WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS THE RECOMMENDATIONS RELATED TO THE FACILITY UPGRADES AND NEEDS. UH AND WE'LL BE GOING TO SHEILA.
FOR MOST OF THIS. OK, I HOPE THAT EVERYBODY GOT A CHANCE TO LOOK AT, UM WHAT I HAD ATTACHED TO THE GENDER. THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT STUDY WAS COMPLETED ON THE FACILITY. IT WAS THIS BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION THAT, UH, WE MOVE FORWARD TO SEE FROM AN OUTSIDE AGENCY. WHAT ARE CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS OF OUR FACILITY WOULD BE UM, SHELTER. PLANNERS OF AMERICA. I'M SURE YOU RECALL.
UM DID PREPARE THIS, UH, STEP ONE OF LIKE OF THE PROCESS, WHICH IS WHAT WE WERE REALLY KEEN ON WANTING TO FIND OUT. UM, WHERE WE ARE, AND IF WE WERE, UH FEASIBILITY WISE SHOULD WE TRY TO STAY WHERE WE'RE AT AND RENOVATE, YOU KNOW TO GET WHAT WE NEED WHERE WE'RE AT. AND, UM
[00:05:01]
IF YOU LOOKED OVER THE STUDY, YOU KIND OF SEEN WHAT? UH WHAT THE ASSESSMENT DOES DOES TELL US THAT WE WOULD HAVE A THEY'D RECOMMENDED A STOP GAP. UM SOME NOW NEEDS THAT NEEDED TO BE FILLED. UM THEY WERE VERY IN DETAILED ABOUT OUR FUTURE. UM PLAYING THIS OUT, I. I HATE TO ASK THIS, BUT EVERYBODY GOT TO SEE THIS STUDY, CORRECT AND WENT THROUGH IT. OK, SO, UM BASICALLY SEND US OUT. AT THE 2043 PROJECTED. SO, UM WHERE WE'RE AT. AS OPINION OF THESE THIS COMPANY THAT, UM WHEN WE'RE NOT IN A VERY, UH, VISIBLE LOCATION, UM AND WE ARE NOT LARGE. LARGE ENOUGH AREA FOR US TO LOOK AT WHERE WE SHOULD BE LATER DOWN THE LINE. SO, UM MIGHT BE MORE BENEFICIAL. IF YOU HAVE A LOOK THROUGH IT. IF YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR ME, SO I'M NOT LIKE JUST KIND OF ALL OVER THE PLACE. I THINK THE STUDY WAS, UM VERY, VERY IN DEPTH. I MEAN, THEY THEY TOOK EVERY STATISTICAL INFORMATION THEY WERE ON. YOU KNOW, ON SITE, YOU SEE, THEY CAME OUT AND DID PHOTOS. THEY, UH, LOOKED AT OUR LAND COVERAGE WHERE WE HAVE THERE. UM ALL OF OUR EVERYTHING WE WENT INTO TO EVERY DETAIL OF THEM SAYING WE HAD THIS MANY OF THIS TYPE OF ANIMAL COMING IN, AND, UM LOOKING DOWN THE LINE AND YOU KNOW, AND A LOT OF THE THINGS IN THERE SOMETIMES CAN SEEM TO BE NEGATIVE BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS IN THERE, BUT THE GOOD THING IS WE HAVE A VERY HIGH POSITIVE OUTCOME RATIO AND I. I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO FORGET THAT THAT THAT'S YOU KNOW, THE STAFF WORKS VERY HARD TO GET THERE. UM AND WE ALSO KNOW COINCIDING LIKE AFTER AFTER WE HAD MOVED FORWARD WITH THIS. WE HAVE THE SEPARATE RENOVATION THAT'S GOING ON CURRENTLY. UM AND IF YOU ARE UNAWARE OF THAT, UH, WE HAVE BEEN FUNDED TO GET A, UH, RENOVATION DONE IN THE FACILITY NOW. UM I BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT A NEW SHELTER. IT'S A NOW NEED. UH, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE STUDIES, YOU KNOW THAT IF WE LOOK AT THIS IN DETAIL, AND WE GO FROM, YOU KNOW HOW WE ALL YOU KNOW THE DIRECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN THAT UM I GUESS WHEN WE LOOK AT IT, IT'S A STOP GAP. I MEAN, IF YOU SAW THE STOP GAP, SO I WILL TELL YOU THAT THESE THESE TWO THESE TWO ENTITIES WERE NOT HAND IN HAND. SO WHEN THEY DREW THIS STOP GAP KIND OF DESIGN IN HERE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS MADE ME FEEL KIND OF BETTER ABOUT A RENOVATION WAS MOST OF IT IS, ARE THINGS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY RECOMMENDED? THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE WERE ALREADY LOOKING AT.AND THESE COMPANIES AREN'T WORKING TOGETHER. SO