This is the process.

92
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,600
Information is recognizing Creek Leak as March 18 through 25, 2023. Whereas the first Creek Leak in central

93
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,980
North Carolina was observed in the city of Durham in 2009 and is now observed by many local

94
00:35:11,980 --> 00:35:16,380
governments across the state and whereas in addition to Creek Leak, many local governments

95
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:21,500
and organizations across central and eastern North Carolina have conducted major cleanup efforts

96
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:28,720
to remove trash in waterways and whereas regional Creek Leak Leak started by the North Carolina Clean

00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:34,220
Water Education Partnership in 2021 is a special week set aside where partnership, affiliated

00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:39,920
local governments, concurrently worked together to celebrate and store local creeks and streams.

99
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:46,280
And whereas this impact could be greatly magnified through the collective efforts of additional

100
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,780
local governments, organizations and individuals working together to educate, about and protect

101
00:35:51,780 --> 00:35:58,000
our waterways, whereas creeks, streams, rivers, and other waterways support outdoor recreation,

102
00:35:58,660 --> 00:36:04,160
fisheries, healthy lifestyles, and safe drinking water supplies. And whereas healthy waterways

103
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:10,160
also support biodiversity, natural beauty, and provide critical habitat for aquatic wildlife.

104
00:36:10,820 --> 00:36:15,520
And whereas the town of Morrisville encourages all residents to celebrate quickly with a scheduled

105
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,420

106
00:36:18,540 --> 00:36:20,160

does hereby recognize Mark 18, 23, as quick week

109
00:36:27,420 --> 00:36:29,280
in the town of Morrisville, North Carolina.

110
00:36:30,260 --> 00:36:32,200
And at this time, I'd like to ask our environmental

111
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,300
specialist, Tony Victor, to approach,

112
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,740
I'll present him this, and he can share some ideas

113
00:36:37,740 --> 00:36:40,480
about what's going on this up from week.

114
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,780
And then if you'd rather go to the day, that's fine.

115
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,020
Congratulations. Thanks for everything you do. You are on social media all the time.

116
00:36:56,970 --> 00:36:57,150
Okay.

117
00:37:04,980 --> 00:37:05,500
Back to Laura.

118
00:37:14,130 --> 00:37:15,890
Okay. There you go. Thank you very much.

119
00:37:26,730 --> 00:37:29,470
You're me, okay. So it's good. All right.

120
00:37:30,410 --> 00:37:35,490
Thank you. As Mayor said, not too many Victor environmental specialists in the storm water division of the engineering department.

121
00:37:36,250 --> 00:37:40,030
Thank you, town council, for giving me the opportunity to speak this evening.

122
00:37:40,030 --> 00:37:48,850
The NC Clean Water Education Partnership, also known as Quepp, has done this obviously for the past three years.

123
00:37:49,350 --> 00:37:54,190
Approximately 23 municipalities are participating this year.

124
00:37:54,890 --> 00:38:03,610
As a member of Quepp, and in conjunction with the Regional Event, Storm Water Division is hosting Morseville Creek Creek 2023, March 18 through 25.

125
00:38:03,610 --> 00:38:11,200
The purpose of Creek Week is to engage the public on the importance of clean and healthy

126
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,160
waterways.

127
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,760
Creek Week also helps us in more skill, meet our national illusion discharge elimination

128
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:24,280
system, phase two permit that's issued by North Carolina Department of Environmental

129
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:30,460
Quality, and is delegated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

130
00:38:30,460 --> 00:38:37,460
More importantly, stewardship of storm water and our waterways is the right thing to do.

131
00:38:38,260 --> 00:38:40,460
Brought human history water connects us.

132
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,880
Live work and play in and near water.

133
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,940
Water allows us to live connected and live well.

134
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,640
Storm water that flows through and out of Morseville

135
00:38:53,640 --> 00:39:02,180
So, we'll pass through many North Carolina communities via the Newst River and the Cape

136
00:39:02,180 --> 00:39:05,320
Beer Watersheds on its way to the ocean.

137
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:12,180
It will flow in close proximity to more than 900,000 people along its way.

138
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,820
I hope this stresses the importance of being good stewards of our waterways for more

139
00:39:17,820 --> 00:39:19,780
the residents and those downstream.

140
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,900
This year's quick, quick, quick, quick, quick events.

141
00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:24,680
It's hard to do, I know.

00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,020

153

154
00:40:49,590 --> 00:40:55,390
average in understanding stormwater and what it meant and the ramifications and at the

155
00:40:55,390 --> 00:41:01,570
time we commented it is because of our staff and I would tell you it is because of you specifically

156
00:41:01,570 --> 00:41:06,610
and all the work you are doing working with the citizens and our advisory committee too.

169
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:09,400
named as one of India's 50 most influential people. Sadguru has launched several initiatives

170
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:14,620
over the years. powerful examples of bringing together all segments of the society to achieve

171
00:42:14,620 --> 00:42:20,900
system, system change, with lasting, sustainable solutions, and ecological and social issues.

172
00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:26,460
These initiatives are given at the support of the government, public figures, grassroot,

173
00:42:26,460 --> 00:42:31,880
organizations, and millions of people, and whereas, same soil is a global movement supported

174
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:38,220
by 81 nations, uniting world leaders, visionaries, influencers, and citizens of all nations

175
00:42:38,220 --> 00:42:45,440
behind a common purpose to restore and safeguard the world's soil, and whereas save soil aims

176
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:50,120
to address the global soil crisis, recognizing that 52 percent of the world's agriculture

177
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:58,360
soil are already degraded, and by 2050, 90 percent of our soil could be degraded, addressing

178
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:03,840
the soil degradation issue would bring a solution of the loss of biodiversity, nutritional

179
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:09,360
efficiencies, food security, water scarcity, climate change, and mass migration.

180
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,700
And whereas the proposed solution is to advocate for policies across all nations, towards

181
00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:20,980
soil restoration and aim, increase organic contents in agriculture soil and minimize

182
00:43:20,980 --> 00:43:23,440
to a minimum of three to six percent.

183
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:30,960
Now, therefore, the town of council of the town of Marshall does here by proclaim March 21st

184
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,200
as saved soil day in Marsal N.C.

185
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:36,220
soil is vital to all life.

186
00:43:36,420 --> 00:43:39,940
So we urge all individuals to be a part of the saved soil movement

187
00:43:39,940 --> 00:43:43,300
and participate in creating bright futures for our children

188
00:43:43,300 --> 00:43:45,540
and the future of our planet.

189
00:43:48,060 --> 00:43:50,420
And at this time, I would like to ask Suresh,

190
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,140
who is a volunteer with the saved soil condition

191
00:43:54,140 --> 00:43:58,200
to come to the podium along with other volunteers.

192
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,100
I

193
00:44:25,470 --> 00:44:28,610
just want to thank you,

194
00:44:31,750 --> 00:44:33,430

this approach to come up to this thing.

196
00:44:40,540 --> 00:44:43,980
I just want to say, please visit the website.

197
00:44:47,380 --> 00:44:48,800
A lot of information is there.

198
00:45:11,580 --> 00:45:12,300
This

199
00:45:17,930 --> 00:45:21,090
time comes in morale. We'll read the next proclamation, please.

200
00:45:22,270 --> 00:45:27,710
This is a proclamation recognizing pleading disorders where it is marked. Whereas the town of

201
00:45:27,710 --> 00:45:34,370
Morrisville is proud to commemorate March 2023 as pleading disorders where it is marked. This designation

202
00:45:34,370 --> 00:45:40,650
will formalize and expand upon the designation of March 1986 as hemophilia awareness marked.

203
00:45:40,650 --> 00:45:45,370
President Ronald Reagan, and the federal Department of Health and Human Services designation,

204
00:45:46,150 --> 00:45:53,750
of March 2016, as national bleeding disorders month, and we're as these bleeding disorders

205
00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:58,790
which share the inability to form a proper blood clot or characterized by extended bleeding

206
00:45:58,790 --> 00:46:04,990
after injury, surgery, trauma, or menstruation, and can lead to a significant morbidity and can be fatal

207
00:46:04,990 --> 00:46:09,950
have not treated effectively. Now, we're asked many individuals with hemophilia became

208
00:46:09,950 --> 00:46:15,270
effective with HIV and hepatitis C in the 1980s because the contamination of blood supply

209
00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:19,830
and blood products. Now, we're asked this awareness month, we'll generate greater awareness

210
00:46:19,830 --> 00:46:25,030
and understanding of not only hemophilia, but all the heritable bleeding disorders, including

211
00:46:25,030 --> 00:46:31,010
bond, full of brand disease, which alone impacts an estimated 1% of the U.S. population

212
00:46:31,010 --> 00:46:36,930
more than 3.2 million individuals, whereas this awareness month will foster a greater

213
00:46:36,930 --> 00:46:41,550
sense of community and shared purpose among individuals with all inheritable

214
00:46:41,550 --> 00:46:47,110
bleeding disorders, and whereas this awareness month will elevate awareness of an

215
00:46:47,110 --> 00:46:51,370
engagement in the inheritable bleeding disorders journey beyond our community to the

216
00:46:51,370 --> 00:46:55,530
general public enabling the prevention of illness unnecessary procedures in

217
00:46:56,390 --> 00:47:01,070
Now, therefore, the town council of the town of Morseville does hereby proclaim the month

218
00:47:01,070 --> 00:47:06,030
of March, 2023, as bleeding disorders awareness month of the town of Morseville.

219
00:47:06,310 --> 00:47:08,950
After this 14-day March, 2023,

220
00:47:12,170 --> 00:47:13,970
Mayor Potem Johnson will read the next proclamation.

221
00:47:14,870 --> 00:47:18,870
So, this proclamation is celebrating women in public office stay.

222
00:47:19,430 --> 00:47:25,190
Whereas the month of March is women's history month and celebrates the significant contributions,

223
00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:31,970
women of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds have made to the world, and whereas women play

224
00:47:31,970 --> 00:47:38,430
a critical role in the vitality and diversity of our communities, and are essential to ensuring

225
00:47:38,430 --> 00:47:43,950
the town of Morrisville as well represented. And whereas while the 20th century was a pivotal

226
00:47:43,950 --> 00:47:51,190
time of growth for women entering politics, women reign underrepresented in male-dominated fields

227
00:47:51,190 --> 00:47:56,510
and thus providing opportunities to support women in public office isn't carried.

228
00:47:57,370 --> 00:48:01,870
And whereas recognizing women in public office will bring awareness to the fundamental

229
00:48:01,870 --> 00:48:08,090
necessity of their work and will inspire other young people to serve their communities.

230
00:48:09,150 --> 00:48:14,410
Now, therefore, the town council of the town of Warsaw does here by proclaim March 19th,

231
00:48:15,210 --> 00:48:21,170
2023 as women in public office day and call upon the people of Morseville to unite as we

232
00:48:21,170 --> 00:48:27,130
support the success of women in public office and observe every March 19th with appropriate

233
00:48:27,130 --> 00:48:29,270
activities events and programs.

234
00:48:31,230 --> 00:48:31,550
Thank you.

235
00:48:31,790 --> 00:48:34,730
Council Member Rebody will read tonight's final proclamation.

236
00:48:36,540 --> 00:48:39,380
Reclamation declaring marches women's history month.

237
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,780
Whereas American women of every race class and ethnic background have made historic contributions

238
00:48:44,780 --> 00:48:49,700
to the growth and strength of our nation in countless recorded and unrecorded ways.

239
00:48:49,700 --> 00:49:05,800
And whereas American women have played and continued to play a critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of life of the nation by constituting a significant portion of the volunteered labor force working inside and outside of the home.

240
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:16,340
And whereas American women were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic and cultural institutions in our nation.

241
00:49:16,340 --> 00:49:30,660
And whereas American women have served our country politically and militarily, and whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic backgrounds served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement.

242
00:49:31,380 --> 00:49:42,320
And whereas despite these contributions, the role of American women in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued in the literature, teaching and study of American history.

243
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:50,000
Now, before the town council, with the town of Morrisville, does hear by proclaim March as Women's History Month in Morrisville.

244
00:49:50,380 --> 00:49:54,480
And urge us all to celebrate with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

245
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:59,880
We also invite residents to visit www.Wimmins History Month.

246
00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:15,240
I'm

247
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:27,240
glad

248
00:50:37,710 --> 00:50:53,370
to be here with you all this evening giving up date regarding the meal program. I have some good information here for you all, so hopefully if you can just hold your questions until the end and maybe I'll have them address by the end.

249
00:50:59,210 --> 00:51:04,450
presentation over you. So the proposed mirror program is just one component as you all know of the

250
00:51:04,450 --> 00:51:10,130
feature public art program. It's envisioned as a pilot for the public art initiative.

251
00:51:11,090 --> 00:51:16,930
This presentation will focus on the current and plan steps for a pose mirror program and highlight the

252
00:51:16,930 --> 00:51:20,250
steps that we made towards facilitating public art.

253
00:51:23,290 --> 00:51:25,390
As you all know, I present to you all in December

254
00:51:25,390 --> 00:51:31,710
on the Darkteam. We talked about the overall program, as well as the proposed evaluation process,

255
00:51:32,250 --> 00:51:36,170
and you also selected the first three mural locations, and we also talked about theme.

256
00:51:37,230 --> 00:51:41,130
On January 25th, I presented to you the Parks Recreation and Cultural Resources

257
00:51:41,130 --> 00:51:45,490
Advisory Committee. I provided an overview of the program research and findings,

258
00:51:45,650 --> 00:51:49,190
and also an overview of their proposed role as you all define in your meeting.

259
00:51:52,860 --> 00:51:56,740
Now that we've kind of covered that, we'll go over the full chart once again, so there are six steps

260
00:51:56,740 --> 00:52:00,500
in our program. The first step was research. We researched established

261
00:52:00,500 --> 00:52:05,180
mural programs and assessed the approval framework as well as assessed the

262
00:52:05,180 --> 00:52:09,760
assurance and weaknesses of those existing programs. Step two was cleaning. We

263
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:14,480
formed a multi-departmental mural program, advisory committee rather, and

264
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,440
that consisted of staff from planning, public works, communications, and

265
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:23,680
parks and recreation. The third step was framework development. We established

266
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:29,500
of your program framework, so that entailed identifying your installation locations, designing

267
00:52:29,500 --> 00:52:33,780
and approval process, and identifying potential UDO updates.

268
00:52:36,030 --> 00:52:39,970
Our first step is pilot program finalization, and that's our current step.

269
00:52:40,690 --> 00:52:47,190
So we are looking at seismic evaluation, also looking at including cost estimates updating

270
00:52:47,190 --> 00:52:50,330
you all once again, requesting funds, recommending,

271
00:52:50,470 --> 00:52:51,910
and adopting UDO amendments.

272
00:52:53,090 --> 00:52:57,590
And again, it's a great place where we are right now,

273
00:52:57,730 --> 00:53:00,050
because we're able to kind of really get that framework

274
00:53:00,050 --> 00:53:01,830
and get everything finalized.

275
00:53:02,230 --> 00:53:03,290
So let me find it to be here with you.

276
00:53:03,970 --> 00:53:06,090
So the fifth step would be implementation.

277
00:53:06,950 --> 00:53:10,130
And so we will be issuing an RSP,

278
00:53:10,410 --> 00:53:12,510
as well as reviewing those proposals

279
00:53:12,510 --> 00:53:13,970
and then selecting your list.

280
00:53:14,690 --> 00:53:17,070
The sixth and final step, I think it's the most exciting.

281
00:53:17,070 --> 00:53:19,390
I think for all of us, which will be installation.

282
00:53:23,220 --> 00:53:24,520
So now that we've had that overview,

283
00:53:24,740 --> 00:53:27,180
let's kind of recap what you all provided

284
00:53:27,180 --> 00:53:29,080
has gotten so less time.

285
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,080
So you also like to the first three locations,

286
00:53:32,860 --> 00:53:35,460
those locations were fire admin,

287
00:53:35,580 --> 00:53:38,940
as well as MFAC and the Shiloh Park Restaurant Building.

288
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,400
Again, we finalized the approval process.

289
00:53:43,780 --> 00:53:45,520
We have the committee, you can form

290
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,660
some of staffs of planning, public works,

291
00:53:48,660 --> 00:53:53,660
communication in parts and recreation. We also identify the first relocations for installation

292
00:53:53,660 --> 00:54:00,220
as you all decided and also theme. Our next step will be to release the RSP, then the

293
00:54:00,220 --> 00:54:04,460
parts recreation and cultural resources advisory committee will review those RSP submittals

294
00:54:04,460 --> 00:54:10,340
and then recommend to you all prefer a mirrorless design for each location. And then once again

295
00:54:10,340 --> 00:54:16,940
you all will select the final design for each location. Next we will award contracts and then finally

296
00:54:16,940 --> 00:54:18,260
commission the murals.

297
00:54:20,550 --> 00:54:22,530
As for theme selection, murals

298
00:54:22,530 --> 00:54:25,950
needs will be provided to artists by staff. This was based on

299
00:54:25,950 --> 00:54:30,430
you all feedback. The themes will vary by location for instance,

300
00:54:30,610 --> 00:54:34,770
the Shialo restaurant building could be based on the location's history,

301
00:54:35,070 --> 00:54:37,750
other locations could be guided completely by mirrorless creativity.

302
00:54:42,130 --> 00:54:46,650
Now let's kind of go over our current steps. The RSP is being drafted,

303
00:54:47,170 --> 00:54:51,630
the outline currently includes goals. Our goals have been identified as to

304
00:54:51,630 --> 00:54:59,950
First to activate and enhance the cultural connectivity and vitality of the town of Morrisville through engaging artwork and creative place making of

305
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:06,420
Also to honor the town's history, natural beauty, and cultural heritage. And also to provide an opportunity for public engagement.

306
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:17,320
Our objectives would be to create a mural that is colorful, inspiring to residents and visitors, and to create a mural that reflects the unique, unique characteristics of the town for a civil.

307
00:55:20,150 --> 00:55:25,890
The selection process, there are kind of two steps here. The first step will select up to four finalists.

308
00:55:25,890 --> 00:55:45,730
We'll be selected by the Parks and Culture Resources Advisory Committee, and they will then create a site-specific design based on artistic accomplishments as well as that they are demonstrating with their prior works that they have technical skills as well as comparable skills of path works.

309
00:55:45,730 --> 00:55:55,650
Also, we're looking at the fact that they have had some sort of collaboration maybe with multiple stakeholders and working with design teams and projects in urban settings.

310
00:55:56,550 --> 00:56:05,350
We also would like them to demonstrate the ability to create artwork that reflects the distinctest characteristics of a place as well as the ability to complete projects on time within budget.

311
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:12,720
That too, the Parks and Rights Cultural Resources Advisory Committee will then recommend to

312
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:17,760
town council, the final design selections for artists and artists team, and then you all

313
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:22,700
will then make your decisions based on artistic narrative design, appropriateness of design

314
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:26,840
for location, including scale, content, color, and design.

315
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,920
I want to make sure that the concept reflects the state of goals of the project as well as

316
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,120
artists who call out qualifications and the originality of the design.

317
00:56:38,770 --> 00:56:41,430
We're also looking at proposed UDO amendments.

318
00:56:41,610 --> 00:56:43,110
They're being drafted as well.

319
00:56:43,630 --> 00:56:46,810
We want to first define a mural and differ that from signage.

320
00:56:47,010 --> 00:56:51,010
That will be in update to our terms and uses defined.

321
00:56:51,410 --> 00:56:55,730
We'll also be allowing painting on brick in cases of public art.

322
00:56:56,570 --> 00:56:59,210
And so that'll be through the approved process and program.

323
00:57:00,130 --> 00:57:03,830
And then lastly, we want to make sure that we incorporate public art installation

324
00:57:03,830 --> 00:57:07,650
into the town center and part of West Village Planned Development Academics.

325
00:57:08,990 --> 00:57:16,130
Also, a private presentation I wanted to highlight existing UDL language that helps us facilitate and allows public art.

