GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'D LIKE TO PLACE INTO RECORD A COUPLE OF GUIDELINES FOR THAT CITY THAT YOU CREATED. STUDY DATA. IN MY DAY, WE SERVER FARM AND 150 OF THEM ALREADY IN ARIZONA. AM I NOT ON? FIRST LOCATE ANY CENTERS ALONG HIGHWAYS USING THESE RIGHT OF WAYS, CONNECTING TO THE GRID AND OTHER UTILITIES INTO THE CENTERS WERE LARGE OPEN CONNECTIONS, ADDITIONAL LAND. NOW ALSO REMEMBER CDOT IS WORKING ON 505 TO CUT RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF FLOORS. AND I REMIND MYSELF THAT SHE TAKES EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO PUSH THE SOUTHERN THE NORTHERN PORTION AS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MAJOR HIGHWAYS COMING INTO OUR ARTILLERY MATERIAL ROAD HERE IN FLORIDA. SO I'D LIKE COMMITTEE TO TAKE THAT REFERENCE. SECOND, IF AND WHEN YOU APPROVE A DEAL.

[6. PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS]

THIS. SORRY. NO WORRIES. RIGHT. OKAY. AND THEN LET ME GO BACK. GOT IT. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. I THINK IT WAS ABOUT ALMOST A YEAR AGO THAT WE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES WITH A COUPLE OF YOU HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TO TO, YOU KNOW, PARTICIPATE IN SOME COMMITTEES. WE HAVE ONE OF THE COMMITTEES OF IS ENERGY. AND THAT COMMITTEE PROBABLY WORKED ON THIS PRESENTATION FOR A YEAR.

IT'S A WHILE TO PUT IT TOGETHER LONG, A KIND OF BLOW THROUGH IT AND, AND KIND OF HIT THE HIGH

[00:05:04]

THIS IS THIS IS A GRID SYSTEM. THIS IS MISSION AND TERRITORIES. THE CHART ON THE LEFT. ACTUAL SERVICE TERRITORIES FOR S, S, R, AND THEN THE DISTRICTS, YOU CAN SEE D TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE AND APS SRP. AND THAT'S HOW THEY COVER THE COUNTY. PINAL COUNTY IS COVERED. SO AGAIN THESE RELY ON ENERGY DEVELOPMENT. THEY DON'T NECESSARILY DEVELOP THEIR OWN ENERGY. SO FOR EXAMPLE AN ENERGY COMPANY COME IN AND THEY'LL BUILD A GENERATING PLANT. GAS GENERATING PLANT DOESN'T GET BUILT LESS AS APS OR SOME OF THE DISTRICTS ARE HAVE AGREED. JUST THAT POWER ADVANTAGE WE HAVE A WEST IS PART OF THE WESTERN GRID. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL MAYBE 44 YEARS AGO IN TEXAS, SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE FREEZING. THEY HAD WINTERTIME. WELL, THAT HAPPENED HERE BECAUSE WE HAD MUCH LARGER SYSTEM. AND IN THE UNITED STATES, THERE ARE REALLY TWO GRID SYSTEMS, EXCUSE ME, THE EAST COAST, THE WEST COAST, AND THEN THERE'S TEXAS. TEXAS IS ITS OWN. SO PROBLEMS THAT THAT THEY RAN INTO. AS FAR AS OUR COUNTY IS IN. ONE OF THE REASONS YOU'RE SEEING A LOT OF MOVEMENT OF. AND SO TO THIS AREA IS WE ARE CONNECTED TO THAT SYSTEM. SO. AND WE HAVE SPACE. SO YOU'RE SEEING MOVEMENT OF, OF THOSE TYPES OF ENERGY COMING TO THE COUNTY. THE SOLAR, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE MOST RELIABLE IN TERMS OF ARIZONA AND LEAST EXPENSIVE AND THE MOST RENEWABLE. BUT IT TAKES UP SPACE. SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE. AND THEN BATTERY STORAGE THAT'S COMING ALONG WITH IT. NOW THAT EXTENDED FOR MORE HOURS OF OF ACTUAL AND OF COURSE NATURAL GAS. SOME OF THE

[00:10:07]

SORRY ABOUT I ERASE THAT. NO, THAT WAS VERY SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND AND YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT. AND WE CAN ENJOY THE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR PARTNERSHIPS AT THIS TIME.

I'M GONNA OPEN IT UP TO COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER BENSON. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION QUESTIONS. THE COPY. YOU GUYS HAVE A COPY OF THIS? YOU'RE WELCOME. CHECK WITH YOUR CLERK.

SHE. YEAH. WE HAVE. OKAY. OKAY, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. HOW MUCH OF THE ARIZONA SOLAR POWER IS SOLD HERE? ARIZONA VERSUS MOVING TO CALIFORNIA IS THE STATE. NO, IT'S A IT'S A GOOD SYSTEM. I WOULD SAY THAT NUMBER ONE IS PROBABLY MAYBE 10% OF THE TOTAL ENERGY IN ARIZONA IN

[00:15:12]

NEPAL AND THE BIG SOLAR FIELD 79. WHERE DOES THAT POWER. IS IT TO US? IS IT YOU KNOW, WHERE ONE OF. I'M SURE THE. IF IF IT ISN'T SR IT'S A. YEAH. THE OTHER CHALLENGE IS AND WE HAVE SEEN IS PINAL COUNTY SUPERVISORS ARE VOTING ON PROJECTS, SOLAR. SO HOW DO WE OVERCOME THAT FULLY THROUGH EDUCATION AND UNDERSTANDING, I, I THINK THERE'S SOME FACT THAT THEY BECAUSE OF WHERE THE SUN IS WANTED TO GO, NOT THAT THEIR SOLAR. IT'S JUST THE, THE PROJECT SCOPE AND THEY WANT TO BUILD IT. AND I THINK THAT'S BEEN MORE OF THE PROBLEM THAN THE FACT THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO SOLAR IN THE COUNTY BECAUSE, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALLOWED DOWN THE STANFIELD AREA, THEY VOTED FOR FOR SOMEWHERE TO GO IN THERE. THERE'S SOLAR SR IS PUTTING IN MAGNOLIA PLANT THERE, AND THAT'S COUNTY. SO THEY HAVEN'T REJECTED ALL OF IT.

THEY'VE PUSHED LIKE ON THE PROJECT, WHICH WAS A HUGE, HUGE PROJECT. I MEAN, IT'S THOUSANDS OF ACRES, RIGHT? IT WAS A DONATION OF SOLAR AND GAS AND A DATA CENTER. IT JUST WAS TOO BIG. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, COUNCIL MEMBER, THAT'S MY OPINION. GO. YEAH. MR. FOR THAT PRESENTATION, THIS IS REALLY BECAME BEFORE WE'RE STARTING ON DATA CENTER COMMITTEE. THE.

IT'LL HELP US TRYING TO EDUCATE PUBLIC ON WHAT'S NEEDED. SOME OF THE OTHER I HEARD WAS LIKE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. HEARD THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S LIKE APPROVED LIKE SOME OF THE LIKE USING TO POWER ACTUAL. YEAH. SMALL NUCLEAR REACTORS. YEAH. ACTUAL MILITARY.

HAVE YOU HEARD THE SAME THING? I HAVE? ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. SO AND I THINK P AND P S ARE GOING TO BE A BIG PART OF THAT. AND THEY THEY'RE A LITTLE. NERVOUS. BUT TO BE A LITTLE CAUTIOUS AND THEY WANT TO SEE THIS TECHNOLOGY GENERATED AND THEY WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WORKS BECAUSE THE SMALLER REACTOR IS IS SMALLER. YOU'VE GOT YOU'VE GOT A CENTER THAT MIGHT 300MW WITH SOME NUCLEAR SMALL REACTORS ARE ONLY 30, 30MW. SO IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL OF THOSE POWER ONE ONE DATA CENTER. SO THEY'RE NOT AS THEY'RE NOT ALL. I MEAN, THEY HAVE TO BE A COMBINATION OF THINGS. AND YOU I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY ATTENTION, BUT AS AN APS, R AND P ARE ALL OUT LOOKING FOR A NEW NUCLEAR POWER SITE, TALKING TO BIG LIKE COUNTY. SO THERE IS A COMBINATION AND A MOVEMENT OF THOSE THREE COMPANIES TO ACTUALLY DO A NEW SITING OF ANOTHER NUCLEAR PLANT. AND ONE OF THEM, BECAUSE ALREADY HAS TWO MORE PADS, WOULD ACTUALLY ADD TWO MORE PLANTS. THEY HAVE THREE NOW AND TWO MORE. THANK YOU. THIS IS GOING TO BE WATER ON THAT ONE. THAT'S WE'RE ALL FACED WITH THE CHALLENGE FOR FOR ALL OF US. COUNCIL MEMBER, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. OH. COUNCILMEMBER NARDO BACK ON. OH IT DIDN'T THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBERS. QUESTION. CHAIR. CURL. I'M SORRY. SURE.

