WORK CAN CONTINUE. >> C. COMPTON: DOES THIS ROOM HAVE A P.A. SYSTEM? WHERE IT CAN BE ANNOUNCED? JUST ANNOUNCED SO EVERYBODY CAN HEAR.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: WE NEED TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM WILL THAT WILL HAPPEN FIVE MINUTES BEFORE SO PEOPLE CAN GET INTO PLACE.

THANK YOU. >> P. RITTER: HERE'S THE PLAN, WE'RE GOING TO HEAR TWO OF THE COMMITTEE PRESENTATIONS.

THE REVIEW OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL REPORT FOR JOHN.

I WOULD LIKE TO SPEND 10 MINUTES AND OVERVIEW OF THE COMMITTEE INTEGRATION FOR MOUNTAIN VIEW AND CEDAR VALLEY.

AND THEN CLOSED SESSION AND COME BACK AND CONSIDER THE BALANCE OF THE ITEMS. JOHN?

>> VERY GOOD. IF YOU WILL, YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR -- YOU HAVE BETTER LOOKING COPIES THAN I DO.

BUT YOU HAVE YOUR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT THAT WE HAVE.

WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO WAS GIVE THE BOARD A CHANCE TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING YOU SAW IN HERE THAT WE CAN ANSWER OR GET ANSWERS FOR YOU. I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF TOUR OF WHAT I LOOK FOR WHEN I LOOK AT ANNUAL REPORTS AND SHOW YOU SOME OF THE INFORMATION IN HERE.

THIS CAME FROM THE A.C.C.T. PRESENTATION FROM KENYAN, WHO BASICALLY TALKED ABOUT WHAT GOOD INFORMATION WAS IN HERE.

I WANTED TO POINT SOME THINGS OUT.

TO ME, THE FIRST PART, IF YOU GO TO PAGE --

>> C. COMPTON: I HAVE A QUESTION, HAVE WE APPROVED THAT?

THE FINANCIAL REPORT OR THE -- >> THE AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED THAT IT BE APPROVED AT THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING.

SO THE BOARD MEETING IS WHERE IT ACTUALLY GETS APPROVED.

IF YOU TURN TO PAGE 14 -- >> CHAIR D. FLORES: FOR SOME THAT MIGHT NOT KNOW PAT AND HER ROLE IF YOU COULD INTRODUCE HER.

>> I HAVE BEEN YOUR DISTRICT COMPTROLLER FOR ROUGHLY 16 YEARS NOW. I CAME IN 20 YEARS AGO AS YOUR ASSISTANT COMPTROLLER. TOOK A SMALL STINT IN BUDGETING IN THE BUDGET AREA. AND I HAVE BEEN SERVING AS THE COMPTROLLER FOR THOSE YEARS. I HAVE A CPA.

AND ONE OF THOSE WHO HAS A CPA WITHOUT A MASTERS AND I CAN EXPLAIN WHY THAT HAPPENED. AND AS WHY YOU ARE DEALING WITH OTHER PEOPLE. I'M OVER A GROUP OF ABOUT 40 PEOPLE DIRECTLY. WE PREPARED THESE FINANCIALS.

WE WORK WITH IN CONJUNCTION WITH BOB BROCKMAN, WHO WORKS FOR TISKA. WE JOINED TOGETHER ONCE A YEAR AND GET CLOSE AND INTENSE AND WORK ON THE FINANCIALS AND BRING THOSE. I'M OVER THE GROUP OF CONTRAST AND GRANTS ACCOUNTING. WHICH WILL HAVE TO SAY THAT GROUP IS THE ONE WHO WHY YOU DO NOT HAVE FINANCIAL ISSUES IN THE

[00:05:05]

WE HAVE ABOUT A $2,000 PACKAGE THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY TAKING OVER, OFFERS 45 PROGRAMS A YEAR, WEBINARS WHERE WE GO THROUGH TRAINING FOR UNIFORM GRANT GUIDANCE, THE GUIDANCE THAT GOVERNS THE SINGLE AUDIT. AND OTHER PROGRAMS OF CERTIFICATION, DEAL WITH FINANCIAL AID DISBURSEMENTTS AND SEVERAL OTHER AREAS. WE'RE KIND OF THE UNKNOWN AREA.

WE TRY TO STAY SILENT. SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY THAT WE'RE DEADLY SILENT THE FACT WE SAY NO TO THINGS.

WE'RE PROBABLY, ALONG WITH THE BUSINESS OFFICES AT THE COLLEGE, WE'RE FRONT LINES FOR INTERNAL CONTROLS ON FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD PUT THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE BOUGHT YOU ALL HAD SEVERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. THAT'S WHY WE DO.

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: THE AREA 51 OF AUDIT.

FROM OTHERS. SO YES.

>> E.T. STANDS FOR EXTRA TIME. NOT EXTRATERRESTRIAL.

I'M GOING TO BRIEFLY GO OVER THIS.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO DO.

ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO BRING UP WHEN BEN WAS TALKING ABOUT THEY DON'T LOOK AT INTERNAL CONTROLS, THEY DO BUT THAT'S NOT THE PURPOSE OF THE AUDIT.

AS THEY ARE DOING THE AUDIT, AND QUITE FRANKLY, THEY HAD A CONTROL DEFICIENCY OF WHICH WE WERE NOT RECORDING THE TIME AND EFFORTS, WHICH IS BASICALLY AN INTERNAL CONTROL MAKING SURE THAT GETS DONE ON A TIMELY BASIS.

THE UDITORS DON'T LOOK FOR THAT.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS MAKE SURE WE PROPERLY REPRESENT THE NUMBERS YOU SEE. PAT AND I HAVE TAKEN A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS OUR AUDIT.

OUR AUDITORS AUDIT WHAT WE DO. THIS IS PERSONALLY THE NUMBERS WE SAY THAT WE WANT OUR BOARD TO KNOW AND THAT WE STAKE OUR REPUTATIONS ON. ONE THING ABOUT THIS REPORT, IT'S WHAT WE CALL ALL FUNDS. RESTRICTED, UNRESTRICTED, PLANT FUNDS, EVERY TYPE OF THE BUDGET. IN THE BUDGET WE TYPICALLY LOOK AT THE OPERATING DOLLARS, AND THAT'S WHAT WE CONCENTRATE ON.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS IN HERE, WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS ON AN ALL-FUNDS BASIS.

PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST SUMMARIES TO LOOK AT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED STARTS ON PAGE 14. AND IT'S CALLED THE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ANALYSIS. IT RUNS FOR SEVERAL PAGES THERE.

IT HITS ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS. IT IS ROUNDED.

AND IT ALSO GIVES THREE YEARS COMPARATIVE HISTORY WHEN YOU GET TO THE CAFR ITSELF, YOU ONLY GET TWO YEARS.

THE ADVANTAGE, IT GIVES YOU THREE YEARS TO LOOK AT, HICH IS A LITTLE LONGER TIME. IT IS ALWAYS LOOKING BACKWARDS.

THESE ARE NOT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

EVERYTHING HAS A END DATE OF AUGUST 31ST.

SO IT ONLY INCLUDES INFORMATION THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED THROUGH AUGUST 31ST. BUT THAT IS THE FIRST THING I EVER DO WHEN I'M LOOKING INTO A CAFR IS READ THE MDNA, LOOKING AT THE COMPARATIVE DATA IN THERE.

IF YOU GO, THERE IS THREE BASIC STATEMENTS, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CALLED EXHIBITS, STARTING ON PAGE 29.

29 EXHIBIT 1 IS CALLED THE STATEMENTS OF NEPSITION.

FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME, THIS IS THE BALANCE SHEET.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: BEFORE YOU GET THERE, ON PAGE 14, DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, OVERVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

AND YOU LIST THE COLLEGES. ONCE WE FULLY TRANSITION TO THE ONE COLLEGE, WILL WE STILL DO OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PER PROGRAM? >> YES, BECAUSE THAT IS IMPORTANT TO OUR HISTORY. IT IS NOT ABOUT SINGLE ACCREDITATION. THIS AUDIT ISN'T REALLY ABOUT SINGLE ACCREDITATION. THIS AUDIT IS ABOUT THE HISTORY, THAT PORTION OF IT, THE HISTORY OF THE OPERATION.

>> THE COLLEGES WILL STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUDGETS AND

INTERIM OPERATIONS. >> IF YOU JUMP TO PAGE 29, THIS IS REFERRED TO IN THE COMMON WORLD AS A BALANCE SHEET.

IT SHOWS ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. DOWN AT THE VERY BOTTOM IT SHOWS HOW MUCH MONEY YOU PROVIDED INTO WHAT WE'VE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS FUND BALANCE, A CHANGE IN NET POSITION.

FUND BALANCE ISN'T REALLY USED, IT'S NET POSITION.

IF YOU LOOK DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE ACTUALLY

[00:10:01]

I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO PUBLICLY REFER TO THIS AS MUM MOW JUMBO ACCOUNTING. PART OF THIS IS WHETHER THE STTHESTATE WOULD HAVE A CLAIM. WE NOT ONLY HAVE A PENSION LIABILITY, WE HAVE THE HEALTH CARE LIABILITY THAT'S THROWN ON TOP, WHICH IS MORE THAN OUR PENSION LIABILITY.

SO THE WHOLE STATE OF TEXAS, PAT HELP ME WITH THIS, HAS 50-$60 BILLION OF UNFUNDED PENSION LIABILITY.

IT'S A LARGE NUMBER. THIS IS ONLY OUR APPORTIONINATE SHARE. THESE ARE NUMBERS THAT MAKE A CLAIM ON UR ASSETS THAT QUITE FRANKLY, I DON'T THINK WILL EVER MATERIALIZE. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE STARTED CHANGING THE REVERSES, THE CASH REVERSES WE WANTED TO SEE BECAUSE IN THERE BEFORE IT SAID YOU WILL KEEP A FUND BALANCE, WHICH IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS NET POSITION OF FOUR TO SIX MONTHS. WE DON'T AVE FOUR TO SIX MONTHS OF THE NET POSITION, THOSE LIABILITIES ARE AGAINST THEM.

HOWEVER, SINCE I WILL TELL YOU I FIRMLY BELIEVE BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A COURT CASE WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED YET, ANYBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO MAKE A CLAIM ON THE LIABILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES AT THIS TIME. SO THAT MONEY IS STILL AVAILABLE TO YOU. IT'S IN OUR CASH, IT'S NVESTED, IT'S MONEY WE HAVE. BUT WE HAVE TO SHOW THIS AS REQUIRED BY THE SMART PEOPLE AT THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD BOARD, WHICH ARE A LOT SMARTER PEOPLE THAN I AM ABOUT MAKING THESE CLAIMS. IF THEY COULD, THE STATE COULD DO AWAY WITH PENSION PROGRAMS LIKE THEY DID IN BUSINESS 40 YEARS AGO. THEY WENT TO 401K.

BUT THEY MAINTAIN IT. WE KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THOSE AS WE MOVE ALONG. LET'S LOOK AT THE NEXT PAGE ON THE INCOME STATEMENT, PAGE 31. I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE FOUNDATIONS. BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW TO FIND INFORMATION TO SEE. IF YOU GO TO THE FIRST LINE IN THERE, IT SAYS, OPERATING REVENUES, IT SAYS TUITION AND CHARGES. THERE IS A FIGURE FOR 2019 OF $71,216,814. NOW, JUMP BACK TO PAGE 119.

KIND OF HOLD THOSE TWO PAGES TOGETHER.

THESE ARE ADDITIONAL SCHEDULES WE PROVIDE, THERE IS FOUR OF THEM. THAT BASICALLY DELINEATE THE AMOUNTS YOU SEE ON SCHEDULES R EXHIBITS 1, 2, AND 3.

AND WHAT YOU CAN DO IS BASICALLY FIND THAT 71,000, IF YOU LOOK IN THE FIRST COLUMN OF THE UNRESTRICTED AMOUNTS, ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE WAY DOWN, TOTAL TUITION AND FEES, $71,216,814 WHICH TIES BACK. ABOVE IT, IS ALL THE GROSS REVENUES AND CHARGES AGAINST REVENUES THAT WERE MADE, SUCH AS THIS COUNTS AS THE STATE REQUIRES US TO GIVE, WAIVERS, OUR LOCAL WAIVERS THE BOARD HAS AGREED TO GIVE, SUCH AS EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL WAIVERS. THE NUMBERS YOU SEE HAVE BACK UPS SOMEWHERE IN HERE. ON ANOTHER CASE YOU COULD LOOK AT THE BOND WE HAD AND THERE ARE SECTIONS THAT SHOW ABOUT THE BOND INFORMATION. IF YOU, AND I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS FAST. STARTING ON PAGE 36, THERE ARE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

BASICALLY ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE IN EXHIBITS 1, 2, AND 3,

[00:15:02]

I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT CASH. CASH WENT UP THIS PAST YEAR ALMOST $103 MILLION. WHY DID IT GO UP SO MUCH? IN THE NOTE THEY WILL TALK ABOUT THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO EARN A BETTER RATE OF RETURN IN OUR INVESTMENT POOLS THAN GOING OUT LONG-TERM IN INVESTING ONE YEAR, TWO YEAR, THREE YEAR MATURITIES. WE EPT MORE MONEY IN OUR POOL, CONSIDERED TO BE A CASH BASIS TYPE OF ACCOUNT.

