UH, BUT, UH, I FOUND A, A STRONGER CALLING WITH PARKS AND RECREATION.

OH, IT WAS DOWN THE STREET FOR ME.
UH, WE DON'T HAVE ANY ITEMS THAT ARE, THAT ARE REQUIRING, UH,
[7. STAFF REPORTS]
ANY ACTIONS.AND WE'LL START OFF, UH, WITH THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, MR. ADAM TRAIN.
IT'S WILD TO ME THAT I, THAT I'M THE THIRD NEWEST PERSON HERE AFTER BEING HERE A COUPLE MONTHS.
BUT, UM, ANYWAY, I'LL RUN THROUGH THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE HAD GOING ON THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.
UM, SO THE BUFFALO RUN PLAYGROUND OPENED, SO WE GOT A, A BRAND NEW PLAYGROUND OVER THERE.
UM, UH, WE'RE ALSO CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE BID SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE, FOR A NEW CONCRETE PATH AT RIDGEVIEW PARK.
UM, WE ARE ALSO CURRENTLY WORKING WITH ENGINEERING TO DETERMINE THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION FOR THE, FOR SOME EROSION REPAIRS, UM, AT, UH, AT SHADY GLEN, UM, FOR THE GOLF COURSE SOX REPAIR PROJECT THAT SHOULD BE GOING TO CITY COUNCIL ON THE 21ST, UH, TREL PARK.

HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? UH, COULD, COULD YOU ELABORATE WHAT, WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? FIRST TEE IS A PROGRAM FOR, FOR YOUTH, FOR YOUTH, FOR GOLF.
THEY RUN THEIR PROGRAMS IN HOUSE, NOT THROUGH THE OH, FIRST TEE.
THEY PLAY ON A LITTLE, THREE, THREE HOLE MINI COURSES SOMEWHERE.
THEY ACTUALLY EVEN HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT IT ON THE WEBSITE.
IF YOU'D LIKE, I COULD SEND YOU SOME INFORMATION.
I'LL, I'LL, I'LL LOOK ON THE WEBSITE.
MR. HAMILTON, BARRY, BARRY
ALRIGHT, WE HEAR OUR REPORT FROM OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, MS. STEWART.
WE'LL HAVE RECREATION REPORTS.
SHE TRYING TO GET ME TO GIVE ALL THE REPORTS.
YOU'RE DOING ALL SHE LAST TWO MONTHS, SHE DOES IT ALL.
UH, 'CAUSE OF MY SHORT TIME WITH THE CITY.
UH, BUT I DO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM MY FOURTH, UH, UH, 4TH OF JULY, UH, EVENT.
WE HAD 8,000 PEOPLE ATTEND THAT EVENT.
UH, WE SERVICE 200 KIDS FOR OUR SUMMER CAMP THIS YEAR.
UH, WE ALSO SERVICE, UH, 57 FOR OUR VOLLEYBALL CAMPS.
[00:10:01]
I COULD TRY TO ANSWER AS BEST AS I CAN?SO I WAS AT 4TH OF JULY AND IT WAS, BEST THINK IT WAS, WAS MORE THAN 8,000 WAS FANTASTIC.
AND, UM, MISSOURI CITY GREEN DID HELP WITH, UH, THE CAMP FOR THE KIDS.
SO, AND THAT WAS VERY WELL RUN.
I THOUGHT DANIELLE DID A WELL, A REALLY NICE JOB, DANIELLE NEY.
HAVE I HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE CAMP? UM, ONE OF THE COUNSELOR MEMBERS, CHARLES IN THE CAMPUS AS WELL, AND I WAS ABLE TO MEET HER AND SHE SAID GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE CAMP TOO.
SO I'M EXCITED KNOW WE HAD FIVE STATIONS THERE.
THAT WAS THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER SEEN.
IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY, HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR WOULD BE BETTER.
I WENT THERE, I WAS THERE AT THE HEAT OF THE DAY.
AND THEN TOO, YOU KNOW, IT WAS 8,000 PEOPLE, BUT EVERY PARKING LOT ON 2234 WAS PACKED WITH CARS.
