[Special Park and Recreation Board Meeting on August 10, 2023]
GOOD MORNING.WE CONVENED THIS SPECIALLY CALLED PARKS AND RECREATIONS BOARD MEETING.
TO ORDER WITH THAT, OUR FIRST, UH, POINT OF BUSINESS PUBLIC SPEAKERS, MS. SECRETARY, THIS MORNING WE HAVE FOUR SPEAKERS.
EACH SPEAKER WILL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
PLEASE DIRECT YOUR COMMENTS TO THE CHAIR.
ONLY ANY SPEAKER WHO MAKES PERSONAL PER PROP MARKS OR BECOMES BOISTEROUS WHILE ADDRESSING THE PARK BOARD OR RESORTS TO THROWING OBJECTS WILL BE OUR FIRST SPEAKER.
IS VIRTUAL, NOT ABLE TO SEE? WOULD YOU MIND STARTING TO SPEAK AND THEN YOUR, SEE IF YOUR VIDEO COMES UP.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE, UH, WHITE ROCK LAKE TRAIL ALONG GARLAND ROAD.
THERE'S THIS EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF EROSION UNDER THAT TRAIL, AND IT HAS BECOME DANGEROUS.
AND SINCE I'VE SENT YOU AND I SENT YOU AN EMAIL BACK IN THE SPRING OF A SURVEY OF THE AREA FROM THE WATER.
AND I SENT YOU AN EMAIL THIS MORNING OF A SURVEY OF THE AREA FROM THE LAND.
AND WHAT I FOUND OUT SINCE I LAST COMMUNICATED WITH YOU IS THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY GAS LINES UNDER THE, THERE'S A GAS LINE AND FIBER OPTICS UNDERNEATH THIS CANTILEVER CON CONCRETE AT WHITE ROCK LAKE.
NOW, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST HEAVILY USED TRAILS IN DALLAS.
IT'S IMMEDIATELY CONTIGUOUS TO GARLAND ROAD.
THERE'S NOT EVEN A, AN INCH THAT SEPARATES IT.
UM, AND IT IS, IT IS SLIDING INTO THE LAKE.
SO YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE THE PICTURES THAT I SENT.
AND I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE AREA AND THE WATER.
I WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE CRACKS LOOK LIKE AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE UNDERNEATH AND WHY THOSE CRACKS ARE THERE.
I WANTED TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH LAND WE'VE LOST FROM EROSION.
I SHOWED YOU WHERE THE SEA WALL WA IS AND HOW AND WHERE THE SHORE IS.
THE THING THAT IS NOT EASY TO SHOW YOU IS THAT IF YOU'RE ON THE EDGE OF THAT SHORE, YOU CANNOT TELL THAT IT IS UNDERCUT WITH WATER.
UH, YOU THINK YOU'RE STANDING ON SOLID LAND, BUT YOU WERE STANDING ON ABOUT SIX INCHES OF LAND THAT IS BEING UNDERCUT UNDER.
SO, AND THERE'S ONE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN STAND 10 FEET UP, AND IT'S LIKE WILEY COYOTE AND ROAD RUNNER STUFF WHERE YOU COULD JUST, WHERE THE WHOLE THING COULD SHEAR OFF BECAUSE OF THE WAVE, UH, EROSION UNDERNEATH.
SO THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS COLLAPSES, AND I OUTLINE THOSE.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN THIS AREA.
THERE'S A TXDOT STUDY, UH, WE JUST FOUND OUT THIS WEEK THAT THE SPILLWAY NEEDS TO BE REDONE.
UH, WE, UH, THERE, OF COURSE, THE GAS LINES THAT I MENTIONED, UH, THE GAS LINE UNDER THE TRAIL IS THERE.
AND THIS TRAIL IS JUST HANGING CANTILEVER, NOT DESIGNED TO BE CANTILEVERED.
SO THE PROPOSAL THAT I'M MAKING IS THAT WE DON'T TRY TO SAVE THAT TRAIL.
IT'S, IT WOULD BE THROWING GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD.
SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS PROPOSE THAT THE EROSION RETENTION WALL BE BUILT OUT 20 TO 30 FEET FROM A GARLAND ROAD, SO THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PUT A, A TRAIL ON TERRA FIRMA AND NOT BUILD A CANTILEVER TRAIL AND TRY TO, OR TRY TO SAVE THIS PATH, THIS MOST DANGEROUS TRAIL.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE HAD A SETBACK.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS ADDRESSED UNDER THE EROSION FUNDING BOND ISSUE THAT IN THREE MINUTES.
NEXT, YOUR NEXT SPEAKER'S IN PERSON IS MS. TIANA AMOS.
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT THAT ISSUE? YES, SIR.
CAN WE DISCUSS THAT AT SOME POINT, UM, WITH IT TODAY? I KNOW WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT EROSION, YOU KNOW, AND, AND PROBABLY DREDGING IN WHITE ROCK.
AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE D W DISCUSSION, BUT I'M HEARING MORE AND MORE ABOUT THAT TRAIL.
AND I JUST WANT TO, AS IT RELATES TO WHITE ROCK AND THE DREDGING AND EVERYTHING ELSE, I JUST, I DON'T WANT, I WANT, I WOULD LIKE SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT IF POSSIBLE.
YEAH, MS. SENIOR, LET'S PUT IT AS ONE OF THE BRIEFING IN COMING MEETINGS.
[00:05:01]
AND TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF DISTRICT THREE IN REGARDS TO ADVOCATING FOR, UM, THE GLENDALE PARK PROJECT UNDER MR. TAYLOR.IN ORDER TO DO SO, I JUST WANNA TELL YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME.
UH, I MOVED TO OAK CLIFF AT THE END OF MY JUNIOR YEAR IN THE SUMMER.
SO I'VE LIVED IN OAK CLIFF FOR TWO, GOING ON THREE YEARS NOW.
OAK CLIFF HAS BECOME MY HOME AND MY COMMUNITY, BUT I DID LIVE IN PLANO FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF MY LIFE, MY CHILDHOOD.
AND, UM, I WANT TO SAY THAT ALTHOUGH I DID LIVE IN PLANO, OAK CLIFF IS MY HOME.
AND I'VE GOTTEN TO WITNESS A DREAM COMMUNITY AND CULTURE HERE.
AND I'VE GOTTEN TO WORK ALONG WITH PEOPLE AT FOUR OAK CLIFF WHO FIND PASSION AND PURPOSE POURING BACK INTO THE VILLAGE THAT RAISED THEM.
AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT BUILDS, THAT NOURISHES AND INVIGORATES A COMMUNITY THAT'S GIVEN THE SCRAPS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL IS NO LONGER A JOB, BUT A LIFE MISSION.
SO WHEN I WAS IN THIRD AND FOURTH GRADE, MY FAMILY AND I WAS, WAS HOMELESS.
SO WE CONSIST, THIS CONSISTS OF LIVING IN CARS OR DIFFERENT HOTELS, SORRY, MY PARENTS SOMETIMES COULDN'T HOTEL ROOMS. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A LOCAL PARK, AND THIS IS BOT PLANO, BUT THE PARKS THERE, THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL.
AND SO AS LITTLE KIDS, I'M SEEING A WORLD IN WHICH WE COULD PLAY AND HAVE FUN, NOT THE NOTION THAT I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO SLEEP.
THAT NIGHT, THIS PARK HAD A TRAIL AND MAKE A WATER FOUNTAIN, TWO PLAYGROUNDS, A BASKETBALL COURT, GAZEBOS, RESTROOMS, DUCKS, A SAND VOLLEYBALL COURT.
SO IT WAS LIKE MY DREAM, ALTHOUGH THE SITUATION I I WAS IN WAS A THAT FRAME.
UM, SO I JUST WANNA SHARE A LITTLE STORY.
MY SISTER AND I GOT A PAPER FOR OUR BACKPACKS, AND WE MADE THIS TIME CAPSULE AND WE SAID, WHEN WE GET A HOME, WE ARE GONNA COME BACK AND DIG THIS TIME CAPSULE UP, AND WE PUT IT IN THE SAND VOLLEYBALL PORTION OF THAT COURT.
THIS GOES TO SAY THAT ALL THE PARKS ARE PLACES FOR COMMUNITIES TO GATHER AND COME TOGETHER.
THEY ARE PLACES OF REFUGE OF PEACE.
HOWEVER, IT'S THE ATMOSPHERE THAT INDUCES THAT SAFE, HIDDEN IN A COMMUNITY LIKE OAK CLIFF.
I DON'T SEE THOSE PARKS THAT OTHER KIDS HAVE ACCESS TO.
UP NORTH, A PARK IS A PILLAR ACT THAT ACTS ACCESS THE BACKBONE OF THE COMMUNITY.
IT'S A FOUNDATION THAT'S CRITICAL TO SHOWING CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT RESIDED.
