 Okay, I see district seven may be ready to go and I see district one You guys are talking still over there. Are you guys ready? I see some conversations still going on Okay, district. Let me let me go to district seven first District seven can we Okay, here we go. We're pulling up district seven Jacob on swell We would like to give back 1.35 million to botanical gardens So we're going to zero that out Yes, and we're going to continue to not stay in our lane by giving Money six hundred thousand to district one Yeah, so we're taking six hundred thousand from Opish Nable and Giving it to our fellow district District one Six hundred thousand. Okay, so we'll allow staff a second here to make that change Set all the changes that need to be made That's it So when you said when you said the district one for old Spanish trail Right. Yes. Oh, it's team staff you have that Okay, so with that we need it now a motion So Jacob we are making now the motion for district seven change to be Opish Nagle Schnabel To be a line item reduced by six hundred thousand to transfer over to an Increase of the old Spanish trail by six hundred thousand that is the motion on the table. Can I have a second? Kathy is the second All those are any discussion, please Questions We still David Yes, David. Oh, I'm sorry Bill. Hey there We still we're still gonna get the 95 acres right for Opish Nable Because I hate to see a thousand houses going that piece of land when we can do park So yes, yes, the land acquisition is still good. Good Okay, any more questions a more discussion All those in favor, please raise your hand Okay, all those not in favor, please raise your hand All those abstaining raise your hand all those not here raise your hand, okay, I just had to do that Okay motion passes. Thank you very much Great change. We now move on to Let's see who else is ready to go district five. Are you ready or district one? Let's go to district one when we first began deliberations district one was committed to staying in our lane and In doing so we attempted to reallocate funds for old Spanish trail. I Would like to commend my colleagues on this committee for working with us together And we have come to an understanding of what's important to our community Even though we recognize that there's only a street that divides us from one district to another We understand the impact that old Spanish trail will have on both of our communities and certainly city-wide With that being said we would like to reallocate monies that were originally dedicated to la vita and Also to McFarland Tennis Center for a total of 1.4 75 million and in the spirit of getting out of our lane We would like to contribute a hundred and fifty thousand from the downtown park package to district five Would you like me to repeat those remount amounts down? Okay, so the amount for La Vita is 1.25 Not that much We're generous not that generous And McFarland is 225 and then 150 from the downtown park package And that is going to district five Yes Yes So chair if I may just to let people know because these are new and hadn't been discussed so this will zero Xavier what one second we're gonna get this a motion and then a second And then we'll have you in part of discussion Hang on one second. Is that does that capture what you all the intention? Yes, it does Tennis Center MC F. A. R. L. I. N Are there any other addition? Subtractions that you want to add here? Okay so For council district one we can all see and for the record it will be as reflected here Can I get that motion it is as moved? Can I get a second and second by Charles English? Thank you very much and Now it's open for discussion and we have staff to make Open up the discussion just just to the so the committee is Understands the proposal La Vita was that is the full amount of La Vita So that would zero that out as well as the McFarland Tennis Center that was only for 225 as well So just so people are worried that Mc the downtown park package still a big chunk remains intact Xavier can you just would you please give us a little bit of detail on that for La Vita? I'll ask Mike to do La Vita because I'm not familiar with that one, but on the McFarland Those were ADA improvements improvements to the clubhouse at McFarland Thank you Mike sure we've talked a little bit about La Vita just the aging infrastructure in the in the biggest the plaza area is there You know so that that was the vision there That's the greatest need for that area up against the buildings and all the way to the streets Just reworking to improve that plaza. Thank you Okay, let's see a Phoebe please Okay, I just want to thank district one for their help and assistance With the 150 it do you have a problem reallocating that instead of to the park package though to the senior Softball League with normal. It's still within district five. Is that okay? I'll accept that yes Great, okay, so can we make that? To the senior softball league normal oil excellent Okay, so do we have to make a revision? Okay, so we have to actually withdraw the motion and Then it's now a substitute as substituted and Then get a new motion Right, okay, so this is the new motion That is done by Phoebe and seconded by Melanie Right, so now we're back to discussion now grace I am I want to thank district one