ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? UH, I, YES.
ON F WHAT WAS DECIDED ON THE LIGHTING? DID, WE HAD A DEAL WE COULD GO UNDER OR OVER AND UNDER WAS CHEAPER AND I WAS, I BELIEVE I WAS IN FAVOR OF UNDER WHAT? UM, DID WE EVER FIGURE THAT OUT? UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL VERSUS OVERHEAD? SOLAR.
AND I THINK THEY WENT WITH SOLAR, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
WHICH WAY? GO SEE IT'S A SOLAR.
I THINK WE HAVE 20 FIXTURES THAT WILL COME FROM, UM, UH, HOLLOWAY PARK.
UH, AND IT WILL GO THROUGH, UH, THE WOODS AND, UH, LIGHT.
WE'RE JUST GONNA LIGHT THE, UH, LEMME PUT IT UP.
THE INTERIOR, THE CLOSEST ROUTE TO JENKINS PARK.
WE'RE NOT GONNA GO THROUGH ALL THE WOODS, UH, JUST, UH, FROM HOLLOWAY PARK AROUND TO THE WOODEN BRIDGE.
AND THEN IT WILL HIT THE, UH, OTHER LIGHTED PARKS IN JENKINS PARK.
SO WE MUST HAVE SOME REALLY TALL POLES AND STUFF.
'CAUSE THAT CANOPY IS TIED ON THE TRAILS.
AND THAT MUST BE UP, OR ELSE YOU ONLY GET SOLAR FROM LIKE 11 TO ONE OR SOMETHING.
THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT SOLAR.
I THOUGHT Y'ALL SAID THEY WERE SOLAR, THAT'S WHY.
THERE THE LIGHTS ALONG THE, IN THROUGH THE WOODS ARE, ARE LED? YEAH, THOSE ARE SOLAR RIGHT.
LIGHTS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE, UH, AT THE DOG PARK IN A COUPLE OF OTHER PLACES.
UH, BUT, UH, UH, BAYTOWN ELECTRIC WILL INSTALL THOSE, UH, THROUGH THE WOODS.
AND ONCE WE GET THROUGH THE WOODS, WE'RE GONNA START WITH OUR SOLAR LOOP TRAIL ON OUR PERFECT TRAIL TO GO.
SO NOW LIKE THAT, THAT MAKES SENSE.
AND AROUND Y Y'ALL WENT THROUGH THE SHORTER PATH, RIGHT? MM-HMM
YES, WE WENT THE SHORTER PATH.
WE DIDN'T DO THE WHOLE THING, BUT I MEAN, WE JUST DID IT.
WE GOT FROM CHIN, FROM HALLWAY PARK TO JENKINS PARK.
SO WE WOULD'VE THE, WE WOULD'VE THE ABILITY TO ELONGATE SOME OF THESE, MAYBE THE FUTURE IF WE WANTED TO.
A LONG TIME NOW IN THE FUTURE TO EXPAND UP ON YEAH.
DID WE PUT THIS OUT TO BID? DID WE, DID WE PUT IT OUT TO BID? UH, NO.
WE'LL USE OUR, UH, BAYTOWN ELECTRIC CITY CONTRACTOR.
SO THE, THE REASON I, THEY'VE DONE US AN EXCELLENT JOB.
I MEAN, I'VE USED THEM SEVERAL TIMES.
THE MOST EXPENSIVE CON ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR, THIS SIDE OF THE SAN RIVER AS FAR AS I KNOW.
BUT, UH, UM, THAT'S THE MOST EXPEDITIOUS WAY TO DO IT.
THAT'S THE, UM, THE BEST ROUTE, UH, WITH TAXPAYER DOLLAR.
ARE WE, LET ME ASK YOU, ARE WE BUYING THE, UM, ARE WE BUYING THE EQUIPMENT OR THE, THE LIGHTS OURSELVES.
AND THEN DOES HAVING A CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR PROOF? I'M SURE THE CONTRACTOR WILL, WILL PROVIDE ALL OF THE FIXTURES, THOSE CONCRETE.
I I, I WOULD ASSUME WE'RE PUTTING IN CONCRETE POLES THROUGH THERE.
UH, AND THEY WILL NOT BE REALLY TALL.
THEY DON'T NEED 'EM TALL THROUGH THE WOODS BECAUSE THAT TRAIL, I WOULD ASSUME 30 FOOTS PROBABLY THE MAX, PROBABLY LESS THAN THAT ACTUALLY.
