Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No 1 Board of Directors Meeting 080922
A
A
You
very
much
thanks,
sir
everybody,
that's
here
and
and
wait
it.
We
appreciate
you
all.
Thank
you
for
that,
and
and
thank
you
for
for
coming
into
the
meeting
and
everyone
that's
here
from
the
board
all
right
with
that.
We'll
move
on
to
item
three
minutes:
approval
of
minutes
for
july
12..
Those
are
in
in
your
in
your
pockets
when
you're
ready,
I'll
entertain
a
motion
on
the
item.
D
A
D
D
A
A
A
We
will
go
an
additional
10
minutes
from
the
time
or
15
minutes
from
the
time
we
started
and
can
be
found.
The
cards
can
be
found
over
here
at
the
on.
The
counter
comments
are
limited
to
three
minutes
per
speaker.
No
more
than
three
persons
will
be
allowed
to
speak
on
any
side
of
an
issue.
Speakers
may
not
pass
their
minutes
to
any
other
speaker.
Comments
should
be
relevant
to
the
city
business
and
delivered
in
a
professional
manner.
F
F
Currently,
there's
a
lot
of
run-down
old
buildings
are
not
being
kept
up
and
I
would
like
to
see
just
them
boarded
up
and
temporary
murals
in
front
of
them.
So
at
least
it
gets
more
traffic
down
here
for
people
that
want
to
come
down.
And
what
do
you
call
it
take
pictures
and
stuff
like
that,
because
I
do
see
a
lot
of
people
coming
down
to
take
pictures
in
front
of
old
buildings
and
stuff
like
that.
So
that
would
be
great
to
see
as
well
and.
F
G
F
F
Me
and
my
husband
own
a
build
building.
We
own
a
restaurant,
downtown
called
kaito
thai
we're
currently
working
out
of
a
food
truck
at
kotura
beer
garden
and
we're
trying
to.
We
are
going
to
open
up
a
brick
and
mortar
in
the
hamilton
right
where
rochelle's
used
to
be
so.
If
you
all
get
hungry
for
thai
food.
A
Great
well,
thank
you
for
for
coming
downtown.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
I'd
like
to
invite
you
to
when
we
have
committee
meetings
we'll
make
those,
maybe
even
more
public,
so
yeah
you
guys
can
that
have
that
energy
to
be
involved.
You
know,
can
can
join
us
in
that
work.
Yes,
if
you're
open
to
that,
you
can
make
time
for
that
and
we
will
have
at
some
point.
We
will
have
a
phase.
A
Two
of
you
know
we're
gonna
hear
today
about
phase
one
okay,
the
turf
there'll
be
a
phase
two,
so
we
do
have
some
mural
money
set
aside.
There
probably
will
be
more.
You
know
once
we
get
down
the
road
with
future
projects,
so
I
think
you
hit
all
the
things
that
I
would
want
to
see
as
well.
So
appreciate
you
know
your
your
perspective.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
A
H
Appealing
to
get
into
for
a
small
business
that
don't
necessarily
offer
the
parking
that
a
a
larger
building
downtown
may
offer
and
and
then
basically
shutting
down
the
businesses
ability
to
open
in
that
space.
So
if
you
don't
have
parking,
you
can't
open
if
you
want
a
building
with
parking
they're
way
more
expensive.
H
Obviously,
that's
not
all-inclusive,
but
certain
situations
have
come
up
in
recent
times
other
than
that
some
ideal
situation
elements
would
be
encouraging
more
street
vendors
food
wise
outside
of
just
like
your
typical
food
truck
parks.
I
think
that
would
be
beneficial
to
the
walkability
encouraging
shade
whether
it's
natural
or
artificial.
H
I
recently
bought
a
house,
and
I
understand
how
keeping
trees
alive
is
not
the
easiest
thing
to
do
in
laredo,
texas
or
most
cost-effective,
so
encouraging
things
that
maybe
are
man-made
building
again
off
of
antonio's
idea
of
you
know
some
temporary
mural
work.
Those
things
can
be
constructed
that
have
awnings,
and
things
like
that
that
you
see
in
larger
cities
that
do
have
more
of
a
walkable
downtown.
H
Yeah
other
than
that
the
possibility
of
encouraging
more
out
of
city
farmers,
market
participants,
you
know
the
one.
Obviously
this
is
a
dream
world,
but
the
one
at
the
pearl
in
san
antonio
is
a
fantastic
opportunity
for
people
from
all
over.
Those
are
not
just
local
to
san
antonio
vendors,
and
I
think
that
there
should
be
some
form
of
further
outreach
to
bring
in
other
other
vendors
from
out
of
the
city
and
get
them
an
opportunity
to
showcase
their
products
right
here
on
the
border.
H
G
H
What
based
on
square
footage-
and
that
varies
obviously
zone
to
zone
as
as
well
as
like
property
to
property,
but
the
current
situation
that
we're
in
is
because
it
was
once
a
residence
that
was
then
turned
into
an
rho
hr
hro.
