I have none Next we have items for discussion and possible recommendation of the common counsel Agenda item number seven discussion and possible action regarding the city of Sheboygan's 20-year comprehensive plan update presentation by Vanda wall and associate consultants I'm gonna call on Chad Pelle check to introduce our guests Thank you chairman This is the result this presentation tonight The first one is the result of a nine-month planning process on the city's comprehensive plan update the last time the city developed a comprehensive plan was in 2000 and that plan a lot of the recommendations brought forth and that plan have actually Successfully been completed. So it was looked at as moving forward we need to kind of have a 20-year vision on our Smart growth initiatives land use process moving forward and at that stage We had applied for a grant through the Wisconsin Department of Administration For seventy thousand dollars was awarded and we're matching that with some city funds And we did a process to bring on a consultant You guys had approved the contract with Vanda well and associates who has done a lot of planning work for the city over the past 20 years So what they're going to do tonight is go through a presentation. This is we're treating this as a last kind of public participation Part of the plan under the state statute were required to have so many public participation events And after this there's they're going to go through a detailed process of how the city will be approving an ordinance and a resolution and Getting this thing as an official document guiding the future for the 20 next 20 years So we have Jolina Presti and Jessica, and I can't say your last name There you go With us they they're actually the two planners that worked on this plan we had developed a steering committee that was a lot of local residents and Particular business leaders and moved and had them at the table for a number of events to help us Guide the development of the plan. So I had provided to all the older persons a Executive summary of the plan I the documents too large for me to email But you can go to their website and look at it in more detail going forward Well, so what I'm going to do is let them go through the plan hit the high points And then if there's specific questions afterwards, we'll be happy to discuss them So without further ado, I'll turn it over to Jolina to start with Good evening everyone Well, thank you again for having us here tonight as Chad said the purpose of this meeting is to provide a Opportunity for public input and to present the plan to the council. So you're not seeing it for the first time When it comes before you as we go through the formal adoption process It is Chad mentioned also we have our company has a long history in Sheboygan We actually wrote the your current plan that was adopted in in 2000 And we've also been working on redevelopment efforts here in the city since the 1990s So we're really excited to continue our work here and and really move things forward. Oh I'm sorry. Go back Jolina. You were so on top of things. Here we go. Okay So tonight I'm just going to briefly cover the purpose of the plan The process that we went through to develop it Jolina is going to talk about some key recommendations And then I'll describe the process that we're going to go through to adopt it So what is a comprehensive plan? In 2000 the state passed legislation that said that every community in Wisconsin Had to have a comprehensive plan that included nine required elements And they cover everything from land use economic development and transportation Really runs the gamut of all the topics that a city needs to address The city as I mentioned the city adopted its current plan in 2000 And the state requires communities to update their plan every ten years. So this counts as that update process and obviously every about every ten years is is a good opportunity to Look at the recommendations that were in the plan make sure they still reflect the direction that the community wants to take So that's that's the process that they were going through right now As far as the timeline we started this project back in January We had a kickoff meeting as Chad mentioned We did form a steering committee to help with the planning process It was really a diverse group of folks representing a really a range of Groups including the arts community neighborhood organizations the business community The county staff and and other representatives were also very involved also And staff to Chad and Steve were both instrumental and really moving the process forward So this group not also or not only provided a sounding board for the recommendations and helped us Sift through some of the public input, but we hope that they'll also be instrumental in Beginning implementation right after adoption. We met with the committee three times And then as part of the second meeting we went out on a bus tour of the city It gave us an opportunity to look at some of the redevelopment ideas Talk about them as a group and really see what was going on So if you got behind a slow-moving city bus in May, I apologize right now so But all you know that as I mentioned the committee was was very helpful in moving the process forward Okay, so as Chad mentioned also we had an extensive public outreach for this process We had a variety of Outreach opportunities focus groups. We also had some one-on-one interviews We had a community vision workshop and then Chad Steve and Jolina Hosted a booth at the farmers market in August and really had an opportunity to share some of the key recommendations with the public and Get feedback on that also And finally throughout the the plan process we had a website that had key documents And meeting results that that were posted so that people could go check it out so as part of One of the the products that we did for this plan we took all of that input that we got at these meetings and With the help of the steering committee and staff prepared a vision statement graphic And it's it's over here too in a somewhat larger format so a vision statement is really meant to be a collection of statements or a single statement that is intended to be an overall guide For the the plan overall really all the recommendations in the document should tie back to this recommendation Or should tie back to this vision statement and make sure it's kind of a check-in to make sure that the decisions moving forward are consistent with this overall vision for the future So we got as you can imagine we got a lot of ideas from the public about you know What should be done with the city in the future? But these main ones were really what came to the top as the priorities for moving forward I'm just gonna read those out quickly the first one build a self-sustaining economy To focus on the city center Three revitalize our neighborhoods For capitalized on like Michigan and five cultivate the arts and other cultural assets And there's some more detailed recommendations on under each one of those and you'll be able to find those in the plan in the relevant chapters also, but We really feel like to that this document. It's an it's a nice 11 by 17 Color graphic can be used as a marketing piece to also boost the image of the city too So it can definitely serve a dual purpose Okay, so now we're going to transition a little bit into some of the key recommendations from the plan the First one and probably the one that at least city staff will reference the most is the future land use map the future land use map is a host of different types of Land use categories everything from residential commercial industrial Types of land uses and it it sets out how the city could develop over the next 20 to 25 years It's important because the state State statutes say that all land use decisions that the city will make moving forward have to be consistent with that map So what are some examples of land use decisions? So? Annexations rezonings conditional use permits So a lot of the things that the plan commission and the council to deal with Have to now going forward be consistent with this map And we can talk about that a little bit later in more detail But in general and we do have some more we do have this map in three sections in the plan too because it gets a little a little Fuzzy especially in the downtown but you know basically the idea for future growth is the future non residential development businesses industry job creation job growth areas would be near the interstate corridor obviously for access reasons and then Areas to immediately to the south and immediately north of the city would be identified for future residential development pretty pretty straightforward So with that Going to turn it over Jolena We'll be happy to take any questions at the end or if anybody has anything right away on the topics that I addressed I can certainly Take them now too, but okay any questions. I forgot to mention before we are on live television tonight So we'll need our mics Great, thanks. I'll go through the key recommendations now beyond the land use future land use map So Jessica is going to put up a larger version of this map But it's what we call the opportunities and focus area map and like the vision statement. This is a Graphic or a map that we think really can serve well to stand alone on its own You can have this out as your especially city staff and the mayor can go out and use This is a tool to say here's where we're focusing on and as you might have guessed from some of the categories Jessica was mentioning from the vision statement The community the steering committee and the city staff really guided us to understand that they're focused on revitalizing the core and so the focus areas that are Obviously hard to read here, but downtown is a key area The lakefront where the pentare former pentare site the Willow Creek Business Center Which is Indiana Avenue and we'll talk about these a little bit as we go through Calumet Drive North 15th Street Michigan Avenue Taylor Drive and South Business Center or South Business Drive, sorry Those are areas that are very big and encompass large parts of your community So obviously even with targeting these you're going to have to focus on specific Projects knowing you know constraints with budgets and staff time and volunteer support So as as the city moves forward in implementing this you really have to figure out where you want to spend your energy But this is a way at least of organizing the key areas So this actually follows along with the executive summary We wanted to pull out what are the key things are the key initiatives If you're gonna get started now for the next five to ten years where should energy be focused based on the input we received Promoting infill and redevelopment. So obviously this example here Is the Calumet Drive and 15th Street and what we're talking about here is really Looking at a land-use pattern that maybe has shifted and you know former commercial area that maybe isn't as thriving where areas that you could do new projects and Also connect to the neighborhoods and improve the area overall The purple bubble up above is employment infill So another location within your community