[0:00] I sure did you know today was your
next-door neighbor's birthday oh good
[0:12] ladies and gentlemen Ryan Henry all
right please have a seat make yourself
[0:22] comfortable
oh okay
[0:36] pleasure to have everyone here it's been
a while it'll be a while before we have
[0:41] a regular type of meeting but we're
getting closer
[0:45] maybe we approach the hour at six
o'clock thank everyone for being here a
[0:59] number of things to address and still
learning listen to the two o'clock
[1:07] conference call about the new rules and
provisions and they did not discuss
[1:13] basketball courts at all they're just
they're dodging that like dodge ball
[1:18] courts so still I'm still torn and open
to the council's guidance on that
[1:28] because we're getting insight can we
move forward with our request to
[1:36] initiate Genesis if we're a little early
yeah that's great it is chef it just
[1:46] left the room
all right Bailey says it's six o'clock
[1:53] it's six o'clock I'm gonna call this
meeting to order and our invocation I'd
[2:01] like to ask our birthday boy - please be
Lord known by many names beyond all
[2:09] names spirit of life spirit of love
spirit of community and spirit of
[2:14] justice I ask your blessings on the
people who have been called to lead the
[2:18] community in which we live work and play
help us as leaders not to ask first how
[2:24] do we fix this but what do we need to
learn how might we need to change and to
[2:30] whom do we need to listen
remind us because we all forget from
[2:34] time to time especially in the noisiness
of what passes for political debate
[2:39] today that we are not only leaders but
also servants and that is also a
[2:44] responsibility to serve the common good
of all amen amen
[2:50] thank you everyone please rise for the
Pledge of Allegiance
[3:14] she doesn't like to roll over to reflect
that all council members are present
[3:19] thank you presentations straight into
our announcements and reports John the
[3:32] Treecko
chief good evening can y'all hear me
[3:35] okay yes for the month of April we had
33 calls for service 20 were EMS calls 7
[3:45] fire alarms one structure fire in the
county hazards condition motor vehicle
[3:52] collision one bomb scare and one other
the hazardous condition was a natural
[4:00] gas leak they were working at a gas line
and we just stood by and waited for them
[4:07] to patch it up really haven't been doing
a whole lot in the community because of
[4:17] the social distancing but we have done a
large amount of drive-by birthday
[4:23] parties this is smoke it's kind of cool
I guess that's the new thing right now
[4:27] for a while but that's what we're doing
and we do I do have a presentation for
[4:34] you later on the storm siren have a
question will you be doing a drive-by
[4:45] for our birthday boy tonight
[4:49] nobody slowed it up but we can certainly
do
[4:54] you know Ryan I know Tom Lanford has
arrived in the I guess in the pursuit of
[5:02] a speaking opportunity and we had I
think we had decided not to be able to
[5:07] allow speakers tonight because of the
controlled distancing so I didn't know
[5:12] if it would be unfair to other people
that we had declined the opportunity to
[5:16] speak if we were to allow him here in
rejection I appreciate you coming though
[5:22] Tom but I wanted to make sure it was
fair to others did okay okay as was
[5:48] Kevin who I told not to bother to come
because of the change in the rules so my
[5:55] okay thank you all right there we go all
right it looks great awesome so just
[6:23] like chupa treecko's said you know some
of our areas reflected in our stats you
[6:30] know things that you would expect to be
down or down but I'll show you in some
[6:35] later slides that you know some of the
things that we're dealing with right now
[6:40] you wouldn't think we would be in this
pandemic but criminals don't really care
[6:44] about social distancing and and
following the rules so I'll show you a
[6:48] few things and let you know what these
officers have been dealing with but the
[6:51] one thing I wanted to highlight on this
slide so you see we have no arrests but
[6:56] we have eleven offenses so that's that's
kind of unusual that's part of the
[7:01] Barrett County Jail not accepting
prisoners right now and if they do it's
[7:05] on a very very limited base
so we're actually having a call and
[7:09] asked before takin anybody down if they
want to accept them or not so you know
[7:15] it is what it is and of course we
haven't done any traffic stops well we
[7:18] have the one that's more of a reckless
driving issue so we are going to start
[7:24] traffic on a limited basis this week
it's basically going to be for safety
[7:30] major safety violations like ten miles
over the speed limit things like that so
[7:35] we'll get busy on that because our
compliance is just terrible right now
[7:42] nothing I nor denied a report on this
slide so I'll run through these calls
[7:47] real quick and I've got a few photos to
show you and we'll wrap it up notable
[7:51] calls for service so our officers was
flagged down this this is the call that
[7:56] started the homeless camp situation
there was a group of them at our Circle
[8:02] K that got in a fight and when officers
showed up the guy that said he got
[8:08] assaulted became really odd and erratic
and started filming the officers and
[8:13] filming their license plates and then
just took off so this is kind of the
[8:17] call that started this whole process and
then we had another fight in progress
[8:21] which is right across the street over
here testers and the officers actually
[8:26] chased those individuals into the tunnel
system so this this is the beginning of
[8:32] what we we saw on the news another call
we had a suicidal person with a knife
[8:37] that was a mental health case four out
of our officers they thought that
[8:41] subject down and transported that
individual to the hospital and then we
[8:47] also had another issue where two
individuals had caused an accident
[8:53] somewhere on the highway we still don't
know where and they hid their car behind
[8:57] the daycare school over here by Taco
Cabana and then walked into the Taco
[9:02] Cabana so I'll show you some of the
outfall from that call and then this
[9:07] last one here it's something recent I
normally wait to the next month but this
[9:11] one might be on the news so long let the
council know about it it was a working
[9:14] dog complaint that ended up being a a
house that was allegedly selling
[9:18] marijuana
so here's that traffic stopped where
[9:23] those two individuals were whilst a
traffic stop the the situation where
[9:27] they were at Taco Cabana so this is
stuff you don't see every day that's
[9:32] actually a steroid injection and this is
what about Praslin pills is that next
[9:43] bars basically which we see those all
the time and then you see all this
[9:46] paraphernalia there was marijuana and
all kinds of stuff so all this was
[9:51] illegal obviously in a felony that was
the top of cabana thing correct so here
[9:59] here is the the house that we got a
search warrant and searched this is some
[10:06] of the things that we found inside this
home so one of the individuals bag here
[10:11] just was full of paraphernalia and of
course we found cash anytime you see in
[10:15] a person's possession denominations in
this quantity then and you find drugs
[10:22] and they're more likely selling here's
here's the kicker this is a ledger of
[10:28] expenses and income which is very
helpful in a case like this for us and
[10:33] then all these lighters and some other
paraphernalia but here's the main thing
[10:37] so you're looking at about 14 ounces of
marijuana which doesn't sound like a lot
[10:43] but it's actually a felony amount and
that's a bit little over a pound of
[10:48] marijuana and he had just got back home
when we were there so he had just went
[10:54] and purchased this so he can package it
up and selling allegedly uh you know I
[11:02] don't the street value is right now
marijuana is actually doing pretty well
[11:05] because the other drugs that are
skyrocketing because the chemicals to
[11:09] make meth and phenyl are coming from
China of course there's an issue right
[11:13] now with stuff coming from overseas
because of kovetz so marijuana is
[11:17] selling pretty cheap and there's lots of
it so we'll find out though it's a good
[11:21] question alright so I want to give you a
quick update on the tunnels so obviously
[11:26] we we got the word out that we were
having this issue so this very first
[11:31] block where it says text
they Kelly can back me up on this one
[11:36] they were very responsible and
responsive they came out within days of
[11:41] us airing this story they cleaned out
this section of the tunnel really well
[11:45] they got a graffiti crew down there and
cleaned up a lot of graffiti extremely
[11:50] happy with their effort the rest of this
has been identified in the city of San
[11:54] Antonio and because of the Cova
none of the folks that would coordinate
[11:59] this cleanup were currently actively
working in the office this being on hold
[12:04] at the moment so that's where we're at
with that now here is a before shot on
[12:12] the text outside of one of the drop-offs
and here's an actor shot so if you were
[12:20] to go in the tunnels on the Hollywood
Park side when you get to the end of the
[12:23] square tunnel entrance this is the first
thing you come to is this drop-off it
[12:29] was completely full baskets and garbage
and everything else it was it was rough
[12:36] that next tunnel system opens up into
this large room which you can see
[12:40] there's still stuff in this room there's
couches there's mattresses buggies all
[12:44] kinds of good stuff
there's the other end of that it room
[12:49] chief is there is there
ambient light from manholes and other
[12:53] things men do you have to provide all
the illumination to show this how dark
[12:59] are those and this room is very dark you
can see this this manhole cover of
[13:03] newest train was the only light for this
room most of them I liked it really dark
[13:09] they were using secret lighters too or
does not unfortunately and I'll show you
[13:17] what it looks like on the other end
weird okay this is the other end this is
[13:21] the San Antonio side so this individual
is one of those responsible for taking
[13:26] stuff now look at this collection of
stuff and this is only about 20 feet
[13:30] into the tunnel but what they're doing
is they were blocking off the drainage
[13:34] right here so that water could not come
or go to keep themselves dry that was
[13:39] part of the issue now that we've cleared
some of that out I think the smaller
[13:44] debris will come out the other end but
those shopping parts are not going
[13:48] where until somebody pulls them out
they're just they're just to having too
[13:51] much stuff in them okay I can't see that
I don't I don't think so it's just just
[14:03] the amount of space that's available
around it I think we're okay so like
[14:08] chief of treecko's said we will have
these parades as well and a lot of these
[14:12] gift bags but this is the one I want to
show you this this young girl here she
[14:18] drew a picture of her favorite officer
officer Reyes sent that to us so we took
[14:22] her a teddy bear that was just awesome
she sent that in the mail to us so it
[14:26] was pretty sweet
and then we celebrated National Police
[14:30] week this week as well and then I have
two project updates real quick with the
[14:38] first camera of the entrance camera
project has gone up right here in front
[14:43] of Mecca and it's it's part of that
license plate reader program and it's
[14:47] it's really looking great the big one is
this e citation the ticket writers that
[14:54] we're putting in the cars for the
officers to make us go paperless we
[14:58] started that project officially this
week so we're looking at July to have
[15:04] these things up and running and
completely on board without any help in
[15:08] probably August September but in July we
should have that up and running awesome
[15:15] yes very exciting ending any questions
all I had
[15:21] No and if you have any Thank You chief
thank you
[15:28] Mike Kelly public works let me share
with us I first ask Megan to come for
[15:38] come in and give you a little bit of
announcement Megan has tendered her
[15:44] resignation she has decided she wants to
go take care of her family which I
[15:49] applaud greatly I wanted you all to know
what's going on and I wanted Megan to
[15:55] come in and to be able to tell her to
her face how much I appreciate
[16:00] everything she's done please come up
here yeah everything that she's done the
[16:05] the intimate part of the team how she
worked with everybody and how much I
[16:10] really appreciate it and this is just a
little token of thanks for me all right
[16:25] Megan so you know Megan I work in the
police problem worked very very well
[16:30] together and we are sad to see her go
and I'm even more sad not to get updates
[16:35] from your sweet baby girl but this is
for me the only deal is you have to open
[16:40] in front of council
[17:01] [Music]
[18:16] so I've got a couple I've had two
rentals for July scheduled this week so
[18:24] things are starting to come up soon if
you look at the code log the code log
[18:30] for 2020 of April we had 29 total cases
once again numbers are down they backed
[18:37] off on a lot of the aesthetic code
violations we focus mostly on
[18:44] contractors people coming in here trying
to come in and then egregious violations
[18:50] so we have 29 sole got nine pending
cases and I got 20 close to finding four
[18:58] courts and I believe that's the
fleetwood case and the rhythm
[19:01] depending on course so some of the
things that's going on with with Public
[19:08] Works we managed to get the other shade
structures installed in the pool so
[19:12] they're up and running
I've got Czar's has promised me they
[19:17] will have a technician out first thing
in the morning
[19:19] so we'll have hopefully have the splash
pad up and running by the end of day
[19:22] tomorrow the high-water indicators are
up and running
[19:28] I talked to Barrett County day before
yesterday we're waiting on Barrett
[19:31] counties in to get the software going so
we can integrate let's see what else
[19:39] road project it's going along pretty
smoothly it's on kind of a hold right
[19:43] now and I'm sure the mayor can give you
a little bit more of an update on that
[19:47] than I can that's pretty much it I mean
everything else is just moving along
[19:53] really steadily so any questions I do
have a question you just mentioned
[19:59] something about you are getting some
bookings at the Void Center but only at
[20:03] 25% but if they're in July I mean if I'm
not mistaken I was looking at their get
[20:09] connected email that came out I mean
they could be possibly at 75% by then
[20:14] but they could make any kind of effort
to go back to them and say hey guys you
[20:17] can invite more people you know yes sir
okay I've got all their information and
[20:22] a lot of people are calling and saying
how long or how close to my event can I
[20:28] cancel
can I just hold onto the date because if
[20:31] things change right hopefully we can
still have our event I've got no problem
[20:36] with that okay hold on to it stay before
your event you say well we can't do it
[20:40] you want to cancel it or recently little
later in the year thank you all right
[20:51] thank you
[21:01] it's got some icon yes okay and I think
the billet entrance both of the
[21:07] businesses those are private property
yeah
[21:10] so once again this is where we come in
with the aesthetics of the code we
[21:15] backed off on the grass issue unless it
was causing a safety or health issue so
[21:20] I can go over here and talk to them
they're both super nice site is always
[21:23] nice right right and all I do is go talk
to them and they get someone to take a
[21:28] hair so I'll make sure I take care of
that this Soul Eater organ is running is
[21:44] cooling right now there I turned it the
opposite direction okay you know Megan I
[21:51] would like to ask
I appreciate your your help with us and
[21:55] if if you know of someone knowing
knowing the work and the scope of the
[22:00] work and the type of work that that
you've been doing if you know of someone
[22:04] that you think would be a qualified
interested person if you would encourage
[22:09] them to reach out to Kelly I'd
appreciate it because your perspective
[22:12] would be helpful okay thank you I
appreciate that
[22:20] right after Kelly wipes off the
microphone it'll be Jeff's turn I had my
[22:27] own
[22:36] Thank You Kelly thank you ready yes sir
