[2. Discussion and possible action on the Angleton Better Living Corporation, Recreation division, and Angleton Recreation Center division YTD financial statements as of October 31, 2023.]

YEAR TO DATE. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31ST, 2023.

OKAY. GOOD EVENING.

THE ANGLETON BETTER LIVING CORPORATION ENDED HAS A FUND BALANCE AS OF OCTOBER 31ST OF $337,966.

THAT IS THE PRELIMINARY NUMBER.

THE FUND BALANCE WILL BE CHANGING BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT MEETING, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE NOVEMBER SALES TAX THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS TOTAL.

AND AS WELL AS THE TRANSFER THAT THE THIS BOARD HAS ASKED US TO MAKE FROM THE RECREATION CENTER TO THE BETTER LIVING CORPORATION AS AFTER WE CLOSE OUT THE YEAR.

THE RECREATION DIVISION ENDED THE MONTH WITH A FUND BALANCE OF $58,107, AND THE RECREATION CENTER HAS A FUND BALANCE OF $307,365.

ALSO OF NOTE IS THAT THERE ARE SOME FINAL.

THERE CAN BE SOME YEAR END ENTRIES THAT WILL AFFECT THESE FUND BALANCES.

YEAR END FOR SEPTEMBER 30TH.

BUT SO THIS IS THE BEST I CAN GIVE YOU RIGHT NOW.

AND I'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE YEAR END ITEMS THAT YOU'RE EXPECTING TO COME IN? FOR EXAMPLE, WE WILL HAVE TO DO AN ACCRUAL FOR PAYROLL THAT HASN'T BEEN POSTED YET.

ANY EXPENSES THAT CAME IN THAT IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER THAT WE HAVEN'T TAKEN CARE OF, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR.

THOSE KIND OF THINGS AS WELL AS THE SALES TAX, LIKE I TOLD YOU.

WERE YOU ESTIMATING TO FINISH? WHAT ARE WE TALKING? GIVE ME A BALLPARK. 100,000.

200,000. FOR WHICH ONE? HOW MUCH ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE? THE REC CENTER, NOT THE REC CENTER.

THE ABLC DOWN FROM FROM ABLC WILL BE INCREASING.

INCREASING? YOU'RE TAKING MONEY FROM THE EVEN AFTER THE YEAR END ENTRIES? YES, BECAUSE WE HAD ONE OF THE YEAR END ENTRIES WILL BE TO ADD THE NOVEMBER SALES TAX INTO SEPTEMBER 30TH FUND BALANCE.

THEN WE MAKE THE TRANSFER FROM THE RECREATION CENTER TO THE.

A DLC.

OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? IT'S JUST HARD TO GET AN IDEA WHEN THERE'S STILL MORE THINGS COMING THROUGH.

I DID SEE THAT THE SALES TAX CAME THROUGH AND IT WAS UP SLIGHTLY, RIGHT? IT WAS. IT WAS JUST SLIGHTLY OVER.

SO FOR THE YEAR WE'RE AT 77% YEAR OVER YEAR.

YES. AND WHAT DID WE BUDGET DO YOU REMEMBER FOR SALES TAX.

[00:05:05]

EIGHT. SO WE'RE RIGHT THERE.

IT'S GOOD.

JUMP ON IN WHEN YOU HAVE A QUESTION.

ALL RIGHT. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

DO YOU NEED ANY ACTION ON THIS? DO YOU NEED US TO ADOPT ANYTHING OR.

SINCE IT'S STILL PRELIMINARY.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING TO ITEM NUMBER THREE.

HOLD ON. GO AHEAD. MY QUICK QUESTION WILL BE BASED ON THESE NUMBERS, OBVIOUSLY, AS JOHN SAID, KIND OF A FLOATING FIGURE RIGHT NOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT PUTS US? I MEAN, ARE WE IN A HEALTHY POSITION? ARE WE? I THINK WE'RE DEFINITELY IN A HEALTHY POSITION.

AS PHIL MENTIONED, THE REC CENTER FUND BALANCE IS ALREADY I MEAN, WE'RE AT 300,000, SO YOU'RE MINIMALLY GOING TO HAVE $200,000 TRANSFER BASED ON WHERE WE ENDED AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, EVEN THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR ELC.

WE DID NOT EXPENSE ALL OF OUR ITEMS FOR EVEN OUR PROJECT CONTINGENCY.

SO THAT'S A SAVINGS.

YOU HAVE COMMITTED SOME PROJECTS THAT WILL FALL OVER INTO THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR, BUT THEY'RE MINIMAL.

SOME OF THEM ARE NULL AND VOID, AND WE'LL GET INTO THAT IN A MINUTE.

FOR INSTANCE, THE $20,000 FOR THE TEX-DOT TRAILS MASTER PLAN, WE WERE NOT GRANTED THAT.

SO THAT'S NOT AN EXPENDITURE.

YOU'LL SEE. WE'LL HAVE TO ABSORB.

HOWEVER, THE DOWNING TENNIS COURTS WERE FINALIZED IN OCTOBER INSTEAD OF SEPTEMBER, SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT HIT AND HIT LAST FISCAL YEAR.

SO IT'S A SAVINGS AND PARKS CONTINGENCY PROJECT FUNDS.

BUT IT'S GOING TO HIT YOUR YOUR ACCOUNT THIS YEAR.

AND THEN LIKE PHIL MENTIONED WE ALREADY HAVE WHAT WAS THE AMOUNT FOR A FUND BALANCE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NOVEMBER.

WE'RE IN 87. RIGHT.

SO YOU'RE AT 337,000 TRANSFER OF 200,000.

AND THEN WE HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED ABOUT WHATEVER OUR OUR SALES TAX IS FOR THE FOLLOWING MONTH.

SO AGAIN I FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN A GOOD POSITION.

THAT'S REALLY HOW WE DESIGNED IT LAST FISCAL YEAR, WHEN THEY ADOPTED THE BUDGET AS A FLAT BUDGET AND AN 8% INCREASE INSTEAD OF WHAT WAS DONE IN THE YEAR PRIOR.

SO I THINK IT WAS A SMART DECISION.

IT HELPED BUILD YOUR FUND BALANCE, WHICH AGAIN, IS GOING TO HELP WITH FUTURE PROJECTS OR FUTURE DEBT CAPACITY.

DO WE HAVE IS, I GUESS FOR THE NEXT MEETING, SOMEONE'S GOING TO SAY, OKAY, HERE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT YOU HAD IN THE FISCAL YEAR BUDGET THAT DIDN'T GET PERFORMED AND WHAT'S COMMITTED TO NEXT YEARS? IT'D BE NICE TO SEE A TRACKING OF THAT, JUST SO WE ALL UNDERSTAND.

SURE. AND I KNOW WE HAD THAT AT ONE TIME.

WE CAN BRING THAT BACK. I'LL WORK WITH PHIL ON DEVELOPING THAT SO THAT YOU CAN SEE IT IN A, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT'S BUDGETED, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN SPENT OR X NUMBER OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SPENT TODAY, FOR INSTANCE, THAT ONE THAT YOU GUYS APPROVED BUT IS NOT COMPLETE IS THE FREEDOM PARK PASSIVE DESIGN.

AND SO WE'RE ON TASK NUMBER THREE.

THEY'RE NOT DONE WITH THAT. SO WE'LL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS.

THAT WAS A BUDGET OF AROUND $64,000.

WE'RE ABOUT 30,000 INTO THAT.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO HIT THAT THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR AS WELL.

BUT REALLY THAT PROJECT OUTSIDE OF I MEAN WE ALREADY CUT THE CHECK FOR NEW TENNIS COURTS.

OUTSIDE OF THAT, THAT'S YOUR ONLY OTHER PENDING PROJECT.

WELL, I SAY THAT MY APOLOGIES.

BIG PET SOCCER COMPLEX, PARKING LOT LIGHTING.

WE HAVE ARPA FUNDS, BUT THE THE REMAINING AMOUNT THAT WE NEEDED COMMITTED TO THAT THIS PAST YEAR AND THAT HAS NOT OCCURRED YET.

SO THAT'S GOING TO HIT AS WELL.

I THINK IT'S AROUND $33,000.

YEAH. I JUST DON'T WANT THE BOARD TO SIT HERE AND THINK, OH, WELL, WE JUST PUT ALL THIS MONEY INTO THE CONTINGENCY OR INTO THE FUND BALANCE.

BUT SOME OF THAT'S GOING TO STILL BE COMMITTED.

SO. RIGHT. AND THEY ALL UNDERSTAND THAT AND WE WILL.

AND ONE OF THESE FUTURE ITEMS ACTUALLY YOUR PROJECTS THAT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING, WE NOTE THAT WE'VE BOLDED, HEY, YOU'VE ALREADY COMMITTED THIS.

SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

SO WE WILL WHILE IT ISN'T IN A FINANCIAL FORM OF SORTS OR IN YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENT UPDATE, WE WILL DO THAT NEXT TIME.

BUT YOU DO HAVE IT AS AN AGENDA ITEM SO THAT YOU KNOW, BEFORE YOU START COMMITTING PROJECTS FOR THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS ON ITEM NUMBER TWO? MOVING TO THREE. DISCUSSION ON ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER STAFF RETENTION PLAN.

[3. Discussion on Angleton Recreation Center staff retention plan.]

JASON, DID YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS ONE? IF YOU'RE ASKING, YOU'RE TELLING. VOLUNTOLD.

POLITELY. SO, YEAH, WE JUST WANTED TO BRING TO LIGHT SOME INFORMATION AS FAR AS SOME CHANGES WE MADE FOR THE RECREATION CENTER.

[00:10:07]

ONE OF THE MAIN ITEMS WE WANTED TO LOOK AT WAS HOW OPERATION WAS GOING, AND HOW THAT COINCIDED WITH TWO THINGS OF A WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE AS FAR AS US PROVIDING CUSTOMER SERVICE TO OUR MEMBERS, AND B THE STRUGGLE THAT WE'VE HAD TO MAINTAIN QUALITY STAFF AT THE FACILITY.

SO WE MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE STRUCTURE A LITTLE BIT.

SO YOU'LL SEE IN YOUR AGENDA SUMMARY.

WE WENT TO CITY MANAGER TO PROPOSE THE CHANGE WITHIN OUR CURRENT OPERATING BUDGET.

SO THIS PAST YEAR WE HAD A CUSTODIAL POSITION THAT WAS USED THROUGH CITY FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO CLEAN THE FACILITY.

WE HAD A OFF TIME WITH THAT EMPLOYEE AS FAR AS SOME THINGS TOWARDS THE BACK END OF THAT, WHICH GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO CONTRACT THAT SERVICE.

SO WE WERE UTILIZING A CONTRACT AND SAW A GOOD RETURN ON THAT INVESTMENT.

SO WE STARTED TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION TO SEE WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

SO WITH THAT, WE TOOK THAT POSITION AS FAR AS THAT CUSTODIAL POSITION AND TRIED TO REWORK TO SEE HOW THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE FACILITY AS FAR AS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SIDE OF THINGS.

