Description
Economic Development Advisory Committee Meeting 011223
A
A
Okay,
Arturo
Dominguez.
A
A
B
B
B
B
I
can
give
a
little
update
if
you
guys
want
it.
Yeah
I
put
together
an
update
to
the
handbook,
the
Apostle.
You
see
their
handbook
and
it
is
on
by
council
meeting
for
the
17th
to
allow
for
advisory
committees
to
have
a
quorum
through
virtual
presence,
as
well
as
physical
presence
since
you're,
not
actually
governed
by
Toma
through
the
code.
It's
just
we've
imposed
it
through
the
policy
procedure
handbook
so
hopefully,
after
the
17th.
B
If
that
passes,
I
think
it
will
after
the
17th,
if
you're
present
virtually
you
are
counted
as
president
for
Forum
purposes
and
you
don't
have
to
have
a
physical
presence
for
foreign
purposes.
Virtual
presence
will
come
so,
okay,
so
so
we're
not
running
a
quorum.
Then.
C
So
we
can't
move
to
the
approval
of
the
minutes,
so
we're
relaxing
some
comments.
No.
C
In
front
of
you
and
that's
gonna,
be
tab.
Number
four.
B
This
is
the
current.
B
The
current
draft
of
what
I've
put
together
for
for
you
all,
it
is
just
a
draft
and
it
does
require
I
think
url's
input,
especially
the
highlighted
something
that's
in
blue
everything.
That's
highlighted
in
yellow
is
pretty
much
standard
editions
right
now
as
an
advisory
Council.
According
to
the
code,
you're
made
up
of
12,
so
I
reduced
that
to
nine
and
like
I,
said
everything,
that's
in
yellow
is
pretty
much
standard
of
most
advisory
committees.
B
This
section,
that's
highlighted
in
blue,
is
really
the
the
powers
and
the
duties
of
edac
and
that
I
did
my
best,
but
really
I.
Think
that
needs
to
come
from
you
all
and
so
I
think
that
section,
if
you
guys
want
to
discuss
it.
B
Language
change
language
that
that
really
is
probably
the
core
section
for
you
all
and
the
rest
of
them.
I'm
sure
you
would
might
have
input
and
changes,
but
but
that
section
right
there
is,
is
really
the
the
biggest
part
that
I
I
need
assistance
in
for
drafting,
because
that's
that's
kind
of
the
core
of
what
you
guys
do
and
how
you
want
to
do
it.
Oh.
D
E
They
wanna,
they
wanna,
appoint
their
their
people
right.
So
in
here
you
have
all
membership
survey
for
your
term
of
office.
So
then,
if,
if
that
council
person
wants
to
put
one
of
their
people,
then
I
mean
this
thing
says:
hey
this
I'm
in
it
for
four
years
based
on
this.
So
how
does
that?
How
does
that
work.
B
That
again,
that's
how
most
of
the
The
Advisory
committees
work.
Since
the
council
members
are
appointed
they're
not
appointed
there
they're
elected
for
four
years,
and
it's
staggered
already.
So
you
have
four
council
members
who
get
elected
and
then
in
two
years
four
and
more
so
it
creates
a
a
staggered.
E
E
B
Next
section
says
in
the
event
that
a
member's
position
becomes
vacant
due
to
death
discontinuance
of
the
council
member
develop
really
to
serve.
Are
the
council
members
in
capacity
or
unwillingness
to
serve
or
for
any
reason
whatsoever?
So
anything
the
city
council
then,
will
fill
the
vacancy
for
that
new
council
member
by
appointing
a
new,
a
new
advisory
committee
member,
so
who,
if
for
any
reason
we
lose
a
Committee
Member.
Then
whatever
the
new
council
member
is
they're
going
to
appoint
a
new
committee
committee.
H
E
G
B
C
Yes,
okay,
because
at
that
point
the
council,
member
of
that
council
member
is
re-elected.
You
know
it
is
their
position
whether
they
want
to
reappoint
individual
that
they
had
originally
appointed
or
appoint
someone
yeah.
B
A
B
To
appoint
a
new
individual
or
if
they
don't
appoint
someone
just
the
individual
that
was
previously
appointed,
that
individual
will
continue
to
serve
they're
supposed
to
hold
over
until
a
new
person
is
appointed
and
that
is
covered
under
the
the
priority
of
the
priority
procedure.
Handbook
that
handbook
does
cover
that
that
time
span
where
a
person
is
not
appointed,
but
they
are
supposed
to
be
appointing
a
person
every
time,
they're
elected
if
they're
re-elected.
E
A
E
F
B
But
we
can,
while
I'm
searching
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
want
to
take
the
go
through
the
document
today
section
by
section.
We
can
do
it's
not
that
long.
It
is
it's
three
pages
okay,
so
we
can
do
that
today
and
while
we're
going
on
to
the
next
section
I'll,
look
that
up
the
that
part
up.
Is
there
any
other
questions
with
regard
to
the
term.
F
E
D
B
F
So
there's
a
law
there's
a
procedure
and
then
there's
our
governing
yeah
process:
yeah
they're
not
talking
to
each
other.
