MY NAME IS ROBERT BATTLE. I CALL MYSELF THE HONORARY MAYOR OF MAYOR VILLAGE, MANOR VILLAGE. AND FRANKLY, I FIND IT OFFENSIVE WHEN YOU SAY PRAYERS. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, EVERY TIME YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH, IT'S A LIE. AND WHEN YOU DON'T SAY SOMETHING, THAT'S A LIE OF OMISSION. YOUR. TONIGHT, I'M SUING ALL OF YOU PEOPLE PERSONALLY. NOW THAT MEANS YOU DON'T GET TO HIDE BEHIND THE CITY ATTORNEY ANYMORE. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND YOUR OWN ATTORNEYS, AND YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY NEED TO DO SOME BORROWING MONEY TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY. YOU'RE ALL BEING SUED PERSONALLY. AND THAT INCLUDES SOME OF THE POLICE OFFICERS. THAT INCLUDES THE JUDGE, J. CABALLERO DOES NOT GET TO PREVENT ME FROM FILING A COMPLAINT TO THE COURT, AND YOU DON'T GET TO SIT ON THEM IN THIS MEETING TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT YOU GIVING MONEY FROM OUR CITY TAXPAYERS TO YOUR FRIENDS AT MANOR ISD. HE WORKS FOR MANOR ISD. FOLKS, THAT'S AN UTTER CONFLICT OF INTEREST. YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE OUR MANOR CITY OF MAYNARD TAX MONEY AND GIVE IT TO SHADOW GLEN AND PRESIDENTIAL MEADOWS. JUST BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOT HAVE THE MENTALITY TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ETJ AND THE CITY LIMITS. AND FURTHERMORE, YOU DON'T GET TO PASS A LITTLE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT THAT YOUR ATTORNEYS, YOUR ATTORNEYS DO NOT GET TO MAKE A CRIME LEGAL JUST BECAUSE THEY LET YOU DO IT. THIS IS AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.YOU SAY RIGHT HERE THAT YOU'RE GIVING OUR MONEY FOR RESIDENTS WITHIN THE CITY, CORPORATE LIMITS AND EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. NOW, I'M NOT ASKING YOU GUYS TO SPELL THAT WORD TONIGHT. I KNOW THESE ARE HARD, BUT YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE OUR MONEY. AND IF YOU DO, AFTER YOU'VE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY. I THINK YOU OUGHT TO TABLE THAT MOTION AND GO IN THE BACK AND LET YOUR ATTORNEY TALK TO YOU A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO RISK 3 OR 4 OR 5 OR $10,000 OF FINES, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO A TRIAL, WE HAVE TO SCHEDULE THIS WITHIN 45 MORE DAYS. JUDGE GAMBLE IS GOING TO BE THE JUDGE, AND I'M GOING TO BE PERRY MASON. I'M GOING TO BE ASKING YOU QUESTIONS AND DEPOSITIONS UNDER OATH AND ON THE STAND. AND I ASKED FOR IT TO BE TELEVISED TO. THIS IS GOING TO BE A TRIAL. ONE OF YOUR LIES IS YOU LET SCOTT DUNLAP STEAL $15 MILLION OF OUR MONEY. WHEN HE DID MANOR HEIGHTS, THAT WAS UTTER THEFT.
YOU GUYS WANT TO PRETEND YOU DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WATER RETENTION POND AND A PARK? YOU APPROVED FLOODPLAIN IN THE FEMA FLOODPLAIN AS PARKLAND. DO YOU NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? YOU NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. AND THE POINT IS YOU DON'T GET TO PLAY DUMB ANYMORE. THIS LADY HERE, SHE'S BEEN ON HERE FOR TEN YEARS. I CALL HER AN WHERE LIKE, WHERE HAS SHE BEEN? HERE'S ONE LAST THING. YOU APPROVED A SCHOOL, BUT YOU DIDN'T APPROVE ANY PARKS. THAT'S KIND OF THAT'S WHERE YOUR HEAD IS. IN FACT, THE
[00:05:01]
CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION WANTED THESE GUYS TO TAKE A TWO THIRDS PAY CUT AND DIDN'T WANT.THEY SAW THAT AS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. SO YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO NEED TO LAWYER UP. LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE IS ON HERE. A BUNCH OF WORTHLESS PROCLAMATIONS. MUNICIPAL CLERKS WEEK. THE CLERKS ARE GOOD. IT'S THE JUDGE. THAT'S A JACKASS. THAT'S YOUR WARNING. WHAT'S THAT? SURE WARNING ON YOUR LANGUAGE. FOR WHAT? FOR YOUR LANGUAGE. WHAT? JACKASS IS A CUSS WORD. NOW IN TEXAS, NEXT TIME YOU SAY ANYTHING, YOU'RE GOING. PARDON ME. NEXT TIME YOU SAY THE WORD, YOU'RE OUT. IT'S HOW I SAY IT. NEXT TIME YOU SAY THE WORD, YOU WILL BE OUT. WELL, CAN I SAY IT MORE POLITELY AND THEN IT'S OKAY. I'M SUING HIM BECAUSE HE HAS. YOU KNOW WHAT ULTRA VIRUS IS? DOES ANYBODY IN HERE KNOW WHAT ULTRA VIRUS IS? THAT MEANS YOU EXCEEDED YOUR AUTHORITY. HE DOES NOT GET TO PREVENT. THE JUDGE DOES NOT GET TO PREVENT ME DOING A MUNICIPAL COURT COMPLAINT AGAINST ONE OF YOU WHEN YOU DO A CRIME. THE PROBLEM IS THE CITY ATTORNEYS ARE IN BED WITH YOU GUYS FOR 20 YEARS, AND I'M SUING THE CITY ATTORNEYS PERSONALLY, TOO. THEY KNOW BETTER THAN THIS. THEY DON'T GET TO PLAY DUMB EITHER, YOU UNDERSTAND? ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET A TIMER LIGHT? I KNOW THIS IS YOUR IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR JOB. HOW'S MY TIME DOING? YEAH, ONE MINUTE LEFT. ONE MINUTE. OKAY, GOOD. AS FAR AS THE POLICE GO, I LIKE THE COPS. SOMETIMES THE FISH ROTS FROM THE HEAD DOWN. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING COVER UPS FOR, LIKE, TWO YEARS, AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE ON THE STAND, MR. RYAN. YEAH. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE 380 AGREEMENT IN JONES. LISTEN, MR. JONES, YOU DON'T GET TO BRING AN ITEM UP AND NOT PRESENT ANY BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER. ALL YOUR COMMENTS TO CITY COUNCIL, NOT STAFF MEMBERS. YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS US BECAUSE THAT'S THE RULES. THAT'S THE RULES. IT'S MICKEY MOUSE CLUB RULES, 25 SECONDS, FIVE SECONDS, 25. OKAY. WELL, YOU HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR WIFE YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR HOUSE? YOU SAY ONE MORE THING ABOUT MY FAMILY MEMBERS. YOU WILL BE BARRED FROM BEING HERE BY. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA IS MR. BYRON. IS BENOIT. BENOIT. HOW HARD IS IT? THAT'S WHY Y'ALL SAID, OKAY, GET IN HERE. I'M A LITTLE FARTHER BACK. I'M JUST HERE TO SUPPORT THESE GUYS HERE. AND MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AND AWARENESS. AS YOU CAN SEE, I PROBABLY DON'T RIDE A MOTORCYCLE AND I DON'T I DON'T OWN ONE. AND BUT THESE FINE PEOPLE OVER HERE, WHATEVER THEY THINK IS RIGHT, I'M FOLLOWING THEM. THEY'RE FIRST CLASS AND THAT'S WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. THANK YOU SIR. NEXT WE HAVE IS A CLARK HANCOCK. COME ON UP, SIR. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. YES, I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. MY NAME IS CLARK HANCOCK. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE SAVE TEXAS DREAMS. WE WERE FIRST STARTED, OH, BACK IN 1979 WHEN THIS PART OF TEXAS SURE LOOKED A LOT DIFFERENT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THERE WERE PEOPLE GETTING TOGETHER AND LOOKING AT WHAT WAS COMING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THEY WERE THINKING, WE'VE GOT SOME PROBLEMS AND HOW WE DEAL WITH OUR SURFACE WATER AND HOW HUMAN ACTIVITY NEGATIVELY CAN AFFECT THAT. AND SO TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF THE GAME, WE STARTED WORKING ON DEVELOPING PUBLIC AWARENESS AND DEVELOPING POLICIES THAT PROTECT ONE OF THE MOST VITAL PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITIES. IT'S NOT THE PEOPLE, IT'S NOT THE BUILDINGS, IT'S NOT THE ROADS. IT'S THE LAND AND THE WATER THAT FLOWS THROUGH IT. THAT'S THE FOUNDATION FOR ANY GOOD COMMUNITY. OVER THE YEARS, WE'VE SEEN THE PROBLEMS THAT WE WERE ADDRESSING BACK THEN MANIFEST IN ALL SORTS OF OTHER COMMUNITIES AND MANNER. YOU'VE GOT SOME RIGHT NOW THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. WILBARGER CREEK RIGHT OVER HERE. MAJOR, MAJOR WATERWAY, 47 MILE WATERWAY GOING ALL THE WAY FROM PFLUGERVILLE, THROUGH ELGIN AND THEN DOWN TO THE COLORADO RIVER. DO YOU KNOW THAT 100% OF THE BASE FLOW OF THAT CREEK COMES FROM WASTEWATER EFFLUENT DISCHARGE? 100% OF THE BASE FLOW OF THAT CREEK COMES FROM WATERS THAT WE, AS COMMUNITIES, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING IN AND ENSURING THAT OUR DOWNSTREAM NEIGHBORS DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS, THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH. WILBARGER RIGHT NOW, YOU ALL ARE IN A GREAT POSITION.