SO YOU'LL SEE IN THAT PACKET KIND OF OUTLINES IT.

SO OUR CURRENT BUDGET FOR THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER HAS FOUR POSITIONS.

YOUR FACILITY OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT, YOUR AQUATICS MANAGER.

IT WAS A RECREATION ASSISTANT.

AND THEN THE MAINTENANCE OPERATION WHICH WAS THE CUSTODIAN.

WE JUST WANTED TO REDEFINE TWO OF THOSE SO TWO OF THEM WILL STAY THE SAME.

AND THEN THE BOTTOM TWO WE REALLOCATED TO BE MEMBER SERVICES ASSISTANCE TO REALLY HONE IN ON WHAT THEIR JOB WAS.

SO AS YOU KNOW, WE SPLIT LAST YEAR TO HAVE THE REC CENTER AND THE REC, THE REC DIVISION.

AND SO IT WAS KIND OF A LITTLE CONFUSING WHEN YOU HEAR RECREATION ASSISTANCE, THAT ONE DID NOT REPORT TO THE REC DIVISION.

IT WAS ACTUALLY FOR THE REC CENTER.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE A LITTLE MORE CONDUCIVE AND MAKE THAT A MEMBER SERVICE ASSISTANT AND THEN CONVERT THE OTHER ONE OVER TO A MEMBER SERVICE ASSISTANCE AS WELL.

OUR HOPE THERE IS TO BE ABLE TO OFFER KIND OF A STEP PLAN FOR SOME OF OUR RISING STARS WHO ARE PART TIME STAFF, PROVIDE THEM AN INCENTIVE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE UP WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION AND HELP SUPPORT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SIDE OF THINGS.

SO WITH THAT, WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT WE STILL HAVE TO DO CLEANING.

SO WE ARE CONVERTING SOME OF OUR TIME FROM OUR PART TIME STAFF.

SO WITH THE MEMBER SERVICES ASSISTANCE, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY BE FULL TIME POSITIONS THAT WOULD WORK THE FRONT DESK FOR HALF OF THEIR JOB, AND THEN THE OTHER HALF WOULD BE ADMINISTRATIVE WORK AWAY FROM THE DESK.

THEY WOULD FILL THE ROLE FROM THE 4:30 A.M.

SHIFT UNTIL A 530 SHIFT.

AS FAR AS THE TWO POSITIONS WOULD GO SO THEY WOULD OVERLAP EACH OTHER, IT WOULD NO LONGER HAVE A NEED FOR PART TIME STAFF IN THE MORNING, SO IT WOULD FREE UP THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF SAVINGS FROM OUR PART TIME STAFF, BE ABLE TO TRANSITION THEM TO INTO MORE OF A LEADERSHIP ROLE.

IT WOULD INCREASE CONTINUITY, COMMUNICATION, THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MEMBERS AND EVERYTHING BY HAVING A FULL TIME PERSON THERE VERSUS HAVING THE PART TIMERS THAT, AS I SAID, WERE KIND OF DIFFICULT TO FILL AND BRINGING THAT QUALITY OF CONSISTENCY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO WORK WITHIN THE FUNDS THAT WERE ALREADY APPROVED TO ENSURE THAT WE COULD STILL OPERATE WITHIN THOSE TWO POSITIONS AND STILL HAVE THE SAVINGS THAT WE HAD FROM OUR PART TIME STAFF AND A LITTLE BIT FROM OUR GROUP EXERCISE OR FITNESS CLASSES TO BE ABLE TO COVER OUR CONTRACT CLEANING.

SO IT ALL STAYS WITHIN OUR BUDGETS.

IT KEEPS US IN LINE TO STILL STAY IN THOSE UNDER BUDGET FOR THOSE, BUT IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT A HIGHER LEVEL THAT WILL HONE IN ON STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND WORKING WITH OUR MEMBERS.

THAT YOU TAKE ANY QUESTIONS? SO I JUST WAS THE ONE THING I WAS NOTICING HERE ON THAT ON THE CONTRACT CONSTRUCTORS.

UM, BUDGETED.

27 CLASSES, BUT NOW WE'RE REDUCING TO 23.

IS THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT.

SO WE WERE LOOKING TO INCREASE OUR CLASSES WHEN WE FIRST WERE GOING THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS.

BUT AFTER WE DID SOME EVALUATION ON IT AND WE CURRENTLY HAVE 23.

AND SO WE DECIDED TO STAY WITH THAT TO BE ABLE TO JUST INCREASE THE MEMBER EXPERIENCE.

I THINK WE STILL HAVE SOME REWORKING TO DO WITH THAT AND STAY WITHIN OUR 23, AND I THINK IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR OUR MEMBERSHIP BASE IF WE STAY WITHIN THE 23 CLASSES THAT WE'RE OFFERING AND JUST REDO THOSE CLASSES VERSUS TRYING TO INCREASE THE CLASSES RIGHT NOW.

SO IT'S NOT THAT WE WERE WE'RE NOT ELIMINATING ANY.

THERE WAS JUST THE IDEA THAT WE WOULD INCREASE CLASSES IN A CLOSER LOOK.

[00:15:01]

WE FEEL LIKE THE 2323 IS ENOUGH.

WE'LL SATISFY. THERE'S A COMPUTER, I HAVE IT, IT'S THE ONE I HAVE.

WE'RE GOOD. I GOT MINE UP.

GOT IT. YEAH.

SO CURRENTLY WE'RE OFFERING WE'RE NOT REDUCING ANY CLASSES AT THIS TIME.

IT WAS JUST FOR US.

WE FELT LIKE IT WAS MORE BENEFICIAL TO CREATE A BETTER MEMBER EXPERIENCE WITH HAVE THAT CONSISTENCY AT THE FRONTLINE STAFF VERSUS JUST TRYING TO ADD CLASSES BUT NOT WORK ON THE MEMBER BASE AND WORK WITH NOT ONLY PART TIME RETENTION, BUT RETENTION FOR OUR MEMBERS.

SOUNDS GOOD. BUT WE DO GET MORE CLEANING OUT OF THIS.

TECHNICALLY, YES, IN A WAY, BECAUSE WE NO LONGER HAVE TO BE WORRYING ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL BEING ON PTO.

SO THIS PAST YEAR WE HAD INDIVIDUALS OUT DURING SPRING BREAK, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF STAFF AND THEIR CLEANING.

SO WITH THE GROUP THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH, IT'S MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND THEY'RE CLEANING ON A REGULAR BASIS.

SO WHETHER THEY HAVE SOMEBODY, ONE OF THEIR STAFF GOES ON PTO, THEY'RE ALWAYS SENDING SOMEBODY TO BE ABLE TO DO CLEANING.

BUT IT'S JUST ONE PERSON STILL JUST ONE PERSON.

AND THIS WAS BID OUT.

AND THIS WAS THE BEST RESULT YOU GOT? YEAH. YEAH, WE WENT THROUGH.

WELL, WE DIDN'T DO BECAUSE OF THE COST THAT CAME IN AS WE WENT OUT.

I'VE JUST GOT THREE QUOTES FROM DIFFERENT COMPANIES AND THIS WAS THE LOWEST OF THE THREE.

YEAH. IF Y'ALL HAVE GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS AND ALL THAT.

YEAH. YEAH.

IT'S I MEAN, IT WAS TEMPORARY AT THE TIME.

SO WE WERE GOING TO RE-EXPLORE IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO POTENTIALLY BID OUT TO SEE IF WE CAN GET ANY DIFFERENT PRICES ON IT.

BUT THE WE'RE HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE THAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE AT THE MOMENT.

CAN YOU GO INTO THE MEMBER SERVICES ASSISTANT? WHY? WHY THE NEED TO CHANGE THIS JOB TITLE AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES CHANGING TO THAT EXTENT AS WELL? THE RESPONSIBILITIES TRULY ARE STAYING THE SAME RIGHT NOW.

IT WAS JUST CHANGING THE TITLE FROM A RECREATION ASSISTANT, WHICH WE FELT REALLY WENT MORE ALONG THE LINES OF THE REC DIVISION VERSUS MEMBER SERVICES BEING THE FRONTLINE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN OUR MEMBERS AND THE STAFF.

SO THE TWO POSITIONS THERE REALLY ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS ONE WILL ASSIST WITH STAFF MORE AND THE OTHER ONE WILL ASSIST WITH MEMBERSHIPS AND RENTALS A LITTLE BIT MORE HEAVILY TO BE ABLE TO CREATE A LITTLE MORE OPPORTUNITY.

SO WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THAT POSITION CARRIED A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES AS FAR AS THEIR DAY TO DAY GOES WITH RESPONDING TO CUSTOMER INQUIRIES, GOING THROUGH AND DOING RENTALS, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT LAKESIDE IS ONLINE.

AND THAT ONE IS KIND OF COMMUNICATION BACK AND FORTH MORE THAN SOME OF THE OTHER ONES WERE.

SO WE FELT THERE WAS A NEED TO BE ABLE TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER, IF YOU WILL, TO MAKE TWO PEOPLE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE ONUS OVER THAT.

AND BY CONVERTING THE PART TIME STAFF HOURS TO ASSIST WITH THIS, IT'S GOING TO BE A HELP TO GIVE THEM TIME TO DEVOTE TO THAT VERSUS THE PART TIME STAFF COULDN'T DO THAT.

THEY DIDN'T WEREN'T THERE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE CONSISTENCY AND KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION THAT WENT WITH IT.

SO THAT WAS THE BIG PART AS FAR AS CONVERTING THE NAME WAS TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE MEMBER EXPERIENCE AND THE MEMBER SIDE OF THINGS, VERSUS IT BEING A RECREATION ASSISTANT.

DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ARE YOU ALL GOOD WITH THIS? I FEEL LIKE JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING, I FEEL LIKE THAT'S KIND OF A FLUID SITUATION AS.

YOU'LL WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH IT.

IF CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE, I'M SURE IT'LL BE ADDRESSED, BUT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A GOOD MOVE RIGHT NOW.

YOU. IT'S BUDGET NEUTRAL.

YEAH. I.

I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE THIS WAS SO AS FAR AS RETENTION GOES, THIS WAS PHASE ONE THAT WE'RE STARTING WITH.

WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT WE'RE PLANNING TO BRING TO THE BOARD FOR PHASE TWO COME NEXT YEAR, TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AND HIGHLIGHT THAT EXPERIENCE.

SO THIS IS KIND OF A TIERED APPROACH TO BE ABLE TO GET TO WHERE WE'RE HOPING FOR A LONG TERM.

SURE. AND I GUESS WITH THAT IN MIND, IF YOU'LL JUST GIVE US FEEDBACK, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY NOT.

NOW TIME AS IT PROGRESSES TO SEE.

BECAUSE I'M SURE PHASE TWO COMES WITH ADDITIONAL MONETARY.

REQUEST. SO ANYWAY, WE'D LIKE TO WE'D LIKE TO OBVIOUSLY MAKE SURE THAT.

