          AND REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING SOME TIME. 
          WE'LL BE VERY BRIEF AND WE'D LOVE TO OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS. 
          UM, IF TIME ALLOWS, UM, A COUPLE OF THINGS AND I'D LIKE TO SHARE MY SCREEN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I THINK MY SCREEN SHARING IS DISABLED, UH, BUT WE CAN, WE CAN DO WITHOUT THE SCREENSHOTS THAT'S OKAY. 
          BUT IF SOMEBODY ON THE TEAM CAN ENABLE MY SHIRT CONTENT, UM, THAT'D BE AWESOME. 
          UM, LET ME, LET ME, LET ME GET GOING. 
          SO MY NAME IS, AS RONNIE SAID, MY NAME'S RON PATEL. 
          I LEAD OUR PUBLIC POLICY AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TEAM AT TESLA, WHICH INCLUDES THE SITE SELECTION FOR OUR NEXT, UH, NORTH AMERICAN GIGAFACTORY. 
          I'M JOINED BY VAL WORKMAN, WHO IS WITH ME ON OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM AND SHE, SHE LEADS OUR ENTIRE PEOPLE EXPERIENCE AT TESLA. 
          AND THAT, THAT INCLUDES RECRUITING CODES, DIVERSITY INCLUSION, COMMUNITY RELATIONS, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, INTERN PROGRAMS. A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, I THINK YOU MAY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT, BUT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK ARE GOING TO BE ONE OF THE, UH, ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING PARTS ABOUT LOCATING, UH, FRANKLY, ANYWHERE. 
          BUT, UH, I THINK SPECIFICALLY IN AUSTIN, UM, A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON ME. 
          I SPENT 10 YEARS WORKING FOR THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT AND THE ADMINISTRATION MOSTLY FOCUSED ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENERGY ISSUES, BUT FOR A BRIEF TIME, I WAS ALSO THE PRESIDENT'S LIAISON WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. 
          AND SO I HAVE A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THE WORK THAT Y'ALL DO, AND ESPECIALLY DURING THESE KINDS OF TOUGH TIMES. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR, FOR YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S, UM, PART TIME GAZA IS ON, BUT CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR, ON YOUR WIN LAST NIGHT. 
          UM, SO FIRST OFF OUR, UH, OUR, OUR MISSION IS TO ACCELERATE THE WORLD'S TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AND, OH, IT LOOKS LIKE OUR, UH, THE SHARED, THE SHARE THING WORKED NOW. 
          SO ONE SECOND, LET ME, UH, LET ME GO AHEAD AND SHARE. 
          [00:05:16]
IT'S NOT WORKING SO, BUT THAT'S OKAY. 
          WE'LL JUST, WE'LL DO IT AT THE SCREEN SHARE. 
          SO OUR, OUR MISSION IS TO ACCELERATE THE WORLD'S TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AND TRANSPORT, AND THIS, THIS IS A REALLY PERSONAL MISSION FOR, FOR ME. 
          UM, UH, THANK YOU FOR WHOEVER'S DOING THAT. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          UM, MY, MY WIFE HAS A LUNG DOCTOR, UM, WHO IS CURRENTLY TREATING COVID PATIENTS. 
          HER RESEARCH FOCUS IS ACTUALLY ON THE IMPACT OF THE COLLUSION ON VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. 
          AND MY OLDER DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF EMERGENCY ROOMS WITH MOMMY ISSUES. 
          SO IT'S MISSION. 
          IT JUST, IT DRIVES ME, I THINK IT DRIVES EVERY DECISION AT TESLA. 
          AND I THINK VALERIE WOULD AGREE WITH ME ON THAT. 
          SO A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. 
          SO BACK BACK IN 2006, UH, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, BACK IN 2006, WE PUT TOGETHER A SECRET MASTER PLAN AND THE PLAN WAS SO SECRET. 
          WE PUBLISHED ON THE WEBSITE FOR BASIC THINGS, CREATE A LOW VOLUME SPORTS CAR, THE ROADSTER, UM, USE THAT MONEY TO DEVELOP A MEDIUM VOLUME CAR AT A SLIGHTLY LOWER PRICE. 
          THAT'S THE MODEL S AND MODEL X, AND USE THAT MONEY TO DEVELOP AN EVEN MORE AFFORDABLE CAR. 
          AND THAT'S OUR MODEL THREE AND MODEL Y. 
          AND REALLY OUR MISSION IS TO KEEP DRIVING THE PRICE DOWN SO THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE CAN DRIVE ELECTRIC AND BE MORE AND MORE SUSTAINABLE. 
          THE LAST THING THAT A MASTER PLAN INCLUDED SOLAR POWER GENERATION. 
          SO THE REASON WHY I WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS IS BECAUSE THE NEXT FACTORY IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO FULFILLING OUR MISSION AND FURTHER DEVELOPING THAT MISSION AND IT'S CRITICAL. 
          SO THE NEXT SLIDE, UM, IT'S CRITICAL FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SERVE THE EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY OF THE U S UH, WITH OUR MASS MARKET VEHICLES, IN ADDITION TO BEING THE CENTRAL LOCATION FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, FOR OUR CYBER TRUCK, WHICH IS SORT OF OUR VERSION OF THE PICKUP TRUCK. 
          AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S A, THAT'S A VERY, UH, POPULAR VEHICLE DOWN IN TEXAS. 
          SO NEXT SLIDE, UM, OVER THE, OVER THE LAST, I'D SAY FIVE MONTHS OR SO, MY TEAM HAS BEEN HEARING FROM VIRTUALLY EVERY STATE, EVERY GOVERNOR, BASICALLY EAST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS, WE'VE ENGAGED IN A DISCUSSION WITH STATE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS LIKE YOURSELF, UH, TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THOSE COMMUNITIES, TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ATTRIBUTES, UH, TO, TO REALLY BETTER UNDERSTAND, UH, WHERE, WHERE WE REALLY NEED TO BE AND WHERE WE WANT TO BE AND WHERE WE CAN BE A PARTNER. 
          UM, THAT'S REALLY MOST IMPORTANT. 
          AND, AND OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, I'D SAY, UM, I I'VE PERSONALLY JUST BEEN OVERWHELMED WITH THE ENTHUSIASM. 
          I MEAN, UH, WHETHER IT'S HOUSTON TILLOTSON, UM, DR. 
          BURNETT OVER THERE, WHAT A, WHAT A WONDERFUL LADY AND LEADER, UM, YOU GUYS, OBVIOUSLY I'M A GEM AND THAT INSTITUTION, UM, THE WORLD, THE WORLD, THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT UT AND, UH, ITS ENGINEERING EXPERTISE. 
          SOME OF OUR BEST ENGINEERS ACTUALLY ARE FROM UT AUSTIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE. 
          UH, THE NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD THERE HAVE JUST BEEN PHENOMENAL, UM, AND, AND EVERYTHING TOO, TO JUSTICE REENTRY PROGRAMS AS WELL. 
          UM, WE DIDN'T, UH, WE SPOKE A LOT TO JUDGE BISCO DURING THE COUNTY WORK AROUND, UH, WHAT'S IMPORTANT ON REENTRY PROGRAMS, AND WE CERTAINLY WANT TO BE A PARTNER THERE AS WELL, AND VAL WILL TALK TO THAT. 
          UM, BUT I THINK THE THING THAT'S KIND OF MAYBE INSPIRED ME THE MOST IS THE COMMUNITY DISCUSSIONS, THE NEIGHBORHOOD DISCUSSIONS, UH, EAST AUSTIN, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S A, I GUESS, A BIT OF A CHIP ON THEIR SHOULDER. 
          AND, AND I LOVE THAT. 
          I THINK TESLA HAS A LITTLE BIT OF THAT OURSELVES, UM, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO BREAK THROUGH IN A VERY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY. 
          UM, AND, AND I FEEL LIKE THE, THOSE, THOSE INTERACTIONS WE'VE HAD HAVE JUST BEEN, I GUESS, IT'S SHINE THE LIGHT FOR ME ON, UH, PARTS OF AUSTIN THAT MAYBE YOU DON'T REALLY HEAR ABOUT AND, UM, HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY BE HELPFUL AND, UH, AND, AND, AND, AND PROVIDE SUPPORT AND UTILITY TO, UH, THE DELL VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND EASTERN AUSTIN. 
          SO THAT, THAT, UH, AND THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THIS PROCESS HAS JUST BEEN FANTASTIC. 
          SO WHY, WHY THIS SITE AND WHY HAS THIS SITE RISEN TO THE TOP OF OUR SEARCH? WHAT TO UNDERLINE? WE HAVEN'T MADE ANY DECISIONS, UH, NO ANNOUNCEMENTS, UM, BUT WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF SITES BOTH INSIDE OF THE TEXAS AND OUTSIDE OF TEXAS, THAT WE'RE, WE'RE SO CONSIDERING SO REASONS FOR THE SITE, NUMBER ONE, UM, BUT FACTORY'S GOING TO NEED A VERY DIVERSE WORKFORCE. 
          AND, UH, 
          [00:10:01]
TWO THIRDS OF THAT WORKFORCE WILL NEED TO BE ENTRY LEVEL. 
          UM, SO THOSE ARE THE PRODUCTION ASSOCIATES MAINLY AND MATERIAL HANDLERS, UM, AND, AND THAT KIND OF WORK REQUIRES A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE AND A WILLINGNESS TO LEARN. 
          AND THAT WAS GOING TO GET INTO THAT. 
          UM, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO NEED THE BEST ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS IN THE WORLD. 
          WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO ATTRACT THE BEST. 
          AND I THINK AUSTIN HAS THE COMBO OF THOSE TWO THINGS THAT MAYBE MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES WE'VE SPOKEN TO DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE IN SPADES LIKE YOU GUYS DO. 
          UM, SO THIS IS NUMBER ONE, THAT'S BEEN A BIG, BIG COMPONENT OF OUR DECISION MAKING PROCESS NUMBER TWO. 
          AND I THINK THIS IS THE PART I'M A, I'M AN ENVIRONMENT MYSELF. 
          AND, UM, AND THE FACT THAT THIS SITE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN THE DEL VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND WE SAID, AUSTIN IS, UM, IS IT'S AN OLD SAND AND GRAVEL MINING SITE. 
          UH, AND SO ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER, UM, IT HAS GREAT POTENTIAL, I THINK FOR RECREATION AND BEAUTY, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S GOT MINING PITTS. 
          IT'S GOT NO RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES. 
          IN FACT, WHAT IT'S GOT IS ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND OLD CHEMICAL BEDS. 
          UM, SO I THINK THE VISION FOR US OF BEING ABLE TO TRANSFORM THIS OLD MINING SITE, THAT'S IN DISREPAIR INTO A SUSTAINABLE FACTORY WITH RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY FITS WITH OUR MISSION. 
          AND IT'S REALLY, FRANKLY, JUST CRUEL FOR ME AND A LOT OF FOLKS THAT WORK AT TESLA. 
          I THINK IT'S, UH, IT'S BEEN VERY ATTRACTIVE PART OF THIS PARTICULAR SITE. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, I THINK THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY WITH DELL VALLEY WOULD BE VERY ADVANTAGEOUS. 
          I THINK BOTH FOR THE STUDENTS, BUT MAYBE EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, UM, FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND THE EFFORT THAT I THINK WE REALLY WANT MAKE TO, TO MENTOR, TO DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF WORKFORCE, BOTH FOR US AND FOR OTHERS, I THINK IS, IS, UH, IS REALLY INSPIRING. 
          SO I, THE, THE DELL VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, UM, CONTINUING TECHNICAL EDUCATION DIRECTOR, UH, TESTIFIED THE OTHER DAY. 
          UM, AND, AND SO DID THE, THE DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM THE OTHER NIGHT, IT WAS, UM, I MEAN, I GUESS TO SUM UP THEIR COMMENTS, THEY SAID IT WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER TO HAVE, UM, SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING IN THEIR AREA. 
          SO AS I WRAP UP AND PASS IT OVER TO VAL, I'D LIKE TO PROVIDE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT TESLA AS IT RELATES TO OUR MANUFACTURING AGREEMENTS AND OUR SAFETY RECORD. 
          THERE'S BEEN, UM, I GUESS SOME, YOU KNOW, SMALL NUMBER OF VOICES OUT THERE THAT ARE SAYING THINGS THAT SOMETIMES THEY'RE JUST EITHER INCORRECT, MAYBE THEY DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION, UM, BUT THOSE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT ON THESE ITEMS. SO IN GIGAFACTORY IN NEVADA, THIS ISN'T SOMETHING YOU NEED TO SAY, OH, WELL, ROWAN'S TELLING ME, MAYBE I NEED, YOU CAN LITERALLY GO TO THE STATE OF NEVADA'S WEBSITE AND LOOK AT THEIR AUDITED FINANCIAL RECORDS, AUDITED REPORTS OF OUR JOB CREATION. 
          THIS $5 BILLION CAPITAL INVESTMENT IS ACTUALLY AN OLD NUMBER. 
          WE'RE ACTUALLY WELL ABOVE THAT AT 13,000 JOBS ON SITE, 15,000 CONSTRUCTION JOBS THAT, UM, OVER THE COURSE OF THE PROJECT, WE'VE LITERALLY EXCEEDED. 
          UM, AS THE GOVERNOR SAID, BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS, UM, HAVE SAID WE'VE EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS IN LITERALLY EVERY CATEGORY, UH, BOTH LOCAL HIRING, UH, SAFETY AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU COULD IMAGINE IN BETWEEN. 
          AND THAT'S TRUE. 
          THE NEXT SLIDE IS IT'S ALSO TRUE IN CALIFORNIA. 
          UM, THE, THE PLANT THAT WE HAD BEFORE OUT THERE WAS THAT WE BOUGHT WAS DURING THE RECESSION GM AND TOYOTA, UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO ABANDON THE FACTORY. 
          UM, WE CAME IN AFTERWARDS AND HAVE SPENT $3 BILLION PLUS MODERNIZING THIS FACTORY. 
          UM, IT'S IN DECADES, OLD FACTORY. 
          SO IT HAS A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEEDED REPAIR, A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO BRING IT UP TO, UH, TO FRANKLY, UP TO CODE. 
