THE THEME OF THE SILENT AUCTION IS, UM, FUEL, A LOVE OF READING.

THIS FUNDRAISING EVENT IS GOING TO RUN FROM TUESDAY, THE 2ND OF DECEMBER THROUGH FRIDAY, THE 5TH OF DECEMBER.

THE ITEMS FOR THE AUCTION WILL BE DISPLAYED AT THE OPEN HOUSE ON THURSDAY, THE 4TH OF DECEMBER.

THE PRO, UH, THE PROCEEDS ARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THE LIBRARY PROVIDES FOR THE CITIZENS OF LEAK CITY.

UH, THE STAR ATTRACTION OF THIS INAUGURAL SILENT AUCTION IS A DOLLHOUSE THAT WAS DONATED TO THE FRIENDS.

ALL RIGHT.

CHIP HOICK.

UNFORTUNATELY, I FORGOT MY MUSIC.

CHIP HOICK.

I LIVE AT FIVE 12 SEA LANE.

I'M HERE TO DISCUSS THE NOISE, UH, PROTOCOL COMING UP TO VOTE, I'M SURE IN A SHORT WHILE.

I LIVE ON HARBOR SIX, WHICH IS A PAR FIVE AT THE SOUTH SHORE COUNTRY CLUB.

I'VE BEEN OUT THERE FOR TWO YEARS NOW.

I'VE JUST RENOVATED MY BACKYARD AND HAVING A GREAT TIME ON THE COURSE.

I'VE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPLAINING THAT THERE'S NOISE PRIOR TO SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

UH, SINCE I'VE BEEN THERE, THE ONLY NOISE THAT I'VE EVER HEARD WAS ON A TOURNAMENT DAY WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO PREPARE THE GREENS AND THE SAND TRAPS FOR TOURNAMENT PLAY EVEN.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THERE IS NOT THAT MUCH NOISE BEING CREATED ON OUR GOLF COURSE.

FORTUNATELY, WE HAVE A GREAT MANAGER AND OWNER, WHICH IS STEVE MORRIS HERE, STEVEN MORRIS HERE, WHO IS MAINTAINING THIS COURSE IN THE COUNTRY CLUB EFFECT THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO MAINTAIN INSTEAD OF GOING TO A POSSIBLE MUNICIPAL COURSE IN THE FUTURE, SHOULD WE HAVE TO DECREASE OUR MEMBERSHIP BECAUSE OF LACK OF QUALITY COURSE.

SO WITH THAT SAID, I'D LIKE TO STATE THAT AT MY COURSE OR WHERE I'M LIVING, I DO NOT HEAR THE NOISE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT.

AND I LIVE IMMEDIATELY ON THE COURSE AS I'M SURE JOHN, DON'T YOU, JOHN, LIVE ON THE COURSE AS WELL.

SO, WITH THAT, WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WANT TO, TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT IT'S NOT A NOISE ISSUE FOR OUR, OUR SIDE OF THE COURSE.

AND, UH, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TO

[00:15:01]

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

UH, RAY GARCIA, HE HAD THE , OKAY.

UH, STEVEN MORRIS.

STEVEN MORRIS, 42 99 SOUTH SHORE BOULEVARD.

UM, GENERAL MANAGER OWNER, SOUTH SHORE HARBOR COUNTRY CLUB.

I'LL GIVE IT SHORT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE, OR I, I DON'T, I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY DETRACTORS HERE.

FOR THE EXEMPTION FOR THE NOISE ORDINANCE.

IT WAS PUT FORWARD BY THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT, UM, TO CLARIFY JUST THAT EXEMPTION THAT WE'VE BEEN OPERATING UNDER FOR 42 YEARS NOW.

