MR. DON CARLSON CHAIRMAN MIKE HARRIS.
MINT IS BOARD MEMBER MIKE SNYDER, BOARD MEMBER, RANDALL CLARK BOARD MEMBERS.
WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM FIVE, SIX UPDATED MONTH, MONTHLY FINANCIAL.
THERE'LL BE, WE HAVE ANGIE HERE BEFORE.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE.
YEAH, JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK ONES.
THE BUSINESS PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION SHOWS A NEGATIVE ALMOST $3,000 FOR THE MONTH.
WHAT, WHAT WAS THAT? THAT WE GOT MONEY BACK FOR.
YEAH, SO WE HAD PAID, UM, APPARENTLY OVERPAID FEES TO THEM WHEN THAT CONTRACT WAS CANCELED.
AND SO THEY HAVE SUBMITTED, UM, THE ONE, THE MONEY THAT WE OVERPAID TO THEM, PLUS THE MONEY SAY WE'RE STILL HOLDING FOR US.
THEY HAVE SUBMITTED ALL THE DOCUMENTS, UM, WHICH I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH AND LOOKING, BUT I THINK WE FINALLY HAVE, BUT THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS FOR.
I WAS HOPING THAT JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.
AND THEN THE PERFORMANCE GRANTS, 25,000.
WHAT WAS THAT? THAT WAS THE OPTION PAYMENT ACTUALLY TOO.
UM, ONE OF THE SHOULD BE, I THINK OF VIVO ROAD.
CAUSE I KNOW, I THOUGHT IT WAS, YEAH.
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT'S ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS CONNECTING ALL THE DOTS.
YEAH, SOME OF THOSE PAYMENTS WE'VE MADE, BUT YES.
ANY OF THE QUESTIONS FOR ANGIE, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT I LIKE THE, UH, FINANCIALS A LOT BETTER NOW COMING OUT OF TYLER THAN WE USED TO HAVE BEFORE.
AND WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THE REST OF THE BANKING STUFF SET UP IN TYLER.
SO WE'RE ALMOST THERE, UM, APPRECIATING MOTION REORDER TWO ACTS EXCEPT FIVE, SIX.
THERE IS NO ACTION ITEMS. LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX, ONE DISCUSSING CONSIDER ACTION ON REQUESTS BY ENCORE TO CONVEY AN EASEMENT FOR UTILITIES ALONG HIGHWAY 79 AND PARALLEL TO FM 33 49 ON THE MEGA SITE.
I BELIEVE WE HAVE, UH, ARMANDO WITH US, SIR, IF YOU DON'T MIND, JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND WHO YOU'RE WITH ARMANDO PEREZ WITH ENCORE.
SO I BELIEVE WE'LL BE SEEING HERE IN EXHIBIT THAT WE'VE PRESENTED.
UM, WELL, WHAT WE'RE HERE TODAY IS TO KIND OF DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF SECURING AN EASEMENT FOR THE RELOCATION OF AN EXISTING DISTRIBUTION LINE THAT'S TODAY RUNNING PARALLEL WITH 33 49.
UM, THIS IS GOING TO BE TIED TO THE TXDOT, UH, ROAD EXPANSION, UM, AND THE QUARTER OF 33 49 AND HIGHWAY 79.
AND SO AS WE WORK THROUGH RELOCATE OUR FACILITIES, UM, WE'RE REQUESTING AN EASEMENT ON THE EAST QUADRANT OF
[00:05:01]
MEGA SITES THAT WRAPS AROUND THE NEW, UH, THE NEW RIGHT AWAY.THAT'S BEEN SECURED BY TECH STOCKS.
AND SO WE'VE PROVIDED AN EXHIBIT THAT OUTLINES THAT PATH.
UM, SO WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS THE RED OUTLINE IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO BE A 15 FOOT WIDE EASEMENT FOR OVERHEAD FACILITIES TO ACCOMMODATE THE, THE ROAD EXPANSION AND THE NEW RIGHT AWAY.
UM, IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP NORTHEAST QUADRANT THERE, UM, WE'RE COMING SOUTH OF THE HIGHWAY WITH AN UNDERGROUND BORE RECEIVING THAT UNDERGROUND BORE AND COMING UP, UH, AND THEN GOING OVERHEAD FACILITIES, UH, WRAPPING AROUND THE NEW RIGHT-AWAY HEADING SOUTH.
UM, WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT, UM, RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU SEE WHERE IT DOES A KICK OUT TO THE RIOTS OF THE EAST, THERE IS A JONAS WATER EXISTING EASEMENT THAT THEY'VE SECURED, THAT RUNS CEASE AND THEN ALL THE WAY SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY THERE.
SO IS IT A L OR 1 21, 1 20 THAT CORNER RIGHT THERE? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? YEAH.
SARAH SAID IT'LL BE AND THEN C THREE ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT THERAPY, L 13 AND YOU MAKE THAT ABOUT MAYBE 60%.
YOU DON'T MIND YOU'VE 75 WILL BE FINE.
AND SO WE WE'VE BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH JONAH WATER TO SEE IF WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO DO AN OVERLAY OF, OF THEIR EXISTING.
I BELIEVE THEY'VE GOT A 20 FOOT EASEMENT AND WE'RE SEEKING A 15 FOOT EAST MYTHS, UM, TO OVERLAY OUR FACILITIES THERE.
UM, WE, WE DO HAVE, UH, ROUTES, UH, OPTIONS TO, SHOULD THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN THEIR, THEIR, UH, UH, THEIR SOLE POSSESSION OF THAT EASTMAN WITHOUT ALLOWING OTHER UTILITIES TO, TO, TO JUMP IN THERE.
AND SO AT THAT POINT WE WOULD, UH, SHOOT OUT TO THE RIGHT AWAY, BUT WE HAVE TO GO BACK IN THE RIDEAWAY ONCE WE'VE CLEARED THE OVERPASS OF THE BRIDGE, UM, THERE'S CLEARANCE CRITERIA FROM, FROM TECH THAT WE CAN BE WITHIN CERTAIN FOOTAGE OF THE BRIDGE.
AND SO WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR OVERHEAD POLES, WE DON'T HAVE THE CLEARANCE FROM RIGHT AWAY.
AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEKING THIS EASTMAN TO BE, TO BE OUT OF THAT, THAT LIMITATION AND BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DESIGN.
UM, AND SO, UM, I'M HERE TODAY TO MAYBE HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, UM, THIS, UH, WORK THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE FACILITIES THAT ARE THERE TODAY.
UM, THERE'S AN EXISTING DISTRIBUTION LINE, THAT'S THERE AT THREE-PHASE LINE.
UM, THIS WOULD BE A RECONDUCTORING LINE, HIGHER, A BIGGER WIRE.
UM, IT'LL ACTUALLY BE TWO, TWO DISTRIBUTION FEEDERS COMING OUT OF THERE.
SO IT'S GOT MORE CAPACITY BUILT IN.
AND SO IT WOULD ACCOMMODATE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
UH, THERE, THE MEGA SITE ASSET UNFOLDS, AND OBVIOUSLY IT'S BEEN VERY BUSY OUT THERE AND SO WE EXPECT GROWTH TO COME.
AND SO, UM, THIS, THIS WOULD BE A BENEFIT ESSENTIALLY TO BE ABLE TO DO THOSE IMPROVEMENTS TODAY.
UM, AND THIS WOULD NOT BE AT THE COST OF THE CITY, UM, ENCORES IT'S THIS PAIN THERE'S, THIS IS A SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT JOB.
AND SO WE RECOGNIZE THE GROWTH.
AND SO WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE GRID.
AND SO WE HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT BY HAVING THE FACILITIES IN PLACE TO DO SO.
AND SO THIS, THIS WOULD BE DONE AND READY.
UH, WE'RE STRIVING FOR, FOR HERE VERY SOON, HOPEFULLY BY THE SUMMER, BEFORE THE SUMMER TO HAVE THIS IN PLACE READY TO GO TO ACCOMMODATE THE GRILL YOU BEEN IN CONTACT WITH JONO WATER ALREADY.
AND SO WE'RE THERE, THEIR, THEIR TEAMS LOOKING AT IT JUST TO MAKE SURE, UM, THAT THERE ARE NO, UH, IMPACTS TO, TO THEIR FACILITIES.
AND SO AS SOON AS WE CAN GET THE VERBAL EITHER APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF OUR REQUESTS, WE CAN, WE CAN ADJUST.
