          UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT COVID-19, WE TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT ALL COMMUNITY, ALL GOVERNMENT APPROACH. 
          AND I THINK WE'VE CERTAINLY BENEFITED FROM OUR CITY AND COUNTY PARTNERSHIP. 
          WE'VE BENEFITED FROM, UH, THIS STATE AND THE GOVERNOR CONTINUING TO, TO WATCH THE DATA AND, AND ADJUST AND, AND CREATE POLICY, WHICH IS MORE PROTECTIVE. 
          UH, I THINK WE'RE GETTING THAT ALIGNMENT. 
          IT'S CERTAINLY IMPROVING. 
          AND, UM, AND WE'VE GOT TO STAY THE COURSE. 
          AND I'LL TALK A BIT MORE ABOUT THAT HERE IN MY NEXT SLIDE. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          UH, SO MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS OUR, UH, OUR NEW CONFIRMED CASES IN TRAVIS COUNTY. 
          AGAIN, THE YELLOW IS SHOWING OUR SEVEN DAY MOVING AVERAGE. 
          UH, YOU CAN SAY THAT, UH, LAST WEEK I TALKED ABOUT THIS PLATEAU AND OSCILLATION THAT WE WERE SAYING, UH, SINCE THE END OF JULY, NOW WE'RE SEEING A SUBSTANTIAL DECLINE AS WE'VE GOTTEN THROUGH THAT BACKLOG OF CASES. 
          UH, RIGHT NOW OUR SEVEN DAY MOVING AVERAGE OF NEW CASES IS 89. 
          UH, AND THAT'S A PLACE WE HAVEN'T BEEN SINCE JUNE THE 10TH, BUT WHAT I WANT TO REMIND FOLKS ABOUT IS THAT IT TOOK US THREE WEEKS TO GET FROM 89 CASES A DAY TO OUR PEAK AT 558 CASES A DAY ON JULY THE THIRD. 
          AND IT TOOK US TWO MONTHS TO COME BACK DOWN. 
          UH, NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO, TO CROWD BARS. 
          NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO HAVE BARBECUES OR FAMILY GATHERINGS ON LABOR DAY. 
          NOW'S THE TIME TO STAY THE COURSE, UH, BECAUSE IF WE CHANGE OUR BEHAVIOR SIGNIFICANTLY FOUR WEEKS FROM NOW, WE CAN BE BACK IN THAT PLACE AGAIN, WHERE WE'RE IN CRISIS. 
          UH, I KNOW WE WANT TO CELEBRATE, WE WANTED TO BE MORE NORMAL THAN WE HAVE BEEN, BUT IF WE TAKE THOSE LIBERTIES, NOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT A FEW WEEKS FROM NOW. 
          UH, SO AGAIN, WE'VE GOT TO CONTINUE TO URGE TO STAY IN THE COURSE. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IF FOLKS WANT TO GO OUT WITH THEIR HOUSEHOLD TO A RESTAURANT, THAT'S PROBABLY OKAY IF THAT HAPPENED. 
          IF THAT HOUSEHOLD IS LOW RISK, UM, BEYOND THAT, WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL AND WE CERTAINLY NEED TO CALL ON OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE TEENAGERS OR COLLEGE STUDENTS, UH, TO ALSO AVOID THOSE BEHAVIORS AGAIN, WHILE THEY MAY NOT BE AS SEVERELY IMPACTED THOSE AROUND THEM WILL BE. 
          AND, UH, AND WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY.

          UH, THE FACT THAT IT'S GOING DOWN, UH, AS WELL AS THE DECREASE IN POSITIVITY RATES, UH, LET US TO, TO MAKE THE CHANGE TO STAGE THREE LAST WEEK. 
          UM, WE ARE CONTINUING TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS THERE. 
          UH, BUT AGAIN, WE'VE GOTTA BE CAREFUL AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS AND REPORT THIS DAILY ON OUR DASHBOARD. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

          OUR VENTILATOR USE AND OUR ORANGE IS OUR ICU BEDS BEING OCCUPIED RIGHT NOW THAT SEVEN DAY MOVING AVERAGE OF HOSPITALIZATIONS IS AT 152 ICU AT 55 AND VENTILATOR USE AT 35. 
          UH, SO AGAIN, VERY HEALTHY SITUATION FOR THE HOSPITALS. 
          UH, AND I'LL REMIND FOLKS AGAIN, THAT IF THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING OFF BY SEEING A DOCTOR, UH, GETTING ELECTIVE PROCEDURE, NOW'S THE TIME TO GO. 
          THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT, WHAT THE FUTURE'S GOING TO HOLD. 
          UH, SO NOW'S THE TIME TO GET THOSE THINGS TAKEN CARE OF AND, UH, AND GET YOURSELF IN A BETTER HEALTH SITUATION. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THIS GRAPH IS SHOWING OUR, UH, HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS BY RACE AND ETHNICITY. 
          AGAIN, THEY, UH, THE POINTS ON THE RIGHT ARM FROM THE HOSPITALIZATIONS LAST WEEK, UH, CURRENTLY ARE, UH, HISPANIC OR LATIN X POPULATION. 
          AND GREEN IS, UH, IS REPRESENTING 50.5% OF THE HOSPITALIZATIONS LAST WEEK. 
          AGAIN, IT'S A OVERREPRESENTATION OF THEIR, UH, POPULATION IN THE, IN THIS COMMUNITY, UH, OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN, UH, NUMBERS LAST WEEK OR 11.9% ALSO OVER REPRESENTING THEM AS COMPARED TO THEIR, UH, THEIR POPULATION IN TRAVIS COUNTY. 
          UH, AGAIN, THIS CONTINUES TO THE FACT THAT MORE SUBSTANTIAL, THEY ARE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. 
          AND AS DIRECTOR HAYDEN SAID EARLIER, WE WILL CONTINUE THE EFFORTS TO, TO PROVIDE OUTREACH AND PPE MASKS, HAND SANITIZER, AND OTHER ITEMS, UH, PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON THESE COMMUNITIES SO THAT WE CAN DECREASE THE TREND OF TRANSMISSION AND HOSPITALIZATION. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THIS IS A GRAPH OF OUR, UH, HOSPITALIZATIONS BY AGE GROUP. 
          UH, LAST WEEK WE SAW INCREASES IN OUR 70 TO 79 AGE GROUP, AS WELL AS OUR 50 TO 59 AGE. 
          UM, SO, UH, WE'LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THESE. 
          WE DID SEE A DECREASE IN OUR NEW ADMISSIONS FOR OUR YOUNGER AGE GROUP, OUR 10 TO 19 AGE GROUP THAT WE'VE SEEN, UH, SEVERAL WEEKS OF HIGHER NUMBERS. 
          AND SO THAT IS CERTAINLY REFRESHING. 
          UH, AND AGAIN, WE'LL CONTINUE TO RECORD THESE AND SHARE THESE, UH, ON OUR, UH, COVID-19 DASHBOARD. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          MARION COUNCIL. 
          THIS IS A, UH, AN UPDATE ON OUR, UH, NURSING HOME AND LONGTERM CARE FACILITY, UH, CHART.

          UM, SO THEN I'LL, I'LL THINK, AND WE'RE GOING TO HER TEAM. 
          UH, WE HAD SOME PREVIOUS ATTORNEY GENERAL RULINGS RELATED TO DISCLOSURE OF THIS INFORMATION AND, UH, AND THOSE WERE RELATED TO, UH, PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS AND, UH, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S ADVICE, UH, HAS ALLOWED US TO SHARE THIS. 
          NOW I KNOW A LOT OF FOLKS HAVE, HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT WHY WE HAVEN'T SHARED THIS IN WHILE WE'VE BEEN SO PROTECTIVE OF THIS INFORMATION IN THE PAST, AND IT'S NOT AT ALL ABOUT TRANSPARENCY. 
          IT'S ABOUT THE LAW, UH, AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION INAPPROPRIATELY MEANS A CRIMINAL, UH, PENALTY FOR ME, UH, AND, AND FOR THE CITY. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'D HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS LEGAL AND I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK OF NOW. 
          THEY HAD MORE IN THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, UH, THAT, UH, HAS, HAS FOUND A WAY FOR US TO SHARE THIS. 
          NOW, HAVING SAID THAT OUR NUMBERS IN THE NURSING HOMES CONTINUED DECREASE, UH, 42 TOTAL CASES, UH, THIS WEEK, UH, AS A DIRECTOR, HAYDEN SAID, WE'VE GOT TO DECREASE, UH, REQUESTS FOR HER SUPPORT FROM THESE FACILITIES. 
          YOU CAN SEE THIS WEEK, WE HAVE A NUMBER THAT ARE INDICATED IN GRAY, WHICH TELLS US THAT THEY'VE GONE THREE WEEKS WITHOUT ANY NEW CASES THAT ARE LIKELY TO COME OFF THE LIST NEXT WEEK. 
          UH, SO AGAIN, WE'RE PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOU. 
          UM, SIMILAR INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ON, UH, THE STATE, UH, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION WEBSITE, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE THIS INFORMATION WEEKLY. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          UH, THIS IS AN UPDATE OF OUR POSITIVITY RATES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY. 
          I GAVE THEM, THIS IS A DATA FEED, WHICH COMES IN FROM MULTIPLE PARTNERS, UH, THROUGHOUT TRAVIS COUNTY. 
          WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THEIR PARTNERSHIP IN SHARING OF THEIR DATA. 
          UH, THE DATA INPUT INTO THIS FEED REPRESENTS ABOUT 231,000 
          [00:20:02]
COVERT TESTS. 
          UH, SO IT'S A, IT'S A HUGE NUMBER OF TESTS. 
          AGAIN. 
          UM, WE ARE, ARE PLEASE BE ABLE TO SHARE THIS. 
          UH, I WANT TO GIVE YOU TWO UPDATES ON THOSE ONE IS, IS THE PERCENT POSITIVE A WEEK 32 LAST WEEK REPORTED THAT AT 7.6%, IT'S BEEN UPDATED TO 8.3%, UH, WITH SOME ADDITIONAL, UH, TESTS WHICH HAD NOT BEEN REPORTED FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME THAT WE RECEIVED LAST WEEK. 
          AND THIS WEEK'S A PERCENT POSITIVE FOR WEEK 33, WHICH WAS ENDED TWO WEEKS AGO IS 6.2%. 
          AGAIN, WE'RE CONTINUING TO FOLLOW THE DATA WHEN WE STARTED A TWICE WEEKLY DATA FEED, UH, STARTING YESTERDAY FROM THESE FACILITIES, UH, WHO ARE CASTING OUR HOPE IS THAT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, WE WILL BE ABLE TO REPORT ON THE POSITIVITY RATE FOR THE IMMEDIATE PAST WEEK, UH, WHICH IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE WOULD BE WEEK 34. 
          I WILL TELL YOU THAT, UH, THE CURRENT DATA THAT WE HAVE IN HAND SHOWS THAT THE NUMBERS ARE STILL CONTINUING TO IMPROVE, UH, SOMEWHAT, UH, AS COMPARED TO WEEK 33. 
          AGAIN, UH, HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK WE'LL BE ABLE TO, TO, TO PROVIDE WEEK 34 AND POSSIBLY WEEK 35. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          UH, AGAIN, THIS IS A GRAPH OF R D THE SAME DATA, BUT BROKEN DOWN BY RACE AND ETHNICITY. 
          UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A NEW LINE ON HERE, UH, FOR AMERICAN INDIAN OR ALASKA NATIVE. 
          UH, THERE IS A, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT, UH, UH, INCREASE. 
          YOU CAN SEE IT OVER TIME IN TERMS OF, OF THAT GROUP'S POSITIVITY RATE. 
          I WILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY, THE NUMBERS OF TESTS PERFORMED IN THAT PARTICULAR GROUP IS RELATIVELY SMALL. 
          SO IT'S GOING TO BE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE SOME SUBSTANTIAL SWINGS, UH, IN THE PERCENTAGES. 
          UH, I, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT, UH, OUR, UH, HISPANIC OR LATINO GROUP, WHICH IS REPRESENTED IN THE GRADE IS A, IS CONTINUING TO DECREASE, UH, WHICH IS FANTASTIC. 
          YOU CAN SEE THAT WEEK 35, AT LEAST THE DATA WE HAVE AN ENHANCED SO FAR, UH, IS SHOWING ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 10% LAST WEEK, ABOUT 12%. 
          UH, SO FOR WEEK 34, AGAIN, OUR GOAL IS TO GET EVERYBODY BELOW THIS RED DOTTED LINE, WHICH IS THE 5% MARK NOW. 
          SO WE'VE GOT MORE WORK TO DO, UH, BUT AGAIN, WE ARE, WE ARE PROGRESSING AND WE ARE CERTAINLY COMFORTABLE THAT AS A COMMUNITY, UH, AS WE BAND TOGETHER, WE CAN DO THAT. 
          UH, AND I DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE MANY BUSINESS PARTNERS, UH, WHO HAVE BEEN PROVIDING FUNDS AND MASKS TO MANY OF OUR, UH, UH, COMMUNITY GROUPS REPRESENTING OUR COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. 
          UH, THOSE EFFORTS ARE NOTICED, UH, THEY ARE MUCH APPRECIATED BY OUR COMMUNITY AND THEY NEED TO CONTINUE. 
          UH, WE DO HAVE GROUPS THAT HAVE TROUBLE AFFORDING MASKS AND HAND SANITIZED, CERTAINLY OTHER THINGS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. 
          UH, AND, UH, WE ARE GRATEFUL FROM PUBLIC HEALTH THAT WE SEE THAT COMMUNITY THAT CAN BE GOING ON. 
          WE'VE SEEN THE BEAUTY OF, OF THOSE PARTNERSHIPS AND THE GENEROSITY OF, OF OUR PUBLIC AND OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN HELPING, UH, PUSH THESE LINES DOWN. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THIS IS A, UH, A GRAPH SHOWING YOU THE, UH, HOSTILE, THE CASES BY ZIP CODE. 
          UH, YOU CAN SAY AGAIN THAT, UH, WE HAVE OUR SEVEN EIGHT, SEVEN, FOUR, FOUR, UH, WHICH CONTINUES TO BE AS A SIGNIFICANT AREA FOR TRANSMISSION OF DISEASE, SEVEN EIGHT SIX SIX FIVE (786) 607-8681, UH, AS OUR, AS OUR TOP SIP CODES, THIS IS JUST THROUGH THE AUSTIN PUBLIC HEALTH, UM, PORTAL. 
          SO THIS WILL INCLUDE, UH, OUR, OUR COUNTY PARTNERS, WILLIAMSON COUNTY AND, AND BASTROP, UH, WHO ARE ALSO FEEDING INFORMATION INTO THIS, UH, INTO THIS DATA. 
          UH, BUT AGAIN, WE, UH, AS STARTER HAYDEN SAID, WE CONTINUE OUR FOCUS ON THOSE ZIP CODES THAT ARE BEING MORE SUBSTANTIALLY IMPACTED. 
          AND WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT, UH, UH, PERHAPS AS EARLY AS TODAY, WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE PUBLICLY THE POSITIVITY RATES BY ZIP CODE. 
          OUR TEAM'S WORKING HARD ON GETTING THAT AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY, THE INFORMATION IS ACCURATE AND THE DATA FEEDS ARE UPDATED REGULARLY. 
          UH, SO WE'RE HOPEFUL AGAIN, BUT THAT WILL COME OUT TODAY OR MORE LATER THIS WEEK. 
          NEXT SLIDE, MAYOR COUNCIL, QUICK UPDATE ON, ON SCHOOLS AS, UH, AS DIRECTOR HAYDEN MENTIONED, UH, WE CURRENTLY HAVE A NUMBER OF OUTBREAKS ASSOCIATED WITH, WITH SCHOOLS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, 
          [00:25:01]
UH, THAT ARE OPEN TO SOME EXTENT RIGHT NOW. 
          UH, WE HAVE FOUR CLUSTERS WHICH REPRESENT MORE THAN 25 CASES, UH, WHICH ARE ACTIVE, UH, SINCE LAST WEEK. 
          UH, SOME OF THOSE CLUSTERS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING, UH, PROGRAMS ESSENTIALLY WITH FOOTBALL TEAMS. AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT FOLKS UNDERSTAND THIS. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, AS WE'VE SAID BEFORE, OUR GUIDANCE TO SCHOOLS WAS THAT, THAT THESE ACTIVITIES WHERE PEOPLE CAN'T STAY MASKED MORE, THEY CAN'T SAY SOCIAL DISTANCE OR BOTH, UH, IS GOING TO LEAD TO OPPORTUNITY FOR AN INFECTION AND TRANSMISSION OF DISEASE. 
          UH, WE'VE ASKED THE SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE NOTICE TO PARENTS BEFORE THEY SEND THEIR STUDENTS TO AT LEAST ACTIVITIES THAT IT WILL INCREASE THEIR RISK AND ALSO INCREASE THE RISK OF, OF HOUSEHOLD TRANSMISSION. 
          UH, AND NOW WE HAVE OF COURSE EVIDENCE THAT THAT IS HAPPENING. 
          UM, SOME OF THIS, AT LEAST ONE OF THE KIND OF STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PROGRAMS AT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS, UH, HAS CLOSED. 
          WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE ADVICE AND GUIDANCE AS THEY, UH, AS THEY FACE THESE, UH, THESE OUTBREAKS. 
          AND AGAIN, OUR HOPE IS TO CONTAIN THEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND PREVENT FURTHER SPREAD AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THESE CHALLENGES. 
          UH, THESE ARE WHY, UH, WE'VE MADE THE RECOMMENDATION THAT SCHOOL'S ONLY OPEN AT 25%. 
          UH, AS WE TAKE RISK, WE WANT TO TAKE SMALL RISK MEASURED RISK, DETERMINE HOW WE'RE DOING WITH THOSE SMALL RISKS BEFORE WE MOVE ON. 
          AND I'M GRATEFUL TO SEE THAT THEY ISD, UH, LEANDER LAKE TRAVIS, UH, ARE ALL LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT THAT 25% REOPENING PROCESS WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY DO START UP, WE'RE DELAYING, UH, COMPLETELY THE, THE, UM, IN-PERSON EDUCATION, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO DETERMINE WHAT'S SAFE AND WHAT'S NOT, AND, AND REFINE THOSE PROCESSES. 
          UM, OUR, UH, TASK FORCE CONTINUES TO MEET, UH, THEY HAD THEIR, UH, MAINLY WITH A SINGLE POINTS OF CONTACT AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ON FRIDAY LAST WEEK. 
          TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE PROCESSES. 
          UH, OUR TEAM IS WORKING ON A, UH, ONLINE PORTAL SO THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAN PROVIDE STATISTICAL INFORMATION REGARDING CASES IN THEIR SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS, UH, THAT WE CAN SHARE. 
          UH, AND WE'RE ALSO SENDING A, A FORM I NOTICE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS. 
          UM, I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS. 
          UH, THEY'RE GOING TO HELP US WITH THE CONTACT TRACING PROCESS THAT ALSO INVOLVES PROVIDING NOTICE TO STUDENTS AND IN FACULTY AND STAFF AND PARENTS, IF SOMEBODY IS COVERT POSITIVE, OR IF THEY'RE CLOSE CONTACT OF WHAT THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES ARE, UH, TO THE SCHOOL. 
          AND, UH, AND UNDER THE LAW TO ENSURE THAT THAT FOLKS ARE STAYING HOME. 
          NOW, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STAY QUARANTINED FOR THE FULL 14 DAYS, UH, IF THEY, IF THEY WERE TO GET A TEST, UH, BEFORE THAT END OF THAT 14 DAYS. 
          AND THE ANSWER RIGHT NOW IS YES. 
          UH, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY GET A TEST ON DAY THREE OR DAY SEVEN OR DAY 10, WHICH IS NEGATIVE RIGHT NOW, THE GUIDANCE IS THE FULL 14 DAYS BECAUSE THAT DISEASE CAN MANIFEST ANY TIME IN THAT 14 DAY PERIOD. 
          OUR HOPE IS THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THE FALL, WE WILL GATHER MORE INFORMATION AND DATA, WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO SHORTEN THAT, UH, WHICH MAY BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR US, UH, MAINTAINING THE CONTINUITY OF EDUCATION AND RETURNING TEACHERS AND STUDENTS BACK TO SCHOOL SOONER. 
          IF WE CAN DO THAT SAFELY, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, UH, I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH BRIEFLY ON ONE FACT VERSUS FICTION THING. 
          UH, AND THAT'S RELATED TO COVID-19 DEATHS. 
          UH, I THINK WE ALL SAW IN THE MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA, UH, CLAIMS THAT ONLY 6% OF RECORDED DEATHS WERE ACTUALLY COVID-19 DEATHS. 
          UH, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FALSE. 
          UH, SO LET ME EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SHARED YESTERDAY BY CDC. 
          CDC PROVIDED THE INFORMATION ON ALL THE DEATHS AND THEN PROVIDED INFORMATION ON OTHER THINGS LISTED ON THE CAUSES OF DEATH. 
          UH, THINGS LIKE INFLUENZA AND PNEUMONIA, UH, UH, ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME, RESPIRATORY FAILURE, RESPIRATORY AT RISK. 
