ALEXA 10 YEARS AGO HOW WIDELY IT WOULD BE 10 YEARS AND THEN HE WAS RETIRED POLICE OFFICER. HE THEN BECAME THE PRESIDENT OF LOCAL COUNCIL. TYPICAL POLITICS . TYPICAL FIGHT, BUT THEN HOW DO YOU NAVIGATE? TO A POINT WHERE HE WAS AWARDED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TWO TIMES FOR BEING THE HARNESSED PRESIDENT LOCALLY.

I TRAVELED ALL OVER THE WORLD. I WAS. CANADA HONG KONG, CHINA, DUBAI LIVED AND WORKED THERE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME IN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I MOVED FROM SEATTLE TO HERE WITH ALL MY FRIENDS BUYING HOUSES. SO THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE BACK TO THE SOCIETY.

[01:20:03]

THAT WE HAD FOR THIS. YES MAYOR AND WE WILL WORK REACH OUT TO THE TO APPLICANTS NOT PRESENT AND SEE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO COME TO THE NEXT MEETING BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THE APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE. SOME OF THE APPLICANTS ALSO APPLIED FOR OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, SO THEY WILL BE INTERVIEWED TOMORROW EVENING AND THURSDAY EVENING.

[3. Hold a Public Hearing, consider, and act upon, the writing of an Ordinance to amend the City of Wylie Zoning Ordinance, Articles 5.1 Land Use Charts, 5.2 Listed Uses, 7.0 General Development Regulations, as they relate to Smoke Shops, Smoking Establishments and Alcohol uses.]

[01:25:08]

UM THE WAY WE DID. THAT WAS WE FOLLOWED RZB O Z B O A R ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS PROCEDURES.

UM BUT OUR CITY ATTORNEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE GO AHEAD AND HAVE A FORMAL PROCEDURE FOR DOING THAT. AND SO THAT'S ALSO IN THERE. UM AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. TAKE COUNSEL. DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS? MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU, JASON. I NOTICED IN PARAGRAPH 29 UNDER THE DEFINITION OF SMOKE SHOP WHERE IT SAYS THE ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS SPECIAL USE PERMIT SHOULD BE REQUIRED IN CC DISTRICTS. BUT IT DOES NOT POINT OUT THAT IT'S ALSO REQUIRED AN ALLY DISTRICT. YES. ON ME WHEN I MADE THE CHANGE TO IF YOU'LL NOTICE IN THE TABLE ABOVE IT SHOWS ESPECIALLY USED IN BOTH. UM I FORGOT TO DELETE THAT AND I HAVE A LITTLE STAR NEXT TO IT BECAUSE THAT WAS GOING TO BE NEXT FOR ME TO SAY FORGOT TO DELETE WHICH NUMBER ONE UNDER THE PREPARATIONS. WE'RE JUST GONNA GET RID OF IT BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL ALL EVERYONE IS ALLOWED. IT IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. OKAY SO IT'S NOT REALLY AN ADDITIONAL PROVISION, SO THE SAME THING WOULD BE TRUE WITH SMOKING ESTABLISHMENTS. IT SAYS THAT THE ESPECIALLY PERMIT SHALL BE REQUIRED IN ALL PERMITTED DISTRICTS EXCEPT FOR THE ALLY.

NOW, UM. WE ARE AT THIS POINT, AND P AND Z IS RECOMMENDING THAT , UM THEY BE ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN L I SMOKING ESTABLISHMENT SUCH AS A CIGAR LOUNGE OR A HOOKAH LOUNGE. OKAY BUT THE OTHER AREAS WOULD BE SPECIAL USE PERMITS. AND THAT IS SHOWN CORRECTLY IN THE CHART ABOVE ALL RIGHT, SO THE ONLY CHANGE WOULD BE TO REMOVE ITEM NUMBER ONE IN 29 B ONE. THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. THANK YOU. JASON, CAN YOU EXPLAIN COUNSELOR MALIKI. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE VARIANTS THAT WAS PASSED FOR THE DISTILLERY AND MAKING THAT PERMANENT SURE REQUIREMENT THERE AT THE TIME THAT THE DISTILLERY WENT IN, THERE WAS A CHURCH IN THE SAME IN THAT STRIP MALL. THAT'S RIGHT THERE AND BECAUSE THAT WAS ON THE SAME PROPERTY. IT'S IT FALLS WITHIN THE STATE REGULATIONS OF BEING WITHIN 300 FT. UM THE CHURCH DIDN'T WITH CONTACTED DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

WE SEND OUT NOTIFICATION THAT EVERYBODY WITHIN 200 FT, AND NOBODY HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT. AND SO IT WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AND COUNCIL APPROVED THAT UM, VARIANTS, WHICH IS ALLOWED BY STATE LAW. SO WITH THAT VARIANTS OF IF ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF WILL THAT STILL COMES THROUGH COUNCIL OR IF WE PASS THIS THEN THAT WOULD BE AN AUTOMATIC. NO SIR. UM THE VARIANTS STILL HAS TO COME BACK THROUGH COUNCIL. THAT'S STATE LAW, OKAY? WE'RE JUST OFFICIALLY ADDING THE PROCEDURE AND. UM THE ONE THING THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM CBO A GENERALLY IS THAT WE'RE NOT NOTIFYING THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FT. UM, IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. UM IT'S BASICALLY NOTIFYING THE PROPERTY OWNER OF. THAT WOULD TRIGGER THE EXEMPTION SUCH AS THE CHURCH OR

[01:30:01]

[4. Tabled from 04-11-2023 Remove from table and consider Consider, and act upon, amendments to the Bylaws of the Wylie Economic Development Corporation.]

ALL SECOND WE HAVE EMOTION WITH THE SECOND TO REMOVE FROM TABLE FOR CONSIDERATION. COUNSEL.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES 70 THE ITEMS REMOVED FROM TABLE AND THIS IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON AMENDMENTS TO THE BYLAWS OF THE WIDELY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. MR PARKER. COUNCIL, AS YOU RECALL, UM BACK ON APRIL 11TH. JASON GREINER FROM THE D.

