1
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:47,560
Workshop, September 15th, 2026. I'd like to call this meeting door.

2
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,060
Now, if we could please stand for pledging allegiance to

3
00:07:57,190 --> 00:08:07,610
the flag of the United States of America, to the Republic, from which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

4
00:08:12,050 --> 00:08:21,130
City Clerk, please call roll. Good evening. Vice Mayor Vazquez, here, Commissioner Clark. Here. Mr. Szan, here. Commissioner Dickey. Here. Mayor Doctor.

5
00:08:21,130 --> 00:08:21,190
Here.

6
00:08:21,470 --> 00:08:21,610
Here.

7
00:08:21,810 --> 00:08:22,170
Thank you.

8
00:08:23,530 --> 00:08:32,830
And at this point, we have only one discussion item, and it is for a presentation from

9
00:08:32,830 --> 00:08:33,770
Raft Tillis.

10
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,380
Can you all hear me okay?

11
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:41,060
The light wasn't on.

12
00:08:41,140 --> 00:08:42,280
I just want to make sure I can hear myself.

13
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:50,220
So, for the record, my name is Terry Belvery with Raft Talis, and I have a, actually kind of

14
00:08:50,220 --> 00:08:56,920
a lengthy presentation, but only because we're going to be addressing some frequently asked questions that have come up in prior sessions.

15
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:05,960
But before we do that, I was planning to provide everyone an update of the project and where we're at.

16
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:11,320
Okay, so I think I know this is a small font.

17
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:20,240
We've sort of presented this before and shown it, but we began this whole process back in April of this year.

18
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,980
And that was originally the project management and planning phase.

19
00:09:26,780 --> 00:09:29,980
The second phase was from April to July.

20
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:36,160
That's where we were doing review and assessment, identifying strategies, things like that.

21
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:44,100
Right now we find ourselves in the July to September timeframe right in the middle in that third phase, which is the engagement, visioning modeling.

22
00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:48,960
And I'm going to talk a little bit more about that on the next slide about what we've accomplished so far

23
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,060
and where we're at with some of our other core items.

24
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:55,600
But we're getting really close to October.

25
00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:57,840
And in October, we're going to be providing reports

26
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,960
and a lot of the findings associated with...

27
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:29,780
With all the work that we've been doing. And then that will conclude everything once we come back in the October through December timeframe will be just presenting everything to the public so that they aware of everything and all the details and the financial analysis. So there were three core technical components and two core engagement components. The engagement components included high level survey from residents. And then my colleague

28
00:10:29,780 --> 00:10:32,780
Cheryl Trent, who's a project manager for the engagement,

29
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,060
could be here this evening, so I'm staying in her stead this evening,

30
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:39,940
to meet and do some community engagement events,

31
00:10:40,060 --> 00:10:44,540
as well as get input from you all, our governing body,

32
00:10:45,860 --> 00:10:48,820
and incorporate that information to the study.

33
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,880
The three core technical components of this study

34
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,000
was to develop a financial model.

35
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,840
And with me here today virtually is Stephen McDonald,

36
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:04,460
who led the development of the financial model and he can answer more detailed and detailed

37
00:11:04,460 --> 00:11:08,760
than I can about any sort of specific questions anyone may have about that.

38
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,660
So he's available this evening for us.

39
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,600
And some of the questions he may be able to elaborate more on when we get into the FAQ section.

40
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,660
There's also the general fund sustainability model.

41
00:11:20,340 --> 00:11:25,840
And that's something that allows us to assess bigger picture, how does changes to land use

42
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,780
code and redevelopment, maybe more broadly, how that might affect the overall general

43
00:11:30,780 --> 00:11:35,500
fund for the community, but it also provides some additional benefits we can evaluate different

44
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:37,000
sorts of things that you may be thinking.

45
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:43,000
I understand today you're going to be discussing the budget so we can incorporate that kind

46
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,300
of thing into the financial model, the general fund model, and then look at how that's going

47
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:54,240
to play out over the next several years with some of the proposed amendment and other things

48
00:11:54,860 --> 00:12:02,620
that could impact the general fund, and then there's another item, the review of existing codes and regulations.

49
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,480
And I've got a little bit more detail on the next few slides, so I won't explain everything just off of this slide.

50
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:17,140
But all of that was achieved through sort of nine project tasks off to the right, which have already been presented in the past.

51
00:12:17,980 --> 00:12:22,080
So as it relates to sort of the first technical component, the financial model.

52
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:30,760
It's designed to help you identify different zoning regulations on the commercial redevelopment

53
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:37,500
targets, how that's going to change the fundamental financials, and we'll talk about that in

54
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:43,260
a little bit more detail with FAQs, and we're preparing a detailed report with the impact

55
00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:43,980
of each scenario.

56
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:50,780
One of the things that we did was present, based on the highest and best use for the property,

57
00:12:50,780 --> 00:13:00,160
And we got some additional comments from folks, including the public about other types of scenarios that folks would like to explore for some of the redevelopment.

58
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,600
And so we're exploring additional scenarios.

59
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:14,760
And I actually brought a template just to ensure that we're being transparent with not only you all but with members of the public around.

60
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:39,560
And because back in August, my colleague, Steven, who's on the call, had given a presentation and we had demonstrated some of the financial feasibility under some, under a highest and best use case hypothetical for the property where the Thunderbird sits, to sort of demonstrate how it wouldn't really be viable.

61
00:13:39,560 --> 00:14:05,560
and there were a lot of questions from the public and so I think what we wanted to be able to do and one of those things was that we weren't exactly because we weren't willing to share the model that we weren't being transparent and that, you know, we're, you know, things are black boxed and we took that really to heart some of the commentary there and we want to make sure that we're being absolutely transparent with everyone.

62
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:29,540
And so some of the stuff that we'll be releasing in the near future is going to include all the detailed calculations that were relied upon in that presentation presented as well as any additional scenarios that we're going to be looking at that we're going to have all the calculations for those other scenarios and then that way everybody can see for themselves like how we're arriving at the calculations.

63
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:41,420
When can we expect that I think really soon, like in the next two weeks or so, I'm guessing we just need to perform some of the analysis on the other scenarios.

64
00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:58,780
We just got that information this week, but it doesn't take us that long to run the scenarios, but I don't want to like over promise and under deliver so I might want to just have a conversation with Cheryl and then we can get back with city staff and give you a firm, deliverable expectation for that.

