A
F
D
E
A
H
Oh
go
ahead,
well,
I'm
interested
in
the
headline
news.
The
other
day
in
the
newspaper.
It
said
that
Laredo
has
recaptured
its
number
one
position
in
trade.
I,
don't
know
what
the
billion
dollar
number
was,
but
I
knew
it
was
a
bit
at
least
multiple
billions
of
dollars
and
I'm
wondering
when
there
will
be
a
a
group
of
the
includes
the
city
and
the
county
and
the
state
and
the
federal
government
to
address
what
the
entrance
to
our
City.
D
H
State
and
Nation
looks
like
I
was
there
the
other
night
and
it
is
dirty,
it
is
dark.
It
is
not
safe
and
who's
in
charge
of
that
I'm
wondering
when
there'll
be
some
kind
of
when
we
can
work
together
so
that
we
find
some
money
to
address
that,
because
the
tours
is
it's
more
specific.
It's
not.
It
can
address
something
that
that
our
again
City,
County,
State
and
Nation
are
benefiting
from
this
trade.
H
That's
coming
into
the
tune
of
billions
of
dollars
and
and
that's
and
anybody
can
go
out
there
to
see
what
it
looks
like
any
time
of
night
and
even
in
the
night
time
there's
a
you
know:
there's
pedestrian
traffic
and
women,
children,
there's
people
crossing
all
the
time,
and
and
it's
you
know
it's
it's.
You
know
it's
not
something
that
I
think
that
we
are
proud
of.
A
Yeah
I
mean
I,
agree,
I,
think
that's
been
a
lighted
area
for
many
years
now,
I
remember.
We
had
some
homeless
folks
living
there
when
we
have
more
trees
and
more
brush
where
they
could
hide
I'm
going
back
many
years
like
six
years,
I
say
many,
but
in
in
recent
time
we
remove
them
from
the
location.
We
went
out
there,
some
elected
officials
and
I.
We
moved
them
because
we
had
something
coming
and
nothing
got
realized,
so
I
mean
in
terms
of
our
business
I.
A
Think
and
it's
it's
related
to
one
of
the
items
I
wanted
to
touch
on,
because
I
saw
I
like
the
discussion
that
was
had
about
the
parking,
the
angle
parking
for
the
for
the
plazas,
and
we
ought
to
put
that
into
motions.
So
what
I
would
suggest
is
staying
along
the
lines
of
accountability
for
those
for
those
four
blocks.
A
I
know
there's
some
traction:
there's
always
some
traction,
but
I
I
think
we
should
cover
some
baseline
right
at
least
have
it
have
some
sod
and
some
trees
that
we
wouldn't
would
raise
and
keep
them
watered
I'm
in
agreement,
if
I
I
would
not
object.
I
would
support
an
item
that
we
would
make
a
plead
in
writing
to
to
our
leadership
to
to
tend
to
that
at
a
baseline.
A
While
we
put
something
up
while
we
work
on
it
and
then
two
if
this,
if
this
board
can
assist
with
funding
to
on
niches
right,
because
we
don't
have
enough
to
do,
we
have
way
Lots
other
things
to
achieve
with
very
little
money.
But
if
we
wanted
to,
you
know
make
a
point
about
keeping
things
up
there.
A
lot
of
it
is
really
maintenance.
H
You
know
and
I'm,
specifically
speaking
out
of
the
four
blocks
but
I'm,
specifically
speaking
of
bridge
number,
one,
the
desert,
the
only
pedestrian
bridge
in
the
city
and
I'm
speaking
about
pedestrians,
because
our
mission
is
connected
to
walkability,
so
I'm
I'm,
addressing
the
the
walkable
nature
I'm
addressing
Saragosa
street,
where
the
pedestrians
come
in
and
what
I'm?
What
I
am
begging
for
is
an
alliance
of
the
different
entities
that
not
only
connect
to
that
as
our
in
our
city,
but
benefit
from
that.
Financially
and
there's.
H
It's
I
know
that
they
think
they're
doing
I
think
it's
not
that
they're
willfully
ignoring
it
I
understand
that
they're
not
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
imagining
that
they're
willfully
keeping
funding
from
addressing
that
need.
I,
think
they
just
don't
know,
I
think
the
county
just
doesn't
know,
and
the
city
doesn't
know
who
to
put
in
charge
and
the
certainly
the
state
TxDOT.
And
you
know
we
have
a
big.
Well,
you
see
them.
H
We
have
a
quite
a
presence
of
federal
officers
in
that
area
and
the
the
lack
of
an
alliance
to
to
work
together
to
create
something
that
we
that
we're
proud
to
show
the
world.
You
know
front
page
billions
of
dollars
number
one
trade
route,
but
go
down
there
and
take
a
picture
or
sit
out
there,
and
you
know
it's.
We
we
could
use
some
attention.
Yeah.
A
So
I
mean
along
the
same
lines,
is
this
idea
that
you
know
for
years
been
asking
for
a
downtown?
This
is
as
close
as
we've
come
to
having
a
downtown,
at
least
in
my
request,
is
to
have
a
downtown
assistant
city
manager
that
looks
at
downtown
we're
not
not
just
solely
downtown,
but
that
gets
that
assignment.
So
we
have
Mr
Mia
that
served
here.
That's
as
close
as
we
have
kind
of
outcome
to
to
that.
A
I
think
that's
something
that
we
can
continue
to
request
so
that
we
get
some
attention
at
least
from
the
city
Side
you
know,
I
haven't
I,
haven't
really
requested
any
assistance
from
the
county
on
that
issue,
but
I
think
it's
it's
not
out
of
order
for
us
to
to
try
to
deal
with
that
and
bring
folks
together
on
it.
So
if
you,
you
know,
if
you'd
like
to
see
something
on
the
agenda
where
we
we,
we
put
some
teeth
behind
getting
folks
to
to
work
on
this
with
us,
I'd
be
supportive
of
it.
A
I,
don't
know
if
you
anybody
else
wants
to
chime
in
on
that
topic,
I
mean
I,
agree,
I,
I,
don't
it's
hard
to
disagree.
