Feb 18, 2025 Angleton Better Living Corporation

[00:00:04]

I CALL TO ORDER. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18TH, 2025.

[DECLARATION OF A QUORUM AND CALL TO ORDER]

WE HAVE A QUORUM. CALL TO ORDER. REGULAR AGENDA.

[1. Discussion and possible action to approve the Angleton Better Living Corporation Minutes of December 16,2024, and January 27,2025. ]

I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ANY DISAPPROVE? SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

[2. Discussion and update on 2024 Angleton Better Living Corporation bond projects. ]

AND I SEE MISS BANNER AT THE MICROPHONE. YES.

GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. WE DO HAVE JUST AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GOING OVER, REVIEWING WHAT ALL HAS COME TO PASS FOR EACH OF OUR BOND PROJECTS. YOU ALSO HAVE THE ACCOUNT NUMBER THERE, AND THE FUTURE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE BALANCES ARE IN EACH OF THOSE ACCOUNTS, SO THAT WE CAN KEEP TABS ON WHAT WE'VE SPENT TO DATE.

BUT YOU DO HAVE JUST KIND OF A CALENDAR OF EVENTS OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR.

WE DID HAVE A TOWN HALL MEETING FOR ABIGAIL ARIAS PARK LAST WEEK.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING INPUT ON THE TWO SCHEMATIC DESIGNS THAT WE PRESENTED AT THE TOWN HALL AT THE UPCOMING PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEETING ON MARCH 4TH, FOLLOWED BY CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MARCH 11TH.

WE ARE DOING A LOT OF BACKGROUND OR WORK IN THE BACKGROUND WITH BURDETT, SO LIKE I MENTIONED, THEY DO HAVE TWO SCHEMATIC DESIGNS. THEY HAVE SENT US ALSO OVER AQUATIC FEATURES TO REVIEW BEFORE WE BRING THAT TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION AND INPUT. WE HAVE SOME FEEDBACK ON THAT WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMUNITY INPUT WE HAD FROM THE PROGRAMING MEETING WITH THE JANUARY PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEETING, AND WE ARE ALSO PURSUING A SECONDARY GRANT.

AS YOU GUYS KNOW, WE WERE AWARDED THE TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE GRANT FOR THIS PROJECT.

WE ARE PURSUING A SECOND GRANT THAT MAY ALSO HELP WITH FUNDING SOME OTHER ITEMS IN THIS PROJECT WITH A MAXIMUM GRANT MATCH OR CEILING, RATHER OF $150,000.

SO THAT DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 28TH, SO WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON SUBMITTING THAT APPLICATION.

DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ABIGAIL ARIAS PARK BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD TO THE NEXT BOND PROJECT? I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. SO, THIS IS SO FAR, EVERYTHING WE'VE HEARD IT DOING DESIGN AND SO FORTH AND SO ON.

BUT WHEN ARE WE LOOKING AT, LIKE BREAKING GROUND OR STARTING CONSTRUCTION? SURE. SO, WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IS IN THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE.

WE'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE MEETINGS, PUBLIC MEETINGS BEFORE WE GET TO A FINAL.

SO THAT MARCH 4TH AND MARCH 11TH MEETINGS WHERE WE GET INITIAL INPUT FROM THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL WILL TAKE THAT INFORMATION, AND THEY WILL COME BACK WITH A FINAL DESIGN TO PRESENT TO BOTH PARKS BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION.

ONCE THAT'S BEEN APPROVED AND ADOPTED, THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND FINE DETAILS OF WHAT THOSE ELEMENTS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

SO, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF DESIGN WORK THAT WILL NEED TO BE DONE.

THE REMAINDER OF THIS SPRING, I WOULDN'T EXPECT THAT WE WOULD HAVE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS UNTIL SOMETIME, PROBABLY EARLY FALL, LATE FALL, FOLLOWED BY BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION.

OUR AIM IS TO HAVE GROUNDBREAKING IN EARLY, YOU KNOW, BEGINNING OF THE NEW YEAR 2026.

BUT REALLY, THAT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW QUICKLY WE HAVE ITEMS APPROVED.

WE, YOU KNOW, GO THROUGH BIDDING. ONCE WE GO THROUGH BIDDING, WE MIGHT BE SURPRISED.

AND THIS PROJECT COULD BE BID, YOU KNOW, AT $5 MILLION.

WELL, WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THAT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK AT THAT POINT IF THAT OCCURS.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT IS GOING TO OCCUR, BUT IT HAS OCCURRED WITH PREVIOUS PARK DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT WE WANT TO SCALE BACK ON.

SOME OF THE THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND, BECAUSE IT'S TIED TO A TP GRANT, THERE ARE SPECIFIC ITEMS WE MUST INCLUDE, AND IN THAT GRANT SPECIFICALLY, THEY HAVE OUTLINED THE PLAYGROUND, THE SPLASH PAD, IRRIGATION, AND NATIVE PLANTINGS. SO THOSE FOUR ITEMS ARE WHAT GOT US POINTS TO BE AWARDED THE GRANT.

WE WILL HAVE TO INSTALL SOME TYPE OF ELEMENT RELATED TO THOSE FOUR THINGS IN ORDER TO BE AWARDED THEIR FUNDS.

[00:05:06]

YEAH. AND WE CAN EVEN SEND THAT THROUGH JUST EMAIL TO THE BOARD.

ANYTHING WE CAN DO. AND THEN THE OTHER THING WOULD BE IT'S A LOT TO ASK, BUT, YOU KNOW, TRY TO BE AS AGGRESSIVE AS POSSIBLE AS FAR AS TIMELINE.

KEEP IT ON TRACK. WE GOT IT. YES, ABSOLUTELY.

WE WILL DO THAT. AND ONE OTHER THING. WHAT? WHAT'S THE DECISION DATE ON THAT TPW? TPW IS DONE. SO WE HAVE WE WERE AWARDED BY THE COMMISSION JANUARY 23RD.

AND SO, OKAY. WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, WE'RE WORKING ON THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE PORTAL.

WE HAVE CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO. LIKE FOR INSTANCE, WE WERE JUST RECENTLY NOTIFIED THAT THEY DO WANT A A VERY SPECIFIC SURVEY DONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW. YES. SO, WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON THOSE ITEMS. SUSIE'S ALREADY HELPED US WITH THE FINANCIAL ITEMS. AND SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NEXT IS ACTUALLY EXECUTING THE AGREEMENT WITH THE TWO PARTIES, CITY OF ANGLETON. BUT WE'RE ALREADY WORKING IN THE GRANT PORTAL ON ALL OF THEIR REQUIREMENTS.

BUT IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN BECAUSE THIS SAYS THERE'S ONLY 750,000? CORRECT. I THOUGHT, WEREN'T WE DOING ONE FOR LIKE 1.5? WE'RE TRYING TO GET SO THAT'S THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER. WE WERE AWARDED TWO GRANTS. AND YOU'LL SEE THAT FURTHER. FURTHER DOWN. ALL RIGHT.

YEAH. SORRY IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS ON ABIGAIL, I'LL MOVE TO FREEDOM.

SO, FREEDOM PARK ACTIVE AREA IMPROVEMENTS. REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE.

WE HAD TO DO A LOT OF SURVEY TPW PROPOSED SURVEY WORK DONE WITH BAKER AND LAWSON.

WE THEY. BAKER AND LAWSON WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THAT SEND IT OVER TO.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE FIRM. BUT WE ALSO HAD TERRACON OUT THERE DOING A LOT OF OUR GEOTECHNICAL WORK SO THAT WE CAN GET MOVING ON THIS.

AND SO, THEY HAVE ALSO FINISHED THAT REPORT. WITH THAT REPORT, WE RECEIVED TWO DESIGNS FOR OR LAYOUTS.

LET ME CALL THEM LAYOUTS. WE ALREADY HAVE A MASTER PLAN.

IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER THE FREEDOM PARK MASTER PLAN. SO THE DESIGN OR THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN IS ALREADY COMPLETE.

THEY'RE WORKING ON THE TECHNICAL LAYOUTS BASED ON THE SITE CONSTRAINTS FROM THE GEOTECHNICAL WORK THAT WAS RECEIVED FROM TERRACON.

AND SO, WITH THAT, WE HAVE TWO DESIGNS THAT ARE GOING TO BE PRESENTED TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD AND REALLY JUST THE LAYOUT OF THE FIELDS.

THERE ARE CERTAIN LAND CONSTRAINTS THAT THEY HAVE TWO OPTIONS FOR US TO CONSIDER, AND WE'LL TAKE THAT TO PARKS BOARD AND SUBSEQUENTLY CITY COUNCIL AS WELL FOR A FINAL DECISION BEFORE WE START MOVING THROUGH WITH DESIGN, BIDDING, ETCETERA.

AND SO THIS ONE IS PROBABLY GOING TO MOVE A LOT QUICKER.

THEIR TIMELINE IS A LOT SHORTER AGAIN, BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN, THE MASTER PLAN.

WE'RE JUST APPROVING AND THEY'RE PUSHING FORWARD.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE DONE A LOT SOONER THAN ABIGAIL WOULD.

HOW SOON? I DON'T KNOW. I CAN ALSO FOLLOW UP WITH A TIMELINE ON THAT.

I FEEL LIKE WE DO HAVE A TIMELINE ACTUALLY ON OUR GIS PARK PROJECT PAGE, BUT I'LL CONFIRM, AND I'LL SEND THAT ALL TO YOU AS A FOLLOW UP.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? OKAY. BG PARK SOCCER COMPLEX, LED FIELD LIGHTING THAT IS COMPLETE.

THAT WAS A PROJECT THAT WE WERE AWARDED 250,000.

WE WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE WITH 176,000. SO WE HAD REMAINING FUNDS.

WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THOSE REMAINING FUNDS IS WORKING WITH HDR TO PROVIDE A BID PACKAGE FOR GRADING OF ALL OF THE FIELDS, SO THAT ONE I KNOW FOR CERTAIN IS ON OUR ARCGIS PROJECT.

WE HAVE THE ACTUAL TIMELINE OF WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT.

WE WILL BE BUILDING THIS WORK IN MARCH. WE WILL HAVE INPUT FROM BIDDERS IN MAY WITH A POTENTIAL CALL TO ACTION ON FUNDING. I'M SORRY, DID I SKIP A MONTH? I THINK I DID, SO MARCH BIDDING APRIL, WE WOULD AWARD THE CONTRACT AND MAY THEY COULD POTENTIALLY START THE WORK.

BUT THE CAVEAT HERE IS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE FUNDING IDENTIFIED FOR THIS PROJECT YET.

SO WHILE WE'LL GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS, THE IDEA IS THAT WITH THE BIDDING, WE'LL LIKELY HAVE TO REJECT ALL BIDS, BUT WE WILL HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT IT IS GOING TO COST SO THAT WE CAN PUT IT IN THE BUDGET IF IT ALLOWS FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? JUST A COUPLE POINTS OF THERE'S SOME DATES ON HERE THAT HAVE YET TO COME.

I WAS LIKE, OH YEAH, NOVEMBER 12TH, 2025. CITY COUNCIL.

THAT WAS AN ERROR. 2024 THANK YOU FOR THAT. I JUST DON'T KNOW FOR RECORD KEEPING IF YOU NEED IT TO BE.

ABSOLUTELY. APPRECIATE THAT FOR THE RECORD. SO, THOSE DATES FOR ANYONE LISTENING ONLINE OR LOOKING AT THE AGENDA.

THOSE DATES FOR GPAC SOCCER COMPLEX GRADING WERE NOVEMBER 12TH, 2024, AND DECEMBER 18TH, 2024.

[00:10:09]

ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER IMPROVEMENTS. THIS IS WHERE THE OTHER TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE GRANT COMES IN.

THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AWARDED OVER $800,000 FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE RECREATION SITE.

AND THOSE SPECIFIC ITEMS INCLUDE NATATORIUM IMPROVEMENTS, ADA OTHER RENOVATIONS OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY, LIGHTING, YES. AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY SAVINGS LIKE LIGHTING, INSULATION, AC REPAIRS, ET CETERA. SO, WE HAVE TO. ONCE WE EXECUTE THAT CONTRACT, WE HAVE TO DO WORK.

THE MONEY HAS TO GO TOWARDS THOSE ITEMS. IT WAS PRETTY BROAD IN THE FUNDING BUDGET, I WILL SAY.

SO, IT DOES ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR AND RENOVATE A MULTITUDE OF ITEMS AT THE REC CENTER.

SO, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. YEAH, AGAIN HERE WE'RE WORKING ON THE PORTAL, PROVIDING EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED BEFORE WE EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.

YEAH. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ARC? I HAVE ONE OF THAT.

AND MY APOLOGIES FOR LAST MEETING. I HAD MY DATES MIXED UP.

SO, ON THAT ONE, I KNOW IT'S 881,415. SOMEWHERE IN THE NOTES I PUT $500,000 DOWN FOR.

SO, $500,000 WAS FROM THE BOND. AND THEN SO YOU ALL DID ALLOCATE $500,000 FROM THE BOND.

THE RECREATION CENTER HAS THEIR OWN FUND BALANCE.

LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE HAD IN OUR ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER FUND BALANCE 274,000, WHICH YOU ALL I THINK WAS IN THE SEPTEMBER MEETING.

APPROVED FOR THAT TO BE UTILIZED FOR TO GET AS MUCH BECAUSE THIS WAS A MATCHING GRANT.

IT WAS 50/50 MATCHING GRANT. SO THE MORE MONEY WE COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROJECT AS A MATCHING PORTION, THE MORE WE COULD GET FROM TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE.

SO, YOU ALL, AS ABLC APPROVED THAT WE USE THAT 274,000 FROM A RECREATION CENTER FUND BALANCE.

AND THEN WE ALSO ASKED TO UTILIZE 150,000 FROM ABLC FUND BALANCE, WHICH YOU ALSO APPROVED.

SO WE MAXIMIZED AS MUCH AS WE COULD SO THAT IT WAS OVER THE 500,000 ORIGINALLY ALLOCATED.

AND THIS IS WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO AWARD US. SO WITH THIS AMOUNT, WE'RE MORE THAN ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE REC CENTER.

SO WE WILL HAVE MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE SURPLUS. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE WOULD HAVE SURPLUS.

THIS IS A 20 YEAR OLD FACILITY THAT IS AGING.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD MENTIONED FOR THE PAST, PROBABLY MINIMALLY FOUR YEARS IN THE CIP.

IS THAT A DLC OR GENERAL FUND BALANCE OR WHATEVER OTHER FUNDING MECHANISM, DEDICATE AT LEAST $200,000 ON AN ANNUAL BASIS FOR OPERATION MAINTENANCE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING MAINTENANCE ITEM FOR THIS FACILITY.

WILL WE BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE A LOT WITH THIS? ABSOLUTELY.

SO, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BRING THAT $200,000 TO, HEY, WE NEED, YOU KNOW, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, SOMEWHERE FROM 50 TO 100,000 WHEN WE HAVE AC REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE DONE OVER TIME.

BUT WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND ITEMS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS IN THE FUTURE. SO THESE RESOURCES WILL BE IN THE ABLC FUND.

THEY WILL NOT ONLY BECAUSE THEY'RE DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO THIS PROJECT.

SO, WE HAVE TO SPEND THIS MONEY WITHIN THE GRANT PERIOD.

AND THE GRANT IS REIMBURSABLE. SO, ONCE WE HIT EVERY TIME, WE SPEND MONEY ON ONE OF THEIR DESIGNATED ITEMS, WE LOG THAT INTO THE PORTAL, WRITE A REPORT, AND ASK FOR A REIMBURSEMENT.

SO, THEN THEY REIMBURSE IT, WHICH WE THEN GET TO USE TO GO TOWARDS.

AGAIN, MORE RENOVATIONS AS IT RELATES TO THE PROJECT.

SO MUCH LIKE LAKESIDE, WE HAD $150,000 GRANT FOR LAKESIDE, BUT YOU HAVE TO WE MATCHED THAT, BUT WE HAD TO USE ALL OF IT, AND WE ALSO HAD TO EXPEND WHAT WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO.

SO, SO INDIRECTLY, WE TAPPED THE FUNDS AS NEEDED.

DO WHAT NOW? AND INDIRECTLY, WE SORT OF TAPPED THE FUNDS AS NEEDED BASED ON WHAT WE NEED FOR THE RECORD.

YES, BUT THE INTENT IS THAT WE WILL NEED ALL OF IT.

YES, WE'LL NEED IT ALL. AND SO IT'S JUST IT'S IF I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE IS IT'S NOT FOR ABLC.

IT'S SPECIFICALLY GEARED TO THE REC CENTER. THIS IS CORRECT.

AND FOR THE SAID REPAIRS AND THE SPECIFIC REPAIRS.

OKAY. CORRECT. AND SO, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'LL TELL YOU, AND I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE EVEN SENT THIS TO ABLC, AND IF WE DIDN'T, WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THIS RECAP AND EMAIL.

WE SENT THE BID TABULATION THAT WE SUBMITTED AS PART OF THE GRANT, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE A TON OF ITEMS THAT WE HAVE LISTED THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. WELL, THEY ONLY SAID, HEY, WE'RE GIVING YOU THIS MONEY FOR FOUR.

AND SO, WHAT WE WILL THEN DO IS TURN AROUND AND USE ABLC'S MONEY, AND THE MONEY YOU ALL ALLOCATED THE MATCHING PORTION TO TAKE CARE OF THE OTHER REMAINING

[00:15:06]

PERFECT. YEAH, BUT THE ONLY OTHER CHALLENGE IS BASICALLY THOUGH, THAT, LIKE I SAID, IT'S THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO CONTACT THEM AND GET THEIR CONVERSION RATE.

SO UP TO THAT 881,000. SO IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND FOR THAT, THEN WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, WE DO HAVE IT, AND IT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED AND DEDICATED BY ABLC.

YOU ALL HAVE DONE THAT WITH YOUR BOND WITH ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER FUND BALANCE AND WITH ABLC'S FUND BALANCE.

THE OTHER THING THAT I'LL MENTION TOO, IS THAT ABLC LAST FISCAL YEAR PAID FOR THE AQUATIC FEATURES UPFRONT.

SO THAT WAS AN UPFRONT COST THAT WE ALREADY SAID WE'VE ALREADY DEDICATED MONEY TO THIS PROJECT.

SO, WHETHER YOU GIVE US THE GRANT OR NOT, WE'RE STILL MOVING FORWARD ON IT.

AND SO, WHAT THAT HAS DONE IS WE'VE PROVIDED AN OVERMATCH FOR WHAT IS REQUIRED HERE.

AND SO, THAT JUST HELPS US IN THE LONG TERM WITH WHAT WE HAVE SPENT TO DATE AS FAR AS REIMBURSEMENT, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

YEAH. ANYTHING ON YOU TALKED ABOUT THE $200,000, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

PROBABLY NECESSARY FOR ANNUAL MAINTENANCE ON THE BUILDING, BUT AT SOME POINT IN TIME WE NEED TO START PROBABLY LOOKING AT EXPANSION.

