So
we'll
start
off
with
action
item
6c,
which
is
economic
development
discussion
by
michael
gonzalez,
with
the
moreno
college,
economic
and
resource
development
senior
director
hi,
for
welcome.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
with
us.
We
appreciate
the
time
to
really
share
your
knowledge
with
us.
What
is
yours
absolutely.
Is
this
a
good
place
for
me
to
be
here?
What's
that.
E
So
excited
to
be
here,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
having
me
on
the
agenda
today.
My
goal
today
was
really
to
have
a
discussion
with
this
group
and
really
just
provide
this
group
a
little
bit
of
of
insight
from
from
myself,
but
more
than
anything
else,
my
appreciation
for
the
work
that's
being
done
in
this
committee.
I
think
it's
incredibly
important.
All
the
work,
that's
being
done,
I'm
really
encouraged.
F
E
You
know,
through
the
efforts
of
this
group
through
the
city
through
the
efforts
of
the
economic
development
department
staff
that
has
been
working
diligently
on
all
of
this,
that
we're
making
some
critical
strides
forward
in
our
economic
development,
and
I
think
we
have
the
right
people
in
the
room
to
get
that
done.
That's
the
most
important
part
of
that
really
what
I
want
to
be
able
to
do.
I
saw
on
the
agenda
today
and
I
was
hoping
to
be
able
to
to
hear
through
that
part
of
the
agenda.
E
But
if
I
can
stick
around,
I
will
to
do
that
part
of
it
is
that
you're
working
on
guidelines
around
your
incentives
tools
that
are
available
to
you,
and
I
can't
tell
you
how
important
that
is
to
the
future
of
economic
development
in
our
city.
Having
those
guidelines
creates
these
identifiable
parameters
right
for
incentives
and
once
they're
approved
by
the
governing
body,
helps
to
do
a
lot
of
things,
helps
to
streamline
the
process
for
people
interested
in
taking
advantage
of
these
incentives.
E
But
I
think
that
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
I've
seen
working
with
economic
developers
across
texas
has
been
the
more
certainty
that
we
can
inject
into
the
plans
for
potential
investors,
business
owners
and
the
like
the
better
we're
gonna
do
and
these
kinds
of
guidelines
help
to
inject
more
certainty
into
the
process.
They
know
what
they'll
be
able
to
get
access
to,
and
I
think
that's
really
critically
important.
E
It
also
ensures
that
we're
taking
advantage
of
as
many
available
economic
development
tools
as
possible.
I
know
that
we're
just
beginning
that
process
we've
used
some
of
the
tools
you
know
terses
and-
and
you
know
some
different
incentive
agreements.
There
are
more
as
we're
all
aware,
and
so
the
more
we
can
help
to
define
those
things.
The
more
that
we
can
help
to
create
guidelines
around
that.
E
E
E
I
think
that
we
need
to
help
to
shore
up
a
lot
of
what
we
have
as
well
through
business
retention
and
expansion
efforts,
and
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
that
I've
seen
again
coming
from
the
community
college
right
from
the
college
system
and
also
being
a
part
of
economic
development
and
small
business
development,
we've
seen
workforce,
take
a
higher
place
than
it
maybe
has
been
in
the
recent
history
right.
When
you
started
talking
about
economic
development,
you
know
even
five
years
ago,
seven
years
ago,
something
like
that.
E
You
were
probably
talking
a
lot
about
infrastructure
land,
the
things
that
you're
going
to
need
to
to
move
a
project
forward
and
that
that
hasn't
changed.
That's
still
very,
very
important,
but
workforce
was
was
the
next
thing
you
thought
about
after
you
made
sure
that
you
had
those
things,
and
I
think
now
it's
taking
a
a
higher
place
on
the
hierarchy
than
it
ever
has
been
because
of
the
situation
we
have
within
the
airport
because
of
everybody's
need
to
find
these
additional
workers
and
things
about
that
and
things
of
that
nature.
E
F
E
That's
interested,
whether
that's
a
new
business
attraction
or
somebody
coming
that's
already
in
town,
that's
looking
to
potentially
expand
or
that
we
may
be
looking
to
to
handle
some
some
retention
efforts,
and
those
things,
like
I
said,
are,
are
really
you
know
sort
of
starting
to
to
happen.
I
think
in
various
ways.
E
E
Then
you
can
allow
for
those
constituencies
who
would
be
affected
to
make
those
decisions.
You
know
for
themselves
right,
I
mean,
if
a
group,
if
we
feel
like
a
group,
can
benefit
from
one
of
these
additional
discrete.
You
know
municipal
district
tools
that
are
available
to
us,
then
that
can
happen
in
a
very
fluid
way,
because
the
whole
work
has
already
been
done
right.
The
the
how
we're
gonna
go
about
providing
guidelines
has
already
been
done,
and
the
other
bit
is
that
it's
about
not
necessarily
giveaways.
