A
A
A
A
Second,
second,
Fred
Nicki,
all
those
in
favor
aye
motion
carries
next.
Item
is
discussion.
These
are
our
only
agenda.
Item
is
presentational
presentations
with
possible
action
by
the
City
of
Arabia
comments
as
a
director
of
technical
SEO
on
economic
development
initiatives
considered
by
the
city,
low
rate,
so
mr.hotsia
you
want
to
introduce
yourself
I.
Will
you
know
everybody
here
in
the
room
and
not
we.
D
Well,
well,
thank
you,
mister
chairman
of
thinking
that
appreciate
that,
and
thanks
for
being
here,
I'd
like
to
start
by
saying
I've
I've
been
welcomed
very
warmly.
Loretta,
it's
been
up
a
month
since
I
started,
we
start
on
August
5th
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
generally,
my
feeling
is
I've
been
drinking
out
of
a
fire
hose.
You
know
for
the
last
several
weeks
trying
to
learn
as
much
as
I
can.
Excuse
me
up
from
different
stakeholders
from
department
heads
from
political
leaders,
etc.
D
You
know
so
I
can
do
the
right
thing
and
so
I
so
I
understand
what
what
happens.
You
know
when
such
a
move
would
take
place
and
to
understand
the
players
and
who
is
important
and
who
and
who
can
help
me,
etc.
So
that's
what
I'm
doing
that's.
Why
I'm,
studying
the
give
an
example
I've
had
51
meetings
in
the
last
21
days?
D
We
am
doing
as
much
as
I
can
working
with
our
city
managers
and
and
trying
to
get
us
on
the
path.
And
so
my
short-term
you
know,
goals
are
to
you
is
to
address
some
of
the
low-hanging
fruit
in
terms
of
economic
development
that
we
can.
We
can
get
out
and
then,
at
the
same
time,
trying
to
keep
the
the
back.
D
D
Well,
let
me
tell
you
about
that
trip
the,
as
you
probably
saw
in
the
paper,
read
it
on
your
own.
As
a
text,
I
was
able
to
allocate
an
additional
two
hundred
twenty
million
dollars
to
the
radial
area,
to
its
Laredos
district,
for
its
movements
on
on
the
de
loop
and
on
thirty-five
finishing
the
overpasses
and
expanding
thirty
five.
So.
D
But
but
these
particular
this
particular
extra
money
was
specifically
for
a
radial
okay,
220
million
right
additional.
That's
the
completely
looted
right
finished,
finish
up
the
bullet,
blue
22,
interstate
standards,
interconnectors,
yes,
and
then
expand
59
a
little
bit
and
then
white
is
35
in
that
chunk
got.
It
has
right
now
where
it
goes
down
to
turn
lanes
and
expands
to
three
more
and
then
to
put
one
more
flyover
in
the
end.
D
Spaghetti
bowl
intersection
over
there
they're
still
gonna
lack
one
last
flyover
and
I
forget
which
one
it
is,
but
with
this
extra
money,
don't
have
like
five
of
the
six
levels
complete
so
Wow,
so
the
merit
I
was
able
to
address
the
coder
who
was
able
to
meet
privately
with
a
text
out
of
commission
chairman,
commit
commit
conditional
bug
and
then
he
was
able
to
meet
with
address
the
Commission
during
the
regular
meeting
and
I
was
there
with
Hammond
while
he
was
there.
D
I
had
my
reached
out
to
the
Secretary
of
State,
who
went
over
right
hand.
Person
Secretary
of
State
was
just
named
Secretary
of
State.
She
was
a
Texas
Workforce
Commission
before
and,
as
you
know,
the
previous
Secretary
of
State
was
not
confirmed
by
the
Senate,
and
so
he
had
to
go
away,
and
so
they
named
a
new
person.