RIGHT? SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE GRANT THAT JASON INCLUDED, AND IT WAS VERY THOUGHTFUL, AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS IS THE MASTER PLAN AND FEASIBILITY OF THE REC CENTER.

SO WE THAT IS IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS THIS GRANT.

SO WE HAVE THE FUNDS. SO WE ARE WORKING ON RFQ TO SEND THAT OUT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT BE GOING ON CONCURRENTLY WITH THIS THESE RENOVATIONS. OKAY. COOL. SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

THE NEXT ITEM IS THE TEXTING TRAIL. YES. SO, HECTOR DID MENTION TODAY IN OUR LEADERSHIP MEETING THAT THE LATEST UPDATE IS ADVERTISING. SO, YOU SEE THE SCHEDULE THERE FOR BIDDING, AWARDING BID AND CONSTRUCTION.

THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ON THIS PROJECT. AND THIS IS THE ONE WHERE YOU ARE BUDGETED.

YOU ALL HAVE ALLOCATED $350,000 FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO, WE ARE ON TRACK AND MOVING IN THIS ONE AS WELL.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THIS WAS JUST A DISCUSSION ITEM.

SO THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU FOR THIS ITEM. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MISS MAYNARD. NUMBER THREE, DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED UPDATES TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION COST RECOVERY POLICY.

[3. Discussion on proposed updates to the Angleton Parks & Recreation Department Cost Recovery policy. ]

AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT COST RECOVERY IN THE PAST.

SO, IN 2019, WE WENT THROUGH A MASTER PLAN AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE FOR PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT.

WITH THAT, IT WAS IDENTIFIED TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT WAYS TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE OFFERING THE RIGHT SERVICES.

BUT AS WELL AS OFFERING THE RIGHT FEES FOR OUR PROGRAMS. AND HOW DO THOSE ALIGN? THAT MASTER PLAN WAS ADOPTED BY COUNCIL IN DECEMBER OF THAT YEAR, BUT WE CONTINUED THROUGH THAT PROCESS WITH GREEN PLAY TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP WHAT WAS OUR CURRENT COST RECOVERY MODEL.

AND SO THAT WAS ADOPTED BY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 20TH.

THE ONLY CAVEAT THAT WAS GIVEN WITH THE PROPOSED COST RECOVERY MODEL WAS THAT SENIOR SERVICES WOULD BE AT A ZERO COST.

SO WHEN WE DO OUR SENIOR PROGRAMING, THAT WOULD BE A ZERO COST, EXCEPT FOR THINGS THAT HAD A DIRECT COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

SO, EXAMPLE WOULD BE IF THEY GO ON AN OVERNIGHT TRIP, THE HOTEL THAT THEY WOULD STAY AT, THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT HOTEL, AND IT IS AN EVEN FEE FOR WHAT WE WOULD CHARGE FOR WHAT WE GET CHARGED FOR THAT.

SAME THING WOULD BE IF WE GO TO THE MOVIES, WE CHARGE A TICKET FEE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE TICKET FEE IS.

BUT WE DON'T CHARGE FOR TRANSPORTATION, WE DON'T CHARGE FOR STAFFING, WE DON'T CHARGE FOR ANY OF THE OTHER SUPPLIES THAT GO WITH THAT.

IN DECEMBER OR AUGUST OF LAST YEAR, WAS ACTUALLY ASKED BY COUNCIL TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON ONE OF THESE ITEMS. SO WE BROUGHT IT AS A WORKSHOP TO THE AUGUST MEETING TO TALK ABOUT COST RECOVERY AND WHERE THAT CURRENTLY LIED.

SO, ONE OF THE THINGS THEY WANTED US TO DO WAS TO START TO EXPLORE THAT.

SO THIS IS US GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND MAKING SURE WE'RE GOING THROUGH ALL THE STEPS TO IDENTIFY THAT.

SO OUR FIRST STEP IN THAT WAS LOOKING AT OUR COST RECOVERY, WHICH WE'LL GET TO IN A SECOND.

AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO WE'RE STARTING TO PRESENT TO ALL THE BOARDS WE WANT TO SENIOR COMMISSION ON FEBRUARY 3RD.

WE WERE HOPEFUL TO GO TO PARKS BOARD LAST WEEK, BUT THAT MEETING HAS BEEN MOVED TO MARCH.

AND THEN WE'RE HERE TONIGHT FOR ABLC PRIOR TO GOING TO COUNCIL FOR THEM TO APPROVE ANY CHANGES THAT WE MAKE.

I WILL SAY JUST BEFORE I FORGET TO MENTION THIS ONE, LATER, WHEN WE WERE AT THE SENIOR COMMISSION MEETING,

[00:20:03]

SO, A LOT OF THE TRIPS THAT THEY GO ON REQUIRE US TO TAKE THE BUS.

THEY DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A FEE FOR THAT. SO, WE HAD SOME PROPOSALS TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES FOR THE COST RECOVERY MODEL.

THEIR RECOMMENDATION THAT CAME FROM THAT WAS LOOKING AT CHARGING A TRIP FEE THAT WOULD INCLUDE A GAS FEE THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED.

SO I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT BEFORE WE GO INTO IT AS WE WORK THROUGH IT.

I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THEM, SO YOU'LL SEE THAT START ON PAGE 17.

PAGE 18 IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THINGS THAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT, HOW IT WAS ADOPTED, HOW WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS.

IF YOU GO TO PAGE 19, IT'LL GO THROUGH. SCROLL DOWN FOR ME, PLEASE.

YOU'LL SEE THE PYRAMID METHODOLOGY THAT COMES IN THAT HELPS IDENTIFY HOW WE DEVELOP A COST RECOVERY.

SO, YOU'LL SEE FROM THAT, IT'LL HELP KIND OF EXPLAIN IT AS WE GO THROUGH THOSE PAGES.

BUT THIS IS THE COST RECOVERY MODEL THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PRESENTED FOR GREEN PLAY AND HOW THEY DEVELOPED THAT METHODOLOGY.

IF YOU GO TO PAGE 20, IT'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE BENEFITS AND HOW THOSE TIERS WORK.

SO IF YOU TALK ABOUT A TIER ONE THAT IS MOSTLY COMMUNITY BENEFITS.

TIER TWO IS A CONSIDERABLE COMMUNITY. BENEFITS.

TIER THREE IS BALANCED BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY.

TIER FOUR IS CONSIDERABLE INDIVIDUAL AND THEN TIER FIVE IS MOSTLY INDIVIDUAL.

SO THE WAY TO THINK ABOUT THAT ONE IS WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF OFFERING A SERVICE, AND THINGS THAT ARE FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY ARE TYPICALLY GOING TO FALL WITHIN A TIER ONE. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, FOR SENIOR PROGRAMING, WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THEM.

ANYTHING THAT'S A TIER ONE IS USUALLY GOING TO BE A 0% COST RECOVERY.

AND SO THAT IS A FULLY SUBSIDIZED PROGRAM THAT WOULD BE PAID FOR IN THIS CASE BY ABLC TO SUBSIDIZE THAT OR FINDING OTHER REVENUE STREAMS TO HELP SUBSIDIZE THAT COST. YOU WOULD TIER YOUR WAY UP FROM THERE BASED ON HOW MUCH OF THE COMMUNITY'S BENEFIT IS ALL THE WAY UP TO AN INDIVIDUAL.

SO AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE IF WE WERE TO DO ADULT SWIM LESSONS, THAT IS A ONE ON ONE INDIVIDUAL BENEFIT FOR ONE PERSON.

SO THAT WOULD FALL IN A TIER FIVE. SO THAT WOULD TYPICALLY BE ABOUT 150% COST RECOVERY.

SO THAT'S KIND OF SHOWS YOU SOME OF THE BREAKDOWNS FOR IT.

THE NEXT SECTION, THE REAL THING WE WANTED TO REEVALUATE WAS OUR DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS.

SO WHEN WE WENT THROUGH OUR FIRST COST RECOVERY MODEL, IT DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INDIRECT COSTS.

SO DIRECT COSTS ARE THINGS LIKE YOUR SUPPLIES FOR A PROGRAM.

SO, IF YOU HAVE SENIOR PROGRAMS DOES A CRAFT OR BINGO AND WE BUY SUPPLIES FOR THAT, WE WOULD FACTOR IN ONLY THOSE SUPPLIES IF WE OFFER MANY ATHLETES AND WE BUY EQUIPMENT FOR THAT.

YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT EQUIPMENT FOR THAT PROGRAM, THINGS THAT ARE DIRECT COSTS, BUT SALARY FOR STAFF IS AN INDIRECT COST.

IT DOESN'T ALWAYS ASSOCIATE WITH THE TWO. SO THE OLD MODEL DID NOT IDENTIFY THAT.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE RECOMMENDING IS TO BRING THAT BACK AND FIND A METHODOLOGY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE INDIRECT COSTS ASSOCIATED KNOWING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO LESSEN THE SUBSIDY FOR THE ENTIRE DIVISION, OR FOR ARC AND REC DIVISION.

AND FACTORING IN THE INDIRECT COSTS IS A NECESSITY THAT COMES WITH THAT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF IDENTIFY SOME OF THOSE THINGS AS WE GO THROUGH. PAGE 21 TALKS ABOUT OUR NEW METHODOLOGY AND HOW THAT GOES INTO PLAY.

AND IT'LL BREAK DOWN TO SHOW THAT PYRAMID FOR YOU OF GOING FROM THAT 0% TO THAT 150%.

YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME VERY SPECIFIC PROGRAMS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE.

SO, STARTING AT THE BOTTOM YOU'LL SEE ADAPTIVE RECREATION, LAKESIDE STARRY NIGHTS, SILVER HARP PROGRAMS, LUNCH AND LEARN. SAILOR HEART TUESDAYS FALL IN THAT 0%.

TIER TWO WOULD BE LIKE A MINI ATHLETES. THAT IS ONE OF OUR PROGRAMS FOR KIDS.

INTRODUCES THEM TO DIFFERENT SPORTS BACKGROUNDS.

AND THEN WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT OUR TRIPS AND OUR OVERNIGHT.

OUR DAY TRIPS AND OUR OVERNIGHT TRIPS WOULD ACTUALLY FALL INTO TIER TWO AS WELL, WHICH IS A 25% COST RECOVERY.

YOU MOVE YOUR WAY UP TO AN INDIVIDUAL ONE, WHICH WOULD REPRESENT A SUMMER CAMP THAT PROVIDES A SAFE ALTERNATIVE AND OPTION FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO HAVE A PLACE TO TAKE THEIR KIDS DURING SUMMER. AND SO IT HAS BOTH AN INDIVIDUAL BENEFIT AND A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.

YOU GO UP TO TIER FOUR. SO, THIS WOULD BE 100% COST RECOVERY.

AND THAT WOULD BE WE HAVE A CAKE-OFF CHALLENGE.

OUR FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE. OUR JINGLE BELL RUN.

IF WE HOLD ANY RIDE COST CERTIFICATIONS, YOUTH LEAGUES, YOUTH SWIM LESSONS WOULD BE 100% COST RECOVERY.

AND THEN YOU WORK YOUR WAY UP TO 150%, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE ADULT LEAGUES ADULT SWIM LESSONS,

[00:25:05]

I WOULD ALSO MENTION IN HERE ONE OF THE THINGS YOU NOTICE WE TALK ABOUT MEMBER NON-MEMBER RATES.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE AS WE GO THROUGH THE FEE SCHEDULE UPDATES.

BUT AND THIS IS WE'RE PROPOSING THAT THERE WOULD BE A MEMBER TO MEMBER DISCOUNTS ON THE RATES OF 10 TO 20%.

AND SO, I'M GOING TO SKIP TO PAGE 24 TO TALK ABOUT OUR NEW PROPOSAL AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH COST RECOVERY.

THE FIRST PART WITH THIS ONE IS I'LL SHOW THIS IS A BLANK SHEET THAT WOULD BE STAFF WOULD UTILIZE TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH AND IDENTIFY WHERE THEIR PROGRAM LIES. SO, WE WOULD USE THAT TIERED SYSTEM TO DETERMINE WHERE THEY WOULD FALL FIRST.

AND THEN WE WOULD PLUG INFORMATION IN HERE TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP WHAT THAT PRICING IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

SO THIS IS JUST A BLANK SHEET THAT WOULD SHOW THAT ITEMIZATION AND THAT BREAKDOWN.

BUT WE ALSO WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES.

SO, YOU WOULD SEE ON PAGE 25 IS GOING TO HAVE A FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE.

PAGE 26 IS GOING TO HAVE A SCHUMANN'S MOVIE GRILL.

SO THAT BEING A SENIOR PROGRAM. AND THEN PAGE 27 IS GOING TO HAVE OUR SUMMER VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO SKIP TO PAGE 28 TO KIND OF BREAK THAT DOWN FOR YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT TO HELP UNDERSTAND THAT ONE.

I THINK THIS ONE IS RELEVANT TO ONE OF OUR TOPICS LATER TODAY AS FAR AS THE SUMMER CAMP GOES.

SO I'M GOING TO KIND OF BREAK THIS DOWN IN TWO SECTIONS FOR YOU.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR PAGE HERE, YOU'LL SEE LETTERS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J AND SO FORTH. BUT THEN YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE WHEN YOU GET TOWARD THE BOTTOM, THEY REPEAT THEMSELVES.

THE REASON I POINT THAT OUT IS THIS IS ON THE BOTTOM, IS HOW WE TABULATE SOME OF THE INFORMATION AT THE TOP.

SO IF YOU WERE TO START AT A AT THE VERY TOP AND YOU SEE SALARIES FULL TIME, IF YOU JUMP DOWN TO THE FOLLOWING A SECTION, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE RATE THAT JUMPS IN THERE TO SHOW THAT THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN, THAT WE'VE INCLUDED SALARIES INTO THE COST.

SO WE WENT THROUGH AND IDENTIFIED THE STAFF THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SUMMER CAMP AND THEIR DIRECT USAGE THAT THEY HAVE OR DIRECT HOURS CONTRIBUTED TO SUMMER CAMP. SO IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT THAT FULL BREAKDOWN, YOU WOULD SEE WE HAVE PLANNING HOURS IN THERE.

SO HOW MUCH TIME IS SPENT ON PLANNING FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROGRAM.

SO IT WOULD BE THE SAME NO MATTER WHAT PROGRAM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WE WOULD INCLUDE THEIR PLANNING HOURS IN THERE.

WE WOULD LOOK AT THEIR CAMP HOURS IN THIS CASE WOULD BE THAT NEXT ITEM DOWN.

SO, IT BREAKS IT DOWN. AND HOW OFTEN DOES THAT HAPPEN.

AND SO, FOR THIS YEAR'S CAMP OR PROPOSALS THAT IT'S EIGHT WEEKS.

SO THEY WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT EIGHT WEEKS. AND THEY SPEND ABOUT TEN HOURS A DAY.

AND THAT'S FIVE DAYS A WEEK. SO THAT TABULATES ACROSS TO HELP FIGURE OUT THAT FULL NUMBER FOR SALARIES.

ONCE YOU ADD ALL THAT TOGETHER, YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR FULL COST.

THAT'S THAT 14,610 UP AT THE TOP. SO THE SAME THING WOULD GO THROUGH IF YOU WERE WORKING WAY DOWN.

SO WHEN YOU GET INTO PART TIME STAFF, WE WOULD DO THE EXACT SAME BREAKDOWN FOR PART TIME STAFF.

FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT CALCULATION IS. WE WOULD GO INTO SUPPLIES THAT WOULD AUTO CALCULATE UP TO THE TOP AS WELL.

AND THEN THE SAME THING WHEN YOU GO INTO ROOM USAGE DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT PROGRAM IS.

SO I'M GOING TO JUMP BACK TO THE TOP AND KIND OF BREAK DOWN SOME OF THOSE.

SO AS WE TALKED ABOUT WE GOT FULL TIME SALARIES.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO INCLUDE. WE HAVE PART TIME SALARIES THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO INCLUDE.

THERE IS ALSO A 30% 31% THAT WOULD BE CALCULATED BASED ON THE HOURS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTED FOR PART TIME AND FULL TIME SALARIES. AND SO THAT WOULD BE THE BENEFITS THAT WE'D HAVE TO, AS A MARKUP TO COVER THE COST.

THAT'S ADDITIONAL TO PERSONNEL SERVICES. SO WE ALL KNOW THAT SALARIES ISN'T THE ONLY THING THEY GET.

THEY HAVE BENEFITS, WHETHER IT BE IN HEALTH INSURANCE OR WE PAY FOR WORKER'S COMP, WE PAY FOR LONGEVITY.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT COME IN. WE WANTED TO HELP CAPTURE SOME OF THAT AS WELL.

IF THERE WAS ANY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TIED TO IT.

SO, EXAMPLE IS IF WE WERE SECURING ANY ENTERTAINERS OR THERE'S ANY OUTSIDE SERVICES, THAT WOULD BE A DIRECT COST THAT WOULD BE CAPTURED UNDER ITEM D YOU HAVE YOUR SUPPLIES AND MATERIAL AS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IS TABULATED BELOW.

AND YOUR NUMBER BROUGHT UP HERE IS ABOUT $11,000 FOR SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS.

THEN WE HAVE TRANSPORTATION. AND THIS WOULD BE THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH MOU WE'RE LOOKING TO DO WITH ANGLETON ISD.

AND SO THE COST ASSOCIATED THERE FOR TRANSPORTATION, THE FIELD TRIPS THAT WE GO ON TWICE A WEEK, THAT WOULD BE THE COST ASSOCIATED THERE. WE ALSO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE ADVERTISING.

SO, WE PUT THIS IN THE PLAYBOOK. SO WE WANT TO RECOUP SOME OF THOSE COSTS.

AND THEN OUR ROOM RENTAL FEES AS I MENTIONED WAS TABULATED BELOW.

[00:30:03]

THAT'S THINKING ABOUT IT'S MORE THAN JUST A STAFF MEMBER PLANNING IT.

AND THE DAY OF. THERE ARE THE FRONT DESK THAT HELP SELL IT.

THE UTILITIES THAT NEED TO BE PAID FOR ROOM. ANY OTHER MARKETING THAT GOES OUT, STAFF THAT TAKE TIME TO CREATE THE FLIERS FOR IT.

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CAPTURED. SO WE'RE ADDING THAT BACK IN THERE AS WELL.

YOU GET YOUR SUBTOTAL FOR THE WHOLE PROGRAM. AND THEN IT'S GOING TO BREAK US DOWN TO SHOW WHAT IS OUR COST RECOVERY NEED THAT GOES WITH IT.