for working across Fredericksburg Road We have sort of have that invisible line that goes to the middle of it and it goes all the way down and you know Into Deco district and we've worked on bonds, you know before together So I do appreciate that because it does not just benefit our two districts but this project like you said it's going to do about six districts as as they had looked at at the Users and the children that that actually play the soccer. So thank you very much for doing that Any other discussion? All right, so motion seconded and seconded the substitution we can all see it on the screen All those in favor, please raise your hand looks like that's everyone But all those not in favor, please raise your hand All those abstaining, please raise your hand All right that motion passes that's district one great job All right now. Let's go to district six. Are you ready? Okay, what we've done. We've done a lot of discussion and compromise As far as the skate park we're going to reduce that from three million to cut in half to one and a half million and Then Mike I'd like to ask you a question. I'm sorry. Mr. Frisbee. I'd like to ask you after all this time He's still smiling too, I mean We have you know as I think there's been a lot of words dirty the line this kind of stuff, but We've got no we've already negotiated just about everything we had as far as what we can do with the money that we we had How much would one and a half million dollars affect the the Project that all these signs are affected here. Is it going to kill it? Is it going to impact it? more than More than the benefits that the skate park would have for the kids You're talking about hemisphere Civic Park, so 1.5 million I do it will impact it. It won't kill the project, but it will change the scope of the project We already cut it back significantly to get to the 21 million. So we had a skate park in there So it would it would have it Anything below the 21 would have a scope impact that would have to be Figured out with the project to cut something back Okay, because I'm having some difficulty and that that's the biggest project biggest number that we have It's also I think the one that With as much impact and support as we have around the room tonight I'm sure that they can continue and complete the funding and it's kind of I Think defeats the purpose of this committee of everything that we've gone through and brought people in with the idea of Bringing their projects forward to lock into these amounts the way we have So if anybody else would like to help with this, I'd appreciate it Otherwise, what we'll have to do is put it on that major project list You're referring to the priority list, right? I really don't want to do that. I I think we're going to Whereas hemisphere will go through with that one and a half million divot out of it This other one. I don't think we have the people at the time I don't think they had the money to buy t-shirts and bring signs in tonight but if they could have they would have and I'm just disappointed in the price so anyway That's what I'd like to do. That's what we'd like to put up there Bill Can you tell us where we are on Hemisphere Park? Are we down one and a half million or where are we at the on total for Hemisphere Park right now We're still we're still at the 21. We're still we're still at 21. Yeah So we take out the 1.5 We're still at 21. No, no, if you okay on based on actions, you're at 21 million still at the staff recommended We take this out. We're like 19 5 or something like that or 18 5 18 5, right 19 5, okay Mr. Robert Yeah, I just like to point out that I think there's not a district here that wouldn't like a million and a half dollars out Of the biggest project on the list it seems a little bit greedy to me to To claim that for district 6 when all of us have more needs that have not been unmet and I It's not to diminish the skate park project. I'd love to see it happen, but I would ask that you look elsewhere besides this project which is We've heard loud and clear why this is the best business investment out of any of these projects on the list So I don't understand why it's only okay for district 6 to do it when you know We we have tens of millions of unmet park needs in our district, but we're not grabbing for these citywide impacts. I Think go ahead and respond and then I will go to mark Okay, our our councilman Identified 3.2 million in this particular area and I think across the board. He was very conscientious into the amount that he budgeted So we are we are in the situation now. Well, we have something that through this process was brought in front of this committee and Given why it was a good project We have looked at it as a district. We've identified that it is a good project that it would benefit it We had looked at all of this money all of these projects were open We as a committee have to decide what is best. It's not like I'm focusing on this particular project It is the one that I think that can have the support that will be completely funded It has the least impact on and that's why I put that up there I would much have preferred if we could have said hey, let's put another one and a half million dollars and put it on the Bond that option is not given to me. The option was given