IT'S MONEY WELL SPENT. THAT'S ALL.

YEAH. AND THAT'S OUR HOPE AS WELL AS TO WOULD SOME OF THESE CHANGES HOPEFULLY MAKE IT TO WHERE WE DO SEE THAT INCREASE OF REVENUE THAT COMES FROM THIS AND BEING ABLE TO HIGHLIGHT

[00:20:05]

THAT SO IT CAN LEND ITSELF TO SHOW THE NEED THAT OR THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT BY CONTINUING TO FOCUS HERE.

OKAY. YEAH. I MEAN, I'M SURE IF Y'ALL GET ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC.

POSITIVE, NEGATIVE.

NEUTRAL, WHATEVER.

YOU KNOW, PLEASE PASS IT ON.

BE. YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING YOU WOULD HIDE IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT IS NEGATIVE, PLEASE LET US KNOW.

I DON'T THINK THEY WILL HEAR MUCH OF THAT.

I ALWAYS HEAR COMPLIMENTS, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

YES, AND WE CERTAINLY WILL.

ONE THING THAT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE POINT OUT IS THAT THIS WAS A RETENTION PLAN.

THAT IS PRIMARILY BECAUSE WE ARE EXPERIENCING A GREAT DEAL OF TURNOVER.

HR HAD REPORTED THAT IT WAS ABOUT 70% TURNOVER AT THE INGLETON RECREATION CENTER.

AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THE TIME THAT IT TAKES TO TRAIN EACH OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND THEN HAVE TO RETRAIN NEW INDIVIDUALS, I MEAN, WE I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE TAKEN DOWN OUR FRONT DESK PART TIME POSITION ALL YEAR.

WE HAVE MAINTAINED THAT POSTING ONLINE, AND IT IS FOR THAT REASON.

SO WE ARE REALLY AT A POSITION WHERE WE'VE GOT TO BE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

AND SO THIS IS A PLAN, A PHASED APPROACH, AS JASON MENTIONED, THAT WE HOPE WILL BEGIN ADDRESSING SOME OF THE RETENTION ISSUES.

AND THEN ALSO OBVIOUSLY, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, HAVE SOME SORT OF RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENT INVESTMENT.

SO WE'RE NOT CONSTANTLY. HIRING.

WHAT WAS THE AVERAGE RETENTION FOR THE PART TIME FOLKS WHO WERE COMING THROUGH? DO YOU KNOW THAT ANSWER? I DON'T I MEAN, JASON, YOU MIGHT HAVE A BETTER ANSWER THAN I WOULD.

I MEAN, WE'VE I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE SEASONAL HIRES FOR SUMMER.

SOMETIMES WE OFTEN DO FOR LIFEGUARDS, BUT.

I MEAN, I'LL TELL YOU THAT WE HAD LESS THAN FIVE PART TIME EMPLOYEES, WHETHER THEY WERE FRONT DESK OR LIFEGUARDS THAT HAD BEEN WITH US FOR LONGER THAN THREE YEARS.

AND WE STARTED WORKING WITH HR ON SOME SORT OF INCENTIVE FOR LONGEVITY PAY.

AND ONCE WE INSTITUTED THAT, I THINK WE HAD ZERO OF THOSE THREE YEAR EMPLOYEES.

AND THAT WAS JUST THIS YEAR.

SO AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF LONGEVITY.

JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, I MEAN, WE HAVE NO ONE THERE THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR LONGER THAN THREE YEARS.

YEAH, I THINK SOME TYPE OF RETENTION PLAN IS EXCELLENT BECAUSE THE TRAINING IT TAKES TO HAVE AN EMPLOYEE, THE TRAINING IT TAKES TO THAT, IT JUST WIPES AWAY A LOT OF THE PROFIT. AND ON TOP OF THAT, IT'S LIKE IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANY ONE FOR MAYBE $0.50 OR A DOLLAR, A COUPLE OF DOLLARS PER HOUR WHEN YOU CAN JUST KEEP THEM THERE.

SO I THINK IT'S ALL A GREAT THING TO RETAIN EMPLOYEES.

WAS THERE.

OH, SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF.

WHAT WAS THEIR MAIN REASON FOR LEAVING OR FOR US TERMINATING THEM? LIKE, TO THE EXTENT YOU CAN SAY THAT, LIKE IN GENERAL CATEGORIES.

I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY BOTH SPEAK TO THAT I AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, JASON, BUT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF RESPONSIBILITY AND TRAINING THAT COMES WITH THIS POSITION, SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE YOU'RE DEALING WITH MONEY HANDLING, YOU'RE DEALING WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

SO THERE'S A GREAT DEAL OF TRAINING THAT WENT INTO JUST EVEN SELLING A MEMBERSHIP OR A DAILY PASS, OR HOW YOU CHECK IN SOMEONE DAILY, AND THEN RENTALS AND RESERVATIONS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BALL GAME.

AND THERE'S A DIFFERENT PROCESS FOR FIELD RENTAL THAN THERE IS FOR ROADSIDE BANNER AND A ROOM AT THE INGLETON RECREATION CENTER.

IT'S ALL DIFFERENT, SO HAVING A PART TIME EMPLOYEE THERE FOR MAYBE 15 HOURS A WEEK AND RETAINING ALL OF THAT INFORMATION, IT WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO DO ON A CONSISTENT BASIS.

AND SO SOMETIMES WHEN PART TIME EMPLOYEES CAME UP AGAINST AN ISSUE, THEY DID THEIR BEST TO WORK AROUND THE ISSUE.

AND SOMETIMES THAT PUT BALANCES ON PEOPLE'S ACCOUNTS THAT WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE OR JUST A NUMBER OF ISSUES.

I WOULD SAY COMMUNICATION AND MANAGEMENT EVEN.

I WILL SAY WE HAVE A VACANCY CURRENTLY WITH OUR FACILITY OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT.

AND SO MAKING SURE THAT WE AS A LEADERSHIP, PARKS AND REC LEADERSHIP TEAM ARE HIRING THE BEST PERSON SUITED FOR THAT POSITION THAT HAS EXPERIENCE IN THESE TYPES OF OPERATIONS IS VITAL.

AND SO SOMETIMES THAT'S DIFFICULT.

RIGHT NOW, MANY OF YOU IN YOUR PLACES OF BUSINESS MAY BE EXPERIENCING THAT.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WAIT.

I MEAN, EVEN WITH THE LAST PERSON THAT WE ONBOARDED, I THINK WE HAD THE POSITION POSTED FOR OVER SIX MONTHS.

[00:25:01]

I KNOW JASON WAS DOING BOTH JOBS FOR ONLY SIX MONTHS, AND HE'S NOW BACK IN THAT POSITION WHERE HE IS DOING HIS JOB AND MANAGING THIS POSITION.

SO WE'RE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE RIGHT PERSON IN THERE BECAUSE IT DOES IMPACT OPERATIONS, COMMUNICATION.

WE HAVE TO HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE THERE LONG ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR CITY POLICIES ARE, BECAUSE OFTENTIMES THOSE WERE BREACHED.

AND SO I'LL BE FRANK WITH YOU, THERE WERE INCIDENCES THAT.

PART TIME EMPLOYEES WERE WRITTEN UP BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T FOLLOWING THE CODE OF CONDUCT FOR OUR FACILITY AND FOR THE CITY.

AND SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF ISSUES, AND ALL OF WHICH WERE AIMING TO ADDRESS WITH FULL TIME PEOPLE THAT WE CAN TRAIN, AND WHETHER THAT'S STAFF DEVELOPMENT, SAFETY TRAINING, POLICY REITERATION, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS IT IN THAT WAY.

SO JASON WORE MANY HATS, HUH.

DID HE DOES NEED TO PRAISE HIM FOR THE THINGS THAT HE'S DOING FOR OUR COMMUNITY? THAT DID THE PART TIME JOB CHANGE OVER TIME? I MEAN, DID IT WHEN IT STARTED OUT? DID THEY HAVE A LOT LESS RESPONSIBILITY THEN MORE ADDED TO IT OVER TIME? OR WAS IT LIKE THAT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING? I FROM MY TIME HERE, WE HAVE HAD PART TIME STAFF, BUT PROBABLY NOT NEAR AS MANY PROGRAMS OR EVENTS, CERTAINLY NOT AS MANY SENIOR PROGRAMS. AND SO YOU HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN FOR MEMBERSHIPS, RENTALS, PROGRAMS JUST BECAUSE THE FACILITY OPERATIONS IS NOT INVOLVED IN RECREATION. WE STILL UTILIZE THAT SOFTWARE, AND THEY ARE THE FRONT LINES FOR THAT REGISTRATION.

SO THEY STILL HAVE TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE OF OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROGRAM AND EVENTS THAT WE'RE OFFERING.

AND THAT HASN'T CHANGED.

PROBABLY THE QUANTITY HAS CHANGED.

I MEAN, FOR INSTANCE, TAKE LAKESIDE PARK THAT WASN'T IN EXISTENCE BEFORE FEBRUARY, AND NOW WE HAVE, I DON'T KNOW, FIVE DIFFERENT RENTAL OPTIONS THAT THEN YOU CAN'T RESERVE ONLINE JUST BY THE PUSH OF A BUTTON AND A PAYMENT.

WE HAVE TO TALK THROUGH THE PROCESS.

WHAT DO YOU PLAN ON HAVING? WE GO THROUGH THE CONTRACT SO IT TAKES TIME.

AND SO YES, THERE ARE SOME CHANGES THAT FRONT DESK STAFF HAVE EXPERIENCED, BUT WE HAVE HAD EITHER A FACILITY MANAGER OR A CONTINUITY IN OUR PART TIME EMPLOYEES AND IN THEIR POSITIONS IN THE PAST.

SO WE HAD A LONG TERM EMPLOYEE.

I WANT TO SAY SHE WAS WITH THE CITY FOR OVER NINE YEARS AND SHE WAS CONSISTENT.

SHE WORKED THE SAME TIME SLOT EVERY DAY.

AND SO YOU HAD THAT CONTINUITY THERE.

BUT WHEN YOU START LOSING THE RETENTION, IT BECOMES AN ISSUE.

I'M GOING TO PUT MY BUSINESS HAT ON HERE REAL QUICK.

I DON'T REALLY WANT TO GO DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE, BUT OKAY, RETENTION IS A GREAT THING.

IT'S IMPORTANT. YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO KEEP THAT.

HOWEVER, YOU DON'T WANT TO GO CHASING DOWN SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO FIX.

RETENTION OF PART TIME EMPLOYEES.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU'RE EVER GOING TO HAVE CONTROL OVER.

YOU CAN DO YOUR BEST, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO PROBABLY SPEND MORE TIME AND ENERGY CHASING THAT THAN YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO FIX THAT PROBLEM.

WHAT I WOULD LOOK AT HERE IS LET'S LOOK AT IT FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF A TEN YEAR PERSPECTIVE.