It
looks
like
she's
gonna
come
through
with
flying
colors
I've,
reached
of
the
day
that
she
was
made
I
reached
out
to
her
deputy
secretary,
who
I
with
and
said:
hey.
We
want
the
steady
deputies.
D
We
want
the
Secretary
of
State
to
come
to
Laredo
before
she
goes
anywhere
else
anymore.
As
you
know,
the
Secretary
of
State's
responsibilities,
which
mainly
two
things
1
over
CR
Texas,
this
relationship
with
Mexico
and
also
book
all
elections
in
Texas,
so
I
reached
out.
He
said
yes,
let
me
talk
to
her.
She
said
yes,
she'd
come
to
Laredo.
First
couldn't
give
a
date.
I
spoke
to
her
staffer,
that
is
in
charge
of
Mexico
and
and
so
we
had
a
meeting
and
we
started
arranging
what
her
trip
might
look
like
when
she
comes
here.
D
B
D
They
don't
just
go
out
to
to
to
a
big
contractor
all
right.
B
D
And
so
what
they'll
do
is
they'll
come
in
till
the
radio
and
run
out
of
space
and
then
work
from
like
8:30
to
one,
but
they
do
a
couple
of
presentations
on
chests
how
small
businesses
and
historically
under,
like
underutilized
businesses,
can
get
into
tech
stocks
letting
process,
and
one
of
the
sessions
they'll
have
is
they'll,
go
through
all
their
projects
in
their
in
the
region
say.
This
is
everything
that
we're
doing
and
then
the
next
workshop
might
be
hey.
This
is
how
you
can
get
in
as
a
sub.
D
D
G
Announce
something
that
that,
although
with
my
soul,
that
on
as
well
knowing
that
your
I
spoke
to
them,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
resources,
I
believe
through
the
SBDC
that
we
could
bring
down
here,
I
know
years
past
we've
had
the
South,
Texas
or
Southwest
minority
supplier
development
council
come
down
there.
There's.
B
G
D
B
D
Know
this
is
a
devotion
for
me,
but
I've
said
to
a
couple
of
these
workshops
and
some
of
the
things
that
they
bring
up
to
the
small
business
is
there
so
that
hey
just
for
once
is
one
who
said
hey
think
of
any
construction
site.
Did
you
see
that
we've
had
here
recently?
They
said
you
see
fencing
around,
though,
because
the
contractor,
the
general
contractor,
is
not
doing
that
fencing.
So
here's
a.
B
D
For
you
to
go,
do
the
pencil
you
know
the
dirt
moving
that
the
the
highway
dividers.
Those
are
all
done
separately
with
subs
and
contractors
and
that's
what
they
were
pitching
to
the
small
businesses.
They
say.
If
you
think
you
can't
do
it,
they
said
you
really
can't
just
come
talk
to
us
about
it.
So
that's
the
kind
of
opportunity
set
their
mind
system
start
with
I.
E
B
G
E
Mean
we
understand
we
can
I
mean
this
is
the
money
that
comes
out
so
here
and
really
that's
the
most
important
thing
that
we
to
work
out
even
before,
adding
just
a
flyover
just
for
the
people
honestly
we'll
get
to
there
when
we
and
getting
to
the
highway
standards
on
life's
Road.
Well,
it's
very
costly.
So
we
want
to
do
an
outer
loop
ends.
Type
of
billion
fathers
isn't
that
expensive
I
mean.
D
Does
provide
a
challenge,
it's
a
good
problem
to
have
honesty,
but
it's
a
challenge:
flyovers,
there's
not
what
is
that?
What's
the
name
of
the
boulevard,
there
were
Killian
comes
from
one
side:
ghetto
Boulevard,
oh
yeah,
though
any
word
from
head
again.
You
know,
then
the
U
is
D
wants
to
build
a
middle
school
kiddo
and
that's
causing
some
issues.
