[1. CALL TO ORDER]
[00:00:08]
IS MONDAY, OCTOBER 13TH. WE'LL NOW CALL THE CITY COUNCIL MISSOURI CITY RECREATION AND LEISURE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COOPERATION MEETING TO ORDER AT 5:30 P.M. AND NUMBER TWO, A ROLL CALL. WE DO HAVE A QUORUM OF COUNCIL. CITY SECRETARY. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? YES, MR. MAYOR, WE DO. OKAY. ROSALIND. HAROLD. MISS HAROLD, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND PLEASE ADHERE TO THE THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT. THANK YOU.
OKAY. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS ROSALIND HAROLD. I RESIDE AT 4511 PINE LANDING DRIVE, MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS. 77459. FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE AGENDA THAT WAS POSTED REGARDING THIS MEETING BECAUSE IT DID NOT STATE THAT PUBLIC COMMENTS WOULD BE ALLOWED AT THE MEETING. PUBLIC INPUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF ANY CITY MEETING. THIS OVERSIGHT, IN MY OPINION, CREATES A NEGATIVE AND CHILLING EFFECT ON THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO SPEAK AT OPEN MEETINGS. I ONLY KNOW ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE.
FROM WHAT I'VE READ IN COMMUNITY IMPACT, THE NEWSPAPER AND ONLINE, THE COMMUNITY IMPACT DIGITAL PAPER, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PUBLIC FUNDS IS BEING ALLOCATED TO THE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF COURSE, WHICH I HOPE IS ONE DAY SOLELY BRANDED AS THE MISSOURI CITY GOLF COURSE. PER COMMUNITY IMPACT, $15 MILLION IS BEING SPENT ON THE GOLF COURSE AND CITY CENTER RENOVATIONS. COMMUNITY IMPACT STATES THE FUNDS THAT THESE RENOVATIONS ARE COMING FROM ARE FROM THE NOVEMBER 21ST VOTER APPROVED BONDS, AND THE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT AUTHORITY FUNDS. SO HERE'S MY FIRST QUESTION. HOW DO GOLF COURSE RENOVATIONS REASONABLY COME UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE METRO FUNDS THAT THE CITY RECEIVES? MAYBE I HAVE INTERPRETED THE ARTICLE INCORRECTLY, AND IF SO, I APOLOGIZE. AND I JUST HOPE THIS COMMITTEE WILL PROVIDE CLARITY TO ME. AND THE NEXT QUESTIONS WERE FORWARDED TO ME FROM DENISE ABHAYARATNA, WHO IS RUNNING FOR MISSOURI CITY COUNCIL AT LARGE POSITION TWO.
WHEN IS THE PAYBACK PERIOD FOR THIS $15 MILLION INVESTMENT? AS IN, WHEN WILL THIS GOLF COURSE PRODUCE $15 MILLION IN PROFIT TO PAY FOR THE $15 MILLION INVESTMENT? WILL IT BE THREE YEARS, FIVE YEARS OR EXACTLY WHAT PERIOD? IF WE CANNOT OPERATE THIS GOLF COURSE PROFITABLY, IT SHOULD NOT BE A PART OF OUR CITY'S INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM DENISE WHO WHO WOULD BE HERE TODAY. BUT FOR SHE'S AT THE DEBATE. THE MISSOURI CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE FORUM, WHICH WAS POSTED ONLINE OR ABOUT ON OR ABOUT, I'M SORRY, POSTED ON FACEBOOK ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER THE 9TH. SHE ALSO WANTED TO LET ME KNOW THAT SHE HAD ANTICIPATED THAT ALL OF OUR ELECTED, OUR REPRESENTATIVES WHO ARE IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION WOULD BE AT THAT DEBATE. I APPRECIATE YOUR LISTENING TO MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE AGENDA AND THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO SPEAK, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS DURING THE PRESENTATION, OR IF THEY CANNOT BE ANSWERED DURING THE PRESENTATION, THEN AT A FUTURE COUNCIL MEETING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR. SECRETARY. MR.
[(a) Receive a Presentation and Provide Direction to Staff - Quail Valley G...]
MAYOR, THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENTS. OKAY. THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER THREE, OUR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION THREE A IS TO RECEIVE A PRESENTATION AND TO RECEIVE A PRESENTATION AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. QUAIL VALLEY GOLF COURSE REVISED FISCAL YEAR 2026 BUDGET.PROPOSED RATE ADJUSTMENTS, BRANDING INITIATIVES AND RELATED FACILITY OPERATIONAL UPDATES SERGIO SALAZAR, GENERAL MANAGER. MAYOR IF I COULD JUST MAKE SOME OPENING COMMENTS.
THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR APPOINTING THE LGC COMMITTEE. THROUGH THE COMMITTEE, WE'VE DISCUSSED A NUMBER OF THESE TOPICS IN GREAT DETAIL. THIS MEETING IS BEFORE THE ENTIRE BOARD TONIGHT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS UP TO SPEED AND AWARE OF ALL THE OPERATIONAL POLICY DIRECTION THAT WE NEED. AND A LARGE PART OF THE REASON IS, OF COURSE, WE'RE HOPING THAT THE GOLF COURSE IS UP AND READY BY DECEMBER SO THAT WE CAN START ACTIVELY OR AT LEAST USING IT. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE ARE ALREADY BOOKING OR GETTING QUESTIONS ABOUT BOOKING FUTURE EVENTS. SO WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE SOME GUIDANCE ABOUT WHAT THOSE RATES ARE GOING TO BE. WE DON'T NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION TODAY ON THE RATES, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE FOR
[00:05:06]
THIS PRESENTATION TO BE MADE AND THEN OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO WEIGH IN ON THE PRESENTATION. SO WE WILL HAVE A SURVEY ON THE WEBSITE STARTING TOMORROW. WE WILL RUN THAT THROUGH THE 24TH TO GET THAT FEEDBACK. WE WILL COLLECT THAT FEEDBACK AND THEN BRING THAT BEFORE THE BOARD AT THE FEBRUARY, I MEAN, FEBRUARY, NOVEMBER 3RD MEETING AT THE LATEST, BECAUSE WE REALLY WANT TO HAVE FINALIZE THOSE RATES SO THAT WE CAN START MARKETING AND PUBLISHING THAT FOR FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE CALLING FOR TOURNAMENTS AND THE LIKE. SO WE WANTED TO HAVE THAT PUBLIC INPUT. SO WE WILL HAVE THE SURVEY ONLINE AND ANYONE CAN ASK QUESTIONS OR GIVE COMMENTS ABOUT WHATEVER WE'RE PROPOSING, BUT WE WILL BE GOING OVER ALL OF THAT INFORMATION TONIGHT, AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN HOLD QUESTIONS OR WRITE QUESTIONS UNTIL THE END. AND THEN WE WILL ADDRESS ALL THE QUESTIONS AT AT THAT TIME. THANK YOU MAYOR.OKAY. THANK YOU. WITH THAT, WE'LL OPEN IT UP WITH SERGIO SALAZAR, GENERAL MANAGER OF THE COURSE. GOOD EVENING. LGC BOARD, I'M SERGIO SALAZAR, I'M GENERAL MANAGER OF QUAIL VALLEY. I'M HERE TO UPDATE YOU ON SOME MILESTONES AND DELIVERABLES AS IT PERTAINS TO THE LGC ON THE SCREEN OBVIOUSLY, ARE SOME OF THE CITY COUNCIL GOALS. AND I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THOSE GOALS WHEN I GO THROUGH MY PRESENTATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT BECOMES WHEN IT COMES TO THE CREATING A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND MAINTAINING A FINANCIAL SOUND. CITY GOVERNMENT. ON THE AGENDA TODAY IS GOING TO BE THE AMENDED 2026 BUDGET AND THE PROFORMA FOR 2027, THE GOLF COURSE AND BUILDING NAME AND THE STATUS OF LA QUINTA RENOVATION, THE STATUS OF THE CITY CENTER AND THE GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE FACILITY PROJECT. THE OBJECTIVES ARE BASICALLY PRETTY CLEAR FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE AS AS THE RESIDENT SPOKE, TO ENSURE THE LGC IS A BREAK EVEN OR PROFIT ENTITY. THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. THAT'S ALL I'VE DONE MY ENTIRE LIFE. I'VE MY MY GOAL. I HAVE NEVER GONE WITHOUT IMPROVING THE THE FINANCES FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT, AND I DON'T PLAN ON MAKING THIS ANY DIFFERENT TO SUSTAIN THE CLUB, ON THE GOLF COURSE ON ITS OWN, WITHOUT RELIANCE ON GENERAL FUNDS. WE NEED TO GET TO THE PATH ON SELF PERSEVERANCE, AND I THINK I DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBT THAT WE WILL. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. IN ORDER TO DO THAT, YOU NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE WITH YOUR ACCOUNTING, AND YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE TRANSPARENT WITH YOUR ACCOUNTING. I WILL SHOW YOU A FEW OF THE METRICS AND MONTHLY TRACKING MONITORS TO TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT DESIRED OUTCOME. IN THE PAST, WE'VE USED A YEARLY BUDGET. I'VE BROKEN IT DOWN TO A MONTHLY BUDGET SO THAT THAT WAY YOU CAN THERE AREN'T ANY SURPRISES. AND THEN FURTHER DOWN I WILL TALK ABOUT HOW YOU BREAK IT DOWN EVEN MORE AND THEN TO ELEVATE THE EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT GOES HAND IN HAND. LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME. IF YOU ELEVATE THE EXPERIENCE, THEN YOU CAN RAISE THE REVENUES, THEN YOU RAISE THE REVENUES, THEN YOU CAN PUT BACK MONEY INTO THE PROPERTY. YOU CAN PUT BACK MONEY INTO THE CAPITAL, YOU CAN PUT BACK MONEY INTO YOUR STAFF. WE HAVE A LOT OF STAFF MEMBERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A RAISE. FRANKLY, THEY NEED A RAISE. BUT TO DO SO, WE NEED BETTER REVENUES. AND TO DO THAT, YOU ELEVATE THE EXPERIENCE. SO IT ALL GOES HAND IN HAND. AS WE TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS, WE'LL GO THROUGH THESE THREE MAJOR TALKING POINTS. THE OPENING OF LA QUINTA GOLF COURSE. IN A BEST CASE SCENARIO, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE END OF THE YEAR AND THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, WE'RE TALKING IN MAY FOR THIS, FOR THE FOR THIS BUDGET. WE DID LIMITED PLAY ON LA QUINTA UNTIL IT GETS TO LIKE APRIL, MARCH OR APRIL OR MAY OF NEXT YEAR. AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE FULL PLAY ON THOSE GOLF COURSES, BOTH GOLF COURSES, MAXIMIZING REVENUES. DURING THE LGC SUBCOMMITTEE, WE TALKED ABOUT THE EXPENSES RELATED TO THE TO THE GOLF COURSE BETWEEN GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE OF 120, $120,000 A MONTH, $110,000 A MONTH, AND $20,000 IN CART LEASES, 130,000 JUST TO COVER THOSE TWO. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY PAYROLL. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY ELECTRICITY. IN ORDER TO BREAK EVEN, YOU NEED TO MAKE ABOUT $180,000 A MONTH EVERY MONTH. NOT NOT JUST THE GOOD MONTHS, BUT AVERAGE OF $180,000 IN ORDER TO IN ORDER TO PAY FOR ALL YOUR EXPENSES AND YOUR PAYROLL. WHEN YOU BREAK THAT DOWN EVEN FURTHER, IT WINDS UP BEING $6,000 A DAY. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DAILY RATE YOU GO THROUGH THE WEEKDAYS. ON WEEKDAYS, WE VERY RARELY MAKE OVER $4,000. THE MONEY IS MADE ON THE WEEKENDS. LAST WEEK I PULLED THE RECORDS. WE MADE MORE MONEY ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY EASILY THAN WE DID ON MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THAT WASN'T JUST AN ANOMALY. THAT'S
[00:10:02]
THE WAY IT IS. SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE EMPHASIZE THOSE WEEKEND RATES THAT WEEKEND, OPTIMIZE THOSE WEEKEND REVENUES. AND THEN LASTLY, THE BAR AND CLUBHOUSE. WE'RE EXPECTING FOR THE BAR AND CLUBHOUSE TO OPEN IN MARCH. UNTIL THEN, WE'RE GOING TO BE LIMITED IN THE BLUEBONNET ROOM. AND WE HAVE SOME LIMITED WE HAVE SOME LIMITED EVENTS UPSTAIRS, BUT WE WON'T GET GOING FULLY UNTIL MARCH OR APRIL OF NEXT YEAR. AS FAR AS THE AS THE AS FAR AS THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 AMENDED BUDGET, YOU CAN LOOK ON THE RIGHT. AND WHEN THE GRAND TOTAL IS ABOUT $260,000 NEGATIVE. THE REASON WE DO THAT IS WE ARE ON TRACK. WE WON'T GET ON TRACK UNTIL WE GET INTO APRIL FOR THE FIRST. FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, WE LOSE $400,000. AND THEN ONCE YOU GET INTO ONCE BOTH OF THOSE, THE GOLF COURSE AND THE BAR, WE START MAKING A PROFIT. EVERY MONTH YOU GO FORWARD, I WON'T GET FORWARD, BUT I WILL 2027.WE WON'T HAVE ANY NEGATIVE MONTHS IF WE BUILD UP, BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT BUILDING REVENUE. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S BASED ON 258 -$258,000. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE $135,000 THAT WE PUT INTO THE CAPITAL FUND. THE 2027 PRO FORMA HAS. WE'RE FORECASTING TO MAKE $285,000.
AND AGAIN, IT'S A CARRYOVER FROM THIS YEAR. WE WON'T FULLY GET GOING PROBABLY UNTIL SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR. AND NOT EVEN THEN. BECAUSE FRANKLY, IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE GETTING A WEDDING, NOBODY'S GOING TO MAKE A WEDDING IN TWO MONTHS. AND IT'S HARD TO SELL WEDDING WHEN YOU HAVE SOME THINGS WALK DOWN. SO ONCE WE START OPENING IN MARCH AND APRIL, THAT'S WHEN YOU CAN SELL THE THE WEDDINGS FOR THE FOLLOWING MARCH AND APRIL, YOU CAN STILL GET THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE, SO YOU CAN STILL GET SMALL WEDDINGS. YOU CAN STILL GET THE CHRISTMAS EVENTS. SO WE WILL GET PROBABLY ABOUT 70% OF OUR CAPACITY WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
BUT YOU DON'T FULLY GET GOING UNTIL YOU'RE 12 MONTHS OUT. THEN YOU CAN SHOW THE FULL EVENT. WHEN, AS YOU CAN SEE ON 2627, A 27 FORECAST, WE'RE THERE'S GOING TO BE A $543,000 TURNAROUND. I'M VERY CONFIDENT IN THOSE NUMBERS. I WENT THROUGH THE NUMBERS DILIGENTLY.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE REVENUES. THE EXPENSES ARE SO MINIMAL. YOU KNOW, THE ONLY TIME THE EXPENSES GO HIGHER IS THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE. BUT IF YOU ON A GIVEN DAY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE $3,000 ON A GOLF COURSE OR $10,000 ON A GOLF COURSE, THE EXPENSES ARE LITERALLY $200, BECAUSE ALL YOU NEED IS MAYBE AN EXTRA STARTER. ALL YOU NEED IS AN EXTRA CAR KIT. ALL THESE OTHER EXPENSES ARE FIXED. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON THE REVENUES. THE EXPENSES. 95% OF THEM ARE FIXED AS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE TASKED BY THE LGC COMMITTEE WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY, EVERY COST CENTER WAS PROFITABLE. AND SO WE BROKE IT DOWN THAT WAY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DID WAS I PULLED A LOT. THEY WE HAD PULLED LIKE ELECTRICITY, ELECTRICITY, GAS, WATER, AND WE SPLIT IT ALL. BUT IT WAS VERY IT MADE EVERYTHING VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND. SO I PULLED EVERYTHING AND PUT IT ALL INTO A G&A ACCOUNT. SO YOU CAN SEE IN FOOD AND BEVERAGE 26, WE'RE GOING TO LOSE $12,000. WE ARE GOING TO BE PROFITABLE ONCE WE GET INTO APRIL, ONCE WE GET INTO THAT BAR, AND ONCE THAT BAR OPENS UP, THE THE FORECASTED REVENUES GO FROM ABOUT $30,000 TO $80,000 PER MONTH. SO THE TURNAROUND IN FOOD AND BEVERAGE WILL BE ABOUT $189,000. GOLF OPERATIONS. EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE TWO GOLF COURSES OPEN, YOU DON'T GET DOUBLE THE AMOUNT. YOU ONLY GET A PERCENTAGE OF THE AMOUNT BECAUSE YOU CAN DO ONE GOLF COURSE, YOU CAN GET FULL CAPACITY, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TWO GOLF COURSES FULL CAPACITY. YOU MAY DOWN THE ROAD, BUT AT FIRST YOU WON'T, ESPECIALLY ON THE WEEKDAYS. GOLF MERCHANDISE IS NEGLIGIBLE. CARTS IS IS IN THE SAME PERCENTAGE AS GOLF FEES. THE DRIVING RANGE AGAIN, WELL, IT'S BEEN OPEN SO IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ANY EFFECT EXCEPT FOR EXTRA PLAY G AND A, WHICH IS, LIKE I SAID, THE ELECTRIC, THE GAS, THE WATER WILL GO UP MINIMALLY WITH EXTRA PLAY. YOU KNOW YOU WILL NEED MORE ELECTRICITY, MORE WATER, BUT NOT MUCH. IN SUMMARY, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT WILL BE A $544,000 TURNAROUND FROM 2026 TO 2027. THE RATE PROPOSALS I KEPT THE RATES VERY LOW ON THE WEEKDAYS.
SENIOR RESIDENTS ARE $33 AND AGAIN, THE WEEKEND RATES IS WHERE WE NEED TO MAKE OUR MONEY.
WE NEED TO MAKE OUR MONEY. WE NEED TO CAPITALIZE. ON THE WEEKEND. MY PROPOSAL IS FOR CART FEES TO GO UP TO $20. THEY ARE CURRENTLY $18. A CART PLAN AND INDIVIDUAL CART PLAN WOULD BE $900 PER YEAR. IT WOULD BE A YEARLY RATE. INDIVIDUAL CART FEES CARTS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE GOLF COURSE UNLESS THEY ARE ON THE CART PLAN. WE WOULD GIVE THEM A STICKER. WE WOULD
[00:15:04]
BE ABLE TO MONITOR THEM THAT WAY. $900 IF YOU PLAY TWICE A WEEK FOR THE YEAR, WINDS UP BEING ABOUT $8.14 AS OPPOSED TO $20. IT'S YOU KNOW, WE'RE ONE OF THE RARE GOLF COURSES, PUBLIC GOLF COURSES THAT ALLOWS PRIVATE RATES. AND IT'S A LUXURY. IT'S A PRIVILEGE. AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO BRING THEIR OWN CARTS, BUT THEY HAVE THAT OPTION, WHICH IS A TREMENDOUS PRIVILEGE. AND AGAIN, WEEKDAY PASS HOLDERS, NORMALLY IT WAS MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. MY PROPOSAL IS TO ALLOW THEM TO PLAY ON FRIDAY BEFORE NOON, SINCE WE MAY ONLY HAVE ONE GOLF COURSE, AND IF WE HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN THE GOLF COURSE DURING THE WEEK SO WE CAN GET EXTRA REVENUES FOR TOURNAMENTS, WE WANT TO ALLOW THOSE SENIORS TO PLAY ON AN ALTERNATE DAY, SO WE'RE BASICALLY GIVING THEM FIVE WEEKDAYS INSTEAD OF FOUR, SO THAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO CAPITALIZE ON THOSE OUTSIDE EVENTS. AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THAT FOR THE RATE PROPOSALS AS IT COMPARES. THIS IS KIND OF A CONFUSING ON THE BOTTOM. I WOULD JUST LOOK AT THE PROPOSED ON THE BOTTOM. ON THE LEFT IS MEMORIAL PARK, WILDCAT AND GREATWOOD, WHICH ARE ALL MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WE ARE. WILDCAT MEMORIAL PARK ARE IN A MUCH MORE DESIRABLE LOCATION AS FAR AS LIKE BY THE POPULOUS AREA AND ON THE RIGHT, WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN PEARLAND, SIENNA, HERMAN PARK IN PASADENA. BUT FRANKLY, WE HAVE A MUCH BETTER PRODUCT.WE'RE VERY COMPETITIVE WITH THOSE. AND AGAIN, JUST VERY COMPETITIVE AS FAR AS STEPS TO ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY. WHEN WE WERE IN THE LGC ACCOUNT SUBCOMMITTEE, THEY SAID, WELL, THAT'S FINE, YOU CAN WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN ON PAPER, BUT HOW CAN YOU TELL? WELL, WE DO MONTHLY BUDGETS VERSUS YEARLY. SO INSTEAD OF SAYING, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO DO 5.4 MILLION, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IN THIS MONTH? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IN OCTOBER? WE'RE GOING TO $120,000 IN GREENS FEES AND ETCETERA, ETCETERA. AND THEN YOU MOVE FORWARD BY DOING A WEEKLY BUDGET TO TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN ADJUST, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING IF YOU'RE FALLING BEHIND AN INTERIM MONTH PACE REPORT. THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT, MONTHLY INVENTORIES, DOING THE INVENTORY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH AND A MONTH AT THE END, COMPARING IT TO PURCHASES TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR COST OF SALES ARE RIGHT, TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO THEFT, AND TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE PRICING ADJUSTMENTS TO FOOD OR ANYTHING ELSE. AND THEN RECONCILING EVENT FORECASTS VERSUS ACTUAL SALES. WHAT THAT MEANS IS YOU HAVE A $12,000 WEDDING. YOU MAKE SURE THAT THE NEXT DAY THAT $12,000 WEDDING WAS RUNG IN AND EVERYTHING WAS RECONCILED. EVENT COST SHEETS.
