“Just a reminder, like, we live in a beautiful town with lots of sun. So make sure you meet with a dermatologist once a year. so yeah cautionary is always a good thing the other thing i would like to do is make sure the city is paying attention uh they're telling my investors right now that we're two to five years out before we have any more capacity so uh people say we're going to continue in the next couple of years it's good to be able to have new partners not because we're not working on the pc board or the city council's not working it's just they have our hands tied now with the capacity”

“Well, we had four candidates come in last night, I'm sorry. We did an interview process, and before we got the candidates in, before we got together, we did another task, figuring out what our needs are. which candidate would fit those needs the best. All four candidates were very capable. Some of them were brand new faces. I mean, I've known that before. Some of them were old faces. They've been on for 35 years. So we do appreciate everybody coming out and showing interest in the position. There was one that stood out to us. I collected you as a group. I mean, there was one board member that…”

“Well, everybody knows I'm looking for a working board. And we want people to champion projects. And we're looking for what we're missing in the board right now. And she definitely fits the bill for what we're missing at the board today. So I think she's a great asset to be just important.”

“couple people to help Megan, because it's going to be such a large project with already 1.6, 1.7 million being granted, and we'll shoot another 1.4, 1.5 this coming year. So hopefully we'll all be awarded, and we'll be dropping it over to like 3 million dollars, so it's going to take a lot of effort. But probably staff doesn't have a manual for us, so I think KCBC can actually step in and assist with that project in a lot of different ways. So that's going to be a recommendation we're looking for in KCBC to try to and then we'll have to, so. And we have Mark back there, so.”

“did utilize that and i think we're going to try to modify that a little bit because i mr conrad scored very very high i won't say that because he's been around for 30 years and he knew all the processes but that's not what we were looking for um I think we were modified a little bit because the way it scored out last night was a little, I mean, if I was to come back 10 years later and it would score very high, I know it might not be as important, but we were modified a little bit so that the board had a little more leeway as far as who was selected in that process. Now, maybe we can improve…”

“Usually, we're aware this is something that KCDC has been talking about. And we don't have an EDC director that we pay at the free level. And we have a lot of small businesses that have been asking for help. through social media. There's so much new stuff that I'm not even aware of, honestly. I learned a lot from my daughter, and she's a little bit younger generation. I ask questions all the time because it's something that I'm just not familiar with. But we want to use this as a tool to help us social media platforms and then also help us hopefully create more businesses and put packages…”

“I would just like to bring in a bit of attention that there's 232 homes in Kemah Oaks, just running rough numbers while I'm in Costa Rica, but you already have like $70 million worth of tax value. Yes, I didn't do it house by house, so it's going to be somewhere in that ballpark. So they generate about $130,000 to $125,000 in property tax for the town. So you're talking about, in essence, right, a 380 agreement for a year and a half if we were to fund this whole thing. just so everybody's aware of baseline numbers. I mean, that's exactly what we're doing, is right at 380, we're a year and a…”