          UM, AND WE'VE DONE A LOT OF, A LOT OF THOSE INVESTMENTS, 10,000 PLUS JOBS IN FREMONT, UH, THE, THE ANCILLARY BENEFITS IN TERMS OF SUPPLY CHAIN AND ALL, I CAME ALSO BEEN A SIGNIFICANT, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS CHART. 
          AND THEN, AND, AND, AND OF COURSE IT'S THE SAME THING. 
          YOU CAN GO TO THE CALIFORNIA WEBSITE. 
          WE'VE TESTIFIED. 
          WE PROVIDE THESE DATA, THIS DATA AND NUMBERS TO, UM, TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS. 
          AND THE LAST THING THAT HAS COME UP IS ON, IS ON OUR SAFETY RECORD. 
          AND THIS IS SOMETHING, FRANKLY, I'M QUITE PROUD OF THAT THE NEXT SLIDE GIVES YOU AN INDICATION OF THAT. 
          AND I'M HAPPY TO GET INTO A, SORRY, THIS IS THE BUFFALO SLIDE, BUT THE NEXT, UM, THE, UH, HAPPY TO GIVE YOU A LOT OF DATA ON THIS. 
          UM, AND OUR EHS TEAM WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THIS AS WELL, 
          [00:15:01]
BUT, AND NOT COMING FROM A DEFENSIVE PLACE AT ALL. 
          BUT INSTEAD TO TRY TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE MADE AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE JUST, WE'RE BETTER THAN THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE. 
          AND WE WANT TO BE THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY, NOT JUST BETTER THAN THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE. 
          I MEAN, IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT PREVIOUS FACTORY THAT WE SHOWED IN, IN FREMONT, THAT FACTORY, UH, THE, FROM 2008, WHEN WE TOOK OVER TO TODAY, IT'S FIT, IT'S 50% BETTER THAN WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THAT FACTORY ON TOTAL RECORDABLE INJURY RATES AND A NUMBER OF OTHER, UH, A NUMBER OF NUMBER OF OTHER INDICATORS, SAFETY INDICATORS, UM, WHEN A PLANT THAT WAS ROBBED RUN BY GM VERSUS A PLANT THAT'S BEING RUN BY A TESLA TODAY. 
          SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE, THE EFFORTS THAT WE'VE MADE. 
          WE'VE ACTUALLY WON AWARDS ON FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN DYE CASTING ASSOCIATION THAT LAY THROUGH THE FACILITY IS IN, IN, IN CALIFORNIA, IS DOING JUST INCREDIBLE WORK. 
          SO LET ME STOP THERE. 
          I'M HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING RELATED TO SAFETY, UH, OR OUR PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS, OR ANY OTHER POLICIES THAT WE WORK ON CLIMATE ENERGY OR THE LIKE, BUT BEFORE I, BEFORE WE TURN IT OVER FOR QUESTIONS, I WANT TO INTRODUCE THAT WORKMAN WHO FRANKLY JUST EXEMPLIFIES THE TESLA SPIRIT. 
          SO WITHOUT ANY FURTHER WORDS FROM ME, VAL VALUE THERE, I CAN SEE HER, BUT MAYBE IF SHE WAS ON MUTE HER MICROPHONE, ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYBODY CAN HEAR ME. 
          HI. 
          SO I'M NOW, AND I AM THE VICE PRESIDENT, UH, PEOPLE, UM, AT TESLA AND I AM SO THRILLED TO BE HERE AND SEE WHEN I TALKED TO EVERYBODY TODAY, UM, YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE SLIDES, DIDN'T HE GO THROUGH AS WELL. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE NECESSARILY NEED THAT, BUT, UM, I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU A BIT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHO I AM, WHAT I DO, AND THEN REALLY TELL YOU THAT THE REAL STORY ABOUT TESLA, AS OPPOSED TO THE THINGS THAT YOU MAY BE HEARING IN THE MEDIA THAT ARE COMPLETELY UNTRUE, BUT THAT'S SORT OF LIKE THE TESLA. 
          SO I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR LEADING ALL THE PEOPLE FUNCTIONS. 
          UM, AND THAT INCLUDES HUMAN RESOURCES, RECRUITING COMPLIMENTING BENEFITS. 
          I'M ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURITY FOR WORKPLACE FACILITIES, FOR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION FOR COMMUNITY RELATIONS. 
          SO ESSENTIALLY ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE PEOPLE THAT'S ME. 
          AND I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ALMOST TWO AND A HALF YEARS. 
          I TOTALLY LOVE EVERYTHING WE DO. 
          AND EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR MISSION. 
          WHAT'S UP TO YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT SAFETY BEFORE I GO INTO EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT EMPLOYEES AND BENEFITS. 
          NONE OF THEM REALLY COOL STYLE, BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. 
          SO LET'S ADDRESS IT. 
          SO THE TRUTH ABOUT SAFETY AT TESLA IS FROM JANUARY OF 2020, YOU KNOW, WHEN I'M REALLY 99% OF THE U S COMPANIES HAD NO IDEA WHAT COVID-19 WAS. 
          WE HAD CREATED A COVID-19 TASKFORCE AND IT WAS COMPRISED OF MYSELF, UM, UH, LAURIE, UM, SHELBY, WHO WAS THE HEAD OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY HEAD UP SECURITY WAS PART OF THE PLAN OF THE TEAM. 
          ALSO PHYSICIAN OUR, OUR IN HOUSE PHYSICIAN. 
          AND WE STARTED OUR MEASURES BACK IN JANUARY. 
          I'M HAVING TO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT SHANGHAI, BECAUSE WE HAVE A FACTORY IN SHANGHAI. 
          AND FROM THEN WE HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTING PROTOCOLS TO KEEP OUR EMPLOYEES SAFE. 
          AND THAT INCLUDED, YOU KNOW, STARTING WITH WHERE EVERYBODY, AND HE STARTED WITH THE HAND SANITIZATION STAMP MEASURES. 
          I NEED MULTIPLE CLEANINGS FROM JANITORIAL SERVICES. 
          AND THEN AS THE WEEKS PROGRESSED, WE STARTED IMPLEMENTING THE WARRANTY PROTOCOLS FROM EMPLOYEES WHO ARE COMING BACK FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. 
          WE IMPLEMENTED THE SERVICE, PROBABLY THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY. 
          COVID-19 CITY BENEFITS FOR PAY FOR THOSE WHO WERE DIAGNOSED WITH COVID-19. 
          SO WE HAVE BEEN WAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE, AND IT'S KIND OF UNFORTUNATE THAT THE MEDIA HAS NOT CAPTURED THAT, BUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE TESLA TODAY WHERE WE HAVE, UM, A WORK BACK-TO-WORK PLAYBOOK FOR ALL EMPLOYEES, YOU CANNOT GET INTO THE FACILITY OF TESLA'S WITHOUT HAVING A TEMPERATURE CHECK WITHOUT BEING INSTRUCTED BY SECURITY, TO SANITIZE YOUR HANDS WITHOUT HAVING A MASK ON. 
          AND WE CONTINUALLY PULL OUR EMPLOYEES, UM, BY, UH, BY A POLI APP TO SAY, HOW ARE WE DOING, I MISSING ANYTHING? AND THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF OUR EMPLOYEES BELIEVE THAT WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING, THAT HE CAN SAVE. 
          UM, THERE HAVE BEEN INACCURATE REPORTS IN THE MEDIA, YOU KNOW, A DRAFT, UM, AND 
          [00:20:01]
MODELING, UH, UH, UM, MODELING STATEMENTS THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH REAL DATA, UM, HAVE BEEN MEET. 
          BUT THE TRUTH IS, UM, AS OF RIGHT NOW, NO ONE, UM, UH, TESLA HAS BECOME EITHER EITHER ANYONE WHO HAS HAD COVID. 
          HE NEED TO RETURN BACK TO HER OTHER HOME, RECOVERING THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE. 
          AND WE WOULD PUT THAT STATISTIC AGAINST ANY COMPANY ANYWHERE, AND WE ARE THRILLED THAT EVERYBODY IS DOING WELL. 
          SO I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. 
          THAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT SAFETY. 
          IT TELLS A LOT, LET'S TALK ABOUT, UM, SOME OF THE MORE POOR ASPECTS OF WHAT WE DO. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN PUT UP THE BENEFITS SLIDE, BUT, UM, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF SORT OF QUESTION ABOUT WHAT DO WE PROVIDE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES. 
          AND I THINK PEOPLE WILL BE PRETTY SURPRISED WHEN YOU SEE ACTUALLY NUMBER ONE, EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A SHAREHOLDER AT TESLA, EVERY EMPLOYEE THAT'S PRODUCTIVE ASSOCIATES ON THE LINE WHO MAKE THE VEHICLES ONLY UP TO THE PEOPLE THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW. 
          YOU'RE SO PROUD OF THAT. 
          WE HAVE FIVE MEDICAL PLANS AND TWO, THREE OF THOSE HAVE NO PAYROLL DEDUCTION. 
          WE HAVE DENTAL VISION. 
          WE HAVE LIFE INSURANCE. 
          WE HAVE A D AND D, AND THIS IS WHAT EVERY EMPLOYEE SHORT TERM, LONG TERM DISABILITY, THE PENN LOW CARE ACCOUNTS. 
          WE ARE SO PROUD. 
          WE HAVE PAID MATERNITY PATERNITY PARENTAL LEAVE. 
          HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO DESIGNATE THAT, THAT TITLE FOR HERSELF, 16 WEEKS AND SEVEN WEEKS, WE ALSO HAVE $130 COMMUTER ALLOWANCE. 
          NOW THAT IS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE MADE ME TO GET A SHUTTLE OR WHO MAY BE TAKING THE TRAIN, OR NEED A BIT OF A SUPPORT IN HELPING TO AFFORD THAT. 
          BUT THAT IS SEPARATE FROM OUR 100% FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE TO OUR FAMILY. 
          SO IF YOU LIVE IN THE OUTER AREAS, I'LL GET FREMONT. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN LIVE IN OAKLAND OR TRACY OR STOCKED AND SEVERELY UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES. 
          WE SEND THE SHUTTLE OUT TO YOU, BRING IT TO THE FACTORY AND THEN TAKE YOU BACK TO YOUR HOME LOCATION. 
          AND WE DO THAT, UM, BASED ON THE SHIFT SCHEDULE. 
          SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MISSING THEIR SHIFTS BECAUSE WE CONTROL THE SHUTTLE. 
          WE SET A CERTAIN SCHEDULE SO WE CAN GET EVERYBODY TO AND FROM WORK. 
          SO W WE'RE SO THRILLED ABOUT THAT. 
          SO REALLY HAPPY TO SHARE WITH YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT BENEFITS AT TESLA. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ON SEVERAL OTHER OF THE PRESENTATIONS WE HAD MADE. 
          THEY, UM, THEY'RE INDIVIDUALS WITH THAT. 
          WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A VAN OR SOME SORT OF, UM, MODEST CARPOOLING. 
          UM, THIS IS WHAT SHUTTLE SERVICES AT TESLA. 
          THEY ARE AIR CONDITIONED, THEY ARE EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. 
          AND WHAT'S ALSO REALLY, WE'RE ALSO REALLY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT BEFORE YOU EVEN GET ON THE SHUTTLE. 
          SO YOU'RE IN TRACY STOCKTON, OLD GLEN, YOUR TEMPERATURE HAS TAKEN A 40 DOWN SHUTTLE. 
          YOU'RE REQUIRED TO WEAR A MASK BEFORE YOU GET ON THE SHUTTLE. 
          SO BEFORE YOU EVEN GET TO THE FACTORY, WE'RE TAKING CARE OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY, BUT IT'S ALSO A REALLY VERY COMFORTABLE, UM, COOLER RIDE. 
          AND WE'RE VERY NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AND THE CULTURE THAT WE, UM, ARE CONTINUING TO ESTABLISH A TESLA. 
          UM, AS I SAID, I LEAD THE DIVERSITY INCLUSION TEAM. 
          I'M SO PROUD OF THAT. 
          AND WE HAVE EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS, AND THESE ARE THE GROUPS THAT TESLA WHO HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER OR SHARED COMMON EXPERIENCES, SHARED COMMON GOALS. 
          AND THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, THEIR CONSTITUENTS FEEL THAT THEY HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE AT TESLA AND HAVE THE SAME CAREER ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES AS EVERYBODY ELSE. 
          AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SIX, WHICH IS REALLY PROUD OF, SO WE HAVE BLACK AND TESLA AND AM THE FORMER EXECUTIVE SPONSOR OF BLACK AND TESLA. 
          I HADN'T STEPPED DOWN. 
          WHEN I GOT PROMOTED. 
          WE ALSO HAD AN INTERSECTIONALITY AT TESLA THAT'S BURBERRY GROUP THAT DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO HAVE A LABEL, BUT WANTS TO, UM, FORM CONSTITUENCY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO ASCRIBE TO A CERTAIN LABEL, BUT STILL FEEL THAT THERE'S A COMPONENT OF CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT THAT THEY ALL SHARE. 
          WE HAVE A TINOS AT TESLA. 
          WE HAVE LGBTQ A TESLA THAT ENDS UP TESLA WOMEN AT TESLA. 
          AND WHEN I TELL YOU THESE EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS ARE VERY ACTIVE. 
          THEY ARE EXTREMELY ACTIVE. 
          WE HAVE REGULAR MEETINGS WITH TEAMS AND THAT PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN OUR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, 2020 PLAN, WHICH HE ASSAULTS. 
          AND WE JUST PUBLISHED TWO DAYS AGO, SOME CONDITIONS THAT WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE INCORPORATE INTO THE PLAN. 
          I'M REALLY THRILLED ABOUT THE INCLUSION THAT TESLA, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO, UM, ANOTHER OF THE MANY QUESTIONS WE ARE GETTING IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO WE DO, UM, ABOUT, UH, ENTRY-LEVEL, UH, PROSPECTS AND HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT THERE IS ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE? AND WE HAVE 
          [00:25:01]
A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TEAM WAS AN ENTIRE TEAM LED BY CHRIS WILEY, UM, MANY, UM, AND AWESOME. 
          I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET HIM. 
          HE IS SPECTACULAR AND HE NEEDS A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TEAM AND WE HAVE SEVERAL OBJECTIVES. 
