“Thank you, Gary. Good problem to have, right? As a parks director, you enjoy too many people wanting to use it, correct? Yeah. These are good things to talk about. Gary, when did you say, as someone who's not 50 yet, so I can't officially use active, When are y'all talking about, you mentioned about like the non-residence fees, when are y'all going through that? And will that also include like, I was even thinking like variable-based fees, like maybe reduction on some of our places where we want more people to go to Summit, to Beacon, to East or some of those. When will y'all do that and have…”

“Council Member Hogg. Yeah, thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Susan. We appreciate what you do in audit. Y'all help us mitigate risk a lot. You're also a revenue generation on creating a lot of those things. So on those construction audits we do, we find a lot of good results from those. Are we auditing 100% of our construction audits or what's the parameter for what causes a construction audit?”

“And then on the flock safety utilization audit, listen, this keeps escalating in the community, so I appreciate y'all doing this. The audit goes so far as how APD's using it, but also is it what's happening with the data on the other side? Because I think that's the biggest concern people are poking.”

“Okay. And is that going to be, do you know when that, is that early on you're hoping or later on in the year? I know you're a little short-staffed right now.”

“We've been doing the code for multifamily on that. Yeah. Perfect, thank you. Alex, let me ask another question. Yes, on restricting your rooms, I think the IPMC is a good parameter to use as miss garcia dumas said um to make sure we're not just going nilly willy on what we're doing um from that side alex one of the things we face is and the mayor said it um when this happens you know we're all a fan of you can do what you want your property but when you do some things it can affect street parking it affects all that um A lot of these are done by garage conversions. That adds rooms, that adds…”

“I don't want to get into the weeds. We'll get into that as we get into the committee on that. Thanks, Jencie. Alex, let me ask one other question. As what we've done with short-term rentals, we put a policy in place. It's actually worked pretty well. No policy's ever perfect, but it's actually minimized it. We've talked about... right after World Cup, going out to RFP to do a new bid to really make sure we have a program evaluating all those short-term rentals. As we get into rental registration and things, I just did a quick search on Spareroom.com, there was 143 rooms listed. On…”

“Yes, Council Member Locke. Yeah, real fast, and thank you, Trey. Just you and your team's professionalism on a budget is truly impressive. Someone who's done a lot of these for over the years. I just can't thank you enough for, y'all take some steps, and you take some bold steps on some recommendations. Can you get, one thing I do think we need to look at, I saw Tarrant County College is considering like a 13 cent increase, and I don't know what they finally decided on. They're a very small portion of the tax. I think Tarrant County, as a county actually maybe did a small reduction. 0.02.…”

“What they proposed, yeah. What they proposed. Because it is... Listen, we can talk about ours all we want. Homeowners, see it as a whole, right? So we've gotta see it as a whole of what the school district's done, because now they passed a bond, so they've got a little increase in their bond rating. So I'd like to be able to see what that is as a whole from that perspective. I, of course, lean towards the proposed tax rate that we came in. The one piece I can start looking forward and start really having some concern about And we spent a lot of time as council talking about street maintenance…”

“Grandma Shelton's working over here. You know, with that, I also look at I don't think we should reduce, but I'm worried about just a blanket statement of saying no reduction because. Voting locations have changed as of a couple of years ago, you had to go to a specific location. I think we all remember I've waited in hour and a half, 2 hour lines and I remember these last year. So I'm going up there in the last couple of years and you're going. not voting but it's because you can go to any location now even on election day um it is one and i haven't followed what all tarrant county's doing…”

“Yeah, and I don't... Listen, we've got to keep the county in our graces. They killed... The proposal that came back to him, I don't know if I fully believe they didn't know what was getting proposed. Listen, we usually know it's getting proposed. So I know how governance works on that side, but getting into something that we don't have the details about a blanket statement. I have a hard time getting into that and I do think. elections have changed. They did implement money where you can vote at any polling site, which has been super convenient. I know it's convenient for almost everyone I…”