all right we'll talk about the
[22:43] financials on the summary on the first
page that's where I'll go over most of
[22:47] the stuff tonight our property tax or at
94% usually will come up to about 98
[22:53] percent and I expect that to happen
during the summer so some of the items
[22:58] were paid some of the taxes are paid
quarterly my individuals sales tax we
[23:05] got our April sales tax and it was 18%
below last year I haven't got an answer
[23:11] yet for the con floor about the 44%
below one but I expect that because
[23:15] they're not getting back to work yet I
have checked Mays and May was 120
[23:20] thousand last year and it is 90 thousand
this year it's down 26 percent which
[23:27] isn't bad considering May is March or
sales taxes and things started closing
[23:31] down the 1 will need to watch for is
June because June will be April's and
[23:38] April was where the month was completely
closed down and then July well we
[23:42] started opening up in May so it starts
efficient you know be coming back the
[23:47] city is still in very good financial
shape we have the benefit of the
[23:52] billboard that we've got the extra
$150,000 for that's wasn't the
[23:55] miscellaneous revenue municipal court
revenue is still above the percentage
[24:01] we're at in the year with a 58% part of
the budget year and we're 60% right now
[24:06] that will probably wait it might not go
down like we haven't had court in like
[24:12] three months or two months so we we have
a court and we have three months we
[24:16] might be okay it's surprising but we'll
see I want you to look at the Voight one
[24:24] Voight you know land up with almost
60,000 dollars of revenue last year and
[24:27] it has hurt here and as you see there's
a negative three thousand five hundred
[24:31] seventy five dollars that's us giving
back money on the cancellations of this
[24:36] happened we have had a lot of
cancellations and we've met the money we
[24:40] expected that but the summer should pick
up the expenses everything is in line
[24:45] the one that's over it so seven
is sending one person's general
[24:49] government that's because the insurance
repeated the insurance all up front
[24:53] because it gave us a five percent
discount so that will even itself out as
[24:57] we go through the year Public Works is
only forty percent of his budget and
[25:03] that's because the three hundred sixty
six thousand dollars for the road
[25:07] project that our first invoice and for
one hundred seventeen thousand that's
[25:11] going to come out of streets and if the
general fund gets in the situation this
[25:16] year I don't think it is but if it does
we'll pay all of the road project this
[25:21] part of the year because it's not going
to be finished this total year out of
[25:24] the street fund which is part of it
which is part of the minute and the term
[25:28] reform will so have money and we'll look
at it next year's budget do what we can
[25:31] and can't do the guys have actually
pulled out right now there are no no no
[25:36] workers in there so there won't be
another invoice probably till later on
[25:40] this summer other than that everything
is in line the cities and very good
[25:47] financial shape and don't worry about if
you look down here current period where
[25:51] system- two hundred seventy thousand
dollars that is not all because of any
[25:55] closings that's the way it is in cities
you should get toward the end of the
[25:58] year because your property tax all comes
in in the first part of the year and
[26:03] that twice is ninety four percent so we
should go through the summer a lot of
[26:07] times you'll have a negative down there
but that's because a lot of the revenue
[26:10] was paid upfront there any questions or
anything
[26:13] hmm moved money over to Plains Bank
we're about to do it this week okay
[26:24] because then they give us a discount
period or whatever where we wouldn't be
[26:28] charged fees I'm gonna have to be I'm
gonna probably have to come back to you
[26:34] because I feel like it would be cleaning
them out and we'll redo the date on the
[26:38] banking contract or five years from
whatever because of what happened here
[26:42] and like their office over here closed
it was open I talked mr. Howe and the
[26:49] mayor took the actual seminars this last
week so we can actually get it I
[26:54] couldn't put money in there because we
couldn't do it they made it go through
[26:57] the seminar this hey bankers
it's a lot more complicated than most of
[27:01] them because we got positive pay and
these items all over we're gonna go
[27:04] through it but it's not an item where
you change in a week because we have
[27:08] money coming from the Department of
Justice the IRS coming from the state
[27:12] and all these monies that are coming to
the bank account a lot comes to tech
[27:15] pool which is not a problem a lot comes
to bank account so you have to duel
[27:19] these bank accounts for about three
months so you can make sure you catch
[27:22] any grants that would come in so you can
change the bank account that they're
[27:27] going through is that they don't send
checks anymore now they just send it and
[27:30] drop it into your account so what we'll
do is move over and we'll do some checks
[27:35] and all on payables first then we'll do
payroll deposit with them as a little
[27:40] different and we'll try out the payroll
and we'll always have they're the ones
[27:43] to back up and then we will move all the
money over I anticipate by the end of
[27:49] September or October okay and then
you're gonna have one bank account for
[27:52] the general fund and one bank account
for Economic Development Corporation the
[27:56] system itself will take care of moving
the money between all the funds and
[28:02] it'll be a lot easier to take care of
it's a lot easier to invest the money
[28:05] also because the money is all in one
place fixed pool will still have the
[28:09] five or six accounts what it has which
is fine because they will be listed
[28:12] separately within the funds balance
sheets because Tech's pool will not be
[28:16] part of the actual bank account pool
cash is it's called just for where
[28:22] you're putting entry Center stuff for
example right now if I want to move
[28:26] money from one fund another I or one's
gonna have to borrow because in and have
[28:29] the money yet I actually pay about a one
I make it entry of a do to from the one
[28:36] that got the money do from on the other
one that's like an account or super
[28:40] accounts payable but what the auditors
we're comfortable for is those are
[28:45] supposed to be for one year only and
they're supposed to be closed out so
[28:48] last year we went through when I
reconciled
[28:51] all of them and gave it to them so now I
just put their entries in and I've
[28:55] checked the balances so now we ought to
be able to actually clean these out so
[28:58] there's no more duped we do from unless
I put them in there that I feel residual
[29:02] from elsewhere and we'll be able to get
this going with the pool cash but it is
[29:08] a long process in that pool cash is
really a fun
[29:12] and it is complicated to put together
because you have to have certain
[29:16] accounts from fun - fun all the way
through and I have to be very careful so
[29:20] I'll be doing that and I'll use it on a
trial basis to see what's going on but
[29:25] we will be moving money to them this
week and checks I will be going down to
[29:30] their their bank lobbies aren't open so
I'll be going down to Alamo Heights
[29:34] where they have a drive-thru and putting
it in there and we will take it from
[29:39] there we'll start paying checks out of
there as soon as we get the checks in we
[29:43] got or the chicks and get a man to take
about four or five days myself and then
[29:47] we'll be paying money from there but we
will have dual bank accounts for about
[29:50] three months okay when you talk about
councilman Hale and the mayor doing
[29:55] their similar class the training yes did
councilman how log in to do the system
[30:01] prove and type entitlements and do what
councilman how the mayor pro-tem yes you
[30:11] the system to approve entitlements and
it's not been done so it can't you can't
[30:17] start using it yet but right now the
mayor has complete set up in it so he
[30:42] can go in there and do it and I they
gave me set up for the stuff slang going
[30:46] they're doing and I can give if a bear
weighs the any Pig for us during the
[30:51] seminar so but what we'll do is we'll
say it's a tight system and it's man it
[31:02] is tight it's gonna take longer to get
things out well I'm going to get checks
[31:05] out you and there will be a lot of items
that come in that we actually have to
[31:11] approve checks even though we wrote a
check I'll have to prove it and say yes
[31:13] and items like that and when something
somebody comes in who we have a item
[31:18] with where they could you know do an ACH
those all have to be approved at the
[31:22] time - it tastes like two or three
approvals for everything
[31:25] so it is but I didn't get that up I was
doing other stuff this week and when I
[31:32] set up so when I put the money in that's
what though we'd get together and I
[31:35] should try to get some and have them
both actually approve the questions
[31:43] don't know thank you though Jim Janice
[31:51] thank you Muir well I hope everybody
likes the new system that we have here
[31:56] in the council chambers it took a while
and just to let the residents know know
[32:02] money's came out of the general fund for
this we have a dedicated fund it's
[32:07] called the PEP fund which stands for or
four and I knew this public educational
[32:14] and government access we don't have a
governmental access channel here in
[32:17] Hollywood Park so those funds it's a
percentage of it goes into this count
[32:21] it's a dedicated account and v can
explain it to you but we had money in
[32:25] there and you know Lord knows we needed
to have an upgrade in here the history
[32:29] about hearing the council chambers is we
used to record and I'm sure Debbie
[32:33] remembers it's just on CDs and we just
had the audio and that's all we had and
[32:37] so we wanted to upgrade maybe about nine
years ago or so there was a gentleman
[32:42] that lived here in Hollywood Park and he
owned an audio-visual company and he
[32:45] upgraded to the system that we currently
had which we wanted to add streaming to
[32:50] it and that's why we had the YouTube
account well God rest his soul he passed
[32:55] away several years ago that company has
been sold and purchased many many many
[32:59] many times and apologized especially to
david swann love you mr. Swann but he
[33:05] has had to put up with all this time of
video didn't record oh it wasn't
[33:08] streaming I love this system we hired
after Mitch researching we wanted
[33:13] somebody that was local
the mayor certainly did approve so that
[33:17] went before the mayor also and we went
ahead and had a company called TBS
[33:22] digital display systems which is locally
owned come in and give us their proposal
[33:26] as a matter of fact I believe Kelly and
mr. Sims from the EDC are currently
[33:31] working with them also to upgrade the
Void Center
[33:34] so one of the first things they did was
they took off the projector as you can
[33:38] see it's no longer there
and the screen which we'll be able to
[33:41] resell I'm sure other cities or other
entities would love to have it and I
[33:46] really wanted to get your advice and
your suggestions we had the two panels
[33:49] up here for the audience to be able to
see more clearly right behind you on the
[33:53] dais and especially for you as council
members to be able to see that panel and
[33:59] I don't know if you can see it very
clearly or not but they had a pretty
[34:02] large sized one one of the best things
about this system is when we go through
[34:06] budget sessions this year you know many
people say oh my gosh I can't see
[34:10] everybody down here when we are on the
tables you will now be able to see
[34:14] because those cameras are investable so
the system to be able to stream is
[34:19] pretty effortless there's about six
steps as opposed to the 15 that we had
[34:24] before and it's it's just very nice
after the meeting tonight it'll
[34:29] automatically shut off the streaming I
just have to hit one button it takes
[34:32] about 45 minutes and then it
automatically goes to YouTube so I don't
[34:35] have to do that it does it for us so
[34:39] like I said with paid upfront we eat eat
with the EP funds and so far so good now
[34:44] I know DDS had some suggestions was when
the mayor and the department heads and
[34:49] myself met whenever they were showing us
two different panels of what they can
[34:53] and cannot do the mayor someone had
suggested that perhaps we might want a
[34:59] camera right up here above our city hall
logo so that way whoever is speaking we
[35:04] can see their face and the people in the
audience region stream can see their
[35:07] face also I believe one of the
department heads also was asking you
[35:12] know previously when we had our panel up
here as you can see what's like a split
[35:16] screen so you could see the council
chambers and then the report of you know
[35:22] that what's happening for me to
department yet right now it'll just show
[35:25] the report or it'll just show the
council chambers it doesn't show it
[35:28] split screen so those are just a few of
the things that they are suggesting if
[35:31] we would like to add those things that
they could certainly give us a proposal
[35:35] for those and up to you to decide and
apart from the council chambers we are
[35:44] looking into the cybersecurity train
that I talked about
[35:47] at the last council meeting so we did
get leave free option from tml on
[35:54] cybersecurity and what we need to do so
if you can just handle one and pass
[35:59] these around each one of you I'll be
sending you an email on how to access
[36:04] the training it takes about maybe 10 15
minutes take the test and just send it
[36:09] to me and I'll be sending you that that
logon later on this evening and this
[36:14] just has to be completed by June 14th we
have to do it every year I went ahead
[36:18] and send it to Jeff for Human Resources
so that way he can get together with the
[36:24] department heads of the employees to
make sure they're done it's very basic
[36:27] very simple so it's not difficult at all
and the other thing I wanted to share
[36:32] with you is research and currently the
city of San Antonio or rather bear
[36:37] County is providing what they call
essential item bag program to all of the
[36:44] small businesses in bear county so as
they are seeing small businesses and
[36:48] what I mean by small is any business
that we have in Hollywood Park that is
[36:51] has 25 employees or less the county is
helping them transition into opening by
[36:58] offering one week's worth of masks
gloves any type of protective equipment
[37:05] hand sanitizer even the plexiglass that
you can put in your store restaurant yes
[37:10] yes sir all of that so on behalf of the
EDC I'll be sending out something to all
[37:16] the small businesses letting them know
that the EDC is involved we want to help
[37:20] them out we care about what's going on
so we're sending them the link so that
[37:24] way they can apply for that program to
get that free free one week's worth of
[37:28] supplies and that's all I have
[Music]
[37:37] okay I just want to make sure you had
the appropriate distance yes all right
[37:56] Thank You Janice
Thank You Ryan yes please we hadn't
[38:06] heard confirmation that you were going
to be able to make it I want to make
[38:10] sure we had space for you
Thank You councilman Vireo can you guys
[38:16] hear me yes this time a little more than
I normally talk but it's a flat fee
[38:25] tonight's over live man while the the
governor keeps you know rolling out his
[38:33] new regulations and these new executive
orders we have to adjust weekly and
[38:39] sometimes daily depending on what's
going on I need to point out and just
[38:45] let the council keep in mind that
Municipal Court doesn't actually follow
[38:50] those rules the Texas Supreme Court
issues their own rules that the court
[38:55] has to follow now a lot of times they
align fine and so there's really not
[39:00] much of a big difference and since you
know court has been closed and canceled
[39:06] there really hasn't been anything as far
as social distancing that both the judge
[39:11] and myself have been you know still
handling defendants and matters and
[39:18] issuing words and stuff but it's been
significantly reduced especially if the
