          [5. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the condition, quantity, location, preservation, and restoration of fire hydrants and sidewalks within the Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ #1), presented by the Water Department, Public Works Department, and the City Engineer.]
DISCUSSING AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE CONDITIONS, QUANTITY AND LOCATION PRESERVATION AND REESE AERATION OF THE FIRE HYDRANTS AND SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE. NUMBER ONE PRESENTED BY THE WATER DEPARTMENT, PUBLIC WORK DEPARTMENT, AND THE CITY ENGINEER. WHO'S GOING TO DO THAT, RON? GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          COMMITTEE. CITY STAFF WAS REQUESTED TO PUT TOGETHER A PROPOSAL FOR THE COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, INCLUDING THE AREA INCLUDED IN THE MARDI GRAS AREA. SO THE FIRST THING THAT WAS ASKED OF STAFF WAS TO LOOK AT HYDRANTS WITHIN THE AREA. THERE WAS JUST ABOUT A DOZEN OR SO. A FEW OF THEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REST OF THEM COULD BE PAINTED AND REHABBED TO IMPROVE ITS ESTHETICS. WE WERE ABLE TO PRICE THAT OUT TO A LITTLE OVER $100,000. SO 108 AND CHANGE TO PERFORM ALL THAT WATER WORK. 
          SOME OF THOSE REQUIRED SOME ADDITIONAL PIPING, BUT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT WITH SOME OF OUR EXISTING CONTRACTS AS WELL AS SOME OF OUR CITY STAFF. SO WE WERE ABLE TO COLLECT THAT FIRST AND THEN IN IN ADDITION, WE WERE ABLE TO LAY THAT OUT ON A MAP OVERLAYING THE MARDI GRAS AREA AND THEN SHOWING SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE HYDRANTS WITHIN THAT AREA. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE IN THE PACKET THAT YOU HAVE AS WELL IN THERE ON THE MAP, IT DOES IDENTIFY THE ONES THAT WE WOULD BE STRICTLY PAINTING VERSUS THE ONES THAT DO NEED REPLACEMENT, INCLUDING A COUPLE OF LINES. THE OTHER OPPORTUNITY THAT STAFF LOOKED AT IS AS WE ARE POTENTIALLY DIGGING UP A FEW OF THESE HYDRANTS AND GOING TO DISTURB SOME SIDEWALKS, WE'RE AWARE OF SOME OF THE CONCERNS IN THAT MARDI GRAS AREA, WHERE SOME OF THE SIDEWALKS AND CURBS ARE DAMAGED IN POOR CONDITION, BROKEN, PROVIDE SOME ISSUE FOR FOLKS THAT WILL BE VISITING THE AREA THIS EARLY THIS NEXT YEAR, ESPECIALLY LARGE CROWDS. SO WE DID SCOPE A PROJECT OVER THERE TO LOOK AT HOW MUCH OF THE SIDEWALK AND CURB IS CURRENTLY BROKEN. IT'S NOT A COMPREHENSIVE PIECE. IT'S NOT REPLACING EVERY INCH. THIS IS JUST TO ADDRESS THE ONES THAT ARE IN BAD SHAPE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH THAT. STAFF WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY ABOUT $220,000 WORTH OF REPLACEMENTS. WE WOULD DO THIS IN COORDINATION WITH THE THE HYDRANT WORK TO ESSENTIALLY PUT TOGETHER A COMPLETE PROJECT. SO ONCE THE HYDRANTS ARE DONE, WE CAN COME BACK THROUGH AFTERWARDS, DO THE CURB AND SIDEWALK REPLACEMENTS, AND THEN KIND OF GET OURSELVES OUT OF THAT AREA. CITY STAFF CAN ALSO ASSIST WITH DOING SOME OF THE RESTORATION WORK, LIKE DOING SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL PAVING AND PATCHING THAT WOULD LIKELY NEED TO BE DONE. SO TOGETHER WITH BOTH OF THOSE PUTTING