Yes,
you
think
I
would
have
known
this
by
now,
hro
and
because
of
the
nature
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
to
my
knowledge,
the
fact
that
the
ordinances
in
laredo
don't
specifically
address
the
type
of
business
that
we're
in
which
would
be
a
coffee
shop.
H
You
have
restaurants
that
are
in
there.
You
have
bars
that
are
in
there
and
we
fall
somewhere
in
a
gray
area
and
because
of
that,
there's
a
lot
of
new
ground
that
needs
to
be
covered,
but
the
current
as
it
stands.
I
would
say
that
the
new
ground
that
is
being
covered
shouldn't
be
done
at
the
cost
of
allowing
someone
to
come
in
with
investment
and
an
idea,
and
it
should
be
handled.
Maybe
on
the
back
end,
you
know
you
allow
some
sort
of
a
grace
period.
H
For
lack
of
a
better
phrase,
I
have
attended
a
lot
of
meetings
regarding
the
parking
situation
that
we're
currently
on
the
other
side
of,
at
least
for
now,
until
we're
working
on
some
other
things,
but
but
the
I
don't
know
if
that
was
ever
directly
brought
up.
But
I
I'd
for
sure.
I
take
very
bad
notes.
E
I
do
know
that
mr
ernster
has
been
been
to
our
office.
I
think
we're
going
to
employ
him
now
since
he's
been
there
that
not
that
many
times
but
city
council
just
recently
voted
on
to
address
the
hro
parking
situation,
so
that's
gonna
be
going
to
the
historic
board
pnz
and
then
back
to
council
to
remove
the
parking
restrictions
or
the
the
parking
from
hro.
So
that's
coming
very
soon.
In
fact,
the
last
city
council
meeting
it
was
voted
on
so
because
of
your
efforts.
E
A
I
Good
afternoon
board
members
and
staff,
edward
ochoa
with
kci,
and
it's
the
first
time
I've
been
here
to
present
so
just
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
everybody
for
the
opportunity
and
look
forward
to
working
with
the
team
on
on
the
downtown
sidewalk
project.
So
I
do
have
an
update
here.
Let
me
go
ahead
and
pass
out
what
we've
got.
I
I
Probably,
I
would
call
it
maybe
95
of
the
survey
field.
Work
we've
been
out
to
the
field
and
we've
tied
all
of
the
blocks
and
all
the
visible
improvements
that
you
see.
We've
been
out
back
out
to
the
field
again
just
to
verify.
Certainly
you
all
are
aware
that
there's
quite
a
bit
of
detail
in
these
downtown
streets,
utilities,
sidewalks
elevation
differences
and
all
that
stuff.
I
So
this
is
just
kind
of
an
update
of
our
efforts
so
far
so
kind
of
what
you
see
here
on
the
screen
is
you
know
it
street
and
you'll
see
in
there
the
water
lines,
sewer
lines,
overhead
electrical
lines
and
we're
still
working
through.
We've
already
submitted
our
project
through
the
utility
coordination
committee
and
have
received
some
feedback
from
them.
We're
missing
some
utilities.
I
I've
got
to
make
some
contact
directly
one-on-one
with
the
utility
company
so
that
we
can
get
some
updated
information
and
that's
just
part
of
the
process
that
we
go
through,
but
we've
already
made
that
initial
contact
with
utility
coordination
and
begun
that
process
getting
it
on
their
radar
screen.
So
they're
aware
that
we've
got
this
project
coming
coming
down
the
down
the
pipeline
and
getting
them
prepared
in
case,
we
need
to
you,
know,
relocate
utilities,
power,
poles
or
adjust
the
manholes,
or
something
like
that.
I
So
you'll,
just
kind
of
see
that
on
the
screen
is
just
kind
of
block
by
block
we've,
just
updated
all
the
information
on
there
and
and
again.
This
is
just
the
existing
survey
work
and
I
understand
where
we've
submitted
our
amendment
to
add
the
civil
engineering
work
phase,
two
design
work,
and
so
this
is
kind
of
the
basis
for
what
we'll
start
with
as
we
get
into
design.
A
I
So
the
the
idea
on
the
idea
there
would
we'd
be
submitting
what
we
call
a
30
or
kind
of
a
schematic
design
phase,
so
that'll
be
kind
of
putting
together
some
plans
for
review
and
comment
and
then
taking
those
comments
going
to
60
and
then
100.
So
we're
anticipating.
You
know
three
submittals,
but
within
that,
of
course,
is
before
we
even
start
design.
I
I
I
know
that's
something
that
was
discussed
before
so
there's
any
you
know
public
meetings
or
public
input
that
that
you
all
want
us
to
participate
in
we've
got
it
accounted
for
to
do
that.
So
you
know
certainly
again
our
company
kci
technologies.
You
know
we're
formerly
civil
engineering
consultants,
we've
been
in
town
a
long
time,
but
our
kci
technologies
group
is
over
1600
employees
all
over
the
country,
and
we've
got
some
experts
that
have
done
stuff
san
antonio
atlanta,
houston,
dallas,
all
sorts
of
stuff.