YOU LOOK AT SPECIFIC PARTIES, WHETHER IT'S A CELEBRATION OF LIFE OF 80 PEOPLE, THEY HAVE $4,000. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR YOUR COSTING IT OUTRIGHT. DO YOU NEED TO GO UP IN YOUR RATES? HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU MAKE. SO YOU TAKE THE REVENUES. YOU FIND OUT HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL LABOR YOU NEEDED, HOW MUCH FOOD YOU NEEDED, HOW MUCH DID YOU MAKE PER THAT FOR THAT EVENT? AND THEN FORECASTING PACE REPORTS. WHAT ARE WE LOOK LIKE IN TWO MONTHS? WHAT DO WE LOOK LIKE IN THREE MONTHS? WHAT WHAT EVENTS DO WE HAVE IN THOSE THREE MONTHS. AND THAT JUST GIVES YOU A GOOD BASIS. AND HOW MUCH DID WE SELL? IF YOU WANT TO DO 900,000 FOR THE YEAR, YOU GOT TO YOU GOT TO SELL 75,000 PER MONTH AVERAGE. OTHERWISE YOU'RE GOING TO FALL SHORT. THIS IS AGAIN A SAMPLE PACE REPORT OF THE MONTH. VERY SIMPLE. ON THE TOP GRILL. WE'RE EXPECTED TO DO $35,000 FOR THE BUDGET. AFTER SEVEN DAYS. WE'RE 88. WE'RE 8800. WE'RE ON TRACK AT THE VERY BOTTOM. GREENS FEES 120,000. AFTER SEVEN DAYS, WE'RE AT 30. WE'RE ON TRACK. IF WE'RE NOT, WE HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT UP. MOVING ON TO THE BLUEBONNET MENU AND PRICING, WE HAVE BRAND NEW MENUS FOR BOTH THE DINING AND SPECIAL EVENTS, AND THIS WILL BE EVOLVING. WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT NEW ITEMS AND WE'RE EVALUATING ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE'RE TRACKING SALES AND CUSTOMER FEEDBACK, MANAGING INVENTORY AND REDUCING WASTE. WHAT WE WHAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT PERCEPTION IS NOT REALITY. YOU HAVE TO GO BY HARD DATA, RUN THOSE REPORTS.
WHAT IS SELLING, WHAT IS NOT. IF IF AN ITEM IS NOT SELLING, YOU GOT TO PULL IT OUT, PUT SOMETHING ELSE IN AND THEN JUST MONITORING THE COST, MAKING SURE THE QUALITY IS GOOD AND MAKING SURE IT'S CONSISTENT BY PORTION CONTROL SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE GOOD COST SALES. HERE'S A SAMPLE OF OUR BREAKFAST MENU. A SAMPLE OF OUR LUNCH MENU. AND THOSE WILL EVOLVE, LIKE I SAID.
AND WE'LL HAVE FEATURED ITEMS TO BRING A COUPLE OF SANDWICHES IN PER WEEK TO KEEP THE MENU FRESH. IF ANY OF THOSE SELL WELL, WE'LL PUT IT ON THE MENU. THAT LOOKS GOOD. OUTSIDE CATERING. WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO CAPTURE THE NICHE MARKET BECAUSE OF THE DIVERSE COMMUNITY, AND BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE SPECIALIZED FOODS THAT WE CAN'T DO. WE NEED TO MAKE
[00:20:05]
SURE THAT WE ADDRESS THAT. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO TIGHTEN UP BY JANUARY.AND WE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE THING WE'RE GOOD AT WHAT WE DO, THERE ARE CERTAIN CULTURES THAT WE CAN'T DO. AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN TRY TO GET THAT REVENUE. AND PRETTY MUCH ONLY THE SPECIALTY ITEMS THAT CAN'T BE PREPARED AT THE RESTAURANT. AS FAR AS THE GOLF COURSE AND BUILDING NAME, I'M GOING TO BE VERY SHORT HERE. THERE IS VALUE IN RETAINING THE NAME QUAIL VALLEY. IT'S GOT 50 YEARS OF HISTORY. A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT. IT HOSTED THE HOUSTON OPEN FOR TWO YEARS, WHICH CARRIES A LOT OF WEIGHT, AND THERE'S A LOT OF GOODWILL IN THE NAME JUST FROM A RECOGNITION STANDPOINT. CITY CENTER IS CONFUSING. MANY PEOPLE COME TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER BECAUSE THEY THINK IT'S A CITY CENTER. BRIDES DON'T WANT CITY CENTER ON THEIR INVITATIONS. NOW THAT WE'RE PUTTING $7 MILLION INTO THE GOLF COURSE, $6 MILLION INTO THE CLUBHOUSE, WE'RE GOING TO ELEVATE THE EXPERIENCE. WE'RE GOING TO ELEVATE THE PRODUCT. WE NEED A NAME THAT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PRODUCT.
THESE ARE SOME I WAS ASKED TO GIVE. THREE. I WAS ASKED TO GIVE THREE RECOMMENDATIONS. AND THESE ARE THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOGOS AND NAMES. AND JUST TO THIS IS TIME SENSITIVE AND SOMETHING WHAT I WOULD HOPE CAN BE SPOKEN ABOUT TODAY AFTER THIS MEETING, HERE IS A JUST A LIST OF HOW IT WOULD LOOK ON THE BUILDING WITH THE BACKDROP, WITH THE DIFFERENT LOOKS AND DIFFERENT LOGOS. AND WE CAN GO BACK TO THIS IF YOU'D LIKE. THIS IS A SEPARATE ONE. AND A SEPARATE ONE. ALL OF THEM, IF YOU NOTICE, INCORPORATE THE MISSOURI CITY FLAG WITH IT.
THESE ARE THE MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE LOGOS IN THE AREA, THE WILDERNESS AND LAKE JACKSON MEMORIAL PARK, HERMANN PARK, AND SHARPSTOWN. NONE OF THEM HAVE THE NAME IN THE WITHIN THE NAME. THOSE ARE JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THE LOGOS. MOVING ON TO LA QUINTA GOLF COURSE. RENOVATION AND DRAINAGE. THE GRASSING OF ALL 18 HOLES IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED. WHAT'S PENDING IS REMODELING INSTALLATION OF NEW BATHROOMS. WE'RE GOING TO REDO THE ONE ON NUMBER THREE. WE'RE BUILDING ONE ON NUMBER SEVEN AND ONE ON NUMBER 12. AND THEN EITHER LATER THIS WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEK, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE GOLF COURSE AND GO THROUGH A PUNCH LIST ITEMS. JUST MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS JUST LIKE A HOUSE. WHEN YOU BUY A HOUSE, YOU JUST GO THROUGH THE PUNCH LIST, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S ADEQUATE, AND LA QUINTA IS EXPECTED TO BE FULLY OPEN FOR PLAY IN EARLY SUMMER 2026, OBVIOUSLY ALL DEPENDING ON WEATHER, ALL DEPENDING ON WEATHER. IT COULD BE PARTIALLY OPEN BY DECEMBER, COULD BE PARTIALLY OPEN BY SUMMER. IT'S ALL DEPENDENT ON WEATHER. THE CITY CENTER REMODELING EXPANSION PROJECT, THE RESTORATION AND REMODELING WORK IS COMPLETE IN PHASES ONE AND TWO, WHICH IS ALL THE BATHROOMS HAVE BEEN RENOVATED. THE PRO SHOP AND THE BLUEBONNET GRILL ARE OPEN. ALL THE ROOMS UPSTAIRS ARE OPEN, BUT THE MIDDLE PART, THE BAR AREA, IS NOT OPEN. ON THE RIGHT IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW WHERE THE OUTSIDE PATIO IS, AND ON THE LEFT IS A VISUAL OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT GATHERING SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY. THE GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE FACILITY PROJECT. THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS WAS TAKEN LAST WEEK. IT IS ON SCHEDULE TO BE OPEN IN SPRING OF 2026 AND THEN AFTER THAT, SUBSEQUENTLY, THE OLD BUILDING WILL BE DEMOLISHED AND REMOVED. THE NEXT STEPS, THE DELIVERABLES BY JANUARY IS TO FIRM UP SPECIALTY OUTSIDE FOOD CATERING OPTIONS, TO EVALUATE THE MARSHAL PROGRAM, TO TALK ABOUT TEE TIME POLICY, FORMALIZE A PRIVATE CART POLICY, AND THEN A BRANDING AND MARKETING PROGRAM. YOU KNOW, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE A GRAND OPENING PLANNED IN SPRING OF 2026 WHEN THE BAR OPENS TO BE ABLE, AND THE LA QUINTA STARTS FILLING IN TO HAVE A GRAND OPENING WITH, LIKE, BILLY RAY BROWN, A COUPLE GOLFERS GET SOME, GET SOME MARKETING INVOLVED, I THINK WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE.
AND I BELIEVE WITH THAT OUR QUESTIONS ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SERGIO. YEAH. LET'S START OFF WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CLOUSER. YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SERGIO, FOR THAT PRESENTATION. I'M PLEASED TO SEE ALL OF THE THOUGHT THAT HAS GONE INTO. EVERYTHING, ALL OF THE COST
[00:25:05]
CENTERS THAT THAT YOU DEVELOPED AND ALL OF THE THOUGHT THAT HAS GONE TO IT. AND I WANT TO THANK THE LGC COMMITTEE FOR YOUR HARD WORK IN BECAUSE I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE BEEN MEETING CONSTANTLY ABOUT THIS. SO THANK YOU ALL. ONE OF MY QUESTIONS YOU DID ANSWER WAS ABOUT THE MENU, JUST LIKE REEVALUATING THE MENU ITEMS. AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO WHEN YOU GOT HERE. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. FIRST QUESTION IS THE CART PLAN WHEN SOMEONE HAS A MEMBERSHIP, BUT THEN THEY HAVE A CART PLAN. WHAT WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE ARE OFFERING NOW VERSUS WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING ON THE CART PLAN IS DIFFERENT THAN THE IF YOUR THE CART PLAN, YOU CAN HAVE THE CART PLAN ALONE WITHOUT HAVING A PASSHOLDER. SO IF YOU PLAY GOLF A LOT, IT'S TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN CARTS AND IT'S IT'S CONVENIENT BECAUSE YOU CAN KEEP YOUR CLUBS IN THE GARAGE. SO ALL THE CART PLAN IS THAT YOU PAY $900 AND IT LETS YOU PLAY, NOT PAY A CART FEE FOR THE DURATION OF THE YEAR. OKAY. OKAY. AND THEN HOLD ON ONE SECOND. CAN WE GET THE PRESENTATION ON HERE ON THE SCREEN. SO WHERE HE'S NOT CONTROLLING IT WE'RE CONTROLLING IT. CAN WE HAVE THAT RIGHT HERE. NO, NO I GET IT. BUT I WANT TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THE SLIDES. HOW CAN I GET HOW CAN I DO THAT ON MY OWN. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. I'M SORRY. SO THE INDIVIDUAL VERSUS THE COUPLE OKAY. THAT'S THAT'S SELF-EXPLANATORY. AND THEN I GUESS IF THIS IS A WHOLE FAMILY THAT PLAYS GOLF OKAY. OKAY. THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION, THEN AS FAR AS THE TOURNAMENTS GO, THE TOURNAMENTS ARE YOU ALL ENCOURAGING OR IS THE ARE THE TOURNAMENTS THAT HAPPEN ON SATURDAYS MORE EXPENSIVE? BECAUSE WE DO HAPPEN TO HAVE MORE GOLFERS THAT WANT TO PLAY ON SATURDAYS. AND WITH US SHUTTING DOWN PRETTY MUCH A WHOLE OTHER COURSE FOR A TOURNAMENT, ARE WE PRICING THE TOURNAMENTS FOR SATURDAYS SO THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE OUR PROFIT SLOWLY? YES. WE AND PURE. YEAH. SOME OF THE THE EVENTS THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST AND THAT HAVE BEEN KIND OF GRANDFATHERED IN, PROBABLY AREN'T PAYING THE RATE THAT THEY SHOULD, BUT THEY WILL BE MOVING FORWARD. WE CAN USE ALL THE WEEKDAY TOURNAMENTS.WE CAN OKAY ANY IT'S ALMOST FREE MONEY. IT'S FREE MONEY. THE WEEKEND WE HAVE TO CAPITALIZE ON AND YOU KNOW, YOU WIND UP GETTING IF WE GO WITH THESE RATES, YOU KIND OF LOOK AT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE ON A REGULAR DAY AND A REGULAR DAY. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL JUST GO WITH THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE $9,000 ON A GOOD SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SO IF IF THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THE WHOLE GOLF COURSE, THEY NEED TO BRING YOU IN MORE THAN $9,000.
BUT IF THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO TAKE A PARTIAL COURSE, THEN YOU KIND OF LIKE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE. AND IT'S JUST A MATH QUESTION. YOU KNOW, IT'S A MATH QUESTION. THE THE GOOD THING ABOUT DOING GOLF TOURNAMENTS, SAY, ON THE SHOULDER MONTH IN NOVEMBER, IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S GUARANTEED MONEY BECAUSE NOVEMBER CAN BE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU CAN BRING IN $7,000 OR NOVEMBER, YOU CAN BRING IN 200, YOU KNOW. SO AGAIN, IT'S ALL MOVING FORWARD, THOUGH. YOU'VE GOT TO CAPITALIZE ON THE WEEKENDS.
YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE YOUR MONEY ON THE ON THE WEEKENDS. IT'S LIKE ANYTHING ELSE. YEAH. YOU KNOW LOOK AT ALEX KITCHEN. IT'S HARD TO GET A TABLE. AND ALEX KITCHEN HAS EVERY TABLE FILLED.
YEAH. WHERE WE NEED TO CAPITALIZE ON AND WE'LL GO TO IN JANUARY. IS THAT ALL THOSE TEE TIMES THAT ARE TAKEN NEED TO BE FILLED. AND IF THEY'RE NOT, WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF FIGURING OUT WHY THEY'RE NOT, BECAUSE WE HAVE TOO MANY TEE TIMES THAT ARE THAT ARE HELD BUT NOT TAKEN. AND THAT'S WE HAVE BEEN DOING BETTER AND BETTER WITH THAT. WHERE SOMEBODY HAS EIGHT LIKE TEE TIME FOR TWO TEE TIMES AND FOR EIGHT PEOPLE, BUT MAYBE ONLY FIVE SHOW UP. BUT WE'VE BEEN DOING A BETTER JOB OF THAT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR. BUT YES, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I'M GOING AROUND ABOUT YES, WEEKENDS HAVE TO. IT'S ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY, RIGHT? AND THEN IF A TOURNAMENT ENDS ON A SATURDAY AT THREE, THEN YOU STILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN THE COURSE UP TO OTHERS TO EVEN MAKE MORE MONEY. SO ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. YOU TALKED ABOUT SPECIALTY ITEMS FOR THE MENU. CAN YOU GIVE SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT SOME SPECIALTY ITEMS WOULD BE THAT OUR KITCHEN NECESSARILY ISN'T WELL VERSED AT PREPARING INDIANA FOOD, JUST INDIAN FOOD? WELL, NO, I MEAN THERE'S HALAL. YEAH. I MEAN, IF SOMEBODY WANTS SUSHI OR SOMETHING, I MEAN, WE'RE
[00:30:03]
PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE THAT. WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S I MEAN, IT'S IT'S HARD. I MEAN, KOSHER FOOD, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, SO I THINK THIS IS A DIVERSE CULTURE AND MORE DIVERSE THAN I'VE BEEN AROUND. SO, YOU KNOW, IF IF THERE'S A WAY TO MAKE MONEY AND TO RENT, RENT OUT OUR SPACE, THEN THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO. IF IT'S NOT BENEFICIAL TO US, THEN IT'S NOT. I MEAN, SO, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, WEDDINGS ARE JUST LIKE GOLF.YOU KNOW, THAT JUNE DATE, THAT JUNE, SATURDAY, NOT NOW, BUT IN ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO, IT'S GOING TO BE OUR MONEYMAKER. SO DO WE WANT TO GET DO WE WANT TO RENT THAT AWAY AND ONLY GET $3,000? BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE, IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO DO IT IN AUGUST. ABSOLUTELY. RIGHT. SO OKAY, THE WEDDING SUITE I REMEMBER WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HERE. THE WHAT? THE WEDDING SUITE. YES. YOU YOU MENTIONED THAT BEING A POTENTIAL BIG ATTRACTION AND THAT WE ARE UNDER CAPITALIZING ON THE WEDDING SUITE. WHAT IS THE WEDDING SUITE GOING TO LOOK LIKE AFTER RENOVATION? AND WHAT IS WHAT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED FOR THAT? WHAT'S DIFFERENT THAN WE HAD BEFORE? WELL, THE WEDDING SUITE RIGHT NOW HAS IT'S GOING TO HAVE LIKE 3 OR 4 MIRRORS ON ONE WALL WHERE, WHERE THE BRIDESMAIDS CAN, CAN PLUG IN. IT'S GOING TO HAVE A WEDDING LIKE DRESS TYPE OF DEAL. IT'S GOT 2 OR 3 TVS SO THEY CAN ROLL PICTURES OF THEMSELVES. WE HAVE AN AREA THERE WHERE WE'LL PUT A BUFFET. WE HAVEN'T PURCHASED IT YET, BUT WE'LL PUT A BUFFET SO YOU CAN PUT A CHARCUTERIE BOARD, DRINKS, YOU KNOW, MIMOSAS, WHATEVER, WHATEVER YOU WANT.
THE WITH THE BRIDAL SUITE, HONESTLY, IT'S MORE ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH IT. IT'S JUST LIKE A WEDDING, YOU KNOW, THEY A PERSON WILL GO INTO A BALLROOM AND THE BALLROOM MIGHT BE PLAIN, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO DRESS IT UP THE WAY THEY WANT TO DRESS IT UP. AND THE SAME THING GOES WITH THE WITH THE BRIDAL SUITE. WE HAVE EVERYTHING THERE. WE HAVE THE TVS AND WE HAVE THE, THE ABILITY TO DO ANY KIND OF FOOD. SO BUT THE KEY IS HAVING THE WEDDINGS AND IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE BATHROOM AND HAS A DOOR TO GO STRAIGHT IN THERE.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT A LOCK ON IT SO THAT THEY CAN LEAVE THEIR STUFF IN THERE. IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY BIG. IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD. THE REASON I ASKED ABOUT THAT WAS BECAUSE YOU HAD MENTIONED YOU HAD REALLY MENTIONED US MAKING THIS A BIG ATTRACTION AND BEING ABLE TO CHARGE MORE MONEY FOR THAT WEDDING SUITE. SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING ABOUT THAT. LIKE.