IT GIVES BOTH KIDS AND ADULTING PLACES TO ESCAPE TO FEEL FREE AND TO RELEASE THE HEAVINESS THAT COMES WITH LIVING IN A LOWER INCOME ENVIRONMENT.
IF YOU GUYS GIVE TO THIS PROJECT, AND I KNOW I CAN'T REALLY DIVE IN WITH THREE MINUTES.
YOU'RE NOT JUST INVESTING INTO DISTRICT THREE, BUT YOU'RE INVESTING INTO A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR COMMUNITY, OFTEN DIMMED BY CIRCUMSTANCE.
SO I HOPE YOU GUYS GENUINELY CONSIDER THIS AND TAKE IT LIKE, UH, LIKE SERIOUSLY.
AND I THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TIME.
NO, THANK YOU SO MUCH, UM, BOARD FOR ALLOWING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
I'M REPRESENTING MY COMPANY, AARON JOHNSON FITNESS CLUB.
OVER THE LAST 13 YEARS, UM, WE HAVE, MY COMPANY HAS BEEN PROMOTING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES IN DALLAS-FORT WORTH WITH OUR PROGRAM, THE SKATE BUD FITNESS CAMP.
WE'VE WORKED WITH THE PARK AND RECREATION CENTERS.
WE WORKED WITH OVER 50 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS HERE IN DALLAS.
AND WE'VE HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS IN MARCH OF, UH, THIS PAST YEAR.
UH, DALLAS WAS RANKED NUMBER ONE, UM, IN SPORTS BUSINESS, THE NUMBER ONE CITY FOR SPORTS BUSINESS IN THE COUNTRY.
IMAGINE WITH ME DALLAS BEING RANKED THE NUMBER ONE HEALTHIEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY, STARTING WITH OUR CHILDREN.
AND THAT'S WHAT I, THAT'S MY PROPOSAL TODAY.
A A NEW SPORTS FITNESS LEAGUE FOR, UM, THE DALLAS PARKS AND RECREATION CENTERS.
UM, THE SKATE BUD FITNESS CAMP IS PART OF THAT PROGRAM AND, UM, WORKING AS WELL AS WORKING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN, UM, THE PARTS OF RECREATION SYSTEMS TO PROMOTE THIS HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE FOR KIDS.
I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.
WE WORKED AT, UM, THE PARK OF RECREATION CENTERS, LIKE I SAID, FOR A DECADE NOW AT SMALLER LEVELS.
WE VOLUNTEERED AT DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. WE'VE WORKED, UM, AS CONTRACT FEE VENDORS, UM, FOR YEARS IN THE DEPARTMENT RECREATION CENTERS, BUT NOW WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN TAKE ON A LARGER ROLE AND BEING MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR, UM, THE KIDS AND THE KID FITNESS HERE IN, UM, IN DALLAS, TEXAS.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO, INTRODUCE MYSELF, INTRODUCE MY COMPANIES.
I SENT YOU OUT, YOU GUYS AN EMAIL AND, UM, WITH SOME OF THE DATA THAT WE WERE ABLE TO COLLECT FROM THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS, WHICH WE WORKED WITH FOR OVER 10 PLUS YEARS, UM, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE DATA FROM, I'M SURE YOU, YOU KNOW, ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE FITNESS PROGRAM.
UM, THE NATIONAL FITNESS ASSESSMENT TEST IN DALLAS.
OUR THIRD GRADERS ARE, ARE FAILING THAT TEST AT AN 80% RATE.
UH, WE HAVE CREATED A PROGRAM, DESIGNED A PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT TEST.
[00:10:01]
AND, UM, AND THE SKATE ABOVE PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED, UH, TREMENDOUS RESULTS, UH, FOR ER REC CENTERS AND OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS HERE IN, UH, DALLAS.SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.
UM, I WOULD LOVE TO, UH, REACH OUT TO YOU OR BE ABLE TO CONTACT EACH OF YOU, OR WE CAN, UM, UM, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
THIS IS MOTHER Q A SESSION, BUT WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMPANY.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. LUTHER BERNSTEIN.
UH, MS.
I'VE SEEN HIM OVER THE PAST 18 YEARS WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AND ALL OF THEIR PROGRAMMING THAT THEY'VE MADE AN IMPACT WITH AFTERSCHOOL WITH OUR KIDS IN OUR CITY.
UM, I'M REALLY IMPRESSED ON HOW YOU'VE GROWN OVER THE YEARS, SO THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP HERE TODAY, ERIC.
MR. PRESIDENT, MAY, MAY I, REAL QUICK, I'LL, I'LL BE VERY BRIEF.
YES, MR. TO THE LADY WHO JUST SPOKE PRIOR TO MR. JOHNSON.
UH, BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE ROOM, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE IF THERE'S ANYONE IN, IN THE ROOM FROM STAFF THAT CAN ENSURE YOU GET THE REGISTRATION INFORMATION TO, UH, TO THE UPCOMING COMMUNITY BOND TASK FORCE MEETINGS.
THE CRUCIAL ONES ARE AUGUST 15TH AND AUGUST 22ND.
UH, IF SOMEONE COULD GET YOU THAT REGISTRATION AND, AND YOU PLEASE COME DELIVER THAT SAME MESSAGE, UH, YOUR VOICE NEEDS TO BE HEARD AND IT NEEDS TO BE HEARD THERE TOO.
OKAY, MADAM SECRETARY, MR. BERNSTEIN BEGINS.
I OWN AND OPERATE THE INTERSTATE ROLLER RINK IN LEWISVILLE, TEXAS.
IT WAS BUILT IN 1981 IN, UM, MY PREVIOUS HISTORY.
I, UH, HAD THE CONCESSION IN THE 1980S FOR THE OUTDOOR SKATE WITH THE PARK DEPARTMENT NEXT TO THE PADDLE BOATS AT BACHMAN LAKE.
I HAVE HAD IN THE PAST, UM, NINE ROLLER RINKS IN THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA.
I BUILT GARLAND SKATELAND, WHICH IS NOW CALLED WESTLAKE.
I BUILT THE REDBIRD SKATELAND IN DUNCANVILLE.
I BUILT THE FOUR ROLLER WORLD IN GRAND PRAIRIE.
I HAVE ONE RINK LEFT, WHICH IS INTERSCAPE.
I'M VERY INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH THE PARK DEPARTMENT ON THE MANAGEMENT, UH, LEVEL, SUCH AS WITH THE GOLF AND WITH THE TENNIS, UH, AND, UH, HELPING THE CITY TO HAVE A BETTER SOUTHERN SKATE OPERATION.
I VISITED THE OPERATION IN JUNE AND SPENT TWO HOURS ON THE PREMISES.
UH, LOOKING EVERYTHING OVER AND FROM MY EVALUATION.
IT'S AN EXCELLENT OPERATION, BUT IT COULD BE FURTHER DEVELOPED TO BE MORE PROFITABLE, MORE INTO THE COMMUNITY FOR PROVIDING SERVICES FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CLIENTELE THAT THEY HAVE.
I WANT TO TRY TO GET THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
UH, I WOULD ENVISION HAVING, UH, ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 20 EMPLOYEES IN THE 18 TO 25 YEAR OLD.
THE YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO BE THE ONES THAT DEAL WITH THE PUBLIC RIGHT NOW.
UH, IN ALL AREAS OF ENTERTAINMENT, I, UH, WOULD, FIRST, ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS I WOULD DO IS IMPROVISE AND MAIN START A STEM PROGRAM THAT I WOULD DO, WHICH WOULD BE WORKING FOR THE DAYTIME HOURS, WHICH THEY WOULD BRING THE, UH, KIDS TO THE, UH, SKATING RINK, UM, TO BE TAUGHT ABOUT, UH, STEM PROGRAM.
PLEASE, EXCUSE ME, JUST A MOMENT.
UM, I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE THE FACILITIES THAT I HAVE TO MAKE MORE MONEY FOR THE CITY AND TO MAKE THE OPERATION A MUCH BETTER, UH, CLASS OF OPERATION.
UM, TO HAVE A SKATING REVIEW, THREE THINGS YOU NEED TO HAVE A GOOD SKATE FLOOR, A GOOD SOUND SYSTEM, AND LIGHTS AND GOOD RENTAL SKATES.
AT THIS POINT, UM, IF I COULD JUST START, UH, THE PROCESS WITH THE PARK DEPARTMENT ABOUT TRYING TO DO A MANAGEMENT CONTRACT, I SURE WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
UH, I GAVE THE LADY, UH, A FREE PASS TO VISIT MY RINK.
YOU CAN BRING YOUR, UM, KIDS, MR. THAT IN THREE MINUTES.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SOMEONE CONTACTING ME ABOUT A MANAGEMENT, UH, CONTRACT.
UH, AND I WANT TO OPERATE IT AS A SKATING RINK AND MAKE IT THANK YOU, SIR.