[00:10:06]
TRAVIS COUNTY JUST PUT A MESS OF MONEY INTO THE WILBARGER CREEK GREENWAY. YOU HAVE LANDOWNERS ALL ALONG THE CREEK THAT HAVE SET UP CONSERVATION EASEMENTS TO PROTECT THE LAND AND TO PROTECT THE BUFFER. OFTEN IT IS GETTING THE LAND AND ACQUIRING THE LAND FOR PRESERVATION, WHICH IS THE HARDEST THING TO DO. THAT'S ALREADY DONE. THERE'S ONE THING THAT'S MISSING, AND THAT'S THE QUALITY OF THE WATER ITSELF. RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE ALL IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A NEW WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM, AND I BELIEVE THAT'S 800,000 GALLONS A DAY THAT IT'S GOING TO BE PERMITTED FOR. THAT'S A LOT OF WATER UPSTREAM. YOU GOT PFLUGERVILLE DOING THE SAME THING, AND ALL DOWN THERE YOU'VE GOT, WHAT, 10 OR 12 MORE PLANTS GOING IN? THAT WATER IS GOING TO BE WHAT FLOWS THROUGH THE SURFACE OF YOUR COMMUNITY AND WHAT GOES DOWNSTREAM. YEAH. 15 SECONDS. OKAY. AND YOU CAN DECIDE WHETHER THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ALGAE BLOOM OR A AMENITY THAT PEOPLE ARE PROUD OF, THAT PEOPLE CAN GO AND CELEBRATE AND TAKE THEIR FAMILIES TO AND PARTY WITH. IT'S YOUR DECISION. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE. YOU ARE GUIDING THIS COMMUNITY INTO THE FUTURE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR OWN WEBSITE, YOUR STRATEGIC VISION TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. AND IF YOU COULD JUST BEAR WITH ME. DUSTIN. THAT'S THE TIME, SIR. I'M SORRY. I DO APPRECIATE IT. YES. AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR SERVICE. THANK YOU. WE HAVE NEXT, MR. TYLER FOSTER BURKE. GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS TYLER FOSTER BURKE.I SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOA AND THE BELL FARMS NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS. IT'S ONLY THE SECOND TIME I'VE EVER BEEN UP HERE. SO I DID PRINT THIS OUT, AND I'LL READ IT OUT FOR Y'ALL TONIGHT. I'M HERE TONIGHT. REGARDING THE RETENTION POND AND FOUNTAIN LOCATED AT BELLA PARKWAY AND OLD HIGHWAY 20. WHILE THIS POND IS CITY PROPERTY AND IT FUNCTIONS AS A PUBLIC PARK, OUR HOA HAS HISTORICALLY ASSUMED THE FULL FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FOUNTAIN'S MAINTENANCE AND QUARTERLY ECOLOGICAL TREATMENTS FOR ALGAE AND MOSQUITOES. THE FOUNTAIN IS NOT MERELY A ESTHETIC, IT'S ACTUALLY A CRITICAL PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT PREVENTS STAGNANT WATER, MITIGATES PEST POPULATIONS, AND PROVIDES ESSENTIAL AERATION FOR THE POND'S ECOSYSTEM. RECENTLY, WE HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN UNAUTHORIZED FISHING. THIS HAS LED TO FREQUENT COSTLY REPAIRS CAUSED BY FISHING LINES, ENTANGLING AND DAMAGING THE PUMP SYSTEMS OF THE FOUNTAIN. BECAUSE THIS IS A PUBLIC PARK, OUR HOA LACKS THE AUTHORITY TO IMPLEMENT AND ENFORCE NO FISHING POLICIES. OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IS SIMILARLY RESTRICTED AS THEY CANNOT LEGALLY REMOVE INDIVIDUALS FROM PUBLIC CITY LAND. WE BELIEVE THAT FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO REMAIN VIABLE, THE MANAGEMENT OF THE ASSET MUST ALIGN WITH THE OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND. I'M HERE TO FORMALLY REQUEST THAT THE CITY OF MAYNARD ASSUME OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS FOUNTAIN. THIS TRANSITION WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO IMPLEMENT THE NECESSARY FISHING RESTRICTIONS THAT'S REQUIRED TO PROTECT THE EQUIPMENT AND ENSURE THIS PUBLIC SPACE REMAINS A CLEAN, FUNCTIONAL ASSET FOR ALL OF THE RESIDENTS. AND THEN JUST ONE MORE THING I WANT TO ADD THAT I DIDN'T WRITE DOWN. THERE'S A SMALL GAZEBO NEXT TO THIS RETENTION POND THAT'S PART OF THIS CITY PARK. AND THIS GAZEBO OVER THE YEARS HAS HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS DONE. OUR HOA ACTUALLY PAID TO HAVE A NEW ROOF PUT ON IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BECAUSE THE CITY FUNDING DIDN'T ALLOW FOR IT. WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A NICE AREA FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, BUT THAT GAZEBO IS ABOUT TO FALL OVER. IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF RESIDENTS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENT ABOUT IT. I THINK ONE BIG STORM WILL COME THROUGH, AND I THINK IT'LL ACTUALLY FALL OVER ONE DAY. SO I JUST WANT TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION ALSO. BUT I'M MAINLY HERE ASKING THE CITY TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE FOUNTAIN THAT'S IN YOUR POND IN THE THE BELL FARMS PARK. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU SIR.
SEE NEXT WE HAVE MISS ANN. HI, MY NAME IS ANN BROCKENBROUGH AND I'M WITH THE WILBARGER
[00:15:17]
CREEK CONSERVATION ALLIANCE. AND WE'RE ACTUALLY MAINLY HERE TONIGHT TO INVITE YOU.

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE WEEKEND OF JUNETEENTH. WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. AND I WANTED TO BRING YOU THESE UPDATED MAPS OF THE TRAVIS COUNTY WILBARGER CREEK GREENWAY.

