Welcome to our 23 Dash Swarachinam Aamadhi Yogam. This is the 23 Dash Swarachinam Aamadhi Yogam of our committee. This is the Yogam before the end. We are taking it with a goal. It is very special to spend this year to decide how our city should be and how our friends and relatives would like to see it. We will review today's schedule for all. Excuse me, let's look at today's survey. Then, if we did our job right, what we did will be reflected in the survey results. So, I am looking forward to those results. Mel, Aha, Melani, Deva, shall we hold a roll call?

Member Shikan. Thank you all.
I urge you all to join me in praying. I am praying for the United States of America and the Republic of America. A country that does not allow anyone to ensure freedom and justice under God. Do you have any comments or changes in the last month's yoga minutes? If so, do you have a promise to accept this? I declare a promise. I repeat it. Those who approve. Those who oppose. The promise has been passed. Oh, forgive me. Okay, one is changing. Teresa Clark, forgive me. Joined, sir. Thank you, Chairman, Chairman, and all the committee members. When we go through our six stages of land use, details, and other experiences, we thank you again for your patience, patience, and, most importantly, your contribution to the government. You have done a great job. We cannot tell you how much we have worked with you in this excellent way. If you weren't in the crowd with the Mayor this morning, I can remind you of what Mayor Garadano said. The Master Plan is the way forward for this city called Wildwood. I think he clearly explained how important this is for all of us, for everyone here, and for the residents of the city. So, once again, thank you. And thank you, Melanik, for bringing snacks tonight. So, if you enjoy the fruits and other things, when this yoga ends, we will be able to go out to the kookies and they will be able to enjoy us. Thank you, Melanik and Don, who helped us today. Um, Mr. Ginger is in Zoom tonight. I don't know if you all have had the opportunity to see him. He is the next legislator for our Planning and Zoning Commission. So, if you see that name there, that's him. He is serving in Ward 3. He came here instead of Mr. Code, who changed his term. Um, we only have one thing on the agenda tonight. But that's an important thing. And, as you know, the first few months of this experiment, from January 2025, we tried to understand the master plan. How successful was it? In 10 years, from 2016 to 2025, where were the shortcomings in the experiment? To conduct a survey, Silver Tablet helped Miss Ward in marketing, and we completed that survey. That survey was prepared by Ms. Ward. She gave you the permission to use the survey for opinions and discussions. We received about 800 responses. Those responses were analyzed by Ms. Ward and some AI models. This worked as a safety net when we discussed our goals and objectives. As mentioned, near the end of the update process, we wanted to reach out to our residents, businesses, volunteers, people who come to Wildwood for shopping, food, trails, parks, and so on. So again, we approached Miss Ward of Silver Tablet Marketing. Miss Ward prepared a survey. The survey again allowed you to discuss and discuss your opinions and opinions, and also allowed you to present it on the web. We received a little more than 300 responses. And I will allow Ms. Ward to explain how it is done with 800 Mayas. I know that there is a small plot there, but I know that there are many more behind it. These details are still very important, I think. This surprised me. I had some surprises. I'm not going to share it now, but from the perspective of the department, I think Ms. Ward worked very hard to find out what people wanted to know about the changes made in our stores and how to describe them in question. So, Mr. Chair, with your permission, if there are no questions, I will end the session. I will ask Ms. Warden to come to the microphone. Thank you. We can tell you what we know. Thank you.
Thank you. Joined. Mr. Chair, members of the group, I would like to thank you for your time and effort as a 18-year-old resident of Wildwood. I can't believe it. I appreciate all the things you do for the city. The report is very comprehensive. You will see that there are several parts in it rather than a brief report of answers and opinions. I have made this in a way that helps you understand what people are thinking about the various aspects of the master plan. I did that by examining various questions on the basis of that topic. As Joe said, we got 305 responses. This is very low compared to the first survey. Through the city's e-newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, printed flyers, and Route 66, this survey was distributed in the same way as the first survey. Yes. Should we ask questions when you go or should we wait until you complete them?
What is the most appropriate thing for you? You can ask me when you go. That's exactly right.
In the Route 66 event, survey polls were conducted through flyers and outreach. We started by asking who answered the questions. Are they residents or business owners or both? Most of the people are residents, as you can see. 2.6% were business owners, and 2.9% were both. Moreover, you can see in the report that most of the residents have been living here for more than 20 years. Section 3 Community.
Yes. Let me explain again. Yes, that's it. So, I don't understand whether it's a business resident or a business resident. Are there any residents who have not completed the survey? Businesses who are not residents can also be included in it. In the survey, Yes, The things we proposed were proposed by Ms. Boomer-Schlag, one of our group members who inspects business groups in Wildwood. That is why I believe that we have an agreement that includes businesses and residents. That's why.
Thank you for making it clear.
