MATT WOODARD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. I'M HERE BEFORE YOU. THE MANOR ARTS COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO DONATE A LOCK SCULPTURE TO THE TO THE CITY IN HONOR OF THOMAS BOLT. THE COMMITTEE. WE DID TALK TO THE PARKS COMMITTEE, AND WE HAD WE HAD REALLY HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ON WHICH WERE WHERE WE SHOULD ACTUALLY PUT IT. THE ART PARK. AT THE TIME, WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE MUCH ROOM, SO WE WERE THINKING OF THE TIMMERMAN PARK AND THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF ROOM THERE. BUT AFTER ME AND STAFF WENT BACK OUT TO ART PARK, THERE WERE SOME ALTERCATIONS THAT WE CAN DO AT THE ART PARK KIND OF MOVE SOME OF THE SOME OF THE ROCKS AND DO SOME OTHER STUFF THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME REQUIRING TO DO SOME CONCRETE PAD WORK, BUT WE COULD GET IT OVER TO THE ART PARK. SO WE'D LIKE TO SEE IF YOU WOULD GENEROUSLY LIKE TO TAKE THE DONATION FROM THE ARTS. MAYOR. ARTS COUNCIL. AND THERE WAS A PICTURE, TOO, OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. QUESTIONS. AND YOU ALL WOULD DO THE INSTALLATION? YES, MA'AM. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. SO WHERE EXACTLY IN THE ART PARK WOULD IT BE AT? SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT I THINK WE PROVIDED SOME. OH THERE WE GO. YEAH. SO YOU'LL SEE THE LITTLE WALKWAY THEY HAD MADE, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AGO THEY ACTUALLY DID THIS, BUT WE WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT MAYBE IF WE PUT THAT IN THE MIDDLE, WE WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE A SQUARE KIND OF ALMOST IN THE MIDDLE, AND WE COULD MAKE A WALKWAY THAT COULD GO EITHER WAY AROUND IT. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? SO IT TAKES SOME REQUIRING TO TAKE SOME OF THAT, EDGING OUT SOME OF THE ROCKS OUT AND THEN PUT SOME CONCRETE. BUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE GET ENOUGH OF THE DRAINAGE AREA ON THE BACK SIDE, CLOSER TO THE FENCE TO MATCH THAT CONCRETE UP TO THAT ASPHALT. WE ALSO TOOK A PICTURE OF THAT. WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT DOING IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THOSE LITTLE STEPS YOU SEE THERE. DOESN'T GIVE MUCH ROOM AS

[00:20:01]

SCULPTURE. OH IT'S FINE, I THINK I WAS JUST BECAUSE OF THE LOCKS. I GUESS THOSE GET HEAVY AND THEN THEY GET RUSTY AND THEY FALL. SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL ASSESS THAT. AND IF IT GETS TOO RUSTY, WE PROBABLY SHOULD BREAK THEM OFF. AND THEN YEAH TRY TO KEEP THE INTEGRITY OF THE GRADING. BUT YOU DON'T THINK THAT JUST HAVING TO IT LOOKS HEAVY. SO BEING ABLE TO ACTUALLY INSTALL IT AND PUT IT IN PLACE THAT WON'T BE. YEAH. THE GOOD THING THERE'S NO LOCKS ON IT RIGHT NOW. SO WE SHOULD IT COMES IN ACTUALLY 3 OR 4 PIECES TOO. SO IT'S NOT REALLY ALL PUT TOGETHER RIGHT NOW IS WHAT I'VE BEEN UNDERSTOOD OR BEEN TOLD. OKAY OKAY, GOOD. BUT IT'S ALREADY IN Y'ALL'S BUDGET TO PUT THAT TOGETHER OR THE. NO. WELL, WE DO HAVE PARKS FUNDS THAT WE CAN USE TO UTILIZE TO IT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF MANPOWER. AND WE DO ACTUALLY HAVE SOME GUYS NOW THAT KNOW HOW TO DO CONCRETE WORK. SO WE'LL DO THE CONCRETE WORK OURSELVES. OH YEAH. AND DOES ANYTHING GO INSIDE THAT THAT THING ON TOP. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. BESIDES. YEAH. BESIDES TRASH. YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN ALWAYS BRING IT BACK UP FROM THE PARKS COMMITTEE, AND THEY HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS WHAT WE COULD PUT INSIDE IT. AND OR IF Y'ALL HAVE SUGGESTIONS, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE COULD DO. AND MAYBE IF IT'S EVEN THE STYROFOAM, YOU PUT SOMETHING ON TOP OF IT. AND SO PLEASE, ANY SUGGESTIONS IF IT'S DEFINITELY EMPTY UNDERNEATH. YEAH. I MEAN. YEAH, WE COULD HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IT. I JUST DON'T WANT, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID, PEOPLE THROWING TRASH OR THINGS IN THERE AND THEN MAYBE LIGHTING IT ON FIRE OR. YES. NO, I APPRECIATE THAT.

YEAH. YEAH, YEAH. AND THE OTHER THING IS JUST WATER. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. WE'LL FIND A WAY TO AT LEAST IF WE DO ANYTHING, WE'LL PUT SOMETHING ON THE TOP TO ENCLOSE IT. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, FEEL FREE. SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO ASK QUESTIONS. IF YOU WERE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR ACCEPTING, I WOULD SAY TO INCLUDE DIRECTION GIVEN REGARDING MAINTENANCE AND TRASH. AND. RUST OR OR WATER CAPTURE. AND GIVE THAT DIRECTION TO STAFF. MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THINGS ARE TAKEN CARE OF WITH PARKS COMMITTEE. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY KIND OF A PLAQUE OR SOMETHING THAT SAYS THAT IT'S DONATED BY THEM IN HONOR OF? IS THERE ANYTHING TO EXPLAIN, LIKE IF VISITORS DO COME TO IT AND WONDER WHAT IT'S ABOUT IS I DO BELIEVE IN THE PARKS COMMITTEE. WE MIGHT HAVE BROUGHT THAT UP.

WHAT? WE CAN DEFINITELY CIRCLE THAT BACK AROUND AND SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO OR THE PARKS COMMITTEE, WHETHER IT BE ON THE PLATFORM OR THE ON ON THAT CIRCLE TOP PART ON THE.

THAT'D BE IDEAL PROBABLY OR THE OR ON THE BOATS IF THE IF THEY'RE LIKE THE THICKNESS OR WHATEVER CAN'T SUSTAIN IT, THEN MAYBE YOU KNOW SOMETHING CREATED ON THE BOATS AREA. THE LITTLE WIRING. YES, SIR. WORST CASE SCENARIO, SOME SIGN THAT'S PLANTED IN IT IN THE GROUND.

YEAH, YEAH THAT'D BE. AND HOW MUCH THAT WOULD COST TO IT'D BE THE PLAQUE. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MUCH THE OTHER PLAQUE THAT WE HAD GOTTEN OR PURCHASED, BUT THAT IS A GOOD IDEA TO PUT IT EITHER INSIDE OR ON TOP, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE MUCH ROOM TO BEGIN WITH. SO I AGREE. YEAH. BUT IF

[00:25:04]

NO OTHER QUESTIONS. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MAYOR. COUNCIL LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT CITY COUNCIL ACCEPT A LOCK SCULPTURE DONATED BY THE MAYNARD ART COUNCIL AND AUTHORIZE ITS PLACEMENT AT MAYNARD ART PARK WITH DIRECTIONS TO STAFF REGARDING MAINTENANCE AND TO BRING BACK FUNDING OPTIONS FOR THE PLAQUES. YES, SIR. WELL, MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILMAN MORAN. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND? SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN RESQUIN, FOR THOSE WHO I GUESS DON'T KNOW, IN OTHER COUNTRIES, PARTICULARLY MY FIRST EXPOSURE TO SCULPTURE LIKE THIS IS WASN'T NECESSARILY A SCULPTURE, BUT IT WAS THE BRIDGE. AND IN FRANCE WHERE YOU GO AND DEDICATE YOUR LOVE THROUGH A LOCK AND YOU AND YOU PUT IT ON THERE AND SO. YEAH.

YEAH, YEAH. SO ALL RIGHT. SO I THINK, I THINK THAT'S PRETTY COOL. WE DEFINITELY WANT TO LIKE SAY MAKE SURE THE TOP IS SEALED. SO IT'S NOT CONFUSED AS IT'S, IT'S A SCULPTURE NOT A TRASH CAN. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT. ALL RIGHT. OTHER QUESTIONS BEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR. OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. LET'S SEE.

CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON AMENDMENT TO CHANGE. ORDER NUMBER TWO TO CONSTRUCTION. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022. CAPITAL METRO PAYMENT IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. YES, MA'AM. COUNCIL MAYOR PAULINE GRAY, GBA CITY ENGINEER. WE WERE WORKING ON THE PROJECT CLOSEOUT DOCUMENTS, AND WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT IT, THERE WAS AN ERROR. THE AMOUNT OF THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CHANGE ORDER DID NOT CHANGE THE AMOUNT THAT YOU APPROVED. THE ONLY THING WAS THERE WAS AN ERROR GOING FROM THE FIRST CHANGE ORDER TO THE SECOND ONE. AND SO THIS IS JUST A CORRECTED SO WE CAN GET IT APPROVED. LIKE I SAID, THE AMOUNT DIDN'T CHANGE, BUT THAT WAY WE CAN SUBMIT THE CLOSEOUT PAPERWORK TO CAP METRO TO GET THE FUNDING RELEASED BY THEM. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MAYOR COUNCIL LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO CHANGE ORDER NUMBER TWO TO THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022.

SO THE AMOUNT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY COUNCIL, THAT DID NOT CHANGE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THERE WAS AN OVERALL PROJECT COST THAT NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED ON TWO AND THREE, BECAUSE IT WAS THE INCORRECT AMOUNT WAS TRANSFERRED FROM THE FIRST CHANGE ORDER. SO Y'ALL ARE PRETTY. AND ALL THIS IS DOING IS JUST DOING IT SO WE CAN GET THESE PROCESSED AND SEND THE PAPERWORK TO CAPMETRO TO CLOSE IT OUT, BECAUSE CAPMETRO STILL OWES THE CITY OVER $1 MILLION. SO. SO THIS IS JUST TO HAVE THE CORRECT PAPERWORK TO SEND THEM TO REQUEST THE FUNDING. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MAYOR.

POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE CITY OF MAIN AND KRANZ PROPERTIES, LLC. MR. JONES, HOW ARE YOU DOING? MAYOR AND COUNCIL? THANK YOU. HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL. TONIGHT. WE RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM KRANTZ PROPERTIES LLC, THE OWNER OF A 22 ACRE TRACT WITHIN THE ETJ OF THE CITY OF MANER. THEY WERE GRANTED A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BACK IN 2021, WHEN THE CITY CONSTRUCTED WASTEWATER SERVICE LINE ON THE OWNER'S PROPERTY IN EXCHANGE FOR COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE WASTEWATER SERVICE CAPACITY FOR THE OWNER FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS, WITH A POTENTIAL EXTENSION FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS. WE'RE ABOUT PROBABLY FOUR AND A HALF YEARS INTO THAT, AND THE OWNERS REQUESTED THAT THAT EXTENSION BE MADE. AND ALSO THEY REQUESTED A SOME WORK BE DONE, A CONDITIONAL LETTER OF MAP REVISIONS, WHAT THEY CALL A CLOSURE, WHICH WE RAN BY LEGAL AND LEGAL COUNSEL, CONSIDERED THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE A DEEMED ELECTION OF DEVELOPMENT OF THAT PROPERTY IN. CONTRADICTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR HERE, THEN, IS A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPER TO GO AHEAD AND PROCEED WITH HIS CLOSURE. HE'S TRYING TO RECLAIM SOME OF THAT FLOODPLAIN THAT THAT AFFECTS THE AREA DOWN BY THE SHOP THAT GOES INTO THE CREEK. HE'S TRYING TO RECLAIM SOME OF THAT AREA FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY. SO HE'S BASICALLY DOING PAPERWORK. BUT AS LEGAL COUNSEL HAS SAID, PER THE AGREEMENT THAT'S IN PLACE NOW, THEY DEEM THAT TO BE CONSIDERED DEVELOPMENT WORK. SO WE'RE ASKING YOU TO APPROVE THIS FIRST AMENDMENT, WHICH SAYS BASICALLY IN IN SECTION THREE AND SECTION FOUR, SECTION THREE OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT, IT ACCEPTS THAT CLOSURE APPLICATION FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND ALLOWS HIM TO PROCEED WITH THAT WORK. SO CITY STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT YOU APPROVE THAT FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. AND HE WOULD ALSO BE GRANTED HIS FIVE YEAR EXTENSION. OKAY. AND MR. KRANTZ IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MAYOR.

