Miami City Council
📝 Transcript● Synced
00:02All right, we'll call it a regular scheduled meeting of my
00:04city council from Monday, July 1st, 2024.
00:08But the input, let's go to personal passes.

00:33Five minutes from the June.
00:3417, 20, 24, regular meeting in the June 24th, 2024, special meeting.
00:40Most of the proof.
00:41Time.
00:43He's set by.
00:44Don't go.
00:45Hi.
00:45Fittman.
00:46Hi.
00:46Parker.
00:47Five.
00:49Discussion, possible action.
00:50Lead agency application and plans for the community change grant.
00:54And upcoming movie and Riverview Park.
00:57Mr. Buckejim.
00:58And Martin looks like.
01:08All right.
01:10As some of you know, we have a plot.
01:14We are in the process of putting together an application for a community change grant from the EPA.
01:20This would be a $10,000,000,000,000 investment for our community.
01:27The purpose of the grant is really to meet three goals.
01:30Right.
01:30Let me back up first.
01:31I can't.
01:31What we're.
01:32What we're looking to do, where we have a meeting scheduled with Tyler and Ben tomorrow.
01:39And we'll be talking more about the details and mechanics of this.
01:44I don't know if this will have to go before the city council for a formal vote and approval.
01:49So we're not asking for any vote today.
01:53But what we want to do today is give you an overview of what this great proposal is.
01:59What the city's involvement could be if the city wants to be involved and to take questions and engage in a discussion that you folks may have.
02:11So what is this grant?
02:13What's it about?
02:16The grant looks to do three things.
02:19Every successful application has to do three things.
02:21First, it has to protect against pollution and exposure to pollution.
02:26Right.
02:26So here that obviously is flooding.
02:29It's dark creek.
02:31Second, it has to mitigate against the effects of climate change in some way.
02:36And so again, that speaks to flooding and flooding preparedness.
02:41The third is, and this is the magic sauce in this grant.
02:46It has to provide other community benefits.
02:50So if we built a burn to prevent dark creek from flooding myama,
02:54that would achieve the first two objectives.
02:56But it doesn't do anything else for our community.
03:00What EPA wants to do is they want to provide large amounts of money to help communities transform themselves.
03:10They want to build big, build big things in communities, and it has to be built and finished within three years.
03:19They want to build big things in communities that will catalyze future growth, future development in really powerful ways.
03:31So, what's the proposal that we are looking at?
03:37We are looking at no real opportunities close by to get close to nature in a space that is safe that doesn't look and feel like your typical city park.
03:59People want to hike, you want to go for a hike, where do you go? You drive up to Joplin, you go to Shull Creek.
04:05Beyond that, you're looking at, and there are the trails over near the reporter course.
04:14Beyond that, you're looking at Arkansas. You're looking at driving at least an hour, maybe two hours, maybe three hours.
04:22Well, this grant says, hey, we could bring that here. We could create something like that here, and the opportunity is where we view park.
04:33So, we're not going to go over each and every slide, you will have digital copies of them, but we are going to hit sort of five points here and we're back into you want to take it from here.
04:45So, if we were looking at just the basics of what we could do, we could dream small. We could imagine doing something on this side of the river, just like it is, and change the early part of the park into a tall grass, and I know we've already got some of that happening in this community.
05:13And the other pollinator gardens that is drowning his provided the city.
05:20But we're looking to create these trails that could be moe differently. You could have a different route through the park next year, and the year after you could change it every year.
05:33That park could be that part of the park would be burned to maintain it every few years to make sure that these tall grass grow as they should in our maintain well.
05:49Then the other part of the park is the forest, and I know some of you have wandered down there.
06:00It's absolutely magical.
06:02You already have a forest.
06:04Why not be enjoyed?
06:08Why not create trails that would go to it?
06:13And with this first vision, you would walk through the park,
06:19you would walk down into the forest.
06:23And you could connect to the future trail
06:26that the Ottawa County is putting in,
06:30you're hoping to put it.
06:32It would have overlooked platforms.
06:34And we've got some images over here
06:36of what some of those platforms might look like.
