and limitations before you.

6
00:05:33,589 --> 00:05:33,827
Through election, our citizens

7
00:05:33,827 --> 00:05:35,827
have

8
00:05:36,528 --> 00:05:36,728
conferred to these, the mantle

9
00:05:36,728 --> 00:05:37,600

00:05:52,243 --> 00:05:52,507
the tasks their positions

19
00:05:52,507 --> 00:05:53,144

prosperity of our city.

30
00:06:05,422 --> 00:06:08,422
The tasks before them are

31
00:06:09,492 --> 00:06:10,159
daunting,

32
00:06:10,159 --> 00:06:10,362
challenging, and far-reaching,

33
00:06:10,362 --> 00:06:11,270

34
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:11,229
they are not beyond your scope

35
00:06:11,229 --> 00:06:11,626
of

36
00:06:11,626 --> 00:06:12,294

38
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:14,864
perfect plan and we'll share it

39
00:06:14,864 --> 00:06:15,397
if

40
00:06:15,397 --> 00:06:16,340
we seek it in earnest.

41
00:06:16,340 --> 00:06:19,634
Lord, we would also ask your

42
00:06:23,241 --> 00:06:23,839
protection on those of the

43
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,700

Sorry about that.

160
00:09:58,805 --> 00:09:59,442
I know we passed this on first

161
00:09:59,442 --> 00:09:59,674
reading last week, but I was

162
00:09:59,674 --> 00:10:00,311
just

163
00:10:00,311 --> 00:10:00,511
kind of curious about -- and

164
00:10:00,511 --> 00:10:01,180
I'm

165
00:10:01,180 --> 00:10:03,914
going to support this but I did

166
00:10:03,914 --> 00:10:04,515
have a question and wanted some

167
00:10:04,515 --> 00:10:04,778
feedback during the budget

168
00:10:04,778 --> 00:10:06,581
cycle I

169
00:10:06,581 --> 00:10:06,882
had asked about within the

170
00:10:06,882 --> 00:10:08,882
business

171
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:10,719
plan for the police department

172
00:10:10,719 --> 00:10:11,386
and

173
00:10:11,386 --> 00:10:14,986
the manpower study, so I'm just

174
00:10:15,927 --> 00:10:16,124
kind of bringing that forward

175
00:10:16,124 --> 00:10:16,790
and

176
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:16,993
wondering what is the timeline

177
00:10:16,993 --> 00:10:18,993
or

178
00:10:19,393 --> 00:10:19,592
what's the status of that study

179
00:10:19,592 --> 00:10:20,261
and

180
00:10:20,261 --> 00:10:20,462
when will it be brought forward

181
00:10:20,462 --> 00:10:22,462
for

182
00:10:23,432 --> 00:10:23,795
consideration going into future

183
00:10:23,795 --> 00:10:25,597
budget years.

184
00:10:25,597 --> 00:10:25,833
I recognize that's what we did

185
00:10:25,833 --> 00:10:27,833
here

186
00:10:30,768 --> 00:10:31,406
today or what we are about to

187
00:10:31,406 --> 00:10:31,705
do is, as I see, part of the

188
00:10:31,705 --> 00:10:33,705
solution,

189
00:10:35,606 --> 00:10:35,845
but I want to look more long-

190
00:10:35,845 --> 00:10:36,445
term.

191
00:10:36,445 --> 00:10:37,108
For me it sounded like that

192
00:10:37,108 --> 00:10:38,680
manpower study was going to be

193
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:38,910
information that would help

194
00:10:38,910 --> 00:10:40,910
guide

195
00:10:41,113 --> 00:10:41,415
us in making the decisions

196
00:10:41,415 --> 00:10:43,415
later on.

197
00:10:46,185 --> 00:10:48,953
So I'm just asking that.

198
00:10:48,953 --> 00:10:49,152
>> this, actually, is probably

199
00:10:49,152 --> 00:10:51,152
the

200
00:10:51,692 --> 00:10:54,692
one that you're talking about

201
00:10:59,898 --> 00:11:00,565
probably a year and a half old.

202
00:11:00,565 --> 00:11:01,163
When troy was police chief, he

203
00:11:01,163 --> 00:11:01,432
commissioned a study of the

204
00:11:01,432 --> 00:11:02,670
entire

205
00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:02,265
department was probably three

206
00:11:02,265 --> 00:11:04,265
or

207
00:11:04,935 --> 00:11:05,603
four years ago.

208
00:11:05,603 --> 00:11:05,803
I came in and did a tuneup for

209
00:11:05,803 --> 00:11:07,803
his

210
00:11:12,477 --> 00:11:13,810
patrol only, and so the city

211
00:11:13,810 --> 00:11:16,810
manager would have to directly

212
00:11:17,150 --> 00:11:17,682
answer that.

213
00:11:17,682 --> 00:11:20,551
Whenever he wanted to come come

214
00:11:20,551 --> 00:11:24,354
forward is when from my view it

215
00:11:24,354 --> 00:11:25,220
will come forward.

216
00:11:25,220 --> 00:11:27,526
Just so you know when it comes

217
00:11:27,526 --> 00:11:27,758
forward, probably that's out of

218
00:11:27,758 --> 00:11:29,758
date.

219
00:11:31,961 --> 00:11:32,495
>> one was the tuneup done?

220
00:11:32,495 --> 00:11:33,131
It's already outdated.

221
00:11:33,131 --> 00:11:36,731
>> it's probably a year and a

222
00:11:37,566 --> 00:11:39,566
half

223
00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:40,836
old.

224
00:11:40,836 --> 00:11:41,140
>> I think this is a good

225
00:11:41,140 --> 00:11:42,471
question

226
00:11:42,471 --> 00:11:45,471
to ask at this point.

227
00:11:46,813 --> 00:11:47,730
In the ordinance the council

228
00:11:47,730 --> 00:11:49,730
passed

229
00:11:51,944 --> 00:11:53,948
a meeting or two ago, we put

230
00:11:53,948 --> 00:11:54,149
authorize numbers for police

231
00:11:54,149 --> 00:11:54,381
and

232
00:11:54,381 --> 00:11:55,190
fire.

233
00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:56,840
The authorized number for the

234
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,685
police department actually does

235
00:11:57,685 --> 00:12:00,685
line up with what you're

236
00:12:02,392 --> 00:12:02,659
talking

237
00:12:02,659 --> 00:12:03,264
about.

238
00:12:03,264 --> 00:12:05,459
The kind of ongoing concern

239
00:12:05,459 --> 00:12:07,459
that

240
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:10,329
I've had about staffing is more

241
00:12:10,329 --> 00:12:12,329
enterprise oriented.

242
00:12:14,670 --> 00:12:16,137
In other words, we have what I

243
00:12:16,137 --> 00:12:19,737
think is a credible study for

244
00:12:21,308 --> 00:12:22,910
manpower in the police

245
00:12:22,910 --> 00:12:23,545
department.

246
00:12:23,545 --> 00:12:23,746
We have a better idea I think

247
00:12:23,746 --> 00:12:25,746
in

248
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:27,151
the fire department than most

249
00:12:27,151 --> 00:12:27,816
other

250
00:12:27,816 --> 00:12:28,120
departments, but when you look

251
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,180
at

252
00:12:29,180 --> 00:12:29,414
the other 30 departments that

253
00:12:29,414 --> 00:12:31,414
exist

254
00:12:33,484 --> 00:12:33,720
in the study, I don't think we

255
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,720
have

256
00:12:37,958 --> 00:12:38,255
a good idea of what the

257
00:12:38,255 --> 00:12:38,859
manpower

258
00:12:38,859 --> 00:12:40,259
are for those requirements.

259
00:12:40,259 --> 00:12:44,130
So as we speak, I have efforts

260
00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:44,594
going on with my assistant city

261
00:12:44,594 --> 00:12:45,300
managers to make a

262
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:47,300
determination on

263
00:12:49,468 --> 00:12:50,404
that and then my intent to come

264
00:12:50,404 --> 00:12:50,601
back sometime after the first

265
00:12:50,601 --> 00:12:51,138
of

266
00:12:51,138 --> 00:12:51,470
the year and have that

267
00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:53,470
discussion

268
00:12:53,806 --> 00:12:57,406
with the council about what the

269
00:12:58,842 --> 00:13:01,242
enterprise requirements are for

270
00:13:02,379 --> 00:13:03,440
adequate and even ideal staff.

271
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:03,283
It's my full intent as we move

272
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:05,283
into

273
00:13:06,686 --> 00:13:06,984
the next budget cycle to

274
00:13:06,984 --> 00:13:07,553
recognize

275
00:13:07,553 --> 00:13:09,553
the staffing requirements

276
00:13:11,687 --> 00:13:13,870
across

277
00:13:13,870 --> 00:13:13,354
the enterprise so that the

278
00:13:13,354 --> 00:13:15,354
police

279
00:13:18,161 --> 00:13:20,197
department and every other

280
00:13:20,197 --> 00:13:22,197
department, their staffing

281
00:13:22,365 --> 00:13:22,634
requirements in order to

282
00:13:22,634 --> 00:13:24,634
achieve

283
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:25,333
their core mission is

284
00:13:25,333 --> 00:13:25,971
recognized

285
00:13:25,971 --> 00:13:29,205
and from there we can launch

286
00:13:29,205 --> 00:13:29,804
into a

287
00:13:29,804 --> 00:13:33,404
plan to start to meet those

288
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:36,748
enterprise requirements.

289
00:13:36,748 --> 00:13:37,379
I am concerned we focus on one

290
00:13:37,379 --> 00:13:39,683
department only and just talk

291
00:13:39,683 --> 00:13:40,348
about

292
00:13:40,348 --> 00:13:40,548
that because, as I said before,

293
00:13:40,548 --> 00:13:42,548
the

294
00:13:46,585 --> 00:13:46,891
city is an enterprise is a

295
00:13:46,891 --> 00:13:47,519
balanced

296
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:47,755
effort, and you need to make

297
00:13:47,755 --> 00:13:49,755
sure

298
00:13:50,158 --> 00:13:50,725
that the entire enterprise is

299
00:13:50,725 --> 00:13:51,250
balanced in terms of the

300
00:13:51,250 --> 00:13:52,395
services

301
00:13:52,395 --> 00:13:54,395
being provided.

302
00:13:55,950 --> 00:13:55,429
I intend to have that

303
00:13:55,429 --> 00:13:57,429
discussion.

304
00:13:59,166 --> 00:13:59,500
When I can answer the

305
00:13:59,500 --> 00:13:59,802
questions.

306
00:13:59,802 --> 00:14:01,802
>> okay.

307
00:14:01,936 --> 00:14:02,170
In the meantime, can I get a

308
00:14:02,170 --> 00:14:04,170
copy?

309
00:14:06,675 --> 00:14:06,974
>> I will provide it to the

310
00:14:06,974 --> 00:14:07,478
entirety.

311
00:14:07,478 --> 00:14:09,478
>> thank you, chief.

312
00:14:10,909 --> 00:14:12,909
Thank you, ron.

313
00:14:14,214 --> 00:14:14,414
>> what was also something that

314
00:14:14,414 --> 00:14:16,414
can

315
00:14:16,415 --> 00:14:16,582
be -- I can't tell you how much

316
00:14:16,582 --> 00:14:17,148
I

317
00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:19,148
appreciate your comments

318
00:14:20,719 --> 00:14:21,125
because it

319
00:14:21,125 --> 00:14:21,756
is a holistic.

320
00:14:21,756 --> 00:14:24,192
We are all interdependent in

321
00:14:24,192 --> 00:14:24,793
every

322
00:14:24,793 --> 00:14:25,550
city department and how we

323
00:14:25,550 --> 00:14:25,289
operate

324
00:14:25,289 --> 00:14:27,289
24/7.

325
00:14:29,980 --> 00:14:29,359
It's good to have the big

326
00:14:29,359 --> 00:14:30,280
picture

327
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,166
idea, but what I do like about

328
00:14:33,166 --> 00:14:33,834
the

329
00:14:33,834 --> 00:14:34,650
study is the original emphasis

330
00:14:34,650 --> 00:14:36,650
they

331
00:14:36,666 --> 00:14:39,568
had on community policing, and

332
00:14:39,568 --> 00:14:39,806
there were also best practices

333
00:14:39,806 --> 00:14:41,806
that

334
00:14:41,874 --> 00:14:44,874
are separate and apart from

335
00:14:47,977 --> 00:14:48,282
staffing that we always

336
00:14:48,282 --> 00:14:48,815
addressed

337
00:14:48,815 --> 00:14:49,115
today, but there's also

338
00:14:49,115 --> 00:14:49,783
economies

339
00:14:49,783 --> 00:14:50,882
of scale and efficiencies, and

340
00:14:50,882 --> 00:14:51,516
I

341
00:14:51,516 --> 00:14:52,284
know that chief riggs at the

342
00:14:52,284 --> 00:14:54,284
time

343
00:14:55,355 --> 00:14:55,786
also reorganized the department

344
00:14:55,786 --> 00:14:58,186
from some of the

345
00:14:59,657 --> 00:14:59,889
recommendations of

346
00:14:59,889 --> 00:15:00,526
low.

347
00:15:00,526 --> 00:15:04,326
I think maybe if we can get a

348
00:15:04,326 --> 00:15:04,594
timeline of at least at a

349
00:15:04,594 --> 00:15:06,594
minimum

350
00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:09,134
January to let us know and

351
00:15:09,134 --> 00:15:09,800
maybe

352
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,000
get a report from the chief as

353
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,501
far

354
00:15:11,501 --> 00:15:13,204
as some of the best practices,

355
00:15:13,204 --> 00:15:16,804
because I think those also help

356
00:15:16,872 --> 00:15:17,444
with some of the operational

357
00:15:17,444 --> 00:15:19,444
efficiencies that affect

358
00:15:20,343 --> 00:15:21,120
$-dollar-sign-dollar sign.

359
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,210
And those in the end will help

360
00:15:21,210 --> 00:15:23,210
us

361
00:15:31,187 --> 00:15:31,858
become educated in how we talk

362
00:15:31,858 --> 00:15:32,510
about -- you know, how we staff

363
00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:32,653
it.

364
00:15:32,653 --> 00:15:33,122
I think those go together.

365
00:15:33,122 --> 00:15:33,755
>> I think they do.

366
00:15:33,755 --> 00:15:37,355
I assure you will bring this

367
00:15:37,359 --> 00:15:37,824
forward as soon as we can

368
00:15:37,824 --> 00:15:38,460
reasonably do that.

369
00:15:38,460 --> 00:15:41,230
The police department has an

370
00:15:41,230 --> 00:15:41,495
advantage in a way because

371
00:15:41,495 --> 00:15:42,129
they've

372
00:15:42,129 --> 00:15:42,365
got revenue sources separate

373
00:15:42,365 --> 00:15:44,365
from

374
00:15:46,667 --> 00:15:46,867
the general fund that they can

375
00:15:46,867 --> 00:15:47,267
use

376
00:15:47,267 --> 00:15:49,267
for the study.

377
00:15:51,738 --> 00:15:51,940
I can't remember the cost of

378
00:15:51,940 --> 00:15:52,806
the

379
00:15:52,806 --> 00:15:53,405
study.

380
00:15:53,405 --> 00:15:53,673
Somewhere between 50 and a

381
00:15:53,673 --> 00:15:53,976
hundred

382
00:15:53,976 --> 00:15:54,243
thousand.

383
00:15:54,243 --> 00:15:54,906
>> yes.

384
00:15:54,906 --> 00:15:56,443
So the tuneup study that I can

385
00:15:56,443 --> 00:16:00,430
speak to that I did was 25,000.

386
00:16:07,820 --> 00:16:08,485
I want to say thanks to the

387
00:16:08,485 --> 00:16:08,690
community because they pay for

388
00:16:08,690 --> 00:16:09,357
it.

389
00:16:09,357 --> 00:16:09,553
The public tax dollars did not

390
00:16:09,553 --> 00:16:09,956
go

391
00:16:09,956 --> 00:16:10,625
for that study.

392
00:16:10,625 --> 00:16:10,857
It was through our confiscated

393
00:16:10,857 --> 00:16:11,123
drug

394
00:16:11,123 --> 00:16:11,790
funds.

395
00:16:11,790 --> 00:16:12,230
If I can say one other thing,

396
00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:14,230
I'm a

397
00:16:14,459 --> 00:16:16,459
team member.

398
00:16:17,193 --> 00:16:17,527
Nobody recognizes the

399
00:16:17,527 --> 00:16:19,527
enterprise

400
00:16:21,660 --> 00:16:21,300
other than probably ron and

401
00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:21,669
susan

402
00:16:21,669 --> 00:16:22,300
and you guys.

403
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:22,502
We fully know where we sit in

404
00:16:22,502 --> 00:16:24,502
in

405
00:16:29,474 --> 00:16:30,110
the grand scheme of things.

406
00:16:30,110 --> 00:16:30,677
I'm the police chief, so I'll

407
00:16:30,677 --> 00:16:30,978
always advocate for more

408
00:16:30,978 --> 00:16:32,245
resources

409
00:16:32,245 --> 00:16:32,476
for my department, and I don't

410
00:16:32,476 --> 00:16:34,476
want

411
00:16:40,287 --> 00:16:40,484
to put anybody in any position

412
00:16:40,484 --> 00:16:40,888
of

413
00:16:40,888 --> 00:16:41,487
undue pressure.