Okay. In Section 3, as mentioned earlier, the joint findings and open opinions on most survey questions are seen as answers. According to the pin code in the first survey, there was an objection from the committee to give open opinions. So I have completed it for this survey. You can see the end of the report. When it comes to the nature of the wildwood, it can be seen that the most progress has been made in maintaining the rural nature for the next 10 years. In addition, the second stage was achieved in protecting open areas. You can see that the survey was taken from 8, 9 and 20 questions. In addition, there are comments that are posted in open comments. For the protection of the situation, a large part of the approval rating was obtained for each situation. 93% for the protection of forests and open areas, 92% for the reduction of environmental damage caused by agriculture, and 90% for the protection of the quality of the water resources of Bugarb. The lowest score in that category was for the sustainable and sustainable cattle farming. 72% approved it. In Section 33, we have discussed the opinions of the residents about the existing infrastructure and service facilities. The community service and infrastructure issues that have been chosen the most due to the increase in traffic, as well as the state of the roads that are not sustainable due to the construction of them. In 3.4, the development of parks, trails and wineries is considered to be the most important. Further, trail connectivity and open space will be protected. Let me add here that the amount of use is also included in this. That is, it is a higher priority than those who use trails more than those who do not. Meaning One community recreation center's long-term proposal received a lot of opposition, but it was completely approved. 20% of the names were non-existent, 28% of the names were used, and 52% of the names were approved. The priorities for financial development were as follows. More food stalls, shopping, and local businesses that grew independently of nature. 88% of the people who responded said they wanted the town centre to continue as the main shopping centre. For construction and development, 82% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 91% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 91% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 91% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development outside the town centre. 81% of the names agreed to continue with the development The most important aspects of Wild Road are business, food, shopping, situation protection, safe places, traffic roads, and infrastructure. In the first three places, the services and assets that residents want to protect include parks, sidewalks, recreation, situation protection, open space, rural nature, and controlled development. You can see that the same principles are repeated again and again. In terms of the services and facilities of the required businesses, business, food, shopping is the first, parks, sidewalks, recreation is the second, and social security is the third. I thought it would be nice to see how this survey is done with the survey in March 2025. So you can see a survey in the fifth section. Most of all, this was a strong combination of the results of the survey in March 2025. The biggest difference was in the size of the parks. When the park was renovated in 2025, there was a change in terms of operation and practicality. The construction of the park continued to be in progress with a reduced number of facilities. In the sixth section, you can see the specifications according to the master plan plans. In addition, the major survey, The response was also very strong, showing that only the actions related to the construction of Vinodha Centre and Parpidavu were approved. Again, this is very similar to what we have discussed now. The seventh section is a Master Plan Validation Matrix. You can see that most of the master plan buildings and residents here are very strong. But the construction and renovation center are standing outside the building. In the eighth section, you can see the layout according to the PIN code. So, you can understand what the precedents are according to the PIN code. When the first survey was conducted, I included this because there were discussions about what the opinions would be on some of the PIN codes. You can also note that most of the respondents are from the town centre area. This was the same as in the first survey. Question Do you have any way to show a map showing where the different PIN codes are? Where are the codes? You can see the full results of all the questions in the experience. And you can also see the open responses according to the PIN code. Do you have any questions? Did you complete this within the same time period as March? I thought it was a bit short. But I don't know if I saw it after a few days. I don't remember what we did in March. It was about three weeks. I think this is the same. Yes.
It's not 17, it's live. This is not linked to the 17th or to the music festival. Yes, that's why we thought you would remember. We ran a soft launch on the route of the music festival as part of the 66% celebrations. That is, on July 17th, Friday. We started to spread it on all our platforms and websites from the 20th. It was open until the 31st of April. Then, Ms. Ward had a big responsibility to clean it up by tonight. Thank you. Yes, that's it.
Teresa, this is the map.
Do you have any questions? Everything is fine, right? Fine. Fine. Thank you all. So again, pay attention to the members of the chairman and the group. Obviously, Ms. Ward has done a lot of research on this. They are our experts on the results. If you have any questions, this is the time to ask Ms. Ward if we have left anything or if there is anything that needs to be improved. But from the perspective of the government, we would like to know if any of the changes we have made so far have been due to survey results. I know that it is difficult when there are more than one million objectives and goals for each of the six stages of the Earth's mission. However, I think that the main things have been included in the Executive Council. In the context of the event, we discussed all this and talked about each goal, intention and action in detail and spent time. One thing that surprised me was that the last stage of that executive meeting, i.e. the 10th, was water and rain management. We have used a task force. Funds are needed to help us in the Constitutional Senate and the Constitutional Assembly, and our legal advisors are working on it. Even though this has been included in the highest budget in the next ten years, I was surprised that it was not the first in the list. So, wiki
Sir, I was looking at the responses. I didn't find it surprising. The reason is that I thought it was suitable for you. I found it surprising that it was very low. But it is said that Aquafers received a great response for water resources. Therefore, I am wondering if the data center discussions and reviews about water resources in the media are the reason for such a response. I think it is very important for those who use Shrekker Road or Austin Road or other roads like that. Therefore, I am surprised that other things in the time and news are also the reason for this. Miss Ward may be able to provide more information about this, but it is true that there is a lot of discussion about the use of medicine, use of water, and specialties of data centers. With years of experience in these areas, it is well known that those who live in rural areas and those who live in villages know the importance of water. If the water is bad, if it does not reach the tanker or the pipes from the outside, the house will not be suitable for living. When we did other updates in 2015 and 2016, this was not a discussion topic. It is nice to see such a new thing. So it is a nice thing. I will ask the viewers what the reason is. I will say that many of the residents who gave the response live in areas with water sheds.
Many people don't even know what a watershed is. So, if you don't have a watershed at home, you won't be interested in it. You are talking about the percentage of your brothers and sisters. But if you think about it as a writer, how would you describe it? To summarize the survey, Yes.