A
I
I
Well,
I
mean
the
overall
objective:
is:
is
you're
all
subjective,
so
it's
walkability
and
and
making
you
know
these
sections
of
streets,
more
walkable
for
downtown
people
and
and
anything
associated
with
that
beautification
landscaping.
You
know
we
talked
about
the
murals
and
the
monument
signs
and
such
our
job
is
just
to
to
incorporate
all
of
that,
and
certainly
we
know
that
there's
an
architect
team
involved
and
so
taking
their
input
and
everybody
else's
input
to
get
you
the
product
that
you
want
downtown.
So
that's
what
we're
here
for.
I
I
Ma'am
several
blocks
will
certainly
be
challenging
and
we're
aware
of
that-
and
you
know
ada
you
know,
and
dealing
with
ada
issues
is
certainly
something
that
we
all
have
to
deal
with
and
and
helping
you
know
create
that
walkability
for
the
downtown
people.
You
know
we
were.
I
was
certainly
downtown.
I've
been
through
these
blocks
three
or
four
times
already,
and
you
see
people
in
wheelchairs
and
walkers
and,
and
things
like
that,
so
we
need
to
help,
make
it
walkable
for
all
of
them.
I
So
that's
what
we're
here
for-
and
you
know
we're
we're
the
technical
side
of
things
so
we're
we'll
bring
some
ideas
and
we're
open
to
other
ideas,
and
our
job
is
to
make
sure
everything
meets
all
the
technical,
specs
and
design
requirements
that
that
the
state
and
local
and
federal
government
has.
So
that's
what
we're
here
for.
A
Yeah
that
was
that
was
my
question
too.
So
we
may
need
to
go
to
that
early
and
and
develop
some
rendering
so
that
people
can
appreciate
you
know,
and
then,
if
there's
tweaks,
you
know
there
are
areas
that
you
and
I
have
walked
and
others
on
the
team
where
there
isn't
a
driveway
cut.
Yeah
there's
a
parking
lot,
but
yet
the
entrance
is
on
the
other
side,
like
approaching
the
property
owner
to
see
if
that
makes
sense,
for
maybe
it
makes
sense
for
for
the
city
as
well.
A
I
Certainly,
I
think
the
first
step
would
be
once
we
get
engaged
on
our
contract
is
to
go
ahead
and
and
sit
down
with
staff
and
the
board
and
and
maybe
talk
about
some
of
those
points
and
if
there's
specific
property
owners
that
we
need
to
meet
with
and
discuss
with
on
some
of
those
finite
details,
and
let's
get
all
of
that
done
before
schematic
goodness
mia
is
correct.
You
know
once
you
start
getting
into
the
sixty
percent
and
hundred
percent,
it's
gets
to
be
a
little
bit
more
cumbersome
to
go
backwards.
I
A
E
K
I
Also,
the
city
project
that
you're
speaking
of
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong,
is
the
water
and
sewer
improvements.
Yes,
sir,
so
yeah
I
mean,
certainly
that
needs
to
be
coordinated
through
I've
been
meeting
with
mr
chavez
and
we
have
a
meeting
scheduled
for
next
week
with
the
utilities
director
so
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
discuss
the
details.
The
finite,
the
last
final
details
of
what
water
and
sewer
related
and
what
blocks
they
are.
It's
not.
L
E
I
A
I
K
G
K
G
G
I
do
have
a
lot
of
ultimately,
of
course,
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
bury
the
lines
bury
those
aesthetically
displeasing
electrical
lines
or
telephone
lines
or
whatever
they
are,
I'm
not
sure
what
they
are.
I'm
not
sure
if
anybody
knows
what
they
are
but
to
to
clean
them
up,
and
especially
at
saragosa
in
convent,
which
is
the
entrance
right
for
tens
of
thousands
of
people
regularly
and
the
the
aesthetic
displeasure
right
connected
to
that.
G
J
Water
and
sewer
yeah,
so
that's
just
a
lot
of
time.
We
do.
I
mean
the
utility
coordination
we
do
provide.
We
do
tell
them
hey
still
gonna
be
open.
Are
you
gonna
put,
but
it's
a
tnt,
especially
ap.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
somebody,
if
you
wanna
pay
and
that's
they
are
they
don't
wanna,
do
anything
without
getting
paid,
especially.
J
I
Sure
and
we'll
look
at
that
through
coordination,
but
certainly
you
know
wanting
to
take
things
from
overhead
to
underground.
As
mr
mia
stated
it's
you
know,
there's
money
associated
with
that
with
the
utility
companies
we've
been
involved
in
that
on
many
different
projects
over
the
years,
and
so
we'll
look
at
approaching,
or
maybe
coordinating
and
with
the
utility
company.
I
C
Get
to
item
number
six
I
can
add
to
that.
We
have
done
some
housing
projects
and-
and
we
always
get
the
cost
built
into
the
project,
so
at
t
and
time
warner
will
not
do
it
for
free
and
we've
asked
in
different
languages.
I
feel
sometimes
for
different
projects,
but
there's
always
a
dollar
amount
to
it.
So,
yes,
it
can
definitely
be
done
because
we
coordinated
something.