UH, THAT TAKES CARE OF OUR PUBLIC SPEAKER.
[00:15:01]
IMPORTANT REASON WE ARE HERE TODAY, THE WORKSHOP.SO, UH, MR. JENKINS AND STAFF HAS REALLY DONE SOME INCREDIBLE WORK IN THE SHORT TIME OF ONE WEEK, REALLY GOING THROUGH LITERALLY EVERY PLAYGROUND, EVERY FACILITIES TO COME UP WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, THEY HAVE TODAY.
I KNOW THERE'LL BE A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS.
I KNOW THERE MIGHT BE SOME, UH, YOU KNOW, EMOTIONAL REQUESTS AND ALL.
SO I THINK WE'LL JUST, LET'S KEEP IT WHERE THERE ARE NO INTERRUPTIONS AND WE'LL GO WITH THE PURE WAY WHERE EVERYONE IS HEARD.
AND, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THERE'S SO MUCH WORK, WHICH HAS GONE, I PERSONALLY WITNESSED TO COME WITH IT.
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY.
BUT OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO DO THE BEST FOR THE CITY AND THE, SO, BUT THAT FLOOR IS YOURS, MR. JENKINS.
UH, AS, UH, AS PRESIDENT, UH, AALL MENTIONED, UH, YEAH.
OH, THIS LAST WEEK WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD.
FORTUNATELY I COULDN'T GET THE NUMBER DOWN TO THE THREE 50 TARGET YET.
UH, WE'VE GOT $80 MILLION DELTA, UH, UH, ALL WEEK.
CHRIS, JARED, TRENT AND OTHERS.
RENEE BEEN IN THIS ROOM WITH ME,
AND I'M TRYING NOT TO GET BACK IN THOSE BAD HABITS SO I CAN SURVIVE A COUPLE MORE YEARS IN THIS ROW, BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT, BUT WE JUST COULDN'T GET THERE.
AND I'M GONNA NEED Y'ALL HELP TODAY.
AS, AS, AS MR. OVERALL MENTIONED, I'M GONNA NEED YOUR HELP TO CONTINUE TO GIVE US SOME GUIDANCE SO WE, THAT ALL OF US CAN COME UP, COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO TRY TO CLOSE THAT DELTA AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ON THE 80.
UH, WE'RE NOT GONNA GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION DAY, IT REALLY IS A WORKSHOP TODAY,
UH, AND SO I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE YOU JUST STRAIGHT TO, YOU KNOW, THE, WHERE I MADE SOME CHANGES AND, AND GET YOUR FEEDBACK.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, UH, JARED IS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT ME TO, I CAN JUST TAKE 'EM THROUGH REAL QUICK ON THE CHANGES I MADE, I THINK, YEAH, I THINK WE JUST, JUST DIVE IN AND, AND START GOING THROUGH THE CHANGES WITH THE CAT, UH, CATEGORIES.
THAT BEING SAID, YOU ALL COULD JUST GO STRAIGHT TO SLIDE NUMBER SEVEN.
AND MR. JENKINS, IF I CAN ADD WHILE HE WAS DOING IT, I THINK THEY'VE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION EVERYTHING, WHICH EVERY BOARD MEMBER SPOKE LAST TIME.
AT THE SAME TIME, SOME THINGS WE MIGHT HAVE MISSED AS A GROUP, WHICH HE FEELS THERE MIGHT BE NEEDS, WHICH WE MIGHT HAVE IGNORED.
SO, SO EVERYONE'S, UH, NEEDS HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED WHILE THIS WAS
UH, YEAH, SO THESE ARE JUST MY RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND SO, UH, WE LOOKED AT THE AD COMPLIANCE.
UM, BUT THE AGENCY MATCHES, AND I DON'T KNOW, IS RYAN, YEAH, I NEED RYAN IN THE ROOM AS WELL.
SO WHEN I LOOKED AT THE AGENCY MATCHES AND WE GOING END UP GOING TO THE SLIDES, SO, YOU KNOW, WE MAY BE, I JUST WANNA SHOW ON THIS ONE JUST A COMPARISON WHERE IT WAS.
AND THEN WHEN WE GET TO THE SLIDES ON EACH ONE OF THESE, I GIVE YOU MY EXPLANATION ON AND MY JUSTIFICATION WHY I DECIDE ON CERTAIN DOLLAR AMOUNTS OR WHICH PROJECTS DIDN'T MAKE IT ABOVE THE LINE.
SO YOU SEE ON THE AGENCY MATCHES, THAT WAS A BIGGIE.
UH, THAT ONE WENT FROM 3.89 TO 27.5.
YOU LOOK AT THE AQUATICS, WASN'T MUCH CHANGE THERE.
IT WAS ON A $2 MILLION DELTA VERSUS WHAT WE PRESENTED LAST WEEK.
ATHLETIC FIELD DEVELOPMENT, THERE WAS A CHANGE.
IT WENT FROM 14 TO 23 MILLION.
ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHTING WASN'T A BIG CHANGE.
ONLY CHANGE IS, WHEN WE GET TO THAT SLIDE IS I JUST HAD TO STAFF.
I MEAN, I GET IT, EVERYONE HAS SOME PRIORITIES, BUT WE HIRED A CONSULTANT TO GO OUT AND TEST THESE LIGHT POLES.
I GOTTA PUT THOSE IN THE ORDER OF SAFETY BASED ON THE CONSULTANT RECOMMENDATION.
WE CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH MONEY FOR EROSION CONTROL YOU ALL.
SO I WOULD NEED 50, $70 MILLION TO MAKE A REAL IMPACT ON EROSION CONTROL IN THE, IN THE SYSTEM.
COULD I ASK A QUICK QUESTION? YEAH.
JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE, WHAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NUMBER AND THE PARENTHESIS AND THE YES.
SO THE FIRST NUMBER YOU SEE IS, UH, LIKE EROSION CONTROL.
THE THREE MAJOR ONE I'M RECOMMENDING NOW, THE 4.86 IS WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED.
[00:20:03]
THANK YOU.THIS IS BASED ON THE PIE CHART.
MR. DAWSON IMPROVES, AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT ONE WENT FROM, UH, I'M RECOMMENDING 10 MILLION.
IT WAS 21, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOME OTHER WAYS WE CAN FINANCE THE GOLF COURSES.
UH, LAND ACQUISITION, UH, WHEN WE GET TO THAT SLIDE, I EXPLAINED WHY THAT NUMBER WENT UP QUITE A BIT.
YEAH, I, THIS IS MORE FOR MORE LIKE BIG MASTER PLANS BECAUSE I WOULD NEED A LOT MORE MONEY TO FINANCE INDIVIDUAL DISTRICT MASTER PLANS.
UH, MULTI-DEPARTMENTAL PROJECTS.
I EXPLAINED IT, BUT IT WAS 35 MILLION.
I TOOK IT DOWN TO 21 MILLION PARTNERSHIP MATCHES.
UH, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT WENT UP.
THAT WAS THE DISCUSSION WITH THE BOARD AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING.
UH, I THINK I TICKED THAT WHEN THE BOARD HAD ALREADY MOVED IT UP AT THE LAST MEETING TO ABOUT 70 MILLION, 65 MILLION.
UH, IT PRETTY MUCH STAYED THE SAME, JUST JUST ROUNDED UP DISCRETIONARY FUND PROJECTS.
I DID TAKE THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT 'CAUSE THERE'S NO WAY I COULD HAVE FUNDED SOME OF THESE OTHER THINGS WITHOUT TAKING THAT NUMBER DOWN.
UH, PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE, WE JUST HAD TO GO BY WHICH ONE WAS IN THE WORST CONDITION TO MAKE SURE WE GET ONE OUT OF THE PROBABLY EIGHT BRIDGES NEED TO BE REPLACED.
YOU SEE PLAYGROUND, THE BOARD DISCUSSION FROM THE WEEK BEFORE, UH, YOU KNOW, IT WAS DEFINITELY A PRIORITY FOR THE BOARD.
BUT THEN ONCE WE, WE LITERALLY, UH, AND IRE GOT A CHANCE TO SEE IT WHEN HE CAME IN.
WE, I HAD THE TEAM BACK THERE.
WE WERE GOING PARK BY PARK DOING DR.
THE MAP, LOOKING IN ON THE PLAYGROUND, TRYING TO SEE WHAT CONDITION IS IN.
WE ALSO LOOKED AT ALL OUR VACANT PROPERTIES.
WE WENT IN, WE WANTED TO SEE THE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND IT, WHO DOESN'T SERVE.
DID WE MISS ANYTHING? AND THERE WAS A COUPLE PLAYGROUNDS THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDED BECAUSE I MEAN, LITERALLY SAT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD AND DIDN'T HAVE NOTHING.
SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I CAPTURED THOSE.
