00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.480
[SIDE CONVERSATION]

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:31.109
At noon, I want to call to order this Tuesday, June 2, 2015

00:00:31.109 --> 00:00:35.159
,

00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.039
meeting of the Denton City Council.

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.759
This is our work session starting at 2 o' 2 p.m.

00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:42.719
Our first item on the agenda is citizen comments

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.439
on consent agenda items.

00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:46.479
Do we have any citizen comment on consent agenda items?

00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:47.479
No cards.

00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:48.399
Seeing none, OK.

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.280
We'll move on to agenda item number two, which

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.960
is request for clarification of agenda items listed

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:59.359
on the agenda for June 2, 2015.

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.240
Any clarifications on any agenda items?

00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.319
OK, seeing none, we'll move on.

00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.980
Work session three, 3A, is receive an update from the Dent

00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:10.719
on--

00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.239
let me start over-- receive an update from the Denton Parks

00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:17.400
Foundation regarding the Eureka 2 playground.

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:18.159
Thank you, Mayor.

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.079
I'm going to ask Mr. Emerson Vohle, our director of parks

00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.640
and recreation, if he would introduce this topic

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.319
and make comments as appropriate.

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.519
Thank you, Mr. Vohle.

00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.200
I'm actually going to make minimal comments today.

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.040
I'm going to get up here and introduce

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.959
Molly Tampke, the executive director of our Parks

00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:39.799
Foundation.

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.760
They're the folks who are charged with raising the funding

00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.120
to complete this project.

00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.560
Molly, if you'd come up and--

00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.799
Well, thank you for having me.

00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.840
And things are really going well,

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.920
I have to tell you, for Eureka.

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.639
We go and go and don't stop.

00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.840
And it's really pretty fun.

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.550
So let me give you updates on kind of three different areas

00:02:14.550 --> 00:02:14.719
,

00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.039
the areas that are most-- well, two different areas that

00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.199
are most active right now.

00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.280
The first is our marketing efforts.

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.699
And we are receiving wonderful guidance

00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:27.599
from the parks and recreation communications and marketing

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:28.479
staff.

00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.879
In addition, we have some very talented volunteers

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.280
helping us to get out on all the social media.

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.039
We have two Facebook sites, with our Denton Parks

00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:36.759
Foundation

00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.280
and our Eureka 2 volunteers.

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.120
And you'll want to get on both of those

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.680
and stay glued to them, because we've

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.120
got lots of information coming out on those.

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.879
We have two websites, the DentonParksFoundation.com

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.439
and Eureka2Denton.com.

00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.919
And again, those are being updated constantly,

00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.000
so you'll probably want to catch up on that.

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.080
We have a Twitter feed, DentonParksFDN.

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.560
We have Instagram, DentonEureka2.

00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:04.599
We also have a brochure.

00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.830
And I wanted to note that the brochures that our

00:03:07.830 --> 00:03:09.319
communications

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.599
folks have designed for us have gotten two national awards,

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.199
for a logo and for the brochure itself.

00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:17.740
And these are very prestigious awards,

00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:19.759
and I feel very lucky to work with people

00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.479
who win these kinds of things.

00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.439
And then the next thing you'll probably see

00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:26.120
is on your water bill.

00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:27.960
We will have a statement in there,

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.919
or a line in there directing you to our website.

00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.479
So hopefully all our water bill customers will give to us.

00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.699
But it's another way to hit a lot of households

00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:38.280
pretty quickly.

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.000
Now the really interesting stuff is the fundraising.

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.719
At this point, we are having so many events.

00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.599
The next one is at both Beth Marie's locations.

00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.680
This Thursday is the last day of school,

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.240
and they will donate some of their proceeds that day to us.

00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.520
We have had events at Oak Street Drafthouse.

00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.039
We are having one at Haley's.

00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.599
We're having one at Harvest House, Oak Street.

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.199
And I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:06.780
But we've got lots of folks coming to us

00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:08.159
and saying, can we do something?

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.039
We had somebody who wanted to do a Taekwondo fundraiser.

00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.000
So we're having a lot of variety in the people

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.360
who want to support us.