326
00:57:16,390 --> 00:57:28,130
First, we do define art within the UDL that can be a fountain or a sculpture or other similar objects that are cited on a development site as a focal point and intended for a public enjoyment.

327
00:57:28,730 --> 00:57:31,650
That can be located on both private and public property.

328
00:57:31,650 --> 00:57:36,730
Also, our open states, design standards allow for architectural design features such as

329
00:57:36,730 --> 00:57:44,650
sculptures, order elements, carvings, frescas, you have mavesates and mobiles as well, and

330
00:57:44,650 --> 00:57:48,610
also, we allow decorative shelters for transit riders.

331
00:57:48,970 --> 00:57:51,350
This is all subject to the common open space standard.

332
00:57:52,450 --> 00:58:03,260
I also want to highlight that art is currently allowed as a accessory used within all

333
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:10,720
One, we are actively doing research to make sure that we are ready with our site-specific

334
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,420
details that would be location on the facade of those murals and as well as staffing.

335
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,360
We're also looking at budget and cost analysis.

336
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:23,700
So, the program is currently unfunded, however, the fiscal year 24 budget request includes

337
00:58:23,700 --> 00:58:24,480
the pilot program.

338
00:58:25,020 --> 00:58:29,400
We're looking at our stipend, which could range anywhere from 5 to 12,000.

339
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:34,180
that will be predicated on size, the artists will have to utilize this stipending to purchase

340
00:58:34,180 --> 00:58:41,000
all pain and all required supplies in order to turn that mirror into us.

341
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:47,820
And then the next thing would be a finalist incentive rather, so typically when you have

342
00:58:47,820 --> 00:58:50,960
our artists come up with something site specific, you want to make sure that you compensate

343
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:55,160
them for the time and energy that they did to put that together.

344
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,360
And so that will range anywhere from $250 to $500.

345
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,820
We got to get the head there.

346
00:59:04,940 --> 00:59:08,860
We're also looking at working with community initiatives like United Arts School

347
00:59:08,860 --> 00:59:11,100
that help with monetary support for such projects.

348
00:59:11,260 --> 00:59:14,860
Again, they have their arts and towns grant that we're currently looking at.

349
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:19,320
And also, I just want to remind you all these artists and they are such a change.

350
00:59:22,350 --> 00:59:23,870
So a couple continue next steps.

351
00:59:23,890 --> 00:59:28,250
The next thing we will do is adopt the UDL amendments and then issue the RSP,

352
00:59:28,250 --> 00:59:33,990
Parks and Writes, cultural resources, advisory committee will then review those RFP submittals

353
00:59:33,990 --> 00:59:39,910
and then the program, you know, once we have those designs, you all will select the final design.

354
00:59:40,610 --> 00:59:46,710
Staff will also actively be working towards evaluating options for the future public art program,

355
00:59:46,870 --> 00:59:51,270
which includes, you know, signing long-term maintenance and management and massage fillies of the program.

356
00:59:51,810 --> 00:59:55,070
I also want to highlight that you all will be getting updates within the news and notes section.

357
00:59:56,410 --> 00:59:57,490
So, here we go.

358
00:59:58,310 --> 00:59:59,970
That kind of concludes all the information now.

359
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,400
I have for you all with an update, but if you have any questions for me, I would like to do my best to address them.

360
01:00:08,900 --> 01:00:10,800
I want to give the opportunity to have

361
01:00:20,180 --> 01:00:22,820
questions from the side of the area, really great.

362
01:00:25,820 --> 01:00:31,680
At the end of the briefing, there's also a more specific part of the shelter area in the classroom.

363
01:00:32,460 --> 01:00:36,300
I don't know if there's any playground there.

364
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:41,640
That one is selected when we're going to talk to you with fire admin, humidity, and shallow park.

365
01:00:45,980 --> 01:00:48,880
We can definitely put that on the lift.

366
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:55,820
Just so I'm clear, so there might be more than one artist, two or a year old, so it's not just one artist doing all three.

367
01:00:56,100 --> 01:01:01,280
Yeah, so it can be one artist or a multiple artist, one for each design.

368
01:01:01,780 --> 01:01:06,460
Also, we are looking at the, you can have a team of artists that will completely design it for.

369
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:08,800
One individual.

370
01:01:11,020 --> 01:01:12,900
That's wonderful, Councilmember Alps.

371
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:18,880
You might have already mentioned this, but the artist's limited to, like, professional artists

372
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,900
are going to be, like, youth artists, younger artists living in our town.

373
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,780
They can be at least involved in the process.

374
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,940
I think that they could be involved in the process of part of an artist's team,

375
01:01:29,300 --> 01:01:32,740
but one of the qualifications is having places that there's someone that has

376
01:01:32,740 --> 01:01:35,500
done some work comparable to what we're asking them to complete.

377
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:52,000
That's the plan.

378
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,440
Thank you so much.

379
01:01:54,660 --> 01:01:57,280
Will Glenn, our communications and outreach director

380
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,860
and Anderson marketing and defense specialist

381
01:01:59,860 --> 01:02:02,160
will facilitate the final presentation of these.

382
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:11,840
Good evening.

383
01:02:12,180 --> 01:02:13,660
Will Glenn, communication and outreach director.

384
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,060
We are about two months away now from my next Spring Festival event.

385
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:20,520
Just wanted to come by and give you a nice update.

386
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:26,220
I'm going to yield to a marketing event specialist, Miss Lennett, Anderson, to lead the presentation.

387
01:02:45,940 --> 01:02:46,880
All right, thank you, little.

388
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,300
Hi, everyone. Again, my name is Lennett.

389
01:02:57,060 --> 01:02:57,620
It's here.

390
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,140
It looks forward to and everyone looks forward

391
01:03:19,980 --> 01:03:20,180
to.

392
01:03:20,180 --> 01:03:21,220
Thank you, Eric.

393
01:03:28,990 --> 01:03:36,190
Okay, so this year's event is going to be on Saturday May 13th from 4 to 8 PM.

394
01:03:36,190 --> 01:03:41,230
We are looking at a new layout this year.

395
01:03:42,090 --> 01:03:45,190
We typically have Springfest right in front of our building

396
01:03:45,190 --> 01:03:46,830
on 100 town hall drive.

397
01:03:47,170 --> 01:03:50,970
But we are looking to move the stage

398
01:03:50,970 --> 01:03:54,770
to the food hub and help this year

399
01:03:54,770 --> 01:03:58,330
and add some more interactive elements to it.

400
01:03:58,450 --> 01:04:01,030
We typically have our main music stage

401
01:04:01,030 --> 01:04:05,130
at the intersection of kind of town hall drive

402
01:04:05,130 --> 01:04:06,810
in Indian Creek Trailhead.

403
01:04:06,870 --> 01:04:08,270
We normally have it there,

404
01:04:08,710 --> 01:04:10,390
but we're gonna move it this year.

405
01:04:10,870 --> 01:04:13,570
We want to give it even a different field,

406
01:04:14,030 --> 01:04:15,990
then we do at July 3rd,

407
01:04:16,030 --> 01:04:20,550
and we also want to capitalize on the upcoming

408
01:04:22,170 --> 01:04:25,350
Town Center Project and getting people interested

409
01:04:25,350 --> 01:04:28,790
in interested in this area and getting more familiar

410
01:04:28,790 --> 01:04:30,630
with this end of Town Hall Drive.

411
01:04:35,100 --> 01:04:37,600
Our layout is, again,

412
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:43,520
Right in the front of town hall drive in the connected building, we have food trucks, about

413
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:44,960
eight food trucks already,

414
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,320
a small business outreach component that's going to be in front

415
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:59,800
of the chamber building and also have the opportunity for our town to have department tables and

416
01:05:00,180 --> 01:05:14,080
Right in front of the connector building, that's always been really helpful and really interactive, so all of our departments have the opportunity to come and set up tables to promote their programs and be in front of the public.

417
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:27,240
Right now, we already have Parks and Rec, stormwater inspections and planning as a part of the town tents. So we look forward to adding more as the event goes long.

418
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:36,380
We do have inflatable rides and games, as you may remember we have tickets that are for sale as well.

419
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:43,900
So our ticketing tables will be in front of the connector building, and we typically have two locations.

420
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:53,880
And our games provider brings everything from inflatable slides to carnival games that you would find, kind of at the fair.

421
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:58,580
And he also has inflatables that he puts inside of Indian Creek.

422
01:05:59,300 --> 01:06:03,160
So all of that is part of the inflables for the now.

423
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:10,940
If you can see on our layout, we have something that's called edu-tainment.

424
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,780
So this is typically where the stage has been.

425
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:20,580
And for this year what I'm looking to do is trying to find more educational entertainment

426
01:06:20,580 --> 01:06:28,680
for our children's area. I like to call this, the children's area. We are looking at getting

427
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:35,300
more hands on activities. We've contacted the library to see if they would be willing to come out

428
01:06:35,300 --> 01:06:43,520
and do some entertainment because that is what we're looking for to fill this space and we'll also

429
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:49,900
have a DJ in this area because we want to bring again more sound and more music and more entertainment

430
01:06:49,900 --> 01:06:54,420
to this area because we are picking up the stage and moving it to a different location.

431
01:07:00,980 --> 01:07:08,900
We will, of course, have multiple Porter Johns at the event. We are working to have

432
01:07:08,900 --> 01:07:16,640
make sure that our shuttle locations have accurate, but making sure that our shuttle locations have

433
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:24,690
accurate pick up and drop off locations. We typically shut the road down at the intersection

434
01:07:24,690 --> 01:07:31,450
of Morrisville Carpenter and at the traffic circle, we have shuttle buses that will run from

435
01:07:31,450 --> 01:07:36,750
cedar fork community center and drop off the traffic circle and also have shuttle buses that

436
01:07:36,750 --> 01:07:43,650
drop off pick up from the district park and drop off at the intersection of town hall, drive

437
01:07:43,650 --> 01:07:50,290
in Morrisville Carpenter. That is going to be a big help now that the construction is finished because

438
01:07:50,290 --> 01:07:56,590
actually have a huge intersection now that our buses can actually turn and make a

439
01:07:56,590 --> 01:08:02,250
U-turn and go back to the district park and we of course are working with fire to make sure

440
01:08:02,250 --> 01:08:08,950
that we have one lane of traffic to go through each through the intersection as well as help our

441
01:08:08,950 --> 01:08:18,310
bus make a loop and go back. So we're excited about that. We're also working internally to

442
01:08:18,310 --> 01:08:24,610
have police and fire and public work staff to help us throughout the day. I will say that spring

443
01:08:24,610 --> 01:08:30,430
Fest is one of those events that kind of touches all departments. We need inspections to help with

444
01:08:31,190 --> 01:08:40,610
our tint. We need public works to help on site with the gator. We need and closing the roads now for

445
01:08:40,610 --> 01:08:47,370
barricades. So spring Fest is kind of me but it's actually everybody that kind of helps me out for this event.

446
01:08:47,370 --> 01:09:05,390
So thank you guys for that for sure and we've already had one meeting and after this meeting and more discussions and more talks will have another meeting just to finalize our layout and bring everybody together to make sure that we're all on the same page.

447
01:09:05,390 --> 01:09:17,630
One of the other components that we are again looking to add at the pilot this year is to add a bit of a beer garden to the event.

448
01:09:18,530 --> 01:09:22,790
We get asked most of the time during the event.

449
01:09:23,630 --> 01:09:33,030
And afterwards, those social media if we have beer or if there is a section for where people can listen to music and have a beer.

450
01:09:33,030 --> 01:09:41,690
And we've done research in local municipalities about other events that have beer, and they have been popular.

451
01:09:42,770 --> 01:09:49,010
But we also found that it's up to us to charge the vendor to come out.

452
01:09:49,450 --> 01:09:53,070
And every vendor that we spoke to doesn't have a problem.

453
01:09:53,530 --> 01:09:59,830
So it would be no cost to us, but we would ask the vendor to come and pay.

454
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:10,860
We're basically a rental fee to come and be a part of our event, because it's not so much of we think that this is going to be a rock star event for them to make a ton of beer sales.

455
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:22,000
It's basically kind of like a marketing opportunity for them. So they would be paying us to come out and get their product in front of our audience.

456
01:10:24,850 --> 01:10:30,430
a couple of the events that I've looked at were a fest in the West, the

457
01:10:30,430 --> 01:10:35,030
Cuegrass Festival, and actually Lazy Days in Peak Fest.

458
01:10:35,690 --> 01:10:43,450
And it was just trying to get an understanding of what other municipalities are doing and what

459
01:10:43,450 --> 01:10:44,210
they think.

460
01:10:45,010 --> 01:10:47,990
So I think that it would be a good ad.

461
01:10:49,550 --> 01:10:53,930
And being as though this is the first year that we're trying this again, it's not something

462
01:10:53,930 --> 01:10:59,550
that we think that we're going to make a ton of money off of, but we just want to see how it goes,

463
01:10:59,750 --> 01:11:06,710
see how the community feels about it, and then we'll process that and take it to other

464
01:11:06,710 --> 01:11:10,630
events, maybe, or see how we go and how everyone feels about it.

465
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:29,000
In addition to the beer garden, we will have it in a confined space, so we won't have it in

466
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:35,960
space where the kids are per se, it's going to be in that food hub area and within the food

467
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:43,700
hub area, we'll have a 20 by 20 space. We'll mark off that people can come in and out of,

468
01:11:43,860 --> 01:11:48,340
but they'll have to keep their beverage in that confined area and they won't be able to come

469
01:11:48,340 --> 01:11:53,220
outside of it. So it's close enough to the music where they can stay in the confined area and

470
01:11:53,220 --> 01:11:58,940
but not necessarily have to come out and interact or be around kids.

471
01:12:07,460 --> 01:12:11,780
We have a couple of different options for parking for the event,

472
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:19,820
and it's not marked here, but we typically have handicapped accessible parking here in Town Hall,

473
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:27,080
and at our Cedar Park district park location and at the school.

474
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,480
So we'll have handicapped parking at both locations,

475
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:35,060
but we try to definitely have some here in town hall.

476
01:12:35,500 --> 01:12:37,440
And a lot of times people who need it,

477
01:12:37,480 --> 01:12:39,980
they'll just come and they'll ask one of the officers

478
01:12:39,980 --> 01:12:42,360
to let them in a lot or show a hang tag

479
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,020
and we can let them in that way.

480
01:12:51,540 --> 01:12:55,280
Guys, have any other questions about any new elements

481
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:57,140
or the new elements or springfest?

482
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,840
And again, this is still a work in progress

483
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:01,360
and we're still a couple of months out,

484
01:13:01,420 --> 01:13:04,020
so I don't have anything like the exact name

485
01:13:04,020 --> 01:13:08,650
the band, but we're still looking a bit, book bands, and some entertainment for the day two.

486
01:13:10,970 --> 01:13:11,470
Body, please.

487
01:13:12,010 --> 01:13:17,030
Can you refresh my memory on what the tickets relate to the people by?

488
01:13:17,950 --> 01:13:22,090
So the tickets are for the actual games and the inflatables.

489
01:13:22,570 --> 01:13:27,470
So our rides vendor, he comes out and he provides those carnival style games.

490
01:13:27,510 --> 01:13:31,980
And they're normally one ticket and a one dollar for one game.

491
01:13:32,780 --> 01:13:37,500
past years, we've done about $3,000 and take it sales.

492
01:13:39,980 --> 01:13:47,460
I would really like it if there was some way that families, I mean, I know it's only

493
01:13:48,220 --> 01:13:53,550
but I'm back in the day that would have been too much for my parents.

494
01:13:54,390 --> 01:13:59,930
So I would really like it if we could figure out some way that there could be either families

495
01:13:59,930 --> 01:14:06,030
to town hall beforehand if they want to pick up a book of tickets, it doesn't have to be that much.

496
01:14:06,790 --> 01:14:14,290
You know, like three or four tickets, ten tickets, something like that where if there's a family that, you know, that wants to come,

497
01:14:14,990 --> 01:14:20,310
then I would like it if everybody had a chance to ride the ride with their face painting whenever the DMS.

498
01:14:21,150 --> 01:14:24,230
Just something, you know, I just think that's something we should always be thinking about.

499
01:14:24,390 --> 01:14:27,490
This is an amazing event. Everyone is going to want to come to it.

500
01:14:27,490 --> 01:14:31,510
And I just want to would like us making sure that every family is having the same experience.

501
01:14:31,910 --> 01:14:33,570
Okay, thank you. I'll definitely write that down.

502
01:14:34,930 --> 01:14:35,990
I'll remember Garamela, please.

503
01:14:36,790 --> 01:14:40,010
Yeah, I think we all look forward for Spring Festival.

504
01:14:42,550 --> 01:14:43,850
I'd like to push over to Hanypah.

505
01:14:46,430 --> 01:14:47,990
Hanypah, Hanypah, Hanypah parking.

506
01:14:50,990 --> 01:14:59,930
But if we can't have it, because I don't want it to like they come and

507
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,080
The parking is full, so they don't know about it. And that could create some kind of

508
01:15:08,060 --> 01:15:19,050
parking spots, they have. And so, okay, at least, you know, signups and give them the pass or something that would be much better.

509
01:15:19,130 --> 01:15:20,710
Control, then, like,

510
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,680
party, so we don't know our capacity, so it would be, like,

511
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,460
Boston for us. I think that's what carried us to, like, you know.

512
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,860
Okay, I'll definitely write that down as well.

513
01:15:45,930 --> 01:15:47,070
Question about the parking.

514
01:15:47,830 --> 01:15:51,470
Is it possible people will use the grassy lot over a first Baptist?

515
01:15:51,970 --> 01:15:55,170
Because a lot of times they do, whether or not we have arranged it or not.

516
01:15:57,750 --> 01:15:59,930
Okay, yeah, we can definitely get in front of it.

517
01:16:00,110 --> 01:16:04,950
We haven't typically done that in these past years.

518
01:16:05,470 --> 01:16:08,030
Maybe in year one or two, we did, but we haven't.

519
01:16:08,030 --> 01:16:17,290
So we can make that priority in our messaging that people should not park there for short because I don't think that we need it right now

520
01:16:17,290 --> 01:16:27,070
Because we have a lot of parking at the district park and we are trying to get more shuttle buses to run at this event in July 3rd

521
01:16:27,570 --> 01:16:37,070
So we can move more people quickly. So I think that that may help also. So we'll definitely put that in our marketing and messaging to not park a lot

522
01:16:37,070 --> 01:16:39,030
because we wanted to do good neighbors.

523
01:16:40,390 --> 01:16:42,710
I'll end up mentioned that the buses

524
01:16:42,710 --> 01:16:43,910
have been able to turn around easier,

525
01:16:44,250 --> 01:16:45,890
but also with the construction completed,

526
01:16:46,250 --> 01:16:48,930
their sidewalks, so everyone can walk here.

527
01:16:50,170 --> 01:16:52,630
We're at Morrisville Parkway, and up at Savannah,

528
01:16:52,730 --> 01:16:56,330
and everything, so I have a lot more walking this time,

529
01:16:56,430 --> 01:16:57,930
which will really make it really nice.

530
01:16:58,590 --> 01:17:01,050
About the size of the 20 by 20,

531
01:17:01,710 --> 01:17:03,330
I think that it's going to be really popular.

532
01:17:04,070 --> 01:17:11,310
But the bigger thing is something that is a big mess there or some seeding.

533
01:17:12,610 --> 01:17:14,650
That will be very busy area.

534
01:17:15,330 --> 01:17:17,010
We want to figure out how to do it.

535
01:17:17,030 --> 01:17:22,110
Just because we're doing a rental fee, but then the vendor is charging people.

536
01:17:22,810 --> 01:17:24,530
All the car for their items.

537
01:17:24,910 --> 01:17:25,830
That's right.

538
01:17:26,510 --> 01:17:27,410
Ash or credit cards.