[39:25] defendant has a lawyer there represents
them that that actually makes the
[39:29] communication stuff easier but starting
June 1st the Supreme Court has said that
[39:33] courts can open back up for
non-essential hearings however to do
[39:37] that it's actually placing certain
restrictions certain hoops that court
[39:42] has to go through and I've spoken with
Judge Dolan regarding
[39:47] we have to come up with a plan a social
distancing plan that is applied during
[39:51] court it has to be approved by the
Health Authority it has to be approved
[39:55] by what's called your regional
administrative judge which is one of the
[40:02] judges it's actually a City Hall judge
Hall down in Burke County so we've
[40:09] prepared the proper plans and everything
but court will look very different and
[40:14] operate very different when it does
start back up we are debating you know
[40:21] the Chiefs as he pointed out you know
they weren't writing tickets for a while
[40:27] you know the officers safe and only in
you know instances way to you know what
[40:32] immediate riskless driving or dangerous
situation but we still have you know a
[40:39] lot of tickets that have been written
before that we handle and moving forward
[40:43] and so depending on exactly how large
the docket is the judge said he may want
[40:49] to look at doing two courts in order to
like in the same month in order to knock
[40:54] stuff out but we don't we don't really
know how it's going to turn out we got
[40:57] to kind of generate the numbers and
figure out how that works but we're
[41:01] coordinating with Janice and you know
I'm just figuring out that the best way
[41:06] to have that proceed I just want the
council to be aware that those changes
[41:11] do have to occur but we can't really do
anything till after June 1st anyway but
[41:16] it'll be a little bit different because
the court is supposed to follow the
[41:19] supreme court orders and not you know
the governor's orders so it's just a
[41:25] little bit there have been you know
several different things that have gone
[41:33] on and I know you guys are getting ready
to start your budget cycle you know in
[41:38] the next couple of months
and one of the things I wanted to just
[41:43] you know ask the council and you can
provide me any feedback you want to you
[41:48] know over the next few weeks I was going
to kind of give you a breakdown of from
[41:55] the City Attorney's Office you know
where expenses are generated where they
[41:59] come from so you can
streamline things and hopefully we can
[42:03] figure out a good way to you know keep
the legal expenses streamlined and down
[42:09] and reduce them I don't know that number
but you had several instance several
[42:18] things that came up this last year that
are never gonna come up again and
[42:22] several things that came up that you
have since six but it you know it raises
[42:27] the expenses during those times what
those won't be reoccurring sure but
[42:33] there are certain things you should
probably plan on that you're gonna have
[42:35] some unexpected you know whatever during
the year and I was gonna present a bit
[42:41] of a proposal to you to adjust your the
retention from the flat fee part of it
[42:48] to make it more efficient and hopefully
cheaper for you guys during the budget
[42:53] process all right so but to do that the
best way to do it is just to kind of
[42:59] know where you're having where the legal
time is being spent what kind of
[43:04] projects what kind of things what kind
of issues that come up and see if we can
[43:08] preempt some of those in streamline
right I do want to I was waiting for
[43:18] after the Coe bid stuff kind of passes
and we can have full meetings on the
[43:26] Dyess again but there's no telling when
that will be to bring some ordinance and
[43:32] code adjustments to you and those tweaks
here or there that I've noticed from the
[43:36] prosecution standpoint or from just kind
of management standpoint also to help
[43:40] streamline so you don't need me as much
you know streamline matters for you
[43:45] going forward and I am completely and
totally bummed that Meghan is leading
[43:50] she does help significantly on the the
civil abatement side in getting you know
[43:58] properties fixed and and helping us be
able to handle the system that the
[44:03] council adopted last year and I think
it's been very effective and efficient
[44:09] and we were able to handle disputed
properties and things that we don't
[44:13] normally get to handle as easily just
in the criminal system and a lot of that
[44:16] is due to Megan so whoever steps into
those shoes is gonna have some big shoes
[44:20] to fill and that's all I happen unless
you have any questions I have a question
[44:24] and March when our meeting was cancelled
it was on the agenda for the ordinance
[44:29] to be talked about with the vehicles
parked in yards and stuff like that is
[44:34] that gonna come back to the agenda yeah
whenever you guys are ready to bring it
[44:37] back and start you know presenting
things where I can propose changes to
[44:42] ordinances that that's the first one
because that was on the agenda that got
[44:45] cancer and I've requested cancelling
cooming to know and when do you want to
[44:52] get brought back up and you wanted to
wait from the last month but do you
[44:58] think you'll have an opportunity to
present information to us next month as
[45:02] far as your projected legal expenses it
sounded like you were you've got an idea
[45:07] in mind as to give us an idea is that
for later in the summer when we're close
[45:11] to the budgets of July okay are you yeah
are you are you getting a feel Ryan for
[45:24] when the co big issues will lessen and
other municipalities will be able to
[45:31] work him back to a more common time or
say you getting a feel yeah yeah and
[45:37] I've been I get the tml updates but I
also some other you know city attorneys
[45:46] we have a network that's kind of around
the state that we talk as well I share
[45:51] the State Bar section on government
lawyers and so I'm constantly in
[45:57] communication with different government
lawyers and groups and that's the main
[46:02] topic that we all discuss is when is
that when's it going to kind of lessen
[46:07] up and the governor is intent to open
back up Texas and roll out really is
[46:15] geared more towards a fast-track but
take into account that doing that we're
[46:21] gonna have a spike and he's my
understanding building in what
[46:28] municipalities will be more prepared for
that so we'll have as much of an impact
[46:33] on when it happens and so the governor
issued a new order yesterday that
[46:42] actually added to the list of businesses
that can open up as well as remove some
[46:50] restrictions that are on the city and it
exempted the city from certain things
[46:54] that your businesses have to follow and
we've kind of had to follow and did out
[46:58] of an abundance of caution when his
previous orders were not quite as clear
[47:04] I guess and so I think you're you're
going to see the ability to I'm not sure
[47:11] exactly when we'll return to quote
normal or whatever the new normal ends
[47:15] up being that's a term I've heard way
too much of in the past couple of weeks
[47:19] but it's really it's starting now so I
think you're gonna see a fast but steady
[47:27] movement at least from the legal side
about your abilities to do things and
[47:33] and businesses can open up and what you
can do to help them and what city staff
[47:37] can do and things like that but I'll
stress that all of that is you know your
[47:47] emergency management coordinators
determination about the safety aspects
[47:53] that are going on specifically in City
Hall and so I believe it's cheaper to go
[48:00] so you know he in that capacity he and
the mayor and kind of a combined aspect
[48:08] legally are the ones that have the
ability to to decide that but as long as
[48:14] there's nothing they see that requires
us to do immediate lockdown again or
[48:19] some restrictions then we can follow
kind of what the governor's
[48:22] recommendations are and bear counties we
don't necessarily have to follow what
[48:27] San Antonio's are but we do have to we
are subject to what bear county
[48:35] you know I'm sorry go ahead
what is your feet okay so we're not
[48:40] doing health checks anymore when
employees come in what's your what's
[48:45] your feeling on that I I and what is
what's the are would the employees
[48:49] feelings on that because I felt like we
should still be doing that so one of the
[48:54] big reasons why we felt it was important
to do that at the beginning was because
[49:00] we're worried about people being sick
and deciding that I need to come to work
[49:06] because I need to make the money and get
paid and also as mentally ill in
[49:20] hindsight we offer sick leave and if
somebody has a fever or they're feeling
[49:26] sick they're not going to say oh I'm
going to work otherwise I won't get paid
[49:30] they're gonna take a sick day and get
paid I think that with the amount of
[49:37] employees we have and after a month of
doing this it's pretty obvious that I
[49:46] think everybody is mature enough to
where if they have a fever or they're
[49:50] not feeling well that they're gonna stay
home and they're not going to come to
[49:54] work and expose everybody else I do know
that our guys over at the fire station
[50:01] we're not comfortable coming in contact
with every employee every morning coming
[50:06] to work because you can't take a
temperature on somebody standing more
[50:10] than six feet away from them just
doesn't work that way so they were being
[50:15] put at more of a risk than they should
have been I guess by having to come in
[50:22] contact with everybody every day that
was coming to work so with that in mind
[50:28] I felt like it was time things were
winding down we haven't had as many
[50:36] regional medical operation meetings
they've been canceling a lot of those
[50:41] they canceled the one today been having
one a week now and everything that we
[50:46] hear from
his things are starting to taper off the
[50:50] numbers are starting to look a little
bit higher with positive cases because
[50:55] they now have tests out there there's so
many tests available now that you're
[51:00] getting more positive results that were
there to begin with
[51:04] they just weren't tested so and in the
grand scheme of things I think we have
[51:11] peaked and we're on the downfall judging
from what I've heard so I know it was
[51:19] good I'm glad we were doing health
screening on all the employees for that
[51:23] time but I think at this point I think
it's safe to say that if anybody wakes
[51:30] up and they've got over a hundred point
four fever that they're going to stay
[51:33] home along those lines the governor also
had mandated that all yeah I was gonna
[51:45] bring them up that they have to be
tested all the residents and the
[51:49] employees and the Texas Department of
Emergency Management had put that on the
[51:56] shoulders of all the fire departments
mm-hmm get that completed and done now
[52:02] it wasn't where we were mandated to
actually go over there and do the
[52:05] testing for them it's we need to go over
there and offer our assistance if they
[52:10] need any help getting it done so we went
and spoke with Brookdale and they have a
[52:17] plan for June 22nd invest all their
residents and employees however June 20
[52:24] seconds' a little further out there
governor this to be done so I contacted
[52:30] the city of San Antonio and they're
supposed to get with them and offer
[52:36] their assistance to get testing done a
little bit sooner okay so we've been
[52:41] working with them at Brookdale and
trying to get the testing completed in a
[52:45] timely manner then they imply a two-week
window for wanting all that down date
[52:49] they did I heard
[52:54] Regional Medical operation center remark
had stated this has become after after
[52:59] looking at it become such a big project
and there's so many nursing homes and
[53:03] residents and employees that they feel
the two weeks was kind of a stretch I
[53:08] think it's going to take a little bit
longer Ani Johnny while ago when I kind
[53:20] of heard a double side here you said
that you thought all the employees were
[53:24] mature enough to know not to come to
work if they were sick then why are
[53:27] there firemen afraid to get in contact
with them to take their temperature I
[53:31] mean I personally if I have to go to the
doctor or something or some like this I
[53:35] feel good knowing because I'll ask the
policy or your employees being there
[53:40] fever taking it I mean the temperature
taking and stuff like this before they
[53:44] enter the building and when they say yes
I think well at least I've got a little
[53:47] bit of a chance of not coming in too
exposed to it so taking someone's
[53:52] temperature and then having 100.4 fever
doesn't mean that they have
[53:56] kovin if they have a call if it doesn't
mean they have coded you know not just
[54:02] because they have symptom doesn't mean
they have it so I think the point is if
[54:08] somebody somebody comes to work here
they might have it and they might not
[54:12] have a temperature at all they might be
asymptomatic and and carry it and then
[54:17] my guys are being exposed to it either
way
[54:19] so just because you wake up and you
don't have a fever doesn't mean you're
[54:22] not a carrier so it's one of those deals
were it's catch-22 and I would I feel
[54:30] like people can come to work if they
don't have a fever we're gonna tell them
[54:35] to go to work anyway we're gonna take
their temperature and say hey you're
[54:38] clear down in the building whether they
[54:46] I'm not sure there any other questions
for thank you go thank you both right
[54:52] Oscar I'd like to apologize if there was
any misgivings I'd like you to I wanted
[54:58] you to have a place in the room if you
were able to come and like you to sit as
[55:02] close to the group as you'd like okay
super my misunderstanding that's my
[55:13] misunderstanding I wasn't I did not hear
that you were confirmed for come late
[55:17] but you just could not come in during
the day that's what I heard you could
[55:20] not do yeah you couldn't come in the day
but you didn't say you could come in the
[55:25] evening that's what I heard that's all
that's all you said I did I made sure
[55:35] you had I made sure you had a place in
the room yes I'm just asking you now if
[55:39] you'd like to move forward you may okay
thank you thank you okay point taken all
[55:48] right it's my turn to thank everyone for
coming tonight
[55:54] spite of their combative nature your
part I'm the proud of the residents and
[56:01] their efforts to be diligent and
vigilant and trying to keep their
[56:07] families safe
I appreciate it it's a lot of changes
[56:13] and things for all of us that we're
working hard and now we're making
[56:17] progress and and I appreciate that and
we're moving forward on a lot of things
[56:24] and again I thank everyone's involvement
in that effort moving on to the consent
[56:32] agenda and we like to approve the
minutes in the regular council meeting
[56:36] on April 21st in the financial
statements of April 30th I move that we
[56:40] approve the consent agenda in its
entirety all those in favor
[56:47] motion carries we're going out to season
four six participation we had implied
[56:56] that that wasn't going to be allowed but
if we have email or I'm sorry yes we do
[57:04] we have one resident david swann three
one six Meadowbrook he says concerning
[57:10] the cps gas line replacement on
Meadowbrook between void and vanilla
[57:14] when is this phase of the project going
to be completed the project was to be
[57:18] completed by May 17th it is yet it is
far from finished and there have been no
[57:23] work crews on the site for over a week
the condition the work crews left the
[57:27] street easements and front yards is
disgusting not to mention the heavy
[57:30] equipment and materials they left behind
for everyone's viewing pleasure the dust
[57:35] is an added bonus as this is the first
phase of the project I hope it's not an
[57:39] indication of what homeowners on Sequoia
and vanilla have to look forward to
[57:44] hopefully a solution can be found and
soon all right and I just wanted to let
[57:49] you know mer since mr. Swan was very
kind to send it to me earlier in the day
[57:53] I did share his email with mr. Mooneyham
from CEC and mr. Mooneyham did respond I
[57:59] didn't know if you wanted to hear the
response or not sure please please share
[58:02] them um mr. Mooney honeymoony Ham
responded let him know that over mr.
