May 07, 2020 Municipal Development Committee

YOU WANNA START? I'LL, I'LL GO.

GO AHEAD LADIES FIRST.

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU.

SO I WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE PERFECT TRAIL PILOT BUNDLE AND SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING ATTENTION TO THIS.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT I KNOW THAT I'VE ADVOCATED FOR AND IS REALLY NEEDED.

UM, I, I LIKE THE, UM, GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

I'M WONDERING IF Y'ALL HAVE DETAILS AT THIS POINT OR NOT.

LIKE WHAT YOU MEAN BY LIGHTING AND SIGNS AND, UM, OR IF RIGHT NOW IT'S STILL KIND OF UP IN THE AIR AND YOU JUST HAVE A GENERAL IDEA.

WELL, I HAVE A GENERAL IDEA, BUT CLIFF HAS A BETTER IDEA AND CLIFF IS ONLINE AND I'LL LET HIM ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

CLIFF, YOU OUT THERE? HEY, UH, CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME? YES.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY.

UM, SO THE, UH, THE, THE BUNDLE INCLUDES LIGHTS ON CAMERAS, LIKE YOU SAID.

UM, THE SIGNAGE WILL BE FROM HOLLOWAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO JENKINS.

UH, CURRENTLY THE, UH, LIGHTS WILL BE THE JENKINS PARK ONLY TO CREATE A RUNNING LOOP, UM, THROUGHOUT THE PARK.

HOWEVER, UM, WE ARE ABOUT TO INSTALL ONE, UH, SOLAR AND, UH, WIND POWERED, UH, LIGHT IN JENKINS PARK RELATIVELY SOON.

AND, AND WE CAN EXPLORE MOVING, UH, TO, TO LIGHT, TO FRAIL BETWEEN.

BUT THE CURRENT SETUP NOW IS ONLY FOR JENKINS PARK.

AND, UM, THE, UH, ON WILL HAVE, UH, MILE MARKERS, UH, MILE MARKERS FOR RUNNERS.

ALSO, THE 9 1 1 LOCATIONS, UH, EVERY THE, THE 9 1 1 LOCATIONS WILL BE EVERY QUARTER MILE.

UH, SO WHERE SOMEBODY FALLS AND TRIPS OR SOMETHING OUT THERE, THEY CAN STILL CALL 9 1 1, AND THEN 9 1 1 WILL KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHERE THEY ARE, UH, TO WHERE THEY COULD GET TO 'EM BETTER.

THEY WENT TO HOLLOWAY OR WENT TO JENKINS.

UM, AND, AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT, IT'LL HAVE THE NAMESAKE SIGN, LIKE, UH, IT'LL SAY, YOU KNOW, WHO HOLLOWAY WAS, WHO JENKINS WAS.

IT'LL HAVE, UM, THE WAVE FINDING SIGNS.

IT'LL ALSO CLEAN UP SOME OF OUR CURRENT SIGNS TO WHERE THERE'S NOT A MILLION SIGNS EVERYWHERE.

THE, THE COMPANY WILL COME IN AND ACTUALLY SPORADICALLY PLACE THE SIGNS WHERE THEY DEEM, UH, MOST CONDUCIVE TO, TO WA FROM THINGS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE ENTIRE PARK.

UM, I ALL THAT SOUNDS GREAT.

UM, SOME OF THE FEEDBACK I'VE GOTTEN, WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE GONNA ADDRESS, IS JUST NOT OVER CLUTTERING WITH, WITH SIGNS, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S, YOU'RE NOT INTENDING TO DO THAT, SO THAT'S REALLY GOOD.

UM, I DO KNOW AS FAR AS THE LIGHTING GOES THAT PEOPLE WOULD EVENTUALLY LIKE TO SEE LIGHTING GO THROUGH THE TRAIL FROM JENKINS TO HOLLOWAY.

UM, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GETS DARK, UM, EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND, AND THE PARK'S NOT CLOSED, IT'S STILL DIFFICULT TO USE THAT TRAIL, OR IT FEELS UNSAFE TO PEOPLE BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S REALLY DARK BETWEEN THOSE TWO PARKS.

SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

UM, BUT OVERALL, UH, I THINK IT'S, I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD START.

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

UM, ESPECIALLY THE SECURITY CAMERA PORTION AND THE 9 1 1 MILE MARKERS.

I THINK IT'S GONNA GO A LONG WAY TO ACTUALLY, UM, REDUCING SOME OF THE CRIMINAL MISCHIEF I'VE SEEN OUT THERE, BUT EVEN MORE SO, UM, IMPROVING PEOPLE'S OVERALL PERCEPTION OF WHETHER THEY'RE SAFE OR NOT WHEN USING OUR PARKS.

SO, UH, I, I LIKE THIS.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT SUCCESSFUL SO WE CAN, UM, IMPLEMENT IT IN OTHER PLACES.

THANK YOU MS. BEN COURT.

PROBABLY MORE SO FOR A RICK ON THE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM.