539
01:17:27,710 --> 01:17:28,350
That will be correct.

540
01:17:28,590 --> 01:17:32,790
And again, we'll put that in our marketing and our messaging for the event.

541
01:17:32,790 --> 01:17:38,430
But again, it's not our key, it's not the main thing that we're going to try to sell at this event,

542
01:17:38,470 --> 01:17:45,470
but we'll have enough signage there, and we'll have it on our website and on our marketing to make sure people know that it will be available.

543
01:17:46,290 --> 01:17:56,630
The vendor that we've used for carnival games, they've always been very great and I'm surprised, and I was going to go into those cars now, so I'm really going to go back very much with you.

544
01:17:56,850 --> 01:18:00,470
We don't have it once again. I wasn't sure who's first over here. I can't remember.

545
01:18:01,190 --> 01:18:02,530
Ralph, I hope I can submit to the vendor, please.

546
01:18:02,930 --> 01:18:06,050
Yeah, just to follow up on the channels, just wherever we can.

547
01:18:06,070 --> 01:18:12,190
I know it's the last July for the event of, you know, some people are visiting me and they say it's just a lot of time.

548
01:18:12,190 --> 01:18:16,470
the shadows, that was the problem was the problem was the problem was the problem was the

549
01:18:16,470 --> 01:18:21,450
problem was the concerns about I saw a police really challenge and people coming too close

550
01:18:21,450 --> 01:18:26,490
to the road so many people. So hopefully that won't be so bad because of the sidewalks,

551
01:18:26,570 --> 01:18:31,550
but whatever we can do to make sure that these shadows are on schedule so that, you know,

552
01:18:31,970 --> 01:18:36,870
because that the last July 4, that's the print past, there were so many people coming that

553
01:18:36,870 --> 01:18:41,770
people were waiting a long time to get the shadows. So this is, you know, hopefully we can

554
01:18:41,770 --> 01:18:45,550
best thing. Okay, yes. Definitely a little to address that.

555
01:18:45,690 --> 01:18:46,630
Tell us a member of Fender, please.

556
01:18:47,130 --> 01:18:52,450
I have a question about the dear garden. Will it be the vendor that's

557
01:18:52,450 --> 01:19:01,450
in charge of looking at IDs or yes, yes it will be. It will be and it will be the

558
01:19:01,450 --> 01:19:06,950
vendor who is going to be serving as well. So they have insurance and they will

559
01:19:06,950 --> 01:19:11,050
be allowable for anything. So it won't be any of our staff that will be

560
01:19:11,050 --> 01:19:12,950
handling or checking IDs.

561
01:19:13,330 --> 01:19:15,650
And this is a company that is pretty reputable

562
01:19:15,650 --> 01:19:17,850
and they've done other events before.

563
01:19:18,790 --> 01:19:20,790
So we feel comfortable with that.

564
01:19:20,870 --> 01:19:23,630
Close to the police department, if we have any more.

565
01:19:24,010 --> 01:19:26,370
Yes, we do right in the backyard.

566
01:19:27,550 --> 01:19:29,090
I'm sorry, I'm coming to the questions before.

567
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:32,880
I'll just remember Garam Elfus.

568
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,460
I'll be back with what you said.

569
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:37,560
We're cutting the parking lot there.

570
01:19:38,020 --> 01:19:40,380
I think if we tie up with the show,

571
01:19:40,380 --> 01:19:46,500
it's that opportunity, you know, harsh money and that's the harsh money, like in the fight.

572
01:19:47,580 --> 01:19:49,600
A lot of people would want it.

573
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:51,660
But you know, this is something close by.

574
01:19:56,020 --> 01:19:59,440
Like parking lots all across, like, you know, they charge, you know, not really.

575
01:20:00,530 --> 01:20:08,830
We fear grounds, but all the other grounds are charged. So for us, I think, as many parties as we can fit, that are

576
01:20:08,830 --> 01:20:15,050
preventing the church can take it. But now it's a convenience for us, for the residents so that they can

577
01:20:15,050 --> 01:20:20,730
just walk, you know, across. So I think it's a minimum if we can have it.

578
01:20:30,480 --> 01:20:31,920
Okay, yeah, I can

579
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:37,160
definitely make another that. I'll mention you. I'm so happy that a lot of people are going to maybe

580
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:41,160
parking neighborhoods and they shouldn't, so it's gonna be a lot of communication and a lot

581
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:46,680
of work. Morrisville Square is also nearby. People will probably park there, despite signs saying,

582
01:20:46,700 --> 01:20:51,380
no parking other than when you're shopping. Much as you can make good neighbor for everybody.

583
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:57,360
So it was a great thing. I've one last question, can people bring their own beverages into the

584
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:02,460
You're going to be really clear about that in advance so people can't bring.

585
01:21:02,740 --> 01:21:04,720
That's correct. That's correct.

586
01:21:04,900 --> 01:21:04,980
Bye.

587
01:21:06,100 --> 01:21:07,280
I can't wait.

588
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:08,940
I wish it was sooner.

589
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:10,280
That's wonderful.

590
01:21:10,420 --> 01:21:12,560
Thanks for all the work you've already done

591
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,460
and all the work that you and the entire staff are going to be doing to make this another.

592
01:21:16,260 --> 01:21:16,460
Great.

593
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:17,500
Thank you.

594
01:21:28,480 --> 01:21:30,520
We are at public address, which is item 10.

595
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:35,100
Is there anyone here in the audience who signed up?

596
01:21:37,260 --> 01:21:44,060
There are no public comments or CVA email and there were no individual signed up to give in person public comment.

597
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,660
Anyone here in the room who did want to make a public address comment.

598
01:21:51,460 --> 01:21:55,100
Seeing that, it's a little bit of a break, so we'll just go right into action items.

599
01:21:55,860 --> 01:21:58,060
There are three action items on this evening's agenda.

600
01:21:58,060 --> 01:22:00,840
of the closed amendment of the Zones Act for Geek Energy,

601
01:22:01,300 --> 01:22:02,900
a town code of ordinance update,

602
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:04,980
and a resolution and capital project,

603
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,340
ordinance amendment authorizing phase two

604
01:22:07,340 --> 01:22:10,580
to be designed build for church street parks, Southern Lot.

605
01:22:10,740 --> 01:22:13,580
Susan Russell, Plano 2, will facilitate the first item.

606
01:22:15,820 --> 01:22:19,400
Good evening, Mayor Colley and members of Town Council.

607
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,020
Could you please bring up the photos?

608
01:22:23,860 --> 01:22:25,200
Thank you. Thank you so much.

609
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,720
Okay, so first I have a matter of housekeeping

610
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:38,780
to report back to you all, regarding the Duke Substitution site. So Duke has cleaned up the

611
01:22:38,780 --> 01:22:45,440
transmission corridor and if you remember that corridor runs adjacent to the homes on

612
01:22:45,440 --> 01:22:54,620
Gradiat. If you'll go through all three, I think there's three. Also our code enforcement officer

613
01:22:54,620 --> 01:23:01,700
Mr. Clarence Harris. He went out there today to make sure that this actually occurred and it did.

614
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:09,700
He did confirm that, and then also he will be following up with Duke Energy regarding maintenance.

615
01:23:12,210 --> 01:23:18,410
Okay, now on to matters for the closed public hearing. Excuse me.

616
01:23:18,970 --> 01:23:21,130
For the picture real quick, if there is one,

617
01:23:24,430 --> 01:23:25,470
what an nicer thank you.

618
01:23:25,670 --> 01:23:26,310
You're welcome.

619
01:23:27,870 --> 01:23:31,250
Okay, so now on to matters for the closed public hearing.

620
01:23:31,910 --> 01:23:39,810
The applicant, what's the escalation path if for Mr. Harris or for a woman if that

621
01:23:39,810 --> 01:23:41,050
site is not cleaned up?

622
01:23:41,270 --> 01:23:47,150
Who are we asking them to call the site, doesn't stay in good repair, has due promise that

623
01:23:47,150 --> 01:23:47,810
it would?

624
01:23:47,810 --> 01:23:56,710
So I'm not sure about that specifically. Martha, would you have something that you have in mind?

625
01:23:56,770 --> 01:24:06,710
We're actually going to involve Mr. Harris to do some regular maintenance and have that be the contact person for Duke.

626
01:24:06,830 --> 01:24:10,830
And that's who neighbors would normally call as our code enforcement department anyways.

627
01:24:13,830 --> 01:24:27,310
Okay, so the applicant submitted conditions, those are found in your packet and those would be under attachment 19 called revised zoning conditions.

628
01:24:28,590 --> 01:24:39,110
Also, those conditions reference the sketch plan. The sketch plan is found under attachment 20 called the revised sketch plan.

629
01:24:40,290 --> 01:24:54,290
Right now I'm going to go over the changes that were made to those conditions, okay, so we've got number 6 and the applicant added the words as depicted in the sketch plan.

630
01:24:54,290 --> 01:24:59,170
Condition number 8 was changed to Condition number 11.

631
01:25:00,110 --> 01:25:20,250
And then three new conditions were added, those were eight, nine, and ten. So condition eight states, additional supplemental vegetation, screening in the form of southern wax murdals, and pompous grass or similar, shall be provided on the east side of the parcel as depicted in the sketch plan.

632
01:25:20,870 --> 01:25:27,900
Revised Zoning Condition Number 9 states that a gate made of a material compliant with the UDO will

633
01:25:29,610 --> 01:25:35,250
Right, I'll bring that up after I unless you want to bring it up now, Eric, it's fine.

634
01:25:36,110 --> 01:25:39,390
Age two of that, so just because people can read along.

635
01:25:39,610 --> 01:25:40,530
So it'll be attachment,

636
01:25:43,430 --> 01:25:45,230
like the next attachment, yeah.

637
01:25:45,430 --> 01:25:46,730
Thank you.

638
01:25:50,030 --> 01:25:53,330
Would you like me to start over just so we, you're clear?

639
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:08,960
The condition eight about the screening in the form of southern wax murdals and pompous grass.

640
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:18,060
Going to be right here and right here.

641
01:26:22,550 --> 01:26:28,070
And then we have revised zoning condition number nine.

642
01:26:29,330 --> 01:26:36,410
A gate made of material compliant with the UDO will be installed in the transmission right of way

643
01:26:36,410 --> 01:26:42,970
and the southeast corner of the property adjacent to Morrisville Carpenter Road in

644
01:26:47,100 --> 01:26:48,100
this location.

645
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:59,500
Revised zoning condition number 10 states that the gate and fence at the entrance lot to the

646
01:26:59,500 --> 01:27:08,620
substation off Morrisville Carpenter Road will be replaced to be compliant with the UDO and that is

647
01:27:08,620 --> 01:27:10,960
great at the entrance here.

648
01:27:14,050 --> 01:27:18,030
So these are the revised set that was submitted.

649
01:27:18,570 --> 01:27:21,330
And if town council has any questions of me,

650
01:27:21,330 --> 01:27:23,210
I'm happy to answer those now.

651
01:27:25,030 --> 01:27:26,810
I don't remember if I have any questions for Ms. Russell

652
01:27:26,810 --> 01:27:29,850
or staff or the applicant at this time.

653
01:27:33,790 --> 01:27:34,650
Thank you.

654
01:27:36,090 --> 01:27:38,130
So I would like to make this motion.

655
01:27:39,250 --> 01:27:40,970
I find a proposed zoning map amendment

656
01:27:40,970 --> 01:27:43,150
to be consistent with the town of Morrisville's

657
01:27:43,150 --> 01:27:51,270
comprehensive plan that hereby make a motion to approve with conditions ordinance 2022-438-0 of the

658
01:27:51,270 --> 01:27:56,270
Morseville Town Council, approving a zoning map amendment for 940 Morseville Carpenter Road,

659
01:27:56,610 --> 01:28:00,650
located along the north side of Morseville Carpenter Road, east of its intersection with

660
01:28:00,650 --> 01:28:08,790
leafy creek drive to the conditional low-density residential zoning district REZ-22-0010.

661
01:28:08,790 --> 01:28:16,110
Further, I find that the post-Zoning Map Amendment is reasonable, consistent with the Comprehensive

662
01:28:16,110 --> 01:28:21,970
Plan, and is in the public interest because A. Requested Zoning Map Amendment is consistent

663
01:28:21,970 --> 01:28:28,090
with the 2021 Land Use Plan which identifies the subject property as institutional and includes

664
01:28:28,090 --> 01:28:33,850
utilities as preferred use, B. The Requested Zoning Map Amendment is consistent with the public

665
01:28:33,850 --> 01:28:39,610
interest and addresses a demonstrated community need for electric power and see the requested

666
01:28:39,610 --> 01:28:43,830
disowning map amendment for this consistent with the intent of the unified development

667
01:28:43,830 --> 01:28:48,490
ordinance because applying the town with electric power meets the general purpose of the

668
01:28:48,490 --> 01:28:53,070
ordinance, which is to guide and manage the development of Morrisville in a way that takes

669
01:28:53,070 --> 01:28:57,970
an account present and future needs and resources with anyone like the second this motion.

670
01:28:58,790 --> 01:29:00,450
I'll second to motion.

671
01:29:01,750 --> 01:29:01,770
Okay.

672
01:29:02,530 --> 01:29:04,310
All those in favor, please say aye.

673
01:29:04,810 --> 01:29:05,330
Aye.

674
01:29:05,590 --> 01:29:05,630
Aye.

675
01:29:05,630 --> 01:29:06,190
Any opposed?

676
01:29:07,210 --> 01:29:08,530
You're none that carries unanimously.

677
01:29:09,370 --> 01:29:09,950
Seven zero.

678
01:29:10,830 --> 01:29:13,590
At this time with the permission of my fellow council members.

679
01:29:14,330 --> 01:29:18,750
I would like to take this time to read a statement on behalf of the Council regarding this item.

680
01:29:19,850 --> 01:29:20,050
Okay.

681
01:29:20,610 --> 01:29:20,750
Okay.

682
01:29:21,730 --> 01:29:21,850
Okay.

683
01:29:21,850 --> 01:29:22,970
Tom

684
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:30,880
Council wishes to thank all the engaged residents and community members who have helped guide us in

685
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:35,140
deliberating on the rezoning request by Duke Energy for expansion of the existing

686
01:29:35,140 --> 01:29:40,460
Morrisville carpenter road substation, especially those most directly affected by this request.

687
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:45,320
Your voices have been an important part of our deliberations and have been heard.

688
01:29:46,180 --> 01:29:49,980
This decision has been one of the toughest we have considered in many years.

689
01:29:49,980 --> 01:29:59,160
Our duty is to evaluate decisions in the light of what is best for the entire town while recognizing different perspectives of various stakeholders in this process.

690
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:15,320
The decision was not made lightly. Since Duke Energy submitted this rezoning request, town council has been involved both individually and collectively in gaining an understanding of the electrical power needs, options and issues and concerns of the nearby residents.

691
01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:19,960
countless hours of meetings, calls with Duke Energy and residents, and

692
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:24,600
substation tours have occurred to ensure we have listened and understood the challenges.

693
01:30:25,580 --> 01:30:30,140
Town Council has strongly advocated for consideration of options that take into account the concerns

694
01:30:30,140 --> 01:30:36,140
expressed by residents. This included ensuring that questions asked by residents have been addressed,

695
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:40,960
and a specifically that consideration of a southern lot expansion option would be explored.

696
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:47,280
Duke Energy indicated early in their process that they invalidated a southern option, or

697
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:53,180
proposed the northern option for a variety of factors, including design layout of the existing

698
01:30:53,180 --> 01:30:58,820
substation, the ability to reduce the tree loss and visibility of the site. Duke Energy

699
01:30:58,820 --> 01:31:03,600
reconsidered the southern lot at the request of our residents and town council, but have again

700
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,080
indicated that is not a viable option.

701
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:11,660
The timing of the project and impacts on the length of the design and permitting process,

702
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:16,960
security concerns and costs, have all been cited as reasons for the northern expansion.

703
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:23,560
Town Council has also recently become aware that the North Carolina Utilities Commission has the authority

704
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:29,780
and could order construction on the northern side of the sub-station if Town Council voted against the expansion.

705
01:31:29,780 --> 01:31:35,280
The project could then be constructed without the benefit of the conditions town council and staff

706
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:40,720
have negotiated to mitigate the impact on the surrounding area residents, which included additional

707
01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:44,980
opaque fence and tree buffers as well as some aesthetic improvements to the site.

708
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:49,140
Decisions about our community should remain in our control.

709
01:31:50,380 --> 01:31:55,120
As a result, town council has approved the rezoning request with these conditions as our best possible

710
01:31:55,120 --> 01:32:00,760
resolution of this needed expansion. We have made clear to Duke our concerns about the lack of

711
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:05,880
communication about both the timing of the future power needs and the process for being included

712
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:12,020
and involved in discussion of the issues and options. The town will closely monitor the construction

713
01:32:12,020 --> 01:32:18,080
of the substation expansion and care and maintenance of this site to ensure Duke energy is the good

714
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:20,760
and partner we expect them to be.

715
01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:27,040
Morrisville's growth, particularly in the life sciences sector, benefits all residents through the creation of jobs,

716
01:32:27,440 --> 01:32:33,360
and growth of tax base that helps the town manage and control costs, and fund the services we provide to our residents.

717
01:32:34,180 --> 01:32:38,160
This approval supports that growth for both our current and future residents and businesses.

718
01:32:39,020 --> 01:32:44,660
The Morrisville Carpenter Road Substation is the first phase of meeting these current and future electrical power needs.

719
01:32:44,660 --> 01:32:47,760
The location and construction of an additional new

720
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,200
substation is needed in the near future.

721
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:53,220
I may also have significant impacts on our community.

722
01:32:54,020 --> 01:32:57,740
Town Council will be fully engaged and informed in that process for us

723
01:32:57,740 --> 01:33:00,780
and for our stakeholders as this process gets underway.

724
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,000
You are an important part of the town of Morrisville

725
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,660
and our work on your behalf will continue.

726
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:11,040
This time, Brandon Zutama.

727
01:33:11,460 --> 01:33:14,720
Deputy Council Manager will facilitate the next item on our agenda.

728
01:33:30,820 --> 01:33:32,760
Good evening, Mayor members of Council.

729
01:33:32,860 --> 01:33:34,060
Thank you for your time tonight.

730
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:38,120
Back for our third discussion of the town ordinances update.

731
01:33:39,620 --> 01:33:43,100
So just as a brief reminder, this is the review process

732
01:33:43,100 --> 01:33:46,020
and the focus on why we're doing this review.

733
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:48,940
That includes making sure that our content is current

734
01:33:48,940 --> 01:33:50,640
and reflects practice and policy.

735
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:52,820
Always important and anything we do.

736
01:33:53,220 --> 01:33:57,240
Identifying missing content any outdated or unneeded content.

737
01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:04,460
We have stated all references North Carolina General to that huge approach to the adapters of the UDO and to our own audiences.

738
01:34:05,300 --> 01:34:08,300
Some minor edits have been done just to clean up work.

739
01:34:08,940 --> 01:34:16,340
We've also been careful to go through all of our documents to ensure we have inclusive language, part of our continuing focus on DDI,

740
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:21,460
with our community, and then ensuring just to face the formatting throughout all of the documents.

741
01:34:23,460 --> 01:34:28,700
So, based on our past two discussions, I had just a couple of items to bring back to you

742
01:34:28,700 --> 01:34:34,940
with a little follow-up. One is smoking and vaping. Again, a reminder quickly on what our current

743
01:34:34,940 --> 01:34:40,640
town ordinances, it does prohibit smoking and town facilities and town vehicles. It does not

744
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:45,840
prohibit tobacco use or vaping. And the current ordinance has some language that is no longer

745
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:50,900
consistent with what is used by weak county and in some cases North Carolina general statutes.

746
01:34:51,860 --> 01:34:59,900
The last time we talked, there was some question about whether or not there was already a state statute that outlawed the use of smoking.