IT'S IT'S OKAY. ACTUALLY ANSWERED ONE OF MY QUESTIONS. AND THAT WAS NUCLEAR. DO DO WE KNOW CAN YOU US IN A DIRECTOR ABOUT WHERE THAT USE OR IS IN USE AT ALL AT THIS NUCLEAR IS

[00:20:04]

THERE'S SOME SITES UP TO NOW. RIGHT. BUT AGAIN THEY'RE TEST SITES. THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S BEEN THAT AWARE OF ANYWAY THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION. OKAY. AND FINAL QUESTION, JUST HELP ME UNDERSTAND. I THINK I READ IN THE PRESENTATION THAT WE DID NOT FOR ARIZONA. CAN YOU JUST HELP US UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S NOT OR VERY THE SMALLER REACTORS, THE WIND, WIND WHEN YEAH, WE DON'T WIND LIKE NEKO DOES OR LIKE CALIFORNIA, INLAND EMPIRE, CALIFORNIA HAS HUGE AMOUNTS OF WIND GENERATION. IT DOESN'T. WE'RE PRIMARILY WE'RE JUST OH, WE DON'T HAVE THE ALTITUDE. AND YOU GET IN AND YOU'RE ABOUT 500FT. THERE'S A LOT MORE GENERATION. THEY'RE BUYING POWER FROM NEW MEXICO RIGHT NOW. IT IS BEING USED IN ARIZONA.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER. THANK YOU. THAT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION. HIGH LEVEL. HAVE YOU HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO TALK WITH A P SP TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, ARE THEY GOING TO THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS CLOSE GAP BETWEEN PEAK DEMAND AND CONTRACTS AND GENERATION.

BECAUSE I NOTICED ON ONE CHART 2026 ALREADY HAVE A GAP. AND I KNOW, I KNOW WE'RE ATTRACTED TO THE ENERGY COORDINATING COUNCIL, WHICH WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS ALL GENERATION ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. IT'S ALL IT'S ALL TIED TOGETHER. YOU HAVE THE WESTERN GRID BUSINESS THAT ARE DOING IT AS A BUSINESS. THEY SIT ON THE GRID, AND THE ONE THAT I ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT THAT WHEN THERE'S A. IN CANADA AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, THAT HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON THE ON THE WEST COAST. AND SO I KNOW APS AND SRP ARE KEENLY AWARE OF THAT. I'M SURE THEY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IN THEIR STRATEGY FOR HOW MUCH SELF-GENERATION IS BY. OVERHEAD. AND THEY THEY ARE CONSTANTLY WORKING. I MEAN, THEY GOT RFP AND REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FROM ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY. SO GENERATE SOME OF IT THEMSELVES. AND THEN THEY. FROM A LOT OF THE PRIVATE COMPANIES. AND SO, I MEAN, HOW ARE WE GOING TO COVER THE THE AMOUNT OF POWER OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS? THAT'S THE CHALLENGE. AND THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHY I'M HERE, IS TO RAISE THAT AWARENESS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A HUGE NEED OUT THERE AND THAT WE NEED AS A MUNICIPALITY, AS A GOVERNMENT, WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF IT. WE NEED TO DO IT RIGHT.

IT NEEDS TO GO IN THE RIGHT PLACE, AND IT NEEDS TO BE MANAGED. WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN THAT GET THE THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED. I JUST WANT TO DO A FOLLOW UP COMMENT. I ATTENDED THE G. FOR INSTANCE, THING THAT WAS AT THE WINDMILL HERE MONTHS AGO. YEAH, TWO MONTHS AGO. AND THE GENTLEMAN WHO'S A BIG COMMERCIAL PAPER OUT OF MY AREA OR SOMETHING THAT'S WORKED WITH A LOT OF THE MANUFACTURING PLANTS AND SO ON. AND HE MENTIONED THAT PINELLAS COUNTY IS RIGHT FOR MANUFACTURING, BUT YOU GOT TO HAVE THE POWER. AND IF YOU GUYS DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT GETTING THE. GOODYEAR AND CONTINUED SOLAR FIELDS AND ALL THAT TO ALL THAT MANUFACTURING THERE AREAS DOWN. SO THAT WAS A KEY ISSUE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER IN OUR COUNTY. WHAT IS NEEDED, CHIP FACTORIES, OTHER THINGS. RIGHT. THAT'S TRUE. WE. GREG AGAIN, NOT SEEING ANYONE ELSE AT ANY OTHER. THANKS AGAIN. GOOD TO SEE. AND I SEE YOU. PINELLAS GOLF TOURNAMENT. FRIDAY. FRIDAY. BRIGHT BRIGHT. EARLY. WE'RE GOING TO WIN. YES THANK YOU MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS AT THE TIME AND AND THE QUESTIONS YOU

[00:25:06]

ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR. GREAT. THANK THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I REMEMBER SEVEN IS OUR

[7. NEW BUSINESS]

I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE IT FOR YOU GUYS. WHILE YOU'RE THERE. THE CAPTIONING WASN'T WORKING BEFORE EITHER, SO IF YOU CAN CLICK THAT, PLEASE, YOU CAN DO THAT IN A SECOND. THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD. VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M GOING TO KICK THINGS OFF THIS EVENING. AARON WHO'S RUNNING, IS GOING TO COME DOWN AND JOIN ME AND THE WEBSITE A LITTLE BIT. AND SO I'M JUST GOING TO GO OFF HERE WITH A PRESENTATION. AND SO TONIGHT BUT MISTER WILL BE SHARING A DESIGN VIEW. OUR NEW WEBSITE AS WELL AS A WALKTHROUGH FOR OUR FORTHCOMING COMMUNITY CALENDAR THAT WILL BE LED BY OUR CUSTOMER SUCCESS MANAGER WITH BE WITH. HER NAME IS TAMAR. AS WE GO THROUGH THESE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK YOUR COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS AS WE. AND AS I MENTIONED TO THE WEBSITE, GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION. WHEN WE ARE PLANNING SOMETHING FOR THE TONE. OUR COLORS. THE FOUNDATION. SO THESE INCLUDE PRIMARY COLORS YOU SEE ON THE SEAL, THE TWO ORANGE AND YELLOW THERE, AS WELL AS SECONDARY PALETTES.

BLUE PALETTE SERVES AS A NATURAL CONTRAST TO OUR ORANGE AND DESERT HUES, WHICH COME HISTORIC CHARACTER AND LANDMARKS, AS WELL AS OUR DESERT SURROUNDING. SO TERMS OF HOW THE PALETTES ARE USED ON THE WEBSITE, WE DECIDED TO GO WITH OUR PALETTE FOR A REASON.

SO FIRST AND VISUAL PRESENTATION, WE FELT THE DESERT REALLY REPRESENTED WELL.

AND WE'LL GET INTO THE NEXT SLIDE A LITTLE BIT. INITIALLY, WHEN CONSIDERING THE OTHER PALETTE, WE FELT ORANGE PALETTE BE A LITTLE LOUD. USED AS A PRIMARY COLOR PALETTE, AND THEN THE BLUE PALETTE. WE WERE HESITANT TO GO THAT ROUTE BECAUSE CURRENT WEBSITE IS LARGELY BLUE. AND SO WE REALLY WANTED THAT, THAT CONTRAST THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. AND SO YOU SEE ON THE BOTTOM HERE, A QUICK LITTLE SHOT OF THIS PALETTE USE. SO WE HAVE OUR KIND OF BURNT TERRACOTTA SERVING AS A SUMMERY COLOR. AS YOU A MOMENT HOVER OVER THAT TURN WHITE AND YOU GET ORANGE OUTLINE HERE. AND THEN THE ORANGES BLUES ARE USED FOR ACCENT COLORS THROUGHOUT OUR WEBSITE. SO AS I WAS SAYING, IN TERMS OF REPRESENTATION, YOU KNOW, WE FELT OUR PALETTE REALLY DID THE VISUAL IDENTITY OF FLORIDA DRIVE THROUGH TOWN. YOU WILL SEE THESE COLORS ON TOWN COUNTY FACILITIES AS SIGNS BOTH OLD AND NEW. THAT'S THE PALETTE TO FOR OUR STORAGE, FOR EXAMPLE, AS IT FORMED WITH THE WALK DOWN SIGNAGE AND THE FLORENCE SIGN THAT PRECEDED THEM. SO HERE FOR WHAT WE'LL DO, ANOTHER. AARON WILL KIND OF SHOW YOU HOW THAT WILL HAS TRANSLATED IN CURRENT WEBSITE. OUR OPENING CHANGES THE COLORS LAYOUT, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE END. IDEALLY THAT WOULD BE ON TRACK IN TERMS OF COST AND DESIGN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE DO LOOK AT ESSENTIALLY DIFFERENT. THAT WOULD ACTUALLY DOLLARS AND TIME TO LAUNCH OF OUR WEBSITE. AND SO WE JUST WANT TO BE INNOCENT OF THAT. AND SO I'LL PASS IT OFF TO AARON HERE. AARON. EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL, SEE YOU DOWN HERE. SO AARON, SO AARON'S IN

[00:30:10]

DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY INPUT? OKAY. THANK YOU. SO A COUPLE THINGS AND I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. FIRST OF ALL, I LIKE IT. IT'S VERY DIFFERENT. BUT IN REVIEWING OF OTHER CITIES AND WEBSITES AND I LIKE THE FACT THAT IT LOOKS NOW I WON'T GET IN TO BRANDING MY. AND WE'VE. THOSE THAT HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE BRAND OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS KNOW WE'RE GETTING BRANDING BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE BRANDING. WE'RE GOING TO UTILIZE THE BRANDING ALREADY GOT. I'M GOOD WITH COLORS. I THINK REPRESENTS. AND THIS IS ME SPEAKING AGAIN ON THE COUNCIL. IF YOU GO BACK TO THE HOME PAGE AND SO MANY OF THESE.