We.
B
B
B
All
the
Committees
that
I
guess
that
was
the
the
purpose
of
it
equity,
and
so,
when
I
made
the
changes
to
the
the
Quorum
section
of
it,
it's
still
keeping
with
the
spirit
of
the
Texas
open
meeting
Act,
but
allowing
for
some.
B
Can't
change
it
absolutely.
This
was
just
me
taking
I,
looked
at
all
of
the
advisory
committees
that
we
have
and
I
took
the
most
generalized
language,
Julian.
A
So
if
I
understand
2-193,
chairperson
and
other
officers,
so
we
don't
Alex
subcommittee
members
I
appoint
them.
Okay,
I
can
put
that.
No!
No!
That's!
No!
That's
a
question!
Oh
okay,
yeah
I'm,
trying
to
understand
seeds,
I,
wouldn't
see
you
sing.
B
A
C
C
D
B
C
And
shall
continue
to
serve
until
a
new
third
person
is
elected
by
the
majority
of
the
board.
Now.
E
B
Yeah,
so
you
don't
have
to
look
at
that
in
there.
That
can
just
be
a
policy
and
procedure.
You
guys
abide
by
within
your
own
group,
so
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
listed
unless
you
want
it
to
be
listed
to
have.
It
would
just
force
you
to
have
a
vice
chair
from
now
going
forward,
always
well
because
well,
I
I
do
think
it's
good
to
have
a
vice
chair
in.
B
We
can
put
the
exact
same
language
that
we
do
for
the
chairperson,
as.
C
B
Okay
and
then
on
B,
it
says
the
advisory
Council
May
establish
other
such
offices
as
the
advisory
Council
may
be
necessary
and
then
see
the
advisory
Council
May
establish
by
resolution
any
such
other
committees
as
it
deems
necessary.
The
chairperson
shall
appoint
the
members
and
chairperson
of
all
such
committees.
B
B
B
B
The
director
shall
cost
be
posted
at
City
Hall,
a
notice
of
the
date
and
time
of
the
meetings
for
the
agenda.
Texas,
open
media
act
right
now,
I
believe
that
is
medium
doing
that
or
because
she's
here
right,
yeah.
Okay,
yeah.
B
Okay,
so
B
says
the
advisory
Council
may
elect
officers
at
its
first
regular,
scheduled
monthly
meeting
and
thereafter
at
its
first
meeting
after
the
expiration
of
12
months
and
may
hold
annual
elections
on
the
anniversary
date
of
the
elections
or
as
near
as
possible
to
the
anniversary
date
of
the
election
of
each
succeeding
year.
Thereafter,
The
Advisory
Council
may
elect
any
such
other
number
of
officers
as
it
deems
appropriate.
B
This
part
I,
had
a
question
on
because,
like
I
said
a
lot
I'm
taking
the
language
from
a
lot
of
the
advisory
committees,
but
the
advisors
committees
are
being
appointed
on
a
staggered
basis
and
so
I'm
not
really
sure
how
you
determine,
and
you
would
have
to
tell
me
what
is
the
first
meeting
if
you're
having
these
staggered
elections.
What
do
you
consider
the
first
meeting
I'm
just
curious,
because
I,
don't
I,
think.
B
H
A
C
E
C
B
Quorum
for
any
meeting
shall
consist
of
a
majority
of
five
voting
council
members
in
accordance
with
so
there
I
put
the
priority
procedures
handbook
for
the
City
of
Laredo,
because
I'm
updating
that
and
I
didn't
wanted
to
say
the
Texas
open
meetings
act,
because
then
it
would
require
the
physical
quorum
so
I'm,
referring
it
to
the
proprietary
procedures
handbook
so
that
you
don't
have
to
have
the
physical
form
and.
D
B
B
This
was
just
because,
from
my
understanding
is
that
Medium
is
Right
Now
setting
the
agendas
any
member
of
the
economic
development
advisory
Council,
either
voting
or
non-voting,
shall
have
the
right
to
place
any
proper
item
of
business
on
the
agenda
by
placing
a
written
request
with
the
director
of
The
Economic
Development
Department
prior
to
the
posting
of
the
notice
of
the
meeting,
as
required
by
law.
That's
just
my
understanding
of
what's
happening
right
now.
Is
that
everyone's
sending
them
any
items
to
perfect.
E
C
C
C
That's
an
item
for
discussion,
not
the
committee.
You
know
like
that's
why
we're
reviewing
this
so
that
we
can
discuss
and
see?
What's
you
know
the
proper
I
guess
structure
that
we
should
Implement
well.
B
H
B
A
Yeah
I
just
like
to
say
this:
this
isn't
any
anything
directed
towards
you
Miriam,
but
there
have
been
directors
or
situations
with
committees
where
essentially
the
Committees
were
controlled
by
the
directors
and
I.
Don't
think
I
think
what
really
should
happen
is
we
should
work
closely
with
our
directors
and
I
think
at.
