1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:07:05,420


2
00:07:05,420 --> 00:07:09,460
Ninth, 2026.

3
00:07:09,460 --> 00:07:11,760
Do we have anybody signed
up for public comments.

4
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,700
No, sir.

5
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:13,320
All right.

6
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,440
Information discussion.

7
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,440
Let's start with two.

8
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,980
A baseball firm.

9
00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:19,500
And who's going to
present for your group.

10
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:21,980
Jay, are you going to introduce.

11
00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:23,680
I'm just going to
introduce these guys.

12
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Please do.

13
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,780
I didn't bring my tap
dancing shoes tonight.

14
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:30,420
I don't think Nico did
either, to be fair.

15
00:07:30,420 --> 00:07:32,180
Got sandals on, but
we're going to make

16
00:07:32,180 --> 00:07:34,940
him tap dance regardless.

17
00:07:34,940 --> 00:07:37,020
I just want to sing the
praises of these guys

18
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:39,220
real quick before
I introduce them.

19
00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:43,020
It was shortly after
the flood last year

20
00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:46,660
that we started
talking with the group

21
00:07:46,660 --> 00:07:51,100
who managed the Sports Complex
prior, and it was just negative.

22
00:07:51,100 --> 00:07:52,540
This negative that negative.

23
00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:54,860
The other don't want
to badmouth them.

24
00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:56,980
It's a tough business as
these guys can attest.

25
00:07:56,980 --> 00:07:59,240
However, we know
what we have here

26
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,980
and we're happy to have
these guys on board.

27
00:08:01,980 --> 00:08:07,080
They're overperforming and
we want to see that continue.

28
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,560
But I've been told by John
junker, the tall guy sitting

29
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,720
in the middle here, that
his two captains are

30
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,300
going to be presenting tonight.

31
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:16,720
So we have Nico Gonzalez
and Jeff Quinlan

32
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,960
who are going to
come up and tell

33
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,120
us a little bit about how it's
going out at the Sports Complex.

34
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,720
You can tell these guys
have been outside all day.

35
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,040
There you go.

36
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,920
Who's first.

37
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,260
Jeff oh, Ichiro.

38
00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:31,060
Leadoff thank you guys
for having us tonight.

39
00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:35,600
We're really excited to
present to you all and show you

40
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,600
what we've been
able to accomplish

41
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,039
through the first
half of the year

42
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,280
and just give you an overall
view of what we're kind

43
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,159
of expecting through
the summer and then

44
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:45,620
the fall into next year.

45
00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:48,240
So this picture was
taken one morning at one

46
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,160
of the first tournaments.

47
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,180
And obviously you can see
it's just a beautiful picture

48
00:08:51,180 --> 00:08:55,180
and it's one that we use
on our Facebook and stuff

49
00:08:55,180 --> 00:08:58,240
like that to show what Kerrville
really has to represent.

50
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,380
So where's the slide thing.

51
00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:04,100
Oh, here we go.

52
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:06,500
So the Kerrville Sports
Complex, obviously

53
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:07,680
it's under new leadership.

54
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,860
We're the baseball firm.

55
00:09:09,860 --> 00:09:11,540
I am not originally
from Kerrville

56
00:09:11,540 --> 00:09:14,340
but have been coming to this
complex for a long time.

57
00:09:14,340 --> 00:09:18,280
And since 2018 ish, 19 ish since
I saw it for the first time,

58
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,180
I knew that this was one of
the best sports complexes

59
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:23,820
that I'd seen traveling
around the country.

60
00:09:23,820 --> 00:09:27,560
And so when the opportunity
came up to be a part of this,

61
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:29,240
it was a no brainer for me.

62
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,860
From the community to the
fields to the families

63
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:35,860
and the outside communities
that love to come here,

64
00:09:35,860 --> 00:09:37,900
it's a pretty special
place that we feel like is

65
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:39,980
here in the city of Kerrville.

66
00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:41,540
We've been fortunate
to host the tournaments

67
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:45,260
this spring so far
that have 14 and under.

68
00:09:45,260 --> 00:09:47,580
And so what that means
is eighth graders down.

69
00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:49,940
Because in the springtime
you have sports.

70
00:09:49,940 --> 00:09:50,820
Tap sports going on.

71
00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:52,680
So the high school kids
are obviously doing

72
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:54,080
their stuff in the high school.

73
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,880
So just real quick, I'll
give you an overview

74
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,680
of how we look at it.

75
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:02,060
If you've ever done select
sports in baseball or softball,

76
00:10:02,060 --> 00:10:05,360
we put our calendar together
like you would for one

77
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,420
of those type of businesses.

78
00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:09,820
Meaning from
January through May,

79
00:10:09,820 --> 00:10:13,340
we're really going to be able to
go after the 14 and down kids,

80
00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:16,000
because those are the ones who
are playing both boys and girls.

81
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,180
Once the summer starts, May
through the end of July,

82
00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:21,600
maybe the first week of August
is when you can really capture

83
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,240
the high school kids, and
a lot of the younger groups

84
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,980
stop playing because of
other things that they do,

85
00:10:26,980 --> 00:10:29,040
and it's just the
natural ebb and flow.

86
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:29,940
And then you come back.

87
00:10:29,940 --> 00:10:32,740
Most people take August off
because they're doing tryouts,

88
00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:34,540
or they're kind of getting
themselves ready to go.

89
00:10:34,540 --> 00:10:36,280
And then September
through November

90
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,880
is when you can really go back
to all ages, because if they're

91
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,600
not playing football at the high
school level or young ladies

92
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,900
that are playing just softball,
you can really capture

93
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:48,000
all of them in the fall.

94
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,860
So it's kind of a
three season tier

95
00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:51,780
whenever you're
looking at the calendar

96
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:53,160
for how it's run for us.

97
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,540
So you want to talk
about the mission.

98
00:10:57,540 --> 00:11:00,380
Yeah, yeah.

99
00:11:00,380 --> 00:11:03,500
So we have partnered
with youth baseball.

100
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:06,100
It's a group called
five tool baseball.

101
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,760
They're our partner in
the youth side of things.

102
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,740
And then from a
high school side,

103
00:11:10,740 --> 00:11:13,700
unfortunately, right now
we don't have the fields

104
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:15,040
to run high school events.

105
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,140
We have two high
school fields, and then

106
00:11:17,140 --> 00:11:18,800
we have two softball fields.

107
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,040
So we can't play high school
events on the dirt fields.

108
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,900
So we have two baseball
fields which can only host

109
00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:27,380
10 team, 10 team tournament.

110
00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:30,340
Which 10 teams is you're
not going to get anyone

111
00:11:30,340 --> 00:11:31,400
to come here for 10 teams.

112
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,420
So if we can get
we're going to try

113
00:11:33,420 --> 00:11:35,260
to get some improvements
done to get the two

114
00:11:35,260 --> 00:11:36,680
softball fields caught up.

115
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:39,020
And we can have a
fourplex to where

116
00:11:39,020 --> 00:11:40,960
when he talks about
seasons of hey,

117
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,360
we have the first
season, second season,

118
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,400
third season as of now, June
and July is going to be.

119
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,760
It's not going to be what it
could be because the complex

120
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,520
isn't designed for it yet.

121
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,940
So that's something
we can talk about.

122
00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:53,900
We can work on that.

123
00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:56,360
That's a big need for
this area is to work

124
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,460
on the high school side.

125
00:11:57,460 --> 00:12:00,600
But going back to the mission,
we wanted to find a partner

126
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,480
that did things the right way.

127
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:08,200
As far as social media coverage,
the arm, the arm care, health

128
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,160
programs that they put in place,
the baseball USA guidelines

129
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,640
they follow.

130
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,980
So we're working with
five tool baseball.

131
00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:19,220
That's not to say that
we're Switzerland.

132
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:22,040
So everybody can come play here
whether that is perfect game

133
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,140
NCS et cetera, et cetera.

134
00:12:24,140 --> 00:12:28,720
So we're not a monopoly on
anything here in Kerrville.

135
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,460
And so that's kind
of our mission.

136
00:12:30,460 --> 00:12:33,080


137
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,800
We also have NCS a perfect game.

138
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,100
And so he touched on
that a little bit.

139
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:39,420
And what those are different
tournament organizations.

140
00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:41,840
And so where some people
really put themselves in a hole

141
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,560
is they put all their
eggs in one basket per se,

142
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:47,840
and they only use one tournament
operator and stuff like that.

143
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,280
And that really can hurt
you in the long run.

144
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,100
And so we have not wanted
to be that especially

145
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:54,360
for our local teams.

146
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,720
Our local teams want to
come and play out there,

147
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,020
but they don't want to play
the same teams every weekend

148
00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:01,140
and they don't want to play
each other over and over.

149
00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:04,060
And so by spreading out the
different tournament operators

150
00:13:04,060 --> 00:13:07,200
that we use relationship
wise, everything else,

151
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,300
it's good for our kids
here inside the community

152
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:12,860
to be able to have
that many more

153
00:13:12,860 --> 00:13:16,820
different styles of
tournaments and opportunities.

154
00:13:16,820 --> 00:13:17,400
Other things.

155
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,140
Business summary we
continue to strengthen

156
00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:21,700
in presence promoting
the Kerrville Sports

157
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,080
Complex throughout the state.

158
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,660
With that being said,
how we do that is

159
00:13:24,660 --> 00:13:26,500
with the different
tournament operators,

160
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:29,000
the AAA team that came
in a couple of weeks ago,

161
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,680
they were from Waco.

162
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:33,960
We're dealing with NRCS that
is maybe coming from El Paso.

163
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,640
And so when we spread out
where these people come from,

164
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,400
it also helps geographically
bring their clients with them.

165
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,500
And so that's how that
really helps us with.

166
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:47,160
We're actively working with
the Kerrville convention

167
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,760
and Visitors Bureau, including
exploring opportunities

168
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,160
for future, to feature the
CVB directly on our website

169
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,100
and better promote
local tourism.

170
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:57,720
City engagement.

171
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,400
We want the baseball firm
to build relationships

172
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,680
with local hotels, restaurants,
businesses throughout Kerrville.

173
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:07,000
Meaning whenever we host a
baseball tournament, depending

174
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,067
on where they're coming from, a
lot of the teams stay in hotels.

175
00:14:10,067 --> 00:14:12,100
A lot of the teams are going to
eat in the local restaurants.

176
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:13,800
They're going to fill
up their cars here.

177
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,960
They're going to
hopefully do and explore

178
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,460
the town of Kerrville for
everything that it has to give.

179
00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:22,920
So we really feel like if we're
successful bringing in people

180
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,400
to our tournaments, it's
really going to be a success

181
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,040
for the city of Kerrville.

182
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,320
And so that's what we're
really trying to do.

183
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,620
Initiatives we're looking ahead.

184
00:14:32,620 --> 00:14:35,540
We're working with nationally
recognized organizations.

185
00:14:35,540 --> 00:14:37,200
We're putting together
different tournaments

186
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,880
like we talked about, and
we're also trying to do we'll

187
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,480
get talk about it in a second.

188
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,380
In the fall.

189
00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:46,700
Be a place that outside state
organizations can also come in

190
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:50,900
and run college level
showcases to help kids

191
00:14:50,900 --> 00:14:52,880
that maybe are
already in college,

192
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,220
or are kids that are in high
school looking to go play

193
00:14:55,220 --> 00:14:58,180
at the next level to create
different opportunities outside

194
00:14:58,180 --> 00:15:00,380
of just playing games,
standards, being

195
00:15:00,380 --> 00:15:02,500
able to showcase do all
of those type of things

196
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,340
to at the ballpark.

197
00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:07,940
Here's a little breakdown
of the metrics and champions

198
00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:09,580
so far so far.

199
00:15:09,580 --> 00:15:10,800
Once we're done
with this weekend,

200
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,180
we'll be at a 407 teams that
have come through the gate

201
00:15:14,180 --> 00:15:15,820
this spring.

202
00:15:15,820 --> 00:15:19,060
That's 4675 players roughly.

203
00:15:19,060 --> 00:15:20,700
And then you can see
what I was talking

204
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:22,360
about on the bottom left.

205
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,540
That's a graph of
teams per month.

206
00:15:24,540 --> 00:15:26,420
And you can see
the Colder months

207
00:15:26,420 --> 00:15:28,360
once you get to April and May.

208
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,660
That's the big spike for
the 14 and down groups.

209
00:15:32,660 --> 00:15:34,920
And then as you get back
into the summertime,

210
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,240
it kind of slows back down.

211
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,240
And we had two
rainouts in there as

212
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,760
well throughout May and March.

213
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,240
This is just a little
breakdown, so you

214
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,840
can see where everybody
was kind of coming

215
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,360
from inside the state of Texas.

216
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,600
And so we have been
able to get a wide range

217
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,320
for just starting this spring.

218
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,400
82% of the traffic, foot
traffic comes from our baseball

219
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,320
and softball tournaments.

220
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,400
10% is from the
Kerrville Little League.

221
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,640
And then about 8% is from the
coed and senior softball leagues

222
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:08,940
and stuff of that nature.

223
00:16:08,940 --> 00:16:12,040
These are all the
different communities

224
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,280
that the teams have come from
that have visited Kerrville.

225
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,540
Obviously, some of them
have come multiple times,

226
00:16:17,540 --> 00:16:20,280
but we've at least put down
the city at least one time

227
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,480
if they've come this spring.

228
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,640
So you can see the breakdown
of where they're coming from.

229
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,440
The new changes that we
are working on right now,

230
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,920
we are actively trying to be
the second park in the state

231
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,120
of Texas that has the minor
League Baseball camera

232
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,740
stuff that they're going to
in the Major Leagues, which

233
00:16:39,740 --> 00:16:42,380
is everything's being
called by balls and strikes

234
00:16:42,380 --> 00:16:43,727
by AI and automation.

235
00:16:43,727 --> 00:16:45,260
And so we're going to
be putting up the camera

236
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:47,000
systems on all 11 fields.

237
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,020
We're working through
that right now.

238
00:16:49,020 --> 00:16:51,380
But to give anybody
who comes to Kerrville

239
00:16:51,380 --> 00:16:52,580
an experience that
they're not going

240
00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:54,080
to get hardly anywhere else.

241
00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:00,020
And so the opportunities for us
to have, a new technology like

242
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:03,440
that nobody's seen and we'll
be able to use it at the youth,

243
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,440
the middle school and
the high school level,

244
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,040
it's really something
that's going to stand out.

245
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,619
And I really, really
think it's going

246
00:17:08,619 --> 00:17:12,859
to be something that gives the
park a really cool experience.