AND SO IF WE HAD TO ADJUST, UM, THE PORTION SOUTH OF L SEVEN, WE WOULD TRY TO TRANSITION OVER TO THE RIGHT-AWAY, UM, TO, TO STAY CLEAR OF THEIR FACILITIES.
AND SO HOW FAR OVER, IF YOU NEEDED TO DO THAT, WHERE'S THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT YOU WOULD BE IN.
SO, SO THE RE THE NEW RIGHT AWAY IS BASICALLY RIGHT UP AGAINST THE BREAD, THE EASTERN SIDE OF THAT RED LINE, IT'S BASICALLY WHERE THE RIGHT-AWAY ENDS AT EASTMAN STARTS.
UM, IT'D BE GOOD TO BE BUTTING UP AGAINST THE RIGHT AWAY.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE SEEN THE EASEMENT, BUT THERE'S SOME THINGS I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE'RE DOING THIS, THAT WE, EVERY ENCORE EASEMENT I'VE SEEN, IT SEEMS TO REALLY CAUSE A DEVELOPMENTAL ISSUE GOING FORWARD, WHETHER IT BE DRIVEWAYS OR SOME ABOVE GROUND, NOT LIKE BIG TREES, BUT ABOVE GROUND IMPROVEMENT.
SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT ABILITY TO WHERE WE'RE NOT, WHOEVER'S DEVELOPING A PROPERTY AND HAVING TO GO BACK TO ENCORE TO TRY TO GET A DRIVEWAY TO GO UNDERNEATH.
UM, SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT KIND OF CARVED OUT.
AND THEN IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS, THE CITY IS I THINK THE CITY OWES ENCORE, OR THERE'S SOME KIND OF DEAL WITH RELOCATING, UH, AN EXISTING TRANSMISSION LINE.
IS THAT THE SAME LINE THAT THIS GOES TO?
[00:10:01]
NO.SO, SO THIS LINE, UM, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE, UH, OF THE HIGHWAY, IT GOES INTO THE SUBSTATION, UM, THAT'S OUR TAYLOR WEST SUSPICION, JUST NORTH OF THE GUNSHOT THAT'S THERE.
UM, THAT SUBSTATION NATURALLY IS FED FROM A TRANSMISSION LINE THAT TRANSMISSION LINE RUNS EAST AND WEST.
AND SO THAT WOULD BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, UH, DIFFERENT ITEMS. SO I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THE REFERENCES TO THE TRANSMISSION RELOCATION.
IT'S A, WELL, HERE'S THE REFERENCE BECAUSE IT GOT SIDEWAYS.
I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT HAPPENED.
IT WAS BEFORE A LOT OF PEOPLE'S TIME UP HERE, BUT THERE'S A BUNCH OF EQUIPMENT, WHETHER IT BE POLES AND FACILITIES THAT I BELIEVE ONCOR PURCHASED AHEAD OF TIME, BECAUSE SOMEONE AT THE CITY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO RELOCATE THIS LINE AND THAT NOT BEING RELOCATED.
AND LAST I HEARD WE OWED FOR ALL THIS EQUIPMENT.
AND SO WHAT I'M HOPING IS IF WE'RE GOING TO GRANT YOU AN EASEMENT TO MOVE A LINE, INSTEAD OF YOU ALL BUYING A BUNCH OF NEW POLES AND WHATEVER IT GOES INTO MAKING IT, WE CAN SOMEHOW FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THE POLES THAT SOMEHOW HAVE ALREADY BEEN PURCHASED.
THAT LAST I HEARD, I THINK THEY'RE LIKE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, BOB? THEY'RE, THEY'RE JUST, I GUESS THEY'RE LAYING ON THE GROUND WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.
AND SO INSTEAD OF THE CITY OWING MONEY FOR STUFF WE'RE NEVER GOING TO USE, IF WE CAN REPURPOSE THAT FOR THE EXACT SAME THING AND GETTING READY TO DO, IT SEEMS LIKE A WIN FOR ALL PARTIES.
THAT WOULD BE OUR TRANSMISSION PARTNERS, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY GET THEM IN DISCUSSION WITH THIS.
UM, I WILL SAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION LINE IS A HIGH VOLTAGE LINE.
SO THOSE STRUCTURES ARE YOUR BIG, UH, STEEL MONOPOLES.
UH, AND SO THIS WOULD BE A DISTRIBUTION LINE WITH YOUR, UH, WOOD POLES, UM, RANGING FROM 45 FOOT POLES TO MAYBE EVEN 60 FOOT POLES, DEPENDING ON CLEARANCES THAT WE HAVE TO MEET.
UM, SO THE MATERIAL ITSELF, WOULDN'T KIND OF BE ONE FOR ONE DIFFERENT TYPE OF MATERIAL THAT WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY A BIGGER POLES FOR, FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT HERE FOR THIS, UH, FOR THIS PROPOSAL PROPOSAL THAT WE'RE DOING.
UM, BUT AGAIN, I'D BE HAPPY TO GO BACK AND VISIT WITH OUR TRANSMISSION TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OPPORTUNITIES THERE.
SO WHAT'S LAYING THERE RIGHT NOW.
IS THERE TRANSMISSION POLES? IS THAT, IS THAT WHAT WE'RE SAYING? I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S THERE.
I JUST KNOW THERE'S A BUNCH OF ENCORE EQUIPMENT, AND LAST I HEARD THE CITY SUPPOSEDLY OWES THE MONEY, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW IT ALL GOT TO WHERE IT'S AT, BUT THERE'S THERE'S EQUIPMENT OR POLES AND WHATEVER FACILITIES GO WITH ALL THAT, THAT WE SHOULD DRINKING NORTH OF THE PROPERTY.
IT'S JUST ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS.
CAUSE IT WAS, IT WAS PART OF THE SOME PERFECT GAME DEAL.
THEY WERE GOING TO RELOCATE A TRANSMISSION LINE AND ALL I'M PROPOSING IS ASSUME YOU GUYS ARE JUST WANTING AN EASEMENT FOR FREE, RIGHT? UH, YEAH.
WELL, WE ARE WILLING TO DO COMPENSATION.
UM, WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT $2 A SQUARE FOOT ON TOP OF THE ADDED BENEFIT THAT THE ADDITIONAL FACILITIES BRINGS TO THE SITES, UH, WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE NEED TO DESTROY THE TWO DISTRIBUTION FEEDERS RUNNING THROUGH THERE.
UM, BUT WE WERE READY TO PRESENT, UM, $2 A SQUARE FOOT FOR THE EASTERN AS WELL.
AND SO THE ACTUAL COST OF THAT EASEMENT DEPENDS ON ULTIMATELY WHAT JONAH'S WATER.
UM, IF THEY ALLOW US TO KIND OF DO AN ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT ON THEIR EASEMENT, THEN THE FOOTAGE GOES ALL THE WAY SOUTH.
IF THEY DON'T, THEY'D BE ABLE TO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY, BUT THAT $2 A SQUARE FOOT WOULD REMAIN.
SO AESTHETICS QUESTION, WHAT'S THERE.
NOW YOU SAID THIS IS AN UPGRADE TO WHAT'S EXISTING.
DO WE HAVE ABOVE GROUND POLES NOW? YOU'RE JUST PUTTING BIGGER ONES IN MORE OF THEM.
LIKE, WHAT'S THIS GOING TO LOOK LIKE? HOW MANY POLES ARE WE GOING FROM TWO AND THEN SIZE, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? SO I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER OF POKE COUNT.
UM, BUT TODAY WE HAVE AN EXISTING DISTRIBUTION LINE ON OVERHEAD POLES.
UH, THE WIRE ITSELF IS I BELIEVE MAYBE NUMBER TWO WIRE.
UH, WHEN I SAY UPGRADES OR IMPROVEMENTS IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TWO FEEDERS.
NOW AS TODAY, WE HAVE ONE PETER.
UM, WHEN WE DO THESE IMPROVEMENTS, WE'LL HAVE TWO FULL YEARS COMING OUT OF THERE EVENTUALLY ESSENTIALLY GIVING YOU OPPORTUNITIES FOR, FOR FEEDING DEVELOPMENT, UH, AND CAPACITY.
UM, THE POLES THEMSELVES WILL BE BIGGER POLES, OBVIOUSLY NEW POSTS, AS OPPOSED TO THE POSTS HAVE BEEN THERE TODAY.
