TAKE A PICTURE.[Dallas Park and Recreation Board on August 15, 2024.]
IT IS 10:00 AM WE CONVENE OUR DALLAS PARK CREATION SMALL MEETING TO HONOR.FIRST NOTE IS, I THINK, LET ME START WITH THE CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR MR. GOLDSTEIN IS NEWSLETTER, WHICH STARTED AS A HOBBY
AND IF YOU ARE NOT NICE TO PARKS DEPARTMENT, WE TAKE THE APPLAUSE BACK.
IF YOU HAVE TWO PUBLIC SPEAKERS, I'LL READ THE SPEAKER GUIDELINES.
EACH SPEAKER WILL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
PLEASE DIRECT YOUR COMMENTS TO THE CHAIR.
ONLY ANY SPEAKER WHO MAKES PERSONAL
YOUR FIRST SPEAKER IS MR. LUKE TIFFORD WAS A HANDOUT THAT YOU HAD THERE ON THERE.
DOG WORKS IN DALLAS BY LUKE T.
HI, MY NAME IS LUKE TIFFORD AND LET ME SHOW YOU MY IDEA THAT I HAVE MORE DOG PARKS THAN DOGS.
THIS IDEA STARTED OUT AS A SCHOOL PROJECT WITH MY UNCLE JASON SALT.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE TIME HERE TODAY FOR ME TO SHOW YOU MY IDEA.
IS A CENTER 0.4 ACRE PARK MAKING IN A GREAT AREA FOR A DOG PARK.
CONSIDERING THAT DOGS NEED A LOT OF SPACE BENEFITS OF A DOG PARK, NOT ONLY DO OUR HUMANS NEED TO RUN AROUND, BUT OUR DOGS WE TOO, WHICH IS WHY I PROPOSED TO THIS IDEA.
DOG PARKS ARE A GREAT PLACE FOR HUMANS TO SOCIALIZE IN, DOGS TO PLAY, MAKING IT WIN-WIN.
ACCORDING TO PARK COORDIN MEMBER, A DOG PARK LOST $300,000 TO $500,000 SIZE.
WHEN I WENT TO GRACE PARK, I REALIZED THAT THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL SPACE.
AFTER WALKING THAT AREA OF MY PARK BOARD MEMBER, WE IDENTIFIED A GOOD SPOT IN THE FENCE WHERE THE DOG PARK SHOULD BE.
DO PEOPLE WANT A DOG PARK? WHY WAS I GRAY? I ALSO DECIDED TO ASK PEOPLE IF THEY WOULD LIKE A DOG PARK.
OUT OF THE FIVE PEOPLE I ASKED, FOUR OF THEM SAID THEY WOULD LIKE A DOG PARK AND ONE SAID SHE DID NOT.
THE OPPONENT SAID THAT SHE HAD HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A DOG PARK IN THE PAST THAT ALLOWED ALCOHOL.
SHE WOULD BE IN FAVOR AS LONG AS THE OWNERS WEREN'T ALLOWED TO BRING ALCOHOL REVIEWED.
THE DALLAS PARK RULES AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE PROHIBITED IN THE PARK, PUBLIC STREET SIDEWALK, AND PARKING ADJACENT TO THE PARK.
SO TO ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, YES, MOST OF THE PEOPLE WANT A DOG PARK CLOSURE.
CONSIDERING THE RISING POPULATION OF DLPS IN DALLAS, I BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR OUR CITY.
I KNOW THAT IT CAN BE A CHALLENGE TO FIND THE RIGHT WORK FOR YOUR DOG, BOTH MORE PARTS.
I HOPE YOU CAN GET MY DATA CONSIDERATION.
UM, I WANNA THANK LUKE AND HIS FAMILY.
AND IT MAY BRING ME TO, TO, UM, LISTEN, I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PART OF A SCHOOL PROJECT.
IS THAT CORRECT? YOU GOT AN A PLUS FROM EVERYONE ELSE.
OKAY, QUICK STORY ABOUT ADVOCACY.
A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, UH, A YOUNG GIRL CAME IN HERE.
HER NAME IS VITA, AND SHE ADVOCATED FOR A PLAYGROUND AT A PARK 'CAUSE THERE WASN'T ONE.
AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S IN THE BOND NOW, A PLAYGROUND FOR HER PARK.
UM, AND THE LAST THING I WANNA SAY IS, UM, THIS HAS GOTTEN SOME PRIORITY WITH OUR PARTNERS ON S THEY'RE TALKING TO US A LITTLE BIT MORE SERIOUSLY THAN EVER ABOUT A DOG PARK AT GRIGGS.
SO, UM, I'M GONNA KEEP YOU POSTED AND WE'RE GONNA WORK TOGETHER AND, AND SEE HOW FAR WE CAN TAKE THIS.
THANK YOU FOR COMING IN TODAY.
UM, MY NAME IS DR. CAMERON GRAY.
I'M COMING ABOUT, WE'VE HAD A FEW ISSUES OVER THERE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, UH, WITH INDIVIDUALS COMING UP.
UM, MY CONCERN TODAY IS THE LEVEL OF SECURITY WE HAVE WITHIN THE FACILITY.
UM, ONE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT WAS MENTALLY DISASSOCIATED GOT INTO ONE OF THE EMPLOYEE'S FACES AND THE SECURITY GUARD DIDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING.
THIS YOUNG LADY, I HELD HER AS SHE CONVULSIVELY, CRIED IN FEAR AND I'M CONCERNED THAT SHE DIDN'T COME BACK.
UM, I ASKED HER SECURITY GUARD WAS VERSED IN HAND TO HAND COMBAT.
HE GAVE NO INDICATION OF THAT.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS, THERE IS A
[00:05:01]
PLACE WHERE WE NEED PROTECTION THAT IS BEFORE THE UN PULLING OF A WEAPON.AND AT THIS TIME, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE SECURITY GUARDS CAN'T STILL THAT FACE.
THIS MAN WAS SIX THREE YELLING AT HER IN HER FACE AND YOUR SECURITY GUARD DID NOTHING.
ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE SEEN THIS INDIVIDUAL SLEEP, WALKED PAST HIM, SLEEP, GOT PICTURES OF HIM SLEEP.
ANYBODY COULD HAVE WALKED IN AND DID A WHOLE LOT OF DAMAGE, BUT BY THE TIME WE WOKE UP, THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE.
UM, SO I'M ASKING THAT WE GET A SECURITY GUARD THAT NOT IS INVERSE IN DEESCALATION AND HAND COMBAT AND AS THE WEAPON AS WELL, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WHAT WE HAVE IS INSUFFICIENT.
SECONDLY, IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS GOING ON, WE THREW IN A NEW MANAGER.
UM, I, I THINK IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL WHEN WE PLACE NEW MANAGERS THAT THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO TRULY ASSESS WHAT'S THERE INSTEAD OF JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT FIT INTO WHAT THEY'RE USED TO.
UH, UNDERSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
BECAUSE DIXON IS THE BOMB BECAUSE OF THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY THAT THAT CENTER HAS.
AND, UM, THAT SHOULD BE APPRECIATED AND HELD UP ON ALL ENDS, NOT JUST WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT.
UM, SO THESE ARE THE THINGS I'M CONCERNED ABOUT.
OVER TO ANY QUESTIONS WILL MEET WITH ANYONE BECAUSE I LOVE Y'ALL AND LAWYERS, THEY ARE OF OUR COMMUNITY.
WE NEED THEM AND WE DON'T WANT NO MORE CHANGE.
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M GONNA SAY MY LAST PIECE.
I NEED Y'ALL TO GIVE PEOPLE THAT LARRY JOHNSON TO RAISE THAT HAVE BEEN THERE A YEAR OVER.
THOSE ARE SPEECH AGAIN FOR SPEAKERS COMING WITH THAT NEXT POINT OF BUSINESS APPROVAL OF MINUTES.
OKAY, WE FOR SAFETY UPDATE, SORRY, THERE WAS TWO OTHER MINUTES OF AUGUST.
FIRST AND OCCUP SPECIAL APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR AUGUST 1ST AND FOR AUGUST 1ST AUGUST DATE.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? MR. PITNER? SECONDED BY MS. NY OR FAVOR? AYE.
GOOD MORNING PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
UM, TODAY WE HAVE OUR CORE SAFETY, UM, BRIEFLY AND WE'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT TODAY, THE WAY WE PRESENT, UM, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE CHIEF WATSON'S BEEN HERE.
UM, AND JUST GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION, UH, IN THAT REGARD.
WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU, I'M SURE THAT A LOT OF YOU ALREADY HAVE PRESENTATION, UH, AS FAR AS ALL YOUR DATA AND THERE'S INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT SPECIFICALLY DE DEFINITELY, YOU CAN CALL AND EMAIL US DIRECTLY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AFTER
OF COURSE, THOSE WILL BE IN LINE AT THAT TIME.