TOGETHER KIND OF A COMPLETE PROJECT. CITY STAFF RECOMMENDS THE COMMITTEE CONSIDER A TOTAL PROJECT INVESTMENT FROM THE TOURS OF 330,000. THIS WOULD ACCOMPLISH BOTH, AND THEN STAFF HAS CONTRACTS IN PLACE, AND WE'D BE ABLE TO MOVE PRETTY QUICKLY TO ENSURE THAT THE WORK IS DONE AHEAD OF THE MARDI GRAS EVENT. WITH THAT, DEFINITELY ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS. IF YOU DO QUESTION DIRECTORS. ALL RIGHT. MAYOR. QUICK, QUICK QUESTION. SO THE HYDRANTS VISUAL THE VISUAL IMPROVEMENT IS 108,000 SIDEWALK AND CURB IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT MARDI GRAS AREA IS 220,000. IS THAT AM I READING THAT CORRECTLY? THAT IS CORRECT. YES. AND SO WHAT MAKES THE APPROXIMATE TOTAL? WHY DO WE GO FROM 220 TO 330,000. I JUST KIND OF THAT'S ADDING I'M GOOD WITH THAT ADDING THE TWO TOGETHER. SO OH I'M SORRY. IT'S 108 FOR THE HYDRANTS AND THEN TWO BASIC MATH. OKAY. I DIDN'T DO WELL. I'M GOING TO PIGGYBACK ON THE MAYOR. SO HOW DO WE DETERMINE THE SIDEWALK? I KNOW WE HAVE SOME OF THAT IN OUR BUDGETS WITH THE CITY. SO HOW DO WE DETERMINE THE WHAT AREA OF BASED UPON WHAT. SO WE IDENTIFIED A HANDFUL ON NOT ONLY THE MARDI GRAS AREA AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE PROCTOR STREET AREA ALL THE WAY UP TO WOODWORTH. SO THE 220 IS SPECIFICALLY THE AREAS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN MARDI GRAS. SO BETWEEN DALLAS AND SHREVEPORT, AND THEN THE ADJACENT BLOCKS NEXT TO PROCTOR. IS THIS A RENDITION RIGHT HERE? WHO'S CORRECT. SO THIS IS SOME OF THE IMAGERY. WE DON'T HAVE EVERY SQUARE INCH. SO THAT WE 
          [00:10:02]
WOULD BE PROPOSING TO REPLACE. BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE SIDEWALKS AND CURBS THAT WE WOULD REPLACE. AGAIN, IT'S MOSTLY THE BROKEN AND DAMAGED ONES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TARGETING. BUT THAT SURVEY WAS DONE WITH SOME OF OUR ENGINEERING STAFF EARLIER THIS SPRING TO IDENTIFY NOT ONLY THE ONES ON PROCTOR, BUT SOME OF THESE SIDE STREETS THAT HAVE. BUT IMMEDIATELY TO PROCTOR. OKAY. AND LET'S GO BACK TO THE FIRE HYDRANTS. NOW WE'RE REPLACING. THE ONES IN RED. THAT'S WHAT I SAID. NEED REPLACE THREE HYDRANTS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S ONLY THREE. ONLY THREE. THE REST OF THEM WILL BE PAINTED WITH SOME MINOR MAINTENANCE ON THEM. SO JUST KIND OF UPDATING THEM. TWO OF THEM WILL DO THE THE LATERAL LINES TO. SO WHAT DETERMINES MAIN LINES. SO IS IT FILLED. 
          THOSE THREE ARE FILLED HYDRANTS OR WHAT WHAT HOW DO WE DETERMINE INSIDE ON THE MECHANISM? WE. WE'LL PROBABLY GO IN AND SEE IF THEY CAN BE REPAIRED. IF THEY CAN'T BE REPAIRED, WE DO THEM UP AND REPLACE THEM. SO RIGHT NOW WE DON'T KNOW. AND WE UNTIL WE I MEAN, WE'RE WE'RE NOT WE HAVE TO HAVE A CONTRACTOR THAT ACTUALLY GOES IN AND TAKES THEM APART. OUR STAFF IS TRAINED TO TAKE THEM APART. WE DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS TO GO DOWN INTO THE HYDRANT. AND EVERY FIRE HYDRANT IN THE BOUNDARY WILL BE PAINTED AT LEAST, RIGHT? OH, YEAH. IT'S A MINIMUM THAT EVERYTHING HERE GETS SANDBLASTED, PRIMED AND PAINTED, AND THEN IT GETS THE CORRECT COLOR TOP BASED ON THE FLOW RATE. IT'S THE I SEE YOUR BOX AREA FROM LOOKS LIKE THAT'S. 