I agree with the discussions I heard in the two meetings I participated in. I think that the things you all talked about in this process match very well. I believe that the things you discussed and the various articles that came up in the survey are of great help to you. Thank you. This is what I heard from one of the people who lives here. Very good. Yes. I still have the same question that I asked last time about the survey. How many times does it come, or is there any kind of weighted matrix in it? That is, is there a way to know what is important to you and what is popular? Can you understand what is the most important thing in that way? Temporary Our water, soil, and sewage in the city of Wildwood is a very high priority. So, how is it in this equation? You can see which questions it has included in those equations. That is, which questions have been given according to the equation. This is a quantitative equation. Yes, this is a quantitative equation. Also, this is a qualitative equation of open-ended questions. So, the third part is also a combination of the two. In the last part, you will be able to see the exact quantitative numbers of the questions. So, the third part is also a combination of the two. So, we will not calculate the weight that we gave from the beginning. Can you explain what you meant by weight? That is, when you rank, when you survey, I don't know much about Survey Munkies, but you can rank. Our three main categories. The ones that have been weighted like sophisticated categories, out of them, you can put 5-3 in the first place. So when you get this back, you will be able to know that your priority, importance, and popularity all come together. We have not used weighting in the questions. These question marks are quantitative. We have not given weight. It is calculated only by the number of answers. It is random. Because we were not interested in calculating the answers. That's why we announced a lot of interesting things in the survey. Answers. It's to make sure that the most important thing is not to be taken for granted because it's a comedy or a city. Right? They wouldn't have had to wait for this. This would have been the last topic. This would not have been a part of the survey. But I understood it now. Thank you.
Someone has raised their hand in Zoom. Don. A question about the survey and the part about attracting businesses to Wildwood. Did you ask specifically what kind of businesses should come to Wildwood, or have you received any feedback on that? We have not asked such a question in open-ended responses.
I would like to go back and check if anything has gone wrong. But we haven't asked that question in detail.
Okay. Thank you. Chairman, can I say something? Mr. Gettinger. There is a council committee for the financial development of the city. They have conducted various surveys in the past. They are not equal to this. We hear more about family restaurants, such things, more food stalls, people who are friendly to families, activities among the villagers, and strange things. So we have such things, we have restaurants, but I can't say that they are all family-friendly. Then we are looking at different types of strange activities these days. High Energy Gymnastics Center intends to build a new building on Manchester Road. So, this is very carefully planned, even if it is based on other survey results. No, I was wrong. That's not true. The 19th question was about the business needed. It has results in the pin board area. Mr. Gettinger. When I look at it quickly, you can see that most of them are like Joe said. Restaurants, restaurants, restaurants in general. Yes, I was researching something that was more clear in it. Because we have restaurants. They just... They have a very special menu. It's not something that people want to copy. That's why I was exploring one area. I have a background in the restaurant business. If people don't give what they want, you can't survive. This is a very difficult business. Clients spend a lot of time on this. That's why I can see a lot. Businesses keep coming and going without stopping. I pay more attention to what the residents of Wildwood want, because what they want is only to survive.
I can do it more carefully and send the details to the city. They can return it to you. I can answer the questions about the details in that question.
Ed I always hear about restaurants. I am aware that the Indian restaurant next to Walgreens on Main Road is closed.
Is anyone coming to take it? I can't speak for the City Administrator Thomas, but no one has contacted the Planning Department about anyone coming to the place where the restaurant is hidden. I can tell the group that the Financial Development Committee of the CET Council has allowed the group to run a pre-zoning of 109 lakhs of properties between Manchester Road and Route 100. This pre-zoning is intended to allow drive-thru facilities and quick-serve restaurants. Mr. Gartinger often complains about the facilities that provide good, sustainable food at a fast pace. It will help parents and children to buy food without leaving the car. Deborah. Yes.
When I read this, when I looked at the things we heard from the CET Council and the Financial Development Committee, I felt that different restaurants are not giving priority to ordinary people. Families need appropriate restaurants, but people who live in places where new drive-through facilities are available are not so interested in it.
Therefore, when I read this, I felt most carefully that more restaurants are needed for families. I think it is related to the price of food. I wonder if some of the restaurants that come and go here are more expensive. Restorants that cost more will not be able to afford a family with two or four children. Let me repeat your opinion about restaurants. Let's talk about Lucky Dog Central.
That's what I understood. They closed it because there was a shortage of food during the day. They couldn't find their expenses on the people who came through Old Manchester Road. So, it didn't happen because the price was high or because it was bad. There was no public transportation necessary to support it during the day. No. Joe, did you mean to say anything? You didn't need it, did you? Again, yes. If you have any questions regarding the survey, this is the right time to do so. Or, I would like to ask your opinions. In the context of the survey results, should we re-examine the things we have done in relation to the objectives, goals, intentions, and rules? According to Ms. Ward, the survey results in March are very similar to the survey results in July. The survey results in March helped us to move in the right direction, and I think it is the opposite for the churches. I think it's because it's been a few years since horses have been caught in the mud because of the interest in soil management and water management. That is, people forget it because it is not visible in front of their eyes. Certainly. If such an incident happens again, certainly that topic will be discussed again. But as you pointed out, Many people don't know what a watershed is because they don't have water resources near their homes. Most of the survey participants are from more populous areas. They feel that they belong to the same group of people. It is the people who live in these cities who need to reduce populousness. I think this is an opposition. So my first question is, how can we ensure that the voters in the cities have not received these survey results? If the survey was conducted only in the Pin Board area, we can include places where many houses are occupied and houses with more than 3 acres of land. I don't know how it was managed. I would like to know how it was done. Then my other observation is that these people themselves need more development, but they also say they need more restaurants. As Joe said, if there are no facilities, a restaurant cannot be stopped. I don't know if this is reflected in the survey data, because I can't accurately interpret it. Survey data is just Only the responses received. There are no pin boards in it. Therefore, you must take into account that the responses to both the surveys and the people who participated in them and the place where they live are very different. So, my question is, how can I do that without the council? Because we have to take all this with respect. I see it with a lot of respect, but I don't have much faith in the plans. Because I think that the development of Wildwood is needed. I want more schools of food, and I also want the village to be sustainable. But as you know, this is a difficult situation. Then, if this is a decision to be taken to lead these processes, I believe it is more important for those living in our villages, cities and provinces to know clearly that there are such opinions. Anyway, I don't think we've reached there. I think your wishes are true. You can't. We can't force people to respond to the survey, but we can't force people to respond to the survey. Of course, of course, of course.