C. PRESENTED BY LAW CHANGES ALONG WITH THE BOARD. THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS. FROM THE COUNCIL . REGARDING OF MAINLY IT STEMMED AROUND IF THE EC STAFF OR EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY. UM I'VE TALKED. AND GREAT LENGTH WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY AS WELL AS MR GREINER AND, UM THAT QUESTION IS NOT AS CUTTING DRIES ONE WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET ATTORNEYS INVOLVED.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS, UM. REALLY TO TRY TO IDENTIFY. WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY WHAT THE DESIRE IS FROM THE COUNCIL AND THE WDC BOARD OF DIRECTORS. SO THERE'S TWO OPTIONS. ONE YOU COULD TAKE NO ACTION ON THIS ITEM. AND, UH, THE AUTUMN JUST DIES. OR TO, UM TABLE IT FOR THREE MORE MEETINGS. AND IN THE MEANTIME, WE WILL HAVE THE CITY ATTORNEY COME IN. WITH THE WDC BOARD. TO TRY TO DEFINE THE PATH FORWARD. UM. AND WHAT THE DESIRE IS. DESIRED OUTCOME OF THIS IS, UM. PROBABLY LOOKING AT SOME SORT OF AN I L A UM BASICALLY FROM WHAT I GATHERED FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY CITY CHARTER DOES NOT AUTHORIZED COUNCIL'S AUTHORITY. OR STATE LAW THAN.

AND THOSE ARE TWO OF THE GOVERNING BODIES. THAT PROVIDE THE DIRECTION THE COUNSEL SO UM

[01:35:02]

TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE STRAIGHTENING OUT SOME ISSUES THAT THEY FOUND WITHIN THEIR OWN. BYE LAWS, SO I DON'T FIND ANY REASON TO TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTION AND THINK THAT IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO MOVE FORWARD AS JUDICIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. SO I'D LIKE TO ECHO THE THAT SENTIMENT AFTER THE LENGTHY DISCUSSION, FURTHER RESEARCH AND HEARING FROM MR PARKER FURTHER ON THIS ISSUE, I WOULD AGREE THAT WHERE THE CITY COUNCIL DOES NOT HAVE DIRECT AUTHORITY, UH, TO GET INVOLVED AND DOESN'T NEED TO GET INVOLVED THAT THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS TO FOLLOW IT AS WRITTEN AND FOLLOW THE PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN WORKING. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CURRENT CONCERNS ABOUT OR OR WISHES POTENTIALLY FROM THE COUNCIL WITH REGARDS TO ETHICS OR TERM LIMITS. BUT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT OBVIOUSLY THE BOARD HAS TO SELL. CHOOSE TO SELF IMPOSED.

THE COUNCIL DOES NOT HAVE, IN MY ESTIMATION, THE AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE THOSE CHANGES. WE CAN APPROVE OR DISPROVE CHANGES TO THE BYLAWS. I WOULD HOPE THAT R E D C BOARD WOULD BE OPEN.

WHETHER IT'S THROUGH BYLAWS WERE THROUGH A HANDBOOK AGREEMENT OR WHATEVER THE CORRECT PROCESSES TO PUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS INTO PLACE, I THINK, LEAST OF ALL OR NOT, LEAST OF ALL, AT LEAST. AN ETHICS COMPONENT, AND I KNOW THAT SOME OF THAT STILL OPEN TO INTERPRETATION, AND I DON'T WANT TO GET US DOWN TO 30 MINUTE DISCUSSION ON ALL OF THAT THIS EVENING, SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR PARKER ON THIS ITEM. DID THEY PRESENT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE EXTENSIVE INFORMATION IN HERE IS IF WE WANT TO ACCEPT. POTENTIALLY THE CHANGES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO OR WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT BE TABLE AND BROUGHT BACK? TO US WITH MORE SPECIFICITY. ORANGE OR EVER SINCE. THERE IS NO BYLAWS IN THIS AGENDA PACKET AND THERE WAS A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH DISCUSSION AT THE LAST MEETING TO BE CLEAN ABOUT WHAT WE'RE APPROVING. IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST TO TABLE TO THE NEXT MEETING AND BRING BACK THE BYLAWS AND THE AGENDA PACKET SO WE THE PUBLIC KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE APPROVING PERFECT. MR GRINER. I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT FIRST, THOUGH. DOES YOUR BOARD HAVE A MEETING BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING? WE DID NOT. WE WOULD HAVE TO AT LEAST TABLE UNTIL THE SECOND MEETING NEXT MONTH. I THINK THAT WAS SOME OF THE ORIGINAL DISCUSSION. I THINK EVEN WITH MR PARKER AND I GETTING ENOUGH TIME FOR EITHER THE NEW BOARD MEMBER , BUT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE JULY BEFORE THAT NEW BOARD MEMBER WOULD BE OUR BOARD SO UM WE'RE TRYING. TO STUCK IN BETWEEN HERE WE DIDN'T NEED THE SECOND MEETING OF CANNOT TABLE IT FOR THAT EXTENDED PERIOD. AT THAT POINT, WOULD IT BE BEST TO LET THE ITEM TO TAKE NO ACTION, OR CAN WE TABLE IT? MORE THAN THREE? SO JULY? 11TH IS. THE THIRD MEETING IS THE THIRD CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, SO THAT'S WHEN

[01:40:01]

OKAY. THANK YOU. EASIEST. COUNCILMAN MALIKI. UM THINK THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, JASON.

BEING ON THE SEABOARD PREVIOUSLY AND LIVING IN WILDLY FOR SO LONG. I DO THINK IT'S NECESSARY FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ESTABLISH PROTOCOL OR SOME SORT OF FOR THE PUBLIC. AND FOR EVERYONE OUT THERE. ON WHAT WHILE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS AND WHAT THE RESPONSIBILITY ON THE COUNCIL AND ON THE CITY STAFF FALLS WITHIN. UM, I THINK YEAH, A LOT OF IT IS MIXED BETWEEN WILD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THAT THE CITY OR THE COUNCIL'S MAKING THOSE DECISIONS AND THAT'S BEING DONE BY THE COUNCIL OR THE CITY STAFF. MAKING SURE THAT WE ESTABLISHED SOME SORT OF AN UNDERSTANDING ON WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CERTAIN THINGS. I THINK THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE A VERY HELPFUL TO ALL THE CITIZENS IN WHILE YOU UNDERSTANDING. HOW IS HOW DOES WILEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WORK? I THINK THAT'S 12. I DO THINK THAT WE SHOULD GIVE CLEAR INDICATION TO JASON AND WILD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD. ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IMPLEMENTED. IT'S UP TO THEM IF THEY DO WHAT THEY DON'T BUT AT LEAST FOR US TO BE CLEAR ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF IT'S ETHICS IF ITS TERM LIMITS AND WHATNOT AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S IT. TIME. SO FOR TAKING MOTION DISCOUNT CELL HAVE ANY ITEMS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THE E. D. C TO CONSIDER AT THEIR MEETING THAT IS IN BETWEEN, FOR THE BYLAWS THAT WILL COME BACK TO COUNCIL AS A WHOLE. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCLUDED PLEASE SPEAK NOW NOT AT NOT ASKING FOR A LONG DEBATE ON THIS. I'M GONNA START ON MY LEFT AND WORK MY WAY DOWN. COUNCILMAN DUKE IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD ASK THEM TO CONSIDER FOR THE BYLAWS? AT HIS TIME, COUNCILMAN STRING NONE. MAYOR PRO TEM I THINK WE'VE BEAT THIS HORSE. YES, I'M I THINK WE'VE COVERED IT AS I STATED. ETHICS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I'D LOVE TO SEE INCLUDED EITHER IN BYLAWS OR IN A HANDBOOK. AH COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. I'M OKAY. SIR. NO, I'M SORRY. COUNCILMAN HOOVER COUNCILMAN MALACHI, I'M GOOD.