SO THE BOXES, THE LINKS, THE JOB COUNCIL. SO WE HAVE CONTROL 100% BEING ABLE TO CHANGE THOSE, WHATEVER, WE DON'T GO THROUGH ANOTHER PROCESS, ANOTHER COMPANY TO DO IT. WE AS A TOWN HAVE CONTROL OVER THIS WEBSITE. SO ONCE THE INITIAL DESIGN DONE AND WE'RE TRAINED HOW GRANICUS DOES OUR PLATFORM, WE GIVEN THE TOOLS THAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO.

AS OF NOW WITH THE WEBSITE TO CHANGE COLORS, CHANGE, WE CHANGE DESIGNS. THEY WILL JUST GIVE A SMALL LIBRARY TO BEGIN WITH, AND WE GROW DIFFERENT ITEMS. THEN WE MAY FIND OUR OWN EYE FOR WIDGETS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART SET US UP FOR SUCCESS. BEGIN WITH THAT WE DESIGN. OKAY AND SO PICTURES ARE EASY, UPDATED. WE CONSTANTLY UPDATE PICTURES AND KEEP CREATIVE. YES, AS YOU HEAR, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'LL BE DOING THIS PICTURE, EVERY TIME YOU LOG INTO THE WEBSITE, IT'LL PULL FROM DIFFERENT POOL SO IT WON'T BE THE SAME PICTURE EVERY SINGLE TIME. IT'LL A ROTATING PICTURES OF WE PUT INTO THIS FOLDER. IT'S NOT THE THIS PICTURE EVERY TIME YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE, BUT FIRST TIME YOU GO THAT DAY, IT'LL BE THAT PICTURE. OKAY, GREAT. COUNCIL MEMBER BUCKNER. THANKS, AARON. A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. EXPLAIN HOW YOU

[00:35:05]

THAT I WANT AND CLICK THAT BUTTON, OR IT NEEDS TO BE. SOMETHING THAT'S MORE PROMINENT CAN MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT LIKE HAVE A PLACEHOLDER AND WE PUT THAT INFORMATION THERE DEPENDING ON THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT WE GIVE TO THE PUBLIC. WILL WIDGETS HERE, AS WELL AS OUR PLACEHOLDERS UP HERE. THIS EXAMPLE OF THE MENU AS WELL AS WE CAN HIGHLIGHT INSIDE NEW CERTAIN ITEMS THAT WE NEED TO SEE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN TASKS LIKE THAT. SO THE NAVIGATION HASN'T BEEN CREATED YET AND BE CREATED ON ANALYTICS THAT WE PULLED FROM OUR OLD SITE AND HOW PEOPLE WERE USING AND WHAT PAGES ARE GOING TO THAT WILL HELP US BUILD THE LITIGATION.

ONCE WE FINISHED WITH THIS, I ALSO LOVE THE COLOR SCHEME. I THINK IT'S FLORENCE, THE ONE THING I WOULD ASK YOU ABOUT THESE DIFFERENT PHOTOS SCROLLING DEPENDING UPON, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU PULL IT UP, I'VE SEEN SOME SITES THAT HAVE GIVE THE USER THE OPTION. YOU GOT THE LITTLE ON EACH SIDE, YOU KIND OF MANUALLY GO THROUGH IT A WAY TO VISUALLY SEE LEARN MORE FLORENCE PICTURES AT DESIGN STAGE. THEY CHOSE, WE CHOSE NOT TO HAVE IT BE A ROTATING LIKE CURRENT WEBSITE. IF YOU WROTE INTO SOME OF THE LIKE THE POLICE OR OTHER PAGES, IT'S A, A SLIDER THAT JUST CONTINUES TO SLIDE. WE DECIDED TO ALLOW A PAGE CHANGE TIME.

YOU GO THAT WAY. PICTURES DON'T BECOME STAGNANT. WE WILL, OF COURSE PULL VIBRANT AND NEW.

BUT I MEAN, IT DEPENDS ON THE PICTURES WE HAVE. SO WE HAVE A SCROLL SLIDER THAT COULD BE A SET PICTURE EVERY TIME YOU. OKAY. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I WAS ONE OF THE THINGS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS KIND OF IN MY MIND IS THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO USE ANALYTICS, TELL WE NEED TO PUT IN OUR WIDGETS WHAT WE CAN BEAR, BUT NOT BEAR. THAT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE, WE'RE THAT WE CAN THAT'S SOMEWHERE ELSE IN ANOTHER AREA.

DEFINITELY HELP US REACH THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT THE PUBLIC SEEKING TO FIND THAT WE CAN MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR THEM, INSTEAD OF PUTTING WHAT WE THINK IS IMPORTANT OR WHAT NEEDS TO BE THERE. AND WE'RE KNOWING THAT THE PUBLIC IS COMING CERTAIN AGES AND CERTAIN LINKS, TRYING TO FIND INFORMATION. AND SOMETIMES WE JUST A LITTLE BIT CLICKS AWAY THAT THEY GET FRUSTRATED. SO WITH THE ANALYTICS THAT WE HAVE, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT INFORMATION MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR AND LESS, WHICH IS MAKES IT MORE ENJOYABLE FOR ANYBODY. YOU DON'T WANT TO SIT THERE FIVE TIMES TO SOMETHING YOU DO OVER THREE TIMES. SO THAT'S THE GOAL OF PROVIDING INFORMATION. GREAT MAYOR. I ALSO WAS GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AS COUNCIL MEMBER BUCK. OUR COMMISSIONS ARE VERY DIFFERENT. SO I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE UP TO VOLUNTEER, LOOK TO SEE WHEN THE MEETINGS ARE A BIG THING THAT FROM A PUBLIC COUPLE TIMES IS THE CALENDAR FOR THE CALENDAR INTERACTIVE TO BE ACCESSIBLE. SO THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY SOMETHING NICE THAT WHETHER IT'S A PLACEHOLDER AT THE CALENDAR AND IT'S DOWN A BIT MORE, BUT FIRST THING THEY SEE IT COULD JUST, I JUST DIDN'T JUST DIDN'T WANT TO JUST PRESENT. OH SORRY, JEFF. HE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT CALENDAR HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. SO YEAH, I JUST LIKE THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ARE ARE IMPORTANT. OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE A HUGE PART OF OUR AGENCY. SO TO BE ABLE TO GET TO A LONG CALENDAR, DEFINITELY ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE DOING IN THIS WEBSITE IS WITH THE COMMISSIONS, MAKING IT A LITTLE BIT MORE ACCESSIBLE WITH THE VIDEO AND WITH THE THERE AT THE SAME TIME. SO AS WE MOVE TO THIS NEW WEBSITE, THAT FUNCTIONALITY THERE FOR CITIZENS TO, TO SCROLL THROUGH AN AGENDA AND BE ABLE TO CLICK IN, THEY WON'T HAVE TO YOUTUBE TO SEE THE VIDEO AND THEN HAVE THE AGENDA SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO WE DEFINITELY ARE CONCENTRATING ON MAKING THINGS EASIER FOR PUBLIC TO ACCESS. IT LOOKS. AND

[00:40:06]

AND I AGREE WITH WITH ALL THE COUNCILORS AND VICE MAYOR OPINION TODAY IS FANTASTIC. SO FAR WHAT WE HAVE, YOU HAVE TO BE HAPPY WITH IT. SO I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT CONTINUALLY DEVELOPED AND THEN SEE WHAT HAS TO SAY. HOPEFULLY THERE'S A WAY WHERE WE CAN HAVE EVENT PICTURES OF PAST EVENTS AND STUFF. IF YOU'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THAT CAN EASILY JUST SCROLL THROUGH THE EVENTS OF THE PAST AND SEE WHAT GOES ON TOWN. BUT SO FAR, GOOD JOB.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NO OTHER QUESTIONS. I'LL TURN THE CALL OVER TO JEFF. OKAY, AARON.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. ALL RIGHT. LET'S SEE, I NEED. I MENTIONED WE HAVE TAMARA WITH US. HER SHARE SCREEN. LET'S SEE HOW TO DO THAT. I THINK WE HAVE IT HERE. OKAY. AND SO SHE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A WALK THROUGH A NEW COMMUNITY CALENDAR. AS I MENTIONED IN THE FTA, WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS A GOAL DATE NEAR THE END OF THE MONTH. SO WE'RE FOR OUR EVENT SEASON, OCTOBER. SO SHE IS GOING TO GO THROUGH FEATURES AND WHAT THE ORDER WILL LOOK LIKE FOR A BRAND NEW YEAR AND ACCESSING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME, WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS IT WILL ASK, AND THE NAVIGATION PAGES WE HAVE. SO WITH THAT I'LL PASS IT OFF. GOOD EVENING TAMARA.

