[6. Community Planning for the 2024 Total Eclipse - Dawn Davies, Night Skies Program Manager with Hill Country Alliance ]

JOHN IS THE NEXT GUYS PROGRAM MANAGER WITH HILL COUNTRY ALLIANCE.

I BELIEVE ARE YOU THIS MORNING? GOOD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.

WE'RE A NON-PROFIT CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS BROADLY WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS, JAN LIKE-MINDED PARTNERS AND ORGANIZATIONS, RESEARCH PLANS AND WATERS, COMMUNITY AND RIGHTS COUNTRY.

AND WE'RE HERE TALKING ABOUT SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT STUFF.

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A GREAT CLASS.

UM, BUT FIRST OFF I WANT TO EXTEND, THANK YOU TO ALL THE PERMISSIONS, THE WORK YOU'VE DONE A COVID PRESENTLY, ESPECIALLY IN THIS RECENTLY WITH .

SO, AS AS MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT SOME ECLIPSES COMING UP THAT YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF IN PARTICULAR, IF YOU'VE GOT SOLAR INVESTMENTS AND MEANS YOU GO TO, SO HERE'S A DIAGRAM FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MIGHT NOT BE EXACTLY FAMILIAR WITH SOLAR FOR HEY ARTISTS FREQUENTLY, AS MOST PEOPLE MIGHT THINK, AND IT HAS VARIOUS POINTS OF CONTACT.

THIS IS INCLUDING THE ONES THAT ARE COMING UP IN 2023 AND 2024 HAD A TOTALITY THAT RANGES ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE WITH VISIBILITY, THE ENTIRE REPEATS ITSELF OVER TWO AND A HALF HOURS.

SO THIS IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF TIME WHERE WE'RE GOING ALWAYS HAVE

[00:05:01]

IT'S JUST WHAT YOU EXPECT.

NOW, THE ONE IMPORTANT ISSUE HERE IS MOST PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET AN ECLIPSE, WHEREVER THEY ARE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT IN CLASS HAVE VISIBILITY OR A PARTICULAR TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IS ONLY AT MOST, SOMETIMES 50 TO 60 MILES WIDE.

YOU HAVE A CENTRAL LINE, WHICH IS THE OPTIMUM AT HOME.

CAUSE ANOTHER TIME TOTALITY WHERE THE MOON IS COVERING THE SUN AND COMPLETION.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE PASSAGE OF TELE AROUND THAT.

SO AS YOU GET FURTHER AWAY FROM THAT CENTRAL LIGHT, YOU WOULD HAVE LET US ENDLESS TOTAL, UH, TIME TO SEE THE ACTUAL POST ITSELF.

AND THEN ANYONE ON THAT PARTIALITY ZONE, IT'S NOT GOING TO SEE THE FULL EXTENT OF ECLIPSE.

WE'RE GOING TO ENCOUNTER THAT IN 20, 24, PARTICULARLY CUTTING THROUGH MAJOR CITIES LIKE SAN ANTONIO AND AUSTIN OR ANYBODY, AN EAST OF EXPERIENCE.

HMM LET'S SEE, 20, 24, WE HAVE THIS BUILDING.

SO THIS IS WHERE THE MOON IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AWAY FROM US.

SO YOU DON'T GET TOLD THAT YOU GET ALL THE RIC FIRE.

SO YOU HAVE THE LOVE OF THE SUN AND A CIRCLE AROUND.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IS GOING TO ACTUALLY CUT THROUGH THE BACK OF THE COUNTS.

PA'S THAT 800 REPRESENTS AND ONLY THOSE FALLING ON THAT NORTH, WESTERN EASTERN SIDE OF THAT RED LINE, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A PARTIAL VIEW OF THIS EVENT? SO THIS IN MANY WAYS, FOR A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITIES, IT IS SORT OF A TEST RUN FOR THE EVENT OF 2024.

THIS WILL BE THE CURRENT PRESSURE SATURDAY.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE CONVENIENT FOR TRAVELERS, BUT AT THE 20 24, 1 IS THE ONE THAT IS THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL.

THIS IS THE ECLIPSE THAT MOST PEOPLE TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD TO SEE.

AND AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THIS RIGHT HERE, MANY, MANY COUNTIES HERE WITHIN THE AECOM AREA THAT ARE GOING TO SEE IT AS YOU LOOK, YOU KNOW, VERY WELL PORTION, RIGHT BELOW BEAR COUNTY.