E
E
E
We
all
will
have
these
tools
at
our
disposal
to
be
able
to
go
out
to
businesses
and
to
attract
them
or
retain
them,
and
the
other
thing
is:
let's
not
forget
I
mean
we
are
I
mean
I
know
we
don't
forget
this.
We
are
a
super
poor.
We
are,
we
got
to
say
that
every
time
we
get
a
chance
to
say
that
we
got
to
keep
just
like.
I
tell
the
college
all
the
time
I
tell
them.
We
got
to
talk
about
having
a
great
university.
We
got
to
talk
about
having
the
number
one
college.
E
We
got
to
talk
about
being
a
us
superport.
We
got
to
talk
about
these
things
all
the
time,
so
the
people
remember
who
we
are
and
then
that
begins
the
conversation
and
then
the
next
step
in
the
process
is
and
in
addition
to
all
those
things,
we've
done
our
homework
and
here's
what
it
is,
we've
got
it
all
ready
to
go,
because
I
think,
ultimately,
that
that
other
half
of
the
pie
that
I
want
to
explain
is
in
being
a
superport.
E
But
it's
going
to
take
a
team
effort,
but
it
starts,
I
think,
with
the
guidelines
work
that
happens
in
this
group,
and
so
anyway,
I
I
think
I've
probably
gone
over
my
time,
but
but
I'll
just
say
this,
I
I
I'm
excited
at
the
work
that
you're
doing.
I'm
excited
at
the
positive
direction
that
we're
taking
as
a
committee
as
a
city
getting
these
guidelines
together.
E
All
the
tools
available
to
us
have
a
set
of
guidelines
that
have
been
considered
so
that
we
can
turn
that
into
a
situation
where
we
can
tell
everybody
that,
in
addition
to
being
number
one
here
and
number
one
there
and
the
super
port
and
all
these
things,
and
having
a
very
positive
and
strong
business
environment
and
business
climate
that
we've
also
done
our
homework
and
we're
ready
to
bring
you
to
town
we're
ready
to
have
you
expand
your
business
here.
This
is
the
place.
E
You
need
to
invest
your
dollars,
and
so
anyway,
I'm
really
excited
about
that.
I'm
glad
to
be
a
small
part
in
terms
of
laredo
college
and
edc
of
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing,
and
I
offer
my
expertise
or
insight
or
services
whatever
I
can
do
to
help
this
group.
I
want
to
be
here
as
a
as
another
support
that
you
have,
because
I
think
it
happens
as
a
team
that
this
this
all
gets
done
so
kudos
to
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
have
done.
G
E
E
Is
the
texas
workforce,
commission,
right
and
texas
workforce
commission
has
skills
development
fund
grants
those
come
in
two
forms:
skills,
development
fund
and
skills
for
small
business
grants
and
really
they're
similar
grants
other
than
the
size
of
the
business
that
they
serve.
One
service
serves
businesses,
99
persons,
99
employees
and
smaller
the
other
larger
businesses,
and
they
essentially
paid
for
any
training
that
that
business
needs
within
business,
what
they
call
business,
technical
or
general
technical
training.
E
We
could
have
a
seminar
on
what
that
is,
but
long
story
short,
it's
things
directly
associated
with
the
jobs
of
those
employees
and
things
associated
with
the
performance
of
those
employees.
That
may
not
be
part
of
their
job
description,
if
that
makes
any
sense,
and
so
so
yes,
the
funding,
is
there.
I
use
this
word
loosely,
so
don't
home
into
this
one.
It
has
been
evergreen
right
to
us.
It's
been
there
for
many
years.
E
So
that's
bringing
new
funds
into
into
our
city
and
helping
to
provide
business
retention
and
expansion
services
to
a
fairly
large
employer
about
400
employees
here
in
laredo
right.
So
we're
excited
about
what
that
what
that
can
be
now
I'll.
Tell
you
that
part
of
the
thing
that
we
provide
in
the
radio
college
economic
development
center
is
and
it's
necessary.
Is
this
white
globe
service?
That's
needed
right,
because
some
of
the
forms
requirements,
stipulations
and
things
of
that
nature
of
this
funding
can
be
confusing.
E
They
can
be
technical
right
when
I
say
business,
technical
versus
general
technical.
You
know
the
general
business
person
is,
you
know
not
sure
what
the
exact
definition
of
all
that
is,
and
so
that's
part
of
what
we
provide
in
the
lcedc.
Is
we
take
it
from
what
are
your
business
needs
and,
and
are
you
willing
to
not
only
provide
us
in
the
state
of
texas,
with
the
requisite
data.
F
E
We're
going
to
need,
but
also
there
are
requirements
of
the
utilization
of
this
funding
I'll
give
you
just
one
one
requirement
would
be
that
on
average
for
all
employees
that
are
trained,
they
will
see
a
one
percent
increase
in
their
salary,
so
it's
on
average,
so
you
could
give
one
person
a
10
increase
or
something
like
that
and
meet
the
average
right.