SO BASED ON THIS CALCULATION FOR SUMMER CAMP PROPOSAL HERE, IT COSTS ABOUT $80,000 FOR SUMMER CAMP TO HAVE AN EIGHT WEEK PROGRAM FROM FULL PLANNING.

BLESS YOU. FULL PLANNING FOR THE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

STAFF'S DEDICATION. ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN THERE.

AND AS WE JUMP DOWN INTO THE FIRST KIND OF BLACK BOX AREA, YOU WILL SEE THAT BREAKDOWN AS FAR AS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR COST RECOVERY.

SO, IF WE LOOK RIGHT AROUND HERE, THIS SECTION HERE, THIS IS GOING TO HAVE YOUR COST RECOVERY CALCULATED OUT ON WHAT WE NEED TO CHARGE INDIVIDUALS IF WE WERE TO HOST OR HOLD THIS PROGRAM.

SO IF WE WERE TO LOOK AT THAT PROGRAM AND WE SAID THAT WE NEEDED 240 INDIVIDUALS AS OUR MINIMUM FOR THAT PROGRAM, IF WE GET 240 AND THAT PROGRAM HAPPENS, AND THAT'S FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER.

SO WHOLE EIGHT WEEKS, 240 PEOPLE REGISTERED, 25% COST RECOVERY WOULD BE AN $82 CHARGE TO BREAK EVEN.

SO GOOD NEWS IS, IS THAT WE CHARGE MORE THAN THAT NOW.

SO WE'RE ALREADY MEETING THAT. IF YOU JUMP TO THE 50% COST RECOVERY, THAT ONE IS $162 CHARGE OR $64 CHARGE.

THAT IS ABOVE OUR CURRENT CHARGE FOR THIS PROGRAM.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT OUR OLD COST RECOVERY MODEL DID NOT TAKE INDIRECT COSTS INTO PLAY.

AND SO YOU'RE SEEING THE BENEFIT OF ADDING THAT PART TO IT TO HELP CAPTURE SOME OF THOSE ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH OUR CURRENT CAMP.

PRICE IS $125. SO, IF WE WERE TO GO WITH THIS NEW MODEL, WE WOULD SEE A PRICE INCREASE THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

NOW IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THAT.

IF YOU LOOK AT IT BASED ON WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING, WE WOULD IF WE INCREASE TO THAT ABOUT $165 PER PERSON, WE WOULD FALL WITHIN THE 50% COST RECOVERY MODEL THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR CAMP TO FALL IN.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A TEAR UP FROM THERE. THEN IN THE EVENT, IF YOU DECIDED YOU WANTED THINGS TO BE 75% OR 100%, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE COST THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WANTED TO BE A 75% COST RECOVERY, THE CAMP WOULD COST ALMOST $250 A PERSON.

AND SO, THERE'S THINGS TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT COST RECOVERY IS WHAT IS THE FEASIBILITY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN? WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT IS REALISTIC FOR THE COMMUNITY TO PAY FOR PROGRAMS? SO SOMETIMES WHEN PROGRAMS COME IN, WE HAVE TO SAY NO TO PROGRAMS BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO CHARGE A PRICE THAT IS HIGHER THAN WHAT WE FEEL OUR COMMUNITY WOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD.

SO THAT'S WHERE THE SUBSIDY COMES IN, IS BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS THE GREATER GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND HOW DOES THAT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY OR VERSUS THE INDIVIDUAL.

SO THAT KIND OF BREAKS DOWN IN A VERY BIG NUTSHELL.

I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT I WANTED TO OPEN IT UP TO YOU ALL FOR COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS.

I THINK IT'S PRETTY NEAT. I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST OF WHAT I'VE SEEN WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

SO, ON THIS ONE, THE SUMMER CAMP. SO, WHEN YOU LIST DOWN THE PROGRAM NAME, THE PROGRAM TITLE.

SO, THIS IS REALLY A TIER THREE, RIGHT. YES. THIS ONE'S THIS ONE.

WE WOULD, OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT IT WOULD BE A 50%.

YES. SO, WITH THE TIER THREE AND IT'S AT 50%, AND THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE CHARGING NOW IS LIKE YOU SAY, IT'S BETWEEN THE, THE 25% COST RECOVERY AND THE 50% COST RECOVERY.

SO, GETTING IT TO LIKE THE 50% COST RECOVERY.

I GUESS THE GOAL IS TO TRY TO GET IT TO THE COST RECOVERY THAT EQUATES TO A TIER THREE THEN.

YES. AND SO, WE WOULD BE LOOKING TO GET IT TO THAT 50% COST RECOVERY UNDER THIS NEW MODEL.

AND SO YES, WE RECOGNIZE THAT WOULD BE ABOUT A $40 INCREASE.

BUT I WILL SAY OUR CAMP IS UNIQUE BECAUSE WE GO ON TWO FIELD TRIPS A WEEK.

SO THERE IS COST THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING A LOT OF CAMPS DO. A LOT OF CAMPS EITHER DON'T GO ON ANY OR THEY ONLY GO ON ONE A WEEK.

SO THERE ARE COSTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IT, BUT IT'S NOT.

IT WOULDN'T BE AS DRASTIC OF A JUMP AS, AS YOU SAID IT WAS GOING TO 75% COST RECOVERY, A $250 JUMP.

WE WOULD BE DOUBLING THE PRICE FOR YEAR ONE. NOW THIS IS OPEN DISCUSSION.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT, AS RECOMMENDATIONS COME FROM THE BOARDS, AND ONCE COUNCIL MAKES THEIR DECISION THAT THEY DON'T SAY WE WANT A TIER APPROACH,

[00:35:06]

SO IT'S REALLY LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WHERE DOES THAT TIER FALL WITHIN SUMMER CAMP IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND AN INDIVIDUAL BENEFIT.

SO IT REALLY SHOULD FALL WITHIN TIER THREE. THAT IS OUR PROFESSIONAL RECOMMENDATION.

AND BASED ON THE ORIGINAL COST RECOVERY THAT WAS COMPLETED WHEN GREEN PLAY WAS PART OF IT, THAT WOULD BE WHERE THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS AS WELL.

IT CURRENTLY FALLS UNDER A 50%, BUT THE OLD MODEL DID NOT TAKE INTO INDIRECT COST.

SO, WE ALREADY KNOW THAT OUR SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS WILL INCREASE BECAUSE OF THE NEW MODEL, AND IDEALLY, THEY SHOULD TO CAPTURE THOSE INDIRECT COSTS TO HELP OFFSET THE FUNDING A LITTLE BIT MORE.

YEAH. I MEAN, THIS IS DETAIL. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THIS AND THIS KEPT ME UP, MAN.

I WAS LOOKING AT THIS LIKE A FEW DAYS AGO. WHEN? LAST NIGHT. AND I'M LIKE, WOW, I'M LIKE, YOU REALLY GET GOING INTO DETAIL. SO I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT TO WHICH DETAIL DO I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT I'M GLAD YOU BROKE IT DOWN TO US EARLIER, BUT I WILL.

I CAN'T TAKE CREDIT FOR IT. I'M GOING TO PASS CREDIT TO JERRY.

THIS IS WHAT SHE COVERS. THIS IS HER MAIN. ONE OF THIS IS UNDER HER PURVIEW BECAUSE REC PROGRAMING SPECIFICALLY UNDERNEATH HER.

SO SHE WAS TASKED WITH THIS TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A NEW MODEL.

AND SO, WE REACHED OUT TO A NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS.

AND WOODLANDS IS ACTUALLY WHO USES THIS CURRENTLY.

AND SO WE TWEAKED A COUPLE THINGS TO MAKE IT ADAPTIVE TO WHAT OUR NEEDS WERE.

BUT THE REAL BASE OF IT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT MADE THE MOST SENSE OF WHEN YOU FIRST SEE IT, IT'S LIKE, THIS IS A LOT, BUT WHEN YOU PLUG NUMBERS IN THERE AND FOR STAFF, I WILL SAY THE EXCITING PART FOR STAFF WAS ONCE THEY PUT NUMBERS IN THERE AND THEY SAW THE RESULTS THAT COME FROM IT, IT MAKES THE MOST SENSE TO BE ABLE TO BREAK THAT DOWN AND SHOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. WELL, WELL, THANKS, JERRY, FOR PREPARING THIS. AND THANKS, JASON, FOR WALKING US THROUGH BECAUSE AT FIRST, IT'S LIKE IT COULD BE OVERWHELMING.

BUT THEN ONCE YOU LOOK AT IT AND YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND IT MAKES SENSE, AND YOU START GOING THROUGH ABOUT THE COST RECOVERY, 25% AND SUCH AND SUCH, THE DIFFERENT TIERS, IT MADE SENSE. AND SO, IT'S GOOD TO JUST PUT IT OUT THERE TO US.

YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT. THOUGHTS COMMENTS THOUGHTS ABOUT THE TIERS.

WELL TIERS, I GUESS. WHO MAKE THE DECISION ON WHICH PROGRAMS AND WHICH ACTIVITIES FALL WITHIN EACH TIER.

I GUESS IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS FIGURE OUT.

AND IT IS SO INTERNALLY, YES, WE WOULD GO THROUGH THAT.

AND SO, WHEN YOU LOOK BACK THAT WAS PAID AT THE PYRAMID.

AT THE PYRAMID AT AGE 21. WE IDENTIFY WITHIN WHAT THAT COMMUNITY BENEFIT IS TO, TO SEE WHAT THAT STRUCTURE WILL LOOK LIKE, TO SAY, WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO THE INDIVIDUAL.

AND SO SOMETIMES THEY CAN TEETER AROUND 1 OR 2, RIGHT.

ONE MIGHT LEAN MORE TOWARDS 50 AND THE OTHER ONE FEELS LIKE IT SHOULD BE IN A 40.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE NEXT TO THE TIERS AT THE VERY END IT SAYS PLUS.

SO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO ABOVE THOSE. AND SO, IT MIGHT BE A TIER TWO, BUT WE FEEL IT, YOU KNOW, IF IT HITS 40% COST RECOVERY, THAT'S STILL A GOOD PLACE.

SO, THIS IS JUST THE BASELINE THAT IT SHOULD NOT FALL UNDERNEATH IT.

AND SO INTERNALLY WE WOULD GO THROUGH THOSE. SO, THESE AGAIN REPRESENT OUR CURRENT PROGRAMS. WE'RE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING AND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT TRENDS AND DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES.

SO THERE ARE THINGS THAT MIGHT BE ADDED ON HERE THAT AREN'T CURRENTLY ON THERE.

I MEAN, WE HAVE A GENERIC ONE IS LIKE ADULT LEAGUES AND GETTING TO SPECIFICS OF WHETHER IT'S VOLLEYBALL, WHETHER IT'S PICKLEBALL, WHETHER IT'S BASKETBALL. AND SO WE HAVE THAT AS ONE LUMP SUM, BUT SOME OF THEM ARE VERY SPECIFIC ONES.

SO, IF WE BROKE THOSE DOWN, WE WOULD INTERNALLY DETERMINE WHAT THOSE LOOK LIKE.

OKAY COOL. SO BASED ON THAT RECOMMENDATION, IT SAYS JUST PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION TO PRESENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION.

AND BASICALLY, SAYING THAT THESE, THE SPREADSHEETS THAT YOU GOT DOWN HERE, THAT'S WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO GO FOR IT.

SO, THE DOCUMENT PRESENTED, THAT IS AN UPDATED DOCUMENT.

WE JUST ADDED THE MAJORITY OF CHANGES WERE ADDED INFORMATION ABOUT THE TIERS TALKED ABOUT DIRECT OR INDIRECT COSTS A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AND SO THAT IS AN UPDATED POLICY. AND SO YEAH, WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A RECOMMENDATION ON IF YOU FEEL THIS IS THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND FEEL THAT THIS WOULD BE WHAT YOU BELIEVE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD ADOPT.

SO JUST LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS TO JUST LIKE A SENIOR COMMISSION, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THEIR RECOMMENDATION, THEY HAD SOME HESITATION ABOUT THE TRIPS FOLLOWING IN THE 25%.

AS FAR AS COST RECOVERY GOES. SO THAT'S THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO LOOK EXPLORE A GAS OR TRIP FEE.

SO, ANYTIME WE WOULD UTILIZE A VEHICLE TO GO SOMEWHERE, OR SOMEBODY WOULD REGISTER TO BE DRIVEN, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A TRIP FEE CHARGED INSTEAD OF GOING THE 25% ROUTE.

[00:40:01]

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE FROM COMMISSIONER.

I SECOND THAT MOTION. SECOND BY DOCTOR JACKSON.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE I CALL FOR A VOTE? ALL RIGHT.

ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. ALL RIGHT. MR. CARRIES. THANK YOU.

JASON. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. APPRECIATE JERRY.

APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS. DO YOU THINK THIS WILL BE A BENEFIT TO THE CITY AND.

HELP US KEEP US ON TRACK? YEAH. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND UPDATE TO THE PROPOSED CITY OF ANGLETON.

[4. Discussion and update on the proposed City of Angleton Comprehensive Fee Schedule as it relates to Parks & Recreation Department Fees. ]

MR. MAYOR IS BACK AT THE MIC. I SURE AM. THANK YOU.

SO, THIS ONE IS TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE FEE SCHEDULE.

SO, THE CITY HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE STUDY ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS TO EVALUATE WHAT THE CURRENT FEES LOOK LIKE FOR THE ENTIRE CITY AS FAR AS OFFERINGS TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO OBVIOUSLY, PARKS AND RECREATION FALLS IN LINE WITH THAT.

SO, YOU'LL HAVE SEE BEFORE YOU SPECIFICALLY ONES RELATED TO PARKS AND RECREATION.

I WILL MENTION YOU WON'T SEE THE RECREATION PROGRAMS ON THIS.

SO, WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THOSE FALL WITHIN COST RECOVERY.

SO THOSE ARE NOT A DEFINED FEE BECAUSE THEY ARE DEFINED BASED ON COST RECOVERY.

SO YOU WON'T SEE THAT LINE ITEM THERE. SO, THIS IS REALLY GOING TO FOCUS MORE ON THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER AND PARKS.

BUT WITH THAT, THE THINGS I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT AS FAR AS PARKS AND REC GO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE SPREADSHEET BREAKDOWN IN A SECOND.

BUT I WANTED TO POINT OUT SOME VERY SPECIFIC ITEMS. IT WAS AT THE REQUEST OF COUNCIL TO ENSURE THAT OUR BOARDS DID SEE THIS, TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL TO DECIDE IF THEY WANTED TO SEE ANYTHING THAT CHANGED. STAFF HAVE GONE THROUGH EXHAUSTIVE EFFORTS, ALONG WITH ENDURA, WHO WAS ORIGINALLY ASSIGNED TO THIS, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STAYING IN LINE AND BEING COMPETITIVE.

SO, I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE REC CENTER ONES FIRST.

ONE OF OUR FIRST RECOMMENDATIONS IS TO ADOPT A RESIDENT NON-RESIDENT FEE FOR THE REC CENTER.

SO I SHOULD ACTUALLY BACK UP AND SAY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS TASKED WAS TO FIND DIFFERENT WAYS TO EXPLORE REVENUE ENHANCEMENTS AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO BUILD REVENUE FOR NOT ONLY WHETHER IT BE THE GENERAL FUND, BUT ACROSS THE CITY. AND SO, THESE ARE SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT TIE INTO THAT.

SO ONE OF THEM FIRST I MENTIONED WAS THE RESIDENT NON-RESIDENT FEE.

SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO HAVE A RESIDENT NON-RESIDENT FEE FOR THE REC CENTER.

THE RESIDENT FEE WOULD NOT CHANGE. SO THAT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WOULD BE $35 A MONTH OR $350 A MONTH.

AND THEN THE CHANGE TO THAT WOULD BE IF YOU'RE A NON-RESIDENT, IT WOULD BE A $50 A MONTH OR $500 .

500. SORRY. CURRENT ONES FOR AN INDIVIDUAL. YES.

IT WOULD BE $35 A MONTH. FOR INDIVIDUAL, IT WOULD BE $50 FOR A NON RESIDENT IF IT WAS A RESIDENT FOR ANNUAL ONE, 350 OR 500. AND THEN SAME WOULD APPLY FOR OUR FAMILY ONE.

SO OUR CURRENTLY CURRENT FAMILY MEMBERSHIP IS $500 A MONTH.

THAT WOULD STAY THE SAME IF YOU'RE A RESIDENT. IF IT WAS A NON RESIDENT IT WOULD BE $70.

AND THEN SAME METHODOLOGY WOULD APPLY THAT IF IT WAS AN ANNUAL ONE $500 FOR THE YEAR OR $700 FOR THE YEAR.

DO YOU WANT ME TO ROLL THROUGH ALL OF THEM, OR DO YOU WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS AS WE GO THROUGH? LET'S JUST ASK QUESTIONS AS WE GO. OKAY. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY.

HAVE A QUESTION. YEAH. OKAY. QUESTION. SO, I WAS LOOKING AT THE INDIVIDUAL AND WE'RE TALKING 35 AND THEN 50 RIGHT.

AND SO I GUESS PER YEAR IT'S LIKE IF YOU DO AN ANNUAL IT'S GOING TO BE 350.

SO, WHICH MEANS BASICALLY IT'S LIKE THEY'RE, WE'RE PAYING FOR LIKE OR THEY'RE PAYING FOR LIKE TEN MONTHS AND GETTING TWO MONTHS FREE BY DOING THAT. YES. WHICH IS SORT OF LIKE A 1,617% BREAK THEY'RE GETTING.

IT IS AN INCENTIVE OF LOCKING IN FOR A YEAR. WE DO NOT OFFER REFUNDS FOR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP.

SO YOU'RE SECURING A MEMBERSHIP FOR A YEAR. SO THOUGHT PROCESS THERE IS THAT YOU'RE COMMITTING TO US FOR A YEAR.

SO, WE WANT TO GIVE YOU A BENEFIT ASSOCIATED.

WHEREAS A MONTH TO MONTH ALLOW SOMEBODY THE OPPORTUNITY TO CANCEL AT ANY TIME.

MONTH TO MONTH IS GREAT AND IT'S A GREAT OPTION, BUT IT'S HARD TO FORECAST ON MONTH TO MONTH MEMBERSHIPS BECAUSE THEY CAN CHANGE AT ANY POINT. SO WE TRY TO GIVE A BENEFIT ON THAT. SO YOU'RE CORRECT.

METHODOLOGY IS YOU BASICALLY GET ABOUT TWO MONTHS FREE IF YOU SIGN UP AND LOCK IN FOR A YEAR, WHICH IS PRETTY COOL BECAUSE I LOOK AT SOME OF THE THINGS WHERE I LIKE, PAY FOR A MONTH OR PAY FOR SOMETHING IN ADVANCE. I MAY GET LIKE A 2 OR 3 OR 5% DISCOUNT.