          BUT THE KEY OBJECTIVE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A PIPELINE OF TALENT ALL THE WAY FROM, YOU KNOW, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, MIDDLE SCHOOLS, OR HIGH SCHOOL, SO THAT WHEN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GRADUATE AND THEY MAY CHOOSE FOR WHATEVER REASON, NOT TO GO TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE OR NOT TO GO TO COLLEGE, THERE'S A PIPELINE OF TALENT COMING RIGHT INTO TESLA TO GET TO PRODUCTION ASSOCIATES. 
          I THINK I NEED TO EXPLAIN THAT MANY PEOPLE THINK WE CALLED OUR PLACE FACTOR RUTGERS. 
          WE CALL THEM KABOCHA ASSOCIATES. 
          THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY BUILD THE VEHICLES AND WE HAVE A GREAT PIPELINE. 
          WE WORK, UM, UM, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, WE WORKED IN MIDDLE SCHOOLS. 
          WE HAVE STEM PROGRAMS IN PEOPLE IN ENCOURAGED AND EXCITED ABOUT STEM PROGRAMS ALL WITH THE EYE TOWARDS OF, UM, IN MY MIND, HOW COOL IT IS TO COME WORK AT TESLA AND HAVING GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. 
          UM, THERE'S A PLACE FOR YOU NEXT TIME. 
          SO JUST TO, UM, SHOW YOU HOW THE TRUST BREAKS DOWN, UM, AND HOW WE DO OUR HIRING. 
          AND THAT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE. 
          AGAIN, A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE ARE THE, WHERE ARE THE JOBS AVAILABLE AND WHERE DID THEY GO? AND, AND ADI REALLY LOCALS NUMBER ONE, OVER 90% OF THESE ROLES ARE IN THE MODEL. 
          SO THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, WILL THEY, WEREN'T SUCCESSFUL IN NEVADA AND DIDN'T KEEP THE PROMISES IN THE HUNDRED PERCENT NOT TRUE. 
          AND THE FACTS ARE WHAT THEY ARE. 
          SO IN NEVADA, 53% OF OUR, UM, OUR EMPLOYEES ARE PRODUCTION ASSOCIATES, 10% ARE MATERIALS, HAMMERS. 
          I MEAN, 18% OF TECHNICIANS, 12% ENGINEERING AND ADMINISTRATION, AND 6% LEADERSHIP THAT JUST GIVES YOU A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT, UM, TYPICAL GIGAFACTORY STRUCTURE COULD LOOK LIKE. 
          BUT CLEARLY YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE JOBS FROM ENTRY LEVEL HIGH SCHOOL, ALL THE WAY TO PHD AND, UH, WHAT IS SO COOL ABOUT US COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER TECH COMPANIES. 
          YOU DON'T NEED A PHD TO EXCEL AT TESLA. 
          HE JUST FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, A WILLINGNESS TO WORK HARD. 
          WE NEED PROMOTE, UM, THE 63% OF OUR PROMOTIONS IN THE LAST YEAR OF PRODUCTION ASSOCIATES. 
          UM, SO, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN GO HARD AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A PHD OR MASTER'S DEGREE, EVEN A BACHELOR'S DEGREE TO DO IT. 
          WE CERTAINLY SUPPORT THOSE WHO WANT TO CONTINUE THE EDUCATION, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT REALLY CLEAR AS WELL. 
          EXCELLENT. 
          SO, UM, JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A SNAPSHOT, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING FROM, YOU KNOW, HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGIATE PIPELINES, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, UM, A PHENOMENAL STEM PROGRAM. 
          WE CREATE ROBOTICS TEAMS AND SCHOOLS. 
          UM, ONE OF OUR CHAMPION ROBOTICS TEAM, UM, CREATORS FROM HIGH SCHOOL IS NOW I'M EMPLOYED AT TESLA. 
          WE HAVE K THROUGH 12 PARTNERSHIPS, UM, IN NEVADA THAT WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF. 
          AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR SUCCESS AND OUR INTEGRATION WITH THE COMMUNITY, IT JUST SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, BUT REAL, REAL EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE'VE DONE AND THE PROSPECTS AND THE OPPORTUNITIES WITH DEL VALLEY ARE SO EXCITING TO US BECAUSE WE CAN REPLICATE, UM, EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE IN NEVADA, I'M SPECIFIC TO DEL VALLEY. 
          AND IF THIS, ALL THOSE THROUGH, WE COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED TO BE WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THERE WE SUPPORT, OF COURSE, LIKE I SAID EARLIER, YOU KNOW, HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA AND A WILLINGNESS TO WORK, AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO, TO BECOME A PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH, FOR CONTINUE EDUCATION SO THAT WE CAN HELP OUR, OUR EMPLOYEES ARE ALSO STUDENTS, UM, TO GET THEIR COMMUNITY COLLEGE DEGREE, UM, OR THEIR UNIVERSITY OR THEIR FOUR YEAR DEGREE. 
          UM, AND WE HAVE SPECIAL PROGRAMS THAT WE PARTNER WITH COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, WE'LL TRAIN INDIVIDUALS TO BECOME OUR SERVICE TEAM MEMBERS. 
          THEY GET INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOL. 
          THEY LEARN HOW TO SERVICE OUR VEHICLES. 
          AND AS YOU WANT, AND LEARNING HOW TO SERVICE A TESLA VEHICLE IS A STEM JOB, NOT JUST A MANUFACTURING JOB BECAUSE OF THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY THAT GOES INTO OUR VEHICLES RIGHT NOW, 80 GRADUATES ARE GRADUATED FROM THAT PROGRAM WHO ARE NOW HIGHLY INTO OUR SERVICE LOCATIONS. 
          AND WE HAVE SIMON DAYS, D ONE ATHLETES GRADUATE. 
          THEY GET CELEBRATED AT HIGH SCHOOLS AND THEY HAVE THIS BIG FANFARE. 
          THEY ASSIGNED ME DAYS NOT EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE A DEAN, ONE ATHLETE. 
          UM, AND THE GREAT THING ABOUT TESLA IS WHEN WE HAVE OUR SIGNING DAYS AND WE HAVE THE HATS AND THE CAPS AND THE HOUSE AND THE GUARDIANS, AND THEY'RE ALL TO CELEBRATE THE SUCCESS OF THEIR STUDENTS WHO GOING ON TO WITH THAT. 
          BUT I THINK WE ALL THINK IT'S THE COOLEST COMPANY ON THE PLANET. 
          WE CELEBRATE THOSE ACHIEVEMENTS HERE, AND WE LOVE, LOVE ABOUT THAT. 
          THE T SHIRT THAT HAD THE FANFARE, 
          [00:30:01]
YOU KNOW, THE WELCOME TO TESLA, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A D ONE ATHLETES HAVE TO HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. 
          UM, SO WE LOVE THAT. 
          WE DO THAT. 
          AND AGAIN, JUST THE PIPELINE IS CRITICAL. 
          AND TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS THAT I, THAT I HEARD, THAT WE DON'T WE'LL LEAD HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, JUST FROM A PURE BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE. 
          THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE IS COMING FROM. 
          IN MANUFACTURING. 
          WE NEED THIS PIPELINE. 
          THIS IS A BUSINESS IMPERATIVE, WHETHER YOU THINK IT'S ALTRUISTIC OR MERCENARY M AND A, WE CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE. 
          SO WE THINK IT'S A GREAT CAREER OPPORTUNITY FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. 
          WE NEED THIS PIPELINE. 
          SO TRUST ME, WHEN I TELL YOU THAT THE SECOND WE DECIDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BEAM AND THE DEALS ALL NGS, WE'RE GOING RIGHT INTO THE HIGH SCHOOLS AND PROMOTING TESTS BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE PIPELINE IS COMING FROM. 
          AND AS I SAID EARLIER, THE PROMOTIONS, WE ARE SO EXCITED. 
          63% OF OUR PROMOTIONS COME FROM PRODUCTION ASSOCIATES. 
          THEY LOOK TO THE SUPERVISOR MANAGER, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN BE A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE. 
          AND 10 YEARS LATER, YOU CAN BE RUNNING A FACTORY AT TESLA. 
          WE ARE SO PROUD THAT THAT'S THE TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY YOU OFFER TO EVERYONE WHO JOINS THE COMPANY. 
          SO, AND THEN OF COURSE, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE YOUR EDUCATION, COLLEGE DEGREES, COLLEGE DEGREES. 
          THAT'S ALL VERY IMPORTANT, BUT THIS SCHOOL I'M APPLYING FOR US LOOKS FINE. 
          SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALSO DO, UM, WE HAVE INFORMATION SESSIONS, UH, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE TEACHERS IN THE COMMUNITY KNOW ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES AT TABLA. 
          SO WE HAVE GREAT INFORMATION SESSIONS WHERE WE EDUCATE TEACHERS ON THE CAREERS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEIR STUDENTS. 
          THAT'S A GREAT RECRUITING TOOL FOR US. 
          SO WE GIVE INFORMATION SESSIONS ON CAREERS AND MOBILITY TYPES OF ROLES I'M WATCHING. 
          CHRONOLOGY IS DIFFERENT. 
          SO, UM, WELL FIRST EXPLAIN THE, WHAT IS, WHAT IS THE MATERIALS HANDLERS THAT ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO LOOK AT POSSIBILITIES AND THAT TESLA ALSO SO PROUD OF OUR GIGAFACTORY. 
          AND THERE IS, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE THINGS I'VE SEEN IN THE MEDIA ABOUT TESLA FACTORY, WE HAVE 40,000 VISITORS A YEAR COMING TO FREMONT. 
          IT IS THE COOLEST EXPERIENCE. 
          YOU GET TO RIDE A TREND, YOU GET TO ACTUALLY SEE THE VEHICLES BEING MADE. 
          IT IS OUR CROWD. 
          THERE ARE CROWNING JEWEL, SILVER FOR PEOPLE TO SAY THAT SOMEHOW, UM, IT'S NOT A SAFE PLACE TO BE, OR A COMFORTABLE TO BE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT IS AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE. 
          IT'S KIND OF A COVENANT MEDITATION STUDENTS. 
          WE, WE WELCOME. 
          WHAT'S UP TALKING ABOUT GIVING BACK AND VISITS IS ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT WE DO AT TESLA. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, I TALKED ABOUT THE SIGNING DAYS. 
          THAT'S A REALLY COOL PICTURE RIGHT THERE. 
          ONE OF MY SHAME AND THINGS THAT WE DO CELEBRATE THE FACT THAT WHEN YOU GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND YOU'RE GOING ON TO A CAREER WHEN POSSIBLY, YOU KNOW, BEST WHAT IS THE BEST COMPANY I THINK ON THE PLANET. 
          UM, AND THIS IS SOME PICTURES OF THE GRADUATES AND THE PARTNERSHIPS. 
          BUT WHAT I LOVE ABOUT US IS WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE UP OR CONTEND OR COBBLED TOGETHER SOMETHING TO TELL A COMMUNITY, LOOK, THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO. 
          YOU KNOW, IF YOU DECIDE TO, TO WORK WITH US, OTHER TECH COMPANIES HAVE TO DO THAT. 
          THEY HAVE TO MAKE UP PROGRAMS. THEY HAVE TO FORM COMMITTEES AND LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. 
          WE ALREADY HAVE ALL THIS IN PLACE, AND OF COURSE WE'D NEED TO CUSTOMIZE WHAT WE DO FOR AUSTIN. 
          SHOULD WE CHOOSE A LOCATION, BUT WE DON'T NEED TO MAKE ANYTHING OUT. 
          THIS IS WHO WE ARE. 
          THIS IS WHAT WE DO. 
          AND WE'RE INCREDIBLY PROUD, INCREDIBLY TIGHT. 
          I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR BENEFITS AND OUR HIGH SCHOOL PIPELINE OF DIVERSITY INCLUSION, EVERYTHING. 
          BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IT, YOU KNOW, WE LOVE HIM. 
          HE LOVES WHERE WE WERE AND, UM, POSSIBILITIES OF A LOCATION LIKE THIS AREA FOR WHAT WE CAN DO FOR THE COMMUNITY IS WHAT REALLY GETS US ALL EXCITED. 
          CAUSE WE CARE ABOUT TRANSFORMING THE PLANET AND THIS IS A WAY TO TRANSFORM OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO HOPEFULLY THIS CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS A STAFF, COLLEAGUES, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THERE? I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE PRESENTATION FOR THE STAFF SO THAT WE CAN NOT ASK SOME QUESTIONS. 
          THE ANSWERS WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT THE SITE. 
          HI MAYOR. 
          HI, IT'S JERRY RUSS OVER FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT. 
          AND IF WE COULD GO AHEAD AND PULL THE OUTSIDE SHOW UP, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          UM, I'M JOINED TODAY BY, UM, AS RODNEY MENTIONED, ANDY LYNN SIZING, THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. 
          WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE, UM, UM, THE SITE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ON THE 
          [00:35:01]
PROPERTY, AS WELL AS THE PERMIT REVIEW PROCESS. 
          UM, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          UM, AS WELL HAD MENTIONED THE SITE, THE EXISTING SITE IS A GRAVEL, MINE AND CONCRETE PLAN, WHICH IS ABOUT THE, UH, ONE OF THE LEAST DESIRABLE USES. 
          YOU CAN IMAGINE FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL PERSPECTIVE, UM, THE MINING OPERATIONS ARE ONGOING OUT THERE AS WELL. 
          UH, WE HAVE AN EXISTING APPLICATION ON THIS PROPERTY, WHICH IS THE AUSTIN GREENCARD, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THAT PART. 
          I'M FIRST READING IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. 
          UH, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE CITY'S ETJ AND UNDER STATE LAW AND CITY CODE POD IS THE ONE ZONING CATEGORY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO APPLY OUTSIDE OF THE CITIES CITY LIMITS. 
          AND WE CAN ACTUALLY USE THE TOOL IN THE ETJ. 
          UM, WHAT WE ANTICIPATE HAPPENING HERE, IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET IS A TESLA WOULD FILE AN AMENDED APPLICATION. 
          THE STAFF WOULD NEED SOME TIME TO REVIEW THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE SOME PROCEDURAL ISSUES THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH, UH, TO DEAL WITH THE, UH, THE CHANGE FROM THE EXISTING APPLICATION TO, UM, WHAT TESLA MAY FILE, UM, UPON OUR REVIEW OF THAT, WE WOULD THEN BRING IT BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL, UM, FOR FINAL APPROVAL. 
          I DON'T HAVE A DATE FOR THAT YET BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO RECEIVE THIS MIDDLE FROM TESLA AND FOR THE STAFF TO REVIEW IT. 