00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:15.879
And they're doing very well, actually.

00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.079
It's quite nice.

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.000
We are approaching, of course, local businesses.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.279
We have a local volunteer who will talk

00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.519
to all the different businesses, write letters,

00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.519
and that sort of thing to get support.

00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.000
We're working with the schools.

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.040
And at the end of this past school year--

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.579
well, I guess it's still this school year--

00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:36.959
we had a pennies war where we put a big orange Home Depot

00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.360
bucket out at each of the elementary schools.

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.720
And the children were encouraged to put as much change or

00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:44.040
folding

00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:45.639
money as they could.

00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.519
And then we would judge who was the winning school.

00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:49.800
And the winning school--

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.259
I better not say it, because I'm not going to remember.

00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:53.160
I'm going to talk.

00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.000
But don't quote me on that, because it was very close.

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.839
And what's funny is, even after it was over,

00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.800
I had a couple of kids come up to me

00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.959
with little baggies full of pennies and say,

00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.279
I forgot to put mine in.

00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:05.240
So can you count it?

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.560
And so we would count it and put it in the right place.

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.160
So they really got into this.

00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.160
And we'll do this again at the beginning of the fall,

00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:12.199
because at that point, then, we'll

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.959
be lots closer, of course, to the build.

00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.160
And we think we'll have a lot of excitement then.

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:17.040
So that's funny.

00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.920
We're going to have some big prizes at that point.

00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.800
The next exciting thing that I'm particularly curious about

00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.959
and kind of well excited about is an online campaign

00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:29.360
through GoFundMe.

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.240
I don't know if we all are familiar with that.

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.519
That seems to be kind of the hot thing in online giving

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:34.560
these days.

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.079
And we are getting the word out in every piece of social

00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:37.360
media

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:38.279
we can.

00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.040
We've sent out flyers to the schools.

00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.800
We've sent out flyers around town.

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.120
I know I was on my Facebook just today pushing that out

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.839
and asking lots of friends to post that.

00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.519
We really don't know what will happen.

00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.439
You hear of people raising hundreds of thousands of dollars

00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.300
to buy, have a wedding, or get somebody out of the hospital

00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:55.560
.

00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.199
We have no idea what will happen to us.

00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.319
But I feel like it's going to be really good.

00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:00.959
And we'll start at June 4.

00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.199
Though if you wanted to do it today, you could.

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.360
June 4, it'll end June 30.

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.199
So we're also having, right now, a really good major gifts

00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:11.160
campaign.

00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.360
And I'm calling major gift anybody

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.360
who could give five figures or more, including six figures.

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.120
We will take those, too.

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.360
And we are having some luck on that.

00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.399
As you know, the senior center gave us

00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.920
a gift of $16,900 about two weeks ago.

00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:32.199
And that is designated for an accessible merry-go-round,

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.959
which will be really nice, of course, for the children.

00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.680
And then this year-- excuse me-- this week,

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.639
we will confirm $110,000 in gifts

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.199
that we'll be able to make public by the end of the week.

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.079
So that'll bring us to about $122,000

00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:51.120
so far, which is about 24% of our goal.

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.399
To kind of stay on track, I would

00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:58.319
like, by the end of the summer, to be at $375,000.

00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.680
I think it's possible.

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.879
In fact, I think we'll do it with the kind of enthusiasm

00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.439
we're seeing right now.

00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.350
According to the folks at our playground consulting company

00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:07.519
,

00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.759
they're telling us that when you get into the pre-build,

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:09.920
which

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.000
is kind of like the two months before you actually build,

00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.519
you could expect about 25% of your gifts at that point.

00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.439
So again, I think we're on track to hit all that.

00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.019
But there is a special opportunity,

00:07:22.019 --> 00:07:24.040
and that's why I have my little backhoe.

00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:25.920
And if you'll note in your packet,

00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.769
for a gift of only $10,000, you can spend time in this back

00:07:29.769 --> 00:07:29.920
--

00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.759
no, well, it's not this one-- but a larger backhoe.

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.560
And you can be the first person to hit your Ica-1

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:37.800
and bring it down.

