[PUBLIC COMMENTS ]

[00:05:04]

WE DON'T HAVE A PARKS MASTER PLAN. YOU TALK ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL H-E-B IS, BUT YOU DIDN'T MENTION WE GAVE THEM $20 MILLION. YOU TALKED ABOUT RIDE SHARES. CAN YOU GET CAPMETRO TO RUN ON THE WEEKEND? MAYBE WE PAY THEM $0.01 OF THE EIGHT CENT SALES TAX ON THE WEEKEND, BUT THEY DON'T. THEY DON'T RUN. THAT'S A DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICE. SO YOU WANT US TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR? MAYBE YOU SHOULD PUT SOMETHING IN THE PARK SO PEOPLE HAVE A REASON TO GO OUT AND TALK TO EACH OTHER. THERE'S NOTHING FOR ANYONE TO DO ANYWHERE IN TOWN. YOU PRACTICALLY DESTROYED THE BOCCE BALL COURT. I STARTED A LEAGUE IN 2009. IT HAS 600 PEOPLE PLAYING NOW. THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE. THIS WAS. I'M TALKING FOUR YEARS AGO. FOUR YEARS AGO, I HAD A FREE DISC GOLF COURSE. ME AND TWO OTHER GUYS READY TO PUT IN IT.

TIMMERMAN PARK. AND YOU REFUSED IT. SO WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE A BEACON OF LIGHT, THAT'S A TOTAL BUNCH OF BALONEY. I DO KIND OF AGREE THAT THERE IS A DIVINE PLAN, BUT YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT IT IS. I GAVE YOU A CHANCE TO BE A STATEWIDE LEADER, TO GET RID OF CORRUPTION IN TEXAS, TO GET RID OF THE COURTS OF NO RECORD. BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO STAND UP. THAT'S CORRUPTION. HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF CORRUPTION IN TEXAS. YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A STATEWIDE. YOU COULD HAVE LAUNCHED YOUR POLITICAL CAREER. WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER CORRUPTION VEHICLE, AND THAT'S HAVING THE CITY ATTORNEY AS THE PROSECUTOR FOR THE COURT. DO YOU THINK SHE'LL EVER BRING A CHARGE AGAINST ANY OF YOU? WELL, SO FAR SHE HASN'T. I FILED 36 MUNICIPAL COURT COMPLAINTS, CLASS C MISDEMEANORS, BECAUSE YOU GUYS BASICALLY ARE RUNNING A RACKETEERING CITY. THIS IS A RICO TOWN. YOU GOT THE CORRUPT COPS IN BED WITH THE CORRUPT CITY ATTORNEY. WE GOT THE CITY SECRETARY HIDING INFORMATION AND MR. CITY MANAGER GOING ALONG WITH IT. I ASKED FOR A COPY OF THE GPR MAP THAT YOU GUYS APPROVED. 32,500 FOR THIS MR. POLICEMAN HERE. HE CAN'T FIND IT. AND THEN HE DISPARAGES ME TO TRAVIS COUNTY. YOU TOLD A BUNCH OF LIES, SIR. I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING LIED TO. PARDON ME. I OPPOSE YOUR TIME.

REMEMBER, YOU'RE ADDRESSING COUNCIL. SO SAY THAT AGAIN. YOU'RE ADDRESSING COUNCIL. SO LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT STAFF MEMBERS. YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT US, BUT YOU ADDRESS. I CAN TALK ABOUT THE STAFF IF I FEEL LIKE IT AGAIN. RIGHT. NO YOU CAN YOU CAN FOLLOW OUR DECORUM AND DECORUM. YOU'RE PUTTING TOWNHOMES ON GRAVES AND YOU WANT TO TELL ME ABOUT DECORUM? I'M NOT HERE TO ARGUE WITH YOU. I CAN HAVE YOU HERE AND LET YOU FINISH YOUR 30S. I'M JUST ASKING YOU TO ADDRESS YOUR COMMENTS AND CONCERNS WITH CITY COUNCIL. SEE MY COMMENTS AND CONCERNS INCLUDED. STAFF MEMBERS. THAT'S CORRECT. PARDON ME. THAT IS YOUR WARNING. YOU HAVE 30S. OKAY, THIS WHOLE NONSENSE ABOUT THE TOURS AND YOU TALKING ABOUT THE GREAT STUFF AND ALL THAT TOURS TO COMMITTEE, GUESS WHO THE COMMITTEE IS? IT'S THE CITY COUNCIL. GUESS WHO TURNS TO REPORTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THIS IS A GIVEAWAY TO PETE DWYER. THERE'S NOTHING BLIGHTED ABOUT OVER THERE. NOTHING AT ALL. THESE TOURS, THINGS.

THAT'S ANOTHER CLASS C MISDEMEANOR. THE FINES ARE UP TO 500 BUCKS. WE'VE GOT 36 OF THESE STACKED UP. AND I GUARANTEE YOU THE JUDGE IS NOT GOING TO PLAY PATSY WITH YOU GUYS. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. NEXT UP WE HAVE MR. TRAVIS TAYLOR. AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES SIR.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. AS A NEW RESIDENT OF MANOR, I HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH.

[00:10:02]

THERE'S BEEN ISSUES WHERE I LIVE OFF OF SKIMMER RUN AND RING ROAD, WHERE WE'RE GETTING PEOPLE THAT ARE BLOWING RIGHT THROUGH STOP SIGNS. THERE'S A NEW BUS STOP THAT STOPS RIGHT THERE IN THE MORNING, PICKS UP THE KIDS. THEY HAVE PEOPLE RUNNING THAT RIGHT, RIGHT THROUGH THAT STOP SIGN, NOT EVEN YIELDING TO THE TO THE BUSSES. SORRY, I'M A LITTLE AGITATED RIGHT NOW. THE SPEEDING IN THAT AREA IS AT 35 MILES AN HOUR. GOING THROUGH A PARK. OKAY, I'M A DISABLED VETERAN. IT TAKES ME QUITE A WHILE TO WALK AROUND A PARK WITH MY DOG. JUST TRYING TO CROSS THE STREET, AND THERE'S SIGNS AT THOSE CROSS STOPS WHERE IT SAYS THAT VEHICLES MUST STOP IF PEOPLE ARE THERE. I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN POLICE OFFICERS BUST THROUGH IT WHEN I'M TRYING TO CROSS THROUGH THERE AS WELL. THE SPEEDING IN THIS AREA IS OUTRAGEOUS. I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR SPEEDING REGULATIONS, ESPECIALLY ON 290, BECAUSE IT'S NOT A HIGHWAY. IT IS IN A WAY. BUT ONCE WE GET INTO THE CITY LIMITS, WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE SPEED LIMITS THAT ARE ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR, 50 MILES AN HOUR GOING TOWARDS MCDONALD'S. THAT'S WAY TOO FAST FOR ALL THESE LIGHTS, TRAFFIC'S AND EVERYTHING. I'M ON A MOTORCYCLE TOO, AND JUST BASIC TURNING. I'M ALMOST GETTING CRUSHED BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE RUNNING RED LIGHTS. TRAFFIC IS NOT BEING ENFORCED. ACCORDING TO YOUR STATEMENT, EARLIER YOU SAID YOU HAD OVER 10,000 TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

WE NEED TO NOT WE NEED TO GET DOWN ON THIS. MY NEXT CONCERN HAS TO DO WITH ONCE AGAIN DEALING WITH THE TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING, ROAD CONSTRUCTION AS WELL. I KNOW YOU EMPHASIZED QUITE A BIT ON THAT, MAYOR, I APPRECIATE IT. SOME OF THE MAIN ISSUES THAT I ALSO WANT TO BRING UP IS WE'RE PUTTING BAND-AIDS ON BULLET WOUNDS WE JUST PAINTED. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THAT COST, BUT WE JUST PAINTED LINES ON A ROAD THAT'S ALL DESTROYED UP THERE ON GREG MAYNARD BY THE SCHOOL. BUT YET WHEN I'M ON THE MOTORCYCLE, I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO TIP OFF INTO THE SIDE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SIR. NEXT WE HAVE GREG BROWN. I THOUGHT I'D PUT A LINE ITEM FOR AGENDA ITEM ON MY.