THERE WILL BE A NOTE, THERE WILL BE SOMETHING IN THERE THAT EXPLAINS WHAT WE DO. WE ALSO EXPLAIN IT IN THE MDNA.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ A LOT, READ THAT.

THE NEXT PART I'M GOING TO COVER, THIS IS WHAT I REALLY LOVE AND I SUGGEST BOARD MEMBERS, JUMPING TO PAGE 125.

YOU WILL HAVE ABOUT 15 OR 20 PAGES AFTER THAT OF WHAT ARE CALLED SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES. ONE OF THE REASONS OUR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT IS CALLED A COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT IS THAT WE PROVIDE THIS 10-YEAR HISTORY OF VARIOUS SCHEDULES. THE FIRST ONE JUST COVERS BASICALLY BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION TALKING ABOUT WHAT OUR TOTAL NET POSITION IS. YOU CAN GO THROUGH THESE, LOOK AT THE REVENUES BY SOURCE. I WILL POINT OUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE TYPICALLY LIKE TO KNOW IS WHAT MAKES UP YOUR IF YOU GO TO PAGE 135, WHO ARE THE PRINCIPLE TAXPAYERS? THE LIST OF THE TOP-10 TAXPAYERS, WITH THE CURRENT YEAR, THERE IS MORE THAN 10 BECAUSE PRIOR YEARS OTHERS WERE ON THERE. WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS WHO ARE THE COMPANIES, ARE THEY VIABLE COMPANIES, AND WHAT IS YOUR MIX OF THE INDUSTRIES THEY SERVE? IF YOU HAVE A CONCENTRATED, AND I'LL USE AN EXAMPLE I KNOW WELL, HOUSTON WAS ALL OIL RELATED YEARS AGO.

WHEN THE BUST CAME IN THE 1980'S, TA19XES WERE TERRIBLE BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WERE CONCENTRATED IN ONE INDUSTRY. WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD MIXTURE.

A COUPLE UTILITIES, AVIATION, RETAIL.

SEVERAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AND NATURAL GAS UTILITY.

NICE IT COVERS VARIOUS AREAS OF INDUSTRIES.

ONE OF THE OTHER SCHEDULES THAT WE PRODUCE THAT NOBODY ELSE DOES IS IF YOU GO TO PAGE 144. WE SHOW HOW MUCH THE STATE PAYS AND HOW MUCH THE DISTRICT PAYS FOR EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT AND HEALTH CARE EXPENSE. THE NUMBERS I WANT TO SHOW YOU AND I PLOT THIS ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE YEAR 2000, JUST SO YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO BACK TO THE YEAR 2010 AND GO DOWN TO HE LAST DOUBLE-BAR LINE, WHICH IS COST OF PROVIDING ALL BENEFITS, IN 2010, THE TOTAL WAS $35 MILLION. THE DISTRICT PAID $9 MILLION AND FOLLOW THAT LINE ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT.

IT'S NOW 60 MILLION, THE STATE IS PAYING 26, AND THE DISTRICT IS PAYING 37. YOU O BACK TO ABOUT 2000, WE ACTUALLY PAID FOR HEALTH CARE AND PENSION BENEFITS ABOUT $600,000 A YEAR. STATE PICKED UP THE REST.

>> DO WE HAVE ANY INFLUENCE OVER THE PURCHASING?

HEALTH CARE PURCHASING? >> NONE WHATSOEVER.

WE HAVE TO BE PART OF ERS. WE CAN'T GO OUT ON OUR OWN, AND WE HAVE TO BE PART OF TRS FOR RETIREMENT:

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: THEY ARE THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT BOARD?

>> THEY DO. VERY POWERFUL FROM THAT

STANDPOINT. >> THESE ARE CHANGE ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO. IN 2012, WAS WHEN GOVERNOR PERRY WENT TO THE PROPORTIONALITY RULE, UNIVERSITIES HAD A PROPORTIONALITY OF HOW MUCH STATE REVENUE TO TOTAL REVENUES AND BENEFITS BASED ON THAT PROPORTIONALITY.

HE WANTED COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO HAVE THE SAME THING EVEN THOUGH

[00:20:04]

BUT HE WANTED TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.

THEY NEGOTIATED A 50/50 SHARE, THAT'S BEEN IN PLACE BASICALLY SINCE 2012. IT IS NOT EXACTLY A 50/50 SHARE IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, THEY HAVE PERCENTAGES ON THERE, BUT IT'S CLOSE. I THINK RIGHT NOW IT'S RUNNING 56 TO 44. BUT IT'S OVERALL, SOME THINGS THEY DON'T COVER IN HEALTH CARE BENEFITS.

AND WE HAVE TO PAY THE WHOLE AMOUNT.

BUT IN ESSENCE IT'S PRETTY MUCH OF THOSE ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES, IT'S A 50/50 SHARE. THERE ARE SEVERAL OF THESE.

ANOTHER ONE IF YOU GO OVER TO PAGE 147, WHERE DO STUDENTS TRANSFER TO IN SENIOR INSTITUTIONS.

THERE IS A LIST OF TOTAL TRANSFERS.

MOSTLY WITH 10 YEARS WORTH OF HISTORY F WHAT THEY HAVE.

TO ME, ONE OF THE OST IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE WHOLE CAFR FOR A BOARD TO LOOK AT AND WE GET THE COMPREHENSIVE TITLE ON OURS BECAUSE WE PROVIDE SCHEDULES. THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR AN AUDIT. THE AUDITORS LOOK AT THEM BUT THEY ARE OUR INFORMATION AND MANY COME STRAIGHT FROM THE AUDIT ANYWAY. LASTLY, THE PART WE'RE MOST PROUD OF I GUESS IS ON PAGE 11. EIGHT YEARS AGO WE STARTED APPLYING FOR THE GFOA AWARD OF EXCELLENCE FOR THIS REPORT.

WE'VE BEEN AWARDED IT EIGHT YEARS IN A ROW.

THANK YOU, PAT. >> THANK YOU, JOHN.

>> AND THE OTHER PA PART OF THIS WE HAVE A CEREMONY WHERE WE PUT ALL THAT TOGETHER. BUT IT'S REALLY THE COMBINATION OF PAUL, OUR EXTERNAL AUDITORS, ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WORK IN PAT'S AREA AND THROUGHOUT BUSINESS AFFAIRS THAT HELP TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. YOU WONDER WHY IT TAKES SO LONG.

THE YEAR ENDS AUGUST 31ST. WE DON'T ACTUALLY CLOSE THE BOOKS UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE BOOKS.

BETWEEN OCTOBER 1ST AND NOVEMBER 25TH, SIX WEEKS, THIS THING HAS TO BE PUT TOGETHER. AND IT'S A HUE MUNGGAS JOB, MAKING SURE THE NUMBERS AGREE AND TIE ON THIS.

ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAD, I CAN LOOK AT THIS LATER IN MORE

TIME IF YOU WOULD LIKE? >> I NOTICED ON PAGE 31, ON THE TUITION CHARGES, THEY DROP FROM 76 MILLION IN '18 TO 71 IN '19.

>> THIS IS NET TUITION. IF YOU LOOK --

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: WHAT PAGE? >> 31.

TALKING ABOUT THE INCOME STATEMENT AND WHY DID TUITION GO DOWN FROM ONE YEAR TO THE OTHER. IT IS ENROLLMENT GROWTH CAME FROM P-TECH AND OTHER COLLEGE HHIGH SCHOOLS.

>> PAGE 119, THE WAIVERS AND TITLE FOUR, YOU CAN TELL HOW MUCH, THE PELL, THERE IS DETAILS AND IT'S COMPARATIVE.

>> GREAT. THANKS.

>> THOSE FOUR SCHEDULES AT THE END INCLUDED BACK THERE REALLY PROVIDE A LOT OF DETAILS INFORMATION I USE TO COMPARE OURSELVES. THE ADVANTAGE OF THE CAFR IS HOW WE COMPARE TO THE OTHER 50 DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO THIS THE SAME.

IT'S ALSO HOW WE COMPARE NATIONALLY.

NOT EVERYBODY HAS THE SAME STATE RULES, THE FINANCIAL REPORTING IS ALL SIMILAR IN HOW WE REPORT THINGS ON A NATIONAL BASIS.

SO THE DOCUMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I'M DONE. >> D. ZIMMERMANN: WE SHOULD CARRY THIS WITH US EVERYWHERE WE GO?

>> I DO BUT IT'S ON MY LAPTOP. >> I THINK.

THIS IS AN IMPRESSIVE DOCUMENT AND A LOT OF WORK AND INFORMATION. IT'S A LOT FOR A BOARD MEMBER TO DIGEST IN A COUPLE OF DAYS TOO. YOUR ORIENTATION WAS VERY, VERY HELPFUL. MAYBE NEXT MONTH IT WOULD BE GOOD TO JUST LIKE PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA AGAIN.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS ON IT AND YOU KNOW, GIVE US A CHANCE TO DIG INTO THE DATA. THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU. THIS IS THE TYPE OF DOCUMENT THAT HELPS INFORM FUTURE POLICY DECISIONS.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE VERY HIGH LEVEL OF CASH RESERVES IS A ISCUSSION WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LATER ABOUT WHAT LEVEL OF CASH RESERVES DO WE WANT TO KEEP. IS THERE ANYTHING FROM THE RECENTLY-COMPLETED CYCLE THAT YOU THINK WE OUGHT TO

[00:25:02]

>> THE BUDGETING PROCESS, WHICH IS REALLY MORE AT THE LOCALIZED OPERATING FUND LEVEL, THERE IS NOT ANY REAL THING WE FOUND IN HERE THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE SOME OF THAT.

AND PART OF THE ISSUE I'VE HAD WITH THIS IS I'M BIPOLAR SOMETIMES BECAUSE WHEN I'M DOING THIS AND THE BUDGET T THE SAME TIME, I'M LOOKING BACK AND FORWARD THREE YEARS.

YOU HAVE TO KIND OF JUDGE WHAT YOU ARE DOING AS YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT. BUDGETS ARE REALLY FORWARD LOOKING DOCUMENTEDS, AND THIS IS A REAR VIEW LOOKING DOCUMENT.

BUT PART OF IT IS DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE.

LOOK AT THE HISTORY AND WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

WE USE IT FROM THAT STANDPOINT. THE BUDGET DOCUMENT IS TYPICALLY OPERATES ONLY ON THIS.

THE OPERATING DOLLARS. THE MAJOR PORTION.

BUT IT'S THE CONTROLLABLE PORTION BY THE BOARD.

BUT THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS ALL FUNDS, AND THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE GET MIXED UP SOMETIMES IS NOT UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN THE TWO. >> P. RITTER: ONE LAST QUESTION.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS. WE HAVE DISCUSSED AS THE BOARD IN TERMS OF FINANCIAL REPORTS AND BUDGETING MOVING TOWARDS SEPARATION OF OUR CAPITAL BUDGET FROM OPERATIONS AND HOW WE LOOK AT THAT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DISCUSSION WE HAD LAST TIME, THE DEGREE WE'RE SPENDING RESERVES THAT WE'RE DOING IT IN A VERY TRANSPARENT WAY.

AND KIND OF ON THINGS THAT WILL ENDURE AS OPPOSED TO ONGOING OPERATIONS. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CONTEMPLATE THAT OR PROGRESS IN TERMS OF FINANCIAL REPORTING AND

BUDGETING? >> I THINK EVERYTHING YOU WILL SEE IN THE NEXT -- WELL, WE CALLED IT THE BUDGET BOOK FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THAT'S ONE PORTION.