EVENING AND AND COUNCIL CAN HEAR ME? YES. PERFECT. MY NAME IS WAS PRESENTED AND I PRESENT THE CALENDAR TO YOU TODAY. SAY THE PLAN IS THIS FOR THE NEW WEBSITE WILL BE LAUNCHED AND IT WILL BE TRANSFORMED WITH THE NEW WEBSITE. THIS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE CURRENT AND THE NEW ONE. JEFF, ARE WORKING ON. BEFORE WE PRESENT A PLATFORM TO YOU, HOW IT LOOKS AND TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE PLATFORM COMPONENTS, OUR PLATFORM IS A CALENDAR. THE REST OF THIS IS TO A CENTRAL CALENDAR TO THE TOWN WARRANTS TO HAVE EVERYTHING IN PLACE.

OUR. THEN IT HAS A DIFFERENT FEATURE CAPABILITY. SO FIRST COMPONENT IS WHAT WE CALL A COMMUNITY HUB. THAT'S THE CALENDAR FRONT FACING COMPONENT WHERE RESIDENTS SEE ALL EVENTS CAN UPLOAD. THE DEPARTMENT PUTS THEIR OWN PUBLISHED. THE RESIDENTS. AND WE HAVE THE OPTION FOR. TOWN ORGANIZATIONS, LET'S SAY LINE HUB OR THE HUB FOR. ALSO UPLOAD EVENTS CALENDAR THAT ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. AND THOSE EVENTS GO THROUGH A APPROVAL. SO DON'T BE THE ISN'T OPEN, NOT ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO UPLOAD EVENTS TOWN'S CALENDAR. BUT WE DO WANT TO BRING US MORE TO THE COMMUNITY RIGHT HERE HAPPENING AND NOT ONLY WHAT THE TOWN IS OPEN TO RESIDENTS. SECOND COMPONENT IS REGISTRATION IMPROVEMENTS. WE HAVE ROBUST REGISTRATION IMPROVEMENTS. COMPONENT YOU CAN CREATE JUST RSVP, YOU KNOW, A HEADCOUNT. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE RUNNING THE EVENT, HOW MANY CHAIRS PUT DOWN OR EVEN CREATE A PAGE, AN ANNUAL EVENT OR DONATION. I KNOW THE TOWN PLANNING WITH OUR DEPARTMENT. SO WHAT'S THE SECOND COMPONENT TO FORM READY TOWN TO USE? BUT UP TO THE DISCRETION? THIS IS REALLY A THE TOWN SIDE WHEN WANT TO OPEN THIS CAPABILITY UP AND WHICH EVENTS. THE THIRD COMPONENT COMMUNITY ASSISTANT REGISTRATIONS ARE ENABLED ON FORM EVEN FOR TOWN COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR ANNUAL EVENTS.

COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE KICKS IN AND AUTOMATED MESSAGES TO REGISTER WITH ALL THE INFORMATION THEY NEED ABOUT THE EVENT. SO DATE, TIME AND LOCATION AND ALSO SEND

[00:45:04]

SO THAT'S KIND OF CONNECTING THE DOTS. NEW WEBSITE DATA. WE CONTINUE WORKING ON AND JEFF AND WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THIS AND CREATE REPORTS FOR YOU. ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. IF I'M NOT ASKED TO JOIN A COUNCIL MEETING, I STOP HERE FOR QUESTIONS OR CONTINUE WITH MY PRESENTATION AND LEAVE QUESTIONS. AT THE END. I GUESS I CAN ASK COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF THE. IF IT'S ALL RIGHT, LET'S FINISH, LET'S FINISH. WE WILL ASK QUESTIONS AT THE END OF. NOW I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE ON THE. WEBSITE. SO WE ARE LOOKING AT. YOU CAN START MY SCREEN RIGHT I THINK NOT. I WILL SHARE IN. OKAY.

THIS IS THE CURRENT TOWN'S CALENDAR. CAN YOU SEE MY. IT HAS BLACK RIGHT NOW. LET'S SEE.

SO LET'S LOOK AGAIN. IS IT POSSIBLE TO APPROVE IT? OH, THERE WE GO. SO WHEN YOU SCROLL ON THE TOWN'S UNDER YOU. THIS COMPONENT OF THE CURRENT CALENDAR. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO REPLACE A QUICK GLIMPSE OF WOULD LOOK LIKE WAS LAUNCHED IS OUR WE'RE SITTING ON A BACK PAGE TOWN'S CALENDAR CURRENTLY. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN IT WOULD BE LAUNCH PUBLIC ON THE TOWN'S CALENDAR. YOU SEE THAT I, AS A RESIDENT, CAN SCROLL THROUGH HERE TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING NEXT MONTH. I CAN EVEN AFTER OUT QUICKLY TO JUST THE THREE OF US. AND I DON'T HAVE TO BE REDIRECTED TO OUR PLATFORM WITH PLATFORMS IN ORDER TO QUICKLY HAVE A LAPSE OF WHAT'S LOOKING OR WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE TOWN. IF I WANT TO SEE ALL THE EVENTS, I WILL GO TO ALL EVENTS. I'LL BE REDIRECTED TO THE PLATFORM. PRESENTING ALL THE EVENTS ON OR

[00:50:07]

WILL EVENTUALLY BE POPULATED AUTOMATICALLY OR AVOIDING OR MANUAL OR TOWN STUFF. THIS IS STILL REDIRECTING RESIDENTS TO REC AND COMPLETE THE RESTORATION OF THIS. SO IT'S CENTRALIZED, MAKING SURE RESIDENTS HAVE A ONE STOP SHOP TO SOMETHING THEY ARE LOOKING FOR, STILL HELP THEM IN ACCESS WHERE THEY NEED TO GO IN ORDER TO COMPLETE REGISTRATION. A FORMER NOTES MEANS RESIDENTS CAN USE THE SEARCH TO EASILY FIND LOOKING FOR. I KNOW I'M LOOKING FOR THE BEST. IT. I'M IN THE. ARE. WE DON'T HAVE A FIGHT YET. IS LOOKING FOR THE BEST. IT FOUND THE BEST AND I CAN ACTUALLY GO INTO EVENT PAGE AND SEE ALL THE INFORMATION AND THE EVENT DESCRIPTION. YOU EVEN SEE THAT OR THE CAPABILITY ADDING SPONSORS, RIGHT? SO IF THE TOWN SPONSORS THE CAN EASILY THOSE. ANOTHER ABILITY WITH LET'S SEE HOW IT WORKS.

TEST. A SYSTEM I'M PRESENTING TO YOU. SO. DECIDED TO BRING SHOPPERS UP WITH A HERO WITH A BOW OF HEROES AND GO TOGETHER. THE LOGICAL I. THIS IS ANOTHER FEATURE THAT IS FOR RESIDENTS SO I CAN SEARCH FOR FAMILY AND SO MORE FRIENDLY TO LOOK FOR. AND I. SEARCH THIS. IT BRINGS ALL THE EVENTS UP ON THE MAP AROUND THE TOWN AND. AND HAVE A QUICK GLIMPSE OF THE EVENT ITSELF OR TO THE FULL EVENT, WHICH IS THE EVENT PAGE THAT I PRESENTED TO YOU. SO JUST A QUICK WAY FOR RESIDENTS TO FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. WE ALSO HAVE THE OPTION OF A TAB.

SO IF THEY DON'T WANT TO TYPE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO FIND FOR ADULTS OR FOR CHILDREN, THIS IS FILTERING IT OUT AND FINDING WHAT THEY WANT TO ENJOY. APART FROM SENSITIZING EVENTS WITH COMMUNITY THIS IS FROM CIVIC. WE'RE ALSO WORKING IN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EVENTS OF BERKELEY.

