Council - workshop

It's what I'm going to call supporters of And I want to note that most of our work is excused for the attendance. And teachers have three items tonight. The first will be the multi-community wellhead protection plan and source water sustainability updates, which will take about a half hour. And then at 5.45, we'll move into the social media comments discussion. And approximately 6 o'clock, we'll turn it over to the natural resources management committee. So with that, I just wanted to tell you, we're going to do this in eight years. So this is going to be super, super exciting. So I'll try to get through this pretty quickly and make sure that there's a number of things that we need to cover. There's two items that I'm planning today. The first is a big community board protection plan. And the second related to this is we have a discussion of groundwater strengths throughout the state, the Central and Central Area, with sustainability health reports. Those are the policies that follow. And I just want to give you a little background on this. First, lower prediction planning. It's intended to protect public works, plus some of the existing evidence. The regulation that guides this is the state lower prediction policy, which is November 4, 2020, which is implemented by the Department of Health. The general crisis is, first, the drinking water supply management area is not as good as you can probably hope for. And the future protection plan is prepared for that, the drinking water supply management area, because that's a state plan that typically over a year has been trained, or maybe a year, protection measures. Thank you. that sort through each public water supplier to invent its own individualized weapon protection plan. But I was particularly here when I spent drill days creating areas that were different to those of us and different suppliers involved with it. I created regulatory ambiguity and infusion of the different plans for purifying different cities with their different overfilling constitutions in the same area. and they'll be really good at dealing with that. So, as a result, that's what we do. We work with Metro City's partner, the Department of Health, that's what we counsel, pilot the new multi-community approach. We are behind the whole partner. And so, if you have one that you want to supply, get your help. We can get them to do that. That's what we do. Thank you all for your participation. So far, one of the plans already contains an endowment. Essentially, that constitutes the technical work that goes into alleviating the drinking water department in the area. All right. And then, with this, they made lots of time travel through the eight weeks of state. They made a lot of supply bills, developed a new sub-regional groundwater flow. All of this is all related to a lot of new geology, to a lot of more conductive information, to fly-by, water-treated innovation. We just will be able to get through this. And I'm also going to like to thank the three of you. Thank you so much. So this is the extent of our Ricky Mars plugin, which we are currently sharing with these other West Metro communities. And how this is going to be added is it's based on the 10-year time of travel of a traveler to the nearest conference call-in level. So if you could do all the full information, you'll be right to enter that into your model. And we definitely know why it takes pretty long to flow. So you're going to need this as well as you're still going to need this extension. I think one of the things that we've been trying to focus on taking into this design is how our water will be underlined up for use through contamination from the surface. This is a change we've done in our current and through our previous individualized well-infected plant. And I'll briefly go over that as well. Also, this is actually a plant with a lot of long-term electrical characteristics. It's lower than that. It's got a lot of standing, fast, equal-framed soils, and no crop retardants for it. water, layer-resistant pollutant of water. Now, those are going to be higher, lower than that. So a lot of layers of clay or other clay that we'll spray on it that prevent the treatment of water through them will be lower than the container's layer. So we'll be looking at the results down here to the news area. This is actually a recent single change from our previous reports, but I think we have a floor to expense covering more of the southern section of the city, as well as higher vulnerability concentrations across the region. So a little bit of a review of these changes. it's the case that it's more predictable. Then we could change the methodology for fracture flow calculations. That is, if you go to groundwater through larger, longer feet, perhaps, features in the ground as opposed to the floors, the only rates are reduced. So we are loving less water from our wells. And then we were at the time that the three-gauge well protection plan is prepared. It's about straining the overall expense of the quiz well. This will be a complex water sprout. I'll be your friend when this is introduced. A question is, although we haven't included the airports now, we're probably less vulnerable because we're not having to do with the airport area. Well, it's a, it's less of a regulatory complexity, that's for sure, because we're not now having to implement as many to perform protection actions outside of our jurisdiction. We are part of that. You see with the new expense, there is not that same expense going out into the area. I guess, you know, that's part one of the plan, was the motion and approval of the new plan. There are other provisions for the new plan, but the next step is to prepare part two of the plan, which describes the actions that we're going to take to source water for the actual pre-fermentation portion of the plan. Where we are at with this, the Department of Health is currently working with consultants to finalize, actually, a different source inventory, which by the looks of it is, like, 100 storage tanks, potentially unsealed, tied in wells, that are in vulnerable areas of this world. We're currently preparing two chapters, part two, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Urban Cities. We have multiple projects in the plan. Some of these respond to local communities, some of them in the U.S. measures. In short, there's a number three to four to apply in addition to planning, as well as planning evaluation and competition. So the next steps are, essentially, like this schedule, to photograph plans, plans to be ready by August to September 20.6 for review at the second level of participating local governments. We've gotten to see the incorporation in November of 2020.6. Part of the reason for bringing this to the decision tonight is because there is actually a required council for adoption of part two, and that would be to hold a public hearing for this being a memory for each of the states, but whenever it's interesting, part two of the plan is ready for adoption. Well, with that, I'm going to go back to the Department of Health for final approval. And I'm going to take some questions at the end. I just want to make sure that we don't all go to our seats. I'm going to pause the presentation here. Is there any more questions about the EWL implementation plan? The number of my network drivers are going to be in the same place that both are going to be running. So that's a lot. That is, these are some small areas of individual infiltration. As you saw already, this is very good. If you've got a higher level of care, if you have to clarify a couple of lives, you're going to have some intimidation from some others. So that's a big one. There's also the contracting of protective forces that has to be done within my vulnerability areas. And the implementation action from the driver's side is nice. So I don't see any incidents there testing from those areas. So just to lay a... for example, if it's no longer used, it's taking much greater urgency to hide over 20 years. I have a question for you both. Like, the area went down, and I can kind of see a part of this that doesn't make sense, because the fact is they were pumping less evidence in 20 years. There's two red bars pumping a lot more than we allowed. But, you know, it's hard to do a big administration thing as far as there's no water. Like, can we go back and do it in a way that you need to change it? Or how does it work? Like, what do you want to do? So that's the question. There is a quality of the data that we're submitting. So the plan is to revisit and update the rural and wildlife calculations. Is that what we've done? It will be easy to go through rehabilitation as well as, at the next plan cycle, re-evaluate and choose things after these are actually in place for a long period of time. If you're much involved in stormwater management, I believe that's the area where it builds the infiltration system, the area that's classified as water. And it did your 3-value unit and found information to be I would actually tweet a lot if we had a certain answer, but I don't think we'd be very proactive where we'd come up with and say, you have to do this. I don't want to do this. This is a must-fly. The other curiosity I have, and I understand it might be on the maintenance issues, but I've been told in the past one of the reasons we don't do, like, boulevard rain turtles on a computer basis is because of this understanding right now that from the ground water protection angle, there's not a big plan, like, to solve that for bridge field equipment, to have those. That's really because, like, the way I see it, it's been a year. So, yeah, that was great, because under the previous plan, we were in this red area. In order to infiltrate somewhere where we have, you know, a permitted stormwater activity, we would have to conduct high-level work here. And that's basically what we've done. That's fine. That's awesome. That's complexity. So, under the new expense, that does, you know, speed it up a little more. It's more feasible. It's longer. It's better. It's more specific. There are challenges with the pulper recurrence as well. If you use the pulper paint that's angled at you, it doesn't hurt a lot. I think we're talking about something that's very specific. One barrier is when this is looking at us, right? Right. Other questions? Thank you for that, Brad. So we're looking to plan dry