There's
there's
a
tree
that
every
time
he
walks
on
I
will
say.
I
look
at
I
mean
I've
been
saying
that
now
for
five
years
that
tree's
been
dead
and
gone
and
there's
others
that
we
don't
replace
the
conversation
about
who's
going
to
maintain
our
improvements.
Once
these
are
done,
he
always
surfaces
too
so
I
mean
I,
appreciate
you
bringing
that
up
and
it
is.
It
is
a
contemporary
topic.
H
Well,
that's
aesthetic
right
that
purely
what
I'm
talking
about
is
you.
You
said
it
there's
a
little
there's
a
new
little
location
of
snacks
and
whatnot
called
La
Mina
on
Convent
yeah
and
you
can
sit
outside
there
and
just
watch
what's
happening
and,
of
course
there
is
some
on
our
in
our
in
our
improvements.
We
have
those
four
corners
there
at
Zaragoza
and
convent,
and
the
best
way
to
get
ideas
is
to
go
sit
on
Convent
and
just
you
know,
look
at
what's
happening
there
at
the
at
the
traffic.
H
That's
that's
moving
there
and
there,
of
course,
there's
tens
of
thousands
of
people.
You
know
moving
across
that
bridge,
and
that
is
our
history,
that
is
our
City's
history
and
if
I'd
love
to
see
the
the
this
particular
board
is
funded
by
stakeholder
tax
dollars
and,
of
course,
with
your
expertise.
H
You
but
but
this
board
has
been
in
existence
since
2017,
I,
believe
and
funded
by
the
stakeholder
tax
dollars
and
when
Mr
Jimmy
was
here,
and
he
says
all
the
people.
He
knows
he's
not
here
today,
because
I
think
he's
out
of
town,
but
he
lives
out
of
town,
but
that
a
lot
of
the
stakeholders
are
still
unaware
of.
What's
coming
and
and
I.
H
E
H
A
And
I
do
agree
with
the
other
thing.
You
know
you've
mentioned
that.
There's
a
lot.
You
know,
I,
don't
know
how
you
said
it,
but
there
no
one's
intending
not
to
do
something
or
to
work
against
anything.
I
think
we're
just
working,
sometimes
in
silos
and
at
different
different
timing.
If
we
could
all
get
a
line,
I
think
we
would
achieve
much
more
of
it
I.
You
know,
if
there's
an
item
that
needs
to
be
put
on,
that
puts
some
more
teeth
to
that
discussion.
A
I
will
certainly
can
help
craft
it
and
put
it
on
the
next
meeting.
They
will
entail
visiting
people
individually,
including
the
different
texts
and
texting
entities,
to
support
the
effort.
I
think
that
needs
to
happen
are
there
any
items.
I
have
a
couple
of
other
items
to
touch
on
related
to
this,
and
some
of
the
mark
housekeeping
so
I
wanted
to
share
the
ordinance.
May
I
am
I
or
did
you
have
any
other
comments?
Thank
you,
okay.
A
A
If
you
could
just
go
to
so
what
I
wanted
to
make
sure,
because
the
website
doesn't
have
the
the
correct
terms
and
I
and
I
was
going
to
put
it
on
this
agenda
item,
but
I
wanted
to
give
the
board
a
heads
up.
We
really
need
to
elect
a
vice
chair.
Allow
it
it's
happened.
It
happened
last
time.
Obviously,
I
was
hoping
to
be
here
and
something
happened
that
I
couldn't
be
here
and
it'd
be
good,
just
to
have
a
a
Gobot,
a
go-to
Vice
chair.
A
A
On
the
second
paragraph,
you'll
see,
all
all
subsequent
appointments
shall
be
two
two-year
terms
thereafter.
The
mayor
shall
annually
nominated
a
point
by
City
through
city
council,
subject
to
city
council
approval,
a
member
of
the
chair,
so
I'm
due
for
for
this
position
is
due
for
an
appointment
right,
so
we're
going
to
go
through
that
I
already
reached
a
year.
The
mayor
will
need
to
appoint
a
chair,
but,
most
importantly,
the
the
website
has
different
terms
four-year
term.
A
So
it's
not
considered
that
needs
to
be
cleaned
up,
I'm
letting
you
know,
because
I'm
going
to
make
a
request
through
the
council
member
that
that
get
be
corrected
and
then
I'm
also
letting
you
know
that
I
would
like,
if
I'm
still
chairing
next
meeting
like
for
us
to
be
ready
to
handle.
Unless
you,
you
all
feel
different.
Your
Vice
chair
that
advice
chair
would
be
be
nominated
and
voted
on
subsequent
to
this
in
2017.
Also,
they
added
two
members
under
the
and
I.
A
Don't
think
you
have
this
when
it's
on
the
website,
but
this
one
basically
added
to
members
It,
says
positions,
five,
six
and
seven
so
position.
Five
is
the
one
at
the
mayor
appoints.
They
gave
him
two
more
appointments,
so
just
so
you
know
how
do
we
get
to
Seven?
They
made
an
amendment
if
they
passed
an
ordinance,
so
I
wanted
to
give
you
all
this
background.
A
A
A
So
that's
that's
on
this.
The
other
item
we
spoke
a
little
bit
during
during
Ms
Alexander's
discussion.
I
do
agree
that
there
should
be
a
assistant
city
manager.
Person
that
should
be
should
follow
the
downtown
improvements
and
downtown
and
inner
city
too,
and
and
maybe
meeting
with
the
city
manager
and
through
the
council
member.
We
can
achieve
that
that
designation,
we've
tried
before
I'll,
say:
I
mean
I
had
a
really
good
and
I
continue
to
have
a
good
experience
with
Rio
in
the
sport
I
think
it's
very
helpful.
A
I
heard
you
all
heard
the
comments
about
the
water
issues
downtown
those
need
to
be
resolved
in
bringing
the
department
heads
together,
maybe
has
been
a
little
trying
that
the
Consultants
haven't
said
that
I'm
saying
that
and
that
the
other
item
that
I
put
on
the
agenda
is
is
for
that
purpose.