IT WAS, YOU KNOW, TWO COMPLETE. PLACE IS TELLING US THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED. YEAH. I MEAN, I'VE BEEN IN THAT BUILDING FOR 17 YEARS. I HAVE FAIRLY NO. WHAT WOULD REALLY GET US THROUGH AN OPTION? BUT IF MOVING FORWARD IN THIS CITY. IF WE GET TO A POINT OUR COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS OR WHEREVER WE GO FROM HERE, UM THIS. WOULD HOLD US. THIS RENOVATION WILL HOLD US, BUT IT'S NOT A FACILITY. A BRAND NEW FACILITY. THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. IN THIS PROPOSAL. THIS PROPOSAL IS A PLAN. AT OUR BUILD OUT OF THE CITY. WHAT? WHAT WE WOULD NEED AND THESE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT PARTS OF IT THAT I NEED TO EXPLAIN. I WANNA I DO WANNA STRESS Y'ALL ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN THIS. WE PUT THIS OUT. I YOU KNOW IT WAS A BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION. IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE PRESENT THIS TO Y'ALL. UM WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT THAT YOU'VE DONE TO PUSH US TO GET TO WHERE YOU KNOW WE'RE AT AND JUST THOUGHT IF YOU HAD ANYTHING, ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING ABOUT IT, IT WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THOSE TO ME. UM, BEFORE YOU MOVE FORWARD. I THINK THE NEXT STEP WAS PROBABLY WOULD BE TO PRESENT THIS TO COUNCIL. BUT IT WOULD ALSO BE WITH WE WOULD HAVE THE ACTUAL PEOPLE THAT CREATED THIS ALSO AS WELL. COME SPEAK ABOUT IT IN CASE THERE'S LIKE DETAILED QUESTIONS THAT I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO ANSWER ABOUT HOW THE STATISTICAL AMOUNTS AND THINGS WERE DONE EXACTLY. SO, MR CHAIR. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THE ON THE PRESENTATION, AND THAT WOULD
[00:10:08]
BE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT A STOP GAP . I KNOW THAT THE STOP GAP INCLUDES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE UH, RETROFIT OF THE CURRENT FACILITY. WHAT'S THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THOSE? RETROFITS IN OTHER WORDS, HOW LONG WILL THAT LAST US? UH, AS FAR AS POPULATION WISE HOW FAR CAN WE PUSH THAT. UH, WITHOUT LOOKING AT BUILDING A BRAND NEW BUILDING RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE. NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER TWO. I NOTICED THAT, UH, THERE A BROAD VARIETY OF COSTS IN THE SELECTIONS THAT ARE THAT ARE PRESENTED, AND I APPRECIATE THAT, BECAUSE IT GIVES THE ABILITY GIVES US THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION TYPES AND MATERIALS , UH, AS WELL AS THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE SO THANK YOU FOR GETTING MULTIPLE OPTIONS. BUT WHEN WE FINISH THIS THIS ALREADY APPROVED. OUR RENOVATION. WHAT'S THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE RENOVATION? THE CURRENT RENOVATION IS FOR NOW NEEDS WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW. HOW AND IT IT IS NOT GOING TO FULLY ADDRESS THE NOW NEEDS BUT WHAT IT IS GOING TO ADDRESS ARE THE ESSENTIAL NOW NEEDS, UM, LOOKING FORWARD AT A PROJECT LIKE THIS. WE ALL UNDERSTAND. I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS GONNA BE A BOND. IT'S A VERY LARGE PROJECT. AND CAN TAKE 345 YEARS. AND THAT IS A RECOMMENDATION. UM IS TO PUT A SALT GAP IN PLACE BECAUSE WE NEED THAT ASSISTANCE. NOW WE'RE WE'RE NOT ABLE TO FUNCTION. FULLY AND GIVE OUR CITIZENS WHAT THEY SHOULD NEED BY HAVING AN AREA TO MAYBE ISOLATE SOME SICK ANIMALS CURRENTLY NOW HAVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER FLOW. HAVE STAFFING HAVE SOME OF THOSE ESSENTIAL NEEDS THAT THEY NEED CURRENTLY. SO UM, THEY RECOMMENDATION ON THIS IS WHEN THEY WERE LOOKING AT THIS IS A FOUR YEAR OR ABOUT FOUR YEARS. ALSO KEEPING IN MIND. UM IT'S STILL A CITY BUILDING. IT CAN BE REPURPOSED FOR ANOTHER. ANOTHER CITY DEPARTMENT THAT MAY NEED THAT. THAT MAY NEED TO EXPAND EITHER A RAT ON HENSLEY BECAUSE WE ARE ADDING OFFING. SO THAT WOULD BE ESSENTIAL USE AS WELL AS WELL AS YOU KNOW, THE STORAGE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WE DON'T WANT TO, UM INVEST A HUGE AMOUNT IN THIS PROJECT, BUT WE DO WANT TO ADDRESS THOSE CURRENT URGENT NEEDS STAY. QUARANTINE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS NOW. IT'S NOT FUNCTIONING AND IT'S FUNCTIONING, BUT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT. UM, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR RESIDENTS. WE HAVE THREE SPOTS. AND, UH, THE COST TO THEM TO HAVE TO HAVE THEIR ANIMAL QUARANTINE AT A VET CLINIC. IF THEY CAN FIND ONE UNDER THE LEGAL STANDARDS IS VERY COSTLY TO THEM AS WELL. SO, UM ARE INTAKES ARE GETTING HIGHER BY THE YEAR. UM AND I JUST I 100% BELIEVE THAT, UH THIS. WHAT? WHAT THEY'VE LOOKED AT IS REALLY IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'VE ALREADY KNOWN WHAT WE'RE FEELING WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH DAILY THAT THIS WILL HELP US NOW. THAT WE REALLY HAVE TO BE HONEST AND JUST SAY THAT IT'S REALLY JUST GONNA HOLD US IS GONNA GET US WHERE WHERE WE NEED TO BE FOR A FEW YEARS, BUT WE CAN DO MUCH BETTER, AND WE CAN HELP THE DOG AREAS OUT AS WELL, TOO. UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT INCREASING OUR ABILITIES. TO INTAKE. JUST ADJUSTING THE NEEDS THAT WE REALLY HAVE NOW AND ENABLE TO SEPARATE CERTAIN ANIMALS WHEN THEY'RE SICK, AND THAT WILL HELP WITH INTAKE, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA INCREASE THE QUANTITY OF ANIMALS THAT WE CAN PUT IN IN THOSE AREAS. SO MY ONLY COMMENT TO THAT WOULD BE THAT SINCE THE RENOVATIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW THE FACT THAT SHELTER PLANNERS AGREES WITH THE RENOVATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED. BUT I THINK THAT THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE CONVERSATION WOULD BE FORWARD MOVING AS FAR AS, UM WHAT THE DESIRE IS. FOR CONSTRUCTION. OF A NEW FACILITY. UM TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FACT THAT NUMBER ONE MOST OF THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE LISTED IN THIS IN THIS PRESENTATION. RANGE IN SIZE BETWEEN 2.5 TO 6 ACRES. AND THAT'S A WELL, 1.5 TO 6 ACRES, WHICH IS PRETTY LARGE PIECE OF[00:15:04]
PROPERTY. IN THE CITY. SO I THINK THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE BECAUSE THAT'S A LONG PROCESS IN ITSELF IN AND OF ITSELF. IS THE ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AND THEN ALSO THE MOVE FORWARD WITH ENGINEERING ETCETERA FOR A FOR FACILITY, SO I AGREE THAT IF THE RENOVATIONS ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE US EXPANDED CAPABILITIES IN THE CURRENT LOCATION. THEN THE MAJORITY OF THE CONVERSATION SHOULD BE FUTURE NEEDS OF THE W THE ANIMAL SERVICES. UM THE PLAN TO GET THERE. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. THE DETAIL IS VERY NICE TO HAVE. I ON THAT ACREAGE AMOUNT OF, YOU KNOW, THEY DO HAVE THAT RECOMMENDATION IN THERE FOR TWO OR THREE ACRES. SO I DO UNDERSTAND THAT AND I WILL TAKE THAT 10,000. FOR THE DIRECTION WE SHOULD BE GOING. I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD. I THINK IT WILL BE IMPORTANT WHEN WE DO WHEN YOU DO PRESENT TO COUNCIL TO MAKE IT NOT JUST THE AMOUNT OF SPACE YOU NEED, BUT ALSO THE ACCESSIBILITY AND WHERE WE'RE PUTTING THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE 100% RIGHT RIGHT NOW. IT'S NOT A GREAT LOCATION. UM, IT WAS BUILT AS ANIMAL CONTROL BACK IN THE DAY, RIGHT OR NOT EVEN ANIMAL CONTROL. IT WAS BUILT FOR A WHOLE DIFFERENT PURPOSE. BUT THE CURRENT BUILDING IS NOT MEANT TO BE. FRIENDLY. LOOKING TO THE OUTSIDE PUBLIC, AND I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE REALLY IMPORTANT ON WHERE WE PUT IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SUCCESSFUL. AND WE CAN GET AS MANY ANIMALS ADOPTED AND ONE OF THE BIG POINTS THAT WAS MADE IN THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS INCREASING VISITORS SO AND INCREASING VISITORS. SO I AGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT. MADAM AND I THINK THAT ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IS THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A SERVICE. FOR THE CITIZENS OF WILEY. AND WHEN WE BUILD THINGS, WE DON'T BUILD THINGS CHEAP. WE BUILD THINGS THAT WILL DO THE JOB AND PRESENT THE SERVICES THE WAY THAT CITIZENS EXPECT. AND SO I THINK THAT YOU YOU'RE 100% RIGHT THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE, UH THAT THE VISIBILITY OF THIS FACILITY IS GREATER THAN IT CURRENTLY IS. UH AND THAT BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED FOR PUBLIC THEATER ACT. IT'S NOT A BUILDING TO BE SHOVED BACK IN THE CORNER. AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC VIEW. INSTEAD, IT SHOULD BE, UH OUT IN THE FRONT OF THE PUBLIC VIEW BECAUSE IT IS SOMEWHERE YOU KNOW, VERY SIMILAR TO OUR FIRE STATIONS. WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME AND SEE THEM. WE WANT PEOPLE TO VISIT THEM SOMEWHERE TO OUR FACILITIES HERE. WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME TO THE LIBRARY. WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME TO CITY HALL. WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME AND SEE THE ANIMAL SHELTER BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST A SHELTER. IT IS A IS A WORKING PORTION OF ANIMAL SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY, AND THERE'S MORE THAN JUST A SHELTER IN THAT WITHIN THAT BUILDING, SO I AGREE WITH YOU 100 PER CENT. THANK YOU FOR THOSE COMMENTS.WHERE AM I? HERE? MY OWN. IT'S BEEN SO LONG. UH WHAT A DISCUSSION OF, UH, POTENTIAL MULTISTOREY. I'M SORRY. AS A DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL A MULTI STORY. IN THE CONSTRUCTION. THE TURNER SPEAKER. IT'S OK. OK, YOU'RE FINE. YOU'RE FINE. UM MULTI STORY, UM, FACILITIES. I MEAN, THAT'S THAT. SO I DID ACTUALLY ASK THIS QUESTION. THOSE THINGS ARE UNCOMMON IN THIS TYPE OF WORK ALL THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO HAVE IN A MULTI STORY ABOVE WOULD BE LIKE A LEARNING CENTER. YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOME OFFING, BUT YOUR ANIMALS ARE HERE, SO OUR RUN AREAS ARE WHAT TAKES UP A LOT OF THIS FOOTAGE AND THIS SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THIS. A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, IN OUR YOU'VE VIEWED OUR FACILITY NOW OUR ANIMALS ARE FACING EACH OTHER. THEY CAN'T GET OUT. YOU KNOW THEY'RE IN ONE SINGLE. THESE ARE INDOOR OUTDOOR. IT'S GONNA IT'S JUST GONNA BE ALL OVER BETTER FOR THE ANIMALS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. A MULTI STORY WOULD ONLY HELP US TO DO OTHER AREAS THAT I MEAN, QUITE FRANKLY, I WOULD BELIEVE IT WOULD BE UNNECESSARY. YOU KNOW, WE DO IN THIS PLAN. THE GOOD THING WITH THIS. THIS ISN'T SHEILA SITTING DOWN, SAYING I WANT THIS AND I WANT THIS AND I WANT THIS. THIS IS A AN ORGANIZATION THAT WENT THROUGH THIS AND SAID, THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW. BUT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO REALLY DO IT ALL BECAUSE YOU'RE HAVING TO HOLD PEOPLE BACK, RIGHT? WE WANNA BE MORE APPROACHABLE. WE WANNA BE MORE OUR RESIDENTS. THEY THEY NEED ASSISTANCE. AND