really nice to resolve contamination, but we also need to consider the quantity of water, of sample water source. And this is more specifically to focus on our water supply plan, which is also a new element. The process is being updated at the moment. But I thought a description of not a lot of trends. The sustainability to that is a particular part of what we're doing, but not so specifically what we're doing. So we'll make sure that the first model resources are, you know, those from upstream. I think worldwide trends or using the third part of this panel. It is a very small percentage of total raw earth. The third part of it is readily available for people to use. And this is from our petition. It's actually been issued in many places around the world. And we'll take a look at it soon from here. So this is a map of total groundwater surface trends collected based on sensing data from those prominent areas. It's in Tennessee, and our state based in Indonesia. It's in Tibet, California. We don't have a PPO. Anybody? because we did it locally, because ground farm friends, it became highly variable based on what home climate meant for emissions, as well as the excursion force. So within Minnesota, water use has been generally increasing from the second to the 23rd century, but the 21st century, it has been on a declining trend. So Minnesota's global water consumption has declined for a few years by about 2.7%. And I want to caveat with that is that a discriminatory event decline is from the number of generations that are not considered to be used. So that's people who pull water out of the river, who use it for cooling to generate steam to turn turbines, and then most of that ants return. So it's largely not considered to be used. And then there are some categories that are increasing. For example, irrigation by your multiple lands increase grass to the length. But even within the state, it's pretty large, right? It's very, very varied. And the study illustrates that the DNR has a network of monitoring wells throughout the state to keep track of groundwater levels. What this figure is showing is the percent of the groundwater that's flooded at those monitoring wells, as well as within each subregion, the percentage that are showing a declining trend. What we find is that in the south central, of course, and western areas of the state, an event or province that are only single-well, which might be a world trend downwards. And then another point, actually, an increasing trend. And this is two points out of the last 20 years, 2020-2025. Cool game. What else do we have? The power of usage trends. It's a great nation. It's been at us through 50-upper trend. of course, a lot of usage. And this is part of the reason we're trying to use it within the metro area. It's already declining, beginning in the early 2000s. Things can be of increased height upwards during the dry conditions in 2021-2023. What folks need to do is increase the angle of usage for a lot of our residents. So our supply in the Twin Cities is derived from, for example, in person. The most heavily used is moving through New Jersey. We're going to model her. We're going to develop a very long field from our funding in Epic County Pelt. Since the group field is set in Pelt, we're going to design for it. The color is the theme on the side of it, but we're going to change the name. We're going to keep her on for enough silver to recharge. We're going to get the mid-phase milk. They did a reversal in the last 1940s. At that time, most of the use of lime was from surface. Now it's obviously applied to groundwater. Thirty-five percent of the use of water in the Pacific had to be in the water metro area. The three communities that are using water, again, from water source, there's a question of freight and also the fleet, too. And I don't generally, I'm putting just a lot of text on my presentations, but this from the most left-hand side of the very succinctly some points that as far as these kids working in the city is replenished more easily from groundwater reviews, more pollution also traveled more quickly to rivers in these parts. Those waters will travel more quickly to or to new weather conditions in drought than all rivers do. So just as they recharge more quickly, the inverse is also free surface water to be drawn more quickly to drought conditions. So I'm going to keep zooming in here on the level of detail, focusing in on what we're talking about as far as what is now specific to the county. What we're seeing here is, as you can see, we've got a lot of results of the county. We've got an outbreak really here in Tonka. And it's narrowing. It's not in the south part of the county. It's not in the south part of the county. And if you add your contours, though, you're very interested in Jordan Waterfront. So a lot of the waterfront is raised further west of us. And then it decreases over this. So it's actually a flow of groundwater. And it's from west to east. And it's a pretty good place for lines. And it's interesting that being asked that, a lot of people, in terms of folks who fly south, are very interested in Jordan. So the bottom of the pool, the hires will run out last. Your hires will run out first, except for two. Okay. If we're looking now at these, we'll localize by part grants. This is part of the interest we need to delve into actually. So this is the, and I'm not going to go over its order, but all the wells in the area, it's the eight-hour well that has the longest record of this group of eight-hour wells. And that report gave us the quality ground water levels from 1945 to point to 10 or so, and it's falling to the side of a burst, and it's standing at, say, a substantial blue crease in water levels. And it's moving from both the transward and the outside of the bottom first. A couple of things that could be responsible for this. Number one would be increased precipitation. That would increase recharge. Number two, there would be reductions in loading and more efficient forward usage by public water suppliers. So what I'm interested in is that. is actually, instead of decreasing, even as the population of the metro area is decreased, there's more and there's more of a solution. I would wish we could at least do this. one of the things we're going to try to do is add a level. So if we can do six mile radius of this mothering load, this is the annual per minute ground water that's cooled off, we'll end up with the interval range that we see that we can decline from the consumption. And we're working on our mothering load. This is at the East Dairy Lake road cluster. So we're here at just the first three of us in terms of yard work. Here you don't see as much of a decline. You see that same flow setting increase we did in about 2010 here. And now I want to get into, we're going to do a little play here, which was a long, long data for currency notes. But I'm going to interpret this data. This is the F2R. So higher on the trend, I think it's a lower R button. So there are two different bands here, because one is water level, where the weather is hot, and the other is when the weather is pumping. So, when the melt switch is on, it creates, maybe, what's known as a power depression, with a, you know, firm, so essentially a localized region for water levels. And that's reflected in this data. And you can see where the melt switch is off, the water level, relative to the sweat flow returns to its previous point. And it's within the last five years has more wells, more level of transit in relative matters. Now, if I look to, like you can do for wells, I think the eighth is about six within the bridge, which is more number. And the well seven is within the well five number. Here you can see a line at more levels number two to level three. And then we're covering back to the previous point by 25. that I've summarized, at least until tonight. So if you want to follow up on that, please. And whether any water source is sustainable is a rather complicated question. Groundwater in the Twin Cities would be provided that we use it properly and manage it sustainably and appropriately. So the reform has also done a remodel, and in essence, trying to predict what our flow will be over the future. And it's probably going to be something that is currently going to continue in more visual water usage. And what do we expect to recover? We probably, as we increase, we expect to see a presumption of a decline in water levels. We'll produce an on-site well first. So that can be a compromise with interest, coordinating with regulators, the other groundwater community users, and, for instance, it would be viable if we want to, effectively, instead of the used groundwater, I'm not sure. With the extent of the growth of the affordable, is there a lot of agreement area yet to be developed over the long-term, or is there anything we can do to develop the most of the potential of this new business? The assets are quite large. And it's not as well as possible for the factory as well. I think perhaps in the areas of this, there's an example of a message that needs to be sent out. Not just that, but it needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. It needs to be sent out. Yeah. Not that I know of. Let me go back up next here. So all of the marine communities are ones that rely entirely on surface water. And the yellow ones are the ones that use a mix of surface and groundwater. As far as I know, it's not really that I didn't think of it. You said it comes from sort of the stream or the water. We know that when they started doing more ethanol production, that affected water levels. And there was controversy about what there was going to be in the water levels. And that was that same article from it. When they do environmental impact studies for data centers and things like that, does their region get a chance to reenter towards just a favorable bullet in the water supply strategy? That is a fantastic question. I don't know if that's the answer off the top of my head. But I would say that it's, with this, if you don't refer to those cases, it would be considered as part of that environmental review and assessment. And also a lot of these cases, so part of the issue can be that the rate of pumping is high enough that the rates on large have a higher compression index in comparison to other global wells in the area. And it's not necessarily a matter of the old version, where