247
00:17:12,859 --> 00:17:16,720
And on that, it's not going
to just be balls and strikes.

248
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,720
It's also going to be video.

249
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,920
So parents can download the
app, they can watch games live.

250
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,280
It's going to be live feeds.

251
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,079
They're going to be able
to get analytics from it.

252
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:29,520
And so it's not just
a red dot green dot.

253
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,540
It's actual technology
that they can

254
00:17:31,540 --> 00:17:34,660
use for a lot of
different stuff to create

255
00:17:34,660 --> 00:17:36,320
their portfolios as players.

256
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,660
How many I'm sorry.

257
00:17:37,660 --> 00:17:40,160
How many parks or
facilities have

258
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,500
that in the state right now.

259
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:43,960
Just roughly will be the
second would be the second.

260
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,800
The only other one is in
Tomball, Texas at Premier.

261
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:51,600
And that's where they use
a bunch of the higher level

262
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,520
high school tournaments are
played there because this system

263
00:17:54,520 --> 00:18:00,920
can give you, launch angle, RPMs
on fastball velocity of the bat,

264
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,260
miles per hour access speeds,
different pitch styles.

265
00:18:04,260 --> 00:18:07,680
I mean, it can get as nutty as
you want as far as how much you

266
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,480
want to get into it, but it's
just a really, really cool

267
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,440
system, because if the
parents obviously use the app

268
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,120
and do all that stuff,
they're able to build

269
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,020
a portfolio for their players.

270
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:22,020
As far as actual metrics and
data, that's really captured,

271
00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:24,880
and it solves the parent of
parents yelling at the umpires

272
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,520
because it's the balls and
strikes will not be inaccurate.

273
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,533
Oh, and one thing, because we've
gotten this to just I mean,

274
00:18:31,533 --> 00:18:33,300
I don't know if we have any
youth, parents and stuff,

275
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:36,220
but the way this stuff works
is youth baseball games,

276
00:18:36,220 --> 00:18:37,120
high school baseball games.

277
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:38,760
Sometimes the score
can get out of hand.

278
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,240
And so if you this is a soapbox.

279
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,360
But if you have an umpire that
likes to stay tight, right.

280
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:46,360
Because we're Major League stuff
out there, we can open the zone,

281
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:49,860
we can close the zone, we can
do things to help the game be

282
00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:53,540
a little bit more
facilitate, if that's

283
00:18:53,540 --> 00:18:55,280
a word for the young kids.

284
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,880
And if that's not
I just made it up.

285
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,560
So let me go to that
next one right there.

286
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,420
So we have a website
the baseball firm.

287
00:19:04,420 --> 00:19:06,220
If you ever want
to go check it out.

288
00:19:06,220 --> 00:19:09,060
Everything's on there from the
Little League to the Sr. League

289
00:19:09,060 --> 00:19:10,740
to the co-ed.

290
00:19:10,740 --> 00:19:13,260
We need to add the CFB.

291
00:19:13,260 --> 00:19:14,560
We need to add restaurants.

292
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,620
We need to add certain
things in the community

293
00:19:16,620 --> 00:19:17,600
that we need to nail on.

294
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,540
But as far as when tournaments
who the tournament director is,

295
00:19:21,540 --> 00:19:22,680
all of it's on there.

296
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,700
So it's a good.

297
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:27,660
In the past, I don't think this
has ever had a true website

298
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:30,740
for the complex where
anybody can go at any time,

299
00:19:30,740 --> 00:19:33,400
check in on any weekend that
they want and see what's there.

300
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,400
Click the link.

301
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,320
And then if anybody if
any of the teams register

302
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,140
they can register.

303
00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:38,813
So just on that
marketing piece there.

304
00:19:38,813 --> 00:19:40,280
And it's really trying
to create the synergy

305
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,660
between the baseball firm,
the complex and the community.

306
00:19:43,660 --> 00:19:46,340
Because every time we can get
that right the way we want it,

307
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:48,220
every time we send out
something about tournaments,

308
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:49,460
our website is going
to be on there.

309
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:51,880
So we just want people to
click on it, go to our website

310
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,800
and then see what the city
of Kerrville and our complex

311
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,160
has to offer.

312
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,280
The future, what we're
trying to do out there.

313
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,520
We have some fields that do
have we need a little love

314
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,920
to be able to bring the high
school type of tournaments

315
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,000
that we want to.

316
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,760
And what that means
is select baseball

317
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,820
has become such a big thing.

318
00:20:12,820 --> 00:20:15,120
Select softball has
become such a big thing.

319
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:17,520
There's good players
on all these teams,

320
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,960
and they're going to want their
players to be playing on fields

321
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,560
that they know are
good baseball fields

322
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,620
that they can't get hurt on.

323
00:20:23,620 --> 00:20:26,293
So some of the mounds, since
we have portable mounds,

324
00:20:26,293 --> 00:20:27,560
there's things that
we need to replace

325
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,540
that we need to do some dirt
work that we need to do.

326
00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:32,780
But next summer, we
will have high school

327
00:20:32,780 --> 00:20:33,960
baseball tournaments here.

328
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,900
We're already actively
talking to the guys

329
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:37,380
that we need to
talk to make sure

330
00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:40,207
that we get those tournaments.

331
00:20:40,207 --> 00:20:41,440
We're going to get
those tournaments.

332
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,540
That's not going
to be a problem.

333
00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:44,660
What we got to do is make
sure we put the elbow grease

334
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:46,840
into making it a complex.

335
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,020
Those kids, whether they're ever
going to play college baseball

336
00:20:50,020 --> 00:20:53,100
or not, can walk on those
fields and play baseball

337
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:55,660
and feel comfortable about it.

338
00:20:55,660 --> 00:20:57,380
The other thing
that we've run into

339
00:20:57,380 --> 00:21:00,980
is we're kind of capped out
right now at how many teams

340
00:21:00,980 --> 00:21:03,700
we can bring out there
from the parking space,

341
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:05,860
and so we'll work through
that and obviously

342
00:21:05,860 --> 00:21:08,260
do whatever soccer
fields this weekend

343
00:21:08,260 --> 00:21:09,640
and use the soccer
fields this weekend.

344
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,673
So that would be the only thing,
because once we get to about

345
00:21:11,673 --> 00:21:15,300
54 teams, the games
don't move fast

346
00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:17,680
enough for people to be moving
in and out of the complex.

347
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,780
And so we definitely
want to make

348
00:21:19,780 --> 00:21:22,520
sure we stay within the rules
of everything that we need to.

349
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,340
But that's just the only
thing that we've seen so far.

350
00:21:26,340 --> 00:21:27,800
Signage out at the complex.

351
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,520
We need to have some
refreshed signage for 2027.

352
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,000
And when we say
signage, we are the ones

353
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,880
that say no cleats,
no seeds, just

354
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,060
the rules of the complex park.

355
00:21:36,060 --> 00:21:36,620
Nice, right.

356
00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:38,440
The field numbers,
stuff like that people

357
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,800
use on a tournament
basis just so

358
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,560
and especially the
rules part shaded areas

359
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,800
for participants and fans.

360
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,960
What we've thought about is
if you've ever been out there

361
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,640
on a nice hot day and you're
standing on that concrete

362
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,160
to wait for a concession stand
line, and if you're on the grass

363
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,380
and it takes 10 minutes,
it can be a little hot.

364
00:21:59,380 --> 00:22:03,480
So thinking about a way we
always put up the pop up tents

365
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,600
and stuff, but thinking about
maybe an awning or something

366
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,020
that we could have maybe not
permanently because of the wind,

367
00:22:09,020 --> 00:22:11,920
but something that we can
shade people as they sit

368
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,000
and have a little picnic area,
stuff like that makes it feel

369
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,780
like we're at the ballpark.

370
00:22:16,780 --> 00:22:19,140
We can eat nachos, little
family picnic kind of deal.

371
00:22:19,140 --> 00:22:22,300
So anything that that's
what a ballpark is, right.

372
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:23,340
It's a family atmosphere.

373
00:22:23,340 --> 00:22:26,440
Make it feel like
a family event.

374
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,360
And then is that it.

375
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:33,120
Yeah so I mean, just in
closing, guys, Jeff Quillen,

376
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:36,280
he's been doing baseball
probably 20 plus years.

377
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,460
Unfortunately, yeah.

378
00:22:37,460 --> 00:22:40,060
I'm in it for 16 years.

379
00:22:40,060 --> 00:22:41,000
How was your coach.

380
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,580
He was my coach in high school.

381
00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:45,420
So we got 36 years
in this thing.

382
00:22:45,420 --> 00:22:49,360
And so we are very excited
for what's to come.

383
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,660
And we still are
going to keep working

384
00:22:51,660 --> 00:22:53,160
on improving the ballpark.

385
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,980
The more improvements we make,
the more teams we bring here

386
00:22:55,980 --> 00:22:57,980
and the more love
that people can

387
00:22:57,980 --> 00:22:59,200
see how amazing Kerrville is.

388
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,220
So thank you guys.

389
00:23:00,220 --> 00:23:01,460
Thank you.

390
00:23:01,460 --> 00:23:03,920
If you have questions, comments,
or questions, go ahead.

391
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,720
Well, first of all, can
you tell me your names.

392
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,700
I heard them, but Jeff Cooley.

393
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:09,040
OK Nico Gonzalez.

394
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:09,820
OK Jeff.

395
00:23:09,820 --> 00:23:10,440
Nico OK.

396
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,860
And then I just
want to say I spent

397
00:23:12,860 --> 00:23:15,700
gosh, I don't 12, 15 years.

398
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:18,660
My husband was a coach and
our daughter played softball.

399
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:21,480
And we brought our own
shade and our own food.

400
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,180
And I mean, so
this is like heaven

401
00:23:24,180 --> 00:23:26,940
for someone who's going to
be traveling and enjoying

402
00:23:26,940 --> 00:23:28,480
games every weekend.

403
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,700
So what have you heard
from people who come.

404
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:33,180
Besides parking, maybe you
could use more parking.

405
00:23:33,180 --> 00:23:36,020
Have you heard from
your tournament people.

406
00:23:36,020 --> 00:23:38,940
Parents hey, where's
the closest hotel.

407
00:23:38,940 --> 00:23:42,480
Or are there things
you're hearing that we

408
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,320
need to hear as a big picture.

409
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,320
Price point on hotels
is pretty high.

410
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,520
For what they're used
to at different areas.

411
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,480
They're staying some
people that I've

412
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,120
heard are staying in Bernie
over Kerrville because

413
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,640
of the price point difference.

414
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,420
That's the thing that
I've heard is price point.

415
00:24:04,420 --> 00:24:05,880
That's interesting.

416
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,420
Yes and I'll be good cop.

417
00:24:07,420 --> 00:24:11,240
What I hear all the time
is how nice the facility

418
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,840
is when these kids come from
all these different areas.

419
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,280
That's why I can't thank Jay,
Ethan and Steve and their team

420
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,140
for what they do, the support,
the way those fields look.

421
00:24:22,140 --> 00:24:25,380
Steve and his group, they work
their tails off out there.

422
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:27,840
And I've told Steve
this multiple times.

423
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,160
Being a baseball coach for as
long as I was in high school,

424
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,580
it's hard to take care of
one field, much less 11.

425
00:24:34,580 --> 00:24:36,540
And when six of
those are softball

426
00:24:36,540 --> 00:24:37,960
fields with a lot of dirt.

427
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,380
So it is not an easy
job to keep those things

428
00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:43,000
the shape that they're in.

429
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,920
And so it's amazing how many
people come in and be like,

430
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,800
wow, why don't we
play here more often.

431
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,540
And so that's
really been the key

432
00:24:49,540 --> 00:24:52,220
is trying to get the first
timers or the people that hadn't

433
00:24:52,220 --> 00:24:54,540
been here in a few
years, back into it, back

434
00:24:54,540 --> 00:24:55,720
into the community.

435
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,300
And when they do the
feedback from them

436
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:00,600
is very, very good, very good.

437
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,380
And John reminded me, we
are working with two hotels

438
00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:08,140
in the area to try to
work on pricing for 2027,

439
00:25:08,140 --> 00:25:10,920
even to the fact of
coaches who travel here,

440
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,480
who don't have any
kids on the team,

441
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,140
trying to get them
a free hotel room

442
00:25:14,140 --> 00:25:16,980
and going the extra mile to
make sure that they come here

443
00:25:16,980 --> 00:25:19,860
and stay here, giving them
different incentives to make it

444
00:25:19,860 --> 00:25:20,760
to where they do stay.

445
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:21,900
Oh, good.

446
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:23,340
Well, that brings me
to the other question

447
00:25:23,340 --> 00:25:24,720
I had about fundraising.

448
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,300
Do you have any
plans to do that.

449
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:28,900
And with the tournament
fees you're charging,

450
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:31,120
are you able to at least
have a balanced budget

451
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:32,140
at the end of the day.

452
00:25:32,140 --> 00:25:37,100
Or what kind of fundraising
would you maybe perhaps plan or.

453
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:40,360
Well, the fundraising for
us is not really something

454
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:41,860
that we would look to do.

455
00:25:41,860 --> 00:25:44,220
What we would look to do is
help, like the Little League,

456
00:25:44,220 --> 00:25:47,380
like Kerrville Little League,
to be able to do things,

457
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:50,420
to maybe help them with
playing opportunities,

458
00:25:50,420 --> 00:25:52,340
uniforms, just things that
we can do inside there.

459
00:25:52,340 --> 00:25:55,460
But as far as us needing to
do fundraising for our own,

460
00:25:55,460 --> 00:25:58,060
well, I didn't know if you had
just had someone else doing it.

461
00:25:58,060 --> 00:26:01,000
Like we used to have sponsors
for signs on the fence

462
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:01,740
and all of that.

463
00:26:01,740 --> 00:26:02,540
I don't know if y'all.

464
00:26:02,540 --> 00:26:05,440
Yeah, yeah, we still want
to explore those options

465
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,320
as far as that type
of and just probably

466
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,240
use that money to put
back in the park whatever

467
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,620
sponsors we're able to get.

468
00:26:11,620 --> 00:26:12,620
OK, good.

469
00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:15,040
Yeah but yeah that or
I mean we really want

470
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,260
to give back to the community.

471
00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:18,520
So all of the money
that comes in from all

472
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,840
those different locations
of cities we'd like to give

473
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,060
to the Kerrville Little League,
if there's local select teams

474
00:26:24,060 --> 00:26:26,600
that we give breaks to
in their tournament dues,

475
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,980
et cetera, et cetera put
Kerrville first there.