          THESE ARE ALL THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN SOMEBODY HAS A SEVERE DISEASE, THEY DEVELOP PNEUMONIA, THEY MIGHT DEVELOP A RDS, UH, THEY MIGHT DEVELOP RESPIRATORY FAILURE FAILURE, AND THAT WILL CERTAINLY 
          [00:30:01]
DEVELOP RESPIRATORY ARREST BEFORE THEY DIE. 
          UH, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COVID-19 OR NOT. 
          THAT'S JUST PART OF THE PATHOLOGY OF COVID-19. 
          SIMILARLY, ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU SEE SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS LISTED, UH, RELATED TO COVID-19 AND, AND THE CAUSES OF DEATH. 
          AND THESE ARE VERY COMMON UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY, UH, HEART DISEASE, UM, UH, HEART FAILURE, UH, YOU KNOW, CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE, WHICH MEANS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOMEBODY HAD A STROKE OR A TIA IN THE PAST, UH, HYPERTENSION, SEPSIS OF COURSES IS CERTAINLY RELATED TO COVID-19. 
          BUT TO GIVE SOME PERSPECTIVE, UH, GIVE YOU A FEW SLIDES HERE. 
          EXCELLENT, PLEASE. 
          ONE OF THE MOST COMMON THINGS, I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING ABOUT RISK FACTORS, HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, HEART DISEASE. 
          THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE THAT THESE THINGS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH, WITH PEOPLE WHO DIED, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS THINGS ARE NOT RARE CONDITIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          WE CAN SEE IN THIS SLIDE THAT A 8.8% OF PEOPLE THAT IN TRUST COUNTY HAD DIABETES IN THIS PERIOD FROM 2014 TO 2018, 11.6% IN TEXAS. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, UH, OBESITY. 
          UH, AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S SUBSTANTIAL VARIATION, BUT ABOUT 25% OF INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY, UH, ARE OBESE. 
          UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'LL BE CITI CERTAINLY IMPACTS OTHER COMMUNITIES MORE SUBSTANTIALLY, UH, AS COMPARED TO THE GENERAL COMMUNITY, BUT ABSOLUTELY NOT A RARE THING, UH, IN TRAVIS COUNTY AND CERTAINLY NOT IN TEXAS. 
          SO PLEASE AND HYBRID TENSION AGAIN, WHEN SAY THAT HYPERTENSION RISK GROWS WITH AGE, UH, THOSE WHO WERE BETWEEN 45 AND 64, LIKE MYSELF, UH, 35 TO 36% OF PEOPLE IN THAT AGE GROUP SUFFER FROM HYPERTENSION. 
          WHEN WE GET TO 65, PLUS IT'S OVER HALF, AGAIN, VERY, VERY COMMON DISEASES IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND CERTAINLY THINGS WHICH HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEATH IN COVID-19 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          UH, WE REMAIN AT STAGE THREE OF RISKS AS A REMINDER. 
          THIS MEANS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HIGHER RISK THEY'RE OVER THE AGE OF 65, THEY HAVE UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS OR THEY'RE MEMBERS OF A, OF A COMMUNITY, WHICH IS MORE SEVERELY IMPACTED LIKE OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY AND OUR LATIN X COMMUNITY. 
          YOU NEED TO BEHAVE IN A MORE PROTECTIVE WAY BECAUSE YOUR RISKS ARE HIGHER. 
          AND THAT MEANS AVOIDING SOCIAL GATHERINGS AND GATHERINGS OVER 10. 
          THAT MEANS A BUILDING DON ESSENTIAL TRAVEL. 
          THAT MEANS DON'T GO AT RESTAURANTS AND BARS FOR THOSE WHO ARE AT LOWER RISK. 
          UH, AND IT'S, IT ALSO MEANS THAT, UH, THAT YOU SHOULD AVOID THOSE SOCIAL GATHERINGS AND GATHERINGS THAT WERE 10. 
          AGAIN, WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS AND WE COULDN'T BE THREE WEEKS AWAY FROM A BAD STATE AGAIN, IF WE RELAXED TOO MUCH. 
          SO WE MUST CONTINUE TO BE PROTECTIVE. 
          WE MUST CONTINUE TO BE VIGILANT IN TERMS OF, OF HOW WE'RE PROTECTING OURSELVES SO THAT WE CAN PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS. 
          MAYOR JOHNSON EVER TOLD HER HE GOT SOME NUMBER ALTAR YOU'RE MUTED. 
          KEVIN, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DIRECTOR OF SCOTT AND DR. 
          SCOTT AND DIRECTOR HAYDEN. 
          UM, I WANTED TO ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR CAMPUS COMMUNITIES. 
          UM, IF YOU COULD GIVE US A SENSE, I KNOW THE NEWS HAS CARRIED REPORTS OF SOME CASES AT UT IN SOME CASES AT UT SAN MARCUS, WHICH OF COURSE IS A LITTLE APP. 
          WE'RE ALL, UM, PROSPECTIVE ON THOSE CAMPUSES. 
          AND ALSO, UM, I KNOW THAT THE NEWS CARRIED A STORY ABOUT SOME PARTY, AT LEAST A PARTY, UM, THAT WAS GOING ON IN WEST CAMPUS AS PART OF A CAMPUS GROUP. 
          UM, I KNOW YOU SENT OUT LETTERS IN THE WAKE OF THAT, BUT, UM, WHAT ARE, WHAT'S THE OUT, WHAT'S THE STATUS OF OUTREACH TO THOSE CAMPUS GROUPS OR OFF CAMPUS GROUPS RATHER, UH, AND ALSO WHETHER THERE ARE, WHETHER YOU HAVE, UM, WHAT KIND OF OUTREACH BEYOND THAT LETTER, WHAT KIND OF OUTREACH IS PUBLIC HEALTH DOING? WHAT KIND OF ENFORCEMENT PRACTICES ARE UNDERWAY? I HEAR REPORTS OF OTHER, YOU KNOW, GATHERINGS LARGER THAN THAT IN 10 
          [00:35:01]
TAKING PLACE AROUND SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES. 
          UM, AND ALSO IF YOU COULD LIKEWISE ADDRESS, I NOTICED AN ARTICLE YESTERDAY ABOUT A CAMPUS THAT ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY THAT IS DOING SEWAGE TESTING TO TRY TO ISOLATE, UM, DORMITORIES, WHERE THERE MAY BE ASYMPTOMATIC CASES, AND THEN THEY FOCUS THEIR TESTING IN ON THAT. 
          AND IF YOU'VE HEARD WHETHER ANY OF THE COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES IN OUR AREA ARE CONSIDERING THOSE KINDS OF TESTING, SO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT QUESTIONS, THE SEWAGE TESTING, AND OTHER OTHER PRACTICES THAT ARE GOING ELSEWHERE, THE EXTENT TO WHICH THEY'RE BEING DEPLOYED HERE IN AUSTIN, UM, WHAT KIND OF ADDITIONAL OUTREACH AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS YOU'RE TAKING, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE OFF CAMPUS GROUPS THAT ARE, THAT ARE FRANKLY, YOU KNOW, NOT, NOT FOLLOWING REGULATIONS THAT ARE IN PLACE. 
          AND THEN I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SCHOOL CLUSTERS THAT WHEN THEY NEED TO COME BACK TO TURN UP, I'LL BE HAPPY TO START. 
          I THINK DIRECTOR HAYDEN WILL WANT TO COMMENT AS WELL. 
          UM, WE HAVE A VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH UT AND THE DELL MEDICAL SCHOOL AND, UH, HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM TO, UM, IDENTIFY STRATEGIES TO, TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES ON AND OFF CAMPUS. 
          AS YOU MENTIONED, WE SENT OUT LETTERS TO THE SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES. 
          UM, WE CONTINUALLY THE, THE MESSAGING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF, UH, COLLEGE AGE STUDENTS AND THEIR ENGAGEMENT AND PROTECTIVE ACTIONS. 
          AND AS DIRECTOR HAYDEN SAID, UH, WE'VE GOT A TEAM THROUGH CODE ENFORCEMENT, AS WELL AS THE FIRE MARSHALL'S OFFICE, UH, WHO IS ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN MONITORING THOSE SITUATIONS AND, UH, ADDRESSING THE ONES THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO BE THERE FOR A MINUTE, NECESSARILY C I IS OUR, SOME OF OUR CAMPUS AREAS ON THAT LIST THAT ARE BEING MONITORED. 
          AND YOU CAN GET BACK TO ME AFTERWARDS. 
          I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY SEE THE ZIP CODE, BUT I DIDN'T. 
          I ALSO DIDN'T, UM, HAVE MY SOLE PRESENTATION UP. 
          I DON'T HAVE, I WAS JUST WATCHING IT ON THE SCREEN. 
          MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THAT COULD BEEN THE FIRE MARSHALL OFFICE OR WORKING IN THAT HOMETOWN AREA, UH, ADDRESSING SOME OF THOSE ROSE HOTSPOTS, UH, THE RESTAURANTS, BARS THAT ARE NOW RESTAURANTS, UM, WHICH ARE, YOU KNOW, PLACES WHERE WE'RE SEEING PROBLEMS. UM, I DON'T DO LIKE A PAINTING MAY HAVE SOME FURTHER DETAIL ON LONG BUTTER THAT INCLUDES WEST CAMPUS OR NOT. 
          I DON'T HAVE THAT THIS TIME WITH, UH, WITH THE ENFORCEMENT. 
          UM, WE, WE ARE GOING TO WORK WITH, UM, THE PACE TEAM IS, IS GOING TO COME BACK AND START DOING SOME MORE COLLECTIVELY THAT PAYS TEAM, UM, IS, UM, IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, UM, FIRE DEPARTMENT POLICE AS WELL AS COAL, UM, WHICH INCLUDES THE FIRE MARSHALL. 
          UM, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM, BUT, BUT THAT, UM, THAT TEAMS IN, UM, INFORMATION WAS SET UP. 
          SO FOLKS CAN GO IN AND IF YOU'VE ISSUED WARNINGS, YOU CAN ENTER THAT YOU ISSUED THOSE WARNINGS FOR THOSE BUSINESSES AND ESTABLISHMENTS. 
          AND THEN, UM, FROM THERE, UM, IT'S A PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM. 
          SO FROM THE WARNINGS AND THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE THAT'S INITIALLY PROVIDED, UM, THEN IT MOVES IT TOWARD, UM, ENFORCEMENT. 
          AND IT JUST REALLY DEPENDS ON, UM, IF IT'S A FOOD ESTABLISHMENT, UM, YOU KNOW, THEN IT COMES BACK TO DR. 
          SCOTT AND MYSELF, UM, AND WE CAN MOVE TOWARD OTHER PENALTIES, UM, AS WELL AS CLOSURE. 
          SO THERE ARE SOME VERY SEVERE, SEVERE PENALTIES FOR NOT, UM, UM, ADHERING TO THE ENFORCEMENT. 
          UM, THE OTHER, UM, OUTREACH THAT WE'VE DONE IS, IS, UM, WE DID ON FRIDAY RECEIVE THE LIST OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES, UM, AROUND THE UT AREA. 
          SO THE WEST CAMPUS, UM, RIVERSIDE, AS WELL AS, UM, FAR WEST AND, UM, ONE OTHER LOCATION THAT THEY PUT ON THE LIST. 
          UM, SO THIS WEEK, UM, DR. 
          SCOTT'S ASSISTANT IS SENDING OUT THAT INFORMATION TO THOSE COMMUNITIES. 
          SO THEY WILL HAVE THAT AWARENESS. 
          AND WE'VE ALSO, UM, ARE INCLUDING, UM, UH, A, UM, COLOR COPY OF A DOCUMENT THAT THEY CAN POST THROUGHOUT THOSE, UM, 
          [00:40:01]
FACILITIES AND THOSE RESIDENCES AS WELL AS APARTMENTS. 
          UM, OUR NEXT STEP IS, IS, UM, WE ARE SCHEDULING A MEETING, UM, WITH, UM, AS MANY GROUPS AS WE CAN. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH, UM, UT HAS, UM, WITH ONE OF THEIR VICE PRESIDENTS, A COUPLE OF THEIR, UH, VICE PRESIDENTS AND DIRECTORS ON SCHEDULING A COUPLE OF MEETINGS WITH THE FRATERNITY SORORITY, AS WELL AS OTHER GROUPS, UM, TO PROVIDE THEM INFORMATION. 
          UM, AND THEN THEY ARE UPDATING ONE OF THEIR, UM, HANDOUTS THAT THEY PROVIDE EVERY YEAR ABOUT HEALTH AND SAFETY. 
          SO THEY'RE GOING TO UPDATE THAT AND INCLUDE SOME INFORMATION FROM US. 
          SO WE'LL WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THEM ON THAT. 
          SO WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS, UM, UH, EVOLVING WORK. 
          UM, AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION FROM THE SCHOOLS ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEIR STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, APARTMENT COMPLEX, ET CETERA, ARE LIVING, THEN WE WILL BE SENDING THAT INFORMATION OUT, UM, TO THOSE APARTMENT COMPLEXES AS WELL. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT, UM, WE WILL ALSO, UM, SHARE THIS INFORMATION, UM, WITH, ON OUR SITE, UM, WITH OUR CODE. 
          UM, COBIT SET UP THAT WE HAVE, THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND WE HAVE A COUPLE IDEAS THAT WE'LL SEND ON TO OF SOME OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE UMBRELLA ORGANIZATIONS FOR SOME OF THOSE BEST CAMPUS APARTMENTS AND, AND MAYBE SOME OTHER UMBRELLA ORGANIZATIONS THAT MIGHT HELP WITH YOUR OUTREACH. 
          THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          UM, AND IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, WE ARE OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE COMMUNICATED TO THE UNIVERSITIES THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE WILLING TO MEET WITH GROUPS, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS, IS TO PROVIDE THE EDUCATION. 
          UM, JUST REALLY LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE ORDERS THAT WE HAVE, THE SUCCESS THAT WE HAVE, BUT WE'RE ALSO LEANING ON THEM TO BE LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, A LOT OF YOUNG FOLKS HAVE DONE SOME REALLY GREAT THINGS AND WE'RE GONNA LEAN ON THEM TO BE LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT WHO ON YOUR STAFF IS THE RIGHT PERSON TO BE COMMUNICATING WITH? YOU CAN SAY YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, DIRECTOR NINA. 
          AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION WAS THE ONE ABOUT WHETHER YOU KNOW, OF ANY UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN THE AREA THAT ARE DOING THAT KIND OF APPROACH THAT AT LEAST ONE OTHER UNIVERSITY IS WHERE THERE, YOU WERE SAYING SEWAGE TESTING TO ICE TO IDENTIFY, UH, DORMS THAT WHERE THEY MIGHT WANT TO GO BACK AND DO MORE, UM, TARGETED TESTING OF ALL OF THE RESIDENTS. 
          IT DOESN'T JUST IDENTIFY AS OF COURSE THE PRESENCE OF, OF, COBIT NOT, IT DOESN'T TRACK IT TO WHO THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE. 
          UH, NO, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT. 
          SO IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION, WE'D LOVE IF YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH US, UM, WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THAT. 
          UM, I AM AWARE THAT, UM, WATER WAS WORKING WITH UT ON A COUPLE OF STUDIES AS WELL. 
          UM, SO I KNOW THAT IS UNDERWAY. 
          UM, I KNOW JUST A LITTLE BIT, NOT A LOT ABOUT IT, SO WE'D HAVE TO GET, UM, DIRECTORS, ARTISTS TO PROBABLY SEND INFORMATION ABOUT THAT PROCESS. 
          I'LL SEND IT ON. 
          IT WAS THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA ARTICLE ABOUT IT YESTERDAY. 
          SO I'M MAYOR WHEN WE'VE GONE AROUND, IF YOU COULD COME BACK TO ME, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OTHER SCHOOL CLUSTERS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANKS. 
          YOU CHAT SERVER ALTAR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I WANTED TO JUST MENTION, I'M ALSO PRETTY SURE THAT AUSTIN WATER WAS TALKING ABOUT, UM, AND LOOKING INTO WHETHER THE WASTEWATER WAS A POSSIBILITY. 
          I HAVE SOME CONSTITUENTS WHO WERE RAISING THAT ISSUE MONTHS AGO, AND I DON'T REMEMBER RIGHT NOW WHERE THAT, WHERE THAT LANDED. 
          UM, SO I HAD A QUESTION FOR DR. 
          S SCOTT AND, AND I'M TRYING TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION BECAUSE, UM, WE'RE, WE'RE SEEING SOME CONFUSION IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, SO AT WORK SESSION LAST WEEK, YOU TALKED ABOUT A NEW GOAL OF LESS THAN 5% POSITIVITY ACROSS ALL RACIAL DEMOGRAPHICS. 
          UM, WHAT WE'RE HEARING IS THAT MANY OF THE PUBLIC HAVE INTERPRETED THAT TO MEAN THAT UNTIL WE REACH A POSITIVITY RATE OF LESS THAN 5%, WE WILL NOT MOVE INTO STAGE TWO RISK LEVEL. 
          AND I'VE SEEN FOLKS CONTEND FOR EXAMPLE, THAT IF ONLY THREE PEOPLE IN TRAVIS COUNTY NEED TESTS AND ONE NEEDS ONE TEST POSITIVE THAT OUR POSITIVITY RATE WOULD BE 33% AND MAYBE PUSHED BACK INTO A HIGHER RISK STAGE. 
          SO I KNOW YOUR TEAM IS USING AN ARRAY OF METRICS AND LOOKING AT HOW THEY INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER. 
          UM, BUT I NEED YOU TO HELP, UM, DISPEL THIS MYTH AND CLARIFY, UM, SO PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW WE ARE APPROACHING THIS. 
          SO CAN YOU PLEASE HELP CLEAR UP THE CONCERNS THAT WE'RE ONLY USING THE POSITIVITY, RIGHT. 
          AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW WE'RE MEASURING OUR PROGRESS, WHICH METRICS WE'RE USING, 
          [00:45:01]
HOW WE'RE USING THE POSITIVITY RATE AND THEN PROVIDE INFORMATION ON WHAT METRICS NEED TO BE MET TO REACH STAGE TWO. 
          AND AGAIN, I'M NOT, I'M JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY THIS. 
          I'M NOT ADVOCATING THAT THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT, BUT THAT, THAT SORT OF MEME IS OUT THERE AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS IT, UM, BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          YES. 
          WE ARE USING A NUMBER OF MEASURES IN DETERMINING RISK. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, TWO OF THE PRIMARY MEASURES ARE THE POSITIVITY RATE AND THE, THE NEW HOSPITALIZATIONS OR NEW ADMISSIONS TO THE HOSPITAL THAT WE'VE BEEN TRACKING ALL ALONG. 
          UM, WHERE ARE OTHER INDICATORS? HOSPITAL CAPACITY, UH, ARE, ARE DOUBLING TIME, UH, AND IN SOME OTHERS. 
          SO IT'S SORT OF A COMBINATION OF THOSE THINGS, UH, WHERE WE GOING TO BE TO GET TO STAGE TWO. 
          YES, NO. 
          WOULD LIKE TO BUILD LESS THAN 5% POSITIVITY. 
          YES. 
          UH, THE HOSPITALIZATIONS NEED TO BE UNDER 10 PER DAY ON THAT SEVEN DAY MOVING AVERAGE FOR AT LEAST A WEEK. 
          UM, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE OF COURSE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR HOSPITALS IN ICU OR IN GOOD SHAPE TO BE ABLE TO ACCEPT MORE RISK, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S NOT A MAGICAL FORMULA, UH, FOR DETAILING THIS. 
          IT'S, IT'S LOOKING AT A NUMBER OF MEASURES, UH, TALKING TO, UH, OUR, OUR COLLEAGUES AND EXPERTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES, AND THEN MAKING A DETERMINATION. 
          UM, BUT NO, WE'RE NOT, NOT FOCUSED ON ONLY ONE MEASURE. 
          UH, AT THIS STAGE IT'S A CLUSTER OF MEASURES. 
          AND THEN EVEN AS YOU'RE MEASURING POSITIVITY, YOU'RE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION, I ASSUME THE WHOLE UNIVERSE OF THE NUMBERS THAT ARE BEING TESTED AND THE RATE AT WHICH WE'RE BEING ABLE TO TEST PEOPLE AND WHERE WE, IN A SITUATION WHERE WE WERE ONLY TESTING FOUR PEOPLE, WHICH WOULD BE GREAT IN SOME SENSE, IF THAT'S ALL WE NEEDED TO TEST AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OUT OF THE FOUR WERE POSITIVE, WE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE LOOKING AT THAT AT TRUE RATE, CORRECT. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          AND AGAIN, SMALLER JURISDICTIONS MAY HAVE THAT ISSUE AND CERTAINLY HAVE SEEN THAT ISSUE IN THE PAST WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY TEST 50 PEOPLE AND IN 10 OF THEM ARE, AND THEY END UP WITH A, AN ALARMINGLY HIGH RATE. 
          THAT'S NOT REALLY THE CASE HERE PROBABLY HAVE SEEN SIGNIFICANT DECREASES IN THE NUMBERS FOR TESTING, UH, THE NUMBERS FOR THE WEEK THAT I SHOWED YOU WERE NINE TO 10,000 TESTS. 
          UM, SO THERE'S STILL A LOTS OF TESTING HAPPENING. 