00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.759
And for only $500 more, you can choose your spot.

00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.079
You can choose exactly what you want to take down first.

00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:45.279
So think about it.

00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:50.800
And then for $7500, you get the second hit.

00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.800
And for $5,000, you get the third hit.

00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.240
And then after that, we'll probably

00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.759
auction off other things.

00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.040
So we think that'll be a lot of fun.

00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.470
So there's only one person who gets to take the first swipe

00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:01.720
.

00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.560
You, Dalton?

00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.000
Sorry, I'm sorry, Councilmember.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.720
I need to get another question answered first.

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.600
Do we get to choose who's on that spot

00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.680
when we take the swipe?

00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.360
For another $1,000, yes.

00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:18.040
Yes, so anyway, that's kind of a fun opportunity.

00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:19.920
We are also seeking sponsorships

00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.120
for particular pieces of equipment.

00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.439
And again, if you'll note in your back packet

00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.519
what those different pieces of equipment are

00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.360
and the cost of each of those.

00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.680
And just as a sideline, side note,

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.159
those costs were given to us by Play-By-Design, our

00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:35.519
playground

00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.320
consultant.

00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.799
Probably the highest price thing in there is a double zip

00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:40.159
line.

00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:41.279
And that's really fun.

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.080
We knew from the very beginning that we were

00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:44.120
going to have a zip line.

00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.200
It's 80 feet long.

00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:47.879
But a lot of the parents said, you know,

00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:51.320
but we want every child, no matter what their abilities,

00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:52.759
to be able to be on a zip line.

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.879
And so we talked to Play-By-Design,

00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.440
and they're like, I'm just not sure

00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:57.879
you can have one of those.

00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.039
Well, about two or three weeks ago, they came through

00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.480
and they said, we found one.

00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:02.600
It's in Australia.

00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.840
So we were going to get a double zip line from Australia.

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.240
One side will be just the handlebars, you know you do.

00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:10.679
And the other one will have a seat,

00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:12.960
so that even if you have mobility issues,

00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.200
you can sit on that and go on the zip line.

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.200
So we're pretty excited about that.

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.600
On the different play components that you're seeing there,

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.279
we will attach donors' names to those.

00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.960
And we've already sold out of benches.

00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.360
So you'll have to get a table or something

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.960
if that's your interest.

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.559
We'll have tables, benches, and handprint tiles.

00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.080
And there's already some of those out

00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:38.000
at the current Eureka.

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.039
You probably remember, and we'll do those again.

00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.519
Probably our biggest-- the thing that will involve the most

00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:46.279
people giving is our picket campaign.

00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.000
And I did not bring my picket, unfortunately.

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.679
But some of you have seen those.

00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.799
And what we'll do is have kind of a local celebrities

00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:55.480
campaign.

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.039
We'll ask-- I hope I'm not speaking at a school

00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:00.759
that the mayor will be asked to--

00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.039
and Councilman Hawkins will be asked to show their picket.

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.279
And we'll do some DTV video of them.

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.279
We're also having-- and I think Glenn Farris,

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.320
who's a member of our foundation board, the Parks

00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:11.440
Foundation

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:12.840
Board, will be there.

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:17.039
We've also got the UNT president and the TWU chancellor,

00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:18.480
who will also participate.

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.960
And we'll get their name out there

00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.080
so we can really get people thinking about it

00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.960
and get familiar faces with that.

00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.799
There are 1,500 pickets around the whole park.

00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.399
At $50 each, that's $75,000.

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.360
And the pickets, even before we were very public

00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.440
about this whole thing, people were calling us about,

00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.200
can I buy a picket?

00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.240
Can I have the picket from the last time?

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:40.960
The answer is yes.

00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.759
So those are very, very popular.

00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:45.679
We'll also be doing some general solicitation

00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:47.399
to individuals and to businesses.

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.000
And those will happen over the course of the summer.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.799
So that's where we are right now.

00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.200
And we will be talking with our Play-By-Design colleagues

00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:59.320
tomorrow to start talking about the timing of building

00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.879
their visits, their pre-site visits, site clearing,

00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.399
and all that sort of thing.

