[Dallas Davis Garden TIF District Board Meeting on June 21, 2023]
[00:00:03]
WELL, GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.

THIS TIME I'LL TURN IT OVER TO STAFF TO PRESENT THIS ITEM.
UM, SO THAT, CAN YOU GO AHEAD AND, AND PULL UP THE, THE PRESENTATION? OKAY.
LEMME SEE IF I CAN MOVE THIS OUTTA THE WAY.
CAN YOU SEE IT? UM, YEAH, BUT THIS LITTLE RECORDING BUTTON IS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
IS THERE, CAN I JUST HIT, UH, CHANGE LAYOUT, MAYBE FOCUS CONTENT, MAYBE THE BOTTOM, IF IT MATTERS, UH, ON OUR END, WE DON'T SEE A, A LOW, NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE, AT LEAST I DON'T, ON THIS SIDE, I SEE IT AS THE SLIDE MODE WITH THE SLIDE SORTER ON THE LEFT AND THE, MY RESIDENT, IT GENIUS JUST FIXED IT.
LORD, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING TIME THIS AFTERNOON TO, TO JOIN US TODAY.
UM, TODAY I'M GOING TO BE BRINGING YOU A PRESENTATION ON A REQUEST FOR PUBLIC WORKS FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE ROSEMONT SAFE ROSS TO SCHOOL PROGRAM, WHICH YOU ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH AT THIS POINT.
UH, WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST YEAR SINCE WE LAST MET IN JUNE.
UM, WE'LL LOOK AT THE, WHAT THE BOARD PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THE DESIGN FOR, FOR THE ROSEMONT PROJECT, AND THEN WE'LL LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE TERMING THE LAST BLOCK OF IMPROVEMENTS AND TAKE A LOOK AT HOW IT CAME TO BE AND WHAT EXACTLY, UM, THE CRITERIA THAT WE USED TO, UH, COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR THE LAST BLOCK.
UM, THE CAMERON WITH PUBLIC WORKS WILL PRESENT THE PREFERRED OPTION TO YOU ALONG WITH A REQUEST FOR THE FUNDING.
I'LL MAKE MY RECOMMENDATION AND THEN I'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE TIMELINE FOR NEXT STEPS.
SO JUST ABOUT A YEAR AGO, UH, WE FIRST, I FIRST BROUGHT THIS PROJECT TO YOU, AND AT THAT TIME, OUR, OUR NOW CHAIR WAS AN, AN ATTENDEE AT THE MEETING.
AND, UM, HE BROUGHT UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION A, UM, A, A LARGE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE THAT WAS MISSING, AND THAT WAS WE, WHAT WE ARE NOW IDENTIFIED AS THE LAST BLOCK.
YOU'LL RECALL THAT HE SAID THAT THE, THE ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT AREA, UM, OF THE ROSEMONT PROGRAM WAS MISSING IMPROVEMENTS.
[00:05:01]
THE, THE TWO STREETS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO ROSEMONT PRIMARY.AND HE WANTED THE BOARD TO CONSIDER ADDING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OVERALL SCOPE.
SO I BROUGHT THE, UM, REQUEST BACK TO THE BOARD IN AUGUST, INCLUDING $50,000 DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY IN THE DESIGN OF THE LAST BLOCK BOARD.
APPROVED THAT FUNDING, UM, TOOK IT TO COUNCIL IN SEPTEMBER.
AND SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH CAMERON IN PUBLIC WORKS AND CONSULTANTS AND A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS TO PUT TOGETHER A WORKABLE DESIGN.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU THIS AFTERNOON, ALONG WITH A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL DESIGN, UM, FUNDING SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.
ALL THE STREETS YOU SEE HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS HOT PINK ARE THE ONES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL SCOPE, AND THESE ARE THE, THE IMPROVEMENTS, UH, LISTED ON THE, THE RIGHT COLUMN, UH, AND THE STREETS THAT ARE IMPACTED THAT THE BOARD APPROVED THE DESIGN FOR BACK IN AUGUST.
AND THEN OFF IN THE LEFT HAND CORNER, YOU'LL SEE, UH, THE BLUE LINE STREETS.
THOSE WERE THE, THE AREAS THAT WE WERE POTENTIALLY GOING TO STUDY FOR IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE LAST BLOCK.
SO WE KNOW THAT THE, THE ISSUE WAS PRESENTED BACK IN JUNE.
UM, COUNSEL APPROVED THE ORIGINAL SCOPE DESIGN AS WELL AS 50,000 FOR THE LAST BLOCK DESIGN IN SEPTEMBER.
UM, THE CONSULTANTS WENT TO WORK AND PREPARED, UM, SIX DIFFERENT, UH, DESIGN OPTIONS FOR OUR CONSIDERATION AND PRESENTED THOSE TO COUNCILMAN WEST AND STAFF, UH, AT A MEETING.
AND AT THAT POINT, WE, UH, NARROWED THE, THE OPTIONS DOWN TO TWO.
AND THEN IN FEBRUARY, THE DESIGN TEAM, UH, REFINED THOSE OPTIONS AND PREPARED THEM FOR OUR PRESENTATION TO OUR FOCUS GROUP.
AND WE HAD A, A GREAT FOCUS GROUP PRESENTATION BACK AT THE END OF MARCH.
THIS WAS HELD AT THE ROSEMONT PRIMARY CAMPUS, UM, HOSTED BY THE, THE, UM, PRINCIPAL THERE, UH, IN THE LIBRARY.
AND WE HAD 23 PEOPLE ATTEND IN TOTAL, INCLUDING COUNCIL MIDWEST 10 STAFF MEMBERS, NINE RESIDENTS, INCLUDING THE, THE PRESIDENT OF THE PTA AND SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE DANCES CLUB, ORLANDO AL MADEA FROM THE DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THE, THE TWO CONSULTANTS.
