Aug 26, 2024 Keep Angleton Beautiful Commission

ALL RIGHT. START THE MEETING AT 5:30.

[00:00:09]

BACK HOME. QUICK. GOOD EVENING.

BOARD. WELCOME BACK.

LONG TIME. FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU GUYS IN MONTHS, WHICH IS APPROPRIATE.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.

WE'LL START WITH OUR REGULAR AGENDA.

[1. Discussion and possible action to approve the minutes from Keep Angleton Beautiful Commission meeting on April 22, 2024.]

YOU WILL FIND A COPY OF THAT IN YOUR PACKET.

IF YOU HADN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRE REVIEW.

BUT I'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO LOOK THAT OVER.

ONCE SOMEBODY'S ALREADY, WE CAN TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

LET ME READ THEM ALREADY. MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR APRIL 22ND, 2024.

I SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. I ALL THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT.

MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU.

ITEM NUMBER TWO IS DISCUSSION ON KEEP ANGLETON BEAUTIFUL YEAR TO DATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

[2. Discussion on Keep Angleton Beautiful YTD financial statements as of August 22, 2024.]

I WANT TO MAKE THIS MORE OF A REGULAR ITEM TO HELP SHOW THE FINANCIAL SITUATION FOR THE BOARD.

WE ARE COMING TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO THE MAJORITY OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT WILL HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXPENSED, BUT I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THOSE AS WE WRAP UP THE YEAR END. SO YOU'LL SEE ON PAGE SEVEN, THE FIRST ONE IS OUR REVENUE.

SO, A COUPLE MAIN REVENUE STREAMS THAT COME IN FROM THAT.

I WILL POINT OUT THAT THIS ALTHOUGH THIS REPORT WAS RUN EFFECTIVE AUGUST 22ND, SOME OF THE REVENUE DOESN'T GET ALLOCATED UNTIL THE PRIOR MONTH IS CLOSED OUT.

SO EXAMPLE FOR THAT ONE IS, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE TRASH BAG REVENUE IS ABOUT 8500 CURRENTLY.

I CAN TRACK THAT INTERNALLY THROUGH CIVIC REC, WHICH IS OUR SOFTWARE USE AT THE REC CENTER, SO I CAN SEE A MORE SPECIFIC YEAR TO DATE, WHEREAS THOSE FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS DON'T GET CLOSED OUT UNTIL THE 10TH OF THE NEXT MONTH.

SO AUGUST TRUE TRANSACTIONS IN OUR REPORTING SOFTWARE WON'T BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL THAT DATE.

SO WHEN I TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE, I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT.

SO THE FIRST ONE IS THE TRASH BAG REVENUE.

AS I MENTIONED RIGHT NOW YOU'LL SEE IT IS ABOUT 8000.

WE ARE PROJECTING 9000 FOR THAT FOR THIS YEAR.

SO WE ARE ACTUALLY SEEING A GREAT INCREASE FROM WHAT WE BUDGETED EXPECTED THIS YEAR.

PART OF THAT COMING FROM OUR INCREASE IN COSTS THAT WE'RE SELLING THEM FOR, TO RECOUP THE SAME AMOUNT FROM WHAT WE, WE PURCHASED THEM FROM.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'RE STILL SEEING A TREND THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL COMING IN TO PURCHASE THEM.

SO EXCITED THERE, SO IT SHOULD BE ABOUT $2,500 INCREASE AS FAR AS WHAT WE ANTICIPATED FOR THE YEAR.

NEXT LINE ITEM I'LL POINT OUT IS THE CEB DONATIONS.

SO THIS ONE IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE WATER BILL.

CURRENTLY SITTING AT ABOUT 33,000.

WE GET JUST OVER 3000 A MONTH FOR THAT, SO IT STAYS PRETTY STEADY.

AS FAR AS THAT WATER BILL DONATION COMES IN.

SO WE SHOULD BE SITTING AT AROUND 40,000 AT YEAR END.

ONCE THEY CLOSE OUT FOR AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER.

THE OTHER ONE I'LL POINT OUT IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN IS 13,308 12.

THAT ONE IS THE WASTE CONNECTIONS INCOME.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT ONE CURRENTLY SHOWS AN OUTSTANDING OF 1500.

SO WE ANTICIPATE $6,000 FOR THE YEAR FOR THAT.

SO THAT'S $500 ON A REOCCURRING.

THAT IS ONE ITEM THAT I HAVE QUESTIONED TO FINANCE THAT WE WERE MISSING ONE TRANSACTION.

SO WE'RE GETTING THAT ONE CLEARED UP.

BUT WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT TO COME BACK TO HIT THAT 6000 FOR THAT.

AND THE TWO BOTTOM ONES YOU'LL SEE THERE AS FAR AS THE TRANSFER FROM FUND BALANCE, YOU'LL SEE WE BUDGETED 21,000 FOR THAT.

ORIGINALLY THE IDEA FOR THAT WAS THAT WOULD HELP OFFSET THE COST OF THE SIGN THAT WE REPLACED.

SO THIS YEAR, WE REPLACED THE SIGN AT DICKEY PARK.

HOWEVER, WE WILL NOT NEED TO MAKE THAT TRANSFER BASED ON OUR REVENUES COMING IN AND OUR EXPENSES.

WE WILL ACTUALLY NOT BE HITTING OUR FUND BALANCE TO COVER THAT COST, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS, BECAUSE WE'LL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO BUILD OUR FUND BALANCE.

AND THEN THE ONE BELOW THAT TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

THIS WAS ACTUALLY WHEN WE PURCHASED THE SOOFA SIGN, WHICH IS NOW AT LAKESIDE.

THAT WAS A TRANSACTION THAT WAS COMING IN TO HELP COVER THAT COST.

IT WAS FOUND OUT THIS YEAR THAT THAT TRANSACTION DIDN'T STOP.

SO THAT MONEY WILL ACTUALLY GO BACK OUT.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT ONE, EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE A NEGATIVE, BECAUSE IT'S A REVENUE ACCOUNT, IT'S THE WAY THAT IT'S REFLECTIVE.

IT'S ACTUALLY OVER BUDGET.