IS YOUR RETENTION WORSE OR BETTER THAN IT WAS TEN YEARS AGO OR EIGHT YEARS? BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT, THE REC CENTER IS GOING TO BE THE MOST TURNOVER OF OUR OF OUR CITY STAFF.

THAT'S JUST MOSTLY TEENAGERS AND YOUNGER KIDS.

IT'S A STEPPING STONE OF A JOB, AND THERE'S LESS SKILL NEEDED TO DO THAT THAN, SAY, GO WORK IN PUBLIC WORKS OR POLICE DEPARTMENT OR CITY HALL.

SO WE'VE GOT TO BE FAIR IN HOW WE'RE MEASURING AND ASSESSING OURSELVES HERE.

SO LOOKING AT IT, THE REC CENTER AND SAYING, OH, WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE RETENTION BY 30%.

THAT MIGHT BE A FUTILE EFFORT, BECAUSE IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF OF WHERE YOU'RE AT.

WHAT I WOULD ALSO SAY IS, I AGREE WITH YOU, THE COST OF TRAINING IS REALLY HARD TO DO, BUT IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE HIGH TURNOVER, THEN MAYBE INSTEAD OF TAKING THAT MONEY AND INVESTING IT TO TRY TO RETAIN KIDS WHO ARE PROBABLY GOING TO LEAVE ANYWAYS, TAKE THAT MONEY AND INVEST IT INTO A TRAINING PROGRAM THAT GETS PEOPLE UP AND MOVING FASTER. SO YOU REDUCE THAT COST.

THAT TO ME IS FIRST AND FOREMOST OF HOW WE APPROACH IT FROM FROM MY BUSINESS AND FROM EVERYTHING I'VE READ ONLINE AND SEEN FROM OTHER PEOPLE JUST HEARING STORIES.

IT'S IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIX OVERNIGHT.

BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY IT'S FAIR TO MEASURE YOUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF OF RETENTION AND KEEP THE OTHER SEPARATE, BECAUSE WHAT YOU REALLY WANT IS THE RETENTION OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND WHERE YOU DRAW THAT LINE.

[00:30:03]

I GUESS IN YOUR DEPARTMENT, THAT'S WHERE I WOULD MEASURE GOING UP, NOT MEASURE GOING DOWN, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT THAT TURNOVER.

SURE. AND I WILL NOTE TOO, I BELIEVE WE PUT IT IN YOUR PACKET THAT WHILE WE PRIMARILY SPOKE ON THE PERSONNEL CHANGES, THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE TACKLING IN THERE. AND I THINK THAT WAS ITEMIZED IN YOUR PACKET AS A LIST OF COMPONENTS.

FOR INSTANCE, OUR SOFTWARE HAS ONLINE DEMONSTRATION.

SO THERE'S THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO START PUTTING TOGETHER AS PART OF THE ORIENTATION ONBOARDING PROCESS SO THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS WHEN THEY COME IN OKAY.

YOU HAVE HOMEWORK HERE TO REVIEW THE DEMO TEST OUT OF THIS MODULE.

WHATEVER IT IS THAT CAN BE DONE WHILE THEY'RE BEING ONBOARDED.

SO YES, WE'RE NOT JUST PRIMARILY FOCUSING ON TRANSITIONING PEOPLE, POSITIONS, TITLES.

WE'RE LOOKING AT IT COMPREHENSIVELY.

SO ONE WOULD KIND OF STEP BACK A STEP HERE.

THE MEMBER SERVICES ASSISTANT TIMES TWO AND THE FACILITY OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT.

WHAT'S THE BREAKDOWN ON WHO'S AT THE FACILITY? HOW OFTEN? I MEAN, THEY'RE BOTH THOSE POSITIONS OR THOSE THREE POSITIONS.

SO IF YOU'RE THE LET'S SAY YOU'RE THE OPERATION SUPERINTENDENT, WOULD YOU IS THAT LIKE AN 8 TO 5 JOB MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY? I WOULD LOVE TO SAY YES, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SUPERINTENDENT POSITION.

YOU'RE WORKING OVER 40 HOURS A WEEK.

YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN THE.

BUT I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE YOUR NORMAL OPERATION HOURS.

I MEAN, YOUR EXPECTED HOURS, RIGHT? RIGHT. WELL, FOR ANY FULL TIME POSITION.

YES. OKAY. SO THAT'S WHAT, THREE FULL TIME POSITIONS.

WELL, YOU MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT BEGINNING AT 4:30 A.M..

SO I ASSUME THAT SOMEBODY ROLLS OFF AND THE OTHER ONE ROLLS OFF.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? THE OVERLAP.

BUT JASON DID. YEAH.

OKAY. SO THAT'S WHAT. SO WE WOULD EXPECT AT LEAST TWO FULL TIME EMPLOYEES THERE.

CORRECT. OKAY.

RIGHT. SO THAT'S NOT CHANGING THE WAY WE'RE OPERATING.

IT WILL BE AS IT RELATES TO PART TIME EMPLOYEES.

SO RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE PART TIME EMPLOYEES OPENING THE FACILITY.

OKAY. SO NOW YOU WOULD HAVE CONTINUITY AND WHO WHEN WHAT TIME THE FACILITY IS OPENING.

AND CUSTOMERS ARE GOING TO BE SEEING SIMILAR FACE.

UNLESS WE'RE ON HOLIDAY THEY'RE ON PTO, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

AT WHICH POINT, JUST LIKE WE DO WITH ANY OF OUR OTHER POSITIONS, YOU'RE HAVING PART TIME COME IN OR THE FACILITY OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT IS OPENING UP, OR I MEAN, THAT'S WHEN THOSE POSITIONS WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE PROBLEM.

BUT THE BULK WITH THE BULK OF THE DAY, THERE'S GOING TO BE AT LEAST TWO FULL TIME, IF NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF THREE TIME FULL TIME EMPLOYEES AT THE REC CENTER, ASSUMING NO PTO IS ASSUMING HEALTHY. CORRECT? CORRECT. ALL WORKING ON DIFFERENT THINGS.

OKAY, RIGHT. I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE OPERATION WORKS.

IT'S ALL SOME OF THE TURNOVER, SOME OF THE PROBLEMS YOU HAVE DAILY.

THERE'S GOING TO BE THE FRONT DESK.

WE GET FULL TIME EMPLOYEE THERE? YOU'VE GOT THAT COVERED NOW.

RIGHT OR SICKNESS? RIGHT. RIGHT.

SORRY. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO GO TO THE MICROPHONE.

I'LL BRING INTO IT NEXT TIME.

ANYBODY ELSE. ALL GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON FREEDOM PARK PASSIVE AREA DESIGN AND ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE COSTS.

[4. Discussion and possible action on Freedom Park Passive Area design and estimate of probable costs.]

YES. SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE OH GOODNESS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE APPROVED LAST FISCAL YEAR.

SO WE ARE ON TASK THREE OF DESIGN DEVELOPMENT OF FREEDOM PARK PASSIVE AREA.

YOU'LL SEE IN YOUR PACKET THAT WE HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE COST WHICH ARE DEFINITELY OVER BUDGET.

EVEN THE LOW RANGE.

A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A I BELIEVE IT'S OVER A 200 FOOT CROSSING OVER THE WEIR.

IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN OUT TO FREEDOM PARK AND SEEING THE CONSTRUCTION, YOU WILL SEE IF YOU DO VISIT HOW MASSIVE THIS WEIR STRUCTURE IS.

BUT IT'S WORKING REALLY WELL.

IT'S WORKING AS DESIGNED AND IS INCREDIBLY INNOVATIVE.

SO ONE THING THAT I WANT TO NOTE IS THAT WE HAVE TWO CROSSINGS.

YOU'LL SEE HERE IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE PRESENTATION OR IN YOUR PACKET THAT YOU HAVE ONE OVER THE RANCHO DITCH, RANCHO DITCH THAT'S A LITTLE OVER 100FT.

AND THEN THE WEIR STRUCTURE IS A LITTLE OVER 200FT.

SO ORIGINALLY WE HAD ASKED THAT BURDETT, WHO WAS HIRED TO DO THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, TO GO IN WITH A PREFABRICATED BRIDGE, YOU'LL SEE IN YOUR ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE COST THAT, I MEAN, THIS PROJECT WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTION A LITTLE OVER 600,000 WITH THE PREFAB BRIDGES, HOW THEY'RE QUOTING OUT AND ESTIMATING.

[00:35:04]

NOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT OVER A MILLION.

I DON'T HAVE IT.

THERE WE GO. THANK YOU.

1.8 I MEAN, QUITE, QUITE A BIT MORE THAN WE WERE ORIGINALLY EXPECTING WITH THAT $600,000 NUMBER.

SO I ASKED BURDETT TO GO BACK AND PROVIDE US SOME OTHER ALTERNATIVES.

WE DID HAVE A BOARDWALK DESIGN IN LAKESIDE PARK ORIGINALLY, WHICH WAS TAKEN OUT, IF YOU ALL RECALL, THAT WAS PROBABLY AROUND $90,000, AND IT WAS JUST FOR PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THE WATER, BE CLOSER TO THE WATER.

AND IT WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STRUCTURE, SO SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER.

BUT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT TYPE OF MAINTENANCE IN HERE IN YOUR PACKET, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE THREE THE LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH RANGES, THE LOW ARE DOING BOARDWALKS ACROSS RANCHO AND THE WEIR STRUCTURE.

THE MID RANGE IS WITH HAVING THE PREFAB BRIDGE OVER THE WEIR.

NO EXCUSE ME OVER RANCHO DITCH AND HAVING THE BOARDWALK OVER THE WEIR.

AND THEN THE HIGH IS HAVING PREFAB BRIDGES OVER BOTH.

AND CAN YOU GO TO THE PICTURE? AND SO THOSE ARE YOUR RENDERINGS.

AND THAT'S OVER THE DITCH FROM FREEDOM PARK TRAIL.

THAT IS THE BOARDWALK.

THAT'S WHERE.

NO. THAT IS THAT'S THE BOARDWALK.

SO THESE TWO PICTURES OF THE BOARDWALK, RIGHT? OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS CONFUSED ON BECAUSE I WAS SEEING THIS.

I'M SORRY. AND I WANT TO SEE WHAT THE WEIRD OR THE, THE PREFAB LOOKED LIKE.

AND SO THE PREFAB, IT KEEPS GROWING.

JASON. WE'LL SEE IF IT'S THAT ONE.

I DON'T I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE A RENDERING OF THAT, BUT I'M TRYING TO THINK WE MAY BE ABLE TO PULL SOMETHING UP FOR YOU IN THE MEANTIME.

I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW WIDE.

IT'S A PRETTY EXTENSIVE BOARDWALK.

YEAH. IT'S PRETTY. IT IS.

AND IF YOU GO AND LOOK AT THE WEIR, YOU WILL SEE EXACTLY WHY.

I MEAN, WE'VE GOT TO AVOID THE PILINGS, HAVE TO AVOID THE CONCRETE WEIR STRUCTURE.