476
00:26:30,980 --> 00:26:31,880
Let's play ball.

477
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,460
OK thank you very much.

478
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:38,780
We kind of started
this whole venture.

479
00:26:38,780 --> 00:26:42,780
I mean getting people here and
start playing ball in March.

480
00:26:42,780 --> 00:26:43,280
Yes, sir.

481
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,180
Yes, we're in June.

482
00:26:46,180 --> 00:26:48,320
How many teams
have we had so far.

483
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,200
407 what was your
annual goal for 2026?

484
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,580
I believe it's 400.

485
00:26:53,580 --> 00:26:54,320
There you go.

486
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,300
Thank you.

487
00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:56,540
Yes thank you sir.

488
00:26:56,540 --> 00:26:57,760
And y'all have more coming.

489
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,200
Yes yeah, we have a whole other
half a year, but good job.

490
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:01,800
Great job.

491
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,260
I mean, that's what
we asked you all

492
00:27:03,260 --> 00:27:08,800
to do when y'all came in, and
y'all have exceeded everything.

493
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:09,660
So thank you.

494
00:27:09,660 --> 00:27:12,300
We appreciate that very much.

495
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:13,860
Thanks for the great
work you're doing.

496
00:27:13,860 --> 00:27:16,740
It's really exciting to
have that much activity

497
00:27:16,740 --> 00:27:17,680
going on out there.

498
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,240
So thanks.

499
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,200
Thanks for the good work.

500
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,380
Thank you.

501
00:27:21,380 --> 00:27:24,360
I just want to applaud
y'all just as a citizen

502
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:27,560
who drives by that.

503
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,220
Facility twice, at
least twice a day.

504
00:27:30,220 --> 00:27:34,500
Seeing it last year or
even maybe two years ago.

505
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:39,240
And my son did
lessons out there.

506
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,220
So I know how nice
that facility is.

507
00:27:41,220 --> 00:27:44,000
And so seeing tournaments
not taking place

508
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,780
and seeing it kind
of sitting empty.

509
00:27:45,780 --> 00:27:49,900
So seeing y'all drastically
turn it around is really great.

510
00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:51,780
So congratulations.

511
00:27:51,780 --> 00:27:53,720
Thank you.

512
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,900
Congratulations and good
work to you and your crews.

513
00:27:56,900 --> 00:27:57,460
Thank you.

514
00:27:57,460 --> 00:27:58,280
Thank you.

515
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,520
If you're around this
weekend 72 team softball

516
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,900
tournament, 22 colleges here.

517
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:04,940
We'll have Texas Tech here.

518
00:28:04,940 --> 00:28:06,640
We'll have some big
colleges watching

519
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,100
these girls 14, 16 and 18.

520
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:11,520
You it'll be a packed house
this weekend if y'all are bored.

521
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Thank you.

522
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:13,260
Thank you.

523
00:28:13,260 --> 00:28:13,760
Thank you all.

524
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,260
Thank you.

525
00:28:14,260 --> 00:28:16,020
Free entry fee for
anybody in this room.

526
00:28:16,020 --> 00:28:19,480


527
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,020
OK my favorite price.

528
00:28:23,020 --> 00:28:25,800
Next item is the Kerr
together legislative update.

529
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,400
I believe Mr. Whitson is
going to address this.

530
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,780


531
00:28:32,780 --> 00:28:34,580
I need a cookie.

532
00:28:34,580 --> 00:28:35,980
Thanks for being here.

533
00:28:35,980 --> 00:28:36,600
Thank you all.

534
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:37,280
Thank you.

535
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:43,900


536
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:44,740
My glasses.

537
00:28:44,740 --> 00:28:45,640
Thank you, Mr. mayor.

538
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,260
And members of council.

539
00:28:47,260 --> 00:28:50,460
Before I begin this
afternoon, I'd like.

540
00:28:50,460 --> 00:28:53,100
I'm bringing my
friends with me to talk

541
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:56,700
about several
important subjects.

542
00:28:56,700 --> 00:29:00,400
Kelly and our
Governmental Affairs team.

543
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,840
Y'all stand up.

544
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,100
Tara's here.

545
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:06,220
Come on up.

546
00:29:06,220 --> 00:29:07,760
OK hey.

547
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,580
I'm glad you're here.

548
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:13,540
This is a team effort to key
off of the last presentation.

549
00:29:13,540 --> 00:29:19,260
We've been working hard to do
a lot of things that are hard.

550
00:29:19,260 --> 00:29:25,680
And as I mentioned yesterday
in my briefing to the County

551
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,740
we'd like to give, I'm
here for two reasons.

552
00:29:28,740 --> 00:29:31,720
Number one, to give you an
update on the operations

553
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,520
that we've been doing
at Kerr together.

554
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,680
And also to start a
conversation about what

555
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,040
additional financial
assistance we

556
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:46,000
might need going into the
next part of the recovery.

557
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,080
Since July four of last year.

558
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,440
I don't have to
tell you what a blow

559
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,680
it was, but look
how far we've come.

560
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,920
Working together, everybody
putting on the same Jersey.

561
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,680
And I will tell you,
from my experience

562
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,560
in working other disasters
that you've gone far

563
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,600
and really have shown
up in terms of what

564
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,220
this community is made of.

565
00:30:13,220 --> 00:30:16,040


566
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,620
Kerrville is a
special place I found

567
00:30:19,620 --> 00:30:23,160
quite an enjoyable experience
working with everybody.

568
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,820
You're strong and you're
not like some communities

569
00:30:26,820 --> 00:30:31,740
I've worked with in terms
of getting things done.

570
00:30:31,740 --> 00:30:34,140
There are some
communities that take

571
00:30:34,140 --> 00:30:37,140
four to six months to even
set up their long term

572
00:30:37,140 --> 00:30:38,900
recovery operation.

573
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:43,380
You guys did it in weeks,
and it's just a testament

574
00:30:43,380 --> 00:30:47,660
to your grit, determination,
and all the things

575
00:30:47,660 --> 00:30:49,620
that you've brought
to the table.

576
00:30:49,620 --> 00:30:53,340
So again, I'm very
proud to be part

577
00:30:53,340 --> 00:30:57,100
of this, very proud
of all of your folks

578
00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:58,700
that have worked with us.

579
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:03,780
And the long term recovery
operation is a team game

580
00:31:03,780 --> 00:31:08,500
and we have worked with
many, many partners.

581
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:10,560
I don't have time to
go through all of them,

582
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,540
but that we've worked
with corporations,

583
00:31:13,540 --> 00:31:15,760
we've worked with the
Community Foundation,

584
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,020
we've worked with volunteer
organizations after disaster.

585
00:31:20,020 --> 00:31:23,540
Have you come and seen
club 98, the one stop shop.

586
00:31:23,540 --> 00:31:25,840
You can walk around and
see all the organizations

587
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,960
that work daily.

588
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,640
Obviously the city of Kerrville.

589
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,280
Ingram we've worked with the
County, just a lot of state

590
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,280
agencies, universities.

591
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,200
And I'd like to give a
shout out to Doctor Boswell

592
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,960
here with Schreiner University.

593
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,780
They've been a top player
in this effort as well.

594
00:31:45,780 --> 00:31:47,720
So thank you to
the whole community

595
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,400
for rallying to the cause.

596
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:56,120
And now we are going to
work together to go further.

597
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,880
I'd like to just
highlight a few things.

598
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,760
Since I've been here,
we've been working

599
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,380
and we've gotten
a few things done.

600
00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:08,120
So obviously wanted to
share a few things in terms

601
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,820
of the top accomplishments, we
have created the one stop shop,

602
00:32:12,820 --> 00:32:15,020
and I know that several of
you have been through it.

603
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:19,740
Route the mayor helped us
cut the ribbon, so thank you.

604
00:32:19,740 --> 00:32:24,020
We have provided leadership
to the flood Warning system.

605
00:32:24,020 --> 00:32:26,260
You didn't have one last year.

606
00:32:26,260 --> 00:32:27,780
You have one now.

607
00:32:27,780 --> 00:32:29,680
And I'm just the spokesman.

608
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,680
But Tara's the real
expert in that.

609
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,420
And so if you have
questions, I'll

610
00:32:33,420 --> 00:32:34,640
take all the easy questions.

611
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:35,860
If you have any
hard questions, you

612
00:32:35,860 --> 00:32:38,400
can ask Tara later on
in the presentation,

613
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,140
we're going to
cover some of that.

614
00:32:41,140 --> 00:32:44,900
It really began with the
Texas middle mile grant.

615
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:50,900
There were $700 million in
requests for that money.

616
00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:56,300
There was $200 million to give
out, and we won 14.7 of it.

617
00:32:56,300 --> 00:32:59,020
And that has begun
to build the backbone

618
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:00,520
in the electronic highway.

619
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:05,700
We need to gather data for the
flood Warning predictive system.

620
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:09,740
We've actively supported small
businesses across the County,

621
00:33:09,740 --> 00:33:14,560
in particular some of
the things that they

622
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,600
found they needed help with.

623
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,580
And I see Mindy sitting here and
she knows what all we've done.

624
00:33:20,580 --> 00:33:23,440
Collectively, it's
been a real joy

625
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:29,160
to see that part of the
disaster come full circle.

626
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,000
We've actually done one of
the key things we've done

627
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,380
is the healing of the river.

628
00:33:34,380 --> 00:33:38,000
The strategy is all hanging on.

629
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,960
If we heal the river,
we heal the community.

630
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,120
And we've done that in
three specific ways.

631
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,720
There's been riparian plantings.

632
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,000
We have initiatives to
work on invasive species.

633
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,080
The most exciting program to
me is the trees initiative

634
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,800
that the San Antonio botanical
garden is working with us on.

635
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,580
They wanted to
collect last year.

636
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:03,280
I was like, oh, y'all
want to do that.

637
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,680
100,000 seeds they
wanted to collect

638
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,719
from Native species in the
Guadalupe Valley River Valley.

639
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,380
I said, wow, that's huge.

640
00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:17,100
They collected 850,000 seeds.

641
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,980
And now those seeds have been
turned over to the scientists

642
00:34:19,980 --> 00:34:22,360
and to their methodology.

643
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,540
And they are in the
process of growing.

644
00:34:25,540 --> 00:34:28,460
And this fall, we're
going you have to actually

645
00:34:28,460 --> 00:34:29,960
you can't go plant the trees.

646
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,260
You have to be trained
to plant the trees

647
00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:36,260
because there's ways we want to
do it and put back what I think

648
00:34:36,260 --> 00:34:39,560
is a legacy out
of this disaster,

649
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,920
out of the horrible
aspects of this disaster.

650
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,659
There will be good things
that are happening.

651
00:34:45,659 --> 00:34:51,580
Another thing we've done is
the multiple public education

652
00:34:51,580 --> 00:34:52,580
initiatives.

653
00:34:52,580 --> 00:34:56,820
How many have seen the New
film out healing for the hope

654
00:34:56,820 --> 00:34:59,820
for the Guadalupe hands.

655
00:34:59,820 --> 00:35:01,320
Yeah go see it.

656
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,580
It's on YouTube.

657
00:35:02,580 --> 00:35:04,940
And it's also going to be
featured around the state

658
00:35:04,940 --> 00:35:06,940
on PBS television.

659
00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:08,960
So we've made a lot
of strides there.

660
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,840
Again, many partners working
together to do great things.

661
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,280
Another thing that I'm kind of
tickled about is our dive teams.

662
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,980
And I see Jay left.

663
00:35:17,980 --> 00:35:18,960
Oh he's there.

664
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:24,440
He and I have worked
diligently with the dive teams,

665
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,680
and you would not
believe what they have

666
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,320
pulled out of the river
in the high contact

667
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,900
areas, the swim areas.

668
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:33,080
We want to make
sure they're clear

669
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,800
not only for the local
people, but for the visitors.

670
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:41,440
And last count, about a week ago
was a little over 31,000 pounds

671
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,720
of debris, sharp
objects, metal, all

672
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:47,600
kinds of things
collected and have

673
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,940
been removed from the river.

674
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:53,980
And that's not only just
from City of Kerrville,

675
00:35:53,980 --> 00:35:55,840
it involves the state of Texas.

676
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,800
They have worked hand in
glove with us on that effort.

677
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,400
So I'm really
tickled about that.

678
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,280
We've also worked with the
emotional and spiritual care

679
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,400
and outreach initiatives.

680
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,220
And again, I'm coming in.

681
00:36:12,220 --> 00:36:13,680
Here I've been here 10 months.

682
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,900
11 months.

683
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:18,260
There's some of you that
have been here since day one,

684
00:36:18,260 --> 00:36:20,900
and it is not a
sign of weakness.

685
00:36:20,900 --> 00:36:23,860
If you want to go get help or
you want to talk to somebody,

686
00:36:23,860 --> 00:36:25,300
do it.

687
00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:28,140
Because having worked
many, many disasters,

688
00:36:28,140 --> 00:36:30,980
that is a critical,
critical aspect that

689
00:36:30,980 --> 00:36:32,520
needs to be paid attention to.

690
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,660
And the beautiful
thing about this

691
00:36:34,660 --> 00:36:39,460
is if there is a beautiful thing
is you've got the resources,

692
00:36:39,460 --> 00:36:42,220
the money is there,
the help is there.

693
00:36:42,220 --> 00:36:44,460
Go take advantage of it.

694
00:36:44,460 --> 00:36:47,700
We've organized a tourism
support activities, the

695
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:50,260
new Guadalupe Valley program.

696
00:36:50,260 --> 00:36:56,980
And I have to give a huge
shout out to your director.

697
00:36:56,980 --> 00:36:59,580
Names, Julie.

698
00:36:59,580 --> 00:37:01,340
Yeah sorry.

699
00:37:01,340 --> 00:37:06,460
She has stepped up in such a
large way for that initiative.

700
00:37:06,460 --> 00:37:08,440
And we have garnered resources.

701
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,340
There they'll be
over $650,000 in.

702
00:37:12,340 --> 00:37:16,660
Advertisement that didn't cost
you anything to advertise.

703
00:37:16,660 --> 00:37:17,640
Hey come back.

704
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,560
Enjoy the river again.

705
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,320
We're open for business.

706
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,880
So I think that was a
huge accomplishment.

707
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,200
And of course, we've supported
organizations with unmet needs.

708
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,840
And we had a report today.

709
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,220
It's just incredible.

710
00:37:33,220 --> 00:37:36,760
And one thing that's not on
the slide here I want to also

711
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,880
emphasize is we just
received a $35,000 grant from

712
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:45,200
the rebuild Texas
fund to start a youth

713
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,880
corps resilience initiative.