06:40And again, the fishing pierce and the other ways
06:44to access the river.
06:46I like this, but I want more.
06:54And I want us to dream bigger.
06:58And we, through some imagining, with some of the city
07:03officials, perhaps one day the established ball parks
07:09we moved, because in a flood, they're hard to clean now.
07:14So perhaps they could be moved.
07:16And perhaps there's where they were.
07:18Maybe you would have soccer fields.
07:21It would be easily maintained in a flood.
07:25But that tall grass Perry, otherwise,
07:28could continue to grow.
07:31And in this one, you see mounds.
07:34And this is the really Ottawa County
07:36is the home for six tribes that had mounds in their culture.
07:43They built mounds that are now, like in Ohio,
07:49world heritage sites.
07:52These tribes here came from a long history
07:59and a culture connected with mounds.
08:01Perhaps this could incorporate some of that into this park,
08:10along this riverfront.
08:17You really can't tell by this image.
08:20But we're imagining banks that are stabilized
08:25so that you have rows of seating are sitting.
08:31And then another row below.
08:34So you've got access to fish, or to sit, and watch the river.
08:41Where we really have very little access.
08:44I mean, we can stand up at the edge, but that's about all you can do,
08:48or maybe step down and sit on the steps, if you want.
08:51But very little.
08:53And then imagine, with us, we expand and we go across the river.
09:00And we have the park grow to include maybe it's the other disk golf course that we lost.
09:12Maybe that's over there.
09:13Maybe there's trails for the horses.
09:16Maybe there's another way we enjoy that part of the park.
09:21And how do we get there?
09:23We're imagining a pedestrian bridge over to the other side of the river.
09:31There's a much expanded walkway in the forest so that maybe you only want to one mile walk.
09:41Maybe you want it along the walk, so you can do loops there.
09:49If you want to, you can imagine with us what some of those facilities could look like.
09:56So when we met a couple of weeks ago, we put the floodplain managers in the room with
10:04us and tuned in Oklahoma Water Resources Board to figure out what do you think?
10:13Can we do a thing like this?
10:14And they said, well, you know, you just need some permits.
10:18Well, with this grant, we've got the money to do the permits, we've got, we believe the time
10:25to do it.
10:42Another piece and what's really exciting about this grant is when the landscape designers were
10:48providing us with technical assistance to make all of the maintenance of the right.
10:53And these are proposals.
10:54These are ideas.
10:55This is not a final design proposal.
10:58This is what goes in our application to say, here's our vision, right.
11:03And what actually gets built will probably be different in some, but one of the things that really
11:10came up with landscape desires when they were in town is that we have so many people who want
11:18to get around by foot or by bicycle, or we have to get around by foot or by bicycle, but
11:24we don't have much signage, we have all these places where people need to get, we've got schools
11:29in town, we've got parks in town, grocery stores, we have NEO, A&M, college, sites that are
11:40important for our community, you know, the old B of good rich place, knows what's going to
11:47have.
11:50We have opportunity, maybe, and so this part of the proposal could possibly be part
11:57of this grant action, making...
12:00signed by trails or paths, right?
12:04There may be more involved permitting issues
12:07with making this happen.
12:08So this may not be possible to achieve within three years.
12:11But what's really exciting is that they went
12:14in the trouble of designing an exhibition.
12:19And if something like this were something
12:21that the community wants to pursue in the future,
12:24but it can't be done in three years,
12:26because that's the requirement of this grant
12:27to do in three years in your dark, right?
12:30Who we have this, that we use in a later grant application
12:35to fund something like that.
12:38And that is part of the point of this grant
12:40is to catalyze not just this project,
12:43but for this to become a spring or less.
12:47So that's one piece.
12:49Another is sign.
12:51And here I'll say we already have a five-year commitment
12:57from the National Park Service to provide us
12:59with technical assistance
13:01for making different kinds of signage.
13:04And that is an integral, if we get this community
13:07to create with this project.
13:09So we have tremendous history here.
13:12We have the history of folks who work to be at good rich.
13:15We have the history of mining.