D
D
Once
you
get
money
right,
you
you're
getting
it,
but
you
automatically
have
to
think-
and
this
is
my
thing-
okay,
what
are
we
gonna
do
next,
but
I'll
guarantee
you
that
that
money,
that
discretionary
money
that
we've
got
is
very
competitive.
So
as
if
we're
getting
200
million
granted,
it's
not
a
billion
or
two
billion,
but
I'll
guarantee
you
because
I've
worked
as
for
sometimes
is
that
the
folks
in
Houston
and
Austin
and
Dallas
notice
that
and
they
went
to
their
Center
and
go
hey-
why
the
hell's
Lorado
get
two
hundred
million
they're
tiny!
D
A
D
D
A
E
B
E
D
E
Give
you
another
go
myself,
you
know
that
idea
went
with
when
you
definitely
finishes
hits
mines
broke
and
your
run
already
across
the
killer
cut.
There's
a
great
there's
a
turnaround
for
that,
and
you
have
a
middle
go
straight
up,
and
then
you
have
your
left
to
turn
to
your
right.
The
first
two
should
be
able
to
make
a
lip
and
that
will
really
be
able
of
the
trellis.
D
F
B
D
So
you
probably
know
about
the
development
that
whatever
the
name
of
the
gentleman
is
that
he's
actually
upstairs
right
now
proposing
500
new
normal.
Yes,
sir
I'm
not
sure
I
didn't
meet
him,
but
but
that's
so
imagine
I'm
so
truly
agreed.
There's
only
one
gentleman
up
there
now
talking
about
that
development,
but
they're
talking
about
any
500
homes
right
United,
it's
gonna,
add
a
middle
school
back
there.
So
you're
talking
about
buses
now
you're
talking
about
kids
walking
around
and
that's
all
in
that
you
know
area
so
are
yes,.
E
A
E
D
G
C
G
G
G
G
See
more
residences
getting
built
right
across
the
street
from
the
airport
name
I,
without
looking
into
it
being
versed
on
those
things.
I
don't
understand
it,
but
I
have
I
know
some
people
that
live
close
to
World
Trade
bridge
and
they
say
it's
like
a
jet
throwing
by
your
house
and
I,
don't
know
if
anybody's
ever
looked
at
or
what
that
loft
is
that
if
these
houses
are
being
built,
Rd
withstand
those
sound
levels
or
if.
B
D
D
And
everything
I
don't
know
if
this
applies
here,
but
this
could
be
the
case
where,
unlike
the
airport,
where
it
has
a
lot
of
older
housing
stock
here
in
those
houses
have
been
there
really
long
time
before
therefore
became
a
commercial
airport
and
therefore
sometimes
you
can
qualify
for
for
remediation.
You
know
our
mitigation
sound
mitigation
of
funding
from
the
federal
government,
but
in
the
bridges
case
the
bridge
was
their
neighborhood
showed
up
in
most
cases
later.
So
it's
hard
to
find
funding
or
sympathy,
sometimes
in
the
government
for
getting
those
folks.
C
C
F
E
G
D
C
As
you
can,
and
and
what
I
would
hope
is
when
there's
things
that
are
being
done,
that
don't
follow
the
director
that
it's
David
and
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
times
where
we're
just
gonna
get
distracted
and
we
go
to
try
to
do
something
else.
When
the
an
servers
are
in
that
document
and
and
it's
a
road
map
and
I
think
it
needs
to
be
stated.
If
we're
diverting
from
that
yeah.
D
D
Mr.
forget
general
Miller,
no
mr.
Miller
from
the
the
new
airport
director,
maybe
in
two
months
to
come,
but
he
he
is
just
about
to
launch
a
master
plan,
a
land-use
plan
for
the
airport
and
an
outside
of
the
defense.
So
you
probably
would
be
interested
to
see
how
that's
going
in
the
process,
but
but
that's
that's
gonna
address
some
of
the
challenges
around
the
airport
and
then
also
how
we
can
be
better
at
economic
development
around
here.
