DISCUSSION REGARDING WINTER STORM IMPACTS ON
[2. Presentation of Code Enforcement performance stats for the second quarter.]
THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. MS. MEGAN?>> YES. THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE FOR YOU-ALL SO THAT YOU KNOW WHAT RECREATION AND PARK STAFF I HAD DONE TO SERVE OUR RESIDENTS DURING THE WINTER STORM FROM FEBRUARY 15TH TO THE 21ST.
WE DID OPEN THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER AS A WARMING CENTER FOR THE COMMUNITY.
WE TRACK THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING AMENITIES INCLUDING SHOWER USE.
WE HAD A FEW PEOPLE COME IN FOR RESTROOMS, BULK WATER PICKUP.
MANY OF YOU GUYS WERE OUT THERE HELPING TO DISTRIBUTE WATER.
WE HAD ONE INDIVIDUAL COME AND USE THE FACILITY FOR WARMING USE.
WE ALSO HAD VARIOUS ITEMS DONATED TO THE RECREATION CENTER FROM EMS. WE HAD A PARTNER, CENTER POINT ENERGY DONATED ABOUT 30 BREAKFAST MEALS THAT WE ALSO DISTRIBUTED TO STAFF THAT WERE WORKING DURING THE TIME.
WE HELPED PROVIDE SOME OF THOSE DONATED ITEMS TO ACTION IF THEY WERE NOT USED DURING THAT TIME.
THEY ARE STILL ACTUALLY BEING USED AND STORED AT THE FACILITY.
WE WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU SOME INFORMATION REGARDING OUR MEMBERSHIPS AND DAILY PASSES DURING THIS TIME WHERE WE WERE CLOSED DOWN.
BASED ON CALCULATIONS FOR OUR TYPICAL DAILY PASS AND MEMBERSHIPS IN FEBRUARY, WE ANTICIPATED A LOSS OF ABOUT $2,000 IN REVENUE FOR MEMBERSHIPS AND A LITTLE OVER $1,000 FOR DAILY PASS SALES DURING THAT TIME.
THEY WANTED 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 22 PALLETS OF WATER AT THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER FOR DISTRIBUTION.
THOSE WERE THE THREE OPPORTUNITIES WE WERE REFERRING TO.
WITH RESPECT TO THE BULK WATER, WE HAD PATRONS COME IN AND GET WATER IF THEY NEEDED TO, JUST TO FLUSH TOILETS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
THAT WAS ALSO A SERVICE THAT WE 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 2-1-1 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.
WE WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THAT INFORMATION.
[3. Presentation on Gateway Master Plan concepts.]
THE DAMAGE THAT WE HAD AT SOME OF OUR PARKS, INCLUDING FREEDOM PARK, BATES PARK, AND BD PECK SOCCER COMPLEX, AMOUNTED TO A LITTLE OVER $3,000 IN REPAIRS.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 WE 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 DON'T HAVE THEIR WATER ON.
EVEN WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE WATER, SOME FOLKS STILL HAD IT TURNED OFF BECAUSE THEY HAD SO MUCH DAMAGE.
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.
WE JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME INFORMATION AND ALLOW YOU TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THE STORM AND HOW WE ANSWERED TO RESIDENT'S CONCERNS OR NEEDS?
HOW DOES THE REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM WORK IF YOU DON'T HAVE WATER?
[OVERLAPPING] WE'RE SAYING NO. [LAUGHTER]
>> I HAVE ONE, AND MINE WASN'T WORKING.
>> RIGHT. WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS WHEN THE WATER IS TURNED ON BUT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO WATER LIKE MANY HAD DAMAGE THAT STILL WERE COMING TO THE RECREATION CENTER EVEN
[00:05:03]
WHEN THE 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.
WE WERE ALLOWING THEM TO COME.
THEY CAN NOW COME AND FILL UP BULK WATER BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT SYSTEM IN PLACE.
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 CAN'T ACCESS IT CAN COME AND GET AND FILL UP THEIR DRINKING WATER. [OVERLAPPING] IF THEY DON'T HAVE BOTTLE WATER ACCESSED TO THEM.
>> THEY DON'T WANT TO DRINK THE ANGLETON DRINKING WATER UNLESS IT'S BEEN PROCESSED THROUGH REVERSE OSMOSIS?
>> NO. TO BE CLEAR, WHAT I'M SAYING IS IF PEOPLE HAVE DAMAGE TO THEIR HOME [OVERLAPPING].
THEY HAVE TO TURN THE 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.
>> OKAY. I'LL GET YOU LATER [LAUGHTER].
>> I HAPPEN TO HAVE A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM ON MY HOUSE JUST BECAUSE, BUT I STILL DRINK ANGLETON DRINKING WATER OUT OF MY TAP.
>> PART OF IT IS IF WE HAVE A WALL WATER NOTICE.
WE HAD TWO IN THE LAST YEAR, THEN 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.
>> THEN, THE SECOND PART IS, WE JUST SUBMITTED FOR A GRANT FOR COLLECTING RAINWATER.
AGAIN, THE REC CENTER WOULD BE A POTENTIAL SITE FOR THAT.
WE COLLECT RAINWATER, IF WE NEED TO TREAT IT MORE, WE COULD PUMP IT IN OUR WATER SYSTEM AND THEN USE REVERSE OSMOSIS TO MAKE IT DRINKABLE.
>> MEGAN, YOUR STAFF AT THE REC CENTER, YOU HAD CHARGE STATIONS.
YOU'VE HAD HOT SHOWERS AND OTHER THINGS.
AFTER EXPERIENCING A LIST OF THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE THE NEXT WEATHER EVENT OR NATURAL DISASTER, WHATEVER, HELPFUL TO HAVE, IS THERE SOME THINGS YOU NOTICE YOU NEED THAT YOU DON'T HAVE?
>> YES. 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 THE 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 AND REIMBURSEMENT TYPES OF PROGRAMS. ADDITIONALLY, WHAT IS NOT POTENTIALLY FUNDED BY THAT, WE'RE GOING TO BRING TO YOU ALL FOR BUDGET.
>> WELL, YEAH. [LAUGHTER] I THINK WHEN WE FIRST STARTED LOOKING AT BUILDING FACILITY, WE ALWAYS KNEW IT WOULD BE SOMETHING FOR THE COMMUNITY WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU NEED STORAGE.
I THINK DURING HARVEY, DIDN'T WE HAVE SOME OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES STAYED THERE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WERE ON COATS OR THAT STUFF.
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 HAVE DONE ALREADY IS I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S THREE CONICS BOXES FOUR AT THE OLD KHYBER ANDERSON BUILDING THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY USING FOUR 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 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 COSTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
THAT HAS BEEN COMPILED, AND AGAIN, I BELIEVE THAT'S GOING BEFORE COUNCIL JUST TO REVIEW AND SEE WHAT THE NEEDS ARE.
>> BUT 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 HOOKUP FOR A TEMPORARY GENERATOR SO THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONNECT TO A GENERATOR.
BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT GRANTS FOR A PERMANENT GAS.
>> BOTH FOR HURRICANE LAURA AND THE WINTER STORM,
[00:10:02]
THE FEMA MITIGATION GRANTS ARE OUT AND SO THAT'S OUR OPPORTUNITY TO STICK IN GENERATORS, AND RAINWATER COLLECTION, AND SOME OF THESE OTHER BIG THINGS THAT WE CAN APPLY FOR.BASICALLY WE'RE GOING TAKE THE SAME PACKAGE AND PUT IT IN BOTH MITIGATION GRANTS AND IF WE GET ONE OR THE OTHER COMBINATION THEN WE CAN DO THAT.
WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THE AMERICAS RECOVERY ACT, THAT'S FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND BROADBAND.
AGAIN, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT FACILITIES, AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS, AND WE COULD POTENTIALLY STICK A GENERATOR IN THAT.
BUT GETTING THE HOOKUP GIVES US THE ABILITY TO RENT IT AND PUT IT ON SITE, AND NOW WE'VE GOT 24-HOUR POWER.
>> GOOD QUESTIONS CHRIS, WE'VE DECIDED WHEN WE HAD OUR COUNCIL IS LOOK AT WAYS THAT WE CAN BE MORE SELF-SUFFICIENT FOR YEARS WE WENT ON THE GOVERNMENT.
NOW EVERYBODY'S WITH THE GOVERNMENT SO WE DECIDED TO GET A LIST HOW WE CAN SUSTAIN OUR CITY FOR AT LEAST 4-5 DAYS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE 4-5 DAYS TO GET STUFF INTO THE CITY.
THE STAFF HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD ABOUT THINKING ABOUT HOOKUPS, BEDS, COTS, SHEETS, WATER, FOOD, MRE'S, WERE THEN BECAUSE WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE 2-3 DAYS FOR WE FINALLY GET SOME ASSETS FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
THEY'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB IN TRYING TO START THINKING FOUR DAYS OUT, WHAT WE'LL NEED IN THE CITY? BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY THINKING RESPONDERS, IS THE NURSING HOMES, THERE'S JUST ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE'VE ENCOUNTERED IN THE LAST [LAUGHTER] 4-5 DISASTERS THOUGH.
>> YOU DID WELL ON THE WATER BECAUSE WHEN SOCIAL MEDIA YOU HEAR GOOD AND BAD BUT IT'S SEEMED LIKE ANGLETON WAS AHEAD OF THE GAME.
>> WHATEVER YOU DID THERE YOU DID RIGHT.
>> YES, I HAD OTHER MAYORS FROM OTHER CITIES CALLING ME SAYING, "HOW DID YOU GET THAT SO FAST?" IT'S JUST A LOT OF FORWARD THINKING, A LOT OF PLANNING SO THEY DID IT. THANK YOU GUYS.
ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE STORM, ANYBODY FROM THE DIRECTOR'S? LET'S MOVE ON, RECREATION.
NUMBER 3 DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER, AQUATIC AREA DOOR REPLACEMENT BIDS.
>> GOOD EVENING, CAN YOU HERE ME? 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 SITTING AREA.
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 IF YOU'RE LOOKING IN THE LEFT THE GARAGED AREA THERE ARE TWO ACCESS ENTRY SINGLE DOORS.
A TOTAL OF TWO BIDS WERE RECEIVED AND BIDS RANGE IN PRICE FROM $42,482 TO $51,185.90, FOR THE TOTAL PROJECT.
LAUREN CONSTRUCTION OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE TO DO ONLY TWO SETS OF DOORS AND TWO SINGLE DOORS THAT CAME IN AT $20,234.93, AND THEY ALSO SUBMITTED A BID TO CREATE A CONCRETE PAD FOR ADA COMPLIANCE OUTSIDE EAST THE SET OF DOUBLE DOORS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S A DROP-OFF.
THIS BID WAS FOR $4,264.20 ON THAT PAD ALONE.
THE LOWEST BID WITH BEST GUARANTEE AND COVER THE FULL PROJECT WAS FROM NABCO, AND ANOTHER COMPANY WITH 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.
AN ADDENDUM WITH ISSUED EXTENDING THE DATE TO SUBMIT THE BIDS BECAUSE THE CITY UTILIZE 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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO A 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 THIS ONE IS 42,482 IS COMING FROM THE RECREATION CONTINGENCY.
>> JURY AIN'T THIS THE SAME COMPANY THAT DID THE ENTRY DOOR?
>> 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 YOU CALL THEM AND THEY ARE OUT THE NEXT DAY, EVEN WITH WEEKENDS THEY HAVE ALSO DONE THE DOORS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL.
>> WONDERFUL, SO I HAVE A QUESTION.
[00:15:03]
$51,000 FOR THREE DOOR SOUNDS CRAZY, SO WHAT MAKES THEM SO SPECIAL?>> IT'S THREE SETS OF DOORS, SO THEY HAVE THE IMPACT GLASS ON THEM AS WELL BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER THING WITH IT HAVING THAT OUTSIDE AREA WE CHECKED WITH NIL INSURANCE ON WHAT GLASS WEAVER NEEDED, AND IT'S THE 9 16TH INCH.
THERE IS THAT [NOISE] I HAD TALKED TO HIM 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.