714
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,680
So where we're going to
begin teaching the kids

715
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,400
how to do this recovery work.

716
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,440
And I think that's just
a beautiful and wonderful

717
00:37:54,440 --> 00:38:00,960
thing to pass the torch, to
pass the legacy to a new group.

718
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,520
So the second thing
I want to talk to you

719
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:07,540
a little bit about is
the legislative proposal.

720
00:38:07,540 --> 00:38:08,920
I love football.

721
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,480
I'm a football kind of guy.

722
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,220
So I try to use an analogy
I could understand.

723
00:38:14,220 --> 00:38:16,780
And that is we're
about halftime.

724
00:38:16,780 --> 00:38:20,980
If you look at the Grand
scheme of things and as one

725
00:38:20,980 --> 00:38:24,620
of the voices in the
halftime locker room,

726
00:38:24,620 --> 00:38:28,780
it's time for us to roll up our
sleeves take credit for what

727
00:38:28,780 --> 00:38:30,760
we've done, celebrate
what we've done,

728
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,460
but plan for the third
and fourth quarter

729
00:38:33,460 --> 00:38:37,580
because this whole effort
isn't over by a long shot.

730
00:38:37,580 --> 00:38:40,120
In what we do in the second
quarter and the third,

731
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,740
I mean, the third
and fourth quarter

732
00:38:41,740 --> 00:38:44,220
is just as important as the
wins that we've racked up

733
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:46,820
in the first half of the game.

734
00:38:46,820 --> 00:38:49,780
So we've been working
with our friends

735
00:38:49,780 --> 00:38:51,120
at the Kerrville chamber.

736
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,220
And again, that's
why my folks are here

737
00:38:54,220 --> 00:38:56,340
with the governmental
Affairs Committee.

738
00:38:56,340 --> 00:38:59,860
And they have been rolling up
their sleeves working with me

739
00:38:59,860 --> 00:39:01,120
and the other team members.

740
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,580
I have to shout out
to Michael harness,

741
00:39:03,580 --> 00:39:08,240
who's also been involved in
helping me navigate this space.

742
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:10,800
And we've come up
with four categories

743
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,400
that we want to approach
the legislative bodies

744
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,760
with and talk with them about.

745
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,480
The number one ask would be
the flood Warning system.

746
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,020
We've won and I'll show you.

747
00:39:22,020 --> 00:39:23,180
I'll walk through the details.

748
00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:24,920
We've won quite a bit there.

749
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,160
And we've done
quite a bit there.

750
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,200
But what else do we need to do.

751
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,260
That's our number one.

752
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:32,160
Ask our number one priority.

753
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,400
What else needs to be done.

754
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,160
We also want to build
emergency response capacity

755
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,800
greater than it was in 2025.

756
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,760
We want to mitigate any
environmental impacts

757
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,540
that are involved in the
situation with the recovery.

758
00:39:49,540 --> 00:39:52,080
And of course, we want
to improve any policies

759
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,720
that we can at the
state level and become

760
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:58,400
a model for how we
do long term recovery

761
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,680
and how we lead
as we go forward.

762
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,400
Real quick, I think
you've seen this before,

763
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,500
but this just gives you
an example of how critical

764
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:11,780
the middle mile project was.

765
00:40:11,780 --> 00:40:15,020
It basically builds
the electronic highway

766
00:40:15,020 --> 00:40:18,940
to do the flood prediction
modeling in a more precise way.

767
00:40:18,940 --> 00:40:23,260
The data that you need to do
such high level calculations

768
00:40:23,260 --> 00:40:27,460
is hidden in all the creeks and
valleys, and along the riverine

769
00:40:27,460 --> 00:40:29,380
systems in remote areas.

770
00:40:29,380 --> 00:40:31,900
So the electronic
highway allows us

771
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:35,860
to begin moving that data
from where it's the rain

772
00:40:35,860 --> 00:40:38,580
is falling, where the stream
is flowing, where the water

773
00:40:38,580 --> 00:40:40,700
levels are being
recorded, and move it

774
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:45,500
into the predictive model, which
is going to be housed at ugra.

775
00:40:45,500 --> 00:40:48,320
And there will be other
benefits from that.

776
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,680
And I see it not only as
an electronic highway,

777
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:55,060
but a backbone for our
flood recovery system.

778
00:40:55,060 --> 00:40:58,900
And there'll be other
benefits as well.

779
00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:01,480
Moving on with the
flood Warning system,

780
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,000
we've built this with three
different buckets of funds.

781
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,220
So that's how you have
to do it in government.

782
00:41:07,220 --> 00:41:09,200
You have to piece
it all together.

783
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,720
And we've done that.

784
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:13,240
The first one, of course,
is the middle mile.

785
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:17,440
The second one is funds we
receive from the state of Texas

786
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:22,940
that flowed from the Texas Water
Development Board to the County.

787
00:41:22,940 --> 00:41:24,800
And then on to ugra.

788
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,680
And now the really
cool thing is we

789
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,720
have this new tool built
that is being assembled

790
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:32,720
by ugra called river hub.

791
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:34,760
The river hub and
river hub is going

792
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,380
to be an electronic dashboard.

793
00:41:36,380 --> 00:41:39,020
It'll be not quite on
your mobile phone yet,

794
00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:40,560
but we're getting there.

795
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,760
It's best viewed at this
point in time on your PC,

796
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,480
but it'll be a map
and it'll show you

797
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,780
where all the rain is falling.

798
00:41:47,780 --> 00:41:50,940
It'll show you where the
rivers, creeks are rising.

799
00:41:50,940 --> 00:41:53,120
It'll show you where
things are happening

800
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,280
out there in the system.

801
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,920
And again, we have
done all of this work

802
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,180
to begin being able to
develop a predictive model

803
00:42:03,180 --> 00:42:05,140
because the whole thing
with a flash flood

804
00:42:05,140 --> 00:42:07,060
is it's not like in
Florida where I come

805
00:42:07,060 --> 00:42:09,540
from, unless it's a hurricane.

806
00:42:09,540 --> 00:42:13,480
The water slowly creeps up
on the Florida Gulf Coast.

807
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,880
But here the water flashes
and it comes fast and furious,

808
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,880
and you have to get
out in enough time.

809
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,400
And so that's the magic
of a predictive system,

810
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,260
is to give you that
time by you, that

811
00:42:25,260 --> 00:42:30,020
time to take evasive action.

812
00:42:30,020 --> 00:42:37,260
This basically leads us with
a delta between what we need

813
00:42:37,260 --> 00:42:39,620
and what we have, and
we'll go into the details

814
00:42:39,620 --> 00:42:40,760
of that in just a minute.

815
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,020
But one of the things that
was not done last year

816
00:42:44,020 --> 00:42:47,420
in the legislative sessions,
where they asked that we get

817
00:42:47,420 --> 00:42:49,980
all these sirens built,
is there was no money

818
00:42:49,980 --> 00:42:52,220
appropriated for maintenance.

819
00:42:52,220 --> 00:42:54,340
In fact, they didn't
even know how many

820
00:42:54,340 --> 00:42:56,120
sirens we were going to need.

821
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,400
And that's the process that
we're involved in right now.

822
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,960
And we have some figures
there to do some ballpark

823
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,440
estimates on that.

824
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,480
So what are the challenges.

825
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,600
How many of these
sirens are we going

826
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,080
to need throughout the County.

827
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,620
And the chief has been
active in our working groups,

828
00:43:16,620 --> 00:43:18,400
and we're going to have
some more comments on that

829
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,640
pretty soon too.

830
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,120
But if you take this
state of Texas guidance

831
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,560
and you apply it
strictly by the letter,

832
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,540
according to their
written guidance,

833
00:43:28,540 --> 00:43:32,680
we need 134 sirens
in Kerr County

834
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,840
to cover the entire river.

835
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,900
Well, we've already about.

836
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:39,020
Well, we installed 6 and
we got two more to go.

837
00:43:39,020 --> 00:43:40,460
So we have already eight.

838
00:43:40,460 --> 00:43:42,600
So that means 126.

839
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:47,040
That's an enormous
amount of capital cost

840
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,200
plus maintenance and expense.

841
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,320
And so our technical team
is digging into this issue.

842
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,520
And it's tied to where
are the flash flood areas

843
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,440
and the areas of high hazard.

844
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,500
And we're going to begin to have
that conversation with the state

845
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:06,380
and narrow this down to
what we think is probably

846
00:44:06,380 --> 00:44:08,540
a more manageable
number, probably

847
00:44:08,540 --> 00:44:11,300
somewhere between 20 and 30.

848
00:44:11,300 --> 00:44:15,740
Sirens but again, that
is yet to be worked out.

849
00:44:15,740 --> 00:44:18,980
So looking at the entire
system, taking a look

850
00:44:18,980 --> 00:44:22,580
at what it all in cost
would be, we're estimating

851
00:44:22,580 --> 00:44:25,700
at this point 29.4 million.

852
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:28,060
Like I said, we've
had some wins.

853
00:44:28,060 --> 00:44:30,060
We're about halfway
there in terms

854
00:44:30,060 --> 00:44:34,360
of funding that we've been
allocated to build the system,

855
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,180
but we need more.

856
00:44:36,180 --> 00:44:40,420
So we're about 54% in 45% to go.

857
00:44:40,420 --> 00:44:43,640
And again, these are our
high level estimations.

858
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:48,940
If you break down further
we have about 2.4 million

859
00:44:48,940 --> 00:44:50,220
already in.

860
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:52,340
That's involved in the
process of putting up

861
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:57,320
the sirens that we have
on order and that we're

862
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,760
actually physically here.

863
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,000
But if you take a
look at OK, if we

864
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,520
have to add more sirens to the
system, what would that cost.

865
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,920
And here are some of the numbers
that we have broken down.

866
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,840
These are high level estimates.

867
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,440
As we learn more about
specifically where these sirens

868
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,840
need to go, we will
refine these numbers

869
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,420
and hopefully bring
it down further.

870
00:45:19,420 --> 00:45:24,080
Again, I emphasize no
maintenance was ascribed

871
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,680
to the process, and we
will need to figure out

872
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,720
how that O&M cost is covered.

873
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:32,520
So then going on to
the second pillar

874
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,080
of the plan and the
legislative conversation.

875
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,800
This is we need to be building
emergency response capacity.

876
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,560
And I know my friends sitting
over here would agree with that.

877
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,420
And what that means,
what does that look like.

878
00:45:46,420 --> 00:45:50,760
Well, perhaps we need to take
Schreiner University model

879
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,800
and expand it and improve it so
that it not only can help us,

880
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,220
but it can help the rest
of the state of Texas.

881
00:45:57,220 --> 00:46:00,200
And I think there's a
large appetite for that.

882
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,020
And we've been working with
Doctor Boswell and Doctor

883
00:46:03,020 --> 00:46:05,940
McCormick on all
those conversations

884
00:46:05,940 --> 00:46:10,020
and of course, the EOC upgrades
that the County would like.

885
00:46:10,020 --> 00:46:13,140
This is a high level summary
of what those would be,

886
00:46:13,140 --> 00:46:16,780
because again, you have to have
the technology tools in place

887
00:46:16,780 --> 00:46:19,220
to be able to have those
communications back

888
00:46:19,220 --> 00:46:20,780
and forth between
the state and federal

889
00:46:20,780 --> 00:46:23,700
government and the locals.

890
00:46:23,700 --> 00:46:26,820
The third part of the
strategy is mitigation

891
00:46:26,820 --> 00:46:29,140
of environmental impacts.

892
00:46:29,140 --> 00:46:34,380
We would like to see a very
in-depth study conducted.

893
00:46:34,380 --> 00:46:38,620
The river raged on July four.

894
00:46:38,620 --> 00:46:43,180
It moved mountains of material
everywhere, all over the place.

895
00:46:43,180 --> 00:46:46,980
So you have too much
here, too little there.

896
00:46:46,980 --> 00:46:50,020
What do you do and how do you
do that without destroying

897
00:46:50,020 --> 00:46:51,100
the environment.

898
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:53,700
So we want to go in
and have a 2 to three

899
00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:57,740
year look before you put
bulldozers in the river,

900
00:46:57,740 --> 00:47:00,500
or whatever you need to do
to move that material around.

901
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:02,920
So that's part of what
that ask is about.

902
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,480
I've already
mentioned that we have

903
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,360
engaged in efforts to
address habitat loss,

904
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,400
but that's kind of a start.

905
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,280
What happens if some of
those private sector funding

906
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:14,180
don't come through.

907
00:47:14,180 --> 00:47:17,880
What is the state of Texas
obligation in that conversation.

908
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,120
We would like to make sure
that hole gets addressed,

909
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,640
either by the initiatives we
already have in place or ones

910
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:29,120
that we can put in place
working with state agencies.

911
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,560
Policy improvements.

912
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,200
Hey, there's always
ways you can get better.

913
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,040
And so some of the
things we talked

914
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,720
about in our conversations
were to extend

915
00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:43,560
the SB three timelines.

916
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,540
Tara has the responsibility
of moving this ball forward.

917
00:47:47,540 --> 00:47:50,560
And she says she
needs more time.

918
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,340
The woman works 24/7.

919
00:47:52,340 --> 00:47:54,420
I don't know how
she gets any rest.

920
00:47:54,420 --> 00:47:56,640
So if she says she needs
a little more time,

921
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,580
then I think we should
consider that seriously.

922
00:47:59,580 --> 00:48:01,860
And I'm sure that there are
other counties and other river

923
00:48:01,860 --> 00:48:05,500
authorities that would agree
with that conversation as well.

924
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:09,740
We also would like to see
layering of the system.

925
00:48:09,740 --> 00:48:11,580
There's more than one way.

926
00:48:11,580 --> 00:48:14,540
The sirens are great and we
appreciate the state's help

927
00:48:14,540 --> 00:48:16,280
and we want the state's help.

928
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,940
But what else can we do.

929
00:48:17,940 --> 00:48:22,180
There's National
Weather Service systems

930
00:48:22,180 --> 00:48:24,980
that could be put in place
with the weather radios.

931
00:48:24,980 --> 00:48:27,820
There's also AccuWeather.

932
00:48:27,820 --> 00:48:31,140
There's also other
two way communication

933
00:48:31,140 --> 00:48:32,860
radio systems that
could be built

934
00:48:32,860 --> 00:48:35,160
and set up and put in place.

935
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,500
There's a multiple layering
of systems that we need to do

936
00:48:38,500 --> 00:48:42,920
and also connecting it with
the state of Texas road system.