That's
that's.
E
D
F
D
Speak
for
mr.
Miller,
however,
we
have
we've
already
had
a
couple
of
conversations
regarding
economic
development
and
one
of
them
lasted
about
two
hours
or
so,
and
my
feeling
is
that
he's
going
in
the
right
direction.
I
need
to
work
within
their
share
of
the
airport,
has
a
lot
of
potential
for
economic
development,
so
he's
doing
the
land
use.
D
B
D
F
D
E
D
I'll,
do
that
do
that
this
again
everything
yeah
the
security
messed,
a
lot
of
things
up
I
mean
had
that
same
issue
until
they
were
able
to
expand.
My
challenge
have
the
same
issue
until
they
were
able
to
expand,
and
you
know
Macallan
expanded
their
or
the
only
had
one
game,
but
they
have
to
pay
like
about.
D
You
know
thirty,
where
it
was
a
twenty
nine
million
dollars
to
expand
the
airport,
but
really
it
was
all
dealing
with
security
in
the
space
man
because
they
made
things
so
tough
and
I
think
we're
thankful
for
that
for
the
security.
But
it
is
a
real
hassle
and,
and
local
governments
are
having
it
because.
D
D
Maybe
we
can
talk
about
it
makes
me
mean
wherever,
but
one
is
I
was
telling
John
that
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
things
happen
in
Laredo
and
I'm.
Gonna
I
want
to
work
my
my
hardest
to
get
to
everything,
but
in
such
a
dynamic
city
we
have
the
industrials
and
the
bridges
and
the
airports
and
the
downtown's
and
so
I.
D
You
know,
there's
a
certain
amount
of
bandwidth
and
if
you
want
to
be
really
good
at
this
thing,
you
have
to
figure
out
what's
the
priority,
so
I'm
kind
of
working
with
the
city
managers
to
see
Council
mayor,
though
you
know
giving
me
advice
along
with
that
committee
here,
to
try
to
figure
out
what
wait.
What
is
it
that
we're
gonna?
You.
D
Know
it's
a
lot
of
fun,
but
but
a
couple
of
things
I
think
that
we
can
get
to
real
short
term
is
as
an
as
an
EDA
grant
or
the
application
for
media
to
get
broadband
downtown.
Okay,
that's
a
it's!
It's
happening
very!
D
F
B
B
C
To
that
sentiment
is
I,
know,
you're
being
pulled
in
many
directions,
this
organization,
not
as
a
sounding
board,
but
so
became
to
that
I'd
love
to
sit
down
with
you
on
that
and
get
my
one
involved
and
seeing
take
some
back
with
a
few,
because
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
the
radio
and
I
feel
like
this
has
been
missed.
A
lot
of
time
you
can
tap
into
it
will
assist
in
these
things.
That's.
D
D
You
know
I
mean
their
politics
are
what
they
are,
but
on
my
level
you
know,
I
have
to
work
with
everybody,
and
so
in
order
to
get
things
done
best.
That's
what
I'm
looking
for
I
met
with
LC,
twice
le
EC
three
times
and,
and
so
those
are,
the
kind
of
partner
said
that
we're
looking
for.
But
yes,
of
course,
which
brings
me
to
my
to
my
second
food-for-thought
thing
and
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
to
bring
to
the
group,
is
up
its
up.
I
was
able
to
have
a
very
limited
time
here.
D
D
One
you're
repairing
this
this
one.
This
is
something
new,
okay,
totally
new
and
so
well.
What
I
want
to
concentrate
on
is
getting
some
funding
into
the
entrepreneurs
hands
right,
so
they're
not
worried
about
restoring
and
building
then
building
a
business
in
there
there's
some
plenty
of
building
owners
downtown
some
are
doing
things.
D
B
D
D
A
few
folks
to
that
our
building
owners
and
art
and
are
doing
renovations
to
maybe
try
to
move,
move
a
little
faster
making
on
some
of
their
buildings
because
they
know
there
are
going
to
be
some
some
folks
available.