[00:45:06]

SO OKAY. NEXT ONE I GO INTO IS DAY PASS FEES.

SO OUR CURRENT DAY PASS FEE IS $5. ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE RECOMMENDING IS A WAY TO A ENCOURAGE MEMBERSHIPS, BECAUSE MEMBERSHIPS ARE A WAY FOR US FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, TO ENSURE WE HAVE CORRECT DATA, WE HAVE THE CORRECT INFORMATION IN THE SYSTEM THAT HELPS FOR FORECASTING.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF REASONS TO ASSOCIATE AS WE ARE RECOMMENDING INCREASING DAY PASSES TO $10, BUT LEAVING MEMBER DAY PASSES FIVE. SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS IF YOU COME WITH A MEMBER, THEN YOU WILL GET A $5.

YOUR DAY PASS IS $5, BUT IF YOU ARE JUST A REGULAR GUEST THAT DOES NOT, IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH A MEMBERSHIP, IT WOULD BE A $10 FEE. WHERE IS IT NOW? IT'S $5.

OKAY, SO IT WOULD DOUBLE FOR SOME OF THE METHODOLOGY FOR THAT ONE IS, AS YOU ALL KNOW, RISING COST TO AID, MAKE REPAIRS AND UPKEEP THE FACILITY AS WELL AS JUST REGULAR OPERATIONS.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIND STRATEGIC WAYS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS. THIS WAS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT NEW FACILITY ACTUALLY PUT IN PLACE.

THEY OPENED THEIR REC CENTER THIS PAST YEAR, AND THEY HAVE THIS CURRENT RATE IN PLACE AS WELL.

I WANT TO ASK THIS TOO MUCH OF Y'ALL, BECAUSE I KNOW Y'ALL ALREADY TASKED WITH A LOT.

I WOULD BE CURIOUS, BUT I THINK WE CAN DO THE MATH BACKWARDS.

BUT WHAT OUR NUMBERS WILL BE. I'M OKAY WITH THIS, BUT I THINK WE MAY NEED TO REEVALUATE THAT IF WE LOSE SUBSTANTIAL DAY PASSES.

IF IT DRIVES DOWN THE ATTENDANCE, MAYBE WE WILL.

MAYBE IT WON'T. I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, VERY, VERY BAD DAY.

WE'RE NOT MAKING AS MUCH MONEY BECAUSE LESS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SPEND $10 AS OPPOSED TO FIVE.

BUT THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK. DO YOU HAVE A TRACKING MECHANISM IN PLACE READY TO.

WELL, I MEAN, WE CAN JUST DO THE MATH, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT'S TEN AND FIVE. SO, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, YOU CAN PROBABLY BASICALLY GUESS HOW MANY WERE. IF IT WAS FIVE, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY TAKE THE NUMBER DIVIDED BY FIVE AND ROUGHLY THAT MANY.

AND SO ONE OF THE HOPES FOR THIS ONE IS TO ENCOURAGE MEMBERSHIPS.

AGAIN, THAT IS A WAY TO BE ABLE TO DO BETTER FORECASTING AND TALK ABOUT THAT.

AND SO, THE SAVINGS THAT WILL COME FROM THAT, IF SOMEBODY PURCHASES A MEMBERSHIP THAT GOES WITH IT VERSUS DOING THE DAY PASSES.

IT ALSO CUTS DOWN TIME. IF SOMEBODY HAS A MEMBERSHIP, THEIR EXPERIENCE IS GOING TO BE A LOT QUICKER.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE WAITING IN THE LINES TO DO THE DAY PASSES.

SO THERE'S SOME OF THAT. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S ALWAYS THE DIFFICULT ONE IS I RUN THE MONTHLY NUMBERS FOR THE REC CENTER AND LET ME JUST I KNOW I'M INTERRUPTING YOU.

WHAT ABOUT DAY PASS ADULTS VERSUS CHILDREN? IS THAT WE HAD THAT AT ONE TIME.

OKAY. I DIDN'T KNOW. YEAH, WE DID HAVE I MEAN, WE HAD SEVERAL I CAN'T, JERRY, YOU CAN PROBABLY SPEAK TO THIS BETTER THAN I CAN, BUT WE HAD LIKE SPECTATORS. WE HAD A SENIOR, WE HAD AN ADULT, AND WE HAD YOUTH.

YEAH. SO, WE HAD PRICES FOR A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE MAY 5TH PROBABLY.

YES. THAT'S FINE THAT WE CONSOLIDATED TO $5 ADMISSION PROBABLY THREE-ISH YEARS AGO. YES. YEAH. AND SO AGAIN, THIS IS REALLY JUST A DRIVE TOWARDS REALLY INCREASING MEMBERSHIPS. SO MY NOT THAT YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY THOUGHT THIS THROUGH.

MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE IF THIS IS IMPLEMENTED, THEN YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE THAT SIGN THAT SAYS RESIDENT TO HIM THAT SAYS DAVE HAS $10 MEMBERSHIP FOR FAMILIES AND JUST WENT AHEAD AND GO AHEAD AND JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE.

AND LIKE MAYBE WE MAKE IT BIGGER THAN THAT. YOU JUST MAY WANT TO HAVE LIKE A PERMANENT SIGN OUT, YOU KNOW, OR I'VE SEEN THE OLD, YOU KNOW, SIDEWALK WHITEBOARDS NOW THAT HE'S TALKING MORE BUT YOU KNOW, HAVE THAT WRITTEN OUT. AND I'LL BE HONEST, WE'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH ON THIS ONE PRICE WISE, BECAUSE TEN IS A LARGE JUMP. BUT AS I MENTIONED, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE YOU MAKE IT MONTHLY SUMMER FEES.

I COULD DEFINITELY SEE FAMILIES GOING SUMMER WELL.

AND SO THE MONTHLY FEE FOR LIKE THE MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP HAS THAT BENEFIT BECAUSE YOU CAN CANCEL AT ANY TIME.

SO YOU COULD SIGN UP, YOU COULD USE IT FOR THREE MONTHS AND THAT COULD BE IT.

SO IT PROVIDES THAT BENEFIT. AND LIKE I MENTIONED LIKE $10 IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY A COUPLE TIMES AND YOU'VE MORE THAN WELL PAID FOR THAT.

[00:50:04]

AND SO IT'S TRYING TO PRESERVE SOME OF THAT, TOO.

MOST LIKELY PEOPLE WHO GET MEMBERSHIPS ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE LOCAL.

BUT I GET THAT. SO AGAIN, RECOMMENDATION, IF A RECOMMENDATION IS TO CHANGE THAT PRICE TO MAKE IT LOWER, THAT'S WHEN I INITIALLY SAW IT AND I SAW THE DOUBLE DIGITS.

IT'S LIKE PSYCHOLOGICALLY IT'S LIKE $10. OH, I'LL PAY $9.

SO, WHEN YOU SAW THAT AND THEN AND THEN THE QUESTION.

YEAH, THE QUESTION I DO HAVE FOR YOU ALSO IS THAT WHEN THEY PAY THAT $10 OR THEY PAY THE $5, WHAT METHOD OF PAYMENT ARE THEY USING? ARE THEY USING CASH OR ARE THEY USING SOME FORM OF.

I WOULD SAY THE IS A GOOD MIX BETWEEN CARD AND CASH BECAUSE SUMMERTIME WE REALLY SEE A LOT OF CASH COME THROUGH.

STILL SURPRISING, BUT ONCE WE SWITCHED OVER OUR MEMBERSHIPS TO MONTHLY MEMBERSHIPS AND THE WAY THEY GO NOW, WE SEE A LOT OF CARDS GO THROUGH. OKAY, I WAS TRYING TO WONDER IF THAT WAS GOING TO IMPACT HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE MAKING, TOO, BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT USING CARDS VERSUS CASH. BUT I'M OKAY WITH THE TEN WITH THE RATIONALE THAT YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, BECAUSE IF SOMEONE COMES TO YOU AND THEY'RE LIKE, HEY, I'M GOING THERE THREE TIMES A WEEK, THAT'S $30. I COULD JUST PAY IT FOR A MONTH, AND I WOULD BE DONE WITH THAT.

SO YEAH, I'M FEELING THE $10 NOW. INITIALLY I WAS QUESTIONING THAT.

AND HONESTLY, WE SELL THAT TO A LOT OF THE DAY PASS USERS NOW FOR $5 THAT WE SEE 3 TO 4 DAYS A WEEK AND TRY TO TELL THEM TO GET A MEMBERSHIP LIKE IT WOULD BE MORE BENEFICIAL.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE. YOU SCAN YOUR MEMBERSHIP. YOU'RE DONE. A LOT OF THEM ARE YOUTH.

AND SO IT'S I THINK THEY THEY'RE JUST GIVEN $5 FROM THEIR PARENTS.

BUT WE TRY TO TELL THEM, LIKE IF YOU GOT A MEMBERSHIP LIKE YOU'RE YOU JUST COME IN.

YEAH. THAT'S THE SITUATION WITH THE YOUTH. IT'S LIKE IF ALMOST WE COULD JUST HAVE SOME PRINTED OUT CARD OR FLIER AND SAY, HEY, GIVE THIS TO YOUR PARENT. YEAH. YOU TAKE IT HOME AND THEY GIVE IT TO THE PARENT. THEY'RE LIKE, OKAY, THIS IS LIKE, YOU KNOW, I COULD SAVE MONEY THIS WAY. YEAH. AND PLUS, IF THEY HAVE MORE THAN ONE CHILD ANYWAY, SO MAKING THEIR FAMILY MEMBERSHIP AND SAVE THEM EVEN MORE.

OKAY. SO, MY QUESTION IS, IT'S LIKE, OKAY, WE CAN GO BACK OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS AND LOOK AT WHAT THE CURRENT FEE SCHEDULE IS AND SAY, OKAY, THIS IS HOW MUCH WE BROUGHT IN. AND, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT ALL THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES AND SO FORTH.

SO IF YOU LOOKED AT IT AND DONE SOME SORT OF A PROJECTION TO SAY, IF WE ADOPT THIS NEW PROPOSED SCHEDULE, THAT THIS IS WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE, HOW MUCH MORE WE WOULD EXPECT TO BE TAKING MORE IN.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO FORECAST ON.

WE'RE ABOUT TO HIT BUDGET SEASON FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO START FORECASTING SOME OF THAT STUFF OUT TO TRY TO GET ACCURATE NUMBERS.

THE FIRST HURDLE IS JUST IDENTIFYING TRULY WHAT THAT INCREASE IS GOING TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

BUT WE HAVE SOME METHODOLOGY. IT'S GOING TO BE HIT OR MISS THOUGH, BECAUSE THE HOPE IS THAT IF, YOU KNOW, WE INCREASE SOME OF THE DAY PASSES, WE SEE A BETTER RETURN ON MEMBERSHIPS.

AND WE TRACK THAT. NOW TO WHERE I'LL TELL YOU, LAST MONTH WE WERE DOWN ON DAY PASSES.

SO COMPARED TO YEAR OVER YEAR. SO, LOOKING AT LAST FY OR LET'S SAY JANUARY OF 24.

JANUARY 25TH WAS ACTUALLY LOWER THIS YEAR, BUT OUR MEMBERSHIPS WAS HIGHER.

AND SO WE EQUATE THAT TO CONVERSION OF GETTING SOME OF THOSE WHO WERE ON DAY PASSES SWITCHING OVER.

AND SO, WE TRY TO DO THAT, SOME FORECASTING TO SEE WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

SO, COOL. ON DAY PASSES DO WE DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN HAMILTON RESIDENTS VERSUS OUT OF.

NOW AT THE MOMENT. AS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED THAT'S THE PROPOSAL.

THAT'S THE PROPOSAL. THE PROPOSAL IS $10 FOR ANYBODY RIGHT? $5 IF YOU WERE WITH A CURRENT GUEST, WE HAVE A MEMBER, AND THEY BRING SOMEBODY.

YES, YES. YEAH. NO, I'M OKAY. REMEMBER THERE BEING A DISCUSSION AT ONE POINT I DON'T KNOW IF WE WERE IN THE.

THE DOCTOR FROM TEXAS A&M AND THERE WAS COST RECOVERY INVOLVING.

MAYBE I'M CONFUSING. SO NOW WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT WAS WHEN WE WERE ORIGINALLY BUILDING THE COST RECOVERY MODEL, WE HAD DISCUSSIONS OF RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT.

WHEN WE BROUGHT THAT TO ABLC AND PARKS BOARD, WE HAD A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM I'M GOING TO SAY THEY WEREN'T RESIDENTS, BUT THEY WERE MEMBERS OF OUR FACILITY PRIMARILY WHO PARTICIPATED IN OUR SENIOR PROGRAMS. WE WERE VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THAT PROPOSAL BECAUSE THEY CAME IN AND THEY SHOPPED IN ANGLETON BECAUSE THAT WAS THE MOST LOCAL,

[00:55:05]

AND SO THE ARGUMENT WAS THAT THEY SPEND THEIR TAX DOLLARS THERE, AND THE FACILITY WAS BUILT BASED ON HALF-CENT SALES TAX DOLLARS.

AND SO, AT THE TIME, OUR COST RECOVERY MODEL WAS ONLY MEMBER NON MEMBER.

AND SO, A LOT OF OUR PROGRAMING BENEFITS OR INCENTIVES RELATED TO.

IF YOU HAD A MEMBERSHIP THEN YOU RECEIVED A DISCOUNT.

WHILE THAT WORKED FOR US SEVERAL YEARS AGO AGAIN WE HAVE INCREASED COSTS AND WE'RE HAVING TO MAKE SOME ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS.

SO WHILE WE STILL HAVE THOSE MEMBER INCENTIVES IN PLACE AND ARE STILL PROPOSING KEEPING THOSE, WE ARE NOW ASKING THAT WE INCLUDE A RESIDENT NON RESIDENT DIFFERENTIAL.

THAT'S A LOT OF RESIDENTS FROM [INAUDIBLE]. YEAH.

IT WAS SPECIFICALLY WE HAVE A LOT OF RESIDENTS FROM ROSHARON THAT PARTICIPATE IN OUR SENIOR PROGRAMS. RIGHT. BUT WE WANT TO INCLUDE THAT NOW. SO YES, SPECIFICALLY I SEE IT FOR THE MEMBERSHIPS.

MEMBERSHIPS THE MEMBERSHIPS. YES. YEAH. I THINK WE OUGHT TO LOOK AT THE DAILY.

YEAH. AND WE CERTAINLY COULD WE CAN ADD THAT I THINK I WOULDN'T MIND LOOKING AT TWO IS STUFF ON THE THIRD RAIL SENIOR SERVICES ESPECIALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TRAVELING. SINCE THERE'S ALREADY A BUILT-IN BENEFIT.

LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO GIVING A LITTLE LAYER THAT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT THAT IF THEY ARE NOT A RESIDENT, THERE MAY BE AN ADDITIONAL TAX, IF YOU WILL, OR ADDITIONAL FEE, EVEN IF IT'S JUST I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

I'M JUST SAYING BECAUSE I GET THAT ALL THE SALES TAX, BUT THAT'S A LOT OF THAT IS HEAVILY INVOLVED WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TRIPS AND STUFF.

AND SO AND THE COST THAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE, I'M LIKE, I KNOW I'M SAYING STEPPING ON THAT THIRD RAIL AND PEOPLE MAY HAVE THEIR ARROWS OUT, BUT I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

SURE. AND SO, WE ALL HAVE CONSIDERED IT. SO I'M JUST AND WE HAVE DISCUSSION.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT JASON TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY WAS WITH SENIOR CITIZEN COMMISSION.

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THEY HAVE TALKED ABOUT PAYING, OFFSETTING THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION, THE TRAVEL FEE FOR GAS, RATHER THAN IT JUST BEING 0% COST RECOVERY.

AND THAT'S RELATED TO THE COST RECOVERY MODEL.

BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY INCLUDE SOME ADDITIONAL ITEMS HERE THAT REFLECTED.

WE DO HAVE THE RESIDENT NONRESIDENT MEMBERSHIP SPECIFICALLY.

WE ALSO HAVE IT ON OUR PARK RENTALS AS WE GET FURTHER DOWN.

AND THEN OUR FACILITY RENTALS ARE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO MEMBER DISCOUNTS.

YEAH. FAIR ENOUGH. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS LIKE THOUGHT PROCESS ON THAT DAILY FEE? AGAIN, KEEP IN MIND THAT THE FEE SCHEDULE IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE REVIEWED ANNUALLY.

SO, IF THE BOARD FEELS MORE COMFORTABLE PROVIDING A RECOMMENDATION THAT THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR WANTS TO EXPLORE THIS NEXT YEAR, I WOULD COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE WE PLAN TO, FOR OUR DEPARTMENT, AT LEAST BRING IT BACK ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN LINE WITH THINGS. I'M OKAY WITH KEEPING IT AS IS YOUR RECOMMENDED.

BECAUSE MORE I THINK ABOUT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SINGLE USE DAY PASS.

IF YOU TRY TO HAVE A RESIDENT NONRESIDENT, THEN THAT MEANS THAT THE PERSON COMING UP TO THE PERSON WORKING THE DESK IS GOING TO HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO PROVE THAT THEY'RE RESIDENT OR NONRESIDENT VERSUS JUST HERE'S $10 AND THEY TAKE IT.

I'M FINE WITH THE DAY FEES AS THEY ARE. I'LL SPEAK FOR MYSELF.

I'M OKAY WITH CONTINUING WHAT'S PROPOSED HERE AND JUST SEEING WHERE THAT LANDS, YOU KNOW, KEEP RECORDS, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY. AND IF IT BECOMES WHAT WE'RE SEEING, JUST PLUMMETING RESULTS BECAUSE THAT EASY $5 ISN'T SO EASY TO COME BY, OR THE $10 IS NOT SO EASY AS THE $5 TO COME BY.

AND THERE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK TO AMEND AT A LATER TIME.

ONE OF THE THINGS I WILL POINT OUT, AND THIS IS KIND OF COUNCIL'S DECISION ONCE THEY LOOK AT IT WE ARE MOVING THROUGH THE PROCESS, BUT I ALSO WANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN WE CHANGE FEES, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE EDUCATING OUR COMMUNITY IS WELL IN ADVANCE AS WE CAN.

ONE OF THE CAVEATS THAT COMES TO THAT IS SUMMER IS OUR BIGGEST TIME.

[01:00:02]

WE ACTUALLY HELD THAT OFF UNTIL OCTOBER 1ST, SO EVEN THOUGH IT WAS APPROVED IN THE SPRINGTIME, WE DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING ABLE TO EDUCATE PEOPLE THAT IT WAS COMING.

AND SO THERE'S ALSO DISCUSSIONS ON THAT TO WHERE IT MAY NOT BE LIKE, THIS IS EFFECTIVE NOW.