BUT WE JUST WANNA GO TO PAGE 32, RIGHT? UH, AS YOU KNOW, UH, THERE WAS A BUDGET ENHANCEMENT.
I JUST WANT HIGHLIGHT THIS, TAKE A LOOK AT IT LATER.
BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT WE'RE PURSUING ALL OF THE ENHANCEMENTS THAT WERE, UH, AVAILABLE TO US, UH, BASED ON OUR BUDGET ALLOCATION.
AND SO IT KIND OF TELLS YOU SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE ALREADY GOT COMPLETE AS FAR AS LIGHTING PROJECTS.
UH, IT ALSO TELLS YOU WHAT'S IN PROCESS.
AND WHEN WE SAY DO THAT MEANS THE IT HAS BEEN ENCUMBERED.
OKAY? AND NOW, UH, THOSE, THOSE THAT, THAT MONEY HAS BEEN SET ASIDE IN ORDER TO GO FORWARD WITH THAT PURCHASE.
UM, I, I JUST WANT JEREMY TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE CAMERAS THAT WERE, UM, ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE PURCHASING.
UH, YEAH, THE CAMERAS, THE, UH, AS YOU SEE 'EM THERE, 40, UH, 20 OF 'EM CAME FROM THE ARPA HUNTING.
AND THEN THE OTHER 20 CAME FROM THE, UH, THE ENHANCEMENT BID THAT WE'VE RECEIVED.
I KNOW THAT IT MENTIONS ME, BLUE LIGHT TOWERS.
WE DO WANT TO GET TO 'EM, BUT AT THE TIME, WHENEVER WE WERE PRICING OUT CAMERAS, THE EMERGENCY BLUE LIGHT TOWER CAME TO BE LIKE 25,000 A PIECE.
SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH TWO AND A HALF CAMERA COSTS VERSUS ONE BLUE LIGHT TOWER.
[00:10:01]
THE CAMERAS ARE GOING UP, UH, TALKING WITH FACILITY SERVICES, WHICH THEY'RE THE ONES ALSO DOING THE LIGHTING PROJECT.THEY'RE ALSO THE ONES THAT ARE PUTTING, PROVIDING POWER TO THESE CAMERAS AS THEY COME UP.
ALL THE CAMERAS ARE, UH, EITHER ON EITHER UP OR THEY'RE SCHEDULED TO BE, TO GO UP BY THE VENDOR.
AND THEN FACILITIES WILL FOLLOW BEHIND AND POWER.
AND THEN WE GET BACK THE VENDOR TO ABLE TO THE SERVER.
WE ARE A BIT BEHIND ON IT, BUT, UH, TALKING WITH FACILITIES THERE, MAKING SURE THAT THEY WE'RE GONNA TRY TO HAVE ALL THESE CAMERAS POWERED UP, UH, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
AND DEFINITELY BEFORE, UH, END, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE WITH THE CAMERAS.
AND THAT, THAT WILL PUT US AT 50 CAMERAS IN THE PARK SYSTEM 40, WHICH THESE FOUR WILL BE TIED TO THE NETWORK, WHICH SHOULDN'T BE TIED TO FUSION.
THE OTHER 10 ARE OUR OLDER CAMERAS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY
UH, THIS, YOU KNOW, ABOUT OUR STAFFING.
WE'LL FULLY STAFFED, WE'LL DRIVE THE RANGERS AND I'M GOING TO, WE'RE GONNA TURN IT OVER
HE'S GONNA, UH, ADVISE YOU ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE MARSHALS.
AND THEN AFTER THAT, CHIEF WATSON WILL COME.
UH, JUST TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON EVERYONE'S, UH, CURIOSITY AS FAR AS THE STAFFING LEVELS, AND OF COURSE, OUR FIRST WATCH FOR DATE NIGHTS GO.
UH, CURRENTLY WE'RE AT 14 DEPUTIES.
UH, THANKS TO OUR, UH, OUR COMMAND STAFF CHIEF BY, UH, MARSHALL PEWS.
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO, UH, GET A LOT MORE DEPUTIES IN YOUR DEPARTMENT.
AND SO WE ARE FAST INCOMING, UH, SOME AUDIT TRAINING ABOUT
SOME ARE BE GOING THROUGH, UM, EXPEDIT EXPEDITED TRAINING BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY HAD INCREASED EXPERIENCE WITH THE MARSHALL OFFICE.
UH, SO JUST A REALLY QUICK UPDATE ON THIS ONE AS WELL.
UH, DUE TO THE STAFF HAD AND THE, UH, VERSATILITY OF ALL THE DEPUTIES THAT WE HAVE AND THE EAGERNESS OF THEM TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND AND KNOW WHAT THIS IS EXPECTING OF THEM FROM PARKS.
UH, THIS PAST SUMMER AND SINCE LAST TIME WE SPOKE IN MET, UH, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR INCIDENTS IN PARKS, UH, INVOLVING THE RANGERS IN THE MORNING.
UH, THE BIGGEST ISSUES WE'VE HAD DURING THE SUMMERTIME 'CAUSE OF SUMMER WEATHER, DRINK AS MUCH AS ILLEGAL PARK ACTIVITIES.
UH, DUE TO OUR DEPUTIES MONITORING SOME OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA I WE HAVE ACCESS TO, WE WERE ABLE TO, UH, SUBDUE OVER 10, UH, ILLEGAL PARKING EVENTS THAT MAJORITY ALL GANG RELATED.
SO DUE TO THOSE EFFORTS AND THEN THE, UH, EFFORTS OF THE DEPUTIES WHO HAVE IN ATIVE SKILLS WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY CONTACT, UH, THE ORGANIZER, HIM OR HERSELF OR THEMSELVES, UH, EITHER BY PHONE OR KNOCKING IN THE FRONT DOOR UNTIL THE SEVERITY, UH, OF THE VIOLATION THEY WILL CONDENSE AND THE, UH, STUFF THAT WILL HAPPEN AFTERWARDS.
SO DUE TO THE HARD EFFORTS OF EVERYONE, ONE OF THE DEPUTIES IN THE PARKING, ALONG WITH THE RANGERS AND ASSISTANCE AND WITH, UH, SOME HELP FROM DPD AS WELL WITH INTELLIGENCE, WE'RE ABLE TO DEBUNK EVERY SINGLE ONE WE HAD.
UM, THE HOLIDAYS SINCE THE 4TH OF JULY.
WE DIDN'T HAVE VERY MANY ISSUES ON THE 4TH OF JULY.
UH, THE YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN OVER THE PARK UNIT THREE YEARS PLUS NOW.
UM, THEY, WE'VE HAD A DECLINE AND THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE PAST POLICY, WHICH GOOD THING, UH, SAID US THE BEGINNING.
THIS IS WHAT IS GONNA BE OUR TREND.
AND WE ARE FOLLOWING THAT TREND, CONTINUING THAT TREND AS WELL.
UM, THAT COMES UP TO THE, UH, DEEP MIKES, UH, PORTION OF IT AS WELL.
UH, CHIEF AND I REALIZED WE'RE GONNA BE BEGINNING TO BE
AND WE HAVE DEPUTIES WITH THIS NEW SERGEANT.
WE, AGAIN, WORK TOGETHER IN ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES.
WE, WE LOOK UP THE RENTS TOGETHER AS WELL.
UH, WE WORK HAND IN HAND SIDE BY SIDE.
SO HE'S VERY, VERY, UH, ADAPTABLE INDIVIDUAL IN WHAT WE'RE DOING.
UH, HE'S COME OUT THE PARTS AS PATROL PARTS WITH ME AND SOME OF THE DEPUTIES AS WELL TO SEE WHAT INTERACTIONS WE'RE INVOLVED WITH AND WHAT HIS EXPECTATIONS WERE.
AND SO WE'RE GEARED UP AND READY FOR THAT ONE AS WELL.
UM, JUST TO TOUCH REALLY QUICK, MORE BY THE BUDGET ENHANCEMENT THAT WE GOT, UH, FOR THE DRONE, UTV BIKE, ET CETERA.
ANOTHER ONE I'D LIKE TO ADD AS WELL, WITH THE, UH, ASSISTANCE FROM CHIEF KNIGHT AND US GETTING THE CLEARANCE TO AS WELL, UH, AS COVERT OPERATIONS.
I KNOW THERE SOME ISSUES IN THE PAST BEING BROUGHT UP IN THE PAST TO WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE EXPANDING THE PARKING UNIT AS WELL, AND MORE OF OPERATIONS THAT WE'RE DOING ON A DAILY BASIS.