That's why, yes, that's why we're standing here. We need to be able to believe that this was the real intention of the people who had the least opportunity. Let me tell you one thing. I think you need to make decisions based on the information you need. Yes. Everyone had the opportunity to respond to this survey. I think the respondents were interested. You cannot be forced to buy again. Okay, we will definitely come. Yes.
Now, is this a dramatic decision that has put eight wards on the line like we did in the man management program? Not that, yes. So I think you are convinced of this. Even when you were the representative of the sixth ward and the representative of the fifth ward, do you still believe that the Ward 2 Planning and Zoning Commission is in place? Are you listening to these or are you listening to something else? If you are listening to something very different, then surely these fruits can be harvested in a small department or in a large department in a particular area of the city. But as far as we are concerned, I can't say for sure that a regular survey will take place here and that it will not be completed by the end of the year. We have done everything we can to give you more information. In reality, Evil. Yes, but I am Rob. You are just one person. You are a very knowledgeable person. But you are using 300 people representing our entire society. Therefore, I have no objection to anyone talking about the survey dog or the survey method. A decision is a decision, isn't it? But you said that you don't think people who live in farms or apartments will vote in this way. But we have about 300 people on our side, and that about 800 people last year. So I don't think we're expecting too much. Can you understand just one thought? Okay, let's change it again. Miss McCann, I will immediately cancel the call. I think the fact that the survey is not being conducted is a big risk. Yes, that's why. I'm not saying that I said that. Looking from the perspective of the government, I'm saying that there are two risks in the fact that the survey is not being conducted. First of all, even if we complete the survey and submit the questions, we may lose it. We didn't pay attention to it and now we have found it. Therefore, there is always such a possibility. Then the second is, If you look at the public relations survey, I think it would be a waste of time to end the process without asking for feedback. In my survey, you can hear many things about the jobs of those who have worked in boards and commissions, those who have been elected and those who have been appointed. Ms. Baker is a business owner. When people come to buy something, I am sure that they hear it when they talk about Wildwood or restaurants. So, look at this in the light of your life. Is this what you hear? Is this what you think? Is this what your boss told you? Things like that. I think it will help us to understand what we are talking about. Is this something only we are talking about, or is it scientific, or is it an experiment, but do we hear this through a survey that everyone has received?
In Table 8.2, you can see the details of the numbers according to the PIN code. So you can see it in the first column. The highest number is the second second of the three same numbers. 8. Table 8.2. 8.2. I have a question related to this. Can you help me with this? How many families are represented in each PIN code you took?
I know what percentage you showed earlier, but if you look at the percentage of families, 20% of the town center residents participated. Only 5% of the other residents responded. That would be helpful to me. Mr. Ginger, I think Ms. Ripto can do it using our GIS GIS. Am I wrong? Viki, April. Um. My phone is on.
Thank you. So, there are a few questions and opinions. Before I joined this comedy, I didn't know what Watershed was. Even now, I don't really understand it. Therefore, when such surveys come up in Bavi, we don't know anything about the people who think it is not a problem for you to get a clear picture. Right? Therefore, it becomes unusual. Do you know what a watershed is? Or do you have a need? Is there a way to ask? Otherwise, will they be able to go to the next department? If so, won't it get more clarity about the people who are affected? That's a wish. Second, I felt it was too long. It takes 15 minutes for many things. I felt it was too long. It took 15 minutes for many things. I felt it was too long. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It took 15 minutes for many things. It from the perspective of a business owner and from the perspective of a resident. To be honest, I didn't have time for it. I remember the things I did on the first week. When you reminded me, I thought it was a soft launch. But what caught my attention was when I received Travis's email. I remember it was 23 no, 24 no. That is, it was either the second week or the end of the first week. My husband did it on the condition that he was a resident for us. That's what my sister-in-law said to let you know. So there is a priority in both the pin codes. I would like it to be a little smaller. Otherwise, there are answers that say no. If you ask questions that do not have to be explained, you will be able to understand more clearly what the answer is to those who give the answer. The questions that have to be explained or are allowed to be repeated when they feel like it. I really like to read this. This is very good. 1. Some things in this are interesting. 2. You can see some common things in this. I am fond of the elderly. Forgive me, I say many things alternately. I told you that I should not forget. I am fond of the elderly who are not on social media or cannot use computers. My mother-in-law is 75 years old. They are only doing this. They thought it was very big or they did not know how to move forward. Therefore, I am wondering if a large part of the population has been lost. Certainly, 300 people is not the whole population. I liked the idea that someone suggested to turn the old Noor into many small shops. I don't know if you have heard of this. Some of you may have heard of it. But it was very interesting to turn it into a historical St. Charles experience. I liked it very much. Also, I wish we would have had a little more time. I don't know if social media is useful or not because of the way algorithms work. I don't know if it's useful to allow people to do things for a month even if it's possible to see it today or five days later. Last time when Joe posted about a flood in Kodungadhi, I saw it three days later. I don't understand how that works. But when I got the email from Travis, I immediately did it on the 23rd or 24th. That is, just one week left. I sent it to our Hoa representatives and asked them to join our subdivision. But I don't know if they got the time for that. So that's one thing. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Yes. Joe, let me ask you this quickly. Did we submit this to the U-leader newspaper once a week or twice a week? No, we didn't do that. We are trying to reach a consensus with West News Magazine and the leader. Then, as I said earlier, we used the resources we had. It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal. I just thought of it. No, I'm not against it. I said I needed to post it and participate in the survey. Because a lot of people are reading it. Yes. Again, I'm saying this to waste your time. We are in the 23rd round. Yes. We are trying to reduce it to get more details. I don't want to say that I just fulfilled a duty. If that was the intention, the planning department would have conducted the survey itself. It was just a normal one. But we used a professional, a person who has worked in a good way before we believed, and a person who is sure that he will get a survey result that I can use with confidence in the eyes of the department. You don't have to be a burden to everyone. Do you remember that survey, Teresa? Thank you, Doctor. I would like to say one more thing about what Rambo talked about.