UH, WANNA MAKE SURE THERE'S ANY ONLINE, LET ME ASK ONLINE REAL QUICK, IS THERE ANY, ANYBODY THAT'S ONLINE THAT WANTS TO HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT, MR. PRESLEY.

SO MINE'S

[00:10:01]

PREVIOUSLY THE FACADE IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM WAS LIMITED TO THE ACE DISTRICT.

SO WOULD THE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT GRANT PROGRAM BE LIMITED TO AT LEAST MAYBE THE CDBG AREAS OR THE OLDER PART OF TOWN? I MEAN, WE, WE WOULDN'T CONSIDER THAT ON GARTH ROAD.

WOULD WE, UH, BRETT CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THIS, BUT CERTAINLY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, OUR INTENTION IS TO EMPHASIZE, UH, PARTNERSHIPS ON OUR MAJOR CORRIDORS OF GREATEST VISIBILITY.

YOU WANNA ADD TO THAT? YES, SIR.

UH, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A LOT OF AREAS IN THE CITY WHERE WE NEED TO GET OUT AND, UH, REACH OUT TO THOSE BUSINESS OWNERS, AND THIS GIVES US A TOOL TO DO THAT.

THE WAY THAT I WOULD PRESENT THIS IS IF WE MOVE FORWARD, IF Y'ALL MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PLAN, THIS GIVES ALL OF US THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE BUSINESSES ON, ON OUR MAJOR THOROUGHFARES AND BE ABLE TO APPROACH THE BUSINESS OWNER, OR MORE IMPORTANTLY, SEND THEM TO ME SO I CAN WALK IN THE DOOR WITH A TOOL TO SUGGEST THAT HERE WE ARE AS THE CITY, WE WANT TO HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR PROPERTY, IMPROVE THE LOOK OF YOUR BUSINESS.

THEREFORE, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IF YOU MAKE IT LOOK MORE ATTRACTIVE, UH, AND YOU DO YOUR PROPER MARKETING, YOU'LL HAVE MORE PEOPLE THAT WILL COME IN.

THIS ABSOLUTELY GIVES US THAT ABILITY TO GO OUT INTO THE AREAS OF TOWN WHERE WE NEED TO DO MORE OUTREACH AND, UH, WORK WITH THOSE BUSINESSES.

WELL, I, I UNDERSTAND THAT AND I THINK THAT'S A, A GREAT CONCEPT.

AND, UH, BUT I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WOULD WE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT ANY POSSIBILITY THAT WE WOULD GO TO THE, THE, THE, THE METAL BUSINESS ON GARTH ROAD WHO'S SITTING ON HALF A MILLION DOLLAR LOT AND, AND OFFER THAT PROGRAM TO HIM WHEN, WHEN THERE'S 20 RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, FOR, FOR ONE IN, IN THE NEWER PARTS OF TOWN THAT WOULD BE IN NEED, RIGHT? I I, IS THERE, IS THERE A TARGETED AREA, SO TO SPEAK, OR AT LEAST A PRIORITY FOR THOSE AREAS? SO A LOT OF THE, A LOT OF THE RULES, GUIDELINES, AND STANDARDS THAT WE'RE GONNA USE ARE YET TO BE PROMULGATED AND, UH, WE WANT TO TAKE THIS FIRST STEP IN PROPOSING THAT.

AND SO THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN, IN TERMS OF STRUCTURING THAT, BUT, UH, CERTAINLY THAT'S A CONSIDERATION.

WE OBVIOUSLY WANNA PARTICIPATE WITH THOSE BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT ONLY WILLING TO IMPROVE THEIR ASSET AND COMPARISON, BUT PROBABLY NEED THAT ASSISTANCE MOST.

AND WHAT GUIDES A LOT OF OUR POLICIES IS THE, IF NOT FOR, UH, TYPE OF, UH, STANDARD, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT OUR PARTICIPATION REALLY, THEY WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO BE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF.

AND, AND THAT KIND OF SEGUES INTO THE NEXT QUESTION ON THE BAYTOWN REVOLVING LOAN FUND.

SO, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE CDBG AREA IS, IS DELINEATED FOR CERTAIN REASONS, AND, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S LOWER INCOME OR UNEMPLOYMENT, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A CHALLENGE TO AREA MM-HMM .

IS THERE ANY POTENTIAL THAT ON THE BAYTOWN REVOLVING LOAN FUND THAT COULD BE PRIORITY, COULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE AREAS THAT HAVE A GREATER NEED DUE TO GREATER CHALLENGES? AND IS THERE ANY WAY WE COULD EVEN INCLUDE A FORGIVABLE PROVISION IN THAT TO MAKE IT MORE BENEFICIAL AND INCENTIVIZE SUCH BUSINESSES? MORE SO, I THINK ALL OF THOSE NEED TO BE GIVEN CONSIDERATION, AND WHILE WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT THUS FAR, WE NEED, WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THAT IDEA.

WE NEED TO DISCUSS THAT FURTHER, BUT GOOD IDEAS.

