City Council - Regular Meeting

Well, Tracy, we were talking about the data side of it as well. Okay.

I do have questions on your, you do this weekly, monthly, what do you do? You can come up to the microphone, Mr. Graham.

You have a rodeo. The rodeo or what is it? Well. All facets of a rodeo.

Do you have the same numbers of attendants for these events or?

So these events, are they pre scheduled? Where does the city have a list of these events?

I really haven't been aware of it. Just tell you the truth.

Well, I mean, that's why we're tabling because there's a whole lot of stuff. A lot of questions. We don't know. So give us a little time to gather up some perspective.

But my understanding is you've been taking care of it and taking care of it very well according to when I talked to the city. I talked to Eddie about it actually. And so... That's a big plus. Big plus. I'm just curious if, you know, the last time we put this out, because I was part of the approval on that three years ago, we did put an RFP out on it. And there were some others at that point. There was one other. There was a horse group, I think, or something. Maybe not. I don't remember.

So have you had any pounding your door saying, hey, I want an opportunity at the fairgrounds?

No, I mean, has anybody, the question is, has anybody been hitting City Hall's door saying, hey, why can't I have an opportunity at the fairgrounds?

One more thing. Would it be possible to get a list from you of the events you've had in the last year? I guess it grows every year, I assume.

But you can verify numbers by ticket sales, right?

Well, that'd be good information to have. So somehow before the next. Agenda item when it comes back. Could you get that to the city or somewhere?

Are you guys happy with the design of it? Okay. They should be.

So we need to make a motion to approve this project.

Well, good job, Eddie and staff. It's mind-boggling the things that I've seen occur, come and go, and coming since I've been on the council. It's just... So thanks to everybody involved.

Vice Mayor Taylor. I don't know what to say, guys. Thank you. All of you. I mean, from Eddie on down, I appreciate all of y'all's work. Councilman Aguirre? Nothing.

It's pretty much been said. I know the budget's a monumental task, and you guys have done a great job at it, Alia. And, you know, when you look at the grants, you know, we hear about them in council. You hear about a grant here, a grant there. But when you look at them in its totality, I mean, you know, to me, just in looking, it's pushing past 10 million. Absolutely. And that's huge. for this community, and I'm proud of all of you for that. Thank you, sir. That's it.

Or as Chris would say, McCoke. McCoke, yeah.

And my daughter is going, let's get something to eat. No, forget it. We're going to go to the stables and take something home. Not now. It's 9. Yeah. Okay.

We're going to go here. You've got one more.

Oh, okay. She's probably playing with the water in the bathroom. Turning it off so she doesn't have to run. Oh, let's get my daughter. You need to get the smart water. Somehow I don't think she likes that, though. I don't know why. I move that we reconvene from executive session.

Motion to second, please cast your votes. Okay, unanimous approval to come out of executive session.

Second. Either one, I don't care. I'm happy either way. We have a motion and a second.