But
if
we
have
a
designee,
then
that
person
can
round
them
up
and
and
make
it
easier
for
them
and
for
everybody
else.
So
anyway,
these
are
kind
of
housekeeping
items
that
I
think
we
need
to.
A
We
need
to
really
try
to
get
them
sorted
out.
The
other.
The
last
thing
I'm
going
to
mention
is
the
clarity
that
we
need
on
who's,
administering
our
projects,
right
project
management
and
administration.
So
often
times
when
we
serve
on
public
boards,
there's
liaisoning
that
occurs,
as
is
the
case
here
with
the
city
Department
with
and
which
is
you
guys,
have
been
great
Your
Community
Development
has
been
nothing
but
good
to
us
in
terms
of
setting
up
our
minutes,
providing
copies
doing
all
of
that.
A
A
So
I
think
we
need
to
clarify
that
and
make
sure
that
whatever
we
expect
the
city
to
do,
we
have
a
good
understanding
where
it
ends
and
where
the
consultant
administrative
job
begins,
so
that
because
we
ask
there's
going
to
be
a
status
right
and-
and
there
may
be
no
movement
which
is
fine,
we'll
start
we'll
we'll
take
care
of
it.
It'll
move
but
it'll
be
important
for
this
board
to
be
clear
about
who's
who's
really
administering
for
this
board.
A
It
may
not
be
something
that
the
city,
the
city
department,
is
doing
so
there's
a
five
percent
admin
fee,
that's
charged.
It's
like
20,
some
thousand
dollars,
it's
not
enough
to
say
well,
we've
got
a
full-time
position
over
there,
so
I
think
and
I
think
what
we
did
when
we
hired
able
city
is.
We
said
we
wanted
them
to
do
a
lot
of
the
project
management
that
needs
to
be
clear
and
they're
doing
they're
doing
what
we're
asking
them
to
do.
It's
more
like
making
it
clear.
A
So
I
did
visit
with
Rick
a
little
bit
about.
It
is
to
maybe
change
the
way
we
do
the
agenda
to
take
care
of
that
admin
piece
up
front.
So
when
the
question
comes
up,
why
is
this
happening?
What's
the
timeline
that
we're
answering
it
as
a
board,
because
it's
really
sits
on
us,
I
I
saw
I,
don't
want
to
belaborate,
but
I,
see
dead,
sea
and
I
know.
There's
another
board,
that's
dealing
with
not
similar
issues
there.
A
A
It
needs
to
be
brought
up
and
I'll
take
care
of
raising
that
issue
myself
for
clarity,
the
admin
piece,
it's
clear
to
me
that
able
City
can
charge
us
for
if
we
say
help
us
with
these
meetings,
coordinate
them.
That's
our
expectation.
That's
we
actually
hired
them
to
help
us
do
that
student
somewhere
along
the
way.
A
Maybe
our
actions
weren't
clear
I'll,
have
Clarity
on
the
mural
stuff
when
we
get
to
that
item,
I
know
where,
where
the
delay
was
and
what
the
delay
has
been
so
I'll
I'll
speak
to
what
I
remember
on
that
item.
That's
what
I
wanted
to
share
with
the
board.
I!
Don't
know
if
you
all
have
any
questions
on
background
on
any
of
this.
H
But
the
frustration
of
trying
to
figure
out
who's
in
charge
who's
on
first
right.
It's
almost
the
who's
on
first
bit
is
who's
tending
to
downtown
right.
It's
our
Central
business
district,
it's
our
historic
center,
it's
the
it's
the
gateway
to
the
United
States
right.
We
have
much
traffic
coming
through
our
downtown
that
who's
in
charge
of
it,
who's
in
charge
of
cutting
that
tree
down.
H
That
has
been
dead
for
years,
who's
in
charge
of
identifying
that
people
cannot
walk
down
a
sidewalk,
because
there
is
a
tree
right
in
the
middle
of
a
very
small
sidewalk
who's
in
charge
of
that
the
people
that
are
pulling
pushing
their
babies
and
pulling
their
suitcases.
Those
are
not
the
people
that
are
in
charge
of
that.
So
is
it
par
I've
been
asking
this
question
since
2017.,
who
is
in
charge
and
and
do
they
know
if
that
they're
in
charge?
And
the
answer
clearly
is
that
nobody's
in
charge?
H
And
everybody
knows
that
somebody
else
is
doing
something
or
not,
so
that
that
missing
component
is
it's?
It's
a
vacuum.
It's
vacuous
and
it's
and
it's
glaring,
because
is
it
Community
Development?
Is
it
Parks
and
Rec?
Is
it
utilities
it
who
addresses
that
that
missing
and
I'm
not
saying
it's
all
the
city
right,
because
we
have
those
other
the
leaders
right,
but
for
clarity
we
have
those
other
administrators,
I
guess
I
should
say
for
clarity
using
your
word.
H
The
same
thing
will
happen
once
we
build
these
2.5
million
once
we
spend
these
monies
on
improvements
nobody's
in
charge
and
that
in
other
cities
around
not
the
nation
around
the
world,
the
business
district
is
is
in
charge
of
of
maintaining
that
and
our
lack
of
a
business.
We
have
a
business
district,
but
it's
not
well.
It's
it's
trying
to
work,
but
it's
not.
D
H
And
so
the
last
meeting
I
did
ask
and
I'm
not
sure
if
we
could
recommend
something
or
I
think
we
have
had
the
the
representative
of
the
business
district
here
before
not
today,
but
maybe
put
that
on
the
agenda
and
include
some
of
the
for
clarity,
some
of
the
other
administrators
for
this
area
and
figure
out
who?
What
where
when
and
maybe
we
could
encourage
them
to
get
their
business
district
up
and
running,
funded
and
and
staffed.
So
that
these
questions
will
be
easier
to
answer
and.
A
And
it
is
I,
went
back
before
the
meeting
and
reread
the
project
plan
so
and
then
the
the
chapter
311.
