Perfect
we're
actually
about
to
start
your
item,
which
is
action,
item
4a
discussion
with
that
with
possible
action
to
amend
the
city
of
laredo
chapter
380
guidance
to
include
criteria
for
dry
dock
warehousing
and
distribution
center
project
seeking
incentives
from
the
city,
employers.
Here's
mr
steele.
C
E
B
E

A
A
C
E
C
B
If
not
remind
every
two
years,
I
I
think
to
clarify
chapter
3
chapter
380
should
be
based
off
our
economic
development
strategy.
So
I
think
our
economic
development
strategy,
which
was
approved
by
council,
is
what
needs
to
be
ratified,
and
that
will
give
us
guidance
on
how
the
chapter
3
needs
to
be
updated.
B
C
B
C
A
C
Think
we
can
take.
You
know
I
mean
the
committee
could
take
for
a
couple
of
months
to
do
it
a
couple
of
meetings,
so
I
mean
it's
certainly
trying
to
be
done
right
away.
Plus
you
all
have
your
own
schedules
to
figure
out
when
we
just
need
to
do
it
so
yeah
I
mean
I
mean
we
need
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time.
A
D
A
C
A
C
C
Well,
I
don't
know,
I
don't
think
we
decided
last
time
my
my
my
guidelines
only
or
my
advice
to
the
community
is
it's
subcommittee
work.
I
mean
it's
not
it's
not
necessarily
open
to
the
public
work
and
any
and
any
public
person
who
wants
to
comment
on
them
on
these
meetings
can
come
to
our
our
community
to
you
know
and
register
the
comments
and
lay
their
comments
at
the
meeting.
But
that's
that's
the
purview.
E
A
B
D
F
C
B
C
C
The
the
directors
already
there
from
the
city,
council
and
and
the
city
manager
for
for
for
for
me
to
do
this,
so
I
think
we
take
it.
I
don't
know
what
motion
you
would
need
to
make,
but
just
then
we
take
it
up
to
the
next
meeting
and
I
should
have
the
name
of
the
firm
and
and
then
the
committee
should
have
the
the
subcommittee
needs
together
to
move
forward
with
the
with
the
policy.
B
A
B
B
A
A
A
It
has
a
problem
of
departments
being
understaffed
as
well,
so
it
has
been
a
little
difficult
to
to
get
this.
This
task
done
or
move
forward
on
it,
but
now
that
we
have
a
new
building
director,
it's
a
matter
of
us
getting
together
of
them
building
meetings
as
well
and
realizing
the
sense
of
urgency
that
they
have
on
this
policy,
we're
here
to
to
help
and
support
and
give
advice
and
offer
our
time
and
knowledge
to
them.
So
it's
basically
on
staff
as
much
consideration
as
they'd
like
to
take
forward.
E
A
B
Else,
just
that
the
concerns
from
council,
one
of
the
predominant
concerns
from
one
of
the
council
members-
was
that
that
it
we
make
sure
that
it
still
includes
you
know
the
smaller
properties
which
the
rehabilitation
of
older,
smaller
homes,
which
it
should
there
shouldn't,
be
any
issue
there.
The
concern
from
staff
on
the
nazis
there's
there's
large
swatches
of
land
that
are
pretty
much
completely
undeveloped
and
not
in
blighted
areas
that
shouldn't
be
in
the
neighborhood
empowerment
zone
and
and
by
statute
by
the
state
of
texas.
B
F
B
B
F
A
B
A
A
We're
also
looking
at
automating
zones,
basically
when
it
was
when
it
when
this
policy
was
built,
it
was
great
was
it
because
it
is
such
a
good
tool.
It
was
built
for
a
certain
zone,
but
obviously
every
council
member
wants
it
for
his
zone,
so
they're
like
hey.
I
wanted
an
easy.
I
want
a
little
easy,
so
we're
going
to
be
going
over
that
with
staff
as
well,
let's
see
which
ones
where
it
could
flourish
better.
D
B
Or
they're
not
they're,
not
penalized,
because
I
mean
the
current
policy
allows
for
infill
development.
It's
infill
development
and
as
long
as
that
infill
is,
is
dense.
So
you
know
that
would
be.
That
would
be
allowed.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
any
disease
incentivizing
raw
lots
in
between
a
neighborhood
that
is
divided,
because
that
that's
one
of
the
major
problems
we
have
in
laredo.
We
have
a
housing
crisis,
yet
we
keep
saying
there's
not
enough
homes
and
there's
not
enough
land.
B
But
if
you
go
into
the
inner
city
there
are
lots
of
energy
lots,
so
so
those
do
need
to
be
incentivized
by
this
policy.
What
doesn't
is
suddenly
you
have
this
huge?
You
know
200
acre
area,
just
raw
land.
That
shouldn't
be
something
that
you
should
believe
right,
because
that's
going
to
get
developed
generally.
C
A
B
B
B
A
A
Sense
of
urgency,
because
it
was
going
to
expire
in
december
yeah,
I
believe
or
january.
So
I
brought
it
up
to
the
committee.
We
talked
about
it
and
my
goal
was
for
us
to
work
on
on
this
see
our
amendments
see
hear
from
our
business
small
business
owners
and
then
move
forward
with
with
our
changes
in
the
policy
in
order
to
make
it
an
actual,
lasting
policy.
Here
in
the
city,
the
radio
illegal
passed
by
council
of
passed
by
our
legal
department
and
everything.
B
C
B
B
Motion
is
to
recommend
the
council
to
turn
the
parklet
ordinance
into
an
actual
ordinance
by
the
city
that
will
survive
past
the
emergency
order
and
for
that
ordinance
to
be
shown
to
the
businesses,
so
they
can
get
their
input
on.
You
know
if
there's
things
that
need
to
be
added
or
things
that
need
to
be
removed
in
that
ordinance.
C
B
B
D
E
A
A
Speaking
about
was,
was
the
insurance
and
the
paid
for
that
because
it
doubles
triples,
obviously
depends
on
the
size
of
the
business,
but
the
insurance
is
definitely
a
big
toll
and
providing
workers
comp
and
then
I
know
it's
a
free
free
policy.
It's
a
free
apartment
application,
but
there
are
other
certain
fees
that
need
to
be
added
in
order
for
that
business
to
qualify
and
that's
what
I
think
was
was
hindering
back
many
of
them.