65
00:14:58,780 --> 00:14:59,820
I don't know.

66
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,600
I don't know, Stephen, if you wanted to weigh in at all.

67
00:15:05,710 --> 00:15:19,330
No, I think that that's fair, Terry. We're working on them now, and it won't take us that long to complete all the scenarios. So a few week, a couple of weeks is a good guess.

68
00:15:22,010 --> 00:15:25,070
For full transparency, can you elaborate the scenarios?

69
00:15:27,690 --> 00:15:33,550
I wasn't prepared this evening to go into that, but I think, you know,

70
00:15:33,550 --> 00:15:37,010
So is there a way, Steven, you might be able to characterize the range of this in areas

71
00:15:37,010 --> 00:15:37,910
that we're looking at?

72
00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:39,390
Yeah.

73
00:15:39,710 --> 00:15:41,070
First of all, thank you.

74
00:15:41,410 --> 00:15:41,690
Yeah.

75
00:15:42,090 --> 00:15:49,030
I think, though, the best way to respond to that, too, is we want to make sure everybody

76
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:58,310
understands, you know, it's one thing to take our financial model and, frankly, take

77
00:15:58,310 --> 00:16:06,970
math and do simple calculations like density, right? It's easy to take a parcel and calculate

78
00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:12,910
what density can be, but it's a lot different when you have to basically try to design

79
00:16:12,910 --> 00:16:22,050
that density. I mean, there are certain constraints, for example, if you go from surface parking

80
00:16:22,050 --> 00:16:25,930
to structured parking, and again, we had a lot of conversation about structured parking

81
00:16:25,930 --> 00:16:32,890
the last presentation, the notion of structured parking is if I have a footprint, if I'm trying

82
00:16:32,890 --> 00:16:39,950
to maximize my coverage of my footprint, I might design these levels and given industry

83
00:16:39,950 --> 00:16:46,770
standard spacing requirements, you know, I'm going to have 35 spaces per floor, say, for example.

84
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:52,010
Well, that's not always, if you do four floors, that may over-deliver parking.

85
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:54,590
If you do three floors, it's going to under-deliver parking.

86
00:16:55,290 --> 00:17:03,670
The actual design and construction of product doesn't always exactly match things like density.

87
00:17:04,350 --> 00:17:10,230
So as we've reviewed some of these scenarios, I think we want to make sure everybody understands

88
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:15,790
you can't just apply coverage and assume I'm going to be able to design a building to match

89
00:17:15,790 --> 00:17:16,630
exact coverage.

90
00:17:17,230 --> 00:17:20,770
So we're getting back with staff to just refine the scenario.

91
00:17:20,770 --> 00:17:27,910
so I think the best way to describe them would be you clearly have an existing case scenario.

92
00:17:28,830 --> 00:17:33,950
We can design things, we can estimate like we did with that hypothetical development

93
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:39,990
the last time based on current code and of course you go to a book end which might be

94
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:48,090
you know a maximum concept and then there's there's always variations in between but

95
00:17:48,970 --> 00:17:57,930
We just need to make sure everybody's aware that, for example, just because you add five feet to height, it's not going to change anything.

96
00:17:59,430 --> 00:18:07,990
You know, you don't get a floor. You don't get an extra story in the building. Just because you go to 60 to 65 feet doesn't mean you get more development.

97
00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:15,890
So we just want to make sure that we've refined those, but I think the best way to describe is you've got your current state, and there's a potential max.

98
00:18:16,370 --> 00:18:18,010
So there will be some scenarios in between.

99
00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:24,790
But I would say that the main thing is is that we understand that folks want to see more scenarios, and they want to look at it differently.

100
00:18:25,070 --> 00:18:27,990
And what we're trying to do is present those options for everyone.

101
00:18:28,450 --> 00:18:37,290
And we're trying to present like reasonable ones as well that are in between the book ends, but also like what has come up, you know,

102
00:18:37,290 --> 00:18:45,090
from folks from the public, from you all, and you're going to have the scenarios very

103
00:18:45,090 --> 00:18:48,430
soon, and we can take feedback from you about that.

104
00:18:57,170 --> 00:19:05,050
And then the general fund sustainability model, just to update you, we've made our team

105
00:19:05,950 --> 00:19:07,270
has made really great progress.

106
00:19:07,570 --> 00:19:12,830
The model is actually built at this point, but it requires a lot of assumptions, a few more

107
00:19:12,830 --> 00:19:17,230
assumptions to go into it, so we're definitely on track with the general fund model.

108
00:19:17,910 --> 00:19:23,170
It differs from the model that Steven's been running and developing because Steven's

109
00:19:23,170 --> 00:19:29,570
been looking at the finances on a per project basis, like a redevelopment project basis.

110
00:19:29,730 --> 00:19:36,630
The general fund model is more a model of your overall governmental financials and how potentially

111
00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:43,070
actually some of the changes you may be envisioning how that might revolve a result in different

112
00:19:43,070 --> 00:19:47,130
development within the community and is that going to have a material effect or not like

113
00:19:47,130 --> 00:19:49,310
on the general finances for the municipality.

114
00:19:50,090 --> 00:19:53,090
So that's going to be what that tool is going to be for.

115
00:19:54,010 --> 00:19:58,830
Have you all worked with Victor or Chief Financial Officer with that?

116
00:19:59,230 --> 00:19:59,550
Yes sir.

117
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:29,720
Yeah, yeah, we've been, we requested a lot of data from Victor and trial balances, cash balances, all that kind of information to feed it into the model. And generally, when we build these kind of models, we always do our due diligence and historically back test it is a way to sort of characterize that so then that way of confidence and the projections. And then once we have that model developed, then we can run alternative scenarios

118
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:37,000
And again, you know, the benefit of that tool is it's not limited to just this exercise with the commercial redevelopment.

119
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:42,360
You could use it for other analytical purposes as well, you know, should you choose.

120
00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:45,860
But that's not the focus and why we were building it.

121
00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:49,760
We were just trying to be able to demonstrate to the public bigger picture of some of these changes.

122
00:20:49,980 --> 00:20:51,440
Like would it have an effect or not?

123
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,780
And, you know, yeah, more broadly speaking, that was the objective.

124
00:20:58,790 --> 00:21:02,050
The last thing was the review of the existing codes and regulations.

125
00:21:02,730 --> 00:21:12,830
We did, we're doing final QAQC on that, and that should be available next month with the full report.

