NOW WE CAN WRAP UP THE MEETING AND PARTY AS LONG AS WE LIKE.
ALSO, I'M VERY AWARE THAT MY TODDLERS ARE ABOUT TO EXPIRE, SO I'M MOVING ALONG.

OH, THAT'S THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

[C.6 Announcement Of Mayor Pro Tem In Accordance With Council Rules Of Procedure Rule 4.2.]
[00:20:05]
PLEASE CALL ITEM C6.ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE MAYOR PRO TEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH COUNCIL RULE OF PROCEDURE.
SO WHENEVER THE MAYOR IS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND A MEETING OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE AT SOMETHING AS MAYOR, THERE'S ALWAYS A MAYOR PRO TEM THAT THAT STEPS UP AND SERVES IN THAT CAPACITY, AND WE ROTATE THROUGH IT.
AND FOR THE LAST LITTLE WHILE, IN SIX MONTHS OF A YEAR.
ERIC BOYCE HAS SERVED AS MAYOR PRO TEM, OF COURSE.
BUT NOW, WITH HIM OFF, THE COUNCIL IS TIME TO APPOINT A NEW ONE.
AND SO I'M GOING TO APPOINT KEVIN HARRIS AT THE SERVICE OF MAYOR PRO TEM FOR THE INDEFINITE FUTURE.

[C.7 Public Communications. (Regarding items not listed on this Agenda. Three Minutes each. Time may not be yielded/ transferred to another speaker. No deliberations with the Council. The Council may respond only with factual statements, recitation of existing policy, and requests for an item to be placed on a future Agenda.)]
PLEASE CALL ITEM C7, PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS.SO MANY OF YOU ARE JOINING US MAYBE FOR YOUR FIRST COUNCIL MEETING, LIKE SHANNON, FOR EXAMPLE.
BUT ONE THING WE ALWAYS HAVE, WE HAVE A COUNCIL MEETING IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A CITIZEN OR RESIDENT OR JUST ABOUT ANYBODY TO TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.
THIS IS A WAY FOR OUR CITIZENS TO BRING UP TO US THINGS THAT YOU KNOW, THAT I'M CONCERNED TO THEM.
WE'VE HAD THINGS WHERE WE WE'VE REALLY LEARNED THINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT'S LIKE, OH, WOW, WE SHOULD LOOK INTO THAT.
WE HAVE THINGS WE'VE WE'VE HEARD MANY TIMES BEFORE, AND IT'S A GOOD REMINDER.
AND SO BUT THE RULES ARE SINCE IT'S NOT POSTED ON THE AGENDA, THE COUNCIL CANNOT DELIBERATE.
WE CAN ONLY RESPOND WITH FACTUAL STATEMENTS, RECITING POLICY OR REQUEST ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON A FUTURE MEETINGS AGENDA.
AND SO THIS EVENING WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
ROGER FAULK, WHO RESIDES IN TJ, WHICH IS JUST A COUNCIL ON NEEDS CHANGE, CITY CODES, ORDINANCES TO CREATE WAIVERS, EXEMPTIONS OR REMOVAL OF SENDING RULES THAT IMPACT ELDER PERSONS AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES DIFFERENTLY THAN OTHERS TO MAKE TOURISM MORE FRIENDLY.
AND SO ACTUALLY, SORRY, I READ THAT THAT WAS THAT WAS MR. WOODLEY'S COMMENT. AND SO, MR. WOODLEY, IF YOU'D LIKE TO TO SPEAK FIRST, AS A REMINDER, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
THE YELLOW LIGHT WILL GIVE YOU A ONE MINUTE WARNING, AND THEN THE RED LIGHT IS WHEN YOUR TIME IS UP.
I'M SORRY, I KNOW THAT I SAID THAT VERY QUICKLY.
IT WASN'T TYPING WHAT YOU SAID, BUT I THINK I UNDERSTAND.
JUST AS A REMINDER, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
FIRST, I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT GOT ELECTED AND.
