JUST ONE MORE HE'S. 
          [00:00:02]
I LIKE THE IDEA OF PARCELING THIS OUT THAT YOU YOU TWO HAD DISCUSSED AS WELL. 
          [*This meeting was joined in-progress*]
          [STAFF UPDATE]
MY ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT YOU HAD MADE BOARD MEMBER CAMPANY, WAS SORT OF DRIVING
EVERYTHING TOWARDS DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS. 
          SO I WANTED TO OFFER POTENTIALLY WHY NOT INCLUDE IRRIGATION OR SOME, YOU KNOW, IF
IRRIGATION IS KIND OF THE ISSUE? DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE AND LUSH AND TROPICAL. 
          AS A PLANT GUY, YOU KNOW, SO MAYBE HAVING IRRIGATION BEING INCLUDED WITHIN THAT OR SOME
PORTION OF IT FOR PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT WANT TO GO ALL DROUGHT TOLERANT, YOU KNOW, OR IT'S NOT REALLY APPROPRIATE FOR WHERE THEY'RE, THEY'RE AT. 
          YEAH. A SHADIER SPOT OR IT REALLY DEPENDS CASE BY CASE BASIS. 
          LIKE EVERYTHING IN DOWNTOWN IS SO URBANIZED THAT IT'S REALLY HARD FOR THEM TO EVEN PUT
ANY LANDSCAPING AND THEN ASK FOR IRRIGATION, LIKE NOW IF WE GO ON US ONE. YEAH, I MEAN, THEY THEY COULD DO A, YOU KNOW, MAJOR LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS AND WE
COULD REQUIRE THEM TO DO IRRIGATION. 
          WHAT I'M SAYING IS INCLUDING THE COST OF IRRIGATION WITHIN EVEN THE LANDSCAPING. 
          YEAH, UP TO SOME PERCENTAGE OF IT, YOU KNOW. 
          WELL, WE DON'T REQUIRE THE IRRIGATION, BUT IF THEY WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON IRRIGATION,
THAT COULD BE PART OF THE PROGRAM. 
          IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? BASICALLY. SO TO COMMISSIONER MACDONALD'S POINT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE USING DROUGHT
TOLERANT PLANTS THAT SHOULDN'T THERE SHOULD BE NO REQUIREMENT TO WRITE DO IRRIGATION. 
          BUT IF YOU ARE AND IT'S STILL REQUIRED, MAYBE WE HELP COVER THE COST OF THAT AS WELL. 
          WITHIN. YEAH. 
          SO I THINK WITH THE BURP, THEY COULD STILL PROBABLY DO MINOR LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS AND
STILL APPLY UNDER THE BURP. 
          BUT IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS THEN WE SHOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE
IRRIGATION AS PART OF THE LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. 
          SO FOR THAT PROGRAM, WE COULD REQUIRE THEM TO DO IRRIGATION. 
          BUT IF THEY'RE JUST DOING SOME MINOR, YOU KNOW, DROUGHT TOLERANT, THEY COULD PROBABLY
FALL UNDER THE BRB PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE MAKING OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ALSO. 
          SO YOU ALREADY HAVE INTERNALLY A WAY TO NAVIGATE THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE ANY CHANGE
TO THE PROGRAM. 
          WELL, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BRING BACK THE AMENDMENTS TO THE PROGRAM, TO THE BOARD FOR
APPROVAL, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IRRIGATION IS I'M NOT IRRIGATION. 
          LANDSCAPING IS REQUIRED AS PART OF THE BIRTH PROGRAM. 
          GOT IT. SO WE HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR RESURFACING PROJECT. 
          AND AND THEY DON'T MEET THE MINIMUM POINT REQUIREMENT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO DO
LANDSCAPING. 
          SO WE'RE NOT ABLE TO BRING THAT APPLICATION FORWARD. 
          SO WE'RE RUNNING INTO A LOT OF THESE, YOU KNOW APPLICATIONS WE CAN'T BRING IT INTO
BECAUSE THEY DON'T THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE. 
          THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE. 
          THANK YOU. MADAM. 
          MADAM CHAIR. COMMISSIONER. 
          YOU KNOW TODAY, WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US TODAY? DO YOU NEED JUST RECOMMENDATIONS AND YOU'LL BRING IT BACK, OR DO YOU NEED A MOTION? ANY MOTIONS? TODAY, I THINK WE WE GOT GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          WE'LL MAKE THE AMENDMENTS AND BRING BOTH PROGRAMS TOGETHER. 
          ONE WILL BE THE NEW LANDSCAPING PROGRAM WITH IRRIGATION REQUIREMENT WITH THE MAXIMUM
$5,000. 
          AND FOR THE PERP, WE'RE PROBABLY JUST GOING TO REVERT BACK TO HOW THE PROGRAM WAS. 
          AND IT WAS SUCCESSFUL. 
          AND THAT'S THE DIRECTION I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING FROM THE BOARD. 
          AND AND YOUR MAP THAT SHOWS THE AREA, THE OUTLINED AREA YOU'RE GOING TO. 
          HOW ARE YOU GOING TO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE THIS UP ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. 
          ARE YOU GOING TO SEND OUT A TARGET LETTER TO THESE BUSINESSES? WE WE SEND OUT NOTICES TO ALL THE BUSINESSES ABOUT THE PROGRAM. 
          SO THEY'RE GETTING NOTICES EVERY YEAR. 
          OKAY. AND PLUS WE HAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT. 
          AND IF WE FEEL LIKE A PROPERTY OWNER COULD USE SOME IMPROVEMENTS, WE'LL HAVE THEM DELIVER
THE NOTICE HAND, DELIVER THE NOTICE TO THEM. 
          HAVE YOU EVER HAD, LIKE, A COFFEE TIME OR SOMETHING TO INVITE THE BUSINESSES TO, TO TELL
THEM ABOUT THE HAVE A LITTLE OPEN HOUSE ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR, OR WHENEVER THE APPLICATION CYCLE SEASON STARTS TO JUST MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING EDUCATION OF ALL THE CRA PROGRAMS. THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD POINT. WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          WE COULD INVITE THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND RESIDENTS AND INFORM THEM ABOUT DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS THAT'S OFFERED BY THE CRA, OR EVEN IF COMMISSIONERS OR MAYORS HAVING COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR OR SOMETHING. 
          WE COULD ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS. 
          AND VOLUNTEERING IS THAT WE HAVE DONE THAT, VOLUNTEERING TO HOST IT. 
          I CAN HOST ONE OF THOSE. 
          OKAY. WE'LL CONTINUE TO EDUCATE. 
          THANK YOU. SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO TELL ROSA RECORDS TO GET AN AWNING OUT FRONT. 
          I WANTED TO IN WITH THE MONEY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THAT AT SOME SPEND. 
          AND MAYBE THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT. 
          THEY'RE NOT APPLYING FOR THIS. 
          IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, HAVE WE SPENT THE 50,000 EVERY YEAR WE HAVE. 
          OKAY. GOOD, GOOD GOOD NEWS. 
          ALTHOUGH WE DON'T NEED A MOTION THEN, YOU KNOW. 
          [00:05:03]
ALL RIGHT, WELL, THEN THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. 
          ALL RIGHT.