So
it's
an
eligible
expenditure
to
help
maintain
what
you
just
build,
but
it's
obviously
we're
not
gonna.
That's
the
clarity
that
I'm
looking
for
we're
not
going
to
do
it
we're
board
members.
There
needs
to
be
a
third
party
or
the
city
that
accepts
that
responsibility.
A
The
project
development
agreement,
which
is
mentioned
on
the
agenda
now
I'm
going
to
put
that
up
on
the
on
the
screen
too,
gives
the
city
that
responsibility
by
virtue
of
the
relationship
between
the
city
and
the
Terps,
but
I
do
agree
and
I
make
this
suggestion
before.
If
we
need
to
be
I,
guess,
provide
more
leadership
with
it
is
to
assemble
those
parties
and
host
a
round
table
to
start
building
some
sort
of
a
prototype
for
what
this
District
could
look
like,
and
then
you
begin
to
have
conversations
about.
A
How
do
you,
how
do
you
fund
it
and
who's
going
to
fund
it
and
who's
going
to
lead?
It
I
think
the
people
with
capacity
should
lead
it.
The
Turks
doesn't
have
obviously
such
an
administrative
capacity.
That's
not
the
role
of
it's
an
I
see
it
of
this
curse,
but
you
have
it
in
mainstream.
You
have,
you
may
have
it
in
other
groups
and
that
have
the
interest
to
carry
that
out.
I
think
if,
if
we
can
be
the
vehicle
that
brings
up
the
convener
that
brings
those
folks
together.
A
Let's
do
that
and
move
it
ahead
and
get
ahead
of
our
projects
being
completed
so
that
we're
ready
when
things
are
done.
So
that's
that's
another
item
we
can
put
together
in
the
manner
that
Miss
Dr
Eva
has
said
you
know
forming.
A
subcommittee
is
taking
that,
bringing
it
back
to
the
board
and
then
the
sport
acting
on
the
recommendations
that
are
made
by
by
the
those
folks
I
think
that
would
work.
H
If
this
board
could
invite
some
of
the
stakeholders
to
a
meeting
I,
don't
know
you
know
I.
The
last
meeting
was
well
attended,
but
that's
just
certain
board
members
reaching
out
and
texting
and
and
whatnot,
but
maybe
maybe
for
our
next
meeting.
We
could
actually
I,
don't
I,
know
people
I
read
the
newspaper,
but
I
know
everyone
doesn't
I,
don't
know
how
to
advertise.
That
I
mean
this
is
on
the
website.
H
But
when
I
learned
that
the
that
there
was
a
town
hall
meeting
in
the
dis,
whatever
District,
six
or
something
today,
I
read
the
paper
every
day
and
I
didn't
know
that
was
happening
so
right,
certainly
people
that
aren't
connected
to
this
and
clearly
you
know
two
of
our
board.
Members
are
at
that
meeting.
So
that's
a
disconnect
right.
D
A
A
H
A
I
think
that's
that's
our
meaning.
We
can
be
the
convener
and
and
create
that
I
know.
If
that
business
group
is
meeting
I'm,
sure
they're
probably
going
to
be
ready
to
bring
folks
together.
We're
still
under
this,
not
no
action
item.
So
is
there
any
other
any
anything
else?
If
the
board
wants
to
talk
about
the.
J
A
A
The
regs
on
that
particular
program,
video
I'll
share
with
you,
the
I
think
it's
still,
they
still
they're
still
out
before
it's
due
so
I,
don't
think
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it
got
done
because
I
know
their
deadline
was
good
yeah.
They
actually
prepared
a
draft
of
it
and
you
know
made
it
easy
for
for
me
to
that's.
Not
that's
a
sign
the
other
topic
and
it's
not
on
the
agenda,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
it
on
this.
A
A
A
A
K
Mean
I
think
Rick
Solis
with
evil
city
I
think
we're
pretty
much
ready.
I
mean
we
at
least
for
that
one
block,
because
I
think
we've
studied
that
one
pretty
well,
you
know
it'll
increase
the
parking
capacity
and
and
actually
I've.
You
know
we
have
a
little
presentation.
I
know
we
talked
about
this
administrative
component
and
so
Viviana
and
I
met,
and
we
sort
of
have
a
list
of
things
that
we
want
to
kind
of
bring
basically
bring
back
to
the
board.
To
say
these
are
the
things
we've
been
talking
about.
K
I
Edward
Ochoa,
with
KCI
yeah
I
mean
we
keep
we'd,
be
happy
to
present
that
if
you
all
want
and
kind
of
on
the
topic
of
meeting
with
the
department
heads
we've
got
something
scheduled
here
this
week
and
so
I
as
as
early
as
this
week.
I
can
just
mention
it
to
the
traffic
director.
I.
Think
the
let's
call
it
a
schematic
layout
or
the
layout
that
we
did
I
think
is
adequate
direction
for
the
traffic
director
I.
I
A
I
I
A
I
J
I
K
D
H
C
C
I
A
K
K
E
I
A
I
K
A
A
I
Ahead
and
release
information
we
so
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
take
a
copy
of
that
exhibit
to
a
meeting
that
we
plan
to
attend
this
Thursday
afternoon
with
it's
a
regular
meeting
with
City
Departments
of
all
the
city
departments,
so
I've
gotten
I
visited
with
them
and
they
said
we
can
present
our
tours
project
at
that
meeting.
So,
during
that
meeting,
I
can
just
take
the
exhibit
and
hand
it
to
the
traffic.
A
A
We
we
did
in
fact
take
some
action
at
least
more
than
a
year
and
a
half
ago
to
act
to
put
out
these
mural
contests
that
changed
sometime
last
year.
I,
don't
remember
the
month
that
it
changed.
It
may
have
been
after
our
budget,
so
so
we
fifty
thousand
dollars
was
It
was
supposed
to
be
dedicated
to
murals,
and
when
we
came
back
with
the
budget,
you
all
remember
in
that
presentation
we
we
did
35..
A
The
the
amount
to
me
is
is
not
consequential.
I
think
it
can
be
50.