You
don't
have
to
it's,
not
an
across-the-board.
E
You
know
situation,
but
there
is
a
requirement
like
that
by
the
state
of
texas
to
use
that
to
use
the
funding
right.
Another
is
that
employees
have
to
be
on
the
clock,
while
they're
training
they
can't
be
outside
of
their
work
hours
or
something
like
that
right.
It's
got
to
be
part
of
the
work
that
they're
doing
so
that's
what
why
I
say
that
that
fight
glove
service
is
so
important
because
we
make
the
confusing
paperwork
and
requirements
easy
for
people
to
understand.
E
We
take
the
data
and
the
needs
that
they
have
and
we're
able
to
communicate
alongside
them
with
twc,
to
get
access
to
this
money
and
we've
been
successful
with
it.
We've
been
successful,
it's
just.
It
really
comes
down
to
an
analysis
for
that
business
of.
Is
it
more
cost
effective
for
me
to
meet
these
parameters
that
twc
has
for
me
or
to
direct
paint,
because
the
cost
is
low
on
this
training
and
and
that
analysis
happens
with
every
project.
And
then
we
move
forward.
A
There's
a
lot
that
michael
thank
you
for
joining
us.
Yes,
sir,
it's
a
lot
better,
better
fits
as
well.
We
learn,
from
other
evidence,
we're
working
on
kind
of
environment
and
we
work
together
such
as
was
the
case
with
florida
college
in
our
380
agreement
with
westpac
avocados.
They
were
able
to
partner
up
and
provide
the
education
for
them,
michael
going
forward
in
perspective
with
the
city.
What
are
some
tools
that
you
think
this
committee
and
the
economic
development
department
should
focus
on
working
in
policy
and
establishing
guidelines
for.
E
E
There
there
are-
and
that's
what
I
was
referring
to
a
few
minutes
ago
when
I
said
guidelines
across
all
the
tools
right,
because
I
don't
think
it's
necessary.
I
mean
we
should
be
strategic
about
how
we
go
about
this
because
there's
going
to
be
homework
at
every
step
along
the
way
right,
but
I
think
that
I
think
that
ultimately,
the
ones
that
do
it
best
and
the
most
thoroughly
are
the
ones
that
get
all
the
homework
done.
Eventually
right,
it
has
to
happen
over
time.
E
So
I
think
that's
that's
one
thing,
but
I
also
think
that
that
we
can
also
look
at
outside
of
just
traditional.
Let's
use
that
word
traditional
economic
development
tools
that
are
out
there.
Let's
get
innovative
a
little
bit
right.
Let's
look
at
some
other
things
that
can
happen.
I
see
things
like
rent
opportunities
that
are
available
in
some
instances
for
for
us
to
take.
E
So
when
it's,
when
it's
required
that
we
be
a
community
college
or
an
institution
of
higher
education,
we
can
be
that
right
when
it's
required
that
we
are
an
economic
development
organization.
We
could
be
that
as
well
right.
We
also
have
entities
like
most
institutions.
Do
that
also
can
qualify
as
c3
organizations
right.
So
when
we
need
to
do
that,
we
can
do
that,
but
also
in
in
partnership
with
the
city.
E
You
know
we
need
to
to
apply
with
the
city
first
right.
We
can
do
that
as
well,
so
it
becomes
what
is
most
advantageous.
What
gives
us
access
to
some
of
these
funds
to
bring
new
money
into
what
we're
doing,
but
in
terms
of
traditional
economic
development
tools?
That's
what
I
think
you're
you're
discussing
right
now.
E
I
say
it's
an
all
of
the
above
approach:
not
that
we're
going
to
implement
them
all,
but
we'll
have
done
our
homework
on
all
of
them
know
what
we
would
expect
in
terms
of
the
guidelines
so
that
when
that
part
of
our
city
or
a
particular
business
that
we're
working
with
is
ready,
we're
also
ready.
We
can
say,
we've.
I
H
Mimic
michael's
comments
about
incentives
to
be
standard,
transparent,
responsive
one
thing
that
I
don't
know
if
this
group
has
talked
about
when
we're
dealing
with
prospects
and
potential
investors
and
developers
and
site
selectors,
and
when
it
comes
right
down
to
developing
the
property,
whether
it's
horizontal
or
vertical
development
permits
come
up
a
lot
and-
and
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
not
being
critical.
But
I
think
it's
the
feedback
that
I'm
getting
from
the
private
sector,
that
the
permits
need
to
move
a
little
further
down.
H
The
line
and
customer
service
will
ease
of
process.
Timeliness,
responsiveness,
transparency,
a
lot
of
complaints
that
we're
getting
with
respect
to
to
that
and
as
we
continue
to
attract
more
and
more
outside
investors,
maybe
the
ones
that
have
been
here
forever
are
used
to
the
process.
They
know
the
you
know:
the
kill,
ems
and
the
kalades
and
the
and
the
herds
etc.