you drive around the program itself, or use the old line theory of destruction, but that's always the case in the old. Thank you. And I just have a question. Can I ask you a question? There might be a wide range of decisions we make. Yeah, that's all right. I'm going to follow up, and then just further things with just Any other questions? Thank you very much. We appreciate all the information. Next, we're going to switch over to the conversation about social media governance. Thank you. We're looking at Sanford, you know, during us to have this conversation. And so I'm just going to gather some of the information you've got in your memo. You can review that. Mark. I'm going to do moving forward. So that's your review. The city has four main social media platforms that we use and have followers. Facebook is obviously the most robust. And then Instagram, like, and YouTube. We have other divisions that use these channels as well. So both Facebook and Instagram have accounts for Woodland Nature Center and the Farmer's Market. So Phoebe has Facebook accounts as well. But obviously Facebook has more content for people that are growing in other areas. So our view, everyone is treated differently than private accounts. So when we have a Facebook account, we have to treat comments in our posts differently than private accounts. So for our personal crowd, I'm sure there's no space like that. Essentially, when we post something on our account, we are setting up a limited public forum. That means it's something kind of like an informative meeting, right? We, as a government, we have a post. We're putting our information out there where many people comment. And so those comments space is treated like it would be kind of a public forum. We do have to meet all the considerations of free speech for certain. The moderation of comments is really limited, and has to be viewpoint-neutral, and it has to be very easy-to-understand. So our existing social media policy was substantially updated in 2024, and the reason we've decided to keep it on is because of social media. The one it says is that city staff will not edit any posted comments or shared comments based on comments or viewpoints with a few exceptions. And the exceptions are kind of highlighted here. So defamation, which is actually a little more narrow than it seems, obscenity, illegal discrimination, and promotion of illegal activity, and duplicate comments may help. So what we do is we have a profanity filter that's embedded in Facebook that is consistently applied across the most comments. We review comments that are hidden. We will unhide them if they were wrongly hidden. We'll use one-way channels to share stuff that we know are going to be hot topics, specifically DEI content. And we'll find some of our proclamations. I don't know what the word for it is for it. You know, when we do, like, five months or every American year, teach a lot of things like that, we sometimes use our 1-1-2. And also, if we think about controlling and controlling behavior, We're working to build our audiences on other platforms as well, right? So we're trying to build up that Instagram account, build up our channel recap, our email newsletters. We're unique. A lot of cities don't do email newsletters anymore as much as we do. We have a bigger audience there. So that's something that we're trying to lean on more. And obviously use a lot of different departments as well. And then there are ways to kind of work against the algorithm, right? If we have something that we know we want to put out, but we don't necessarily want it to, like, explode and drown all sorts of folks from outside our regular units, there's things you can do to help the person. for us to get graphics, just pictures. Yeah. Yeah. So, like, stop imagery or, you know, like, a particular color. That's not a big thing. Just something that's graphic design. I don't know. I actually want you to stay on the platform, especially Facebook. So Facebook does not link anything with a link. You know, they prioritize video content. or, like, photo something that you're going to be, like, clicking a lot on it. That's kind of what they push to, like, elevate in terms of what it's shown to be or not to show to our students. So this is kind of just a general summary of the table that we set in the memo. I didn't put everything in here, because I know we have time frame to go through. So I think, you know, the money we're talking about this is kind of the forum that we hope to see in our community. Obviously, if there's no comments, you know, we'll limit it to that opportunity for people to just do the local arts and content out there that, you know, the community will see. The missed opportunity there, the low comments, is kind of been self-policing into it to happen, especially in Richfield. If something goes up and people start even jumping, jumping on the bandwagon, I feel like our community, it's really hard for me to see how fast people come in and say, like, that's not how we do things in Richfield. That's not what, that's not what this community is for. That's not how this community feels as a whole. So the low comments, you know, has been an opportunity. communication and information sharing. Obviously, without comments, then I think we can do that kind of one-way communication, but it does limit us in our ability to respond, especially to misinformation or to clarify things, meaning it reduces our perception of transparency of the government. I think it's really signaling that this isn't a space for you to give us feedback or to, you know, to tell you something or to offer critique. And then you kind of more, just from a logistical standpoint, you can't run ads or use Facebook events if you turn off comments because that portion of the platform doesn't allow you to disable comments. They're just automatic. Engagement. Again, one way of communication is that engagement. So if there are any pros to doing it in light of engagement, the cons, it's... That's one popular way that we get information from our community. We know that the Facebook audience It's not a sample of Ritz-Carlton. It's not a true sample. It doesn't show us what our community thinks a good survey would. But it is what we hear from a lot of people. And it's our biggest challenge. It is even also kind of like silence fans on other content. So for instance, the farmer's market has a lot of new people on their platform, people asking about what's fresh this week. What's my favorite vendor? And things like that. Same for PD. They have quite a few supporters and people who encourage them on their channel. And then also, I think, removing comments that's another barrier for people getting the information they need. I think, you know, if somebody really needs an answer, they will find a way to get in touch with the city and ask. But for people who are just kind of wondering about something or maybe need a clarifying, you know, piece of information, they might not take that next step to call the city or send an email. Or on the website, dig around for the answers. I would just also add that we are coming up on a lot of plans and planning that's going to be happening with the PARPS plan, strategic plan, things like that. And so we will be needing engaging tools to address OK. Yeah. So you're going to sign up for a check on that page. And you're going to read this. And it's going farther than I'm thinking. I don't want to comment. You don't want to see me stop talking. I don't want to see you stop talking. I don't want to see you stop talking. It's your personal page. You have your personal page. You can write down how you want your page. But I don't think it is so easy. So we're certainly doing that. I mean, sadly, if I can follow up, I would get emails from people looking for police and community page. And I've had to find out that it's a private page. But we do not have any jurisdictional rules for the community page. And it's good to clarify that, because that's similar to what we're having now. Yeah. It's a group, right? And so we're not setting up that group. You don't have the capacity to moderate it and respond to all the questions. You guys do your best to kind of get in there and clarify it. But yeah, it's not this easy to do. You were correct. Just in line with core values, when it comes to equity and being equitable, we could reduce offensive comments by turning off comments, not giving that opportunity for people. But some of the vital stuff that we've seen On the other hand, I see it's really, it could be a barrier for people that can't access local government the way that others can, right? People who can't come to the meeting, maybe don't have the capacity to call and ask a question, things like that. The response, if it makes it part of the goal for us to respond to questions and concerns in the community center, it could be, again, perceived as kind of muting the questions. We don't want your input, so we don't have the opportunity here on this platform. And instead of workload, it would reduce some time that we spend doing these posts. It reduces the emotional labor of sifting through a bunch of stuff when things get ugly. But on the other hand, you can't turn off comments. It's just quite painful. So when it comes to Facebook, you have to post. You have to do it on the schedule ahead. You have to post your info and then disable the comments right after that. So it really makes it difficult to schedule things ahead. And there have been cases in other cities where people forget to disable those comments. And once they're up, they're up. So you can't, if another one person comments and you see it, you can't go shut them down. So that kind of inconsistency, I think, is confusing for the community, too. Without comments, again, we'd want to fill that void somehow. So I feel like that would be a big ask of staff. And then our budget is to try and figure out, what are we going to do if we're not using our subspeed of platforms and comments? And the same thing with events. staff, we have staff with these on, our staff that are contributors to social media and overall make sure all of a sudden they see them on, they see the benefits that come with them, as well as, you know, the hard parts of it. And let's, Karina can just be close to this photo of our staff at Woody Retreat, and it got a lot of comments on both ends of syndrome, and indicated kind of the thing we had to manage