If
that's
what
this
board
wants
to
do,
but
we
stalled
it
with
the
idea
that
we
would
go
to
an
Arts
Courtney
with
an
Arts
commission
that
was
being
formed
and
that
obviously
maybe
hasn't
taken
off
I,
don't
know
the
full
background
on
it.
Yeah.
A
To
me,
I'd
like
to
go
back
to
the
plan
of
us
running
our
own
Arts
mural
program
to
get
this
up
and
going
and
doing
it
in
partnership
with
Laredo
Main
Street,
using
their
admin
power
and
their
Outreach
power
to
to
execute
this
mural
program.
It's
probably
three,
maybe
four
murals
I,
don't
know
the
exact
cost.
I!
Don't
have
that
background
in
the
art,
World
myself
so
but
it's
up
to
the
sport.
If
you
want
to
continue
to
try
to
coordinate,
we
will
probably
take
more
time
in
executing.
A
F
K
F
Let
me
ask
you
to
if
you
would
please
talk
to
the
councilwoman
concerning
the
idea
of
of
us
running
our
own
mural
program
and
not
the
Arts
Commission.
The
Arts
commission
has
a
an
Arts
plan
for
the
city,
including
downtown.
It's
part
of
it.
They've
had
issues
but
they're
trying
to
resolve
their
their
funding
was
taken
away
ours.
It's
not
funding
that
we're
asking
from
the
two
percent
for
the
Arts
we're
providing
the
funding
they're,
providing
their
knowledge
on.
F
H
H
I,
don't
think
I
think
it
could
be
expedited.
You
know,
because
that
board
I
mean,
if
we
hand
them
a
project
and
say
get
this
done.
You
know
with
identified
sites
and
maybe
to
of
course,
I
think
we
should
approve
what
the
I'm
hoping
that
this
is
just
a
personal
opinion.
I
guess
all
opinions
person
that
we
could
see
something
just
fun
and
not
historical
right,
some
some
fun.
You
know
a
flower.
Let
me
burn
something
so.
D
F
Know
the
the
how
it
needs
to
be
more,
not
just
historically
oriented
or
just
you
know
what
we've
seen
so
far
downtown
but
I
think
they
they.
The
reason
that
they
have
you
know
maybe
altered
is
because
the
the
monies
were
allocated
differently
and
they're,
trying
to
fix
that,
and
but
in
our
case
or
in
the
tourism
case,
we're
not
we're
not
asking
them
to
put
money
in
we're.
We're
asking
to
do
is
for
them
to
give
us
a
structure
as
to
how
to
how
to
go
for
the
artist
and.
H
A
A
H
F
I
think
it
could
I
I
think
that
I
think
that
we
should
give
the
Arts
commission
the
the
chance
to
at
least
respond
and
say
hey.
We
can't
do
it
or
we
all
do
it
or
put
I,
don't
think!
That's
what's
gonna
happen,
I
think
I.
Think
they're
committed
members
on
there
I
think
the
issues
that
they've
had
are
not
something
that
that
they're,
that
they've
done
for
themselves
done
on
their
own,
but
I
would
I
would
give
him
the
chance.
And
if
you
allow
us,
we
can
reach
out
to
them.
F
J
D
G
K
K
E
A
A
F
A
Moving-
and
you
know
we
we
can
come
back
I
would
make
a
motion
that
we
continue
to
try
to
work
with
with
the
Arts
Commission
and
to
try
to
do
you
know,
implement
the
project
within
60
days.
If
not,
we
come
back
and
take
a
different
action.
Is
there
a
second
hey?
Second
number
Mr
Martinez
seconds
any
additional
discussion.
A
Right,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
against
non-motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much
item.
Eight
update
presentation
and
discussion
of
possible
action
related
to
the
church
number
one
ongoing
Improvement
design
working
elements,
as
maybe
required
or
requested.
This
is
a
standing
update
item
that
we
give
our
Consultants.
I
Okay,
thank
you
Admiral
troll,
with
KCI
again,
so
we
went
ahead
and
submitted
what
we're
calling
our
60
plan
set.
We
submitted
that
on
March
31st
about
a
week
and
a
half
ago.
We
went
ahead
and
submitted
it
to
the
city.
Department
Mr
submitted
it
to
engineering
department,
Mr
Chavez,
and
then
he
asked
to
submit
it
to
a
couple
of
the
Departments.
So
that's
what
you
see
here
on
the
screen.
This
is
kind
of
what
we've
put
together.
I.
I
Is
this
different?
No
sir?
No
this!
This
is
yeah
I
guess
the
last
meeting
was
before
the
the
16
submittal.
So
what
you
see
here
was
our
60,
submittal
and
I
mean
I
can
go
through
it
here,
a
few
sheets,
that's
our
work
and
cover
cover
sheet
for
now.
Second
sheet.
Here
is
our
general
notes,
sheet
and
kind
of
a
city
block
Legend,
and
it
shows
the
two
blocks
on
Saturday
we've
always
kind
of
said.
I
H
I
Ma'am,
the
scope
was
nine
blocks,
so
we've
just
numbered
them
in
that
in
that
format,
and
so,
as
you
see,
the
sheets
would
say,
block
one
block,
two
block
three
block
four.
So
on
they'll,
be
in
that
that
format
and
I'll
be
happy
to.
Let
me
kind
of
give
a
summary
of
kind
of
the
order
of
the
sheets
and
then
I
can
always
come
back
to
that.
But
you'll
see
here.
The
first
sheet
here
is
existing
conditions
on
block
one.
I
I
I
And
so
then
you'll
have
an
existing
demo,
the
proposed
site
plan
and
then
there'll
be
a
grading
plan.
We're
finalizing
the
grading
plans
on
those,
so
you'll
have
existing
demo
and
site
plan
grading
plan
and,
as
we
add,
a
couple
of
the
additional
sheets,
they'll
just
kind
of
be
put
in
there,
but
as
you
see
there,
there'll
be
the
sheets
for
Block
one,
the
sheets
for
Block,
two,
the
Sheets
Were
block
three,
the
sheets
are
block,
four,
the
sheets
are
block
five
and
so
on.
