1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,299
Good morning everyone. We have a quorum of seven now so we

2
00:00:06,299 --> 00:00:07,000
'll call the economic bill

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
park before meeting for Wednesday, June 10th.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:18,449
I just ordered at 1110 and I don't see any members of the

5
00:00:18,449 --> 00:00:22,000
public during that portion

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,050
so we'll go to items for consideration which would be the

7
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:34,399
first one IMA, EDP 26-014, consider approval of the minutes

8
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:35,000
from April 15th,

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,270
26th economic bill of partnership board retreat and special

10
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:40,000
follow meeting.

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,270
I think everybody received the minutes and the email. Were

12
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:46,000
there any questions related to that?

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Move approval.

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Got a motion from Rick. Second?

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Second.

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
All in favor say aye.

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Aye.

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:05,000
I'll go to the same sign. Motion carries.

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,819
Item B is EDP 26-015, consider making a recommendation to

20
00:01:10,819 --> 00:01:15,269
the city council of the adoption of the city of January

21
00:01:15,269 --> 00:01:31,000
chapter 312 tax abatement policy.

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,459
Good morning. My name is Erica Sullivan. I'm the economic

23
00:01:35,459 --> 00:01:36,859
development program administrator here at the city and I'll

24
00:01:36,859 --> 00:01:39,709
be giving a presentation on the update to our tax abatement

25
00:01:39,709 --> 00:01:41,000
policy.

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,269
So we'll begin with an overview and history, talk about the

27
00:01:45,269 --> 00:01:49,060
tax abatement considerations and then we'll go over those

28
00:01:49,060 --> 00:01:50,000
changes.

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,010
We have a number of new members so I thought I'd give a

30
00:01:53,010 --> 00:01:55,000
brief overview of tax abatements.

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,760
So chapter 312 of the Texas tax code is the governing

32
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,109
statutory. The tax abatement is falling under the four new

33
00:02:04,109 --> 00:02:06,000
and expanded distances.

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,129
There's a minimum capital investment required for our tax

35
00:02:08,129 --> 00:02:11,000
abatement policy. It's five million.

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,300
That's exclusive to the tax abatement policy and not the

37
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:16,000
Texas 380 policy.

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,900
The chapter 380 policy we have, we wanted to be able to

39
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:25,000
incentivize human capital. So a lot of times our technology

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:25,000
members don't have that type of capital.

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,879
So we can have those grants via chapter 3. So the property

42
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,979
owner receives an exemption of all or a portion of their

43
00:02:31,979 --> 00:02:36,580
property taxes and that's done through the central apprais

44
00:02:36,580 --> 00:02:39,000
al discrete on their tax bill.

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,500
And as for all of our incentives, we perform an economic

46
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:46,060
analysis to determine the project costs and the ROI. And

47
00:02:46,060 --> 00:02:48,599
then one thing to note is that it's the incremental so only

48
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:52,159
new, but state law we can't incentivize what's already

49
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:54,000
existing under chapter 312.

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,300
So new real property and new business. That could be two

51
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:02,000
existing buildings or brand new buildings.

52
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,270
So the policy history, our first policy was adopted in 1989

53
00:03:06,270 --> 00:03:11,000
. We included sustainability incentives in 2010 and 12.

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,629
And then we expanded the incentive to include chapter 380

55
00:03:14,629 --> 00:03:17,330
of the local government code that gives cities a

56
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:21,729
opportunity to give grants and loans in 2014 and then in 18

57
00:03:21,729 --> 00:03:26,189
we address retail language, adding some definitions for

58
00:03:26,189 --> 00:03:28,000
sales and use tax for construction,

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,189
and then we incorporated the investment fund in our base

60
00:03:31,189 --> 00:03:35,210
aircraft incentive all under one umbrella. And then 2020 we

61
00:03:35,210 --> 00:03:38,150
didn't have any significant changes because we were working

62
00:03:38,150 --> 00:03:41,000
on the strategic plan and wanted to incorporate that.

63
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,319
So the plan was adopted in 2021. And then the policies were

64
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:49,259
separated into two policies the tax payment policy and the

65
00:03:49,259 --> 00:03:52,500
chapter 380 policy at that time, and we aligned them with

66
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,000
the city's core values and the strategic plan.

67
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,979
The city plan has five guiding principles that we use to

68
00:03:57,979 --> 00:04:01,360
frame economic development that's core resiliency, future

69
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,620
focused, inclusive growth, entrepreneurial spirit and

70
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:06,000
cultural vitality.

71
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,759
And there are also three major goals of the plan to

72
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:11,830
accelerate recovery at that time, foster growth and

73
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:14,000
strengthen community inclusion.

74
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,589
So the last update that was performed in 2024, we rest

75
00:04:18,589 --> 00:04:22,720
ructured our strategic growth areas or SGA's under all of

76
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,800
our public benefit factors under those. So we have

77
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000
connectivity, creative, sustainable and competitive.

78
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,800
So we put all of our criterion under those in order to

79
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,850
better align it with the plan, but I think that was found

80
00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:37,000
to be confusing.

81
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,509
And then we also added this board recommended adding a

82
00:04:40,509 --> 00:04:44,430
comprehensive benefit package consideration. We also

83
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:48,399
incorporated underwriting in 2024 after the Fine Arts

84
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:49,000
Theater.

85
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,449
So some considerations again, chapter 3 file the tax code

86
00:04:52,449 --> 00:04:55,610
is what governs it and state law requires us to update our

87
00:04:55,610 --> 00:04:58,850
policy every two years in order to be eligible to grant tax

88
00:04:58,850 --> 00:05:00,000
abatements.

89
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,269
So they're only effective for those two years and then they

90
00:05:03,269 --> 00:05:06,540
expire and then during that period, if you want to amend it

91
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:09,740
, you need to have three quarter vote or super majority in

92
00:05:09,740 --> 00:05:11,000
order to do that.

93
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,610
And that's part of the reason we chose in 2022 to separate

94
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:17,699
the tax statement policy and the chapter 3 policy so we

95
00:05:17,699 --> 00:05:20,980
could update the chapter 3 policy in that interim without

96
00:05:20,980 --> 00:05:22,000
super majority.

97
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,569
And then also for times like this, where we had a board

98
00:05:24,569 --> 00:05:27,240
retreat, it gives us a little bit more time to work on the

99
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,019
chapter 3 policy in order to incorporate some of those

100
00:05:30,019 --> 00:05:31,000
things in that.

101
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,100
So it I think it benefited us by supporting the two

102
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:37,509
policies. And then the chapter requires the governing body

103
00:05:37,509 --> 00:05:40,339
to hold a public hearing when adopting the tax abatement

104
00:05:40,339 --> 00:05:41,000
policy.

105
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,389
Debt county is another consideration. They generally prefer

106
00:05:44,389 --> 00:05:47,449
to participate in tax payments with cities, but they have

107
00:05:47,449 --> 00:05:50,550
done a couple chapter 3, 8, 1, which is the county

108
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:55,180
equivalent of chapter 3 here recently. So we're encouraged

109
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:56,000
by that.

110
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,319
So we'll go into the proposed changes to the policy. One of

111
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:03,480
the considerations that we added was to address redevelop

112
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,879
ment. That was one of the items that this board had

113
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:09,000
recommended in the retreat.

114
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,870
And we want to also encourage redevelopment in the downtown

115
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:15,990
areas of the downtown tours. And then we also want to

116
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:18,629
encourage projects that were identified or support the new

117
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:21,850
master plan was approved in September of 24. I designed

118
00:06:21,850 --> 00:06:23,000
downtown plan.

119
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,449
And then we have some general administrative cleanups of

120
00:06:25,449 --> 00:06:27,350
definitions and items not needed. We're trying to

121
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:30,000
streamline the policy. So it's not as daunting.

122
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,290
So a lot of the definitions, for example, could be handled

123
00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:38,670
in the agreement or were specific to a particular project.

124
00:06:38,670 --> 00:06:42,259
So we cleaned some of that up and then we updated the

125
00:06:42,259 --> 00:06:46,000
census maps with the qualified census tracks.

126
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
We also align our policies to the city core values.

127
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,839
So you can see here the current values and then the

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,300
proposed that are aligned with the cities. So the new ones

129
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:02,509
are in blue there collaboration, quality service and

130
00:07:02,509 --> 00:07:04,000
strategic focus.

131
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,589
And then we also want to highlight the changes to the

132
00:07:06,589 --> 00:07:09,709
current policies dealing with our targeted industry sectors

133
00:07:09,709 --> 00:07:12,550
. So our current industry sectors are aligned with our

134
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:17,990
strategic growth areas. And this is taken directly from our

135
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:19,000
strategic plan.

136
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,149
And these are organized by NAICS, the industry codes. And

137
00:07:22,149 --> 00:07:24,990
again, there are creativity, creativity, sustainability and

138
00:07:24,990 --> 00:07:27,790
competitiveness. Those were the four areas that the NAICS

139
00:07:27,790 --> 00:07:29,000
were organized under.

140
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,269
And a lot of businesses and even our new staff found this

141
00:07:33,269 --> 00:07:36,709
confusing. So we are proposing, especially with our new

142
00:07:36,709 --> 00:07:40,329
marketing efforts, because we, you know, the Chamber and

143
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:42,000
the City have taken on different roles.

144
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,220
Chamber took on business retention. We took on marketing.

145
00:07:46,220 --> 00:07:49,839
So we are proposing aviation, aerospace, you see here on

146
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:53,779
the right, drone and transportation, mobility, advanced

147
00:07:53,779 --> 00:07:57,480
manufacturing, biomedical, bioscience, like the Vardis,

148
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,000
information technology, renewable energy, research and

149
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:01,000
development.

150
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
That was another item that came out of the board retreat.

151
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,279
Supply chain and logistics, because where we're located,

152
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:10,000
that's ideal at the apex of Dallas-Fort Worth.

153
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,449
And then we also want to, you know, we have our own

154
00:08:12,449 --> 00:08:15,480
municipal electric utility and other utilities. So we want

155
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,220
to incorporate significant consumers and municipal

156
00:08:18,220 --> 00:08:19,000
utilities.

157
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,480
And then our unmanned aircraft systems, UA Aztec ecosystem

158
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,000
that we want to support.

159
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,870
So here is a change and some considerations that we looked

160
00:08:30,870 --> 00:08:34,009
at as a group. So again, the minimum five million capital

161
00:08:34,009 --> 00:08:36,000
investment for the tax evasion policy.

162
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,899
Another item is that incentives may not be considered if a

163
00:08:38,899 --> 00:08:42,000
permit has been issued or if instruction has been issued.

164
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,240
This addresses the but for with the business comp up for

165
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,000
incentives.

166
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,580
And then we added the targeted industry sectors that we

167
00:08:49,580 --> 00:08:53,259
just reviewed on that last slide. So you can look at them

168
00:08:53,259 --> 00:08:57,330
clearly. Just a quick update on the 2026 qualified census

169
00:08:57,330 --> 00:09:00,000
tracks. We added the new map with that.

170
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,509
And we also made a change here. Any minimum job related

171
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:06,799
thresholds will be at least 75% of the jobs in the

172
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:10,149
application. Our previous was 90, but that's a little hard

173
00:09:10,149 --> 00:09:12,000
to achieve for some of our businesses.

174
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And then we also have a minimum threshold value performed.

175
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
This is our timely completion date in 24 months.

176
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,629
And so if they're constructing a new facility or expanding,

177
00:09:23,629 --> 00:09:25,960
they have to do that within that in order to be eligible

178
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,000
for the incentive.

179
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,029
And then the minimum threshold at least 75% of the value

180
00:09:30,029 --> 00:09:33,399
for new projects and 50% for expansion projects. We found

181
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:36,600
that in span, expansion projects, expanding the same amount

182
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,669
were not valued the same amount unless they changed the use

183
00:09:39,669 --> 00:09:40,000
.

184
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,840
Increases higher wage knowledge based jobs. So we have an

185
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,000
average of 65,000 for all jobs for 35,000.

186
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,440
25% maintenance, 75,000. We wanted to see if that was still

187
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,330
something that we wanted to support and then pays a living

188
00:09:57,330 --> 00:10:01,159
wage for all new employees in accordance with the living

189
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:03,000
wage calculator for NIC.

190
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,580
So these are some things to consider. The options and

191
00:10:06,580 --> 00:10:09,279
recommendations for this board. The board can recommend

192
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:12,000
proposed changes to the tax statement policy.

193
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,600
The board can make recommendations to include or exclude

194
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,389
items to provide other direction. And then I wanted to

195
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:20,750
highlight the next step. So the tax abatement policy is

196
00:10:20,750 --> 00:10:24,000
right now scheduled to be considered on July 14.