[58:08] swans concerns and he said regarding the
works and conditions on Meadowbrook
[58:11] between boyd and vanilla the gas sub the
gas subcontractor that a co has
[58:17] completed the new gas mains and services
so there should not be any additional
[58:21] gas work within this block bad echo has
temporarily sent their gas crew to
[58:27] assist on another project and should be
returning within the next couple of
[58:30] weeks to continue the rest of the
proposal gas work the next round of gas
[58:35] work will include some gas main work on
metal Brooks between high-path and
[58:38] Sequoia and will also include gas main
and gas service replacements along dawn
[58:44] Ella from Meadow Brook to Mustang circle
the prime contractor Curran is working
[58:49] on a revised schedule and was looking
and is looking to begin the proposed
[58:52] roadway work on Meadowbrook between Boyd
and Dawn Anna so fortunately there's
[58:56] still some work to be done in this I'm
Stevie unfortunately there's still some
[59:00] work to be done
in this area the roadway work was
[59:03] originally scheduled to commence after
completion of all the projects proposed
[59:07] gasworks however given the temporary
departure of their gas sub consultant
[59:12] Curran is looking to adjust their
schedule to keep the project progressing
[59:15] forward in regards to the current
conditions construction projects are
[59:19] typically pretty messy until everything
is finalized and completed the
[59:23] underground conditions in Hollywood Park
are predominantly rocks subgrade which
[59:27] requires rock stars to cut in the
utility trenches which conduct which can
[59:32] certainly generate a lot of dust one of
our goals during in the design of last
[59:36] plans gas plans was to try and keep
things as neat and clean as possible
[59:40] which is why the new gas mains are
predominantly located beneath the street
[59:44] pavement this was done to minimize
impacts to residents lawns trees
[59:48] irrigation systems landscaping mailbox
mailboxes driveways etc in regards to
[59:56] the dust we will discuss the issue with
the contractor and can likely implement
[59:59] some dust control measures using street
sweeping and/or watering the proposed
[1:00:04] rows roadway work which will follow the
gas work will also be a messy process
[1:00:08] consisting of milling the top pavement
course and completing some base repairs
[1:00:13] the base repair work will be moisture
conditions so there should not be as
[1:00:17] much of an issue during this process the
street milling process is a dust
[1:00:21] generator so we will work with the
contractor to have a plan in place for
[1:00:24] dealing with the best the equipment stay
tuned within the street right-of-way is
[1:00:28] unsightly but allowable per the
contractual agreement with the
[1:00:32] contractor we do realize this project is
a major disruption of the property
[1:00:35] owners but these things are necessary to
upgrade the existing infrastructure and
[1:00:40] streets utility and roadway construction
projects are messy and burdensome to
[1:00:45] those in close proximity we do
appreciate the feedback and it should
[1:00:49] only serve to improve the ongoing
construction practices moving forward
[1:00:53] well we may not be able to fully resolve
all complaints or concerns we will
[1:00:57] certainly work with the contractor to
employ reasonable measures where we can
[1:01:00] jaunty Mooneyham senior project manager
it's wonderful thank you John for
[1:01:07] addressing David's concerns
all right any other comments are from
[1:01:15] citizens all right
[1:01:21] as far as old business goes we have none
going into new business first discussed
[1:01:29] a possible action on a presentation from
Cali kenan galavan pardon
[1:01:43] okay the question is we can switch
agenda item four within the agenda item
[1:01:48] one so that Tom yes and item four is to
say discussed a possible action on Clear
[1:01:54] Channel's request to reduce payments to
Hollywood Park on the Billboard contract
[1:01:58] and I know what we received the kind
[1:02:21] effort was to address their concerns and
[1:02:35] regarding comments on that would you
like to speak Tom ran for Clear Channel
[1:02:40] please come forward
if someone give me a microphone is there
[1:02:46] on that chair in the first chair right
there thank you Tom just your name in
[1:02:53] here your company please Tom Lanford
[1:02:59] it's not working
[1:03:13] thank you everyone
Tom land for Clear Channel outdoor I
[1:03:19] sent the mayor a email last week and
thanks for having me here inviting me
[1:03:25] here mayor as I explained in that you
know advertising is extremely sensitive
[1:03:34] to economic conditions in this case
coupled with the downturn in traffic
[1:03:41] it's extraordinary for us we're you know
scratching for savings and we've created
[1:03:49] you know five tenants to to get us
through this time those been cutting
[1:03:56] capital spending discretionary spending
we've done furloughs and salary
[1:04:02] reductions the fifth one we're asking
all of our less source for voluntary
[1:04:07] reductions this is just a voluntary
request but our least expenses our
[1:04:13] largest expense on our portfolio and the
reason for that so in that email I put
[1:04:18] together a list of the contracts we have
with Hollywood Park and three of those
[1:04:25] have already been paid that through out
for the year in advance one of those has
[1:04:29] and I built my request off of 10% of
that this year's annual contract value
[1:04:35] which is a total of twenty five thousand
six hundred which is a reduction that
[1:04:40] I'm requesting help with and to be able
to deduct that from the next payment on
[1:04:45] this contract that hasn't been paid so
far this year which is the 1604 void
[1:04:51] drive location that total twenty five
thousand six hundred is at point three
[1:04:58] nine percent of the entire total license
value of all contracts combined combined
[1:05:04] over the term
[Music]
[1:05:08] so in short that's why I'm here today
and with all of our messages as well and
[1:05:16] asking your help on that I appreciate
your coming and sharing that with us I
[1:05:27] know you've been an honorable vendor and
merchants and I know lots of residents
[1:05:37] and people out there in the country have
been seeking forms of help from their
[1:05:42] the people that they owe money to and I
know with car payments in particular a
[1:05:48] lot of them are doing extensions whereby
they can move a payment
[1:05:53] let's do now to the end of their note
and just pay the interest portion or
[1:05:57] things like that and so I thought I
thought while well it might be less
[1:06:05] receptive to council to do a discounted
issue I thought they might be more
[1:06:11] receptive to something where it deferred
money now to a later part of the
[1:06:16] contract where after the I think it's
three percent every five years that the
[1:06:21] contract escalates if it was moved to a
later part of the contract we would
[1:06:27] recoup that same money plus the what's
the increase at a later time when
[1:06:34] hopefully the economy will have
recovered but down I'm opening this to
[1:06:39] the council for discussion and that was
my thought on it and appreciate you
[1:06:44] coming yes please something that we
would welcome as well the revenues that
[1:06:53] we're losing or not gonna come back
until the economy returns but that
[1:06:58] revenue and that interim is gonna be
lost forever
[1:07:01] obviously our first attempt is for a
deduction but a deferral is welcomed as
[1:07:05] well super-good you know thank you
[1:07:10] questions or comments from counsel
please well no do you feel that if we
[1:07:15] give Clear Channel a discount then that
will cause the other billboard companies
[1:07:20] to come and ask for
discount I mean I'm still gonna call it
[1:07:25] Burkett I don't know who he sold to but
right now Burkett's advertising I love
[1:07:31] it every time I Drive down 1604 and I
see all of our restaurants and stuff
[1:07:34] being listed so it would be out front
media now but it's not I would not look
[1:07:40] at it as a discount as much of a
deferment because we'll actually get
[1:07:44] more money down the road when you add
it'll be 15% higher than the amount
[1:07:51] we're deferring at that time if it's
moved to the tail end of the note but
[1:07:56] yeah that's another topic subject for
discussion based on what they had paid
[1:08:03] and what they owe sure I'm not inclined
to reduce or defer this is when we need
[1:08:11] it more than ever we already know that
our sales tax is plenitude and I mean
[1:08:16] the only reason I voted for signs was
for the money and you know insurance
[1:08:22] policy it's an insurance policy your
terms like this and you know if we do it
[1:08:26] for you we have to do it for Burkett and
I mean this is when we need the money
[1:08:30] we're already like I said we're already
gonna be down our revenue is already
[1:08:33] gonna be down and so I am not inclined
to make any adjustment I also think of
[1:08:41] of the people that were clamoring at us
not to vote for signs and we voted
[1:08:49] against them because we thought that
this would be a way to guarantee a
[1:08:53] certain amount of money that comes into
the city sure thing you know and I
[1:08:57] understand I'm furloughed I have not you
know I've been out of work since March
[1:09:01] 19 okay but this is something that I
don't think we can give up okay so
[1:09:07] that's my opinion
I agree I agree but I I think if you if
[1:09:16] you defer it you're still getting your
money you're just getting into any
[1:09:20] further down the road so I'm I would be
somewhat in favor of a deferment if that
[1:09:25] was the case I mean if it was push come
to shove I would I wouldn't be in favor
[1:09:27] of a reduction anybody what is the next
thing down the road
[1:09:32] is not a pandemic but something else
happens okay hurricane I think it opened
[1:09:39] up the door to other opportunities to
come back and say hey Hollywood Park can
[1:09:44] you help us out again okay you're
entitled to your opinion you're right
[1:09:51] you don't want to be in a position to
offer help or negotiate down the road
[1:09:57] okay I understood I think the proposal
that you had made to us for the Galleria
[1:10:08] oaks sign structure although the timing
was poor wasn't well laid out well
[1:10:14] planned opportunity that wouldn't have
impacted us really in any way it was as
[1:10:20] far away from all of the homes it was at
the very south most corner but the
[1:10:25] timing was poor and appreciated your
effort to to bring that to us I wanted
[1:10:32] you to have this chance to bring this to
the council and for a decision if any
[1:10:37] would like to to mover yes or no on this
topic which topic but when you just
[1:10:46] brought up about Kelly Oakes
no it's a take channel and they'll take
[1:10:51] action on first general request to
reduce payments we can either offer to I
[1:10:56] would make a motion that we deny the
request to renew statements second all
[1:11:03] those in favor aye
[1:11:07] so I have three in favor of four okay
the motion that motion carries not to do
[1:11:18] it all right sorry thank you number two
now to number one take possible action
[1:11:35] on presentation from Kevin Galvin for
use avoid pool in the fall
[1:11:43] 29:39
I would like to ask do we know how much
[1:11:50] money we've received for the last time
we rented out the pool that has been
[1:11:55] deposited and if we don't
I would like to postpone this until our
[1:12:04] next council meeting we need more
information the important member of this
[1:12:09] I really am but I need to wit more
information okay and I don't know what
[1:12:13] was the total dollar about generated
from the last rental I would tell me I
[1:12:19] don't know I need more information as
well to see if it was possible it was a
[1:12:27] wash it's for the kids basically it's to
get the kids involved in swimming this
[1:12:33] is they take advantage of the fact that
we have an ability to warm the pool for
[1:12:37] more months of the year because he's the
baseline he told me and I I apologize
[1:12:44] for not encouraging him to come and
speak because I was encouraged to think
[1:12:47] that he couldn't but this would be the
minimum that it could be that would be
[1:12:53] based on 20 swimmers per age group he
said he could he was sure he could
[1:12:58] easily generate more than that and he
was just trying to
[1:13:05] he's a year-round swim coach with kids
and I'm pleased that we've been able to
[1:13:10] to include those kids this past year I
think the the net revenue was ended up
[1:13:16] around 17 or 18 thousand dollars
say tell me here's what it is the
[1:13:21] contract was based on 556 I think and a
half hours and it was 31,000 are you
[1:13:28] talking northeast that's different
[1:13:41] Northy city contract if they used all
the hours 550 6.5 it would be thirty
[1:13:47] thousand $51 the extra amount of hours
they used was 271 it was
[1:13:52] fourteen thousand six hundred and
thirty-four dollars now what I looked at
[1:13:56] was the difference during the time
period from October through March in
[1:14:01] seventeen eighteen and nineteen twenty
and then 18 19 which is where they took
[1:14:06] place the difference and the electricity
and heating was $7,600
[1:14:17] so a seven thousand six hundred dollars
more now I also look to see if a Qantas
[1:14:22] contract had a difference because they
had do any kind of extra maintenance or
[1:14:26] the pool the main is to the pool in the
three years he's around eight thousand
[1:14:30] eighty three hundred dollars there was
no extra maintenance done so in reality
[1:14:35] the money that we actually had over here
to defer the cost is seven thousand
[1:14:42] dollars so we got $7,000 which deferred
the cost of part of Aquatica because the
[1:14:49] Kiwanuka was eight thousand now that
eight thousand we would pay with is
[1:14:53] anybody there or not so basically we got
seven thousand dollars above based on
[1:14:57] the fourteen thousand six hundred and
thirty-four dollars that North East Bay
[1:15:01] and balaam pretty close to breaking even
it sounds like we're making seven
[1:15:09] thousand the Monica amount of eight
thousand is going to happen with anybody
[1:15:14] there or not right I'm just saying yeah
it is a quarter cut more if we have
[1:15:19] eighty swimmers in there it was no
different
[1:15:23] it would increase it was no different
[1:15:34] just said it was no different from the
year with them versus the year without
[1:15:39] and the electricity and heating cost an
extra $7,600 correct October through
[1:15:49] March no because you're paying but
they're giving you fourteen thousand
[1:15:57] dollars no he's saying eight thousand
fans know
[1:16:04] the $8,000 is the Aquatica maintenance
there was no increase in maintenance
[1:16:09] because of the swimmers being there it's
just eight thousand dollars and seventy
[1:16:13] eighty eight thousand dollars eighteen
nineteen eight thousand dollars in
[1:16:16] nineteen twenty so that told me and
that's sunk cost for you you're gonna
[1:16:21] pay that where the swimmers there or not
take care of the pool so in reality what
[1:16:26] you did was because the electricity and
the gas only went up $7,600 it paid your
[1:16:32] $14,600 you had seven thousand dollars
and if you look at it you're getting
[1:16:38] here your maintenance for a thousand
dollars so basically what it is is
[1:16:42] aquatic aquatic I didn't raise their
price that's their winter maintenance
[1:16:48] cost yeah oh yeah that's what we're
paying that in America right right but
[1:16:53] my question would be knowing that you're
gonna have additional swimmers in the
[1:16:59] winter is do we need to have a quarter
do we need to have a an increase in
[1:17:05] maintenance it costs didn't increase
from Northwest northeast was there
[1:17:21] because they didn't use it that much
Kevin's proposal is that that's eight
[1:17:29] additional months of usage so they're
saying their chemical costs are gonna go
[1:17:33] up slightly I don't have the numbers in
front of me I do their chemical costs
[1:17:40] are exactly the same as it was the
previous year at sixty four seventy-five
[1:17:44] from May of 2020 through April of 2021
which covers the winter it's the one I
[1:17:51] have no swimmers that's the entire year
where those stores are not ice this
[1:17:56] winter this title is winter maintenance
is what this is called but it just shows
[1:18:01] May through eight he's basing his bid on
knowing that our pool is closed for
[1:18:05] months but it was open I mean that this
past year they they did this contract
[1:18:14] yeah yeah and Jason did not increase the
cost yeah because it was only for three
[1:18:20] months okay yeah same thing
okay good again this is a this is a 12
