[New Business]
NEW BUSINESS.CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO NEGOTIATE A HOTEL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND AMATEUR SPORTS FACILITY FEASIBILITY STUDY WITH CS SL NOT TO EXCEED $70,000.
AND CONSIDER AN OPTION TO ADD A COMPONENT TO THE AMATEUR OF SPORTS FACILITY FEASIBILITY STUDY.
CHRISTINE'S GONNA GIVE US AN, IN SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THIS, AND THEN WE'LL BE LISTENING TO BILL KRUGER IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
I DO NEED, I APOLOGIZE ON THAT, ON YOUR STATEMENT YOU JUST MADE, UM, WE ACTUALLY, THERE IS SOME CONSIDERATION, SO THERE WOULD NOT BE ADDITIONAL COST FOR THE, UM, CONSIDERATION OF, UH, THE IMPACT OF THE EXISTING OR THE SPORTS COMPLEX TO BE BUILT.
SO, UM, IF YOU READ THAT IN YOUR NEW REVISED PROPOSAL, UM, NOW AGAIN, THERE'S ADDITIONAL SERVICES LIKE WHAT Y'ALL ASKED ABOUT LAST TIME, BUT BASICALLY, UM, THIS PROPOSAL IS A REVISION OF WHAT WAS PRESENTED LAST MONTH THAT WAS TABLED TO THIS MONTH DUE TO SOME QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAD.
SO I SPOKE WITH BILL KRUGER OF CSL.
HE'S, UM, HERE WITH US ON ZOOM TONIGHT.
HE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE REVISION.
I DO WANNA JUST POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THOUGH, SINCE THE LAST, UM, DISCUSSION.
THIS STUDY OF THE POTENTIAL NEW HOTEL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, UH, IS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE MARKET DEMAND, SUPPORTABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS, COST AND OPERATING PERFORMANCES, UM, ASSET VALUATION, ESTIMATED COST, UM, AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS AND PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH HOTEL PROJECTS IN AUBREY.
AND THEN THE STUDY FOR THE POTENTIAL NEW INDOOR AMATEUR SPORTS FACILITY PRODUCT WILL INCLUDE MULTIFACETED MARKET-BASED APPROACH THAT FOCUSES ON THE SPECIFIC NEEDS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF EXISTING AND POTENTIAL NEW YOUTH AND ADULT SPORTS AND RECREATION USER GROUPS, MARKET SEGMENTS, BOTH
[00:05:01]
FROM LOCAL AND NON-LOCAL PERSPECTIVE.SO, UM, IT WILL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE OUTDOOR FIELD COMPLEX THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED, UM, AND BUILT IN A COUPLE YEARS, AND IT WILL, UM, WHICH INCLUDE OPPORTUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH CO-LOCATION, CROSS USAGE PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATION WITH POTENTIAL NEW INDOOR AMATEUR, UM, SPORTS FACILITY, UM, OPERATORS OR, OR PROJECTS.
SO JUST WANNA MAKE SURE, UM, WE UNDERSTOOD HOW THAT OUTDOOR COMPLEX WOULD BE WORKED IN.
UM, AND AGAIN, AS YOU SAW IN THE OUTLINE, THERE ARE ADDITIONAL SERVICES BEYOND THE SCOPE THAT ONCE THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, SHOULD YOU ELECT TO DO THAT WOULD BE FINISHED, YOU COULD ENGAGE WITH FURTHER SERVICES.
SO WITHOUT ANY MORE, UM, FOR ME, I'M GOING TO LET YOU ASK ANY QUESTION.
I'LL LET BILL INTRODUCE HIMSELF, TALK A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN Y'ALL CAN ASK HIM ANY QUESTIONS BASED ON THAT NEW REVISION.
WELL, UH, THANK YOU CHRISTINE.
I'M A SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT WITH CSL INTERNATIONAL AND ALSO LEGENDS GLOBAL.
OUR PARENT COMPANY, UM, LEGENDS GLOBAL IS BASED IN, IN FRISCO, RIGHT AROUND RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO YOU, UM, AT THE STAR.
AND SO, UH, I'M ACTUALLY LOCATED UP IN THE, UH, THE MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE.
UM, AND WE SUBMITTED OUR PROPOSAL.
UH, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE.
I'VE BEEN WITH THE COMPANY FOR 30 YEARS, UM, AND DONE PROJECTS, UH, THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
SO IT'S RIGHT WITHIN OUR WHEELHOUSE.
UM, I'M THE SENIOR PRINCIPAL AT OUR FIRM THAT DEALS WITH THESE KIND OF PROJECTS, AMATEUR SPORTS AND HOTEL FEASIBILITY STUDY AND ADVISORY WORK.
AND SO, UH, YOU'VE GOT A COPY OF OUR PROPOSAL.
WE'VE, UH, REVISED IT TO TRY TO MAKE THE SCOPE AND, AND, AND THE FEE PROPOSAL, UM, MORE IN ALIGNMENT WITH WITH WHAT, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I'VE BEEN HAVING WITH CHRISTINE.
SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS THAT YOU'VE GOT ABOUT THAT PROPOSAL.
BUT, UM, I'LL JUST LET YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO POTENTIALLY WORK WITH THE CITY AND, UM, IT'S, UH, IT'S ALWAYS AN EXCITING PROSPECT TO COME INTO COMMUNITY AND LEARN ABOUT IT AND SPEAK TO LOTS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE LIKE WE ALWAYS DO AT THE OUTSET OF OUR PROJECTS AS WE'RE GETTING THINGS UNDERWAY.
AND, UM, IT'S, UH, UH, THE HOPE WOULD BE TO FIND A PRODUCT THAT MAKES SENSE FROM A MARKET SUPPORTABLE STANDPOINT.
AND IT'S ALSO COULD BE FEASIBLE FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT AND IDENTIFY SOME, SOME, UH, YOU KNOW, POTENTIAL PRIVATE PARTNERS TO HELP DEFRAY SOME OF THE COSTS AND TO MAKE THIS PROJECT A REALITY IF, UH, IF, IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE FEASIBLE.
AND, AND CERTAINLY I CAN HELP OUT WITH ADDITIONAL STEPS ALONG THE WAY, UM, THROUGH, AS YOU MOVE TOWARDS IMPLEMENTATION, THINGS LIKE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AND, UH, MANAGEMENT AND OTHER TYPES OF ADVISORY SERVICES TOO THAT, THAT WE OUTLINED IN OUR PROPOSAL THAT WE COULD HELP IF YOU'D LIKE US TO, UH, BE INVOLVED, UH, ONCE A FEASIBILITY STUDY IS DONE.
SO I'D LOVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS NOW.
ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? I KNOW THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS.
UM, BILL, I, I JUST, I HAVE A COUPLE, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL START AT ONE.
UM, AS FAR AS THE HOTEL STUDY GOES, ONE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S ALREADY HERE IN AUBREY THAT IS KIND OF A NATION IN INDUSTRY IS THE B AND B INDUSTRY.
AND WE ALSO HAVE, I DON'T KNOW, THREE OR FOUR WEDDING VENUES THAT ARE HERE.
AND I'D BE CURIOUS TO HEAR HERE, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE HOTEL WE'RE LOOKING, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GONNA BUILD A RITZ CARLTON OR A MOTEL SIX OR WHATEVER, RIGHT? OR, OR THAT, BUT WILL SOME OF THIS DATA HELP US IF, IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WE LEARNED FROM THIS STUDY TO HELP GROW THOSE BUSINESSES, YOU KNOW, IN A NON-COMPETITIVE WAY WITH THE, I GUESS I'M NOT BEING THAT CLEAR, BUT YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M TRYING TO GO IS WE'VE GOT THESE THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY HERE THAT ARE DOING REASONABLY WELL THAT COULD BENEFIT IN GENERAL FROM A HOTEL OR OTHER THINGS.