SOMETHING ABOUT IT TO COUNCIL MEETING.
AND BASICALLY THE CITY OF JUDAH PARK HAD THE DISPLAYED IMPACT THAT EFFECT PERSON DISABILITY AND OLDER PERSON THAT IN THE PARKING LOT AND THE. I HAVE COME TO SEE THE PARK BECAUSE MY MOTHER LIVED HERE AND SHE HAD BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL TWICE THIS YEAR, ONE FOR SURGERY, AND SHE NEEDED A CARETAKER TO HELP HER OUT.
I'M THE ONLY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY AT THE TABLE TO DO THAT, AND I LIVE IN A MOTOR HOME.
SO WHEN I CAME HERE, I TOLD INFORMED THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT THAT I WAS GOING TO BE HERE.
AND SIX WEEKS LATER THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE IT OFF THE PROPERTY.
I'M ON MY CELL AND I DON'T HAVE A PLACE THAT'S A PORTABLE TO BE ABLE TO PARK.
I'M FORCED TO MOVE IT INTO THE PUBLIC TREE.
AND THE CITY ORDINANCE HAD A PROHIBITION ON VEHICLE BEING PARKED IN PUBLIC.
THAT CAN'T BE MORE THAN ONE AND A HALF TON AND CAN'T BE LONGER THAN £0.21, SO.
THAT ALSO DOESN'T ALLOW PEOPLE TO CHECK THE VAN TO BE ABLE TO PARK IN THE PUBLIC SEAT.
AND IT DOESN'T EVEN ALLOW TESLA TO PARK IN THE PUBLIC STREET.
SO THERE ARE A LOT OF VEHICLES THAT WAY MORE THAN THAT.
AND THEN SOME VEHICLES HAVE A.
ADDITIONAL ACCESSIBILITY FOR THE DEVICES
[00:25:01]
LIKE MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR AND HAVE TO HAVE TO GO ON THE BUMPER.I NEEDED TO HAVE A WAIVER TO THE ORDINANCE TO BE ABLE TO LONG TERM PARKING TILL I CAN ASSIST MY MOTHER AND.
I ALSO WANT TO BRING UP THE INSIDE OF THE COMPLETELY PROHIBITED TO IT FROM SLEEPING IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY TRAVEL.
FAMILY MEMBERS MAY WANT TO COME VISIT YOU WHEN IT DOES NOT ALLOW THAT, BECAUSE IT QUICKLY PROHIBIT A POINT OF ORIGIN AND POINT AND DESIGNATION.
BEING IN WILLIAM COUNTY, TWILIGHT COUNTY, AND THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS IN THE CONTINUOUS COUNTY, AND YOU CAN'T DEVIATE MORE THAN A HALF A MILE FROM.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME.
AND CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU, MISTER WOODLEY.
APPRECIATE YOU KEEPING US ON OUR RADAR.
ALSO SIGNED UP ROGER FORK, WHO RESIDES IN THE TJ AND WISHES TO SPEAK ABOUT PARK SIGNAGE.
I'M ROGER FALK AND GLAD TO BE HERE.
AND CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR NEW LEADERSHIP HERE.
DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS COMING ON A SPECIAL NIGHT.
DIDN'T INTEND TO DO THAT, BUT I WANTED TO ADDRESS AN ISSUE THAT I THINK YOU ALL NEED TO BE AWARE OF, AND IT IS A LIABILITY FOR THE CITY OUT ON BRUSHY CREEK TRAIL, WHICH I'M A VERY REGULAR USER OF.
THE WHY AND THE TRAIL OUT THERE.
WE'RE HAVING A TRANSITION OF MICROMOBILITY, A LOT MORE MOTORIZED VEHICLES, E-BIKES, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM, THAT ARE CAPABLE OF HIGH SPEEDS ON A TRAIL THAT WASN'T DESIGNED FOR THEM.
AND IT'S A VERY BIG THREAT TO LADIES WITH STROLLERS, LITTLE KIDS TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO RIDE A BIKE.