AND, AND I SAY THIS 'CAUSE I UNDERSTAND, I, I'M LOOKING DOWN THE BUDGET AND I SEE, YOU KNOW, I, I SEE SOME PROJECTS IN DISTRICT ONE AND DISTRICT TWO AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE THRILLED FOR THAT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING FOR YEARS AND YEARS, JUST, YOU KNOW, ABOUT REALLY TRYING TO PUT AN EMPHASIS JUST AS THE HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER IS ONE OF 'EM, BUT JUST TO CONTINUE THAT, THAT FOCUS ACTUALLY IS THE POINT.

YEP.

AND, UM, I KNOW IN THE PAST, ESPECIALLY AS WE WERE WORKING ON THE MARKET STREET REDEVELOPMENT AND IN ANSWER TO THE REINVESTMENT, UM, AREA, I HAVE SPOKEN TO RICK, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ABOUT, UM, DOING THE FACADE PROGRAM DOWN MARKET STREET MM-HMM .

UM, ESPECIALLY WITH, UM, SOME OF THE STORES RIGHT THERE OFF OF MARKET AND, UM, AIRHART, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? MM-HMM .

SO, UM, AGAIN, THAT THAT WAS PROPOSED TO THE OWNERS AND SO I, I THINK AT THAT TIME THEY, THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED IN IT YET, BUT THEY WERE VERY EXCITED THAT IT WAS AVAILABLE.

MARKET STREET'S PROBABLY ONE OF OUR CORRIDORS THAT'S GONNA SEE THE MOST DRAMATIC CHANGES, UH, VERY, VERY SOON, SO.

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

HOPEFULLY THERE'S JUST A LITTLE FLEXIBILITY THERE IN THOSE TWO PROGRAMS AND WE CAN REALLY GET THOSE OUT THERE AND, AND LEVERAGE THOSE TO, TO FURTHER PROFIT INVESTMENT AS WELL AND BE AGGRESSIVE.

I THINK IT DOES US NO GOOD JUST TO KEEP THE MONEY.

THERE AREN'T EXACTLY.

CORRECT.

I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S PROPOSING TO YOU IS WE SPEND IT AND, AND THAT'S WHY I BRING THIS UP BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, WE, IT SAT THERE DORMANT.

WE HAD FOUR PEOPLE DO IT WITHIN EIGHT YEARS.

SO LEGITIMATE, I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT.

SO WHERE'S THE FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FUND IF THERE ISN'T ONE THAT'S LEFT, DOES THAT EXIST SOMEWHERE? IT USED TO.

THERE WAS A NUMBER REPORTED.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT OTHER THAN

[00:15:01]

IN NAME ONLY.

WHAT WAS THAT? WE CHECK AND SEE.

YEAH, BECAUSE I KNOW WE TALK ABOUT IT, BUT IF THERE'S NO MONEY IN IT, THEN IT'S JUST, UH, A POT WITH NO MONEY MM-HMM .

SO I DON'T SEE IT HERE, BUT WE TALKED, I KNOW WHEN I, WHEN I MENTIONED, UH, THIS MORNING, AS LONG AS, AS I CAN REMEMBER, THAT IS, THAT HAS BEEN A COMMON THEME.

UM, UM, THE MDD AND, AND THE COUNCIL IS HOW CAN WE EXPAND THE POWER OF, I, THE PRINCIPLE OF THE FACADE PROGRAM IS GOOD, BUT HOW DO WE OPEN THAT UP AND AND TOUCH MORE BUSINESSES? CORRECT.

AND I THINK YOU'RE SEEING THE GENESIS OF THAT YEAH.

HERE TODAY.

AND, AND I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT, THAT BRETT WILL HAVE THE, THE AUTHORITY TO, TO HAVE SOME INITIATIVE AND, AND SOLICIT THOSE FOLKS INSTEAD OF WAITING ON 'EM TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

BECAUSE A LOT OF THE SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE MOM AND POPS, THEY DON'T KNOW THE PROCEDURE.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH DOOR TO KNOCK ON.

I, I THINK IT'S SO, IT'S GOOD THAT WE CAN BE PROACTIVE.

I THINK IT'S NECESSARY THAT WE DIRECTLY ENGAGE THESE BUSINESSES.

ABSOLUTELY.

THEY'RE NOT JUST GOING TO COME AND, AND, AND CALL BRAD OR KNOCK ON THE STORE.

WE NEED TO TELL THEM, LOOK, UH, AS A, AND WE CAN TAKE THE ALEXANDER CORRIDOR FOR EXAMPLE, AND WE HAVE A COUPLE OF, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES AND HAVE A GENERAL DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW DO WE IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT ALONG ALEXANDER.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND I THINK THAT IN TURN CAN GENERATE MORE INTEREST IN NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, BUT YOU HAVE TO START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND THEN OTHER INVESTMENT WILL FOLLOW.

YES, SIR.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? UH, HOW ABOUT MS. RIO ALVAREZ? I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT SHE'S ABLE TO COMMENT.

SO I THINK SHE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT'S ONLINE.