ARE YOU REGULAR COMMENTS? AGENDA ITEM COMMENTS YELLOW TO YELLOW ONES. YEAH. THAT COMES UP STILL NOW DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. BUT YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU GET FIVE MINUTES. ALL THE COMMENTS COME UP TO RIGHT NOW OKAY. YES SIR. SO I JUST SAY WHAT ITEM IS FOR WHAT YOU GET FIVE MINUTES FOR FOUR AND SIX OKAY. GREAT. IN REGARDS TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS A, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE INSTALLATION OF A TURN LANE FOR MONARCH RANCH. THIS KIND OF GOES IN LINE WITH THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER, WHERE WE'RE PUTTING BAND-AIDS ON BULLET WOUNDS. A TURN LANE IS GREAT THERE, BUT I JUST WANT TO OFFER MY PERSPECTIVE AS A DRIVER AND MAINER WHEN WE PROVIDE ACCESS TO THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE RESIDENTS. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S A NO BRAINER. BUT WHEN WE DO SO, WE'RE ALSO ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO CUT THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T LIVE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS DON'T RESPECT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON PASEO DE PRESIDENT RING ROAD. I THINK LAGOS HAS THE ISSUE. I THINK, YOU KNOW, A SHADOW GLAM PROBABLY DOES AS WELL. SHADOW GLEN BOULEVARD. WE'RE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY'RE IN A RUSH. THEY WANT TO GET HOME, YOU KNOW, LEAST RESISTANCE, AND THEY'RE GOING WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT, I THINK. I THINK PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CLOCKED AT 40 ON PASEO DE PRESIDENT. THERE'S TWO BUS STOPS THAT ARE ON THAT ROAD, I THINK THREE WITH THE PRIVATE CHARTER SCHOOLS. SO THE MAIN POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS A TREND LINE IS GREAT AND A TREND LINE IS NECESSARY. BUT WE NEED TO THINK LARGER. WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THESE BULLET WOUNDS. WE NEED TO FIX THE INTERSECTION OF GREG LANE AND 290 SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO CUT THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD SPEEDING TO GET HOME. WE NEED TO IMPROVE THE MAIN THOROUGHFARES THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE MENTIONED IN THE STATE OF STATE OF THE CITY AND. YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY IS JUST BE COGNIZANT OF WHAT MAY SEEM LIKE A TURN LANE AND ACCESS TO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND SOME PEOPLE'S MIND. IT BECOMES A CUT THROUGH OR A HERE'S HOW I GET HOME FASTER

[00:15:01]

YOU KNOW, PARKS HAVE BEEN MENTIONED. I JUST FEEL LIKE THERE'S OTHER NEEDS FOR THAT MONEY. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. ALRIGHT. ALL RIGHT COUNCIL, WE'RE NOW GOING TO MOVE DOWN TO

[4. Consideration, discussion, and possible action on the Monarch Ranch at Manor LLC Development TIA Phasing Agreement. ]

[00:20:09]

SOMETHING TO NOTE WITH THE MONEY THAT'S BEING CONTRIBUTED BOTH WITH TXDOT AND US, THESE FUNDS CAN BE USED AT THE COUNCIL'S DISCRETION TO FUND NECESSARY PROJECTS. AND THERE ARE STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, INCLUDING THIS ONE, THAT KIND OF INDICATE WHERE OUR CHOKE POINTS AND PAIN AREAS ARE. AND WITH THAT INFORMATION UPON COUNCIL DIRECTION, STAFF CAN COME BACK WITH RECOMMENDED PROJECTS THAT CAN ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE MAJOR CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED OR CONTEMPLATED. AND IT'S NOT LIMITED TO JUST THIS POOL OF MONEY. THERE ARE, AS I SAID, OTHER SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THIS ROADWAY. SPECIFICALLY, THEY CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED WHEN MAKING THESE IMPROVEMENTS. BUT ANYTHING DONE ALONG 973 THAT WOULD BE TEXDOT, RIGHT? YES. THAT'S NOT OURS. I THINK THAT'S WHY I WAS WAS WAS WANTING YOU JUST KIND OF TO TO COMMUNICATE AND SHARE THAT IT'S THOSE REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS COME FROM FROM TXDOT VERSUS US WANTING TO SINCE IT'S THEIR ROAD HAVE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS FROM THERE. THAT'S I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAD THAT THAT THAT PIECE. OTHER DID WE LIST OF IS THIS JUST COMING FROM THE GENERAL FUND OR BCT? DEVELOPMENT THIS OKAY. ALL RIGHT. NO OTHER QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR IF THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES.

[5. Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the Settlement and Release Agreement between the City and JM Pipeline related to the Bell Farms and Presidential Glen Lift Station Improvements for the City of Manor, Texas and release of funds thereunder.]

IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE CITY OF MAYNARD AND RELEASE THE FUNDS THERE AFTER THEY'RE UNDER. IS THAT SHE WANTED TO OH THAT'S RIGHT. OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WHAT YOU

[00:25:07]

SO OVERALL, IT WAS LIKE $99,000. THAT WAS LEFT. OF THAT 28,000 THE CITY WAS GOING TO RETAIN, AND THAT WAS PART OF THAT. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC KNOWS THAT WITH THESE CONTRACTS, WE WILL, IN A WHOLE CONTRACT IS RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT. SO WHEN THERE'S CHANGE ORDERS, WE COME BACK AND FORTH AND SEEK THAT. BUT WHEN IT GETS TO THE LIQUIDATED SIDE, WE MAKE SURE CONTRACTOR HAS EVERY RIGHT TO REMEDY THE PROJECT AND CLOSE IT OUT ACCORDINGLY. AND WHEN THEY DON'T, THEN THAT'S WHEN THESE THINGS ARE IN PLACE. SO LIKE FRANK SAID, I'VE BEEN IN SOME MYSELF, AND WHEN IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO THIS ROUTE, YOU STILL WANT THE PROJECT TO BE COMPLETE, BUT YOU STILL WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET SOMETHING IN RETURN. AND IN RETURN IS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO REACH THIS POINT AND CLOSE IT OUT WITH THEIR ATTORNEY AND OUR ATTORNEY, ACKNOWLEDGING THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO GO WITHOUT GOING BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. OKAY, FRANK, HOW MANY MORE PROJECTS DO WE HAVE WITH THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY? WE HAVE NO OTHER PROJECTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY. THIS IS THE LAST. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAD WORKED WITH THE PARTICULAR CONTRACTOR TO UNDER THAT BUSINESS. RIGHT. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. I'LL TAKE QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR MOTION. MAYOR COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2020 6-01, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY AND JM PIPELINE RELATED TO THE BELL FARMS AND PRESIDENTIAL GLEN LIFT STATION IMPROVEMENTS AND PAYMENT OF THE RETAINAGE CURRENTLY HELD BY THE CITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $76,767.71 TO JM PIPELINE. I HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILMAN WALLACE.

[00:30:09]

[6. Consideration, discussion, and possible action on the Advance Funding Agreement for Voluntary Local Government Contributions to Transportation Improvement Projects with no Required Match On-System. ]

IT'S GOING TO TAKE ABOUT 18 MONTHS TO TWO YEARS TO DO ALL THE STUDY FROM BASICALLY 290 ALL THE WAY UP TO SAMSUNG. SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME. BUT THE BIGGEST PART IS TO MAKE SURE WE GET STARTED. IS THIS FROM JUST THE ONE THAT'S FROM BCG FUNDS? YES, SIR. OKAY.

AND I'LL THE REASON WHY I WANT TO ASK THAT QUESTION, BECAUSE I THINK ONE OF THE REQUEST WAS IN REGARDS TO A BETTER USE OF THE FUNDS. AND SO OUR BCT FUNDS ARE FUNDS THAT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS. AND SO THERE'S NOWHERE WE CAN SHIFT THAT. THE RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT IS ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A LOT IN REGARDS TO WHAT HAPPENS IF WE INVEST OR WHAT HAPPENS ON 973, IF WE WERE TO SEE THAT PROJECT GO THROUGH.