747
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:11,520
Or tobacco products in public, just for clarification for you, this is 138496, which does prohibited in restaurants and bars, but it does not prohibit in other places.

748
01:35:12,300 --> 01:35:22,100
And then chapter 143 has a specific reference to state buildings, but no ordinance generally relating to businesses other than bars and restaurants, just for clarification.

749
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:27,680
Looking at the White County ordinance, again, that was updated last November.

750
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:33,360
They expanded their language to finding smoking, also expanded their smoking restrictions

751
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:37,160
to additional county facilities and particularly to public places.

752
01:35:37,820 --> 01:35:43,220
So they now prohibit smoking, baking, and vaping, excuse me, and tobacco use similar to

753
01:35:43,220 --> 01:35:44,100
what we're proposing.

754
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:50,280
They do not allow the use in any county facility or vehicle and not on county grounds, and

755
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:55,440
It is not allowed in public places in unincorporated areas of the county, just some examples,

756
01:35:55,740 --> 01:36:00,240
banks, bowling alleys, gaming centers, grocery stores, movie theaters, all of those.

757
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:05,360
And again, as we discussed last time, the majority of those owners, I think, prohibit that

758
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:10,300
by choice, but now that choice doesn't exist as an option in the county in unincorporated

759
01:36:10,300 --> 01:36:10,800
areas.

760
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:16,040
This is just to summary if you're interested of what the language is in there, I'm not

761
01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:19,620
going to take the time to read that to you, you've seen it in the packet, and we discussed

762
01:36:19,620 --> 01:36:22,760
previously. Again, very similar to what we're proposing.

763
01:36:25,990 --> 01:36:28,270
So you have a couple of options at this point.

764
01:36:28,550 --> 01:36:33,770
One would be to accept the updated ordinance as presented, and that would prohibit smoking,

765
01:36:33,810 --> 01:36:38,790
vaking, vaping, and tobacco use in our facilities, in our parks, and in vehicles.

766
01:36:39,730 --> 01:36:44,610
You could direct additional revisions to the smoking ordinance and address those revisions in the next

767
01:36:44,610 --> 01:36:49,570
round of updates coming later this year. Or if you chose to, you could direct changes now,

768
01:36:49,570 --> 01:36:54,570
and that would push back approval of this ordinance amendment packet to, I would say, at least March 28th.

769
01:36:55,950 --> 01:36:58,330
So I'm open to answer any questions you may have.

770
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:06,720
I would click a question about the chart where there's the purple and the yellow with this match us to Rollsville.

771
01:37:07,620 --> 01:37:09,060
And that would be the purple all the way across.

772
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:13,560
This would match us to Rollsville except for government grounds the way it's written right now.

773
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,900
We did put it in our buildings, facilities and parks.

774
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,860
Our ours drafted as it is right now does not address just on the grounds.

775
01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:26,660
outside the buildings. Correct. Correct. That's the clarification I was

776
01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:31,360
in. Any other questions on this item? Without any other, oh yeah,

777
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:36,380
Councillor Morgaramela? Hello, by Councillor Morruffender. So, talking about the

778
01:37:36,380 --> 01:37:38,480
urban grounds, right? Like the parking lot.

779
01:37:41,390 --> 01:37:43,290
My question is, we'll be having

780
01:37:43,290 --> 01:37:44,710
street vest.

781
01:37:47,210 --> 01:37:51,410
So this allows them to smoke in the parking lot. They would

782
01:37:51,410 --> 01:38:07,170
Under this, be allowed to smoke in the parking lot, and, of course, in the street, which we don't typically control, we don't have the regulation of smoking in the street to my knowledge, but yeah, it would allow for smoking on our town grounds that are close to or a part of the event.

783
01:38:07,170 --> 01:38:07,490
of

784
01:38:09,890 --> 01:38:10,910
the streets to there.

785
01:38:13,730 --> 01:38:16,790
So, in short, when we have pound events,

786
01:38:21,220 --> 01:38:23,840
I understand the normal circumstances, they

787
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:27,200
can prevent expression use kind of the thing that we have been doing.

788
01:38:27,460 --> 01:38:28,020
Is that it?

789
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:35,860
So, we have control of that currently when we do things in our parks or on our own facilities,

790
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:40,900
I think the challenge with something like Springfest or July 3rd is that you're mixing

791
01:38:40,900 --> 01:38:44,680
our property with the street and potentially with others.

792
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:50,440
And again, as town green evolves, and that becomes, you know, sort of the more focal location

793
01:38:50,440 --> 01:38:54,480
that'll address some of your concern, because we get certainly prohibits smoking within

794
01:38:54,480 --> 01:38:59,100
the town center while the town green in the town center once we begin to transition events

795
01:38:59,100 --> 01:39:00,040
to there.

796
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:03,560
Councilmember Fender, please.

797
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:06,720
Yeah, I have a question regarding the government grounds.

798
01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:15,580
If we allow that, are there designated areas on the grounds that are smoking?

799
01:39:15,580 --> 01:39:18,320
We don't currently have designated areas.

800
01:39:18,940 --> 01:39:28,020
Yeah, I have an issue with that because, you know, if someone go there for group of people go outside,

801
01:39:29,660 --> 01:39:35,600
and they could be just standing around in front of a building.

802
01:39:36,620 --> 01:39:44,310
And I don't want to have to walk through that to get into the building

803
01:39:44,310 --> 01:39:53,870
And I've been in situations like that, and it's, I don't think anyone should have to be subject to this smoke.

804
01:39:55,910 --> 01:39:59,970
I mean, I don't know if, what the options are.

805
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:27,640
Are with that? I mean, I think it's fine if you allow it on government grounds. There's a designated area away from doors that people would be going in and out of, or just ban it all together. I would be in favor of that. To be just like Rollsville, then you're eliminating the chance to cigarette butts all over the ground as well.

806
01:40:28,820 --> 01:40:35,500
So of the two, I would suggest if you want to consider one of the other, I would suggest not on grounds at all.

807
01:40:35,660 --> 01:40:39,400
I think creating smoking areas is great some of its own issues.

808
01:40:40,100 --> 01:40:44,840
So if you wanted to consider that, I would suggest you consider barring it from town,

809
01:40:45,220 --> 01:40:47,500
own property period.

810
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:52,900
And we could certainly, if there's a consensus around that, could modify the language

811
01:40:52,900 --> 01:40:55,960
in the ordinance now simply expand it from

812
01:40:56,700 --> 01:40:59,060
in town facilities, parks,

813
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:02,880
and to include on park or

814
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:04,380
assume the on town property.

815
01:41:05,260 --> 01:41:07,560
My only, I mean, I would, I'm highly

816
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:11,560
in favor of doing that, not only concern is for

817
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:17,470
our employees, like if there's police officers

818
01:41:17,470 --> 01:41:19,570
or people working in the

819
01:41:19,570 --> 01:41:24,930
conversation with all the staff, where would they go?

820
01:41:25,690 --> 01:41:32,110
So you would, my expectation is it would end up like if you drive over towards Raleigh and

821
01:41:32,110 --> 01:41:36,250
go past one of the health care facilities, they walk out onto the sidewalk, off of the property

822
01:41:36,250 --> 01:41:41,710
of the hospital and smoke and you would likely, for the few that I think we have do that,

823
01:41:42,230 --> 01:41:44,050
you would push people to the sidewalk.

824
01:41:47,410 --> 01:41:50,110
So they could just go out on the sidewalk right here.

825
01:41:50,110 --> 01:41:53,170
off of town property out onto the public.

826
01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:59,940
How the other council members feel about that, but I'd be in favor of that

827
01:41:59,940 --> 01:42:00,440
option.

828
01:42:03,230 --> 01:42:08,270
All the way in, I'm very much interested in the public off the grounds, I want to be really

829
01:42:08,270 --> 01:42:09,650
sensitive though,

830
01:42:14,620 --> 01:42:18,960
but I think a medium might be, I know that the Convention Center in

831
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:25,600
Raleigh says like, no smoking within 50, so that would be a way to avoid the issue of

832
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,980
having to be exposed to smoke when you don't want to be.

833
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:31,580
as a possible middle ground,

834
01:42:35,300 --> 01:42:38,600
or people chime in, I think we're going to have written.

835
01:42:40,380 --> 01:42:42,660
So I'm going to say the way in if I wish.

836
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:44,240
I'm a Garamela.

837
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:52,620
I think, you know, like, I'm okay with the way it is for now and if it gets bad, then we can

838
01:42:52,620 --> 01:42:54,760
come back and address it, you know.

839
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:59,380
because there are pros and cons for doing that because

840
01:43:01,210 --> 01:43:04,010
town staff staying on the street

841
01:43:11,460 --> 01:43:11,860
and the

842
01:43:11,860 --> 01:43:15,860
ignition is not the right that they'll come up saying

843
01:43:15,860 --> 01:43:17,140
why can't you have it in parts?

844
01:43:17,540 --> 01:43:19,720
Why can't you have it in other areas? So that opens up whatever

845
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:26,520
you can. So I think right now, you know, we can see if it gets

846
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:30,800
back. Right. Then we can pick the next day when I

847
01:43:34,420 --> 01:43:48,980
So I agree this is step in the right direction, but I'm I also agree with the middle ground, but I'm we say 50 feet from an entrance and I don't think I want to see folks standing out on the sidewalk smoking either.

848
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:55,080
And I think it will be hard to have a designated area so I'm also okay.

849
01:43:55,240 --> 01:44:00,920
Aren't you coming back Brandon again with updates on this in the near future?

850
01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:07,520
not on these items we expect to come back probably and I would say later this year could be this summer

851
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:12,560
potentially with some other updates related to some parking issues that we're still doing some

852
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:13,740
study but

853
01:44:16,780 --> 01:44:22,060
if you if I may if you wanted to address something that's different from what's in the

854
01:44:22,060 --> 01:44:27,760
draft ordinance you could do that tonight I believe when you and I'll let the town attorney correct me here

855
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:33,880
but when you make your motion assuming you would do that if you make a motion to adopt the ordinance

856
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:42,360
You could do that as amended and I could give you the language in advance that I would add to that section in regards to 50 feet away from any entrance.

857
01:44:49,750 --> 01:44:52,070
On the 50 feet, maybe.

858
01:44:53,270 --> 01:44:54,950
After we hear from council member of body.

859
01:44:55,530 --> 01:44:58,050
How will we designate the 50 feet?

860
01:44:58,310 --> 01:44:59,950
Just be general knowledge or will it?

861
01:45:04,060 --> 01:45:10,480
We could certainly put some signage at the entrances to our building. I think, generally, people will

862
01:45:10,480 --> 01:45:17,000
self-complie with that. I don't think we need to, to necessarily mark a 50 feet. If we felt that we were

863
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:22,200
building issue, I think the initial would be to educate our staff, particularly, and to add some

864
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:23,540
signage outside of our doors.

865
01:45:28,780 --> 01:45:32,280
Not making motion individually, we're going to do it all together, yeah.

866
01:45:36,740 --> 01:45:44,500
Okay, so if we approach you from that direction and here's that chart and I would put us purple all the way across with the exception of the public places

867
01:45:44,500 --> 01:45:48,840
In a sense in that we would prohibit a tune extent on government ground,

868
01:45:54,420 --> 01:45:54,500
so

869
01:45:54,500 --> 01:46:04,080
Okay, just very briefly you have not heard this before, but needed to just do a quick clarification with you in doing sort of a final run through on the ordinances

870
01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:08,200
is recognize that we had one inconsistency, we had not previously addressed.

871
01:46:09,140 --> 01:46:14,360
So our false alarm fines are included in the user fee schedule.

872
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:16,460
And we don't normally do that with fines.

873
01:46:16,660 --> 01:46:18,880
We rely on the town ordinances to do that.

874
01:46:19,100 --> 01:46:23,820
But because this is applicable to so many people and because we want to make sure that

875
01:46:23,820 --> 01:46:27,040
we're transparent, it's been included in the user fee schedule.

876
01:46:27,340 --> 01:46:32,440
What we realized is that this is what's in the user fee schedule on the bottom half of

877
01:46:32,440 --> 01:46:40,600
And it's basically an escalating fee, so essentially the first three are freebies and then from four to five you get a fee and if it's six to seven

878
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:44,580
You get a higher fee again trying to deter the false alarms

879
01:46:44,580 --> 01:46:53,280
But what we found is the current ordinance just references a single one hundred dollar civil penalty for false alarms so that doesn't quite line up

880
01:46:53,280 --> 01:47:01,600
So this is the current language on the top the civil penalty that talks about a one hundred dollar civil penalty, which can be recovered by the town

881
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:18,980
So, on the bottom of that page, you will see what we're recommending changing, which is just removing the $100 reference and adding a line that the civil penalty to be assessed is included in the town's user fee schedule that is adopted annually by town council as a part of the adopted operating budget.

882
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:22,200
I'm a garam all of this.

883
01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:25,060
So, I wanted to be more specific.

884
01:47:32,230 --> 01:47:37,050
I answered that as one of the three is because we're renting it out.

885
01:47:40,540 --> 01:47:45,280
So, those are generally, you know, that goes back to the HOA or the owner of the building.

886
01:47:46,180 --> 01:47:52,520
So, if you had three events with three different groups, that would be sort of three freebies.

887
01:47:52,620 --> 01:47:56,420
And if it went off a fourth time, then that would become a false alarm penalty.

888
01:48:00,130 --> 01:48:08,770
The approach is to put the emphasis on the owner of the building to educate and inform and hold people responsible that are utilizing the facility.

889
01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:16,240
It's respectfully who pulls the alarm doesn't change the response and the commitment of

890
01:48:16,240 --> 01:48:17,940
town resources to that.

891
01:48:20,730 --> 01:48:21,530
I think it this

892
01:48:36,820 --> 01:48:53,800
is not a new table, but I understand what you're saying and we can certainly

893
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,940
we actually have a new newsletter that's going out to our HOAs.

894
01:48:56,940 --> 01:49:02,720
So we can use, we can certainly inform in that and make contact with other folks, we know might do anything else.

895
01:49:02,720 --> 01:49:06,380
Any other rental, like, you know, campers are like the other places.

896
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:07,160
Yep.

897
01:49:15,090 --> 01:49:16,210
Thank you.

898
01:49:16,670 --> 01:49:20,070
Sir, this is for commercial residential HOA's apartments.

899
01:49:20,830 --> 01:49:22,230
Anyone that has a police alarm?

900
01:49:23,830 --> 01:49:24,670
Also fire alarms?

901
01:49:25,190 --> 01:49:28,090
Now, this is specifically related to police alarms.

902
01:49:28,450 --> 01:49:31,110
Fire alarms are covered separately in another ordinance.

903
01:49:31,110 --> 01:49:37,270
I don't know.

904
01:49:38,830 --> 01:49:39,070
Yeah.

905
01:49:39,070 --> 01:49:41,970
This is somebody you know pulls the door when he alarms on and it triggers.

906
01:49:43,990 --> 01:49:44,230
Yeah.

907
01:49:45,430 --> 01:49:50,350
Often it's my understanding like what they try to call the owner first.

908
01:49:50,410 --> 01:49:50,770
Correct.

909
01:49:51,950 --> 01:49:52,310
Correct.

910
01:49:53,290 --> 01:49:55,030
The buffer in there before.

911
01:49:56,070 --> 01:49:59,770
typically we're not, it's a town the police department is not the first contact, we're

912
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:01,680
Typically, like the third.

913
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:03,620
About educating the public.

914
01:50:05,020 --> 01:50:06,460
As a voice, then, we'll reach out.

915
01:50:06,780 --> 01:50:07,040
Yep.

916
01:50:08,140 --> 01:50:10,260
Any other questions about this one?

917
01:50:11,540 --> 01:50:12,820
Okay, thank you.

918
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:18,860
So, we had talked about park use by organized groups.

919
01:50:18,940 --> 01:50:21,440
Again, appreciate your discussion and your feedback.

920
01:50:22,260 --> 01:50:28,160
So, have updated that to change it from required to rent the field to reserve the field.

921
01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:35,620
Again, we need that ability to track use and understand who's anticipating being there, but we will not charge a fee.

922
01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:40,680
We will simply ask them to reserve a view at the time that they want their event to occur.

923
01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:46,340
And again, this is just kind of showing you how we've made the update to the ordinance.

924
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:53,720
So now talks about obtaining the proper town facility rental reservation rather than a paid reservation.

925
01:50:53,720 --> 01:51:08,720
And then just clarifies that there could be other applicable permits, especially if it's a special event, or depending on what if it involves a specific facility that's rented out, there could be a fee, but there won't be a fee related to just utilizing a field.

926
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:13,780
I think that aligns with what you had asked us to address.

927
01:51:14,140 --> 01:51:15,380
Sir, Council Member Garamela.

928
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:27,000
It's the only thing that a question is regarding resting as the resting feels all at the same time are like

929
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:38,660
just a part of the next group, so I think you can then have a friend or I don't want to be in the way that all Marshal grounds are ready

930
01:51:38,660 --> 01:51:47,400
Right now, it's on a rotating basis and it's, you know, because not every field is the same depending on how it's constructed and where it exists with the

931
01:51:47,400 --> 01:51:54,660
the water and all. So no, it is never like no, no fields are open. This weekend is one field might not be open on a given day.

932
01:51:54,740 --> 01:51:55,840
And that's where we will advertise.

933
01:51:58,760 --> 01:52:00,140
We will do our best, yes.

934
01:52:00,980 --> 01:52:05,980
And we'll have the ability to walk out, you know, those sections in the reservation system.

935
01:52:07,640 --> 01:52:07,720
Okay.

936
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:10,580
Any other questions on that one?

937
01:52:12,710 --> 01:52:16,950
All right. You'd ask me to follow up a little bit on parking left side to curb.

938
01:52:17,790 --> 01:52:22,190
So, again, here's the curtain ordinance, 58-95, no vehicle.

939
01:52:22,510 --> 01:52:26,970
She'll stop or park with its left side to the curb in any residential or commercial area,

940
01:52:27,230 --> 01:52:30,850
except that on one way streets vehicles, she'll stop headed in the direction of traffic.

941
01:52:32,370 --> 01:52:36,450
So, again, that is largely a safety matter because you don't want somebody pulling off

942
01:52:36,450 --> 01:52:40,670
to the left when they try to pull out their pulling into oncoming or having to cross over

943
01:52:40,670 --> 01:52:41,630
oncoming traffic.

944
01:52:42,050 --> 01:52:45,610
It's much safer to be on the right side of the street and pull into your own lane

945
01:52:45,610 --> 01:52:52,290
travel. So did, well, I won't say I did, our police department did some research and was kind

946
01:52:52,290 --> 01:52:57,870
of enough to provide it to me. This is what the parking citations looked like for 2021 and

947
01:52:57,870 --> 01:53:08,870
22 calendar year. So total parking citations was 197 and 2020, 360 and 2021 and 365 and 2022.

948
01:53:09,450 --> 01:53:14,050
Obviously, well, I won't say obviously, the 2020 number is related to COVID.

949
01:53:14,050 --> 01:53:24,170
just there wasn't as much enforcement and other things occurring so each of those years you can see the percentage of the citations for left side of curve versus the total

950
01:53:24,170 --> 01:53:38,250
So in 2020 there was about 58 percent of citations issued for left of curve parking 51 percent in 21 44 percent in 22 for a 49 percent average of the citations that are issued.

951
01:53:40,810 --> 01:53:45,950
So, our recommended version of Chapter 58 does not include a change to this section.

952
01:53:46,070 --> 01:53:49,550
I know there have been some questions about when there's being issued and why there's being issued.

953
01:53:50,370 --> 01:53:57,350
So, the options I would propose to you, you can leave the ordinance as it is, and we would continue to prohibit parking left side to curb.

954
01:53:57,970 --> 01:54:03,930
You could request additional research by staff and include this in the next round of ordinance updates this year.

955
01:54:03,930 --> 01:54:11,190
Or you could direct changes now, and that would likely push back our approval to at least March 28, similar to the last issue we discussed.

