I'm just 52 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,440 going to give you a brief update on some of the current projects we have 53 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,440 got happening right now . These 54 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,440 are projects are going to touch on today. 55 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,440 powerstation five, the hangar, servicenter, phase 3, and the justice center 56 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,440 . Tonight I will also be asking for your direction on several 57 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,440 of these projects. 58 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,440 >> someone is calling in for direction. 59 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,440 >> the first project we are going to discuss tonight is the fire station five 60 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440 located on warroad. The reason we are discussing the 61 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,440 fire station five project is the direct connection we have got of this project 62 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,440 scheduled to be and project we are going to be discussing. The next steps 63 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,440 for this project are tied 64 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,360 to the decision for the hangar project. The construction of fire station 65 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:34,600 -- 66 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,440 >> we are not used to the word hangar. 67 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,640 >> okay, so this one is the old 68 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,440 fire edmond building. I don't want to confuse people because I 69 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,440 guess they are technically both fire buildings. 70 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,440 we call the hangar the one over on the intersection of 71 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,440 southwestern and south coppell road. 72 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,440 the construction of the fire station cannot proceed until the 73 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,840 old art center is --into the old art center 74 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,440 is demolished. And, the use the space have a place to 75 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,440 move to. 76 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,440 so, the recommendation for this is , 77 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,440 we make sure that we relocate the folks out of this and tie that 78 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,440 in that construction schedule to the 79 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,440 fire station. So, that is kind of just where we are at. 80 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,440 we are not necessarily asking for direction but sharing the schedule 81 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,440 and the updates for the fire station project as it ties into the old 82 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,440 art center. In the building located on southwestern 83 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,400 and south coppell road. Just to 84 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,440 be clear, the construction of the fire station project 85 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,440 is tied directly to the demolition of this building. 86 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,360 >> what exactly is stored 87 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,360 in the more roadbuilding? 88 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,360 >> stephen over there, 89 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,440 janine can jump in on that, with our facilities guys, went 90 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,440 over there today and took some pictures. There is currently some space that they 91 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,840 then some space that they use for the old 92 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440 standard they use for rehearsals. 93 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,440 the rest of the stuff was lots and lots of miscellaneous storage things, 94 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,440 piled up everywhere. I'm not sure what 95 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,960 that is , if it is new stuff or stuff that does not have 96 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:27,760 a home anymore. 97 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,760 >> props. 98 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,440 >> old sets and old costumes, different pieces 99 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,440 . 100 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:45,440 >> so that space , that building is 8500 square feet but they are not utilizing that 101 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,440 full space for that facility. 102 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,640 >> am I remembering correctly that there is 103 00:07:54,440 --> 00:08:00,440 an additional --like a storage unit or something like that? Where 104 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,800 other props and things are stored as well? Or is anything 105 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:03,320 to start? 106 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,440 >> there is additional storage. 107 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,440 >> okay, thank you. 108 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,440 >> so this one is the way we are going, the hangar, little background 109 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,440 on the history of the building and a 110 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:23,440 picture just in case you're not familiar with where that is. It 111 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,440 is a temporary library space, it is the incubator space for 112 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,440 the new art center and then it is now what we call the hangar which 113 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,440 is the training space for the city staff. 114 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,440 it was originally constructed in 1992 and also at that time housed 115 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,440 building inspections. 116 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,440 let's see here. 117 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,840 then, most recently , the computer lab for the city 118 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,440 training staff has been located in this building and 119 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,440 that also ties into some discussions that we will have if 120 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,440 the art space takes this space over, then the loss of the training space 121 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,520 for the city ties into the servicenter. 122 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,920 here is kind of the floor plan for the 123 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,520 proposed remodel of this project for the approval to 124 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,520 move forward of the fire station five and old art center side, the resident 125 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,720 companies office spaces will be displayed so 126 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,520 the request is to utilize the space for housing resident art 127 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,520 companies. Tonight staff is looking for 128 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,520 direction on proceeding with this plan that consists of an estimated 129 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,520 cost of $1 million to renovate this 5000 square-foot interior, the 130 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,720 remodel would include 88 compliant restrooms, set building, 131 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,520 personal meeting spaces and offices for the users 132 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,920 that are theater, coppell, the creative's groups, this building 133 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,520 would only be utilized by our groups and not open 134 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,520 to the public. 135 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,920 so, proceeding forward would allow the resident arts companies 136 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,520 to be relocated prior to the demo of fire 137 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,440 station five, so the construction building being removed and in the 138 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,440 construction schedule for the fire station is directly impacted 139 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:21,440 by this project. We kind of try to outline some of the spaces 140 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:27,440 and their descriptions there and then the origin of this layout was from 141 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,440 janine spending time with those resident workers and this was 142 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,440 the floor plan that those four groups worked out 143 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,440 with her that everybody agreed 144 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,440 on so we moved forward with the architect to get to this point so that we could 145 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,440 get some pricing scenarios put forth on what it would take 146 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,440 to have it ready in time to relocate folks, so on this project 147 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,440 , we are to the point now if you guys 148 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,240 would like to move forward with that , our 149 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:04,840 next steps would be to go through the bid process for construction on that. 150 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:15,440 >> so give us an idea how those spaces compare, space to the right? Is that approximately 151 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:21,440 the same size as the theater stage and the black 152 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,440 box? Or is it smaller, is it much smaller? 153 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,440 >> I will let janine jump in too, we measured 154 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,440 the space that was existing, the existing black box space they were using 155 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,440 in the old arts area was 30 by 30 and 156 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,440 the meeting space they were using for the corral group 157 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,440 , the choir, was a 20 by 20 area. Even though the 158 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,440 building they are in was a very big building, they were 159 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,440 kind of primarily using it for storage and they had open spaces 160 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,440 tucked in there that they were using. 161 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,400 so this would be more the 162 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,440 opposite. It is more dedicated open space with dedicated storage. 163 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,440 so I don't know if you can jump in and say 164 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,440 whether it is approximately the same size because the building 165 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,280 overall is smaller than the existing building space for them 166 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,920 to use in this scenario. 167 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,120 >> you are correct. The rehearsal space, the 168 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,440 large square that is up on the right, fits the current 169 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,240 wilson theater stage space in that space. So, 170 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,440 if you do show could be rehearsed there. The secondary rehearsal space, 171 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,640 which is the little odd shaped room 172 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,440 in the middle, it is a smaller space that that would be for 173 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,440 meetings and table readings or breakout rehearsals. This larger space on the right 174 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,440 is not the same size as the usable space in the main hall, it 175 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,440 is about 10 feet shy of meeting that minimum usable space 176 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,440 requirement. But for the groups that use the 177 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,440 main hall , they are not doing full stage productions so they should still be able 178 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,440 to rehearse the same way 179 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,440 they would rehearse in the current art center. 180 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,240 these dimensions are based off of the current 181 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,440 arts center. 182 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,440 >> john? 183 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,440 >> I'm sorry, what was the size of the building again? 184 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,440 >> this building is 5000 square feet. 185 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,440 >> 5000 square feet. And you mentioned 186 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,440 renovation? 187 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,440 or, how much of a difference is it, what it was before to what 188 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,240 this is illustrating now? It just seems 189 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:31,800 high. 190 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,000 >> it is primarily interior demo, new floors 191 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,840 , electrical, adding office space , 192 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,440 the original plan was kind of leave some restrooms and kitchen areas 193 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,640 as they are but with it being 194 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,440 over $2000 it triggers the texas department of licensing installation for the ada inspection 195 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,440 so we factored in making the restrooms ada compliant 196 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,440 as well as switching it out from a kitchen to a break room 197 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,440 which changes code requirements and makes it 198 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,440 a little bit less. It also includes exterior upgrades to 199 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:16,440 the building because right now , there is some exterior siding and roofing 200 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,440 that needs repaired. When we add the original layout of this building 201 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,440 for the double doors are on the south side, it is originally the front 202 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,440 entry doors, they are all residential grade doors and so we are replacing 203 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,440 the exterior doors 204 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,440 , commercial grade doors, and then we are shifting the entries to the rear of 205 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,440 the building which is the side with the fire station and animal 206 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,440 shelter so we are having to add accessible pathways to the parking lot and some 207 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,440 additional sidewalks . We are widening the doors so that they can 208 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,440 fit props in there. We were originally talked about 209 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,440 a bit of a rollup door but it is still a shorter 210 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:01,440 hate feelings of the role of door does not really get any 211 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,440 space. We want to make sure when we are building 212 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,440 the sets that they are not a three foot wide door so they 213 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,440 can get in and out and it also requires ramping down the parking lots. 214 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,840 some exterior considerations, adding access controls and some cameras 215 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:22,440 to that, so there is some I.t. Work in there. 216 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,440 there is a pretty good I.t. Closet in there that we 217 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,440 need to keep access for so what we are budgeting for, hopefully it 218 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,440 will be less and hopefully much less than that but that is just the overall 219 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,440 budget for the cost estimate. That the cost estimate for that entire 220 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,440 scope, because there are some in there for that 221 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:46,440 , some of those things want to get into it, I just 222 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:52,440 got estimated at this point, waiting on the green light 223 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,440 , if you guys are wanting to move forward, 224 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,560 that is where we will come back with an actual estimate and 225 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,360 a contractor. 226 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,960 >> is this strictly just the renovation 227 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,440 and remodeling, right? It does not include any of the 228 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,440 --I thought some had mentioned the main difference 229 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,640 is they had issues with dislocation because 230 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,440 of the lightings and all of the sound, so those 231 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:27,240 are not even included in the estimate of $1 million, is that correct? Puma 232 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,440 correct, it is not meant to be a space where they will be doing any 233 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,440 productions and it will just be a practice space. 234 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,360 >> read, but you mentioned how it is quite different, not having 235 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:35,680 those -- 236 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,440 >> acoustics. Right. >> no, there is no acoustical upgrade or theater 237 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,840 lighting upgrades in that. 238 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,440 don. 239 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,440 >> just to clarify, this building is smaller than 240 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,440 the other one, is anybody actually practicing in the old fire station 241 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,440 now? Or is it just storage? 242 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,440 >> the old arts center , occasionally a group may use that if they 243 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,400 --we do not have space available 244 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,920 in the arts center but I can confidently say that 99% of all rehearsals from 245 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,120 all rooms have been there. 246 00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:14,440 >> he would be moving from arts center 247 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,440 to this ? 248 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,440 >> for rehearsal purposes, yes. >> all right, thanks. 249 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,440 >> fitting part of the reason is this vehicle is 250 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,440 available but also proximity, the arts center, it is on the same road, 251 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:32,440 you can walk to it. That being close by I think is 252 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,240 a definite bonus because that availability is there. 253 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,440 >> jim. >> so, when was this building last use? 254 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,240 >> a couple months ago. We have used it 255 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,440 as training facility for city staff. 256 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,240 when we did computer trainings, a computer lab, 257 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,760 a college, several months ago. It has been 258 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,600 actively used. 259 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,640 >> okay. What were the plans for it? If we weren't going to 260 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,160 do this, -- 261 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,440 >> we have not had any plans for it. 262 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,440 >> it was just going right. 263 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,440 >> it was kind of --you know, there was kind of just 264 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,440 storage space, empty space, I guess. 265 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,640 >> there is great ! Lily, like I said, 266 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,440 when we had a place to go for the library, right? 267 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:30,400 and then when the center was getting kicked off, everything was 268 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,760 housed over here. So it has been a great flex 269 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,200 space for us. 270 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,200 >> so, okay. 271 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,440 that I mean, one of the biggest features of this is I understand 272 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,440 it, is that a gives the arts companies out of the 273 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,440 arts center practicing so that we can 274 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,440 have some additional paid events there. 275 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,440 is that a fair -- 276 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,440 >> it has the potential for doing that, yes. 277 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,440 >> you all had a broader conversation later but it creates 278 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,440 opportunity. With moving forward with the fire 279 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:06,440 station five , there is going to be displacement. So the question is, 280 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,520 what if any role do we have in that displacement? This is 281 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:15,520 an option that is available to us that then affords the arts groups 282 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,520 a place where they can call home , 283 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,320 have offices, do their rehearsals, do their construction. 284 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:30,520 right now the artwork space, that would be a promising space for them, right? 285 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,520 so while it may be smaller square footage, 286 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,520 it is a good use for the facility. 287 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:41,320 >> well, I would still give priority to the 288 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:48,520 fire station, that is something with the extent of displacement 289 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,520 for a period of months, we were able to get the 290 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,520 fire station completed quicker, then we can complete this, then I would 291 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,520 still give privacy to the fire stations because the public health 292 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:03,520 and safety aspects of it, but, you know, I know that 293 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:10,440 all of rehearsals and a lot of the limitations on using the arts center for 294 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,440 has been a big issue so this seems to be 295 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,440 a fairly elegant response that 296 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,440 also frees up the arts center for some important things that we could 297 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,440 not do in this building that we could only do in 298 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,440 the arts center. 299 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,440 >> kevin. >> that is all I have. 300 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,440 >> just a couple questions. 301 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,440 with this space , would it provide enough prop storage 302 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,840 to eliminate the additional storage that is --that we 303 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:39,880 are currently renting? 304 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,280 >> that was my question. 305 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,440 >> I can't really answer that question.