I
don't
have
the
rules
down
yet
I,
don't
have
the
action
plan.
We
just
got
approved
last
Thursday
for
the
funding
which
is
$60,000
and
so
I
pitched
it
as
a
pilot
program.
Let's
see
if
we
can
get
better
work,
maybe
we
can
help,
and
this
is
again
we're
thinking
out
loud
here
with
the
budget.
D
B
D
Have
to
report
it
to
us
after
30
days
after
90
days,
just
this
is
where
I
would
need
some
partners
like
from
SBDC.
So
a
small
business
counselor
can
sit
with
them
and
say:
hey:
what
are
you
are
you
have?
Do
you
have
cash
flow,
or
do
you
see
a
problem
coming
up
or
or
are
you
because,
as
you
all
know,
a
small
business
I
mean
it's
a
tough
situation.
That's
why
a
lot
of
them
closed
now.
So
now
that
we
funded
six,
not.
G
G
That's
one
question:
the
other
question
is
there's
quite
a
few
people
in
the
last
year
or
two
that
have
already
put
their
skin
in
the
game
and
they
might
be
struggling
so
I,
don't
know
if
maybe
maybe
five
and
then
maybe
allocate
the
other
ten
towards
helping
the
other
ones
that
are
already
there
staying
in
business.
If
that's
an
eternal.
D
G
G
We're
constantly
talking
about
you,
know
doing
things
for
downtown
event
in
downtown
I.
Don't
know
the
answer,
but
I
don't
know
if
the
CVP
is
aligned
with
that
as
well.
When
there's
advertising
dollars
when
there's
you
know,
there's
some
things.
You
know
you
can
go
right
on
the
court.
So
then
you
look
at
SP
Monsanto
in
Mexico,
City
and
they're
advertising
the
shopping
or
you
you're,
already
30
miles
away
from
the
city.
There's
a
billboard
for
that
shopping.
You
know,
and
I
have
to
tell
people
I
go
out
of
town.
G
G
Want
to
go
somewhere,
you're
not
going
to
be
caught
in
traffic,
and
it's
not
going
to
take
you
20
minutes
see
of
the
tree,
and
so
we
have
to
really
look
at
those
areas
where
maybe
there's
some
a
nostalgia
of
how
it
used
to
be
that
we're
still
developing,
though
so
we
still
have
that
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
anything
we
put
in
that
we're
backing
that
up
with
that
marketing,
as
as
a
city
that
they're
supporting
those
types
of
messages
as
well.
That's
that
we
could
potentially
tap
into
a
millennial.
G
D
I
don't
know
there
I
don't
want
to
answer
to
that
question
in
terms
of
what
they
do,
how
they
market,
Lorado
or
or
downtown,
but
you
know
I'm
getting
to
that.
Other
departments.
I
haven't
met
with
you,
but
in
terms
of
the
this
program
related
to
what
you're
saying
is
yeah,
there
is
definitely
a
marketing
component
to
it.
I
think
the
competition
itself
and
us
announcing
it.
You
know
once
we
get
all
the
our
ducks
in
a
row.
D
Like
me,
yeah,
it
means
real
early
for
me
to
say
yeah,
but
but
that's
that's
the
idea
that
I
mean
they.
They
know
downtown.
They
know
small
business
so,
but
the
idea
is
for
us
to
to
spark
some
entrepreneurship
and
some
innovation
downtown
and
also
to
create
those
other
things
to
create
some
shops
that
we
don't
have.
So
that's
another
thing
that
we
can
build.
We
can
we
can
kind
of
get
the
rules
to
where.
C
D
G
D
G
Was
the
same
concept
in
us?