THEY GOT A 200 POUND, 40 MILE AN HOUR VEHICLE BLAZING DOWN THE TRAIL.
NONE OF THEM HAVE HAVE SIGNALING ON THEM TO LET YOU KNOW THEY'RE COMING.
AND I HAVE A PODCAST ON SPOTIFY ON THIS.
I'M A BIG SUPPORTER OF MICROMOBILITY, AND I DO MOBILITY IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN.
AND SO I DON'T I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DEAL WITH THIS OTHER THAN TO PUT SOME GOOD RULE STRUCTURES IN PLACE.
AND THERE ARE COUNTY ORDINANCES.
AND I WILL BE WORKING AT THE CAPITOL THIS YEAR TO GET THESE EXPANDED TO SOME DEGREE, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT HIGH SPEED VEHICLES OPERATED ON A TRAIL WHERE THERE ARE YOUNG CHILDREN AND THINGS.
AN ACCIDENT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO INSURANCE, THERE'S NO ASSIGNMENT OF WHO'S, YOU KNOW, DRIVING THE VEHICLE THAT COULD BE JUST GONE.
AND I MYSELF HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF AN ACCIDENT ON BRUSHY TREE TRAIL.
RIGHT NOW, THE CITY OF CEDAR PARK IS PUTTING SIGNS UP ON THE TRAIL THAT ARE TOTALLY IN CONFLICT WITH SIGNAGE THAT ALREADY EXISTED BY FERN BLUFF AND OTHER FOLKS THAT ARE ALONG THE TRAIL, AND WILLIAMSON COUNTY WHO JUST REDID THE SIGNING TO QUARTER MILE SIGNS THAT PROHIBIT THE USE OF ALL THESE VEHICLES.
I'M SEEING OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, CEDAR PARKS PUTTING SIGNS UP THAT TOTALLY CONFLICT.
I MEAN, ON ONE SIDE OF THE TRAIL AND I CAN SHOW YOU PICTURES.
I BROUGHT PICTURES OF THE SIGNS ON ONE SIDE.
IT SAYS IT'S FINE TO USE THESE MOTORIZED VEHICLES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRAIL.
AND THE ORDINANCE AT THE COUNTY DOES UNDERLINE THAT.
SO YOU GOT TO FIX IT, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE THE WILD WEST OVER THERE.
THE COUNTY HAS TRIED TO REIN IT IN.
NOW HERE COMES THE CITY OF CEDAR PARK WITH SIGNAGE THAT COMPLETELY CONTRADICTS WHAT WAS THE STANDARD.
AND YOU NEED TO FIX THAT, BECAUSE HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
YOU'RE BASICALLY SANCTIONING THE USE OF THESE VEHICLES.
AND IF THEY HIT SOMEONE OR THAT SOMEONE GETS HURT, THEY'RE COMING TO YOU.
THERE'S A LOT OF KIDS ON THE TRAIL.
THEY'RE OPERATING MOTORCYCLES THAT DO 60 MILES AN HOUR ON THESE TRAILS, AND THERE'S A LOT OF BLIND CURVES, A LOT OF LADIES WITH STROLLERS, A LOT OF LITTLE KIDS ON THEIR BIKES.
IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
BUT BUT DEFINITELY APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS ISSUE TO OUR ATTENTION.
I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IN COUNCIL WORKSHOPS UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT GRADATIONS OF E-BIKES, AND CERTAINLY AN ISSUE THAT I THINK WE'RE ALL.
[00:30:03]
AND HOW DO YOU DETERMINE IF IS THE PROBLEM? THE ENFORCEMENT IS ANOTHER. EXACTLY.AND RIGHT NOW CEDAR PARK POLICE IS DOING THE ENFORCEMENT ON THE TRAIL.
AND SO YOU ALL ARE PRETTY INTEGRAL TO THIS.
AND AND I'LL BE GLAD TO COME BACK AND GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION ON IT.