UH, SO WE'RE GONNA BE SENDING SOME DEPUTIES HERE RECENTLY, UH, TO A CULVERT SCHOOL WITH DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND THEY TOO ARE GONNA BE OPERATING
SO A LOT OF THINGS COMING UP ON OUR RADAR, INCLUDING, UH, KENNY JACKSON FOR EXAMPLE.
THAT'S ONE OF THE NEWEST ONES OF THIS UGLY HEAD.
AND I'M PROUD TO SAY HONESTLY, THAT WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT IT.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST, THAT'S JUST A, A SMALL PIECE OF IT.
UH, THE DRONE, UH, WE HAVE DEPUTIES WHO ARE NOW, UH, CERTIFIED PILOTS TO OPERATE THE DRONE.
AND WE'RE WAITING FOR DPD TO HOLSTER OR SHOULD BE IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
[00:15:01]
TO GO THROUGH, UH, THEUH, THAT'LL TAKE A FEW DAYS TO GET DONE AFTER THAT AS WELL.
UH, THE UTV HAS BEEN WRAPPED UP COMPLETELY.
UH, WE'RE WAITING TO GET LIGHTS AND MC SIREN PUT ON IT AS WELL.
SO IT'S GONNA BE JUST WITHIN WEEKS WE, WE DEPLOYING, UH, THE UTV, UH, GIVEN THAT THE UTV IS GONNA BE USED, WINTER, SUMMER, RAIN, SLEET, SNOW, IF IT'S BAD, WHETHER WE'RE NOT GONNA DEPLOY FOR SAFETY REASONS.
BUT, UH, THE
UH, THIS ONE HERE DOES HAVE A HVAC SYSTEM MINUTES, SO IT'S GONNA KEEP US COOL.
UH, WHEN WE USED TO UTILIZE THE 18 BS, UH, A YEAR OR SO AGO, AND THE HEAT RIGHT NOW, WE HAD DEPUTIES AT ING EXHAUSTION.
SO THE HT B NOW HAS HS, SO IT HAS ED AND AIR WINDOWS AND ET CETERA.
AND I'M SORRY, AND A, UH, BED BACK IN CASE SOMEBODY WOULD COME ACROSS ANYONE, HUNDRED TRAILS, UH, ANYWHERE THROUGHOUT THE PARK FOR THAT MATTER, HAS INJURIES.
WE'RE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO DEPLOY THEM OUT OF SOME
UH, ONE OF THE DEPUTIES THAT COMING BACK AS WELL WILL BE COMING BACK IN ABOUT A WEEK.
UH, HE WAS ALREADY BACK CERTIFIED WITH SOME OF OUR OTHER ONES.
WE'RE GONNA BE DEPLOYING THE BIKES AS WELL.
I KNOW CIVIC GUARD, DPI AREA HAS BEEN COME UP FAR.
AND SO WE'RE GONNA BE DEPLOYING THE BIKE, NOT ONLY ON THE TRAILS I'LL, BUT ALSO IN THE DOWNTOWN HERE.
UM, AS FAR AS THE INCENTIVE GOES, I THINK IT'S FOUR.
SO
WE'RE GONNA HAVE AT LEAST TWO DEPUTIES, MAYBE THREE.
UH, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, UH, CHIEF MIKE HAS ADVISED
UH, SO THAT GOAL, UH, THAT NUMBER IS GONNA BE LISTED NUMBER GONNA BE REACHING HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
UH, BUT THE DATE MIGHT SHIFT IS GONNA BE WORKING AT LEAST TWO, TWO DEPUTIES.
ONE SERGEANT, THE DAYS OFF ARE NOT SET IN STONE YET, BUT THEY'LL BE OPERATING FROM 11:00 PM TO 7:00 AM SO ALL THE PARK ISSUES ARE COMBATING THOSE NIGHTS, OVERNIGHT PARTIES, ET CETERA, THAT WE CAN'T GET AHOLD OF BECAUSE WE'RE UP AT 11.
UH, THAT'S GONNA BE TAKEN CARE OF AS WELL.
THAT'S WHY SERGEANT PEREZ HAS WRITTEN OUT WITH US TO SEE THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE HAVING.
HE WROTE IT OUT IN THE EVENING, SO HE SEES WHAT THE EVENING IS TAPERING TO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
SO HE HAS A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT AND WHAT
AND I THINK COMING THE, UH, DEEP, MY SHIFT IS GONNA BUILD ANOTHER HEAD OF AN ISSUE THAT, YOU KNOW, HAS FALLEN BLIND TO US BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW.
SEE, YOU KNOW, JUST MONEY HEARD GO ON.
I THINK THIS IS ALSO GONNA BE, IT'S GONNA REALLY WITH THE STAFFING AS IT COMES THROUGH.
MR. PRESIDENT MEMBERS, GOOD MORNING.
UH, I'M GONNA BRIEF YOU THIS MORNING ON VARIOUS INCIDENTS AND OCCURRED PREVIOUS PARTS.
SO THE FIRST ONE, IT OCCURRED ON MARCH THE 10TH AT ABOUT 9:00 AM AND THIS OCCURRED AS
WE HAD AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS FISHING AT THE LAKE AND HE OBSERVED AND DISCOVERED DEAD BODY IN BLANK.
THE BODY WAS TREE DIDN'T, AT THAT TIME, IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE
THAT ONE IS CLASSIFIED AS UNEXPLAINED DEATH.
ON THE SECOND ONE, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER UNEXPLAINED DEATH AT CRAWFORD PARK, 87 40 ROAD, A 9 1 1 CAR CALLED AND SAID THAT HE HAD OBSERVED A DEAD BODY CREEK AND OUT BETWEEN THE, AND NO SIGNS OF TRAUMA, BUT IT'S UNEXPLAINED UNTIL WE TALK TO COLLEGE FACTS.
THE THIRD ONE, FOR SOME REASON, IT GOT SHOWN THAT THIS SUICIDE OCCURRED AT SAMUEL GRAND PARK, BUT NO SUICIDE OCCURRED AT THE PARK.
THE SUICIDE OCCURRED AT A PRIVATE RESIDENCE IN AN APARTMENT LOCATED AT 93 43 CALL.
I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, THAT NOTHING HAPPENED EXCEPT GRAND PARK.
THE NEXT ONE, THIS IS MORE ENFORCEMENT AT TIMBER GLEN PARK.
MR. CONNER, I KNOW WE SHARED THIS INFORMATION, BUT SATURDAY, MAY THE FOURTH,
[00:20:01]
THE OFFICERS WROTE 14 CITATIONS, THREE FOR OPEN CONTAINER, FOUR POSSESSION OF ALCOHOL IN THE CITY PARK, FIVE PUBLIC INTOX, AND TWO PARKING CITATIONS.LIKE SERGEANT CIRO SAID THAT KATIE TRAIL JACKSON BROUGHT HEAD.
APPRECIATE THE PICTURES AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU PROVIDED.
ONE OF THE THINGS THE PARK DEPARTMENT HAS DONE IS IT'S OPENED UP OVER TIME CITY OVERTIME FOR DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS TO WORK THESE TWO LOCATIONS.
THE NORTH PARK, PARK AND JACKSON, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY FROM 10:00 PM TO FOUR A, YOU GOT OFFICER THAT HAVE BEEN SIGNING UP FOR THE ASSIGNMENT TO THE NEW MAJOR THIS MORNING.
AND THIS HAPPENED MAY THE FIFTH, AROUND NINE 18.
WHAT THIS APPEARS TO BE IS A POPUP EVENT AT KEYS THAT NO ONE HAD ANY IDEA IT WAS TAKING PLACE.
AND THEY CALL IT SUNDAY AT EASTPORT.
SO, UH, THIS WAS GOING ON THE COMPLAINANT, SHE SHARED WITH US THAT SHE HEARD GUNSHOTS AND THAT INDIVIDUALS WERE FIRING INTO THE AIR.
AND AT THAT TIME, THE CROWD AS FAR AS SHE WAS RUNNING.
AND SHE SAID THAT ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL NOT RELATED TO THE GROUP THAT WERE DISCHARGING IN THE AIR, FIRED INTO.
AND THAT'S WHEN SHE REALIZED SHE HAD BEEN SHOT AND LATE.
NOT UNLIKE THE THREAT WITH RESPECT TO SUSPECT INFORMATION AND THINK OF THAT NATURE MUCH.
THE NEXT ONE IS AT 97 79 FOREST LINK.
THIS IS THE FOREST ALIA COMMUNITY CENTER.
WHAT WE HAVE IS A FEMALE WENT TO THAT LOCATION AND SHE WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF HER VEHICLE.
SHE HEARD A GUNSHOT AND SHE FELL ON HER RIGHT LEG.