414
00:16:41,487 --> 00:16:41,719
So I'm trying to walk that

415
00:16:41,719 --> 00:16:42,322
line.

416
00:16:42,322 --> 00:16:45,322
Yes, mayor, there have been

417
00:16:45,655 --> 00:16:46,290
some

418
00:16:46,290 --> 00:16:46,956
efficiencies gained that troy

419
00:16:46,956 --> 00:16:47,624
instituted, and I also probably

420
00:16:47,624 --> 00:16:50,624
give up some political capital

421
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:52,960
from

422
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,232
my standpoint on doing some

423
00:16:53,232 --> 00:16:53,895
things

424
00:16:53,895 --> 00:16:54,531
a bit different like the minor

425
00:16:54,531 --> 00:16:55,165
accidents, not responding to

426
00:16:55,165 --> 00:16:55,401
certain calls, all the things

427
00:16:55,401 --> 00:16:56,000
that

428
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,335
we've been talking about.

429
00:16:57,335 --> 00:16:57,531
The final piece is we're going

430
00:16:57,531 --> 00:16:59,531
to

431
00:17:01,371 --> 00:17:01,608
be coming forward with I think

432
00:17:01,608 --> 00:17:03,608
some

433
00:17:05,508 --> 00:17:06,177
wonderful things in the area of

434
00:17:06,177 --> 00:17:06,379
technology that is multiplying

435
00:17:06,379 --> 00:17:07,800
our

436
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:07,679
police force, and I promised

437
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:09,679
the

438
00:17:12,783 --> 00:17:13,140
city manager and I promised

439
00:17:13,140 --> 00:17:13,680
this

440
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:13,848
body that I would do everything

441
00:17:13,848 --> 00:17:15,848
I

442
00:17:20,391 --> 00:17:21,188
can to squeeze everything out of

443
00:17:21,188 --> 00:17:21,592
before I came to you asking for

444
00:17:21,592 --> 00:17:23,592
anything more.

445
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,692
I think we probably at that

446
00:17:34,566 --> 00:17:35,107
point.

447
00:17:35,107 --> 00:17:35,403
I'd hate to be in your

448
00:17:35,403 --> 00:17:36,670
position.

449
00:17:36,670 --> 00:17:36,703
The things that keep you up at

450
00:17:36,703 --> 00:17:36,904
night are probably multiplied

451
00:17:36,904 --> 00:17:37,537
by

452
00:17:37,537 --> 00:17:38,170
what you guys have to do with

453
00:17:38,170 --> 00:17:38,705
streets and water and all of

454
00:17:38,705 --> 00:17:38,973
those

455
00:17:38,973 --> 00:17:39,606
things.

456
00:17:39,606 --> 00:17:39,807
I'm trying to be very careful

457
00:17:39,807 --> 00:17:41,807
by

458
00:17:43,842 --> 00:17:44,145
not putting people in a

459
00:17:44,145 --> 00:17:46,145
position

460
00:17:47,514 --> 00:17:48,150
that I'm pushing to get more

461
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:48,350
staffing, but I am pushing to

462
00:17:48,350 --> 00:17:48,748
get

463
00:17:48,748 --> 00:17:50,748
more staffing.

464
00:17:51,386 --> 00:17:55,586
I just don't want to create any

465
00:18:23,616 --> 00:18:24,281
undue pressure on anybody.

466
00:18:24,281 --> 00:18:24,482
>> that the conversation I want

467
00:18:24,482 --> 00:18:26,482
to

468
00:18:29,453 --> 00:18:30,510
have as a backup plan.

469
00:18:30,510 --> 00:18:30,718
Got further that the past.

470
00:18:30,718 --> 00:18:30,922
I think we need to be prepared

471
00:18:30,922 --> 00:18:32,922
for

472
00:18:34,523 --> 00:18:35,192
that, worst-case scenario.

473
00:18:35,192 --> 00:18:35,526
I don't want to be caught in a

474
00:18:35,526 --> 00:18:37,526
situation.

475
00:18:39,698 --> 00:18:41,664
That's a separate conversation.

476
00:18:41,664 --> 00:18:43,834
>> we try to keep a balance of

477
00:18:43,834 --> 00:18:46,834
about 2 million for that very

478
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:47,574
reason, and so we try to -- we

479
00:18:47,574 --> 00:18:49,739
think about that as we go

480
00:18:49,739 --> 00:18:50,338
through

481
00:18:50,338 --> 00:18:53,938
our spending so that in the

482
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:54,644
event

483
00:18:54,644 --> 00:18:54,875
something happens, it buys us

484
00:18:54,875 --> 00:18:56,875
time

485
00:18:57,479 --> 00:18:58,780
to create a plan so that we can

486
00:18:58,780 --> 00:18:58,347
continue with the staffing

487
00:18:58,347 --> 00:19:00,347
levels

488
00:19:03,687 --> 00:19:04,220
that we already have.

489
00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:04,523
>> and I appreciate you

490
00:19:04,523 --> 00:19:05,186
publicly

491
00:19:05,186 --> 00:19:05,386
acknowledging the importance of

492
00:19:05,386 --> 00:19:06,560
the

493
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,257
bigger picture, because we all

494
00:19:08,257 --> 00:19:08,893
have

495
00:19:08,893 --> 00:19:09,122
our needs, and God knows this

496
00:19:09,122 --> 00:19:09,758
is a

497
00:19:09,758 --> 00:19:12,758
good decision today, but also

498
00:19:12,829 --> 00:19:13,394
working directly with our city

499
00:19:13,394 --> 00:19:13,696
manager as we go through

500
00:19:13,696 --> 00:19:15,696
budgeting

501
00:19:16,266 --> 00:19:16,497
process, that is an important

502
00:19:16,497 --> 00:19:18,497
key.

503
00:19:21,469 --> 00:19:22,300
>> let me add one other

504
00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:22,636
thought.

505
00:19:22,636 --> 00:19:22,905
Part of what I was trying to

506
00:19:22,905 --> 00:19:23,505
say in

507
00:19:23,505 --> 00:19:27,105
terms of cost is the police

508
00:19:27,508 --> 00:19:27,706
department has the ability to

509
00:19:27,706 --> 00:19:28,340
pay

510
00:19:28,340 --> 00:19:28,578
initially about $100,000 for

511
00:19:28,578 --> 00:19:28,841
this

512
00:19:28,841 --> 00:19:29,743
study.

513
00:19:29,743 --> 00:19:33,343
But when you look at the

514
00:19:33,614 --> 00:19:33,881
enterprise, you know, the

515
00:19:33,881 --> 00:19:35,881
police

516
00:19:39,354 --> 00:19:39,550
department is 500 employees out

517
00:19:39,550 --> 00:19:39,785
of

518
00:19:39,785 --> 00:19:40,387
3000.

519
00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:40,618
So the general fund doesn't

520
00:19:40,618 --> 00:19:42,618
have

521
00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:45,550
the luxury at this point to put

522
00:19:45,550 --> 00:19:45,624
in

523
00:19:45,624 --> 00:19:45,994
300, $400, $400,000 for a

524
00:19:45,994 --> 00:19:47,994
similar study

525
00:19:52,990 --> 00:19:52,430
to look at the balance of the

526
00:19:52,430 --> 00:19:53,100
enterprise.

527
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:53,264
So we'll be doing that in-

528
00:19:53,264 --> 00:19:53,902
house.

529
00:19:53,902 --> 00:19:54,533
We'll be doing it ourselves.

530
00:19:54,533 --> 00:19:54,798
Probably going to take a bit

531
00:19:54,798 --> 00:19:56,798
longer

532
00:19:58,471 --> 00:20:00,871
to get it done.

533
00:20:01,808 --> 00:20:03,908
I think it's important.

534
00:20:03,908 --> 00:20:07,508
I know the methodology that was

535
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800
used on the police manpower

536
00:20:23,163 --> 00:20:23,761
started.

537
00:20:23,761 --> 00:20:24,427
I'd like to have something

538
00:20:24,427 --> 00:20:25,960
similarly reliable when we talk

539
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,632
about staffing for the rest of

540
00:20:28,632 --> 00:20:30,632
the

541
00:20:34,706 --> 00:20:35,304
enterprise.

542
00:20:35,304 --> 00:20:35,538
We'll get it back to you as

543
00:20:35,538 --> 00:20:37,538
soon

544
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,609
after the first of the year.

545
00:20:47,140 --> 00:20:47,616
>> just wanted to add.

546
00:20:47,616 --> 00:20:50,160
The solution study was 161

547
00:20:52,187 --> 00:20:53,123
pages

548
00:20:53,123 --> 00:20:53,390
across $90,000, forfeiture

549
00:20:53,390 --> 00:20:54,240
funds.

550
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:54,221
The two big things that I got

551
00:20:54,221 --> 00:20:56,221
out

552
00:20:58,629 --> 00:20:58,827
of it was the need in metro,

553
00:20:58,827 --> 00:20:59,493
and

554
00:20:59,493 --> 00:21:02,899
also the goal, which I've heard

555
00:21:02,899 --> 00:21:03,130
through your efforts over the

556
00:21:03,130 --> 00:21:03,667
last

557
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:03,964
four years is to get to

558
00:21:03,964 --> 00:21:05,964
proactive

559
00:21:08,330 --> 00:21:08,269
policing and the numbers that

560
00:21:08,269 --> 00:21:08,902
were

561
00:21:08,902 --> 00:21:09,569
needed to get from -- I think

562
00:21:09,569 --> 00:21:09,770
you're at about 43 minutes out

563
00:21:09,770 --> 00:21:11,507
of

564
00:21:11,507 --> 00:21:14,507
60 in terms of reactive and 17

565
00:21:16,574 --> 00:21:20,174
minutes in proactive to get to

566
00:21:30,623 --> 00:21:31,291
30.

567
00:21:31,291 --> 00:21:31,493
>> the ideal spot is 30 minutes

568
00:21:31,493 --> 00:21:33,493
of

569
00:21:35,962 --> 00:21:38,362
proactive neighbor patrols not

570
00:21:39,563 --> 00:21:40,234
find

571
00:21:40,234 --> 00:21:40,700
two calls versus 30 minutes of

572
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:41,266
responding to call.

573
00:21:41,266 --> 00:21:41,932
Rhonda is exactly right.

574
00:21:41,932 --> 00:21:42,567
I really like the methodology.

575
00:21:42,567 --> 00:21:43,537
A lot of people throw out the

576
00:21:43,537 --> 00:21:45,537
offer

577
00:21:49,175 --> 00:21:49,808
choose for proposition.

578
00:21:49,808 --> 00:21:50,440
That's not my preferred way.

579
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:50,677
My preferred way is workload,

580
00:21:50,677 --> 00:21:52,677
which

581
00:21:55,815 --> 00:21:56,460
is what the study were load

582
00:21:56,460 --> 00:21:56,715
uses.

583
00:21:56,715 --> 00:21:57,314
What's defined as travel time,

584
00:21:57,314 --> 00:21:57,619
examining the time that it

585
00:21:57,619 --> 00:21:59,619
takes to

586
00:22:00,151 --> 00:22:00,417
do certain offenses or make

587
00:22:00,417 --> 00:22:01,210
arrest,

588
00:22:01,210 --> 00:22:01,318
the time it takes to go to

589
00:22:01,318 --> 00:22:03,210
briefing

590
00:22:03,210 --> 00:22:06,880
and all of those things that

591
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,389
officers do day in and day out.

592
00:22:08,389 --> 00:22:08,657
So that's what the study is

593
00:22:08,657 --> 00:22:10,657
about.

594
00:22:13,561 --> 00:22:18,199
I agree with it was a very good

595
00:22:18,199 --> 00:22:18,432
study to undertake and it was

596
00:22:18,432 --> 00:22:19,990
very

597
00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:19,400
revealing from my perspective.

598
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:19,833
>> great.

599
00:22:19,833 --> 00:22:21,702
And that's where

600
00:22:21,702 --> 00:22:22,336
decentralization

601
00:22:22,336 --> 00:22:22,836
came in and deficiencies and

602
00:22:22,836 --> 00:22:24,836
multiplying efforts.

603
00:22:27,675 --> 00:22:27,841
I think you're working the plan

604
00:22:27,841 --> 00:22:28,408
,

605
00:22:28,408 --> 00:22:28,675
but I look forward to an

606
00:22:28,675 --> 00:22:29,314
updated

607
00:22:29,314 --> 00:22:29,509
study and understanding where

608
00:22:29,509 --> 00:22:31,509
we

609
00:22:33,115 --> 00:22:35,786
are today and how we continue.

610
00:22:35,786 --> 00:22:36,352
Hopefully, one day be more

611
00:22:36,352 --> 00:22:36,986
proactive than reactive.

612
00:22:36,986 --> 00:22:39,752
I know you're doing the best

613
00:22:39,752 --> 00:22:39,986
you

614
00:22:39,986 --> 00:22:40,355
can.

615
00:22:40,355 --> 00:22:40,888
>> thank you.

616
00:22:40,888 --> 00:22:44,488
>> if you want to get a

617
00:22:44,523 --> 00:22:46,523
snapshot of

618
00:22:46,793 --> 00:22:46,994
that study, I know it's toward

619
00:22:46,994 --> 00:22:47,226
the

620
00:22:47,226 --> 00:22:49,226
end.

621
00:22:52,465 --> 00:22:54,865
You can google it.

622
00:22:55,535 --> 00:22:55,767
It gives you an overview and

623
00:22:55,767 --> 00:22:57,767
talks

624
00:23:00,805 --> 00:23:03,341
about the emphasis on metro

625
00:23:03,341 --> 00:23:03,942
calm.

626
00:23:03,942 --> 00:23:04,208
Just for the benefit of the

627
00:23:04,208 --> 00:23:06,208
public,

628
00:23:17,254 --> 00:23:17,554
can you help me spell it?

629
00:23:17,554 --> 00:23:19,554
>> etico

630
00:23:27,931 --> 00:23:28,531
>> etico.

631
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:28,765
>> that way they can have a

632
00:23:28,765 --> 00:23:29,432
sense

633
00:23:29,432 --> 00:23:29,666
of what we're talking about if

634
00:23:29,666 --> 00:23:29,999
they

635
00:23:29,999 --> 00:23:30,602
google it.

636
00:23:30,602 --> 00:23:30,867
It's a good day for corpus

637
00:23:30,867 --> 00:23:31,335
christi

638
00:23:31,335 --> 00:23:31,968
and public safety.

639
00:23:31,968 --> 00:23:34,968
Is there any other questions,

640
00:23:35,973 --> 00:23:36,641
Ms. Mcintyre?

641
00:23:36,641 --> 00:23:36,840
>> that which we can google is

642
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,441
the

643
00:23:37,441 --> 00:23:37,673
one that was three and half

644
00:23:37,673 --> 00:23:37,909
years

645
00:23:37,909 --> 00:23:38,242
old.

646
00:23:38,242 --> 00:23:38,841
>> correct.

647
00:23:38,841 --> 00:23:39,108
It was also carried on our

648
00:23:39,108 --> 00:23:40,910
website

649
00:23:40,910 --> 00:23:41,110
for quite some time, but the

650
00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:43,110
new

651
00:23:46,214 --> 00:23:49,214
one since has not been

652
00:23:51,755 --> 00:23:52,321
revealed.

653
00:23:52,321 --> 00:23:52,922
That was not available.

654
00:23:52,922 --> 00:23:53,555
>> that really is about are

655
00:23:53,555 --> 00:23:53,755
directed patrol officers and

656
00:23:53,755 --> 00:23:54,880
not

657
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:54,356
the entity.

658
00:23:54,356 --> 00:23:54,856
>> yes.

659
00:23:54,856 --> 00:23:55,224
Now, the one that I

660
00:23:55,224 --> 00:23:56,594
commissioned

661
00:23:56,594 --> 00:23:56,894
kind of as a tuneup to the

662
00:23:56,894 --> 00:23:58,894
original

663
00:24:04,837 --> 00:24:06,404
looked at patrol.

664
00:24:06,404 --> 00:24:08,804
>> and one last question.

665
00:24:15,945 --> 00:24:16,249
When you talk about the

666
00:24:16,249 --> 00:24:16,879
workload

667
00:24:16,879 --> 00:24:17,114
and things like that, does it

668
00:24:17,114 --> 00:24:17,777
also

669
00:24:17,777 --> 00:24:18,381
take into consideration -- what

670
00:24:18,381 --> 00:24:18,647
I've heard several times is

671
00:24:18,647 --> 00:24:19,281
whether

672
00:24:19,281 --> 00:24:19,682
people are on sick leave for

673
00:24:19,682 --> 00:24:21,682
vacation time.

674
00:24:24,653 --> 00:24:24,884
So does take into account all

675
00:24:24,884 --> 00:24:25,786
those

676
00:24:25,786 --> 00:24:26,455
available to be hands on deck.

677
00:24:26,455 --> 00:24:28,522
>> as a general rule, if I have

678
00:24:28,522 --> 00:24:28,789
nine officers assigned to a

679
00:24:28,789 --> 00:24:30,789
shift,

680
00:24:33,494 --> 00:24:34,128
seven we'll show up.