AND SO WE'RE IN ONE OF THOSE CRUCIAL TIME PERIODS. YOU ALL RECALL WHERE YEARS AGO, WHEN IT WAS LET THE ROAD GO THROUGH OR LET THE TOLLS STOP. AND YOU KNOW, WE WE DELAYED AND SO IT ENDED WHERE IT ENDS. AND NOW WE HAVE THE CONGESTION ISSUES. AND I THINK, AS WE DID TALK ABOUT IN THE CITY OF SALEM, WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH AND SEEING THAT RESEARCH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS. THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SAW WAS THAT THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT'S GOING TO STOP THAT ROAD FROM ACTUALLY HAPPENING. SO WHAT COULD HAPPEN IS WE WOULD STAY WITH THE NARROW ROAD FROM MAYNOR ALL THE WAY TO WILLIAMSON COUNTY LINE, AND THEN WILLIAMSON COUNTY WOULD THEN OPEN UP IF THEY WERE TO PROCEED WITHOUT US, AND THEY WOULD HAVE WHAT THEY NEED FOR FOR THAT PORTION OF THEIR, OF THEIR AREA. AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE THAT SAME THING HAPPEN ON THAT AREA. AND SO I THINK I HOPE THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME OUT THERE. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE THE WHOLE THING OF DELAY OR BUT THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR ALL THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE HAPPENING AT VALAAM, AND FUTURE SALES TAX AND GROWTH FOR THE CITY DOWN 973 PLUS, I THINK WE STATED 12,000 COUNT. IT'S ACTUALLY UP TO 18,000. AND IN SOME AREAS 18,548 CARS. OTHER AREAS, DEPENDING ON WHERE IT'S COLLECTING FROM NEIGHBORHOODS, IT'S 20,751. SO IT'S IT'S ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT IT WAS. AND THAT WAS A QUICK TURNAROUND BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS, I THINK, TRAFFIC COUNT REPORT, I THINK A YEAR AGO IT WAS 12, BUT A 2323 REPORT BECAUSE I THINK REPORTS A YEAR BEHIND 2023 WAS 1224 IS NOW ALMOST AT AN AVERAGE OF OVER 20,000, DEPENDING ON ON

[00:35:07]

TEXDOT CTMRI CAN KNOW THAT ANYTHING WE SUBMIT IS BECAUSE WE INTENTIONALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THESE IMPROVEMENTS FROM GREGG LANE TO JOHNSON TO TOWER TO SCHMIDT, LOOP ALL THOSE ROADS THAT TOUCH A STATE HIGHWAY. WE NEED THEIR SUPPORT. AND THE BEST WAY TO DO TO DO SO IS TO ADVOCATE AND SHOW THE DATA, THE NUMBERS, THE TRAFFIC, THE THE INCIDENT REPORTS. SO SOMETIMES THESE AND THESE STAGES OF PROJECTS ARE WHEN THEY ASK FOR A THIRD PARTY TO INVEST IN, SOMETIMES THEY'RE ABLE TO WHEN AT FUNDING DO REIMBURSEMENTS. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY DO THAT OR. NO, I THINK WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY, IF WE WERE TO DO SOME THINGS FOR THE PROJECT AND RIGHT OF WAY NEEDS TO BE YOUR UTILITIES NEED TO BE ADJUSTED. IF THERE'S SOMETHING THERE NOW, THEN WE GET REIMBURSEMENT FOR THOSE ALONG THAT OKAY? YES, SIR. CAN I ASK THE QUESTION HOW HOW BENEFICIAL IS IT FOR WHEN OUR RESIDENTS HAVE CONCERNS THAT THEY SPEAK UP AND CONTACT THE ENTITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ROADS THEMSELVES? I THINK THE BIGGEST THING FOR US RESIDENTS IS IF THERE'S AN ISSUE, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. IF THERE'S A PICTURE, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY THAT WE CAN'T SEE LIVE, TAKE A PICTURE, AND THEN WE SHARE THAT WITH EITHER THE COUNTY OR TXDOT. AND THAT IS REALLY BEEN HELPFUL. WHEN WE TAKE A PICTURE OF A ROADWAY THAT'S A COUNTY RESPONSIBILITY. THE NEXT DAY WE GET AN EMAIL, NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IS SCHEDULED TO GET REPAIRED. AND THAT'D BE THE ONE THING WE CAN SAY JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT OUT HERE EVERY DAY.

AND SO THAT HELPS US BE ABLE TO SEND WHAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED PERSONALLY. THE PICTURE HELPS AND THEN WE JUST TRY TO MONITOR IT FROM THERE. BUT THE BIGGEST THING FOR RESIDENTS TO THEY CAN VOICE, BUT SOMETIMES THE VOICING DOESN'T HELP IF THERE'S NO PHOTO. AND THE PHOTO USUALLY LETS PEOPLE KNOW, HEY, THERE'S MANOR NEEDS HELP. AND THAT'S A BIG HELP FOR US IS TO JUST SHARE THOSE PHOTOS AND AND THE RESPONSE I THINK SO FAR, IF YOU LOOK AT THE ROADS OVER THERE ON HIGHWAY 20 EAST OF 979, 73, HOW BAD IT WAS, GREGG MANOR UP PAST FUCHS, WE'VE TAKEN PICTURES AND SENT THAT TO THE COUNTY, AND YOU SEE THAT THERE'S SOME WORK SCHEDULE WHEN WE DO THAT. YES, MA'AM. YEAH. AND I THANK YOU FOR TOUCHING ON THE POINT OF THE CONTINUOUS MEETING WITH TXDOT, WITH WITH CAMPO, WITH, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THESE PARTNERS THAT WE WORK WITH, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT KIND OF NEEDS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED EVERY NOW AND THEN, YOU KNOW, IS WE ARE CONTINUING TO MEET WITH THESE, THESE PARTNERS OF OURS TO PUSH ALONG THESE PROJECTS AND, AND VOICE CONCERNS. RIGHT. AND SO I THANK YOU AND OUR STAFF FOR, FOR DOING THAT. AND I THINK REALLY WHAT COMES OUT OF THAT IS THERE'S GOING TO BE IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE WE SPOKE UP. AND WHEN THEY ASK FOR CITIZEN INPUT YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE THAT. SO THAT'S WHY TEXDOT REALLY WANTS TO MEET WITH US BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO MAKE ALONG 290. AND SO THIS IS JUST OUR WAY OF SAYING, DON'T FORGET ABOUT US. AND IT MAY BE A YEAR OUT, BUT AT LEAST THE PLANNING PART IS IN MOTION. I WONDER, DO WE HAVE AND THIS IS JUST PIGGYBACKING ON WHAT COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE SAID, I WAS TRYING I COULDN'T LOG IN. I WAS TRYING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A IN THE APP SECTION. IS THERE A WAY TO UPLOAD IMAGES ON THAT? DOES ANYONE KNOW? YES. YOU KNOW? YES. COME ON UP. SO ON THE MY MAINER APP, WE HAVE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT FEATURES. THE MAIN

[00:40:07]

AND THERE'S A RESPONSE OUT FROM THAT. SO THEY DEFINITELY THAT RESIDENT FEEDBACK DEFINITELY HELPED MOVE THE NEEDLE. AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS I DIDN'T REALLY SPEND A LOT OF TIME INTO, BUT THE OAK HILL DEVELOPMENT ON 290, ONE OF THE THINGS THEY JUST WHEN THEY DEFINED THAT, WHEN THEY DID THEIR OUTLINE, THE MAJORITY OF THE REASON WHY THE WORK HAPPENED WAS BECAUSE OF THE TOWN HALLS THAT THE RESIDENTS HOST AND BROUGHT IN THOSE OFFICIALS FROM TXDOT, YOU KNOW, OVER 80 MEETINGS. AND SO THEY INUNDATED THEM ABOUT THE NEEDS.