[1:18:32] month winter maintenance sixty four
seventy-five for the past year the year
[1:18:37] before and the upcoming year so I'm just
looking at when I'm and it says been
[1:18:43] four - okay 75 11 is the bid for winter
maintenance so the lowest he's being
[1:18:50] very conservative on his program he's
trying to present it and sell it to kids
[1:18:55] now to encourage year-round swimming but
with the co bid situation there's no
[1:19:02] there's no way of knowing when people
will be able to or be going back to the
[1:19:07] pools he's expecting the numbers to be
thirty to fifty percent higher but he's
[1:19:13] again being conservative so so I
question is back to what I really said
[1:19:18] we move this to the June meeting because
I believe we need more information and I
[1:19:22] would like to see when we got paid from
northeast Independent School District
[1:19:26] all right
there's 15,000 yeah okay I want to know
[1:19:30] if we the money we made is it in our
bank account okay
[1:19:33] the only thing to is let's wait to June
maybe we'll get more information on when
[1:19:39] we can relax some of these regulations
okay with the pool and things like that
[1:19:42] but I mean I'm in favor at this but I
want more information it won't give him
[1:19:46] much time to sell it but that's his
other challenge but that's fine
[1:19:50] whatever the council degrees on this
fine no I'm I'm not against having it I
[1:19:57] mean I think it's a great program and
all that but it has to be either
[1:20:01] profitable or you can't we can't lose
money and not knowing I mean not knowing
[1:20:06] what the quarter code is gonna come back
if it's gonna if it's going to increase
[1:20:09] I mean no he doesn't know how many
swimmers we're in the black he doesn't
[1:20:15] know how many swimmers he's gonna have
nobody knows that no in fact you just
[1:20:19] said that their plan was for five
hundred hours and they only ended up
[1:20:23] doing 200 hours so yeah and that was in
a good that was it a good year
[1:20:28] was 565 and it's four and a half months
is what it lasts it's five hundred sixty
[1:20:33] five and a half hours is what they what
he said is contract different come on
[1:20:39] all they used them it was 271 right so
if you're going to do that you need to
[1:20:44] make sure that there is a minimum right
or a contract that says what is paid for
[1:20:51] is any kind of thing the city expenses
it bears and so somebody don't use it a
[1:20:56] hundred hours because in that kind place
would be it'd be different because the
[1:21:00] heating of the pool was pretty fixed on
you know no matter how many swimmers you
[1:21:06] have and it was an interesting that you
need to have next time as he understand
[1:21:10] up to 555 right this just says 565 I
actually build them the whole contract
[1:21:15] to begin with because I read the
contract and I said this many hours I
[1:21:18] didn't see where there was a variation
in it you know per hour but then they
[1:21:21] had a calculation that told me about
that then that was in there so you need
[1:21:26] to have a minimum so you get your cost
covered if they use them and in right
[1:21:29] amount of hours that means so how many
months was the 7600 for the electric and
[1:21:37] heating people how many months did that
cover of the day at the same time that
[1:21:41] covers from October through March so for
now for now primarily December through
[1:21:46] February because the Solar Probe is that
correct Kelly
[1:21:50] they'd the solar heated water panels
yeah you know yeah god I had to be
[1:22:08] freezing if you didn't turn it on until
December
[1:22:19] you know I believe that there's
information that's that we need more
[1:22:29] information I like the idea of a
guarantee the area ten eight thousand
[1:22:35] okay and I also like I say I'd like to
know this is the different vendor this
[1:22:43] is nice okay thank you
so you make a motion Kelly last time
[1:22:53] this all came up with northeast she
talked about solar the cover that would
[1:22:57] keep in the warmth and you bring that
information back by the next meeting so
[1:23:02] we can factor that in yes because you
said that would save on the heating
[1:23:07] correct okay but that was before we had
solar panels correct any degree
[1:23:34] difference or something yeah I think I
remember them wanting us to buy these
[1:23:46] solar blankets and then we got a storm
and all that stuff and that totally
[1:23:52] blows the budget out of the water there
was a storage issue also with we would
[1:23:57] yeah roll him up if he wants to buy
solar blankets that's great but he can
[1:24:07] store him and and put him out and take
them up so I make a motion that we move
[1:24:12] this to the June meeting I second all in
favor aye
[1:24:17] motion carries all right discuss to take
possible action on rates and procedures
[1:24:22] for reopening the void poll
[1:24:27] Aurum bashing our objective is to have
an open for next Morel Day weekend and
[1:24:34] be able to start selling passes then
have a restricted access what would you
[1:24:43] call it
Ryan up the 25 percent the 50 percent I
[1:24:47] think what they decided as of last
Friday that keeps the rules keep
[1:24:51] changing is it 50% for the swimming pool
Erin Kelly do you know if it's 25 or 50
[1:24:56] percent as of I listened today and they
did not say it's 25 percent by the hour
[1:25:09] okay our numbers for the pool
[1:25:17] calculations we have 5000 square foot of
water which is 100 people in the water
[1:25:24] 50 percent 50 people can be in the water
and any given time also you have the
[1:25:30] deck area which is 12 roughly 4,500 for
the deck area - the 5000 square foot of
[1:25:38] pool leaves you a 7500 which is 250
people inside on the deck area also so
[1:25:47] 50 percent that's 125 so we could have
125 people inside the deck area and 50
[1:25:55] people in the water so excluding like
fourth of July and these other holidays
[1:26:01] they don't you don't get close to that I
want to propose that we come we do a
[1:26:12] compromise with the swim team I know
that they're not they're not set on what
[1:26:17] they're gonna do the show I think they
want to do something but but I want the
[1:26:23] residents to be able to use the pool
well swim team is practicing when we
[1:26:28] come to a citizen participation in this
Irish let me know because we have quite
[1:26:33] a few people that weighed in on this
topic rez okay
[1:26:36] so that would mean that we would be
opening I would like to propose that we
[1:26:44] open the pool in June at either 9:00 in
the morning or 10:00 in the morning and
[1:26:49] looking at the Aquatica page 35 there's
like a hundred and eighty staff hours
[1:26:57] that we're not going to use this month
because those days already passed and
[1:27:01] they weren't open and that is included
in the price that we were given so if we
[1:27:07] so I'm proposing that we compromise with
the swim team and give them four lines
[1:27:13] to practice in and we have the other two
lanes of the pool open for either lap
[1:27:18] swimmers or other swimmers and then
there have the beach access part of the
[1:27:25] pool and the baby pool and let residents
use that while the swim team is
[1:27:31] practicing what time is the pool open
now twelve during June right now it's
[1:27:36] set to open at twelve because the swim
team had it in the morning
[1:27:40] so are you also what is your proposal
for the the two weekends before June as
[1:27:49] they're on the as they are on they're on
a schedule
[1:27:52] they were asking me last week you say
ten o'clock did you say ten o'clock I
[1:27:59] told them that we're gonna do the pool
from 10 o'clock yeah - so you know I
[1:28:04] actually hadn't even those last days in
Maine that you allow the swim team and
[1:28:08] residents than you you are going to push
that in the morning I'll have to decide
[1:28:14] my suggestion would be you give the swim
team a specific number of people they or
[1:28:24] if they if they commit to it if there is
going to be I mean we know one life a
[1:28:30] life girl I mean she's a official okay
at the summer swim leagues and they're
[1:28:35] supposed to be four meets a year plus
you have your you know finals in July we
[1:28:39] know everything's going to be messed up
but there's been a lot of cancellations
[1:28:42] and all right other teams are not going
to be swimming this year so we don't
[1:28:47] really know if they have
confirmed swim events yet right and I've
[1:28:53] been told that they're not going to do
the competitions too so I do believe in
[1:28:57] this but I would like to look at these
hours that we have gone and passed
[1:29:01] already and use them not only for swim
team but maybe use some of these hours
[1:29:06] to extend the nighttime use of the pool
for residents adult who I mean instead
[1:29:13] of closing it like you know nine o'clock
maybe we close at 10 o'clock and use
[1:29:17] those hours to extend it and I'm sorry
these college kids might not be able to
[1:29:22] get out earlier than they might want to
but let's use the hours and extend the
[1:29:26] hours of the pool for the adult
residence okay if they want to do
[1:29:30] something without kids hopping around is
there a limit on aquatic whose lifeguard
[1:29:36] as far as like what time they I mean is
that in their contract to say you know
[1:29:40] we don't work past 8 o'clock or you know
whatever we're working on the details of
[1:29:45] the contract as we speak but I think we
have a lot of people at home then are
[1:29:49] not at their normal work and they're not
doing their normal thing and if we can
[1:29:53] help residents to embrace that I think
it's a good value for I mean I'm in
[1:29:59] favor of maybe even you know noon right
now but maybe open it at 11:00 or 10:30
[1:30:06] or something and then and and let it be
open longer and until the swim team a
[1:30:11] look
you can have your practice but you got
[1:30:13] to be out of there by 10:30 or 11:00
instead of instead of mingling the the
[1:30:18] residents with his finding because
you're gonna run into issues I guarantee
[1:30:21] it
with with maximum and people that are
[1:30:24] buying their passes you even come up and
be turned away because okay we've got
[1:30:28] committee people in the pool well we
would have to we would have to have a
[1:30:31] designated member I mean they'd have to
share it we haven't have a designated
[1:30:34] number for the swim team and I don't
have to share it if you can do it just
[1:30:39] the time weren't worth it where the swim
team is out in whether or not they have
[1:30:46] been get in there before noon oh don't
you hear complaint okay they want to
[1:30:51] give them an hour you know we give them
an hour and a half or something like
[1:30:55] that are complaining that they're coming
with they've got two kids that are on
[1:31:02] the
Lim team they got a toddler that's not
[1:31:04] and they want to be able to get the
toddler inland and play in the baby pool
[1:31:08] while there were other kids are
practicing right now it's swim team only
[1:31:15] and I understand that's because if we
have anybody that's not swim team in the
[1:31:21] pool we have to pay for lifeguards
saying I like I like Scott's idea where
[1:31:27] the swim team I'm just throwing these
times out is from 7:00 in the morning
[1:31:32] till 9:00 in the morning and then that
gives the lifeguards time to clean or do
[1:31:37] whatever this virus is causing everyone
to do and then at 10 o'clock the pool
[1:31:42] opens already 11 o'clock the pool opens
but I think the swim team should have it
[1:31:46] by themselves but not at the cost of the
residents I think the resident should be
[1:31:51] able to come in earlier and enjoy the
pool if they come in by 10:00 or 10:30
[1:31:56] that's a that's an extra two hours that
they're getting and again when you run
[1:32:00] into the issue of maximum occupancy and
that's probably going to change you know
[1:32:05] it's not going to go up again we don't
know that like the problem is if you
[1:32:09] have residents that are buying their
season pass and they get turned away who
[1:32:15] makes that decision I mean if I'm if I'm
a paying resident and I get it get up
[1:32:20] there and there's a swim team and
there's all these residents and there's
[1:32:22] and there's a waiting list to ten people
to get in the pool and I've already paid
[1:32:26] for my pass I'm gonna be pretty ticked
off I'd like I would I would like to get
[1:32:36] it open at least by ten for four for the
general public yes you know I'd like to
[1:32:42] take these extra hours that we have here
that were that's part of this contract
[1:32:46] and like I said maybe it's Friday and
Saturday that they stay open an extra
[1:32:52] hour later to eat up some of these hours
and we do I think we did that last
[1:32:56] summer there Friday and Saturday we
stayed open till till 9:00 yeah I mean
[1:33:01] this I don't have a date but at 8:45 the
whistles blowing okay and if you're
[1:33:05] sitting there having a great time I
would like to you know you're out there
[1:33:10] at 10 o'clock all right
and maybe it's adult time or something I
[1:33:14] don't know but let's
the hours and I think we I think we just
[1:33:17] stretched the time the opening time from
say 10:00 and 10:30 in the morning till
[1:33:21] 10 o'clock at night
I mean 9:30 if we do okay so if you look
[1:33:26] at the gym calendar if this is what I
added was was theoretically if we were
[1:33:33] opening at 9:00 okay and it would add
192 man-hours so if you push it to 10
[1:33:42] instead of 9:00 and just push it an hour
out later we're not we're only paying a
[1:33:48] couple hundred dollars more because
we're saving 180 man-hours in May
[1:33:52] already so you know for the price it's
already built in to what we've been
[1:33:59] quote I'm not worried so much about the
prices and it is about the conflict
[1:34:04] you're going to have with having swim
team and residents now you know chances
[1:34:08] are you're not gonna have a million
residents out there but you don't never
[1:34:11] know I mean and we again we don't know
what's gonna happen as far as the
[1:34:14] numbers go and it's such a big area I
just I don't I just feel like it's big
[1:34:19] enough to share I just feel like there's
got to be some compromise and and right
[1:34:23] now it's the residents who who are not
on the swim team
[1:34:26] who are missing out and no but if we
open at 10 o'clock that's that's two
[1:34:31] extra hours that they get right right
that's fine I'm good with that
[1:34:35] but then that means that swim team would
have to be either 8 o'clock in the water
[1:34:40] you know I mean you know my wife was a
swim coach for Sommerfeld and it was you
[1:34:45] know we had early practices 7 o'clock
you know he's on the swim team she's in
[1:34:52] the water at 7 o'clock right and so you
get out and then the residents have it
[1:34:56] at 10 o'clock you know well I would take
lifeguards I don't think so that does
[1:35:00] not cost us anything right yeah there's
no lifeguards for when there's swim
[1:35:04] teams there would be if you shared if
you share that's right that's exactly
[1:35:09] right right so if you share it then you
could have lifeguards there from 7:00 in
[1:35:14] the morning whatever time you want to
open til you know
[1:35:17] complicates your toddler with the kids
example I mean there's always a way of
[1:35:26] these things I apologize Kelly you're
right tell me okay okay so do we agree
[1:35:34] that that we can open the pool at 10 in
the morning for the general public and I
[1:35:39] would like Friday and Saturday 10
o'clock at night close and they can blow
[1:35:43] the whistle at court 9:45 you know and I
was okay with that you think we're gonna
[1:35:49] have to fight whatever I got one other
question what are y'all you see
[1:35:59] hypothetically Nanuk 160 people show up
to those women at 10 o'clock 8 o'clock
[1:36:05] as of right now with the current
conditions that were in we expected to
[1:36:19] change every 10 days I think I think
what are you asking it what do you think
[1:36:24] Ryan will that continue to change evolve
every the next phase was in about 10
[1:36:31] days with the 28th or 26 follow that
[1:37:13] you have you know you're right they have
four stores in each lane at one time
[1:37:56] racing that would be 24 swimmers and
then they have to get out of the pool
[1:38:02] and then another four sets of swimmers
go in so it's really unlikely that they
[1:38:06] would exceed the capacity limit if they
used all the lanes at one time so I've
[1:38:12] never seen that many I mean at any given
time during when there's swim practices
[1:38:16] yeah or then maybe you know 360 kids
total unless the coaches right but but
[1:38:25] even that that's still not even be Kelly
I hypothetically well they come in when
[1:38:41] it when it opens to residents but who
enforces the that's in the contract yeah