WE NOW HAVE A PLANNING BOOK. IT STARTS WITH THE EDUCATION PLAN. AND THAT WILL HELP DRIVE THE CAPITAL BUDGET PLAN ALONG WITH HOW MUCH CAN THE BUDGET AFFORD? ALONG WITH OUR H.R. PLAN, OUR PERSONNEL PLAN, I.T., SUSTAINABILITY, IT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING TO DOING IS DEVELOPING AND WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER THIS NEXT, IS STARTING WITH THE WHOLE IDEA OF WHAT DO E DO WITH A WHOLE CAMPUS INTEGRATION STRATEGY AS WE TALK ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL FACILITY PROJECTS WE'RE TRYING TO DO. DOES IT MATCH TOGETHER? DOES IT FUND TOGETHER IN WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO? IT'S BASICALLY BEING EXPANDED FROM JUST THE BUDGET BOOK AND TALKING ABOUT THE -- HUGE IMPROVEMENT I THINK.

NOW GOING INTO THE WHOLE PLANNING PROCESS OF WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. WE WON'T DO MASTER PLANS EVERY YEAR. BUT WE HAVE TO REVIEW THEY ARE

[B. Community Integration Strategy Planning Summary for Mountain View and Cedar Valley Presenters: Beatriz Joseph, Joe Seabrooks, John Robertson, Paris Rutherford (Catalyst Urban Development)]

WE DON'T WANT TO SAY, THAT'S IT, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT

CONSTANTLY. >> P. RITTER: THANK YOU, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE AWARD. THAT'S A BIG DEAL.

YOU ARE SORT OF LIKE THE OPERATING SYSTEM OF THE DISTRICT. IT JUST NEEDS TO WORK.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S WORKING WELL.

APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS AND YOUR TEAMS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WILL HAYES IS HERE. PARIS RUTHERFORD WORKED WITH US ON THE EASTFIELD, THE GATEWAY CONCEPT.

WE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT FROM THAT.

TAKING THE IDEA HOW WE INTEGRATE OURSELVES WITH THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES OUR STUDENTS NEED AND THE COMMUNITY NEEDS. WE DON'T GO INTO APPROVAL.

THIS IS A LIVING DOCUMENT. AS YOU START TO DECIDE TO PUT BUILDINGS IN VARIATION LOCATIONS, IF YOU HAVE A MASTER PLAN FOR ALL OF THE ACREAGE YOU HAVE, DR. JOSEPH, YOU GOT

250 ACRES, APPROXIMATELY? >>

>> WHERE DID YOU GET THE EXTRA TWO? 252 ACRES IN CEDAR VALLEY. PARIS WILL TALK ABOUT, WE'RE

[00:30:07]

GET 250 ACRES AND STICK THE BUILDINGS IN THE MIDDLE AND MOTES AND GATES. THAT IS NOT THE WAY THINGS EED

TO GO. >> D. ZIMMERMANN: IT KEEPS

SECURITY COSTS DOWN. >> IT COULD BE FROM THAT STANDPOINT. BUT FROM A LAND USE STANDPOINT, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, ONE OF THE FUTURE THINGS FINANCIAL CHAIR RITTER ASKED ME TO DO IS HAVE FUTURE DISCUSSIONS FROM THIS BOARD ABOUT WHAT KINDS OF MIXED USE AND LAND USE STRATEGIES THE BOARD IS WILLING TO DISCUSS.

WE'RE GOING TO SHOW SOME TODAY. THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE DOING THEM. THESE ARE CONCEPTS.

SOMETHING THAT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS CREATE THAT FRONT DOOR TO OUR CAMPUS BECAUSE MOST, ALMOST ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES DO NOT HAVE A FRONT DOOR. WE'RE DOING THE SAME THINGS AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE DOWNTOWN EDUCATION AND INNOVATION COMPLEX. WHAT SHOULD IT BE? IT WASN'T FAIR TO JUST DO THAT. AND NOT DO IT AT ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES. AND THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS HOW THEY INTEGRATE IN THE COMMUNITY AND HOW THEY ARE A PART OF WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO.

I THINK HAT'S IMPORTANT OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DRAW OUT.

SOME OF THE FUTURE BOARD MEETINGS WE'LL TALK ABOUT STUDENT HOUSING OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

LET ME USE THAT TERM. MIXED USE RETAIL.

WHAT GOES IN THERE. WE KNOW THERE ARE LOTS OF SERVICES WE NEED. MY BEST EXAMPLE IS SOME WAY FOR STUDENTS TO EAT. BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BEG SUBWAY TO COME TO OUR LOCATION JUST TOO SOMETHING THERE.

IF WE CAN COMBINE OURSELVES WITH COMMUNITY TRAFFIC, YOU GET THE VOLUME THAT RESTAURATEUR CAN MAKE A PROFIT AND STAY IN BUSINESS IN A LOCATION. WE NEED HEALTH AND WELLNESS, GREEN SPACES AND STICKY SPACES. WE DON'T WANT TO DO A CAMPUS YOU TAKE A CLASS OR TWO AND HIT THE ROAD.

THE CHANGE OF URBAN CAMPUSES WAS JUST COMMUTER CAMPUSES.ER E- IT'S A DIFFERENT BALL GAME NOW. AND THAT'S A PART OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. WHAT DO WE DO AND SET THIS UP TO HAVE A LARGER PICTURE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

WE'LL GO THROUGH A PLAN TODAY. I WILL LET PARIS OPERATE THE -- OR I'LL DO IT IF YOU WANT. I'LL LET HIM GO THROUGH.

WE WANT TO TAKE OUR TIME WITH THIS.

AND LET YOU ASK AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU HAVE.

I GOT DR. JOSEPH AND DR. SEABROOKS HERE.

THERE ARE SECTIONS I EXPECT YOU TO GO, WOW.

THERE ARE NICE SECTIONS WITH IDEAS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THEM OVERNIGHT BUT WE NEED TO START PLANNING SO WE DON'T PUT A BUILDING WHERE WE WANT TO PUT A LAKE. ALL YOURS, PARIS.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: WHAT MAY BE WOW TO OU, MIGHT NOT

BE TO US. >> THIS MEANS YOU GOT IT RIGHT.

THIS MEANS YOU GOT IT WRONG. >> WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING WE THINK IS EXCITING FOR THE DISTRICT AND ALL OF ITS STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES ON ALL OF YOUR CAMPUSES BUT IN PARTICULAR THE TWO WE'RE DISCUSSING TODAY.

AS JOHN MENTIONED WE WERE GIVEN THE CHARGE TO THINK ABOUT THE CAMPUSES FROM A MASTER PLANNING STANDPOINT, NOT NECESSARILY THINKING THROUGH THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT THEY HAVE ALR ALREADY DE IN THE ACILITY'S PROGRAMMING. BUT TO THINK ABOUT THE CAMPUSES AS PLACES, ENJOYABLE PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO BE EDUCATED AND TO WORK. ENJOYABLE PLACES AS CENTERS OF THEIR COMMUNITY RESPECTIVELY. THERE IS GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE AND KIND OF ESCALATE INTO THAT.

AND THAT'S A BIT OF A DIFFERENT LENS THAN A TYPICAL MASTER PLANNING EFFORT THAT A COLLEGE COMMUNITY MIGHT GO THROUGH.

SECONDLY, I THINK THROUGH THE FORESIGHT OF THE DISTRICT BACK IN THE DAY WHEN HE CAMPUS PROPERTIES ERE ASSEMBLED, THEREE WAS A LOT OF LAND ON EACH CAMPUS THAT WAS ASSEMBLED.

SO MUCH IT'S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE.

THAT AFFORDS THE LUXURY AND OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME OF THE DISCUSSION WE'RE HAVING HERE TO MAKE THESE BETTER PLACES AT THE END OF THE DAY. THEY ARE GREAT PLACES TO BE EDUCATED IN THE CLASSROOM BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEAVE THE CLASSROOM? WHAT ARE INSERVICES AVAILABLE TO

[00:35:02]

THAT'S KIND OF THE FILTER WE'RE STARTING WITH.

WHAT WE INITIALLY LOOKED AT ON THE FIRST SLIDE, I'LL RUN THROUGH THESE IN LINEAR ORDER WITH YOU.

OF COURSE, THIS ALL FALLS UNDERNEATH AND WITHIN THE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES YOU HAVE ADOPTED UP TO THIS POINT.

WE LOOKED AT EACH ONE OF THOSE. AND YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY THINK EACH ONE HAS TO DO WITH LAND PLANNING, MASTER PLANNING, PLACE MAKING, PROGRAMMING BUT THEY ACTUALLY ALL DO.

THEY HAVE DIRECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THOSE TWO CONCEPTS.

AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT, OUR FEELING THROUGH IN DEPTH AMOUNT OF ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION WITH LEADERSHIP OF BOTH CAMPUSES, S THAT WE DON'T BELIEVE THE CURRENT AMPUS PLANS ACTUALLY CREATE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF THESE PRIORITIES TO

BE EFFICIENTLY MET. >> IN WHAT WAY?

>> WE'LL TALK THROUGH THEM. IN PARTICULAR, IT COMES DOWN TO THE INDIVIDUALS THEMSELVES COMING TO SCHOOL EACH DAY.

COMING TO CAMPUS. AND THE OBSTACLES THAT MIGHT BE IN FRONT OF THEM TO EFFICIENTLY BEING ABLE TO GET THE KNOWLEDGE IN A CONVENIENT WAY WHERE THEY CAN ALSO TAKE CARE OF THEIR HOME NEEDS OR LIFE NEEDS AS THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT PAGE, THIS STARTS TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, MA'AM. SO THE EXISTING CAMPUSES HAVE CHALLENGES. I PUT DOWN THE SIX NON-CORE CAMPUS OUTSIDE OF EL CENTRO IN HERE JUST TO MAKE THE POINT IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THAT GREEN AREA, THAT'S THE OPEN LAND HAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE. OH, THANK YOU.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WHAT IS IN RED IS THE FOOTPRINT OF THE CAMPUS ITSELF. THE ACTUAL BUILDINGS.

YOU WILL NOTICE AS JOHN MENTIONED EARLIER, A BIG DISCONNECT BETWEEN WHERE PEOPLE ARE INSIDE THE BUILDINGS AND THE COMMUNITIES AROUND THEM. AND THERE IS A VERY LARGE MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE AREAS TO BE CENTERS OF OMMUNITY.

NOT JUST CENTERS OF LEARNING. AND EVERY THAT HAPPENS WITHIN THERE. WE LOOKED AT YOUR AUNT BERTHA PROCESS AND KIND OF EVALUATING WHAT THE FOLKS ON THE CAMPUSES BELIEVE ARE THEIR NEEDS AND DESIRES.

IT'S INTERESTING WHEN YOU LOOK FROM THIS REPORT, WHICH IS TAKEN FROM JUNE THROUGH SEPTEMBER, END OF SEPTEMBER, IT SHOWS THE NUMBER OF QUERIES IN YOUR SYSTEM AS BY CATEGORY OF WHAT FOLKS ARE LOOKING FOR AND WHAT THEY WANT. YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT, THE SEARCH CATEGORIES, FOOD, GOODS, HEALTH, HOUSING, ET CETERA, BROKEN DOWN BY LEVEL OF INTEREST IN SEARCHES, WHAT IS INTRIGUING YOU START TO SEE DEFICIENCIES IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY FEEL ARE DEFICIENCIES OR LEVELS OF INTEREST ACROSS-THE-BOARD,

ACROSS EACH CAMPUS. >> DO WE HAVE A TOTAL NUMBER OF SEARCHES PER COLLEGE? THE PERCENTAGES ARE GREAT.

I LIKE THE NUMBERS. >> I'LL GET IT BEFORE YOU.

I HAD IT BEFORE. >> WE'VE GOT IT.

THAT'S GOING TO REPRESENT THOUGH OVER THIS PERIOD OF TIME SEVERAL

THOUSAND. >> OKAY.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: WHAT AREA OF CARE? CHILDCARE? ELDER CARE?

>> WE CAN GO DOWN DEEPER INTO THAT.

EACH CATEGORY IS A SEPARATE ITEM.

BUT YEAH. >> C. COMPTON: ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE NEED FOR THESE THINGS IN THE PROXIMITY WHERE PEOPLE

LIVE? >> NO, THESE ARE FOLKS ON CAMPUS, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT FOLKS ON CAMPUS DOING SEARCHES AND QUERIES AS TO THE TYPE OF SERVICES THEY NEED IN

THEIR LIFE. >> WE WHITE LABEL AUNT BERTHA, IF THEY ARE HUNGRY THEY SEARCH FOR FOOD.

LOOKING OR TRANSPORTATION, HEY GO THAT ROUTE.

IT'S A PRETTY EXHAUSTIVE LIST. EVERYTHING IF YOU ARE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP TO SEARCHING FOR SHELTER, DIFFERENT

THINGS. >> IT'S AMAZING YOU ALL TRACK THINGS IN THIS WAY. THAT'S A GREAT TOOL TO HAVE.