B
Times
when
you
said,
there's
not
enough
time
to
this
and
that
I
obviously
listened
to
Miramonte
but
to
to
have
this,
this
actual
rule
that
can
basically
muzzle
the
edac
I
can't
agree
with
it.
I
do
have
in
here.
H
B
That
the
advisory
Council
shall
have
the
right
to
place
any
proper
item
of
business
on
the
agenda,
so
maybe,
instead
of
of
writing
at
the
discretion
of
the
director
just
to
leave
that
language
in
there,
because
that
does
leave
some
room
for
some
discretion
because
they're
we
do
get
at
least
in
the
legal
department.
B
D
C
For
at
the
at
the
committee
level,
I
feel
that
I'm
sometimes
as
well,
there
are
items
that
maybe
are
not
really
under
the
jurisdiction.
If
you
will
of
this
committee,
you
know
maybe
there's
an
item
that
really
belongs
to
the
I'm.
C
C
E
B
Don't
have
in
here,
but
it's
I
have
that
it's
just
that
they
have
the
right
to
place
any
item
that
as
long
as
it's
proper,
so
I
don't
have
the
language
of
anybody's
discretion.
So
I
think
that
this
tracks
the
same
language
as
it
doesn't
track.
Planning
and
Zoning
I
didn't
use
planning
and
zoning
committee
because
they're
a
different
type
of
committee.
B
They
are
governed
by
different
laws,
then
advisor
other
advisory
committee,
so
I
didn't
model
after
there.
So
I
don't
know
what
theirs
says.
But
right
now,
I
don't
have
that
language
in
here
that
it's
at
anybody's
discretion.
A
J
So
I
agree
with
Miriam
just
for
the
record.
I
just
want
you
all
to
know
that,
ultimately,
you
all
are
an
advisory,
not
a
commission,
so
so
the
station
there
so
so
yeah
I
know
it's
good.
You
know
Julian
that
you
have
a
concern
with
this
as
a
current
chairman
But.
Ultimately,
this
committee
needs
to
work
closely
with
that
director
to
be
able
to
determine
what's
proper
in
the
scope
of
you.
All's
work
as
a
committee.
C
And
if
I
may
add-
and
this
is
you
know-
for
Mr
chairman-
the
committee
members
were
looking
at
all
possible-
you
know
venues
in
order
to
really
really
have
something
that
can
help
us
move
forward
and
organize
collaborative
effort.
I
know
this
structure
was
probably
not
reviewed
in
the
past,
but
we're
trying
and
we
understand
there
are
concerns,
but
we
will
I
guess
for
that
particular
section.
B
Any
member
with
four
unexcused
absences
in
a
calendar
year
beginning
each
January
and
ending
each
December
shall
automatically
forfeit
his
or
her
term
of
office,
and
the
city
council
shall
appoint
a
new
member
to
complete
his
or
her
unexpired
terminal
office.
Any
member
who
knows
in
advance
that
he
or
she
will
be
unable
to
attend
a
meeting
shell
so
notify
the
chairperson
at
the
earliest
possible
time
of
the
reason
of
the
absence.
The
committee
shall
determine
the
reasonableness
of
the
acceptability
of
the
of
any
absence
and
shall
excuse
any
absence
and
considered
any
absence.
B
B
E
C
D
H
F
C
E
A
I'd
like
to
make
a
recommendation
sure
and
I'd
like
everyone
right
now,
I
most
of
the
time,
or
at
least
for
me,
that's
why
I
want
to
hear
from
everyone
else,
the
only
time
I've
ever
had
to
actual
Miss
meetings
or
because
I
have
to
be
somewhere
else,
but
I've
always
never
had
a
scheduling
conflict
because
we're
given
these
schedules
early
on
yeah,
so
I'd
like
to
recommend
that
we
cut
it
from
four
to
three.
Now
that
we're
allowed
to
do
it
online,
because,
essentially,
what
we're
saying
with
four
is
out
of.
E
A
So
I
say
we
don't
allow
any
exceptions.
It's
three
total
so
did
I
understand
this
correctly
that
you
said
even
special
home.
B
That
sentence
taking
out
the
last
sentence
about
the
any
member
who
knows
in
advance
taking
up
that
whole
sentence.
A
I
so
I
have
a
question
if,
for
example,
you
know
we
went
through
this
round
of
meeting
or
interviewing
all
the
candidates
for
the
economics
development
director.
If
we
vote
at
an
actual
meeting
to
set
an
additional
meeting,
is
that
considered
a
special
call
meeting
or
is
a
special
call
meeting
any
meeting?
That's
called
outside.
A
Let's
say
you
know:
Mr
Ron
Bean
tells
us
today,
hey,
we
have
applicants
coming
in
and
we'll
be
ready
for
the
next
economic
development
director
interviews
by
next
week.
If
we
voted
today
to
turn
that
into
an
additional
baby
deck
that
wouldn't
be
a
special
called
meeting,
it.
A
That,
if
we
can
write
an
exception
in
there,
that
that
changes
the
like,
if
we
vote
in
a
meeting
to
add
a
special
event
that
still
Falls
within
the
absentee,
because
I'd
like
to
give
the
example
when
we
met
when
we
set
that
schedule
for
the
economic
development
director
interview
process,
we
pulled
the
entire
group
and
we
had
like
a
unanimous
consent
on
a
schedule
and
we
still
lacked
a
lot
of
individuals
showing
up
to
that
meeting.