WILL, WILL THE DATA AND HOW YOU COME TO YOUR CONCLUSION HELP US HELP THEM AS WELL? UH, TYPICALLY, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN I'M DOING STUDIES ANYWHERE, YOU KNOW, OFTENTIMES SINCE THE PROJECT DOESN'T EXIST IN A COMMUNITY THERE HAVE, THERE, THERE TENDS TO BE SOME LEVEL OF PUBLIC, UM, PARTICIPATION THAT'S REQUIRED TO REALLY, UH, BE ABLE TO EXECUTE A PROJECT OR TO LEVERAGE PRIVATE, PRIVATE DOLLARS ON THAT SIDE.
SO WHEN IT COMES TO BOTH THE AMATEUR SPORTS STUDY AND, AND THEN THE, THE HOTEL FEASIBILITY STUDY, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY WHAT THE GOAL WOULD BE IS TO TRY TO FIND THE RIGHT TYPE OF PRODUCT THAT'S DIFFERENTIATED ENOUGH WHERE IT COULD REALLY INDUCE NEW DEMAND AND NEW UTILIZATION AND NEW ECONOMIC IMPACT TO YOUR COMMUNITY AS OPPOSED TO SHIFTING AROUND EXISTING BUSINESS.
THAT'S REALLY NOT THE INTENT OF ANY OF THE STUDIES THAT WE WORK ON, IS REALLY TO FIND THAT, THAT KIND OF SWEET SPOT OR THAT NICHE IN TERMS OF PRODUCTS.
UM, THE HOTEL FEASIBILITY STUDY SCOPE OF SERVICES THAT I OUTLINED IN THE PROPOSAL,
[00:10:01]
UM, IT DOESN'T DO AS DEEP A DIVE INTO, UH, YOU MENTIONED A WEDDING VENUE OR WEDDING VENUE, RIGHT? AND OTHER TYPES OF MEETING SPACES IN THE COMMUNITY.YOU KNOW, I I ALSO DO FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR CONVENTION CENTERS, CONFERENCE CENTERS, THOSE KIND OF PRODUCTS THAT INVOLVE, YOU KNOW, UH, A VERY DETAILED AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF SURVEYS OR INTERVIEWS WITH MEETING PLANNERS OR CONVENTION PLANNERS OR SPECIAL EVENT PLANNERS TO, TO REALLY HONE IN ON THE UNIQUE MARKET DEMAND FOR THAT TYPE OF CONVENTION OR CONFERENCE OR SPECIAL EVENT FACILITY.
A HOTEL STUDY, WHICH TENDS TO BE PRETTY TRADITIONAL ACROSS THE INDUSTRY IN TERMS OF ALL DIFFERENT CONSULTANTS, OFTENTIMES DOESN'T HAVE THAT EXTRA LAYER OF THE, OF THAT TYPE OF INTERVIEWS AND SURVEYS TO REALLY HONE IN TO THE, THE, THE MEETING SPACE DEMAND AS A PART OF IT.
YOU KNOW, USUALLY IN SMALLER COMMUNITIES YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE NEED FOR A, FOR A FULL SERVICE HOTEL THAT HAS AN IN-HOUSE MEETING SPACE COMPONENT.
USUALLY WE'D BE TALKING ABOUT A HUNDRED KEY OR 150 KEY, UH, EITHER LIMITED SERVICE OR SELECT FOCUS SERVICE TYPE PROPERTY THAT TENDS NOT TO HAVE MUCH MEETING SPACE OR EVENT SPACE IN IT AT ALL.
IT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT THE, THE GUEST ROOMS, THE HEADS AND BEDS WITH THAT, WITH THAT TYPE OF PROJECT.
UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, UM, THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IS ANY OF OUR SCOPE OF SERVICES, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT WE DELIVERED AS A PART OF OUR PROPOSAL, IS FLEXIBLE ENOUGH AND WE ALWAYS MODULATE, UM, OUR SCOPE OF SERVICES UPON HAVING THAT KICKOFF MEETING AND SPEAKING TO YOU INDIVIDUALLY AND, AND OTHER LEADERS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO REALLY UNDERSTAND REALLY WHAT THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS.
AND SOMETIMES, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, THE SCOPE OF SERVICES WE ORIGINALLY PRESENTED ON THE AMATEUR SPORTS PROJECT, UM, EVEN THOUGH IT, EVERYTHING IN THAT ONE TALKS ABOUT INDOOR SPORTS, YOU KNOW, IT'S, I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF SITUATIONS WHERE THEY SAY, WELL, WE ALSO WANT YOU TO TEST, UM, SOME ADDITIONAL OUTDOOR FIELDS AS A PART OF THIS SCOPE.
AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO KIND OF, UH, HAVE THAT FLEXIBLE SCOPE OF SERVICES THAT CAN, THAT, THAT CAN ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES TO MAKE SURE AT THE END OF THE STUDY PROCESS WITHOUT ANY ADDED FEES OR TIMING THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO.
SO IF THAT'S A SPECIFIC POINT THAT YOU'D LIKE US TO GET TO, WE CAN CERTAINLY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT ASPECT AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR REPORT ON THE HOTEL SIDE AND OR THE THE SPORTS FACILITY SIDE WILL, WILL INTEGRATE ANY OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, UNIQUE KIND OF CONCERNS OR, OR ISSUES THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADDRESS WITHIN A PROFESSIONAL OPINION FOR US AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE WORK.
UH, QUESTION FOR YOU, BILL, ABOUT HOW LONG ARE THESE, I GUESS, GOOD FOR BEFORE, YOU KNOW, FIVE YEARS PASSES AND WE REALLY START TO SEE THE MOTION, THE, YOU KNOW, MOTION IN THE MARKET, WE NEED LIKE A REMIX.
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU GUYS COME BACK IN AND CAN DO SOME REVISIONS AND TWEAKS? ABOUT HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THIS STUDY WILL BE APPLICABLE FOR? YEAH, USUALLY THE, THE FOUNDATIONAL FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR EITHER OF THESE TYPES OF PRODUCT TYPES, THE RULE OF THUMB WOULD BE ABOUT FIVE YEARS.
AND, AND BEFORE YOU HAVE TO DO AN UPDATE, YOU KNOW, SO A FIVE YEAR TIME SPAN IN PRACTICE, HOW IT TENDS TO WORK FOR PROJECTS IS YOU GET THROUGH THE FEASIBILITY STUDY AND THERE'S LOTS OF STEPS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU OPEN A BUILDING.
AND SO IN MANY CASES, UH, YOU GET HUNG UP SOMEWHERE, WHETHER IT'S ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, UH, COMING UP WITH THE FUND FUNDING OR PICKING UP THE SITE, OR THERE'S POLITICS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE IT MAY, MAY KIND OF PAUSE BEFORE ULTIMATELY IT GETS, UH, SOME MOMENTUM AGAIN LATER ON.
UM, AND, AND SO FOR PROJECTS THAT I'M INVOLVED WITH AT THE STUDY STAGE, THAT'S, THAT CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD IN TERMS OF IMPLEMENTATION AND EXECUTION THROUGH CONSTRUCTION AND THEN OPERATIONS.
UM, IT'S VERY COMMON FOR ME TO BE IN A DEPTH ADVISORY ROLE, WHICH IS THAT LAST PORTION OF THE SCOPE OF SERVICES THAT'S OPTIONAL THAT WE CAN ADD ON AFTER THE STUDY.
UM, WHERE THEY, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE ALWAYS CONSTANTLY UPDATING THE PROJECTIONS.
THAT'S MORE PIECES OF INFORMATION BECOME CLEAR, UH, AND THERE'S MORE CLARITY ABOUT SOME OF THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE'RE MAKING.
SO IT'S NORMAL FOR A PROJECT UP UNTIL THE OPENING FOR, FOR, UH, VARIOUS ITERATIONS OF THE, OF THE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OR UPDATING SOME OF THE MARKET, YOU KNOW, UH, RESEARCH OR READJUSTING IT FOR A SMALLER PROGRAM VERSUS THE ONE THAT WAS OUTLINED IN THE REPORT.
SO, SO, YOU KNOW THAT, THAT'S VERY COMMON.