BECAUSE IT HELPS FORECAST AND THINK ABOUT NEEDS THAT THE FOLKS ON THE CAMPUSES HAVE IN THEIR LIVES.

>> WE GET A MONTHLY REPORT THAT BREAKS IT OUT.

REALLY COMPREHENSIVE. >> YOU CAN SEE AREAS OBVIOUSLY LOOK AT CEDAR VALLEY AND MOUNTAIN VIEW IN THE TWO YELLOW COLUMNS. YOU SEE THE PERCENTAGES IN THERE, YOU CAN SEE OBVIOUSLY WHAT IS IN BOLD IS THE HIGHEST

[00:40:03]

SO THAT GOT US THINKING ABOUT THEIR NEEDS AND MAYBE COMPARING THAT ACK TO THE CAMPUSES. WHEN YOU LOOK AT MOUNTAIN VIEW ON THE NEXT PAGE, YOU WILL ALSO PUT TOGETHER VOID ANALYSIS, IF YOU WILL FOR EACH ONE OF YOUR CAMPS.

WE HIGHLIGHTED ON THE TWO, ONE FOR MOUNTAIN VIEW, ONE FOR CEDAR VALLEY. TAKING THE GENERAL CATEGORIES OF NEEDS AND COMPARES THEM FROM A WALKABILITY STANDPOINT TO THE CAMPUS. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE RULE OF THUMB, IF SOMETHING IS WITHIN A 10 MINUTES WALK, IT'S ACCESSIBLE. YOU CAN SEE BY AND LARGE EACH ONE OF THESE EEDS OR THESE AREAS OF PROGRAM AREN'T WALKABLE TO THE CAMPUS. SO THAT SAYS THE COMMUNITY SITUATION THAT THE CAMPUSES ARE SITTING WITHIN AND HE CAMPUS ITSELF ISN'T NECESSARILY OFFERING THE TYPES OF SERVICES OUTSIDE OF EDUCATION THAT REALLY PEOPLE NEED IN THEIR DAILY LIVES. BECAUSE YOU ARE ALSO LANDLORDS AND PROPERTY OWNERS WITH HESE CAMPUSES, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL TO START TO SOLVE AND CLOSE SOME OF THOSE GAPS.

OVER TIME AND A STRATEGIC LAND PLAN IF DESIRED.

THIS IS OUR DATA. >> BEN MCGILL DOES THE RESEARCH ON THIS. AND BASICALLY HAS THE SAME INFORMATION FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR COLLEGES.

AND WHAT WE FOUND IS LOOKING AT THE DATA AS WE TARTED LOOKING AT IT IS WE'RE BASICALLY IN WHAT WE CALL DESERTS THAT THE SERVICES ARE NOT NEARBY. ANYTHING FROM A GROCERY STORE TO HAVING A CHILDCARE TO THE VARIOUS TYPES OF THINGS IN HERE.

BUT THIS IS OUR DATA THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

THIS IS NOT DATA THEY PRODUCED. SO THIS IS THE PART THAT WE'VE COME UP WITH. AND WE FOUND THEY DIFFER INDIVIDUALLY BUT BASICALLY ALL OUR CAMPUSES HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THERE IS NOTHING NEARBY.

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT CEDAR VALLEY, WHAT JUMPED OUT AS WELL AS WITH MOUNTAIN VIEW, THERE IS PROXIMITY TO JOBS.

IN THIS CASE, WE'RE ADJACENT TO THE LOGISTICS HUB FOR DALLAS DOWN THERE. WHICH IS AMAZING.

THE NUMBER OF JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES AROUND.

BUT THE WAY THAT'S LAID OUT IS ESSENTIALLY A LARGE INDUSTRIAL PARK. PRIMARILY SINGLE USE AND DIFFICULT PARTICULARLY IF YOU ARE AT THE CAMPUS TO ACCESS.

WE SEE THAT AS A MAJOR OPPORTUNITY OVERTIME IN TERMS OF HOW THE CAMPUS CAN DEVELOP OUT TO BE THE CENTER OF THAT AREA IN ADDITION TO THE CENTER OF THIS PORTION OF THE METRO PLEX.

>> QUESTION? >> YES, SIR.

>> S. WILLIAMS: GO BACK. YEAH.

FOUR COLUMNS. AND I SEE THERE IS A 10-MINUTE WALK. IF YOU GO TO THE 15, I'M MISSING

SOMETHING. >> SURE.

YEAH. THE NUMBERS, THE 0, 15, 35, 45, 60 ARE WALKING MINUTES AND MINUTES.

THE BLUE LINE THAT IS 10 MINUTES, FROM A RULE OF THUMB STANDPOINT, IF YOU CAN WALK TO SOMETHING WITHIN 10 MINUTES, IT'S ACCESSIBLE, REACHABLE. IF IT'S BEYOND 10 MINUTES, YOU HAVE TO GET IN YOUR CAR AND DRIVE A WAYS TO GET TO IT.

ONCE YOU ARE IN YOUR CAR, YOU COULD BE DRIVING TO FORT WORTH.

IF IT'S NOT WITHIN 10 MINUTE WALK, IT'S NOT SERVING YOU FROM

AN ADJACENCY STANDPOINT. >> S. WILLIAMS: IT DOESN'T JUST

HAPPEN? >> NO.

>> S. WILLIAMS: I'M LOOKING AT DIFFERENT NUMBERS ON S SOME OF

THOSE COLUMNS. >> THOSE, THE DOTS, THE COLORED DOTS REFLECT THE WALKING DISTANCE , FOR INSTANCE, THE SECOND ONE DOWN, CHILDCARE, THAT APPEARS TO BE A 25-MINUTE WALK TO CHILDCARE. IF YOU HAD A CHILD AND YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL THERE AT CEDAR VALLEY.

WELL, IF YOU HAVE A 25-MINUTE WALK TO CHILDCARE, YOU DON'T HAVE IT NEAR YOU, AND THAT COMPLICATES YOUR LIFE IN TERMS OF HOW YOU ARE MANAGING THE PROCESS OF GOING TO CLASS.

BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT. WHEREAS, IF YOU WORKING WITH A PARTNER HAD CHILDCARE THERE ON CAMPUS, THAT HELPS TO SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE IN TERMS OF DECISIONS YOU ARE MAKING EACH DAY.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THAT PURPLE WHERE IT SAYS PROXIMITY IS THAT

TRANSPORTATION? >> RAIL TRANSIT.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: RAIL TRANSIT?

[00:45:01]

>> ONE OF THE THINGS AT CEDAR VALLEY THAT DR. SEABROOKS AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IF YOU NOTICE THE YELLOW BOX AND LINE, IS THE HEALTH CARE. IT'S OVER 60-MINUTE WALK.

YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO GET IN YOUR CAR IF YOU NEED HEALTH CARE. AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS WE LOOK AT THESE THINGS.

IT'S NOT JUST COMMON SERVICES LIKE HAVING A PLACE TO EAT OR CHILD CARE BUT PROVIDING THAT WELLNESS AREA AND HAVING THOSE SERVICES THAT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY USES BUT THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE ALSO FOR OUR STUDENTS FROM EVERYTHING FROM APPRENTICE PROGRAMS TO WORKING THERE FTER THEY GRADUATE HOW THE COMMUNITY CAN INTEGRATE WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE'RE A CATALYST AND WE CAN BE A CATSACATALYST IN THESE AREAS.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: IS THIS AN OPPORTUNITY TO POSSIBLY WORK WITH PARKLAND OR DALLAS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT?

>> WE ACTUALLY ARE. WE'VE INITIATED THOSE CONVERSATIONS. THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE TOO.

JUST TO -- THE QUESTION WE HAD WOULD SOMEONE LIKE PARKLAND BE INTERESTED AND THEY SAID, YES, THEY WOULD BE.

>> WHAT IS INTERESTING WHEN I PUT MY PLANNER HAT ON AND GO BACK TO THE CAMPUSES, THE TWO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AGAIN, THE AREA IN PINK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN ARE CAMPUS BUILDINGS. AND THEN THE PERIPHERY ARE THE ROADS. THE CIRCLES ARE TYPICALLY LOCATIONS WHERE THESE SERVICES WOULD ORDINARILY LOCATED.

THEY DON'T GO INBOARD INTO AN AREA THAT DOESN'T HAVE VISIBILITY. THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY SUBWAY HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO GET ON CAMPUS.

THERE ISN'T AS MUCH VISIBILITY AS IF THEY WERE ON PRESTON ROAD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT THIS IS WHILE THERE IS SOME GOOD DECISIONS BACK IN THE DAY TO CREATE THESE KIND OF REMOTE ACADEMIC VILLAGES THAT STOOD ONTO THEMSELVES WITH A LOT OF PARKING AND GREENERY AROUND IT, AS PRETTY AS IT IS, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH OR DO OTHER USES ON CAMPUSES.

IT'S SO FAR AWAY, YOU ARE SWIMMING UPSTREAM TO GET THEM TO RELOCATE ON CAMPUS IN YOUR CURRENT CONFIGURATION.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> P. RITTER: LOOKING AT THESE VARIOUS TYPES OF SERVICES, BACK ON SLIDE 6.

BUSINESS, HEALTH CARE, GROCERY, CHILDCARE, JOBS.

THOSE ARE ALL MARKET-DRIVEN DECISIONS.

IN CEDAR VALLEY AND MOUNTAIN VIEW IN PARTICULAR, I MEAN THE BLACK OF DISINVESTMENT AND HISTORY OF ECONOMIC DISCRIMINATION PROBABLY ACCOUNTS FOR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE LACK OF DEVELOPMENT AROUND CAMPUSES.

WHAT IS IT THAT WILL SUDDENLY MAKE THESE SERVICES ECONOMICALLY VIABLE AS OPPOSED TO BEING OVER THE BORDER.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT BEING ON A COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAMPUS HAT WILL MAKE THOSE SUCCESSFUL WHERE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TO DATE?

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. WE WORKED ON A LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT AROUND THE COUNTRY.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. SOMETHING THAT IS CENTRAL TO SUCCESS IS IF THERE IS AN EXISTING MARKET THAT CAN BOLSTER AND CREATE THAT SUCCESS. SOME OF THE AREAS HISTORICALLY, YOU KNOW, MAY APPEAR NOT TO HAVE SOME OF THE MARKET OPPORTUNITIES FROM THAT STANDPOINT. BUT WHAT I KNOW FOR A FACT WHEN YOU START TO CHANGE THE PARADIGM OF WHAT THE PLACE IS AND YOU GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TOGETHER TO BE ABLE TO APPRECIATE THE SERVICES, YOU ARE SETTING UP, GIVING IT THE BEST CHANCE FOR SUCCESS YOU CAN. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE THE EXACT OPPOSITE. WE'RE REMOTE.

SOME OF THE CAMPUSES ARE IN AREAS THAT SAY, YOU KNOW, SOME RETAILERS MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE THE FIRST PLACE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR WHATEVER REASON. BUT WHEN YOU COMBINE THE TWO TOGETHER, IT'S HARD TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.

SO JUST AS A STARTING POINT, YOU WOULD WANT TO LOOK AT HOW CAN WE PHYSICALLY SET IT UP SO YOU CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND THEN TO JOHN'S POINT EARLIER, AS YOU GO FURTHER INTO THE PROCESS IF YOU CHOOSE, THERE IS A MARKET ANALYSIS AND STUDY TO LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE VIABLE MARKET USES THAT WOULD WORK, IF IT IS WHOLLY A PRIVATE EXERCISE. AND THEN YOU WOULD GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND SEE WHERE THERE IS OPPORTUNITIES TO FORM RELATIONSHIPS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

RIGHT NOW, YOU DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE TO EVEN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION IN MY OPINION.

>> C. COMPTON: I'M ON PAGE 7. COULD YOU GIVE ME SOME IDENTITY POINTS SO I KNOW WHICH DIRECTION?

[00:50:02]

>> SURE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, WHAT WOULD BE MORE HELPFUL IF WE GO TO THE PLANS THEMSELVES.

WE HAVE PLANS THAT SHOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

>> C. COMPTON: I WAS TRYING TO SEE WHICH STREET IS WHAT BUT

THEY ARE BLURRY. >> I WILL DESCRIBE IT ON THE PLANS COMING UP IN A COUPLE OF SLIDES.

THE LAST PORTION OF THE SUMMARY HERE SHOWS WHAT POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS COULD BE. YOU SEE IMAGERY OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. TO CREATE THE WALKABLE ENVIRONMENT THAT DRAWS PEOPLE'S INTEREST.