WE DIDN'T BUDGET ANYTHING.

SO THAT 14,700 WILL ACTUALLY BE TRANSFERRED OUT BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND.

[00:05:05]

JUST A COUPLE TO HIGHLIGHT HERE.

AS I MENTIONED BEFORE COMING TO THE YEAR END.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ONES THAT I DON'T MENTION FEEL FREE TO STOP ME.

I WILL POINT OUT ONE OF THE FIRST ONES IS 13.500.203 UNDER SUPPLIES.

THAT IS APPAREL.

AFTER THIS MEETING, I'LL ACTUALLY GET WITH EACH OF YOU TO CONFIRM SHIRT SIZES.

I'M LOOKING TO MAKE AN ORDER TO SPEND THE REST OF THAT MONEY THIS YEAR TO UPDATE ALL OUR SHIRTS FOR THE BOARD.

GENERAL SUPPLIES IS ANOTHER ONE I'LL POINT OUT.

WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MONEY LEFT OVER THERE, SO I'M GOING TO DO A FINAL YEAR END PURCHASE TO DO SOME PROMOTIONAL SUPPLIES TO HELP SUPPORT YARD OF THE MONTH, BUSINESS OF THE MONTH, AND SOME OF THE GIVEAWAY STUFF THAT WE DO, AND THEN EXPLORE SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO DO A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, AS FAR AS PROVIDING SOME GIVEAWAYS TO THE COMMUNITY FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS AND STUFF.

SO NEXT ONE I'LL TALK ABOUT IS 13.500.406.

IF YOU LOOK AT IT RIGHT NOW, SO AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THAT PARENTHESES TYPICALLY MEANS YOU'VE GONE OVER YOUR BUDGETED AMOUNT.

THAT IS CURRENTLY ACCURATE, AS YOU DO READ THAT, THAT 7633.

THAT IS BECAUSE THE GRANT MONEY HAS NOT BEEN REIMBURSED.

SO THAT WILL NOT BE A NEGATIVE.

ONCE WE GET THAT GRANT MONEY COMING BACK, IT IS JUST OVER $12,000 THAT'LL BE COMING.

SO WE'LL ACTUALLY BE UNDER BUDGET HERE BECAUSE OF THE GRANT.

THAT JUST HAS NOT BEEN REFLECTIVE.

IN THIS ACCOUNT, I'M HOPEFUL TO GET THAT SHOW THAT TRANSACTION FOR THE NEXT ONE.

WHEN WE GO BACK AND THROW WHEN WE SEE IT AGAIN IN OCTOBER.

BEAUTIFICATION IS THE NEXT LINE AFTER THAT ONE.

WE HAVE ABOUT $3,800 LEFT IN THAT.

THE MAJOR ONE TO STILL COME OUT OF THAT IS THE BOX WRAPS, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IN A LITTLE BIT AS WELL.

SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S STILL SOME FUNDING RESERVED IN THAT ONE, IS TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN COVER THE COST FOR THE BOX WRAPS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THOSE OR ANYTHING THAT STANDS OUT THAT YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON? THE MAJORITY OF THE OTHER ONES STAYED THE SAME.

I'LL ACTUALLY POINT OUT ONE MORE.

TRAVEL AND TRAINING, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE DID HAVE BECAUSE THE CONFERENCE WAS VIRTUAL.

I DID ATTEND THAT. SO THAT IS THE ONLY TRANSACTION THAT CAME OUT FOR THAT.

SO ALL THAT WILL GO BACK INTO OUR FUND BALANCE.

ALL SAID AND DONE WITH OUR REVENUES AND OUR EXPENSES, WE DO ANTICIPATE ABOUT 10 TO $12,000 GOING BACK TO FUND BALANCE.

SO OVERALL WAS A GREAT YEAR.

THAT'S GOOD.

QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT.

WELL WE'LL KEEP ON TRUCKING THROUGH.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[3. Discussion on the 2024 Spring Cleanup event recap.]

AND THIS ONE IS DISCUSSION ON 2024 SPRING CLEANUP EVENT RECAP.

SO I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE AN OFFICIAL RECAP.

I KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE A WHILE AGO, BUT THE SPRING CLEANUP IS SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THAT.

SO WE DID BREAK IT DOWN INTO TWO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

OR I SHOULD SAY, I BROKE IT DOWN IN TWO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES TO HIGHLIGHT HERE.

SO THE FIRST SECTION YOU'LL SEE THERE IS AS FAR AS THE SPRING CLEANUP AND THE ACTUAL EVENTS WHERE WE PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COME IN AND DO THEIR DATA SHREDDING, PAINT RECYCLING, THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO HERE ARE SOME OF THE NUMBERS YOU'LL SEE THERE.

WITH VOLUNTEER SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT EVENT.

THEN WE HAVE OUR TIRES RECYCLED WAS 353, WHICH IS A GREAT NUMBER THIS YEAR.

ELECTRONIC RECYCLING WAS OVER 8,000 POUNDS, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE TOP WE'VE HAD THAT I CAN SEE IN YEARS.

DATA SHREDDING IS ABOUT EVEN WHERE WE TYPICALLY SEE IT, ABOUT 6000.

THAT ONE'S STAYING PRETTY CONSISTENT.

SOLID WASTE WAS A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN WE SAW IN THE FALL.

AT ABOUT NINE TONS.

AND THEN EVENT TRAFFIC, WE SAW 259 VEHICLES COME THROUGH FOR THAT ONE.

I WILL SAY, IF YOU ALL REMEMBER FROM THAT ONE BECAUSE THAT ONE IS COUPLED WITH THE ARBOR DAY BUTTERFLY SEED BALL AND TREE GIVEAWAY.

WE HAD A LOT OF DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMERS THAT TIME BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY TREES LEFT OVER THE DAY AFTER THE EVENT, SO WE'RE GOING TO PLAN, HOPEFULLY PLAN FOR THAT FOR THE NEXT EVENTS AS WELL. SO THE REAL ONE I REALLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AS AN INITIATIVE TO TRY TO CONTINUE TO DO MOVING FORWARD IS DOING THE CITYWIDE CLEANUP PORTION OF THE EVENT.