681
00:24:34,128 --> 00:24:34,331
And so the number that we use

682
00:24:34,331 --> 00:24:36,331
is

683
00:24:37,667 --> 00:24:37,865
that seven number when it comes

684
00:24:37,865 --> 00:24:38,200
to

685
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,867
deployment.

686
00:24:38,867 --> 00:24:40,367
It's quite interesting, because

687
00:24:40,367 --> 00:24:42,767
without fail that happens.

688
00:24:43,604 --> 00:24:43,873
So we have minimal staffing

689
00:24:43,873 --> 00:24:44,536
level,

690
00:24:44,536 --> 00:24:46,209
which not only for our officers

691
00:24:46,209 --> 00:24:46,538
but

692
00:24:46,538 --> 00:24:48,538
our chief.

693
00:24:50,780 --> 00:24:51,130
If I have three chiefs we all

694
00:24:51,130 --> 00:24:53,130
can't

695
00:24:53,114 --> 00:24:56,714
take off at the same time.

696
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:57,122
And so that's what the minimum

697
00:24:57,122 --> 00:24:59,122
staffing is.

698
00:25:03,256 --> 00:25:06,856
The study is based on minimum.

699
00:25:08,493 --> 00:25:08,731
>> let's vote on it for right

700
00:25:08,731 --> 00:25:10,731
now.

701
00:25:12,829 --> 00:25:13,310
>> for passage of item number

702
00:25:13,310 --> 00:25:13,664
8.

703
00:25:13,664 --> 00:25:15,837
On second reading, ordinance

704
00:25:15,837 --> 00:25:18,237
number 8 on 2nd reading.

705
00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:34,787
[Roll call] Item number 8

706
00:25:34,787 --> 00:25:35,324
passes.

707
00:25:35,324 --> 00:25:35,889
>> thank you very much.

708
00:25:35,889 --> 00:25:36,554
And the balance of them?

709
00:25:36,554 --> 00:25:37,223
>> the balance of the items for

710
00:25:37,223 --> 00:25:37,422
passage of items three through

711
00:25:37,422 --> 00:25:38,210
13

712
00:25:38,210 --> 00:25:38,291
but the exception of item

713
00:25:38,291 --> 00:25:39,692
eight.

714
00:25:39,692 --> 00:25:41,692
Mayor martinez?

715
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:49,335
[Roll call] The consent

718
00:25:51,701 --> 00:25:53,701
>> thank you.

719
00:25:59,943 --> 00:26:00,378
Regular agenda item.

720
00:26:00,378 --> 00:26:01,130
>> good morning.

721
00:26:01,130 --> 00:26:03,460
For the record, director of

722
00:26:03,460 --> 00:26:03,413
government relations.

723
00:26:03,413 --> 00:26:05,413
Last week --

724
00:26:07,116 --> 00:26:07,516
>> I'm sorry, tom.

725
00:26:07,516 --> 00:26:09,516
An event that?

726
00:26:15,393 --> 00:26:15,957
>> sorry.

727
00:26:15,957 --> 00:26:16,223
>> last week we presented

728
00:26:16,223 --> 00:26:16,858
several

729
00:26:16,858 --> 00:26:17,570
items for your consideration

730
00:26:17,570 --> 00:26:17,593
and

00:26:18,793 --> 00:26:19,260
session that begins January

734
00:26:19,260 --> 00:26:19,261
13th

735
00:26:19,261 --> 00:26:21,261
2015.

736
00:26:23,980 --> 00:26:23,732
You have on your desk a revised

737
00:26:23,732 --> 00:26:23,932
resolution incorporating some

738
00:26:23,932 --> 00:26:25,932
of

739
00:26:26,469 --> 00:26:28,869
the changes we discussed.

740
00:26:31,439 --> 00:26:32,709
If you approve the amended

741
00:26:32,709 --> 00:26:33,310
resolution today, the city's

742
00:26:33,310 --> 00:26:33,543
priority legislative agenda

743
00:26:33,543 --> 00:26:34,175
will

744
00:26:34,175 --> 00:26:36,470
include nine items, including

745
00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:36,644
two

746
00:26:36,644 --> 00:26:36,877
appropriation requests and

747
00:26:36,877 --> 00:26:37,378
seven

748
00:26:37,378 --> 00:26:39,378
statutory provisions.

749
00:26:52,162 --> 00:26:52,393
Those are items that we will

750
00:26:52,393 --> 00:26:53,600
have

751
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:53,696
drafted into stand-alone bills.

752
00:26:53,696 --> 00:26:53,924
We actively support category,

753
00:26:53,924 --> 00:26:54,594
which

754
00:26:54,594 --> 00:26:55,159
are not items that we will have

755
00:26:55,159 --> 00:26:55,799
drafted include 10 items.

756
00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:55,994
The staff initiated proposals

757
00:26:55,994 --> 00:26:56,595
on

758
00:26:56,595 --> 00:26:56,864
administrative approval of

759
00:26:56,864 --> 00:26:58,864
change

760
00:26:59,866 --> 00:27:00,100
orders and limits on design

761
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:01,234
build

762
00:27:01,234 --> 00:27:01,466
projects have been moved to

763
00:27:01,466 --> 00:27:01,769
this

764
00:27:01,769 --> 00:27:02,401
category.

765
00:27:02,401 --> 00:27:02,635
The changes would be nice to

766
00:27:02,635 --> 00:27:03,235
have

767
00:27:03,235 --> 00:27:06,235
but they're not the city's

768
00:27:06,771 --> 00:27:08,771
highest

769
00:27:10,242 --> 00:27:10,843
priority.

770
00:27:10,843 --> 00:27:11,210
I've wordsmith the item on

771
00:27:11,210 --> 00:27:11,844
transparency.

772
00:27:11,844 --> 00:27:12,780
Also added was a marine jobs

the city supported two years

775
00:27:12,944 --> 00:27:14,944
ago.

776
00:27:18,247 --> 00:27:18,820
The goal is to encourage large

778
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:19,786
states or

779
00:27:19,786 --> 00:27:19,983
foreign countries to come back

780
00:27:19,983 --> 00:27:21,454

782
00:27:21,751 --> 00:27:23,751

783
00:27:28,959 --> 00:27:29,626
Under the endorse category, it

784
00:27:29,626 --> 00:27:29,826
includes the language preferred

785
00:27:29,826 --> 00:27:30,428

992
00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:06,233
you passed last week does not

993
00:34:06,233 --> 00:34:08,233
put

994
00:34:14,208 --> 00:34:14,774
any limits on the fund.

995
00:34:14,774 --> 00:34:15,107
Thirdly, passage of that

996
00:34:15,107 --> 00:34:15,572
resolution

997
00:34:15,572 --> 00:34:17,972
was an illegal act.

998
00:34:19,649 --> 00:34:20,278
It was not red or listed.

999
00:34:20,278 --> 00:34:20,479
Its content was not listed in

1000
00:34:20,479 --> 00:34:21,150
the

1001
00:34:21,150 --> 00:34:21,347
meeting on the 14th, nor was it

1002
00:34:21,347 --> 00:34:23,347
was

1003
00:34:25,819 --> 00:34:26,870
the last week in a written

1004
00:34:26,870 --> 00:34:26,751
agenda

1005
00:34:26,751 --> 00:34:27,419
here available at the council.

1006
00:34:27,419 --> 00:34:31,619
So the public had no ability to

1007
00:34:34,580 --> 00:34:34,726
respond to it.

1008
00:34:34,726 --> 00:34:34,925
That violates open meetings act

1009
00:34:34,925 --> 00:34:35,528
and

1010
00:34:35,528 --> 00:34:36,600
is an illegal act and we'll

1011
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:37,762
consequently need to be

1012
00:34:37,762 --> 00:34:38,640
repassed, I

1013
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:38,732
believe.

1014
00:34:38,732 --> 00:34:39,364
Thirdly, you've entered into a

1015
00:34:39,364 --> 00:34:42,964
legal battle, which I do not

1016
00:34:43,232 --> 00:34:43,899
believe you can win.

1017
00:34:43,899 --> 00:34:44,101
It is undoubtedly the fact that

1018
00:34:44,101 --> 00:34:45,870
the

1019
00:34:45,870 --> 00:34:46,539
wind farm the land owners will

1020
00:34:46,539 --> 00:34:46,737
likely sue you over land rights

1021
00:34:46,737 --> 00:34:48,737
in

1022
00:34:54,145 --> 00:34:54,813
the federal decision.

1023
00:34:54,813 --> 00:34:55,450
The supreme court clearly said

1024
00:34:55,450 --> 00:34:57,450
that

1025
00:34:58,180 --> 00:35:01,180
you cannot take an economic

1026
00:35:02,684 --> 00:35:02,984
advantage of one and give it to

1027
00:35:02,984 --> 00:35:03,619
another.

1028
00:35:03,619 --> 00:35:03,820
That was a condemnation case,

1029
00:35:03,820 --> 00:35:05,820
but

1030
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,460
the same principle applies

1031
00:35:11,590 --> 00:35:11,726
here.

1032
00:35:11,726 --> 00:35:11,931
Also, what one would need to do

1033
00:35:11,931 --> 00:35:12,525
as

1034
00:35:12,525 --> 00:35:12,829
an attorney is present the

1035
00:35:12,829 --> 00:35:13,494
previous

1036
00:35:13,494 --> 00:35:13,696
council meetings where did you

1037
00:35:13,696 --> 00:35:14,628
say

1038
00:35:14,628 --> 00:35:18,828
that your intent is to stop the

1039
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:20,206
wind farm to give the advantage

1040
00:35:20,206 --> 00:35:20,835
to

1041
00:35:20,835 --> 00:35:21,302
developers.

1042
00:35:21,302 --> 00:35:21,969
That's all I have.

1043
00:35:21,969 --> 00:35:22,570
I think you've entered a very

1044
00:35:22,570 --> 00:35:22,839
perilous task, and I think

1045
00:35:22,839 --> 00:35:23,436
you've

1046
00:35:23,436 --> 00:35:24,971
made a huge mistake for the

1047
00:35:24,971 --> 00:35:25,605
citizens of corpus christi and

1048
00:35:25,605 --> 00:35:28,500
further annexation will only

1049
00:35:29,443 --> 00:35:30,760
compound that mistake.

1050
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:30,276
We are planning to oppose you

1051
00:35:30,276 --> 00:35:30,575
for

1052
00:35:30,575 --> 00:35:30,909
doing so.

1053
00:35:30,909 --> 00:35:32,350
Thank you.

1054
00:35:32,350 --> 00:35:34,750
>> thank you, Mr. Kelly.

1055
00:35:36,683 --> 00:35:36,886
Would you like to get with him

1056
00:35:36,886 --> 00:35:38,886
to

1057
00:35:41,790 --> 00:35:44,190
address the comment about

1058
00:35:44,222 --> 00:35:44,890
legality?

1059
00:35:44,890 --> 00:35:45,920
>> the item was posted as item

1060
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,920
11

1061
00:35:55,535 --> 00:35:55,834
on the agenda.

1062
00:35:55,834 --> 00:35:57,834
>> okay.

1063
00:36:04,677 --> 00:36:05,460
In lieu of -- is there anyone

1064
00:36:05,460 --> 00:36:05,678
else?

1065
00:36:05,678 --> 00:36:08,511
At the appropriate time, you

1066
00:36:08,511 --> 00:36:08,849
can

1067
00:36:08,849 --> 00:36:10,849
address the

1068
00:36:13,785 --> 00:36:16,785
>> that Mr. Kelly has brought

1069
00:36:33,241 --> 00:36:33,839
forward.

1070
00:36:33,839 --> 00:36:34,438
>> you May want to turn off

1071
00:36:34,438 --> 00:36:34,738
microphone so we don't have

1072
00:36:34,738 --> 00:36:36,738
feedback.

1073
00:36:38,107 --> 00:36:38,711
>> thank you so much.

1074
00:36:38,711 --> 00:36:41,711
I don't know whether these

1075
00:36:47,250 --> 00:36:47,851
allegations are true or not but

1076
00:36:47,851 --> 00:36:48,183
it's sad when people can't

1077
00:36:48,183 --> 00:36:48,784
acceptable.

1078
00:36:48,784 --> 00:36:49,530
We've been accused so many

1079
00:36:49,530 --> 00:36:51,530
things

1080
00:36:56,660 --> 00:36:57,293
that we don't know what it is.

1081
00:36:57,293 --> 00:36:57,529
The interest today is not so

1082
00:36:57,529 --> 00:36:57,993
much

1083
00:36:57,993 --> 00:36:58,629
in the developers.

1084
00:36:58,629 --> 00:36:58,862
Each is devoted because they

1085
00:36:58,862 --> 00:36:59,895
were

1086
00:36:59,895 --> 00:37:00,960
concerned for the whole city,

1087
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,960
the

1088
00:37:05,502 --> 00:37:06,167
safety of the whole city.

1089
00:37:06,167 --> 00:37:06,367
If it has a negative impact on

1090
00:37:06,367 --> 00:37:06,970
one

1091
00:37:06,970 --> 00:37:07,269
part of the city, it has a

1092
00:37:07,269 --> 00:37:07,905
negative

1093
00:37:07,905 --> 00:37:08,339
impact on the other parts of

1094
00:37:08,339 --> 00:37:08,569
the

1095
00:37:08,569 --> 00:37:09,136
city.

1096
00:37:09,136 --> 00:37:10,639
I know you're going to be

1097
00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:12,639
threatened by this.

1098
00:37:14,976 --> 00:37:15,211
I don't know how much others

1099
00:37:15,211 --> 00:37:15,842
are.

1100
00:37:15,842 --> 00:37:16,430
I wish people would deal with

1101
00:37:16,430 --> 00:37:16,313
the

1102
00:37:16,313 --> 00:37:18,313
issues.

1103
00:37:20,180 --> 00:37:20,814
I wish that the public will see

1104
00:37:20,814 --> 00:37:21,470
those people that continue to

1105
00:37:21,470 --> 00:37:21,649
come

1106
00:37:21,649 --> 00:37:23,552
before you and attack your

1107
00:37:23,552 --> 00:37:25,552
character and credibility.

1108
00:37:26,791 --> 00:37:27,210
I would like for you to raise

1109
00:37:27,210 --> 00:37:27,287
your

1110
00:37:27,287 --> 00:37:29,287
hands.

1111
00:37:30,890 --> 00:37:30,326
Tell me which one of you came

1112
00:37:30,326 --> 00:37:32,326
today

1113
00:37:35,229 --> 00:37:35,428
to say, I'm going to do what I

1114
00:37:35,428 --> 00:37:36,630
can

1115
00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:36,663
not to serve the city well?

1116
00:37:36,663 --> 00:37:36,928
How many of you got up this

1117
00:37:36,928 --> 00:37:38,928
morning

1118
00:37:38,929 --> 00:37:39,568
to say that?

1119
00:37:39,568 --> 00:37:42,567
I thought to get elected so I

1120
00:37:42,567 --> 00:37:43,235
don't

1121
00:37:43,235 --> 00:37:43,435
have to present myself well in

1122
00:37:43,435 --> 00:37:45,435
to

1123
00:37:47,141 --> 00:37:49,541
do this the city.

1124
00:37:54,348 --> 00:37:56,348
That's a democracy.

1125
00:37:59,652 --> 00:38:03,252
Regardless if it's me or anyone

1126
00:38:03,452 --> 00:38:03,754
else, we are in the position to

1127
00:38:03,754 --> 00:38:04,388
respond.

1128
00:38:04,388 --> 00:38:04,624
When you can't respond, guess

1129
00:38:04,624 --> 00:38:04,922
what

1130
00:38:04,922 --> 00:38:05,891
happens?

1131
00:38:05,891 --> 00:38:08,891
The public thinks it's true.

1132
00:38:12,894 --> 00:38:13,990
I would like the city attorney

1133
00:38:13,990 --> 00:38:13,765
to

1134
00:38:13,765 --> 00:38:14,367
be a lot more aggressive, more

1135
00:38:14,367 --> 00:38:14,729
assertive when they bring

1136
00:38:14,729 --> 00:38:15,765
allegations.

1137
00:38:15,765 --> 00:38:17,765
Enough is enough.

1138
00:38:18,934 --> 00:38:20,934
>> thank you.

1139
00:38:20,969 --> 00:38:24,569
Thank you for helping with the

1140
00:38:25,973 --> 00:38:27,973
microphone also.

1141
00:38:38,487 --> 00:38:39,121
>> hello.

1142
00:38:39,121 --> 00:38:39,756
I met 5426 chevy chase drive.

1143
00:38:39,756 --> 00:38:40,250
I'm here as the President Of

1144
00:38:40,250 --> 00:38:40,657
corpus

1145
00:38:40,657 --> 00:38:40,856
christi taxpayers association

1146
00:38:40,856 --> 00:38:41,489
and

1147
00:38:41,489 --> 00:38:43,159
also the chair of the cleaner

1148
00:38:43,159 --> 00:38:43,793
economy coalition.