WITHDRAWN. MY APOLOGIES PER REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT. OKAY, AS THE ITEM NEEDED TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE MUD BOARD, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY DELIBERATING OVER WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT THE TERMS AS PRESENTED. OKAY, SO JUST JUST PULL IT. MOVE ON. ITEM NUMBER 19. EXCUSE ME. CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF MAINE OF TEXAS AND THE CITY OF CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. YES, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS A AN ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT INSTEAD OF A LICENSE AGREEMENT. WE YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY APPROVED A LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH LENNAR. THIS IS FOR THAT FIRST FOR THE FORCE MAIN THAT IS BEING REQUESTED BE BUILT AND PUT INTO YOUR CITY RIGHT OF WAY. BUT IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE USED BY FOR THE LENNAR PROJECT. AND IT'S CITY OF AUSTIN FORCE MAIN. SO PREVIOUSLY YOU HAD A LICENSE AGREEMENT THAT WAS APPROVED WHEN WE STARTED WORKING WITH THE CITY OF AUSTIN FOR A LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH THEM, CITY LEGAL FOR AUSTIN PREFERRED USING AN ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT. SO WE HAVE A DRAFT OF THE ENCROACHMENT ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT. WE WERE WORKING ON EXHIBITS, AND THE

[00:40:05]

WITH REGARD TO THE MAINTAINING, THERE ARE SOME PROVISIONS IN THERE THAT TALK ABOUT POSSIBILITY POSSIBLY RETURNING SOME SOME AMOUNTS. IF, FOR EXAMPLE, A NA DOESN'T BUILD AND THAT'S SOME OF THESE ITEMS ARE STILL BEING NEGOTIATED, BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE THAT HAS IS CAUSING CITY LEGAL GRIEF OR CONCERN. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. SO THE LANGUAGE ALREADY COVERS FOR DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER. AND IF Y'ALL COME UP WITH FINDING OUT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF, Y'ALL ARE PAUSED TO JUST BRING IT BACK TO US. YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. AND YOU CAN MAKE THAT AS PART OF THE MOTION IF YOU'D LIKE. YEAH. AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING, MAYOR, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, FROM THEIR SIDE OR OUR SIDE, WE'LL MAKE SURE. BECAUSE ONCE WE ONCE WE EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT, WE WANT THE DEVELOPER TO KNOW THAT THE INTENT IS TO NOT HAVE AGREEMENT. THAT'S A GRAY AREA. IT'S A THIS IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND OF THING WITH AUSTIN AND IN THE CITY. SO THEY DON'T REALLY DO THESE TYPE OF INGREDIENTS ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF AUSTIN. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S TAKEN US A WHILE. BUT I THINK WE'RE ON A PATH IN WHICH AUSTIN SEE THAT WE'RE WE'RE WILLING TO GO DOWN THIS PATH AND MAKE SURE THE DEVELOPER CAN, CAN ADD THEIR INVESTMENT TO THE TO THE AREA. OKAY. QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS. IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. COUNCIL, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MANOR, TEXAS AND THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS AS TO FORM AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT. ONCE NEGOTIATED AND FINALIZED. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN. WHERE IS THERE A SECOND, A SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN. ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR. OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO. ALL RIGHT. NUMBER 20. CONSIDERATION.

DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON A RESOLUTION. AMENDING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2024, DASH 20 AND RESOLUTION 20 2437. WHO'S COMING UP FOR THAT? MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY AND I APOLOGIZE, I WAS CAUGHT SLIGHTLY OFF GUARD, BUT THIS IS FOR YAK, THE YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION, I'M NOT MISTAKEN. LET ME JUST GET TO IT.

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU PREVIOUSLY TO OBTAIN INPUT FROM CITY COUNCIL. AND IF YOU RECALL, THERE WAS A COVER MEMO THAT PROVIDED YOU ALL THE RESEARCH THAT CITY LEGAL DID IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS WHICH HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. NOT ONLY DID WE MAKE REVISIONS TO THE YAK PROGRAM, BUT THE BYLAWS. AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT. THE EXHIBIT A, THE TAB THAT HAS THE APPLICATION WE MADE, WE MADE SOME REVISIONS TO THAT AS WELL. BUT ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE INCLUDED THAT THIS PROGRAM DID NOT HAVE WAS A CODE OF CONDUCT. AND SO THAT WAS ALSO REVIEWED BY YOU ALL BY CITY COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THOUGH, THAT I DID WANT TO MENTION IS THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING Y'ALL DECIDE A LIAISON FOR THIS CITY COUNCIL AT THIS

[00:45:08]

MORE TIME TO PERUSE THROUGH THE BACK UP.

ANY QUESTIONS? SO JUST CONFIRMING FOR ALL FOR YOU ALL. COUNCIL SECTION TWO ADDS THOSE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS.

I THINK IT'S ON PAGE 252, BUT SECTION TWO ADDS THOSE OTHER PIECES THAT WE WERE. WORKING ON IN THOSE WORKSHOPS. ONE BEING THE CITY MANAGER, AGAIN WITH THE STAFF, THE COUNCIL LIAISON, AND IT JUST BASICALLY PUTS ALL THOSE PIECES IN THERE. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIFIC LANGUAGE, THAT'S THE PAGE IT'S ON. IT'S 252 GOING INTO 253.

Y'ALL GOOD. 252. THAT'S FORWARD. I THINK WHAT HE WHAT THE MAYOR IS REFERENCING IS THE RESOLUTION ITSELF. THE RESOLUTION ITSELF IS THE FIRST PAGE OF THE RESOLUTION. AT THE BOTTOM IT'S SECTION TWO. SO I, I DON'T HAVE YOUR ENTIRE SCROLL. SO YEAH. SO IT'S THE RESOLUTION. THE FIRST PAGE AT THE BOTTOM SECTION TWO D PROVIDES THAT. WE'VE UPDATED THE WISE PROGRAM DOCUMENT. WE'VE UPDATED THE BYLAWS. THE BEFORE THAT A, B AND C THE CITY MANAGER IS NOW THE DESIGNEE. AND WILL SERVE AS THE CITY STAFF LIAISON AT OR. I'M SORRY, IS THE CITY. THE CITY MANAGER WILL SERVE AS THE STAFF LIAISON OR THE CITY MANAGER'S DESIGNEE. AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL LIAISON IS WHAT I HAD JUST MENTIONED. THAT WILL BE SELECTED BY CITY COUNCIL WHEN THE SELECTION OF THE PARTICIPANTS FOR NEXT YEAR AND THEN THE ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT IS, WHICH I HAD MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, WILL BE THE ONE ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM. AND SO THE NEW DOCUMENTS OR ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS THAT ARE NOW PART OF THIS RESOLUTION, ARE WE SEPARATED THEM OUT BECAUSE YOUR RESOLUTION PREVIOUSLY JUST HAD THE PROGRAM AND THE BYLAWS. AND NOW THE RESOLUTION WILL NOW HAVE THE REST OF THE DOCUMENTS, WHICH INCLUDES THE APPLICATION, YOUR CODE OF CONDUCT OFFICER AND DUTY DESCRIPTIONS, TRAVEL PERMISSION SLIP THAT ARE NOW ATTACHED TO

[00:50:05]

WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO CONTINUE AND GO THROUGH IT, OR WOULD YOU WANT TO BRING IT BACK ON THE SIXTH? JUST ME PERSONALLY, I'M FINE WITH IT. AND KNOWING THAT WE CAN ALWAYS DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR MODIFY OR MAKE CHANGES OR WHAT HAVE YOU IN THE FUTURE. COUNCILWOMAN HILL, DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU, KNOWING THAT YOU CAN STICK AT YOUR. YEAH, I'M THE ONLY ONE, SO IT'S FINE. I, I WILL AT LEAST FOLLOW UP WITH MY DUE DILIGENCE AND I'LL SEND IT OUT ANYWAY I CAN SEND IT TO YOU VIA ANY WAY. AND THEN IF SHE SEES ANYTHING THAT NEEDS LIKE A MAJOR CHANGE, SHE CAN. PULL ME FORWARD. THAT'S FINE. OKAY. SO I HEAR WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? IS WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH A MOTION TO APPROVE OR NOT, AND YOU'LL BE FINE WITH IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO GIVING FEEDBACK. YES.

ALL RIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR MOTION? MAYOR COUNCIL LIKE TO MAKE A

[00:55:19]

POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE CITY OF MAIN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. SO, COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU ALL RECALL, I THINK IT WAS MAY 21ST. WE HAD. THE FIRST EXPOSURE TO THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM PROPOSAL.

THERE WAS TWO COMPONENTS. ONE WAS ABOUT INTERNSHIPS FOR. CITY EMPLOYEES AND OTHER PIECE WAS RELATED TO INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS. AND SO IN THE DOCUMENT LISTED VARIOUS JOB RESPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS. THE PERSON WOULD COMPLETE CERTAIN TIME FRAMES. IT IS NOT. I DIDN'T SEE IT IN YOUR BACKUP, BUT IT IS ON FROM THE MAY 21ST MEETING. IT ISN'T HERE. OKAY, AWESOME. SO. THERE'S A STRUCTURE, A TOTAL AMOUNT OF HOURS FOR FALL, SPRING, SUMMER. AND WHAT I, WHAT I WANTED TO BRING IT BACK WAS TO GET A, A LINE ITEM SO THAT WE COULD START THE FALL WITH A REQUEST FOR INTERNS FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND OR UNIVERSITY. AS WE FINALIZE PROGRAM. WITH CITY STAFF. AND SO THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY ABOUT CITY STAFF INTERNSHIPS. YES. COME ON UP. SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHAT IT IS SCHOOL STARTS IN AUGUST. WE HAVE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS BACK, UNIVERSITY STUDENTS BACK. AND I'D LIKE TO TRY TO UTILIZE SOME OF THE FUNDS THAT ARE SITTING IN THE COMMUNITY ACCOUNT TO BE ABLE TO START A FALL SEMESTER PILOT OF INTERNSHIPS FOR MAYBE A SENIOR JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND A COLLEGE STUDENT SO THAT THEY CAN BE ABLE TO LEARN AND SHADOW ME, DO WORK WITH ME, AND AFTER THAT PILOT, WHOEVER'S WE WORK WITH CITY STAFF TO FINALIZE THAT, THAT PROGRAM COMPONENTS, AND THEN WE EXPAND IT TO OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS, MAYBE IN THE SPRING AND THE NEW BUDGET CYCLE. AND THEN. OBSERVE, EVALUATE, PROVIDE FEEDBACK, AND THEN MAKE A DETERMINATION ON WHAT'S GOING TO WORK FROM THAT THE NEXT YEAR OUT. SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO BRING IT BACK, BECAUSE IF WE WAIT TILL AUGUST, WE'LL SPEND I WANT TO GET PERMISSION FOR ME TO WORK WITH THE CITY STAFF TO GET IT OUT AND MARKETED BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS. AND THAT'S WHAT I HAD A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS LOOKING AT THE INTERNSHIPS THROUGH THE COLLEGES. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH HANDSHAKE, TEXAS STATE, BOTH CAMPUSES, SAN MARCOS AND R&R, HCC, HOUSTON, TILLOTSON. THEY ALL USE A PROGRAM CALLED HANDSHAKE. MOST OF THEM ARE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS. HOUSTON TOLLESON IS ACTUALLY AN EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM. IT'S NOT AN INTERN. AND SO WE WANT TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE WANT TO ROLL WITH IT, ESPECIALLY STARTING WITH CITY COUNCIL. INTERNSHIP CANNOT BE USED AS AN EMPLOYEE. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC. THERE'S GOT TO BE OBJECTIVE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. IT'S GOT TO BE A TIME FRAME AND THEY'VE GOT TO BE MONITORED. THEY CAN'T BE USED IN LIEU OF EMPLOYEES. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE GET THAT CONFUSED. IF WE'RE LOOKING AT STARTING LIKE AN INTERNSHIP OR SLASH PART TIME EMPLOYMENT KIND OF PROGRAM, WHAT EXACTLY. AND THIS IS JUST MY WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? WHAT ARE