SO THAT'S WHERE OUR VOLUNTEERS COME IN AT ABOUT 7 A.M.

FOR THE EVENTS AND HELP TO GO OUT INTO TOWN AND PICK UP SOME OF THE MAIN THOROUGHFARES.

SO WE ACTUALLY HAD 52 VOLUNTEERS FOR THAT PORTION.

SO AND SO THEY COLLECTED A LITTLE OVER 1,000 POUNDS OF LITTER THROUGHOUT TOWN.

[00:10:06]

IT CONTRIBUTED TO ABOUT 200 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE FOR THAT DAY.

WITH THE TIME THEY CAME, TWO MAIN GROUPS THAT WE HAD COME OUT, A FEW THAT WERE JUST COMMUNITY MEMBERS, BUT MAIN GROUPS WAS LIVE FOURSQUARE. THEIR YOUTH GROUP CAME OUT STRAIGHT UP CAME OUT, AND THEY WERE A BIG PORTION OF THAT.

AND THEN WE ACTUALLY HAD A GROUP FROM WALMART THAT CAME OUT AND THEY HELPED SUPPORT AS WELL.

SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

THEY WERE ABLE TO TACKLE FOUR MAIN AREAS IN ANGLETON.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF BEING ABLE TO PUT THAT ON AND PLAN TO DO SO FOR EACH OF THE ANNUAL EVENTS MOVING FORWARD, SO TOTAL EVENT COST WAS JUST OVER $12,000. VERY SUCCESSFUL.

YEAH. VERY SUCCESSFUL.

YEAH, THIS WAS A REALLY GOOD ONE.

YES. SO IS THERE A REASON WHY THE PAINT'S NOT ON THERE? GREAT CATCH.

THERE IS NOT. THAT IS JUST A STAFFING ERROR.

OH, OKAY. SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO.

THAT IS NOT. IT IS I COULD.

AND THAT'S OKAY.

NO. THANK YOU.

NO. I CAN I'LL SEND OUT A TOTAL ON THAT ONE.

I KNOW THAT IT'S INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.

OF WHAT? THE TOTAL THAT WE PAID FOR THAT.

BUT I'LL GET THE ACTUAL DATA THAT GOES WITH THAT SO I CAN REPORT THAT OUT.

NO. YOU'RE OKAY.

WE'RE ALL HUMAN, RIGHT? CHRISTY JUST SAID I WAS FIRED, SO IT'S FINE.

THAT'S LEGAL. LEGAL COUNSEL.

AND HERE WE ARE. NO.

ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.

DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S PART OF OUR DATA. THAT'S EXACTLY YES.

AND WE LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE IT.

I JUST I UNFORTUNATELY OMITTED IT.

OKAY. PERFECT. THAT'S ALL.

BUT WITH THAT I WILL SAY IT WAS ABOUT DOUBLE WHAT WE SAW THE FIRST GO AROUND.

SO WHAT WE SAW IN THE FALL, IT WAS ABOUT DOUBLE OF THAT.

I OUR TREND RIGHT NOW IS WE ARE TRENDING UP AS FAR AS SOME OF THE INTAKE OF THAT, I'M HOPEFUL THAT IT MAYBE WILL LEVEL OUT.

AND PERSONALLY, MINE IS JUST BECAUSE OF THE COST THAT ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

SO I'M TRYING TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT AVENUES TO BE ABLE TO BRING THAT COST DOWN AND OR GET THAT COST COVERED.

BECAUSE THAT PORTION OF THE EVENT WAS ALMOST $5,000.

WOW. YEAH. SO IT WAS EXPENSIVE FOR THAT GREAT SERVICE.

THE HOPE, TOO, IS THAT AS WE MORE PEOPLE ARE MADE AWARE OF IT, WE EVENTUALLY HAVE THE PAINT.

AND SO THE PAINT THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HOLDING ON TO FOR YEARS WILL START TO DECREASE A LITTLE BIT.

I WILL SAY, AS WE'RE KIND OF TALKING ABOUT IT FOR THE FALL ONE THE LIMIT FOR SPRING WAS 25 PER PERSON THAT COULD COME IN AND WE'VE REDUCED THAT TO TEN TO, TO JUST BE MINDFUL OF THAT, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH WE WANT TO BENEFIT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT EVERYBODY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. AND WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF THE COSTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

SO WE HAVE PUT A LIMIT OF TEN CANS PER PERSON THAT WOULD COME IN.

SO YEAH.

YEAH. YEAH. THEY WERE I MEAN, IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE HOW MUCH PAINT PEOPLE WERE HOLDING ONTO, RIGHT.

YEAH. SO GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

AND AGAIN AS PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT, LIKE WE'VE NOW THE PEOPLE WHO HAD 50 CANS OF PAINT OR 25 FOR THEIR LIMIT BEFORE NO LONGER HAVE THAT.

SO WE SHOULD SEE THAT KIND OF LEVEL OFF.

BUT BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST TWO OFFERINGS AND PEOPLE ARE STARTING JUST HEARING ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY.

WE'RE TRYING TO MITIGATE THAT.

THE OTHER THING WE PLAN TO DO THIS YEAR IS TO PROMOTE MORE OF THE PARTNERSHIPS WE HAVE.

SO WITH KEEP BRAZORIA COUNTY BEAUTIFUL ASSOCIATION AND THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION THEY DO ON THE SECOND SATURDAY OF THE MONTH.

THEY ALSO TAKE PAINT.

IT IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE TAKE.

BUT IT ALSO GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO WEREN'T ABLE TO JUST DROP OFF SOME OF THE PAINT AT OUR EVENT TO HAVE AN ALTERNATE LOCATION.

AND THAT ONE IS NO COST TO US OTHER THAN THE REOCCURRING FEE THAT WE INCUR FOR THAT THAT PARTNERSHIP.

SO THAT'S PRETTY LEVEL ONE.

SO TRYING TO PUSH MORE OF THAT AND BOOST THAT I THINK WILL BE HELPFUL TOO.

SO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR THINGS YOU CAUGHT.