I,
don't
think
an
example
like
that
should
be
excused,
especially
in
those
circumstances.
What.
E
C
F
C
Yes,
I
think
Mr,
Alexander
and
Julian,
and
everyone
else
connected
attention
is
a
regular
call
meetings
of
the
economic
development
advisory.
That's
when
we
apply
the
role.
I
see
your
point
Julian
on
the
special
meetings,
but
I
think
that
can
be.
You
know
discussed
at
the
community
level.
Whenever
there's
an
instance
where
there's
a
special
meeting
or
attendance
couldn't
should
be
mandatory,
then
we
can
at
any
given
point
as
a
committee
if
there
is
a
special
meeting
that
we
need
to
hold
as
a
committee
vote,
but
attendance
has
to
be
mandatory.
C
A
J
J
That
allowed
to
talk
about
you
know.
The
exercise
you
went
through
last
time
was
pretty
discouraging,
probably
yeah
I
expressed
my
discourage
how
I
felt
about
it
and
and
I
discussed
it
with
the
city
manager.
We're
gonna
wait
just
an
FYI
just
to
keep
going
forward.
I
know
this
isn't
an
agenda
item,
but
you
brought
it
up.
We're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
let
the
new
city
manager
come
in
and
Beetle
them
to
to
decide.
J
If
they're
going
to
go
back
out
to
committee,
for
you
all
to
interview
the
candidates
at
this
time,
I'll
be
transparent
with
you,
I'll
tell
you
that
there's
only
two
qualified
candidates
for
that
position
that
have
applied
and
so
we're
about
a
month
away
from
a
city
manager
and
the
current
city
manager
felt
like
it
was
probably
appropriate
so
that
that
was
the
manager
taught
us
the
process
that
he
or
she
might
want
to.
J
A
C
B
Yeah,
okay,
a
member
of
The
Advisory
Council,
may
be
removed
from
office
before
the
end
of
his
or
her
tournament
office
by
action
of
the
city
council
for
any
good
cause.
Oh
here,
and
in
particular
for
any
of
the
following
causes:
one
failure
to
attend
properly
to
the
duties
of
the
economic
development
advisory
Council
or
to
failure
to
comply
with
any
of
the
provisions
of
this
division.
B
If
a
member
is
removed
from
office
that
members
position
shall
be
filled
in
the
manner
provided
for
in
this
division,
which
is
reappointment
by
the
City
Council
secretary
at
any
time
at
any
time-
and
this
is
good
from
the
priority
procedure
handbook-
a
record
shall
be
kept
of
all
G
is
a
record
shall
be
kept
of
all
proceedings
and
minutes
shall
be
delivered
to
the
city,
manager
and
city
council
as
soon
as
possible
after
each
meeting
I.
Is
that
what
you
guys
I?
Don't
know
how
you
handle
the
minutes?
No.
B
It
is
but
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
it's
required,
so
I
I
wasn't
sure
how
you
I
think
I
just
need
from
you
guys
how?
How
are
you
handling
minutes,
who's,
keeping
record
of
them.
B
G
And
they're
submitted
by
annually
to
the
city
secretary's
office
that
gets
published
to
city
council.
B
Okay,
let
me
write
that
I'll
profits
will
be
kept
through
the
preceding
minutes
and.
C
B
It's
part
of
the
priority
for
teachers
too.
I
didn't
look
into
that
part.
I
was
just
taking
that
one
from
the
other
advisory
committees
and
I
wasn't
sure
how
you
guys
were
handling
it.
It
seemed
like
everybody
was
handling
that
a
different
way,
and
so
that
one
I
was
just
like
I,
don't
know.
F
D
F
B
And
my
next
page
page,
three:
all
meetings
shall
be
conducted
in
importance
with
the
Roberts
Rule
of
Order
newly
revised
and
the
priority
procedures.
Handbook
of
the
City
of
Laredo
I,
think
I'm,
just
gonna
take
out
the
Roberts
Rule
and
just
in
accordance
with
the
priority
procedures
and
book,
because
it's
just
advisory.
B
B
Section
2-196
advisory
capacity.
The
economic
development
advisory
council
is
discharging
its
duties
enumerated
in
this
division,
Shall
Serve
as
an
serve
in
an
advisory
capacity
that
is
important
to
put
in
here,
because
there
are
different
types
of
committees
like
pnz
and
defining
what
kind
of
committee
you
are
will
determine
what
laws
govern
the
committee.
So
this.
H
B
B
B
B
So
until
I
can
get
access
to
Internet,
we
do
need
to
go
back
to
the
powers
and
duties
so
I'll
just
tell
you
what
I
wrote
and
that'll
get
us
started
on
the
conversation,
but
this
is
definitely
the
the
meat
and
potatoes
of
what
we
have
to
do
today
and
that's
you
know
your
duties
and
powers,
and
so
this
is
kind
of
what
we
talked
about
at
the
other
meeting
of
how
to
make
sure
that
you
guys
are
able
to
stay
relevant
and
that
that
you
don't
get
overpowered.