956
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:15,340
Robin Johnson, please, followed by Councilmember Garmo.

957
01:54:16,220 --> 01:54:17,300
Thank you.

958
01:54:18,460 --> 01:54:25,340
I, for the most part, agree with the, you know, parking on the proper side of the road.

959
01:54:25,440 --> 01:54:27,500
I think it helps with safety.

960
01:54:28,280 --> 01:54:33,440
It helps with our, our buses, school buses going along roads and so forth like that.

961
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:42,240
know there are some neighborhoods that have very have alleys and that kind of a challenge finding

962
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:50,180
proper parking. I would wonder what is the second highest parking violation because you just

963
01:54:50,180 --> 01:54:58,420
gave us a chart that's talked about specifically this issue, but is there a predominantly,

964
01:54:58,420 --> 01:54:59,820
it, you know.

965
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:10,340
Other kind of violation that's popping up in the parking violations so that just to educate us and make the public aware as well.

966
01:55:10,840 --> 01:55:15,480
So this is the predominant one obviously, as you can see from the percentages like it wins out.

967
01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:19,300
So there is no sort of clear second if you will.

968
01:55:19,720 --> 01:55:23,020
There are a number of different violations that get smaller percentages.

969
01:55:23,020 --> 01:55:34,740
And so some of those are parking in handicap zone, parking in parking zone, parking too close to the curb, blocking a hydrant, any number of different violations that get enforced.

970
01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:41,920
Yeah, there's no clear, this is the second one. The other thing I would share is that this enforcement occurs across the town.

971
01:55:42,500 --> 01:55:50,960
So the police department was good in providing me a map of where it's done, and I think I counted 13 or 14 different communities or neighborhoods where this occurs.

972
01:55:50,960 --> 01:56:05,100
And so this is not focused in any one neighborhood, it's it's and it's across the town. I mean, it's from north the southeast to west and and pretty evenly spread out based on population and any one of those neighborhoods. This is not a

973
01:56:05,620 --> 01:56:11,220
We're only going there to take care of it. It's across the town for safety concerns. That's helpful. Thank you very much.

974
01:56:11,220 --> 01:56:11,680
Just me.

975
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:13,860
Can't remember Garam L of this?

976
01:56:14,280 --> 01:56:15,380
Yeah, for me.

977
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:19,820
I would say, like, you know, request additional research because my whole theory about this

978
01:56:19,820 --> 01:56:25,440
one is if you look at it, it's almost like 50 percent and understand the safety, understand

979
01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:31,660
the need of it, but when our neighboring towns are not doing it, there might be a reason why

980
01:56:31,660 --> 01:56:33,060
they're not doing it either.

981
01:56:33,420 --> 01:56:35,460
You know, Kerry doesn't do it.

982
01:56:35,460 --> 01:56:40,680
effects has only one area that they do it and so I don't know, I don't think around those

983
01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:42,920
it too. So,

984
01:56:44,940 --> 01:56:49,580
by and I'm very much a mixed bag that can carry more so and go around so

985
01:56:49,580 --> 01:56:54,580
I'd like, you know, and most of the times I'm seeing like the people who are getting are

986
01:56:55,400 --> 01:57:04,540
who are coming first time into more so or not aware of it, you know, and I've seen a lot of people

987
01:57:04,540 --> 01:57:10,000
appeal and those opinions are all being rejected none of them have been successful there.

988
01:57:11,720 --> 01:57:13,940
So what are we achieving out of it?

989
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:20,840
That's the key where I feel like a safety is one, but at the same time, it's a drain

990
01:57:20,840 --> 01:57:30,680
on MPD with this data that they had to go police and give tickets and then go through that whole

991
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:43,960
For me, it's like, by the time I'm not doing and you also sort of like not killing a different stretch, it doesn't require that too, you know, it's not mandatory in there.

992
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:51,160
So understand the safety, understand everything, but when our neighboring council not doing it, why are we forcing it?

993
01:57:51,160 --> 01:58:01,240
Well, so I think some of our neighbors are doing it. Again, I think that some have different levels of, and you saw that in an email I shared with you in regards to this.

994
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:07,160
So there are different levels or different approaches to the enforcement.

995
01:58:08,100 --> 01:58:13,560
And again, look at Carrie and Apex. I have not looked at Durham. I know that Gardner enforces this as an example.

996
01:58:14,340 --> 01:58:22,060
And again, the other thing that I would suggest is if you look at it, as you initially look at it, I think 160 may seem like a big number.

997
01:58:22,060 --> 01:58:31,000
But that's one citation every other day over the course of the year, and that's also spread out again over 13 or 14 neighborhoods.

998
01:58:31,940 --> 01:58:38,380
So you might get one ticket issued in your neighborhood a month in any given neighborhood a month.

999
01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:46,900
There might be one citation issued over the course of those that leads to this 160-ish, you know, every other day number.

1000
01:58:46,900 --> 01:58:58,700
But here what you're saying, but I think it is, it is a safety concern, you know, and in terms of the burden, you know, sometimes these are occurring, based on complaints, sometimes these are occurring during just routine.

1001
01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:02,960
So I understand it could appear to be a burden.

1002
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:05,960
I think it's just part of their job responsibility,

1003
01:59:08,440 --> 01:59:09,520
but understand it's workload.

1004
01:59:10,700 --> 01:59:20,000
And other things also, where when the ticket is given, I got several phone calls regarding this, and I know it's all across.

1005
01:59:20,260 --> 01:59:28,840
It's not targeted to any internet and fairly so, is it enough to know if their points are getting added to the insurance.

1006
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:37,960
And many times I had to say, like, just go paid, it is more pound audience and it's not going and hitting the DMV points or this kind of thing.

1007
01:59:37,960 --> 01:59:41,820
I think that's a good point, parking tickets are not reported to DMV.

1008
01:59:42,300 --> 01:59:45,160
This is a town parking ticket with a civil penalty.

1009
01:59:45,680 --> 01:59:47,240
This does not impact insurance.

1010
01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:49,300
This is not going to driver's history.

1011
01:59:50,060 --> 01:59:54,600
Yeah, and so that is one of the major anxiety that people first get.

1012
01:59:55,020 --> 01:59:56,800
Oh my god, you know, like this is happening.

1013
01:59:57,640 --> 01:59:59,960
And rest of the other ones, I'm 100%.

1014
02:00:00,080 --> 02:00:28,040
We're talking in front of fire hydrant. We'll give it. You know, like near the curb or, you know, where, you know, like fire access is stopped or blocking someone's driving, 100% but this is for me is like, you know, I understand it, but is there any some flex there? So that looking at 50, almost 50% of the tickets are based on that. What is the middle ground, what can we do, you know, like.

1015
02:00:31,400 --> 02:00:33,040
Council member, please.

1016
02:00:34,480 --> 02:00:36,500
I just want to reiterate that,

1017
02:00:38,200 --> 02:00:40,900
Brandon said it's a safety issue.

1018
02:00:41,260 --> 02:00:44,820
Parking on the wrong side of the road is a safety issue.

1019
02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:49,600
And it's not something that is,

1020
02:00:50,080 --> 02:00:53,240
I mean it's pretty universal anywhere you go.

1021
02:00:53,740 --> 02:00:56,640
I mean, I don't care if

1022
02:00:56,640 --> 02:01:07,120
County Carey doesn't do it, it's pretty universal across the United States in different states, different towns that you don't park on the wrong side of the road.

1023
02:01:08,240 --> 02:01:18,220
So for us to be like, lacks about that, you're introducing more risk of a kid riding his bike and getting run over.

1024
02:01:18,220 --> 02:01:23,980
So, I'm pretty against trying to change that ordinance.

1025
02:01:24,120 --> 02:01:30,900
I know in my neighborhood right now, we already have so many issues with people parking

1026
02:01:30,900 --> 02:01:38,840
in the wrong places, people speeding through our neighborhood as the chief heard the complaint

1027
02:01:38,840 --> 02:01:50,680
about before, to add one more digital risk in the met is not something I want to see occur in our

1028
02:01:50,680 --> 02:01:57,880
town. I'm very much opposed to changing that. There's a reason why that ordinance is there.

1029
02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:06,500
And if it's an educational issue, then we need to do that. But it's not some anomaly. It's pretty

1030
02:02:06,500 --> 02:02:07,460
universal.

1031
02:02:11,560 --> 02:02:14,320
I'm going to remind you what is the

1032
02:02:14,320 --> 02:02:16,360
fine for this particular.

1033
02:02:18,460 --> 02:02:19,640
looked it up.

1034
02:02:19,640 --> 02:02:20,860
I'm going to have to look it up.

1035
02:02:21,140 --> 02:02:22,680
I don't know.

1036
02:02:24,060 --> 02:02:25,240
It's minimal.

1037
02:02:27,720 --> 02:02:28,460
It's

1038
02:02:28,460 --> 02:02:28,880
$50.

1039
02:02:29,540 --> 02:02:30,720
It's not $500.

1040
02:02:31,980 --> 02:02:32,860
It's it's yeah.

1041
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:34,760
So

1042
02:02:34,760 --> 02:02:37,620
and maybe we have done this before.

1043
02:02:37,620 --> 02:02:46,820
And I've forgotten it or not seen it, but our police department is really fabulous at doing educational videos.

1044
02:02:47,380 --> 02:02:53,020
Is this one that we can ask them to emphasize and they've probably done one before.

1045
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:56,720
I think we have the right person in the room to say we could make that happen.

1046
02:02:57,500 --> 02:02:59,360
Pete, that was a yes.

1047
02:02:59,680 --> 02:03:07,120
Whenever it's appropriate, that might help to these folks that are, I really said it doesn't help

1048
02:03:07,120 --> 02:03:12,680
the people at a town because they're not glued into our social media and what we're doing in town,

1049
02:03:15,500 --> 02:03:22,000
but I'm okay with leaving this alone too. This has been in place longer than 2020 though,

1050
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:25,900
right? Oh yeah, this is just, I'm just giving you an example of the last three years and I was

1051
02:03:25,900 --> 02:03:26,960
and place for a while.

1052
02:03:30,080 --> 02:03:37,840
It would be open to seeing some of this data as we move through in the next

1053
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:46,260
six months, twelve months, whatever, and see if these numbers grow or not. I don't have

1054
02:03:46,260 --> 02:03:54,540
not three or three years, don't give me all that. It is like 50%. They kind of go up and down.

1055
02:03:54,540 --> 02:03:58,020
So maybe that'll change over time too, so.

1056
02:04:00,560 --> 02:04:03,700
But I too am in favor of just meeting it as is.

1057
02:04:03,880 --> 02:04:08,020
If you want to bring back some more information about what the other ones are,

1058
02:04:08,120 --> 02:04:09,820
just that of curiosity would be good.

1059
02:04:10,420 --> 02:04:13,340
One thing that, at least Department has done in the past,

1060
02:04:13,640 --> 02:04:15,800
is they had it don't get noticed campaign.

1061
02:04:16,540 --> 02:04:18,920
When people let the garage doors open and things like that.

1062
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:22,300
So when Chief Andrews brought this forward at the first time,

1063
02:04:22,500 --> 02:04:23,960
there was a couple of months of education.

1064
02:04:23,960 --> 02:04:29,760
And maybe, radically, we can go through that again with a video, maybe instead of a ticket,

1065
02:04:30,120 --> 02:04:33,760
put something to windshield saying, this is something,

1066
02:04:35,820 --> 02:04:37,580
or educational, especially if you

1067
02:04:37,580 --> 02:04:43,340
don't want to go ahead and make sure that our residents tell our visitors, oh, you should

1068
02:04:43,340 --> 02:04:47,820
really shen park that way when I have contractors come over, I tell them so that they don't

1069
02:04:47,820 --> 02:04:48,480
get a ticket.

1070
02:04:49,440 --> 02:04:52,340
So, about the education and trying to help people along.

1071
02:04:52,340 --> 02:04:57,960
Yeah, I agree with the education, I think the other thing you'll see is if we step up that education

1072
02:04:57,960 --> 02:04:59,960
you'll see fewer and fewer people do it.

1073
02:05:00,180 --> 02:05:08,240
And the less that people see others doing it, they'll maybe recognize that, oh, wait a minute, nobody else is parked like this, maybe I'm not supposed to.

1074
02:05:11,670 --> 02:05:23,290
Member Tom Jones, just along those lines, the education you mentioned, the HOA newsletter, this might be one of those topics to reinforce with our HOA, so that they can share it with their neighborhoods.

1075
02:05:24,070 --> 02:05:26,830
Bill is nodding his head in the back, so absolutely.

1076
02:05:31,840 --> 02:05:33,980
Bring us back some more information, which is one of the options.

1077
02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:36,940
Sure, I'll provide you with that.

1078
02:05:36,940 --> 02:05:41,280
Maybe outside of the meeting, she'd process that and we can discuss it if you feel we need to.

1079
02:05:41,380 --> 02:05:42,940
That's probably okay.

1080
02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:44,200
Yeah.

1081
02:05:44,980 --> 02:05:50,840
My thing is, I understand the safety, but if it was mandatory, why didn't I tell them I don't do it.

1082
02:05:54,030 --> 02:05:56,190
Why are only certain towns doing it?

1083
02:05:56,750 --> 02:05:57,070
Understand.

1084
02:05:58,250 --> 02:05:59,710
I like that.

1085
02:06:00,370 --> 02:06:05,370
The general rule is if you are a parking friend of the 500, but that is universal all across.

1086
02:06:05,370 --> 02:06:14,030
So, why is this not mandated? And by time, so that's the confusion is what it is.

1087
02:06:14,290 --> 02:06:16,030
It's like when people come and go.

1088
02:06:16,450 --> 02:06:25,290
Okay, thank you. All right. So, that was our last sort of follow-up item. So, just sort

1089
02:06:25,290 --> 02:06:28,870
of want to remind you of what the highest highlight, what some of the changes are that you're

1090
02:06:28,870 --> 02:06:34,130
being asked to approve tonight. So, we changed alcohol and parks being part of our special

1091
02:06:34,130 --> 02:06:39,950
that process. We have designated, you have designated political activity to be allowed in

1092
02:06:39,950 --> 02:06:45,230
plot organized groups required to reserve a field, not rent, but reserve a field for use

1093
02:06:45,230 --> 02:06:50,790
of open park space. Parades are an part of the special event process, well group demonstrations

1094
02:06:50,790 --> 02:06:56,550
and picket lines are handled by the police department. Spoking, including vaping and other

1095
02:06:56,550 --> 02:07:02,130
tobacco, is restricted in town parks, and also within now 50 feet of an entrance to

1096
02:07:02,130 --> 02:07:07,710
town facility, a commercial vehicle parking has been restricted on main thoroughfares on a case

1097
02:07:07,710 --> 02:07:15,170
by case basis, but commercial vehicle parking has been restricted on all town streets. I'm

1098
02:07:15,170 --> 02:07:19,190
happy to answer any other questions or might be based on any of that.

1099
02:07:21,470 --> 02:07:27,270
The previous slide, one, especially the commercial vehicles, how many of you do the education

1100
02:07:27,270 --> 02:07:35,090
or that, because it might be out of state, you know, like this license is a pocket anywhere

1101
02:07:35,090 --> 02:07:41,890
they come and they do. So the commercial parking on main thoroughfares is pretty straightforward

1102
02:07:41,890 --> 02:07:48,070
because it's all being marked as no parking. So that's sort of a sort of a no-brainer.

1103
02:07:48,450 --> 02:07:54,710
There's, for example, across from the pauses there near food line, you know, that was clearly

1104
02:07:54,710 --> 02:07:57,610
Mark does no parking, that seems to have addressed those issues.

1105
02:07:58,350 --> 02:08:00,650
So that sort of takes care of on the main thoroughfares.

1106
02:08:01,110 --> 02:08:05,610
For the parking on all town streets, there'll be an educational effort by the police department.

1107
02:08:05,810 --> 02:08:07,770
There's several things we're going to be talking about.

1108
02:08:07,850 --> 02:08:11,650
Again, we'll also push that out to HOA's and remind them of that.

1109
02:08:11,750 --> 02:08:16,750
And I think I can safely say, we'll have an education period before we start enforcing that.

1110
02:08:18,350 --> 02:08:21,170
That's good, because we want to be fair and awake.

1111
02:08:21,170 --> 02:08:21,510
Correct.

1112
02:08:22,490 --> 02:08:22,590
Correct.

1113
02:08:22,590 --> 02:08:24,590
Thank you.

1114
02:08:27,370 --> 02:08:30,470
I just had a quick follow-up on the smoking.

1115
02:08:34,520 --> 02:08:35,720
That'd be staff's recommendation.

1116
02:08:40,350 --> 02:08:50,410
I mean, I think that's a reasonable distance to ensure that, you know, you're far enough away that if someone doesn't want to be near you, they can find a way to the door by themselves.

1117
02:08:54,340 --> 02:08:56,400
I have nothing else for you.

1118
02:08:56,680 --> 02:08:57,220
Other questions?

1119
02:08:58,040 --> 02:09:01,020
I'd entertain a motion to adopt this.

1120
02:09:01,380 --> 02:09:05,000
Mayor, if I could, I'm sorry, I didn't interrupt you, but just remember that you also

1121
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:10,780
want to indicate that you're also acknowledging the 50 feet within a door for town grounds.

1122
02:09:10,820 --> 02:09:13,880
As a part of this, it's not listed there at Paul Dough that didn't have that prior.

1123
02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:14,740
All right, exactly.

1124
02:09:15,400 --> 02:09:16,180
So, thank you.

1125
02:09:16,380 --> 02:09:16,520
Thank you.

1126
02:09:17,140 --> 02:09:17,240
Correct.

1127
02:09:18,880 --> 02:09:20,300
Do you like to make that motion?

1128
02:09:21,460 --> 02:09:21,620
Okay.

1129
02:09:21,740 --> 02:09:22,220
Council member Garmel?

1130
02:09:22,700 --> 02:09:23,560
I put it.

1131
02:09:23,600 --> 02:09:24,040
Motion.

1132
02:09:24,040 --> 02:09:34,860
and to adopt RNN-2023-060, the Marshal Town Council, I'm ending the table of contents

1133
02:09:34,860 --> 02:09:52,500
and chapter 1, 2, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38, 46, 50, 54, 56, 68, 66, and 67 of the Marshal

1134
02:09:52,500 --> 02:09:59,980
the ground, code of ordinance, including the smoking 50 feet away from the ground.

1135
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:00,780
On behalf of the Government Office.

1136
02:10:04,410 --> 02:10:07,030
Second, all those in favour please say aye.

1137
02:10:08,030 --> 02:10:08,670
And you pose.

1138
02:10:09,310 --> 02:10:10,190
Second, thank you.

1139
02:10:10,810 --> 02:10:11,510
Thank you.

1140
02:10:13,690 --> 02:10:15,170
Second, thank you.

1141
02:10:15,170 --> 02:10:15,290
Second, thank you.

1142
02:10:16,690 --> 02:10:19,070
Second, thank you.

1143
02:10:19,190 --> 02:10:19,830
Second, thank you.

1144
02:10:19,830 --> 02:10:21,310
Going back

1145
02:10:29,660 --> 02:10:30,220
into order.

1146
02:10:30,620 --> 02:10:33,120
At this time, I'd like to recognize Mark Spanioli, director of engineering.

1147
02:10:33,480 --> 02:10:36,080
You will facilitate our final action item of the evening.

1148
02:10:38,360 --> 02:10:42,760
evening mayor council members for the record marks manually director of engineering.

1149
02:10:43,440 --> 02:10:47,980
Tonight we have an update and brief for the tertiary parks off-mot project.

1150
02:10:48,840 --> 02:10:50,120
Save in the best for last this evening.

1151
02:10:52,550 --> 02:10:53,630
Just a little bit of background.

1152
02:10:54,890 --> 02:11:01,190
In December 2021 the town entered into a development and use agreement with major league cricket folks.