H
G
G
The
only
reason
for
where
I'd
come
find.
Where
did
it
tell
me
that
you
heard
because
that
might
have
been
just
one
calling
you're
saying
I
like
to
see
what
it's
like
about
saying
that
you're
working
there
and
since
I've
been
in
this
committee,
a
continuous
sentiment.
So
it's
been
several
years,
but
I
continue
to
ask
give
me
the
data
that
backs
up
your
statement,
because
I
also
consider
here,
one
client
told
me
and
again
I
work
with
thousands
of
people.
D
On
that
I'd
like
to
say
I
wish
miriam
was
here,
you
know,
I
should
mention
that
earlier
apology,
she's
doing
the
city's
dirty
work
at
got
in
right
now.
She's
representing
the
city
she's
got
a
presentation
today,
so
she
couldn't
join
us.
But
on
that
note
I'm
sure
marin
will
be
happy
to
tell
you
that
our
department
was
brought
up
by
michael.
He
talked
about
business
retention
and
expansion.
I
picked
that
up
at
the
basics
course
miriam
and
our
admin
assistant
both
attended.
That
course
too,
that's
something
that
they
brought
back.
D
F
C
Oh,
oh,
I
agree
with
the
whole
survey
system.
What
san
antonio
does
it's
part
of
their
comprehensive
plan
update
every
time
they
update
it,
they're
not
just
surveying
residents,
they're
surveying
business
owners
and
developers,
and
they
actually
collect
all
that
data
every
single
year
and
and
they
update
that
information.
So
I
know,
there's
been
several
items
on
council
agenda
to
discuss
essentially
updating
the
comprehensive
plan.
I
think
that
piece
shouldn't
be
siloed
to
just
the
economic
development
department.
E
Yeah
and
what
I
was
going
to
add
to
that
is
myra,
I
think
you're
you're
right
on
track.
In
other
words,
you
got
to
make
decisions.
You
know
based
on
the
data,
that's
there
and
I
think
the
the
survey
process
is,
or
you
know,
a
project
that
should
be
done
right.
It's
something
that
should
be
a
part
of
that.
E
The
great
thing
is,
we
have
conduits
that
that
are
there
right,
we
have,
you,
know,
gene
and
the
membership
of
the
radio
edc.
That's
that's
part
of
that.
We
have.
You,
know
our
chamber
of
commerce
and
the
membership
of
that
movement.
So
that's
already
covering
some
major
areas.
Then
we
can
take
it
out
beyond
that
right
as
a
function
of
maybe
like
julian's
talking
about
something
a
little
broader
than
that
to
then
extract
the
data
for
the
individual
areas
where
that's
needed.
E
G
B
I
mean
it's
a
data
agreement,
you,
don't
you
don't
make
decisions
just
right
at
the
moment
you
have
to
have
the
data
and
that's
what
that's?
What
we're
talking
about?
Yeah.
We
get
all
kind
of
complain,
the
permits
and
all
those
things,
but
we
met
with
all
the
developers
everything.
So
you
heard
one
side
of
the
story.
You
don't
get
the
full
scoring.
B
I
mean
we
are
open
to
anybody.
Has
any
projects
to
sit
down,
but
it's
in
both
ways.
We
can't
just
give
it
permit
whatever
you
submit,
we
have
to
review
it
and
that
needs
to
be
look
at
it.
So
every
project
is
different
and
definitely
is
the
what
he
talked
about
a
closing
document.
That's
that's
not
even
our
hand.
Once
we
get
everything
done
is
submits
to
planning
department,
they
go
record
the
flag.
If
the
engineer
and
the
developer
doesn't
follow
through,
we
can
go
and
record
the
plan,
so
he
said
both
way.
B
B
G
D
G
And
then,
at
the
end,
once
everything
is
completed,
there's
no
follow-up
in
terms
of
sending
a
survey
kind
of
like
the
retail
industry.
As
soon
as
you
buy
it
right
off
the
bat
you
get
a
people
saying
how
was
your
online
very,
very
good,
so
we
have
something
and
some
mechanism
for
all
city
departments
to
find
out
what
was
their
experience
right
off
the
bat.
I
don't
want
something
that
you're
going
to
send
me
30
60
days,
retail
industry.
I
push
a
purchase
and
the
next
minute
I
get
an
email.
G
What
is
your
satisfaction
like
and
again
you
do
it
because
it's
done
so
quickly.
You
also
and
again,
I'm
thinking
about
the
generation
that
we
work
with.
That's
what
they're
accustomed
to
you
send
me
a
survey
and
you
send
it
to
me
immediately.
I'm
checking
my
purchase
and
then
I
probably
get
that
served
first
and
I
can
answer
it
right
away.
Oh
this
was
fantastic
or
it
was
not
good
and
you
can
get
big
feedback
and
then
you
can
actually
analyze
it.
G
B
A
But
we
will
definitely
look
at
it.
That's
great,
I
think
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
what
you
do
as
a
committee
as
well.