ARE WE GOING TO UTILIZE THAT WEDDING SUITE AS LIKE A CALL OUT ON OUR MARKETING MATERIAL, OR IS IT GOING TO BE OKAY? OKAY. AND THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IS WE HAVE WHEN THE BRIDES WHO HAVE COME BY HAVE A TOUGH TIME, SOME OF THEM HAVE A TOUGH TIME VISUALIZING WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND ARE FRANKLY LEERY OF ANY KIND OF CONSTRUCTION BEING DONE, EVEN IF THEY'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED NEXT SEPTEMBER. OKAY. I MEAN, AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. I MEAN, SO SOME HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD ABOUT USING THE MAGNOLIA ROOM, EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN THEY CAN ONLY COME UP THE ELEVATOR LIKE 5 OR 6 CAN COME UP THE ELEVATOR, BUT SOME JUST DO NOT TRUST THE PROCESS. DO NOT TRUST THAT THAT CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO BE DONE. SO UNTIL IT'S DONE, THEN I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO REALLY BE ABLE TO GET THAT WOW FACTOR, I DON'T THINK I MEAN, IT'S HARD. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE PERSON, HOW MUCH CONFIDENCE THEY HAVE. OKAY. AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS YOU MENTIONED A PARTIAL OPEN FOR DECEMBER FOR LA QUINTA. WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? A PARTIAL OPEN FOR THE GOLF COURSE. WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE WOULD BE THAT WE UTILIZE IT ONLY WHEN IT WHEN IT HELPS US. IT WOULD NOT BE OPEN ON ON MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY BECAUSE THERE'S NO REASON FOR IT. WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE EXTRA PLAY THAT WOULD NEED LA QUINTA. SO WHEN, WHEN WE NEED IT TO USE IT. THE PROBLEM WITH LA QUINTA, BECAUSE OF THE SEATING AND STUFF, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE CART PATHS PROBABLY UNTIL MAY OR JUNE OF NEXT YEAR. A LOT OF SENIORS WOULDN'T PLAY OVER THERE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET OFF THE CART PATHS. AND SO WHEN I SAY A PARTIAL OPENING, IT'S EXACTLY THAT. WE'LL BE OPEN ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY IF WE HAPPEN TO HAVE A TOURNAMENT LATER IN MARCH OR SOMETHING, AND THAT ISN'T OPEN, IF WE HAVE A TOURNAMENT ON THURSDAY, WE CAN OPEN LA QUINTA SO THAT THOSE PASSHOLDERS CAN GO PLAY LA QUINTA, POSSIBLY. OKAY. BUT YEAH, IT'S IT'S ALL GOING TO BE DEPENDENT ON THE CONDITION. I'D LIKE YOU TO WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUT IT IN A SITUATION WHERE IT HURTS THE GOLF COURSE OKAY. BUT ONCE IT'S SOMEWHAT ESTABLISHED, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO HURT A GOLF COURSE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS. YOU'RE WELCOME.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER O'DEKIRK. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS A FEW OF THE QUESTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBER FIRST, PROBABLY FOR CITY MANAGER, METRO FUNDS, CAN YOU TELL US HOW THESE METRO FUNDS ARE BEING USED ON THE GOLF COURSE AND HOW THEY FIRST OF ALL, YEAH, FIRST OF ALL, THAT'S MISINFORMATION. WE HAVE
[00:35:01]
PROPOSED TO USE METRO FUNDS. IF WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN AN AGREEMENT WITH METRO ON THE MOBILITY PATH THAT WE REFER TO AS THE CART PATH, AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR $1.5 MILLION WHEN THAT DID NOT GO FORWARD, THAT WAS NO LONGER AN OPTION. SO THERE THERE ARE NO METRO FUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GOLF COURSE RENOVATIONS OR THE CITY CENTER RENOVATIONS. THANK YOU. AND PART OF THE FUNDS BEING USED ARE INSURANCE FUNDS TO RENOVATE THE CITY CENTER.CORRECT? CORRECT. OKAY. AND I WAS ACTUALLY ON THE 2021 BOND COMMITTEE. AND A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS HELPING MITIGATE FLOODING, NOT IN THE GOLF COURSE ITSELF, BUT THIS WAS COMMUNITY FLOODING THAT WAS DRAINAGE AND DRAINAGE, ESPECIALLY 2021. WE WERE LOOKING BACK IN 2017 AND HARVEY AND SOME OF THE FLOOD MITIGATION FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. SO THIS WAS NOT JUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COURSE ITSELF. IT WAS ACTUALLY MITIGATING FLOOD FLOODING IN OUR STREETS AND IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, OUR BACKYARDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND NOT JUST THE IMMEDIATE QUAIL VALLEY AREA. THIS WAS ROLLING OFF INTO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS SURROUNDING THE COMMUNITY. SO. METRO IS DONE. INSURANCE. SO YOU ANSWERED. THIS WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION. I WANT TO SAY THAT YOU COVERED SO MANY THINGS BECAUSE EVERY TIME SOMETHING CAME UP, YOU IMMEDIATELY HAD AN ANSWER. I WILL ASK ABOUT THE NICHE MARKET. OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T MAKE MONEY WHEN THEY BRING CATERING IN, SO I'M GOING TO ASSUME THERE WILL BE SOME OUTSIDE CATERING FEE OR SOMETHING TO OFFSET. YEAH, THERE'S TWO WAYS. THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT WAYS PRIMARILY THAT YOU CAN DO THAT. YOU EITHER DO A ROOM RENTAL FEE WHERE IT'S LIKE A FLAT 2 OR $3000. IF YOU WANT TO USE THE MAGNOLIA ROOM, OR YOU DO IT ON A PER PERSON THING WHERE IT'S LIKE AN EXTRA $20 FOR EVERYBODY WITH A MINIMUM OF 100 PEOPLE IN A CERTAIN ROOM, OR 50 PEOPLE DEPENDING ON WHICH ROOM THEY WANT. THAT'S USUALLY WHAT'S DONE. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THIS IS PART OF OUR PUBLIC PARKS. CORRECT. THE GOLF COURSE OVERALL IS, IS IS PART OF OUR PARK SYSTEM. IS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S A WAY TO LOOK AT IT. BUT IT'S REALLY AN ENTERPRISE FUND THAT IS LOOKED AT DIFFERENTLY THAN THE PARK SYSTEM. OKAY. YES. OKAY. WELL I ALWAYS HEARD IT LUMPED IN WITH PARKS, BUT I MEAN, IT'S IT CAN BE I MEAN, THERE'S DEFINITELY AN ATTRACTION FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT IT AS A PARK. WE ENCOURAGE USAGE OF THE GOLF COURSE, BUT PRIMARILY IT IS A DESTINATION PLACE. IT IS A GOLF VENUE. IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING COMMUNITY TOGETHER AND IT'S A SEPARATE CORPORATION. HENCE WHY WE'RE MEETING TONIGHT AS A BOARD VERSUS THE COUNCIL. RIGHT. AND AND AS PART OF THAT, WE BUT JUST JUST GO AHEAD LEGALLY.
YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S A PARK. LEGALLY IT'S PART OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU I HAVE I HAVE MY VOICE OVER HERE TO TO KEEP ME STRAIGHT. YES. OKAY. LEGALLY IT IS A PARK. LEGALLY IT IS A PARK.
OKAY. BUT IT IS A IT IS AN ASSET OF OUR CITY. AND AS SUCH WE MAINTAIN IT. WE WANT IT TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL. WE DON'T WANT IT TO DETERIORATE. AND WE DON'T WANT, AS PEOPLE HAVE SUGGESTED, TO BRING THE TOWNHOMES IN AND THINGS THAT WILL REDUCE PROPERTY VALUES AND FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND DESTROY GREEN SPACE THAT PEOPLE ARE BEGGING FOR IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO LET'S SEE. I JUST YOU TOUCHED ON IT, BUT THERE WAS AN URGENCY IN GETTING THIS OUT, GETTING THESE THINGS GOING. AND I THINK BOTH OF YOU TOUCHED ON IT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT I UNDERSTAND. I ASKED PREVIOUSLY WHY WE WERE BEING DRAGGED IN TONIGHT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE COULD BE DOING. AND THE COMMENT IS THAT THIS HAS TO BE SET SO THAT WE CAN START MAKING THAT MONEY, START ROLLING THESE THINGS OUT SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS MOVING, TO GET THOSE BOOKINGS AND ALL OF THAT. IS THAT SO THE PRIMARY REASON FOR TONIGHT IS WE WE ACTUALLY ONLY HAVE A FEW MEETINGS LEFT IN THE YEAR, AND WE'RE ALREADY GETTING BOOKINGS FROM, FROM PEOPLE WANTING TO EITHER HAVE AN EVENT OR HAVE A TOURNAMENT. OKAY. AND SO WE NEED TO KNOW AND BE ABLE TO TELL THEM WHAT THOSE RATES ARE SO THEY CAN MAKE UP THEIR MIND. SO AND ALSO THE OTHER PIECE OF THAT, ONLY THREE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL HAVE HAD AN EXTENSIVE REVIEW OF ALL OF THESE ITEMS. SO IT WOULD BE UNFAIR TO THINK THAT WE COULD
[00:40:01]
WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE AND BRIEF COUNCIL ON ALL OF THESE CHANGES AND HAVE A DECISION TONIGHT. I MEAN THAT IDEALLY I WOULD WANT A DECISION TONIGHT ON THE RATES AND THE NAME, BUT I WILL DEFER TO JUST THE NAME BECAUSE WE WANT TO FINISH PAINTING. WE'VE PUT THE PAINTING ON HOLD UNTIL WE GET A NAME. AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M REQUESTING TONIGHT.THE RATES WE CAN GET MORE FEEDBACK AND COME BACK AT THE LATEST AT THE NOVEMBER 3RD MEETING. BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO GET SOME DIRECTION ON THE RATES AS WELL AS THE PROPOSED PLANS AND ALL OF THAT, SO WE CAN START PREPARING MARKETING MATERIALS AND AT LEAST START HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PERSPECTIVE OF CUSTOMERS THAT WANT TO USE OUR FACILITY. OKAY.
THANK YOU. AND JUST QUICKLY, BECAUSE THIS IS A MEETING OF THE LGC, THERE WAS NO PUBLIC COMMENTS NEEDED AND OR NOR REQUIRED. IS THAT WHY THIS WAS LEFT OUT? I'M GOING TO DEFER TO CITY SECRETARY. SO PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE ALLOWED. IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT ON THE AGENDA AND THAT IS WHY WE ADDED IT TO THE SCRIPT FOR TONIGHT TO ALLOW FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. AND THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED ON THE AGENDA TEMPLATE THAT WE DO USE. OKAY. AND BUT THERE'S NO NEGATIVE IMPACT ON CONTINUING PROCEEDING AS SUCH. I GUESS THAT'S A LEGAL QUESTION. OKAY.
THANK YOU. OKAY, I DID RECOGNIZE AND COUNCILMEMBER RILEY. THANK YOU MAYOR. GREAT PRESENTATION SERGIO, AND THANK YOU TO THE LGC COMMITTEE FOR YOUR WORK AS WELL. I HAD ONE QUESTION, ONE QUESTION THAT WAS ALREADY ANSWERED IN REGARDS TO THE OUTSIDE CATERING. IS THAT IS THAT PARTICULAR RATE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH? IS THAT IS THAT GOING TO BE IN A LATER PRESENTATION AS FAR AS THE THE RATES THAT YOU GUYS ARE COMING UP WITH? YES. YEAH, I WOULD IMAGINE I WOULD IMAGINE IT WOULD GO FIRST TO THE LGC SUBCOMMITTEE FOR THEIR FEEDBACK AND THEN WE WOULD COME BACK. ARE YOU JUST GOING TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER GOLF COURSES TO SEE HOW THEY HANDLE THAT, TO GET YOUR RATES RIGHT? OKAY. MY OTHER QUESTION IS WHERE YOU HAVE THE SENIOR BENEFITS. THE SENIOR RATE. CAN VETERANS BE ADDED INTO THAT PARTICULAR RATE? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH I THINK THAT WOULD BE FAIR. THAT'S UP TO YOU ALL. WE HAVE A LOT OF VETERANS HERE THAT PLAY HERE. AND OF COURSE THEY DO, YOU KNOW DIFFERENT TOURNAMENTS AND STUFF.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE A NICE DRAW IS TO, YOU KNOW, HONOR OUR OUR VETERANS ALONG WITH OUR SENIOR AND HAVING THAT RATE IN THERE. IF YOU COULD JUST CLARIFY THAT ON THAT. SURE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. MY OTHER QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU WITH THE BRANDING OF THE BUILDING AND ALL OF THE MARKETING MATERIALS AS IT RELATES TO THE NEW LOGO, THAT COUNCIL WILL EXCUSE ME, THAT THE COMMITTEE WILL SELECT TONIGHT? DO YOU HAVE A COST ANALYSIS OF WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE? DEPENDING ON WHICH LOGO WE GO WITH? NO. AND I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE THAT SUBSTANTIAL. EVERYTHING AROUND THERE SAYS QUAIL VALLEY ALREADY. I MEAN, AS FAR AS LIKE ALL THE MERCHANDISE THAT JUST SAYS SOME OF US QUAIL VALLEY GOLF, I MEAN, BUSINESS CARDS WOULD BE THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED IF YOU LEAVE QUAIL VALLEY IN THE NAME. HONESTLY, IF YOU ASK SIRI TO TAKE YOU TO QUAIL VALLEY, IT SAYS QUAIL VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB AND THEN SO I DON'T THINK IT WOULD MATTER. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO ORDER LIKE NEW MERCHANDISE.
WELL, WE WILL GET NEW MERCHANDISE AS WE GO FORWARD TO ALIGN WITH IT, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE USED FOR PAMPHLETS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF AS FAR AS LIKE OUTINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, I THINK IT WOULD BE GOING FORWARD. I DON'T THINK WHEN I, WHEN YOU SAID THAT, I WAS THINKING YOU MEANT MORE LIKE, IS THERE A BUILDING SIGNAGE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO ELIMINATE WHETHER THERE WAS T SIGNAGE THAT WE HAD TO ELIMINATE? I HAD A, I HAD A CLUB THAT CHANGED NAMES BEFORE, AND WE HAD TO CHANGE ALL THE SIGNAGE OUT. THAT'S NOT THE CASE HERE BECAUSE IT ONLY HAS A Q. SO THERE I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE. THERE'S NOT ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL THAT WOULD BE CHANGED BECAUSE THE THE NAME QUAIL VALLEY WOULD STILL BE IN THERE. AND JUST SO THE PUBLIC KNOWS, WE HAVEN'T PUT UP ANY SIGNAGE ON THE NEW BUILDING, ANY NEW SIGNAGE ON THE BUILDING FROM THE REPAIRS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. NO, WE'VE LEFT THAT.
THE SIGNAGE ON THE ON THE BUILDING JUST HAS THE MISSOURI CITY LOGO AT THE TOP RIGHT. AND IT HAS IT HAS OUR VERBIAGE ON THE BOTTOM, WHICH IS STILL THERE CURRENTLY. THAT'S WHAT THE CITY MANAGER WAS TALKING ABOUT. LIKE THERE WAS AN URGENCY TO GET THAT PAINTED. MY OTHER QUESTION, WAS THERE ANY COMMUNITY INPUT OR ANY OF THE GOLFERS THAT WERE ABLE TO ADD INPUT OF HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NEW LOGOS? NO, HONESTLY, NO. JUST THE BRANDING. HOW DID Y'ALL COME UP WITH THESE? I'M JUST CURIOUS. JOBI KNOW. JOBI I HAD A PREFERENCE OF ONE. ONE OF OUR ONE OF MY EMPLOYEES INCORPORATED THE MISSOURI CITY LOGO INTO IT. I THOUGHT THAT
[00:45:02]
WAS A REALLY GOOD CORRELATION. AND THEN JOB. OKAY, WELL, I LOVE THEM ALL. WELL, I LOVE ONE AND I LIKE A LOT OTHER TOO. SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING. WHO DID THAT? BECAUSE IT WAS A REALLY YOU KNOW, IT ENCOMPASSED KIND OF REALLY WHAT QUAIL VALLEY IS, WHAT THE CITY CENTER IS. AND YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE. SO I THINK YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB WITH COMING UP WITH THESE THREE SELECTIONS. MY OTHER QUESTION IS THE ON PAGE 13, THE REPORTS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT FOR THE ACCOUNTABILITY ASPECT, WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING THESE REPORTS AND WHO'S GOING TO HAVE OVERSIGHT WITH THOSE REPORTS? DO THOSE REPORTS COME TO THE COMMITTEE AS WELL, OR WILL HE MAY, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC OR NOT REALLY PUBLIC, BUT WE MAY READILY AVAILABLE TO TO WHOM? WHO'S GOING TO BE REVIEWING THAT? I'LL LET THE CITY MANAGER ANSWER. YEAH, ACTUALLY, STAFF WILL COME UP WITH THE REPORTS AND MONTHLY WE WILL BE PRESENTING THOSE REPORTS AND TRACKING THE RESULTS WITH THE COMMITTEE. AND THEN QUARTERLY, WE WILL PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO THE ENTIRE BOARD.OKAY. AND WITH WITH ALL THE REPORTS AND ALL THAT. WE'LL MEET QUARTERLY WILL AT THAT TIME YOU MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON CHANGES, IMPROVEMENTS OR THINGS THAT WE NEED. OKAY. THIS IS JUST NOT WORKING. WE NEED TO SCRAP THIS POSSIBLY POSSIBLY ON THE RATES. YOU KNOW, IF THE AGAIN YOU GO BACK TO THE THE GREENS FEES THAT'S YOUR MONEY MAKER. THERE IS ZERO COST TO IT.
YOU KNOW FOOD. YOU GOT 35% PLUS OF YOUR LABOR MERCHANDISE YOU GOT 75% CARTS. YOU STILL HAVE GREENS FEES. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DO 100,000 OR 300,000, YOUR COST IS GOING TO BE A $2,000. SO YOU'VE GOT TO PUSH REVENUE. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YEAH, IF IF OUR RATES ARE TOO HIGH, I'LL COME BACK AND SAY, HEY, LISTEN, THIS IS WHAT I THINK. IF OUR RATES ARE TOO LOW, I'D BE LIKE, LISTEN, IT'S MAY WE CAN MAKE MORE MONEY. WE CAN. INSTEAD OF BEING -200,000 FOR THE YEAR, WE COULD BREAK EVEN FOR THE YEAR. WHAT DO YOU THINK? SO YES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY, BUT I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW, IT'S THERE'S. AND THE OTHER THING IS THERE'S NOTHING SPECIFIC ABOUT GOLF. FIRST THE WHAT DRIVES THE PLACE IS WHETHER AN ECONOMY IF THE ECONOMY TANKS. I WANT TO COME BACK TO YOU AND SAY, WE NEED LOWER RATES, BUT, YOU KNOW, AND TO GO BACK TO THAT, YOU KNOW, IN 2010, EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING AT THEIR RATES AND LOWERING IT DURING THE PANDEMIC. EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING AT THEIR RATES AND RAISING IT. SO YES. OKAY. AND THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHY YOU GOT TO DO MONTHLY. THAT'S WHY YOU GOT TO DO WEEKLY ON A WEEKLY BASIS. YOU CAN JUST SAY, WOW, WE GOT TO CHANGE SOMETHING. BUT ON A MONTHLY BASIS YOU'RE LIKE, WOW, WE GOT TO DO IT FAST. AND SO YES. AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION IN REGARDS TO YOUR MARKETING PROGRAM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT PAGE THAT WAS ON. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT PAGE. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. THE COST CENTERS. IS THAT I THINK SO, YES. NO NOT THIS. IT HAD THE ACTUAL WHAT THE WHAT YOUR FORECAST WAS FOR LIKE WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT, WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE WITH YOU. I THINK YOU YOU DISCUSSED YOU'RE GOING TO DISCUSS NEXT STEPS. NEXT STEPS. OKAY. YEAH. CAN YOU GO TO THAT PAGE. THAT'S NOT THIS ONE. IT'S THE ONE BEFORE. I'M NOT I'M NOT CONTROLLING IT. RIGHT. SO WITH THE BRANDING AND MARKETING PROGRAM WITH THIS THAT YOU THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BRING BACK, ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE SPECIFIC COST ANALYSIS IN HERE THAT TALKS ABOUT WHAT IS IT GOING TO COST US TO TO DO ALL THE REBRANDING AND THEN TO WHAT TYPE OF MARKETING YOU'RE GOING TO BE. RIGHT. I THINK THAT WE MARKETING IS THE LOW HANGING FRUIT. WE HAVEN'T UTILIZED FACEBOOK ENOUGH, INSTAGRAM ENOUGH, TIKTOK ENOUGH. YOU YOU HAVE TO GET YOU GET YOU HAVE TO GET THE SORORITY TO COME OUT AND TAG PEOPLE. BUT THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING WHERE AND I AND I DON'T THINK THAT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS CAN DO AND HAVE THEM KIND OF MY THOUGHTS.