YOU'RE GOOD.

YOU GOT IT GOING ON.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE'LL GO INTO ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

[4. Discussion and possible action on the 2024 TxDOT traffic controller cabinet art wrap submissions. ]

SO YOU GUYS ARE ALL WELL AWARE OF THIS ONE.

SO EACH YEAR WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO BE DILIGENT IN GOING OUT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RAPS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

[00:15:01]

AS THE TWO THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED FOR THIS TIME.

SO SUBMISSIONS HAD GONE OUT TO ALL PREVIOUS INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD SUBMITTED ART.

WE REACHED OUT TO A FEW DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS AND PROVIDED EMAILS OUT TO EVERYTHING WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST.

AND SO WE'RE CURRENTLY RECEIVING THOSE SUBMISSIONS.

THAT DEADLINE IS THIS FRIDAY FOR THOSE TO BE RECEIVED IN.

ONCE I RECEIVE THOSE IN, YOU'LL SEE, BASED ON THE TIMELINE THAT'S ESTABLISHED HERE, I'M GOING TO SEND THAT INFORMATION OUT TO THE BOARD.

I WILL LET YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE WE DO THROUGH FACEBOOK, AS I'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT.

HEY, IT'S BEEN SENT.

I JUST ASK THAT YOU CAN RANK THOSE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

I RECOGNIZE COMING INTO A HOLIDAY WEEKEND, BUT AS LONG AS WE CAN STAY PRETTY CLOSE TO THAT, THAT WILL BE HELPFUL TO TRY TO GET THOSE WRAPPED THIS YEAR.

AND SO THAT'S OUR GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO DO SO IS GET THAT OUT.

SO YOU SHOULD RECEIVE THAT AGAIN.

THAT DEADLINE IS FRIDAY.

SO ONCE I RECEIVE THEM, I'LL SEND ALL THE SUBMISSIONS TO THE BOARD WITH THE RANKING PROCEDURES FOR THAT.

YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH RANK IT AND TO SEND IT BACK TO ME.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN DECIDE WHAT THOSE TWO SPECIFIC ONES ARE.

AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

PART OF THE REASON FOR ASKING FOR THAT SHORT TURNAROUND TIME IS I HAVE TO SUBMIT AN AGENDA ITEM FOR COUNCIL FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO PROVE IT.

I'M LOOKING TO GET THAT DONE FOR THE SEPTEMBER 10TH ONE.

THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS AS WELL, SO IT'S TYPICALLY WHEN WE CAN GET A CONSENT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO APPROVE AND THEN GET THOSE WRAPPED PRIOR TO.

SO. BUT I WANT TO SEE IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT OR COMMENTS CONCERNS.

SOUNDS GOOD. OKAY.

BUT THE BIGGEST THING ON THAT I WANT TO ALSO BRING OUT IS TYPICALLY IN THE PAST, I'M TRYING TO CLEAN UP SOME OF THE PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH.

THAT IF THE BOARD IS IN AGREEANCE WITH THIS WE WOULD JUST GO BASED ON THE TOP RANKING ONES THAT WE GO THROUGH.

SO THE BOARD RANKS THEM, AND THEN STAFF WOULD HAVE THE, THE PERMISSION TO GO AND USE THE TOP RANKED ONES BASED ON HOW MANY WE DECIDE TO WRAP.

SO THIS YEAR WE KNOW THERE'S TWO.

WOULD YOU ALL BE OKAY? WITH ONCE YOU SUBMIT ALL THOSE IN, WE AND WE DETERMINE THE TOP TWO, WE JUST CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD.

THAT'S FINE. OKAY.

CAN I HAVE A MOTION FOR THAT? JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN AGREEANCE, THAT THERE IS A SUGGESTED ONE AS FAR AS RECOMMENDATION GOES, BUT JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS GOOD WITH THAT.

SO MAKE A MOTION THAT AFTER THE ART IS SUBMITTED, THAT AND THE BOARD HAS CHOSEN THEIR TOP OPTIONS, THAT THE CITY STAFF CAN CHOOSE WHICH ONE OF THE TOP TO CHOOSE FROM TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ARTWORK.

OKAY. HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE.

SECOND. YOU DID GOOD.

YEAH. I SECOND THE MOTION.

I GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT? OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED.

ALL RIGHT. GREAT.

SO AGAIN, KEEP A LOOKOUT IN YOUR EMAIL.

HOPEFULLY SOMETIME FRIDAY THAT YOU'LL RECEIVE THAT WITH ALL THE INFORMATION SUBMISSIONS, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY MIGHT BE A LINK TO LIKE A DROPBOX TO OPEN UP.

BUT YOU'LL HAVE THE RANKING CRITERIA AND ALL THAT TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH AND DO WAS DONE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO PER LEGAL, DIDN'T HAVE TO GO OUT FOR AN RFP THIS TIME.

JUST BASED ON THE AMOUNT.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER OF A PROCESS FOR US.

SO. ALL RIGHT.

AS WE KEEP ON MOVING FORWARD, THIS IS THE MOMENT I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE CAME HERE FOR FOR TONIGHT.

SO WHAT YOU'LL HAVE BEFORE YOU FOR ITEM NUMBER FIVE IS DISCUSSION ON POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE KEEP ANGLETON BEAUTIFUL STRATEGIC PLAN.

[5. Discussion and possible action on Keep Angleton Beautiful Strategic Plan. ]

WHERE DO WE SEE OUR FUTURE GOING? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP SOME STRATEGIC ACTION ITEMS? SO YOU'LL SEE THAT HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE PAGES STARTING ON PAGE 14.

I'VE KIND OF OUTLINED THE SIMILAR FORMAT TO WHAT WAS IN PREVIOUSLY DONE, BUT IT OUTLINES SOME VERY SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WERE TAKEAWAYS FROM THAT BOARD RETREATS AND SOME ITEMS WE IDENTIFIED AND HAVE TALKED ABOUT OVER THE PAST YEAR A LITTLE OVER THAT TIME.

SO THESE ARE TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THE GOALS THAT COME WITH IT.