126
00:21:13,950 --> 00:21:18,090
So that will kind of capstone some of the basis for all the inputs.

127
00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:28,190
I know last time when we did the presentation, there were some concerns about some of the details.

128
00:21:28,190 --> 00:21:30,030
like have we reflected it correctly?

129
00:21:30,450 --> 00:21:35,450
And I think that there are some things that were not material to the findings from the last meeting,

130
00:21:35,610 --> 00:21:38,050
but were not correct like the parking spaces.

131
00:21:38,650 --> 00:21:46,190
And so, Steven's corrected that, we've corrected that, and then we also have the due diligence that we're doing on the code review to make sure that we're not going to miss any of those points.

132
00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:50,510
So that's the third element of the technical component.

133
00:21:53,070 --> 00:21:57,530
The surveys are already been done, we have the responses back.

134
00:21:57,730 --> 00:22:08,030
I wasn't planning to speak to that this evening, really, Cheryl's been keeping that with my colleague Claire Pritchard, who isn't here today to speak to that.

135
00:22:08,430 --> 00:22:11,310
So I wouldn't really want to get into the details of it.

136
00:22:11,390 --> 00:22:18,250
So if I said to say, I know that the results are available, staff's reviewing them, and we're going to have them to you really soon or shortly.

137
00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:26,110
The other one was the community meetings, so Cheryl had those, I think she's got feedback

138
00:22:26,110 --> 00:22:29,930
and she's compiling that, again, all of this stuff is going to be coming back to you in

139
00:22:29,930 --> 00:22:30,390
short order.

140
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:35,310
So today is just a very brief status meeting to let you know, are we on track, not on

141
00:22:35,310 --> 00:22:39,270
track, and then also to spend a little bit more time with you going over the financial

142
00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:41,270
model and some FAQ questions.

143
00:22:44,740 --> 00:22:48,420
This is just a breakdown of all the deliverables from the engagement.

144
00:22:48,420 --> 00:22:54,360
I'm not going to go through each one of these, but it's included in the PowerPoint presentation

145
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:59,800
for folks to look back over if they're wondering about what are some of the things that we're

146
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,500
going to be producing as an output of this exercise.

147
00:23:05,030 --> 00:23:11,010
And this allows us to kind of get into more of the questions that FAQ's about the financial

148
00:23:11,010 --> 00:23:11,350
model.

149
00:23:11,730 --> 00:23:18,190
So Steven was the one that went back and based on the prior meetings kind of compiled a series

150
00:23:18,190 --> 00:23:22,670
of questions and then put some answers, I hope you don't mind some of these, I might

151
00:23:22,670 --> 00:23:27,730
just be like reading from the slide, but I think the benefit is that, you know, we have

152
00:23:27,730 --> 00:23:31,610
Stephen here that can address more detailed follow-up questions, should there be any?

153
00:23:32,350 --> 00:23:37,930
Or if you all have any questions, and hopefully this will be helpful, this could be something

154
00:23:37,930 --> 00:23:43,810
that we can even put on the website to provide more information to the public, and certainly

155
00:23:43,810 --> 00:23:48,130
if there are more questions that we need an answer to, we can work on those as well.

156
00:23:51,030 --> 00:23:53,890
So, what is the main purpose of the financial model?

157
00:23:54,330 --> 00:24:00,010
And it's to illustrate how the changes in development constraints would impact the financial performance of a development option.

158
00:24:00,470 --> 00:24:07,610
Holding all else constant says an economic terminology and we just want to clarify what is holding all else constant really mean.

159
00:24:08,130 --> 00:24:13,690
It's an economic term that applies to measuring a change in one factor can only occur if you keep all other factors constant.

160
00:24:13,690 --> 00:24:18,850
So, it's a way for us to control and then be able to say, like, if we keep everything

161
00:24:18,850 --> 00:24:22,230
else the same, this is the outcome that, you know, we would expect.

162
00:24:22,670 --> 00:24:25,150
So, it's a common way that we do these types of analyses.

163
00:24:27,270 --> 00:24:32,250
Is the financial model considered an industry standard method of financial modeling development?

164
00:24:34,050 --> 00:24:39,870
Yes, it's based on concepts that emerged in the 70s and the standard model for approaching

165
00:24:39,870 --> 00:24:41,830
real estate acquisition development and financing.

166
00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:48,110
And if you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to jump in.

167
00:24:49,330 --> 00:24:52,050
Is the financial model based on highest-invest use?

168
00:24:52,330 --> 00:24:55,990
Yes, assuming there's market demand for a hypothetical development.

169
00:24:56,950 --> 00:24:59,970
One thing I want to mention is that in one of the...

170
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:28,360
The presentation that Stephen gave, he had done some light work on market demand. So he did, you know, the distance, sort of like a ring study distance from, you know, the city and how much do we have of this kind of retail or, you know, like John's passes example has a lot of the retail. You wouldn't replicate John's pass again down here because you have John's pass up there. So there are some of these things that are important.

171
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:37,240
And I think one of the members of the public made a comment when I was in meeting and indicated why haven't we done like a market demand study.

172
00:25:37,460 --> 00:25:42,800
That wasn't the focus of this study, but it would be really valuable to do an evaluation like that.

173
00:25:43,340 --> 00:25:51,240
So we wouldn't say not to do that, but just to kind of better explain highest and best use concept.

174
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,840
But it suggests that a development is legally permissible, physically possible, market

175
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,940
supportable, and provides maximum economic benefit.

176
00:26:00,460 --> 00:26:04,360
Now, why is it that we use the highest-invest use?

177
00:26:04,740 --> 00:26:10,020
Because a development may not work if it's not at that highest-invest use, so we try to

178
00:26:10,020 --> 00:26:10,540
start with that.

179
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:17,140
That's actually why back on the 18th, when Steven did the presentation, he was presenting

180
00:26:17,140 --> 00:26:19,760
a hypothetical highest-invest use for the property.

181
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,640
And it was a little bit different from maybe what was originally proposed.

182
00:26:24,340 --> 00:26:28,940
So I think there was some confusion over what we were actually, what's even was actually

183
00:26:28,940 --> 00:26:32,480
presenting on the 18th with the property.

184
00:26:33,260 --> 00:26:36,940
And so one of the scenarios that we're looking at is actually like what was the original

185
00:26:36,940 --> 00:26:42,200
proposal for the hotel and what would that look like.