AND THAT WEIR STRUCTURE IS MASSIVE.

SO AGAIN IT PROTRUDES OUT.

IT GOES AROUND THE WEIR STRUCTURE.

THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT KIND OF EXTENSION OUT.

IT KIND OF GOING PARALLEL TO THE WEIR AND THEN JETTING BACK IN.

AND SO THIS PICTURE THAT WE SAW OF THE BOARDWALK, IT'S IT'S LOOKING BACK AT FREEDOM PARK OR AT THE NEW AREA THAT'S LOOKING RIGHT.

IT'S LOOKING NORTH OKAY.

IT IS. AND SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

OH EXCUSE ME. YOU ALSO SEE JUST SOME DETAILS ABOUT.

I ASKED THEM TO GIVE US SOME INFORMATION ABOUT, SPECIFICALLY THE STRUCTURES OF BOTH THE PREFAB AND THE BOARDWALK SO THAT YOU KIND OF UNDERSTOOD LONGEVITY, MAINTENANCE. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

SO THAT IS IN YOUR PACKET LISTED HERE.

AND AGAIN, VERDET RECOMMENDED THAT THE PREFAB BRIDGE BE CONSTRUCTED OVER THE DITCH AND A BOARDWALK BE OVER THE WEIR AND THE STAFF.

WHAT DOES THAT PUT US FINANCIALLY? SO THAT'S GOING TO PUT YOU AT THAT MID RANGE POINT ONE.

THAT IS RIGHT OKAY.

THAT WAS THE MIDDLE. THAT WAS THE MID RANGE OPTION RIGHT.

AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT MORE WHEN WE GO INTO POTENTIAL PROJECTS.

BUT BASED ON OUR DEBT CAPACITY, IF THAT'S WHAT ABC DECIDES TO DO, WE COULD COMPLETE THIS PROJECT FREEDOM ACTIVE AREA IN WHOLE START DESIGN ON ABIGAIL AND AND ALSO PURSUE THE WATER FEATURE STRUCTURE, REHAB AND THE RECREATION CENTER.

IF YOU ALL DECIDE TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION WITH THE FUND BALANCE THAT WE HAVE AT THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER, ONCE YOU TOUCH THE WATER FEATURE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE PLASTER, THE DECKING, AND THAT COULD POTENTIALLY ALSO ALL BE DONE WITH RC FUND BALANCE.

SO SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT, BUT I WANTED TO DISCUSS THIS FIRST SO THAT STAFF COULD GET SOME DIRECTION BEFORE WE GOT INTO.

FUTURE PROJECTS. I DON'T WANT TO.

I MEAN, IT'S HARD TO GIVE YOU DIRECTION ON THIS WHEN WE STILL NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE OTHER STUFF.

ABSOLUTELY. SO ANOTHER OPTION IS.

TABLING THIS.

WE DID WANT TO.

RIGHT NOW, WHERE IT STANDS IS BURDETT.

CONSULTANTS ARE WAITING ON US FOR DIRECTION, WHICH WE CAN COME BACK TO THEM.

IT'S JUST IT'LL BE A DELAY IN THEIR DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

BUT I DON'T SEE HERE IS HOW MUCH TO JUST PUT THE BRIDGE OVER THE DITCH RIGHT NOW.

[00:40:01]

SO IF YOU DID THE THE PREFAB, JUST THAT RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY THING THAT HAS COME UP BEFORE IN YEARS PAST, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT RECALL, BUT WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING A BRIDGE, YOU'D BE BUILDING IT TO NOWHERE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADA ACCESSIBLE.

SO THEN YOU START ASKING QUESTIONS, OKAY, IF WE BUILD A BRIDGE, WHAT'S OUR ADA ACCESSIBLE ROUTE AFTER THEY CROSS THE BRIDGE, ARE WE BUILDING A PATHWAY? IF WE ARE, HOW IS IT GOING TO GO OVER THE WEIR STRUCTURE.

SO A LOT OF OTHER QUESTIONS.

DOES IT HAVE TO. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO.

YOU CAN DO AN OUT AND BACK AND AROUND.

YOU CAN JUST CIRCLE BACK.

YOU CAN MAKE A LITTLE CIRCLE AT THE END.

AND KIND OF LIKE WHEN THEY'RE BUILDING SUBDIVISIONS, THEY PUT LAKE JACKSON AND PARK AND LAKE MCCLAIN PARK.

IT JUST DOES A CIRCLE AT THE END.

SO THAT IS ANOTHER OPTION.

WE CAN ASK THEM TO DESIGN.

I MEAN, IT ALWAYS COULD BE DONE IN PHASES TO START WITH THAT AND THEN EVENTUALLY ADD ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN YOU'RE IN TURNAROUND COULD BE AN OUTLOOK THAT EVENTUALLY CONNECTS TO A BOARDWALK IF WE DECIDE TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION.

CORRECT. SO ABSOLUTELY.

SO I GUESS I NEED, I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT NUMBER, JUST THAT BY ITSELF.

I CAN DO THAT BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN'T TRY TO BITE OFF THE WHOLE THING AT ONE TIME.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH THE DEBT SERVICE CAPACITY THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

DOESN'T ALL HAVE TO BE DONE NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DEBT SERVICE CAPACITY IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS AS WELL.

YEAH. SO I MEAN, AND WE'VE KIND OF DONE THAT.

I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF BEEN THE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR ANGLETON IS.

START ADDRESSING SOMETHING, BUT KIND OF SPREADING THE WEALTH A LITTLE BIT AND ADDRESSING OTHER AREAS AS WELL.

YEAH. SO WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS WE STAFF DOES HAVE DIRECTION TO COME BACK WITH ANOTHER OPTION.

AND SO THIS ITEM WILL BE TABLED UNTIL A FUTURE MEETING WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

IS THAT GOOD WITH EVERYONE ELSE? I'M FINE. TATUM WAS GREAT.

PRETTY BIG. I MEAN, YEAH.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU'D LIKE US TO CONSIDER WITH BURDETT BEFORE WE COME BACK? NO. WELL, THAT'S BASICALLY IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

I'M JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE BOTH OPTIONS.

WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS.

BOTH THE PREFAB AND JUST A WOODEN OVER THE DITCH.

SO THE WOODEN.

IS YOUR LOW.

I UNDERSTAND. I'M JUST.

JUST TO GIVE US OPTIONS.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT I'M JUST SAYING.

TO. IF WE WERE LOOKING JUST CENTRALLY AT THE.

CROSSING THE DITCH.

OH, I SEE SO BOTH A PREFAB AND A WOODEN BRIDGE, BUT BOTH WITH A DEAD END OVERLOOK.

CORRECT, I SEE.

I UNDERSTAND. OKAY.

I WOULD JUST GIVE US. I JUST I JUST WANT TO SEE, YOU KNOW, PLAY WITH NUMBERS.

I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS DRAWING HERE.

ARE THERE OTHER TREES KIND OF SIMILAR OUT THERE? I MEAN, I KNOW FROM THE ROADWAY IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE ON 523.

HONESTLY, IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ON SITE, CALL ME.

I'LL TAKE YOU OUT THERE. IT IS GOING TO BE GREAT.

THERE'S TREE CANOPIES AND THE MAINTENANCE BERM THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY.

IF YOU PUT IN DIG OR EVEN CONCRETE TEN FOOT WIDE TRAIL OR EVEN EIGHT, WHATEVER, WE DECIDE AND YOU'VE GOT TREE CANOPY ALL THE WAY AROUND. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

AND WHEN WE DO GET A HEAVY RAIN, I MEAN THAT IT FILLS UP.

I MEAN, IT LOOKS GREAT.

THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB.

GOOD. IT'S ALSO A GOOD SOURCE OF DRAINAGE.

OH, YEAH. DEFINITELY.

IT'S WORKING AS DESIGNED.

MOVING TO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

ITEM NUMBER FIVE CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING DESIGNATION OF PROJECTS FOR THE ANGLETON BETTER LIVING CORPORATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 2024.

[5. Conduct a public hearing regarding designation of projects for the Angleton Better Living Corporation for fiscal year 2023-2024.]

MOVE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. A SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. WE ARE NOW IN A PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON FOR OR AGAINST THIS ITEM? CALL IT. OKAY.

GOING ONCE.

NOW DO YOU.

IS YOUR INTENTION OF US CLOSING THIS PUBLIC HEARING NOW, OR DID YOU WANT TO LEAVE IT OPEN FOR ANYTHING? THE ONLY THING THAT I'LL SAY IS THAT WE.

AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE DID HAVE ONE PUBLIC HEARING.

[00:45:02]

WE CAN HAVE AS MANY PUBLIC HEARINGS AS WE WOULD LIKE ON OUR PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, UNTIL WE DECIDE WHAT IT IS THAT WE WANT TO DO, TO GIVE THE COMMUNITY AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE THEIR OPINION ON THE PROJECTS THAT WE MAY OR MAY NOT BE PURSUING.

SO AGAIN, THIS IS THE SECOND ONE.

IF WE DO ANY KIND OF PARK DESIGN, IT'S A MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.

AND SO IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DECIDE TO PURSUE WITH SOME OF THESE PROJECTS OR EVEN ISSUANCE, IT WILL TRIGGER SOME ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COME IN.

DISCUSS THE PROJECTS.

OKAY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING A SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. WE ARE NOW OUT OF PUBLIC HEARING.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO COMMENT ON? DO YOU WANT TO START OR.

YOU BASICALLY SAID WHAT YOU NEEDED TO SAY.

SAID WHAT I NEEDED TO SAY.

GOT IT. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE HAVE ALL THESE ITEMS HERE.

IT'S UP TO US TO DECIDE HOW WE WANT TO PROCEED.

I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY. ARE WE NOW ON AGENDA ITEM SIX? UM, NO.

YOU'RE NOT STILL ON FIVE.

STOP MY SCREEN. DO YOU WANT TO? I GUESS ITEM FIVE WAS JUST TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO WE CAN GO TO ITEM NUMBER SIX, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON DESIGNATION OF PROJECTS WITH THE ANGLETON BETTER LIVING CORPORATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 2024.

[6. Discussion and possible action on designation of projects for the Angleton Better Living Corporation for fiscal year 2023-2024.]

YES. SO THIS IS IDENTICAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF COLOR CODING AND SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY FROM STAFF FOR AGENDA ITEM SIX.

LAST MEETING. YOU ALL ASKED US TO COME BACK WITH PROJECTS THAT WE HAD INCLUDED AT THE LAST PUBLIC HEARING, MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON SOME PROJECTS THAT WE WERE WE HAD SOME INFORMATION TRICKLING IN, SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO BG SOCCER COMPLEX FIELD DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS.

SO THAT IS IN YOUR PACKET THIS EVENING.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE HERE TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE WITH ALL OF THESE PROJECTS.

SO I WILL JUST START AT THE TOP UNLESS YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

SO ITEM A AND B ARE A, B AND D, EXCUSE ME, ARE ITEMS THAT YOU COMMITTED LAST FISCAL YEAR THAT ARE NOT COMPLETE BUT ARE COMMITTED FUNDS.

