Cra Agenda - Regular Meeting

Nur ein kurzer Hinweis für das Publikum. Wenn Sie sich zu einem Punkt äußern möchten, der nicht auf der Tagesordnung steht, wenden Sie sich bitte an Alexa. Sie wird Ihnen ein Formular zum Ausfüllen geben. Wir werden diese Kommentare am Ende der Sitzung behandeln. Wenn Sie zu einem Punkt sprechen möchten, der nicht auf der Tagesordnung steht, haben Sie dazu die Gelegenheit, wenn wir zu diesem Punkt kommen. Oder Entschuldigung, zu dem Punkt auf der Tagesordnung. Sie können dann darüber sprechen, wenn wir dazu kommen. Zunächst möchte ich einen Antrag auf Genehmigung der Zustimmungsagenda stellen.

Habe ich einen Antrag?

Ich unterstütze den Antrag.

Okay, we have a request for support. Yes. Okay, on to the employee report. Next, we have the employee report, Ms. Vazquez.

Okay, thanks. Let's move on. Next, we have our new agenda item, starting with the application for a design exam for 54 Park Street. Mr. Wiecaster, could you please come forward and tell us a little bit about the project?

We have a building here that was damaged by a hurricane a few years ago. And before that, it was covered with vinyl. It's an industrial building. It's 80 times 100 big. And I would like to cover it with metal, because with us, due to the frequency of hurricanes, there are often 400 devices. It seems to be in an area where there are many similar buildings. I just hoped we could possibly get an exception for that.

Danke. Gibt es Fragen vom Vorstand? Ich werde fortfahren und einen Antrag auf Genehmigung dieses Punktes stellen.

Stell einen Antrag auf Genehmigung der Metallverkleidung.

Und eine Sekunde. Wir haben einen Antrag und eine Sekunde.

Danke.

And next we have the employee report, Ms. Vazquez. We already have that one. It was just for fun. Let me get back to the topic. Sorry, I have the beginner's syndrome here. Okay, so we'll continue right away. Let's get to the next point. The next point that we have under the new agenda item is a competition for the design of the entry signage, which was mentioned by Mr. Burgos in the last session. Ms. Vazquez also has the document on the design of the guide signage, which contains the proposed signage of the entrance, added to the list by the board. I will now pass it on to the consultation so that we can decide how we want to continue, whether we want to continue the competition or possibly take a different path, whether we want to write it out again or something in that direction. I think I'll start.

um northridge south north and south richwood um Ich liebe es, einen nationalen Wettbewerb zu sehen, denn wir können Sie übrigens bekannt haben. Ein durchschnittlicher Landschaftsarchitekt und seine Schulen bieten entsprechend ein. Als ich meinen Master in Landschaftsarchitektur an der FWU gemacht habe, haben wir an Projekten wie diesem verstetige Arbeit.

Ich habe es immer dann gemacht an Andrew.

Und wir hatten ein Projekt, bei dem wir ganze 80 Hektar in that were flat. So we got our ideas and the city then actually used them and all these ideas. I also did a restoration project in the Türen on David Street. That was all part of my course. Wenn wir es Schulen und Ähnlichem anbieten würden, würden wir andere Ideen bekommen. Wir müssten keinen Gewinneinwurf erstellen, aber wir könnten verschiedene Ideen dafür bekommen, wie wir einen Beitrag einbringen. Wir wissen nicht, was damit passiert.

No, I was just thinking about it. When I was in the boardroom, we had already talked quite a bit about Wegweiser and we had the signage that had already been designed beforehand. Wouldn't it make sense to just write it out and then use the existing signage package and only focus on the

I think you could take these requirements into account in the signage, because if you give them the information for a design competition, you have to give them specifications. No.

Now, how specifically with the signage at the Gateway could you take it from the existing design package so that we don't have to redo all our signs? So if you look at it from a budget perspective and you don't necessarily have to push everything into the air, but rely on the design that we already have in the city center.

It's not like that. Das fertige Produkt bauen muss. Das ist nur für Ideen.

Gibt es eine Art Wettbewerb, von dem du gesprochen hast, an dem man teilnehmen könnte, aber ist das etwas, das wir von Grund auf entwickeln müssen?

Und wie viel Arbeit wird das auch von unseren Mitarbeitern erfolgen?

Von Anfang bis Ende ausführen?

Und es geht.

More about how high the price will be and where the money will come from. And you know, there are just a lot of unknown people. And I have the feeling it's been a while since we did designs last time. I don't know if I was in the boardroom when we did the designs.

It's been a long time. It's been a while, but you can

Yes, we can refresh it a little bit since the thing with HageTV, but I just have the feeling that it will mean a lot more work for our employees if we have to develop this whole competition from the ground up. And yes, it could be great advertising, but at the same time it is the price we pay for it.

Yes, I like the idea, but If you look at the overall picture, this is the only point that worries me a little. I have the feeling that we could only create the signage for the Gateway by using our updated Welcome in Sebring sign that was used during the HGTV broadcast. We could look at our existing signs and come up with a few new ideas for the Gateway sign and then possibly go this way. But then we don't have to start all over again and create the entire signage again to adapt it to what we decide for the Gateway in the end. I know it was a huge effort. And Christy, maybe you can say something about the prices and costs, but I know that it caused enormous costs to make all the signs new. So I have the feeling that we have made a few parts here and there, instead of being able to decide the entire project ourselves. I just thought about how we could spend the money we have responsibly. I would only be worried that it could become a really expensive project, just because of the snowball effect. Not that it would not be a good idea to organize a competition for design inspiration. But is it the right time for it now?

When is the right time? And a competition does not end in one month. You will publish it and have a deadline of one or two years.