          I'M SORRY. NO YOU'RE GOOD. WE'RE AROUND HERE. SO IT'S YOU'RE SAYING THE ONES IN GOLD THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE MARDI GRAS AREA. BUT THAT'S DETERS AREA. SO EVERY FIRE HYDRANT WILL IN THE AREA WILL BE PAINTED OR NOT. ALL THE ONES THAT HAVE CIRCLES AROUND THEM. 
          KIND OF THE THAT'S WITHIN THE MARDI GRAS AREA. THAT'S MARDI GRAS. BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT MARDI GRAS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. NOT A PART OF THIS. OKAY, OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS? Y'ALL. Y'ALL QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT. IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS, I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING I. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. THANK YOU. OH, WE GOT SOME. YES, SIR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE PROVING. ARE YOU PROVING A CERTAIN AMOUNT. ARE YOU PROVING CERTAIN PRESENTED. WHAT WAS PRESENTED? WHAT WAS PRESENTED? YOU WANT ME TO. IF YOU CAN PULL UP THE THE LAST SLIDE THERE'S A RECOMMENDED ACTION ON THE LAST SLIDE. ON THE LAST SLIDE. OKAY. 
          YOU WANT ME TO GO AHEAD AND KEEP US HONEST? CITY ATTORNEY. WHAT DO YOU LIKE? ALL RIGHT. 
          OKAY, LET'S DO THIS. LET'S GET IT BACK ON THE FLOOR. I NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE AUTHORIZATION OF PARTICIPATION OF 330,000 TOWARDS THE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT IN THE MARDI GRAS AREA. TO INCLUDE HYDROGEN VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS. APPROXIMATELY 220,000 FOR THE EXPANSION. 
          EXPANDED SIDEWALK AND CURB WORK. CAN I GET A MOTION FOR THAT? SO MOVED IT'S BEEN MOTION. AND SECOND, ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? OKAY. IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE. 
          ALL IN FAVOR, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WHAT ELSE WE GOT HERE? ALL RIGHT. NUMBER SIX 
          [6. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the lighting, light pole banners, gateway markers, and signage within the Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ #1 ), presented by the Port of Port Arthur Navigation District.]
PRESENTATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE LIGHTING LIGHT POLE BANNERS, GATEWAY MARKERS AND SIGNAGE WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE. 
          TURNS NUMBER ONE PRESENTED BY THE PORT OF PORT ARTHUR NAVIGATION DISTRICT. OKAY. GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS ED LONG. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING FOR THE PORT OF PORT ARTHUR, AND I APPRECIATE THE TIME TO COME UP HERE AND MAKE A PRESENTATION ON WHAT WE PROPOSE TO DO WITH TOURIST MONEY. TWO MONTHS AGO, WE CAME AND PRESENTED. WE'VE GOT SEVEN MONUMENT SIGNS AT FOUR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND SOME LIGHT BULB BANNERS LOCATED ALONG HOUSTON AVENUE AND PROCTER STREET, PROVIDED. IT'S A SIMILAR PRESENTATION TO WHAT WE HAD BEFORE. AS FAR AS THE EXHIBITS, WHERE THESE BANNERS WOULD GO. SINCE THAT TIME, WE'VE MET WITH THE CITY MANAGER SO WE CAN COORDINATE WHAT TYPE OF SIGNAGE WOULD BE ON THESE FLAGPOLES. I'M SORRY, LIGHT POLES. AND SO WE'VE LIMITED IT. WE'VE WE'VE DECREASED THE NUMBER OF BANNERS FROM 22 TO 11. SO IT'S NOT JUST CONSTANT IT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO DENSE, 
          [00:15:05]
TOO MANY, TOO MANY SIGNS OUT THERE. SO WE'VE MODIFIED THE BANNERS. AND AS FAR AS THE, THE MONUMENT SIGNS AND THE SIGNAGE WE GAVE PROVIDED A BUDGET NUMBER AT THE TWO MONTHS AGO. 