          IT'S JUST NOT, YOU KNOW, 15 OR 16,000 THAT WE SAW IN JUNE FOR A WEEK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD, AND, AND YOU TOUCHED ON THIS, SOME IN ANSWER TO COUNCIL MEMBER TOGO'S QUESTIONS ON WEST CAMPUS, UM, WHO HAS RESPONSIBILITY OR ENFORCING THE RULES, THEY IN WEST CAMPUS OR RIVERSIDE OR FAR WEST, AND WHAT ROLE DOES UT PLAY IN THAT IF THAT ENFORCEMENT FALLS ON US? SURE. 
          SO LEGAL ENFORCEMENT OUTSIDE OF THE CAMPUS PROPER IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY. 
          UM, THEY, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE UNIVERSITY IS, IS ALSO A PART OF THAT BECAUSE, UH, THOSE STUDENTS ARE PART OF THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE ON CAMPUS OR NOT. 
          UH, AND MY HOPE IS THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRICT ABOUT, ABOUT THEIR ENFORCEMENT AND THEIR, THEIR PENALTIES FROM THE ACADEMIC SIDE, UH, FOR THOSE WHO ARE WILLFULLY DISREGARDING THESE PROTECTIONS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S EASY FOR SOMEBODY IN THEIR TEENS OR TWENTIES TO, TO WANT TO NOT BE AS COMPLIANT. 
          UH, THEY WANT TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. 
          THEY RECOGNIZE THAT THEIR RISK OF COMPLICATIONS AND DEATH ARE MUCH SMALLER THAN OTHERS, BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THEM. 
          IT'S ABOUT THE REST OF US. 
          IT'S ABOUT MY PARENTS AND THE GRANDPARENTS IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          THAT'S ABOUT THE FACULTY AND STAFF. 
          IT'S ABOUT THE RESTAURANT OWNERS AND THE RESTAURANT WORKERS. 
          UM, AND THEN WE, WE NEED TO REALLY ENGAGE THOSE STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CIVICALLY MINDED AND THEY UNDERSTAND THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AS PART OF A COMMUNITY. 
          AGAIN, WE HAVE GREAT UNIVERSITIES IN AUSTIN AND THEY ARE KNOWN FOR, FOR THEIR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. 
          STUDENTS ARE KNOWN FOR, FOR BEING ACTIVE IN THAT SPACE. 
          AND MY HOPE IS AS, AS DIRECTOR, MEGAN SAID EARLIER, THAT THESE STUDENTS WILL CHOOSE TO LEAVE AND THAT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AND OUR OTHER UNIVERSITIES WILL CHOOSE TO BE THE ONES THAT SET THE EXAMPLE 
          [00:50:01]
FOR OTHER UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND HOW WE CAN STILL FUNCTION IN A UNIVERSITY SETTING, BUT DO SO SAFELY. 
          CUT IT OUT THERE. 
          IF I COULD ADDRESS COUPLE OF THINGS THAT YOU HAVE THAT YOU ASKED REAL QUICKLY AS WELL. 
          WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT TRIGGERS AND INDICATORS AND VIRTUALLY EVERYBODY WAS USING THE NUMBER OF CASES, WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES, I THINK, IN THE, TO MOVE AWAY FROM CASES, THINGS THAT WERE RELATED TO THE AMOUNT OF TESTING WE DID, AND THAT'S HOW WE ENDED UP WITH HOSPITALIZATIONS. 
          SO THE LIMITATIONS OF DOING ANYTHING THAT'S RELATED TO TESTING, AND IT COULD BE CHANGED BASED ON TESTING IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE REALLY WELL AWARE OF, WHICH IS WHY WE WENT TO HOSPITALIZATIONS AS OUR PRIMARY INDICATOR. 
          AND IT CONTINUES TO BE IN, IN THE WORK THAT, UH, THAT, THAT, THAT DR. 
          SCOTT'S OFFICE, UH, AND DR. 
          HAYDEN'S OFFICE IS CONTINUING TO DO THAT SAD. 
          UH, THE INFECTIVITY NUMBER WE HAVE, WE LOOK AT HOW THAT TRACKS WITH RESPECT TO HOSPITALIZATIONS IN TERMS OF BEING A FORWARD INDICATOR OF WHAT WE MAY OR MAY NOT SEE IN HOSPITALIZATIONS. 
          AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A RELATIONSHIP IT'S NOT AS COMMITTED AS THE HOSPITALIZATION NUMBER, BUT IS AN EARLY INDICATOR OF WHAT WE MIGHT BE SEEING. 
          AND THERE IS A REALLY GOOD, I'LL BE A ROUGH CORRELATION, WHICH IS WHY WE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT NUMBER AS WELL. 
          UH, AND THE OTHER REASON THAT WE ARE GIVING GREATER, UH, ELEVATION TO THAT ISSUE NOW IS BECAUSE AS WE'VE MOVED AWAY FROM HAVING OUR HOSPITAL'S ABOUT TO BE OVERRUN, HOSPITALIZATION NUMBERS HAD A GREAT IMPACT ON PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOR BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO GET THAT IN ICU FOR NOT FILLING UP. 
          NOW THAT THE ICU IS NOT IN A PRESENT DANGER OF FILLING UP. 
          WE'RE FINDING THAT WHEN WE TALK TO PEOPLE WHERE PEOPLE INTERACT, THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE CHANCES ARE THAT SCHOOLS WILL BE ABLE TO STAY OPEN. 
          WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT WHEN A KID GOES, CHILD GOES TO SCHOOL, OR A TEACHER GOES, WE'RE GOING TO RUN INTO SOMEONE WHO'S INFECTED. 
          AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DECIDE, WHEN I GO OUT, DO I GO INSIDE THE RESTAURANT, OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT? WE'RE FINDING FROM A COMMUNICATION STANDPOINT THAT PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW THAT INFORMATION. 
          SO WE'RE ELEVATING THAT BECAUSE IT'S, IT ISN'T EARLY INDICATOR IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE MAKING SENSE TO PEOPLE AS THEY'RE TRYING TO ALTER BEHAVIOR BASED ON THE INFORMATION AND DATA THAT COMES IN. 
          THE LAST THING I WOULD POINT OUT AS THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEBSITE THAT SHOWS THE R NOT FACTOR, WHICH IS THE INFECTIVITY NUMBER IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT'S USED BACK TO THE MASCOT DIMENSION. 
          AND THAT ALSO LOOKS AT MOBILITY DATA BASED ON CELL PHONE USAGE, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE MOVING AROUND NOW, RELATIVE PEOPLE THAT YOU AROUND BEFORE. 
          SO JUST BY WAY OF AN EXAMPLE, THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          THE KEY INDICATOR FOR US IS STILL HOSPITALIZATIONS, BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST OBJECTIVE NUMBER THAT WE HAVE, WHICH IS WHY I'VE GOT UP HERE. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THAT CLARIFICATION. 
          IF YOU DON'T MIND, I JUST WANT TO TOUCH ON SOMETHING THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED, UM, THAT, THAT PARTY, UH, THAT WENT PRODUCTIVE NUMBER WAS LEARNING HAS BEEN INCREASED TO OVER ONE, 1.03. 
          AND THE UPDATE FROM UT INDICATES A 75% CHANCE OF THE EPIDEMIC IS GROWING. 
          UH, THIS DIRECTLY CORRELATES TO THE MOBILITY DATA, WHICH TELLS US THAT PEOPLE ARE MOVING AROUND A LOT MORE THAN THEY WERE A WEEK AGO. 
          SO AGAIN, WE NEED PEOPLE TO BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL. 
          MY HOPE IS THAT WITH THE MASKING AND THE DISTANCING IN, AND THE, THE HAND HYGIENE THAT WHEN WOULD FIND OUT THAT THEY ARE NOT, IS NOT REALLY THAT HIGH, BUT IT DOES REQUIRE WHEN FOLKS ARE OUT, BUT THEY MUST BE VERY COGNIZANT OF THOSE PROTECTIONS AND THEY MUST MAINTAIN THOSE. 
          AND AGAIN, MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT IF SOMETHING IS A BAR WHERE IT USED TO BE CALLED A BAR, THAT'S GOING TO LEAD TO YOU, HAVING A MASK OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, FACE TO FACE WITH OTHER PEOPLE, NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW. 
          CAN I JUST CLARIFY WHERE THE ARE NOT DATA IS? CAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE SEEN THAT ON OUR DASHBOARD PIECE, THAT IT WAS ON THE UT DASHBOARD, BUT SOMEONE FIND THAT YES, COUNCIL MEMBER, WE WILL SEND OUT A LINK TO YOU AND WE WILL, UH, WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN PUT THAT LINK ON OUR COVID-19 WEBSITE, UH, THE, UH, THE UT OF LAUREN LIVES AND HER GROUP. 
          CAUSE IT HAS BEEN GREAT THROUGH THIS, UH, THIS PANDEMIC UPDATE DATA REGULARLY. 
          UH, SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF, OF THE HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS PROCESS. 
          THE MAYOR SAID THE MOBILITY DATA HAS THOSE THINGS CHANGE. 
          IT WILL AFFECT 
          [00:55:01]
THE ME, THE REPRODUCTIVE NUMBER IN THAT RISK OF, UH, EPIDEMIC GROWTH. 
          YEAH. 
          I UNDERSTAND THE REPRODUCTIVE NUMBER AND WHERE THAT FITS IN THE BROADER THING. 
          I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHERE WE HAD THAT, UM, CALCULATED FOR AUSTIN. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          IT'S GOOD THAT IT'LL BE POSTED IF EVERYBODY'S WATCHING US RIGHT NOW. 
          IT'S COVID DASH 19 DOT TACC DOT U TEXAS.EDU, BACKSLASH AUSTIN DASH PROJECTIONS COUNTS, WHEREVER COSTAR AND THE COUNSELOR REPORT. 
          I HAVE A QUESTIONS ABOUT SLIDES NINE AND 10. 
          MAYBE WE COULD START WITH, WITH SLIDE 10, WHICH HAS THE SKY BLUE BARS ON IT, UM, WHICH IT HAS THE ZIP CODES ON THE BOTTOM. 
          WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS THE Y ACCESS, UH, ACCESS THE RECORD COUNT? IS THAT JUST NUMBER OF CASES, POSITIVE, POSITIVE CASES FOR THAT ZIP CODE WITHIN THE LAST SEVEN DAYS? GOT IT. 
          BUT DO WE HAVE THE PER CAPITA INFORMATION AS WELL? JUST BECAUSE SMALL ZIP CODES WITH A SMALL POPULATION AND A MEDIUM NUMBER OF CASES MIGHT ACTUALLY BE MORE OVERWHELMED THAN OTHERWISE. 
          IF WE DON'T HAVE 10 ZIP CODES HAVE DIFFERENT NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ON THE COUNCIL WHERE I KNOW THE TEAM IS LOOKING INTO THAT, UH, I DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY GET A ONE WAVE IN THE SOIL UNLESS DIRECTOR HAYDEN HAS ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON THAT. 
          NO, THEY THEY'VE NOT FINISHED IT. 
          THEY ARE WORKING ON THAT. 
          UM, AND COMPILING THAT INFORMATION. 
          AND I, AND I KNOW THAT THE GROSS NUMBER AND THE PER CAP NUMBERS ARE BOTH USEFUL. 
          I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN AS MANY OF THE PER CAPITA NUMBERS. 
          AND I DON'T WANT FOLKS POTENTIALLY TO NEGLECT IS ZIP CODE THAT IS PURE AND PEOPLE, BUT MAYBE HAS A REALLY HIGH PER CAPITA NUMBER. 
          SO IF WE COULD PRIVATELY GET THAT OR, OR SHARE IT PUBLICLY, IF IT'S USEFUL, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          UM, AND THEN I HAVE THE OPPOSITE QUESTION ON THE, UH, POSITIVITY RATES, WHICH I THINK WAS SLIDE NINE. 
          AND I KNOW YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING POSITIVITY RATES FOR ZIP CODES AS WELL. 
          DR. 
          S BY IT MIGHT'VE BEEN TWO OR THREE PRESENTATIONS AGO WHERE YOU HAD THIS COACH AND YOU HAD A DIFFERENT SIZE BOTTLES, I THINK BASED ON EITHER POSITIVITY RATE OR NUMBER OF TESTS. 
          AND PART OF THE GOAL IS TO FIGURE OUT, ARE THERE PLACES WHERE WE HAVE A HIGH POSITIVITY RATE? NOT JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF CASES, WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          WE WANT TO BRING DOWN THE NUMBER OF CASES, BUT ALSO BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE UNDER, UNDER UTILIZING OUR TESTING FACILITIES WHERE PEOPLE ARE BUSY OR SCARED, OR WHAT HAVE YOU, UM, HAVE LESS TRUST IN INSTITUTIONS AND THEN DON'T GET TESTS AS MUCH. 
          BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THAT COULD ALSO LEND YOU A HIGHER POSITIVITY RATE AND IS ALSO NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE FOR THERE TO BE A LOT OF CASES, BUT PEOPLE AREN'T UTILIZING THE TESTS. 
          SO HAVE WE GOTTEN TO A PLACE WHERE WE ARE TRACKING AND FEELING COMFORTABLE THAT OUR POSITIVITY RATES ARE REFLECTIVE OF, OF A LOT OF CASES, THAT EVERYBODY IS COMFORTABLE AND EVERYBODY'S GOING AND ACCESSING THE TESTS EQUALLY. 
          AND DOES THAT QUESTION MAKE SENSE? YES, SIR. 
          AND, UH, I THINK A LOT OF THOSE CONCERNS, UH, ABOUT GETTING TESTED HAVE, HAVE RESOLVED, AND IT'S TAKEN A LOT OF OUTREACH NOW BY THE CITY COUNTY, BUT OUR, OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN AND DISPELLING SOME OF THOSE MYTHS AND CONCERNS, UM, YOU KNOW, AS DIRECTOR HAYDEN MENTIONED EARLIER, SOME OF THOSE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD TESTING SITES, UH, ARE DESIGNED TO FOCUS ON, ON THOSE AREAS THAT, THAT ALL, BOTH EXPERIENCING HIGH DISEASE BURDEN, BUT ALSO MAYBE MORE CHALLENGED. 
          AND, UH, IN TERMS OF GETTING A TEST, UH, AGAIN, UH, COMMUNITY CARE HAS ALSO DONE A GREAT JOB AT REACHING OUT TO THOSE COMMUNITIES AND ENSURING THAT FOLKS HAVE ADEQUATE ACCESS TO FREE TESTING. 
          AND THAT IS UPDATED, UH, MAYBE TWO WEEKS AGO. 
          NOW, UH, WE ARE, WE ARE TESTING AGENCY ARE TESTING ASYMPTOMATIC PEOPLE, WE'RE TESTING PEOPLE. 
          WHO'VE BEEN EXPOSED, WE'RE TESTING PEOPLE WITH SYMPTOMS. SO IF FOLKS NEED A TEST, WE HAVE A TEST FOR, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL ENCOURAGING FOLKS IF, YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAVE PRIVATE INSURANCE AND ACCESS, UH, TO, UH, TO PRIVATE TESTING TO UTILIZE THAT AS THEIR PRIMARY METHOD. 
          BUT IF THEY DON'T, OR THAT'S CHALLENGING FOR THEM, THEY CAN CERTAINLY, UH, COME TO BPH OR COMMUNITY CARE RESOURCES PROTESTING. 
          ANECDOTALLY, I HEAR THE SAME THING WHEN I TALK TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND CONSTITUENTS AND GROUPS, BUT I WOULD LOVE FOR US TO CHECK WITH THE DATA TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOT A PLACE IN THE CITY 
          [01:00:01]
OR CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC IN A CERTAIN AREA THAT WE'RE MISSING BASED ON THE BROAD RESPONSE THAT PEOPLE ARE FEELING MORE COMFORTABLE GETTING TESTING FOR US TO MISS ANY PARTICULAR AREA. 
          AND I, AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE THE DATA TO SAY WHERE, YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE PARTICULAR ZIP CODES OR DEMOGRAPHICS WHERE WE'RE SEEING A HIGH POSITIVITY RATE IS THE NUMBER OF TESTS THAT WE'RE SEEING ADMINISTERED, UM, HA YOU KNOW, EQUALLY HIGH WITH THE INCREASED NUMBER OF CASES, OR ARE WE ACTUALLY, IN SOME PLACES SEEING A DEPRESSED NUMBER OF TESTS AND A HIGHER NUMBER OF CASES, IT WOULD JUST BE REALLY USEFUL FOR US TO CHECK THE BOX AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOT ANY PARTICULAR ZIP CODE OR DEMOGRAPHIC OR COMBINATION OF WHERE, WHERE WE'RE MISSING THAT BECAUSE ON THE WHOLE WE'RE DOING BETTER. 
          THAT'S I WOULD LOVE THAT WE CAN NOT JUST BE ANECDOTAL. 
          WE CAN CERTAINLY SEE IF THE, IF THE TEAM CAN, UH, SOMEWHERE WORKING ON THE PER CAPITA, UH, POSITIVE NUMBERS TO SEE IF THEY CAN ALSO, UH, PULL OUT A NUMBER OF PER CAPITA TESTING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 
          DR. 
          SCOTT. 
          WELL, DR. 
          SCOTT, UM, TWO THINGS, ONE, UM, WHAT GREG WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THE POPULATION BY ZIP CODE ON THAT SLIDE. 
          THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT I HAD ASKED LAST WEEK AS WELL, TO TRY TO GET THE NUMBERS RELATING SO WE CAN SEE WHAT THE, UM, REALITY ON THE GROUND. 
          AND I THINK WE CAN DO THAT, KNOWING THAT, AND THEN THE OTHER THING I JUST WANT TO THANK, UM, DR. 
          SCOTT AND OUR CITY ATTORNEY AND MORGAN, AND THE TEAM OF FOLKS, AND A LOT DEPARTMENT FOR, UH, FINDING A WAY FOR US TO PUBLISH THE NAMES OF THE NURSING HOMES ON OUR DASHBOARD. 
          IT HAS, ESPECIALLY TODAY, WHEN WE COULD SEE HOW, UM, THE NUMBERS HAVE IMPROVED ACROSS THE BOARD ON A NUMBER OF THOSE NURSING HOMES, WHICH IS REALLY GOOD NEWS. 
          AND NOW, UM, FOLKS WHO COME TO OUR SITE, LOOKING FOR THAT COMPREHENSIVE DATA AND STATISTICS THAT WE ABLE TO SEE SOME CLEAR INDICATIONS THAT MAY GIVE THEM SOME CONFIDENCE AND ASSURANCE THAT WE'RE ALL MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WITH REGARD TO YOUR GETTING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOCAL STUDENTS. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR DOING THE EXTRA, TAKING THE EXTRA STEPS TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE COLLEAGUES, ANYTHING ELSE, A COUNCIL MEMBER, RECTOR MARIA, AND THE COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN. 
          AND WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU, COUNSELOR, COUNSELOR MICROPHONE. 
          YOU'RE MUTED. 
          NOW YOU CAN HEAR ME. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          I WANT TO THANK SCOTT AND THE REST OF OUR CITY STAFF, ALL THE WORK THAT Y'ALL AND RE OUTREACH THAT YOU HAVE DONE. 
          MY QUESTION IS, UH, WHAT, WHAT IS YOUR, UH, DO YOU HAVE A PLAN OR RECOMMENDATION ABOUT HOW WE SHOULD HANDLE OUR, OUR LABOR DAY WEEKEND? YOU KNOW, THE 4TH OF JULY, WE'RE CLOSED A LOT OF THE PARKS AND A RESTRICTED, A LOT OF, UH, ACTIVITIES. 
          AND, UH, I JUST WANT TO HEAR FROM, Y'ALL SAYING, FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF RECOMMENDATION OR YOUR YOU'RE ADVISING US AND THE CITY ON WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING FOR THIS WEEKEND, KNOWING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BARS THAT ARE OPENING UP RESTAURANTS. 
          AND, UM, I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT AUGUST GATHERING. 
          THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OVER THIS WEEKEND AND WHOEVER COULD JUST LET US KNOW WHAT, WHAT, UH, WHAT IS IT A RECOMMENDATION COUNCIL MEMBER? I'LL, I'LL SAY THAT I TOO AM CONCERNED ABOUT, ABOUT LABOR DAY. 
          AND, UH, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, MY, MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT, IS THAT FOLKS NOT PARTICIPATE IN GATHERINGS. 
          LIKE THEY NORMALLY WOULD ON LABOR DAY POOL PARTIES AND BARBECUES AND SO FORTH. 
          UH, IF THEY WERE GOING TO DO THAT, THAT SHOULD BE THEIR OWN HOUSEHOLD, UH, IF, IF THEY CHOOSE FOR GIRLS. 
          SO WE HAD ADVICE TO, UH, TO HAVE A GATHERING OR TO GO INTO A GATHERING, UH, THEY NEED TO DO SOME IN A PROTECTIVE WAY. 
          UH, THEY NEED TO MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING. 
          THEY NEED TO WEAR A MASK. 
          UH, IF THEY'RE TAKING THEIR MASK OFF TO EAT OR DRINK, THEY SHOULD DO THAT AWAY FROM OTHER PEOPLE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I, I KNOW THAT THAT, THAT FOLKS MAY THINK THAT THIS IS AN ALARMIST ATTITUDE, NOT THE REST OF THAT THINGS ARE LOOKING BETTER, AND I WANT YOU TO LET US DO OUR NORMAL THING. 