BUT, UH, SO THERE IS DEFINITELY WAS A THOUGHT PROCESS AND METHODOLOGY IN PLACE WHEN IT CAME TO A LOT OF THIS STUFF THAT WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON.
THAT'S JUST GONNA BE A TOUGH ONE.
YOU ALL THE NEEDS IS GREATER THAN WHAT IT THEN THE MONEY THAT'S AVAILABLE.
BUT THAT'S ANOTHER BIG CATEGORY.
AND THEN I, THINGS THAT I REALLY WANTED TO PROBABLY REPLACE.
I, YOU KNOW, I'M LIKE, LET'S JUST LOOK AT THE HARD DATA WHERE YOU, WE WENT OUT AND DID THE ASSESSMENT.
SO THIS, THIS, THE, UH, THAT SHOULD BE THE WHOLE SEPARATE CATEGORY THAT SAYS MAJOR RENOVATION.
UM, 'CAUSE THAT'S WHERE THAT 12 POINT $11 MILLION IS.
UH, WE JUST HAD TO GO WHERE WE DID THE ASSESSMENT AND KIND OF WENT IN IT.
AND THESE WERE THE TOP ONES WHEN YOU GET TO THAT SLIDE THAT REALLY NEEDED EITHER HVAC OR SOME TYPE OF INTERIOR RENOVATION.
AND, AND WE HAVE THE DATA THAT SUPPORTS THAT SERVICE CENTERS, THAT'S A TOUGH ONE.
BUT EVEN A BOARD MEMBER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE ALL OUR BUILDING, I ONLY HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS THERE FOR THAT.
BUT IT WAS LIKE YOU HADN'T FINISHED OUT THE SECOND FLOOR AND YOU DIDN'T ASK ME ANY MONEY FOR THAT.
AND IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
AND, AND I AGREE A HUNDRED PERCENT.
UH, SITE DEVELOPMENT, WE COULD DO THAT WHEN WE GET THAT SLIDE.
SPECIALTY PARKS DIDN'T TOUCH IT MUCH SPRAY GROUND.
UH, WE REALLY HAVE A LOT OF, OF THE FIRST GENERATION PLAYGROUNDS AND I THINK A LOT OF YOU ALL WILL AGREE THEY'RE IN BAD SHAPE.
I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN JUSTIFY PUTTING NEW PLAYGROUNDS.
BUT I GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF OLD PLAYGROUNDS THAT HAVE THEY TO DESCRIBE 'EM.
AND SO WE NEED TO ADD SPRUCE 'EM UP AND ADD SOME MORE, UH, APPARATUS TO 'EM.
BRING THEM UP TO MAKE 'EM RELEVANT TO THE USERS.
AGAIN, UH, CIS WIRE LIGHTING ONCE AGAIN, UH, UH, STAFF HAD ALREADY THAT ONE.
I PREFER TO JUST HAVE A POT OF MONEY.
'CAUSE WE KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE, WE KNOW WE'RE WORKING WITH D P D RIGHT NOW AND THE MARGINS FROM IDENTIFYING WHERE WE HAVE THE GREATEST NEED FOR SECURITY, LIKE WHERE WE'RE HAVING ISSUES IN THE BOX AND THEN THE TENANT AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT WENT DOWN AND TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS PRETTY MUCH STAYED THE SAME.
SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH, BECAUSE, UH, LET'S GO STRAIGHT THROUGH GOING
[00:25:01]
TO THE PRIORITY AGENT MATCHES, UH, BECAUSE WE KNOW WE, WE ARE GOING AVERAGE.AND I'M GONNA SLIDE 13 YOU ALL AND WHERE'S RYAN O'CONNOR? IF HE CAN JUST COME ON TO THE TABLE NOW.
OKAY, ALL YOUR NICKNAME DIANA.
WHERE'S RENEE? SHE CAN COME ON TO THE TABLE NOW.
SO WHEN IT CAME TO THE AGENCY MATCHES, UH, AND RYAN, YOU CAN EXPLAIN, BUT WE KNOW IN THE WHITE ROCK DREDGING, WE HAVE AGENCIES THAT WE KNOW IN ORDER TO GET THAT LAKE DREDGED.
WE KNOW THAT WE'LL BE SEEKING FEDERAL, UH, GRANTS, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE STATE, WE'RE GONNA NEED MONEY AND WE KNOW WE'RE ABLE TO GET THE MONEY.
SO WE NEED THE MONEY TO GO TOWARDS THE MATCH.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS.
UH, NOW ON THE CITYWIDE, ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS RYAN.
YOU WANNA EXPLAIN WITH THE SCHOOL SCHOOLS AND WHY THE 7.5 IS NEEDED ON THE AGENCY MATCH THERE? SO WE, UH, WE ROUTINELY PARTNER WITH WHAT I REFER TO AS AGENCY.
SO FREQUENTLY, THESE ARE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, UH, SPECIFICALLY COOL SCHOOLS, AS Y'ALL KNOW, A KIND OF A SIGNATURE PROGRAM WE'VE HAD FOR SEVERAL YEARS WHERE WE PARTNER WITH THE I S D AND R I S D TO BUILD, UM, YOU KNOW, PLAYGROUNDS ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES.
SO WE HAVE MONEY IDENTIFIED IN THAT POD.
WE ALSO ROUTINELY WORK WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, FOLKS LIKE DALLAS COLLEGE.
UM, WE HAVE MANY EXAMPLES THAT WE FREQUENTLY, UM, NEED FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH, UM, OUR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES.
I, I MEAN, I KNOW I NEED MORE ATHLETIC FIELDS AND GOOD EXAMPLES LIKE DALLAS COLLEGE AND U I MEAN NORTH TEXAS, U N T, DALLAS, U N T DALLAS, WE'RE ALREADY IN DISCUSSION WITH MA'AM.
WE CAN UTILIZE THEIR ATHLETIC FIELDS WE, THAT WE CAN BUILD.
THEY PUT IN MONEY, THEY, AND WE CAN UTILIZE THEIR ATHLETIC FIELDS.
THAT'S GONNA HELP SOLVE A PROBLEM IN OUR SYSTEM THERE WHERE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ATHLETIC FIELDS.
SO THAT'S WHY THIS ONE WAS KIND OF LIKE A PRIORITY, BECAUSE IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM IN OUR SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.
ALL RIGHT, SO AQUATIC, DO YOU WANT, DO YOU WANT LET SAY YEAH, PLEASE.
I THINK MR. JENKINS, NO, I THINK LET'S JUST FINISH ALL OF MR. CONNOR WRITE QUESTION, PROCESS QUESTIONS PROCESS WISE.
LET'S JUST FINISH, YOU KNOW, HIS, UH, YOU KNOW, THE MAJOR FUNDING ATIONS AND WRITE DOWN YOUR QUESTIONS.
OTHERWISE WE SPIN OUT OF CONTROL.
WE'LL GO STRAIGHT TO AQUATICS NOW.
KNOW THAT, UH, NOT ENOUGH MONEY CAN'T FUND ALL THE FOODS.
I AM RECOMMENDED IF WE CAN ON THESE COMMUNITY POOLS, THESE ARE THE ONES THAT I'M RECOMMENDED.
THE ONES THAT'S BELOW THE LINE, WHICH IS YOU GO SLIDE 15, UH, I REMEMBER THIS, THE BONITA JUAREZ, YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.
WE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT DO WE REPURPOSE THAT POOL OF NO.
SO THAT'S WHY I WASN'T RECOMMENDING THIS IN THIS BOND PROGRAM.
WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
WHEN WE GET THE FUNDS, GLENDALE THE SAME WAY.
BUT WE KNOW GLENDALE, WE HAVE A MASTER PLAN AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, SYSTEMATICALLY START FUNDING THAT MASTER PLAN.
AND THAT'D BE LATE IN THIS PRESENTATION.
SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR GLENDALE, UH, MARTIN WEISS, UH, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MONEY.
DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
AND THEN WALNUT HERE, ONCE AGAIN, WE JUST NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBER AND THE BOARD MEMBER AND, AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE BEST USE OF WALDEN FIELD AND IF THERE'S REALLY A NEED FOR ME TO BE UH, UH, REPLACED, APPROVED, UH, NOW WE CAN GO TO THE ATHLETIC FIELD DEVELOPMENT.
YEAH, SO THAT WAS THE CATEGORY THAT I WENT UP FROM 14 TO 23.
UH, AND I KNOW THESE ATHLETIC FIELDS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE INTERNAL,
[00:30:03]
THEY REALLY ARE.AND THEY REALLY GOTTA BE REGRADED AND DRAINAGE.
YOU ALL MAY NOT GET THE COMPLAINTS, BUT WE DO GET THE COMPLAINTS FROM ATHLETIC PEOPLE.
I JUST THINK WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO BE THE 2.5 AND MAYBE YOU UP BEING LIKE 1.5 THAT CAN GET US ENOUGH TO DO SOME GRADING.