for Biden. Our recommendation is to keep them on. We see, you know, we struggle with this. It's something in this space that heroin communicators are talking about a lot. And so we keep up with best practices. We're always looking for strategies to try and figure out a way to combat trolling, especially, right, when people from outside of our wing and our audience come in and start, like, say, stirring the pot. But again, we haven't been allowing them on the post at first. Yes. Let's see. Oops. I have a hard slide. I just had some discussion questions for us. If you're open to them or anything for me. Excuse me. Excuse me. I just used my left slide. That's OK. Yes. Okay. First of all, thank you for gathering all of the information, because this was in response to members of the committee that said we're not liking the vital things that are being put out there and negative things that they wanted us to close the evidence down. And so, we'll have to look at the policy, and I'm glad to have her thank you for your input, which you had to say. So, we'll open it up for questions right now. Do you want us to go one at a time through these questions, or? Yeah, I mean, I guess I would like to hear from you if what you've heard from community and, like, kind of, like, what your end goal would be in our community, and if that's something you still want to do. I think the majority of what occurs in the community page. The majority of what occurs in the community page. But it's, I think that it's important to do this also. I don't think people understand this. I don't think people understand this. I was down in the first town. I don't know. Well, about a year ago, or after we put out some articles, there was a fair amount of evidence that I think you would split the policy at that point. And then it came up again more recently. And it had to do with, for example, racist comments that were made. And people again said, why don't you shut it off? Because other cities were shutting it off. So my question to you is, do you know why any of those other cities decided to go out for comments? Was there a reason for getting fed up? I think so. So Golden Valley has recently shut them off, and they pinned a post to the top of their page that said it was more, they were relating it more to kind of like finances, and are trying to archive their posts and kind of keep up with them, snap time dedicated to that. I think a lot of what's happened in the last six months was in response to all the ICE-related You know, unfortunately, that was not happening in the Ventura area. So I know Columbia Heights, I think, turned theirs off. Valley, who we attended years ago, and Rochester as well. Other comments, questions? The first one about if it's good people that you're in. Oh, there's one on there somewhere. but I didn't do it with the right ones, too. But my interest is in 13.1, because we have, like, people who post straight-up spurs. How many is that? Does that make more sense, or what? I mean, I think the profanity filter would catch that. It's a pretty broad profanity filter, and so we're more times than not hiding things that the filter hides. So they would catch things in there. And we're looking to go with that, because we're going to use these. That's a good framework, too. I will say that we're still in contact with this concern. All the feedback, I really appreciate the staff from other states being like, why are you guys wasting time for comments and comments and negative comments? We'll take those students off. But it's kind of, it's too nice to manage your time. So I'm getting this one, but I guess it's for you. I will say, I'm going to cut back on it a little bit. In the city, what is going to go on? And if in a way, shall we use the public input from this in a process that we're calling it in the middle? we get all those details out about all the public input that happens in those open houses. And it's all about what went through the official form, or what people submitted, or what conversations I've never seen, or what dissenters that should be in the comments. So I think the only example of this, that which would benefit, and if it is a benefit, then we should probably be summarizing it or putting it into the actual process of reviewing some of these. I mean, we used a lot of the local sales tax, right, just to clarify questions and kind of as a little bit of a test for what are people confused about, right? Where are they confused? What are they not understanding? They're not understanding that it's a local sales tax, not a property tax. So I think those pieces of information are really valuable. They're not something that we, you know, the non-objective feedback that we can measure. I don't want to write it necessarily, but it's kind of at the center of the sentiment. And I must say, it's hard for people to understand. It's a good question. And I think the reason I have turned them off, I think, seems like, OK, this is most of the time, there are overruled comments, unspecified comments, hurtful comments. And so turning it off, in some ways, It's like, OK, the interviews sound good, but everything doesn't. And I really appreciate how you approach this and have conversations with yourself. Because it's not just community members. It's not just council members and staff, too. that virtually call them in such a way as tough. But also, the negative comments that the actors have as well. But all of our staff still sat. They did not even feel like turning off the cameras or being monumental. So that's just one. So just, you know, just basically the best way of seeing our messaging out better, because as we work through community, what people are understanding, and what more and more details that we can provide, it will be simple. I wish we had a few general questions. You know, something that I've been very concerned. But I'll therefore counsel on that area, thanks to my attention. And I ran into Sam, we talked about it at leadership team meetings. We are watching and enjoying, you know, when things really gain momentum on their wheels, we will react to our conversations at this point. It might not be as formal as you're suggesting with these issues. Thank you. Oh, good. I see. I was going to say, would being curious as to how would being gathering, who would be put on the covering on some of the parameters, which is one of those things And I think we know a lot about, I think, pointing people to the platforms that our consultants are going to look, right? And say, hey, what's your comments there? But a lot of times, people don't want to click, right? Or they want to tell you about the trash cans that are full, and Oxford Park, and the bullion, or about the weeds, that rich new thing. And so, again, it's just information we can gather. We can answer those one-off questions. And, again, we remind ourselves all the time, this is not the universe, right? This is not a representative sample of Richfield. We have a lot of followers who don't even live in Richfield, live nearby, or keeping tabs on what the city is doing. But it's just another data frame that we can use. And this is our biggest audience. is the information that was needed for me was that you could want to do events or ads. Most of the things that you showed the comments on, you know, indeed, that could have been similar, like a balancing act. So if there are things you can do to reduce the number of trolls from putting the links or doing those things, to me, that would be helpful because I think most of the stuff that's objectionable is that kind of thing from an original data It seems like there's, like, both potential synergies. H, H, F. Well, that's, you know, topics. For example, a friend of mine had a post from last year, from 2025, that really blew up. This year, we did do a post, right? Right after that, in the recap, we can put that on the website. We can put another place to share that information that isn't inviting everybody in the Facebook community to come check in on it. If we're putting it on Instagram, right, we have a lot less polling that happens on Instagram. It could still happen, but that audience isn't and it's accessible to teachers like that. So that's something we talk about with all of these on-topic issues. A conversation about which channel are we going to use to share this information? What can we expect to come back as engineering staff to associate with a staff profile or something like that? It does trouble me that we're having to self-censor and not go six feet too far in order to be as close as possible. And it's used in that outcome. On the other hand, if you have harm reduction, it's going to be posted on Instagram or LinkedIn. So I'm just trying to weigh out what's the least amount of harm. Well, that's what we're doing, too, right? Trying to, again, try to push people to those other platforms. Like, sign up for the recap. Get that email every week. And you can scan through it and see what the city is doing. Oh, is that Facebook? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Excuse me. When I think of the Facebook community pages, does it seem like there's moderators for those pages? Okay. But do you see trends or do you only pay attention to trends as far as? And there's like a core group of people that always comment on this, and they're always getting back to people. And, you know, sometimes people will comment on other people. Maybe they have a question. Sometimes other people will get online and say, well, have you tried this or that? And they give advice on the computer page, or I just see a trend of... or group of people that are following the city. Yeah. We have our regular commenters. We have these people that are regular. Yeah. We're based with the city or the regular topics that they like to bring up. But yeah, any help, maybe, however those work, right? The more you follow the city, the more of those posts you look at, the more that algorithm knows that it's going to like post more of our posts too. And so, yeah. But at the same time, some of the complaints that people are complaining about, some of the things that people are complaining about, it would be weaker, too, and it would help you disappear out of it away. They'll move on to other issues. Sounds like people are saying we should continue what we're doing. I am troubled by the fact that we didn't. self-censored because of the comments and things. So if we can find ways to still speak the message out, whether we have one to do it or something, that would be good. I don't want to have loneliness. I mean, I got some self-censored, so that's not good either. But do we get them? And if we're getting them, we have nothing to do with the story. A lot of our things are self-censored. We have self-censored. We don't have to do anything. We don't have to do anything. Or do you keep it out of the way? So you're telling me that we work as a group, but we don't have a role. We may have to do some things ourselves. I don't like the hate speech and that stuff. I don't like it when people stop saying stuff that, in effect, only they want to be substance abuse. That bothers me a lot. Thank you. And that's all the buttons in the national paper since we mentioned it in the beginning. And I'm going to just wait for our students to come in for a second. I'm going to let her introduce herself. I'm going to let her introduce herself. All right. Thank you. Thanks, Paul. Paul, today we're going to talk about the natural resources management plan. We have the draft for that plan. And we're looking for feedback on the goals for the various parts as part of this. We want to take the more finalized version, but we'll put it up for public comment as well, so that residents who are interested can give feedback on it as well, and then we'll make some changes. Today, we have two of those folks. Paul Smith-Simmons here. He is the head of the Natural Resources Headquarters at Woodland. And he's been working with Director Greening. We have the YouTube director, Ben Beattie. I remember reading that we had a contract admitted to, right, between the U.S. Petrobras, and they're glad to introduce your organization. Yeah, so first off, I want to thank you for having us here. I'm really excited to talk with you, talk to you about some of the stuff that I've been seeing with Azure Research Management Cloud, as well as I'm excited to just be working with you all in general. It's been a fantastic couple years to be able to do this and manage around in one link, as well as into one of these Azure Research Management So my name is Becky Tucker. I've been with River Green for nine years at this point. We are a now 30-year-old townhouse organization based in St. Paul doing work now across the state for facilitating habitat management, some invasive species removal, native species establishment, generally from the grants to any of the properties that we work on. So working with the city of Ridgefield is a pretty good example, especially of what we do in the metro, working with a lot of a pool of landowners, everything from large counties that have full natural resource management staff who might not have the capacity or funding to be able to do this kind of management work, all the way down to, down is the wrong word, all the way to the other end of the staffing and funding spectrum to working with school districts that might not have a parks department at all, clearly they might have a management person and grounds that they want to do turf to break and break on. We also work with examples of cities that might have just a public works department that needs the external kind of guidance from, in this case, us as the nonprofit to facilitate work that we can either get started by having public grants written on our end for the work itself, facilitating that work, acting as a managers of that work to be able to add capacity to the public landowners. So we are pretty much throughout the state. I manage the mentor program we have for a pilot. 30-ish active projects within the metro, maybe another graduate intern for kind of our core team, but we're also working with the rest of our organization to partner So one of the big pieces of our organization is we have that practical activity with the work that we are planning in this space as well as managing to advocate for the cities, for the districts, the counties, the people that use these parks being directly connected to the park. And then brings us to where we are with working with Fresh Fruit itself. Do you want to give me a follow-up on that? Yeah. Okay. So I want to start off with, we'll go a little bit over what is natural resources and why we're doing it, what it looks like, and then we get into each specific part, and that's what we're doing. But the purposes of those parks are the balance of recreation versus the logic of the use of those parks. And each park is different. Each park has different goals. And that's where your policy figures come into some of the buttons. You can actually decide the things. So this will be another policy planning document. It'll identify our goals. It'll set different goals for different parks and balance of those two things. It's also an inventory of current resources. So what do we have now? What does it look like now? So when we start doing work, we'll know when we're going to change what we are supposed to do. And then it identifies a path forward and creates a general channel cost outline for what these are, which will be super helpful as we're doing safety planning and other things. will be further funded as well. The other question is, why are we doing one because we've never had one before? And the reason we're doing it is we have over 300 acres of natural areas. We have their minimal needs sort of minimally and inconsistently maintained. They have a lot of greedy species. They have a lot of invasive species. These are areas that people love and want to improve in the capacity or in the plan to take these out. And to get grants and to partner with other organizations, we need a plan to know where we're going in order to get the grant. So those are the goals for halfway through this plan. So we're starting to put in, we're going to start with four parts. We'll start with Love Lake, which sort of already had a plan, but this will solidify it. Brisbane Lake, which is a much more recreational space, but we're closing it. Veterans Park and Taft Park for Speed. So these are our larger natural areas. as we get further into this we may add addendums to expand it so there are smaller natural areas throughout the park system that would be great to be able to manage those as well right now we figured as a starting point focusing on the larger ones is the week so the structure of the natural resources plan is we'll have for each park global park overview a vegetation assessment find objectives, both preparation and ecological objectives. And then we'll define the management areas and the phasing and process that go along with those. So now I'll turn it over to Bektu to talk a little bit about what the work is going to look like. Yeah, so we have been working with the city directly on this plan for the last roughly a year to specifically kind of focus on the needs of the city as well as the needs of the individual parks to kind of build out what this plan needs to be rewritten. multiple plans, and every plan is different depending on the type of park, but also the capacity of the landowners for future maintenance, the interests of the landowners to be able to have incredibly detailed information in specific pieces of the potential plan ID, whether it be for soils or levels of detail that some other line owners may or may not want or need, depending on, again, the plants themselves. So we have a sample plan for your view on this screen that kind of takes an example of an area within a park to say, okay, what is this plant actually doing? showing the pattern a little bit of the current species so in this case a moody forest a lot of areas in the entire metro area is sharply enough invaded by species moody species buckthorn this plan would highlight that same area of wood lake as buckthorn presently we then did propose looking at that current vegetation as well as the needs and the investment of the landowner to the future potential action steps as well as the potential timeline for those actions and so on. So in this case, initial water industry invasions may seem to be a full year due for continued control, recognizing that this is a long-term process, not only in the land zone but also as a community. future of the site and then continued year two to five enhancing canopy and understory diversity all of which again is framed and built by the long-term goal in this example of oceanic habitat for life as well as water quality impact so this is again the biggest example everything during the century. The lake itself can be facilitating the diversification of ground layer species to be able to have better water filtration, better nutrient use on the surface of the forest to prevent it from running off in the lake, as well as benefits to the surrounding wildlife, benefits as well to the patrons of the park. It's a diversity of species, diversity of plants, and just the general being of a park. Thank you. So kind of the next stage after that is to say we've looked at the current states of the specific national areas in these parts. We've developed a broad guideline of possible and home routes of here's a problem, here's a potential solution, here's now the exciting, the fun part, the costs of those potential actions. And we will be working through a series of finer details after the meeting today is just with the city to prioritize these things. It's every step. But you need other steps. So I'm saying if an actual 100% very diversified space is available for these eight acres, what does that actually mean in proposed tasks? They're associated proposed costs. And the timeline is simple. But now a lot of these are. and that they're meant to be a flexible structure for the work itself, recognizing that when something happens in year one, when work exactly is perfectly planned and then we can move to the steps proposed in year two or three. Maybe it doesn't work and we need to take a different track. So there's a lot of attempted flexibility that we've built into budgets of the plan itself, and they have that kind of, if we see this happening, we'll use a different proposed system that we already potentially anticipated to be able to be resilient in what we're actually seeing with the plan itself. So I have a question. It is a more convenient budget season. Is it being taken to our current budget? Or are we talking a year out from now? Or are we stepping back from the budget? Yeah. Yes, it is being taken to a year out from now. So we haven't commented yet. But we will