HEALING HOUSE HAS THREE VOTES.
[00:00:03]
BEACON OF HOPE MARKET TWO VOTES.[4.A. Annual Planning Commission Awards - Planning Commission Review And Finalize Recipients.]
AND THEN THE BOWLING ALLEY WAS ANOTHER VOTE.[INAUDIBLE] PLANNING STAFF HAD NOT IDENTIFIED ANYTHING FOR PLANNING, BUT THE CITY HALL PLAZA GOT A WRITE IN VOTE OF ONE.
WE HAD NONE IN THAT CATEGORY LAST YEAR.
BUT THEY'RE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
THEY'RE DIFFERENT. OKAY, YEAH, BUT PLANNING WASN'T ON OUR SURVEY, RIGHT.
BECAUSE WE HADN'T HAD ANY. OKAY.
NOW AGAIN WE HAVE TIES WITH 31 CEDAR LAWN, TYING WITH GORDON'S RESTAURANT MARKET.
AND THEN HOMETOWN BANK AND THE MANSARD HOTEL BOTH GOT ONE VOTE.
THE CITY HALL PLAZA GOT THREE VOTES, BUT THEN THE HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER GOT THREE VOTES.
GALVESTON ISLAND STATE PARK WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN AN AWARD TO SO WE CAN SCRATCH THEM.
REDEVELOPMENT MARMO PLAZA DOWNTOWN GOT THREE VOTES.
AND THEN THAT'S THAT'S THE THAT'S THE ALL THE CATEGORIES.
AND RUSTY DIDN'T LAST YEAR, DIDN'T WE ALSO LOOK AT HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN ON BECAUSE WE HAVE WHAT IS IT A THREE YEAR WINDOW FIVE YEARS FIVE YEAR WINDOW. THEN WE KIND OF LOOK AT THE LAST YEAR THERE WERE A COUPLE THAT WERE UP FOR THEIR LAST TIME, THIS YEAR WE DON'T HAVE ANY THAT ARE ON THEIR LAST.
OKAY. SO EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE ONE MORE TIME.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT FEELS GOOD.
THAT MEANS 2021 ARE THE OLDEST ONES ON HERE.
OKAY. SO THERE WERE TWO CATEGORIES THAT, SO PLANNING HAD CITY HALL IN IT WITH ONE.
RIGHT. YES. AND WE HAD STATE PARK WITH I MEAN THE ENVIRONMENTAL WAS JUST ONE.
YES. SO IT WAS ONLY ONLY ONE NOMINEE.
OKAY. PLANNING DIDN'T HAVE ANY NOMINATIONS.
OKAY. OKAY. WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE CRITERIA WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR PLANNING? PLANNING IS TYPICALLY MORE OF LIKE OUR KIND OF PLANNING, LIKE THE URBAN PLANNING THAT WE'RE DOING AT THE CITY.
IT'S USUALLY MORE OF A, YOU KNOW, LIKE A PRODUCTION OF A DOCUMENT.
WHO ARE WE GOOD WITH HAVING CITY HALL'S THE PLANNING THING, THEN, YOU GUYS? YES. THAT'S FINE.
YEAH. BECAUSE THEN WE KIND OF SCRATCH IT OFF OF OUR LIST ON PUBLIC INVESTMENT.
AND CAN I DISCUSS ONE TOO? YES, MA'AM. I'M RETIRED, SO I'M NOT CONNECTED TO GALVESTON COLLEGE ANYMORE.
BUT PUBLIC INVESTMENT I SAW THAT IT HAD GALVESTON COLLEGE HAD THREE VOTES.
YES. THAT SEEMS LIKE IT FIT THAT CATEGORY BEST INVESTMENT IN THE PUBLIC.
BECAUSE IF WE CAN, WE GO BACK.
SO IF YOU TAKE THE CITY HALL OFF OF THERE.
RIGHT. IT MAKES THEM THE SHOO IN FOR THAT.