IN FACT, MOST DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO, IT'S NOT GOING TO GET TO SEE IT.

IT FLOWS.

YOU GET SHREDDED FOR HAVING TO KERRVILLE.

YOU'RE CLOSER.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO THAT CENTRAL LINE OF TOTALITY, WHICH AT THE MOST, WE OBVIOUSLY GOT FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES OF COMPLETE BLACK DARKNESS.

SO HERE ARE SOME OF THE GENERAL COMMUNITIES AND YOU CAN SEE THEM ALSO POINTED OUT ON THE RED DOTS AND THEIR PROXIMITY TO THAT TOTAL CENTER LINE.

SO IF YOU'RE IN COMFORT UP FOUR MINUTES, 11 SECONDS IN REALITY, IF YOU'RE IN LONDON AT 16 SECONDS.

SO THAT IS REALLY EASY TO FIND WHERE THE VAST MAJORITY CONGREGATES, BUT IT DOES CAUSE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY AND A LOT OF POSSIBILITY FOR ACHIEVEMENTS.

THERE IS A LOT OF SCIENTIFIC WORK THAT ACTUALLY CANNOT BE DONE IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE LIFE OF THE SPECIFICALLY ON THE OCCURRENCES OF TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSES, WHETHER IT'S STUDYING CAPSULE, KUBOTA OF THE SUN, THAT'S TOTALLY CLIFFS ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

UM, EITHER RESEARCH DONE IN THE ISLANDS HERE, CAN'T BE DONE IN THIS WEIRD GAME CIRCUMSTANCE OF EIGHT HOLES, SORT OF THIS, BUT THIS IS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY TO OPTIMIZE ON SORT OF TOURISM, WHICH IS BECOMING A MUCH MORE COMMON METHOD OF TOURISM AND OUR COMMUNITIES.

IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY OR A BUILD UP JUST TRYING TO JUST APPEAL HISTORY, APRIL 8TH, 2024.

SO THAT ON MONDAY IT SAYS IT WILL BE IN SECTION, BUT ALSO DURING THE HEIGHT OF OUR SEASON PEAK OF OUR BIRD MIGRATION.

SO PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING TO A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OR BOY WHO WANTS TO COME TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT DO TRAVEL FOR FULL SILICOSIS, TRIED TO DO SO WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE IN A REGION THAT COULD ANYTHING CLOUD OVER, THERE'S AT LEAST MORE THAT THEY CAN KICK OFF.

THAT'S DEFINITELY WHAT WE SEE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.

THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF UNCERTAINTIES AND CHALLENGES THAT I KNOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE 2017 ECLIPSE AND CATHERINE.

AND WHEN THAT PAIN, A LOT OF PREPARATION, AS FAR AS NEEDING TO HAVE A SORT OF WATER, EXTRA FOOD WITH ME, I DID TRAVEL, WHICH 10 EXTRA FUEL I EXPERIENCED A LEVEL OF TRAFFIC THAT I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED.

EVEN THE HEIGHT OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN LOS ANGELES ON THE FRIDAY, AND TOOK ME TO SHINE AS 200 MILES.

HE TOOK ME OVER NINE HOURS.

SO THAT WOULD BE IF YOU LEFT RIGHT NOW TAKING NINE HOURS AT ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR.

[00:10:02]

HE STATES IN HIS FAMILY, ALONG WITH THE POPULATION AND THE APPROXIMATE POPULATION INCREASE EXPERIENCED DURING THAT ECLIPSE, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH ESTIMATE THAT WHEREVER YOU ARE ON THAT PATH OF TOTALITY, IF YOU WERE IN A CITY, YOUR POPULATION IS GOING TO DOUBLE.

IF YOU'RE IN A COUNTY, THAT POPULATION WENT TO TRIPLE OR HAS THE, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR THE COUNTY, BLANDO AT 26,000 PEOPLE.

SO OUR COUNTY ON THE CENTER LINE IN 2013 HAD INCREASED 60,000 ADDITIONAL PEOPLE.

SO THIS IS WHY THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO'VE BEEN MEETING FOR OVER A YEAR TO PLAN AND TO DISCUSS THIS.