          AND THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, ACROSS THE STATE, ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ACROSS 
          [01:05:01]
THE WORLD, WHEN WE RELAXED TOO QUICKLY, WE PAY FOR IT IN TWO OR THREE WEEKS. 
          UM, AND PARTICULARLY RIGHT NOW, WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO OPEN THE DOORS A LITTLE BIT TO SCHOOLS, NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO TAKE THAT RISK. 
          NOW'S THE TIME TO STAY PROTECTED SO THAT WE CAN GET OUR KIDS IN THE CLASSROOM. 
          AND IF THAT WORKS, GET SOME MORE KIDS IN THE CLASSROOM, THAT SHOULD BE OUR PRIMARY FOCUS RIGHT NOW, HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY GET OUR CHILDREN IN A CLASSROOM AND MAINTAIN THOSE CLASSROOMS IN SCHOOLS, OPEN, EVERYTHING ELSE IS EXTRA RIGHT NOW. 
          WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT EXTRA RIGHT NOW. 
          WE'RE CONTINUING TO CONVERSATION WITH JORDAN REGARDING, UH, THE, UH, FACILITIES. 
          AND, UM, WE'RE CERTAINLY DISCUSSING NOT LABOR DAY AND, UH, YOUR, WHAT SHOULD BE OPEN OR NOT, UH, IN ANTICIPATION OF THE POTENTIAL FOR, FOR GATHERINGS. 
          YEAH. 
          CAUSE I'M REALLY CONCERNED THAT I KNOW THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN WE OPEN UP OUR PARKS, PEOPLE JUST FLOCKS TO PLACES AND THERE IS NO SOCIAL DISTANCE OR ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON. 
          UH, PEOPLE WOULD JUST HAVE ALL KINDS OF SPORTS ACTIVITIES OUT THERE IN THE PARKS. 
          AND I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN HERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHERE THE, UH, AFRICAN AMERICAN SOCCER LEAGUE THAT I WENT BEHIND, UH, MARTIN MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          AND THEY WERE, IT WAS 105 DEGREES OUT THERE AND EVERYBODY'S JUST HANGING AROUND THE TREES WAS NO MASS AND NO SOCIAL DISTANCE. 
          THAT WAS VERY ALARMING TO ME. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE REACHED OUT TO ALSO THE COACHES AND THESE LEADS, AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE WITH FAMILIES, WANT TO HAVE THEIR KIDS OUT THERE AND THESE ACTIVITIES, AND REALLY NEED TO MAKE A POUND THAT MESSAGE DOWN TO THEM TO SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE EXPOSING YOUR, YOUR WHOLE, THEY'RE YOUR KIDS, FAMILIES, AND GRANDPARENTS, AND FATHERS AND MOTHERS, IF YOU ARE CONTINUING TO DO THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT TIME HERE. 
          REALLY, I'M GLAD YOU'RE EMPHASIZING OVER AND OVER THE, THE NEED AND MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE'RE MAKING, IF WE WANT TO BEAT THIS HORRIBLE VIRUS. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          YES, SIR. 
          SORRY. 
          I ALSO WANTED TO ECHO COUNCIL MEMBERS, RULES, COMMENTS, AND SAY, THANK YOU, DR. 
          S CALLED. 
          I THINK THAT, UM, AND, UH, AND OUR LEGAL PLAN AND LOGIN, I THINK IT'S, UM, HELPFUL AND IMPORTANT TO, UM, TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE COMMUNITY RELATED TO THE NAMES OF THE NURSING FACILITIES AND LONGTERM CARE FACILITIES. 
          SO I APPRECIATE YOU ALL PUTTING THIS INFORMATION OUT. 
          I'M ALSO, UM, I'M ALSO ENCOURAGED TO SEE THE IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS POPULATION, UH, IN TERMS OF THE IMPACT. 
          AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AS WELL AS TO DR. 
          HAYDEN FOR THE CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR ALL THE FOLKS THAT ARE LIVING AND WORKING IN THESE FACILITIES. 
          SO, UM, AND I THINK YOU SAID THIS ALREADY, BUT JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM THAT THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE SHARING WITH US, UM, WILL CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE ON THE CITY BOSTON'S COVID-19 WEBPAGE UNDER, UNDER CLUSTERS. 
          SO THIS PARTICULAR INFORMATION WILL GO UP ON THAT PAGE. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? YES, MA'AM THAT'S CORRECT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          LET'S GO TO COUNCIL MEMBER TOE AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBER ALTAR. 
          UM, THANKS VERY MUCH. 
          THANKS FOR COMING BACK. 
          I HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CLUSTERS AND JUST FIND THEM AGAIN HERE. 
          UM, DR. 
          SCOTT, YOU SAID THERE WERE FOUR, AS I UNDERSTOOD THAT SLIME PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL CLUSTERS, AND ABOUT 25 CASES RELATED TO THOSE CLUSTERS, SOME OF THOSE CLUSTERS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH STRANGE AND STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING ACTIVITIES, UM, SPONSORED BY FOOTBALL. 
          CAN YOU GIVE US SOME SENSE OF THOSE CLUSTERS? HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE THOSE FALL INTO THAT CATEGORY COUNSELOR? I'M READING ON A, A WORK ORDER FROM THE TEAM LEAD INDICATION THAT I RECEIVED. 
          IT WAS THAT, UH, AT LEAST ON THE LEVEL OF THOSE ARE RELATED THOSE ACTIVITIES. 
          UH, LET ME CHECK AGAIN. 
          OH, SORRY. 
          11 OF THE 25, CORRECT. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          [01:10:01]
I DIDN'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF. 
          YOU WERE SAYING YOU WERE WAITING. 
          YEAH. 
          SO I'M WAITING ON A REPORT. 
          UH, WHAT'S SOME MORE DETAILS ON THOSE, AGAIN, THE TEAM, UH, YOU KNOW, THOSE, THE INITIAL CASES, INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT TRACING IN COORDINATION WITH THE SCHOOLS, AND THEN WE TRY TO FIND OUT MORE DETAILS. 
          WHAT WAS THE SCHOOL SPECIFICALLY DOING? HOW WERE THESE INDIVIDUALS INTERACTING? WHAT PROTECTIONS WERE THEY USING? WERE THEY WIPING DOWN EQUIPMENT? WERE THEY WEARING MASKS WHEN APPROPRIATE? UH, SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE FURTHER ADVICE FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL. 
          BUT IF WE SEE AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO BETTER PROTECT THEIR PROGRAMS, WHEN WE WANT TO DO THAT, THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          UM, YOU TALKED ABOUT YOU, YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT ASKING THOSE, ASKING OUR AREAS, SCHOOLS TO SEND LETTERS TO PARENTS, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT SOME ACTIVITIES ARE HIGHER RISK THAN OTHERS. 
          IS THAT A REQUIREMENT THAT THEY DO SO, AND, AND IF IT, OR IS IT JUST A REQUEST AND, AND IF IT'S JUST A REQUEST, DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HOW MANY OF THOSE SCHOOLS ARE IN FACT GETTING THOSE LETTERS INTO PARENTS' HANDS? UH, IT IS, IT IS GUIDANCE. 
          UM, SO I DON'T HAVE A COUNT ON HOW MANY ARE DOING THAT. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE HEARD ABOUT WAS THAT THERE WAS A PERCEPTION FROM, FROM STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. 
          IF THE SCHOOL WAS FOLLOWING THE UNL GUIDANCE FOR HOW TO DO THINGS PROPERLY, THAT MEANT THAT THE KIDS WERE SAFE, RIGHT. 
          AND THAT'S NOT AT ALL WHAT IT MEANS. 
          IT MEANS THEY'RE SAFER THAN THEY WOULD BE IF THERE WAS NO GUIDANCE, BUT NOT AS SAFE AS THEY WOULD BE IF, IF THEY STAYED AT HOME. 
          AND AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S UP TO INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES TO WEIGH INTO THAT DECISION ABOUT, DO I WANT MY CHILD TO TAKE THAT RISK? NOT ONLY FOR THEMSELVES, BUT FOR MY HOUSEHOLD. 
          AND IF I DO, I NEED TO, YOU KNOW, TO, TO CONSENT TO THAT OR MORE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT, BUT ALSO BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT OUR ADVICE IS THAT WHEN THAT STUDENT RETURNS HOME, THEY WEAR A MASK IN THE HOUSEHOLD AND THEY SOCIAL DISTANCE IN THE HOUSEHOLD, PARTICULARLY IF THERE WERE OTHERS THAT HAD HIGH RISKS OR COMPLICATIONS OR DEATH IN THAT HOUSEHOLD. 
          DR. 
          SCOTT, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT POINT ABOUT THE UIL. 
          I THINK THE SAME IS TRUE OF SOME OF THE OTHER PROVISIONS, YOU KNOW, WHEN SOME OF THE, WHEN THE, WHEN CERTAIN PROVISIONS CHANGED BECAUSE OF STATE CHANGES, I THINK PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY THOUGHT THOSE ACTIVITIES WERE SUDDENLY A LOT SAFER THAN THEY REALLY WERE BECAUSE THEIR GOVERNMENT WAS TELLING THEM THAT IT WAS OKAY TO GO BACK TO, TO A BAR OR TO OTHER PLACES. 
          SO, THANKS FOR MAKING THAT POINT ABOUT UIL BACK TO THE POINT ABOUT WHETHER THAT COULD BE, OR IS IT ALLOWED TO BE A REQUIREMENT? CAN YOU REQUIRE THAT SCHOOLS THAT INTEND TO HAVE THOSE PROGRAMS SEND A LETTER TO PARENTS WHO ARE PARTICIPATING? UH, THAT'S PROBABLY A BETTER QUESTION FOR, FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT PROBABLY DOES OVERSTEP THE BOUNDARY OF, OF, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN PUBLIC HEALTH AND, AND, YOU KNOW, THE SCRIBBLES AUTONOMY. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, I, I, I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE WITH, WITH THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. 
          I THINK THAT COLLEGES NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S ACTIVITIES, WHICH ARE GOING TO CREATE MORE RISKS THAN SIMPLY JUST GOING TO SCHOOL AND THOSE ACTIVITIES WHERE YOU CAN'T WEAR A MASK WHERE YOU CAN'T SOCIAL DISTANCE, BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING HELMETS TOGETHER. 
          IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE ACTIVITIES. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF THEY'RE RUNNING ON A TREADMILL OR LIFTING WEIGHTS, IF THEY'RE DOING THAT WITHOUT A MASK, BUT, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE A SPOTTER THAT HAS TO STAND OVER THEM, IT'S GOING TO INCREASE RISK. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, IT'S, I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO TAKE MORE RISKS THAN OTHERS, BUT THEY DO NEED TO THE AWARENESS THAT THAT CONSENT OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT NEEDS TO BE INFORMED CAUSE OR ALTER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, ON THAT ISSUE, CAN WE, UM, IS THERE WRITTEN GUIDANCE THAT WE CAN SHARE OUT THAT LIKE IS A GENERAL ENOUGH GUIDANCE THAT, UM, WE CAN ALSO BE COMMUNICATING OUT IN CASE THE SCHOOLS ARE NOT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, 50 PLUS PAGE DOCUMENT? UH IT'S THAT RECOMMENDATION IS AS PART OF THE, UH, THE GUIDANCE TO SCHOOLS THAT WE PUBLISHED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ON, UH, AUGUST THE 14TH. 
          IT WAS AVAILABLE ON OUR COVID-19 WEBSITE, UM, WITH, UM, WITH THE REST OF THE SCHOOL RELATED DOCUMENTS. 
          [01:15:01]
OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN, UM, NOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PUBLISHING THIS LIST THAT HAS THE ACTUAL NURSING HOME NAMES ON IT. 
          UM, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF EXPLANATION IN YOUR SLIDE AS TO WHAT THIS SLIDE IS TELLING US. 
          UM, SO THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT COLORS. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE SOME IS JUST TO DIFFERENTIATE ONE LINE FROM THE OTHER, AND THEN THERE ARE DARKER GRAY ONES, AND THOSE ARE ONES THAT COME OFF THE LIST. 
          SO THIS IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF ALL NURSING HOMES IN THE CITY THAT I'VE EVER HAD. 
          COVID THIS IS SO, SO WHAT IS, WHAT, WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO TO BE LIKE, WHAT PUTS YOU ON THIS LIST AND WHAT TAKES YOU OFF THIS LIST AND WHAT TIME PERIOD DOES THIS COVER? SURE. 
          SO, UH, YOU GET ON THE LIST. 
          IF YOU HAVE A CASE, UH, YOU GET OFF THE LIST IF, IF YOU'VE GONE OVER WEEKS WITHOUT ANY NEW CASES. 
          SO WE WILL, WE WILL BE DISPLAYING ONLY THE CURRENT ACTIVE, UH, CLUSTERS OR ACTIVE, UH, FACILITIES WITH ACTIVE CASES. 
          UH, AND AGAIN, UH, THEY, THEY, ONE OF COLORS IS JUST AN XL FORMATTING THING. 
          THE GRAY MEANS THAT THOSE FACILITIES HAVE GONE THROUGH WEEKS WITHOUT ANY NEW CASES AND WE'LL FALL OFF NEXT WEEK. 
          UH, IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL CASES. 
          SO IF I TOOK ANY ONE OF THESE, THIS WOULD LIST. 
          SO THEIR CASES SINCE WE STARTED TRACKING COVID CORRECT. 
          UM, AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS HOW MANY NEW CASES THERE HAVE BEEN IN THE LAST WEEK? AND IF THAT COLUMN HAS A ZERO, FOUR WEEKS IN A ROW, IT COMES OFF. 
          SO THERE ARE NURSING HOMES THAT ARE NOT ON THIS LIST THAT HAVE BEEN COVID FREE FOR FOUR WEEKS. 
          THERE'S SOME ON THIS LIST THAT ARE GOING TO BE GOING OFF. 
          AND JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE ON THIS LIST, DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE'S LIKE A RAGING OUTBREAK OR ANYTHING. 
          WE JUST ARE TRACKING THE NUMBERS. 
          AND IF THEY HAD MORE THAN IF THEY HAD ANY CASES THEY WERE PUT ON TO BE WATCHED AND SO WE COULD SUPPORT THEM. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, COLLEAGUES. 
          ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE WE LET THESE FOLKS GO OVER TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT, DR. 
          ASCOT DIRECTOR, HAYDEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BRIEFING TODAY AND FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          THANK YOU HERE.

          WHO'S GOING TO BE WALKING THROUGH THIS NEXT PRESENTATION. 
          THIS IS THE VISION PLAN FOR WALTER YOU LONG, AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THINGS WERE HAPPENING OVER THE LAST YEAR, AND THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT HAS GARNERED A LOT OF INTEREST, AND WE'VE BEEN DOING LAST STAFF WORK AND COMMUNITY WORK OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. 
          UH, BUT PARTLY BECAUSE OF KOBE, WE HAD HAD HESITATED TO BRING THIS TO YOU. 
          WE'RE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF CLEANUP WORK NOW, AND WE'RE READY TO BRING THIS PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL FOR YOUR APPROVAL, UH, ON THURSDAY, UH, WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO KIMBERLY MCNEALY, OUR DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION. 
          THANK YOU, CINDY MANAGER. 
          UM, IF I COULD ASK OUR AB TEAM TO, UH, ALSO, UM, MOVE OVER GREG MONTEZ, HE IS OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT PROGRAM MANAGER, AND I'M JOINED BY HIM IN CASE THERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLAN THAT I'M UNABLE TO ANSWER, AND IF THE AVA TEAM COULD ALSO BRING UP THE PRESENTATION, THAT WOULD BE SUPER GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO THIS PRESENTATION IS THAT IS OBVIOUSLY ABOUT THE WATER OR YOU LONG VISION PLAN. 
          UM, I'M HOPING TO COVER A PROCESS OVERVIEW. 
          SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS THAT WE WENT THROUGH THAT, UM, COMPLETED THIS PLAN, UH, THE RESULTING FOUNDATIONAL FRAMEWORK THAT, UH, THAT WE WOULD BE EATING USING AS GUIDANCE IN THE FUTURE. 
          SOME CONCEPTUAL FEATURES AND AMENITIES THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND IN THIS PARTICULAR PLAN. 
          AND THEN ALSO, UH, A PHASE DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATION THAT INCLUDES ESTIMATED COSTS AND A VERY BRIEF CONVERSATION ABOUT, UM, PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. 
          SO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO JUST AS AN OVERVIEW, UM, TO GIVE YOU SOME CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE SIZE OF WALTER ILAN, WE'VE, WE'VE PROVIDED YOU WITH TWO PARKS THAT YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH. 
          AND SO WALTER LONG IS, UH, SEVEN TIMES AS LARGE AS ZILKER PARK. 
          IT IS A METROPOLITAN PARK AND IT SERVES A REGION OR A LARGE AREA. 
          UM, THE ENTIRE CITY IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HOPE THAT EVERYONE WHO WAS IN THE CITY WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS THIS, BUT BECAUSE IT IS IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF OUR CITY, IT IS ALSO UTILIZED BY INDIVIDUALS 
          [01:20:01]
FROM OUTSIDE THE CITY. 
          AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, LIKE THE PARK PLAN DEVELOPS OVERALL VISION FOR THE PLAN IDENTIFIES SOME RECREATIONAL USES THAT WE WOULD USE AS GUIDANCE IN THE FUTURE. 
          IT PRIORITIZES INITIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND IT SERVES AS A DOCUMENT FOR US TO REFERENCE FOR WHEN WE WOULD LIKE TO DEVELOP SOMETHING IN A SECOND OR THIRD PHASE. 
          UM, IT HAS, LIKE I SAID, IT HAS SOME, SOME, SOME FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS AS A PART OF THIS PLAN. 
          AND THEN IT ALSO SUGGESTS SOME FEATURES THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO OUR COMMUNITY BASED UPON THE FEEDBACK THAT THEY PROVIDED. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO AS PART OF THAT, OUR, OUR PROCESS, UM, PLEASE KNOW THAT WE OFFER, WE HAD, UM, MULTIPLE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. 
          AND SO WE HAD A TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUP. 
          WE HAD STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS THAT INCLUDED, UM, ENTITIES THAT WERE SPECIFIC INTEREST TO THIS AREA OF FISHING GROUPS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, INCLUDING THE RODEO. 
          WE HAD PUBLIC EVENTS AND PUBLIC INTERACTION OPPORTUNITIES. 
          WE ACTUALLY WENT TO THE PARK ITSELF AND DID INTERCEPT SURVEYS. 
          PEOPLE COULD COME. 
          THESE ARE PICTURES OF A DECKER LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL WHERE PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN MEETINGS. 
          WE HAD AN ONLINE ENGAGEMENT SURVEYS AND OTHERS ONLINE ENGAGEMENT SURVEYS. 
          WE COLLECTED 3,103 GENERAL SURVEY RESPONSES. 
          AND THEN WE HAD A VERY TARGETED SURVEY ABOUT, UM, SPECIFIC AMENITIES THAT GARNERED 1,886 SURVEY RESPONSES FOR A TOTAL OF 4,989 ONLINE SURVEY RESPONSES TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF, UM, THE, THE PEOPLE WHO RESPONDED ABOUT 10% OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT RESPONDED IN THE SURVEY WERE SPECIFIC TO THE SEVEN EIGHT SEVEN TWO TWO FOUR ZIP CODE, WHICH IS THE CODE IN WHICH, UH, WALTER ELONG RESIDES 25% OF THE PEOPLE WHO RESPONDED WERE WITH THE SURROUNDING ZIP CODES THAT ACTUALLY TOUCHED THE 2.24, I'M SORRY, THE SEVEN EIGHT, SEVEN, EIGHT 17 FOUR ZIP CODE, 40% OF THE PEOPLE WHO RESPONDED BEYOND THE SEVEN EIGHT, SEVEN TWO FOUR, AND THE SURROUNDINGS CODES WHERE CITY OF AUSTIN RESIDENTS. 
          AND THEN THERE WAS ABOUT A THIRD OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ADDED IN ZIP CODES. 
          IT'S OUTSIDE OF AUSTIN WILL UTILIZE THIS PARK BECAUSE OF IT IS IN BOSTON. 
          AND WE'VE ALSO WENT TO, UH, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT AT THE VERY END OF THIS AT THIS PRESENTATION. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          UH, AS PART OF THE PROCESS OVERVIEW, WE ALSO TOOK A LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE PARK, AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO COUNCIL AND TO THE MAYOR THAT, UH, THERE WAS AN INITIAL MASTER PLAN COMPLETED IN 1966. 
          AND THAT INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THAT MASTER PLAN HAS SOME VERY, HAD SOME SIMILARITIES TO THE, UH, THE CURRENT MASS. 
          AND I APOLOGIZE FOR SAYING MASTER PLAN IT'S VISION PLAN. 
          I KNOW WE'RE TRANSITIONING TO THE NEW LANGUAGE AND I WILL, I WILL DO BETTER WITH REGARDS TO THAT. 
          THIS PARTICULAR PLAN WAS CALLED MASTER PLAN, OUR NEW LANGUAGES DIVISION PLAN. 
          UM, BUT IT HAS SOME, UH, THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE YOU'LL SEE IN THE NEW FEATURES, UH, YOU'LL SEE THINGS LIKE WATER, ACCESS, CODING, FISHING. 