participate in your plans. But as we're developing this, we're going to be identifying grants we're looking for. Or if we are allocating some, here's your fund's choices for the new year. Do you have plans for students who are falling for it? When we do an actual assessment now, we use some of the certain values that we were last playing. Is there any way for us to understand the questions like new cost versus, let's say, existing and formal structures? Yeah. I think most of this is going to be new cost, because most of what we do now I think that's pretty simple. We only do things for it if we're able to increase that from across the trail or outside where it comes into view. I mean, I've arrived at one country where we've opened a task park, and I think it's very convenient to go out and do that, as far as I'm aware of. And then basically, I also need those for architectures. I have a question. Now, when you're looking at the multiple cost summary, is that inclusive for all of the parts that you work with? Or is there a breakdown for each individual? So we would have one of these for each part. And they will also be broken down. There's sort of other definite factors. Each work area will also be broken down so that we can use all those. And that's kind of what I was going to say, too, is part of this is it's guided as best as we can on the front end by the priorities, by the future plans, by the exciting history of what there might be at conference lab under this space, and we can't probably plant trees in it. So it's less of a... We currently sell a number that is one number for everything, but more of a, hopefully, of a range of potentials that the city is then able to prioritize and maybe give a timeline to that's not every priority has year one start in 2027. Maybe it's this sense. depending on how that works with the priorities of the program as the plan and priorities of each individual partnership. And our goal is that we can take this program and grant it for branding or other organizations to apply for state money. One of the things that's on the state money out there for is natural resources and rehabilitation. Hennepin County is also introduced to be doing more work in the New Zealand Dribble. We're in the east. And they have a lot of research that they can work together to assist us in these things that we do. So once we have the number that's not all money in the room, that's not how you can use it or assist the system, it's something we can take and apply to other things and other resources that might come into play. So about two years ago, I think, too, that there's an extent of scalability that can be taken from these budgets as well. So if we included something like passenger removal at a park, but the area that we recommended is then it's maybe not needed or not as urgent based on the curves moving to the trail, for example, that could then be a task that's chosen collectively to be kind of on hold until later. Or even in terms of like planting native sediment trees, we would define an acreage that's recommended. However, if that is taken into these chunks that are a little bit smaller, there is the I think you'll see an ability with a lot of these classes. Yeah, and the other thing, the other two things that this natural resource management plan will come with that we have kind of been guided towards for the years working with different partners is not only the current site assessment potential plans, potential timelines with budgets, but also we have built up a lot of very good resources over the years to be able to then give back to partners that we're working with. In this case, it's part of this natural resource management plan for getting the instructions on what we've recommended and the actions. So in this case, basic species removal methods, potential timelines, and protocols that can be used when developing a contract with the next resource. contractor to be able to do the work itself, to be able to then kind of remove that barrier from someone's work, to be able to actually have them instead of just proposing, these species, what are your goal? What does that mean? So the species are providing those kinds of procedures, as well as next steps specifically potential seed mixes depending on the areas of parks that we've worked with as highlights so that again is one less step that the city will need to take on without any input of you know through there's all kinds of potential adjustments for scalability again putting on budget but that kind of more will be included as an appendix in the And that is our plan to handle it and get more than we're allowed to do for most things that we actually do. So when you're doing the assessment of all of these cars now, and then you put in the budgetary I don't know, just get those charts or whatever. You're not going to be starting for another year or whatever. We do want to get value and reassess. And maybe, of course, members here in New York change? Do you foresee it being changed? I'd love to say no, but the answer is definitely yes. It's a guideline for that particular action that is based on our understanding of current costs, current costs of different techniques as well as different This is the wrong word, but times of different bidding potentials on these contractors themselves. We also had the exciting introduction of prevailing wage on state-funded resource management work, which He has attempted to give us a lawyer range of possible budgets that we're going to be putting into documents such as this to not, like, potentially account for inflation, crisis in need over time, but also, with some of those, something more unexpected, other change potentials to be able to give you the anticipation. we'll be able to just, knowing that everything in a contract is written, that's a proposed plan, specifics of that, we'll get to talk about in this session. Do you have the priorities to shift from one company to another company at that point? Yeah. Great. That is the follow-up to Sharon's question, too. The core scope of work is that the contractor, we have one of the highlights of the board agreement. And as part of that service, their work and everyone else's work is in the plate. And this is on the core board as well. So as soon as their work ends, we will have been done with this. We'll, unfortunately, adjust the stuff as we put it in the CIP. And I think you're telling me that makes sense. We have working on the plate. We have some really wide range of bids on work that has happened. So hopefully, again, this year, that our estimates of what they could use, we'd love to see. And as it's now time of year, and there are a lot of new projects going on, and a lot of people's work on the issue, the exception for the major work is that we'll leave it up to some of our contractors to see if it's working internally. But, of course, we'd love to see what we can do. And there, what can also be done, of course, on this. And then, who are we looking for? find the appendices really helpful with all of that information, because those are the kind of questions that we get. So it would be helpful to be able to point to somebody to this document and say, yes, some professionals have looked at this that have the background and know how to do things. And we've been incredibly excited to be working with Manitoba County, I don't see the acronym wrong. There's so many there so far. The Manitoba County Natural Resource Partnership Coalition group of public basically, as we've all received questions, that we're all trying to do is kind of hear other things, and we share information between each other to have these resources exist. And some of the agencies, you know, that will be included here are exactly the kind of material of protocols for contractors. Everything needs to be, you know, prepped and ready before including an explicit contract, but that is then the ability to have that resource to be able to move forward with it. So we're excited to include all of that too, more than just a plan that's coming in. Do you have any questions before we move on? So we did two pictures. So just these were two things that might have consequences where they go up around a dirt area to a native prairie and to some pretty hard projects. So this is a visualization. So we'll go through each part, do a quick pertinent review, show the vegetation assessment, and then we'll talk through the quality of the work. So Cerro Albuquerque, I think, is an alphabetical word or something. I don't know if you'll think. 24 acres. We'll buy a loop. We'll dig these trails. We'll have about three acres of upland, but a lot of the park is dry. And then we have a, it's connected to downtown. And there's a neighborhood park in the northwest corner as well that has a playground and a basketball court. And seriously, it's a neighborhood park. The plant communities, we have woodlands on the grass, it's a playground area. We have hurricane type stuff. They've been walking trails, additional land, open water, and then woodland spaces too. And I guess as we're looking at this, this plant doesn't cover the water, so like anything happening, The other thing that we're looking at is the islands are fairly inaccessible, and there can be some working up in here, but some of them are really an option for us. It would be because there's no momentum to do anything. All right. So currently, we have our management objectives, and this is a little bit different from what we're used to. And maintaining views after this. Currently, it builds up on the escape path, but you can walk through and show where those views are. The stabilized shoreline. And that would be sort of the trail to keep up. A solid trail. There's work in the park that we don't have to update or redo consistently. Develop shade and canopy. And kind of protect the stormwater infrastructure. Manage the decent packs. movement basis with seeds that encourage native plants so two pictures here in the top one is what we're currently doing to open the new seeds up we can widen those a little bit too and then we'll be looking for plant seeds that would go in there to help prevent them from coming out and then the lower picture is on the southeast corner there are some small bones But they've grown up where they were told to walk back and they survived. And they created areas where they do shade out the understory to keep them from seeing their weaknesses. So with that, I'll