GET YOU, SHE SAID YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY
SO WE'RE NOT SURE IF THIS WAS JUST RANDOM INDIVIDUAL SHOOTING.
SHE HAPPENED TO GET HIT OR IF SHE WAS THE INTENT TO TALK.
THE NEXT ONE IS A HOMICIDE PIONEER PARK, SHOOTING 10 33 YOUNG STREET.
THE COMPLAINANT AND THE SUSPECT MADE AN ARRANGEMENT TO MEET AT THIS LOCATION AND THE SUSPECT WAS GONNA BUY MARIJUANA.
AND, AND WHEN IT SHOWED UP, THE INDIVIDUALS THAT GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THEY BASICALLY SHOT THAT.
AND HOW WE PUT THAT TOGETHER WAS WE HAD A WITNESS THAT WAS NOT COOPERATIVE HARDLY AT ALL, BUT SHE MANAGED TO GIVE THE DETECTIVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO DETERMINE THEY KNEW ONE ANOTHER.
AND THIS OCCURRED JUNE THE 11TH, ABOUT 10 40.
AT FIRST, INITIALLY WE THOUGHT THAT THIS ACTUAL HOMICIDE HAPPENED AT KID SPRINGS, BUT IT DID NOT.
THE COMPLAINANT AND HER FRIEND WERE AT THE BASKETBALL COURSE PLAYING BASKETBALL WHEN THE SUSPECT
[00:25:01]
APPROACHED IN HIS CAR.NOW, KEEP IN MIND, THE SUSPECT AND THE COMPLAINANT WERE FRIENDS BEFORE AND THEY HAD A FALLING OUT.
SO WHEN THE COMPLAINANT SAW THE SUSPECT PULL UP IN HIS VEHICLE, THE COMPLAINANT AND A FRIEND OF HIS GOT IN THEIR VEHICLE AND LEFT THE SUSPECT, FOLLOWED 'EM, AND BASICALLY CHASED THEM TO THE 400 BLOCK OF SOUTH WINNETKA.
THAT'S WHERE THE SUSPECT GOT OUT.
SHOT MULTIPLE TIMES AT THE COMPLAINANT, DECEASED THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL IN THE CAR.
WE DID IDENTIFY THE INDIVIDUAL AND HE HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR THIS ONE WHITE ROCK LAKE.
AND I, I CAN ONLY GIVE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ON THIS, BUT THE SUSPECT, THIS SEXUAL ASSAULT
AND THIS HAPPENED JULY THE 12TH.
AND THIS IS OTHER UN AND THEY HAD CONTRACTORS THERE CLEANING THE UNDERBRUSH.
THEY FOUND AN INDIVIDUAL
THIS HAPPENED AT THE WEST END SQUARE PLAZA.
WE INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A DOPE WHEEL CAR, BUT THE COMPLAINANT WHO GOT SHOT WOULD NOT COOPERATE WITH THE OFFICER WOULD BE DETECTIVE.
BUT THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE DETECTIVES DIGGING, THEY FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A FAMILY VIOLENCE AND ASSAULT.
THIS WAS NOT STRANGER ON STRANGER, IT WAS A FAMILY VIOLENCE.
AND THEN LAST ONE, PACIFIC PLAZA.
JAMES ASKED IF IN PARK, THIS OCCURRED JULY THE 28TH.
WHAT WE HAVE IS A JUVENILE, WE FOUND OUT LATER THAT TOLD HIS MOM HE WAS GOING TO BACK TO SCHOOL FUNCTION AT A REC CENTER, BUT THE REC CENTER, HE WAS GOING TO NIGHTCLUB CALLED
SO HE'S STANDING IN THE PARK, WHICH IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS NIGHTCLUB, AND THERE'S A BUNCH OF JUVENILES WHO ARE FIGHTING.
OUR COMPLAINANT RUNS TO THE NIGHTCLUB BECAUSE THEIR SECURITY GUARD IS THERE.
AND WHILE HE WAS RUNNING, HE GOT SHOT NON-LIFE THREATENING.
WE MANAGED TO CATCH A VIDEO FROM OUR FUSION CENTER THERE ON A PARK.
WE'VE GOT JUVENILES THERE, BUT NO GUNFIRE, NO MUZZLE SHOTS, JUST JUVENILES THERE.
AND WE HAD A SECOND VIDEO FROM A RESIDENT WHO LIVED IN AN APARTMENT THERE CLOSE BY, BUT HE HAD A CAMERA.
AND BASICALLY IT WAS THE SAME THING.
GROUP OF JUVENILES, BUT
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, MY UPDATE.
WHO MONITORS THE CAMERAS? DO YOU GUYS HAVE UP THE ONES THAT WE HAVE CURRENT, THE ONES THAT WE'RE ON THAT LIST ALONG THE, SO RIGHT NOW IT WOULD BE, SO THE ONES THAT ARE, WE'RE GETTING UP, NONE OF THEM.
WE HAVE A COUPLE THAT ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW.
IT WOULD BE MYSELF, OUR RANGER.
UM, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT THE DISTRICT HAS ACCESS AND THEN INFUSION.
SO TO BE HONEST, ARE THEY MONITOR ON A REGULAR BASIS, AT LEAST BY US.
SO WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR US? SO HOW MANY CAMERAS ARE THERE? WE HAVE 40 THAT ARE GOING IN, AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER 10 THAT ARE ALREADY SO 50 TOTAL.
SO IS THE PLAN FOR THESE CAMERAS TO, TO CATCH AFTER THE FACT OR TO TO TRY TO, SO THE WAY TALKING WITH THE LIEUTENANT
[00:30:01]
IN FUSION, THE WAY THAT THESE CAMERAS ARE SET UP IS THEY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY CAMERAS THAT THEY'RE MONITORING AS WELL.IF SOMETHING POPS UP THAT'S SHOWS LIKE, YOU KNOW, SAY GUN FOR EXAMPLE OR WHATEVER, THEN THAT CAMERA AUTOMATICALLY LINKS IT TO FUSION SYSTEM.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT'S JUST, IT'S VARI MONITORING.
UM, WHAT'S THE PLAN IN THE FUTURE FOR THAT? SO I CAN ASK YOU THAT.
I MEAN OUR OVERALL PLAN THAT'S UM, IS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE COMING BACK WITH YOU ALL AND WE'LL BE PROBABLY GOING OVER TO THE SECURITY COMMITTEE AS WELL, PROVIDING EVERYBODY UPDATE HOW FAR WE HAVE COME WITH OUR SECURITY PLAN.
AND I WAS JUST AMAZED A FEW MINUTES AGO WHEN I'M SEEING, YOU KNOW, 32 SAFETY AND OFFICERS ADDRESSING SECURITY IN OUR PARKS, WHICH IS UNHEARD OF HOW FAR WE HAVE COME IN, WHAT, PROBABLY SIX YEARS AND ALL BECAUSE OF THIS BOARD PUSHING FOR THE ENHANCEMENTS IN SECURITY AND HEARING FROM THE CITIZENS WHO UTILIZE OUR PARKS AND THE COUNCIL.
AND WE'RE FUNDING FOR THREE MORE THAT THE, WE JUST MENTIONED THAT THE RANGERS, I MEAN THE, UH, MARSHALS HADN'T HAD A CHANCE TO HIRE YET, BUT THIS IS HUGE.
400 PARKS AND WE ALMOST UP TO 40 FOLKS WHO ARE MONITORING SECURITY IN OUR PARKS.
I KNOW CHIEF PEWS WANT US TO GET TO ABOUT A HUNDRED OFFICERS WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE.
BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES, WE CONTINUE AND WE'RE GONNA BE PROVIDING A REPORT.
THIS IS WHAT WE'VE COME, WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH THE ENHANCEMENT, YOU KNOW, RENEE, THEM TEAM PUT TOGETHER THE STRATEGIC, UH, SECURITY PLAN.
AND WE'RE GONNA BE LAYING OUT, THESE ARE THE PHASES WE'RE IN AND THESE ARE THE PHASES WE WANT TO GO NEXT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A LOT MORE OF LIKE THE CAMERAS I PRESENTED TO YOU ALL, UH, A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE MONITOR THESE CAMERAS? 'CAUSE WE GOTTA WORK WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THEY HAVE A CAPACITY.
WHAT I DON'T EVER WANT US TO DO TO GET AHEAD OF THEM, I'M GONNA TRUST THE EXPERTS TO HELP US WITH OUR NEXT PHASES OF HOW DO WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO MONITOR MORE CAMERAS, MORE CAMERAS, WE PUT IN THE PARTS AND HOW MANY MORE WE'RE GONNA TRY TO PUT IN OVER THE NEXT FIVE TO SIX YEARS.
HOW MANY MORE OFFICERS DO WE NEED? WE GOTTA LAY THAT PLAN OUT NOW.