OKAY SO PLEASE JUST BRING THEM BACK. I CAN'T SAY THAT THAT WAY . SO ON THIS DO WE HAVE A MOTION MAYOR PRO TEM. THANK YOU, MAYOR . I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE JUNE 20/6 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION. MOTION TO TABLE TO THE JUNE 20/6 MEETING.

IS LIMITED TO PUT IT NICELY. UM COUNCIL. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? AND IF NOT, I'D BE OPEN TO EMOTION. COUNCILMAN STRENGTH. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

WITH THAT WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM SIX, CONSIDERING ACT UPON THE

[6. Consider, and act upon, the recommendation to reject all bids for W2023-50-B East Meadow Trail Splash Pad and Community Park Splash Pad.]

I THINK IT WILL END UP HERE. SO I THINK IT WILL BE FOR MR SCOURS. CAN YOU GIVE THE COUNCIL A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ON WHAT YOUR PLAN WOULD BE IN LIEU OF ACCEPTING A BID AND WHAT THAT

[01:50:06]

AH THE SPLASH PAD. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SPLASH PADS THAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN IS ABOUT 270 CALENDAR DAYS. UM I WILL TELL YOU THAT. YOU KNOW WHEN WE WERE AT THE PRE BID FOR THESE FLASH PADS, WE KIND OF DIG IT A LOT OF LAUGHS ABOUT THAT. THAT THEY DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE THAT LONG TO DO IT. SO THAT WAS A LITTLE COMFORTING TO HEAR. UM BUT, UM IF WE HAVE MAYBE ABOUT A MONTH MONTH AND A HALF OR SO TO KIND OF GO WITH THIS NEW PLAN, WHICH IS KIND OF LETTING PARKS AND RECREATION. TAKE THIS PROJECT AS OUR OWN WORKING WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT BOB WARD VENDORS AND JOB ORDER CONTRACT AND TO TRY TO GET UTILITIES PARKING ALL OF THAT IN SO, UM. MAYBE ABOUT A MONTH OR MONTH AND A HALF OF A DELAY BECAUSE THAT'S ANSWERING THE QUESTION THERE. YES SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT MAKING THE CHANGE. IT ISN'T AS IF THE SPLASH PAD WOULD HAVE OPENED IN TWO MONTHS. THIS SUMMER. IT'S STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING WE WERE LOOKING AT WELCOMING FOR THE 2024 SEASON, SO TO SPEAK THE WARMER SEASON, AND WHILE THIS MAY DELAY IT A LITTLE, IT WAS STILL MOST LIKELY BE AROUND THAT SAME TIME LINE, CORRECT, OKAY, AND THAT'S THAT'S JUST WHAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T A SIX MONTH DELAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. NO, SIR. OKAY UM, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO WOULD YOU SAY THAT IT'S SAFE TO SAY BY THE PARKS AND RECS TAKING THIS ON? IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES THAT IT'S GONNA TRANSLATE INTO GETTING SOME OF THOSE OPTIONS AT A LOWER COST OR NO COST TO THE CITIZENS? YES SIR . SO WE'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN DOING SOME YOU KNOW? EVALUATION OF THE BIDS AS FAR AS PRICE COMPARISONS. WE'VE ALREADY FOUND SOME SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES, YOU KNOW, JUST IN SOME OF THE RESTROOM FACILITIES. I MEAN, THERE'S $100,000 DIFFERENCE THERE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT EVEN SOME OF THE CONCRETE WORK THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. SO THERE GOING . THIS ROUTE IS GOING TO SAVE SOME MONEY AND IT IS GOING TO HOPEFULLY GET SOME OF THOSE ALTERNATES THAT WE ORIGINALLY WEREN'T ABLE TO GET IN THE ONE BID THAT WE DID RECEIVE. SO OKAY? COUNCILMAN MALIKI. SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. YOU WILL BE PROJECT MANAGING THE WHOLE PROJECT, I GUESS, RIGHT? NOT REALLY. HAVING OUR OWN EMPLOYEES DOING A LOT OF THAT WORK.

SUBCONTRACTORS WILL DO THE WORK, BUT WE WILL PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE SENSE OF THE ORDER. YES SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. WE'RE LOOKING AT AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT BY BORED VENDORS. AND THEN AH, ANOTHER CONTRACTOR THAT WOULD BE DOING JOB ORDER CONTRACTING SO AT LEAST MANAGING THREE DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS ON THIS PROJECT. DAN. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU AND YOUR DEPARTMENT HAVE TO BE ABLE TO. EFFECTIVELY HANDLE AND MANAGE THAT PROCESS.

ABSOLUTELY OKAY. I KNOW YOU GUYS DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS ALONG THOSE LINES. SO YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S WANTED TO ASK BEFORE WE PUT THAT ON. IT'S ALMOST LIKE A I LIKE TO RELATE IT TO LIKE A PLAYGROUND. I MEAN, WE KIND OF DO THE SAME NOW. GRANTED THIS IS A MUCH LARGER WATER PLAYGROUND.