And, there is a calculator. We can use AI and AI to calculate. That is, if you tell me to use population science, PIN codes, and things that started with age, it will calculate it. It's a simple calculator. I don't know much about computers, so I like to do it by hand. Therefore, if we process it, we will get a little more clear idea of what's in it. Let's see what's in it based on what we've got. Let's multiply it. The second thing I have to say is about the eleventh question. This is just an opinion. When I read this, I felt very sad. Because 20 people. Let me see if I can find it again. 11th question. 20 people who used their luck or completely used their luck. It hurt my heart very much.
There was a question about how long you have been living here. Do you have any connection with the answers of that group and others? The reason is that I have been living here for 35, 25, 30 years, and I must have had different experiences from a person who moved here 5 or 10 years ago. The person who moved here saw us using the mud and trees here as bulldozers. That's why we have a different view from a person who has only been living here for 5 years. I can do it myself and hand it over to the city council. Let me do it. Certainly, sir. Any questions? First of all, thank you for this survey. I think this is possible according to the current statistics, right? It made the city dwellers proud of the response we received. Especially when we did the ceremony one and a half years ago. I was only surprised that the community centre had played a major role last time. In many places, it felt like a demonstration. People wanted to play with the children, and there was a lot of discussion about this in our meetings. Funding initiatives to make that a reality should be taken forward. But I think the other thing is whether we are focusing more on unnecessary small things. I don't think it's the restaurants that should be discussed here. If we say to the Financial Development Department that restaurants are the priority, let them decide where the restaurants should be. I doubt if it is right to suggest things like this in the master plan. That's why I don't think our goal was to change everything. I think it was to make the necessary changes. We have done well in that regard. Even though it is unfortunate, I live in the town centre. Their watershed is not an issue. There is a good drainage system in front of my house. That's what people think. Everyone thinks about their small world. It would be nice to think about everything. But when I participate in a survey, everyone is worried about their needs. If you can participate in the survey of the majority of people living in areas with watershed areas, it will be possible to participate in the survey. But I think that this group has done a great job in preventing the activities, things, and unnecessary things. But I don't think the responsibility of this group is to decide what the restaurants we need are. Restaurants are good. We need parking. That's good too. Let's see if Asutranav and Soning will work for it, and if the general public will talk about it. So we can talk about special things all night. But we need a larger area. Let's go a little further. Very good, Vicky.
First of all, thank you for this survey. I think you did a good job. I have a few more things to say. First of all, Mr. Rambo, let me say this again. I believe this is a group that represents the whole of Wildwood. Although most of the surveys came from the town centre, we have succeeded in representing the people we live and work with to a certain extent. I think both the surveys and the system in Tamil are showing it. The survey of 800 people and the survey of 300 people in Tamil were not much different. I have some opinions about that. In terms of voting, these are the things in Vicky's survey. I believe that the main reason why more people did not participate in the surveys was that they did not know about this. The reason was that Joe Garitano, who is known to be active in the media, had posted on Facebook after he was elected, that the Wildwoods had disappeared for a while. It was one of the places where more people came to vote. Everyone knew about that election. Everyone knew when the election was. So let me say that I don't have a solution now. I want to say that I have a solution, but I don't. However, we have to find a way to reach more people. I don't think social media alone is enough. I know that our post office system may seem old-fashioned at times, but we can come up with something that reaches every mailbox. Then I think the people who pay attention to what is happening here are those who live in this area. I learned about Wildwood when we were building our island. We had a lot of problems that day, so I called Wildwood as a representative. That's how I learned things and got involved in this. Like they said about the aquifers, I don't think many people know about these things. If I hadn't been in the planning and zoning, if I hadn't wanted to know a little about the genesis, I wouldn't have been able to know this either. I can't believe that the people I work with are cutting down all the trees in Wildwood. But they don't understand that it's an old-fashioned method. That was the town center. We're not cutting down trees in places that aren't there. So I think our farmers need to be more aware. I don't have a solution for this, but not only for those in the middle of Wildwood, but also for those in other parts of the country, if we can provide education, we can get more responses from those places. That's all I have to say. Thank you.