B
You
keep
having
a
voice
and
creating
a
a
structured
way
to
communicate
between
the
department
and
management
and
the
council
members.
So
I
did
my
best,
but,
like
I
said,
it's
definitely
going
to
need
a
lot
of
tweaking
coming
from
you
guys.
So
this
is
just
a
draft
and
I
you
guys
are
all
welcome
to
change
as
we
go.
This
was
just
the
best
verb
which
I
could
come
up
with.
B
So,
moving
on
a
I
put
the
economic
development
advisory
Council
will
advise
and
make
recommendations
to
the
economic
development
department
on
matters
and
possible
projects
related
to
this
list
was
just
a
list
that
I
know
you
guys
handle
and
it's
not
completely
inclusive
strategic
Economic,
Development
and
growth
within
the
City
of
Laredo
included,
but
not
limited
to
the
neighborhood
empowerment
zones,
comprehensive
planning,
tax,
increment
reinvestment
zones
and
any
other
matters
related
there
too
I
don't
know
what
other
matters
you
all
handle,
or
if
you
want
to
reword
that.
A
B
That,
okay,
this
section
we.
B
G
B
B
So
this
kind
of
just
lists
specifically
the
the
areas
that
you
you
deal
with
and
we
could
make
it
just
Broad
and
just
say:
projects
related
to
Economic
Development
and
growth
within
the
City
of
Laredo
and
just
leave
it
at
that.
I
don't
have
to
list
them.
We
don't
have
to
list
them.
B
B
The
City
of
Laredo
is
that.
Does
that
encapsulate
enough?
Is
that
broad
enough
to
describe
we're
on
Top.
C
Seven
I
think
it
does
for
just
remove
and
we'll
leave
it
at
to
strategic
Economic,
Development
and
growth
within
the.
D
I
On
a
and
I
think
what
what
his,
what
the
2017
comp
plan
really
taught
us
was
that
to
look
at
ourselves
as
an
island
is
to
you
know
it's
kind
of
self-defeating,
but
we
regionally.
We
we
play
a
a
very
big
role
as
a
poor.
You
know
in
the
banking
industry,
in
the
health,
Industries
I.
I
C
I
Minor
thing
but
I
would
say,
and
growth
within
and
regionally
around
the
City
of
Laredo.
C
D
D
E
D
I
H
B
B
The
next
meeting,
I
hope
so
yeah,
that's
my
My
Hope
so
be
the
economic
development
department
will
review
recommendations
of
the
economic
development
advisory
Council
and
provide
the
advisory
council
with
two
facts
on
the
feasibility
of
the
recommendation
on
the
recommendations
that
didn't
quite
encapsulate
the
entirety
of
what
we
had
talked
about.
B
B
A
We
be
allowed
under
these
duties
and
Powers
if
we
decided
from
the
agenda
item
and
it
passes
and
then
for
some
reason,
the
economic
development
department
doesn't
want
to
put
that.
Are
we
allowed
to
go
to
our
council
members
to
put
the
item
on
each
other
themselves
because.
A
B
Well,
that's
exactly
the
the
reason
for
the
the
next
section
was
to
create
those
steps.
So
the
next
step
was
to
come
back
to
the
committee
to
to
tell
you
whether
or
not
the
project
was
feasible
and
if
it's
not
so.
This
said
when
recommendation
by
The
Advisory
Council
are
determined
to
not
be
visible
by
The
Economic
Development
Department,
the
chairperson,
shall
send
a
written
request
to
the
director
of
The
Economic
Development
Department,
to
place
an
agenda
item
regarding
the
recommendation
to
be
placed
on
the
following
city
council
meeting
agenda.
B
Both
the
advisory
committee
and
the
economics
of
our
development
department
will
present
on
the
recommendation
before
city
council,
so
that
would
get
it
to
city
council
to
then
ask
for
that
funding
or
Source
or
whatever.
F
C
D
C
D
B
But
there
was
some
difficulty
with
the
previous
director
preventing
some
items
getting
pushed
off
the
ground
or
whatever,
but
this
I
think
putting
it
in
writing
of
having
a
way
to
ensure
that,
if
there's
something
really
important
to
the
committee,
this
we'll
make
sure
that
there's
an
Avenue
to
get
it
to
council.
A
The
problem
that
we
had
before
is
not
that
the
issue
that
things
were
being
stopped
from
being
put
on
Council
it
was
that
what
the
committee
would
then
vote
on
that
that
information,
essentially
what
we
voted
and
why
was
not
actually
being
completely
given
to
council.
So
so
we
had
to
show
up
as
committee
members
to
make
sure
that
how
we
voted
and
why
we
voted
What
Was
Heard
by
by
all
council
members.
So
it
wasn't
that
there
was
any
obviously
prevention,
because
we
can
always
ask
our
council
members
to
put
it
on.
D
B
B
They're
super
old
and
they
have
to
do
with
developing
the
port
they're.