AND SO THEY'LL, THERE'LL BE AN IMPROVEMENT THERE.
AND THEN WHATEVER, A FUSING SCHEMES THAT WE DO TO JUST MAINTAIN RELIABILITY AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS ESSENTIALLY COULD ALSO PROVIDE SOME REDUNDANCY.
SO A REDUNDANCY WE CAN DO REDUNDANCY, UM, A COUPLE OF WAYS WE CAN DO REDUNDANCY WITH A , UH, LOOKING TO GET A SECOND FEEDER FROM A DIFFERENT TRANSFORMER WITHIN THE SAME SUBSTATION.
OR WE CAN DO A SEPARATE SUBSTATION ALTOGETHER WITH HAVING TWO FEEDERS COMING OUT, UH, UH, ADDITIONAL FEATURES COMING OUT OF THE SUBSTATION.
IT GIVES YOU THAT, THAT BANDWIDTH TO BE ABLE TO SAY, OKAY, IT WAS ANOTHER FEEDER OUT OF THAT SUBSTATION.
SO PART OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE SEEING IN ADDITION TO THIS, A REQUEST FOR THE RELOCATION IS ADDITIONAL TRANSFORMATION IN THAT SUBSTATION.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? SURE.
IF I MAY, UM, FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE YOU TO WALK THE BOARD THROUGH THIS EXHIBIT.
UM, THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT, UH, CALL-OUTS ON IT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY SEES IT THE SAME WAY.
SO GOING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE RED LINE, UM, THE FIRST BENT THAT'S HERE
[00:15:01]
IS DEPICTED BY THAT GRAY LINE THAT IS BEFORE THE BLACK LINE THAT GOES INTO THE RED AND IT SAYS PROPOSED 75 FOOT WIDE DRAINAGE LINE EASEMENT.WHO'S PROPOSING THAT EASEMENT.
AND, UM, WHY IS IT SHOWN AS A PROPOSED EASEMENT ON THIS EXHIBIT? IF THIS CONSIDERED PROPOSED IS JUST BASED WHAT THEY FOUND ON RECORDS? AND SO ANY CALL-OUTS THAT WE HAVE ON THERE FOR WHETHER IT'S A JONAH'S SECURITY, I JUST POSED, HE'S BENT THOUGH ISN'T FILED AND DEED RECORDS HAVE PROPOSED AN EASEMENT WOULD BE FILED IN DEED RECORDS.
SO WHAT'S, IT WOULD BE WHATEVER THE SURVEY IS FOUND IN THEIR RESEARCH TO PUT THAT TOGETHER.
SO THE ONLY THING THAT WE WOULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SPEAK ON OR TO ACTUALLY REQUEST FOR IT WOULD BE THE ENCORE EASTMAN.
AND SO THE RED LINE IS THE ENCORE EASEMENT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND SO IS THE RED LINE MARKED AS A 20 FOOT WATER EASEMENT AS WELL? IT IS SIR.
UM, WHEN THIS WAS INITIALLY SUBMITTED, IT WAS, THEY MADE IT WITH A 20 FOOT EASEMENT.
UM, BUT THE REVISIONS WILL BE PRESENTED WITH A 15 FOOT EASEMENT 15.
OH, BECAUSE NOW THE, THE WIDTH OF IT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT L ONE ACTUALLY CALLS OUT ON THIS.
WE CAN GO LOOK AT THAT, BUT IT APPEARS FROM A, JUST A SIZE ON THIS.
CAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A SCALE DIAGRAM THAT THE, THAT THE RED EASEMENT IS OF EQUAL SIZE TO THE PROPOSED 75 FOOT WIDE DRAINAGE EASEMENT.
AND SO IS THAT ANOTHER ERROR IN THE EXHIBIT OR IS THAT BECAUSE IT'S MARKED OUT AS A 20 FOOTER, BUT IT REALLY LOOKS AS IT'S THE SAME WIDTH AS THE 75 FOOT EASEMENT.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHICH I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THAT WOULD BE AN ERROR IN THE EXHIBIT ITSELF AND HOW IT WAS PUT TOGETHER.
AND WHERE IS THE LINE CURRENTLY? THE LINE HERE TODAY RUNS ON THIS IS REFLECTING THE NEW, UH, THE NEW TEXT OUT RIGHT AWAY.
THE LINE IS FURTHER TO THE EAST.
IT DOESN'T, I DON'T BELIEVE IT SHOWS IT ON HERE.
SO IT'S ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE OF 33, 49 THEN IN ESSENCE IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT ENCORE IS ULTIMATELY PROPOSING IS THAT THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION LINES RUN ON WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE NORTHBOUND SIDE OF 33 49, WHEREAS Y'ALL ARE ASKING TO MOVE THEM OVER TO THE MEGA SITE, WHICH WOULD NOW PUT IT IN ESSENCE ON THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE OF, OF 33 49.
IS THAT CORRECT? IT SOUTHBOUND SIDE.
YES, YOU'RE RIGHT NOW YOU'RE ON THIS SIDE, IT'S ON THE WEST SIDE TODAY.
IT'S ON THE WEST SIDE ON, ON RIGHT AWAY WHERE REQUESTS AND HE GOES, STAY ON THE WEST SIDE, BUT MOVE INTO AN EASTMAN WITHIN THE, UH, THE PROPERTY.
SO HE SAID NORTH AND SOUTH NOW YOU'RE SAYING IS ON THE WEST.
SO WHICH, WHICH WAY IS NORTH NORTH IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR PAGE.
SO YOU CAN SEE ONE POLE ALREADY, CURRENTLY EXISTING.
WOULD IT BE EASY TO SWITCH OVER TO A GOOGLE OVERVIEW OF JUST THE SITE? AT LEAST MY PHONE DOESN'T MY PHONE DOESN'T DRILL IN DEEP ENOUGH TO WHERE GOOGLE MATTERS.
SO, SO TODAY THE LINE DOES EXIST ON THE WEST SIDE OF 33 49, BUT IT'S IN THE RIGHT OF WAY.
AND SO WHEN THE, WHAT, THE NEW ACQUISITION OF THE TEXTILE RIGHT AWAY, IT'S IN, IT'S IN CONFLICT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND SO, UM, BECAUSE OF THE BRIDGE LIMITATIONS WITH A 150 FOOT SEPARATION REQUIREMENT, UM, THAT'S, UH, BASICALLY REQUIRED US TO TRY AND SEEK THIS EASEMENT.
SO LET ME, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
WOULD, WOULD, WOULD ENCORE ELECTRIC DELIVERY BE INTERESTED IN, UH, UH, A SWAP THAT IF, IF WE, IF, IF THE, IF THE, UH, THE, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION PROVIDES 4140.05 FEET OF ELECTRICAL LINE LENGTH OF THESE, THAT IN THE EVENT THAT THE CITY HAS A NEED TO RELOCATE ENCORE, ELECTRIC DELIVERY, EXISTING FACILITIES, BECAUSE OF A ROAD WIDENING OR OTHER PROGRAM THAT, THAT YOU WOULD RELOCATE THAT AT NO COST TO THE CITY FOR THE SAME LINK, IT'S SOMETHING I CAN CERTAINLY TAKE BACK.
AND THE OTHER THING, WHEN YOU WANT TO TAKE BACK IS THAT THAT WE'RE AWARE OF, OF OFFERS TO PURCHASE PROPERTY IN THIS IMMEDIATE VICINITY AT OVER $6, A SQUARE FOOT, $2 IS A LONG TIME OF $2 WAS BEFORE SAMSUNG ANNOUNCED.
W YEAH, SO WE'RE, WE'RE AWARE OF ACTUAL OFFERS OVER OVER $6 A SQUARE FOOT.
AND AGAIN, THAT THAT'S OUR STARTING, RIGHT.
AND SO ONE THING THAT WE ARE KEEPING IN MIND IS THE BENEFIT THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS BRING AS WELL, VERSUS WHAT'S THERE TODAY, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? CAN YOU FIND OUT IF, UH, WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, BECAUSE THAT MAY BE, UH, AN ITEM THAT WE WOULD WANT TO CONSIDER ALSO.
HOW ABOUT POSSIBLE? WHICH HELPS THE CITY OUT.
BELMONT, RE-PURPOSING THE THING THAT MIGHT BE, WELL, NOT EVEN REPURPOSE IT, CAUSE IF THOSE ARE TRANSMISSION POLES, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO USE THEM.