You 461 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,520 can easily add 462 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,520 two rollup doors and fill those w's in with 463 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,520 two storage units, they are probably bigger than 464 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,520 the storage unit they have now that is on site without looking like an 465 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,520 afterthought kind of thing. There are definite opportunities on site 466 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:54,520 to use that space, so that is kind of the reason that we 467 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,320 shelved the storage a little bit, did not 468 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,520 want to start a whole other architectural 469 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,520 project. Let's figure out what everybody wants to 470 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:07,520 do so we can move forward and not stop the fire station project. That the 471 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,120 nice with this one where if 472 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,440 we get told to move forward, we are ready for the bidding part 473 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,440 of that project. We are pretty far along so that it would 474 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,440 not be that long of a timeline to go in and get 475 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,800 stuff demoed out and get things to where 476 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:25,760 they are okay. 477 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,960 >> just to be clear, there's no functions 478 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:37,440 going on in their currently if we just use it for training? 479 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,440 >> for training. Es uses it if we have computer training or, 480 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:46,440 remember, we were doing the tether project, a lot of 481 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,440 the trainees were over there. It is set up for that purpose and 482 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,440 that purpose only. 483 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,440 it is basically in that area that says personal space. 484 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,440 >> so, would we displace that 485 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,440 and move it somewhere else? 486 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,440 >> we have some alternative locations. 487 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,440 in our operation , in this building as 488 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,400 an example, but then that also kind of gets to 489 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,400 the justice center conversation. 490 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,400 >> service center. 491 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:28,440 >> then I also wonder, do we have other facilities and spaces 492 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,840 that could house the rehearsal space for the different 493 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,440 resident companies ? You know, we have got 494 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,640 a biodiversity center, that sits over there 495 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,440 after hours, not being used. 496 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,440 we have the latest safety.. 497 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,440 there are lots of space over there in those various buildings, 498 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,440 do we need to spend another million dollars 499 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,400 here if we have got space 500 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,400 that is not being fully utilized? 501 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,840 >> we have not explored other building locations for rehearsals. 502 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,360 this facility is more than just rehearsal 503 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,440 space. Right? 504 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,400 >> yeah, but we could get by 505 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,440 with a lot of storage space for $1 million. 506 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,440 >> yes. Correct. 507 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,440 >> so that is where I am a little concerned. 508 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,440 and if you want to go down this road, I don't 509 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:41,440 know that all rehearsals have to be moved over there 510 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:46,240 to a new location and then we displace 511 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,400 the amount of the art center. 512 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,360 >> that will be a discussion we are going to 513 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,360 have in just a moment. 514 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,440 >> I have a question. So, I think just 515 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,440 for clarification , because you make a really good point, 516 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,440 mark, but for clarification, it is used for storage 517 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:13,240 as well as , I presume , storage of props 518 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,240 or costumes and then staging of whatever they 519 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,840 are doing ? I don't know. I guess because I 520 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,440 am thinking about, if we were to use the biodiversity center or some other 521 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:36,640 location in the evenings, not during the day, then would that require 522 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,440 something to be taken down so that the biodiversity center can function as 523 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,440 a biodiversity center during the day? 524 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,440 and here it would stay the whole time, but I don't know enough 525 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,440 about this business to understand how that works. 526 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:52,240 >> if you look at even compel, they're going 527 00:33:53,440 --> 00:34:00,440 to utilize the space to have their table, they will have their rehearsals, 528 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,400 they use mock staging tears, tables 529 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:11,440 and props. In the prop storage and building area, that is actually 530 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,440 store all of the staging for that show that will 531 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,440 then move into the arts center when it is time to do 532 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,440 the show. The orchestra and corral will 533 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,440 also be rehearsing in that space and have all of their music storage there which 534 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,640 they shaded in green square , is probably 535 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:35,840 maybe just big enough to possibly fit it in. 536 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,440 almost 30 years of storage. Than they have all the chairs 537 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,440 and music stands that they will all need for their rehearsal. 538 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,440 so all of that will have to be housed in that facility and 539 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,440 when they multi use and they schedule who uses the main rehearsal 540 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,440 space, they will have to move those items. But there will be construction being 541 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,440 --happening in that building as well. 542 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:58,440 >> thank you. 543 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,440 which I think is what we had also talked about when we 544 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,440 were building the arts center, was that we would 545 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:11,440 still need to have this building to do described, right? 546 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,240 >> during the lead up, there was a discussion, 547 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,440 peter is not necessarily in agreement with it, 548 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,440 quite frankly. That was that the sets would be built offset 549 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,640 and trekked over to the art center. 550 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,440 we opened and they started building their sets 551 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,840 at the arts center. 552 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,440 >> what 553 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,440 will move the art center to this new facility, 100%? 554 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,640 >> so, for theater, let's say that they 555 00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:00,440 have a --each show they do a two month period. They would 556 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,840 do the first month 557 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,440 of rehearsals in a rehearsal space and they would be building and then they 558 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,440 would be able to move into the arts center 559 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,640 performance. So, they would have 12 to 13 days 560 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,440 to move their sets in, paint the floor, install their set, do blocking rehearsals 561 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:27,440 to be comfortable in that space and then start their tech. They traditionally 562 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,440 do four days of tech before their show opens. 563 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,440 so they will do the basis of their rehearsals and prep time in this facility 564 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,440 and then move over to the arts center when it is time to get ready 565 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:42,440 close to the date of the show. The orchestra and the corral 566 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,440 tends to do what we call one off shows where they literally 567 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,440 move in the morning of the show, do a 568 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,440 text, and then do their show that day, or they move in the day before 569 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,440 the show , do a tech and do the show the next day. And they could take 570 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,240 the opportunity to move in as much as 571 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:08,440 five days in advance because they could have a full eight days in 572 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,440 the space they can have multiple rehearsals before their performance 573 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,440 if they wanted to. If they only wanted to have one or two 574 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,440 days before, they could do that as well. 575 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,440 >> thank you. 576 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,440 >> all right, we can also hold that until further discussion, it does tie 577 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,400 into the next flight a little 578 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,440 bit which is , a project to introduce to 579 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,440 you guys before which is the third project. Which is service interface 580 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,440 three. 581 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:50,240 just to recap, the original need for the service interface three was to 582 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,440 bring them into the building including traffic management systems we discussed 583 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,440 before and provide and improve locker room spaces, increase 584 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,440 public spaces and on the flexible training space 585 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:07,440 , that includes one we would be losing from the remodel 586 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:13,440 , from the hangar. The original service center phase 3 design addressed all the needs 587 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,440 of public works the community expensive, they are currently housed in the facility and 588 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,440 included enterprise solutions training space that was shipped over. 589 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,440 because of this project a. We worked with park 590 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,440 hill architecture and came to schematic design and went out for 591 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,440 some construction level pricing with this. 592 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,400 we came back for a $12 million 593 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,840 all in , so by 594 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,440 all in I am speaking of architectural engineering, furniture, construction, 595 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,440 everything combined, not just the construction budget. This pricing was 596 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,640 also confirmed by the architecture company, definitely 597 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,440 due to the high costs we encountered we decided to see if we 598 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,440 just moved straight from the new building and remodeling the existing service 599 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,440 center to just doing a 600 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,440 remodel project without adding the new building, so the one on the left 601 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,640 is the schematic of the new building 602 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,520 which kind of box field service center versus the 603 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,520 new elevation on remodeling the existing. 604 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,520 we reworked and are calling it project b. This 605 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,520 would include the new front elevation and increasing 606 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,520 the locker room spaces , still adding a 607 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,520 public facing restroom but basically remodeling the existing facility so 608 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,520 that came out to 6.5 million. 609 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,520 that includes relocating a few people that are currently 610 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,520 inside this building to some of the outbuildings 611 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,520 versus project a where everybody is moving from the outbuildings 612 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,520 and some of the existing spaces to be ada compliant locker rooms 613 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,520 , so the people that are currently sitting in 614 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,720 their need to relocate to another area. 615 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,520 so we added some remodeling costs in there for the existing outbuilding 616 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,520 , kind of thing the background of the buildings 617 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,440 called project b. That is keeping the traffic 618 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,440 management system outside 619 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,440 of them outbuilding and relocating, closing in some of the existing beas and 620 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,440 conditioning the spaces. 621 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:26,440 so that also loses the training flexspace and kind of the capacity 622 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,400 for the forward facing residential interaction. 623 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,440 so, that was just basic trying to see pricing exercises, see how 624 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:44,440 we can make sure we can accommodate the needs and meet most 625 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:50,440 of them without alternating, so that is kind of where we are 626 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,440 at. I have a slide going through the pros and 627 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,440 cons of each one of those that we can look at. So, these are 628 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,440 kind of the comparables. We will discuss on project is higher cost 629 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:08,400 , includes the training room and public --it also has a public 630 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,440 engagement spaces. The locker room spaces increase there 631 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,440 for both the men and women's locker rooms and includes a public facing 632 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,640 restroom at the front of the building. 633 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,440 the son includes moving people inside to the new spaces and out 634 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:26,440 of the outbuildings, and then the constructibility is a little bit 635 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:31,440 harder on this building meaning we can build the new 636 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,440 building, relocate folks to the new building and work on the existing 637 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,440 building remodel. Then, 638 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,440 recruiting and retention aid, having a facility that 639 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,440 meets the needs of current and future staff, project a addresses 640 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:49,440 the needs and also includes that piece from the hangar 641 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,440 that relocates from enterprise solution. 642 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,840 and then the project 643 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,440 b is a lower cost, has a lack of training space and public 644 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,640 engagement space , the locker room space increases 645 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,440 for the women but really does not increase for the men's, but it keeps the 646 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,440 restroom front. People are moving from the existing building into the 647 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,640 outbuilding and as I discussed, requires consolidating 648 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,440 space to housing staff, there is a bit of an unknown cost associated with 649 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,440 relocating people during construction because this remodel would be construction while 650 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,840 working and so that 651 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:36,440 is going to require existing folks to either be worked around or relocate 652 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,440 during a remodel. So there is still a fa?ade upgrade from 653 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,440 a public perspective just to give it a better look to fit 654 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,240 in with life safety partner old towne. Project 655 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,440 b addresses the space needs and upgrades the work. It also upgrades 656 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:57,440 the working environment so I am just looking for some 657 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,320 direction on how you would like to proceed and take some 658 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,320 questions on that. 659 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,320 >> I remember 660 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,440 when you presented this to us before, you said that the women's 661 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:12,440 restrooms were insufficient in the you were talking about adding shower 662 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,760 facilities back then. Are both of those covered 663 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,760 with both of these? 664 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:20,560 >> yes. >> definitely both considered, since there really isn't 665 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,440 a women's locker room at all, with both scenarios, 666 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,440 the women's locker room is pretty much the exact same. It 667 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:36,640 is the men's the loses some spread for the less expensive version. 668 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,440 >> this is one we were originally estimating was 669 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,440 going to be about half of what it is coming in it? And that is just 670 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:48,440 due to escalating construction costs? 671 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,440 >> reporter: right. 672 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,440 that is based on the sticker shock of the pricing, we went back and 673 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,440 tried to see, was there a scenario where we can 674 00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,440 kind of sharpen our pencil or figure out if there are 675 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,400 spaces that work. That project b 676 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,440 gone to the whole chart and made sure everybody has got a seat, everybody has 677 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,440 their space, so it works as far as that goes. We are both at the same 678 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:21,440 level of drawing the schematics of drawings for both, the architect has gotten 679 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:22,440 to the point where we have started putting 680 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,440 furniture in places and things just to make sure they are both actually doable. 681 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,440 so it is just a function of seeing which 682 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:32,840 direction counsel would like to go on that project. 683 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,440 because it is a vast difference in the scope 684 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,640 and price , one is double the other. 685 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,440 >> I'm going to follow up on what the mayor asked, with respects to 686 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,440 the women facilities , locker room shared facilities and if 687 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,840 we go with b, 688 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,440 are we allowing for some growth in the number of female employees as well? 689 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,440 >> yes. 690 00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:01,440 >> okay, it will be the same quality facility as what the 691 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,440 men have when we are done? 692 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,440 >> right, correct. >> okay. 693 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,640 >> you would have to relocate in either 694 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:23,440 case, project leader and project b, right? 695 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,440 >> so, project a, the original plan was to build the newer facility 696 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:31,440 out front and then folks could move into that. Similar to what you do with 697 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,440 the school, they are in 698 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,440 the existing area. There might be a bit of relocation but I think it 699 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,440 can be accommodated with the mobile mini units kind 700 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:45,440 of things. I don't think it will be the large-scale 701 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,440 versus the project b where you have got 72 people 702 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,440 but now you need to go move their operations elsewhere. The 703 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,440 plan was to build the entire building, move in, 704 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,880 got to this building, and then move the rest of the folks back into that 705 00:45:58,880 --> 00:45:59,440 building. 706 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,840 >> I see. >> the building 707 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,440 letter a scenario, that is all about offices, training spaces, flex spaces. Even 708 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:11,240 the folks that would be displaced out of 709 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:18,240 flex spaces . In theory there is an opportunity 710 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,440 there to not even need to relocate those folks at all. 711 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,440 that is the only reason I wanted to note 712 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,440 that because on the project b side there are some unknowns on that cost 713 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,440 , scheduling and means and methods, but we are not quite there yet 714 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:38,440 but I just wanted to know would 715 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,440 be a cost probably associated with b that is not accounted for that number. 716 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,160 >> any other questions? 717 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:45,880 donald. 718 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,800 >> are we funding this with a bond? 719 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:57,840 >> you are going to have options. The funding mechanism 720 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,440 was something we were specifically going 721 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,240 to discuss in january. You can cash fund 722 00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:04,680 it. 723 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,880 >> just like we have the potential for 724 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,880 is in 24 with the bond payments beginning in 725 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:14,840 25, right? 726 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,840 >> right. 727 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,440 >> you still have rail to discuss and how much and what you 728 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,440 want to do there, so , you have options. 729 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,440 >> I thought that was the case, I just wanted to make sure. 730 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,440 I cannot remember if it was already planned to 731 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,440 be in a bond or what the plan was. 732 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,440 initially when it was a smaller amount. 733 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:43,240 >> yes, at the time, it is about 6 million. 734 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:50,440 >> for the new construction and the remodeling, but that is when 735 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,440 -- I mean, we slowed this down as soon 736 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,440 as he started getting the pricing because it was like, we just could 737 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:02,440 not believe the pricing was changing that fast on us. 738 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,360 right? Especially for a pretty basic building. It 739 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,440 is not overly complicated. 740 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,440 >> breanna. 741 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:20,440 >> I may have missed this but if we did project b with the plan 742 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,440 --would the plan b then to finish up what we did 743 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:28,440 not do as part of project a at a later time? And if so, 744 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,720 how much -- 745 00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:33,320 >> the answer is no. >> so it 746 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:38,440 is either a or b, it is either all in, so there isn't -- 747 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:44,440 >> the best way I can compare it is, some of you 748 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,440 were around , I think it was, like, there is a decision 749 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,440 made on the quarter in 2000, less than 10 years later 750 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:55,240 it was like, we need more. And so 751 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,440 . 752 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,440 >> that is my fear, right? If we don't to be --or 753 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:07,440 if we do b and we do not do a, then you're going to 754 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,840 come back in three years, five years, whatever that number is, and say we 755 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:10,680 need the other part done. 756 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,520 >> from a staffing perspective there's not going to 757 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:14,520 be a lot of growth in the staffing. 758 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,520 10 to 15 years. 759 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,520 really, we have done two or three phases on the exterior, 760 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,920 right? As far as 761 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,520 bays and construction and doing this kind of things. 762 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,520 I think there are still some needs but they 763 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:32,520 are nothing compared to what we are looking for as far as operations now. 764 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,920 >> right, okay. Thank you. 765 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,520 >> anything else? Marks? 766 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,520 >> you said the 6.5 million for project b, that included 767 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,520 redoing the front elevation just to make it 768 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,520 look nice , it didn't have anything to do with 769 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,520 accessibility or anything like that? 770 00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,920 >> no. Just the settings. 771 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:05,400 which the original -- the project a, the new building basically 772 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,360 hides the older building. 773 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,360 >> the beautification? 774 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,440 >> that is is not an option. The only thing 775 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:21,440 that we did 2b was take the front entry of letter 776 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,440 a and stick it on b so we still 777 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,440 had that public lobby, public restroom scenario, so the 778 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:33,440 only thing that would change on b if we did not update the elevation would 779 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,440 just be a little square entryway that is a little bit different. If you're 780 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,880 familiar with the building there is kind of a front covered area that is 781 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,160 basically where the covered area is. 782 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,440 >> what you would give up the public lobby 783 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,840 and the public restroom? 784 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,440 >> both projects have that, -- 785 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,760 >> but if you took off the 786 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:51,320 -- 787 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,840 >> elevation upgrade? >> and you lose those 788 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:54,600 components. 789 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:59,440 >> I'm sure we can add it, it might just look a 790 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,400 little weird. Having a new square. 791 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,840 it can be done. 792 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:12,440 >> the reason that we wanted the question of front is because when we 793 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:17,240 have people visiting that facility, they are going 794 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,440 into the locker room, right? 795 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:21,320 >> they're going into our facility. 796 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:22,000 >> walking through and around. 797 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,440 >> that is what we were trying to avoid. So 798 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,440 without the front facing on plan b we lose the public restroom? 799 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,440 >> correct. 800 00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,440 >> I think is a critical component, it is not 801 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,440 just the beautification, it affects the functionality, when 802 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:36,440 people are going back into the center. 803 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:41,840 >> in both projects, if we went with b and 804 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:48,440 kept the fa?ade, they have kind of the secure line, there is a public restroom 805 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,440 , but then there is a secure line so if somebody has a security 806 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,440 problem they can get back. 807 00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:03,240 so both scenarios have that kind of same front approach tied into it. 808 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,440 >> and clarify for me, because I'm not familiar 809 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:11,440 with the building, the outbuilding occupants , pro or con depending on 810 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:16,440 which one, can you sort of describe, our people actually outside 811 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,440 in the garage the day rather than an interior building? 812 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,440 >> correct, -- 813 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,440 >> we would be moving , with a we would be 814 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,240 trying to move more of those people into an actual building rather 815 00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:29,680 than -- 816 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,680 >> your correct. 817 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,440 there are some that are storage based routinely and some that have a hard 818 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,440 door on them. That is where traffic management is and some 819 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:46,440 other functions are back there and then our facility staff, it says 820 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,440 auction bar in it but it has people in there too. So the original plan 821 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:55,440 was to get some other supervisors in the building 822 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,440 and they are in the outbuilding, so that 823 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,440 disconnect and there are no restrooms and things out there so if they need to 824 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,440 go to the restroom, you know, they get around and go through 825 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,440 the building perks it is trying to get everybody into one building was 826 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,440 the goal of letter a and is much as we would like to get them 827 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,440 in there, there is just not space since they are actually 828 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,280 moving people into the outbuilding that are 829 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:16,440 currently not -- 830 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,160 >> actually would have people going out 831 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:18,440 . 832 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,440 >> reversing, yes. 833 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:26,240 >> we have money to upgrade the outbuilding spaces. 834 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:31,440 >> how about this? From a critical path and point, we are 835 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,440 asking for some direction but we have time. So 836 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:40,440 why don't we arrange, we will try to get a 837 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,440 group tour but if the group tour is not possible we will take 838 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,440 you on an individual tour to go out there so you all can actually see from 839 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:52,440 an operations standpoint, before you make this decision, what to your point 840 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,440 --to say they are in a garage is actually -- 841 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,400 that is making it sound nice. 842 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:06,840 >> I hate to say it is more expensive but 843 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:12,440 , I am not saying it is a recruiting tool that is a 844 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,440 take care of your people and your people take care of the city 845 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,440 typing, provide the facility that really is not just bolted on, just 846 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:21,840 sort of haphazard, even though it is going to 847 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,440 cost us a lot more than what we originally thought. So that 848 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,640 is what I was trying to clarify is that this is actually going to improve the 849 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:31,800 day-to-day work scenario for employees. 850 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,440 >> that 851 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,440 is why we step back, just because of pricing. 852 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,440 listening to you all this evening, I think having you all 853 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:46,440 go out, just tour the facility, it gives you an opportunity 854 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,440 , because it directly relates to our operations, right? In terms of how things 855 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,440 work and where things are, so that way you at least 856 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,440 are better informed. 857 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:02,440 after that is done, then we can bring that back into a work session item and 858 00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,440 just have you all --or just thumbs down, keep doing 859 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,440 what you are doing. In terms of the way that 860 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,440 that could work, right? Is that okay? 861 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,440 >> yes. Kevin. 862 00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,840 >> option a, obviously but 863 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:23,240 bring people inside, I am assuming that these 864 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,440 barrages you're speaking of, that is able to 865 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:31,440 be converted to more storage space , we increase our capacity for 866 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,440 outside storage kamara quitman storage, whatever that 867 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:42,440 is needed, then we have additional people , areas and offices and all that stuff on 868 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,440 the inside so overall experience that capacity. 869 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,440 >> correct. >> okay. 870 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,200 >> a step back is, let's go take a look 871 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:55,840 at it. 872 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,440 >> this is where they have the 873 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,440 public works mentions. 874 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,440 the corn hole tournaments and the hamburger fest 875 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,440 over there . 876 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,440 >> I have not been to those either. 877 00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:16,440 >> the main building is dated. There is no doubt 878 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:22,440 about that. I can't even imagine where the office , or where 879 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,440 the desk or whatever is out in the garage is because they are 880 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:32,440 pretty much open air. So, I would appreciate the tour myself. 881 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,440 >> I am fine with the tour and everything, I think this is one we 882 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:36,440 ought to go more with a. 883 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,440 this is a critical facility and will continue to be into the future but I 884 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,440 am fine also taking the tour.