UM, AGAIN, JUST A REMINDER THAT THAT'S ALL IT IS, IS A CLARIFICATION IN WRITING TO CUT DOWN ON SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT'S, UH, IN THE NOISE ORDINANCE THAT CONFUSES US AS GOLF COURSES WITH LAWN CARE, LAWN CARE OPERATORS, YOU KNOW, THE GUYS ON THE ZERO TURNS AND THE BLOWERS THAT SHOW UP TO CUT YOUR NEIGHBOR'S LAWN.

THAT'S, THAT'S NOT US.

WE'RE MAINTAINING A GOLF COURSE THAT DOES START IN THE PRE DAWN HOURS.

UM, WE HAVE WORKED WITH AND AGREED TO LIMIT THAT TO FIVE 30, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING UNDER THE DIFFERENT RULES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE DECIBELS, UH, WITHIN A CERTAIN YARDAGE OR FEET FROM HOMEOWNERS, UM, PROPERTIES, WHICH WE ALSO FALL UNDER TOO, WHICH I SUPPLIED, I BELIEVE TO EVERYONE THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD DEPARTMENT AND THE FIRE CHIEF'S OFFICE.

WE WENT THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS AS WELL.

UM, BUT AGAIN, JUST A REMINDER THAT THAT'S ALL IT IS.

IT'S THE EX JUST CLARIFYING THE EXEMPTION THAT WE'VE OPERATED US FOR 42 YEARS, MAGNOLIA CREEK, FOR ALMOST 25 YEARS.

UM, JUST TO CLARIFY IT REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CALLS, QUESTIONS, POLICE, UH, OCCUPYING THE POLICE OFFICERS TIME AND, AND STUFF FOR AN UNCLEAR THING.

SO REALLY THAT'S IT.

I, I'VE SENT EVERYTHING ELSE, SO I KNOW, I KNOW EVERYBODY HAS IT.

UM, I JUST APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND, AND LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING THAT CLARIFIED.

ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

LYNETTE.

LASH WAY.

HELLO, I'M LYNETTE LASHWAY.

I AM AT 4 0 8 COLCHESTER LANE.

I'M ALSO A, UM, HELEN HALL LIBRARY BOARD MEMBER.

AND I'M UP HERE TO TALK ABOUT ITEM SIX, D, E, AND, AND F RELATED TO THE LIBRARY'S CONTRACTS.

AND I JUST WANTED TO ENCOURAGE Y'ALL TO, UM, VOTE ON THOSE, UM, PROMPTLY TO GET APPROVED.

UM, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MEREDITH, OUR LIBRARIAN, UH, SHE'S, HER AND HER STAFF HAVE HAD TO PIVOT WHEN A MAJOR BOOK VENDOR HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.

UM, WE ARE IN A BETTER POSITION THAN MANY OF THE GALVESTON COUNTY LIBRARIES BECAUSE, UH, SHE HAD DIVERSIFIED, UM, BOOK ORDERS FROM MULTIPLE VENDORS.

UM, BUT RIGHT NOW SHE'S HAVING TO, UM, REDO SOME CONTRACTS TO GET BOOKS FROM OTHER VENDORS.

UM, AS A RECENT, UM, NEW CHAIR FOR THE GALVESTON COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM, IT'S OTHER LIBRARIES IN GALVESTON COUNTY, UM, ARE IN A MUCH WORSE PICKLE THAN WE ARE BECAUSE, UH, THE TAYLOR VENDOR WAS THEIR ONLY VENDOR.

SO THEY'RE HAVING TO START FROM SCRATCH.

UM, SO I THINK THAT UNDER MEREDITH'S DIRECTION, SHE'S, UH, OUR PIVOT HAS BEEN, UM, IS GONNA BE HOPEFULLY MINOR.

SO I'M JUST HOPING, UM, THAT Y'ALL APPROVE THESE CONTRACTS, UM, QUICKLY FOR US.

AND THAT'S ALL.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANKS, TAYLOR.

PEGGY SAYLER, 1802 RAMPART.