197
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
The Chapter 380 policy would go to EDP in July or August.

198
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,019
And then the Chapter 380 policy by council in August or

199
00:10:32,019 --> 00:10:33,000
September.

200
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:43,000
I'm happy to entertain questions.

201
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Thomas, anything?

202
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,450
Well, actually I have one quick question. On the

203
00:10:52,450 --> 00:10:55,820
construction, is that the start construction within 24

204
00:10:55,820 --> 00:10:58,000
months of finished construction?

205
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,110
The final completion would be to finish. And that's

206
00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:04,759
typically what we allow in our policy. And it's December of

207
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:08,190
that year. So it's not necessarily exactly 24 months, but

208
00:11:08,190 --> 00:11:11,159
typically it's two years after it's developed, but it's

209
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:13,000
December 31.

210
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
So it's more?

211
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
A little bit. It depends when it falls exactly.

212
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,870
Because my only concern is if you can't get an application

213
00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:29,220
in your permit period, it could take you 12 months. You're

214
00:11:29,220 --> 00:11:31,299
planning. And then 12 months in this big project could take

215
00:11:31,299 --> 00:11:32,000
a little longer.

216
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:44,509
So that would be the only thing I think that we're going to

217
00:11:44,509 --> 00:11:47,000
be here. Probably if you could already be in your building

218
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:47,000
permit. So I think there might need to just think about

219
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:47,000
that timeline because I could put some people.

220
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:54,000
30 months, 36 months.

221
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:02,100
That may be a better way that maybe better language. I'll

222
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:03,129
say that we had two businesses that we had to deny

223
00:12:03,129 --> 00:12:04,470
incentives because they were yet applied for commercial

224
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:05,000
alterations permit.

225
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,269
And so I think we always refer back to the but for clause

226
00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:13,279
and Scott or Eric, you may want to review that real quick

227
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,000
because that's what I think.

228
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,289
Please talk about this item here. The minimum threshold tax

229
00:12:21,289 --> 00:12:25,000
value within 24 months. We're proposed changing that to 30.

230
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,460
And then the but for incentives. But you may leave that up

231
00:12:30,460 --> 00:12:33,240
here. The second item, it says may not be considered a

232
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,000
billing permit for new construction has been issued.

233
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,070
That's not being added. That's already in existing. In

234
00:12:38,070 --> 00:12:40,000
existing. But these are things I want you to consider.

235
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,929
So that's why they're up on this. So there's two things of

236
00:12:46,929 --> 00:12:49,240
both of those. First, let's finish on this. I think Lucy's

237
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,580
comment on that 24 months after the building permits been

238
00:12:51,580 --> 00:12:55,000
issued just to make sure because that's real.

239
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Yeah.

240
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,269
And then on the I think we need to be clear because we kind

241
00:13:01,269 --> 00:13:05,519
of said two different things there on building permit has

242
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:10,159
been issued or applied for. So it's been applied for. I

243
00:13:10,159 --> 00:13:13,000
think you still should be eligible for incentives.

244
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,570
But once it's been issued, I kind of I see both sides of

245
00:13:16,570 --> 00:13:20,299
that because somebody could spend the time saying, okay, we

246
00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:22,000
're on a tight timeline.

247
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,799
Like, we're trying to get this thing going. We're going to

248
00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:27,659
go ahead and move forward. I've seen companies move forward

249
00:13:27,659 --> 00:13:30,129
with permits in two cities actually at the same time,

250
00:13:30,129 --> 00:13:33,000
because whatever they're going to spend is worth and then

251
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000
see where they end up.

252
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,049
Then on the flip side of that, I also see if they already

253
00:13:38,049 --> 00:13:40,269
got a building permit, why are we going to give them an

254
00:13:40,269 --> 00:13:42,679
incentive because they're coming here anyway. So that's

255
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,000
kind of two sided going there.

256
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,940
But because of the timeline, it takes to get projects done

257
00:13:49,940 --> 00:13:55,000
entitled, especially if they're zoning and planning.

258
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,730
So, I'd like to hear other people's opinion on that because

259
00:13:57,730 --> 00:14:00,000
I'm kind of on the fence. Right? Like, why do we give

260
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,210
incentives if they're already got a building permit? But

261
00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:06,000
then on the flip side of that, it takes a long time.

262
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:16,210
I don't really like to hear. There is a caveat in this

263
00:14:16,210 --> 00:14:16,750
consideration too that's not listed here. So if they've

264
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:17,289
already applied to us and later they get the permit, that's

265
00:14:17,289 --> 00:14:18,000
okay. We have to have an application in the house.

266
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,759
Before they get their permit. They could be in the process

267
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:26,549
of getting their permit, make application, but don't have

268
00:14:26,549 --> 00:14:28,000
it received it yet.

269
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,330
That's currently what it is. But we've actually had some

270
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:36,159
that have received a permit and have applied. It's rare,

271
00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:37,000
but it happens. So it's just a consideration.

272
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,320
And as far as the 24 month time of completion, I think

273
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:47,210
Tyson's done that. They constricted right after COVID. So

274
00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:50,000
that was part of the reason.

275
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:58,019
So back to the permit. She said, but for what's that cause?

276
00:14:58,019 --> 00:15:00,519
When it happened, but for incentives, it's more of a legal

277
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:02,000
case to you that we talk about.

278
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,570
So, and Scott can chime in. So you don't want to give an un

279
00:15:05,570 --> 00:15:08,220
constitutional gift. You want it to be a public benefit. You

280
00:15:08,220 --> 00:15:11,000
don't want to give it if they would come anyway.

281
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:18,779
I have the idea, but for incentives, we didn't give it to

282
00:15:18,779 --> 00:15:20,659
them. They come anyway. So, and this is probably just an

283
00:15:20,659 --> 00:15:21,000
education for me.

284
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,330
If someone had a permit and then they presented a new

285
00:15:26,330 --> 00:15:29,620
opportunity, do they amend the permit or do they have to go

286
00:15:29,620 --> 00:15:32,000
through and get a new permit?

287
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,830
If the scope of the work expands because of a new project,

288
00:15:36,830 --> 00:15:41,139
then they have an opportunity to do. So let's say a

289
00:15:41,139 --> 00:15:45,000
business is growing and they're going to do X.

290
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,720
But now they have an opportunity to get a new contract with

291
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,549
a new customer. And then now they need to increase the

292
00:15:51,549 --> 00:15:52,000
scope.

293
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,759
Is there an amendment process through the planning

294
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:57,669
development that we offer or do they have to start that

295
00:15:57,669 --> 00:16:00,000
entire process over to get a new permit?

296
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,299
I can't see for development services permit process. I can

297
00:16:04,299 --> 00:16:07,000
tell you how we would apply our policy.

298
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,299
Scott, I know you work with other departments. I don't know

299
00:16:11,299 --> 00:16:12,000
if you would be involved.

300
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,009
I think there's a flow chart to that somewhere. I think it

301
00:16:15,009 --> 00:16:19,679
says if it's a percentage of change or don't quote me on

302
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:24,000
this, but I think if it's more than 50% of buildings.

303
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,279
I mean, there's a flow chart out there, so it's a

304
00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:31,000
complicated answer. So yes and no. So I guess my question

305
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
would be if they have to do this additional scope of work,

306
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
it falls under the existing permit.

307
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,500
But they're not eligible to come to us at that point for an

308
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:44,000
incentive to do that job or to do that work expansion.

309
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,179
If a project were to expand, normally an expansion is

310
00:16:47,179 --> 00:16:50,340
eligible. If they got their application in before, then

311
00:16:50,340 --> 00:16:52,000
they would still be eligible.

312
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,269
But in this case, they don't because the work is already

313
00:16:56,269 --> 00:16:58,000
ongoing and now it's changed.

314
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,639
It is different for existing businesses versus the ones

315
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,460
that are moving here, recruitment projects. So that's how

316
00:17:03,460 --> 00:17:06,299
we measure. We put this, we apply incentives that get

317
00:17:06,299 --> 00:17:10,500
considered if they apply for building permit for new

318
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:12,000
businesses coming in.

319
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:22,059
Existing businesses are exempt in the policy. That's the

320
00:17:22,059 --> 00:17:22,410
clause. It's not completely, but it is exempt in the policy

321
00:17:22,410 --> 00:17:22,740
. So if you're already here and you're expanding your exempt

322
00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:27,000
from the new permit. So yes, they would be able to.

323
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,539
I guess if someone's coming in new here and they're not

324
00:17:29,539 --> 00:17:32,390
existing and then that happens, then they would just be out

325
00:17:32,390 --> 00:17:33,000
of work.

326
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,859
They're new and then they chose to expand now. But we would

327
00:17:36,859 --> 00:17:40,430
tell them that the next expansion would be happy to work

328
00:17:40,430 --> 00:17:44,369
with them on that. We can still be ambassadors to help them

329
00:17:44,369 --> 00:17:46,000
through that process.

330
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:55,700
It's normally too restrictive because you know, if you're

331
00:17:55,700 --> 00:18:06,009
trying to jumpstart your $5 million investment, you can't

332
00:18:06,009 --> 00:18:10,000
get any access to that.

333
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,759
I got a project right now we're working on it therefore,

334
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:15,710
and you know, put preliminary budgets together on it, but

335
00:18:15,710 --> 00:18:18,420
we don't know our final budgets until we get through the

336
00:18:18,420 --> 00:18:21,440
city. So we don't know if it's going to require incentives

337
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,000
or not.

338
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,400
So the good thing is, it seems like we can move incentives

339
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,930
through fairly quickly if we choose to. So that's kind of

340
00:18:28,930 --> 00:18:32,410
another little catch 22 because I think you met with mass

341
00:18:32,410 --> 00:18:34,000
code services, right?

342
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,450
And so it's kind of like, I don't know if we're going to

343
00:18:36,450 --> 00:18:39,140
need incentives because we don't know what engineering is

344
00:18:39,140 --> 00:18:42,450
going to require. You know what level of offsite or

345
00:18:42,450 --> 00:18:44,000
whatever it may be.

346
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,069
You know, sometimes you don't know that until you get into

347
00:18:47,069 --> 00:18:50,190
that process. So that's sometimes kind of a catch 22. You

348
00:18:50,190 --> 00:18:52,950
might have a budget for your project and then all of a

349
00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:56,130
sudden you got to pull the water line from somewhere and

350
00:18:56,130 --> 00:18:57,000
you don't know that.

351
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,009
So, but I guess the catch to that is you could go okay I'm

352
00:19:00,009 --> 00:19:03,240
not picking my permit may be approved, but I'm not picking

353
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,069
it up to let it be issued I'm going to set there for six

354
00:19:06,069 --> 00:19:09,220
months, while I go through my sentence and I guess that's

355
00:19:09,220 --> 00:19:12,519
probably where we can educate people applying for

356
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:14,000
incentives, although it may be approved.

357
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,420
It's not issued until you actually go pay for it and pick

358
00:19:17,420 --> 00:19:18,000
it up.

359
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
I think they're saying you can't apply for it.

360
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,269
That's why I asked the question Jeremy on that is, is it

361
00:19:27,269 --> 00:19:31,000
submitted for building permits, or is it issued.

362
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,119
Okay, an issue doesn't, you don't have your building permit

363
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,009
to you've paid your impact fees, and all that so you could

364
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:39,000
leave it sitting there approved.

365
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
And then apply. Yes.

366
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
They said you had to apply with us first.

367
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,609
Regardless of application or the permits been issued but

368
00:19:48,609 --> 00:19:52,000
you applied in your eligible, but it's issued to be clear.

369
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,730
You can apply while you're in the process. So I guess it's

370
00:19:54,730 --> 00:19:57,750
just us educating people like don't pick that permit up yet

371
00:19:57,750 --> 00:20:00,200
. Whenever we meet with them and they are talking about

372
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,549
incentives I encourage them to apply early in process to

373
00:20:02,549 --> 00:20:04,000
maintain your eligible.

374
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,680
Yeah, so I think we're okay there we just need to make sure

375
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,000
we do not go pay for that permit.

376
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,450
We do welcome through we all start to move semester

377
00:20:12,450 --> 00:20:15,170
incentive application as soon as possible and we work with

378
00:20:15,170 --> 00:20:18,019
them and they need to update their numbers throughout the

379
00:20:18,019 --> 00:20:20,730
process we can do that, because it's a negotiation process

380
00:20:20,730 --> 00:20:23,000
but we want to make sure that we do that before.

381
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,769
And also because our approval process takes so long, we go

382
00:20:25,769 --> 00:20:28,289
through, you can be and then no actually see council

383
00:20:28,289 --> 00:20:31,000
procession, you can be the back to the city council.