The 925 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,520 current fitness facilities 926 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,520 are extremely space confined, it has a mass capacity of 927 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,520 two people at best in the room at a time, with the upcoming police fitness requirements and 928 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,520 allowance for fitness on shift is not allowable use 929 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,520 of the space is required. 930 00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,520 there is also a lack of ability to complete any 931 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,520 of the physical testing components required in 932 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,520 physical classroom training that is needed for the space in addition 933 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,520 , they also host public facing classes that 934 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,520 are physical , like the women safety and things like that, 935 00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,520 they do not have enough room for the training and the space 936 01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,680 . The current locker rooms are not ada 937 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,160 compliant for the men's or women's spaces. 938 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,160 in walkers 939 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,440 for women and men are inadequate for future needs especially on the women's side 940 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,440 of the locker rooms. There is a ventilation 941 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,440 issue in the locker rooms with the high humidity created from 942 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,440 the showers. 943 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:34,440 the materials are particleboard for the walkers, so they are not faring well 944 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,440 and seem to be falling apart. The project moves 945 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,440 forward, the demolition controls will be added as well 946 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,440 as materials for more of the locker environment. 947 01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:48,440 lockers currently contain a lot of sweaty and bulletproof vests 948 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,440 and they do not dry well and are creating 949 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,440 issues with people saying them out to dry. They are still wet from the last 950 01:00:55,440 --> 01:01:00,440 time they were used, so some other things we had worked out were 951 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,400 antibacterial cleaning cabinets pick some of 952 01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,440 the other municipalities have a standard thing. I will see in some of 953 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,440 the photographs where people just kind than 954 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:15,440 in their lockers in an attempt to dry things. 955 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:23,240 that is just containing a health problem for the officers. Lastly the current 956 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:24,440 break room only seats six people. 957 01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,440 there's typically at least double that in the break room 958 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:30,440 for meals, during breaks officers are turning conference rooms and other 959 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,440 spaces to accommodate their needs , so I will 960 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:39,400 just share some of the photographs that were shared with me. 961 01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:44,640 it is probably hard to tell but , 962 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:51,440 there are some more folks in the breaker --break room but if 963 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,440 you have been in there it is an extremely tight space, like if you 964 01:01:55,440 --> 01:02:00,840 are testing for pd, there is enough room for 965 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:05,440 one percent to go in there and test. If 966 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,440 you have a multiple person testing environment you basically have to take turns or, in 967 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,440 the break room. 968 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,440 so, typically the officers do not want 969 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:18,840 to eat out in 970 01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:22,440 public, a lot of times, just want to come in and he took their food 971 01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,440 and get rolling, there is a race for space and 972 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:30,840 just running into everybody's areas to switch and eat. 973 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:33,440 so here are some photographs of , it 974 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,440 is kind of hard to tell but you can see the 975 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:43,400 materials of that particleboard, the hinges on both of these are 976 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,440 hanging off and you can see somebody's clothes are attempted to 977 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:50,440 be dried by hanging halfway off the locker room. So here 978 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:54,440 is some more farther away photographs of people's 979 01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,440 things, you can see a lot of the vests and shoes and things 980 01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,440 where there is space in those drawers for shoes and space for the rest, 981 01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:04,240 that they are just hanging and the fact 982 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:08,440 that you can stand between the two lockers and reach across 983 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:14,440 and touch tells you it is not ada compliant, so I think 984 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,440 in pd there is a real need for that because there are 985 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,440 people injured on duty that to require assistance sometimes, even if 986 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:26,440 it is temporarily and they would be able to utilize the space. So, 987 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:30,440 the next steps would be going forward with this, based on your 988 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:34,640 feedback tonight, would just be to engage 989 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:40,840 with the architect , do landing and needs assessment and 990 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:46,440 manic design, set of drawings, that is where we are at with the projects 991 01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,440 as we go through and do the cost estimating.