I
So
that's
kind
of
the
organization
of
the
plan
set
that
we're
using
and
I'll
scroll
kind
of
down
a
little
towards
the
bottom.
We've
already
started
working
on
some
of
our
detail
sheets.
We've
got
a
storm
water
pollution
prevention
plan
sheet.
Here
that
we're
addressing
really
the
main
thing.
There
is
as
we
demolish
and
you
know,
tear
up
things
on
different
blocks.
Not
all
blocks
have
Curb
inlets
on
the
exact
block
that
we're
working
on,
but
there's
curb
units
and
we're
looking
at
storm
water
pollution
prevention
on
those
blocks.
I
I
D
I
I
I
This
is
block
number
two,
so
block
number
two
would
be
Flawless
to
Convent
fancy.
So
on
the
floor,
is
the
convent
block.
What
we
had
talked
about
was
cleaning
up
this
intersection,
there's
brick
and
concrete
in
different
shapes,
but
we're
tearing
out
that
intersection
to
clean
that
up.
We
had
also
talked
about
some
xeroscaping
and
adding
trees
and
then
tree
tree
wells
around
that.
So
you
see
here,
we've
got
the
additional
trees
that
we're
looking
at
adding.
This
is
the
where
you
would
walk
in
from
the
bridge
number
one
pedestrian
area.
I
I
I
I
So,
with
these
trees,
what
we
talked
about
doing
was
just
disrupting
a
tree
well
around
that
we've
got
different
ideas
that
we're
working
with
the
design
team
on
to
address
the
tree
well
situation,
but
we're
going
to
put
in
tree
Wells
there
and
there
and
then
we'd,
be
adding.
We've
got
four
trees
to
be
added
with
tree
wells
around
those.
Also
that's
on
block
number
two.
H
I
The
midst
the
mismatched
brick,
is
at
the
intersection
of
convent
and
Saragosa,
pretty
much
on
the
east
side
of
the
intersection.
So
that's
what
you
see
with
this
shading
here
we're
proposing
to
demolish
that
area,
which
is
mainly
the
area
that
has
brick.
It's
got
concrete
kind
of
at
a
radials
concrete
section
in
there,
and
so
we
talked
about
what
we're
showing
here
is
that
to
be
demolished
and
then
replaced
with
concrete,
so
it'll
be
uniform,
concrete
through.
I
I
What
we're
what
we're
missing
to
show
here
is
we
want
to
do
a
final
field
visit
on
this
particular
block
to
determine
the
exact
locations.
We
talked
about
some
areas
where
the
brick
is
kind
of
sunken
in
or
kind
of
been
raised
up,
and
so
we
just
need
to
do
a
final
walk
through
to
determine
those
areas
and
then
we're
just
going
to
denote
those
bricks,
we're
going
to
denote
those
to
be
just
removed,
upgraded
leveled
and
replaced
with
the
same
brick.
H
I
I
We
were
when
we
were
looking
over
at
this
intersection.
This
is
the
intersection
of
saragosan
Flores
at
the
intersection
of
saragosan
Flores.
We
do
know
here,
there's
a
street
light
right
here
at
this
location.
That's
mounted
on
a
pole.
What
we
also
noticed
here
was
there
was
a
floodlight
at
this
corner,
pointing
in
this
direction.
There
was
a
floodlight
on
this
pole
pointing
in
this
direction.
F
A
I
H
D
I
The
the
direction
we
were
getting
on
this
particular
block
was
just
to
kind
of
clean
up.
This
intersection
add
trees,
and
certainly
the
block
and
the
bricks
that
are
on
the
street
are
ready
or
walkable,
and
so
the
direction
we
were
given
was
to
kind
of
keep
that
walkable
to
keep
the
bricks.
There
do
a
little
bit
less
improvements
in
the
way
of
sidewalks
per
se
right,
because
this
street
is
closed
off
and
walkable.
I
H
Your
job,
but
is
there
any
way
that
you
could
explain
so
that
I
have
an
understanding
and
that
I
speak
to
stakeholders
and
they
ask
me
questions
and
I.
Don't
know
the
answers
and
I'm
literally
sitting
here
every
month
and
I
don't
have
the
answers:
what
I'm,
okay,
clean
up
and
some
trees
and
whatnot?
I
Starting
from
San
Agustin
to
Flores
was
to
widen
the
sidewalks
and
kind
of
wide,
the
sidewalks
and
kind
of
bring
some
increased
walkability
on
the
sides
and
bring
the
Curves
in
and
then
kind
of
address
the
parking
on
those.
So
that's
what's
been
done
on
this
particular
Street,
similar
to
what
was
done
in
Block,
one
of
Zaragoza
right
so.
H
A
I
A
I
San
Agustin
was
kind
of
similar
to
block
two
Sonic
hostine
blocks
three
and
floor
four,
even
though
they're
drivable
now
you
know
they
get
closed
off
in
the
evenings
and
they
become
kind
of
walkable
on
all
sides.
So
we're
addressing
blocks
three
and
four,
which
are
the
two
blocks
of
Sonic,
was
steam
to
be
and
a
walkable
on
all
sides.
I
I
I
I
I
It's
five
feet
in
this
location
and
then
this
sidewalk
on
this
side
goes
from
about
nine
feet,
to
eight
and
a
half
feet,
and
then
to
about
six
and
a
half
six
and
a
quarter
feet
over
here
and
then
continues
over
to
eight
feet,
and
the
variances
of
the
sidewalk
have
to
do,
of
course,
with
lining
up
the
curved
lines
to
essentially
the
property
line
or
fence
lines.
There.
H
I'm
showing
you
here,
we've
decided
as
a
board
and
we've
given
you.
That
directive
is
to
do
both
sides
of
the
block
between
Santa,
Ursula
and
San
Bernardo,
which,
on
the
North
End,
is
I,
believe
two
parking
lots
and
a
abandoned
house,
and
instead
of
doing
and
zero
walking
traffic
instead
of
doing
the
both
sides
of
Zaragoza,
which
of
course
is
full
of
pedestrians,
and
it
also
connects
La
Posada.