We
can.
We
can
definitely
play
a
big
role
in
all
of
this
in
looking
at
our
priority
tools
in
setting
up
data,
setting
up
a
consensus
of
what
we've
heard,
rather
than
just
bringing
up.
I
guess
kind
of
dinner
talk.
A
So
that's
that's
our
real
our
real
goal
here,
right,
it's
bringing
more
projects,
that's
bringing
up
hearing
the
consensus
of
the
people
and
trying
to
find
out
some
solutions
and
working
together,
as
well
as
as
influencing
policy.
So
michael
you've
been
a
strong
advocate
for
for
economic
development
for
the
workforce,
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
here
coming
to
to
share
with
us
as
well
as
continue
this
dialogue
and
partnership
and
friendship
with
with
the
committee
and
with
the
city.
E
Absolutely,
and
if
I,
if
I
could,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
having
me
first
and
foremost,
but
you
know
yes,
there's
there's
homework
to
be
done,
but
the
great
thing
is
it's
getting
done.
This
is
the
group,
you
know
that's
doing
a
lot
of
that,
and
so,
alongside
with
our
city
staff
and
everybody,
that's
a
part
of
this
like
we,
we
have
the
right
people
in
the
room.
Let's
not
forget
that
I
mean
I
think
again,
I'm
a
native
laredo
and
a
lot
of
times.
E
E
Look
at
how
far
we've
come
and
then
use
that
momentum
to
take
us
forward,
as
we
continue
through
this
process
of
getting
this
homework
done,
that
we
need
to
get
done
because
it's
you
know,
you're
gonna
eat
the
elephant,
one
bite
at
a
time
right,
and
so
it's
just
a
matter
of
that
so
kudos
to
you
kudos
to
your
team
here
this
committee
for
doing
the
work
and
and
to
all
the
partners
that
are
part
of
it,
and
thank
you
for
letting
me
be
your
presenter
today,
thanks
mikey.
Thank
you.
A
We
do
get
some
large
large
companies
that
bring
in
a
lot
of
going
into
the
city
we
do
need
to.
You
know,
be
a
little
bit
more
try
and
move
the
process
faster
because
they
have
options,
they
can
move.
You
know
they're
people
that
could
hire
100
people
and,
of
course
I
agree
with
micah.
We
need
to
go
back
and
say
look.
This
is
in
a
realistic
world
if
this
should
take
30
days
to
from
the
to
the
start,
to
the
end,
but
we're
taking
45.60
and
if
you're,
absolutely
correct.
F
A
There's
many
documents
sometimes
there's
certain
documents
that
are
required.
Others
I
mean
I'm
in
the
in
the
lending
area,
and
I
mean
I
understand
pulling
what
jaden's
saying,
because
sometimes
you
don't
you
don't
push
the
process,
it
doesn't
get
done
or
it
just
sort
of
lacks
behind,
but
it's
always
good
to
be
pushing
that
process
to
to
get
things
done
more
efficiently.
I
When
they,
when
they
ask
you
for
something
and-
and
you
say
well,
I
asked
him
that
I
needed
this
and
he
never
came
back
as
to
what
it
would
happen.
How
can
I
help
you,
I'm
just
pushing
it
to
I
mean
on
behalf
of
the
city,
not
just
well,
he
had
some
homework
and
he
never
came
back
yeah
instead
of
following
her
follow
through
and
follow
him.
B
In
the
building
permitting
process
now
it's
it's
there
because
we
have
the
new
software,
and
so
I
instructed
not
just
the
contractor
to
also
email
it
to
the
owner,
because
a
lot
of
the
time
what
this
contractor
does
the
owner
doesn't
know
that
he
is
sitting
on
it,
so
we
implement
because
of
the
permitting
process.
When
you
submit
an
application,
you
put
your
owner's
name,
your
contactless
name,
so
we
are
actually
every
time
there
is
a
issue
with
sending
an
email
to
the
owners
to
say,
hey.
B
A
Respect
for
him,
these
are
veterans
only
that
we
have
to
figure
out
hello.
What
london
city
of
laredo-
I
I
know
some
places
in
here
at
long
time
apartments,
but
I
I
just
a
comment
to
what
you
all
are
talking
about.
One
of
the
confusions
is
building
and
planning
are
two
separate
departments.
Okay,
the
planning
department
goes
first,
then,
the
building
department
I'm
going
to
give
you
an
example
of
some
customer
service
yesterday
to
get
a
phone
call,
because
there's
a
restaurant
in
town
that
wants
to
remodel
they
called
yesterday.
A
They
said
we'd
like
to
have
a
meeting,
because
we
want
to
do
a
pre-development
meeting.
What
are
some
of
the
issues
that
we
have
to
look
out
for?
This
is
an
individual
calling
us
from
dallas.
So
every
thursday
we
have
a
meeting
with
all
directors
in
my
office.
So
we
go
over
all
the
different
plans
that
are
coming
tomorrow
and
they
said
greg
we're
flying
down
so
they're
flying
in.