384
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,940
So we definitely stress that they need to turn in their

385
00:20:33,940 --> 00:20:35,000
installation.

386
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,880
So the minimum five million capital investment was it

387
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,000
previously, you say five million.

388
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,220
The only thing that's changed is here it just want you to

389
00:20:43,220 --> 00:20:47,000
consider it's one thing considered lowering it for example.

390
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,420
There's only about one incentive I can think of it was a 3

391
00:20:50,420 --> 00:20:55,000
80 that we gave and that was so fun. So we gave them.

392
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
I think it was a little over 2 million.

393
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,180
And then again they were, it was a chapter three, he said

394
00:21:00,180 --> 00:21:01,000
we were a lot.

395
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,480
Does you said that is a certain aspects of this don't apply

396
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,930
to existing business or none of this applies to existing

397
00:21:07,930 --> 00:21:09,000
businesses.

398
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,500
We call out specifically for this second item. If a permit

399
00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:17,190
has been issued and then we call out it excludes expanding

400
00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:18,000
businesses.

401
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,450
So, but on the first one the five million capital

402
00:21:20,450 --> 00:21:23,000
investment doesn't apply for existing business.

403
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,690
It's for all the only time it doesn't apply to when we're

404
00:21:26,690 --> 00:21:31,000
using policy to be clear trying to find the exact language.

405
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,880
But is this something we looked at we looked at whatever

406
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,000
cities were doing to and just something for conversation.

407
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
The city of our cities of our size are usually higher.

408
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Pretty comfortable with that.

409
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,440
If not, I want to say the motion to approve just to make

410
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,359
sure I'm mostly approved changing the 24 months from the

411
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,000
time.

412
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Building from issue.

413
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Correct.

414
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
And I have that did you make that motion change?

415
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Yes, I'll make that motion.

416
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,759
So we have a motion to accept as written with that change

417
00:22:08,759 --> 00:22:14,000
to the 24 months from after permit issue.

418
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Second.

419
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
All in favor say aye.

420
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Aye.

421
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Motion to approve.

422
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,240
We move to the work session called item A, 26 dash zero one

423
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:42,130
six received report discussion regarding what plan goals

424
00:22:42,130 --> 00:22:45,000
partnership board retreat.

425
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Well, good morning everybody.

426
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,910
So, as you recall, in March of this year, we hold our first

427
00:22:52,910 --> 00:22:54,000
boarders read.

428
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,569
We should pick with opportunity strategies posted the event

429
00:22:57,569 --> 00:23:00,849
and we're two day retreat and she said that she was a great

430
00:23:00,849 --> 00:23:04,000
retreat and I also believe it was a great retreat.

431
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
We had a lot of great goals that were accomplished.

432
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,789
The board of six working goals and identify tasks to align

433
00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:14,000
with the overall goals of the city.

434
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,430
As you recall, we broke out into groups to identify the

435
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:21,160
goals and the purpose of this discussion is to collectively

436
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,000
review all the goals listed on the sheet.

437
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,000
That's on your desk.

438
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,990
And to ensure that the goals are feasible and to address

439
00:23:30,990 --> 00:23:34,000
any other organizations that may be working on similar

440
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,269
calls, since we broke out in the different committees, we

441
00:23:37,269 --> 00:23:40,089
may have knowledge of who else is working on other

442
00:23:40,089 --> 00:23:41,000
objectives.

443
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,190
And so I want to make sure that we're all working on this

444
00:23:44,190 --> 00:23:47,000
together and we're checking off the boxes.

445
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,900
Our goal is to share this with city council during an

446
00:23:49,900 --> 00:23:53,000
upcoming work session, either in July or August.

447
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,269
And this won't be the primary focus will be general

448
00:23:57,269 --> 00:24:02,180
economic development update, but we will share this work

449
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:03,000
plan.

450
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,190
So, as a disclaimer, we're here to innovate if something

451
00:24:06,190 --> 00:24:09,009
has been done in the past, it doesn't mean we have to

452
00:24:09,009 --> 00:24:11,420
continue down the same avenue. And there's multiple ways to

453
00:24:11,420 --> 00:24:12,000
accomplish some of these goals.

454
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,200
So it doesn't have to just be one goal that we work on. We

455
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,000
can do this in multiple ways.

456
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,000
So that's my goal here. I don't have a presentation.

457
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,589
Alicia said that we probably need an hour for this. I don't

458
00:24:24,589 --> 00:24:29,000
know how much time do we have right now. Let's see.

459
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,410
Oh, we have about maybe three minutes. Unless you want to

460
00:24:33,410 --> 00:24:37,000
go over a little bit. Chair, what do you think?

461
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,579
I mean, when would that be another better time? I mean, if

462
00:24:39,579 --> 00:24:42,460
we don't have a bunch on the agenda now might not be a bad

463
00:24:42,460 --> 00:24:43,000
idea.

464
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,970
Unless you think you would be more productive to have

465
00:24:45,970 --> 00:24:47,000
members here.

466
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,839
That's kind of my only that's I know Amy was really

467
00:24:50,839 --> 00:24:56,000
involved with this and then it's a bright feedback as well.

468
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,900
I mean, you don't think that it would be better to have

469
00:24:58,900 --> 00:25:02,000
more of a committee that's just the bare minimum form.

470
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:07,140
Yes. Yeah. Why don't we just put it on? Questions now. Yeah

471
00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:09,000
. If you have questions, we can certainly address.

472
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,369
We go over it. But I think it would make sense to do a more

473
00:25:12,369 --> 00:25:16,000
formal presentation when more of the board can be here.

474
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,789
Okay, sounds good. Do you want to work through them just in

475
00:25:17,789 --> 00:25:21,440
case? And I can always go over these individually with

476
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,000
Brian and Amy, whoever else may not be here.

477
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Very to address their concerns is the goal that consultant

478
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
she wants to make this visually appealing.

479
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,319
And so we listen this back to her pretty quickly so she can

480
00:25:35,319 --> 00:25:37,000
also pay sort of on a time.

481
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,289
And and the presentation, the City Council is coming up in

482
00:25:41,289 --> 00:25:45,829
July. We have to post like a week or so. There's still time

483
00:25:45,829 --> 00:25:46,000
.

484
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,809
I can be with them individually, too. Okay. So the first

485
00:25:50,809 --> 00:25:54,000
goal on your first development to establish a task force.

486
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,269
The stakeholders to cultivate resilient, future ready

487
00:25:58,269 --> 00:26:00,000
talent under strategies.

488
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,819
This group said under one point one, create a task force by

489
00:26:04,819 --> 00:26:07,619
building relationships that include universities, ISDs,

490
00:26:07,619 --> 00:26:11,000
employers and nonprofits.

491
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,400
That includes CTE included in task force and United Way, DC

492
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,829
W, SLT, the young professionals group to build soft skills

493
00:26:20,829 --> 00:26:22,000
and problem solving.

494
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,650
And then the third template from the city of Fort Worth and

495
00:26:26,650 --> 00:26:29,599
TIA. Is there anyone that served on this committee here

496
00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:31,000
that maybe want to comment?

497
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,730
Well, Jamie may serve on this one. I feel like Kim, you did

498
00:26:34,730 --> 00:26:38,000
too. Maybe Jason. One point.

499
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,230
What is DCW SLT? That's a great question. So remember how

500
00:26:43,230 --> 00:26:47,970
everyone wrote down notes and with note cards to that's

501
00:26:47,970 --> 00:26:52,000
what the consultant put down on this list.

502
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,880
And so she wasn't aware of what that is. But Jamie, I

503
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,509
believe you may have served. No, Christina Davis on our

504
00:26:58,509 --> 00:27:00,000
team. She just recently retired.

505
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,819
This is a group put on with United Way and Workforce

506
00:27:02,819 --> 00:27:06,000
Solutions, the Chamber and other organizations.

507
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,000
They meet monthly or quarterly.

508
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,440
So she was primarily handed in that task group. I think

509
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,150
they've kind of been on the back burner, but I think there

510
00:27:18,150 --> 00:27:21,930
's probably an opportunity to work with them to improve

511
00:27:21,930 --> 00:27:24,000
whatever their goals are.

512
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,839
Great. And we don't want to recreate the wheels. So if that

513
00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:30,119
's something that's already happening, maybe we can just

514
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,000
have some kind of conduit for information with that.

515
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,579
And then the young professionals, is that the current young

516
00:27:37,579 --> 00:27:40,000
professionals group at the Chamber?

517
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,390
I believe that's what they're referring to. Yes. And then

518
00:27:43,390 --> 00:27:48,019
can we get a copy of the template from the city of Fort

519
00:27:48,019 --> 00:27:50,000
Worth and whatever TIA is?

520
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Yes. So we can see that. Okay. I don't know what TIA is.

521
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,150
The city of Fort Worth is the Mayor's Fort Worth Council on

522
00:27:57,150 --> 00:28:00,000
our education and workforce development.

523
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,650
And yes, and then we were put together. But yes, I can get

524
00:28:04,650 --> 00:28:06,849
that template of how they do it. They do quarterly meetings

525
00:28:06,849 --> 00:28:08,000
. So I'll grab that.

526
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,579
Just to see what that is. We've got more information as we

527
00:28:11,579 --> 00:28:16,019
try to push out what the steps might be for making sure we

528
00:28:16,019 --> 00:28:18,000
're not duplicating.

529
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,309
And then let's keep going. And can we just raise our hand

530
00:28:21,309 --> 00:28:23,000
if we have questions or comments?

531
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:30,009
Sure. This is an important discussion. Yes. Feel free. I

532
00:28:30,009 --> 00:28:30,460
was going to take it out of the way of what you all said. I

533
00:28:30,460 --> 00:28:30,859
would tag the Chamber under young professionals only

534
00:28:30,859 --> 00:28:33,000
because there's lots of young professional groups in the

535
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,000
community.

536
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,500
So if you want one strategic partner, we're happy to be

537
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:37,000
there. Okay.

538
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:57,000
[inaudible]

539
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,269
I mean, I just have a question as to whether, more

540
00:29:01,269 --> 00:29:07,000
specifically, and I would think the county.

541
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,599
They may already serve on that committee. I haven't had an

542
00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:12,000
opportunity to make it out until the meeting on my team.

543
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,789
She's on vacation now. She usually attends. And then Jamie,

544
00:29:14,789 --> 00:29:17,000
I think you've attended a meeting, right?

545
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,269
I have not attended one. They were quarterly. And since

546
00:29:21,269 --> 00:29:22,930
Christina was tired, I have not attended one yet. But I am

547
00:29:22,930 --> 00:29:25,000
on the email.

548
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,190
I was reviewing my notes at the retreat and when she was

549
00:29:28,190 --> 00:29:33,019
giving the Georgia example, she has TIA's targeted industry

550
00:29:33,019 --> 00:29:34,000
analysis.

551
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:57,210
No, I wasn't that. Didn't County workforce success

552
00:29:57,210 --> 00:29:58,000
leadership team. Thank you.

553
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:07,650
I think I'm going to need more words. So a lot of these

554
00:30:07,650 --> 00:30:10,180
beings I've said it over the past 20 years for workforce

555
00:30:10,180 --> 00:30:13,529
development. It is like no disrespect, but it is the United

556
00:30:13,529 --> 00:30:14,000
way.

557
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,269
Texas work for all the one and they're just giving you a

558
00:30:18,269 --> 00:30:22,130
bunch of stats, right? And I get more really quickly and

559
00:30:22,130 --> 00:30:26,460
leave. I think we need people like industry in town saying

560
00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:30,000
this is how we these are the skills that we need from

561
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:30,000
people.

562
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,640
And with T. W. and Texas and didn't ask the saying this is

563
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,279
the curriculum. We need you to write for this. I know the

564
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:40,740
president of you and teeth. I had dinner with him a few

565
00:30:40,740 --> 00:30:44,000
months ago and that was one of his main questions.

566
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,940
What programs do we need to be standing up to actually have

567
00:30:47,940 --> 00:30:50,509
the skills? Because people walk in my office with college

568
00:30:50,509 --> 00:30:54,000
education. They don't know. They're not ready.

569
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,019
You know, they don't they don't have to ask us specifically

570
00:30:57,019 --> 00:31:00,000
those. What are the skills so we can design classes?

571
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Because I think you and he's hearing that from.

572
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,839
So I think some kind of coral takes his work for commission

573
00:31:05,839 --> 00:31:09,599
United way doing great work, but we need the business is

574
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:13,000
telling us we need to be able to read about sheet.