OH, THAT DIDN'T EVEN COME TO THE YEAH.
THEY ALL FALL UP AND DOWN AND HUNTER PARK, THEY PARKED UP AND DOWN THE STREET.
I MEAN, YEAH, WE'RE USED TO IT.
WE KNOW IT'S GONNA HAPPEN LIKE THAT.
UM, SO LUCKILY, UH, WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM.
THEY COVERED MOST OF OUR, OUR INFORMATION.
UM, BUT DID JUST KIND OF WANNA SHARE WITH YOU GUYS SOME, UH, KIND OF FUTURE PLANNING STRATEGIC ELEMENTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW.
UM, ONE OF THEM BEING THAT WE HAVE JUST THIS WEEK APPLIED FOR THE TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE LOCAL PARKS GRANT, UM, FOR STA O PARK.
THIS IS THE GRANT THAT WE JUST RECENTLY RECEIVED FOR FREEDOM TREE PARK.
UM, FOR THAT ONE WE RECEIVED $750,000 TOWARDS THE PARK DEVELOPMENT, UM, FOR THE STAM O APPLICATION.
UM, WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL JANUARY OR FEBRUARY, BUT THERE IS ACTUALLY A POTENTIAL FOR $1.5 MILLION IF WE ARE AWARDED THAT GRANT.
UM, SO THAT'S PRETTY EXCITING, REALLY HOPING THEY'LL GIVE US THAT BACK TO BACK AWARD, UH, RECIPIENT.
UM, AND ONE OTHER PROJECT THAT WE'RE KIND OF A FUNDING PROJECT THAT WE ARE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, WE ALSO APPLIED FOR THE HOUSTON GALVESTON AREA COUNCIL GRANT.
UM, THEY DO TRANSPORTATION, UM, ROADWAY SAFETY TYPE OF FUNDING.
UM, SO WE APPLIED FOR A SECTION, NOT THE ENTIRE THING, BUT A SECTION OF THE HUNTERS GLEN JOGGING TRAIL.
UM, THAT'S THE PORTION BY PROGRESSIVE INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS TO TRY AND CONNECT HUNTERS, GLEN PARK, PROGRESSIVE HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS BEHIND IT WITHOUT HAVING TO BE ON THE STREET.
UM, SO WE MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST PHASE OF THAT.
WE WON'T KNOW FOR A LITTLE BIT.
UM, BUT THAT WOULD BE POTENTIALLY $260,000 WORTH OF FUNDING.
SO TRYING TO GET SOME ALTERNATIVE BUDGET RESOURCES IN HERE.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW.
WHAT'S THE STATUS ON THE FREEDOM TREE PARK? UH, FREEDOM TREE, WE'RE IN DESIGN PHASE RIGHT NOW.
UM, WE ARE WORKING ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK ADAM AND I MEET WITH OUR, UM, UH, ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING FIRM.
UM, WE HAVE SO FAR ALMOST NAILED DOWN THE NEW PLAZA.
AND THEN WE HAVE CONFIRMED THE CONCEPTUAL AND ABOUT 30% OF OUR CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.
UM, SO WE ARE, THAT WAS SCHEDULED TO BE A NINE MONTH DESIGN.
UM, WE DIDN'T START UNTIL ABOUT APRIL BECAUSE OF THE DELAYS WITH PHILLIPS 66 AND THE EASEMENT.
UM, SO WE'RE STILL DOING PRETTY WELL.
UM, WE DID, UH, THERE'S BEEN A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND I DON'T HAVE THE PICTURE WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
IT, EVERYTHING IS ON IN THE PARK IS STILL THE SAME.
UM, BUT IF YOU REMEMBER, THERE'S THE, UH, THE CENTERPIECE, UM, WITH THE SCULPTURE RIGHT THERE IN THE CENTER OR RIGHT THERE ACROSS FROM THE FREEDOM TREE WITH A CROSSWALK.
UM, SO THAT WILL JUST KIND OF ROTATE CLOCKWISE ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO BE, IF YOU THINK OF A CLOCK.