BUT, UM WE KIND OF GO ABOUT IT THE EXACT SAME WAY. I MEAN, WE WORK WITH THE BIBLE VENDOR. THEY DESIGN IT ALL. THEY ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS. THEY THEY TELL THEM ALL THE TOPS OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE WANT AND THEY PUT TOGETHER. NICE COLOR SCHEME, AND THEN WE ACTUALLY GO IN. WE DIG IT ALL OUT FOR THEM. THEY INSTALL IT SO I MEAN, WE WORK ALL THE TIME LIKE THIS, AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH DOING. UM YOU CAN. COUNCIL DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR TOWERS OR MISS HAYES ON THIS ITEM? MAYOR ONE LAST QUICK COMMENT ANY OF THE INDIVIDUAL PIECES OF THE PROJECT GOING FORWARD THAT ARE $50,000 AND ABOVE WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVALS. SO IF THERE'S PIECES OF THAT, SO YOU MAY SEE US BACK. WE'LL PROBABLY SEE YOU MULTIPLE TIMES, PROBABLY MULTIPLE ITEMS ARE POTENTIALLY CONSENT, BUT WELL, I'M SURE WE'LL SEE IT COME BACK THROUGH. COUNCILMAN MALIKI. MR MAYOR. IF I'M ALLOWED, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEMS PRESENTED. OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE . THE ITEM IS PRESENTED, WHICH ARE WILL REMIND COUNCIL IS TO REJECT THE BID. DO WE HAVE A SECOND COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS? I'LL SECOND THE MOTION. OKAY WE HAVE EMOTION WITH A SECOND COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION

[01:55:02]

WITH THAT. I'LL CALL US BACK INTO SESSION. WE'RE IN OUR WORK SESSIONS WORK SESSION. ONE IS NOT GOING TO BE HELD THIS EVENING. THERE WOULD BE NO ACTION TO TAKE ANYWAY AND THE DEVELOPER AND PRESENTER FOR THAT REQUESTED THAT THE ITEM NOT BE DISCUSSED THIS EVENING AS THEY

[WS2. Discuss Ethiopian Sports Federation in North America Soccer Tournament]

UM THE TOTAL FOR STAFFING. UM. AND SOME OTHER COSTS. I DIDN'T INCLUDE ALL THE OTHER COST. I HAVE TO GET IT WITH PARKS DEPARTMENT WHO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY CAME UP WITH THOSE THE NUMBERS THAT THEY PROVIDED. UM BUT STAFFING ALONE. UM. THERE'S ABOUT 100. $70,000 REMEMBER CORRECTLY. OBVIOUSLY, THIS EVENT WASN'T BUDGET IS FOR IN OUR. FY 23 BUDGET AND WE UM. CANNOT ABSORB THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. IN OUR BUDGET AS WELL. SO. NO WE NEED DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL. AS TO HOW. YOU'D LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. WHETHER IT BE A BUDGET AMENDMENT. AND USE FUN BALANCE. UM. I KNOW THE MAYOR HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM. I'M NOT FOR SURE EXACTLY WHERE THE $100,000 DONATION. UM THAT WE'RE PROVIDING TO THEM FROM HOTEL MOTEL TAX IS BEING SPENT. OR IF THAT IS AN OPTION, SO UM THE INFORMATION I SENT YOU ALL ON LAST WEEK. THE TOTAL IS 171,004 06. SO. HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I BELIEVE. CHIEF BLAST HERE. HE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL. AND THE MYERS HAD MORE CONVERSATIONS. AND I HAVE WITH HIM SO HE MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS. I ALSO SENT YOU THE STAFFING MATRIX. THIS AFTERNOON THAT CHIEF GLYPH AND CHIEF HENDERSON AND WORKED ON THE STAFFING MATRIX IS, UM. THE SAME MATRIX USED. FOR WHILE THE I S D EVENTS, FOOTBALL GAMES OR WHATEVER EVENTS ARE HELD AT THE STADIUM, SO THEY'RE REQUIRING US TO FOLLOW THE SAME GUIDELINES. UM SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THOSE NUMBERS CAME FROM.

UM SO, LIKE I SAID, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT WE ARE NEEDING DIRECTION ON HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FUNDING THIS EVENT. ON THIS QUESTION. THE REQUIRED ZERO IS THAT MIDNIGHT? YEAH. UM. WHAT WAS THE TIME? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT UNDER MILITARY TIME, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE UH, DO THEY HAVE? DO YOU AND I DON'T KNOW, SIR, IF YOU WANNA STEP FORWARD, IF YOUR STATE YOUR NAME AND THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE RECORD JUST BECAUSE SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS WILL BE FOR YOU FOR HELP AND CRAFTING THIS IF YOU'LL TURN THAT ON FOR, SIR, IF YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE NAME OF THE ORGANIZATION FOR THE RECORD OKAY. MY NAME IS ABBY NEURALINK. I'M A VOLUNTEER OF PRESIDENT THAT ETHIOPIAN SPORT FEDERATION NORTH AMERICA. SO I

[02:00:03]

I BELIEVE WE HAVE A FIREWORKS SCHEDULED AT 9 30 THAT WOULD LAST ABOUT 17 MINUTES. CORRECT THAT'S GONNA DRAG THE CLOSING TIME. OUR EVENT IS, UH, IT'S CORRECT THAT IT IS ONE WEEK LONG EVENT. BUT THE NUMBERS SHOWN. IN OUR PAST EXPERIENCE, THE THREE DAYS REALLY NOT. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ATTENDEES COMING IN, EXCEPT THE LAST THREE DAYS. SO THE BIGGER NUMBERS ARE FOUR TESTIFIED IN SATURDAY. I APOLOGIZE, AND THEN WE'VE GOT A COUPLE WAITING TO SPEAK. I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP. THE FIRST SUNDAY. WHAT ARE THE HOURS THAT YOU GUYS ARE THERE FOR OPENING CEREMONIES? IS IT FROM MIND TO 10. WE THERE ALL DAY FOR THAT WE OPEN AT NINE O'CLOCK 9 A.M. IN THE MORNING, BUT OPENING CEREMONY IS AT 5 30. STARTS AT YOU GUYS WILL BE THERE AND OPEN THE WHOLE DAY, RIGHT? OKAY. FINAL QUICK QUESTION, AND THEN I WILL OPEN IT TO MY COLLEAGUES. I HAVE NOT SEEN AND I DON'T BELIEVE STAFF HAS SEEN ANYTHING . COME THROUGH WITH REGARDS TO BEER GARDEN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT THIS TIME. UM IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD REMOVE FROM THE CONSIDERATIONS? YOU MAY WE HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THE LOCAL DISTILLERY TO APPLY FOR A PERMIT AND RUN THE BEER GARDEN. WE HAVE NO SUCH EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST 40 YEARS. AND WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF TO MONITOR THAT. SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND. IT'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WE WOULD

[02:05:02]