SO WE'LL PRESS ON THAT CONNECTOR. I'LL BE DIRECTED TO A PAGE WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS COMING IN FROM CHINA. AND AGAIN, WITH ZERO WORK FROM US AFTER CONNECTED THIS. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT JEFF AND THE TEAM DIDN'T PART ON BRINGING THIS TO PRODUCTION, BUT IT'S LIVE UPDATES EVERY FOUR HOURS OR AGAIN, DEPENDING ON. WHAT CUSTOMIZED POLL. SO THE EVENTS CAN YOU LIVE IN? THE SOURCE OF TRUTH IS ON THE WEBSITE, CIVIC SITES. WE'RE JUST BRINGING EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE. RESIDENTS. OF SEVERAL CAPABILITIES RELATED TO A CREATION EVENT MANAGEMENT. WE CREATE RECURRING EVENTS. SHARED A LITTLE ABOUT THE NOTIFICATION SETTINGS STACK AND CREATE AUTOMATED PATIENTS THAT ARE BEING SENT TO ADVANCE OR. I GAVE YOU A GLIMPSE OF THE PROMOTION MANAGEMENT, HOW IT LOOKS LIKE ON AN EVENT PAGE. IF YOU HAVE A RESPONSE FOR AN EVENT. IF TOWN IS OPEN REGISTRATION. WE ALSO HAVE LISTS AND STAFF CAN MANAGE THE ATTENDEE LIST THROUGH THE WEB PAGES FOR THROUGH THE LAST. NOT

[00:55:07]

BUT NOT ONLY THAT, YOU CAN ALSO JUST CREATE A QR CODE OR A URL, SEND IT OUT TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE EVENT, BUT NOT NECESSARILY JOINED IT AND JUST PUT A FLIER AT THE EXIT OF THE EVENT AND HAVE A QR CODE AND FILL THE FEEDBACK FORM. I THINK THAT THOSE ARE THE MAJOR CAPABILITIES THAT WE WANTED TODAY IN THE TOP OF YOUR I MISS ANYTHING, CAN WE SHOP WITH THE HERO AND THE DONATE THE DONATE FEATURE? BRIEFLY? NO. OF COURSE. SO TAMARA MENTIONED WITH THE CONNECTIVITY AND EVENTS. SO WE CAN JUST FOR HOME TOURS OR MAKE EVERYTHING STOP SHOP. AND THEN WE COULD ALSO USE STATE OF THE TOWN JUST TO TICKETED REGISTRATION. WE USED TO DO THAT IN EVENTBRITE OR OTHER SYSTEM, AND IT'S REALLY BRINGING EVERYTHING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE HERE. AND SO AS WITH AS I WAS MENTIONING, SHOP WITH THE HERO EVENT, IT HAS A DONATE AND WE SET UP A MINIMUM DONATION OF $5. AS SOON AS YOU CLICK, YOU ARE BROUGHT TO A SCREEN AND HAVE 15 MINUTES TO COMPLETE YOUR PURCHASE. SO EVERYTHING TOGETHER IN ONE LOCATION THERE SO IT'S CONVENIENT. WE'RE NOT SENDING PEOPLE USING DIFFERENT WEBSITES, MESSAGING WHERE THEY'RE PAYING FOR THEIR TICKETS, YOU KNOW, ONE YEAR VERSUS ANOTHER. IT CAN REMAIN CONSISTENT PLATFORM. AND AS I MENTIONED THIS, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY LAUNCHED THIS AS A TOOL TO ADDRESS THE DEFICIENCIES WE HAD WITH OUR TOWN COUNCIL. BUT THEY IN TERMS OF THE FEATURES THEY ARE ROLLING, THEY'RE REALLY MAKING A ROBUST COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLATFORM. SHE EVEN MENTIONED THAT THEY ARE AUTOMATED NOTIFICATION SYSTEM, LOOKING AT SETTING UP NOTIFICATIONS COULD, FOR EXAMPLE, NOT SEE TEXT MESSAGES TO. OUR EMERGENCY MESSAGES WE SEND OUT RIGHT NOW WITH A NON-EMERGENCY POTENTIALLY THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND SEND PUSH TEXT NOTIFICATIONS TO OUR AGENTS. AND SO IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY WEEK OR EVERY MONTH, THERE ARE A NEW FEATURE WITH THEIR FEATURE BEING ENOUGH WHERE WE CAN HAVE THE EVENT FEATURE SERVE ALL ENCAPSULATED IN ON THIS PLATFORM. I THINK THOSE ARE THE MAJOR FEATURES. MAYBE I THINK TAMARA IS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE A NEW USER. AND SO WHEN PEOPLE FIRST REGISTERING THIS SYSTEM, THEY ASKED, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS YOUR GROUP? WHAT KIND OF THINGS ARE YOU INTERESTED IN? WAY I MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING, WE ARE BUILDING A DATABASE AND BUILDING UPON APPLICATION SURVEY LAST YEAR IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING OUR AUDIENCE. IF FOLKS ARE INTERESTED IN AND WHAT THEY ARE ENGAGING WITH ON ARE IN TERMS OF OUR. TRYING TO SHARE AGAIN TO THE FLOW. USER. AND SO I THINK, I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A. NOW WE CAN WE CAN TALK THROUGH IT. BUT YEAH, THE FIRST SIGN UP, IT'LL ASK YOU EVENTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN. WHAT PART OF TOWN IN YOUR AGE AND SO FORTH. SO WE COULD REALLY BUILD A CUSTOMIZABLE PROFILE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL. AND THEN WE CAN UPDATE REGARDING THOSE TYPES OF EVENTS IN THE FUTURE. ALL RIGHT. JEFF. AND AARON, THANK YOU FROM OUR APPRECIATE THAT IT ACTUALLY, FOR ME, IT EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS A LITTLE BIT ON.

BUT THE THE MAIN QUESTION WILL REMAIN. ONLY WORKS IF WE MAINTAIN IT. WE PUT STUFF IN IT, TAKE STUFF OUT. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT? IT IS. IT IS CLEAR PEOPLE THAT SHARE THAT THIS IS PART OF THE JOB. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE A DIFFERENT JOBS, BUT I'M THINKING YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. BUT, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT THAT WE HAVE IS JUST SOME OF THE INFORMATION. NOT ONLY ARE THEY ACCESSING IS FANTASTIC BECAUSE BEING ABLE TO REGISTER, NOT GO INTO COMMUNITY SERVICES, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SOMEBODY ELSE TO REGISTER.

[01:00:03]

OF COURSE, THEY CAN GO AND CREATE THEIR OWN ALL DAY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A NETWORK OF INFORMATION SHARING GOING ON IN THE TOWN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING UP ON THOSE. AND SO THROUGH. DIRECTLY ACCESS THIS WEBSITE TO EVENTS AS WELL AS COMMUNICATIONS, TEACHER AND MEETING, WE'RE GOING TO USE THIS DAYS. AND THEN ONE OTHER THING THAT I HAVE, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO COUNCIL. SO I REALIZED THAT WE ABOUT THIS LAST TIME WE STARTED THIS PROCESS. AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT RESTAURANT, DIFFERENT BAR, DIFFERENT BEING PUT STUFF ON. AND I KNOW THAT THAT I THINK WE'VE DECIDED THAT THAT GETS A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT MUCH. CAN WE, BECAUSE WE CONTINUE TO TEACH ABOUT OUR LIVE MUSIC, CAN WE ON AN AREA LIVE MUSIC. AND THEN WE PUT IN FOR THEM. VERY EASY TO FOLLOW FACEBOOK. WHAT'S AT THE WINDMILL ON THURSDAY, FRIDAY. SATURDAY, SUNDAY. CAN YOU PUT THAT STUFF ON SPECIFICALLY FOR MUSIC? ABSOLUTELY AND CORRECT OR ADD ON TO ANYTHING I HAVE TO SAY.