I
thought
they
could
deserve
that
they'll,
be
here
at
1
30..
A
F
A
So
when
you
have
something
that
says
man
they're
taking
forever
they're
taking
two
months,
we
should
be
taking
a
year
too
much
of
fast.
What
does
it
say?
You
have
to
take
it
here
because
there's
a
lot
of
what
I'm
saying
is
they're.
They,
the
the
part
of
the
city
process,
is
part
of
the
timeline
of
your
business
plan.
Okay,
so
you
have
to
come
in
and
talk
about
your
property.
Is
it
planning?
Is
it
adding
to
the
city?
Is
it
all
the
property
all
that
has
to
be
taken
care
of?
Okay?
A
If
it
hasn't,
you
have
to
go
through
that
process.
If
you
have
a
piece
of
land
that
it's
not
annexed
in
the
city,
you
have
to
petition
to
get
it
out
of
the
city,
and
we
do
that
twice
a
year
only
two
times
a
year
right,
so
you
have
that
process.
So,
let's,
let's
say
you
have
these
properties,
it's
not
annexed
in
the
city
that
creates
we
don't
january
and
july.
So,
let's
say
july,
so
you
have,
and
it
takes
six
months
to
get
done.
You
have
that
process.
A
Then
you
have
to
go
through
the
planning
process.
Our
planning
process
is
on
two
week
cycles:
okay,
to
go
to
city
council,
so
they
submit
to
us.
We
have
to
go
through
preliminary
and
pmz.
Then
it
goes
to
the
one-stop
shop
to
get
reviewed.
Then
it
comes
back
to
pnc.
Then
it
goes
to
city
council
and
if
it's
a
planet
station
pnz.
F
A
A
They
went
to
fort
worth
called
the
international
college
of
shopping.
I
sent
a
planner
with
them
because
it's
important
that
anybody
who
wants
to
come
to
moreno
we
speak
to
their
engineers
way
in
advance,
because
people
need
to
do
that.
If
we
can
talk
to
them
way
in
advance,
then
when
they
come
in
now
it
becomes
a
shorter
process.
Now
we
can
do
that.
That's
that's
big.
We
have
in
three
weeks
we
have
a
meeting
coming
up
with
engineers
here
in
town
to
bring
it
in.
A
So
we
can
talk
about
some
of
the
issues
that
they're
having
so
hopefully
we
knew
that
I
don't
come
from
the
city
sector.
I
come
from
the
private
sector,
so
I
live
the
other
side,
so
I
know
they're
heading
so
I'm
leaving
them
to
talk
to
you
about
it.
But
what
I've
seen
here
is
a
lot
of
misunderstanding
of
your
business
plan
and
how
you
establish
your
business
plan
when
somebody
comes
in
and
I
ask
them
in
your
business
plan.
How
much
time
did
you
give
to
get
your
city
permits
and
the
report
then?
A
I
know
this
is
a
person
that's
going
to
complain
because
they're
going
to
say
it's
taking
too
long
and
that
you
have
problems.
I
guess
you
have
to
differentiate
between
life
but
you're,
saying
more
like
land
development
getting
it
up
or
where
you
have
a
property
like
a
pinnacle.
That's
ready
to
be.
You
know
it's
already
planted
it's
light
and
blocked.
It's
just
a
matter
of
getting
the
permit
to
put
a
warehouse
in,
so
that
that
process
should
be
a
lot
shorter.
Okay,.
C
F
C
C
A
C
A
C
I'm
asking
the
wrong:
you
are
correct,
it's
more
of
a
building
question,
I'm
just
I'm,
I'm
thinking
throughout
the
entire
process,
you're
right!
That
is
the
building
now
when
it
comes
to
giving
out
so
here's
my
follow-up
question
when
it
comes
to
giving
out
business
certificates
to
open
is
that
building
or
planning.
A
Yeah,
that's
all
building,
that's
the
only
technical
people
is,
I
don't
know
planning
we
deal
with
the
left,
like
this
building
deals
with
the
vertical
construction
of
the
directions.
It's
two
different
departments
and
so
you're
coming
from
an
unplanted
raw
land,
get
it
ready,
get
it
building
the
planning
process.
So
now
you
can
put
worry
about
the
streets,
making
sure
that
there's
sewer
lines,
water
lines,
all
that
stuff
preparing
that
building
to
be
fitted,
and
so
our
meeting
today
we'll
just
we'll
we're
going
to
discuss
all
the
departments
and
it'll
start
from
the
ground.
A
All
the
way
till-
and
I
think
where
gene
was
coming
from-
is
that
there's
companies
that
are
coming
in
the
properties
are
already
flat.
So
it's
really
belong
to
building
stuff,
so
the
properties
are
planted.
It's
just
going
in
and
putting
it.
There
are
some
that
are
putting
into
a
million
million
square
feet
space.
A
A
And
you
want
to
be
respectful
of
everybody's
time.