They
don't
really
relate
to
what
you
guys
do
now
at
all,
and
so
we.
B
I
Little
bit
before
my
time,
but
I
I
do
remember
you
know
the
the
adage
of
the
valley
is
eating
our
lunch
and
they
were
and
they
are
and
they
will
be,
and-
and
you
know-
and
it
was
just
like
this
kind
of
like
port
to
port
competition-
that
we
were
having
along
the
border.
Since
then
you
know
they,
you
know,
ports
have
evolved.
Our
geography
has
given
us
a
little
bit
of
a
Competitive
Edge.
I
That's
great
you're,
an
amazing
Port,
but
you
know
just
like
any
other
good
portfolio.
You
should
diversify
your
economy
and
you
don't
need
to
have
all
your
eggs
in
just
one
basket
and
so
to
to
to
your
point:
Amber,
they're,
really
old
and
they
don't
reflect.
D
I
Lot
of
what
either
a
we
have
been
doing
or
be
what
we
should
be
doing
and
so
yeah
we
we
definitely
need
to
kind
of
update
and
I.
Think
you
know,
yeah
every
ordinance
or
every
set
of
bylaws
has
all
of
those,
whereas
right
like,
whereas
you
know
you're
a
committee
supposed
to
wear
it
as
you're,
so
I
think
our,
whereas
is,
could
very
easily.
I
Could
we
could
copy,
cut
and
paste
some
of
those
from
the
comp
plan
which,
by
the
way,
is
now
five
years
old
and
is
overdue
for
an
update
too
I
mean
you
know
since
since
2017
yeah
avocados
are
the
new
gold
and
cold
storage?
Is
you
know
a
big
deal
and
like
there's
a
lot
of
and
that's
you
know,
tip
of
the
iceberg?
You
know
the
healthcare
stuff,
so
there's
a
lot
of
stuff.
I
We
got
to
get
going
on
and
in
our
mission
that
would
parallel
with
the,
whereas
is
in
the
comp
plan
and
and
as
that's
updated,
you
know
we
would.
We
would
be
updating
and
evolving
too
right.
F
Yeah
and
to
add
to
that,
like
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
mentioned
just
today
in
the
Tribune
it
was
announced
by
those
were
more
publicly
for
universities
in
college.
At
least
universities
is
the
status
looking
at
funding
universities,
giving
them
1.7.
F
To
freeze
tuition
fees
because
you're
looking
at
restructuring
the
Eco
development.
What
is
where
is
Texas
going?
Considering
now
that
we
have
a
surplus,
and
so
we
need
to
start
looking
at
those
Avenues
of
where
the
government
is
going,
because
that
may
be
an
inference
of.
F
A
B
Should
that's
why
I
had
included
that
language
in
the
first
paragraph
initially,
because
I
was
trying
to
tie
that
in
I?
Just
didn't
really
know
how,
because
it
did
have
comprehensive
planning
in
there
I.
Just
I
was
struggling
with
how
to
to
stick
it
in
there.
So
I.
I
D
I
F
F
F
A
A
comprehensive
plan
is
is
kind
of
broken
up
into
the
case
is
the
first
thing
you're
supposed
to
do,
though,
is
you're
supposed
to
give
yourself
a
scorecard
and
see
what
you've
completed
in
that
so
typically
like
that
is
like
that's
a
job
it's
to
go
through
all
of
them
and
then
align
it
up
to
see
where
we're
at
and
and
then
essentially
doing
a
whole
revision
of
the
whole
thing.
I
I
can't
possibly
see
one
person
being
able.
I
To
do
no,
maybe
we
don't
but
but
but
to
Midas
Point.
You
know
we're.
We've
been
talking
about
this
for
a
long
time
and
and
not
even
the
first
step,
which
is
this
360
degree
evaluation
top
to
bottom.
You
know
scorecard,
but.
D
I
Sector
public
sector,
like
the
instrument,
hasn't
even
been
drafted,
nor
circulated
and
you're
right
the
steps,
but
the
the
first
step,
which
is
counsel
management
coming
to
council
or
us
coming
to
council
and
saying:
okay
guys,
we
need
to
hold
the
mirror
up
to
our
face.
Where
how
are
we
doing
with
this
2017
comp
plan?
We
were
supposed
to
have
check
these
boxes.
You
know
we
did
it
great.
I
If
we
didn't
do
it
great,
let's
figure
figure
out
where
the
breakdown
is,
but
let's
take
a
look
and
then
we
score
it
and
then
we
you
know,
then
the
the
public
Outreach
goes
back
again
for
the
public
to
say:
hey,
look,
you
know
you
gotta
I,
forget
the
other
steps
Julian.
Maybe
you
have
a
little
pressure
on
your
hard
drive,
but
to
take
a
step
versus
no
steps
is
I.
Think
Myra's,
point
I,
don't
mean
to
put
words
in
your
mouth,
but.
C
F
J
F
Going
to
start
with
here
with
yes
compact
revisions,
and
some
of
them
may
just
need
little
tweaking
and
we
think
oh,
we
need
to
do
all
this
work,
but
it
may
just
be
minor
edits
that
we
just
need
to
do
to
move
forward.