YOU SEE PICTURES OF THAT. IT'S A STRONGER IDENTITY.

MORE INCLUSIVE IN TERMS OF THE KINDS F USES AND FOLKS COMING IN. IT DRAWS FOLKS FROM COMMUNITY ON CAMPUS, OUTSIDE OF THE OPEN SPACES YOU HAVE.

THAT TAKES US TO THE FIRST CAMPUS.

WE'LL GET INTO THE DETAIL AT MOUNTAIN VIEW AND LOCATIONAL

POINTS. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: I HAPPEN TO ATTEND A COMMUNITY MEETING LAST NIGHT ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AROUND

TYLER STATION. >> YES.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THE D.A.R.T. TYLER STATION.

AND IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO HEAR RESIDENTS SAY ABOUT WHAT THEY DON'T WANT. ONE OF THE THING THIS DON'T WANT ARE THE BIG CHAIN RESTAURANTS, ET CETERA. I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE DECIDE WE'RE GOING TO GO DOWN THIS PATH TO HAVE SOME OF THOSE MEETINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THAT LIVE AROUND THE COLLEGES THAT WE'RE LISTENING TO HAT THEY WANT OR

DON'T WANT. >> I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART IS ALSO AS TRUSTEE RITTER WAS TALKING ABOUT, MARKET STUDIES TO DETERMINE WHAT IS FEASIBLE AND WHAT IS NOT.

WHEN WE TALK IN OUR STRATEGIES, YOU WILL GET MY SUPPORT TOO, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THE BIG BOX PEOPLE AND THE NATIONAL BRANDS AND SO ON. STUDENTS DO LIKE BRANDED.

IF WE START DEVELOPING SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, TO BUILD THE ECONOMY IN A SITE TWO BLOCKS DOWN, THE GOLDEN ARCHES GOES UP BUT I DON'T HAVE TO REQUEST THAT.

STILL WORKING ON THAT, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT YET.

LET THEM DUKE IT OUT. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: WE MIGHT LET

THEM HAVE LAND AT MOUNTAIN VIEW. >> THAT'S INTERESTING.

IN SUPPORT. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS GET A.G.B.

ON BOARD. >> THE EXISTING PLAN ON KNOXVILLE, I'M SORRY, FOR MOUNTAIN VIEW, THE SLIDE IN FRONT OF YOU. NORTH IS TO THE LEFT.

ILLINOIS IS TO THE RIGHT. ILLINOIS AVENUE.

ON THE BOTTOM THERE IS DUNCANVILLE ROAD, UP AGAINST THE SCHOOLS. AND KNOXVILLE STREET ON THE TOP OF THE DRAWING. THIS PLAN IS THE CURRENT FACILITY'S PLAN OR MASTER PLAN FOR MOUNTAIN VIEW.

AND THE BUILDINGS IN YELLOW REFLECT NEW ADDITIONS TO THE CAMPUS. OBVIOUSLY, EACH ONE F THOSE NUMBERS TALKS ABOUT THE KINDS OF PROGRAMS. I CAN TELL YOU FOR ALL OF OUR STUDIES AS ALSO WITH EASTFIELD, THE BASIS FOR THESE THOUGHTS IS THE ROGRAM THAT WAS ARRIVED AT IN THE CAMPUS MASTER PLANS. WE'RE NOT DEVIATING FROM THAT.

WE'RE LOOKING AT MAYBE THERE ARE LOCATIONS WHERE SOME OF THOSE COULD BE PLACED IN A WAY THAT ACCOMPLISHES THE GOALS BETTER THAT I OUTLINED EARLIER IN ADDITION TO SOME OTHER USES POTENTIALLY. SO THAT'S IT.

BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE EXISTING PLANS, WHAT WE WERE STRUCK BY IS HOW BEAUTIFUL THE ARROYO IS, IT'S INTERNALIZED.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS VERY NICE.

IF YOU ARE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY, IT'S REALLY INTERNAL.

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO HAVE A SUBWAY AND N THE ARROYO, YOU ARE NOT SEEN BY ANYONE OTHER THAN STUDENTS THERE AT THE MOMENT. THAT'S NOT A NORMAL COMMERCIAL SETTING FOR THOSE TYPES OF BUILDINGS.

THE MEW NEW PROGRAM ON ILLINOISS GOOD IN TERMS OF A FRONT DOOR EFFECT BUT A SEPARATION BY FACILITIES.

BY LARGE PARKING LOTS AND AREAS THAT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME TO WALK ACROSS. DIDN'T MAKE SENSE.

WE'RE BIG ON BUILDING SYNERGY OF ACTIVITY.

THOSE ARE AREAS THAT JUMPED OUT AT US.

IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE IT SHOWS AN EXAMPLE OF MAYBE AN ALTERNATIVE TO THAT. AND AS JOHN MENTIONED, ONE OF

[00:55:02]

WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS UNDERSTANDING YOU MAY HAVE PROGRAMMATIC NEEDS TODAY OR IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

MAYBE VER THE NEXT 25 YEARS, THERE IS A STRATEGY FOR ALL OF THE PROPERTY. SOME PROPERTY MIGHT ALWAYS BE OPEN SPACE, AND THAT'S GOOD. BUT IT HAS A REASON WHY, NOT JUST DE FACTO OPEN SPACE. IT'S A MASTER STRATEGY.

THIS PLAN WHICH YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS THE CREATION OF A CENTER OF COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY BEING THE EXISTING CAMPUS BUILDINGS AND NEW BUILDINGS THAT COULD BE MIXED USE AND PRIVATE USES THAT COME IN.

AND A CENTERING OF THAT CAMPUS EXPERIENCE THAT BRINGS THE COMMUNITY IN AND ONCE YOU ARE THERE YOU CAN ENJOY THE CAMPUSES. THE BUILDINGS IN DARKER BROWN ARE THE EXISTING COLLEGE BUILDINGS.

THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE IN THAT KIND OF SALMON COLOR, THE VERY LIGHT PINK, HOSE ARE THE PROPOSED NEW COLLEGE BUILDINGS,

ACADEMIC ORIENTED PROGRAMMING. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: THAT

DEVIATES FROM THIS? >> SLIGHTLY.

IN OTHER AREAS IT'S THE SAME AS EXISTING.

WHAT IS IN THE DARKER PINK, THOSE ARE NEW MIXED-USE BUILDINGS. THAT IS CREATING AN ENTRY BOULEVARD OFF OF ILLINOIS. COMES TO A CENTRAL AREA, WHICH CURRENTLY THERE IS OPEN SPACE AND SOME PONDS.

THIS ACTUALLY COLLECTS THOSE PONDS TOGETHER INTO A CENTRAL PROMENADE THAT OMBINES USES AS THE CENTER POINT FOR THE CAMPUS.

AND A DESTINATION POINT ONCE YOU GET THERE.

I'LL SHOW YOU IN A MINUTE. AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE PLAN, ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT IS THE ABILITY FOR THE EXISTING SPORTS FACILITIES TO HAVE MORE OF A FRONT DOOR TO THEM AND A FIELD HOUSE, ET CETERA, POSSIBLY OR OTHER USES.

YES, MA'AM? >> CHAIR D. FLORES: WHAT IS

THIS? >> PARKING SERVING THE SPORTS.

THOSE WITH THE DARKER IND OF PURPLE STRIPES ON THEM, WE WERE SAYING THAT COULD BE SUSTAINABLE WITH SOLAR PANELS AND THOSE TYPES OF FACILITIES THAT START TO MAKE MORE OF A SUSTAINABLE

PLAN. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: THE 20, THE STADIUM IS ALREADY THERE, CORRECT?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> DO WE HAVE THE DENSITY AND TRAFFIC ON OUR CAMPUS SUPPORT VERTICAL PARKING SOLUTIONS,

DEVELOPED BY COMMERCIAL? >> THAT'S A MARKET QUESTION FROM A -- IF YOU ARE SAYING FOR A PRIVATE PROGRAM, IT DEPENDS ON THE CAMPUS. IN THIS CASE, YOU HAVE ENOUGH LAND WHERE IT ISN'T NEEDED. OVER TIME YOU COULD PHASE IN.

OUR FEELING HERE , FOR INSTANCE, BELOW UNCANVILLE ROAD, YOU COULD HAVE PARKING GARAGES.

THAT WOULD BE A PART OF THE LAND STRATEGY FOR THAT AREA, IT ALLOWS THE WESTWARD CAMPUS EXPANSION.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT. TODAY, PROBABLY NOT.

YOU HAVE SO MUCH LAND. >> ONE OF THINGS AS YOU PRESENT THIS, THE UNDERLYING STRATEGY SEEMS TO CREATE DENSITY TO MAKE ECONOMICALLY VIABLE THINGS NOT VIABLE IN THE COMMUNITY.

WE'VE BEEN UNDERGOING THE PRACTICE OF OPPORTUNISTIC -- THE BUILDING AT EASTFIELD, WE GOT ONE TODAY ON RED BIRD MALL NOT TOO FAR FROM, OU KNOW, FROM MOUNTAIN VIEW.

ARE WE HURTING OURSELVES BY THESE OFF-CAMPUS ACQUISITIONS OR BIAS OURSELVES TO NOT DOING REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT, PARTICULARLY

LONG-TERM OFF CAMPUS? >> I DON'T THINK THAT'S -- I

WILL STEP IN HERE. >> MOST ALL OF THESE WE'RE LOOKING AT, HALF OF THEM, LET'S SAY I SHORT-TERM NEEDS TO SATISFY A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE TO PROVIDE THE PROGRAMS TODAY AND THEY ARE CRITICAL PROGRAMS. WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A MINUTE. MOST OF WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH ANY OF THOSE, EVEN THE RED BIRD AS A 10 YEAR, WE'RE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. WE'RE NOT GOING IN AND GOING TO SAY WE NEED THIS SPACE FOR 40 YEARS OR O ON.

WE'RE KEEPING OUR LEASES FOR THE MOST PART OR ANY SPACE WE NEED ON A SHORT-TERM BASIS. BETWEEN THREE TO FIVE YEARS WHERE A 10 YEAR MAX. AS OPPOSED TO SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR. ONCE YOU MOVE INTO A PLACE, YOU REALLY GOT TO EXERCISE IN IT FOR THREE YEARS TO GET THE BENEFIT OUT OF IT BEFORE YOU START GOING SOMEPLACE ELSE.

THERE ARE OTHER PLANS THAT COULD DEVELOP FROM ANY OF THESE PLACES, INCLUDING WHAT WE WOULD ACTUALLY DO ON OUR EXISTING

[01:00:03]

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: WHERE YOU HAVE 14 AND YELLOW, IS THAT A

POTENTIAL HOUSING? >> IT COULD BE.

ONE OF THE ISSUES HERE THAT'S INTERESTING IS WITH THE EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM. AND SOME OF HOSE RELATED EFFORTS. AND THE NURSING PROGRAM.

THERE COULD BE A GREAT TIE-TO ASSISTED LIVING AND SENIOR HOUSING. THERE IS OPPORTUNITIES FROM AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING STANDPOINT. THEM PRACTICING NEEDS TO BE THOUGHT THROUGH FROM A MARKETING STANDPOINT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT SLIDE AND YOU SEE THE CENTER OF CAMPUS, THAT STARTS TO CHANGE THE PARADIGM OF HOW PEOPLE SEE THIS CAMPUS. IT'S NO LONGER JUST THE GREAT INTERNAL SPACE, NOW THERE IS A REASON WHY THE ARROYO IS THERE.

KIND OF THE EMANATING POINT. THIS IS WHERE THE WATER BEGINS.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: EQUATE THIS TO THIS.

>> YES. OKAY.

SO IF YOU GO BACK TO THE PLAN. SEE THE BLUE NUMBER 28 IN THE

MIDDLE? >> CHAIR D. FLORES: THAT'S THIS?

>> THAT IS A VIEW LOOKING FROM KIND OF ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF

YOUR PAGE UP ACROSS YOUR PAGE. >> YOU ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING

AT -- >> LIKE A HELICOPTER VIEW FROM

THE -- >> YEAH.

FROM THE TRACK. HELICOPTER VIEW FROM THE TRACK.

>> AND WHAT Y YOU ARE LOOKING AT SPECIFICALLY ARE NEW ACADEMIC BUILDINGS. YOU HAVE THE WELCOME CENTER ON THE BOTTOM LEFT. THE PROMENADE, KEEPING IN MIND SEVERAL PONDS IN THE LOCATION. YOU HAVE THE TOPOGRAPHY THAT MAKES IT WORK. THIS BECOMES THE CENTER.