SO IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THE PARK HOURS? ARE WE GONNA TWEAK THAT?
[00:05:01]
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LIT UP NOW.CAN YOU OPEN IT'S UNTIL 10 KEEP OPEN.
YOU'RE GONNA KEEP IT OPEN ANY LATER OR WHAT WILL WE DO? YOU DON'T NEED PEOPLE OFF THERE ABOUT 10, BUT WHILE THEY'RE, BUT LIKE IN THE FALL WHEN, WHEN, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT GETS DARK AT SIX, I, I WOULD RECOMMEND KEEP THE LIGHTS AND WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA TURN THESE OFF AT NIGHT BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT BUTTS UP TO THIS.
LIGHT THE, UH, WE WILL BE BACK.
WE WILL GET A LOT OF GRIEF FROM OUR, UH, RESIDENTS THAT BACK UP TO THE FENCES, TO THE TRAIL THERE.
SCOTT, WHEN DO YOU, UH, PLAN TO START AF AFTER THIS IS APPROVED? WHEN CAN Y'ALL START ON THIS? UH, THE FUNDING WILL BE AVAILABLE OCTOBER 1ST, BUT NORMALLY IT'S ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER BEFORE WE CAN START GETTING PURCHASE ORDERS.
UH, SO WE'LL START WORKING WITH OUR CONTRACTORS ON GETTING ALL OF THE DETAILS AND EVERYTHING ROLLING.
BUT I WOULD, I WOULD ASSUME THAT MORE THAN LIKELY THIS WILL BE A NOVEMBER, UH, DECEMBER PROJECT.
MAYBE, MAYBE SOONER, MAYBE A LITTLE LATER.
BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET IT BEFORE THE END OF WINTER.
WELL, I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW AWESOME THIS LOOKS AND THANK EVERYBODY INVOLVED, UH, FOR GETTING US TO THIS POINT, ESPECIALLY ADMINISTRATION FOR HEARING US LOUD AND CLEAR AT THE RETREAT AND, AND GETTING US HERE IN, IN NINE MONTHS.
AND THEN SCOTT, YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE HAVE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB OF, OF TAKING BITS OF VISION AND INFORMATION AND ACTUALLY PUTTING IT TO A USEFUL AND COMPREHENSIVE, UM, DETAILED PLAN.
AND I'M, I'M REALLY IMPRESSED AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE REALLY GONNA LIKE THIS.
NO, CORNELL DOING A GREAT JOB PUTTING ALL THIS TOGETHER.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR THE CONSENT AGENDA.
JUST, IT'S GOOD TO SEE THESE ITEMS. THESE ARE ALL REALLY GOOD QUALITY LIFE ISSUES.
UH, IF IT'S PARKED AND TRAILS AND, AND THE, THE, YOU KNOW, THE SPORTS LEAGUE FACILITIES, THE, UH, THE COVERED, THE, UH, THE COVERED BASKETBALL COURTS, YOU KNOW, SO THIS IS, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF, OF WHEN, UM, WHEN WE ALL WORK TOGETHER AND EXPRESS THINGS THAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS, UM, AND THEN ABLE TO ENACT THEM.
I THINK IT'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
SO, UH, WITH THAT, UH, ENTERTAIN, EXCUSE ME, UM, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED, IF THEY SAY AYE, AYE.
[4. MANAGER'S REPORT]
AYE, YES.I, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT I WILL REMIND YOU, UH, THAT YOUR ARE NEXT MEETING.
IT, UH, REALLY SMALL ON MY SCREEN AND MY GLASSES DON'T WORK THAT, BUT WHATEVER IT SAYS, THAT'S WHEN OUR NEXT MEETING IS OCTOBER 1ST.
I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND IT IS EXCITING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.
AND IT'S FINALLY, UH, GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SAY THE WORDS HYATT REGENCY.
I JUST SAY WHAT NOW? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO SECRETIVE ABOUT IT.
SO IS IT GOING I HAD TO TRAIN MYSELF TO SAY HOTEL OPERATOR FOR SO LONG.
OR THE FLAG PRESS RELEASE AND OR SOMETHING.
HOW IS THAT WHERE WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT? WE'LL, WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT.
GENERALLY WE LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE LIKE THE CORPORATIONS TO TAKE, TAKE THE LEAD ON THAT AND, YEP.
SO BE THAT, UH, OUR MDD HAS ADDRESSED ALL POSTED AGENDA ITEMS. THIS MEETING IS ALSO NOW ADJOURNED.