[00:20:02]
THEY THEY NEED TO FIND A PLACE FOR THIS. I'M I'M I'M MOVING. I'M GOING HERE. WE JUST CAN'T WE HAVE 15. ACTUAL DOG RUNS LIKE 15 THAT ARE ON ONE SIDE OF THAT BUILDING. LIKE AT THE REST OF YOU PUT THEM ACROSS OR LOOKING AT EACH OTHER. THEY'RE BARKING. THEN YOU'VE GOT THREE QUARANTINE RIGHT? IT RUNS AND WE CAN FILL THOSE UP. BUT YOU'RE GONNA BE CLEANING ALL DAY BECAUSE YOU HAVE CONTACT TIMES FOR CHEMICALS . YOU CAN'T OVERSPRAY BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO HIT ANOTHER KENNEL. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE JUST NOT IT WAS GREAT. FOR WHERE WILEY WAS. IT'S NOT GREAT FOR WHERE WE IS AND WHERE WE'RE GOING. IF THAT IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO PROJECT A MULTI STORY THAT WHAT I SAY IS THE A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THIS IS ADMINISTRATIVE. THE MAJORITY OF THIS IS ANIMAL AND WE CAN ONLY PUT THOSE ON TO A MULTILEVEL WE WANNA BE FRIENDLY. WE WANT YOU TO COME IN. WE DON'T WANT YOU TO COME IN A WAREHOUSE ENVIRONMENT. I WANT YOU TO COME IN. BRING YOUR TROOPS. THIS KIND OF SETTING WILL ALLOW A LOT MORE OF THESE TOURS AND A LOT LESS OF US HAVING TO OVERHANG AND PEOPLE AND, UM IT'S DEFINITELY FOR ME. YOU KNOW, THIS MAY BE AFTER MY TIME OF BEING HERE WITH THE CITY. BUT IT'S DEFINITELY FOR ME TO KNOW THAT THIS IS YOU KNOW, I HEARD ON THE TABLE AND YES, I APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING THROUGH THIS AND TALKING ABOUT OUR VISIBILITY. BECAUSE BEING OVER THERE YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WE'RE THERE.THERE'S A COUPLE OF SIGNS OUT THERE. BUT YOU DON'T YOU DON'T WALK IN AND GET THIS THIS, YOU KNOW, LET'S GO PET THINGS KIND OF FEELING, YOU KNOW, AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO COME IN. WE WANT OUR CATS TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR CAGES AND STRETCHING AND GO, YOU KNOW, OUT OUTSIDE A LITTLE BIT AND ALL OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS EVERY BIT OF FOOTAGES AND THINGS THAT YOU SEE HERE AREN'T BECAUSE THEN THEY DID ASK ME A COUPLE OF THINGS LIKE I WOULD LIKE A AREA TO PHOTOGRAPH ANIMALS, YOU KNOW, LIKE THIS IS HOW MANY FEET YOU HAVE WHAT YOU CAN FIT INTO IT KIND OF KIND OF THING. SO UM, IT DETAILS ALL THE PROGRAMS WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING. IT'S NOT EVEN LOOKING AHEAD AT THINGS THAT WERE NOT ALREADY TRYING TO DO, BUT WE'RE HAVING TO DO IT OUTSIDE. WE'RE HAVING TO DO IT VERY RESTRICTIVE. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED, I. I MEAN, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GOING, AND I. I CAN APPRECIATE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE TRYING TO THINK ABOUT SAVING LIKE FOUNDATIONAL SPACE OR LAND SPACE, BUT I DON'T I DON'T THINK THAT, UM THAT'S LET'S SEE LIKE IT. IT WASN'T SUGGESTED BY THEM. I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN TO A FACILITY THAT HAD AN UPSTAIRS UNLESS IT WAS MORE JUST FOR STAFFING. STORAGE. MAYBE THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT NOT TYPICALLY.