          UH, THE STAFF THAT'S REVIEWING, IT INCLUDES CHRIS HARRINGTON, THE CITY'S ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICER. 
          UM, HE HAS BEEN CUED IN ON THESE CONVERSATIONS AS WELL AS ANDY FROM DSD AND MYSELF. 
          UM, ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT IS THAT, UM, ALTHOUGH WE CAN DO A PROJECT IN THE ETJ, IT WOULD PROBABLY ALSO BE POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO USE THE GIGAFACTORY WITHOUT DOING THE POD AND JUST HAVE THE PROPERTY IN THE ETJ, THE DIFFERENCES THAT THEY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO GO SEE ENVIRONMENTAL VARIANCES. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          AS FAR AS REVIEW GOES, I'M IN THE SPIRIT OF HOUSE BILL 1445, WHICH WAS ALSO KNOWN AS THE SINGLE OFFICE. 
          UH, THE CITY OF LAWSON WILL WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH TRAVIS COUNTY ON A REVIEW PROCESS FOR THIS SITE TO ENSURE A THOROUGH AND EXPEDIENT REVIEW, UM, CONSISTENT WITH OUR AUTHORITY IN THE ETJ. 
          THE CITY'S REVIEW WOULD FOCUS UPON WATER QUALITY CONTROLS AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. 
          UM, AND I GET OUT LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THERE ARE EXISTING MINING OPERATIONS OCCURRING OUT THERE. 
          THERE ARE EARNED VALID MINING PERMITS AT A PART OF A MINING PERMIT IS AN OBLIGATION TO DO RECLAMATION, TO FIX THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE BY THE GRAVEL OPERATIONS. 
          SO THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED UNDER THE EXISTING MINING PERMITS TO GO OUT, BEGIN THAT RECLAMATION WORK, WHICH WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP OF PREPARING THE SITE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO THAT CAN OCCUR TODAY WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL PERMISSION FROM THE, UH, THE CITY OR THE COUNTY. 
          UM, BUT WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT THEY'LL PROBABLY BE COMING IN, UM, POSSIBLY WITH AN AMENDED APPLICATION FOR THE PROPERTY AND WITH THAT ANDY AND I ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS, MAYOR PRO TEM. 
          YEAH. 
          ANY OTHER PRESENTATIONS AND THEY'RE PROTESTING. 
          I, OKAY. 
          UM, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE JERRY? YOU SAID THAT IF THEY DON'T DO A PUD, IT WOULD, IT WOULD REQUIRE ENVIRONMENT. 
          ARROGANCE IS WHAT, WHAT ARE THOSE VARIANCES THAT WOULD WITH MURDER TIME? WE DO NOT KNOW YET, UM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT FILED AN AMENDED APPLICATION WITH US. 
          UM, A GOOD CLUE OF WHAT VARIANCES THOSE WOULD BE. 
          IF THEY FILED THE AMENDED APPLICATION, IT WOULD IDENTIFY WHATEVER MODIFICATIONS THEY WOULD NEED THROUGH THE PUD, WHICH IS ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING THE WORD VARIANCE. 
          SO, UM, WHATEVER THEY SUBMIT WITH THE POD THAT SAY THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MODIFIED THAT WOULD BE THOSE THINGS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO, UM, GO SEE WHERE IF THEY DID NOT DO THE FINE, WE DO NOT YET KNOW. 
          I IMAGINE THAT THE, UM, ALMOST ALL OF, AND PROBABLY FOCUSED ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL. 
          CAN YOU GIVE AN EXAMPLE? I UNDERSTAND NOT KNOWING, BUT LIKE WHAT POSSIBLE VARIANCES THOSE COULD BE. 
          A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH, UM, BASICALLY RESTORING THE SITE, UM, FROM ONE, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE THE RECLAMATION PERMIT, UM, BECAUSE THE SITE WAS MINE, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BIG HOLES IN THE GROUND AND BIG FILES OF THINGS. 
          SO THINGS LIKE CUTTING FILL AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, THERE'S ALSO, UM, UM, DRAINAGE ISSUES HAVE REVOLVING AROUND THE FACT THAT THE STATE MODIFIED THE DRAINAGE PATTERNS WHEN 
          [00:40:01]
THEY QUIT THE FEDERAL ROAD OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. 
          AND SO THERE WERE PROBABLY BE SOME REROUTING OF THE WATER. 
          THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL WAY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, CAN YOU PUT THAT LAST LINE UP? I HAD A QUESTION ON THAT SLIDE WHERE IT SAYS CONSISTENT WITH OUR AUTHORITY IN THE TJ. 
          WE WILL REVIEW YOU FOR PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY WATER QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS. 
          CAN YOU TELL ME WHY? SURE. 
          THE, UM, THE CITY HAS CERTAIN AUTHORITY IN THE ETJ AND TURN IT ALREADY. 
          WE LACK. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WE LACK, UM, LAND USE CONTROLS, FOR EXAMPLE, ALSO LEARN THE ZONING. 
          UM, BUT WE DO HAVE, UM, REGULATORY AUTHORITY OVER ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. 
          SO, UM, EVEN IF THEY CAME IN AND DID THE PUG, OR FRANKLY, EVEN WITHOUT THE POD, UM, THE CITY'S REVIEW AUTHORITY ON THIS WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH WATER QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL, TRAVIS COUNTY WOULD DEAL WITH ISSUES SUCH AS THE ACTUAL BUILDING, PERMITS, TRAFFIC, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THOSE WERE ALL MY QUESTIONS FOR STUFF FOR OUR STAFF, BUT I I'LL PASS IT OUT IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR OUR STUFF. 
          I THINK I'VE READ YOUR LIPS. 
          YEAH. 
          I, UH, I'M NOT QUITE WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TODAY. 
          UM, W IT WAS A VERY LOVELY PRESENTATION BY THE TESLA FOLKS. 
          UM, BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE ANY OF THAT INFORMATION IS RELATED TO WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ASKED TO DELIBERATE APPARENTLY IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DETAILS BEING PROVIDED TO US TODAY ABOUT WHAT, WHAT ACTIONS THE COUNCIL IS GOING TO BE ASKED, WHAT ACTIONS THE CITY IS GOING TO BE ASKED TO TAKE. 
          AND I, SO I'M NOT QUITE SURE CITY MANAGER, WHAT YOUR INTENTION WAS BY SETTING THIS BRIEFING UP. 
          BECAUSE MY, MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT WE END UP WITH, UH, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CONFLATING DECISIONS MADE BY TRAVIS COUNTY WITH DECISIONS THAT THE COUNCIL MAY BE PRESENTED WITH. 
          BECAUSE TO BE VERY CLEAR, WE ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO DO A TAX ABATEMENT BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT EXIST IN THE CITY'S TEXTING AUTHORITY. 
          SO I'VE ALREADY SEEN ARTICLES THAT START WITH TWO MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA THAT ARE WATCHING. 
          I'VE ALREADY SEEN ARTICLES, START WITH THE SENTENCE, AUSTIN GRANTS, TAX ABATEMENT. 
          AND THEN THE THIRD SENTENCE SAYS, TRAVIS COUNTY WRITE THIS. 
          THIS IS THE TYPE OF CONFUSION THAT I'M ALREADY SEEING HAPPEN IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO KNOW I WOULD REALLY PREFER THAT WE STAY FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES THAT ARE UP TO THE COUNCIL. 
          AND, UH, IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY DETAILS TO TALK ABOUT TODAY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO TALK ABOUT. 
          UM, AND FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THIS DEAL, UH, PLEASE DIRECT YOUR COMMENTS TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION FOR JERRY. 
          I THINK, UM, I WANTED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND IF AN ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE ON THIS SIDE. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A MINING USE RIGHT NOW, AND THAT HAS IMPLICATIONS. 
          UM, BUT I'M WONDERING IF, WHAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS HAS BEEN DONE AND ARE WE AWARE OF ANY, UM, CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES THAT EXIST FOR, UM, WATER QUALITY IMPACTS OF BUILDING IN THIS SITE? OH, COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          UM, OBVIOUSLY, UM, A LOT OF THAT WOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICER, BUT WHAT I CAN SAY IS THAT WE HAVE DONE A VERY THOROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW, BUT THAT WAS FOR THE AUSTIN GREEN APPLICATION. 
          AND SO WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE AND ALL THE, UM, PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITE. 
          UM, WHAT'S TO BE DETERMINED IS WHAT WOULD I BE ASKING TO DO WITH THE EXISTING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, OR WE'RE ALREADY WELL AWARE OF, WE DON'T HAVE THAT, UM, REQUESTS FROM TESLA YET. 
          SO WE HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEYING OF THE PROPERTY, AND WE'RE AWARE OF WHAT'S OUT THERE AND THE CRITICAL VERBAL FEATURES OF DRAINAGE WAYS, ET CETERA. 
          UM, BUT WHAT WE DON'T HAVE YET IS WHAT EXACTLY HOW IT'S GOING TO CHANGE THAT, OR WHAT MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE ASKING FOR VERSUS THE EXISTING APPLICATION THIS, OR, I DON'T KNOW IF CHRIS IS ON THE LINE. 
          I DON'T THINK HE'S, I DON'T KNOW. 
          I DON'T THINK HE'S ON THE LINE, BUT, UM, PROVIDE YOU WITH THE STAFF REPORT FROM THE FIRST READING OF THE OFFER. 
          GREEN CARD WOULD BE A DIFFERENT APPLICATION THAN WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, BUT IT WOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF, OF WHAT'S ALREADY OUT THERE, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          OKAY. 
          I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING, UM, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES APPROPRIATELY AND UNDERSTANDING THE IMPLICATIONS 
          [00:45:01]
OF ANY BUILDING THAT HAPPENS THERE. 
          UM, AND THEN I JUST ALSO WANT TO ECHO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER FLANAGAN HAS SAID. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DETAILS TODAY ABOUT WHAT OUR DECISION IS, UM, AND THEY'RE REALLY SORT OF SEPARATE, UM, DECISIONS. 
          AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING MORE DETAILS AND I HOPE THAT, UM, TESLA PURCHASED THIS PROJECT, UM, IN LINE WITH, UM, THEIR CORPORATE VALUES AND IN LINE WITH, UM, THINGS THAT THE CITY OF AUSTIN, UM, TRAVIS COUNTY CARE ABOUT SO THAT THIS CAN BE MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL FOR ALL OF US AND HAVE THAT POTENTIAL JOSEPH MEMBER POOL AND COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN. 
          THANKS SO MUCH. 
          AND THANKS TO THE FOLKS FROM TESLA WITH ME HERE TODAY, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR NO FIRST, I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION OF TESLA AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SITE IT'S ON THE COLORADO RIVER. 
          AND, UM, YOU RECOGNIZE THE CONCERNS OR ANY TOXIC MATERIALS THAT MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN THE MANUFACTURING CARS, JUST AN AFFIRMING AFFIRMATION OF THAT. 
          AT THIS POINT, I'D BE LOOKING FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO ENSURING THAT THE WATER QUALITY, UM, OF ANY, UM, ANYTHING THAT'S PRODUCED AT THE FACTORY WOULD NOT DEGRADE THE QUALITY OF THE GROUNDWATER AND THE RIVER. 
          I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT SOCIAL QUESTION VERY QUICKLY, UM, WHICH IS JUST, WE HAVEN'T, WE HAVEN'T PICKED A SITE, WE DON'T HAVE DESIGN PLANS. 
          WE HAVE NOT DONE ENGINEERING TO KNOW EVERY, EVERY DETAIL, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THOUGH, IS WE HAVE OTHER FACTORIES IN THE WORLD AND WE PUT OUT A PRETTY DETAILED INFORMATION IN AN IMPACT REPORT THAT DEALS WITH THOSE QUESTIONS, BOTH IN TERMS OF WATER QUALITY, IN TERMS OF RECYCLING, BOTH THE PRODUCTS AND ANYTHING THAT'S COMING OUT OF THE FACTORY. 
          SO WE, WE ARE, WE'RE NOT JUST COMMITTED TO IT. 
          WE WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE'VE DONE PREVIOUSLY, SO THAT YOU, YOU HAVE A SENSE OF, OKAY, I'M NOT JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME, UM, SOME COMMITMENT HERE, THIS EMPTY, BUT TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE DONE ELSEWHERE. 
          I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT TO YOUR MANAGER MANAGER, QUANTA, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A SENSE OF WHAT WE'VE DONE ELSEWHERE. 
          THAT'S THAT'S GREAT. 
          UM, WHAT IS, UH, JUST GENERALLY HOW MANY SQUARE FEET WOULD THE BUILDING GATE, IF YOU WORK YOU'RE SITE HERE? PRETTY GOOD. 
          YEAH, THE IT'S GOING TO BE MANY MILLION SQUARE FEET. 
          I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY, BUT IT'LL BE MANY MILLION SQUARE FEET. 
          IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE LARGER FACTORIES IN THE WORLD. 
          OKAY. 
          SO MAYBE ONSITE TREATMENT OF THE WATER IN ANY OF THE, UM, WHATEVER'S PRODUCED ON THE SIDE AND SO FORTH WOULD CERTAINLY BE A PART OF THE CONSIDERATION AND INCLUDED, UH, IN YOUR, IN YOUR BUILDING PLANS. 
          OKAY. 
          I SEE NODDING HIS HEAD. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          UM, SO, AND I WILL, I'LL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THE WATER QUALITY PROTECTIONS PIECE. 
          UM, AS THIS MOVES FORWARD, I RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE LIMITED IN WHAT WE CAN ASK AND SO FORTH. 
          I'LL DO IT. 
          IT DOES OCCUR TO ME THAT AT SOME POINT, MAYBE IF THIS ISN'T THE TJ, THAT THERE WOULD BE AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE A CITY MAY FIND IT BENEFICIAL TO YOUR CITY OPERATIONS AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, TO THIS PARTICULAR, I GUESS IT'S A COUPLE OF THOUSAND ACRES. 
          IS THAT RIGHT? RICHARD, MAYBE YOU HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON THAT. 
          THAT'S JUST OVER A COUPLE OF THOUSAND ACRES. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, AND I'LL JUST LEAVE THAT OUT THERE AS A, AS A POSSIBLE ITEM FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION, THE KITCHEN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, UH, JERRY, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE PROCESS, SO, AND TIMING. 