WE HAD REALLY GREAT ATTENDANCE.
WE HAD MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE, UM, REAL ACTIVE PARTICIPATION FROM THE RESIDENTS, AND WE GOT THE KIND OF FEEDBACK WE NEEDED IN ORDER TO NARROW DOWN A, A REALLY GOOD DESIGN THAT WE'LL BE PRESENTING TO YOU.
UM, NEXT, UH, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
IF THAT, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO CAMERON ANDERSON WITH PUBLIC WORKS.
HE'S GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT ALL WENT INTO THE FINAL DESIGN SELECTION, THEN PRESENT THE DESIGN AND THE FUNDING REQUEST.
I'M CAMERON ANDERSON, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
UH, IN THE LAST BLOCK ANALYSIS, UH, WE HIRED, UH, WE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR HAVING ASSOCIATES TO GO OUT AND ESSENTIALLY DO A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF WHAT THE BEST POTENTIAL ROUTE WOULD BE TO ADD PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE IMPROVEMENTS TO STEVENS FOREST.
FOR THE ROOSEVELT ATION SCHOOLS, UH, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY CONSIDERED WERE, UH, THE RIGHTWAY STRENGTHS, UH, PAVING DIMENSIONS, UH, CONDITION OF THE PA, UH, THE PAVEMENT, UTILITY CONFLICTS, STREET CONFLICTS, UH, TRAFFIC FLOW IN THE AREA, ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK HOURS, WHICH IS DROP OFF PICKUP TRAFFIC VOLUMES IN THE AREA, UH, ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK HOURS.
UH, PEDESTRIAN VOLUMES, BIKE VOLUMES, UM, AND ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING TRAFFIC LAWS, UH, ESPECIALLY ON MARY CLIFF, WHERE WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO QUEUE IN THE CURRENT, UH, PAYMENT THAT'S MARKED FOR BIKE LANES, UH, DRAINAGE, AND THEN SAFETY AND COST.
SO, CONSIDERING ALL THESE FACTORS, UH, AS LESLIE MENTIONED, WE WENT TO THE, UH, FOCUS GROUP.
WE HAD SEVERAL OPTIONS THAT WE NARROWED DOWN, AND THE LAST OPTION THAT WAS CHOSEN WASN'T THE ONE ON THE SCREEN.
SO THIS OPTION PROVIDES A TWO-WAY CYCLE TRACK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF STEVENS FOREST.
THAT'S CURB SEPARATED CONCRETE CURB OR CONCRETE BUFFER, UH, TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FOR THE CYCLISTS.
UH, AND STILLS ALLOWS TWO-WAY TRAFFIC AND A TWO-WAY LEFT TURN LANE.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE POSED MID-BLOCK CROSSING FOR PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS, UH, JUST EAST OF THE LAST SCHOOL DRIVEWAY.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, ON MER CLIFF, WE'RE ALSO POSING, UH, ADDITIONAL CONCRETE CURVES TO PREVENT VEHICLES FROM QUEUING IN THE EXISTING BIKE LANES.
SO THAT'LL BE A ADDED BENEFIT.
[00:10:01]
USE THOSE LANES UNDEFEATED BY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.UH, IN ADDITION, WHAT'S NOT SHOWN HERE IS THAT THERE'S ADDITIONAL A SECTION OF CONCRETE SIDEWALK THAT'S ACTUALLY, UH, OMITTED JUST BEFORE YOU GET TO RAINIER STREET, AND WE'RE GONNA ADD THAT IN AS WELL.
SO, UH, AS I MENTIONED, UH, THE OPTION THAT WAS CHOSEN MOST FAVORABLY BY THE FOCUS GROUPS TO PROVIDE A TWO-WAY CURB SEPARATED CYCLE TRACK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF STEVEN FOREST.
IT WILL PROVIDE, UH, CYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSING, UH, WITH, UH, PEDESTRIAN WARNING, WHICH IS A RECTANGULAR RECORD FLASHING BEACON, WHICH, UH, PROPOSED, UH, WARNING SIGN THERE.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN NOT SEEN THOSE.
THOSE ARE THE, UM, PUSH BUTTON OR LASER OPERATED, UH, WARNING SIGNS THAT FLASH WHEN PEDESTRIANS ARE CROSSING, INDICATING THAT VEHICLES NEED TO STOP.
I THINK IT'S KIND OF SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE ON POLK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IS IT SIMILAR TO THAT WHERE YOU CAN, I BELIEVE THERE'RE ONE ON POLK, LIKE POLK AND CANDY TO CROSSOVER YES.
ANYBODY HAS USED THAT, THAT SIGNAL? I THINK THAT, AND AS I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, FOR SAFETY AND COMFORT, WE ARE GONNA ADD, UM, CURB SEPARATORS, UH, CONCRETE CURB TWO, MARY CLIFF FOR ADDITIONAL SAFETY.
UM, SO, UH, THE REASON FOR THE NEED IS THE ADDITIONAL SCOPE THAT WE CAME TO PREVIOUSLY, UH, WAS MAINLY FOR THE FEASIBILITY STUDY.
AND NOW THAT WE COMPLETED THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, WE NOW NEED MONEY FOR ADDITIONAL SURVEY AND ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES SERVICES.
SO, UH, OUR ASK IS $50,000 OR $50,500 OF WHICH $20,000 WILL GO, UH, TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SURVEY FOR THE AREA, AND THEN $30,000, $30,500 FOR ADDITIONAL DESIGN.
THE ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF WORK FOR, AS I'M VERY CLEAR, IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY AND AN ADDITIONAL OF $50,500 REQUESTED, UH, FROM THE 10TH DISTRICT TO INCORPORATE CHANGES REQUESTED BY THE 10TH DISTRICT BOARD, UH, ON JUNE 15TH, 2022.