IT MIGHT NOT BE FOR A WHILE. SO. OKAY, COOL. SO, WE'LL ROLL OVER ON THE OTHER ONES ARE KIND OF PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY, BUT I'LL GO THROUGH THOSE QUICKLY. KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THE MEMBER DISCOUNT ONE. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE RECOMMENDING TO CONSOLIDATE IS CURRENT FEE SCHEDULE HAS A MEMBER AND A NON MEMBER FEE. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE PROPOSING IS JUST HAVING A FEE FOR A CERTAIN CATEGORY.

SO LET'S SAY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM RENTAL. THE RENTAL IS $100, AND MEMBERS WOULD JUST RECEIVE A 20% DISCOUNT.

SO, IF WE WERE TO INCLUDE THAT VERBIAGE IN THE NEW FEE SCHEDULE, WE WOULD NO LONGER HAVE TO HAVE A FOUR PAGE DOCUMENT THAT OUTLINES MEMBER AND NONMEMBER MEMBER AND NONMEMBER MEMBER NONMEMBER. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING THAT MEMBERS OF THE FACILITY WOULD RECEIVE A 20% DISCOUNT ON FACILITY RENTALS, SO THAT WOULD ELIMINATE JUST THAT, TWO DIFFERENT FEES.

IT WOULD BE ONE FEE. AND THEN ALL OUR MEMBERS WOULD RECEIVE A 20% DISCOUNT.

THEY'RE, WE'RE PROPOSING AN INCREASE ON AFTER OUR RENTALS.

IT WAS $40. WE'RE PROPOSING TO PUT THAT FOR 50 TO HELP COVER STAFFING COSTS.

WE DIVIDED OUR GYM RENTAL. THERE USED TO BE ONE GYM RENTAL THAT WASN'T REALLY IDENTIFIED CLEARLY.

SO SOMEBODY COULD RENT THE ENTIRE GYM. AND SO WE'VE BROKEN THAT DOWN TO IDENTIFY, TO HAVE A COURT ONE, COURT TWO. SO, IT ALLOWS TWO DIFFERENT GYM RENTALS TO HAPPEN.

SO IF WE HAD SOMEBODY COME IN AND WANTED TO RENT ONE SIDE, IT DOESN'T TAKE OFF THE FULL COURT.

WHEREAS CURRENTLY IF SOMEBODY RENTED THE GYM, THEY ACTUALLY GET ACCESS TO THE WHOLE GYM, WHETHER THEY WANT THE FULL THING OR NOT PER THE CONTRACT. IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE THE FULL GYM. SO OUR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO SPLIT THAT APART AND HAVE TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

INCREASE THE OUTDOOR, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PARTY PACKAGE FEES BY $25.

SO THIS WOULD BE FOR ALL PACKAGES. METHODOLOGY IS HERE.

MEMBERS RECEIVE OR SORRY, NOT MEMBERS. AND THE PARTY PACKAGES RECEIVE A DISCOUNT.

SO THINK ABOUT IT LIKE THEY'RE UTILIZING THE FACILITY.

SO OUR DAY PASSES INCREASED. AND SO THOSE SHOULD HAVE INCREASED OUR PARTY PACKAGES AS WELL TO KIND OF SHOW THAT CHANGE IN THE COST THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH BUSINESS. AND SO, WE'RE RECOMMENDING A $25 INCREASE ON TOP OF THE PACKAGE.

SO PRETTY MINIMAL THERE. ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION IS REMOVAL OF HIGH CAPACITY PARTY PACKAGES.

SO, FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR, THERE WAS CURRENTLY ONES IN THERE THAT HAD RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR 75 TO 100 OR 100 TO 150.

WELL, IF WE DO A PARTY RENTAL FOR 150 PEOPLE, THAT IS OUR CAPACITY FOR THE POOL.

AND SO THEY BASICALLY GOT A PRIVATE POOL PARTY.

AND THEN YOU MIX OUT THE ABILITY TO HAVE REVENUE.

SO WE ALREADY HAVE PRIVATE POOL PARTIES. THIS WOULD JUST GEAR THEM TO THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING AN OPTION TO ALLOW 150 PERSON POOL PARTY WHEN THAT'S OUR CAPACITY IN THE POOL. INCREASE THE PRIVATE POOL PARTIES.

AS YOU ALL RECALL, WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF LIFEGUARDS, SO WE'RE PROPOSING A $50 INCREASE FOR EACH PARTY PACKAGE.

SO CURRENT RATE OR PLUS $50 FOR EACH ONE TO HELP COVER THE COST ASSOCIATED THERE.

WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE THIS IN THE FEE SCHEDULE THERE.

IT WOULD BE A $5 CHARGE FOR ANYBODY OVER THERE.

PARTY PACKAGE. SO IF SOMEBODY DID A 1 TO 25 AND THEY HAD 26 GUESTS THAT CAME IN, WE DIDN'T KEEP COUNT.

I MEAN, I'M ALL FOR IT. I ALSO LIKE THE IDEA THAT IF THEY WANT TO ADD A PERSON, THEY CAN THROW FIVE MORE BUCKS BECAUSE IT'S JUST EASIER TO BUY A 25 PACKAGE AND ADD ONE. THAT IS PROBABLY BY, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT STEP, BY THE NEXT STEP.

YEAH. AND SO, IT JUST, IT WASN'T CLEARLY DEFINED.

SO, WE USED TO TELL PEOPLE LIKE THEY JUST BUY A DAY PASS.

WELL THEN YOU GET THE CONVOLUTED SIDE OF, WELL PART OF THE PARTY IS ONLY ALLOWED TO USE THE ROOM AND THE POOL, BUT THAT ONE PERSON JUST BOUGHT A DAY PASS SO THEY GET EVERYTHING.

AND SO IT KIND OF THROWS IT OFF. SO, WE JUST WANTED TO CLEARLY DELINEATE THAT THIS IS AN EXTRA TO IT.

THE REASON IT'S $5 IS BECAUSE THE PARTY WAS IDENTIFIED AS A PACKAGE.

YOU WENT ABOVE THE PACKAGE. SO, IT'S NOT A KIND OF A FULL PACKAGE ANYMORE.

WE'RE KEEPING TRACK OF THAT. SO, WE HAVE. YEAH, YEAH.

THEY CHECK THEY'RE THE CURRENT PARTY PACKAGES IS THEY RECEIVE A WRISTBAND, SO WE GIVE THEM ONLY 25, AND ONCE THEY RUN OUT, THEY HAVE TO COME IN AND JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

[01:05:04]

OKAY. SO THAT COULD CHILD, PARENT AND CHILD. OKAY.

THEY BOTH. OKAY. THEY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GO BY ROOM CAPACITY.

AND WE ALSO HAVE TO GO BY POOL CAPACITY. SO WHETHER YOU'RE IN THE WATER OR ON THE POOL DECK, YOU STILL COUNT AS A PERSON. I'M JUST GOING MAKING SURE THAT NOBODY SLIDES UP.

I GET IT. I'VE BEEN A PARENT TOO. BUT YOU KNOW, LIKE, HEY, MY KID'S 18 MONTHS OLD, RIGHT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT THAT WAS TRULY A THING WHEN WE UPPED OUR CHANGED OUR DAY, RIGHT? OUR DAY PASSES AND JUST HAD ONE FEE THAT BECAME A CONTENTIOUS THING.

I CAN IMAGINE. YEAH. PARK RENTALS. SO, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS IMPLEMENTING A CLEANING FEE.

SO WHEN WE HAVE LARGER EVENTS THAT COME IN AND THEY'RE ASSOCIATED, WE WOULD HAVE A $25 OR $20 PER HOUR CLEANING FEE THAT'S ASSOCIATED.

OR IN THE EVENT THAT A RENTAL DOESN'T CLEAN UP, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHARGE THEM BACK, CHARGE THEM TO COVER THOSE COSTS.

REMOVING THE FEE FOR ATHLETIC TEAM USE. THAT WAS PART OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE ASA.

ASA IS WHEN WE RE-UPPED. THAT WAS CURRENT LANGUAGE THAT WAS IN THERE.

WE'RE JUST DOING THE DUE DILIGENCE TO REMOVE THAT OUT OF THE FEE SCHEDULE.

AS MEGAN MENTIONED, PROPOSING A RESIDENT NONRESIDENT RATE FOR PAVILION RENTALS.

CURRENTLY, WE DON'T DO THAT, BUT THIS IS FULLY SUPPORTED BY GENERAL FUND.

SO, THE PARKS ARE ON PARK MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS COME OUT OF GENERAL FUND.

SO IT MADE THE MOST SENSE THAT THAT WAS A RESIDENT NONRESIDENT THING BECAUSE THAT IS THERE FOR THE ANGLETON COMMUNITY.

SO, WE HAVE RECOMMENDED IMPLEMENTING THAT AS WELL AS THAT A TIERED APPROACH TO OUR PAVILION RENTALS.

SO THIS WAS A REALLY INTERESTING AS WE WENT THROUGH TO LOOK AT IT WE HAVE BROKEN IT DOWN TO THREE TIERS PAVILIONS UNDER 1000FT², PAVILIONS FROM 1000 TO 3000FT², AND THEN PAVILIONS OVER 3000.

MOST OF OUR PAVILIONS FALL WITHIN THE UNDER 3000, SO THEIR PRICE HAD A SLIGHT INCREASE ON THOSE.

BUT WHAT WE DIDN'T FACTOR IN. SO EXAMPLE WOULD BE IF YOU WERE TO RATE A DICKY PARK.

THERE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT PAVILIONS THERE.

ONE THAT HAS EIGHT TABLES AT IT AND ONE THAT HAS TWO.

BUT YOU COULD RENT THEM FOR THE SAME PRICE. AND SO, WE FELT IT WOULD BE MORE BENEFICIAL TO HAVE A TIERED APPROACH TO WHERE SOMEONE WHO HAS A LARGER RENTAL AND HAS THE CAPACITY TO DO MORE, BUT IS NOT MY, WOULD OFFSET THAT COST A LITTLE BIT MORE AS FAR AS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE GO? INCREASE TO THE PAVILION RENTAL SECURITY DEPOSITS.

SO, IF YOU RENT ONE OF THE HIGH TIER ONES, YOU WOULD HAVE $100 DEPOSIT METHODOLOGY.

THERE IS THAT MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THAT SPACE, THE MORE LIKELY THAT SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN.

SO IT WAS $50. WE'RE JUST RECOMMENDING THAT THE LARGE PAVILIONS WOULD BE $100.

WE'RE ADDING AN ENTIRE PARK RENTAL FEE. SO, IF SOMEBODY COMES IN AND HAS AN EVENT TO RENT THE ENTIRE PARK AND SHUT THE PARK DOWN, THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY A FEE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

SO WE WERE LOOKING TO ADD THAT IN THERE. PREVIOUSLY RECOMMENDED BY COUNCIL WAS TO ALLOW ANGLETON ISD OR ANGLETON CHRISTIAN SCHOOL NONPROFIT GROUPS TO BE ABLE TO RENT PAVILION SPACE OR RENT THE PARK AT A DEPOSIT COST ONLY.

SO WE WERE JUST CODIFYING THAT AND PUTTING THAT INTO THE FEE SCHEDULE.

AND THEN MISCELLANEOUS FEES IS WE'RE RECOMMENDING AN ALCOHOL PERMIT FEE.

OLD WAY WAS THE REC CENTER HAD AN ADDITIONAL $250 THAT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH IF SOMEBODY HAD ALCOHOL AT THE EVENT.

WE'RE SAYING THAT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE A PERMIT.

SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO HAVE ALCOHOL, THAT IS JUST A FEE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PAY, WHETHER THAT BE AT A FACILITY OR BE AT A PARK.

I WILL SAY THE CAVEAT THAT GOES WITH THAT IS THEY ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO HAVE POLICE OFFICERS, AND THAT IS COORDINATED SPECIFICALLY WITH PD AND IS AN ADDITIONAL COST.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT GOES THROUGH US, BUT THEY HAVE TO SECURE.

PD HAS TO BE CONFIRMED BEFORE THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO THROUGH WITH THEIR RENTAL.

AND THEN SPECIAL EVENT PERMITS. THIS IS TO REPLACE THE MASS GATHERING PERMIT.

SO WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A LENGTHY PROCESS TO OVERHAUL THAT THE MASS GATHERING PERMIT TO ENSURE THAT ANYBODY THAT IS LOOKING TO DO A LARGE SCALE EVENT OR UTILIZATION OF THE PARK OR ANY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, THEY WOULD COMPLETE A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT.

AND WE'RE PROPOSING THAT THERE'S AN APPLICATION FEE AND TIERED DEPOSITS BASED ON THE SIZE OF THEIR EVENT.

A LOT OF INFORMATION. YEAH. IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS THINKING OF IS IT'S LIKE, OKAY, YOU'RE MAKING TAKING A BIG SWING AT THIS, YOU KNOW, CHANGING A LOT OF DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

[01:10:03]

YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE GETTING THAT GETTING THAT RETURN THAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR, LIKE, WHICH, WHICH ONE OF THE CATEGORIES IS THE THING THAT'S MAKING THE BIGGEST CHANGE? I WILL SAY SOME OF IT AS I MENTIONED, THE FEE SCHEDULE SHOULD BE REVIEWED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS IF OFFICIAL CHANGES. DO YOU REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THEY WERE CHANGED WOULD HAVE BEEN WHEN WE ADOPTED THE FEE ORDINANCE TO BEGIN WITH, WHICH I THINK WAS TWO YEARS AGO. AND SO, SOME OF THOSE WERE JUST CURRENT FEES.

THERE'S EVEN SOME THAT WERE CHANGES THAT YOU'LL NOTICE IN HERE.

WE'RE JUST ADDING FEES IN THAT WEREN'T ACTUALLY EVEN CAUGHT BEFORE WEREN'T CODIFIED IN THE ORIGINAL FEE SCHEDULE.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT OUR FEE SCHEDULE ONLINE, THERE WAS RENTALS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ASSOCIATED.

SO, AN EXAMPLE IS LIKE LAKESIDE. LAKESIDE WASN'T LISTED.

AND SO, WE WERE JUST ADDING THAT STUFF IN THERE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

BUT WE RECOGNIZE THAT SOME OF IT IS THERE IS SOME, SOME BIG CHANGES THAT ARE COMING.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS ASKED FROM COUNCIL WAS TO LOOK AT ALL AVENUES TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT WAYS TO INCREASE REVENUE.

YEAH. AND WE DON'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE CHANGES AND THEN, YOU KNOW, A MONTH, TWO MONTHS, THREE MONTHS LATER, MAKE ANOTHER CHANGE. YEAH. PEOPLE GET UPSET AT THAT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I'D SAY, YOU KNOW, MAKE LOOKING AT IT ONCE A YEAR TO SAY WE'LL MAKE THE CHANGES ANNUALLY.

BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS TO SAY, CAN WE DO IT WHERE IT'S LIKE IN SIX MONTHS FROM NOW, SAY, COME BACK AND SAY THIS IS IT'S HAVING THE DESIRED EFFECT OR IT'S NOT HAVING THE DESIRED EFFECT, NOT MAKING ANY CHANGES AT THAT TIME. JUST PROVIDE AN UPDATE AND DISCUSSION.

YEAH. ABOUT SIX MONTHS. ABSOLUTELY. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I'LL KIND OF MENTION WITH THAT IS THE GREAT EXAMPLE FOR THAT IS THE MEMBERSHIPS.

SO, WHEN WE ADOPTED THE CHANGE IN MEMBERSHIPS AND DAY PASSES, THOSE WERE TWO OF THE MAJOR CHANGES IN 2022.

IT TOOK A LITTLE TIME TO GET OVER THAT HURDLE THAT WENT WITH IT.

BUT WE ARE SEEING THE BENEFITS THAT COME FROM IT, AND WE HAVE SEEN THE INCREASE IN REVENUE.

AND ADDITIONAL TO THAT IS CHANGING. THE METHODOLOGY OF THE INCREASE IN SERVICE IS, YOU KNOW, THE MORE MEMBERS THAT COME IN, THE MORE MONEY THAT WE'RE ABLE TO POUR INTO THE REC CENTER AND DO FOR THE REC CENTER.

AND SO WE CAN DEFINITELY BRING THAT BACK. AND WE DO THAT WITH MONTHLY REPORTS TO KIND OF SHOW AND TRACK THAT STUFF OVER.

SO, WE CAN DEFINITELY SHOW THE TIME THAT WHEN THEY WERE ADOPTED TO THE INCREASE.

ONE OTHER THING, IT'S HELPFUL FOR US TO DO THAT ANYWAYS, BECAUSE IN OUR BUSINESS SPECIFICALLY, WE HAVE LOW AND PEAK SEASONS. AND SO, WE REALLY DO NEED TIME TO ASSESS, YOU KNOW, IF ANY OF THIS IS MAKING AN IMPACT.

YEAH. SO. BASED ON THAT; WE BELIEVE THAT THE ACTION IS FOR TO RECOMMEND THIS TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

I MAKE THAT MOTION. OKAY. THERE YOU GO. WE HAVE A MOTION.

SO AS IS AS IS. OKAY. SO, WE HAVE A MOTION FROM MEMBER DICKEY TO OFFER THIS ON AS IS. I'LL SECOND. A SECOND FROM MEMBER SMITH.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? WE'LL CALL FOR A VOTE. ALL RIGHT. ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. OKAY. THERE YOU HAVE IT.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. DO WE HAVE NUMBER FIVE? NUMBER FIVE. SO, DISCUSSION ON RECREATION CENTER AND RECREATION DIVISION'S OPERATIONS AND STAFFING STRUCTURE.

[5. Discussion on Angleton Recreation Center and Recreation Division's operations and staffing structure. ]

SO, IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT PAGE, NOT TO JUMP TOO FAR FORWARD, BUT PAGE 45 WOULD ACTUALLY IDENTIFY OUR CURRENT ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE. SO THAT OUTLINES YOU'LL SEE IN THE COLOR COPY OF IT THE GREEN IS THE RECREATION DIVISION.

AND THEN THE BLUE IS GOING TO BE THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER.

SO IT KIND OF SHOWS THE HIERARCHY OF HOW THOSE DIVISIONS OPERATE.

I WANTED TO POINT THAT ONE OUT FIRST, SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE AND HOW THE STRUCTURE OF THOSE WORKS AND HOW WE GO THROUGH DAY TO

[01:15:01]

AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER OPERATES SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

OUR HOURS OF OPERATIONS ARE 5 A.M. TO 9 P.M. MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

AND IT'S 8 TO 6 ON SATURDAY, AND THEN 1 TO 6 ON SUNDAY.

CURRENT OPERATION, AS FAR AS THE POOL GOES AND IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN OUR PEAK SEASON.

SO, YOU'LL SEE ON HERE THE 5:30 TO 7:30 P.M. SO THAT'S TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.

I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE PEAK SEASON BECAUSE WE'LL BE CONSIDERING THE ENTIRE DAY FOR THAT NON PEAK.