SO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR DISTRIBUTION OF THOSE.
I'M SORRY TO GET CREDIT OR SOMETHING.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING.
[00:20:01]
POLES YOU'RE LOOKING AT, BUT IN DISTRIBUTION POLES UP, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S RIGHT.AND SO IF THAT'S THE CASE THAT MAYBE, YOU KNOW, TO SEE YOU COULD GET CREDIT, AS OPPOSED TO, UH, YOU KNOW, ANY TYPE OF, UH, RENUMERATION THAT THE BOARD MIGHT GET, IT'D BE CREDIT GOING BACK TO THE CITY.
UH, I'LL FOLLOW UP AS ZERO FOR THE CITY.
I'LL DEFINITELY TAKE THAT BACK AND VISIT WITH OUR TRANSMISSION PARTNERS AND PROVIDE AN UPDATE.
AND IF YOU WANT, CONTINUE TO WORK WITH BOB AND, UH, JUST FOR PURPOSES OF THE BOARD, UM, WE MET LAST WEEK CONCERNING THIS PROJECT AND OF COURSE, DECIDED TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD SO WE CAN GO AHEAD AND MEET AGAIN.
AND I KNOW, I THINK YOU MENTIONED IN THAT MEETING, THAT IS OF THE ESSENCE ALSO FOR YOU, BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET ALL THIS STUFF RELOCATE AND GET IT DONE.
JUST WORKING WITH, UH, THE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO TAKE PLACE.
WELL, WE'RE ALWAYS SENDING TWO HOURS AWAY FROM MEETING THAT'S, THAT'S THE UNFORTUNATE PART FOR YOU, BUT IF YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION AND FIND OUT QUICKLY, THEN WE CAN KIND OF MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION.
CAUSE AGAIN, WE'RE NOT SCHEDULED TO HAVE ANOTHER MEETING UNTIL, UH, APRIL, BUT YOU KNOW, IF, IF WE CAN GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT THAT WE COULD PROBABLY GET TAKEN CARE OF PRETTY QUICK.
I'LL GIVE YOU THAT COMMITMENT ON OUR PART.
I ASKED ONE MORE QUESTION IF WE SAY NO, WHAT'S YOUR PLAN B IF THE ANSWER IS NO, WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO DESIGN AND SEE HOW WE CAN MAKE THIS FIT WITHIN THE EXISTING RIGHT AWAY.
UM, AGAIN, JUST RECOGNIZING THE LIMITATIONS THAT WE SEE WITH, WITH THE NEW RIGHT AWAY IN THE BRIDGE DESIGN, RIGHT? SO THE BRIDGE DESIGN IS LIKELY NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
AND SO WE'D HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET IN THERE, UM, WITHOUT BEING IN VIOLATION OF ANY OF THOSE.
WE'VE GOT THIS PICTURE THAT WE JUST PUT UP THERE AS A WHOLE LOT BETTER.
SO, SO THERE, THE, THE BLUE LINE THERE, UH, SHOWS THE PROPOSED, UH, EASTMAN THAT WE'RE REQUESTING.
AND THEN THE RED LINE IS THE NEW, UH, ACQUIRED RIGHT AWAY.
AND SO THE LION EXISTING LINE, THAT'S ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE EXISTING, UH, COUNTY ROAD, 33 49.
IF YOU CAN FIND OUT THAT INFORMATION.
UM, I'D LIKE YOU TO AT LEAST BE ABLE TO SPEAK UP ON WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S OTHER ENCUMBRANCES OVER THE PROPERTY YOU'RE CURRENTLY HAVE BECAUSE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HAS COOPERATED WITH, UM, WELCO IN ORDER TO ACQUIRE CERTAIN PROPERTIES FOR THE, UH, FOR THE EXPANSE, THE RUNWAY EXPANSION.
AND SO I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU THAT.
I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
AND TO THAT POINT, WHAT BOARD MEMBER GAMBA WAS SPEAKING OF, I THINK, I THINK EVERYBODY WANTS TO PARTNER AND WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A, THIS IS A GOOD ECONOMIC THING TO HAVE THE ROAD COME THROUGH AND THE UTILITIES, UM, IT'S JUST, RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAD A PIECE OF PROPERTY AND EVERYBODY THAT COMES UP, WE KEEP LOSING MORE AND MORE PROPERTY AND IT'S ALL FOR GOOD THINGS, BUT IT'S MAKING IT HARDER AND HARDER.
AS WE ENCUMBER THE PROPERTY WITH DIFFERENT UTILITIES ROADWAYS, WE HELPED THE COUNTY WITH THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT.
UM, BEFORE LONG, WE'RE GOING TO END UP AT SOME POINT, WE'VE GOT TO GET COMPENSATED BECAUSE WE OWE MONEY ON THE LAND.
UM, AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE CAN MAYBE FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE PARTNERS, SOMEBODY, IDEAS, TRADING, YOU KNOW, TRADING THE LINES OR, YOU KNOW, A CREDIT FOR THE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS PURCHASED ON THE NORTH SIDE.
THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, MAYBE, MAYBE IT WON'T COST YOU ALL AS MUCH MONEY CAUSE YOU CAN USE THOSE THINGS SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT IT WILL HELP THE CITY.
AND IN GENERAL, THE EDC OVERALL, UM, WITH THIS WHOLE AREA, CAUSE WE OWN LAND ALL THE LAND, THE CITY OWNS THE EDC AND ALL OF OUR LDCS ARE ALL IN THIS VICINITY.
SO IT'S DEFINITELY A BENEFIT FOR US ALL TO WORK TOGETHER.
ABSOLUTELY KNOW THE QUESTIONS FROM ONE.
JUST CONTINUE TO WORK WITH BOB AND WE'LL KEEP IN COMMUNICATION.
MY QUESTION IS, IS WOULD THIS BE SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO COME BACK TO THE FULL BOARD THAT WE WOULD AT A POINT THAT WE WOULD AUTHORIZE THE CHAIRMAN AND BOB TO WORK ON THAT SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR A THREE-DAY MEETING? UM, ACTUALLY, NO.
AND THE ONLY REASON WHY IS THAT IF, IF WE HAVE SPECIFIC TERMS, YOU COULD APPROVE THOSE TERMS AND LET THEM FINISH OUT THE OTHER PARTS.
BUT IF, IF THERE ARE TERMS YET TO BE DONE, UM, IT'S YOUR, UM, YOUR AUTHORITY CANNOT BE DELEGATED TO OTHERS IN ORDER TO TAKE CHOICES OF YES OR NO.
WE LEARNED THAT ON THE CITY SIDE, I DELEGATED OUR AUTHORITY ALL THE WAY.
LET'S MOVE ON TO AGENDA SIX, TO DISCUSS, CONSIDER ACTION ON A REQUEST BY MATTER HORN EXPRESS PIPELINE FOR AN EASEMENT ON THE MEGA SITE, WHO DO WE HAVE TO ANYBODY SPEAK ON THAT? WELL, WE GOT CONTACTED BY SURVEY
[00:25:02]
LAST WEEK AND WE HAD AN INTEREST IN PERHAPS CARRYING IT THROUGH OUR PROPERTY.I FORWARD I SPOKE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SORT OF GALLERIES OF IT.
HE WAS GOING TO TALK TO YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT ABOUT SOME OF OUR CHOICES.
THIS IS AN ITEM THAT IS ALSO ADDRESSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
AND SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO HOLD OFF ON THAT ONE TO POSTPONE IT UNTIL AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION.
BUT WE MOVE ON IS WHAT WHAT'S THE PIPELINE GOING TO CARRY? IT WAS A PETROLEUM PIPELINE, RIGHT? BRENT OR NATURALLY.
SO WE WANT TO ADD THEM SIX, THREE WE'LL RESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECONSIDER A SIX TWO WOULDN'T GET OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION SIX 30 DISCUSSING CONSIDER ACTION TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD CHAIR TO EXECUTE AN ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS, CONVEYING OPTIONS TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT.
DOES THIS GOING TO BE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION AS ALSO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION? LET'S HOLD OFF ON THAT ONE.
UH, SIX, FOUR ALSO, UH, SIX, FIVE ALSO SIX, SIX.
SIX DAYS FINALLY, UH, DISCUSS AND, UH, CONSIDER ACTION AUTHORIZED AND DISBURSEMENT OF THE SECOND INCENTIVE TO K TONIC FOR THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE CORPORATION.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, UM, THEY HAVE RECEIVED THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY AT K TARGET K TONIC.