575
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,430
You know, force for this size of business or we need these

576
00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:21,680
guys to be able to do a marketing plan digital marketing

577
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,579
plan or whatever that is. So I think engaging HR from the

578
00:31:26,579 --> 00:31:31,079
actual business small businesses and large businesses in

579
00:31:31,079 --> 00:31:33,190
town because that's kind of two different curriculums,

580
00:31:33,190 --> 00:31:34,000
right?

581
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,460
That should be our focus to try to engage those guys at the

582
00:31:37,460 --> 00:31:40,849
highest level get their times going to be our but if they

583
00:31:40,849 --> 00:31:44,130
see like, hey, we're really we went back and put some

584
00:31:44,130 --> 00:31:47,240
classes together at you and more taxes to be able to

585
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,000
provide this or bit nice in the welding program.

586
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,329
Whatever. That's where we have to engage and that's what

587
00:31:54,329 --> 00:31:57,789
the Fort Worth Mayor's Council does it is Lockheed Martin.

588
00:31:57,789 --> 00:32:01,470
It's bell with the universities in the same room. That's

589
00:32:01,470 --> 00:32:04,000
exactly and that's why it's so successful.

590
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,269
You know the nonprofits involved and it's becomes a money

591
00:32:08,269 --> 00:32:12,250
raising thing and I don't mean that in a bad way, but they

592
00:32:12,250 --> 00:32:16,440
they're in front of business owners now they're trying to

593
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,930
raise money and step we need to make sure that it's

594
00:32:19,930 --> 00:32:23,000
actually what our goal is narrow.

595
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,880
What kind of test course we need because again, there are

596
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,109
all these other groups doing different components. What is

597
00:32:31,109 --> 00:32:34,000
it that we're saying is not being done.

598
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,839
And the person that runs this I know that he would come

599
00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:42,000
here and show you how he established it and how it runs it.

600
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,559
Well, I think the city of San Antonio a few years ago they

601
00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:50,769
set aside general fund monies to support workforce

602
00:32:50,769 --> 00:32:54,000
development from the entire city.

603
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
I thought we're very innovative.

604
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,000
So maybe that's eventually maybe we'll get to.

605
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,630
Everything the thing that came out of this meeting, what I

606
00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:09,259
remember the most is if we have qualified workforce and can

607
00:33:09,259 --> 00:33:12,549
get a building permit quickly. That's if I remember I may

608
00:33:12,549 --> 00:33:13,990
be wrong but if I remember the top two things that came out

609
00:33:13,990 --> 00:33:17,410
of that how quick can we get you to work and can we get

610
00:33:17,410 --> 00:33:18,000
people.

611
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,730
Even to the point that the consultant said incentives don't

612
00:33:21,730 --> 00:33:25,000
even matter as much if you can do those two things.

613
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,380
And say those two things again get a permit quickly and get

614
00:33:29,380 --> 00:33:33,519
their building open and have people to fill it and work

615
00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:38,000
that that means more than even.

616
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,000
That's right.

617
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000
There you go.

618
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,440
So we back up and I know that we're kind of getting on this

619
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,000
little bit of it.

620
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
So we put in nonprofits.

621
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,670
We have anyway we're not seeing like anyway but what are we

622
00:33:50,670 --> 00:33:53,000
seeking from the nonprofit.

623
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,000
I think well it depends on what their goals are.

624
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
I think their goals.

625
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000
This is our goal.

626
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Yes.

627
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Okay.

628
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,000
So what is our goal.

629
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,000
What are we seeking to get from that.

630
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,039
Our goal is to collaborate and have priority objectives

631
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:08,820
like Lee saying he says there's a needs engaged with

632
00:34:08,820 --> 00:34:12,000
industry to get feedback on what skills that they need.

633
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,389
Do we feel like other groups are doing a satisfactory job

634
00:34:15,389 --> 00:34:18,510
or should we actually implement new programming we

635
00:34:18,510 --> 00:34:21,880
facilitate and creating a mayor's group to do something

636
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,280
similar where all the right parties are involved or do we

637
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,329
utilize this word to actually do it ourselves and put on

638
00:34:28,329 --> 00:34:29,000
those events.

639
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Right.

640
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
It just it could be anything.

641
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
So that's kind of the goal.

642
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,840
I based on that goal I can see the businesses in the

643
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,000
education piece but I'm not tying in the nonprofit.

644
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,909
So I guess I need someone to explain what value the

645
00:34:44,909 --> 00:34:47,000
nonprofit is going to provide.

646
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,800
They would just probably be a partner because they work

647
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,909
with workforce solutions workforce solutions is a division

648
00:34:52,909 --> 00:34:55,000
of the Texas Workforce Commission.

649
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,889
There's all types of skills development grants that they

650
00:34:57,889 --> 00:35:00,349
can help us with and they may be working on similar

651
00:35:00,349 --> 00:35:03,000
initiatives with specific industry partners.

652
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,630
But maybe it's just prompting us to work with them to learn

653
00:35:06,630 --> 00:35:10,000
more about their goals is how we can collaborate.

654
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,179
It's premature to consider the nonprofits of what we want

655
00:35:13,179 --> 00:35:15,000
to do and do you mind if I speak up.

656
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,329
Yeah, I think as opposed to trying to create another

657
00:35:19,329 --> 00:35:22,409
organization I think at least initially, it should be this

658
00:35:22,409 --> 00:35:23,000
group.

659
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,610
That actually listens to what kind of template there's been

660
00:35:27,610 --> 00:35:32,139
in the past and potentially ourselves put together a group

661
00:35:32,139 --> 00:35:36,159
meeting where we can ask the right people the right

662
00:35:36,159 --> 00:35:40,000
questions and then try to figure out how to implement that.

663
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,269
I mean, this is just a suggestion but I just don't want to

664
00:35:44,269 --> 00:35:50,000
create a bunch of other administration and red tape.

665
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,030
I think that's something that that's what kind of this

666
00:35:52,030 --> 00:35:54,090
group is trying to get the right people in the room and so

667
00:35:54,090 --> 00:35:56,219
we probably have the right people here that at least know

668
00:35:56,219 --> 00:35:58,000
the right people.

669
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:04,000
I'm just going to keep saying people.

670
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
It seems like we used to have quarterly meeting.

671
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,769
I don't know whether sponsored by the chamber or this great

672
00:36:09,769 --> 00:36:10,000
.

673
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,969
But it was usually held at a business location and we have

674
00:36:14,969 --> 00:36:19,940
people come talk about this kind of thing to try to inform

675
00:36:19,940 --> 00:36:24,000
the community of what things were headed.

676
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
The last one I remember was out of the airport.

677
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,599
Three or four years ago I haven't seen one since I could

678
00:36:30,599 --> 00:36:32,000
have been asleep.

679
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:38,929
I mean, it seems like this group may be taking more lead is

680
00:36:38,929 --> 00:36:41,000
a correct answer.

681
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
I like it.

682
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,690
And sometimes when we implement new programs we just hear

683
00:36:45,690 --> 00:36:48,000
feedback that oh so and so is working on this.

684
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
That's why we're just covering all of our faces.

685
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,000
That's really difficult.

686
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Thank you for sharing that.

687
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,760
Well, I think also we're kind of preventing if we have a

688
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,579
nonprofit in there that we're thinking so and so is going

689
00:36:57,579 --> 00:37:00,449
to this is another party that we're going to be looking for

690
00:37:00,449 --> 00:37:03,000
answers and if they don't do it and they're a piece of it.

691
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,000
And where does that leave us?

692
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Right.

693
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Right.

694
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,449
So I think if we're going to I don't know that nonprofit

695
00:37:11,449 --> 00:37:17,210
maybe an answer, but it needs to be aligned with like there

696
00:37:17,210 --> 00:37:20,000
needs to be something we're going to benefit from.

697
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Not just have an online is awesome.

698
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Great point.

699
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,000
I like it.

700
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,000
All right.

701
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Be ready to be loved.

702
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,369
And so the next school here is a program resources and

703
00:37:32,369 --> 00:37:36,000
messaging campaigns from T.W.C.

704
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,840
didn't I see the whole industries and CTC by level was

705
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:44,000
entry level professional and advanced.

706
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,800
I don't know one database that collects all this

707
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,159
information I'll say that our team is releasing a website

708
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:54,000
that we also want this is called opportunity.com.

709
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,760
So maybe that's a personal workforce resources or maybe

710
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,000
another maybe we create marketing materials.

711
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Any comments on this one.

712
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,079
All right. Well the next one one point three is established

713
00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:15,050
and actually working committees from the task force based

714
00:38:15,050 --> 00:38:16,000
on industry.

715
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:22,000
So they wrote aviation media logistics defense

716
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:28,000
manufacturing.

717
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Does anyone have anything else to add here.

718
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,269
I think that we just invite those businesses that are here

719
00:38:35,269 --> 00:38:39,019
that are part of these industries into this template for

720
00:38:39,019 --> 00:38:43,920
this model that we're going to try to set up after this

721
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,000
table.

722
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:52,079
And we might also utilize what the chamber has done as far

723
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:58,280
as they put together groups depending on industry to talk

724
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,000
about.

725
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,449
So what is it that they're happening in that industry so I

726
00:39:01,449 --> 00:39:02,000
don't go.

727
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,000
So what is it that is discussed.

728
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Is it I know they've been like roundtables.

729
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
So it would be like a targeted advisory group.

730
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,750
So we look at aviation it would be a targeted advisory

731
00:39:13,750 --> 00:39:17,510
group on aviation focusing on whether it's the current F.P.

732
00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:20,550
O. there that airport management and then recruitment and

733
00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:23,420
retention of businesses and whatnot to try to figure out

734
00:39:23,420 --> 00:39:25,000
just that industry sector.

735
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:31,000
And then we also have a lot of the

736
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,980
industry that is going to be the one that is going to be

737
00:39:33,980 --> 00:39:35,000
the most important part of that to manufacturing.

738
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,760
I think that's the one most recently is manufacturing

739
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,039
heater bills and the team out there to try to figure out

740
00:39:42,039 --> 00:39:43,000
what do they need.

741
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,769
Are we meeting it. Are we following short of it. How do we

742
00:39:45,769 --> 00:39:47,000
exceed it.

743
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,289
We could have something where Jamie could add that into his

744
00:39:51,289 --> 00:39:55,000
reporting on the last meeting to this meeting.

745
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,269
These are the industry specific roundtables that advance

746
00:39:59,269 --> 00:40:02,000
the economic goals.

747
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,250
He would be I'm sure I can't speak for him but I'm sure he

748
00:40:05,250 --> 00:40:08,550
would be happy to provide updates from like listening

749
00:40:08,550 --> 00:40:11,000
sessions that occurred out there.

750
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,630
Jamie I'm sorry as far as what is discussed in those roundt

751
00:40:14,630 --> 00:40:18,000
ables does it include what is it that you all need.

752
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,289
What are what are these groups looking for in a lot of this

753
00:40:21,289 --> 00:40:24,000
response to business for just expansion.

754
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,000
You hear roads here.

755
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,340
Workforce and whatever the issues are we come back and

756
00:40:32,340 --> 00:40:35,000
share that information.

757
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,539
It hasn't been that targeted from my standpoint by everyone

758
00:40:39,539 --> 00:40:42,000
to come here about.

759
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Workforce everyone can hear about the career centers.

760
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,840
Yes we can get more targeted in smaller rooms and more

761
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,000
specific topics.

762
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,630
So we're looking at the same perspective to the chambers

763
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,630
one piece of this ecosystem that we also have still coming

764
00:40:59,630 --> 00:41:01,000
out of our department as well.

765
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,599
And so we just posted aviation roundtable at the airport

766
00:41:04,599 --> 00:41:07,000
because we own the airport right.

767
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,429
And so we met with several aviation companies on the site

768
00:41:10,429 --> 00:41:13,650
to hear more about the challenges and how the city can

769
00:41:13,650 --> 00:41:16,000
better provide services to them.

770
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,489
So we offer that as well and then Stoke has their own small

771
00:41:19,489 --> 00:41:21,000
business services.

772
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,940
And so I know they host lines for like our groups for like

773
00:41:25,940 --> 00:41:29,000
media professionals as well.

774
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,190
So do we want to maybe we just have more of a focus on the

775
00:41:32,190 --> 00:41:36,000
roundtables for these industries and we just promote it.

776
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,829
So whether the chamber does or someone else does that we

777
00:41:38,829 --> 00:41:40,000
just promote them.

778
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
How does that sound.

779
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,619
So what we want to know is what are these industries

780
00:41:47,619 --> 00:41:52,000
looking for in the employee need.

781
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,429
So if they're already meeting let's just have them be asked

782
00:41:55,429 --> 00:41:56,000
that.

783
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,000
So it's a creating more city for work as it is.

784
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
They have this working committee.

785
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,880
They have all these people that are from the businesses of

786
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,000
the higher education.