[00:20:03]

SO FIRST GOAL IS EXPANDED AND ENHANCE OUR BEAUTIFICATION INITIATIVES.

SO EACH ONE OF THE GOALS THAT COME AFTER THIS WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT OBJECTIVE THAT GOES WITH IT.

AND THEN VERY SPECIFIC ACTION ITEMS THAT ARE ADDRESSED THERE.

I'M NOT GOING TO READ THROUGH ALL OF THEM.

I'LL GIVE YOU GUYS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THOSE.

HOPEFULLY YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRIOR TO, BUT THE FIRST ONE WAS EXPAND AND ENHANCE BEAUTIFICATION INITIATIVES.

THE SECOND ONE IS TO STRENGTHEN EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH.

THE THIRD ONE WAS TO IMPROVE FUNDING AND RESOURCE ACQUISITION.

A FIFTH ONE WAS TO FOSTER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

AND THE LAST ONE WAS MARKETING AND AWARENESS.

AND, SUZANNE, I'M GOING TO CALL MYSELF OUT ON THIS ONE.

SO DON'T WORRY.

I'M JUST KIDDING.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I DID NOTICE ON HERE AND IT'S IS UNDERNEATH THE EXPAND AND ENHANCE ONE OF THE THINGS I FORGOT TO PUT ON HERE WAS THE THE BOX WRAPS.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO ADD IN HERE IS THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS CONTINUING THAT PROGRAM.

SO I WANT TO ENSURE THAT'S PART OF THAT GOAL AS TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO STAY DILIGENT WITH THAT PROCESS.

AND OUTLINED SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE OF WE KNOW ONES WE'VE DONE BEFORE, ONES WE HAVEN'T DONE, AND HOW THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD.

SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND ADDING.

BY NO MEANS DOES THIS HAVE TO BE APPROVED TONIGHT.

THIS IS JUST OUR OUR FIRST STEP, THAT PUTTING THE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECTED DURING OUR BOARD RETREATS AND OVER THE YEAR TO BE ABLE TO PUT OUR ACTION PLAN IN PLACE FOR THE UPCOMING NEXT TWO YEARS.

SO, YEAH, THAT WAS ONE OF THE ONES WHEN I WENT THROUGH, I WAS LIKE, WOW, I DID AN AGENDA ITEM ON IT AND I DIDN'T PUT IT IN THE PLAN.

I NOTICED THAT I'M JUST KIDDING.

I KNEW SOMEBODY WOULD. SO.

HEY. SO THOUGHTS? COMMENTS. SO CAN WE GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION FOR THAT? I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION.

WE CAN IF WE JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT ONE ADDITION.

BECAUSE THE OTHER THINGS I WILL SAY, YOU'LL SEE SOME THINGS THAT ARE NOT LABELED IN HERE.

AND I THINK THIS IS THE WORK IN PROGRESS PART THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUNDAMENTAL PIECE OF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU ALL AGREED TO, AND THEN THE TIMELINE AND THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES AND ALL THAT STUFF IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, BECAUSE WE MAY ADD SOME THINGS TO IT AS FAR AS WHO'S RESPONSIBLE, WHETHER IT BE STAFF OR MAYBE WE DEVELOP AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION OR PARTNERSHIP WITH AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION, AND THAT'S A COLLABORATION EFFORT.

RIGHT. AND THEN AS WE TRACK, OBVIOUSLY THE OTHER ONES ARE THE PROGRESS AND ALL AFTERWARDS IS ONCE THIS ACTUALLY GOES INTO PLACE.

SO BUT YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS TO MAKE SURE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT ENCOMPASSES WHAT THE BOARD THINKS IS THE DIRECTION MOVING FORWARD.

BUT IN THE END, YES, IF WE AGREE ON IT, LIKE, DO WE HAVE A TIMELINE ON WHEN WE'RE GOING TO START, LIKE DOCUMENTING THESE ACTIONS? SO MINE WOULD BE EITHER OCTOBER 1ST OR JANUARY 1ST IS MY TWO THOUGHTS THAT GO WITH IT.

IF WE'RE READY TO ROCK AND ROLL WITH IT AND HAVE THE THINGS THAT WE FEEL ARE NECESSARY TO BE IN HERE, AND AGAIN, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S SET IN STONE, THAT WE CAN'T COME BACK AND IDENTIFY SOMETHING THAT REALLY SHOULD FIT AND FILLS IN WITH ONE OF THOSE CATEGORIES.

BECAUSE WITHIN THE GOAL PIECE, THAT'S WHY IT'S BROKEN DOWN, IS WE MIGHT FIND SOMETHING THAT IS AN ACTION ITEM THAT FITS PERFECT.

AND JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT THE BOX WRAPS.

LIKE I OMITTED THAT.

BUT THAT IS AN ACTION ITEM THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE THE INITIATIVES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.

SO YEAH, BUT MOST OF THE THINGS I THINK SHOULD CAPTURE A LOT OF THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF THOSE IS ONE OF THE BIG ONES.

THE VERY TOP, YOU'LL SEE, IS LIKE THE MARKET ANNUAL MARKETING PLAN.

I REALLY WANT TO DEVELOP AN OPPORTUNITY TO HIGHLIGHT A OR PROGRAMS, B BETTER CAPTURE WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH PICTURES, PROMOTION OF THINGS.

WE REALLY TALKED ABOUT EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.

HOW DO WE GET INTO THE SCHOOLS AND WHAT ARE THE PROGRAMS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE? HOW DO WE EDUCATE THE APARTMENTS AND THE RESIDENTS ABOUT RECYCLING AND DIFFERENT PROGRAMS? THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG ONES FOR ME WAS, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO WE ENHANCING THAT OF WHAT IS OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE.

WHAT IS, YOU KNOW, FLIERS WHEN DOES STUFF GO OUT AND ALL THAT.