SO WE CAN PROBABLY GET SOME MONEY BACK ON THIS ONE, ESPECIALLY IF I MAY TO KIND OF DO IT IN-HOUSE.
BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY THE LIST THAT'S RECOMMENDED.
AND THE REASON WHY YOU SEE JOEY JARUS IS OUT THERE, BECAUSE WE DID A MASTER PLAN
UH, AND SO YEAH, THESE NUMBERS GOTTA COME DOWN.
'CAUSE LAST, THIS MORNING, LIKE I SAID, I, I REDUCED THESE NUMBERS, SO I THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA GET BACK ANOTHER $10 MILLION FROM THIS.
'CAUSE SOME OF THESE NUMBERS ARE GONNA COME DOWN, ALRIGHT, BUT THE TAYLOR FIELDS, I JUST DON'T THINK WE CAN MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY ON THE ATHLETIC FIELDS DOWNTOWN TO SERVE FAMILIES AND ADULTS.
UH, AND THEN THE OTHER ONE BE, I TALKED ABOUT GEORGIA GOODS, SO WE CAN MOVE ON THE MONEYGRAM, UH, I SAID THEY'RE NOT BEING RECOMMENDED BE FUNDED IN THIS TRANCHE.
I MEAN, YEAH, THEY ARE, BUT UH, THEY DO NEED ADDITIONAL PARKING OUT THERE.
UH, I'VE BEEN OUT THERE SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE WHERE JUST NOT ENOUGH PARKING.
I'M GONNA MOVE ON TO, UH, ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHTING.
I ALREADY GAVE THAT EXPLANATION THOUGH.
WE REALLY NEED TO FOLLOW THE CONSULTANT RECOMMENDATION EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE $20 MILLION WORTH OF NEEDS.
BUT WE'LL LOOK AT THE ONES THAT'S BEING RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE IMMEDIATELY MOTION CONTROL JUST LESS IN THE PAST.
I KNOW YOU ALL SENT IN SPECIFIC PROJECTS, BUT LESSON IN THE PAST IS WE JUST NEED A RO CONTROL MONEY AND WE NEED TO MOVE IT WHERE WE, WE GOT EROSION, IT'S GONNA JEOPARDIZE ONE OF OUR STRUCTURES OR SOMETHING.
I TOOK THAT ONE DOWN AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING.
I TOLD YOU WHY I FELT LIKE THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
I DO FEEL LIKE ROSEMEAD WE COULD DEFINITELY LEVERAGE WITH A PARTNERSHIP TO GET THAT ACCOMPLISHED IF WE BUILD THAT PARTICULAR GOLF COURSE ON POINT.
AND I DO THINK IT'LL THROW US OFF ENOUGH REVENUES THAT COULD HELP OTHER NEEDS AS IT RELATES TO OUR GOLF COURSES.
UH,
UH, ONCE AGAIN, I THINK THE REVENUES IN THAT CLUBHOUSE WILL HELP OFFSET, UH, EXPENSES AT OTHER GOLD IS GENERATING WITH ADDITIONAL REVENUE MAIN ACQUISITION.
THIS IS A TOUGH ONE RIGHT HERE.
I THE REASON WHY WE TOOK OFF THE LOCATIONS YOU ARE BECAUSE YOU, WE DON'T WANNA DRIVE UP PRICES BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHERE WE'RE LOOKING
MASTER PLAN, AS I MENTIONED, WE NEED A LOT MORE, WE NEED TO FOCUS ON BECAUSE WE KNOW WE NEED TO DO A MORE UPDATED COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN THAT LOOKS AT THE ENTIRE PARK SYSTEM.
OKAY? MULTI-DEPARTMENTAL SHARED USE FACILITIES.
UH, THE FOREST ID I DISCUSSED WITH Y'ALL LAST TIME.
THIS IS WHERE I THINK WE CAN LEVERAGE SOME PARTNERSHIP AS WELL TO GET SOME INDOOR FACILITIES AND, AND OTHER TYPE OF ACTIVITIES.
AND WE, AND IT DEFINITELY, WE THINK IT DEFINITELY WILL, WELL NOT THINK WORKED ON YESTERDAY.
WE'LL FIT THE FOOTPRINT, UH, THE 1200 GREENVILLE.
THAT NUMBER NEEDS TO COME DOWN, UH, BECAUSE WE GONNA DO THIS MORE IN-HOUSE.
SO I CAN TELL YOU YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO GET BACK ANOTHER $4 MILLION OUT OF THAT FROM THAT LOCATION.
I THINK WE CAN DO THAT FOR 2 MILLION.
THERE'S GONNA BE ERRORS IN THIS BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING ON IT LITERAL BE AT 8:55 AM THIS MORNING.
UH, AND MARTIN LUTHER KING, IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT.
BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEE HOW WE CAN WORK WITH OTHER PARTNERSHIPS TO BRING THIS TO FRUITION.
BUT YEAH, I THINK QUICK QUESTION.
YOU SAID MARTIN LUTHER KING DIDN'T MAKE IT ON THE MULTI-DEPARTMENT OF SHARED USE FACILITIES? NO, IT'S BELOW THE LINE BECAUSE IT IS ABOVE 15 D.
ANYTHING BELOW THE BLUE IS BELOW THE BLUE.
[00:35:17]
OKAY.ON TO, I DIDN'T TOUCH THE SMALL PARTNERSHIP MATCH.
I'M ON ON SLIDE 24, YOU ALL AND THEN LARGE PARTNERSHIP MATCH.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH MONEY AND WE
WE DO THINK EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT LISTED HERE, WE DO THINK ON SOME OF THESE, THERE'S SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO GET SOME FUNDING FROM OTHER POTS.
THAT'S, AND I'M GONNA LEAVE IT THERE.
UH, AND THE DISCRETIONARY, UH, LIKE I SAID IT WAS FOUR EIGHT.
I'M REQUESTING MAYBE I'LL TAKE THAT TO THREE.
WE STILL LEFT YOUR PROJECTS IN THERE AND OF COURSE THAT'S DISCRETIONARY WOULD BE UP TO YOU DECIDE WHICH THOSE PROJECTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO FUNNEL GOING TO THE NEXT CATEGORY, JUST PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES.
UH, SHE JUST HAD REALLY GO OFF TO STAFF AND, 'CAUSE THEY DID EVALUATION ON SOME OF THESE BRIDGES AND SO JUST AIN'T GOT ENOUGH MONEY.
SO WE DON'T PEOPLE REGISTER RENT PLAYGROUNDS, UH, SOME OF THESE MAPS ARE GONNA COME DOWN YOU ALL 'CAUSE IT JUST WON'T.
WE KNOW BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH SOME THOSE PLAYGROUNDS YESTERDAY THAT SOME LOOK LIKE, OH I JUST REALLY NEED A SHADE STRUCTURE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SOME IT'S LIKE, AND AND WE DO KNOW IF WE CAN GET THOSE SHADE STRUCTURES IN, WE CAN REALLY EXTEND THE LIFE OF THESE PLAYGROUNDS BECAUSE THE SUN TAKES A DIRECT, I MEAN IT REDUCES THE LIFE.
SO WE'RE JUST GONNA FIGURE OUT STRATEGICALLY HOW WE CAN EXPAND THE LIFE ON SOME OF THESE ZONES.
SO THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T GO UP TO THE ONES THAT EXPIRED IN 2020 OR 2018.
AND
NO, IT'S TAKING A TOLL ON IT FROM VANDALISM TO THE THUD AND THE PLAYGROUND NEED TO BE REPLACED.
SO WE'RE GOING, WE'RE STILL FINE TUNING THOSE PLAYGROUND NOTES.
I AM GOING TO GO IN AND SKIP THE RACKET SPORTS.
SO THOUGHT PROCESS HERE IS WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE ONE THING YOU ALL MENTIONED AT THE LAST MEETING IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF LOOK AT IF WE CAN'T ACQUIRE SOME PROPERTY BUILD ON STANDALONE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT SOME
UH, THEN AFTER CONSULTING WITH STAFF IT'S LIKE WELL THESE REC CENTERS, A LOT OF THEM ARE IN TIGHT SPACES ALREADY.
YOU GOT A LOT OF TREES AROUND 'EM AND YOU START TRYING TO ADD LIKE BASICALLY ANOTHER THING YOU AIN'T GOT A LOT TO WORK WITH.
THEN IT WAS LIKE WELL WE DO GOT THE TENNIS CENTERS SO WHY CAN'T WE LOOK AT ACTUALLY 'CAUSE THEY'RE GEOGRAPHICALLY LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
WE CAN LOOK AT THOSE TENANT CENTERS TO DO AN ADD ON.
AND THEN MOVING TO THE RECREATION CENTERS.