SO, UH, STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS DEFINITELY APPROVAL.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS, UM, AFTER A YEAR'S WORTH OF STUDY IS NECESSARY, AND I BELIEVE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL SCOPE.
UM, IT, IT HAS MORPHED INTO SOMETHING BIGGER, UH, THROUGH THE PROCESS OF STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT AND REALLY GETTING RIGHT DOWN TO THE NITTY GRITTY OF WHAT'S REALLY NEEDED.
SO, UM, THE, THE FUNDING, THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUEST IS LEGIT AND IT IS NECESSARY IN ORDER FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT.
SO IF YOU APPROVE THIS REQUEST, UM, IT WILL, WE DON'T, WE HAVE TO GO TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL FOR THIS DUE TO THE USE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION TOOL, WHICH BASICALLY ANYTHING THAT FALLS UNDER THE THRESHOLD OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, IT CAN BE, UH, ADMINISTERED BY STAFF, THE DIRECT, THE DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS.
UM, AND THEN THE ACT, THE ACTION THAT WILL BE TAKEN IS OF COURSE THE CONSULTANT WILL BEGIN THE DESIGN AND CAMERON'S TEAM IS EXPECTING THAT THE, THE DESIGN AND THE PREPARATION FOR CONSTRUCTION BIDDING WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS.
AND SO THAT WOULD, THE COST WOULD FLOW INTO OUR 2324 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET.
AND THEN THE MAIN, UM, SAFE ROUTE TO SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT WE ALREADY APPROVED THE FUNDING FOR, WE, THEY'RE STILL GONNA BE COMING BACK TO US FOR CONSTRUCTION FUNDING FOR THAT.
AND THEY ANTICIPATE THAT HAPPENING PROBABLY, HOPEFULLY MAYBE SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE REQUEST FOR THE LAST BLOCK, BUT IF NOT, PROBABLY, UM, BACK TO BACK.
SO WITH THAT, UM, WE CAN OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
THIS IS JENNIFER LONGFELLOW THE, UM, CONSULTANT THAT'S BEEN ON THIS PROJECT.
HAVE THEY BEEN ON IT SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING? YES.
AND COULD YOU TELL ME REAL QUICK, JUST SO I CAN GET AN IDEA, LIKE, OF THE PROPOSAL THAT'S COMING OUT WITH THE NEW SURVEY, IS IT, UM, LIKE THREE BLOCKS, FOUR BLOCKS? I KNOW IT'S SURROUNDING THAT AREA, BUT DO WE HAVE LIKE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MANY BLOCKS OR HOW MANY FEET IS GONNA BE IN THAT SURVEY BEFORE CONSTRUCTION? UM, IT'S GONNA BE THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF STEVENS FOREST.
AND THEN TYPICALLY, UH, IT'LL BE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CONNECTING STREET
[00:15:01]
IS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, NOT CLIP TO THE, UH, WEST THAT TIME.SO IT WELL WILL SURVEY THAT INTERSECTION AS WELL AS ALONG MARY'S CLIFF, UH, FROM TAP RIGHT HERE.
UH, AND THAT SHOULD APPROXIMATELY AS WELL AS, THAT'LL BE BOUNDARY SURVEYS.
MOST
STEVENS VILLAGE DRIVE IS THE ROAD I WAS THINKING ABOUT.
SO, UH, THE PROPOSED ROUTE WILL HAVE THE, UH, TWO-WAY CYCLE TRACK GO ALL THE WAY FROM ECL CLIFF TO STEVENS VILLAGE.
SO, AND THEY USUALLY DO SOME TIE-IN WORK, UH, AT EACH, AT THE END OF EACH PROJECTS TO, FOR CONTINUITY'S SAKE AND FOR SAFETY.
DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? WHERE DOES THIS PUT US AT THIS? I, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT GROUP FOR THIS QUESTION, BUT, UM, WHERE DOES IT PUT US ON OUR, UH, FUNDING AS A, AS A REINVESTMENT ZONE? I'M JUST CURIOUS.
UM, UH, CAN YOU SO THAT, JUST ONE SECOND.
SO THE, THE IMPACT, UM, FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, UM, IS JUST 50,500 BECAUSE THE, THE 201 4 25 HAD ALREADY BEEN SUBTRACTED, UM, FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR.
SO IT LEAVES US WITH A NET CASH BALANCE AT THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR OF 2.7 MILLION.
AND THEN NEXT YEAR, UM, IT WILL BE AN IMPACT OF 1.7 MILLION AND LEAVES US WITH A NET BALANCE AT THE END OF THE YEAR OF 3.4 MILLION.
SO WE STILL HAVE A HEALTHY BUDGET FOR OTHER PROJECTS THAT MIGHT BE COMING IN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? FIRST STEP, UM, IF NOT, STAFF IS REQUESTING APPROVAL FROM BOARD FOR THIS ITEM THAT'S PRESENTED THIS POINT.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR AGENDA ITEM FOUR.
SEE, I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM FOUR BY JENNIFER.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.
ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE.
UM, MS. BLAKE, UM, HAS SENT, UM, AS PART OF MY ONBOARDING TO, UH, THIS TIF BOARD, WHICH I'M EXCITED TO BE A PART OF, ALONG WITH, I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE HAS BEEN ONBOARDED.
WE EACH RECEIVED THE DAVIS GARDEN TIFF DISTRICT PROJECT PLAN.
UM, AND IN ADVANCE OF THIS MEETING, UM, SPIKE ALSO SHARED SPIKE ALSO SHARED, UM, THAT PACKET FOR CONSIDERATION.