D
I
I
I
If
you
right
now,
what
we're
proposing
was,
you
know
the
improvements,
the
Dual
level
on
the
North
side
and
sidewalk
improvements
in
the
seating
area
and
so
on,
but
in
as
we
were
visiting
this
area,
the
actual
Street
of
Saragosa
between
Convent
and
Salinas
is
pretty
beat
up.
It
looks
like
it
almost
looks
like
asphalt,
but
it's
it
seems
to
be
concrete
because
there's
sections
that
are
separating
and
cracking
right.
I
You
know
we.
We
talked
about
more,
you
know
Direction
on
pedestrian
walkability
and
not
really
looking
at
redoing
the
entire
Street
itself,
but
this
street
might
need
to
be
considered
to
redo
the
whole
street.
I
think
you
know
that's
it's
certainly
going
to
add
a
completely
different
ticket
item
to
that
entire
block
altogether.
I
I
We
had
been
meeting
we've
been
meeting
with
AEP
a
couple
of
times
for
the
last
few
weeks,
our
last
meeting
with
AEP
in
the
field
we
walked
through
mainly
these
two
first
blocks
of
Santa
Rosa
and
AEP,
is
going
to
work
on
a
cost
estimate
for
us
to
go
ahead
and
clean
up,
as
we've
talked
about
kind
of
clean
up.
Some
of
these
utilities,
and
one
of
the
directions
that
we
asked
AEP
to
do
was
to
provide
us
with
a
cost
to
change
out
the
wooden
poles
to
Steel
poles.
I
So
we
asked
them
as
they
work
on
their
costs
for
us,
as
requested
that
you
all
had
requested,
where
they're
going
to
look
at
putting
in
some
steel
pulls
also,
and
then
we
talked
about
we
mentioned
at
the
meeting.
Viviana
had
mentioned
at
the
meeting
the
walkthrough
we
had
with
them
trying
to
see
if
AEP
could
provide
us
with
some
kind
of
a
service
agreement
so
that
maybe
their
utility
polls
in
the
downtown
area
can
be
decorated
with
flags
or
something
kind
of
like
what
they
do.
On
Del,
Mar
and
McPherson.
I
You
know
or
giacoman.
You
see
how
they
string
banners
across
and
we
understand
there
might
be
a
service
agreement
or
some
kind
of
an
agreement
with
AEP,
and
so
we've
asked
them
to
see
if
they
can
provide
that
for
us
to
see,
as
as
we
move
forward
with
these
blocks
in
downtown.
If
that
can
be
done
in
those
areas.
Also,.
D
A
I
She
had
mentioned
to
us
at
the
conclusion
of
our
meeting
that
maybe
she
would
make
some
phone
calls
and
see
if
she
could
schedule
those
meetings
for
us.
I
will
bring
it
up
at
our
Thursday
meeting
that
you
know
we'd
like
to
see
if
we
can
schedule
a
follow-up
meeting
with
the
Departments
to
speak.
More
specifically
about
you,
know
this
project
and
get
any
final
comments
from
anybody
on
their
end.
I
I
Yeah
the
the
discussion
of
the
utility,
so
you
had
mentioned
earlier
about
utilities,
so
what
we
are
showing
right
now
until
we
get
can
get
maybe
some
further
direction
from
the
utilities
department
about
replacing
lines
if
any
need
to
be
replaced.
But
what
we
are
noting
on
our
plans
is,
you
know
if
there's
a
water
meter
in
a
certain
location
and
we're
going
to
remove
the
sidewalk
and
put
new
sidewalk,
that
water
meter
will
just
be
adjusted
to
the
new
elevation
right
there.
A
A
All
right
thanks
a
lot
for
that.
The
next
item
item
nine
was
actually
to
try
to
set
up
something
firm
for
this
meeting
with
the
Department
looks,
looks
like
that
settled
so
I,
don't
I
wouldn't
entertain
any
action
on
that.
The
next
item
10
discussion,
if
possible,
action,
is
missing
a
word
to
amend
the
project
development
agreement
between
the
City
of
Laredo
and
the
first
number
one
to
include
the
additional
one
million
dollars
Project
funding
recently
awarded
by
the
mpo
under
the
TxDOT
Transportation
alternative
set-aside
program.
A
A
We
don't
have
to
do
it
right
now,
but
I
think
we
do
need
to
do
it
if
we're
anticipating
we're
going
to
expend
monies
so
that
that
kind
of
calls
out
the
the
2000.
The
2
million
five
2.5
million.
So
if
we're
going
to
add
another
million,
we
would
need
to
amend
this
this
agreement.
This
agreement
is
basically
the
project
development
agreement
between
the
terse
and
this
and
the
city,
and
it
kind
of
spells
out
responsibilities.
A
So
I
want
the
board
to
to
take
action.
Consider
taking
action
today
to
begin
amending
this
this
agreement,
we
will
need
to
prepare
a
list
of
projects.
I,
don't
think
we're
ready
to
do
that.
The
the
team
has
not
been
engaged
on
the
Salinas
intersection
improvements,
but
I
think
we'll
we'll
be
able
to
do.
A
The
good
news
that
I
was
going
to
share
is
not
completely
firm
and
official,
but
the
the
match
that
we
pledged
the
two,
the
250
000,
that
we
pledged
I
was
informed
by
the
MPL
director
that
it
appears
the
county
is
now
a
disadvantaged
economic
disadvantage,
County
as
a
classification
and
that
allows
TxDOT
to
fund
part
of
the
of
the
match,
leaving
us
hope.
I
get
this
number
right,
5.8
percent
match,
as
opposed
to
a
20
match,
so
that
reduces
our
contribution.
I,
don't
know
if
you've
seen
that
before
I've.
G
A
A
The
1.25
is
okay,
gotcha,
so
you'll
see
it
when
the
agreement
comes
back
to
us,
because
it'll
it'll
be
if
it
is
in
fact
going
to
be
happening.