J
So
let's
do
the
subcommittee
first
and
and
then,
if
you
all
feel
like
we're
ready
to
address
it
to
council
I'm
I'm
open
to
it,
I
like
it
I
think
we
need
to
do
that.
C
My
recommendation
would
be
this
a
subcommittee
and
we
can
send
out
an
email
to
all
the
committee
members
and
see
who
wants
to
be
part
of
that
subcommittee,
maybe
plan
or
post
a
special
Workshop
or
meeting
just
to
go
over
the
plan
and
identify,
and
hopefully
like
Mr
Nadine
says
you
know
if
it's
something
that
we
feel
we
can
already
present
to
City
Council
in
February.
We'll
do
that.
F
F
C
B
And
could
I
go
back
really
quick
just
to
write
in
my
notes?
What
were
the
two
things
to
add
to
those
duties
and
Powers?
It
was
the
the
Viva
Laredo
comprehensive
plan
and
what's
the
other
City
Economic.
B
Well,
for
the
yeah
for
the
composition
of
edac
I
think
that
I'll
make
I'll
go
back
and
make
the
changes
that
we
did
today
and
I'll.
Also
look
at
I.
Think
there's
a
couple
things
that
I
have
to
check
into
one
is
the
the
amount
of
meanings
you
can
miss.
It
may
actually
already
be
governed
as
four,
so
we
might
not
be
able
to
reduce
that
to
three.
It
might
be
governed
that
it's
four
and.
B
And
then
I'll
look
at
I'll
look
at
the
other
committee
members.
If
it's
four
I'm
gonna
leave
it
at
four
and.
B
We
can
move
it
forward
and
then
I'll,
look
at
the
how
other
committees
are
addressing
those
agenda,
items
and
I
think
that's
pretty
much
it
other
than
the
changes
that
we
made
and
I'll
just
make.
D
D

C
C
Moving
on
to
and
any
other
comments
or
discussion
on
letter,
a
presentation
items.
I
C
E
B
I
can
do
a
quick,
quick
I've
been
in
all
all
the
meetings
and
just
we
I
think
we're
I
think
we're
almost
there
and
if,
if
you
don't
have
a
copy
of
it,
if
you
guys
can
think
this
is
the.
B
Last
pages
and
the
one
here
is
also
the
most
recent
copy,
and
so
in
it
we
did.
We
did
a
lot
about
we've
done.
A
lot
of
updating
the
biggest
section
is
really
this
first
section
of
how
we're
going
to
designate
the
Nez
zones
because
we've
already
talked
about
it.
The
maps
are
all
kind
of
dead,
and
so
we
looked
at
the
at
Fort,
Worth
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
have
yes,
okay,.
H
B
So
we
looked
at
Fort
Worth
to
try
to
put
like
substantial
ways
to
determine
how
to
create
new
maps,
and
that
will
probably
be
unfortunately
on
edac
to
to
kind
of
review
areas
of
Laredo
to
determine
where
we
should
put
these
new
maps,
and
so
this
kind
of
gave
a
better
outline
of
how
to
do
that.
And
so
this
section
here
is
kind
of
the
the
biggest
section
to
determine
that
and
we
we
based
it
off
of
Fort
Worth,
but
obviously
we
scaled
it
for
Laredo
so
to
determine
those
Maps.
B
Some
of
the
some
of
the
things
that
we
would
look
at
would
be
population,
so
the
area
would
need
to
be
around
2
000
people
in
that
area
or
no
larger
than
one
square
mile,
and
that's
again,
we
scaled
that
down
from
Fort
Worth.
There
was
6
000
people
and
I
think
2.5
square
miles
or
something
a
little
bit
larger
and
then
be
clearly
defined
by
geographical
features.
B
B
Yeah,
so
you
have
some
geographic
features
that
outline
the
boundaries
and
then
the
criteria
for
a
reinvestment
Zone
defined
by
the
code
because
they
have
to
meet
certain
criterias
and
then
any
other
map
analysis
study
that
we
already
have,
because
we
have.
We
have
some
Webb
County
Appraisal
District
maps
that
say
which
areas
are
super
low
income.
We
already
have
some
studies
done
here
for
Laredo
that
kind
of
show
blighted
areas.
So,
whatever
resources
we
already
have,
we
can
take
those
into
consideration
as
well.
So.
E
Okay,
so
like
right
now,
there's
zones.
However,
they
they
weren't
renewed.
So
in
essence,
they're
quote:
unquote,
I
mean
we're,
we've
been
abiding
by
them
or
we've
been
giving
abatements
right,
but
they
need
to
be
every
five
years.
They
need
to
be
renewed,
renewed.
But
if
you
look
at
those
zones-
and
then
you
look
at
this-
and
here
will
they
will
all
of
them
fit
within
this
criteria?
Right
now,
no.
B
D
B
Better
outlined
and
better
planned
still
in
those
same
areas,
you
don't
have
to
pick
different
areas.
We
have
a.