00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.279
So it's really fun.

00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.840
We've got about 160 days till we start building on November

00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.639
9.

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.080
Anything else, questions I can answer?

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:15.000
Any questions?

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.389
One question I have, on the list of the playground

00:11:17.389 --> 00:11:18.080
equipment,

00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.919
is that all inclusive or are there other--

00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.240
I mean, is that what is needed out there

00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:26.080
once it gets fully built out as far as the equipment?

00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:26.720
Yes.

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:27.220
Yes.

00:11:27.220 --> 00:11:28.320
Great.

00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.279
Fantastic.

00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:32.480
Any questions?

00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:33.720
I'm going to take my back up.

00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:34.840
Thank you so much.

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:35.799
Thank you for that update.

00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:36.799
Thank you.

00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.509
And just for the benefit of some of our new council members

00:11:40.509 --> 00:11:40.840
,

00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.399
Molly's position, the Parks and Recreation Department,

00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.360
came to the council two years ago

00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:51.480
and asked for funding for a halftime position for the Park

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.159
Foundation.

00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.799
In exchange for that, or as a result of that,

00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.470
the Park Foundation took on the responsibility of

00:11:59.470 --> 00:12:00.559
fundraising

00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.879
for the replacement of the Eureka playground.

00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.559
That's a half million dollar project that did not

00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.679
have to be included on the CIP.

00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.440
So that was one of the first ones to come off the CIP list.

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.519
So that's how we've come about this.

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.600
And obviously, it's been a very, very successful

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:19.240
relationship

00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:20.159
so far.

00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.240
We look forward to continuing it.

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:23.600
Molly, help me with dates.

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.320
The demolition date is--

00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.279
We want a decommissioning ceremony.

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.039
Yeah, if you wouldn't mind just coming up.

00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:29.879
Yes, I'm sorry.

00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.480
No, we will have a decommissioning ceremony

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.960
for Eureka 1 on October 10.

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.759
And at that point, we will honor the folks

00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.720
who built the first one, because we wouldn't

00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.000
be doing a second one if it hadn't been for all the folks

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.279
who volunteered out there the first time.

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.720
And then that will probably be the date that we do the back

00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:47.360
hoe.

00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.440
Then we will spend about three or four weeks

00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.960
preparing the site, doing soil testing,

00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.519
just making sure everything's ready for the next build.

00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.759
Then on November 9, we'll have hundreds of volunteers

00:12:58.759 --> 00:12:59.080
gather,

00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.440
and we'll build from the 9th through the 14th.

00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.159
That's a Monday through a Saturday.

00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.399
And luckily, it includes Veterans Day,

00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.519
so a lot of people will probably be able to join us

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.879
for a holiday then.

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.240
And then after that, it probably still

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.399
won't be completely ready.

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.179
I imagine our parks folks want to do a little bit of

00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:15.679
finishing

00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:17.759
off just to make sure everything's in place.

00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:21.080
But hopefully by Thanksgiving, we can be playing on that.

00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.440
Wow, fantastic.

00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:24.919
Fantastic.

00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.500
All right, thank you very much.

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:30.360
We'll go on to our next agenda item, which is 3B,

00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.399
receive a report and hold a discussion, give staff

00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:32.740
direction

00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:36.120
regarding city council committee nominations.

00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:36.759
Thank you, Mayor.

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.879
I think our city secretary, Ms. Walters,

00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.720
is going to open this discussion for council's

00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:43.440
consideration

00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:44.759
on your committee assignments.

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:51.360
Mayor and council, in your packets,

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.480
you had your current council assignments.

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.789
And this is about the time when you look at your

00:13:56.789 --> 00:13:57.440
assignments

00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:01.039
and decide if you want to make any changes to them.

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.000
I think it would be easiest if I went board by board,

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.840
or committee by committee, and see

00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.519
if there's any changes that you'd like to make on those.

00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.000
As far as the agenda committee goes,

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.240
the ordinance mandates that the mayor and mayor pro tem

00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:19.559
are members of that committee.

00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:23.159
So those two, Mayor Watson, Mayor pro tem Gregory,

00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:25.919
are set for that spot.