I WOULD SAY FOR EVERY PROJECT THAT I MAINTAIN INVOLVEMENT IN UP UNTIL IT GETS OPENED IS, YOU KNOW, I'LL BE DOING A, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND MODEL RUNS AND UPDATES OF CERTAIN AREAS AS NEEDED AS THE PROJECT COMES CLOSER TO, TO FRUITION.
BUT FROM THE CORE FEASIBILITY STUDY STAGE, IF YOU JUST WANTED TO GO WITH THAT TYPE PROJECT, USUALLY, LIKE I SAID, IT'S ABOUT A FIVE YEAR SHELF LIFE.
AND THEN WE CAN COME IN AT THAT, AT THAT POINT TO DO AN UPDATE, UM, OR EVEN DO A, A FULL NEW FEASIBILITY STUDY AT THAT POINT IN
[00:15:01]
TIME.THAT'S, THAT, THAT'S PRETTY COMMON TOO, WITH A, A NUMBER OF MY CLIENTS THAT HAVE HAD PROJECTS THAT ABS STALLED FOR WHATEVER REASON, FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS.
AND THEN AT THE END OF THE STUDY, EVERYTHING'S CONCLUDED, WHAT DO WE END UP WITH A-P-D-F-A PRESENTATION? A POWERPOINT, I MEAN, SO ONCE, ONCE ALL THE DATA IS IN AND YOU COMPLETE THE STUDY AND HAVE YOUR CONCLUSIONS, HOW IS IT PRESENTED AND DISSEMINATED? AND, AND SO WHAT'S THE BACK END LOOK LIKE? YEAH, YEAH.
SO FOR THE HOTEL, YOU KNOW, IF WE DO THESE STUDIES, UH, AT THE SAME TIME, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN DOING BOTH, SO BOTH THE HOTEL AND THEN THE AMATEUR SPORTS STUDY, SO WE DO IT IN A COMBINED EFFORT, YOU WOULD'VE THE OPTION TO EITHER HAVE THAT ENTIRE STUDY RESULTS IN A ONE SINGLE REPORT OR PRESENTA AND, AND PRESENTATION, OR YOU COULD HAVE THOSE SEPARATE.
I WOULD SUGGEST HAVING 'EM SEPARATE SO THEY CAN STANDALONE BY THEMSELVES INDIVIDUALLY.
AND THEN YOU CAN SHARE EACH OF THOSE WITHOUT HAVING TO SHARE A COMBINED SET OF, OF, OF, OF A REPORT.
BUT THE, THE HOTEL REPORT, YOU KNOW, OUR, OUR, OUR TYPICAL REPORT WILL BE, UH, SIX, UH, 50, 60 PAGES WITH AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.
UM, IT'S, UH, FOR HOTEL STUDIES, WE DON'T AS MUCH DO THE PRESENTATION WITH THAT.
WE COULD CERTAINLY DO THAT IF YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN RECEIVING A PRESENTATION ON ALL THOSE RESULTS.
BUT THIS FORWARD REPORT IS A VERY, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, VERY DENSE DOCUMENT WITH THAT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THAT, THAT HAS SOME GREAT TALKING POINTS INTO IT.
IF, IF, IF YOU WANT TO JUST FOCUS ON THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PART, AND LIKEWISE WITH THE AMATEUR SPORTS STUDY, THEY'RE EVEN LARGE, LARGER, SO YOU'LL GET A FULL WRITTEN REPORT WITH ALL THE NARRATIVE AND THE CHARTS AND THE DATA, THE RESEARCH THAT WE DID, THE ANALYSIS FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS, UM, AND ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND THAT WILL PROBABLY BE ABOUT 140 PAGE DOCUMENT WITH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.
AND THEN WITH THOSE, UH, OF COURSE WE CAN HAVE A PRESENTATION TO A SLIDE DECK THAT'S MUCH SLIMMED DOWN, UH, THAT I CAN SPEAK TO IN PERSON.
SO IF YOU'VE NOTICED THERE'S, UM, THERE'S VISITS INVOLVED USUALLY AT THE, OUT AT THE OUTSET OF A PROJECT, THERE'LL BE THE INITIAL KICKOFF VISIT.
THAT'S USUALLY A MULTI-DAY VISIT THAT'S TWO TO THREE DAYS, DEPENDING ON THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF GROUPS THAT WE'RE HOPING TO MEET WITH
DAY ONE WOULD REALLY BE MEETING WITH THE CLIENT GROUP, WHETHER IT'S, UH, IT'S, IT'S THE COUNCIL OR SOME SUBSET OF THAT, OR CHRISTINE AND HER, UM, AND, AND HER TEAM.
UM, YOU KNOW, BUT USUALLY WE WANNA START WITH A ONE OR TWO HOUR KICKOFF MEETING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH ALL THE DELIVERABLES, THE TIMING, THE EXPECTATIONS, WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SOME OF THE LOCAL STAKEHOLDER GROUPS THAT WE'LL BE INTERFACING WITH AT THE, DURING THE KICKOFF VISIT AND BEYOND.
UM, AND THEN ONCE WE GET PAST THAT SET OF MEETINGS ON DAY ONE, THEN USUALLY WE LIKE TO DO A COMMUNITY TOUR AND A WINDSHIELD TOUR AND DRIVE AROUND, UH, WITH, WITH, UH, WITH, WITH SOMEONE FROM THE CITY AS AN EXAMPLE TO, YOU KNOW, POP OUR HEADS INTO SOME OF YOUR EXISTING FACILITIES THAT YOU'VE GOT IN TOWN AND JUST KIND OF, UH, SEE DIFFERENT ASSETS AND SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE LAYOUT AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND IF THERE'S A SITE PICKED OUT, WE WANNA GO VISIT THAT SITE AND TO SEE THE ADJACENCIES AND THE TOPOGRAPHY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT USUALLY THEN THOSE, UH, ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE IN DAY ONE.
THEN DAY TWO AND POTENTIALLY DAY THREE WOULD BE THESE, UH, SMALL GROUP MEETINGS WITH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH SPORTS AND USER GROUPS AND, AND, AND SOME OF THE YOUTH AND THE ADULT, UH, CLUBS THAT, THAT MAY EXIST IN TOWN.
AND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE SCHOOLS, UM, AND SOME, SOME OTHER HOSPITALITY OR, UM, CONFERENCE AND MEETING PLANNERS, YOU KNOW, IF ANY OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO USUALLY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A SERIES OF MEETINGS THAT FILL UP AN ENTIRE SECOND DAY OR EVEN A THIRD DAY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
THAT'S NORMALLY WHAT WE LIKE TO TRY TO DO.
AND THEN WE'LL GO BACK TO OUR OFFICES, CONDUCT ALL THE ANALYSIS AND THE RESEARCH AND THE INTERVIEWS AND THE SURVEYS AND, AND DELIVER THIS REPORT.
AND THEN AT THE END OF THE PROCESS, WE CAN COME BACK, WE CAN EITHER DELIVER YOU THE FULL WRITTEN REPORT FIRST SO YOU HAVE TIME TO DIGEST IT AND THINK ABOUT QUESTIONS, UH, BEFORE I COME BACK DOWN IN, UH, IN PERSON AND THEN MAKE FINAL PRESENTATIONS.
SO EITHER IN, IN A PUBLIC FORUM LIKE THIS OR A TOWN HALL OR IN, IN MORE OF A PRIVATE SETTING, YOU KNOW, WE, WE CAN DO WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE ON THAT, ON THAT BEHALF.
AND THEN LASTLY, IS THE GOAL OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDY TO TELL US WHAT'S FEASIBLE AS OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, NOTHING FEASIBLE.
AND, AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS, LIKE WITH THE, UM, INDOOR SPORTS FACILITY, THE CONCLUSION IS TRYING TO DECIDE WOULD 30 COURTS WORK? NO, 10 COURTS, WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? ARE YOU TRYING AT THE END THAT NOTHING'S FEASIBLE? IS HOPEFULLY NOT THE ANSWER, BUT IT'S YOU'LL HAVE AT LEAST SOME RELATIVE, I DON'T KNOW IF CONCLUSION NO, NO, NO VIDEO FROZE.