937
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,660
So the low water crossings
and the flashers and things

938
00:48:46,660 --> 00:48:50,460
like that could be
set up on the roads.

939
00:48:50,460 --> 00:48:55,520
And we also would like to see
the weather systems improved

940
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:01,680
Senate Bill five allocated
money to several universities

941
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,880
to build radar, Doppler radars
and other stream flow data

942
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,760
that we don't have right now.

943
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,680
And engineer that into
the predictive model

944
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,480
that could use some help.

945
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,440
And I've actually talked to
Rice University and Texas Tech

946
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,260
and UT Arlington about this.

947
00:49:18,260 --> 00:49:20,320
And they're on
board with wanting

948
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:21,660
this additional assistance.

949
00:49:21,660 --> 00:49:24,840
So how does that all look in
terms of policy improvements

950
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,920
and what we would
need to do that.

951
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,920
We're estimating
around $3 million

952
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,280
to improve the technological
aspects of this.

953
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:33,480
Number two.

954
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,360
And I'm working with
Michael on this.

955
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:42,160
What about if we were
to take the middle mile

956
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,560
and we were to provide
some financial incentives

957
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:49,100
to the AT&T, Verizon,
all of those groups,

958
00:49:49,100 --> 00:49:52,260
we could place
communication networks

959
00:49:52,260 --> 00:49:55,340
on our middle mile
backbone and improve

960
00:49:55,340 --> 00:49:56,800
the cell phone technology.

961
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,580
Technology, which is part of
the problem in the remote areas

962
00:50:00,580 --> 00:50:01,080
of the County.

963
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,000
It's not so much a
problem in the city,

964
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,040
but it is in the other
parts of the County.

965
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,960
And I think if we would form
a public private partnership,

966
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,540
we might be able to
solve that problem.

967
00:50:11,540 --> 00:50:15,740
And so again, the idea
is, why don't that cell.

968
00:50:15,740 --> 00:50:19,120
Why doesn't that cell phone
coverage exist right now.

969
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:20,980
Well, it's because
of the capital cost.

970
00:50:20,980 --> 00:50:23,380
Let's face it, if
these companies are not

971
00:50:23,380 --> 00:50:25,220
going to spend
money, if they can't

972
00:50:25,220 --> 00:50:27,580
find a way to make it back.

973
00:50:27,580 --> 00:50:30,740
So if we could provide some
sort of carrot in a partnership,

974
00:50:30,740 --> 00:50:34,220
maybe we could see that
through and make it happen.

975
00:50:34,220 --> 00:50:37,460
And then, of course, a lot
of damage to our smaller

976
00:50:37,460 --> 00:50:40,220
businesses, to the camps.

977
00:50:40,220 --> 00:50:46,660
There's 220 counties throughout
the 254 counties in the state

978
00:50:46,660 --> 00:50:51,520
of Texas that have camps and
that have the small businesses

979
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,480
that support those camps.

980
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:57,600
Perhaps we could talk with
our and see what they could

981
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,600
do about creating some sort of
seasonal economic development

982
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,020
stabilization fund
to ease the blow.

983
00:51:03,020 --> 00:51:04,580
And I know Steve
sitting over here,

984
00:51:04,580 --> 00:51:06,600
he might buy into that idea.

985
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,640
It's one of the
things that's needed.

986
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:13,200
There was a heavy burden put
on the camping industry and all

987
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,520
of the partners that
support it, when they really

988
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,460
it just came out of the blue.

989
00:51:19,460 --> 00:51:22,040


990
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,880
So if you step back and you
take a look at all four columns

991
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,800
and you add up the
numbers, we're looking

992
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:32,400
at about that level of support.

993
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:37,440
The question is, how can we have
the conversation as a community

994
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,680
to come to consensus on this.

995
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,520
Will we receive $85.4 million
from the state legislature.

996
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,920
I don't know.

997
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,260
I know our shots are pretty good
and it's better now than it ever

998
00:51:49,260 --> 00:51:52,700
will be because you have
existing appropriations that are

999
00:51:52,700 --> 00:51:56,300
available, like in the Texas
Water Development Board

1000
00:51:56,300 --> 00:51:58,500
funding that was allocated.

1001
00:51:58,500 --> 00:52:00,980
And then you have new
appropriations when

1002
00:52:00,980 --> 00:52:03,000
every time the
legislature gets together,

1003
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,860
they do these appropriations.

1004
00:52:05,860 --> 00:52:08,460
So that's the conversation
we need to have.

1005
00:52:08,460 --> 00:52:11,700
It's not too early to
start that conversation.

1006
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:15,020
It's important that as
the long term recovery,

1007
00:52:15,020 --> 00:52:18,900
identify what it is we need
and stand up and ask for it.

1008
00:52:18,900 --> 00:52:21,160
And that's kind of
my presentation.

1009
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:25,300
And what we want to do is be
a leader in this conversation

1010
00:52:25,300 --> 00:52:27,860
and be a model for
around the state.

1011
00:52:27,860 --> 00:52:30,780
So that's what we have
for you this evening.

1012
00:52:30,780 --> 00:52:31,560
Mayor and council.

1013
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,980
And we would enjoy y'all
involving us getting

1014
00:52:34,980 --> 00:52:36,820
involved in that conversation.

1015
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:41,180
A lot of energy, a lot of
people in the working groups.

1016
00:52:41,180 --> 00:52:44,500
And so we just want to go
forward with this discussion

1017
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:48,720
and want to get your input.

1018
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:51,500
First of all, thank you for you
and for what everyone's done.

1019
00:52:51,500 --> 00:52:55,680


1020
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,100
The flood broke my heart.

1021
00:52:57,100 --> 00:52:58,520
But then when I
saw the people that

1022
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:05,920
came to help and have continued
to help for months and months.

1023
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:10,760
It made me proud to be from
Kerrville, from Kerr County.

1024
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,940
I know that this is a big
ask, but I think you're right.

1025
00:53:14,940 --> 00:53:16,600
I think now is the time to ask.

1026
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:17,880
I agree with you.

1027
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:18,500
Thank you.

1028
00:53:18,500 --> 00:53:22,240
Any comments or questions
or just the 85.4

1029
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:25,520
does not include maintenance,
correct Yes, ma'am.

1030
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,120
Wouldn't have any idea.

1031
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,180
Well, you won't know until
you know how many sirens.

1032
00:53:29,180 --> 00:53:31,440
Correct but I can
give you a range.

1033
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,600
And that range would
involve if the number is 30,

1034
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,080
you take that math
and run it out

1035
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:38,960
and it would be
10% of that capital

1036
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,900
cost is what the guidance
has been from the engineers.

1037
00:53:42,900 --> 00:53:45,060
I get that right, Tara.

1038
00:53:45,060 --> 00:53:48,880
And then so if it's 22, then
it would be 10% of that number.

1039
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,980
So it depends on the number
you land on as to what

1040
00:53:50,980 --> 00:53:52,440
the actual cost would be.

1041
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:53,693
That's a good estimate.

1042
00:53:53,693 --> 00:53:54,360
Thank you very much.

1043
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,540
Yes ma'am.

1044
00:53:56,540 --> 00:53:57,280
Thank you.

1045
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,500


1046
00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:04,680
I think the work together group
is doing outstanding work.

1047
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:09,720
So as you pointed out,
appreciate their hard work.

1048
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:11,200
I know they put a
lot of time into it.

1049
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,020
So it's very much appreciated.

1050
00:54:14,020 --> 00:54:16,980
Thank you.

1051
00:54:16,980 --> 00:54:17,740
Thank you.

1052
00:54:17,740 --> 00:54:19,140
Thank you all of y'all.

1053
00:54:19,140 --> 00:54:21,400
I know y'all have put
in many, many hours.

1054
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,780


1055
00:54:23,780 --> 00:54:24,280
All right.

1056
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,300
Do you have any specific
questions for us

1057
00:54:26,300 --> 00:54:28,760
or specific guidance
you would like from us.

1058
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,700
Yeah if you could instruct your
management team to continue

1059
00:54:32,700 --> 00:54:34,440
the collaboration
and working with us,

1060
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,820
if you have specific thoughts or
questions later on, let us know.

1061
00:54:37,820 --> 00:54:40,520
And they're active on
all the working groups,

1062
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,680
and we've just been delighted
to work with you and your team.

1063
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:45,580
I will say this.

1064
00:54:45,580 --> 00:54:47,400
Congratulations
on being selected

1065
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:51,680
by the Texas city Management
Association for the honor

1066
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,280
that they gave you.

1067
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,240
And I can attest
to the fact coming

1068
00:54:55,240 --> 00:54:58,740
up here several times that
you guys are of that quality.

1069
00:54:58,740 --> 00:55:00,300
And I love working with you.

1070
00:55:00,300 --> 00:55:01,620
And we're here to help.

1071
00:55:01,620 --> 00:55:03,880
We're here to put our
shoulder to the wheel

1072
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,920
and make sure that the
second half of the game

1073
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,320
is as successful
as the first half.

1074
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,880
And again, it's going to
take everybody putting

1075
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,240
on that Jersey, everybody
pulling together

1076
00:55:13,240 --> 00:55:15,080
and sending those messages.

1077
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,540
We met with Senator Flores.

1078
00:55:16,540 --> 00:55:19,260
We met with
Representative Verdell.

1079
00:55:19,260 --> 00:55:21,680
And there'll be other senators
and other representatives

1080
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,740
who will need to meet with, and
we may need your help with that.

1081
00:55:24,740 --> 00:55:28,640
Certainly well, call
on me as needed.

1082
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,840
And I know city staff
has not only collaborated

1083
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,620
but led the way in many cases.

1084
00:55:33,620 --> 00:55:37,680
So thank you and thank you
for all being here tonight.

1085
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:38,460
Come any time.

1086
00:55:38,460 --> 00:55:40,360
We have it every two weeks.

1087
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:44,740
Great conditioned
air conditioning.

1088
00:55:44,740 --> 00:55:46,340
And thank you for
letting us be the sheep

1089
00:55:46,340 --> 00:55:48,940
thief that borrow MS Kelly.

1090
00:55:48,940 --> 00:55:50,200
She's been great.

1091
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:56,180


1092
00:55:56,180 --> 00:55:56,680
All right.

1093
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,980
Thank you very much.

1094
00:55:58,980 --> 00:56:02,580
Next item on the agenda is the
emergency management update.

1095
00:56:02,580 --> 00:56:04,720
Starting with Chief Maloney.

1096
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:07,460


1097
00:56:07,460 --> 00:56:08,160
Good evening.

1098
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:09,280
Or late afternoon.

1099
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,920
So pleasure to be here today.

1100
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,640
So I had a page flip
I was going to do,

1101
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,700
but I'm going to hold on
that and I'll do the Reader's

1102
00:56:14,700 --> 00:56:16,660
Digest version instead.

1103
00:56:16,660 --> 00:56:18,640
Today with me is Casey Goodman.

1104
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,740
So he's the emergency
management coordinator.

1105
00:56:20,740 --> 00:56:24,320
So you all do remember him
after July as being appointed.

1106
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,040
Got to meet him over there.

1107
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,060
And he's been instrumental
in some of the work

1108
00:56:28,060 --> 00:56:29,640
that we're doing moving forward.

1109
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,260
So tonight I want to
give you an update

1110
00:56:31,260 --> 00:56:33,460
on the emergency
management overview

1111
00:56:33,460 --> 00:56:34,800
of things we've been doing.

1112
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,140
This is a great
segue from what just

1113
00:56:37,140 --> 00:56:41,480
got discussed with the recovery,
and give you an idea of the work

1114
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,440
that we've been doing as part of
the public safety working group,

1115
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,800
and also on our own as
the city of Kerrville.

1116
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,080
One thing I want
to talk about is

1117
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,920
we're going to talk about
the flood prevention

1118
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,600
and some mitigation actions.

1119
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:55,900
And one of the things
I wanted to read,

1120
00:56:55,900 --> 00:56:57,320
because I really
like this, it came

1121
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,680
out of Emergency
Management basic plan

1122
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,600
concept of operations.

1123
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,200
And it says it's
our responsibility

1124
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,120
to protect public
health and safety

1125
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,120
and preserve property from the
effects of hazardous events.

1126
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,480
We have the primary role in
identifying and mitigating

1127
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,680
hazards, preparing for and
responding to and managing

1128
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,760
the recovery from
emergency situations

1129
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,760
that affect our community.

1130
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,000
And it is impossible
for the government

1131
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,600
to do everything that is
required to protect the lives

1132
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,660
and property of our population.

1133
00:57:24,660 --> 00:57:26,240
Our citizens have
the responsibility

1134
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,120
to prepare themselves
and their families

1135
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,120
to cope with
emergency situations

1136
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,800
and manage their
affairs and property

1137
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,680
in ways that will
aid the government

1138
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,180
in managing emergencies.

1139
00:57:35,180 --> 00:57:37,880
We will assist our
citizens in fulfilling

1140
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,620
these responsibilities
by providing

1141
00:57:39,620 --> 00:57:41,780
public information
and instructions prior

1142
00:57:41,780 --> 00:57:45,020
to and during
emergency situations.

1143
00:57:45,020 --> 00:57:48,060
And so I read that one of
the things we really worked

1144
00:57:48,060 --> 00:57:51,820
on come in post 4th of July.

1145
00:57:51,820 --> 00:57:54,380
Last April, we worked on
revising our emergency

1146
00:57:54,380 --> 00:57:56,780
management basic plan
and really working

1147
00:57:56,780 --> 00:57:59,220
on that with our
current best practices

1148
00:57:59,220 --> 00:58:01,340
and respective capacity.

1149
00:58:01,340 --> 00:58:03,440
So we're currently
in the process.

1150
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:07,500
We have revised the emergency
management emergency management

1151
00:58:07,500 --> 00:58:11,820
basic plan, and we're in the
process of revising our 22

1152
00:58:11,820 --> 00:58:16,060
different annexes that we have
as we transition to the FEMA

1153
00:58:16,060 --> 00:58:17,780
and the Texas
Department of Emergency

1154
00:58:17,780 --> 00:58:21,840
Management recognized the 15
emergency support functions.

1155
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:25,340
So we're consolidating
them to be more in line

1156
00:58:25,340 --> 00:58:29,140
with state and federal
responses out there.

1157
00:58:29,140 --> 00:58:32,180
We're doing some reviews
cases, been doing some yeoman's

1158
00:58:32,180 --> 00:58:35,020
work on that and trying
to get these work

1159
00:58:35,020 --> 00:58:37,500
together utilizing AI.