          UM, THIS HAS THIS PARTICULAR PLAN IN 1966, ALSO SHOWED, UM, DIFFERENT USES AND ZONES, WHICH YOU'LL ALSO SEE IN THE FUTURE PLAN. 
          UM, IT HIGHLIGHTED CAMPING AND PICNICKING, AND IT ALSO REALLY HIGHLIGHTED THINGS THAT HAD TO DO WITH ECOTOURISM. 
          I'M NOT SURE IF WE USE THAT PHRASE IN 1966, BUT IT CERTAINLY, UM, THE CRON, THE CONCEPTS OF THIS PARTICULAR PLAN ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT, WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE NEW, IN THE NEW PLAN. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          OH, SO OUR PROCESS OVERVIEW AT COUNCIL'S DIRECTION, WE DID WORK WITH OUR FRIENDS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO DETERMINE IF THERE WERE, UH, OPPORTUNITIES OR DEMAND FOR ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIC STARTERS OR ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE PARK ITSELF. 
          SO COULD WE BE LOOKING AT THIS PARK AS A WAY TO, UM, TO AS PATHWAYS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH, AS PATHWAYS FOR JOB CREATION, AS PATHWAYS FOR, UM, UH, RESOLVING HOUSING ISSUES AND THIS PARTICULAR, THIS IS A SLIDE THAT CAME FROM A REPORT THAT WAS DONE BY THE ECONOMIC AND PLANNING SYSTEMS. AND IT WAS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF, UM, R E D D OF, OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 
          THEY HELPED US WITH THIS. 
          AND BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS TELLING US IS THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE 152% INCREASE IN HOUSEHOLDS, UH, FROM THE TIME WHEN THIS PLAN WAS DONE INTO, UH, INTO THE FUTURE. 
          AND THAT, THAT WILL ALSO RESULT IN INCREASED RETAIL SQUARE FOOTAGE. 
          IT WILL ALSO RESULT IN OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL SPACE AND HOTEL SPACE OUTSIDE 
          [01:25:01]
OF THE ACTUAL BOUNDARIES OF THE PARK. 
          AND SO BASICALLY WHAT, WHAT THEY, THEY RECOMMENDATION FROM EPS WISE IS THAT THE PARK SHOULD FOCUS ON, UM, JOB GROWTH AND, UM, OPTIONS FOR SERVICES AND GOODS THAT ARE RECREATIONAL IN NATURE, BECAUSE IT APPEARS AS THOUGH, OR AT LEAST THE PREDICTION IS THAT THINGS THAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF A PARK WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENTS. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THIS RIGHT HERE TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THOSE, UM, THOSE FOUNDATIONAL FRAMEWORKS THAT I WAS, THAT I MENTIONED IN THE VERY BEGINNING. 
          AND SO BASICALLY THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE TOOK A LOOK AT THE TOPOGRAPHY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES OF THIS PARK, AND IT SHOWED US THAT THERE ARE PARTICULAR PLACES WHERE IT IS VERY APPROPRIATE FOR US TO DEVELOP AND BE ABLE TO HAVE, UM, BUILDINGS AND SURFACE STRUCTURE AND PARKING LOTS, AND, UH, DIFFERENT KINDS OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ARE RE REALLY MORE ABOUT ACTIVE KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE PARK. 
          AND THEN THERE ALSO IS AREAS THAT ARE, SHOULD HAVE VERY LIMITED, UM, CONSTRUCTION IN VERY LIMITED AREAS BECAUSE THEY'RE CONSIDERED MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AND THEY, UH, ARE OUR PRESERVES OR THEIR WETLANDS, OR THEY'RE PART OF A ALREADY ESTABLISHED WILDLIFE SANCTUARY. 
          SO WHEN YOU SEE THE VISION PLAN IN THE FUTURE, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IT WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THIS PARTICULAR ANALYSIS OF WHERE THINGS CAN BE, CAN BE BUILT BUILT. 
          AND SO THIS IS A FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPT THAT I THINK WILL CARRY THROUGH REGARDLESS OF THE FEATURES OR THE, UM, SPECIFIC AMENITIES THAT ARE CHOSEN IN THE FUTURE. 
          UH, WE WOULD BE FOLLOWING THIS AS A FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPT NEXT SIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO TO GO ALONG WITH THOSE, WITH THE IDEA OF HAVING CERTAIN AREAS THAT ARE DEVELOPABLE DEVELOP A BOOK THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY DEVELOP IN THAT YOU CAN BUILD STRUCTURES IN, THERE ARE, WE'VE ALSO TRIED TO DETERMINE WHAT WOULD THOSE STRUCTURES LOOK LIKE? AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE AS A FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPT THAT WE HAVE CONSISTENT USES FOR THE AREAS THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED. 
          SO IN THE AREAS THAT ARE HIGHLY DEVELOPED, WE WOULD HAVE ACTIVE SPORTS AND ORGANIZED SORTS OF THINGS. 
          I SAID THAT IN THE EARLIER, BUT THIS IS A EARLIER SLIDE. 
          THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT IT, THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THINGS THAT ARE HIGHLY DEVELOPED, THAT WOULD BE ACTIVE. 
          AND WE WOULD HAVE ARTS AND CULTURE IN CERTAIN AREAS WHERE YOU COULD DEVELOP SPACES THAT WOULD ALLOW THAT, AND THEN YOU'D HAVE PASSIVE AND NATURAL SPACES. 
          SO AGAIN, ANOTHER FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPT THAT WE WOULD FALL BACK ON WHEN WE'RE IN THE FUTURE CHOOSING SPECIFIC AMENDMENTS, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          AND SO THIS WAS A PREFERRED FRAMEWORK PLAN. 
          SO WHEN WE WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND WE DID ALL OF THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, WE PRESENTED TO THE COMMUNITY, MULTIPLE OPTIONS OF WHAT A VISION PLAN COULD LOOK LIKE FOR WALTER ILAN. 
          AND WHAT THIS PLAN WAS, WAS THE PLAN THAT THE MAJORITY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SAID THAT THEY THOUGHT WOULD BE THE MOST ACCEPTABLE, THE MOST INTERESTING, THE THING THAT WOULD SERVE THE MOST INDIVIDUALS. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES, AND IT HAS A VARIETY OF, UM, ACTIVE SPACES AS WELL AS PASSIVE SPACES. 
          UM, IT WAS ONE OF THREE PLANS THAT WAS PRESENTED, AND IT WASN'T THE PREFERRED PLANNING. 
          WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE, UH, AT THE DOCUMENT THAT'S ONLINE, OR WE CAN SEND IT TO YOU, THE, UH, PDF YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE, UM, EXACTLY ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT ID, ALL THOSE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES, BUT IT DOES RANGE FROM THINGS LIKE, UM, CAMPING TO TRAIL, WALKING TO BOAT LAUNCHES, TO, UH, AMPHITHEATERS AND CULTURAL ART SPACES WHERE PERFORMANCE ART CAN, CAN OCCUR. 
          UM, IT'S CONSISTENT WITH, UM, THIS LAYOUT HERE OF WHERE THINGS ARE ACTIVE AND PASSIVE IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT FOUNDATION. 
          AND THAT'S ALSO, AGAIN, INTERESTINGLY, IT'S VERY CONSISTENT OR HAS MANY SIMILARITIES TO THE 1966 PLAN. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO HERE'S, WELL, WE GET INTO THE IDEA OF THAT AS HAVING SOME MORE, UH, CONCEPTUAL IDEAS OF WHAT COULD GO INTO EACH AREA OF THE PARK. 
          AND SO WHILE WE HAD A FOUNDATION WHERE WE JUST NAMED THINGS ACTIVE AND PASSIVE, AND WE DECIDED WHETHER IT WAS DEVELOPABLE OR NOT DEVELOPABLE, HERE'S WHERE WE SAY THESE ARE KIND OF THE APPROPRIATE THINGS THAT COULD GO INTO THIS SPACE BASED UPON THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          SO WHEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS SAID, WE'D LIKE TO SEE TRAILS, WE WERE ABLE TO PLOP THAT ON THIS MAP AS A POSSIBLE FEATURE AS TO WHERE TRAILS WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATE. 
          [01:30:02]
WHEN A COMMUNITY MEMBERS TOLD US THAT WE'D LOVE TO SEE PERFORMING ARTS OR AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING MUSIC OR BRING THEATER TO THIS SPACE, WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE MOST APPROPRIATE SPACE THAT THAT KIND OF AMENITY COULD, COULD OCCUR, UM, SPORTS COURTS, WHERE SHOULD THERE BE BOAT LAUNCHES AND WHERE, AND SHOULD THERE BE MORE BOAT LAUNCHES? THAT'S WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO YOU WILL SEE FROM THIS PARTICULAR PLAN, WHAT YOU WOULD WANT TO LOOK AT THE PLAN AND YOU'D WANT TO, UM, OBVIOUSLY ENLARGE THIS, BUT YOU'D BE ABLE TO SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT FEATURES THAT FOLKS SAID WERE INTERESTING TO THEM, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE, THAT WOULD BE DESIRABLE FOR THIS PARK AND WHERE THEY ARE, UM, PLOTTED ON THIS PARTICULAR VISION PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. 
          I WANT TO JUST BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER, WHERE IT SAYS EXPO CENTER. 
          AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IN THAT SPACE, THAT IS NOT VERY GREEN. 
          THERE'S JUST A COUPLE OF BUILDINGS. 
          WHEN THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT IN UPON THIS VISION PLAN, WE DID REFERENCE THE HUNDRED REPORT, WHICH WAS THE EXISTING REPORT AT THE TIME AS TO HOW THAT PARTICULAR EXPO CENTER SPACE WOULD BE USED. 
          AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT AS, AS APPROPRIATE WITH DEVELOPABILITY, UM, THIS PARTICULAR AREA ADJACENT TO THE EXPO CENTER IS ABSOLUTELY FILLED WITH ACTIVE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. 
          THIS IS WHERE THE AMPHITHEATER IS LOCATED. 
          THIS IS WHERE THE SPORTS COURTS ARE LOCATED. 
          THIS IS WHERE THE ACTIVE SPACE IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE MAJORITY OF, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE WOULD, UH, WOULD BE, UH, DEVELOPED IN THIS PARTICULAR PLAN. 
          AND WHILE THERE ARE SYNERGIES WITH THE EXPO CENTER AND, AND THEIR SHARED PARKING OPPORTUNITIES, AND PERHAPS EVEN SHARED AMENITY OPPORTUNITIES, I'D ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT THIS COULD ALSO BE, UH, A PLAN THAT STANDS ON ITS OWN, WHETHER THE EXPO CENTER IS LOOKED AT FOR, UM, ALTERNATIVE, OR IF IT'S EVEN, WE RECONFIGURE IT IN SOME WAY, THIS PARTICULAR PLAN, THE WALTER E. LONG VISION PLAN WILL STAND ALONE AS ITS OWN PLAN. 
          IT IS NOT CONTINGENT UPON THE FUTURE OF THE EXPO CENTRAL OR THE FUTURE USES OF THE EXPO CENTER. 
          AND THIS PLAN WILL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING FROM SPORTS AREAS, PLAYGROUNDS BOATHOUSES, MARINAS, BOAT LAUNCHES, UM, CABINS AND CAMPING SPACES, OR IT IS EMPHASIS ON, UM, SORT OF THAT PERFORMING ARTS AND THAT CULTURAL ARTS SPACE. 
          AND THEN ALSO SOME OF THAT ECOTOURISM OPPORTUNITY. 
          AND THIS IS JUST A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF THE ENTIRE OF THE ENTIRE POOL. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ONE THING THAT WE WANTED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WAS THE CIRCULATION OF THE PLAN THEN, AND ALSO THE ACCESSIBILITY OF THIS PART FROM THE SURROUNDING AREA. 
          SO AS YOU'LL RECALL, IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION, I TALKED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS, UM, OOPS, IF WE COULD GO BACK ONE, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. 
          AND SO THE, UM, THE SLIDE THAT SAYS CIRCULATION AROUND THE PARK SHOWS YOU HOW THE, UM, UP AND COMING DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THAT SPACE WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE PARK EITHER THROUGH A VEHICULAR ACCESS OR THROUGH BIKE OR PEDESTRIAN ACCESS. 
          AND IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS BASED UPON THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REPORT THAT WE RECEIVED, WHAT THE POPULATION ESTIMATES ARE EXPECTED TO BE AS, AS THAT PARTICULAR, THOSE PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENTS GROW. 
          AND SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I SHOWED YOU THAT THERE WERE, UM, THAT IT WAS ACCESSIBLE, NOT JUST BY CAR, BUT IT'S ACCESSIBLE VIA BIKE AND THROUGH, UM, HIKING OPPORTUNITIES. 
          IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE IS AN EQUESTRIAN TRAIL THERE, OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD HAVE SOME REAL SYNERGIES WITH, UM, THINGS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN AT THE EXPO CENTER. 
          BUT IN A QUESTION IN TRAIL IS A, IS A CONTEMPLATED FEATURE. 
          IT'S NOT A DONE DEAL, RIGHT? WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE MORE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT TRAILS SHOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE PARK, BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A LARGE PART. 
          WE WOULD WANT TO CONSIDER, UM, AREA DEVELOPMENT OR DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SPACE IN MULTIPLE AREAS. 
          AND EACH OF THESE MULTIPLE AREAS HAVE ITS OWN SORT OF THING THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS BASED UPON THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND THE THINGS THAT THE COMMUNITY TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THIS PARK. 
          AND SO WE TRIED TO PUT THOSE KINDS OF AMENITIES AND ACTIVITIES IN THE AREAS THAT WERE THE APPROPRIATE FOR 
          [01:35:01]
THAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT WE HAVE THE EXPO CENTER AREA, WHERE I TALKED ABOUT HOW THAT'S KIND OF THE ACTIVE AREA AREA. 
          NUMBER TWO IS THE LAKESIDE PARK. 
          SO THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF THOSE, UM, FEATURES THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE USER EXPERIENCE. 
          IT'S RIGHT ALONG THE WATER THERE'S TRAILS IN THERE. 
          UM, POST OAK, SAVANNAH IS AREA NUMBER THREE, YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE OF A PASSIVE AREA. 
          SO I WON'T READ ALL OF THESE TO YOU BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU CAN READ YOURSELF, BUT BASICALLY THIS JUST GIVES YOU A DESCRIPTION AGAIN, CONSISTENT WITH THOSE FOUNDATIONAL ITEMS THAT I SHOWED YOU EARLIER. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THE NEXT TIME IT'S GOING TO SHOW YOU AN IDEA OF, UH, OF SOME CONCEPTUAL FEATURES, UH, THAT IS PART OF HOW WE WOULD IMPROVE THE EXISTING PARTS. 
          SO WHEN YOU GO TO WALTER ILAN, UH, RIGHT NOW YOU DRIVE INTO WALTER ELONG AND THIS IS THE SPACE THAT IS MOST, THIS IS THE SPACE THAT IS UTILIZED BY THE PUBLIC. 
          AND SO THIS IS A, UM, A, UH, ENHANCED LOOK AT WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE INSTEAD OF WHAT IT CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE. 
          SO WE HAVE THAT, WE HAVE A CURRENT STATE OF THE PARK, BUT THIS IS OUR VISION FOR WHAT WE WOULD LOVE THIS PARK TO LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS A LOT OF, UM, A LOT OF FEATURES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE WATER. 
          IT HAS A FISHING, PETER, IT HAS A MARINA OR A BOAT SPACE IN A BOAT DOCK. 
          IT HAS A BEACH ACCESS, AND THIS IS HOW MUCH OF THAT SPACE IS UTILIZED RIGHT NOW. 
          AND SO IT WOULD NEED THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT'S RECOMMENDATION TO CONSIDER, UM, IMPROVING THIS SPACE FIRST TO ENHANCE THE FEATURES THAT ARE ALREADY READILY USED, UM, PROVIDED SOME MORE PARKING, UM, PROVIDED SOME MORE AMENITIES IN THIS SPACE SO THAT INDIVIDUALS COULD ENJOY THIS AS A FAMILY. 
          YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THIS, THERE ARE SOME SPORTS COURTS. 
          THOSE HAPPEN TO LOOK LIKE SOCCER COURTS THERE AGAIN, THAT IS JUST A PICTURE OF AN AMENITY THAT COULD BE THERE. 
          THOSE COULD BE VOLLEYBALL COURTS. 
          THOSE COULD BE BASKETBALL COURTS. 
          THOSE COULD BE FOOTSORE COURTS. 
          THAT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE. 
          THEY COULD BE TENNIS, OR THEY COULD BE ANY COMBINATION OF THOSE THINGS. 
          BUT THE IDEA IS, IS THAT THAT WOULD BE FAMILY ORIENTED. 
          AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT, UM, FAMILIES TO COME IN AND ENJOY PAVILION AND PICNIC SPACE. 
          SO THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT WOULD RECOMMEND THAT IF WE WERE GOING TO BEGIN TO INVEST IN THIS PARK, WE WOULD WANT TO BEGIN BY INVESTING IN THIS SPACE. 
          IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, ANOTHER AREA OF CONSIDERATION THAT THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT POLICE WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT IN THE EARLY PHASES OF THIS PARK DEVELOPMENT IS THIS ACTIVE AREA. 
          AND THE REASON WHY WE THINK THEY ACTIVE AREA HAS GREAT POTENTIAL AS IT HAS POTENTIAL FOR PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, UM, IT'S THE CULTURAL ARTS SORT OF AREA. 
          IT COULD BE USED AS A, UM, AS A, UM, A MUSIC VENUE. 
          IT COULD BE USED AS A PERFORMING ARTS VENUE. 
          IT COULD BE USED FOR EVENTS. 
          IT CAN BE USED FOR, UM, FOOD TRAILERS. 
          AGAIN, IT HAS SOME SYNERGIES IF THE EXPO CENTER, UH, IS TO BE DEVELOPED AND, AND AS IT IS, OR COULD ALSO, UM, MORPH A LITTLE BIT TO BE ABLE TO, UH, TO ACCOMMODATE WHATEVER IT IS THAT THE EXPO CENTER SPACE WOULD, WOULD EVENTUALLY BE. 
          UM, WE BELIEVE THAT WITH THERE BEING MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS, THAT THERE'S MULTIPLE PARTNERS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT MAY BE INTERESTED IN, UM, IN PARTNERING WITH US. 
          AND SO THIS WOULD BE AN AREA THAT WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO FOCUS ON AS, AS PART OF OUR, UM, INITIAL PHASES OF THE PARKS NEXT. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THESE ARE THE PROJECTED COSTS RELATED TO, UM, TO THE PARK. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ZONE B AND ZONE A, THOSE WERE THE TWO AREAS THAT I SUGGESTED THAT THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT WOULD LOOK AT TO FIRST BEGIN THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND THE PRICE TAGS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT ARE, ARE, UM, ARE, ARE WRITTEN THERE. 
          AND SO THIS IS WHY WE BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO THINK ABOUT REVENUE STREAMS THAT COULD HELP SUPPORT THE PARK, TALK ABOUT PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS THAT COULD HELP SUPPORT THE PARK, EVEN PERHAPS A CONSERVANCY LIKE WE HAVE IN OTHER AREAS OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. 
          SO THERE'S LOTS OF OPTIONS FOR US TO, UM, TO DEVELOP THIS PARK WITH THE COMMUNITY AND IN COOPERATION WITH THE COMMUNITY. 
          UH, BUT I WANT IT TO BE FORTHCOMING WITH THE COSTS AND THAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT, UM, THAT WOW, WE HAVE, UH, THIS PARK IS, I JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THIS PARK IS SEVEN TIMES THE SIZE OF ZILKER PARK, AND IT TOOK US, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF DECADES TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP ZILKER PARK. 
          SO, UM, I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT INTO CONTEXT BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES THE PRICE TAG FEELS A LITTLE BIT, UM, A LITTLE BIT OPPRESSIVE, BUT, UH, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, 
          [01:40:01]
WE CAN WORK THROUGH AND WE CAN FIND CREATIVE WAYS IN WHICH TO FUND. 
          IF WE COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE, THESE WERE JUST OVERVIEWS OF THE POTENTIAL PHASE ONE COST. 
          SO THIS, YOU CAN SEE PHASE ONE, THAT'S THE AREA THAT I TALKED ABOUT, WHERE WE HAVE THE EXISTING USES. 
          AND SO THESE WERE JUST SOME COST ESTIMATES THAT WOULD GO ALONG WITH THE GATES AND THE RESTROOMS AND THE PICNIC AREAS IN CERTAIN KINDS OF INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          AND IT ALSO SHOWS YOU THE AREAS THAT WE MAY HAVE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES LIKE WITH A ROWING, UH, WITH A ROWING CLUB OR WITH A BOAT, UH, CONCESSION OR PERHAPS, UM, OTHER, UH, WATER ACTIVITY CONCESSIONS. 
          AND SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF, OF THAT SORT OF COST RANGE. 
          AND THEN THE LAST SLIDE PLEASE IS OUR NEXT STEPS. 
          SO OUR NEXT STEPS PLEASE KNOW THAT WE DID GO TO THE PARKS BOARD, JUNE 25TH, 2019. 
          AND I BELIEVE THAT GREG AND LIANA WERE THE PRESENTERS FOR THAT PARTICULAR PRESENTATION AND ALSO TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION IN, UM, JULY 17TH, 2019, THAT WERE COMING TODAY BEFORE YOU WITH THIS PRESENTATION. 