You
you'll
see
it
back
on
the
agreement
with
TxDOT
saying
at
that
point
we
would
be
official,
but
I
wanted
to
give
you
I
think
that's
definitely
good
I
mean
we
were
prepared
to
keep
our
pledge,
but
5.8
percent
is
definitely
better
than
20
off
Match.
A
E
A
That
we
have
to
engage
our
Consultants
as
well
on
this
I
think
that
that'll
come
next
meeting
with
them,
bringing
their
work
authorization
proposals
for
this
board.
So
if
you
all
can
work
on
that,
I
know
you've
already
done
some
conceptual,
but
if
you
all
could
bring
both
KCI
and
able
City
bring
that
back.
A
H
Starting
with
a
sign
telling
people,
if
they
turn
there,
they
are
in
no
man's
land,
so
I
watched
a
car
last
weekend
turned
there
didn't
know
where
there
we
had
the
choice
to
go
to
Mexico
or
well
I.
Think
it's!
The
only
choice
is
the
parking
lot
and
then
or
run
over
people,
and
so
he
just
floored
it.
He
was
upset
and
backed
up
all
up
that
hill.
A
Yeah,
that's
the
thing,
the
way
finding
it's
off
topic,
but
the
way
finding
also
stalled
right.
So
it
got
presented
to
city
council
with
a
different
council
member
and
and
I
I
know
the
director
for
CBB
couldn't
get
that
converted
into
an
action
item,
but
I
know
we've
done
our
part
in
it
and
we're
ready.
So
we
need
to
bring
that
back
and
and
visit
with
with
Miss
Ramos
to
see,
if
she's
ready
to
take
it
to
the
city
council,
again,
I
think
the
presentation
could
have
been
different
surpassed.
A
So
what
didn't
pass
was
this
the
approval
to
for
a
city
funding
to
be
the
shared
cost
that
CBB
was
going
to
put
in
into
the
way
finding,
but
I
think
we
can
bring
it
back.
I
think
it
was
just
at
the
end
of
a
meeting.
It
was
being
rushed
I
think
we
can
present
it
again.
I
think
it
would
pass
if
if
the
presentation
was
slowed
down,
I
don't
know
if
you
all
agree,
but
that's
off
topic
of
the
agenda
item.
J
A
A
A
K
With
regards
to
the
administrative
component
that
we
talked
about
this
conversation
that
we
had
and
what
was
brought
up
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
I
guess
for
the
next
meeting,
we'll
bring
back
sort
of
action
items,
I
guess
for
lack
of
a
better
term.
You
know,
I
have
a
few
that
we
talked
about.
K
K
K
You
know
we
talked
about
the
mpo
having
a
design
committee
meeting
again
a
planning
meeting
for
the
facade,
Improvement
Grants
the
website,
you
know
I
know
we
sent
the
website
out
to
everyone
they're
trying
to
get
feedback,
we'll
probably
bring
that
back.
Send
that
out
again
to
see.
If
that's,
we
can
keep
pushing
that
a
little
bit.
We
already
talked
about
the
parking
around
the
plaza
we'll
be
working
on
that
next
month,
and
then
you
know
with
the
murals.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
We're
going
to
move
on
to
item
11
discussion,
possible
action
to
activate
the
turfs
project,
implementation
subcommittee
to
work
with
an
assistant
consultants
and
the
City
of
Provider
we're
preparing
the
upcoming
competitive
procurement
solicitation.
So
I
put
that
item
on
based
on
the
conversation
I
saw
occurred
at
the
last
meeting
that
some
of
you
wanted
to
be
part
of
of
that.
A
So
in
my
notes,
we
have
a
project,
implementation
committee
and
that's
actually
in
that
development
agreement.
It's
spoken
to
in
there
as
well
Mr,
Mia,
myself
and
Mr
Martinez
I
think
Miss
Alexander
wants
to
would
like
to
be
part
of
that.
You're.
Welcome
to
to
replace
me
in
in
that
in
that
committee.

That,
perhaps,
is
not
the
best
contractor
to
work
on
this
type
of
specialty
project
that
the
the
the
instrument
that
we
use
to
procure
and
the
city
has
a
procurement
responsibility
by
the
way
according
to
the
agreement,
but
that
we
helped
them
craft
an
instrument,
a
competitive
seal
proposal
process
that
gives
us
the
best
contractor
that
that
could
be
selected
right.
So
the
other
thing
that
we
can
that
we
can
actually
pull
things
out
of
it
and
change
things.
Sometimes,
on
a
straight
bit,
you
can't
well.
K
And
I
think
that's
sort
of
to
bring
up
that
point.
The
city,
their
bids
are
set
up
a
certain
way
and
they
do
all
of
them
the
same
way
it's
sort
of
like
a
process,
and
so
we
can
diverge
from
that
process
with
this
competitively
sealed
proposal.
Essentially
what
it
is
it's
a
it's
based
on
the
scoring,
so
there's
a
scoring
sheet
as
part
of
the
bid
documents
and
as
a
committee
you
get
together,
you
score
individually,
so
it's
not
just
price.
It's
also
experience
and
other
items
well,.
A
A
Don't
know
it
would
it
would
it
would
mean
that
all
the
meetings
would
have
to
be
posted,
which
is
like
probably
in
public
and
everything
else,
so
the
Committees
are
set
up
so
that
you
have
a
non-core
room
number.
It's
okay,
I,
don't
need
to
be
in
all
the
all
the
Committees
so
and
I
think
it'll
be
useful.
I.
Think
committee
is
very
useful.
This
type
of
subcommittee
so
but
I
also
think
like
someone
from
the
city
should
be
on
it.
Although.
D
D
A
When
we
developed
the
project
development
agreement
too,
with
the
city
we
had
that
subcommittee
as
well,
it's
been
a
while,
but
I
do
agree
that
it
needs
to
be.
We
should
not
rush
into
it
in
May
when
the
drawings
are
done
or
done
at
the
end
of
May
and
then
we're
handing
it
over
just
to
the
city,
Department
I.
Think,
if
we're
interested,
we
should.
We
should
be
involved
early.