AND SO IT LED TO 640 MILLION, 43 MILLION. SO JUST KEEPING THAT IN MY MIND ABOUT HOW WE CAN MAYBE WORK TOGETHER TO, YOU KNOW, ONE, GET THE TOOLS, MAKE SURE THE RESIDENTS KNOW HOW TO USE THE TOOLS AND THEN WORK TOGETHER WITH OUR WITH OUR COMMUNITY ON, YOU KNOW, FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT TOGETHER. RIGHT. AND JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A HEADS UP, HOPEFULLY THE NEXT MEETING, WE WILL HAVE A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR OUR CAMPO SUBMITTAL FOR THE 2028 TO 2031. AGAIN, SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE MISSED IN THE PAST IS WE'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO HAVE ANY OF OUR PROJECTS ON A LIST, AND SO THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE WE SUPPORT COUNTY PROJECTS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE VICE VERSA COUNTY SUPPORT US, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW OUR RESIDENTS ARE FEELING LIKE THEY'RE NOT THE VOICES ARE NOT HEARD, BUT WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO THEM, WE GOT COUNTY'S ATTENTION, WE GOT TEXAS ATTENTION. WE HAVE EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION. SO ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS JUST INTENTIONALLY SHARE THAT PART. SO THAT WAY IT'S NOT WE CAN DO ALL THE ENFORCEMENT, WE CAN DO EVERYTHING WE NEED TO. BUT THE BIGGEST THING IS TO MAKE SURE THOSE MEETINGS TAKE PLACE AND THE MEETINGS LIKE CAMPO THAT WANTS US TO ATTEND, OR CTMRI WE CAN ATTEND, BECAUSE WHEN THEY SEE US IN NUMBERS, THEY KNOW THAT IT'S IT'S ACTION TAKES PLACE. AND THAT'S ONE THING ABOUT THE 290. IT'S WHEN'S THE MEETING? IT'S MONDAY, 9:00, 9:00. SO FOR ALL OF THOSE OUT THERE THAT ARE INTERESTED, I CAN'T I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MAKE IT THIS MONDAY, BUT THERE'S A MONDAY MEETING WITH CAMPO CAPITAL AREA METROPOLITAN ORGANIZATION, METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION, METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION. THIS ENTITY MEETS ON MONDAYS, ONCE A MONTH, WEEKLY, ONCE A MONTH. AT THESE MEETINGS, THEY GET. THEY DETERMINE WHAT THE WORK THEY DO, DETERMINES FUNDING FOR ROADS TO MAJOR ROADS. AND IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO THEY HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY AS WELL. AND WE CAN GO IN TOGETHER AND COLLECTIVELY WITH WITH DATA AND INFORMATION AND MAKE REQUESTS IN REGARDS TO WHY SOME OF THESE ROADS AND PROJECTS HAVE BEEN MISSED FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. SO HOPE THAT HELPS. YES. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS? DID WE? WE DID NOT GET A MOTION YET, SO I I'LL TAKE A QUESTION OR MOTION. MAYOR COUNCIL I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE ADVANCE FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR VOLUNTARY LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, WITH NO REQUIRED MATCH ON SYSTEM WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT IN AN AMOUNT OF AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $800,000. WE HAVE A MOTION BY

[00:45:05]

ALL RIGHT. BEEN NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. NUMBER

[7. Consideration, discussion, and possible action on the City of Manor event calendar. ]

BUT IT'LL BE MORE KIDS ACTIVITY, MORE KIDS TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY, AND WE'LL HAVE MORE COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES FOR THEM. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO NEXT IS GOING TO BE MAYNARD PALOOZA. WE ARE WE ARE PROPOSING TO REMOVE FRIDAY EVENT DATE TO MAKE THE SATURDAY EVENT BIGGER. AFTER LOOKING AT PLACER AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASPECTS FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, WE ARE LOOKING. THIS IS OUR MOST EXPENSIVE EVENT ON OUR CALENDAR AS WELL AS SCHOOL IS STILL IN SESSION FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND PARENTS WILL STILL ARE STILL WORKING. IF OUR CHANGES TO REMOVE FRIDAY IS NOT.

[00:50:01]

ALSO, WE DIDN'T HAVE MISS CHO. AND SO A LOT OF WHAT WE EXPERIENCED WAS STAFF DOING MULTIPLE JOBS TO CARRY THE GAPS FOR EVENTS. AND SO THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WHAT CONTRIBUTED TO MAYBE SOME OF THE BUMPS IN THE ROAD FOR EVENTS THAT WERE MAYBE HARD. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE HELICOPTER, I'M JUST SAYING ANYTHING ELSE. AND SO I WONDER. BEFORE MAYBE WE JUMP TO THE MOVING, WE MAYBE HAVE SOME MORE, MORE FACT FINDING CONVERSATIONS AND ALSO RETURN BACK TO THE INITIAL CONVERSATIONS WE HAD WHEN WHEN COUNCIL WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SPONSORSHIPS AND THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SO WE'VE WORKED WITH A LOT OF ENTITIES THAT HAVE COME INTO THE AREA THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN, THAT HAVE BEEN ASKING IN REGARDS TO HOW THEY CAN BE A PARTICIPANT IN SPONSORING EVENTS. AND I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THEY'VE ALREADY MAYBE WE'VE ALREADY ASKED THEM. THEY SAID, NO, WE DON'T KNOW. I HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T HAD AN UPDATE ABOUT IN REGARDS TO THAT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST GOT HERE. SO BUT YEAH, JUST KIND OF HAVING US I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE BRINGING THE DATES AND, AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. I KNOW CERTAIN I KNOW A FEW COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE HAD THOUGHTS AND IDEAS, MANY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, HOW TO MAKE IT BIGGER. AND MATTER OF FACT, WE ALWAYS TALK AT THE PALOOZA ABOUT THE IDEA OF HOW SMALLER TOWNS HAVE THEIR MAJOR FESTIVAL AND THEY PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, SO THE STUDENTS HAVE A DAY TO COME AND PARTICIPATE IN THE FESTIVAL AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. SO I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE HAVE TO DO ANY OF THAT. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE'VE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT GOING IN THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

AND SO WE MIGHT NEED TO HAVE SOME TIME MAYBE WHERE WE, YOU KNOW, SIT DOWN AND TALK AND LEARN MORE AND TALK ABOUT WHAT'S FEASIBLE, WHAT'S NOT FEASIBLE, OR HOW WE CAN MAYBE BRING IN SOME MORE EXTERNAL THIRD PARTY ENTITIES INTO THE INTO PLAY, OR DO SET ASIDES WITH SOME OF THE SOME THINGS WE GET FROM IN LIEU OF. O IN LIEU OF THE TREE. YEAH. IN LIEU OF FEES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. MAYBE HAVE JUST HAVE SOME MORE MAYBE SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SOME OF THOSE EXTERNAL, SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES IN REGARDS TO THAT. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AND WHAT KIND OF IDEAS YOU HAVE. I DO WANT TO BRING UP THAT WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO CRUNCH THE NUMBERS ON MAYNARD PALOOZA, WE DO HAVE A PRETTY BIG MAIN ATTRACTION THAT IS SET ALREADY FOR SATURDAY. AND I REMEMBER, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU SAID IT WAS 1000 THAT WAS ATTENDED ON FRIDAY, MAYBE A LITTLE LESS. SO THERE WAS THE MAIN ATTRACTION WAS ON SATURDAY, BUT I DO WANT TO GIVE HER KUDOS.

STEPHANIE IS WORKING. SHE'S ALREADY GOT HER FOOT ON THE GROUND, SHE'S ALREADY GOT SEVERAL DONATIONS AND WE'RE GOING TO. IT'S JUST A GOOD IT'S A GREAT START. BUT OF COURSE WE WANT TO GET WHAT WE CAN DO TO TRY TO TO HELP BUDGET SOME. A LOT OF THESE EVENTS, WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING THROUGH MOST OF THEM, WE'RE PRETTY WE'RE PRETTY DARN CLOSE, EXCEPT FOR MAYNARD PALOOZA. IF WE GET DOWN TO WHERE WE DO TWO DAYS AND STUFF, WE WILL NEED TO COME BACK AND AND AND DEFINITELY LOOK AT THOSE MONEY AVENUES WITH YOU ALL IF IT'S SOMETHING IN LIEU OR IF IT'S HOT FUNDS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE WE CAN MAKE SURE WE CAN HAVE THAT TWO DAY EVENT. SO AND JUST, JUST SO, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE HOLIDAY EVENTS, WE ALSO HAD HAD CONVERSATIONS AS COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, TO PARTICIPATE IN SOME OF THOSE AND TO EVENTUALLY KIND OF MAYBE PASS THOSE OFF LIKE THEY ARE IN OTHER CITIES. AND WE'D BE MORE OF A SUPPORT TO TO A COMMUNITY BASED ENTITY THAT THAT PUTS ON THOSE EVENTS. AND SO THERE'S SOME MODELS JUST RIGHT NEXT DOOR AND ALSO IN PFLUGERVILLE AND SO FORTH, AND THERE'S EVEN A CASE TO MAYBE BRING SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE TOGETHER SO THAT THERE'S MAYBE ONE MASTER CALENDAR FOR SOME OF THOSE HOLIDAYS. AND WE JUST DO OUR