          AND CERTAINLY WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS, UH, CONSIDERED ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, BUT UNDERSTAND THERE MAY BE SOME DISCUSSIONS THAT NEED TO BE HAD AND, AND, UM, WE'LL BE TAKING YOUR DIRECTION. 
          AND THEN THE NEXT PHASE IS AFTER APPROVAL WOULD BE, UM, DESIGNING CONSTRUCTION ON A LIMITED SCALE. 
          SO WE HAVE ALREADY PUT ASIDE APPROXIMATELY 3.5 MILLION, AND WE ARE ENGAGING WITH PARTNERS, UH, VERY, VERY INITIALLY ENGAGING PARTNERS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE AN APPROVED PLAN ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO START THAT INITIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE SPACE THAT'S ALREADY USED. 
          UM, AND THEN WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE COMING BACK TO COUNCIL FOR ANY TYPES OF DESIGNS AND, AND FINAL, UM, COST, UH, APPROVALS FOR ANY SORTS OF CONSTRUCTION THAT WOULD HAPPEN. 
          AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          COLLEAGUES ARE QUESTIONS, UH, CANCER FOR HARPER MEDICINE, COUNCIL MEMBER FLANAGAN. 
          I THINK I'M STARTING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A TECH ISSUE CAUSE ALL THE VIDEOS ARE GOING WEIRD. 
          SO I'M GOING TO HAVE A WIFI SITUATION WITH THE CORD REAL QUICK. 
          SO I'LL DEFER TO COUNCIL MEMBER SAYING AGAIN, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK. 
          HEY, BY THE WAY, WE CAN SEE YOU REALLY WELL. 
          YOU GUYS WERE FLYING WELL. 
          I MEAN, I HATE TO, TO GO IN FRONT OF COMMS, PROPER MADISON SINCE THIS IS IN DISTRICT ONE, BUT, UM, I HAVE MANY, MANY QUESTIONS, MAYBE NOT ALL OF THEM WE'LL DIG INTO TODAY. 
          UM, THIS IS A BIG PLAN, A BIG PLAN, UM, ON SOME OF THE SLIDES THERE WAS TALKED ABOUT REGIONAL IMPACT AND, AND MS. MCNEIL, YOU MENTIONED REGIONAL PARTNERS, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'VE CLOSED THE LOOP ON THAT CONVERSATION. 
          YEAH, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. 
          I DID NOT. 
          SO, UH, WE WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH EVERYBODY FROM, UH, WELL, THE RANGE FROM FOLKS FROM, UH, TEXAS ROWING TO UT RAILING. 
          WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN, UM, FISHING AND BOATING SORTS OF CONCESSIONS. 
          WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN EVENTS AND IN, UM, OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERFORMING ARTS FACILITIES. 
          UM, WE HAD, UH, JUST GENERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT, UH, OPPORTUNITIES FOR VERY COMMUNITY SORTS OF, UM, UH, ACTIVITIES THAT MIGHT BE REVENUE GENERATIONS LIKE FOOD TRUCKS OR, UM, OR, UH, GREEN. 
          I CAN'T THINK OF THAT. 
          WHERE DO YOU START WHEN YOU SELL VEGETABLES AND FRUITS FOR TWO PEOPLE, BUT I CAN'T THINK OF THE NAME OF MY POCKET. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          FARMERS' MARKETS AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. 
          SO WHEN I TALK ABOUT REGIONALLY, WE'VE TRIED TO TAKE A LOOK AT DIFFERENT PARTNERS THAT COULD BRING DIFFERENT DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO THE PARK. 
          SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE LARGE AS WELL AS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE VERY COMMUNITY BASED. 
          I WAS HOPING YOU WERE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TRAVIS COUNTY. 
          WELL, THANK YOU FOR, THANK YOU FOR THE PROMPT. 
          THERE HAS BEEN SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH TREK COUNTY AND SPECIFICALLY THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE EXPO CENTER AND THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN UNIQUE TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT, BUT THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE INCLUDED OUR FRIENDS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND THEY'VE GOT ABSOLUTELY INCLUDED AT THE TIME IT WAS JUDGE ECKHART AND THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN STALLED 
          [01:45:01]
WITH REGARDS TO, I SUPPOSE, HERE, WE'VE ALSO TALKED WITH THE RODEO FOLKS AND, AND UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEIR, UM, WHAT THEY WOULD PREFER TO HAPPEN WITH THAT PARTICULAR SPACE AND WHO THEY WOULD PREFER TO BE PARTNERS WITH. 
          UM, BUT IT IS, IT IS INCUMBENT UPON US AS A, AS A CITY DEPARTMENT TO, UM, GET BACK ON COURSE, IF YOU WILL, TO BE ABLE TO BEGIN THOSE CONVERSATIONS AGAIN, WE STARTED DOWN THAT PATH AND THEN SO GOOD HIT AND WE HAVE NOT, UM, WE HAVE NOT COME TO CONCLUSIONS AS TO, UH, WHAT A REALLY SOLID PARTNERSHIP THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO BOTH ENTITIES. 
          WE HAVE NOT DETERMINED WHAT THAT WOULD FINALLY LOOK LIKE. 
          UH, I I'M, I'M NOT EVEN REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE EXPO CENTER. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF CONVERSATION WE DON'T NEED TO GO INTO TODAY. 
          ON, ON THAT, ON ONE SLIDE, YOU, THERE WAS A, AN EDD ASSESSMENT ABOUT THE FUTURE GROWTH IN A FIVE MILE RADIUS. 
          DID, DID EDD PROVIDE FOR YOU HOW MUCH OF THAT WAS GOING TO BE IN OUR TAXABLE JURISDICTION VERSUS OUTSIDE OUR TAXABLE JURISDICTION? I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY DID COUNCIL MEMBER, BUT I COULD GO BACK IN THE REPORT AND FIND OUT FOR YOU. 
          I JUST DON'T. 
          I DON'T RECALL. 
          SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY THEY DID OR DID NOT, BUT I ABSOLUTELY COULD GET YOU THAT INFORMATION. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THIS, RIGHT. 
          AND ON THE BACKSIDE OF, WELL, THREE LONG YOU HAVE, I THINK WILD HORSE IS LIKE REALLY ADJACENT TO, WHICH IS A TRAVIS COUNTY PID, WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANY OF THE COSTS OF THIS PARK, BUT, BUT WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE ONE OF THE PRIMARY USERS OF THIS PARK, WHICH, YOU KNOW, I, I HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH HOW, HOW THAT WORKS. 
          UM, AND IF I COULD ADD TO THAT, UM, I THINK TAKING YOUR MEAD, WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, UM, TERMS, YOU KNOW, TAX INCREMENTAL REDEVELOPMENT ZONES, BUT THAT'S ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO BE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONSIDER, RIGHT? BECAUSE TO YOUR POINT, A LOT OF THE TAXABLE AREA IS NOT NECESSARILY, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CITY OF AUSTIN, BUT IT'S ALSO COUNTY. 
          SO THOSE, AGAIN, I'M THE VERY SURFACE THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN HAD THAT WE'VE NEVER COME TO A FINAL CONCLUSION OF HOW WE COULD BEST PARTNER. 
          AND I WORRY ABOUT THE OPERATIONS AND ONGOING MAINTENANCE AS MUCH AS I DO ABOUT THE INITIAL CAPITAL. 
          SO, I MEAN, THERE'S TWO, TWO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS. 
          WHEN YOU HAVE THE SLIDE ABOUT THE INPUT PROCESS, YOU KNOW, IT'S, I, IT TRIGGERS ME WHEN I SEE A GRAPHIC THAT SAYS, PUT A STICKER ON THE MAP WHERE YOU LIVE AND MY DISTRICT ISN'T EVEN ON THE MAP. 
          SO I'M CURIOUS IF YOU HAVE A BREAKDOWN, UH, IN ANY SENSE IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, NORTH, SOUTH, WEST, EAST, BUT, OR BY DISTRICT OR WHATEVER ABOUT HOW MUCH INPUT WAS PROVIDED IN THIS PLAN. 
          AND I'M GOING TO ASK, I HOPE THAT WE MOVED OVER AND GREG, I THINK I'M GOING TO ASK THAT THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, CAUSE HE PROBABLY HAS EITHER HE KNOWS THE ANSWER OR HE CAN GET YOU THE ANSWER. 
          THANKS, KIM. 
          UH,  UH, PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT, UH, I MEAN, DIVISION, REMEMBER TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. 
          UH, WE HAD SURVEY AND, UH, DATA FROM EVERYBODY THAT PARTICIPATED AS THE DIRECTOR MENTIONED, THERE WAS NEARLY 5,000 FOLKS THAT PARTICIPATED. 
          UM, WE DID NOT COLLECT OTHER THAN THE ZIP CODE THAT THE PARTICIPANT, UH, LIVED IN. 
          UM, WE ONLY HAD THE BREAKDOWN OF THE ZIP CODE, UH, WHERE THEY LIVED. 
          SO, UM, WE'D HAVE TO LOOK BACK INTO THAT. 
          UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT, UM, WE HAVE ANYTHING THAT DOCUMENTS EXACTLY THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE IN A PARTICULAR DISTRICT, BUT I COULD LOOK WITH THE ZIP CODES IF WE CAN BUY IT. 
          RIGHT. 
          I MEAN, JUST TO PROVIDE ZIP CODES WOULD BE, WOULD BE FINE. 
          CAUSE I CAN SCAN ALL THIS. 
          DOES ZIP CODES AND KIND OF GET A SENSE OF WHAT PARTS OF TOWN ARE WEIGHING IN. 
          AND YEAH, IF THIS WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK OR ONE WHERE WE EXPECTED A SMALL AREA OF SERVICE, AND I WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED THAT QUESTION, BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A GIGANTIC AMENITY THAT WOULD SERVE THE WHOLE REGION AND TO DO WHAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          I BELIEVE WE HAVE A MAP EXHIBIT THAT MIGHT SHOW WHERE PEOPLE WERE, UM, YOU KNOW, RESIDING WHEN WE WERE PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROCESS AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT DATA THAT WE COULD SEND YOU. 
          THAT'S GREAT IN THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. 
          HOW, HOW IS THE PUBLIC INFORMED ABOUT COST AND TIMELINE WHEN THEY'RE DOING THEIR VISIONING WORK? WELL, WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO LAY OUT THE PROCESS FOR THAT. 
          UM, WE HAVE TO OBVIOUSLY, UH, INFORM THE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS THAT THIS IS THE FRONT END OF, OF A DEVELOPMENT OF A PARK. 
          SO THEY'RE IN THE VISIONING EXERCISE, BUT THE NEXT STEP IS OBVIOUSLY THEN TO GO THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE 
          [01:50:01]
AT NOW, ONCE THAT IS DONE, WE THEN HAVE TO, TO INFORM THEM AS WELL THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A DESIGN ELEMENT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK. 
          THE INFORMATION THAT I SHARED WITH YOU WAS SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY, UM, AS WELL. 
          UM, SO THEY'RE AWARE OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AND THOSE COSTS ARE OBVIOUSLY ESTIMATES, UM, RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, SO, UH, THAT INFORMATION SHARED WITH THEM UPFRONT, UM, THAT INFORMATION AGAIN, WILL BE SHARED WITH THEM IS THE DIRECT DIMENSION. 
          WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE DESIGN PHASE, WHICH INCLUDES ANOTHER PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE STAKEHOLDERS. 
          SO THERE'S MORE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT TO COME, BUT OBVIOUSLY IS OUR DESIGN PHASE BECAUSE THIS VISION PLAN IS REALLY TRYING TO DESIGNATE USES IN AN AREA OR THE PARK. 
          UM, AS THE DIRECTOR MENTIONED, UM, WHEN YOU SHOWED THE CURRENT LOCATION OF OUR PARK AND IT SHOWED SOCCER FIELDS, THAT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, SHOW THAT THROUGH THAT ILLUSTRATION IS THAT THIS IS A FAMILY ACTIVE AREA. 
          UM, ONCE WE GET INTO THE DESIGN PHASE, FOLKS MAY WANT TO ADD BASKETBALL COURTS OR TENNIS COURTS, VOLLEYBALL COURTS, OR MULTIPURPOSE FIELDS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR SOCCER ONLY. 
          SO THE IDEA IS THAT DURING THE DESIGN PHASE, WE GET A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AS TO WHAT IS NEEDED BY THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND WE OBVIOUSLY, UH, OUTREACH TO THE SAME FOLKS AND WE TRY TO EXPAND THAT BECAUSE WE KNOW DEMOGRAPHICS AND CHANGING AREAS. 
          KIM DEAN, DO YOU KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, IF THE ENTIRETY OF WALTER LONG IS DEDICATED PARKLAND, WHEN DO YOU YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE SPACE THAT'S CARVED OUT THAT I BELIEVE THAT AUSTIN ENERGY OWNS. 
          YEAH. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND OTHER THAN THAT, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE ENTIRETY OF WALTER ALLEN, INCLUDING THE SPACE THAT THE EXPO CENTER IS ON IS, IS DEDICATED. 
          AND DID YOU SAY THAT THE PARKS HAS ALREADY SET ASIDE THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS? I THINK I MISSED WHAT THAT FOR. 
          YEAH. 
          WE SET ASIDE THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS BEFORE THIS PLAN HAD BEEN APPROVED TO BE ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY DO SOMETHING. 
          ONCE THE PLAN IS APPROVED, SOME SORT OF INFRASTRUCTURE, BETTER ROADS, UM, YOU KNOW, IMPROVE THE SPACE. 
          WE WERE TRYING TO LAUNCH THEIR BOATS, UH, PICKS UP SOME PICNIC PAVILIONS, UH, DO ADA ACCESSIBILITY AND THE RESTROOMS OR IMPROVED THE RESTROOMS. SO WE HAVE SOME MONEY SET ASIDE TO DO SOME IMMEDIATE THINGS. 
          SO THAT FOLKS, AFTER THEY, AFTER THIS IS APPROVED, CAN SEE SOME IMMEDIATE, IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO WAS THAT GENERAL FUND OR PART OF THE BOND THAT 300,000 IT WAS PART OF, IT WAS PART OF THE METROPOLITAN CHARTS CATEGORY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I MEAN THAT, THAT'S THE END OF MY QUESTION. 
          I JUST WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, I KNOW I, I'VE SPOKEN TO, TO A LOT OF STAFF ABOUT THIS AND I KIND OF AFFECTIONATELY DESCRIBED THIS PLAN AS SIX FLAGS OVER DECKER. 
          IT IS A GIGANTIC PLAN WITH A GIGANTIC PRICE TAG. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A, THERE'S A REAL FINE LINE BETWEEN A VISION AND A HALLUCINATION. 
          AND I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROCESS THAT WE SEEM TO FOLLOW WHERE WE GO TO THE PUBLIC WITH BASICALLY NO GUARD RAILS AND SAY, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE? AND THEN THE COUNCIL IS NOT INVOLVED. 
          WE'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE TO MAKE THE HARD DECISIONS, BUT WE'RE NOT INVOLVED UNTIL THE END. 
          AND NOW WE'RE PRESENTED WITH A PLAN WHICH LOOKS LIKE WE'RE PROMISING THE PUBLIC A LOT OF REALLY COOL AMENITIES. 
          THERE'S A FERRIS WHEEL ON THIS PLAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD AND AN $800 MILLION VISION PLAN WAS PUT ON THE AGENDA THERE UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES. 
          CAN I VOTE FOR IT THIS WEEK? THERE IS A LOT OF THOUGHT AND WORK TO BE DONE HERE FOR US TO THINK ABOUT. 
          ARE WE SAYING, GIVEN ALL THE OTHER NEEDS OF THIS COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE WILLING TO PUT AN $800 MILLION VISION PLAN IN? I MEAN, I'M NOT SURE THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT THE NEXT 3.5 MILLION, FRANKLY. 
          THERE ARE A LOT OF REALLY CRITICAL NEEDS IN NEIGHBORHOOD PARTS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY RIGHT NOW. 
          AND I APPRECIATE A LONGTERM VISION, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS, THIS IS A PRETTY SHINY OBJECT AND I JUST CAN'T, I CAN'T SEE GIVEN ALL THE OTHER CONSTRAINTS THAT WE'RE OPERATING UNDER, HOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON THIS WITHOUT A LOT MORE WORK FROM THE COUNCIL. 
          I'M ALL FIXED UP NOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND JIMMY, WHILE I CAN APPRECIATE YOUR, UH, OPERATING IN DIFFERENCE TO ME, BECAUSE THIS IS DISTRICT ONE, I'M REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU WENT FIRST. 
          CAUSE YOU ASKED LITERALLY ALL OF MY QUESTIONS, UM, INCLUDING, UH, AND THIS IS SORT OF THE LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVEL. 
          UM, THE FERRIS WHEEL, YOU KNOW, JUST SOME CONSIDERATIONS AROUND OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE AND WHAT DOES THAT EVEN LOOK LIKE? UM, BUT I WILL SAY I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT HIGHER LEVEL AND JUST SAY, I ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE THE TIME AND THE EFFORT 
          [01:55:01]
THAT WENT INTO THIS PROCESS. 
          I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND TIME THAT OUR PARTS FOLKS PUT INTO THIS VISION PLAN AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT THAT THE COMMUNITY PUT INTO THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DIALOGUE. 
          UM, BUT VERY MUCH LIKE MY COLLEAGUE, I HAVE SEVEN PAGES WORTH OF QUESTIONS AND I THINK THOSE ARE BEST ASKED OUTSIDE OF THE SETTING. 
          UM, I THINK THIS WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, I KNOW THAT THIS WAS HARD WORK. 
          I KNOW THAT THIS WAS A LOT OF WORK. 
          IT IS NOT LOST ON ME. 
          HOWEVER THAT THERE IS STILL A LOT MORE WORK TO BE DONE. 
          UM, WALTER ELONG THIS MASSIVE REGIONAL PARK IS ONE OF FIVE EXTRAORDINARILY IMPORTANT ASSETS WITHIN A 1.6 MILE RADIUS OF ONE ANOTHER. 
          UM, SO WE HAVE THE LIKE, YOU KNOW, DIRECTOR MCNEELY POINTED OUT. 
          WE HAVE THAT, YOU KNOW, AUSTIN ENERGY HAS A SITE RIGHT THERE ON THE LAKE. 
          WE HAVE, THEY EXPOSED CENTER, WE HAVE COLONY PARK THAT'S HAPPENING. 
          WE HAVE THE METROPOLITAN PARK RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER THAT'S HAPPENING AND THEN SO MANY OTHER THINGS. 
          AND I THINK, UM, IT IS ABSOLUTELY AT OUR LONGTERM GREATEST, GOOD, BEST INTEREST AS A MUNICIPALITY TO THINK ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS AS A COMBINED, UM, SORT OF SUITE OF ASSETS, AS OPPOSED TO A ONE OFF ASSETS, ESPECIALLY ONE LIKE THIS ONE, THAT'S JUST SO MASSIVE. 
          UM, SO THERE ARE A LOT MORE QUESTIONS WE NEED TO ASK AND ANSWER. 
          UM, THERE'S A LOT MORE TIME THAT WE NEED TO PUT INTO THIS. 
          AND SO I ALSO HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF CONCERNS ABOUT BEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD, UM, WITHOUT HAVING SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS ASKED AND OR ANSWERED IN WHICH CASE I'D LIKE TO SORT OF THINK THROUGH WHAT A LITTLE MORE TIME AND MASSAGE IT MORE BEFORE WE'RE ASKING MYSELF AND MY COLLEAGUES, FRANKLY, UM, TO SAY, YES, I'M ALSO HESITANT TO SAY YES TODAY. 
          UM, SO NO OTHER, I'M NOT SURE WHO I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION. 
          WHAT, WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS FOR GIVING THIS JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME TO TALK THROUGH SOME MORE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS? WHAT KIND OF PRESSURES ARE YOU WORKING UNDER FOR THIS? UM, OBVIOUSLY IT'S BEEN AN ENTIRE YEAR SINCE WE FINALLY BROUGHT THE PLAN TO THE, TO THE PARKS BOARD. 
          SO THE TIME CONSTRAINTS ARE MINIMAL, RIGHT. 
          I THINK THAT THE DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE TO DELIVER ON A PROMISE TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT IT A LITTLE MORE, A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY OR MORE HOLISTICALLY, OR AS IF I COULD JUST USE A COUNCIL MEMBER HARPER MADISON'S PHRASE THIS SUITE OF ASSETS. 
          AND CERTAINLY WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE COULD, AS A, AS A STAFF, CERTAINLY WE COULD WITHDRAW AND, UM, AND COME BACK AT A TIME AFTER WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER THAT MANY QUESTIONS OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IN SEPARATE MEETINGS, OF COURSE, COUNCIL ALWAYS HAS THE, UM, YOU CAN ALWAYS POSTPONE. 
          UM, SO I, I THINK OUR, OUR BIGGEST MAYBE, MAYBE I THINK OUR BIGGEST CONCERN, I WON'T SAY MAYBE I THINK OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS JUST BEING ABLE TO DELIVER SOMETHING TO THE PUBLIC. 