Yes. 1104 01:10:35,440 --> 01:10:38,440 if these recommendations go into play, 1105 01:10:38,440 --> 01:10:44,440 and we are able to open up and have more inventory available 1106 01:10:44,440 --> 01:10:48,800 to the arts center to rent the space, then that is 1107 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:50,280 going to increase our revenues. 1108 01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,880 >> to have ideas of what we 1109 01:10:56,440 --> 01:10:59,440 are currently able to do to what this will allow you to do? 1110 01:10:59,440 --> 01:11:02,440 >> I do not have an exact percentage 1111 01:11:02,440 --> 01:11:08,440 for you because it really is going to depend on 1112 01:11:08,440 --> 01:11:11,440 how much the resident companies continue to book with us through the new booking policy. So 1113 01:11:11,440 --> 01:11:16,240 for instance, right now, the wilson theater is 1114 01:11:17,440 --> 01:11:20,440 being used 0% of the time for rentals or presented events. 1115 01:11:20,440 --> 01:11:23,440 if this recommendation moves forward, the wilson theater 1116 01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:26,440 will be available about 50% of 1117 01:11:29,440 --> 01:11:35,440 the time to the arts center to be either available 1118 01:11:35,440 --> 01:11:38,440 to put a presented event in order to rent out to a third party rental. And 1119 01:11:38,440 --> 01:11:41,440 that is just that space. 1120 01:11:41,440 --> 01:11:46,240 >> so, it could always be more, but is 1121 01:11:48,440 --> 01:11:54,440 this enough for you to go and do what you can do in 1122 01:11:54,440 --> 01:11:56,440 terms of [ inaudible ] 1123 01:11:58,440 --> 01:12:01,440 >> yes, this recommendation would allow us 1124 01:12:01,440 --> 01:12:06,840 to have increased revenues, increased rentals , in the sense 1125 01:12:07,440 --> 01:12:15,240 of, we are going to be able to have have expanded our staff 1126 01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:18,440 and our staff on board at the end of march, 1127 01:12:18,440 --> 01:12:20,440 we exceeded our revenue expectations in rentals because we 1128 01:12:20,440 --> 01:12:24,440 have the bandwidth to book more. So now, we have the inventory and the bandwidth, 1129 01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:28,440 we should actually be able to exceed 1130 01:12:28,440 --> 01:12:30,440 our budgeted expectations in revenue. 1131 01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:34,680 I would say, by maybe at least 30 more percent ? I am being 1132 01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,360 safe with that number. 1133 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,360 >> john? 1134 01:12:39,440 --> 01:12:43,400 >> so, as I thought through this 1135 01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:50,440 and figured out what is the important piece here, it really seemed 1136 01:12:50,440 --> 01:12:53,440 like the important piece is increasing inventory to sell the 1137 01:12:53,440 --> 01:12:56,440 arts center. We have this huge beautiful asset that we can sell 1138 01:12:56,440 --> 01:13:01,440 and increasing the availability of that to sell as we go is 1139 01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:05,440 the crucial thing. So, dovetailing on that, we 1140 01:13:05,440 --> 01:13:09,640 talked about the hangar, renovating the hangar. 1141 01:13:12,440 --> 01:13:18,440 this process of getting the resident companies a place to rehearse 1142 01:13:18,440 --> 01:13:20,440 that is close to the arts center and therefore 1143 01:13:20,440 --> 01:13:22,440 freeing up the availability in the arts 1144 01:13:22,440 --> 01:13:24,440 center. I am in favor of this plan. 1145 01:13:24,440 --> 01:13:29,440 the one question I do have on this is 1146 01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:32,440 part of this plan, if you go to page 22, if you go back, 1147 01:13:32,440 --> 01:13:35,440 it breaks down how we get to 1 million bucks. Resident company 1148 01:13:35,440 --> 01:13:39,440 fees, that is my only concern that I am willing to 1149 01:13:39,440 --> 01:13:42,440 have some discussion about. It is $30,000 a year 1150 01:13:42,440 --> 01:13:47,240 out of this . I'm not as concerned about 1151 01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:50,440 whether or not we get an additional $30,000 out of the resident companies to get to 1152 01:13:50,440 --> 01:13:54,440 the million dollars as I am increasing inventory. Does that make sense? 1153 01:13:54,440 --> 01:13:58,400 if we can find a way 1154 01:14:00,440 --> 01:14:03,440 to take care of this, or make up this $30,000 or fund the resident 1155 01:14:03,440 --> 01:14:05,840 companies, whatever it is 1156 01:14:12,440 --> 01:14:15,440 , if that gives us additional inventory, that is what I am more concerned about getting 1157 01:14:15,440 --> 01:14:17,160 because that is where we increase all these other line items 1158 01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:17,960 is by increasing inventory. 1159 01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,960 >> good point, and 1160 01:14:20,440 --> 01:14:24,440 keep in mind that you can do whatever you want to do. This was based 1161 01:14:24,440 --> 01:14:27,440 on the -- breath a suggestion based on what is 1162 01:14:27,440 --> 01:14:31,400 common with other performing arts centers. 1163 01:14:33,440 --> 01:14:38,840 >> we built this beautiful arts center and taken on 1164 01:14:40,440 --> 01:14:42,440 --this is different than the old fire station that was converted to an 1165 01:14:42,440 --> 01:14:46,440 arts center practices a big deal. And it 1166 01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:47,440 is an evolving deal. 1167 01:14:47,440 --> 01:14:50,440 whatever we decide tonight or this year is not the way 1168 01:14:50,440 --> 01:14:55,440 it will continue to be. We hope this continues to be an evolution 1169 01:14:55,440 --> 01:14:59,400 of arts in coppell. I don't 1170 01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:02,440 know what that will look like in five years but I think this is a 1171 01:15:02,440 --> 01:15:05,440 great next step of continuing to raise the bar and increasing revenue. We 1172 01:15:05,440 --> 01:15:10,440 are not going to get back to 0 on the arts center and we knew 1173 01:15:10,440 --> 01:15:12,440 us on the path of getting to sustainability 1174 01:15:12,440 --> 01:15:16,640 for this and hopefully increasing the resident 1175 01:15:19,440 --> 01:15:25,440 companies exposures. I am in favor of the plan as laid out 1176 01:15:25,440 --> 01:15:29,440 and certainly open to this resident feed. How do 1177 01:15:29,440 --> 01:15:33,440 we take care of the resident company fee schedule? 1178 01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:39,440 quite frankly I would sort of think if we do increase the fees , they 1179 01:15:39,440 --> 01:15:42,440 will be coming to us for additional funding 1180 01:15:42,440 --> 01:15:49,400 from the city, my guess is, how it would have been. 1181 01:15:49,440 --> 01:15:50,440 I am not as concerned about the $30,000 as we need 1182 01:15:50,440 --> 01:15:52,440 the availability in the arts center to sell. 1183 01:15:52,440 --> 01:15:54,440 >> kevin. 1184 01:15:55,440 --> 01:15:59,640 >> around that time I spoke free earlier, 1185 01:16:01,440 --> 01:16:04,440 I am kind of a ditto. That was very well said. 1186 01:16:04,440 --> 01:16:07,440 >> you got mine earlier, so. 1187 01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:09,840 >> I just purpose of 1188 01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:16,440 , and the presentation, trying to get the 1189 01:16:16,440 --> 01:16:22,440 resident companies to pitch in, and I have zero interest in that whatsoever. 1190 01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:24,440 it is great if they are able to increase the 1191 01:16:24,440 --> 01:16:28,440 revenues that point but I feel like we would squash them out 1192 01:16:28,440 --> 01:16:31,440 of existence to try to come up with that kind of 1193 01:16:31,440 --> 01:16:33,440 contribution so I am definitely interested in that. 1194 01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:34,440 >> jim. 1195 01:16:34,440 --> 01:16:36,840 >> to me , this combined 1196 01:16:40,440 --> 01:16:44,640 with the building is really more about 1197 01:16:45,440 --> 01:16:49,440 making sure the arts center is more a performance center and not 1198 01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:55,440 , you know, predominately a rehearsal or set construction center. And 1199 01:16:55,440 --> 01:16:58,440 the more, I think certainly I have been surprised, and I 1200 01:16:58,440 --> 01:17:02,440 lot of folks have been working for us have 1201 01:17:02,440 --> 01:17:05,440 been surprised with the demand for rentals and what we are asking for 1202 01:17:05,440 --> 01:17:08,440 rentals is not inexpensive. It is an expensive place 1203 01:17:08,440 --> 01:17:13,440 to have an event. And yet the demand has been tremendous 1204 01:17:13,440 --> 01:17:17,440 , I think that is a real testament to a 1205 01:17:17,440 --> 01:17:21,640 facility . To me, when we had $1 million 1206 01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:27,440 , or when we had $970,000 , I don't think it will really make 1207 01:17:27,440 --> 01:17:30,440 a big difference. The thing to me about it is 1208 01:17:30,440 --> 01:17:33,440 it is a resident arts company. These residents will be paying taxes 1209 01:17:33,440 --> 01:17:38,440 so they are paying all the same fees we are. To support the 1210 01:17:38,440 --> 01:17:43,840 arts center. So, because they are resident arts companies, 1211 01:17:44,440 --> 01:17:47,440 there composed of people in our community that want to express themselves in 1212 01:17:47,440 --> 01:17:51,440 some artistic fashion whether it is through their voice or playing the 1213 01:17:51,440 --> 01:17:56,440 chamber orchestra or whatever, so, that tends to contribute 1214 01:17:56,440 --> 01:17:59,440 for the folks that want to go watch them and be entertained by that, it tends 1215 01:17:59,440 --> 01:18:01,440 to contribute to 1216 01:18:03,440 --> 01:18:08,440 our quality of life in town which is exactly what the arts center was all 1217 01:18:08,440 --> 01:18:11,440 about. So, I am not as concerned about the resident 1218 01:18:11,440 --> 01:18:14,440 companies, they have had some other challenges, when 1219 01:18:14,440 --> 01:18:18,440 we first started doing this , I mean, 1220 01:18:18,440 --> 01:18:21,440 you know, janine requires they have an annual calendar for events and 1221 01:18:21,440 --> 01:18:25,640 they had to experience some growth, in 1222 01:18:27,440 --> 01:18:30,440 this organization to even get to that point. This is been 1223 01:18:30,440 --> 01:18:32,440 a big learning experience for all of them. I am more interested in freeing 1224 01:18:32,440 --> 01:18:34,440 up the space 1225 01:18:38,440 --> 01:18:40,440 to make it more of a performance-based, an event rental 1226 01:18:40,440 --> 01:18:42,440 space, maximize the revenue we are bringing into the space, 1227 01:18:42,440 --> 01:18:46,440 particularly as we make another space available for the rehearsals 1228 01:18:46,440 --> 01:18:50,440 and the set construction, that sort of thing. 1229 01:18:50,440 --> 01:18:56,440 I definitely want to support this , you've already invested so 1230 01:18:56,440 --> 01:18:59,440 much in it and so many people derive so much joy 1231 01:18:59,440 --> 01:19:04,240 from it, we also porting resident arts companies 1232 01:19:05,440 --> 01:19:08,440 at the same time for $30,000 is of less interest 1233 01:19:08,440 --> 01:19:11,520 to me than the , you know, one to $300,000 that we 1234 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,520 could pay from increasing the usage of the facilities and 1235 01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,520 performance center and event rental. 1236 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,520 >> anybody have any comments, questions?

A question, you had mentioned 1294 01:24:10,440 --> 01:24:13,440 the space availability will increase 50%. What about the 1295 01:24:13,440 --> 01:24:15,440 main theater? 1296 01:24:15,440 --> 01:24:21,440 >> the main hall theater would increase mainly during weekdays because 1297 01:24:22,440 --> 01:24:28,440 if you see on the chart that you have, it is the rehearsal time for the 1298 01:24:28,440 --> 01:24:34,440 resident companies to corral and the orchestra that take away days. Those 1299 01:24:34,440 --> 01:24:37,440 are the days we are trying to fill with 1300 01:24:37,440 --> 01:24:40,440 corporate rentals like we have moving in tomorrow for the next four days 1301 01:24:40,440 --> 01:24:43,440 in that space. I cannot give you a 100% estimate on how much we can go 1302 01:24:43,440 --> 01:24:46,440 in there because the weekend usage of 1303 01:24:46,440 --> 01:24:49,440 the resident companies will primarily stay the same as long as 1304 01:24:49,440 --> 01:24:52,440 they keep programming their seasons the same 1305 01:24:52,440 --> 01:24:58,440 way that they do. It is giving us more weekday space 1306 01:24:58,440 --> 01:25:01,960 , in the main hall or the reception hall if they use that 1307 01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:03,200 as rehearsal space. 1308 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:08,600 >> weekdays, you made it is not going to be 1309 01:25:10,440 --> 01:25:12,440 and sunday, it will be weekdays, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday? 1310 01:25:12,440 --> 01:25:14,440 >> it will be most weekdays unless the resident 1311 01:25:14,440 --> 01:25:17,440 companies change how they program or how many shows they 1312 01:25:17,440 --> 01:25:20,440 produce each season but on track for the past two years, they 1313 01:25:20,440 --> 01:25:23,440 have been producing the same amount of 1314 01:25:23,440 --> 01:25:29,440 shows, so I am expecting they will continue to do that method moving forward. 1315 01:25:29,440 --> 01:25:32,440 >> okay, so the weekend availability 1316 01:25:35,440 --> 01:25:37,440 will not increase much? 1317 01:25:37,440 --> 01:25:40,440 >> not much, maybe a little bit here or there. Let's say 1318 01:25:40,440 --> 01:25:43,440 one year the corral did it shows and then last year they did 1319 01:25:43,440 --> 01:25:46,440 11 shows. So there's a bit of flexibility in that and also with 1320 01:25:46,440 --> 01:25:51,840 how many shows we present , last season we presented 1321 01:25:52,440 --> 01:25:56,400 13 titles, this upcoming season representing 19 titles. 1322 01:25:56,440 --> 01:26:00,640 >> if we follow this recommendation, the availability 1323 01:26:05,440 --> 01:26:06,440 will increase the theater, right? 1324 01:26:06,440 --> 01:26:10,440 >> majority of the availability will open in 1325 01:26:10,440 --> 01:26:12,760 openings in the main hall, majority of that opening will 1326 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:13,960 be primarily during the week. 1327 01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:15,960 >> I also agree 1328 01:26:17,440 --> 01:26:20,440 that we need to increase the available hour so we need to create 1329 01:26:20,440 --> 01:26:23,440 more mentally of people in the main area. That is 1330 01:26:23,440 --> 01:26:27,400 the revenue , we can look for 1331 01:26:28,440 --> 01:26:30,440 the available streams. I know we have three theaters there. The 1332 01:26:30,440 --> 01:26:34,440 other is not completely three different spaces? 1333 01:26:34,440 --> 01:26:37,440 >> the third main spaces the reception 1334 01:26:37,440 --> 01:26:40,440 hall which is a multipurpose space. 1335 01:26:40,440 --> 01:26:44,440 occasionally the resident companies will use that 1336 01:26:44,440 --> 01:26:48,400 reversals or workshops or summer camps 1337 01:26:50,440 --> 01:26:53,440 , there space in those areas are smaller compared to 1338 01:26:53,440 --> 01:26:58,240 the space in the actual theater performance spaces. 1339 01:27:02,440 --> 01:27:07,840 >> are you proposing any changes to the camp days 1340 01:27:08,440 --> 01:27:10,840 that the corral have? 1341 01:27:12,440 --> 01:27:16,640 >> the proposal for operations is, each group 1342 01:27:18,440 --> 01:27:23,840 could reserve up to six bucks a year for 1343 01:27:24,440 --> 01:27:27,440 shows and they can block up to three weeks for camps and camps would 1344 01:27:27,440 --> 01:27:30,440 be considered monday through friday. Which is more than 1345 01:27:30,440 --> 01:27:34,640 any of the groups have done previously. 1346 01:27:40,440 --> 01:27:43,440 >> it looks like they were doing a week or something like that. 1347 01:27:43,440 --> 01:27:45,440 >> could you talk about how far out right now you're having to book the 1348 01:27:45,440 --> 01:27:46,440 shows? 1349 01:27:46,440 --> 01:27:51,440 >> yes, so I am already currently in talks and negotiations with agence 1350 01:27:51,440 --> 01:27:55,640 to start booking that 24/2025 season.