to put appropriate business development for employment growth Another key recommendation or initiative is spurring economic development and job creation I just threw in this graphic from a marketing piece. That's on your city website called the fresh tech Marketing initiative that encompasses the Willow Creek business park all the way to the the lakeside business center where the Pentair site is Located but I use this because I wanted to to illustrate how as a community You can continue to develop the Sheboygan brand or rebrand and think about new ways to advance economic development in the community And maybe differentiate yourself not just from your neighbors, but throughout the region in the state Focusing on targeted economic development growth areas This is just another graphic that shows, you know You've been spending a lot of time over the past 20 25 years working on South Pier working on downtown now growing beyond that Working on Calumet Drive north 15th as I mentioned Michigan Avenue was an area that people really brought up is being you know It's it's basically what I would consider your downtown, but it's still still separate So how to focus a little bit more energy there and work on that like you have in other areas and then the Taylor Drive area Which you've already been underway in redeveloping but continuing that Then focusing on targeted economic development growth areas so advancing things like the fresh tech Initiative regional foods is another initiative that the city has been working on in partnership with the Sheboygan County EDC Developing the Willow Creek Business Park or advancing the recommendations that come out of that and are adapted and then maximizing the lakefront business center These were really seen as the key areas of opportunity now I mean, there's there's plenty of areas that could use other Investment, but if you really wanted to make a difference in the next five to ten years These were the areas people felt really should be focused on Of course, it's important for this community to further continue to enhance the lakefront and the riverfront That's been a very strong initiative that you've been undertaking for many many years But continue to attract new development find new ways to appeal to residents as as well as you've done is appealing to visitors I think we heard that people want to make sure it also is a very strong residential draw And I think that's an area that we can continue working on in the future And then facilitating a healthy community and that means a lot of different things But I think one thing that's come out of this is really Healthy living in terms of foods Being able to bike to work walk to work people being able to live in an environment that is healthy and sustaining That again ties into the enhancing the transportation system you have a great effort at your county level and It was important many people at the table felt it was important to make sure that the regional plan or the county UI plan is implemented and then that is actually played out in the city of Sheboygan as well So that was important another thing that's come up that you probably wouldn't be a surprise to you is the idea of advocating for the I-43 interchange at Indiana Avenue and People felt that in order to revitalize India Indiana Avenue, which has been a big Discussion over the last couple years something that's really needed and this is coming from the business as well as residential community Is some sort of additional interchange to make that area thrive? Continuing to provide high quality public services Establishing citywide broadband services came out as an important issue addressing future sanitary sewer capacity and water system improvements Strengthening neighborhoods so as we're talking about the commercial corridors and opportunities for business growth We're also talking about finding ways to improve your existing neighborhoods your historic neighborhoods the core of this community and Finding ways to make sure people want to live in the city We heard not just with our efforts, but also the the young professionals Focus group that was held by the EDC It was really interesting because I think people think everybody wants to you know move out to Sheboygan Falls Or you know people are moving out and that's not really the case what they heard in that event was people want to live In Sheboygan they just need to figure out or we need to have more opportunity for that so more rental housing that isn't That is desirable to you know young professionals that maybe work in the outline area But they want to live in your most urban environment here And then that I guess I jumped ahead diversifying the city's housing stack I just threw the photo of the capsule building on here as an example because that is a project that you know It's been underway. It's you know, we're trying to to match the right developer to fill that need that I just said But there's other areas and throughout the plan we talk about areas where you might be able to infill with additional market rate housing To kind of diversify your housing stack and either keep the people here that are here or draw people in that are going to work in the region And then something that was also important to this group was advancing the tradition of rich arts cultural facilities and events The Partnering with business and Chamber of Commerce was important and then something that came up that I haven't necessarily heard in other communities Is the idea of preparing an inventory of what's available culturally it sounded like you know There's really a lot of people out there doing different things some people are you know putting lists together But there's really not a all-encompassing inventory and they felt like that would really help sell the community It goes back to your branding as well as just let people know in one location what's going on So that seems like an achievable Activity once somebody takes charge of you know doing that and then Jessica is just going to wrap up on the next steps And then we'll take questions. Oh, yeah So statutes identifies a Fairly prescriptive process for adopting the comprehensive plan It will the plan will go to council on the 17th. They will recommend it back to plan the plan commission The plan commission will make a recommendation by resolution For the council to adopt the plan And then we have to go through a 30-day public review period and during that period we have to distribute the draft plan to adjacent communities and to the state and to the county and Following that 30-day period the the council can or it is required to hold a public hearing And then they can adopt it anytime after that So tentatively we've identified December 5th that public hearing And then after that we would distribute then the final adopted plan in case there were any changes to those same surrounding and overlapping communities again, so And then we will immediately commence with with implementation and in a lot of those implementation ideas were the ones that that Jolina talked about in those The in her section of the presentation and they're also in the executive summary that that Was distributed So this is our steering committee and we really can't thank them enough for the time and the efforts They that they put in obviously it's not riveting stuff to all of us only as planners And we really appreciate the time that they put in so Wanted to acknowledge them Any questions from the council? Chad do we you need a motion from this body tonight? You got it down for discussion and possible action Yeah, I don't think we need a I don't think we need a motion from it for this particular item because There's going to be a resolution coming into council anyway as part of the state statute All right, but one thing I just wanted to say and in closing is This process and I Jolina really hit on some of the key Redevelopment efforts in the city's inner core is where we need to do a lot of work But we also had a steer holder a stakeholder committee meetings with They did with our surrounding townships and gained a lot of interest and you'll see that in the plan As to what the town of Sheboygan's feels were and what the town of Wilson's feels were and some of our you know Future expansion because some of our industrial expansion obviously is going to happen to the south and there's some key pieces of Property that have been identified south of the Sheboygan business center the current business center for the industrial part And then kind of some residential stuff maybe to the north and some areas that are either in the city or very near the city So even though the presentation focused a lot on the core and our downtown You know there is some expansion out into those areas because those are were Obviously industrial is going to happen versus in the center core as it had in the past that that's you know Obviously a movement that's moving forward So the plan does identify all that and I you know if you have time I would recommend that you go to their website and you don't have to read the whole plan But just scan through some of those key areas because those are going to be the Initiatives that we're going to be pushing forward when developers come to us and when you know We're looking for new opportunities To really branch out for some of those areas as well. So this is kind of our 20 year guiding Principle moving forward as a community and in our department alone as well as other departments will be referring to this as we move forward Thanks, Chad. Thank you. Thank you for the presentation ladies We'll move on to item number eight on the agenda and that is a discussion and possible action Regarding shukert farms conservation plan presentation by a grave consultants I'll call on Chad again to make the introduction We have to do some technology switch over here For a second PowerPoint presentation, but while Carolyn is getting that together. I'll kind of give you an introduction on that plan That this is the plan that was approved by the council with a $40,000 grant from the DNR And I just want to recognize in the in the back of the room is Stacy Rohn from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Who's been kind of a spearheader of these projects at the DNR level? And approached the city and said we have money. We want to do projects. Are you willing to be the sponsor of these projects? So, you know, we we think the DNR moving forward, especially this is a smaller project at 40,000 But we have this habitat restoration project under contract now with the SEH for 450,000 with up to five million of improvements being happening next summer as part of the Sheboygan River project So we're proud that the DNR is a partner in this on on this project But what this project really was was to look at the Shukard Farms The DNR's has they have a couple technical advisory committees that identified the Shukard property as a key property to study from a conservation standpoint and figure out what's happening there because it's a very prestigious It's a very prestigious piece of property with a lot of You know, there's environmental corridors There's there's challenges with developing that and we will and we're this really