[0:32] If you'll stand with me as we call, I call them in into order, and they will stand for a woman of silence in that, but we follow by the flames of allegiance, please. [0:53] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, one republic, individual, and liberty and justice for all. [1:11] The director of powers will start. [1:14] Aurora will start with you, please, with Aurora here. [1:17] Paul, we're here, man. [1:18] Streets here. [1:19] From here. [1:20] Green here. [1:21] Adele here. [1:23] And then it's here. [1:24] Thank you all for being here. [1:27] And that will take us to item four, which are citizens to be heard. [1:31] We don't have any citizens to be statement. [1:33] Thank you, Ms. Katana. [1:34] No citizens to be heard at this time. [1:36] Well, that will take us to item five. [1:37] Motion to approve. [1:39] Second, got a motion taken by Director Green. I will begin the vote with you Director Aurora. [1:46] Or a court. [1:47] Or a court. [1:49] The court. [1:49] Green for. [1:50] Audit law for. [1:51] And Dennis for and the motion carries. [1:53] Thank you. [1:54] Taking us to item six A. We business. [1:57] Discussion possible action regarding the resolution and application for the visual improvement program. [2:03] for joining forward, for authorizing a reimbursement payment directly to the owner in court [2:09] in accordance with the VIP requirements this Saturday. [2:12] Hi, good morning, our afternoon or evening. [2:15] We really, at this point of the day, don't know where we are. [2:18] But good evening, everyone. [2:19] Thank you so much for being here. [2:21] This is a request. [2:23] I know at the budget meeting, I did talk about the new focus of the VIP program, which [2:28] was concentrating on some areas that were having some issues with unsightly. [2:33] in closures. Those are dumpster in closures. So now anything after 2022 that is built you [2:41] have to have them. They are requirement by code. So these are going to be some of those two out of [2:47] the 11, two of the two that came forward and said, yes, we want to comply. Can we get some assistance. [2:55] So the first one is Jonathan Bradford. He is with Jordan Ford. He applied for the dumpster. Can I [3:01] the power point. He applied for the dumpster enclosure and of course we all know Jordan [3:08] Port is at 1-3-0-10-I-H35. We did take some pictures. I did use those in the budget [3:18] meeting pictures so you'll see him again. The scope of work is going to be a 15-foot by [3:24] ten foot wide and eight feet high dumpster metal enclosure, what they had was just the dumpster [3:32] itself on my management sitting out there, things were being stacked on the side of it, [3:38] they literally, it lost sight, they didn't even know it was there anymore. So this is a, [3:45] off the access road so it's very visible and it needed some cleaning up. Three vids were [3:51] Acrued and JNSRN works have one that did at $5,000, they did keep it out of minimal. [3:58] When you see the product, it's really, it's really probably worth a lot more. [4:04] Should you vote to approve this enclosure and this VIP request, it would be under resolution 2024-01. [4:13] Here is what you saw down at the very bottom. [4:15] When you drove down the access road by Jordan Ford, [4:18] And what you see now is of in the left top picture. [4:23] So, I'm much improvement. [4:25] This is what we're trying to gain with all of the 11 businesses identified in the top-wine [4:31] Judson corridor and a couple in the forum. [4:34] So, that is what we have right now. [4:38] Again, I have a resolution of 2024, 0.1, should you approve this $5,000 request? [4:49] All right. [4:50] Thank you, Mr. Sather. I'd the director's please if you have any questions or concerns on this item. [4:55] Now we'll be the time. I'd the director's semics. [4:57] It's for a question, daughter. [4:59] And then it be. [5:00] From the city of the developer's contact, a waste management to where these developed these employees are not going to create any pickup problems for them. [5:08] No, they're not going to cause any problems. [5:11] I'm sure it does. But let's try that little problem around some time. [5:14] No, this is a really open space right there in the corner. All of these cars are much further away, so this will give them a good term radius. [5:22] It might be interesting to contact them and coordinate just to send out a road and make sure that [5:27] a road that you put those, and one of them is that you may have a very access to [5:30] net, because sometimes those things I mean, what was I used to do? [5:36] We're trying to encourage them to place the new instructor in closure where the actual unit [5:42] is now with waste management, so that would be with their normal pick-up area. [5:48] All right, thank you, there are a misunderstanding in this matter. [5:50] Anyone else? [5:51] The other is to comment that when it comes to the VIP and the intent and the litmus test of what would the VIP is intended for this one hits every single mark this is a bullseye. [6:02] It's only a great thank you. [6:05] And this is 2401. [6:07] And this would be for reimbursement to the actual property owner Jordan Ford. [6:13] So this is what you gave me. [6:15] 2024 zero one yes. [6:17] Okay. [6:17] Thank you. [6:18] Is there a motion for you? [6:20] By merely to make the motion of provisolution of the law of economic development, corporation, [6:23] authorising a reimbursement payment. [6:25] Directed to the owner, Jordan Ford, in the amount of to 5,000 in connection with the [6:29] visual present program within the effect of date. [6:32] Second, we have a motion, second, by the director of green, or resolution of the city of [6:38] live of economic development, corporations, authorising payment, and connection with the visual [6:45] improvement program within the effect of date. [6:50] We'll begin about with you, Director. [6:53] A report. [6:54] A report? [6:54] A report? [6:57] A report? [6:58] And then a report in the motion desk, Gary. [7:01] Thank you. [7:03] That will take us to our next item, which