[Council Committee Parks, Trails & Environment Committee on October 6, 2025.]
I'M CALLING THIS MEETING TO ORDER AT 9:06. BEFORE I ACTUALLY GET INTO THE AGENDA, I WANT TO WELCOME OUR FORMER MEMBERS BACK. CHAIR WEST, CHAIR BAZALDUA, AND CHAIR BLACKMON.IT'S WHEN WE ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES, LISTEN TO OUR DEPARTMENTS, PRESENT BRIEFINGS AND MEMOS ON THEIR WORK, WHETHER IT'S A NEW PROJECT THAT WILL EVENTUALLY COME TO COUNCIL FOR VOTE OR AN UPDATE ON CURRENT PROJECTS.
OUR FOCUS AND ATTENTION AT THE COMMITTEE LEVEL IS IMPORTANT.
WE NEED TO DO TWO THINGS. ONE, LISTEN WELL AND GIVE FEEDBACK THAT REPRESENTS OUR VOICE, THE VOICE OF OUR DISTRICT, OR THE VOICE OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE. GOOD CITY GOVERNMENT DEPENDS ON THIS DIALOG.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE IT A PRIORITY. OKAY. OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS TO APPROVE THE JUNE 2ND, 2025 MINUTES.
AYE. AYE. AYE. OKAY, MOTION PASSES. LET'S GO TO OUR ONE AND ONLY BRIEFING ITEM.
THIS MORNING, NEW MEMBERS WERE GETTING OFF A LITTLE LIGHT TODAY, SO JUST ENJOY.
BECAUSE WE WILL BE DIGGING IN ON SOME OTHER ISSUES LATER THIS FALL.
OUR BRIEFING ITEM IS A PARK SAFETY SECURITY UPDATE FROM KEVIN MONDY, SUPERINTENDENT, PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS OUR OFFICE OF DATA AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE GROUP.
BRITA, IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU. I'LL LET YOU GUYS INTRODUCE YOURSELVES.
GOOD MORNING. KEVIN MONDY, SUPERINTENDENT, DALLAS PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT.
AND YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THIS MORNING OUR PRESENTATION WILL BE DONE IN COLLABORATION WITH THE OFFICE OF DATA ANALYTICS AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE. OUR PRESENTATION OVERVIEW WILL BE AS FOLLOWING.
WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION REGARDING OUR PROJECT.
THEN WE'LL HAVE A PRESENTATION OVERVIEW OF THE DALLAS PARK SAFETY DASHBOARD.
AND THEN WE'LL MOVE RIGHT INTO NEXT STEPS. NEXT SLIDE.
THIS PRESENTATION WILL INTRODUCE THIS COLLABORATIVE PROJECT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DALLAS PARK SAFETY DASHBOARD, AGAIN, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE OFFICE OF DATA ANALYTICS AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE.
I WANT TO REMIND THE COMMITTEE OF OUR PRIMARY FOCUS AREAS, AS THEY HAVE BEEN LAID OUT IN OUR PARK SAFETY AND STRATEGIC PLAN, INTERAGENCY INITIATIVES, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, EQUIPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE INVENTORY, AND SAFETY STRATEGY GUIDELINES.
WE'RE PLEASED TO UNVEIL AND DEMONSTRATE THIS TOOL AND TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK TODAY.
THE PARKS TEAM CAME TO US WITH A REQUEST TO AUTOMATE THEIR REPORTING.
RANGER AND MARSHAL REPORTING BOTH TO THEIR STAKEHOLDERS AND RESIDENTS WAS OCCURRING QUARTERLY, AND THEY WANTED TO INCREASE THAT RATE. IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN POSSIBLE AT THE NUMBER OF HOURS THEY WERE SPENDING, IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 60-ISH HOURS TO PRODUCE THIS REPORT MANUALLY FROM THEIR VARIOUS SOURCES, AND WE WERE ABLE TO COME IN AND USE AUTOMATION TOOLS TO EXPEDITE THAT.
WE'RE PROVIDING INSIGHT ON PARK RANGER AND MARSHAL ACTIVITIES, THEIR PERFORMANCE, AND WE'RE ENHANCING EASE OF COMMUNICATION WITH RESIDENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS. ON THE NEXT SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DELIVERABLE PRIMARILY IS THIS TOOL THAT WILL BE PUBLIC SO RESIDENTS CAN VIEW IT, AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL TEAM TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY ARE GIVING CITATIONS, WHERE THEY'RE ISSUING WARNINGS SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE CHANGES AS APPROPRIATE TO ENHANCE SAFETY IN OUR PARKS. SO FROM OUR NEXT STEPS HERE, JUST SOME FEW THINGS TO POINT OUT BEFORE WE GO TO THE DASHBOARD.
THE MAIN BENEFIT IS THE AUTOMATION MOVING FROM QUARTERLY TO DAILY.
IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE AT CURRENT STAFFING LEVELS WITHOUT THIS WORK.
WE'VE ALSO ENHANCED OUR TRANSPARENCY AND THE FREQUENCY OF OUR REPORTING.
SO INSTEAD OF EVERYONE LEARNING ABOUT THIS ONCE A QUARTER, THEY CAN SEE IT EVERY SINGLE DAY.
[00:05:05]
CONCERNED ABOUT AND SEE THAT EVERY DAY AS OPPOSED TO ONCE A QUARTER.SO SOME OF OUR JUST A FEW PRELIMINARY FINDINGS.
AND WHAT WE DID FIND WAS THAT ALMOST 40% OF THOSE RECORDED INFRACTIONS WERE OCCURRING IN THAT TIME PERIOD CURFEW, ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION, POSSESSION, AS WELL AS PARKING VIOLATIONS.
WE WERE ABLE TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND KIND OF THE TOP INFRACTION TYPES, AS WELL AS LEARNING THAT WHAT WE SAW WAS THAT OVER IN GENERAL, 90% OF RESIDENTS COMPLY WHEN ASKED TO COMPLY WITH A RULE BY A PARK RANGER.
I'M GOING TO HAND THINGS OVER TO JOCELYN GUERRO, WHO IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A DEMONSTRATION, AND THEN WE'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND COLLECT ANY FEEDBACK YOU HAVE.
JOCELYN. THANK YOU FOR THAT INTRODUCTION, DOCTOR BRITA ANDERCHECK, AND THANK YOU, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, FOR YOUR TIME. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. ON YOUR SCREEN, YOU'RE SEEING THE DALLAS PARK AND RECREATION SAFE PARK DASHBOARD.
THE DASHBOARD HAS TWO PAGES, THE PARK RANGERS PAGE AND THE MARSHALS PAGE.
WE HAVE FISCAL YEAR FILTERS AND MONTH FILTERS.
YOU CAN SELECT A PARTICULAR FISCAL YEAR THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, OR A MONTH.
YOU COULD ALSO SELECT RANGES. SO IF YOU WERE INTERESTED IN QUARTER ONE OF FISCAL YEAR 2025, THE DASHBOARD WOULD SHOWCASE THAT INFORMATION.
BELOW THAT YOU'LL SEE THE NAVIGATION BUTTONS.
THE ONE THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED WILL SHOW YOU THE PAGE THAT YOU'RE ON. AND THEN BELOW THAT, YOU'LL SEE THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BUTTON THAT HAS DASHBOARD DEFINITIONS, CONTACT INFORMATION FOR PARK AND RECREATION, AS WELL AS LINKS TO THEIR WEBSITE.
NOW INTO THE NUMBERS OF THE DASHBOARD. THE FIRST NUMBER YOU'LL SEE IS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VISITS CONDUCTED BY PARK RANGERS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 AND THEN THE POP UP, YOU CAN SEE THAT BREAKDOWN OVER TIME. NEXT, YOU'LL SEE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF INFRACTIONS AS WELL AS OUR TOP INFRACTIONS.
NOW LET'S DROP DOWN. YOU'LL SEE THE BAR CHARTS WHICH SHOWCASE OUR TOP TEN INFRACTIONS OVERALL.
TOP TEN PARKS WITH INFRACTIONS. TOP TEN PARKS WITH A SPECIFIC INFRACTION TYPE OF DOG OFF LEASH, AND THEN OUR TOP TEN PARKS WITH TRAIL MILES RECORDED.
AND AGAIN YOU'LL SEE THAT BREAKDOWN FOR GREEN FOR UTV AND BLUE FOR BIKE MILES.