IF WE NEEDED TO SCALE IT BACK, WE COULD SCALE IT BACK. I JUST THINK THAT WE HAVE TO GO WITH THESE NUMBERS HIGHER NUMBERS. BECAUSE WE CAN'T WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN TO COVER SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S LARGER THAN WE CAN HANDLE. ABSOLUTELY AIR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION. I AGREE. SO THE REAL THING IS NOT ISN'T IN MY MIND'S EYE IS NOT SO MUCH THE STAFFING AS IT IS. WHERE DO WE COME UP WITH THE FUNDS FOR THIS? BECAUSE I THINK THAT AS WE'VE LOOKED THROUGH THIS WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED. $100,000 SO THE ADDITION TO THIS WOULD BE A $71,000 SHORTFALL. SO. WELL IT WOULD BE A POSSIBLY A 71,000. THAT'S THE ESTIMATE. CORRECT WELL, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK. THE $100,000 WAS ADAM HOTEL MOTEL TAX WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL. BUT I DO NOT WEAR IT. NO WHERE THAT MONEY HAS BEEN ALLOCATED. THAT MONEY HAS BEEN ALLOCATED TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. OR IF IT'S DIRECTLY BEEN GIVEN OVER. TO THE SACRIFICE AERATION. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT MONEY HAS BEEN ALLOCATED. IF IT IF IT HASN'T BEEN ALLOCATED TO ANYTHING, THEN YES, WE COULD USE THAT $100,000.

TWO. HOW YOU OTHER JURISDICTIONS FOR THEIR OFFICERS. YOU CAN OFFSET SOME OF THIS $170,000. UM BUT BUT ALL THAT'S JUST DEPENDING ON YOU KNOW WHERE THAT 100,000 HAS BEEN ALLOCATED. SO I I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT. FROM OUR LAST DISCUSSION THAT I HAD WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES.

THAT MONEY WOULD BE GOING TOWARDS THIS SO THAT THEY WERE NOT HAVING TO PAY THE CITY. THIS FULL PORTION, SO THAT $100,000 THAT WAS THE DISCUSSION WAS TO PUT THAT MONEY TOWARDS THESE COSTS, WHICH INCLUDE FIRE E. M S POLICE AND ALL THOSE THINGS. SO THEN THE SHORTFALL ON THIS WOULD BE THE $71,000. BUT IF I MAY TRY HIM IN THERE, THE STADIUM COST IS 276,000. AND THEN, UM, THERE IS ADDITIONAL 35,394 CHARGES. UM OUT ORGANIZATION AS COMING UP WITH THE NUMBERS OF JUST GOT IN HERE AFTER I CAME HERE ARE OPERATING EXPENSES. 816,000 ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES FOR DONATIONS COVERING TAL AIR TRAVEL WEBSITE AND SCHOLARSHIP IS ABOUT 115,000. SO THAT IS, UH 931,815 THE TOTAL EXPENSE. WE ARE. COMING UP ON OUR OWN FROM OUR ORGANIZATION. RIGHT SO UNDERSTOOD YOUR YOUR BUDGET. IT'S SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN IRS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS SPECIFIC INSTANCE AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE $100,000 THAT WAS COMMITTED TO YOU ALL IS GOING TO BE SPENT ON THESE EXPENSES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT AND NOT ON THE EXPENSES. THAT CURIOUS EXPLAINING IS THAT CORRECT? IN YOUR ESTIMATION. UH THAT'S NOT WHAT WE HAD IN MIND ORIGINALLY, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT IS. IT IS. UNDERSTOOD THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU HAD IN MIND. BUT IS

[02:10:04]

WHAT'S THE ASK OR WHAT WENT WRONG WHERE OR NOT? IT? SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS AN EVENT THAT YOU ALL DO. ANNUALLY. AND THAT MIGHT BE SUMMARIZING SOME THINGS, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE AS YOU ALL MADE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO RENT THE STADIUM. UM THE CONVERSATION WAS HAD WITH THE CITY AND THE CITY ENDED UP DECIDING TO, UM, USE SOME OF THE MONEY. TO HELP WITH THAT STADIUM COST OR THE COST OF THE EVENT. HOTEL MOTEL. SORRY. LET ME FIX THAT HOTEL MOTEL. AND NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE EXPENSE OF THE, UM. ALL OF THE POLICE AND FIRE AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IT GOT MISSED IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT TRYING TO. IF YOU WERE PLANNING THE IF YOU WERE PLAYING THE EVENT AT THE BEGINNING, DID YOU HAVE A BUDGET FOR POLICE AND FIRE? AND THIS IS AN EXCESS OF THAT BUDGET OR WHY ARE WE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION NOW IS WHAT I'M I GUESS MY QUESTION CORRECT ORIGINALLY FOR POLICE AND SECURITY, WE HAD ALLOCATED $52,000. AND NOW THE 170,000 IS, UH, OKAY. SO IN Y'ALL'S BUDGET, Y'ALL HAD 52,000 PLANNED OKAY? SO THIS THIS. THIS EVENT HAS EVOLVED THAT THIS IS WHERE IT'S . WHEN WE ORIGINALLY MET WITHIN THE FIRST MEETING THAT I ATTENDED. IT WAS MAINLY THE SOCCER THE FOOTBALL STADIUM. IT IS GROWN NOW INTO THEY HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL FIELDS FOUNDERS THEY HAVE THIS BIG, UM VENDOR AREA IN THE FRONT AND A LOT OF THIS, WE WERE NOT ANTICIPATING. AFTER MEETING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE SUMMER OF WHAT UM. I GUESS THEIR COMFORT LEVEL AND THEIR NEEDS. UM WE? WE HAVE TO PUT A PLAN TOGETHER. SO IT'S NOT . SO MUCH ON THEM AS WE WERE DOING THIS WE'RE GONNA HAVE 8000 PEOPLE OR 7000 PEOPLE HERE. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SOMETHING WE JUST DON'T DAYS THAT'S AND THIS EVENT HASN'T UM. I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT WAS LAST MINUTE, BUT IT'S JUST TAKING A WHILE TO EVOLVE AND GET PLAN. SURE. WHICH MAKES SENSE SO THAT MY BIGGEST QUESTION WAS ON HIM ON THE ORIGINAL BUDGET. THAT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WAS A BUDGET. SURE BUT WHAT IT'S GONNA END UP TAKING IN ORDER FOR US TO DO WHAT WE KNOW WE NEED TO DO TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS IS GOING TO END UP EXCEEDING WHAT THAT BUDGET WAS FOR THAT Y'ALL HAD SET PREVIOUSLY. I'VE GOT ONE OTHER QUICK QUESTION. AND THAT IS, UM SO WHILE THIS EVENT IS HAPPENING IS THEY'RE MULTIPLE OF THE SAME STYLE EVENTS HAPPENING AROUND THE METROPLEX. THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF. NO NO. OKAY OKAY, WELL, AND I SAID THAT I SAW SOMETHING ELSE ON THE NEWS ABOUT UM THE TOURNAMENT AND IN THE EVERYTHING I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THEY HAD OTHER, YOU KNOW, STADIUMS RENTED OUT OR OR OKAY, THIS IS OUR SIXTH OR SEVENTH TIME COMING TO THE DALLAS METROPLEX. OKAY, SO THE LAST TOURNAMENT WE HAD IT WAS AN ARTISAN. WE DID THAT. THE TWO YEARS IN A ROW. AND THE 52 OR $42,000 EXPENSE FOR POLICY AND SECURITY IS BASED ON THE NUMBERS AND THE OUT EXPENSES IN THE PAST, SO ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. JOHNSON MALIKI. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR BUDGET. CURRENTLY YOU HAVE $350,000 FOR SECURITY. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT? NOT WHAT YOU BUDGETED WHEN THIS EVENT IS 52,000 BUDGETED, CORRECT, BUT HE ALSO MENTIONED I AM CORRECT ON THE EXPENSES. HE MENTIONED $270,000 FOR THE STADIUM. RENTAL HE MENTIONED 350 OR SOMETHING SOMEWHERE AROUND 35,035. SO YOU DROPPED. FROM THE INITIAL BUDGET OF 52. YOU DROPPED TO 35 NOW? NO WHAT I MEANT WAS APOLOGIZE IF I MISSPOKE, JUST TRYING TO MISS 276,000 IS THE FACILITY. USE OF CORRECT STADIUM. CORRECT 35,390 IS FOR SECURITY. IN ADDITION TO THE 276, THAT'S FOR NON ARMED