Thank you, Deborah.
Yes, I'm calling Vicky. Because some of the people who don't even know that the survey is going on have given me some feedback. Another thing is that they don't have to do the second thing they gave back to the first survey, because they think that our intention is to do the same thing again. Generally, I think this survey is the best, so I'm not blaming you. No, but some of the words were a little confusing. Even for me, who works with the city, it felt like that. There are differences in people's minds about where the town center is. Most people think that this is the town center. They don't know how far the town center is until Wildwood Middle School. They don't know how far the town center is. There is always a difference in the needs of those who live in the 109th and 109th floors of the town center. I don't think this is the last answer. We are at the destination, I think. I did some answers in the first and second surveys there, and there was a slight difference in the sentences. So there is a slight change in the answer, but when I did both answers. We are at the destination. Everyone should not ask everyone where you are staying. But when we put both together, I think it represents what we are doing. I think we are in the right direction. It's like a map. Like you said, we don't have to include all the small things in it. It's a map. I think it's a survey that makes sure that we are in the right direction when we put both together. Then again, out of the things related to culture, 109 are less educated, and others are not aware of where the town centre is. Probe Yes, I fully agree with what Ms. Halfray said.
I did not say that this was not a useful thing, but I need a DAT to help me make good decisions, and it will be helpful to more intelligent citizens. I think it's easy to make people aware. I'm not saying that people can't understand anything. I think we can make it easy even if there are other obstacles. As they suggested, it is very important in the mayoral election. I think that if we do it better, a group of people will know what is needed for the city. Otherwise, not only the opinions of a group of people, but also whether it represents it or not. The reason is that this brings us back to what I said earlier, that is, we don't need more technology, but we need more facilities. If people know a little more, it will be good. Questions. Anyway, that's all. I started a discussion that I did not intend. After 18 months of discussions like this, I think this survey gave us a good feedback. We were on the right track. I'm happy about that. When I read the comments, I felt very proud. One person's salary is the salary of another person. You know that, right? Then that $305. I think the number of people who responded was because they were more interested and interested in the city. If the survey continued for two more weeks, it would have been 15 to 20 more people who responded. In fact, those who were interested and those who wanted to say it, said it all. As Vince said, we are not here to choose restaurants or restaurants. But overall, I think we did a good job in the beginning. Then I am very satisfied. Teresa. Yes, I thank you for everything you did for this. You did a lot of hard work.
You did it again. We really appreciate what you did. Yes. If my opinions seem to be negative, it is about the survey, not about you or what you did. But it would be nice if the people who are most aware of the city, i.e., the staff, the standing committees, and the council, participated in this survey. Then we can understand how those who know things think from various perspectives. This is for us. Let's see if it is a dynamic agreement obtained from the public. Then we can understand that this is not the place of those who objected. If we think back to what many teams have suggested, I think... This is our job today. Are you reflecting this survey as to where we have been for the past 18 months?
I think that's a correct thing. I believe that's the way it is. That's what we have to move forward with. I was thinking about this. I don't mean to make a big fuss. But let's talk about it quickly. I'll start. I represent Ward 2. I have a relationship with Ward 2. I know what's going on in Ward 2. I know what people in Ward are thinking. This survey is very accurate as a part of that community. What's your problem? What I have in my town centre area is a combination of my desire for restaurants and beauty. It is clear from the bottom of my heart. Clouds. I think this is right. Gym. Waves. Microphones. Microphones. Yes. I think we have done our best in what we have done. Thank you, sir. Ed. Do you think we have completed it?
Vicky, Ward 2. I think this is good.
April.
I'm pretty sure I'm in Ward 3. I'm sorry, you caught me off guard. Scott Otenbergs. Is that a Ward 3? Yes. Okay, see, I'm paying attention. Yes. Even though I haven't fully read all the opinions in my pin code, I feel like I'm getting it back from what I read last night. Excellent. My Ward 5.
Ward 5. I think my friends and the residents are thinking about what this represents. We are in a situation where we are both apart. We are not a complete city centre. We are not a complete village. We are in a situation where we are both apart. Deborah.
Okay. I am in Ward 6. I think the area I am in is completely connected to the situation. Watersheds are very important. As April said, there are people who ask, what are watersheds? Many do not know things. It would be good if the society was more aware. I understand that people have a well-known life and they have more things. So I think what we did here is very good. I would like more people to participate in the survey.
Okay, perfect. Scott. Most of you who are in Ward 6 know what a watershed is. Because there are septic tanks and canals there. Also, there were cases against the Missouri American Company a long time ago. That's why we covered it completely. Okay, perfect. Lawrence. Yes, I am in Ward 4. I think the survey is correct for the things we have done over the past few months through Watershed. Teresa. Yes.
I am in Ward 1. There are only very few urban areas in Ward 1. Some parts only, but most of us are villagers. Then, If more people had participated in the survey from Ward 1, more details about parks, weather, situation, watershed and soil would have been obtained. Yes.