SO THAT WAS KIND OF. ARE YOU GUYS GOOD WITH THAT? WELL, ARE YOU NOT? NO NO NO NO THAT'S GREAT.
NO, I WAS GOING TO I WROTE THAT ONE.
MARY JAN HAD THREE VOTES ON THAT ONE.
I DON'T GET ANYTHING FROM THEM ANYMORE.
SO. NO, THAT WAS A YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT PROJECT.
YEAH. SO YOU WANT TO START BACK AT THE TOP AGAIN? START WITH BEAUTIFICATION.
BEAUTIFICATION. SO THERE WE HAD THE.
SO WE HAD WE ALSO HAD HEALING HOUSE SOMEWHERE ELSE, DIDN'T WE? AND PARTICIPATION.
IT'S ALSO IN PARTICIPATION AND I THINK PRIVATE INVESTMENT.
THERE WE GO. SO WE HAD HEALING HOUSES PARTICIPATION AND WE COULD DO RESOLVE AS BEAUTIFICATION.
I THINK THE RESOLVE STATUE IS VERY.
YOU DON'T LIKE THAT ONE? YA'LL WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT? NO, BUT THE PARTICIPATION PART THAT GO INTO THE PARTICIPATION KIND OF MAKES SENSE.
IT DOESN'T IT? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, MARY JAN? YOU'RE OVER THERE. GOT THE WHEELS TURNING.
THERE'S SO MANY GREAT PROJECTS.
IT WAS REALLY TOUGH FOR ME TOO.
A STATUE IS COOL, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT PROJECTS.
I THINK THE TOP OF MY LIST, BUT IT IS A COOL STATUE.
SO WE SO OF THOSE FOUR DO WE HAVE 1118 SEALY ANOTHER ANY OTHER CATEGORY?
[00:05:01]
IT IS IN THIS HISTORIC PRESERVATION THAT GOT ONE VOTE THERE.IT MIGHT BE IN PRIVATE INVESTMENT BUT IT DIDN'T GET ANY VOTES.
I KNOW WE'RE NOT GIVING THAT A LOT OF WEIGHT, BUT THAT'S A 2022 THE CITY PLAZA IS 2021.
I THINK FOR PARTICIPATION, THE HEALING HOUSE HAS TO BE FOUND UNDER THAT CATEGORY.
THE BEAUTIFICATION OF HEALING HOUSE IS REALLY ON THE INSIDE.
SO I THINK UNDER PARTICIPATION THAT WOULD BE FINE.
SO IN THIS CATEGORY, HOW MANY OTHER PLACES DO WE.
YEAH. YOUR PREFERENCE IS NOT STATUE IN, PERHAPS IN A DIFFERENT CATEGORY.
YOU'VE GOT SOME SOME HOUSES THAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE SO MUCH WORK ON.
THE STATUE. WHO DID THE STATUE? YOU KNOW, THAT'S LIKE.
THAT'S A, THAT'S A VERY YOU'VE GOT BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS IN SOME OF THESE PROJECTS AND I'M SURE.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE IN SO IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION, WE HAVE THE LUCINE AND THE MANSARD HOUSE.
YEAH. THEY'RE THE TWO TOP RUNNERS.
AND THEN 1811 SEALY, 902 9TH, AND THEN THE 31 CEDAR LAWN AND AND BOTH THE LUCINE AND THE MANSARD HOUSE ARE 2024 NOMINATIONS? YES. OKAY.
AND IS THE MANSARD HOUSE DONE? IT'S OPEN. YEAH, IT WAS OPEN.
OKAY. I COULDN'T REMEMBER IF I'M A FAN OF THAT ONE.
IT COULD ALSO BODE WELL OVER IN THE PRIVATE INVESTMENT DEAL, TOO.
I MEAN, THOSE GUYS PUT A LOT OF EFFORT IN THAT ONE.
YEAH, I LIKED IT UNDER HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
UNDER HISTORIC PRESERVATION. YEAH.