          SO, UM, AS I'M, AS I, IF I'M UNDERSTANDING THE PRESENTATION, THE, UH, THERE IS NO APPLICATION YET TO AMEND THAT PUD. 
          SO AM I UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY THAT WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN IS EITHER THAT PUD HAS TO BE AMENDED OR IT GOES AWAY? I MEAN, IS IT TRUE? IS IT, ARE WE TALKING SPECIFICALLY THAT THE, THE, THE TESLA LAND IS A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THAT PUD OR IS 
          [00:50:01]
THERE A POTENTIAL FOR US TO SEE SOME DIVISION THERE? SO HELP ME UNDERSTAND. 
          AND THE REASON I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT IS BECAUSE AS YOU SAID, WE'VE ALREADY PROVED ON FIRST READING THAT THE GREEN PUD. 
          SO I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN WITH THAT PARTICULAR ITEM. 
          AND ALSO WHILE YOU'RE SPEAKING TO IT, TELL US THE TIMING. 
          WHEN WAS IT COME BACK TO US AND IS THAT TIMING JUST SUSPENDED OR IS THERE A TIME FRAME THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT A DETERMINATION ON WHETHER THE POET'S GOING TO BE AMENDED OR THERE'S GOING TO BE A REQUEST FOR PARENTS FOR COUNCIL MEMBER? THE, UM, THE EXISTING AUSTIN GREEN POD WAS APPROVED AT FIRST READING, LIKE I SAID, BACK IN MARCH, UM, THE CODE STATES THAT YOU HAVE, UH, APPLICANT HAS 360 DAYS. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S NOT THREE 65, IT'S 360 DAYS FOR THE DATA FIRST RATING APPROVAL TO COME BACK FOR A SECOND AND THIRD. 
          SO I STARTED TAKING IN MARCH WITH WRITER'S BLOCK. 
          UM, WE GENERALLY DO NOT, UM, PRESS APPLICANTS TO COME BACK ON SECOND AND THIRD. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT'S THROUGH A REQUEST OF THE CITY. 
          AND SO IT'S KIND OF UP TO THEM WHEN THEY WANT TO COME BACK. 
          NOW, THERE ARE, OF COURSE ARE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, OBVIOUSLY PREPARE AN ORDINANCE TO ADDRESS ISSUES AND QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS RAISED YOUR FIRST READING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          BUT WE DO NOT FORCE SECOND, THIRD READING. 
          I FIND SOMEBODY. 
          SO THE APPLICANT AT AUSTIN GREEN, HE HAS NOT ASKED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SECOND AND THIRD READING YET. 
          AND LIKE I SAID, THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, UP TO 360 DAYS TO DO SALARY, TO HAVE TO BE APPROVED BEFORE THAT 360TH DAY. 
          UM, AS FAR AS WHETHER THEY WOULD BE TESLA WOULD BE FILING AMENDMENTS ON THE ENTIRE PROPERTY OR PORTION THEREOF, I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT SUBMITTED ANYTHING YET. 
          SO, UM, THAT WOULD BE, UM, UP TO THEM UP TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AND TESLA, I GUESS, UM, HOW THAT, HOW THAT WOULD WORK OUT. 
          I HAVE NO IDEA. 
          UM, BUT, UM, THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE SOME PROCEDURAL ISSUES. 
          SO WE'D HAVE TO DEAL WITH, UM, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AUSTIN GREEN POD AND THE NEW POD OR THE, THE TEXTBOOK VERSION, IF YOU WILL. 
          AND WE'D PROBABLY HAVE A VIEW, A RE NOTIFICATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          UM, BUT THOSE ARE KIND OF INTERNAL STAFF PROCESSING ISSUES. 
          UM, BUT WE ANTICIPATE THAT IF TESLA DOES FILE, YOU KNOW, UM, AN AMENDED APPLICATION ON THE PROPERTY, WE OF COURSE WOULD REVIEW IT. 
          AND THEN WE BRING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. 
          WHEN, WHEN WE'RE READY, IF I'M THAT WE SHOW THAT REVIEW. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO IN THE PODS, IN THE ETJ HAVE TO MEET THE SAME REQUIREMENTS AS OUR PUTTS WITHIN THE CITY. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? IN TERMS OF THINGS LIKE SUPERIORITY AND ALL THOSE VARIOUS REQUIREMENTS THEY DO, BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT WHENEVER WE'RE DOING A FROG, WE'RE COMPARING, WHAT'S ALLOWED THERE TODAY VERSUS WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING IN THE FUND. 
          SO IF TESLA WERE TO FILE THIS APPLICATION THAT WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT, I THINK WE'D BE LOOKING AT TWO THINGS, ONE COMPARING IT TO WHAT'S ALLOWED THERE TODAY, WHICH IS LIMITED BECAUSE IT'S IN THE ETJ. 
          SO WE WOULD BE COMPARING WHAT'S ALLOWED DCJ VERSUS WHAT THEY'RE ASKING TO MODIFY, WHICH IS WHAT HAS ALLOWED ME TO SAY. 
          AND THEN THE SECOND PART IS THAT THE, UM, WE'D ALSO BE LOOKING AT WHAT THE PROPERTY IS USED FOR TODAY, WHICH IS LIKE I SAID, A MINING OPERATION, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE LEAST DESIRABLE ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATION. 
          SO ALMOST ANYTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ENVIRONMENTALLY, I DON'T MEAN ANYTHING, BUT YOU CAN PROBABLY ONLY GO UP HERE ON BARTON, EMILY. 
          UM, AND SO WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT THAT SITUATION AS WELL AS COMPARING TO WHAT'S ALLOWED TO BE THE CITY DOES HAVE, AS I SAID, ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORITY IN TECH, WHEN, WHEN THE, WHEN THE STATE GAVE US 40, THEY RECOGNIZE THE WATER DOESN'T STOP AT JURISDICTIONAL LINES. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, WATER FLOWS FROM ONE JURISDICTION TO ANOTHER, AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORITY IN THE ETJ. 
          AND SO IF THEY NEEDED ANY ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATIONS, THAT WOULD BE A WAY TO DO IT. 
          THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO GO ASK FOR VARIANCES AND THAT, SO ONE LAST QUESTION, UM, YIELD TO OTHERS. 
          BUT, UM, WHAT ABOUT THE, IF, IF THERE'S, UH, UH, A DECISION TO MAKE, TO GO DOWN THE PATH ON A VARIANCE ON VARIANCES, IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR TIMELINE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT FROM THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE? UM, NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF, BUT I HAVE TO CHECK THE MR. HARRIS. 
          I KNOW THAT THEY WOULD GO TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD, UM, AS OPPOSED TO THE PUCK, WHICH WOULD PROPOSE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS THAT WOULD GET IDENTICAL, THOSE VARIANCES WHEN NEED BE PROVIDED TO THE COUNCIL, THE VARIOUS ROUTE WOULD GO TO THE PERMISSION. 
          I'M SURE THAT THE VARIOUS IS IF THEY WERE APPROVED BY THE ENVIRONMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD IS HAVE A TIMELINE WITHIN A PERIOD OF A YEAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN PROBABLY. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, I HAVE I SHARE THE, UM, THE, THE COMMENTS THAT, UH, OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE MADE WITH REGARD TO A LOT OF QUALITY AND THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT, UM, THAT I WILL BE LOOKING FOR. 
          AND, UM, LOOKING TO THE WORK THAT MY COLLEAGUES ARE DOING ON THAT. 
          UM, I ALSO SHARE THE COMMENTS ABOUT, 
          [00:55:01]
UM, OUR, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR VALUES AS A CITY, UH, RELATED TO, UM, YOU KNOW, RELATED TO A WHOLE RANGE OF THINGS, SPECIFICALLY WORKERS AND WORKERS, PROTECT WORKER PROTECTIONS, AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 
          I WANT TO ASK ONE SPECIFIC QUESTION SINCE IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS MADE TO US WITH TESLA, UH, ON EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, UM, BECAUSE IT'S OUT THERE AS PART OF THIS PRESENTATION. 
          I JUST WANT SOME CLARIFICATION. 
          I KNOW THAT'S NOT IN FRONT OF US AND THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER FLANAGAN PROGRAM POINT THAT YOU MADE, BUT COULD YOU JUST CLARIFY FOR ME, BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED ALL THE BENEFITS, INCLUDING HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS, ET CETERA FOR EMPLOYEES. 
          CAN YOU CLARIFY FOR ME THAT THOSE ALSO ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY TEMPORARY OR PART TIME OR NOT PERMANENT EMPLOYEES? UM, WHAT HAPPENS A LOT OF TIMES THAT I ALWAYS LOOK FOR, AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING THIS IS THE CASE WITH TESLA, BUT WHAT ALWAYS CONCERNS ME IS, AND CAN HAPPEN WITH SOME COMPANIES IS THEY'RE VERY GOOD. 
          THEY'RE VERY GOOD FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES, BUT THEN AS PORTIONS OF THEIR WORKFORCE ARE EITHER PART TIME, WHICH A LOT OF TIMES DOESN'T CARRY A HEALTH INSURANCE WITH IT, OR THEY'RE TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT IN SOME WAY. 
          AND SO, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I ALWAYS LIKE TO UNDERSTAND ACROSS THE FULL, THE FULL GAMUT OF EVERYBODY THAT'S WORKING FOR A COMPANY IN ONE, IN ONE ROLE OR ANOTHER. 
          SO BECAUSE YOU PUT THE SLIDE UP THERE, I DON'T WANT TO GO AWAY WITH ANY MISUNDERSTANDING ON MY PART ABOUT THE DEGREE TO WHICH THOSE BENEFITS ARE MADE AVAILABLE. 
          SO CAN, CAN YOU SPEAK, AND NOW MAYBE I CAN TAKE THIS REAL QUICK FIRST. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. 
          THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT GO INTO THAT ONE IS THAT WE DO HAVE SOME CONTINGENT WORKFORCE. 
          IT'S A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE WORKFORCE AT TESLA. 
          UH, OF COURSE WE WANT EVERYBODY TO BE DIRECT EMPLOYEES BECAUSE IT'S BETTER FOR, IT'S BETTER FOR US. 
          IT'S BETTER FOR TRAINING. 
          IT'S BETTER FOR CONTINUITY. 
          IT'S BETTER FOR PRODUCTION. 
          IT'S BETTER FOR EVERYTHING. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE GOAL, UM, FOR CONTRACTS THAT WE DO IN CONTINGENT WORK FOR FOREST, WHETHER IT'S IN BUFFALO OR NEVADA OR CALIFORNIA, THERE'S THERE'S, BUT ONE THING THAT IS, UH, IS CONSISTENT ACROSS THE BOARD IS THAT THE HEALTH CARE BENEFITS. 
          AND WE ACTUALLY PUT THAT, UM, AS A PART OF THE COUNTY AGREEMENT, UH, WE PUT THAT IN THERE JUST TO GIVE FOLKS EVEN MORE ASSURANCE THAT, UH, IN FACT, ANYBODY THAT WAS A CONTINGENT WORKER WOULD ALSO HAVE THOSE, THOSE HEALTH CARE AND BENEFITS AS WELL, BUT THERE ARE VARYING DIFFERENT BENEFITS DEPENDING ON WHAT CONTINGENT WORKFORCE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          AND, UM, I THINK THE WAGES ON THE WAGES SIDE, AGAIN, SAME THING, UM, THERE'S A FLOOR BUILT INTO THE COUNTY AGREEMENT OF $15 AN HOUR FOR ANYONE THAT IS GOING TO BE COUNTED TOWARDS THE JOB REQUIREMENT. 
          UM, THE THERE'S AN ESCALATOR BUILT IN, WHICH IS ACTUALLY ABOVE AND BEYOND THE COUNTY POLICY, THE COUNTY STANDARD POLICY. 
          SO THERE'S AN ESCALATOR EVERY YEAR, THAT IS THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S A, THAT'S ANOTHER, UH, PROTECTION THAT WE'VE BUILT INTO THE CONTRACT WITH THE, UH, WITH THE COUNTY. 
          SO AM I HEARING YOU SAY THAT EVERYBODY THAT WORKS WITH TESLA IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER REGARDLESS OF THE FORM GETS HEALTH INSURANCE? YES. 
          I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS I FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ALL ON, BUT I'LL DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUES. 
          THAT'S GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU GUYS ARE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FOLKS WITH TESLA COMING IN, KICKING OFF THIS CONFERENCE WITH US SO THAT WE CAN START TO UNDERSTAND THE, UM, THE DESIRES AND THE NEEDS OF THE CITY AND IN THIS BUSINESS, IF THEY WANT TO COME AND WORK IN OUR ATJ. 
          UM, THIS QUESTION MIGHT BE FOR JERRY, UM, IS MY UNDERSTANDING CORRECT THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL RECLAMATION WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN WHETHER THE SITE WAS DEVELOPED BY AUSTIN GREEN BY TESLA OR BY ANYONE ELSE, WOULD THAT RECLAMATION STILL HAVE TO HAPPEN ON THAT MINING SITE? UM, YES, COUNCIL MEMBER, UM, AND THEN LIKE AT HIS PROPERTY, I'M GETTING INTO A LITTLE BIT BEYOND MY EXPERTISE, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE, THERE IS AN OBLIGATION FOR RECLAMATION UNDER THE MINING PERMIT. 
          THAT BEING SAID, THE MINING PERMITS ARE VERY OLD, I THINK, BUT THE ORIGINAL ORIGINALLY STARTED SHOOTING THE FIFTIES. 
          AND SO IF YOU WERE TO GO OFF TODAY AND PULL UP A GRAVEL MINING PERMIT, YOU COULD PROBABLY STILL GET ONE, BUT THE OBLIGATION FOR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE MUCH MORE THOROUGH THAN IT IS UNDER THE EXISTING. 
          PERFECT. 
          SO THERE IS A REQUIREMENT, PROBABLY NOT AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE. 
          OKAY. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          I JUST WANT TO BE VERY FORTHCOMING WITH THE THINGS THAT I LIKED ABOUT THE AUSTIN GREEN PUDS, SO THAT MAYBE THAT WOULD HELP TESLA 
          [01:00:01]
IF THEY ARE DECIDING TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          AND THAT IS THAT THE RIVERFRONT, UM, THE PATHWAY, THEY WERE GOING TO RECLAIM THE PATHWAY AND MAKE IT PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE. 