1153
02:11:01,650 --> 02:11:07,510
In preparation for the hosting of cricket sport events at the tertiary parks north lot.

1154
02:11:07,510 --> 02:11:12,050
and then Prumus to the SoftLot, an April of 2022, the Town Passive Resolution,

1155
02:11:12,770 --> 02:11:17,570
authorizing us to enter into an agreement for design build, the delivery of this type of project.

1156
02:11:18,350 --> 02:11:23,110
In July of the same year, we passed a resolution authorizing meter construction to start the phase

1157
02:11:23,110 --> 02:11:28,390
one of the design build, which is the dying phase of the project for not to exceed 200,000.

1158
02:11:28,950 --> 02:11:34,630
And in December of 2022, the Town Passive Resolution authorizing meter construction to continue on with the project

1159
02:11:34,630 --> 02:11:40,110
and commends to a for up to a million dollars to get started with portions of the project,

1160
02:11:40,290 --> 02:11:42,390
which include the parking lot, the practice pitches,

1161
02:11:43,090 --> 02:11:44,310
the fact we're going to associate an infrastructure.

1162
02:11:48,970 --> 02:11:52,830
Here's a current overview of our project, just to go over some of the details,

1163
02:11:53,790 --> 02:11:56,250
to the top part of the pages are existing cricket field,

1164
02:11:56,850 --> 02:11:59,870
and actually you can see some of the proposed improvements on the backside of the field.

1165
02:11:59,970 --> 02:12:01,870
You have some of the new bleachers and so forth,

1166
02:12:03,090 --> 02:12:04,810
but honing in on to the soft lot itself.

1167
02:12:04,810 --> 02:12:12,730
You've got two volleyball courts proposed, sand volleyball, one multi-sport court in between the volleyball and the practice pitches.

1168
02:12:12,930 --> 02:12:21,910
You've got six practice pitches proposed, two basketball courts, a restroom building with a shelter that provides for 18 picnic tables,

1169
02:12:22,890 --> 02:12:30,590
the parking lot, and all the associated sidewalks, walkways, underground utilities, and the Stonewater Control measure on the very left-hand side of the screen.

1170
02:12:33,170 --> 02:12:35,530
So I just wanted to go over a little bit about our phasing.

1171
02:12:35,990 --> 02:12:38,890
When we did come to you in December with our phase 2A,

1172
02:12:39,010 --> 02:12:40,730
this was to get the phase 2A started.

1173
02:12:41,570 --> 02:12:43,170
This was to get some of the work commences,

1174
02:12:43,430 --> 02:12:46,090
so we can try to keep on schedule for our July deadline

1175
02:12:46,090 --> 02:12:47,050
to have all this completed.

1176
02:12:47,810 --> 02:12:50,390
This shows kind of a breakdown of the two,

1177
02:12:50,870 --> 02:12:55,110
but I did want to emphasize that the million dollars at this point

1178
02:12:55,110 --> 02:12:56,830
gets a starter with phase 2A,

1179
02:12:56,890 --> 02:12:58,550
but we would have to allocate some more funds

1180
02:12:58,550 --> 02:13:01,350
to complete the rest of the practice pitches

1181
02:13:01,350 --> 02:13:05,250
parking lot and then the overall project, obviously, would be the phase 2B and everything

1182
02:13:05,250 --> 02:13:07,070
else associated with the program of the project.

1183
02:13:07,470 --> 02:13:10,030
So here you can see the kind of the general breakdown of that.

1184
02:13:13,710 --> 02:13:18,570
So, if I'm project status, phase 2A is on the construction and we started some construction

1185
02:13:18,570 --> 02:13:23,210
surveying and utility locates, you'll start to see some real hard physical construction

1186
02:13:23,210 --> 02:13:29,730
and upcoming days, phase 2B is in the final permitting stages and has been bid by the design

1187
02:13:31,030 --> 02:13:39,590
And again, phase 2 being includes remainder of the work required to complete the parking lot at the practice pitches as well as the all the programming for the park.

1188
02:13:40,310 --> 02:13:45,330
And we have a total project cost based on the complete design now so we're going to go over that momentarily.

1189
02:13:49,190 --> 02:13:57,170
But just a quick refresher. In the end of 2021, we did pass the capital project ordinance for this project.

1190
02:13:57,170 --> 02:14:01,330
It did have allocations for both what I'll call the North Lot,

1191
02:14:01,650 --> 02:14:02,850
what we're doing the remaining expansion,

1192
02:14:03,610 --> 02:14:04,450
because we lost the South Lot.

1193
02:14:04,770 --> 02:14:05,910
And if you break down the South Lot,

1194
02:14:06,030 --> 02:14:09,250
you had approximately 2,000 designated for design,

1195
02:14:09,810 --> 02:14:13,110
and $2 million and $50,000 designated for construction.

1196
02:14:13,190 --> 02:14:16,170
That was the budget that was set back in the 2021.

1197
02:14:20,590 --> 02:14:23,990
So based on our current plans and design build bid results,

1198
02:14:24,650 --> 02:14:29,190
we have a total cost for phase two A at $2 million.

1199
02:14:29,910 --> 02:14:40,030
Our phase 2B is at 2.5 million bringing the total project costs to 4.5 million dollars to provide the entire program for the soft lot.

1200
02:14:40,410 --> 02:14:42,290
And we'll get into some of the details in a minute.

1201
02:14:46,440 --> 02:14:51,040
So just comparing where we were from a budgetary standpoint, back at the end of 2021,

1202
02:14:51,380 --> 02:14:56,960
like I said earlier, we had allocated 2.5 million to 50,000 for the construction phase.

1203
02:14:57,780 --> 02:14:59,960
Our current bid results are coming in at 4.5 million.

1204
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:03,900
And so we're having a budget shortfall of almost 2.5 million dollars.

1205
02:15:06,190 --> 02:15:10,150
It's to go over some of the general project cost breakdown in details.

1206
02:15:10,830 --> 02:15:17,010
And these are sort of order of magnitude. There are a lot more detail breakdown in our

1207
02:15:17,010 --> 02:15:21,090
actual bid results. But just to kind of summarize in a large number, this gives you a general

1208
02:15:21,090 --> 02:15:25,970
feel and thought of how much things cost. The parking lots about 300,000, the practice

1209
02:15:25,970 --> 02:15:28,970
pitches are 600,000 sidewalks at 275.

1210
02:15:30,170 --> 02:15:32,190
The rest of the Michelle Perbuilding is at 725.

1211
02:15:33,090 --> 02:15:37,970
Your electrical and sport court lighting, which is the musco highlights are 450,000.

1212
02:15:38,550 --> 02:15:42,190
You're cycling grading 300,000, your various sports courts,

1213
02:15:42,410 --> 02:15:45,150
site work and walkways are a little over a million.

1214
02:15:46,130 --> 02:15:49,170
Your construction administration overheading profits at 600,000,

1215
02:15:49,310 --> 02:15:51,990
and then your other insurance bonds and contingency ads

1216
02:15:51,990 --> 02:15:54,330
up to about just under 200,000.

1217
02:15:57,530 --> 02:16:03,450
So since my last update in December, we've had some project cost impacts that we wanted to talk about a little bit here.

1218
02:16:04,090 --> 02:16:09,730
The design was still evolving at that time to try to finish up all the programming needs and

1219
02:16:11,510 --> 02:16:13,230
and amenities that were required for the part.

1220
02:16:13,850 --> 02:16:17,210
So the practice pitches were expanded to meet the needs of Major League Cricket.

1221
02:16:17,710 --> 02:16:24,250
We had to continue doing research along the way, and we determined that larger pitches would be required.

1222
02:16:24,870 --> 02:16:29,790
The location of the practice pitches was swapped with the location of the shelter building.

1223
02:16:30,630 --> 02:16:37,410
This allowed for the expansion of practice pitches but also required some additional land grading and work on the ground.

1224
02:16:39,510 --> 02:16:47,530
We extended the restroom building to accommodate additional storage and also accommodate 18 table shelter area, covered shelter area.

1225
02:16:47,810 --> 02:16:49,430
We added some double doors to the courts.

1226
02:16:50,010 --> 02:16:56,810
We added a considerable amount of heavy-duty grass paper from the shelter to the basketball court to support vehicles traveling through the property.

1227
02:16:57,490 --> 02:17:06,130
It was also extended, extensive use of heavy-duty concrete to support vehicles to pass in and out of the property on the concrete walkways.

1228
02:17:06,690 --> 02:17:12,370
And back in December when I did, when I did come to the council, the design bill team had not fully vetted the design.

1229
02:17:12,370 --> 02:17:17,330
And we have, we have nine details, so the estimate was,

1230
02:17:21,940 --> 02:17:24,140
we have had some, some of the same market factor

1231
02:17:24,140 --> 02:17:26,240
cost issues that we had in Fire Station 3.

1232
02:17:26,960 --> 02:17:30,940
As you know, we did do the original budget back in October of 2021,

1233
02:17:31,200 --> 02:17:32,400
so that was some time ago.

1234
02:17:32,900 --> 02:17:35,620
You've had material labor and fuel cost escalations.

1235
02:17:36,480 --> 02:17:38,140
The escalations have continued to increase

1236
02:17:38,140 --> 02:17:40,160
from October of 2021 to now.

1237
02:17:40,640 --> 02:17:43,640
We do have some reports from associated general contractors,

1238
02:17:43,640 --> 02:17:48,700
which is a press release that comes out that validates some of these cost increases nationwide.

1239
02:17:49,880 --> 02:17:53,400
And we did, we did still throughout the design conduct value engineering exercises,

1240
02:17:53,940 --> 02:17:57,420
and we, without compromising the program requirements,

1241
02:17:57,680 --> 02:18:01,020
we were able to value engineer out $250,000 of costs.

1242
02:18:02,260 --> 02:18:04,640
And Genie made sure that I should say this,

1243
02:18:04,840 --> 02:18:07,500
out loud that these project overdoses,

1244
02:18:07,600 --> 02:18:11,760
if they're approved, will impact alignment and resources to our capital improvement project update.

1245
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:18,600
All right. Moving into Project Schedule, we've got to

1246
02:18:18,600 --> 02:18:21,660
anticipate finishing the Phase 2A construction in July, and in

1247
02:18:21,660 --> 02:18:25,640
accordance with our agreement. Phase 2B contract award, if

1248
02:18:25,640 --> 02:18:29,420
everything goes as planned, would be scheduled for April of 2023.

1249
02:18:30,460 --> 02:18:33,640
And we'll be completed with the entire project in the winter of

1250
02:18:33,640 --> 02:18:37,620
this year. We're moving along at a good pace.

1251
02:18:41,500 --> 02:18:47,080
So our recommendation is to proceed with the remainder of the

1252
02:18:47,080 --> 02:18:51,060
By awarding the construction contract and approving the capital project,

1253
02:18:51,200 --> 02:18:52,020
awarding its amendment,

1254
02:18:53,360 --> 02:18:54,300
I submitted in your package.

1255
02:18:56,880 --> 02:18:58,580
Questions you may have?

1256
02:18:59,040 --> 02:19:01,360
Council Member Garamel, please follow by Council Member Body.

1257
02:19:02,680 --> 02:19:04,080
Thanks, Mark, for the presentation.

1258
02:19:04,340 --> 02:19:06,970
Can you go back to slide where there's a change of scope?

1259
02:19:10,920 --> 02:19:12,420
So when I hear a read this,

1260
02:19:12,440 --> 02:19:15,160
like practice, which is where I expanded to meet the needs of

1261
02:19:17,790 --> 02:19:17,850
me.

1262
02:19:18,070 --> 02:19:19,370
I page to a full page, right?

1263
02:19:21,310 --> 02:19:25,570
I'm not that familiar with half and full, but it went from a certain length to a longer length.

1264
02:19:25,810 --> 02:19:31,210
It may have been considered half and full, I'm not that familiar with half and full, like 22 yards and like you know that.

1265
02:19:31,490 --> 02:19:41,230
So was that in the MOU when they started that half or full were they not clear, because there's a dimension creep, you know, that's where I'm coming down to it.

1266
02:19:41,410 --> 02:19:44,410
So I'd have to go back and verify the exact language.

1267
02:19:44,410 --> 02:19:50,890
I know it talks about practice pitches, that would support the major league cricket, but

1268
02:19:50,890 --> 02:19:52,570
whether it's at half or full, I can't remember.

1269
02:19:52,630 --> 02:19:55,750
There's really practice pitches all across the world, I don't even have.

1270
02:19:56,210 --> 02:19:58,570
That's that's pretty much the defector, you know, that they do.

1271
02:19:59,510 --> 02:19:59,970
So, the reason...

1272
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:03,500
And if we go back one slide with the cost,

1273
02:20:07,770 --> 02:20:24,510
what I'm trying to see is what was our commitment to and our commitment to AIS was parking lot and the rest of our, what we as a council wanted as additional things.

1274
02:20:24,510 --> 02:20:29,050
Correct. So I have no issues with the additional things that we

1275
02:20:29,050 --> 02:20:33,430
now wanted, because that is to make it more difficult and further.

1276
02:20:35,230 --> 02:20:41,350
The concern I have is, is put 1.2 per million. It did value engineering.

1277
02:20:42,970 --> 02:20:47,510
It did their budget. They didn't go over and beyond their 1.25.

1278
02:20:48,530 --> 02:20:54,370
So just a minor correction there. When the final bits came in for the many expansion

1279
02:20:54,370 --> 02:21:02,330
project, their contribution ended up being more than 1.25 million. I want to say it was about 1.35,

1280
02:21:02,690 --> 02:21:06,590
but I don't have the exact 100,000. Yeah, I'm just, yeah, it ended up being a little bit more,

1281
02:21:06,730 --> 02:21:10,610
just for a long time. So sort of thing is for us, it's like

1282
02:21:12,820 --> 02:21:14,940
committed to something,

1283
02:21:16,080 --> 02:21:23,520
RV in that budget, I want to like, you know, ensure that we are, I don't want to go higher than what we

1284
02:21:23,520 --> 02:21:30,040
promise them because they are not going either. So the rest of the other things, I'm totally fine

1285
02:21:30,040 --> 02:21:34,960
because those are our amenities for our people and they will enjoy that.

1286
02:21:37,060 --> 02:21:38,400
And how can we basically

1287
02:21:39,740 --> 02:21:48,500
put an indirect I want to say, what is it I'm with you? So that this is what we said and this is

1288
02:21:48,500 --> 02:21:51,620
more, so now we can probably be glad about that.

1289
02:21:52,140 --> 02:21:58,080
Yeah, so the MOU was, my recollection was somewhat generic.

1290
02:21:58,560 --> 02:22:00,840
It's spoke about the practice pitches and the parking lot.

1291
02:22:01,400 --> 02:22:03,220
There was a side plan that was included.

1292
02:22:03,360 --> 02:22:04,180
There was amended.

1293
02:22:04,380 --> 02:22:07,760
And one of the updates that we did a few months ago.

1294
02:22:09,580 --> 02:22:13,140
But we actually, at that time, we actually reduced the number parking

1295
02:22:13,140 --> 02:22:15,060
the original side plan had a certain amount of parking.

1296
02:22:15,060 --> 02:22:18,620
I think it was 90 something we went down to 60.

1297
02:22:19,460 --> 02:22:20,560
It was accepted by ACE.

1298
02:22:20,720 --> 02:22:23,900
On the practice pitch side, it was just a generic drawing

1299
02:22:23,900 --> 02:22:25,020
and a shorter like a rectangle.

1300
02:22:25,100 --> 02:22:26,240
It didn't specify.

1301
02:22:29,040 --> 02:22:30,780
And I hear that.

1302
02:22:32,520 --> 02:22:38,360
So my main concern is they have also gone down in there,

1303
02:22:38,540 --> 02:22:41,200
because the press release had 2000 or something.

1304
02:22:41,440 --> 02:22:42,640
And now they're doing only 1,300.

1305
02:22:44,040 --> 02:22:49,460
So, I think, I don't want to get shortchange as simple as I can say, you know, I want

1306
02:22:49,460 --> 02:22:57,320
fair and equal that what are they doing, because for us, it's overhead costs.

1307
02:22:59,040 --> 02:23:07,480
And I don't see a 20% increase on their side because you're saying it's less than 100,000

1308
02:23:07,480 --> 02:23:10,500
and person compared to hours like 20, 25,

1309
02:23:10,800 --> 02:23:17,660
but as a whole, so we put them to add more on their side,

1310
02:23:17,680 --> 02:23:19,220
because they promised something,

1311
02:23:19,420 --> 02:23:22,800
but they're valiant here and on theirs to give us a little bit.

1312
02:23:23,760 --> 02:23:25,480
I'm sure we can.

1313
02:23:26,040 --> 02:23:29,520
I think the administration would be happy to ask the ace

1314
02:23:29,520 --> 02:23:31,020
to contribute more.

1315
02:23:32,100 --> 02:23:33,860
And we can certainly take that back.

1316
02:23:34,220 --> 02:23:36,160
We're paying, you know,

1317
02:23:36,160 --> 02:23:40,220
for over there in Boston, and then we're locked in for 10 years.

1318
02:23:40,680 --> 02:23:40,700
Good.

1319
02:23:41,340 --> 02:23:41,920
What is that?

1320
02:23:45,990 --> 02:23:47,950
First of all, we're talking to Shonson, followed by Councilman Robotic.

1321
02:23:48,790 --> 02:23:49,320
Thank you.

1322
02:23:52,200 --> 02:23:59,820
This is kind of doubling the price of what our original estimate was last year.

1323
02:24:01,880 --> 02:24:03,980
Not unexpected as all the increases.

1324
02:24:05,480 --> 02:24:06,600
The fact is pitch.

1325
02:24:06,840 --> 02:24:12,560
If that is double what we originally estimated that I agree with Councilman Robotic,

1326
02:24:12,560 --> 02:24:25,180
You know, that is an unanticipated requirement, and it should be renegotiated as far as how that is supported by each of the parties.

1327
02:24:25,240 --> 02:24:31,100
So I think that in and of itself is one example of where the requirements did change.

1328
02:24:37,140 --> 02:24:43,600
Happy to see the timeline included the full scope of the project by the end of this year.

1329
02:24:43,600 --> 02:24:52,320
It's a concern, it's with the doubling of the cost, fighting our own town, residents, the

1330
02:24:52,320 --> 02:24:59,020
amenities that we were careful about, providing to them with the courts and the multi-use.

1331
02:25:00,140 --> 02:25:05,260
Now, as we're building this other support for the cricket,

1332
02:25:11,520 --> 02:25:18,080
why we are reinforcing the courts and some of the areas for

1333
02:25:21,050 --> 02:25:30,110
not just parking perhaps, but is it, are you reinforcing them in the basketball courts or in the walkway so they can have food trucks or?

1334
02:25:30,110 --> 02:25:43,710
It's primarily for maintenance access, not only for public works, but also for the combination of public works having to be able to get to all these areas of the park in vehicles.

1335
02:25:44,330 --> 02:25:53,070
And then there is some of the uses for ACE near the parking lot and the practice pitch is getting vehicles in and out there for special events is a combination.

1336
02:25:53,070 --> 02:25:53,770
is

1337
02:26:00,750 --> 02:26:08,350
this an arch of eligible project or is this general fund or is this a

1338
02:26:20,640 --> 02:26:21,060
better

1339
02:26:21,060 --> 02:26:28,460
the options give it answer you know I think I think she might I know is a CPOA in the

1340
02:26:28,460 --> 02:26:39,620
back but I'm not sure if it's so yeah so primarily the funds are coming from Parkland

1341
02:26:39,620 --> 02:26:47,520
even in the loop, but that will impact other projects that were estimated in your CIP, your

1342
02:26:47,520 --> 02:26:52,240
current existing CIP, primarily the Church Street Country Creek Network.