is item B. [7:07] Discussion possible action regarding the resolution and application for the Visual Improvement [7:12] Program by circles 786, for authorized and payment directly to the contract or in accordance [7:18] with the VIP program. It's not there. [7:21] We all know in love the Punjabi family. Isaac is helping Mr. Punjabi apply for this grant. [7:30] Circle 76 has kind of been a staple convenience store for us for a long, long time. They've [7:38] done some improvements on their own, on the building, on the tanks, and so they have really [7:43] put in a lot of money to improve. Now, the one last place to improve is that dumpster [7:48] and closure. And I did use this also in one of my previous where we were talking about the big program and how if you're sitting in the doctor's office, you look across and you see a big dumpster. So, this is that problem area. [8:04] We all know it's at 74 hundred leafy hollow. Again, they came to us and said, absolutely, we will clean this up. Can we have some assistance? [8:13] So the scope of work, it's a little bit different from the Jordan Ford, it's going to be [8:18] center block construction with a cap, a decorative cap, they are going to advocate and they [8:24] are going to build it two feet outside of what currently is what we call a lift lifted area, [8:30] where the actual unit sits on now. The beds were all received, elevated landscaping was the [8:37] the bid date shows and at $4,861 in 51 cents. Should you approve this resolution? [8:46] This would be to pay directly to the contractor and that would be in the amount of $4,861. [8:55] In 51 cents. This is the pictures that we captured. We have one with a homeless person digging in it. [9:04] So this is another thing that they don't want any longer on their property. [9:10] They do see it so issue and this is the rise that I'm talking about earlier and they're [9:15] going to build this new structure to feet outside of that on all four sides. [9:20] So that will give plenty of room for that truck to come in. [9:23] Use their fork, lift it, empty it and come back up. [9:29] All right, thank you, thank you, Ms. Ladder. [9:30] Any questions or concerns directors on the side? [9:40] I think it's going to just be natural, but I can sure find that out. [9:47] They just painted that whole area, so maybe they will match it. [9:53] Some of the reason I ask is that Cinderblood will have a tendency to look just like that concrete pad over time in the business. [10:00] I can't have a little bit easier to clean, but my way to life is for thumbing his tag, and that may not have a vote. [10:05] Yes, that's for a very chair. We'll definitely talk to you guys. [10:11] All right, baby, man. Is there a motion? [10:15] I'll make a motion to approve a resolution of the Live Oak Economic Development Corporation, authorizing a payment directly to the contractor. [10:22] I'll elevate landscaping in the amount of $4,861.51 in connection with the visual improvement program on behalf of Circle. [10:31] 786 live up group policy with an effective date. [10:35] I can, we've got a motion second by Director Adela for Resolution 2-0, 2-4-0-2, [10:44] a resolution of the City of LIGO Texas Economic Development Corporation, [10:49] authorizing payment to a contractor and connection with the visual improvement program [10:53] within effective date. [10:55] And again, we'll start with you, Director Aurora. [10:57] are more affordable, street sport, three-store, three-store, three-store, a [11:01] dollar-store, and then it's for in the motion period. Thank you all very much. [11:07] And just so you know, staff will continue to work on this new focus. These [11:12] type of projects that are clearly a nuisance for the public eye and we will work [11:18] hard to get all 11 and compliance just in that one area. All right, we really [11:23] to appreciate that thank you. [11:25] And so we will go on now to item seven, [11:27] which are Jill announcements, [11:29] and we'll begin with with our staff [11:31] with our e-saving members. [11:34] Any characters have any reports direct to something? [11:37] I just want to call for a dollar on her recap [11:39] of the ICS conference. [11:42] It's very nice and appreciate the information you've passed on. [11:46] Yes, I like that too. [11:47] Thank you, anyone else? [11:49] I would like to say that I have been enjoying [11:52] The ribbon cutting events that we've been going to and just listen to the positive comments to all the business owners have been saying about the city and everything that's been great. [12:02] It's very special. [12:04] Director. [12:06] Yeah. [12:06] I mean, sorry. [12:07] It's all good. [12:09] I just wanted to thank Donna in particular in your team. [12:13] Um, the, um, the team from Guerrero's Live Oak who visited, um, for the banquet, um, [12:19] Rutherl and Chen was just so pleased and so happy. [12:22] They're still talking about it. [12:23] It was just an absolutely outstanding event, um, so, so thank you so very, very much, um, [12:28] and of course, I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to jump with a little bit here. [12:31] We are so excited about the ribbon cutting for our new building and encourage everyone [12:35] to join us, um, for that wonderful event. [12:39] I'm so sorry I'm going to miss it, but I know it's going to be great. [12:41] I know. I know. I know. I know. I'll come by, though. I'll come by. Oh, you must. [12:49] Thank you for anything else, directors. All right. Then we'll go to item B for staff announcements. [12:55] We'll start with our city manager, Mr. Kofarei. [12:58] You're a former. All right. Thank you. Ms. Louder. [13:02] Yes, August 6. I know you have it on your calendar.

It's going to be really really exciting to kids. [13:33] And it's all I have, ma'am. [13:35] All right, thank you. [13:36] And just to echo, I did like the report from the ICSC conference. [13:40] I thought that was really good. [13:41] I liked the way that was done. [13:43] So thank you for doing that. [13:45] All right. [13:46] It will have all kinds of minds of clear.