I HAVE A POWERPOINT ON MICROMOBILITY AND TRAIL USE AND SAFETY AND SIGNALING AND THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE, BECAUSE A BICYCLE IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN A 40 MILE AN HOUR BICYCLE WITH A MOTOR ON IT.
AND YOU'VE GOT TO CRAFT SOME RULES TO, WELL, IF YOU COULD PLEASE GIVE YOUR CONTACT INFO TO SOME OF OUR STAFF AND THEY'LL BE AND TO BE IN TOUCH AND GET SOME MORE OF THAT INFORMATION AND WE'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE FOR SURE.
THAT'S GOOD. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT BACK. YOU OR ANYONE ELSE HERE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.
SEEING NONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, I WILL CLOSE ITEM C7.
AND I BELIEVE THAT BRINGS US TO
[H.1 Mayor And Council Closing Comments.]
COMMENTS.OKAY, SO WE END EVERY MEETING WITH EACH OF US TAKES A TURN, USUALLY GIVING A FEW THOUGHTS FOR A MINUTE OR TWO.
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THINGS GOING ON IN THIS COMMUNITY.
REFLECTIONS ON THIS EVENING'S AGENDA.
WE REALLY KIND OF OPEN MIC NIGHT FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS.
WE, WE WE'VE GONE BY KIND OF IN ORDER OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
I THINK WHAT I'D LIKE TO GO BACK IN THIS TERM IS GO BACK TO CORBIN, AND HE WAS MAYOR WHERE WE COULD REVERSE SENIORITY.
AND SO LEADING US OFF THIS EVENING WILL BE COUNCIL MEMBER IDA.
YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE JUST A REAL QUICK STATEMENT JUST TO TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME OR SHARE THEIR STORIES AND CONCERNS AND HOPES FOR OUR CITY DURING THIS LAST ELECTION.
I REALLY APPRECIATE GETTING TO MEET SO MANY OF THE RESIDENTS, AND I TRULY APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY HAS SHOWN THROUGHOUT THIS LAST ELECTION.
I'M ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL FOR MY MY FAMILY WHO SUPPORT AND PATIENCE AND ENCOURAGEMENT MADE THIS THIS JOURNEY POSSIBLE.
AND I ALSO WANTED TO THANK OUTGOING COUNCIL MEMBER KIRKLAND FOR HIS SERVICE TO CEDAR PARK.
I'M HONORED TO SERVE HONOR FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY MOVING FORWARD.
SO THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. DARREN.
WELL, GETTING EVERYONE FIRST ONE IS SINCERELY THANK ALL OF THE RESIDENTS AND EVERYONE HERE FOR PLACING THEIR TRUST IN ME TO SERVE ON CITY COUNCIL.
RUNNING FOR OFFICE WAS NEVER ABOUT POLITICS.
FOR ME, IT WAS ABOUT WORKING TO MAKE CEDAR PARK A PLACE THAT OUR KIDS WANT TO MOVE BACK TO YOU SOMEDAY AND RAISE A FAMILY OF THEIR OWN.
ONE THING MY WIFE LAURA, MY KIDS GRANT AND JACOB, MY PARENTS, DAN AND JAN, MY PARENTS IN LAW BILL AND KIM FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND SACRIFICED OUT THE CAMPAIGN.
PUBLIC SERVICE IS DEFINITELY NOT A INDIVIDUAL EFFORT AND I WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT THEM.
I'M ALSO GRATEFUL FOR EVERY FRONT PORCH CONVERSATION, EVERY VOLUNTEER, EVERY SUPPORTER, AND EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS ELECTION PROCESS.
ONE ESPECIALLY THANK MY PREDECESSOR, ERIC VOICE, FOR BOTH HIS SERVICE TO THE CITY AS WELL AS HIS FRIENDSHIP.
AS I BEGIN THIS ROLE, MY FOCUS IS ON THE PRIORITIES THAT I HEARD CONSISTENTLY FROM RESIDENTS ACROSS THE CITY.