SO THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE STILL HAVE YET TO DEDICATE TO THESE PROJECTS THIS FISCAL YEAR.

ITEM C WAS ELIMINATED BECAUSE WE WERE NOT AWARDED THE GRANT FOR THE NON INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT ITEMS. E F.

Q AND Q AND Q.

HOW DID I DESIGNATE THESE? EXCUSE ME. GREEN ARE UNBUDGETED ITEMS THAT ARE IMMEDIATE NEEDS.

NO, THAT'S NOT CORRECT.

STAFF HAVE HIGHLIGHTED PRIORITIES DISCUSSED BY THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD IN AND BETTER LIVING CORPORATION AND GREEN.

OKAY, SO IF YOU LOOK AT E F Q, DOUBLE A, DOUBLE B, DOUBLE C, THOSE ARE ALL ITEMS THAT YOU ALL MENTIONED AS PROJECT PRIORITIES ON APRIL 10TH AND APRIL 17TH RESPECTIVELY.

AND WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO PRIORITIZE CIP PROJECTS.

AND SO WE TRIED TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE FOR YOU TO KEEP IN MIND.

LAST MEETING I WILL NOTE ON DOUBLE C, YOU ALL CONSIDERED MAYBE PURSUING ONLY PORTIONS OF FREEDOM PARK ACTIVE ZONE. I DID INCLUDE THE FULL AMOUNT JUST FOR FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY.

IF YOU ALL WANT TO SCALE THAT DOWN, TOTALLY UP TO YOU.

ON PAGE.

UM, LET'S SEE HERE.

JASON, CAN YOU SEE THERE IS A PAGE OF THE FREEDOM PARK MASTER PLAN COMPONENTS ON THERE SO THAT YOU CAN REFERENCE.

IT'S ITEMIZED ON WHAT COSTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVE RECREATION AREA.

SO THAT'S JUST THERE AS A RESOURCE FOR YOU.

IF YOU WANTED TO SCALE THAT NUMBER DOWN, IF YOU'RE EVEN CONSIDERING IT AS A PROJECT.

AND THAT IS ON PAGE.

YOU ARE SO.

GOING TO BE WAY DOWN THERE.

YEAH. MY PACKAGE IS CRASHED.

SO WHEN WE LOCATE THAT PAGE NUMBER, WE'LL COME BACK TO IT.

[00:50:05]

AND THE ITEMS IN YELLOW ARE IMMEDIATE NEEDS FOR OUR DEPARTMENT.

SO WE HAVE A WATER WELL PUMP AT BOOGIE PARK SOCCER COMPLEX THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

YES IT DOES. WE HAD A REQUEST FOR A MOWER AND TRAILER AND A SKID STEER LEASE FOR PARK OPERATIONS.

AND THEN OF COURSE THE NATATORIUM COMPONENTS, WHICH WE HAVE LISTED SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROPOSALS.

THESE WERE IN LAST MEETING'S PACKET, BUT I THINK YOU ALL WANTED SOME TIME TO REALLY BREAK DOWN THE NUMBERS, WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE.

SO THAT IS ALL INCLUDED THE BEYOND BLUE POOLS.

I WILL SAY BASED ON THE COMPONENT THAT THEY'VE GIVEN US, IT'S LESS.

THEN IT'S A, IT'S A IT'S OFFERING LESS INTERACTIVE COMPONENTS THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTING.

VORTEX IS YOUR NEXT STEP UP.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S FAIRLY INTERACTIVE.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING IN YOUR PACKET, YOU CAN SEE THEIR PROPOSAL, AND THEN LONESTAR RECREATION HAS A VERY BASIC OPTION THE MID RANGE.

MID RANGE OPTION.

THANK YOU JASON.

UM AND THEN A.

A. A HUGE OVERHAUL OPTION, IF YOU WILL.

SO THOSE ARE THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT THIS FISCAL YEAR.

AND THEN OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE INCLUDED, OF COURSE, ARE THE NATATORIUM, DECK, POOL, PLASTER.

SO ONCE YOU START CHIPPING AWAY AND CHANGING DESIGN OF WATER FEATURE COMPONENTS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THE POOL PLASTER.

THE DECK IS AN ISSUE THAT REALLY IS A CONCERN FOR THE RECREATION CENTER.

WE WOULD TRY TO TACKLE THAT WITH A FUND BALANCE.

IF IT WASN'T APPROVED AS A PROJECT IN A CONTINGENCY.

THERE'S 88 ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS WITH THE DECK, AND JUST THE CONDITION OF THE CURRENT DECK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

OUR CONTROL SYSTEM, WE'RE TRAINED TO WORK THAT OUT.

THAT IS ITEM N, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THAT OUT TO WHERE WE CAN DO THAT WITHIN OUR OPERATIONAL BUDGET AND BG CULVERT O AND P AND COMPLEX ROAD REHAB.

WE'RE REALLY PUTTING THOSE OFF UNTIL WE HAVE ADDRESSED THE FIELD DRAINAGE ISSUES.

AS WE START HAULING DIRT ONTO FIELDS AND TRANSPORTING WE WE DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE A NEWLY POURED STREET OR ROAD.

SO WE WANT TO BE SMART WITH HOW WE ATTACK THESE PROJECTS.

WE WANT TO ADDRESS THE DRAINAGE BEFORE WE INSTALL, REINSTALL THE ROAD THAT WAS THERE, OR AS AN ALTERNATIVE, DON'T INSTALL A ROAD AND REALIGN THE CULVERTS TO WHERE THEY LINE UP WITH THE NORTH AND SOUTH PARKING LOT AT THE COMPLEX.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION.

AND. AGAIN, YOUR BG.

Q THE FIELD GRADING THAT WAS A PROPOSAL PROVIDED BY HDR BASED ON WHAT THEY BELIEVE THE PROJECTED COSTS WILL BE, INCLUDING THEIR SCOPE OF WORK, COMPLETING THAT SCOPE OF WORK TO PUT IT OUT FOR BID, AND THEN CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION RC MASTER PLAN.

I DID FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ALL AFTER OUR LAST MEETING.

SO WHILE WE ARE ON THE BOOKS THIS FISCAL YEAR WITH OUR STRATEGIC PLAN TO DO AN UPDATE FOR OUR MASTER STRATEGIC PLAN, WE'VE ALSO BEEN ASKED TO LOOK AT THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER AS A WHOLE AND DETERMINE, YOU KNOW, IS THERE CAN WE APPROACH A PRO FORMA OR ARE WE OFFERING THE SERVICES PEOPLE WANT TO PAY FOR? HOW ARE WE HELPING PAY FOR OUR OPERATIONAL COSTS? WHAT DOES IT NEED TO LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE? DO WE NEED TO EXPAND? DO WE NEED TO REBUILD ALL OF THOSE THINGS? SO WE HAVE AN RC MASTER PLAN IN HERE, SECO GRANT MATCHING FUNDS.

SO WE HAVE LIGHTING ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY.

WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS AND CONVERT TO LED.

WE HAVE APPLIED FOR A $50,000 GRANT WITH SECO.

IT REQUIRES A MATCHING PORTION.

SO WE WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE BUDGETED.

IF IT CANNOT BE, WE'LL TRY TO FIND IT IN OUR OPERATIONAL BUDGET IF WE ARE AWARDED TO PURSUE THAT.

WE SUBMITTED TWO DIFFERENT PROJECTS TO ADDRESS THE ENTIRE FACILITY.

WE COULD BE AWARDED BOTH, AND IF WE WERE, THEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE A MATCHING PORTION FOR BOTH.

BOTH OF THOSE GRANTS.

GYMNASIUM PAINT OF COURSE.

AGAIN, ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER LIGHTING.

THAT'S ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE PURSUED.

SO IF WE DON'T GET AWARDED THE GRANT, THAT'S THE NUMBER YOU'RE LOOKING AT TO UPDATE THE LIGHTING IN THE NATATORIUM, WHICH IS A REAL NEED.

WE ARE ALSO NEEDING ADDITIONAL SERVER AND DATA STORAGE FOR CAMERAS.

I KNOW JASON WORKED WITH JASON CREWS MORE CLOSELY ON WHAT ALL THAT ENTAILS, SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT IN REAL DEPTH.

[00:55:02]

BUT JASON MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS AS IT RELATES TO THAT.

WE DO. WE TALKED LAST YEAR ABOUT TACKLING AREAS OF THE RECREATION CENTER ONE AT A TIME.

SO IF WE CAN ADDRESS ALL OF THE AEROBICS AREA, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? AND THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST YEAR.

SO THAT IS IN HERE X WE'VE DELETED.

WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10,000 IN ADDITION TO THE 20 ALREADY ALLOCATED LAST YEAR.

BUT WE WERE NOT AWARDED THAT GRANT.

BATES LED SPORTS LIGHTING.

THIS IS A PROPOSAL FOR SERVICE AGREEMENT TO CHANGE OUT ALL OF THE SPORTS LIGHTING TO LED.

IF WE DID AN OUTRIGHT PURCHASE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT AROUND $400,000.

IF WE DID A SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH A COMPANY THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, YOU HAVE OPTIONS FOR 12, 15 AND 20 YEAR MONTHLY SERVICE FEE, AND THOSE ARE OUTLINED FOR YOU.

IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO CONSIDER.

AND THEN Z IS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE CATCHALLS.

IF YOU GUYS FIND THAT SOMETHING THAT ISN'T INCLUDED IN HERE AND YOU WANT TO BE INCLUDED HERE LATER ON DOWN THE LINE, THAT COULD BE APPROVED WITH THE MULTIPLE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT WE'VE HAD. FOR INSTANCE, I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF BATES SHADE COVERINGS OVER BLEACHERS THAT COULD STILL FALL IN THE Z CATEGORY.

WE THEN START GETTING INTO OUR DOUBLE A, DOUBLE B, DOUBLE C, DOUBLE D, DOUBLE E, AND THOSE ARE ALL CIP RELATED ITEMS THAT ARE IN OUR MASTER AND STRATEGIC PLAN WITHIN THIS FISCAL YEAR.

SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT OR THEY WERE PRIORITIES THAT YOU MENTIONED AND YOU WANTED TO BE LISTED AS A PRIORITY.

SO WE'VE INCLUDED ABIGAIL ARIAS PARK FREEDOM PASSIVE AREA, WHICH YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED BUT HAVE NOT CONSTRUCTED.

AGAIN, THOSE NUMBERS THAT ARE LISTED THERE ARE BASED ON THE LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH OPTIONS.

WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU WITH ADDITIONAL ONES.

FREEDOM PARK ACTIVE AREA.

THAT'S THE FULL SCOPE. AND WHAT JASON HAS UP HERE IS IT HELPS TO ITEMIZE.

WHAT PAGE IS THAT ON? JASON? 177 177 IT HELPS BREAK DOWN THE COSTS IN THAT AREA.