787
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,269
And then if they're like a media we want to do more Taylor

788
00:42:10,269 --> 00:42:11,000
Sheridan.

789
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,449
They have a subcommittee that breaks off the meets

790
00:42:13,449 --> 00:42:14,000
virtually.

791
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,949
But they do the quarterly in-person meetings with everybody

792
00:42:15,949 --> 00:42:17,000
at the table and knock it out.

793
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Don't waste anybody's time.

794
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,000
And then if there's more in depth you do your subcommittee.

795
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Yeah I keep thinking that gets everybody's at the table.

796
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000
It just seems for.

797
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
We all these pockets.

798
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Because I need to go close because you know.

799
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,190
Who are we asking help of because it can always be the city

800
00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:41,000
incentivizing sometimes.

801
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,800
So she's the example where I came from because it's the

802
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,000
same thing's happening with a out now.

803
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,000
So the city I came from you got G a UPS.

804
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Other than the bus of urban and Churchill down.

805
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,460
But when Ford retooled their line everybody thought all

806
00:42:56,460 --> 00:42:58,000
they go there's all these jobs.

807
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,079
They did that work force actually increase what they needed

808
00:43:01,079 --> 00:43:02,000
with the problem.

809
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,269
I just had a real course for the math skills to recalibrate

810
00:43:06,269 --> 00:43:07,000
the line.

811
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,000
And so that's another problem.

812
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:16,349
Social but you know you had a time that Louisville was

813
00:43:16,349 --> 00:43:18,000
cutting out all of their remedial math and everything else.

814
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000
So just want to do it as a person going to put it back.

815
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,550
So how are you getting that communication to the university

816
00:43:22,550 --> 00:43:28,000
that there's a man there.

817
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Because we'll teach classes.

818
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,309
I mean that kind of group you're talking about everybody's

819
00:43:36,309 --> 00:43:37,000
at the table.

820
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
So you're in the same thing.

821
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,710
And if there's necessary for some committees what we do we

822
00:43:41,710 --> 00:43:44,429
meet and then we have to update at the next quarterly

823
00:43:44,429 --> 00:43:45,000
meeting.

824
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,000
And then we have to do that.

825
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:54,000
So that's the biggest problem.

826
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,679
The biggest problem in the industry as to use six foot of a

827
00:43:56,679 --> 00:43:58,000
tree.

828
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,019
There's only so many trees that you cut the first six foot

829
00:44:00,019 --> 00:44:01,000
lose all the rest of it.

830
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,869
So you got UK and UL right now researching trying to figure

831
00:44:04,869 --> 00:44:07,369
out if you could put stays together and not change the

832
00:44:07,369 --> 00:44:11,000
color and taste the taste of art.

833
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:15,000
None of that would have ever happened.

834
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,840
The university is too busy doing whatever it's doing and

835
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,630
not listening to the business who's saying I have a need

836
00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:21,000
here.

837
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,000
I'm all interested in this bourbon.

838
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,500
I think we should try the bourbon from the six foot tree

839
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:31,000
versus the five foot tree.

840
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
That's a good point. Excellent point.

841
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,010
So really this board just needs to be the lead of

842
00:44:35,010 --> 00:44:38,000
collecting that data from whether it's doing some of this.

843
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,760
Maybe it's a small committee or maybe it's the chamber

844
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,000
having the roundtables or if we're providing a roundtable,

845
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,010
we need to make sure that all the boards invited and we

846
00:44:46,010 --> 00:44:48,739
report that data because I think that's the way that's

847
00:44:48,739 --> 00:44:50,000
structured right now.

848
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,469
We're all we're all working on it. It's just how do we make

849
00:44:54,469 --> 00:44:58,000
sure that this board's involved.

850
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:10,269
Excellent. Let's see what has any other comments on that

851
00:45:10,269 --> 00:45:12,000
one. Real quick going back on the goodwill industry. So

852
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:12,000
what is what is that program's resources and messaging and

853
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:12,000
I just educate me on what goodwill industries would provide

854
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:12,000
there.

855
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:17,000
So goodwill and remind you I did not put these together.

856
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,710
This was a group. I think Kim and Stany serve on this group

857
00:45:20,710 --> 00:45:21,000
.

858
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,480
Goodwill in certain areas of Texas, they will provide like

859
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,110
workforce centers providing they'll actually open up center

860
00:45:28,110 --> 00:45:31,460
about their goodwill facilities to help people apply for

861
00:45:31,460 --> 00:45:32,000
jobs.

862
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,539
I'll help them with resumes. I'll help them with skills

863
00:45:35,539 --> 00:45:36,760
development. And so that's how we would be connected to

864
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:43,000
that. That's something we're interested in.

865
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:48,730
Ready to go the next one. And goal number two, business

866
00:45:48,730 --> 00:45:52,300
retention expansion. As to grow and strengthen existing

867
00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:54,539
businesses and didn't by identifying and addressing local

868
00:45:54,539 --> 00:45:56,989
business needs, providing quality assistance and ensuring

869
00:45:56,989 --> 00:46:00,559
access to resources that support business retention and

870
00:46:00,559 --> 00:46:02,000
expansion.

871
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,269
Item two point one is an advisory board council at

872
00:46:06,269 --> 00:46:11,199
potential task force. So multiple requests for task force

873
00:46:11,199 --> 00:46:15,739
here. Two point two is a silver tsunami connection to host

874
00:46:15,739 --> 00:46:18,000
small business workshops.

875
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,840
And they put review and connect with small business

876
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:26,199
resource partners develop plan identified by industry and

877
00:46:26,199 --> 00:46:30,699
include finance reverse job fair section planning for small

878
00:46:30,699 --> 00:46:32,000
businesses.

879
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,800
And I believe this goal is probably just to coordinate all

880
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:41,909
the small, small business resources into one, which we can

881
00:46:41,909 --> 00:46:46,760
use an opportunity to use another avenue. I have any

882
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,000
suggestions. Any comments on that?

883
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,269
The next one is two point three. And that's decide on BRE

884
00:46:52,269 --> 00:46:56,119
software that is shared with the city in the chamber. I did

885
00:46:56,119 --> 00:47:00,199
look into this and this was recommended in the chamber work

886
00:47:00,199 --> 00:47:10,000
plan for F.Y. 2526. Any updates on that? Jamie or Aaron?

887
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:17,210
No, ideally, we want to be able to communicate together and

888
00:47:17,210 --> 00:47:21,280
share a CRM. So I guess the question is, do we get access

889
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,000
to yours or do we have to create a new one or what?

890
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,750
It was really creative new and I did check with our

891
00:47:26,750 --> 00:47:29,820
technology department and they said that it would be a

892
00:47:29,820 --> 00:47:34,079
necessary risk. It would if we were to give a contractor

893
00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:35,000
access.

894
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,420
That's new because we did used to share, but we have new

895
00:47:38,420 --> 00:47:42,099
rules and standards. And I think back then this was

896
00:47:42,099 --> 00:47:46,230
different leadership for the new board members. There's

897
00:47:46,230 --> 00:47:48,000
been six different directors over the past fifteen years.

898
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:52,269
And so not everything has been clean and functional. So

899
00:47:52,269 --> 00:47:55,300
that provides a large risk if an outside party was to gain

900
00:47:55,300 --> 00:47:59,000
access to our customer relationship management database.

901
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,769
What are you asking? And you're saying we should have a

902
00:48:01,769 --> 00:48:04,579
shared BRE, but now you're saying we can't have a shared B

903
00:48:04,579 --> 00:48:06,000
RE. This was recommended.

904
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,269
So it's the request that the chamber creates it and you all

905
00:48:10,269 --> 00:48:14,019
access to it because it not feels like you want us to take

906
00:48:14,019 --> 00:48:17,329
the risk. Does that make sense? So you guys aren't willing

907
00:48:17,329 --> 00:48:20,500
to go or legal doesn't allow, but you want us to do it and

908
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:21,000
allow.

909
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Technology, we cannot label.

910
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,829
If we want to allow, then legal probably won't allow it

911
00:48:27,829 --> 00:48:31,059
either. And it would be essentially like if you were going

912
00:48:31,059 --> 00:48:33,000
to share your database with outside parties.

913
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,679
We did. We have providers that helps us with online banking

914
00:48:36,679 --> 00:48:40,590
and everything else. Like whenever you pull up an app on

915
00:48:40,590 --> 00:48:44,539
your phone for your banking, like your bank can go and

916
00:48:44,539 --> 00:48:47,000
create an IT team and develop that.

917
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,880
Like there's a part of that. That's where we kind of talk

918
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,000
in the meeting is there's gotta be some kind of agreement.

919
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,320
So I guess where I would let me just let's revisit this

920
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:57,000
later.

921
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,269
But I guess what I would ask is that whoever is responsible

922
00:49:01,269 --> 00:49:04,829
with the city for that, why don't they come and present

923
00:49:04,829 --> 00:49:08,820
here and let's have a discussion about what is possible,

924
00:49:08,820 --> 00:49:11,000
not what is not possible.

925
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,400
Make a recommendation. Well, I think I've managed to be a

926
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,559
reprogrammed in the past and so there's multiple ways to

927
00:49:17,559 --> 00:49:21,000
achieve this goal. And that's not necessarily the same.

928
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,079
We have our own city projects that we work on that are

929
00:49:24,079 --> 00:49:27,289
private and if that information were to get out, then

930
00:49:27,289 --> 00:49:30,000
sometimes that could cause a large risk.

931
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:34,329
So there's survey monkey. There's other databases that you

932
00:49:34,329 --> 00:49:38,019
can use where everybody can if Jamie's meeting with a

933
00:49:38,019 --> 00:49:42,530
business, then he can enter the data. We all have access to

934
00:49:42,530 --> 00:49:43,000
it.

935
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,809
Or maybe he just has access to it and we just have them

936
00:49:45,809 --> 00:49:49,179
complete a survey because we do various well, right? We're

937
00:49:49,179 --> 00:49:50,000
collecting that data.

938
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,269
There's just there's multiple ways to accomplish the same

939
00:49:54,269 --> 00:49:57,730
goal. It's not just the way we've done it in the past,

940
00:49:57,730 --> 00:50:00,340
which Aaron's referring to. So I guess the question is how

941
00:50:00,340 --> 00:50:01,000
do we make it a two way street instead of a one way street?

942
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
The city won't share their information.

943
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,550
I don't care. We're all after the same goal. That's fine.

944
00:50:06,550 --> 00:50:08,699
We're not forgetting the business. We'll see it then if we

945
00:50:08,699 --> 00:50:11,429
want. And everything you have is open records requests

946
00:50:11,429 --> 00:50:13,000
anyway. So nothing you have to protect.

947
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:20,869
That's not everything. I think the opportunity is for

948
00:50:20,869 --> 00:50:22,550
Brittany and I to sit down and have a conversation about

949
00:50:22,550 --> 00:50:25,670
what to use. I think Jill or Jeremy's phrase, but we can do

950
00:50:25,670 --> 00:50:29,000
within the parameters that exist and then bring that back.

951
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,420
But I do think that the common core is we're doing the same

952
00:50:32,420 --> 00:50:34,820
jobs. We're doing them differently and we need to do them

953
00:50:34,820 --> 00:50:37,519
collaboratively together. So that could be a really great

954
00:50:37,519 --> 00:50:39,000
opportunity for this plan.

955
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,050
Right and Stoke also does it too. I mean, we're not the

956
00:50:40,050 --> 00:50:45,159
only department in the city that also looks on BRE. So I

957
00:50:45,159 --> 00:50:47,900
think the perspective has been from the Chamber and hasn't

958
00:50:47,900 --> 00:50:49,000
been from the city.

959
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,329
So we would like that consideration as well. So I don't

960
00:50:52,329 --> 00:50:54,820
think this should be a point of contention. We're working

961
00:50:54,820 --> 00:50:58,110
on other major projects right now. And so that's the

962
00:50:58,110 --> 00:50:59,000
priority.

963
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,000
But yes, we can be an after this and Jeremy can attend to.

964
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,000
We can just find another solution.

965
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,230
I don't think you're hearing us. I don't think you're

966
00:51:10,230 --> 00:51:12,630
hearing us because I don't mean to be tough, but I hear you

967
00:51:12,630 --> 00:51:15,280
think you got this crown of information that you want to

968
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,000
protect.

969
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,340
But at the end of the day, if it's going to be, I want to

970
00:51:19,340 --> 00:51:22,929
control this and I want to protect this, none of this is

971
00:51:22,929 --> 00:51:24,000
going to work. Right?