186
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,080
So we're actually doing that among other scenarios.

187
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,500
What measure of financial performance does the model provide?

188
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,580
In this case, it's the standard residual land value model, and

189
00:26:57,580 --> 00:27:02,060
it indicates how much is available to pay for land considering the market value of development,

190
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:08,340
subtracting all these other costs that are enumerated, you know, construction costs, soft costs overhead,

191
00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:14,080
marketing and sales costs, any carry costs, tax, and normal profit margin.

192
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:21,300
So, that's basically what goes into the analysis and how we're able to, you know, so that's the whole approach of the model that Stevens developed.

193
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:36,300
Does the financial model measure IRR know the financial models intended to indicate how locally imposed legal constraints, land use and zoning and physical property constraints would likely limit certain types and intensity development?

194
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:44,000
So it is a development, financial model, not an operating financial model, and that's why I just want to make sure everybody's okay with that.

195
00:27:49,860 --> 00:27:55,600
Does the financial model indicate if there is a market demand for specific type of development, I already kind of touched on this.

196
00:27:55,780 --> 00:28:04,360
No, we didn't do a formal market study, although Stephen did present on it, I think a few presentations ago, a high level kind of market analysis.

197
00:28:05,180 --> 00:28:09,060
Our financial model assumes that there is sufficient market demand and only test legal

198
00:28:09,060 --> 00:28:10,600
physical and economic constraints.

199
00:28:11,860 --> 00:28:18,020
So we're really focused on a few commercial properties and we already have some plans

200
00:28:18,020 --> 00:28:25,740
for what those are and so we're evaluating that as part of this evaluation and focused

201
00:28:25,740 --> 00:28:26,200
on that.

202
00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:32,450
Can the financial model be used to validate an application for land use or zoning?

203
00:28:32,450 --> 00:28:37,730
Yes, however, it's important to note that the model would not account for market segment or market brand requirements.

204
00:28:38,410 --> 00:28:43,310
For example, lodging industry can be segmented into multiple target markets such as luxury or budget,

205
00:28:43,710 --> 00:28:48,490
full service or limited, tourist or business, national brand or boutique, et cetera, et cetera.

206
00:28:48,690 --> 00:28:53,930
So there are these variations and Steven's got a challenging task because he's got to make assumptions about

207
00:28:53,930 --> 00:28:57,010
where some of this development for highest and best use falls in there.

208
00:28:57,010 --> 00:29:01,950
So, you know, that it's important to make these disclosures.

209
00:29:03,570 --> 00:29:07,990
Is actual price for land considered in the financial model when validating a project?

210
00:29:08,530 --> 00:29:08,790
No.

211
00:29:09,450 --> 00:29:14,010
I know that a lot of people have a difference of opinion publicly about that.

212
00:29:14,550 --> 00:29:18,470
But the idea is that that is the fair market value the land.

213
00:29:18,910 --> 00:29:22,750
And if you don't look at the project with that baked in,

214
00:29:22,750 --> 00:29:28,670
And the landowner could always sell the land to realize that value in the moment.

215
00:29:29,030 --> 00:29:34,330
So when you're doing these types of valuations, it's standard practice to reflect it at the market value of the land.

216
00:29:34,650 --> 00:29:36,270
And that can go both ways.

217
00:29:36,610 --> 00:29:38,670
That can go positive or negative.

218
00:29:39,150 --> 00:29:41,990
And there's a lot of speculation and risk involved in real estate development.

219
00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:44,870
Most people will recognize and understand.

220
00:29:46,010 --> 00:29:53,790
But this is the explanation as to why you wouldn't or you would reflect it at the market value.

221
00:29:56,090 --> 00:29:58,670
How sensitive are the results of the financial model?

222
00:29:59,430 --> 00:29:59,950
it can be written.

223
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:25,740
Really relatively sensitive to small changes in individual assumptions. However, significant variances in the results could likely be a function of poor application of the model. For example, there is generally 100 to 150% difference in hard construction cost per square foot between the best quality and lowest quality construction. Steven, if you're available, I wasn't sure if you wanted to expand a little bit on this question and answer for everyone in the public.

224
00:30:28,030 --> 00:30:39,490
Yeah, Jerry, I just think, um, you know, as we go through this and there's there has been a lot of focus on well, what was your assumption for for laying value or was what was your assumption for construction cost?

225
00:30:39,710 --> 00:30:50,250
I just want to make sure again as we walk through and present scenarios, um, the results of scenarios we can make and can adjust.

226
00:30:52,030 --> 00:31:00,670
But what is critical is if you change one assumption more than likely, it requires you to change another assumption in the model.

227
00:31:02,150 --> 00:31:09,790
And again, we go back to, I think everybody sometimes gets in their mind, oh, there's only one construction cost for a hotel.

228
00:31:10,650 --> 00:31:17,430
Well, as I think we illustrated many months ago before we even did the October presentation, the cost of a hotel room,

229
00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:19,990
and constructing a hotel room can vary widely.

230
00:31:20,870 --> 00:31:22,410
So if you take the model,

231
00:31:22,410 --> 00:31:24,770
and if you want to assume high quality construction,

232
00:31:25,550 --> 00:31:27,790
you also have to assume high ADR.

233
00:31:28,370 --> 00:31:29,410
They go hand in hand.

234
00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:32,690
You're gonna require, or you're gonna expect,

235
00:31:32,810 --> 00:31:35,530
as a hotel operator, you're gonna expect high ADRs

236
00:31:35,530 --> 00:31:37,110
when you're delivering a high quality product.

237
00:31:37,650 --> 00:31:38,730
If you wanna go in the model

238
00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:41,070
and make something financially feasible

239
00:31:41,070 --> 00:31:43,370
by assuming a low quality construction,

240
00:31:43,370 --> 00:31:47,790
and then you have to go in and do budget ADRs,

241
00:31:47,850 --> 00:31:52,830
budget hotel ADRs because you can't command quality ADRs

242
00:31:52,830 --> 00:31:54,210
if you're not delivering quality products.

243
00:31:54,430 --> 00:31:58,590
So it's just important that, you know, yes,

244
00:32:01,390 --> 00:32:06,070
every employee, every assumption can have a range of value,

245
00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:08,470
but it's probably most critical to make sure,

246
00:32:08,670 --> 00:32:11,230
if you're changing one thing, one assumption,

247
00:32:11,230 --> 00:32:15,250
you probably need to make sure you're changing all of the assumptions that go along with it.