That 1359 01:28:25,440 --> 01:28:29,440 is where I start conversations with the resident companies. 1360 01:28:29,440 --> 01:28:32,440 resident companies, for their submittal of 1361 01:28:32,440 --> 01:28:36,400 dates actually starts on october 1st. 1362 01:28:38,440 --> 01:28:42,440 they will submit their dates for 2024 to 2025 between october 1363 01:28:42,440 --> 01:28:44,440 1st and december 31st. 1364 01:28:44,440 --> 01:28:48,440 then my staff compiles it onto our calendar, we identify conflicts 1365 01:28:48,440 --> 01:28:51,440 if one resident company group asks for a show 1366 01:28:51,440 --> 01:28:54,440 on the same day, we resolve those conflicts and then we also work 1367 01:28:54,440 --> 01:28:58,440 with the conflicts of the presenting shows. At the same 1368 01:28:58,440 --> 01:29:03,440 time as that spins, we have private rental inquiries 1369 01:29:03,440 --> 01:29:06,440 coming in because people like to book a year in 1370 01:29:06,440 --> 01:29:09,520 advance.

It 1383 01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:00,520 is not for every single service that a third party rental would pay either. They 1384 01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:03,520 have a specialist of basic services that they pay. So 1385 01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:08,320 if they need more than four microphones, they 1386 01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:12,120 pay about six dollars per microphone. 1387 01:30:12,440 --> 01:30:18,440 the only fees they are currently incurring from the arts center 1388 01:30:18,440 --> 01:30:21,440 and if they need extra labor to run their 1389 01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:24,440 shows.

We have 1445 01:33:27,440 --> 01:33:32,440 had I think about three or four stage readings come through and that is 1446 01:33:32,440 --> 01:33:35,440 something else that we can open up and do, that is 1447 01:33:35,440 --> 01:33:38,440 just another type of contract we set when you are working with 1448 01:33:38,440 --> 01:33:40,440 a promoter. 1449 01:33:44,440 --> 01:33:46,440 >> any other questions? 1450 01:33:49,440 --> 01:33:56,440 >> so, when we are looking at this, altogether, we are looking at 1451 01:33:56,440 --> 01:34:01,440 --in the million dollars upfront for the renovation of the hangar , plus 1452 01:34:01,440 --> 01:34:06,240 yearly maintenance and operations , to then potentially make 1453 01:34:08,440 --> 01:34:10,840 x amount each year , 1454 01:34:14,440 --> 01:34:20,440 in perpetuity, right?

But we are trying to free up a 1466 01:35:11,440 --> 01:35:13,440 little more space. 1467 01:35:19,440 --> 01:35:21,440 >> so, don? >> I will just say one thing, and this 1468 01:35:21,440 --> 01:35:24,440 once again is more philosophical, but to your point, it may be a 1469 01:35:24,440 --> 01:35:28,440 zero-sum game by the time you renovate this and maintain this and all that 1470 01:35:28,440 --> 01:35:33,440 but I just feel like you are really utilizing what I would 1471 01:35:33,440 --> 01:35:39,440 say is a gem of a lot of our facilities, 1472 01:35:39,440 --> 01:35:42,440 to the best of what it can be, or we don't 1473 01:35:42,440 --> 01:35:45,440 even know what it could be for sure.

So you 1476 01:35:51,440 --> 01:35:52,440 are right. 1477 01:35:52,440 --> 01:35:56,440 it may be we are switching off one pocket into another as far as 1478 01:35:56,440 --> 01:36:03,400 cost goes but you are really highlighting what I think was 1479 01:36:03,440 --> 01:36:07,440 envisioned for this thing, even he worked for years to 1480 01:36:07,440 --> 01:36:10,440 get an arts center or a performing arts center or something here, and now 1481 01:36:10,440 --> 01:36:15,440 we have this great building to utilize, so we should be 1482 01:36:15,440 --> 01:36:20,440 able to --we should raise all votes by utilizing this as best 1483 01:36:20,440 --> 01:36:23,160 as he can and generating as much revenue as 1484 01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:23,760 we can. 1485 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:29,160 >> kevin? >> I just want to also point out that 1486 01:36:29,440 --> 01:36:33,440 janine and her team, what they have done with 1487 01:36:33,440 --> 01:36:39,440 the current inventory they have, they have already exceeded revenue 1488 01:36:39,440 --> 01:36:41,440 projections by a pretty decent amount from what I 1489 01:36:41,440 --> 01:36:45,440 understand from last report. Opening that up even more, we are just giving her 1490 01:36:45,440 --> 01:36:49,640 fuel for the fire, if you will. 1491 01:36:51,440 --> 01:36:54,440 as you stated, we don't need to know 1492 01:36:54,440 --> 01:36:57,440 what the thing can do. 1493 01:36:57,440 --> 01:37:00,440 to me it just reinforces when she asks for additional staff, 1494 01:37:00,440 --> 01:37:04,400 go see what it can do, 1495 01:37:06,440 --> 01:37:08,440 that is all we are doing is continuing that mantra 1496 01:37:08,440 --> 01:37:12,440 of, let's go see what this thing can do. 1497 01:37:12,440 --> 01:37:15,440 the success we have seen from the availability there 1498 01:37:15,440 --> 01:37:18,440 is now, what new heights are able to reach 1499 01:37:18,440 --> 01:37:24,440 from that? That is what I am very excited about and 1500 01:37:24,440 --> 01:37:27,440 I don't want to put our resident companies in the cold, I want to give them a facility 1501 01:37:27,440 --> 01:37:32,440 that is respectful of them, they are, as you point out, 1502 01:37:32,440 --> 01:37:35,440 they are taxpayers, citizens, they are our neighbors. They 1503 01:37:35,440 --> 01:37:42,440 deserve the opportunity to have a nice space to rehearse in but also understanding 1504 01:37:42,440 --> 01:37:45,440 they are a part of a larger picture of what we are trying 1505 01:37:45,440 --> 01:37:49,640 to build. I look forward to it. 1506 01:37:51,440 --> 01:37:56,240 >> go ahead. >> I was going to say that 1507 01:37:56,440 --> 01:38:00,440 if we give them the space they need, if we have the space at our center, 1508 01:38:00,440 --> 01:38:03,440 in the long run it 1509 01:38:06,440 --> 01:38:11,440 will make more, because we have more spaces throughout, 1510 01:38:11,440 --> 01:38:15,440 revenue. I think we talked about the cost that 1511 01:38:15,440 --> 01:38:19,960 the place we are going to renovate is 1512 01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:22,360 --the maintenance is nominal? 1513 01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:24,200 >> it is a normal 1514 01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:24,640 cost. 1515 01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:29,440 >> red, the initial cost will be there but in the long run we 1516 01:38:29,440 --> 01:38:33,400 already would have used those spaces. 1517 01:38:33,440 --> 01:38:36,440 that will give better return. 1518 01:38:39,440 --> 01:38:42,440 >> so I think I want to make sure, do we have a consensus 1519 01:38:42,440 --> 01:38:45,440 on the philosophical plan on the arts center to free up the 1520 01:38:45,440 --> 01:38:47,440 space? 1521 01:38:48,440 --> 01:38:51,440 okay. So, on the --go ahead. 1522 01:38:51,440 --> 01:38:53,440 >> oh, to free up the space. Go ahead. 1523 01:38:53,440 --> 01:38:56,440 >> on the fire admin building, 1524 01:38:57,440 --> 01:39:00,440 are we good on that one? The two kind of go hand 1525 01:39:00,440 --> 01:39:02,440 in hand. 1526 01:39:02,440 --> 01:39:03,440 >> this is the hangar? >> the hangar, yes. 1527 01:39:03,440 --> 01:39:05,440 >> [ laughter ] 1528 01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:15,520 >> the only other one we were debating, it was a $30,000. 1529 01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:19,520 so, let's come to a decision on that one. 1530 01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:23,120 we can call the discussion good. 1531 01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:31,520 >> I will say, I am flexible on a lot of things, I know what kevin stated 1532 01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,520 in some of the others have stated about not 1533 01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:36,520 wanting to worry about the $30,000 for resident companies. I do like 1534 01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:39,520 the idea that it builds in some level of 1535 01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:43,520 discipline into scheduling and it is raising all 1536 01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:46,520 boats, everybody becomes a little more professional 1537 01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:48,520 in the process in the scheduling, I do like that aspect of 1538 01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:51,520 it knowing that we may still fund it. 1539 01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:55,520 they would have to come up with the funding source to 1540 01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:57,520 make that happen. 1541 01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:01,520 I like the concept of them having to 1542 01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:02,520 have a little more skin in the game from 1543 01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:07,520 a scheduling standpoint knowing the funding has got to come probably 1544 01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,440 from us in the long term but I am flexible to this one. 1545 01:40:10,440 --> 01:40:12,440 >> mark. 1546 01:40:13,440 --> 01:40:15,440 >> you know, 1547 01:40:17,440 --> 01:40:21,440 I don't think they should have to pay anything. I think they have enough commitment 1548 01:40:21,440 --> 01:40:25,440 to their craft and to janine because if they do 1549 01:40:25,440 --> 01:40:29,440 not get their requests and their schedules 1550 01:40:29,440 --> 01:40:33,440 at the end, and all their dates set, then they are out of luck. So 1551 01:40:33,440 --> 01:40:37,440 they have already got skin in the game. 1552 01:40:37,440 --> 01:40:40,440 the question is, you don't get it done, you are 1553 01:40:40,440 --> 01:40:43,440 left out in the cold. The $30,000 we potentially generate, I don't 1554 01:40:43,440 --> 01:40:48,840 think we need to pass onto the resident companies. 1555 01:40:49,440 --> 01:40:52,440 >> yeah. I am with mark. 1556 01:40:52,440 --> 01:40:54,440 >> okay. 1557 01:40:55,440 --> 01:40:57,440 >> go ahead. 1558 01:40:58,440 --> 01:41:00,440 >> you sure? >> okay. 1559 01:41:01,440 --> 01:41:03,440 >> if you 1560 01:41:08,440 --> 01:41:13,440 like because they are the residents, a big part of the reason we built this place was 1561 01:41:13,440 --> 01:41:17,640 to further the arts to coppell. I 1562 01:41:19,440 --> 01:41:22,440 think the discipline and scheduling, they found out , now we 1563 01:41:22,440 --> 01:41:28,440 have got to have the entire annual calendar of events, not all 1564 01:41:28,440 --> 01:41:31,440 of them were used to doing that and so if 1565 01:41:31,440 --> 01:41:34,440 they do not get booked then they do not have that event, so I think 1566 01:41:34,440 --> 01:41:37,440 that build enough discipline and scheduling 1567 01:41:37,440 --> 01:41:41,640 like that into it . I also think 1568 01:41:43,440 --> 01:41:49,440 it is a little silly that we can charge them 1569 01:41:51,440 --> 01:41:54,440 $50,000 in fees and the next year they come back and say now we 1570 01:41:54,440 --> 01:41:55,440 have added $50,000 to our grant request for 1571 01:41:55,440 --> 01:41:59,440 >> we need 55,000. >> I don't really care to go through that kind 1572 01:41:59,440 --> 01:42:03,640 of theater. So, I would rather just 1573 01:42:05,440 --> 01:42:06,440 accept that the resident arts companies, 1574 01:42:06,440 --> 01:42:10,440 the music facility recognizing this hangar is going 1575 01:42:10,440 --> 01:42:16,440 to accomplish what I thought was part of the purpose of enhancing the staff at 1576 01:42:16,440 --> 01:42:20,440 the arts center which was a recent decision and really kind of freeing 1577 01:42:20,440 --> 01:42:24,640 it up to go ahead and, sometimes 1578 01:42:26,440 --> 01:42:29,440 janine will get a call for an event, we are going 1579 01:42:29,440 --> 01:42:32,440 to be performing in dallas, would you want to have us pop up there? If 1580 01:42:32,440 --> 01:42:35,440 it is already booked for rehearsals, you know, then we 1581 01:42:35,440 --> 01:42:40,240 lose that income generating opportunity, yes, but we 1582 01:42:40,440 --> 01:42:43,440 also lose the opportunity to bring a show in 1583 01:42:43,440 --> 01:42:47,440 that folks in town would want to go see. 1584 01:42:47,440 --> 01:42:50,440 no one is going to go see the rehearsals, that is not a performance opportunity 1585 01:42:50,440 --> 01:42:52,440 or entertainment opportunity for the 1586 01:42:52,440 --> 01:42:54,440 citizens of them are paying shows that 1587 01:42:54,440 --> 01:42:58,440 we can bring in, even some that are on short notice, I think the 1588 01:42:58,440 --> 01:43:01,440 better off we all are. I am in favor of doing the 1589 01:43:01,440 --> 01:43:04,440 hangar to accommodate maximizing the usage of 1590 01:43:04,440 --> 01:43:11,440 the arts center and I don't really see the fees for the resident 1591 01:43:11,440 --> 01:43:14,440 arts companies is having much of a significance in any of that. 1592 01:43:14,440 --> 01:43:16,440 >> a, mike. 1593 01:43:23,440 --> 01:43:25,440 >> a, john. 1594 01:43:26,440 --> 01:43:30,640 >> similar yet different, yet , we charge our 1595 01:43:34,440 --> 01:43:35,440 sports associations to use our fields, right? 1596 01:43:35,440 --> 01:43:38,440 >> jessica, you want to talk about the relationship 1597 01:43:38,440 --> 01:43:40,840 between the sports associations? 1598 01:43:43,440 --> 01:43:45,440 >> I'm trying to figure out, don't get 1599 01:43:45,440 --> 01:43:47,440 me wrong, I hear what you're saying, here what everybody is saying.