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 YOU ARE LIKE ROLLED ALL TOGETHER IN THE LUMP-SUM WHERE BOTH OF ARE PRETTY MUCH IN THERE BUT WITH THE BOND ANY THE COMPANIES LIKE THIS COMPANY DO THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO FOOT THE BOND THEMSELVES OR ARE WE ALWAYS CHARGED FOR THE BOND AMOUNT, FOR THE BID BOND AND THE PAYMENT BOND?
>> WE TALKED ABOUT THIS RECENTLY ACTUALLY.
WE ACTUALLY JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING SO FROM OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THESE COMPANIES, THE TWO THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT I BELIEVE IT'S LAUREN WITH THE SLIDE AND THEN ALSO NABCO WITH THE DOORS, THEY HAVE FOOT THE BILL ON THAT FOR THE BID BOND.
>> WHEN THEY DID THE ACTUAL BID AND THE BID IS LIKE 39,982 AND THE END THE TOTAL BID IS 42,400.
>> MY APOLOGIES, LIKE SHE SAID WE TALKED ABOUT THIS THIS MORNING AND I HAVE RECENTLY SO MY SALES REPRESENTATIVE HAS CHANGED BECAUSE HE'S MOVED UP IN THE COMPANY.
MY NEW REPRESENTATIVE JUST ACTUALLY SENT US ANOTHER QUOTE TO GET THE CONTRACT TOGETHER SO WE DIDN'T CHANGE THE QUOTE, VINCENT DOES THE CONTRACT AND SO WHAT HE HAS ACTUALLY GIVEN US IS THE 39,982 SO THAT BID BOND THEY'RE FITTING IT.
I AM SO SORRY ABOUT LEAVING THAT OUT.
>> EVEN A BETTER PRICE.[LAUGHTER]
>> SORRY, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE [BACKGROUND].
>> WHAT WAS IN CONTINGENCY, AGAIN? I FORGET HOW MUCH WE LEFT AT. [OVERLAPPING].
>> I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT $301,000
>> LET ME CLARIFY THAT YOU MAY SEE IT ON YOUR STATEMENT [LAUGHTER] 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 $301,000 SO RATHER THAN COMING TO A ABLC ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS WERE USING THE REC CENTER FUND BALANCE WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY THE ABLC FUNDS; ANYWAYS BUDGETED BUT SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS YOU'LL SEE AN OVERAGE.
LET ME TRY TO GET TO THAT SHEET INCREASES, SO I THINK IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUDGET AND CONTINGENCY AROUND 10,000, AND 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.
>>THE REC CENTER ROOF THAT'S THE 108 THAT YOU SEE.
THAT PROJECT WAS, I BELIEVE 217,127, AND MY REC UPDATES WILL TELL YOU WE'RE FINISHED WITH THAT PROJECT.
WE JUST HAVE TO DO THE FINAL INSPECTION TO GET THEM THAT FINAL PAYMENT.
SEGUEING OFF OF ELLEN'S, THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT WAS THE BIG GARAGE DOOR THINGS.
I'M LIKE, "GOOD, WE'RE GETTING A NEW ONE OF THOSE." IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE SIZE OF THE GLASS, THE IMPACT RESISTANCE OF THE GLASS, AND THEN THE SPECIAL METAL SO IT DOESN'T CORRODE?
>> APPARENTLY, THE SERVICE THEY OFFER TO BE ABLE TO COME.
>> BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE FRONT DOORS, THAT ONE WAS [OVERLAPPING] 25,000.
>> I CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT I REMEMBER THESE PEOPLE FROM THAT.
>> THE FRONT DOORS ALONE AND THAT WAS THE TWO SETS, THAT WAS 25,000 FOR THOSE AUTOMATIC DOORS.
[00:20:01]
>> ARE THESE GOING TO BE AUTOMATIC OR JUST?
>> THESE WILL NOT BE AUTOMATIC.
THAT'S A DIFFERENT PROJECT. [LAUGHTER]
>> DON'T WANT PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY OPEN HERE.
>> DOES THE PRICE INCLUDE? I'M I UNDERSTANDING THAT IT ALSO INCLUDES THE ADA?
>> [OVERLAPPING] IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CONCRETE PATH AND 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 HAVE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT.
AS IS WITH I BELIEVE IT'S THE EXTERIOR ONE TO THE PARTY PAD.
WE WOULD LOVE FOR ALL OF THE EXITS TO HAVE THAT ACCESSIBILITY.
BUT WE DO AT LEAST HAVE MINIMALLY ONE.
>>THE EAST SIDE IS THE ONE THAT HAS A DROP SITE.
THE WEST SIDE, AS YOU WALK IN THAT ONE IS LEVEL WITH GROUND.
WHY THEY WERE MADE DIFFERENTLY I'M NOT SURE, BUT THAT ONE IS LEVEL WITH GROUND.
>> EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DOORS OF THE REC CENTER.
[LAUGHTER] DIRECTORS, WHAT IS YOUR ALL PLEASURE?
>> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE BID AS PROPOSED WITH NEBCO FOR THE $42,482.
>> WELL, NOW IN THE INFORMATION YOU SENT TO US, WE'VE GOT THE BOND.
ARE THEY NOT CHARGING THE BOND?
>> MOTION BY DIRECTOR ROGERS, SECOND BY DIRECTOR [INAUDIBLE] ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?
>> ON THE BIDS, WHERE ARE WE ADVERTISING THOSE BIDS? ON OUR WEBSITE ONLY AND IN THE FAX.
>> WE ADVERTISE IN THE FAX, WE POST IT ONLINE AND THEN WE REACH OUT TO IF WE KNOW OF VENDOR'S 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? THEY HAVE PUBLICATION?
>> IT'S A GOVERNMENT COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT.
THEY'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF COMPETITIVE.
>> THANK YOU, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?
>> HERE WE THEN, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I.
>> ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE, SAME SIGN. THAT MOTION CARRIES.
ITEM NUMBER 4, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER AQUATIC AREA SLIDE REPAIR BID. MISS JERRY.
>> WE COMPLETED A BID PROCESS TO SECURE LOWEST PRICING AND THEN 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 WITH TML ON JUNE 9TH OF 2020.
UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE REPRESENTATIVES SAW SIGNIFICANT RUST AND OXIDATION AND METAL DETERIORATION WAS IDENTIFIED ON THE STRUCTURE.
UNDER THE ARM SUPPORTS, BOLT ASSEMBLIES AND BRACKETS, THE REST IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT METAL IS FLAKING AND CHIPPING OFF, CREATING POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERNS.
THE INTEGRITY OF THE STRUCTURE INCLUDING DEEP REST ON THE COLUMN-BASED 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.
AFTER PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BRACES AND SUPPORT ARMS NEED TO BE REPLACED TO BRING THIS SLIDE UP TO CODE FOR REOPENING.
THE PROJECT SHALL INCLUDE 12 STEEL SUPPORT ARMS AND 24 STEEL BRACE SUPPORTS.
WE RECEIVE ONE BID FROM LINK CONSTRUCTION, AND THAT BID CAME IN AT A TOTAL OF $59,383.70 FOR REPAIRS FOR THE RECREATION CENTER AQUATIC LARGE SLIDE.
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.
WE HAVE LOOKED AT OUR CURRENT FUNDS WITHIN THE RECREATION CENTERS BUDGET, AND THEN WE HAVE MONEY IN OUR POOL MAINTENANCE TO COVER IT.
THAT WILL HELP COVER THOSE COSTS OF WHATEVER WE CANNOT RECOVER IN THE FUND BALANCE OR THE CONTINGENCIES.
SORRY. RECOMMENDATION IS STAFF RECOMMENDS AVLC TO APPROVE THE BID FROM LINK CONSTRUCTION AND AUTHORIZE CITY STAFF TO PROCEED WITH CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION.
[00:25:02]
>> THIS THIS CAME UP 10 MONTHS AGO.
WAS IT COVID AND THINGS BEING CLOSED WHY WE DIDN'T PURSUE DOING THIS SOONER OR WERE WE WAITING ON MORE BIDS?
>> WE WENT OUT FOR BID AND WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY DURING THE FORMAL PROCESS.
LAUREN CONSTRUCTION HAD COME OUT TO LOOK AT IT, I HAVE GOTTEN BACK WITH THEM BECAUSE WE TALKED TO SOME OTHER VENDORS AS WELL AND A LOT OF AREA, HOUSTON IT WAS I DON'T DO THAT KIND OF WORK OR IS TOO BIG OF A PROJECT.
WE GOT WITH LAUREN CONSTRUCTION AGAIN.
LAUREN WAS JUST LIKE, "HEY, THEY CAME OUT, THEY DID THE INSPECTION." THAT'S WHY, THEN ALSO WITH GETTING IT APPROVED, I BELIEVE.
BECAUSE OF WINTER STORM, WE HAD TO DELAY THE AVLC MEETING.
IT WAS ALSO A LOT OF PROCESS WHEN HE SAID CLOSING IN JUNE, BUT GETTING IT WE GOT TO A ENGINEER TO COME OUT AND DO A REVIEW ON IT.
TEXAS AMUSEMENTS WANTED US TO SAY, CAN YOU OPEN IT OR CAN YOU NOT.
AFTER THAT ENGINEER [INAUDIBLE] LIKE, "HEY, NOW YOU CAN OPEN IT."
>> ABOUT THE PUBLIC GETTING SOMETHING DONE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN OTHER WAYS.
I JUST WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE 10 MONTH PERIOD.
WE'RE JUST ONLY ONE BIT THOUGH.
JUST THE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE, I'M SURE YOU'VE DONE YOUR DUE DILIGENCE ON TRYING TO FIND IF THIS IS A FAIR MARKET PRICE FOR THIS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE FAIRNESS OF THE PRICE FOR $50,000 PLUS.
>> WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REFERENCE.
I WILL TELL YOU WE SPOKE WITH LAUREN 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.
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.
I BELIEVE WITH LAUREN BEING ONE OF OUR MORE LOCAL REPUTABLE COMPANIES THAT WE CAN RELY ON GOOD WORK BEING DONE.
>> THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE LAUREN SO FAR, WE DON'T THINK WE'VE BEEN PRETTY MUCH OVER PRICED BY USING LAUREN IN THE PAST.
THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY FAIR WITH WHAT THIS WAS PRICED?
>> AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, YES.
TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE DONE WORK IN THE AREA.
I WANT TO SAY THAT THEY WAS AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
>> YES, THEY DID. THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF BIG AND MUNICIPAL PROJECTS. THEY'RE WELL KNOWN.
>> THEY ARE IN OUR BACKYARD, DR. BROWN.
I THINK THEY WOULD PROBABLY TREAT US PRETTY WELL DOWN HERE BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST DOWN THE STREET.
>> HE LIVES AROUND THE CORNER FROM YOU.
[LAUGHTER] IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM WE ARE GOING TO SEE DR BROWN [INAUDIBLE] HOUSE AND HAVE A VISIT.
>> ALSO WITH THE DOORS, THE PROJECT MENTOR AT THE TIME, LINDSAY WAS HELPING US OUT AND SHE ALSO SENT THIS OUT TO CHOICE PARTNERS AS WELL.
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 MONTH I WAS THERE?
>> I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE BID FOR THE AQUATIC SLIDE AREA REPAIR AS GIVEN.
>> HAVE A MOTION BY DIRECTOR EB, WAS THAT YOU, JOHN, AS A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO-TEM WRIGHT.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.
WE'LL FLIP BACK UP TO THE ITEM NUMBER 5, DISCUSSION ON RECREATION DIVISION UPDATES.
>> OKAY. ON THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER ROOF, COUNCIL APPROVED THE JACO CONTRACT ON JANUARY 26 OF '21 AND WE BEGAN WORKING ON THE ROOF FEBRUARY 23RD, 2021.
WE HAD ACTUALLY WANTED TO START THE WEEK BEFORE, BUT THAT WAS WINTER STORM [LAUGHTER] SO WE HAD A DELAY.
THEY HAVE PROVIDED STAFF WITH PROGRESS PHOTOS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT.
WHEN WE MADE THIS AS A 331, 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]
BUT THEY WANT TO TEST FOR LEAKS BEFORE.THEY SAID HOLD OFF ON THAT ONE.
AS SOON AS THEY GIVE ME THE OKAY, I WILL START CHANGING OUT CEILING TILES.