Yes, I am a V6. And as a resident of a V6, I fully use everything that Ms. Coleman said. That is what we think. I believe we have a very good plan. There is no doubt about that. This is a very strong one. As a decision-maker at the Council, I try to take everyone's needs into account at Wildwood. This is a very challenging job, because many of them are definitely up to 60 to 40 or 55 to 45 years of experience. I am very interested. I don't want to make everyone happy. I want to make the most of the people happy or make the most of the people do the right thing. This is very challenging. That was the basis of the decision I made about DADA. This committee has not made any mistakes in making the plan. I want to make that clear. But we have a good plan. It would have been better if we had more details. Next time when we conduct a survey, we should try to create more conscious people. Give us more details. Make it clear what a watershed is. Give us some suggestions or things to consider. I will stop. Thank you. Thank you Deborah.
I am V5. We have a watershed problem in V5. This was a big story. A watershed. I think we have reached a decision by adding these two surveys. I think we have solved those problems. We have created a method. The residents have to decide how to implement that method. Commissions, committees, councils. I have a little interest in the publicity of this. Because I know many people who don't know this until I say it. The 800 people who participated in the first survey thought that the second survey was the same. That's why they didn't give it back. We don't know why few people participated. The method we have prepared is good. Others will be convinced of how it works. Good. Joe, I propose a motion to move the survey forward in this way. It represents the opinion of the majority of the committee. I support the motion. Those in favour? I support. Those against?
Those who do not vote? The motion is passed. Thank you, Miss Ward. Thank you. Debbie, you did a great job. We thank you for your time. We especially thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you. Thank you. I'm happy about it. Okay. You may not like what I'm about to say next, which is related to some of the things you said. Next week, we would like to recommend an open house to the department planning staff and anyone who is interested in coming to the CET Hall or any other decision-making place. As per the meeting schedule for the next two weeks, the open house will not be able to run next week due to the busy schedule. On September 7, the day after Labor Day, we intend to hold an open house before the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. There are some reasons. I know that I can participate in the Planning and Zoning Commission. According to the Constitution and according to our local Charter, they are the ones who accept the method. So, if they participate in the Open House, I think it is very important that they can hear the opinions of those who come directly. However, since this is very close to public hearing, it may not be a good start. So, looking from that point of view, I think this is the most important thing that can be given to the government now. That would be our last meeting. No, actually, we are coming back on August 25th as the last round. Yes, we discussed it. I couldn't come there that day. So I thought we should change it. Okay, I understood. No. The comments from the open house will go to the Planning and Zoning Commission. You don't have to do that. This is another disadvantage of this process, but this is the best explanation I can give because we don't have time. Can you explain one thing about the open house? What does it mean? Okay, if we win, a good group of people will come to the CET Hall. They will be there to provide information about the plan, surveys, and other details. We will be there as the planning department. If there are any questions, we will try our best to answer them. If there are any changes or changes to be made in the plan, we will address them. All of this will be taken over by the Planning and Zoning Commission. After that, a decision will be made with them. You had informed about a public hearing, right? A general hearing is a necessary requirement for the Commission to begin its discussions and actions. Can you combine those two meetings? No, I think an open house is a more useless opportunity. We had done that in the case of Partner Park. People only wanted to come and see the plan. We thought of food and water. However, my interpretation is not that good. They don't have enough days to do it in the coming weeks. So, I'm sorry.
Vicky Okay, for your open house, I think I should put all of Melanie's paintings and the big flowers that I like. It would be an opportunity to put boards that give a little bit of information. Do you know what an aquifer is? We can put things like that there. That would be a good start to your education. Melani, I won't try to trouble you too much, but I liked your boards. By the time you reach the open house on the 8th floor, will the information be available to the community? At that time, you can tell them that this is a miracle. I don't like this part. Please check there.
Over the years, we have added the things that you have completed to the city's website, but we have not done so well in showing it. One of the reasons for this is that we are now in our 23rd meeting, and this is in the 19th month. So, the effort and interest for open house and public hearing is to stop. We have to act accordingly. My goal is to bring those details back to the front page of the website. We will bring those details out through all possible means. As part of the discussion at the upcoming meeting, the CET Council is asking for permission to send an email. Not ten years ago, in the first two updates, we sent emails to each house individually. That's a small thing. Now it's more of a small thing, but there's no other way. Since everyone is using email, we have conducted a review on how to use mailer. Then we will give you the email price. But that will be a general information and will affect your privacy. So I don't know how this will work out. That's all I'm saying. We are mostly here every night in the coming weeks. The open house is closed. The most appropriate day for the open house is September 7th. Are you expecting a delivery? Say yes. If you don't mind, it will definitely reduce my doubt. Okay. Comments are welcome. No one should do it right away. Teresa.
How much does it cost to mail to everyone?
We have about 14,000 families. If we use bulk mail, it won't be safe. That's why it's better to do first-class mailing. That's why it costs less than a dollar. Then 14,000 dollars. Are you going to send a full email or just a QR code card? Yes, definitely. But even now, I'm sure, that such a final email costs about $78,000. Yes, that's what you're saying. Deborah. Yes?
Yes, I meant to suggest that everyone should have something to do. Like planning and zoning, it is not written in small letters in the back, but written more clearly about the meeting. Before coming to that, there is a link to look at the website, or you can look at it and let them know if they are coming or not. One of the things we discuss the most is the opinion of the public. This is a city of residents, so we do it. Therefore, the only way to get a good public opinion is to send mail to each house. If you think about other projects, $7000 is not a big deal. I'm not saying that in general. I think the most important thing is to listen to the opinions of the people. That's why mailing is a good idea, but it has to be very clear. Small letters or drawings are not allowed. Also, you have to provide a link to look at it in person. Certainly, when talking about open house and public hearing, you will have the opportunity to check the materials here. If you have any comments, you can send it through the website or through the email made for this. Even if no one is able to participate in the open house, we would like to make it easy for you to let us know your opinions. So, done!