BUT THOSE. YES. THE SHORT ANSWER IS WE CAN CREATE ADDITIONAL. SO THAT BUTTON SERVICES. THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL A HUB SYSTEM AND CREATE ADDITIONAL DIFFERENCE IS THOSE FIRST TWO HUBS ARE RELATED. THEY'RE PULLING FROM EXISTING SYSTEMS IN CALENDAR THAT THAT LIVE MUSIC HUB, SOMETHING THAT WE COULD MAINTAIN OURSELVES AND CREATE A TAG FOR ALL THOSE TYPES OF EVENTS, SEARCH FOR LIFE AND THAT BECOME ONE OF THE HUBS PLATFORM. OKAY. AND THEN I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE A LITTLE BIT, WOULD YOU EVER GET TO A POINT WHERE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO. SAY. A SPOT ON THESE CALENDARS, TWO PEOPLE, RESTAURANTS OR WHOEVER WOULD WANT TO? I MEAN, IS THAT THE DIRECTION OF IT? I THINK SOME WORK TO GET DONE FIRST AND AND WORK SOMETHING OUT. BUT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK AT? ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT THING THAT DEPUTY MANAGER LISA BROUGHT UP IN TERMS OF EXACTLY THAT, LOOKING AT THIS IN TERMS OF A SMALL REVENUE GENERATING OPPORTUNITY, ESPECIALLY FOR PROFIT, YOU KNOW, COMMERCIAL EVENTS, SPEAKING WITH TAMARA, THAT IS NOT, I WOULD SAY, A FORMAL IN THE SYSTEM. SHE WORKING WITH HER TEAM WHO FABULOUS CREATED A PROCESS FOR US THAT IF WE WORKED ON IN TERMS OF WHAT WE WANT TO CHANGE, OUR POLICIES AND SO FORTH, IS A WAY TO DO THAT WITHIN THE SYSTEM AS IT IS TODAY. SO THAT'S SOMETHING DEFINITELY LOOK AT COMING OUT. WE WANT TO CREATE THAT HUB FOR FOR BUSINESS TYPE LIVE MUSIC TYPE OF OKAY, AWESOME. COUNCIL MEMBER. SO JEFF, ABOUT USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO SOCIAL MEDIA. SO ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAMPLE IF WE SAY, OKAY, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO POST ON FACEBOOK HERE THAT'S GOING ON THIS WEEK OR TWO OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. SO WE DON'T TOTALLY RELY UPON PEOPLE COMING AND LOG TO OUR WEBSITE, BUT WE ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO PUSH OUT AND COMMUNICATE MORE BROADLY TO GET PEOPLE TO SIGN UP AND COME TO COME TO OUR WEBSITE. IS THAT THING IN THE CARDS? YES. I THINK THAT FUNCTIONALITY RIGHT NOW, SO WE, ANY OF THE EVENTS THAT LIVE IN THIS PLATFORM, SHARE THEM TO EXTERNAL RESOURCE SITES. QUESTION I HAD IS WHEN SHE WAS MENTIONING SOMEONE COULD ACT TO COMMUNICATE TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT

[01:05:03]

YEAH. IF I COULD BRIEFLY MENTION IT HAS. IN ADDITION, PEOPLE RELATIONSHIP MANAGER AS A SPONSOR RELATIONSHIP. SO WE CAN HAVE ALL SPONSORS. ONE BASE THAT WE CAN ALL HAS THIS THING FOR VENDORS. SO IF KYLE WITH EVENTS EMAIL ALL OF OUR VENDORS. HEY, WHO WANTS TO TO JULY, WE CAN AS WELL. WE DON'T HAVE VERY LISTS IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS OF ONE SOURCE OF TRUTH. ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMAN DONATO, MAYOR, WE ANSWERED TWO QUESTIONS ON THE FEEDBACK. THAT WAS GREAT.

AND THEN MY QUESTION ON SPONSOR PART BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT NETWORKING, BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WHEN I WAS A LIAISON CHAMBER, IT'S, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT THE WORKING PART OF THIS. THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE IT BRINGS IT TOGETHER, TIES IT ALL, ALL IN ALL TOGETHER. SO FOR THE HISTORICAL, LIKE, LET'S SAY I WENT TO THE CHARLES RODEO. WELL, THIS NO SAY, HEY, LOOK, THERE'S AN EVENT COMING UP AND IN CASE I FORGET TO LOCK, I KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE EVENT LIKE IN. IS THAT SOMETHING WE WE CAN ADD INTO THAT? I WOULD IMAGINE IF SOMEONE REGISTERS FOR AN EVENT, DOES INFORMATION, I GUESS STAY WITH THE FILE. SO THE REGISTRATION. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. SO CURRENTLY THE SYSTEM ONLY KNOWS WHAT YOU REGISTERED, BUT IT WON'T AUTOMATICALLY KNOW TO INVITE YOUR FUTURE EVENTS LIKE WE ARE WORKING TO NOTIFY ME THAT WILL BE RELEASED SOON AND THEN ONCE CHOOSE TO BE NOTIFIED ON TOPICS, THE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY WILL UPDATE RESIDENTS ON TOPICS WHEN NEW EVENTS ARE PUBLISHED. OKAY. THANK YOU TAMARA. ALL RIGHT.

COUNCIL. TINA, WELCOME. I'M VERY IMPRESSED. YES, THIS IS EXCITING. ALL I WANT TO ASK IS, WILL THE DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES HAVE ITS OWN PAGE ON THE WEBSITE? I ASSUME THE ANSWER IS YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND MAYBE BEFORE YOU GET TO THE NEXT QUESTION, SOMETHING THAT I DID WANT TO IN SHARED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CALENDARS ON THE SITE. WE HAVE A CAPABILITY TO CREATE WIDGETS. THEY JUST A COUNCIL MEETING, JUST A WIDGET, YOU TELL ME, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

AND THOSE WIDGETS, THOSE DESIGNATED THE TOWN'S WEBSITE, THEN RESIDENTS GO TO THAT SPECIFIC WEBSITE. THE ONLY THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED. OKAY, COUNCIL MEMBER, I JUST WANTED TO OFFER MY SUPPORT. AS I SAID, COUNCIL MEMBERS, IT REALLY LOOKS GOOD WORK HERE. JEFF AND AND AARON AND OTHERS. I DO HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH. WE'RE WE'RE IN STAGES. WHAT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE TIMELINE TO GO LIVE WITH THIS WITH THIS WEBSITE, I WOULD WE'RE IN A POSITION TO LAUNCH IN APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS, AND WE CAN RELY ON OUR EXISTING SITE THROUGH A WIDGET FUNCTIONALITY AT THE OUTSET. THIS CAN REPLACE OUR CALENDAR. AND HER TEAM TOOK ALL THE EVENTS CALENDAR THROUGH THE END OF AN ALREADY LOADED INTO CALENDAR. SO IN THIS CASE, WHEN YOU CLICK CALENDAR UP, RIGHT THERE IS WHAT YOU CAN SEE IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS. AND SO THE,

[01:10:08]

YOU ABOUT THAT? I KNOW WE HAVE SOME OTHER OF OUR CITIZENS THAT WILL BE REVIEWING THE CALENDAR PORTION ALSO, AND WE APPRECIATE THAT. FORWARD TO YOU GUYS COMING UP WITH US. SO GOOD.

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2008-26. RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF PINAL COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN OF FLORENCE AND THE TOWN AND VALLEY FOR LIMITED MUNICIPAL COURT SERVICES, AUTHORIZING THEM TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT ARISING. THE TOWN TOWN TAKES ACTIONS AS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE AGREEMENT. SO. GOOD EVENING. HAVE A VALDEZ EVENING. YOUR HONOR, I ALWAYS FEEL WEIRD IN YOUR CHAIR WHEN YOU'RE HERE IN OFF IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. IT FEELS WEIRD. YOU WANT ME TO SWITCH? THERE'S NO QUICK. IT FEELS WEIRD STANDING HERE SINCE I WAS UP THERE EARLIER. WELL, MAYBE IT'S. MAYBE MY CHAIR. YOU'RE IT. CHAIR. SO I JUST USE IT A COUPLE DAYS A WEEK. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU. I JUST WANT TO SAY, I THINK I'VE BEEN BEFORE THIS COUNCIL MORE THIS YEAR THAN I HAVE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS COMBINED. SO THAT IS JUST A SIGN OF WHERE FLORENCE IS GOING.

THIS IS REALLY MOVING, AND I THINK THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FLORENCE TO TAKE A STEP AHEAD. AS YOU KNOW, WHENEVER US ARE ESTABLISHED, THEY ESTABLISH KIND OF A COURT SYSTEM TO HANDLE ANY CASES THAT THEY HAVE. THE JUSTICE COURTS DO HANDLE MUNICIPAL CASES, SPECIFICALLY COMPLIANCE CASES, JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY NORMALLY DO. THAT IS WHERE THIS IS JUST PERFECT FIT FOR THAT. IT GIVES THE CITY OF SANTA AN OPPORTUNITY TO LAY DOWN WORK FOR WHAT WE NEED TO DO. I THINK OF THIS AS ANY TIME WE START A BUILDING PROJECT, YOU'VE GOT TO PUT IN THE GROUNDWORK UTILITIES. I THINK BEFORE WE CAN START DOING ANY OF THE OTHER REAL BUILDING. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE OUR TOWN IS. THEY'RE TRYING TO ESTABLISH THAT THEY CAN OPERATE THEIR COMMUNITY WHILE THEY START BUILDING, AND IS GOING TO GIVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY. WE ANTICIPATE IT TO BE A LOT OF CASES THROUGH THE LAST THE ONLY ABOUT EIGHT ORDINANCES RIGHT NOW ON THE BOOKS. AND AS OF NOW, I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE A CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER TO BE OUT ISSUING CITATIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE GROW INTO, BUT I THINK THAT IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO HELP THEIR NEIGHBOR. AND IT'S FOR THEM TO ABLE TO ESTABLISH AND FOLLOW THE LAWS THEY NEED TO FOLLOW AS THEY MOVE FORWARD.