move on to questions. Sure. I guess I will just say, I'm sure you're aware of this, but there are all these diverse negative feedback about the amount of vegetation that there should be today. And if there were one person that said, no, you don't know all this because you're a student at this school, something's not right. We're going to have to talk with this guy. But that said, everything else is indicative. We really want to see the water here. And obviously, I'd be interested in what's potentially feasible in a plane. You all have experts that are going to tell us what's going to reduce right now. But I would say, from an aesthetic and park experience perspective, as a major open world review, as we could possibly do, is to say, we're almost at an independent platform, too. And I think particularly given the fact that this is a fully accessible, senior-friendly, small-nope lake, and the fact that we have woodland, which is still a really much more natural, which is across 66th Street, will be a little bit more towards Medicare for Care, in the sense that it's meaningful and it's desirable. That's great feedback. That is why we have community that uses the top lane. And we can do it that way. And maybe it puts more emphasis on the community. Can I ask a question? I think it's a good question. If you was arguing for a team meeting, what's our commitment? And then, right off the bat, how do we go through? I was just in here in the imagery, and it does feel like we had driven to each other on, like, a 20-foot fence. And, you know, I don't know if you heard me do that. I don't know if you heard me. So just in terms of like widening the ability, the view from a lot of these veggies in particular, I guess I'll mention that around, if you would see that top photo, we have a incredibly dense sandbar into your sandbar wall population along the shoreline. And on the inside of the trail, The USGS Army Corps uses interior sandbar willow, has erosion control along the Mississippi. So we've talked a lot about what does the extent of woody removal make sense in terms of solidite stabilization. preventing erosion. And we've been discussing some options. In that lower photo, it gives the opportunity for ground vegetation that's deep-rooted, perennial plants, native soap and pollinator habitat, and slow-lying stabilization. However, with the gap in the canopy, by planting oaks as opposed to having the sandbar willow, it allows for actual visibility through the canopy while still providing shade. And from the sustainability commission meeting, it sounded like the view of the lake was really important, but also the shade can be. It's really important to people. So I think a lot of the focus is targeting areas, large areas of the Santa Barbara Willow for removal on the story, maybe in some of the ground vegetation, but then retaining species that are clearly doing well in the area of the swamp right over there. Yeah, it'd be very difficult to come up with this right at the beginning, so we won't want to. Any other questions here? No, I thought that when Rain River came to our system and the commission needed the votes, well, hold on, but who's standing? How many? How many of us are moving forward? You know, we... And I'd like for you to revisit their consultations. I can't remember where they are going to be every three years or something like that, so that we can keep an eye on it. Who are the first changes that are going to be made? Well, they're kind of at the bottom three. It's essentially at least in parks in general. It's actually at least, you know, at least in San Antonio. And then there's not like 30 of us that grow something that isn't big. Like, you know, as the seniors go, like, maybe three is not a great part. But then they're always going to grow. And there's like a big, like, three-foot tall bush. So it's just being aware that, like, even after the initial project, we're probably not going to find back where we're going to need to turn it off as it goes. Yeah. And maybe you should. And that's the end of your tip for today. What's it about? A lot of the species that we're recommending for planting are not as easy-to-feel in any of these routers like beetles are. But that's a really good thing to know. And this is really good to hear. That's what's happening. So there's a year that we're picking up this wire. We're doing this wiring. And this is going to be fantastic. And I do think in terms of just looking at the year, even if we have full money to do everything, the plan that we've done, I think there are going to be years where things are looking different. So I'm glad to have this plan, but I'm really interested in all these different things. So I do like to think we're at the time where the trees, unfortunately, the trees are, it's not a real thing. So I'm doing science now, specifically With the phrase, first year it sleeps, second year it creeps, third year it leaps. And I love plates. They're small. That was a good one. I think, too, with wood plating and construction and everything. who was more popular with people. And I think a lot of these things are to the surface of what they don't like about it. As you've told us before, I would like to know if there are people who tend to do the trouble virtually more and could be more observant of what's going on. And I think there's going to be problems of people potentially being retorted and stuff like that. But I do agree. I hear far more of what we're talking about than I do about any of the other three lakes. And I think it's good to have a long-term plan like this. And I think maintaining the UCS is important. And stabilizing the shoreline is also important, because otherwise, we end up with huge numbers of problems. So I think this is good. Any other questions people may have in mind? So the next one I have, I have 12 identified routine things called majority of these are abductions, but then some of them are at challenges as well. And then we've marked in the red dots, there's the area where there's a really blind turn with vegetation. And so our goal for that area is to maintain more vegetation so that there's both this and these back. And if we're able to eventually get some conceived lake everywhere on the lake, that would be as well, but that wouldn't be an issue. What is your comment on this? I mean, the lake is most important, especially from the stream. And then the south entrance, I think, should maybe be considered as well. If it really does get a plant, do you have any evidence you would notice that that's just one of your alliances? Yeah, so on the shoreline, primarily, it's a lot of willow species that would be recommended to manage. In the blue unit, or a plant that wouldn't, we have a lot of recommendations for, like, fitting of invasive orchid species. to allow for the key to be to be able to explain a lot of the negatives that are in there. So yeah, that's a great point. When you say you consult, do you mean from 16th Street all the way through to the 18th Street meetings and things like that? We're going to see. I mean, it's obvious that there's a path there. But I do think it's a little way to be in front of the screen. I'll just make it obvious that this is a very short research that's here. And then do you ever see people in 16th? I've never seen 16th. It's like behind gates on the train. Oh, you don't? No. Oh, you don't? Yeah, that is just real, but now it's like, you can get pretty good use of the link there. Let me see this one. I don't know, first of all, I didn't include the link. I think, well, you know, do you remember, for example, where you have a link? All right. Any other thoughts, Andrew, you'd like to? All right, so there's three of them. Right, and so this tag park has 42 acres, 29 are natural area acres that include the lake area that moves the mile of trails. It's regionally trust-connected, so it's something a lot of people see coming into the city. It has the art sports complex that brings in people, and then it's also a neighborhood park. It has an industry park that we've built. So as you can see here, the south side, the north end of the park is actually owned by Matt. It's not a member city, but it's a member city. The south end of the baseball fields is our property, but we managed to north end. As well, one of the areas is Prairie. Area 5 is currently the storage area that's moving, so we're going to have to go pretty largely to that area. It's a very nice walk along the trail, and you see You only need three limits. And then it's used for fishing a lot, too. As we get there, more and more people will be fishing with hand fishing as well. So then our big goals are stabilizing the shorelines, the customer road, and we'll provide shoreline fishing access and spaces. foster nature or forest nature experience so having a forested area there currently there's a large amount of areas we want to transition protect the stormwater infrastructure this is part of Coastal Agent Lake Catholic planning close down into the creek reduce and manage the peace impacts we've seen a few peace impacts currently remove the basins and clean up any problems My favorite one. There's a couple that are important here. When I tried to do that, you said it's just fish from this bio. And I'm afraid for the Sundays that I'm appearing, I'm going to hurt them. But they're the best groups. So it's really unique in that respect. It's also full-length, but you can really pull it out as well. And it's great for a free watch. It's a cool device. So I think we've focused on all the recreational stuff. So it's nice to focus on the natural activities then. All right. Thanks, that would be cool. So then, yeah, I guess these are the top four characters. You can see area three down there. And then area two A currently is a motor field. And area nine before us came to be as a motor field. So we're going to expand it before us. Veterans Memorial Park, 180 acres, two lots of trails, 57 acres of public area, and that's completely empty, all the way through the street. That's a very large park. So our goal for this one is to transition the used mobile areas on the south end of the park into clearing in those areas around the monument. Maintaining a diversity of views, protecting stormwater infrastructure. And I think these are the products which are seen as getting down by the Manitoba area. And other things that are encouraging. There's the Marnie Titan Park. So this one