PARTICIPATION SURVEYS, STAFFING OUT A SURVEY ON PARTICIPATION AT THE REQUEST OF AVLC TO SEE WHAT'S KEEPING PARTICIPANTS, PARTICULARLY SENIORS, FROM PARTICIPATING AND WHAT STAFF CAN DO TO MAKE THEM COMFORTABLE TO 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 WAIT ROOM.
STAFF WERE WORKING ON ADVERTISING AN OUTREACH METHODS FOR SENIORS IN REGARDS TO PARTICIPATION.
BUT AS OF THE MARCH 10TH, WHEN WE OPEN BACK UP WITH THE REMOVAL OF GOVERNOR ABBOT'S MANDATES AND COUNCIL APPROVAL, WE OPENED BACK UP TO 100 PERCENT CAPACITY IN ALL AREAS.
I WILL TELL YOU, WE HAVE HAD INCREASED PARTICIPATION.
OUR SENIOR COMMISSION HAS ALSO ADOPTED A STRATEGIC PLAN ON HOW TO OUTREACH TO SENIORS.
WE'VE STARTED MAILING OUT LETTERS, NEWSLETTERS.
BINGO HAS GONE FROM THREE PARTICIPANTS TO NOW, WE HAD LAST WEEK, I BELIEVE, EIGHT OR NINE PARTICIPANTS IN BINGO.
WITH THAT, WE ARE LOOKING AT SLOWLY GETTING BACK IN, WITH VACCINATIONS BEING AVAILABLE, HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, STARTING BACK LUNGE BUNCHES AND POSSIBLY TRIPS WITH SENIOR.
WE ARE SEEING ACTIVE PARTICIPATION BACK IN ALL AREAS.
YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL UPDATE, COUNCIL APPROVED THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ON 39 2021 TO APPOINT A YOUTH MEMBER TO THE PARKS BOARD SO WE ARE UPDATING THE APPLICATION PROCESS.
EVENTS AND PROGRAMS, PARTICIPATION IN RECREATION PROGRAMS, LIKE I SAID, IS STARTING TO PICK UP.
WITH MORE BACKSTAGE OPPORTUNITIES AND REMOVAL OF MANDATES, WE ARE SEEING MORE FOLKS PARTICIPATING AS WE SAID IN BINGO, COPY AND CHAT REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER JAMBOREE AND JUNIOR ANGLER.
WE ALSO HOSTED THIS PAST WEEKEND OUR INAUGURAL BATES BRUNCH DISC GOLF TOURNAMENT ON SATURDAY.
WE HAD BOUNCE HOUSE, ACOUSTIC ENTERTAINMENT, A COUPLE OF FOOD TRUCKS.
WE HAD 27 PARTICIPANTS IN THAT DISC GOLF TOURNAMENT.
IT WAS VERY COLD, BUT THEY STILL CAME OUT AND HAD A GREAT TIME.
THEY'VE 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 NOT, HOPEFULLY WITHIN BY NEXT SPRING OR SO.
>> ANY QUESTIONS ON RECREATION UPDATE?
>> NO, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS APPROPRIATE TIME, BUT I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL MEETINGS RECENTLY AND YOU GUYS ARE ROCKING IT.
YOU ARE WORKING SO HARD AND I'M TOTALLY IMPRESSED AT EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE THIS LIST, NONE OF THESE ARE SIMPLE.
[LAUGHTER] THEN WHEN YOU THROW IN A FEW EVENTS THAT YOU'RE HOSTING INTENDING TO THE DETAILS OF THAT AS WELL.
>> I'D JUST LIKE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR HARD WORK.
>> I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHARE IT WITH OUR STAFF.
>> DO WE HAVE A FULL OR PARTIAL RETURN TO THE VARIOUS CLASSES THAT WERE BEING OFFERED AT THE REC CENTER.
>> JUST PARTICIPATION AND FITNESS CLASSES?
>> I WILL SAY ONCE MASK MANDATES UPLIFTED AND ALSO VACCINATIONS ARE NIGHTTIME, AQUA FITNESS CLASS, OR OUR MORNING AQUA FITNESS CLASS WENT FROM FOUR PEOPLE TO NOW WE'RE SEEING ABOUT 12 PEOPLE IN THAT CLASS.
>> OUR MORNING YOGA WENT FROM ABOUT SIX PEOPLE TO NOW WE'RE ABOUT 15-16 INDIVIDUALS IN YOGA IN THE MORNING.
WE ARE TRYING NOT TO MAX OUT TOO MUCH OUR INSTRUCTORS, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO MAX OUT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE WITH OUR FITNESS CLASSES.
I BELIEVE FROM WHAT OUR BUDGET IS, WE ARE MAXED OUT WHERE WE'RE AT ESPECIALLY WITH THE USE OF OUR INSTRUCTORS.
>> OKAY. LOOKING FORWARD, AS YOU TRY TO FORECAST WHAT HAPPENS AS PEOPLE GET MORE COMFORTABLE, PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS 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 WERE BEING PARTICIPATED WITH THAT HAVEN'T COME BACK THAT WE'RE PLANNING TO BRING ON OR WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THAT?
>> CURRENTLY, WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR BUDGET AS WELL WE COULD GO BACK AND LOOKING AT OUR POUND CLASS, WE HAVEN'T OFFERED POUND, THAT WAS WITH THE DRUMSTICKS.
WE CAN LOOK AT BRINGING THAT BACK,
[00:35:04]
BUT ALSO LOOKING AT WHAT OUR INSTRUCTORS ARE.REC SPECIALIST HAS A QUARTERLY MEETING AS TO WHO CAN OFFER WHAT AND WHO'S OFFERING.
I WILL SAY, IF ANYBODY KNOWS A PERSON THAT TEACHES SOMETHING AS FITNESS, BE FANTASTIC TO REACH OUT TO US BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A MINIMALIST ON WHAT INSTRUCTORS THAT WE DO HAVE.
BUT IF YOU ALL KNOW ANYBODY, PLEASE, WE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO.
OUR MEMBERS HAVE ASKED FOR MORE CLASSES [OVERLAPPING] AS WELL.
>> I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU GOT THAT BALANCE BACK.
>> WHEN ARE WE DOING X, WHEN ARE WE DOING Y, OR WHAT ABOUT THAT?
>> YES. BECAUSE THEY WANT ANOTHER 9:30 AM OR 9 O'CLOCK CLASS, BUT WE OFFER CURRENTLY AN 8:30-9:30 CLASS SO IT WOULD BE LIKE 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.
>> I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WHEN WE DECIDED TO THANK YOU MEGAN FOR BUYING THE CURTAIN TO DIVIDE THAT VERY LARGE GYM SO WE CAN USE THE GYM FOR MULTIPLE THINGS.
>> DEFINITELY, AND WE'VE ACTUALLY WORKING WITH STAFF.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THE GYM OPEN DURING THE SUMMER, FOR SUMMER JAMBOREE.
>> WITH THAT CURTAIN THERE 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.
>> ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MS. JARED.
MOVING RIGHT ALONG NUMBER 6, DISCUSSION IN POSSIBLE ACTION ON RECREATION CENTER RENOVATION AND EXPANSION.
>> YES. THIS WAS AN ITEM THAT [INAUDIBLE] HERE 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 AND RECREATION BOARD AS WELL.
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 CARRIERS 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 RE-PURPOSING 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 PROGRAMS, MEANING IT DOESN'T HAVE AMENITIES THAT REALLY INVITE THE PUBLIC TO USE IT.
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.
SOME THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ARE REMOVING THE CENTER BLOCK WALL IN THAT AREA SO THAT IT IS ACTUALLY VISIBLE.
IT PUTS SOME ADDITIONAL SEATING, UMBRELLAS, AND PROGRAM IT WITH JERRY AND I HAVE LOOKED AT CONCRETE AMENITIES LIKE CORN-HOLE, 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 STRANDS LIGHTING SO THAT IT CREATES MORE OF AN AMBIANCE AND IT MAKES IT MORE INVITING.
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 A HIGHLY RESIDENTIAL AREA.
THE NATIONAL STANDARD IS TYPICALLY OR IS 10 MINUTE WALK TO A PARK.
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.
ACTUALLY, PROGRAMMING OUTDOOR AMENITIES, WE COULD CLASSIFY THAT AND HIT AN UNDER-SERVED AREA.
THOSE ARE SOME IDEAS AND CONCEPTS THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING AS STAFF.
[00:40:02]
THEN AGAIN, LIKE I MENTIONED, CHRIS HAS BROUGHT UP AS WELL.WE'VE MENTIONED SOME OF THOSE THINGS HERE IN YOUR SUMMARY AND JUST WANT TO OPEN IT UP FOR CONVERSATION.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS I'VE BROUGHT IT UP, IT CAME UP.
I THINK JURY MAY HAVE ALLUDED TO IT BACK WHEN YOU AND CHARLENE, WERE TALKING ABOUT A SAUNA.
SOMETHING YOU SAID ABOUT NEW FACILITIES OR NEW AMENITIES.
WE CAN TRACK POSSIBLY NEW CUSTOMERS, BUT WE'RE TALKING NOW ABOUT FREEDOM PARK, ABOUT SPLASH PADS, ABOUT DOG PARKS, ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS.
BUT THAT BUILDING, I DON'T KNOW OLD IT IS NOW.
BUT YOU HAVE TO FRESHEN IT UP, THAT THE POOL AREA LOOKS NICE, BUT I WOULD THINK IF YOU HAD NEW AND AMENITIES INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, HOWEVER IT IS, IT WOULD ATTRACT MORE MEMBERS.
THEY WOULD COME, THEY SEE SOMETHING NEW, THEY'LL BECOME MEMBERS, AND SOMEBODY SAID [INAUDIBLE] IN THE BUDGET, THE MORE MEMBERS WE HAVE THE MORE REVENUE WE BRING IN.
IT'S JUST SEEM LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND THOSE THINGS THAT WILL HELP BRING MORE PEOPLE TO THERE.
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 WHO MAY BE MORE COMFORTABLE FOR A LITTLE WHILE BEING OUTSIDE, WHETHER IT'S OUT BY THE PAVILION AREAS.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE A BIG BLANK SLATE WITH THAT OUTDOOR AREA TO DO A WHOLE LOT WITH.
>> ABSOLUTELY. 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 ARE STAKEHOLDERS BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF UNDEVELOPED AREA.
WE'VE DEMOLISHED AND WELSH 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 AND GOTAN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH CAS CATEGORY AND OUR PITCH DETENTION AREA.
THERE IS A WOODED AREA THAT THEY WANT TO HELP US PROGRAM AND MAINTAIN, AND SO IT'S A GREAT COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP.
WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON THINGS LIKE THAT.
PARTNERSHIPS THAT CAN BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE CITY.
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 MASTERING SHEETED PLAN.
I BELIEVE IT'S EITHER A MIDTERM OR A SHORT-TERM GOAL.
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.
YOU COULD DO THAT AT THIS SITE, WE COULD DO IT AT OTHER SITES.
I'M NOT SAYING IT HAS TO BE AT THIS SITE.
BUT WE NEED TO BEGIN HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS SO THAT WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE OF WHAT WE WANT OUR PARK SYSTEM TO LOOK LIKE.
WE'RE NOT DUPLICATING OUR COMMUNITIES AND ALL OF OUR PARK SYSTEMS.
>> IS THERE ANY ADVANTAGE TO HAVING A SPLASH PAD? I KNOW THE INFRASTRUCTURES SUCH AS PARKING IS EXPENSIVE, BUT IF YOU WERE TO PUT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE 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.
ONCE YOU'VE FILTERED, ONE, YOU JUST CONTINUE TO USE.
IS THERE A PREFERENCE IN INDUSTRY OR WHICH WAY DO YOU DO IT?
>> THERE'S EVEN A THIRD. 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.
THOSE ARE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES I WOULD SAY HAVING A UV SYSTEM.
I HATE WASTING, SO I WOULD NOT PROPOSE JUST LETTING IT DRAIN.
IDEALLY, I WOULD DO IRRIGATION OR SECONDARILY I WOULD DO A RECIRCULATING SYSTEM.
>> IT SEEMED LIKE THAT WAS A RECURRING THEME IN OUR SURVEY SPLASH PADS.
>> IT ALWAYS CAME UP. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE BEST IDEA IS, BUT IT'S JUST WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE ALREADY 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, WOULD BE A GREAT ATTRACTOR.