UM, IT'S THE GUIDING DOCUMENT FOR THE TIF AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT IS A BOARD PER STATE LAW.
THIS DOCUMENT IS THE ONLY DOCUMENT WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER.
IT'S OUR MECHANISM FOR AFFECTING CHANGE WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND OUR, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, OUR, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
SO ALL OTHER ACTION WE TAKE IS ONLY BY RECOMMENDATION ONLY.
UM, WHAT I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE IS THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AS A BOARD TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE WITHIN THE DISTRICT, WITHIN THE, UM, WITHIN THIS DAVIS GARDEN TIF DISTRICT PROJECT PLAN.
SO I'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE EACH ONE OF US OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS, SO WHEN WE REGROUP IN SEPTEMBER TO EVALUATE, UM, THIS PROJECT PLAN.
I THINK THE LAST TIME IT WAS UPDATED WAS 12 YEARS AGO.
UM, AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, AND I THINK IT'S WORTH TAKING A FRESH LOOK AND MAKING SURE THAT THIS PROJECT PLAN IS REALLY POSITIONING THE DAVIS GARDEN TIF IN THE NEXT YEAR IN THE YEARS TO COME, RIGHT? TO CONTINUE TO REALLY
[00:20:01]
MAKE STRATEGIC, UM, IMPROVEMENTS THAT ALIGN WITH THE, UM, OBJECTIVE OF THE DAVIS GARDEN TIF.UM, I THINK ANOTHER THING TO THINK ABOUT IS THE 2024 BOND IS COMING UP.
UM, I THINK SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT MORE FROM MR. ANDERSON, AND IT DOESN'T BE IN THIS MEETING, BUT MAYBE AS A FOLLOW UP, IS JUST UNDERSTANDING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF WHAT WITHIN OUR TIF DISTRICT IS ALREADY ON THE NEEDS INVENTORY AND IT'S BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE 2024 BOND AND HOW WE CAN STRATEGICALLY, UM, THINK ABOUT THIS AS A TIF AND, AND HOW WE CAN PARTNER WITH AND WHAT MAKES SENSE.
I'LL PAUSE THERE, LET BLAKE DO ANYTHING YOU WOULD ADD TO THIS, THIS ITEM.
UM, UM, I, I THINK THAT, UH, THE BOARD PROBABLY OVER TIME HAS NOTICED SOME, UM, ISSUES THAT, THAT YOU MIGHT PERSONALLY LIKE TO SEE, WOULD LIKE TO SEE, UH, UM, SOME KIND OF PROJECT HAPPEN TO SOLVE, UH, AN ISSUE YOU MIGHT SEE, FOR INSTANCE, YOU MIGHT SEE NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALKS THAT ARE IN THIS REPAIR, OR YOU MIGHT SEE AN AREA WHERE THAT, UH, IT IS PRIME AND RIGHT FOR A REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
YOU JUST FIND OUT SOME IDEAS BY BEING RESIDENTS OF THE AREA OF, OF NEEDS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO THE TABLE FOR THE TIF TO CONSIDER.
UM, I THINK, BUT WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROJECT PLAN, YOU'LL FIND THAT MOST LIKELY, WHATEVER IT IS YOU HAVE IN MIND IS, IS PART OF THE AUTHORIZED PROJECT PLAN.
SO IT MIGHT, MAY NEED A LITTLE DUSTING OFF, MIGHT NEED A LITTLE BIT, UM, A LITTLE TWEAK HERE AND THERE.
BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE, THE KINDS OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE IN MIND ARE GOING TO BE ALLOWED FOR IN THE CURRENT PLAN.
SO WITH THAT, AS YOU BEGIN TO READ IT OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS AND YOU A SPECIFIC IDEA COMES TO MIND, CONSIDER THAT IT IS, AS WILLIAM MENTIONED, UM, THAT THIS BOND PROGRAM THAT'S GOING ON IS A, IS A CITYWIDE GIGANTIC EFFORT AND IT ENCOMPASSES PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING THAT, THAT THE TIF DOES.
UH, OR IT, IT HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS ON PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING THAT THE TIF DOES FROM FARC IMPROVEMENTS, THE STREET SCAPE, UM, PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
THERE'S IT BEING CONSIDERED CITYWIDE AND IT'S PART OF THE NEEDS INVENTORY THAT CAN BE ACCESSED ON A LINK THAT I'M GONNA BE SENDING YOU.
SO AS YOU START TO THINK THROUGH AND, AND I IDEA COMES TO MIND, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THE NEEDS INVENTORY AND SEE IF THAT'S ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE BOND PROGRAM.
IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CERTAINLY DISCUSS AS A TEAM IN SEPTEMBER OR WHENEVER OUR NEXT MEETING IS AND POTENTIALLY DO SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF WHAT THE BOND PROGRAM IS CONSIDERING MAY ABSOLUTELY.
UM, AS PART OF THE CRITERIA FOR THE 20, UH, 24 BOND PROGRAM, UH, WE'RE GONNA BE SOME WEIGHT GIVEN TO PARTNERING.
UM, AND I THINK THAT, UH, DAVIS GARDEN TIFF CAN LEVERAGE BOND DOLLARS WITH TIF DOLLARS, UH, TO HELP, UH, GET YOU NO, POTENTIALLY, I'M GONNA SAY GET HELP, POTENTIALLY GET PROJECTS SELECTED FOR, UH, THAT ARE WITHIN THE DAVIS GARDEN, UH, BOUNDARY IF YOU'RE WILLING TO LEVERAGE PARTNERSHIP FUNDS.
SO, BUT I THINK CONSIDER IT AS A PARTNERSHIP WITHIN THE ALGORITHM THAT SAYS IS THERE OUTSIDE FUNDING? YES.
IS THERE'S, GET SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THAT, HOW WE PLAN TO SCORE THAT.