turned out to be a project that Allows us to kind of guide our development moving forward So what what we did was we went out on RFP for this and we hired Graf out of Milwaukee another consultant that We've worked with in the past and they've put together a conservation plan for that in in Carolyn's gonna go into Kind of their findings on what they found they spent a very short time out there dad gathering a lot of data on that property We've got a lot of data from the DNR And there was some stuff that came forward that we weren't aware of and it's it's gonna have to be played into the whole Development picture as we move forward. So I'll let Carolyn kind of go through her presentation And then if you have specific questions, we'll try to answer them as well What we're gonna be looking for under under this one though is a recommendation to the council on this plan So we can get this wrapped up submit our final invoicing to the DNR get our funds reimbursed and close out this project Thanks, yeah Thank you again. I'm Carolyn S. Wine. I'm with Graf We had some partners on this project as well our aquatic expert looking at Willow Creek and and the fish that are there is from ecological research partners and then our wildlife expert is Western Great Lakes bird and bat out there Looking at the different reptiles as well as birds Go ahead. I assume most of you are familiar with the shoe cart property is a hundred and seventy seven acres It's on the west side just west of Taylor Drive very unique It's unique to have a property this large as an environmental feature It has been farmed over the years It has a creek going through the middle as well as some very high quality Environmental features to the north and as you may or may not know it has some very interesting Topography, I think most of the most of us have been around the perimeter of the site But actually when you're walking through it it has some unique features. So I'll walk through what we looked at as Chad mentioned We only had one month. Normally these studies take several months. So we did gather a lot of data that was Really just over a few weeks, but with the understanding there's other data out there that we used as well So what was the purpose? Well, the purpose was to identify the types and qualities of habitats So we looked at the plant communities We looked at forestry as I mentioned Willow Creek the actual habitat of the water as well as which Fish species were there and then we looked at wildlife which includes birds The different reptiles that are on the on the site as well as some mammals We wanted to look at this to determine. Well, which areas make sense to protect There's a lot of areas, but which ones are we protecting as is because they're high quality right now Which ones are we going to protect? But they need some restoration. They need some improvement We also wanted to take a look at which areas make sense to develop based on topography and again Which areas might have the few fewest environmental constraints? And all this is based on not just our field survey, but input from the city the DNR TAC stands for a technical advisory committee that we worked with They are currently looking at the entire Sheboygan River corridor the area of concern through the DNR So they had a lot of input in a lot of data they provided and a lot of studies that that have already been done So start out with plants I'm not going to go into a lot of detail because there's a lot of very technical detail that environmental staff have provided But overall there are 31 different plant communities for this particular parcel If you look at the map the the blues are some wetland categories the green are uplands Which includes some of the forested areas and then there are a lot of invasive species So species that are taking over essentially are good quality Species that are good for the the habitat the birds and things that are there So we've identified those and forestry there are six forest stands or large forest areas most of those have a fair overall health and Again, there are some invasive areas that we are looking to to clean up So recommendations there What we're hearing is that most of the land needs some kind of management and that that varies from going in and getting rid of Invasive species to making sure we have some new opportunities for those areas to actually grow and Augmenting which means allowing some natural generation of some of those plants that are that are healthier plants good And for forestry again, some of it's been degraded. There's some very very aggressive Invasive species that what happens essentially? I'm not the expert on this so it's easier for me to understand by explaining it creates a lot of shade Which means all the new Sprouts can't grow and so the healthy plants that you want on the site are getting choked out essentially by the invasives And so we need to clean that up What what this leads to is if you have a lack of ground cover because a lot of these trees that aren't the high quality trees are taking over We have a lot of erosion because there aren't plants that are the healthy ones that we want Maintaining the ground so the ground is washing away when it when we have some of the large storms and it affects your habitat So forestry would be to remove a lot of those invasive species and there's a little more detail obviously in the report We want to enhance the higher quality forest and those species and then establish that understory So we do have the higher quality plants that will help with the erosion and habitat In the wetlands there as I mentioned there's several different ones a through e and you can see they're scattered throughout the site We have some higher quality ones to the north. We have several to the south for orientation This is the railroad that creates a very strong division in the site So you have the southern portion and then the northern portion. This is Indiana down here I won't go through all the details but their recommendations for again Maintaining the quality of many of those wetlands because for some of those we have found Groundwater seeps so there's water coming up from the ground Which is actually the best thing for Willow Creek because it keeps it cooler And I'll talk a little bit about that because that's actually a very critical component And so those areas need to be protected And then for wildlife 55 bird species, I thought that was a very high number, but they've gone out They've been able to track they listen to the sounds and they can tell you what kind of birds they are There are migratory birds that come from the north stop at the shukard property and then continue to the south So again, it's a very important property for that as well Six of those 55 are considered species of greatest conservation need or special concerns So there are some regulations usually that you should protect them as much as possible There are nine mammal species. Those are what you'd expect. There's deer. There's well the turkey are considered the birds, but there's Raccoons and squirrels, so there's nothing extraordinary in that area, but there are quite a few and then there's 16 insect and Invertebrate species as well So what we're looking at for implications here. We need a healthy Plant community and a healthy habitat for all of those birds to continue breeding and surviving here as well as all the wildlife So again, you're gonna hear me say we need to get rid of a lot of those invasive species and look at how we can Allow some of the the higher quality plans to regenerate And essentially the last item here is looking at a management plan ultimately We need a management plan that identifies over time how to get rid of those invasive species How to regenerate the plants that you want and that'll take quite some time But again, it's through a management process And then aquatic we looked at several categories of aquatic the first one I'm going to talk about is water quality The quality itself is actually fairly good We have some issues when they're storms And we have a lot of water flow that comes through the temperature Fluctuates to a fair amount again the railroad is here So the piece north of the temperature warms up But then it becomes very cool as you get closer to Taylor Drive and come down towards Indiana And again, that's because we did find a lot of these seeps that come out a century It's the water coming from below the ground that to cooler temperature But you can tell by the pictures you'll see some more in the upcoming slides That there is a lot of erosion and so we need to look at how to improve that And some of that isn't just on this property, but some of that is coming from outside of the chukar property So to get into the stream flow, which again is causing some of that erosion Lot not luckily, but we did have some storms in August So our Tim was able to actually monitor the increase in water flow right after those storms It peaks you can see, you know, I don't need to go through all the details, but you can see the very high peaks That's right after a storm, but then it recedes very quickly. So the water is moving through very quickly So some of the implications we're talking about they come flashy flows They're causing the the bank erosion, which is increasing actually the width of the river of the creek And as I mentioned some of that's not from the site some of that is from upstream you have Impacts from obviously the highway and other pieces to the north As well as other runoff within the area coming from impervious surfaces And the implications for that as I mentioned it's it's widening your channel You can see areas where a lot of the tree roots are exposed There are a couple areas where he said it's not going to take much time And you're going to have a more debris falling in they call them little woody debris areas where you see trees have Already fallen into the creek and it starts to block the flow of the water in some cases those form Habitats, but if you have too much of that building up it affects the the quality that habitat So ultimately we just want to look at how to reduce that amount of erosion And so habitats as I mentioned the fish need to have the flow have the there's a lot of oxygen the actual Quality of the water is very good, and I would say although there's a lot of concern This creek is very healthy compared to most within our region I think there's a lot of places that would like the quality of Willow Creek The the really the goal here is to maintain that and then improve it to restore it We understand that there's you know people that are aware of some of the fishing opportunities here And so you want to think long term what are those opportunities are those opportunities for recreation? As well as for the environmental impact and so I mentioned those debris dams We want to make sure those are Removed and you can see it there's different characteristics of the the creek Looking at the fish There's some previous studies that we looked at there is a dominance of fish species that are usually found in more Marginal trout streams although the stream is designated by the DNR as a class 2 trout stream Which is a high quality stream We want to make sure that we can