ANYONE ELSE? YES, MR. KIN, COULD I GET A CLARIFICATION ON EITHER PERCENTAGE OR JUST HOW MUCH WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ON THE, UH, THE LIGHTING PROJECT OR JENKINS PARK? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WE SAID SOMETHING THAT IT WENT INTO HOLLOWAY PARK, UH, WHICH MOST OF THE TRAIL, FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER, MOST OF THE TRAIL THAT'S HIDDEN IN THE WOODS THAT NEEDS THE LIGHTING IS IN HOLLOWAY PARK.

YEP.

AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S A, UH, DELINEATION OR CLARIFICATION THAT HOLLOWAY PARK IS, IS GETTING SOME OF THAT OR NO? NO.

SO NOTHING WILL BE DONE.

THE, THE PROJECT WILL ONLY, THE LIGHTING WILL ONLY BE IN JENKINS PARK.

WE'RE, UH, REDOING THE, UH, SIGNAGE, THE MILE MARKERS MM-HMM .

UH, THROUGH THE WHOLE TRAIL.

BUT, UH, LIGHTING WILL BE JUST THE, UH, OUTER LOOP, A LOOP IN THE JENKINS PARK.

UH, FUTURE WE HOPE TO EXTEND ON, BUT THIS IS JUST FOR JENKINS PARK.

SO I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE COST WOULD BE.

A LOT OF THE CONCERN ON SAFETY IS GOING THROUGH THE WOODS BACK THERE WHERE IT'S DARK AT NIGHT AND THAT'S WHERE THE STUFF IS GOING ON.

THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

NOT OUT THERE IN THE WIDE OPEN SPACES.

IT'S OVER THERE IN THE WOODS.

WHEN YOU GO FROM ONE PARK TO THE OTHER, THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEMS ARE.

UH, JUST, WELL, THIS, THIS PROJECT, THE LOOP IS THE LIGHT OUTER LOOP AND THE NICE LOOP TRAIL OUT IN WILL BE LIGHTED AT JENKINS PARK.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT IN FUTURE YEARS OR EXPANSION OF THIS.

BUT THIS PROJECT IS THAT, SO I, I WANNA, I MEAN, KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON WHAT, WHAT MR. HOSS IS SAYING.

SO WHAT, WHERE'S THE NEAREST ELECTRICAL, UH, CAPABILITY TO, TO THE TRAIL? I MEAN, WE TALKED ABOUT SOLAR, BUT IF IT'S IN A SHADED AREA, SOLAR'S NOT GONNA BE, UH, PROBABLY AVAILABLE.

BUT, UM, WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A METER, UH, BOX AT, UH, UM, RACCOON DRIVE AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE PARK.

THE LIFT STATION ONE BEHIND THE BALL FIELDS AT JENKINS PARK IS WHERE OUR POWER IS.

SO LET ME ASK IT THIS WAY.

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE? CAN YOU GET US A RESPONSE OF WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO, TO ADD ADDITIONAL SECURITY LIGHTING IN THE MOST PROBABLY EXPECTED WHERE IT'S DARK? WE CAN GET YOUR ESTIMATE ON THAT.

WELL UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THE DARK.

WHEN WE SAY IN THE DARK, IT'S IN THE THICK OF THOSE WOODS.

NO, I UNDERSTAND.

YOU GO IN THERE AND NOBODY SEES YOU.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT MY POINT, WHAT, WHAT I'M SAYING IS I'VE HEARD IT FROM MULTIPLE CITIZENS, IS THAT THE, THE PLACE THAT THEY FEEL THE MOST INSECURE IS THE PLACE THAT WE ARE NOT CONSIDERING BRINGING ANY KIND OF LIGHTING.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.

SO TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, YOU PUT LIGHTING WHERE IT'S DARK, BUT THE CHA, AND I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, BUT THE, WOULDN'T IT, THE CHALLENGE COULD BE COST, SCOTT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GONNA RUN OVERHEAD DOWN THAT TRAIL.

WE WOULD HAVE TO DO UNDERGROUND ON THE ELECTRICAL, THE UNDERGROUND.

THERE'S NOTHING WE DO AS AN MDD THAT THERE'S NOT COST ASSOCIATED.

AND THAT WAS WASN'T MY QUESTION.

WELL, I DIDN'T, MY QUESTION WAS WHAT IT WOULD TAKE.

YEP.

WE, WE CAN COME UP.

WE DO THAT.

WE CAN, WE CAN FIND A NUMBER FOR THAT, BUT IT WILL NOT BE CHEAP.

BUT I UNDERSTAND.

BUT WE CAN COME UP WITH A NUMBER.

I MEAN, I'VE SEEN CENTERPOINT, YOU KNOW, THEY GO, THEY'RE ABLE TO BOARD MILES OF, OF, OF LINE FROM MAILBOX TO MAILBOX AND, AND THEY SEEM TO DO IT PRETTY EASY.

[00:20:01]

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ALL THE CHALLENGES.

I WANNA KNOW WHAT IT WOULD TAKE.

OKAY, SO THAT WAS MY POINT.

I MEAN, IT'S A GIVEN.

THERE'S A COST.

I MEAN, WE ALL KNOW THAT.