AND AGAIN, IT'S HARD BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SOMEBODY SELLING EVENTS. BUT AT SOME POINT WHEN YOU GROW REVENUES, YOU HAVE A SECOND PERSON DOING AN EVENT, THEN YOU HAVE A THIRD PERSON WHO DOES LIKE HELPS THEM OUT. AND THAT PERSON HELPS DRIVE. THE MARKETING HELPS DRIVE. BUT YOU KNOW, THE THE EVENTS PERSON IS USUALLY THE ONE WHO DRIVES IT THE MOST.
BECAUSE AS YOU'RE HAVING AN EVENT, YOU CAN BE LIKE, OH, SO HONORED TO HOLD A CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR SO AND SO AND SO AND SO WHAT A GREAT RESIDENT, BLAH, BLAH BLAH. AND AS YOU'RE HAVING A WEDDING OR AS YOU'RE HAVING A 50TH ANNIVERSARY, YOU CAN POST IT AND THAT TRIGGERS OTHER PEOPLE TO BE LIKE, HEY, WE'RE HAVING A 35TH ANNIVERSARY. WHY DON'T WE DO THAT? OH, HOW
[00:50:05]
BEAUTIFUL. THEY THEY RENEW THEIR VOWS. YOU KNOW, THAT CAN BE VERY LOW COST. AND MOST OF IT IS IT'S I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A COST CENTER. I DON'T EVEN THINK IT'LL BE COST. I THINK I THINK YOU JUST GO WITH USING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA TO DO IT, WHICH WE REALLY HAVEN'T DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF. AND, AND ONCE WE'RE UP AND RUNNING, YOU KNOW, THE WORD PREMIERE DESTINATION IS OVERUSED. WE'RE EXQUISITE FOOD. THIS PLACE IS GOING TO BE A PREMIER DESTINATION, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS AREA OF TOWN, ESPECIALLY IF WE DO THE RIGHT THINGS. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE WE'RE ON TRACK. YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME SMALL LITTLE THINGS. BUT AS FAR AS STAFFING, I THINK THEY ALL LOOK SO MUCH BETTER. THE GOLF COURSES ARE GOING TO LOOK BETTER. WE'RE DOING A WE'RE DOING WORKING ON A DEAL WITH FIRST TEE THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THE MAKE THE PRACTICE CENTER LOOK BETTER. YOU KNOW WE'RE UP FOR A NEW CARTS. AND THAT'S A GREAT VALUE TO TRY TO UPGRADE YOUR CARTS. A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS REALLY ELEVATES THE EXPERIENCE. AND SO WE COULD MAKE IT IN THIS AREA. THERE'S NOT A GREAT GOLF COURSE THAT'S PUBLIC. AND WE HAVE TWO. YEAH. AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE CARTS, WILL YOU GUYS BE DOING MARKETING TO SELL, YOU KNOW, ADVERTISEMENT. ON THE CARTS WHERE PEOPLE CAN PURCHASE TO PUT LIKE THEIR LOGO OR THEIR COMPANY NAME ON THE CART FOR ADVERTISEMENT ONLY IF IT'S FINANCIALLY VIABLE. I MEAN, THERE'S A CERTAIN POINT WHERE IT DOES LOOK KIND OF IT KIND OF DEGRADES THE PRODUCT IF YOU DO IT TOO MUCH. I MEAN, LIKE IF YOU DID RUNNING ADS ON THE GPS, IT'S NOT BAD. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU GET PEOPLE WHO DO LIKE ADVERTISEMENTS ON SCORECARD OR ON THE TEE MARKETING AND DEGRADES THE PRODUCT. I MEAN, SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE, HOW MUCH IS WORTH IT? NOW, IF YOU GIVE ME NAMING RIGHTS AND YOU WANT THE MAGNOLIA ROOM, YOU KNOW, TO BE THE MARSHALL ROOM, BRING IT. I'LL GIVE YOU GIVE ME HALF $1 MILLION. LET'S GO. YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING. YOU WERE BLINGING. YOU WERE BLINGING. SO YOU KNOW. YEAH. I'M JUST WONDERING, ARE YOU. I'M SURE YOU ARE. BUT JUST DIFFERENT CONCEPTS ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY. YES. YEAH. I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT, BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY. THERE ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES.JUST AREN'T WORTH IT. YOU CAN'T BE ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE, AND YOU HAVE TO TRY TO GET A SYSTEMATIC PLAN THAT WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE? WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE IN THREE YEARS, AND WHAT IS THE ROUTE TO GET THERE. YEAH. AND AND YOU KNOW THE RATES. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO INCREASE THE RATES. BUT YOU CAN'T GO SO CRAZY ON THE RATES THAT YOU YOU DETER YOUR, YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS, OUR CUSTOMERS. WHEN YOU GO INTO THE BLUEBONNET ROOM ON LIKE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, THE THE QUAIL LADIES ARE THERE LIKE EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THESE CUTE WOMEN AND THEY'RE TAKING TWO ROUND TABLES. YOU DON'T WANT TO JACK UP THE PRICES SO MUCH THAT THEY WANT TO GO SOMEPLACE ELSE. SO IT'S JUST A IT'S JUST BALANCING AND COMMON SENSE. AND THEN MY LAST TWO QUESTION CAN YOU MAKE THIS PRESENTATION. CAN YOU SEND THE PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL TO THE COMMITTEE SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF HAVE IT IN REVIEW OVER IT. AND MY LAST THING IS, YOU KNOW, I'M FULLY SUPPORTIVE, YOU KNOW, OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO WITH DIRECTION. YOU ARE AS LONG AS YOU KEEP THE TAQUITOS ON THE MENU. ACTUALLY, IF YOU GO TO IT, WE JUST PUT THEM ON. SO I SAW HIM THERE NOW, BUT THAT I DON'T CARE. WE JUST ADDED THEM. THAT CANNOT. IT IS ON THERE, I KNOW, AND IF YOU NOTICE, WE HIGHLIGHTED IT JUST BECAUSE I KNEW YOU LIKED THEM. YES, THAT WAS A GOOD PLUG. THERE YOU GO.
AND. THERE'S NO MOUNTAIN MOVING. TAQUITOS. I'M JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW, FOR A LESSER FEE, WE COULD CALL THAT THE RILEY TAQUITO. I LIKE THAT I HAD A DRINK THIS PAST WEEKEND.
EXACTLY. MAYBE EXACTLY HALF $1 MILLION. HEY, IT'S GOING TO DRAW YOU IN A HALF $1 MILLION, I GUARANTEE YOU THAT. THANK YOU, SIR. THAT CONCLUDES MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
RECOGNIZING MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN. THANK YOU. MAYOR. FIRST, I WANT TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEND OUT SOME THANK YOU'S AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE, ESPECIALLY WITH ME HAVING SERVED AS THE CHAIR OF THE LGC COMMITTEE THIS PAST YEAR. WE DID A LOT OF THINGS. I WANT TO SEND A BIG THANK YOU TO COUNCIL MEMBER FLOYD EMERY AND A BIG THANK YOU TO COUNCIL MEMBER JEFF BOWEN AND OF COURSE, TO THE STAFF. IT IS TRUE WE HAVE SPENT MONTHS WORKING ON THIS AND EVERY CURVE THAT WE WORKED ON THIS. OUR MEETINGS DID NOT LAST FOR ONE HOUR. OFTENTIMES WE WERE THERE FOR TWO, ALMOST THREE HOURS AND OUR TOTAL FOCUS WAS CREATING REVENUE, REVENUE, REVENUE. THERE WERE MEETINGS AND TIMES WHERE WE REALIZED THAT WE WERE NOT GOING TO AGREE TO DISAGREE, BUT THAT WE WERE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT SO THAT THIS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CORPORATION, WHICH IS INDEED OUR GOLF, WOULD INDEED BECOME PROFITABLE FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS, OUR LGC HAS INDEED RELIED ON THE SUBSIDY FROM THE
[00:55:04]
GENERAL FUND OF THE MISSOURI CITY OF OUR GENERAL FUND HERE FROM MISSOURI CITY. I WANT TO THANK DONNIE HAYES AND LAURA BYRNE, BECAUSE THEY STARTED US OUT WITH THIS PROCESS, BECAUSE ONCE THIS PARTICULAR LGC COMMITTEE TOOK SEAT AT THE TABLE, WE DIDN'T HAVE A SERGIO SALAZAR. BUT DONNIE HAYES HAD STEPPED UP AND WAS SERVING AS THE INTERIM GM. THEY ALLOWED THIS COMMITTEE TO GO IN AND UNCOVER AND PULL BANDAIDS OFF OF THINGS THAT WERE TECHNICALLY BLEEDING US TO DEATH, AND FROM THERE WE WERE ABLE TO DIVE. I MEAN, WE DOVE INTO THINGS THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'D EVER BEEN DOVE INTO BEFORE. FOR ME, HURRICANE BURRELL CAME IN AND IT YOU KNOW, THEY SAY, TAKE A LEMON AND MAKE LEMONADE. AND WE DID JUST THAT. HURRICANE BURRELL GAVE US THE TIP OF WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO TO EVEN BE ABLE TO GIVE MORE OF AN EXPANSION AND TO CREATE EVEN MORE OF A WAY FOR US TO GENERATE INCOME. WE TOOK THAT HURRICANE BOROUGH AS AN OPPORTUNITY, AND WE LOOKED AT PLANS. WE SAT OVER IN THE DUST AND BATTLED IT OUT, TALKED ABOUT IT, FIGURED OUT HOW WE CAN MAKE BATHROOMS BETTER INSIDE OF THE FACILITY.IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE WHO RENT OUR FACILITY THAT THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE RECEIVING THE VALUE FOR WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR IN TERMS OF FUNDING. SO DID WE LOOK AT THE BRIDAL SUITE? ABSOLUTELY WE DID. DID THE GUYS ALLOW ME A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO REALLY TALK ABOUT BATHROOMS AND WHAT WAS CRITICAL AND WHAT WAS IMPORTANT? YES THEY DID. DID I ALLOW FLOYD EMORY TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAD A DECENT UNDERSTANDING OF GOLF? AND DID JEFF BONEY COME IN AND MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTOOD DOLLARS AND CENTS AND ABOUT GETTING THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT? SO, ABSOLUTELY, WE UNDERSTAND THAT IN FORWARD YEAR 2026 THERE WILL BE A LOSS. WE ARE WE KNOW WE ARE PLANNING FOR IT. THE REASON WHY THERE WILL BE A LOSS, BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST YEAR THAT YOU WILL EVER SEE A LOSS. 2026. WE KNOW THAT THE GOLF. WE WON'T HAVE TWO GOLF COURSES UP AND RUNNING. WE WILL NOT HAVE THE FULL USE OF OUR ENTIRE CITY CENTER BECAUSE IT'S STILL UNDER RENOVATION. BUT WHAT I AM COMMITTED TO SEEING HAPPEN IS RIGHT AFTER WE GET EVERYTHING OPEN AND WE ARE READY TO GO. AND YOU CAN DO THIS. I KNOW YOU CAN, I KNOW I CAN, I KNOW YOU CAN BY MARCH. IT'S NO DOUBT TO ME THAT YOU WILL SEE NOTHING BUT PROFITS HITTING EVERY MONTH. WE HAD TO MOVE AWAY FROM THAT. THIS IS AN ENTERPRISE FUND, AND THE OLD ADAGE OF IT REALLY DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE MONEY BECAUSE IT DOES. IT IS IMPORTANT. WE ARE SITTING HERE AT A PIVOTAL TIME IN OUR COMMUNITY WHERE OUR PROPERTY TAXES ARE EXPENSIVE, MORE SO BECAUSE OF VALUE. AND I'VE ALWAYS SAID DURING OUR ENTIRE BUDGET PROCESS THIS YEAR FOR FORWARD YEAR 2026, Y'ALL HANG ON BECAUSE THE LGC IS ON THE WAY. SO IN TERMS OF HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET A RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENT, WE'RE GOING TO BE WATCHING THAT EVERY MONTH ON OUR LGC COMMITTEE, AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING. WE USE THE WORD CONSTANTLY IN OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS. AND THAT WORD WAS CALLED PIVOT. IF IT'S NOT WORKING, WE ARE PREPARED TO PIVOT SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS. UNDER THE. IN OUR LGC, WE LOOKED AT EVERYTHING. WE WALKED THROUGH THE EXPENSES, WE LOOKED AT COST CONTROLS. WE LOOKED AT INTERNAL CONTROLS, FOOD TASTES, SPOILAGE EVENTS, GOLF COURSE PRICING AND A REDUCTION IN PRO SHOP ITEMS AND SPECIAL ORDERING. WHAT I LOVE THE MOST ABOUT WHAT WE DID IN RETURN IN REGARDS TO OUR PRO SHOP IS THAT YES, WE STILL OFFER THE IDEA OF PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE GOLF CLUBS FROM US, BUT HOWEVER IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY NOW, WE DON'T HAVE THEM SITTING IN STOCK ANYMORE. THEY COME IN, THEY GET FITTED AND THE GOLF COURSE, THE GOLF CLUBS ARE THEN ORDERED FOR, FOR THEM TO HAVE FOR THEIR OWN USE. WE EVEN HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE GOLF SIMULATION. WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT ADDING A GOLF SIMULATION ROOM.
MY COLLEAGUES AND I TOOK THAT GOLF SIMULATION ROOM AND WE LOOKED AT VALUE VERSUS PROFIT AND WHAT COULD REALLY DO IT. AND WHAT WAS BIRTHED FROM THAT WAS THE EXPANSION OF THE BAR.
AND, I MEAN, WE BLEW THE WALLS OFF OF IT, WHICH WE ALREADY KNEW. THAT'S WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT BEFORE WE KNEW THAT THOSE WALLS WERE GOING TO BLOW OFF, WE LOOKED AT DOLLARS AND CENTS, AND I WANT TO SEND A THANK YOU OUT TO MY JENNIFER IN THE AUDIENCE BECAUSE COUNCIL MEMBER BONEY SAID, IT'S ALWAYS FUN HAVING A PARTY AROUND THE BAR. WE LIKE WHEN PEOPLE ARE
[01:00:04]
HAVING A PARTY, AND SHE HELPED US TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A DOLLAR VALUE AND A COST THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH JUST HAVING PEOPLE HANGING OUT AT THE BAR THAT WE NEED THEM HAVING A GOOD TIME. WE HAVE TO ELEVATE THE EXPERIENCE AND MAKE THEM WANT TO COME TO THAT BAR AT ALL TIMES. THE $15 MILLION RENOVATION. THANK YOU FOR TOUCHING ON THAT. COUNCIL MEMBER O'DEKIRK. YES, THE 2021 BOND. IT WASN'T DESIGNED TO JUST SAY, HEY, LET'S MAKE THIS GOLF COURSE. NO, IT WAS DESIGNED SO WE COULD FLOOD IT. AND I MEAN FLOODED AND FLOODED HARD IF WE HAVE TO. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING WITH LAND THAT IS CITY OWNED.AND THAT'S TO PROTECT NOT ONLY THE HOUSES IN QUAIL VALLEY, BUT IT ALSO IT WILL EXPAND TO GO ACROSS TO MANY SUBDIVISIONS. THAT AREA. WE NEED TO HAVE IT FLOOD AND THAT'S FINE. IT'S DESIGNED FOR THAT. I DO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK THE CITIZENS. THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE A THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT THAT LIVE ON THE GOLF COURSE FOR YOUR PATIENCE. A QUESTION WAS ASKED EARLIER, DID WE HAVE MEETINGS AND DID WE SIT DOWN AND HEAR FROM CITIZENS IN REGARDS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON? OH YEAH, THEY BEAT US UP AND BEAT US PRETTY BADLY BECAUSE THEY WERE UPSET WITH HOW WE WERE MOVING DIRT AND WE WEREN'T TAKING MOUNDS DOWN LOW ENOUGH OR FAST ENOUGH. BUT WE WENT AND WE LISTENED TO THEM AND WE ENSURED THAT WE WOULD GET GET IT TAKEN CARE OF. SO I'M I'M PRETTY PROUD OF THAT. THANK YOU. SERGIO, FOR ONCE YOU CAME ABOARD, YOU WERE WILLING TO GO IN AND TALK WITH THOSE RESIDENTS AND THOSE NEIGHBORS.
WE HAD A COUPLE OF MEETINGS OVER AT THE TENNIS AND REC CENTER, WHERE WE LET THEM COME IN AND JUST GET THEIR GRIEVANCES OUT. COUNCIL MEMBER RILEY, I ASKED ABOUT YOUR TAQUITOS ON ON LAST WEEK AND MADE SURE THAT YOUR TAQUITOS WERE GOING TO GET THERE. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE PLACE THE SLIDE ON THE SAMPLE LUNCH MENU, PLEASE. AND I'M ALMOST DONE. I'M ALMOST DONE. THE ONE THING THAT JENNIFER HER SPECIALTY IS IT'S DEFINITELY FOOD. SHE HELPED US UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE DOING WITH FOOD AND DOING WITH MENUS IN ORDER FOR US TO HELP MOVE THINGS. SHE EXPLAINED TO US THAT THE GREEK SALAD THAT YOU SEE THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED ON THE RIGHT, IT HASN'T BEEN VERY POPULAR. SO SHE'S ABLE TO COME IN AND REDESIGN THESE TYPES OF MENUS. AND WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE MENU ITEM, SHE'LL HIGHLIGHT IT TO SEE IF MAYBE IT WILL GRAB THE ATTENTION OF PEOPLE TO SEE IF WE CAN MOVE IT. THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WITH THE IDEAS OF US PIVOTING. SO SHE'S IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THAT THE GREEK SALAD JUST ISN'T WORKING. ANOTHER THING THAT JENNIFER HAS DONE AND AND UNDER OUR LEADERSHIP, WHERE WE'VE DEFINITELY AGREED WITH HER ON, IS THAT WE ARE NOW DESIGNING MENUS THAT CAN BE CERTAIN FOOD ITEMS CAN BE CREATED TO USE AND MAKE A MULTITUDE OF THINGS. RIGHT. AND THAT THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE CONTROL COST. SO ALWAYS WHEN YOU GUYS WALK IN AND IF YOU GUYS ARE EATING, THAT'S JUST A LITTLE TIDBIT FOR YOU GUYS. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING ON THE MENU THAT HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED, THAT'S PROBABLY AN ITEM THAT'S ON THE WAY OUT OF THE DOOR. WELL IT'S TRUE. TWO MORE COMMENTS AND I WILL YIELD. CAN WE GO TO THE SLIDE WITH THE NAMES OF THE LOGOS PLEASE? THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT MY COLLEAGUES AND I WORKED ON FROM DAY ONE, THAT THAT WE WALKED IN THROUGH THE DOOR. IT TOOK US A WHILE TO GET HERE, AND WE DID EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE HAD HEARD. SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS SAY THAT THEY WOULD, THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE. WE ALSO HAD TO GIVE FAVOR OVER TO SERGIO SALAZAR ONCE HE CAME IN AND BROUGHT HIS GOLF EXPERIENCE IN, HE TOOK US AND WALKED US THROUGH HOW GOLF COURSES OPERATE, THE VALUE OF WHAT'S IN A NAME, AND THE VALUE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NAME IS CHANGED. AND I'M HOPING, SERGIO, THAT YOU WILL TOUCH ON THAT ONCE WE GET HEAVIER INTO THE CONVERSATION ABOUT NAME CHANGES AND REALLY WHAT THAT MEANS, AND THE VALUE OF THE PERCEPTION OF WHAT A BRIDE SEES, WE'VE TAKEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN OUR PAST WITH REGARDS TO OUR EVENTS THAT HAD OCCURRED HERE, AND WHAT WE LEARNED IS THAT WE WERE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30 AND 50% UNDERVALUED WITH BECAUSE WE WERE JUST MISSING OPPORTUNITIES. WE'VE LEARNED THAT CONTENT CREATION IS A MUST, MUST HAVE.