248
00:32:15,490 --> 00:32:19,650
Yeah, and it's important to mention that, you know, we're an independent firm. I mean, we don't have

249
00:32:19,650 --> 00:32:27,430
any preference one way or another of the outcome. So, you know, Steven's just applying his experience

250
00:32:27,430 --> 00:32:34,870
in doing this kind of work for, I don't want to say like 50 years, I think, but it's been a very long

251
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:41,770
time that Stephen's been doing this and I think that he's just trying to apply industry

252
00:32:41,770 --> 00:32:48,050
best practices to how he makes these assumptions and to his point is that, and that's one

253
00:32:48,050 --> 00:32:52,790
of the reasons why I think there was hesitancy around like providing the model because if

254
00:32:52,790 --> 00:32:56,850
folks don't know to do those things then they're going to potentially come up with a lot

255
00:32:56,850 --> 00:33:02,830
of scenarios that may not be viable potentially but that being said, we want to be completely

256
00:33:02,830 --> 00:33:07,090
transparent about how he's doing these calculations and arriving at the values.

257
00:33:07,890 --> 00:33:15,090
And so we're trying to make a good level of effort to provide that and also run additional scenarios.

258
00:33:15,290 --> 00:33:20,650
And ideally, the scenarios that we're looking at are going to capture the book ends and in between.

259
00:33:21,190 --> 00:33:27,130
So if there are other alternative scenarios that you would be looking at, that it would fall between those different categories.

260
00:33:27,130 --> 00:33:32,850
So then that way, you know, we can speak to even some of these other scenarios that may be envisioned, potentially.

261
00:33:36,770 --> 00:33:44,830
Is there only one acceptable answer for proposed development using this model? No, there could be literally dozens of possible development scenarios.

262
00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:49,370
And I think one way to think about that is, you know,

263
00:33:51,650 --> 00:33:55,130
when we do a lot of this modeling, we always try to identify what our book ends.

264
00:33:55,690 --> 00:34:01,970
And then you know you can think that anything between those bookends is a possible scenario you could run.

265
00:34:02,770 --> 00:34:04,570
And that's a way to sort of think about it.

266
00:34:04,870 --> 00:34:10,730
So you could have almost an infinite number of different scenarios that you could operate in between those bookends.

267
00:34:11,010 --> 00:34:17,530
By changing one scenario or one assumption or another assumption or modulating those assumptions a little bit.

268
00:34:17,930 --> 00:34:24,330
But it's not always necessary to run each and every one of those because if you know what the bookends are and you know some other parameters

269
00:34:24,330 --> 00:34:42,170
then you can rule out some other things, assumptions that, you know, for example, to Steven's point, if you had the height to 60 or 65, if you needed 70 to get the extra story, whether you run 66 or 67 or 68, it's not going to change the outcome.

270
00:34:42,770 --> 00:34:45,070
So that's the point that I'm trying to make.

271
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,160
Does the model use proprietary or hidden assumptions or formulas?

272
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:59,960
No, I think that there was a comment because we didn't provide the model that there was concerned by the public that it was.

273
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:16,160
We didn't have transparency around how we're doing the calculations, and I just want to put that to rest that we're not doing that. We're going to be providing all the calculations and all of the assumptions for all the scenarios we're running. And it should be included in our report as well if it isn't separately provided.

274
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:32,340
What are the sources for assumptions used in the model? All assumptions are derived from industry standards, as I mentioned earlier. Manuals of practice or cost models, such as construction, cost estimating, engineering, and

275
00:35:32,340 --> 00:35:37,840
construction management and this is Stephen doing a three extensive experience in development

276
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,200
of performance.

277
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:48,000
It has been noted that construction costs could have a 100% to 150% range of difference

278
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:48,900
based on quality.

279
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,080
Are there assumptions in the financial model?

280
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,640
Are there any assumptions in the financial model constant?

281
00:35:55,380 --> 00:35:58,980
The only assumption in the model that generally does not have a potential range of values is the

282
00:35:58,980 --> 00:36:00,220
assumption of the tax rate.

283
00:36:00,220 --> 00:36:11,280
So, I think that was a little bit to just point out that, you know, that's why you can have so many different scenarios depending on what you want to adjust within the auto.

284
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:29,260
We've gone through all of the FAQs based on the feedback that we received from the public and everyone, and you know, just want to open it up for some Q&A and try to do our best to answer all of your questions this evening.

285
00:36:29,260 --> 00:36:34,500
and anything that we can't answer on the spot, we can certainly circle back with and get you answers.

286
00:36:40,620 --> 00:36:54,680
Here, on several of the sides, you'd mentioned how you consider Steve is considering legal and physical requirements when playing around with that model.

287
00:36:54,860 --> 00:37:01,560
How do you overlap, and I really don't know the answer to this question, but how do you overlap public what you're hearing from the public,

288
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:07,120
public, the feedback that you're getting from the public about, we've asked a lot of questions,

289
00:37:07,260 --> 00:37:12,340
you know, what's your vision, what's your aspirations, what do you want this community to look like,

290
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:19,100
how do you incorporate those into the financial models? So yeah, I mean that's a really great question,

291
00:37:19,220 --> 00:37:24,360
I don't know if you would incorporate it into the financial models, if the goal of the financial

292
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:30,880
models to evaluate the profitability of like certain types of developments, but they do express

293
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:43,660
themselves when, you know, the public has input around density height development, these types of broader goals are objective for the community or how the community wants to look, right?

294
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:59,540
And I think that the feedback that we've been doing through the outreach that Cheryl and Claire and the team have done is going to work itself into our report findings and recommendations.

295
00:37:59,540 --> 00:38:18,200
And then that information is going to be available to you as the governing body to make a decision about later on about whether you want to change certain parameters around your plan development, assuming that it comports with all requirements at the county level as well.

296
00:38:21,780 --> 00:38:27,080
I have a question, we heard a lot tonight about the financial model and that and that's all super important part of this.

297
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:39,220
I know there's also component of the survey and kind of what residents said they wanted around, you know, height, density, and also what they wanted just in the town in general.

298
00:38:39,860 --> 00:38:46,460
When is that going to be rolled in, and we're going to see some of that because to me, I think resident input is one of the most important things that we can get.