But I think 1621 01:45:05,440 --> 01:45:11,440 right now , we have got this facility, you are having 1622 01:45:11,440 --> 01:45:15,440 to work with scheduling, we want to 1623 01:45:15,440 --> 01:45:20,440 encourage the arts in our community, I understand resident companies are 1624 01:45:20,440 --> 01:45:23,440 5013c so funding is an issue, or not an issue but it 1625 01:45:23,440 --> 01:45:29,440 could be an obstacle so looking at that but being mindful of 1626 01:45:29,440 --> 01:45:32,440 , we may need to tweak at some point along the way. 1627 01:45:32,440 --> 01:45:35,560 >> just a reminder, this has been a tweak 1628 01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,640 from the day we got started. 1629 01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:39,000 >> I know, and we continue to 1630 01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:39,440 tweak. 1631 01:45:39,440 --> 01:45:44,440 >> you know, we are going to get better as a result of that. 1632 01:45:44,440 --> 01:45:48,640 >> absolutely. >> done? >> what is the norm in 1633 01:45:49,440 --> 01:45:54,440 the market, what is the market for resident companies? Do they pay 1634 01:45:54,440 --> 01:45:56,160 some subsidized amount? 1635 01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:56,960 50%, 5%? 1636 01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:02,360 >> talking with brett, and knowing the center and everything, 1637 01:46:06,440 --> 01:46:12,440 what we propose, the 5%, was even lower than anything brett had ever 1638 01:46:12,440 --> 01:46:15,440 off the table. The norm is a resident companies pay something 1639 01:46:15,440 --> 01:46:17,840 to have stake in 1640 01:46:20,440 --> 01:46:24,440 the game, by in, but also responsibility in , I have booked these days a year in 1641 01:46:24,440 --> 01:46:27,440 advance and I am going to pay for them and if I council on 1642 01:46:27,440 --> 01:46:31,440 you , then I still have to pay for them because if 1643 01:46:31,440 --> 01:46:35,440 I council on you and then I have to buy a show and put it 1644 01:46:35,440 --> 01:46:40,840 around that, and they council four months in advance, 1645 01:46:42,440 --> 01:46:45,440 I could put that show on a prime day, and there is 1646 01:46:45,440 --> 01:46:48,440 no repercussion, so that is why , typically there is some kind of 1647 01:46:48,440 --> 01:46:52,440 nominal charge, not a charge that would ever endanger 1648 01:46:52,440 --> 01:46:57,440 the organization to go bankrupt. But something that helps hold 1649 01:46:57,440 --> 01:47:00,440 them accountable more than they are worth. 1650 01:47:00,440 --> 01:47:03,440 >> and that is my concern. 1651 01:47:03,440 --> 01:47:05,840 >> the market is, there 1652 01:47:12,440 --> 01:47:14,440 a hill up and down, to your point this is a process, it is not 1653 01:47:14,440 --> 01:47:20,440 an event. This whole arts in coppell is an evolving thing. 1654 01:47:20,440 --> 01:47:27,400 but I think you already have your four votes for whatever 1655 01:47:29,440 --> 01:47:30,840 , not charging the resident companies anything but I 1656 01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:31,560 do think it is a good idea. 1657 01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:34,440 >> john? >> I just want to clarify, 1658 01:47:34,440 --> 01:47:36,440 the $30,000, the 5% you're talking about, it could be more, right? If 1659 01:47:36,440 --> 01:47:39,800 they caught requested additional things 1660 01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:39,920 they need? 1661 01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:42,400 >> it could be more or less. It would all be dependent 1662 01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:42,720 upon their use. 1663 01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:45,120 >> is there a cap? 1664 01:47:45,440 --> 01:47:48,440 >> I will give you a cap, is theater channel and, 1665 01:47:48,440 --> 01:47:52,640 if they booked six shows, 29 days for 1666 01:47:54,440 --> 01:47:57,440 each show, that puts them at $16,400 a year 1667 01:47:57,440 --> 01:48:01,400 that they have to pay us. 1668 01:48:04,440 --> 01:48:08,440 if an other group uses the main hall for six 1669 01:48:08,440 --> 01:48:13,440 shows a year and he is a maximum of eight days, 1670 01:48:13,440 --> 01:48:15,840 it is $5700 a year. 1671 01:48:16,440 --> 01:48:20,440 so, that is with the new blocking set. It 1672 01:48:20,440 --> 01:48:25,560 could be less because if they do enough they are not paying 1673 01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:26,640 for eight. 1674 01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:28,440 >>! 1675 01:48:28,440 --> 01:48:30,440 >> a, mike. 1676 01:48:31,440 --> 01:48:35,440 2 just for a point of clarification, earlier, while 1677 01:48:35,440 --> 01:48:37,440 you are having this discussion, we hear what you're saying but janine did 1678 01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:41,640 mention that this is 5% of the market 1679 01:48:43,440 --> 01:48:49,440 along those lines. What they are paying for now, I want to make sure 1680 01:48:49,440 --> 01:48:51,440 , excuse me for saying this to the resident companies, we are 1681 01:48:51,440 --> 01:48:53,440 not writing a blank check. They are still going to 1682 01:48:53,440 --> 01:48:57,440 pay for the additional whatever above and beyond or whatever the basic is, 1683 01:48:57,440 --> 01:49:01,440 I just want to make sure it is set. 1684 01:49:01,440 --> 01:49:04,440 >> sure. >> I do not want us walking out of here with any misunderstanding, no, 1685 01:49:04,440 --> 01:49:10,440 the council said we are not going to pay anything. 1686 01:49:12,520 --> 01:49:16,720 >> the extra microphone will be switched out. 1687 01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:26,120 >> I thought you meant in frequency which is how janine answered. 1688 01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:30,520 >> even with frequency, right? If they ask 1689 01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:32,640 for more could it be more than what they are actually doing 1690 01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:33,120 right now? 1691 01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:37,320 >> it is all dependent on usage and 1692 01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:40,520 what type of show. So if they do a show where they want two operators, a soundboard 1693 01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:44,720 operator, a video operator, a curtain operator, 1694 01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:48,520 that will be an expensive show because you have to pay for all 1695 01:49:48,520 --> 01:49:52,520 that extra labor unless they have volunteers that can run certain positions. 1696 01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:55,520 >> is there a cap? >> the cap is, it is 5% for space on 1697 01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:58,520 all the space rentals and then for the equipment 1698 01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:02,120 that they use , is 10% of the 1699 01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:07,520 market rate. It will make everything 5% of the market 1700 01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:11,440 rate to make it easy but there isn't a cap, 1701 01:50:11,440 --> 01:50:14,440 it is about how much they use. 1702 01:50:14,440 --> 01:50:17,440 that is a traditional, normal way. You walk into a menu and they 1703 01:50:17,440 --> 01:50:20,440 are going to charge you for tape on the floor and they are going to 1704 01:50:20,440 --> 01:50:23,440 charge you for an extension cord. We don't do those charges 1705 01:50:23,440 --> 01:50:26,440 with the resident companies because it is not thoughtful and 1706 01:50:26,440 --> 01:50:30,400 it's not meaningful to have them 1707 01:50:30,440 --> 01:50:35,440 incur those costs. Once they go over four microphones, yes they pay for 1708 01:50:35,440 --> 01:50:37,440 a microphone. 1709 01:50:38,440 --> 01:50:42,640 >> mayor? >> can we have a cancellation problem? 1710 01:50:45,440 --> 01:50:50,240 >> we have had one resident company that counseled, 1711 01:50:50,440 --> 01:50:53,440 we have had issues where we have had to move a 1712 01:50:53,440 --> 01:50:55,440 lot of things. 1713 01:50:58,440 --> 01:51:00,440 we have more issues than they have been better about getting 1714 01:51:00,440 --> 01:51:05,440 information to us so we can get it published online in time so 1715 01:51:05,440 --> 01:51:08,440 that we can try to sell the most tickets we can further companies and it 1716 01:51:08,440 --> 01:51:13,240 is a learning has improved on that, we 1717 01:51:13,440 --> 01:51:18,440 are not 100% there yet but it is still on our 1718 01:51:18,440 --> 01:51:20,440 side, as a center we are working to make it better and it seems like the 1719 01:51:20,440 --> 01:51:24,720 resident companies are working to make it better 1720 01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:25,720 as well. 1721 01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:28,720 >> I believe you said earlier, 1722 01:51:32,440 --> 01:51:34,440 this is an evolving relationship, just because 1723 01:51:34,440 --> 01:51:37,440 we say something today does not mean we can't 1724 01:51:37,440 --> 01:51:39,440 be at the table here in a year. Seeing if we need to continue 1725 01:51:39,440 --> 01:51:44,440 to evolve that relationship.