BUT IT, IT HAS TO FIT WITHIN THE REALM OF THIS BUDGET I GET.

SO THAT WAS THE IMP FOR MY COMMENT ABOUT IT WOULD MAYBE COST PROHIBITIVE.

IF IT IS, THAT'S FINE.

TELL ME WHAT THAT IS.

BUDGETS.

WELL, I THINK BOB'S QUESTION THOUGH, IF I SPEAK HITCHHIKE ON WHAT HE SAID, IT'S NOT THAT WE KNOW WE'RE SPENDING MONEY, BUT WHY ARE WE SPENDING IT OUT THERE ON THE OUTER LOOP? WHY AREN'T WE SPENDING THE SAME DOLLARS? HOW IS THE CHOICE MADE? DO THAT INSTEAD OF THIS.

YEAH, THAT'S THE POINT.

THINK THAT'S THE QUESTION.

THAT'S SO, I MEAN, MOST OF THE TIME, YOU KNOW, SAME THING WHEN WE DO WITH STREETS, RIGHT? WE ADDRESS THE WORST OF THE WORST.

EXACTLY.

SAME THING.

SO SHOULDN'T WE ADDRESS WHERE PEOPLE FEEL MORE INSECURE? SO ANYWAY, THAT I THINK I, I THINK IT'S CLEAR WHAT I'M EXPECTING.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD BE.

AND GUYS, THIS IS WHY WE HAVE THIS DISCUSSION.

UH, BECAUSE WE, WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE AND BRING IT TO YOU.

AND, AND I THINK EVERYBODY AGREES IN THE VIRTUE OF, UH, UH, INSTALLING THOSE LIGHTS.

BUT WE TOO, LIKE YOU, WE, WE WE'RE PRESENTED WITH A SET OF NUMBERS AND PROJECTIONS, AND THEN WE TRY TO GET THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK AND BRING IT TO YOU.

AND THEN YOU TELL US REALLY WHERE, WHERE YOU WANT THOSE, UH, DOLLARS SPENT AND WHAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH.

AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.

BUT I THINK AS THE MAYOR, UH, SET IS, STARTS WITH AN ESTIMATE, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? WHAT, WHAT IS THIS REALLY GONNA TAKE? WE'LL BRING THIS BACK TO YOU AND THEN WE CAN MAKE SOME DECISIONS FROM THERE.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, AND, AND THAT WE HAVE, IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.

YOU SEE MULTIPLE PHASES OF THINGS HERE.

SOMETIMES WE CAN'T BITE IT ALL AT ONE TIME.

WE, WE TAKE IT IN PHASES, BUT WE, WE CAN'T JUST AVOID THE PLACE THAT ACTUALLY NEEDS IT THE MOST.

SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

UH, MR. HOSKINS.

OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON.

ISN'T BOB ARMINO? YES.

I GOT A COMMENT.

YES, GO AHEAD.

GO AHEAD.

BECAUSE YOU SAID BOB, HE'S I KNOW, I KNOW WHAT I'M TELLING HIM.

I KNOW.

SO TWO THINGS I WOULD WANT BRING UP.

UM, THE ROSELAND PARK REBUILD.

IT'S NOT THERE.

IS THAT MONEY THE PAVILION? YES.

THAT'S IN THIS YEAR'S, UH, BUDGET.

SO IT, OKAY.

SO IT'S SET.

IT'S NOT, AND IT'S, YEAH, IT'S MOVING FORWARD.

AND WHEN WILL WE GET STARTED ON THAT DO YOU THINK? UH, WHAT WAS IT? OH, I HAVE ANDREA HERE.

IT'LL BE IN ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS.

THERE YOU GO.

UH, PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING.

ANDREA IS HANDLE IS, UH, HAD TO UP THAT PROJECT.

THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

UH, BUT IT'LL BE ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS BEFORE WE'RE READY TO START, TO START THE BID.

TO START THE BID, SO, OKAY.

SO IT'S ON TRACK ONLY.

RIGHT? CHRISTMAS WILL BE READY TO GO AFTER BIDS.

AND THEN THE SECOND THING I GOT, AND THIS, THIS IS ALMOST SOMEBODY MAY THINK THIS IS LAUGHABLE, BUT, UM, SO I SEE ON HERE DREDGING BAIN MARINE AND CHANNELS FOUR 60,000 MILLION THREE.

AND I KNOW THE BATTLESHIP TEXAS IS A REACH, I GOT ALL THAT.

BUT IF THEY'RE GOING TO FIND THE MONEY TO DREDGE, WHAT IS IT, A HUNDRED FOOT WIDE, A HUNDRED FOOT WIDE, 30 FEET DEEP FROM THE HOUSTON SHIP CHANNEL ALL THE WAY UP TO BAYLAND PARK, IF THAT SHOULD HAPPEN, AND EVERYBODY SEEMS TO AGREE WE HAVE A SHOT, BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THAT DREDGING MONEY'S COMING FROM, HOW DOES THAT TIE INTO THE MILLION THREE WE'RE GONNA SPEND? I MEAN, WHAT WOULD, IF WE, IF THAT WAS THERE AND PAID FOR BY SOMEONE ELSE HMM.