It's
almost
ten
till
one.
We
can
go
ahead
and
bring
in
my
next
month
as
well
and
anything
else
that
you
guys
want
to
put
on
next
month's
agenda
or
we
have
special
meetings
as
well.
But
this
is
great
that
we're
getting
some
really
good
feedback,
but.
F
B
A
D
Yeah,
so
we
did
have
a
meeting,
mr
chairman,
with
the
building
department,
the
you
know
more
specifically
the
officials
that
are
overseeing
the
nec.
We
had
city
management
there.
We
did
go
over
julian,
the
the
sheet
that
she
provided.
We
went
over
bullet
point
by
bullet
point
and
considered
each
one
and
then
now
we're
bringing
back
to
the
committee.
Sorry
I
I
didn't
know
to
last
minute,
julian
you
were
gonna,
be
online.
D
I
did
provide
in
the
packets
a
copy
of
what
you
provided
also
with
some
you
know:
they're
color
coded
and
what's
green
and
what's
red
and
stuff.
So
if
you've
got
a
copy
in
front
of
you,
if
not
I'll,
try
to
get
you
one
when
the
meeting
is
done,
so
you
can
see
what
we're
talking
about
or
if
you
can
follow
us
on
the
copy.
You
have.
D
F
D
That
they're
stating
that
are
included
in
the
current
policy.
So
if
there's
anything
in
there
that
you
see
julian
when
she
gets
the
picture,
if
there's
something
there
that
you
think
that's
not
in
the
policy,
maybe
that
they
overlook,
that
should
be.
If
you
can
bring
it
back
to
us,
so
we
can
bring
it.
A
Working
with
this
we've
had
this
since
last
year,
grant
monroe.
He
came
on
board
and
I
think
this
was
one
of
his
first
meetings
and
we
were
close
to
saying
it's
a
legal
department,
but
there
was
just
a
lot
of
changes.
So
thank
you
to
the
department.
I
was
focusing
a
lot
on
the
housing
aspect.
Julian
had
some
amendments
on
the
on
the
commercial
side.
Do
we
just
send
that,
through
an
email
of
what
we'd
like
to
see
implemented
in
this.
D
So
the
first
one
we're
looking
at
julian
is
under
the
eligibility
to
apply
for
the
nazi
certification,
the
very
last
one
that
can't
tear
down
a
50-plus
year
old
improvement.
They
did
not
agree
with
that.
Only
because
they
they
found
you
know
they
they're
under
the
opinion.
That
old
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
it
has
value
or
is
historic.
C
D
I
C
A
C
So
yes,
because
you
can
have
historic
buildings
outside
of
the
historic
district,
so
we
don't
remember
these
are
guidelines
and
the
point
of
the
guidelines
is:
these
can
always
be
over
ruled.
So
if
there's
a
property,
that's
not
really
considered
historic.
It's
over
50
years!
That's
fine
council
can
rule
on
that,
but
we
just
don't
want
to
make
it
easy
to
go
in
and
demolish
you.
C
A
A
B
I'm
reading
this
one
that
if
you
want
to
apply
to
any
z,
that
means
you
want
to
get
some
key
weights.
Those
are
the
things.
Then
you
have
to
follow
something,
but
if
you
don't
want
to
apply
very
easy,
you
can
go
ahead
and
do
it.
So
I
I
really
don't
see
any
problem
with
that,
because
you
want
me
to
give
you
something
you
have
to
exactly.
B
C
A
B
A
I
A
C
A
A
F
D
Okay,
all
right
moving
down
under
incentives
available
in
any
z,
the
first
red
che,
xmark
multi-family
development
project
on
five
or
more
units
that
one
they
recommended
not
to
put
that
that
way
julian,
because
in
the
current
policy
it
already
exists
for
four
or
more
so
it
would
make
more.
You
know
make
more
sense
to
to
put
that
three
or
more,
if
you
want
to
lower
it,
but
at
four
or
more,
it's
already
eligible.
C
A
C
It's
not
so
to
qualify
for
the
neighborhood
empowerment
zone,
it's
not
on
the
investment.
It's
on
the
improvement,
so
if
a
property
is
valued
at
thousand
dollars,
for
example,
I
I
think
and
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
you
have
to
invest
30
right.
Is
that
what
our
numbers
at
right
now
or
is
it
40
percent.
C
The
the
thing
that
you
and
I
discussed
tripod
was
to
actually
just
you
know:
we
can
outright
remove
it,
but
the
only
the
only
problem
with
doing
making
it
so
low
is
like
you
only
get
one
chance
to
apply
for
any
z.
So
if
you
make
you
know,
let's
say
you
buy
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
property
and
you
want
to
freeze
your
tax
rate
and
you
improve
your
fence
and
that's
five
thousand
dollars
right
and
you
go
and
apply,
but
the
next
year
you
add
a
third
bedroom.