[01:00:05]

AND SO THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO IT'S A 1099 IF YOU DO IT. SO IT WOULD BE A VENDOR, NOT AN ACTUAL INTERNSHIP. NO. IF YOU'RE GOING TO PROVIDE PAYMENT FOR THE FOR THE INTERNSHIP, YOU DO IT AS A 1099 TO AVOID HAVING TO DEAL WITH OTHER TOUGH GOVERNMENT FINANCE RULES. SO THE I CAN'T REMEMBER THE FINANCE ENTITY BUT LETTERS. BUT BASICALLY YOUR INTERNSHIP. WHAT WORKS BEST WITH THE UNIVERSITIES INCLUDING HOUSTON TULSA BECAUSE WE DO INTERNSHIPS WITH THEM ALL RIGHT IS TO DO YOU DO THE PROGRAM. PEOPLE COMMIT TO THE HOURS AND THE SUPERVISION COMPONENTS. AND THEN WHEN IT'S TIME FOR THE STIPEND TO BE PAID, WHICH IS USUALLY AT THE END OF THE HOURS.

UNLESS INSTITUTE DECIDES TO PRORATE STIPEND ACROSS THE 500 OR 1000 HOURS, THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY COMPLETE A VENDOR APPLICATION. AND SO IT BASICALLY ALLOWS FOR THE CITY TO NOT BE PAYING AN EMPLOYEE. YOU JUST THERE HAVE BEEN THE APPLICATION. THE COMPONENTS OF THE VENDOR APPLICATION ARE THE SAME COMPONENTS OF THE INTERNSHIP COMPONENTS. AND SO IF I'M AN INTERN AND I'M SAYING THAT I'M GOING TO DO A, B, C, AND D IN MY INTERNSHIP, THEN THAT'S WHAT'S THAT'S MY PROGRAM COMPONENTS. BUT IT'S ALSO THE CONTRACTED PAPERWORK IN MY 1099 VENDOR APPLICATION, MY VENDOR APPLICATION WITH THE CITY. SO WHEN THE CITY PAYS THAT IT'S A IT'S A FLAT RATE TO THE VENDOR. YEAH, I GET THE 1099 IN THE VENDOR PART ON THE INTERNS. THE MY PROBLEM IS SO EACH DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE. THEY HAVE NOT COVERED A VENDOR IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR WORKERS COMP WHERE A PART TIME EMPLOYEE IS. THERE'S NO NEED FOR THAT STUDENTS IN INTERNSHIPS, STUDENTS GET THEIR OWN INTERNSHIP INSURANCE THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY. AND SO DOESN'T IT. THE UNIVERSITIES TOO. THERE'S FEW UNIVERSITIES THAT ACTUALLY PAY THEIR INTERNS, CORRECT? NO, NOT ALL THE TIME. THERE'S PAID AND UNPAID, WHICH IS WHY WE HAD OPTIONS IN THE PROGRAM. SO SOME UNIVERSITIES I GIVE YOU EXAMPLE, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS IN THEIR BACHELOR'S AND MASTER'S PROGRAM. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE SOLICITED FUNDS TO HELP COVER SOCIAL WORK INTERNS. AND SO SOME ARE PAID, SOME ARE ACTUALLY NOT PAID. SO THE PAYMENT IS A IS OPTIONAL.

BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE LIKE US, WHERE YOU'RE A MINOR AND ALL UNIVERSITIES ARE WEST WEST FROM US, THE STIPEND HELPS COVER THE GAS FOR THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

AND SO AND THAT'S WHY THERE'S AN OPTION FOR THE HYBRID SO THAT THERE CAN BE THAT. SO THEY CAN COME AND DO THE IMPERSONAL THINGS HERE. BUT SOME OF THE TASKS THAT'S PART OF INTERNSHIP DOES NOT LOCATION DOES NOT MATTER. SO I THINK YOU CAN GET A BETTER CALIBER OF INTERN, WHETHER IT BE HIGH SCHOOL OR UNIVERSITY. WHEN YOU HAVE THE HYBRID OPTION. BECAUSE NOW, YOU KNOW, I'M ONLY COMING UP THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES OUT OF MY HOURS, AND I'M LOGGING THE REST OF MY HOURS BY COMPLETING. AND THEY GET THE CREDIT. YEAH, IT'S LIKE A DUAL CREDIT. YEAH. AND SO WITH THE UNIVERSITIES AND THEY'RE COVERING THEM UNDER THEIR THEIR LIABILITY CLAUSES. CORRECT.

UNDER THE PROGRAMS THEMSELVES. SO LIKE I SAID, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH. WE'VE YOU KNOW, WE'VE DISCUSSED IT. AND SO I'VE BEEN WORKING BACK ON IT WITH OUR PERSONNEL POLICY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON ON AUGUST 2ND. YEAH. BUT IT'S PART OF IT. I THINK THE KEY PIECE TO UNDERSTAND IS THEY'RE NOT EMPLOYEES. RIGHT. WELL, AND WE GOT TO BE CAREFUL. LIKE I SAID, THAT IS VERY IT CAN CROSS THE LINE REAL QUICK. AND SO WHEN I LIKE THE DRAFT ONE WE HAVE

[01:05:06]

WE'LL HAVE TO CLEAN BECAUSE REMOTE WORK AND GIVING THEM EMAILS AND ACCESS, THEY CAN'T HAVE CITY EMAILS OR I STILL THINK YOU HAVE A EMPLOYEE LENS. EXACTLY. THEY CAN'T HAVE ANY REMOTING IN. YEAH. AND SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY OF THAT. PERFECT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL YEAH, YEAH. BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE DOING INTERNSHIPS, INTERN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN EMAIL. THEY GOT THEIR STUDENT EMAIL. THEIR STUDENT CORRESPONDENCE IS USUALLY THE BEST. SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY EXCHANGE OF ANY CITY EQUIPMENT OR ANY OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS. WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A PROCESS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR. COMMUNITY FOLKS TO HELP WITH MOBILIZING.

LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE A TASK. I THINK IT'S OUR LEVEL TWO. AND TIER IS TO IS COMMUNIT, COMMUNITY EVENTS, EVENTS. YEAH, A LOT OF THINGS. A LOT OF THE DIFFICULTY WITH DOING THE AMOUNT OF THINGS WE WANT TO DO IS THAT UNLIKE AUSTIN, WE'RE NOT A FULL WE'RE NOT FULLY EMPLOYED. RIGHT.

THERE'S NOT A FULL TIME JOB. EXACTLY. AND SO THE INTERNS THEN BECOME THE PEOPLE THAT CAN DO THE LEGWORK OF REACHING OUT TO THE HOA, REACHING OUT TO THE BLOCK PARTIES, ALL THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS, AND HELPING TO ORCHESTRATE OR ORGANIZE THOSE COMMUNITY SESSIONS AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS, SO THAT ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS, IS WORK WITH THEM, AND THEN THEY GIVE US THE INFORMATION AND WE'RE SHOWING UP. AND SO THAT NONE OF THAT REQUIRES ANY CITY FACILITY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, YEAH, WE'RE ALL BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, YES. SO THAT'S SO PERFECT. I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP TO GET YOU GUYS MORE GUIDANCE, YOU KNOW, FOR US AND YOU. AND LIKE I SAID, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR FLSA, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S VERY IT CAN GET VERY STICKY REAL QUICK. AND JUST SO WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AND LIKE I SAID, REACHING OUT TO THE UNIVERSITIES AND GETTING WITH THEM, THEY'VE GOT LIKE MODEL LIKE YOU SAID, MODEL ONE'S, THIS ONE'S VERY DETAILED.

I JUST SAW A LITTLE LIKE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WERE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE THAT THEY CAN'T HAVE CITY. THEY ARE NOT CITY EMPLOYEES. PEOPLE TEND TO LIKE TO USE THEM LIKE INSTEAD OF AN EMPLOYEE. AND WE CAN'T. YEAH. NO THAT'S NOT THAT IS THE INTENTION TO CIRCUMVENT ANY THAT WHAT IT IS NOT IS ANOTHER WAY TO BRING COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTO THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING. SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE EDUCATION EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT BUILDING UP THE NEXT GENERATION OF PUBLIC LEADERS, PUBLIC SERVANTS, LEADERS. AND SO THEY GET A CHANCE TO, YOU KNOW, LEARN, SEE THINGS, DO THINGS AND, AND BE INVOLVED. IT'S ANOTHER WAY TO ENGAGE THEM FROM THAT. SO WILL YOU NEED SO YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT GETTING IT EFFECTIVE AUGUST FOR AUGUST 6TH OR BRINGING IT GETTING IT PASSED. THE REQUEST IS FOR COUNCIL'S APPROVAL TO AND I, I HAVE A DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT I WAS GOING TO TALK. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU. YEAH. DO YOU HAVE BECAUSE REALLY WE SHOULD SET THAT IN PLACE AS WELL WHEN WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE POLICY ITSELF IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A ENTRY, A PAY SCALE SET ASIDE, WHICH SPECIFICALLY FOR INTERNS, IF THAT'S THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO GO, IT'S OUR I'VE ALREADY WORKED ON THAT. OR IF WE CAN GET WITH THE OTHER UNIVERSITIES THAT ACTUALLY PAY THEM AND WE JUST WELL, AGAIN, THAT'S THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO LIKE UNIVERSITIES

[01:10:05]

RIGHT. AND SO BUT WHAT WE DO HAVE I THINK IT'S PAGE I DON'T KNOW THE PAGE NUMBERS ON HERE.

BUT IN THE PACKET IT'S PAGE 477. AND OH I'M SORRY THAT'S 477. THAT'S IN THE MAY 1ST. I MEAN I'M IN THE WRONG ONE. LET ME GET BACK TO THE RIGHT PACKET. I THINK IT'S LIKE FOUR PAGE TWO, THREE, FOUR. OH. YEP. WHAT IS THAT? 332. PAGE 332. THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE COMPENSATION OUTLINES FOR. FOR THE SEMESTER. BULLET, SIR. SO AGAIN WHICH, WHICH WHAT'S THE BULLET ON IT. DEFINE YOUR INTERNSHIP OR IT SAYS COMPENSATION. SPRAY. IT'S RIGHT ABOVE. OH I SEE IT. RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PAID OR UNPAID. YEAH. CONSIDERING OFFERING COLLEGE CREDIT OR VALUABLE BENEFITS. YES I SEE YOU. YEAH. AND SO YEAH WE WOULD DEFINITELY WANT THAT ON OUR NEW PAY SCALE, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S GOING TO BE AN OPTION. WELL THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I DON'T IF YOU PUT IT ON YOUR PAY SCALE, YOU'RE HINTING AT TOWARDS THAT. IT'S AN ACTUAL EMPLOYEE EMPLOYEE. AND IT'S NOT. IT'S THESE ARE STRAIGHT VENDOR CONTRACTS WHEN IT COMES TO THE PAYMENT PART. SO THE INTERNSHIP HAS NOTHING TO DO NECESSARILY. IT'S LIKE THIS IS THE WORK. AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A STIPEND FOR DOING THE WORK. AND NOW FROM A FINANCE LENS THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GIVE THE STIPEND IS EITHER TO MAKE THEM AN EMPLOYEE OR TO TREAT THEM AS A VENDOR. AND SO WHAT WE'VE ALREADY ESTABLISHED IN OTHER SITUATIONS IS IT'S EASIER TO FOR MUNICIPALITIES OR OR LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES TO USE IT TO BE A 1099, 1090 TO DO 1099. AND SO YOU JUST CUT THE CHECK. THEY THEY DO THE PAPERWORK TO BE A VENDOR AND YOU CUT THEM A CHECK.