IT'S VERY VISUAL AND ECOMES A NEW FRONT DOOR.

THERE IS THE GREAT ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT ON THE EXISTING CAMPUS.

THIS HAS A SIMILAR ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE IN A GATHERING PLAZA YOU SEE TAKING CUES OFF OF WHAT YOU HAVE THERE.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: YOU STILL DON'T SEE THAT FROM LIKE FROM ILLINOIS. YOU HAVE TO GO IN.

>> RIGHT. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: WHAT WOULD

ENTICE THEM IN? >> THAT'S COMING UP ON THE NEXT SLIDE. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION OR TWO SLIDES FROM NOW. THE BASIC POINTS OR CONCEPTS F THIS PLAN IS TO CREATE A CENTER LAKE EXPERIENCE.

THAT HAS A RANGE OF USES ON IT. THAT BECOMES THE KIND OF CONNECTION POINT FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE USES.

ALSO THIS, MA'AM, TO ANSWER YOUR POINT.

IS A NEW BOULEVARD THAT COMES OFF OF ILLINOIS WITH BUILDINGS THAT LINE STREETSCAPES THAT TAKE YOU UP TO THAT POINT.

YOU WOULD HAVE A GROUND LEVEL RESTAURANT WITH OUTDOOR DINING, THE DARKER PINK BUILDINGS. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

THE VIEW ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT IS LOOKING DOWN AND CROSS THOSE BUILDINGS TOWARDS THE EXISTING CAMPUS.

>> WE HAVE 25 MORE MINUTES LEFT ON FINANCE.

>> OKAY. >> WE'RE COMING TO A CLOSE ON

THIS PORTION. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: JOINT FITNESS, TALK ABOUT CITIES, SCHOOLS, CCCD, 17, JOINT

FITNESS. >> ALL OF THE ABOVE.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: THAT WOULD BE A PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP.

>> LIKE EVEN DOWNTOWN, THE Y REACHED OUT TO US ABOUT PARTNERING AND WORKING TOGETHER. THERE ARE FOLKS WILLING TO PARTNER WITH US BUT WE NEED TO ISSUE THE INVITATION AND DRIVE IT NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. WE NEED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF OUR STUDENTS FIRST AND HAT THOSE NEEDS ARE.

>> THAT SPEAKS TO THE GATEWAY. YOU HAVE A PARK WITH A TRAIL SYSTEM ON THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE CAMPUS.

THAT CAN EVOLVE INTO USES THROUGH THE LAND STRATEGY THAT MAINTAINS A SMALLER PARK, MAINTAINS A WALKING SYSTEM, BUT MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS THERE OVER TIME.

AND THAT'S PART OF THE LAND STRATEGY.

NOT SOMETHING YOU NEED ODAY BUT HAVING AN EYE ON THAT AND REACH

OUT TO ILLINOIS. >> JUST THINK ABOUT MOUNTAIN VIEW, ILLINOIS, THEN RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IS A BURGER KING THAT UNACCESSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE ABILITY TO CROSS THE ROAD. HAD WE HAD SOMETHING IN PLACE, PERHAPS WE COULD HAVE WORKED THINGS EARLIER.

>> RETAIL WORKS BETTER WHEN YOU HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP ACROSS THE STREET. THERE IS CRITICAL MASS, MORE

HAPPENING IN THERE. >> ALSO, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND A

[01:05:03]

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.

>> TRAFFIC. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: SO HOW DOES THIS CONCEPT FIT INTO THE EXISTING PLAN? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT CHANGING OUT THE EXISTING PLAN AND REPLACE SOME OF THIS? OR WHAT?

>> NO, MA'AM, THIS IS ENHANCEMENT TO THE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN DEVELOPED FOR THE BUILDINGS USED FOR THE BOND.

THIS IS JUST AN IDEA OF WHAT OTHER POSSIBLE THINGS WE

COULD -- >> CHAIR D. FLORES: BUT WHAT

THIS BOND MONEY OR FUTURE? >> I THINK MORE OF THIS, CHAIR FLORES IS GOING TO BE THE CONCEPT, THE NEXT STEP IS WHAT WE WANT TO START CONSIDERING IN A P-3 AND WHAT DO WE WANT TO START CONSIDERING? WE DID THIS PLAN ABOUT A YEAR AGO FOR EASTFIELD. WE WERE MORE CONCENTRATED THAN I WOULD SAY RETAIL MODE OF HOW CAN WE PROFIT OFF OUR LAND.

WE CHANGED TO ATTITUDE TO WHAT IS THE STRATEGY AND HOW WE BUILD COMMUNITY EFFORT IN WHAT WE NEED SERVING THE STUDENTS, AS OPPOSED TO BEING A DEVELOPER, IF YOU WILL.

NOW THE NEXT STEP WE HAVE PHASE ONE OF THE BOND STARTED.

WHAT ARE THE COMPLIMENTARY PROGRAMS? MOUNTAIN VIEW HAD ONE, THEY WANTED TO DO A P-3 IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR WELCOME CENTER.

WHICH IS A PHASE-ONE BOND PROGRAM.

HOW DO WE WORK THAT TOGETHER? WHAT DR. SEABROOKS IS LOOKING AT IS LOOKING AT PARKLAND, YMCA. WHAT THIS HELPS WITH, IS WHERE DOES THAT GO? I THINK THAT HELPS US ANYTHING ELSE. AND HAVE A PLAN AS TO HOW WE'RE DEVELOPING ON IT. THIS IS NOT CARVED IN STONE.

LET'S START HERE AND HAVE SOMETHING AND IMPROVE IT.

>> IT'S TAKING THE PLAN THAT EXIST, MOVING PIECES AROUND SLIGHTLY AND ADDING ELEMENTS RELATED SPECIFICALLY TO THE CREATION OF A BETTER PLACE VISUALLY SO WHEN YOU ARE THERE, THERE IS A THERE/THERE TO USE THE PHRASE.

WHEN YOU LOCK AT CEDAR VALLEY AND WHAT S BEFORE YOU IS THE EXISTING PLAN, WHAT JUMPED OUT TO US HERE IS WE'RE NOT EVEN SHOWING YOU SAY IN THE BUILDINGS ON HERE ALL OF THE LAND.

IT'S AN ENORMOUS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

YOU KNOW THAT HAVING GONE DOWN THERE.

THE BUILDINGS ARE IN THE LIGHT ORANGE COLOR ARE HUDDLED UP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S ON THE WATER.

AND IT'S VERY NICE WHEN YOU ARE THERE.

ON NORTH ELLIS AVENUE OR SURROUNDING ROADS, YOU BARELY HAVE THE SENSE THE CAMPUS IS THERE.

IN REALITY, THAT IS NOT THE BEST OPPORTUNITY IN OUR VIEW.

WE WERE HAPPY TO SEE IN YOUR CURRENT PLAN THAT YOU HAVE NEW FACILITIES REACHING OUT TO NORTH DALLAS.

THIS SHOWED SOME HOUSING AND A RANGE OF OTHER USES.

BUT IT WAS CREATING SORT OF TWO DISTINCT CAMPUSES TO A CERTAIN DEGREE. AND HAD BUILDINGS THAT WERE FLOATING A BIT. WE THOUGHT THOSE BUILDINGS COULD BE SIGHTED MORE STRONGLY AROUND THE CONCEPT OF CAMPUS EXPERIENCE

AND CREATING A AMPUS PLACE. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: ON THIS ONE,

WHAT IS YOUR EXISTING AND PLAN? >> EXISTING IS THE LIGHT ORANGE.

PLAN IS THE DARK KIND OF PINK AND YELLOW.

>> WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE H BUILDING AT THE OP.

>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE H AT THE TOP.

YEP. SO ONE THING THIS DOES THAT IS NICE IS BETWEEN THE G AND THE N BUILDINGS AND EXISTING CAMPUS IT CREATES KIND OF A CONVERSATION, IF YOU WILL, BETWEEN THE EXISTING BUILDINGS AND PROPOSED BUILDINGS AROUND THE FINGER OF WATER THAT COMES DOWN TO THE GREEN 17.

THAT IS NICE WITH THE BRIDGES, I THINK THE 12 AND 13 ARE FLOATING A BIT. EVEN WITH THAT, THERE IS STILL NOT A SENSE OF A CENTER TO THE CAMPUS THAT THE COMMUNITY NECESSARILY MIGHT UNDERSTAND. AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ACCOMPLISHING A GOAL OF THE CAMPUS BEING A CENTER ANDIGATEWAY INTO THE LOGISTICS HUB OF THAT LARGER EMPLOYMENT ZONE ROUND IT. WHAT WE LOOKED AT WAS AGAIN, KIND OF A MASTER FRAMEWORK PLAN. WHEN I SAY FRAMEWORK, WHERE FUTURE STREETS AND PARCELS MIGHT BE FOR ACADEMIC OR OTHER USES.

REACHING OUT TO KIND OF THE HARD CORNER, IF YOU WILL OF WINTER

GREEN AND DALLAS AVENUE. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: WHERE IS THE

[01:10:03]

CURRENT ENTRANCE? >> AT THE TOP LEFT BY THE NUMBER 5. THAT'S CALLED THE NORTH ENTRANCE. AND THEN THE BOTTOM LEFT WHERE THE STREET INTERSECTION IS OF WINTER GREEN AND DALLAS, NORTH OF WINTER GREEN, TH TH TH THEREA SERPEN TEEN ROAD.

WHEN YOU DRIVE IN THAT OAD AND USE THE POINTER.

AS YOU DRIVE IN, CURRENTLY YOU REACH THIS KIND OF DECISION POINT. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHERE TO GO. AND THEN ONCE OU DRIVE PAST THAT POINT, YOU GET INTO THE PARKING LOTS, IT'S NOT VERY CLEAR WHERE YOU PARK AND WALK AND I THE CAMPUS IS.

THAT SHOULD BE CLEANED UP FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT TAKING UT THE PARKING LOTS? IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN?

>> THE DIRECTIONALITY OF THE ROADS THEMSELVES CAN BE IMPROVED SO IT'S MORE CLEAR. WE DO HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THE

PARKING. >> YOU ARE ACTUALLY IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, YOU ARE BLIND STILL AT THAT SPOT WHEN YOU ARE WAY INTO THE CAMPUS. YOU CAN'T TELL WHICH IS THE ROUTE TO GO TO BUILDINGS FROM THERE.

>> AND WHAT IS ALSO REALLY INTERESTING BOUT IT, IS THE NORTH ENTRANCE HERE IS THE CLOSEST ENTRANCE TO MOST PEOPLE COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY. YET IT FEELS A LITTLE BACK DOOR.

WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE TWO ENTRIES AND TEATING THEM DIFFERENTLY IN THE PLAN. IF YOU COMPARE THAT HERE, SIMILAR TO MOUNTAIN VIEW, THIS PROBABLY IS ONE OF THE MAIN ENTRANCES INTO CAMPUS BECAUSE IT'S THE CLOSEST TO THE OUTSIDE COMMUNITY. THIS IS WHERE SOME OF THOSE POTENTIAL TRIPLE P OPPORTUNITIES ARE AND WHERE SERVICES COULD BE THAT TAKES YOU INTO A CENTRALIZED PORTION OF THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE CAMPUS FORMING A CENTER AROUND THAT FINGER OF THE LAKE. SIMILAR TO THE EXISTING PLAN BUT WE TOOK THE FLOATING BUILDING AND MOVED IT HERE ND ADDED OTHER USES AROUND WHAT WE HEARD ON AUNT BERTHA.

THIS IS AS IT IS BUT WE SIMPLIFIED THE ENTRANCE BOULEVARD IN. I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.

THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A MIXED USE VILLAGE THAT COMES DOWN AND BETTER ROOTS THE OVERALL CAMPUS PROPERTY INTO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY AND SCHOOLS SOUTH OF US.

IT SETUP AT LEAST IN THE FUTURE, THE ABILITY TO ORGANIZE THIS LAND OVER TIME. REMEMBER, ALL OF THIS LAND OVER HERE IS THE LOGISTIC'S HUB. YOU HAVE INDUSTRIAL USES, ET

CETERA, YOU HAVE JOBS. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: I DON'T SEE

IT. >> TO HE RIGHT.

GOING FOR MILES TO THE RIGHT THIS WAY AND TO THE NORTH, OU

HAVE THAT. >> THIS IS HIGH SCHOOL.