AND I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL BE THE TOWN OF FLORENCE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I KNOW THAT YOURSELF, WINGO, OUR INTERIM TOWN MANAGER, THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A WHILE, WORKING WITH WARRENTON. AND IN YOUR RIGHT IS WHAT WE ARE GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THEM. SO DOES COUNCIL HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE ANY OF OUR TEAM MEMBER? BUCKNER. YEAH. GOOD EVENING. JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS I'M GOING THROUGH. I NOTICED A COUPLE OF THINGS WAS THERE WERE A LOT OF CALLS THAT WERE NOT SPECIFIED. IT'S KIND OF LIKE UP TO THE PARTIES AGREE ON THE WHAT THE COST WOULD BE FOR, FOR CERTAIN SERVICES. AND ALSO THE, I NOTICED THE ANNUAL FEE WAS THE SAME OVER A FIVE YEAR PERIOD. WHAT WAS YOUR WHAT WAS THE THINKING ABOUT ESCALATION LIKE THAT? AND. SO WHEN WE BEEN LOOKING AT THE ONE THING THE JUDGE DID NOT SAY IS MOST OF THEIR COMMUNITIES ARE IN A, A AREA AS WELL. SO YOU THINK ABOUT CODE FORCEMENT INSIDE OF AN H. OH, VERY DIFFERENT. WHAT WE DID, WE WANTED TO GO IN WITH A A RESERVE RIGHT FOR YOU TO OUR COURT. AND THAT'S THE FEE. THERE WERE, THERE IS NO COURT CASE, BUT BECAUSE HERE WE'RE

[01:15:07]

SO WE CAME UP WITH WHAT WE BELIEVE IS MORE ANNUALLY. AND AGAIN, THAT BE THAT DOWN THE ROAD SHOULD BASED ON CASE LOAD, THINGS LIKE THAT FOR THE FEES WE GOT. I KNOW CARL AND HIS TEAM, ALONG WITH THE COURT, DID SOME EVALUATION TO COME UP WITH FEES. THE ONES THAT ARE LEFT, I THINK, INDICATE THAT IT'S ACTUAL COST. SO AT THE TIME, YOU KNOW, IF IF SOMETHING NOT EXPRESSLY DEFINITIVE, THE AMOUNT AND THE PAYMENT WE'RE LOOKING FOR COSTS, WE WOULD EVALUATE THE HOURS THAT TO, YOU KNOW, FILE AND ASSESS SOMETHING, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. RIGHT. BUT BY NO MEANS. AND THE VERY CLEAR AND NOT EXPRESSLY INDICATING, BUT IN ALL DISCUSSIONS WE HAD WITH SANTANA THAT NO ONE'S SUBSIDIZED, BUT NO ONE'S GETTING RICH EITHER. SO WE'RE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, COVER OUR COSTS AND ASSIST THEM IN THE INITIATION OF A COURT. GOING TO BE PROVIDING PROSECUTORIAL SERVICES. AND IF THE COST TO APPOINT PUBLIC DEFENDER, THEY PICK THAT ACTUAL CALL. SO, SO GOOD. AND NO SUBSIDY TO STAND. AND YOU'LL SEE WE'VE ADDED THINGS EXTRAORDINARY FEES. IT'S DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE COMING UP. BUT LIKE I SAID, IT WILL BE BASED ON COST OF THE EMPLOYEE DOING IT. THANK YOU KNOW THAT WAS VERY THANK YOU ROBERT COUNCILMAN. THANK YOU MAYOR. AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK JUDGE VALDEZ AND WINGO AND AND AND YOU, LISA, I THINK THIS IS A. I FIRST AND FOREMOST TO WORK WITH OUR SISTER COMMUNITY ON ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I DO HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. AND ONE, I KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE CASE WILL BE AT FIRST, BUT CERTAINLY PROBABLY RAMP UP OVER TIME. I'M TRYING TO ENVISION WILL THESE CASES SCHEDULED DURING COURT DAY, OR WILL THERE BE A SEPARATE DAY FOR SAN VALLEY AND FLORENCE? NO, WE WOULD SCHEDULE THEM ALL DURING NORMAL COURT.

AND I WOULD TRANSITION BETWEEN WORK BETWEEN WHETHER IT WAS A CASE OR IT WAS A CASE. THANK YOU. AND SO DO YOU ANTICIPATE ANY SORT OF DISRUPTION OR INTERFERENCE WITH THE CASES? FLORENCE. I DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY DISRUPTION. AND ACTUALLY, I THINK THE PERFECT POSITION FOR

[01:20:05]

THAT HASN'T BEEN ANSWERED. SO IF THEY COME UP WITH THEIR POLICIES AND THEIR PROCEDURES VERY QUICKLY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN GO IN AND JUST AS NEEDED OR UPDATED. I KNOW COSTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT KIND OF PENDING HAVE A LOT OF THEIR POLICIES. YET. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN ADJUST IF IT COST TOO MUCH. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. ALL OTHER QUESTIONS IT ANSWERED. I THINK IT WAS LOOKING THROUGH THERE TO FIND WHAT THERE IS A TRIGGER FOR THEM BECOMING HAVING THEIR OWN DOESN'T APPEAR TO. I THINK IT'S JUST YOU AND AND YOUR VIEW IS WHAT IT'S BASED ON. ALL RIGHT, I ADD ONE MORE. WE REQUIRED TO HAVE OUR APPROVAL SANTA APPROVAL. SUPERIOR COURT HAS TO APPROVE. CORRECT. OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, LISA, FOR THAT.

ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2008-6. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION.

COUNCIL NOT SEEING ANY OVER I ALL OPPOSED ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

THANK. YOU. ITEM SEVEN C DISCUSSION. POSSIBLE RESOLUTION NUMBER 209-2. A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF ARIZONA AUTHORIZING TOWN STAFF TO INITIATE THE APPLICATION PROCESS, INCLUDING THE PRE-APPLICATION SUBMISSION FOR WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND LOAN FOR THE WATER STRUCTURE FINANCE AUTHORITY OF ARIZONA. GOOD, CAROL. GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. THIS IS JUST GIVING TOWN STAFF AUTHORITY TO APPLY FOR A LOAN, AND SHE MOVED FORWARD WITH THAT. WE'LL BRING THAT BACK. THE PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND THE TERMS. THIS IS YOU'VE SEEN ON WEBEX, WHICH IS OUR CIP PLAN AND SCHEDULED TO START NEXT YEAR.

WE WANT TO GET THE APPLICATION. IT'S LENGTHY PROCESS. WE HAVE TO GET ON A CALENDAR AND MEET, I BELIEVE, EVERY TWO WEEKS. SO WE JUST WANT THIS GOING. OKAY. VERY GOOD, VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

ANY COUNCIL MEMBER, ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS? COUNCILMEMBER CARL, JUST A QUESTION. SO WE IF WE GO WITH THIS ALONE, AM I CORRECT IN ASSUMING THAT WOULD HAVE REPAID OUR WATER WASTEWATER. THIS IS A WATER LOAN. IT WOULD BE THE STUDY. BUT THE WATER USED TO BE PAYING THIS BACK. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO POTENTIALLY IN THE FUTURE, SOME ADJUSTMENT NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO PAY THIS BACK AS LIKE THEIR CAPITAL EXPENDITURE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER NOT SEEING ANY ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I MOVE TO RESOLUTION NUMBER 2009 26 READ. A SECOND DISCUSSION NOT HEARING ANY. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I7D IS THIS ON PROPOSED POLICY CONSIDERATION. COUNCIL ATTENDANCE AT CONCERTS AND TRAININGS. SO THIS ITEM HERE ON HERE BECAUSE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR A WHILE AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE WE HAVE A VESSEL THAT IS VERY ACTIVE THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THIS COUNCIL INDIVIDUALS TO GET OUT IN THE STATE, OUT IN AROUND. AND I FELT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S NORMALLY HANDLED AT A RETREAT AS A DISCUSSION ITEM FOR AMONG.

COUNCIL. SO THE REASON I PUT IT ON HERE TONIGHT IS WE HAVE SUCH AN UNUSUAL YEAR, A YEAR.