[1:38:52] they're not cleaning or anything else
here yeah that's not
[1:38:57] well don't expect me they said they're
not going to kick people out and I don't
[1:39:00] know him and that shouldn't be the kids
job to do that the mayor that wouldn't
[1:39:33] happen they wouldn't let them in right a
challenge comes from having a group
[1:39:59] allowed on the patio and a group in the
pool because then they give right
[1:40:03] because you get more of that 175 in the
pool then then you have the enforcement
[1:40:09] issue would that seem relevant sad we
said the question is good if you're the
[1:40:17] one who said that okay it would have to
be first
[1:40:39] once we roll if that's the way you're
gonna do it I mean 875 that's what I
[1:40:54] share my son is in Dallas and they just
joined a private pool and they can I
[1:40:59] think they have 40 people that can go in
their pool he did not talk about who can
[1:41:03] stay on deck or whatever but they are
they signed when you get there it's
[1:41:07] first-come first-serve and you swim for
an hour and 45 minutes and they blow the
[1:41:13] whistle you get out and the lifeguards
clean for 15 minutes I don't know
[1:41:17] exactly what they do but they clean for
15 minutes then now if no one's there in
[1:41:23] line to get in at the next to of to our
increment you just go right back in if
[1:41:27] there are 40 people then you don't get
to go back in but he said they've gone a
[1:41:33] few times this week and they've had no
problem they cannot take in they've shut
[1:41:38] down the water fountains so you have to
take in your own water bottles no glass
[1:41:42] they've they set up a lot of different
things like this but so but that's how
[1:41:48] they're doing it is two hours in the
thing but you know I always do the same
[1:41:51] thing just being cool I mean I've been
on there you know on any given Saturday
[1:41:56] and there's been quite a few people but
I really don't see it it might be an
[1:42:00] issue initially because people just want
to get out but I don't think it's gonna
[1:42:05] be a long-term problem but I mean it I
mean it might have to be one of those
[1:42:11] cross that bridge when you get to
because you don't know what's gonna
[1:42:14] happen you may you may get a rush of 500
people down there you may get 20 well I
[1:42:21] don't think you know college age kids or
high school kid lifeguards are there to
[1:42:29] enforce laws it's not their job there
they're dudes obvious to protect the
[1:42:32] people in the water I'm not saying staff
down there this weekend just because
[1:42:36] this is the first weekend we're gonna be
open and I don't want the lifeguards
[1:42:38] getting slammed right so we're gonna
have people there or available to deal
[1:42:43] with any problems but we still need some
guidelines on how y'all want it handled
[1:42:48] well can they when they check them in
can they write a time when they're in
[1:42:52] there and then after if there's people
waiting after two hours they say okay
[1:42:56] you came here two hours ago there's a
couple other things I mean I like the
[1:43:09] lanes idea and a lot of pools do that it
gives a lifeguards a chance to see more
[1:43:14] pools any kind of maintenance you know
okay guys time and what just sit the
[1:43:19] person sit after a couple days people
who used to it okay we gotta leave the
[1:43:23] cool for a few minutes and I need y'all
to work on and come up with a decision
[1:43:35] on we have numerous young children in
the water who can't swim and I've got
[1:43:45] two lifeguards trying to watch these
kids a lot of pools do a requirement
[1:43:54] where you have to prove that you can
swim or you have to stay with this I
[1:43:57] don't know I think that's a question for
Ryan I think that's a good idea most
[1:44:02] pools do they it the little kids they
make them to swim the length of the pool
[1:44:05] and then they get a bracelet and mom and
dad do not have to stand right next to
[1:44:09] them if they can only swim halfway I
think that you should be watching your
[1:44:13] kid no matter what give you the floor
thank you Mary I was gonna make just a
[1:44:22] suggestion that has come up with some of
those discussions that I talked about
[1:44:27] before with other cities some are it
sounds weird but by appointment but you
[1:44:33] basically set up blocks so an hour and a
half block block a block B Block C Block
[1:44:39] D and you call and you sign up and you
come in during your time prayer and when
[1:44:43] your time periods up you leave and you
know ahead of time but you got a call
[1:44:47] and make the reservation at it who do
they call they call City Hall during the
[1:44:51] week well how they would say I mean some
cities have their own like recreation so
[1:44:56] and so the recreation center staff does
[1:45:06] I don't know if you have the ability if
your tech people have the ability to set
[1:45:14] up an online you know registration by
block then you don't actually have to do
[1:45:19] that they set it up themselves and they
know it's the first come first serve
[1:45:23] basis is to have you know which which
area you get it as far as you know I
[1:45:30] think the unless you have a separate
regulation which you guys do not the
[1:45:36] lifeguards have automatic kind of
Authority if they have a concern that
[1:45:41] there's someone who's getting a pool who
cannot swim that they can make them
[1:45:44] prove to the lifeguards that they're
going to swim that's kind of part of
[1:45:47] what the lifeguards do but they have
that ability naturally now whether they
[1:45:50] know that or not is a different question
when they go through their certification
[1:45:57] that's supposed to be part of what
they're taught you know my experience is
[1:46:03] about that the percent of goats in one
air not the other but you get 50 percent
[1:46:07] that remember and so hopefully one of
the tools it's on duty remembers but if
[1:46:14] you want to do that and you by no means
legally required to but you can assign
[1:46:20] staff you know to be down there just for
logistic purposes in managing things
[1:46:25] that part's up for the council that's
part of your policy decisions too are
[1:46:29] you going to open this what's it going
to take from the city to open it and
[1:46:32] open it safely
[1:46:44] that is one of those situations where
depending on exactly what happens will
[1:46:49] depend on liability there are situations
where the city would have us a liability
[1:46:55] aspect but that's that's normal with the
pool period the law already places a
[1:47:14] certain responsibility on them we can't
actually supersede what has already been
[1:47:20] placed on them right isn't correctly
from ruin but if we were to have a
[1:47:26] private swim club and I believe we
talked about this before it is not a
[1:47:30] city function however we would be liable
for it now having a city function like
[1:47:35] open hours the public pool is open it's
a public function by the city of the
[1:47:40] town of Hollywood Park I thought the
liability has decreased immensely it has
[1:47:45] okay if a child accidentally you know as
a governmental function in that capacity
[1:47:55] there are statutory limitations on
damages and that makes it more
[1:48:04] affordable and more realistic for a city
such as hello Park to have a pool and
[1:48:08] let the citizens use it but those kick
in when you are performing it as a city
[1:48:13] and so as a city which that's all the
discussion of it hearing tonight yes
[1:48:19] this is the city's hours for the pool
that you're managing that way what we've
[1:48:24] previously discussed about what those
protections are are in place so can we
[1:48:30] can we make a pool rule I think it's
called the 25:10 rule where if they
[1:48:35] can't swim the 25 meters of the pool
then they have to be within 10 feet of
[1:48:40] their parent okay so how do we do that
just we do it tonight or do we just want
[1:48:46] to make a motion that you want that as
part of the policies your the way your
[1:48:49] system is set up now you don't have like
you didn't see testing and yeah it
[1:48:54] records the information it's just
the city is really Kelly Public Works is
[1:48:58] the one that's ultimately responsible
for logistics out there okay and so he
[1:49:04] would be the one not so that he's doing
it but he delegates exactly how that is
[1:49:07] to be done but he follows your policy
and your guidelines if that's the policy
[1:49:11] you want you just make a motion that
that be the policy out there and you
[1:49:14] vote on it and I mean you know we don't
need to write it down but if you make
[1:49:18] the motion I can bring back some
language that ratifies it next time but
[1:49:22] it would be in place immediate so so
that way if the lifeguard notices this
[1:49:27] kid can't swim and mom is over here then
if she can bring the mom over and say we
[1:49:32] have a rule that the kid has to be able
to swim the length in pool in order for
[1:49:36] you to be away if you knew that that
person was connected to that child yeah
[1:49:40] right okay yeah I think that's important
[1:49:50] don't have to necessarily go take the
test you know but if the I mean if it's
[1:49:55] obvious that the kid is flailing around
and didn't know how to swim and
[1:49:58] shouldn't be in there rule and then then
actually since it's not more specific
[1:50:10] that actually gives Kelly the ability to
be flexible and adjust in implementing
[1:50:15] it and how the lifeguards would
implement it at the same time that would
[1:50:19] take immediate effect it's clearly falls
within the agenda posting so maybe you
[1:50:33] make a motion to impose a 2510 rule at
the pool okay I'm so moved and then
[1:50:43] moved second the motion is that we are
imposing a 25:10 role at the pool in the
[1:50:52] tens of ten days of the beginning that
that's not part of this mode her motion
[1:50:56] is just a little rule multiple motions
[1:51:03] raised and procedures we got you okay so
no in favor you
[1:51:08] I all in favor aye
motion carries yeah the other thing that
[1:51:16] the pool in Dallas had implemented that
it's for members only and I realized if
[1:51:23] like in my family if I bought a
membership for snicks I don't have six
[1:51:28] kids or whatever so yes so I could bring
six people but like before when they've
[1:51:32] had little birthday parties that had
paid for three or four other people to
[1:51:35] come they could not do that in Dallas
pool it's just they could bring six
[1:51:39] people and you're not going to you know
take blood type to see if they're all
[1:51:43] family related or something but that's
something else to look at and in what
[1:51:49] I'm expecting this summer might not
happen at all I'm expecting people not
[1:51:52] to be vacationing so I think maybe our
attendance at the pool will be more I
[1:51:57] could be way off with that I don't know
when people are going to feel safe to
[1:52:00] get on things and everything I agree
with you that that while we're limited
[1:52:05] on on how many we can have in the pool
that we should have them have no guests
[1:52:09] if I could interject I mean I would like
if it's under the limit is under fifty
[1:52:18] percent then we have no guests and once
the the governor raises the numbers and
[1:52:23] we can start law I guess we're sitting
under seventy five percent once it gets
[1:52:27] to hundred percent capacity when you
start doing get something of that nature
[1:52:29] I mean there may mean I'm I am I don't
really go down there very often but I'm
[1:52:34] told my mom's but it's not very crowded
you know there's it's not that it's used
[1:52:38] you know on the big holidays it's
slammed but it's on a typical day you
[1:52:43] know they said even the twenty five
percent capacity was not really a big
[1:52:46] deal a lot of typical day I guess the
only other thing would be is if you just
[1:53:00] have people that are paying for like a
day use as well I mean that's a great
[1:53:06] idea not letting you know bring an
additional guests but I guess anybody at
[1:53:10] that point anybody can come down there
just pay there whatever it is ten bucks
[1:53:13] again right now right
they really don't want to do money so do
[1:53:24] we need to post something that no date
passes I mean I don't know I'm just
[1:53:29] throwing that out there
so do five punch you'll be heard the
[1:53:32] five flex card I think raises the easy
ball but you can't you you how if
[1:53:37] somebody just wants to go for the day
how did they pay residents want to bring
[1:53:40] a guest I sure think it would be how did
they do that last year if you brought a
[1:53:48] gift and they paid and they took the
money Aquatica not are they just not
[1:54:01] comfortable handling the money I'm not
talking about the virus thing I'm just
[1:54:03] talking about it's more the viruses they
don't have a problem handling money it's
[1:54:08] more than the we're trying to protect
our people and give them a little
[1:54:12] additional protection right no I agree
from energy or interacting with right
[1:54:16] right you know everybody knows money is
a dirty thing sure sure we were gloves
[1:54:20] at City NC home so we're taking money
yeah I don't like making these decisions
[1:54:42] don't we just privatize the whole pool
and say and give so what we doing let me
[1:55:01] know when you want to hear from the
resident yeah yeah yeah are you sure
[1:55:05] okay okay just clean Aaron Caldwell
please consider this email my formal
[1:55:11] vote to get the pool open for swim
practice meets in order to facilitate
[1:55:15] increased levels of camaraderie and
community and HB opening the pool for
[1:55:19] swim team practice is the right move I'd
add vaque that the pool be closed to the
[1:55:24] general public
non swim team members during swim
[1:55:27] practice and meets this helps to avoid
unnecessary to
[1:55:30] direction but also increases safety
level levels for all folks in attendance
[1:55:34] the swim team commanded the swimmer had
kept to approve safety levels with the
[1:55:39] general public allowed in that is
impossible to plan for and execute
[1:55:43] cleanly the swim team season will be
adjusted some possible possibly layering
[1:55:48] into July flexibility was scheduling
around these revised season baits will
[1:55:52] be appreciated the moms with younger
kids or non swim team members can hit
[1:55:56] the pool before and after as has always
been the case
[1:56:01] Barbara Schmitz 109 meadow Brooks would
you please submit the following question
[1:56:06] to the City Council will you open the
pool for lap swimmers if yes what days
[1:56:11] what time in the cost Rachael Ray one
one for tall oak I would like to express
[1:56:18] my desire for the HP swim team to be
able to practice this summer I would
[1:56:23] prefer not I would prefer not to
practice not while the public as access
[1:56:27] should we consider early or late entry
into the pool before and after public
[1:56:32] hours the evening time always seems to
be empty at the pool
[1:56:36] so maybe shutting pull down early to
accommodate the swim team would be a
[1:56:40] thought Clayton full spool halts I'm
sorry no Madras I'm writing to please
[1:56:47] encourage the consideration of allowing
Hollywood Park to operate an abbreviated
[1:56:51] swim season with full access to the pool
during times to practice I understand
[1:56:55] you all are looking at restricting
occupancy I would understand limits to
[1:56:59] crowds and even preventive measures
throughout the summer I do however do
[1:57:03] not believe allowing the general public
to use the pool while swim practice goes
[1:57:07] on that works well for anyone please
consider the voices of parents who
[1:57:10] desire for their kids to resume some
sense of normalcy our kids very much
[1:57:15] benefit in the summer competition and
the fellowship swim team provides I am
[1:57:20] the former swimmer for HP myself and we
love supporting the Hollywood Park
[1:57:24] hammerhead
meredith schwartz 106 Canyon Creek I'm
[1:57:29] thankful to see pull discussions on the
agenda tonight as we are excited to
[1:57:33] start using the pool again I know there
are many factors that come into play to
[1:57:36] make this happen especially at a time
like this also I am not sure the status
[1:57:40] of the swim team this year but I guess
it most likely won't be happening in
[1:57:44] this season due to how late it already
is I'd like to suggest a pool opening
[1:57:48] for residents at 9:00 a.m. during them
of the dream I'd also like to push the
[1:57:52] dista be something that continues in
future years I think all residents
[1:57:55] should be able to use the pool in the
mornings during the month of June even
[1:57:58] when the swim team is practicing as a
mom of a young child I would like to be
[1:58:03] able to take my kids to the baby pool or
Beach area entry play during the early