We are going to be 1897 02:12:30,440 --> 02:12:34,640 talking about oncor, major causes for outages 1898 02:12:42,440 --> 02:12:46,440 , 2023 coppell outages. Next steps, oncor weather preparedness, and how to connect with 1899 02:12:46,440 --> 02:12:52,440 oncor. So, who is oncor? Here is a quick overview. 1900 02:12:58,440 --> 02:13:00,440 you can kind of see the market structure. One thing to know, we are 1901 02:13:00,440 --> 02:13:01,440 the largest regulated transmission and distribution utility company that 1902 02:13:01,440 --> 02:13:04,440 operates in texas. We are 1903 02:13:05,440 --> 02:13:10,440 regulated by the public utility commission of texas and we provide the transmission 1904 02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:12,440 and distribution services. We own the polls and the 1905 02:13:12,440 --> 02:13:16,440 wires that deliver electricity to your homes and 1906 02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:19,440 we do not own or generate, produce, or sell any electricity. 1907 02:13:19,440 --> 02:13:22,440 that is not our market, we just deliver the power 1908 02:13:22,440 --> 02:13:23,440 to you. The illustration on the right just 1909 02:13:23,440 --> 02:13:27,440 give you a snapshot about how the market is set up. 1910 02:13:27,440 --> 02:13:30,640 the competitive side of the generators. 1911 02:13:30,640 --> 02:13:36,640 the regulated side which is the competitive market, I'm sorry 1912 02:13:40,440 --> 02:13:42,440 the regulated market. Is the transmission and distribution which 1913 02:13:42,440 --> 02:13:46,440 is oncor. And also, we have the competitive market which are the retail 1914 02:13:46,440 --> 02:13:48,440 electricity providers. 1915 02:13:49,440 --> 02:13:52,440 where we serve , again another 1916 02:13:54,440 --> 02:14:00,440 snapshot of oncor. We service over 13 million customers here in 1917 02:14:00,440 --> 02:14:04,440 texas. We are in over 98 counties and more than 400 communities like 1918 02:14:04,440 --> 02:14:06,440 coppell . 1919 02:14:07,440 --> 02:14:11,400 we have over 141,000 miles advanced meters 1920 02:14:13,440 --> 02:14:16,440 . Over 4500 employees across the state. 1921 02:14:18,440 --> 02:14:22,440 so, how does oncor support growth in the lone star 1922 02:14:22,440 --> 02:14:29,440 state. I know a few of us have the chance to attend 1923 02:14:29,440 --> 02:14:31,440 the luncheon, he said something that blew my mind, texas is the eighth 1924 02:14:31,440 --> 02:14:34,440 largest economy in the world. That really sees the 1925 02:14:34,440 --> 02:14:39,440 growth that we have seen in north texas. That 1926 02:14:39,440 --> 02:14:42,440 is one thing we have made a commitment to. Really submitting 1927 02:14:42,440 --> 02:14:48,440 --committing to the support of the state. We have invested 1928 02:14:49,440 --> 02:14:53,640 billions of dollars to help upgrade and 1929 02:14:54,440 --> 02:14:59,440 operate a safer and smarter more reliable electrical grid. 1930 02:14:59,440 --> 02:15:01,440 also, oncor has 1931 02:15:03,440 --> 02:15:06,440 a plan that is committed to investing 19 million over the next 1932 02:15:06,440 --> 02:15:11,440 five years. And the capital expenditures are expected to be used in advance 1933 02:15:11,440 --> 02:15:15,400 and --investment in transmission and distribution. 1934 02:15:22,440 --> 02:15:29,400 there are many external factors that cause outages. The major causes 1935 02:15:29,440 --> 02:15:32,440 as you can see, trees, lightning and wildlife. You would really be 1936 02:15:32,440 --> 02:15:35,440 amazed at how much wildlife really plays a part in outages. 1937 02:15:35,440 --> 02:15:38,440 when it comes to down 1938 02:15:40,440 --> 02:15:46,440 lamps that fall on our lines, also we have lightning 1939 02:15:47,440 --> 02:15:53,440 high winds and thunderstorms, we are going to feel that because 1940 02:15:53,440 --> 02:15:56,440 it is going to blow those lines and blow the vegetation 1941 02:15:56,440 --> 02:15:58,840 and cause a fall. 1942 02:16:02,440 --> 02:16:04,440 also you will see up here, wildlife. You will be 1943 02:16:04,440 --> 02:16:07,440 amazed at how much wildlife plays a part. Squirrels, sometimes they 1944 02:16:07,440 --> 02:16:12,440 will start chewing the lines, we deal with snakes and other 1945 02:16:12,440 --> 02:16:17,840 different types of rodents were trying to seek shelter. 1946 02:16:21,440 --> 02:16:27,440 as I said in the previous slide, trees and vegetation 1947 02:16:29,440 --> 02:16:31,440 are one of the major causes for power outages. 1948 02:16:31,440 --> 02:16:33,440 this illustration finally gives you an idea of 1949 02:16:33,440 --> 02:16:39,440 how it can really impact a delivery to your home. 1950 02:16:40,440 --> 02:16:42,440 one tree can cause an electrical fault that can 1951 02:16:42,440 --> 02:16:44,440 interrupt an entire circuit from the substation. That of course interrupts 1952 02:16:44,440 --> 02:16:46,440 the power to your homes, schools, traffic signals, 1953 02:16:46,440 --> 02:16:49,440 whatever it may be. I really feel like this illustration shows 1954 02:16:49,440 --> 02:16:50,440 you how the power is fed to your homes. 1955 02:16:50,440 --> 02:16:55,240 all right, now we are down to the 1956 02:16:56,440 --> 02:16:59,440 important parts. Coppell overview. I really 1957 02:16:59,440 --> 02:17:02,440 want to provide just a coppell distribution overview. You can see here that we 1958 02:17:02,440 --> 02:17:05,440 actually serve 18,845 customers in coppell . 1959 02:17:11,440 --> 02:17:14,440 coppell is fed by 16 feeders. The total miles are 299.69 1960 02:17:14,440 --> 02:17:16,440 miles of mines. 1961 02:17:16,440 --> 02:17:20,440 there are 52.28 miles of overhead lines and there are 1962 02:17:20,440 --> 02:17:22,840 37.59 underground miles of lines. 1963 02:17:23,440 --> 02:17:26,440 a majority of these feeders do have 1964 02:17:26,440 --> 02:17:28,840 automated devices on it. 1965 02:17:29,440 --> 02:17:33,440 let's just say, if you are an automated switch, we do have we have the 1966 02:17:33,440 --> 02:17:38,240 east distribution operating center in irving. We have 1967 02:17:38,440 --> 02:17:41,440 the capability to really look at these outages. 1968 02:17:41,440 --> 02:17:44,440 if there is a way that they can use the automated 1969 02:17:44,440 --> 02:17:47,440 devices that are on these feeders to switch over some 1970 02:17:47,440 --> 02:17:51,640 of that load from a feeder outage, 1971 02:17:53,440 --> 02:17:56,440 you may have 3000 people on one feeder but that they are able to switch 1972 02:17:56,440 --> 02:17:58,440 that over and isolate the particular problem, it 1973 02:17:58,440 --> 02:18:01,440 may just end up impacting 50 people compared to the 3000. We have those 1974 02:18:01,440 --> 02:18:06,440 capabilities. It is something that we really utilize a lot. 1975 02:18:06,440 --> 02:18:10,440 just a point to touch on. I know that we had 1976 02:18:10,440 --> 02:18:15,440 spoke on this before, there was a question about 1977 02:18:15,440 --> 02:18:20,240 couples reliability there are a few numb bowls 1978 02:18:24,440 --> 02:18:26,440 --numbers out. 1979 02:18:27,440 --> 02:18:31,400 there is a system outage interruption 1980 02:18:33,440 --> 02:18:38,240 index. The average , it really lines up at 1981 02:18:39,440 --> 02:18:45,440 51.63. Even coppell is below our average and all of the surrounding 1982 02:18:45,440 --> 02:18:51,440 area just to bring a little context to it. It is over 1983 02:18:51,440 --> 02:18:56,440 one hour and 50 minutes. We are looking better, of course we are 1984 02:18:56,440 --> 02:19:00,440 still growing and still working. Let's go 1985 02:19:00,440 --> 02:19:02,840 to this next one. 1986 02:19:03,440 --> 02:19:06,440 so, we are still in the overview. I wanted 1987 02:19:06,440 --> 02:19:09,440 to give a little clarity. 1988 02:19:11,520 --> 02:19:14,520 with these outages they have impacted a large 1989 02:19:14,520 --> 02:19:18,520 number of residents. I want to bring clarity to 1990 02:19:18,520 --> 02:19:20,520 some of these outages. 1991 02:19:20,520 --> 02:19:24,520 I really want to make sure that it is understood that these are 1992 02:19:24,520 --> 02:19:27,520 not all related. They are really all isolated incidents that 1993 02:19:27,520 --> 02:19:29,520 have occurred. 1994 02:19:30,520 --> 02:19:36,520 I will go through each one. Feel free to ask me any questions. 1995 02:19:36,520 --> 02:19:37,520 but even when we start in january, there 1996 02:19:37,520 --> 02:19:44,120 was a transformer replacement. Of course you can imagine external factors 1997 02:19:47,520 --> 02:19:48,520 play a part with our equipment. When you have cold weather, hot weather, 1998 02:19:48,520 --> 02:19:51,520 anything external he can play a part. We had 1999 02:19:51,520 --> 02:19:55,520 to replace that. In march, we had failed equipment which was a failed insulator. 2000 02:19:55,520 --> 02:20:00,520 that provides insulation between overhead lines and cross arms. In june we 2001 02:20:00,520 --> 02:20:02,520 had vegetation . 2002 02:20:08,520 --> 02:20:12,440 that caused an extended outage. All extended outages which is why I have 2003 02:20:12,440 --> 02:20:15,440 been giving reasons for it. 2004 02:20:17,440 --> 02:20:20,440 in july we actually had a car hit a pole. We did have another 2005 02:20:20,440 --> 02:20:24,440 car hit a pole, that first one did not impact as many people 2006 02:20:24,440 --> 02:20:27,440 , we were able to do a lot of switching, but the second one it hit two poles 2007 02:20:27,440 --> 02:20:30,440 and it was about a 12 hour restoration time. 2008 02:20:30,440 --> 02:20:35,840 a lot of residents were very upset and impacted 2009 02:20:36,440 --> 02:20:38,440 by that. 2010 02:20:39,440 --> 02:20:42,440 that takes multiple crews to come out and 2011 02:20:42,440 --> 02:20:44,840 really make the repairs. 2012 02:20:45,440 --> 02:20:48,440 in august, we had a transformer replacement. 2013 02:20:48,440 --> 02:20:51,440 we have to continue to remember that in july 2014 02:20:51,440 --> 02:20:54,440 and august we had record high temperatures that we had never really 2015 02:20:54,440 --> 02:20:56,440 seen before. 2016 02:20:58,440 --> 02:21:01,440 you can imagine the strain that that will cause on anyone's system. 2017 02:21:01,440 --> 02:21:07,440 and the next day we had a splice in a pole box 2018 02:21:07,440 --> 02:21:12,240 . You have to get in and repair that. 2019 02:21:12,440 --> 02:21:15,440 I think it caused a lot of heartburn with some of our residents, the july 2020 02:21:15,440 --> 02:21:19,440 and august, when the car hit the pole, it 2021 02:21:19,440 --> 02:21:24,440 affected the same feeder. Some of those customers were impacted 2022 02:21:24,440 --> 02:21:27,440 twice. I can understand going to a 12 2023 02:21:27,440 --> 02:21:31,440 hour outage of the pole replacement and then having 2024 02:21:31,440 --> 02:21:34,440 this other one happen with 2025 02:21:34,440 --> 02:21:37,440 the transformer replacement. Just to bring a little bit of clarity when 2026 02:21:37,440 --> 02:21:39,440 we are talking about even just the transformer replacement, 2027 02:21:39,440 --> 02:21:43,440 some questions have come up with the estimated time 2028 02:21:43,440 --> 02:21:45,440 of restoration. 2029 02:21:46,440 --> 02:21:49,440 if you sign up for my oncor alerts, you will get a notification 2030 02:21:49,440 --> 02:21:52,440 that says hey, your lights should be on at this time. I have heard complaints 2031 02:21:52,440 --> 02:21:53,440 and great things about this. 2032 02:21:53,440 --> 02:21:54,440 sometimes it is one of those things. 2033 02:21:54,440 --> 02:21:58,440 just to give clarity about how we do it, 2034 02:21:58,440 --> 02:22:04,440 there is a system generated that is produced as well as a time 2035 02:22:04,440 --> 02:22:07,440 and really our system is looking at, okay, I believe it is this type 2036 02:22:07,440 --> 02:22:12,240 of problem. I believe that it get someone 2037 02:22:12,440 --> 02:22:15,440 out there. He tries to troubleshoot it if you can, 2038 02:22:15,440 --> 02:22:18,440 if he sees that he can get the work done within two hours, he won't 2039 02:22:18,440 --> 02:22:21,440 update the time. If he sees that he cannot and it is going to 2040 02:22:21,440 --> 02:22:25,440 be maybe even four hours, he is going to input that 2041 02:22:25,440 --> 02:22:27,440 time into the system. 2042 02:22:27,440 --> 02:22:31,440 sometimes they are correcting a false and then another 2043 02:22:31,440 --> 02:22:34,440 thing faults. So that means they go back and they update 2044 02:22:34,440 --> 02:22:35,440 that line and then you see your extended time 2045 02:22:35,440 --> 02:22:40,440 pushed out even more. Unfortunately we are kind of dealing with it 2046 02:22:40,440 --> 02:22:43,440 and dealing with the issue of, you want to keep it updated but it 2047 02:22:43,440 --> 02:22:46,440 can be very frustrating when you are getting 2048 02:22:46,440 --> 02:22:49,440 multiple times. I want to give a little bit of information about 2049 02:22:49,440 --> 02:22:55,440 what is going on when they are updating that time, 2050 02:22:57,440 --> 02:23:00,440 they are not just pushing it out. There is somebody out on 2051 02:23:00,440 --> 02:23:01,440 site trying to make the repairs. There saying, I cannot get this done in 2052 02:23:01,440 --> 02:23:04,440 two hours. Or we are needing two more 2053 02:23:04,440 --> 02:23:07,440 crews that are coming. And then another crew to come replace the downed power 2054 02:23:07,440 --> 02:23:10,440 bowls. There are multiple factors that 2055 02:23:10,440 --> 02:23:14,400 and why you keep seeing those. 2056 02:23:19,440 --> 02:23:24,840 okay, so you have heard some of the causes 2057 02:23:25,440 --> 02:23:27,440 and all of the information, but you are 2058 02:23:27,440 --> 02:23:31,440 still asking, what are your next steps? 2059 02:23:31,440 --> 02:23:33,440 the great thing is that we had an opportunity to 2060 02:23:33,440 --> 02:23:40,440 sit down with my operations manager who is over at our service center 2061 02:23:40,440 --> 02:23:42,440 who really manages this entire area and 2062 02:23:42,440 --> 02:23:43,440 he plan on being here tonight but unfortunately we had some storms come through. I 2063 02:23:43,440 --> 02:23:46,440 think about our southern region, dallas 2064 02:23:46,440 --> 02:23:50,440 people have multiple outages so we have 2065 02:23:50,440 --> 02:23:53,440 been working in storms . I did not want to ask him to come here . 2066 02:23:53,440 --> 02:23:57,440 he is very aware and he is really looking into 2067 02:23:57,440 --> 02:24:01,440 what we can do proactively to address any concerns. 2068 02:24:01,440 --> 02:24:05,440 we do have 12 feeders that are actually scheduled for 2069 02:24:05,440 --> 02:24:08,440 vegetation maintenance trim work at the end of 2070 02:24:08,440 --> 02:24:14,440 this year and 2024, that is when you will see our 2071 02:24:14,440 --> 02:24:16,440 crews out there. I know a lot of residents don't really 2072 02:24:16,440 --> 02:24:23,400 care for it. This is another way that we can continue . 2073 02:24:23,440 --> 02:24:26,440 we are controlling feeders such as balancing load 2074 02:24:26,440 --> 02:24:27,440 on feeders. 2075 02:24:27,440 --> 02:24:29,840 and identifying additional opportunities. 2076 02:24:31,440 --> 02:24:34,440 we are completing equipment maintenance. 2077 02:24:35,440 --> 02:24:39,640 that may even include proactive change outs. 2078 02:24:44,440 --> 02:24:48,440 on corporations have identified two areas of opportunities to 2079 02:24:48,440 --> 02:24:52,440 focus on and we will utilize some of the above 2080 02:24:52,440 --> 02:24:56,440 a steps. We really want to kind of look at 2081 02:24:56,440 --> 02:24:59,440 that and see if there are opportunities to make any corrections. This is going 2082 02:24:59,440 --> 02:25:05,440 to impact the neighborhoods surrounding river terrace golf club and 2083 02:25:05,440 --> 02:25:08,440 andrew brown park east. These are currently 2084 02:25:08,440 --> 02:25:10,440 under review. 2085 02:25:11,440 --> 02:25:13,440 we are slowly moving through different 2086 02:25:13,440 --> 02:25:15,440 areas that we have identified. I at least want to let 2087 02:25:15,440 --> 02:25:18,440 you know going forward that we do have a plan and that we are reviewing 2088 02:25:18,440 --> 02:25:25,640 and seeing if there any opportunities that we can do for maintenance. 2089 02:25:28,440 --> 02:25:32,440 so, as we approach the fall and winter months, after record 2090 02:25:32,440 --> 02:25:35,440 high summer heat, they plan and anticipate a variety 2091 02:25:35,440 --> 02:25:40,840 of potential season impacts the summer and winter preparations 2092 02:25:41,440 --> 02:25:45,640 before the hot and cold seasons arrive. 2093 02:25:47,440 --> 02:25:50,440 main feeder lines undergo thorough inspections to ensure that they are 2094 02:25:50,440 --> 02:25:55,240 ready for high demand and cooler temperatures. They 2095 02:25:56,440 --> 02:25:59,440 are utilizing forecasting contingency plans 2096 02:26:05,440 --> 02:26:07,440 , they 2097 02:26:11,440 --> 02:26:13,440 material inventory resources. 2098 02:26:20,440 --> 02:26:24,640 we submit annual winter weather readiness reports. 2099 02:26:26,440 --> 02:26:30,400 we are in compliance with the 2011 2100 02:26:31,440 --> 02:26:38,440 recommendations. We work with the city and the review process, after the 2101 02:26:38,440 --> 02:26:41,440 winter storm , they prioritize strengthening communication 2102 02:26:41,440 --> 02:26:44,440 channels with additional customer tools. 2103 02:26:53,440 --> 02:26:56,440 as I stated, oncor has focused on strengthening 2104 02:26:56,440 --> 02:26:57,440 our communication channels with our municipalities and 2105 02:26:57,440 --> 02:27:01,440 customers.