AND WHEREAS FOR ADDITIONAL REPORTING, I'M JUST TELLING YOU, WE AIN'T THERE YET.
WHERE I GOT DEDICATED STAFF LIKE DPD HAS, WHERE THEY MAY HAVE A LIAISON TO THE COUNSELOR OFFICE THAT'S PREPARING THOSE DETAILED REPORTS THAT SOME OF YOU ALL ARE REFERRING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE OVER HERE.
WE DON'T HAVE THOSE RESOURCES YET.
IS THAT GONNA BE PART OF OUR PLAN IN THE FUTURE? HOW THIS YES, BUT WE ARE GONNA HAVE A DETAILED PLAN FOR YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT MONITORING, MORE SECURITY CAMERAS, MORE OFFICERS, AND THEN THAT IS THE PLAN.
DO THE LIST OF THE PARKS THE CAMERAS ARE IN.
YEAH, THEY CAN PROVIDE THAT TO YOU.
AND THEN THE QUESTION, BIG QUESTION THAT I'VE SENT A BUNCH OF EMAILS ABOUT, AND YOU'VE BEEN COPYING RENEE ABOUT, UM, EXACTLY THAT THE COMMUNICATION ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE PARKS.
UM, SOMETIMES WE FIND OUT FROM THE COMMUNITY RATHER THAN FINDING OUT FROM THE PARK DEPARTMENT OR THE MARSHALS OR THE, UM, THE, THE RANGERS ABOUT INCIDENTS THAT HAPPENED IN THE PARK.
SO IS THAT, YOU KIND OF TOUCHED ON THAT, BUT IS THAT GONNA BE COMING? I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN GET INFORMATION.
SO YOU GET, SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE ONE OF THOSE WHERE, YOU KNOW, AS YOU JUST MENTIONED, A LOT OF TIME WE DON'T GET THE INFORMATION, DON'T GET PROMISE.
IT'S, IT'S JUST
SOMETIMES THEY'RE JUST, THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO GET THEIR ARMS AROUND IT.
THEY'RE TRYING TO COME UP WITH THEIR STRATEGIES AND SOMETIMES IT'LL BE PREMATURE FOR US TO START SHARING SOME INFORMATION THAT WE STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AND IT'S STILL GOING THROUGH THE CHAIN, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH DPD MAKING ITS WAY TO RENEE.
AND THEN WHEN IT GETS TO A LEVEL THAT'S WARRANTED FOR ME, RE RENEE, AT THAT POINT, WE GOING TO CONTINUE TO KEEP OUR SAME PRACTICE.
WHEN THEY SET A LEVEL THAT WANTS RENEE AND OUR ATTENTION, THAT'S WHEN WE REACH OUT TO YOU ALL.
ANYTIME THERE'S A HUGE INCIDENT OR SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S, THAT'S SYSTEMIC THAT'S REALLY HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS AND WE AIN'T GOT ALL THE FACTS.
THE FIRST THING I TELL ATION OR TELL MAINTENANCE, SEND THE EMAIL, CALL THE COUNCIL MEMBER AND THE BOARD MEMBER FOR THAT AREA AND LET THEM KNOW.
BUT LIKE I SAID, I DON'T LIKE IT MAY, LET'S JUST GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A, I DON'T WANNA NAME A SPECIFIC FORMS,
[00:35:01]
BUT IF THEY'RE DEALING WITH AN ISSUE WHERE THEY'RE TRYING TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH PATROL OFFICERS WHO MAY BE TALKING TO SOME CITIZENS OR THE CITIZENS MAY HAVE APPROACHED THEM THAT STILL HASN'T MADE ITS WAY TO JEREMY, IT STILL AIN'T MADE ITS WAY TO TO RENEE YET.AND SO WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WE CAN SHARE YET.
BUT ONCE WE GET CONCRETE STUFF LIKE THIS MONTHLY REPORT, WE CAN GIVE IT TO YOU.
AND I'M TELLING YOU, OUR PRACTICE WILL NEVER CHANGE.
WE GET STUFF THAT WARRANTS THE LEVEL OF GETTING TO ME.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF MY QUESTION IS WHAT, HOW DO, HOW DO WE GET, HOW DO WE GET YOU FASTER INFORMATION SO YOU CAN GET IT TO US.
SO WE DON'T HEAR THIRD HAND FROM AN HOA OR FROM CITIZENS THAT, THAT HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT A PARK.
I JUST, WE'RE KIND, WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT IT ON THE BACK END INSTEAD OF BEING PROACTIVE.
SO LIKE I SAID, ONCE AGAIN, I WOULD JUST HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE LIKE CASE BY CASE BASIS THAT WE WOULD NEED TO LOOK AT AND SEE WHERE COULD THE COMMUNICATION BEEN BETTER OR NOT.
UH, I WOULD HAVE TO KNOW CASE BY CASE OR RENEE WOULD HAVE TO KNOW CASE BY CASE.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WARRANTED GETTING STRAIGHT TO YOU ALL RIGHT AWAY? OKAY.
SO I WOULD PREFER AT THIS POINT JUST LET RENEE KNOW WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING WHERE A SPECIFIC INCIDENT YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT FIRST AND THEN GIVE US THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU IF WE KNEW OR NOT.
AND WHAT WAS THE FAILURE IN COMMUNICATION IF IT DIDN'T GET TO THAT LEVEL OF WARRANT IT GETTING TO YOU ALL.
WE DON'T EVER WANT Y'ALL TO GET BLINDSIDED.
THAT IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY TO NOT EVER ALLOW A BOARD MEMBER OR COUNCIL MEMBER TO BE BLINDSIDED WITH SOMEONE APPROACHING YOU ALL FIRST.
'CAUSE WE WANT Y'ALL TO BE ABLE TO, TO ARTICULATE, GIVE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU KNOW.
I TALKED TO RENEE ABOUT THAT AND UH, RENEE, IT WAS SOME OF THE INCIDENTS I'M TALKING ABOUT, BUT EVEN, EVEN THE SMALL THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, HEY, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH DOGS OFF LEASH IN THIS PARK.
HAVE PEOPLE THAT HELP OR, I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BIG INCIDENTS, I'M ALSO TALKING ABOUT SMALLER INCIDENTS.
YOU KNOW, THE, THE DRINKING IN THE PARK THAT WE DISCUSSED AT TIMBER GLENN AND KATIE JACKSON.
WE, WE, WE NEED MORE INFORMATION ON IT.
THAT'D BE A GOOD ONE WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM.
AND SO NOW THERE PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE SOME REGULAR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN JEREMY AND THEM COMMUNICATING TO THE BOARD MEMBER ON A REGULAR BASIS.
WHEN WE GET THOSE TYPES OF SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS, SOMETIMES AGAIN, WE, THEY MAY NOT REALIZE THERE'S A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM UNTIL THEY GET IN THERE AND START DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE.
THEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD MAY HAVE KNOWN ALL ABOUT THIS LAND BEFORE THEY KNEW OR WE KNOW.
'CAUSE LIKE DAVID JACKSON, THOSE PEOPLE WERE VERY DEEP WHEN, WHEN I SAW THAT REPORT, I'M LIKE, OH GOD, THIS HAS BEEN LIKE A ORGANIZED APPROACH.
ACTIVITIES HAPPENING OUT HERE.
THEY'RE DEEP IN THE WOODS HAVING THEIR LITTLE PARTIES.
BUT I'M SO GLAD YOU AND MS. MILLI THAT Y'ALL HAVE STAYED ON THAT AND WORKING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET SOUND LIKE WE GONNA GET THIS UNDER CONTROL.
SO I, I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU, UM, TO DPD INTO MARSHALLS AND JEREMY AND, AND MIGUEL.
UM, BECAUSE WE DID HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT, I MEAN I WAS THERE.
I WAS THERE ON SUNDAY MORNING, SAW THE OFFICER GET RUSHED AND TASED WITH A COUPLE PEOPLE AND AN ACCIDENT AND YOU KNOW, DUI ARREST AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR SPECIFICALLY YOU AND AND YOUR TEAM FOR MEETING WITH RENEE AND NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL TEAM.
SO CAN'T THANK, THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR JUMPING ALL OVER THAT PLEASURE.
MR. JENKINS, MAY I ADD MR. CONNOR, IF YOU DON'T MIND, WITH RESPECT TO WHAT MR. JENKINS SAID, ANYTIME WE HAVE A BANK CHAIR IN CITY, I'M CONTACTING EITHER BY MY NAME OR IF I GET LUCKY, I'M CONTACTED BY 'CAUSE THEY KNOW I'M THE PARK
SOMETIMES THEY'LL SEND ME AN EMAIL AND SAY, HEY CHIEF, WE HAD THIS AT THIS PARK.