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.879
On the airport committee, the current members

00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.039
are Council Member Hawkins and Council Member Johnson.

00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:38.129
There is a vacancy created by former Mayor pro tem Engelbre

00:14:38.129 --> 00:14:38.480
cht.

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:43.259
And Council Member Wasney has expressed an interest in that

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:43.679
.

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.639
I believe in my absence last week,

00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.039
Jane sent out an email to all of you

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:53.480
asking if you had any interests or changes

00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:54.519
that you wanted to make.

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.600
And she received two responses.

00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.559
So I won't say which two.

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.960
So there is a vacancy there on the airport committee,

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.320
council committee.

00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.519
Yes, ma'am.

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.679
Because I've never done this before,

00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.120
because I offered to be on there.

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.480
Is this when I come forward and say,

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.519
I would like to be on that committee?

00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.720
OK, so I'd like to be on that committee.

00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:28.480
OK.

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.480
You know, we thought it was a great idea

00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:36.399
to have the council member from district three

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.799
on that committee, because the airport's in that area.

00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.600
So I think that's a great idea.

00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:43.440
Great.

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.120
Audit finance committee.

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.480
Current members are Council Member Hawkins and Mayor Watts.

00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:53.000
There is a vacancy left by former Council Member Ryan.

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.080
No one has expressed an interest other than--

00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:57.320
It's all about the money, folks.

00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:58.240
I'm just kidding.

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.679
I have a couple that I want to add,

00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:08.480
and a couple that I'd be willing to give up,

00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.399
kind of depending upon what other people want.

00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.519
So I mean, I don't know how we want to do this.

00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.279
We can put you in there tentatively and then--

00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:16.720
I mean, I would certainly do that.

00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:21.080
But I also don't want to be on too many.

00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:21.840
Sure, no.

00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.320
I understand that.

00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.039
Yeah, well, we'll just put an asterisk by it for now.

00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:25.919
OK?

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.679
Committee on Citizen Engagement.

00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.720
Currently, Mayor Pro Tem Gregory and Council Member

00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.440
Roden are members.

00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:36.399
There is a vacancy created by former Council Member Ryan,

00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.320
and Council Member Briggs has expressed an interest.

00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:45.799
Committee on the Environment.

00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.399
Currently, Mayor Pro Tem Gregory and Council Member Hawkins

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:51.799
are serving on that committee.

00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:54.879
There's a vacancy by former Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht,

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:58.080
and Council Member Briggs has expressed an interest.

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:04.640
The CAPER Committee.

00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.799
Currently, Mayor Pro Tem Gregory and Mayor Watts

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:09.960
serve on that committee.

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:14.119
There's a vacancy from former Mayor Pro Tem Engelbrecht,

00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.559
and no one else has expressed an interest.

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.720
I have a question.

00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.160
If there are three names, can a committee

00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:30.880
go forward with only two names?

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.359
I guess, Kevin, were you showing an interest in that?

00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:41.240
Sure.

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:42.200
You were just asking the question.

00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:42.700
OK.

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:43.200
All right.

00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:43.839
Yeah, yeah.

00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:44.339
OK.

00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:46.200
So Council Member Roden.

00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:47.640
Got it.

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:48.640
Ethics Committee.

00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:51.640
Currently, Mayor Pro Tem Gregory and Council Member

00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.640
Roden serve on there.

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.400
Council Members Wasney and Briggs

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.039
have both expressed an interest for serving

00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:01.440
there as one vacancy from--

00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.599
I'm willing to-- I've done that six years.

00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.240
I'm willing to step off and give room for the other folks

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.039
that would like to be on it.

00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:10.119
I appreciate that.

00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:11.440
Thank you, Mr. Gregory.

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:11.940
OK.

00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:12.440
Thank you.

00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:14.359
All right.

00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.599
The HOT Committee.

00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:21.079
Currently, Council Member Hawkins and Mayor Watts serve.

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.319
There is a vacancy from former Council Member Ryan.

00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:25.819
OK.

00:18:25.819 --> 00:18:28.319
We got--

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:29.279
I had been on it.