You
know
water
came
in
and
did
their
water
line.
So
then
we
coordinated
so
even
having
it
open.
C
G
There
is
we
are
going
to.
We
are
going
to
have
the
cons,
the
issue
to
make
these
projects
ada
compliant.
There
are
poles
right
in
the
middle
of
very
small
spaces,
so
I
my
att,
might
not
want
to
do
that,
but
I
don't
know
whose
pole
it
is,
but
something
might
have
to
happen
there
to
make
something
ada
compliant,
which
is
why
most
of
downtown
is
not
india
compliant,
which
is,
I
don't
know,
a
choice.
M
Rick's
release
with
able
city
in
terms
of
the
schedule
and
the
way
that
edward
broke
down
his
project.
I
think
we
really
need
to
evaluate
the
that
first
30
percent,
because
I
do
feel
like
that
might
take
a
little
bit
longer
just
in
terms
of
just
in
our
own
conversation
here,
we're
already
identifying
all
of
the
issues
that
we're
going
to
have
to
kind
of
deal
with.
I
think
once
we
get
through
that
first
30,
I
could
see
the
last
part
of
that
contract
going
really
really
fast,
because
we've
made
all
those
decisions.
M
A
D
I
wanted
to
clarify
if
the
public
engagement
process
is
really
kind
of
a
notification
process,
you're
we're
notifying
and
we're
also
showing
them.
What
has
you
know
been
approved
for
for
a
while
for
those
streets.
So
it's
not
it's
more
like
a
notification
like
an
early
on
notification
process
that
takes
them
through
where
they
can
have
some
input.
A
Right
yeah,
I
agree,
I
think
one
thing
that
was
proven
with
what
the
help
that
main
street
did
is
building
in
some
excitement.
So
I
want
to
credit
everybody
that
worked
on
that
along
the
way,
because
I
think
that
would
be
you
know
for
a
property
owner
to
know
that
things
are
going
to
get
better
and
there's
work
being
done
to
make
it
better.
I
think,
building
on
that
at
the
30
level,
wherever
that
belongs
on
the
public
engagement
piece,
we
ought
to
build
upon
that
and
get
people
excited
for
that.
A
If
someone
doesn't
want
a
new
driveway
cut,
I
mean
we,
we
don't
have
it
in
our.
You
know.
We
didn't
think
about
that.
I
thought
about
it
because
I'm
look
there's
a
parking
lot
and
it's
not
being
used
at
night,
but
it's
not
there.
You
know
we
may
come
back
and
say:
well
we
want
it.
Then
we
may
impress
on
the
owner
harder
to
accept
it
right.
A
But
anyway,
I
thought
that
that's
30
and
I'm
glad
to
mention
the
timeline,
because
that
I
think
that
30
will
be
very
important
for
us
to
get
all
our
input
in
and
then
go
to
the
public
with
yes,
a
notification.
But
if
there's
an
improvement
at
the
public-
and
we
agree-
we
should
make
it-
then
we
can
make
it
it
shouldn't,
kill
us
it's
my
opinion.
D
And
this
actually
going
with
this
first
part.
It's
also
has
the
opportunity,
this
notification
process,
slash
engagement
process,
has
the
opportunity
to
really
refine
the
guidelines
that
we're
developing
at
the
same
time
that
we're
doing
these
designs
so
we're
putting
the
guidelines
together
as
we're
doing
the
design,
work
and
hearing
them.
Well,
we
that
can
be
incorporated
into
the
guidelines
which
will
last
you
know
beyond
and.
A
M
We
will
be
we
did.
We
have
worked
on
the
website
a
little
bit
more
over
the
last
month
or
so
we'll
be
sending
out
a
link
to
all
the
board
members,
we've
kind
of
updated
a
few
things,
and
hopefully
that'll
get
get
that
going.
We
also
as
you
as
as
you
saw,
we
did
submit
the
we
did
meet
with
the
committee.
Regarding
the
monument
signs.
M
I
will
say
that
in
that
conversation
and
our
councilwoman
was
there
as
well,
we
decided
not
to
include
the
the
wayfinding
signs.
We
just
thought
it
was
going
to
get
too
confusing
and
cumbersome
for
public
comments.
So
really
it's
just
focusing
on
the
monuments.
So
that's
what
we
did
from
our
last
meeting.
We've
also
worked
on
the
the
construction
documents
for
those
wayfinding
signs.
I
know
when
we
last
spoke.
We
talked
about
maybe
having
going
through
purchasing
to
get
some
of
that
stuff
started.
M
A
M
So
the
website
actually
will
the
way
it's
set
up.
It
takes
you
to
has
the
links
to
all
of
the
current
meetings
like
the
the
actual
youtube
links
yeah
and
then
it
because
not
all
the
youtube
links
are
listed.
It
takes
you
to
the
playlist,
so
all
of
the
meetings
you
all
have
ever
had
are
like
on
a
playlist
that
you
could
go
back
two
years
or
how
long
it's
been
to
see
those
how
exciting
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
K
A
Other
questions
on
this
presentation
on
updates
comments;
okay,
if
not
that
we'll
jump
on
to
the
action
items
item
six
discussion
with
possible
action
to
approve
a
contract.