UM, SO THAT THE CROSSWALK DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH DRAINAGE ON, ON MISTY HOLLOW.
UM, THAT WAS ONE THING THAT WE RAN INTO.
AND IN ORDER TO, TO GO FURTHER WITH OUR DOLLAR, WE DON'T WANNA INTERFERE WITH DRAINAGE, UM, STREET DRAINAGE ESPECIALLY.
UM, SO IT WILL STILL BE IN THE SAME LOCATION.
UM, RIGHT NOW WE'RE KIND OF WORKING TOWARDS THOSE, THEIR WORK FINALIZING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.
WE'RE PICKING OUT THE FUN ASPECTS AND THE COLORS AND THE PLAYGROUNDS AND THE BENCHES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WE GET THE FUN JOB, THEY'LL LET US KNOW.
UM, WE'RE ALSO WORKING REALLY CLOSELY WITH OUR C I P TEAM ON THAT TO ENSURE THAT, UM, ON THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT SIDE, EVERYTHING COMES THROUGH HOW IT SHOULD, WHAT ARE WE DOING RELATED TO THE STATUTE.
UM, SO KIND OF, WE WERE IN A, IN A HOLDING GAME, UM, TO GET THE, SO IN ORDER TO ISSUE THAT CALL FOR ARTISTS, WE NEED TO KNOW THE DEPTH THAT WE
[00:15:01]
ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO GO FOR THEIR STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS.UM, SO NOW THAT WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THAT WILL BE, UM, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT IN THE NEXT SEVEN TO 10 BUSINESS DAYS, I WOULD SAY.
UM, AND THEN WE WOULD WORK WITH HALF OUR ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING FIRM FOR THOSE.
AND THEN THAT PORTION WOULD ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THE ARTS AND CULTURE COMMISSION AND WHAT'S THE PLAN TO ATTRACT ARTISTS, HOW ARE WE GONNA CONTRACT? UM, SO IT'S GONNA BE UTILIZED TO DO THAT.
SO PART OF THAT WILL BE THROUGH HALF.
THEY'LL USE NATIONAL NETWORKS, THEY'VE DONE SCULPTURES OF THIS SIZE BEFORE.
THEY'LL DO A NATIONAL CALL FOR ARTISTS FOR THAT THAT INCLUDE LOCAL EFFORTS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH MA'AM.
[8. DIRECTOR'S REPORT]
DIRECTOR'S REPORT.YOU KNOW, I'M JUST GONNA TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, MAN, WE'RE MOVING SO MUCH FASTER WITH JASON NOT BEING HERE.
WELL, I APOLOGIZE THEN BECAUSE
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT BEFORE YOU STARTED, I MEAN,
UM, SO I, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF SLIDES THAT, UH, I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF TOSS OUT THERE SO THAT WAY YOU GUYS HAD SOME THINGS TO LOOK AT.
UM, SOMETHING WE DO WANNA BRING TO YOUR GUYS' ATTENTION.
UM, WITH STA MO PARK, UM, WE ARE, WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN ISSUE THAT, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH RIGHT NOW.
UM, WE, UH, HAVE SPENT THE LAST LITTLE FEW YEARS TRYING TO WORK WITH, UH, THE CITY OF STAFFORD TO, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE STILL HOLDING UP THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN AND, UH, PROVIDING FUNDING FOR, UH, MAINTENANCE FOR THAT, THAT FACILITY.
UM, JUST, UH, RECENTLY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT DIRECTLY FROM THEM THAT THEY WILL NO LONGER BE PROVIDING, UH, PAYMENTS FOR MAINTENANCE FOR SPORTS DAY O PARK, UM, THAT WAS TIED DIRECTLY TO US ALLOWING, UM, OUR RSAS OR OUR, UM, RECOGNIZED SPORTS ASSOCIATIONS, UM, TO CONSIDER RESIDENTS OF STA O PARK AS A PART OF, UM, UH, WHAT IS THEIR, WHAT'S THE TERM I'M LOOKING FOR? RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT, UH, THAT ORGANIZATION TO GET A DISCOUNTED RATE TO BE ABLE TO USE OUR FACILITIES.