YOU CAN FILTER THAT MAP TO SEE IT BY COUNCIL DISTRICT, PARK MAINTENANCE DISTRICT OR PARKS DISTRICTS, AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE INTERACTION BY INFRACTIONS, TRAIL MILEAGE, VISITS, OR CITATIONS.
TO THE RIGHT OF THAT, YOU'LL SEE THE PARK LIST, WHICH HAS THE PARK NAMES AND COUNTS, AND WHEN YOU CLICK ON THAT PARK NAME, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE THAT PARK IS LOCATED ACROSS THE CITY OF DALLAS.
AND THEN FINALLY WE HAVE OUR PARK RANGERS COMPLIANCE RATES TABLES.
THAT GIVES YOU A SNAPSHOT BY MONTH OF WHAT PARK RANGERS ARE DOING, INCLUDING TOTAL INFRACTIONS, COMPLIANCE RECEIVED, NOT RECEIVED, COMPLIANCE RATE AND CITATIONS ISSUED.
NEXT, I'LL TAKE YOU TO THAT DALLAS MARSHALS PAGE.
IT HAS A SIMILAR LOOK AND FEEL TO IT. YOU'LL SEE THE NAVIGATION BAR THAT ALSO HAS OUR DATE FILTERS BY FISCAL YEAR AND MONTH, OUR NAVIGATION BUTTONS, AND OUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BUTTON.
THAT AGAIN WILL GIVE YOU DASHBOARD DEFINITIONS AS WELL AS LINKS.
THIS PAGE HAS AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF GRANULARITY, WHICH IS SHIFT TYPE.
YOU'LL SEE FIRST WATCH SHIFT AND GENERAL SHIFT.
FIRST WATCH SHIFT IS MARSHALL SHIFTS FROM 11 P.M.
TO 4:49 A.M. GENERAL SHIFT IS EVERYTHING ELSE.
NEXT, YOU'LL SEE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF INFRACTIONS LISTED, OUR TOTAL NUMBER OF CITATIONS, TOTAL NUMBER OF WARNINGS, AND THEN FINALLY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ARRESTS MADE.
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT BREAKDOWN BY MONTH AND FISCAL YEAR.
AND THEN AGAIN, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR MAP THAT HAS THE LAYERS OF COUNCIL DISTRICT, PARK MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS AND PARKS DISTRICTS, AND THE INTERACTIONS THAT YOU WILL SEE IS INFRACTION, CITATIONS, WARNINGS AND ARRESTS.
AND AGAIN, YOU'LL HAVE THAT HIGHLIGHT TOOL WITH THE PARK LIST TO THE RIGHT OF THAT.
[00:10:05]
SO PARK USERS CAN GET A SENSE OF HOW THINGS ARE LOOKING ACROSS THE YEAR.BELOW THAT, WE HAVE OUR TOP TEN INFRACTIONS BROKEN DOWN BY SHIFT TYPE.
AND THESE TWO VISUALIZATIONS HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE FILTERED TO SHOWCASE BREAKDOWN BAR CHART AS WELL AS TOP CITATIONS AND ARRESTS BY PARK. YOU COULD DO THAT BY SELECTING THE DROP DOWN MENU TO SHOWCASE THAT VISUALIZATION.
WITH THAT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. AND I'LL HAND THINGS BACK OFF TO DOCTOR BRITA ANDERCHECK.
SO WE'RE HERE FOR ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU HAVE, ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, I WILL SAY WE'RE AT A DISADVANTAGE.
BECAUSE WE CAN'T PULL IT UP ON OUR COMPUTER. WE ALSO ARE HAVING TO SEE IT ON A VERY TINY SCREEN.
AND SO YOU'VE DESCRIBED IT WELL, BUT IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT, I THINK, FOR THOSE OF US UP HERE THAT INFORMATION. SO COULD WE GO BACK TO THE FIRST.
YEAH, THAT HELPS TO HAVE IT A LITTLE BIT BIGGER. GO BACK TO YOUR FIRST PAGE.
I THINK THAT WAS THE PARK RANGERS. IS THAT RIGHT? THE RANGERS PAGE? THAT ONE. YES, MA'AM. WE CAN DO THAT.
AND LET'S JUST START WITH THE BASIC. WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS AT THE TOP? WHAT DO THEY REPRESENT? STARTING GOING LEFT TO RIGHT, SLOWLY.
SORRY, BUT WE NEED JUST SO WE CAN PROCESS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S THERE.
OKAY. THAT'S THE NUMBER OF PARK RANGER VISITS.
YES. OKAY. AND THE NEXT NUMBER AGAIN. THE NEXT NUMBER YOU WILL SEE IS OVER 4000 NUMBER OF INFRACTIONS CITED BY PARK RANGERS, FOLLOWED BY 2000 TRAIL MILES RECORDED BY PARK RANGERS, AND THEN LASTLY 91.2% COMPLIANCE RATE BY PARK RANGERS FOR THE YEAR OF FISCAL YEAR 2025. SO THE PARK RANGERS ARE REPORTING COMPLIANCE RATE OF 91% WITH THEIR REQUESTS.
YES, MA'AM. THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GIVE ANY TYPE OF CITATION.
IS THAT CORRECT? THE ONLY CITATION THEY CAN GIVE OUT IS PARKING ON APPROVED SURFACES.
PARKING ON. OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT LANE MILES ON THE TRAILS.
IF THERE IS AN INCIDENT IN ONE X LOCATION, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT AS A ONE MILE.
IS THAT CORRECT? THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. COULD YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION? AND SO IF THERE IS AN INCIDENT AT LANE MILE NUMBER 102, LAKE HIGHLANDS TRAIL, I WALKED THAT AREA.
IT WILL SHOW UP AS A FULL MILE? I THINK THE QUESTION IS, IF THERE'S AN INCIDENT AT A SPECIFIC MARKER ON THE TRAIL. RIGHT. YES, WE CAN RECORD THAT INCIDENT AT THAT SPECIFIC MARKER ON THE TRAIL, AS WELL AS DISPATCH SOMEBODY BY IDENTIFYING WHERE THAT INCIDENT OCCURRED. RIGHT.
BUT YOU WERE REPORTING SO MANY LANE MILES AS HAVING INCIDENTS.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT. SORRY, THAT IS JUST THE MILES THAT THE RANGERS ARE RIDING TO BE PRESENT, TO BE OBSERVING INFRACTIONS, TO BE INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE.
SO THAT'S JUST THE AMOUNT OF GROUND THAT THEY'RE COVERING. THE GROUND THAT THEY'RE COVERING. OKAY. AND I JUST I WANTED TO OFFER CHAIR STEWART, WE DID SEND A LINK OUT TO ALL OF YOU. WE ARE HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU INDIVIDUALLY TO GO THROUGH THIS WITH YOU.
I KNOW SOMETIMES IT'S HELPFUL TO HAVE A GUIDE THE FIRST TIME YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SO I JUST WANT TO EXTEND THAT OFFER. IF THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO, WE'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
COUNCIL MEMBER BAZALDUA. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
BUT DO WE HAVE ANY METRIC OF RESPONSE TIMES? WE DO NOT HAVE A METRIC OF RESPONSE TIMES. I'LL TELL YOU, I KNOW THAT THESE ARE SEPARATE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, BUT THEY'RE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES THAT WE HAVE TASKED WITH TRYING TO HELP BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENTLY UTILIZE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT RESOURCES SO THEY ARE
[00:15:05]
RESPONDING TO CRIMINAL INFRACTIONS. THE BIGGEST THING I HEAR FROM ANY OF MY RESIDENTS, NO MATTER WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THEM, IS HOW SOON THEY RESPOND TO THEIR CALLS.SO I SEE GOOD METRICS, BUT I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR US TO KNOW IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES AND EVEN BEING ABLE TO SEE AS GRANULAR AS YOU'VE GOTTEN, WHAT IS MY EXPECTATION AS A RESIDENT ON HOW QUICK I'M GOING TO HAVE SOMEONE RESPOND TO ME AT THESE PARKS OR IN THESE TRAILS.
WITH THAT SAID, I THINK THAT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS.
I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE CHAIN OF COMMAND THAT THESE DATA POINTS GO THROUGH BEFORE THEY'RE ACTUALLY MADE FRONT FACING. BUT WHAT WE OFTEN SEE, ESPECIALLY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, IS THAT THIS DATA GETS MINED AND IT GETS CHERRY PICKED.