When someone tells me about the QR code, I will be very attentive to what they say. We tested it at our nearest HOA. Only 30 out of 190 families were able to scan the QR code. So, done! Don't expect too much that our people will be able to use it. I'm happy that he said that. He didn't say it to us. Deborah, I think that's how you are.
When was the next Gazette going to be released? Okay, um... Was it late for that?
This year, we are releasing only one Gazette. It was announced ahead of the April election. We intend to do something in the form of electronics. Oh, I understand. We can make it available.
I really like getting that cassette. I keep it in the coffee table for a long time. I think it's a good place to make the villagers aware of many things. Earlier, we used to do it on each floor four times.
So we do it on the first floor, on the second floor, on the third floor, on the fourth floor, one by one. I like the Gazette. I think I can put things in it. I think the Gazette is like a Dinosaur and like the calendar we've done before. It's an old way, but people are going back to the old ways, that is, to the newspapers.
Joe, you'll get people twice.
Should we make the first hour open house and the second hour public hearing? Everyone will be in the same place, right? Their questions will be answered. Those who are concerned can stand there. We can solve everything. Some employees in the planning department have made such a suggestion. After the open house, ask them to come to the public hearing. Bring food with you. They will come later.
Can you promise me to accept this? I promise to accept the survey. We did that. Okay, then what do we mean here?
A promise for the open house.
Oh yes, that's what I'm promising. I promise to accept the open house.
I'll follow up on what she said. Whatever it is, however it is, I insist. Let's add two meetings together.
It's part of the public hearing planning and zoning meeting. That's one part. That's why we're doing that. That's what he's saying, right? That's what you're saying, right? It will be until the start of the open house planning and zoning. It will be the first part of the public hearing planning and zoning. That's right.
Yes, it will be a continuation. We can have a 5-10 minute interval. But we can bring everyone there. They think that giving feedback from outside will make it part of the business. That's the process, isn't it? So, we have a promise.
Mr. Jackson, that's a promise.
We have a second promise. We are going to organize meetings. We are going to do both. They will both work together one after the other. We got one. I got the second pin too. Everyone agreed.
I have a request. Wait for a minute. Before you vote, one more thing.
No, but before you vote. Okay, go on.
With the permission of Vicky, I'm adding an information card to every house. Do we have the right to do that or should we tell it to someone else? It depends on this. I can do it. That's one thing.
Now you are talking about money, right? It is not something to be kept aside.
I suggest that you don't make a decision on that matter now. I will definitely hand over that agreement to our CET Administrator. But I don't think $78,000 is a big deal. I don't think it will happen, but it has to go to the next level. The person who handles our budget, that is, us. Sit down. Okay, sir. Let's talk. When is our usual P&Z meeting? Is it on the 7th? Yes, because it's Labor Day, it's Wednesday. Wednesday. Then we won't have a meeting on the 8th. Instead of the 8th, we will hold it on the 7th. No. It's Wednesday after Labor Day. I'm not sure if it's the wrong date. Oh, you said it. Then is it the 8th date? The 8th date. That is, when a normal P&Z meeting takes place, we run the open house. Correct. Oh, good. I understand. Thank you. I'm sorry for disturbing you. No problem. I thought there were two meetings. I don't need anyone to come here on Labor Day. Okay, then we have a promise. You also have a promise that you won't regret.
So you have to think twice. If no one is replying, you have to go back to the old way. We are stopping sending mails. That's right.
You are replying. Okay, do you know if anyone is replying? Okay, let's start from you. No, no. You have to send a mailer to all homes. Joe said it would be good. But he's not sure if it will pass. Let's make a decision. Let's vote on it. Is that what we really have to do? According to Robert's rules, I think you're responsible for doing that. So I'll move on. If this group is interested in following it, that's good. I'm just saying that it's not a decision. That's not what it is. Okay. Show your love. They showed it. Okay. Twelve. Is anyone responding? No. Okay, Vedakati has been defeated. Now we are going back to the old practice of uniting meetings. Who are the supporters? Opponents? One person. All of them have left. Everything is fine. The practice has passed. Today's last meeting is on the 25th of August. By then, you will have a part of the plan in your hands. And we are working on it. So, we will try to give it to you at least a week in advance. In the last meeting, you will remember that you allowed the bars, right? That's what you're going to see. The last line of the bars you agreed to and the last line I expect will be in it. If it is acceptable, it will be the last meeting of this group. Thank you. Thank you, Deborah. Yes.
I haven't seen any announcement about the changes in the master plan. Do we have to do that? Have we ever done that before? Joe? Meteor, can you fix that? I'm sorry.
The people who needed the changes in the master plan came. I haven't seen it announced anywhere. Is it to be announced? Have we announced it before? Are there changes in the land use departments?
Yes, it depends on which government or which plan it is. But five people came and asked for the master plan, right? That's right. Yes, have we announced what they need and what the vote was?
Okay, we have announced those changes to the Planning and Parks Committee. After each meeting of the CET Council, they receive updates in their monthly meeting. As part of the open house, we will make it clear and I think there will be five more items in the public hearing. Okay, thank you.
Vicky, are you okay?