WELL. THE ONLY REASON I ASKED THE QUESTION BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU'RE DEFINITELY ADEQUATELY ANSWERING IT. BUT UH, WAS JUST POSSIBLE. UH, VERSATILITY. IN STEP MOVEMENT. OF BUILDING IT.
AT AT AT NOT ALL AT ONCE. BUT SOME HERE SOME THERE AND GET IT WHERE YOU WANT IT TO BE. SO I JUST. SO THAT I'M INTERESTING. ARE YOU SAYING ARE ARE YOU, UH, SUGGESTING ASKING ME IF WE STAY WHERE WE'RE AT IN NO, THAT THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL. UM I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC SQUARE FOOTAGE TO COMP THE GOAL. UM BUT I WAS JUST THINKING IF YOU NEEDED VERSATILITY IN WHEN YOU STEP IT IN IN STEPS. BUILDING. UH, YOU GET YOU TO WHERE YOU CAN OPERATE FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS AND KNOWING WHAT'S COMING. THEY ADD ON A LITTLE BIT. UP, DOWN OR SIDEWAYS. TRYING TO THINK OF HOW TO ANSWER THAT. I THINK RIGHT, I. I THINK LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING AND PHASES IS THAT IS THAT WHERE AT SO? I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I COULD DEFINITELY PRESENT THAT KIND OF QUESTION. I THINK THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES TO REPETITIVELY RISE. AND, UM, I THINK WE KNOW THAT WE NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PARKING. WE NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THIS, AND THAT'S WHAT THAT SPATIAL IS.
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN'T I I'M JUST TRYING TO ON THE FLY. AND I'M NOT TRYING TO DISMISS.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME? THINK ABOUT WE'RE BUILDING IN PHASES OF BUILDING UPWARD OR WHATEVER IF WE WANTED TO ADVANCE ON THE INITIAL NEEDS OF THE INTAKE. THE PARKING THE DOG SQUARE FOOT IS THAT OUTDOOR, THE OUTDOOR AREAS THAT'S A VERY LARGE PART OF THE FOOTAGE THAT'S ON HERE, SO, UM, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT. AND SEE WHERE WE COULD GO WITH THAT.
[00:25:02]
WELL, YOU YOU. EXPERTS. I KNOW YOU'RE THESE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. I'M NOT. I'M NOT TRYING TO INTERJECT ANYTHING THAT THAT INDICATES THAT. I THINK THAT SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD DO THIS DIFFERENT WAY. I'M JUST SUGGESTING POTENTIALS. THERE MIGHT BE LOOKED AT IF THE BUDGET IS NOT AVAILABLE TO BUILD IT ALL AT ONCE. YES, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND, UM I WILL ASK AND JUST SEEK ADVISEMENT FROM OTHERS ABOUT THAT AND SEE, UH, WHERE TO GO FROM THERE. THIS IS, UM THIS IS REALLY JUST TELL US WHAT OUR FOOTAGES ARE. AND WHAT WE NEED. I MEAN, THIS ISN'T LIKE HERE'S A BUILDING DRAWN OUT FOR YOU PURPOSE, SO I THINK WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT AND JUST SEE, UM, WHERE TO GO FROM THERE. SO I WILL SEEK ADVISEMENT ON IT BY CHAIN AND SEE WHERE WE CAN GO. ME. I GOT ANYTHING ELSE. ALL RIGHT. WELL NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. WE CAN MOVE BACK INTO OUR REGULAR SESSION. THERE ARE NO OTHER ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. AND I ALSO GET THAT MOTION. ALRIGHT. WE CAN VOTE ON THAT NOW.MOTION PASSED