A
E
B
And
the
rest
of
the
changes
within
the
within
the
document
we've
all
pretty
much
gone
over
quite
a
bit.
We
closed
the
Gap
so
that
we're
we're
talking
about
residential
homes
is
anything
from
one
two,
three
or
four
dwellings,
and
then
multi-family
development
would
be
five
or
more
so.
We've
we've
covered
that
we've
covered
just
some
of
the
changes
that
needed
to
happen
that
were
just
misprints
and
things
like
that.
We
took
out
industrial
projects,
so
it's
just
commercial.
B
It's
a
more
industrial
and
we've
increased
a
little
bit
of
the
investment,
but
not
all
of
the
like
continual
investment,
the
design
guidelines,
no
metal
buildings,
the
construction
materials
need
to
be
a
little
bit.
E
Better
and
I
know
I
know,
Julie
and
I
went
back
and
forth
because
you
know
the
way
it
is
it's
70
percent
masonry,
which
is
great
but
there's
I,
mean
there's
a
lot
of
buildings
that
are
real
knives
that
can
be
stucco
can
be
plaque,
siding
but,
like
Julian
said,
I
mean
sometimes
when
they
do
stucco,
maybe
they
don't
use
the
correct
or
the
quality
of
the
material
that
they
should
right.
But
there
is
a
lot
of
aesthetically
there's
a
lot
of
Stucco
buildings
that
are
that
are
really
nice.
E
What
we
don't
want
is
people
to
go
in
and
to
make
into
just
trying
use
inferior
Building,
Material
yeah.
B
Knowledge
of
some
of
the
ineligible
products
we
didn't
take
out.
We
added
to
the
list
of
ineligible
product
projects.
We
have
blood
banks,
but
I
added
plasma,
centers
they're,
actually,
two
different
things:
web
Banks
and
plasma
centers
are
different,
so
our
added
plasma
centers
to
that
to
the
to
the
chemical
oriented
businesses
I
also
included
some
definitions
about
cannabino
CBD
places,
vaping
products,
drugs.
Things
like
that
car
washes
Automotive
centers.
B
C
We
will
we
can
go
over
in
detail,
but
those
are
maybe
some
of
the
bigger.
C
A
D
C
Presented
to
city
council,
you
know
hopefully
the
first
council
meeting
in
February,
but
we
should
keep
you
posted
and.
C
D
C
C
All
the
information
to
us
with
that.
Thank
you!
No,
no,
and
and
thank
you
to
the
subcommittee
members
as
well,
because
we
understand
this,
is
you
know,
voluntary
time
that
you
put
into
this
and
we're.
J
A
J
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
learn
from
you
all
so
that
we
can
walk
hand
in
hand
to
help
develop
the
city.
Thank
you
all
very
much
I'm,
also
very
proud
of
you
and
everything
you
do
going
back
and
forth
with
with
the
committee
and
myself
and
Miss
Connor,
so
get
you
all
Amber
as
well,
with
the
helping
get
this
across
the
goal
line.
Thank
you
thank.
A
Okay,
so
I
guess
we
just.
I
B
Just
really
quick
I
have
to
I'm
also
working
on
the
parklets.
The
parklets
and
The
Sidewalk
Cafe
ordinance
I
brought
a
copy
today,
but
I'll
I'll
have
Miriam
email
out
the
most
recent
one
because
I'm
updating
it
all
the
time
I
have
to
go
to
pnz
on
the
19th
on
that
to
see
who's
gonna.
Let
me
take
it
because,
right
now
the
Sidewalk
Cafe
is
in
the
Land
Development
code
and
the
parklet
ordinance
is
in
the
mini
code
and
I
accident.
B
I,
didn't
I,
purposefully,
merged
them,
and
so
I
have
to
see
who's
gonna.
Let
me
publish
it
where
and
I
would
like
to
publish
it
in
the
beauty
code,
so
I
have
to
see
if
PNC,
oh
or
we
already
left.
If
they'll,
let
me
take
it
away
from
them,
but
I
do
know
that
Evac
will
need
to
review
regardless.
The
parklet
cafe
the
parklet
ordinance
that
I
wrote
so
I
do
have
it
here.
I
have
a
copy
here.
B
I
brought
just
the
most
recent
one
because
I
was
working
on
it
this
morning,
but
I'll
also
have
it
I'll,
send
it
convenient
to
email
it
out
as
well,
because
I'm
always
updating
it
so
that
in
the
meantime,
while
I
go
to
pnb,
you
guys
can
review
what
I've
done
so
far.
D
C
So
there's
work
being
done
and
there's
progress
that
has
been
done
with
this
particular
ordinance,
and
you
know
there
are
some
minor
challenges
that
we
will
be
facing
as
far
as
combining
both,
but
the
whole
reason
is
to
have
a
cohesive.
You
know
plan
of
work,
you
know
and
if
combining
is
what's
going
to
make
our
job
easier
moving
forward,
that's
pretty
much.
You
know
the
Amber's
participation
at
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
meeting
just
so
that
we
can
identify
what's
the
best
and
more
effective
way
of
getting
this.