1149
00:38:43,793 --> 00:38:44,250
All of my members in both of

1150
00:38:44,250 --> 00:38:46,250
those

1151
00:38:48,465 --> 00:38:49,166
organizations and myself and my

1152
00:38:49,166 --> 00:38:49,733
family are going to ask you to,

1153
00:38:49,733 --> 00:38:50,000
please, let's don't annex

1154
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
another

1155
00:38:52,299 --> 00:38:54,699
40 square miles of property.

1156
00:38:56,604 --> 00:38:57,205
We've been encumbered up to the

1157
00:38:57,205 --> 00:38:57,439
point where we are bleeding

1158
00:38:57,439 --> 00:38:58,730
folks

1159
00:38:58,730 --> 00:38:58,308
with the tax money that goes

1160
00:38:58,308 --> 00:39:00,308
out.

1161
00:39:02,813 --> 00:39:03,410
I can't believe that we would

1162
00:39:03,410 --> 00:39:03,609
want

1163
00:39:03,609 --> 00:39:03,911
to go ahead and encumber

1164
00:39:03,911 --> 00:39:04,548
ourselves

1165
00:39:04,548 --> 00:39:04,746
with having to provide sewers

1166
00:39:04,746 --> 00:39:06,746
and

1167
00:39:10,490 --> 00:39:10,682
stuff to farmland.

1168
00:39:10,682 --> 00:39:11,317
That's from my entire group.

1169
00:39:11,317 --> 00:39:11,586
But I'll just leave it right

1170
00:39:11,586 --> 00:39:11,920
there.

1171
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,920
Thank you.

1172
00:39:26,897 --> 00:39:27,467
>> thank you.

1173
00:39:27,467 --> 00:39:27,732
>> can you hear me?

1174
00:39:27,732 --> 00:39:28,200
>> yes.

1175
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:28,768
>> good afternoon.

1176
00:39:28,768 --> 00:39:30,504
My name is luis chapman.

1177
00:39:30,504 --> 00:39:30,804
I'm a resident of corpus

1178
00:39:30,804 --> 00:39:31,369
christi.

1179
00:39:31,369 --> 00:39:31,639
I am truly puzzled by the

1180
00:39:31,639 --> 00:39:33,338
actions

1181
00:39:33,338 --> 00:39:36,646
of the city council over the

1182
00:39:36,646 --> 00:39:37,460
last

1183
00:39:37,460 --> 00:39:38,443
several months.

1184
00:39:38,443 --> 00:39:38,710
When the top of annexation

1185
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:40,710
began,

1186
00:39:41,110 --> 00:39:41,445
the idea was to prevent

1187
00:39:41,445 --> 00:39:43,445
impediment

1188
00:39:44,682 --> 00:39:45,352
to city growth.

1189
00:39:45,352 --> 00:39:45,549
The fact is the city is simply

1190
00:39:45,549 --> 00:39:47,549
not

1191
00:39:47,885 --> 00:39:48,118
going to grow past the 30,000

1192
00:39:48,118 --> 00:39:50,118
acres

1193
00:39:52,823 --> 00:39:53,456
of undeveloped land outside the

1194
00:39:53,456 --> 00:39:53,691
city limits, that is prior to

1195
00:39:53,691 --> 00:39:55,291
last

1196
00:39:55,291 --> 00:39:57,291
week annexation.

1197
00:39:59,896 --> 00:40:00,164
This is just not going to

1198
00:40:00,164 --> 00:40:00,764
happen

1199
00:40:00,764 --> 00:40:01,650
within the lifespan of the

1200
00:40:01,650 --> 00:40:03,650
proposed

1201
00:40:07,540 --> 00:40:08,204
wind farm.

1202
00:40:08,204 --> 00:40:08,872
There've been a number of land

1203
00:40:08,872 --> 00:40:09,873
developers at council meetings

1204
00:40:09,873 --> 00:40:11,873
pushing for annexation.

1205
00:40:14,479 --> 00:40:14,944
The fact is now that their

1206
00:40:14,944 --> 00:40:15,380
objective has been

1207
00:40:15,380 --> 00:40:17,380
accomplished, it

1208
00:40:18,470 --> 00:40:18,381
will be much cheaper for

1209
00:40:18,381 --> 00:40:20,381
developers

1210
00:40:20,653 --> 00:40:23,653
to hook into the infrastructure

1211
00:40:49,511 --> 00:40:50,180
required by annexation.

1212
00:40:50,180 --> 00:40:50,811
You should know that you cannot

1213
00:40:50,811 --> 00:40:51,140
regulate it, but you can tax

1214
00:40:51,140 --> 00:40:51,648
it.

1215
00:40:51,648 --> 00:40:51,846
You can tax the turbines, and

1216
00:40:51,846 --> 00:40:52,444
you

1217
00:40:52,444 --> 00:40:56,440
can text my and my family's

1218
00:41:00,588 --> 00:41:01,221
historic ranch and farmland.

1219
00:41:01,221 --> 00:41:01,452
The letter does not seem very

1220
00:41:01,452 --> 00:41:02,560
fair

1221
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:02,320
to me in that it should be

1222
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,320
obvious

1223
00:41:17,603 --> 00:41:20,603
that I'm very interested the

1224
00:41:20,773 --> 00:41:22,773
letter

1225
00:41:25,644 --> 00:41:25,842
is simply taxing the turbines,

1226
00:41:25,842 --> 00:41:26,112
the

1227
00:41:26,112 --> 00:41:26,781
farmer.

1228
00:41:26,781 --> 00:41:27,140
The turbines, that can be seen

1229
00:41:27,140 --> 00:41:29,140
as a

1230
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,520
land grab.

1231
00:41:37,188 --> 00:41:37,421
Now the city's rhetoric seems

1232
00:41:37,421 --> 00:41:38,890
to be

1233
00:41:38,890 --> 00:41:38,288
concerned over possible effects

1234
00:41:38,288 --> 00:41:40,288
on

1235
00:41:42,996 --> 00:41:44,995
our military basis I am deeply

1236
00:41:44,995 --> 00:41:45,228
concerned about the basis and

1237
00:41:45,228 --> 00:41:47,228
their

1238
00:41:50,234 --> 00:41:52,634
enormous importance to this

1239
00:41:59,575 --> 00:42:00,208
area.

1240
00:42:00,208 --> 00:42:00,411
I would like to know what is

1241
00:42:00,411 --> 00:42:02,411
the

1242
00:42:04,980 --> 00:42:05,283
real reason behind the city's

1243
00:42:05,283 --> 00:42:07,283
actions.

1244
00:42:08,620 --> 00:42:08,920
Why does the storyline keep

1245
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:09,585
changing?

1246
00:42:09,585 --> 00:42:09,788
Is the council concerned about

1247
00:42:09,788 --> 00:42:11,788
the

1248
00:42:12,421 --> 00:42:14,523
image at this point?

1249
00:42:14,523 --> 00:42:14,757
And why when required good

1250
00:42:14,757 --> 00:42:16,757
faith

1251
00:42:18,958 --> 00:42:19,163
negotiations between the city

1252
00:42:19,163 --> 00:42:21,940
and

1253
00:42:21,940 --> 00:42:21,297
aipac for making good progress

1254
00:42:21,297 --> 00:42:23,297
to

1255
00:42:24,431 --> 00:42:24,667
the council decide to vote to

1256
00:42:24,667 --> 00:42:26,667
annex

1257
00:42:27,137 --> 00:42:30,137
and declare intent to annex

1258
00:42:31,904 --> 00:42:33,100
another

1259
00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:33,277
20,000 acres May peaking --

1260
00:42:33,277 --> 00:42:33,941
making

1261
00:42:33,941 --> 00:42:34,141
corpus christi almost as large

1262
00:42:34,141 --> 00:42:36,141
an

1263
00:42:38,412 --> 00:42:42,120
area of the city of corpus

1264
00:42:44,988 --> 00:42:45,653
christi.

1265
00:42:45,653 --> 00:42:46,286
This is the part where I would

1266
00:42:46,286 --> 00:42:46,951
laugh because it's ludicrous.

1267
00:42:46,951 --> 00:42:47,154
>> Mrs. Chapman, I've given you

1268
00:42:47,154 --> 00:42:47,587
an

1269
00:42:47,587 --> 00:42:48,121
extra 20 seconds.

1270
00:42:48,121 --> 00:42:50,521
>> thank you very much.

1271
00:42:53,293 --> 00:42:53,629
>> thank you for coming.

1272
00:42:53,629 --> 00:42:55,629
Mr. Gordy.

1273
00:42:58,397 --> 00:42:58,998
>> jack gordy.

1274
00:42:58,998 --> 00:42:59,231
I'm down here for the same

1275
00:42:59,231 --> 00:43:01,231
thing

1276
00:43:04,101 --> 00:43:04,705
the other people spoke about.

1277
00:43:04,705 --> 00:43:04,969
When I leave home, I always

1278
00:43:04,969 --> 00:43:06,374
bring a

1279
00:43:06,374 --> 00:43:06,536
little comment samples me, and

1280
00:43:06,536 --> 00:43:08,536
I

1281
00:43:10,843 --> 00:43:11,477
asked if we do the same thing.

1282
00:43:11,477 --> 00:43:11,709
As I've said before, if they

1283
00:43:11,709 --> 00:43:13,709
were

1284
00:43:14,615 --> 00:43:14,849
against the windfarms, because

1285
00:43:14,849 --> 00:43:15,381
they

1286
00:43:15,381 --> 00:43:15,715
interfered with flight

1287
00:43:15,715 --> 00:43:17,715
operations,

1288
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:21,152
everybody out there using a

1289
00:43:21,152 --> 00:43:21,817
grain

1290
00:43:21,817 --> 00:43:22,230
of common sense would know that

1291
00:43:22,230 --> 00:43:22,685
the

1292
00:43:22,685 --> 00:43:24,254
federal government would file a

1293
00:43:24,254 --> 00:43:24,891
lawsuit and stop it.

1294
00:43:24,891 --> 00:43:27,291
That.-period-full stop those

1295
00:43:30,899 --> 00:43:33,534
windfarms any times they want

1296
00:43:33,534 --> 00:43:34,167
to.

1297
00:43:34,167 --> 00:43:34,398
This city council, I wish the

1298
00:43:34,398 --> 00:43:34,964
city

1299
00:43:34,964 --> 00:43:35,232
council would at least be

1300
00:43:35,232 --> 00:43:37,232
honest

1301
00:43:40,540 --> 00:43:40,742
with the citizens and tell them

1302
00:43:40,742 --> 00:43:41,500
the

1303
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:41,639
truth.

1304
00:43:41,639 --> 00:43:41,873
Tell them the truth and tell

1305
00:43:41,873 --> 00:43:43,309
them

1306
00:43:43,309 --> 00:43:43,606
why you won't annex the

1307
00:43:43,606 --> 00:43:45,441
property.

1308
00:43:45,441 --> 00:43:49,410
Nine out of 10 people that I've

1309
00:43:50,479 --> 00:43:50,811
talked to is against the

1310
00:43:50,811 --> 00:43:51,447
annexation.

1311
00:43:51,447 --> 00:43:55,470
It will take 30 years for the

1312
00:43:55,687 --> 00:43:57,687
city

1313
00:43:57,921 --> 00:43:58,156
to collect off a property tax

1314
00:43:58,156 --> 00:43:58,820
that

1315
00:43:58,820 --> 00:43:59,540
would take 30 years to collect

1316
00:43:59,540 --> 00:43:59,722
what

1317
00:43:59,722 --> 00:43:59,922
it's going to cost to annex it

1318
00:43:59,922 --> 00:44:01,922
and

1319
00:44:19,376 --> 00:44:20,500
put him infrastructure.

1320
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:20,210
I think you need to reconfirm

1321
00:44:20,210 --> 00:44:20,741
the

1322
00:44:20,741 --> 00:44:21,740
annexation and let the

1323
00:44:21,740 --> 00:44:21,975
government

1324
00:44:21,975 --> 00:44:22,279
take action to stop the

1325
00:44:22,279 --> 00:44:24,279
windfarms

1326
00:44:25,277 --> 00:44:25,747
if it's going to interfere with

1327
00:44:25,747 --> 00:44:26,349
flight operations.

1328
00:44:26,349 --> 00:44:26,612
Like I said, when you leave

1329
00:44:26,612 --> 00:44:28,612
home to

1330
00:44:31,518 --> 00:44:31,754
come down here, start bringing

1331
00:44:31,754 --> 00:44:32,290
some

1332
00:44:32,290 --> 00:44:34,690
common sense with you.

1333
00:44:49,306 --> 00:44:51,605
>> thank you, Mr. Gordy.

1334
00:44:51,605 --> 00:44:53,605
>> Mr. 01.

1335
00:44:57,842 --> 00:44:58,800
>> I'm one of many owners of

1336
00:44:58,800 --> 00:44:58,510
the [

1337
00:44:58,510 --> 00:44:59,115
Inaudible] Rant.

1338
00:44:59,115 --> 00:44:59,345
I listened to what you said

1339
00:44:59,345 --> 00:44:59,577
last

1340
00:44:59,577 --> 00:45:00,312
week.

1341
00:45:00,312 --> 00:45:00,513
I understand and agree with you

1342
00:45:00,513 --> 00:45:02,513
in

1343
00:45:06,552 --> 00:45:07,220
keeping with the station is of

1344
00:45:07,220 --> 00:45:07,418
paramount importance, but I do

1345
00:45:07,418 --> 00:45:08,180
not

1346
00:45:08,180 --> 00:45:08,252
understand why you voted to

1347
00:45:08,252 --> 00:45:10,252
annex

1348
00:45:11,292 --> 00:45:11,524
the property last week rather

1349
00:45:11,524 --> 00:45:12,159
than

1350
00:45:12,159 --> 00:45:14,158
table the vote until further

1351
00:45:14,158 --> 00:45:16,863
information can be gathered and

1352
00:45:16,863 --> 00:45:17,163
could be made more informed

1353
00:45:17,163 --> 00:45:19,163
decision.

1354
00:45:20,731 --> 00:45:20,932
The navy is working with and

1355
00:45:20,932 --> 00:45:21,565
has

1356
00:45:21,565 --> 00:45:22,869
said that there is no problem

1357
00:45:22,869 --> 00:45:24,869
with

1358
00:45:25,868 --> 00:45:28,868
the project as reported on

1359
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,760
September 16th.

1360
00:45:36,179 --> 00:45:36,444
Citing the public affairs

1361
00:45:36,444 --> 00:45:38,444
officer

1362
00:45:39,983 --> 00:45:40,182
for corpus christi, the navy

1363
00:45:40,182 --> 00:45:40,817
has

1364
00:45:40,817 --> 00:45:41,490
not taken no position on the

1365
00:45:41,490 --> 00:45:41,720
wind

1366
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:41,949
farm development because there

1367
00:45:41,949 --> 00:45:43,949
does

1368
00:45:45,588 --> 00:45:45,786
not appear to be a conflict for

1369
00:45:45,786 --> 00:45:46,870
the

1370
00:45:46,870 --> 00:45:46,687
stations.

1371
00:45:46,687 --> 00:45:46,954
I understand that you don't

1372
00:45:46,954 --> 00:45:48,954
believe

1373
00:45:51,527 --> 00:45:51,726
that there is a spokesperson

1374
00:45:51,726 --> 00:45:52,327
for

1375
00:45:52,327 --> 00:45:52,561
the real navy, whatever the

1376
00:45:52,561 --> 00:45:54,561
real

1377
00:46:10,679 --> 00:46:11,283
navy might be.

1378
00:46:11,283 --> 00:46:11,581
Relying on unsubstantiated

1379
00:46:11,581 --> 00:46:13,581
personal

1380
00:46:13,648 --> 00:46:13,882
conversations with unnamed

1381
00:46:13,882 --> 00:46:14,415
naval

1382
00:46:14,415 --> 00:46:16,116
personnel should not be

1383
00:46:16,116 --> 00:46:18,116
consider

1384
00:46:21,259 --> 00:46:23,659
reliable testimony to this

1385
00:46:24,793 --> 00:46:25,359
council's decision.

1386
00:46:25,359 --> 00:46:25,663
However, by annexing our

1387
00:46:25,663 --> 00:46:26,329
property

1388
00:46:26,329 --> 00:46:26,496
last week, you have guaranteed

1389
00:46:26,496 --> 00:46:28,496
a

1390
00:46:28,564 --> 00:46:28,763
much larger windfarms than the

1391
00:46:28,763 --> 00:46:29,431
one

1392
00:46:29,431 --> 00:46:32,601
aipac and the land owners were

1393
00:46:32,601 --> 00:46:33,201
willing to build.

1394
00:46:33,201 --> 00:46:33,464
A compromise that would've

1395
00:46:33,464 --> 00:46:35,464
removed

1396
00:46:36,172 --> 00:46:36,371
turbines from within 5 miles of

1397
00:46:36,371 --> 00:46:37,380
the

1398
00:46:37,380 --> 00:46:40,108
city, plus payments in lieu of

1399
00:46:40,108 --> 00:46:42,508
taxes and other concessions.