AND IT'S NOT USUALLY RAW DATA THAT WE WOULD BE GETTING FROM DATA ANALYTICS.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, COUNCILMEMBER. SO WE ARE PULLING DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE SYSTEM, AND IT'S BEING UPDATED EVERY SINGLE DAY. SO THERE IS NOT TIME, IF YOU WILL, OR A MOMENT IN THE WORKFLOW FOR THERE TO BE INTERVENTION.
IN TERMS OF HOW WE CALCULATED OR WHICH NUMBERS WERE DISPLAYED.
WE DID WORK WITH PARKS AND THEIR TEAMS TO DETERMINE KIND OF WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO THEM, WHAT THEY ANTICIPATED WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO THE BOARD AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, AND WHAT THEY WANTED TO SEE IN TERMS OF THEIR DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS SO THEY COULD DELIVER ON THAT PROSPECT OF SAFETY.
SO IN THIS INSTANCE, IT'S BEING UPDATED DAILY.
IT'S AN AUTOMATED FEED. IT'S COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE SYSTEM.
WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT. EXCUSE ME, DOCTOR ANDERCHECK, DO YOU MIND TALKING RIGHT INTO THE MIC? OKAY. SO IN TERMS OF RESPONSE TIME, WE'RE WORKING IN A PHASE TWO BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN IN A PARK THAT ESCALATE OR WOULD BE A MAJOR INCIDENT. AND WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
SO THAT'S ALL PART OF THE NEXT THING. WE STARTED HERE IN THIS ROLLED INTO SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER.
I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THE MUCH BIGGER AND I'D LIKE IT TO BE AS RAW AND TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE.
BECAUSE OF EXACTLY WHAT I'VE MENTIONED. YOU MENTIONED HEARING FROM PARK STAFF AND PARK BOARD WHAT COMMUNITY INPUT WAS GIVEN TO THE BUILDING OF THIS AND THE PRIORITIZATION OF THE METRICS THAT ARE UTILIZED FOR THIS DASHBOARD.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, COUNCIL MEMBER.
SO EVERY PARK THAT A PARK MARSHAL ENGAGES WITH, THEY E-LOG IT INTO A SYSTEM.
AND NOW WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO AUTOMATE IT. AS IT RELATES TO THIS PROCESS OF ROLLING OUT THE DASHBOARD, WE TOOK IT THROUGH OUR VARIOUS AD-HOC COMMITTEES WITH PARK BOARD PRIOR TO ROLLING IT OUT TO THIS PHASE.
WE DO KNOW THAT WE HAVE COMMUNITY INPUT SURVEYS FROM DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARK BOARDS THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT AS WELL AS WE DO PART OF THAT BIGGER PROJECT, I'D LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO GET MY RESIDENTS TO BUY IN.
SO I'D LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM RESIDENTS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE FULL ROLLOUT IS INCLUSIVE OF WHAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE BUILT A CONSENSUS ON THE PRIORITIES BEING, AND NOT JUST THOSE THAT ARE SITTING IN APPOINTED SEATS.
AND ONE LAST POINT AS A CONTINUOUS FOLLOW UP.
AFTER WE RECEIVE FEEDBACK, ONE OF THE KEY THINGS IN OUR NEXT STEPS IS TO CONTINUE TO GAIN INSIGHT FROM OUR PARK BOARD SAFETY AD-HOC COMMITTEE AFTER WE RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM THIS PTE COMMITTEE AS WELL.
THANK YOU. AND I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS 90% THAT WERE COMPLIANT, RIGHT? THAT'S A GREAT METRIC TO HAVE. IT'S ALSO ONE THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE US BE ABLE TO DIG FURTHER INTO BECAUSE WITH THOSE TYPE OF RESULTS,
[00:20:03]
I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULDN'T SEE SIMILAR OUTSIDE OF OUR PARK SYSTEMS, BECAUSE THEY'RE CLEARLY DOING SOMETHING RIGHT TO DIVERT THE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR AND PUNITIVE MEASURES ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES. THAT'S NOT HOW WE OPERATE OUTSIDE OF OUR PARK SYSTEMS. IT'S STILL WITHIN OUR CITY'S DISTRICT. IT'S STILL WITHIN THE STATE STATUTES THAT WE'RE ENFORCING. SO THERE'S NO REASON WHY WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE SOME SORT OF UTILIZATION OF METHODS THAT ARE BEING USED IN OUR PARK SYSTEM WITH THESE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. COUNCIL MEMBER BLACKMON.
THANK YOU. SO MY QUESTION AROUND THIS IS, HOW DOES THIS DATA INTEGRATE WITH OUR GENERAL REPORTING THAT WE GET FROM DPD? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AT WHITE ROCK LAKE WE HAVE BURGLARY OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
WE HAVE SOME SOME TRESPASSING. SO HOW DOES THIS INFORMATION GET PUT INTO THAT, SO THAT WAY WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE DISTRICT IS. AND OR IS IT JUST SEGMENTED OUT? I'M GOING TO NEED SOMEBODY FROM EITHER THE MARSHALS OR THE RANGERS TO RESPOND TO THAT.
OR A BODY FOUND. I MEAN, I'M BEING REALISTIC.
UNDERSTOOD. YEAH. AND BECAUSE I'VE KIND OF GOT A WEIRD.
AND I'M SURE YOU HAVE FAIR. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAIR PARK PLAYS INTO THIS, AND OUR ZOO'S LIKE.
SO I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. IS IT THE WHOLE PARK ECOSYSTEM, CERTAIN PARK ECOSYSTEM, CERTAIN THINGS GET PUT HERE, SOME PARK THINGS GO THERE.
SO THAT WAY PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND IS THERE THE GENERAL SAFETY AROUND PARKS? SO CURRENTLY. YOU CAN GET BACK TO ME.
OKAY, BECAUSE I MEAN, I HEAR PEOPLE'S CARS GETTING BROKEN IN ALL THE TIME AT WHITE ROCK LAKE.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES WE FIND THINGS, FIND INDIVIDUALS.
SO I JUST WANT TO HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE THAT DATA GOES SO WE CAN CAPTURE IT.
THE SECOND THING IS, DO MARSHALS. BECAUSE OUR PARKS CLOSE AT 11, RIGHT? OR IS IT SUNDOWN? AND IS THAT DATA INTEGRATED WHERE? SO IF YOU'RE IN THE PARK AFTER 11 P.M., ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENFORCE A CURFEW VIOLATIONS.
HOWEVER, OUR PARK MARSHAL´S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY ARE TO PATROL OUR PARKS.
AND SO THEY ARE WORKING AFTER 11? YES, MA'AM.
THAT IS. SO AGAIN, WHERE DOES THAT DATA GO? IS IT GO INTO THIS ONE OR DOES IT GO TO DPD DATA.
SO. OR DOES IT DEPEND ON WHO DOES THE CITATION? IN OTHER WORDS, I THINK WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW, AND, DO YOU KNOW, WHAT I'M GETTING? IS THAT WE CAN'T HAVE SEGMENTED DATA FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE REALITY OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR PARKS.
THEY NEED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF MARRIAGE. I'M NOT SAYING OVERLAP OR EXISTENCE, BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT IF IT RISES TO THIS, THEN IT GOES. IT'S IN BOTH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT JUST TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE ACCOUNT FOR THE INFRACTIONS AND WHERE IT'S ACCOUNTED FOR. ABSOLUTELY. IT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP. SO WE HAVE. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AFTER 11 P.M.
AND A RANGER OR A MARSHAL RESPONDS TO IT, IT IS PRESENT IN THIS DATA.
IN YOUR DATA, THAT IS? YES, RIGHT HERE IN THIS DASHBOARD.
YES, MA'AM. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE OTHER PIECE THAT WILL HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF TOO IS THAT WE DON'T WANT TO LIKE SOMETHING. RIGHT. AND SO WE WILL, IF YOU'LL GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK TO YOU.
A LOT OF THIS, I THINK IS REALLY INTENDED TO BE IN OUR PHASE TWO TO SORT THROUGH THIS, BUT THIS REALLY STARTED AS A, HOW DO WE AUTOMATE THIS THING THAT WE'RE ONLY GIVING OUT ONCE A QUARTER? HOW DO WE GIVE IT OUT DAILY? HOW DO WE OPTIMIZE KIND OF MANAGEMENT OF WHAT'S CURRENTLY HAPPENING THROUGH THE RANGERS AND THE MARSHALS.