WHAT WOULD DREDGING LOOK LIKE ON THIS BUDGET IF THAT WAS THERE? AND WHY, WHY WOULD WE DO THIS UNTIL THAT GETS SETTLED? OKAY.

AND THAT'S A BIG CHUNK OF MONEY.

I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

WE ARE CURRENTLY, UH, WE ARE WORKING WITH FEMA ON, UH, THE DREDGING.

THIS IS, THIS IS A MAINTENANCE DREDGING FOR HURRICANE HARVEY.

UH, PROJECT PROBLEM.

UH, WE HAVE OPENED BIDS.

WE'VE ACTUALLY PAID THE PORT 400 SOMETHING THOUSAND DOLLARS ALREADY.

UH, AND, AND BY THE WAY, FEMA HAS REIMBURSED THAT 90%.

UH, AND, UH, THE DREDGING, Y'ALL WILL SEE THAT IN THE JULY 9TH, UH, AGENDA TO APPROVE A DREDGING CONTRACT TO GO OUT THERE AND DO THE SIX TO GO INTO MINUS SIX FOOT, UM, TO, UH, TO DREDGE AND THE, TO MAINTENANCE DREDGING OF THE MARINA.

THAT'S WHAT THESE FUNDS ARE FOR.

NOW.

WE SHOULD GET 90% BACK ON THE FUNDS FROM FEMA, BUT THAT'S NEVER GIVEN.

BUT, UH, ANYWAY, THIS PROJECT IS, IT'S UNDERWAY.

THIS IS WAY UNDERWAY.

WE WAS, THE DREDGING FOR THE SHIP WILL BE A MUCH BIGGER PROJECT.

OH, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND NOT PART OF THIS.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE DOING THIS.

WE, WE KEEP GOING 'CAUSE WE THINK WE ONLY PAY FOR 10% OF IT.

IS THAT IT IN A NUTSHELL? YES.

SOUNDS LIKE.

UP NORTH CAME AND SET AND SETTLED IN THE CHANNEL THERE AT, UH, AT THE MARINA.

SOUNDS LIKE.

AND IT, IT HAS TO BE DONE.

WE'RE GETTING BOATS STUCK IN THE CHANNEL.

WE'VE HAD SO MUCH SILT ON FROM, UH, HARVEY.

I THINK EVERYTHING FROM UM,

[00:25:01]

AND OF COURSE WE'RE MAKING A, A VERY LARGE INVESTMENT IN, IN THAT AREA WITH THE HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER AND WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THE MARINA PROVIDES AN AMENITY FOR THAT ESTABLISHMENT.

I DIDN'T, I JUST FROM A TIMING ASPECT, YOU GOTTA GOTTA WONDER IF THIS ACTUALLY WORKED, WHAT WOULD, WOULD THAT CHANGE? WE THOUGHT THE DREDGING WOULD BE DONE.

IT SUPPOSED TO BE DONE LONG TIME AGO.

BE DONE BY LAST FALL.

AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.

IT, IT'S BEEN DELAYED FOR A WHILE AND WE'VE JUST BEEN WAITING ON FEMA'S RESPONSE.

SO THAT WAS UNDERWAY BEFORE THE PROJECT BATTLESHIP.

THE DELAY IS, UH, FROM THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS.

THEY'RE CURRENTLY DREDGING THE SHIP CHANNEL FROM MORGAN'S POINT BACK TO THE EXXON, I BELIEVE.

UH, AND IT'S ALL GOING INTO THE SAME, UH, DISPOSAL SITE.

THE ONE RIGHT ACROSS FROM, UH, BAYLOR ISLAND THERE, LAPORTE, YOU SEE ONE OVER THE BRIDGE.

UH, AND THEY WILL NOT ALLOW BUT ONE DREDGING COMPANY AT ONE AT A TIME.

AND WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY'RE THROUGH AND THEY SHOULD BE THROUGH SOMETIME IN AUGUST.

WE HOPE IT KEEPS MOVING.

IT WAS APRIL AND THEN IT WAS JUNE AND THEN IT'S NOW IT'S AUGUST.

SO, YEP.

THANK YOU SCOTT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I'M GONNA ADD ONE.

CAN I ASK SCOTT ONE MORE QUESTION? I GUESS SO GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU.

UM, THE GOOSE CREEK TRAIL, PHASE SIX AND SEVEN, IS THAT THE DESIGN OF YES.

THE TRAIL UP THERE BY THE MALL TO, UH, BUSH ROAD OR? YES, IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN, UM, GOING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CENTER POINT, UH, TRANSMISSION CORRIDOR FROM BAKER ROAD TO SAN TEVY.

UH, WE PROBABLY WON'T DO THE NORTH SECTION.

WE'RE DOING TWO SECTIONS THERE.

ONE TO CEDAR BY LYNCHBURG AND THE NORTH SECTION TO, UH, FROM THERE TO SAN TEVY.