IS THAT CORRECT? CAN YOU SPEAK ON THAT STACY? YEAH.
ASSOCIATED AT FRIDAY MORNING, THEY HAVE THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY OCCUPANCY.
MY UNDERSTANDING IN THE JANUARY MEETING, WHEN THEY CAME BEFORE THE, WE STATED THAT WE WOULD AUTHORIZE THE REMAINING PAYMENT THAT'S DUE TO THEM.
ONCE THEY RECEIVE THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, WHICH THEY NOW HAVE, AND THAT WAS THE REQUIREMENT IN THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT.
AND SO NOW THAT THEY'VE MET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT, WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU TAKE ACTION TO RELEASE THE SECOND PAYMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT TO CHAIRMAN'S POINT.
WE ALREADY DID THAT IN JANUARY.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK.
DO WE HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN SINCE WE'VE ALREADY DONE IT YET? YOU NEED, YOU NEED TO DO THAT NOW.
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COVERING OUR BASES.
SO EMOTIONAL BE IN ORDER, I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION.
I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO THERE AND SEE IT.
SO I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE SECOND INCENTIVE FOR K TONIC, UM, TO, UH, FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE AGREEMENTS WITH THE CORPORATION.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ROLL CALL PLEASE.
SEAN LUCAS, I BOARD MEMBER RANDALL CLERK, BOARD MEMBER MIKE SNYDER, CHAIRMAN MICHAEL MENDEZ, VICE CHAIR, DON CARLSON BOARD MEMBER CHAINING GAMBOA.
AND I'M SURE, UH, BOB YOU'LL WORK WITH ANGIE TO GET THAT CHECK DISTRIBUTED.
LET'S GO TO ITEM SIX, SEVEN UPDATES FROM SUB COMMITTEES.
I WANT TO KIND OF HAVE THEM STANDING ON THEM SO WE CAN BEGIN TO START DISCUSSING THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT WE HAVE.
UH, I CAN TELL YOU, I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE HUDDLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, TIM JORDAN, ASKING IF THEY HAD RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION BACK CONCERNING THE BUSINESS STRATEGIC PLAN.
I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM, I DUNNO IF YOU'VE TALKED TO HIM EITHER, SO I DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT, THAT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO WORK THROUGH.
SO, UM, BUT WE'LL SEE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE.
UM, SO WE ARE HOPEFULLY FINALIZING THE LOGO SELECTION THIS WEEK, HOPEFULLY, AND WE GOT AN UPDATE FROM ALISON THAT OUR WEBSITE SHOULD THEN BE LAUNCHED IN JULY AFTER THEY HAVE OUR OFFICIAL COLORS AND LOGO AND ALL OF THAT READY TO GO.
SO WE'RE JUST TWEAKING THE LOGO A LITTLE BIT AND IT'LL BE READY TO PRESENT.
I THINK THAT PUTS US READY FOR A LOT OF THE MILESTONES OF ONE HAVING OUR WEBSITE UP AND RUNNING, BUT TWO HAVING A LOT OF MARKETING MATERIAL FOR THE UPCOMING EVENTS IN 2022 THAT WE SHOULD BE READY FOR THAT.
SO, UM, I THINK WE SHOULD BE GOOD.
UM, I DID NOTICE ON THE MEMO THAT WE HAVE BEFORE US, IT STATES THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UP AND LAUNCHED IN MID JULY.
DO WE HAVE AN IDEA AS TO WHY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG TO GET A WEBSITE UP AND RUNNING? CAUSE WE AUTHORIZE THIS BACK IN.
I WANT TO SAY AUGUST, SEPTEMBER LAST YEAR.
SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE COMMUNICATION WE SAW WAS THAT IT IS THE LOGO REDESIGN AND THE COLORS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR LAYOUT WITHOUT THE COLOR SELECTION AND THE LOGOS TO PUT ON THERE.
AND SINCE THE EDC WAS NOT CONSULTED AT THAT TIME, WE DECIDED TO
[00:30:01]
HAVE INPUT THIS TIME AROUND.AND SO THAT'S THE DELAY LIKE AS TO LOOK AT A DIFFERENT COMPANY, TO PUT IT TOGETHER, IF THE CHANGING OF THE COLOR AND THE LOGO COST SIX MONTHS DELAY, I WOULD THINK YOU COULD HAVE A COMPLETE WEBSITE RUNNING AND THEN YOU GO, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO GO FROM BLUE TO ORANGE HAS GOTTA BE A CLICK OF A BUTTON.
STYLE SHEETS IS ONE ELEMENT OF IT.
THE OTHER PART IS YOU PUT IN A FILLER LOGO.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S, YOU CAN PUT ANYTHING YOU WANT THERE.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HURT ANYTHING, UH, TO BE TOLD, IT'S GOING TO TAKE SIX MONTHS IF I WAS DOING THIS AND YOU KNOW, MY FULL-TIME JOB, IT'D BE COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO BE LIKE, PUT SOMETHING THERE, MAKE IT WORK, RIGHT.
I'M NOT A GENIUS, BUT GO DADDY, YOU CAN KNOCK IT OUT IN A WEEKEND.
AND I KNOW WE'RE ASKING FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT, BUT THEY'RE ALSO USED IN PROFESSIONALS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS COSTS, IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND 10, $15,000 OR I'M ASSUMING IT'S PROBABLY MORE THAN THAT BECAUSE NOTHING'S THAT CHEAP.
IT ACTUALLY, I'M GOING TO DEFER FROM, UM, SEAN A. LITTLE BIT, JULY MUSLIN.
I EVEN HAVE IT DONE THIS YEAR BECAUSE JULY YOU MISS YOU MISS THE BIGGEST REAL ESTATE CONFERENCE IN THE NATION IN MAY.
UM, AND SO YOU WON'T HAVE ANYTHING READY THERE.
SO WE'LL BE OUT PASSING OUT INFORMATION, TRYING TO GET LEADS, BUT WE WON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO LEAD THEM TO.
AND SO REALLY IT TO ME, IF YOU CAN HAVE IT DONE BY LIKE MAY 1ST, THEN DON'T EVEN DO IT THIS YEAR AND GET SOMEBODY ELSE THAT CAN DO IT AND CANCEL A CONTRACT OR I DON'T KNOW IT'S WELL, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION ALSO BECAUSE YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, GODADDY, OR YOU SAID YOU DO IT ON YOURS.
I THINK WE WOULD PROBABLY HIRE A HIGH SCHOOL KID.
HE HE'D DONE GET IT DONE OVERNIGHT.
UM, WELL PROBABLY BEING A LITTLE FACETIOUS, BUT THEY COULD DO IT A LOT QUICKER AND IT JUST, IT JUST, I'M JUST, I'M TAKING HER BACK THAT HE WOULD TAKE A PROFESSIONAL MARKETING FIRM THIS LONG TO DEVELOP A WEBSITE.
I MEAN, I'M JUST, UH, I'M SURE IS ON OUR WAY UP, BUT I, IT JUST, I'M TRYING TO, TRYING TO FIND THE NOTES.
WELL, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS, IF THERE'S MORE TO IT, I THINK WE NEED TO KNOW, BECAUSE JUST HEARING, SEEING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE MID JULY WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING ELSE IS LIKE, AS YOU SAID, UNACCEPTABLE, YOU CAN USE OUR PLACEHOLDER LOGO WE HAVE RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE TWEAKING.
I'D BETTER GO WITH THE LOGO WE DON'T WANT AND HAVE IT DONE NEXT WEEK, THEN THE NEW LOGO IN JULY.
BUT WHAT WOULD I CAN'T TELL YOU IS WE'RE NOT THEIR ONLY CLIENT.
AND SO WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROJECT BACK WITH HIM, I DON'T REMEMBER.
WE ENDED THE YEAR VERSUS THE YEAR.
UM, THEY WERE NOT AS BUSY AS YOU'VE MENTIONED, THERE'S A LOT MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOP AND THIS TYPE OF WEBSITE TO HAVE THAT ZOOM PROSPECT OVERLAID ON IT AND ALL OF THE OTHER MAPS AND THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING.
SO ONCE WE SAID, WE'RE CHANGING COLORS, WE'RE CHANGING LOGOS, WE'RE CHANGING THE WHOLE BRANDING PIECE OF IT.