972
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,010
Because we got to look at all avenues because if I'm a

973
00:51:27,010 --> 00:51:30,159
business owner and I may or may not like who I'm dealing

974
00:51:30,159 --> 00:51:33,659
with at the city, we need to collectively put somebody else

975
00:51:33,659 --> 00:51:36,000
in place that that business may like.

976
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,489
Or if I'm dealing with the Chamber and I don't like Aaron

977
00:51:38,489 --> 00:51:41,090
or whoever at the Chamber, we may want to place and go, we

978
00:51:41,090 --> 00:51:44,119
're not getting anywhere with this. Let's put somebody else

979
00:51:44,119 --> 00:51:45,000
in here to help.

980
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,639
So that's what I'm not saying that I understand their

981
00:51:47,639 --> 00:51:50,340
strengths, but I want to make sure that our goal is the

982
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:53,039
same. It's not about I own this and I did this that our

983
00:51:53,039 --> 00:51:55,559
goal is to go get the businesses here and then we get

984
00:51:55,559 --> 00:51:58,000
employees and then however we get there.

985
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,090
That's how we do it. I agree. That is a goal for us, too. I

986
00:52:01,090 --> 00:52:03,000
am hearing you, Lee.

987
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,000
But I have not seen this in other cities that I worked in.

988
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,050
I've been an economic development for the past 15 years. I

989
00:52:08,050 --> 00:52:10,000
don't care if you see it in another city.

990
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,849
I've never done it, to be honest with you. It doesn't

991
00:52:12,849 --> 00:52:15,710
matter to me. I want to do what we can figure out to work

992
00:52:15,710 --> 00:52:18,000
best to get businesses and employees.

993
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,400
I think the underlying theme and how much does this cost

994
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,800
for the retreat? This cost, I'll have to look up, alright,

995
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,000
maybe $6,000. $6,000.

996
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,429
So one of the prevailing things which above was the reverse

997
00:52:31,429 --> 00:52:34,849
welfare and succession planning and all of that. I sense

998
00:52:34,849 --> 00:52:38,260
this, like I've heard a couple business people say that is

999
00:52:38,260 --> 00:52:41,000
a real issue and that they're having trouble.

1000
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,380
They're at the end of their career and they're trying to

1001
00:52:42,380 --> 00:52:45,690
fare well with you. So that's a known issue. The other

1002
00:52:45,690 --> 00:52:49,989
thing that was really a big issue was just working together

1003
00:52:49,989 --> 00:52:51,000
.

1004
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,269
This is an avenue to try to work together and for the

1005
00:52:55,269 --> 00:52:59,170
greater good of the city. And I think the city needs to

1006
00:52:59,170 --> 00:53:03,000
figure out a way that we can make that happen.

1007
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,349
Well, we can definitely do that. And if this is a priority

1008
00:53:06,349 --> 00:53:09,389
to you, this sharing data is a priority versus all the

1009
00:53:09,389 --> 00:53:13,300
other work-free items, then we can make it a priority. But

1010
00:53:13,300 --> 00:53:15,000
to me, we have other priorities.

1011
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,710
Then in that case, I think we're going to need additional

1012
00:53:17,710 --> 00:53:20,360
feedback back and I think we do need to delay this going to

1013
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,849
council from next month in July so we can really have a

1014
00:53:22,849 --> 00:53:25,000
time to go through it and look at it.

1015
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:29,500
Especially because the Chamber is contracted to do exactly

1016
00:53:29,500 --> 00:53:33,639
this, so we need to be very specific and not step on each

1017
00:53:33,639 --> 00:53:35,000
other's toes.

1018
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,000
But we can move on, right?

1019
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,260
Okay, this is recruitment to develop a robust plan to

1020
00:53:42,260 --> 00:53:45,929
utilize available research for recruitment targets while

1021
00:53:45,929 --> 00:53:49,599
achieving site readiness and availability and develop new

1022
00:53:49,599 --> 00:53:54,269
businesses through pilot programs and technology ecosystem

1023
00:53:54,269 --> 00:53:55,000
support.

1024
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,309
On 3.1, it says facilitate site readiness through a

1025
00:53:59,309 --> 00:54:04,000
certified site program for proactive development efforts.

1026
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,269
So Charlie Rosendahl, he's now the director of development

1027
00:54:08,269 --> 00:54:10,420
services. He stated that he wants to work with us to create

1028
00:54:10,420 --> 00:54:12,000
this program. So that's great.

1029
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:16,280
3.2 is review and update target industries in collaboration

1030
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:20,210
with UNT data, excluding regulatory prohibited businesses

1031
00:54:20,210 --> 00:54:24,690
and community priorities for business community and

1032
00:54:24,690 --> 00:54:26,000
citizens.

1033
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,739
So we didn't meet with him and Kim sent over a contact Ben

1034
00:54:29,739 --> 00:54:34,139
McGill who is working on regional workforce initiatives. He

1035
00:54:34,139 --> 00:54:37,610
's going to present to this board in July, which we may have

1036
00:54:37,610 --> 00:54:41,000
to postpone that July meeting to the end of the month.

1037
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,769
So, and they have worked on creating a regional industry

1038
00:54:45,769 --> 00:54:49,099
study just for workforce development is what we learned. It

1039
00:54:49,099 --> 00:54:51,739
's not necessarily for industry recruitment, but it is for

1040
00:54:51,739 --> 00:54:53,000
workforce development.

1041
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,500
So, something Alicia recommended was completing an industry

1042
00:54:56,500 --> 00:54:59,800
study through a consultant since our economic development

1043
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,039
strategic plan needs to be updated. It wasn't it was

1044
00:55:03,039 --> 00:55:07,000
created in 2020. And so we're about 6 years.

1045
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:12,489
Down the road, it's 87% completed. There's still a few

1046
00:55:12,489 --> 00:55:15,000
items that we need to work on.

1047
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,340
But let's see here. Yes, if that's something we're

1048
00:55:19,340 --> 00:55:23,780
interested in doing, then we need to ask council in the

1049
00:55:23,780 --> 00:55:28,000
future for budgeting funds for the consultant.

1050
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,320
Some another cities economic development agencies, they

1051
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,400
will do these ambitious studies. Corporate is a great

1052
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,889
example. Instead of completing a strategic plan. They did

1053
00:55:37,889 --> 00:55:40,920
that industry study where I did identified based on the

1054
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,280
existing businesses, which industries to recruit into the

1055
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:45,000
city.

1056
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,440
So they were able to land still dynamics and test the ref

1057
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,119
inery and purpose Christie, which created huge economic

1058
00:55:52,119 --> 00:55:55,570
impact in the region still dynamics is when the largest

1059
00:55:55,570 --> 00:55:58,000
still mills in the United States.

1060
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,440
They then brought on the suppliers. It's similar to a Peter

1061
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,769
belt. Right? And so that's something that we can focus on

1062
00:56:04,769 --> 00:56:08,000
versus maybe updating the strategic plan in the future.

1063
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:16,599
Is that something you're open to? We say additional budget.

1064
00:56:16,599 --> 00:56:18,000
I was what how much is that? It could range up 50 grand.

1065
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Or more potentially. I don't think we want to go 50 grand.

1066
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:34,929
I support maybe as the county for help because we go in

1067
00:56:34,929 --> 00:56:39,000
this budget season. Property taxes assessments are down.

1068
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,210
Sales taxes down. So we're not going to have more. We're

1069
00:56:42,210 --> 00:56:45,239
going to have less. So just we might look at partnering

1070
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,000
with other groups.

1071
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:52,289
I think that would be a great. And I'm happy to take it to

1072
00:56:52,289 --> 00:56:56,800
Andy if we put something together for me to share

1073
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,000
information with.

1074
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:04,000
We need to make sure we're okay.

1075
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:09,880
I'm going to use great. I utilize connections with existing

1076
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:15,650
local and countywide business leaders to recruit suppliers

1077
00:57:15,650 --> 00:57:18,000
to didn't. So that's something that we're going to do.

1078
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:22,760
That could be part of Jamie's plan as well. We're being

1079
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,449
already established programs and policies for pilot

1080
00:57:26,449 --> 00:57:29,329
programs and startup recruitment related mobility in the

1081
00:57:29,329 --> 00:57:31,000
technology ecosystem.

1082
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,329
We host the mobility summit earlier this year. We're

1083
00:57:34,329 --> 00:57:37,510
building up the framework of how to recruit some of those

1084
00:57:37,510 --> 00:57:40,909
mobility startups to the city right now. And so we may do

1085
00:57:40,909 --> 00:57:44,980
our chapter 380 policy update that will provide the next

1086
00:57:44,980 --> 00:57:46,000
few months.

1087
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,690
We may see some updates that can support research and

1088
00:57:50,690 --> 00:57:53,000
development funding.

1089
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:00,360
So that's one of them. Does anyone else have any ideas

1090
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,000
about to do this? Sorry, I don't have ideas. I have a

1091
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:03,000
question.

1092
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Are we talking about like unmanned cars? Like what is this?

1093
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,650
I don't know what a program or policy related to what kind

1094
00:58:12,650 --> 00:58:16,000
of mobility businesses would we be targeting?

1095
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:23,539
This is just my lack of knowledge. So drones because we're

1096
00:58:23,539 --> 00:58:24,829
looking at our low hanging fruits. You need to just go on

1097
00:58:24,829 --> 00:58:26,000
the largest testing facilities in Texas.

1098
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,190
The largest one before that was in focus Christie. So I

1099
00:58:29,190 --> 00:58:32,570
work closely with the loan source center and focus Christie

1100
00:58:32,570 --> 00:58:36,000
, who is one of seven FAA test sites in the entire nation.

1101
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,000
So they just strictly work on research and development with

1102
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,599
Texas A&M University. And so something I was working on

1103
00:58:43,599 --> 00:58:47,000
with them is to start a startup fund to recruit some of

1104
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,000
those businesses into focus Christie.

1105
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,449
But this is when I took this job. So now I'm here. What I

1106
00:58:54,449 --> 00:58:58,929
learned is that UNT Dr. Kamesh Navenduri has applied for a

1107
00:58:58,929 --> 00:59:01,000
grant to build that testing page.

1108
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,099
So there's opportunity to do the same thing here. There's a

1109
00:59:03,099 --> 00:59:05,269
lot of drone companies that are competing for the best

1110
00:59:05,269 --> 00:59:08,000
technology right now. We can recruit them in.

1111
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,530
UNT is also applying for additional federal grant funding

1112
00:59:12,530 --> 00:59:17,340
to support additional UAS like tracking systems and other

1113
00:59:17,340 --> 00:59:19,000
just equipment.

1114
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,929
We also have land around our airport. And so many of you

1115
00:59:21,929 --> 00:59:25,219
may be aware the airport master plan was completed earlier

1116
00:59:25,219 --> 00:59:26,000
this year.

1117
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,880
And so a vertical site was identified and we'd like to see

1118
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:34,010
if we can maybe implement test pilots for some of those UAS

1119
00:59:34,010 --> 00:59:36,000
companies there as well.

1120
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:41,019
So there's an opportunity. And then, but also UAS, but also

1121
00:59:41,019 --> 00:59:44,400
logistics and supply chain. So Brian's not here, but he can

1122
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:45,000
speak to it.

1123
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:49,269
He's investing heavily into R&D for autonomous digital

1124
00:59:49,269 --> 00:59:50,000
technology.

1125
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,070
I'm just going to stop you real quick. I think I've got

1126
00:59:53,070 --> 00:59:56,329
real concerns about how these next elections are going to

1127
00:59:56,329 --> 01:00:00,000
turn out and whether or not any of this is going to be

1128
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,000
implemented when it comes to the city.

1129
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,900
I don't know if you all saw that we had a unanimous vote in

1130
01:00:08,900 --> 01:00:13,539
this board to recommend the incentives to the drone

1131
01:00:13,539 --> 01:00:16,000
facility and it squeaked.

1132
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:21,349
Past. So, I mean, I'm just saying that, I mean, I think we

1133
01:00:21,349 --> 01:00:24,130
're on the right track. However, we also need to be cogniz

1134
01:00:24,130 --> 01:00:26,989
ant of the politics around all of this and either lay the

1135
01:00:26,989 --> 01:00:31,349
groundwork for it or abandoned for a time being, depending

1136
01:00:31,349 --> 01:00:32,000
on who gets in office.

1137
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:37,000
I mean, I'm just trying to be realistic with our time.

1138
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:42,230
Definitely paying attention to that right now, but I think

1139
01:00:42,230 --> 01:00:46,550
if this is drones are coming either way. And so, as they

1140
01:00:46,550 --> 01:00:48,820
innovate, maybe we can take advantage of it. And if we don

1141
01:00:48,820 --> 01:00:55,000
't, we need to pivot, then we pivot to another supply chain.