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

THE JUNETEENTH REUNION IS BRINGING BACK ONE OF THOSE TRADITIONS JUNE 19TH THROUGH THE 21ST 2026.
WE INVITE EACH OF YOU TO JOIN US AS WE REVITALIZE THE CELEBRATION OF FAMILIES, OLD AND NEW, SHARING THE HISTORY AND THE RICH HERITAGE OF A COMMUNITY THAT BEGAN THROUGH INDEPENDENCE AND GREW INTO A LASTING COMMUNITY GROUNDED IN FAITH, STRENGTHENED BY FAMILY TIES AND SUSTAINED BY A SHARED COMMITMENT TO ONE ANOTHER. THE REUNION IS MORE THAN A GATHERING GATHERING. IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THE COURAGE THAT FOUNDED THIS COMMUNITY, CELEBRATE THE FAMILIES WHO CARRIED IT FORWARD, AND ENSURE THAT THE LEGACY OF LITTIG CONTINUES TO BE PRESERVED FOR THE GENERATIONS TO COME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND WE CERTAINLY HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. THANK YOU. NEXT, WE HAVE ONE HERNANDEZ. HELLO, MEMBER, CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JUAN HERNANDEZ, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO OUR
[00:20:05]
LITTLE COMMUNITY CLEANUP DAY, SATURDAY, MAY 30TH FROM 9 A.M. TO 12 P.M. AND AT THE TOWN OF LYTIC. LYTIC IS OUR HOME, OUR HISTORY, AND OUR LEGACY.

[A. Manor Business Spotlight Award ]
COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO PRESENTATIONS. WE HAVE A PRESENTATION UP LETTER, A MINOR BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT AWARD. ASHLAND. TAYLOR.GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS YOU GUYS KNOW, EACH MONTH THE CITY OF MAYNARD RECOGNIZES A LOCAL BUSINESS THAT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND IN SERVING OUR COMMUNITY. TONIGHT, I'M PROUD TO PRESENT THE MAY 2026 MAYNARD BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT AWARD TO TAQUERIA SAN JUAN. TAQUERIA SAN JUAN HAS BECOME A STANDOUT IN MAYNARD FOR ITS AUTHENTIC FOOD, WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE, AND CONSISTENT DEDICATION TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. RESIDENTS REGULARLY HIGHLIGHT THE RESTAURANT'S CLEANLINESS, FRIENDLY STAFF AND THE QUALITY OF ITS HOMEMADE OFFERINGS. BEYOND THE DINING EXPERIENCE, WHAT TRULY SETS TAQUERIA SAN JUAN APART IS ITS CONNECTION TO THE COMMUNITY, FROM CREATING A SPACE WHERE EVERYONE FEELS WELCOME TO SHOWING SMALL BUT MEANINGFUL ACTS OF KINDNESS, THE TEAM EXEMPLIFIES WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A VALUED LOCAL BUSINESS IN MANER, THEIR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY SERVICE AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MAKES THEM A DESERVING RECIPIENT OF THIS RECOGNITION. AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INVITE JUAN, THE OWNER OF TAQUERIA SAN JUAN, TO COME FORWARD TO RECEIVE THE MAY 2026 MAYNARD BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT AWARD.
YOU. ALL RIGHT? NEXT UP, COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE HAVE A. SUMMARY OF LEARNING. AS YOU ALL
[B. Summary of Learning ]
KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS SOME SOME TIME BACK AND AND CREATED THIS PILOT FOR INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. AND SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY WE WERE HAD TO INTRODUCTION TO CELINA AND HER DAUGHTERS AND AND SHE'S BEEN HERE AND COMMITTED TO 420 HOURS OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH WORKING WITH COUNCIL AND STAFF MEMBERS. AND SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK THAT[00:25:02]
SHE'S DONE AND HER UPCOMING GRADUATION FROM TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY. AND YEAH, SHE'S JUST DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB. SO WE'VE INVITED HER TONIGHT ON HER LAST DAY OF, OF INTERNSHIP TO SHARE WHAT SHE'S HER SUMMER OF LEARNING AND THIS EXPERIENCE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE. SO I'M GOING TO GO OVER MY SUMMARY OF LEARNING. FIRST, I WANT TO START WITH THE DEFINITION OF SOCIAL WORK BY THE COUNCIL OF SOCIAL WORK EDUCATION. IT'S A PROFESSION DEVOTED TO HELPING PEOPLE FUNCTION THE BEST THEY CAN IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT. THIS PAST 15 WEEKS, 420 HOURS, I HAVE SPENT TIME WITH DOCTOR HARVEY AND THE CITY TO LEARN WHERE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL WORK INTERSECT. SOME BIG TAKEAWAYS FOR ME WERE REALLY SOCIAL WORK IS EVERYWHERE. PERSON IN ENVIRONMENT THEORY IS WHEN WE FOCUS ON A PERSON AND HOW THE OUTSIDE WORLD AROUND THEM AFFECTS THEM. AND SO I REALLY GOT TO SEE HOW THAT LOOKS THROUGH THE PROGRESS OF A GROWING CITY. AND THEN ALSO THAT EVERYTHING REQUIRES THOUGHTFUL PLANNING, SOMETHING THAT I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO GET TO DO WAS SIT IN ON A LOT OF MEETINGS AND PLANNING FOR THE CITY'S GROWTH. AND SO I WAS ABLE TO SEE HOW NEEDS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING. AND THIS MEANS THAT WE CAN'T JUST THINK ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW, BUT ALSO FUTURE. AND IT WAS NICE TO SEE HOW FUTURE FOCUSED THE CITY IS ON THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON. THESE ARE MY REQUIREMENTS FOR CLASS. I HAVE NINE COMPETENCIES THAT I HAVE TO COMPLETE DEMONSTRATE ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR, DIVERSITY, DIFFERENCE IN PRACTICE, ADVANCED HUMAN RIGHTS, AND SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE PRACTICE, INFORMED RESEARCH AND RESEARCH, INFORMED PRACTICE, POLICY PRACTICE ENGAGING WITH INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES. ASSESSING INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES. INTERVENING WITH INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES, AND THEN EVALUATING THEM AS WELL. I HAD A LOT OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES, BUT THESE ARE THE ONES THAT I DID THE MOST. AND SO I LISTED THEM HERE ALONG WITH EACH COMPETENCY. CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS HAS BEEN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE COMPETENCIES, AND A LOT OF THEM WERE COMMUNITY FOCUSED AND LEARNING ABOUT HOW A CITY FUNCTIONS DAY TO DAY. WE DON'T THINK ABOUT SOCIAL WORK IN ALL ASPECTS, ESPECIALLY NOT GOVERNMENT. SO IT WAS GREAT TO SEE HOW MUCH SOCIAL WORK REALLY DOES HAPPEN. THIS IS MORE SO FOR COMMUNITY RESIDENTS HERE IN MANER. WHAT CAN THEY DO TO KIND OF GET INVOLVED? I WOULD SAY TO STAY CONNECTED FOLLOWING MAINA'S, FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM, YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOUR MAYOR, AND DOWNLOADING YOUR MY MAINER APP. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THAT APP AND HOW IT HELPS TO GET YOUR CONCERNS ANSWERED A LOT QUICKER. I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT BEING INFORMED REALLY GOES A LONG WAY. GET TO KNOW HOW YOUR CITY FUNCTIONS. I THINK WE TAKE FOR GRANTED HOW MUCH INFORMATION IS REALLY OUT THERE FOR YOU TO LEARN THESE KINDS OF THINGS. AND SO ALL THE INFORMATION'S THERE, GO LOOK FOR IT, GET INFORMED, AND ALSO GET OUT AND PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY EVENTS. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT CAN HELP YOU GET FACE TO FACE WITH PEOPLE AND MAKE CONNECTIONS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, KNOWING WHEN TO VOTE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING OR IF YOU WANT TO SEE THINGS CHANGE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE YOUR VOICE AND USE YOUR VOTE. AND THEN JUST A FEW PICTURES FROM MY TIME HERE.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SO WE DID HER OUR FINAL EVALUATION TODAY WITH MISS VILLARREAL FROM FROM TEXAS STATE AND TEAM. I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE IS A LOT OF TALENT HERE IN CELINA. HER SKILL SETS, HER RESEARCH. SHE SOLVED A LOT OF CHALLENGES THAT I NEEDED IN REGARDS TO GETTING SOME DATA AND INFORMATION FOR OUR COMMITTEES. AS WE'RE ABOUT TO APPROACH LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND, AND ADVOCATE FOR DIFFERENT THINGS, YOU MAKE CONTACTS WITH DIFFERENT LEGISLATIVE OFFICES. SO WE HAVE THOSE CONTACTS AND CAN MORE READILY GET INTO THAT SPACE. AND SO AND WE JUST MET 15 WEEKS AGO, AND I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING A LIFELONG FRIEND.
SO BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO, TO THE CITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PROGRAM. SHE'S ONE TO WATCH. SHE'S GOING TO GO OFF AND TRANSFORM WHATEVER COMMUNITY SHE CHOOSES TO INVEST IN. SO THANK YOU AGAIN, CELINA. THANK YOU GUYS. WAIT, WAIT,
[00:30:03]
WAIT, WE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU. YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD, MISS MOORE? I'LL START. OKAY.THIS IS JUST AN APPRECIATION AND A RECOGNITION OF THE OUTSTANDING SERVICE IN THE KITCHEN. AS FAR AS MAYORS IN THE CITY OF MIAMI. AND A VITAL PART OF THE CITY'S TEAM FOR THEIR COMMITMENT TO LEARNING THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS AND FOR YOUR VALUABLE TIME AND EFFORT TO LEAD US IN OUR COMMUNITY, OUR ABILITY INVESTED IN MAYOR TECHNOLOGY ON. ON THE SIXTH DAY OF MAY 2026, I. PREVIOUSLY. WHAT WE DID IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT IS THE SPEED OF TRUST REVIEW BY OUR STUDENTS IN ORDER TO WORK WITH LEADERS TO DEVELOP THE TRUST, WE MUST FOCUS ON THE CHOICES ONLINE WORDS AND ACTIONS SUPPORTING THE SUCCESS OF OTHERS.