to me to do what I did and I don't do it lightly. I like all of you folks I'm sorry that I've had to do this But I really firmly believe in this and I firmly believe that if we do not do this now It's not gonna happen So I'm asking you folks to please consider that as far as As far as as as an option mark Then Charles Yeah We here at district 10 are our sympathetic to Y'all's desire for the skate park. I think it's real easy to look at $21 million the big number, you know, that's been put before us and for everybody to want to grabs some of that money For projects within their own district that would make a difference in people's lives But I think actually this committee I want to commend them as shown incredible Restraint and recognizes the value and the merit in this hemisphere project This is a project that's going to Create some 3700 jobs here in San Antonio It's gonna have an Financial impact for the city of about 400 million dollars a year People from every district in our city Make use of Hemisphere Park The money that's being allocated this 21 million dollars is going towards Improvements for the park not not hotels or shops or anything like that, but actual improvements for the park Thank you and So I think I commend the committee for Holding strong not trying to take this money and unfortunately, I think we should vote to deny this proposal by district 6 Charles Charles. Yes chairs and committee It was just brought to me my teacher by my colleague and I also talked to mr. Frisbee It was said that district one district two is getting a lot of money, but there's something called rough Proportionality district 5 is getting 40 million dollars in Street and bridge and drainage so therefore it seems like some may get more than others and this should be in your case in That rough proportionality in in a whole gamut of things where you said your council person was aware This is this is probably all he could Get so we have to take that in consideration where we don't have all the information to all the different for All four programs We do have the information here in this process and we did tour that those particular Places and I think that Civic Park really needs to get what it can so they can move forward on this maintenance and so forth for the years to come Sean and then back to Merrill I Don't want to sound like a broken record, but I see that you know several districts have already advocated for hemisphere concerning the the importance of the park and What we try to do my costentials of our show get faved towards I believe in it but already Literally agreeing to give up 1.6 million dollars even to the point of Hurting two of our projects and only partially funding a new project So it is very difficult for me to to look at what we've done already thus far and not on particular district and Then the exact same time I kind of feel like with a big moral and on the side of fit side of the boat right now And because we have 21 million dollars, you know for hemisphere that you know We is being eaten away So I just hope that in the spirit of cooperation that we show shows so for get faith Putting forth 1.6 million dollars even to the detriment of two of our projects and only partially funding One of our new projects and that can be taken into consideration And if we please ask you to to please let us fully fund Hemisphere Park for the full 21 million dollars Merrill and then Melanie then well, I'd be more than happy to accept money from any other group But if not, if not, let's go ahead. Where are you going to have the process to move the project over to the to the priority list I've been marking down a list and I know staff is also tracking a list as well I want to review that list. There's actually two right now. I've have Charles. We've talked about Dawson Park Hay Street Bridge was one that we've discussed the skate park I think is one that we would all agree could be on here And I think before we go tonight like to just review that make sure that ones that we all agree Should be on here do make it on there And then we'll review that before we leave tonight as well Melanie I just wanted to give a little anecdote about hemisphere. We all probably have some Really warm fuzzy feeling about hemisphere and the and tower of the Americas But it's been a part of my family since as long as I could remember him even before I was born It's literally given me and most of us our entire livelihood and what we love about San Antonio. I Don't look at it as just another park downtown I come all the way from another corridor another part of town and I represented another district I Bring four children to that park once a week Speaking three different languages. I took two refugee children there When they first immigrated here to the United States when they had to leave their war-torn country One of them was a paraplegic She had not spoken a word of her native language in a year And it took me a month to get her on a swing Because she could barely walk and she was here in this country due to orthopedic surgery Hemisphere was able to give her her first giggle back after hearing bombs non-stop in her country I Still take her there because that is where she still hears giggles and that is where I get to hear her laugh and play And if I don't