13:17I mean, you think about all the interesting history
13:21that's going on in some local Facebook groups, right?
13:25Where people are really sharing local history.
13:27We can commemorate that public sign.
13:30We can recognize our unique ecology.
13:35The nature that we have is important that this community, I think,
13:39learned to reconnect and we've got.
13:42And so we can show signage about local birds,
13:45about local plants, in places where you're going
13:47to find that including a long parkour,
13:51and that's the other thing we need to establish.
13:59This says that anything around here is
14:05littered outside the repository on these 40 road south of the pitch.
14:09That is the only permanently installed signage work.
14:12Now we don't need to blast it everywhere.
14:16But a long parkour, where kids are swimming,
14:19we need permits.
14:22We need signs that with children in mining.
14:32And so that is part of rendering of what
14:41what's the mountains and so on.
15:03But we've been staying for like all of this design instead of pretending so as to lay that hello be the response
15:49Millions city the city would chiefly the lead app can take the money and manage this band is so large and I would say
15:58I mean putting my formal orders hat on for a second
16:01You know the city would have to hire someone just to manage this because all the money spent has to follow federal
16:10And this grant contemplates when we get to the money hiring a full-time person to manage it a full-time project manager
16:18Right bookkeeper
16:20That's all built into the contemplated budget for this so they go with me that while the city would be responsible for managing the money
16:29You would have to oversee those people you wouldn't have to task your current bookkeeper's to manage this money
16:37Right that you don't have to have a really shoot me hats on staff don't place that word on it
16:46But chiefly managed money, but also you would put the city in the position of having a great deal of say over how the decisions are made in the city property
17:01Right, you know the city owns it and so as the person managing the product manager you folks would be in the position that we have to
17:12So I need to back up. We will have a letter agreement that lays out everybody's responsibility
17:18So we would be the statutory department city would be the letter laying that out will spell every single thing out
17:26That's what we speak with Tom and there are templates out there. We don't have to admit this from the law
17:34There are templates out there
17:37The folks were helping us with the application
17:40They're working with
17:46The chiefly is a matter of money
18:02possible for the city probably has more experience managing larger grants than we do.
18:13Thoughts are concerned from Vanderbilt.
18:15We're seeing all of this gives us an introduction to our conversation tomorrow.
18:26So do you guys have them at pretty much film?
18:28Yes, I'll brief presentation on it.
18:30I've talked with Martin about you didn't see you in the press.
18:36I was focused on the land version question.
18:40So it says the discussion of possible action.
18:43No actual action.
18:44No actual action.
18:46I'd like to share with you also the fact that as a nonprofit, this grant can't be given just to a city.
19:00It has to have a partner that's a nonprofit.
19:05And we were approached to apply for the technical assistance for this and we received it.
19:14It was a $200,000 grant that brought us no money, but it brought us the architects.
19:21Here, to visit with the community and get our concerns and go back and design a project that could meet some of our needs.
19:33And what I see with this project is hope.
19:38And I know when you see me come in the door, you go, oh no, what's wrong with that?
19:49I know it, but this could bring us all joy and hope for a new change.
20:00It is a change grant.
20:02And one that I believe the city deserves to have.
20:06And whatever we can do to make the application as strong as we can, we will.
20:12We believe that this city deserves a change.
20:17So long term, say it's all put in and it's functional.
20:23It can be used daily.
20:25Who maintains the, everything, who maintains the cleans it, change out the boards.
20:34So that is part of what we have to figure out, because that part of the application is main change.
20:44And we get to decide that together, what commonly will happen in grants like this is the city might give what's considered sort of wondering if the rights of you want to change for them.
21:00What are the trails going to all respiratory
21:02and low at different lengths of pride?
21:04If there's something unusual that needs to be done,
21:06that might fall on this category,
21:08far from the non-profit organization, right?
21:11But we get to figure that out together.
21:13We get to define how we want that to work
21:16and what each of us thinks we can do.
21:19What I will say is that this is really designed to be as low
21:22maintenance as possible.
21:24So that's why using composite materials and simple
21:27at the core pride is much, much more durable.