[02:15:09]

YEAH. IS THAT A FAIR WAY TO PRESENT THAT? OKAY. AND THEN SO WHEN THE COUNCIL INITIALLY APPROVED THIS THIS WAS APPROVED THE STADIUM. THE SOCCER GAMES TO BE PLAYED AT THE STADIUM. HELP THEM OUT THERE. NOW IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS HAS EVOLVED IN THE SENSE OF THE WORD THAT WE'VE GOT TWO ADDITIONAL FIELDS. I'M ASSUMING FOR TRAINING PURPOSES OR WHATNOT.

AND THEN THE FOOD VENDOR AREA. IS THAT? WHERE THE VENDOR AREA WHERE? FOOD VENDOR THAT WAS NOT AN INITIAL DISCUSSION. THIS WAS ADDED ON AS WE HAVE DEVELOPED THIS PLAN. THE VENDOR AREA WAS THERE. WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW LARGE IT WAS GONNA BE. TIME, OKAY? AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RENTAL OF THE FIELD OR IN ALL THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT. WORLD. THE VENDORS HAVE TO PULL PERMITS TO BE IN THOSE FACILITIES IN THOSE PARKING LOTS ON ANY OF THAT INSPECTION HEALTH INSPECTION IF THERE IS FOOD TO BE SERVED. AND THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF ALL THAT. WE'RE NOT INVOLVED IN THAT AS FAR AS THE COUNTY HEALTH INSPECTOR WILL HAVE TO DO THAT CORRECT. BUT THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF THAT. HOW MANY TEAMS ARE YOU EXPECTING? TO HAVE ONE TOO. AND ARE THESE FROM . YOU'RE FROM ETHIOPIA AREA OR THEY DALLAS OR UNITED STATES TEAMS FORMED WITHIN UNIT STATES. OKAY DIFFERENT CITIES. ALL THE PLAYERS COME FROM 27 DIFFERENT CITIES. WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, OKAY? AND BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE THESE NUMBERS THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED CHEAP AND THEY'RE SENDING CHIEF LIFE. THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE EXPECTED BEFORE . ARE THESE NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE EXPECTING TO DO THIS YEAR? BASED ON MAYBE BEING OUT OF COVID A LITTLE BIT? AND MAYBE MORE PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL. THIS IS TAILORED FOR THIS YEAR. THE BUDGET. I JUST MENTIONED CORRECT . I MEANT THE ATTENDANCE NUMBERS. HAVE YOU SEEN THESE NUMBERS PRIOR TO BECAUSE INITIALLY ON THE FIRST GAME, YOU EXPECTING 900 PEOPLE? 1000 PEOPLE ON THE LAST GAME, YOU'RE EXPECTING 9000 PEOPLE. IS THIS THE TREND THAT YOU'VE SEEN IN YOUR SIXTH SEASONS THAT YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE? OR IS THIS CORRECT? THIS IS BASED ON THE DATA WE COLLECTED FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS AND WE FOCUSED MOSTLY ON THE EVENT WE DID, AND ADDISON GARLAND. AND THEN THE DOLLAR. OKAY? AND I'M ASSUMING THE FOLKS THAT ARE TRAVELING OUTSIDE OF DALLAS AREA. THEY'RE GOING TO BE TRANSPORTED BY BUSSES FROM DIFFERENT AREAS. MOST OF THE PEOPLE DRIVE SOME OF THEM. SOME OF THEM WILL TAKE THEM OVER AND LIFT. BUT THE PLAYERS THEMSELVES THEY WOULD BE RENTING A 15 PASSENGER VANS. EACH TEAM WILL RENT TWO VANS. AND THAT'S HOW THEY TRANSPORT THEMSELVES. THE I GUESS THIS QUESTION GOES FOR BRENT THE EXCESSIVE. THE BECAUSE I KNOW WE DON'T WE WON'T HAVE ENOUGH MANPOWER FROM OUR DEPARTMENT COVER ALL THIS. HAS THAT NUMBER BEEN INCLUDED IN THAT 1 71 THAT WOULD SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS DEBATE. YES, OKAY.