REALLY KEPT A LOT OF IT IN SUCH BAD SHAPE.
THE LUCINE COULD GO IN THE [INAUDIBLE].
ARE YOU GUYS GOOD WITH MANSARD HOUSE ON THAT ONE? YEAH. I THINK IT'S A GOOD CHOICE.
REALLY, THE REASON I SELECTED [INAUDIBLE] ON THE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE INVESTMENT WAS BECAUSE OF THE NARRATIVE THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH IT ABOUT THE EYESORE FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT WAS FINALLY TAKEN AWAY.
I WAS LIKE, YEAH, GO ALONG WITH THAT.
WHERE ARE WE ON? WHERE WAS THE DEVELOPMENT ONE? CAN YOU DO THAT ONE AGAIN? YEAH. A REDEVELOPMENT OR.
SO WE HAD THE OLEANDERS THE OLIVES.
WELL, THE OLEANDERS HAVE WE VOTED FOR THAT ONE YET? CAN WE PUT IT UNDER DEVELOPMENT? UNDER DEVELOPMENT? OLEANDERS HAD THE MOST ON DEVELOPMENT.
SO WE HAVE PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT.
YEAH. SO WHERE CAN YOU GO TO REDEVELOPMENT? SO IF WE DID MARMO FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT, COULD WE DO DEVELOPMENT FOR WE DID A DEVELOPMENT FOR OLEANDER.
YEAH. SO I HAVE THE AVAILABLE CATEGORIES IS BEAUTIFICATION, PRIVATE INVESTMENT, AND REDEVELOPMENT.
SO AND BEAUTIFICATION WE KIND OF GOT THE STATUE AND THE 118 1118 SEALY THEN OF THE OTHERS ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION, WE HAVE THE LUCINE THAT WAS KIND OF A LEFTOVER FROM THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN PRIVATE INVESTMENT YET.
CAN YOU GO TO THAT SLIDE, PRIVATE? YEAH. OKAY. AND THERE ARE A LOT UNDER THERE.
THERE'S ALWAYS A LOT IN PRIVATE INVESTMENT.
YEAH. WELL, 31 CEDAR LAWN IS BEAUTIFUL.
AND THAT'S A VERY DRAMATIC ONE.
[00:10:06]
NOMINATION. GORDON'S IS A NEW NOMINATION, AND SO IS HOMETOWN BANK.NO. HOMETOWN BANK IS HOMETOWN LAST YEAR.
WHAT IS LAST YEAR? OKAY, BUT HAS CEDAR.
CEDAR LAWN HAS BEEN ON BEFORE.
WHOA. YOU DIDN'T FIX IT? NO. NO NO NO NO NO.
I DON'T THINK GORDON'S IS A GOOD CHOICE TOO.
YEAH, IT IS A BIG DEAL. IT TOOK QUITE A WHILE TO FINISH.
HAS THAT IS THAT SINCE IKE OR EVEN LONGER WAS THAT PROPERTY LIKE THAT? OH NO. THAT WAS HEB RIGHT.
HEB WAS WHERE THE ODYSSEY ODYSSEY ACADEMY.
ODYSSEY. YEAH. BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT HAD BEEN VACANT FOR YEARS.
CEDAR LAWN HAS BEEN ON LONGER, IF THAT COUNTS FOR ANY HAIR OF A VOTE, BUT.
WELL, AND YOU'VE GOT A GREAT POINT IN THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE A SIGNIFICANT, A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN TIME AND MONEY IN RESTORING SOME OF THESE HOMES.
SO I WOULD SAY THIS DOING CEDAR LAWN IN PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND LOOKING AT THE 11118 SEALY AS BEAUTIFICATION, MAYBE A BEAUTIFICATION.
YES. OKAY. I'M KIND OF THEN WE PUT SOME HOUSES IN THE MIX.
YEAH. AND RECOGNIZE THOSE FOLKS.