21:30It's not hair or waterway.
21:31So yeah, I mean, those are things that we're out of.
21:45And we will spell out before we apply it.
21:49Was that a copy of the interview with that?
21:51Does that include removing all the sediment off of that?
21:53Nice looking thing when the flood water is reside,
21:56and there's six to eight inches of mud on it.
21:59And that's what we're going to have to talk about.
22:00Is, is, you know, how do we feel with that?
22:03And maybe that will be in part of the design.
22:06I mean, maybe it will be such that there are
22:09there are removal cutouts,
22:11edging for safety, but maybe you remove part of it.
22:14And that's where it gets swept off for a period of it.
22:20But yeah, I mean, those are all things that we have to look after
22:23to figure out.
22:24And the first step that we get this right is going to be bringing in
22:30an actual engineering platform to do the real real design,
22:36which will begin to address some of those specific concerns.
22:39How do we wash this off?
22:40We know we're going to have to pick them on.
22:42How do we get it off?
22:43Do we need to be able to support tiny little front end loader that can just scrape it?
22:47Like, it's a little black hole?
22:49You know, what do we need?
22:51So yeah, I mean, great question.
22:53I don't know if you need to buy it, but that's working together.
23:02Nice when you get that one slide.
23:03And you're soon right talk about the splash pad area.
23:06And you said, never mind, cities already have some plans here.
23:08Yeah, yeah, sorry, you have a question.
23:11So the thing we have planned there is city pool.
23:15Is that something this grant can help with?
23:18It's possible.
23:21Quite possible.
23:24And the really thing is these are just IP,
23:26these are starting points for purposes of getting the app.
23:29If the city is really serious, but the question is,
23:33can you do it three years?
23:35Because that's the thing, this has to be built and done.
23:39Well, the city is two years away from step one.
23:43That might be a challenge.
23:46You've got a mound right where the pool is at,
23:48so for you, you're done in three years.
23:51It'll have to be done in three years.
23:53Yeah, I mean, that's something we definitely talk about.
24:03The verb, they go, this is out.
24:27Thank you.
24:28Then let's talk about the movies.
24:30Oh, I remember.
24:32You thought, you know, there's something else here.
24:35Change a pace.
24:38Yeah, we were able to, well, I think some of you got
24:43to see meet me at the creek, the little film that Lauren Waters did.
24:49Well, she didn't stop there.
24:52She applied for other grants.
24:55One of them was for a pop-up movie theater screen that's 16-foot diameter.
25:02And it pops up.
25:04You air it up.
25:07And with it, the our commitment is to show movies.
25:14And so we would like to show movies at Riverview Park, this summer.
25:20And one evening, and we'll see if it's a hit.
25:23Maybe we'll want to do it more often.
25:25But at least one evening at Riverview Park.
25:28We want to show four little short movies.
25:33One will be meet me at the creek.
25:36Another is Save Our Creek, which is a little film that are summer campers.
25:43And another is the river is me and one other one.
25:47They're very short films.
25:50And yeah, so it would be July 12th.
25:55And start.
25:57We'd hope people would gather about 830.
26:01And we'd love to have you all come.
26:04And in my dream of dreams, I'd like to have a row of boxes with little wheels on it.
26:11And pillows in the boxes for little children to sit in, like the movie theater.
26:15I'd like to drive in.
26:19Anyway, yeah, and we.
26:23With the grant, we also got our own popcorn machine.
26:27So we'll be having popcorn.
26:29And there's no cost.
26:31We're all about the popcorn, right?
26:36So anyway, it's something fun to do this summer.
26:41And we're hoping that you would approve that.
26:48That would actually go through your Kevin.
26:52So far so good.
26:53Thank you.
26:54Well, I'll tell you, I already have a previous engagement on the 12th.
27:00be there. Okay. I don't know about the rest of you guys. Thank Brian as the same engagement
27:06I have actually. Yeah. So, at least that's the Kevin. Yeah. If you, if you want to, we'll
27:14save you a seat. But you better bring your own chair. I might not have a niff bug. Thank you very much.