provide the habitat for those fish to actually reproduce salmon was observed in the creek in 0406 and this year and Trout has been observed upstream in 2006 so that tells you the the quality is high So we want to make sure that we protect it and improve it I won't go through all this but these are all the different fish that are actually in the creek and Then there are six different aquatic recommendations. Some of those are on-site some are off-site and the purpose of a lot of these recommendations is to allow the city and the DNR to be able to get grant funding to come in and actually Implement some of these improvements So you're going to help the quality of the creek but not just the creek but the actual entire habitat So project one is looking at the flow Restoration as I talked about you want to look at retention outside of the creek So you start to flow slow down that flow of water rushing into the creek and you can do that with infiltration Project to looking at the culverts and the road crossings that are currently on the site as well as any that would be proposed and Removing some of those culverts that are undersized which would allow fish to actually Pass through those areas and move a little bit to the north of the site as well There's a little offshoot to the north Project three we call those the large wood debris areas just managing that so you can improve the water flow The bank stabilization They're various different techniques to reduce the continued erosion In infiltration will help with that as well. So making sure the water's not always flowing right into the creek Looking at the grade control and the riffle enhancement, which is right in the the bed itself working with them proving the water flow And then ultimately a monitoring program which looks off-site as well as on the shaker property Have these implementation items improve the quality stabilized it in some cases so you can monitor that over time So ultimately what this led to was what we're calling a concept plan We looked at all those areas that were identified as very high quality and the highest quality which you can see are this purple color here Those are to the north. Those are sedge metal very high quality plant materials and then in The the steep slope here right off of Taylor Drive. There are those seeps I mentioned So there's water coming through the ground, which is very valuable to the site Also, there are a lot of permitting issues that say you can't you can't develop there anyway besides it's very steep So we want to make sure those are preserved and then everything that shows up in this blue and darker blue color throughout the Meanders, I know it's there's a lot of information to see on here. Those are all areas that should be protected But they also need enhancement and restoration all those things I talked about the different species and some of the water flow the stream bank to the creek which you can see coming through here and Then if you look at the preservation 116 acres an option one are Recommended for preservation which is 65% of the site That's a significant portion and much of that is because it's either land We aren't really permitted to develop or there are constraints to do to some of the slopes and the permitting that would be required So that allows 61.1 acres available for development You're going to see the majority of that land is along Indiana Avenue You have very easy access from that road the topography is much easier to work with you would have easier access through Circulation and then there's a large one in the central area Which is now in a field which is the 14.2 acres As well as some perimeter pieces that you can see just around the axis here would be Adjacent to development that already exist off a Taylor Drive, and then there are two smaller pieces immediately north of that railroad Oh, the railroad is elevated. We are not able to Connect between the north and the south because it would be a very significant expense It's not wide enough for a truck to get through or emergency vehicle to get through So we are looking at access to the north only from Taylor Drive coming down and access from the south would come off of Indiana There are two purple axis points the yellow axis points would be for pedestrian or bike paths only That would allow people to connect to the other trails especially from the west you could connect to the old plank trail You'd come around that could allow you to come through the site The sites immediately north of the railroad are a little more challenging because of their size So you would be restricted in the the size of the development and associated parking But they're perfect for somebody who's looking to be you know within a green sustainable development That's part of their mission They could easily come in and access the employees could access a trail system that we propose so you could hike throughout the whole site if you could look at this The lines that are shown here. There's a very steep Topography right here coming off of Taylor Drive. So that is a little bit challenging And then as you go to the northern parcel, there is a ridge Right there you're on the highest point of the ridge and you have woods on either side Again, you'd have to restrict how wide the the street is or the road is to allow the cars and the trucks in there And again, it would be ideal for a business that's looking for again the screen development They look at the scenic views. It's a very beautiful site You still have very easy access to the interstate and as Jelena mentioned off of Indiana the proposed interchange goes through I think that's ideal for Attracting businesses to this site for recreation. We've looked at as I mentioned the trail system the bike ped Trails that would come in and ultimately there could be some active recreation There's an opportunity here for some active or recreational fishing And so that's something that could be marketed as a bit of a tourism and we have quite a few fishermen in our Office one who grew up in Kohler and he said, you know, if that opens up I'm coming So he knows about the quality of the salmon and some of the trout that are there But it does have some constraints as I mentioned, we can't connect north and south but because of the Topography the ridge lines and some of the DNR permitting that'll be triggered. We did want to look at another option if it becomes so cost Prohibitive to develop this one. I'll let Chad go the second option We did look at how much could be developed to the north We have the three perimeter sites with the majority in the center being preserved now That only makes sense if you can come up with grants or somebody Provides grants for conservation easement or long-term deed restriction on the site So again, that requires some additional research or partnering with the DNR some of the conservancy groups as part of that technical advisory committee There were some ideas Suggested for how additional funding could be brought in because it has to balance the investment that was made But then the lack of money that you're going to get out from only having your development down here I will say the prime site is really along Indiana Because of the access the large size of it. You could do a couple larger Tenants here, or you could have several smaller tenants. So that one's actually pretty flexible Infiltration opportunities are these little gray black areas are Are really a suggestion for depending on what kind of development would occur? That's where they would best be located. We had some of our engineers take a look at that So it's an issue that needs to be discussed as this plan moves forward But there are two options on the table this one has thirty eight point five acres for development with seventy eight percent being preserved and The other constraints as I mentioned no linkages north and south would be the same So that's where we're at. We are submitting that after we get our last set of edits from the DNR And if there are any questions, I think Chad and I could try to take those Any questions, or do you have other comments yet? What I want to say is What we're really what the two options that she presented is is it's by all means not hindering any Development opportunities on the north side, but as a community We are outreaching with some of the key partners through the DNR and some other federal agencies to see if we can leverage some other funds about the with the idea of trying to Recoup what the city has spent on the north side of the parcel and if we could get Grant money to recoup those funds and look at putting that in preservation with just Recreational trails and really focus ourselves on developing the south side now. That's not to say we're not taking people through there We've had a couple tours with a couple Development options and the right development could go in that north side It's just that getting utilities and infrastructure in there is cost is costly So the idea is is let's try to focus our efforts on south of north of Indiana south of the railroad tracks those 38 acres and kind of build up some equity and some revenues and then move forward at that stage and that and also work on trying to obtain some funding to see if we can Recoup our costs and really focus in on developing the south side So that's really where we're at. We're we're exploring a number of federal Great Lakes initiative Opportunities that are out there We're gonna probably be applying for some grants come the first of the year to see about doing some enhanced conservation on that north side See where that goes and then we're still open for business and taking people and then interested developers and Submitting we just submitted this on the Milwaukee market this development concept to If there is any kind of green Developers for the northern parcel so it like Carolyn said it's going to be the key It's gonna we're gonna have to identify the key user for that north parcel It's not going to be an industrial or anything. That's got a lot of heavy traffic because the road Construction is going to be challenging so if anybody has any specific questions or anything we can answer them otherwise what we're looking for is a Recommendation to the full council to adopt the plan This isn't the full plan. It's really the executive summary the full plan is like 200 some pages With a lot of scientific information in it. That's way over my head But you know we I've sent out how do you can access that plan as well and further look into it But it's really this is going to be kind of our guiding Process moving forward with developing this this large chunk of land Have a question from Alderman Hammond. Actually, I would move that we Make a positive recommendation as a council second to accept this document a motion and a second Second by Alderman Versey. I believe under discussion I do have a couple I do have a couple questions just so I can visualize this a little better under the 14.2 acre site As far as giving me an idea of what the size of that would be could you give would that would be that beef for example like the size of the That the the Taylor Drive area where Festival Foods is I mean I'm having a hard time visualizing how big 