1160
00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:40,040
It's a big undertaking
to transition everything

1161
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:41,280
that's been in place.

1162
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,680
And then once we get that, we're
reviewing with key personnel

1163
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,240
on each annex and making
sure that they can do some

1164
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,940
of the tasks that
are asked of them,

1165
00:58:49,940 --> 00:58:53,000
or do we need to make
some adaptation to that.

1166
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,720
So this is going to
improve our framework

1167
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,540
and working plan
during emergency.

1168
00:58:56,540 --> 00:58:58,320
It's going to support
our community lifelines

1169
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,560
that we've talked about
since the total eclipse

1170
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,840
and prior to that.

1171
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:03,460
Number three.

1172
00:59:03,460 --> 00:59:06,720
So we did emergency
management review on June 2.

1173
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,440
Had an opportunity to
sit down with the mayor

1174
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:09,880
and the Mayor Pro tem.

1175
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,860
And we had a chance to review.

1176
00:59:11,860 --> 00:59:13,020
Actually, that's what that is.

1177
00:59:13,020 --> 00:59:16,700
That's the review that we did
and discussed the expectations,

1178
00:59:16,700 --> 00:59:20,080
the role of city council,
emergency management

1179
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,480
overview and the basic plan.

1180
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,880
We did this a year ago.

1181
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:29,460
June help me out,
Mayor 4th June 4th.

1182
00:59:29,460 --> 00:59:32,460
We sat down and did the
same overview prior to that,

1183
00:59:32,460 --> 00:59:34,860
not knowing what's
coming for there.

1184
00:59:34,860 --> 00:59:36,860
So that was a good review
and that's something

1185
00:59:36,860 --> 00:59:39,740
we will continue on
with future council

1186
00:59:39,740 --> 00:59:43,340
and making sure that we
stay up to date or annually.

1187
00:59:43,340 --> 00:59:46,140
Number 4, we've
created or have been

1188
00:59:46,140 --> 00:59:49,820
part of with yugra and
Taras leadership over there,

1189
00:59:49,820 --> 00:59:52,020
the public safety
flood working group.

1190
00:59:52,020 --> 00:59:55,580
So that working group is the
city of Kerrville emergency

1191
00:59:55,580 --> 00:59:58,540
management coordinator, the
Kerr County emergency management

1192
00:59:58,540 --> 01:00:01,420
coordinator, Kerrville fire
department, Kerrville police

1193
01:00:01,420 --> 01:00:04,780
department, Kerr County
Sheriff's Office, hunt volunteer

1194
01:00:04,780 --> 01:00:07,800
fire department, Ingram
volunteer fire department,

1195
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,600
center point volunteer
fire department,

1196
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,240
the Kerrville area rural
firefighters association,

1197
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,840
so these have come together.

1198
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,940
We came together last September
and really kind of did

1199
01:00:19,940 --> 01:00:21,500
a little brainstorming
on things we

1200
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:24,260
saw from the fourth
opportunities for improvement

1201
01:00:24,260 --> 01:00:27,160
and really collectively put
those together and said,

1202
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:28,980
here are some of the
framework of what

1203
01:00:28,980 --> 01:00:30,740
we want to do moving forward.

1204
01:00:30,740 --> 01:00:32,900
Out of that meeting,
we have been focusing

1205
01:00:32,900 --> 01:00:38,320
on six primary objectives
with 13 subobjectives

1206
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,760
and a lot of action
plans from there.

1207
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,200
So one of the things
we really worked on

1208
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:46,800
and the focus is enhancing
our flood notification process

1209
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:47,700
for public.

1210
01:00:47,700 --> 01:00:50,320
The city of Kerrville,
our inclement weather team

1211
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,580
that we have, and also
the public safety.

1212
01:00:52,580 --> 01:00:54,520
OK OK.

1213
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,900
So currently, we are
looking at some options.

1214
01:00:57,900 --> 01:01:00,720
And right now we
are in the works

1215
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:05,880
creating a MOU, which we have
one created for jam broadcasting

1216
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,100
to support community awareness
when events are occurring.

1217
01:01:10,100 --> 01:01:13,120
Bad weather to disasters.

1218
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,800
Now we're in the
process of identifying

1219
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:20,120
the best approach to
pushing those alerts out

1220
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:21,340
through their system.

1221
01:01:21,340 --> 01:01:23,300
So we're working on that
aspect of it right now.

1222
01:01:23,300 --> 01:01:26,520
So the other one is going to be
the ranch radio marketing group.

1223
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,320
We're working with them
getting an MOU in place

1224
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,000
and identifying some
of that going forward.

1225
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:36,300
Additionally, we are also
working on keeping our staff.

1226
01:01:36,300 --> 01:01:39,940
That's fire police department
and Sheriff's Department.

1227
01:01:39,940 --> 01:01:45,100
Those lieutenants and
captains out there

1228
01:01:45,100 --> 01:01:48,460
situationally aware in
the times that they need.

1229
01:01:48,460 --> 01:01:51,400
So we're using what
they call active 901.

1230
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:56,140
It's a alerting device that we
use in the field that will give

1231
01:01:56,140 --> 01:01:59,260
us information on
calls and information

1232
01:01:59,260 --> 01:02:01,480
that pertains to
whatever the issue is.

1233
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,820
And we can establish that
through a team's process

1234
01:02:04,820 --> 01:02:06,040
where we group them together.

1235
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,220
So they're the only ones that
are receiving to get their crews

1236
01:02:09,220 --> 01:02:12,260
in place and to be
prepared and do whatever

1237
01:02:12,260 --> 01:02:15,380
the situation may be, so that
that's in the process of working

1238
01:02:15,380 --> 01:02:16,380
forward.

1239
01:02:16,380 --> 01:02:20,460
Again, we are looking
at campaigns to I think,

1240
01:02:20,460 --> 01:02:21,160
4th of July.

1241
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,180
We're talking about setting
up a QR code for people

1242
01:02:25,180 --> 01:02:31,480
to sign up through the rave and
possibly the code red stuff,

1243
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:35,200
but I won't speak on the
County stuff, but some of that

1244
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,280
might be adjusted going forward.

1245
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:39,680
Just so they're aware.

1246
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:41,920
And create a distribution list.

1247
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,540
So when situations occur,
especially in the foot,

1248
01:02:45,540 --> 01:02:48,760
say 4th of July, we
have that ability

1249
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,820
to be situationally aware and
see what's going on with that.

1250
01:02:51,820 --> 01:02:57,960
So within our group
we've also developed

1251
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,460
some multilingual alerts.

1252
01:03:00,460 --> 01:03:03,060
So it's not just an English.

1253
01:03:03,060 --> 01:03:07,700
It's a very diverse
alerting system.

1254
01:03:07,700 --> 01:03:12,520
So everybody should be able to
be reached at some point in time

1255
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,760
and understand what's going on.

1256
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,980
And then when we talk
about internally,

1257
01:03:16,980 --> 01:03:19,440
we look at the
inclement weather team.

1258
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:25,720
We have a main and a core
and essentially anytime

1259
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:26,920
and we're still
working through this

1260
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:28,060
and we're going to refine it.

1261
01:03:28,060 --> 01:03:31,580
But right now I update
the inclement weather team

1262
01:03:31,580 --> 01:03:35,140
on watches and warnings
within our area.

1263
01:03:35,140 --> 01:03:40,260
And so right now, if something
comes to me through the state,

1264
01:03:40,260 --> 01:03:45,940
I just alert the crew, the team
to let them hey, this could be

1265
01:03:45,940 --> 01:03:47,700
or this is happening.

1266
01:03:47,700 --> 01:03:50,740
Just be prepared if we
have to open the EOC.

1267
01:03:50,740 --> 01:03:53,240
So we set up a time
periods in the evening,

1268
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,220
in the morning that we
might do a Teams meeting

1269
01:03:55,220 --> 01:03:58,740
or if we do a full
activation we'll pass

1270
01:03:58,740 --> 01:04:00,880
that information on as needed.

1271
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,380
And it's really going to be
dependent on the severity of the

1272
01:04:03,380 --> 01:04:05,680
issue or the disaster at hand.

1273
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:09,547
So working through that, just
trying to identify some of that

1274
01:04:09,547 --> 01:04:10,680
and then how we're
going to do it,

1275
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:11,640
are we going to
do it in a hybrid.

1276
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,307
Are we going to be a partial
opening or it's going

1277
01:04:13,307 --> 01:04:14,160
to be a full opening.

1278
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,200
And those are based on
the levels of activation.

1279
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,120
And that's usually A1
through four level.

1280
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:24,340
And then we get
situation reports

1281
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:26,740
through that to the
inclement weather team

1282
01:04:26,740 --> 01:04:28,440
as things change and update.

1283
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,860
So everybody's still
being situationally aware.

1284
01:04:30,860 --> 01:04:34,880
And so we try to be as
efficient as possible.

1285
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,960
And something new we're
looking at and working through

1286
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:42,020
dispatch because they are
awake at 24 hours a day.

1287
01:04:42,020 --> 01:04:47,040
So we have that ability
to push out notifications

1288
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:50,040
with through the National
Weather Service of major events

1289
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:51,800
or storms may be coming in.

1290
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,480
So when we are
asleep, we still are

1291
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:58,760
being active in that
approach to being

1292
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,140
that situational awareness.

1293
01:05:00,140 --> 01:05:03,920
So a lot of that's
coming down the chute

1294
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:08,280
and we're still working,
but we're seeing that light

1295
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,260
at the end of the tunnel.

1296
01:05:09,260 --> 01:05:12,080
So we are making
progress and trying

1297
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:18,240
to make sure that going forward,
our community is aware and alert

1298
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,680
and feel safe and comfortable.

1299
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,440
So it's great.

1300
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,840
So we've also been working on
developing a flood response

1301
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,140
standard operating guidelines.

1302
01:05:30,140 --> 01:05:34,700
Each individual public Safety
Agency has provided a guideline

1303
01:05:34,700 --> 01:05:36,320
for situational awareness.

1304
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,220
So these are four or
five things they would

1305
01:05:38,220 --> 01:05:42,540
do in a Warning and a watch or
a watch a Warning and emergency

1306
01:05:42,540 --> 01:05:44,240
flood stages different things.

1307
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,900
And the situational awareness
helps us as emergency management

1308
01:05:47,900 --> 01:05:51,040
because now I know what
Engram should be doing.

1309
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,200
So it's not their full
plan, not a procedure,

1310
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:54,800
but it does give us an idea.

1311
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,480
So it keeps us all
on the same page.

1312
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,860
It keeps us working
together out there.

1313
01:05:59,860 --> 01:06:01,740
We are working on
a flood emergency

1314
01:06:01,740 --> 01:06:03,540
action plan development.

1315
01:06:03,540 --> 01:06:06,740
Waterway engineering is
developing that for us.

1316
01:06:06,740 --> 01:06:09,380
We actually are meeting
with them tomorrow

1317
01:06:09,380 --> 01:06:11,860
for a final draft review.

1318
01:06:11,860 --> 01:06:15,000
We made some adjustments
to that and work on there.

1319
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,940
So the emergency action plan
is more specific actions

1320
01:06:17,940 --> 01:06:21,760
and defines responsibilities
for various disasters.

1321
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,500
So this is specific to
floods is what this one is.

1322
01:06:25,500 --> 01:06:29,280
So we're the basic plan is the
overarching for the emergency

1323
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,960
management, and then we have the
annexes or the emergency support

1324
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,820
function groups individually
for firefighting,

1325
01:06:35,820 --> 01:06:37,200
police, whatever it may be.

1326
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,280
But this one is going to be more
specific of what we're doing

1327
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,180
procedural wise and what we need
to do, what Casey needs to do,

1328
01:06:44,180 --> 01:06:44,900
what I need to do.

1329
01:06:44,900 --> 01:06:48,360
Police Chief so so
it's quite a document

1330
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:49,380
and working through that.

1331
01:06:49,380 --> 01:06:52,180
So we've done the page flip
and then we get with them.

1332
01:06:52,180 --> 01:06:54,820
It's also going to include our
Independent School district.

1333
01:06:54,820 --> 01:06:58,940
So we've also received their
severe weather annexes.

1334
01:06:58,940 --> 01:07:00,200
And keeping those
up to date they're

1335
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:01,580
required to provide them.

1336
01:07:01,580 --> 01:07:04,440
So we're keeping
those in a repository

1337
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,600
and a place that will be noted
in there where we can go also

1338
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,460
includes the camp
emergency plans.

1339
01:07:09,460 --> 01:07:11,740
They're also required to
get emergency management.

1340
01:07:11,740 --> 01:07:14,240
So once again, we'll
be putting a repository

1341
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:15,380
for the city and the County.

1342
01:07:15,380 --> 01:07:18,080
So we can also see
their emergency plans.

1343
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,840
So in the moment
we're having something

1344
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:22,820
we don't need to call and
find out what they're doing.

1345
01:07:22,820 --> 01:07:24,060
We know what they're doing now.

1346
01:07:24,060 --> 01:07:28,320
Are they doing it more
importantly from there.

1347
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,120
So we're working on
a tabletop exercise.

1348
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,540
So the Texas Institute for
hazard risk and readiness.

1349
01:07:34,540 --> 01:07:36,120
So I got it.

1350
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,140
So in fall of 26 I'm on the
board for that and honor

1351
01:07:39,140 --> 01:07:40,580
to be a part of that.

1352
01:07:40,580 --> 01:07:42,540
So we're working on
some opportunities

1353
01:07:42,540 --> 01:07:44,840
there to really test the system.

1354
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:46,800
So really excited about this.

1355
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,140
This is really big
for our community

1356
01:07:49,140 --> 01:07:53,620
to be able to have this
level, this Institute here

1357
01:07:53,620 --> 01:07:54,640
in Kerrville.

1358
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,880
So really excited
about that one.

1359
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,780
And we have our first
kickoff meeting,

1360
01:07:58,780 --> 01:08:01,840
I believe 19, 18th or 19th.

1361
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:03,080
So we'll be getting together.

1362
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:04,380
So excited for that.

1363
01:08:04,380 --> 01:08:06,620
Number seven we're going to
provide citizen education

1364
01:08:06,620 --> 01:08:07,840
for flood emergencies.

1365
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,140
So we're working.

1366
01:08:09,140 --> 01:08:11,860
Once we get some
of these objectives

1367
01:08:11,860 --> 01:08:15,220
completed we're going to
be engaging with our PIOs

1368
01:08:15,220 --> 01:08:19,220
out there for social media
press releases with the media

1369
01:08:19,220 --> 01:08:21,960
outlets, some community
education programs.