00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:30.519
I missed not being on it.

00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.400
So I'd take it unless somebody else wants it.

00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:34.480
Council Member Johnson.

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.680
Someone asked me if I would volunteer for it.

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.240
So I certainly will.

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.000
But I will yield to the Mayor Pro Tem

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.319
if he's passionate about HOT funds.

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.640
[INAUDIBLE]

00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.839
I don't think I would call it passionate.

00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:54.519
We could park the fork.

00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:55.160
Park the fork.

00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:56.279
Ready?

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.759
Ready.

00:18:58.759 --> 00:18:59.400
Oh, you got it.

00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.599
I got it.

00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:04.240
We solve things here in a very sophisticated way.

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.079
OK, so then the person who will be on that will be Johnson.

00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:07.440
Johnson.

00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:08.039
Will be joining us.

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:08.680
Is that correct?

00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:09.180
Correct.

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:11.559
Scissors, Trump, paper, sir.

00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:13.480
I forgot that game.

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.440
OK, Mobility Committee.

00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:20.240
Currently serving are Council Members Johnson and Rodin

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:24.319
and Mayor Pro Tem Gregory.

00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:28.200
However, Council Member Briggs has expressed an interest

00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:28.640
also

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.839
in that.

00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.680
If everybody's good, I'm OK.

00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:33.559
You're good staying.

00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:35.039
Still good.

00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:35.720
OK.

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:36.200
Yeah.

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:36.960
All right.

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:38.400
Keep it as is.

00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.519
Community Justice Council.

00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.880
Council Member Rodin currently serves.

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:43.960
I didn't have one meeting.

00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:45.680
No.

00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:46.720
That's a great committee.

00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:49.640
Convention and Visitors Bureau.

00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.240
Currently, Council Member Johnson's on there.

00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.079
There are two vacancies from our former Council Members.

00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.200
So we do have two vacancies.

00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:01.440
And Council Member Briggs has expressed an interest

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:02.480
for one of those spots.

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:09.559
Yes.

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:10.880
If nobody else, I'll do it.

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.559
But if somebody else wants to.

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:16.279
Can I get off of it?

00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:18.200
Which one?

00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:20.880
Convention and Visitors Bureau?

00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:21.359
Yes.

00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:22.359
Is that a reaction to me?

00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:22.880
No.

00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:24.359
It's really not.

00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:27.279
It's really not.

00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.039
I'll stay on it if I need to.

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:29.559
OK.

00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:30.640
So we have Johnson.

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:31.519
And Joey's not here.

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:33.279
So we may--

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:35.279
Not really.

00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:38.039
So when he comes, and if we're still in open session

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.240
or later on, he might can work behind the scenes to--

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:43.440
Well, why don't we put him on some since he's not here.

00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.400
There you go.

00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:45.920
Well, on that point--

00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:46.440
Yes.

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:50.000
And I guess this is more of a legal question, or a due

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.359
question, or both.

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:55.440
I was on that for a couple years, if not four years.

00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:00.640
And I don't recall three Council Members ever

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.119
filling that.

00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:05.559
And because it's being part of a larger

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:07.240
committee in the community.

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.200
So I'm wondering if, hypothetically,

00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.359
if he's interested in kind of rolling off,

00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:13.759
if two is sufficient for that.

00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:19.480
I'd have to look at--

00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:21.519
I think it states that there's three.

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:22.920
I think all of them have three.

00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:24.720
I'll have to pull that up and look for it.

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:27.240
I can do that.

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.000
Maybe one person just never went.

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.160
I think that's what it was.

00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.440
Well, Council Member Briggs is interested.

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.759
So should we drop her in there?

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:37.640
OK.

00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:39.960
So I need one more.

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.359
Oh.

00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:43.640
And there he is.

00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:45.559
We're just figuring out our committee assignments.

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:47.599
We've given you all the ones that you didn't want.

00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:48.400
Yes or no, Johnny?

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:48.880
Put you on all of them.

00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:49.359
So far.

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.319
My fundraiser on everything?

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:54.000
And MC.

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.440
I'm sorry.

00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:58.799
Do we want to start again?