UH, AS I EXPLAINED THE LAST MEETING, XAL IS ONE OF OUR LAST, BUT I CALL DINOSAUR REC CENTER.
DOESN'T HAVE A GM BESIDES WITH MARTIN WHITES.
WELL MY WIFES HAVE A GM BUT IT'S NOT REALLY GM BUT XAL AND WHAT'S THE ONE WE GOT OUT? WE GOT ONE MORE OUT.
BUT THESE ARE CENTERS WE TOOK OUT OUT OF COMMISSION.
THE OTHER ONES WE TOOK OUT OF COMMISSION.
WE CALL THESE SMALL CENTERS BUT X I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THAT WE GO AHEAD, REPLACE THAT CENTER.
MARTIN WEISS, I JUST TOUCHED ON IT.
IT SHOULD HAVE THAT EXPANSION.
CAMPBELL GREEN IS, YES, IT NEEDS THAT MAJOR EXPANSION TO MAKE THAT CENTER FUNCTIONAL.
AGAIN, IT WOULD BE UP TO UH, UH, JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PUT ANOTHER 10 MILLION FOR THE AUDITORIUM, BUT THAT'D BE SOMETHING YOU ALL CAN DISCUSS AS WELL.
BUT I GOTTA GET THAT EXPANSION ON CAMERA
[00:40:01]
AND PIKE.YES, I TOUCHED ON IT LAST TIME.
WE NEED TO REALLY DO THE INTERIOR RENOVATION FOR THAT REC CENTER OR WHATEVER.
OR IF IT'S GONNA BE A CULTURE CENTER SLASH UH, WHITE ROCK HILLS.
UH, I DO THINK THERE'S A NEED FOR IT IN THE SERVICE AREA.
AND THEN THERE'S BUCKNER FORNEY.
I I I JUST REALLY LOVE THIS PROPERTY.
I SERVE TWO DISTRICTS, DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES.
WE'RE GONNA NEED TO LEVERAGE A LOT MORE WITH SOME PARTNERSHIPS TO REALLY BUILD IT OUT.
BUT I THINK WE'RE GONNA NEED, I KNOW WE'RE GONNA NEED THE $20 MILLION TO GET THIS WHOLE THING GOING.
'CAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT, IT IS IS RIGHT FOR ATHLETIC FIELD.
IT'S RIGHT FOR REGIONAL DRAW WHEN IT COMES TO FIRST BOTH UTILIZING THE REC CENTER COMPLEX SLASH SO THAT'S WHY IT'S BEING RECOMMENDED.
I WILL MOVE ON TO FOLLOW, JUST TO MAKE THE CUT AS BELOW THE LINE.
YOU ALL MOVE ON TO THE RANK CENTER RENOVATION.
ONCE AGAIN, THAT WAS TRULY BASED ON DATA ASSESSMENT.
WE WENT OUT, I WANTED $2 MILLION, TWO OR $3 MILLION RENOVATION AT THESE PLACES.
NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE FUNCTIONAL UNTIL WE CAN GET TO THE NEXT BOND PROGRAM.
THE SERVICE CENTER IN DISTRICT TWO, IF YOU ALL RECALL, WE END UP HAVING TO MOVE THAT MONEY 'CAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FINISH OUT TO GET THAT SERVICE CENTER BILL, BUT WE HAD ALREADY PURCHASED THE LAND.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE LEASING THE PROPERTY BACK TO THE FOLKS WHO WE BOUGHT THE LAND FROM.
THEY'RE STILL RUNNING THEIR OPERATION OUT THERE.
UH, BUT WE HAD MONEY FOR BOTH.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND GET THAT SERVICE CENTER BUILT.
AND THEN PAUL GUY WAS GO AHEAD AND FINISH OUT THAT SECOND LEVEL SITE DEVELOPMENT.
UH, YES GLENDALE, YOU KNOW WE HAVE A MASTER PLAN AND WE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA FINISH, WE'RE GONNA DO SOME OF PHASE ONE WITH THE CURRENT FUNDING WE HAVE AVAILABLE NOW, BUT WE NEED TO FINISH OUT THIS NEXT BOND PROGRAM, PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO.
IT'S THE SAME THING WITH CRAWFORD CRAWFORD'S KIND OF WORKING ON THEIR PHASE ONE WITH THE CURRENT FUNDING, BUT THEY DEFINITELY NEED TO FINISH OUT PHASE TWO.
UH, AND THESE ARE REGIONAL PARTS.
WE JUST HAVEN'T THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER, WE HAVEN'T INVESTED IN THESE PARK IN THE PAST SAMUEL GRAND.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, I, I REMEMBER LOOKING AT THE MASTER PLAN.
ONE THING WHEN I KNOW WHEN I GO TO SAMUEL GRAND IS ALWAYS ALL OUR REGIONAL PARK HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO WALK.
THAT ONE DOESN'T, IT ONLY HAS ROAD
SO I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT WHERE PEOPLE CAN GET OUT THERE AND EXERCISE AND WALK THROUGH THE PARK ON A REGULAR BASIS.
SPECIALTY PARKS, I DIDN'T TOUCH THIS CATEGORY.
I'M LIKE, NO, YOU ALL CAN GO VISIT LAKELAND HILLS PARK.
THEY REALLY NEED A REAL SKATE PARK AND NOT THAT ABOVE GROUND
YOU GO TAKE A LOOK AND YOU'LL SEE WHY I'M RECOMMENDING IT.
IT'S DEFINITELY OUTDATED AND IT'S HEAVILY UTILIZED, UH, SPRAY GROUND.
UH, ONCE AGAIN, I, I WOULD LOVE TO PUT IN NEW ONES, BUT WE GOTTA, WE GOTTA MAINTAIN THE ONES WE HAVE.
AND
BUT ONCE AGAIN, I JUST WANNA REMIND YOU ABOUT YOU STILL HAVE, YOU STILL HAVE DISCRETIONARY FUNDING.
UH, I ALREADY EXPLAINED TENANT CENTER IMPROVEMENTS, UH, WHICH IS ON SLIDE 52.
UH, YEAH, THOSE TENNIS CENTERS PRO SHOPS, THEY'RE IN BAD SHAPE.
SO, AND I DO THINK A KEYS, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT IS HOW WE CAN BRING IN A, A PARTNER THAT COULD HELP US EXPAND THAT 10, THAT TENNIS CENTER.
AND SO I THINK WE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES THERE, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY THE WORST CLUB I I HAVE FOR TENON.
[00:45:01]
AND I'M GONNA DEFER TO JERRY IF THERE'S ANYTHING, TALK ABOUT THEBUT AS FAR AS OUR MONEY SYSTEMS, YEAH, LOOKING AT THE TRAIL PLAN AND WHAT OUR REAL NEEDS ARE, WHITE ROCK CREEK HAS NOT HAD ANY REAL MAINTENANCE OR RECONSTRUCTION IN QUITE SOME TIME.
UH, THE SECTION I SELECTED WAS A PRIORITY FOR THE FRIENDS GROUP.
IT'S ALSO PROBABLY THE WORST SECTION AND IT GOES UNDERWATER THE MOST.
UM, IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE IF YOU THINK ABOUT THIS IS WHERE IT GOES UNDERNEATH ABRAMS AND THE ROAD KIND OF CANTILEVERS OVER IT.
UH, GOT A LOT OF BRIDGES IN THERE, BUT WANNA GO AHEAD AND GIVE WHITE ROCK SOME ATTENTION.
IF YOU LOOK AT OUR TRAIL PLAN, WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO BEING BUILT OUT.
SO WE NEED TO KIND OF GO BACK AND DO SOME REINVESTMENT.
UM, WITH COTTON BELT TRAIL GOING IN, WE JUST ACQUIRED THAT PROPERTY AND JUST 12 FOR THE TRAIL HITS.
SO WE WANT TO FOR THAT ONCE WE AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITE ONCE THE TENANT MOVES OUT OR THE RESIDENT MOVES OUT AND THEN RE WAS IN THERE THAT WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION ON THAT AND SINCE IT WAS A HUNDRED THOUSAND, THAT ONE THAT IN AS WELL.
AND THEN I NOTED, UM, SOME OTHER PROJECTS WHERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A BIG PRIORITY FOR ANOTHER CONNECTION FROM THE NORTH HAVEN TRAIL OVER BY NORTH HAVEN GARDENS.
UM, HOW CAN WE WORK WITH D W U AND DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE THEY NEED TO FIX AND IMPLEMENT AS PART OF THAT.
AND THEN FIVE MILE CREEK, JUST NOTING WE'RE, WE'RE HANDLING THAT THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIPS, UM, FUNDING THROUGH THAT.
SO IT'S, IT'S MOVING FORWARD WITH WONDER KNOWLEDGE THAT WE DO WANNA WORK WITH OUR PARTNER AS WELL.