Go
to
a
part
of
Detroit
that
they're
trying
to
liven
up
again
revamp
and
it's
some
type
of
collaboration
with
the
building
owners,
where
some
of
the
money
went
to
fixing
the
building,
as
we
did
for
the
restaurant
or
whatever
business,
but
it
also
included
a
mentor
and
mandatory
business
classes.
So.
G
There
was
a
public
boudin
on
one
round,
and
so
there
was
a
different
ways
to
do
it,
but
I
think
the
key
is
is
to
not
just
you
know,
hand
out,
and
then
the
scheme
that
game
but
make
sure
your.
Oh,
you
have
the
resources
to
ensure
success
as
best
as
we
can
or
that
marketing
comes
in
and
all
that
other
supportive
things
that
might
not
be
directly
at
60,000
yeah.
C
C
C
D
D
D
This
is
an
early
idea,
so
I'll
just
to
address
your
point.
This
is
an
early
idea,
ran
a
few,
a
pilot
program.
Yes,
so,
and
in
my
you
know,
opinion
though
the
City
Council
doesn't
really
know
me
yet
right,
and
so,
but
yet
they
said.
Okay,
you
know
what
we're
gonna
do
the
60
grand
for
this
pilot
program
didn't.
D
D
Well,
let's,
let's
not
get
down
to
five
people,
but
I
think
that
the
the
downtown
councilmen
should
be
there
and
maybe
the
mayor
and
this
initial
and
then
we
have
to
have
an
we
have
to
have
a
business
owner
from
downtown
yeah
right
whatever.
That
is.
A
D
So
and
then
like
I,
don't
really
have
to
be
on,
but
it
could
be
someone
like
myself,
but
but
the
point
is
we'll
have
a
diverse
group.
Yes,
there
should
be
folks
who
I
mean
Julia's
here,
but
we
don't
have
that
downtown
presence
here
on
this.
A
G
G
D
G
G
Those
are
the
same
donors
that
are
already
stretched
in
giving
10,000
to
everybody
who
asks
you
know
and
so
and
and
it
also
that
might
also
cause
restrictions
on
what
we're
allowed
to
move
forward
on
and
whatnot
because
they
might
not
fall
with
somebody's
values
or
in
my
computer
wherever
it
is,
you
never
know,
there's
always
strings
attached.
If
I
may
I
know
you
have
your
agenda
I'm.
So
sorry,
I,
don't
even
intended.
G
D
A
B
G
There
was
one
thing
you
mentioned
that
happen:
Lorado
gets,
is
the
200
million
or
whatever
it
is,
and
people
look
at
the
size
and
things
like
that,
so
we
went
to
the
federal
office
with
techstop
and
they
were
like
hey.
You
know
you
guys
talk
about
at
a
state
level
to
make
it
more
based
on
the
needs,
not
the
side,
but
then
they
came
to
us
and
one
like,
but
as
text
out,
we
can
only
do
so
much.
B
G
B
G
C
B
G
G
G
Mario
Benjamin's
now
retired
he
was
a
chairman
of
the
chamber
or
past
chairman,
and
they
created
they
got
the
president
of
every
Business
Association
that
we
could
get
to
attend
a
meeting
and
it
ended
up
being
a
loosely
it's
13
of
us.
This
includes
the
University,
the
College,
the
Realtors,
the
builders,
the
motor
carriers,
the
custom
brokers,
the
freight
forwarders
LED,
see
downtown
merchants.
G
B
B
G
College
tell
me
you,
so
the
president
of
each
organization
sits
at
the
table,
you
mean
in
originally,
it
was
formed
because
we
felt
that
there
was
a
disconnect.
There
was
one
particular
thing:
City
Council
was
working
on
passing
that
we
felt
was
a
very.
It
was
a
setback
for
the
business
community
to
prosper,
I,
don't
remember
exactly
which
business
community
or
what
it
was.
But
if
something
that
we
all
kind
of
started
meeting
on
and
talking
about.