IT IS, IT'S A HIT AND MISS IT NEED SOME MAJOR, IT'S A HIT.
GET THAT INFORMATION AND WE OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE FOR THE REASONS THAT MR. JEN SAID, WE DON'T WANT NOBODY YOURSELF OR THE COUNCIL PERSON BLINDSIDE.
YEAH, I I THINK THAT'S, UM, AND I'M ABOUT TO RUN OUTTA TIME, BUT I THINK THAT'S, THAT WAS THE ONE INCIDENT THAT I'VE TALKED TO RENEE ABOUT.
WE HAD A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT, A COUPLE YEARS AGO WAS SEXUAL ASSAULT.
KATIE JACKSON THAT I, I WASN'T AWARE OF.
UM, AND UM, IT, A COUNCIL MEMBER WAS TOLD BY DPD, BUT RENEE AND THE TEAM HERE
[00:40:01]
IN PARKS, WE, I HEARD ABOUT IT FROM THE COUNCIL MEMBER'S OFFICE AND THEN THE COUNCIL MEMBER, I TOLD RAY ACTUALLY TOLD RENEE AND JEREMY THIS AND NATE HAD NO IDEA.SO I MEAN, THAT, THAT WAS A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
WE'VE HAD PROCESSES THEN TO YOUR POINT, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOTTEN BETTER, BUT, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT REALLY UNDERSTAND.
MS. HAS THANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION AND ALL THE WORK YOU DO.
I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS ABOUT, UH, THE NEW A TD THAT'S GONNA BE CLIMATE CONTROLLED FOR Y'ALL.
IS THAT SPECIFICALLY FOR TRAIL? YES, IT'S GONNA BE FOR TRAILS.
UM, THE NEXT QUESTION WAS, UM, WE TALKED ABOUT COVERT OPERATIONS.
SO IS THAT JUST, IS THAT LIKE AN UNDERCOVER YES.
AND IS IT, UM, IS IT FOR SPECIFIC PROBLEMS OR DO YOU JUST SORT OF SEND THEM AROUND EVERYWHERE OR I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW, WHY, HOW THAT YOU WOULD USE THAT WITHIN OUR, OUR PARKS.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, LET'S USE L HOUSTON FOR EXAMPLE.
THAT'S ONE OF OUR PARKS HAVE A LOT OF WHAT WE HAD IN THE PAST, A LOT OF, UH, ENCOUNTERS WHERE PEOPLE WOULD GO TO HAVE RELATIONS WITH EACH OTHER.
SO WITH
IT'S VERY UNIFORM THERE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT
ME AND THE TEAM WALKED THE LUNCH, WALKED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO IT AND IT WAS, IT WAS EASY.
IT WAS, IT WAS VERY DAMN SAW A LOT OF, A LOT OF BAD THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN TO US.
SO THE COVID OPERATION CAPACITY, AND I'VE DONE THIS IN THE PAST, I WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL OF CRIMES.
ME AND OTHER OFFICER AS WELL WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS COVID TRAINING, UM, HAVE USED IT TO UTILIZE THAT PLAN FOR SUSPECTS, ASSESS AN AREA, AND THEN TO EXECUTE, UH, AN OPERATION THAT WE HAD GOING ON.
SO WITH THIS BEING SAID AS WELL, UH, THE DEPUTIES WILL BE TRAINED TO HOW TO RESPOND TO AN INCIDENT COME ACROSS.
AND IT'S GONNA BE A PLETHORA OF THINGS.
PLETHORA OF ANYTHING COME ACROSS IN THE PARK, RATHER BE HOMELESS, SMOKING.
AT LEAST THE BIGGER THING BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE REALLY GONNA DO AT THE END OF THE DAY IS GET THE PEOPLE AND THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND LIKE, WE DON'T KNOW WHO WAS ALL WATCHING THEY TO WHEN I WAS KID, SON.
ALWAYS REMEMBER SOMEBODY'S ALWAYS WATCHING.
AND SO THAT'S GONNA BE THE SAME CONCEPT WITH THE, WITH US DEPLOYING COVERT DEPUTIES.
UM, IF THE PEOPLE WERE IN A PARK WHO HAD BAD HABITS AND CONTINUE THESE BAD HABITS, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN CAUGHT.
NOW THEY'RE STARTING TO GET CAUGHT A LOT.
WHY? 'CAUSE SOMEBODY'S ALWAYS WATCHING.
NOBODY MEANS HE WAS, BUT HE ALL OF A SUDDEN NEEDS TO COME UP AND TAKE HASH YOU.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S, WE'LL HAVE SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF TOO.
UH, SEAL THAT CASE, WHATEVER OFFICE SPEAKER.
SO WHAT'LL BE DEPLOYING FOR THE COVID OPERATIONS FOR A PLETHORA OF THINGS, NOT JUST ONE PARTICULAR THING.
AND I ONE PARTICULAR PARKING HERE COVER JUST MEANING THEY'RE NOT IN UNIFORM.
UM, WOO BOY, THIS, THIS IS DARK.
IT'S SCARIER THAN SOME BRIEFINGS OF THE PAST.
UH, IT'LL, IT MIGHT TAKE SOME PARK LOVERS, UH, AND, AND MAKE THEM WANT TO WALK AWAY FROM OUR PARKS.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? UH, THAT'S FINE.
STILL, I WANT THANK YOU BECAUSE, UM, THE DETAILS THAT YOU PROVIDE, UM, THEY WERE AS I BELIEVE THERE, AS DETAILS AS YOU CAN GIVE US.
UH, THIS STUFF NEEDS TO BE HEARD.
UM, AND DIRECTOR JENKINS, THIS IS A NOT TO YOU SIR.
THIS SHOWS HOW THIS DEPARTMENT, UM, INTENDS TO, UH, RUN TOWARDS ITS PROBLEMS, OKAY? VERSUS SOMETIMES RUNNING AWAY FROM ITS PROBLEMS, WHICH I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS DEPARTMENT DO.
UH, WE DON'T SWEEP ANYTHING UNDER THE RUG HERE.
THERE'S NO RUGS IN THIS ROOM EVEN.
UM, BUT, UH, SO I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
UH, BUT I DO HAVE SOMETHING CUTE AND CUDDLY.
I SEE PARK RANGER BIKE METRICS, AN AVERAGE BIKE RIDE.
I KNOW IT'S HOT AS HECK OUTSIDE.
SO NEXT QUARTER LET'S DOUBLE THESE NUMBERS.
BECAUSE AS I LOOK AT, UH, 9.3 MILES AROUND WHITE ROCK LAKE, THAT'S ONE LEISURELY LAP AROUND THE LAKE
AND YOU WON'T BE IN THE SUMMER OF SIZZLE ANYMORE.
SO LET'S, I, I WANNA JOIN YOU ON, OKAY, KENNER AND I WANNA JOIN YOU.
ADD TO THAT, THE REASON WHY THOSE NUMBERS BLEW IS 'CAUSE OUR BIKE, SOP, THEY DON'T PROVIDE PAST NINE, FIVE DEGREES.
IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OUR RANGER.
THAT'S WHY THOSE NUMBERS WILL GO BACK UP.
ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE MORE OF OUR RANGER CERTIFIED
[00:45:01]
NOW WE HAVE LIKE, HEY, WE'RE GONNA SEND TWO MORE HERE SOON.SO WE'RE GONNA, AND THEN I THINK WE'RE GONNA GET A COUPLE MORE.
SO MORE THAN HALF OF OUR RANGER WILL BE BIKE CERTIFIED.
THOSE MILES WILL GO UP, ESPECIALLY AS THE TEMPERATURES DROPPED.
BUT YEAH, THAT'S WHY THE NUMBER LOOKS LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO SQUEEZE IN BIKE.
'CAUSE WE WANT THEM TO STILL BE ON BIKES.
BUT WHEN IT IS 95, THAT ONE COMES BACK.
I JUST WANT TO, UH, BACK UP WITH SOMETHING THAT DIRECTOR JENKINS SAID ABOUT HOW FAR THIS DEPARTMENT HAS COME.
UH, SEVEN YEARS AGO, MR. BLAIR, MR. MR. SLAUGHTER, MR. KITNER, MS. COLS, BRATEN AND I CAME ON THIS BOARD, OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY IN THIS DEPARTMENT.
SIX PARK RANGERS, ONLY ONE OF WHOM COULD WRITE A CITATION.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE HE CAME OVER FOR CODE.
BUT THE WAY THE DISTANCE WE'VE COME IS BEYOND STAGGERING AND IT'S INCREDIBLE.
I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
IT'S, AND I HOPE THE CITIZENS UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS, THERE'S BEEN A MAJOR COMMITMENT, I MEAN BEYOND ANYTHING THAT I COULD EVER IMAGINE.