SO BUT YEAH, THERE'S I MEAN, THAT'S ONE OF THE ONES LOOKING AT FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT OUR BUTTERFLY GARDENS, LIKE, HOW CAN WE ADD TO THAT? SO YOU'LL SEE THAT ON THE BOTTOM OF PAGE 14 IS AN ENHANCE OUR CURRENT BUTTERFLY GARDEN VEGETATION, DEVELOP SIGNAGE TO IDENTIFY AND EDUCATE SPECIES WITHIN BUTTERFLY

[00:25:04]

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH IS TALKING ABOUT PARTNERING WITH THE SCHOOLS HOSTING A COMMUNITY RECYCLING WORKSHOP PARTNERING WITH WASTE CONNECTIONS.

LIKE WE HAVE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY WITH WHAT THEY PROVIDE OF FINDING DIFFERENT WAYS TO TAKE THE RESOURCE THAT THEY'VE ALREADY DEVELOPED AND JUST FUNNEL THOSE ALONG.

YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT OF THEY TELL YOU WHAT WE CAN RECITE OR WHAT THEY CAN RECYCLE.

WELL, WE'RE AN OUTLET TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER ONE.

PRESENT AN ANNUAL REPORT TO COUNCIL WAS ANOTHER ONE WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT.

SO HAVING A PLAN THAT ONCE A YEAR WE GO THROUGH AND WE TALK EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE AND WE ACTUALLY PRESENT TO THE COUNCIL.

SO THEY HEAR ALL THE DIFFERENT INITIATIVES AND GET THAT IDEA OF WHAT IS OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT, AND WHAT HAVE WE DONE OVER THE PAST YEAR? SO IS THIS WHERE WE WOULD INCLUDE THE LITTER INDEX? WOULD THAT BE INCLUDED IN OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING? I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY INCLUDE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE LIKE REGULAR THINGS THAT WE DO.

YEAH. A STRATEGIC PLAN IS MORE OF LIKE WHERE YOU'RE YOU'RE CONTINUING TO FOCUS.

FOCUS YOUR GROWTH. RIGHT.

THERE'S THINGS THAT WE MAY ALREADY BE DOING.

SO AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE LIKE THE BUTTERFLY SEED BALL EVENT.

RIGHT. IS WE WE'RE ALREADY PLANNING TO DO THAT.

BUT IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, WE MIGHT HAVE IDENTIFIED SOMETHING THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THAT TO MAKE IT BETTER.

RIGHT. WE ALREADY KNOW OUR STAPLES, AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THOSE.

OKAY. BUT IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

IT WOULD TIE BACK TO.

RIGHT. SO EXAMPLE WOULD BE TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT PAGE ONE OF THE ONES THAT'S ON HERE IS ABOUT ENHANCING, LIKE THE AWARENESS OF WHO WE ARE AND LIKE, WHAT WE'VE DONE. SO TALKING ABOUT, LIKE AWARDS AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT, THAT SHOWS THAT WE'RE BEING DILIGENT IN WHAT WE'RE DOING.

AND HERE'S WHERE WE'RE GETTING DATA.

ANOTHER ONE OF MY GO TO IS UNDER ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY IS REDEFINE ZONES.

SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE AS ANGLETON IS GROWING AND THE ZONES WE CURRENTLY USE PROBABLY AREN'T THE MOST CONDUCIVE OR CAPTURE ALL THE AREAS.

SO WE NEED TO REDEFINE THOSE TO BE ABLE TO BETTER SUPPORT OUR STAFF.

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE THINGS WITHIN THOSE THAT WILL BE CAPTURED WITHIN IT.

SO. ANYTHING WE'RE MISSING.

ANY THOUGHTS? LOOKS GOOD. DO WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT WE GOT HERE.

PLUS THE BOX WRAPS.

PLUS WHAT? THE BOX WRAPPED.

YEAH, I THINK IT'S GOOD.

YEAH. WE HAD A LONG LIST FOR YOU.

THAT'S WHY IT'S A TWO YEAR PLAN, RIGHT? GOOD ANSWER. AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH IT, I WAS LIKE, OH, WOW, THIS IS NOT ONE YEAR.

THIS IS TWO YEARS. YEAH, BUT IDEALLY I'D PERSONALLY PERSONALLY THAT I WOULD PREFER A 2 TO 3 YEAR PLAN BECAUSE SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, IT'S GOING TO BE PLANNING PHASE AND DEVELOPING IT BEFORE IT ACTUALLY KICKSTARTS.

SO A LOT OF THE NEWER ITEMS THAT ARE ON HERE, IT'S GOING TO BE A DEVELOPMENT OF THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, OR SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE TIED TO WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING.

IT, I MEAN, AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE IDENTIFY AND PROMOTE FOR EVENTS OR PROGRAMS PROVIDING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.

WE ALREADY HAVE TWO OF THEM.

MY IDEA FOR THAT ONE WAS BEING CONSISTENT WITH IT IS PROVIDING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES TO OUR COMMUNITY AND WE HAVE TO BE INTENTIONAL.

SO THAT'S HOLDING US TO HAVING THAT CITY WIDE CLEANUP, RIGHT? AND BUT IT'S SO SOME WILL BE WHAT'S THE DATE OF OUR FALL CLEANUP? NOVEMBER 2ND.

OKAY. SO STANDARDIZE THOSE ONES.

THEY ARE ALWAYS GOING TO FALL AROUND ARBOR DAY.

SO TEXAS ARBOR DAY IS THE FIRST FRIDAY IN NOVEMBER.

OKAY. SO THAT'S WHEN THE TREE PLANTING IS IS THAT FRIDAY.

AND WE'LL DO THE REC AND DO 8 TO 11.

YEP. STILL GOING TO DO IT. YES, MA'AM.

THAT WAS PERFECT. YEP.

AND THEN THAT'LL BE THE NEXT ONE.

AND THEN THE SPRING ONE WILL ALWAYS FALL ON ARBOR DAY WEEKEND.

OKAY. AND SO YOU'LL HAVE THE SEED BALL GIVEAWAY ON THE FRIDAY.

AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THE SPRING CLEANUP.

OKAY. AND NEXT YEAR YOU'LL HAVE A EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES PART OF IT TOO.

[00:30:05]

A LITTLE MORE INVOLVED IS THERE.

DO YOU KNOW BECAUSE WE BRING THEM IN FOR THE BIG HEAVY TRASH PICKUP.