NO ONE COUNCIL MEMBER HAS ALL THE ANSWERS, AND I'M VERY EXCITED AND HONORED TO GET TO WORK ALONGSIDE MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, OUR FANTASTIC CITY STAFF, THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO MOVE THE CITY FORWARD TOGETHER.
SO IT'S A TREMENDOUS RESPONSIBILITY AND I'M HONORED TO SERVE.
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TO CELEBRATE THE SWEARING CEREMONY OF US FOUR.
I HAD WRITTEN A SPEECH FOR SMALL SPEECH, BUT I'M JUST GOING OFF THE SCRIPT HERE.
PETRA HERE WROTE ME A BEAUTIFUL LETTER AND LEFT IT.
I'M GOING TO JUST QUOTE A LITTLE THING HE HAS WRITTEN HERE, AND I'LL START WITH THAT.
FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU. PETRIE.
YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH INCREDIBLE TRAILS IN YOUR LIFE.
YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED TO THIS PLACE IN THIS TIME.
I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT HE HAS WRITTEN.
AND THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU.
FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD SINCERELY LIKE TO THANK THE RESIDENTS OF CEDAR PARK FOR YOUR TRUST AND SUPPORT.
I THINK IT'S AN INCREDIBLE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO SERVE AS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER OF THIS BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY HERE, AND I'M REALLY THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
AND I DO BELIEVE EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE, ALL MY EXPERIENCES, EVERYTHING HAS LED TO THIS DAY WHERE I AM TODAY.
[00:35:04]
A FEW YEARS BACK, WHEN I MOVED TO CEDAR PARK.I WAS LOOKING FOR A SAFE PLACE TO REBUILD MY LIFE AND RAISE MY CHILDREN, AND THIS CITY GAVE ME THAT OPPORTUNITY.
THIS CITY GAVE ME A COMMUNITY, THE STABILITY, THE HOPE.
I'M REALLY THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
AND I REALLY WANT TO THANK ALL MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS, SUPPORTERS, VOTERS, THE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED IN ME, MY AWESOME CAMPAIGN TEAM, JIM, MIKE, DARREN WHO HELPED THROUGH THIS CAMPAIGN TO REACH WHERE I AM TODAY.
AND I DO WANT TO LET THE CEDAR PARK PEOPLE KNOW THAT I WILL TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY.
I WILL WORK TOWARDS MAKING THE BEST OF MY TIME HERE TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY WITH THE COMPASSION, THAT INTEGRITY, TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
WE WILL TAKE THIS CITY FORWARD FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR ALL OF US.
GOD BLESS CEDAR PARK. THANK YOU.
YEAH, WELL, THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT THIS EVENING.
IT'S ALWAYS A SPECIAL NIGHT WHEN WE GET TO CELEBRATE AND, YOU KNOW, SWEARING IN NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS.
THIS IS ALWAYS A CELEBRATION FOR MANY FAMILIES.
SO IT'S NICE TO SEE EVERYBODY OUT HERE THIS EVENING.
WE DO HAVE A COUPLE FUN EVENTS.
I KNOW TOMORROW NIGHT WE'VE GOT OUR LIVE AT LAKE LINE.
I THINK IT MIGHT EVEN BE OUR LAST ONE.
IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A GREAT NIGHT.
ALSO, I WANT TO MENTION I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF DELIVERING A PROCLAMATION TO THE TEACHER APPRECIATION AND MANY, MANY TEACHERS AROUND.
SO I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WAS A GURU.
VANDANA WAS A WONDERFUL CELEBRATION AND I WAS ABLE TO DO THAT, AND I HOPE ALL TEACHERS FELT CELEBRATED AND HAD A WONDERFUL TEACHER APPRECIATION.
AND WE GOT A COUPLE MORE WEEKS BEFORE WE FINISH OUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.
SO EVERYBODY STAY SAFE IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND FINISH OUT STRONG.
SO WE'LL SEE YOU ALL IN A FEW WEEKS.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE BEEN THIS FALL.
SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT.