take her there even when it's raining and it's cold outside now She asks me about Civic Park She does not live in the district. She lives in District 9 and I still drive all the way over there to pick her up So for anybody to try to take any money from another district, I get it I get it. We are all spokes in a wheel and to not hear a child's laughter and What Civic Park will be bringing and in the musical world? That that's really hurtful to me and to our future generations of San Antonians and Potentially people that we are bringing from other parts of the country to see the beauty that we all see I'm a San Antonio native and I'm so proud of this city and I'm so proud of our beacon of light downtown And I'm very proud of all the little jewels that we have in our pocket neighborhoods So for us to start hammering down and to say negative things about a park It's really hurtful and it's really hard for me to hear But to fully fund Civic Park is to fully fund laughter and to fully fund Music and items that we all enjoy and if you don't think that that's the case And you really should be walking around because it is one part that you can feel safe walking around right now at this time by yourself. I Can't say that about many parks, but I can truly say that about Hemisphere Okay Richard and then we're gonna go to a vote Okay, so let me speak my peace mr. Garza this particular situation I happen to have 14 grandkids Okay, so I'm a totally blessed man. I'm not rich, but I'm rich in other ways. I'm really totally blessed I love kids and and when you have a situation when we have an opportunity to provide this kids With some area where they can go and congregate and deal with each other all the way around Versus going out into the community into the rest of the community and not just in District 6 But all your communities all districts going off and doing those bad things that they that they want to do This is an opportunity to do something good for those kids And and they came here with good sense to try to get that done I Understand that the situation was regards to Hemisphere. I mean I agree with my colleague. I've been here I was born here in 1947. I've been here all my life Hemisphere is great Henry consul is a fantastic a congressman all the way around but You got to make room for the growth That's leadership future leadership that we're talking about here for young kids that we tried to make sure that they do the right thing solid say thank you very much and it comes down to this time where we have to make a difficult decision and and You know, it is because we are all so passionate about great spaces where people come together that we have been selected to be at this table and at this juncture and I think what's so important is that We recognize that that these decisions are not personal that these decisions are On ones that we have taken seriously and and ones that we You know, we take wholeheartedly And and I want to certainly impress that I think that the process that has brought us here has been Fantastic, it's been transparent and we have gone through it and we've taken it step by step and we have Made a decision to go one way and then, you know, we've had to make some adjustments And so I appreciate the patience that everybody has had in order to do that But I I sincerely hope that at the end of this that we look and and we figure out how that That if it doesn't go the way that that you hope We look how to come back and leave it as a priority because It's not necessarily that we didn't agree With it being important because I think we all do we just see that It's important that There are projects that need to be to be seen And to be well, I don't want to let me not go there I just want to I just want to state that We also need to leave this priority list For other projects because there are eventualities that happen And so I want us to make sure we revisit other projects because there are unfunded projects Just like the skate park that did pop up and staff has done a great job in vetting projects So I want us to be to leave this room Knowing that this was a good process So with that let's go for a vote Okay, so but we did have a motion Yeah We did have a motion. Yeah, okay, so with that Do we need clarification? Okay, so Claire for clarification We are voting on a reduction of the hemisphere Budget by one point five million dollars that would go to then the skate park By one point five million dollars. Okay, so with that All those in favor, please raise your hand That's okay Okay, all those not in favor, please raise your hand all those not voting please raise your hand We have Please raise your hand higher so that's okay. We've got Three four people not voting abstaining from vote The staff have that record. Do you need it raise again? We're for abstentions actually Olga Martinez Did not abstain. Okay So that motion fails Very good. Okay so That finishes number six All right, so let's finish number five and then we will be done The Okay, so Yeah, next the zoo garage next the UIW next the botanical gardens leave normal You're gonna have to nix the park package Okay now these moneys, okay, so we've already established that district one Graciously offered a hundred and fifty thousand Toward the senior the normal senior softball league District two, thank you so much for working with me and I really appreciate that as well We're going to take 250 out of the zoo parking garage. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you to nix it. That was my bet 250,000 from the zoo parking garage and that's it because we already have the other 150 and That's where it's gonna stay right now Well, I don't think that the 150 is already been voted on. I don't think they put it in there It was to fit. Oh wait. No, it's 250 and 650 and Then oh the 250 also goes to normal senior league. I'm sorry my bad. That's silly There we go. Now we're cooking with fire There you go Yay, we match numbers. I love it and then yes, it'll be a million five when it's done, okay So that's where we're sitting right now I did kind of walk around and ask if anybody would be willing to donate a little piece of their pie and unfortunately I didn't have too many takers, but I do appreciate those who were able to reach out and And offer some assistance Okay, so Do can I get a so it's so moved that this is their proposal Can I get a second to that please? Okay? Charles English is the second I'm gonna actually ask staff to please address The changes in the budget for each of these items The 250 from the garage and the park, please So the the garage if you combine both categories is a 12 million dollar garage, so 250,000 You know I we were very concerned when you were talking about a million to 50 probably workable If that if the committee wants to do something like that, it's probably probably workable It would still be three levels We would have to just look at everything to fit it within the budget, but we can expect to still get three levels And the the park reduction Right, so the normal senior league is at normal park normal park So this would be focusing the money to the senior softball league improvements versus the general park improvements. Okay, okay Yeah, same part same part. I think old I had it was first and then Charles So what is the total of normal park right now? You're at what Xavier will answer that So staff recommendation on normal is the full six six six fifty that was for just general park improvements within the park What district five is recommended that those be specifically? Designated to the senior softball complex that is also located at normal park Okay, we want to go ahead and take juke park was Had an increase and we want to go ahead and take one hundred thousand and go ahead and give it to normal Thank you so much. We appreciate your support We don't have that much so someone else should also go ahead and say hey, you know what? It is Christmas So we need to vote on this one first and then we need to do a separate motion for the other one But you just suggested We okay, so we're we because we already have a second We're gonna have to do that separately because we already have that motion as stated here So we're gonna have to do this first and then we'll We'll go we'll have to come back and and do that as a second piece Okay, Ken my Have a question So two hundred fifty thousand dollars. There's a there's a lot more than just the floors There were some safety sidewalks and crossings and you know to get people from the garage to the zoo There was a crossing to get to The Sunken Gardens, I believe right. So what's coming out of there? Well, either either something comes out because you're right. We've got street crossing improvements Connections to the second gardens as part of this Now it may require a fundraising effort, which there's no leverage currently in this project So it's a it's envisioned as a hundred percent city at 12 million So if the committee cuts 250 that would either I mean we would look at every aspect of the project to see if we can Cut the 250 back without cutting scope if we can if not it might take a fundraising element there to get to Do you remember the last fundraiser for a parking garage? We could put somebody's name on it. Yeah It's not easy but but the zoo is they are participating in and actually Building it and operating and maintaining the garage, right? No, this is yeah operations Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's their leverage their operating and maintaining it right I'm gonna stick with the rail plan or whatever your deal is and yeah, okay, so Olga before we do that. We're gonna just hold on that. We're gonna first vote on this spot on this package first Okay, Charles. Did you have a question or comment? On this piece only yes, I just want everybody is asking me are we are comfortable with that? Yes, we are I'm sure our council person would not Frown on the fact that we did this And we want to show that we are Sensitive to everything that's going on here. We appreciate being part of the process and We hoping and we want everybody to join us as we build toward our 2020 essay tomorrow and our tricentennial celebration because we only one city and so to attract and Entertain those 1.5 million people that projected to come we got to do something and we'll be remembered for what we did here today So that's what we're going to be a part of it. So the 250,000 we did Talk about my colleague here. Mr. Reeve are When they asked us 500,000 he said we'll give you 250. So that's how we got there. Thank you.