YOU WILL HAVE A BREAK FROM 1130 TO 430 WHERE WE DON'T OPERATE.

SO WE HAVE A BREAK IN THAT. AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT AS FAR AS OUR STAFFING STRUCTURE GOES.

AND THEN THE POOL IS OPEN FROM 830 TO 530 ON THE WEEKENDS AND 130 TO 530 ON SUNDAY.

I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THROW OFF THIS A LITTLE BIT IS HOLIDAYS.

WHEN WE HAVE CITY HOLIDAYS, WE HAVE ENTERED A STANDARD CLOSURE TIME.

SO ON CITY HOLIDAYS, IF IT'S NOT A CLOSED FACILITY.

SO THOSE ARE VERY MINIMAL. TYPICALLY, THAT IS CHRISTMAS.

THANKSGIVING EASTER I THINK ARE THE THREE MAIN CLOSURE ONES.

WE WOULD DO REDUCED HOURS, SO WE WOULD DO 8 TO 6.

WHAT'S THAT? OPEN NEW YEAR'S DAY. NEW YEAR'S.

THANK YOU. YES. THE OTHER ONES WOULD BE REDUCED HOURS.

SO WE WOULD DO AN 8 TO 6 AND THEN DEPENDING ON SCHOOLS.

SO EXAMPLE I'LL GIVE IS WE JUST RECENTLY HAD A HOLIDAY YESTERDAY.

NOT ALL THE SCHOOLS HEAD OFF. AND SO, STAFFING BECOMES AN ISSUE.

AND WE RECOGNIZE WHEN SCHOOL IS DONE OFF, WE DON'T SEE AN INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE LIKE WE NORMALLY WOULD.

SO WE KIND OF PARTNER THAT WITH THE POOL OPERATIONS.

SO, WE ADJUSTED OUR POOL HOURS. NORMALLY ON A HOLIDAY, LET'S SAY IT WAS MEMORIAL DAY.

THAT HOLIDAY HOURS WERE 8 TO 6 FOR THE FACILITY, BUT WERE 830 TO 530 FOR THE POOL.

SO, IT'S ACTUALLY OPEN ALL DAY BECAUSE WE SEE AN INFLUX OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING ON THOSE HOLIDAYS VERSUS ONE LIKE YESTERDAY, WE WOULDN'T HAVE SEEN AN INFLUX. SO OUR HOURS ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE REDUCED. OTHER THINGS THAT IMPACT IT IS OUR FACILITY IS CONSIDERED THE WARMING AND COOLING CENTER FOR ANGLETON.

AND SO, IN THE EVENT THAT WE HAVE ADVERSE WEATHER, WE ARE OPEN JUST LIKE THIS PAST YEAR WHEN THE HURRICANE CAME THROUGH, OUR FACILITY WAS UTILIZED AS AN EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR A LENGTH OF TIME, WHICH PROHIBITS US FROM NORMAL OPERATIONS.

SO IT'S THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN WE GO THROUGH THAT.

AS FAR AS STAFFING GOES, YOU WILL START AT THE TOP.

YOU HAVE YOUR FACILITY OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT OVERSEES FULL FACILITY OPERATIONS, BUILDING UPKEEP, SAFETY, COMPLIANCE. DIRECT REPORTS FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL INCLUDE THE AQUATICS MANAGER, WHICH WE HAVE ONE TWO MEMBER SERVICE ASSISTANTS AND THEN THREE PART TIME FACILITY ASSISTANTS. OUR AQUATIC MANAGER OVERSEES OUR NATATORIUM OPERATIONS AS THE MAIN PERSON THAT HAS THEIR CPO TO BE ABLE TO BALANCE CHEMICALS TO DO REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE THERE.

AND WE HAVE ONE FOR THAT. THEY OVERSEE WHEN FULLY STAFFED, ABOUT 25 TO 35 LIFEGUARDS.

AND THEN ABOUT 2 TO 3 WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTORS.

OUR MEMBER SERVICE ASSISTANTS. THE THEY PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

THEY HELP SUPPORT FRONT DESK OPERATIONS, MEMBERSHIPS, RENTALS DAY TO DAY.

SUPPORTING STAFF, OVERSEEING STAFF MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES BEING THAT CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU'RE COMING INTO THE FACILITY.

ONE OF OUR MEMBER SERVICE ASSISTANTS OVERSEES THE PART TIME STAFF DIRECTLY.

THAT IS ABOUT 7 TO 10 INDIVIDUALS. BUT I WANTED TO PROVIDE THE BREAKDOWN OF THEIR HOURS, BECAUSE THEIR HOURS DIRECTLY RELATE TO THE WAY THAT WE OPERATE.

SO WE HAVE OUR OPENING SHIFT. THAT INDIVIDUAL COMES IN AT 430, AND THEIR SHIFT GOES FROM 4:30 A.M.

TO 1:30 P.M., SO THAT IS A FULL TIME STAFF MEMBER.

AND THEN THE SECOND SHIFT IS THE DAY SHIFT. THEY COME IN AT 830.

THEY'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE A BREAK FOR THAT MORNING PERSON, AND THEN THEY ARE THERE UNTIL 5:30.

THE REASON THAT THE FIRST PERSON IS THERE TILL 1:30 IS THEY PROVIDE THE SECOND THE DAY SHIFT, THE BREAK AS WELL, TO ENSURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE APPROPRIATE COVER IN THE FACILITY.

THESE ARE FULL TIME POSITIONS THAT ARE SALARIED, THAT GETS BENEFITS.

THEY HAVE THAT OVERLAP. AND SO WE DON'T HAVE PART TIMERS THERE FOR THE MAJORITY OF THEIR SHIFTS AS THEY GO THROUGHOUT, THEY SPEND 50% OF THEIR TIME AT THE DESK DEDICATED TO WORKING THE FRONT DESK, AND THEN 50% OF THEIR TIME IS ADMIN WORK.

SO IT GIVES THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE AWAY FROM THE DESK.

IF YOU'VE EVER VISITED THE REC CENTER, DEPENDING ON WHEN YOU'RE THERE, IT CAN BE BUSY AT THE DESK, WHICH PREVENTS THEM FROM DOING ADMIN WORK. SO, THE DESIGN IS TO GET THEM 50% OF THEIR DAY TO MAKE PHONE CALLS, TO WORK WITH STAFF, TO TRAIN STAFF TO WORK THROUGH THOSE PROCESSES.

BUT THEY THAT THOSE FULL TIME POSITIONS CONSUME OUR OPENING SHIFT UNTIL ABOUT NOON.

[01:20:02]

SO, OUR FACILITY ASSISTANTS ARE DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH OUR FACILITY OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT.

THEY ARE A HELP TO MONITOR AND UPKEEP THE FACILITY.

THEY SUPPORT STAFF WELL, FULL TIME SUPERVISOR STAFF ARE OUT OF THE BUILDING.

THEY ARE CONSIDERED THE SUPERVISOR STAFF ON DUTY ON NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS.

SO, THEY COME IN AT 5:00 AND THEN THEY'RE THERE UNTIL CLOSE.

AND THEN THEY'RE THERE ALL WEEKEND. AND SO, THEY'RE CONSIDERED THE MAIN GO TO THE SUPERVISOR.

THE MANAGER ON DUTY, IF YOU WILL, WHILE FULL TIME STAFF ARE NOT IN THE BUILDING, THEN YOU HAVE YOUR FRONT DESK CLERKS, WHICH MAINLY WORK THE FRONT DESK. THEY ARE A PART TIME POSITION.

THEY WORK THE EVENING AND THE WEEKENDS AND ALTERNATE TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE FULL OPERATIONS TO SUPPORT THE NEED OF THE FACILITY.

THEN YOU HAVE LIFEGUARDS WHO WORK IN THE NATATORIUM.

SAME THING. HELP TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS, ENSURE SAFE ENVIRONMENTS, AND THEY ASSIST WITH LIKE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE DUTIES.

AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTORS WHO TEACH SWIM LESSONS FOR THE FACILITY.

MEGAN, CAN YOU GO TO THE FIRST EXCEL SHEET? I KNOW THIS ONE.

IS THAT ONE BACK? THAT ONE? YEAH. THANK YOU. SO YOU'LL SEE HERE IN YOUR PACKET.

SO, THIS ONE IS ON PAGE 41 I BELIEVE. NOPE. SORRY.

42. 42. SO, THIS ONE IS KIND OF GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE BREAK DOWN OUR STAFFING.

SO THIS IS AN EXCEL SHEET THAT WE USE TO TRULY GO THROUGH AND MAXIMIZE OPERATIONS OF THE FACILITY.

SO YOU'LL SEE RIGHT AT THE TOP IS WHERE IT'LL START TO BREAK DOWN.

RIGHT UP HERE IS THE TWO SECTIONS I'LL POINT OUT IS RIGHT HERE IS OUR NON-PEAK SEASON.

THIS IS OUR PEAK SEASON, AND THIS IS TRAINING AND OTHER.

SO, IT GOES THROUGH, AND WE BREAK IT DOWN TO SHOW THE EXACT NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WE NEED FOR A SHIFT TO COVER THE OPERATIONS OF THE FRONT DESK.

AND THEN INCLUDING THAT IS FACILITY SUPERVISION.

SO, YOU'LL SEE IN HERE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE VERY TOP THIS STARTS AT OUR 12:15.

SO OUR PART TIME STAFF COME IN. FIRST SHIFT IS 12:15 TO 5.

OUR SECOND SHIFT IS THEN GOING TO FOLLOW THAT FROM 5 TO 9.

AND WE HAVE TWO OF THOSE. SO IN THE EVENING THERE IS A FACILITY ASSISTANT AND THERE IS A FRONT DESK CLERK.

THOSE ARE THE TWO OPERATIONS PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE LIFEGUARDS.

SO LIFEGUARDS TALK TO IN A MINUTE. BUT ONCE LIFEGUARDS LEAVE, THEIR SHIFT ENDS ABOUT 7:30-7:45.

IT IS JUST THOSE TWO PEOPLE THAT ARE LEFT IN THE BUILDING IN THE EVENING.

IT'LL FOLLOW THAT SAME STRUCTURE AS YOU GO DOWN.

IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE NEXT SECTION HERE. THIS TALKS ABOUT WEEKENDS.

THIS IS FULL WEEKEND COVERAGE. SO WE HAVE AN OPENER.

WE HAVE A FACILITY SYSTEM ON. AND THEN WE BRING A SECONDARY A SECOND FRONT DESK CLERK IN DURING THE DAY TO HELP COVER WE HAVE A LOT OF RENTALS THAT GO ON, A LOT OF DIFFERENT PARTIES AND A LOT OF MORE USAGE THAT HAPPENS OVER THE DAYTIME.

SO, WE BRING A SECONDARY PERSON TO COME IN FOR THAT.

YOU'LL SEE THE SAME BREAKDOWN FOR OUR PEAK SEASON.

SO, WE CALCULATE THIS DOWN TO A T OF FOUR. GO BACK UP AGAIN.

THANK YOU. THIS IS CURRENTLY CALCULATED FOR THIS YEAR.

SO, THIS IS 37 WEEKS OF NON-PEAK SEASON. SO, OUR NON-PEAK SEASON CURRENTLY STARTS LABOR DAY AND GOES THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY.

SO, THIS IS TO CALCULATE 37 WEEKS OF NORMAL OPERATIONS AT THIS TO GET OUR TOTAL.

SAME THING HAPPENS FOR OUR PEAK SEASON AS WE CALCULATE THAT NUMBER.

TO GET OUR TOTAL FOR WHAT IT COSTS US TO RUN PEAK SEASON, WE DO ADD AN ADDITIONAL PERSON DURING PEAK SEASON.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, SOME ARE AT THE REC CENTER IS THE PLACE TO BE.

AND SO, TO KEEP UP WITH THAT DEMAND, WE BRING IN AN ADDITIONAL PART TIME STAFF IN DURING THE DAY TO BE ABLE TO HELP SUPPORT THAT.

AND THEN AGAIN, THIS ONE IS OUR TRAINING AND MISCELLANEOUS THINGS THAT FALL INTO THAT ARE WE HOLD BIWEEKLY MEETINGS WITH STAFF OR BIWEEKLY TO MONTHLY.

THEY NEED CPR CERTIFICATION. POOL PARTIES IS LISTED ON HERE.

SO, POOL PARTIES IS NOT IN NORMAL OPERATION SCHEDULE.

SO, WE CALCULATE IT. AND WHAT DOES IT COST US TO RUN POOL PARTIES.

AND THEN LAST ONE IS FATHER DAUGHTER. SO THAT WOULD BE MISCELLANEOUS. WE SUPPORT SOME FATHER DAUGHTER OPERATIONS TO ENSURE THERE'S SOMEBODY THERE TO HELP WITH FACILITY OPERATIONS SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON THEIR EVENTS. SO WE TRY TO TAKE ALL THOSE THINGS INTO ACCOUNT TO GET OUR FULL TOTAL FOR OPERATIONS OF THE FACILITY SIDE OF THINGS. IF YOU GO TO YOUR NEXT PAGE, SAME THING IS GOING TO BE FOR LIFEGUARDS.

THIS IS THE FULL BREAKDOWN FOR LIFEGUARDS. TOP SECTION IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN LIFEGUARD COVERAGE FOR THE NON-PEAK SEASON.

SO, THIS IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, THE 5:30 A.M.

[01:25:02]

CURRENTLY THEY'RE SLATED TO BE A LIFEGUARD. WE JUST WANT TO DELINEATE WHY THAT'S THERE AS THAT SLIDE COVERAGE.

YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE THAT THESE BREAKDOWNS HAVE FIVE GUARDS ON AT ALL TIMES.

SO, THIS ONE'S PRETTY SIMPLISTIC AS FAR AS HOW THAT GOES TO BREAKDOWN WHENEVER THE POOL IS OPEN, YOU GOT TO HAVE FIVE GUARDS ON IT. BUT WE BROKE IT DOWN ON NON PEAK SEASON.

AND THEN THEIR TRAINING THEY DO IN SERVICE AND POOL PARTIES.

AND SO WE GET OUR TOTAL THERE AS WELL. TO ANSWER THE QUESTION NO.

NO? OKAY. WHEN YOU GO TO YOUR NEXT PAGE THIS GIVES YOU YOUR FULL TOTAL.

SO YOU'LL SEE YOUR, YOUR PURPLES AND THEN YOUR RED.

THAT IS THE BREAKDOWN. SO FOR US WE GO THROUGH AND TRULY CALCULATE TO THE PENNY WHAT IT COSTS FOR A FRONT DESK CLERK TO BE THERE DURING THE PEAK SEASON WHAT IT COSTS FOR THEM TO DO THEIR TRAININGS, WHAT IT COSTS FOR A FACILITY ATTENDANT TO BE THERE? SAME THING FOR LIFEGUARDS. YOU'LL ALSO SEE INCLUDED IN HERE IS AQUATIC ASSISTANT.

I LEFT THAT IN THERE BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT FOR THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, THAT WHEN WE CAME BACK FOR REAPPROVAL, WE HAD REMOVED THAT.

IT ALSO HAS SWIM LESSONS INSTRUCTORS IN HERE SO WE CAN STAY ON FOR THAT COST RECOVERY.

BUT THAT IS A STAFFING COST TO BRING US WHAT OUR GRAND TOTAL IS THAT IT WAS WHAT OUR ORIGINAL REQUEST WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BUDGET YEAR, WAS THAT 367,000? AGAIN, TO POINT OUT, FOR THOSE ONES, THIS IS MINIMAL OPERATIONS TO ENSURE THAT THE FACILITY FUNCTIONS AT THE CAPACITY IT NEEDS TO. AS I MENTIONED, THE FACILITY ASSISTANCE, THERE'S ONE ON AT NIGHT WITH A FRONT DESK CLERK TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE TWO STAFF AT MINIMUM ON AT A CLOSING. AND THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT IT STICKS TO.

SO WE TRY TO PROVIDE THAT COVERAGE. ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS WITH A OR C BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE APPRECIATE THE BREAKDOWN.

YEAH, I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION. WHAT? HOW ARE WE DOING ON IN TERMS OF LIFEGUARD STAFFING AGAIN? GREAT QUESTION. WE'RE MOVING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

STAFF REACHED OUT TO OLD APPLICANTS THAT WERE IN THE PORTAL PRIOR TO THE HIRING FREEZE.

RIGHT. GOT A COUPLE RESPONSES ON THAT ONE. AND THEN WE'VE HAD A FEW ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS COME IN.

THERE IS. SO NEXT WEEK CLASSES. THERE'S A CLASS SLATED FOR NEXT WEEK TO GET GUARDS, SOME GUARDS TRAINED.

AND WE HAVE BROKE DOWN TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE CLASS A MONTH THROUGH UNTIL SUMMER.

SO WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS. BUT THE FREEZE DID HALT US TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT.

AND WE WERE TRYING TO BE MINDFUL, TRYING TO GET PEOPLE INTO A CLASS VERSUS ONE HERE, ONE HERE, ONE HERE. SO WE HAVE A CLASS NEXT WEEK. I'M NOT SURE THE TOTAL NUMBER.

I SAW CORRESPONDENCE GOING THROUGH THIS WEEK ALREADY TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE INTO THAT.

SO, WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS. OKAY. YEP. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON A OR C BREAKDOWN? GREAT. SO, WE'LL MOVE INTO REC DIVISION.

SO SIMILAR KIND OF STRUCTURE AND CONCEPT FOR THEIRS.

SO WE HAVE A RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT OVERSEES THE DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION, AND EVALUATION OF THE REC PROGRAMS. DIRECTLY OVERSEES SPECIAL EVENTS. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES.

RESPONSIBLE FOR BUDGETS, STAFF SUPERVISION. AND IT'S ALSO OUR MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS PERSON.

THEIR DIRECT REPORTS ARE THREE REC SPECIALISTS.

AND THEN IN THE EVENT THAT WE WOULD HAVE INTERNS FOR OUR FACILITY OR FOR THE REC DIVISION, THEY WOULD OVERSEE THOSE INDIVIDUALS AS WELL.

WHAT DO INTERNS COME FROM? UNIVERSITIES. SO, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THEM WILL.

SO WE HAD A STAFF MEMBER INTERNALLY THAT PART OF HER PROGRAM.

SHE WAS LOOKING FOR POTENTIAL INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, BUT IT DIDN'T FIT THE NEED OF WHAT HERS WERE.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM WERE FROM UNIVERSITIES THAT NEED THEM FOR CREDIT HOURS IN HIGH SCHOOL. ALSO, HIGH SCHOOL AS WELL? YEAH.

CURIOUS. YEAH. I ALSO WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE PROGRAMS AND EVENTS THAT THEY OVERSEE.