AND WELCOME TO EVERYONE THAT'S NEW ON THE DAIS.
AND I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO PAPERBARK BIRCH.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW PAPERBARK BIRCH, IT'S A CHILDREN'S BOOKSTORE IN THE RAIL YARD, AND THEY WERE JUST NAMED AS ONE OF THE TEN BEST CHILDREN'S BOOKSTORES IN AMERICA, RIGHT HERE IN CEDAR PARK.
SO I'M REALLY EXCITED TO GET OVER THERE AND MEET STEPHANIE.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE BOOKSTORE IN CEDAR PARK, AND SO IT'S SUPER EXCITING.
AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT TO PAY RESPECTS AND HOMAGE TO OUR FORMER MAYOR, BOB, AND TELL A VERY DEAR FRIEND OF MINE AND BIG CARDINALS FAN AND LEFT A BIG HOLE IN MY HEART THAT HE'S GONE. SO.
YES, THIS IS ALWAYS THIS EXCITING TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN NEW CONSOLES COME ON.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF IMPORTANT, TOUGH AND EXCITING THINGS OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH EVERYONE AS WE GO TO WORKSHOPS, BUDGET AND FIGURING OUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S ALL THE IMPORTANT THINGS WE NEED TO DO FOR THE CITY GOING FORWARD.
SO THAT'S ALWAYS AN INTERESTING TIME.
SO I WOULD SAY, EVERYBODY BUCKLE UP.
I GUESS THERE'S A LOT OF EVENTS GOING ON.
WE'VE GOT GRADUATIONS AND ALL THAT.
YOU KNOW, I SAW A POST FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WELL DONE ON THE YOU CAN'T GET RID OF 8000 PEOPLE THAT'S GETTING READY TO BE IN OUR CITY.
BUT THAT WAS THAT WAS A GOOD POINT OF THE REALITY OF THE TRAFFIC ARE GOING TO HAVE DURING THAT TIME FRAME.
EVERYBODY HAS SOME PATIENCE AND BASICALLY JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE HUB CENTER IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO OVER THERE.
THE RIVER CITY, HOPE STREET IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT'S HAVING HER SPRING GRADUATION.
THIS IS ONE OF THE NONPROFITS THAT THE CITY ACTUALLY SUPPORTED THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY FUNDS.
AND, YOU KNOW, JUST SPEAKS TO A LOT OF THE NONPROFITS IN OUR CITY THAT ARE DOING A LOT OF GREAT THINGS.
THIS IS A ORGANIZATION THAT HELPS TRAIN YOUNG FOLKS ON IN THE SKILL SETS OF BEING AN ELECTRICIAN.
AND SO THEY'RE HAVING A GRADUATION ON SATURDAY, ALL OF TENS.
BUT ENJOY THE WEEKEND AND THANKS FOR EVERYBODY.
THIS IS ALSO A TESTAMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY, SOMETHING LIKE THIS, TO HAVE A FULL ROOM OF PEOPLE SUPPORTING, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, THE COUNCIL, HOPEFULLY YOU'RE HERE FOR OTHER THAN JUST THE ONES THAT GOT ELECTED.
BUT BUT THERE WAS A GOT ELECTED ESPECIALLY I'M SURE SO.
AND SHANNON IS HERE BUT OH MY GOD, I'LL BRING IT UP BECAUSE MY WIFE DOESN'T ATTEND EITHER.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
I GUESS BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
[00:40:03]
WELL THANKS VERY MUCH.YEAH, I DO WANT TO KIND OF START OFF ALSO RECOGNIZING THE MEMORY OF FORMER MAYOR BOB MANTLE, WHO PASSED ON EXPECTEDLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND WHO WE HAD A SMALL LITTLE CELEBRATION OF LIFE LAST NIGHT.
BOB, SOMEBODY I MET MY FIRST TIME I RAN, AND I THINK HE WAS GOING TO HE WAS GOING TO COME OVER FOR JUST A MINUTE.