We had a couple more outages that we preferred. 2234 02:36:36,440 --> 02:36:39,440 that is why it is a focal point. 2235 02:36:39,440 --> 02:36:42,440 let's see if we can find out if we need to change anything 2236 02:36:42,440 --> 02:36:45,440 out. We will need to focus on all feeders at that time. 2237 02:36:45,440 --> 02:36:48,200 that is why the operation manager wants to 2238 02:36:48,200 --> 02:36:49,400 do that's. 2239 02:36:49,400 --> 02:36:51,400 >> that is helpful. 2240 02:36:53,440 --> 02:36:59,440 this maybe putting you on the spot a little bit. 2241 02:36:59,440 --> 02:37:02,440 are there things that from a city council standpoint that we could be focusing 2242 02:37:02,440 --> 02:37:05,440 on or looking into to improve the grid here ?

The other part is what we 2247 02:37:24,440 --> 02:37:30,440 plan to do as far as the vegetation maintenance. Management 2248 02:37:30,440 --> 02:37:33,440 coming in for the next two years, that can really make a big difference 2249 02:37:33,440 --> 02:37:35,440 when you really get out there and clear 2250 02:37:35,440 --> 02:37:38,440 those lines.

Is there some sort 2355 02:45:43,440 --> 02:45:46,440 of structured preventative maintenance program where 2356 02:45:46,440 --> 02:45:52,440 you have text go out and say , I'm just going to hypothetically 2357 02:45:52,440 --> 02:45:54,440 say, maybe there is a grid system where 2358 02:45:54,440 --> 02:45:57,440 we are going to go grid up the map and make 2359 02:45:57,440 --> 02:45:59,440 sure that everything is in place and maybe 2360 02:45:59,440 --> 02:46:05,440 we replace something at this transformer is reaching average end-of-life. We are 2361 02:46:05,440 --> 02:46:12,400 going to go ahead and preventively go ahead and replace that, 2362 02:46:12,440 --> 02:46:15,440 what that preventative maintenance schedule 2363 02:46:15,440 --> 02:46:19,440 looks like and I know the question was asked by 2364 02:46:19,440 --> 02:46:25,440 councilmember carol. I've got to ask it again . I understand 2365 02:46:25,440 --> 02:46:32,640 that the oncor is exclusive , how can we work together more closely 2366 02:46:34,440 --> 02:46:37,440 to try to assist, if there are more financial 2367 02:46:37,440 --> 02:46:40,440 resources provided, could there be more 2368 02:46:40,440 --> 02:46:41,440 preventative maintenance. 2369 02:46:41,440 --> 02:46:43,440 just kind of curious about that, what does that look like? 2370 02:46:43,440 --> 02:46:46,440 >> that is a fair question. 2371 02:46:48,440 --> 02:46:52,440 if we were able to address every single area that we 2372 02:46:52,440 --> 02:46:57,440 saw, okay, proactively changing that out, we would. There is 2373 02:46:57,440 --> 02:47:01,440 one thing, we are regulated by the puc. 2374 02:47:01,440 --> 02:47:06,440 a lot of times when we are going out and answering an outage 2375 02:47:06,440 --> 02:47:10,440 , then we are trying to go ahead and correct that problem right then 2376 02:47:10,440 --> 02:47:15,840 can never tell when a transformer is going to 2377 02:47:16,440 --> 02:47:17,440 be out. 2378 02:47:17,440 --> 02:47:22,440 there may be some transformers that are 30 years old and still working 2379 02:47:22,440 --> 02:47:25,440 just fine. To change the amount just because the timeline 2380 02:47:25,440 --> 02:47:27,440 because of how long they have been there probably wouldn't 2381 02:47:27,440 --> 02:47:30,440 be the most efficient. If the data that we are getting 2382 02:47:30,440 --> 02:47:34,440 from that, then of course we will proactively --that preparedness plan. 2383 02:47:34,440 --> 02:47:37,440 we will look at those and see a couple of issues with that. I will have to 2384 02:47:37,440 --> 02:47:40,440 look and see as far as further detail if there 2385 02:47:40,440 --> 02:47:43,440 is any type of plan in place of proactive 2386 02:47:43,440 --> 02:47:45,840 change outs, I really 2387 02:47:49,440 --> 02:47:51,560 want to get a little bit more clarity on that. I don't 2388 02:47:51,560 --> 02:47:52,320 want to misspeak. 2389 02:47:52,320 --> 02:47:56,440 >> I had one more follow-up question. In the report of 2390 02:47:56,440 --> 02:48:00,640 the specific outages, there were several incidents 2391 02:48:02,440 --> 02:48:05,440 were a couple incidents that were like, automobiles 2392 02:48:05,440 --> 02:48:09,640 the striking polls and, there were vegetation 2393 02:48:11,440 --> 02:48:16,440 and all of that seems to indicate that having 2394 02:48:16,440 --> 02:48:20,440 suspended wires on poles, that could maybe 2395 02:48:20,440 --> 02:48:25,440 be prevented or mitigated if the power lines were underground 2396 02:48:25,440 --> 02:48:29,440 . Could you speak a little bit about advantages and 2397 02:48:29,440 --> 02:48:32,440 disadvantages of lines on poles versus burying lines, 2398 02:48:32,440 --> 02:48:37,440 I don't know if you could speak to that are not? 2399 02:48:37,440 --> 02:48:40,440 >> I do know that of course underground it is always 2400 02:48:40,440 --> 02:48:44,440 the best looking of course and of course people 2401 02:48:44,440 --> 02:48:46,440 kind of prefer that. 2402 02:48:46,440 --> 02:48:47,440 it may still have its own challenges. 2403 02:48:47,440 --> 02:48:50,440 it doesn't mean that you are going to have 100% reliability. 2404 02:48:50,440 --> 02:48:52,840 I think the pros 2405 02:48:55,440 --> 02:48:59,440 of overhead like I spoke before is that you are able to 2406 02:48:59,440 --> 02:49:01,440 identify that issue. 2407 02:49:01,440 --> 02:49:04,440 the amount of time that it takes for restoration, it is simple. 2408 02:49:04,440 --> 02:49:05,440 you're able to put your eyes on it. 2409 02:49:05,440 --> 02:49:08,440 when you go underground, you have those challenges 2410 02:49:08,440 --> 02:49:11,520 of seeing where that fault is. 2411 02:49:11,520 --> 02:49:14,520 somebody make it out on site and then we have to bring out 2412 02:49:14,520 --> 02:49:17,520 another machine to thump the ground. 2413 02:49:17,520 --> 02:49:20,520 that can also add a little bit more to your restoration time. I really don't 2414 02:49:20,520 --> 02:49:23,520 want to take a position on which one is best because 2415 02:49:23,520 --> 02:49:26,520 it does not mean that if you underground it is going 2416 02:49:26,520 --> 02:49:30,120 to automatically solve any reliability issues. 2417 02:49:32,520 --> 02:49:35,520 that is just a miss concept. When you are looking at underground, 2418 02:49:35,520 --> 02:49:37,520 you have other external factors of being in 2419 02:49:37,520 --> 02:49:39,520 the ground, the heat, if someone hits one of our lines when they're doing 2420 02:49:39,520 --> 02:49:47,320 work on another project, there are other factors that can play into it. 2421 02:49:47,520 --> 02:49:50,520 >> one final thing is, it is not just poles and wires that 2422 02:49:50,520 --> 02:49:55,920 are above ground, we have the transformer boxes above 2423 02:49:56,520 --> 02:49:59,520 so, one of those is struck by an automobile, that would obviously 2424 02:49:59,520 --> 02:50:04,920 take out the power in that area as well. 2425 02:50:05,520 --> 02:50:07,520 >> all of those even if you do go underground you are 2426 02:50:07,520 --> 02:50:10,440 going to have to have switchgear that is going to come up. 2427 02:50:10,440 --> 02:50:14,440 there is going to have to be one point of service above ground that is 2428 02:50:14,440 --> 02:50:16,440 still exposed. 2429 02:50:17,440 --> 02:50:20,440 sometimes everything may be underground but that one point may 2430 02:50:20,440 --> 02:50:23,440 be impacted by a squirrel or a tree limb or whatever it may be, there 2431 02:50:23,440 --> 02:50:27,400 is still a risk of exposure. 2432 02:50:32,440 --> 02:50:33,440 >> these are some of the things that I have heard in 2433 02:50:33,440 --> 02:50:35,680 conversations with citizens. Thank you so much I really appreciate you 2434 02:50:35,680 --> 02:50:36,320 speaking with that. 2435 02:50:36,320 --> 02:50:38,440 >> does anybody have any other questions? 2436 02:50:38,440 --> 02:50:41,440 >> is there any plans to 2437 02:50:44,440 --> 02:50:47,440 change the lights to l.e.d.s? 2438 02:50:47,440 --> 02:50:50,440 >> we actually do have a program in place where cities can 2439 02:50:50,440 --> 02:50:54,640 actively transition over to l.e.d. 2440 02:50:58,440 --> 02:51:03,440 once one fails, they signed that agreement then they can slowly start to have those 2441 02:51:03,440 --> 02:51:06,440 replaced as l.e.d.s. It just really depends on 2442 02:51:06,440 --> 02:51:07,440 the city's stance on how they want to approach it. 2443 02:51:07,440 --> 02:51:09,440 >> but not ? 2444 02:51:12,440 --> 02:51:16,640 >> no sir. Eventually the market is going 2445 02:51:18,440 --> 02:51:21,440 to that.'s and that is the only option you are going to have. 2446 02:51:21,440 --> 02:51:24,440 we started doing that maybe five years ago, preparing everyone 2447 02:51:24,440 --> 02:51:30,440 that suppliers are going to stop with the halogen lights 2448 02:51:30,440 --> 02:51:33,440 . They are going to start going to the l.e.d.s. That is pretty much 2449 02:51:33,440 --> 02:51:36,440 going to be our reality. 2450 02:51:38,440 --> 02:51:40,440 >> thank you very much for coming, we do have a little 2451 02:51:40,440 --> 02:51:45,440 future plan to have you back with your operations manager 2452 02:51:45,440 --> 02:51:48,440 .

It is nothing that you need to worry about anytime soon. It will 2461 02:52:21,440 --> 02:52:27,440 probably be next year before we can have a tuesday we can schedule. 2462 02:52:27,440 --> 02:52:30,440 >> one quick thing, I know we have received.