BUT WHAT YOU WOULD SEE ALMOST 99 PERCENT, 100 PERCENT GUARANTEE, IF YOU PUT SHADE STRUCTURES ON THE SIDE, THOSE WILL BE RENTED OUT FOR PARTIES ALL THE TIME.
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 PARTY.
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.
SO THAT'S HOW I WOULD PROGRAM A SPLASH PAD SPECIFICALLY AT THAT LOCATION, ACTUALLY ANY LOCATION.
[00:45:05]
IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT A SLASH PAD ANYWHERE, WE NEED TO HAVE A NUMBER OF PAVILIONS BESIDE IT.>> JERRY DO YOU HAVE HAD A COMMENT.
>> [BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER] BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE GET MAXED OUT AT THE RECREATION CENTER ON THE POOL BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE LIFEGUARDS ARE ON DUTY.
ALSO, JUST IN GENERAL, JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THERE.
WHEN WE GET MAXED OUT, WE HAVE TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY.
RATHER SENDING THEM TO ANOTHER CITY, RATHER 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 AN ISOLATION CENTER.
IF THERE'S A SHADE STRUCTURE, I CAN TELL THEM, YEAH, WE'RE MAXED OUT AT THE POOL IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT, I CAN GET ON TO THE FREEDOM PARK, AND THERE ARE SHADE STRUCTURE THERE, THERE'S A SPLASH PAD, AND THEY CAN HAVE A GREAT TIME THERE.
>> I LIKED THE IDEA OF NOT CHARGING THEM ACCESS FOR THAT.
WHAT 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.
>> IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE'VE GOT TO DO THIS.
LET ME JUST SAY FOR A MINUTE, 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 LIKE, WOULDN'T IT BE NICE? BUT THE TWO THINGS GOT TO MESH UP.
WHAT I'M HEARING, I ALWAYS THINK IN TERMS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE IT'S HOW GOD MADE ME.
IF WE GET TO COUNT THE REC CENTER AS A PARK, ALL WE GOT TO DO IS PUT AN OUTSIDE TRAIL AND WE'RE COUNTING IT, RIGHT?
>> YES, WE JUST NEED OUTSIDE AMENITIES.
>> WHAT'S THE CHEAPEST THING TO MAKE? IS IT NOT JUST AN OUTSIDE TRAIL OF SOME SORT?
BUT SOMETIMES IF WE TAKE A YEAR TO ANALYZE, TO DECIDE TO DO.
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 GOT A LITTLE POSSESS, 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?
>> WE'RE NOW GOING TO PUT A FENCE AROUND IT, RIGHT?
>> OKAY. 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 OUT 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.
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 HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE.
>> PARALYSIS THROUGH ANALYSIS.
>> THAT'S AN ACTUAL THING THAT HAPPENS.
>> IT HAPPENS A LOT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PUT MONEY INTO A STUDY WITHOUT BACKING UP THE ACTIONS.
>> I'M NOT SAYING LET'S DON'T, BUT WE USED TO MAKE PLANS HERE AT HBLC THAT WE SPENT OUR MONEY.
WE SPENT THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DESIGNATE.
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.
WE'D REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A SHADE STRUCTURE HERE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE'RE SPINNING IT.
I'M JUST SAYING, CAN WE FIGURE OUT 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 PARK CON DIDN'T JUST DO THIS FOR LIKE SAD.
THEY HAVE A PRICE FOR CONCRETE.
I WOULD IMAGINE THEY HAVE SOMEWHERE A PRIZE FOR CRUSHED GRANITE.
BADIAN (PHONETIC) IT'S WORKING ON THE OTHER ONE.
THEY COULD PROBABLY TELL YOU SO MUCH FOR FOOT FOR WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO. WE DO HAVE STUDIES.
WE'VE DONE THE ONE FOR FREEDOM PARK, WE DID THAT, AND I THINK WE'VE DONE SOME OTHERS IN THE PAST YEAR THAT MEGAN'S DOWN TO THE PARK, SO WE HAVE, THAT'S WHY I'VE MENTIONED THAT SPLASH PAD.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUT IN PLACE THAT YOU COULD USE.
IT JUST THEN IT COMES UP TO FUNDING.
>> ON YOUR NOTES, GARLAND TOO, I THINK THAT STAFF CAN PRESENT YOU WITH, WE COULD IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN CITY-WIDE,
[00:50:04]
AND SO WE CAN TELL YOU, YES, THIS NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED, REDEVELOPED, 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 LITTLE AT A TIME, HERE'S THE PROJECTS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.
>> [OVERLAPPING] CITIZENS SINGLETON SEE SOMETHING NEW.
SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN DO AND GIVE US SOME POINTS ON SOME OF THE THINGS.
I FORGET SOME OF THE DETAILS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
>> THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL AREA.
>> PEOPLE ARE WALKING ALL ROUND [OVERLAPPING].
>> WERE ALREADY WALKING THERE.
I WAS THINKING 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 THEN IT'S DARK AND PEOPLE GO, ''OH, HOW NEAT IS THAT?'' OKAY, I'M GOING TO THROW THIS OUT HERE.
NO, I CAN'T BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.
>> WELL, THIS IS DISCUSSION IMPOSSIBLE ACTION.
>> I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE, WHAT WOULD BE THE COST TO PROVIDE A TRAIL AROUND THE REC CENTER? ALSO, WHAT WE COULD DO WITH THAT CINDER BLOCKS 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.
>> WE HAVE QUOTES FOR PORTIONS OF THAT, SO WE'RE PUTTING A PACKAGE TOGETHER.
WHAT I'LL HAVE YOU RECEIVE, WELL, IN THE HOUSE, WE'RE GOING TO TEAR DOWN THE WALL.
WE CAN DO THAT, I BELIEVE IS WHAT WE DISCUSSED. CORRECT, STEWART? [LAUGHTER] WE HAD SPARK LIGHTING COME OUT LAST YEAR ACTUALLY FOR STRAND LIGHTS.
I DON'T WANT TO LIE TO YOU, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO SOME OF THESE QUOTES.
>> [OVERLAPPING] I HAVE BOUGHT SOME FROM BALLARD.
[OVERLAPPING] I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO GO TO THE PERSON WHO'S GOING TO SEND IT TO GET $1,000 A STRAND.
>> BUT I DON'T WANT TO PUSH THAT BOUNDARIES HERE, BUT I JUST PUT SOME REALLY COOL ONES.
[LAUGHTER] IN MY BACKYARD FOR MY PARTY.
>> [LAUGHTER] WE WANT TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL TABLES, JERRY COULD PROBABLY TELL YOU THE COST OF THE TABLES AND UMBRELLAS.
>> IN THE TABLE AND THE UMBRELLAS [INAUDIBLE] $1,400 FOR TABLES AND UMBRELLAS.
>> FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR TABLE AND UMBRELLA.
>> FOURTEEN OR 1,500 PER TABLE AND UMBRELLA, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A REGULAR HEXAGON TABLE.
WE ALSO HAVE AN ADA COMPLIANT HEXAGON TABLE, SO WE'LL CHECK AND ROLL THAT INCLUSIVE. WE HAVE THAT.
WE HAVE GOTTEN QUOTES FOR PING-PONG TABLES AND PORTHOLE ABOUT $7,000. [OVERLAPPING].
>> YES. THAT LIKE SHE SAID, WE CAN COME IN AND WE CAN RENT YOU THE [OVERLAPPING].
>> [OVERLAPPING] I THINK ENTHUSIASM SHOULD DRIVE THIS BECAUSE JUST LISTEN TO EVERYONE TALK ON THIS, SO MUCH ENTHUSIASM ABOUT THIS.
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 CAREERS AND [INAUDIBLE] JUST REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
I THINK JUST JUMP IN ON THIS AND JUST USE THE ENTHUSIASM TO DRIVE THIS.
LIKE YOU SAID, WE ALREADY HAVE THE FUNDS THERE AND THIS CAN BE SOMETHING THAT IT'S ALMOST WHEN THEY SEE THE LIGHTS GO UP, THEY'RE GOING TO COME, IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME.
[LAUGHTER] I REALLY THINK THAT THIS WAS TO PROCESS, YOU JUST PUSHING FORWARD AND JUST GOING AHEAD WITH THIS.
>> WELL, WE NEED BAD, WE NEED TO KNOW THE NUMBER.
>> [OVERLAPPING] ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING. [OVERLAPPING].
>> I WOULD LOVE THAT IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE.
ONE TIME WE DREW [OVERLAPPING] A TRAIL, ON THE AREA SO [OVERLAPPING] WE'VE TO KNOW HOW MANY LINEAR FEET IT IS.
>> [OVERLAPPING] IN THE TERMS OF MOTION, DO WE.
>> WE MAY NOT NEED A MOTION. I THINK. [OVERLAPPING].
>> JUST DIRECTION DOES THAT. [OVERLAPPING].
>> DIRECTION FROM US IS GOING TO RAISE THOUGHT PROCESS, THEY KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR SO THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD.
[OVERLAPPING] WE'LL DO THAT AT COUNSEL, WE JUST GIVE DIRECTION, AND THEN THEY'LL COME BACK TO 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.
I FEEL THAT THE TRAIL, BECAUSE WE DON'T YET KNOW WHAT ANY EXPANSION FOR THE REC CENTER MAY BE.
I'D HATE TO BUILD A TRAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF A POTENTIAL EXPANSION AREA,
[00:55:03]
SO IF WE CAN MAKE THAT LONGER GO AROUND THE [INAUDIBLE] DETENTION AND MAKE IT [OVERLAPPING] A LARGER LOOP.>> THAT MAKES IT WORTH THE WALK.
>> YEAH. PERFECT. [OVERLAPPING] LIKE IMPLANT BLUEBONNETS LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT. [LAUGHTER].
>> [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER] GOING TO LOG YOUR STEPS IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOIL TO STEP.
>> BASICALLY, WE HAVE SPACE AND WE MAY HAVE SOME MATERIALS THE END, SO NOT NECESSARILY NEED THE FUNDING.
>> WELL, WE WILL LIKELY NEED FUNDING. [LAUGHTER]
>> EXACTLY. WHAT I HAVE NO IDEA OF, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE REC CENTER IS 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 OKAY TO HAVE A SAWDUST TROUGH.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I'M NOT GOING TO BE RUNNING ON IT.
>> THE ONLY THING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADOPT MINIMUM PARK STANDARDS IN OUR PARKLAND'S DEDICATION ORDINANCE, AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT IT'S ADA ACCESSIBLE.
WE'VE GOT TO MEET THAT CRITERIA ALSO.
>> PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO ASK YOU, [BACKGROUND] ADA ACCESSIBLE TO A WALKING TRAIL. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
>> WE HAVE TO HAVE THE [BACKGROUND] SLOPES, THE RAMPS, AND IT HAS TO BE A COMPACT MATERIAL.
LIKE OUR DECOMPOSED GRANITE AT FREEDOM PARK IS ADA PASSABLE.
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 THE FLAT AREA? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY [OVERLAPPING].
>> NO, I'M SAYING, SO IF YOU GO TO THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER, WHEN YOU COME AROUND THE FRONT, YOU'RE GOING TO HIT OUR SIDEWALK.
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 TO GO.
YOU'VE ALREADY THOUGHT THIS. I'M RIGHT.
HOW DO YOU DO IT? BUT IF YOU GET A CIRCLE, YOU GET TO CLEAR THE PARKING LOT.
>> WELL AND, YES, WE'LL USE OUR EXISTING SIDEWALK FOR THAT AS JUST A CONNECTOR, BUT [OVERLAPPING] RIGHT UP FRONT THE DUMPSTER AREA, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A SLOPE AND RAMPS TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRAIL.
I WAS JUST THINKING IT'S FLAT WE'RE WALKING, BUT IF WE CIRCLE AROUND, WE DO HAVE TO CROSS THAT.
>> BECAUSE MAYAN, 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.
IF THERE'S THINGS YOU CAN DO WITHIN YOUR OPERATIONAL BUDGET, I'M ALL FOR IT.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE CAPITAL, I WANT TO SEE THE LISTING AS IT PERTAINS TO THE WHOLE CITY.
BECAUSE IF WE DO A CAPITAL PROJECT TO THE REC CENTER, WHAT DO WE NOT GOING TO DO SOMEWHERE ELSE? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FROM A CAPITAL POINT, WE'RE IN COMPLIANT AND NOT PUSHING ALL OF OUR MONEY IN THE RIGHT SEGMENT. [OVERLAPPING].