THE SCOPE OF WORK IN THE VENDOR APPLICATION IS THE SAME SCOPE OF WORK THAT THEY DO UNDER THE INTERNSHIP. SO WOULD WE OFFER. SO EACH DEPARTMENT OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE DIFFERENT. THE SCOPE OF WORK, THE INTENT YOU KNOW, DEGREES, ESPECIALLY EACH DEPARTMENT INCLUDING COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH THEIR OWN IF SAY, IF YOU HAD FIVE INTERNS COMING UP WITH THAT STIPEND PER INTERN. YEAH. SO THAT'S WHY I HAVE HOW DO WE GET THAT ON OUR LINE ITEMS IN REGARDS TO IF, WHEN, IF AND WHEN WE GET TO THE CITY PART WHERE THEY'RE WORKING WITH DEPARTMENTS AND CITY STAFF, THEN THE POTENTIAL PROGRAM COST IS 42,000 A YEAR FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS. YES.

AND THAT'S FOR THE PROPOSAL IN THAT SPACE IS FOR UP TO 14 INTERNS. OKAY. AND SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO START SMALL AND PHASE UP. BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE CITY PART YET.

SO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WITH THE PILOT, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IS INTERN FOR THE MAYOR PILOT IN THE FALL SPRING. IF A COUNCIL MEMBER IS READY, WE TWEAK IT AND ONE TO HOWEVER MANY COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE READY, THEN BECOME, YOU KNOW, DO A PILOT WITH AN INTERN, OKAY. AND THEN AND THEN WE'LL BE READY. YEAH. I'M READY. SPRING. YEAH. WELL WE EVALUATE, WE EVALUATE. AND THEN IN THE FOLLOWING FALL, THE COUNCIL MEMBER MAYOR PROCESSES THEN SOLIDIFIED. THAT GIVES YOU ALL CITY STAFF THE WHOLE YEAR OF OUR PILOT PILOT TO PREPARE, PLAN AND HAVE DISTANCE SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AND SEE HOW WE'RE DOING IT TO, TO PIVOT. AND THEN IT BECOMES OPTIONAL BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT OVER QUARANTINE. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS, IS GET THE PERMISSION AND THE BLESSING AND THE BUDGET. SO THAT SHOULD SOMEONE SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T I DON'T WANT TO INTERN. BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE FALL, THE YEAR'S GOING THROUGH AND YOU'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT TASK. I HAVE INTERN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK TO US BECAUSE WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE'VE APPROVED AND BLESSED. AND YOU CAN GO AND THE PAPERWORK IS DONE. SO AS LONG AS YOU SAY YOU KNOW WHAT OR UNIVERSITY STUDENT CALLS LIKE WE HAD, WHO IS THAT THAT CAME OUT HERE? THEN WE HAVE A GROUP OF PEOPLE COME FROM THE UNIVERSITY NOT TOO LONG AGO. DID WE? WE HAD WE HAD OUR TRADE SKILL, OUR

[01:15:07]

BONDS, CHANGES BECAUSE OF THE LEGISLATION OR JUST HELPING WITH OUR OVERALL EVENTS THAT WE ARE DOING OR WANT TO DO CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, GETTING HOES TOGETHER, WHATEVER IT MAY BE. THIS THEN WOULD ALLOW FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN THAT SAY, YOU KNOW, YOUNG PEOPLE OR SO FORTH, AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS LOCAL REGIONAL COMMITTEE SUPPORT AND KIND OF SPELLS IT OUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO GO MAYBE THEY CAN'T GET ON THE COMMITTEES. YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET PEOPLE ON ON SOME OF THESE COUNTY COMMISSIONS AND STUFF. AND IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT TO GET OUR VOTE. YOU KNOW, OUR VOTE DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, WEIGH AS MUCH AS SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES, BUT IT'S JUST AS POWERFUL TO HAVE SOMEONE THAT'S GOING TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS, TAKE NOTES OR SPEAK UP IN PUBLIC COMMENTS AT, YOU KNOW, COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT OR, OR WHATEVER THE ENTITY MAY BE, THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT THEY WILL CHOOSE TO BE THERE TO REPRESENT ON OUR BEHALF AND TO SPEAK UP AND SAY, ACTUALLY, CITY IS NOT TRYING TO DO THAT.

THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THIS. AND WHO ARE YOU? AND THEY SAID, WELL, I'M AN INTERN WITH SO-AND-SO, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND SO YOU, YOU HAVE A FURTHER FOR A CITY THAT'S SMALL, LIKE US AND WE DON'T HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE. AND WE'RE TRYING TO NAVIGATE GROWING STAFF, NAVIGATING THE GROWTH AND THINGS. CREATING INTERN OPPORTUNITIES IS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GET THEIR HANDS ON EXPERIENCE AND SO FORTH. I CAN TELL YOU FIRSTHAND, ALL OF MY INTERNS ARE GAINFULLY EMPLOYED AND WITH ZERO EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE PEOPLE WITH

[01:20:08]

SORRY. YES, MA'AM. MAYOR AND COUNCIL I WE DID REVISE IT. THE ONLY REASON BECAUSE WE NEEDED MORE CLARIFICATION. AND TRACY WAS NOT HERE AT THE LAST MEETING TO PROPOSE, TO GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF, TO BRING BACK WHETHER IT'S A RESOLUTION OR A PROGRAM. AND THEN AT THAT TIME IS WHEN THAT AMOUNT WILL BE APPROVED, OR IF IT WAS GOING TO CHANGE, IF IT WAS GOING TO BE MORE, I'M NOT SURE. BUT STAFF IS ACTUALLY WAS SEEKING DIRECTION FIRST BEFORE HAVING A FINAL AMOUNT APPROVED.

IT JUST MADE MORE SENSE TO HAVE THE PROGRAM EVERYTHING IN PLACE. AT LEAST THE DRAFT PROGRAM THAT'S GOING TO BE PRESENTED AS A RESOLUTION, LIKE I SAID OR LEGAL, WOULD DEFINITELY NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT AND DRAFT THAT FOR US. AND AGAIN, THAT CAN BE PART OF THAT MOTION AT THAT TIME. OKAY. WHAT WOULD BE AWESOME IS TO HAVE A LIST OF STAFF QUESTIONS OR WHAT'S MISSING FROM THE PROPOSAL THAT'S SUBMITTED, BECAUSE I THINK IT KIND OF OUTLINES PRETTY DETAILED WHAT'S GOING ON. LIKE, I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN MORENO'S QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE CODE OF CONDUCT PIECE. AND, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK PART OF THE FROM NOW TO THE START OF THE PROGRAM WOULD BE THOSE TYPES OF DETAILS THAT THAT I THINK COUNCIL COULD TRUST US TO, TO, TO KNOCK OUT BEFORE THEN. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE ARE WHAT ARE THE STILL REMAINING QUESTIONS, SINCE IT'S KIND OF BEEN SITTING OUT THERE IN FULL FORM SINCE MAY. I HAD A QUESTION JUST IN REGARDS TO THE I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO CALL THEM STIPENDS, COMPENSATION, CONTRACTS, WHATEVER, WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO BE PAID, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO PRORATED OR IF WE'RE GOING TO DO AT THE END, I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING TO JUST HAVE SOMEWHERE. SO THAT WAY PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO. YEAH. THE EXPECTATION IS AT THE

[01:25:04]

WORK OUT SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THINGS ARE DONE? I THINK IF THERE'S, LIKE YOU SAID, THERE'S A TEMPLATE IN WHICH, LIKE ACC OR NOT ACC, BUT HOUSTON TILLERSON, THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING STUDENTS, I THINK THAT'S WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR US TO KNOW IF YOU GOT 3 OR 4 STUDENTS THAT COME THROUGH US, IF THEY WERE FIRST COME TO THE CITY AND SAY, WHERE DO I SIGN UP? WE WANT TO MAKE SURE, HERE'S THE CRITERIA.

AND IF THEY HAVE A SIGN OFF ON THEIR ON THEIR ADVISOR, GO TO THE CITY AND THEN TAKE THIS FOR THE IF IT'S A SEMESTER. BECAUSE I RECALL DOING AN INTERNSHIP AND WHEN I WAS AT TEXAS STATE, I WENT TO CITY OF AUSTIN ENERGY DEPARTMENT. AND I HAD A BASICALLY A CRITERIA FOR ONE OF MY CAPSTONE CLASSES THAT SPELLED THAT OUT. SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT SPELLS OUT, YOU SHALL DO, LIKE YOU SAID, AT LEAST THREE, FOUR, FIVE THINGS, IF IT'S AGREED UPON FROM FROM YOUR SEAT, WE CAN SAY, OKAY, THIS IS WHAT WE GOT COMING UP, AND WE GOT TWO STUDENTS OR ONE STUDENT. AND THEN THAT WAY THAT'LL HELP GUIDE US TO SAY, OKAY, THEIR PROFESSOR SIGNS OFF ON IT, COUNSELOR SIGNS OFF ON IT, AND THEN WE CAN SAY, OKAY, THIS IS WHAT'S EXPECTED. AND THEN HAVE THAT LIKE AN ORIENTATION FOR US TO SAY, OKAY, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO. AND IF THERE'S A REPORTING REQUIREMENT THAT WAY, THAT'LL GIVE US A STARTING POINT. IF WE'RE GOING TO CHECK IN WITH US ON A REGULAR BASIS, WE CAN BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT FRAMEWORK SAID, YOU'VE DONE 3 TO 5 THINGS YOU NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH HALFWAY THROUGH YOUR YOUR AGREEMENT. AND THEN THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN JUST MAKE SURE WE STAY ON POINT WITH THAT REPORTING PIECE.

I THINK I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT BECAUSE I THINK THAT MIGHT LEAD TO MAYBE WHY THERE? FOR MAYBE THE HESITATION OR THE NEED FOR CLARIFICATION. I'M NOT ASKING ON THE COUNCIL IN THAT CITY STAFF DO THAT. AT ALL. I'M NOT ASKING THAT THEY PROCESS THE APPLICATION, DO THE INTERVIEWS OR OR DO ANY OF THOSE PIECES. OKAY. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S THE FRAMEWORK. NOW WHEN WE GET INTO THE FOLKS WORKING WITH THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER SITUATION IN, IN, IN THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. BUT I'M NOT ASKING FOR, FOR APPLICATIONS TO HAVE TO GO TO A TRACY TO BE REVIEWED. NOW THE PROCESS, THE DATA, THE APPLICATION, THOSE THINGS CAN BE COLLECTED AND ARCHIVED IN THAT MANNER ON THE APPLICATIONS. BUT I'M NOT ASKING FOR THE CITY TO ACTUALLY AND FOR US TO ACTUALLY DO ALL OF THAT WORK. OKAY. BECAUSE THERE'S A IN DOING YOUR INTERNSHIP, LEADING THE PROCESS IS, IS IT'S INSTRUMENTAL PORTION OF GAINING TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHO THE CANDIDATE IS IN FRONT OF YOU FOR THE INTERNSHIP. AND SO IF FIVE PEOPLE COME TO THE CITY AND DO PAPERWORK TO BE AN INTERN IN THE CITY, SELECTS SOMEONE AND THEN GIVES THEM TO A COUNCIL MEMBER, WE DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WHOLE PROCESS HAS HAS BEEN WATERED DOWN FOR THE MUTUAL RESPECT AND RELATIONSHIP THAT'S NECESSARY FOR A STRONG INTERNSHIP. AND SO I LIKE THE MIRROR PROCESSES IN THE PAST THAT I'VE DEALT WITH WHERE THE PERSON THAT'S WANTING THE INTERNSHIP OWNS THE PROCESS. IF YOU CAN OWN THE PROCESS AND SEE THE PROCESS THROUGH, THEN

[01:30:04]

BECAUSE IF I CAN'T LEAD AND FACILITATE THE PROCESS, THEN I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO HAVE AN INTERN. SO IT'S A CHECK AND BALANCE FOR THE SYSTEM. THE INTERNSHIP IS NOT JUST ABOUT TEXTING SOMEONE AND SAYING, DO THIS FOR ME, AND THEN I'LL GO BACK TO MY REGULAR DAY OF WORK.