ALRIGHT, UH, MR. PRESIDENT AND THE BOARD, THAT'S ALL WE HAVE AND, UH, I WELCOME ANY RECOMMENDATIONS YOU DO HAVE.
'CAUSE I KNOW AT THE LAST MEETING I DID MENTION Y'ALL BEEN WILLING TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT.
SO, UH, I THINK WE'LL START THE DISCUSSION AND I THINK WE'LL GO LIKE LAST TIME WITH EVERY MEMBER THAT WAY.
I THINK, BECAUSE I KNOW EVERYONE WILL HAVE IT.
I THINK THE OVERALL NUMBER WAS THREE 80, UH OH SORRY, FOUR.
WE WERE $80 MILLION OVER THREE 50.
WE, SO I DID SOME BIG NUMBERS, WHICH I JUST WANT TO THROW IT AT THE BOARD TO BRING IT TO THREE 70.
AND IF THAT NUMBER AND WITHIN THAT THREE 70 THEN YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE CUTTING THAT WE CAN DISCUSS? I WAS THINKING IN, YOU KNOW, EQUITY CENTER, IF WE CUT TWO OF THEM, THAT MAKES $11 MILLION IN DISCRETIONARY FUNDING.
IF WE GOT $20 MILLION IN RACK AND BALL, 13 MILLION AGENCY MATCHES 10 MILLION AND MONEYGRAM 1 MILLION AND 500,000 GOES INTO A PARTNERSHIP MATCH OR, UH, MATCHES THAT.
THIS CUTS, UH, THIS BY $55 MILLION, WHICH AFTER, YOU KNOW, BOARD LEAST WE SEND THAT NUMBER TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE.
WITH THAT I OPEN UP, UH, WE'LL START THE WAY WITH MR. CONNOR AND THEN WE'LL GO AROUND AND THEN I'LL COME TO THE VIRTUAL TEAM FOR MR. CONNOR.
UM, UM, MR. THANK YOU SO MUCH TEAM FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.
THIS WAS, I'M SURE NOT VERY EASY.
UM, ON THE WHITE ROCK DREDGING, WHY IS THAT 20 MILLION ON US? I, SO AT THE BOND TASK FORCE, WE'VE HEARD THAT THIS IS A $30 MILLION PROJECT.
AM I RIGHT ON THAT ISH? I THINK SO.
I 80, 80 MILLION I THOUGHT IT WAS, SO, OKAY.
SO THE $20 MILLION, HOW MUCH IS THAT? SO HOW MUCH OF THAT IS BEING SPLIT WITH HOW MUCH DW ASSUMING OF THAT? THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON WITH THEM.
'CAUSE THESE NUMBERS COULD CHANGE IF, YEAH, I, I DON'T KNOW.
'CAUSE I WASN'T IN PART OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS RECENTLY.
I DO KNOW THAT WE'RE STILL IN DISCUSSIONS HOW MUCH THEY'RE GONNA PICK UP VERSUS WHAT WE COVERED, BUT I, BUT I, I TRULY BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO NEED THE 20 TO GET THIS GOING.
UM, DOES THAT INCLUDE THE EROSION THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT EARLIER OR IS THAT JUST DREDGING? UH, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT EVERYTHING.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE IF THAT EROSION HAS TO BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE DREDGE AND OH YEAH, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IT.
AND IS THAT EROSION PART OF THE TRAIL THAT THE WHITE ROCK TRAIL? THIS IS NO, THAT PART I MENTIONED IS NORTH ON THE
BECAUSE I DUNNO HOW MANY PEOPLE LOOKED AT THOSE PICTURES, BUT I MEAN, IT, IT LOOKS, IT LOOKS PRETTY DANGEROUS.
UM, SO, UM, THE CAROL WAS HER NAME CAME AND TALKED, TALKED ABOUT, UM, THE LARGE PARTNERSHIP MATCHES.
ARE THERE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUNDING FOR THOSE, YOU KNOW, YOU TOOK IT DOWN $10 MILLION.
A LOT OF THOSE ARE REVENUE GENERATION ORGANIZATIONS, YOU KNOW, IS THAT, I KNOW WE TOOK IT UP, BUT IS THERE ANY WAY TO TAKE THAT DOWN EVEN MORE? UM, I'D BE IN FAVOR OF THAT SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT THE RATIOS, UM, YOU KNOW, WHO'S BRINGING WHAT TO THE TABLE.
[00:50:01]
UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW SOME CAN'T BRING, I KNOW MR. DICKEY HAS BROUGHT UP THE, UM, THE UH, UH, TRINITY AUDUBON CENTER QUITE A LOT.IT DOESN'T RAISE AS MUCH MONEY AS SAY, LIKE A ZOO.
UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, A ONE-TO-ONE RATIO VERSUS AN EIGHT TO ONE RATIO IN MY HEAD IT'S PRETTY, THERE'S, THERE'S, THERE'S GOOD AND AND BAD ON THAT.
UM, ON THE PLAYGROUNDS, MR.
UM, 300,000 TWICE ON COTTONWOOD.
UM, BUT ON THE REGIONAL PLAYGROUNDS I SAW TWO ON THERE FOR A MILLION.
UM, WERE THERE JUST TWO OF THE REGIONALS THAT
UM, SAME THING WITH GLENDALE RIGHT NOW GLENDALE IS IN PAGE ONE AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT IS, UH, ABOUT A MILLION DOLLAR PLAYER.
AND THEN, SO THE ONLY WE HAD WAS THE KEYS THAT WE NEED TO GET FUNDED.
AND, AND, AND WE ALREADY GOT THE SIGNATURE $1 MILLION ONE 800 PLUS AND FLAGPOLE HERE.
YEAH 'CAUSE WE WANNA MAKE SURE BACHMAN IS ONE OF THOSE.
AND THEN ON THE, ON THE REC CENTER REDO, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE OF US WHO TOOK THE TOUR, THE FIRST TOUR AND SAW WILLIE B. JOHNSON AND THE REDO OF WILL WILLIE B. JOHNSON WITH THE SENIOR CENTER AND THE, THE BASKETBALL COURT AND KIND OF EVERYTHING ELSE, HOW MUCH DID THAT COST TO PUT A PERSPECTIVE OF I'M SAY WILLIE B. JOHNSON? I THOUGHT THAT BUDGET WAS ABOUT $4 MILLION.
THEY DID A LOT WITH $4 MILLION BECAUSE THAT THING IS LIKE FIVE.
I DUNNO, IT WAS A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
JIM SENIOR CENTER
THAT'D BE REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT MONEY BROKE DOWN FOR EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD.
I KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT INFLATED NOW, BUT IT'D BE REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH OF THAT MONEY WAS SPENT ON THE GROUNDS VERSUS THE BASKETBALL COURT VERSUS THE SENIOR CENTER.
AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THE REC CENTERS, MR. THREE MINUTES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND AS WE ARE DISCUSSING FOR NEXT ROUND, IT'LL BE GREAT.
I THINK IF YOU START COMING WITH WHERE ARE WE CUTTING 52 $18 MILLION BECAUSE THEN WE'LL START DELIBERATING WHERE WE MINDFUL PARTNERSHIP MATCHES.
SO YEAH, SO I THINK IN NEXT ROUND WE'LL JUST START NOTING IT DOWN BETWEEN THE THIRD ROUND.
FORMERLY SA UH, SAMUEL FARM APPEARED ON THE SPECIALTY PARKS LIST AND I DON'T SEE IT ANYWHERE HERE.
SAMUEL FARM HAD SOME REASONABLE REQUESTS AND THEY WERE FORMALLY IN SPECIALTY PARKS, BUT NOW I DON'T SEE IT IN HERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT, TIM? I AND I'M SORRY WE CUT OFF.
THAT'S REMEMBER I COULD USE THE TRUST FUND FOR SAMUEL FARM.
UM, THEN, UH, THERE WERE SOME, UH, CHANGES, UM, IN MY LIST.
UM, THE BARMAN PARKING LOT THAT WE'VE GOT, THAT WAS AN ACCESSORY WE GOT FOR THE APPLIED CENTER.
I MET WITH SOME FOLKS IN TRANSPORTATION STREETS YESTERDAY IN THE COUNCIL OFFICE.
AND THERE'S ABSOLUTELY AN ISSUE THERE THAT IN ADDITION TO BUILDING OUT THAT LOT, UH, WE NEED TO CREATE A CONNECTION ACROSS THE TWO LANE BACHMAN DRIVE SO THAT THE FAMILIES CANNOT GET, YOU CAN GET SAFELY ACROSS, EVEN WITH THE CROSSWALK, IT'S GONNA COST SOME MONEY.
'CAUSE YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO BUILD A SIDEWALK ON BOTH SIDES AND FACILITATE THAT.
BUT FORTUNATELY, UH, THE ALLOCATION PER COUNCIL DISTRICT FOR THAT CATEGORY, THERE'S, WE'RE 600,000 SHORT IN DISTRICT SIX.