14.2 acres is it I would say it's probably it probably is the area where the Taylor Drive Taylor shopping center Taylor H shopping center Festival Foods kind of bad area culvers Yeah, that's about a 14 acre parcel Okay, that would include the Festival Foods and culvers not the entire Taylor. I don't think so district there Festival the shopping center may be culvers Napa that kind of area and then the 31.7 acres Can you give us a little visual? Visualization of what 31 acres would be compared to what's kind of developed in the city right now Yeah, I understand that but something that's something that's developed Okay, okay good Alderman Samson, thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't have any questions. I just have a Comment it's absolutely amazing that you folks were able to get this done within 30 days That's a lot of information a lot of detail So my hats off to everybody involved getting that this whole thing put together. So thank you for all the hard work You guys have done. This is this is tremendously. This is amazing Thank you Alderman Samson we have a motion in a second why don't we call the roll on this one? belt Hi Carlson. Hi, Decker. Hi, Hammond. Hi, Hammond. Hi Heinemann hi Hi, Kittleson. Hi, Maddochek. Hi Brinflash. Hi, Riesler. Hi, Samson. Hi Vanderweel. Hi, Percy. Hi 15 I motion carries Next we have on the agenda items number nine and ten The documents from dimple Adams Mrs. Adams call me this afternoon and said she was ill. She's having some health issues and couldn't be here tonight So she asked me to ask the committee whether they'd be willing to hold these two documents and tell the next Committee of the whole meeting so she'd have an opportunity to be here and address the the committee so moved We have a motion in a second. I'll hold Items number nine and ten to the next meeting all in favor opposed chair votes aye Before we go into item number 11, let's take a five minute break so that the television cameras can be turned off Why don't we reconvene about? Ten to eight


This is Jimmy Powers ready to bring you another story from the tumult and the shouting. Hi there, this is Jimmy Powers with another transcribed Grantlin Rice story taken from the tumult and the shouting. Today's story is entitled, Bantam Ben Hogan, and I'd like to narrate it in first person. The first time I saw Hogan around 1937, he was practicing a wedge shot some 90 yards from the pin. He had been there an hour. He stayed much longer, placing the ball in good lies and bad. He hit many close to the cup inches away. What I want to do, he said, is to make a habit of hitting them all close to the cup. Golf or winning golf should be the habit of hitting every ball well. There is no reason to miss a shot. After he once hit his stride and on through to the present moment, Hogan has, I believe, hit fewer bad shots over a period of years than any other golfer. He is practically always putting for a par or a birdie, more often for a birdie. This didn't help Ben too much when he wasn't putting too well, so he started to work on his putting, and you'd find him at it hour after hour, month after month. There was a time around 1946 when I thought Ben was verging on serious trouble, the kind that could become a habit. It was the missed short put. In April of 1946, Hogan came to the last hole at the Augusta National with a four to tie the leader for the title in the Masters. He hit a magnificent drive. His iron also hit the pin and stopped just 12 feet beyond the cup. He rimmed the cup with a three, but the ball drifted 18 inches below. Then he missed this one for his four. About two months later at Canterbury the same thing happened. Again he needed a four to tie for the U.S. Open. Again a great drive, a great iron second, another 12 feet for a three to win. Once again the ball drifted by 18 inches. Once again he missed coming back. Here were two three put greens on final holes that cost him his big chance in two major tournaments, the Masters and the U.S. Open. Two experiences of that nature might have wrecked many golfers since bad mistakes repeated are likely to come back and haunt you. They didn't haunt Hogan. He merely brushed them aside, although they cost him two tournaments he would rather have won than any others in golf. I was at the Los Angeles Open in 1950 and heard Hogan had just arrived, but I had no idea he would play. As I understood things he was still a cripple from that near fatal auto smash-up months earlier. Hogan played brilliantly although his leg veins were still sutured and tied up at various nuts. Photographers swarmed all over him and he protested bitterly. They finally reached an agreement. Late on the last day of the tournament I sat with his wife Valerie for a while and then with Ben. He seemed completely safe. He was four strokes ahead of Sammy Snead with only four left for the lean Virginian. Sammy spoiled it by finishing with four birdies and winning the subsequent playoff. At the 1951 Open Championship, held at Marion just outside Philadelphia, I ran into Hogan two days before the championship. How are things? I asked. I knew his legs were not too good. I knew he wasn't back in shape. I knew he was worried about that 36-hole finish. This is a tough course, Ben said. It can't be attacked. You must play defensive golf here. What do you mean, I said? The greens are fast and hard. You can't make a ball bite. The pins are placed in front of traps or just back of the traps. I won't play for any pin here. I'll play for the middle of the green or away from all traps and then depend on two putts to get down. In his final round, Ben was near collapse at the 14th hole. He had to play 36 holes that final Saturday. After his legs refused to carry him any farther, his mind walked him home. He barely finished winding up in a triple tie with Mangrum and George Fasio. Valerie and the doctor worked on his crippled legs until 4 a.m. But he had enough left to win the next day the most remarkable finish I've seen in golf. But Hogan's third stand at Oakland Hills, Detroit, in June 1951 in the Open, with no physical handicap to consider, was just as fine a deed as even Hogan has yet brought about. For his final round was a magical matter of concentration and determination that has never been equaled before in golf. In this last round, Hogan proved again the tremendous hold he has upon head, heart, nerves, and physical structure. He had started badly in his first round over a course that had them all in a day. He hadn't been much better his second round. In his third round, he practically had the tournament won after the first 12 holes. He was then three under par, at which spot he suddenly blew wide open and finished four over par on the last six holes. So there was the job to be done all over once more. Knowing the length and killing penalties at Oakland Hills, it seemed impossible that under such a severe strain and such a killing test, anyone could possibly in Hogan's place have fired a par equaling 70. A 70 wouldn't have done Hogan any good. He would have lost his title by a stroke to Clayton Hefner. Here was a golf course where one was dead sure that par might not be equaled in any round that par would never be broken. But in this final and deciding fourth round with the pressure at its roughest, Hogan not only shot a 67 but finished his last nine in 32 strokes. His 32 on the final nine at Oakland Hills ending with a birdie three on the 459 yard last hole was certainly the most spectacular final nine holes any golf championship has ever known. He carved out that course with his mind, not his body. Hogan spent nearly three years in service during World War II, but when he came out in the fall of 45, he exited with a rush. Since 1946, the little man with the ice green eyes has won nine major titles, including two PGA championships, four opens, two masters, and the British Open at Carnoustie Scotland in the summer of 1953. Six of these, he won his first open in 48 and two professional titles in 46 and 48, have been one since the slim Indian Irish ex-caddy from Fort Worth was all but crushed to death in that accident. While stalking these and so many other titles, Hogan has murdered Parr in relentless fashion. Ben's score of 61 at Seminole Palm Beach in March 1954, over a course that measures more than 7,000 yards, may be his all-time best single round of golf. However, Hogan's shot making in the Masters Tournament of 1953, in which his total of 274 for 72 holes, was five strokes off the 279 record of Claude Harmon in 48, and Ralph Gouldall in 39 stands as his greatest single tournament. Hogan's toughest scrambles have been in playoffs. He was hooked up in four of these, winning but one. Ben was beaten by Sneed at Riviera Los Angeles and in the recent Masters at Augusta. He was beaten by Byron Nelson after coming from a long way back to Thai, but he won the big one at Marion in 1951. Against Nelson and Sneed at Augusta, Hogan broke Parr both times, but caught them on fast days. His last battle with Sam Sneed, a brilliant but unlucky golfer concerning the open, was spectacular. Hogan played almost perfect golf, with one exception. With a 10 or 12-foot putt to win the short 16th, he stubbed his putt, that is, he hit behind the ball, finished two feet short, and then blew the two-footer. This incident would happen to Hogan once in 10,000 times. In losing twice to Sneed, he lost to perhaps the greatest swinger of all times. Hogan's place in the parade no longer has to be proved. With four U.S. opens up to the June test of 1954, there isn't much one could add. He happens to be starring in one of the most uncertain games as far as unbroken form is concerned. Ui Kio once wrote that, Form is the brief interval between getting ready and going stale.  I understand he's writing a golf book for Lowell Pratt along the line of mental golf. I won't miss it. Such great golfers as Jones, Hagan, and Sarazan will tell you that golf is 70% mental, 30% physical. Hogan is certainly the top thinker shot by shot. He rarely guesses wrong or makes the slightest mistake. One reason is that he rarely has to guess. He knows. Looking back over the golf parade, I find unnumbered memories. The brilliant Tommy Armour and his massive hands, his amazing iron play. Gene Sarazan and his 30 odd years of championship or close to championship golf. Long Jim Barnes, triple champion with the clover leaf over one ear. The famous Jock Hutchinson, the stately Craig Wood, one of the game's best. Alex Smith, three time open champion whose model was Missham Quick. Jerry Travers, one of the greatest putters that ever waved a blade. Jones and his grand slam, Hagan and his competitive fire. Bobby Cruickshank, the many turnesses. Johnny Farrell, great iron shots for birdies that won a title. Short putts that missed by a hair and cost a title. I can still see most of them. But through these memories shines a light like no other I've seen while swinging along through a half century of golf. Through his complete dedication to his sport, Hogan has built in himself that more of everything, particularly brains, it takes to win than any golfer I ever saw. Well, that's it for today. Now this is Jimmy Powers transcribe saying until next we meet. Hasta la vista.