27:22Thank you. Number seven, a budget member 24, 21, that's 21, city managers, budget,
27:29receding, it's been a $10,561.33, for sales tax incentive, agreement, C, 23, that's 64,
27:37reimburseing 75% of submitted sales tax for five years, or $50,000 whichever comes first,
27:45library receding, and spending $6,444.10 a donations for the specific program indicated.
27:53Emergency management, receding, and spending $4,294 a 30 cents on the insurance for
27:59every money to pay for silent repair. So, this is the first amendment for this fiscal year,
28:07and it's just what you said. It's in three parts. One is to receive an expense, sales tax incentive,
28:15agreement, C, 23, that's 64. That is where the new business got 75% of their sales tax.
28:27And that's going to get that last for either five years or up to $50,000, which ever comes first.
28:33The library is asking to recede in and spend some donations, money, and then emergency management,
28:38wanting to expense, some insurance funds to repair sirens.
28:50Hi.
28:55Hey, annual field lease agreement for the city of my own multi-purpose sports complex on the
29:02annual and in campus with my and with community facilities authority for fiscal year 24, 25.
29:09This is the eighth year of the eighth of agreements we had with MCFA. It allows us the city to use
29:16the stadium for the exact same amount. It gives us the same access to it that in the O and mine of public schools
29:24house. So, they have 10 to 11 good long games. We can have 10 to 11 events.
29:33How many do we usually have?
29:36Well, they're the first we had two or three in that we don't have.
29:43Well, good if we wanted to. If we approve this.
29:50Oh, yeah, eight minus one. That's right. We used to have a J C double A.
30:03I'll make a motion when you approve.
30:09Sit back.
30:15Sit back.
30:16Sit back.
30:17Parker.
30:20Not in ratify city manager's signature on a traveler's authorization to buy and coverage
30:24for fiscal year 2425.
30:28Cindy and Christie.
30:29Yes.
30:30Hey.
30:31We just we would like your approval to ratify the signature for the travelers.
30:36The authorization to buy and coverage for fiscal year 2425.
30:41Anything special?
30:47We are still negotiating to get a lower premium.
30:52So this the numbers that we have on here are going to be a little bit less than what we have on the farm.
30:59Things have changed since.
31:01Right.
31:19Back to us.
31:20So thank you to them for working on it.
31:21Obviously we want to have insurance.
31:23So we signed it.
31:24So we can enjoy first.
31:25We have the policy that they're working on.
31:27So we need to approve this to stay with our insurance.
31:30Okay.
31:31But I mean there are still planning to lower it.
31:33Right.
31:34They've split their commission.
31:35They gave they went from a 15% commission down to 7.5%.
31:39So we're still working on getting all the accurate numbers back.
31:43Motion to approve.
31:46Second.
31:48All right.
31:49All right.

32:32156 seats to that.
32:33Sold out less than 48 hours.
32:36They wouldn't sure how fast it was going to go or how well it's going to go.
32:40And I know there's a lot of people up sick.
32:42They didn't get to come.
32:44But it was learning learning experience.
32:46But they knocked it out of park.
32:47It was a great event.
32:48It was more than just about community.
32:50Really wouldn't have a lot of talking.
32:52And.
32:53And stop it.
32:54Just people busy.
32:55And it was nice meal.
32:56I think they already planned an hour for the fall.
32:59And the.
33:00or should be increased and so everybody have an opportunity to go, but if you get a chance
33:05of the fall, you should go.
33:07That's it.
33:08It was really good to be at.
33:09So, good to go.
33:10So those girls were bringing something new to the community that kind of brought everybody together
33:13around the heart of downtown.
33:15So, so I got, see you, Amanda.
33:18I mean, you can't just have a couple of things.
33:20So, first off, thank you to the board for this opportunity and I today is my first official
33:25day as the city manager, so I know it's a new time I would end up doing meet and greet
33:29and sometimes I'm down the road, so, but thank you, I'm thinking to the board, and that
33:34was my whole best time to go to the city to be the city manager, maybe came a little sooner
33:39than I thought, but here I am.
33:41I want to thank my utility screws.