UH, HOPEFULLY THE COUNTY'S GONNA COME IN AND BUILD A NICE ROAD AND WE WILL HAVE, UH, PARTNER WITH THEM TO BUILD THE, A CONNECTING TRAIL OVER TO UH, UH, BUSH ROAD IN SAN JACINTO, ALONG THE NEW CENTER BY LYNCHBURG.

AND WE CAN DEAD THERE DEAD END THERE AND THEN TAKE IT OVER TO THE TRAIL AND HAVE A NICE WAY TO GET UP NORTH SO IT FITS AND DESIGN.

NOW THIS 75 IS TO CONSTRUCT IT? NO, IT'S JUST DESIGN.

OH, OKAY.

IT'S NOT IN DESIGN YET.

THIS IS TO DESIGN IT? NO, IT'S UNDER DESIGN RIGHT NOW.

BUSH HU HUTCHINSON ASSOCIATES IS, IS DESIGNING IT NOW.

AND ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE DOING THE SURVEY AND THEY HAVE TO GET, THERE'S A LOT OF PERMITS, PIPELINES AND ALL THAT TO GET UNDER AND, AND THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF THAT AS WE SPEAK.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE WE'LL BE ABLE TO BUILD THAT FIRST SECTION AND I THINK WE'LL JUST BUILD THE, THE SECTION OF THE PHASE SEVEN.

I THINK WE HAD THE WRONG ON THE PLAN, BUT IT'S THE PHASE SEVEN.

WE'LL GO FROM BAKER ROAD TO CEDAR BY LYNCHBURG.

ACTUALLY, NICK AND I JUST TALKED ABOUT IT A FEW MINUTES AGO.

WHEN WE, WHEN WE DO THAT CONSTRUCTION, SCOTT, IS IT STILL, DON'T THEY USE A FEDERAL MATCH? THEY USED TO BE A FEDERAL MATCH WHEN WE DID THE, THE PREVIOUS PHASES? NO, THIS NOT ANYMORE.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE, BECAUSE WE HAD TO BUILD IT TO THEIR SPEC AT THE TIME.

WHERE YOU COULD DRIVE, PRETTY MUCH DRIVE A TANK OVER IT.

SO WE WOULD NEED, WE WOULD NEED MORE MONEY TO FINISH IT THAN IF WE GOT THEIR MATCH.

WELL, THE REASON WHY I MENTIONED IT, IT'S A, IT'S A GOOD PROJECT.

IF, IF THERE IS A CALL FOR SHOVEL-READY PROJECTS, THIS WOULD BE AN EASY ONE TO LET.

ALRIGHT, HEATHER, YOU, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH JUST CONSIDER THE 75 AS SEED MONEY FOR THE FUTURE CONSTRUCTION.

IT WON'T BE SPENT NEXT YEAR.

IT'LL, IT'LL JUST SIT THERE.

THANKS NICK.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE FOR MR. JOHNSON.

HE MAY LIKE IT, HE MAY LIKE IT, HE MAY NOT.

BUT I'LL, I'LL GO AHEAD.

I'M GONNA THROW IT OUT THERE.

SO IF I READ THIS RIGHT IN, IN THIS NEXT BUDGET, UM, IT STILL LOOKS LIKE IN THE, UH, UNFORESEEN NEW INITIATIVES THERE'S 695,000 THAT IS STILL UN UNALLOCATED OTHER THAN UNFORESEEN.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

AND, AND WE'RE WE'RE ASKING FOR AN ESTIMATE ON LIGHTING FOR HOLLY PARK.

UM, I, I STILL WOULD LIKE TO, AND I KNOW IT'S A BIG NUMBER, I AM INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO ASTROTURF THE FIELDS AT, UH, SPORTS COMPLEX.

I KNOW IT'S A BIG NUMBER AND MARY, THE, THE REASON THAT NUMBER'S BIG IS BECAUSE OF THE UNKNOWN THAT WE WERE FACING IN THE COMING YEAR.

THAT'S NOT REAL MONEY.

THAT'S, THAT'S, UM, THE BUDGET OF COURSE IS AUTHORIZATION TO SPEND UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND I, I JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, CAUTION THE BOARD.

UH, THERE ARE SO MANY UNKNOWNS AND WE'RE SEEING CITIES FACE SOME, SOME PRETTY, UH, SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES.

NOT, THAT IS THE UNFORESEEN, I UNDERSTAND THAT IS THE BUFFER.

SO, SO, UH, WITH THAT, I KNOW IT'S A BIG NUMBER.

I MEAN, I'VE HEARD SOME ESTIMATES, I'D LIKE TO KIND OF GET A, AN ESTIMATE.

UM, THE NUMBERS THAT WE'RE SEEING HERE, THESE WERE ADJUSTED NUMBERS.

IS THAT CORRECT? FROM FINANCE THAT THE NUMBERS, THE NUMBERS ON REVENUE IS ADJUSTED NUMBERS ON EXPECTATIONS? YES SIR.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MA'AM.

BUT THE 6 95 IS, THAT'S

[00:30:01]

I UNDERSTAND THAT'S AN CONTINGENCY.