1400
00:46:45,810 --> 00:46:45,778
During the public hearing on

1401
00:46:45,778 --> 00:46:45,976
august 26th, apex has the right

1402
00:46:45,976 --> 00:46:47,976
to

1403
00:46:53,553 --> 00:46:53,752
build this project, that they

1404
00:46:53,752 --> 00:46:54,390
are

1405
00:46:54,390 --> 00:46:54,651
going to build this project,

1406
00:46:54,651 --> 00:46:55,254
and if

1407
00:46:55,254 --> 00:46:55,520
annex would have to build a

1408
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,520
larger

1409
00:46:58,623 --> 00:46:58,859
project to pay the additional

1410
00:46:58,859 --> 00:46:59,125
city

1411
00:46:59,125 --> 00:46:59,623
taxes.

1412
00:46:59,623 --> 00:46:59,956
So I am left with the

1413
00:46:59,956 --> 00:47:01,956
conclusion

1414
00:47:02,162 --> 00:47:05,162
that your primary goal in

1415
00:47:05,699 --> 00:47:06,362
annexation is not providing for

1416
00:47:06,362 --> 00:47:06,562
future growth core doors but to

1417
00:47:06,562 --> 00:47:08,562
get

1418
00:47:12,170 --> 00:47:12,406
the tax revenue from a fully

1419
00:47:12,406 --> 00:47:12,637
wind

1420
00:47:12,637 --> 00:47:13,306
farm.

1421
00:47:13,306 --> 00:47:13,538
Clearly, the naval air station

1422
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:14,738
does

1423
00:47:14,738 --> 00:47:17,473
not need to be saved from a

1424
00:47:17,473 --> 00:47:18,144
wind

1425
00:47:18,144 --> 00:47:18,378
farm development that the navy

1426
00:47:18,378 --> 00:47:20,378
says

1427
00:47:23,113 --> 00:47:23,717
it is not a problem.

1428
00:47:23,717 --> 00:47:24,346
Please do not compound your

1429
00:47:24,346 --> 00:47:24,550
mistakes by annexing most of

1430
00:47:24,550 --> 00:47:26,250
the

1431
00:47:26,250 --> 00:47:26,483
rest of the projects that now

1432
00:47:26,483 --> 00:47:28,483
lies

1433
00:47:30,418 --> 00:47:30,656
in the new e tj, that only

1434
00:47:30,656 --> 00:47:31,285
makes

1435
00:47:31,285 --> 00:47:34,290
the tax burden bigger and the

1436
00:47:34,290 --> 00:47:34,626
windfarms even larger.

1437
00:47:34,626 --> 00:47:36,626
Thank you.

1438
00:47:52,805 --> 00:47:54,805
>> thank you, Mr. 01.

1439
00:47:58,580 --> 00:47:58,945
>> mayor, council members, I am

1440
00:47:58,945 --> 00:47:59,615
jimmy dodson.

1441
00:47:59,615 --> 00:48:00,283
I live in the county, a former

1442
00:48:00,283 --> 00:48:03,248
resident of corpus christi, but

1443
00:48:03,248 --> 00:48:03,884
I

1444
00:48:03,884 --> 00:48:04,870
own property that's very near

1445
00:48:04,870 --> 00:48:04,685
the

1446
00:48:04,685 --> 00:48:04,918
county at a farm about 5000

1447
00:48:04,918 --> 00:48:06,918
acres

1448
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:08,725
of the chapman ranch owners

1449
00:48:08,725 --> 00:48:08,921
association blanch that's going

1450
00:48:08,921 --> 00:48:10,191
to

1451
00:48:10,191 --> 00:48:13,791
be impacted by the wind farm.

1452
00:48:13,896 --> 00:48:15,498
And by your annexation action.

1453
00:48:15,498 --> 00:48:17,301
I wanted to say that I believe

1454
00:48:17,301 --> 00:48:19,301
the

1455
00:48:21,366 --> 00:48:21,569
city annexation and development

1456
00:48:21,569 --> 00:48:23,569
and

1457
00:48:23,737 --> 00:48:26,737
planning process needs to be

1458
00:48:28,707 --> 00:48:29,376
predictable, needs to be fair.

1459
00:48:29,376 --> 00:48:33,576
It needs to do no harm without

1460
00:48:33,916 --> 00:48:34,145
compensating owners who are

1461
00:48:34,145 --> 00:48:34,815
armed

1462
00:48:34,815 --> 00:48:35,140
-- were harmed and it needs to

1463
00:48:35,140 --> 00:48:37,140
be

1464
00:48:41,556 --> 00:48:41,855
cautious about evaluating

1465
00:48:41,855 --> 00:48:42,119
property

1466
00:48:42,119 --> 00:48:42,790
rights.

1467
00:48:42,790 --> 00:48:42,990
In my other life, I'm Chairman

1468
00:48:42,990 --> 00:48:43,653
Of

1469
00:48:43,653 --> 00:48:43,853
the credit bank of texas, which

1470
00:48:43,853 --> 00:48:45,853
is

1471
00:48:54,632 --> 00:48:55,270
a $24 billion corporation of

1472
00:48:55,270 --> 00:48:55,832
lenders in texas, louisiana,

1473
00:48:55,832 --> 00:48:56,980
mississippi, alabama, and

1474
00:48:56,980 --> 00:48:56,701
mexico.

1475
00:48:56,701 --> 00:48:56,965
I've been the Chairman For

1476
00:48:56,965 --> 00:48:57,237
several

1477
00:48:57,237 --> 00:48:57,902
years.

1478
00:48:57,902 --> 00:48:58,136
I've been on that board for 12

1479
00:48:58,136 --> 00:48:58,769
now.

1480
00:48:58,769 --> 00:48:59,434
I'm not speaking for the bank

1481
00:48:59,434 --> 00:49:00,306
today, but I will tell you that

1482
00:49:00,306 --> 00:49:00,504
private property rights is a

1483
00:49:00,504 --> 00:49:01,170
key

1484
00:49:01,170 --> 00:49:01,374
issue for us because 70 percent

1485
00:49:01,374 --> 00:49:03,374
of

1486
00:49:03,905 --> 00:49:04,210
our portfolio is in first

1487
00:49:04,210 --> 00:49:04,777
position

1488
00:49:04,777 --> 00:49:05,440
mortgages in the state of

1489
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,110
texas,

1490
00:49:07,110 --> 00:49:07,243
primarily murder rural and

1491
00:49:07,243 --> 00:49:07,845
small

1492
00:49:07,845 --> 00:49:08,800
cities with a population of

1493
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,800
less

1494
00:49:10,980 --> 00:49:11,582
than 2500.

1495
00:49:11,582 --> 00:49:11,815
What your actions have done

1496
00:49:11,815 --> 00:49:13,815
have

1497
00:49:14,583 --> 00:49:14,849
made it hard to predict as a

1498
00:49:14,849 --> 00:49:16,849
lender

1499
00:49:16,986 --> 00:49:19,986
who take security interest in

1500
00:49:21,424 --> 00:49:21,725
property what the city's action

1501
00:49:21,725 --> 00:49:22,392
will do.

1502
00:49:22,392 --> 00:49:22,626
It's my understanding that the

1503
00:49:22,626 --> 00:49:24,626
city

1504
00:49:25,828 --> 00:49:26,495
doesn't allow the discharge of

1505
00:49:26,495 --> 00:49:26,698
firearms, for instance, and now

1506
00:49:26,698 --> 00:49:28,698
you

1507
00:49:29,832 --> 00:49:30,650
have 20,000 acres, maybe 40

1508
00:49:30,650 --> 00:49:32,650
that

1509
00:49:35,304 --> 00:49:35,971
will, ultimately, the annexed.

1510
00:49:35,971 --> 00:49:36,204
That's an income stream that's

1511
00:49:36,204 --> 00:49:36,838
gone.

1512
00:49:36,838 --> 00:49:41,380
For me as a farmer, it's very

1513
00:49:46,882 --> 00:49:47,117
important because we have hogs

1514
00:49:47,117 --> 00:49:47,750
that

1515
00:49:47,750 --> 00:49:48,319
destroy our crops every year.

1516
00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:48,950
Without them, trap them.

1517
00:49:48,950 --> 00:49:49,219
We don't poison them because

1518
00:49:49,219 --> 00:49:49,818
that's

1519
00:49:49,818 --> 00:49:50,860
against the law, but if we

1520
00:49:50,860 --> 00:49:50,719
could,

1521
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:50,951
we would because they're the

1522
00:49:50,951 --> 00:49:52,951
worst

1523
00:49:55,220 --> 00:49:55,857
pests that we have.

1524
00:49:55,857 --> 00:49:56,880
What your action has done has

1525
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:56,691
made

1526
00:49:56,691 --> 00:49:56,923
it illegal for me to manage

1527
00:49:56,923 --> 00:49:57,158
that

1528
00:49:57,158 --> 00:49:57,723
test.

1529
00:49:57,723 --> 00:49:58,580
I want to know if animal

1530
00:49:58,580 --> 00:50:00,580
control is

1531
00:50:00,428 --> 00:50:01,950
going to do that for me.

1532
00:50:01,950 --> 00:50:01,264
That would be a challenge, but

1533
00:50:01,264 --> 00:50:03,264
I

1534
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,680
would like to have some

1535
00:50:13,905 --> 00:50:14,541
assistance.

1536
00:50:14,541 --> 00:50:15,107
The branch area is wonderful

1537
00:50:15,107 --> 00:50:15,412
farmland, but it's poorly

1538
00:50:15,412 --> 00:50:16,760
drained.

1539
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:16,275
All of the water has to run to

1540
00:50:16,275 --> 00:50:16,942
get

1541
00:50:16,942 --> 00:50:17,210
to the zero so or to the laguna

1542
00:50:17,210 --> 00:50:17,810
largo.

1543
00:50:17,810 --> 00:50:18,790
The king ranch is owned by

1544
00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:18,443
another

1545
00:50:18,443 --> 00:50:19,780
large family.

1546
00:50:19,780 --> 00:50:19,314
They're very influential and

1547
00:50:19,314 --> 00:50:20,150
very

1548
00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:20,681
good people.

1549
00:50:20,681 --> 00:50:25,481
I want to know if the city will

1550
00:50:26,817 --> 00:50:27,180
continue to work to get water

1551
00:50:27,180 --> 00:50:27,688
off

1552
00:50:27,688 --> 00:50:27,887
the chapman ranch land and out

1553
00:50:27,887 --> 00:50:28,553
to

1554
00:50:28,553 --> 00:50:28,751
the lagoon and out to the zero

1555
00:50:28,751 --> 00:50:29,188
so

1556
00:50:29,188 --> 00:50:31,188
where it belongs.

1557
00:50:31,723 --> 00:50:31,926
We had our brain the other day

1558
00:50:31,926 --> 00:50:32,558
and

1559
00:50:32,558 --> 00:50:35,558
I understand the city should

1560
00:50:37,928 --> 00:50:38,596
understand about that problem.

1561
00:50:38,596 --> 00:50:39,264
Also, I think the shape of the

1562
00:50:39,264 --> 00:50:41,664
exterior is very interesting.

1563
00:50:42,166 --> 00:50:42,369
It looks to me that it's just

1564
00:50:42,369 --> 00:50:42,701
the

1565
00:50:42,701 --> 00:50:44,701
windfarms.

1566
00:50:48,206 --> 00:50:48,473
If that's the case, then it

1567
00:50:48,473 --> 00:50:49,142
doesn't

1568
00:50:49,142 --> 00:50:52,276
make much sense to me, because

1569
00:50:52,276 --> 00:50:52,576
there's an area inside the

1570
00:50:52,576 --> 00:50:54,576
original

1571
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:57,348
e tj before the annexation

1572
00:50:57,348 --> 00:50:57,951
that's a

1573
00:50:57,951 --> 00:50:58,481
vital interest to the city.

1574
00:50:58,481 --> 00:50:59,830
It needs to be managed.

1575
00:50:59,830 --> 00:50:59,351
There's uneven development

1576
00:50:59,351 --> 00:51:01,351
there.

1577
00:51:02,823 --> 00:51:03,421
There is land.

1578
00:51:03,421 --> 00:51:05,821
There are oilfield service

1579
00:51:06,789 --> 00:51:07,392
companies that have bunkers for

1580
00:51:07,392 --> 00:51:07,958
explosives and radioactive

1581
00:51:07,958 --> 00:51:09,958
materials within shouting

1582
00:51:12,630 --> 00:51:12,495
distance

1583
00:51:12,495 --> 00:51:13,132
of school.

1584
00:51:13,132 --> 00:51:13,364
There's all kinds of problems

1585
00:51:13,364 --> 00:51:14,000
there

1586
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:14,363
that the city can be fixing.

1587
00:51:14,363 --> 00:51:14,996
>> thank you.

1588
00:51:14,996 --> 00:51:17,835
>> let me say one last thing.

1589
00:51:17,835 --> 00:51:18,103
The development of services

1590
00:51:18,103 --> 00:51:18,738
area in

1591
00:51:18,738 --> 00:51:18,967
the city and the staff is the

1592
00:51:18,967 --> 00:51:19,371
best

1593
00:51:19,371 --> 00:51:21,371
it's ever been.

1594
00:51:21,437 --> 00:51:22,500
I'm not complaining about that.

1595
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:22,274
I think that you owe us a

1596
00:51:22,274 --> 00:51:22,904
better

1597
00:51:22,904 --> 00:51:23,140
explanation for what you've

1598
00:51:23,140 --> 00:51:25,140
done.

1599
00:51:39,687 --> 00:51:41,687
>> thank you.

1600
00:51:43,724 --> 00:51:46,724
>> my name is john quinn.

1601
00:51:49,162 --> 00:51:49,831
5302 capernaum here in corpus.

1602
00:51:49,831 --> 00:51:53,431
I'm a cotton and grain sorter.

1603
00:51:54,634 --> 00:51:55,990
I'm a cotton and corn producer

1604
00:51:55,990 --> 00:51:55,735
here.

1605
00:51:55,735 --> 00:51:55,969
Part of my farmland is that I

1606
00:51:55,969 --> 00:51:56,638
don't

1607
00:51:56,638 --> 00:51:56,837
own, I'm the lieutenant farmer

1608
00:51:56,837 --> 00:51:58,837
but

1609
00:52:01,475 --> 00:52:03,374
it is within the new annexed

1610
00:52:03,374 --> 00:52:03,641
area.

1611
00:52:03,641 --> 00:52:05,641
Anyway.

1612
00:52:06,579 --> 00:52:07,215
A few points I wanted to make.

1613
00:52:07,215 --> 00:52:10,815
I'm sitting at my house just

1614
00:52:14,152 --> 00:52:16,552
thinking through the annexed

1615
00:52:17,570 --> 00:52:17,620
area.

1616
00:52:17,620 --> 00:52:18,256
What is the growth been?

1617
00:52:18,256 --> 00:52:18,523
This is all supposedly about

1618
00:52:18,523 --> 00:52:18,826
corpus

1619
00:52:18,826 --> 00:52:19,457
growing.

1620
00:52:19,457 --> 00:52:19,660
I went and looked, and within

1621
00:52:19,660 --> 00:52:21,660
my

1622
00:52:23,695 --> 00:52:24,296
lifetime, the last 30 years or

1623
00:52:24,296 --> 00:52:24,929
so,

1624
00:52:24,929 --> 00:52:25,166
although growth on the south

1625
00:52:25,166 --> 00:52:25,796
side

1626
00:52:25,796 --> 00:52:26,310
of corpus, you can draw three-

1627
00:52:26,310 --> 00:52:26,633
mile

1628
00:52:26,633 --> 00:52:28,667
circle, and it's almost all

1629
00:52:28,667 --> 00:52:28,931
great

1630
00:52:28,931 --> 00:52:29,398
there.

1631
00:52:29,398 --> 00:52:30,100
I started looking.

1632
00:52:30,100 --> 00:52:30,267
I say, we're worried about

1633
00:52:30,267 --> 00:52:32,267
chapman

1634
00:52:33,403 --> 00:52:33,605
ranch and windfarms affecting

1635
00:52:33,605 --> 00:52:34,390
the

1636
00:52:34,390 --> 00:52:36,390
growth of corpus.

1637
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:36,440
I can find a 6-mile circle that

1638
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,440
is

1639
00:52:42,513 --> 00:52:46,713
in a more desirable area in the

1640
00:52:47,684 --> 00:52:50,591
court for the next 50 years or

1641
00:52:50,591 --> 00:52:51,255
so,

1642
00:52:51,255 --> 00:52:51,919
and a further the wind farm is

1643
00:52:51,919 --> 00:52:52,589
supposed to last from maybe 30

1644
00:52:52,589 --> 00:52:52,791
years, and it would be logical

1645
00:52:52,791 --> 00:52:54,791
for

1646
00:52:55,522 --> 00:52:55,793
the wind farm to be there,

1647
00:52:55,793 --> 00:52:56,390
develop

1648
00:52:56,390 --> 00:52:56,692
that part of corpus and it

1649
00:52:56,692 --> 00:52:58,361
grows in

1650
00:52:58,361 --> 00:52:58,563
at the end of the lifecycle of

1651
00:52:58,563 --> 00:53:00,563
the

1652
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:01,730
wind farm.

1653
00:53:01,730 --> 00:53:04,730
I'm just thinking logically, it

1654
00:53:07,335 --> 00:53:07,569
doesn't make sense to think we

1655
00:53:07,569 --> 00:53:08,168
have

1656
00:53:08,168 --> 00:53:08,441
to annex out there because

1657
00:53:08,441 --> 00:53:08,971
that's

1658
00:53:08,971 --> 00:53:11,371
going to affect growth.