AND THEN TWO HOURS LATER, I THINK SARAH CAME OUT TO THE FRONT PORCH LIKE, ARE YOU OKAY OUT HERE? AND SO, YOU KNOW, BUT BOB WAS JUST SUCH A WEALTH OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE CITY BECAUSE HE BUILT SO MUCH OF IT HAD BEEN SUCH A ALONG WITH HIS WIFE, LYNN'S MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY FROM WHEN IT WAS A VERY SMALL TOWN.
BUT HE NEVER, NEVER LOST SIGHT OF WANTING TO MAKE SURE THIS IS A PLACE THAT WAS RUN WITH INTEGRITY, RUN THOUGHTFULLY, WITH A REAL ATTENTION TO DETAIL, BUT ALSO A COMMUNITY WHERE WHERE EVERYBODY HAD A PLACE.
AND SO I FEEL LIKE TONIGHT, IN SO MANY WAYS, IS A TESTAMENT TO BOB'S LEGACY, A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES COMING TO OUR CITY TO RAISE THEIR FAMILIES AND BUILD THEIR BUSINESSES, CELEBRATE WHAT MAKES AMERICA, WHAT MAKES TEXAS GREAT AND ALWAYS HAS RIGHT, WHICH IS BRINGING OUR OWN HERITAGES AND OWN BACKGROUNDS, OUR OWN BELIEFS, RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU, YOU, WE BRING TO US, TO MAKE US, US.
AND IT'S A WONDERFUL THING ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY, AND I'M GLAD WE'RE ALL HERE TO CELEBRATE THAT.
IT'S REALLY EXCITING HAVING ALL BUT ONE OF MY KIDS HERE.
WE DON'T GET THEM TOGETHER ALL THAT OFTEN, BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
THANK YOU ESPECIALLY SARAH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.
YOU MAKE A GREAT FIRST LADY EVEN THOUGH YOU LIKE DO NOT LIKE BEING CALLED THAT.
BUT I ALSO JUST WANT TO CONCLUDE BY THANKING ALL THE FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS.
YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO MAKE AN AMAZING TEAM.
THESE THREE, THREE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS JUST WORKED EXTREMELY HARD THROUGHOUT THIS CAMPAIGN SEASON IN A WAY THAT WILL MAKE THEM BETTER COUNCIL MEMBERS.
WHEN YOU KNOCK ON THOUSANDS OF DOORS, YOU LEARN THE VARIOUS.
ALL OF US UP HERE HAVE DONE A LOT OF DOOR KNOCKING OVER OVER THE YEARS, AND YOU JUST LEARN THINGS ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY THAT YOU JUST YOU DON'T GET TO LEARN AT CHAMBER MEETINGS.
YOU DON'T GET TO READ JUST BY READING.
YOU DON'T LEARN FROM COMMUNITY IMPACT.
I KNOW ALL OF US ARE GOING TO. YEAH, SORRY, DANIEL.
READING THE IMPACT IS IMPORTANT.
THANK YOU. THAT'S A GREAT JOB.
BUT BUT THE REALITY IS, YOU KNOW, THE REALITY IS WITH 83,000 RESIDENTS, THAT'S 83,000 AND PANS AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
AND WE ARE ONLY GOOD AT THIS JOB IF YOU HELP US BE BETTER AT THIS JOB.
AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT.
THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS QUITE THIS MUCH FUN.
THERE'S CERTAINLY A LITTLE LONGER SOMETIMES.
BUT PLEASE CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO TALK WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBERS YOU KNOW, AND THE ONES YOU DON'T KNOW, AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU THINK CAN BE DONE BETTER EVERY NOW AND THEN.
MAYBE. WHAT'S GOING ON. RIGHT. THAT'S THAT'S NICE TOO.
SOMETIMES WE DO GET A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS ABOUT OUR STAFF, BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS A WONDERFUL CITY.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR TOMORROW EVEN BRIGHTER AND MORE EXCITING THAN THE CITY TODAY.
AND WITH THAT, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