UM, WHICH IS KIND OF THE BALANCE THAT WE, THAT WE PLAY HERE.
IF YOU WANT TO DISCOUNT, THEN WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GOING TO OUR RESIDENTS OR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE, THAT ARE FUNDING THESE PARKS AND THE MAINTENANCE THAT GOES AS PART OF THAT.
UM, BECAUSE OF THAT, RIGHT NOW WE ARE WORKING ON REWRITING AN ORDINANCE.
UM, I SUSPECT AT SOME POINT, UM, ONCE WE KIND OF GET, UH, CLEARANCE FROM, UM, YOU KNOW, CITY MANAGEMENT OF EXACTLY HOW WE'RE GONNA MOVE FORWARD, THAT THAT ORDINANCE WOULD COME TO YOU GUYS JUST AS A, UM, PERIPHERY TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
AND THEN WE'D GO TO THE, UM, CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL AND THAT WOULD REMOVE ANY, UM, WORDING IN THERE, ALLOWING FOR CITY OF STAFFORD RESIDENTS TO BE A PART OF, UM, THESE RSAS.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE STICKING POINTS WHERE, WHERE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR CITIZENS ARE BEING TAKEN CARE OF AND, UM, THAT THOSE THAT WANT TO BE A PART OF OUR FACILITIES AND OUR PARKS AND OUR ACTIVITIES THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA WANT TO CHIP IN AND HELP US MAKE THEM BETTER.
UM, SO WITH THAT, THAT ALSO, UM, IS BRINGING UP THE FACT THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO DO A MAJOR REHAUL OF THAT WHOLE ENTIRE FACILITY.
AND THE DESIGN IS ALREADY OUT THERE.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE FUNDING FOR, FOR EXAMPLE, A SPLASH PAD AT THAMA PARK.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE LEARNED SINCE BEING HERE IS THAT IT'S HOT.
UM, AND SO WE DEFINITELY NEED, YOU KNOW, PLACES FOR OUR KIDS AND OUR CITIZENS TO BE ABLE TO GO AND COOL OFF.
AND SPLASH PADS ARE ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS AND MOST, UH, COST EFFICIENT WAYS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE TYPES OF SERVICES.
UM, AND SO WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A SPLASH PAD ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN RIGHT NOW, SO IT WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PUT ONE.
UM, WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING IN THE BOND FOR THAT.
SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO REEVALUATE WHAT ARE WE GOING TO NAME THIS PARK AND IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO GO OUT AND GET A SPONSORSHIP, A NAMING SPONSORSHIP FOR THE PARK TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT THEN WE COULD ADD A SPLASH PARK BACK IN.
UM, AND SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING RIGHT NOW INTERNALLY, UM, TRYING TO COME UP WITH, UH, SOLUTIONS AND OPTIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES, UM, AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD.
WE WOULD LOVE YOUR GUYS' SUPPORT AND HELP ON THAT.
IF YOU GUYS HAVE CONTACTS, ONE OF THE IDEAS, THE KICK AROUND IDEAS IS, UM, WE WOULD CALL THE SPLASH PAD PAG, THE SPLASH, PAG, NIAGARA FALLS.
[00:20:01]
MAYBE WE COULD GET A SPONSORSHIP OF, YOU KNOW, $400,000 FROM NIAGARA DANIELLE'S IDEA.UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE IT'S SOMETHING FUN LIKE THAT, THAT, THAT WE COULD ABSOLUTELY PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY AND, AND STILL BE ABLE TO ALSO, YOU KNOW, BALANCE THE, THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT TOO.
SO I, WE JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION, MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS KNEW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON AND THAT THIS IS A DISCUSS A DISCUSSION THAT'S HAPPENING INTERNALLY.
UM, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
UM, NEXT SLIDE, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND.
UM, WE ALSO WANTED TO BRING TO YOUR GUYS' ATTENTION AN EVENT THAT IS HAPPENING HERE IN JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT IT.
UM, I WANT TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE WAKE AND SCRAPE.