[00:55:02]

RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S GREAT. YOU KNOW, THAT'S WE CAN DEFINITELY BUILD OFF ON THAT AND APPRECIATE YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU'VE DONE SO FAR. BUT YEAH, GOING BACK TO YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE'S, YOU KNOW, AVENUES WHERE WE CAN SAVE SOME MONEY. RIGHT. PARTNER WITH OUR HISPANIC CHAMBER, WITH OUR CHURCH, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE HISPANIC HERITAGE EVENT, YOU KNOW, AND BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SAME CONVERSATIONS, WE WANT IT TO BE BIGGER, RIGHT? HOW CAN WE GET MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED, YOU KNOW? AND HOW CAN WE ALSO SAVE THE CITY MONEY ON THESE EVENTS? AND SO I'M WHENEVER YOU WANT LIKE I'M READY TO MEET WITH ANYBODY. SO OKAY AGAIN JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE BECAUSE I ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS WE DID WAS TALK ABOUT MAYNARD PALOOZA, AT LEAST SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL AND HAVE BEEN LIKE THAT SIGNATURE EVENT, IT BECOMING MORE IT BECOMES A THING THAT GOES AND THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THAT MAGAZINE CALLED T SOMETHING. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? THAT THAT LITTLE CITY MAGAZINE THAT GOES AROUND AND IT BECOMES THE FESTIVAL THAT PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT. IT BECOMES, YOU KNOW, THAT SPACE WHERE, YOU KNOW, THIS WEEKEND I'M GOING TO GO DOWN TO MAYNARD AND KICK IT FOR, YOU KNOW, THE WEEKEND THERE. THAT'S THE THAT'S THE MAIN ONE. AND SO IF SO, IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAYBE LEVERAGE SOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS TO FREE UP DOLLARS, YOU KNOW, I WOULD HOPE WE'D BE ABLE TO DO THAT ONE. YEAH. AND I AGREE ABOUT THE 4TH OF JULY BECAUSE I'M OUT THERE JUST DYING. WHO WHO OUT THERE FOR HOURS. THAT'S WHAT, FROM 6 TO 6 TO FIVE HOURS. YEAH.

THAT'S THAT'S A LONG TIME. THAT'S A WHOLE SHIFT. AND THAT'S A SHIFT OF ENJOYING.

THAT'S A WHOLE WORKSHIFT JUST ENJOYING THE 4TH OF JULY. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WHAT Y'ALL OUT THERE DOING. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT, NINE, TEN HOURS IF, IF, IF NOT MORE. SO I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THAT. SO I'LL STOP I'LL LET Y'ALL CHIME IN AND THANK YOU. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL AND GETTING EVERY IDEA THAT YOU HAVE AND WHATEVER RESOURCES WE CAN DO TO GET THESE EVENTS AND GET PAID FOR AND ACTUALLY HAVE VOLUNTEERS WOULD BE GREAT. YEAH.

SO LIKE I SAID, I THINK THERE'S THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT ARE READY TO HELP. AND COUNCILMAN MORENO'S RIGHT. I MEAN, THE I, WE WERE AT THE THE FESTIVAL EVENT IN SAINT JOSEPH'S AND I MEAN, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL RIGHT THERE TO LEAN IN WITH THAT, WITH WHAT THEY'RE DOING THERE. I MEAN, THEY'RE THEY DO REALLY WELL. THEY'RE THROWING A PARTY. AND SO, I MEAN, THEY THEY DO REALLY WELL. AND SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT FINDING THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND, AND MAYBE SAYING, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS WITH YOU. AND THEN THAT TAKES ALL THAT TIME AND ATTENTION OFF, BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANY CITY STAFF THERE, RIGHT? YEAH. THEY I MEAN, SECURITY, EVERYTHING. SO, SO I MEAN, SO I'M JUST SAYING LIKE THEY'RE FINDING THOSE DIFFERENT. THAT'S THE THAT WAS ALWAYS MY HOPE IS THAT WE FIND THOSE DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GET TOGETHER AND CAN WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THE WHOLE THING, OR WE CAN WE CAN DO THIS MUCH OF IT. CAN YOU HELP WITH THAT? AND AND IT JUST CHISEL DOWN, CHISEL DOWN ON THE, ON OUR TIME AND CHILLS DOWN BECAUSE BECAUSE I KNOW EVEN FOR THE MONEY, THE MONEY WE'RE PAYING AND THE OVERTIME AND ALL THE DONATED TIME IS WAY HIGHER THAN THAN WHAT WE ACTUALLY REALIZED WHEN WE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS. AND I THINK THAT'S ALSO WHAT MAKES YOUR TEAM, YOU KNOW, AND THE POLICE SO AWESOME IS BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DO IN THOSE SPACES. BUT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP GROWING AND WE HAVE TO START THINKING ABOUT THAT SUSTAINABILITY. SO

[01:00:02]

BUT I DON'T AGREE WITH MOVING IT BECAUSE WE HAD AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT AND A LOT OF KIDS THAT CAME OUT, AND IT'S NOW SOMETHING THAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR. SO I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO MOVE IT. WE JUST NEED TO RESTRUCTURE HOW IT'S DONE. WHAT'S THE CAPACITY? TIMMERMAN DO WE KNOW CAPACITY? PEOPLE, CAPACITY AT TIMMERMAN? HOW MUCH? I THINK MAYBE AT OUR LARGEST EVENT, WE'VE HAD SOMEWHERE A LITTLE OVER 4000 PEOPLE OUT THERE. AND THEN WHAT ABOUT OUR OTHER SPOT WHERE WE STARTED DOWNTOWN? WE HAD QUITE A FEW PEOPLE. WE DIDN'T EVER GET A AN ACTUAL COUNT, BUT OVER THE COUNT, OVER THE LONG WEEKEND, WE GUESSTIMATED IT WAS ABOUT 7500 PEOPLE. YEAH, THAT ONE WAS PRETTY CRAZY. YEAH. AND I WILL SAY THIS, I WILL SAY THIS. I LOVE HOW IT LOOKS AT OVER THERE, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE CRAZINESS. CRAZINESS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR YOU ALL. IT'S A LOT. BUT YEAH, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO GO DOWN INTO OLD MANOR AND HAVE THAT BIG PARTY AND FESTIVAL FOR TWO DAYS. IT FELT REAL GOOD. YEAH. IT FELT LIKE AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN THAT SMALL TOWN FEEL. YEAH. WE HAD YEAH, IT FELT REALLY, REALLY GOOD. AND THE BUSINESSES ALL THAT, ALL THE VENDORS THAT YEAR, THEY SOLD OUT. RIGHT? YEAH. THEY SOLD OUT.

EVERYBODY SOLD OUT OF EVERYTHING ON ON FRIDAY AND HAD TO RESTOCK FOR SATURDAY AND, YOU KNOW, MADE GOOD SALES ON THAT. SO YEAH, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TOO. IT WAS CHARMING.