SO FOR THAT POSITION, JINGLE BELL RUN GARAGE SALE DOGGIE EGG HUNT, GREAT RACE, FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE AND JAMBOREE WERE ONES THAT WERE SLATED FOR THIS BUDGET YEAR. OUR REC SPECIALIST, WE HAVE A REC SPECIALIST FOR SENIOR PROGRAMS. DIRECT REPORTS THAT WOULD BE FOR THAT ONE WOULD BE A BUS DRIVER OR A CONTRACTED BUS DRIVER.

PROGRAMS THAT THEY OVERSEE ARE DAY TRIPS, OVERNIGHT TRIPS, CHRISTMAS PARTY, MONTHLY POTLUCKS, THANKSGIVING POTLUCK SOCIALS, CHERRY VOLLEYBALL, BEANBAG, BASEBALL TO JUST NAME A FEW OF THOSE.

WE HAVE OUR REC SPECIALIST FOR CAMPS AND RECREATION PROGRAMS. WE HAD A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. AS YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO REEVALUATE OUR STAFFING STRUCTURE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

LAST YEAR, WE DID THIS WITH OUR TWO SPECIALISTS AND REDEFINED SOME OF THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES.

[01:30:05]

WE RENAMED THIS ONE TO SPECIFICALLY FOCUS ON CAMPS.

AND THEN WE ADDED LEAGUES TO THE OTHER ONE, WHICH YOU'LL SEE.

BUT AS FAR AS DIRECT REPORTS WERE HERE IS THEIR SUMMER CAMP SUMMER PROGRAM ASSISTANTS.

THOSE SUPPORT CAMP IS ABOUT 4 TO 5 AND SOME OF THE EVENTS ARE SPLISH SPLASH, SWIM TALES, PUZZLE PALOOZA, FALL BREAK TRIP, WELLNESS, WALKERS, SUMMER CAMP, ADAPTIVE ARTS, AND EATS, WHICH IS A NEW PROGRAM FOR US, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT LITTLE CHEFS AND CAKE-OFF CHALLENGE.

AND THEN OUR THIRD REC SPECIALIST IS FOR LEAGUES AND OUTDOOR LEISURE.

THIS INDIVIDUAL WOULD HAVE DIRECT REPORTS OF THE TRACK COACHES PROGRAMS THAT THEY OVERSEE ARE GREEN GARDEN, MANY ATHLETES. JUNIOR PICKLEBALL. STARTING NIGHTS.

YOUTH VOLLEYBALL. YOUTH BASKETBALL. ADULT VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE.

AGRA ANGLETON. ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS AND VIRAL LEADERS ARE ADULT PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT THAT WE'RE HOPING TO BRING IN THE SUMMER AND THEN TRACK CAMP. AS FAR AS PART TIME STAFF GOES, THEY MAJORITY OF THEIR PART TIME STAFF IS DEDICATED TO SUMMER BECAUSE THAT'S OUR BUSY TIME OF THE YEAR. SO, OUR SENIORS SEEM SEASONAL PROGRAM ASSISTANTS.

THEY SUPPORT CAMPS AND EVENTS AND PROGRAMS. THEIR MAIN DEDICATION, ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR, WOULD BE TO OUR SUMMER CAMP AND ENSURING THAT WE ARE STAYING WITHIN RATIO BASED ON OUR STANDARDS OF CARE THAT IS ADOPTED BY COUNCIL EACH YEAR.

AND THEN WE HAVE OUR TRACK COACHES, WHICH IS FOR THE SUMMER AS WELL.

THEY HELP LEAD AND DEVELOP THAT TRACK PROGRAM, FOCUSING ON SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND TEAMWORK, AND KIND OF PROVIDES A BREAKDOWN OF THEIRS. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THEIR STAFFING BREAKDOWN ON PAGE 41.

SO YOU'LL SEE HOW THEIR STAFFING IS CALCULATED OUT.

SO, ROAD WARRIORS TRACK CAMP IS UP HERE AT THE TOP.

WE CALCULATE THAT OUT BASED ON THE HEAD TRACK COACH AND ASSISTANT.

AND THEN THE BREAKDOWN THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRAM, WITH TRAINING AND THEIR WEEKLY MEETINGS TO COME UP WITH THEIR FULL TOTAL OF ABOUT $33,000.

RIGHT HERE. SUMMER CAMP, WE GO THROUGH THE SAME METHODOLOGY.

HOW LONG IS THE CAMP? SO, THIS YEAR WAS PROJECTED TO BE EIGHT WEEKS.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR FOUR PART TIME STAFF THAT WOULD AVERAGE 40 HOURS A WEEK.

THEY HAVE THEIR TRAINING IN CPR, AND THEY HAVE THEIR MEETINGS.

AND IT'S ABOUT $16,000 FOR SUMMER CAMP. CONTRACTED BUS DRIVER IS INCLUDED ON HERE, BUT THAT IS A DIRECT COST THAT GOES WITH THE SENIOR PROGRAMING.

THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT IT SHOWS THE METHODOLOGY OF HOW WE BREAK THAT DOWN TO COME UP WITH THAT NUMBER.

AND THEN WE HAVE SOME PART TIME HELP THAT WE LOOK FOR LEAGUE HELP THAT IF WE HAVE THE FUNDING BASED ON HOW SUMMER CAMP GOES TO SUPPORT. AND THEN THEY ALSO OFFSET THE COST.

THE REC CENTER PROVIDES ONE PART TIME EMPLOYEE TO SUPPORT SPRING BREAK.

AND SO ONE OF THEIR FRONT DESK CLERKS ACTUALLY WORKS FOR THE SPRING BREAK CAMP, BUT THEY COVER THE COST THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE TOTAL THAT'S BROKEN DOWN FOR THEM.

JOEL, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE REC DIVISION? RECORDING IN PROGRESS. THE ACTION ITEMS. NO ACTION.

THIS WAS A REC. THIS WAS ASKED OF ABLC FROM PREVIOUS MEETING TO COME TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE.

SO THEY HAD A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE STRUCTURE.

I WILL SAY IT WILL TIE DIRECTLY TO, I BELIEVE, OUR FINAL AGENDA ITEM.

RIGHT. SO BUT JUST TO PROVIDE THAT BREAKDOWN OF IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

WHERE DO WE SIT? I GUESS THAT'S THE NEXT PART.

ALL RIGHT. NUMBER SIX DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE HIRING FREEZE FOR FRONT DESK FACILITY ASSISTANT WATER SAFETY

[6. Discussion and possible action on the hiring freeze for Front Desk, Facility Assistant, Water Safety Instructors, and seasonal summer and track camp staff. ]

THAT'S IT. HERE AGAIN. THANKS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

THANKS. SO, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THIS WAS A ON JANUARY 8TH.

THE CITY MANAGER INSTITUTED A HIRING FREEZE ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL OF CITY OF ANGLETON EMPLOYEES.

WE QUESTIONED THAT TO RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THAT WOULD IMPACT OPERATIONS.

SO WE CAME TO ABQ ON JANUARY 27TH TO HAVE A DISCUSSION REGARDING THAT, OF ALL THINGS, ACROSS THE BOARD AS FAR AS HIRING FREEZE, OT COMP TIME, ALL THAT, WE HAVE DWINDLED THIS DOWN BASED ON SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME FROM COMING BACK TO TALK ABOUT THE DISCUSSION ITEMS. AND REALLY NARROWED OUR FOCUS AT THAT TIME, THE BOARD APPROVED US TO APPROACH COUNCIL TO LIFT THE HIRING FREEZE FOR LIFEGUARDS.

[01:35:02]

SO WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ONBOARDING AND HIRING ADDITIONAL LIFEGUARDS.

HOWEVER, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DID NOT ADDRESS WAS THE OTHER PART TIME STAFF.

SO KIND OF GOING TO BREAK SOME OF THOSE DOWN.

AS WE MENTIONED, FRONT DESK STAFF, OUR FRONT DESK STAFF SERVE THE CAPACITY OF WORKING AT THE FRONT DESK.

THEIR HOURS OF OPERATIONS THAT THEY SUPPORT ARE FROM 1215 UNTIL 915.

THAT 12:00 ONE PROVIDES OUR MEMBER SERVICE ASSISTANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO ADMIN WORK.

THE 5:00 ONE, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL COVERAGE THAT'S AT THE DESK.

THERE IS NO FULL TIME STAFF THAT ARE AT THE FACILITY BASED ON CURRENT HOURS OR STAFFING HOURS.

THE FACILITY ASSISTANTS WORK HAND IN HAND WITH THAT.

HOWEVER, THE DIFFERENCE THERE IS, THEY DON'T COME IN UNTIL 5:00.

THEY ARE ON NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS. THEY SERVE AS THE SECOND PERSON IN THE BUILDING.

SO SPECIFICALLY AT NIGHT. SO I KNOW LIFEGUARDS ARE THERE.

THEY COME IN A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. THEIR SCHEDULES DICTATE THAT THEY COME IN TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE POOL FROM 430 TO 730.

HOWEVER, WHEN THEY LEAVE AT 730, THAT WOULD LEAVE ONE PERSON AT THE DESK.

SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A SUPERVISOR ON DUTY TO HANDLE CUSTOMER SERVICE STUFF.

THEY WERE MORE HIGHLY TRAINED. INDIVIDUALS GO THROUGH DIFFERENT KIND OF TRAINING WHEN THEY'RE IN ONBOARDING TO SUPPORT THE FRONT DESK OPERATIONS AND THE LIFEGUARDS.

SO TROUBLESHOOTING, THEY ALSO SET UP FOR RENTALS DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT ARE GOING ON.

SO THAT TIES INTO LIKE THE WEEKEND FRONT DESK WORKS.

THE FRONT DESK AND THE FACILITY ASSISTANT IS THE ONE THAT CAN GO SET UP FOR A RENTAL. SO WHEN OUR RENTALS TURN OVER, THAT'S THE SECONDARY PERSON. AS I MENTIONED, THAT WE BRING IN A SECOND FRONT DESK PERSON TO HELP MANAGE PEOPLE COMING IN FOR THE RENTALS SETUP BREAKDOWN. ALSO DAY PASSES, ALL THINGS ALIKE WITH THAT.

SO THOSE ARE THE TWO OPERATION POSITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTORS.

THE REASON THIS ONE'S ON HERE, IF YOU ALL RECALL, YOU APPROVED THE DECISION PACKAGE FOR WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTORS, BUT WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A DISCUSSION ON HIRING FOR THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, ONE OF OUR TWO LIFE OR WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTORS HAS LEFT, AND SO WE'RE NOW DOWN TO ONE. AND SO TO ENSURE THAT PROGRAM WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE, WE WOULD HAVE THE NEED TO HIRE ANOTHER ONE.

WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTORS IS A 100% COST RECOVERY.

SO THAT FALLS INTO A CATEGORY. WHAT IS PAID FOR THAT PROGRAM? THAT PROGRAM DOESN'T HAPPEN UNLESS THE MINIMUM IS MET WHICH PAYS FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL.

SO EXAMPLE I'LL GIVE WITH THAT ONE IS IN A GIVEN CALENDAR YEAR.

IF WE ARE MAXED OUT FOR THEIR HOURS BASED ON WHAT WE PROJECTED, THE COST IS ABOUT $10,000.

THE REVENUE WOULD BE ABOUT 20,000. SO THEIR COST MEASURE IS THERE TO TO BE ABLE TO DICTATE THAT.

THE SEASONAL SUMMER PROGRAM AIDES ARE FOR TRACK CAMP AND SUMMER CAMP.

THESE ARE ALSO DIRECTLY RELATED TO COST RECOVERY MODEL, JUST AS WE TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY.

THESE WOULD FALL IN LINE WITH THAT 50% COST RECOVERY.

AND IF WE WERE TO ADOPT THAT COST RECOVERY MODEL TO INCREASE THE PRICE FOR INDIRECT COSTS, IT WOULD ALIGN WITH THAT 50%. SO I DO WANT TO POINT THAT OUT.

HOWEVER, WE ALSO ARE COMING TO THE BOARD FOR THEIR INPUT AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT GO WITH IT.

I WILL SAY THAT DEPENDING ON WHAT THE BOARD'S DECISION IS OR SAME THING WE'LL SAY TO COUNCIL FOR THE REC DIVISION ONES, FOR SEASONAL PROGRAM ASSISTANCE. AND SPECIFICALLY IF WE THAT DOESN'T WE DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIRE FOR THAT.

WE WON'T BE ABLE TO OFFER SUMMER CAMP AT THE SAME CAPACITY.

AND WHEN I SAY SAME CAPACITY, WE WOULD HAVE TO RE EXPLORE WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE TO DETERMINE IF WE OFFERED JUST ONE FOR OUR FULL TIME STAFF TO RUN, WHICH IS FOR ABOUT TEN KIDS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE ONE SLATED FOR 40 KIDS AND STAFF TO COVER THAT.

SO IF THE PART TIME STAFF IS NOT, IF WE CAN'T HIRE FOR THAT, THAT REVENUE WOULD NOT COME IN THE SAME.

SO IT WOULD IMPACT REVENUES JUST LIKE IT WOULD.

YES, IT WOULD SAVE MONEY BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SPENDING IT, BUT YOU WOULD ALSO NOT GET THE REVENUE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

SO WE WANT TO OPEN THAT UP FOR DISCUSSION. OTHER THING I WILL POINT OUT AS FAR AS STAFFING GOES FOR THE REC CENTER FACILITY ASSISTANCE, WE CURRENTLY HAVE TWO. THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO WORK UP TO ABOUT 19 HOURS A WEEK.

THAT POSITION CURRENTLY SERVES ABOUT 4139. WE USUALLY LIKE TO HAVE THREE TO HELP ALLEVIATE THAT IF WE LOSE ONE OF THEM.

IT'S GOING TO IMPACT OPERATIONS ON HOW WE OPERATE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT AN 8 TO 5 FACILITY.

WE ARE A 5 A.M. TO 9 P.M. IN THE WEEKEND. SAME THING FOR FRONT DESK IS IN THE EVENT IF WE LOSE.

IT PUTS US BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL TO DO THAT. TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE.

SO IT MAY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO OFFER QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR OPERATE THE FACILITY TO THE CAPACITY THAT NEEDS TO BE.

[01:40:10]

SO IF I MAY, I'LL START WITH THE I SEE WHAT YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS, IS TO TO FOREGO A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY COUNCIL.

BUT I'D LIKE TO GET MORE SPECIFIC IN THERE AND SAY, WHAT ARE WE RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO COMPLETELY LIFT THE HIRING FREEZE? OR YOU WANT IT? HOW MANY, HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS OR PART TIME ARE WE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THAT YOU REALLY NEED? SO THIS WAS ONE OF THE DISCUSSION THAT CAME LAST TIME.

AS FAR AS PART TIME STAFF GO, WE ONLY OPERATE WITHIN OPERATIONAL HOURS.

SO THE DIFFICULT THING THAT COMES FROM IT IS IF I GO HIRE ONE PERSON, RIGHT, THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE FULL AVAILABILITY.

THEY MIGHT GIVE ME MONDAY, WEDNESDAY FRIDAY, SATURDAY.

WELL, THAT MIGHT ONLY FEEL PART OF MY NEED. I MIGHT NEED SUNDAY AS WELL, SO I NEED TO TAKE A SECOND PERSON.

THAT WILL ONLY WORK SUNDAY. THEY COULD BE AVAILABLE TUESDAY, THURSDAY AND SUNDAY.

WELL, I DON'T NEED TUESDAY. THURSDAY, I NEED SUNDAY.

TWO BODIES FILL THE SAME VACANCY. AND SO FOR PART TIME STAFF, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE BECAUSE IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT THEIR AVAILABILITY LOOKS LIKE.

BECAUSE YOU'RE WORKING WITH A VARYING A DIVERSE GROUP TO WHERE SOME OF THEM AREN'T ALWAYS AVAILABLE AND SOME OF THOSE.

SO IT'S HARD TO NECESSARILY PINPOINT, HEY, THIS IS YOU'RE ALLOWED TO HIRE ONE MORE.

WELL, WE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR THAT DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH THAT HAS FULL AVAILABILITY.

AND SO YES, IT OPENS THAT, BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY OPEN IT IN AN EFFICIENT WAY.

NOW DIFFERENCE WOULD BE SEASONAL PROGRAM ASSISTANTS.

WE HAVE ONLY SLATED TO HIRE FOR. SO THEIRS IS CORRECT FOR.

SO THEIRS WOULD BE CAPPED AT THAT, LIKE WE WOULD ONLY HIRE FOR BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR IT IS OPERATIONS OF SUMMER CAMP.

THEY ARE SPLIT SHIFTS TO WHERE THEY COME IN. 1 OR 2 OF THEM COME IN EARLY, TWO OF THEM LEAVE LATE, AND THEY WORK THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND THEN THEY'RE DONE 40 HOURS A WEEK AND THEY'RE IN AND OUT. TRACK COACHES IS PRETTY SIMILAR TO THAT.

TWO TRACK COACHES, CORRECT. WOULD SUFFICE FOR THAT.

OPERATIONS IS VERY MUCH DIFFERENT VERSUS SIGNING UP FOR A VERY SELECT PROGRAM.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION COULD BE THERE IF YOU WANTED TO SAY, HERE'S YOUR MAX.

DEFINITELY COULD DO THAT. REC DIVISION IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

THAT ONE. YEAH. YOU COULD SAY THAT FOR I MEAN, FOUR IS OUR MAX.

ANYWAYS, TO OPERATE WHAT WE PROPOSED WITHIN THE BUDGET AND THEN TWO FOR TRACK COACHES OPERATIONS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

LIKE, IDEALLY I COULD TELL YOU FACILITY ASSISTANT, WE WOULD GO WITH THREE LIKE WE HAVE TWO RIGHT NOW, WHEN WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THREE AND THAT WOULD BE THAT NUMBER.

WHEREAS FRONT DESK IS 1 OR 2 COULD SERVE THAT PURPOSE.

IT JUST REALLY DEPENDS ON THAT. BUT THE FORECASTING TO LOOK AT FOR THEM IS WE DO ADD AN ADDITIONAL POSITION IN THE SUMMER.

AND SO DEPENDING ON WHAT AVAILABILITY LOOKS LIKE, WE MAY HAVE THE NEED TO HIRE AN ADDITIONAL ONE IN THE SUMMER.

SO IT'S NOT REALLY LIKE I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S HEY, WE'RE GOING TO GO HIRE TEN PEOPLE.

SENIOR OR THE CAMP STAFF IS PRETTY EASY. TRACK CAMP IS PRETTY EASY.

FACILITY ASSISTANT AGAIN IS PRETTY EASY. THE FRONT DESK IS THE ONE THAT GETS.

YEAH. SO SO BASICALLY IT'S HIRING A POSITION AND NOT NECESSARILY THE PERSONNEL.

YEAH. YEAH. IT'S IT'S NOT LIKE MINE IS A FULL TIME POSITION.

IT'S NOT JUST FILLING THAT. IT'S OPERATIONAL NEEDS.