Amendment
number
one
with
kci
technologies
to
include
the
revised
scope
for
the
development
of
construction
documents
for
approved
projects
and
any
other
matters
incident
32.
So
you
all
received
a
copy
of
the
amendment,
and
this
essentially
is
a
maybe
the
term
is
not
negotiated,
but
it
kind
of
reviewed
proposal
by
primarily
ramon
rick
and
myself,
both
in
a
walk
through
and
then
looking
at.
G
E
I
A
I
G
I
G
G
I
So
I
would
assume
contractually
if
we
bring
something
forward,
let's
say
we're
doing
an
amendment
or
additional
services
if
we
bring
something
forward,
contractually
we'll
bring
it
forward
to
the
city
of
laredo
and
the
city
of
laredo
would
bring
it
to
your
all's
attention.
That's
right
how
I
would
assume
it
now
if
there
needs
to
be
clarification
in
that
wording,
I
don't
believe
we
would
have
any
issues
with
that.
So
I.
G
G
I
So
you
understand
from
our
perspective,
it's
just
contractual
language.
You
know
city
laredo,
being
the
client,
because
we
understood
kind
of
how
we
did
the
first
one.
I
guess
the
contractor.
The
person
that
pays
us
would
be
the
city
of
laredo,
but
if
we
want
to
talk
about
how
things
get
approved
or
reviewed
before
we
go
forward
with
additional
services,
I
have
no
issues
rewarding
that
to
include
the
tourist
board.
C
We
can
definitely
make
sure
that
I
guess
the
language
should
just
reflect
similar
to
the
way
or
exact
the
way
that
we're
referring
to
or
to
the
two
parties
and
the
original
agreement,
because
this
is
just
an
amendment
now,
if
you
want
to
change
the
verbiage
from
the
original
agreement,
that
would
require
another
amendment
yeah.
I
actually
don't
have
access.
C
C
C
A
M
I
G
A
A
I
think
I
can
answer
that
so
that,
in
order,
because
the
city
is
not
signing
these
agreements-
they're
they're
coming
to
the
first
chair,
so
the
city
routes
that
and
the
first
chair
basically
puts
it
on
the
agenda
for
it
to
be
considered
and
voted
on.
So
if
you
had
an
additional
service,
we
asked
you
to
do
something
different.
It
would
start
with
ramon.
Eventually
it
ends
with
tina,
and
then
it
comes
to
this.
You
know
comes
to
this
board
correct
and
I
guess.
I
G
I
did
see-
and
maybe
I
just
don't
understand
it,
but
on
page
two,
it
talks
about
kci's
understanding
of
the
project
to
provide
public
improvements
within
the
city
of
laredo
downtown
area
in,
in
accordance
with
the
viva
laredo
comprehensive
plan.
Utilizing
grant
funds
for
these
improvements.
Are
we
utilizing
grant
funds.
E
G
G
I
I
A
G
To
be
on
every
subcommittee
and
be
notified
of
every
meeting
so
that
I
won't
be
able
to
attend
every
meeting
of
course,
but
once
the
meeting
I
would
like
to
at
least
be
aware
that
there's
a
meeting-
and
I
don't
think
that
I
know-
has
been
very
good
about
shooting
the
emails
out
if
she
could
just
shoot
an
email
out
to
the
whole
board.
To
I
mean
I
don't
know
if
the
board
wants
to
know,
but
I
specifically
would
like
to
know.
C
C
A
I
want
to
say
something:
you
know
when
we
get
to
a
time
certain
on
the
30.
I
think
we
would
want
the
entire
board
to
be
invited
and
we'll
post
that
so
everybody
gets
a
say
and
gets
their
input.
You
know,
and
you
know,
if
they,
if
they
don't
show
up
it's
already
posted,
then
that's,
that's
fine.
You
know
everybody
gets
invited.
A
G
On
number
three
and
task
number
three,
it
says:
identify
architectural
elements,
structural
and
mep.
I
don't
know
what
mep
means
design
needs
for
the
project,
so
I'm
wondering
since
we've
already
been
meeting
for
six
years,
we've
had
six
years
of
meetings
with
schema,
you
know
ideas
and
then
we,
the
to
the
board
as
a
whole,
hired
a
consulting
architectural
firm.
G
We
had
to
put
that
out
three
times
to
find
someone
to
finally
respond
that
took
a
lot
of
time
and
nathan
was
on
the
board
it
was
years
ago,
and
the
appeal
apparently
was
zero
because
we
finally
got
someone
and
we've
been
working
with
them
for
years.
So
I'm
wondering
if
number
three
means
you,
because
there's
already
been
a
lot
of
work
done.
Are
you
starting
from
ground
zero
with
the
architectural
elements.
I
No,
not
at
all
so
to
kind
of
clarify
that
to
identify
architectural
elements,
as
you
know,
architectural
structural
and
mep
mep
stands
for
mechanical
electrical
and
plumbing.