BUT YEAH IT WAS CHAOTIC. YEAH. YEAH. CHARMING. CHAOTIC. YOU KNOW, NOT ENOUGH PARKING. BUT IT WAS RIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS HUGE. I JUST KNOW THAT LIKE, IT WAS A DIFFERENT FEEL. IT WAS SO MANY POSITIVE FEEDBACK, SO MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK. AND WE HAD PEOPLE COMING FROM SOUTH AUSTIN TO THE ONE WE HAD DOWNTOWN. THE THING IS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEING STATED IN THE COMMUNITY IS WE DO NOT DO LIKE THE PARADE THAT WE USED TO DO FROM. WAS IT FISHER PARK TO CITY HALL OR, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY USED TO CLOSE OFF THIS LITTLE INTERSECTION RIGHT HERE AND HAVE THE SCHOOLS PERFORM AND HAVE THE MARCHING BAND COME THROUGH? WE NOW HAVE TWO MARCHING BANDS IN IN HERE. WHAT HAS BEEN STATED IS THAT SMALL TOWN FEEL THAT WE HAD OF HAVING THOSE TYPE OF EVENTS IS NO LONGER HERE. WE WANT THE BIG STUFF TOO, BUT WE ALSO STILL NEED TO INCLUDE WHERE OUR PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE IN THE GENERAL AREA ARE NOT BEING LEFT OUT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MAKE IT OUT THERE. YEAH. THANK YOU. YES, WE WE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT THAT. WE'RE WHY DON'T WE HAVE A PARADE, YOU KNOW, SO THAT HAS BEEN ON OUR RADAR. AND THAT'S FUNNY BECAUSE MY SON THAT LIVES IN ORANGE WAS ASKING ME, DID Y'ALL HAVE A PARADE? AND I SAID, NO. AND HE SAID, BECAUSE HE LIVES IN ORANGE. AND HE SAID, THEY HAVE A PARADE IN ORANGE FOR EVERYTHING. THEY LOVE THE SMALL TOWN PARADE. THE PEOPLE COME OUT AND SHOW OUT FOR THAT AND THEY LOVE IT. SO YEAH, YEAH. AND MY FINAL COMMENT IS TO PIGGY OFF OFF THE MAYOR AND ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HAVING SOMETHING IN IN OLD DOWNTOWN MAYNOR. RIGHT. IT'S THAT FEEL RIGHT. IT DID FEEL GOOD. YOU KNOW, I LIVED HERE MY ENTIRE LIFE IN THIS SMALL TOWN DOWNTOWN AREA. AND SO IT WAS PRETTY COOL TO SEE, YOU KNOW, A CARNIVAL AND A FIREWORKS SHOW AND, YOU KNOW, NICE CONCERT WITH THE WATER TOWER. NOW WE HAVE IT LIT UP, YOU KNOW, SO IT WOULD LOOK REALLY NICE. AND I KNOW IT WAS CHAOTIC, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH JUST CONSIDERING TRYING TO DO SOMETHING IF IT MAY NOT BE MAIN PALOOZA, BUT HAVING SOMETHING DOWN THERE, BECAUSE, I MEAN, IT BENEFITS A LOT OF PEOPLE. I MEAN, ALL THE BUSINESSES DOWN HERE, YOU KNOW, ERIC DAVIS AND THIS OTHER, YOU KNOW, BUILDINGS THAT ARE GETTING BUILT, IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT, YOU KNOW, SO MANY SMALL BUSINESSES AND OUR

[01:05:02]

AND SO THEY HAD BEEN INTERESTED IN MAYBE LOOKING AT SOMETHING AT TIMMERMAN PARK OR EVEN JENNY LANE, DEPENDING ON LOGISTICS AND, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. BUT HOW CAN WE MAYBE TAKE THAT, LIKE PROMOTE SOMETHING SO THAT PEOPLE CAN HEY, IF YOU COME HAVE A MEETING WITH US OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE WHAT? WHAT IS WHAT'S A GOOD TIME FOR FOR THOSE KIND OF THINGS TO TAKE PLACE? AND HOW SHOULD WE, LIKE, DIRECT THOSE KINDS OF THINGS SO THAT PEOPLE THAT WANT TO AND THIS IS NOT PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING FOR FREE.

SO THIS IS LIKE FOLKS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS THAT I'M THINKING OF, THEY THEY WERE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE CITY, BUT OTHER ONES THEY HAD THEY, YOU KNOW, EXTERNAL FUNDING TO PUT IT ON OR WHATEVER. BUT HOW DO WE HOW WOULD YOU PREFER FOR US TO, TO GUIDE FOLKS THAT IS JUST CALL YOU? OR IS THERE A IS THERE AN OFFICIAL PROCESS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN DO OR HAVE HAVE EVERYBODY MEET AT ONE TIME SO YOU'RE NOT INUNDATED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR? WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT? I BELIEVE THAT IF WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER THAT WAY, IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER FOR EVERYONE. SO THAT WAY WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE PRIOR TO THE NEW YEAR STARTING, AND THEN THAT WAY WE CAN GO THROUGH ALL THE EVENTS AND THEN GO THROUGH ALL THE LOGISTICS OF THAT. FAR AS AS OTHER FESTIVALS COMING, I BELIEVE IT'S JUST CONNECTING WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE. MOST OF THEM ARE CONTRACTED THROUGH THAT LAND UNTIL A CERTAIN TIME.

SO ONCE WE CAN KNOW THEIR CONTRACT, WE CAN OFFER OUR LAND FOR THEM TO COME BRING THEIR FESTIVAL HERE. AND THEN THAT WAY WE CAN DO THAT. WE DO HAVE OUR SPECIAL EVENT APPLICATION FOR THEM TO FILL OUT, AND THEN WE CAN SET THAT UP AS A CONTRACT AND THEN CREATE THAT AS WELL. OKAY. AND I DO, I, I HAVE TO GO BACK IN MY EMAILS TO TRY TO FIND THE CONTACTS. BUT THERE'S BEEN THREE DIFFERENT GENRES OF MUSIC FOLKS INTERESTED IN KNOWING LIKE, OKAY, IS THERE AN INFORMATION SESSION ON HOW TO HOW TO DO, HOW TO PLAN AND BUILD A MUSIC FESTIVAL IN MESNA? AND AGAIN, THAT'S THAT'S STRAIGHT REVENUE FOR US BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHATEVER THEY GOT TO DO ON THEIR END TO TO PAY FOR WHOEVER TO DO WHATEVER THEY'RE GOING TO DO. SO YEAH, I THINK BECAUSE THAT'S A QUESTION THAT I GET ASKED TO IS HOW DOES SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, PARTNER WITH THE CITY, HOW DO THEY PLAN, YOU KNOW, AN EVENT. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE MUSIC IS ANOTHER BIG ONE. YOU KNOW, BEING SO CLOSE TO AUSTIN AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SAYING THE NEW WAS IT ZILKER PARK AND WHISPER VALLEY. THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE I MEAN I WOULD NOT BE

[01:10:04]

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS. IS THAT SOMETHING. DOES IT HAVE TO BE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY? CAN IT BE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY? OH, NO. OH, I'M OUT ON SUNDAY. I'LL BE AT CHURCH. I THINK IT'S HARD.

Y'ALL CAN BE THERE. SATURDAY CAN BE AN ALL DAY JUST LIKE IT HAS BEEN. BUT USING THE FRIDAY COST FOR SATURDAY, WHICH IS A BE ABLE FOR US TO MAKE IT A LOT BIGGER, ALLOCATING THAT FUND THERE. BUT WE CAN ALSO HAVE OTHER IDEAS FOR FRIDAY AS WELL. IF IT'S NOT JUST A CONCERT AND A CARNIVAL, AND THAT COULD BE THE THE COMMUNITY FEEL. I LIKE THE CAR SHOW IDEA, THE CAR SHOW CHILI COOK OFF. I KNOW THERE'S A GENTLEMAN THAT WOULD LIKE TO BRING A FUNDRAISER THERE AS WELL, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT FRIDAY COULD BE THAT DAY TO BRING THAT SMALL TOWN FEEL BACK TO MAYNARD PALOOZA. I MEAN, WE GOT TIME AND I CAN TELL YOU IN MAY AND AND MAYBE EXPLORE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, THE STAR DATES OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT WHEN THEY FINISH, START TESTING AT THE SCHOOLS, THEY NEED A DAY. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THESE IF THAT, IF THAT WEEKEND ALIGNS WITH WITH THEM FINISH WITH START TESTING. BUT IT MIGHT BE A CONSIDERATION AS YOU KNOW, AND TO GO FROM THERE BECAUSE ALSO I'M NOT I'M NOT SAYING TO MOVE THE DATES. WHAT I'M SAYING IS THERE'S DURING THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL, LIKE THEY'RE TAKING KIDS ON ALL KIND OF FIELD TRIPS BECAUSE THEY'VE FINISHED FINALS AND STUFF EARLIER LAST WEEK AND A HALF.

