WALKING TRAILS PHASE.
YOSHI WRIGHT UPDATE. YES. SO LAST TIME WE MET, YOSHI WAS WORKING ON GETTING HIS MOUND UP, REDESIGNED SO THAT IT WOULD BE MORE. LESS MAINTENANCE IN THE LONG RUN IS REALLY WHAT HE WAS LOOKING AT. AND IN TRYING TO GET A COST SAVINGS, THE PAVERS THAT THE ORIGINAL DESIGN INCLUDED WERE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT HE HAD BUDGETED FOR. SO HE LET US KNOW THAT HE HAS FINALIZED A REVISED SET OF MOUND GEOMETRIES, WHERE IT'S SIMPLIFYING THE OVERALL SYSTEM COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN, AND HE HAS SENT IT TO HIS ARCHITECT FOR REVIEW SO HE CAN CONFIRM THAT THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT WILL INDEED WORK. AND THEN AS SOON AS HE GETS THAT DESIGN ENGINE STAMPED BY THE ENGINEER, HE'LL GET BACK TO US TO CONTINUE THAT PROCESS WITH BUILDING THE MOUNDS AGAIN. WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE MOUNDS TO BE BUILT BEFORE HE CAN SHIP THE TWO PIECES TO US FROM CALIFORNIA THAT ARE COMPLETED. ANY QUESTIONS? DOES HE HAVE A TARGET DATE THAT HE THINKS HE WILL BE COMPLETED? YES. SO RIGHT NOW HE'S GOT UNTIL JULY 31ST TO HAVE EVERYTHING COMPLETED. IF HE GETS BACK TO US AND NEEDS MORE TIME, THEN WE CAN GRANT HIM MORE TIME. BUT HE'S. HE'S TARGETED FOR A JULY 31ST COMPLETION AT THIS POINT. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION ITEM NUMBER TWO. WALKING TRAILS PHASE THREE SONY BOMB UPDATE. YES. SO SONY SENT SOME PHOTOS I THINK THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY. AND THAT WERE THOSE WERE THE PHOTOS THAT I EMAILED TO YOU GUYS THIS MORNING. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GOT A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THEM, BUT SO WHAT THOSE PHOTOS WERE WAS THE WHITE-TAILED DEER STATUE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AT THE FOUNDRY. SO IT IS NOW STANDING ERECT ON THE BASE. AND HE'S JUST DOING THE FINAL TOUCHES. AND THEN HE'S GOING TO BE COMING BACK NEXT WEEK TO PAINT THE ACTUAL THE DEER. AND THEN HE'S GOING TO BE PAINTING THE BASE AS WELL. AND THEN AFTER THAT IT WILL GET SHIPPED FROM SOUTH AFRICA. SO HE IS ROCKING AND ROLLING. AND PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE PHOTOS WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY AWESOME. IT LOOKS GREAT. ANY QUESTIONS? SO I HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION. WHICH ONE OF THESE THREE GOT AFFECTED IN CALIFORNIA FIRE? SO THE CALIFORNIA PIECES ARE SACRED FIRE AND ANCESTORS VOICE. SO SACRED FIRE IS THE THE ONE WHERE IT'S IT LOOKS LIKE THE FIRE PIT WITH THE THE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TOP. THEY'RE BOTH THE STONE PIECES. AND THEN TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THESE GOT DAMAGED IN CALIFORNIA. THAT WAS THE SACRED FIRE ONE, THE SACRED FIRE PIECE. IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN FIXED. WHICH ONE OF THIS ONE OR
[00:05:04]
YOSHI, SONNY OR YOSHI? YEAH. OKAY. LET ME MAKE SURE THAT I'M NOT FORGETTING ANYTHING ON SONNY. HE ALSO HE'S BEEN WORKING WITH SETH VANDERBILT, WHO'S DOING THE NATIVE AMERICAN HUNTER, BECAUSE THOSE TWO PIECES ARE GOING TO BE INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER. SO HE DID LET ME KNOW THAT HE'S BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SETH, AND HE'S WORKING ON GETTING HIS HIS CONCRETE BASE POURED IN ORDER FOR, YOU KNOW, GETTING READY FOR THE SHIPMENT TO COME OVER.SO EVERYTHING'S GOING REALLY GREAT WITH THAT. AND PROBABLY BY THE NEXT TIME WE MEET, WE SHOULD HAVE A FINALIZED PICTURE OF THE PAINTED DEER AND BASE. SO IS HE GOING TO THE BASE? IS HE GOING TO HAVE IT CONSTRUCTED HERE OR THAT'S PART OF WHAT'S BEING SHIPPED. IT'S ALREADY CONSTRUCTED. IT'S IT'S INCLUDED IN THAT. WHAT'S GOING TO BE SHIPPED FROM SOUTH AFRICA. SO IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR EMAIL, THE PHOTOS, YOU'LL SEE THE BASE IN IT AS WELL. OH, YEAH. SO IN THIS MODERN DAY OF FAST AIR TRAVEL, IS THAT COMING BY PLANE OR BY SHIP? IT'S BY SHIP. IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT SIX WEEKS ON THE OCEAN. I WAS KIND OF THINKING THAT WAS THE ANSWER.
ALL RIGHT. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? ANYBODY? WILL THE CITY BE HAVING TO DO ANY ADDITIONAL WORK TO PREPARE THE SITE FOR THE BASE? BECAUSE I'M GUESSING WEIGHT AND ALL THAT? YES WE DO. SO WE WILL IRRIGATE THE SPACE LANDSCAPE, THE SPACE STUB OUT ELECTRIC TO IT, BUT IT'S PART OF THEIR CONTRACT TO WORK WITH AN ENGINEER TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE GROUND SUPPORTS THE WEIGHT OF THE CONCRETE SLAB. OR LIKE IN YOSHI'S CASE, THE MOUNDS AND ALL THAT. SO THEY'RE GETTING THE ENGINEERED APPROVAL FOR THAT. BUT THEN THE CITY WILL COME IN WITH OUR ENGINEERS AND SIGN OFF ON ALL THE WORK THAT GETS DONE. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO THANK YOU, JULIE. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION ITEM NUMBER THREE WALKING TRAILS PHASE THREE. SETH VANDERBILT UPDATE. YEP. SO THIS ONE'S JUST REALLY QUICK. SO HE'S HE'S MOVING RIGHT ALONG AND HIS WHOLE PIECE HAS BEEN CAST IN, IN THE BRONZE. AND IT'S, IT'S TO THE ASSEMBLY PHASE WHERE NOW THEY'RE ASSEMBLING ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER AT THE FOUNDRY. SO HE'S GETTING REALLY CLOSE. SO AFTER THAT ASSEMBLY PHASE THEN HE'LL GO IN AND HE'LL PATINA HIS BRONZE AND HE'LL BE READY TO INSTALL. SO THAT'S THAT'S IT ON THAT ONE. HE'S ROCKING AND ROLLING. ANY MORE QUESTIONS. COMMENTS.