>> THAT IS CORRECT. THIS GIVES YOU A FRAMEWORK -- MY LIGHT WENT OUT. AROUND THE CIRCLE AND ROADS THAT STARTS TO ORGANIZE HOW THE LAND CAN BE USED SO WHEN NEW BUILDINGS COME IN OVER TIME, WHETHER THEY ARE ACADEMIC BUILDINGS OR OTHER BUILDINGS, THERE IS A RHYME OR REASON AS TO HOW THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE SITE AROUND THE CONCEPT OF SUPPORTING THE PHYSICAL CAMPUS EXPERIENCE ITSELF.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: OKAY, THE FLOATING BUILDING 12 BECAME

BUILDING 4? >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: YOU TURNED A PARKING LOT WHERE YOU HAD THE FLOATER OR THE EXISTING PARKING LOT?

>> OU MEAN ON NUMBER -- YEAH. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: THIS SPACE

EQUATED TO THIS? >> THAT'S CORRECT.

SO THAT'S A GOOD POINT ON PARKING.

YOU WILL NOTICE WHERE 10 AND 11 IS, THAT THERE HAD BEEN PARKING THERE. YOU WILL NOTICE IF YOU LOOK IN THE UPPER RIGHT, THERE IS NEW PARKING THAT IS ADJUSTMENT TO THE CAMPUS. THE REASON WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT IS IT CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A CAMPUS COMMONS THAT GIVES AN EVEN STRONGER FRONT DOOR TO THE NEW BUILDING, THE CURVED ONE. AND HAS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A PERFORMANCE AREA AND A PARK AND A COMMONS AREA THAT OTHER USES CAN LINE AS WELL OVER TIME. THIS BECOMES A CENTER POINT FOR THE BROADER COMMUNITY CAMPUS TO USE THAT TERM.

AND THE PARKING IS STILL VERY CONVENIENT OVER TO THE RIGHT WITH DIRECT CONNECTIONS INTO HE CAMPUSES.

IT'S THE SAME DISTANCE BUT IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION, USING THIS IMPORTANT LOCATION AS THE FRONT ENTRY AND FRONT DOOR KIND OF THE

CEREMONIAL ENTRY. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: WHICH IS THE

FRONT DOOR? >> THAT'S IT.

>> THE AREA IS CURRENT PARKING LOT?

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

[01:15:01]

>> THAT'S CORRECT. GOING BACK TO THE PLAN, THAT'S THAT NUMBER 10 AND 11. CREATES THE CENTER OF CAMPUS AND ALLOWS OTHER USES TO COME IN OVER TIME AROUND IT.

AT YOUR PLEASURE. AND THEN THAT SETS UP EVERYTHING TO THE EAST OVER TIME AS KIND OF THE ORGANIZING AREA FOR WHATEVER THOSE FUTURE USES MIGHT BE. SEE THE BIG IDEAS HERE IS THE COMMONS AT CEDAR VALLEY THAT KIND OF CENTRAL GATHERING AREA THAT OTHER USES CAN RALLY AROUND AS WELL.

IF THE CAMPUS, THE CURRENT ACADEMIC BUILDINGS HAVE FRONTAGE ON. IT CREATES -- IT HAS A LAND STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE PROPERTY AND HOW FUTURE STREETS AND ROADS CAN BE LAID OUT. IT THINKS ABOUT GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN TERMS OF HOW THE PARKING LOTS ARE HANDLED, HOW TRANSIT ITSELF IS HANDLED. WHEN BUSES COME INTO THE CAMPUS HOW IT'S NOT RELEGATED TO A SECONDARY POSITION.

IT'S PRIMARY. AS YOU TAKE TRANSIT IN, YOU FEEL JUST AS IMPORTANT AS ANYBODY ELSE.

SO THE FINAL SLIDE HERE SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION FOR BOTH.

THESE EFFORTS WE'VE TRIED O SUPPORT THE STUDENTS WITH EASIER ACCESS TO EVERYDAY LIFE RESOURCES THAT CREATEDS A STRONGER COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE. CREATES FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE, IN TERMS OF FUTURE USES AND IT MAKES SENSE IN THE MASTER PLAN. IT SUPPORTS YOUR DISCUSSIONS WITH YOUR SERVICE PARTNERS. YOU MENTIONED SOME OF THOSE TODAY. AND GIVES THEM MORE OF A HOOK, IF YOU WILL, OF INTEREST AND WHY THEY WOULD BE COMING IN.

AND THEN ALLOWS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN OVER TIME THROUGH PHASING. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

>> P. RITTER: I MEAN, THIS IS EXCITING.

IT'S REALLY COOL. MASTER PLANS COME AND GO.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I WORRY ABOUT AND TRY TO TO THINK THROUGH WHETHER WE CAN REALIZE THIS, WOULD WE HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

COROLLARY TO THAT IS THERE A WAY TO DRAMATICALLY ACCELERATE THE VISION YOU LAID OUT FOR THE TWO CAMPUSES, PERHAPS WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MASTER PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH A PRIVATE SECTOR VENDOR THAT COULD DO ALL THIS AS OPPOSED TO WE'RE GOING TO DO THE LAKE FIRST AND SEE HOW WE FEEL WHEN THAT'S DONE, THEN DO ANOTHER BUILDING.

THAT'S THE WAY WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT.

IF WE KEEP DOING IT THAT WAY, I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO

HAPPEN. >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

I'M SURE THERE ARE THER OPINIONS.

FROM MY STANDPOINT, WHAT THE INTRIGUING HERE IS THAT FORESIGHT UP FRONT TO ACQUIRE ALL THAT PROPERTY AS YOUR CAMPUS. ACTUALLY I THINK YOU HAVE STUCK TO YOUR MASTER PLAN OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE YOU MAINTAINED THAT PROPERTY AND MAINTAINED KIND OF THE CORE BUILDINGS IN BOTH LOCATIONS. I THINK HE CHALLENGE IS IT'S BEEN SINGULARLY FOCUSED. YOU ARE EDUCATING STUDENTS, WHICH IS GREAT. MEANWHILE THEY HAVE OTHER NEEDS THEY CAN MAKE THEIR EXPERIENCE ON CAMPUS BETTER.

ANOTHER OPTION IS YOU ARE A LANDLORD.

YOU CAN WORK WITH MULTIPLE GROUPS.

IT DOESN'T JUST HAVE TO BE ONE. THE DISTRICT COULD BE ONE OF THOSE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, OU STILL HAVE NEW ACADEMIC BUILDINGS. YOU ARE A DEVELOPER OF THAT AS WELL. IT ALLOWS EVERYONE TO BE WORKING AT THE SAME TIME ON A PLAN THAT PROMOTES ITSELF.

>> CHANCELLOR MAY: WE JUST KIND OF TESTED THIS TO SEE.

WE POST A COUPLE OF HOSPITALS RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

ONE SAID YES, WE'RE DEFINITELY INTERESTED THERE.

WE'VE TALKED TO OTHER FOLKS. WE'RE SEEING IT EVEN DOWNTOWN.

MOST INVITATIONS ARE GETTING ANSWERED WITH, LET ME LEARN MORE. AND IT'S A POSSIBILITY.

I THINK WE'RE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO THESE OMMUNITIES.

PEOPLE KNOW IT AND WANT TO BE A PART OF IT IN A REAL TANGIBLE WAY. BUT IT'S UP TO US TO DO IT.

WE HAVE TO INVITE THEM IN IN THESE CASES AND SET IT UP.

AS WE KIND OF TESTED THE WATER, THE RESPONSE I MEAN IS GENERALLY BEEN POSITIVE ALL THE WAY AROUND.

THE NES THAT DIDN'T WHERE NOT NOW BUT WE'RE NOT BUILDING A CLINIC RIGHT NOW. BUT IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL.

AND SO IT'S A TIMING ISSUE IN THAT CASE.

>> I THINK TH THERE IS A COUPLEF THESE WE HAVE TO DO AS A TEST CASE TO FIGURE IT OUT. DOWNTOWN EDUCATION AND

[01:20:04]

WE NEED TO DO SMALLER ONES TO CUT OUR TEETH AND LEARN.

DR. SEABROOKS AND I HAD THE CONVERSATION F HAVING A DEVELOPER COMING IN. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE READY.

THAT'S A CONCEPT I THINK WE GO THROUGH THAT AND I THINK THERE IS A POINT IN TIME WHERE IT'S APROPOS.

BUT WE'LL DO BABY STEPS AND GET TO THE TEENAGE STAGE AND REBEL AND BECOME A MATURE ADULT AND DO IT RIGHT.

>> THERE IS A GENERAL PHENOMENON THAT YOU SEE AROUND TOWN ANYWHERE IN THE COUNT WHEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH.

-- COUNTY -- THERE MAY BE A NEW ROAD AND YOU START SEEING PAD SITES DEVELOPING AND THERE IS NOTHING BEHIND IT BECAUSE THAT'S THE EASIEST PLACE FOR THE BURGER KING TO GO.

WHEN THAT KIND OF DEVELOPS OUT OR ALONG THE WAY IS NOT NECESSARILY THE MOST PLEASING ENVIRONMENT TO BE IN.

SO THE HOPE HERE IS THAT THERE IS THE NOT THAT ANY DOLLARS, PRIVATE OR PUBLIC THAT GO IN ARE PURPOSEFUL IN TERMS OF WHERE THEY ARE SPENT AND WHY AND CREATING A BETTER CAMPUS EXPERIENCE THAT'S BETTER PROGRAMMED AND FEELS BETTER AS AN ENVIRONMENT. ANYWHERE THAT WE'VE EVER WORKED ON AROUND THE COUNTRY WHERE THAT KIND OF A FOCUS HAS HAPPENED WHETHER PUBLIC OR PRIVATE, THOSE PLACES ARE BETTER FOR IT.

>> P. RITTER: THANK YOU. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR THE BOARD TO SAY, OKAY, EITHER WE WANT MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS, MORE INFORMATION. OR LET'S MOVE ONTO THE NEXT STEP. WE WANT TO DO THIS.

WHAT IS THE REALISTIC TIMELINE FROM BOARD SAYING, LET'S GO FOR IT TO WHERE A GOOD PART OF THE S IS DONE IN TERMS OF FRONT DOORS,

REALISTIC TIMELINE. >> ONE THING WE NEED TO HAVE, AND TRUSTEE RITTER SUGGESTED IT TO ME, IS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO SOME DISCUSSIONS WHAT IS ACCESSIBLE LAND USE AND THE BOARD HAVE A STRATEGY SESSION ON THAT.

THE SECOND PART OF THAT IS THAT WE'VE NOW DONE THREE CAMPUSES.

WE HAVE THREE MORE TO DO. EL CENTRO IS A SEPARATE ISSUE.

SO WE CAN ALSO GET THE BIGGER PICTURE OF WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE EVERYWHERE. WE HAD MORE OF AN INTEREST IN ESPECIALLY THE SOUTH DALLAS COUNTY IN LOOKING AT EL CENTRO OR CEDAR VALLEY AND MOUNTAIN VIEW, BEING ABLE TO SEE WHAT WE'VE DONE. EASTFIELD, IF YOU REMEMBER, HAD A LOT OF THIS IN THIS MASTER PLAN.

AND WE WANTED TO DRY TO DO IT BECAUSE THERE WERE ALL THESE PARTNERSHIPS ABOUT WHAT POTENTIALLY COULD GO IN HERE AND THERE. THESE WERE THE NEXT TWO.

WE STILL NEED TO O, WE HAVE TWO THINGS TO DO.

THE OTHER THREE CAMPUSES AND START TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS

AS A GROUP. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: REALISTIC

TIMELINE TO DO THOSE? >> FIRST ONE IN FEBRUARY R MARCH TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION OR WORKSHOP.

PROBABLY TWO-HOUR FINANCE COMMITTEE TO TALK ABOUT.

WE'LL BRING BACK A LIST OF ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS.

WE BASICALLY GOT THE LIST THE FIRST TIME WE WENT AROUND.

AND KIND OF WORKED ON THAT AGAIN.

IT'S REALLY SETTING UP HIGHER LEVEL, A PHARMACY ACCEPTABLE.

WE DON'T WANT BIG BOX RESTAURANTS.

THOSE ARE TYPES OF DECISIONS WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE INPUT FROM YOU ONTO START TO DEVELOP THE STRATEGY.

>> CHANCELLOR MAY: WE PROBABLY WANT TO VISIT SITES AND HAVE

FOLKS TAKE A LOOK. >> WE CAN MAKE OUR LIST, GO LOOK AT THEM AND SAY, YEAH, I CAN SEE HOW THIS FITS TOGETHER.

THAT GIVES PARIS AN OPPORTUNITY TO START PLUGGING THINGS INTO TO GREEN SPACES AND HAVE YOU HAVE MORE OF A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF BEING ABLE TO SAY THUMBS UP OR THUMBS DOWN.