299
00:38:46,980 --> 00:39:10,580
Yeah, so the, the, I think all those reports are getting released to staff in the next week or so when I talked to Claire earlier this evening, who's working with Cheryl on that, and I think we have a deadline no later than mid-October for the overall report, which would include all of that, so I would say in a matter of weeks, all this information will become available.

300
00:39:10,580 --> 00:39:11,420
Well,

301
00:39:16,190 --> 00:39:44,490
I hope to see a financial model for the Thunderbird location as soon as available with all the parameters that Mr. McDonald will input with, but I'd like to see like the 5 over 1 with 106 units and 64 height limit and then 80 feet up to 100 units per acre or 184 units, which I understand was requested by the Thunderbird owners, so that's all I have.

302
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,220
Yeah, I've agreed with that. I've given that feedback to Cheryl. I think the Thunderbirds

303
00:39:52,220 --> 00:39:56,100
a good example. Probably one of the easiest ones you're going to have to work with. Yeah,

304
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,720
because you've got the baseline of the 106 units. You've got their

305
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:28,760
They came forth and asked for, which was county, max, 184. And then, so those two scenarios, and then is there anything in between those two still is profitable for the owner developer of the property? Yeah, Steven's looking at that. And I think we're working with staff to identify a few of those that might help better answer and guide everybody. But if we don't hit the mark on the things that we want to look at, we can certainly entertain more.

306
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:46,300
Yeah, one of the things that I've been addressing is we have a very nice city here, and the cost of some of this where we go to the lowest quality versus the best quality.

307
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:57,180
And I would assume that with the homes we're building, million dollar homes, that we're not going to put six motel sixes in.

308
00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:00,740
and then basically say, wow, I'm scratching my head.

309
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:02,080
You know, why did we do this?

310
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,280
Because the quality of a motel six

311
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,280
isn't anywhere near the quality

312
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:09,600
of some of the higher-end stuff with Marriott.

313
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:12,760
Yeah, I mean, Steven, I was wondering if you heard

314
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,780
that question, if you wanted to weigh in.

315
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:16,920
Yeah, absolutely.

316
00:41:17,260 --> 00:41:19,440
I mean, I think our broad assumption going,

317
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,280
you know, from the beginning straight in

318
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,800
is any resort community that has an amenity

319
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:32,860
like ocean front and already has properties that are at the higher end but certainly a lot

320
00:41:32,860 --> 00:41:36,860
of properties that need to be redeveloped, we assume high quality construction.

321
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,900
And I think that again, that's some of the challenge with what we're hearing and again

322
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:48,040
the illustration of last time we thought about the hypothetical model, we were assuming high

323
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:54,820
quality construction, we were assuming trying to maximize as much as we could of a particular

324
00:41:54,820 --> 00:42:02,540
parcel that raises the cost and at the same time we're assuming a high quality ADR as well.

325
00:42:02,980 --> 00:42:09,680
You know, I think if you recall, we were at the top end of on the retail side of the 45

326
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:16,020
triple net, which I think raised the eyebrows. But again, we are going after and trying to assume

327
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:24,500
that your community and your developers want the highest quality. And so we're modeling that. We're

328
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:29,320
We're not bas- we're not assuming, you know, budget hotels, just so to make something look profitable.

329
00:42:30,620 --> 00:42:39,580
And to add to John's mayor, Drs. Point is, Motel 6 won't provide a fancy restaurant or amenities for other residents and so on, so.

330
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:40,860
Yeah.

331
00:42:42,020 --> 00:42:43,680
But they'll leave the light on for you.

332
00:42:46,620 --> 00:42:50,890
All right, are there any other questions?

333
00:42:53,730 --> 00:43:00,510
If not, I appreciate you coming and giving us the update and look forward to the next four or five weeks.

334
00:43:00,810 --> 00:43:07,270
Yes, yes, I don't have one for a workshop.

335
00:43:08,090 --> 00:43:08,810
Marie Barba.

336
00:43:15,020 --> 00:43:19,120
Questions for Mr. Rath-Tillis, whatever you'd like to see.

337
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:20,080
My name is Terry.

338
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:21,800
Territory.

339
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:22,340
Territory.

340
00:43:22,860 --> 00:43:23,200
Hi.

341
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:43,360
And I thought since you can't provide, I would not provide any software for my application as well, but you can provide executables, maybe through, you know, the commissioners going through, it doesn't have to be an app, but they can actually get to an executable without providing the actual software.

342
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,900
You know, it's binary, I don't know who's going to sit there and convert all that.

343
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:53,120
So, but my question, and that would be nice if we could start with the base and

344
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:59,280
have maybe the commissioners go, well, we add an additional in the hotel area.

345
00:43:59,620 --> 00:44:09,560
An additional 10 units, what would we, you know, what would we, maybe the financial model, what we present itself a certain way.

346
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:17,160
I mean, for me, that I'm not in the hotel business, that I would think that the price per room would be my number one target.

347
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,960
What can I get out of this room?

348
00:44:19,860 --> 00:44:23,100
That's how much I'm going to put in architecturally into it.

349
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:36,460
But I think a lot of us are also curious about starting from the baseline of what we currently have in our building codes.

350
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:45,780
What you force, can you have those scenarios start off at a baseline for the commissioners and then built from there?

351
00:44:46,540 --> 00:44:52,900
That's including the downtown area, 22 units per acre.

352
00:44:53,220 --> 00:44:55,640
You have approximately three acres, so you have 66.

353
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:59,720
And then you're going to, you know, just assume that you're going to have a restaurant.

354
00:45:00,370 --> 00:45:28,970
Retail, jewelry, whatever. Can you provide that kind of thing? I don't know. And then, of course, probably have to collaborate with our planners to see about the parking situation. Something like that, I think that's more tangible for some of us to see if, you know, we want to include more density or height through whatever means that we're going to do. We're going to haven't established that yet here. So don't hold me to any of that stuff. I'm not, you know, pushing anything.

355
00:45:28,970 --> 00:45:46,350
And so, or we built to the current building codes and how much, you know, I don't know, they used net instead of ROI in this real estate, in this hotel room rental scenario.

356
00:45:46,810 --> 00:45:53,730
So, but that would be one of my requests as just to see if we could start off with the baseline, maybe give them an opportunity to see what that would look like.

357
00:45:54,330 --> 00:45:54,730
Thank you.