          WE'RE ASKED TO COME BACK AND DO MORE DETAILED ESTIMATES. SO WE DUG DOWN A LITTLE BIT DEEPER AND DID A PROVIDE A DETAILED ESTIMATE. AND WE COULD WE COULD, IF YOU'D LIKE, WE COULD FLIP THROUGH AND SEE THE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OR WE GO TO THE BIG CHANGE WAS ON THE LAST PAGE AS FAR AS THE ESTIMATE AND THE COST OF THE PROJECTS. WHAT WE'VE DONE, WE HAD A, LIKE I SAY, THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL OR REQUEST WAS AROUND WAS FOR $165,000. ONCE WE DID THE SOME DETAIL, MORE DESIGN, DETAILED ESTIMATES TO TRY AND PUT IT TOGETHER. WE HAD A TOTAL PROJECT COST OF JUST OVER $219,000. BUT WHAT THE PORT'S PROPOSING, WE'D LIKE TO MATCH THE GRANT. WE'D LIKE TO DO A 25% 75% TO WHERE THE GRANT WOULD BE 75%. WE MATCH THE REST. 
          IF ANYTHING EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT THAT'S UP TO THE PORT, WE WOULD BE PAYING THAT. SO WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO IT, WE'VE GOT A THE SUMMARY. WE'VE GOT LIGHT BULB BANNERS AND THE AMOUNT OF 14,700. WE'VE GOT THREE LARGE SIGNS TOTALING $144,150, AND THEN FOUR SMALLER SIGNS OF THE GATEWAY MARKERS TOTALING 61,100. THE TOTAL PROJECT COST IS 219,950. PORT IS PROPOSING TO PUT UP 25% OF THE MATCH OF 54,988, AND LEAVING A GRANT REQUEST OF $164,962. ONE ITEM THAT WE'VE SEEN THAT REALLY AFFECTED THE PRICING OF THE SIGNS WAS THE ELECTRICAL TRYING TO GET, YOU KNOW, GET THE ELECTRICAL TO THE SIGNS AND ACTUALLY ILLUMINATE THEM. WHO FELT THAT THE LARGE MONUMENT SIGNS, AS SHOWN IN ONE OF OUR THE FIRST PICTURES WOULD REQUIRE LIGHTING THE SMALLER SIGNS. WE CAN GET AWAY WITHOUT ANY LIGHTING. AT THIS TIME, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MAY HAVE. QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS? WELL, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION I. I KNOW WE HAD SOME. WE WE'RE TRYING TO GET SOME INFORMATION ABOUT. 
          ENTITIES AND WHAT THEY'RE CONTRIBUTING IN THE TOURIST AREA. SO I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF WE WERE ABLE TO TALK TO ALL THE DIRECTORS UP HERE ABOUT THAT. SO. WE DID GET A REPORT FROM OUR FINANCIAL DIRECTOR. SO IF WE CAN. I DON'T KNOW, SHOULD WE GO TO PROBABLY DISCUSS THAT OR WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT THAT? BECAUSE I DON'T I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO KIND OF SAY IT OPENLY LIKE THIS IN A, IN A SETTING LIKE THIS. WHAT DO YOU THINK? YEAH, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ■ALL THE DIFFERENT ENTITIES THAT WE'RE A PARTNERSHIP WITH AND I CONTRIBUTED TO THE TOUR SO FAR. THUS FAR. YEAH, I WOULD BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION. OKAY. 