THEY'RE LIKE, OKAY, WELL YOU GOT TO GO TO THE BACK OF THE LINE BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THESE OTHERS AND WE'RE TRYING TO PUSH THOSE THROUGH.
ONCE YOU GET YOUR THINGS BACK TOGETHER, THEN WE'LL START WORKING ON IT AGAIN.
SO WE'RE NOT THEIR ONLY CLIENT AND IT'S, IT'S NOT JUST LOGO AND BRANDING.
THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER ELEMENTS THAT PLAY INTO IT.
SO IT'S, IT'S JUST KIND OF ON HOLD.
AND ONCE WE GET THAT, THEN THEY'LL GO BACK TO THAT.
I MEAN, THAT'S WORST CASE SCENARIO.
AND I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO BE, YOU KNOW, UNDER, YOU KNOW, OVER PROMISE UNDER DELIVER.
THEY DON'T, THEY WANT TO MEET OUR DEADLINE.
SO IT MAY BE SOONER THAN THAT.
WELL, IT SAYS WE'VE BEEN ADVISED THAT MID JULY IS NOW THE EARLIEST POTENTIAL DATE THE SITE COULD LAUNCH OR AT THE BACK OF THE LINE.
WELL, BUT THAT'S BEST CASE SCENARIO.
THAT'S NOT WORST CASE SCENARIO AGAIN.
I THINK IF WE GET THIS DONE AND THEN BY THE END OF THE WEEK, I DON'T THINK THEY WANTED TO PROMISE US SOMETHING THAT THEY COULDN'T DELIVER ON.
NOT KNOWING WHEN WE THEY'RE KIND OF IN LIMBO, WAITING FOR US AGAIN.
AND THEN WE KIND OF SAID, OH WAIT, WE GOT TO MAKE STOCK.
AND SO THEY PUT US ON HOLD AND WHEN WE COME BACK TO THEM, BUT THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHEN WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO THEM WITH EVERYTHING FINISHED.
WELL, IT MAKES ME QUESTION THAT THE FIRM, IF THEY'RE WAITING ON A LOGO AND THEY PUT IT TO THE BACK OF THE LINE, BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE ON THE WEBSITE AND NOT JUST THE LOGO AND THE COLOR SCHEME.
AND SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY ARE THEY NOT W DEVELOPING THE REST OF THE WEBSITE, WAITING FOR THE COLOR SCHEME AND THE LOGO, AS OPPOSED TO PUTTING US IN THE BACK OF THE LINE.
ONCE WE DECIDE THAT, AND THEN THEY'LL FINISH THE WEBSITE.
I MEAN, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.
AND I WISH WE'D PROBABLY SHOULD'VE THOUGHT AHEAD OF TIME AND HAD THEM HERE TO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THAT TO US, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU'RE KIND OF PASSING INFORMATION FROM THEM TO US.
UH, AND THAT'S REALLY WHO SHOULD WE, WE SHOULD BE TALKING TO.
BUT I JUST, I DON'T UNDERSTAND
[00:35:01]
HOW THEY CAN SAY THAT WE GOT PUT TO THE BACK OF THE LINE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T DECIDE ON A LOGO OR A COLOR SCHEME THAT JUST DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.I CAN, I CAN READ YOU WHAT THEY SENT US.
AND THIS WAS ON MARCH THE NINTH.
I THINK ALL OF YOU GUYS WERE ON THERE, BUT, UM, THEY SAY WE'VE ADJUSTED THE MILESTONES.
IF WE GET THE BRAND AND COLORS BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK, THAT WAS, THEY SENT IT ON THE NINTH.
AS OF RIGHT NOW, SINCE WE DON'T KNOW THE CHANGES TO THE BRAND, WE CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT THE ADDITIONAL COSTS WILL BE.
IF THE BRAND AND COLORS ARE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR AND CHANGES WILL BE MINIMAL, THERE BE AN ADDITIONAL COST.
IF THE CHANGES ARE DRASTIC, THEN THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL COST TO THE RECREATE, THE HOMEPAGE.
AND OTHER, OTHER THINGS WE HAVE DESIGNED AROUND THE ORIGINAL BRAND.
SO THAT WAS KIND OF WHAT THEY SAID AT THAT POINT.
UM, WE HAVE COMMUNICATED THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW WHEN WE WILL HAVE EVERYTHING READY TO GO BACK TO THEM YET.
UM, BUT AGAIN, THEY'RE, THEY'RE WAITING ON TO SEE HOW MUCH IT IMPACTS THE WHOLE DESIGN AND LAYOUT AND HOW MANY PAGES ARE IMPACTED ALSO.
AND WHEN WAS THE ORIGINAL LAUNCH? CAUSE I REMEMBER I FELT LIKE THIS WASN'T LIKE A HUGE DELAYED, I, I FEEL LIKE IT WAS LIKE, YEAH, MAY WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE.
WHEN DID WE SECURE THE CONTRACT WITH THEM? IT WAS WHAT AUGUST.
CAUSE THEN WE HAVE TO COME BACK IN THE FISCAL YEAR AND APPROVE THE MONIES BECAUSE WE DIDN'T DO IT CORRECTLY OR SOMETHING.
WE HAD TO COME BACK IN FISCAL YEAR, WHICH WOULD MAKE IT AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER, BECAUSE I REMEMBER WE HAD TO COME BACK IN AFTER THE FISCAL YEAR BEGAN TO APPROVE THE ALLOCATION OF MONIES AGAIN, BECAUSE EITHER WE SAID, WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE A VOTE OR ALLOCATE THE CASH, THE EXACT AMOUNT SOMETHING HAPPENED.
AND WE HAD TO COME BACK TO THE FISCAL YEAR AND APPROVE IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
I MEAN, WE'RE SIX MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AND THEY'RE TELLING US NOW IT'S GOING TO BE IN JULY, WHICH MEANS IT'S GOING TO TAKE ALMOST NINE, 10 MONTHS BEFORE THEY EVEN GET THIS THING UP AND GOING.
AND I MEAN, I'M JUST, I'M SORRY, BUT THAT JUST, WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE COMPANY? UM, SWEET SUITES.
UH, I THINK THEY DO THIS FOR A LIVING.
UM, ANYBODY CAN MAKE A NAME, YOU KNOW, I ALSO, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE GOT THE MARKETING PLAN AND THE LOGO APPROVED BACK IN.
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHEN THAT WAS, WHEN JHL DID THAT.
WE STARTED WORKING DOWN THAT PATH AND THEN WE CHANGED, YOU KNOW, LOGO AND ALL OF THAT.
DIDN'T HAPPEN TILL LIKE OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, ONCE WE GOT THAT, THAT PIECE OF IT DONE AND NOW WE'VE MADE A CHANGE.
SO THAT PUT US BEHIND SCHEDULE AND YOU KNOW, STACY, I KNOW YOU'RE JUST THE MESSENGERS IN THE PHONE BY KNOW, IT'S MY TRYING TO SHOOT YOU.
CAUSE YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE TRYING TO PLAY WITH, I'M NOT A WEB DESIGNER CREATE WEBSITES, BUT REALISTICALLY, AND I'VE WORKED WITH THE MARKETING AND SHE'S BEFORE YOU GET TO DOING FULL WEBSITE REVAMPS TO, YOU KNOW, FULL MARKETING REVAMPS ACROSS THE BOARD, YOU NAME IT.
UM, AND TO HAVE SOMEBODY NOT SAY, HEY, I'M GOING TO PUT A STOCK IMAGE OR SOMETHING IN THERE TO MAKE IT WORK, UM, TO GET A, UH, A SAMPLE TO APPROVE OFF ON, WHICH I DON'T ACTUALLY EVER HAVE SEEN.
I COULD BE WRONG, BUT I CHANGING COLORS AND CHANGING LOGOS IS SIMPLE.
THERE IS NO REASON THAT IS LOGICAL OR THAT I WOULD BUY THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO TAKE THE NINE MONTHS TO A YEAR TO MAKE A WEBSITE THAT'S GOING TO EQUATE TO WHAT 10 PAGES IN TOTAL.
I MEAN, THAT IS MOVING SLOWER THAN TXDOT BUILDING A ROAD, NO OFFENSE TO TECH STOCK.
BUT I MEAN, BUT SERIOUSLY, LIKE, I MEAN THE, THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT TAKES, WE COULD FIND SOMEBODY ELSE.