1370
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,120
You'll see to a lot of
that waterway engineering

1371
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:26,380
that is with Ujiri.

1372
01:08:26,380 --> 01:08:29,399
There also they have a
public education campaign

1373
01:08:29,399 --> 01:08:32,640
that was one of the really
positive things with them also.

1374
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,600
So that's exciting
out there for us.

1375
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:39,520
Number 8, where is the decision
making emergency action

1376
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:40,859
plan flowchart.

1377
01:08:40,859 --> 01:08:42,460
So this is before the flood.

1378
01:08:42,460 --> 01:08:45,080
So we have created
emergency action

1379
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,260
plan flowchart with thresholds.

1380
01:08:47,260 --> 01:08:49,240
That is in that plan.

1381
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:50,899
We revised that.

1382
01:08:50,899 --> 01:08:53,359
One of the biggest
challenges we're having is

1383
01:08:53,359 --> 01:08:55,420
balancing watches and warnings.

1384
01:08:55,420 --> 01:08:56,800
Emergencies is easy.

1385
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,080
But how do we balance
some of those.

1386
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:01,200
How do we get the
right notification

1387
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:02,560
and put the right
amount of pressure

1388
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:03,899
out there so people know.

1389
01:09:03,899 --> 01:09:05,760
So we don't put everything.

1390
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:07,700
Everything comes through the
National Weather Service.

1391
01:09:07,700 --> 01:09:08,960
I receive that now.

1392
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,500
What is the next level when
you need to receive that.

1393
01:09:11,500 --> 01:09:13,760
And so we're really
working on that.

1394
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:15,760
We're focusing on
three levels of flood

1395
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,359
emergencies is how
we're looking at this

1396
01:09:18,359 --> 01:09:20,080
and taking this approach.

1397
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,540
The dashboard all the
predictive models,

1398
01:09:22,540 --> 01:09:24,100
the data that goes in there.

1399
01:09:24,100 --> 01:09:27,140
In the end, we have to make
a determination of what

1400
01:09:27,140 --> 01:09:29,080
information is going to
be shared with the public,

1401
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,120
with public safety.

1402
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,700
Our city, our County
staff and make

1403
01:09:32,700 --> 01:09:35,380
a decision on what we're going
to do as emergency management

1404
01:09:35,380 --> 01:09:36,700
out there.

1405
01:09:36,700 --> 01:09:41,319
Each of those levels can trigger
the EOC activation at some form.

1406
01:09:41,319 --> 01:09:44,200
So we have four levels of that
with our normal conditions.

1407
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,399
So we have our
virtual or hybrid.

1408
01:09:46,399 --> 01:09:49,180
We have a partial we have
a full activation of course

1409
01:09:49,180 --> 01:09:50,760
last fourth was a full.

1410
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,820
You've seen the other disasters
that myself and chief McCall

1411
01:09:53,820 --> 01:09:54,320
have worked.

1412
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,660
We've had partial
in some of those.

1413
01:09:56,660 --> 01:09:59,740
It all kind of depends
on the disaster.

1414
01:09:59,740 --> 01:10:02,720
We've worked on mass
communication training.

1415
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:07,600
So using our rave, which is the
one we use internally for that.

1416
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:12,740
Out out of that company, rave
mobile's solutions I believe

1417
01:10:12,740 --> 01:10:14,980
is the name of the company.

1418
01:10:14,980 --> 01:10:18,520
We have an ability from there
to push out an AI pulse message.

1419
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,900
Ipaws message is what
you receive on your phone

1420
01:10:20,900 --> 01:10:22,180
from National Weather Service.

1421
01:10:22,180 --> 01:10:23,900
Same concept, same thing.

1422
01:10:23,900 --> 01:10:25,940
Geofenced area that
actually goes out.

1423
01:10:25,940 --> 01:10:29,680
So we tested those back in
March during the public safety

1424
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:30,620
facility opening.

1425
01:10:30,620 --> 01:10:31,620
At the opening.

1426
01:10:31,620 --> 01:10:33,680
We tested that so
the whole state did.

1427
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,660
And then working
through some of that.

1428
01:10:35,660 --> 01:10:39,440
Since then, we have
TAVI and her team

1429
01:10:39,440 --> 01:10:41,380
and us and police department.

1430
01:10:41,380 --> 01:10:43,760
We completed training
for our dispatchers

1431
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,900
and key fire and police,
emergency operations staff,

1432
01:10:47,900 --> 01:10:49,220
so on how to use it.

1433
01:10:49,220 --> 01:10:52,440
And then we're really making
sure that our flow chart is

1434
01:10:52,440 --> 01:10:56,080
developed so we can
provide them the ability

1435
01:10:56,080 --> 01:11:00,080
to make those decisions without
saying, I got to call the chief.

1436
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:01,580
So in the middle of the night.

1437
01:11:01,580 --> 01:11:02,740
So what is that.

1438
01:11:02,740 --> 01:11:04,640
What are those decisions
markers for that

1439
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,060
so they can get that
notification out through IPAWS.

1440
01:11:07,060 --> 01:11:09,180
If it's emergency call us later.

1441
01:11:09,180 --> 01:11:11,100
And then we work from there.

1442
01:11:11,100 --> 01:11:12,480
Work with the city
manager, the mayor

1443
01:11:12,480 --> 01:11:15,980
the Mayor Pro tem
for their ninth.

1444
01:11:15,980 --> 01:11:18,580
We're operational
response and field action.

1445
01:11:18,580 --> 01:11:20,260
So this is during the flood.

1446
01:11:20,260 --> 01:11:22,240
I talked a little
bit about river hub.

1447
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,460
We've been working
diligently with them.

1448
01:11:24,460 --> 01:11:28,180
Great This is great
situational awareness

1449
01:11:28,180 --> 01:11:29,080
that they're going to have.

1450
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,440
It's going to have a
dashboard for public safety.

1451
01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:33,720
And there's also a
public version for that.

1452
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,820
It'll provide Intel
for precipitation

1453
01:11:35,820 --> 01:11:39,940
modeling, flood gauges, low
water crossings, road closures.

1454
01:11:39,940 --> 01:11:41,600
So we look at that now.

1455
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,260
We've been testing that
system for the last few months

1456
01:11:44,260 --> 01:11:48,340
during rain events to see how
much rainfall we've been getting

1457
01:11:48,340 --> 01:11:50,300
whether there's a
rise in the river

1458
01:11:50,300 --> 01:11:52,560
and just trying to
continue to monitor that.

1459
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,360
So, so great work there.

1460
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,580
That's coming real close to
being able to see we're using it

1461
01:11:57,580 --> 01:11:58,940
now, but we're at
the Public Safety

1462
01:11:58,940 --> 01:12:00,620
and the public for that one.

1463
01:12:00,620 --> 01:12:02,400
Actually, I think the
public is released.

1464
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:03,760
Yes it is.

1465
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,340
There we go.

1466
01:12:05,340 --> 01:12:07,420
I do remember that.

1467
01:12:07,420 --> 01:12:10,820
And then we're working on
the notification process

1468
01:12:10,820 --> 01:12:15,300
for public safety agencies with
our standard operating guideline

1469
01:12:15,300 --> 01:12:17,620
actions based on flood data.

1470
01:12:17,620 --> 01:12:19,740
So we're trying to
determine there.

1471
01:12:19,740 --> 01:12:22,600
When do we need to give that.

1472
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,760
Chief Goodman talked
about that a little bit in

1473
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:28,600
regards to how we notify and
how we're going to notify.

1474
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,760
Chief McCall and
his team are working

1475
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:34,000
through that dispatch
process for those that

1476
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,860
can get that information
to us at o'clock

1477
01:12:35,860 --> 01:12:37,480
o'clock in the morning.

1478
01:12:37,480 --> 01:12:39,880
For that number 10
system validation

1479
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,400
and continuous improvement,
this is after the flood.

1480
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:43,560
Probably there'll
be a functional

1481
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,060
exercise in spring of 2027.

1482
01:12:46,060 --> 01:12:48,960
And we'll be coordinating with
T or TCS or another agency

1483
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:50,340
to be able to provide that.

1484
01:12:50,340 --> 01:12:52,280
You bring in outside
facilitators for that

1485
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:56,040
and test the system
that we put in place.

1486
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,060
Last but not least,
so the EOC design.

1487
01:12:58,060 --> 01:13:00,240
So with our new public
safety facility.

1488
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,920
So we have an ability to have
an emergency operations center

1489
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:04,020
that's not a training room.

1490
01:13:04,020 --> 01:13:04,780
Did appreciate.

1491
01:13:04,780 --> 01:13:05,560
Thank you chief.

1492
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,660
So however this has
more capabilities.

1493
01:13:08,660 --> 01:13:10,380
So that's what it was designed.

1494
01:13:10,380 --> 01:13:11,180
That's the plan.

1495
01:13:11,180 --> 01:13:14,380
When we worked on this together
with the public safety facility,

1496
01:13:14,380 --> 01:13:17,680
we came up with ideas that
would make sense for us,

1497
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:18,520
for Kerrville.

1498
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,760
And how we would staff that.

1499
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:25,980
So we've been coordinating with
it the GIS Joshua Young coming

1500
01:13:25,980 --> 01:13:27,460
up with some different
things that we

1501
01:13:27,460 --> 01:13:30,460
can provide and have in
there, have at our fingertips.

1502
01:13:30,460 --> 01:13:33,220
So if we need it, we
can have it on display.

1503
01:13:33,220 --> 01:13:37,500
This really also streamlined
our EOC staff based on the flood

1504
01:13:37,500 --> 01:13:38,800
and then the new facility.

1505
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:42,600
So we can actually expand the
incident to what we would need.

1506
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:44,480
So there is that capacity there.

1507
01:13:44,480 --> 01:13:46,920
So that's another
exciting component.

1508
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:48,980
And that also
brought us to our EOC

1509
01:13:48,980 --> 01:13:52,640
organization chart and staffing
plan and executive group.

1510
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:54,620
So those are things that
we were able to work

1511
01:13:54,620 --> 01:13:57,280
on knowing what we
have in the facility,

1512
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,420
knowing what seats
we would want.

1513
01:13:59,420 --> 01:14:01,760
Definitely putting it to
the test on the fourth,

1514
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,720
and we had a trial run a year
prior with the total eclipse.

1515
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:07,260
So we're going to put
some things to the test

1516
01:14:07,260 --> 01:14:09,020
and real excited about that.

1517
01:14:09,020 --> 01:14:10,680
And that is all we have.

1518
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:12,900
But this is a team effort.

1519
01:14:12,900 --> 01:14:14,220
Can't agree more.

1520
01:14:14,220 --> 01:14:15,080
Got to love Kerrville.

1521
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:16,280
Got to love Kerr County.

1522
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:18,000
I'm proud to be here,
proud to be a part of this

1523
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:18,980
and be a part of those.

1524
01:14:18,980 --> 01:14:22,720
And thank you for being
part of the Institute

1525
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:24,680
and great things are coming.

1526
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,320
We're in the I like that
we're in the first half.

1527
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:28,100
Second half.

1528
01:14:28,100 --> 01:14:31,880
So questions for myself
for chief Goodman.

1529
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:35,800
Questions no thank you
for that's a lot of work.

1530
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,320
Thank you very much.

1531
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:38,460
Much needed work.

1532
01:14:38,460 --> 01:14:44,160
And kudos to what you
already did on the fourth.

1533
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:46,680
And now it's going to be even
will be even more prepared

1534
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,020
if there is such a thing.

1535
01:14:48,020 --> 01:14:49,480
So thank you very much.

1536
01:14:49,480 --> 01:14:52,240
Welcome, Jeff.

1537
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:56,240
You started with the
same opening remarks

1538
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:58,540
that you started with the
mayor myself last week.

1539
01:14:58,540 --> 01:15:01,760
So it's that hits home.

1540
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:06,000
There's only so much
that y'all can do.

1541
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,520
And it needs to be a
responsibility of everybody

1542
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,840
in the community when we start.

1543
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,640
Hopefully, we never have
to go down that road again.

1544
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,340
That's the goal.

1545
01:15:15,340 --> 01:15:18,500
But thank you all so much.

1546
01:15:18,500 --> 01:15:19,080
Yes, sir.

1547
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,940


1548
01:15:21,940 --> 01:15:25,900
Oh, that's so much
to absorb so quick.

1549
01:15:25,900 --> 01:15:27,820
Not sure I understood
all that, but it's

1550
01:15:27,820 --> 01:15:29,020
pretty impressive,
all the things

1551
01:15:29,020 --> 01:15:30,620
that you're going through.

1552
01:15:30,620 --> 01:15:32,260
And that's nice.

1553
01:15:32,260 --> 01:15:35,420
I have one question about so
the County has an emergency

1554
01:15:35,420 --> 01:15:36,840
coordinator as well.

1555
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,560
How much coordination is going
between the city and the County,

1556
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:40,700
for example.

1557
01:15:40,700 --> 01:15:44,740
So now that we have
a new coordinator,

1558
01:15:44,740 --> 01:15:48,380
we're working together,
not like we were working

1559
01:15:48,380 --> 01:15:50,860
together when I came in.

1560
01:15:50,860 --> 01:15:52,660
It's gotten better.

1561
01:15:52,660 --> 01:15:55,780
A lot of good communication
between us both.

1562
01:15:55,780 --> 01:15:59,180
He comes from the
state, so he's got

1563
01:15:59,180 --> 01:16:02,260
some good ideas and some good
processes, some good contacts.

1564
01:16:02,260 --> 01:16:06,780
So it's really just it's our
relationship is a lot stronger

1565
01:16:06,780 --> 01:16:08,000
than it has been in the past.

1566
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:09,200
And I think going forward.

1567
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:10,780
It's going to get even better.

1568
01:16:10,780 --> 01:16:13,280
They're willing to
work and share ideas.

1569
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:14,340
So that's good.

1570
01:16:14,340 --> 01:16:17,520
Well, the state
experience is really good.

1571
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:21,720
So he was our he was our County
CLO, which is our liaison

1572
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,860
officer for us for the State.

1573
01:16:23,860 --> 01:16:29,320
And so he brings some
knowledge and some.

1574
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:34,200
So anyway, that
main thing is I know

1575
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:35,960
he'll be in our he'll
be with us tomorrow

1576
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:39,820
in our EAP to work on that.

1577
01:16:39,820 --> 01:16:40,600
So all right.

1578
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,540
Great thanks, Steve.