G
More
dialog
than
all
this
stuff-
and
it's
just
so
important
because
you
know
they
say
one
hand
washes
the
other.
You
know:
you're
gonna
need
private
dollars
to
help
fund
public
things
or
public
money
to
make
sure
it
goes
into
what
the
trends
are
and
if
the
needs
are
we're
talking
about
putting
a
bridge
there
or
expanding
a
bridge
there.
What
is
the
current
need
based
on
the
businesses?
So
it's
very
nice
that
we
all
have
a
voice
and
we
have
an
opportunity
to
discuss
what's
affecting
our
different.
D
G
G
G
D
E
B
F
D
So
we
really
don't
have
unless
this
ignore
target
plan.
As
y'all
know
from
the
my
application
and
y'all's
discussions,
you
know
in
the
hiring
process
is
up,
you
know,
I
did
to
government
relations
deal
for
about
a
dozen
years
right,
and
so
one
thing
out.
I'll
leave
you
with
on
that
topic
is
those
awesome.
Trips
are
very
important
right.
Are
these
DC
trips
as
well,
however,
and
I
would
encourage
any
so
you
do
that
or
organization
nonprofit.
D
Whatever
you
got
to
do
it,
however,
the
real
work
for
what
you
want
to
get
done
starts
this
January
in
the
off
year.
You're,
not
working
your
issue
from
January
to
October
the
chances
that
your
issue
gets.
You
know
done
or
get
slimmer
by
the
day
because
come
October,
November
first
bills
are
filed
in
November
people
already
know
what
the
agendas
are,
the
all
these
elected
leaders.
D
They
know
what
their
issues
they're
going
to
to
tackle
and
they
know
because
they've
been
hearing
from
their
constituents
all
summer
and
it's
rain
so
you're
not
on
the
other
484
P.
If
we
wait
till
again
to
the
end,
it's
not
gonna
happen,
so
we
need
to
be
in
in
Greg
Abbott's
office
and
with
and
make
sure
that
all
our
elected
leaders
are
lined
up
right
with
that.
D
If
that's
what
we
want
to
do
or
whatever
the
issue
might
be,
you
need
to
do
that
now
and
also
during
that
offseason
like
in
the
spring
there's
some
committee
hearings
that
the
homework
that
the
governor
and
the
speaker,
the
house
gives
their
their
committees
to
meet
over
the
summer,
but
no
one's
in
their
offices,
I
mean
in
terms
of
like
other,
can
other
groups
and
constituents
you
go
to
you
go
to
Austin
everybody's.
There
crowd
Andy,
just
one
minute,
you're
gonna
race,
pile
on
them.
D
E
E
B
G
E
D
I've
worked
with
boards
that
actually
run
the
organization,
not
in
the
Treasury
committee
I've
seen
the
relationships
similar,
but
you
know
moving
forward.
I
think
when
you
hope
that
that
today
is
you
know,
you
lend
your
expertise
to
some
of
the
things
that
I'm
involved
in
some
of
the
initiatives
that
we
might
move
forward
on.
You'll
have
a
wealth
of
knowledge,
so
those
contributions
was
what
I
welcome,
especially
a
newcomer.
You
got
elaborate
a
lot
of
times,
but
ever
have
till
didn't
work
here
and
try
to
succeed
and.
B
F
Like
to
mention
one
thing,
because
I
hadn't
heard
anything
that
we
had
Holly
had
believed
you
had
said
something
and
the
business
deal
you
missed
out
on
a
big
project,
because
we
don't
have
the
infrastructure,
the
water
of
the
light.
Is
there
anything
that
you
they
can
start
the
city
can
start
so
that
we
can
add
that
next
time,
something
like
this
comes
up
part
that.