WE HAVE TO GET OUR GOOGLE. WE NEED TO BE NUMBER ONE, NUMBER TWO UP ON THE SPOT THERE, AND WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE. BUT IT'S ALL IN A NAME. I'LL CLOSE WITH THIS. SERGIO, YOU KNOW
[01:05:06]
GOLF YOU KNOW PROFITS. I THANK YOU FOR COMING ABOARD. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO NOT TEAR APART WHAT WE HAD ALREADY BEGAN. BUT YOU JUMPED STRAIGHT IN TO. AND YOU COULD SEE WHERE IT IS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO GO. AND YOU PROVIDED US WITH A STEADFAST HAND OF SHOWING US WAYS TO MAKE MONEY. WE'VE TESTED THE RATES, WE'VE TESTED EVERYTHING INSIDE OF THAT COMMITTEE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BUDGET AND THE PROFORMA THAT WE'RE PROVIDING TO COME OUT TO YOU GUYS IN 2027, WE MADE SURE THAT THAT STUFF WOULD STICK. AND LASTLY, OUR WORD IS PIVOT.IF IT'S NOT WORKING, WE ARE PREPARED AS A COMMITTEE TO GO BACK IN AND PIVOT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM OR BOARD MEMBER. BROWN MARSHALL, VICE CHAIR. VERY GOOD POINTS. I WANT TO STAY HERE BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST POINT WITH THESE LOGOS. I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M VISIONING THE GOLF BALL THAT'S ON THE FIRST ONE INSIDE OF THE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB IN MISSOURI CITY. AND REMOVING THE BIRDS. I MEAN, I KNOW THAT WOULD BE ADDING A FOURTH ONE, BUT I WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO I LIKE THE GOLF BALL. I LOVE THE GOLF BALL CONCEPT INSIDE OF OF THERE. BUT THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT THAT I WOULD SAY I WOULD CHANGE. BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS CITY MANAGER, YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A SURVEY TO GO OUT TO RESIDENTS ABOUT THE RATES. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD KNOW WE GOT TO GO TONIGHT. WE WE HAVE TO DECIDE THIS TONIGHT TO SO WE CAN PAINT IT. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO HOLD THE CONTRACTOR FOR FINALIZING THE BUILDING. THAT'S THAT'S THE URGENCY WITH WITH GETTING THE THE NAME OF THE BUILDING. OKAY. SO THERE'S TWO THINGS. THERE'S THE NAME OF THE BUILDING. IF YOU GO TO THE SLIDE WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT. SO IF YOU IF YOU NOTICE THAT IS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE, THE MISSOURI CITY. WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT, THE SUN. WHATEVER. YEAH. THAT AT THE TOP. AND THEN WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE WHATEVER WE'RE GOING TO CALL THE FACILITY AND WHATEVER THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. WE NEED TO HAVE THAT SO THAT THEY CAN FINISH PAINTING OKAY. OTHERWISE THAT TONIGHT. SO WE CAN'T TAKE THAT OUT TO OKAY. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THAT WAS MENTIONED AT THE LAST COMMITTEE MEETING BY COUNCIL MEMBER BONEY SUGGESTED THAT. BUT DUE TO THE TIME CONSTRAINTS, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE FEASIBLE. OKAY. NO PROBLEM. AND THEN YOU ANSWERED, I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT HAVE Y'ALL THOUGHT ABOUT A SIMULATOR OR ADDITIONAL. BUT YOU ANSWERED THAT QUESTION AND THE DOLLARS AND CENTS DIDN'T DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. SO OKAY, SO THOSE ARE MY TWO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER. THANK YOU MAYOR. SOMEHOW I WAS IN THE QUEUE AND THEN I DROPPED DOWN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT ANYWAY, I'M BACK. I JUST WANTED TO ASK. I KNOW YOU SAID A DECISION TO BE MADE. DO WE NEED TO DO A VOTE YES ON THAT? OR IS IT JUST YOU NEED DIRECTION BY JUST GIVING US. I WOULD LIKE A VOTE BECAUSE JUST TO HAVE IT ON RECORD. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO GO WITH THE NAME. WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS AND THE COMMITTEE. AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE THREE LOGOS. THAT WAS THAT WAS JOJI. SERGIO WAS VERY CRAFTY. HE PRESENTED THREE NAMES AND ONE LOGO. AND I SAID, NO, YOU KNOW. BUT ANYWAY, I KNOW WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT IT A LOT. AND I KNOW IT WAS ASKED BY VICE CHAIR BROWN MARSHALL ABOUT THE EXPLANATION ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF A NAME, BUT I KNOW THAT WE TALKED ABOUT QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. I, TOO, THOUGHT THAT WE, YOU KNOW, HAD TALKED ABOUT MISSOURI CITY BEING A PART OF IT, AND I REALLY LIKE IT A WHOLE LOT. BUT I THINK THAT THE CLEANNESS OF QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB IN THE NAME IS WHAT WE DISCUSSED AS A COMMITTEE AND CAME OUT UNANIMOUSLY WITH THAT. SO MY MOTION IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. OKAY.
RECOGNIZING I'LL MAKE THAT SECOND. HE PUT A MOTION ON THE TABLE. I DIDN'T DISCUSS IT. I PUT IT IN THE OH, OKAY, WE'RE VOTING ON IT NOW. THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND. CAN YOU HOLD ON THAT MOTION TILL THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE DISCUSS? YES, THERE SHOULD BE DISCUSSION AFTER THE MOTION. OKAY. SO IT'S BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBER BONEY, ARE YOU DONE? YES. ALL RIGHT. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER EMERY. YEAH. COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE.
[01:10:04]
THE PICTURE WITH THE LOGO WITH ON THE THE TOWER. THERE YOU GO. CURRENTLY. IS THAT LOGO UP ON TOP, DOES THAT SAY QUAIL VALLEY NOW OR DOES IT SAY MISSOURI CITY. IT SAYS MISSOURI CITY. IT SAYS MISSOURI CITY, DOESN'T IT. RIGHT. SO I'M NOT. HERE'S MY POINT. WE ALWAYS HAD A DISCUSSION OF IS QUAIL VALLEY BELONGING TO QUAIL VALLEY OR MISSOURI CITY? WELL, IT'S A MISSOURI CITY AMENITY IS LOCATED IN QUAIL VALLEY. AND SO TO ME, LEAVING THE SUNRISE AND THE NAME MISSOURI, MISSOURI CITY ON THAT TOWER, ON THAT PARTICULAR PART OF THE LOGO, I THINK BRINGS UP THROUGH AND ACROSS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH RECOGNIZING, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE GOLF COURSE AND THE EVENT CENTER. AND THEN ON ON THE BOTTOM WHERE IT SAYS QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. I AGREE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PROVIDES US WITH THIS IS IN THIS IS QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. SO I KNOW THERE'S A A. MOTION THAT TO ACT UPON. BUT I'M I'M CONCERNED THAT WE'RE ACTING UPON SOMETHING THAT WELL I CAN I CAN ALWAYS VOTE AGAINST IT.BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT TO ATTENTION TO EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION THAT WHAT'S ON THIS TOWER IS REALLY NOT WHAT'S OUT THERE. NOW. THAT'S THAT'S A CHANGE. AND I DON'T THINK THE CHANGE SHOULD BE MADE. I THINK THAT SHOULD STILL SAY MISSOURI CITY ON THAT TOWER, BECAUSE THIS IS A MISSOURI CITY AMENITY. IT'S HAPPENS TO BE IN THE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB, WHICH IS RECOGNIZED DOWN BELOW. SO I MEAN, I, I DON'T KNOW. SO SO CITY MANAGER, I'M JUST CURIOUS I'M SORRY, I, I THOUGHT, ARE WE MAKING TWO DIFFERENT DECISIONS OR ARE WE MAKING ONE. IS IT ABOUT THE NAME AND LOGO OR IS IT ABOUT THE BUILDING? BOTH. SO IS IT TWO SEPARATE? IT CAN BE THE SAME. AND ACTUALLY I'LL DEFER TO SERGIO IN TERMS OF WE JUST DESIGNED THESE IN A WAY THAT WE KIND OF PICTURED THE LOGO. BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY IT COULDN'T STAY MISSOURI CITY. WE FELT AS STAFF THAT HAVING MISSOURI CITY AND THE CITY EMBLEM IS REDUNDANT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT THE WHAT WHAT SUN'S SUN RAYS RESEMBLES MISSOURI CITY. THAT'S YOU SEE THAT THROUGHOUT NEWQUEST PROPERTIES. YOU SEE THAT ON EVERYTHING. THAT'S WHY WE PROVIDED THE INFORMATION FROM THE OTHER PUBLIC GOLF COURSES. NONE OF THEM HAVE MISSOURI. I MEAN, NONE OF THEM HAVE THE NAME. MAYBE ONE HAS IT HAS THAT LOCATION AS A PART OF THE GOLF COURSE FACILITY. IT'S EVIDENT THAT IT'S IN MISSOURI CITY, BECAUSE WE'RE TAGGING IT WITH OUR LOGO THAT WE PUT ON ALL OF OUR FACILITIES. WELL, THE REASON I'M ASKING THAT IS BECAUSE WE, AS A COMMITTEE, UNANIMOUSLY STATED AS A RECOMMENDATION THAT IT WOULD BE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. RIGHT. AND WE JUST I'M JUST ASKING, ARE WE MAKING TWO SEPARATE DECISIONS OR ONE? IT'S ONE. AND SO MY MOTION IS ABOUT THE NAME AND THE LOGO, NOT THE BUILDING ITSELF. SO IF THERE'S A DISAGREEMENT WITH THE NAME BEING QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB, I'M OKAY WITH THAT. I JUST KNOW THAT AS A COMMITTEE, THAT'S WHAT WE WERE RECOMMENDING. AS, YOU KNOW, THE THREE PEOPLE. SO IT OKAY. GO AHEAD. YEAH, YEAH. YES. MY RECOLLECTION WAS THAT THE LOGO THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS TO BE SHOWN ON THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF THE, OF THE BUILDING. I'M NOT SURE THAT WE EVER GOT INTO THE DISCUSSION THAT WE WANTED TO CHANGE THE LOGO THAT WAS ON THE TOWER, I THINK, FROM MY RECOLLECTION, IS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FACILITY IS RECOGNIZED AS. MISSOURI CITY. IT'S BELONGS TO MISSOURI CITY. IT'S JUST HAPPENS THAT IT'S IN QUAIL VALLEY. AND WE'VE GOT QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB AND TWO GOLF COURSES. SO, YOU KNOW, I WOULD BE OPEN TO AMENDING MY MOTION TO BE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB IN MISSOURI CITY IF THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. BUT I'M JUST SAYING AS A COMMITTEE, THAT'S WHAT WE DECIDED ON. BUT I'M OKAY WITH MAKING AN AMENDMENT IF THAT'S THE WILL OF
[01:15:03]
CLARIFICATION. DO YOU THINK THAT WE TALKED ABOUT CHANGING THE TOWER, THE NAME ON THE TOWER? WE TALKED ABOUT THE NAME AND BEING QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. THAT'S ALL I'M SPEAKING ON THE NAME AND THE LOGO AS FAR AS THE BUILDING, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING IS, ARE THESE TWO SEPARATE THINGS THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING? BECAUSE MY MOTION IS STRICTLY WAS WAS STRICTLY FOR THE NAME AND THE LOGO, NOT THE MISSOURI CITY BEING KEPT OR WHATEVER. BUT I'M OKAY WITH THE NAME BEING QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB IN MISSOURI CITY, IF THAT'S THE WILL OF THE BODY. DO YOU MIND, COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY. SO THAT'S THE CURRENT LOGO THAT THAT WAS THERE. THAT'S THE I, I CAN'T SEE IT, BUT IT SAYS MISSOURI CITY. YEAH. THE SUNRISE. AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THE QUAIL VALLEY LOGO. IT HAS THE MISSOURI CITY. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK BECAUSE I SEE COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY, CAN YOU FINISH YOUR THOUGHT THEN. THEN IT SAYS COUNCIL MEMBER BONY ON HERE. YEAH OKAY. GO AHEAD AND FINISH. FINISH WHAT YOU HAD. NO, I NEEDED THAT ANSWERED. MY QUESTION IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DO MY RECOLLECTION WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS, WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT CHANGING WHAT'S ON THE TOWER. OKAY. MY RECOLLECTION WAS THAT, HEY, IT'S UP THERE AS MISSOURI CITY. IT'S GOT THE. LOGO, THE SUNRISE, AND IT HAS MISSOURI CITY, I THINK RIGHT NOW. AND I DIDN'T SEE, YOU KNOW, REMOVING THAT BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS WE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO IS MAKE SURE PEOPLE IN MISSOURI CITY KNOW THAT THIS BELONGS TO MISSOURI CITY, IT DOESN'T BELONG TO QUAIL VALLEY. AND I THINK IF YOU PUT THAT UP THERE ON THE TOP, YOU GIVE AN IMPRESSION TO PEOPLE, HEY, THIS IS A QUAIL VALLEY CENTER. IT'S NOT. IT'S MISSOURI CITY CENTER. AND SO THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT WHAT WAS UP THERE ON THE TOWER WAS APPROPRIATE. LEAVE THAT ALONE. AND WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS THE NAME CHANGE AND THE LOGO TO PUT ON THE, THE FRONT ENTRANCE, AND THAT WAS GOING TO BE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER BONEY, ARE YOU ARE YOU BACK ON. NO I WASN'T, BUT WHAT ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING. SO IT'S NOT COUNCILMEMBER BONEY AND I WAS NEXT. YES. SO BUT IT'S NOT NOT ACCORDING TO THIS. SHOWS UP ON MY END. I'M NOT. IT JUST IT JUST WASN'T. OKAY. SO I GUESS I'LL JUMP INTO THE NAME THING JUST FROM THING. I LIKE THE NAME VALLEY GOLF CLUB THE WAY THAT ON SLIDE 22, IF WE CAN GO TO SLIDE 22, LEAVE IT ALONE. SO IT'D BE KNOWN AS QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. BUT I GUESS THE WAY I'M UNDERSTANDING FROM COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY'S QUESTION IS THE TOWER JUST HAS THE SUN RAY. IF IT SAYS MISSOURI CITY, WE'RE NOT INCORPORATING THAT INTO LITERATURE OR INTO SOCIAL MEDIA OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AT LEAST THAT TOWER HAS THE SUN RAY WITH MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS ON IT. BUT THE WAY SLIDE 22, WHERE YOU WALK IN, IT SHOWS VALLEY GOLF CLUB. SO BLAME IT ON JOB. NO, NO. WELL, I GUESS WHAT I'M I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THE NAME ON ALL THE LITERATURE ON EVERYWHERE THAT YOU POST FOR BRIDES, FOR, YOU KNOW, WHOEVER IT IS IS GOING TO SAY VALLEY GOLF CLUB. BUT WHEN YOU GET TO THE SITE, ACTUALLY PHYSICAL SITE, WHEN YOU SEE THAT TOWER, IT JUST SHOWS WHATEVER OUR TYPICAL LOGO THAT WE HAVE THAT SAYS MISSOURI CITY, RIGHT. TEXAS ON IT. SO, SO EXACTLY LIKE, WHAT'S THAT ON THAT PODIUM RIGHT THERE, SERGIO, IN FRONT OF YOU. YES. SO THAT SO WE'RE NOT SAYING IT'S MISSOURI CITY VALLEY GOLF CLUB. IT'S JUST THAT SO PEOPLE KNOW THAT THIS IS MISSOURI CITY FACILITY. I MEAN THAT'S JUST MY, MY MY SUGGESTION. SO I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. RIGHT. SO IF TO MAKE THIS CLEAR, IF WE COULD ONLY FOCUS ON THE ENTRYWAY AND USE THAT AS THE LOGO, THAT'S WHAT THE LOGO IS. WE'LL LEAVE THE THE WHAT'S THERE. THE SAME. WE WON'T HAVE A QUAIL OR ANYTHING UP THERE OTHER THAN WHAT'S THERE NOW.OKAY. SO THAT IS JUST IT'S NOT GOING TO BE REFERENCED AS ANYTHING. THE THE NAME WILL BE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB OKAY. AND WE WILL NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THAT AT ALL OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATION OF IT'S LOCATED IN THE CITY. SO ON SLIDE 21 IF YOU CAN GO TO SLIDE 21. SO THESE ARE THE THREE NAMES THAT THE COMMITTEE CAME BACK WITH. NO, THAT'S THE STAFF IS PROPOSING THOSE THREE TO WHO TO THE TO THE COMMITTEE OR TO THE STAFF. TO THE TO THE BOARD. WHAT WAS THE DISCUSSED IN THE COMMITTEE. THEY ONLY HAD THE NAMES WITHOUT THE LOGO. OKAY. BUT THE ITEMS THAT WAS CAME BACK FROM THE COMMITTEE WAS WHAT? QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB OKAY, SO QUAIL
[01:20:02]
VALLEY GOLF CLUB WAS THE THE THE UNDERSTANDING FROM THE COMMITTEE. YES. SO SO THEN I GUESS WE'LL VOTE ON IT WITH THE MOTION. BUT I'M, I'M OKAY WITH THE VALLEY GOLF CLUB. BUT IF WE CAN ACCORDING TO THAT, IF WE CAN HAVE SOMEWHERE THAT BUILDING THAT SHOWS WE JUST WON'T CHANGE. WE JUST WON'T CHANGE THE COLUMN. THE COLUMN WILL STAY AS IS, BUT EVERYWHERE ON YOUR LITERATURE, ON WHAT YOU PUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ALL OF THAT. IT'LL SAY QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB, RIGHT? BUT WHEN YOU GET TO THE BUILDING, YOU SEE THAT IT SAYS MISSOURI CITY ON IT. SO IF SOMEONE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT OR WHAT WHO, WHO IT BELONGS TO, RIGHT.YOU'LL SEE THAT IT SAYS MISSOURI CITY. YEAH, THAT'S EVEN ON THE ELEVATOR APP. RIGHT.