1343
02:26:52,800 --> 02:26:58,560
So we'll have to re-align that as part of this next update, re-balance those funding sources

1344
02:26:58,560 --> 02:27:05,460
potential, and the other small pieces coming from it is we had some bond premium that was

1345
02:27:05,460 --> 02:27:08,220
was available that we were able to pull.

1346
02:27:08,420 --> 02:27:10,180
But primarily, it's part of the pain in my life.

1347
02:27:10,660 --> 02:27:11,680
Great, thank you very much.

1348
02:27:14,490 --> 02:27:14,990
Body, please.

1349
02:27:15,630 --> 02:27:18,990
So it's not actually clear to me that it was ace

1350
02:27:18,990 --> 02:27:21,570
that told us that we needed to double the size

1351
02:27:21,570 --> 02:27:23,050
of the practice agency.

1352
02:27:23,490 --> 02:27:25,170
How exactly was that determined?

1353
02:27:25,470 --> 02:27:28,610
So just to be clear, it didn't double the size.

1354
02:27:28,830 --> 02:27:31,010
It grew by about 30% of this, sorry.

1355
02:27:31,370 --> 02:27:33,910
I guess an engineer in me, I can't help but to at least get

1356
02:27:33,910 --> 02:27:34,330
the number right.

1357
02:27:34,330 --> 02:27:46,170
But it was a combination of these promoting that because they bring some experience from outside that we don't.

1358
02:27:46,330 --> 02:27:59,570
And then we went and actually confirmed our parks department checked with some of the other places like in Texas and stuff that they're developing these fields to try to get information whether it made sense to put the bigger picture not.

1359
02:27:59,570 --> 02:28:03,190
I don't know enough about the sport I'll be on, so I don't have a lot of those details,

1360
02:28:03,990 --> 02:28:10,310
but I would say Ace was probably in the front seat of making that request and then we kind of

1361
02:28:10,310 --> 02:28:14,490
work together to figure out if it made sense for our project if we're going to

1362
02:28:14,490 --> 02:28:21,550
promote majorly cricket at the space. Okay, and then there were, were there, design costs associated

1363
02:28:22,370 --> 02:28:27,910
with swapping the restroom building and the pitches to accommodate the larger pitches.

1364
02:28:28,870 --> 02:28:39,010
There is a request for a small amount of designing crease costs, but it's for the property in general because we made a lot of adjustments not just that.

1365
02:28:39,550 --> 02:28:51,630
Okay, so speaking of the other adjustments, where did the request for just an 18 table picnic shelter come from? That is a huge picnic gift shelter.

1366
02:28:51,630 --> 02:28:54,730
So that came from the Parks Department as part of their programming.

1367
02:28:55,770 --> 02:29:00,570
It's becoming, I guess, more common place to have shelters with the picnic tables.

1368
02:29:01,350 --> 02:29:03,570
Then we're to the shelter we have at Morrisville Community Park.

1369
02:29:03,670 --> 02:29:05,710
Apparently those are well reserved and well used.

1370
02:29:06,530 --> 02:29:09,910
So there was a request and a desire to have that shelter space.

1371
02:29:10,010 --> 02:29:11,970
I don't know, you know, I'm not into the park side of it.

1372
02:29:12,010 --> 02:29:14,630
So I'm all the details of that, but that there was a request from the parks for that.

1373
02:29:14,750 --> 02:29:18,850
So what was the difference in cost between the original planned

1374
02:29:19,690 --> 02:29:25,390
restrooms and shelter and the current 18, 18 picked a table shelter.

1375
02:29:25,870 --> 02:29:30,450
If my memory doesn't fail me, the original cost estimate for the building was half as much.

1376
02:29:36,650 --> 02:29:42,630
I 100% agree with Council Member Garamela that any changes that were instituted by ace

1377
02:29:42,630 --> 02:29:47,730
that were not part of the original design. I think they should pay for.

1378
02:29:50,900 --> 02:29:51,880
I'm not sure what to say

1379
02:29:51,880 --> 02:29:59,980
this thing has doubled in cost. I understand market conditions, but I don't, we literally

1380
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:04,400
Early can not afford to do one thing that's not in that contract.

1381
02:30:04,700 --> 02:30:05,600
I mean,

1382
02:30:08,240 --> 02:30:10,540
I think this is pretty appalling, actually.

1383
02:30:12,020 --> 02:30:19,260
And there's nothing else on this list. Okay, so the picture table came from Parks and Rec.

1384
02:30:20,040 --> 02:30:31,220
I get that. I mean, there's nothing else really on this list that we can, that we can conceivably do without, is that correct?

1385
02:30:31,220 --> 02:30:38,660
And if you want to maintain the programming as displayed in the site plan, you could not.

1386
02:30:39,940 --> 02:30:44,740
At this point, we've, you know, part of the value engineering we did was we looked at every

1387
02:30:44,740 --> 02:30:49,820
detail we could and it's harder with courts, like if you have a building you can change finishes

1388
02:30:49,820 --> 02:30:54,280
and try to cut costs there, but with like sport courts, there's not a lot of cutting.

1389
02:30:54,640 --> 02:30:56,620
It's, you know, it's a coffee slimy, but you're surfacing on it.

1390
02:30:56,680 --> 02:31:00,660
There isn't a lot of like options for it to be to work.

1391
02:31:00,660 --> 02:31:08,220
So we went in and tried to make adjustments everywhere we could to reduce costs here at this

1392
02:31:08,220 --> 02:31:08,560
property.

1393
02:31:09,480 --> 02:31:12,060
And you said, I'm sorry, the cost breakdown.

1394
02:31:12,340 --> 02:31:20,500
Is there a breakdown or the courts broken out in these in the, I don't have it with me on

1395
02:31:20,500 --> 02:31:21,060
the slides.

1396
02:31:21,580 --> 02:31:27,320
But we do have the, this is like a very, a bridge version of a very, like, no, I'm sure.

1397
02:31:27,680 --> 02:31:30,080
I just, I mean, I hate to even float this balloon.

1398
02:31:30,080 --> 02:31:36,640
but I feel like we're there like it's a shame because what the people that actually live here

1399
02:31:36,640 --> 02:31:43,600
are getting out of this is the courts and those amenities, but I mean, you know, should we

1400
02:31:43,600 --> 02:31:51,940
look at maybe not doing the sport court? I mean, does that get us any kind of return? I mean,

1401
02:31:52,720 --> 02:31:55,400
I don't love any other, but I'm, I mean,

1402
02:31:58,940 --> 02:32:01,840
okay, all right, I guess that's everything. It doesn't

1403
02:32:01,840 --> 02:32:05,500
look like there's anything to do about it. Thank you.

1404
02:32:08,210 --> 02:32:10,770
I'll go follow by Councilman Rao.

1405
02:32:11,770 --> 02:32:15,550
I guess on this slide, a separate question, where it says pitches?

1406
02:32:16,650 --> 02:32:19,130
Yes. What is that large length space?

1407
02:32:20,190 --> 02:32:21,110
Right, of the pitches?

1408
02:32:21,670 --> 02:32:22,490
Where it says pitches?

1409
02:32:22,570 --> 02:32:24,590
Oh, the actual word, it's green area.

1410
02:32:24,950 --> 02:32:26,150
That's a nice green space.

1411
02:32:28,570 --> 02:32:32,050
And the picnic tables, how does that compare to the Marsville community

1412
02:32:32,050 --> 02:32:33,790
in the park shelter, do we have 18?

1413
02:32:35,370 --> 02:32:38,210
Unforable size, it might be bigger.

1414
02:32:38,610 --> 02:32:39,790
I don't know how many there are.

1415
02:32:39,850 --> 02:32:40,670
There are a lot of tables there.

1416
02:32:40,730 --> 02:32:43,310
Could we, if anybody know how many tables are there?

1417
02:32:43,450 --> 02:32:43,970
I mean,

1418
02:32:47,380 --> 02:32:48,080
about the same.

1419
02:32:48,180 --> 02:32:50,860
It might be about the same, 99, really nice.

1420
02:32:50,940 --> 02:32:52,760
There's a lot of tables there, yeah.

1421
02:32:52,860 --> 02:32:54,820
So just to refresh a little bit,

1422
02:32:55,140 --> 02:32:57,060
I thought one of the attractions of design build

1423
02:32:57,060 --> 02:32:58,840
was you lock in a price,

1424
02:33:00,950 --> 02:33:03,470
21, lock something in,

1425
02:33:03,670 --> 02:33:06,150
but then we changed it, and things changed.

1426
02:33:07,710 --> 02:33:10,850
So the lock-in happens when the design is completed.

1427
02:33:12,230 --> 02:33:19,070
So once the design is completed, then because it's at the point where we entered into the original agreement with them,

1428
02:33:19,130 --> 02:33:20,990
all we had was a budget estimate that we developed.

1429
02:33:21,690 --> 02:33:25,870
So you can't lock in the general guaranteed maximum price until you've got the design.

1430
02:33:26,410 --> 02:33:31,950
So what that means for us is if we lock in this price, there won't be change orders along the way.

1431
02:33:31,950 --> 02:33:36,390
on a conventional project, you get your base fit and then you can still have various

1432
02:33:36,390 --> 02:33:38,770
changes where it has happened throughout the process of construction.

1433
02:33:39,330 --> 02:33:43,910
But once you lock in this price, this is what they've got to build the project with this

1434
02:33:43,910 --> 02:33:46,630
programming even if it costs some twice as much.

1435
02:33:47,490 --> 02:33:52,750
Are we in the position that we can only lock to a hour, can we lock to a and to b?

1436
02:33:53,570 --> 02:33:58,510
We're in a position with the information we have from contractor to lock in both when we're ready.

1437
02:33:58,570 --> 02:34:00,390
We're ready to do that.

1438
02:34:01,050 --> 02:34:07,350
important thing to think about. One on the pricing slide said sport court lighting

1439
02:34:09,420 --> 02:34:14,920
all the courts, including the sand volleyball, are going to be lit. Yes. All the courts.

1440
02:34:15,420 --> 02:34:19,880
That's be really clear about that. This is for all the courts. Yes. Only the sport court.

1441
02:34:20,080 --> 02:34:25,870
Yeah, I mean the all the courts and that's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point.

1442
02:34:27,290 --> 02:34:29,030
Are the pitches lit, sir?

1443
02:34:30,470 --> 02:34:30,770
Yes.

1444
02:34:32,250 --> 02:34:37,810
And the cost, what do you think is pitch cost, lighting in?

1445
02:34:38,150 --> 02:34:38,290
Yes.

1446
02:34:39,730 --> 02:34:44,350
The pitches have their own lighting, netting, fencing.

1447
02:34:56,680 --> 02:34:57,640
Those were my questions.

1448
02:34:58,040 --> 02:34:58,840
Thank you very much.

1449
02:35:02,700 --> 02:35:12,200
Just with the, um, I just want to clarify that by the end of the project, the two basketball courts will be completed, right? Yes.

1450
02:35:12,700 --> 02:35:14,840
Two basketball courts. Okay. All right.

1451
02:35:14,960 --> 02:35:17,000
What you see in this slide here.

1452
02:35:17,740 --> 02:35:23,860
I'm going to ask about two basketball courts, two sand volleyball, one multi-sport court, the restroom shelter building,

1453
02:35:24,020 --> 02:35:29,040
practice pitches, parking lot and associated infrastructure utilities and

1454
02:35:29,040 --> 02:35:36,460
Okay, and then we renovated our shadow basketball court. So we'll have three that's gonna be that's that's right that prodigy's actually out to bid now

1455
02:35:36,460 --> 02:35:38,280
Okay, great

1456
02:35:38,280 --> 02:35:40,620
And the multi-sport could be

1457
02:35:40,620 --> 02:35:45,890
Those were you could just do different sports on there, right? That's right. It'll have markings for various sports including I think we're

1458
02:35:47,040 --> 02:35:49,050
Yes, I think basketball is included as a third

1459
02:35:50,480 --> 02:35:54,160
Okay, thank you

1460
02:35:55,500 --> 02:35:56,640
Don't say followed by a councilman

1461
02:35:57,920 --> 02:36:01,520
So I I'm I'm the NAACO council member of bodies

1462
02:36:02,200 --> 02:36:08,440
comments, I'm, yeah, this is a lot of money, but not, as council member described in

1463
02:36:08,440 --> 02:36:13,440
Johnson said, not I'm not surprising, because costs are going up. Everything is going up.

1464
02:36:14,580 --> 02:36:19,220
And I, I look at this too and try to figure out, okay, what could we maybe season or take

1465
02:36:19,220 --> 02:36:25,540
out? And the only thing that I would question is the sand volleyball, but that probably is

1466
02:36:27,960 --> 02:36:39,040
It doesn't make sense to take that out because the other, all the other amenities are needed and I'm also going to echo the comments from

1467
02:36:39,040 --> 02:36:47,200
Councilman Garamela about if there were changes you requested by ACE and they need to help cover these costs, what the total costs.

1468
02:36:47,840 --> 02:36:49,540
So I'm fine with that.

1469
02:36:49,540 --> 02:36:52,680
We think you all go back and push it back on that.

1470
02:36:54,280 --> 02:36:54,320
Yeah.

1471
02:36:54,780 --> 02:37:02,480
And then I guess the only other question I have then is maybe for Jeannie, but the money

1472
02:37:02,480 --> 02:37:03,740
comes from PIL.

1473
02:37:04,560 --> 02:37:10,540
Where does this leave our PIL fund and then what is our projection?

1474
02:37:10,740 --> 02:37:14,220
Because we know there are some projects and I know this is just a projection.

1475
02:37:14,500 --> 02:37:17,700
I know there are some projects coming in the near future.

1476
02:37:17,700 --> 02:37:23,040
What is the projection for some of that being replenished as well?

1477
02:37:23,720 --> 02:37:25,240
So we've looked at that.

1478
02:37:26,540 --> 02:37:29,760
So we have about five million for Parkland Payment Allure.

1479
02:37:30,020 --> 02:37:32,500
So this will drop it down to about half.

1480
02:37:32,900 --> 02:37:36,820
You needed more than four million for Crab Tree Creek Nature Park.

1481
02:37:36,820 --> 02:37:39,920
I think it's a closer to the fiveish.

1482
02:37:40,520 --> 02:37:43,040
That's the next project that we had.

1483
02:37:43,040 --> 02:37:50,860
We swapped the allocation of bond money to move to town green with the Parkland payment

1484
02:37:50,860 --> 02:37:55,560
in lieu, funding the Criptry Creek Nature Park in the future in the near future.

1485
02:37:55,880 --> 02:38:00,560
So we'll have to resolve that problem and that'll be a part of our update with the CIP.

1486
02:38:01,800 --> 02:38:06,620
So with that said, looking ahead at what's in the future, we can only speculate based on

1487
02:38:06,620 --> 02:38:14,300
project conversations out there that we have about potentially in 24-9-100 is what we're

1488
02:38:14,300 --> 02:38:20,440
estimating possibly to come in. There are some projects that we're working to finish their

1489
02:38:20,440 --> 02:38:25,140
active projects right now that we're trying to close out. There might be funds that we could also

1490
02:38:25,140 --> 02:38:30,740
send back to PIL to replenish that it's not going to be all of it, but at least puts us in the right

1491
02:38:30,740 --> 02:38:36,600
direction. So that's our strategy. That's what we have to work with right now as we

1492
02:38:36,600 --> 02:38:44,340
work with updating the CIP. And it's not a ARPA eligible project for the way in which we

1493
02:38:44,340 --> 02:38:48,760
bid this project for church street. So that's why we didn't use ARPA.

1494
02:38:52,720 --> 02:39:00,480
Yeah, this idea of locking in is, I think, important. I don't, I don't anticipate anything coming

1495
02:39:00,480 --> 02:39:06,360
down in price. It just seems like everything is continuing to escalate phenomena.

1496
02:39:10,430 --> 02:39:10,990
So those

1497
02:39:10,990 --> 02:39:14,030
Well, my question is for now.

1498
02:39:28,130 --> 02:39:31,150
Can you talk a little bit more about that?

1499
02:39:32,670 --> 02:39:34,790
That wasn't included, originally.

1500
02:39:37,090 --> 02:39:38,190
That's a good question.

1501
02:39:38,350 --> 02:39:43,370
I think when we did our initial estimate back at the end of 2012,

1502
02:39:43,370 --> 02:39:49,330
21 is a very preliminary side plan, so we're just laying out spaces.

1503
02:39:50,730 --> 02:39:55,150
I don't think we would have been dissipated that necessarily, you know, maybe, I don't

1504
02:39:55,150 --> 02:39:58,070
want to say it's oversight on our part, but when you're looking at it from just a preliminary

1505
02:39:58,070 --> 02:39:59,970
side plan, you see it as five foot wide concrete.

1506
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:11,880
And you're not always thinking at a preliminary level of what kind of concrete looking and what kind of operating function the property will have. So that may have been overlooked at that time.

1507
02:40:12,980 --> 02:40:25,580
And then at this point, it's been a collaboration of our parks, public works and the ace folks to accommodate the various uses and operations and how we would need those spaces to function.

1508
02:40:26,180 --> 02:40:29,840
So, we had to add some of that heavy-duty concrete and grass-pave and stuff like that.

1509
02:40:34,840 --> 02:40:35,240
So,

1510
02:40:41,420 --> 02:40:44,400
without cutting programming, I don't think so.

1511
02:40:44,720 --> 02:40:49,000
I mean, we've spent a lot of time with this.

1512
02:40:49,040 --> 02:40:52,480
You know, like I mentioned earlier, you know, our parking lies, you know, as asphalt.

1513
02:40:53,760 --> 02:40:57,600
Everything we're using for stone water infrastructure, we're using

1514
02:40:58,300 --> 02:41:01,300
ASTP pipe is at a concrete on some of the underground stuff.

1515
02:41:01,600 --> 02:41:04,260
Cords are concrete and asphalt.

1516
02:41:04,380 --> 02:41:08,280
I mean, it really isn't a lot of like, it's not marble and granite and porcelain tile.

1517
02:41:08,440 --> 02:41:13,900
I mean, it's just, you don't have those flexibility when you're doing basic sport courts and that thing.

1518
02:41:14,860 --> 02:41:20,340
You know, maybe the, like some of you mentioned maybe the shelter building could have been smaller, that kind of thing.

1519
02:41:21,100 --> 02:41:27,000
But my question was more specific just to the heavy duty concrete.

1520
02:41:27,540 --> 02:41:27,940
Oh,

1521
02:41:30,620 --> 02:41:36,560
we actually did make some changes, actually since you mentioned that the center, the central,

1522
02:41:36,660 --> 02:41:40,300
I'll call it the central walkway that kind of goes from the parking lot all the way to the

1523
02:41:40,300 --> 02:41:44,800
volleyball and it has the ends in the circle. That used to be heavy duty concrete, we saw

1524
02:41:44,800 --> 02:41:50,720
it out to asphalt. So we did make some of those adjustments along the way, because the asphalt,

1525
02:41:50,720 --> 02:41:56,220
heavy duty asphalt could support the truckloads and it was cheaper in the concrete. So we made some

1526
02:41:56,220 --> 02:42:04,180
adjustments as well as between the practice pitches and the grandstands that used to all be

1527
02:42:04,180 --> 02:42:09,960
heavy duty concrete and we modified a lot of that to just be walkways and actually it's not

1528
02:42:09,960 --> 02:42:13,920
pictured here very well but a large portion of that is just grass. It's open area.

1529
02:42:13,920 --> 02:42:23,580
Oh, yes, my other thought would be me if there was anything we could do.

1530
02:42:24,540 --> 02:42:29,120
I would choose the multi-sport court

1531
02:42:31,750 --> 02:42:32,890
as an option.

1532
02:42:33,290 --> 02:42:40,770
I would like to see us still include basketball court, volleyball court, because there's

1533
02:42:40,770 --> 02:42:49,630
I'm to remember, Garamela, saying that that's the extra amenities for residents, that

1534
02:42:49,630 --> 02:42:57,990
more people can use, that would still be at the benefit of having volleyball and basketball

1535
02:42:57,990 --> 02:42:59,390
out of the amenities.