YEAH. YES. ARE THESE ARE THESE POSITIONS COMPLETELY FUNDED BY AVC? YES. YEAH. SO GOING BACK TO YOUR POINT, I MEAN, IF YOU WANTED TO RECOMMEND FOR THE PROGRAM ASSISTANTS FOR SUMMER CAMP TO, FOR TRACK ONE FOR FACILITY ASSISTANTS AND TWO FOR FRONT DESK, I THINK THAT WOULD GET US WHERE WE NEEDED TO.

IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE NUMBER SIDE OF IT REAL QUICK.

YEP. SORRY. JUST ONE THING TO CLARIFY AGAIN WITH THE RECREATION CENTER, IT IS HOURS OF OPERATION PROGRAMS. WE CAN SAY THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE WOULD GIVE AS STAFF IS TO HIRE THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS RECOMMENDED FOR RECREATION PROGRAMS, SEASONAL RECREATION PROGRAMS, WHICH WAS JUST MENTIONED FOR FOR SUMMER CAMP TWO FOR TRACK.

IN ORDER FOR US TO BRING IN THAT REVENUE, WE WOULD LIKE THE ABILITY TO ALSO HIRE A WSI INSTRUCTOR, BECAUSE WE WILL LIKELY NEED A SECOND ONE TO BRING IN 100%, OVER 100% COST RECOVERY ON THAT REVENUE GENERATING PROGRAM.

[01:45:08]

SO IF YOU APPROVE US ONE THAT DOES US NO GOOD HERE THIS EVENING.

WE REALLY NEED THE FREEZE LIFTED ON POSITIONS RELATED TO THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER, BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU SAY, OKAY, YOU'RE OPEN FOR ONE, WE MIGHT COME BACK TO YOU IN APRIL AND SAY, WELL, WE HAD TO LEAVE, SO WE NEED TO HIRE TWO MORE IN ORDER TO OPERATE.

SO AS WE COME TO YOU ALL WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION, IT REALLY IS TO ALLOW THE FREEZE TO BE LIFTED FOR SPECIFICALLY FACILITY ASSISTANCE AND FRONT DESK STAFF TO OPERATE THAT FACILITY.

SO AS THEY COME AND GO, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO HIRE AND TRAIN WITHOUT HAVING TO COME TO A CITY AND CITY COUNCIL EVERY SINGLE TIME.

SO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS LIKE NOMENCLATURE.

IF YOU WERE TO SAY ONE, YOU WOULD YOU WOULD DEEM THAT AS A SINGLE PERSON.

AND SHOULD THAT PERSON BE FIRED AND THEN FOR WHATEVER REASON, LEAVE.

THAT WAS ONE. SO WE'D HAVE TO COME BACK AND ASK FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO BE FILLED.

NOT NECESSARILY, BECAUSE REMEMBER, IT DEPENDS ON THE AVAILABILITY. SO THAT PERSON THAT LEFT MAYBE ONLY WORKED SUNDAYS, BUT WE COULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE OTHER PEOPLE THAT FILL THAT NEED OR, OR DON'T PEOPLE WE'RE WORKING WITH SOME ADULTS AND YOUTH POSITIONS OR NUMBERS.

I LOOK AT IT NEITHER. THOSE ARE THE SAME IN MY HEAD.

I WOULD PREFER TO SAY OURS. WE HAVE GOT TO OPERATE THE HOURS OF THE FACILITY.

UNLESS YOU SAY WE'RE GOING TO OPERATE THE FACILITY LESS HOURS.

BUT IN ORDER TO OPERATE THAT FACILITY, YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE OPERATING, CORRECT THEIR STANDARD OPERATING HOURS.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO INTENTIONALLY HIRE MORE PEOPLE THAN WE NEED TO EMPLOY THERE TO EXPEND MORE MONEY THAT WE KNOW WE DON'T NEED TO BE SPENDING.

THAT IS NOT THE INTENT. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO PROPERLY STAFF THE FACILITY TO OPERATE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT BUCKETS. CORRECT? YES. WE HAVE OUR GENERAL FUND, WHICH IS GENERALLY HOW THE CITY WOULD RUN ITS PROPORTION.

BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ABLAK THE EMPLOYEES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PULLED OUT OF THAT BUCKET.

CORRECT. OKAY. AND OKAY, SO PROCEDURALLY AND I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE A BIGGER DEAL THAN IT IS.

ARE YOU TELLING THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO OVERRIDE THE CITY MANAGER WHEN IT COMES TO.

NO, NO. WE STAFF WAS DIRECTED TO COME TO ABLAK FOR A FOR RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE HIRING FREEZE.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID. ON JANUARY 27TH. WE WERE ASKED TO COME BACK WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT EACH OF THESE POSITIONS BEFORE DECISIONS WERE MADE ABOUT THE HIRING FREEZE, AS IT RELATED TO ALL THE THINGS THAT WE JUST MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS ITEM.

AND SO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS WE WE HAVE COME BACK TO YOU WITH ALL OF THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS, THE DUTIES, AND WE ARE TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHAT BRINGS IN MONEY VERSUS ALSO HOW WE NEED TO BE STAFFED IN ORDER TO OPERATE A FACILITY.

AND THOSE ARE TWO ENTIRELY SEPARATE THINGS. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION GOES BACK TO IS HOURS OF SERVICE.

AND ARE WE, TO ME, SATISFIED WITH HOW WE'RE GOING TO OPERATE? BECAUSE ALL YOU'RE ASKING FOR IS THE PEOPLE TO ALLOW YOU TO OPERATE FOR THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER, BUT THEN ALSO SEPARATE FROM THAT RECREATION PROGRAMING ARE VERY SPECIFIC POSITIONS.

NOW YOU CAN SAY POSITIONS AND TITLES FOR THAT ONE.

THOSE ARE FOR SUMMER CAMP, YOU KNOW, COUNSELORS, IF YOU WILL, AND TWO TRACK COACHES.

BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT THOSE PROGRAMS, THEN YOU CAN MAINTAIN THE HIRING FREEZE.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE CANNOT ADVERTISE FOR THOSE POSITIONS.

SO WHEN YOU SAY MAINTAIN THE HIRING FREEZE, THAT'S WHAT'S THROWING ME OFF. SO SO THE HIRING FREEZE, THE HIRING FREEZE IMPACTS THESE INDIVIDUALS. WE CANNOT PUBLISH THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS TO IMPLEMENT THE HIRING FREEZE.

THE CITY MANAGER. RIGHT. SO IF WE ARE TO GO, ARE WE OVERRIDING IT? THAT'S MY QUESTION. NO. THE CITY MANAGER GAVE US DIRECTION TO COME, TO ASK FOR FOR DIRECTION.

AND SO IF YOU PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION FROM ABC, WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.

YEAH, WE WOULD TAKE THAT TO CITY COUNCIL PER THE CITY MANAGER'S DIRECTION, TO PROVIDE THE RECOMMENDATION.

AND SO I THINK THE WAY I KEEP LOOKING AT IT IS, IS THAT LOOKING AT IT INSTEAD OF PERSONNEL OR BODIES OR WHATEVER, LOOK AT IT AS IN TERMS OF SHIFTS. OKAY. YOU'RE CURRENTLY RUNNING ANGLETON REC CENTER WHERE YOU GOT OKAY, WE GOT TWO SHIFTS. WELL, THEY HAVE BODIES THAT COVER THESE SHIFTS.

IF ONE PERSON QUITS AND THEY STILL HAVE SOMEBODY TO FILL THAT SHIFT, IT'S STILL THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY GOING OUT, RIGHT? BUT WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR IS THEY'RE SAYING WE WANT TO ADD ANOTHER SHIFT.

[01:50:03]

SO IF SOMEONE LEAVES AND WE DON'T HAVE THEM TO FILL THAT SHIFT, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HIRE SOMEONE TO FILL THE SHIFT. YEAH.

I THINK WHAT WE'RE DOING IS THAT WE WANT TO FILL THE VOID THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE, RIGHT? SO NOTHING'S NEW CREATED. CORRECT. SO THE THING IS, IT'S IT'S LIKE FORMALITY, THE FORMALITY.

YOU JUST WANT US TO SAY, PLEASE GO HIRE PEOPLE ONLY WHEN WE NEED TO.

WELL OF COURSE. YEAH. ONLY. AND THAT IS THE DESIGN.

THE SCARIEST EXAMPLE OF THE SHIFTS, RIGHT? PLEASE GO HIRE PEOPLE TO FILL THE SHIFTS THAT ARE ALREADY AUTHORIZED.

AUTHORIZED? YES. SO IT'S WITHIN FUNDING. IT'S NOT ASKING FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING, ANY ADDITIONAL ADDS ON.

IT IS JUST SAYING. SO THE EXAMPLE OF THE FACILITY ASSISTANCE, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE SAYING A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS, BUT WE'RE USING DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY. SO OUR FACILITY ASSISTANCE, THEY OPERATE NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS. THE TWO OF THEM ARE GETTING CLOSE TO MAX HOURS.

SO WE OPERATE WITH THREE, WHICH NOW IF YOU TAKE THE 39 HOURS AND YOU DROP THAT BETWEEN THREE OF THEM, THEY ALL GET LESS HOURS. IT'S STILL THE SAME 39 HOURS.

WHETHER IT'S THREE PEOPLE, IT'S TWO PEOPLE, IT'S SIX PEOPLE, BUT IT'S STILL 39 HOURS, RIGHT? BUT NOW WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE THINGS IN THE SUMMERTIME, LIKE SUMMER CAMP, YOU'RE SAYING YOU'VE ALREADY GOT THE PEOPLE AVAILABLE TO FILL THOSE.

WE DO NOT. SO WE ARE CURRENTLY ON A HIRING FREEZE FOR THOSE.

THAT ONE IS JUST DIFFERENT THAN OPERATIONS FILLING BECAUSE THEY'RE SIGNING UP TO WORK SUMMER CAMP TO WORK THOSE HOURS.

YEAH. AND THEIRS IS BASED ON WE NEED FOUR TO OPERATE THAT PROGRAM.

RIGHT. BASED ON THE WAY IT WAS ORIGINALLY. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING THE SUMMER CAMP WOULD BE LIKE. NOW WE'RE GOING TO ADD. YEAH. SO WE WE HAVE NOT PROMOTED THAT ONE YET.

SUMMER CAMP IS DUE TO BE PROMOTED TO THE PUBLIC FOR REGISTRATION AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO EVEN SECURE ENOUGH, AND SO I THINK IT'S MORE OF A FORMALITY.

SO THE THING IS, IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GOING AROUND CITY MANAGEMENT AND WE'RE NOT TRYING TO OVERRIDE THAT.

I THINK BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT THE BALL IS IN OUR COURT TO RECOMMEND, SO WE CAN PUT IT BACK IN THEIR COURT SO THEY CAN DECIDE WHAT WE SHOULD DO ABOUT THE FREEZE. SO IT'S JUST FOR US TO SAY, HEY, OKAY, WELL, WE RECOMMEND THAT IF WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO VOIDS, LET'S GO AHEAD AND JUST CREATE A SITUATION WHERE YOU GUYS HAVE THE BALL IN YOUR COURT.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND FILL THIS. YEAH. AND THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DECIDE HOW THE IMPACT WOULD BE ON SERVICES TO THE FACILITY OR SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE, SUCH AS SUMMER CAMP, BECAUSE THEY COULD TRULY DECIDE WE DON'T WANT TO LIFT IT.

AND SO SUMMER CAMP IS NO LONGER AND THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T AB AS ABLC.

WE'RE NOT AGAINST FILLING THE VOID. YEAH. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE ON MY SIDE.

THROUGH YOUR CALCULATIONS, WE ARE. I KNOW WE'VE DRAWN OUT OF THE ABLAK FUND AND TRANSFERRED FUNDS TO THE CITY.

WE'RE STILL IN A PLACE TO OPERATE. IF WE WERE TO FILL ALL THE SHIFTS, WE WOULD.

WE WERE NOT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT. THESE ARE FULLY BUDGETED IN OUR ORIGINAL BUDGET.

IT'S NOT IN ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING. IT IS TO STAY WITHIN BUDGET JUST TO HAVE THE BODIES TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE.

I GET IT. YEAH YEAH YEAH. NO NO EXTRA I YEAH I GOT THE NO EXTRA I'M JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE THERE AND OUR, OUR BUCKET IS FULL THAT WE CAN DRAW ON IT.

AND, AND I KNOW WE'VE MADE SOME WE HAD MADE A SHIFT JUST LAST MEETING I BELIEVE SO AND THAT'S THE PART THAT GOES WITH IT IS THIS IS A REVENUE GENERATING FACILITY AND THEN REVENUE GENERATING PROGRAMS. AND SO TRYING TO DELINEATE THAT. OF OUR OPERATIONS, IF WE IMPACT OPERATIONS AND WE LOSE PEOPLE AND CAN'T OPERATE THE SAME HOURS, IT COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON REVENUE. SO YES, YOU MAY NOT BE SPENDING, BUT YOU ARE ALSO LOSING THE REVENUE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO.

AND TO THROW THE SIDE NOTE IN, I KNOW THE LAST MEETING, I DON'T THINK I WAS AROUND FOR THAT ONE, BUT I KNOW WE GOT THAT 50% AND WE'RE GOING FROM THE 28%, 25%.

SO MAYBE ALL THIS CAN, AT SOME POINT IN TIME GET US BACK DOWN TO THAT 24% AND 20%.

YEAH, I THINK THERE WAS DISCUSSION THAT THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A ONE TIME DONATION, JUST ONE TIME.

AND THEN WE WERE REEVALUATING. WE WOULD REEVALUATE AND POTENTIALLY ROLL BACK.

IT MAY NOT BE ALL THE WAY BACK TO 25 THE FIRST TIME WE MAY HAVE TO WORK OUR WAY BACK, BUT BUT YEAH, BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN IT WAS 25. YEAH.

SO SO ANYWAY, SO I'M GOOD WITH THIS. SO THAT WAS THE DISCUSSION.

YES. YEAH. ONE QUESTION, THOUGH, IS IN TERMS OF TIME FRAME, IT SAYS DO YOU NEED THEM NOW OR BY MARCH 31ST.

SO WE NEED IT. SO PART OF IT IS A TWO PHASED APPROACH.

SO AS ALL HIRING GOES IT DEPENDS ON THE POSITION.

RIGHT. BUT SUMMER CAMP IS ABOUT TO BE ADVERTISED TO THE PUBLIC FOR REGISTRATION AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH.

[01:55:03]

THE OPERATION SIDE OF THINGS. I CAN'T PREDICT WHO'S GOING TO BE HERE TOMORROW.

SO WE COULD GET SOMEBODY THAT COMES IN AND RESIGNS TOMORROW, AND WE FILLED THAT VOID THE BEST WE CAN.

BUT WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO HIRE TO FILL THAT, IT'S.

IT WOULD IMPACT OPERATIONS. SO. SO DOES ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? WELL, THAT'S A TOUGH MOTION. YEAH. I'LL START.

I GUESS IT SAYS SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU SAID FOUR OR THE PART TIME ONE MAINTENANCE WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTOR.

I DON'T THINK THEY WANT NUMBERS. YEAH, I THINK THEY JUST WANT TO BE FULLY FUNDED AND THEN THEY WANT IT SEPARATELY ISSUED FOR THE PART TIME, WHICH THE SPECIALIST, WHICH IS THE SUMMER CAMP COUNSELORS AND THE TWO TRACK COACHES.

I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO IMPLEMENT THAT PROGRAMING, IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH IMPLEMENTING THAT PROGRAM, THEN YES, SPECIFICALLY ARTICULATE THOSE SIX POSITIONS TOTAL. THE REMAINDER IS JUST TO OPERATE THE FACILITY AT ITS THE SIMPLE VERSION.

I THINK YOU COULD SAY TO OPERATE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THOSE ALREADY ALLOCATED PROGRAMS, BECAUSE THE WHAT WAS PROPOSED FOR SUMMER CAMP WAS THE FOUR POSITIONS. AND SO WHETHER THAT HAS A NUMBER OR NOT, IT THAT'S THE NUMBER THAT'S TO OPERATE THAT PROGRAM.

IT WOULD JUST ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL FOR THEM TO HIRE OR TO LIFT THE HIRING FREEZE FOR THOSE THOSE PROGRAMS AND FOR US TO HIRE STAFF AS NEEDED TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS. COULD WE PHRASE IT TO SAY AUTHORIZATION TO HIRE? I WOULD START WITH, DO YOU RECOMMEND? I MEAN, YOU COULD SAY ANY WAY YOU WANT TO SAY IT.

YEAH, I WOULD SAY YOUR MOTION OR THE MOTION IS IS THAT CAVLC GOES FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO LIFT THE HIRING FREEZE TO THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER, TO ALLOW THEM TO FILL THE POSITIONS FOR THE REVENUE GENERATING PROGRAMS. I SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN THAT OUT.

I WOULD ALSO I WOULD ALSO ADD AND SEPARATE FROM THAT PROGRAMING? YES. SO OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMING FOR PART TIME POSITIONS.

I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE DELINEATED TO THINK THAT THIS IS FOR FULL TIME.

THIS IS JUST FOR PART TIME, FULL TIME. ABLC. WE'LL STILL BE IN A HIRING FREEZE.

YEAH. MAKE THAT DISTINCTION. YEAH. THAT THAT ARE CURRENTLY BUDGETED.

OKAY. OKAY. WELL, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD MOTION.

IS THAT A SECOND? SO ARE WE GOING TO CALL THAT A MOTION? WE'LL CALL THAT A MOTION. YOU GOT THE MOTION? YEAH. I'LL MAKE SURE I KNOW WHAT I'M VOTING ON. I'LL SEE IF I CAN. IF I CAN REGURGITATE IT AGAIN.

SAYS THE MOTION IS FOR THE ANGLETON TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO LIFT THE HIRING FREEZE FOR THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER, TO BE ABLE TO FUND OR TO BE ABLE TO MAN THE REVENUE GENERATING AND PART TIME PERSONNEL FOR THE OPERATIONS, AS WELL AS THE RECREATION DIVISION PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS THE RECREATION DIVISION PROGRAMS. TWO. I GOT IT. YEAH, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. SO, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COMMISSIONER DICKEY.

WE HAVE A SECOND. I'LL SECOND. YEAH, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER SMITH.

BEFORE I CALL FOR A VOTE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? DR. JACKSON, ANYTHING TO SAY? OH, SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I'M CALLING FOR THE VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. AYES HAVE IT. MOTION CARRIES. GOOD LUCK WITH CITY COUNCIL.

ALL RIGHT. I BELIEVE WE ARE AT THE BEST PART OF THE MEETING, WHICH IS? WE ARE ADJOURNED. AND THE TIME IS NOW 7:30 ON THE DOT.

OH! LOOK OUT! THANK YOU.