SOMETIMES IT'S JUST NOTHING. SO IT MIGHT BE A SPACE TO MAYBE DIVE INTO THAT AND SEE IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, FOLKS IN DALLAS ALL THE TIME, THEY GOT A DAY OFF FOR THE FAIR AND THEY AT THE FAIR SPENDING MONEY ALL DAY LONG ON ON THAT FRIDAY. SO JUST YEAH. YEAH. SO FRIDAY IS TYPICALLY THE EVENING. SO IT'S GOING TO BE FROM LIKE 5 TO 10. I KNOW THAT'S WHY I WAS MEANING IT'S SO IT'S FINANCIALLY IT'S NOT WORTH IT BECAUSE IT'S JUST IT'S JUST THAT AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING. IT'S LIKE IT'S NOT WORTH IT BECAUSE IT'S JUST A HALF DAY. CORRECT. BUT IF IF THE DAY IS EXTENDED AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THROUGHOUT THE DAY BECAUSE KIDS GO, GUESS WHERE THE PARENTS GOING TO BE AT, RIGHT? AND SO IT'S ANOTHER WAY TO TO DO THAT. AND, AND I THINK WE'VE DONE YEAH, WE'VE DONE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FREE EXCEPT FOR THE RIDES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE. AND THAT'S ALSO AROUND CINCO DE MAYO. SO IF WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS GEARED KIND OF TOWARDS THAT AS WELL, LIKE JUST MAKE FRIDAY HISPANIC HERITAGE BECAUSE OF CINCO DE MAYO, YOU KNOW, THE FOOD, THE THE IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MUSIC, YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF MUSIC, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT TYPE OF STUFF GOING ON. PLUS A CAR SHOW. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. OKAY. OKAY. CAN DO THAT. DOES THAT HELP OR DID WE TOTALLY DERAIL IT. AND IT'S NOT REPAIRABLE. NOW I THINK I JUST NEED TO PUT MY THINKING CAP ON AND TO JUST CRUNCH SOME NUMBERS, SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO HAVE THOSE TWO. AND

[01:15:06]

OKAY. AND ONE MORE THING, BECAUSE I WE'VE ALWAYS KIND OF GONE BACK AND FORTH ABOUT THE SOME OF THE CELEBRATIONS START AND START, START, START IN TIMES AND HOW LONG THERE ARE AND I THINK A KEY FACTOR IN ALL, IN ALL OF THAT IS THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE. WELL, WE HAVE HAD WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS, BUT WE HAVEN'T REALLY HAD A CHANCE TO PLAN THE TOP OF THE YEAR EVENTS AND THE FALL LIKE WE NEED TO. SO WE HAVE A LIST, WE HAVE LESS ATTENDANCE, AND THEN WE SPEND A LOT OF OUR TIME ON APPALOOSA. AND SO EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT IS KIND OF, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, KIND OF DIPS. AND I'M SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING ABOUT THE JUNETEENTH ONE BECAUSE WE GO, REALLY, THE BIG THINGS ARE THE PALOOZA. AND THEN THE 4TH OF JULY. AND SO A LOT OF TIME ATTENTION DOESN'T HAPPEN THERE ON JUNETEENTH, WHICH IS WHY THAT'S ONE OF THE ONES I'M SUGGESTING, WORKING WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON, BECAUSE I KNOW THEY THEY LIKE THE LENGTH OF IT, AND THEY WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE IF, IF WE SUPPORT THEM, BE WILLING TO HELP CARRY THAT ONE AND, AND GET MORE FOLKS OUT AND GET MORE ENTERTAINMENT AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO, SO I THINK THAT'S THE REASON WHY THAT ATTENDANCE.

YEAH, I THINK WE SAID IT WAS LIKE 400 LAST YEAR. I THINK THAT THOSE NUMBERS CAN GO UP AND WILL GO UP IF, IF WE CAN HELP BY JUST BRINGING PEOPLE TO THE TABLE FOR THEM TO START PLANNING WITH US, MAYBE THE FIRST YEAR, AND THEN KIND OF GRADUALLY RELEASE OUT OF THAT AND JUST BE MORE OF A SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, CONSULT FOR THEM. AND THEY GOT IT. SO KEEP IT AT FROM 12 TO 8. WELL, I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S HOW THE I THINK WE NEED TO PROBABLY HAVE A THERE'S A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT ALWAYS LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT ONE THAT AREN'T HERE. I WOULD SAY INCLUDE THEM IN THAT CONVERSATION AND THEN TALK ABOUT WHAT'S FEASIBLE. OKAY.

BECAUSE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE KEY THING IS THE MONEY. SO I WOULD SAY LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT'S FEASIBLE, WHAT WE'VE INVESTED IN IN THE PAST. AND IF THERE'S A WAY TO TO STILL NAVIGATE THOSE THINGS WITH, WITH THE AVAILABLE FUNDING FOR THIS YEAR OR NOT, AND THEN GO FROM THERE. AND BECAUSE THEY MAY KNOW FOLKS THAT MIGHT SUPPLEMENT THAT, OKAY. OR TAKE YOU COMPLETELY OFF YOUR HANDS. SO BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT'S THE LONG TERM FOR JUNETEENTH, OR AT LEAST THAT WAS THAT WAS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? I JUST I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU SAW ANY OF THE OTHER PROPOSED TIMES OR DATES. IF Y'ALL HAD ANY COMMENTS OR ANYTHING. PROPOSED DATES FOR MOVIES IN THE PARK AT ONE POINT.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE A MONTH INSTEAD OF BACK TO BACK FRIDAYS, RIGHT? BECAUSE I THINK ONE YEAR WE DID BUNCH OF FRIDAYS IN A ROW. IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH, IT WAS LIKE, WAS IT JUNE? IT WAS JUNE BECAUSE, YEAH, IT WAS BUSY. I REMEMBER WE HAD WE HAD FRIDAY MOVIES EVERY NIGHT AND THEN WE HAD JUNETEENTH. AND I FEEL LIKE THERE WAS ONE MORE THING THAT THAT WE DID DURING THAT TIME PERIOD FOR THE JULY HAPPENED RIGHT AFTERWARDS. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. SO SO YOU'RE SAYING JUST TO DOING ONCE A MONTH NOW? YES. I THINK IT'LL BE EASY FOR US TO MAKE IT BIGGER AS FAR AS LIKE MAYBE ADDING VENDORS, ADDING JUST REALLY LIKE YOU SAID, FOCUS ON THIS EVENT OTHER THAN. RIGHT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THAT QUALITY BACK, THE SMALL TOWN FEEL BACK INTO THOSE EVENTS AND NOT JUST HAVE IT BE

[01:20:05]

AND SO I THINK JUST DOING THAT, THAT SAME EFFECT, LIKE, HOW DO WE GET THOSE ADS TO JUST KIND OF BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. AND SO THAT THEY KNOW AND SO THAT THEY SHOW UP ON LIKE IF WE'RE SAYING 730 TO 930, LIKE THEY'RE THERE AND WE CAN KICK OFF AND IT'S A GOOD, MEANINGFUL TWO HOURS OR HOWEVER LONG IT'S GOING TO BE, I THINK THAT I THINK THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT.

LIKE THAT PART HAS TO BE COUPLED WITH THE PLANNING SO THAT WE DON'T JUST HAVE SOME A BUNCH OF GREAT THINGS LINED UP AND THEN 20 PEOPLE COME RIGHT. AND IT'S HARD BECAUSE SUMMERTIME, THE SUN DOESN'T SET UNTIL AFTER 830. SO 930 IS A ROUGH ESTIMATE. ONCE THE MOVIE ENDS, THEN THAT'S WHEN EVERYONE WILL PROBABLY PACK UP AND GO HOME. BUT THAT'S WHAT I ESTIMATE THAT TIME FRAME. SO THAT WAY THEY CAN START, GET THEIR SEAT AND THEN HAVE OUR POPCORN MACHINE, THINGS LIKE THAT, JUST TO GET VOLUNTEERS, CITY STAFF, OR EVEN THE COMMUNITY TO COME AND AND BE A PART OF THAT EVENT. YEAH. AND THEN AFTER MOVIES IN THE PARK, WE'LL HAVE OUR HISPANIC HERITAGE DECK THE PARK AND HOLIDAYS AND MAYNOR, JUST TO LOOK AHEAD ON THOSE PROPOSED TIMES AND DATES. SO IS THAT THE PART THAT'S REALLY JUST ABOUT THE LIGHTING AND THE KICKOFF? THAT'S THE TREE LIGHTING EVENT? YES. YEAH, THAT'S I MEAN, BUT THAT'S LIKE THE MAIN PURPOSE FOR IT. THAT'S WHY IT'S KIND OF A SHORT DEAL. YES. SO THIS, THIS PAST OUR FIRST ONE, ONCE WE DID IT AT. 636, 6 TO 8 WAS OUR TIME FRAME. ONCE WE DID OUR TREE LIGHTING AT 715, 7:00 AROUND THAT TIME, ONCE YOU LIT THE TREE UP, EVERYONE KIND OF DISAPPEARED. YEAH. SO. AND THEN WE ALL HAD TO A LOT OF OUR CITY STAFF DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS AND MAYNARD BEING THE NEXT DAY, IT JUST WAS EASIER FOR THEM TO JUST WRAP IT ALL UP AS WELL. SO THAT'S WHY ONCE THE TREE LIGHTING IS ON, MOST RESIDENTS DON'T STAY. OKAY. THANK YOU.