SO AT THE LAST MEETING YOU ALL TALKED ABOUT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING ONLY THE FIELD.

AND SO IF YOU TAKE OUT THE VEGETATION, THE BERMING, THE PLAZA, THE WALKWAYS, THE STORAGE, THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU COULD REALLY REDUCE THAT COST.

BUT BE MINDFUL OF WHAT THE ANGLETON LITTLE LEAGUE HAS ASKED FOR PREVIOUSLY.

I KNOW STORAGE IS A MAJOR ISSUE OF THEIRS, AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO DEVELOP A NEW FIELD, YOU NEED TO HAVE ADA ACCESSIBILITY AND A WALKING PATH.

SO EVEN IF IT'S NOT THE PLAZA, IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING.

SO JUST BE MINDFUL WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO REDUCE THAT NUMBER.

IF YOU TRY TO REDUCE IT, THAT YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE SOME KEY COMPONENTS IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS A FUNCTIONING AMENITY.

YEAH. MEGAN, I GUESS FOR CLARITY, FOR THE THE FIELD, THAT'S THE NEW FIELD THAT'S COMING.

YES. SO WHAT THIS.

IS THAT THAT FOUR PLEX JUST SOUTH.

THAT IS WHAT IS EXISTING.

AND THEN IN THE.

AND ACTUALLY IF YOU LOOK ON THAT PAGE.

JASON CAN YOU STAND UP AND JUST POINT TO THEM THE SHADED OUT AREAS.

THEY'VE UNSHADED THIS ACTIVE AREA SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT SPECIFICALLY THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IN FREEDOM.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE RED AREA THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE FREEDOM PLAYGROUND, IF YOU'LL POINT THAT OUT.

THANK YOU. JUST NORTH OF THAT IS AN OPEN FIELD IN BLUE.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE PASSIVE AREA THAT WE'RE WORKING ON DESIGN DEVELOPMENT IS FAR NORTH.

THE PURPLE IS A TRAIL SYSTEM PROPOSED.

IT'S JUST A WALKING PATH THAT'S BEHIND RANCHO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

SO, YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WERE, I GUESS FIRST DOING THE FREEDOM PARK AND WE'RE EXPANDING AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, THE BALL FIELD TO BE A BIGGER BALL FIELD FOR LARGER KIDS.

WE ALSO HAD THAT THING ON THE TABLE WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE AMPHITHEATER AS WELL, AND THAT IS IN THE FAMILY ACTIVE ZONE.

THAT'S IN THE RED ZONE.

SO WE HAVEN'T EVEN REALLY GOTTEN INTO THAT SECTION, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD.

SO SO WHAT'S GOING ON NOW WOULD NOT IMPACT THAT WHATSOEVER IF WE HAD PLANS FOR THAT IN THE FUTURE.

OKAY. GOOD. PERFECT.

AND ONE OTHER THOUGHT IN THE BLUE AREA THERE MAY YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER OR TALK WITH THEM.

THE LEAK ABOUT TWO VERY SMALL FIELDS.

RIGHT. SO THAT BLUE WALLET, YOU WILL NEED A LOT OF SPACE BECAUSE IT WOULD JUST BE FOR.

YEAH. I'M THINKING LIKE LONG TERM.

OH FOR SURE. AND THAT'S, THAT'S HOW IT'S DESIGNATED.

SO WHILE IT'S SHADED OUT, IF YOU GO TO THE MASTER PLAN ON OUR OUR CITY WEBSITE, THOSE ARE TWO FIELDS.

IF YOU ZOOM IN YOU CAN SEE THEM.

YOU JUST CAN'T SEE IT BECAUSE IT'S FOCUSED ON THE ACTIVE AREA.

BUT YEAH, I'M JUST SAYING AS THE CITY GROWS, YOU'RE GOING TO PROBABLY FIVE FIELDS, ESPECIALLY ON THE LITTLE LEAGUE SIDE.

IT'S GOING TO BE MAYBE INSUFFICIENT.

[01:00:01]

BUT SINCE YOU ALREADY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.

SO GREAT. NO NEED TO BELABOR THAT.

I MEAN, TRYING TO STAY ON.

CAN WE PICK THIS ONE UP WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ITEM NUMBER SEVEN? SURE, BECAUSE WE DEFINITELY KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FUNDED THROUGH THE BUDGET, RIGHT? IT'S GOING TO COME FROM THE CIP, WHICH IS OUR NUMBER SEVEN, BUT IT MAY ALSO BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO SEVEN, IT MAY BE BENEFICIAL TO UNDERSTAND WHERE BOARD OF DIRECTORS STANDS ON THE PROJECT. SO WITH THE LAST TWO ITEMS, TRAILS MASTER PLAN WAS AN ITEM ON THIS FISCAL YEAR AND THEN STICKY MASTER PLAN ALSO.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU ALL TO DISCUSS.

SO I HATE TO JUMP THE MIC.

GO FOR IT. GIVE IT TO ANYBODY.

I SEE ALL OF THIS.

AT THE END OF THE DAY.

THE ABC IS CREATED BECAUSE CITIZENS WANT TO SEE US IMPROVE OUR PARK SYSTEM, AND THEY'VE ENTRUSTED US WITH THE HALF CENT SALES TAX TO DO SO.

WHAT IN HERE GETS ANY OF THE CITIZENS WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR RIGHT NOW? WE'VE GOT MOWERS, TRAILERS.

WE'VE GOT THE NATATORIUM IMPROVEMENTS.

WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF MAINTENANCE STUFF IN HERE.

WE EVEN GOT AN IT SERVER IN HERE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY TO ME.

WE SHOULD BE TACKLING THE GUYS THAT ARE THE ONES THAT THE CITIZENS ARE GOING TO GET THE MOST BANG FOR THEIR BUCK FOR.

UM. TIM, I THINK THAT WATER WELL PUMP HAS TO BE DONE.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT NEEDS TO BE FUNDED OUT OF A PLC.

IT COULD THAT NEEDS TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE, BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO COME FROM HERE.

BUT IT IS A NECESSITY BECAUSE IT'S STOPPING ACTIVITY OUT AT THE SOCCER COMPLEX.

I FEEL LIKE THE MOWER, THE TRAILER, THE SKID STEER.

I SEE YOU HAVE PROPOSED GENERAL FUND IN THERE.

WELL, WE HAVE TO.

THAT SHOULD BE JUST SOMETHING THAT GETS TAKEN OUT AND AND LOOKED AT FROM THE GENERAL FUND SIDE COMPLETELY.

I WOULDN'T WANT TO. CONFUSE IT HERE, BUT THE THINGS THAT I THINK MAKE THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.

AS MUCH AS I HATE TO PUT MORE MONEY INTO THE REC CENTER AT TIMES.

IT. IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO COME THERE, YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE.

AND SOME OF THESE ARE LOW HANGING FRUIT.

THE PAINTING, THE GYMNASIUM.

16,000. BUT.

DO THAT YESTERDAY.

IT'S, IN MY OPINION, HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE HAVE IN THE CONTINGENCY LINE? THE BUDGET? 261,296.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ALREADY HAVE ABOUT 105 COMMITTED, I WILL SAY, AND YES.

SO KEEP IN MIND YOU HAVE COMMITTED PROJECTS BUT ALSO FUND BALANCE.

RIGHT? HOWEVER, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT DEBT ISSUANCE, WHEN WE TALK TO JOE MORROW ABOUT WHAT WE HAD AVAILABLE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ABC CONTINGENCY, WHICH IS THAT NUMBER THAT WE JUST SAID, KEEP IN MIND, THOSE DOLLARS THAT WE DIDN'T SPEND LAST YEAR FOR THESE PROJECTS ARE IN SAVINGS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SPEND IT.

SO YES, WE CAN STILL HIT THAT FUND BALANCE OR THIS CONTINGENCY ITEM, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO HIT THE FUND BALANCE EXCESSIVELY BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN'T PAY YOUR DEBT ISSUANCE PAYMENT.

CORRECT. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT WE'VE GOT TO HAVE THAT DEBT ISSUANCE PAYMENT IF YOU GO OUT FOR DEBT.

SO IF WE DECIDE TO GO OUT FOR DEBT, IN MY OPINION WE WORK BACKWARDS.

FIND OUT THE ITEMS YOU WANT TO GO OUT TO DEBT FOR.

IF ANYTHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN CHECKED OFF ON THAT.

THEN WE COME BACK TO THE FUND BALANCE KNOWING THERE'S A NUMBER WE CAN'T.

THERE'S A THRESHOLD WE CAN'T SURPASS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE ANY PROBLEMS FOR THE DEBT.

IF YOU GO OUT FOR DEBT, THAT'S THE WAY I WOULD SAY SO.

I KNOW IT'S PRESENTED LIKE THIS.

MAYBE IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR US TO GO BACK TO TALK ABOUT PERHAPS NUMBER SEVEN OR WHATEVER, AND THEN WORK OUR WAY BACK TO SIX.

I DON'T KNOW WHY IS THE.

YOU KNOW, WHY IS IT AT AT THE SOCCER FIELD THAT THEY'RE THEY HAVE THE ADHD ISSUE ON THE SIDEWALK WHERE THAT DOOR OPENS AND BLOCKS THE SIDEWALK. AND THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THAT POWER BOX MOVED.

THAT'S NOT IN HERE.

AND THAT'S. SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN ADA THING.

IT MAY BE ON THE ADA PLAN, BUT THE ADA PLAN IS A FIVE YEAR PLAN AND IT'S RANKED IN PRIORITY ORDER.

[01:05:03]

AND SO WE ARE GOING YEAR ONE, YEAR TWO, YEAR 3 OR 4 YEAR FIVE.

SO WHILE I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT ANSWER FOR THAT, I WOULD EXPECT THAT THERE ARE OTHER HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS THAT ARE TAKING PRECEDENCE.

BUT WHEN WE WERE GIVEN ALL OF THOSE ACTION ITEMS, WE WERE TRYING TO SPREAD IT AROUND ALL THE PARKS SO THAT WE WEREN'T JUST ADDRESSING MASTER, DID WE PUT THE LIGHTING? DID WE PUT THE LIGHTING IN HERE FOR THE SOCCER FIELD ON THIS LIST? WE DO NOT HAVE IT ON THIS LIST.

THAT I RECALL. I THOUGHT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT.

YEAH, WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT AT ONE.

I THOUGHT WE SAID WE WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS ABOUT MAYBE ABOUT THREE MEETINGS AGO.

YEAH, IT'S BEEN A WHILE BACK.

SO AND WHAT WE HAVE FROM MOSCOW AND THERE'S OTHER VENDORS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT.

MOSCOW'S HISTORICALLY MORE EXPENSIVE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PARKING NO.

THE LIGHTING FIELD, THE PARKING WE ARE PURSUING HAVE PUT LIGHTING AROUND THE CONCESSION AREA, BY THE WAY, FIELD LIGHTING.

I WILL TELL STUART. THANK YOU.

FIELD LIGHTING IS AROUND.