and other various agencies. So I try to meet with each individual one to one before they come out to a program. So everybody's needs are different. I work with offenders, so sometimes those individuals are violent offenders. I've worked with people who have not just domestic violence, but also murders. I work with women who are also victims of violence. I work with children who are victims of violence, sexual violence, it varies from each individual. So I kind of try to get an idea of where that person's at and what their needs are. So sometimes their needs aren't necessarily programming or education or program-based, but sometimes just friendly conversation, just to kind of see where their wellness is at and we do run programming as well. So each week we have a different topic that we cover within our programming. So for instance, right now we are running a 12-week violence reduction program. And some of that, it's very basic, like mindfulness, meditation, how to take yourself out of a situation and bringing yourself to a place of calm. This is a small life skill tool that sometimes we don't think about or we don't have that skill. We also talk about what our own individual roles are in the community and what we're doing for each other to reduce violence in small ways, I guess, right down to pay it forward, small ways to make somebody else smile or if somebody needs advocacy and support, are they reaching out? So I guess we're trying to just build up a group of people who are willing to go the distance and help others as well, not just in class learning. So up-and-coming programs that we are going to be doing are kind of bringing back to self-identity and learning about who we are as indigenous people. We have, I believe, in the next couple weeks, we're gonna be doing some teachings on the creation story, Nishinaabe creation story, and then also following that, we are going to do the Haudenosaunee creation story as well. We feel that it's important for people to understand and to be grounded in where they came from. We service a lot of people who don't have identity, so we try to touch on individual people's identities. So hence why we're doing Nishinaabe and Haudenosaunee, hopefully that we can pull in some other people to teach about other backgrounds as well. We do have Kree people as well as Mikmal that are attending programs right now and some people who don't know where they're from. So we just kind of give them a blanket idea of what different cultures entail. Going back to the violence reduction program, which we have, it's a holistic wellness program. We will be discussing in the future some about intimate partner violence and just bringing some awareness to that, what it is and who's affected. Also our traditional gender roles, how things were in the past, how things are now and how things have changed and how that affects the community in reference to violence. We did touch on the creation stories. In addition, we will be doing a medicine walk in the spring and we have offered some traditional crafting, which also we do discuss violence in those and touch on missing and murdered indigenous women and where that's at, how that happens, talking about vulnerabilities and just bringing some awareness to our group with that. When I do work with people individually, it looks different for each person. Some people, like I said, it's just talking and to giving them some ideas of ways of life and how to make some changes.  Niagara is in a state of despair right now. So to be able to take somebody and to, I guess, put some faith in them and to show them that there is hope and just finding resources is very difficult. We're struggling here in Niagara and in finding housing and services that, I mean, some things are just so far beyond our scope. Okay, so going back, we were talking about housing and mental health and again, that Niagara is in a state of despair around housing. An example is the hotel system. We have various hotels in Niagara that are housing people for low income. Unfortunately, these houses or these hotels are not appropriate for families with children and then we're facing people with lack of skills. Lack of skills in renting or bad credit, limited housing options or subsidized housing options. It's leaving families struggling even just to get into a shelter. So a lot of times we don't get around to the programming pieces because there's a constant state of crisis. Family and children services. And then the children are taken when there's inadequate. When parents aren't able to take care of their children but that also leaves the families without a lack of funds because their child tax, which is their main source to secure housing is taken from them. It leads to other issues that they have to face. And unfortunately, it seems to be chronic and it's really difficult. We do have programming here and we have seen some success within our Homeward Bound Program in housing single women. I believe it's between five and 10 families that we are currently servicing through Homeward Bound which I work very closely with because I do some life skill programming with that program, with some of the individuals involved there. So now they have a subsidy for their housing, they have appropriate housing, very homes that they probably wouldn't have been able to secure without the program. A handful of them are in college at this point. So doing some post-secondary. Others are doing academic upgrading and are expected to be in programs by next year. In addition to that, they are doing other programming around learning how to job skills, things like that, some cultural teaching and other programming such as that. Unfortunately, that funding is not enough to service our entire community and the restrictions on that funding are so strong that we're not able to service men in the same manner. We do need funding for individuals, men that are raising their children as well. We see a lot of that happening in this community. One of the questions is like, maybe how do you measure success of your program? Measuring success, I guess, some like to measure success in numbers. I guess that's true. I mean, how many people that you service and how many people are returning does measure success in some way. I think that success for me is being able to see somebody smile. That's success for me. I feel that, you know, if somebody's getting something out of the program, that's success. So for instance, in one of my programs, you know, I had an individual that felt comfortable enough to let me know that after a program, I guess talking about violence that she was able to discuss with me an incident that she had had this past week and how the program, some of the things that she had learned in the program were helping her to cope and to work through those issues that they were having in their home. So for me, that success, when those tools are being put to work and also that somebody trusts me enough that they're able to talk to me about what's happening in their lives. Another, I guess, indicator of success is when somebody goes for a treatment program that we've kind of helped to facilitate and they are successful and that they want to actually continue within a treatment program. So in some cases, some land-based programs that we've sent individuals to, they've carried on to do the aftercare and they have a plan in place where they would like to continue to grow and to stay sober. And it's amazing just to see that. That is, you know that these programs are successful. In evaluating each of the programs, we don't do a formal evaluation. However, we do look for verbal feedback from participants, what worked for them, what isn't working for them, right down to the meals. So I have a picky group of people and that food brings participants. So we do evaluate what did they like? What did they want to see? Where did they want to go? And one of the things that was recommended was to do a retreat of some sort and that's something that we're gonna work on and doing some, getting out in the land and doing some things that are different from what we have here within this urban community. Some of the challenges that we face, however, are our funding as well as our location. We are in a rural area that's in an urban community. So we don't have bus routes. We don't have the ability to always taxi people in. We have limited van usage because of the amount of programming that we have going on here. I have moved my programs to Saturday to alleviate that, that I can ensure that people are getting programs as well as I've moved to the downtown core of the main city that we service. From your perspective, what is Indigenous education? I think Indigenous education, one, it's getting right down to the roots and finding who you are. We have so many people who are displaced. They do not know who they are. And I have to be honest, like that was also myself coming into the community at the age of 21. The not knowing who I was and only, my only focus was on the abuse that we had suffered as children. And that was how I identified being Indigenous was, I guess, focused on abuse. I learned in my 20s that my own father had attended the mush hole and that he had spent a good portion of his life there. And it gave me insight as to why we had to suffer that kind of violence as young people. So for me, I think Indigenous education is finding those healthy people, the elders, the knowledge holders, the people in the community that are able to teach us about living in a good way and living a good life and sharing stories, sharing language. I think that outside of this community, those things seem so small that they're, I think that's the foundation. Those are the big things that we need to pass on and to share. And that's why I try to bring that into my programming and not just focusing on violence but focusing on moving forward and how are we gonna live in a good way? What is your vision for Indigenous education over the next 10 years? Indigenous education. So as a parent, I see it in so many different ways. I have three children and all of my children have different ideas of what their education is going to look like and being Indigenous children. From my son who, his education is going to be more hands-on and for my daughter, I envision that she's going to wanna learn a lot more about her background. She's decided that she would like to be a midwife but she'd like to do that in the Indigenous community. So I foresee that more children and youth are going to be, I guess, adults as well are going to be going into a more formal education rather than stopping where we're at. I think that programs are pushing people to see a bigger, I guess, a bigger vision for themselves, right? Where they can go to post-secondary school. That's, for some people, they didn't think that was an option.  And my youngest son, it's, I mean, he's four years old but I see great things for him as well and that he will move forward and become educated. So I guess to summarize what I'm trying to say is that I do see more Indigenous people going into formal education in the next 10 years and there's going to be a lot more professional Indigenous people so within our court system and within all of these systems, I think that we're gonna see a huge rise in Indigenous people.


Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Frank LLampard has given his pre-match press conference ahead of Everton vs Manchester United which kicks off at a horrible time of seven o'clock on Sunday evening. Frank LLampard seemed in a buoyant mood, a happy mood and why wouldn't he be everton of recorded back-to-back victories in the Premier League and a victory against Manchester United on Sunday will take everton above United this season. It's been a really positive start for LLampard. He did kind of play down the fact that Everton, I've only won two games this season, that we can't get carried away which is absolutely the sensible thing to do. He was full of positive news where injuries are concerned and the first one of that was the fact that Dominic Calvert-Lewin is available to be in the Everton squad. This is what he had to say about Dom. He's in contention to see how much fit he is but in terms of the injury he's better. People are standing in the leg last year and at that moment we want to get him fit, we want to get him playing regularly. So that was good, good news that Dom's back in it. It will really help Everton I think having Dominic Calvert-Lewin back in the side. He's been unavailable all season and we've missed him. Obviously the first few games we played without a wreck and ice striker Neil Malpie has come in and done well. Obviously he got the winner against West Ham was a decent performance last week from him as well. But it will help having a real option off the bench and particularly against Manchester United who haven't been great defensively and so we've got that opportunity to get Dominic Calvert-Lewin at Demet for the last half an hour or whatever on Sunday then I think it's a great opportunity. It's a great tool for Everton to have no wonder Frank Llanparg's luchon. More happy that he is available. He also had positive news on centre back duo Yerri Mina and Mason Holgate. Training with us which is great. Yeri came in in the last couple of days training, Mason came in today part of training. Both working hard to get there so this weekend comes probably too early for both of them, definitely for Mason. But we hope for a good weeks training next week they can be in contention from then on. Again just going off the back of what I was just saying about Calvert-Lewin. Don't expect Mason Holgate or Yerri Mina to come in and dislodge Conacodio, James Tarkowski certainly not straight away. But just the fact that they are going to be available again and being in the matchday squad. I think just builds that strength in that squad. Obviously both have played this season. Yerri was having a decent game against Chelsea until he got injured on day one and Holgate who come in that day for Ben Goffrey and did well until he got injured against Brentford. So it just builds that squad up. It takes the strength of the squad up having them on the bench so again and also takes the level of training up so good news that they are available again. Albeit this Sunday probably comes a little bit too soon for them. But just on the basis of having them back the manager did speak about the importance of trying to break up Conacodio, James Tarkowski partnership. They've set the level, they've set the standard. Can the lads who are coming in get to that standard? And then that went on to Conacodio and whether Everton, the Everton manager was ready to bring him in right now. This is what Frank Llanparth had to say. Well it's not probably a question for now because it's so far away a lot can happen. Cona has been really really good. So maybe understate it since he's been here. He's been amazing in terms of his own performance and in terms of his influence on the team on and off the pitch. So I think that's really visible as a long season to go. Cona knows how I feel about him. I think Cona knows how the club feels about him and he's said a lot himself about the feeling. But I don't think it's time for that answer to that question to corrupt it at the minute. I think it's just good that we're working together. He's settled in really quickly. I know what my feeling is and we'll see. Obviously Frank Llanparth's right. We're not in any kind of transfer window. There's an option in place for Cona Cody. I think it's well documented now that it is a £4.5 million. It's the fee that's been bounced around. There's obviously add-ons in that I think another couple of million that would take it up to about £6.5 million. Which would be a really good bit of business. Cona's come in and settled in really well and being tremendous. But it is early days and while we have that option and we like him and he likes us, there's nothing really to worry about. And it'll all come down again to whether it goes in Evans financial year this year or whether they're struggling for the summer. But I think both parties are keen for this to be a permanent deal. So it's one of them that's put on the back burner for now and hopefully Cona continues to impress. On the back of that, it was reminded to Frank Llanparth that Evans do have the best offensive record in the Premier League right now. Which has been a huge turn around last season. We were far too poor giving goals away. But that defensive record has been the basis for Evans to get positive results this season. And that's certainly the way the manager saw it. This is what he had to say. Well, I'm very happy about it because it's a base that can help you win games. It's a base that we never had last year since I came here. We didn't have it for whatever reasons and they're ours to analyse and we did. And hopefully we've corrected certain parts of that. I'm happy for the lads because you work as a team collectively. And it's a really nice stat to hold on to because there's some fantastic teams in this league that don't give away many chances. And we're at the top of that. And it's how long can we stay in and around that for? Realistically, we know that may change for sure. But we must take pride in it and understand what it takes. And can we get even better? We can certainly get even better defensively. But some of our play and some of our setup for me has been really pleasing but we can get better. Sticking with the press conference, the manager was asked about other players coming into the record. And it was asked about James Garner in particular who hasn't defeated since signing from Manchester United yet. Obviously he was unfit, wasn't he for the first game against Liverpool. He's got himself in the squad.  James is ready. He's completely ready and when he came he was very honest. He wasn't fit for the Liverpool game and the match fit. So we had to work him. He went away with a 21s and played a game and now he's completely ready. So he's ready to go and the way he's training I'm excited to see him play and get him in the team. There you go. So it looks like Frank Lampard's ready to get James Garner in as soon as he can. But obviously he's got a force his way in. The midfield is doing really well at the moment. So he's just got to buy at this time and I'm sure the minute Lampard can get him in there he will. And we'll all get to see our new signing. We haven't seen so far. Manchester United manager Eric Ten Haag has revealed that Rafa Varan may be fit. He may be fit to face Everton on Sunday. The French defender limped off after 40 minutes in the Manchester Darw. He was probably fed up with getting the chasing by Harlan to be honest. But Ten Haag said he may well be fit to face Everton on Sunday night. He confirmed though that Harry Maguire wouldn't be fit. Take that whichever way you want whether it's a positive or a negative. I don't know. And Ten Haag also said that Wamba Sacher and Donnie van der Byg are also doubtful for the game. He's unsure whether either of them would be in the squad for that one on Sunday night. So yeah, some early team news from Manchester United. And finally reports coming out of France today stating that Andre Gomez will need to improve if Leal are to make the Portuguese midfielders move to then permanent from Everton. Gomez went on loan during the summit. He's only managed the 166 minutes so far for Paulo Fonseca's team across four appearances. Leal doing okay. Gomez we know is a nice footballer. He's going to have to work a little bit harder if these reports are to be believed. It is early into his loan spell and obviously he's got the season to put that right. I think if Andre wants to remain there he is going to have to improve a little bit. I don't really see any way back for him at Everton. He's still got just under two years left on his current Everton deal. So I feel like he's going to have to go some get a move to get a move to Leal and then obviously he can move on with the next part of his career because I just don't see him getting back into a Frank Lampard midfield. That has been basically overhauled this summer. Hopefully Andre can get that sorted and get his move there permanently. That is it for the news daily. Make sure you give the video a thumbs up.

My name is Ken Mayer. I'll be your instructor throughout this course and a little bit of a background. I've been in some sort of technology field involving computers since the early 80s. The last 18 years I've spent as a consultant, contractor, and of course in some training. And I've been able to work with Windows from very different flavors all the way back to the days prior to NT, the NT4, Windows 2000, 2003, and so now here we are with Windows 2008. I've also worked with other operating systems and other vendors. I'm Cisco certified as well, working with Juniper Networks, so I do a lot of routing and switching, so I kind of hit the full gamut of what's out there in the network. But my biggest focus has also been on security, doing the ethical hacking, the penetration tests into other networks. And so with all of that experience, what my hopes are going to be is that as we talk about managing and maintaining Windows, that I can bring all of these other pieces into this course for you to be able to give you a very well-rounded set of knowledge and of course to be able to make you able to work with Windows 2008 and for those of you who are certification seeking to be able to help you on your way to getting that Windows certification. Now in this chapter, we're going to talk about getting ready for the installation of 2008 server. So we're going to talk about, kind of as an overview, some of the options that you have on how to deploy the 2008 server. We're going to talk about any compatibility issues you should be looking at, either with legacy systems or legacy applications that are running. And when we gather that information, we're then going to show you how to develop a plan for the deployment of server 2008. In this lesson, we're going to talk about as an overview of the ways in which you can go about doing a deployment of server 2008. First things we're going to say is that we should understand what are the business needs we're trying to meet by deploying this technology and making sure that's the first thing we look at as we come up with a plan. From there, we're going to decide, do we want the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version? There's a lot of advantages with going to 64 bits, like extra memory capabilities and many better performance issues, but again, could have some legacy issues. And of course, don't forget any of the other types of considerations that you have as far as some deployment because now with 2008 server, you might want to do some consolidation, have multiple roles in the same server, build it for high availability with clustering, and of course, virtualization is a big part of what I can do in 2008, so that should be another part of your considerations. First of all, when we start asking what requirements do you need for the purpose of the migration to 2008, you can take it down and break it into maybe three different areas that you could study, the server management, the user experience, and the operations. So with the server management, one of the things that you're going to see with Windows 2008 is that it's going to be able to meet most every need that you have because it's going to offer some very flexible deployment features. And when I talk about the deployment, I'm talking about much more than just installing software onto the hard drive. I'm talking about the fact that you have all of these server roles that you're going to get to pick and choose from. And we're going to talk about what you can install. We're even going to show you how flexible it is that you can install 2008 server without having the GUI portion available for you, that it can be an entire command line field that you do all of your work. It's called the server core. So that's a lot of flexibility that you choose the type of installation, what type of interaction you want to have with it, and then you choose the roles, what we used to call services, that run on this server. Another feature for the server management is the security. As we had with Windows 2003 and Small Business Server, we have the Windows firewall, but there's more to it that we have available for us besides just the Windows firewall. We're going to see that you have the ability, if you want to do