AND IT'S JUST SUCH A GREAT SUCCESS.
UM, LOOKING AT THE CHARTS, I JUST ONE OF SAY FOR ANYONE THAT'S LOOKING AT THEM, UH, THE BAR GRAPHS, UH, UM, WHEN IT COMES TO BACHMAN, IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A SKYSCRAPER SITTING THERE WITH ALL THE OTHER LITTLE BUILDINGS UP.
BUT I WOULD SAY THAT PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE THE ENHANCED ENFORCEMENT AT BACHMAN AND I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT IT WOULD BE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT AT BACHMAN.
UM, AND I JUST WAS WONDERING, UH, ON THE OVERLOOK, TRINITY OVERLOOK, THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE ACTIVITY THERE.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE, WITH THE TRINITY OVERLOOK? UH, TRINITY OVERLOOK IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT JUST PEAKED PEAK.
IT UGLY HAD, UH, LATE LAST YEAR, EARLIER THIS YEAR.
AND THAT TOO AS WELL HAS TRENDED DOWN AS FAR AS FROM ACTIVITIES.
UH, WE WORK WITH THE, THE WATERSHED, UH, ENVIRONMENTAL CROPS FOR THE LIVING WILL COME AT BOTH THOSE ISSUES.
I KNOW WE HAD COMPLAINTS IN THE PAST WHERE THERE WERE SOME TRAIL AND BIKE RIDERS IN THE TRAIL PART OF THE LIVING.
AND OF COURSE IT PAIRS UP WITH A TRAINING OVERBOOK, BUT PEOPLE, UH, SMOKING, CONSUMING OUT ALCOHOL, ET CETERA.
AND SO WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER WITH THAT AS WELL.
AND THERE WAS A SPIKE, THERE WAS A HUGE SPIKE, THERE WAS A LOT OF ED THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON OVERCOME THAT TASK AND THAT OBSTACLE SO THAT IT'S, WE DRIVE PATH THROUGH THEIR DOWN EMPTY, WHICH IS GREAT, BUT PEOPLE DOING LL PARK THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO, CAN'T RUN A TRAIL LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO GAZE AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.
WELL THANK YOU FOR LOOKING OVER THE TRINITY OVERLOOK AND ADDRESSING THAT.
UH, AND THEN I JUST HAD A WEIRD LITTLE QUESTION, UM, ON THE DOG SWEEPS.
I KNOW WE DID 69 DOG SWEEPS THAT RESULTED IN SIX CITATIONS.
UM, WHAT'S THE NATURE OF THE DOG SWEEPS? UM, 'CAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE WE GOT A LOT OF EFFORT IN, BUT NOT THAT MANY CITATIONS STILL BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE PARK AND WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO DRIVE TO AND WE CAN'T NECESSARILY DRIVE INTO ALL THE PARK 'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE EQUIPMENT TO DO.
SO WE'RE DRIVING CHARGES CORRECTLY.
UH, BUT IF WE SEE SOMEONE WITH THE DOG OFF LEASH, WE'LL UH, TRY TO APPROACH 'EM.
BUT BY THE TIME THE OFFICERS GET TO 'EM, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE PARK, THEY'RE GONNA HOOK UP AND THEY'RE GONE.
UH, SO THE ONES THAT WE DO STOP SOMETIMES WE'LL GET STRATEGIC ON IT.
FOR EXAMPLE, GRIGGS UH, WILL PARK BETWEEN THE TOWN HOMES AND THE MAIN, MAIN RIVER FAIR AND THEY SEE US COMING.
WE'VE ALREADY SAW THE QUALITY AND THEY'LL GO TOWARDS THE OTHER WITH THE OFFICERS WAITING FOR THEM TO MEET.
SO THAT'S WHERE CITATION THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
CHIEF WAS, AND JEREMY, THAT'S IT.
UH, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR THIS PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING TO KEEP OUR PARKS AND TRAILS SAFE.
I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF WORK GOING ON TO DO THAT WITH LIMITED RESOURCES AND WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.
UH, EVERYTHING THAT Y'ALL ARE DOING.
UH, A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS ON, UM, THE PARK RANGERS THEMSELVES.
HOW DO THEY DETERMINE WHAT SITES THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO EACH DAY? IS IT BASED ON WHERE THERE'S BEEN ACTIVITY OR IF THERE'S AN EVENT OR DO THEY HAVE DISCRETION ON WHERE TO GO? OR ARE THEY ASSIGNED LOCATIONS? HOW DOES THAT ALL, HOW DOES THAT ALL WORK? SO THE RANGERS ARE ASSIGNED TO A DISTRICT.
THEY PRETTY MUCH HAVE THAT SAME DISTRICT FOR WEEK AND THEN THEY ROTATE.
DEFINITELY ALL OUR ARRANGERS ARE WORKING THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
UH, THEY, THEY'RE SCHEDULE AND HONESTLY THEY REALLY HAVE, THEY CAN SET THEIR SCHEDULE HOW, WHERE THEY'RE GONNA GO AS LONG AS THEY'RE
IF WE HAVE A PARTICULAR HOTSPOT THAT NEEDS TO BE HIT AT A PARTICULAR TIME, I GOTTA MAKE SURE THEY HIT THAT AS WELL.
BUT IT ALLOWS 'EM TO DO A RANDOM SCHEDULE AS WELL.
SO KIND OF JUST, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN THEIR MOST PARK THEY'RE ASSIGNED TO.
AND IF COMMUNITY GROUPS OR FRIENDS GROUPS HAVE EVENTS THEY
[00:50:01]
WANT PARK RANGERS TO ATTEND, WHAT'S THE BEST WAY FOR THEM TO SCHEDULE THOSE? UH, CALL ME OR SEND ME AN EMAIL.AND WE'LL SET IT UP BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ADDRESS GOOD, GOOD.
WANT TO GET OUT THERE AND WE'RE OKAY.
WE'LL LEAVE A BRING MARSHALL FRIENDS ALONG.
BUT HOW DO Y'ALL DETERMINE WHICH TRAILS YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO? IS IT THE SAME THING? SAME THING BASED OFF OF HOTSPOT.
SO IF WE HAVE A HOTSPOT SITUATION WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO, AND WE WANTED TO, AND JUST SO YOU KNOW WITH, SO THE WAY THAT OUR U YOU SEE THE UTV NUMBERS ARE UP HIGH AND A LOT OF 'EM ARE FURTHER NORTH, NORTHEAST IS BECAUSE CURRENTLY WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET OUR UTV TRAILER.
SO ALL THE UTV ACTIVITIES OPERATING OUT OF WHITE ROCK.
SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A HIGH WHITE DOG MILES AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF MILE THE TRAIL TO CONNECT TO WHITE ROCK.
SO OUR BIKES, WE'RE TRYING TO PUSH TO THE SOUTHERN PART SO WE CAN MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING THE SOUTHERN TRAILS AS WELL.
UM, BUT YEAH, IT'S BASICALLY OFF THE HOTSPOT AS WELL.
AND THEN WE KIND OF WANT 'EM TO TRY TO RIDE THAT TRAIL AS MUCH AS WE CAN THEN MOVE TO THE NEXT TRAIL IN THE CLOSEST DISTRICT OR WITHIN THE SAME DISTRICT AND JUST TRY TO GET AS MUCH COVERAGE.
IS THE UTV STORED AT WHITEROCK LAKE? IS THAT WHY? OKAY.
YOU HAVE TWO OF, BUT THEY'RE NOT AC SO THEY'RE, THEY THEY OFFER IN THE SAME SOP AS OUR BIKES AT NINE FIVE DEGREES.
AND, AND I ASSUME THE UTVS MOVE FASTER THAN THE BIKES SO YOU CAN COVER MORE GROUND YES.
THE BIKES THEMSELVES, UH, E-BIKES OR ARE THEY TRADITIONAL BIKES? THEY'RE TRADITIONAL BIKES.
IT MAY BE WORTHWHILE, THERE'S A WAY TO INVEST IN SOME E-BIKES HERE AS WELL.
I THINK THAT WILL HELP IMPROVE EFFICIENCY TOO.
SO, SO A BIT OF HISTORY ON THAT.
SO OUR, THE REASON WHY WE HAVE TRADITIONAL BIKES IS AT THE TIME THE BIKE COORDINATOR DID NOT USE E-BIKES AND HE WAS OUR BIKE MECHANIC.
I WILL SAY THIS, AT OUR LAST BIKE TRAINING THAT WE WENT TO, THE DVD UH, TRAINER WAS ON AN E-BIKE.