THEY MOVE IT A WEEK LATER AND. IS IT THE THIRD WEEKEND WHEN EVERYBODY'S OUT? YES, THIS WILL BE THE SECOND WEEKEND. WE DON'T DO WE NOT WANT IS THERE IS THAT BETTER TO DO THE SECOND OR SHOULD WE DO IT THE THIRD. YOU SAID IT'S BETTER TO DO THE SECOND. I WOULDN'T DO IT TOO CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL HOLIDAY. JUST IN CASE STUDENTS ARE LEAVING FOR VACATION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. FINALS. I DON'T THINK THE ATTENDANCE WILL BE AS HIGH IF WE DO IT THE TOO CLOSE TO THE HOLIDAYS. SO HAVING IT THAT SECOND WEEK, BECAUSE MOST OF THE JUST DOING RESEARCH OFF OF SURROUNDING CITIES, I DON'T WANT TO COMPETE WITH THEM. I WANT IT TO JUST BE ABOUT MAYNOR. GOTCHA. SO I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE AWAY FROM TOO CLOSE TO THE HOLIDAY OR TOO CLOSE, OR ON THE SAME DATE AS OTHER EVENTS. GOTCHA. I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS BETTER FOR THE EIGHT OR 12 TO 4. I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON WHAT HOW LIKE WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE. 4 TO 8 SAYS IT'S GOTTA BE GOOD BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'M DONE FOR THE NIGHT. SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE REALLY GOOD. WORTH THE TIME. 12 TO 4. IT HAS TO BE WORTH GOING 12 TO 4 AS WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND THAT MIGHT BE HARDER TO ATTRACT. WE WOULD ADD MORE ACTIVITIES, MORE WOW FACTORS SO THAT THE ATTENDANCE IS STILL HIGH, IF NOT EVEN HIGHER. JUST BECAUSE

[01:25:02]

IT'S NOT A FULLY ACCURATE SOFTWARE WHERE YOU'RE ABLE TO TRACK THE NUMBER OF ATTENDANCE BECAUSE IT ASKS IF YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE AND IT ASKS YOU FOR TRACKING. THAT'S HOW THEY THAT'S HOW PLACER TRACKS YOU. RIGHT? SO WE ARE LOOKING TO REMOVE PLACER AND BEGIN THE NUMBERED WRISTBANDS. SO THAT WAY ONCE RESIDENTS, GUESTS, THE PUBLIC COMES TO OUR EVENTS, THEY WILL GET THAT WRISTBAND. SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP A ACRONYM. YES. TO THE PLACER NO.

YOU HAVE TO ALLOW YOUR PHONE TO TRACK. SO IF WE SINCE WE CARRY TWO PHONES, IF ONE PHONE DOESN'T, OR EVEN CHILDREN, YOU CAN'T REALLY FULLY ACCOUNT FOR THOSE THOSE PEOPLE. GOTCHA. SO YOUR SO THAT'S WHY THESE NUMBERS ARE A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE STATE OF ADDRESS NUMBERS. GOTCHA. MAKES SENSE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS JOHN. THAT WAS THE HOLIDAY. SO THE THE Y'ALL HAVE A PREFERENCE. I DON'T FOR THE HOLIDAYS IN THE PARK. I DON'T REALLY HAVE A PREFERENCE. I GUESS THAT'S ALSO BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS. SO. I MEAN I WOULD SAY TAKE THE FEEDBACK SHIFT INTO SOME OF THESE ACTUAL TIMES AND STUFF, AND THEN MAYBE SHOOT IT BACK OUT SO PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHAT, WHAT A KIND OF LIKE A DRAFT LOOKS LIKE WITH, WITH THE PROPOSED THINGS AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY THOUGHTS BEHIND IT FROM THERE. OKAY, I LIKE YOUR IDEA. WHEN YOU SAID 12 TO 4 AND BEEFING UP FOR FOR ATTRACTIONS. CAN WE DO A COMPROMISE AND DO A 2 TO 6? IS THAT CONFIRMED FOR EVERYONE ELSE? 2 TO 6 IS OKAY WITH EVERYONE FOR HOLIDAYS AND MINOR. THAT'S. THE ONLY. HERE'S MY THE ONLY REASON I SAY IT. IT'S KIND OF IT'S SIX IS HARD BECAUSE IT'S A SATURDAY RIGHT? YES, SIR. SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE YOU HIT THAT ONCE YOU HIT THAT SIX, LIKE IT'S LIKE. NINE AND THIS ONE'S GONE NOW AND IT'S I GOT TIME TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. BUT YOU KNOW, I STARTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND 12 TO 4 I LIKE I UNDERSTAND THOSE TIME BLOCKS BECAUSE I KNOW IF I'M, IF I'M DOING 4 TO 8, THEN THAT'S IT FOR THE NIGHT. IF I'M DOING 12 TO 4, I STILL HAVE TIME TO DO SOMETHING ELSE FOR THE EVENING. SIX KIND OF MAKES IT GO PAST BECAUSE I HAVE EVERY NOW AND THEN I HAVE A MEETING THAT THAT START THAT GOES FROM 5 TO 7 ON A SATURDAY AND IT JUST TEARS MY WHOLE WEEKEND UP AND FOUR DAYS WAS DUE TO THE FIREWORKS. THE FIREWORKS. OH YEAH. WELL, SO IT'S ALSO, YEAH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FIREWORKS AND NO FIREWORKS, RIGHT. SINCE THIS YEAR. YEAH. YEAH. OKAY, FINE. I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FIREWORKS. NO, THAT WAS FROM OUR JULY 4TH, 000, YEAH.

NOW WE. IT'S POSSIBLE. IT'S JUST WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE LOGISTICS OF THAT AND PLAN FOR IT IF IT AIN'T PAYING FOR IT. SO THAT'S WHY OUR ATTENDANCE WAS SLIGHTLY HIGHER DURING THAT 4 TO 8 TIME FRAME. ONE TIME AGO WE TALKED ABOUT WE HAVE DIDN'T WE PLAN NEW YEAR'S.

WE DID. SOMETHING HAPPENED. LOOK, I DON'T RECALL WHAT HAPPENED, BUT WE THERE WAS DISCUSSION OF DOING NEW YEAR'S. AND I THINK THAT THE FOCUS WAS TO CHANGE IT TO I THOUGHT IT

[01:30:02]

IT WAS ADVERTISED. YEAH. BUT THEN IT GOT BECAUSE OF WHETHER IT GOT CANCELED AND IT DIDN'T EVEN LIKE IT DIDN'T RAIN BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING BECAUSE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOWNTOWN.

YEAH. AND I WAS LOOKING FOR IT, BUT. YEAH. YEAH. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. YEAH. IT WAS. YEAH. OKAY.

YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. SO JUST THOUGHT. YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

HEY AGAIN THANK YOU BOTH FOR. THANK YOU. YOU WAY MORE THAN YOU WANT. YEAH OKAY. BUT THANK THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK Y'ALL. ALRIGHT. LET ME FIND MY SPOT. ALL RIGHT. CITY COUNCIL WILL

[EXECUTIVE SESSION ]