          WHAT ENDS UP LIVING NEAR THAT AREA IN THE FUTURE CAN HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE WITH TOWN LAKE. 
          AND SO THAT WAS SOMETHING I KNOW THEY WERE WORKING WITH THE PARTS DEPARTMENT ON, I THINK IT WAS A FEW HUNDRED ACRES. 
          ULTIMATELY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THAT IS TO HAVE SOME NATURAL SPACE AND SPACE ALONG THE RIVERFRONT FOR A PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE TRAIL, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S A REAL GIFT TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE AND GET ON BOARD WITH. 
          AND THEN I KNOW THERE WERE ALSO, UM, SOME LINE ITEMS ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          SO I WASN'T SURE IF TESLA WAS AT ALL INTERESTED IN DOING ANY AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR IF THEY FOUND SOME WAY TO, LIKE JERRY SAID, SPLIT THE AUSTIN GREEN PUD INTO PART TESLA AND PART SOMETHING ELSE. 
          UM, I'M JUST VERY CURIOUS ABOUT THAT CONVERSATION BECAUSE I THINK WE COULD USE ALL THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE CAN GET. 
          AND THOSE ARE USUALLY THE TWO BIG THINGS THAT WE WANT IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          AND I DO APPRECIATE BRINGING UP, UM, DRAINAGE ISSUES AND MAKING SURE THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS WAS ALSO GONNA BE HELPFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. 
          UM, AND I APPRECIATE THAT TESLA IS A BRAND THAT, UM, IS ELECTRIC VEHICLES BECAUSE THAT REALLY, REALLY IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR CITY PLANNING AND OUR COMMITMENTS AS A CITY AS WELL WITH OUR OWN FLEET. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO DAYLIGHT WHERE I WAS GOING TO BE COMING FROM ON SOME OF MY FUTURE DECISION MAKING PROCESS. 
          CAN I JUST RESPOND TO THAT JUST REALLY QUICKLY? SO ON THE RICHARD WHO I'M UPSET WITH FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT HE DIDN'T TELL ME HE WAS GOING TO WEAR A TIE, AND OF COURSE I'M NOT WEARING ONE. 
          UM, BUT HE'S ALSO TOLD ME THAT I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE TOO MANY PROMISES HERE, BUT ON THE AUSTIN GREEN, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY LIKE TOO, IS THE, UM, IS THE PUBLIC PARK ACCESS, UH, AND PUBLIC TRAILS ACCESS. 
          A LOT OF OUR FOLKS HAVE BIKES, JUST LIKE YOU DO A COUNCIL MEMBER IN THE BACKGROUND THAT WOULD WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. 
          AND SO THIS IS, THIS IS SOMETHING WE DEFINITELY WANT TO PRIORITIZE, UM, WORK WITH YOU ALL ON, UH, WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY. 
          ON, ON THE SECOND QUESTION, THAT'S A, THAT'S A TOUGHER ONE, UM, IN THE WAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE WAY THAT YOU FRAMED IT. 
          WE DEFINITELY WANT TO BE A PARTNER ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. 
          AND WHAT I WAS THINKING WAS THE SAME THING YOU SAID, BUT AS WE'VE HAD MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY, UM, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A RETICENCE ON, WAIT A SECOND, WHY ARE YOU BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING RIGHT NEXT TO THE HIGHWAY? BECAUSE THIS SITE IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE HIGHWAY. 
          SO THERE WAS SOME RETICENCE ABOUT, ABOUT THAT. 
          AND SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BEFORE WE COMMIT TO ANYTHING ON THE SITE, UM, WE REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE, WHAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE IN TERMS OF LOCATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          BUT WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNTY AFFORDABLE HOUSING CORPORATION AND OTHERS ON, UH, ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WOULD LOVE TO GET YOUR INPUT OR ANYBODY ELSE'S INPUT AS WELL. 
          I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, AND I KNOW YOU, HAVEN'T WATCHED ALL OF OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, UM, BUT WE OFTENTIMES TALK ABOUT THE ROLE OF TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING AND MAKING SURE PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. 
          UM, BUT WE ALSO DO HAVE WAYS TO PARTNER WITH OUR CITY DEPARTMENT NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, WHERE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ASSIST US WITH PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT IS CLOSE AND CHECKS ALL THE BOXES OF BEING TRANSITED ADJACENT, UM, AND MAKING SURE THAT IT FITS IN LINE WITH OUR, OUR COMMUNITY GOALS. 
          AND SO THERE ARE OTHER WAYS BESIDES BUILDING IT YOURSELF IN THAT PROCESS. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, NUMBER TOBO UH, THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR OUR TESLA REPRESENTATIVES. 
          I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR BEING HERE TODAY AND, AND, UM, FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THIS EXCITING POSSIBILITY FOR US. 
          AND I'M GOING TO DEFER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR A LITTLE BIT. 
          I THINK MAYOR, YOU HAD ASKED US TO, TO FOCUS ON QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW FOR OUR CITY STAFF. 
          UM, MR.  I WANTED TO ASK NUMBER ONE THAT I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL SINCE THIS HAS, SINCE THE AUSTIN GREEN POD HAS, UM, PROCEEDED OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. 
          I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY USEFUL TO HAVE ALL OF THOSE DOCUMENTS ADDED TO OUR BACKUP FOR TODAY. 
          SO AS I WENT BACK AND RESEARCHED THE PUTT ASSESSMENT WAS PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL IN DECEMBER, DECEMBER 12TH, 2018, AND THEN THE FIRST AND SECOND READING OF OUR PUD OF I'M SORRY, THE FIRST READING OF THE AUSTIN GREEN PUD HAPPENED IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, BUT IT WAS AT A MEETING WHERE WE HAD A LOT OF OTHER THINGS GOING ON. 
          AND I THINK BOTH FOR THE PUBLIC AND FOR OTHERS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THIS CONVERSATION, I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY USEFUL TO HAVE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION IN PLACE. 
          UM, TYPICALLY WITH A PUD PROCESS, WE HAVE, WE DO HAVE THAT 
          [01:05:01]
INITIAL PRESENTATION, THE FILING, I THINK THAT'S THE REQUIREMENT BEFORE THE FILING AND AS MY COLLEAGUES HAVE AS THE CONVERSATION, UM, AND THE QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ELICITED. 
          I THINK WE ALL ARE HAVING, WE ALL HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THIS PUD APPLICATION WOULD LOOK LIKE IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE AUSTIN GREEN HUD. 
          AND SO I WOULD, I WOULD REQUEST THAT WE CAN SET OUR, HAVING ANOTHER PUTT DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AND REALLY BE ABLE TO ASK THE COUNCIL TO LOOK CAREFULLY AT, AT, UM, WHAT THOSE CHANGES WOULD BE. 
          AND I GUESS MY LAST QUESTION FOR THE MOMENT THEN IS, DO YOU HAVE A SENSE AT THIS POINT OF, OF WHAT THE REVISED PUT APPLICATION WILL, WILL LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF THE MEETING OF THE TIER ONE AND TIER TWO REQUIREMENTS, UM, UNDER OUR PUD, UNDER OUR PUDS ZONING PROCESS, THEY DO NEED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE, THAT THE ZONING THAT WOULD RESULT WILL BE SUPERIOR TO CONVENTIONAL ZONING. 
          I, I COMPLETELY TAKE YOUR POINT AND AGREE WITH IT THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A SITE THAT'S REALLY ENVIRONMENTALLY COMPROMISED AND ALL OF THE PLANS THAT HAVE COME FORWARD SO FAR FOR THIS SITE ARE VASTLY ARE A VAST IMPROVEMENT, BUT I DO WANT TO KNOW WITH REAL DETAIL HOW IT, HOW IT WILL INTEND TO MEET THE TIER ONE AND TIER TWO REQUIREMENTS. 
          UM, COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS, AND OTHERS HAVE INDICATED SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE AUSTIN GREEN POD HAD INTENDED TO DO IN TERMS OF PRESERVING, PRESERVING OPEN SPACE ALONG THE CREEK, ACTIVATING AND ENHANCING. 
          UM, CATALYZING, I THINK WAS THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS USED IN THE APPLICATION, CATALYZING, THE COLORADO RIVER CORRIDOR, UM, MOVING GROWTH TO LESS ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS OF, OF THAT TRACT, UM, AND VARIOUS OTHER REALLY SPECIFIC POINTS. 
          SO AT THIS POINT, DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF WHAT THOSE TIER ONE AND TWO REQUIREMENTS WILL LOOK LIKE FOR THIS REVISED APPLICATION AND WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO DO ANOTHER, ANOTHER, UH, PRESENTATION ONCE THAT HAS BEEN RESOLVED? UM, AND IS IT POSSIBLE TO LINK UP ALL OF THOSE DOCUMENTS TO TODAY'S MEETING? SO THEY'RE ALL IN ONE PLACE. 
          SURE. 
          A CUSTOMER I'LL GO IN REVERSE ORDER IF THAT'S OKAY. 
          UM, YES, I CAN GO AHEAD AND PUT THE BACKUP THAT WE HAD ON MARCH 20TH. 
          I'M SORRY, MARCH, MARCH OF 2020 FOR THE AUSTIN GREEN SIDE. 
          I CAN HAVE THAT MOVED OVER TO THIS AGENDA AS AN EXHIBIT. 
          UM, AND MR. ROSCOE, BUT I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, BUT ALSO THE DECEMBER, THE REQUEST WAS ALSO FOR THE DECEMBER. 
          I THINK IT WAS JUST FOR 13TH 2018, THAT INITIAL POD PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL THAT COULD ALSO BE PART OF IT AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND THEN, UM, UM, THE SECOND QUESTION HAVING TO DO WITH, CAN WE DO A BRIEFING BEFORE WE COME BACK OR THE, WITH THE ACTUAL AMENDED APPLICATION? UM, YES. 
          IF THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE US TO COME BACK AND DO A BRIEFING, WE'D BE GLAD TO DO SO. 
          UM, BUT THAT LEADS TO THE FIRST QUESTION, WHICH IS, DO WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR TIER ONE AND TIER TWO, UM, SUPERIORITY? NO, WE DO NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT SUBMITTED TO US THE APPLICATION AT ALL ONE RIGHT NOW WE, WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE. 
          AND SO WE RECEIVED THEIR THANKS. 
          AND AS I INDICATED, WRITING THE QUESTIONS FOR TESLA TOO, BUT AS THOSE WERE MY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF AT THIS POINT, THANKS AGAIN, AND I'M GIVING EVERYBODY A CHANCE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND YOU'RE GOING TO PASS IT ALONG. 
          THERE'S NOT A LIMITATION TO ASK FOR STAFF BY ASKING QUESTIONS, BUT WE'LL CIRCLE BACK SO THAT WE KEEP GOING. 
          THANKS MAYOR. 
          UM, AND YEAH, I ALSO WANT TO NOTE AS MEMBER FLANNIGAN NOTED THAT THIS ISN'T A HEARING ON, UH, A TAX REDUCTION. 
          UM, WE ARE, I THINK HOW MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE STAFF IT'S REALLY JUST BEING ASKED FOR OUR QUICK ATTENTION FROM THE CITY TO ADDRESS THE REGULATORY ISSUES. 
          UH, AND, UH, AND, AND I APPRECIATE THE TESLA, UH, PRESENTATION CLEARLY, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE PRESENTATION IS A, IS A PITCH AS TO WHY WE SHOULD, UH, GIVE OUR QUICK ATTENTION AND A BIT OF A SHORTENED PROCESS ON, ON A REALLY BIG, I REALLY BIG CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. 
          UH, OBVIOUSLY I THINK THE REASONS FOR DOING THAT ARE CLEAR FROM YOUR SLIDES ABOUT ADDRESSING, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN EAST AUSTIN, UH, HOW THIS COULD SUPPORT OUR WORKERS OF COLOR IN PARTICULAR, UM, THE AUTO WORKER INDUSTRY BEING OF COURSE, WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE THE MOST WORKERS, BUT ALSO IN FOOD SERVICE AND IN CONSTRUCTION. 
          UH, AND, AND, UH, THE, BOTH OF YOU, YOU KNOW, AS YOU ALLUDED TO, THERE ARE, UM, 
          [01:10:01]
MEDIA REPORTS AND THEN ALSO ORGANIZATIONS THAT WERE PRESENT THOSE AUTO WORKERS OR FOOD SERVICE WORKERS OR CONSTRUCTION WORKERS THAT HAVE RAISED QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT, UH, WHAT IS IN THE SLIDES IS EXACTLY HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK OUT. 
          I'M NOT JUST, UH, IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, BUT HERE, UH, FOLKS LOCALLY. 
          AND I'VE PERSONALLY SEEN HOW SOMETIMES THOSE BIG CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS CAN GO, RIGHT? AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T GO RIGHT OR AS EXPECTED. 
          AND SO IF TESLA COMES HERE, WE WANT IT TO BE ONE OF THOSE THAT GOES RIGHT. 
          UM, AND SO MY QUESTIONS ARE ABOUT, UH, NOT JUST ABOUT THE VALUES AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR SLIDES, BECAUSE OF COURSE THOSE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT, BUT THE, UH, MY QUESTIONS ARE REALLY ABOUT, UH, YOUR COMMITMENTS TO THE LOCAL WORKFORCE. 
          UM, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH THIS PRETTY QUICK, UH, REGULATORY PROCESS. 
          UH, AND I THINK, AND I HOPE THAT, UM, WITH THOSE COMMITMENTS IN MIND THAT OUR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE DEMOCRATICALLY REPRESENTING FOLKS LIKE FOOD SERVICE WORKERS OR CONSTRUCTION WORKERS COULD, COULD FEEL GOOD ABOUT THOSE COMMITMENTS AND THAT Y'ALL COULD COME FORWARD TO US WHENEVER WE'RE VOTING PEOPLE FEELING GOOD AND FEELING LIKE THEIR QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED AND FEELING LIKE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THAT GOES RIGHT. 
          UM, SO, SO MY QUESTIONS I THINK ARE PROBABLY TO YOU MR. PATEL, AND WE'VE GOTTEN A CHANCE TO, UM, TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE. 
          UM, SO, BUT, BUT I JUST THINK HAVING THAT CONVERSATION HERE IN PUBLIC WOULD BE, WOULD BE HELPFUL. 