UM, ZANE WAS REALLY UPSET WITH ME.
HE'S LIKE, DONNA, YOU'RE STEALING MY THUNDER.
UM, BUT, UH, THE WAKE AND SCRAPE, UH, IS AN EVENT THAT, UM, OUR STAFF HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH, UM, A LO SOME LOCAL ORGANIZERS TO PUT TOGETHER OVER AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
IT'S A, IT'S A BURNOUT COMPETITION.
UM, THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT'LL BE HAPPENING.
UM, OF COURSE, FOOD TRUCKS, YOU NAME IT, IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT TURNOUT, GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR TOURISM IN OUR COMMUNITY.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING THIS EVENT IN A, IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION, UM, BUT DECIDED TO BRING IT TO MISSOURI CITY.
UM, WE BELIEVE THAT, UH, WE ARE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM, UM, AND WE'LL BE GREAT PARTNERS, AS WILL THEY.
AND SO IT'S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE EVENTS THAT WE CAN START BRINGING MORE OF OUR, OUR SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS TO MISSOURI CITY TO COME ENJOY AND RECREATE WITH US.
UM, AND I WOULD THOROUGHLY EN UH, YOU KNOW, ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO COME OUT TO THIS EVENT, UM, ENJOY THE CARS, ENJOY THE OPPORTUNITY.
UM, IT'S, IT SAYS AUGUST 18TH THROUGH THE 20TH.
THE 18TH IS ACTUALLY SET UP FOR ALL THE CARS.
SO THE CARS WILL BE COMING OUT, SETTING UP THEIR, THEIR VEHICLES.
UM, THE EVENT ITSELF IS ACTUALLY ON THE 19TH AND 20TH.
SO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, UM, THERE IS AN ENTRANCE FEE TO GET IN.
UM, BUT THOSE, THAT ENTRANCE FEE GOES TO OR TOWARDS AWARDS FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT VEHICLES, THEY HAVE ABOUT 25 DIFFERENT AWARDS THAT THEY'LL BE HANDING OUT.
UM, SO GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE FOLKS THAT PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO RESTORING REALLY RAD VEHICLES.
AND SO, UM, WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THEM.
WE'RE EXCITED THAT THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST YEAR AND HOPEFULLY, UM, BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS, UH, PARTNERSHIP FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
SO, UM, HOPEFULLY YOU ALL WILL COME OUT AND ENJOY THAT EVENT AND, UM, SUPPORT THAT.
UH, NEXT IS THIS, WHAT IS THE TIME ON THIS? UM, SO 8:00 AM IS, UH, DOORS OPEN ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, AND I BELIEVE IT GOES TILL 6:00 PM OKAY.
UM, SUNDAY IS AWARDS AT 3:00 PM AND THEN LASTLY, I JUST, AND THIS'LL, THIS WILL BE A TREND FOR ME, UM, ON THESE MEETINGS IS JUST SPENDING A LITTLE BIT OF TIME MAKING SURE THAT, UH, UM, WE PUT A LITTLE KUDOS OUT THERE FOR OUR STAFF.
SO FIRST OF ALL, I, I DEFINITELY WANNA RECOGNIZE JOSH, UM, WHO SPENT A LOT OF TIME, PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO THAT 4TH OF JULY.
THAT'S, YOU GUYS ALL KNOW, TURNED OUT AMAZING.
I WASN'T HERE, BUT I'VE HEARD NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS ABOUT HIM.
SO, UM, A LITTLE PRAISE IS DESERVED FOR JOSH.
YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH HIS STAFF AND WITH ALL THE REST OF THE STAFF AND PARKS AND RECREATION.
UM, I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE ALLISON VICKERY.
UM, ALLISON, UM, JUST TODAY WAS OUT IN, IN PEARLAND, WAS IT A PEARLAND? PEARLAND? IT'S NOT PERRY LAND.
ZANE, UM, UH, FOR OUR SPECIAL OLYMPICS BASKETBALL.
UM, IT'S PRETTY AWESOME TO SEE, UM, THOSE THAT ARE PLAYING BASKETBALL THAT ARE PART OF SPECIAL OLYMPICS.
