WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT WELCOME TO OUR CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING TONIGHT But I'll need to do a pro tem. So I did not anticipate this when I set the time. But I talked to Jackie. So we

1:25 – 1:56•Lorin Palmer

Well, she wanted us to stop council meeting and do it. I'm like, no, not how it works. So, anyway, that's the only change I've got then. So, that'll happen in a minute. I'm so sorry. Like, I truly am embarrassed for that. Featured in items. So, that HOA, that Lake Ridge. So, we'll put that up on the podcast. Okay, 1.3, council discussion for future citizen recognition.

1:58•Teddy Hodges

Did you see that email that came out from the chamber about they're looking for nominees? Yes. So I don't know who all got that, but city staff.

2:14 – 2:30•Lorin Palmer

They're not doing any business, and now they're going to police and fire and volunteer. So do you know anybody? I will say, did we look at the 28th for the hometown?

2:37 – 2:52•Lorin Palmer

Okay. Okay. Seeing no other item there, we'll go to our administrative reports. We'll start with 2.1, tonight review of the proposed park master plan, impact the analysis, and impact the facilities plan. Anthony, welcome. Thank you, appreciate it.

10:40•Lorin Palmer

Let's have a look. Just give the double take. Perfect.

15:15•Teddy Hodges

Does that take into consideration our future park plans? Or is that just current active parks?

22:03•Teddy Hodges

What was the amount of people that took the survey this year and then compared to 2019?

23:27•Teddy Hodges

Are there demographics there? Are you taking any demographics on the top of the responses, like male, female, owner, renter?

27:52 – 28:19•Lorin Palmer

Yeah, I would say that's a good analogy. Okay, great. And I think there's two aspects, right? The impact that we can, so now we're charging that to where we can apply, but then there's a bigger vision. I mean, they're taking... public input, and then still it falls back on us to outlay the capital when it comes to that point. I mean, that's a big, that's a tall task we're never going to have. We're still never going to have. We got a lot closer. We got 100 million closer.

30:05 – 30:26•Teddy Hodges

I think a couple of key points. There's some things like we should do that tomorrow, like our wayfinding and trail mapping, right? Identification and notification. And then even with, we know we're short on pickleball fields. We know we're short on baseball fields. We know we're short on programmable fields. Those are all, we know that. We're taking those down as we can.

32:17 – 32:34•Lorin Palmer

Thank you, everybody. Appreciate it. Is that everything, yeah? I think so. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Thank you, guys. That presentation leads right into our next one, which will be our athletic complex donor campaign proposal. Wendy's going to lead out.

33:10 – 33:25•Lorin Palmer

I was, and I'll say I need to apologize to them publicly. We had started down a path, and then some stuff happened, and then they've been pushing and excited, so they're fired up. I've been the one that's kept them from coming back quicker, so... Ladies, we'll turn it over to you.

46:37 – 47:04•Lorin Palmer

I love it. Yeah, I mean, that was just unreal. That was so, I built it for us. I think that's definitely the best. I think I love that. So talk to me next, how we move forward. So really, the To continue this, you need budget. And then are you, is your intent to help go promote this as well? Or is that just, like, where do you, what do you need from you? How do we work together? What's your vision for what you will do? What do we do from this point?

48:22 – 48:39•Lorin Palmer

Okay, but immediately from us, you would need the funding to print this stuff, right? Because you don't have that, clearly. So we're talking a couple thousand dollars, right? Is that kind of what? Oh, around a thousand bucks. That does your website, that does the printable, that's a thousand bucks, okay.

48:39•Teddy Hodges

Is this city funds, or is it donor funds, or what's that look like? Probably city, we probably have to talk.

48:54•Teddy Hodges

The bind implement and the tabs and the folders.

49:02•Lorin Palmer

Was this just something we need to bring back in another to decide?

49:42 – 50:21•Lorin Palmer

Mm-hmm. And I think, I'm happy. It's a group meeting that way. Yes. Take a meeting with us again for sure. Yeah. Yeah, we would, I would love to, I think if you're written, I would love to go with you to a couple. One, we can't say a lot right now, but there's interest from somebody that I think putting you in front of this group would be very good. So I'd love to set something up to go with you. You know, the three, like the four of us go, you know, we can take Wendy to or Nathan to some staff too. But... Okay.