>> 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.
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING OR WE'RE SAYING WE'RE OVERARCHING VIEW THAT IT NEEDS TO BE IN COMPARISON TO PARKS, RECREATION, AND DRAINAGE FOR THOSE CAPITAL PROJECTS.
BUT I AGREE. [OVERLAPPING] YEAH.
>> IF YOU COME BACK AND SAY THAT TRAILS GOING TO COST $300,000, I'M GOING TO SAY, OKAY, [LAUGHTER] NEVER MIND, SO I'M JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE, IF IT'S A $300,000 TRAIL, WE CAN AFFORD IT.
I HOPE THAT'S NOT WHAT, DID I ANSWER IT.
>> [OVERLAPPING] I WANT TO SAY THAT THE FREEDOM PARK TRAIL WAS $80,000.
[BACKGROUND] I WANT TO SAY OFF TOP MY HEAD THAT THE FREEDOM PARK TRAIL WAS 80,000.
>> BINGO, AT LEAST DON'T HAVE ANY INFLATION.
>> YEAH. [OVERLAPPING] HE IS GOING TO SAY [INAUDIBLE].
>> YEAH. I'M SURE. [OVERLAPPING].
>> WELL, THAT'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT.
>> ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR ITEM NUMBER 6?
>> GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS AND THE FEEDBACK. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
MOVING ALONG PARKS NUMBER 7, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON ANGLETON LITTLE HIGGS STORAGE BUILDING BIDS. YES, MEGAN?
>> YES. WE HAD BRENT JENSEN, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ANGLETON LITTLE HIGGS [LAUGHTER] ORANGE BUILDING PROJECT FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
WE HAD SOME BITS 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.
BLS CONSTRUCTION, WE HAD THREE DIFFERENT BUILDINGS STYLES, AND THIS WAS BASED ON A PREVIOUS APLC MEETING REGARDING THE MATERIALS USED,
[01:00:01]
METAL BUILDING SOME MASONRY, AND THEN ALL MASONRY.WHAT YOU HAVE IS STYLE 1, MINIMUM BID OF $98,808, MAXIMUM BID WITH CONSTRUCTION MASTERS OF HOUSTON, 129,715, SECOND STYLE HERE, PARTIAL MASONRY, 138,000 VERSUS THE MAX OF 169,705, AND ALL MASONRY MINIMUM BID WAS 158,000 MAX, $192,095.
THEY BOTH DID A 20-YEAR STRUCTURAL WARRANTY, AND THREE-YEAR ASSEMBLY AND INSTALL WORKMANSHIP.
I BELIEVE BLS IS MORE OF A LOCAL COMPANY HERE THAT DID ASK FOR SOME ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATIONS BECAUSE THIS HAS NOT BEEN A DESIGNED ENGINEERED DRAWINGS, THAT'S NOT WHAT WENT OUT TO BID, WE JUST PROVIDED CONCEPTS.
THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS FROM BLS CONSTRUCTION.
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 48 WAS NOT SIGNED BECAUSE COMPLETION DATES DEPEND ON THE AWARD DATE OF THE PROJECT.
ITEM 53 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 ADDENDUM FORM NOT COMPLETE SUBS ARE COMPLETING 55 PERCENT OF THE WORK.
IF YOU DECIDE TO GO WITH ANY OF THESE THREE OPTIONS, THE CITY SPECIFIES THAT 51 PERCENT MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE PRIMARY CONTRACTOR, SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO KNOW.
VENDOR NOTED INSURANCE WOULD BE PROVIDED IF AWARDED THE CONTRACT, BUT IT WAS NOT PROVIDED IN THE BIG PACKAGE AND WHAT WAS REQUESTED.
THOSE ARE SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER.
AGAIN, BLS HAD SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS LIKE, DO YOU HAVE ENGINEERED DRAWINGS? WHERE ARE ALL OF THE UTILITIES? SUE, 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 A 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 MASTER PLAN OF FREEDOM PARK.
WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT 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 OUR ORGANIZATION AND THOSE FIELDS.
THEN WHEN WE MOVE INTO DESIGN, WE OBVIOUSLY INCLUDE THAT FACILITY AND DESIGN SO THAT IT IS PROPERLY ENGINEERED AND DESIGN, AND THAT WHEN WE GO TO CONSTRUCTION, THAT BE PART OF THE PROJECT.
WE DID TALK TO BRENT JENSEN HAS STEPPED DOWN FROM THE PRESIDENT POSITION AND WE ARE WORKING WITH STACY AND KEVIN.
>> YES. FORSTER. WE DID NOTIFY THEM OF OUR RECOMMENDATION.
THEY DO HAVE FUNDS THAT ARE NEARING AN EXPLORATION AS IT RELATES TO THEIR NON-PROFIT 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.
I THINK WHAT BRETON HAD INFORMED YOU ALL DAY, I THINK THEY HAVE AROUND 30-36,000 TO UTILIZE.
AS IT RELATES TO THESE WHICH ARE AGAIN, IS PRICING BASED OFF OF NON-ENGINEERED PLANS AT THIS POINT.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT THESE PRICES ARE BASED, THEY'RE MINIMUM AND THEY WILL LIKELY INCREASE.
AS YOU LOOK AT SLOPES AND DRAINAGE WHEN WE PUT A BUILDING IN THIS AREA, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THESE PRICES WILL INCREASE, SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE REJECT ALL BIDS, AND THEY GO TO THE BOARD AND REQUEST FUNDS BE SPENT ON A SEPARATE PROJECT.
>> THEY COULDN'T PULL APARTMENT WITHOUT ENGINEERING, AND THE LOCATION THEY WANTED I REMEMBER WHEN I WENT OUT THERE, AND THE FIRST IDEA THERE WAS UNDERGROUND UTILITIES AND WEIGH.
THE SECOND LOCATION, WAS AWAY FROM THINGS BUT THERE WAS LOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME SUBSTANTIALLY SWALES AND DRAINAGE.
BUT I AGREE, I DON'T WANT TO SEE WHATEVER COLOR BUILDING IT IS WHY ARE DOING A MASTER PLAN? WHY WOULD WE WANT TO PUT A LARGE CONICS BASICALLY WHEN WE'RE DOING GREAT THINGS AND YOU HAVE AN EYESORE FROM WHATEVER?
[01:05:01]
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WHETHER IT'S LIKE SAD OR OUR BIDS RENOVATIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE, FINDING SOME CONTINUITY WITH WHAT WE DO.WE DON'T NECESSARILY WANT ALL GREEN METAL ROOF BUILDINGS OR WHATEVER IT IS WE'RE DOING.
THEY NEED TO KNOW THE CONICS UNTIL THE BUILDING IS DOWN OR WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO DO, I GUESS, IT'S AN OPTION.
>> THAT'S WHAT WE DISCUSSED WITH THEM.
THEY ARE IN NEED OF NEW STORAGE SPACE.
WE TOLD THEM THAT WE WOULD WORK WITH, WE WOULD CALL FOR PRICING FOR CONICS BOXES, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN WORKING WITH THAT WITH OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STORAGE AS WELL AS OUR SERVICE CENTER STORAGE, SO WE HAVE SEVERAL CONTACTS FOR CONICS BOXES AND WE ALSO BUDGET $5,000 ANNUALLY FOR ALL OF OUR ASSOCIATIONS.
I STILL DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE SPENT THEIR FIVE THIS YEAR, DID THEY SPEND IT ON DIRT? THEY HAVE 1,500 LEFT, BUT AGAIN, THEY WILL BE BUDGETED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING YEAR, AND THEY COULD ALSO UTILIZE THE FUNDS THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE FOR CON AXES 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.
I SUPPORT YOUR RECOMMENDATION WHENEVER 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 GO FORWARD FROM THERE.
>> IF WE DO THIS AND REJECT THE BIDS AND WE SAY YES, IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE FINAL PLAN?
>> I FEEL COMMITTED THAT I'VE ALREADY SAID YES.
>> BUT THAT'S JUST ME. I'M ONLY ONE PERSON AND I DON'T MIND BEING IN THE MINORITY IF THAT'S HOW WHAT.
>> BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ONE OF THESE PLANS.
YEAH. I THINK THAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT, [OVERLAPPING] SO I WOULD AGREE.
>> THEY'RE GOING TO GET A BUILDING [OVERLAPPING].
>> THEY ARE GOING TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S SOME STORAGE ISSUES.
>> THEY NEED ADDITIONAL STORAGE THAT FIT.
>> YEAH. I'M SORRY, I MISUNDERSTOOD.
>> THAT FITS WITHIN, 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 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
[4. Discussion and possible action on Loop 274 median landscape plan for the Green Ribbon Project.]
BEING A PARENT OF A KID WHO'S IN LITTLE LEAGUE, SO IF WE CAN HOOK THEM UP WITH AIR, WITH BETTER CONICS SO THAT THEY DON'T GET RAINED ON AND DRIPPED IN AND ALL THAT STUFF HOPEFULLY 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 1, IT JUST MAKES SENSE THAT IT BE THERE, BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE PART OF THAT RENOVATION, PART 2, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO CALL IT THAT? I'M CERTAINLY COMMITTED THAT IT NEEDS TO BE THAT THEY NEED STORAGE.
>> I THINK WHAT WE'VE DONE HISTORICALLY FOR DECADES IS WHEN ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTES THEIR FUNDS, WE WORK WITH THEM ON, 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, HOW MUCH IS OUR SHARE? IT DOES SERVE A VERY SMALL GROUP OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT WE DO WANT TO HELP THEM.
BUT I MEAN, IT AT THE BUILDING CAME BACK 500,000, THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
>> WE'RE NOT RE-ENGINEERING [LAUGHTER]
>> WE DO HAVE A SAY ON IT TOO BECAUSE WE'RE CONTRIBUTING MAJORITY OF THE COWS, BUT WHAT WE HAVE IN THE PAST IF IT'S A CONTRIBUTION FROM ONE ASSOCIATIONS, I THINK WE STILL CAN HELP, BUT WE WANT TO KEEP A CAP ON HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO BE.
>> 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.
ANOTHER CONSIDERATION I BELIEVE WE'VE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS IS THAT THEY DO GIVE THE CITY MONEY KNOWING THAT
[01:10:02]
IT IS GOING TOWARDS THE STORAGE BUILDING AND WE HOLD ON TO THAT JUST LIKE WE DO OUR PARKLAND'S DEDICATION DUES IN A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT, SO WHEN THE TIME COMES, IT IS A CONTRIBUTION TO THAT.THAT WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM HAVING TO GO BACK TO THE BOARD AND RE-EVALUATE THAT, AND STILL CONTRIBUTE.
>> ACTUALLY WE NEED TO GET LEGAL OPINION ON THAT.
>> I THOUGHT MAYBE 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 WHAT DOES IT NEED TO LOOK LIKE, WHAT'S THE STRUCTURE, WHAT'S THE WHATEVER.
AS WE BUILD OUT THAT PARK, WE KNOW THAT'S IT'S ON THE CIP OR IT'S ANOTHER PART OF THAT PLAN.
IT'S A WAY TO MOVE IT FORWARD, I THINK.
ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE- I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE BIT OFF-TOPIC, YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS, ABOUT SHADING. [OVERLAPPING]
>> [INAUDIBLE] BUILDING, WE'RE THROWING IN SOME CARES MONEY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING TO YOU NEXT WEEK FOR SHADING.
LET'S THROW THAT ON TOP AND MAKE THE TAJ MAHAL OF SHADING.
>> 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.
>> WE CAN DO THAT IMMEDIATELY VERSUS SOME DOWN-THE-YEAR PLAN.
BUT MAYBE SPEND A LITTLE BIT MONEY OF THE DESIGN AND WIND STORM AND ALL THAT STUFF SO IT BECOMES A VIABLE PLAN ON THE SHELF, AND THEN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT COULD COST AND INCORPORATE INTO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
>> QUESTION TO [OVERLAPPING] YOU, CHRIS.
YOU ALL DO THIS ALL THE TIME, I DON'T.
THE PLAN THEN GETS ENGINEERED BY THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH NOW, WHICH IS [INAUDIBLE] , RIGHT?