BUT UH, I THINK IT'S BETWEEN NOW AND TIME THAT THE BOND ELECTION IS MADE.
UH, IF THERE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE LIST THAT'S SAY THE, IS WILLING TO, I'M SO SORRY.
OUR MEETING UP POSTPONED AND STUFF.
IS WILLING TO, UH, PARTNER WITH THE DEPARTMENT WORKS, THE DEPARTMENT OF ACCREDITATION, THEN, UH, THAT POTENTIALLY HELP THE PROJECT GET SELECTED, UH, FROM THE NEEDS INVENTORY.
AND I THINK A QUESTION I HAVE, MR. ANDERSON, IS JUST TRYING TO THINK ABOUT THE TIMING.
SO IF WE MEET IN SEPTEMBER, ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS THAT MIGHT BE TOO LATE TO TRY TO HELP PROVIDE A BOND.
PARTICULARLY WE THINK THERE'S SOME ITEMS THAT, YOU KNOW, FIT WITHIN THE CHIP GARDEN, UM, PROJECT PLAN AS IT IS TODAY.
AND SO I'M WONDERING, WE CAN MAYBE TAKE THIS, WE, WE GOT THIS AS A FOLLOW UP, BUT MAYBE WE NEED TO HAVE A TOUCHPOINT IN JULY OR AUGUST TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THOSE, IDENTIFY WHERE WE THINK WE'D WANT TO
[00:25:01]
WORK WITH STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT FEEDS INTO THE BOND PROGRAM SCORING.I THINK IT GOT ON RECESS IN JULY,
YEAH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE ACCORDING TO THE, THEIR PROGRAM, THEY'RE, THEY'RE ACCEPTING PUBLIC INPUT THROUGH SEPTEMBER AND THEY'RE HAVING A TOWN HALL MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 12TH AND SEPTEMBER 26TH.
DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT? UM, SO MANY THINGS I THINK I'M
I WAS CAMP IS THE WRONG COLLECTION IN NOVEMBER.
SO THERE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S TIME THEN IT'S NOT ALL GONNA BE AS IDEAL THIS YEAR.
SO WE'RE PRESENTING THE NEEDS EMPLOYEE FOR PUBLIC WORKS STREETS, UM, ON AUGUST 22ND.
AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER, WE HAVE PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS ON AUGUST 15TH.
SO ACTUALLY I WOULD SAY THAT PROBABLY ONE BEFORE THAT WE HAVE SUB COMMITTEE MEETING WITH
I DON'T THINK WE NEED BE FINALIZED IN THAT MEETING, BUT IT'LL PROBABLY BE GOOD TO HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF ANY, YEAH.
WELL IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR FORMAL HELP INPUT'S STILL GONNA BE CURRENT SEPTEMBER OR YEAH, SO LET ME GET THE TIMELINE.
SO YOU'RE ASKING JUST WHERE, WHAT'S THE DEADLINE FOR THE BOARD TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT PROCESS? CORRECT.
TO MAKE SURE IF THERE ARE PROJECTS WE WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED AS A PARTNER THAT IS SCORED.
AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT NEEDS TO BE BY AUGUST 15TH IS WHAT I WAS HEARING.
I'M GONNA WORKING FOR THE EXACT, BUT I'M GIVE IT TO YOU.
I WOULD SAY IT'S KIND OF UNUSUAL FOR A TIP BOARD TO BE DIRECTLY, I MEAN IT'S, THERE'S PUBLIC INPUT BUT IT'S, WE'VE NEVER REALLY HAD LIKE A TIP DISTRICT ADD ONTO THE BOND PROGRAM COLLABORATING.
BUT I DON'T SEE AUGUST FIFTEENTHS AND HARD, I DON'T HARD IT.
THAT, THAT AUGUST 22ND I FIND SUBCOMMITTEE, UH, TASK FORCE SUBCOMMITTEE.
THAT IS THE EXTENT OF THE TIME I HAVE KNOW THERE'S ADDITIONAL TASK FORCE MEMBER.
AND IN CALIFORNIA, I THINK NOVEMBER IS WHEN THIS IS SEVERITY.
ONE OF THE CRITICAL THINGS MIGHT BE TO SEE WHETHER THE THINGS THAT THE BOARD'S INTERESTED IN ARE ALREADY BEEN ON SOME SORT OF PRIORITY LIST.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS, UH, WE'RE GONNA, I'M GONNA LOOK AT THE
SO, UM, BUT SAYING THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT UH, PUBLIC WORKS TRANSPORTATION GIVE PRIORITY TO ARE PARTNER MM-HMM
FEDERAL, LIKE STATE NOT LIKE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN FIVE ONE PART ALASKA.
SO, UH, YOU KNOW, I'LL MENTION THAT IF IN HOW WE GET PROJECTS IDENTIFIED OR FUNDED, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, SIMILAR TO ROSEMONT, WE CAN SELECT A PROJECT AND THEN WE CONDUCT THE PROJECT AND TAKE ALL GET FUNDED THAT WAY OR YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THE PRECEDENT FOR FUNDING
I DON'T, IT'S PROBABLY A SCENARIO WHERE THERE'S A BOTTOM PROJECT, BUT IF THERE'S ENHANCEMENTS THAT CAN'T BE COVERED, THAT'S WHERE THE TIP COULD COME INTO PLAY WHEN IT'S GETTING READY TO GO.
CAUSE I KNOW UPTOWN ON THIS CAUSE YOU'RE READING A MILLION DOLLARS FROM MY OTHER PROJECTS.
SO NO POSSIBLE PROBABLY IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WHERE IT WOULD SUPPLEMENT THE PROJECT'S BUDGET WHEN CAMERON'S GROUP IS READY TO ACTUALLY, OR THE BOND OFFICE IS READY TO ACTUALLY TAKE IT TO CONSTRUCTION.