WOULD THEY BE WILLING TO TAKE THE PAINT FOR US? POTENTIALLY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WHAT DEGREE THEY DO AS FAR AS HANDLING PAINT ON A REGULAR, BUT WE CAN ASK THE QUESTION.

YEAH, BECAUSE I WAS THINKING ABOUT I MEAN, I LIKE DANIEL COMING OVER, BUT IF IT COULD SAVE US MONEY AND IF WE COULD HAVE WASTE CONNECTIONS, POSSIBLY PICK UP SOME OF THAT PAINT BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY HERE.

YEAH. YES.

THEY'D BRING A SEPARATE CONTAINER, BUT I MEAN, IT'D JUST BE DUMPING THE PAINT AND THE.

AND THE CONTAINER.

YEAH. NO, I CAN DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO THEM AND SEE WHAT OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE.

GREAT SUGGESTION.

I'M ALL OPEN FOR FINDING WAYS TO MAKE THAT CHEAPER BECAUSE.

OH FOR SURE. THE SPRING WAS EYE OPENING, RIGHT? YEAH. SO I'M PRESUMING THAT A LOT OF THE ONES WHO WERE ALSO BRINGING PAINT WERE PAINTERS, BUSINESSES WHO DID PAINTING, WHO DO PAINTING. YEAH, SOME OF THEM MAYBE.

YEAH. BUT THERE WAS ALSO PEOPLE THAT I MEAN, A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS.

YES. YOU COULD TELL THEY WEREN'T. I MEAN, I'LL BE FULL TRANSPARENCY.

I HAVE TEN IN MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW THAT EVERY DAY I WALK BY AND GO, MAN, I GOT TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.

AND THEY SAID, NO, YOU CAN ONLY BRING THIS.

YEAH. SO YEAH, HE WAS POLITE ABOUT IT.

BUSINESS OWNER. YEAH.

AND IT'S I MEAN, IT'S THE SAME TOKEN FOR THE TIRES.

THE REASON WHY THE LIMIT ON THE TIRES IS THAT'S WHAT BUSINESSES WERE STARTING TO DO.

OH, YEAH. BUT THE INTENT OF IT ISN'T FOR THAT.

I MEAN, IT'S THE SAME, I WOULD SAY, FOR HEAVY TRASH.

THERE IS ONES THAT COME THROUGH AND I'M LIKE, YOU DEMOED A HOUSE.

YEAH. LIKE, YOU CAN TELL THAT'S PRETTY APPARENT.

AND I MEAN, BUT THEY I MEAN FOR THEM THAT ONE'S A LITTLE BIT HARDER BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THEY CAN GET RID OF.

LIKE A THREE HOUR WINDOW.

DOESN'T GIVE THEM MUCH TIME TO DO THAT.

IT JUST SAVED THEM LIKE, OH, IT'S SO CONVENIENT.

I'M DEMOING A HOUSE THIS WEEK.

I'M JUST GOING TO WAIT TO DO THAT.

RIGHT? SO BUT YEAH, YOU ALWAYS HAVE THAT.

YEP. SO, DO YOU THINK OR ARE WE DO WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE.

IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S READY? YEAH. SO I MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE PRESENTED 20 2526 STRATEGIC PLAN TO HELP GUIDE THE COMMISSION'S EFFORTS OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. AND I SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL OPPOSED.

SAME SIGN. AND MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU. HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY NOMINATIONS FOR BUSINESS IN YARD OF THE MONTH FOR SEPTEMBER? I HAVE NOT. THEY'VE BEEN A LITTLE LIGHT AND WE'VE REALLY DONE NORTH SIDE.

WE GET THE SOUTH SIDE. WE REALLY NEED TO GET ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN.

OKAY. AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND, BUT I'M GONNA NEED YOUR HELP THIS WEEK BECAUSE I'VE GOT A LOT OF STUFF ON MY PLATE.

I'LL TRY TO MAKE SOME EFFORTS TO GO OUT AND DO THAT THIS WEEK.

WHOEVER'S LISTENING, SEND IN A NOMINATION.

YEAH, PLEASE.

I WAS JUST THINKING I WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, AND GOING THROUGH THIS TOO MANY TIMES, I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY.

DID WE DO THE HANGOUT RIGHT UP THE ROAD? RIGHT UP THE ROAD. THAT IS ONE OF OUR THINGS FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO HANG OUT.

IS IT A RESTAURANT? IT'S MY NEW PLACE.

MY PLACE? OH.

OH, YEAH. YEAH.

OH, YEAH.

WELL, WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN? YEAH. UNDER ENGAGE COMMUNITY, I HAVE DEVELOPED SPECIFIC YARD IN THE BUSINESS OF THE MONTH CRITERIA AND IMPLEMENT STANDARD NOMINATION PROCESS.

SO THAT WILL TIE INTO MULTIPLE OF OUR, SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS GETTING LIKE A NOMINATION FORM OUT THERE THAT IS LIKE IS VISIBLE PROMOTING THAT SOCIAL MEDIA LETTING LIKE ON A REGULAR EACH MONTH WHEN WE'RE DOING IT IS WE'VE HAD VERY FEW BUT SUBMIT YOUR NOMINATIONS.

OH YEAH. SO, WELL THERE'S STILL PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL TRYING TO CLEAN UP THEIR YARD FROM OR HAVE JUST GIVEN UP BECAUSE IT'S NOT THEIR LIKE NEXT YEAR.

THE CITY REALLY DID A GREAT JOB COMING IN HERE.

IT REALLY DID.

THANK YOU. SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU I SECOND THAT.

SO I'D LIKE TO ASK SOMETHING.

AND KYLE HAD EXPLAINED TO ME A WHILE BACK, YOU KNOW THE GATEWAY WE'VE BEEN GOING TO THE DOCTOR AND STUFF IN HOUSTON STUFF.

SO, WE COME IN DIFFERENT WAYS WITH MY HUSBAND.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU COME ON 288 WITH THE HEARST BUILDING, IT IS SUCH, SO BEAUTIFUL.

I MEAN, JUST COMING IN AND THEN THERE'S LIKE AN ARBY'S IN 44.