          WE DO HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE SOME, UM, MANDATES OR REGULATIONS IN PLACE THAT SAY THAT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT TO MOVE FORWARD, UH, WITH, WITH ANY KINDS OF IMPROVEMENTS UNTIL WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS APPROVED BY COUNCIL. 
          UH, SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN WORK TOWARDS THAT AND I'M SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO LOOK AT, TO LOOK AT THIS AS A, AS A SUITE OF ASSETS OR AS IS MORE HOLISTICALLY. 
          AND I'M ASSUMING THAT WE CAN DO THAT THE BETTER OFF THE BETTER WE WILL FEEL ABOUT DELIVERING SOMETHING TO THE THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER WITH MARIA. 
          OH YES. 
          THIS IS ONE OF THE PARKS THAT ARE, I DO GO TO, IS IT NEEDS A LOT OF LOVE. 
          IT'S MORE OF A, WHAT I WOULD CALL A PRIMITIVE TYPE PARK AND A SENSE THAT IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THE PARKS, YOU KNOW, THERE, UH, THE, UH, THERE'S HARDLY ANY SHADE THERE, VERY FEW TREES, UH, NO COVERED PICNIC TABLES AT ALL. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT EVEN PRESENTLY, THERE'S JUST PORTABLES THERE FOR RESTAURANT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY PERMANENT RESTAURANT THERE, BUT, UH, THEY MIGHT BE THERE. 
          I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING UP THERE ON THE HILL, BUT, UH, IT'S, IT NEEDS A LOT OF LAB. 
          AND I DON'T THINK WE, I MEAN, I KNOW THAT THIS PARK, IF YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GO INTO THIS PARK, THERE'S A FEE ASSOCIATED WITH ALL THE REGIONAL PARKS. 
          YOU JUST DON'T WALK IN THERE AND GO FREE. 
          AND, UH, SO, UH, YOU KNOW, IT NEEDS, IT NEEDS SOME LOVE. 
          AND, UH, I 
          [02:00:01]
WOULD HATE TO DELAY THE $3.5 MILLION FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO IT. 
          UM, I THINK THAT PEOPLE WERE USED AT EVEN MORE, IF THEY HAVE MORE, YOU KNOW, ABILITY TO, TO HAVE MORE ACTIVITIES THERE. 
          AND, UH, AND SO, UH, THE, THE BIG IMPROVEMENT THAT $8 MILLION THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S A DREAM, YOU KNOW, UH, I DON'T SEE IT BEING DONE ANYTIME SOON, UNLESS WE GO FOR A BIG MAJOR BOND ELECTION AND TO THE VOTERS, WHICH WOULD PROBABLY BE WAY DOWN THE ROAD. 
          UH, SO, YOU KNOW, BUT IT DOES NEED A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT. 
          UH, AND, UH, PEOPLE ARE REALLY WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING DOWN THERE. 
          IT'S JUST BEEN SO MANY YEARS OF NOT BEING NEGLECTED AND, AND NO INVESTMENT DONE IN IT. 
          SO I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT, TO SEE SOMETHING GETTING DONE DOWN THERE THAT, THAT WE COULD START SEEING IT AND ENJOYING THAT'S OUR KITCHEN. 
          UM, I WOULD TAKE A BIT MORE TIME, BUT AS WELL, I ALWAYS SUGGEST POSTPONING BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TOLD FOR PEOPLE TO GET THEIR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. 
          UM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S, IT IS IMPORTANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. 
          SO PERHAPS THERE BE A, AN AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT COULD BE POSTPONED FOR, BUT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS COULD ASK. 
          I WOULD ALSO SAY WHAT I WOULD ALWAYS BE THINKING OF THIS IN TERMS OF A LONG TERM PLAN AS SOON THAT'S WHAT IS INTENDED BECAUSE IT'S A VISION PLAN. 
          THIS IS THAT THE RIGHT WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT. 
          UM, IS THERE A PARTICULAR TIMEFRAME PUT ON IT OR IS IT JUST, JUST ENVISIONED AS A LONG TERM VISION IT'S ENVISIONED AS A LONGTERM PLAN AND TYPICALLY AS BOND PROGRAMS ARE, OR OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS PRESENT THEMSELVES, TAKE A LOOK BACK AT THE VISION PLAN AND WE DETERMINED WOULD BE THE NEXT PHASE. 
          WHAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO INCLUDE THAT SPACE OVER TIME? AND IT WOULD BE A COMBINATION. 
          OF COURSE, I THINK THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE SOME BOND, BUT ALSO OTHER CREATIVE WAYS OF FUNDING IT PRESENT THEMSELVES WHO WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THOSE. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I WOULD SAY THAT I DO SHARE THE INTEREST IN AND LOOKING AT HOW IT WAS WORKING, PARTICULARLY FROM A FUNDING STAND POINT. 
          SO WE COULD, UM, BUT, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW IS VISION PLAN. 
          WE'RE NOT FUNDING PLANS RIGHT NOW. 
          THAT'S A LOT MORE WORK, BUT IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. 
          I'M ALSO EXCITED ABOUT THIS. 
          THIS IS A FABULOUS FACILITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND I, I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF, FOR ME. 
          I WANT TO SEE IT, THE VISION OF WHAT WE WOULD REALLY LIKE IT TO BE UNDERSTANDING, BUT IT'S NOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE VOTING TOMORROW THAT OUR TOP PRIORITY TODAY, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE DON'T WANT TO WORK TOWARDS, UM, AN AMENITY THAT IS, YOU KNOW, AS COUNCIL RENTER HILLS WAS SAYING, AND REALLY BE AN AMAZING AMENITY FOR THE WHOLE CITY AND ESPECIALLY FOR THAT AREA OF TOWN. 
          SO I, I, I, I'M HAPPY TO HAVE AN ASPIRATIONAL VISION FOR THIS PARK AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. 
          I THINK IT'S A HUGE AMENITY. 
          I THINK IT DESERVES THE KIND OF, UM, THE KIND OF FOCUS AND THINKING AND VISIONING THAT WE'VE DONE FOR OTHER PARKS IN THE CITY. 
          IT'S BIGGER THAN ZILKER PARK, FOR EXAMPLE. 
          AND IT HAS, AND IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE THAT MUCH MORE BUT AMENITY FOR THE WHOLE CITY. 
          SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS. 
          UM, I THINK I WOULD SUPPORT A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. 
          MAYBE, YOU KNOW, I STARTED TO SAY SEPTEMBER, BUT WE'RE ALREADY IN THE SEPTEMBER, MAYBE OCTOBER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          I JUST WOULDN'T PUT IT OFF FOR VERY LONG. 
          CAUSE I, I DO THINK IT'D BE, IT'S GOOD TO SHOW THE COMMUNITY SOME PROGRESS ALSO, UM, USE THE INITIAL DOLLARS FOR JUST, JUST GETTING SOMETHING STARTED. 
          SO THANKS FOR DOING THIS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS AND, UM, UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE, WHEN WE DO LOOK AT PARKS, UM, WE VERY OFTEN ARE ASPIRATIONAL ABOUT WHERE WE WANT TO GO AND IT TAKES SOMETIMES DECADES TO, TO BUILD THEM OUT. 
          AND THIS IS AN ENORMOUS PARK AND THAT'S 
          [02:05:01]
GOING TO HAPPEN. 
          UM, I'M FINE WITH TAKING MORE TIME. 
          I JUST WANTED TO THROW OUT, UM, A PERMUTATION THAT MIGHT GIVE US THE TIME THAT WE NEED, WHICH IS THAT WE COULD, UM, THINK OF THIS AS THE AREAS. 
          THIS IS A MASSIVE LAND AREA. 
          AND, UM, IT COULD BE THAT WE COULD PASS, UM, THE VISION FOR THE SECTION THAT WE USE RIGHT NOW, UM, FOR THOSE RENOVATIONS AND WHAT WE WANT THAT TO LOOK LIKE. 
          UM, AND BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME OF THE INVESTMENTS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE MONEY, UM, NOW TO THE BATHROOMS AND SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS, WHICH I'M NOT REALLY HEARING THAT THAT WOULD CHANGE A WHOLE LOT AS WE THINK ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER SPACES THAT WE MIGHT, UM, WANT TO THINK ABOUT OR THE REGIONAL, UM, PARTNERS. 
          AND THAT PART, I THINK IS A LITTLE BIT MORE, SLIGHTLY MORE CONSTRAINED, UM, FOR ACCESS, UM, IN TERMS OF, OF HOW YOU GET THERE, UM, FROM PLACES OUTSIDE OF AUSTIN. 
          UM, SO THAT WOULD JUST BE SOMETHING AS, AS WE'RE, AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD TO THINK ABOUT. 
          IS THERE ANY VALUE IN CHUNKING THIS AND HAVING THAT, THAT ONE SECTION BE THE PAST AND WE WORK TOWARDS THAT GOAL AS WE WORK OUT THE VISION FOR THE REST OF, OF THE PIECES. 
          UM, JUST THE THOUGHT TO CONSIDER, NOT NECESSARILY FOR THIS, YOU KNOW, IN THE SHORT RUN. 
          UM, THANKS VERY MUCH. 
          THIS IS REALLY LIKE MY COLLEAGUES. 
          I SHARE THE EXCITEMENT ABOUT, ABOUT THE PLAN ABOUT MOVING FORWARD. 
          THIS HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, AN ONGOING, UM, ONGOING INTEREST TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE, TO SEE THE CONVERSATION. 
          I WOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT TAKING A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. 
          UM, THE PLAN I'D LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT MORE CAREFULLY. 
          I DID A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS IS COULD YOU HELP ME REMEMBER, I'M TRYING TO FIND IT IN THE PLAN ITSELF, BUT IT'S SO LARGE OF STRUGGLING. 
          CAN YOU REMIND ME, UM, DIRECTOR MCNEELY THE TIMELINE FOR THE CAMPUS, THE TIMELINE FOR THE CAMPING CAMPAIGN? I THINK THE CAMPING IS ACTUALLY IN A PHASE THREE OR A PHASE FOUR, WHICH WOULD THAT, THEY'RE NOT PART OF THAT. 
          UM, IT'S NOT PART OF THE INITIAL OR EVEN THE SECOND PHASE, BUT JUST, JUST TO BE CLEAR, LIKE THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY WE GO BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO WHEN WE'RE READY TO DO ELSE, WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND SAY ABOUT THIS WAS OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PHASES. 
          DOES THIS STILL MAKE SENSE OR SHOULD IT BE SOMETHING ELSE? UM, SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN PHASE THREE, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IN FIVE YEARS, IF WE'RE READY TO GO BACK IN AND DO SOME MAJOR DEVELOPMENT THAT THAT WOULD MOVE UP INSTEAD OF BEING IN, IN THREE OR FOUR, IT WOULDN'T MOVE UP TO TWO SECOND OR, OR, YOU KNOW, PART ONE C OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. 
          SO I GUESS I, YOU KNOW, I, I MEAN, I ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT MAYBE FORWARD ON THE THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE IMMEDIATE IMMEDIATE AMENITIES OR PLACES THAT ARE ALREADY BEING ENJOYED. 
          BUT I WONDER IF SOME OF THE ELEMENTS LIKE THE CAMPAIGN, UM, MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE RELATIVELY AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT COSTS TO CREATE A CAMPSITE. 
          I WOULD JUST, YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING AROUND AND SEEING WHAT I PERCEIVED AS A REALLY RENEWED INTEREST IN CAMPING RIGHT NOW, UM, BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND WONDERING IF THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE KIND OF AMENITY WE WANT TO ROLL OUT WORK QUICKLY. 
          I HAVE SEEN SO MUCH ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT PEOPLE CAMPING, AND I CAN TELL YOU CAMP EVERYTHING FROM CAMP STOVES TO, UH, YOU KNOW, ALL KINDS OF OTHER CAMPING SUPPLIES ARE SOLD OUT, BECAUSE I JUST, I WONDER ABOUT THAT KIND OF, IF IT'S RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE IN FACT, TO GET SOMETHING, SOME OF THOSE ELEMENTS, I'M JUST USING THAT ONE AS AN EXAMPLE, THAT WOULD ALLOW, UM, ENJOYMENT OF, OF NEW AREAS OF THE PARK, WHETHER THOSE CAN ALSO BE EMBEDDED THOSE CONSIDERATIONS. 
          COULDN'T ALSO BE EMBEDDED INTO THE TIMELINE THAT'S THE TIME CONSUMING, BUT SOME OF THEM MIGHT BE IN A LATER PHASE, BUT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVELY AND QUICKLY AND COULD GET BETTER, BUT MAYBE YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN THOSE KINDS OF CONSIDERATIONS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN DETERMINING YOUR PHASING. 
          IT WASN'T COMPLETELY CLEAR TO ME WHAT THE PHASING OF THE PHASING WAS. 
          I THINK YOU BRING UP VERY GOOD POINTS, CANCEL NUMBER TOGO, AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES. 
          RIGHT. 
          I MEAN, LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE THINKING THAT WE WERE BRINGING THE THROW, WE HAD CHOSEN THOSE PARTICULAR PHASES AND FRANKLY, THE TWO PARTICULAR PHASES THAT WERE CHOSEN WERE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THOSE TO BE THE ONES THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP BEST SUPPORT THE PARK THROUGH DIFFERENT REVENUE STREAMS, BUT WE'RE IN THE DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A YEAR LATER AND WHEN WE START THE DEVELOPMENT AND LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT TIME, 
          [02:10:01]
SO AGAIN, IT GOES BACK TO IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ENGAGED THE COMMUNITY, TO DETERMINE WHAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST APPROPRIATE THING TO DO. 
          SECOND. 
          UM, SO I T I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER AS WE, AS WE BEGIN TO DEPART DEVELOPMENT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, I, HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY REVIEW THE VISION PLAN CAREFULLY TO, TO LOOK AT HOW CAREFULLY IT ENGAGES OR HEALTHCARE RELATED, ENGAGES AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. 
          I KNOW I HEARD A COUPLE MENTIONED BONDS AND OTHER KINDS OF FUNDING TERMS TRUCES AS PROPENSITY OR H RUSE. 
          UM, I WOULD JUST MENTION A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS, UH, SOMEWHERE IN YOUR SLIDE, YOU TALKED ABOUT KIND OF A WELCOME CENTER OF VISION CENTER. 
          IT'S MY MEMORY OF OUR CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX THAT VISITOR CENTERS AND INFORMATION CENTERS ARE, UM, DOUBLE EXPENSES UNDER HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX REVENUE. 
          UM, AS OUR, I BELIEVE SOME OF THE OTHER ELEMENTS LIKE THE LODGE, UM, YOU KNOW, OTHER, OTHER THINGS THAT ARE REALLY AIMED AT INCREASING VISITORS FROM OUT OF TOWN VISITORS AT THIS SITE WOULD, I WOULD, I WOULD ARGUE BE ELIGIBLE FOR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX. 
          SO I HOPE THAT WE'LL BE AT A LARGE CONSIDERATION FOR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES HERE. 
          UM, THAT'S IT FOR THE MOMENT? OH, NO, NO ONE LAST QUESTION. 
          COULD YOU SORT OF BRIEFLY ENCAPSULATE THE GOLF ALTERNATIVE? YEAH. 
          AND SO THE GOLF ALTERNATIVE WAS TOOK UP APPROXIMATELY ONE THIRD OF THE PARK. 
          UM, IT WAS, UH, RIGHT ALONG THE WATER'S EDGE AND IT ALSO TRAVERSED, UM, TRANSMISSION SLASH DISTRIBUTION LINES FROM, FROM, UH, UM, AUSTIN ENERGY. 
          UM, THE, UH, FINAL SURVEY THAT THE DEPARTMENT TO, UH, TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT GOLF WAS AN, UM, AN AGREEABLE AMENITY OR SOMETHING THAT WAS WIDELY, WIDELY, WIDELY DESIRED BY THE USERS. 
          UM, WE FOUND THAT IT WAS NOT THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT PEOPLE WERE LOOKING FOR. 
          UM, WE DID DO SOME ADDITIONAL EXPLORATION WITH THE, UM, WITH PGA AND WE DID DO SOME ADDITIONAL EXPLORATION WITH, UH, OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO DETERMINE, UH, FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT, HOW THAT REVENUE STREAM MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP SUPPORT THE PARK. 
          AND IT REALLY BECAME, UM, AS TIME WENT ON, IT REALLY BECAME LESS AND LESS CLEAR OF ANY SORTS OF COMMITMENTS BY, UH, OTHER ENTITIES TO WANT TO PARTNER WITH US. 
          AND SO, UM, BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY HAD SAID, UH, THIS IS THE DESIRED, UM, VISION THAT WE HAVE FOR THE, FOR THE, UH, PARK. 
          THAT IS THE ONE THAT WE BROUGHT FORWARD INSTEAD OF, UH, THE, THE SECOND OR THE THIRD ALTERNATIVE OF HAVING A GOLF COURSE. 
          THANKS FOR THAT SUMMARY. 
          I WAS PART OF THOSE INITIAL CONVERSATIONS WHEN THERE WAS A PROPOSAL, A PRIVATE PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP A PORTION OF THIS AS A GOLF COURSE, AND I WASN'T SURE. 
          AND LOOKING THROUGH YOUR TABLE OF CONTENTS, AND THEN WE DID GET SOME EMAILS ABOUT IT AS WELL, WHETHER WHETHER THAT WAS THE ALTERNATIVE THAT WAS EXPLORED IN THIS VISION PLAN. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR BOTH PROVIDING THAT CONTEXT, BUT ALSO GIVING US A SUMMARY ABOUT WHAT THE CONCLUSION WAS. 
          YOU KNOW, THAT TO ME, UM, SEVERAL OF US FELT THAT THAT CONVERSATION WAS MOVING TOO QUICKLY WITHOUT A CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER POTENTIAL USES OF THIS SPACE. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS TO BE THAT THAT REQUEST FOR A MORE DELIBERATIVE PROCESS SHOWS EXACTLY, YOU KNOW, WHY, WHY THAT IS THE BEST APPROACH, BECAUSE, UH, IT, WITH MORE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT ALTERNATIVES AND ALTERNATIVE PUBLIC USES, IT SOUNDS AS IF THE COMMUNITY HAS, FROM WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, THAT COMMUNITY CAME AROUND TO A VERY DIFFERENT POSITION THAN WAS THE ONE, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT WAS ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA, MOVING THROUGH AT, AT WHAT I WOULD SAY WAS A RAPID PACE. 
          SO IF YOU, THANKS FOR, THANKS FOR THAT SUMMARY AND THANKS TO YOU FOR THAT FOR PEANUT, WHEN I INTERPRET TO BE A REMINDER OF THE IMPORTANCE OF REALLY COUNSEL PROCESS, THAT'S VERY MUCH ABOUT TALKING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND NOT JUST TALKING TO THE COMMUNITY QUICKLY, BUT DOING THAT MORE, THAT REALLY MORE CHALLENGING LONGER-TERM WORK OF. 
          SO I WOULD JOIN IN, UM, MY COLLEAGUES AND THINKING, UH, YOU AND YOUR STAFF WAS ALWAYS THE COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS, OBVIOUSLY A HUGE UNDERTAKING, UM, AND, AND INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY AND PROMISE FOR THIS PROPERTY. 
          UM, UH, I WOULD ALSO JOIN YOU IN, UH, NOT BRINGING THIS UP THE SUITE TO ALLOW THOSE INITIAL CONVERSATIONS TO TAKE PLACE. 
          AND THEN MAYBE OUT OF THE VERY FIRST OF THOSE, UH, YOU COULD DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT MADE SENSE TO BRING BACK THAT FIRST PHASE IT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHAT OUR GUEST NUMBER AUTHOR, UH, SUGGESTED, UH, AS PART OF THE CONVERSATIONS 
          [02:15:01]
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SUITE OF, OF OPPORTUNITIES. 
          UM, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO FIGURE OUT, UH, THE EXPO CENTER, UH, AND, AND THERE'VE BEEN SOME RESOLUTIONS THAT HAVE COME FROM, UH, THE COUNCIL ON THAT, YOU KNOW, EXACTLY WHAT HE'S, THAT, WHICH THAT THE, NO, IT'S NOT IN THIS BEST STATE OF REPAIR RIGHT NOW. 
          AND THERE IS EXPRESSED INTEREST TO THAT. 
          SO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THAT MIGHT BE APPROACH, I'VE NEVER SEEN, UH, ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH THEY MISS THE BUSINESS PLAN ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES. 
          THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN A HOLE IN MY MIND AND TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT. 
          UH, THERE HAVE BEEN CONVERSATIONS, UH, ABOUT THE HOT TAX AND GETTING A FEEL FOR JUST HOW MUCH, UH, UH, HEAD IN BED REVENUE, UH, SOMETHING OUT THERE GENERATES, UH, ALSO SOMETHING THAT I COULD NEVER SEE, BUT I, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AS PART OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE, THAT ARE, ARE CONTINUING A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK YET. 
          THE MAYOR PRO TEM AND THAT COUNCIL MEMBER, ALEX, THANK YOU FOR ALL THIS DISCUSSION. 
          YEAH. 
          FROM MY COLLEAGUES, I WAS CURIOUS, IT IS A WAY TO LOOK AT THIS MORE LIKE, UM, I HEAR THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE, UM, THE INITIAL PRICE TAG, BUT THEN I'M ALSO HEARING THAT THIS IS, UM, YOU KNOW, A VISUAL. 