YEAH, YEAH, I APOLOGIZE ABOUT THAT.
WOULD YOU BE HAPPY? WOULD BE HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO REPEAT WHAT YOU JUST ASKED.
UH, I WAS ASKING, IS THE GOAL OF THE REPORT TO TELL US WHAT'S FEASIBLE AS OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, THE CONCLUSION COULD BE NOTHING'S FEASIBLE.
AND I USE THE EXAMPLE OF SOME PEOPLE MAY THINK 40
[00:20:01]
COURTS WOULD WORK INDOORS, BUT ONLY 20 WOULD, OR 10, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IS THAT SO THAT WE AT LEAST HAVE SOME RELATIVE UNDERSTANDING WHEN PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY DON'T WE HAVE A 30 CORE FACILITY, WHAT, YOU KNOW, PROSPER DOES OR WHATEVER.I MEAN, SO IS THAT THE GOAL TO TELL US WHAT ACTUALLY IS FEASIBLE AS OPPOSED TO A, A YES OR NO CONCLUSION? UH, EXACTLY THE, THE, THE, THE, THE, THE ORIGINAL, UH, UH, POINT THAT YOU MADE.
SO, SO WHEN WE DO OUR STUDIES, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WORK OUR WAY THROUGH A PROGRESSION OF FEASIBILITY, THE QUESTION OF FEASIBILITY.
AND USUALLY THAT STARTS WITH MOST OR MORE THAN HALF OF OUR STUDY EFFORT, REALLY IS DRIVING TOWARDS ALL THE RESEARCH AND, AND ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO ASSEMBLE, COLLECT, AND ABSORB TO GET A CONCLUSION ABOUT WHETHER THERE'S ENOUGH INCREMENTAL MARKET DEMAND THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT A CERTAIN PRODUCT TYPE.
AND THEN ONCE WE KNOW THE TYPE, AND THEN WE CAN GO BACK AND THEN WE CAN RIGHT SIZE THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT OVERBUILDING, BUT YOU'RE ALSO FUTURE PROOFING IT IN, IN SOME RESPECT.
AND OFTENTIMES WHEN IT COMES TO LIKE A, A FUTURE-PROOFING AN AMATEUR SPORTS FACILITY, USUALLY YOU, YOU TEND TO THINK OF THOSE IN TERMS OF PHASES.
SO IF YOU'VE GOT AN INDOOR FACILITY, YOU'D WANT TO FIND A SITE AND YOU'D WANT TO HAVE THE CORE PHASE ONE OF THAT PRODUCT BUILT TO MATCH THE MARKET DEMAND TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH UTILIZATION IN THERE THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND INDUSTRY AVERAGES OF THE USE OF THAT TYPE OF SPACE.
SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE A WHITE ELEPHANT TYPE BUILDING.
SO YOU WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ENOUGH USAGE.
AND THEN, UH, IN TERMS OF A FUTURE EXPANSION, THEN YOU WANNA PLAN FOR THAT TOO.
SO MAYBE AT ONE END OF THIS INDOOR COURT FACILITY AS AN EXAMPLE, YOU WOULD HAVE A BIG PARKING PATH, AND THAT COULD BE THE PLACE WHERE YOU'D BE DOING AN EXPANSION DOWN THE ROAD.
I'VE WORKED WITH A NUMBER OF CLIENTS WHERE THAT EXACT THING HAS JUST BEEN HAPPENING.
ONE, ONE IS UP IN, UH, THE COMMUNITY FIRST CHAMPION CENTER.
THEY SOLD NAMING RIGHT FOR IT.
BUT THAT'S A PROJECT WHERE I DID A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR UP IN APPLETON, WISCONSIN.
I KNOW IT'S A FAR WAYS AWAY FROM TEXAS, BUT, BUT IT'S JUST A GREAT STATE OF THE INDUSTRY TYPE COURT FACILITY AND ICE COMPLEX AT THE SAME TIME, ALL MARRIED TOGETHER UNDER ONE ROOF.
UH, WHEN WE ORIGINALLY DID THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, WE SIZED IT CORRECTLY FOR THE TIME NOW SINCE I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF MOMENTUM THAT THERE ACTUALLY ARE OUR, IT HAVING TURN AWAY CERTAIN PIECES OF BUSINESS WITH THE COURT SPACE.
AND SO THEY'RE PHASE TWO NOW, WHICH IS, THIS IS GONNA BE EASY TO DO, IS JUST TO BA BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, KNOCK DOWN ONE WALL AND THEN JUST BUILD THE EXPANSION OUT INTO THE PARKING PAD AND, AND THEN REPLACE SOME OF THAT SURFACE PARKING WITHIN THE GREATER SITE.
SO, SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE GOAL IS, IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT TELLING YOU TO BUILD TOO BIG OF A PROJECT.
OR ON THE OTHER HAND, SOME CLIENTS SAY, HERE'S WHAT THE CONCEPT IS, TELL US THAT THIS IS FEASIBLE AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT MM-HMM
AND WE'LL COMMENT ON WHETHER THE BETTER SIZE WOULD BE SMALLER OR BIGGER OR DIFFERENT IN CERTAIN RESPECTS TOO.
THE HOTELS ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
THE HOTELS ARE, WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS, IN MOST CASES LIKE THIS, IF THE HOTEL PRODUCT DOESN'T EXIST IN YOUR COMMUNITY, USUALLY YOU'RE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT WOULD BE THE PUBLIC INCENTIVE REQUIRED TO TRIGGER PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT IN THE TYPE OF HOTEL PRODUCT THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO GET.
RIGHT? AND SO WHEN WE DO A STUDY, YOU KNOW, USUALLY WE'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCTS ARE YOU REALLY LOOKING FOR, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC ANSWER TO ME, THEN I'LL BASICALLY LOOK AT, UH, WE'LL RUN THE ANALYSIS OF WHAT THE HOTEL COMPETITIVE SITUATION LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT THE PRECEDENT OF THOSE PROPERTIES ARE WITHIN YOUR AREA AND BEYOND.
AND, AND THEN WE'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, WE'LL RUN IT BY YOU.
AND THEN IF YOU SAY, THAT'S FINE, WHY DON'T YOU ANALYZE THAT, THEN WE WILL GO AHEAD AND RUN OUR ANALYSIS FOR THAT TYPE OF PRODUCT.
BUT IT WILL LAND ON ESSENTIALLY TELLING YOU WHAT IS A PUBLIC INCENTIVE, OR WHAT IS A LIKELY PUBLIC INCENTIVE THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO TRIGGER THIS.
AND IN A LOT OF CASES, YOU KNOW, THE SMALLER THE HOTEL PRODUCT, AND LET'S JUST SAY IT'S NOT FULL SERVICE, SO IT'S NOT A, A, A STEEL AND CONCRETE TOWER TYPE HOTEL, AND INSTEAD IT'S A WOOD FRAME STICK, KIND OF A LIMITED SERVICE OR SELECT FOCUS SERVICE TYPE PROPERTY.
YOU KNOW, IN SOME OF THOSE CASES, REALLY ALL YOU'RE MISSING IS A SMALL INCENTIVE, LIKE, UM, A DONATION OF LAND OR SOME TAX, UH, REBATES, YOU KNOW, OR ABATEMENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO, TO REALLY, TO REALLY TRIGGER, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE TYPE OF PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT THAT COULD REALLY JUMP INTO THAT, THAT TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY.
BUT IF IT'S LARGER, THEN WE'LL OUTLINE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS AND WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS ABOUT WHAT TYPES OF INCENTIVES WOULD MAKE SENSE.
AND IN A FUTURE PHASE, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED ON THE, THE, THE AFTER THE POST STUDY KIND OF SERVICES, WE COULD HELP YOU.
I'VE, I'VE BEEN DOING, I'M DOING THIS IN FOUR DIFFERENT MARKETS RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK, WHERE I'M ADVISING A PUBLIC CLIENT ABOUT A P THREE TRANSACTION, WHICH INVOLVES THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, AFTER WE NEED THE HOTEL FEASIBILITY STUDY, WE KNOW WHERE THE CITY STANDS IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH IT MIGHT BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE US AN INCENTIVE.