1659
00:53:12,876 --> 00:53:13,176
Questions that I have as a

1660
00:53:13,176 --> 00:53:13,806
producer.

1661
00:53:13,806 --> 00:53:14,130
Jimmy spoke to some of these,

1662
00:53:14,130 --> 00:53:14,612
but

1663
00:53:14,612 --> 00:53:14,844
are we able to speak on our

1664
00:53:14,844 --> 00:53:15,978
cell

1665
00:53:15,978 --> 00:53:16,647
phones out there?

1666
00:53:16,647 --> 00:53:16,842
Are we going to be able to talk

1667
00:53:16,842 --> 00:53:18,842
on

1668
00:53:23,954 --> 00:53:24,588
our cell phones?

1669
00:53:24,588 --> 00:53:25,253
He talked about discharge of

1670
00:53:25,253 --> 00:53:25,689
firearms and the hard problems.

1671
00:53:25,689 --> 00:53:27,689
Snakes, coyotes.

1672
00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:28,222
What are we doing about animals

1673
00:53:28,222 --> 00:53:28,822
out

1674
00:53:28,822 --> 00:53:29,910
there customer what are we

1675
00:53:29,910 --> 00:53:29,490
legally

1676
00:53:29,490 --> 00:53:31,490
allowed to do?

1677
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:35,461
The drainage issues.

1678
00:53:35,461 --> 00:53:35,729
What about building equipment

1679
00:53:35,729 --> 00:53:36,363
sheds?

1680
00:53:36,363 --> 00:53:36,596
Are we going to have to meet

1681
00:53:36,596 --> 00:53:37,263
city

1682
00:53:37,263 --> 00:53:39,980
code to build a barn to put our

1683
00:53:39,980 --> 00:53:39,767
tractors and equipment into?

1684
00:53:39,767 --> 00:53:42,771
A lot of questions I have as a

1685
00:53:42,771 --> 00:53:42,936
producer along those lines that

1686
00:53:42,936 --> 00:53:43,505
I

1687
00:53:43,505 --> 00:53:45,273
haven't seen answers to.

1688
00:53:45,273 --> 00:53:45,508
I'd like to see the facts you

1689
00:53:45,508 --> 00:53:47,508
used

1690
00:53:49,143 --> 00:53:49,743
to reach your conclusion that

1691
00:53:49,743 --> 00:53:52,143
annexation was necessary to

1692
00:53:53,715 --> 00:53:54,450
protect

1693
00:53:54,450 --> 00:53:54,649
the growth.

1694
00:53:54,649 --> 00:53:54,884
It's been stated many times

1695
00:53:54,884 --> 00:53:56,881
this

1696
00:53:56,881 --> 00:53:57,183
morning already about the

1697
00:53:57,183 --> 00:53:59,183
military.

1698
00:54:02,118 --> 00:54:02,353
I go to church with several

1699
00:54:02,353 --> 00:54:04,353
naval

1700
00:54:05,356 --> 00:54:06,240
officers inflate students and

1701
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:06,261
flight instructors, and I look

1702
00:54:06,261 --> 00:54:06,924
them

1703
00:54:06,924 --> 00:54:07,224
in the eye and said, is this a

1704
00:54:07,224 --> 00:54:08,761
problem?

1705
00:54:08,761 --> 00:54:09,630
They said, no, it's not a

1706
00:54:09,630 --> 00:54:11,630
problem.

1707
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:11,397
It's not a problem to the

1708
00:54:11,397 --> 00:54:13,397
military.

1709
00:54:15,569 --> 00:54:15,767
From the people that I've seen

1710
00:54:15,767 --> 00:54:17,767
in

1711
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,640
the planes themselves.

1712
00:54:23,741 --> 00:54:24,450
They have a rich agricultural

1713
00:54:24,450 --> 00:54:24,675
issue.

1714
00:54:24,675 --> 00:54:24,907
As far as I know, they desire

1715
00:54:24,907 --> 00:54:25,578
their

1716
00:54:25,578 --> 00:54:26,709
land to stay in farming for the

1717
00:54:26,709 --> 00:54:28,709
foreseeable future.

1718
00:54:28,910 --> 00:54:30,910
Farming scott tougher.

1719
00:54:34,184 --> 00:54:34,383
Government programs changing

1720
00:54:34,383 --> 00:54:34,984
and

1721
00:54:34,984 --> 00:54:37,723
other things in south texas

1722
00:54:37,723 --> 00:54:38,123
especially with hydro, it's

1723
00:54:38,123 --> 00:54:40,123
unpredictable.

1724
00:54:40,624 --> 00:54:41,160
So I think they're looking at

1725
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,560
trying to keep farming.

1726
00:54:45,963 --> 00:54:46,195
They want this to be a green

1727
00:54:46,195 --> 00:54:46,830
belt

1728
00:54:46,830 --> 00:54:47,620
and protect the farming, keep

1729
00:54:47,620 --> 00:54:49,620
it in

1730
00:54:52,333 --> 00:54:52,601
farming as well as have green

1731
00:54:52,601 --> 00:54:53,236
energy.

1732
00:54:53,236 --> 00:54:53,469
How much greener can you get

1733
00:54:53,469 --> 00:54:54,104
with

1734
00:54:54,104 --> 00:54:56,440
got to have green crops grown

1735
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:56,804
with

1736
00:54:56,804 --> 00:54:57,172
green energy?

1737
00:54:57,172 --> 00:54:59,172
>> thank you.

1738
00:55:00,441 --> 00:55:01,750
>> last thing I'll say, I just

1739
00:55:01,750 --> 00:55:01,346
think that chapman family is

1740
00:55:01,346 --> 00:55:03,346
one of

1741
00:55:05,780 --> 00:55:05,512
the most generous -- generous

1742
00:55:05,512 --> 00:55:06,146
families I know.

1743
00:55:06,146 --> 00:55:10,287
You don't have to look far to

1744
00:55:10,287 --> 00:55:11,185
see

1745
00:55:11,185 --> 00:55:11,383
their contributions to the city

1746
00:55:11,383 --> 00:55:11,917
of

1747
00:55:11,917 --> 00:55:12,556
corpus and south texas.

1748
00:55:12,556 --> 00:55:12,785
I don't think this is fair to

1749
00:55:12,785 --> 00:55:13,458
them

1750
00:55:13,458 --> 00:55:14,921
to be able to penalize them in

1751
00:55:14,921 --> 00:55:15,156
this

1752
00:55:15,156 --> 00:55:15,822
way.

1753
00:55:15,822 --> 00:55:16,125
That's where look at it, it's a

1754
00:55:16,125 --> 00:55:18,125
penalty.

1755
00:55:19,558 --> 00:55:19,793
I think it's very unfair to

1756
00:55:19,793 --> 00:55:20,430
them.

1757
00:55:20,430 --> 00:55:20,627
>> if I can ask you to please

1758
00:55:20,627 --> 00:55:22,128
be

1759
00:55:22,128 --> 00:55:22,360
mindful of the three-minute

1760
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,360
limit

1761
00:55:26,366 --> 00:55:26,665
for public comment.

1762
00:55:26,665 --> 00:55:28,665
Mr. Loeb.

1763
00:55:32,105 --> 00:55:32,308
>> on a very large acre tract,

1764
00:55:32,308 --> 00:55:34,308
is

1765
00:55:36,808 --> 00:55:37,120
legal in the city limits if it

1766
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:37,447
was

1767
00:55:37,447 --> 00:55:38,111
annex after 1981.

1768
00:55:38,111 --> 00:55:38,313
There's a bunch of law -- bunch

1769
00:55:38,313 --> 00:55:40,313
of

1770
00:55:41,747 --> 00:55:41,946
stuff in local government about

1771
00:55:41,946 --> 00:55:42,517
it.

1772
00:55:42,517 --> 00:55:42,816
>> since that has been a

1773
00:55:42,816 --> 00:55:44,816
question

1774
00:55:48,793 --> 00:55:50,988
asked by at least two of the

1775
00:55:50,988 --> 00:55:51,594
commenters, he is correct.

1776
00:55:51,594 --> 00:55:51,826
Since that we are annexing

1777
00:55:51,826 --> 00:55:52,494
after

1778
00:55:52,494 --> 00:55:52,791
1981, it's attracted more than

1779
00:55:52,791 --> 00:55:54,627
10 acres.

1780
00:55:54,627 --> 00:55:57,270
We cannot regulate shotguns,

1781
00:55:57,464 --> 00:55:57,795
rifles, or pistols being

1782
00:55:57,795 --> 00:55:58,394
discharged

1783
00:55:58,394 --> 00:55:58,699
and track the more than 50

1784
00:55:58,699 --> 00:56:00,699
acres we

1785
00:56:01,164 --> 00:56:01,468
cannot regulate.

1786
00:56:01,468 --> 00:56:03,468
>> okay.

1787
00:56:05,637 --> 00:56:07,637
Thank you.

1788
00:56:13,343 --> 00:56:14,130
>> my name is diane vandermark.

1789
00:56:14,130 --> 00:56:14,211
I own farm property in the city

1790
00:56:14,211 --> 00:56:14,611
of

1791
00:56:14,611 --> 00:56:15,148
corpus christi.

1792
00:56:15,148 --> 00:56:15,812
Formerly chapman ranch.

1793
00:56:15,812 --> 00:56:16,450
I also own farmland in what is

1794
00:56:16,450 --> 00:56:18,130
left

1795
00:56:18,130 --> 00:56:18,215
of chapman ranch at least for

1796
00:56:18,215 --> 00:56:18,482
the

1797
00:56:18,482 --> 00:56:19,800
moment.

1798
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:19,316
Last week not only did you

1799
00:56:19,316 --> 00:56:21,316
annex

1800
00:56:22,850 --> 00:56:22,317
all of the property, most of

1801
00:56:22,317 --> 00:56:24,317
which

1802
00:56:26,822 --> 00:56:27,240
has been in the e tj for about

1803
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:27,660
30

1804
00:56:27,660 --> 00:56:27,855
years, but you announced that

1805
00:56:27,855 --> 00:56:28,489
you

1806
00:56:28,489 --> 00:56:30,525
will begin a second phase of

1807
00:56:30,525 --> 00:56:30,964
annexation with no explanation.

1808
00:56:30,964 --> 00:56:33,364
Is there a third?

1809
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:49,682
Is there a fourth phase of

1810
00:56:49,682 --> 00:56:50,344
annexation and that the patriot

1811
00:56:50,344 --> 00:56:50,981
wind farm that Councilman Stop

1812
00:56:50,981 --> 00:56:51,615
scott spoke about last week?

1813
00:56:51,615 --> 00:56:51,846
Will you continue to lollipop

1814
00:56:51,846 --> 00:56:52,447
annex

1815
00:56:52,447 --> 00:56:52,716
where you will until you've

1816
00:56:52,716 --> 00:56:53,349
gobbled

1817
00:56:53,349 --> 00:56:53,549
up all of the lucrative parts

1818
00:56:53,549 --> 00:56:53,949
of

1819
00:56:53,949 --> 00:56:54,581
nueces county?

1820
00:56:54,581 --> 00:56:54,814
Last week and previously you

1821
00:56:54,814 --> 00:56:55,452
said

1822
00:56:55,452 --> 00:56:55,683
that annexation was the only

1823
00:56:55,683 --> 00:56:56,288
tool

1824
00:56:56,288 --> 00:56:56,515
in your toolbox to stop the

1825
00:56:56,515 --> 00:56:56,750
wind

1826
00:56:56,750 --> 00:56:57,389
farm.

1827
00:56:57,389 --> 00:56:57,585
Well, here's another idea for

1828
00:56:57,585 --> 00:56:58,319
you

1829
00:56:58,319 --> 00:56:58,554
next time you're looking for a

1830
00:56:58,554 --> 00:57:00,554
tool.

1831
00:57:05,628 --> 00:57:08,280
What about the telephone?

1832
00:57:10,733 --> 00:57:13,350
Not one of you nor any of your

1833
00:57:13,350 --> 00:57:13,234
staff ever reached out to any

1834
00:57:13,234 --> 00:57:13,898
of

1835
00:57:13,898 --> 00:57:17,498
the land owners to discuss this

1836
00:57:18,172 --> 00:57:22,339
prior to your vote to begin the

1837
00:57:22,339 --> 00:57:23,110
annexation process.

1838
00:57:23,110 --> 00:57:23,677
In fact, I found out about your

1839
00:57:23,677 --> 00:57:24,313
plans to annex or property in a

1840
00:57:24,313 --> 00:57:24,542
newspaper article dated March

1841
00:57:24,542 --> 00:57:25,180
18th.

1842
00:57:25,180 --> 00:57:25,446
Since then, one and only one

1843
00:57:25,446 --> 00:57:27,446
person

1844
00:57:29,182 --> 00:57:29,382
on the council has reached out

1845
00:57:29,382 --> 00:57:30,170
to

1846
00:57:30,170 --> 00:57:30,617
one and only one member of my

1847
00:57:30,617 --> 00:57:30,914
extended family who owned

1848
00:57:30,914 --> 00:57:32,914
property

1849
00:57:33,152 --> 00:57:33,787
at chapman ranch, and that was

1850
00:57:33,787 --> 00:57:36,187
after the annexation process

1851
00:57:36,755 --> 00:57:37,930
was

1852
00:57:37,930 --> 00:57:37,689
unleashed.

1853
00:57:37,689 --> 00:57:37,922
I'm sure carole kirkpatrick

1854
00:57:37,922 --> 00:57:39,922
would

1855
00:57:43,926 --> 00:57:44,950
have appreciated a call as well

1856
00:57:44,950 --> 00:57:44,665
.

1857
00:57:44,665 --> 00:57:44,928
We felt compelled to hire

1858
00:57:44,928 --> 00:57:45,531
lawyers

1859
00:57:45,531 --> 00:57:45,766
to defend ourselves against

1860
00:57:45,766 --> 00:57:47,766
your

1861
00:57:51,204 --> 00:57:51,872
hostile actions.

1862
00:57:51,872 --> 00:57:52,536
It first and only communication

1863
00:57:52,536 --> 00:57:52,735
came to all of the land owners

1864
00:57:52,735 --> 00:57:53,338
in

1865
00:57:53,338 --> 00:57:56,242
the form of the development

1866
00:57:56,242 --> 00:57:56,906
agreement postmarked July 17th.

1867
00:57:56,906 --> 00:57:57,542
As we all heard last week, the

1868
00:57:57,542 --> 00:58:00,542
language in those letters was

1869
00:58:03,316 --> 00:58:04,847
burdened with particularly

1870
00:58:04,847 --> 00:58:05,153
obtuse

1871
00:58:05,153 --> 00:58:05,783
legalese.

1872
00:58:05,783 --> 00:58:05,981
But I don't understand is why

1873
00:58:05,981 --> 00:58:06,651
he

1874
00:58:06,651 --> 00:58:08,820
voted to annex or property last

1875
00:58:08,820 --> 00:58:11,919
week rather than table the vote

1876
00:58:11,919 --> 00:58:12,124
since they've informed us that

1877
00:58:12,124 --> 00:58:12,790
the

1878
00:58:12,790 --> 00:58:15,190
negotiations we are proceeding

1879
00:58:16,728 --> 00:58:17,640
with

1880
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:17,695
your staff.

1881
00:58:17,695 --> 00:58:20,695
Also, an independent study by

1882
00:58:22,263 --> 00:58:23,233
emmons engineering to evaluate

1883
00:58:23,233 --> 00:58:23,501
broadcast, wireless, public

1884
00:58:23,501 --> 00:58:25,501
safety,

1885
00:58:27,138 --> 00:58:27,836
microwave, radar, and other

1886
00:58:27,836 --> 00:58:28,370
spectrum signals using industry

1887
00:58:28,370 --> 00:58:30,370
and

1888
00:58:32,206 --> 00:58:32,842
f tc standards is imminent.

1889
00:58:32,842 --> 00:58:33,730
It's less than one week away

1890
00:58:33,730 --> 00:58:35,730
from

1891
00:58:35,511 --> 00:58:37,511
being published.

1892
00:58:39,413 --> 00:58:39,648
You and the public could've

1893
00:58:39,648 --> 00:58:41,648
read

1894
00:58:43,618 --> 00:58:43,818
what unbiased experts have to

1895
00:58:43,818 --> 00:58:44,454
say

1896
00:58:44,454 --> 00:58:44,689
about the state of technology

1897
00:58:44,689 --> 00:58:45,286
right

1898
00:58:45,286 --> 00:58:46,919
now rather than using dated

1899
00:58:46,919 --> 00:58:49,919
information and hearsay to make

1900
00:58:51,892 --> 00:58:53,892
a

1901
00:58:57,650 --> 00:58:57,698
decision.

1902
00:58:57,698 --> 00:58:57,896
Now, it seems you've crossed

1903
00:58:57,896 --> 00:58:58,198
the

1904
00:58:58,198 --> 00:58:58,730
rubicon.

1905
00:58:58,730 --> 00:58:59,330
We have one tool in our

1906
00:58:59,330 --> 00:59:01,330
toolbox,

1907
00:59:03,272 --> 00:59:03,936
and that is democracy.