358
00:45:54,730 --> 00:46:00,340
All right. Are there any other questions? Yes, please, come on out.

359
00:46:06,190 --> 00:46:11,790
I'll pause. And I'd like to second what Marie said and what I believe Terry said and

360
00:46:11,790 --> 00:46:18,370
what I've been hearing about different scenarios because right now I think the residents are

361
00:46:18,370 --> 00:46:24,270
having a problem trying to understand exactly what are we talking about. You know, we're saying,

362
00:46:24,370 --> 00:46:30,070
oh, this many rooms, this many rooms, but it doesn't really make sense. And I think that

363
00:46:30,070 --> 00:46:36,170
If we were to start with, okay, say the Thunderbird because that's most obvious.

364
00:46:36,670 --> 00:46:42,190
If we were to take the Thunderbird to the six stories, and we'd add, I guess, another

365
00:46:42,190 --> 00:46:51,530
four stories to part of where it is, some extra stories, and then let's look at what those

366
00:46:51,530 --> 00:46:58,850
kinds of numbers could be specifically with the high quality rooms, and then see why that

367
00:46:58,850 --> 00:47:05,930
that won't work or why if we just adjust it somewhat it might work, but we don't have

368
00:47:05,930 --> 00:47:09,270
an understanding of what that baseline is.

369
00:47:09,430 --> 00:47:12,630
We're just talking about, oh, it's not going to work, so we need to do this.

370
00:47:13,370 --> 00:47:20,470
Let's understand more what those actualities are, what the numbers are and why it either

371
00:47:20,470 --> 00:47:23,290
will or won't or how we can adjust them.

372
00:47:23,290 --> 00:47:28,570
I, you know, the residents are just like, you know, I'm confused.

373
00:47:29,430 --> 00:47:34,430
And I think that would be really helpful just to start with what our rules are now.

374
00:47:34,790 --> 00:47:41,490
If they increase to that point, and then let's see if it works or not.

375
00:47:41,670 --> 00:47:43,510
And then if it doesn't, then we'll move on.

376
00:47:44,210 --> 00:47:48,270
But let's see what, let's get some, something that we can put our teeth into.

377
00:47:49,430 --> 00:47:50,170
Thank you, Barb.

378
00:47:51,090 --> 00:47:51,330
Any other?

379
00:47:52,230 --> 00:47:52,630
Sarah?

380
00:47:56,950 --> 00:47:59,070
Hi there, Sarah Pennington, I love poems.

381
00:47:59,670 --> 00:48:05,870
One thing that stood out to me at the last presentation of the modeling was we have a few

382
00:48:05,870 --> 00:48:11,850
different levers we could pull and to me, the first level I would pull when something

383
00:48:11,850 --> 00:48:14,250
isn't working would be the parking.

384
00:48:14,910 --> 00:48:19,970
So instead of saying, oh, we need to have, you know, X number of parking, we should look

385
00:48:19,970 --> 00:48:25,650
at adjusting that parking level. So many people use Uber these days. I don't know what percentage

386
00:48:25,650 --> 00:48:31,670
of tourists coming to say at a hotel here are actually driving in and parking their cars. But to me,

387
00:48:31,950 --> 00:48:37,730
instead of pulling the lever of increasing height or increasing density, why don't we start with

388
00:48:37,730 --> 00:48:43,870
just looking at reducing parking as the first thing to do and then determine, okay, how can we

389
00:48:43,870 --> 00:48:49,750
I mean, reasonably reduce that, and then where does that put us as far as feasibility for the project?

390
00:48:59,420 --> 00:49:01,020
All right, anyone else?

391
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:11,160
Okay, so I'm going to close the public comment, and I'm going to end this meeting here.

392
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:11,720
Yes?

393
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:17,340
Could I just run one thing by the full commission to be considering over the next hour or two?

394
00:49:17,340 --> 00:49:17,400
Thank you.

395
00:49:17,660 --> 00:49:17,920
Sure.

396
00:49:19,980 --> 00:49:24,500
Commissioner Cieson, I apologize, Treasure Bay is your district, I tried to contact you.

397
00:49:24,940 --> 00:49:27,680
I had this thought late today, it might not even be a good thought.

398
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:37,220
But we will know a lot more in early December in terms of the, if the budget gets passed

399
00:49:37,220 --> 00:49:42,640
on the second reading tonight, there's funding in it for Treasure Bay to do some design work.

400
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:48,960
and we'll be able to push the request for quotes out for that design work starting tomorrow.

401
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:59,960
So you would have significantly more to look at, say late November, early December than you will October 6th.

402
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:29,980
Continue to go on. The consensus of the commission was that do the Treasure Bay workshop on October 6th. And the second thing you'll know is whether amendment three passed or not, which will impact everybody's budget and Florida. So if you guys want to consider that, give me some direction at the end of the meeting. So you want to kick the bucket down the road to December? What I want to do for your constituents, that item always seems to cause a good bit of

403
00:50:29,980 --> 00:50:34,120
of anxiety is to actually have something for you to act on.

404
00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:39,460
If we want to let Gary show you his updated sketches,

405
00:50:40,220 --> 00:50:41,600
we can do that in two weeks.

406
00:50:42,380 --> 00:50:45,340
But the information you'll need to make a decision,

407
00:50:45,340 --> 00:50:48,500
I don't think you'll really have next two weeks

408
00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:50,020
from tonight on October 6th.

409
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,240
So that's entirely up to you guys.

410
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,780
My constituents are reaching out to me.

411
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:55,040
I'm speaking with them,

412
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,640
they want to see it on agenda on October 6th.

413
00:51:05,860 --> 00:51:33,220
I have one question, I had requested, I believe it was back in June, I mean, I could go through my emails, but I believe it was in June, I had, and I know, apparently there was some difficulty finding it, the golf course and the expenditures as opposed to how much it made starting at 2017 to be fair.

414
00:51:33,220 --> 00:51:39,660
that way it wasn't, you know, based on after the hurricane or right before the hurricane,

415
00:51:40,060 --> 00:51:47,520
you know, it gave more of a lengthy, and that was actually a request that was placed by someone

416
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:55,360
here in the meeting that she had tried to request it, but obviously, you know, couldn't necessarily,

417
00:51:55,980 --> 00:52:00,580
and she's kind of newer to the community, and she was curious because she liked the golf course,

418
00:52:00,580 --> 00:52:01,760
which you wanted to see the numbers.