SO ME BEING ABLE TO FACILITATE THE APPLICATION PROCESS, THE INTERVIEWS, THE MEETINGS WITH THE FACULTY STAKEHOLDERS AND THAT MY ABILITY TO DO THAT SAYS I HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THE INTERNSHIP. AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SHOW IN THE PILOT SO THAT WE CAN DOCUMENT THE PROCESS, TWEAK WHERE WE NEED TO TWEAK, AND THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH AN UNDERSTANDING SO EVERYONE CAN KNOW IT. IS THIS ENTAILED YOU'RE GOING TO GET THIS AMOUNT OF SUPPORT OR WORK BACK FROM YOUR INTERN, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT AND HOURS SO THAT YOU CAN GET A QUALITY PERSON, BECAUSE THE BAD INTERN IS DOUBLE THE WORK. AND SO, YES, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, BUT I HAD OUR ORIGINAL DRAFT THAT YOU AND I HAD DISCUSSED. I DIDN'T SEE THIS ONE THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAD IN THE PROGRAM. I HAD MY ORIGINAL. I WAS LIKE, WHERE IS HE SEEING THAT? SO I DO SEE IT MORE IN MORE DETAILED ON THIS ONE AND NOT WHAT WE HAD WORKED ON INITIALLY. SO I DO APPRECIATE SORRY, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT AND LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND GOALS OBJECTIVES, IT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THE PROJECTS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL STATED OUT, YOUR SUCCESS METRICS. EVERYTHING HAS TO AND CORRECT THE DEPARTMENTS WHICH YOUR YOUR DEPARTMENT. YOU GUYS WILL BE DOING YOUR OWN APPLICATIONS AND YOUR INTERN PROCESS. BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO LOOK AT SOMEBODY AND SAY, OH YEAH, HE'S GOING TO BE PERFECT FOR THE MAYOR. AND IT'S COMPLETELY SIDEWAYS AND LIKE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TWICE THE WORK, AS HE SAID. SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT I HAD NOT SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE. I WAS WORKING OFF OUR ORIGINAL AND I WAS LIKE, WAIT, I'M NOT READY FOR IT. SO DOES IT. THERE'S A SEASON FOR RECRUITMENT. AND THAT'S AGAIN, THAT'S WHY I'M PUSHING FOR BECAUSE IF WE WAIT UNTIL AUGUST TO START, THE SEASON WOULD HAVE PASSED AND WE NOW WE WERE WE WERE LOSE A WHOLE YEAR. IT WOULD BE JUST FOR SPRING. IF YOU'RE IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, YOU WOULDN'T GET THE SPRING BECAUSE THEY USUALLY SIGN UP BOTH. YEAH. I MEAN YOU MIGHT ON SOME OF THEM THEY WILL LIKE ACC DOES SOME SPRING ONES. SO YOU COULD GET SPRING BUT YOU'RE. YEAH. WHEN I'VE BEEN REACHING OUT WE'VE BEEN TALKING A LOT. SO MY QUESTION IS I KNOW THAT THERE'S I GUESS PRE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. YOU KNOW, FLIERS AND FACEBOOK POSTS, SOCIAL MEDIA THINGS THAT. SO WHO WOULD BE IN CHARGE OF DOING THAT TO ENSURE THAT THE PROGRAM IS SUCCESS. BECAUSE WE WOULD. WELL THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING COUNCIL'S BLESSING TO WORK WITH CITY STAFF ON IT. I DON'T MIND DOING THE LEGWORK TO GET IT GOING. LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR ALMOST NOW, ALMOST 21 YEARS, AND SO I DON'T MIND DOING ALL THAT WORK AND GETTING THINGS SITUATED SO THAT IT CAN JUST BE REPLICATED YEAR AFTER YEAR. I KNOW THAT YOU ALL CAPACITY IS ALREADY FULL WITH THE DAY TO DAY AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'RE THAT YOU GOT GOING ON. SO AGAIN, I'M WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE GET GET THESE THINGS DONE AND BE FRANK WITH YOU. IF WE CAN DO THIS, I'M THINKING LONG TERM.

I'M THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN A COUPLE OF NOVEMBER'S THINGS. WE WANT TO BRING TO THE

[01:35:01]

RECOMMENDATION IS THAT CITY COUNCIL PROVIDE PROVIDE EITHER EDITS TO THIS DOCUMENT FOR LEGAL OR THE ADMINISTRATION CITY STAFF TO REVISE. AND YOU CAN APPROVE THE PROPOSAL OR YOU CAN PROVIDE DIRECTION BECAUSE IT DOES SAY THAT YOU CAN HAVE AN BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE LANGUAGE IS WRITTEN IN THE AGENDA. YOU CAN HAVE YOU CAN ACT ON THE CITY OF MAIN OR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. SO BUT WHAT YOU'RE ACTING ON IS WHAT'S IN THE BACKUP. SO IF CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AGREE WITH WHAT'S IN THE BACKUP, THEN YOU CAN VOTE ON THAT. OR YOU CAN TAKE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, WHICH IS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DIRECTION SO THAT IT CAN COME BACK. AND THE RECOMMENDATION FROM CITY LEGAL IS WE WOULD RATHER PROVIDE A RESOLUTION SO THAT WHENEVER THIS TAKES SHAPE, YOU REFER TO THE RESOLUTION, YOU REFER TO THE PROGRAM. AND SIMILAR TO WHAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH WITH IAC, THAT YOU YOU WILL MAKE AMENDMENTS TO THAT RESOLUTION. IS IT THE SAME IF WE'RE JUST IF THE GOAL IS TO, TO LOOKING TO GET PERMISSION TO DO A PILOT SO THAT WE CAN BRING FORTH A MORE PERMANENT PROGRAM DESIGN FOR RESOLUTION, BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THE, THE WHOLE PROGRAM IS THERE IN THE BACKUP. BUT WHAT I REALLY WANTING IS COUNCIL'S QUESTIONS SO WE CAN ANSWER BUT ALSO DIRECTIONS SO THAT WE COULD DO A PILOT. OKAY. THAT'S NOT THE ACTION ITEM. IT'S CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE CITY OF MAYNARD INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. SO I UNDERSTAND I DIDN'T SAY PILOT, I DIDN'T SEND TO THEM PILOT OKAY. BECAUSE MY BUT THE INTENTION IS THE APPROVAL OF THE PROGRAM PROPOSAL. BUT TO MOVE FORWARD AS A PILOT THAT'S THAT IS THE INTENT. IF THE INTENT IS FOR IT TO BE A PILOT TO APPROVE A PILOT, THEN IT WOULD NEED TO BE BROUGHT BACK SO THAT IT SO THAT CITY COUNCIL CAN THEN LOOK AT THIS PROPOSAL THAT'S PROVIDED AS

[01:40:06]

I DO WANT TO HEAR YOU ALL'S THOUGHTS JUST IN GENERAL ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP. AND, YOU KNOW, ALL OF IT. THE PROCESS LAID OUT ABOUT STARTING NOW, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

YOUR CONCERNS, RESERVATIONS. BECAUSE I THIS IS AGAIN FOR YOU KNOW, IT'S FOR US. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S ON BOARD AND YOU GET YOUR SAY. SO WHATEVER FEEDBACK FOR OR AGAINST OR HESITATIONS WHATEVER, PLEASE DO SHARE. OKAY. MY THOUGHT IS THE WAY THAT IT'S EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT RIGHT NOW, I THINK THAT THERE'S ROOM FOR MORE DETAIL, BECAUSE I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD HAVE BEEN IF IT COULD BE. ADD MORE DETAIL, KIND OF SIMILAR TO HOW THE PROGRAM HAS SOME OF THE DETAILS IN IT, LIKE THE APPLICATION, EVEN FOR THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM ISN'T HERE. AND AS MARINA WAS MENTIONING, THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE WHOEVER WOULD BE INVOLVED WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF WHAT'S REQUIRED. THE OTHER THOUGHT, WELL, WHAT I GOT OUT OF THE DISCUSSION WAS IT WOULD START WITH JUST THE MAYOR HAVING AN INTERN OR. AND SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE, HOW MANY INTERNS ARE IN YOUR CAPACITY? AND THEN IF THE AND WOULD THAT BE FOR THE TIMEFRAME OF AN ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR I GUESS AUGUST TO MAY OR EVEN INCLUDING THE SUMMER. SO AUGUST TO AUGUST. AND WITH THAT UP TO 42,000 COVER THAT ENTIRE TIME FRAME. AND WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO HOLD DOWN THE INTERNSHIP AS JUST YOU FOR THE WHOLE FULL SCHOOL YEAR FROM AUGUST TO AUGUST? AND IF THAT WOULD BE OKAY FOR YOU? BECAUSE IF THAT'S AND I FEEL LIKE IT DOES ALLOW THE PROGRAM TO BUILD AND TO EVEN BE MORE IN DEPTH, AND YOU CAN WE CAN SEE WE CAN SEE HOW HOW THE PROGRAM. WOULD BE EXPECTED TO RUN. BUT THEN ALSO WE CAN SEE GET THE FEEDBACK EVEN FROM THE STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO HELP. YEAH. TWO WHETHER IT BE A HIGH SCHOOL AND A COLLEGE OR TWO COLLEGE OKAY. IS THE INTENT. AND THEY WOULD RUN BY THE SEMESTER AND THE WHOLE YEAR

[01:45:02]

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR. OKAY. AND BECAUSE OF THAT I THINK I DID UNDERSTAND THAT PART. AND SO WITH IT BEING THE UP TWO PART, IT SEEMS LIKE EVEN WITH THE BUILD OUT OR JUST IF WE IF IT WAS FOR DIRECTION, THEN IT WOULD BE TO ME, I CAN SEE SOME AREAS I MADE NOTES WHERE I WOULD WANT MORE SPECIFICS ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL FOR THE PROGRAM. AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I'M SORRY? WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? OH, LIKE LIKE HOW MORENO WAS SAYING, LIKE, IF THERE WAS A. WHAT IS IT CALLED CODE OF CONDUCT TYPE THING OR EVEN LIKE A TERMINATION TYPE THING AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT, JUST WHERE IT COVERED ALL OF OUR BASES OF WHAT, WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO. YEAH. AND JUST LIKE WITH THE PROGRAM, AGAIN, IT CAN GROW FROM YEAR TO YEAR. AND SO WE CAN GO BACK AND EXPAND. BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD SHELL TO START WITH. I THINK THE ONLY ONE I WOULD EXPAND ON, IF IT'S NOT LIMITED TO, WOULD BE THE UNIVERSITIES AND HIGH SCHOOLS THAT WERE REACHED OUT TO. SO THE. TYPICALLY INTERNSHIP PAPERWORK IS PROVIDED BY THE UNIVERSITY. AND SO THAT'S WHY IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY. THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING TO YOU MISS MORE ABOUT THE PAPERWORK STUFF. THERE'S A THERE'S A MUTUAL PROCESS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE INTERNSHIPS. AND SO THE STUDENT THAT'S APPLYING FILLS OUT PAPERWORK WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY OR WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL. AND THEY'RE DOING ALL THAT, THAT STUFF. AND THEN THE FIELD ADVISOR OR FIELD INSTRUCTOR PERSON, YOU KNOW, THEN SAYS, I'M GOING TO COMMIT TO THIS, THE INSURANCE, THE CODE OF CONDUCT, ALL THAT STUFF IS ALREADY PROVIDED UNDER UNDER THAT ASPECT. AND THERE'S EVEN A REQUIREMENT FOR FINGERPRINTING AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, BACKGROUND CHECKS AND STUFF. SO A LOT OF THAT HAPPENS ON THE UNIVERSITY END. AND SO THERE'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T INCLUDE IT. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE PUT ALL THAT STUFF BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR US. GREAT. BUT IN INTERNSHIPS. A LOT OF THAT PAPERWORK IS DONE ON THE UNIVERSITY END. AND WE JUST HAVE THIS MORE SO IS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE THIS MORE SO THIS PROPOSAL

[01:50:08]

IF THOSE THINGS, IF THOSE AREAS OF CONCERN ARE MISSING FROM THOSE PIECES. OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE SIDE. I MEAN, THE BALL'S IN YOUR COURT FOR A MOTION. YOU ALL CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU ALL THINK IS BEST AND ARE COMFORTABLE WITH.