Thank
you,
and
so
that's.
Typically
in
this
particular
case,
we
did
talk
about
when
we
were
developing
our
our
portion
of
the
contract,
mainly
an
electrician,
having
an
electrician
involved
with
potentially
some
lighting
lighting
for
some
of
the
monument
signs.
I
G
I
I
G
My
concern
is
that
all
the
work,
the
preliminary
work
and
I
apologize-
I
know
you've
done
some
projects
downtown,
but
I
don't
know
your
history
or
your
your
qualifications
per
se.
I
don't
know
if
you
could
turn
downtown
laredo
into
what
mr
hertzer
referenced
at
the
pearl
in
the
pearl
district
in
san
antonio.
G
J
E
A
He
would
be
remiss
to
not
have
those
components
there.
I
mean
there,
anybody
that
works
for
a
board
understands
that
they're
also
going
to
collaborate
with
any
consultant
that
the
board
hires
and
he
has
done
nothing
but
invited
able
city.
If
that's
what
we're
talking
about
able
city,
you
will
be
included
in
work
that
this
firm
will
do,
and
we
will
make
sure
that
that
happens.
If
this
is
what.
A
I
I
I
G
I
I
I
want
to
see
downtown
better.
I
don't.
I
don't
disagree
with
with
any
of
that
stuff.
I
love
seeing.
I
I
eat
at
their
restaurant,
quite
often
at
the
at
the
cultura,
I'm
very
happy
that
they're
going
to
brick
and
mortar
I've
been
to
billy's
place
also
several
times.
I'm
I'm
excited
about
that
opportunity
to
bring
more
businesses
to
downtown,
and
I
think
we
do
need
to
kind
of
make
it
a
walkable
place.
I
stood
there
just
as
an
example.
We
were
out
there
on
friday
right
at
that
intersection.
I
The
convent-
and
I
have
a
young
engineer
that
just
started
with
me
and
I
have
her
working
on
this
project
and
I
was
pointing
out
to
her
how
look
look
at
how
the
people
are
coming
from
nobody,
though
they
come
in
wheelchairs.
They
come
in
in
other
areas
and
they
really
struggle
in
a
lot
of
those
blocks
to
really
get
around,
and
I
have
an
interest
in
making
it
better
and
we
will
do
our
best
to
make
it
better
absolutely
working
with
this
team
and
that's
what
we're
here
for
yeah.
K
I
Ma'am
work
done
yeah,
absolutely
we're
very
well
aware
of
that
and
everybody.
That
knows
me
and
my
firm
and
my
people,
the
people
that
work
with
me
we're
we're
here
to
serve
as
a
team
to
make
laredo
better.
That's
what
we're
here.
For
I
mean
I
have
a
vested
interest
in
this
just
as
much
as
everybody
else
does.
I
L
E
A
G
A
G
G
I
I
A
G
It
seems
like
whenever
you,
when
you
your
update
status,
is
if
there's
some
kind
of
change
or
something
coming
up
and
we
only
meet
once
a
month.
So
I'm
I
understand
in
the
interest
of
time.
You
know
stuff's
gonna
happen.
You
know,
you're,
not
gonna,
wait
for
a
board
meeting
to
try
and
get
this
stuff
done.
I
understand.
I
G
N
G
I
A
A
It's
been
moved
and
seconded
with
the
amendments
noted
any
additional
discussion
there
being
none.
All
those
in
paper
say:
aye
aye
any
against
none
motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much.
Everyone
for
the
discussion
item,
seven
discussion
with
possible
action
to
proceed
with
monuments,
signed
conceptual
design
options
and
public
comments
received
through
laredo
main
street
outreach
efforts.
A
N
Just
a
little
reminder.
These
were
the
three
the
three
options
that
were
given
to
the
community
to
vote
on
the
monument
that's
going
to
be
on.
Is
it
option
one
two
and
three,
as
you
can
see
so
a
little
bit
of
first
a
little
bit
about
the
myth
mythology?
It
first
started
with
messiah
appointed
a
citizen
committee
that
met
on
friday
july
15th.
N
After
that
the
signs
to
show
to
the
public
were
finalized.
The
committee
had
been
working
on
several
projects.
Participants
decided
three
different
votes
would
be
overwhelming
to
the
general
public.
So
that's
when
the
committee
moved
on
presenting
only
the
three
designs
for
the
8th
street
monument,
as
mentioned
earlier
from-
I
don't
know,
I
think
you
mentioned
it
earlier.
N
To
be
continued
able
city
modified
the
designs
and
provided
laredo
main
street
with
the
final
design
and
survey
link,
the
survey
was
posted
on
laredo
main
street
on
facebook
and
instagram
accounts
on
wednesday
august
3rd
at
5
25
pm.
The
reason
we
chose
5
pm
was
also
because
our
media
insights
have
shown
that
that's
the
number,
the
time
where
majority
of
the
engagement
has
the
highest
number
and
people
participate.