419
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:10,120
So I think going to 2017, if it's available, which I'm sure it should be, but I've not received it.

420
00:52:10,460 --> 00:52:23,760
So no matter whether we, I mean I would like to have that as soon as possible because I think it's very difficult to kind of even weigh all of that if we don't know the cost as opposed to everything.

421
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:30,680
So you're looking for the revenue reports annually from 2017 to 2023 prior to the hurricane?

422
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:35,380
Yes, the revenue and the expenditures.

423
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:46,400
So no matter when we have it, I mean, obviously, I think for all of us, it would be a huge benefit if we have that,

424
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,060
whether it's October or December, I think we need to have that to make an informed decision.

425
00:52:52,700 --> 00:52:53,340
Thank you.

426
00:52:53,340 --> 00:53:04,160
I would tend to agree, we may be having to come back to do this six, then come back and do December as well.

427
00:53:04,940 --> 00:53:13,020
And I don't know if that's the best use of our time since we're waiting for, I'll tell you what the amendment three is going to be a big deal.

428
00:53:13,780 --> 00:53:21,380
And I think that I don't know if our residents understand that or not, but I think we do.

429
00:53:21,380 --> 00:53:31,320
and so we need to, I don't know how much we can tell them about it is the bigger thing.

430
00:53:32,020 --> 00:53:35,440
Well, it's up to five of us, so give direction to the captain.

431
00:53:38,060 --> 00:53:40,400
Okay, I'll add a little to this too.

432
00:53:41,180 --> 00:53:44,300
I certainly don't want us to rush out after we approve the budget

433
00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:50,860
and go spend that $1.5 million that we have here marked there for the treasure pay.

434
00:53:50,860 --> 00:53:53,500
for design proposals.

435
00:53:54,020 --> 00:53:59,180
I think that's premature, I'd hate to spend it in particular on design proposals that we're never going to do.

436
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:09,640
So if we, for example, if we ask for, if we pay somebody for a design proposal for a golf course, first of all,

437
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:14,100
I think we already have a golf course designed that was done several years ago.

438
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:19,860
So we need to pull that one back out and see if that still applies for a design for anything else.

439
00:54:19,860 --> 00:54:24,740
I think we can ask people that they'd be interested in giving us some proposals, but

440
00:54:24,740 --> 00:54:31,000
I don't think we should be paying anybody for a design of a, for lack of a better word.

441
00:54:31,300 --> 00:54:33,100
What do you call that pop stroke or whatever?

442
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:39,720
And that's not, start paying P and P, if we may or may never approve that, so.

443
00:54:39,720 --> 00:54:42,820
So I'll have Mr. Vaughn that bring his figures in.

444
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:52,620
These were rendering sketches, initial concepts, not a full blown line whore, pop stroke, golf design.

445
00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:59,900
But he has the figures for what he's proposing and is nowhere near.

446
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:29,980
So, I'll add that to you free that consideration later this evening, but what I think I'm hearing is you might not want to address it until after a minute. Correct. So, what date had you proposed? So, December 1st is the 1st Tuesday of the month this year. And so, that's what I'm thinking, but I'll get you those.

447
00:55:29,980 --> 00:55:37,680
numbers as you start this meeting after so you have a little more time to think about it.

448
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,700
Okay. Can you get us those numbers that Tammy requested in the meantime?

449
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:47,540
Probably not before the end of this meeting. I'm not sure we're to look but one of

450
00:55:47,540 --> 00:55:54,060
our finance people in order to go find that. Yeah, Tammy, I'm sorry, Vice Mayor FastQuest,

451
00:55:54,580 --> 00:55:58,920
are you talking about just the financials of total revenue, total hand,

452
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:04,260
total expenses for running all of Treasure Bay for the past, you know, since, and is that what you're doing?

453
00:56:04,260 --> 00:56:11,760
For the breakdown of the golf course, specifically, so not excluding tennis, and I think that was when I originally talked to Victor,

454
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:19,740
I think that's, and I could be completely wrong, but I, because I, again, I think this was back in June when I was asking for it,

455
00:56:19,740 --> 00:56:27,920
maybe even earlier than that, but I think it was trying to separate the tennis, the, what's the other thing they play out there?

456
00:56:29,540 --> 00:56:32,500
No, it wasn't Pickleback then, Pickleball wasn't a thing.

457
00:56:32,720 --> 00:56:39,920
Gosh, it's a football, so they were trying to separate, I guess is what the break down was.

458
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:51,500
So literally as narrowly as we can narrow that down to the nine whole golf course of expenditures versus what it was making.

459
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:57,260
I think, I mean, that's to me the number one thing we need before we can make a decision.

460
00:56:57,260 --> 00:57:03,060
and because I want to see before the hurricane, you know, where we were at.

461
00:57:04,380 --> 00:57:13,000
Yeah, and the one thing that we also need to take a look over there is that we have now have the living shoreline as well as we have a walking trail.

462
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:20,140
And I think that the walking trail may be an issue, but anyhow.

463
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:21,760
Certainly a liability.

464
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:21,880
Absolutely.

465
00:57:22,180 --> 00:57:23,220
Yes, absolutely.

466
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:31,480
I wouldn't say either one of those, but I'll say that discussion of that, because in terms

467
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:37,160
of a liability, we can figure out how to work around the liability issues, in terms you

468
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,120
don't have people walking when they're playing golf and you don't have people playing golf

469
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:48,120
when they're walking, so there's easy ways to work around that, so I wouldn't be too concerned

470
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:48,640
about that.

471
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:57,280
I had the design, like again, I'd like to take whatever we did, I know we spent money on designing a hard nine golf course.

472
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:07,420
Let's pull that back out, look at it and see if it's still applicable or if we can tweak it to make it applicable, given that we now have the walking trail there.

473
00:58:07,700 --> 00:58:17,180
So let's just not start from scratch on the design and let's not go spend $180,000 on a new design either.

474
00:58:17,180 --> 00:58:23,820
let's see let's work with what we got first before we spend more money all right

475
00:58:26,030 --> 00:58:26,770
do we need to

476
00:58:26,770 --> 00:58:34,130
wait or see what we're going to do here or can we move it definitively to December 1st

477
00:58:36,570 --> 00:58:45,470
I'm good December 1st okay okay so we'll do that at December 1st all right anything else Charlie

478
00:58:45,470 --> 00:58:49,570
all right we are now adjourned