I MEAN, AND REALISTICALLY I THINK WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS THE WEBSITE TO SAY, GET IT DONE AND WE WANT IT DONE NOW.
AND THEN AFTER THAT, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER CHANGES OR ANYTHING ELSE WE WANT TO, WE CAN EITHER HAVE THE CITY STAFF INTERNALLY TAKE CARE OF IT IN TERMS OF LOOK AND FEEL OR HIRE SOMEBODY EXTERNALLY OR WHATEVER ELSE.
BUT I JUST, THERE'S, THERE'S SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT THIS WEBSITE THAT IS JUST, IT'S TAKING LITERALLY DEARS TO GO ON AND WE'RE JUST BEING TOLD TO, YOU KNOW, HEY, WELL, IT'S THIS NOW THERE'S, THERE'S SOMETHING MORE TO IT EITHER THEY WERE PROMISED THEMSELVES OR OVER LEVERAGED THEMSELVES OR SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT YEAH, OR THAT, I MEAN, IT JUST, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT SMELLS FISHY CHAIR IF I MAY.
I MEAN, UH, IF OUR ORIGINAL CONTRACT SAID THAT THEY'D DELIVER IT BY MAY 1ST, UM, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY STILL TO PERFORM.
UM, IF YOU'D LIKE TO DRAG STAFF TO BRING BACK TO THEM, UH, AN ISSUE THAT EITHER THEY'RE GOING TO COMPLY WITH THAT, OR THEY NEED TO BE AT OUR NEXT MONTH'S MEETING TO TELL US WHY THEY CAN'T.
UM, THEN I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE, I THINK IT WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE OPTION
[00:40:01]
HERE.UM, CAUSE THEY MAY BE ABLE TO REALLOCATE RESOURCES, UNDERSTANDING THE POSITION THAT THE BOARD'S CURRENTLY IN, IN ORDER TO MAKE THE DEADLINE THAT WE HAD AGREED TO, WHICH WAS MAY 1ST.
AND I CAN GO BACK AND PUT TOGETHER THE ENTIRE TIMELINE OF WHEN THE VERY FIRST WHERE THAT MARKETING PLAN LOGO, ALL OF THAT WAS BROUGHT GO BACK.
AND ALSO REMEMBER THAT WHOLE ALLOCATION.
I DO THINK YOU'RE RIGHT CHAIRMAN.
LIKE WE, WE BROUGHT AT ONE TIME AND IT WASN'T APPROVED UNTIL WE HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE IT WAS ACTUALLY GOT APPROVED.
THE FUNDS GOT APPROPRIATE AND ANGIE POINTED IT OUT TO US THAT WE DIDN'T DO IT PROPERLY.
SO WE HAD TO COME BACK AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WAS ANOTHER TIMEFRAME.
UM, SO I CAN GO BACK AND PUT THAT ENTIRE TIMELINE BACK TOGETHER.
EXACTLY HOW EVERYTHING LINED OUT AND THEN ALSO GO BACK AND PULL THE CONTRACT AND THE SCOPE OF WORK.
AND DID WE MEET ALL OF OUR DEADLINES? UM, I WILL TELL YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, THE MARKETING STAFF AT THE CITY IS, IS PUTTING A LOT OF HOURS INTO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MARKETING.
UM, PEDRO HAS DONE A GREAT JOB, BUT SPENDING A LOT OF TIME, UM, JUST WITH THAT GROUP ALTOGETHER, WE'RE WORKING ON, UM, THERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, WE'RE SPENDING ABOUT 200 HOURS A MONTH JUST ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS.
SO THAT TEAM IS DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PUSH THAT ALONG.
AND PEDRO HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF REVAMPING, UM, AND DOING THAT NEW LOGO.
THANK YOU, JANIE AND SEAN FOR BEING THE, THE CREATIVE DIRECTORS BEHIND THE SCENES ON THAT.
WELL, IT NEEDS TO, UNFORTUNATELY IT'S KIND OF THE WAY VICE CHAIRMAN CARLSON WAS SAYING YOU'RE JUST A MESSENGER.
AND I THINK THAT THE REALITY IS THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE THE, FROM HERE TO TELL US WHY IT'S DOING THAT.
SO IF YOU CAN, OR WITH BOB, WHATEVER, FORGOT THAT TIMELINE AND, UH, GET THAT IF YOU DON'T MIND BLIND COPYING AND SENDING IT TO THE, TO THE BOARD.
SO WE HAVE IT, WE CAN SAY I HAVE SOMETHING TO REVIEW BEFORE WE COME BACK IN AND BE ABLE TO START ASKING QUESTIONS.
AND BECAUSE I, YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST LIKE, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TAKEN THIS LONG TO GET A WEBSITE.
THE WEBSITE IS WHAT WE NEED IN ORDER TO DRIVE PEOPLE THERE.
AND IF WE'RE LOOKING AT GOING TO THESE CONFERENCES TO TRY TO DIRECT PEOPLE INTO HADOW AND YET WE'D HAVE TO TELL HIM, SO, YOU KNOW, TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT PROVIDING ANYTHING FOR THEM.
AND THE WEBSITE WAS THE GATEWAY FOR US FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
WELL, I WILL SAY WE HAVE IMPROVED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE AND WHEN WE ARE MARKETING, WE'RE USING THAT AS A DIRECT PAGE TO SEND THEM TO, AND THAT'S WHERE THE ZOOM PROSPECT OR THOSE ELEMENTS ARE THERE.
NOW WE ACTUALLY DID GET A LEAD BOB.
SO THEY ARE, THEY ARE USING THAT ELEMENT OF IT.
SO THEY'RE GOING IN THERE AND LOOKING TO SEE WHAT LOCATIONS ARE AVAILABLE AND WHAT THE LAYOUTS ARE.
AND SO THAT, THAT PART IS WORKING.
IS IT WHAT WE WANT A STANDALONE WEBSITE? NO, BUT I WILL.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING FOR THEM TO AT LEAST LOOK AT.
BUT THEN THAT BRINGS IT FURTHER TO THE POINT.
THERE'S NO REASON THEY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HIT SOMETHING BY MAY 1ST THAT'S INDEPENDENT, EVEN LEVERAGING WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE THROUGH THE CITY.
AND EVEN IF IT'S POINTING TO A SEPARATE PAGE THAT LINKS BACK TO THE PAGE FROM THE CITY.
SO THERE, IN MY OPINION, REGARDLESS OF DELAYS ON ANY PART, THERE'S NO REASON WE SHOULDN'T HAVE SOMETHING HERE WORKING THAT WE CAN CLICK ON BY MAY 1ST.
AND WE HAVE W YOU ALL APPROVE THAT.
AND WE GOT THE SIGNATURE FOR THE DOMAIN NAME.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE P WE CAN GET THAT.
AND TO THE WEBSITE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH THOSE PAGES, BASICALLY ALMOST MAKE IT LIKE A LANDING PAGE AND HAVE IT DIRECTLY GO TO THAT LINK THOSE TWO TOGETHER.
AND WHEN YOU'RE GETTING IT, I'M GOING GONNA SAY, WHEN YOU GET INTO TIMELINE, CAN YOU ADD IN, I KNOW, CHENEY AND I SAW A TIMELINE OF WHAT THEY'RE WORKING ON A, WHY THEY WERE WORKING ON IT.
SO MORE OF A, I THINK THAT WOULD GIVE SOME CLARITY.
I DON'T, I CAN'T FIND IT, BUT OKAY.
AND I WAS TRYING TO, YEAH, I WAS TRYING TO FIND IT TOO QUICKLY AND CAUSE IT'S VERY EASY, UH, WHY THEY'RE HITTING THESE MILESTONES AND WHY WE WERE GOING TO RELEASE, UM, ON A CERTAIN DATE.
I KNOW SOME OF IT TOO HAD TO DO WITH PHOTOGRAPHY.
LIKE WE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE PICTURES AND WHEN WE'RE IN WINTER YEAH.
THE STRUCTURE SHOULD ALL STILL BE THERE.
THE, THE SKELETON AND THE FRAMEWORK OF IT SHOULD BE DONE.
AND THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE PROBLEM WHERE I GET HUNG UP WITH EVERYTHING.
IT'S LIKE, OKAY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHANGING PICTURES THAT YOU CAN QUITE LITERALLY OVERWRITE THE, THE PICTURE THAT'S THERE ORIGINALLY ON INSIDE OF THE WEBSITE AND BOOM, NEW PICTURE.