D
G
D
They're,
addressing,
though
the
I
know
that
the
water
issue
is
being
addressed
right
now,
I
was,
as
you
know,
there's
some
real
challenges
with
it,
but
where
the
meetings
I
have
been
in
the
last
month,
which
is
not
very
long
history,
but
there
I
know
the
south
side
is
is
is
getting
water
and
sewer
and
then
they're
taking
care
of
this
Northside
issue
with
the
Pico
plant
or
whatever.
That
was
I'm,
not
as
well-versed
on
what
all
the
problems
were,
but
part.
A
B
D
C
Works
ordeal.
What
I
hope,
though,
because
this
is
the
first
time
the
city
has
someone
city
specifically
on
on
deals
like
this
one?
It
fell
through
I,
don't
know
what
it
was
really
worth
or
you
know
the
long-term
perspective,
but
you
know
a
million
dollars
a
mile.
Would
that
have
cost
the
city?
Let's.
C
That
takes
us
50
years
to
recoup
in
the
amount
of
investment
to
get
that
company.
Was
it
really
worth
it
and
I
and
I
hope
the
trunk
David
yeah
the
cost-benefit
is
don't
be
short-sighted
because
it's
easy
to
be
like
you
know
what
we
brought
a
company
here,
but
what
did
it
cost
us
that
it
increase
quality
of
life,
there's
very
high,
paying
jobs?
These
I
think
we
we
always
kind
of
get
lost
of
we're
chasing
the
car
and
you
finally
catch
it,
and
then
we
kind
of
realize
what
we
did
all
these
in
Suffolk.
A
F
D
B
D
D
D
D
G
D
You
know
finding
key
people,
especially
the
attorneys
and
the
governor's
office,
that
review
legislation
get
an
int
understand
because
obviously
the
governor's
not
reading
it
himself
right,
but
this
past
yeah
I'll
be
honest
with
you
my
opinion.
Any
city
related
tax
issue.
That's
long
before
the
governor
was
not
going
to
get
out
of
his
office,
because
this
pass
was
open
season
on
cities,
yeah.
D
To
the
three
point:
five
percent:
before
it's
an
election,
it
went
from
eight
to
three
point:
five
percent
justified
any
initiative
that
cities
had
weather
was
taxes
or
not.
It
was
killed
by
by
the
governor's
office
or
it
was
killed
in
the
Senate,
and
so
it
wasn't
a
good
time
to
ask.
You
got
to
ask
anyway
no
problem
dad,
but
that's
why
it
didn't
come
out.
It
really
wasn't
because
hey
he
hated
Laredo
Dallas
didn't
getting
me.
D
F
Right
and
that's
why
we're
gonna
get
near
out
of
Austin
what
Houston
or
Dallas
does
and
then
you
know,
I
would
think
this
is
dead.
This
is
kind
of,
but
if
we
had
at
least
forty
percent
voting
here
with
an
R
or
forty
five
percent,
it
doesn't
care.
If
we
never
wanted.
You
know
everything
for
but
you'd
have
some
representation.
They
feel
some
obligation
to
take
care
of
some.
E
D
That's
I
think
that's
a
conversation
up.
You
know
to
be
had
maybe
some
other
day,
but
but
there
are
political
realities
and
economic
development
and
and
that's
one
of
but
in
my
case
you
know,
I
work
closely
with
whoever's
in
office
and
whether
either
and
are
independent-
and
you
know,
I
try
to
make
them
aware
of
what
Lorado
has
and
how
we
can
model
that's
going
to
benefit
the
state
in
the
country
and
that's
what's
most
important.
D
B
A
D
E
G
E
G
Always
present
for
the
most
part,
so
I
mean
they.
They
let
us
know
a
lot
of
what
they
have
going
on.
So
that's
one
thing,
but
since
Carla
Milano
is
the
person
I
reached
out
to
for
industrial
park
sport,
he
we
decided
to
wakeful
after
this
is
I
think
Aziz.
The
he's
chairing
this
I
did
had
too
many
ma
about
pork
run.
It
and
I
know
we
have
to
divide
it.