          CAN WE GET THAT INFORMATION? CAN IT BE PROVIDED TO DO YOU WANT TO DO WE WANT TO DO THAT OPENLY OR DO WE WANT TO DO IT? CITY ATTORNEY, ARE YOU SUGGESTING WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST IF WE DO IT OPENLY OR GO WITH ZACH AND COME ON BACK UP? THE INFORMATION IS ACTUALLY PUBLIC INFORMATION, UNLESS YOU'RE SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING THE AGREEMENT. I THINK WE HAVE SOME BASIC INFORMATION THAT THE FINANCE DIRECTOR AND CITY MANAGER CAN SHARE WITH YOU. OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU. AND YEAH, WE'VE GOT WE DO HAVE SOME INFORMATION. 
          OUR COUNTY DEPARTMENT DID PUT TOGETHER. THEY OBTAINED IT FROM THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT BECAUSE ANY OF THE TAX MONEY THAT COMES IN, THEY. IT DOESN'T. THAT PORTION OF THE TOURS DOES NOT COME TO US. IT ACTUALLY IS DISTRIBUTED STRAIGHT TO TOURS DIRECTLY. SO LET ME GIVE SOME. 
          OKAY. YEAH, LET ME GIVE SOME BASICS. WHEN THE TOURS WAS CREATED, IT HAD ITS INITIAL BOUNDARY. AND THEN I THINK IT WAS IN A FEW YEARS LATER THAT YOU EXPANDED THE BOUNDARIES. 
          AND THE EXPANSION WAS INCLUSIVE OF PORT PROPERTY. BUT THE, THE ACTUAL AMENDED BOUNDARY, THE EXTRA AREA HAD ABOUT 220 TRACKS IN IT, AND ABOUT 76 OF THOSE 220 TRACKS ARE NON PORT OWNED PROPERTY. OKAY. THE FINANCE DIRECTOR SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME UP HERE AND TELL YOU, WHILE WE WERE LOOKING AT THE FINANCES AND THE BILLING, SHE DISCOVERED SOMETHING INTERESTING. THE EACH OF THE ENTITIES UP HERE ENTERED INTO A PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY TO PARTICIPATE IN TOURS. THE CITY CONTRIBUTES 100% OF THE INCREMENTAL TAX VALUE BACK INTO THE TOURS. ALL 
          [00:20:01]
OF THE OTHER ENTITIES THAT SERVE ON THIS BOARD CONTRIBUTE 20% OF THE TAX INCREMENT INTO THE TOURS. AND IN ORDER TO GET THAT INCREMENT DEPOSITED INTO THE TOURS ACCOUNT, THE FINANCE DIRECTOR INVOICES THE COUNTY, THE AMOUNT, THE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE'VE ONLY BEEN INVOICING SABINE-NECHES NAVIGATION DISTRICT, THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT. NUMBER SEVEN. THE COUNTY AND THE CITY. WE REALIZED THAT THERE IS NO INVOICE TO THE PORT, SO I'M GOING TO TURN OVER THOSE NUMBERS NOW TO THE FINANCE DIRECTOR, SINCE I'M NOT PRIVY TO THAT. BUT WE HAVEN'T BEEN INVOICING THE PORT FOR THE TAX INCREMENT TO BE DEPOSITED INTO THE FUNDS. SO THERE ACTUALLY MAY BE MORE MONEY OUT THERE. AND WHAT I, I SUSPECT AND WHAT THE FINANCE DIRECTOR IS LOOKING INTO IS NOT ONLY THE ADDED BOUNDARY OF THE PORT'S MONEY, RIGHT, THAT THE PORT'S PORTION OF THE TOURS, BUT IT'S ALSO ALL OF THE OTHER ENTITIES MONEY IN THAT EXPANDED AREA THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN BILLED. AM I MAKING SENSE? OKAY, BUT I'M NOT THE NUMBER LADY. I'M GOING TO TURN THAT OVER TO THE EXPERTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I'VE SAID, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. YOU WANT TO RUN. YOU WANT TO ALLOW HER LYNN TO COME ON UP? YEAH. GET THERE. AND THAT'S AN EASY FIX. OKAY. THAT'S AN EASY FIX FOR US. YOU KNOW THE PORT? THE PORT IS NOT THE ONE THAT'S RESPONSIBLE. WE'VE GOT TO WORK WITH THE TAX ASSESSORS DISTRICT. RIGHT, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CORRECT IT, YOU KNOW. OKAY. BUT THE MONEY IS AVAILABLE AND WE COULD WORK ON THAT. GO AHEAD. 