1142
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:09,110
I can sell that deal saving emissions. Saving emissions.

1143
01:01:09,110 --> 01:01:09,429
Look, we're saving the environment by drones. I don't want

1144
01:01:09,429 --> 01:01:09,710
to get us off-turn. It was a very rough city council. It

1145
01:01:09,710 --> 01:01:10,000
really was, Lee.

1146
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:18,000
I mean, it was very, I don't want to sit as a for failure.

1147
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:18,000
That's all.

1148
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:29,000
We can sell that. Love it. So, identify side readiness gaps

1149
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:29,000
, their cross reference of comprehensive and master plans

1150
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:29,000
across departments, quarterly meeting.

1151
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,530
So, this is a work in progress. Cassie, as an interim city

1152
01:01:33,530 --> 01:01:38,070
manager, she's really focused on making sure that we're all

1153
01:01:38,070 --> 01:01:42,650
collaborating and talking to each other. That'll be a work

1154
01:01:42,650 --> 01:01:47,170
in progress. But again, elections have a lot to do with all

1155
01:01:47,170 --> 01:01:50,239
this. So, but that's why I'm doing my best to make sure

1156
01:01:50,239 --> 01:01:52,000
that your voices are heard at the top.

1157
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,539
And Cassie Aubin, she cares. That's why she came here. She

1158
01:01:55,539 --> 01:01:59,199
had to leave another meeting, but we're doing our best. Let

1159
01:01:59,199 --> 01:02:01,000
me tell you. All right. Goal number four.

1160
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:05,820
I think that's critical. The communication in our

1161
01:02:05,820 --> 01:02:07,000
department.

1162
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,000
It is.

1163
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,000
It might make sense, but we can move on to number four. I

1164
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:13,000
just wanted to add that.

1165
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Thank you. All right. Customer service excellence to

1166
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,079
prioritize top downstream lining of customer facing effic

1167
01:02:19,079 --> 01:02:21,969
iencies throughout the development process to achieve

1168
01:02:21,969 --> 01:02:24,000
regional and statewide recognition.

1169
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,659
So, for four point one, develop recognition comprehension

1170
01:02:27,659 --> 01:02:31,289
from leadership regarding connection between development

1171
01:02:31,289 --> 01:02:35,000
service, services processes and economic development.

1172
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,840
So, as you saw, I'm passing here. I think that's going to

1173
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,400
make a difference. We're talking to our directors and

1174
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,250
capital projects and development services to see how we can

1175
01:02:46,250 --> 01:02:48,000
improve our process.

1176
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,590
But we have our own way of operating. So, it is the other

1177
01:02:51,590 --> 01:02:53,000
departments.

1178
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,000
And are you still attending the developer meetings?

1179
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:01,500
So, we haven't had any with the transition. I think we got

1180
01:03:01,500 --> 01:03:05,909
one scheduled, but we're working through the checklists

1181
01:03:05,909 --> 01:03:10,500
each compliance plan checklist, trying to get some get what

1182
01:03:10,500 --> 01:03:14,380
's needed early. Anyway, we're working through redoing the

1183
01:03:14,380 --> 01:03:18,000
checklist to streamline it to make it a little faster.

1184
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,760
And with Charlie getting that position, I think he's he's

1185
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:27,719
going to carry that torch. I think that's a very, very good

1186
01:03:27,719 --> 01:03:29,000
decision.

1187
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,000
The city position, I think it would be good to have Charlie

1188
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:37,369
come to speak to this group. So, everybody knows him

1189
01:03:37,369 --> 01:03:39,000
because he is.

1190
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:44,960
I think he does a great job. I think he did a great job. He

1191
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:49,730
's been in the city for 20 years. He's been here a long time

1192
01:03:49,730 --> 01:03:51,550
. So, he's established and I think he'll be established for

1193
01:03:51,550 --> 01:03:52,000
a while.

1194
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,630
That's what's hurt the city is to turn over. But I think

1195
01:03:54,630 --> 01:03:58,150
with development services, Charlie's working hard to get

1196
01:03:58,150 --> 01:04:00,000
some of those streamlined.

1197
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,690
But I think for him to hear the impact, not just from you

1198
01:04:03,690 --> 01:04:07,320
that has to get for doing your job to get a tenant here or

1199
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:11,099
business here to hear from all of us going, hey, this is

1200
01:04:11,099 --> 01:04:14,000
when we came out of our work session.

1201
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,659
This is actually all number four. I feel like it should be

1202
01:04:17,659 --> 01:04:19,000
going over to, but I don't care that much.

1203
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:24,880
But I wanted to make a point earlier that I think the

1204
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:30,289
numbering is not in order of importance. They're just

1205
01:04:30,289 --> 01:04:31,000
definitely the numbers.

1206
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,190
But I think either today or next time we should actually

1207
01:04:34,190 --> 01:04:37,579
work on what are the actual priorities that we feel are the

1208
01:04:37,579 --> 01:04:39,000
first to tackle this.

1209
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,349
We can't do everything at once. It's a separate time and it

1210
01:04:41,349 --> 01:04:44,139
'd be good to be on the same page as far as let's accomplish

1211
01:04:44,139 --> 01:04:45,000
this and this.

1212
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:50,349
I think something that I can come to one of those. Sure. It

1213
01:04:50,349 --> 01:04:52,489
's actually just a small committee that he put together with

1214
01:04:52,489 --> 01:04:55,900
engineers and a couple of just to go through the checklist

1215
01:04:55,900 --> 01:04:58,000
to go where you got struggling.

1216
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,570
What do you get the most comments back on? He's really

1217
01:05:00,570 --> 01:05:03,289
working hard to say you people would have your mind going

1218
01:05:03,289 --> 01:05:05,000
through a checklist like that.

1219
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,710
But I'd love to see you there. But one of those, I think,

1220
01:05:08,710 --> 01:05:12,400
and then being able to represent the rest of council about

1221
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,269
what's happening might be helpful. And so that's why I'm

1222
01:05:15,269 --> 01:05:16,000
saying maybe we'll reach out to Charlie.

1223
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:21,000
Sorry for the sidebar. But I think what he's doing helps.

1224
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,000
This is already working on his part. He's working on it.

1225
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,250
So I don't know that we need a subcommittee for this. I

1226
01:05:27,250 --> 01:05:31,000
think Charlie is on his path.

1227
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:37,190
We can check. We did it. I think alongside Brittany, like

1228
01:05:37,190 --> 01:05:39,619
along with Brittany, Charlie's been working on the next one

1229
01:05:39,619 --> 01:05:42,239
or one down the road that's fostering relationships. So he

1230
01:05:42,239 --> 01:05:44,989
's been really getting out in the community, which I think

1231
01:05:44,989 --> 01:05:48,679
between the three of us that could be a really strong

1232
01:05:48,679 --> 01:05:50,000
partnership as well.

1233
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,519
He's he's for real. He said he does what he says he's going

1234
01:05:53,519 --> 01:05:57,119
to do. He follows up like he's he's good. He doesn't tell

1235
01:05:57,119 --> 01:06:00,190
you yes all the time because I mean, nobody in that

1236
01:06:00,190 --> 01:06:04,550
position can do that. But it's it's yes. But let's look at

1237
01:06:04,550 --> 01:06:07,000
what options.

1238
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:13,000
So he's

1239
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:24,000
right. All number four customers. So I'm already there. I'm

1240
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:24,000
sorry.

1241
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:28,269
All right. So goal number four customer service excellence

1242
01:06:28,269 --> 01:06:30,809
for workers top downstream when their customer facing

1243
01:06:30,809 --> 01:06:32,000
efficiency throughout.

1244
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:47,079
Did I say the 4.2 that I'm on. Yes. Advocate for fast

1245
01:06:47,079 --> 01:06:47,300
tracking policies and process with development services. We

1246
01:06:47,300 --> 01:06:47,530
discussed that 4.3 prioritize understanding the customer

1247
01:06:47,530 --> 01:06:47,750
facing impact of the development experience through inter

1248
01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:50,000
departmental actions and planning portal meetings.

1249
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,269
I think that's key because I think the above the services,

1250
01:06:54,269 --> 01:06:59,079
not just development services, but engineering. That's like

1251
01:06:59,079 --> 01:07:03,650
the next level. Right. We have third party engineers that

1252
01:07:03,650 --> 01:07:05,000
are based out of some out of Colorado.

1253
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:09,269
Some other places, I think, hearing from us that, hey, this

1254
01:07:09,269 --> 01:07:12,690
business, if it is from city council in this group, if this

1255
01:07:12,690 --> 01:07:16,190
business is a priority, those engineers and everybody

1256
01:07:16,190 --> 01:07:20,050
understanding, hey, we got to make sure this is right. We

1257
01:07:20,050 --> 01:07:21,000
don't want to do anything that's wrong.

1258
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:36,000
It's going to be a problem in the future. But making sure

1259
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:36,000
that they understand it's a priority from council. We've

1260
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:36,000
approved these incentives. This is a priority to help you

1261
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:36,000
with your job. We can't get a permit.

1262
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,119
Yes, we get them as well. And I think it also comes with D

1263
01:07:39,119 --> 01:07:42,579
BR tracking as well. That's something that I didn't focus.

1264
01:07:42,579 --> 01:07:46,309
Christie is with 100 businesses a year. Everyone wanted to

1265
01:07:46,309 --> 01:07:49,460
meet with me, but that's where you go and collect data and

1266
01:07:49,460 --> 01:07:51,000
then to report back.

1267
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,489
And then you're working with different entities. So I work

1268
01:07:53,489 --> 01:07:57,090
closely with the development services director to make sure

1269
01:07:57,090 --> 01:08:00,000
that those permitting processes were clear.

1270
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:08,000
All right. Goal number five foster relationships to connect

1271
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:08,000
existing entities and intentional ways to foster economic

1272
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:08,000
prosperity.

1273
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:21,199
I want one states to identify the players who needs to be

1274
01:08:21,199 --> 01:08:31,090
at the table and wants to participate. Who was served on

1275
01:08:31,090 --> 01:08:31,430
this group? Does anyone remember? Okay, five point to

1276
01:08:31,430 --> 01:08:31,750
develop an onboarding one on one. So when I got to the city

1277
01:08:31,750 --> 01:08:33,000
, there was an official onboarding process.

1278
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,270
They just believe staff would update the board with a

1279
01:08:36,270 --> 01:08:40,189
PowerPoint presentation orientation. Now we meet with them

1280
01:08:40,189 --> 01:08:45,689
one on one. So that Kim, I met with you. I met with Lucy to

1281
01:08:45,689 --> 01:08:51,000
discuss our board policies and what our goals are.

1282
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:55,270
Okay, so contracted partners, monthly check in relationship

1283
01:08:55,270 --> 01:08:58,569
building. I believe some of that is on our contracts

1284
01:08:58,569 --> 01:09:01,000
already with Stoke in the chamber.

1285
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:06,000
Five point four quarterly city and departmental meetings.

1286
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,770
That's stated twice. So I'm planning to delete one of those

1287
01:09:08,770 --> 01:09:09,000
.

1288
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:12,489
What are the other contracted partners? It's just the

1289
01:09:12,489 --> 01:09:16,000
chamber and so are there any others that you can still.

1290
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:20,850
Okay. And what is Stokes mission statement? You know,

1291
01:09:20,850 --> 01:09:22,000
generally.

1292
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:26,270
To support their entrepreneur hub and they provide co-re

1293
01:09:26,270 --> 01:09:29,770
view space and they also provide support for small

1294
01:09:29,770 --> 01:09:31,000
businesses.

1295
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:38,529
I have to get some. It's probably you all think it's silly,

1296
01:09:38,529 --> 01:09:45,760
but I think sometimes we're talking about fostering

1297
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:53,029
relationships. We can't call our partners contractors. I

1298
01:09:53,029 --> 01:09:54,630
think that's a new term. So I would love to just call each

1299
01:09:54,630 --> 01:09:55,000
other.

1300
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:59,270
Very maybe legally work contracted partner contract for

1301
01:09:59,270 --> 01:10:03,010
service. But I think the semantics of it, the word

1302
01:10:03,010 --> 01:10:04,000
contractor.

1303
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,180
Feels different. I know that's real touchy. It's a step

1304
01:10:07,180 --> 01:10:10,000
between or something.

1305
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:14,279
So, just work with city leadership and share goals and

1306
01:10:14,279 --> 01:10:19,250
impacts their development services and economic development

1307
01:10:19,250 --> 01:10:23,590
. We're actively we work with Christine and Cassie on a

1308
01:10:23,590 --> 01:10:25,000
daily basis. And so that is he worked on.