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S STILL TIME FOR PUBLIC INPUT CUZ THE IS ELECTION NEXT MAY OR NEXT NOVEMBER I BELIEVE.
AND THERE, I'M SURE THERE'LL BE, THERE'LL BE PUBLIC COMMENT, THERE'LL BE COUNCIL BRIEFINGS.
I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF YEAH, THEY HAVE TOWN HALLS OFF WAY THIS EPTEMBER IT SAYS THE COMMITTEES SUPPOSED TO FINALIZE THEIR LIST OF PROJECTS IN NOVEMBER AND PERCENT COUNSEL FOR APPROVAL SENATE.
SO THERE'LL PROBABLY BE MULTIPLE BRIEFINGS AND YOU KNOW, BEFORE THE FINAL LIST GETS ON THE YEAH.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IN FROM SAKE TO SAY THAT IF WE CONTINUE ON THE PATH OF TRYING TO HAVE THOUGHTS, UM,
[00:30:01]
PRESENTED AS A GROUP IN SEPTEMBER THAT WE WOULD STILL HAVE YEAH.TO, TO, TO ADD TO THE LIST IF THEY ALREADY ON THE LIST.
AND AGAIN, WE CAN EXPLORE OTHER ALTERNATIVES IF THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE RECOMMENDED LIST FROM THE BOND PROGRAM.
FROM THE STAFFING ISSUE PERSPECTIVE OR TRYING TO FIND A GOVERNMENT PARTNER TO TAKE ON THIS LARGER PROJECT.
SORRY, DO YOU STILL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH, WITH THE, UH, ASKING EVERYBODY TO REVIEW THE PLAN AND YEAH, I CERTAIN MAKES US TO REVIEW THE PLAN, I THINK TO SEE WHAT'S ON THE, THE LIST.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SEPTEMBER IS JUST RUNWAY WITHIN THE 2024 BOND TO YEAH, BRING IT ALL TOGETHER AND SEE HOW WE CAN BE STRATEGIC AS, OKAY.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE, THE BOARD ABOUT THAT, THAT PLAN? IS THERE A PROPOSED DATE OR ESTIMATE? IT'LL BE OUR REGULAR MEETING, OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETING, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER 3RD, WEDNESDAY IN SEPTEMBER.
I I SENT YOU A CALENDAR, I, UM, INVITE FOR IT.
IT SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN BE SHARING INFORMATION IN BETWEEN, LIKE IF THERE'S LIKE THINGS THAT BE TO BE CHECKED AGAINST WHAT CAMERON HAS IN HIS ABSOLUTELY.
UM, AND I'LL, I'LL PUT TOGETHER KIND OF A WRAP UP OF THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION AND THE, THE STEPS FORWARD SO WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE ON, ON WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
AND THEN AS SUE JUST MENTIONED, IF THERE'S IDEAS THAT THAT NEED TO BE SHARED AND DISCUSSED, UH, OF COURSE WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T DO IT AS A GROUP ONLINE, BUT YOU CAN SEND INFORMATION DIRECTLY TO ME.
I CAN INCORPORATE IT AS IN A GENERAL DOCUMENT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS RESPECT TO THIS ITEM? THE PLAN THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, TO REVIEW IS, IS THE ONE THAT WAS SENT IN THE EMAIL, RIGHT? THE DAVIS GARTON FINAL PROJECT PLAN? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
AND ANNA, THAT JUST KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE ELIGIBLE STEP COSTS, WHICH ARE PRETTY BROAD.
I WOULD THINK THAT ANYTHING YOU'D COME UP WITH THAT IS A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT, WHETHER IT'S SIDEWALKS OR TRAILS, WOULD BE AN ELIGIBLE COST, BUT AT LEAST IT GIVES YOU SOME IDEA OF THINGS THAT TIP FLOODS TYPICALLY ARE USED FOR.
YEAH, I REALLY JUST COMMENT LIKE IF YOU GO TO ALL THE DAVIS GARDEN PAGE, IT SHOWS THE LITTLE PARK AREA THAT'S AT ROSEMONT, RIGHT? MONTCLAIR AND SEVENTH AND MONT PLAZA.
THE MONT PLAZA, JUST A GREAT SPACE.
AND I HAD, I HAD NO IDEA A NEIGHBOR USES THE LOT.
LIKE THIS IS A GREAT ASPECT THAT REALLY IMPROVES THE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT ASPECTS, REALLY THE DISTRICT.
AND SO IT'S JUST KINDA LIKE, WELL WOULD IT LOOK LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE BEING STRATEGIC WITH OTHER, DO YOU HAVE ON HOW THAT CAME TO BE? WASN'T IT AN ADD ON TO SOMETHING? I THINK SO, AND I THINK WE'RE ALSO HELD IN THAT SITUATION AS THE, THE APARTMENTS THAT BEING BUILT AS FOR THEY AGREED TO MAINTAIN, TO MAINTAIN THE PLAZA.
BUT I THINK IT WAS AN ADD-ON TO LIKE A BOND PROJECT.
SO I GUESS I I I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN THE BOND PROJECT AND HOW THAT ALL WORKS.
SO IN THIS CASE, CAUSE A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT WE'VE FUNDED OR THAT I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, UM, ARE PROJECTS, INVESTMENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT, UM, DEVELOPERS HAVE MADE AND WE SUPPLEMENT THAT, THAT THAT LITTLE PARK THAT, UM, WE'RE, WE'RE REFERENCING.