NO MORE QUESTIONS. OKAY? CHIEF. I HAD A QUESTION FOR YOU BECAUSE AFTER ASKING THE REPRESENTATIVE , I KNOW IT'S ONLY SETS OF FOUR HOURS, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES. BUT IF THE BEER GARDEN WAS STRICKEN COMPLETELY FROM THE PLANS DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF AN IMPACT THAT HAS? IS IT NEGLIGIBLE OR IT'S ABOUT $5000. SMALL AMOUNT, OKAY? AND THERE ARE SOME. OTHER NUMBERS THAT I HAD MENTIONED EARLIER THAT I FORGOT TO GET FROM PARKS AND REC THAT AREN'T INCLUDED IN THIS AS WELL. COUNCIL. DO WE HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY SO I THINK WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. THIS EVENING IS DIRECTION. I APOLOGIZE. I LOST DIRECTION TO STAFF. IS THAT

[02:20:08]

DON'T BELIEVE IT MEETS FOUR B REQUIREMENTS OR ANY OF THE OTHER. INDIVIDUAL FUNDS. SORRY IF I'M NOT SPEAKING INTO THE MICROPHONE. UM THAT'D BE THE CLEANEST. YES, SIR. UM I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS. UM. USING ADDITIONAL HOTEL MOTEL TAX. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S THE DECISION THAT THE COUNCIL MAKES. COUNCILMAN MALIKI. IT DOESN'T LIGHT UP, SO OKAY. UM, IS THERE A PREFERENCE? WHERE THE ADDITIONAL MONEY SHOULD COME FROM WHAT WHAT AREA? NO, THAT'S UP TO COUNSEL. OKAY? WHAT? YOU HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT HOTEL MOTEL. THAT'S THAT'S WHY I WAS DIRECTING THAT QUESTION AGAINST THAT GOES TO MELISSA AS WELL. WELL I HAVE CONCERNS BECAUSE I'M NOT FOR SURE. UM I'M NOT SURE THAT. USING 100 AND $70,000 OUT OF HOTEL MOTEL TAX. AND THE ECONOMIC DRIVER BEHIND THAT. IT'S PUT BACK INTO OUR ECONOMY, WHICH IS WHAT THE HOTEL MOTEL TAX IS USED FOR HOTEL MOTEL TAX. USING THAT MONEY. AH THE EASIEST WAY TO THINK OF THAT AS EVENTS THAT PUT HEADS IN BEDS. SO, UM YOU KNOW, I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH 100,000. BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT ECONOMICALLY. MORE GAINING $170,000 BACK. FROM THAT. THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS IF WE'RE EVER AUDITED UM, I JUST WANT TO THE. ON THE UPSIDE OF THAT, SO I, BUT AGAIN, THAT'S IF WE'RE AUDITED AND THAT AGAIN. THAT'S THAT'S THE COUNCIL'S DECISION ON WHERE THAT COMES FROM. SO I'LL ASK A FOLLOW UP ON THAT BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS YOU OR MISS ALI. THE THAT DID THE RESEARCH INTO IF IT COULD BE USED TO BEGIN WITH. AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF THEIR GUIDELINES ON AMOUNTS OR HOW THAT WORKS OR BEST PRACTICES THAT YOU COULD HELP US WITH. I KNOW WE HAVE THEIR ESTIMATED IMPACT TO THE CITY. BUT OBVIOUSLY UNLESS WE PAY A CONSULTANT TO GO AND TRACK PEOPLE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE EXACT NUMBERS. CORRECT. I MEAN, IT'S NOT BUT MY CONCERN IS MORE IF THEY HOTEL REQUEST FOR AN AUDIT. UM. THE MONEY THAT THEY'RE USING. THE MONEY THAT WE'RE USING. IT'S JUST LIKE FIREWORKS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO USE HOTEL MOTEL FOR FIREWORKS BECAUSE EVERY CITY HAS A FIREWORKS SHOW, AND IT'S NOT BRINGING HEADS TWO BEDS. UM WE ONLY USE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE. FOR BLUEGRASS ON BALLARD BECAUSE UM YOU CAN'T JUST. ASSUME THAT EVERYONE IS COMING TO TOWN LIVES OUT OF TOWN, AND THEY'RE GOING TO STAY IN A HOTEL HERE. SO THERE ARE, UM. I CAN SEND IT TO YOU ALL AND EMAIL IT TO ALL AREAS OF TML SHEET THAT THE TWO PART TEST THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH. DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN UM. USE HOTEL MOTEL

[02:25:05]

[02:32:37]

UM OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE MAIN TESTS FOR US USING HOTEL MOTEL TAX FUND IS HAVING PEOPLE THAT ARE STAYING IN OUR HOTELS. CAN YOU TELL US IF YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY OBTAINED AND SOLD OUT BLOCKS OF ROOMS AT ANY OF OUR HOTELS IN TOWN? YES WE DID. WE UH WE APPROACHED THREE HOTELS AND WILEY LA CUENTA IN HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS. AND THEN I THINK THAT THE ONE WAS COMFORT INN SO LA CUENTA AND THEY ALREADY BOOKED THEIR HOTELS. PRIOR TO US GETTING TO THEM. WE BLOCKED SO I THINK 42 ROOMS AT HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS AND THAT HAS BEEN BOOKED. SO IN THE AREA HERE IN WILDLY, THERE ARE NO ROOMS AVAILABLE AT THIS MOMENT. OKAY? MAYOR PROTEIN. THANK YOU, MAYOR . I'M A SIMPLE GUY. HOW MANY ROOMS IN TOTAL ARE BOOKED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION OR MEMBERS OF YOUR ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE HOTELS. ALL. THREE UM. I KNOW BETWEEN THE TWO HOTELS.

85 ROOMS ARE BOOKED. BUT INDIVIDUAL SUPPORTERS AND FOLLOWERS, THEY BOOKED HOTEL ROOMS OVER THERE ON THEIR OWN. AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT DATA. WE DON'T WE ARE NOT WE DON'T HAVE THAT. BUT I KNOW CALLED FACT. LA CUENTA INN AND HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS. THE ROOMS ARE ALL BOOKED. DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT MAYOR PRO TEM? UM COUNSELING MILITIA. THANK YOU , MR MAYOR. MR. I'LL BE OBVIOUSLY SEEMS LIKE THIS HAS EVOLVED INTO A BIGGER EVENT THAT YOU INITIALLY THOUGHT OR INITIALLY BUDGETED. YOU SEE THAT? AS A AS WE'RE MAKING. THE

[02:35:02]

THAT'S WHY I LOOKED AT YOU. I WAS THINKING THAT THEY THEY'VE HERE LATELY, ALL BEEN LOCALLY, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT ALWAYS LOCALLY. IT WAS NOT. WE TRAVELED ACROSS THIS CITY. UM SO YOU HAD IT OUT OF COLLEGE CAMPUS? YES, UM WHAT DID THEY CHARGE FOR RENTING OUT THE STADIUM. THE STADIUM WAS 400,000. IT WAS 1000 TO 70 IS 130 LESS THAN LAST YEAR'S CORRECT STADIUM AND THEN THE 100,000 THAT THE CITY WAS GIVING ALSO WAS IN ANOTHER TOOK IT DOWN TO 1 70. SO FROM LAST YEAR, YOU'RE ALREADY AT A GAME. WHICH IS GOOD FOR THE EVENT. NO YOU KNOW, THAT'S GOOD, GREAT. AND WE LOVE HAVING YOU ALL HERE WERE EXCITED TO SEE YOU ALL PLAY AND EVERYTHING. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE BUDGET WISE FROM YOUR INITIAL BUDGET FROM LAST YEAR BECAUSE.