FOR YOUR COMFORT. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE. IT CAN BE A PILOT, BUT I FEEL LIKE THE WORDING OF IT CAUSING IT TO. PUSH BACK THE DEADLINE. BUT BECAUSE IT'S THE L2 COST OF THINGS AND THE L2 COSTS ARE THE NUMBER OF INTERNS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, I WILL PAY WITH IT. EVEN WITH THE. WHO, WHO HAS AN ANSWER. IT'S JUST START OUT WITH YOU AND YOU. I THINK THAT'S FINE TOO, WITH THE WAY THE WORD IS. I GUESS MY OTHER CONCERN IS SOME OF THESE. WHAT YOU MENTIONED WAS THE LEVEL OF LIFTING FROM THE CITY PARK, AND MAYBE SO THAT THEY COULD FEEL COMFORTABLE KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT FROM 2ND AUGUST AND IF THAT'S OKAY WITH THEM. THEN I'M OKAY WITH IT. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS COUNCIL MEMBERS OR YOU AND STAFF. CAN WE MAKE SOME? COULD WE STILL MAKE LIKE LITTLE ADDITIONAL PIECES LIKE NOT WITH THE RECRUITMENT PART, THE PARTNER WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS OR LOCAL UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES? IS IT LIMITED TO THOSE OR. NO, I THINK THAT I DON'T REMEMBER. LET

[01:55:07]

AND, YOU KNOW, I THAT'S, THAT'S OUR PROPOSAL. SO BUT NO IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO LIMIT. WOULD WE BE CREATING AND GATHERING SOME DATA ON THIS TO SEE TO EVALUATE THE PROGRAM AT THE END OF A CERTAIN TIME LIMIT, TO SEE HOW WELL IT WENT OUT AND WHAT NEEDS IMPROVING AND IMPROVING, OR WHAT WE WOULD DO. SO USUALLY THERE'S A GREAT QUESTION. USUALLY THERE'S A SURVEY THAT HAPPENS ON THE BACK END, ONE THAT IS GIVEN TO THE INTERN ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE. AND USUALLY THAT'S ALWAYS PROVIDED BY THE, THE UNIVERSITY OR THE OR THE SCHOOL. AND THEY SHARE THE RESULTS BACK.

AND SO IF WE WANTED TO DO OUR OWN, THEN I MEAN, MOST OF THE STUFF, ANYTHING DEALING WITH FORUMS AND SURVEYS, WE CAN CHATGPT IT, YOU KNOW, AND GET IT IN LIKE TWO MINUTES. SO WHAT YOU CAN DO, IT'LL GENERATE THE FORM RIGHT AWAY. AND THEN JUST THEN YOU RUN IT BY LEGAL. AND, AND GET THE NECESSARY REVISIONS. BUT I MEAN PRETTY MUCH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF STUFF, A LOT OF THEM DO COME WITH SURVEYS ALREADY. AND THEY AND THEY, THEY DO SEND THE DATA. IT'S NOT LIKE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK IF AS WE GO ON GOING ALONG, IF THERE'S SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT SOMETIMES YOU'LL HAVE, YOU CAN GO IN WITH A FULL SURVEY AND EVALUATION TOOL. AND THEN YOU REALIZE THE DATA YOU'RE GETTING IS NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTION. AND SO YOU THEN YOU GO BACK AND REVISE TO COLLECT MORE DATA, OR YOU PIVOT IN HOW YOU'RE DOING THE INTERNSHIP OR HOW YOU'RE DOING WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING SO THAT THE RESULTS CAN LEAN, CAN HELP YOU GET THE DATA THAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN YOUR EVALUATION AND SURVEYS. SO THE PROCESS STAYS A LIVING PROCESS, BECAUSE THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS THAT WE START SEEING FAVORABLE RESPONSES FROM THE COMMUNITY AND OUR COMMUNICATION AND OUR ENGAGEMENT, AND IN OUR ABILITY TO ADVOCATE AT STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL LEVELS. SO IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT KIND OF STUFF THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU SEE, THEN THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT THAT AND SHARE THAT INFORMATION, LIKE, I WANT TO KNOW THIS, IF THEY LIKED THIS PART OF THIS, YOU KNOW, INTERNSHIP, USUALLY THEY HAVE IT. AND, YOU KNOW, IF WE PUT IT OUT THERE AND PEOPLE SELECT AND IT'S WHATEVER UNIVERSITY IS, WE CAN ASK THEM WHAT THEIR EVALUATION TOOL IS AND GET A COPY OF IT UP FRONT BEFORE WE EVEN START ANYTHING TO SEE IF WE NEED TO ASK ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. STAFF, PEOPLE, WHAT'S YOUR QUESTIONS CONCERNS? I MEAN, I THINK WITH YOU'RE ABLE TO LIKE GET DIRECTION FROM FROM THE

[02:00:09]

YOU KNOW IT COULD BE A FORUM WHERE PEOPLE CAN JUST REPLY BACK TO COMMUNICATE INTEREST. SO AND WE COULD DO A QR CODE LIKE I CAN DO A FLIER, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. HOW ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO GET IT OUT THERE AND MARKET I YEAH I'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT OKAY. YEAH. NO THAT'D BE GREAT.

AND THEN WE CAN I'M NOT ASKING Y'ALL DO ANYTHING BUT TO HELP SUPPORT IT SO I CAN HELP BUILD THE FRAMEWORK WITH YOU ALL. OKAY. AND GO FROM THERE AND SHOW YOU HOW TO BUILD IT SO IT DOESN'T BECOME A BURDEN. BECAUSE WHEN YOU WORK, WHEN YOU DO IT THE RIGHT WAY WITH THE UNIVERSITY, YOU'RE YOU'RE LIFT IS VERY, VERY SMALL. AND LIKE I SAID, THE ONLY THE ONLY PERSON THAT'S, THAT'S CARRYING THE LOAD IS THE ONE THAT'S CHOOSING TO HAVE THE INTERN. AND SO LIKE I SAID, NOT TO KEEP CALLING OUT ON MATT, BUT WHEN HE WORKS WITH THE STUDENTS THROUGH THE PFLUGERVILLE PROGRAM, LIKE, SO HE HAS TO GO TO THE MEETINGS, HE HAS TO DO THOSE, HE HAS TO DO THAT WORK TO AND MAKE SURE THAT THE TOURS COME ON, BECAUSE HE'S HE'S CHOOSING TO DO THAT IF HE DOESN'T WANT IT, IF HE DIDN'T DO HIS PART, WOULDN'T HAPPEN, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO IT'S SO IT'S THE SAME THING, THE INTERN THE PROGRAM ITSELF RUN IS BECOMES AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION, BUT IT ONLY TAKES PLACE EACH SEMESTER OR EACH SUMMER, DEPENDING ON THE PERSON'S ABILITY TO ACTUALLY GO OUT AND DO THE WORK. SO IF I'M NOT WILLING TO GO TO UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS GOVERNMENT AND BE OUT THERE AND SAY, HEY, DO YOU HAVE AN INTERN, YOU KNOW, TO COME AND WORK WITH ME AND DO THOSE THINGS, THEN IT DOESN'T EVEN HAPPEN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. IT DOESN'T. WE JUST WE JUST HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S AVAILABLE TO HAPPEN. BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE THAT'S WILLING TO TAKE INTERNS, THEN IT IT JUST IT'S JUST SOMETHING THE CITY CREATED THAT'S GOING TO ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE. SHOULD A DEPARTMENT OR COUNCIL PERSON HAVE THE TIME AND CAPACITY TO ACTUALLY DO IT WITH FIDELITY. OKAY. AND SO BUT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A STRONG PROGRAM THAT CAN BE DONE WITH FIDELITY, WE NEED TO PILOT IT AND PUT IT OUT THERE AND SEE HOW IT'S ACTUALLY YEAH, WE NEED TO START IT. WE GOTTA MAKE TWEAKS TO IT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING STRONGER FOR PEOPLE. YES, MA'AM. SO FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, CONSIDERATION FOR CITY STAFF AS WELL. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO IS COME BACK TO YOU WITH SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID WITH KAYAK, WHICH WAS BRING YOU AN THE ACTUAL PROGRAM, BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU IS A PROPOSAL TO AND YOU CAN RATIFY IT, YOU COULD APPROVE IT TONIGHT AND THEN YOU WOULD RATIFY IT BY RESOLUTION, BUT YOU COULD ALSO APPROVE IT TONIGHT WITH CONDITIONS IF YOU'D LIKE. BECAUSE AGAIN, THE ACTION ITEM IS TO APPROVE A PROGRAM, WHICH YOU COULD DO IS YOU'RE APPROVING JUST THE MARKETING OF THE PROGRAM, WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU'RE NEEDING TO DO, SIR, IN ORDER TO GET IN ORDER NOT TO MISS THE TIME FRAME IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE LIMITED TO THAT SO THAT THEN WE, YOU KNOW, THE PROGRAM IS ESTABLISHED, BUT THEN YOU'RE RATIFYING IT BY RESOLUTION WITH THE ENTIRE THE ENTIRETY OF THE DOCUMENT, WITH ALL THE INPUT THAT IS PROVIDED TONIGHT. BALL'S IN YOUR COURT. YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO ADD JUST ASK FOR. OH YES, MA'AM. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, MY QUESTION WOULD BE RECORDS WHO YOU'RE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE ON MAINTAINING THOSE RECORDS. YOU YOU DO WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT THOSE TO ME BECAUSE COUNCIL DOES FALL UNDER ADMIN. SO BUT JUST SO YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, KNOW THAT PART. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. ANYTHING THAT'S CREATED ANY NEW FORMS IT NEEDS TO BE FILED. THERE'S A RETENTION PERIOD THAT GOES WITH IT. SO JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP. YEAH. NOW THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING. MR. MOORE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE WORKLOAD ON STAFF. I SAID THE KEY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS A GUARANTEE IS THE ARCHIVING OF WHATEVER'S TAKING PLACE. IT HAS TO BE ARCHIVED FOR CITY RECORD. SO THAT PART I DO

[02:05:03]

QUESTIONS OR EMOTION.