AND I HOPE THE MOTION WOULD COME THAT WAY. BUT ANYWAY, LET ME MOVE ON TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT I HAD INITIALLY HAD QUESTIONS. I KNOW WHEN THE HURRICANE BARREL HIT, THERE WERE. PROBABLY 50 CLOSE TO 50 PLUS, IF NOT UNDER, MAYBE A LITTLE UNDER STAFF. THAT WAS WAS OUT FROM THAT FACILITY. SO WHAT'S OUR PLAN TO BRING THOSE BACK OR ARE YOU FILLING IT AS NEEDED, OR ARE THOSE POSITIONS ARE NOT EVEN OPEN OR ARE THEY VACANT? WE'RE FILLING IN AS NEEDED. AND WE BROUGHT BACK SEVERAL. I THINK WE BROUGHT BACK EVERYBODY WHO'S WHO WAS THERE PREVIOUSLY WHO WANTED TO COME BACK. OKAY. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT THAT WAS A CONCERN AT THAT TIME BECAUSE OF THE HURRICANE BARREL, WE I MEAN, WE WERE NOT OPERATIONAL. SO THERE WAS A, A LONG TERM EMPLOYEES OR STAFF THAT WAS THERE THAT WAS LET GO. AND SEVERAL SEVERAL HAVE COME BACK. ALL RIGHT. SO THE THE RATES, THE GOLF RATES I KNOW I'VE SEEN IT ON THE SCREEN WITH THE 20 SITES. 12. SO WHAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ARE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE. IF YOU GO BACK THE OTHER ONE PROBABLY BE EASIER BECAUSE THAT THERE THAT'S WHAT'S THAT'S WHAT I RECOMMENDED. YES. NO, I MEAN I'M ASKING WHAT WAS THE COMMITTEE'S TAKE. I MEAN FEEDBACK WAS THE RATES THAT YOU'RE SEEING ON PAGE 11, WERE THE RATES THAT THE COMMITTEE IN YELLOW OR THAT'S JUST A THE SAME THING. THAT'S A COMPARISON SHOWING THE CURRENT RATES AND THE PROPOSED RATES. SO IT RELATES TO SURROUNDING AREAS. SO THESE WERE THE RATES THAT WAS VETTED BY THE THE VETTED BY THE COMMITTEE. RIGHT. ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. SO WHEN THE COMMITTEE VETTED IT, THEY LOOKED AT SLIDE 12, WHICH WAS COMPARING TO ALL THE OTHER CITIES. AND THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING, RIGHT? SO OBVIOUSLY IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE WITH THE SURVEY ON THE RATES. WE'RE ASKING FOR FEEDBACK. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT WE ALWAYS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IS WHEN WE REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND ASK FOR FEEDBACK ON ANY PRESENTATION THAT WE HAVE, IT'S THAT IT'S FEEDBACK. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK IN GOING INTO THE ASSUMPTIONS AND GOING INTO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PRICE OUT THESE RATES TO GENERATE THE BUDGET THAT WE'VE PRESENTED. SO TO SAY SOMEONE TO COME BACK AND SAY THE RATES ARE TOO HIGH, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO NEED TO GIVE US A PLAN OF HOW WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO COVER OUR EXPENSES IF WE CHANGE THOSE RATES, RIGHT. SO IT'S FEEDBACK, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE STILL HAVE TO MEET MULTIPLE OBJECTIONS, OBJECTIVES. AND ONE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO ENSURE THAT WE BREAK EVEN OR GET A PROFIT. OKAY. SO MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO CALL THE QUESTION, THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR RELATIVE TO THE NAME AND LOGO, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OR DISCUSSING THINGS THAT ARE NOT RELATIVE TO THE MOTION. OKAY. WHAT'S THE MOTION? THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE NAME QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB IN THE LOGO. I MAYOR, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE YOU CALLED THE QUESTION, SO.
RIGHT. NO, I MEAN NO. YOU CALL THE QUESTION BECAUSE I WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU CALLED THE QUESTION. SO THAT MEANS THERE'S A QUESTION ON THE TABLE. SO I'M SORRY. SO IT WAS CALLED SO WHO.
THERE'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER BOWEN. IS THAT YOUR SECOND. YES. SO SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN MARSHALL. AND HOW ARE WE VOTING. ARE YOU CALLING ROLL CALL OR ARE YOU ARE WE DOING THIS? NO, WE'RE DOING ELECTRIC ELECTRONICS. OKAY. CAN WE GET A CLARIFICATION THOUGH, BEFORE WE VOTE? CLARIFYING CLARIFICATION ON THE ON THE MOTION, PLEASE? YES, ON THE MOTION. ARE WE TALKING JUST ABOUT THE THE LOGO? WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S ON THE THE TOWER, THE CITY CENTER. I WOULD I WOULD ASK DON'T ASK ME. I WOULD ASK COUNCIL MEMBER WHAT THE MOTION. IT'S JUST THE LOGO AND THE NAME. I DON'T NECESSARILY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LOGO IS. THE LOGO THAT'S ON THE BUILDING IS NOT THE SAME AS THE LOGO IN THE
[01:25:06]
THREE OPTIONS. IT'S REMOVING THE SUN BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY ON THE BUILDING, BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY. I THINK SERGIO CAN SPEAK TO THAT. RIGHT? WHAT CITY MANAGER? YOU KNOW, A LOGO CAN WHENEVER THERE'S A LOGO, A LOT OF TIMES YOU JUST USE PARTIAL, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF SHIRTS YOU'LL SEE WITH JUST THE WORK, YOU CAN CALL IT A QUESTION, DO WE HAVE FURTHER COMMENT DISCUSSIONS. SO AFTER A QUESTION IS CALLED THERE SHOULD BE A VOTE ON THE QUESTION.THANK YOU. SO LET'S VOTE. GO AHEAD I'M SORRY. WHAT ARE WE VOTING ON? THE LOGO THE NAME AND THE NAME AND THE WELL VALLEY GOLF CLUB AND THE LOGO THAT'S LISTED. WHICH ONE? THE BOTTOM ONE. YES, YES. ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S GOING ON. SHIRTS. OKAY. THAT'S IT. I'M SORRY. WE GOT TO KNOW WHAT I'M VOTING ON I WOULD TOO. THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY. I MEAN, DO YOU MIND? I JUST CLARIFIED THAT WE'RE VOTING, THAT MY MOTION IS FOR QUAIL VALLEY GOLF. HOW ABOUT I MAKE IT SIMPLER? I AM MAKING A MOTION TO VOTE TO NAME THE FACILITY THE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. ONLY THE NAME I AM VOTING. I'M MAKING A MOTION FOR THE NAME QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB.
COUNCIL. COUNCIL MEMBER BOWEN. WILL THAT ALSO BE THE LOGO? I'M JUST SIMPLY RIGHT NOW MAKING A MOTION FOR THE NAME QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. OKAY, I'LL PULL THE SECOND. OKAY, SO IT'S BEEN A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER. BALONEY. THERE'S NO SECOND SO FAR. CAN WE PULL THAT? CAN WE PULL OUT OF THE SCREEN? OKAY. NOT HIS NAME, BUT. JUST ONE PERSON ALREADY STARTED OKAY. SO SO OKAY. HE HAS A HE HAS A NEW MOTION. OKAY. WHO WHO HAS A MOTION? COUNCILMEMBER.
COUNCILMEMBER. GO AHEAD. MY MOTION REMAINS THE SAME THAT THE NAME BE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. THAT'S FINE. OKAY. THERE'S BEEN A MOTION. IS THAT YOUR SECOND? THAT'S MY SECOND.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. LET'S VOTE. OKAY.
SO IT'S JUST A LOGO. NO, THIS IS JUST THE NAME. I MEAN, THE NAME. THE NAME. THIS IS JUST THE NAME. NO LOGOS, NO BUILDING, JUST THE NAME. WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE OF US THAT ARE IN THE QUEUE ABOUT THE NAME? WELL, I MEAN, WHEN YOU WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEONE, WHEN YOU HAVE A MEMBER OF COUNCIL THAT CALLS FOR A QUESTION, THAT MEANS THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSIONS.
WE GOT TO VOTE ON IT. UNLESS IF THERE'S NO SECOND THAT'S RECEIVED, THEN WE LOOK FOR ANOTHER MOTION. THIS IS OUR SECOND MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 1. SO THE NAME IS QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. GOLF CLUB OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO FURTHER BACK ON TO THE DISCUSSIONS OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO LET ME LET ME GO BACK TO WHAT I WAS INITIALLY TALKING ABOUT. AND I WOULD ASK MY COLLEAGUES TO BE RESPECTFUL, TO SEE IF EVERYONE ON THE QUEUE CAN GET DONE. AND THEN WE CAN MAKE THESE MOTIONS, BECAUSE IF WE JUMP AND MAKE THESE MOTIONS, AS COUNCILMEMBER RILEY ALLUDED TO, THERE MAY BE ANOTHER THING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE SAID THAT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY MADE ME THINK DIFFERENTLY OR LOOK AT IT DIFFERENTLY. SO IT'S JUST IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION. SO LET ME GO BACK TO WHAT I WAS JUST SAYING. SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE POSITIONING. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND THEN THE MARKETING STRATEGY STRATEGIES. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS WE HAVE NOT HAD A MARKETING, A GIVEN, A MARKETING STRATEGY OR AN AMOUNT THAT WAS PUT INTO THE BUDGET FOR MARKETING. AND I'VE HEARD IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS. IT WAS WITH THE PRO WAS A PRO GOLF, I MEAN PRO SHOP AND AND IT WAS DOING THIS.
SO ARE YOU WHEN YOU SAY MARKETING STRATEGIES, I HEARD SOMEONE ASK EARLIER TOO, IS THERE A BUDGET ALLOCATED TO IT OR WHAT THE STRATEGIES ARE? WHAT WHAT IS IT? NO SIR. WE'RE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING A MARKETING STRATEGY FOR THE GOLF FOR THE FACILITY NOW, THE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. WE WILL DEVELOP A MARKETING STRATEGY, WHICH INCLUDES HOW WE PLAN TO MARKET IT, HOW WHAT SOURCES WE PLAN TO USE, AND WE WILL COME UP WITH A COST ESTIMATE. IF THERE IS COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT, WE WILL COME UP WITH THAT. OKAY. SO THEN THAT'S FINE. SO
[01:30:02]
MY QUESTION IS WHEN YOU COME UP WITH IT THERE WILL BE A BUDGET. YEAH WE HAVE A BUDGET ALLOCATED FOR IT. YES. BECAUSE IN THE PAST YEARS THERE WAS REALLY NO BUDGET AND IT WAS JUST A HIT OR MISS. AND YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SERGIO AT LEAST THERE'S A ALLOCATION OF, I DON'T KNOW, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, WHATEVER IT IS FOR MARKETING. SO THIS WAY THAT AMOUNT IS SEPARATED OUT. THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT'S A PART OF THE GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. OKAY. AND THEN THERE WAS AND I'M JUST ASKING BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS LGC MEETING, THERE WERE A LOT OF COMMUNITY THAT GOT WORKED UP WITH FOOD VENDORS THAT WE WERE BUYING IT FROM SOMEBODY, AND THEN WE SWITCHED IT TO ANOTHER COMPANY AND THEN BACK AND FORTH. SO THERE'S A LOT OF CHATTER ABOUT ARE ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT YOU GUYS ARE CONTROLLING? YES, YES. ALL THAT'S BEEN WORKED THROUGH. OKAY. AND THE OUTSIDE FOOD OPTION, I WAS HERE WHEN THIS WAS DECIDED. COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY WAS HERE AT THAT TIME WHEN THIS GOLF COURSE WAS BUILT.THERE WAS A SOLE PROVIDER. THAT MEANS THAT NO ONE FROM ANY OTHER COMMUNITY OR OUTSIDE PEOPLE CAN BRING IN FOOD. THERE WAS NO OPTION FOR THAT. MEANING THAT YOU HAD TO TAKE IN THE YOU HAD TO PURCHASE THE FOOD THAT THAT VALLEY OFFERED. IF NOT, THE CLUB NOW WILL GO AND GET IT FROM SOMEWHERE AND THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL COST TO IT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT CONTRACT STILL IS IN PLACE OR ARE WE CHANGING THAT, OR WE'RE PROPOSING TO CHANGE THAT BECAUSE WE FOUND THAT WE'RE MISSING A NUMBER OF EVENTS BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE FOOD AT QUAIL VALLEY TO TO ADDRESS ALL THE VARIOUS CULTURAL CUISINES THAT ARE, THAT ARE REQUESTED.
SO WE WILL DO AN RFP TO GET WHAT WE DETERMINED TO BE KIND OF THE PRIMARY THINGS THAT THE THE CLUB CANNOT PROVIDE. AND THEN WE WILL BE LOOKING TO HAVE THOSE OUTSIDE CATERERS VETTED, AND WE WILL BRING THAT FORTH TO THE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW. OKAY. AND THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT ABOUT IT IS THE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT IN THE COMMUNITY, WE, WE, WE SAY THAT OURSELVES THAT WE'RE VERY PROUD OF OUR DIVERSITY. ABSOLUTELY. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, PEOPLE WERE NOT USING OUR, OUR FACILITY BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T BRING ANY OF THEIR OWN TYPE OF FOOD. RIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS. SO JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS EVENTS EVENT COORDINATOR OR I KNOW WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT POSITIONS. YES. AND THEN WE HAVE THE GOLF GOLF COURSE MANAGER. YES, I KNOW THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSIONS IN THE PAST ABOUT BRINGING SOME OF THESE POSITIONS INTO THE CITY, AND WE HAVE AND SO IS IT ALL EVERYBODY THAT WE'RE BRINGING OR HOW MANY PEOPLE SO FAR WE BROUGHT IN TWO. WE HAVE THE GENERAL MANAGER AND THE FINANCE MANAGER THAT ARE BOTH GENERAL FUND, GENERAL FUND. OKAY. SO IT'LL BE SO FINANCE MANAGER FOR THE GOLF COURSE.
FINANCE MANAGER EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE GOLF COURSE. OKAY. AND THEN THE GENERAL MANAGER OKAY. MY LAST COMMENT WAS THE OR ONE BEFORE IS CASH. PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO THESE FACILITIES, PAY CASH, NOT JUST CARD OR CREDIT CARD OR WHATEVER IT IS. DO WE HAVE THAT OPTION? WE DO HAVE THAT OPTION. THAT'S THE ONE OF THE VENUES THAT I'VE MADE SURE TO CREATE AN EXCEPTION FOR, AS THE CITY IS TRYING TO MOVE TO BE CASHLESS, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS THAT NEED THERE, AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
SO ALL THOSE AREAS, THE ONLY HOLD UP IS ME APPROVING THE INTERNAL CONTROLS THAT WE HAVE OVER THE CASH. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN I GUESS THIS ONE IS FOR THE GOLF COURSE MANAGER, THE LA QUINTA GOLF COURSE. I KNOW THAT WHILE WE WERE DOING THE DRAINAGE FOR IT THAT NOW CREATED, I THINK TEN OR 8 OR 7 OR NEW LAKES, 1111 LAKES, 11 LAKES INTO THAT THING. SO THERE'S BEEN SOME QUESTIONS THAT WAS ASKED FOR THE WHAT THE FLOW OF THE WATER. ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF WHAT IS IT CALLED DECORATIVE, THE FOUNTAIN OR LIGHTS OR, OR SOMETHING ON THOSE? OR IS THERE BECAUSE THERE WAS A HEAVY PRESENCE OF ALGAE THAT GREW WHEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH? I DON'T KNOW THAT STREET, BUT IT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE TREATED, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT BUT WHAT I WAS TOLD FROM THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVED THERE IS THAT BECAUSE THE WATER IS NOT MOVING AT ALL AND WE WEREN'T TREATING OR I'M NOT SURE IF WE WERE TREATING, IT STILL DIDN'T WORK. SO THEY ASKED IF THERE'S ANY PLANS MOVING IN THE FUTURE FOR THAT. AS OF NOW, THERE'S NO PLANS TO PUT FOUNTAINS IN THERE, BUT THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN AERATE THE WATER. AND TRUTHFULLY, MOST OF THE WATER THAT'S SHALLOW, THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE ALGAE WHEN IT'S NOT MOVING. BUT THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN YOU CAN MOVE THE
[01:35:05]
WATER. THE. THE FOUNTAINS ARE VERY POPULAR BECAUSE THEY'RE ALSO VERY PRETTY, BUT THEY'RE ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE. AND YOU HAVE TO FIND AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET. YOU GOT TO FIND ELECTRIC THAT'S NEARBY. IF THE ELECTRIC IS NOT NEARBY, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY COSTLY. I THINK ON EL DORADO WE HAVE TWO. ONE OF THEM WAS PUT IN BY A RESIDENT AT HIS OWN COST. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS OBVIOUSLY RIGHT THERE ON A LARGE LAKE. BUT YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EVALUATE IF IF THE LAKE IS TOO SHALLOW, IT'S GOING TO CREATE ALGAE, ESPECIALLY IN HEAT, UNLESS WE GET SOME KIND OF AERATION. SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT SOME KIND OF AERATION IN THE FUTURE TO KEEP THAT. AND MOSQUITOES. ALL RIGHT. THE LAST ONE IS I DID YOU KNOW DURING THE COMMENTS IT WAS MENTIONED THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS THROUGH COMMUNITY IMPACT OR, OR NEWSPAPER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO HOW ARE WE I GUESS? SERGIO, I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OF YOUR VIDEOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE GOLF COURSE AND WHAT'S COMING UP. SO WHAT'S YOUR PLAN FOR TO SHOWCASE WHAT WE'RE DOING CURRENTLY, WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHAT'S HAPPENING, WHAT'S BEEN APPROVED, WHAT'S GOING ON? SO WHAT IS THE PLAN? I MEAN, I THINK THOSE VIDEOS ARE REALLY GOOD. I MEAN, AT FIRST I DIDN'T LIKE THEM, BUT PEOPLE RESPOND VERY WELL TO THEM. I GET A LOT OF EMAILS ABOUT THEM, AND I GET A LOT OF, ESPECIALLY THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE NEARBY. WE HAD A LOT OF WE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH WEEDS GETTING TOO TALL NEAR THEIR FENCE LINE BECAUSE THE THE MAINTENANCE GUYS COULDN'T GET TOO CLOSE TO THEM, AND ALSO A LOT OF CONCERNS WITH DRAINAGE AND THOSE HAVE BEEN EMAILED TO ME. THEN I, YOU KNOW, I ADDRESS THEM WITH SHASHI AND I ADDRESS THEM WITH VINCENT. AND COUNCILMAN EMERY WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY'VE BEEN VERY VOCAL ABOUT BRINGING IT TO OUR ATTENTION. SO I THINK THAT'S HELPED QUITE A BIT. MY LAST THING IS THE CITY MANAGER, SINCE NOW WE WE VOTED ON THE CHANGE OF THE NAME. AND THEN AS THE EACH OF THESE ROOMS OPEN UP AND, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AND THEN THE GOLF COURSE, I THINK WE HAVE THREE NEWSPAPERS THAT'S OUT HERE. WE HAVE ONE THAT WE WORK WITH. THE CITY'S CONTRACTED, PERHAPS INSTEAD OF JUST OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN, WE NEEDED TO PROBABLY WORK WITH SOMEBODY WHO'S A MANAGER OF THE OF THE COMMUNICATIONS TO START WORKING WITH OUR LOCAL APPROVED, CITY APPROVED NEWSPAPER OR WHOEVER IT IS. START PUTTING THESE OUT THERE AS AN ARTICLE.AND THEY USUALLY DON'T CHARGE BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR NEWS. SO THIS WAY THAT WE NEEDED TO START PROMPTING THESE OUT THERE SO PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON, BECAUSE WE'RE THINKING THAT EVERYBODY'S PROBABLY LOOKING AT OUR CITY MISSOURI CITY SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE, AND THEY PROBABLY ARE NOT. BUT ADDITIONALLY, THAT'S THAT'S ACTUALLY PART OF OUR COMMUNICATION PLAN. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THE WAYS THAT WE LOOK AT A MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET INFORMATION OUT, ONE BEING THE HOA'S GENERALLY, WHEN ANYTHING IS GOING ON WITH ANY OF OUR FACILITIES, WE TRY TO PUSH THAT INFORMATION TO THE HOA SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE AND THEY CAN LET WHOEVER THEIR RESIDENTS ARE KNOW OF WHAT'S GOING ON. SO IT'S A MATTER OF US REALLY DEFINING THAT COMMUNICATION PLAN. WE NEEDED TO KNOW THE NAME BEFORE WE START PUSHING IT OUT. SO THAT'S CRITICAL. BUT WE WILL DEVELOP THAT COMMUNICATION PLAN THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ENTITIES AND WAYS. YEAH. AND THEN I THINK IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE THAT HOA LIAISON POSITION. IT HASN'T BEEN IT'S BEEN VACANT FOR A LONG TIME. BUT THAT THAT'S IN THE WORKS. RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER O'DEKIRK. OKAY. SO ARE WE STILL DISCUSSING THE LOGO OR ARE WE DONE? NO, WE'RE STILL DISCUSSING. WE STILL NEED TO DISCUSS THE LOGO AND THE BUILDING. I'M GOING TO STAND UP IF THAT'S OKAY. SO THAT I CAN POINT AT THESE SCREENS. SO I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THIS LOGO, AND I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH LEAVING THE CURRENT. WHAT'S ON THE CURRENT BUILDING UP HERE? IF WE CAN GO TO THE COLORED SCREEN WITH THE THREE LOGO OPTIONS ON IT, I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THAT. SO WHEN WE LOOK HERE, I BELIEVE WE'LL CALL THIS 123. THAT THREE IS THE LOGO THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING. YES. AND THAT WE WILL USE BE ABLE TO USE SIMPLY THIS PORTION OF IT AS WE DESIRE. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO WHEN WE GO BACK TO THE BUILDING THIS MAY BE A QUESTION.