1908
00:59:03,936 --> 00:59:04,136
Please let me know if there are

1909
00:59:04,136 --> 00:59:06,136
any

1910
00:59:07,575 --> 00:59:07,807
other options for us to work

1911
00:59:07,807 --> 00:59:08,410
with

1912
00:59:08,410 --> 00:59:08,375
you.

1913
00:59:08,375 --> 00:59:10,375
Thank you.

1914
00:59:12,281 --> 00:59:13,810
>> thank you.

1915
00:59:13,810 --> 00:59:13,282
>> is there anyone else here

1916
00:59:13,282 --> 00:59:15,282
for

1917
00:59:30,596 --> 00:59:31,228
public comment?

1918
00:59:31,228 --> 00:59:33,228
>> good afternoon, council.

1919
00:59:36,501 --> 00:59:37,170
Kerry robertson-meyer.

1920
00:59:37,170 --> 00:59:37,368
I stand with the taxpayers and

1921
00:59:37,368 --> 00:59:39,368
the

1922
00:59:41,239 --> 00:59:41,437
neighborhood first people and

1923
00:59:41,437 --> 00:59:42,750
the

1924
00:59:42,750 --> 00:59:42,306
chapmans in my opinion about

1925
00:59:42,306 --> 00:59:42,940
this,

1926
00:59:42,940 --> 00:59:44,644
and it's basically an opinion

1927
00:59:44,644 --> 00:59:44,907
because all the facts are

1928
00:59:44,907 --> 00:59:46,907
behind

1929
00:59:47,510 --> 00:59:50,281
the green wall heater in

1930
00:59:50,281 --> 00:59:50,579
executive

1931
00:59:50,579 --> 00:59:52,579
session.

1932
00:59:53,249 --> 00:59:53,818
It -- until you can bring those

1933
00:59:53,818 --> 00:59:54,860
facts forward when you're

1934
00:59:54,860 --> 00:59:56,860
sitting

1935
00:59:58,987 --> 01:00:01,987
in these chairs here, until

1936
01:00:02,291 --> 01:00:02,962
everyone out here is told the

1937
01:00:02,962 --> 01:00:03,159
details, voting for annexation

1938
01:00:03,159 --> 01:00:03,424
was

1939
01:00:03,424 --> 01:00:05,424
wrong.

1940
01:00:05,763 --> 01:00:06,882
That's my opinion.

1941
01:00:06,882 --> 01:00:08,698
We need to fix what we have

1942
01:00:08,698 --> 01:00:09,366
before

1943
01:00:09,366 --> 01:00:12,300
building more, and this is the

1944
01:00:12,300 --> 01:00:14,300
opposite of that.

1945
01:00:15,730 --> 01:00:18,420
Like Mr. Owens said, you should

1946
01:00:18,420 --> 01:00:18,274
have tabled the discussion

1947
01:00:18,274 --> 01:00:20,274
until

1948
01:00:23,813 --> 01:00:24,479
you can bring facts out until

1949
01:00:24,479 --> 01:00:24,678
you're finished, until you have

1950
01:00:24,678 --> 01:00:26,678
an

1951
01:00:27,481 --> 01:00:27,750
agreement, until it's not all a

1952
01:00:27,750 --> 01:00:29,750
secret.

1953
01:00:32,623 --> 01:00:32,820
You're not relying -- or you

1954
01:00:32,820 --> 01:00:34,820
are

1955
01:00:38,390 --> 01:00:38,760
relying on unsubstantiated

1956
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:39,424
information.

1957
01:00:39,424 --> 01:00:39,664
It's just what people stand up

1958
01:00:39,664 --> 01:00:41,664
here

1959
01:00:41,667 --> 01:00:42,263
and say.

1960
01:00:42,263 --> 01:00:44,533
I'd like to ask you to not

1961
01:00:44,533 --> 01:00:46,533
double

1962
01:00:48,801 --> 01:00:49,135
your mistake by doubling the

1963
01:00:49,135 --> 01:00:49,736
annexation.

1964
01:00:49,736 --> 01:00:50,300
We are already in the steep

1965
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:50,671
enough,

1966
01:00:50,671 --> 01:00:54,271
and the new counsel in January

1967
01:01:00,647 --> 01:01:00,881
we'll have to deal with it

1968
01:01:00,881 --> 01:01:01,483
then.

1969
01:01:01,483 --> 01:01:01,714
So I guess it's obvious I'm

1970
01:01:01,714 --> 01:01:02,351
very

1971
01:01:02,351 --> 01:01:02,585
disappointed in the direction

1972
01:01:02,585 --> 01:01:04,449
that

1973
01:01:04,449 --> 01:01:07,118
our city is going, because I

1974
01:01:07,118 --> 01:01:09,922
believe that we need to do

1975
01:01:09,922 --> 01:01:11,922
infill

1976
01:01:12,156 --> 01:01:12,357
and redevelopment and fill in

1977
01:01:12,357 --> 01:01:14,357
the

1978
01:01:15,620 --> 01:01:15,332
gaps to pay for what we are

1979
01:01:15,332 --> 01:01:17,332
already

1980
01:01:19,263 --> 01:01:19,898
paying for, what we've already

1981
01:01:19,898 --> 01:01:20,500
invested in, and we were just

1982
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:20,732
starting to do that and you

1983
01:01:20,732 --> 01:01:21,332
guys

1984
01:01:21,332 --> 01:01:21,967
started talking about this.

1985
01:01:21,967 --> 01:01:23,435
We were just starting to talk

1986
01:01:23,435 --> 01:01:24,103
about

1987
01:01:24,103 --> 01:01:26,503
residential streets and fixing

1988
01:01:26,505 --> 01:01:27,105
what

1989
01:01:27,105 --> 01:01:27,369
we have and everything was

1990
01:01:27,369 --> 01:01:29,369
looking

1991
01:01:30,308 --> 01:01:30,543
good, and then the focus went

1992
01:01:30,543 --> 01:01:30,809
way

1993
01:01:30,809 --> 01:01:32,809
south.

1994
01:01:34,476 --> 01:01:35,111
That's wrong.

1995
01:01:35,111 --> 01:01:35,746
Please don't double annex and

1996
01:01:35,746 --> 01:01:38,146
thievery -- please reconsider

1997
01:01:39,816 --> 01:01:40,719
your

1998
01:01:40,719 --> 01:01:41,850
first conclusion

1999
01:01:41,850 --> 01:01:41,786
>> thank you.

2000
01:01:41,786 --> 01:01:42,850
Is there anyone else for public

2001
01:01:42,850 --> 01:01:44,850
comment?

2002
01:01:45,791 --> 01:01:48,791
We'll go to item number 18.

2003
01:02:55,222 --> 01:02:57,222
.

2004
01:03:00,629 --> 01:03:01,326
>>> the passage of ordinance

2005
01:03:01,326 --> 01:03:03,727
number 18 on the first reading.

2006
01:03:03,727 --> 01:03:03,996
>> they are martinez [Roll

2007
01:03:03,996 --> 01:03:05,996

2008

>> ordinance passes.

2009
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:14,575

>> item number 19.

2011
01:03:22,215 --> 01:03:24,615
>> good afternoon, Madam Mayor,

2012
01:03:25,514 --> 01:03:28,288
and west pierson -- wes person,

2013
01:03:28,288 --> 01:03:28,921
assistant city manager, item

2014
01:03:28,921 --> 01:03:30,886
number 19 is a first reading

2015
01:03:30,886 --> 01:03:31,922
ordinance approving the lease

2016
01:03:31,922 --> 01:03:34,322
purchase agreement between the

2017
01:03:34,693 --> 01:03:37,693
city and the texas state

2018
01:03:38,629 --> 01:03:39,296
aquarium.

2019
01:03:39,296 --> 01:03:40,394
We initially presented this on

2020
01:03:40,394 --> 01:03:43,133
September 30th, the concept and

2021
01:03:43,133 --> 01:03:45,734
I would like to remind you of

2022
01:03:45,734 --> 01:03:46,734
some of the things

2023
01:03:46,734 --> 01:03:50,334
that we talked about on that

2024
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:50,939
date.

2025
01:03:50,939 --> 01:03:51,541
This is a significant

2026
01:03:51,541 --> 01:03:53,575
investment the texas state

2027
01:03:53,575 --> 01:03:55,975
aquarium is making expanding

2028
01:03:56,678 --> 01:03:58,748
the current building by 65,000

2029
01:03:58,748 --> 01:04:01,748
square feet and walk through

2030
01:04:02,382 --> 01:04:05,520
the lease purchase terms. It

2031
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,590
will be a 50 year lease and the

2032
01:04:08,590 --> 01:04:09,260
requirement would be they offer

2033
01:04:09,260 --> 01:04:11,126
the association some of the

2034
01:04:11,126 --> 01:04:13,126
continuing offering the

2035
01:04:15,894 --> 01:04:16,566
facilities.

2036
01:04:16,566 --> 01:04:17,640
There's no financial obligation

2037
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:17,700
for the city and the

2038
01:04:17,700 --> 01:04:18,134
association May exercise the

2039
01:04:18,134 --> 01:04:20,134
option to purchase

2040
01:04:23,368 --> 01:04:24,350
plan improvement after -- first

2041
01:04:24,350 --> 01:04:25,438
they have to spend the minimum

2042
01:04:25,438 --> 01:04:27,838
of $45,000 investment and they

2043
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:29,910
have to complete the expansion

2044
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:33,460
and open to the public and

2045
01:04:33,460 --> 01:04:34,113
third you need to complete the

2046
01:04:34,113 --> 01:04:36,182
payment of outstanding debt

2047
01:04:36,182 --> 01:04:38,182
obligation.

2048
01:04:40,187 --> 01:04:41,553
The city sold revenue tax

2049
01:04:41,553 --> 01:04:44,553
obligation notes that they have

2050
01:04:46,259 --> 01:04:47,691
been paying forever since their

2051
01:04:47,691 --> 01:04:49,263
then diligently and they have

2052
01:04:49,263 --> 01:04:49,929
to finalize the payment on tax

2053
01:04:49,929 --> 01:04:51,929
notes.

2054
01:04:53,765 --> 01:04:54,435
>>> additionally the provisions

2055
01:04:54,435 --> 01:04:55,265
will be -- fund provisions will

2056
01:04:55,265 --> 01:04:58,265
be placed in special warranty

2057
01:04:58,338 --> 01:04:59,869
to protect the intended use of

2058
01:04:59,869 --> 01:05:01,869
the facility.

2059
01:05:04,309 --> 01:05:04,979
If there was a desire for the

2060
01:05:04,979 --> 01:05:06,510
texas state aquarium to sell it

2061
01:05:06,510 --> 01:05:10,110
in the future the city will

2062
01:05:10,314 --> 01:05:11,215
have the right of up refusal

2063
01:05:11,215 --> 01:05:13,251
for the purchase and the land

2064
01:05:13,251 --> 01:05:13,885
of improvements.

2065
01:05:13,885 --> 01:05:16,285
Second there's a requirement

2066
01:05:16,790 --> 01:05:20,889
for the city to repay -- for

2067
01:05:20,889 --> 01:05:21,560
them to repay the city the

2068
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,960
initial $14.5 million that the

2069
01:05:25,229 --> 01:05:29,429
city put in that it was built

2070
01:05:29,468 --> 01:05:30,432
in the late 80's.

2071
01:05:30,432 --> 01:05:31,710
The special warranty deed

2072
01:05:31,710 --> 01:05:33,971
required that there will be a

2073
01:05:33,971 --> 01:05:35,971
75 year restricted covenant

2074
01:05:36,575 --> 01:05:39,575
that will require the facility

2075
01:05:41,109 --> 01:05:41,743
to be operated as an aquarium,

2076
01:05:41,743 --> 01:05:42,413
there will be a referred her

2077
01:05:42,413 --> 01:05:43,813
clause in place and there was a

2078
01:05:43,813 --> 01:05:45,816
violation of that restrictive

2079
01:05:45,816 --> 01:05:47,715
covenant been the land and

2080
01:05:47,715 --> 01:05:48,251
improvements will revert active

2081
01:05:48,251 --> 01:05:49,517
ownership of -- to the

2082
01:05:49,517 --> 01:05:51,721
ownership of the city.

2083
01:05:51,721 --> 01:05:54,721
I believe there's a wastewater

2084
01:05:54,723 --> 01:05:56,726
-- solid stormwater drain that

2085
01:05:56,726 --> 01:05:59,227
is currently in the footprint

2086
01:05:59,227 --> 01:06:01,950
of the property and part of it

2087
01:06:01,950 --> 01:06:01,963
is

2088
01:06:01,963 --> 01:06:02,732
underneath the existing

2089
01:06:02,732 --> 01:06:05,132
aquarium and the expansion

2090
01:06:08,635 --> 01:06:09,306
built over it again the texas

2091
01:06:09,306 --> 01:06:11,238
association will be required to

2092
01:06:11,238 --> 01:06:12,175
maintain and repair that.

2093
01:06:12,175 --> 01:06:15,475
And if there was a desire to

2094
01:06:15,475 --> 01:06:18,475
relocate that line they will

2095
01:06:19,945 --> 01:06:20,585
have to pay for that and also

2096
01:06:20,585 --> 01:06:21,800
provide the easeman necessary

2097
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,480
to make that happen.

2098
01:06:27,791 --> 01:06:28,124
>> our work on the agreement is

2099
01:06:28,124 --> 01:06:28,623
finalized.

2100
01:06:28,623 --> 01:06:31,623
We have it for your

2101
01:06:32,889 --> 01:06:33,527
consideration today and he will

2102
01:06:33,527 --> 01:06:34,195
be the first reading for the

2103
01:06:34,195 --> 01:06:34,858
ordinance in the second reading

2104
01:06:34,858 --> 01:06:36,197
is required by the city charter

2105
01:06:36,197 --> 01:06:39,197
will take place on November 18

2106
01:06:41,733 --> 01:06:42,669
of this year and the final

2107
01:06:42,669 --> 01:06:46,269
lease will go into effect on

2108
01:06:46,340 --> 01:06:46,937
January 172015.

2109
01:06:46,937 --> 01:06:48,575
I stand ready to answer any

2110
01:06:48,575 --> 01:06:52,460
question you May have and happy

2111
01:06:52,460 --> 01:06:52,946

2112
01:06:52,946 --> 01:06:54,946
public May have.

2113
01:06:55,479 --> 01:06:57,879
>>> Mr. Scott Mr. Scott.

2114
01:06:58,752 --> 01:07:01,456
>> I am glad we are able to

2115
01:07:01,456 --> 01:07:04,821
take a breath. Now we are

2116
01:07:04,821 --> 01:07:05,156
talking about something that's

2117
01:07:05,156 --> 01:07:07,156
very cool.

2118
01:07:08,259 --> 01:07:10,426
I was thinking about the eyes

2119
01:07:10,426 --> 01:07:13,426
firmly focus on the future.

2120
01:07:13,763 --> 01:07:15,264
Our eyes are firmly focused on

2121
01:07:15,264 --> 01:07:16,532
the future.

2122
01:07:16,532 --> 01:07:18,433
So the lexington breaking

2123
01:07:18,433 --> 01:07:20,903
cutting the ribbon on the

2124
01:07:20,903 --> 01:07:23,239
improvement of their facility.

2125
01:07:23,239 --> 01:07:25,639
We have a $45 million

2126
01:07:26,341 --> 01:07:28,741
expansion it texas state

2127
01:07:30,878 --> 01:07:31,551
aquarium, that's phenomenal as

2128
01:07:31,551 --> 01:07:32,147
far as aquarium goes that will

2129
01:07:32,147 --> 01:07:35,147
be talked about across the

2130
01:07:35,319 --> 01:07:36,840
country and in 2015 the project

2131
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:36,952
-- project will come on board

2132
01:07:36,952 --> 01:07:38,952
fully.

2133
01:07:40,386 --> 01:07:43,126
I mean this is a great time to

2134
01:07:43,126 --> 01:07:44,910
be in corpus christi and I want

2135
01:07:44,910 --> 01:07:47,531
to talk about that for a minute

2136
01:07:47,531 --> 01:07:48,128
because we spent the last 20

2137
01:07:48,128 --> 01:07:50,528
minutes talking about some

2138
01:07:51,100 --> 01:07:53,000
negative stuff, this is good

2139
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,370
stuff, corpus needs dues

2140
01:07:55,370 --> 01:07:58,977
delivery and I have no money in

2141
01:07:58,977 --> 01:07:59,607
my pocket by the way.

2142
01:07:59,607 --> 01:08:00,905
My wife carol did not give me

2143
01:08:00,905 --> 01:08:03,305
my allowance this week.

2144
01:08:03,641 --> 01:08:05,147

in the city.

2189
01:09:44,380 --> 01:09:47,380
That's an example in the

2190
01:09:47,708 --> 01:09:48,341
private sector and local

2191
01:09:48,341 --> 01:09:50,741

2192
01:09:51,576 --> 01:09:55,112
I remember years ago -- and all

2193
01:09:55,112 --> 01:09:57,512

2202
01:10:12,732 --> 01:10:13,331
percentage, do you know?