AND THEN IF THERE'S NO MOTION OR QUESTION, THEN THE ITEM 21 WOULD DIE FROM NO ACTION. I'LL ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS OR EMOTION. YES, MA'AM. COUNCIL MEMBERS. WHAT YOU ALSO CAN DO IS FOLLOW WHAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WAS, WHICH IS JUST DIRECTION. Y'ALL HAVE HAD THIS DISCUSSION, SO THERE IS SOME DIRECTION TO PROVIDE TO CITY STAFF SO THAT WE CAN BRING YOU BACK. PROGRAM, DOCUMENT, AND WORK WITH THE MAYOR TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THAT'S. WHAT IS COME WHAT COMES BACK TO YOU. CAN THE DIRECTION INCLUDE FOR THE MAYOR TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOCIAL MEDIA POST, OR IS THAT PROMOTING THE PROGRAM? YES, BECAUSE YOU'RE TAKING ACTION ON THE PROGRAM AND THE PROPOSAL'S BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU. SO YOU HAVE THE FRAMEWORK. AND SO WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO IS APPROVE PROMOTION OF IT AND AGAIN, BRING BACK THE A MORE DETAILED DOCUMENT. WOULD THAT HAVE TO BE IN A FORM OF A MOTION TO DO THAT, OR IS DIRECTION ENOUGH. NO. THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE A MOTION. IT COULDN'T BE DIRECTION BECAUSE AGAIN, THE PROGRAM HAS YOU HAVE TO. WHAT YOU'RE STATING IS THAT YOU WILL HAVE A PROGRAM. AND SO BECAUSE THAT WAY IF THE CITY IS ACTUALLY PROMOTING IT OR PUTTING IT OUT THERE, THEN IT CAN SAY DETAILS ARE FORTHCOMING BECAUSE YOU HAVE APPROVED PROGRAM AND THE FRAMEWORK IS THERE WITHIN THE PROPOSAL. BUT AGAIN, YOU'RE PROVIDING ALSO DIRECTION. THEN MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM AND PROVIDE. I GUESS, APPROVAL FOR MAYOR TO MOVE FORWARD WITH MARKETING AND BRING BACK THE ITEM FOR. RATIFICATION, I GUESS. MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM COUNCILWOMAN RICE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MORENO? ANY QUESTIONS TO THE MOTION? IS THERE A DATE THAT YOU WANT IT BACK OR MAYOR, DO YOU HAVE AUGUST 6TH? OKAY. THAT WORKED FOR Y'ALL. WORK FOR YOU. JUST AMEND MOTION. IF WE COULD BRING IT BACK FOR THE AUGUST 6TH MEETING, WE HAVE AUGUST, AUGUST 6TH AMENDMENT TO IT BY COUNCILWOMAN MEZQUIA COUNCILMEMBER MORENO I SECOND THAT AMENDMENT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO THE TO THE MOTION? Y'ALL? SURE. ALL RIGHT. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. NUMBER 22, CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE CITY'S POLICY REGARDING MAYOR'S CHALLENGE COIN. LET'S SEE. I'M NOT SURE. HOLD ON. OKAY. AND YOU ALSO HAVE TO. DO

[02:10:38]

YOU'LL SEE. PROPOSAL IN THERE IN REGARDS TO. BETTER TOGETHER PROGRAM IS WHAT I'M WHAT I'M CALLING IT. AND IDEA CONTINUES WITH THE THEME OF BUILDING COMMUNITY. AND SO. IT'S I'M NOT SURE IF YOU ALL CAN KIND OF THINK ABOUT GIRL SCOUTS OR CUB SCOUTS, RIGHT? A STUDENT GOES THROUGH A SERIES OF, OF TASKS AND DIFFERENT THINGS, AND THEY EARN BADGES AND THEN THEY GET TO A CERTAIN PLACE AND THEY, YOU KNOW, GET THE LAST HONOR, BECOME EAGLE STAR OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE. AND SO THE IDEA IS, HOW DO WE THE, THE, THE QUESTION WAS, HOW DO WE INCENTIVIZE RESIDENTS TO BUILD COMMUNITY. AND SO WE'VE ALREADY, AS A COUNCIL TALKED ABOUT HONORING PEOPLE, CITY STAFF AND RESIDENTS AND NONPROFITS THAT ARE DOING GREAT WORK IN THE COMMUNITY. AND SO IT JUST KIND OF BUILDS AND CONNECTS INTO THAT, THAT SPACE IN REGARDS TO SAYING, HEY, IF YOU KNOCK OUT THESE SEVEN TASKS, IF YOU AGREE TO DO IT, YOU APPLY TO YOU SAY, I WANT TO BE A AN OUTSTANDING MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY, SO I'M GONNA DO THESE, THESE TASKS AND YOU KNOW, OR YOU KNOW WHAT I CAN'T DO? I, I CAN DO FOUR OF THOSE WHICH YOU CONSIDER ALLOWING ME TO DO THESE THREE IN THOSE CATEGORIES. AND I TURN IN MY PLAN OF WHAT I'M GOING TO DO. I COMPLETED IT IN YEAR. THEN YOU GET THE CHALLENGE COIN. YOU WOULD HAVE HELPED TO GET THIS CHALLENGE COIN SOMEWHERE BETWEEN. 175 PEOPLE TO 300 AND SOMETHING PEOPLE AS AN INDIVIDUAL. AND WE WILL HONOR YOU BY BRINGING YOU TO COUNCIL MEMBER TO GIVE YOU A CHALLENGE COIN TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE TO THE CITY AND FOR BUILDING COMMUNITY. COULD IT BE EASIER? ABSOLUTELY.

BUT I THIS IS NOT ABOUT DOING WHAT'S EASY, BUT IT'S ABOUT SAYING WHAT'S IMPORTANT AND THEN CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR DOING SO. SOME OF THE TASKS WERE THERE'S THE SEVEN TASKS OR SEVEN CATEGORIES OF WHICH PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE IN. IF YOU CAN THANK YOU, YOU CAN. YOU GO TO THOSE TASKS, GO TO THE TASK. THE SEVEN TASK. IS THAT IN THERE? THERE'S ONE THERE. LET ME SEE IF I CAN.

YEAH. SO THANK YOU. SO YOU CAN SEE THE PROGRAM GOALS. COUNCIL MEMBERS STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY TIES, INCREASE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, ENHANCE COMMUNITY PRIDE, RECOGNIZE COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PROMOTE INCLUSIVITY. AND LIKE I SAID AGAIN, THE WHOLE PROGRAM. THANK YOU. THE WHOLE PROGRAM IS CALLED BETTER TOGETHER. AND SO CAN YOU SCROLL DOWN A LITTLE BIT? I DIDN'T WANT I, I INITIALLY HAD 18 TO BE AN ADULT, BUT WE HAVE A YOUTH COUNCIL. WE HAVE A YOUTH YOUTH COUNCIL. AND HOW CAN YOU KNOW IT KIND OF BE MESSED UP TO BE PROMOTING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN THIS WAY. AND THEN OUR YOUTH CAN'T PARTICIPATE AND WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING IN DEVELOPING. SO THAT'S WHY I PUT THE 14 DOWN IN THERE, AT LEAST 14 IN SUPPORT FROM THE PARENT. AND SO AND LET ME PAUSE AND SAY THAT AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY IS IT'S RECORD KEEPING BECAUSE THEY FILL OUT SOMETHING AND THEY TURN IT IN. BUT IT IS IT'S ALL ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL DOING WHAT THEY'RE

[02:15:09]

TASK ONE IS, INCREASING NEIGHBORLY INTERACTIONS AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S POTLUCK, IT'S A BARBECUE, IT'S WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND THEN AGAIN, I THINK THERE'S LANGUAGE THAT SAYS THERE'S TOTAL OF SEVEN TASKS YOU HAVE TO DO FOR FOUR OF THOSE SIDES. HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE ON OUR ON OUR DOCUMENT. OTHER. BUT YOU CAN HAVE THREE THAT YOU SAY, HEY, CAN I DO THIS FOR THAT TASK INSTEAD OF THE ONE THAT YOU ALL PROPOSE? MAKES SENSE. SO OUT OF THE THINGS WE'RE PROPOSING, THEY GOTTA DO AT LEAST FOUR. UNDER THOSE SEVEN TASKS, THEY GOTTA DO SEVEN TIMES TOTAL. BUT FOUR OF THEM HAVE TO BE THE THINGS WE TELL THEM THEY GOTTA DO. THE OTHER THREE THEY CAN SUGGEST, AND IT'S APPROVED. YOU SCROLL DOWN. SO THE FIRST ONE I THINK IS THE NEIGHBOR INTERACTIONS. THE OTHER ONE KIND OF GETS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER BECAUSE NOW I'M MAYBE DOING A BLOCK PARTY. SO I GOT 4 OR 5 STREETS THAT'S COMING OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK TO DO SOMETHING OR SO FORTH. KEEP GOING DOWN. NOW. NOW I'M DOING SOMETHING AT CITY EVENTS. I'M PLAYING A MAJOR ROLE IN HELPING WITH. AND HELPING. SO I'M GOING TO THE CITY TEAM MEETINGS, AND I'M IN THE PLANNING PART, AND I'M HELPING AND PLAYING A VITAL ROLE, WHETHER, YOU KNOW, IN THAT EVENT OR SOMETHING. THEN WE GET DOWN TO SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS AND KEEP SCROLLING DOWN TO NUMBER SIX AND SEVEN, PLEASE. PROMOTING PUBLIC SAFETY OR HEALTH AND WELLNESS. THIS IS NOW ABOUT PROMOTING A5K OR I'M OUT TALKING ABOUT, HEY, YOU KNOW, IMPORTANT TO SHARE THE ROAD. YOU KNOW, DON'T RUN OVER THE BIKERS, WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

AND THEN INNOVATION PERSONALIZED IMPACT FROM THERE. SO. THIS IS. I THINK SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO AGAIN MAKE MAJOR STAND OUT. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S A WAY TO PUT. EMPHASIS ON THE FACT THAT WE SAY PEOPLE ARE IMPORTANT BY SAYING, YOU KNOW, PLEASE JOIN US IN DOING THESE THINGS AND WE HONOR YOU WITH THAT. IN MY MIND, THESE PEOPLE ARE ALSO RECOGNIZED AT THE MAYOR OF AND THAT KIND OF THING. SO. YEAH. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. I WILL SAY, MAYOR, BASED ON WITH US HAVING A LOT OF FAMILIES MOVING INTO THE COMMUNITY, I THINK IT'D BE FROM JUST LOOKING AT IT AND SEEING HOW IT COULD REALLY HELP. IT COULD DEFINITELY GET PARENTS, THE YOUNGER FAMILIES THAT WE HAVE AND HELP THERE. I CAN SEE IT A LOT OF INVOLVEMENT WITH IT, WITH THOSE FAMILIES THAT'S TRYING TO FIND A PLACE HERE IN MAYNARD. AND I THINK THAT'D BE THE GOAL IS TO TRY TO REALLY HIT ON THAT, SINCE WE'RE NOT LIKE WE HAVE SOME TRADITIONS, BUT I THINK BEING ABLE TO BUILD A

[02:20:01]

HOWEVER, BLOCK PARTY DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN THE SENSE OF, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF THING. A LOT OF CITIES HAVE POCKET PARKS, AND SO THE BLOCK PARTY COULD BE AT THE POCKET PARK. WE ACTUALLY WELL, I MEAN, NOW, PEOPLE THERE'S SOME NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE BLOCK PARTIES THAT DO NOT COME THROUGH THE CITY. SO WE JUST RECENTLY HAD ONE, MA'AM AT ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THEY DID IT UP AT THEIR COMMUNITY CENTER. YEAH. SO THOSE DON'T HAVE TO THOSE AREN'T THEY HAVE TO DO A PERMIT. THERE'S NOT A FEE FOR THAT. BUT IF THEY DO BLOCK OFF STREETS, MAYORS.