this, to be able to utilize a lot of different security features. Including the fact that you can say, hey, any client server communications has to be encrypted with IPsec. And with your group policies, you can push that out. We're also going to look at some of the ideas of the network authentication that we have to be able to make sure that if a client connects, that they are what we call healthy enough to be in our network. So there's a lot of great security features that are built in there. And then the scalability is going to be out there for you to be able to create large clusters of servers. In whatever aspect you can think of, Windows 2008 server is going to be able to meet your needs. That also includes some of the things like virtualization. And I haven't talked about it, but we'll see again. So when we say, what are the business requirements? And we talk about server management. Our goal is to say, hey, look, you can do this with the flexibility of the deployment, with the flexibility of the roles. You have lots of security options, new ones you never had before. And it can scale out over your enterprise. As far as the user experience, well, they're going to see the same consistent front end or connectivity that they're used to having with Windows. Now I realize as we focus and make people go from all of the different variations of Windows that sometimes the user interface may move a few things around, but for the most part, the look and feel is the same consistency of what they're expecting. We're going to see that users now have mobility, obviously, with Windows out there on all of our PDAs, on our cell phones, the blackberries and everything else that are out there. With that kind of mobility and the ability to still connect to the servers, we're going to be able to give them a lot of great user experiences and be able to keep them very productive. And of course, it's functional. It's not just something that you use to play videos or to play games. There's a lot of functionality in all of the different varieties of the workstation or the client side application of Windows. And then as I said with the operations, we're going to see eventually a recoup of all the costs for making this migration through what they call the total cost of ownership. As we saw when we went from Windows NT to Windows 2000, there was a big curve there for people to say, do I really want to make that change? And they kept saying it's TCO, TCO, total cost of ownership. And it proved to be true that moving to Windows 2000 gave us so much bang for the buck that it made it very easy to manage. It gave us features that made productivity go up for all of our employees and eventually the cost of making the migration was easily absorbed by all of the benefits that you have. You're going to see the same thing here that the cost of operations, especially with things like server consolidation, are going to be able to help you immediately recoup what it takes to be able to make this migration. And of course, the SLAs, if you have some service level agreements, we want to make sure that we follow those so that we can actually improve or meet the standards that we have to have for our organization.  But in the same aspect as the enterprise solution for our operating system, we are working with all the other employees who are technically our customers. And so we want to maintain a level of agreement or a level of operations for them. Now in the consolidation, a couple of things to look at with consolidation with server 2008, first of all in hardware. We can actually save on a lot of the costs of hardware because now, as we'll talk about in virtualization, I can run multiple servers on the same hardware platform where I used to need to have separate servers for every operation that I had. So we're going to see that we're going to see a benefit of cost. We're still going to have 64-bit support as well on the hardware. Now on the servers, of course, like I said, we have the consolidation capability. We can run more than one server, or what they now call role, on each of the 2008 servers. So in the past, where you may have kind of thought, you know, I'm going to run exchange on this box and that's all I'm going to run. I really don't want to see it running something else on the side. Now, through consolidation, and we're going to talk about some good compatibilities, you can run multiple roles on each of these servers. Again, that's going to cut down on the overhead of how many servers you have to buy, how many you have to have deployed. The virtualization is going to help consolidate the hardware, putting multiple servers on the same physical hardware platform. And all of that are going to be some of the things that we're going to talk about when it comes to consolidation. And of course, the business continuity, as I said, you all have virtual machines. We're also going to talk about that server core, the installation of Windows without the GUI. And we'll talk about the soft grid. So there's a lot of features here that are going to be able to, as we said, help you, I hope, save money by consolidating hardware, by consolidating roles onto one server where you may have had multiple servers and for business continuity, virtual machines, server core, lots of things that we have as features. Again, remember, this chapter was designed as an overview of what we're going to talk about in the future throughout this course. High availability. Well, of course, we always have hardware solutions for the high availability, and they can be hardware solutions that we might not even, as a point of view of the operating system, even known we're out there. But you still have RAID adapters, either redundant array of independent disks, or the redundant array of inexpensive disks, I've heard of both ways. But the goal here is to have multiple hard drives, presenting themselves as a volume in such a way that if anyone hard drive fails, if it's a good RAID adapter, I can pull that hard drive out, put a new one in, rebuild it without there ever being any downtime. With having Nick teaming to be able to, again, have more than one network interface card working together so that if one goes down, the other one's still up. And that way, again, we're maintaining our connectivity. We're keeping that service level agreement up. We're hitting those five nines, as we say, of uptime. So some of those options are there as well, and hot swappable hardware. Hot swappable meaning, again, I don't have to take the entire server offline to make a change for certain components, but I can literally make that change while the server's still running. So those are some of the things that we'll see hardware-wise that maintain high availability. And as far as the software is concerned, then, of course, we have fault-tolerant applications. And we'll also look at clustering. And more than the fault-tolerant applications, we're going to really focus on the clustering, what we call the failover cluster, so that I can have two or more servers running the same software acting as a virtual server for all of those clients out there. So in other words, I need something like a file server, and I can have two actual servers working together to be a single file server. If one of the two goes down, the other one takes over the job, and nobody knows that it's gone down. That's especially great for our web deployments, for the web services, where we don't want our business web applications to go down, or for many of our database services, where we need to have a constant access to our data. So those are things that we're going to look at when it comes to the high availability. The benefit of the 64-bit system, well, one of the things that we have with Windows 2008 is that it allows us to be able to utilize the newer hardware. So that means we have an increased and addressable memory so that we can improve how much memory is sitting on each of our servers. It supports a greater workload, obviously, than a 32-bit system. It also allows backward compatibility so that you can still run your 32-bit applications on the 64-bit system. But eventually, we hope all of these applications will be upgraded to that 64-bit architecture. So we have the application support software-wise. You may have issues with licensing, of course, as you do with any software, including with Windows itself. So we'll talk about that as we get into some of the licensing features. And of course, there is the challenge of upgrading. Sometimes during an upgrade or after the upgrade, and you're running a 64-bit system, as much as we would like to say, every application is going to run. There could be those applications that are unable to work in the 64-bit system. So sometimes there's going to be a challenge there, and that means a new cost of trying to get those applications upgraded and working and the compatibility. There could be some issues. So that's a part of overall of what we're going to look at when we talk about planning. But our biggest benefit is that we are using an operating system that is taking advantage of the 64-bit systems. And that's a good thing that we want to use as we move forward and continue to be able to get the best of the hardware to be able to get more memory and to be able to get a better workload through each of our servers. In the virtualization, we're going to talk about the Windows Server Virtualization, where I can literally have more than one Windows 2008 server running on the single server hardware platform. Now, it is only available in the 64-bit architecture. So again, we're going to be taking advantage of having the 64-bit architecture. But even better than that, we can take advantage of those beefier servers that we buy. For instance, you could have maybe a quad socket server where you have four processors and each of those processors being a quad core. And so suddenly I've got these 16 processors on this one hardware server. And if I wanted to, I could take each of those literal quad cores and make them a complete independent server. And with all the memory that you can put into one of these servers, I can partition off, you know, eight gigs for this server, eight gigs for this server, and so forth. And just as I just made it sound, have four very high-speed quad core servers running on the same hardware platform. And of course, you can mix it up from there. You might have dual cores, you might not have as many sockets, whatever the case is. The idea of virtualization is just simply to say that I want to have multiple servers on the same hardware platform. And of course, we have to deal with licensing. And we'll talk about how that goes into effect with virtualization when we get to that particular chapter. When we're talking about the deployment of Windows Server 2008, one of the questions you're gonna ask is, are there any compatibility issues? So we're going to answer that question by saying or assuming that there probably could be or probably will be. And so we're gonna go through a series of steps to help work through those potential compatibility issues by first of all, starting off and developing an application migration plan. Then we're gonna talk about developing a hardware upgrade plan, and then we'll talk about what issues might prevent you being able to deploy Windows Server 2008, issues that may be insurmountable and need to be addressed fully before you can even do the installation.


Hi, let's talk about headings. Think of headings on a page as working like headings for an outline. You have main headings and subheadings, which differ in size. For instance, the heading at the top of the page, right here, lesson two, reading assignment. The title is larger than subsequent headings. So in the ecosystem, title headings are styled as heading ones by design. The title of any page will show up as a heading one because heading ones are reserved for titles. And remember that heading two style is reserved for menu items for accessibility reasons. So the easy items here in the right hand menu are heading twos. I'm talking about items like this, lessons, navigation, user menu. Those are heading twos. Any headings you add to the page in the content like these will be heading threes or smaller. For instance, reading assignment here is a heading three and points to considerable reading, which is a subheading of reading assignment is a heading four. A subheading for heading four would be heading five and so on. When adding headings, please use the format button in the toolbar. Let's get to the toolbar. Click on the edit mode here in the black bar. Here's the toolbar. And we're going to add a heading five below points to consider down here. So I'm going to put my cursor down here where I want it and type a heading which shows up in plain text. I can then quickly change to heading five by going to the format button here and choosing heading five from the list. And that's pretty much it. One last thing, please do not bold these headings. Headings stand out by design. They don't need extra enhancement and bolding them will cause your designer or design assistant to have to go in and strip out that bold style. Alright, thanks for your time. Please contact your learning designer if you need assistance.