AND THIS KIND OF SECOND QUESTION, WHICH CAME UP AND IS A REALLY IMPORTANT ONE, HOW DOES THIS INTEGRATE WITH THE REST OF KIND OF THE SAFETY ECOSYSTEM IN THE CITY, IS REALLY A PIECE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON FOR PHASE TWO.
BUT IT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT, AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP. AND IT COULD BE ONLY IN THIS REPORT.
AND IF YOU WANT PARKS IT'S HERE. BUT CONSISTENCY IN, WE DON'T WANT TO DOUBLE ACCOUNT.
[00:25:02]
AND THAT WAY EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHERE THOSE INFRACTIONS ARE BEING ACCOUNTED FOR.AND THAT'S JUST MY THING. BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, [INAUDIBLE], WE GET PEOPLE IN THE PARK DRIVING, KIDS, ADULTS OR WHATEVER, AND SOMETIMES DPD IS CALLED.
SO WHERE IS THAT GOING? AND THEN SOMETIMES IT'S THE RANGERS AND WITH THE E-BIKES DURING THE DAY.
AND WHERE DOES THAT GO. AND SO JUST TO UNDERSTAND A CONSISTENT.
THERE IS A CRIME ANALYTICS DASHBOARD THAT IS OUR KIND OF AUTHORITATIVE PUBLIC FACING SOURCE THAT REPORTS THINGS JUST AS WE REPORT IT TO THROUGH [INAUDIBLE] TO THE FBI THAT IS ON THE WEBSITE. AND THAT IS ALSO UPDATED DAILY AND THAT IS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE SYSTEM.
SO ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE CITY THAT RISES TO THAT LEVEL SHOULD BE THERE.
OKAY. AND NO MATTER WHERE IT HAPPENS. NO MATTER WHERE IT HAPPENS, IT SHOULD BE THERE.
OKAY. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBER BLAIR. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
IN YOUR PRESENTATION, YOU SAID THAT THERE WAS 4083 CITATIONS, AND THE ONLY THING YOU CAN GIVE CITATIONS ON IS PARKING ON UNAPPROVED SURFACES.
AM I CORRECT? THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. SO PARK RANGERS CAN ONLY GIVE CITATIONS FOR PARKING ON UNAPPROVED SURFACES. HOWEVER, THE DALLAS MARSHALS CAN GIVE CITATIONS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT RANGERS ONLY DO ON UNAPPROVED.
MARSHALS, EVERYTHING ELSE. THEY BOTH WORK TO PATROL THE PARKS AND TRAILS.
SO BETWEEN THE TWO, IT WOULD TAKE THE TWO OF THEM TO GET A TOTAL PICTURE OF ALL THE INFRACTIONS THAT HAPPEN IN PARKS AND TRAILS? IS THAT WHAT I'M HEARING? IF I'M HEARING YOU CORRECTLY, WERE YOU REFERRING TO THE 4083 NUMBER OF INFRACTIONS? OKAY. CITATIONS. I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE. NOW GO BACK TO THE FIRST SLIDE.
YEAH. IT'S THE. YOU HAVE 35,020 AND THEN YOU HAVE 4083.
AND I WROTE DOWN THE NUMBER OF CITATIONS THAT.
THAT REPRESENTS THE NUMBER OF CITATIONS THAT WE´RE GIVEN.
I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES UP THAT 4083.
WHAT TYPE OF CITATIONS THEY ARE, AND WHO IS THE ONE GIVING OUT THOSE CITATIONS? SO AN INFRACTION ON THIS STAGE, WHERE IT'S ON THE PARK RANGER PAGE, IT MAY NOT BE A CITATION.
SO THAT'S A PARK INFRACTION. HOWEVER, THAT KIND OF ROLLS INTO THE COMPLIANCE RATE.
SO INFRACTIONS OR CITATIONS OR, WHILE THEY CAN WORK IN THE SAME, BUT FOR THE MARSHAL, FOR THE RANGERS, THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR INFRACTIONS, THE NUMBER INFRACTIONS THEY'RE ENGAGING WITH.
OKAY, SO I NEED TO CORRECT MY NOTES TO SAY INFRACTION AND NOT CITATION.
AND SO THE PARK RANGERS ONLY GIVE CITATION. WELL, I THOUGHT I HEARD THAT SOMEONE ONLY GIVES CITATIONS FOR UNAPPROVED SERVICES.
AND WHO IS THE ONE WHO GIVES THE CITATIONS FOR UNAPPROVED SERVICES? PARK RANGERS. I'M SORRY IF I'M BEING VERY. AND THE MARSHALS GIVE IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. SO THIS 4083, DOES IT INCLUDE BOTH PARK RANGERS AND MARSHALS, OR IS IT JUST ONE OF THEM? SO THE 4083 ONLY INCLUDES PARK RANGERS FOR THE INFRACTIONS.
AND SO THAT MEANS THOSE ARE PARKING ON UNAPPROVED SURFACES.
IT COULD BE A MULTITUDE OF THINGS. YES, MA'AM.
THEN WHAT IS THE PROCESS? I'M GOING TO MOVE. WHEN AFTER, YOU KNOW, YOU SEE PEOPLE CONSUMING ALCOHOL, DOING OTHER THINGS. SO WHAT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS CURRENTLY USED TO GET THE APPROPRIATE PERSON TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE THERE WHO IS CONSUMING ALCOHOL OR SOMETHING MORE INTENSIVE
[00:30:06]
IN OUR PARKS AND TRAILS? GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS JEREMY MCMAHON.I OVERSEE OUR RANGERS MARSHALS PROGRAM. SO IT'S GOING TO DEPEND IF IT'S A RANGER OR MARSHAL.
IF IT'S A RANGER, A RANGER WILL OF COURSE ENCOUNTER.
IT'LL BE AN INFRACTION. THEREFORE, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION, IF THE FOLKS COMPLY AND LEAVE THE PARK BECAUSE THEY'RE CONSUMING OR POSSESSING ALCOHOL, THEN THAT'LL BE THE RANGER SIDE. IF THE RANGER SEES THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE EXCESSIVE, THEY CALL THE MARSHALS OR CALL DPD. OF COURSE, DPD STATS DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE IT.
THERE'S THEIR STATS WON'T BE IN HERE. BUT IF A MARSHAL GOES TO THIS, THEN THEIR STAT WILL BE.
SO THE MARSHAL WILL RESPOND TO THE WHATEVER LOCATION IS THE RANGER CALLS THEM.
THE MARSHALS THEN ADDRESS IT. USUALLY THAT ENDS UP BEING A CITATION OR FURTHER AN ARREST, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION, BECAUSE THE MARSHALS ENCOUNTERED THE CITATION, THE FOLKS DRINKING ALCOHOL OR EVEN POSSESSING ALCOHOL.
SO AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF. I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, BUT.
YEAH, IT DOES. BUT IT ALSO TELLS ME THERE ARE MULTIPLE HANDS THAT CAN HANDLE ANY TYPE OF INFRACTION IN THE PARKS. AND SO WE MAY HAVE DATA THAT IS SAYING IT'S BEING MANAGED BY MULTIPLE LAW ENFORCEMENT ENTITIES WITHIN THE CITY. SO MY QUESTION WOULD THEN BE, HOW DO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON, WHO IS DOING IT, WHERE IT'S BEING DONE, AND WHO ANSWERS THAT CALL, AND SO THAT WE GET A TRUE PICTURE OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING. AND THEN IS THAT 91% ACTUALLY A GOOD NUMBER IF WE DON'T KNOW WHO, IF THESE ANALYTICS DO NOT ENCOMPASS EVERYTHING.
OKAY. GOOD MORNING. RENEE JOHNSON, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF DALLAS PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT.
I'D LIKE TO ADD IN REGARD TO, SAY, OUR PHILOSOPHY IN THE PARK DEPARTMENT.
OUR GOAL, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN BUILDING THIS SAFETY PROGRAM FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
AND SO OUR GOAL IN THE PARK DEPARTMENT IS, IS NOT TO ENSURE THAT EVERYBODY GETS A, YOU KNOW, A TICKET OR A CITATION. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A LAYERED SYSTEM.
AND SO OUR LAYERED SYSTEM, HAVING THE RANGERS DO ENGAGEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING WHO'S OUT IN THE PARKS AND GETTING TO KNOW THOSE PEOPLE IN THE PARKS, THAT'S A LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT THAT WE WANT TO SEE IN THE PARK DEPARTMENT.
