“Eduardo, do you want to come up real quick? I have no issue with it. We just had to coordinate with Parks to see. My only question is wouldn't you want to do it from City Place since that's where you're taking off from?”
“No, you wouldn't want to do it from CityPlace since that's where you're taking off from? Like do something official there?”
“You wouldn't want to do it at CityPlace since that's where you're taking off from?”
“Okay, because I can help you. We can work with that. We can be there and do it with the city. Wonderful. What we can do is we can put the flyer up on our social media, which we don't normally do, but since you're asking for use of the logo, we can advertise it on the page. Wonderful. Is that okay? Okay, so we're gonna work with my young and and we'll work with city place. I'm sure they will have no problem We've talked to them a lot and we'll do it from there and we can all be present or you can invite whoever you'd like And and what we'll do is we will publish it on our on our social media…”
“So I Absolutely. Just keep following the rules and doing a great job, and we're always going to support you.”
“Yeah, I think that this is extremely exciting and needed for some time now. There is a lot of antiquated systems that I think we can improve on so that just to rent a gazebo, you're not having to go to the park and give a deposit and kind of just very old traditional ways of doing it. I think there's a much better solution. This is clearly the one that you've found. I have just a couple of questions that I think they're things that I've heard in the community and I know we've discussed. And I'm hoping the system will eventually be able to do these things. One of the things that I think we got…”
“I just think that people would appreciate more if we say we're sold out for Saturday. Positions may open up at noon, let's say, if people don't come check in. Then people coming and having to wait hours in line to get into the water park. Or they wait in line and then they don't have an opportunity to get in because we're at capacity. So just something I really want to work on before we open again this season.”
“It would be great if on their app they have their ticket for the day. They come, they swipe, the waiver and everything is done, and they go right in. And it's also a big saver for staff. Yes. Because you don't have three people there just trying to register people to get into the park. Yes. So that's one thing. The other thing is we talked for a while about class registration. So right now, I think the way we're doing it, and this was a big discussion when we opened up the recreational facility in the gym, was do we include classes in the monthly membership? Knowing that that is a sales…”
“Awesome. And I'm assuming also that all the programming, you'll be able to register for the programming on the app as well too and pay for it there and all of that. You don't have to go to the park anymore.”
“Okay. And then obviously this will be rolled out in all the parks. So even legacy that you have to pay a fee to be able to use the track and stuff, it'll be the same system, a scanned.”
“Perfect. I think it's great. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope it's less than six months. I know that's ambitious, but. I'm looking forward to being ready and being utilized as of next year in the summer. I think people will be very happy and as a smart city, this is something that I think is very much needed. So, thank you. Any other questions?”
“Motion to approve by Councilman Pinero. Second. Second by Councilwoman Reynoso. There's no further questions. Madam Clerk, please call the roll. Good job, guys. Awesome.”
“Councilman Reynoso? Yes. Vice Mayor Cabral?”
“Second. Motion to approve by Councilman Pinedo. Second. Second by Vice Mayor Cabral.”
“Motion to approve by Councilman Renato. Second. Second by Vice Mayor Cabral. On favor say aye.”
“Well, you don't need a motion for that one.”
“All right. Mayor's report. Okay, so... Not much to report this month other than I just wanted to thank our incredible Parks Department, Public Affairs, and everyone involved, Public Works, for the events that we had during the holidays. Very successful. I think every year we continue to see more and more people coming to these events. I think we've grown out the space for the tree lighting ceremony. Spoke to Michael about that and hopefully next year we're going to be able to expand a little bit more and have more activities. The park events this weekend, the holiday celebration at the park…”
“We're going to sing happy birthday to Frank real quick. Ready? Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear friend. Happy birthday to you. You can blow on it. I love how you do this, and then you blew really, really hard. You can have the whole cake. All right. That's all for my mayor's comments. Thank you all, guys. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. City manager's report?”
“Thank you, Felix. If you'll just wait for us to wrap up so we can take a picture. Take a picture right after. We have two more items and then we're going to take a picture. Is that okay?”
“Thank you. I get my own cake. It's a different cake. Open it up. Last year in my 30s. All right. Is that all for the manager's report? That's all for the manager's report. Thank you, manager. Next. To the attorney's report. To the attorney.”
“I'd like to just real quick mention before we recess for our afternoon agenda, the police department also won this year the Pig Rose Challenge, the overall champion. So congratulations to you all, and thank you to our incredible sponsor. Yes, I forgot. I forgot about the pig roast challenge. Congratulations to you guys who really showed out that it takes a village. And to our sponsor, John Bell, for all the support. It was a great event to be a part of and supporting the law enforcement of our community. So thank you. And then I wanted to just open up if there was, for a moment, a personal…”

“Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance led by Councilwoman Reynoso.”
“All right, thank you very much. Agenda order of business. I don't believe there's anything to add or delete at this time. So we'll go ahead and move into the public comments portion of this meeting. We will now be opening the floor for public comments. Each speaker will have three minutes to speak.