N
N
In
addition,
we
did
have
we
asked
fox,
telemundo
and
kgns
to
share
the
information
about
the
survey
and
invite
the
community
to
vote
fox
aired
it
friday,
august
5th,
at
9
00
pm
univision.
It
was
aired
friday,
august
5th
and
monday
august,
8th
at
10
p.m.
It
was
the
last
the
last
day
to
vote
and
kgns
on
the
weekend.
N
N
N
Our
instagram
account
we
have,
we
were
able
to
reach
2892
people.
444
people
were
engaged
to
the
post,
a
total
of
profile
activity
of
a
thousand
one
hundred
and
twenty
five.
As
you
can
see
up
here
as
well,
19
people
saved
the
post,
353
were
able
to
share
it
or
forward
it.
56
comments
and
a
total
of
333
people
like
the
post.
N
For
the
submissions
of
the
actual
survey,
we
were
able
to
see
that
six
thousand
five
hundred
and
forty
one
people
actually
viewed
the
survey.
Five
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seventy
four
started.
The
survey
and
from
those
five
thousand
four
5427
actually
submitted
the
serving
giving
us
a
completion
rate
of
92.4.
N
N
And
that's
what
we
have
so
real,
quick,
so
number
three
was
the
one
that
had
the
most
votes
and
number
two
was
the
second,
the
second,
we
were
excited
the
amount
of
submissions
that
that
were
submitted
to
the
link
were
at
least
close
to
10
from
our
media
that
we
outreached.
So
those
were
our
numbers.
A
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
doing
that
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be.
I
mean
I
think
that
we
didn't
present
to
the
board
number
two
prior,
so
that
fair
in
fairness
to
number
two.
Well,
maybe
we
did.
I
just
don't
remember
if
we
actually
voted
for
number
two,
but
I
think
number
three
has
has
been
where
this
board
has
voted.
I
guess
quasi-unanimously,
I
don't
know
if
it
was
entirely
unanimous,
but.
D
D
K
D
They
helped
us
with
like
a
lot
of
the
the
emphasis
of
what
they
wanted
to
see
on
like
with
it
and
make
sure
that
the
second
one
had
a
digital
sign
on
it.
I
would
like
to
say
that
there
were
a
lot
of
comments
about
number
two.
That's
referenced,
the
digital
sign.
A
lot
of
people
wanted
to
know
like
be
able
to
walk
up
and
see
what
was
playing
down
the
street.
K
D
Was
happening
and
there
is
the
potential
of
it
wouldn't
be
that
big.
But
there
is
a
potential
of
starting
to
marry
a
couple
of
these
ideas
into
number
three
so
that
that
can
be
part
of
it
and
in
some
way
as
well.
But
it's
important
to
to
do
the
solicitation
for
the
fabricators
so
that
we
can
work
directly
with
them
and
figure
all
of
that
out.
M
Thing
is
we're
going
to
work
directly
with
the
fabricators,
so
they
don't
need
like
a
full
set
of
documents
for
that,
because
they're
going
to
provide
that
turnkey
to
us.
I
think
one
of
the
things
the
comments
that
I've
gotten
in
terms
of
both
the
digital
signage
and
on-
and
I
know
we
have
we're
diminishing
monument
number
one.
But
the
one
comment
I
keep
getting
on
monument
number
one
is
the
historical
aspect
of.
K
M
And
so
maybe
there's
a
way
we
can
take
the
little
picture,
we
believe
and
fit
it
somewhere
on
monument
number
three
and
maybe
make
a
little
digital
sign
on
monument
number
three
like
incorporating
the
best
things
and
in
our
drawings.
So
in
other
words,
we
might
only
bid
one
thing,
but
we're
going
to
have
the
options
to
kind
of
incorporate
all
the
kind
of
the
best
things
of
all
the
options
that
we're
not
asking
the
fabricator
to
do.
Two
and.
A
M
A
M
G
D
A
For
me,
I
mean
I'm
good
with
any
one
of
those
three.
You
know.
I've
said
that
I'm
not
a
designer,
you
know,
and
I
I
would
support
any
one
of
those.
My
favorite
has
always
been
number
three.
I
would
surprise
me
with
those
lights,
but
with
I
liked
it
when
you
put
the
flag,
but
then
I
thought
that's
that
jumps.
You
know
jumps
at
you,
so
I'm
good
with
any
one
of
those.
Thank.
G
A
M
Right
right-
and
I
think
sorry,
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
asked
for
like
second
place
was
so
that
we
could
get
them
like
to
get
them
both
priced
to
say.
Okay,
if,
if
number
option
three
is
way
out
in
left
field
and
if
this
one's
more
affordable,
I
think
that's
it's
something
we
can
look
at
as
well.
D
J
K
D
A
A
Thank
you
all.
Those
in
favor
say
aye
hi
any
against
non-motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much.
We're
on
to
item
eight
discussion
possible
action
to
define
public
engagement,
efforts
that
advice,
the
public
and
downtown
community
stakeholders
of
upcoming
events.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
here
that
we
direct
able
city
to
come
back
with
a
proposal
on
a
public
awareness.