>> [INAUDIBLE] , SORRY. [OVERLAPPING]
WE CAN GO WITH A DIFFERENT DESIGN COMPANY.
>> OKAY. WE SAID YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE DESIGN COSTS, BUT I AM ON BOARD THAT I DON'T WANT TO SPEND $500,000 OF MONEY FOR A STORAGE BUILDING.
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 [INAUDIBLE] $150,000.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S REASONABLE OR NOT, I HAVE NO IDEA. [OVERLAPPING]
>> BUT THAT'S JUST THE BUILDING. THAT'S NOT SITE WORK, THAT'S NOT UTILITY RUNS.
>> YOU KNOW BETTER. SEE, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SPEAKING UP.
BECAUSE [OVERLAPPING] DOES IT BECOME $200,000? DOES IT BECOME $250,000?
>> BUT I THINK WHAT [INAUDIBLE] CAN DO IS STICK IT ON THE MAP FOR US AND WE SAY, FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, IT GOES HERE AND WE'RE TAKING THAT SPACE.
>> THEN IN THE MEANTIME, WE CAN 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.
THEN GIVE US A PLAN THAT WE CAN BID OUT.
AS WE DEVELOP, AGAIN, FREEDOM PARK, WHEN WE SAY WE WANT THE WALKING TRAIL ON THE NORTH SIDE, AND WITH THE SQUASH [INAUDIBLE] ON THE SOUTH SIDE, AND WE WANT WHATEVER, THAT CAN BE JUST ANOTHER ELEMENT THAT GETS BID OUT AS AN ADD-ON.
WE CAN BID IT ALL OUT AND SAY IT'S WITHIN OUR BUDGET OR IT'S NOT OR IT GOES ON THE CIP.
IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS WE HAVE THAT WERE JUST SPITBALLED AT.
>> IT'S NOT HARD TO GET, WHETHER YOU GO TO MUELLER, GO TO WHIRLWIND, GO TO ANY NUMBER OF THESE METAL MANUFACTURERS.
THEY WILL ACTUALLY ENGINEER AND DESIGN IT AS PART OF THEIR PROCESS ON A METAL BUILDING.
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 A STONE LIKE WE HAVE AT LAKESIDE PARK, TWO FEET UP, THREE FEET UP? OR DO WE WANT A CERTAIN COLOR? I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT IN A PARK JUST SO IT GOES WITH IT.
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 I'VE USED OVER THE YEARS, BUT THEY'LL GIVE YOU A BID, AN ENGINEERING STAMP, EVERYTHING ON THE PROJECT.
[5. Discussion on litter prevention, beautification, and solid waste management updates.]
BUT THE OTHER THINGS INVOLVED, LIKE I SAID, THE SITE PLAN, THE DRAINAGE, THE UTILITIES, AND WHAT [INAUDIBLE] SUGGESTIONS MAY COME BACK AT,[01:15:01]
THAT'LL DRAFT THE COST UP TOO.>> GOT YOU. ONE OTHER QUESTION NOW.
NOW, WE'VE ALREADY GOT THE CONCESSION STAND THERE, AND IT IS THE WAY IT IS.
[OVERLAPPING] 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? [LAUGHTER]
>> WELL, ONE CONVERSATION WAS, AT LAKESIDE WE HAVE STONED 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 DO IT 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 WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A NEW BASKETBALL COURT PAVILION AT BATES PARK.
WE TALKED ABOUT CARRYING SOME CONTINUITY, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, COULD BE A COLOR, IT COULD BE STONE, IT COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF THINGS INTO THERE, SO WE'RE CARRYING A THEME EVERYWHERE, SAME SIGNAGE.
THE PARTICULAR SIGN WE WANTED, WE CARRY THE SIGNAGE THROUGH, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE HODGEPODGE OF THINGS.
>> FOR SURE. WE DON'T KIND OF, WE DO. [LAUGHTER]
>> AS WE SPEND MONEY TO UPDATE, WHY NOT USE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO START CREATING WHATEVER ANGLETON'S THING IS GOING TO BE.
>> BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE WILL BE SOME, LIKE GOING BACK, DO WE WANT TO GO TO THE SOCCER COMPLEX, ADD STONE THERE, ANYTHING, WE MIGHT 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 BUILDING IN THE NEW SECTION OF FREEDOM PARK WITH WHATEVER THEME OR WHATEVER WE HAVE, YOU MAY WANT TO UPGRADE THAT BUILDING, [OVERLAPPING] BUT LIKE WELCH PARK OR SOCCER MAY NOT NEED IT.
>> THAT'S MY OPINION. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WHAT I'M HEARING US SAY IS THAT WE'RE 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 $30,000 CONTRIBUTION.
AS I'VE HEARD US SAY, WE'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS, ONE THAT CHRIS SAID.
MAYBE IT GOES TOWARDS SOME OF THE [OVERLAPPING] DESIGN AND ENGINEERING, OR THAT, THROUGH 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 ALL RIGHT? [OVERLAPPING]
>> I THINK THAT'S VERY WELL SAID.
>> I GUESS THE TIME-SENSITIVE PART IS THEIR FUNDS.
>> YES. I DON'T QUITE FULLY UNDERSTAND THE DEADLINE TO USE FUNDS.
THEY SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THEIR NON-PROFIT 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 A STORAGE BUILDING, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE RE-ALLOCATED ELSEWHERE.
I CAN'T SPEAK TO THEIR DEADLINE AT THIS TIME AND WHAT THOSE CONSTRAINTS ARE, BUT I'M CONFIDENT WE CAN WORK OUT.
>> DOES IT GIVE YOU ENOUGH INFORMATION TO GO [OVERLAPPING] BACK AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS ON HOLD, BUT WE WANT TO HONOR AND SUPPORT?
>> YES, AND THAT CONGRUENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT.
WE LITERALLY HAD A PHONE CONVERSATION WITH THEM TODAY SO THAT THEY KNEW WHAT WE WERE PROPOSING.
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 OF THE MASTER PLAN. [OVERLAPPING].
>> TO NOT HAVE THEM HAVE TO GO BACK AND TO UTILIZE THE FUNDS THAT THEY HAVE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THEIR NON-PROFIT STATUS.
>> I THINK THAT THEY PROBABLY HAVE PRESENTED.
NOW THEY'VE GOT [OVERLAPPING] PROBABLY AN EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES AND YOU CAN'T JUST SIT THERE IN KEEP HOLDING IT.
>> THEY'RE A NON-PROFIT PROFIT. [OVERLAPPING]
>> SPEND IT OR YOU'RE GOING TO PAY TAX ON IT.
>> 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.
>> THAT'S GOOD. ANYTHING ELSE ON THE LITTLE LEAGUE? MOVING RIGHT ALONG. NUMBER 8, DISCUSSION IN [INAUDIBLE].
I'M JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE I SAW THE P. DISCUSSION ON PARK DIVISION UPDATES.
>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. I GUESS IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ONE OF THESE, SO WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT TO COVER HERE.
[01:20:02]
THE PARKS AND REC STAFF IS CURRENTLY WORKING WITH PD DEPARTMENT ABOUT GETTING A PARK NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAM SET UP TO MEET WITH OUR PARK VISITORS.THEY CAN REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES IN OUR PARKS IN THE EVEN HOURS OR DURING THE DAY.
WERE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY A JUNE 15TH DATE AT MASTERSON PARK, AND SETTING UP A MEETING, GET TOGETHER WITH OUR CITIZENS AND PD PROVIDING INFORMATION FOR THEM.
BASICALLY, HOPING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES RUNNING THE PROGRAM.
LOOK FOR THAT ON JUNE THE 15TH.
WE PARTNERED WITH [INAUDIBLE] FOR A GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM.
SHE BUILT THESE LITTLE LIBRARIES, YOU ALL HAVE PROBABLY SEEN THEM BEFORE.
WE INSTALLED THEM FOR BATES PARK AND FREEDOM PARK A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
I THINK I WENT BY THERE FRIDAY AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY BOOKS IN THEM YET.
>> IS SHE AWARE THAT IT'S READY TO STOCK?
>> YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL HER.
>> DID YOU FORGET? [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER].
>> BUT ANYWAY, SO WE GOT THAT COMPLETED FOR [OVERLAPPING] HELPING HER OUT.
FREEDOM PARK, EVERYBODY KNOWS, I THINK IT'S WELL AWARE THE SOLAR LIGHTS ARE UP AND RUNNING, IF YOU HADN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GO OUT AND CHECK THEM OUT.
>> FOR THE ABLC FOLKS AT THE COUNCIL MEETING, WE RECOGNIZED OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH TEXAS TXU BUT ALSO AGAIN, THE STAFF THAT DID IT.
THEY PICKED THE LIGHTS, THEY INSTALLED THEM.
WE HAD THE DREAMERS GROUP THAT FIGURED IT OUT AND THEN THEY JUST DO IT NIKEY GROUP THAT JUST DID IT [LAUGHTER] WE JUST WANTED TO THANK THEM AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT WITH COUNCIL MEETING FOR THEIR ACTION.
>> EXCELLENT. I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE.
[OVERLAPPING]. SO I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM.
>> I HAVEN'T EITHER. I AM UNDECIDED. YEAH.
SINCE WE LAST MET, WE'VE INSTALLED HAND-FREE DEVICES, HAND FREE SOAP DISPENSERS, HAND DRYERS IN ALL OUR PARKS.
THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE NOT WE'RE REVISITING THIS, THE BATES RESTROOM AND FREEDOM RESTROOM FOR THE FLUSH VOWELS ON THE TOILETS AND STUFF.
WE WERE ABLE TO INSTALL THEM AT SOCCER.
BUT THE TAP OF FLUSH VALVES THAT ARE AT THESE OTHER TWO RESTAURANT, 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 IS 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.
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 THAT SIDE OF THE PIPE CHASE.
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.
THEY'LL GET INSTALLED ONCE THE NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT IS PUT IN.
THEY'RE ADJACENT TO ALL OUR PLAYGROUND SO THEY CAN COME UP AND DO THEIR HAND SANITIZING BEFORE AND AFTER THEY GET OFF THE PLAYGROUNDS.
THE GAZEBO, IF YOU HADN'T NOTICED, IS GONE.
WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE THAT DOWN AND IT'S BIG THANK YOU TO PUBLIC WORKS BECAUSE IF IT WASN'T FOR THEM, WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE THAT THEY HELPED US OUT BIG TIME ON THAT.
>> DID YOU FIND SOMEONE TO ACCEPT THE MONUMENTS THAT WERE THERE, PLAQUES, THAT KIND OF MONUMENT WHEN THERE ARE RETRO AND SOME KIND OF MONUMENT.
>> I MEAN DID YOU TAKE THEM OR DID YOU STORE.
>> WE TOOK THEM OUT. WE'VE GOT THE OVER IN STORAGE, SO WHENEVER WE DECIDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THERE, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE, RE-INSTALL THEM.
>> WE'VE RE-ESTABLISHED ELECTRICITY RIGHT THERE AT A GAZEBO.
[01:25:03]
WE HAD TO DISCONNECT ALL THE POWER TO GET IT OUT.WE RE-ESTABLISH POWER THERE SO WE CAN HAVE CONCERT IN THE PARK.
THE BAND WILL HAVE PASS AND WE GET BACK.
>> IS THAT WHAT'S GOING TO BE? I WAS WONDERING.
>> FORMAL STAGE FOR THE TEMPORARY.
>> AT BATES PARK, WE REPAINT THIS AND REPAINTING ON A LAMPPOST, REPAINTING SOME OF THE LETTINGS ON THE STANDS, ON THE PARK SIGNS AND POWER WASH TEAM, REPLACE SOME BOARDS ON THE STEPS TO THE SCORES TABLES ON THE SOFTBALL FIELDS, REPAIR SOME ELECTRICAL BOXES AND REPLACE THREE BASKETBALL RIMS AND WE DID THAT LAST WEEK.
WE HAVE METER, WE HAVE SCHEDULED THE DEGREE STRAP THE PARKING LOT AT BAYESIAN DICKEY.
CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING ON THE NEW VOLLEYBALL COURT, SAME VOLLEYBALL COURT AT DICKEY WOULD BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE THE ONLY ONE BUT SETTING IS GOING TO BE A PLAYGROUND, SO WE'RE IN A PROCESS OF RELOCATING THAT.