AND SO, FOR INSTANCE, IF WE KNOW THERE ARE PARTICULAR LOCATIONS, OF COURSE, AND THIS PROCESS IS GOING TO REALLY HELP US, REALLY HELP US WITH OUR TRENDS AND IDENTIFYING THOSE QUICKLY AND SWIFTLY, WHEREAS WE WERE IN A SYSTEM THAT WAS NOT AUTOMATED.
BUT THE PARK DEPARTMENT, WE WEREN'T EVEN IN THE POSITION TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, FROM OUR DIRECTOR, WE ALWAYS WANT TO COME TO YOU ALL AND SAY, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET YOUR FEEDBACK AS WE MOVE THIS SYSTEM AND CREATE THESE LAYERS OF SUPPORT.
AND SO WE HEAR YOU. EXACTLY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RANGERS HAVE THE ENGAGEMENT, RIGHT? THAT'S OUR GOAL. TO JUST TALK TO OUR PARK USERS.
WE DON'T WANT IT TO BECOME, YOU KNOW, VERY COMBATIVE AND THAT KIND OF THING. SO OUR PARK RANGERS, ARE THOSE FRONT FACING REALLY CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVOCATES OF TRYING TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO USE THE PARK IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY.
RIGHT? NOW, WE LAYERED. AND SO FOR NOW, WE DO HAVE THE MARSHALS THAT COME IN WHEN WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, CHRONIC ISSUES AND REALLY HELP US WITH THOSE PARTICULAR ISSUES.
SO NOW THAT WE CAN GET THIS INFORMATION AND KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE RANGERS ARE BECAUSE OF THESE TWO LAYERS, THERE'S ONE RANGER LAYER AND THEN THERE'S ONE MARSHAL LAYER.
SO NOW WE HAVE BOTH THAT DATA, WHEREAS WE DID NOT HAVE THAT, YOU KNOW, IN THE MOMENT.
NOW IT'S GOING TO BE EASIER FOR US TO PARTICIPATE WITH ALL THESE OTHER DASHBOARDS.
AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHERE WE WERE.
WE'RE HEARING WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY TODAY, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK. WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE PARK BOARD. WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO OUR AD-HOC COMMITTEE, BECAUSE WE HEARD THAT YOU SAID THAT FOR SURE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOME INCLUSIVENESS AS IT RELATES TO THE COMMUNITY.
[00:35:03]
AND SO WE WILL TAKE NOTE OF ALL THESE OTHER OPERATIONS THAT WE NEED TO BUILD WITHIN AND BUILD ON.BUT WE HEAR YOU AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE.
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PROCESS THAT NOW WE'RE CREATING IN THAT PLAN.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I THINK MY LAST QUESTION IS, YOU SAID THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON PHASE TWO OF COMPILING AND INTEGRATION OF THESE METRICS? WHEN WILL WE HAVE THEM? SO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. SO LET ME FIRST SAY THAT WE'RE HOPEFUL TO HAVE CERTAIN DELIVERABLES HERE, IN THE SPRING IS OUR TARGET. WE'RE WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANOTHER PROGRAM, THE BLOOMBERG CITY DATA ALLIANCE THAT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT UP AT COUNCIL. I JUST WANTED TO SAY TWO THINGS.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THAT 90%.
BECAUSE THAT 90%, A LOT OF THIS IS EDUCATION.
AND IF WE LOOK AT OTHER ENTITIES, LIKE CODE, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY ALSO HAVE A VERY HIGH VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE RATE WHEN THEY INTERACT WITH RESIDENTS AND SAY, DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS FENCE CAN'T BE IN THIS CONDITION OR THESE WEEDS NEED TO BE TENDED TO? SO I THINK THAT EDUCATION LAYER IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND THE RANGERS ARE VERY EFFECTIVE AT THAT.
SO I WANTED TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THAT NUMBER, BECAUSE IT, REALLY, I THINK, REPRESENTS THAT ONE ON ONE EDUCATION AND OUTREACH THAT THE RANGERS ARE DOING TO THE COMMUNITY. AND WE HOPE TO HAVE PHASE TWO HERE IN THE SPRING.
AND WE'LL BE DOING A LOT OF THINGS REGARDING SAFETY AND PARKS, AND I WAS ABLE TO AT LEAST TENTATIVELY CONFIRM THAT, WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS IN A PARK THAT WE NEED TO CALL 911 FOR THAT, THAT DOES TEND TO MOVE FROM THE RANGERS AND THE MARSHALS TO DPD, AND THAT THAT'S WHERE WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR THAT DATA. SO I JUST WANTED TO.
THIS PHASE TWO IS IMPORTANT. THESE QUESTIONS SHOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS AND WE'RE EAGER TO WORK ON IT.
THANK YOU AGAIN. I'M THROUGH. LET ME JUST CLARIFY ONE THING ON A INFRACTION.
IS THERE A PAPER TRAIL FOR THAT? LET ME SAY THIS.
DOES THE RESIDENT RECEIVE ANYTHING THAT SAYS THIS WAS A WARNING OR THIS IS JUST A CONVERSATION WITH A RESIDENT? THIS IS JUST WE WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE YOUR DOG NEEDS TO BE ON A LEASH.
WE WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE ALCOHOL IN THE PARK.
IS IT JUST THE CONVERSATION, BUT THEN THE PARK RANGER MAKES A NOTE OF THAT INTERACTION? OR IS THERE SOME TYPE OF A WARNING THAT'S GIVEN TO THE RESIDENT? THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. IT IS JUST A CONVERSATION AS IT RELATES TO EVEN OUR POSTED PARK RULES THAT ARE IN ALL OUR PARKS AS A CONVERSATION.
HOWEVER, IF THEY CONTINUE TO SEE THE SAME INDIVIDUAL REPEATING, THEN THEY WILL CONTACT THE DALLAS MARSHAL'S OFFICE FOR SOME EXTRA ASSISTANCE. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT QUESTION POPPED IN MY HEAD WHEN WE WERE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.
CHAIR RIDLEY. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. WHAT WAS THE GENESIS FOR THIS DASHBOARD? THANK YOU. SO THE GENESIS WAS TO ALLOW US TO AUTOMATE OUR PROCESSES SO THAT WE COULD LOOK AT OUR DATA AND LOOK AT TRENDS.
SO BY US BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND ANALYZE TRENDS, WE CAN THEN BEGIN TO PRIORITIZE WHERE RESOURCES ARE AND ALSO DEVELOP PROACTIVE STRATEGIES TO BEGIN IN OUR HIGH TRENDING AREAS.
SO THE ANTICIPATED AUDIENCE FOR THIS DASHBOARD IS PARK DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL? YES. SO CURRENTLY AS IT SITS RIGHT NOW, IT IS AN INTERNAL DASHBOARD FOR A PARK DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL AND INCLUDING OUR PARK BOARD.
BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO, AMONGST CITY RESIDENTS, WOULD REFER TO THIS DASHBOARD.
I DON'T SEE ANY INFORMATION IN IT THAT WOULD CAUSE PEOPLE TO CHANGE OR REGULATE THEIR BEHAVIOR.
IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF PARK VISITS BY THE RANGERS, NUMBER OF INFRACTIONS, VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I SEE OUR CONSTITUENTS FINDING VERY VALUABLE.
AND WE HAVE DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF DASHBOARDS NOW WITH THE CITY.
SO YOU'RE SAYING IT'S JUST FOR INTERNAL STAFF PURPOSES? AND I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT EXACTLY THEY'RE GOING TO USE WITH THIS.
USE THE DAILY UPDATED INFORMATION FOR THAT. THEY COULDN'T USE THE QUARTERLY STATISTICS.
[00:40:04]
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, COUNCILMEMBER RIDLEY. SO IT IS INTENDED TO GO PUBLIC.IT'S ALSO INTENDED FOR THE PARK BOARD AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC.
THERE ARE ALSO MANY GROUPS, PARK BOARD GROUPS, ETC.
IT IS NOT JUST ANOTHER DASHBOARD. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT IS HAPPENING IS WHAT'S HAPPENING BEHIND THE DASHBOARD, IN THE AUTOMATION AND THE TIME SAVINGS. MOST OF THE DASHBOARDS THAT WE DO, THE DASHBOARD IS JUST A MEDIUM.