33:42I mean, there's a bunch of them back there, without them, we would not be as accessible as we are.
33:47So, thank you very much.
33:48We've done a lot of things for the community a lot, and I mean, I appreciate everybody showing up
33:51tonight and showing their support, so I'm going to see it to you, I just think about it, I don't
33:56know how to have emotions or whatever, so, I mean, streets, streets, it's part of the utility
34:01screen, when I say utility streets, it's part of it, Robert's back there, so, thank you guys,
34:05and we've done anywhere from Skita, sub stations, all the streets, all the water lines, it's
34:10just, you know, we've had a huge deal, and then lastly, I want to thank my family, my wife and
34:14daughter here, Tinsley and Ryan, my son couldn't be here tonight, he is with his dad, you know,
34:20my uncle, I've never gone to whatever he became to fire chief, I remember going to that one,
34:23they made in the fire chief, so, my uncle David, he worked here for how many years, they've
34:28had 32 years, and then my mom and dad, I love him to dad, my dad is still not excited about
34:33me doing this job, but my mom says, go for it, but my dad, you know, I think he's still
34:38reserved on it, so, but I'm excited, you know, so, I'm gonna back up, I thought we had to
34:44just later, but I guess I'll miss my family, so my back up to the mayor council time, I'll tell
34:51her, by the way, we went through the process and had 29 applicants for the job, a city manager, we broke
34:59that down to 9, and Tyler was in top of the list, we were married at 9, so, we went through everything
35:06to break those down, and in fact, in that meeting of 9, one of our council, we were people
35:12who were hired to pay, so, why are we wasting our time?
35:15Our guys here, let's just hire him to move on, well, we need to do our due diligence, and we need
35:21to do that for the community, but we need to do it for Tyler as well, because we didn't want
35:26somebody to come back and say we just hand in the job, because he was here, we didn't hand
35:31in the job, because it was easy to do that, we felt like we owed him better than that, so,
35:37we broke it down to 3, again, Tyler was in top, and once we broke it down to 3, one of the
35:45applicants, really the only competition, Tyler had my opinion, people doubt for families, so I believe
35:56I believe what I'm going to say truly, is that God let us win this game.
36:00And we allowed him to dictate what we were doing.
36:04And we just had to follow what he was putting in front of us.
36:07And every time I make him lean back to Tyler.
36:11So Tyler was right guy for this job.
36:13We did our new diligence as a team to make sure
36:17that there wasn't somebody else out there.
36:20He kept wanting to Tyler.
36:22And I'm going to go back and tell a little story
36:25about when we named him interim.
36:28And the first time around when I first got elected mayor,
36:32he had been named the interim about a week before I
36:35took over his mayor.
36:37And Tyler struggled with that the first time around.
36:41He struggled with being the interim.
36:43He didn't want to upset anybody.
36:45He didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
36:48And I think it's setting back a little bit that first time around.
36:52And the second time, he impressed the heck out of me,
36:56the maturity and the growth that I see in Tyler was huge
37:00from the first time to the second time.
37:02In fact, he wasn't going to apply.
37:04And I asked him to apply after watching in the interim role.
37:08But I remember the conversation we had in the parking lot out
37:12here and I said, Tyler, he said, I'm going to do better this time around.
37:16So I know you are because I'm going to make sure you do.
37:19And that's the first time around.
37:21You sucked at this.
37:23And you can't suck at this time.
37:25I said, the only thing that saved you was I was a brand new mayor and I sucked at that.
37:29So he's the one who's going to do that this time.
37:33But he really has impressed me and I was at that because we hired the best one period.
37:39And I will have that discussion with anybody that wants to have that discussion out of the
37:44afternoon.
37:45We had we hired the best candidate.
37:47So congratulations Tyler.
37:48I know you're going to do great.
37:49I'm going to say in that, I want to thank his family.
37:52I definitely want to thank his wife because he's going to be gone.
37:55It's an awful death against him.
37:57If you're mad anybody, be mad at Kevin.
38:00I can take it.
38:02You guys think I'll say his name.
38:08I'm sorry.