Well, I think the signage on the Gateway has been a big topic for us for years, since I've been in the board. And that's something I wouldn't want to leave waiting for two, three, four years. We've been talking about setting up Gateway signage for some time to increase the attractiveness when you come to the city center. Personally, I would welcome it if it was put on the way as a project, so that it can perhaps even be realized in the next household cycle or so, in order to then possibly take it into account in the budget and then be able to publish it, instead of taking two or three years to have a concept for a design. And then it will be another complete project because the design does not fit the picturesque appearance of the city center. I think our existing signage in the city center, like the signposts, is pretty and fits well with the old, charming city center. So I think if we ask the designer to consider this when creating the gateway signage, we could effectively use our means.

I think only if you look at the signage, the one that was approved, it doesn't impress me. I don't think it would take that much time.

I think that in this context of work as municipal administration, there are many procedures and guidelines that we have to follow. Many employees and I would personally recommend it.

So what do we think about making a request to issue

only to publish it again for the signage of the Gateway. Not necessarily a competition, but maybe ask the employees to go there again and check what we can do with our existing designs and possibly just look at the Gateway sign. The Gateway signage. Chrissy, maybe it's me.

What are your... What you say is right.

That makes sense.

Take out the proposed Gateway signs and then look for a design expert to update them.

So we would make an exclamation for it or publish an exclamation.

Let's leave it at an exclamation first and then I can work together with the purchasing officer and the staff to find out exactly what works best for our purposes. Thank you, John.

That doesn't mean that we can't write out a competition later. But I have often conducted this discussion about finding the way and the entrance, like the gate entrance signs, in the boardroom. I would simply hate it if it would be a five- or six-year-old project, if it could happen at some point.

The signs really have to be made new, because you want to stay. You want to say, I am entering this area.

Christy, we could include that in the document, right? We could design it according to what we would like to see, either on the basis that we keep the proposal or go in a different direction, but maybe we keep certain parts. At this point, it really depends on the proposal. So, how should we formulate it?

We need a request. Do you need someone to make a request that we ...

Do you want to make an application?

I am making an application to publish an application to update the date of the gateway signage in our wayfinding plan.

I support that. Are there any further discussion points? Nelly, would you like to open the attendance list?

Yes.

Yes. Let me make sure that I stay on topic here. All right. Next, under a new item, we have the final CRA budget for the entire year 2026-2027 for approval and approval. Thank you, Christy, for adding all the detailed notes for us. I appreciated that very much. I think she noticed everything there. I don't know if anyone has any questions or wants to discuss something. Before we move on and submit an application for approval of this point.

I submit the application to approve the decision.

I have a second. One second. Okay, we have one second. Is there any comment from the public? Gibt es Anmerkungen aus dem Vorstand? Okay, Nelly, kannst du bitte die Anwesenheitsliste?

Ja.

Okay, und als nächstes haben wir den Haushaltsbeschluss für 2026, über den wir nicht sprechen können. Er wird den Serienhaushalt für das gesamte Jahr 2026 verabschieden. Ich übergebe dies nun an den Vorstand, damit er Anmerkungen zum Haushaltsbeschluss machen kann. Okay, if there are no questions, I will submit the application for approval of this item.

I submit the application for approval.

Resolution, thank you. Do I have a second? I have a second.

Are there any comments from the public or from the board?

Okay, no comments. Nelly, would you please read the consent form? Yes. In Ordnung. Und dann haben wir noch einen Punkt für die alten Tage, den Antrag auf Verlängerung der Bauarbeiten für 228 North Ridgewood Drive. Herr Bleckmann, würden Sie bitte nach vorne kommen und den Vorstand über den Stand der Bauarbeiten informieren?

Hallo, nur zur Info, Drew Lackner, Ihr Bauunternehmer. Ich war schon einmal hier oben. Sie haben uns gebeten, bei jeder Sitzung wiederzukommen, um ein Statusupdate zum Stand der Arbeiten zu erfragen. So, we have issued a declaration of renunciation for the freedom of the barrier at the start. This meeting will only take place on October 13th, one day after your meeting. We therefore request that the construction works be extended until October 31st. We have received an extended TCO to keep this schedule for the ground floor. So we only ask that this be extended until October 31st. As soon as we have information about the situation from the state, we will contact you, then we will go to your next meeting, whenever this takes place. Okay, great.

Does anyone have questions from the board?

Wait a minute, the resignation has come in at the start. We have kept their deadline and the meeting is, I think, on October 13th.

Okay, great. Then you send the employees an update after that.

Yes, I don't know exactly, I don't know exactly how late it is or how it is. No, as soon as you have that, as soon as we have that and have a decision, we'll send it back to you. It is, it is not technically feasible, and that's how we submitted the application.

Okay, perfect. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I will continue and submit an application for approval of this point. I support you. Okay, super. Nelly, would you please tell us where you are? Yes.

Yes.

Just to clarify, because I didn't hear it, this is an extension until October 31st, right?

Yes, this is an extension to make sure that we have this extension until October 31st.

Thanks. And then very quickly, if you have a second, just to inform us about the total operating costs. We have. Yes. Only the ground floor. We have nine. The nine from today? Yes, they have nine tenants there, as they told us. So it's going well.

That's exciting.

Just wait for it. But oh, and yes, tomorrow it's funny, because they came in, because they do it the way it works. There are rental contracts and then there are people who are a kind of members who go to different headquarters. And she said, yes, tomorrow the entire left side of the ground floor is full. Full. And I thought, wow, okay, that's exciting. So it's going well. So it was a good project.

Thank you. Thank you for bringing us to the latest level. We appreciate that very much. Thank you very much. Are there any questions from the audience that are not in the agenda? Okay, then we'll move on to the comments from the board members about... Would you like to start with John? I agree.

I agree. I agree.

That was a short session. Okay, let me see what else I can do.