          I'LL SAY ONE MORE THING ON THIS REAL QUICK. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE, ONCE THIS HAD COME TO MY ATTENTION, THEY SAID THEY WILL BE DOING A REBUILD IN NOVEMBER. AND THEN AFTER THE REBUILD, THAT IS NEXT MONTH ALREADY? YEAH. NEXT MONTH. I'M SORRY. IT'LL BE DONE NEXT MONTH JUST AS A REBUILD. BUT SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE ACTUAL TAX BILLS WILL GO OUT. 
          THEY WILL MAKE UP AND THEY WILL PUT DOWN THE FOUR YEARS THAT HAD BEEN MISSING. THEY HAD THE INFORMATION BACK IN 22. I THINK IT JUST SLIPPED BETWEEN THE CRACKS FOR THEM. AND I GET ALL OF MY TAX INFORMATION AND EVERYTHING THAT I BILL I GET FROM THE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE. SO I TECHNICALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL THEY GIVE ME THE VALUE. IT DOES SOUND LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND BILL, THOUGH, FOR THIS YEAR, I DIDN'T GET ANY INDICATION THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO. AND SO FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, ANYWHERE FROM 50 75,000 MORE. 
          FOR THEM. FOR ALL OF THEM, I'M GOING BACK FOUR YEARS. OH, OKAY. OKAY. HE'S THINKING IT MIGHT BE MORE THAN 30,000. I'M THINKING IT MIGHT BE MORE. AND WE WILL FIND OUT VERY, VERY SHORTLY IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, WHAT THAT AMOUNT IS GOING TO BE IN TERMS OF IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT, AND I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE GRANT, BASED ON EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE HAVE GIVEN INFORMATION ON AND THE AMENDMENT THAT'S COMING, I'M JUST $7,000 SHORT FOR, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE GRANT PORTION IS OURS OR, OR HOW THAT IS IF HE'S ASKING FOR MONEY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          THAT'S JUST THAT'S THE ONLY PART THAT I'M JUST SHORT BY JUST BY 7000. BUT THAT CAN BE EASILY RECTIFIED BY THE PORT'S CONTRIBUTION. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF ME? LET'S LET'S SEE. WE GOT ANY MORE QUESTIONS, GUYS? YEAH. GO AHEAD MAYOR. THANK YOU. SO LYNN, THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE WE WE JUST APPROVED 330,000. SO LIKE YOU SAID, I THINK 488 WILL BE OUR TOTAL IN OUR ACCOUNT. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE OVERDRAWN BEFORE WE BUY $7,000. I'VE ALREADY DONE THE CALCULATION. I KNOW YOU, DOCTOR BOSWELL. I'M SORRY. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE MATHEMATICIAN. I AM NOT THAT. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE. SO MY THING WAS, WHEN WOULD WE HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, PAY THE BILLS? AND, YOU KNOW, HOW HOW WOULD THIS. I THINK WE COULD WE COULD EASILY ACCOMMODATE IT THOUGH, BECAUSE ALL THESE SIGNS WILL NOT GO UP ALL AT ONE TIME. OKAY. IS THAT CORRECT? THE MONUMENT SIGN, THEY WON'T BE GOING UP ALL AT ONE TIME. SO LET'S SAY IF WE LOOK AT A SIX MONTH PERIOD, 6 TO 8 MONTH PERIOD OF PUTTING UP ALL THE SIGNS, I KNOW THE BANNERS CAN BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. THOSE CAN BE ORDERED, BUT THE MONUMENT SIGNS ARE GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME. SO BY THAT TIME, THE IF YOU GIVE US INITIAL APPROVAL, THAT WILL ALLOW US TO WORK WITH THE PORT TO GET THINGS RIGHT GOING. THEY TAKE PAYMENT PLANS WELL, BECAUSE THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE ON. 