1309
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:30,069
University, I SD post listing sessions to identify

1310
01:10:30,069 --> 01:10:36,039
opportunities and synergies. So the city meets with you and

1311
01:10:36,039 --> 01:10:40,920
team TWA you want to quarterly basis. I believe to share

1312
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:42,000
common goals.

1313
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,909
And if that's something that and obviously both of you can

1314
01:10:45,909 --> 01:10:50,159
and Jason represent both universities on this board. Do you

1315
01:10:50,159 --> 01:10:54,189
feel like we should host more listening sessions from this

1316
01:10:54,189 --> 01:10:55,000
group?

1317
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,149
I think if we put together that workforce development

1318
01:10:58,149 --> 01:11:01,579
higher education committee that that will handle this and

1319
01:11:01,579 --> 01:11:07,000
we do need to the city. It's it's only plus a year.

1320
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:12,000
I also think there was a discussion of adding NCTC to this.

1321
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Yes, I think that there is a whole stream.

1322
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:24,250
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, number six storytelling to

1323
01:11:24,250 --> 01:11:28,140
create a strong story that encourages visitors businesses

1324
01:11:28,140 --> 01:11:31,920
and citizens to live work and invest includes time talent

1325
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,000
pressure and our unique community.

1326
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:38,270
Strategy six point one develop three to four elevator

1327
01:11:38,270 --> 01:11:41,000
pitches for economic development.

1328
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,449
I think that's an excellent idea. We can do a definitely a

1329
01:11:43,449 --> 01:11:47,000
better job promoting ourselves and some of our successes.

1330
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,170
Six point to tell the triangle story economic development

1331
01:11:50,170 --> 01:11:53,850
101 that tactics are part and shared by residents, tourists

1332
01:11:53,850 --> 01:11:55,000
and businesses.

1333
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,470
So we are hosting Council orientations right now. We met

1334
01:11:58,470 --> 01:12:02,819
with Jordan and Stevens a few weeks ago and we added a tax

1335
01:12:02,819 --> 01:12:07,670
triangle on their presentation added to our presentations

1336
01:12:07,670 --> 01:12:09,000
moving forward.

1337
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:13,270
Six point three utilize our existing new timelines and

1338
01:12:13,270 --> 01:12:17,859
phrases where creativity needs commerce into our stories,

1339
01:12:17,859 --> 01:12:22,300
which we've done that as well. Six point four onboarding

1340
01:12:22,300 --> 01:12:26,939
develop some of these are people that at least I'm going to

1341
01:12:26,939 --> 01:12:29,000
take some of these off.

1342
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:33,270
Six point five assign success stories by category. So

1343
01:12:33,270 --> 01:12:37,020
currently we're working on updating one pagers play will be

1344
01:12:37,020 --> 01:12:40,729
attending a bio life science conference in San Diego in the

1345
01:12:40,729 --> 01:12:42,000
next few weeks.

1346
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,449
That's in partnership with the Dallas regional chamber

1347
01:12:44,449 --> 01:12:47,520
chamber. That's another one of our partners that we work

1348
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:48,000
with.

1349
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:51,369
And we're going to update one papers for each industry, but

1350
01:12:51,369 --> 01:12:54,689
we can also start including success stories as well so that

1351
01:12:54,689 --> 01:12:57,869
you have those available to share six point six to create

1352
01:12:57,869 --> 01:13:00,000
inventory of success store.

1353
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:05,619
Sorry, split assignment. Okay, it's kind of the same six

1354
01:13:05,619 --> 01:13:11,380
point seven is little consistent aligned messaging. So, I

1355
01:13:11,380 --> 01:13:17,149
think between all of our partners, slash contractors we can

1356
01:13:17,149 --> 01:13:19,000
definitely do them.

1357
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:28,000
Do you know what the city stands on the overall

1358
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:34,000
comprehensive marketing.

1359
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:38,409
Our new board members, a city last year I believe maybe two

1360
01:13:38,409 --> 01:13:42,729
years ago, they were working on implementing a new brand

1361
01:13:42,729 --> 01:13:47,159
and campaign, and then we had financial challenges and so

1362
01:13:47,159 --> 01:13:49,000
they put a hole to it.

1363
01:13:49,000 --> 01:14:04,010
So it obviously costs a time to implement a new brand. So

1364
01:14:04,010 --> 01:14:04,239
it's good. It's actually a good thing that we updated our

1365
01:14:04,239 --> 01:14:04,489
marketing materials because we would not have anything to

1366
01:14:04,489 --> 01:14:04,689
work with right now. So we're just using our, our brand

1367
01:14:04,689 --> 01:14:05,000
until they get a new one.

1368
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,439
Who we need office should we recruit to see if we can

1369
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,000
recruit some money from the city.

1370
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,000
Yeah, we can.

1371
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:18,270
I think we have to have on this board. It's a city

1372
01:14:18,270 --> 01:14:20,000
ordinance so it would.

1373
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,250
It has to go before and I have made a pitch regarding

1374
01:14:23,250 --> 01:14:27,239
streamlining our boards and commissions and it adds changes

1375
01:14:27,239 --> 01:14:31,649
to this group as well. So I will be sure to make sure that

1376
01:14:31,649 --> 01:14:35,000
's included but no no no but unfortunately I mean and I wish

1377
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,000
it was not that way.

1378
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:41,340
But it is a city ordinance that has the makeup of this and

1379
01:14:41,340 --> 01:14:45,659
so we'll have to go before Council so, but I think it's a

1380
01:14:45,659 --> 01:14:50,159
great idea and I already made a note and I believe my, the

1381
01:14:50,159 --> 01:14:54,329
presentation on my pitch to help reduce some of our and

1382
01:14:54,329 --> 01:14:56,000
merge some of our boards and commissions

1383
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:00,270
because we have twice as many as cities, twice our size,

1384
01:15:00,270 --> 01:15:04,550
and we form issues, etc. Anyways, I think that's coming

1385
01:15:04,550 --> 01:15:08,000
within a couple of months, but I'm sorry.

1386
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:11,460
Oh, wonderful. Thank you. Actually, I'm going to email city

1387
01:15:11,460 --> 01:15:14,000
leadership.

1388
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,850
And that will help because we do have several boards and

1389
01:15:16,850 --> 01:15:19,619
that's one of our challenges too is we got conflicting

1390
01:15:19,619 --> 01:15:22,590
messaging from from this board from other boards and so we

1391
01:15:22,590 --> 01:15:25,460
have to be honest and what all of our stakeholders wanted

1392
01:15:25,460 --> 01:15:28,000
to we have over 52 board members.

1393
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,000
And so we're one of the smallest departments in the city.

1394
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,029
So, that's why we have to be strategic and what our

1395
01:15:34,029 --> 01:15:37,000
priorities are and what you want to do right.

1396
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,000
So any other additions to this.

1397
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:44,000
I have one comment.

1398
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:50,180
I'd rather see 6.2 be next to last. I hate negative things

1399
01:15:50,180 --> 01:15:52,000
up front.

1400
01:15:52,000 --> 01:16:05,460
It's a call on the rest of the items we're discussing when

1401
01:16:05,460 --> 01:16:13,000
we present to somebody else.

1402
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:21,520
Which one was that right 6.2 you said negative negative

1403
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:22,000
taxes.

1404
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:43,100
The problem with that one supplication is it's multifaceted

1405
01:16:43,100 --> 01:16:44,000
. So I mean, telling the triangle stories really about

1406
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:44,000
talking to the elected officials and giving them an under

1407
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:44,000
span your own invest in one of these or the other and

1408
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:44,000
triangle plays some conversation.

1409
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,840
You're gonna make it on the before development forward you

1410
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,239
got to educate more than one audience sometimes like

1411
01:16:51,239 --> 01:16:55,210
officials sometimes it's your public sometimes it's who are

1412
01:16:55,210 --> 01:16:57,000
we trying to recruit.

1413
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:58,979
This is for that audience but this these are for the same

1414
01:16:58,979 --> 01:17:00,000
these are the audience.

1415
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,229
But you make a good point because the messaging there's

1416
01:17:02,229 --> 01:17:04,369
positive words and negative words and help people hear

1417
01:17:04,369 --> 01:17:06,000
things so we can change that to make it.

1418
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,000
I get focused on that.

1419
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:14,000
They have been attention anything else you say.

1420
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:18,270
You might as well shut the switch off and go home because

1421
01:17:18,270 --> 01:17:22,000
they have decided they're not going to do anything.

1422
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,640
And something we're doing right and that's this is also on

1423
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:29,119
our back burner is we want to work with finance to better

1424
01:17:29,119 --> 01:17:32,770
understand what our triangle looks like desert calls you

1425
01:17:32,770 --> 01:17:36,720
show different shapes like Orlando Florida has a different

1426
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,000
triangle shape. We want to understand what our triangle

1427
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:38,000
looks like.

1428
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:43,000
So that's again one of the other products.

1429
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:51,000
So, a little competition needs.

1430
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:55,479
So for storytelling without the city's marketing department

1431
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,000
that will do that or will that be a consultant.

1432
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,329
Sure, it would be a combination between probably us and our

1433
01:18:02,329 --> 01:18:10,000
marketing.

1434
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,000
So, I guess.

1435
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:26,000
Between here the next meeting.

1436
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,369
I guess when you get feedback from all members but I don't

1437
01:18:29,369 --> 01:18:32,000
think Jerry attended the first board retreat.

1438
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:35,000
I don't believe he did but who else are we missing.

1439
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Yeah.

1440
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,840
I think probably best timing certainly doesn't permit me to

1441
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,109
discuss that but I think it'd be best probably to get

1442
01:18:59,109 --> 01:19:02,899
feedback from all of them. Bring it back here next week so

1443
01:19:02,899 --> 01:19:06,000
we can get the organization that the order.

1444
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,270
And I would recommend anybody on here sent you back to

1445
01:19:10,270 --> 01:19:14,979
Britain, what your preference of order is what you think is

1446
01:19:14,979 --> 01:19:19,680
more urgent, so that maybe we can make this a 15 minute

1447
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:24,000
topic next time instead of an hour.

1448
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:47,000
I think people who are here do bring a lot of value.

1449
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,000
Thank you. That's all I have.

1450
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:55,510
I will say, let me see if we don't make it in time for the

1451
01:19:55,510 --> 01:19:57,399
work session, and maybe I can say that we are working on it

1452
01:19:57,399 --> 01:19:58,000
separately.

1453
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,300
And really, depending on who gets mayor and how council

1454
01:20:01,300 --> 01:20:04,579
looks I mean this could obviously change in terms of like

1455
01:20:04,579 --> 01:20:08,409
who's working on what so that's probably good feedback as

1456
01:20:08,409 --> 01:20:09,000
well.

1457
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:17,659
Like we may need to alter it a little bit depending on what

1458
01:20:17,659 --> 01:20:19,000
we think.

1459
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,000
So that is not an action item or anything.

1460
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:29,079
But we do have item B, ADP 26 that year one seven, which is

1461
01:20:29,079 --> 01:20:31,000
future agenda items.

1462
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:36,000
So, all right for now July, I think play we did confirm we

1463
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:40,000
have to push the meeting right. So we will find a new date

1464
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,149
and you have time after this to find a new time to me at

1465
01:20:42,149 --> 01:20:45,000
the end of July, we have a project circuit and the words

1466
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:45,000
right now

1467
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:50,850
requested and since, and so that still has to go to City

1468
01:20:50,850 --> 01:20:57,260
Council closed session with the new council members coming

1469
01:20:57,260 --> 01:21:01,000
online in the 23rd of June.

1470
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:07,180
So we didn't want this to be the first item that's brought

1471
01:21:07,180 --> 01:21:13,479
before the new council, we wanted to make sure that we had

1472
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:19,000
at least an orientation with them prior.

1473
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:34,960
And then we have a guest speaker Ben McGill with you and T.

1474
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:35,000
And then we have the quarterly directors report.

1475
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:48,640
The 23rd isn't a full council meeting that's the swearing

1476
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:50,000
in. So the next council meeting before anything comes

1477
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:50,000
before.

1478
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:59,949
We'll move to the business discuss or suggestions on what

1479
01:21:59,949 --> 01:22:05,000
they wish to discuss the next week.

1480
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:11,069
And so our next will be at the end of July. Yes, at the end

1481
01:22:11,069 --> 01:22:17,300
of July, date to be determined. So just make sure you let

1482
01:22:17,300 --> 01:22:20,000
Britain here.

1483
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:39,000
Any more issues. It will be helpful at the next. It will

1484
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:39,000
take a couple of meetings but then we'll get another city

1485
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:39,000
council member appointed as well. And so that will help or

1486
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:39,000
hopefully having another member appointed since

1487
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:51,000
member bird is no longer serving and she was pointed out.