00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:00.039
No.

00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:01.039
We'll see.

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:04.640
We'll ask him when he gets his preferences off.

00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:05.480
Oh, you're ready?

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.519
OK.

00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.000
I'd like to stay on the same committees.

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.079
And then if anybody--

00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:10.039
I'd be on CBB.

00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:11.599
That'd be cool.

00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:12.960
Yes.

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.319
All right.

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.759
He's got a speaker in here somewhere.

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:21.400
Wait, did you want off or did you want off?

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:22.359
We can see how it goes.

00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.079
I just don't want to be on too many.

00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:27.480
I've already added two, right?

00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:28.480
One or two?

00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:29.240
Two.

00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.039
I've added two?

00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.480
Yeah, it wouldn't be a bad idea to roll off of that one.

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:34.680
I've been there for a while.

00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:35.759
So now I have an E.

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:36.039
Cool.

00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:37.480
OK.

00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:40.039
Well, I still only have two.

00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.400
Hawkins and Briggs.

00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:43.200
And Gregory.

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:44.200
OK.

00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:48.680
Dallas Regional Mobility Committee

00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.839
has Council Member Roden.

00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:53.519
Lake Ray Roberts, Planning and Zoning.

00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.559
Council Member Briggs has expressed an interest in that.

00:22:57.559 --> 00:22:58.240
Back in two.

00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.440
District two.

00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:01.440
OK.

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.839
North Texas Commission has Mayor Watts.

00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:06.960
Regional Transportation Council.

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:12.079
Council Member Roden with Johnson as an alternate.

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.480
TMPA is Mayor Watts.

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.480
Council Historic Landmark Committee.

00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.680
We have one vacancy from former Council Member Ryan.

00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:25.200
Currently, Council Members Roden and Johnson

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.920
serve both Council Members Wasney and Briggs

00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:30.519
have expressed an interest.

00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:32.480
I'm going to let Miss Wasney have that one.

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.960
OK.

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.359
Is that good?

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:37.279
All right.

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:39.640
Wasney it is.

00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:41.400
Development Code Review Committee.

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:43.240
We have two vacancies.

00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:46.720
Currently, Council Member Johnson serves on there.

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:49.960
Council Member Wasney has expressed an interest

00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:50.839
in serving on that.

00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:53.160
[INAUDIBLE]

00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:54.799
OK.

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:55.599
Yeah.

00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:56.200
Yeah.

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:57.079
Now I need one more.

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:01.599
Is this yours?

00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:02.079
What are--

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:02.839
I need one more.

00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:03.440
--Code Review.

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:04.440
The Development Code Review.

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:05.640
You need one more?

00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:07.940
Because we have right now Johnson and Council Member Wasney

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:08.079
.

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:08.559
Is that right?

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.519
Correct.

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.960
So we need one more.

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:11.480
What is this?

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.519
Development Code Review.

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.640
Development Code Review.

00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.119
Not it.

00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:20.559
I'll volunteer.

00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:21.440
OK.

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:22.079
OK, Briggs.

00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.960
Property Maintenance Code.

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:29.440
We have two vacancies.

00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:31.920
Currently, Council Member Roden is serving.

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:33.279
And we have two vacancies.

00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:38.440
Mayor?

00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:38.960
Yes.

00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:40.160
How often does that meet?

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:41.240
Can anybody--

00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:41.720
I don't know.

00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:43.400
It hasn't met in a long time, but I know.

00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:45.640
Council Member Roden had a meeting.

00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:46.680
Oh, I want to--

00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:47.680
I'll do it.

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:48.880
I want that one.

00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:49.759
I'll do it.

00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:52.200
Hawkins?

00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:52.960
Johnson.

00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:54.000
OK, Hawkins and Johnson.

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:56.559
Is that OK?

00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:58.720
OK.

00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:00.799
Economic Development Partnership Board.

00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.839
Council Member Johnson and Mayor Watts.

00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:06.200
Downtown TIFF.

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:09.240
Council Member Roden and Mayor Watts.

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:12.759
Let me go to the Downtown TIFF.