IS IT BECAUSE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX HELPED INVEST IN THAT? OR IS IT, WAS IT SOMETHING THAT WAS SEPARATE THAT, THAT THE TIF BOARD DECIDED WAS NEEDED FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THEN PROPOSED? UM, JUST BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND STILL, AND I, I'LL REVIEW THE PLAN, BUT TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT, WHAT SCOPE WE HAVE AS A TIF BOARD TO BE INFLUENTIAL IN, IN CHANGE, UH, IN THE DAVIS.
I HAVE JUST BITS AND PIECES OF THE HISTORY.
SO TIFS PRIMARILY ARE ABOUT ENCOURAGING PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT.
SO FUNDAMENTALLY OUR MAIN MISSION IS TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT.
AND THEN WE DO SOMETIMES DO JUST GENERAL DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS.
AND I THINK MY RECOLLECTION IS THERE WAS SOME MAYBE UNUSED RIGHT OF WAY IN THAT AREA AND I THINK THERE WAS SOME OTHER BOND PROJECTS, SCREEN PROJECTS GOING ON.
SO I THINK THERE WAS A DESIRE TO LIKE MAKE A BETTER SPACE AND CONNECT TO OTHER THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON, LIKE WITH THE, THE SAFE ROUTES EFFORT
[00:35:01]
AND OTHER THINGS.UM, AND I THINK THERE WAS ALSO SOME OF, YOU MAY RECALL BACK WHEN THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT WITH THAT S L F AGREEMENT, THERE WAS KIND OF FUNDS THAT WERE PUT ASIDE FOR DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS.
AND SO I THINK A PRIORITIZATION OF POTENTIAL USES OF THOSE FUNDS CAME ABOUT.
AND SO I THINK THAT CLAUSE THAT MADE THAT LIST AND THEN I THINK IT HELPED MATTERS THAT THERE WAS A, AN ADJACENT PARTY WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE.
SO I THINK THAT'S GENERALLY THE HISTORY IS WHERE OF LOOSE UNDERSTANDING HOW THAT CAME ABOUT YOU REALLY GOOD IN GENERAL, LIKE ALL THE PARCELS DO S SO THAT HAS A, HAS A VERY ATYPICAL ORIGIN.
UM, THAT'S TYPICALLY NOT HOW WE WOULD APPROACH A NEW PROJECT, BUT, SO CORRECT ME IF I'M, IF I'M WRONG, BUT BASICALLY THE, THE, THE THREE DIFFERENT APPROACHES THAT, UM, BOARDS CAN, CAN TAKE PART IN IT FOR FUNDING FOR A PROCESS WOULD BE THROUGH, UM, GETTING BEHIND OR PRIVATE AND A PROJECT INCLUDED IN THE BOND PROGRAM.
UM, OR TRYING TO GET A PROJECT INCLUDED AS PART OF A PRIVATE DEVELOPER SPACE OR PROJECT.
AND THEN, UH, THE LAST ONE WOULD BE A STAFF INITIATED PROJECT WHERE WE WOULD'VE TO GO AND, AND BASICALLY BE IN DEPARTMENT LIKE PUBLIC WORKS TO TAKE IT ON FOREST AND WELL A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION SIDE.
I MEAN, MOST OF OUR PROJECTS ARE ONES WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT TAKES THE LEAD AND THEY IMPLEMENT IT, WE PAY THEM BACK.
UM, BUT WHEN WE'VE DONE KIND OF GENERAL DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS, YOU KNOW, THEN WE RUN INTO A SITUATION OF CAN WE HAVE A DEVELOPER IMPLEMENT THAT? OR IF WE CANNOT, BECAUSE OUR OFFICE DOESN'T HAVE AN ENGINEER ON STAFF, WE TYPICALLY HAVE TO RELY ON ANOTHER DEPARTMENT LIKE TRANSPORTATION OR PUBLIC WORKS TO AGREE TO MANAGE THOSE PROJECTS.
AND OFTENTIMES IT WORKS OUT BEST IF THEY'RE DOING A BOND PROJECT IN THE AREA AND THEY CAN USE THE SAME CONTRACTOR IN THE SAME PROCESS.
OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, IT'S A MATTER OF STAFF RESOURCES TO TAKE ON A BRAND NEW PUBLIC INSTRUCTION PROJECT.
DOES THAT HELP NICK? YEAH, THAT'S VERY HELPFUL.
UM, AND, AND THE REASON I I ASK IS BECAUSE, AND MAYBE IT WILL DEPEND ON WHAT BOND PROJECTS ARE BEING PROPOSED, BUT YOU KNOW, THE, UM, AS, AS A LOT OF YOU ARE PROBABLY, UH, EXPERIENCE, THERE'S JUST A LOT OF, UH, ISSUES WITH DAVIS STREET, UM, IN GENERAL.
UH, AND I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED HOW, YOU KNOW, BEING A PART OF THE TIF BOARD, UM, I CAN HELP THE COMMUNITY BY, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO IMPROVE THAT.
UH, I, I LIVE VERY CLOSE TO DAVIS STREET, I'M FAMILIAR WITH, UH, THE RIGHT, RIGHT WHEN RIGHT WHEN YOU GO PAST ROSEMONT ON DAVIS, IT'S LIKE YOU'RE GETTING ON A HIGHWAY.
UM, AND THAT'S BEEN AN ISSUE I THINK FOR THE COMMUNITY AND, AND YOU KNOW, IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WITH THIS, UM, SAFE ROUTES PROGRAM, DAVIS WASN'T REALLY INCLUDED.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, KIDS ARE CROSSING THE STREET A LOT, ESPECIALLY FROM MARY CLIFF, YOU KNOW, ACROSS DAVIS OR ROSEMONT ACROSS DAVIS.