THAT'S CORRECT.

IT SAYS UNFORESEEN INITIATIVES AND IF YOU GIVE YOU, IF I MAKE YOU SEE AN INITIATIVE, THEN I GUESS IT'S NOT UNFORESEEN ANYMORE.

SO I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT A NUMBER IS.

IF IT'S, WE DO ONE FIELD A YEAR, WE DO ONE FIELD A YEAR.

BUT I THINK WE COULD REALLY, UH, IT'D BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR OUR SPORTS COMPLEX TO MOVE TOWARD, UH, ARTIFICIAL TURF.

UH, WE WON'T HAVE TO GO AND CANCEL, CANCEL TOURNAMENTS THAT PEOPLE PLAN ON.

WE HAVE, UH, MULTIPLE TEAMS, MULTIPLE FAMILIES THAT TRAVEL HERE TO BAYTOWN TO OUR HOTELS, UH, IN MOTELS.

AND SO, UM, I THINK WE ARE NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR DESTINATION OF, OF PROVIDING, UH, ADDITIONAL ATHLETIC FACILITIES.

UH, SPORTS COMPLEX BEING ONE.

NUMBER TWO WOULD PROBABLY BE SOME TYPE OF MULTI, UH, PURPOSE VENUE FOR ADDITIONAL SPORTS, UH, HERE IN PRETTY MUCH EAST TEXAS, IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS.

I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'D LIKE TO VISIT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW MAY NOT WARRANT THAT TODAY, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO START PLANTING THE SEED OF LOOKING AT THOSE TYPE OF INITIATIVES.

I THINK SCOTT HAS LOOKING PRETTY EXTENSIVELY AT THAT GOOD NUMBER.

WE'LL HAVE THAT NUMBER IS, WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION TODAY, BUT WE WILL HAVE THAT CONVERSATION SOON.

THAT NUMBER IS 1.6 MILLION FOR ALL THE FIELDS.

AND WHAT ONE FIELD? WHATEVER QUARTER THAT IS.

WHATEVER QUARTER.

400,000.

AND THAT'S JUST MORE OF THE INFIELD THAN IT IS THOUGH.

IT'S NOT THE WHOLE, THAT'S JUST THE INFIELD, SO, ALRIGHT.

YOU TELL YEAH, WE DO HAVE A DIFFERENT STRATEGY.

WE ARE LOOKING AT, SO THERE IS SOME CITIES HAVE A SPECIFIC CARVE OUT WITHIN THE STATE LEGISLATION, STATE LAW FOR HOT FUNDS TO GO TOWARDS THIS TYPE OF EXPENDITURE.

INTERESTING.

WE ARE NOT IN THAT CARVE OUT RIGHT NOW.

AH, WE HAVE PLANS TO REQUEST THAT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE WORK TO DO IN THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT GIVES US SOME MORE FLEXIBILITY.

SO WE'RE NOT JUST LOOKING AT MDD FUNDS, WE COULD POTENTIALLY LOOK AT HOT FUNDS ASSUMING THERE WAS FUNDING AVAILABLE.

WELL, AND AND YOU DO HAVE TO REPLACE THAT EVERY 10 YEARS.

I UNDERSTAND.

SO, BUT BAYTOWN, YOU KNOW, WE, WE WERE, WELL WE ACTUALLY, WE WERE PRETTY, PRETTY WELL LOCATED.

WE'RE, UH, NEAR, UH, A MAJOR INTERSTATE AND THERE'S A LOT OF, UH, SOFTBALL, BASEBALL AND MULTIPLE SPORTS THAT, THAT I THINK WE CAN REALLY ATTRACT AND, AND UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK, UH, WITHOUT YOU LOOK AT THE BEAUMONT MARKET THAT, THAT ARE, THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH THEIR FIELDS ARE PACKED.

LEAGUE CITY, THEIR FIELDS ARE PACKED.

I THINK WE'RE IN BETWEEN, I THINK WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER.

AND SO I'D LIKE US TO ENTERTAIN THAT IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE THE ENERGY FOR IT, SCOTT , WE HAVE, UH, BETWEEN WASTE, THE, UH, WE COULD, WE COULD HAVE TOURNAMENTS ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND OF THE YEAR UP THERE.

UH, LAUREN, UH, WOULD BE SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE FIELDS UP THERE.

MORE THINGS.

WELL, I, I THINK TOO, UM, WITH THAT, WITHOUT LOOKING AT JUST THE EXPENDITURE, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE REVENUE THAT IS GENERATED BY DOING IT.

BECAUSE WHEN WE CONTINUE TO GO AND, AND HAVE TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY, AND NUMBER TWO, WHEN WE HAVE TO CANCEL TOURNAMENTS, SO WE'RE LOSING REVENUE.

SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

AM I GONNA SAY IT'S GONNA PAY FOR ITSELF? MAYBE NOT, BUT I, I THINK THERE'S SOME, WE NEED TO FACTOR IN ACTUALLY SOME REVENUE STREAM TO OFFSET THAT.