IT'S LIKE A POWERPOINT OR A WORD DOCUMENT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO PRESENT INFORMATION, AND WHERE THE REAL MAGIC IS, IS EITHER IN THE AUTOMATION OR THE ALGORITHMS THAT ARE HAPPENING PRIOR TO THE DASHBOARD, OR THE USABLE INSIGHTS THAT PEOPLE ARE USING AFTER THEY HAVE THAT INFORMATION FROM THE DASHBOARD.
SO WHAT DID WE USE THE QUARTERLY REPORTS FOR? I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TURN THAT OVER TO PARKS.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. THE QUARTERLY REPORTS THAT.
WHAT WE WERE DOING WITH THOSE QUARTERLY REPORTS? FIRST OF ALL, WE DO LOOK AT THE TRENDS EVEN IN THOSE QUARTERLY REPORTS.
THE PARK BOARD IS VERY IN TUNED AS TO THEIR PARTICULAR PARKS, AND THEY WANT TO KNOW, ARE THEY STILL HAVING OFF LEASH PROBLEMS? ARE THEY HAVING ANY CHRONIC ALCOHOL ISSUES IN THOSE PARKS? SO NOW, WHAT THIS DASHBOARD ALLOWS US TO DO IS TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION EVERY DAY.
SO WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS THAT THIS DASHBOARD IS ONLY AVAILABLE INTERNALLY.
BUT AS I SAID EARLIER, WE WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE PARK BOARD AND SPEAKING WITH OUR AD-HOC COMMITTEES BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE GOT HERE TODAY AS TO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE. HOW THIS IS GOING TO ASSIST US? THIS INFORMATION CAN BE FILTERED. SO THAT MEANS YOU CAN BRING UP YOUR PARTICULAR DISTRICT AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING AS FAR AS THE TYPE OF PATROL THAT YOU HAVE, WHERE THE INFRACTIONS ARE, WHERE THE CITATIONS ARE.
WHEREAS WE REALLY WERE NOT ABLE TO GIVE YOU A SNAPSHOT OF THAT.
SO NOW THE PARK BOARD MEMBERS WILL HAVE THAT SNAPSHOT.
YOU REFERRED TO SHOWING TRENDS. DAILY UPDATES DON'T SHOW TRENDS.
QUARTERLY INFORMATION COMPARED TO PREVIOUS QUARTERS CAN SHOW TRENDS.
AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT VALUE IT IS TO KNOW, ON TUESDAY, WE HAD THIS MANY MILES OF TRAIL THAT WAS PATROLLED VERSUS WEDNESDAY, AND THAT'S APPARENTLY WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS, TO BE ABLE TO UPDATE IT ON A DAILY BASIS. AND IT JUST SEEMS TOO GRANULAR TO ME. BUT YOU'VE DONE IT.
YOU'VE NO DOUBT SPENT HUNDREDS OF HOURS PREPARING THIS.
I HOPE THAT THE PARK BOARD FINDS THIS VALUABLE.
I DON'T FIND IT PARTICULARLY VALUABLE, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT MANY OF MY CONSTITUENTS WILL.
YOU SAY THAT IT IS SUBJECT TO INQUIRIES BY DISTRICT AND BY PARK, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. AND WITH RESPECT TO THE NEXT PAGE FOR THE MARSHALS, DOES THIS INCLUDE ALL MARSHAL ENCOUNTERS? BECAUSE MARSHALS HAVE AUTHORITY BEYOND JUST CITY PARKS.
THEY PATROL ALL CITY FACILITIES. ISN'T THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. HOWEVER, THIS GROUP OF MARSHALS ARE THE MARSHALS THAT ARE RELEGATED TO PARKS ONLY.
OH, OKAY. SO THIS DASHBOARD WILL ONLY PORTRAY ENCOUNTERS BY MARSHALS IN CITY PARKS? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. WHY NOT INCLUDE ALL CITY FACILITIES? SO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS A MARSHAL UNIT THAT WE ACTUALLY FUND FOR PARK MARSHALS.
SO THOSE MARSHALS ARE DEDICATED TO PARKS ONLY, THE ONES THAT ARE FUNDED THROUGHOUT OUR BUDGET.
OKAY. ARE THERE ANY PLANS TO CREATE ANOTHER DASHBOARD FOR MARSHALLS DEPLOYMENT IN OTHER FACILITIES? SO OUR INTERIM CHIEF MARSHALL IS HERE AND HE COULD PROBABLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
OKAY. DEDICATED TO THE MARSHALLS ONLY, IN TERMS OF MARSHALLS IN OTHER FACILITIES.
[00:45:18]
GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'M CLIFTON KNIGHT, I'M THE INTERIM CITY MARSHAL.I DON'T KNOW IF. WELL, I'M SURE IT'S NOT BROKEN DOWN.
WE CAN GET THAT TO YOU. SO YOU HAVE A SEPARATE DASHBOARD ALREADY THAT ENCOMPASSES ALL OF YOUR FORCES, PARK AND NON PARK? SO YEAH. IT'S A DASHBOARD THAT CAPTURES THAT.
SO THEY´RE CAPTIONING IN ONE WAY AND I'M CAPTIONING IN ANOTHER DASHBOARD AS A WHOLE.
SO AS FOR CITATIONS OF, YOU'LL SEE THAT SO MANY CITATIONS ARE WRITTEN IN THE PARKS.
BUT I'M ALSO CAPTIONING AS A WHOLE. FOR INSTANCE, WE HAD FOR THE MONTH OF JULY, IT WAS 135 CITATIONS THAT THE PARK DEPUTIES WROTE, BUT AS A WHOLE FOR THE CITY OF DALLAS, THE CITY MARSHAL'S OFFICE WROTE 326 CITATIONS, BUT AGAIN, 135 OF THEM WERE WIN BY THE PARK DIVISION.
SO DO YOU SEE MUCH VALUE IN THIS BREAKDOWN OF THE MARSHALL'S PARK ACTIVITIES, SINCE YOU ALREADY HAVE THE TOTAL UNIVERSE IN YOUR EXISTING DASHBOARD? WELL, IT CAPTURES WHAT THEY ARE DOING. AND AGAIN, IT LETS US KNOW WHERE WE NEED TO DEPLOY MORE MARSHALS.
SO IT CAPTURES DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES. AGAIN, THE ACTIVITY THEY'RE PRESENTING EVERY DAY.
SO FOR INSTANCE, THE MARSHALS THAT ARE NOT IN THE PARK DIVISION, THEIR ACTIVITY IS GOING INTO ANOTHER SPREADSHEET, BASICALLY ANOTHER MATRIX THAT'S NOT AUTOMATIC.
AGAIN, THIS INFORMATION IS GOING INTO E-LOG. THAT BASICALLY IS CAPTURED BY THE PARK DIVISION.
SO, BUT MY OTHER DEPUTIES, THEY'LL TURN IT IN AND IT IT'S TWO SEPARATE MATRIX.
BUT AT THE END OF THE MONTH I TAKE SOME OF THESE NUMBERS AND I COMPILE THEM AND THEY'RE COMPILED, SUCH AS IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY MEMO TO THE COUNCIL THAT LETS YOU KNOW BASICALLY HOW MANY VISITS THEY HAVE.
BUT THIS IS TRACKING MORE IN DEPTH OF WHAT THOSE MARSHALS ARE DOING.
SO YOU ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION THAT'S PROPOSED TO BE PORTRAYED IN THIS DASHBOARD.
AND THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE NON-PARK MARSHAL DIVISION? YES, THAT INFORMATION COMES IN A E-LOG THAT'S PRESENTED EVERY MORNING.
SO THE INFORMATION IS THERE. BUT IT WAS NOT GENERATED AS WHAT WE'VE SEEN TODAY.
TODAY WE'VE SEEN IT BEING GENERATED. IT'S UPDATED DAILY.
IF I WANTED TO DO THAT BEFORE, I HAD TO TAKE THESE NUMBERS AND I WOULD HAVE TO SET THEM ASIDE AND TAKE MONTH BY MONTH TO CAPTURE THEM, I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT MATRIX AND CAPTURE AUGUST, CAPTURE SEPTEMBER, THEN CAPTURE OCTOBER, AND THEN COMBINE THEM INTO ONE. BUT NOW I CAN SEE A RUNNING NUMBER FOR THE YEAR IN THIS NEW PROCESS.