I THINK WE'VE SEEN THE BONES, THE SKELETONS CHAINING, I'VE GOT A DEMO PAGE.
IT'S MISSING DATA BEING PULLED IN.
UM, IT'S MISSING, YOU KNOW, ACCURATE PHOTOS.
IT'S MISSING CONTEXT IS MISSING, UM, YOU KNOW, CONTENT, BUT OVERALL WE'VE SEEN THE FRAMEWORK OF IT.
I THINK JUST NEEDS TO BE PULLED TOGETHER.
ANYTHING ELSE? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH.
SO IF IT'S ON THE CITY WEBSITE, WHAT WOULD I GO TO ON THE CITY WEBSITE? LIKE IF I WAS DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING, CAUSE I'M LOOKING AND I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW TO FIND,
[00:45:01]
AND YOU CAN JUST EMAIL THAT OUT TO THE GROUP.UM, JUST THE WEBSITE INFORMATION, THAT WAY WE ALL HAVE IT.
AND WE CAN JUST GO FROM THERE AND WE'LL DO THAT.
I WOULD THINK MAYBE WHAT WE NEED IS ON THE CITY WEBSITE TO HAVE AN ACTUAL, A LINK CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, CITY SECRETARY, AND THEN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE DO TOO MANY, IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE UNDER DEPARTMENTS.
AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING.
I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST GOING TO COME AND LOOK FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE ON.
AND SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SPEND TIME GOING THROUGH, WELL, THE DROPDOWN, IF YOU TYPE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IT'LL TAKE YOU TO THIS, RIGHT.
AND THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN, THIS IS THE NEW VIDEO THAT'S BEEN CREATED.
AND THEN YOU CAN GO AND DOWN IN HERE AND THERE'S THE LINK OF AVAILABLE LAND WHERE YOU CAN CLICK ON THAT'S PART OF IT IS THE ZOOM PROCESS PROSPECTOR AND THAT'S WHAT'S LIVE RIGHT NOW.
SO YOU'D GO TO THE, I'M LOOKING FOR, AND YOU'D TYPE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND DID THIS.
THIS IS WHERE ALL THE SITES ARE LISTED, LIKE INNOVATION PARK MEGASITE BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
AND IT TAKES YOU INTO THE DETAIL OF SPECIFICALLY WHAT THAT IS.
AND THEN ALSO AGAIN, RIGHT, THE INTERACTIVE MAP IS AT THE BOTTOM.
AND THEN WE ALSO, WE THAT'S HOW WE GOT LEADS.
SO WE'VE HAD A FEW, UH, SITE SELECTORS GO IN HERE AND THEN THEY PUT IN THEIR INFORMATION AND SEND IT TO US, CHECK ON IT.
SO THIS WAS THE, A BIG ELEMENT THAT WE NEVER HAD BEFORE, WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE LOCATIONS WHERE YOU COULD SEE HOW MANY ACRES AND WHAT THE SITE WAS STILL OUT FOR.
DO YOU KNOW IF WE WANTED TO JUST GET THE EDC UP ON THAT TOP RIBBON, WOULD WE BE ABLE TO JUST MOVE THAT SO THAT IT'S SUPER EASY FOR NOW? AND THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO TAKE SOMETHING OFF.
SO IF YOU GUYS WANT TO MAKE TRADES OF WHAT WE WANT TO TAKE OFF OF THAT, THAT, THAT THAT'S, THAT THAT'S THE THING NOW.
SO WE'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DIRECT WHEN LINK, WHEN THIS WEBSITE WAS DEVELOPED.
ALL OF THOSE RIBBONS AT THE TOP, AND THEN THE CLICK DOWNS ON THAT.
AND THEN ALSO IF YOU GO TO THE HOMEPAGE, THEN THESE MAIN BUTTONS HERE, RIGHT? THESE WERE, IF YOU CHANGE UP, YOU HAVE TO TAKE SOMETHING OFF.
CAUSE THAT MIGHT BE, THESE ARE ALL DEVELOPED BASED ON WHERE WE GET THE MOST VISITORS FROM RIGHT NOW, WHAT ARE THE MOST VISITED WEB PAGES AND, UM, WHERE THE MOST LIKE AGENDAS AND MINUTES PEOPLE GO THERE THE MOST.
SO THEY'RE IN ORDER OF WHAT'S GETTING THE MOST VIEWS RIGHT NOW.
UM, AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAVE ACROSS THE BOTTOM, WE CHANGE THAT OUT ALL THE TIME.
WE USE IT FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES ONLY, BUT, AND WE'VE ONLY USED IT ONCE THIS YEAR, BUT IN THE FREEZE YOU CAN PUT A BANNER ACROSS THE TOP.
THAT'S LIKE RED, THAT WILL SCROLL, RIGHT.
BREAKING NEWS, EMERGENCY ALERT, WHATEVER WE COULD DURING THE TIME THAT WE MAYBE GO TO ICRC OR A SPECIFIC TIME, WE COULD USE IT FOR THOSE PURPOSES.
WE DON'T WANT TO GET IN THE HABIT OF THAT.
I THINK HE HAS A CONCERN THAT I HAVE OF PUTTING THAT IN A PLACE OF EMERGENCY.
WE DON'T WANT TO ASSOCIATE BANNER BECAUSE I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE DESIGNATED AS EMERGENCY BANNER.
SO PEOPLE KNOW, CAUSE WHAT I WANTED TO, I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN IS FOR, IF WE START USING THAT FOR, YOU KNOW, CLICK HERE, FREAKING OUT AND DEVELOPMENT, THEN PEOPLE EVENTUALLY STOP LOOKING AT THAT BANNER AND IT NEEDS TO BE SET UP JUST FOR EMERGENCY.
SO, UM, AND WE CAN JUST REMOVE THE CITY COUNCIL ICON AND JUST PUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
THERE SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA.
NO, BUT TO YOUR POINT, STACY, I THINK THERE MIGHT BE CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR WHERE PERHAPS WE COULD SWAP OUT ONE OF THE BUBBLES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT DOWN AT THE BOTTOM.
SO THAT IT'S EASIER FOR PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE 30 TO 60 DAYS POST OR LIKE A WEEK BEFORE AN EVENT.
CAUSE I KNOW, AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT ON THIS SCROLLING PIECE, RIGHT, THAT WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP LIKE A STATIC IMAGE RIGHT.
OF WHATEVER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WE'RE WANTING.
SO THAT DOESN'T, THIS, THIS WOULD ALWAYS STAY IN A NUMBER ONE SPOT.
WE WOULDN'T HAVE IT SCROLL SO WE CAN DO THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, I WILL TELL YOU, THIS WEBSITE IS PERFORMING VERY, VERY WELL.
I'VE LOOKED AT THE Q1 STATS AND UM, IT'S UM, OUR, OUR CLICK IN OUR OPEN RATE ON THINGS ARE LIKE 54%, WHICH IS ABOVE INDUSTRY AVERAGE.
SO THIS IS PERFORMING MUCH, MUCH BETTER THAN OUR PREVIOUS WEBSITE.
ANYTHING ELSE? YOU'RE WELCOME.
[00:50:06]
ANY OTHER SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES? UH, MASTER PLANNING, MASTER PLAN.UH, THE END OF THE MONTH, THEY'RE DOING A BUSINESS FORUM AT 11:00 AM ON THE 30TH ANYONE'S ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND.
SO IF ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOP CORPORATION HAS THE TIME OR ANYONE OUT THERE THAT'S INVOLVED IN BUSINESS WANTS TO ATTEND.
IT'LL BE FROM 11:00 AM TO I BELIEVE, 1230.
UH, THE OTHER, UH, THING I'VE REACHED OUT TO ROBIN RAY, I'M WORKING ON TRYING TO GET A TIME TO GO TAKE A TOUR OF THEIR, UH, LABS.
SO WE CAN START TALKING ABOUT, UM, TALKING ABOUT WHAT TO PARTNER UP WITH, LIKE AVIVO AND SOME OTHER COMPANIES ABOUT CREATING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS SO THAT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES DIRECTLY WITH WHAT THE EMPLOYERS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN HOW-TO.
SO ANY OTHER COMMITTEE, BUT THERE IS A ECONOMIC FORUM ON MARCH 25TH, MARCH THE 24TH.