[00:25:01]
TO THEM AND THEY OUTLINE SOME OPPORTUNITIES IN TERMS OF HOW THEY COULD ACCOMPLISH THAT.AND THEN WE'LL GO OUT AND WRITE AN RFP FOR THE HOTEL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY, AND THEN WE'LL SEND IT OUT TO ALL OF OUR CONTACTS WITHIN THE HOTEL INDUSTRY.
UM, AND SOMETIMES IT STARTS WITH THE REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST LETTER AS OPPOSED TO GOING DIRECTLY TO AN RFP.
AND OFTENTIMES WITH THAT RFEI IS LOW BURDEN ON POTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR HOTEL PARTNERS.
AND IT'S MORE OR LESS JUST SAYING, DO YOU WANT, ARE, ARE YOU INTERESTED POTENTIALLY IN THIS OPPORTUNITY? AND WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION IN AN INFORMAL CONVERSATION ABOUT IT? AND SO THOSE CONVERSATIONS THAT THEN I WOULD HAVE WITH THE PEOPLE THAT EXPRESS SOME LEVEL OF INTEREST IN THAT PROJECT ARE, ARE VERY, VERY HELPFUL AND VALUABLE FOR ALLOWING ME TO REALLY VERIFY AND VALIDATE WHERE WE STAND IN TERMS OF THAT FEASIBILITY GAP, WHICH AGAIN, IS WHAT THE, WHAT THE CITY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BRING TO THE TABLE TO EXECUTE SOMETHING, UH, SOME KIND OF PROJECT LIKE THIS.
AND THEN WE CAN WRITE A MORE DETAILED, MORE, MORE, UH, MORE EFFECTIVE RFP.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I CAN HELP YOU EVALUATE THE PROPOSALS THAT THEY COME IN AND WE CAN HAVE SOME SHORTLIST INTERVIEWS WITH SOME OF THE POTENTIAL HOTEL CANDIDATES.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THEN YOU COULD GO TO SELECT ONE OF THEM IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
AND, UM, THEN I CAN START HELPING YOU WORK THROUGH THE NEGOTIATIONS OF MOU DOCUMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND ROOM BLOCK AGREEMENTS.
AND THERE'S A WHOLE HOST OF THINGS THAT OFTENTIMES, UM, YOU'D HAVE TO, UH, CONSIDER BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY GET TO THIS EXECUTION OF A HOTEL PROJECT LIKE THAT MM-HMM
AND TO CLARIFY SOME OF THE, THOSE, UM, SERVICES THAT BILL MENTIONED WOULD BE POST SCOPE FOR SERVICES IF WE DID RFP.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE WOULD BE POST, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR BOTH OF THESE TWO PRODUCTS.
AND THEN ANYTHING ELSE BEYOND THAT? AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT A LOT OF CLIENTS, AND I WAS EXPLAINING THIS TO CHRISTINE THROUGH AN EMAIL RECENTLY, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IF, UH, IF THE COUNCIL HAS SEEN ANY OF THIS, UH, ANY OF THAT AT THIS POINT.
BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, SO THERE'S A PROJECT IN KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN THAT I DID THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR, UH, I WANT TO SAY NOW, IT'S BEEN ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, AND THAT WAS FOR AN INDOOR AMATEUR SPORTS FACILITY, ALMOST IDENTICAL TO WHAT WAS, WHAT WE'RE KIND OF OUTLINING WITHIN YOUR PROPOSAL RIGHT HERE.
SO IT HAD, I WANT TO SAY THERE WERE, UH, SIX FULLS SIZE BASKETBALL COURTS OR, OR 12 FULL SIZE VOLLEYBALL COURTS.
AND THEN IT ALSO HAD AN ANCILLARY INDOOR TURF SPACE OF ABOUT 20,000 SQUARE FEET OF TURF.
SO THAT WAS A BUILDING PRODUCT.
AND ONCE WE DID THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, UH, I WAS ABLE TO THEN, UH, GO ON, UH, UH, BE RETAINED BY THE SAME GROUP FOR THE POST STUDY ADVISORY SERVICES, AND I WOULD HELP THEM, UH, TALK THROUGH THINGS LIKE IN THEIR CASE, UM, YOU KNOW, MY RECOMMENDATION WAS TO, FOR THAT PARTICULAR TYPE OF PRODUCT, AND THEN TO ALSO, UM, UH, FORM A, A, UH, QUASI-PUBLIC AUTHORITY, A SPORTS AUTHORITY THAT WOULD REALLY BE THE OWNER OF THE PROJECT THAT WOULD ISSUE THE ISSUE, THE BONDS FOR THE, FOR THE CAPITAL SIDE, AND THEN ALSO BE THE OVERSEER AND, AND BE THE, THE, THE POINT PERSON IN TERMS OF GOVERNANCE FOR THIS, WHERE THEY WOULD ACTUALLY BE DOING EVERYTHING RELATED TO HIRING THE PRIVATE MANAGER FOR THE BUILDING, ET CETERA.
SO I, I HELPED THEM WITH THAT PROCESS.
THEY, I HELPED THEM WITH THE FUNDING AND FINANCING, UM, IN CER WITH CERTAIN RESPECTS.
AND THEN THEY, UH, ENDED UP SECURING THAT AND THEY HAD A POSITIVE VOTE FOR THAT.
AND SO, UM, NOW I'VE BEEN HELPING THEM WRITE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE RP FOR PRIVATE MANAGEMENT, THEY ENDED UP SECURING A PRIVATE MANAGER, UM, AND NOW THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD, UH, THROUGH THE, UH, TO BREAK GROUND HERE SHORTLY WITHIN, I WANT TO SAY ABOUT SIX MONTHS, THEY'LL BREAK GROUND ON THAT.
SO ALL THAT WOULD POST FEASIBILITY STUDY, BUT ALL THESE DIFFERENT SERVICES AND THEY'RE ALWAYS DIFFERENT.
YOU KNOW, IT IS ALWAYS DEPENDING ON WHAT THE PROJECT NEEDS AND WHAT, WHAT THE CLIENT IS LOOKING FOR IN TERMS OF MY GUIDANCE, UH, WITH THE POST SET OF SERVICES WITH SOME CLIENTS, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN ROLLING OUT A COUPLE YEARS, UH, BUT, BUT I ONLY HEAR FROM THEM MAYBE ONCE A MONTH WHERE I CAN OFFER MY 2 CENTS OR I CAN HELP THEM WITH A VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION OR AN ISSUE.
BUT THAT'S TEND TENDS TO HOW THEY, THEY WORK.
AND IN SOME CASES, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A BIG FLURRY OF ACTIVITY WHERE I'M GONNA SPEND MOST OF MY TIME FOR A WEEK OR TWO HELPING THEM TO GET OVER THE NEXT FERTILE IN TERMS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION KIND OF STAGE, UM, OF THOSE PROJECTS.
DOES THIS STUDY, UM, IS THIS A POST QUESTION OR A POST OPPORTUNITY, BUT THE SITE SELECTION OPTIONS, IS THAT PART OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDY OR IS THAT POST YEAH, WELL, THE, THE, THE SITE, WE DO HAVE A SITE, YOU KNOW, A, A TASK IN HERE.
AND, AND THE WAY THAT I'VE WRITTEN IT IS NOT A VERY DETAILED SITE ANALYSIS, RIGHT? 'CAUSE OFTENTIMES THAT'S REALLY NOT REQUIRED.
AND THAT'S THAT, THAT YOU CAN SAVE COSTS ON THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, THE PRELIMINARY STAGE TO HAVE ME, UH,
[00:30:01]
BASICALLY GIVE A RECOMMENDATION LESS IN TERMS OF HERE IS THE EXACT PARCEL THAT RANKS HIGHEST WITHIN A SITE MATRIX ANALYSIS OF A SCORE AND A WAITING SYSTEM, WHICH WE CAN DO, BUT I DID NOT INCLUDE THAT.USUALLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE CAN DO AS A PART OF, ONCE WE GET THROUGH THE MARKET DEMAND ANALYSIS, WE SHIFT TO THE NEXT, UH, TASK.
AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I CALLED THAT.
IT'S SOMETHING LIKE, UH, BUILDING PROGRAM CONCEPT OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND, AND LOCATION.
AND SO AS A PART OF THAT, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY WE'RE GONNA COME OUT AND SAY THAT BASED ON EVERYTHING WE LEARNED THROUGH THE MARKET ANALYSIS, THE BEST LOCATIONS WOULD BE LOOKING AT THESE AREAS.
AND YOU WOULD NEED THIS MUCH ACREAGE, YOU WOULD NEED THESE TYPES OF ADJACENCIES.
AND, AND, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE DID A COMMUNITY TOUR AND, AND HAVE SOME MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH, WITH YOU AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, YOU KNOW, WE COULD EVEN, YOU KNOW, UM, IDENTIFY CERTAIN PARCELS.
BUT THE NEXT LEVEL OF THE SITE ANALYSIS THAT SOME COMMUNITIES, UH, LIKE TO DO, THEY WOULD ADD THAT AFTER THE STUDY.
AND IT MIGHT BE A, A $10,000 EFFORT, $12,000 EFFORT, BUT IT WOULD BE VERY DETAILED WHERE WE'D BE PULLING ALL THE GIS OR ALL THE GIS DATA AND, AND, AND SPEAKING TO OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE TOPOGRAPHY, THE, THE GEOTECHNICAL THINGS, WHAT THE ADJACENCIES ARE, THE COST OF THE PARCEL, WHETHER WE HAVE TO ASSEMBLE MULTIPLE PARCELS, WE CAN DO THAT.
AND THEN WE'D LOOK AT A, A EVALUATING A SET OF SITES AND RANKING THEM THROUGH VARIOUS CRITERIA, UH, OF WAITING.
AND THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A, A A, A PREFERRED LIST OF SITES THAT ARE RANKED IN ORDER OF THE STRENGTH OF THE SITE.
AND, AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO, BUT, BUT IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN OUR SCOPE FOR OUR PROPOSAL.
BUT YOU SHOULD, YOU KNOW, WITH OUR STUDY, HAVE A VERY GOOD IDEA OF EXACTLY WHERE YOU SHOULD TARGET LOOKING FOR A POTENTIAL IN SITE BASED ON WHAT WE LEARNED THROUGH THE MARKET ANALYSIS STAGE.
I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING TIME TO MEET WITH US TONIGHT.
I, DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK YOUR PRESENTATION WAS VERY THOROUGH.
ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING? YEAH, I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION.
UNDER YOUR PER POED SCOPE OF SERVICES, YOU GOT MULTIPLE TASKS UNDER EACH THE HOTEL STUDY AND THE COMPLEX STUDY.
WHAT IS THE TIMEFRAME ON EACH ONE OF THESE TASKS? OR DO ALL THESE TASKS RUN SIMULTANEOUSLY? UM, AND I GUESS PART TWO OF THAT IS WHAT IS, WHAT IS THE TIMEFRAME ON EACH ONE OF THESE FROM START TO FINISH WHEN WE GET A FINAL PRODUCT? YEAH, I'M JUST LOOKING ON, ON PAGE 62 OF THE, THE PROPOSAL THAT I SENT YOU.
THERE'S, I'M LOOKING AT, I BELIEVE I PUT TIMING IN THERE, BUT MAYBE I DIDN'T, AND I APOLOGIZE IF I DIDN'T PUT TIMING IN THERE, YOU KNOW, BEFORE
AND, AND JUST TO ANSWER THAT TO FOUR TO 16 WEEKS, UM, AGAIN, IF WE DO THE STUDY TOGETHER, THAT'S, SOME OF THAT'S GONNA ALL BE DONE SIMULTANEOUSLY IS GONNA HELP.
BUT IF WE SEPARATE THESE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE EXTENDING THAT TIMEFRAME.
IF THEY'RE NOT DONE CONCURRENTLY, WE'LL JUST KIND OF HAVE TO STACK UP, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'LL, WE'LL, I BELIEVE THAT A AND B AND PAGE 61 TALKS ABOUT THE TIMELINE FOR EACH OF THOSE INDIVIDUALLY.
AND THEN 62 WILL BE THAT COMBINED EFFORT WHERE WE CAN, UM, YOU KNOW, HAVE EFFICIENCIES AT, WITH THAT ONE KICKOFF VISIT INSTEAD OF TWO PICKOFF VISITS.
BECAUSE, UH, WWW WITH THE HOTEL STUDY, I MEAN THERE, THERE'S, THERE'S LIMITED CROSSOVER IN TERMS OF COMMON ELEMENTS AND OF THE ANALYSIS, UH, THE BIGGEST ONE WOULD BE LOCAL, THE LOCAL MARKET CONDITIONS, UH, SECTION OF THE ANALYSIS THAT WE DO.
THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME, SOME SYNERGY WITH THAT.
SO THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG PIECES.
BUT IT'S REALLY JUST KIND OF THE LABOR AND THE TRAVEL, WHICH, UH, YOU KNOW, UM, UH, WE CAN REALLY GAIN, UH, A MUCH MORE EFFICIENT STUDY EFFORT IF WE HAVE THAT COMBINED AND NOT HAVE TO DUPLICATE THOSE EFFORTS FOR TWO DIFFERENT STUDIES SPREAD OVER DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS.
SO I THINK, IS THAT ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? OKAY.
Y'ALL SEE WHY I BROUGHT HIM ON THIS MEETING?
Y'ALL HAD A LOT OF GREAT QUESTIONS AND IT WAS JUST A, I FELT LIKE IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO HAVE BILL COME PRESENT TO YOU AND, AND GIVE YOU ALL THE RUNDOWN AND LET YOU ASK THOSE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AS IT WENT ALONG.
SO, UH, BILL, I APPRECIATE YOU JOINING US TONIGHT.
I KNOW YOU HAVE ANOTHER FUNCTION, UM, YOU NEED TO GET TO.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.
YOU HAVE A, HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
[00:35:01]
ALRIGHT.OKAY, SO JUST ONE OTHER THING I WANTED, PIECE OF INFORMATION I WANTED TO GIVE YOU BEFORE Y'ALL DISCUSS IS TO DO THE STUDIES TOGETHER IS 70,000 TO DO THEM SEPARATELY IS $22,500 MORE.
SO THERE'S A SAVINGS OF 22,500 TO DO THEM CONCURRENTLY.
AND IF I READ THIS CORRECTLY, HIS POST OPPORTUNITY SERVICES ARE A MINIMUM OF 30,000.
WE WOULD NEED TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT FOR MUCH LIKE WE DO OUR OTHER PERFORM.
OH, WE'VE GOT 20 WEEKS FROM SERVICE AGREEMENTS,
SO YOU PUT THAT FOR 20 WEEKS FROM NOW.
BUT I, I THINK AS YOU COULD HEAR WHAT HE WAS EXPLAINING, THERE'S JUST A LOT TO THE PROCESS AND SO THE TIME THAT THEY PUT INTO IT IS REALLY WHAT IT ADDS UP.
BUT IT IS A THOROUGH, UM, REVIEW OF OUR COMMUNITY AND WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE.
AND ALSO, IF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED IN YOUR PACKET, UM, HE IS FAMILIAR WITH DENTON COUNTY 'CAUSE HE DID SOME WORK FOR THE COUNTY TOO.
SO HE'S FAMILIAR WITH OUR AREA OF THE LAY OF THE LAND.
UM, SO SHE'S NICE AND HELPFUL.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THOUGHTS? WELL, I WAS GONNA ASK THAT, UM, IF WE DO AGREE TO THIS, ABOUT HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE THEM TO START P AND OH, GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, WE WOULD HAVE TO GET, SO WHAT SOMETIMES WHAT TAKES US A LITTLE LONGER IS WE GOTTA WAIT FOR THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AND THEN GET THAT ON AN AGENDA.