I ALSO WOULD REQUEST THAT, UH, YOU APPROVE ITEMS, UH, SIX, D, E, AND F AND AS DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY, THE, UM, THE REQUEST FOR APPROVING THE CONTRACTS, UM, IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO US BECAUSE WE HAVE A LEVEL OF SERVICE AND A COMMITMENT TO OUR PATRONS.

AND TO HAVE, UM, AN INVENTORY OF BOOKS AND INFORMATION, UM, THAT IS AVAILABLE TO OUR PATRONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO US.

AND I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK TO ANY OF OUR LIBRARY STAFF, UH, MEMBERS, UH, THANK THEM BECAUSE EARLY IN THE SUMMER, WE WERE BEGINNING TO HEAR RUMBLINGS OF PERHAPS THERE WOULD BE PROBLEMS WITH BAKER AND TAYLOR, UH, THE VENDOR.

AND, UM, THE

[00:20:01]

AND FOR THOSE OF US IN BUSINESS WHO RECOGNIZE THE CHALLENGES WITH, UM, RELIABLE, WHAT WE THINK ARE RELIABLE SOURCES, THAT CAN CHANGE VERY, VERY QUICKLY.

AND HAD MEREDITH AND THE STAFF NOT ANTICIPATED THAT THERE COULD BE ISSUES WITH BAKER AND TAYLOR, WE WOULD BE IN THE POSITION WHERE MANY OF OUR OTHER LIBRARY, UM, FACILITIES ARE, AND THAT'S NOT WHO WE ARE.

WE HAVE A STAFF THAT MAKES THEMSELVES AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY, ALSO LOOKS AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND ANTICIPATES WHAT'S BEST TO REPRESENT YOU CITY COUNCIL AND TAKE CARE OF OUR PATRONS.

AND I'M SO VERY, VERY PROUD WHEN THE REST OF THE LIBRARIES AND MANY OF THE LIBRARIES ARE STRUGGLING BECAUSE EVEN IF THEY CAN FIND A VENDOR, WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IS THE VENDOR CAN'T ACCOMMODATE THE REQUEST FOR NEW BUSINESS.

I MEAN, THIS IS, THIS IS REALLY AN INTERESTING SITUATION.

WE'RE NOT HAVING TO FACE THAT.

AND IT'S ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PROFESSIONALISM OF OUR STAFF.

ADDITIONALLY, WITH, UH, WITH THE THE LAST ITEM, WE WILL BE CHANGING OUR, UH, INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM.

AND AS WE ALL KNOW, WHENEVER WE GO TO A NEW PLATFORM, IT'S ALWAYS, UM, A CHALLENGE.

IT'S AN EDUCATION PROCESS AND WE'RE STARTING EARLY ENOUGH TO WHERE WE CAN ANTICIPATE THE PROBLEMS. WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME, UH, FOR THE EDUCATION, BUT IF YOU LOOKED AT THE SCORING SHEET FOR THE PLATFORMS THAT WERE AVAILABLE, YOU'LL FIND THAT OUR EXISTING PLATFORM THAT WE WILL BE CHANGING FROM DIDN'T SCORE NEARLY AS HIGHLY AS THE ONE WE WILL BE CHOOSING.

SO BECAUSE THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO SERVE OUR PATRONS, I REALLY APPRECIATE NUMBER ONE, THIS BEING ON THE AGENDA AT THIS TIME AND WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.

AND AS A FOLLOW UP, IF YOU REMEMBER THE DISCUSSION WE HAD, UM, IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, UH, WE WERE BEHIND IN BEING ABLE TO PLACE CONTRACTS.

WE'RE NOT IN THE POSITION THIS YEAR.

SO COUNSEL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU.

MAYOR, DID YOU NOTICE THAT RIGHT ON TIME? IT WAS RIGHT ON.

IT'S IMPRESSIVE.

IT'S ALMOST A PATTERN, ISN'T IT? I THINK I, I THINK YOU'RE PRACTICING AT HOME BEFORE YOU GET UP HERE.

THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