THE BG PECTORA COMPLEX WILL TODAY, THEY SHOULD BE FINISHED MAYBE IF NOT, THEY'LL BE BACK IN THE MORNING, BUT THEY HAVE RESTRICTED THE PARKING LOT, BOTH PARKING LOTS.
I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED OVERLAP PROJECT, THE VENDOR BROUGHT A DEMO-LIGHT TO US TO TRY IT OUT.
THEY ENDED UP GIVING IT TO US AND SO WE SET THAT LIGHT AT THE ENTRANCE GATE TO THE SOCCER COMPLEX.
WHEN THEY'RE COMING AND GOING THROUGH THE GATE, OPEN THE GATE, THEY HAVE SOME LIGHT.
>> YEAH. [OVERLAPPING] THEY'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT.
>> ALSO FRIDAY, I RECEIVED A QUOTE FOR LIGHTING THE PARKING LOT, BOTH PARKING LOTS.
I'M GOING TO HAVE HIM DO SOME STUFF, ADD SOME STUFF CHANGE SOME STUFF.
I DON'T THINK HE HAS ENOUGH PERIMETER LIGHTS.
I'M GOING TO HAVE HIM ADD SOME OF THOSE PLUS SPLIT IT UP BETWEEN THE THE MAIN PARKING LOT AND OUR AUXILIARY 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 FIELD.
THEY HAVE BROUGHT UP ABOUT LIGHTING THAT BACK THE NORTHWEST CORNER FIELD, BUT NOTHING ABOUT IN.
>> YEAH. I HAVE FOUND IT A GOOD IDEA TO DO THAT.
>> YEAH. TO THE EAST OF THE OF THE PAVILION.
>> BETWEEN THE FIRE FIELD AND THE PAVILION, THOSE WERE THE SMALLER.
>> LIKE FIELDS ARE AND JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHTS OVER THERE.
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 LIKE FOR FIELD LIGHTING OR JUST OR JUST [OVERLAPPING].
>> WAS IS, ANY LIGHTING IS ACTUALLY HELPFUL.
IF YOU PUT THEM RIGHT OFF THE EAST SIDE OF THE PAVILION, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY LIGHT UP THE SMALLER FIELDS A LITTLE BIT.
IT WOULD BE A DOUBLE WIN THERE.
HAVE SOME LIGHTING FOR THE PAVILION AND SO THAT SOME OF THE KIDS HAVE A LITTLE BIT LONGER PRACTICE TIME.
>> ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ELECTRIC LIGHTS ON THE PAVILION OR SOLAR?
>> SHOULD YOU GET POWER ON THE PAVILION WOULD IT NOT BE MORE BENEFICIAL BECAUSE YOU'D HAVE MORE LUMEN, SOME ARE [INAUDIBLE] MORE MONEY FOR THAT.
>> THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT THINGS YOU GOT TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU START A LIGHT IN THESE FIELDS, YOU GOT IT.
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 [OVERLAPPING].
>> THIS WOULD BE FOR LIKE LITTLE PRACTICE FOR THAT.
>> RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT SAYING FOR GAMES OR THINGS LIKE THAT. YEAH. I THINK.
>> THAT'S WHAT THE BIG FIELDS ARE FOR.
>> THEY DON'T LOSE THEIR LITTLE KIDS OUT THERE WHO WOULD JUST TRY AND [OVERLAPPING].
>> JUST SO THEY CAN PRACTICE A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
>> I CAN LOOK, DEFINITELY DO THAT.
I MEAN, ACTUALLY YOU COULD PROBABLY USE THE SAME LIGHTS, YOU USED DOWN AT FREEDOM AND WE ALREADY KNOW HOW MUCH THOSE [OVERLAPPING].
>> RIGHT, BECAUSE SOME PARENTS ACTUALLY WILL PUT THEIR CARS AT THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THEY JUST SHINE THEM OUT THERE.
>> ON THE ONES THAT YOU WOULD PUT ON THERE, WOULD THEY JUST BE ACTIVATED BY DUSK OR WOULD YOU HAVE A MOTION-ACTIVATED IT?
>> YOU CAN PUT THE LIGHT SOMEWHERE AND RUN A REMOTE SENSOR FOR THAT MOTION ELSEWHERE?
>> EACH LIGHT HAS THEIR OWN SENSORS.
>> LIKE IF IT'S UP ON THE EVE OF THE BUILDING, LIKE WHAT JOHN WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT.
[01:30:01]
ARE THAT SENSORS SENSITIVE ENOUGH TO GET SOMEBODY 15 FEET AWAY AND THEY, [OVERLAPPING].>> WHILE [INAUDIBLE] WHEN THEY HAVE LIGHTS AROUND THE PAVILION AND WHAT JOHN IS TALKING ABOUT IS ACTUALLY CLOSER TO THE FIELD.
>> YEAH. THEY WILL SERVE FOR BOTH PURPOSES FOR SECURITY.
IT'S MOSTLY FOR SECURITY, BUT THE SECURITY LIGHTS CAN BE USED FOR WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
>> YEAH BECAUSE I MEAN, THEY HAVE LIGHTS AROUND.
>> I THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT RUNNING SOME LIGHTS FROM THE PAVILION DOWN THAT WAY, BUT [OVERLAPPING].
>> I ACTUALLY WOULD DEFER TO DUST AND PURPOSE TO SHOW ME [OVERLAPPING].
>> THIS IS MY COMMENTS AND DISCUSSIONS WITH DOWN BY GATE WITH [OVERLAPPING].
>> HE'LL SHOW ME WHAT HE WANTS.
>> YEAH, AND HE DOES IT QUITE CAPABLE.
>> YEAH. HE'S VERY EASY TO WORK WITH.
>> WHILE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SOCCER COMPLEX, THAT WAS AT OUR PARKS BOARD MEETING WITH OUR ASSOCIATIONS, THEIR NUMBER ONE ISSUE WAS, PHILL, WHAT DID WE EVER COME UP WITH ON THAT?
>> I HAD A GUY COME OUT WITH TEXAS MULTI-CAM AND HE CAME OUT, TOOK A LOOK AT THE FIELDS AND HE NOTICED FROM MARY'S THAT DID NEED SOME ATTENTION, LOW-LYING AREAS.
WHAT HE'S SUGGESTING IS TO THE GOING IN THERE AND LASER SHOOTING AND RECAPPING ALL THOSE BECAUSE HE'S TALKING ABOUT $2 A SQUARE FOOT.
WHEN YOU START ADDING IT UP, IT GETS VERY EXPENSIVE.
HE'S TALKING POST BECOMING IN HERE AND GETTING SOME SELECT FIELD TOPSOIL AND HIM COMING IN THERE AND FILLING IN A LOW-SPOTS AND THEN GRADUALLY JUST TAPERING THE FIELDS.
HE CAN DO ONE FIELD FOR I THINK HE WAS SAYING $1500 TO COME IN AND DO THAT.
BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO SUPPLY THE DIRT AND PAY FOR THE DIRT.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT 80 YARDS PER FIELD DIRT TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO.
WE WOULD HAVE TO POSSIBLY RAISE UP SOME OF THE SPRINKLER HEADS TO ACCOMMODATE THE RISE IN THE SURFACE.
>> WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS WITH ASSOCIATIONS THAT WAS [OVERLAPPING] AN ONGOING THING AND IT HAS BEEN FINISHED.
>> WELL, AND ONE MORE THING TOO, ONCE YOU START SHADING THAT WATER OFF, YOU GOT TO HAVE A PLACE FOR IT TO GO.
>> A DITCH. WHERE DOES THAT LITTLE DITCH GO?
>> I THINK EVERYTHING DRAINS NORTH.
>> FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, WELL, I SAY THERE EVERYTHING.
I GUESS FROM THE PAVILION NORTH, GOES THAT DIRECTION AND THOSE SOUTH FIELDS NEXT TO THE DUMPSTER, I THINK THEY GO OUT SOUTH DOWN THERE.
>> YEAH. THEY RUN PARALLEL TO THE OUTGOING RAIL.
THERE'S A DITCH AND I THINK THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM, THE PROPERTY DOESN'T GO THAT WAY, BUT THE WAY TO GET IT OUT WAS SUPPOSEDLY [OVERLAPPING].
>> THAT MAYBE RIGHT, IT COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG. I MEAN, I HAVEN'T.
>> I KNOW THE MIDDLE FIELDS HOLD WATER ON THE WEST SIDE AND I KNOW THAT ON THE EAST SIDE THAT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ANYWHERE TO DRAIN.
>> IT KINDS OF HANGS AROUND OVER THERE.
>> YOU KNOW, HE WAS SHOWN, WHERE THE SMALL FIELDS ARE AT, YOU WOULD TREAT THAT AS ONE BIG FIELD.
THAT WAY, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO CUT ANY MORE DITCHES.
YOU WOULD JUST CREATE [OVERLAPPING] ONE SLOPE FOR THE WHOLE AREA.
BUT I MEAN, IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY PUT IT IN OUR BUDGET AND SEE HOW IT GOES.
YOU DO ONE FIELD A YEAR? I MEAN, IT COULD BE DOABLE.
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE RESCUE ALTHOUGH I HAVE A SON IN SOCCER AND HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE DOING THE SOCCER ASSOCIATION AND WE RECENTLY HAD TO GO TO BASE CITY.
WE GOT TO LAY JACKSON AND PLAY TOO.
IT NEEDS SOME TLC AND NEED SOME UPKEEP.
BUT OVERALL, I WOULD PUT OURS UP AGAINST ANY OF THE OTHER ONES.
JUST THE AMENITIES THAT WE HAVE IN THE KIDS, THE PLAYGROUNDS FOR THE KIDS THAT ARE NOT PLAYING, FOR THE DIRECT PAVILION, SO IN SHADE OR FOR RAIN OR SOMETHING, THEY CAN GET UP UNDERNEATH THERE.
IT'S BETTER THAN THE ONE IN BASE CITY AND IT'S DEFINITELY BETTER ONE THAN THE ONE IN JACKSON.
WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP THAT GOING.
>> KEEP IT UP, YEAH. GOT TO MAINTAIN IT.
>> YEAH, THAT'S GOOD. KEEP MAINTAINED.
>> ACTUALLY, THEY ALSO NEED TO CHANGE STRUCTURE AROUND THEIR FIELDS TOO.
>> I MEAN, THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY DON'T PLAY AT NIGHT.
>> RIGHT. IT'S ALL DURING THE DAY AND A DAY.
>> THEY'RE PLAYING DURING THE DAY. THEY DO NEED STRICT [INAUDIBLE]
>> 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 REALLY NOT ENOUGH OF THEM THERE.
I WISH THERE WERE MORE. I VOLUNTEER FOR
[01:35:05]
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAMS FOR BATES SINCE I BORDER BATES AND I WATCHED THAT PLAYS LIKE A HAWK ANYWAYS.I MIGHT AS WELL GET CREDIT FOR IT.
>> COULD GIVE A LITTLE BLUE [OVERLAPPING].
>> GIVE HIM A LITTLE HAT, A LITTLE BADGE.
>> I'M GOING TO DRIVE THE TRACTOR TO THERE, AT 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT [OVERLAPPING].
>> GIVE HIM A HAT AS A PART PATROL.
>> THERE WE GO. YOU CAN HAVE A LITTLE BADGE AND A POCKET WATCH.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. STEWART? AWESOME. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.
WE WOULD RIDE ALONG DRAINAGE, NUMBER NINE DISCUSSION REGARDING DRAINAGE UPDATE.
CHRIS, IS THAT YOU? SHOULD BE SHORT AND SWEET, RIGHT?
>> JUST BECAUSE WE'RE ALL LOOKING AT THE CLOUD.
>> MY NAME IS NOT JEFF [INAUDIBLE].
ONE IS THE HENDERSON COVERT REPLACING THEIR PROJECT IN CONJUNCTION WITH WINDROWS GREEN AND CONQUERS DEVELOPMENT.
THE UPDATE IS ABOUT THREE WEEKS FROM BEING COMPLETE.
>> THEN THE SECOND UPDATE ON DRAINAGE IS THE WASTE-WATER TREATMENT PLANT.
LEVY IMPROVEMENT IN THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ANGLES AND 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.
PUSH IT UP ON THE LEVY AND THEN WE'LL PUT THE FENCE BACK IN.