          UM, SO I THINK YOU'VE ANSWERED SOME OF THIS FOR COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN, BUT CAN YOU REITERATE, SO IF TESLA COMES HERE, UM, COULD, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT A $15 AN HOUR WAGE FLOOR FOR EVERYBODY IN FOOD SERVICE, EVERYBODY IN CONSTRUCTION, EVERYBODY WORKING ON YOUR SHOP FLOOR? YES. 
          AND THAT COMES WITH A WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE. 
          UM, UM, AND THEN YOU SAID FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE, UH, IN CERTAIN CATEGORIES THAT COMES AS WELL WITH HEALTH INSURANCE, IS THAT, THAT MEANS EVERYBODY THAT'S THAT'S, UH, WORKING WITH CARS, COMES WITH HEALTH INSURANCE. 
          IS THAT, IS THAT GENERALLY THE RIGHT WAY OF THINKING ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF TESLA? YEAH, CERTAINLY EVERYBODY WORKER'S COMP, UM, THAT'S EVEN IN THE COUNTY CONTRACT, THEY WANTED US TO SPECIFY THAT. 
          UM, BUT WE WOULD HAVE DONE THAT, OF COURSE, REGARDLESS, UM, ON THE HEALTH INSURANCE, I MEAN, I WOULD JUST POINT OUT THIS IS SOMETHING I WORKED ON AND FEEL EXTREMELY STRONG, STRONGLY ABOUT, AND WE SHOULD BE PROTECTING THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND ENHANCING IT. 
          UH, IF YOU HAVE 50 OR MORE PEOPLE AT ANY SITE OR FOR ANY COMPANY, YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE HEALTH INSURANCE. 
          SO, UM, THAT'S CERTAINLY, THAT'S CERTAINLY THE CASE AND WE'VE ACTUALLY PUT IT INTO THE COUNTY CONTRACT THAT EVEN IF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WERE TO BE REPEALED, WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT ANYBODY WE'RE WORKING WITH, UH, WE'LL HAVE THAT AS A BASELINE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT'S A PA REPEALED OR NOT. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT TO HAPPEN WITH YOU IF YOU CAME TO, UH, UM, TO THE TRAVIS COUNTY AREA, PERIOD. 
          YEAH. 
          I WOULD EXPECT MUCH MORE BALANCES AND THAT WAS LOOKING AT ME LIKE SHE'S SMILING BECAUSE SHE'S EXPECTING A WAY, WAY MORE THAN THAT. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT SHE PRESENTED, BUT THIS IS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A BASELINE AND YES, THAT'S, THAT'S CERTAINLY THE BASELINE. 
          THAT'S NOT WHAT I EXPECT. 
          THAT'S THE, UH, THAT'S SOME PROTECTION ON THE FLOOR. 
          AND, AND SPEAKING OF THE, OF THE, OF THE BASELINE FLOOR, UM, UH, ON THE CONSTRUCTION JOBS, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A REALLY, REALLY BIG CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND YOU'LL HAVE WAY MORE PEOPLE WORKING CONSTRUCTION FOR A WHILE, THEN YOU WOULD EVER HAVE, UM, UH, IN BUILDING, UH, YOUR, UM, YOUR, YOUR COMMITMENT IF TESLA BUILDS THIS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND OUR ADJ IS, UM, IS THE SAFETY TRAINING FOR ALL THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, RIGHT. 
          THAT WE SHOULD ATTEND BASIC TRAINING FOR MAKING SURE EVERYBODY HAS THAT SAFETY TRAINING. 
          IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH. 
          AND IT'S SHORT ANSWER IS YES, BUT, YOU KNOW, OSHA 10 OSHA, 30 ARE DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOLKS DEPENDS ON SUPERVISORS, DIFFERENT SAFETY TRAINING, DIFFERENT, BUT YES, THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES. 
          AND, UH, WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE $15 AN HOUR APPLYING THERE, UM, AND THE WORKERS COMP APPLYING TO THOSE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. 
          UM, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE, UM, AS FAR AS A, UH, AS FAR AS THINGS THAT Y'ALL WERE STILL SORTING OUT WAS WHETHER OR NOT YOU COULD MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST CREATING, UM, A CAREER LADDER AND TRAINING ON THE AUTO SHOP FLOOR, BUT THAT YOU COULD WORK WITH, UM, APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS ON CONSTRUCTION SITES, WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO ON ALL OF OUR BIG CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, UH, AS A CITY. 
          AND I THINK IS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPEDITED PERMITTING AS A CITY. 
          I KNOW THAT FROM OUR LAST CONVERSATION, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE 
          [01:15:01]
Y'ALL HAVE MADE THAT COMMITMENT YET BECAUSE IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU FULLY HAVE VETTED, BUT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU ALL, UM, MIGHT BE AMENABLE TO THINKING ABOUT COMMITTING TO IF YOU FOUND THE RIGHT ONE? YEAH. 
          WITHOUT SORRY, COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          YEAH. 
          WITHOUT QUESTION WE PUT IN INTO THE CONNIE AGREEMENT IS A, UH, SET OF FOLKS THAT THOSE ARE FROM GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS, SKILLED POINT YOUTH WORKS, WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS, CAPITAL AREA IN AUSTIN, AUSTIN, COMMUNITY COLLEGE, THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR'S APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS AND THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR IS CERTIFIED BILINGUAL TRAINING PROGRAMS. UM, SO THOSE ARE THE, THOSE ARE THE COMPANY. 
          THOSE ARE THE ENTITIES THAT WE SHALL WORK WITH AND ENCOURAGE OUR CONTRACTORS TO WORK WITH AND MAKE EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS, UM, WHETHER DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OR, OR FURTHER PHASES ARE WORKING WITH THOSE, THOSE ENTITIES. 
          AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT'S ON THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE, BOTH. 
          YEAH, BOTH. 
          AND SO I THINK IN THE CITIES PROGRAMS, UH, WE, WE WIND UP HAVING A, A GOAL, UH, THAT GETS SET FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORK THAT GETS DONE BY FOLKS COMING THROUGH THOSE SORTS OF PROGRAMS. SO IT'S SOMETHING I, BEFORE IT COMES BACK TO COUNCIL THAT I WOULD URGE FOR Y'ALL TO SEE, TO LOOK AT WHAT THE STANDARD, THE CITY SETS FOR OUR BIG PROJECTS AND TALK WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THAT. 
          UH, AND THEN ONE OTHER ISSUE THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE STILL WAS, UH, SOMEWHAT OUTSTANDING WAS THE, UM, WAS WHETHER THERE COULD BE A MONITORING PROGRAM TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH EVERYTHING WE JUST LAID OUT THAT IS VETTED BY THE COMMUNITY, AND THAT PEOPLE FEEL, UM, HOLDS EVERYBODY TO THE SAME STANDARD. 
          AND THAT'S, AGAIN, SOMETHING THAT I WOULD REALLY URGE BECAUSE MY EXPERIENCE BOTH FOR BEING ON COUNCIL AND, UH, IN THE WORKER'S MOVEMENT. 
          AND NOW ON COUNCIL, IS THAT I'M, I'M SURPRISED THAT THAT GIVEN THAT LIST OF COMMITMENTS, UM, THAT THERE'S STILL DISAGREEMENT. 
          I WOULD HOPE THAT GIVEN THE THINGS YOU'VE SAID TODAY, UH, MAYBE THERE'S SOME OTHER OUTSTANDING, UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, UH, THE LIST IN THIS EMAIL THAT I JUST RECENTLY GOT IS PRETTY LONG. 
          I JUST WENT AND TRIED TO HIT, UH, WHAT I THOUGHT LOOKED LIKE THE HIGH POINTS. 
          BUT MY HOPE IS THAT THOUGH, THAT GIVEN WHAT YOU PUT IN THEIR SLIDES AND GIVEN WHAT YOU JUST SAID NOW, UH, MY HOPE IS THAT, UM, TRUST CAN BE BUILT AND THAT PEOPLE CAUSE MY SENSE IS ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS, IS EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN LAID OUT RIGHT NOW, IS THAT WHAT WE ACTUALLY EXPECT WILL HAPPEN. 
          AND THAT HAS PROBABLY IN MY VIEW HAS A LOT TO DO WITH JUST A HISTORY OF HOW SOME STAFF, SOME THINGS HAVE GONE IN AUSTIN. 
          UM, AND SO MY HOPE AND BELIEF IS THAT THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE REPRESENTED AND ARE ACTUALLY BUILT BY FOOD SERVICE WORKERS OR CONSTRUCTION WORKERS OR JANITORIAL WORKERS, THAT IF Y'ALL HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND TALK THROUGH WHAT IT IS WE JUST TALKED THROUGH. 
          UM, I THINK YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THIS IS GOING TO GO, RIGHT. 
          EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT WHAT IT IS YOU JUST SAID IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT THAT WOULD BE THE FLOOR. 
          AND WE ALWAYS SHOULD ANTICIPATE AS THINGS BEING BETTER THAN THAT, BECAUSE WE KNOW WE NEED, UH, CONTINUED JOBS, ESPECIALLY IN A MOMENT OF MAJOR ECONOMIC, UH, UH, CONTRACTION AND, AND DISASTER FOR MANY PEOPLE. 
          BUT WE WANT THOSE TO BE AS GOOD OF JOBS AS POSSIBLE FOR THE LONGTERM. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S ALL, UM, MANY PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR AND, AND I EXPECT THAT THAT TESLA SHOULD BE ABLE TO, TO RISE TO THAT CHALLENGE AND GET PEOPLE TO, TO BELIEVE AND KNOW THAT THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LAYING OUT THAT YOU'VE LAID OUT, THAT YOU'RE COMMITTED TO. 
          THAT THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT AS YOU COME TO THIS YEAH. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          I THINK THAT'S NOT JUST FAIR. 
          I THINK THAT'S A REALLY HELPFUL, UM, AND YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT, UH, WE WILL WANT TO DO GOING FORWARD. 
          THE, SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAD, UM, ARE ALSO FAIR. 
          I THINK IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THE COUNTY AGREEMENT ITSELF, SPECIFICALLY SECTION 4.7, UM, THE, FOR THE FOLKS ON THE, ON THE CALL AND FOR THE PUBLIC, WE HAVE ACTUALLY AGREED TO A LOT OF THOSE THINGS, NOT RELUCTANTLY, BUT PROACTIVELY WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT PERFECT. 
          UM, WE, WE WE'RE BY NO MEANS PERFECT, BUT WE'RE ALSO ONE OF THE MOST HEAVILY SCRUTINIZED, MAYBE THE MOST HEAVILY SCRUTINIZED COMPANY IN THE WORLD. 
          SO WE WANT TO BE, WE WANT TO HAVE SYSTEMS IN PLACE THAT DON'T JUST PROTECT, BUT INVOLVE, UH, WORKERS, INVOLVE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SYSTEMS THAT PROVIDE FOR COMPLIANCE, PROVIDE FOR SAFETY AND PROVIDE FOR INTERACTIONS. 
          SO TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. 
          AND WE'LL FOLLOW UP ON, ON SOME OF THE POINTS YOU MADE, MATT. 
          THEN I, I WOULD HOPE AND EXPECT THAT WE HAVE THOSE FOLKS, UH, THAT REPRESENT FOOD, SERVICE WORKERS, PRESENT CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, FEEL BETTER AND, AND TELL US THAT THEY 
          [01:20:01]
HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE. 
          AND I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT YOU ALL CAN ACHIEVE THAT. 
          UH, AND THEN SECOND, I JUST THINK THAT OF THOSE QUESTIONS WERE RAISED IN PART, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THE COMPLIANCE PROGRAM AT THE COUNTY THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE COMPLIANCE OF SOME SORT IS WHAT I'M HEARING THAN WHAT PEOPLE ARE USED TO. 
          AND SO I THINK THAT THAT IN PART HAS RAISED SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AND I THINK THAT IT'S THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN GET ANSWERED. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I JUST WANT TO, UH, I CONCUR WITH IT WITH THE QUESTIONS THAT I'VE ASKED BY ALL MY COLLEAGUES, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY REGULATORY ISSUES AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, THINGS THAT ARE NOT BEFORE US NOW THAT WE KNOW ARE COMING. 
          UH, AND, AND WHEN THEY COME, UH, UH, WE'LL, WE'LL DEAL WITH THEM THEN, AND BASED ON THE REPRESENTATIONS AND THE VALUES, UH, I HOPE AND TRUST THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET PAST THEM. 
          I DID WANT TO PAUSE THE SECOND. 
          THANKS. 
          HI, IT'S VALERIE. 
          IF I COULD JUST MAKE ONE POINT, UM, AND, UM, FROM A PEOPLE PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, HEARING THE FLOOR MENTIONED, UM, CONTINUINGLY ABOUT THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S PROPER BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PUT FLOOR, UM, OF SALARY THEN AND FLOOR AND BENEFITS, BUT JUST BY WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO, WE ACTUALLY DID TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE DONE IS TAKE A LOOK, WHAT WE'VE DONE IN BUFFALO. 
          TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE DO IN FREMONT WHEN MY JANITORIAL TEAMS WITH OUR CULINARY TEAMS, WITH OUR PRODUCTION TEAM. 
          SO AS YOU LOOK AT, AND, YOU KNOW, I GET THE FLOOR BECAUSE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, PROTECTION FOR, FOR, FOR BOTH PARTIES IN TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT, BUT WE ARE SO PROUD OF WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO. 
          WE ACTUALLY PAY WHERE WE ACTUALLY GET DONE. 
          SO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE, AND WE TALK WITH THESE DIFFERENT CONSTITUENCIES. 
          IT'LL BE VERY EXCITING TO CONTINUE TO EXPLAIN, KNOW HOW WE ACTUALLY WORK. 
          I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT, BUT I GET THAT. 
          WE DO NEED TO TALK ABOUT FLORIDA. 
          THANK YOU, VALERIE. 
          I JUST WANT TO CONCLUDE BY SAYING, I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT AS WE IN THIS CITY ARE TALKING ABOUT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, LOTS OF DIFFERENT, UH, AREAS, UH, AND TRYING TO GET 10,000 PEOPLE AS PART OF OUR GOAL OUT OF POVERTY AND INTO MIDDLE SKILL JOBS AND THE COMMUNITY THAT'S FOCUSED ON THE MIDDLE SKILL JOBS. 