AND IT HAS ATTACHED TO HAS CREATED A PORTAL AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN INFORMATION AND LEARN MORE ABOUT ECLIPSE IN GENERAL, HOW THESE ECLIPSES ARE GOING TO AFFECT US.

PARTICULARLY WE HAVE A SERIES OF RESOURCES THAT INCLUDE SITES OF COMMUNITIES AND COUNTIES THAT HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED EACH FLIP CENTRIC PAGES.

SOME PAST EXPERIENCES, VACATION CARBONDALE, ILLINOIS IS ON THE CENTRAL LINE IN 2017.

AND THEY SHARED WITH US THEIR VISION AND PAYING THAT WERE VERY BENEFICIAL, LIKE SUCH PRIDE AND RESOURCE WE HAVE AVAILABLE.

IS IT THE POST HARVEST THAT A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITIES ARE USING TO DETERMINE WHO THEY NEED TO BE PROGRAMMED WITH.

PARTNERING WITH THROUGH HOTELS OF WHICH ALL LARGE COMMUNITIES OR YOU HAVE HOTEL ROOMS BOOKED THEY'RE 20, 20 FULL TIME, HALF THE, THE LESSER.

IT WASN'T A YEAR, BUT IT'S THINKING WITH YOUR LOCAL TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES, FIRE, POLICE, EMS, OR A POTTY COMPANIES, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE NOT ONLY MAXIMIZING THE POTENTIAL FOR EVENTS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO GROWING THAT CENTER.

THEY CAN MAKE A QUICK BUCK BY LEAVING THEIR BE OPEN, MAYBE 10, 15, $20 RULE, OR UNTIL THEY'LL ASK US, WHAT DO WE DO? WHAT DO WE DO WHILE THEY'RE THERE? HOW DO WE MITIGATE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS FUEL? WHAT HAPPENS IF IT SHOULDN'T CLOUD OVER ON THAT DAY, ON THAT? WE'VE NEVER SEEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRAVELED TO LOVE THE FUTURE PRIOR TO .

SO AS THAT WE FORMED THESE QUARTERLY BROWN PEOPLE MEETINGS, WEEKLY MEETINGS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2020, WE MEET ON A QUARTERLY BASIS PROJECTED THE TOPICS OF THE UPCOMING MEETINGS WE'RE HAVING.

OUR NEXT ONE IS NEXT MONTH, APRIL 19TH, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING WITH THEIR BUDGET PLANNING, BUT DEPENDING FOR THE 2023 YEAR FOR THE 20, 24 YEAR, UH, ON A LARGER SCALE BUDGET PLANNING DURING THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE, A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION RIGHT NOW, WE GOT PARTICIPATION, ALMOST 18 COUNTIES.

THESE ARE PATTIES THAT HAVE ALREADY FORMED.

THEIR TASKFORCES ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING SO AND LEADING INDEPENDENTLY.

AND THEN WE ALL COME TOGETHER TO BRAINSTORM, ASK QUESTIONS, DIG FURTHER IN WHAT COMMUNITIES MAYBE HAVE AND WHERE COMMUNITIES ARE TELLING IT.

THINGS LIKE PUBLIC RELATIONS WORK WITH HOSPITALITY, FOOD INDUSTRIES, AND ALL THE OTHER VARIOUS PARTNERS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO GO TO THIS LARGE ENDEAVOR.

AS WE GET INTO OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR, WE'LL ACTUALLY BE QUARTERLY BUY MONTHLY BASIS TO DISCUSS MORE FINER DETAILS, PONY AND SPECIFIC AREAS WHERE WE NEED ASSISTANCE.

BUT THE THING I REALLY WANT TO IMPRESS IS JUST HOW LARGE THIS EVENT IS GOING TO BE.

PARTICULARLY AT 2024, THE TREMENDOUS BENEFITS THAT CAN COME FROM IT.

THAT'S LOCAL, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL ATTENTION, BUT ALSO PLANNING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND YOU TO START YESTERDAY, IT HAS NOT BEEN STARTED ALREADY.

SO I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY THAT I HAVE, I HAVE A COLLEAGUE IN NEBRASKA IN HOMESTEAD NATIONAL PARK.

HE WAS A SUPERINTENDENT THERE AND THEY WENT THROUGH THIS SHIT.

I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH.