>> P. RITTER: I'M FAILING AT CONCLUDING THIS MEETING.

>> C. COMPTON: WE HAVE THE MASTER PLAN, WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING IS ENHANCEMENT ON ADD TO THOSE MASTER PLANS.

SO MY QUESTION BECOMES, IN TERMS OF STREETS AND DRIVES AND PARKING AND FOUNDATIONS, WHO PAYS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE? THE STUFF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IT AIN'T GETTING DONE WITH

[01:25:04]

HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT HAPPEN IN AN ORDERLY FASHION AND OVER WHAT TIMEFRAME HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO BUSINESSES ALREADY WHO HAVE INDICATED AN INTEREST IN DEVELOPING? I CAN TELL YOU RI RIGHT NOW, I FIRST WORKED AT MOUNTAIN VIEW IN '71 OR '72, THERE WASN'T NOTHING BUT HOUSES ON KNOXVILLE ROAD.

NONE OF THAT OTHER STUFF EXISTED PERIOD OR WHATEVER.

SOME OF THOSE THINGS HAVE BUILT UP OVER TIME.

THEN ONE OF THE THINGS I DO UNDERSTAND ABOUT COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES WHEN THEY CONSIDER LOCATION AND WHAT THEY WANT TO BUILD WHERE, THEY DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE AREA.

WHAT TYPE OF DEMOGRAPHICS DOES THE MOUNTAIN VIEW AREA HAVE THAT WOULD SUSTAIN A DESIRABLE BUSINESS FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT'S NOT ALREADY THERE. BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO GET INTO BUILDING ANOTHER MCDONALD'S OR BURGER KING.

YOU KNOW, BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING UNIQUE.

I DON'T SEE THIS AS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY. MAYBE MOVING ONTO SOME MORE PROPOSALS IN TERMS OF SPECIFICS. BUT THERE IS A LOT OF PUZZLE

PIECES TO FIT TOGETHER. >> P. RITTER: THANK YOU.

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: MY INPUT AT THIS POINT, IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN HOUSING FOR LOW INCOME, I DON'T KNOW TOO MANY UP AND COMING COMPANIES ARE GOING TO SAY, OH, I WANT TO PUT MY BUSINESS RIGHT NEXT TO LOW-INCOME HOUSING.

IF OUR STUDENTS ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH HOUSING AND FOOD AND MEDICAL NEEDS, EVERYTHING WE SAW TODAY IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BLUE LAGOON. BUT I DON'T KNOW A BUSINESS THAT'S GOING TO PEND THE MONEY TO MAINTAIN THE BLUE LAGOON IF WE'RE PUTTING N OW-INCOME HOUSING.

>> AND I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THAT.

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: AFFORDABLE. >> CHANCELLOR MAY: AFFORDABLE.

BECAUSE LOW INCOME HOUSING HAS A HUD DESIGNATION TO IT THAT BECAUSE IN TALKING WITH STUDENTS, ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAD THE DISCUSSION THE OTHER DAY WITH PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT IS YOUR STUDENT'S RENT THRESHOLD. I SAID AN INFORMAL STUDY IS $60G UTILITIES. THAT'S WHAT I HEARD.

I DON'T KNOW THAT'S TRUE. WE HAVEN'T DONE MARKET STUDIES

ON THIS YET, WE DON'T KNOW. >> PART OF THE THAT IS --

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE. BECAUSE AT THIS POINT WE -- THIS ISN'T EVEN PIE IN THE SKY, LET ALONE SOMETHING ON PAPER.

>> THE GOOD NEWS, THERE ARE GROUPS THAT DO THAT ALREADY, NONPROFITS, ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WITH COLLEGES.

WE HAVE EXAMPLES, THE FOLKS IN THE SPACE.

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: 600 A MONTH. >> IF YOU LOOK AT --

SPEAKERS] >> WITH THE FOURPLEX THAT'S --

>>

>>

[6. Executive Session (if required)]

>> IN THAT --

>> IN THAT SCENARIO IF THAT WERE PRIVATE, IT'S THE JOB OF THE PRIVATE ORGANIZATION TO DO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

I CAN TELL YOU IT'S $600 A MONTH WHEN YOU EQUATE THAT OUT TO PER SQUARE FOOT, IT'S HIGH ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE COST OF

[1) Approval of Award for Creating One College Brand Identity for DCCCD - Recommendation: Push; Funding Source: Operating Budget]

[1) Approval of Amendment to Policy Concerning Board Legal Status – BAA (LOCAL) Management of College District Funds]

AND THE SECOND, THE POLICY ITEM ON FIRST READING CONCERNING THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COLLEGE DISTRICT FUNDS AND CASH RESERVESSISM ANY QUESTIONS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE

[01:30:04]

>> D. ZIMMERMANN: CASH RESERVES UNTIL WE FOUND OUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE MISSING FROM THE TORNADO DAMAGE, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT LOOSING MONEY WHEN WE DON'T KNOW THE HIT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE FROM THE HOME DEPOT THAT WAS BLOWN WITH AND ALL THE HOUSING DECAD. AND THOSE ARE NOT GOING TO BE DONE IN SIX MONTHS AND REBUILT AND EVERYTHING BETTER.

>> IF WE USE THE INDUSTRY AMOUNTS, WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE ON THE HIGH SIDE BECAUSE IT COVERS EVERYTHING, NOT JUST TAXABLE CEASED VALUABLE, THAT IS $2 BILLION.

WE EXPECT THE INCREASE IN T.A.V. TO MORE THAN OFFSET THOSE LOSSES. IT WOULD BE AS THE INCREASE WOULD NOT BE AS MUCH AS THE 7-9% RANGE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. MAY BE IN THE MORE 4 TO 5% RANGE. BUT WE WOULD SEE AS A T.A.V.

INCREASE FOR THE UPCOMING TAX INCREASE.

IT WOULD HAVE AN EFFECT BUT AGAIN, IF THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE DO IN BUDGET. WE'RE NOT GOING OUT TO JUST GET RID OF THE FUNDS RIGHT AWAY. THOSE FUNDS FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL A NEW BUDGET COMES IN AND THE BOARD APPROVES THE USE, IF ANY AT ALL, THAT IS THE DECISION POINT OF WHEN TO MAKE, DECIDE WHAT TO SPEND MONEY ON AND NOT TO SPEND MONEY ON.

>> CHANCELLOR MAY: THIS IS NOT ABOUT SPENDING MONEY RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS CLARIFYING THE POLICY. >> ONE OF THE THINGS I HAD AS I TRIED TO SAY IN THE CAFR STUFF, THERE IS NO SEARCH THING AS FUND BALANCE AS THE CURRENT POLICY HAS.

WE'RE DEFINING CASH RESERVES, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS WE HAVE ON HAND AND DEAL WITH THE CASH SITUATION OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IN CASH RESERVES AS OPPOSED TO HAVING A FUND BALANCE, WHICH DOESN'T QUITE FRANKLY EXIST ANYMORE.

THAT'S MORE THE IMPORTANT REASON OF WHY.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, 4 TO 6 MONTHS IS JUST WAY HIGHER THAN WHAT WE'VE SEEN ELSEWHERE. BUT THAT MONEY IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. IT DOESN'T DISAPPEAR. IT STAYS UNTIL THE BOARD DECIDES TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

>> P. RITTER: YOU TOLD US THE IMPACT ON TORNADOES AND T.A.V.

WOULD BE IMMATERIAL. --

>> THIS YEAR. THERE IS ONLY TWO MONTHS.

NEXT YEAR WE'LL SEE A FULL IMPACT.

THAT WILL BE OFFSET BY INCREASES IN THE T.A.V.

IF WE LOSE $2 BILLION, WE'RE GOING TO SEE A NET NCREASE OF $5 BILLION, RATHER THAN THE 7 BILLION.

IT'S STILL AN INCREASE. THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASE IN TAX REVENUE, NOT AS MUCH. THAT'S AS MUCH AS I CAN ANSWER.

I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OR WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO GET THE NUMBER. IT DOES TAKE TIME TO REAPPRAISE IT. AND THEY TRY TO DO IT AS FAST AS

THEY CAN. >> P. RITTER: THE POLICY CHANGE THAT'S UP TONIGHT ON FIRST READING, WHICH MEANS WE'LL GET TO SEE IT AGAIN NEXT MONTH, PROPOSES CHANGING THE AMOUNT OF CASH RESERVES NOT MORE THAN SIX MONTHS, FLOOR TO CEILING, TWO MONTHS, PERIOD. I SUPPORT PERSONALLY LOWERING THE FLOOR, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVED IN THE CAFR ABOUT US HOLDING ONTO CLOSE TO $500 MILLION, HALF BILLION WORTH OF CASH, COUPLED WITH THE FACT $380 MILLION OF LIABILITIES WE'RE CARRYING ON PENSIONS AND HEALTH CARE THAT WE WILL LIKELY NEVER HAVE TO PAY.

WE'RE SITTING ON A LOT OF CASH. I THINK THE RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO IS SPEND IT IF WE CAN AVOID DEBT AND SO FORTH.

THIS BOARD IS NEVER, THE THREE YEARS I'VE BEEN ON IT, USED CASH RESERVES TO CUT OUR EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.

AND IF WE TAKE THE 92%, WE'LL HAVE LESS ON A CUSHION TO DEAL WITH FLUCTUATIONS IN T.A.V. THAN IF WE KEPT IT AT A HIGHER LEVEL.

I'M COMFORTABLE WITH 3% AS A FLOOR AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS OVER, OVER THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE OR TWO HOW THE CASH ESERVES ARE SPENT AND LEVELS FALL DOWN. I JUST THINK WE OUGHT TO KEEP THE CUSHION BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO NEED IT SOME DAY.

I WOULD RATHER IT BE AVAILABLE THAN INCREASE THE TAX RATE IN

THE FUTURE. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: ARE YOU

TALKING ABOUT 3 MONTHS? >> P. RITTER: YES.

[1) Finance Committee Notes for November 5, 2019]

CORRECT. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: 3%.

[01:35:03]

>> CHANCELLOR MAY: WE CAN MAKE THAT AMENDMENT AND BRING IT BACK

AT THE NEXT MEETING. >> P. RITTER: WE CAN RUN

NUMBERS. >> CHAIR D. FLORES: WE CAN SEE IF THERE IS A CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD FOR THREE OR TWO MONTHS.

>> P. RITTER: ANALYZE THAT AND LET US DISCUSS THAT ON THE SECOND READING AND WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.

IS THAT ACCEPTABLE? VERY GOOD.

ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? NO QUESTIONS ON THE MARKETING

STUFF? >> CHAIR D. FLORES: I'VE GOT A QUESTION OR COMMENT REGARDING THE COMMITTEE NOTES.

READY? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: LAST BOARD MEETING WE HAD THE PRESENTATION BY CVRE AND EAM, WHICH WAS QUITE INTERESTING.

BUT JUST WANT TO MAKE URE WE'RE NOT RELEGATING ANY OF THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PEOPLE OR ANYBODY THAT'S GOING TO RECEIVE A CONTRACT ON BOND PROJECTS TO ONLY SUBCONTRACTOR STATUS IF THEY HAVE A CAPACITY TO DO -- TO SERVE AS A PRIME.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS, AND IT MIGHT BE ERRONEOUS INFORMATION, FOR THIS FIRST GROUP OF PROJECTS THAT THE MVE ARCHITECTS WERE AT A SUBCONTRACTOR LEVEL EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD THE CAPACITY TO SERVE AS A PRIME BECAUSE THE HIGHEST WAS 30 SOME ODD MILLION, AND ARCHITECTS HAVE CAPACITY OF 50 MILLION PLUS IN TERMS OF BUILDINGS THEY HAVE DESIGNED FOR.

AND ANOTHER ONE WAS IN THE 100 MILLION TO $150 MILLION RANGE. WE'RE NOT TAKING THE POSITION OR LETTING THE PROGRAM MANAGER TAKE THE POSITION THAT MB ARCHITECTS CAN ONLY OPERATE AT THE SUBCONTRACT LEVEL, CORRECT OR

NOT? >> LET ME CLARIFY FIRST COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE, PROGRAM ANAGER DOES THOUGHT SELECT THE ARCHITECTS, CONTRACTORS OR ANY OTHER PERSON.

THEY MAY ADVICE BUT THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELECTION.

>> CHAIR D. FLORES: OKAY. >> MY STAFF W WILL BE THE ONES O WILL INTERVIEW, MAKE THOSE DECISIONS AND HAVE ALL ALONG S TO DO THAT. THEY TAKE INPUT, SOMETIMES VERY GOOD