C
You
can
no
longer
apply
anymore,
so
there
is
some
logic
to
having
some
form
of
a
minimum,
but
I
do
agree
that
the
current
minimum,
I
think
was
it
was
over.
30
percent
should
be
lowered,
especially
because
the
appraisal
values
have
been
hiked
up
so
high.
It's
kind
of
like
hard
to
like
resemble
those
numbers
today.
A
C
Because
when
you're
talking
about
affordable
multi-family,
which
we
are
every
city
is
but
laredo
is
especially
suffering
from
you're
leaving
those
projects
out
because
those
are
going
to
be.
You
know
million
dollar
developments,
but
there
are
multiple
units.
So
I
I
I'm
okay
with
that.
As
long
as
it's
on
the
single
family.
C
The
reason
it's
stipulated
this
way
is
it's
referring
to
the
idea.
Is
that
you,
you
know
you
fix
one
home,
you
don't
go
in
and
you
apply
to
this
policy
and
you
develop
a
bunch
of
single
family
homes
and
then
sell
those
those
it's
against
incentivizing.
That
so
that's
why
it's
referring
to
an
existing
family
property,
and
then
it
jumps
to
a
quad
plex
on
a
single
lot,
which
is
that's
the
four
units
versus
the
multi-family,
which
is
five.
That's
why
those
are
shown.
I
A
D
The
greens,
by
the
way,
obviously
green
means,
go
right.
Those
are
ones
that
they
are
okay
with.
So
if
you
see
those
throughout
that's
what
that's,
what
that
means?
The
next
red
x,
commercial
up
to
5
000
square
foot,
maximum.
The
recommend
from
the
building
department
was
to
not
include
a
max
unless
there's
another
maximum
amount
that
you
may
want
to
pitch
back
to
the
building
department
for
consideration.
D
C
There's
logic
behind
that
and
the
incentive
that
the
nec
any
z
will
still
allow
is
the
idea-
and
it's
the
next
item-
mixed-use
development
projects,
meaning
that's
fine.
You
can
do
ten
square
feet
of
commercial,
but
then
it
better
have
like
residents
above
it.
So
I
I
do
believe
we
actually
should
stand
strong
on
that,
because
it
actually
goes
against
what
texas
defines
neighborhood
empowerment
zones
should
do.
They're
mainly
targeted
for
housing,
not
commercial.
D
C
C
C
A
A
Y'all
can
bring
up
a
special
committee
leading
or
do
it
in
the
general,
but
I
do
for
the
sake
of
time,
I'd
rather
close
out
the
general
meeting
that
we
have,
because
the
subcommittee
richard
beam,
if
we
want
to
immediately
actor,
continue
going
over
those
points
and
then
bring
it
back
to
the
general
committee
for
everybody's
full
approval
and
that
will
have
to
feel
rushed
with
bringing
developing
a
full
policy.
That's
going
to
be
established
for
years
to
come
in
15
minutes
right.
A
F
A
C
Policy,
so
I
I
don't
yeah,
I
I
think
this
is
an
old.
I
I'm
not
sure
if
you
put
this
on
your
graphite
from
the
last
meeting
we're
supposed
to
have,
but
the
last
update
we
had
we're
waiting
on
staff
to
come
back
to
us
on
this
one
too,
there's
no
other
update.
Besides
what
we
gave
last
time,
which
was
that
this
that
the
individual,
the
city
hired,
was
not
going
to
work
for
what
we
were
trying
to
do
right.
D
And
then
we
we
broke
got
into
the
well
the
subcommittees
and
commit
you
know
if
I'm
wrong.
You
know
correct
me
julian,
but
what
I
remember
is
that
the
subcommittee
was
supposed
to
meet
on
this
and
come
back
with
some
some
ideas
that
we
could
incorporate
into
a
rfq
to
shoot
out
kind
of
highlighting
what
we
wanted
to
focus
on
on
rfq,
so
that
the
city
can
do
our
part
and
actually
publish
that.
C
D
F
C
A
So,
just
to
kind
of
go
over,
we
we
made
sure
that
his
question
was
was
passed
so
that
that
doesn't
get
striked
out
yes
as
a
priority,
and
then
aside
from
that,
if
the
nazi
item
was
tabled,
that
will
be
going
on
for
further
discussion
and
brought
up
either
for
a
special
meeting.
If
I
need
it
or
hopefully
next
time.
Okay,
sorry,
for
that
everybody
have
any
of
those
reports.
A
A
A
So
even
though
the
interest
was
to
maintain
that
historic
hotel
and
we
tried
our
best
to
do
it,
and
if
you
didn't,
you
know
you
have
that
you
created
an
opportunity
in
laredo
to
bring
economic
growth.
So
I
don't
want
to
say
it's
a
happy
ending
we're
not
there
yet,
but
at
least
it
was
you
know
you
got
somewhere
with
that
it
didn't
it
didn't,
go
to
waste,
so
I
just
thought
I'd
make
that
comment.
They're
emotionally
returned.