ARE WE FINALIZED? I MEAN, WHEN WE SAY THIS IS THE LOGO, CAN WE LIKE MANIPULATE IT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE WRONG FLIP WHEN WE LOOK? IF YOU LOOK AT THE PODIUM HERE, YOU SEE WE'VE GOT IT FLAT. WE'VE GOT THE WRONG BLACK HIGHLIGHTED. IT SHOULD BE REVERSED SO THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE A NICE FLAT EDGE, I THINK. RIGHT. YEP. OKAY. YES. AND THIS WAS JUST A THIS WAS JUST A QUICK ROUGH DRAFT. YEAH. OKAY. SO WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON IS NUMBER THREE RIGHT. NO NO NO WE VOTED ON THE NAME JUST THE NAME VALLEY GOLF CLUB. THERE WAS A CONVERSATION THAT THERE WAS A SUGGESTION THAT CAME FROM ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBER, LYNN CLOUSER, ABOUT THE GOLF BALL
[01:40:01]
BEING INSTEAD OF THE THE COIL BEING IN THERE. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT WHAT WE DISCUSSED BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T REALLY GOTTEN EVERY MEMBER TO DISCUSS ABOUT THIS UNTIL THERE WAS A MOTION WAS CALLED AND IT WAS IT WAS CALLED TO QUESTION. AND I JUST WISH THAT IT WOULD GIVE EVERYBODY AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS BEFORE WE CALL. I AGREE. THANK YOU. I WILL SAY THAT I AM I DO LIKE THAT NUMBER THREE OPTION. THAT WOULD BE MY CHOICE. BUT I WILL LET THE CONVERSATION CONTINUE. THANK YOU. CAN I JUST FOR CLARITY FOR STAFF, CAN WE TAKE IT IN ONE BEING THE LOGO THAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE IN TERMS OF THE ONE, 2 OR 3 IN THE COLORED AND THEN TAKE THE BUILDING, HOW WE WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE IT THE SAME OR WHATEVER WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE BUILDING SO THAT WE HAVE THOSE TWO THINGS CLEAR. OKAY. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER RILEY.THANK YOU. MAYOR, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE THREE LOGOS? WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS BEFORE, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS BEFORE YOU GOT HERE. THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT ADDING THE WORD EVENT CENTER IN THE NAME BECAUSE IT DRAWS IN BUSINESS IN REGARDS TO BRIDAL AND WEDDINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I'M NOT SURE HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE WITH JUST HAVING IT. GOLF CLUB VERSUS GOLF AND EVENT CENTER BECAUSE THIS CAME FROM. SO I'M NOT SURE IF THE STAFF REMEMBERS WHEN WE HAD THIS FULL DISCUSSION AND THERE WAS SOME DATA THAT DONNIE DISCUSSED THAT WHEN YOU'RE WANTING TO DRAW IN MORE REVENUE FOR EVENTS, TO HAVE THAT WORD EVENT IN THE THE NAMING NOW GRANTED, IT IS VERY LONG. SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW DID WE GET FROM JUST BEING A GOLF CLUB TO OR FROM BEING GOLF AND EVENT CENTER TO GOLF CLUB AND IS EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT AN OPTION ANYMORE, BUT. MY CONCERN IS THE BRINGING IN THE TYPE OF REVENUE AND WILL PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE ARE AN EVENT CENTER BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED IT YOURSELF. YOU MENTIONED IT YOURSELF THAT WE THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A DESTINATION PLACE AND WE'RE TRYING TO DRAW IN REVENUE. SO SINCE WE CAN'T THE NAME WAS VOTED ON, I DIDN'T AGREE WITH THE NAME AS QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE DISCUSSED IN DEPTH ABOUT HAVING THE WORD EVENT CENTER SO THAT WE CAN DRAW IN THOSE PEOPLE. MY MY DESIRE IS TO HAVE THE FIRST LOGO. I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE GOLF BALL IN THERE, BECAUSE IT KIND OF GOES WITH THE MESSAGING OF GOLF CLUB. I AM DISAPPOINTED, YOU KNOW, IN NO DISRESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE THAT WORKED HARD ON THAT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT ADDING THAT WORD EVENT BECAUSE WE THERE WAS A LOT OF PUBLIC DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT. OR CAN I JUST TALK ABOUT THE FIRST PART? TO ME, I WASN'T PART OF THE DISCUSSION. TO ME, QUAIL VALLEY GOLF AND EVENT CENTER IS MORE IS MORE SPECIFIC TO HOTELS AND RESORTS. THAT THAT'S MORE OF A HOTEL TYPE OF THING THAT A GOLF COURSE THAT'S AT A HOTEL THAT HOLDS EVENTS. THAT'S HONESTLY, FROM A GOLFERS PERSPECTIVE, THAT'S WHAT THE CONNOTATION IS. AND, YOU KNOW, QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB, YOU'RE JUST IT'S A IT'S A CLUBHOUSE, YOU KNOW, AND THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS HAVE IT AND EVERYBODY HAS A CLUBHOUSE. SO TO ME, I MEAN THAT WAS JUST MY MY OPINION TO YOUR QUESTION BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE GOLF AND EVENT CENTER. BUT MOST PLACES THAT HAVE GOLF AND EVENT CENTER ARE EITHER HOTELS OR RESORTS. SO FROM YOUR EXPERTISE, IS THAT NOT A DRAW? PEOPLE THINKING THIS IS A DESTINATION? NO. IN MY I GOT TO GO OFF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING VERSUS WHAT IN MY MY OPINION PEOPLE SAID TO TO HAVE YOUR YOUR WEDDING AT A GOLF CLUB IS PRETTY NICE THING TO PUT ON YOUR INVITATION. IF YOU'RE GOING TO SEND YOUR INVITATION TO YOUR FRIENDS WHO YOU KNOW ARE NOT GOING TO SHOW UP, WHO LIVE IN PORTLAND, OREGON, OR IN CONNECTICUT, TO HAVE TO SAY THAT YOUR WEDDING WAS HELD AT A GOLF CLUB SOUNDS MORE EXCLUSIVE THAN A GOLF AND EVENT CENTER. THAT IS MY OPINION. I APPRECIATE THAT. I REALLY LIKE THE FIRST LOGO, THE FIRST LOGO, THE THIRD ONE WITH THE NAME AND THE SUN RAY AND THE QUAIL ON THERE. IT LOOKS REALLY SIMPLIFIED. IT'S TO ME, IT'S JUST NOT CATCHY. I REALLY AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO DISCUSS THIS EARLIER AND BRING THIS POINT OUT. BUT I REALLY FROM I'M JUST SHARING WHOEVER MAKES THE MOTION. I REALLY
[01:45:01]
WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THE GOLF BALL. I DON'T REALLY LIKE THE SECOND ONE BECAUSE IT LOOKS A LITTLE CHRISTMASY FROM. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT BUT I REALLY LIKE THE GOLF BALL. I'M NOT A GOLFER, SO I REALLY. BUT I JUST THINK THIS IS A VERY EYE CATCHING. IT'S GOOD FOR MARKETING AND IT'S NOT SO PLAIN AND SIMPLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE TO GO WITH THE NAME QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. THAT WOULD BE MY ASK FOR WHOEVER MAKES THE MOTION. IF YOU CAN CONSIDER HAVING NUMBER ONE AS THE LOGO WITH TO MATCH THE NAME. COUNCIL MEMBER RILEY, THANK YOU FOR THOSE COMMENTS.I'LL ENTERTAIN THAT AS A MOTION. NOW IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE IT. OR WOULD YOU LIKE FOR THE I WOULD LIKE YEAH I WOULD LIKE THE CONVERSATION TO CONTINUE ON. OKAY. SO WHAT WE'LL DO AT THIS POINT IT'S JUST MYSELF AND COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY LEFT INSIDE OF THE Q. OKAY, CAN WE CLEAR THE Q AND BECAUSE WHAT WE SEE OVER HERE IS NOT WHAT'S GOING ON SO THAT WE CAN ALL JUMP BACK IN LIKE IT'S STILL FOUR PEOPLE IN THE Q OH, MY Q SAID ME BONY, BONY TWO TIMES, AND EMERY. BUT SHE SAID SHE WAS IN THE Q BUT OKAY, LET ME JUMP IN THE Q CAN YOU GET IN THE Q, PLEASE? COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY, CAN YOU GET IN THE Q I'M SORRY, I HAVE I HAVE A QUESTION. CAN WE WHAT'S THE NUMBER WE CAN USE TO GO BACK OVER THERE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT DOING SOMETHING WITH THE LOGO? AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, A MEMBER CAN REQUEST AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. AND THEN THERE WOULD BE A VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT TO GO TO THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. IF IF YOU IF IT'S BASED ON LEGAL ADVICE, THAT'S BASED ON LEGAL ADVICE. 551 .071 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE. OKAY. DO I CAN I CALL IT OR HAVE TO HAVE A MEMBER WITH THE MOTION? YOU CAN
[4. CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION]
MAKE A MOTION. SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO GET LEGAL ADVICE ON 551 POINT. WHAT IS IT, A07071071. SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE MOTION ON WHATEVER THE TOPIC IS ON THE TOPIC, ON THE LOGO OKAY. CLARIFICATION I, YOU TALKING ABOUT THE LOGO OR THE NAME. THAT'S THAT'S THE PROBLEM.THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. ALREADY AGREED UPON IS QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB.
IS THAT RIGHT? YES. THERE'S NO NO CHANGING OR GOING BACK ON THAT. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THAT I'D LIKE TO GO BACK IF THERE'S A SECOND. IF NOT, WE'LL CONTINUE WITH FURTHER. IS THERE ANY SECOND WE SHOW THAT THERE IS A MOTION MEMBER CLOUSER AND SECONDED BY MEMBER. I WAS JUST PUTTING MYSELF IN THE QUEUE TO SECOND HIS SINCE HE MADE A VERBAL. I'M MAKING A SECOND.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE A SECOND. OKAY. AND WE NEED A ROLL CALL VOTE. WE'VE BEEN DOING A ROLL CALL.
YES. MAYOR. YES. MEMBER. BROWN. MARSHALL. SURE. MEMBER O'DEKIRK. YES. MEMBER. RILEY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING. A MOTION WAS PUT ON THE FLOOR TO GO INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION UNDER GOVERNMENT CODE 551.071 TO DISCUSS WHAT? THE LOGO. GET LEGAL ADVICE, GET LEGAL ADVICE, LEGAL ADVICE.

AND MEMBER CLOUSER. YES. THE MOTION
[5. RECONVENE]
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BE EYEING THIS THING. WHEN? IF I RECOGNIZE SOMEONE, THEN PULL IT OFF. WHEN THEY START SPEAKING, DON'T PULL IT OFF. THEN WE'RE COMPLETELY CONFUSED WITH THIS, RIGHT? MAYOR, I HAVE A MOTION. YES. GO AHEAD. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE THAT WE GO BACK AND RECONSIDER THE NAME, THE LOGO AND THE TOWER. THE TOWER AS IT RELATES TO BRANDING NEEDS TO ALSO BE DISCUSSED ON TONIGHT. OKAY. THAT'S YOUR MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? OH. OH, THERE'S BEEN A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY SEEING NO DISCUSSION. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. NOW ON THE YOU KNOW CAN WE CONTINUE WITH THE IF THERE ARE PEOPLE SIGNING UP TO TO HAVE[01:50:03]
DISCUSSIONS, PLEASE SIGN UP SO I CAN RECOGNIZE YOU. LET ME LET ME RECOGNIZE. LET ME RECOGNIZE.COUNCIL MEMBER O'DEKIRK. THANK YOU. AND I THINK THAT COUNCIL MEMBER RILEY ALLUDED TO THE FACT THAT THE NAME SPECIFICALLY CLUB VERSUS EVENT CENTER. WE WERE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION GOLF CLUB IN YOUR CAREER, YOUR HISTORY, YOUR KNOWLEDGE SOUNDS MORE PRESTIGIOUS AND YOU FEEL LIKE THIS IS GOING TO MAKE EVERYTHING COMES DOWN TO MONEY. WE WANT THE MONEY, RIGHT? SO THIS SOUNDS MORE PRESTIGIOUS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THROWING MISSOURI CITY IN THERE IS NOT NORMAL AND THAT. IN YOUR OPINION, QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB, AND AS IT WAS HASHED OUT IN THE COMMITTEE MEETING, QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB IN THE END MAKES US THE MOST MONEY. YES. OKAY.
THANK YOU. OKAY. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER RILEY. THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND I KNOW I ASKED IT COUNCILMEMBER O'DEKIRK HAS ASKED IT BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE WE DON'T THIS IS GOING TO BE THE NAME FOR A ENTIRELY LONG TIME. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THIS RIGHT BECAUSE WE WE CAN'T GO BACK AND REBRAND AND KEEP DOING THIS EVERY FIVE YEARS, TWO YEARS, OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. SO I JUST WANT THAT TO BE PUBLICLY STATED THAT WE WE'RE RELYING ON YOUR EXPERTISE, ESPECIALLY MYSELF, BECAUSE I'M NOT A GOLFER. I'M JUST THERE TO EAT THE TAQUITOS. OKAY. WE MADE THAT VERY CLEAR. SO IF THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO BRING US IN THE REVENUES THAT PROPEL THIS GOLF CENTER AS THE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB AS THE DESTINATION PLACE TO DO YOUR WEDDINGS, TO DO YOUR EVENTS AND BABY SHOWERS AND BRIDAL SHOWERS. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE, WONDERFUL NAME TO KEEP US TRENDING OUT THERE. I PROMISE YOU 100%. OKAY. FROM TWO PERSPECTIVES FROM THE EVENT PERSPECTIVE, ASSIGNED MORE PRESTIGIOUS PEOPLE LIKE TO PUT ON THEIR INVITATIONS. FROM GOLFERS PERSPECTIVE, HOTEL, GOLF CLUB. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S THEIR FOCUS. THEIR GOT IT. THAT'S IT. IS YOUR MIC ON? I'M JUST TALL. OH OKAY. AND THEN MY SECOND THING WERE YOU DONE WITH. YEAH. NO STATEMENT.
NO IT'S I CAN 100% HAVE ZERO DOUBT THAT THAT IS THE BEST NAME TO THE WHOLE THING IS YOU WANT TO ELIMINATE OBSTACLES REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS, WHETHER IT'S A PRIVATE CLUB OR A PUBLIC. YOU DON'T. YOU WANT TO ELIMINATE OBSTACLES. AND QUAIL VALLEY GOLF COURSE AND CITY CENTER CREATED OBSTACLES, AND I AGREE. AND QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB ELIMINATES ALL OBSTACLES. FROM AN EVENT PERSPECTIVE, IT SOUNDS CLASSY. FROM A GOLF PERSPECTIVE, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A GOLF COURSE. OKAY, BECAUSE I WAS WANTING TO ENTERTAIN THE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF AND EVENT CENTER BASED ON TWO PREVIOUS INDIVIDUALS IN YOUR ROLE THAT GUIDE US TO THAT DIRECTION. AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR EXPERTISE IS SAYING GOLF CLUB IS THE EXCLUSIVE. SO THANK YOU. MY OTHER. I'M NOT SURE IF WE'RE ON JUST THE NAME JUST OKAY. WELL I'LL YIELD BACK TO THE NEXT ONE. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER KLAUSNER, I'LL YIELD TO THE NEXT VOTE. ALL RIGHT. RECOGNIZING MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN. MARSHALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
MAYOR SERGIO. IN OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS, WE HAD HEALTHY DISCUSSION AND HEALTHY DEBATE OVER EVENT CENTER, OVER PLACING THE NAME MISSOURI CITY IN THE NAME. I WAS ONE THAT DEFINITELY FOUGHT BACK AGAINST THE WORD CLUB UNTIL YOU PROVIDED US WITH THE ANALYSIS AND WITH THE DATA TO HELP US UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES IN BETWEEN ALL OF THE DIFFERENT NAMES. THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDED TO US WAS EXTREMELY VALUABLE, AND IT HELPED US TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORD CLUB IS WHAT IS INDEED RECOGNIZED BY GOLFERS AROUND THE WORLD. IT IS INDEED WHAT IS RECOGNIZED MORE HIGHER AND MORE PRESTIGIOUS ABOVE, AT CERTAIN WEDDING EVENTS AND WHEN THEY'RE AT QUINCEANERA EVENTS AND ALL OF THESE TYPES OF THINGS. SO I PROMISE YOU, COLLEAGUES, WE DOVE AS DEEP AS WE COULD GO INTO WITH THE WITH THE NAMING OF THE BUILDING BY USING CERTAIN DATA AND CERTAIN ANALYSIS SO THAT WE COULD HAVE OUR BEST OPTION TO PUT OUR FOOT
[01:55:03]
FORWARD WITH GETTING THIS RIGHT. THE MOST CRITICAL THING IS TAKING THE NAME SO THAT IT'S SHORT, AND SO THAT IT IS NOT CONFUSING. CITY CENTER I LOVE THAT NAME. I DO, BUT IT'S CONFUSING AND IT REALLY AND TRULY IS. SO I AM FOR QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB AS THE NAME.AND AND EARLIER I HAD ASKED YOU IF YOU COULD PLEASE KIND OF GO INTO SOME OF THE DIALOG THAT WE HAD IN REGARDS TO THAT, AND YOU KIND OF DID IT JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO, BUT IT REALLY IS ABOUT US EQUATING A NAME INTO DOLLARS. THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO CITY MANAGER, SO COUNCILMEMBER O'DEKIRK MYSELF, COUNCILMEMBER CLOUSER AND COUNCILMEMBER RILEY ARE NOW PART OF THIS COMMITTEE. YES. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT THE COMMITTEE IS PUT FORTH. SO THIS WAY THAT GIVES THE GENERAL MANAGER AND GIVES YOUR OFFICE SOME SORT OF ALIGNMENT OR KIND OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S GOING ON.
OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TIME TO DISCUSS, AND THEN THEY DISCUSS THE HEAVY THINGS, BUT IT STILL COMES BEFORE THE BODY OF COUNCIL TO VOTE ON IT. RIGHT. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT POINT. SO I'M GOOD WITH THE VALLEY GOLF CLUB. BUT THE Q IS IN IN THIS PICTURE OR THE SLIDE 21, IT SHOWS WITH THE BIRD. SO IS THAT HOW IT'S GOING TO LOOK OR IS THAT GOING TO BE PART OF THE LOGO. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE LOGO. SO RIGHT NOW ALWAYS JUST SAYING IS NOT NOT WHAT'S UP. THERE IS NOT WHAT WE'RE VOTING FOR. WE'RE JUST VOTING FOR Q THE LETTER Q, RIGHT. QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB, RIGHT. THAT'S THE NAME. BECAUSE THE WAY IT WE ARE VOTING FOR THAT. YEAH. THE QUAIL VALLEY WE'RE USING, WE'RE, WE'RE WE'RE PROPOSING TO KEEP THE BIRD OKAY. AS THE Q YES, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S ON EVERYTHING WE HAVE THAT'S RECOGNIZABLE. AND SO THAT YES, THIS IF YOU PUT SOMETHING ELSE THERE, IT'S A DIFFERENT LOGO.