[CONSENT AGENDA ]
ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE'RE GOING TO JUMP TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. ALL ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SELF-EXPLANATORY BY COUNCIL WILL BE ENACTED IN ONE MOTION. THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION ON THESE ITEMS UNLESS REQUESTED BY THE MAYOR OR COUNCIL MEMBER, IN WHICH THE ITEM WILL BE REMOVED BY FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND CONSIDERED SEPARATELY. NUMBER ONE CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING APPROVAL OF THE CITY COUNCIL. MINUTES TWO CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE CITY'S RECYCLING OF OLDER AND OUTDATED IT DEVICES. THREE CONSIDERATION DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MAYNARD AND PFLUGERVILLE ISD COUNCIL MEMBERS. ANY OF THOSE ITEMS I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WOULD LIKE TO PULL OUT. I HAVE A QUESTION ON NUMBER THREE, THE MOU. WOULD YOU LIKE FOR IT TO STAY IN THE CONSENT AND JUST HAVE A QUESTION ANSWERED? OKAY. CAN WE GET A MOTION? AND SOMEBODY CAN GO AND GRAB A MAP? MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS READ WITH QUESTIONS ON ITEM NUMBER THREE. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY COUNCILWOMAN WALLACE. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND? SECOND BY. WHO'S THAT? COUNCILWOMAN WEIR, WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION? I JUST WANTED A LITTLE OVERVIEW ON. ON WHAT EXACTLY THAT WAS. OKAY. WHILE HE'S RUNNING TO GET HIM, I THINK YOU REMEMBER WE HAD THE INTERNSHIP WITH THE STUDENTS THAT WERE DOING THE WATER AND WASTEWATER PROJECTS. YES. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT IS. IT'S UP ON THE WATER WASTEWATER PROJECT.MR. MATT, YOU WANT TO COME UP AND. IT WAS JUST A IT WAS JUST A QUESTION ABOUT THE MOU FOR
[00:50:04]
PFLUGERVILLE. IF JUST REMINDING EVERYBODY WHAT THAT WAS FOR, AGAIN, THAT PROGRAM. YES, SIR.THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MAYOR. THE MOU IS TO WORK WITH PFLUGERVILLE ISD, WHICH WILL HELP WHERE WE CAN WORK WITH THE SKILLS TRADE ACADEMY. IT IS INVOLVED NOW INTO A PROGRAM WHICH IS NOW A WW A, WHICH IS AMERICAN WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION. IT'S PARTNERING UP WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT ENTITIES. AND IT'S NOT ONLY WITH THE WFISD, IT'S ALSO DIFFERENT. OTHER LOCAL SCHOOLS ARE GETTING INVOLVED. I THINK EVEN LIKE LIBERTY HILL AND SOME OF THE PFLUGERVILLE AND ROUND ROCK, THEIR SCHOOLS ARE STARTING TO GET INVOLVED.
THIS THIS IS INSTRUMENTAL FOR OUR WORKFORCE. IT ACTUALLY WILL GET THE THE STUDENTS TO WHERE THEY CAN HAVE A DEEP WATER LICENSE. THAT GIVES THEM A GREAT EXPERIENCE OF GETTING THE LICENSE. AND THAT GIVES YOU KIND OF A GOOD WAY TO GET INTO THE WORKFORCE ALREADY AUTOMATICALLY WITH A LICENSE. IT ALSO GIVES THEM TOURS TO WHERE THEY CAN GO LOOK AT DIFFERENT FACILITIES AND DIFFERENT WATER TOWERS, PUMP STATIONS, WASTEWATER PLANTS.
WE'VE ACTUALLY HIRED PROBABLY 3 OR 4 OUT OF THE SKILLS TRADE ACADEMY AND BEEN EXCELLENT.
LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE IS THERE. WELL, IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, Y'ALL LET ME KNOW AND I'LL TRY TO HELP. THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH IT. YOU KNOW, I WAS WONDERING HOW MANY WE'VE HIRED FROM THE PROGRAM. SO WE'VE HIRED THREE. AND I THINK THAT'S AWESOME. SO I THINK AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO. AND I THINK BEING A PART OF THESE, YOU KNOW, PROGRAMS AND HAVING THESE OPPORTUNITIES IS REALLY, REALLY COOL. WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT. AND IT'S, IT'S VERY EXCITING. IT'S, IT'S REWARDING TO WORK WITH YOU, THE KIDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. AND IT'S A LITTLE SIMPLE SKILLS LEARNING OF LIKE INTERVIEWING, YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING HOW SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THESE KIDS HAVE NOT HAD YET, AND THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET A LITTLE FOOTING AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT AND GET THEM IN THE WORKFORCE. SO I APPRECIATE Y'ALL LETTING US WORK WITH THEM. AND I, I, I JUST GOT THE NUMBER.