ALSO COMBINING WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND THAT TAKES A LOT OF COORDINATION, MAKING SURE THAT ALL THOSE FOLKS ALL COME TOGETHER AND ARE ABLE TO, UH, BE ABLE TO ENJOY A GOOD GAME OF BASKETBALL AND A LITTLE BIT OF COMPETITION.
UM, THERE WAS ONE YOUNG MAN THAT I SAW TODAY, UM, JUST BEAUTIFUL SHOT.
AND THEN WHEN HE GOT DONE, HE PUT OUT THE BOWL AND HE WAS STIRRING IT UP
UM, AND IT WAS EXCITING TO SEE HIM BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF, UM, REACTION AFTER, YOU KNOW, THAT EXPERIENCE.
UM, SO ALLISON PUTS A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO MAKING THAT HAPPEN FOR US.
UM, ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE CRYSTAL, UH, PRITT WHO, UM, ACTUALLY HAD THE CONTACTS WITH WAKE AND SCRAPE THAT EVENT THAT I WAS JUST BARELY TALKING TO YOU GUYS ABOUT.
UM, SHE WAS THE ONE THAT, UH, SPENT A LOT OF TIME REALLY DRAWING THEM HERE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND LETTING THEM KNOW THAT
[00:25:01]
WE'RE SOMEONE THAT WE CAN PARTNER WITH.AND SO, UM, HATS OFF TO CRYSTAL ON THAT ONE.
UM, REALLY, I, I THINK WE COULD ALL, UM, SAY WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT DANIELLE OVER THE LAST NINE MONTHS, 10 MONTHS, HOWEVER LONG IT'S BEEN.
UM, YEAH, DANIELLE HAS STEPPED IN, SHE HAS FILLED THE ROLE OF KEEPING, YOU KNOW, THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT AFLOAT.
UM, SHE'S STILL KEEPING THAT DEPARTMENT AFLOAT AT THIS TIME.
ZAIN AND I ARE CATCHING UP AS FAST AS WE POSSIBLY CAN, BUT WE ARE BARELY KEEPING OUR HEAD ABOVE WATER.
HE WAS A CHINESE PUG AND HE COULD BARELY SWIM AND HIS FEET WERE HERE AND HIS NOSE WAS BARELY ABOVE WATER.
THAT'S KIND OF HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW.
BUT DANIELLE HAS BEEN, SHE'S BEEN THE HEART AND SOUL OF MAKING SURE THAT, UH, THIS DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO FUNCTION AND IS MOVING FORWARD.
WE STILL HAVE PROJECTS HAPPENING.
THERE ARE STILL WONDERFUL PROGRAMS HAPPENING.
THE 4TH OF JULY WAS ONE OF THE BEST THAT WE'VE EVER HAD.
I MEAN, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON OF THE ACCOLADES THAT, UH, DANIELLE DESERVES.
UM, SO DEFINITELY JUST A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR DANIELLE
UM, AND SO, AND THEN LAST, I DEFINITELY WANNA RECOGNIZE OUR PARK STAFF, UM, DURING THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER.
IT IS A DIFFICULT, UM, JOB TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PARKS CONTINUE TO STAY AS GREEN AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ALSO, UM, BEAUTIFUL AND USABLE FOR OUR PARK RESIDENTS.
SO, UM, GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO THE PARK STAFF.
SO THOSE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE STAFF KUDOS.
UM, THE, THE STAFF REALLY DO AN AMAZING JOB AND THEY WORK REALLY HARD, BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT HAVE REALLY STOOD OUT TO ME OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
UM, THAT IS THE END OF MY REPORT.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YES, SIR.
WE CAN GO BACK TO THE SLIDE OF THE UPCOMING AUTO SHOW.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? HOW'S IT BEING PUBLICIZED? UM, SO THE EVENT ORGANIZERS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUBLICATIONS.