[1:58:07] hours of the day before it gets too hot
we have a beautiful facility that has
[1:58:11] plenty of space and I wish all residents
could use it more during the month of
[1:58:15] June Mary and Dan spoon halls my husband
and I feel that the swim team should
[1:58:20] have their practice time in the pool
like before with no other swimmers
[1:58:23] present we take our grandchildren to the
pool every day during the previous
[1:58:27] summers and there were they were never
anywhere near close to 35 people there
[1:58:32] please pass my comments on to the City
Council Timothy Peters and Sarah Peters
[1:58:40] at 352 Fleetwood this is a long one my
wife my wife and I would County ask for
[1:58:47] you to consider open in the pool
community the community pool as soon as
[1:58:51] possible to the maximum extent possible
as well as facilitating summer swim Lake
[1:58:55] to the full extent possible we are
prepared to self-govern our usage of the
[1:58:59] facility through common sense practical
steps such as checking temperatures not
[1:59:03] going to the pool with any suspicious
symptoms refraining from inviting our
[1:59:06] elderly parents to the pool and
maintaining reasonable social distance
[1:59:09] we believe residents of Hollywood Park
as a whole to have similar
[1:59:12] self-government mindsets and are
comfortable coming into the community
[1:59:16] with them at the pool the same mindset
holds true for summer swim league we
[1:59:20] believe the majority of families and HB
teams are those who are happy to
[1:59:23] exercise reasonable common-sense
self-governance and consideration for
[1:59:27] others towards that end we are
comfortable coming into the community
[1:59:29] with them at the pool self-governance is
that there were other freedoms and
[1:59:33] liberties that we as Americans and
Texans enjoy its effective exercise
[1:59:37] eliminates the need for any governmental
regulate
[1:59:39] of liberty eg the so called nanny state
conversely irresponsible actions on the
[1:59:46] part of the citizenry can justifiably
invite Swift and even punitive
[1:59:50] regulation based upon our history as a
state animal as a nation premature
[1:59:54] pre-emptive regulation on the basis of
fear and theory versus on the basis of
[1:59:59] facts that erodes the public's trust in
governing authorities towards that end I
[2:00:02] invite to you not to just maintain the
trust of your HP residents but even
[2:00:06] radically increase it go against the
flow of fear driven decision making a
[2:00:10] stick to the fact based decision making
such as mitch daniels of purdue
[2:00:14] university who on april 21st at the
night at the height of paranoia
[2:00:18] announced a fact-based plan to reopen
his university in september i encourage
[2:00:22] you to read this April 21st announcement
or watch the video both flamed with
[2:00:27] facts and devoid of fear governance that
inspires hope in this spirited most
[2:00:32] active versus fear approach to reopening
both the pool as well as moving forward
[2:00:35] with the swim team after the following
draft guidelines for consideration
[2:00:39] reopening enhanced sanitation you click
the lifeguards with the pump or spare or
[2:00:43] spray of deleted bleach water solution
when when they rotate their position
[2:00:48] every 20 minutes having lifeguards off
spray down all the students in the area
[2:00:52] bathrooms correctively when a pool
visitor departs had to spray down the
[2:00:55] seats that were used by the visitor
and/or their family enhance pacing guide
[2:00:59] and guidelines rather than removing
sitting there trying to prescribe
[2:01:02] distancing when you don't know the
likely size of the family visiting in
[2:01:05] any given day instead of put up a clear
sign that asks visitors to exercise
[2:01:09] proper social distancing when choosing a
place to sit 17 under 10 years
[2:01:16] attendants
knock wannabes follow the example of
[2:01:19] Sweden who never closed schools in
Switzerland swimmers over 10 years
[2:01:23] adhere to the governor's guidelines of
attendance and quantities enhanced
[2:01:27] waiver
have parents coaches and volunteers
[2:01:29] signed an advanced waiver that
acknowledges the policies government
[2:01:34] governmental nanny state preemptive
fear-based regulations erodes the public
[2:01:37] trust our family respects the fact that
you have many considerations to balance
[2:01:40] to possibly include opposite viewpoints
my fellow HB citizens we ultimately are
[2:01:45] asking God to direct your hearts to
experience and size decision and set up
[2:01:49] guidelines on the pool and swim team for
the citizens of
[2:01:51] Hollywood Park thank you okay apparently
the lights last one the lights aren't
[2:01:58] working
Taylor sandals some good evening I was a
[2:02:02] reach out to you about the status of
opening the pool for the summer and
[2:02:04] allowing the swim team to practice even
if they don't have me it's please
[2:02:07] consider allowing the team to hope
practices kids need physical activity
[2:02:11] swimming is a lifelong sport and summer
swim league is also a child's only
[2:02:14] exposure to competitive swimming I know
that the current conditions bring
[2:02:18] uncertainty at this present time but
please do not give up hope this is the
[2:02:21] time to increase awareness of the
benefit of summer swim teams brought up
[2:02:25] in our neighborhood if the parent does
not feel comfortable they do not need to
[2:02:28] have their children sign up I'm
confident we can have a safe healthy and
[2:02:31] memorable swim team experience ok what I
heard but most of the parents were they
[2:02:37] wanted their own swim time so I really
like councilman Bailey suggestion I
[2:02:43] don't know if the time needs to be from
7 to 9 o'clock or whatever I do like the
[2:02:50] idea of the pool opening at 10:00 for
the residents and I think that is the
[2:02:54] easiest solution because while the swim
teams there earlier it does not cost the
[2:02:59] Hollywood Park any money for lifeguards
and the swim team would be getting what
[2:03:04] they're wanting the residents will be
getting what they're wanting went there
[2:03:07] waiting to go in the pool earlier and I
like like house thing being open until
[2:03:13] 10 o'clock or something on Friday
Saturday it seems like we could make
[2:03:17] everything get their wish I'm sorry I
closed it 45 9:32 are they supposed to
[2:03:46] clean
[2:03:53] they go through everything so if they go
until 9:30 practice sometimes two and a
[2:04:10] half hours might not even be two and a
half hour practice okay well are maybe
[2:04:14] open eleven no no no no we need it open
at 10:00 okay so 9:30 I mean and if
[2:04:21] people show up a little early they can
wait or or if the same practice goes in
[2:04:25] a couple minutes long I mean if it's
practice over early they can sue their
[2:04:29] cleaning early let's see I wanna say say
I learned to show up at 10:00 right so
[2:04:37] we're open at 10:00 for the residents
yes and I've heard it for a lot of
[2:04:41] residents complain that why is it the
swim team gets the pool all this time
[2:04:47] and then now they're talking about going
into July so it seems like we're given
[2:04:52] the swim team their opportunity by their
self I don't know what you can get done
[2:04:56] in two or two-and-a-half hours I've
never been a swimmer it gives the
[2:05:00] residents their time to get to go early
gives the adults time to stay later on
[2:05:05] the weekend a competition but still I
guess the rule is still the same because
[2:05:13] they have like a Saturday yeah but it
depends how many kids are in the it's
[2:05:23] only in the month of June also so yeah
this probably won't even happen if they
[2:05:27] don't
[2:05:33] while the pool is open competitive
sporting events are not necessarily open
[2:05:38] it depends on kind of what which one it
is and how it would it qualifies for and
[2:05:42] that sort of stuff so again I want to
make sure that whatever Janus has for
[2:05:49] the minutes so that Kelly has his clear
instructions what time do you want the
[2:05:56] pool to close
other than Friday and Saturday night so
[2:06:04] from what I heard and you guys tell me
if this is what your you want to do for
[2:06:09] a motion is that the pool would be open
from 7:00 to 9:30 for the swim team it
[2:06:16] was open at 10:00 o'clock for residents
and ends at 8:00 o'clock
[2:06:20] basically Sunday through Thursday and
then on Friday and Saturday nights the
[2:06:25] eight o'clock end date is extended to 10
well it's already at nine o'clock okay I
[2:06:31] mean right I'd like to see because he
might not turn out that but I also think
[2:06:37] that you can the 10 o'clock but oh okay
but I also think that H the Community
[2:06:45] Association might want to do something
and they could use that pool when the
[2:06:49] lifeguards are there okay later on that
and that evening that later part words
[2:06:54] people have gone home for dinner and
stuff and evening swim sure you set the
[2:06:59] times of when it's open and whatever
people want to schedule during that time
[2:07:02] they schedule during that time for June
and July and weekends in August that
[2:07:16] we're open until 10:00 okay
right well I think I mean this is
[2:07:23] technically a temporary measure at the
moment so you make the motion and then
[2:07:26] you're going to come back to it as
things change it is quite a code doesn't
[2:07:30] have a problem with us changing this
again okay I didn't I got that Kelly
[2:07:34] about that their needs they put their
schedule about two weeks in advance so
[2:07:43] there are no other employees
they get their schedule straight now so
[2:07:47] they that's why I've already made my
digital for the end up to the end of the
[2:07:51] month because they needed some answers I
think if we come back in June and we had
[2:07:56] to do all had to do an adjustment
Aquatica will adjust accordingly
[2:08:01] I mean they've always been more willing
to accommodate work with us so what kind
[2:08:06] of adjustments are we talking about them
the x hours well why would we change the
[2:08:12] x why would they be set for the whole
summer
[2:08:22] well yeah I mean I wouldn't want us to
change our time but I'd like us to when
[2:08:27] it gets where more people can go and
change that and I don't think that would
[2:08:30] that affect Aquatica Kelly you know if
we went from 50% to 100% really
[2:08:51] difficult time getting Red Cross
certified the Red Cross is not doing
[2:08:57] certifications right now so they're
utilizing all the lifeguards that
[2:09:03] certifications for from last year but
those are 12-month certifications so
[2:09:07] they're going to start coming up so
there might be some times where they're
[2:09:10] going to run where they have to run with
two lifeguards on the stand and one
[2:09:16] staff member manning the gate who's not
a lifeguard if that happens then they're
[2:09:22] gonna happen it's in the letter that
I've put in the packet for you all if
[2:09:27] that happens they're gonna have to shut
the pull down every 45 minutes to give
[2:09:31] their lifeguards a chance to be off the
stands for a break that means they'll
[2:09:35] have to blow the whistle everybody's out
of the water for 15 minutes okay I just
[2:09:40] want all aware that that's there and
it's in there is their plan B they're
[2:09:45] very concerned that that could happen if
Red Cross doesn't start doing
[2:09:49] certifications again
[2:10:18] okay let me throw one more wrinkle in
what if what if that's not enough time
[2:10:24] for the swim team could I mean could we
say if the swim team needs more time
[2:10:28] that's fine but they move over to the
four lanes and people are coming in at
[2:10:33] ten I don't think so you don't think so
I mean you always want more time what
[2:10:38] about the swim team starting at six
that's fine it didn't cost us Cherie
[2:10:43] you're watching this times before does
anybody know okay
[2:11:05] I started seven or eight rules to
seventeen-year-old so I mean I think
[2:11:28] everybody's having to make
[2:11:31] considerations and I don't think
[2:11:51] that as I proposed the the 7:00 to 9:30
with the qualification that you give
[2:11:58] Kelly the discretion to open it up
earlier as may be needed for the swim
[2:12:04] team and then it's only limited the swim
team he has the ability to adjust to the
[2:12:08] situation as it goes on but they know
for certain it's going to be 7:00 to
[2:12:13] 9:30 and you think that's enough time
for them and if they need to know
[2:12:22] there's times also when you're going to
have multiple age groups swimming in the
[2:12:27] pool at the same time using this these
two lanes these two lanes you have for
[2:12:44] 30 minutes whatever and then what did
you say that anytime was Ryan during the
[2:12:49] week 8 o'clock 9 o'clock I think right
now it's at 8 o'clock 8 o'clock during
[2:12:54] the week but that jumps that's currently
right now but it's quickly for him but
[2:13:00] that normally would jump up anyway to 9
I think in June okay okay
[2:13:19] during the week during the week it's
going to be so that is my recommended
[2:13:29] emotion if someone wants to I try to
make that I'll just say so moved
[2:13:35] second all in favor please
so I i motion carries thank you pricing
[2:13:45] one other question did y'all decide
yes swimming not swimming yes yeah yes
[2:14:07] for the first 30 days then again
everybody has to adjust so that's gonna
[2:14:11] be no I started selling pool passes no
but I will tell you we have had an
[2:14:19] influx of calls for the past month same
price same price yes you know cuz we're
[2:14:39] opening it more it's long been longer
it's open an hour two hours extra in the
[2:14:44] morning all of June and an hour later
for however me weekends that is and City
[2:14:50] Hall is open tomorrow and we started
selling pool passes to Merril residents
[2:14:55] when we just approved the hours we
didn't improve the contract yet correct
[2:15:00] for aquatic way to talk about that yeah
okay I just well looking at the
[2:15:11] extending it you know
[2:15:58] well the contract isn't up for
reconsideration tonight right so the
[2:16:03] contract is the contract and we're
operating under the contract right I
[2:16:07] just saw in here and I don't know if you
put that in your Kelly or why it's in
[2:16:12] here as far as them extending it to 2023
yep raising the prices that's what I was
[2:16:19] coming until their contract is up right
hard do they are they saying you need to
[2:16:31] make a decision now yeah there isn't a
deadline in the paperwork that's here
[2:16:44] there isn't no there's not okay perfect
didn't think so I'm not opposed to
[2:16:53] extending it if it's gonna save us money
or the rates go up
[2:16:57] okay so there's still the last week we
would question on what happens when 400
[2:17:05] people show up on this weekend on
Memorial weekend to the pool what do we
[2:17:09] do that's why I'm having my staff there
to help support these people there's a
[2:17:20] new sheriff in town we decide that they
would swim for like two hours or hour
[2:17:26] and 45 minutes and give the lifeguard a
break I think and then the new boot goes
[2:17:30] in did we
[2:18:11] right they could be with the honor
system got my back I don't have a
[2:18:19] problem with those of you who know that
they've been here for a couple hours
[2:18:24] allow others to swim I think I think
you'll find a respectful ask a question
[2:18:34] of Kelly I want asked it so you said
that we're going to get billed life will
[2:18:39] have done lifeless hours even though
[2:18:49] we're going to build for the based upon
the contract yeah does 2967 or whatever
[2:19:04] it is okay the contract says 2967 which
is fine they have these ones here now
[2:19:18] from what you said earlier I thought she
said the route that we're gonna get a
[2:19:20] bill in May for the lifeguards that you
know with the work whatever hours were
[2:19:24] on here's what we're going to get a bill
for mr. Bailey
[2:19:37] councilman barely had a good idea if you
want to do your wording wherever you
[2:19:40] want to about who's allowed in the pool
whatever if you'll give it to me I'll
[2:19:43] blast it out to the residents so weekend
before yeah don't call me on the moral
[2:19:50] day I ain't going out there I'm afraid
so will the pull the open door Warfel
[2:19:54] yeah will be open on Friday no we're not
opening till Saturday Saturday okay I
[2:19:59] can't get lifeguards until Saturday so
we're gonna be open Saturday Sunday and
[2:20:03] Monday
even though normally closed on Monday
[2:20:07] that's the holiday and number three was
back possible action on considering
[2:20:24] mayor's movie night events this summer
and fall and we haven't had them this
[2:20:30] year to date to kind of my goal was to
either save that money or not use that
[2:20:36] money but until we had a better handle