WELL, WILL YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY WITH THIS DASHBOARD TO COMPARE MONTH TO MONTH, OR IS IT JUST TOTAL YEAR TO DATE STATISTICS? YES, IT'S BROKEN DOWN AND WE CAN NOW SEE MONTH TO MONTH.
OR WE CAN GO AS A WHOLE AS WHAT WE ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW.
WE CAN SEE A RUNNING TOTAL FOR THE YEAR. OKAY.
THANK YOU. CHAIR WEST, NO QUESTIONS? CHAIR JOHNSON, ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.
[00:50:01]
AND WE'LL KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS, AND WE'LL FIND OUT A DIFFERENT WAY FOR US.FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE OLDER EYES. WE'LL WORK ON THAT, MA'AM.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS A BRIEFING MEMO FROM OEQS ON THE HUD COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING GRANT AT HENSLEY FIELD.
ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER CEDILLO IS OUR STAFF PERSON.
DID YOU ALL GET A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THIS? DO YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS? BASICALLY, WE NOW HAVE SOME FUNDING THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE.
IT'S BEEN DELAYED. LIZ, DO YOU MIND IF WE ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS? ABSOLUTELY, CHAIR. LIZ CEDILLO-PEREIRA WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE ASKING INTERIM DIRECTOR PAUL WHITE AND OEQS, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER LORIE WILSON TO COME.
THIS HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT IN THE MAKING FOR SOME TIME.
IT WAS DELAYED BY SOME ISSUES RELATED TO LEGALITIES, BUT WE WERE VERY PLEASED TO RECEIVE THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO BE RECEIVING $1 MILLION TO ASSIST US WITH REMEDIATION ISSUES, AND WE'LL LET, OR ASK DIRECTOR WHITE TO EXPLAIN MORE. INTERIM DIRECTOR WHITE, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
OKAY. WE'LL JUST. DO YOU ALL HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO PRESENT FIRST, OR WOULD YOU LIKE US JUST TO LAUNCH IN WITH QUESTIONS? OR YOU COULD JUST GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. YES. COULD YOU REFRESH US ON WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS HENSLEY FIELDS SHORELINE MODIFICATION PROJECT IS? LIZ MENTIONED REMEDIATION, WHICH IMPLIES ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
AND YET THE MEMO SAYS THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE DISPUTE ABOUT PFAS WITH THE NAVY.
SO THIS FOCUS IS REALLY RELATED TO THE MASTER PLANNING, THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND SO THE NAVY IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THEIR PORTION WITH PFAS.
BUT THIS IS ABOUT THE REDEVELOPMENT WHERE WE ARE PROACTIVELY WANTING TO RESTORE A CREEK CHANNEL.
THIS IS AN AREA THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE LESS CONTAMINATION THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY.
BUT SINCE WE ARE PROACTIVELY DOING IT AS PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT AND IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE CHOOSING TO DO, THAT'S THEN OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT IN THAT AREA.
I WOULD CONSIDER IT LIKE WHEN WE'RE DOING ANY OTHER TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT AND WE WANT TO CHARACTERIZE SOIL OR GROUNDWATER WE MAY ENCOUNTER PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE WANT TO PUT IN SOME ADDITIONAL SAMPLING POINTS, UNDERSTAND THE CONDITION OF THE SOIL THERE BEFORE ANY REDEVELOPMENT STARTS. SO WE ARE ABLE TO GET THIS FUNDING TO HELP US PAY FOR THAT, SINCE THAT'S US DOING IT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THIS GREAT AMENITY WITH A NEW CREEK AND USE THOSE SHORELINES THAT ARE THERE AT THE LAKE.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, THE TITLE SHORELINE MODIFICATION IS REALLY A MISNOMER.
THIS IS JUST ABOUT SOIL TESTING? WELL, IT'S THE NAME OF IT, BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT THE SHORELINE.
SO THE CREEK WOULD GO THROUGH AND THE SHORELINE IS THERE.
SO IT IS THE SOIL SAMPLING THERE ALSO. BUT IT'S A COMBINATION.
SO WHEN THIS WAS PRESENTED IT DOES JUST SAY SHORELINE MODIFICATION.
BUT IN THE SCOPE THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
SO IT'S THE SOIL SAMPLING PRIOR TO DO THAT ASSESSMENT.
BUT IT'S ALSO THEN IF SOMETHING'S IDENTIFIED THERE WOULD BE A PLAN TO REMOVE THAT.
SO THEN SOME OF THIS MONEY WOULD GO TOWARD SOME OF THE REMOVAL IF THERE IS IMPACTED SOIL OR SEDIMENT IDENTIFIED TO HELP REMOVE THAT PRIOR TO ANY OF THAT CONSTRUCTION ONCE THERE'S A MASTER DEVELOPER.
SO THIS ISN'T FUNDING TO RESTORE A SHORELINE THAT'S BEEN THE SUBJECT OF EROSION OR OTHER DAMAGE.
THIS IS JUST ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING. THAT'S CORRECT.
OH, OKAY. WELL, I SUBMIT THAT THE TITLE SHORELINE MODIFICATION IS MISLEADING.
OKAY. IT SHOULD BE SHORELINE SOIL TESTING, IF THAT'S WHAT THE SCOPE OF IT IS.
SO THAT WAS MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. CHAIR, MAY ALSO RESPOND? THANK YOU, CHAIR RIDLEY FOR THAT COMMENT. AND I DON'T KNOW, LAURIE, WOULD YOU DESCRIBE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS EFFORT,
[00:55:07]
BEING ABLE TO HELP US DEVELOP A REMEDIAL ACTION PLAN? RIGHT. SURE. SO WE WILL HIRE AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT THEN THAT WOULD HELP US DETERMINE A SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN.AND THEN THAT INFORMATION WILL HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND THEN WHAT WE NEED TO DO FOR THE NEXT STEPS.
SO WE'LL ANALYZE FOR ANY TYPE OF CONTAMINANTS THAT HAVE BEEN OUT AT HENSLEY FIELD AT ANY TIME.
AND THEN WE'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE. AND THERE'S A LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED.
THAT'S CORRECT. BUT NOT NECESSARILY CLARIFICATION.
YES, SIR. YES, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS? IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT. OKAY. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE IT. DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE, DIRECTOR WHITE? I THINK WE'RE FINE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE ARE JUST TO OUR FORECAST, IF EVERYBODY WOULD LOOK AT WHAT'S COMING IN NOVEMBER, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE, NEW LANGUAGE THERE.
SOME PROPOSED FEE STRUCTURES THAT ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU'VE SEEN, AS WELL AS WE'LL GET A BRIEFING ON FACILITIES AND REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT, WHICH IS CAP GOALS ONE AND TWO. AND STAY TUNED DECEMBER.
SO WE'VE GOT A BUSY FALL ALL ACROSS THE BOARD.
YES, CHAIR? WHAT IS THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE OTHER THAN A HISTORIC BRIDGE IN NEW YORK CITY? I HAVE A. YEAH. THAT HAS BEEN OFF SOLD. YES. THAT TITLE NEEDS SOME WORK, CHAIR.
AND I KNOW WE'LL WORK WITH PARKS TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DEFINED IN WITH THE APPROACH.
BUT WHAT IT IS, IS A PRIVATE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP OF A PARK THAT ALIGNS WITH THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
AND SO THAT'S KNOWN AS A BEST PRACTICE, THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK.
AND SO I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR PARKS THEMSELVES, BUT THEY'RE BRINGING IN THE REPRESENTATIVES TO SPEAK TO THIS BEST CASE SCENARIO OF BRINGING IN P3 TO OPERATIONS FOR PARKS. SO YOU'RE YOU'RE SAYING THAT THERE IS A BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK THAT WE'RE SEEKING TO EMULATE HERE? THAT'S CORRECT.
I DIDN'T GET TO GO TO THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE. I BELIEVE COUNCIL MEMBER BAZALDUA DID.
NO, I DID NOT. BUT I ACTUALLY LIVED THERE WHEN IT WAS ESTABLISHED.
SO I THINK THE MORE THAT WE OPEN OUR EYES TO AS MODELS OF WHAT WE CAN EMULATE WILL WILL GIVE US BEST PRACTICES AND THE OPPOSITE. SO I AM ACTUALLY VERY EXCITED FOR IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO ASK HIM SPECIFICALLY.
DIRECTOR JENKINS, YOU GOOD? YES. PLEASE COME UP.