SO THERE LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A $600,000 THAT WE COULD ADD, BUT THAT WOULD, AS WE BUILD THAT PARKING LOT, WHICH WE HAVE AN ALLOCATION FOR, UH, WE WILL NEED SOME ADDITIONAL TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR THE CROSSING ACROSS BOMAN DRIVE.
UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S AN ADDITION FROM D SIX.
UM, AND THEN THE JC ZERO GOES A POOL, UM, THAT STAYS IN BECAUSE THAT WAS A COUNCIL PRIORITY, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS.
[00:55:01]
FOR THAT.UH, AND THEN ONE LAST THING, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, WE HAVE AN ALLOCATION OF 300,000 FOR OUR PLAYGROUND AT JC DEO, UH, AND NASH DAVIS, WELL ACTUALLY NASH DAVIS HAS 500,000, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A 60,000 FOR SHADE STRUCTURE TO PUT THAT IN AS THE ASK.
I MEAN, THEY CAN ALWAYS SAY NO AT COUNCIL, BUT I WANT TO ASK FOR SHADE ON THE PLAYGROUND THERE.
ON THE BACHMAN PAVILION PLAYGROUND.
THERE ARE TREES, WE DON'T NEED A SHADE STRUCTURE THERE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, BE REALISTIC THAT WE WANT TO SHADE STRUCTURE.
WANT TO ASK THAT INCLUDED IN THAT, UH, JUST GENERAL COMMENTS ON JOY GOGOS.
IT USED TO BE A D SIX, I THINK MAYBE SWITCH IN THIS.
UH, I'M NOT SURE THAT IT COULDN'T WAIT.
IT'S NOT MY DISTRICT ANYMORE, SO I CAN'T SAY.
BUT THAT'S ONE THAT I WOULD THINK IT'S BEEN A WILD, WILD AREA FOR A LONG TIME.
THAT AREA NEEDS PROTECTION FOR THE ESCARPMENT FROM WAREHOUSES.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE BASICALLY, THE LAND IS BEING PRESERVED AS IS.
SO IF THERE'S SOME NEED THAT'S, WELL, IT'S NOT MY DISTRICT.
SO THAT WOULD BE ONE THING TO LOOK AT.
UH, WE'RE THE, I WAS, WE WERE BOTH AT THE MEETING.
MR. DICKEY, THAT'S YOUR THREE DICKEY, UH, MR. BOARD.
UM, AND I'M LOOKING THROUGH THIS AND I SEE LIKE THE DISCRETIONARY AREA WHERE I ONLY HAVE LIKE $200,000 AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE 2 MILLION.
BUT THEN I LOOK IN THE PLAYGROUNDS AND I SEE I HAVE A MILLION DOLLAR PLAYGROUND AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE 300,000 PLAYGROUND.
SO I, I WANNA SEE A, A BREAKDOWN, UM, TOTAL FOR EACH DISTRICT AT SOME POINT.
LIKE HOW MUCH IS BEING SPREAD ACROSS THE DISTRICTS OVERALL IN THE PARK SYSTEM BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW THAT, HEY, WE ARE INVESTING IN ALL OF OUR DISTRICTS.
UM, I THINK, I THINK OUR CONVERSATION WITH THE SPORTS COMPLEXES, UM, WHY CAN'T WE OUTSOURCE MORE OF THESE SPORT COMPLEXES, UM, AND LET OUR PARTNERS, UM, RENOVATE THESE FIELDS INSTEAD OF US HAVING TO MAINTAIN THEM ALL THE TIME.
MONEYGRAM DOES AN INCREDIBLE JOB FOR US.
UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S CONCERNS MR. DICKIES, UM, AREA, HE'S GOT SOME CONCERNS SOMETIMES ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE USE OF IT.
UM, AND I THINK FOR COMPLEXES IT'S ONE THING.
AND NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, FIELDS ARE ANOTHER THING.
UM, SO MAYBE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD FIELD CLOSE BY A NEW COMPLEX IF WE HAVE A COMPLEX, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO EXPLORE THE OPPORTUNITY OF OUTSOURCING OUR COMPLEXES AND SPREAD THEM ACROSS THE CITY.
SO THERE'S NOT JUST ONE IN WEST DALLAS, BUT I THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY WITH SOME LAND DOWN IN SOUTHEAST DALLAS IN DISTRICT FIVE THAT WE COULD DO A MONEYGRAM OR SOMETHING COMPLEX IN THE SOUTHEAST DALLAS AREA, UM, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN.
UM, I THINK OUR PARTNERSHIP MATCHES ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DOLLARS THAT WE CAN SPEND.
UM, AND I SAY THAT I PERSONALLY KNOW, I I, I WOULDN'T BE DOING JUSTICE IF I CAN ADVOCATE FOR FAIR PARK.
UM, I DON'T FEEL FAIR PARK IS GONNA GET ANY, THEY GOT $50 MILLION LAST TIME.
THEY'RE DOING REALLY, REALLY GREAT AT THEIR FUNDRAISING.
UM, AND I DON'T SEE THEM GETTING ANY MONEY ON THIS BOND.
UM, EVEN IF WE APPROVE IT AT THIS LEVEL, I DON'T THINK IT'LL MAKE THROUGH THE COUNCIL LEVEL.
SO WE MAY AS WELL TAKE THAT OFF THE TABLE HERE NOW.
UM, SO MOVE THAT $5 MILLION FROM.
BUT, UM, I, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S $5 MILLION THAT, UM, CAN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, UM, IN OUR PLANNING.
BUT I, I THINK THAT OUR PARTNERSHIP MATCHES ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
I THINK THAT WE NEED TO, UH, LOOK AT, I, I DON'T WANNA SAY LIKE SOUTHERN GATEWAY, I DON'T WANT TO SINGLE IT OUT, BUT IF THERE'S FEDERAL MONEY THAT HAS TO MATCH, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THOSE IF WE'RE GONNA, IF THERE'S MATCH MONEY ON THE TABLE FROM AGENCIES, WE NEED NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LOOK AT THOSE, UH, SO THAT WE'RE NOT LOSING THAT MONEY COMING IN.
UM, I JUST HAVE A QUESTION TO START THE, WHERE DOES NORTHLAKE, NICK LAKE HIGHLAND REC CENTER STAND IN THIS CURRENT PROPOSAL? BECAUSE I DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
SO LIKE S I MEAN, I SEE A LISTED IN A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES, BUT OH, IT IS, OKAY.
SO YEAH, I PROBABLY HAVE A CHANCE TO CLEAN IT UP.
IT, IT WAS BELOW THE LINE, BUT I THINK WE DID PUT SOME, THEN WE PUT SOME IN
[01:00:01]
FRONT LINE FOR SOME INTERIOR.WELL, YOU CAN JUST FOLLOW UP EXACTLY WHAT'S OKAY.
STILL IN THERE BECAUSE I'M, I MEAN, I'M MAINLY RELYING ON STAFF RECOMMENDATION, WHAT'S TRULY NEEDED.
UM, THANK YOU FOR THE WHITE ROCK CREEK TRAIL ALLOCATION.
I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF, UH, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ON THAT, SO I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT, UM, ON THE LARGE PARTNERSHIP MATCHES.
I, I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST CUTTING ALL OF 'EM.
I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO ASSESS EACH OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY AND WHAT THE BRAND'S DISABLED AND PARTICULARLY THE ZOO.
CLEARLY RANKING NUMBER ONE, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULD, IF IT RANKS NUMBER ONE BY THE, BY THE BOARD, WHY WOULD WE CUT THEM BY 10 MILLION? SO, UH, MY LINE ON THE SAND ON THE PARTNERSHIP MATCHES THAT WE START WITH 30 MILLION FOR THE ZOO.
THEY DIDN'T MAKE A BIG ASK IN THE LAST 20 YEARS.
UM, AND SO I'D START THERE ON FAIR PARK SINCE THE DISTRICT SEVEN REPRESENTATIVE.
I I DO WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT THE NEEDS OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM THOUGH, BUT I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT NOT, UM, FUNDING THAT, THAT MUSEUM.
I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT THE NEEDS ARE THERE.
SO I HATE TO SEE THEM, UM, IF THAT'S A STRONG NEED.
NOT GET ANY FUNDING IN THIS, IN THIS PACKAGE.
BUT I, I THINK JEFF, UH, MR. KEN'S BEEN ASKING FOR A WHILE FOR A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT'S BEEN GIVEN TO THESE, UM, ENTITIES AND PRIOR BONDS.
AND THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE TO FACTOR IN.
AND THEN I THINK I MENTIONED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO, BUT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE ABOUT EACH INDIVIDUAL PROPOSAL SO WE CAN DECIDE WHICH ONES SHOULD BE CUT AND CAN STILL HAPPEN.
