“Second. We have a motion and a second to approve this item. Tina, could you show us the map really quick? You mentioned about the water and funding and to and through. The blue line is the water line that is existing. Correct. You say to and through. Could you show us the area that would be, you know, Correct. You referred to.”

“Yeah. Okay. So again, I think that this is one of those things that we discuss again in the partnership category. I think regardless of who would move in here, developing that whole piece of property and taking that water line, it doesn't necessarily help them. They have access, but it does help the property to the north. And so it's a good economic development tool. And I will say all the work that's been done with economic development and with the engineers that we've had and staff, multiple staff members go through these projects to put utilities down this area allows for us to take…”

“Second. We have a motion and a second to approve this item as presented. Again, on the concept of partnerships, you guys have been great partners. It's really nice to see that you guys took a risk in Belton on initial developments and that it filled up pretty quick and now it's time for new opportunities. This is a really good complimentary space. It's really nice to see Belton grow organically to fill all the different areas within our tax base to allow for businesses to have easy access to 35 to the things that they need in a community that supports them. And so we appreciate those…”

“That's the best logo right there. No, no, the next one. That one that's on the whiteboard. That's a good logo.”

“Yeah, so I had the pleasure of serving on the committee. I thought it was really very productive. This is probably the most productive. I mean, we and Stephanie can share with this too, because when her time also on Chamber of Commerce, we've gotten really close a lot of times to unifying a brand around the chamber, around BEDC, around the city belt, and it's just never gone anywhere. This is... this is one that actually landed. So I think I'll just say this about my personality. I don't have an opinion until you ask me. And once I have an opinion, I'm not changing it. And so it's sometimes…”

“Yeah, I think it's approaching marketing in the two different ways. Like the Apple brand, it's Apple. Like it's just the Apple. It's an icon. That's it. There are others that are more complimentary where that one's kind of iconic.”

“And I don't want to complicate it, but I'll complicate it a little bit. You mentioned this is a Visit Belton effort. This is not the Belton logo. That being said, something like the one on the right, if you go back to the patches.”

“This, no, yeah, this could be the Belton logo. And the other could be the Visit Belton logo. Or vice versa. Or vice versa. No, I'm just, not to complicate, but... the thing is we we have probably four or five different brands within the city i think ultimately we would probably want to navigate to one and not to have this is the visit belton logo and this is not the visit level yeah i think eventually i think we want to go towards a direction a brand uh family um so i do really like how you're saying do different same you look at the one on the right you know say visit belton and have…”

“Yeah, I think the visit one is the stamp that you then work the canvas around. So you're going to have a canvas of a thing, and this will be the stamp on it. So it'll be whatever the scene is. You know, kids playing, or if it's Buck and Bronk, or guitar, barbecue, whatever. This could go where the other ones stand. Well, I think, you know, ultimately designed by committee never works. And so this is not designed by committee. This is a, a, and it actually, it says receive a presentation and consider selecting. It says, consider. I would recommend that we just kind of, if we don't, if you…”

“Yeah. With 2, you could go like in a video where it goes through different and then stops on one of the badges. So I think there's a lot of things we could do with 1 and 2. And like I said before, I think 2 stands alone. It's a stronger standalone icon that can capture Belton in a single visual. where number one is very good for our events and street banners and pamphlets. So I think to their point, I don't think we should throw any of this away. I think it's always good to put it in our back pocket. But I also agree. I think two is the direction that I think would allow us to stand out. I…”

“descendants of morgan's point yeah but anyway but no i i agree and we have consensus i don't know if we need to vote i think that there was a consensus that we think that number two is the way to go but we also really like elements of one so maybe we can use it for special events or i don't know we don't want to uh yeah do we need to vote all right so okay i'll make a motion for option two as presented with further refinement down the line Second. We have a motion and a second to approve logo concept to any other comments before we put this to bed and we're all team players and we get behind.”