CORRECT. YOU HAVE TO. IT'S CITY STREET. SO PD'S GOT TO BE THERE. WE'VE GOT TO GET BLOCKADES. SO DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY DO IT, THERE'S ALWAYS OPTIONS FOR THEM TO GO TO A LESSER, YOU KNOW, INVASIVE. YEAH. SO AND REALLY ON THIS ONE I THINK THE LANGUAGE SAYS PROVIDE DIRECTIONS ON ON CREATING A CITY POLICY REGARDING MARRIAGE CHALLENGE COIN. I, I THINK A COUPLE OF THINGS IS WHAT MY RECOMMENDATION IS. ONE THAT YOU ALL IF YOU'RE A PAPER, PEN AND PAPER PERSON, GET A HARD COPY OF IT AND JUST SPEND SOME TIME. SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT THE TASK AND SEEING IF THERE'S TWEAKS YOU WANT TO DO TO THE TASK, OR ADD ADDITIONAL TASK IN THERE. LOOKING AT THE PROCESS AND PROCEDURES AND JUST GIVING A LOT OF FEEDBACK AND NOTES ON THAT AND TURNING THAT IN. SO THAT DRAFT, THE DRAFT CAN BE UPDATED FROM THERE. AND I DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A TIME FRAME ON I WOULD LIKE TO START THIS. I MEAN OBVIOUSLY I WOULD LOVE TO START EVERYTHING LIKE RIGHT NOW, BUT FOR THIS ONE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL GOT SOME TIME AND TASK ON THAT, ON THOSE, ON THOSE TASKS. BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE DONE AND THE COUNCIL APPROVES THIS LATER ON, I'M GOING TO ASK WHO WOULD TAKE THE CHALLENGE WITH ME. TO DO THESE SEVEN, TO DO THE SEVEN TASK. WELL, I MEAN, HOW DARE US NOT LEAD BY EXAMPLE? SO. SO. YEAH, I MEAN, IF YOU ALL THINK ABOUT IT, A LOT OF THE STUFF IS ALREADY WHAT'S ALREADY IN OUR TEARS. AND SO IT'S JUST REALLY GOING THROUGH AND DOCUMENTING THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ALREADY DOING OVER TIME. YES, MA'AM. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SO I WAS REVIEWING THIS. I DID HAVE QUESTIONS ON WHY WE NOW THAT YOU ALL HAVE HOMEWORK, THE APPLICATION PROCESS, HOW THAT APPLICATION FORM IS GOING TO LOOK, AND THEN THE PROGRAM HANDBOOK. THAT WAS KIND OF I WAS KIND OF CURIOUS ON WHAT THAT ENTAILS. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING

[02:25:04]

YEAH. AGAIN, THIS IS UNDER CITY COUNCIL. SO IT FALLS UNDER ADMIN AGAIN. SO THAT'S SOME OF THAT STUFF MIGHT JUST BE OVERKILL IN THE PROCESS. AND SO YOU KNOW I SPENT SOME TIME LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET AND PIECING TOGETHER JUST KIND OF THE PROCESS AND PROCEDURES BECAUSE I ALWAYS EXPECT FOR US TO WHEN, WHENEVER WE START GETTING READY TO APPROVE SOMETHING, TO REALLY GO INTO THE LOGISTICS OF IT LATER ON AND FROM THERE. SO I WOULDN'T HOLD TOO MUCH TO THE LOGISTICS PART, BECAUSE THE INTENTION IS ALL FOR ME IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE EASIEST, THE EASIEST PATH FORWARD. THAT'S LEGAL. ALSO. OKAY, I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT I DID REACH OUT TO MY COLLEAGUES FROM OTHER CITIES, WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS OUT THERE, WHAT OTHER CITIES WERE DOING. I HAD ZERO RESPONSE, BUT ACTUALLY I DID HAVE RESPONSES ON OH, THAT SOUNDS GREAT, LET ME KNOW HOW THAT GOES. SO WE'LL PROBABLY BE THE FIRST ONES TO DO SOMETHING.

I INTEND TO BE THE FIRST. SO THEY'RE KIND OF JUST WAITING TO SEE HOW I WAS LIKE. I WAS LIKE, WELL, I'LL GET BACK TO YOU BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S ABOUT JUST YET. BUT I WANTED TO BE BEFORE YOU HAD SUBMITTED THIS, I WANTED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF POLICY OR A DRAFT OR SOMETHING, KIND OF GIVE SOME GUIDANCE TO SEE HOW THAT WOULD LOOK. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE HELPFUL, BUT JUST WANTED YOU TO, YOU GUYS, TO KNOW THAT I DID REACH OUT TO OTHER CITIES AND SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS DOING IT, AND THEY WERE JUST KIND OF CURIOUS ON WHAT BROUGHT IT UP AND WHAT STARTED IT. NOBODY ELSE IS DOING IT. I, I SPENT SOME TIME LOOKING TO SEE WHO WAS DOING IT. AND SO AND IF THEY WERE, THEY WERE DOING IT WELL SO I COULD FIND A MODEL AND I COULDN'T FIND ANYBODY AND SHAME ON ON ALL OF US AS CITIES WHO WE ALL SAY THAT WE CARE ABOUT PEOPLE, WE CARE ABOUT BEING NEIGHBORLY, BUT WE PUT MORE OF OUR BUDGETS INTO POLICING PEOPLE THAN BUILDING COMMUNITY. AND SO ALL ACROSS THE CITY, WHEN IF YOU RUN CITY BUDGETS, THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE. THE LARGEST LINE ITEM IS POLICING PEOPLE. AND THEN WE'RE UPSET WHEN YOU KNOW THERE'S NO DOLLARS TO GO FORWARD OR COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS ARE SHATTERED BECAUSE THE INCREASING DEMAND ON OFFICERS TO BE SO MANY THINGS TO THE PEOPLE, AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE OFFICERS TO HAVE TO BE ALL THE THINGS THEY HAVE TO BE. THEY GOT TO DO COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, THEY GOT TO DEAL WITH MENTAL HEALTH. THEY GOT TO BE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. THEY GOT TO DEAL WITH DRUGS. THEY GOT TO DEAL WITH ABUSE. THEY GOT TO DEAL WITH ALL THAT STUFF. AND POLICE OFFICERS HAVE A VERY, VERY HIGH RATE OF, YOU KNOW, DIVORCE AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR SUICIDE. AND IT'S BECAUSE WE KEEP JUST PUTTING THE WORK ON THEM. AND THE WORK IS RESIDUAL WORK. IT'S AFTER THE FACT RESPONSE WORK. WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE'RE NOT BEING GOOD NEIGHBORS, BUT WE DON'T DO ANYTHING BUT KEEP ADDING POLICE OFFICERS AND KEEP SAYING, WE KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP ADDING MORE WORK ON Y'ALL. AND SO SHAME ON US FOR NOT TRYING TO ACTUALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS BEING MORE NEIGHBORLY. AND I HOPE THEY ARE LOOKING AND I HOPE WE DO THIS AND I HOPE WE ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL. I KNOW WE WILL BE BECAUSE WE HAVE A GREAT COMMUNITY. WE'RE A GREAT COUNCIL PERSON, GREAT CITY STAFF. SO I KNOW IT TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND I HOPE EVERYBODY CHOOSES TO BE PROACTIVE WITH CITY DOLLARS INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR PROBLEMS. AND JUST JUST TO ADD TO THAT, JUST ONE MORE THING. THE BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS ALSO THERE HAS IT'S NOT BUDGETED. SO WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE APPROVED THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS BUDGET SEASON OR AN AMENDED BUDGET, START THINKING THAT'S A PUT A LARGE AMOUNT ONLY BECAUSE. I WAS CONTEMPLATING IF COUNCIL MIGHT WANT TO LUMP ALL OF IT TOGETHER. THIS MAYOR'S BALL AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. I WAS ALSO CONTEMPLATING IF WE ACTUALLY HAVE ENOUGH OUTDOOR STUFF FOR TENTS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF TO HAVE OUR MARKETING AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE NEEDED TO ACQUIRE MORE OF THOSE THINGS FOR THE FORUMS AND STUFF, BUT THE ACTUAL COST OF THE PROGRAM IS JUST COINS. COINS IN THE IN THE TIME AND EFFORT TO DO APPLICATIONS AND THEN COLLECTING ARCHIVE THE WORK THAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED. SO COINS ARE. DEPENDING ON HOW THE SIZE AND 1 OR 2 COLORS, ONE COLOR, WHATEVER, CAN GET UP TO A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THEM.

[02:30:12]

I WANT THEM TO GO THROUGH THE NORMAL PROCESS OF AND PROCEDURES WE HAVE FOR EVENTS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YEAH. BUT MORE MORE IMPORTANTLY, I WANT EVERYONE TO LOOK THROUGH IT, ASK QUESTIONS SO THAT WE CAN COME BACK AND DO A RED LINE AND MAKE A DOCUMENT THAT EVERYONE CAN THAT MAKES SENSE FOR EVERYONE, AND THEN GO AND BUILD POLICY FROM THERE. I WOULD MAYBE SUGGEST THE NEW FISCAL YEAR TO COME BACK TO BRING SO TIME, SO COUNCIL CAN HAVE TIME TO REVIEW AND AS WELL AS STAFF. OH YEAH. I'M NOT TRYING TO I'M NOT TRYING TO EVEN GET TO THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE MONEY. I WAS JUST ANSWERING THE QUESTION ABOUT MONEY. NO NO NO NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. I'M TRYING TO HAVE IT. THE POLICY, THE BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE WORKING ON A DRAFT. IT JUST AS STAFF WILL BE USING THIS. I'M TALKING ABOUT FOR FISCAL YEAR. I'M TALKING ABOUT LIKE OCTOBER FOR IT TO LIKE TO BRING IT BACK IN OCTOBER SOMETIME. OH, I GOT YOU TO HAVE TIME TO REVIEW IT. COUNCILWOMAN HILL WAS ASKING ABOUT IS THERE A DATE THAT WE NEED TO BRING THIS BACK TO YOU? WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING IN AUGUST. ITEMS. THAT'S A LONG TIME. SEPTEMBER.

SOMETIMES, IF IT'S TOO LONG, PEOPLE FORGET. OR IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE ALLOCATING. I MEAN, IT GOES BACK TO THE FUNDS BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE THAT MONEY IS GOING TO COME FROM TO HAVE THOSE. I'M JUST I'M ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT OUR COUNCIL ALLOCATION, OKAY. THE COMMUNITY

[02:35:04]

SO WE'RE GOOD. HOW MUCH TIME DO Y'ALL WANT COUNCIL MEMBERS. I WAS THINKING.

OKAY, WE GOT SECOND MEETING AUGUST, SECOND MEETING IN AUGUST. AND I'LL GIVE YOU MY FEEDBACK ON OKAY. OKAY. SO WHY DON'T WE WHY DON'T WE GIVE MEDIUM HAPPY MEDIUM. AND WE SAY THE FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER OKAY. THAT'S HALFWAY. THAT'S BETWEEN NOW AND OCTOBER. SO FIRST MEETING OF SEPTEMBER I THINK FIRST MEETING WE GOT AUGUST UP HERE. WE GOT AUGUST UP HERE. Y'ALL SAID Y'ALL SAID OCTOBER. YEAH WE DO, WE DO. AND BUT YEAH WE SO AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE NOBODY'S STILL IDEA. WHAT THAT I AM HERE. SO THE SOONER YOU ALL GET YOUR FEEDBACK WE'LL GET YOU THE HARD COPIES SOME KIND OF WAY. JUST SOONER YOU ALL GET YOUR FEEDBACK IN, SOONER WE CAN GET THE DOCUMENTS DONE, SOONER WE CAN WORK ON, ON, ON POLICY BOOKS. SO AGAIN. I'M SORRY. LET ME JUST ASK THIS THIS DIRECTION. IT'S NOT A MOTION. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING. GOING TO ASK VERONICA RIVERA, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE BACK ON SEPTEMBER 3RD? IF IT'S A RED LINE, A RED LINE OF THAT DOCUMENT. OKAY. AND THEN WE'D BE COMING BACK WITH A RESOLUTION THE FOLLOWING MEETING. OKAY. YOU SHOULD JUST SIT OVER THERE. I WAS I'M GOING TO RESEND. WELL, SEND THE DOCUMENT TO YOU ALL TO DO THE RED LINE TO DO. Y'ALL CAN DO RED LINES ON IT. I THINK THEY WANT THE PAPER COPY. YES, I'LL PROVIDE PAPER. I CAN AS WELL.

I'M FINE WITH THIS ONE. YOU'RE FINE WITH IT. CAN WE AFTER WE FINISH TONIGHT, CAN WE JUST PRINT IT? DOES THAT PRINT? I GOT A NEW PRINTER AT HOME, SO I'LL PRINT IT. OKAY? YES. EMAIL IT TO ME AND I'LL PRINT IT. ALL RIGHT, I'LL MAKE SURE, BUT I DO. OKAY, I'LL SEND YOU AN EMAIL. YOU ALL AN EMAIL WITH THE DEADLINE. THAT'S NOT THAT'S GOING TO BE WAY IN ADVANCE IN SEPTEMBER 3RD.

[EXECUTIVE SESSION]