50:48 – 51:41•Lorin Palmer

Yeah. And I would say one thing I know, we're talking about the 10 million is not sure yet. Okay. Because it goes to the voters. So the board approved it for us. But now it has to go to the voters. And that, those ballots just hit today. So there might be an opportunity to start promoting. voters to vote for that, to support that bond. Does that make sense? So there could be some work there in the next couple weeks even to promote, you know, you could look at, you know, pushing people to support that. We can't pay for that, though. No, we can't pay for that, right? We can't pay for that. The g

51:42 – 52:09•Lorin Palmer

So there's a pamphlet that arrived today, the arguments for this bond. So you can even take some of that and help promote it to parents. But we can talk offline even in the next couple of days and try to talk about that. So let us kind of regroup. We'll talk as a staff. This is amazing. I knew you girls were going to come up with amazing stuff, but that video was amazing. There's a lot of people that are going to see that, and it's going to resonate with a lot of people.

52:11 – 52:33•Teddy Hodges

Mary, can I do this? Yes, please. Great job. And just to plug, if anybody wants to judge DECA competitions, this is what you'll see. Not at this level, but... These girls are awesome. They're another level. Yeah, but the state or local or decade competitions, they're awesome. And it shows that these girls are actually learning valuable tactical skills for the future.

52:36 – 52:52•Lorin Palmer

Any other comments, questions for these young ladies? Amazing. You did a great job. Thanks for being patient with us. Thank you so much. Thanks for being patient with me over the past few months. We appreciate it. So circle back, put it, keep us on that text. We'll talk over the next couple days.

53:29 – 53:43•Lorin Palmer

I'm going to get my agenda back out here. Okay. We'll go to 2.3, consideration of a policy regarding sponsorships, donations, and gaming rights. Did you know you were doing this one? Yes. Okay.

1:01:59•Teddy Hodges

like the Ochre Hills or Summit Trail or like non-specific, not like an Eric's Trail or after somebody or something more just geographically.

1:02:21•Lorin Palmer

And I love the idea, but again, it's been so troublesome in some areas.

1:02:47•Teddy Hodges

Because they're wanting signage on that trail to signify the sponsor. I don't like the idea of naming the trail. Allowing them to sponsor it.

1:03:01•Teddy Hodges

But if you look at the freeway signs or highway signs, it's just the name of the organization.

1:03:28 – 1:03:44•Teddy Hodges

I have something about the athletic complex, maybe. If we're really bringing 75,000 people out on weekends, like these tournaments, there should be like a food truck alley. There is. Just making sure. I digress.

1:04:08•Teddy Hodges

OKAY. THAT'S IT FOR ME. THANK YOU, WENDY. THAT'S IT FOR ME. THANK YOU, WENDY. THAT'S IT FOR ME. THANK YOU, WENDY. I'M JUST UPSET I MISSED THANK YOU, WENDY.

1:04:15•Lorin Palmer

I'M JUST UPSET I MISSED THANK YOU, WENDY. I'M JUST UPSET I MISSED THE CHICKEN GUY.

1:14:19•Teddy Hodges

Well, they can only go up to 1,000 feet, and then you can put garage space on there.

1:17:56•Teddy Hodges

So... If your plan review fee is not based on your valuation, the permit fee would be... Yeah, your permit fee is valuation.

1:19:34•Teddy Hodges

We have some checklists down there, not for this.

1:20:17 – 1:20:31•Lorin Palmer

anything else on that then? She will bring it back. We'll just look for you to do the timing and bring that back to us. And Blake, no stress. Like I said, we'd rather have you come and tell us you don't have it.

1:21:01 – 1:21:19•Teddy Hodges

Well, are you talking, so are you talking like application fees or the actual bill, like the permit fee? Because I think like Nathan, like there's two different things. Yeah. Like when I come submit an application, I'm going to pay 250 or 589 or whatever that is for the application. And then if I get it approved, I'm going to pay the $1500 or 2000 for the permit.