          [00:25:01]
YEAH. WELL, WE PAY THEM A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME. YEAH. BUT I THINK IF YOU GIVE US INITIAL APPROVAL, WE'LL WORK WITH THE PORT AS THEY SCHEDULE THOSE MONUMENT SIGNS OVER THE NEXT 6 TO 8 MONTHS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY WOULD GET THEY WOULD HAVE TO IDENTIFY THE AREAS. THEY WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHERE THOSE SIGNS ARE PLACED, YOU'VE GOT RIGHT OF HOW YOU CALL EASEMENTS. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE QUITE SOME TIME TO DO SO. IF YOU GIVE US INITIAL APPROVAL, WE'LL COME BACK FOR THE EXPENDITURES. WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU AND PROVIDE YOU WITH A PROGRESS REPORT, AND THAT WILL ALLOW US TO GET THE MONIES INLAND IS YES, WE SHOULD HAVE THE MONIES IN BEFORE THEN. OKAY. AND THEN YOU COULD VOTE ON IT. IS THAT OKAY? SO GIVING YOU THE INITIAL APPROVAL TO MOVE AHEAD. THAT'S WHAT I'M. WELL, LET'S LET'S DISCUSS. LET'S DISCUSS THIS. SO IF WE GIVE YOU INITIAL HEADS UP ABOUT THAT PROJECT, KNOWING THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME MORE FUNDING NEXT MONTH, AND HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK? RON. HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK IF WHAT WOULD YOU DO? I MEAN, YOU JUST WOULD GET THE BANNERS AT THIS TIME, AND WE'RE GOING TO MODIFY THIS RECOMMENDATION AND COME BACK AND DO THE MARQUEES. YEAH. IF WE HAD APPROVAL ON THE BANNERS, WE COULD GET THAT DONE IMMEDIATELY AND GET THAT OUT. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A KEEP ME HONEST, ROXANNE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO AMEND THIS. TELL ME 14,700. AND I KNOW THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE FOR RECORD. AND THEN. SO WE'RE GOING TO JUST DO THE BANNERS GUYS IS THAT I'M NOT SURE THE BANNERS ARE ACTUALLY ELIGIBLE. 
          OKAY. TELL ME WHAT'S ELIGIBLE. INFRASTRUCTURE IS WHAT'S ELIGIBLE. PERHAPS WHAT YOU CAN DO IS LIKE YOU DO ON CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL APPROVE THE CITY MANAGER ENTERING INTO NEGOTIATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PORT TO DEVELOP A PROJECT FOR THE GATEWAYS. YOU MAY WANT TO GO AHEAD AND AND BEGIN AN INITIAL AMOUNT TO COME BACK LATER. FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO ONION LAYER THIS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THE MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT YET, AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BE OVERDRAWN. NO. AND AND I'M SORRY. NO, BUT THAT'S THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING. SO CAN WE JUST BUT THE BANNERS ARE. YEAH. THE BANNERS ARE NOT GOING TO PUT IT THERE JUST FOR. THAT'S THE BANNERS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE. 1407 YEAH. SO CAN WE JUST. NO, WE LOOKED AT OUR AGREEMENT. I THINK IT'S WITH THE CITY OR WITH WITH TOURS AT THE SAME THING. I THOUGHT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL, WATER, SEWER, DRAINAGE, PAVING, SIDEWALKS, FIRE HYDRANTS, ALL THOSE, ALL THE REALLY COOL, FUN STUFF FOR CIVIL ENGINEER. BUT THE THERE'S LIKE A LINE IN THERE FOR BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS AS WELL. YEAH, IT WAS LIKE THERE WAS A LIST OF SEVEN, 7 OR 8 THINGS AND DOWN TOWARDS THE BOTTOM THIS, THE BANNERS WOULD HAVE FALLEN INTO THAT. CAN WE DO THIS? CAN WE JUST HOLD THIS UNTIL NEXT MONTH? SURE. CAN WE DO THAT? ABSOLUTELY. IF EVERYBODY OH, CAN WE TABLE THIS BECAUSE MY I LIKE TO HAVE THE MONEY IN IN HAND. I LIKE TO GET THIS ALL RECTIFIED BETWEEN THE PORT AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE TOURS, YOU KNOW, SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY MISUNDERSTANDING. AND INSTEAD OF IMPROVING SOMETHING WITHOUT HAVING ALL THOSE DUCKS IN A ROW, THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE. AND THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. GO AHEAD. MAYOR. YEAH, I'M SORRY, I AM. YEAH. THE WAY I STAND, I DON'T LIKE TO APPROVE SOMETHING THAT I DON'T SEE THE MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT FOR. I DON'T THINK IT'S GOOD. 