is kind of It's provided in space for the recreation, but it's more balanced. The lake is more focused on maintaining the recreation. The plastic, that's more balanced. And then we'll get to the lake, which is more interesting. So that's what it is. And then the work units are broken up. One thing to mention about this is that as we're looking at it, In the last work session, we talked about the prairie going all the way out on the peninsula. The trees lining the outside, they're kind of encroaching on you now. Since we haven't gone in for the 4th-inch fireworks, they've grown up. Lots of them have grown up in that area a lot. And so it was going to change more to a forested area than to a prairie area because it would be difficult to maintain it. It's the most disparate community. So that's just one change. And then down on the south side, there's an area where we're going to test the business study. And so although it'll be telegraphs per year all through there, you can mow it in the fall so that it's short. This is done at Bridges Feature Site. They do the same thing where they have the telegraphs per year and they mow it. And that's used as a study mower. I have increased it to the extent that I had all the memorials. And it was just like a buffer between having all the analogies. Like, it's like everything around the whole room. This is a little more expensive than I would actually need. I would turn it into an associated area. And then it'd be a little bit bigger of a circle than that. Yeah. Without the neutral on the entire time zone, it's going to be really difficult. This is more expensive, though. And all this other story on trailers, I don't know if it interests you, but I'm going to ask you. I'm going to ask you. I'm going to ask you. I'm going to ask you. I'm going to ask you. I'm going to ask you. I'm going to ask you. And a lot of biodiversity, both aquatic and terrestrial, comes into this universe, and so on. There was a genius in that case. There's eight objectives, which is to be a continuum of 18. Those views were their pitches, along some of the trails, along the waterway, along the stream. We have to maintain those. Full shut, full open. is that we have a set of roofing pools here in certain spaces. And you realize, when you're walking, you notice it's filled in on top of this. And we discussed how this has directly been done with this in the past. The water quality improvements that I know of, as well as restoration of the Asia Center. I'm sorry, balance restoration of the Asia Center. And for space. So it won't tend to address the actual beginning of replication. So I've broken it to the different communities of the footland. Mardi Gras and Ferry, a little bit in the Dane area, and right along Blakesboro Drive. Ferry, which is south end of the park. Hevent, which is the parking lot. It's an additional land. It is just right at the edge of the water, so you can't get up to the water. This will focus on the stretch street pieces being very in the south end, in Savannah, the south end of the Forest Drill. It'll be around the building. I think you pulled it out. It'll be around the building that we do need a planking for, but it's not part of this management plan because all that needs to be established before we come up with it. It's tangential, but just what would, like, initially be a separate infrastructure, what will stay on the engine? Yeah, we're planning to keep the needs that we currently have settled in the building. OK. Is there time to let them slow down? No. Is that OK? Yeah. We're on the end. Yeah. And it's really interesting. It was, like, we were in your walk. So I'm doing this part of the Android walk, and then I'm just, like, timing parking lot. There's, like, a little beginning of activity. And it's also reduced the amount of parking that the nations that are in it might allow us to do bigger things, to use a little bit of data as well. So we could have, like, for Halloween, or Canada Day, so we could have a lot more people to enjoy the space during those bigger events. It hasn't been a problem at all in the new country, but it's also a bit of a problem for the most part of people. And I think the practice game was at the Dale game. It was played in 2019 or before I showed up. But for the long time, I didn't know that it had always been a lock. And it would be open every day. I want to get the most part of people that are not interested in it. That's what you're saying. Our goal is to add signage to those, as well, as we have come to develop some of the matchsticks and features of that. I've been interested in an email from someone or a comment from a case, and I know people are barking at the website and then walking over the bridge to get some features there, too, which I'm interested in. That's all good. That's one part of that. Being familiar with the access to that, really, and using it now. That's really great that we're talking about getting more bridge readouts. That's another reason to have that good, well, works-togethers. You know, there's not a lot of parking readouts. It's not too far away. I just want to say thank you because this was fun for us because this is what we might have been hearing for years. What's our plan? What are we going to do? How are we going to fix it? To me, this is like a storage thing of infrastructure and sustainability. So we're going to turn to some questions. Who do you think should we need from us? I did. I don't know if you can get that one for you, Kevin. I think it's going to be very tight. I mean, I took some notes. I think it's going to be part of this. I think it's going to be very long. I think it's going to be very short-lived. I think, first, it's going to be more inaccurate. I'm sure it's going to be confused with a lot of other things. I'm not sure it's going to be very accurate. We have the most popular field lake. And we love to see lake views from the street. And that's what I wrote in here. Lovely. So if you're fishing there, actually, we're actually talking about a good solution. But I think it's at least that we appreciate the fishing opportunity there. And that's what I really like to think of the show. And best of luck. So it supports the land and the land use center, talking about what those gains are still and the changes that people are using. That's what I got. That's correct. Well, thank you very much. And we're looking to meet our interest in the students. Yeah, and I wasn't sure if this was going to be ready, which we should be ready for. It's been a while since I've seen this. It's been a while since I've seen this. It's been a while since I've seen this. It's been a while since I've seen this. I think there will be more projects in the past that people want to do in the middle of the flood. What I will say is, the NRA still needs to take small moves. But having the applications, and having a plan, and having much support is so much easier. So I don't want to put all of it at the table when I was best in person. They will allow you to make your own decisions. So it's just not really like you're talking to them. You don't move anything. No, I don't. No, I'm not. Oh, I see. Yeah. Oh, there's a reason why you say that. They don't do hard work. They don't do hard work. They don't do hard work. They don't do hard work. They don't do hard work. They don't do hard work. They don't do hard work. They don't do hard work. They don't do hard work. They don't do hard work. I think we're on the right track. I think it's going to be a sure lesson. It's all to you. And I think it's going to be helpful. And actually, it's great. I think it's going to be helpful. I think it's going to be helpful. I think it's going to be helpful. I'm like, I just want to hear from you. So I'm like, I just want to hear from you. So I'm like, I just want to hear from you. I'm like, I just want to hear from you. I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning, sprung out of bed, went down in my room to my house to sleep. I woke up right before it hit me. I was sitting on the floor, and my neighbors saw that I was sleeping. So I woke up, and I had keys, and I had gloves to make sure I didn't knock on his basement, because he had to bring me back home to work. I woke up, and I woke up, and I woke up. So all of these problems need to be annotated, right? All right. So I would expect that I would have one of those checkers. I've had it with a couple of others. But just for the time being, I'm going to do this. So I can do the same thing all the time. That's it. Journey home. Yeah, so now I have like a manual set of readings sitting around this for 40 minutes and then I just sit. I see how we're sitting. Because I got to make it to the house, and we're getting on our phones. Right. So just now we're inside of the station. So we went back to where we came from, and there was no water. You don't need that. But I would have been. And then I couldn't go back to sleep because I didn't know where to hide. So you were hanging out in the apartment. And I couldn't go back to sleep because I didn't know where to hide. And then the other neighbors didn't have the keys. I was waiting for her to go to work. And when I called this guy, I started banging on the door. It was terrible. One last thing, right? One last thing. Would you like me to correct it when I read it, and then you don't need to worry about it? I don't need to worry about it. either a fighter, because that is probably the more clear option. I don't follow up through the form. I took a message that's when he died. Well, it turned out that he had a student with the same name. It wasn't the first night. It was a different person. And I was like, gosh, oh, dear. And I was trying to focus the attention. But at first, I thought it was a bit of a hoax. But there's those things. That's what I'm thinking. I apologize for being on my phone for a long time. I didn't even know this. I'm all trying to be discreet, but in the same whole time. It seemed that you used to get those things if you were overused. OK. And I thought you guys were on the same area. And I was like, oh, I'm crazy. And my team was specifically asking for a patient. And they were never published. OK. So I was wondering why she didn't ask for them. OK. I was thinking I had lost my mind. So I'll send her an email tomorrow. And I'll just have to support her. She didn't ask me to. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Thank you.