          SO IT IS, YOU KNOW, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, THE PROJECT CONNECT VISION MAP RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING FOR EVERY SINGLE THING ON THERE, BUT IT'S JUST A, THIS IS ONCE WE GET THE FUNDING, THIS IS WHAT THIS SYSTEM WOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          IS THIS, IS THAT A SIMILAR? AND OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, ALL THE STUDIES, THERE'S A, THERE'S A, IT'S NOT A APPLES TO APPLES, BUT IS THAT A WAY TO UNDERSTAND THIS GOOD WAY TO KIND OF LOOK AT IT? YES. 
          THAT IT'S SO BIG. 
          WE NEVER ENVISIONED THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT NEVER INTENDED TENDED, NOR DID WE ENVISION NOR DO I BELIEVE HE COMMUNICATED TO THE COMMUNITY THAT EVERYTHING WOULD COME AT ONCE, BUT WE HAVE A SO THAT WHEN OPPORTUNITIES BECOME AVAILABLE GRANTS FROM THE TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE PARTNERSHIPS, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS, WE CAN ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND SAY, GREAT, WE HAVE THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY. 
          THAT'S WHAT DO WE WANT TO APPLY IT TO? AND LET'S GET THAT PART DONE. 
          BUT WITHOUT A PLAN IT'S HARD FOR US TO BE ABLE TO, UM, FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. 
          SO I THINK YOU SUMMARIZED IT WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IT DOES IT. 
          AND DOES IT TRY TO COMPARE THIS TO OTHER ALL TOGETHER THINGS WE LEARNED IN THIS JOB? DOES IT CREATE A SITUATION WHERE THIS IS LIKE A SHOVEL READY THING? SO WHEN THAT GRANT BECOMES AVAILABLE, WE, WE SAY, LOOK, WE HAVE THIS VISION. 
          THIS IS WHY THIS GRANT FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, HALF A MILLION IN VOLLEYBALL COURTS, BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS PLAN THAT SHOWS YOU, THESE WERE THE VOLLEYBALL COURTS ARE GOING TO GO. 
          IS THAT KIND OF A SIMILAR OPPORTUNITY? YES. 
          THAT, THAT TOO, IT HELPS US WITH THE SHOVEL READY. 
          THERE MAY BE, I DON'T WANT TO BE DISINGENUOUS AND SAY, THERE MIGHT NOT BE OTHER THINGS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO TO BE COMPLETELY SHOVEL-READY, BUT IT'S A HUGE STEP IN THAT DIRECTION SO THAT THERE MIGHT BE A MINOR THING THEY'VE DONE TO BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR A GRANT OR THEIR OPPORTUNITY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN THIS MIGHT BE, I'M SORRY, IF THIS WAS ANSWERED IN COUNCILMEMBER TOGO'S QUESTIONS, BUT THE I'M ASSUMING THE PLAN CAN BE NIMBLE IN THAT THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, UM, THERE'S A NEW SPORT THAT COMES ALONG AND, YOU KNOW, IT COULD WHERE WE'RE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, I JUST KEEP USING VOLVO QUOTES. 
          I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY'RE IN THERE, BUT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE IN 10 YEARS, PEOPLE HATE VOLLEYBALL OR SOMETHING LIKE IT DOES APPROVING THIS STILL ALLOWS US TO BE IN, IN, IN THIS. 
          RIGHT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO WHEN I, WHEN I TRIED TO DO, AND MAYBE I WASN'T SUCCESSFUL IS TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE'S SOME FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS. 
          WHAT SAID THAT SAYS THAT HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN PUT CERTAIN KINDS OF DEVELOPMENT WHEN THERE'S CONCEPTUAL CONCEPTS, WHICH ARE THE FEATURES OR THE AMENITIES, WHICH WILL CHANGE OVER 10 YEARS. 
          JUST LIKE YOU SAID, VOLLEYBALL MAY NO LONGER BE A SPORT THAT ANYONE WANTS TO PLAY, BUT SINCE WE HAVE WE'VE YET TO CONCEIVE OR EVEN UNDERSTAND IS NOW, NOW SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE FOR US TO, TO BUILD. 
          AND WE GO LIKE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN LAST QUESTION. 
          UM, MY, MY VISITS TO THIS PARK HAD BEEN PRIMARILY FOR RUNNING EVENTS AND I DID MY FIRST, UH, COUPLE OF TRIATHLONS THERE. 
          UM, AND SO I'M CURIOUS, AND I'M SORRY IF I MISSED THIS. 
          UM, HAVE WE REACHED OUT TO THAT COMMUNITY BECAUSE I KNOW LIKE, AND THEN I MAY BE GETTING THIS WRONG, BUT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH DIFFERENT PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS FOR ZOCOR AND AUDITORIUM SHORES, BECAUSE THERE'S THREE SPECIFIC KINDS OF EVENTS. 
          THEY'RE LIKE LIVE MUSIC, YOU KNOW? AND, AND SO THEY KIND OF PARTNER WITH US AND HELP 
          [02:20:01]
US MAINTAIN THAT AREA BECAUSE THEY USE IT FOR THEIR LIVE MUSIC TO HAVE, WE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH LIKE THESE ATHLETIC GROUPS WHO, WHO USE THIS PARK, I'VE DONE THE DECKER CHALLENGE THERE. 
          I'VE DONE THE, UM, A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SPRINT TRIATHLONS. 
          AND SO, UM, UM, AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN GREAT FOR THOSE PURPOSES. 
          AND I THINK IT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER FOR, FOR THOSE KINDS OF SPORTS. 
          HE ASKED ME, ABSOLUTELY DID. 
          AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY PART OF A FOCUS GROUP CONVERSATION. 
          I KEPT FOCUSING ON, UM, WHEN I SAID EVENTS, I WAS FOCUSING A LOT ON MUSIC AND PERFORMANCE ART, BUT THEY WERE, THEY WERE PART OF THAT GROUP OF EVENTS. 
          SO RUNNING EVENTS AND MARATHONS AND TRIATHLONS, THAT'S AN EVENT FOR US TOO. 
          OKAY. 
          AWESOME. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER, ELLA. 
          THANKS MAYOR. 
          UM, I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH, UM, A LOT OF MY COLLEAGUES ABOUT WANTING MORE TIME TO KIND OF THINK THROUGH THE PHASING AND THE FUNDING AND KIND OF WHAT OUR OPTIONS WOULD BE. 
          UM, I'M CURIOUS IF IT, IF THIS IS ON THE GREEN LINE OR NEAR THE POTENTIAL FOR OUR GREEN LINE, HAS THERE BEEN THOUGHT TO, UM, ENTRY AND ACCESS POINTS FOR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT WANT TO UTILIZE THAT IN THE FUTURE OR CONVERSATIONS AROUND A CIRCULATOR TO MAKE, CAN USE ALL THE DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THIS? DID THEY DECIDE TO GO AND NOT TAKE THEIR OWN VEHICLE? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN PART OF THIS PLANNING PROCESS? SO ALLIES, YOU BROKE UP JUST A LITTLE BIT. 
          DID I HEAR YOU SAY GREEN, GREEN LINE AND TRANSPORTATION? YEAH. 
          I WANTED TO THINK ABOUT IF THERE, IF IT'S NEAR THE GREEN LINE AND IF THERE WOULD BE A STOP OR PEOPLE WHO WOULD WANT TO USE IT IN THE FUTURE. 
          SO THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS HE ASKED ME, SENDS ME TO CONSIDER PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AND HOW PEOPLE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE PARK WITHOUT USING THEIR VEHICLE. 
          I KNOW THE PLAN IS THAT SPECIFICALLY SHOWED PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE, BUT WE ALSO CONSIDERED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND BUS STOPS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IS THERE ANY TALK ABOUT A CIRCULATOR OR PEOPLE WHO MAY WANT TO GET TO A DIFFERENT AREA OF THE PARK TO USE A DIFFERENT ASSET, UM, BUT MAYBE CAN'T USE THEIR BIKE OR, OR TAKE THEIR CAR? I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR WHEN WE HAVE THE DESIGN PROCESS. 
          I THINK IT WAS SPOKEN ABOUT OBVIOUSLY, CAUSE IT'S SO LARGE AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A TRAIL THAT CONNECTS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE SPOKE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT, UM, ABOUT A PEOPLE MOVER, UM, WITHIN THE PARK SYSTEM, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE COULD CONSIDER. 
          AND I DID WANT TO JUST MENTION THAT THERE IS, UM, A PLANNED OR PROPOSED BUS, A BUS STOP ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SO THAT'S, UM, SOMEONE JUST TEXTED ME. 
          SO LET ME KNOW THAT I SHOULD TELL YOU THAT THEY ALREADY THERE IS ALREADY A PROPOSED BUS STOP. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S FANTASTIC. 
          AND I'LL, I'LL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT. 
          AND, UM, I'M KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT AMENITIES ARE GOING TO BE OFFERED WHERE, SO MAKING SURE THERE'S THERE'S RESTROOMS AVAILABLE OR, YOU KNOW, PLACES TO GET WATER OR FOOD OR THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE ALREADY THINKING ABOUT, I JUST WANT A LITTLE MORE TIME ALSO TO KIND OF REVIEW THAT AND UNDERSTAND ALL THOSE DIFFERENT LAYERS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANKS. 
          ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO JUST MENTION, UM, AND THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT THIS ON MY STUFF. 
          UH, WE HAD HAD CONVERSATIONS IN THE PAST ABOUT THE DECOMMISSIONING OF DECKER OF THE DECKER POWER PLANT AND WHETHER THERE WOULD BE ANY FUNDING POSSIBLE THROUGH, UM, THROUGH THAT PROJECT. 
          YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY, NOT ALWAYS, BUT SOMETIMES, UM, WHEN WE HAVE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT, UM, THERE ARE IRRIGATION FUNDS THAT GO TO THE PARKS. 
          AND SO, UH, WE HAD ASKED AUSTIN ENERGY ABOUT THAT AT SOME POINT. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HAD ANY ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHETHER THERE WOULD BE ANY FUNDS COMING FORWARD, UM, FROM AUSTIN ENERGY TO HELP MITIGATE THE IMPACT ON THAT AREA, UM, THROUGH THE LIFE OF THAT POWER, POWER PLANT AND WHETHER THOSE, YOU KNOW, CAUSE THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER FUNDING SOURCE THAT COULD BE REINVESTED IN THE PARK. 
          SURE. 
          AT THE TIME OF OUR CONVERSATIONS, WE DID INCLUDE, THEY WERE PROUD OF THAT. 
          THEY WERE PART OF OUR, UM, OUR STAKEHOLDER GROUP. 
          AND AT THE TIME WHEN WE BEGAN TO DISCUSS THIS, THAT AG WAS NOT IN A PLACE TO HELP US UNDERSTAND EXACTLY THE FUTURE OF THAT PARTICULAR POWER PLANT NOR ANY SORT OF TIMEFRAME FOR, FOR DECOMMISSIONING, BUT, UH, ABSOLUTELY THEY'RE GOOD PARTNERS WITH US. 
          AND SO I'M SURE THAT WHEN THE TIME IS APPROPRIATE, WE CAN, WE EXPLORE AND REENGAGE ON THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC IT'S BEING DECOMMISSIONED BY 2020, YOU KNOW, FULLY DECOMMISSIONED BY 2022. 
          SO I THINK 
          [02:25:01]
THAT THAT IS, I THINK THAT TIME IS RIGHT NOW TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. 
          AND I SEE, YOU KNOW, THE HOLLY POWER PLANT AS A PRECEDENT IN THAT THERE WERE MITIGATION FUNDS THAT WERE USED FOR, FOR THE PARK AS WELL AS I THINK FOR THE LEAD MITIGATION PROGRAM, WHICH, UM, WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE JOHNNY LIMONE LAST WEEK. 
          HE WAS VERY TO BE IN RUBY, RUIN, HELPED GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT, ABOUT, UM, THE LEAD MITIGATION PROGRAMS. I WANT THAT MOMENT TO SLIP BY, WITHOUT MENTIONING THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THAT. 
          BUT IT, THIS IS, I THINK AS A CITY, WE HAVE A PRECEDENT FOR WHEN WE DECOMMISSION THOSE POWER PLANTS FOR REINVESTING IN, IN THE SURROUNDING AREA AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE PHYSICAL DAMAGE, TO THE LAND AROUND, AROUND THOSE POWER PLANTS. 
          AND SO, AND I'M JUST LOOKING BACK, I THINK I EVEN HAVE LANGUAGE IN THE GEN PLAN LANGUAGE FROM THE JET GENERATION PLAN ABOUT THAT, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. 
          WE ENGAGED WITH THEM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND LET'S PUT IT, I'LL PUT IT ON THE AGENDA TOO, AS WELL FOR OUR AA MEETING TO TALK ABOUT AT OUR NEXT DAY MEETING. 
          BUT IF YOU PROBABLY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION SOONER, AND I THINK THAT COULD BE A VERY GOOD SOURCE OF SOME ADDITIONAL THINGS. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY MORE COMMENTS FROM THIS REPORT BEFORE WE LET ALL, ALRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          NOW WHEN IT COMES TO MEMBER HELP HER MADISON HAD HER HAND UP OR I'M SORRY. 
          THAT'S OKAY. 
          I TRIED TO, I TRIED TO RAISE IT EXTRA HIGH THIS TIME TOO. 
          FORTUNATELY, IT'S SUPER BRIEF. 
          I JUST WANTED TO AGAIN, SAY THANK YOU TO DIRECTOR MCNEELY AND THE TEAM FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THEY'VE PUT INTO THIS. 
          IT'S CLEAR THAT, YOU KNOW, THE SIZE, THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT IT IS THAT WE ARE POTENTIALLY ABOUT TO ACCOMPLISH HERE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE EASTERN CRESCENT COMMUNITY THAT, YOU KNOW, AS A CITY IN TERMS OF ATONEMENT, RIGHT? WE HAVE SOME, WE HAVE SOME MAKING UP TO DO, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. 
          WE ARE FINALLY MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF BRINGING THE TYPES OF IMMUNE AMENITIES AND THE TYPES OF, UM, CARE, CONCERN, CONSIDERATION TO THIS, TO MY COMMUNITY. 
          UM, FINALLY, IF IT FEELS GOOD AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY EXCITED. 
          THERE WERE TWO THINGS THAT WERE MENTIONED THAT I ACTUALLY SORT OF FORGOT, ESPECIALLY CAUSE LIKE I SAID, I'VE GOT A LAUNDRY LIST OF QUESTIONS AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH A LOT OF THESE THINGS ALREADY. 
          SO I DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT HERE. 
          WE KNOW WE'VE ALREADY BEEN TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THESE THINGS, INCLUDING I THINK IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING, THE CONCEPT THAT COUNCILMEMBER TOBO BROUGHT UP ABOUT MAYBE ACCELERATING THE PACE AT WHICH WE ENGAGE IN THE CAMPING COMPONENT. 
          I THINK MOVING THAT UP TO, UH, AN EARLIER PHASE IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA. 
          AND I HOPE THAT DURING THE COURSE OF OUR NEXT COUPLE OF CONVERSATIONS, WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THAT. 
          I ALSO REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER ALTAR SAID ABOUT BEING ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE THOSE INITIAL INVESTMENTS ON INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          BECAUSE ULTIMATELY WHEN I SAY, I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE TO TAKE THE TIME NECESSARY TO MAKE THE APPROPRIATE NEXT STEPS IT'S BECAUSE WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS BE INEFFICIENT OR, YOU KNOW, HAVE A PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO ALREADY BE COSTLY. 
          IT COSTS MORE THAN IT NEEDS TO BECAUSE WE DIDN'T TAKE THE STEPS SEQUENTIALLY. 
          UM, IN WHICH CASE I, I REALLY THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA TO GO AHEAD AND JUST SORT OF BE MINDFUL ABOUT, UM, MAKING THAT INITIAL INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY AFFECT THE OTHER ELEMENTS. 
          THEN LASTLY, THE QUESTION THAT, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER TOPO BROUGHT UP ABOUT GOLF, UM, REALLY REMINDED ME OF A QUESTION THAT I HAD, UM, REMINDED ME OF A QUESTION THAT I HAD ABOUT, I THINK IT WAS SLIDE NUMBER 12, THERE'S A, A SECTION ABOUT A GOLF CLUBHOUSE. 
          AND GIVEN THAT I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE ENGAGED IN THE SAME CONVERSATIONS THAT I AM, AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ME AS THOUGH WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS FROM THIS, YOU KNOW, REALLY MASSIVE AND AMAZING ASSET IS OFF. 
          SO I'M JUST, I'M WONDERING WHY THERE'S A GOLF CLUBHOUSE ON THE, ON THE SLIDE OR GULF COAST. 
          I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE GOLF, GOLF, AND I WILL HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK FOR YOU BECAUSE THAT MIGHT JUST BE MY, UM, MY USER ERROR, ME PUTTING TOGETHER THIS SLIDESHOW AND NOT, NOT COMING THROUGH ALL THE INFORMATION AND BRING IT OUT. 
          SO PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE'S NO, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TRICK ANYONE AND PUT A SLIDE OF GOLF COURSE IN THERE UNDER YOUR NOSE BECAUSE WE PUT A GOLF, A GOLF CLUB HOUSE IN THERE THAT WOULD JUST COMPLETELY BE MY ERA, BUT THERE IS THE DISTINCT POSSIBILITY THAT IT'S JUST GOLF. 
          SO I'LL JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE I'D GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE SLIDES A LITTLE MORE CLOSELY, SO I CAN CONFIRM THAT FOR YOU. 
          YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET UP PRETTY EARLY IN THE MORNING TO GET AROUND ME DIRECTLY. 
          WELL, THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT CLARIFICATION. 
          OKAY. 
          [02:30:01]
THANK YOU. 
          AND YOUR TEAM AGAIN. 
          I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF, A LOT OF WORK AND A LOT OF, A LOT OF, SO WE REALLY WHOLEHEARTEDLY, I APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORT THAT HAS GONE INTO IT SO FAR AND LOOK FORWARD TO MOVING FORWARD IN A WAY THAT'S REALLY GOING TO GET US WHAT IT IS AND WE'RE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY GRAND BABIES TO PLAY AT THIS PART. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          I THINK THAT'S IT COLLEAGUES. 
          IT IS, UH, IS 1130, UH, THREE, UH, ON EXECUTIVE SESSION. 
          WE HAVE FOUR THINGS. 
          WE HAVE THE DISCUSSION OF, UH, COMPENSATION FOR OUR THREE OF OUR APPOINTEES. 
          WE HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE, UH, WITH THE MANAGER. 
          MY QUESTION TO YOU RIGHT NOW IS DO YOU WANT TO BREAK HERE AT 1230 AT 1130 AND COME BACK AND EXECUTIVE SESSION TO TAKE UP ALL OF THEM AT 1230? OR DO YOU WANT TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR 30 MINUTES AND RECEIVE INFORMATION FROM, UH, FROM, UH, UH, HR, UH, RELATIVE TO THE, TO THE FIRST THREE AND THEN BREAK FOR LUNCH? UM, THEIR PROGRAM, IF MY COLLEAGUES WOULDN'T MIND, I'D PREFER TO GO NOW BECAUSE I UNFORTUNATELY HAVE SOME COMMITMENTS THAT I WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AFTER NOON. 
          SO, UM, I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE GO AND JUST FOR 30 MINUTES, AT LEAST I CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE 30 MINUTES OF IT. 
          OKAY. 
          NEVER TO HAVE OBJECTION TO THAT. 
          ALRIGHT THEN WE'LL, LET'S WHAT WE'LL DO. 
          [E. Executive Session E1. Discuss legal issues related to open government matters (Private consultation with legal counsel - Section 551.071 of the Government Code). E3. Discuss re-appointment, compensation, and benefits for the City Auditor (Personnel matters - Section 551.074 of the Government Code). E4. Discuss compensation and benefits for the Municipal Court Clerk (Personnel matters - Section 551.074 of the Government Code). E5. Discuss the employment, duties, and evaluation of the City Manager (Personnel matters - Section 551.074 of the Government Code). ]
UH, IT IS 1134 IN THE CITY COUNCIL AND I'LL GO INTO CLOSED SESSION TO TAKE OUT FOUR ITEMS PURSUANT TO FIVE, FIVE, ONE OH SEVEN FOR A GOVERNMENT CODE. 
          WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS PERSONNEL MATTERS RELATED TO  HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN. 
          SO WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE WILL NOW GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. 
          GUESS WHAT? OUR KITCHEN, I JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT ORDER YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE BUFFET. 
          AND I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO DOING THIS. 
          I JUST HAVE SOMETHING ELSE I HAVE TO DO FROM A LEVEL WHERE I WOULD TAKE IT DEPENDING ON WHO WE HAVE STANDING BY THEIR SENSE OF THE ORDER OF MUNICIPAL CLERK, CITY CLERK, AND THEN AUDITOR. 
          THEN I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY JUST GET THE DOWNLOAD FROM HR ON ALL THREE AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE WILL BE THOSE. 
          SO WE'LL TAKE THE FOURTH ONE AFTER LUNCH, THEN THIS IS INCORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU WITH THAT THEN. 
          YES. 
          DOES HE HAVE ANY SEND MEETING THIS AFTERNOON? SO I UNDERSTAND.