1536
02:43:09,600 --> 02:43:13,080
I've had an opportunity to ask questions in the comments that we're going to do a second

1537
02:43:13,080 --> 02:43:15,720
round for anyone who wishes Council Member Garamela.

1538
02:43:17,030 --> 02:43:27,220
I think, for my recollection, the heavy-duty concrete is because you've seen last time

1539
02:43:27,220 --> 02:43:28,020
when a

1540
02:43:34,480 --> 02:43:39,120
that could be one of the things like because if you put a regular, you know,

1541
02:43:42,880 --> 02:43:42,900
that

1542
02:43:42,900 --> 02:43:49,040
could be one of the reasons, but my main question is, okay, we see the cost, obviously the

1543
02:43:49,040 --> 02:43:56,540
go back to is, but how do we program these M&ET? Or is it like in other practice, which is

1544
02:43:56,540 --> 02:44:04,480
going to be free public or are we going to charge? Because these are heavy hefty fees that

1545
02:44:04,480 --> 02:44:06,280
we are paying to do it.

1546
02:44:08,400 --> 02:44:12,600
How do you program this into our parks and wrecks reservation type?

1547
02:44:12,800 --> 02:44:19,240
You know, that is my main question. And how do we monetize? I mean, I say monetize at least

1548
02:44:19,240 --> 02:44:24,880
not to the level like, you know, to recruit the cost, but at least, how do we put a sanity to it?

1549
02:44:24,880 --> 02:44:29,880
It's not like first complex, so everyone will be doing, you know, basketball, like,

1550
02:44:30,640 --> 02:44:32,200
you know, who are we are clocking on?

1551
02:44:34,720 --> 02:44:38,180
I'll even put the sanity around there, and I'll also have, I don't know, programming,

1552
02:44:38,900 --> 02:44:43,380
whether they do online, you know, booking, like we talked about for other things.

1553
02:44:44,860 --> 02:44:46,620
I'll take that back to the parks department.

1554
02:44:46,860 --> 02:44:49,060
I'm not that clear on the function of that.

1555
02:44:49,060 --> 02:44:53,120
I don't know if anybody else is, but that certainly, to me, is an option.

1556
02:44:53,120 --> 02:44:58,440
certainly for the practice pitches, they are, if they get built this way, I want to see their

1557
02:44:58,440 --> 02:44:59,960
state of the art, we are putting...

1558
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:10,900
They look great in some of our renderings, you know, some of our artificial terms. I mean, there's a lot going on with those, so I could see that that could potentially be an option, but I'd want to speak for the Parks Department.

1559
02:45:18,560 --> 02:45:25,580
So I think you recognize that our practice and up to this point has not been to charge for that type of amenity.

1560
02:45:25,580 --> 02:45:31,400
You know, we have done some work, I think, to keep saying, we, I've not done our staff has done some work.

1561
02:45:32,100 --> 02:45:43,440
You know, particularly relevant would be the batting cages at Shilow, you know, at one point we're having some pushback about them being sort of reserved all the time by TCL.

1562
02:45:43,720 --> 02:45:46,700
And this is just an example. This is not to be critical of TCL.

1563
02:45:47,580 --> 02:45:52,060
But staff was able to work with them sort of clarify what the expectations were,

1564
02:45:52,060 --> 02:45:55,940
clarify that it was not sort of a reserved use, but it was a shared use.

1565
02:45:56,320 --> 02:46:00,960
So I think we have the same opportunity to do that, particularly as we open a new facility.

1566
02:46:02,340 --> 02:46:06,780
Now again, these practice pitches may be a little bit different, because they will have to be reserved

1567
02:46:08,160 --> 02:46:11,940
when ACE is here with particularly major and minor league cricket.

1568
02:46:12,760 --> 02:46:17,460
That's again part of the attraction of bringing those teams is having a place to practice,

1569
02:46:17,460 --> 02:46:21,660
you know, particularly if they're in like a multi-team tournament or the playoffs or things like that.

1570
02:46:21,660 --> 02:46:30,700
So I think we are best to start addressing it in that way, rather than necessarily trying to get a fee out of it.

1571
02:46:30,900 --> 02:46:34,260
And again, we can always circle back on that later if it's an issue.

1572
02:46:37,040 --> 02:46:38,060
because

1573
02:46:40,300 --> 02:46:43,440
it's to be like practices where

1574
02:46:47,820 --> 02:46:50,520
they are charging revenue.

1575
02:46:51,160 --> 02:46:56,080
I don't want our grounds to be a freebie basically.

1576
02:46:57,140 --> 02:47:02,820
You're coming in a 600,000 practice pitch and their own coach.

1577
02:47:03,760 --> 02:47:05,980
So what is it for the town? Because maybe.

1578
02:47:10,490 --> 02:47:12,110
And it's obviously it's not a blanket.

1579
02:47:12,410 --> 02:47:12,550
It's easy.

1580
02:47:21,830 --> 02:47:23,030
I'll just...

1581
02:47:23,030 --> 02:47:28,070
I feel like they said, you know, from shallow, like, you know,

1582
02:47:28,070 --> 02:47:30,570
Those are all issues who come very quickly here

1583
02:47:30,570 --> 02:47:32,230
and the same thing with the volleyball court.

1584
02:47:32,270 --> 02:47:34,270
So I can see, you know, on average,

1585
02:47:35,470 --> 02:47:38,810
the way I should play a lot of volleyball,

1586
02:47:39,930 --> 02:47:41,430
we know that.

1587
02:47:41,430 --> 02:47:43,370
I have to reserve them, you know?

1588
02:47:43,430 --> 02:47:45,190
It is not reserve, yeah, it's a free play.

1589
02:47:45,450 --> 02:47:48,530
I have to reserve and we pay money for that.

1590
02:47:49,630 --> 02:47:50,210
Yes, sir.

1591
02:47:50,890 --> 02:47:52,190
Something has to be done.

1592
02:47:52,810 --> 02:47:52,810
Otherwise,

1593
02:47:55,430 --> 02:47:56,330
I agree, like, you know,

1594
02:47:56,330 --> 02:47:57,830
where are we having, you know,

1595
02:48:14,560 --> 02:48:22,220
I would say the shelter is an opportunity for revenue. That would be consistent with the way we do with the other.

1596
02:48:22,380 --> 02:48:24,200
So that is certainly a revenue opportunity.

1597
02:48:24,200 --> 02:48:29,800
you know I think the practice pitches are unique and we'll deal with those to make sure

1598
02:48:29,800 --> 02:48:36,300
that that remains a shared use and then addressing any of the others would be you know

1599
02:48:36,300 --> 02:48:39,860
more of a change in philosophy that we just need to look at and consider.

1600
02:48:41,320 --> 02:48:47,790
Absolutely because there's a lot of correct me if I'm wrong and Steve you play tennis like

1601
02:48:47,790 --> 02:48:50,530
There is, you will,

1602
02:48:55,980 --> 02:49:01,620
so there's a consistency right there, you know, a big of your parks, you know,

1603
02:49:01,780 --> 02:49:02,240
the textbook.

1604
02:49:03,700 --> 02:49:06,760
So, we need to have some kind of consistency here, otherwise.

1605
02:49:07,480 --> 02:49:10,180
There are a lot of issues.

1606
02:49:10,820 --> 02:49:11,800
We know our more complex.

1607
02:49:11,980 --> 02:49:16,740
We need to, you know, people come and enjoy, and everyone gets some people,

1608
02:49:16,940 --> 02:49:20,360
chance and not like a party that is using 24.

1609
02:49:21,520 --> 02:49:23,360
staff shares your goals.

1610
02:49:27,440 --> 02:49:30,920
So this is an item which is evolving and as it goes

1611
02:49:30,920 --> 02:49:32,780
operational make

1612
02:49:35,780 --> 02:49:39,320
things happen. Remember time Johnson? So Mark we just talked about

1613
02:49:39,320 --> 02:49:43,900
a couple of things we want to give more information on what what what kind of time

1614
02:49:43,900 --> 02:49:48,180
frame are we looking at for a decision on this? How critical is this to make a

1615
02:49:48,180 --> 02:49:54,620
decision to weeks? Go ahead Brian Argo would bring it back for action at the next

1616
02:49:55,820 --> 02:49:59,480
We will work very hard to get all these answers.

1617
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:15,320
So that we can come back with answers. That's part of the second. The action, I guess. I think we can do that. We talked to Ace, they leave almost because we're trying to move this along quickly. So getting to them and getting that information together can be done relatively quickly.

1618
02:50:18,980 --> 02:50:23,300
Don't see any other questions, but yeah, to close us out. The expectation is that we'll be voting on this on the 28.

1619
02:50:24,640 --> 02:50:25,780
Thanks for all the work that you've been doing.

1620
02:50:25,780 --> 02:50:26,880
Thank you. Appreciate it.

1621
02:50:30,140 --> 02:50:35,020
Okay, at this time we are at item 12 future meetings events and citizen involvement opportunities.

1622
02:50:35,920 --> 02:50:41,520
You've heard me say it before, but the Western-Wake Farmers Market offers healthy and fresh food and goods from small and local businesses.

1623
02:50:42,500 --> 02:50:46,180
They're still operating under the winter hours from 9.30 a.m. to 12.00 every Saturday.

1624
02:50:47,220 --> 02:50:49,380
Lots of good events if you're 55 plus.

1625
02:50:49,580 --> 02:50:51,580
These visit the Morrisville Senior Center.

1626
02:50:51,800 --> 02:50:56,500
They would strive for a state luncheon this Friday, March 17 from 1 till 3 p.m.

1633
02:51:25,740 --> 02:51:27,980

Join us on Saturday and March 18th from noon until 3 p.m.

02:51:48,100 --> 02:51:50,520
at Cedarfore Community Center, as we celebrate holy.

1642
02:51:51,240 --> 02:51:53,460
The ancient Hindu festival, Marking the End of Winter,

1643
02:51:53,640 --> 02:51:55,000
and welcoming the spring season.

1644
02:51:55,000 --> 02:51:59,860
The festival is free and we'll feature dancing, holy powders, and food for purchase.

1645
02:52:00,440 --> 02:52:07,360
The town will provide holy powder to attendees to get the event started, but attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their own holy powder to keep the fun going.

1646
02:52:07,940 --> 02:52:13,700
Please note that this will be a dry, holy celebration, so participants are asked to leave their water toys at home.

1647
02:52:14,020 --> 02:52:21,100
Limited parking will be available at Cedar Fort Community Center, shuttle transportation will run two in from Iron Mountain and Church Street Park.

1648
02:52:21,100 --> 02:52:26,080
Town of Morrisville, once again, will celebrate N.C. Clean Water Education Partnership,

1649
02:52:26,260 --> 02:52:30,600
Co-App Regional Greek Week Program, or a lot about that from Tony Victor earlier.

1650
02:52:31,300 --> 02:52:35,660
It's from March 18th through the 25th with the fund informative activities to educate our community

1651
02:52:35,660 --> 02:52:40,700
about reducing stormwater pollution and the importance of keeping our waterways clear and clean.

1652
02:52:41,100 --> 02:52:45,560
The theme for 2023 is Water Connects Us, please check the website for more information.

1653
02:52:46,040 --> 02:52:48,480
The complete schedule of events as they are confirmed.

1654
02:52:48,480 --> 02:52:56,700
Just as a note, our town, our municipality is one of the ones with the most opportunities and most events in the region.

1655
02:52:57,380 --> 02:53:01,160
So it's really impressive to work that our stormwater staff has done to make that happen.

1656
02:53:01,980 --> 02:53:09,160
Save the date to join the town of Morrisville for our annual easter egg hunt on Thursday, April 6th at Morrisville Community Park, starting at 545.

1657
02:53:10,080 --> 02:53:14,100
And new this year, there's a piece in the park, scavenger hunt, will be offered.

1658
02:53:14,100 --> 02:53:19,460
find all the peeps hidden in the area and win a prize from the Parks Recreation and Cultural Resources Department.

1659
02:53:20,000 --> 02:53:25,300
Roosters Ice Cream, Truck will also be in attendance for you to purchase a sweet treat to help celebrate spring.

1660
02:53:25,900 --> 02:53:28,840
Please see our event page for more details as they become available.

1661
02:53:29,920 --> 02:53:33,000
We always have lots of other things going on on the calendar on lines.

1662
02:53:33,100 --> 02:53:38,440
So please check us out there and our social media is pretty robust as well.

1663
02:53:38,440 --> 02:53:41,900
at this time we're going to have council comments. I'd like to recognize council member

1664
02:53:41,900 --> 02:53:44,060
Rabadi. I'll buy council member Fender please.

1665
02:53:44,580 --> 02:53:46,340
No comments, Mayor. Thank you.

1666
02:53:46,520 --> 02:53:48,340
Council member Fender, I'll buy council member Rao.

1667
02:53:48,780 --> 02:53:49,960
I don't have any comments.

1668
02:53:50,540 --> 02:53:52,400
Okay, council member Rao, I'll buy Mayor Patent Johnson.

1669
02:53:53,060 --> 02:53:54,020
I just got a few comments.

1670
02:53:54,620 --> 02:53:57,380
First of all, I want to wish everyone a happy women's history month again in Holy.

1671
02:53:58,580 --> 02:54:01,100
A quick thing, I want to bring out your council.

1672
02:54:01,880 --> 02:54:05,400
There's been recently, I've been getting more complaints about spending a most

1673
02:54:05,400 --> 02:54:11,000
for Carpenter Road, and I know we've been tracking our legislative agenda, but there

1674
02:54:11,000 --> 02:54:18,180
is a bill on the floor that passed the House, called HP388, it's going to add Durham to

1675
02:54:18,180 --> 02:54:22,980
have on speed cameras for school zones, and it's going to allow other local governments to add

1676
02:54:22,980 --> 02:54:23,720
on to that.

1677
02:54:24,120 --> 02:54:28,560
So that's something I would ask our least part of when it's staff to explore, possibly,

1678
02:54:29,000 --> 02:54:33,300
I'm not sure where they stand on it, but I think it's a great way to address through automation

1679
02:54:34,020 --> 02:54:38,000
speeding, giving staffing left. There's something for us to think about as we deliberate

1680
02:54:38,000 --> 02:54:45,360
on the budget. Secondly, I've got, there's a small business town hall on hosting with

1681
02:54:45,360 --> 02:54:50,800
Alan Thomas, the director of SPA congressman Ross Fouche and Secretary of State

1682
02:54:50,800 --> 02:54:55,740
Lane Marshall, the event is sold out, but you can get it on Zoom. I'm going to be posting

1683
02:54:55,740 --> 02:54:59,820
that. It's going to be a great opportunity to talk about access to capital.

1684
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:08,520
If you're a minor audience business, if you're a veteran business, if you're a small business, if you're listening, we'd love to have you join our line, which we'll join the wait list.

1685
02:55:09,020 --> 02:55:18,000
But I think Secretary Reaver, the Secretary North County technology for accepting our invitation to attend the Swan City Advisory Committee meeting on the 23rd.

1686
02:55:19,100 --> 02:55:21,840
And I want to thank the Morrisville Chamber for a great event.

1687
02:55:21,920 --> 02:55:26,900
The final thing is I'm wearing my wet tech metal, which I got, that there wouldn't be a tech event.

1688
02:55:26,900 --> 02:55:29,900
And I just thought it was a good idea that the mayor was there.

1689
02:55:30,660 --> 02:55:35,020
The theme of what you're trying to work in a way that can really be big about points that we are.

1690
02:55:35,300 --> 02:55:37,780
You can do all this great stuff with a way that for those schools.

1691
02:55:38,700 --> 02:55:44,560
And the kinds of opportunities, the community colleges getting, for those that just can't go to the conventional education plan.

1692
02:55:45,260 --> 02:55:50,900
So, I think, and congratulate Scott Roth, President Rawls, and Foundation for a great event.

1693
02:55:51,860 --> 02:55:52,500
Well, like that.

1694
02:55:53,320 --> 02:55:55,620
Mayor Patem Johnson, followed by Council Member Garamlet, please.

1695
02:55:55,620 --> 02:56:02,560
So, I just have one comment. I just want to kind of recognize honor. We lost a long time

1696
02:56:02,560 --> 02:56:09,760
resident last Friday, Peggy Louder passed away. And this morning at Good Hope Baptist Church.

1697
02:56:10,720 --> 02:56:16,700
And she and her husband Grover were married for 67 years. And shortly after they got married,

1698
02:56:17,520 --> 02:56:25,240
they moved into, they built the house on Davis Drive. And though many of us probably, many of you

1699
02:56:25,240 --> 02:56:34,400
never met Peggy or Grover, I had the pleasure knowing Peggy well. She has that, they have the house on

1700
02:56:34,400 --> 02:56:41,280
Davis Drive right next to CVS where she decorates for every holiday. So, like a lot of people around

1701
02:56:41,280 --> 02:56:52,100
here probably never met Peggy, but we're influenced by her, we're really, so her work and she made

1702
02:56:52,100 --> 02:56:58,880
a lot of people really happy, so I just wanted to acknowledge that, like I said, she passed away

1703
02:56:58,880 --> 02:57:07,820
last Friday and, you know, I was on council when the looters came and asked us to subdivide

1704
02:57:07,820 --> 02:57:18,600
that property so they could sell the corner for the CVS. They're a whole goal was to be able

1705
02:57:18,600 --> 02:57:25,720
to live their lives in that house and selling that corner or help them financially in

1706
02:57:25,720 --> 02:57:25,920
the state.

1707
02:57:26,600 --> 02:57:32,540
And that really makes me happy today when I think about Peggy and of course Grover is still

1708
02:57:32,540 --> 02:57:40,880
in the house today, so just my thoughts and prayers to the leader family and I wish them peace

1709
02:57:40,880 --> 02:57:43,420
and comfort in the days of it.

1710
02:57:44,060 --> 02:57:45,040
Thank you.

1711
02:57:45,040 --> 02:57:47,860
Council Member Garamelo of Council Member Schrodinger, Johnson?

1712
02:57:52,120 --> 02:57:57,400
That has, like from last 22 years, horses to, yeah.

1713
02:57:58,420 --> 02:58:06,860
So, I actually really like and the way they decorated, you know, during Christmas time, I don't think, like I was thinking, who has so much energy to do all that, you know?

1714
02:58:12,280 --> 02:58:14,570
No comments and just wanted to.

1715
02:58:17,750 --> 02:58:19,290
We women's day we had it.

1716
02:58:32,050 --> 02:58:34,870
I don't have any comments tonight, Mayor.

1717
02:58:35,090 --> 02:58:36,470
Thank you.

1718
02:58:36,710 --> 02:58:39,390
I just want to say Happy Holy and Happy Pied Day.

1719
02:58:39,530 --> 02:58:42,890
You can see up in the bottom left corner on our screen.

1720
02:58:43,630 --> 02:58:44,530
That's kind of good fun.

1721
02:58:44,910 --> 02:58:47,190
So thank you to staff for doing that.

1722
02:58:47,310 --> 02:58:51,110

Thank you, Mayor.

1724
02:58:52,290 --> 02:58:58,130
I'm going to ask Erin Hudson to come up and give a quick update on a guest at Holy.

1725
02:59:05,810 --> 02:59:12,870
members of the Council. As you all know, in our continued efforts to help you maintain and build

1726
02:59:12,870 --> 02:59:20,650

1727
02:59:20,650 --> 02:59:27,630

1728
02:59:27,630 --> 02:59:31,250

1731
02:59:43,330 --> 02:59:44,570

1732
02:59:48,150 --> 02:59:50,430
Anything else tell me in the pitch? Okay.

1733
02:59:51,370 --> 02:59:55,430
We have two closed sessions this evening to discuss a personal matter and the acquisition of real

1734
02:59:55,430 --> 02:59:59,970
property. We do not plan to conduct any further public business after our close