THERE WAS 52 THAT APPLIED, BUT BY THE END, THEY WERE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO JUST WITH SENIORS. IT'S GETTING NOW TO 27, I THINK IS ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM THIS YEAR. SO IT'S IT'S GROWN QUITE A BIT IN THE 4 OR 5 YEARS. AWESOME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I WOULD JUST SAY, MAYOR, THANKS FOR ALLOWING US TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ALLOWING US TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW STAFF TO ALLOW THESE STUDENTS TO COME THROUGH AND SEE FIRSTHAND WHAT IT TAKES TO OPERATE A WATER SYSTEM, AND THE FACT THAT WE CAN GET A FUTURE OPERATOR OUT OF THE PROGRAM AND ALLOW THEM TO GROW WITH THE ORGANIZATION IS KEY. IF THEY CAN GET IN AT 18 AND THEN THEY CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A FUTURE HERE. SO THANKS TO MATT AND THE TEAM FOR BEING ABLE TO BE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE INTERNSHIP FOR FOR THE MAYOR COUNCIL, THIS IS MORE ALLOWING THESE STUDENTS TO GET THAT REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE THAT WE CAN HOPE TO RETAIN THEM AS OUR SYSTEMS GROW. AND WE NEED PEOPLE THAT CAN JOIN OUR TEAM THAT THAT WANTS TO BE PART OF MESNA. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
AGAIN. WE HAVE A VOTE ON TWO MOTIONS ALREADY. ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES
[4. Consideration, discussion, and possible action on an Interlocal Agreement Between Manor Independent School District and the City of Manor for the Summer Library Program.]
UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT. WE MOVE ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS NUMBER FOR CONSIDERATION.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF MAYNARD. PUBLIC. THAT'S YOUR WARNING. PLEASE DO NOT SPEAK OUT. DURING OUR MEETING. CONSIDERATION. DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE ACTION ON INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN MAYNARD INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF MAYNARD FOR THE SUMMER LIBRARY PROGRAM. COME ON UP, MISS DOCTOR DOYLE. GOOD EVENING. I'M KENDRA DOYLE, I'M THE DIRECTOR FOR ADVANCE. I'M SORRY FOR ACADEMICS AND MULTILINGUAL SERVICES IN MAYNARD ISD. SO I SEE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND YOU HAVE IN YOUR ATTACHMENT TO THE SUBMITTED PROGRAM, WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT WE PASSED SOME YEARS BACK TO CREATE SPACES AND FOR KIDS IN SUPPORT LITERACY.
AND THAT'S THE DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN FEEL THOSE NOW. UNTIL MISS ADELE, GREAT JOB. OKAY. SHE'S BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY MEMBERS. YEAH, SHE MISS PERRY COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT, BUT SHE'S ORGANIZING ALL OF THE THINGS AND SHE'S GOT POSTINGS UP AND SHE'S WORKING TO RECRUIT PARTICIPANTS FOR THIS PROGRAM.
OKAY, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WHAT PLACE IS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS? WILL THAT BUS GO? SO THE BUS IS GOING TO BE IN A LOT OF PLACES. THE BUS IS GOING THROUGH LAGOS ELEMENTARY PARK,
[00:55:09]
THE SHADOW GLEN POOL HOUSE. THERE'S A WHOLE CALENDAR WHERE THE BUS TOUR IS GOING TO GO, AND SO IT'LL HIT ALL PARTS OF SHADOW GLEN AND LAGOS AREAS. YEAH, THE LIBRARIES THAT WE'RE INTENDING TO USE ARE LAGOS ELEMENTARY AND BLAKE MANOR ELEMENTARY, AND WE'RE GOING TO USE THOSE. I THINK IT'S JUST MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAYS, 23 DAYS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER.WE'RE CLOSED ON FRIDAYS. OKAY. SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, THERE'S BEEN COMMUNICATION THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITH CITY COUNCIL. AND I'M SORRY, EXCUSE ME, WITH CITY STAFF IN REGARDS TO WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO PUT PROGRAMS AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. AND BECAUSE WE DO ACTUALLY HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF OUR CHILDREN AT ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT ARE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
IN SHORT, THAT'S WHAT ALLOWS US TO TO DO THE PROGRAMING THAT'S IN FRONT OF US. AND SO DESPITE MISINFORMATION THAT WAS SHARED EARLIER TODAY, THAT'S ALREADY BEEN CHECKED OUT AND CLEARED. I JUST WANTED I JUST WANTED IT FOR THE RECORD THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF THE STUDENTS DO LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, THAT WHEREVER THE BUS GOES IN THE ETJ OR IN THE CITY LIMITS, THAT OUR STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS ACTIVITY. BECAUSE I SEE JENNY LANE PARK ON HERE, I SEE WALMART, I SEE THE CITY HALL AND LAGOS ELEMENTARY. THOSE ARE ALL WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. SO THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING AN ACTIVITY FOR OUR STUDENTS AND ALSO HAVING LIBRARIES OPEN DURING THE SUMMER. YEAH. AND JUST A REMINDER, YEARS AND YEARS AGO WE WERE LOOKING AT, IF