1579
01:16:43,540 --> 01:16:47,760


1580
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:53,400
So all this was excuse
me related to weather,

1581
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:59,520
but you were speaking to
knowing the school districts do

1582
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:04,960
or what your other first
responders are doing.

1583
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,360
Ingram volunteer
fire departments

1584
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,660
are you doing is
I would presume,

1585
01:17:09,660 --> 01:17:16,460
but other if it's a one time
incident to prop up an EOC,

1586
01:17:16,460 --> 01:17:21,300
is all of that same
of what you just said.

1587
01:17:21,300 --> 01:17:24,240
Yes so we open up the
emergency operations center.

1588
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:25,780
The city of Kerrville did.

1589
01:17:25,780 --> 01:17:28,020
So if we open up that
and if it's a flood

1590
01:17:28,020 --> 01:17:29,920
emergency, obviously
if it's in the city,

1591
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,220
it's going to be in the County.

1592
01:17:31,220 --> 01:17:33,960
So yes, we would be
working directly with them.

1593
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:37,160
The school districts is really
one of those that benefits us,

1594
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,960
because at least we know
some of their action.

1595
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:41,320
Or if schools open.

1596
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:42,440
Of course, in session.

1597
01:17:42,440 --> 01:17:45,300
But we could talk to them if
they're doing routes and stuff.

1598
01:17:45,300 --> 01:17:46,680
So yes.

1599
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:48,760
So we're working closely
for some of those.

1600
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:49,360
OK perfect.

1601
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:50,540
If that answers the question.

1602
01:17:50,540 --> 01:17:51,620
Yes thank you.

1603
01:17:51,620 --> 01:17:53,180
Great mayor.

1604
01:17:53,180 --> 01:17:58,580
Chief and Maloney and
division chief Goodman.

1605
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,100
Both the police Chiefs
that are here tonight.

1606
01:18:01,100 --> 01:18:03,940
I've really come to
rely on all of you.

1607
01:18:03,940 --> 01:18:04,900
Thank you.

1608
01:18:04,900 --> 01:18:08,320
The communication was
good before July four,

1609
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:09,740
but it's much better now.

1610
01:18:09,740 --> 01:18:12,200
So thank you.

1611
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:16,560
I think the thing that has
been misunderstood, especially

1612
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,960
among some of our state
leaders, is we had a plan

1613
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,240
and we followed that plan.

1614
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,780
And at least within
the city of Kerrville,

1615
01:18:24,780 --> 01:18:30,200
that plan was followed to
the best of our ability

1616
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,040
given the circumstances.

1617
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,140
I like also that
we've mentioned,

1618
01:18:35,140 --> 01:18:41,660
hey, people within
911 are our dispatch.

1619
01:18:41,660 --> 01:18:44,360
They're awake 24/7.

1620
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,520
So there doesn't have to be
someone awake to say yes.

1621
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:48,380
Push the button.

1622
01:18:48,380 --> 01:18:51,560
They have the authority
to act before they can

1623
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:54,360
roust us out of our slumber.

1624
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:55,060
So that's.

1625
01:18:55,060 --> 01:18:56,200
That's good.

1626
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:59,000
I noticed that
the new basic plan

1627
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:03,600
has improvements over the plan
that was in effect on July four.

1628
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,760
So thank you for your
hard work on that.

1629
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,540
But personally, I rely on you.

1630
01:19:09,540 --> 01:19:12,940
I rely on your departments,
and I appreciate everything

1631
01:19:12,940 --> 01:19:17,760
that you've done to help
not only guide this council,

1632
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:20,100
but to make the
citizens of Kerrville

1633
01:19:20,100 --> 01:19:23,660
safer and better
prepared for whatever

1634
01:19:23,660 --> 01:19:26,820
emergency may come our way.

1635
01:19:26,820 --> 01:19:28,720
So thank you very kindly
for all you've done.

1636
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,080
It's our honor, our privilege
to serve our community.

1637
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:33,300
So absolutely.

1638
01:19:33,300 --> 01:19:34,540
Thank you, thank you.

1639
01:19:34,540 --> 01:19:35,080
All right.

1640
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:35,600
Thank you.

1641
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,940


1642
01:19:39,940 --> 01:19:46,300
All right, Lois street
tank update Mr. Burrow,

1643
01:19:46,300 --> 01:19:48,320
I'll be real brief on this one.

1644
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:49,900
I know we've got
council coming up,

1645
01:19:49,900 --> 01:19:52,460
but this is a project
that we've talked

1646
01:19:52,460 --> 01:19:53,880
about for a number of years.

1647
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,200
This started off back in 2020.

1648
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,340
We got concurrence from 20 from
the water development board

1649
01:19:59,340 --> 01:20:01,940
in 23 for funding assistance.

1650
01:20:01,940 --> 01:20:04,660
And then with that
comes a review period.

1651
01:20:04,660 --> 01:20:05,640
Design was complete.

1652
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,840
We took about a year to get
water development Waterville

1653
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,100
board review completed in.

1654
01:20:10,100 --> 01:20:12,200
So that is actually
currently bidding.

1655
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,420
We're going to get the
bids in first part of July.

1656
01:20:14,420 --> 01:20:16,680
Now we're looking at July 1.

1657
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:21,080
Hope is that we get good
bids, get good contractors.

1658
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:22,840
Bring that to you in
the second meeting

1659
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:24,700
in July, first
meeting in August,

1660
01:20:24,700 --> 01:20:25,980
depending on what we need.

1661
01:20:25,980 --> 01:20:29,960
Get that project started around
the early September time frame.

1662
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:31,260
It's going to take about a year.

1663
01:20:31,260 --> 01:20:35,220
And a half, so it would be
complete in December of 27.

1664
01:20:35,220 --> 01:20:36,860
So we just want to
give a brief update.

1665
01:20:36,860 --> 01:20:38,280
Mayor, I know you
and I have talked

1666
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:39,700
about that a number of times.

1667
01:20:39,700 --> 01:20:43,420
So that's just why I'm here, is
to let the status of that one.

1668
01:20:43,420 --> 01:20:44,500
Any questions.

1669
01:20:44,500 --> 01:20:47,880
I think the boat was stuck
on a sandbar for a while

1670
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:51,760
and a little nudge from
state representatives

1671
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,020
and State Senator helped
us out a little bit.

1672
01:20:54,020 --> 01:20:55,280
Yes yeah.

1673
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:59,680
The irony in that is, not.

1674
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:04,800
Yeah we'll just
leave it at that.

1675
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:09,300
I appreciate it I drive by
that water tank every day.

1676
01:21:09,300 --> 01:21:11,280
And so that's probably
why it's on my mind.

1677
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:12,960
I grew up near that water tank.

1678
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:16,300
That water tank was there when
I was at Starkey elementary.

1679
01:21:16,300 --> 01:21:18,260
OK yes.

1680
01:21:18,260 --> 01:21:21,940
Starkey elementary existed
when I was a child.

1681
01:21:21,940 --> 01:21:23,680
We still have the
original receipt.

1682
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:28,980
Yeah it was opened in 1948, and
I was born in 61, so never mind.

1683
01:21:28,980 --> 01:21:30,260
Here's the thing.

1684
01:21:30,260 --> 01:21:31,320
It needs to be done.

1685
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:33,080
I'm glad we're getting
past some hurdles.

1686
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,020
Thank you for being persistent.

1687
01:21:35,020 --> 01:21:37,980
And hopefully, we'll
have some good bids

1688
01:21:37,980 --> 01:21:39,700
and we can get to work.

1689
01:21:39,700 --> 01:21:41,600
I appreciate your
persistence on that.

1690
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,860
Any comments or questions.

1691
01:21:43,860 --> 01:21:44,360
All right.

1692
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:45,500
Thank you.

1693
01:21:45,500 --> 01:21:47,700
Thank you.

1694
01:21:47,700 --> 01:21:52,420
Next is city council liaison
and interview team selections.

1695
01:21:52,420 --> 01:21:55,360
For those of you
playing along at home.

1696
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,180


1697
01:21:58,180 --> 01:21:59,880
City council serves.

1698
01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:05,440
Members of the Council serve on
various committees and boards

1699
01:22:05,440 --> 01:22:11,480
and it has been my habit
to assign those committees

1700
01:22:11,480 --> 01:22:13,400
based on seniority.

1701
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:15,040
Current seniority.

1702
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:16,220
Not in my case.

1703
01:22:16,220 --> 01:22:19,960
I don't get to count when
I was first on in 1990,

1704
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:21,960
it's this current council.

1705
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,360
I was elected to this
current council in 2022

1706
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:29,160
Mr. Harris was
elected in 2023 Mr.

1707
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,680
McKinney was elected in 2024.

1708
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:37,520
He was part of the group that
appointed Mr. Chairman in 2024.

1709
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,560
And MS Smith is
our newest person.

1710
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:46,160
So what I would like to do
is go through the committees.

1711
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:50,040
The ones that I
will serve on are

1712
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:55,240
the current economic
Development Corporation and CFPB

1713
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:56,940
and the public
facility corporation,

1714
01:22:56,940 --> 01:22:59,520
which we just had tonight.

1715
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:04,740
The next person in line to
select a position would be Mr.

1716
01:23:04,740 --> 01:23:10,820
Harris Mr. Harris, I would
like to stay on Playhouse 2000,

1717
01:23:10,820 --> 01:23:15,700
continue to be the liaison
for planning and zoning.

1718
01:23:15,700 --> 01:23:18,860
And I would like to add
myself as the liaison

1719
01:23:18,860 --> 01:23:21,620
for parks and recreation.

1720
01:23:21,620 --> 01:23:22,900
Sounds good.

1721
01:23:22,900 --> 01:23:25,900
Next would be Mr. McKinney.

1722
01:23:25,900 --> 01:23:34,180
Well, then he's on to the
airport board on the EIC.

1723
01:23:34,180 --> 01:23:37,960
I would like to continue that.

1724
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:45,460
And I'm bend with
Councilman Councilwoman

1725
01:23:45,460 --> 01:23:47,840
segerman on the recovery
community coalition.

1726
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:51,760
I'm willing to
continue to do that.

1727
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:55,700
Thank you Mr. Chairman.

1728
01:23:55,700 --> 01:23:58,380
I would like to
just keep I would

1729
01:23:58,380 --> 01:24:00,820
like to stay on the recovery
coalition committee.

1730
01:24:00,820 --> 01:24:03,560
I believe the newest
addition was the Texas

1731
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:05,760
Commission on the arts.

1732
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,660
I'm actually the chair
of that, so never mind.

1733
01:24:08,660 --> 01:24:11,540
We're currently serving on
the cultural arts district,

1734
01:24:11,540 --> 01:24:15,520
on the arts committee and the
Downtown advisory committee Yes

1735
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:17,440
Would you like to stay on those.

1736
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:21,620
Plus, there's no
plus, I don't think.

1737
01:24:21,620 --> 01:24:22,140
No plus.

1738
01:24:22,140 --> 01:24:25,880
And we can give you
a bonus to remain on.

1739
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:31,560
To remain on the recovery
community coalition MS Smith,

1740
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:35,900
you are currently
serving on the ters.

1741
01:24:35,900 --> 01:24:37,300
Number one, would you continue.

1742
01:24:37,300 --> 01:24:39,000
Would you be willing to serve.

1743
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:39,620
Yes, sir.

1744
01:24:39,620 --> 01:24:42,480


1745
01:24:42,480 --> 01:24:44,380
And you can say no to these.

1746
01:24:44,380 --> 01:24:54,080
But Brenda Hughes, given her
experience in the food service

1747
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:57,140
industry, served on the
food service advisory board,

1748
01:24:57,140 --> 01:24:59,560
would you be
interested in that one.

1749
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:04,060
Yes way to go.

1750
01:25:04,060 --> 01:25:04,660
Thank you.

1751
01:25:04,660 --> 01:25:08,020
I have a little experience.

1752
01:25:08,020 --> 01:25:13,480
I think that really
covers every appointment.

1753
01:25:13,480 --> 01:25:17,140
I will formalize these
and give them to Shelly.

1754
01:25:17,140 --> 01:25:20,620
We have interviewed teams
and those are important.

1755
01:25:20,620 --> 01:25:24,900
In my opinion, because
when people apply,

1756
01:25:24,900 --> 01:25:28,700
we often get more applicants
than we have positions.

1757
01:25:28,700 --> 01:25:32,580
And unless someone
wants to change them,

1758
01:25:32,580 --> 01:25:34,600
those have been working.

1759
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:36,140
What about library.

1760
01:25:36,140 --> 01:25:37,440
Would you like to
serve on the library.

1761
01:25:37,440 --> 01:25:38,800
Library thank you ma'am.

1762
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:39,740
I like books.

1763
01:25:39,740 --> 01:25:43,080
Good I had a question mark on
the library advisory board.

1764
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,140
So that's a check.

1765
01:25:45,140 --> 01:25:47,700
And I'm going to put you on
the food service advisory

1766
01:25:47,700 --> 01:25:53,780
and also tours one, which
is economic development.

1767
01:25:53,780 --> 01:25:56,100
All right.

1768
01:25:56,100 --> 01:25:57,240
That didn't take too long.

1769
01:25:57,240 --> 01:26:00,520
So thank you everyone.

1770
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:06,120
And I'll formalize this in
a memo to Shelly, which.

1771
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:10,440
There is no need to go
into executive session.

1772
01:26:10,440 --> 01:26:13,740
And so we did take
Main Street off.

1773
01:26:13,740 --> 01:26:15,000
Main Street is gone.

1774
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,280
OK sorry, I'm looking at.

1775
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:18,260
I just scratched through it.

1776
01:26:18,260 --> 01:26:19,120
It's on mine too.

1777
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:21,960
Yeah OK.

1778
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,040
All right.

1779
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:26,740
Thank you for everybody
willing to serve on those.

1780
01:26:26,740 --> 01:26:29,280


1781
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:34,380
It's good for us to be a part of
the committee and board process.

1782
01:26:34,380 --> 01:26:38,160


1783
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,400
Sometimes they need a nudge.

1784
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:43,160
It's good for us to
nudge them occasionally.

1785
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:43,660
All right.

1786
01:26:43,660 --> 01:26:45,280
I don't see any other.

1787
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,740
We don't have any reason to
go into executive session,

1788
01:26:47,740 --> 01:26:50,480
so let's have something else.

1789
01:26:50,480 --> 01:26:53,200
I'm going to go ahead and
adjourn the city council

1790
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:59,220
workshop for June 9 at 535.

1791
01:26:59,220 --> 01:27:01,250
Next show is.

1792
01:27:01,250 --> 01:27:58,000