LAST YEAR. I KNOW YOU. I THINK YOU SAID THAT YOU HAD 40 SOMETHING 1000 IN FOR SECURITY, AND THIS YEAR, Y'ALL PUT IT AT 52. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE ON THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. YOU DID REALLY GOOD ON THE FACILITY. COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR. UM SO I WOULD PROBABLY STAND WITH COUNCILOR MALIKI TO LOOK AT WHAT. WHAT DO YOU ALL HAVE AVAILABLE IN WHAT POCKETS OF MONEY AND THE REST OF YOUR BUDGET TO LOOK AT WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP THAT SHORTFALL SO THAT IT'S NOT BECAUSE I DON'T SEE A SPECIFIC ASK HERE AND I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM AND THEN THIS IS A WORK SESSION. SO AT SOME POINT WE'RE GONNA GET TO HEY, WHAT'S THE ASK? SO THAT YOU DO HAVE AN ASK. OKAY ASK IS. HOW IS THE CITY? I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THEIR FINANCES OR HOW THEY OPERATE OR THEIR BUDGET OR ANYTHING ELSE. THE CITY HAS TO FIND 100 AND $70,000 FOR OVERTIME. TO STAFF THIS EVENT THAT IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE. WE'VE ALLOCATED 100,000 OF HOTEL MOTEL TAX TO THIS EVENT. HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY THE OTHER $70,000? THAT'S THAT'S THE ASK IF THAT 100,000 IS GONNA OFFSET THE 170,000 THEY ASK IS HOW WHERE ARE WE GETTING THE OTHER 70,000? I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ABOUT THEM. SO I HEAR YOU THE THING I'M NOT WHAT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST TIME IN THIS SITUATION IS WHAT? UM WHAT'S OUR NORMAL PROCEDURE? AS FAR AS HOW WE PAY FOR THE STAFFING ON EVENTS ONCE SHE GETS HER DONE? AND WHERE ARE WE IN THAT PROCESS ON THE CITY AGREED TO GIVE 100,000. WE KNEW BACK WHEN WE DID IT THAT THAT WAS GOING TO GO TO RENT THE STADIUM. SO WE THAT WASN'T GOING TO BE APPLIED THEN TO ANYTHING TO DO WITH STAFFING. THAT WAS JUST THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS. THAT WAS, I THINK WAS OUR

[02:40:05]

THOSE ARE THE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS. THAT'S WHERE WE CAN GET OUR MONEY. OKAY THAT'S ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL. IT'S ALL THE DIRECTION I NEED. COUNCILMAN STRING UM. I WOULD SUGGEST, AND WE CAN DO IT FROM THE HOTEL TAX, RIGHT? THAT'S FINE, THEN. SURE. 50 50. WE CAN SPLIT IT 50 50.

THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION. GENERAL FUND HOTEL TAX. SO USE THE 100,000 FROM THE ORIGINAL 100,000 FROM HOTEL MOTEL. AND 70,000 FROM GENERAL FUND. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? THAT CAN WORK? LOOK. KEEP YOURSELF EITHER WE MOVE FORWARD WITH SOMETHING AND WE JUST KILL IT.

YEAH SO MY SUGGESTION IS BECAUSE I DO THINK I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS MOVE FORWARD. I UNDERSTAND THAT PLANS CAN CHANGE AND ALL THAT, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD. I THINK IT'S A GOOD ADVANTAGE BE A GOOD EVENT FOR THE CITY TO HOST I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN IN THAT FINDING MONEY FROM TWO FUNDS THAT WE CAN TAKE MONEY FROM. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO FIND 100 $170,000, BUT DID I'D STILL BE WORKING WHEN WE RETIRING YET, BUT I'VE BEEN KEEPING IT. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. WITH YOUR PERMISSION. I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION THAT MR WILLIAMS ASKED.

ABOUT LAST YEAR'S EVENT. WE DON'T WE DON'T WE DON'T WANT ANY. YEAH WE'RE TRYING TO JUST SOLVE THIS ONE PROBLEM COUNSELOR ABOUT LAST YEAR'S EVENT, NO OFFENSE, BUT OKAY TRYING TO WE ARE FOCUSING ON THE HOTEL MOTEL TAX. BUT IN OUR WE HAVE A DATA TO SHOW THAT OUR PLAYERS AND SUPPORTER WILL SPEND $2.3 MILLION. DURING THAT WEEK. AND FOOD AND BEVERAGE AND THE NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT. SO I THINK, COUNCILMAN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. I'M GONNA ASK THAT WE AT THIS POINT WE WE'VE TALKED IT TO DEATH, SO TO SPEAK, UH, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING THE EVENT MOVE FORWARD, WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THAT THE OTHER 70,000 OR SO COME OUT OF HOTEL MOTEL OR FROM THE GENERAL FUND? OR WOULD YOU NOT LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD THAT I NEED JUST NEED YOUR OPINION? $100,000 OUT OF HOTEL MOTEL $70,000 OUT OF GENERAL FUND, OKAY? COUNCILMAN HOOVER. OH I APOLOGIZE. SORRY. MAYOR PRO TEM IS BUZZED IN. MAYOR PRO TEM THANK YOU. TAKE THE BOTH AMOUNTS OUT OF HOTEL MOTEL, BOTH FROM HOTEL MOTEL. COUNCILMAN HOOVER. 100,000 OUT OF HOTEL MOTEL AND $70,000 GENERAL CLARK. OKAY? UM I'M GOING TO AGREE WITH THE MAYOR PRO TEM. I WOULD TAKE BOTH FROM THE HOTEL MOTEL. SINCE IT'S DESIGNED FOR SPECIFIC USES. ONLY COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS. IF THOSE ARE OPTIONS, I'LL I'LL DO IT ALL AT A HOTEL MOTEL. OKAY? AND I BELIEVE COUNCILMAN DUKE HOTEL MOTEL. ALL OF IT. OKAY. DOES THAT GIVE US CONCERN IS,