on this ghovat 19 issue I think people
[2:20:44] would appreciate an opportunity to see a
movie with their families and I think
[2:20:49] I've noticed in some city parks around
the country that the park management is
[2:20:55] drawing like chalk circles and that the
people can stay within to keep them
[2:21:00] separated from others but I didn't know
if you thought you know it's about
[2:21:04] $1,100 is our cost for the rights to a
first run recent film that people here
[2:21:14] can watch and if you were interested in
trying to offer this to residents then I
[2:21:20] thought we should consider it either as
it was something that they could watch
[2:21:23] in Triangle Park or they could drive up
in cars and see in a parking lot say it
[2:21:28] void center or something but it didn't
know if there's any interest in trying
[2:21:33] to extend this kind of an offer to our
residents this summer pay for that yeah
[2:21:39] they do yeah so it really wouldn't cost
the city well there's a great idea just
[2:21:53] kind of separate people if we have still
in that set of a mode if I think that's
[2:22:00] a good idea I think you know I don't
think is gonna be the answer
[2:22:05] let people how do we do it yeah you
figure out what 25 percent of the
[2:22:14] capacity of Triangle Park is and then
yeah alright but we'll move forward and
[2:22:27] trying to do that and and Janice I'll
work with you guys on movie selections
[2:22:31] and food trucks with anything just make
them yeah we've had food trucks come but
[2:22:45] there hasn't been a steady or of heavy
enough use to for them but they might
[2:22:51] they might be anxious for an opportunity
to have some people to serve Oh
[2:22:58] since this okay that's new no potatoes
[2:23:10] okay gotcha all right working with into
provides darlings will move forward on
[2:23:17] that and get the word out they discuss
take possible action on relocating or
[2:23:22] tornado siren to the unused broadcast
tower on Rita model to improve reception
[2:23:27] by residents because it's been a few
years since we've had an opportunity to
[2:23:30] try that that siren out and because it's
stationed at the lowest furthest point
[2:23:37] to the east in our town a lot of people
weren't able to hear it so a couple of
[2:23:43] variables are in play
I think people a lot of people have
[2:23:47] phone apps that will alert them to
tornadoes but there's also an
[2:23:51] opportunity we could move it back to
where we had utilized the broadcast
[2:23:57] tower on the saws property on the
D'Amato and they do have one cities to
[2:24:01] comment on that also man please when
you're ready
[2:24:05] Ben Henderson 213 Canada verily when
recent storms swept across our community
[2:24:10] and the tornado alert was sounded I
happened to be outside with my wife and
[2:24:14] one of us heard the siren but the other
did not
[2:24:16] the sound is faint when considering the
proposal
[2:24:19] to relocate the siren police also give
consideration to utilizing new
[2:24:23] technology such as a weather app or text
alert apps that would under any
[2:24:27] cellphone user of an impending emergency
citizens have these X now for Amber
[2:24:32] Alerts and silver alerts and they
function very well tornado sirens are
[2:24:36] somewhat a relic of the past they
primarily alert individuals who are near
[2:24:41] the siren or outdoors at some distance
from the siren but are not useful for
[2:24:44] persons who the further away and happen
to be endorsed or persons who forget to
[2:24:49] wear their hearing aids like my wife
didn't that name an electronic alert to
[2:24:52] mobile phones and we all have one now
might be a more productive tool to warn
[2:24:56] citizens of danger and could even
display a text message of the type of
[2:25:00] danger that is approaching thank you
respectfully submitted Ben Henderson oh
[2:25:08] I like it too that's how I found out
about it I have a app the weather app in
[2:25:13] it you can you know get people to use
that or whatever we can do in Holland
[2:25:21] Park but a tornado siren no bees to have
it be used to that tower was there even
[2:25:40] though it was property we had ceded to
the time bear met and then two saws was
[2:25:48] for our use for the former fire chief
police chief that property had the radio
[2:25:56] tower yes channel 2 for the police
department that's how they so if we
[2:26:00] talked a sauce is supposedly going to
cede that property to us at some point
[2:26:12] but it was just an idea that's the
highest geographic point in the town
[2:26:16] right so I thought it would be a way to
use the siren and make better use of it
[2:26:21] if it was possible and biggest scout
project different locations of feo
[2:26:26] property
are you even actually looking at them
[2:26:33] but how do we do that though I mean I
know it's it's done by AT&T Verizon
[2:26:39] t-mobile they already do that but that
day last week none of us got notified on
[2:26:44] how many of you here did get a
notification sure did you I didn't so
[2:27:00] you can get it through their weather
apps to alerts my wife does it go off
[2:27:28] even if you have your stand off if you
have the sound turned off on your phone
[2:27:33] like Amber Alert your phone will vibrate
if you have vibrates and it's all
[2:27:40] depending on your settings I'm sorry
probably the at least 50 to 60 years old
[2:27:59] they do have and they do have newer
sirens and that's what I was going to
[2:28:03] show you here let's see yeah I think mr.
Travis used it at the Alamo didn't
[2:28:11] didn't help it was still too late this
is a picture of our actual siren out
[2:28:19] front to see where we go up here this is
a federal signal model 5 yes and I
[2:28:28] cannot find a lot of information on this
siren and implies that there were four
[2:28:33] before it
this will be held there right now there
[2:28:37] were actually four made before it this
is our current civil alert sharing I
[2:28:42] don't know what year was put in I cannot
find any literature on it if I look up
[2:28:47] online there's not a whole lot of
information
[2:28:49] what is tomato was about 3,000 foot
radius for the owner based on decibel I
[2:28:58] did get in contact with gentleman named
Nicholas stutter and he's a director of
[2:29:04] national museum of civil defense and
shirts and he seems to think that it's
[2:29:11] more closer to 2,000 square feet than
3,000 I think we know and actually he's
[2:29:20] going to come visit our station because
he wants to come look at it and we're
[2:29:23] gonna just field trip I'll be meeting
with I'll be meeting with him again
[2:29:27] field so originally this island was put
into alert volunteers firefighters to
[2:29:32] kind of the station if we had a call
that was the original intent of the Sun
[2:29:37] and then we didn't have homes on the
north were cellphones so it was it was
[2:29:44] good for what it was used for at that
time it covered the area where there
[2:29:49] were homes after that it was repurposed
as a tornado warning device the fire
[2:29:56] department got two-way radios and pagers
and when the electronics came into play
[2:30:00] it became a tornado warning device so
what you're looking at here the green
[2:30:08] area is obviously the town of Hollywood
Park that's the area that we would like
[2:30:13] to see covered if we were to do this the
blue one is our existing siren so this
[2:30:20] is based off of my 3,000 foot radius
estimate so it could be a little bit
[2:30:26] smaller but I will say you heard it at
your house correct mayor yes I did so
[2:30:31] you know right at the tip just pass them
right there very mellow
[2:30:35] yep Oh thinking about that was probably
a good guess to make because yeah he was
[2:30:40] able to hear it on Daniella
most of the people who can hear it are
[2:30:44] outside that blue circle so
for all practical purpose that's
[2:30:48] probably pretty accurate for the radius
of our siren right now I was outside my
[2:30:56] house I don't think so
even with my left ear or my right ear
[2:31:06] yeah it works well it works well the
other side - the downhill side it works
[2:31:15] you know
echoes through tunnels so right here
[2:31:23] clear they know straight line Monday to
avoid center and it shows elevation so
[2:31:33] where the red arrow is you can see that
there's a hundred four foot elevation
[2:31:38] increase between where our siren is now
and the void center so not only are you
[2:31:45] dealing with your the ambient noise or
wind direction you're also dealing with
[2:31:52] elevation when trying to get the sound
to carry out through the park probably
[2:32:02] after the tornado calm day you're going
to hear if you're trying to over a hill
[2:32:25] last week that was the path was from
Burnie southeast this way and we were
[2:32:31] right on the southern edge of it but
they did it did flash across the TV
[2:32:35] that's how I found out that we're
actually under a warning I think when
[2:32:45] you called me yeah you know apprehension
Comal Bulverde they said Hollywood Park
[2:32:51] and that's
I decided to go ahead and set off this
[2:32:57] one here the same thing as last slide
except this is between here and boy and
[2:33:01] we're they're still in elevation that
you have to deal with so not only is
[2:33:06] this a turn not good enough to cover our
city if you're dealing with elevation as
[2:33:12] well so this right here is a estimate
that I got from storm sirens back in
[2:33:24] 2007 to February of seventeen was the
last time I said officer and it was the
[2:33:32] same thing we had people on next door oh
I heard it and other people I can't hear
[2:33:36] it why can't I hear it so it seemed like
there were more people well earlier part
[2:33:44] couldn't hear it but everyone across the
highway was like I heard it so I got
[2:33:50] some information presented it to the
mayor at the time and asked him you know
[2:33:55] put on the agenda or get back with me
for more information and I never heard
[2:34:00] back so it kind of died right there so
now that we set it off again three years
[2:34:04] later the same issues have come up again
so we were able to get it on the agenda
[2:34:10] so this are the newer sirens it's a
higher decibel it's omnidirectional
[2:34:18] meaning you're going to hear in all
directions it's it's just got a bigger
[2:34:23] motor more decibels
the range is 5000 foot radius it does
[2:34:29] have battery backups has a magnetic
starter it's just it's an up-to-date
[2:34:34] siren so these I mean it's not that
they're completely outdated they are
[2:34:38] being sold and installed it's just not
the most updated technology I like the
[2:34:45] place where these probably yeah very
popular very popular yeah so this right
[2:34:57] here would be that siren now in your
package
[2:35:01] you have a two different sirens this is
the bigger one the five thousand I
[2:35:06] didn't even put the circle up for the
small one because that's pointless this
[2:35:12] one right here would cover the entire
town of Hollywood Park if we were to put
[2:35:16] it at the water tower site the only
thing we would be lacking would be that
[2:35:22] southeast corner with Taco Cabana as
gallery oaks but if we were to keep our
[2:35:28] current siren we would have the entire
city covered with currents are in place
[2:35:36] they have decoders where they can
actually sync them up when you set them
[2:35:42] off go both go up at the same time that
would be an option to keep keep the
[2:35:48] current one from this light flow and
it's just gonna get worse and worse on
[2:35:55] coverage you know I was impressed Johnny
when I read that that these systems have
[2:35:59] a battery backup that would allow for
like 10 three-minute siren bursts on
[2:36:05] battery power if weather conditions
deteriorated to the point where they
[2:36:11] lost power I don't believe the sign we
have has that capability it does not
[2:36:18] okay so it would have the same power as
that good to know Memorial Park that
[2:36:29] would be the coverage for Memorial Park
so okay we would lose a little bit up in
[2:36:33] the northeast corner we would lose the
void center area and then rich Trail
[2:36:41] memory Trail yeah and it would get more
Hill Country Village but you know
[2:36:49] Memorial Park would be we would
definitely not lose that I mean it would
[2:36:54] it would stay there for sure we wouldn't
have to move it off of the saws property
[2:36:59] if they decide to sell it the city
didn't purchase it's not it's not a
[2:37:03] question of purchase that they were
planning to seed the property to us
[2:37:06] because we had given it to them years
ago and but it takes a City Council vote
[2:37:11] and the saws board vote
and I do not know had not asked them
[2:37:21] this literally started on Thursday needs
to be a quality of life issue of Ryan as
[2:37:27] far as the it was used this this
actually unit that they put in it
[2:37:34] includes a 45-foot telephone pole that
they mount right on the top of the yeah
[2:37:40] we wouldn't even have to use that metal
tell I don't know if they we have an
[2:37:43] hour to be less if it I'm sure it could
yeah
[2:37:56] do we have a 45-foot telephone pole
anywhere they're not 45 foot but I'm not
[2:38:18] saying I wouldn't want to use it all I'm
saying is I don't know if they'll be
[2:38:22] able to mount it on that metal tower you
know sure the pole goes up in the bottom
[2:38:39] down here that's how they mount it so I
don't know if that one's though if that
[2:38:44] would be mountable on that metal I would
have to ask them and that certainly
[2:38:48] might save us some money so according to
Ned global yeah we were the last known
[2:39:00] nowhere in San Antonio
nobody has no one has one and no city of
[2:39:09] yeah yeah no one has when the hill
country and see no park Bulverde nobody
[2:39:26] or a storm shelter that's a possibility
and I think there are services out there
[2:39:31] where you could count it a nap but then
you know yearly you're paying a
[2:39:35] subscription and Department not gonna be
free for you we're safer there
[2:39:50] she's how many people could evacuate to
the tunnels in your opinion okay okay
[2:40:19] this is the one I used in twister I
think you know
[2:40:43] thanks Johnny Thank You Jenny Jenny
thank you I'm proud the way the last
[2:40:55] people I would agree the last community
so you still use the model 5 tornado
[2:41:00] siren Liberty Bell school trips school
trips I think it's very seriously this
[2:41:21] just brought up because there was a
problem with people hearing it another
[2:41:32] one to cover the entire city even if it
has a targeted reach I think it's still
[2:41:45] helpful and if we can enhance its use
without incurring expense I think that
[2:41:50] would that would make sense put it
somewhere higher ok you were showing
[2:42:02] that you showed us a graph that showed
the radius it would reach two-thirds of
[2:42:08] the city if it was in a high point the
one we have the smaller one that 3001 I
[2:42:19] mean okay okay I can't we're not gonna
make the one that we have go okay it's
[2:42:28] not interested in moving it okay two
thirds of it instead of one okay
[2:42:37] since 2017 all right okay item number
six on our agenda I was going to
[2:42:44] postpone because we don't have the
information or the people or the
[2:42:47] structure to embrace the concept of
determining the feasibility of an
[2:42:52] independent produce broker offering
their products to Hollywood Park
[2:42:56] residents there's been a couple
interested but we don't have the details
[2:43:02] and are those logistics from the
perspective merchants so I was going to
[2:43:06] postpone that table that item yeah
exactly
[2:43:12] there's a couple in it that have served
some smaller towns and they'll come in
[2:43:16] they'll go out ahead of time and tell
you what they'll offer you and you can
[2:43:20] go online and place an order they'll
bring it out to you and you can pick it
[2:43:24] up you can also shop and purchase
additional things a lot of empty nesters
[2:43:29] seem to like that and towns like Von
Ormy and Elmendorf and some other places
[2:43:33] where they don't have as much access to
supermarkets and I thought if we have
[2:43:38] the space and there's interest from the
residents it would be a nice thing and
[2:43:42] help some of the local food wholesalers
that are struggling right now and so it
[2:43:48] may may be worthwhile element for next
month
[2:43:51] so I think it would be popular yeah so
I'll pursue that coming up for next
[2:44:00] month okay
when Cherie Tyner has does a farmers
[2:44:03] market - so we would need to talk to her
and see if she'd be interested -
[2:44:07] absolutely absolutely and so it got
eight 840 I'd like to adjourn our
[2:44:15] meeting and thank everyone for coming
and again Oscar I'm glad you came I want
[2:44:20] you to know you to sit anywhere you like
I just want to save you see