A
However,
we
want
to
term
it
considering
what
we
discussed
earlier
with,
where
we
will
be
with
kci's
work
and
renderings
and
other
things
to
get
the
public
involved
and
the
property
owners
involved.
If
we
can
do
that
by
the
next
meeting,
that
would
be
great.
I
don't
know
how
quickly
we're
going
to
be
to
30,
but
I
don't
think
we'll
be
we'll
be
there
by
the
next
meeting.
So
so.

The
one
that,
when
this
terrorist
board
was
being
considered
in
2016,
I
was
part
of
a
team
that
that
worked
with
the
consultant,
that
that
did
the
study
that
these
the
feasibility
study
and
at
the
time
the
consultant
did
make
us
all
aware
that
first
board
builds
things,
but
a
business
district
maintains
them
and
so
to
ria's.
Point
that
sign
that
needs
to
be
maintained
could
potentially
be
maintained
once
the
downtown
business
district
is
of
working
and
they
are
having
meetings
and
well.
G
O
Good
evening,
renee
wenzel
is
with
the
business
improvement
district,
which
is
the
name
that
we've
given
to
the
the
municipal
activity
district
will,
as
of
the
last
meeting,
to
be
able
to
recognize
and
get
very
familiar
with
the
downtown
that
it
is
a
downtown
area
that
is
being
now
the
the
district.
The
management
district
is
down
focusing
just
on
the
downtown
area.
O
So,
as
we
begin,
the
conversation
of
having
most
of
the
downtown
area
be
involved
in
this
process
and
that's
what's
key-
is
involving
every
landowner
and
property
owner
to
be
involved
in
this
process.
So
we
continue
to
begin
the
dialogue
to
try
to
get
them
involved
and
yeah
and
see
what
tools
we
can
use
to.
As
ms
alexander
said,
that
tears
can
produce,
but
who's
going
to
maintain.
P
And
if
julian
wrote
an
obviously
for
the
record
and
if
I
may
add
currently
main
street
has
been
working
on
an
outreach
to
all
of
the
businesses
downtown
to
see
what
they're
looking
for
when
it
comes
to
services
and
how
they
can
team
up.
So
that
effort
is
currently
in
the
works
and
we're
hoping
to
have
a
meeting
soon
a
business
improvement
district
meeting
soon,
so
that
we
can
get
an
update
on
main
street
on
where
they're
at
on
that
outreach.
P

Source
for
sure
right,
it's
very
it's
very
common
where
you
see
tours,
as
you
see,
business
improvement,
districts
overlaid
because
once
again
I'll
mention,
I'm
sure
everyone
that
lives
or
works
in
the
downtown
is
familiar
with
along
with
that,
when
they
set
up
those
misters,
it
was
great.
The
city
did
it.
There
was
no
oversight
or
maintenance
to
that,
so
they
were
pretty
much
dead
and
gone
after
two
years.
A
Than
two
years
you
know,
I
think
one
one
thing
the
timing
may
be
right
to
get.
You
know
the
tours,
get
the
district,
the
business
district
and
main
street
together
to
try
to
formulate
what
corpus
has
done.
I
think
some
of
you
know
they
all
work
in
cohesion.
In
fact,
their
their
main
street
is
the
same
management
district.
It's
the
same.
A
I
don't
know
if
it's
the
same
board,
but
they
have
a
working
arrangement
and
I
think
that
would
be
advantageous
for
for
there
to
be
resources
that
are
all
aligned
and
people
that
are
working
together.
You
know,
as
you
guys
meet,
maybe
suggesting
some
sort
of
forum
where
you
get
all
these
parties
together
to
kind
of
carve
out
a
strategy
for
for
the
future.
On
that.
A
E
K
P
A
P
K
P
It
has
been
discussed
about
since
so
we
don't
have
repetitive
conversations,
because
I
think
it's
fairly
obvious
that
main
street
the
business
improvement
district
and
the
tours
all
goals
are
essentially
the
same
thing.
We
just
all,
do
it
slightly
differently
and
that's
why
it's
very
integral
to
put
them
all
together
in
the.
A
Okay,
I
would
suggest
think
about
when
you,
if
you
want
to
put
the
groups
together,
I
mean
we're,
certainly
open
to
to
be
part
of
that
discussion
and
there's
people
that
can
join
yeah
all
right.
So
there
is
no
action
on
this
item
unless
somebody
else
wants
to
okay.
So
then,
the
next
item
is
discussion
possible
action
regarding
invoices
submitted
by
able
city
as
presented.
That's
item
10..
You
have
you,
provided
those
in
your
packets,
I'll,
entertain
a
motion
on
on
those
invoices
or
any
clarifications
or
everything's,
been
worked
out
on
edits
and
changes.
G
A
Alexander
moves
that
they
be
approved,
that's
presented.
Is
there
a
second
okay?
Has
it
been
seconded
by
mr
mia
any
comments
or
any
discussion?
They're
being
done,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
against
non-motion
passes
a
motion
to
adjourn.
It's
7,
24
00.
Second,
miss
alexander
seconds,
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
aye
any
against
non-motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much.
Everybody
thank.