THE ONLY OTHER PROJECT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT WOULD BE THE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS TO RAISE THE ROAD TO BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LEVY TO PREVENT WATER FROM IN THERE?
>> I KNOW YOU'RE NOT JEFF BUT CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE WATER WELL AND FREEDOM PARK?
>> RIGHT NOW, IT'S SEGMENTS BEEN JUST SITTING THERE.
>> WHAT IS A POSSIBILITY, I KNOW WE'VE BROUGHT IT UP WITH [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT UTILIZING THAT WATER TO FILL UP THE DUPONT OR DO SOMETHING.
IS THAT AN OPTION? I HADN'T REALLY HEARD OFFICIAL OPINION ON IT.
>> RIGHT NOW, NO. I MEAN, WE CAN LOOK AT POTENTIALLY CONNECTING IT.
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY EXPENSIVE WATER BECAUSE IT'S THE ARSENIC WATER AND WE'RE GOING TO SPEND $200 THOUSAND EVERY THREE YEARS TO REPLACE THE MEMBRANES.
>> THE FISH IN THERE LIKE WOULDN'T CARE THERE'S ARSENIC IN IT.
I MEAN, YOU COULD THEORETICALLY FLESH OUT YOUR ARSENIC BY PUTTING IT INTO A POND.
>> AGAIN, WE HAVEN'T EXPLORED THAT AND I HAVE TO GET WHAT THE REAL JEFF [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING].
>> THAT'S AN IDEA. OKAY. I LIKE IT.
HE HAD SOME KIND OF SAYING SOMETHING BEFORE CHRIS.
>> YEAH. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE. MOVING ON.
NUMBER 10, UNDER THE FINANCE TAB, DISCUSSION ON THE ABLC AND RECREATION YEAR-TO-DATE FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF MARCH 2021.
>> GOOD EVENING. [OVERLAPPING]. THE OTHER CHRIS.
IT'S GREAT TO SEE SOME OTHER ACCOUNTANTS AND DETAIL PEOPLE ON THE BOARD.
I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO SEE THINGS VERY SIMILARLY.
I'VE BEEN A CPA PROFIT FOR OVER 25 YEARS.
BEEN DOING THIS [INAUDIBLE] WORK FOR 10 YEARS.
THE LAST CITY I WAS AT WAS CITY ROGERS, A SMALL CITY.
I LOOK AT THINGS FROM INTERNAL CUSTOMER BASIS.
YOU'RE MY CUSTOMERS, SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING MORE OR LESS, TELL ME ONCE YOU WANT TO SEE AND I'LL TRY TO GET IT HERE NEXT TIME.
OVERALL, THIS IS JUST THROUGH MARCH.
THERE'S A LOT OF PRELIMINARY NUMBERS HERE.
WE KNOW SALES TAXES ARE TWO MONTHS BEHIND THE REG REVENUE.
HAS BEEN DOWN BECAUSE OF COVID-19, BUT IT'S COMING BACK.
WE THINK THE ACTIVITIES ARE GOING TO BE INCREASING FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.
BUT THE EXPENSES ARE LOWER THAN BUDGET 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.
THAT WAS DELAYED FOR A SINGLE AUDIT FOR FEDERAL FUNDS THAT'S NOT RELATED TO THIS MEETING, BUT IT IS DONE NOW.
WE PLAN TO GET IT APPROVED AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.
THEN AT THAT POINT WE'LL MAKE THE TRANSVERSE.
THE TRANSVERSE HADN'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 LASHES 888,000.
THE REG 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]
AND THAT THE 301 WAS PROBABLY BEFORE FOR THE DEFICIT FROM LAST YEAR.BUT IT'S 270, IS WHAT THAT NUMBER IS.
THAT'S THE SUMMARY. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> THE PAGE UNDER ITEM 10, WHAT IS ABLC, FSB, LOUISE?
>> THAT'S THE FIRST STATE BANK OF LOUISE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WHY DO WE HAVE OUR MONEY IN THE FIRST STATE BANK OF LOUISE?
>> THAT'S THE ANGLETON BRANCH.
>> [BACKGROUND] THAT'S THE ANGLETON BRANCH. BUT THAT'S FIRST STATE BANK.
>> OKAY, WHERE IS THE PHYSICAL BANK THAT WE'RE [OVERLAPPING].
>> DISTORT THE DARKER [OVERLAPPING].
>> ARE JUST NORTH OF IT, RIGHT?
>> THEY USED TO BE COMMERCIAL STATE BANK.
>> YEAH COMMERCIAL STATE BANK.
>> OKAY. LOUISE. OKAY. I JUST WAS LIKE WHAT IS THAT? OKAY. GOT IT. [LAUGHTER]
>> CHRIS, YOU WERE SAYING ON PAGE 10 THAT THE, NO I'M SORRY.
>> IT'S ALL OUT IN 10, BUT THE BOTTOM.
[OVERLAPPING] THAT'S PAGE 138 TO 152.
>> GOT YOU, PAGE 142, 318 IS BEFORE.
THAT'S ON THE ARTICLE [OVERLAPPING] 10 ACTIVITIES THAT ARE SO THE 318 IS PRIOR TO SOME ADJUSTMENT. [OVERLAPPING].
IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT PAGE, 143, [OVERLAPPING] YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS ARTERY SUBCOMMITTEE OF US THERE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE.
THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE A DEFICIT DOWN [OVERLAPPING] AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IT SHOWS THAT 270 NUMBERS, THE REAL AND THE REAL EQUITY.
>> OKAY. GOT YOU. THAT'S WHY JERRY, YOU WERE SAYING EARLIER THAT THE COMMITMENT OF THE ROOF AND THE DOORS, AND THEN THE SLIDE ARE GOING TO BE AN EXCESS OF THE REMAINING FUND BALANCE.
BUT YOU'RE USING SOMETHING ELSE. WHAT WAS IT?
>> WE'LL BE USING OUR EXISTING POOL MAINTENANCE BUDGET.
>> WHICH WILL LEAVE US A BALANCE OF PROBABLY A LITTLE MORE THAN ABOUT 5,000 IN OUR POOL MAINTENANCE, BUT WE HAVE ABOUT 32 AS WELL UNACCOUNTED FOR IN OUR BUILDING MAINTENANCE.
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.
>> ON PAGE 145, WHERE WE TALK ABOUT REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY A TIMING ISSUE, RIGHT? THE EXPENDITURES OF 613,000 VERSUS THE REVENUE OF 98.
THAT'S JUST BECAUSE SOME OF THE COSTS YOU'VE ALREADY INCURRED, YOU'VE ALREADY PAID OUT. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE HAVEN'T BOOKED THE TRANSFERS IS A BIG THING THERE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING. HOW FUNNY BOOKING THOSE TRANSFERS YOU DO IN THE MID-YEAR AND THEN A YEAR-END OR YOU DO IT MORE OFTEN THAN THAT?
>> WELL, THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE MID-YEAR BECAUSE WE WERE WAITING ON THE AUDIT TO BE FINALIZED.
WE WILL DO IT SOONER, PROBABLY EVERY QUARTER GOING FORWARD.
>> 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 FROM COVID-19 THAT ACTUALLY PUT US OVER THE $750,000 FOR THE CITY WHICH CALLS SINGLE AUDIT.
WE ACTUALLY HAD TO AUDIT FEDERAL FUNDS THEMSELVES.
IT WAS AN AUDIT ON TOP OF THE AUDIT, AND THAT'S WHAT DELAYED IT.
>> WELL, I GUESS IF YOU GET $750,000 FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THOUGH, YOU'LL DO A [OVERLAPPING] SEPARATE AUDIT.
>> IT'S A GOOD THING TO DO THESE EXTRA AUDITS [OVERLAPPING] BECAUSE [LAUGHTER].
>> 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 OUR KEY TO HOW WE'RE PLANNING AND WE'RE GOING TO GO FOR OUR NEXT IF WE'RE GOING TO DO FREEDOM PART PHASE TWO OR WHATEVER,
[01:45:01]
HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT.BECAUSE AS A CPA, YOU UNDERSTAND THIS BUT I'LL GIVE APPROPRIATE RECOGNITION.
AT THE LAST MEETING THAT SUZY 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. [OVERLAPPING].
>> TO KEEP THE DETAILS BECAUSE WE DON'T DEAL WITH IT EVERY DAY.
IF YOU WOULD, THAT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT BECAUSE IT'S SO EASY TO JUST LOOK AND GO, OKAY, HERE'S THE SCHEDULE VERSUS TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT THEY'RE FOR BECAUSE WE DID SOME RE-FINANCING ON THESE THINGS.
IF THIS COULD BE PART OF IT, WE SHOULD APPRECIATE IT AND I APPRECIATE BEING HERE.
>> YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE'S MORE DESCRIPTION AT THE BOTTOM TO TELL YOU WHAT THOSE BONDS [OVERLAPPING] ARE FOR.
THAT PART WASN'T PROBABLY THERE THE LAST TIME YOU SAW IT.
>> LIKE YOU SAID, WE'VE ALREADY MADE THE LAST DEBT SERVICE.
THE 625,000 ARE GOING TO BE PAID, RIGHT?
>> YES, THE ONES FOR THIS YEAR [OVERLAPPING].
>> THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID [OVERLAPPING].
>> THE PRINCIPAL HAS BEEN PAID FOR THIS YEAR. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE HAVE TWO LEFT ON THE 2013.
>> RIGHT. IF HAVE LEFT ON THE 2018 OR [OVERLAPPING] 2016.
[NOISE] [BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER]
>> WE ARE PUTTING PROJECTS FOR SEPTEMBER.
>> I SEE YOU WANT TO HEAR ALL THE PROJECTS.
I KNOW THIS MONEY IS GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE.
[BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER] I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
>> [LAUGHTER] THEIR BABY AESTHETIC, THEIR JOB. [LAUGHTER]
>> DON'T TELL ME THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE IN STUDIES BECAUSE I KNOW THE STUDIES COME UP ALL THE TIME.
>> I PROMISE THIS IS THE LAST ONE I'M ASKING, BUT ON PAGE 147, THE CONTINGENCY OF 54,107.
SOME REASON I HAVE THAT IN MY HEAD THAT WE HAD THAT CONTINGENCY LAST YEAR.
I'M WONDERING WHY IT'S BACK IN CURRENT YEAR BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR.
IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO TELL ME LATER BECAUSE I REALIZED THIS WAS ON A BUDGET THAT WE PASSED LAST TIME AND MAYBE I JUST DON'T REMEMBER. [NOISE].
>> THAT LAST COLUMN IS THE APPROVED BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR.
WHETHER WE SPENT IT OUT LAST YEAR OR IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, THERE'S 54,107 CONTENTS. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE QUESTION IS, WHAT IS IT?
>> IT'S FOR THINGS THAT WEREN'T PLANNED FOR IT. [OVERLAPPING].
YOU WEREN'T HERE WHEN WE PASS IT, BUT I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE CAME UP WITH THAT PARTICULAR NUMBER, BUT IT'S [LAUGHTER] NOT ALLOCATED ANY SPECIFIC PROJECT AT THE TIME OF THE BUDGET.
>> YOU WOULD THINK IT'D BE LIKE 55 OR 56, BUT [OVERLAPPING].
>> I'M SITTING HERE AND I'M THINKING, DID WE HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND? I MEAN, IT'S SUCH A. [OVERLAPPING].
>> IT'S A PLUG NUMBER WHICH IS THE BALANCE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> IT'S PROBABLY THE NUMBER THAT BALANCED IT.
[OVERLAPPING] BUT BASED ON THE INCOME PROJECTIONS, MY EXPENSES.
>> OKAY. WE HAD THAT WORD BEFORE, THE BALANCING NUMBER. OKAY.
>> I'M GOING TO WRITE IT DOWN SO I WON'T ASK IT AGAIN. [OVERLAPPING].
>> IT SHOULD BE MORE ROUNDED NEXT YEAR.
I LIKE THE 55,000. [LAUGHTER].
>> ALRIGHT. ANY FINAL QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS TWO POINT O?
>> HEARING NONE. WE'RE TO THAT PART OF THAT MEETING WHERE WE LIKE TO HEAR THE WORD ADJOURNMENT AT 7.21.
THANK YOU, GUYS. [NOISE]