WHAT'S COMING.

I MEAN, IT'S, HE SAID, IT'S JUST UNBELIEVABLE.

IN FACT, HE HAS A LITTLE BOOK THAT HE WROTE THE BUYER, THE FLOODS PICTURE, INSTEAD OF THE EXIT OF ALL THE PEOPLE, THAT'S JUST AS MUCH AS THEM COMING IN.

YOU SAID IT ONCE THEY'RE THERE, THAT'S GOING TO GET, THEY COME

[00:15:01]

INTERESTING.

A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITIES TOO SKINNY THAT'S BEYOND THE EXIST PERIOD TO HELP STAGGER THAT THE EXITED THIS YEAR.

SO HE'D BE AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE IS HE'S OFFERED HIMSELF TO, TO BE AVAILABLE.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE WILL TAKE ANY.

AND ANY WOMAN HAS AS ADVICE.

THIS IS THE THING, YOU KNOW, PRIOR TO 2017, WE HAVEN'T HAD A POLITICALLY ACROSS THE UNITED STATES INTO THE UNITED STATES FOR FOUR YEARS.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE ANOTHER ONE IN, YOU KNOW, EVEN IN THE UNITED STATES.

I THINK THE NEXT ONE TOUCHING DOWN IS IN 2050 TO A SMALL PORTION OF FLORIDA, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE WHAT THE PROSECUTION UNITED STATES WERE COMING FORWARD, YOUR TEXAS UNTIL WELL, AFTER THE 20% AND JUST SAID, BE PREPARED AS YOU SAID, THIS, THIS, THIS IS NO JOKE.

YOU SAID IT'S GOING TO BE.

AND THE LINE OF TOTALITY PASSES THROUGH VANDERPOOL SO LOTS OF NAPLES, ONE OF OUR FATHERS, HE PARKS NOT I'M FROM FREDERICKSBURG AREA.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE THE HOTELS THAT HAVE OPENED ARE ALREADY SOLD IT FOR BOOKING, I MEAN, CAMP BROWN, AND THEN THAT'S IT MAINLY, COULD WE GET, UM, UH, A COPY OF THIS? OKAY.

YEAH.

TO SEND THAT OUT BECAUSE I'LL BE GLAD TO SEND THAT OUT, MAKE SOME PRESENTATIONS WITH THE CITY OFFICER.

I KNOW STEPHANIE, YOU GUYS HAVE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO THIS WHEN I REALLY, I REALLY PERSONALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT I'VE BEEN, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT LUNCH THIS MORNING.

SO, SO YOU GUYS ARE REALLY, REALLY JUST, YOU HAVE REALLY OPENED UP THE WORLD OF ECLIPSE TO ME THIS MORNING.

SO I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THE FACT THAT THE COMMUNITIES, SMALL COMMUNITIES THAT ARE IN THAT BELT ARE REALLY, REALLY GOING TO BE AFFECTED AND REALLY NEED TO PAY ATTENTION.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS CROWD KNOWING ABOUT THAT.

SO THANK YOU.

We were notified in January that the application period opened, so this would have been on the February agenda, but the evolving nature and ongoing release of EV charging infrastructure guidance caused delays in finalizing our work plan for submittal on March 1. A ratification of the application submittal is needed to be able to accept the funding by April 1, the beginning of Year 2 of the Cooperative Agreement. This item will not require a budget amendment. - Lyle Hufstetler]

I JUST, JUST GOT A COMMENT, THIS, THIS BUSINESS OF RATIFYING CONTRACTS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO DO BUSINESS.

AND I KNOW THIS WAS FORCED UPON US BY THE STATE.

UM, YOU KNOW, THEY NEED TO LOOK AT TIMELINES ALSO AND MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ABLE TO DO OUR BUSINESS INSTEAD OF FORCING SOMETHING DOWN THAT TAKES A TWO DAY TURNAROUND.

THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

AND WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING BUSINESS THAT WAY.

AND, UH, I'LL, UH, I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THIS CAME FROM.

CAUSE I'LL, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TALK TO THEM ALSO, THIS THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS ON A TWO DAY TURNAROUND

[20. Consider and act upon the recommendation to release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for nutrition providers and execute contracts with selected providers. This item does not require a budget amendment. - Jo Ann Tobias-Molina]

LEASE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR NUTRITION PROVIDERS AND EX EXECUTE CONTRACTS WITH SELECTED PROVIDERS.