00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:14.279
If somebody wants to serve on that,

00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:16.519
because I found that sometimes on serving on that one

00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.440
and then coming into council, it just

00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:21.880
makes it difficult sometimes to vote on something

00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.119
and come here and vote on it.

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:25.000
So if somebody's got a burning desire

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.359
to be on the Downtown TIFF board,

00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:29.240
I certainly would relinquish my position.

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:30.359
If not, that's OK.

00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.240
I'll continue to serve with no problem.

00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:34.759
Thank you all.

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:35.400
Appreciate that.

00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.119
You're welcome.

00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:43.440
And the TURS number two, those members

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:45.720
are the same as the EDP members.

00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:47.759
So it'll stay Johnson and Watts.

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.680
Yes.

00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:51.119
OK.

00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:54.839
Did we figure out on-- yes, I think on the Historic Land

00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:55.200
mark

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.279
Commission, the vacancy was filled by Council Member

00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:58.079
Wasney.

00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:58.400
Yes.

00:25:58.400 --> 00:25:58.880
Correct.

00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:00.559
With Roden, Johnson, and Wasney.

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:01.160
Yes.

00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:04.400
I think that takes care of all of them.

00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:04.680
Any--

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:05.160
Yes, sir.

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:05.960
Question if I can.

00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:06.640
Yes, you sure.

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:10.759
I just didn't get on the development code.

00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:12.440
Wasney, Johnson, and Briggs.

00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:20.039
Yes, Kevin.

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:23.039
And maybe this takes some historical research.

00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:25.519
But I seem to remember meeting with Property Maintenance

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:26.119
Code.

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.460
I think you were on it back when you were on council last

00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:28.799
time.

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:32.880
And we had a final meeting to wrap up whatever.

00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:38.000
And I thought we agreed at that point to dissolve it.

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:39.599
Because it was ad hoc, it had kind of

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:40.759
finished its current mission.

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:42.880
But I may be wrong.

00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:44.319
So just a matter of whether or not

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:45.799
it still exists as an ad hoc.

00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.319
Well, I remember when I got off of it.

00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:51.640
But I think it has been--

00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:53.319
I think there's been members assigned to it.

00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:55.759
I just don't think it was-- it's more of an ad hoc

00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:56.559
if there were issues.

00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:58.680
Because I know we've said that we're going to review

00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:00.920
that code periodically.

00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.240
So if it's still in existence, it's worth keeping on.

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:03.920
Yeah.

00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:06.880
Or if we need to wait and just not have the committee.

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.960
And then if we're going to review it, then either

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:11.920
appoint one or just do it the entire council.

00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.559
So it's really the council's pleasure on that.

00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:16.599
I really don't have a preference on that.

00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:17.920
What are your preferences on that?

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:18.799
I don't have a preference.

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:20.559
More it was a question of whether or not

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.880
we actually legally dissolved it as an act of council.

00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:24.380
OK.

00:27:24.380 --> 00:27:25.119
So that's the question.

00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:25.599
All right.

00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:27.079
Got you.

00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:28.160
We'll research that.

00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:29.880
Thank you.

00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:34.200
We will take these appointments then and update your list

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.759
and have them up at your spots up in the council chambers.

00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.519
So when you get to that position or point in your agenda,

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.759
you'll have the updated list that you can approve.

00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:45.279
All right.

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:46.839
Any questions, comments?

00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:47.920
Thank you.

00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:50.359
Thank you.

00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:54.319
Well, that will end our open session for the June 2, 2015

00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:55.720
meeting.

00:27:55.720 --> 00:28:01.480
I will now convene the closed session at 2.29.

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:03.480
We will consider the following items--

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:05.039
deliberation regarding real property

00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:08.720
under Texas Government Code Section 551.072,

00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.019
consultation with attorneys under Texas Government Code

00:28:11.019 --> 00:28:15.299
Section 551.071, deliberations regarding economic

00:28:15.299 --> 00:28:15.799
development

00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.640
negotiations under Texas Government Code Section 551.087.

00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:28.720
[AUDIO OUT]

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:58.720
[AUDIO OUT]

00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:28.720
[AUDIO OUT]