SO LIKE NEXT WEEK'S COUNCIL MEETING, WE COULDN'T GET THIS ON THE AGENDA.
WELL, WE COULD GET THE APPROVAL TO ENGAGE ON THERE, BUT THEN THERE'S THE WRITING OF THE CONTRACTS AND THE PROPOSALS AND ALL THAT.
SO IF Y'ALL, YOU KNOW, WE, I WOULD TALK TO HIM ABOUT HIS TIMELINE AND WHEN HE'S FIRST AVAILABLE TO COME TO TEXAS.
UM, AND THEN WE CAN WORK BACKWARDS FROM THERE OR FORWARDS WHICHEVER WAY.
BUT, UM, WE ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OTHER PROJECTS COMING UP WITH SOME FEBRUARY, MARCH
SO, UM, BUT I DO THINK WE NEED, IF WE'RE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU ALL DECIDE TO DO THIS, PROBABLY SOONER THE BETTER BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE WORKS, WE HAVE OTHER INTERESTS THAT ARE COMING OUR WAY.
SO IT WOULD HELP US TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION SOONER THAN LATER.
SO THE HOTEL IS 30, SO, AND YOU, SO WE CAN TAKE YEAH, THE HOTEL IS 37 5.
SORRY I WAS RUDE INDIVIDUALLY.
AND THE SPORTS WAS 55,000 INDIVIDUALLY.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANY COMMENTS? ANYTHING? ANYTHING, ANYTHING? NO, I THINK IT'S NEEDED.
SO LIKE SHE SAID, SOONER THE BETTER.
AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.
I'M SORRY? THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.
YEAH, THEY, WELL THEY'VE DONE A LOT IN THE AREA FOR SURE.
UM, IT'S PARTICULARLY OUR SIDE OF 35.
I MEAN YOU WERE SORRY, GO AHEAD.
I WAS GONNA SAY, I REALLY THINK YOU GOTTA DO BOTH.
I MEAN, NOT FROM THE DOLLAR PERSPECTIVE, BUT IT'S WHAT COMES FIRST, THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG.
AND SO, I MEAN YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET BOTH OF THEM DONE 'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA NEED BOTH OF THEM EVENTUALLY.
SO, UM, THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF SAVINGS.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, FROM A TIME STANDPOINT, IF YOU DO THE HOTEL NOW AND THEN YOU DO THE SPORTS COMPLEX LATER AND LATER MAYBE 15 WEEKS MM-HMM
RIGHT? AND THEN WE'VE LOST THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR SAVINGS THERE.
SO, UM, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD DEFINITELY BE DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
AND BASICALLY YOU GET TWO THIRDS OF THE $30,000 FEE BY DOING IT TOGETHER PROBABLY.
WELL AND THERE'S SAVING THE 20 GRAND THERE FOR SURE.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING HIM COME DOWN DOING BOTH OF 'EM.
UM, AND HAVING HIM INVOLVED IN BOTH OF THEM.
SO DO WE NEED TO, IF WE MAKE AN AMENDMENT HERE OR VOTE ON THIS, DO WE HAVE TO ADD THE ADDITIONAL COMPONENT NOW AS NO EARLIER? WE CAN DO THAT EARLIER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CONVERSATION I MENTIONED THAT COMPONENT ISN'T NEEDED.
THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT, WHAT THE CITY HAS PLANNED TO BUILD AND THEY'LL LOOK AT CROSS SECTIONS CROSS MARKET.
WHAT, WHAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO GO WITH THAT? OH NO, I MEANT, I MEANT THE $30,000 DOWN THE ROAD POTENTIAL.
[00:40:01]
WAIT UNTIL THE STUDY COMES BACK AND DECIDE WHAT YOU NEED.WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT UPFRONT.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THAT NOW.
SORRY, MISUNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION, BUT RIGHT.
YOU'LL, YOU'LL GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THAT STUDY AND THEN THE DIFFERENT SCOPE OF SERVICES THAT ARE OFFERED AND SEE WHAT WOULD MAKE MOST SENSE IF WE NEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD ON SOMETHING AND IF WE HAD A LEAD ON A, A SOLID LEAD ON A POTENTIAL PROJECT WHERE WE WOULD NEED THEIR ASSISTANCE WITH, YOU KNOW, ONE OR TWO ASPECTS, I WOULD DEFINITELY, UM, RECOMMEND WE WAIT TO SEE WHAT COMES BACK.
SO I HAVE THIS WRITTEN DOWN, UH, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO NEGOTIATE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CSL TO CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR HOTEL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND AN INDOOR AMATEUR SPORTS FACILITY.
NOT TO EXCEED $70,000 OR ANOTHER AMOUNT AS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD.
I HAVE A MOTION BY BROOKS, A SECOND BY TODD.
[Staff Report]
GREAT.OKAY, SO, UH, YOU RECEIVED THESE DECEMBER STAFF REPORT.
UM, SO IN THE INTEREST OF TIME Y'ALL HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT REPORT AND I THINK WE HAD A REALLY GOOD YEAR.
UM, SO JUST REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE Y'ALL TO KEEP SHARING THAT SOCIAL MEDIA, GETTING SOME GOOD COVERAGE.
UM, WE DID KICK OFF THE AUBREY LOCAL BUSINESS ACCELERATOR PROGRAM LAST WEEK.
IT'S A VERY GOOD GROUP, VERY ENGAGED GROUP.
WE HAD A COUPLE LATE REGISTRANTS AND WE HAD ANOTHER LATE REGISTRANT THIS WEEK.
OUR GOAL WAS 12, SO I FEEL LIKE FOR THE FIRST RUN AND BEING RIGHT AFTER THE HOLIDAYS IN THE NEW YEAR, WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD WITH REACHING THAT GOAL.
SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR HELPING TALK THAT UP.
AND UM, SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT WERE ARE IN THE CLASS EITHER CAME TO A CHAMBER, UM, OUR SMALL BUSINESS RESOURCE FAIR, UM, OR THEY'VE BEEN IN THE A CU PROGRAM, THE AUBREY CITIZENS UNIVERSITY.
SO WE'RE REALLY STARTING TO SEE THE COMING TOGETHER OF OUR NEW RES RESIDENTS WITH EXISTING AND THEY REALLY WANNA START THEIR BUSINESSES HERE AND BE IN AUBREY AND BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY.
SO I THINK THESE TWO PROGRAMS, A CU AND ALBA REALLY ARE GOING TO BE SOME CATALYST FOR BUILDING THAT COMMUNITY AND ENGAGING OUR NEW RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS.
SO THANK YOU FOR AGREEING TO START THAT PROGRAM.
I THINK THAT'S ONE OF Y'ALL'S BEST DECISIONS.
UM, SO I DO WANNA GIVE YOU SOME UPDATES ON OUR PROJECTS FOR BUILDINGS.
UM, I AM WORKING ON DEMOLITION BIDS FOR THE NINE 16 HIGHWAY 3 77.
UM, SO JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW AS SOON AS I GET THOSE BACK, I'LL LOOK AT THOSE, MAKE A DECISION AND WE'LL GET THAT PROJECT STARTED ON DEMO.
UM, THE DEADLINE FOR THE TENANT PROPOSALS FOR THE 2 0 4 2 0 8 BUILDING.
UM, I THINK WITH THE HOLIDAYS AND THEN JUST WITH PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THIS TIME OF YEAR Q2 IS ALWAYS WHEN A LOT OF THE BROKERS AND OTHER FOLKS START LOOKING AND GETTING ACTIVE AGAIN WITH INQUIRIES.
AND SO JUST THIS WEEK I'VE ALREADY HAD TWO INQUIRIES.
I THINK THEY DON'T HAVE, IT'S IN TWO WEEKS.
THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A PROPOSAL TOGETHER AND THAT'S, WE'RE PROBABLY NOT THE BEST, UM, TIMEFRAME.