CURRENTLY, TWO NEW COUNCILS THAT WERE PLACED DUE TO APPOINTMENTS. AND WE HAVE ONE

[01:25:07]

JUST OPEN IT UP TO COUNCIL. ANY COMMENTS ON THAT? AND SO I'M THINKING WE'LL WORK WITH THE USUAL. LISA WILL WORK WITH ARMING AND SCHEDULING ALL OF US AND READ ON THAT. SO WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. I ALSO, I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ALL DISCUSS AND SEE FOR EACH OF US. SO ALL ATTENDING AND NOT REPRESENTING ANOTHER. I ALSO THINK IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO WHAT'S OUT THERE, WHERE TO FIND IT, TO LOOK FOR IT. AND WE DO REQUEST WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND IT WOULD BE NICE THAT AHEAD OF TIME POSSIBLE. JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE WE CAN FIND THOSE CONFERENCES. AND SO I THINK THIS IS I THINK IT'S MUCH DISCUSS. COUNCIL MEMBER CHRISTINA, I AGREE WITH BOTH THE MAYOR, VICE MAYOR THAT THIS NEEDS TO RETREAT. WISH WE COULD HAVE HAD A RETREAT OVER THE LAST HALF, BUT WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO. IT BE DISCUSSED, I AM FOR THE COUNCIL TRAINING MONEY AND BROKE UP. YOU TAKE OUT CONFERENCES LIKE ZONE A LEAGUE. IF WE'RE GOING TO DC, IF WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE CITY SOME SOME CITY, WE NEED TO DECIDE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING DURING YOUR YOUR TIME. ON TO EACH. WE. WE'RE NOT GOING TO I DON'T AGREE SEND PEOPLE TO DC AND SEVEN PEOPLE IN THE CITY. I THINK AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, IF YOU GO TO WITHIN YOUR THREE YEARS, THAT'S. ONE. AND I ALSO AGREE THAT THE OTHER LEFTOVER GETS BROKEN UP AND GIVEN TO MEMBERS. I ATTEND A LOT OF DAY FORUMS THAT MAKE 125 BUCKS TO GO TO A FORUM, OR THIS INNER FORUM OR SOMETHING, AND HE'S ASKED FOR PERMISSION AND I DINNERS ARE THAT WE GO TO, WE'RE ABLE TO GET SOME SEATS BECAUSE SPONSORS THE EXTRA SEATS.

SOME VICE MAYOR YOU ON OKAY.

COUNCILMEMBER BUCKNER, YOU KNOW, IF EVERYBODY'S WONDERING WHAT'S GOING ON, WE HAVE A BUTTON TO TALK. AND SOMEHOW OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS NOW, THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR NAMES. SO I I'M JUST TAKING US ON. WHO WANTS TO HEAR TONIGHT? I THOUGHT IT WAS OLD TIMES. I DON'T KNOW EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY ELSE'S MESS. YEAH. I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS AROUND THIS AND I THINK A WORK SESSION RETREAT, SOME FORM OF WEATHERING WHERE WE TALK

[01:30:07]

ONCE. IT REQUIRES RESOLUTION. SO WE'RE JUST ASKING YOU TO DO A RESOLUTION. SO WE HAVE A SET OF MINUTES WITH IT. ANY QUESTIONS BY COUNCIL FOR FREE MONEY. ALL RIGHT. SEEING ANY ENTERTAIN A MOTION A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 200-26. SECOND HAVE A MOTION IN A COUPLE SECONDS. ANY DISCUSSION SEEING ANY ALL OVER I ALL OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT. THANK

[01:35:03]

[9. CALL TO THE COUNCIL – CURRENT EVENTS ONLY]

WONDERFUL TO SEE SOMEONE FROM THE STATE GOVERNMENT COME AND VISIT AND SPEND TIME WITH THEM AND, YOU KNOW, ASK QUESTIONS. AND SO I REALLY ENJOYED THAT. YESTERDAY I TOOK PART IN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BOARD MEETING. I FOUND THAT TO BE VERY, VERY FULL IN MY IN MY EDUCATION AS I COME UP TO SPEED. COUNCIL MEMBER A COUPLE OF GOING ON AT THE MOONSHINE PITCH AT THE GREEN TREE INN ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH FROM ONE THREE. UNDERSTAND THEY'VE GOT NINE THAT ARE GOING TO BE MAKING PITCH AND ONE I HEAR HAS TO DO WITH BUILDING A CERTAIN THEATER IN DOWNTOWN FLORENCE. BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT COMES OF THAT. THEN IN THE EVENING THERE'S GOING TO BE A YOUNG PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING AT THE BRICKYARD, THE WINERY THAT'S FROM 6 TO 8 P.M. SO THAT'S A LOT AS WELL. THEY THE CHAMBER ALSO SET THE DATE FOR THE ANNUAL SHOW, WHICH IS GOING TO FEBRUARY 27TH OF OF NEXT YEAR. AND ONE OF THE ONE NICE THAT I HEARD DISCUSSION WAS THE MEMBERS WAS THE, THE FACT THAT THIS SUMMER, IT SEEMED TO ME THAT OUR BUSINESS ACTIVITY WAS MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT IT'S BEEN IN PRIOR YEARS. AND ONE MEMBER ACTUALLY SAID THAT THE SUMMER THEY BUSINESS EXCEEDED THE SUM OF ALL THE EIGHT PREVIOUS YEARS TOGETHER. SO I'M REALLY HOPING THAT'S GOING TO BE A SIGN FOR THE TIME. THEN THIS WEEK.

TOMORROW WE HAVE THE TOWN OF CELEBRATION AT THE FIRE AND POLICE STATION. HAD A ZONING COMMISSION SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY, BUT TO BE CANCELED. THERE'S A LACK OF. WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND WE DID ENOUGH COUNCIL MEMBERS TO GET A QUORUM. THIS. I HAVE MY CIVIC MEETING.

I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO. I'M DOING THE READING, EVERYTHING WITH THAT. AND IT'S.

[01:40:02]

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. THANK YOU MAYOR. I'LL ECHO WHAT COUNCILOR BUCKNER SAID. IT'S BEEN A REALLY FAST PACE, TWO MONTHS. AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I SHARE MY WIFE HOME FROM ONE OF OUR MEETINGS. AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, I CAUGHT MYSELF ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH. I JUST HAD THIS GRIN ON MY FACE. I KNOW I DID, AND IT'S ONLY BECAUSE I REALLY AM. SO WHAT WHAT I WANT TO NOW, AND YOU KNOW, I'M LEARNING. I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN. BUT STAFF HAS BEEN REALLY GRACIOUS AND QUESTIONS AND HELPING ME ALONG THE WAY. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT. SO I GET TO A COUPLE OF MONTHS SINCE OUR LAST MEETING THIS PAST SUNDAY, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO FLORENCE AND FLORENCE GARDENS, HAD COFFEE EVERY SATURDAY MORNING. AND YOU KNOW, THIS WAS FAIRLY WELL ATTENDED. IT GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO TALK WITH RESIDENTS THAT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND AS A GROUP. BUT I WILL SAY, BECAUSE I RAISE THE QUESTION ABOUT HOW HOW ARE THEY FEELING ABOUT THE TOWN? AND, YOU KNOW, WE THEIR NEEDS AND ONE COMPLIMENT WERE VERY QUICK WAS ABOUT MIGUEL, HIS CREW.

THEY CAME AND WORKED ON A WALK OUT THERE THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM ONE OF THE MONSOONS, HAD SOME WORK DONE, AND THEY MADE THE COMMENT THAT THEY WERE HIS CREW, VERY RESPONSIVE AND, AND DID A DID A REALLY GOOD JOB AND THEY WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. SO THANK YOU TO THE CREW. I GUESS A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. I'M GOING TO BRING BACK COUNCIL. ONE HAS TO DO WITH I JUST WANT SOME FOLLOW UP ABOUT THE GENERATOR GRANT FOR THE COOLING CENTER. AND SO I'M QUITE SURE WHERE THAT STANDS. IF GET SOME STAFF TO PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION ON THAT, THAT WE CAN BELONG TO THE RESIDENTS OF FLORENCE. AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, NOW THEY GET THROUGH THE ROUGH SPELL. THE SUMMER HAS TO DO WITH FILLING STATION. THEY NEED A GENERATOR TO TO HELP WITH THAT BECAUSE OF THEIR SITUATION, AND SO I. THE DOOR WAS OPEN WITH TOWN AS FAR AS A A GRANT FOR THAT GENERATOR. AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A FOLLOW UP AT US INFORMATION ON. AND THEN SO THE SECOND THING WAS DATA CAME UP AND GOOD QUESTIONS. THE THINGS THAT I, I FELT IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS JUST A STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE IDEA OF A DATA CENTER. THE OBVIOUS CONCERNS STATED WERE STATED AS POWER AND WATER. AND, AND I THINK AND, YOU KNOW, I SAY THIS, A COUPLE OF THE RESIDENTS SAID THAT THERE'S THERE ARE WAYS TO MITIGATE THOSE CONCERNS. I'M SURE OUR TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING. AND I THINK ATTITUDE ABOUT DATA. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK. BUT THIS WAS MY WAY ANYWAY, THAT IT IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY. YOU KNOW, IT'S THERE AND WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO DO IT. SOMEONE ELSE. AND WE MAY NOT THE OUTCOME OF VERY WELL EITHER. SO I THOUGHT IT WAS, YOU KNOW, A FAIRLY DISCUSSION AND GLAD TO HEAR THAT OFFER. SO THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY, MAYOR, WE MAY WANT TO TALK ABOUT ADDING TO LIST OF COFFEES WITH THE MAYOR. YOU KNOW, I THINK AGAIN, SATURDAY MORNING, 6:00, WE'RE ALL WELCOME. YOU KNOW, NOW, I DON'T EVEN, I GUESS, HAVE TO AHEAD OF TIME.