UM, BUT RIGHT NOW, UM, IT IS FLYERS, SOCIAL MEDIA, UM, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE GONE OUT TO EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS, UM, ALLOWING TEXAS PARKWAY, UM, INTRODUCED THEMSELVES, ENCOURAGED THOSE BUSINESSES TO COME OUT AND PARTNER WITH THEM ON THIS EVENT.
UM, SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF, UM, A LOT OF FOOTWORK OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC TRYING TO ROUND UP, UH, SUPPORT FOR THIS EVENT.
'CAUSE IT DOES, IT TAKES A LOT OF FOLKS.
THIS IS, THIS IS JUST THE FRONT OF THEIR FLYER.
THE BACK OF THEIR FLYER IS FILLED WITH SPONSORS, LOCAL GARAGES AND BUSINESSES, YOU NAME IT, THAT ARE, ARE JUMPING ON BOARD TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS, UM, A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
I KNOW THAT WE'LL PUT SOME ITEMS OUT THERE IN THE NEXT, UH, WEEK OR TWO, UM, RIGHT BEFORE IT HAPPENS ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA.
AND IT'S ALSO FLYERS THROUGHOUT OUR FACILITIES AS WELL.
I THINK THERE WAS A TRUCK AT THE, UM, 4TH OF JULY, I THINK THEY WERE OUT THERE AND UM, UH, CRYSTAL WAS ALREADY TALKING IT UP.
WHAT'S IT COST? UH, $20 PER PERSON FOR SPECTATORS AND NONE OF THAT GOES TO THE CITY OR PARKS AND RECREATION.
IT'S ALL GOES TO THESE PEOPLE.
WE DO GET SOME MONEY FOR RENTAL FEES.
UM, SO WE'LL GET JUST KIDDING.
WE'LL PRETTY MUCH ALL OF OUR HOTELS ARE BOOKED OUT THOUGH, SO WE'LL GET THAT ECONOMIC IMPACT.
UM, FOR THE FOUR, FIVE NIGHTS.
UM, BECAUSE THEY, THEY'VE STRICTLY ALL OF THEIR HOTELS ARE MISSOURI CITY HOTELS.
THEY'RE CATERING RESTAURANTS ARE ALL MISSOURI CITY.
SO BUDDY'S REALLY WANTING TO KNOW IS WHAT EXPENSE IS MISSOURI CITY HAVING TO HAVE? DID THEY ASK FOR ANY IN KIND? THAT'S REALLY WHAT, WHERE I THINK HE'S GOING.
SO WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, FINANCES FOR THIS EVENT, UM, OUR COSTS ARE ACTUALLY PRETTY MINIMAL.
WE DO HAVE SOME STAFF TIME INTO IT.
UM, WE ARE PROVIDING SOME FENCING AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, BUT THAT'S KIND OF OUR WAY OF, OF HELPING THE EVENT.
UM, BUT OTHERWISE IT REALLY IS A, YOU KNOW, A MAJOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UM, ACTIVITY RATHER THAN A HUGE REVENUE PROVIDER FOR US.
SO WE'RE NOT AUGMENTING THIS WITH ANY KIND OF FOOD OR DRINK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THE SHOW IS THERE, BUT THERE ARE FOOD AND DRINK, THERE ARE FOOD TRUCKS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WILL BE THERE AS WELL.
BUT THAT'S NOT, BUT THAT'S NOT BEING PUT ON BY US.
AND I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO THE FIRST SLIDE.
WELL, BEFORE YOU LEAVE THAT ONE.
THE ONLY THING NO, THE ONLY I WANNA STAY ON THIS ONE SECOND.
THE ONLY THING I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU DO, BECAUSE THE, THE REAL ECONOMIC IMPACT IS THE FACT THAT WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIVE IN MISSOURI CITY COMING HERE, WHO'S GONNA STOP AT THE RESTAURANTS.
UH, AS YOU SAID EARLIER, THEY'LL COME AND THEY'LL STAY AT THE HOTELS AND, AND BECAUSE I KNOW I'M GONNA HAVE SOME PEOPLE FROM ROSENBERG MM-HMM.