WHO'D YALL SAY YOU WANT TO DO FOR BEAUTIFICATION? 1118 SEALY.
SO WE DON'T HAVE REDEVELOPMENT YET, RIGHT? THAT'S THE LAST ONE. THAT'S THE LAST ONE I THOUGHT MARKET. 1802 MARKET I DON'T THINK IT WAS ON LAST YEAR, BUT IT DIDN'T WIN.
1802 MARKET WAS PARTICIPATION.
PARTICIPATION, NOT BEAUTIFICATION.
SO THAT WOULD GIVE US 1118 SEALY FOR BEAUTIFICATION.
THE OLEANDERS FOR DEVELOPMENT STATE PARK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL.
DIDN'T THEY DO LAST YEAR STATE PARK.
THEY WERE ON SO THEN THAT WOULD BE MANSARD HOUSE FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
THE COLONIAL HOUSE FOR OR THE CEDAR LAWN.
THE CEDAR LAWN, FOR PRIVATE INVESTMENT.
THE COLLEGE FOR PUBLIC INVESTMENT.
HEALING HOUSE FOR PARTICIPATION.
CITY HALL FOR PLANNING AND MARMO FOR REDEVELOPMENT.

BECAUSE WE'RE DOING A LOT OF TURTLES.
WE'RE DOING I MEAN, THAT THAT THE RESOLVE STATUE.
IT MIGHT BE, I KNOW, LIKE, WE HAVE A TURTLE TODAY AND WE HAVE SOME OTHER STUFF TODAY.
YEAH. AND THEN A LOT OF THE KIDS WITH THE I FORGOT WHAT THEY CALL IN THE PARK? THE KIDS. THEY HAVE A KIDS THING WHERE THE ARTISTS COME IN AND HELP KIDS.
THEY ARE THEY ARE GETTING READY TO PERMIT OUR BUILDING TO DO THE WHOLE SIDE OF OUR BUILDING.
SO SOME OF THE PUBLIC ART DONE BY THE STUDENTS.
WELL, WE DID DO THAT LAST YEAR WITH OUR BARS.
REMEMBER? YEAH. WHAT WAS THAT? SOMETIMES THE COMMISSION WILL DO SPECIAL.
SPECIAL. AND SO WE COULD DO SPECIAL RECOGNITION THIS YEAR FOR PUBLIC ART.
WE COULD JUST ESTABLISH IT AS A NEW CATEGORY AND DO IT YEARLY.
I LOVE WHAT THEY DID WITH THE.
I LIKE THE IDEA OF DOING IT AS A SPECIAL RECOGNITION AND WE COULD DO THE RESULTS.
IS THAT WHAT YOU GUYS ARE THINKING? THE STATUTE? THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

I HAVE THAT ON OUR LIST FOR NEXT YEAR.
YEAH. OKAY. IS THERE IS THERE A CATEGORY LIKE CULTURAL? SOMEBODY HELP ME WITH SOME WORDS.

AND WE COULD DO JUST A CULTURAL ARTS.
[00:15:02]
A NEW CATEGORY. IF THE COMMISSION WANTS TO ADD ONE, WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT.YES. WE USUALLY PUT THESE KIND OF ART PROJECTS INTO BEAUTIFICATION.
BUT CULTURAL ARTS IS A CATCH ALL.
YES. BECAUSE WE'RE DOING SOME REALLY FABULOUS STUFF.
I MEAN, REALLY, WE COULD FIND SOME REALLY COOL STUFF THAT FITS IN THAT CATEGORY FOR SURE.
ESPECIALLY THE MURALS THAT ARE GOING ON GABRIEL'S MURALS.
YOU GUYS WANT TO ADD A CATEGORY THEN? I THINK WE SHOULD REALLY FOR THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR.
CAN WE ADD IT FOR THIS YEAR? SURE. OH THIS YEAR? WELL, WE COULD MAKE IT LIKE YOU SAID.