          THE ONE THING THAT, THAT IF WE WERE TO CLOSE OUR EYES AND WE HAVE TO, UH, IMAGINE WHAT IT IS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE, UM, INTO OUR CITY, UH, IT WAS MANUFACTURING, IT WAS CLEAN MANUFACTURING, IT WAS CLEAN MANUFACTURING THAT WOULD BE HIRING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FOR MIDDLE SKILL JOBS, AND IT WOULD BE LOCATING IN THAT EASTERN. 
          AND SO THE FACT THAT, THAT, THAT TESLA'S CONSIDERING COMING HERE, THE, WITH A FACTORY OF THIS SIZE IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY, AND THEN LARGE COMPANIES HAVE GONE THROUGH PRETTY EXHAUSTED PROCESSES. 
          THE FACT THAT THAT COMING OUT OF, AND THAT MIGHT, THIS MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY THAT PRESENTS ITSELF, THAT SWELLING DOWN AT ALL THE REGULATORY ISSUES THAT WERE REMEMBER RESPONSIBILITY FOR STEEL. 
          THERE WERE, THIS IS A, I THINK A PRETTY EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY FOR, FOR OUR CITY. 
          AND WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HER FURTHER COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES, MR. FLANAGAN, THANKS MAYOR. 
          AND I WANT TO KIND OF ECHO A LOT OF WHAT YOU SAID THERE, YOU KNOW, FOR WE'RE, WE'RE IN A VERY CHALLENGING PLACE THINKING ABOUT OUR ECONOMIC FUTURE AND THE IDEA OF BRINGING THE TYPES OF JOBS WHO'VE BEEN SAYING WE WANT TO BRING IN THOSE JOBS IS, IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. 
          UM, I KNOW THE TESLA FOLKS, HAVEN'T HAD TO DO A LOT OF WORK WITH THE CITY OF AUSTIN OR THE COUNCIL IN THE PAST. 
          AND IT'S, THIS WOULD BE GOING A LOT DIFFERENTLY IF YOU WERE ASKING US FOR A TAX ABATEMENT. 
          SO I'M GLAD THAT WE CAN KEEP THIS IN A GOOD SPACE FOR THE MOST PART. 
          CAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FITBIT THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND I HAVEN'T EVEN READ THE TRAVIS COUNTY DEAL. 
          SO I'M NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON IT. 
          UM, BUT I DO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION FOR STAFF. 
          UM, WHEN I PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT MAP FROM TRAVIS COUNTY, IT APPEARS THAT THIS SITE IS IN ESD FOUR, WHICH WAS TAKEN OVER BY AUSTIN FIRE DEPARTMENT. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW THAT I NEED AN ANSWER IN THIS MOMENT, BUT I WOULD LIKE, UH, AN ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF WHAT THE PROPERTY TAX THAT TESLA WOULD PAY TO ESD FOR THAT ENDS UP BEING RUN BY AUSTIN FIRE DEPARTMENT. 
          CAUSE I THINK THERE'S A, THERE, THERE MAY BE AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT IN TERMS OF THAT COLLABORATION WITH ESTS MAYOR. 
          YOU COULDN'T HEAR ME EARLIER OR SEE ME MAYOR, 
          [01:25:02]
CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY. 
          WELL, YOU KNOW, UH, I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS THAT TO TESLA'S PEOPLE OFFICIALLY WAS ONE, UH, THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE HAD ALL THE INJUSTICE AND, AND THE EASTERN QUESTION, YOU KNOW, I, IF YOU, IF YOU GO PASS ONE 83 DOWN RIVER, UH, THE COLORADO RIVER, YOU'LL SEE ALL THE DOCUMENT TRACKS THAT'S BEEN DUMPED THERE ON BOTH SIDES. 
          IT'S THERE'S, I MEAN, THAT WHOLE AREA I'VE BEEN TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE WITH MORE DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO WE COULD CLEAN UP THAT AREA BECAUSE IT WAS USED AS A CONCRETE SITE, UH, MINING, YOU KNOW, GRAVEL PITS. 
          THAT'S THAT'S WHAT IF USE THAT, THAT SECTION BETWEEN 71 AND THE RIVER THAT'S AN A RIGHT ACROSS IT. 
          THAT'S WHAT, HOW HAS IT BEEN USED IN THE PAST? SO I I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT JOB AND I HOPE THAT Y'ALL DO TAKE IN BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO, TO BUILD IN A SECTION OF EAST AUSTIN THAT HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED FOR ALL MY YEARS, BEING HERE THAT I'VE BEEN LIVING HERE IN AUSTIN, WHICH IS OVER, IT'D BEEN 70 YEARS, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A SITE. 
          THEY'RE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE LIKE THEY'RE ON THE RIVER. 
          AND I KNOW THAT THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE HIRING THERE ARE GOING TO REALLY ENJOY THAT, THAT WHOLE AREA THERE. 
          AND IT'S AT A VERY CONVENIENT PLACE. 
          IT'S OFF A ONE 30, THE AIRPORT IS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY FROM THERE. 
          SO THIS IS A REAL GOOD OPPORTUNITY. 
          AND BELIEVE ME, MY, MY, MY PEOPLE, MY CONSTITUENTS IN MY AREA THERE. 
          AND HE SAW AUSTIN AND D THREE ARE THRILLED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO OUT AND WORK AT A MANUFACTURING PLANT INSTEAD OF HAVING TO BE AT THEIR, UH, FAST FOOD OR ENTERTAINMENT, NOTHING WRONG WITH THOSE JOBS. 
          BUT AS WE CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN, DURING A PANDEMIC, A LOT OF THOSE JOBS GO AWAY AND, UH, AND WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE Y'ALL HERE. 
          IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR US. 
          AND I, I REALLY WOULD ENCOURAGE Y'ALL TO, TO, YOU KNOW, REALLY CONSIDER US. 
          AND, UH, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME FOR THE DELL VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE STUDENTS THERE. 
          AND IF YOU GO AND LOOK AT THAT, THOSE STUDENTS THERE IN THAT AREA, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THEM BARELY GO INTO TECHNICAL SCHOOLS. 
          A LOT OF MY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, THIS WOULD BRING US WHAT WE'VE BEEN WANTING FOR YEARS AND YEARS. 
          WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET A MANUFACTURING PLANT BUILT HERE, ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST AUSTIN AREA. 
          UH, AND, AND I THINK THAT IF Y'ALL COME DOWN HERE, IT'D BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM BY AREA OF TOWN COUNCIL MEMBER RENTERIA, JUST REAL QUICK. 
          UM, I'M, I'M LEADING THE SITE SELECTION FOR, FOR A TESLA. 
          AND SO I'M SUPPOSED TO BE VERY SOBER ABOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS, BUT TRUTH BE TOLD VAL AND I HAVE FRANKLY, FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS COMMUNITY. 
          IT REALLY IS. 
          IT'S BEEN BEEN KIND OF INSPIRING, FRANKLY, TO GET A CHANCE TO, TO MEET SOME OF THESE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          AND FORTUNATELY, A LOT OF IT IS VIA ZOOM OR ALL OF IT IS, OR BY WEBEX, BUT REALLY HAS BEEN PRETTY COOL TO, TO MEET THOSE FOLKS. 
          I AGREE WITH YOU, UM, UH, CAN'T ROOT FOR ANY PARTICULAR SITE, BUT, UM, I CERTAINLY HAVE, UH, BEEN INSPIRED BY THIS ONE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE WE MOVE ON? THAT'S WHERE WE'RE KITCHEN. 
          UH, YES. 
          UM, SO, AND I ECHO THE STATEMENTS THAT ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE MADE. 
          UM, THIS IS A EXCITING, UH, FOR THE CITY. 
          SO WE, AND WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING AT THIS POINT TO, TO TALK WITH US, UH, ABOUT IT. 
          UM, I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT TWO OTHER ISSUES THAT WE DON'T NEED TO SPEAK TO TODAY. 
          UM, UM, AND THEN I'LL WANT TO UNDERSTAND BETTER. 
          UM, SO, UM, I BELIEVE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS AND COUNCIL MEMBER POOL HAVE MENTIONED DRAINAGE ISSUES. 
          AND SO THAT WILL, UM, BE SOMETHING THAT I'M REALLY WANTING TO UNDERSTAND, PARTICULARLY. 
          I KNOW THAT THERE ARE, UM, INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN THAT AREA THAT HAVE PERHAPS EXPERIENCED FLOODING, UM, OR EXPERIENCED FLOODING AFTER CODA WAS DEVELOPED IN THAT AREA. 
          AND SO MAY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT, UH, THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. 
          SO I'LL, I'M GOING TO WANT TO BE UNDERSTANDING, UM, HOW THAT'S PROTECTED OR MITIGATED FOR, I ALSO WANT TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE ARE UTILITY, UM, ISSUES THAT WE WILL BE, UH, THAT THE CITY WILL BE ASKED TO ADDRESS AND PARTICULARLY THROUGH ANY COST 
          [01:30:01]
FOR THE CITY RELATED TO, UM, UTILITY. 
          SO, UM, SO I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE TWO AREAS, UM, SPEAK TO THEM TODAY, OR PERHAPS THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD WANT TO GET INTO LATER. 
          BUT I KNEW IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER ISSUES THAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE HIGHLIGHTED, I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE TWO. 
          AND, UM, UH, AND I, I ECHO WHAT ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID, PARTICULARLY. 
          UM, AND SOME OF IT, SORRY, THANK YOU FOR ARTICULATING, UH, THE CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS THAT MANY OF US HAVE REGARDING WORKER SAFETY. 
          UM, AND I THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, ELLIS FOR, UM, ARTICULATING THE, UM, THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN THOSE AREAS. 
          AND OF COURSE, COUNSELOR ENTRY, UH, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S SPOT ON, UM, THE POTENTIAL THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS AREA, FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, SO AGAIN, JUST HIGHLIGHTING TWO ADDITIONAL THINGS, MY CONCERN RELATED TO, TO DRAIN, TO DRAINAGE AND POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING, AND THEN MY QUESTIONS RELATED TO UTILITIES. 
          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          IT'S GOOD TO HAVE MIRROR PHOTO. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. 
          YOU'RE BREAKING UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND TRY IT. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          OKAY. 
          YOUR SOUND'S BREAKING UP, KATHY.

          YOU'RE BREAKING UP. 
          DO YOU HAVE A TECHNICAL ANSWER TO THIS? IF YOU TURNED OFF YOUR VIDEO, IS IT IMPROVED THING? MAPPING IS SET UP NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF. 
          I'M NOT ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. 
          HELLO? OKAY. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          SO THE ONLY SUGGESTION I HAVE IS FOR HER TO DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT. 
          SORRY, JEN. 
          I'LL HEAR ME NOW. 
          YOU'RE ON MUTE MAYOR. 
          YES, KATHY. 
          WE CAN HEAR YOU. 
          AND I THINK, OKAY, THANKS. 
          I THINK I WAS, AND NOW YOU'RE BREAKING UP. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THIS NOT REALLY? JUST SO THAT THE COUNCIL MEMBER DOESN'T FEEL BAD. 
          WE WERE A TECH COMPANY. 
          WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPER HIGH TECH AND THIS HAPPENS TO US EVERY DAY. 
          SO NO WORRIES AT ALL. 
          AND IT'S THE SAME COMPANY. 
          HE WANTS ME TO GET A DRIVERLESS CAR. 
          I DON'T THINK SO. 
          MAYOR ADLER, WE HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE IN A MEETING I WAS IN YESTERDAY. 
          AND WHAT WE DID WAS THAT THE SPEAKER WHO WAS HAVING ISSUES CALL ME, AND THEN I PUT THEM ON SPEAKER. 
          UM, COULD WE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, KATHY, DO YOU WANT TO TRY TO CALL ONE OF YOUR COLLEAGUES, YOUR VIDEO ON THE SCREEN HAS FROZEN. 
          [01:35:16]
KATHY, CAN I JUST PUT YOU UP? YOU'RE THIS THROWING UP TO THAT ANGER, KATHY, WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD. 
          THANKS. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          SORRY FOR ALL THE CONFUSION. 
          AND I APPRECIATE THAT CREATIVITY. 
          I WANTED TO JUST THANK AGAIN. 
          I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH OF THIS TRANSPLANTED EARLIER. 
          I WAS THINKING TESLA FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF AUSTIN. 
          I BELIEVE THAT AUSTIN IS GREAT, COULD BE A GREAT FIT FOR TESLA, AND THAT JUST COULD BE A GREAT FIT FOR AUSTIN. 
          AND I APPRECIATE YOUR RELAYING THIS TO REALLY TALKING IN VERY CONCRETE DETAILS ABOUT DIFFERENT POINTS THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS RAISED, ESPECIALLY THOSE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE SUCH, UM, SUCH SUPPORTIVE ORGANIZATIONS FOR OUR WORKERS. 
          AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTARY AND YOUR SHARING OF INFORMATION ABOUT WORKPLACE CULTURE AND ACTUAL COMMITMENTS THAT TESLA HAS MADE IN OTHER AREAS. 
          AND I WANTED TO INVITE YOU TO PROVIDE US WITH SOME OF THAT INFORMATION. 
          YOU SAID YOU TALKED ABOUT SOME REALLY IMPORTANT VALUES THAT TESLA SHARES IN TERMS OF ITS CORPORATE CULTURE. 
          I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW THAT'S IMPLEMENTED AT, AT TESLA LOCATIONS AND OTHER AREAS. 
          AND SO YOU HAD OFFERED THAT ANOTHER CLIP TO, FOR YOU TO SHARE THAT WITH SORT OF LIKE MY OFFICE. 
          AND I IMAGINED MY COLLEAGUES WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT SPECIFIC INFORMATION AS WELL, IN PARTICULAR, I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY ABOUT REALLY THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS AT EVERY LEVEL TO WORK THEIR WAY INTO HIGHER LEVELS OF RESPONSIBILITY WITHIN THE COMPANY. 
          I THINK THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT I VALUED IN TERMS OF A CORPORATION THEY'RE SUPPORTIVE WORKERS. 
          AND SO TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE US WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THOSE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO WORKERS, THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD INFORMATION FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO HAVE AS WELL. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S INTERESTING. 
          SO AGAIN, THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS PRESENTATION THIS MORNING AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE ONGOING CONVERSATION. 
          THANK YOU.