I'M GOING TO SAY, WELL, THIS IS OVER A YEAR AGO 250 256 WAS OUR QUOTE FROM MOSCOW THAT AROUND THAT IS THAT FOR THE LIGHTS ON THE FAR BACK CORNER.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

THEY USE THE SAME POLES OR YOU HAVE TO ERECT MORE POLES.

WE'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT QUOTE.

I DON'T SEE WHY WE COULDN'T REUSE.

I MEAN, I WAS LOOKING AT THE ONE SET THE OTHER DAY.

I WAS JUST OUT THERE STUDYING KIND OF CURIOSITY, AND THERE WERE LIGHTS GOING BOTH EAST AND WEST.

RIGHT. SO I DON'T AND I THINK THAT LAST SET THEY ONLY FACED TO THE EAST.

SO IT SEEMS LIKE IF WE HAD IT RIGHT, WE CAN GET UPDATED.

QUOTING ON THAT.

AND I DO HAVE NOTES IN HERE FROM WHAT WAS LISTED AS A PRIORITY.

SO THOSE LET'S SEE.

SO MEGAN DO THAT SAME TIME ABOUT THE SOCCER COMPLEX.

WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE SHADES FOR THE THE SOFTBALL FIELDS OVER AT BATES PARK.

WE DID. AND THAT WAS A RECENT AD, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU ALL BECAUSE IT WAS A RECENT AD.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ITEMS IN OUR PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER AND STRATEGIC PLAN.

SO THAT WAS ADDED ON TO THE THINGS THAT WERE ALREADY MENTIONED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE THAT, WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO THE TABLE ALSO.

BUT AGAIN, THAT WAS AN AD.

THAT WAS AN AD AS OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.

SO. YEAH, LIKE TRAVIS SAID ABOUT WALKING BACKWARDS.

I'M COOL WITH THAT. THE OTHER THING, THOUGH, IS LIKE DURING OUR LAST MEETING, I THINK WE HAD A DISCUSSION ON MAINTENANCE VERSUS OTHER ITEMS, AND I THINK WE DECIDED THAT MAINTENANCE IS LIKE, WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A REC CENTER, THAT SOMETHING'S NOT WORKING.

SO EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE WORKING TO PAR OR BEYOND THAT ACTUALLY.

SO ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE THAT'S IN YELLOW OR SOMETHING THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON, I'M ALL FOR PRIORITIZING WITH MAINTENANCE BEING THE OBJECTIVE AND THEN JUST MAKING SURE WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ITEM K, THOSE ARE OPTIONS, RIGHT? YES. THAT'S NOT MAINTENANCE.

NO. YEAH. BUT I MEAN LIKE THE FIVE BULLET POINTS.

RIGHT. SO THAT'S YOUR LEASE OPTION LIKE BEYOND BLUE POOLS THE 88.

THAT IS A LESSER COMPONENT THAN WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY.

RIGHT. AND VORTEX I WOULD SAY IS PROBABLY PROBABLY I MEAN THEY'RE ACTIVATING SOME AREAS THAT WE HAVE HAD SHUT DOWN FOR.

I'M NOT SURE THERE WAS A UNIT OVER THE LAZY RIVER THAT HAS NOT BEEN FUNCTIONING LIKE IT'S BEEN CAPPED.

AND SO THAT COMPONENT, ARE YOU WORKING TO THAT PAGE? OKAY. PERFECT. WE'LL GIVE YOU A VISUAL OF THAT.

BUT AND THEN TO THE LONE STAR RECREATION IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT VENDOR, DIFFERENT APPLICATION.

I JUST WAS CONFIRMING THAT I MEAN THAT'S WHAT I READ IT I JUST MAKING SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.

SO I GUESS TONIGHT WE'RE NOT REALLY TRYING TO PRIORITIZE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

IT'S PRETTY MUCH JUST.

KILL HIM, COME BACK LATER AND DISCUSS ITEMS OR I MEAN, I THINK IT'S DEPENDENT UPON WHETHER WE WANT TO TAKE OUT DEBT, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PRIORITIZE.

YEAH. SO I'M WITH JOHN.

I'M ON THE MOWER TRAILER, SKID STEER, WATER.

WELL, PUMP. OH, YEAH.

THOSE THINGS ARE.

THAT SHOULD BE DONE.

I'M NOT SURE WE SHOULD COME OUT OF OUR FUND HERE, BUT.

YEAH. UM, WE NEED TO CHECK THOSE BOXES BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE YELLOW.

I'M WITH DR. JACKSON.

WE GOT TO. I THINK WE GOT TO ADDRESS THE NATATORIUM COMPONENT.

[01:10:04]

UM, I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT A HIGHER END VERSION.

THAT MAY HAVE TO COME AFTER OUT OF DEBT SERVICES.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING EARLIER WE MAY HAVE TO GO IN THE INVERSE TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO FIRST THERE AND THEN COME BACK AND LOOK AND SEE WHAT IF WE HAVE ANY WIGGLE ROOM STILL LEFT IN THE.

YEAH. I'M INTERESTED IN.

JUST SPEAKING FOR MYSELF.

THE THING WE DISCUSSED EARLIER.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I THINK IT WAS NUMBER FOUR, BUT THE FREEDOM PART PASSIVE AREA TRYING TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE ARE WOULD BE WITH A BRIDGE.

WHEN I TALKED ABOUT THE TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

AGAIN, THAT MAY BE BECAUSE OF THE COST ESPECIALLY.

I MEAN, I'M JUST RANDOMLY GUESSING HERE.

WE'RE TALKING EASILY SIX FIGURES AND PROBABLY WELL INTO HALF $1 MILLION.

AGAIN, PROBABLY SOMETHING TO LOOK TOWARDS.

A DEBT SERVICES PROJECT.

SAME THING WITH ABIGAIL ARIAS PARK.

I SEE THE PRICE TAG OF 5.5.

SEEMS A LITTLE HIGH OF ME, BUT IT MAY BE.

AND AGAIN, WITH A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS, I'M JUST SAYING WE BUILT LAKESIDE LAKESIDE AND I KNOW INFLATION'S GONE OFF THE RAILS.

YES. AND WE CUT BACK ON THE COMMUNITY AMENITIES.

RIGHT. AND SO I'M JUST AND AND Y'ALL HAVE DONE AND I STILL LOVE IT.

AND SO AGAIN RIGHT I TOTALLY AGREE.

YOU SET THE PRICE.

WE WORK WITHIN THE PARAMETERS WE'RE GIVEN.

BUT I DO THINK THAT MAYBE, YOU KNOW I DON'T WANT TO I MEAN I'M GOING TO THROW A NUMBER OUT HERE LESS THAN HALF THAT, YOU KNOW, 2.5 OR SOMETHING AROUND THERE WHERE AGAIN, I KNOW WE'RE GETTING MORE TOWARDS THE DEBT SERVICES BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE THAT IN FUND BALANCE.

HOW ABOUT I READ THAT AGENDA ITEM.

WE JUST START TALKING ABOUT THAT.

OKAY. I MEAN, I MEAN, I'M I'M TRYING TO DO DISCUSSION.

I MEAN, I'LL DO IT THE WAY YOU WANT TO DO IT.

THAT'S FINE. NO, NO THAT'S FINE.

FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I DO LEAN TOWARDS FIXING THE NATATORIUM.

WE INVEST A LOT IN OUR REC CENTER, AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT WE HAVE A PRODUCT FOR PEOPLE THAT ISN'T WORKABLE IF WE'RE GOING TO KEEP INVESTING IN IT.

SO I AGREE I THINK I AGREE.

YEAH. YEAH.

GOOD. PUT DUCT TAPE ON ANYTHING.

NO, NO I MEAN I THINK I KNOW JOHN WASN'T HERE THE LAST WEEK.

I'M ABOUT TO CALL YOU MAYOR, BUT LAST TIME WE WENT HERE AND WE DISCUSSED THAT IF WE COULD EXPEDITE THAT BE SOMETHING WE'D LIKE TO LOOK AT.

IS THAT A PROJECT AND THE REASON WHY WE WANT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION TODAY SO WE CAN EXPEDITE THAT MATTER IS HOPEFULLY TO MAY OR JUNE, WE CAN START GETTING THAT PROJECT BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT.

AND IF WE, YOU KNOW.

IT TAKES TIME TO GET THOSE PROJECTS DONE, THAT'S ALL.

YEAH. YES, SIR.

SO UNDER THE TIMELINE OF CHRIS WHITAKER.

UNDER THE TIMELINE, WE WOULDN'T PROBABLY WELL FOR THE MONEY UNTIL THAT MAY JUNE TIME FRAME, WHICH IS WHAT I SEEM RIGHT TO SAY.

I REMEMBER HIM WE HAVING THAT DISCUSSION AND I'M JUST SAYING, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN SET IT UP TO WHERE AND Y'ALL TELL US IF WE CAN OR CAN'T.

YOU HAVE PLANNING, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WHEN THE MONEY, THE CHECK COMES, WE'RE READY TO BREAK GROUND, SO TO SPEAK, YOU KNOW? WELL, CERTAINLY WE CAN KNOW THINGS THAT ARE CONSTRUCTIBLE OR PASSABLE.

WE CAN GO GET QUOTES ON KNOWING THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND BOND FOR THINGS.

SO ON THE STUFF LIKE PARK DESIGN AND ALL THAT, I MEAN, IT'S.

A LOT OF TIME TO DO THAT.

I APPRECIATE YOU BEING REALISTIC WITH US.

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON DEBT ISSUANCE FOR DESIGNATED PROJECTS FOR THE ANGLETON BETTER LIVING CORPORATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 2024.

[7. Discussion and possible action on debt issuance for designated projects for the Angleton Better Living Corporation for fiscal year 2023-2024.]

SINCE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WORKING BACKWARDS, I THINK THAT'S THE APPROPRIATE THING TO DO.

UM, ONE THING THAT I DO WANT TO MENTION, I BELIEVE JOE TALKED ABOUT FOR A DEBT THAT WE COULD GO OUT IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE YEAR, I THINK IT WAS GENERAL FUND. THAT WAS THE SECOND OR THIRD.

ONE THING THAT I DO WANT YOU TO BE COGNIZANT OF, AND THIS IS A TIMING GAME, IS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE NATATORIUM.

YOU WAIT. AND THIS THE NATATORIUM COMPONENT BE INCLUDED ON THAT DEBT SERVICE.

WE ARE NOT GETTING THAT COMPONENT OUT BY NEXT SUMMER.

THAT'S RIGHT. SO.

I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THAT.

BUT WE ONLY HAVE 200 AND SOMETHING THOUSAND CONTINGENCY.

RIGHT. BUT THAT'S WHY I'M CLARIFYING.

I THINK ABC ISSUANCE, WE COULD BE PREPARED BY FIRST QUARTER AND THAT COULD HELP US SIGNIFICANTLY.

[01:15:06]

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT CONFUSING IT WITH THE GENERAL FUND DEBT SERVICE.