UH, THIS ITEM, UH, DOES NOT REQUIRE A BUDGET AMENDMENT, MS. TOBIAS MOLINA.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING, MR. CHARITY.

MY NAME IS JOANNE AKALAITIS, JUANITA PROGRAMS DIRECTOR, AND THE AREA AGENCY ON AGING IS REQUESTING FROM CONTRACTORS TO PROVIDE THE NUTRITION SERVICES.

THESE NUTRITION SERVICES INCLUDED BOTH HOME DELIVERED MEALS, AS WELL AS CONGREGANT MEALS TO SUPPORT OUR OLDER ADULTS.

ONE OF THE CONGREGATE MEALS TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY, NOT ONLY IS THE NUTRITIOUS MEAL, BUT ALSO REDUCING SOCIAL ISOLATION BY OFFERING VACATION WHERE THEY CAN GO AND SOCIALIZE.

SO STAFF ARE RECOMMENDING THE AUTHORIZATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO RELEASE AN RFP AND EXECUTE CONTRACTS WITH DATES SELECTED AND YOU'RE SPREADING NUTRITION SERVICES.

IS THERE A DOLLAR AMOUNT? AM I MISSING THE TOTAL BUDGET OR THE RFP IS APPROXIMATELY $4 MILLION OVER THE TWO YEAR PERIOD.

THE RFP WILL REQUEST CONTRACTS WITH TIME.

THAT STARTED OCTOBER 1ST, 2022, AND GO UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2024.

SO APPROXIMATELY $4 MILLION, IF I CAN ELABORATE.

UH, AND THANK YOU, MAYOR DENNIS.

SO WE CAN CLARIFY THAT IS A LARGE NUMBER OF NUTRITION PROVIDERS BECAUSE WE HAVE SEVERAL WITHIN BEAR COUNTY.

WE HAVE SEVERAL INCOME OWL, UM, UH, MEDINA COUNTY CURB, UH, EACH COUNTY HAS THEIR OWN.

AND SO UNTIL WE GET THEIR PROPOSAL AND WE DON'T KNOW THE EXACT AMOUNT FOR EACH PROVIDER, WE JUST KNOW THE CONQUERED AMOUNT THAT'S IN OUR CONTRACT FROM THE STATE.

SO UNTIL WE GET THOSE INDIVIDUAL PROPOSALS, WE'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE PER MEAL.

WE CERTAINLY CAN BRING BACK THE LIST OF CONTRACTS, UH, FOR Y'ALL'S CONSIDERATION SEPARATELY AFTER THE RFP IS RELEASED.

UH, WE CAN CERTAINLY BRING THE CONTRACTS BACK WITH THE SPECIFIC AMOUNT AT THE NEXT TIME.

OKAY.

WE'LL BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

SO WE COULD, IF WE COULD JUST HAVE APPROVAL TO RELEASE THE RFP, WE'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.

MOST MY JUDGE, SHEWHART SECOND BY JUDGE JACKSON AND DISCUSSION.

IS THERE A CAP ACCOUNT WE PAY? YES, SIR.

FOR THE HOME DELIVERED MEAL, IT DEPENDS IF THEY HAVE ALL THE TIME, HAVE PLENTY CONTRACTS SO THAT WE CAN ON THE TOTAL IT'S FIVE 30 MONTH SENTENCE PER DEAL, UH, FOR THIS YEAR.

AND WE EXPECT THAT IT WILL PROBABLY BE THE SAME.

WE HAVEN'T HAD IT YET.

SO IT'S LIMITED.

AND THEN ALSO IT'S GOING TO DEPEND ON WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTORS AT THE BACK THAT'S CALLED A UNIFORM RATE CITY BOOK, WHERE THEY VENDOR IT, TELL US EXACTLY WHAT IT COSTS THEM TO PROVIDE THAT VIEW AND THEN OUR PROCESS.

SO WE HAVE A GREAT, I BELIEVE WITH THAT, BUT AGAIN, ONCE WE HAD THE FOOD VENDORS, ALL RIGHT, GOOD MOTION OR SECOND, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION HEARING? NONE.

ALL IN FAVOR, ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU, JOANNE.

ALL RIGHT.