[00:35:05]

I WENT THERE AND I KNOW IT'S CITY AND COUNTY, BUT IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOREVER, AND WE'VE REALLY GOT TO GET WITH SOMEBODY TO WORK TOGETHER TO GET IT CLEANED UP. NOW, NOT ALL OF IT'S BAD, BUT THERE'S.

BUT THERE'S SOME THAT I KNOW, YOU KNOW.

SO TRASH AND THE CARS.

THE GREAT THING IS.

SO I THINK THERE'S TWO THINGS IN HERE I'LL POINT OUT.

ONE OF THEM IS WE TALKED ABOUT COMMITTEE.

SO ACTUALLY ESTABLISHING THOSE AND THEN ONE COULD BE PARTNERED WITH THIS IS DEVELOPING A TASK FORCE THAT WOULD COLLABORATE WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN HELP ENFORCE AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

YOU COME IN, YOU HAVE FIRST BAPTIST CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, Y'ALL'S BEAUTIFUL SUBDIVISION, THE PARK, AND THEN IT'S LIKE, YEAH.

AND I THINK SOME OF IT TOO IS I MEAN, WE TALK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

IT ONLY HAS SO MANY STAFF, RIGHT? SURE. AND IF WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE EVEN EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES, SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW ORDINANCES ARE IN PLACE THAT RESTRICT THEM FROM DOING CERTAIN THINGS.

IF THEY IF THEY CAN'T CLEAN UP.

I, ME AND MANY OTHERS WOULD HELP THEM.

YES. WELL, AND THAT WOULD BE THE SECONDARY PART.

RIGHT. SO, WITH THAT TASK FORCE, MAYBE THAT'S ONE OF THE INITIATIVES THAT WE START IS HERE ARE SOME OF THE RESOURCES THAT YOU CAN REACH OUT TO BE ABLE TO DO, LIKE TO GO OUT AND TO CLEAN UP, LIKE IF THEY AREN'T ABLE TO DO SO.

AND MAYBE WE PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO DO THAT.

RIGHT. BUT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW, LIKE IS IT AVAILABLE? WHO DO THEY CONTACT? AND SO I THINK SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE IDENTIFIED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN WILL HELP WITH THAT.

AND BUILD ON THAT. SO, YEAH.

THANK YOU MADAM CITY COUNCILWOMAN.

I MEAN, DO YOU KNOW HOW FAR YOU FIND OUT HOW YOU KNOW WHEN THAT WILL POSSIBLY EVEN BE REZONED, IF EVER SINCE THAT JUST THAT STRIP IS COUNTY AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE VOLUNTARILY. THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE THE RESIDENTS, AND OWNERS WOULD HAVE TO ASK TO BE ANNEXED TO THIS, TO THE CITY. WOW.

YEAH. PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO PAY CITY TAXES.

NO. EXACTLY.

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT'S JUST A GRANDFATHERED IN THING? OR YOU CAN FIND OUT IF YOU DON'T.

YEAH, WELL, NO, IT'S.

SINCE THEY'RE ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND NOT WANTING TO BE DEVELOPED, YOU KNOW.

I SEE WITH CITY.

YEAH. AND TO LIKE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO CREATE A ROADWAY OR ANYTHING.

RIGHT. BECAUSE WE HAVE THE COUNTY HAS ENOUGH EASEMENTS ON BOTH SIDES.

ARE THESE OWNERS OR RENTERS.

ARE THESE BOTH? YEAH, BOTH. AND RENTERS EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO.

THE RENTERS ACTUALLY HAVE NO SAY IN IT.

NO. IT'S ALL IT'S THE OWNER.

BUT IF THAT'S NOT SOMEONE'S HOMESTEAD, THEN THEY STILL HAVE MORE OF A SAY.

I DON'T KNOW. YEAH.

THE RENTERS DON'T HAVE.

NO, IT'S ALL PROPERTY OWNER.

IT'S ALL THE OWNERS.

THAT'S NOT EVEN THEIR HOMESTEAD.

DO THEY STILL HAVE AS MUCH OF A SAY SO? THEY DON'T PAY CITY TAXES RIGHT THERE? NO. OKAY. SO WOULD IT BE THE COUNTY THAT WOULD ENFORCE THE ORDINANCES? YES, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE COUNTY'S ORDINANCE, WHICH THEY HAVE A LOT MORE FREEDOM IN THE COUNTY.

YES, BUT IN THE COUNTRY.

YEAH, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE WOULDN'T IT SHOULDN'T DISCOURAGE US FOR PROVIDING EDUCATION AND RESOURCES TO SUPPORT TRACY, AS YOU MENTIONED.

IT COULD JUST BE THEY DON'T HAVE THE HELP, RIGHT? AND SO IF THERE WAS A WAY TO, TO DO THAT, APPROACH THEM IN A POSITIVE WAY AND SAY, HOW CAN WE HELP YOU? YEAH. YEAH.

I DON'T THINK ESPECIALLY WITH THE WAY THAT ANGLETON IS SET UP, LIKE THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME AREAS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED MORE AS THE COUNTY.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR POCKETS WITH THAT.

BUT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ENTRY POINTS.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THE GATEWAY TO.

THE CITY IS.

AND SO LIKE THAT TRICKLE EFFECT SHOULD COME IN TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

SO OKAY.

YEAH, I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT EVEN CLOSER TO OUR RECYCLE DATES.

WE COULD REACH OUT TO THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE IT RIGHT.

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO LIVE IN THE CITY OF ANGLETON.

YEAH. SO THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME POSITIVE COLLABORATION YOU CAN REACH OUT TO WITH THE COUNTY PARTNERSHIP.

YEAH, WHEN THEY OFFERED SOME OF THEIR RECYCLING DAYS.

OKAY. SO, YOU GET VOTED ON THAT? YEP. THAT'D BE GREAT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. IF WE'RE GOOD, I'M JUST WAITING.

ADJOURNMENT, MADAM PRESIDENT.

OH, YES. OKAY.

6:09. OH 6:10.

MEETING ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.

I'LL SECOND THAT.