[00:30:01]
THAT ARE COMING BECAUSE I JUST MENTIONED IT TO 'EM 'CAUSE I KNOW THERE WERE CAR BUFFS AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH YEAH.AND WHEN THEY COME AGAIN, YOU'RE RIGHT.
THEY'RE GONNA BUY FOOD ALONG THE WAY.
THEY'RE GOING TO SOME OF THOSE THAT ARE FURTHER OUT.
SO, UH, AND IT'S IT'S LITTLE TO NO CITY.
AND, AND IT, IT PUTS MISSOURI CITY IN A GOOD LIGHT.
IT GETS, YOU KNOW, IT GETS THE NAME.
IT'S ABOUT BRANDING AND PUTTING YOUR NAME OUT THERE.
AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EVENT THAT HELPED GET OUR NAME MISSOURI CITY'S NAME OUT THERE, WHICH IS IN A, A GOOD AND POSITIVE WAY.
UH, BUT I WOULD IMAGINE TOO THAT WE WOULD TRY TO, UH, GET WITH OUR COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT TO TRY TO PUSH IT AS WELL MM-HMM.
AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT FOR SURE.
BUDDY, I'M SORRY, I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT ON THE END BEFORE YOU SWITCH SIDES.
SO MAYBE IT WAS THE FIRST LINE, NOT THE SECOND.
SO IF I UNDERSTAND IT, THE CITY OF STAFFORD OWED THE CITY OF MISSOURI CITY $33,500.
THEY SAID POUND SAND, WE'RE NOT GONNA PAY IT.
THAT'S THE, THAT CORRECT? THAT IS THE SIMPLISTIC TERM AT THIS POINT.
THE QUESTION IS, ARE WE LEGALLY PURSUING IT? HOW CAN THIS BE THAT THE CITY WOULD BE SO GENEROUS TO SAY, EH, OKAY, IT'S ONLY 33,000 BUCKS AT THIS POINT.
ACTUALLY, ARE WE TAKING AT THIS POINT, THE CITY IS NOT SAYING, UH, WE'RE JUST GONNA SAY $33,000, BUT THERE, THERE ARE DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT ABOUT HOW WE COULD RECOUP THAT.
UM, BUT THOSE CAN, BUT THOSE ARE ONGOING AND BECAUSE IT'S A LEGAL DISCUSSION, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT I CAN PROVIDE FULL INFORMATION ABOUT.
BUT THAT IS PUBLIC INFORMATION.
SO WHAT I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO, IT'S PUBLIC INFORMATION THAT THEY OWE US $33,500.
SO WHAT I'LL DO IS THIS, 'CAUSE WE'RE KIND OF GETTING OFF SCRIPT AND I SEE MY, THE ATTORNEY, HE ALWAYS LOOKS AT ME, HE GIMME A LOOK LIKE MY WIFE DOES WHEN I'M GOING OUT COURT
SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS ON THAT SUBJECT RIGHT THERE, I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FROM A PARKS BOARD STANDPOINT.
WHAT I WILL SUGGEST IS THAT YOU TALK TO OUR ATTORNEY AFTERWARDS AND HE'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO STAY ALL NIGHT AND DISCUSS THAT
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS MR. MR. SCHNEIDER? NO, I'M ALL EXCELLENT.
[9. BOARD REPORTS]
ALRIGHT, UH, BOARD REPORTS.DO WE HAVE ANY REPORTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS? UM, JUST THAT WHEN YOU WERE DOING KUDOS.
I'LL JUST SAY THAT MISSOURI CITY GREEN, BECAUSE WE DO WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.
UH, WHEN WE DO SOME OF OUR EVENTS AND OUR ACTIVITIES THAT FOR OUR, UM, APPRECIATION AND SINCE JULY WAS A PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH, WE DID PROVIDE BARBECUE LUNCH, UH, FROM OLD HICKORY AND TO SEE THIS GROUP, UM, BARRY'S GROUP, UH, PAUL, DANIELLE, UH, ALL OF THEM TOGETHER.
YOU SEE WHY THEY WORK SO WELL TOGETHER.
AND ZANE FOR A NEW PERSON WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING.
THE CAMARADERIE IS, IS IS, UM, REAL.