SO, AND ALSO WITH MY TRAVEL IN FEBRUARY, UM, AND WITH US LOOKING AT ALSO THE GC CONTRACTOR, UH, BIDS, I THINK LOOKING AT LIKE MARCH 6TH, FRIDAY, MARCH 6TH FOR OUR PROPOSAL DEADLINE, IT WOULD BE RIGHT BEFORE OUR MARCH MEETING.
SO IF WE GOT ANY IN, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REVIEW THOSE AT THAT TIME.
UM, AND THEN WE WOULD'VE OUR MOST LIKELY ALREADY HAD OUR GC BIDS COMPLETED AND SELECTED.
AND SO THAT PROCESS COULD KIND OF START SIMULTANEOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THE CONSTRUCTION AND THEN ALSO IF WE HAD A TENANT PROPOSAL THAT WAS A GOOD FIT.
UM, JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU ALL WERE AWARE OF THAT, THAT THERE'S NOT ANY CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS ON THAT.
I'LL CHANGE THAT AS SOON AS WE CAN ON THE CITY WEBSITE AND OUR, THAT, OUR MDD WEBSITE PROPOSAL IS LINKED TO THAT.
IF YOU HAVE TALKED TO ANYONE ABOUT THE PROPOSAL, IF YOU'LL LET 'EM KNOW THE NEW DEADLINE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
AND THE SCHEDULE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR, AGAIN, WITH THE HOLIDAYS AND LEGAL REVIEW AND SOME OTHER THINGS, UM, PEOPLE BEING OUT, OUR REP FOR PARK HILL IS OUT ON PATERNITY LEAVE, CONGRATS TO HIM AND HIS WIFE.
UM, BUT THEY, UH, HE'LL BE BACK IN THE WEEK OF JANUARY 26TH, AROUND THAT LAST WEEK OF JANUARY.
SO WE WILL POST THE RFP, IT'S STILL IN LEGAL REVIEW, SHOULD BE DONE THIS WEEK.
UH, MAKE ANY REVISIONS TO WHAT THE COMMENTS WERE, POST IT JANUARY 28TH AND THEN WE'LL HAVE OUR MEETINGS TO REVIEW
[00:45:01]
STAFF AND, UM, WE'LL REVIEW IT WITH, WE'LL HAVE A STAFF PERSON REVIEW IT WITH US, UM, THE BUILDING REP AND I, AND THEN WE'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AND WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU.UM, IF WE CAN GET THE RECOMMENDATION MADE BY FEBRUARY 23RD, UM, WE CAN EITHER WAIT UNTIL THAT MARCH MEETING TO BRING THE RECOMMENDATION OR IF WE WOULD NEED TO HOLD A SPECIAL MEETING TO GET THAT APPROVAL OF THAT RECOMMENDATION AND TAKE IT TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
UM, AND FOR, UH, US GIVING, HAVING THEM GIVE PERMISSION TO CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A CONTRACT, THEN WE CAN DO THAT BASED ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT WE THINK THE TIMELINE WOULD BE BEST IF YOU DON'T WANNA WAIT TILL MARCH 10TH.
UM, BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, BASED ON ALL THE, EVERYBODY GETTING THEIR BIDS IN, ON TIME AFTER IT'S POSTED, UM, THEN, THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT RECOMMENDATION READY BY FEBRUARY 23RD.
SO, UM, I'LL GET WITH HOLLY AND SEE WHAT, WHAT DATES WE MIGHT NEED TO LOOK AT FOR A SPECIAL MEETING IF NEEDED.
CASINO NIGHT, YOU RECEIVED MY EMAIL.
HOPEFULLY, IS ANYBODY INTERESTED IN USING THE TICKETS THAT WE GET FOR CHAMBER? YOU'D LIKE SOME? YOU WANT TWO? WE HAVE EIGHT.
SO EIGHT YOU AND YOUR PLUS ONE
WE NEED, WE HAVE A TABLE OF EIGHT, SO, UM, IF WE DON'T FILL IT, TIM SAID JUST ONE.
WANNA GO? I'LL GET BACK TO YOU AS WELL POSSIBLY, BUT I CAN, I CAN LET Y'ALL KNOW.
THAT WOULD BE A PLUS ONE THOUGH.
UM, THERE ARE ADDITIONAL TICKETS, SO DEPENDING ON HOW MANY GET BACK THAT THEY NEED A TICKET.
THE ADDITIONAL TICKETS ARE $60, BUT IT'S, UM, YOU CAN STILL GET 'EM AND I THINK THEY'RE GONNA SELL 'EM AT THE DOOR IS FROM MY UNDERSTANDING.

OTHERWISE, I'M, WE'VE GOT SOME FOLKS WE WOULD INVITE TO BE AT OUR TABLE IF WE, IF WE CAN'T FILL IT UP, UM, IT'LL BE A GOOD FUNDRAISER FOR THE CHAMBER TOO.
SO I THINK THAT WILL BE GREAT.
UM, AND THEN THE AUBREY EDUCATION FOUNDATION EVENT IS ON MARCH 21ST.
TYPICALLY WE DO A SPONSORSHIP WHERE WE GET FOUR OR EIGHT TICKETS.
UM, THE SPONSORSHIP LEVELS CHANGED A LITTLE THIS YEAR.
UM, I WAS GONNA PLAN TO DO THE LEVEL THAT GETS US EIGHT TICKETS.
UM, SO AGAIN, IF YOU KNOW NOW THAT YOU WOULD WANT ONE OF THOSE TICKETS WHEN YOU CONTACT ME ABOUT CASINO NIGHT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO THAT I CAN MARK YOU DOWN.
UM, AND THEN WE'LL FILL THE OTHER SEATS AS WE NEED TO, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH EVERYBODY.
IT'S GOOD, IT'S GOOD MARKETING FOR US TOO TO DO THAT SPONSORSHIP EVENT, UM, GETS US SOME RECOGNITION AND THERE'S JUST A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE, UM, IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO IT'S A GOOD TIME TO, TO MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS AND SUPPORT THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION,
UM, 'CAUSE A LOT OF THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS BY THE WAY, DO GO TO THE CTE PROGRAM, WHICH IS A LARGE, UM, PURPOSE OF OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.
UM, THE CTE PROGRAM SERVES THAT PURPOSE.
SO THAT'S REAL IMPORTANT TO US AS AN MDD AS WELL.
UM, I DON'T REALLY HAVE, OH, OUR JOINT MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL IS SET FOR OUR REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 10TH.

WE, WE SET THAT, COUNSEL SAID THAT WOULD WORK FOR THEM AT THEIR WORK SESSION ON SATURDAY, SO.
BUT THEM, THEY MADE IT EASY ON US.
SO, UM, SO WE'LL LOOK AT THAT FEBRUARY 10TH.
AND THEN AS FAR AS SOME OF THOSE ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION, I THINK HOLLY AND I WILL, UM, LOOK AT SOME ITEMS WE NEED TO DISCUSS.
BUT I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MAYBE LOOKING AT OUR BYLAWS UPDATES, UM, ANY BUILDING PROJECTS THAT, YOU KNOW, FUTURE.
THAT WOULD BE
UM, ANY, ANY RECOMMENDATIONS WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE FOR THAT PROCESS, THAT APPROVAL PROCESS TO, TO MAYBE, UM, JUST REVIEW IT TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT.
[Future Agenda Requests]
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, RIGHT?[00:50:01]
BY LAW UPDATE GRANT'S POLICY, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE WHERE WE'LL DISCUSS THAT WITH THEM.WE COULD PUT THAT IN THE WORK SESSION.
AND THEN BASED ON DISCUSSION, IF WE NEEDED TO MAKE ANY ACTIONS, WE COULD IF WE HAVE IT ON AS AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA, CORRECT? MM-HMM
SO BYLAWS, GRANTS, UH, BUILDING PROJECTS AND I'M SURE, UM, WE MAY, UM, THERE MIGHT BE QUESTIONS OR ANY, SOMETHING ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY STUDY BASED ON, YOU KNOW, IF THEY APPROVE US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT EXPENSE.
UM, I'LL, I'LL HAVE THAT ON THE NEXT THURSDAY'S AGENDA.