YEAH, LET'S SHARE THAT WITH DOCTOR JENKINS. THE REVEREND DOCTOR JENKINS.
I JUST HAVE TO CHANNEL MY BEST COUNCIL MEMBER ARNOLD.
YOU NEED TO HIT YOUR BUTTON. YEAH, IF YOU HIT YOUR BUTTON.
JUST IF YOU CAN CONNECT FOR US. THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE PRESENTATION AND THE FAIR PARK PRESENTATION.
YES. I THINK I HEARD A LITTLE BIT THE BACK END OF THE CONVERSATION, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, WE'RE LOOKING AT BEST PRACTICES AND TRY TO BRING A LOT OF THOSE BEST PRACTICES TO OUR PARK SYSTEM.
AND THESE ARE PROVEN MODELS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHERE A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP, THEY WAS ABLE TO ACTIVATE THE PARK. IT USED TO BE JUST SOME PIERS THERE.
[01:00:06]
IT'S A 85 ACRE PARK. BUT THEY WAS ABLE TO HAVE SOME COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OUT OF THIS 85 ACRES, 5% OF IT. AND SO THEY BRING IN THEY HAVE A PARK, THEY HAVE SOCCER FIELDS, THEY HAVE TRAIL, THEY HAVE A HOTEL, AND THEY BRING IN $30 MILLION A YEAR.AND SO 15 MILLION IS THE O AND M FOR THE COST OF THE PARK AND 15 MILLION.
THEY'RE ABLE TO GO BACK IN THE PARK FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR THOSE TYPE OF MODELS FOR OUR PARK SYSTEM TO MAKE THEM SELF-SUSTAINABLE.
HEY, DIRECTOR JENKINS. AS A FOLLOW UP TO THAT, I JUST WAS GOING TO ASK.
I KNOW THAT THERE IS THIS GROUP THAT YOU GUYS HAVE CONTRACTED WITH THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING OUT TRYING TO FIND NAMING RIGHTS FOR SELL NAMING RIGHTS FOR PARKS AND FIND OTHER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO HELP US SUSTAIN OUR POOLS AND OTHER OTHER ASPECTS.
I WAS ASKING THE CHAIR EARLIER IF WE COULD GET THAT GROUP TO ACTUALLY COME UPDATE US ON THEIR EFFORTS AND WHAT THEIR PLAN IS, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THAT IN A WHILE. OKAY.
YES. I MEAN, WE ARE BECAUSE WE'RE IN CONVERSATION WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS.
YEAH. BUT AND I KNOW I MENTIONED AT THE LAST BRIEFING WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK WITH A MORE DETAILED BRIEFING ABOUT ALL THE EFFORTS, THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT, AND THE MORE OF THE STRATEGIC APPROACH WE'RE TAKING WITH ALL THOSE DIFFERENT GROUPS.
BUT IF YOU JUST WANT AN INDIVIDUAL JUST TO HEAR FROM SUPERLATIVE, WE CAN BRING THAT BY ITSELF.
I MEAN, IT COULD BE BOTH. OKAY. JUST SUPERLATIVES ACTUALLY BEEN CONTRACTED TO DO THIS WORK.
THAT'S WHY I WANT TO HEAR WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND JUST UNDERSTAND THEIR PLAN.
OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, COUNCIL MEMBER BLACKMON.
SO, BACK TO THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE. IS IT ONLY GOING TO BE ABOUT THAT PARTNERSHIP? BECAUSE I GUESS I'M TRYING TO THINK IS, COULD YOU NOT BRING 2 OR 3 AND MAKE IT STARTED BUILDING A MATRIX TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EVERY ONE OF THEM? ARE WE GOING TO GET A, YOU KNOW, LIKE ONE EVERY MONTH? YEAH. SO THAT'S. WHICH ONE? THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
SO THAT BRIDGE IS MORE. I MEAN, IT´S FOCUSED ON THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE MODEL, BUT IT TALKS ABOUT HOW WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH SOME TYPE OF SUSTAINABLE FINANCIAL MODEL. BUT YOU'RE ONLY GIVING US ONE EXAMPLE OF THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
THAT PARTICULAR ONE, BECAUSE THAT ONE IS. I GUESS I'M SAYING BUILD IT OUT.
YES. GIVE US A COUPLE BECAUSE THERE'S THE HIGH LINES THERE.
I GUESS WHAT PARK? BRYANT PARK IS THERE. THERE'S DIFFERENT MODELS.
OH YES. AND SO INSTEAD OF JUST GIVING US ONE, BRING US THREE AND PUT IT IN A MATRIX AND START BUILDING IT OUT OF WHICH ONES AS YOU GIVE US MORE BRIEFINGS ON IT. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'VE GOT THE SLOT.
DON'T JUST PUT ONE THING IN THERE. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
GIVE US A COUPLE. I KNOW Y'ALL WENT TO THE ROSE BOWL.
I KNOW IT'S NOT THE SAME. IT'S A A PROGRAM WITHIN THE PROGRAM.
BUT THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE DISCUSSED AS WELL PROBABLY, RIGHT? SO I'M JUST THINKING DON'T JUST GIVE US THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
YOU KNOW? AND SO I KNOW THAT THEY'RE OUTSIDE THE CITY, BUT I KNOW BRYANT PARK WAS WHEN.
SO I'M JUST SAYING DON'T JUST. FILL IT OUT. WE WILL, WE WILL.
YES. THANK YOU. WE'RE MAKING NOTES ON THINGS TO BRING TO YOUR COMMITTEE MEETING.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T GET INTO OTHER ASPECTS OF.
I KNOW THIS IS A LITTLE UNORTHODOX, BUT I THINK IT'S HOPEFULLY HELPFUL FOR SOME OF THE STAFF TO HEAR WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT, RIGHT? NO NO, NO. IT'S WE'RE JUST ELABORATING ON THE FORECAST.
I THINK IT'S FINE TO BE SOMEWHAT PIECEMEAL. I THINK THAT WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE LENGTH OF TIME NEEDED TO GO HOLISTICALLY, BUT I DO THINK THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE KIND OF A ROADMAP OF WHAT THE FORECAST LOOKS LIKE A FEW MONTHS IN ADVANCE.
AND I LOVE THE DIRECTION Y'ALL ARE MOVING. I THINK IT IS VERY POSITIVE FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR PARKS.
BUT I THINK FOR US TO REALLY UNDERSTAND Y'ALL'S METHOD TO THE MADNESS.
[01:05:06]
WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO SEE THAT KIND OF LAID OUT IN A ROADMAP SO THAT IT'S NOT TRYING TO YOU KNOW, REFERENCE BACK. OH YEAH, THAT WAS BROOKLYN BRIDGE PRESENTATION.THAT'S HOW THIS COULD BE. I THINK THAT IF WE ACTUALLY HAD IT CORRELATED SPECIFICALLY TO POTENTIAL IDEAS HERE, IF Y'ALL ARE LOOKING AT THE ROSE BOWL, FOR INSTANCE, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S ANY SECRET WHAT VENUE WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT FOR THAT TO BE THE MODEL WE'D LIKE TO SEE FOR THE COTTON BOWL, RIGHT? THAT'S REAL EASY CORRELATION. BUT THEN WHEN WE START LOOKING INTO THESE OTHER POTENTIALS IN MONETIZING THESE ASSETS, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT SOMETHING FOR OUR LGC TO BE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE EMULATED, MAYBE WE HAVE THAT SPECIFIED ON WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THESE BEST PRACTICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR.
SO THAT'S ALL I WOULD ADD TO THAT. I'M OKAY WITH US HAVING, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
YOU KNOW, 1 OR 2 OF THESE GROUPS PER MONTH SO THAT IT'S NOT COMPLETE OVERLOAD.
SO THAT'S ALL MY FEEDBACK. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, DIRECTOR JENKINS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TAKING ALL THIS FEEDBACK.
AS I SAID, WHEN WE STARTED THE MEETING, I THINK THE DIALOG BETWEEN COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF IN THESE COMMITTEES IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. IT'S THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF WHAT WE DO.
AND WHAT WE DO HERE CAN REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN WE GET TO COUNCIL, WHEN WE GET TO OTHER, OTHER LEVELS OF CONVERSATION. SO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US AS WE GIVE YOU A LOT OF FEEDBACK ON PARKS.
AND IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, I WILL GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN THIS MEETING AT 10:12.
THANK YOU.