SO WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO START LOOKING AT THAT AVENUE AS WELL BECAUSE WE, WE DEFINITELY KNOW AND AND UNDERSTAND TOO THAT THE OTHER E-BIKES, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO COVER MORE AS WELL.
AND I THINK OUR RANGERS WOULD LIKE IT TOO.
WE'LL COVER MORE GROUND AND IT'LL BE MORE EFFICIENT.
WE WON'T HAVE TO WORK AS HARD AT THE HEAT.
AND, AND THIS MAY BE A LITTLE BIT OFF TOPIC, BUT UH, FOR SOME OF OUR, LIKE IN LB HOUSTON OR WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THE VALLEY WOODED AREA WHERE THERE'S GONNA BE NATURE TRAILS, HAVE WE CONSIDERED LIKE EVEN LIKE A MOUNTAIN BIKE OR SOMETHING TO GO INTO THOSE AREAS? IS THAT SOMETHING WE'D LOOK AT? WE CAN LOOK AT IT.
WE HAVEN'T REALLY LOOKED AT NOW 'CAUSE OUR BIKES ARE STRICTLY TO THE PAINT.
BUT IT IS DEFINITELY NOT OFF THE TABLE.
JUST, YEAH, JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS MORE OF THESE NATURE TRAIL AREAS DEVELOPED THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
UM, AND THEN I WOULD NOTE ON BRIDGE PARK, UH, IT LOOKED LIKE THAT WAS THE HIGHEST CITATION FOR OFF-LEASH DOGS.
SO I THINK THAT SUPPORTS WHAT WE HEARD FROM OUR YOUNG, UH, LEADER HERE TODAY ABOUT PUTTING A DOG PARK THERE.
THANK YOU MR. THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR, FOR GOOD WORK AND DEFINITELY APPRECIATE UM, THIS MEETING, ALL THE WORK THROUGH, I JUST WANTED TO ITERATE RE AND MR. GREEN'S POINT ABOUT THE KIND OF BIKE PATROL, UH, METRICS.
CAN YOU TELL ME, REMIND ME HOW MANY, UH, RANGERS WE HAVE ON BIKES TYPICALLY KIND OF WHAT HOURS THEY WORK? SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE EIGHT CERTIFIED.
THEY, WE BRING THEM IN EARLIER SO THEY CAN START AT 10.
ACTUALLY THIS PAST WEEK WE STARTED RING 'EM AT NINE TO TRY TO GET 'EM ANOTHER HOUR ON THE BIKE, BUT AS SOON AS THAT NINE FIVE HEADS, WE HAVE 'EM BACK UP.
UH, NOW, HOWEVER, ONCE THE TEMPERATURES DROP AGAIN THEY'LL BE A 10 TO SIX SCHEDULE AND THEY'RE ON THE BIKES ALL.
SO WHAT AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING IF THEY'RE PULLED BACK? THEY'RE GOING, THEY'RE, THEN THEY'RE TEAMED UP AND THEY'RE DOING A REGULAR PATROL.
IS THERE NOT ANY WAY TO GO EVEN EARLIER DURING THE HOT DAYS THAT FOR THE SHIFT BEING EARLY WE CAN, WE JUST, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH THEM BECAUSE THEIR SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW, IF THEY'RE NOT ON BIKE AND THEY'RE NOT BIKE EVERY DAY, DAY, IT FLUCTUATES SO MUCH BECAUSE THEY SAY ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE, THEY COME IN AT ONE 30 RIGHT NOW.
SO BRINGING 'EM IN THAT EARLY AND THEN THE NEXT DAY BRINGING 'EM IN ONE 30 TO 10 AND TRYING TO ASK THEM TO COME IN AT EIGHT THE NEXT DAY, WE'RE TRYING TO BE OKAY.
AND UH, THANK YOU HAS BEEN
THANK WITH THAT WE MOVE TO OUR CONCENTRATING TIME, WE'RE PULLING BACK NUMBER FIVE.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? SECOND SAYS ANY, ANY DISCUSSIONS ON ANY OF THE ITEMS THAT ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
UH, LET'S TALK, UH, NUMBER FIVE, DISCOVERY,
[00:55:01]
TRADE GATEWAY, PROMOTION.UH, REASON I LIKE THIS WITH DISCUSSION AND I'LL MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR.
AND, AND, AND MY QUESTION IS, WHY, WHY, WHY? YOU KNOW, I'M NOT, UH, I'M LOOKING AT THE SAME GROUP.
YOU HAD PROBLEM WITH THE
WHY DO WE KEEP BENDING OVER? THAT'S, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
MR. JENKINS? YEAH, I I'M NOT CHRIS YOU HAVE THE DATE ON THE YEAH, I'M PRESS AL AND CARDBOARD MEMBER SLAUGHTER.
UM, THE MAIN GROUP WAS A LITTLE BIT ON THIS CONTRACT.
UM, WE HAVE DONE DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS.
THEY HAVE THE, UM, CREDENTIALS TO DO THIS PROJECT.
THE ONE THAT THEY ARE COMPLETING ON 30 STRAND TRAIL RIGHT NOW.
UM, THE PROJECT, THE SILVER DISCOVERY TRAIL IS BASICALLY ALONG THE ROAD.
IT'S A VERY COMPLICATED PROJECT, VERY SIMILAR ONE
AND WHEN THE PROJECT IS LOCATED, WE DON'T HAVE OTHER THAN TO TAKE A LITTLE BIDDER AS LONG AS THEY QUALIFICATIONS WHICH MAIN GROUP HAS ON THIS PROJECT.
ISSA, YOU KNOW, I'M A BIG FAN OF YOURS BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT I THINK THIS IS WHAT WAS SAYING EARLIER ABOUT, UH, MY EXTENDED COLLEAGUES, MR. CONNOR AND HIS
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? YEAH, YEAH.
WHEN I'M LOOKING AT SOMEONE LIKE ME THAT YOU'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH BEFORE AND I SEE A CONTRACT COME UP AND ONE OF MY MAIN ISSUES WAS IF THEY WERE NOT COMPLYING WITH MINORITY PARTICIPATION, BUT IF I HAD KNOWN THAT THEY'RE COMPLYING AND DOING THE RIGHT THING, UH, THIS WOULD'VE NEVER CAME UP ON MY ON, ON MY POINT OF VIEW.
SO I'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'VE COMPLIED AND, AND, AND YOU KNOW, HERE WE GO TO THE LOWEST BIDDER, WE'VE HAD PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN LOWEST BIDDERS AND THEY DIDN'T THE CONTRACT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A QUESTION FOR ME, BUT I CAN JUST SAY I'M, I'M MAKING A STATEMENT.
YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU, YOU KNOW, A DUCK IS A DUCK IS A DUCK.
ONCE YOU SHOW ME YOUR TRUE COLORS, I'M NOT GONNA MOVE FROM THAT.
YOU KNOW, UH, WHEN WE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS GROUP BEFORE AND THEY BLATANTLY SAID, YOU KNOW, PUSHING AGAINST THE MINORITY PARTICIPATION AND I KEEP SEEING, WE KEEP AWARDING THESE PEOPLE CONTRACT THAT THE CONTRACT, THAT'S WHERE I HAVE A PROBLEM COME BACK AND KILL ME.
THAT HEY, UH, WE HAD TO GO WITH THE LOWEST PERIOD THEY COMPLY TO MINORITY PARTICIPATION.
UH, I DON'T KNOW THIS UNTIL I GET THIS IN FRONT OF ME.
THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M ABRUPTLY SAYING, HEY, PULL THIS FOR DISCUSSION NOW.
CHRIS, THANKS TO YOU, YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS.
I JUST WANNA JUST ONCE AGAIN REDIRECT TO THE BOARD.
WE, WE FOLLOW THE CITY'S PROCESS AS IT RELATES TO NWB
AND THERE ARE SOME CHANGES THEY'RE GONNA BE MAKING.
Y'ALL GONNA BE HERE PRETTY SOON RELATES TO THE FAITH EFFORT.
DO WE HAVE DATA? HOW MANY CONTRACTS WE HAVE GIVEN TO
SO OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, AND THIS INFORMATION IS IN YOUR AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET.
UM, BASICALLY THEY'VE HAD TWO PROJECTS COMPLETED WITH US CHANGE ORDER THAT POINT OF TIME WHEN THEY PAID, SO THEY WERE THE LOWEST BIDDER WHO WAS THE NEXT OR THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
AND HAVING CHANGE ORDER RESPIRATOR DOESN'T
[01:00:01]
MATTER.WE, THE REASON I'M SAYING IT, WE DISCUSS THIS PAIN GROUP ALL THE TIME.
WE RAISE OVER ISSUES AND THEN PROCUREMENT AGAIN KEEPS ON GIVING THEM THEN WHAT'S USE OF THIS BOAT.