THAT AREA RIGHT THERE IS SO DANGEROUS, UM, TO CROSS AND UH, ANYWAY, SO, UM, I URGE MY ON THIS BOARD TO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD, IF THERE ARE ANY PROJECTS RELATED TO IMPROVING THE, UH, THE, THE TRAFFIC THERE AND THE DANGER, UM, THAT WE FACE ON DAVIS AVE, UM, WOULD BE GOOD TO EXPLORE.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF CAMERON KNOWS THE HISTORY, BUT THERE'S BEEN A SERIES OF BOND FUNDED PROJECTS AS, AS YOU KNOW, PARTS OF DAVIS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED.
AND IT'S MY GENERAL UNDERSTANDING ISN'T THERE, LIKE, I DON'T WANNA SAY A MASTER PLAN, BUT AREN'T THERE PLANS TO TACKLE THE OTHER SECTIONS? YES.
SO, AND THAT, I DON'T KNOW, LIMITS MISSING THE PROJECT.
I DO KNOW IT'S VERY, I BELIEVE IT MAY BE FROM, UH,
UH, IT IS ESSENTIALLY GOING TO THE REMAINDER OF THE PROJECT FROM, UH, FOR 3 3 1 1 2 WAY, THEN WAY LEFT LANE THE WAY IT IS REQUIRED.
DO YOU HAVE A TIMELINE ON THAT? I'M SORRY, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? I, I I HAD A HARD TIME HEARING.
YEAH, SO SORRY, THREE THE TERM YOU SAID 3 1 1, UH, SORRY.
OH YOU SAID, YOU SAID, UH, ONE WAY.
[00:40:01]
NO ONE WAY IN THESE DIRECTION AND A TWO WAY LEFT.SO I HAVE A RECOLLECTION THAT THERE WAS LIKE A PUBLIC MEDIA, I'M IN VIRTUAL WHERE THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT LIKE THREE OR FOUR SECTIONS OF DAVIS AND THE GENERAL TIMELINE TO IMPROVE THOSE AT DIFFERENT, LIKE MAYBE IT WAS A PUBLIC INPUT SESSION ON HOW TO TREAT THE DIFFERENT SECTIONS ON DAVIS, BUT I KNOW THERE'S, THERE'S DEFINITELY THINGS THAT ARE IN THE PIPELINE SECTION.
WHAT HAPPENED IS THE COUNTY WAS GOING TO DO THE OTHER SECTION OF DAVIS, BUT THE COUNTY, UH, MINE LAST FIRST YOU JUST REQUESTED, UM, JUST WITHOUT AN RFQ FOR IT.
SO MY SUGGESTION IS THE SIMPLEST THING IS MAYBE THERE'S THINGS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, TELL US AND THEN WE CAN RUN THE TRAPS BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY THINGS GOING ON.
IT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE ALREADY BE THE PIPELINE.
BUT WHAT NICK, WHAT I WAS HEARING YOU SAY, AND MAYBE MY INITIAL THOUGHT IS I KNOW FOR THE SAFE PROCESS SCHOOL TO VIEW IS CROSSING MONTCLAIR AT DAVIS IS PROBABLY THE SAFEST PLACE.
CAUSE THERE'S A TRAFFIC LIGHT, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT ACROSS WITH MY KIDS PERSONALLY WHEN I BIKE MY KIDS FROM WINNETKA HEIGHTS OVER TO ROSEMONT.
UM, BUT I STILL HEAR YOUR POINT OF IT DOES GO FROM ONE LANE EACH WAY WITH A TURN, TURN LANE INTO I THINK THREE LANES EACH WAY WITH MAYBE LIKE A POCKET TURN LANE IT BE, UH, IN THE MEDIAN, RIGHT? YEAH.
AND SO I GO BACK TO SAY BOTH, ALL THAT, RIGHT? YEAH.
HEARD THE SAME, UM, YEAH, SEXUAL THE BIGGEST REMEMBER VAGUE RECOLLECTION THAT THE EXTENT OF WHATEVER WAS TALKED ABOUT THIS MEETING.
WHY DO WE EVEN GO AS FAR AS WAS MORELAND BE WRONG? YEAH, I THINK IT, LIKE THE WHOLE OF THE DATA SCAR, IT'S LIKE THE ENTIRE THING.
I CAN GET ALL THAT INFORMATION TO THE BOARD, I CAN GET THAT THE, UM, WHAT'S BEING CONTEMPLATED AND, AND WHAT WHAT TIMELINE IS ON IT, AS WELL AS WHAT THE NEEDS THE INVENTORY IS RIGHT NOW THAT
AND THEN I THINK IT'LL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO SAY, OH YEAH, WE'RE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT THAT, OR THAT, BUT WE'RE MISSING, I STILL WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT AND THEN WE CAN COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND GO FROM THERE.
WE, I THINK THAT MAKES IT, TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW WHAT IS ALREADY IN THE MO WHAT'S ALREADY IN MOTION ON DAVIS AND WHAT'S WHAT THE TIMELINE FOR THAT.
AND THEN WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE BOND THAT'S RELEVANT.
AND THEN WHAT GAPS DO WE SEE AS A BOARD THAT FIT WITHIN MISSION.
IF IT DOESN'T FIT WITHIN THE MISSION, HOW DO WE CONSIDER A REVISION, LET'S SAY MISSION TO THE DAVIS GARDEN TIF DISTRICT PROJECT PLAN? IS THERE A REVISION OR ADDITION WE NEED TO MAKE, GO THROUGH THAT APPROVAL PROCESS SO THAT GAP CAN BE, UM, SATISFIED.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
SEEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, WE CAN MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX.
ADJOURNMENT, DECLARE IN THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 3:46 PM IN THE AFTERNOON.
UM, SO THAT YOU CAN, UH, I CAN STOP RECORDING.
IS, IS NICK STAFF OR IS UM, HIS NEIGHBOR NICK.