YOU REMEMBER THIS, WE WERE LOOKING AT DISCIPLINE DATA AND CRIME STATS IN REGARDS TO OUR CITY. AND WE HAD A LOT OF JUVENILE CRIME. AND OVER THE TIME WE SAW THE, THE TIT FOR TAT TYPE STUFF START GETTING WORSE. IT BECAME. THE OFFENSES BECAME STRONGER AND WE STARTED MOVING FROM, YOU KNOW, HEY, STOP THAT TO, YOU KNOW, MISDEMEANORS AND FELONIES. AND SO WHAT WE KNOW IS WHEN WE DON'T CREATE, WHEN WE DON'T OPEN UP PUBLIC SPACES WITH PROGRAMING FOR OUR KIDS DURING THE SUMMER, THEY GET INTO TROUBLE WHEN WE DON'T OPEN UP SPACES FOR OUR KIDS TO CONTINUE LEARNING. ALL THE RESEARCH SHOWS, LEARNING THROUGH THE TALKS ABOUT THE SUMMER GAPS AND THE HOW MUCH LEARNING WE LOSE DURING THE SUMMERTIME IF WE'RE NOT CREATING OPPORTUNITIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO SUPPORT LEARNING TO SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITIES, TO SUPPORT THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE THROUGH SUMMER ACADEMIES BY OUR NONPROFITS IN THE AREA. THEN WE ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMITMENT AND YOUR DECISION YEARS AGO TO INVEST DOLLARS ANNUAL INTO THE COMMUNITY FOR SAFE SPACES FOR OUR KIDS. AND THANK YOU, DOCTOR DOYLE, FOR COMING IN AND TAKING HELM AND MAKING SURE THAT THE WORK GOT DONE AGAIN FOR THE KIDS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR GOOD CALLS. NO, I JUST WANTED TO I JUST HAD A COMMENT. AND MY COMMENT IS I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF EMAILS AND CALLS AND TEXT MESSAGES ABOUT THE PROGRAM, AND A LOT OF IT HAD TO DO WITH ACCESS TO BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH BOOKS. SO I THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING EVERYONE IN YOUR PROGRAM. AND THEN ALSO, I DO PARTICULARLY ENJOY IT HAVING BEING HERE ON CITY HALL ON WEDNESDAYS WHEN WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT AND WE CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE KIDDOS ENJOYING THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AS WELL. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBERS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, MA'AM. GO AHEAD. I HAD ONE I ENJOY IT TOO, BUT I WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WAS IF IT'S ALSO BUS STOP, NOT THE BUS STOP. OH, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A FUN WHEREVER READING ON THE BUS GOES. CAN THE THE METRO BUS ALSO STOP AND PICK UP THE KIDS? YOU KNOW, LIKE, CAN THE KIDS RIDE THE BUS TO STOP AT THE SCHOOL? SO DURING THOSE TIMES, LIKE IF THEY KNEW, I KNOW THEY PROBABLY CAN ONLY GO IN SIDE OF MAYNOR, BUT LIKE NOT TO THEY CAN GO TO BLAKE MAYNOR OR CAN THEY? THE METRO BUS, THE METRO, THE METRO VAN. IT WON'T BE. THEY DON'T GO ON THE DISTRICT
[01:00:03]
PROPERTIES. THEY GO, BUT THEY GO LIKE KIND OF ADJACENT TO IT. SO THEY COULD TAKE THEY CAN STILL HAVE THE FREE ACCESS, THE FREE RIDES IN THE SUMMERTIME TO GET TO THOSE LOCATIONS WHERE THE READING ON THE BUS IS GOING TO BE, OR TO AT LEAST TO LAGOS. I'M NOT SURE THAT IT GOES TO, TO, TO BLAKE MAYNOR, BUT MOST OF THAT, A LOT OF COMMUNITY OUT THERE CAN CAN WALK TO IT. THEY HAVE SAFE PATHS TO WALK TO THAT LOCATION. OKAY. BUT IT'S POSSIBLE, I GUESS FOR, FOR THOSE, FOR THE, FOR THE LOCATIONS WITHIN THE IN THAT ROUTE. CORRECT. AND WALMART, THEY CAN MAKE IT TO WALMART, THE BUS, THE, THE BLUE VAN. YES. OKAY. JUST ASKING, I GUESS DURING THE SUMMER, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO, TO BE ABLE TO GO THERE WITH THEIR PARENTS, WITH TRANSPORTATION ISSUES FOR THEMSELVES. BUT THANK YOU. ARE THERE LUNCHES OFFERED WITH THE READING ON THE GO BUS? IS THERE LUNCHES OFFERED WITH THE READING ON THE GO BUS? IS THERE LUNCHES? YES, YES. INCLUDES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO GET BREAKFAST AND LUNCH. IF WE'RE RIDING THE BUS DURING THOSE HOURS AND OUR FOOD, TRANSPORTATION, OUR FOOD NUTRITION DEPARTMENT IS PREPARED TO SUPPLY THOSE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND MY GRANDSON LIKES THE BUS, TOO. HE LIKES THE BOOKS. HE GETS OFF THE BUS.ALL RIGHT, I'LL TAKE A MOTION.

AND WE HAVE THE DEVELOPER HERE IN THE AUDIENCE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM. BUT THIS IS JUST A TECHNICAL CHANGE OF THE DATE. WE'RE GIVING THEM A ONE YEAR EXTENSION, AND THIS IS DUE TO THE PROBLEMS IN THE PARKING LOT AND SUCH THAT WERE REALLY CAUSED BY THE THE DEVELOPER NEXT DOOR. AND THEIR PROBLEMS WERE CAUSED BY THINGS THAT THEY FOUND IN THE STREET. AFTER THEY STARTED DIGGING QUESTIONS, COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO THE 380 AGREEMENT CANNOT BE. IT DOESN'T START UNTIL A FINAL CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY IS APPROVED AND GRANTED TO THE TO THE OWNER.
AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT, THAT CAN'T START UNTIL THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARKING LOT AMENDMENT. PARKING LOT PROVISIONS ARE COMPLETED AND THAT CAN'T BE COMPLETED UNTIL THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR COMPLETES THERE. SO IT'S LIKE A DOMINO EFFECT.