GOT IT. SO IF WE GO TO SLIDE 22 CAN WE GO TO SLIDE 22. IS THAT WHAT'S GOING TO FORGET THE TOWER FOR A SECOND. IT'S NOT. THE TOWER IS GONE. RIGHT. IS THAT WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. YES. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE VOTING FOR. YES. SO THE BIRD IS REPRESENTING THE Q AND THEN VALLEY GOLF CLUB. YES. OKAY. IN THAT SAME SPELLING. SAME SAME WHAT. YOU SEE IT UP HERE. THIS IS A RENDERING OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. OKAY. I'M GOOD WITH IT. ALL RIGHT I'M LOOKING FOR A MOTION. ALL RIGHT. DO YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO MAKE A MOTION ON NAME ONLY OR NAME ONLY. NAME ONLY. NAME ONLY. CORRECT NAME ONLY. YES. OKAY. I WASN'T MAKING ONE. IT WAS. IT WAS MAYOR PRO TEM. GO AHEAD. SO MY MOTION IS FOR NAME ONLY, AS PRESENTED ON THE LOWER LEVEL QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB, Q BIRD AND ALL. THAT'S MY MOTION. OKAY, COUNCILMEMBER EMERY, IS THAT YOUR SECOND? YES. ALL RIGHT. YES. OKAY. SO I GUESS I WOULD ASK THE CONFUSION IS WHAT THEY'RE STILL WHEN I LOOK AT IT, THERE'S A PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK WHICH IS BROWN MARSHALL.
WHY IS THAT THERE. OKAY. NOW IT'S NOT THERE. SO YOU GUYS HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE IN THAT DON'T PUT IT IN, BECAUSE OTHERWISE I'M GOING TO CALL HER. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM BROWN MARSHALL SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY. SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THE Q LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY. THANK YOU.
CAN WE CLEAR THAT, THOUGH? CAN WE CLEAR THAT THAT'S GONE NOW? OKAY. SO IS THERE ANOTHER MOTION OR ANOTHER DISCUSSION ON ITEMS THAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT, WHICH WAS THE SECOND ONE YOU SAID WAS. ABOUT THE LOGO. AND LET'S LET'S GO. OKAY. LET'S GO. MAYOR I'M IN THE Q CAN YOU SEE ME? YEP, I CAN SEE YOU. SO GO AHEAD AND OKAY. I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO RILEY HAS A OH, A MOTION. SO YEAH. YEAH, THE MOTION OKAY. GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD. MAKE THE BUILDING. THE TOWER. THE TOWER. THAT'S THE EASY ONE THAT WE MAINTAIN THE TOWER NAME AS MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS, WITH THE SUNRAY. THAT'S LIKE THAT, LIKE THIS OR WHATEVER. THAT WAS LIKE
[02:00:03]
THAT. OUR CORRECT SUNRAY. THIS IS THE OFFICIAL SUNRAY AS THE WITH MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS.THAT'S GOOD. I MEAN, IS THAT YOUR SECOND. YES IT IS. ANY DISCUSSION? I MEAN I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE IN THE QUEUE. SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. OKAY. NO. OKAY. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY. GOOD. CLEAR. THAT CLEAR. CLEAR. CLEAR. AFTER THE VOTE IS DONE. CLEAR. OKAY, OKAY. SO. ALL RIGHT. I'M. YOU'RE GOING IN. COUNCIL MEMBER O'DEKIRK. OKAY. SO THIS IS DISCUSSION OF THE LOGO OKAY. OKAY. SO I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO THE COLORED SCREEN. THANK YOU. .
BUT THIS IS MORE CLASSY. WE'RE GOING FOR CLASSIC AND CLASSY NOT ADDING FLUFFY WHATEVER I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BALANCE IN THIS JOB. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS BETTER, RIGHT? I'M STUCK ON THIS BECAUSE I JUST DON'T. I DON'T LIKE THIS EMPTY SPACE. I DON'T THINK WE CAN FILL IT LIKE THE GOLF BALL. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET IT ALL THE WAY UP IN THERE, BUT I DON'T LIKE THAT. SO I'M JUST SAYING I WANT TO CLEAN IT UP. BUT THIS IS MY CHOICE, OKAY? I RECOGNIZING RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER CLAUSER. YOU'RE YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'M SEEING CLOSER THAN YOU KNOW. OVER AND OVER, SO. GO FORWARD IN A HAND. GO FOR IT. OKAY. SO IS THIS SERGIO. SO THIS LOGO THAT WE'RE VOTING ON IS GOING TO GO ON ALL FUTURE SHIRTS, EVERYTHING THAT HAS QUAIL VALLEY ON IT. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON IS NOT NECESSARILY ON ALL SHIRTS. IT WOULD PLEASE DON'T CONFUSE US. GO AHEAD. NOT NECESSARILY ON ALL SHIRTS. WELL, THAT'S THE ENTIRE LOGO. BUT EVEN LIKE THE QUAIL VALLEY RIGHT NOW, SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE THE Q, SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE THE NAME. I MEAN, THERE'S VARIATIONS, BUT LIKE THAT WHOLE THING WOULD BE WHAT WE WOULD USE ON MARKETING, BUT ON SHIRTS, IT MIGHT BE THE QUAIL VALLEY, IT MIGHT JUST SAY QUAIL VALLEY, I MIGHT SAY QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. IT MIGHT JUST BE THE Q I MEAN, IT'S DONE AT EVERYTHING WHERE LIKE HATS, THEY MIGHT JUST PUT THE QUAIL HEAD ON THE SIDE ON NICE SHIRTS. MOST PEOPLE LIKE VERY SIMPLE. THEY DON'T WANT A LOGO ON A $90 SHIRT. SO YOU MIGHT JUST PUT THE Q ON THE SLEEVE. SO I MEAN, THERE'S VARIATIONS TO IT. OKAY.
THAT WAS MY THAT WAS MY QUESTION. THEN. RIGHT. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER.
RIGHT. SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO KEEP HAVING THE GOLF BALL AND PROBABLY MINIMIZING IT, MAKING IT A LITTLE BIT SMALLER SO IT'S NOT SO BULKY. SINCE WE'RE GOING WITH THE QUAIL AS THE Q IN QUAIL VALLEY, I THINK IT'S A NICE TOUCH, YOU KNOW. YEAH, THIS ONE IS CLASSIC. BUT WE'RE GOING FOR PREMIER. WE'RE GOING TO BE A DESTINATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB. AND THIS WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO HAVE THAT SIGNATURE GOLF BALL. I LOVE HOW IT SITS IN THE V AND HOW THE SORRY COUNCILMEMBER CLOUDS WITH THE BIRD SITTING ON THERE AS WELL. I DON'T MIND THE BIRD. OH, OKAY. SO TALKING ABOUT THOSE BIRDS OVER THERE BY THE CHRISTMAS TREE. OH TALKING ABOUT BUT YES, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE THE GOLF BALL IN THE, IN THE LOGO. AND WHAT, WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION. BECAUSE THESE ARE MOCKUPS THAT WERE MADE BY AND THEY DID A GREAT JOB. BUT I JUST REALLY THINK THIS ONE IS SET. SO SET APART FROM THE OTHER TWO. I LIKE THE BOTTOM ONE JUST BECAUSE IT'S THE IT'S THE CLEANEST AND IT'S THE SIMPLEST. THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW I, I FELT BAD ABOUT THAT. I SHOULD HAVE ASKED YOU BACK THERE I WE'LL KEEP THE TAQUITOS ON. SO. NO, IT'S JUST IT'S EASIER AND IT'S ON LOGO AND STUFF. THINGS THAT ARE BUSY DON'T STITCH THAT WELL AND THINGS THAT ARE IT JUST IF IT'S SMALL, IT GETS REALLY TIGHT AND HARD TO READ. THAT'S WHY YOU WANT SOMETHING, SOMETHING SIMPLE. BECAUSE IF IT'S SMALL ESPECIALLY, IT'S VERY HARD TO READ. GOTCHA. THAT
[02:05:03]
CONCLUDES MY. AND I APOLOGIZE, COUNCILWOMAN. NO, NO THAT'S OKAY. SO SO I GUESS I GUESS MY MY THING IS WE IF YOU GO TO SLIDE 22, SLIDE 22, NEXT ONE ON THE BUILDING WHEN YOU PULL UP IT'S GOING TO SHOW QUAIL VALLEY JUST LIKE THAT. YES. AND ABOVE THAT TOWER IS GOING TO SAY WHATEVER WE HAD THERE. NOW THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO SHOW. SO I GUESS ON THE LOGO, IF THEY'RE GOING TO DO SHOW AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO JUST Q, THEN WHY ARE WE VOTING ON SOMETHING WITH THE RAY AND ALL OF THAT? WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE A COUNCILMEMBER? RILEY SAID, THE ONE WITH THE THE QUAIL, AND THEN YOU HAVE IT. AND THEN BY THE V THAT YOU HAVE THAT GOLF BALL, I MEAN, THEY COULD DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO AT THAT POINT. RIGHT? AND THEN WHY ARE WE VOTING ON SOMETHING? WELL, WE WANTED YOU TO GIVE US DIRECTION ON THE ENTIRE HOW WE MIX IT UP IS GOING TO COME FROM WHATEVER DIRECTION YOU GIVE US THE TO, TO SERGIO'S POINT, WHEN YOU START GETTING A LOT OF DETAIL THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THE SHIRTS MORE EXPENSIVE, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY TO READ. IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A HAT, THEN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PUT EVERYTHING ON THAT YOU'RE GOING TO. IT'S GOING TO BE A VARIETY OF THINGS. SO IF THAT'S THE CASE, WE JUST NAME THE PLACE. YES, THAT'S WHAT WE OKAY, REALLY ALL WE AND WE HAVE THE TOWER. WE JUST HAVE MISSOURI CITY ON IT. BECAUSE TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY'S POINT, I AGREE IT HAS TO SHOW SOMETHING. BUT THE WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING TO DO ON THE HATS AND THE SIDE OF THE HAT, SIDE OF THE SHIRT AND ALL THAT, IF THE IF THE NAME IS ALREADY THERE, THEN WHY DO WE NEED TO VOTE ON ANOTHER ITEM? I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. ACTUALLY WE DON'T, BECAUSE OUR MAIN GOAL WAS TO GET WHAT'S GOING ON THE BUILDING. THAT'S REALLY ALL WE NEEDED. YEAH, BECAUSE IF HE GOES UP THERE AND DO A HAT WITH THE Q RIGHT AND A V NEXT TO IT, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE VOTED FOR. SO THAT'S LIMITED HIM BECAUSE YOU CAN CREATE WHAT NOW YOU HAVE ALREADY UP THERE.THAT'S WHAT WE VOTED ON CORAL VALLEY GOLF CLUB RIGHT. SO YOU CAN USE THAT TO PIVOT THE WAY YOU WANT TO. RIGHT? RIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S NOT CHANGING THE NAME. IT'S NOT CHANGING WHAT'S ON THE BUILDING THAT SHOWS MISSOURI CITY, TEXAS. THEN WHY ARE WE VOTING ON THAT? THE IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE BEFORE THE ONE AT THE BOTTOM, I MEAN, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE THAT? I PROBABLY HAVE IT ON LITERATURE AROUND THE AROUND THE CLUBHOUSE, MAYBE ON MENUS.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN I'M OKAY ON PAPER GOODS OR MAYBE ON OUR, MAYBE ON OUR EMAIL ADDRESS TYPE OF THINGS LIKE THAT. OKAY. BECAUSE ON THE LEFT SIDE, ONE, IF YOU HAD TAKEN THE GOLFING EVENT CENTER OFF, IT ALMOST LOOKED BESIDES THE BALL, RIGHT? IT LOOKS EXACTLY THAT WAY. AND YOU MAY DO THAT FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT DO, FOR EXAMPLE, SAY ON A BUSINESS CARD TO GO TO A POINT ABOUT HOW SMALL IT GETS. WHEN IT'S A BUSINESS CARD, YOU GET TOO MANY THINGS IN THERE. THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ELIMINATE THIS. MAYBE YOU JUST PUT QUAIL VALLEY. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. THAT'S WHY YOU CAN'T BE. I GUESS I'M ASKING, DO WE NEED TO VOTE? VOTE ON THE LOGO? LOGO? LIKE PER SE? ONLY IF YOU WANT TO SEE A BALL. IF YOU WANT TO SEE A BALL IN ANY OF THE VARIATIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, WE WE WANT THAT DIRECTION.
OTHERWISE WE'RE GOING WITH THE, THE THE ITEM THREE AT THE BOTTOM. ALL RIGHT. RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY. WE'VE HAD 30 TO 40 YEARS OF RECOGNITION OF QUAIL VALLEY BIRD FOR QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB, OUR GOLF COURSE. SO I HOPE WE DON'T TRY TO SCREW AROUND WITH THAT AND CHANGE SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL HAS IDENTIFIED THE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB AND COURSES. SO I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'RE BASICALLY BEATING A DEAD HORSE WITH TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT THAT AFFECTS THE QUAIL VALLEY LOGO WITH THE WITH THE BIRD. THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH HISTORY AND AND TRADITION. SO I MEAN, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS OKAY. THANK YOU. RECOGNIZING COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN THANK YOU, MAYOR. JUST FOR CLARITY, MAYOR. SO NOW THAT WE HAVE CAN YOU PUT IT ON SLIDE 22, PLEASE? SO THE BOTTOM QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB, IS THAT THE NEW LOGO WITHOUT THE SUNRAY? YES. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE. ALL RIGHT. SO TO THE MAYOR'S POINT THEN WE DON'T NEED TO REVISIT LOGO ANYMORE. NO, THE NAME IS THE NAME IS CLEAN. SO QUAIL VALLEY THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE THAT. AT THE BOTTOM YOU HAVE THE BIRD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. VOTE ON THAT. YOU DID NO ON THE LOGO FOR THAT TO BE THE LOGO. OKAY. YOU JUST DID. OH. BECAUSE YOU POINTED WHEN YOU MADE THE MOTION, YOU SAID TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THAT. YES. SO THAT
[02:10:03]
WAS THE MOTION TO HAVE EARLIER. YOU SAID I DIDN'T LIKE THAT. SO WHAT, YOU WANT ME TO MAKE ONE MOTION SO WE CAN DOUBLE DOWN ON IT? YES. OH, YOU GOT IT. YOU GOT IT. LET'S GO. YOU GOT IT.SHE HAD SHE HAS IT. OKAY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT'S ON THE TOWER. NO, WE'VE ALREADY WE'VE ALREADY VOTED ON THAT. TODAY. YES. NO CHANGE. RIGHT. SO, MAYOR, MY MOTION IS TO KEEP. GO BACK TO SLIDE 21. JUST TO KEEP OUR LOGO IN VARIOUS VARIATIONS THAT SERGIO HAS RECOMMENDED. BUT WE SELECT LOGO NUMBER THREE AS OUR OFFICIAL LOGO. OKAY. IS THAT IS THAT WORDED CRYSTAL. HE CAN USE IT. OKAY. AND THIS IS MY AND ALLOWING SERGIO AND HIS TEAM TO USE IT. USE THIS VERSION IN ITS VARIATION ON WHATEVER IS APPROPRIATE FOR MARKETING PURPOSES. SO THAT'S YOUR MOTION, COUNCILMEMBER RILEY, IS THAT YOUR SECOND? YES. ALL RIGHT. I JUST SIGNED UP BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT, DON'T EVER LET YOUR COMMUNICATION GUY DO THE LOGO.
ALL RIGHT. NO MORE COMMENTS. ALRIGHT. SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THE QUEUE, LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE. OKAY. THANK GOD. THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY. SO I GUESS WE HAD THREE MOTIONS. WE DID THAT. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER ITEMS OR ON THIS PARTICULAR THE LGC? IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANT TO DISCUSS, PLEASE PUT YOURSELF IN THE QUEUE. RECOGNIZING COUNCILMEMBER CLOUSER. YES. I JUST WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES BECAUSE WHEN WE HAD THIS THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE ON LOGO AND BRANDING, IT WAS A VERY ROBUST AND HEALTHY DISCUSSION BECAUSE WE ALL ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE QUAIL VALLEY GOLF COURSE. OUR RESIDENTS ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT IT, AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PRESERVE WHAT IS THERE AND WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE CONSISTENCY. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES, AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY THIS, THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS VALUED EACH OTHER'S OPINIONS AND EACH OTHER'S FEEDBACK. AND I'M JUST GOING TO ASK THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT ON WHATEVER TOPIC IT IS. AND SO THAT WAY WE ARE ALL WE ALL FEEL LIKE OUR VOICES ARE HEARD BEFORE WE MAKE MOTIONS. AND SO WITH THAT, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU EMERY. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO ENSURE THAT TOUCH ON OUR THE ITEM WHERE WE FIND OUT WHERE CASH IS REQUIRED. I THINK IF YOU TALK TO SERGIO, THERE ARE AREAS WHERE CASH NEEDS TO BE RECEIVED. IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE CASH, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON REVENUE. PEOPLE WANT TO PAY CASH FOR CERTAIN THINGS, AND IF YOU DON'T ALLOW THAT, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'RE CUTTING INTO OUR REVENUE STREAM. SO IT'S ALLOWED. THAT'S WORTH THAT'S MY HOLD BACK. SHE'S BEEN CITY MANAGER HAS SAID THAT WE CAN GET CASH ONCE I GET THE IMPLEMENTATIONS. I JUST HAVE TO GET A COUPLE SAFES AND I'LL GET THAT MOVING. I'LL MAKE THAT A PRIORITY. YEAH. AUDIT AND CONTROLS ARE RIGHT PARAMOUNT WHEN YOU HAVE CASH. NO, I'LL MAKE THAT A PRIORITY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN, IN YOUR PRESENTATION WAS, YOU KNOW, HAVING PEOPLE PAY UP FRONT FOR T TIMES RESERVES SO THAT YOU CAN MANAGE THE T SHEET. SO THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THAT, THAT APPROACH WHERE WHEN THEY CALL IN FOR A T TIME, YOU TAKE A DEPOSIT OR YOU CHARGE THEM FOR THAT T TIME, THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING FOR A FUTURE DISCUSSION. BUT THAT WAS ONE WAY THAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE GET THE REVENUE. AND WE CAN EITHER DO IT BY SECURING THE T TIME FOR THE THE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE REGULARLY BASED, BUT DEFINITELY GETTING THE PAYMENTS IN ADVANCE FOR OTHER PEOPLE. YOU DO IT FOR EVERYTHING ELSE. YOU DO IT FOR BASEBALL GAMES. WHY DON'T YOU DO IT FOR GOLF, RIGHT? RIGHT. OUR REVENUE STREAM IS BY DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OTHERWISE WE'RE LOSING. PREMIER T TIMES ON IT. YES. AND THIS WILL TELL A PERSON, IF YOU'RE GOING TO
[02:15:01]
MAKE A RESERVATION FOR T TIME, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT UPFRONT. ABSOLUTELY. SO IF YOU DON'T SHOW UP TOUGH. SO YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT YOU KNOW I THINK SOMETHING THAT THAT HELPS US WITH LIKE SAY MANAGING THE T SHEET AND OUR REVENUE STREAM. ONE AND I KNOW THIS WILL GO OVER GREAT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THAT'S GOING TO BE A CHARGE, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THEM BRING THEIR OWN BAR. THE BAR IS OURS. OKAY. YES. WELL AND THERE'S TWO. YEAH. AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. ALL THANK YOU. SO THANK YOU, SERGIO, FOR THE GOOD DISCUSSIONS. SO HERE SEEING NO ONE ELSE ON THE QUEUE. THE TIME IS 7:58 P.M.* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