          PRUDENT AS AS COMMISSIONERS AND COUNCIL ON THIS BOARD TO APPROVE MONIES. I KNOW IT'S IT'S COMING IN BUT IT'S NOT THERE. IT'S NOT HERE. AND SO TODAY I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE APPROVING SOMETHING THAT'S NOT IN THE ACCOUNT UNTIL WE CAN SEE THAT MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT. I JUST DON'T THINK WE'LL BE DOING THE TOURS JUSTICE BY US APPROVING SOMETHING THAT'S NOT I JUST DON'T I COULDN'T SO YES, MA'AM. COUNCILMAN FRANK, I FEEL THE SAME WAY. GOOD. YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DIRECTOR. COMMISSIONER. MARTIN. SO THE ONLY ISSUE THAT WE THAT WE SEE WITH THIS PROJECT IS THE MONEY'S NOT IN THE ACCOUNT. 
          WELL, TWO THINGS. THAT'S IT. THE MONEY'S NOT IN ACCOUNT. I. I THINK THAT OUR DIRECTOR AND THE CITY MANAGER IS GOING TO GET WITH THE COUNTY AND FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, HOW WE CAN DO THE BILLING, GET THE BILLING CORRECT TO GET THE MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT. ONCE WE DO THAT, I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH WITH THIS PROJECT. I MEAN, IT'S BENEFITING PORT ARTHUR. I THINK IT'S IN OUR TERMS THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR. BUT WE GOT TO GET THE MONEY SIDE RIGHT ON ON THE BACK, ON THE FRONT END. AND THEN WE CAN PROBABLY DO THIS, THIS PROJECT. IT'S NOT A RUSH. 
          [00:30:06]
I'M UNDERSTANDING. RIGHT. YES, SIR. OKAY. SO IF WE WANT TO TABLE THIS AND IT COMES BACK NEXT MONTH IN OUR MEETING, TORY DE HOW YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT THAT? I HAVE MY YEAH. GO AHEAD MAYOR. 
          YEAH. I, I THINK THE PROJECT IS AWESOME. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE FLAGS. I THINK THE PUTTING THAT THERE WOULD JUST ENHANCE DOWNTOWN. ALL OF IT IS REALLY TO HELP AND ENHANCE DOWNTOWN PORT ARTHUR. BUT I JUST CAN'T. LOOKING AT 488 K RIGHT NOW, THAT'S GOING TO BE APPROVED ON NOVEMBER 2ND. AND GOING OVER THAT AMOUNT. NO, EVEN BY, YOU KNOW, SEVEN I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT PROJECT. I'M FOR IT, BUT I JUST CAN'T. YEAH, CONSCIOUSLY VOTE WHEN THE MONEY IS NOT THERE. AND I DON'T SEE WHAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS OR SO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, COACH. YOU GOT SOMETHING? OKAY, JUDGE, YOU GOT SOMETHING. OKAY. YEAH. GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD. RON. MR. CHAIRMAN, IS IT OKAY? THE CITY ATTORNEY HAD A SUGGESTION. 
          IS IT OKAY THAT WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY? BOTH THE PORT AND THE MANAGER CONTINUES TO WORK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY ON A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING. YEAH. BETWEEN US, SO THAT BY THE TIME WE COME BACK, YEAH, WE'LL BE READY. THAT SHOULD BE READY. ARE WE BY THAT TIME, WE SHOULD HAVE SOME WORD FROM LYNN. YEAH. AS TO ALL THE MONEY'S IN. OKAY. OKAY.