38:09I'm sorry.
38:10Okay.
38:11With that, we're going to 14, which is this meeting, we're not going to be continued from the Council
38:15Chambers.
38:16We're going to be in the staff room for the purpose of executive session.
38:18Ethical completion of the agenda item number 6 of the MIPFA.

All right, we'll call it a regular scheduled meeting of my city council from Monday, July 1st, 2024. But the input, let's go to personal passes. We've got none. Three times less, much to do. So I can. He's set by. Fittman. Hi. Don't go. Hi. Parker. Hi. Four. Claims less for any. O. Concrete. Much to approve. Sign up. He's set by. Don't go. Fittman. Who's then? Parker. Five. Five minutes from the June. 17, 20, 24, regular meeting in the June 24th, 2024, special meeting. Most of the proof. Time. He's set by. Don't go. Hi. Fittman. Hi. Parker. Five. Discussion, possible action. Lead agency application and plans for the community change grant. And upcoming movie and Riverview Park. Mr. Buckejim. And Martin looks like. All right. As some of you know, we have a plot. We are in the process of putting together an application for a community change grant from the EPA. This would be a $10,000,000,000,000 investment for our community. The purpose of the grant is really to meet three goals. Right. Let me back up first. I can't. What we're. What we're looking to do, where we have a meeting scheduled with Tyler and Ben tomorrow. And we'll be talking more about the details and mechanics of this. I don't know if this will have to go before the city council for a formal vote and approval. So we're not asking for any vote today. But what we want to do today is give you an overview of what this great proposal is. What the city's involvement could be if the city wants to be involved and to take questions and engage in a discussion that you folks may have. So what is this grant? What's it about? The grant looks to do three things. Every successful application has to do three things. First, it has to protect against pollution and exposure to pollution. Right. So here that obviously is flooding. It's dark creek. Second, it has to mitigate against the effects of climate change in some way. And so again, that speaks to flooding and flooding preparedness. The third is, and this is the magic sauce in this grant. It has to provide other community benefits. So if we built a burn to prevent dark creek from flooding myama, that would achieve the first two objectives. But it doesn't do anything else for our community. What EPA wants to do is they want to provide large amounts of money to help communities transform themselves. They want to build big, build big things in communities, and it has to be built and finished within three years. They want to build big things in communities that will catalyze future growth, future development in really powerful ways. So, what's the proposal that we are looking at? We are looking at no real opportunities close by to get close to nature in a space that is safe that doesn't look and feel like your typical city park. People want to hike, you want to go for a hike, where do you go? You drive up to Joplin, you go to Shull Creek. Beyond that, you're looking at, and there are the trails over near the reporter course. Beyond that, you're looking at Arkansas. You're looking at driving at least an hour, maybe two hours, maybe three hours. Well, this grant says, hey, we could bring that here. We could create something like that here, and the opportunity is where we view park. So, we're not going to go over each and every slide, you will have digital copies of them, but we are going to hit sort of five points here and we're back into you want to take it from here. So, if we were looking at just the basics of what we could do, we could dream small. We could imagine doing something on this side of the river, just like it is, and change the early part of the park into a tall grass, and I know we've already got some of that happening in this community. And the other pollinator gardens that is drowning his provided the city. But we're looking to create these trails that could be moe differently. You could have a different route through the park next year, and the year after you could change it every year. That park could be that part of the park would be burned to maintain it every few years to make sure that these tall grass grow as they should in our maintain well. Then the other part of the park is the forest, and I know some of you have wandered down there. It's absolutely magical. You already have a forest. Why not be enjoyed? Why not create trails that would go to it? And with this first vision, you would walk through the park, you would walk down into the forest. And you could connect to the future trail that the Ottawa County is putting in, you're hoping to put it. It would have overlooked platforms. And we've got some images over here of what some of those platforms might look like. And again, the fishing pierce and the other ways to access the river. I like this, but I want more. And I want us to dream bigger. And we, through some imagining, with some of the city officials, perhaps one day the established ball parks we moved, because in a flood, they're hard to clean now. So perhaps they could be moved. An