2203
01:10:13,331 --> 01:10:15,133
It's important we tell the

2204
01:10:15,133 --> 01:10:18,133
public because they come and

2205
01:10:18,739 --> 01:10:21,638

What you were talking about was

2265

01:12:40,835 --> 01:12:43,420
the employment numbers and we

2267
01:12:43,420 --> 01:12:45,243

01:12:55,418 --> 01:12:57,190
we're trying to do with

2276
01:12:57,190 --> 01:12:57,987
attracting new business and is

2277
01:12:57,987 --> 01:13:00,959
existing industry at the same

2278
01:13:00,959 --> 01:13:03,659
time. We seem to be in a.

2279
01:13:03,659 --> 01:13:03,959
Where not that we are taking a

2280
01:13:03,959 --> 01:13:05,959
pause, but

2281
01:13:07,895 --> 01:13:08,565
there's been so much activity

2282
01:13:08,565 --> 01:13:09,166
in the past five years that we

2283
01:13:09,166 --> 01:13:10,698
are now working through the

2284
01:13:10,698 --> 01:13:12,604
projects that we have and I

2285
01:13:12,604 --> 01:13:15,600
think that is a very good thing.

2286
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:15,939
If you look around and you are

2287
01:13:15,939 --> 01:13:17,436
all familiar because you have

2288
01:13:17,436 --> 01:13:20,141

2289
01:13:20,141 --> 01:13:22,541
you and the state

2290
01:13:27,615 --> 01:13:28,716
tcp oh four -- those projects

2291
01:13:28,716 --> 01:13:30,315
are already under construction,

2292
01:13:30,315 --> 01:13:32,388
tcp oh is on the second page

2293
01:13:32,388 --> 01:13:35,388
already. If you haven't been

2294
01:13:35,821 --> 01:13:36,856

2295
01:13:36,856 --> 01:13:39,560
made amazing projects in -- and

2296
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:41,561
the last time I talk to them

2297
01:13:41,561 --> 01:13:44,561
that expected to be finished

2298
01:13:45,650 --> 01:13:45,700
before the end of next year.

2299
01:13:45,700 --> 01:13:48,100
Tremendous amount of activity

2300
01:13:48,100 --> 01:13:50,667
on the existing industry, both

2301
01:13:50,667 --> 01:13:53,670
our existing base, whether

2303
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:56,675

01:14:05,151 --> 01:14:05,716
and claims and traffic or are

2308
01:14:05,716 --> 01:14:06,387
all proceeding with major

2309
01:14:06,387 --> 01:14:09,688
projects in those -- and those

2310
01:14:09,688 --> 01:14:10,292
projects are either in

2311
01:14:10,292 --> 01:14:10,954
permitting or construction.

2312
01:14:10,954 --> 01:14:13,354
There's major activity across

2313
01:14:15,193 --> 01:14:15,592
the board and in all sectors of

2314
01:14:15,592 --> 01:14:16,929
the community.

2315
01:14:16,929 --> 01:14:20,529
The city has been a tremendous

2316
01:14:20,730 --> 01:14:21,632
part of those discussions and

2317
01:14:21,632 --> 01:14:23,599
with the way the projects are

2318
01:14:23,599 --> 01:14:26,599
proceeding and the mayor has

2319
01:14:26,637 --> 01:14:27,470
said several times, it really

2320
01:14:27,470 --> 01:14:29,837
wouldn't happen without the

2321
01:14:29,837 --> 01:14:30,771
regional effort with those

2322
01:14:30,771 --> 01:14:33,876

2323
01:14:33,876 --> 01:14:36,148
sides of the ship channel and

2324
01:14:36,148 --> 01:14:39,148
each side of the they

2325
01:14:39,417 --> 01:14:40,490
perceiving.

2326
01:14:40,490 --> 01:14:43,490
Shamir is the biggest project

2327
01:14:43,530 --> 01:14:46,530
of all $13 billion, they have

2328
01:14:46,524 --> 01:14:47,156

2329
01:14:47,156 --> 01:14:49,556

01:14:51,559 --> 01:14:53,295
now in the waiting phase, they

2332
01:14:53,295 --> 01:14:56,640
expect to have the permit first

2333
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:56,867
quarter of 2015 and be under --

2334
01:14:56,867 --> 01:14:59,267
the under construction next

2335
01:14:59,367 --> 01:15:00,268
summer.

2336
01:15:00,268 --> 01:15:02,604
Tremendous amount of activity

2337
01:15:02,604 --> 01:15:04,204
just continues, edc staff is

2338
01:15:04,204 --> 01:15:06,905
continuing to work with your

2339
01:15:06,905 --> 01:15:09,242
staff, with both county sun

2340
01:15:09,242 --> 01:15:10,915
making sure that all of the

2341
01:15:10,915 --> 01:15:13,915
incentives and process are in

2342
01:15:13,915 --> 01:15:16,882
place and we just see a very

2343
01:15:16,882 --> 01:15:19,184
right 2015 and we have several

2344
01:15:19,184 --> 01:15:20,118
new projects that we are

2345
01:15:20,118 --> 01:15:21,119
working on and hope to bring to

2346
01:15:21,119 --> 01:15:23,119
fruition

2347
01:15:25,692 --> 01:15:26,658
in 2015 as we get closer, the

2348
01:15:26,658 --> 01:15:30,258
staff will be briefing you on

2349
01:15:35,332 --> 01:15:36,200
those.

2350
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:36,666
This is in the industry update

2351
01:15:36,666 --> 01:15:37,335
and I mention all that's going

2352
01:15:37,335 --> 01:15:38,400
on and edc, staff and the board

2353
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:38,505
continue to meet with industry

2354
01:15:38,505 --> 01:15:40,170
throughout the region

2355
01:15:40,170 --> 01:15:43,770
and will continue to do that.

2356
01:15:45,470 --> 01:15:48,148
The only note I point out use

2357
01:15:48,148 --> 01:15:50,148
on agricultural workers, 650,

2358
01:15:51,151 --> 01:15:53,685
we see that with cost and

2359
01:15:53,685 --> 01:15:55,685
warehousing.

2360
01:15:56,390 --> 01:15:58,570
A lot of decent year for cotton.

2361
01:15:58,570 --> 01:16:00,257
If you have driven around

2362
01:16:00,257 --> 01:16:02,324
throughout you will see cotton

2363
01:16:02,324 --> 01:16:05,828
starting to be moved and it's a

2364
01:16:05,828 --> 01:16:06,497
major project for this region

2365
01:16:06,497 --> 01:16:09,364
on the agricultural side of the

2366
01:16:09,364 --> 01:16:10,401
port, we will see between now

2367
01:16:10,401 --> 01:16:11,534
and March significant movement

2368
01:16:11,534 --> 01:16:13,534
of

2369
01:16:14,507 --> 01:16:14,772
soybeans and other projects to

2370
01:16:14,772 --> 01:16:16,772
asia.

2371
01:16:17,838 --> 01:16:18,443
A huge crop in the midwest

2372
01:16:18,443 --> 01:16:19,942
which will be moving -- be

2373
01:16:19,942 --> 01:16:23,542
moving here biovail and we will

2374
01:16:23,615 --> 01:16:25,615
supplement that 650 person

2375
01:16:25,813 --> 01:16:25,983
number over the next six months

2376
01:16:25,983 --> 01:16:27,983
.

2377
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:29,450
>>> I will be glad to answer

2378
01:16:29,450 --> 01:16:31,860
any questions.

2379
01:16:31,860 --> 01:16:33,860
>> Mr. Scott.

2380
01:16:36,994 --> 01:16:39,326
>> some of the second phase of

2381
01:16:39,326 --> 01:16:42,898
tip co-is much larger than the

2382
01:16:42,898 --> 01:16:43,734
first phase. Oh, my God

2383
01:16:43,734 --> 01:16:46,734
that's monumental and you go

2384
01:16:46,766 --> 01:16:47,304
know what to you see second, is

2385
01:16:47,304 --> 01:16:49,304
there a relationship?

2386
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:52,542
>> what you see is probably 10%

2387
01:16:52,542 --> 01:16:54,542
final construction.

2388
01:16:58,512 --> 01:16:59,182
>> just imagine 90% more the

2389
01:16:59,182 --> 01:17:02,785
mayor and I were there about a

2390
01:17:02,785 --> 01:17:03,416
year and a half ago and toward

2391
01:17:03,416 --> 01:17:04,984
their plant and she knows the

2392
01:17:04,984 --> 01:17:05,351
size of the plant. It's

2393
01:17:05,351 --> 01:17:07,351
incredible.

2394
01:17:11,389 --> 01:17:12,610
I should have

2395
01:17:12,610 --> 01:17:12,760
mentioned tcpo that will have a

2396
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:15,630
10-inch and economic council on

2397
01:17:15,630 --> 01:17:18,596
thursday. They want to sign an

2398
01:17:18,596 --> 01:17:19,899
mou with the region and the

2399
01:17:19,899 --> 01:17:22,100
mayor was there a year and a

2400
01:17:22,100 --> 01:17:26,201
half ago and roland mauer and i

2401
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:28,275
were there would would -- and

2402
01:17:28,275 --> 01:17:30,511
those I know in August and we

2403
01:17:30,511 --> 01:17:31,410
met with the group again and

2404
01:17:31,410 --> 01:17:33,443
this is commission for the

2405
01:17:33,443 --> 01:17:36,345
whole region and it's a very

2406
01:17:36,345 --> 01:17:37,815
large very large economic

2407
01:17:37,815 --> 01:17:39,815
development,

2408
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,920
they are bringing people this

2409
01:17:43,521 --> 01:17:44,889
week to look at the second tier

2410
01:17:44,889 --> 01:17:45,823
of tcpo.

2411
01:17:45,823 --> 01:17:47,660
What other industries can we

2412
01:17:47,660 --> 01:17:49,665
attract in the region --

2413
01:17:49,665 --> 01:17:52,428
region not just related to

2414
01:17:52,428 --> 01:17:53,297
tcpo, but want to get a

2415
01:17:53,297 --> 01:17:55,798
foothold in the united states

2416
01:17:55,798 --> 01:17:56,704
and north america. We will be

2417
01:17:56,704 --> 01:17:58,771
having some meetings later this

2418
01:17:58,771 --> 01:18:01,506
week and hopeful that the next

2419
01:18:01,506 --> 01:18:05,106
step which we look far beyond

2420
01:18:06,740 --> 01:18:09,740
tcpo will happen very soon.

2421
01:18:09,311 --> 01:18:09,947
>>> I was laughing the other

2422
01:18:09,947 --> 01:18:13,547
day I felt the number was 31

2423
01:18:14,850 --> 01:18:14,716
billion in development and

2424
01:18:14,716 --> 01:18:15,349
Chairman Holly said it was 32

2425
01:18:15,349 --> 01:18:17,819
billion the only thing I can

2426
01:18:17,819 --> 01:18:19,890
think of was 30, 31 billion got

2427
01:18:19,890 --> 01:18:24,900
together and had a baby and the

2428
01:18:28,395 --> 01:18:28,998
joey the numbers growing,

2429
01:18:28,998 --> 01:18:29,666
growing a billion here or a

2430
01:18:29,666 --> 01:18:30,263
billion there and I don't know

2431
01:18:30,263 --> 01:18:33,263
any other community in the

2432
01:18:33,469 --> 01:18:34,405
country that's talking about

2433
01:18:34,405 --> 01:18:36,805
32 billion, places like san

2434
01:18:38,710 --> 01:18:39,241
francisco or los angeles can

2435
01:18:39,241 --> 01:18:41,411
say -- say stuff like 32

2436
01:18:41,411 --> 01:18:42,340
billion.

2437
01:18:42,340 --> 01:18:45,515
We get kind of wrapped up, we

2438
01:18:45,515 --> 01:18:48,346
get none because it went from 31

2439
01:18:48,346 --> 01:18:50,583
to 32 and we get wrapped up in

2440
01:18:50,583 --> 01:18:51,549
negative seeing things and

2441
01:18:51,549 --> 01:18:53,949
people outside of corpus

2442
01:18:59,323 --> 01:18:59,959
christi's, they are saying

2443
01:18:59,959 --> 01:19:00,593
what is happening down there

2444
01:19:00,593 --> 01:19:01,259
and certainly because of us,

2445
01:19:01,259 --> 01:19:02,262
no, because of the work you do

2446
01:19:02,262 --> 01:19:04,262
and edc.

2447
01:19:06,990 --> 01:19:10,336
I want to -- roland and I are

2448
01:19:10,336 --> 01:19:11,403
good close personal friends.

2449
01:19:11,403 --> 01:19:14,403
He is leaving san antonio

2450
01:19:16,976 --> 01:19:17,641
tomorrow to go on a trip.

2451
01:19:17,641 --> 01:19:19,110
>> I know he is already there.

2452
01:19:19,110 --> 01:19:22,110
>> ways to travel together and

2453
01:19:22,116 --> 01:19:24,250
paid my own way by the way.

2454
01:19:24,250 --> 01:19:26,850
He's a close personal friend.

2455
01:19:26,850 --> 01:19:29,250
This organization has not

2456
01:19:30,255 --> 01:19:30,890
missed a beat. You came on

2457
01:19:30,890 --> 01:19:34,490
board and shepherd in and you

2458
01:19:36,462 --> 01:19:36,962
have not missed a beat and

2459
01:19:36,962 --> 01:19:37,325
economic development

2460
01:19:37,325 --> 01:19:38,596
corporation.

2461
01:19:38,596 --> 01:19:41,650
That's a big thing for me

2462
01:19:41,650 --> 01:19:42,990
representing the city and I

2463
01:19:42,990 --> 01:19:44,499
feel good telling the

2464
01:19:45,602 --> 01:19:46,270
constituents that we have a

2465
01:19:46,270 --> 01:19:47,269
great organization and its not

2466
01:19:47,269 --> 01:19:51,469
-- it's not built on one person

2467
01:19:52,808 --> 01:19:53,443
, it's a team that works. Even

2468
01:19:53,443 --> 01:19:54,460
if one person is not there.

2469
01:19:54,460 --> 01:19:54,810
I want to say thank you for

2470
01:19:54,810 --> 01:19:55,781
your work

2471
01:19:55,781 --> 01:19:59,917
and you have done a great job.

2472
01:19:59,917 --> 01:20:00,848
>> we have an excellent team

2473
01:20:00,848 --> 01:20:02,518
and an excellent board of

2474
01:20:02,518 --> 01:20:04,518
directors.

2475
01:20:04,922 --> 01:20:07,922
They have started the search

2476
01:20:09,325 --> 01:20:10,226
that is underway right now. I

2477
01:20:10,226 --> 01:20:13,226
am hopeful the sooner the

2478
01:20:14,167 --> 01:20:14,828
better,

2479
01:20:14,828 --> 01:20:15,497
that by the end of the year we

2480
01:20:15,497 --> 01:20:16,298
can make a selection for a new

2481
01:20:16,298 --> 01:20:18,698
executive director and someone

2482
01:20:20,667 --> 01:20:24,267
will be on board within 30 to

2483
01:20:25,409 --> 01:20:26,776
45 days after that.

2484
01:20:26,776 --> 01:20:30,130
It's moving well. We expect to

2485
01:20:30,130 --> 01:20:33,130
see some candidates for review

2486
01:20:33,380 --> 01:20:36,190
by the selection committee of

2487
01:20:36,190 --> 01:20:36,181
the edc within the next 60 days

2488
01:20:36,181 --> 01:20:38,181
.

2489
01:20:39,540 --> 01:20:41,454
>> thank you, Mr. Loeb.

2490
01:20:42,688 --> 01:20:43,355
>> I was wondering there's a

2491
01:20:43,355 --> 01:20:47,555
lot of news right now that the

2492
01:20:49,364 --> 01:20:49,997
price of oil is falling.

2493
01:20:49,997 --> 01:20:50,628
What effect do you think that

2494
01:20:50,628 --> 01:20:51,367
hassle believes -- hassle and

2495
01:20:51,367 --> 01:20:52,400
leads we've gotten in a economy

2496
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,400
in general?

2497
01:20:56,333 --> 01:20:56,905
>> so far we haven't -- I

2498
01:20:56,905 --> 01:20:59,203
talked to some of our new

2499
01:20:59,203 --> 01:21:02,400
customers, I haven't talked --

2500
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:05,400
seen anybody say anything that

2501
01:21:06,647 --> 01:21:06,976
they are backing off from

2502
01:21:06,976 --> 01:21:07,612
anything.

2503
01:21:07,612 --> 01:21:08,144
I assume if there's a further

2504
01:21:08,144 --> 01:21:10,150
significant drop in the

2505
01:21:10,150 --> 01:21:13,252
eyes of oil when did you -- you

2506
01:21:13,252 --> 01:21:13,787
got down below 60 that you will

2507
01:21:13,787 --> 01:21:16,787
start start to see some

2508
01:21:17,754 --> 01:21:18,353
slowdown in some of the

2509
01:21:18,353 --> 01:21:18,989
activity and probably some

2510
01:21:18,989 --> 01:21:21,910
impact on some of the natural

2511
01:21:21,910 --> 01:21:23,459
gas projects. Right now

2512
01:21:23,459 --> 01:21:25,859
everybody is proceeding as

2513
01:21:26,331 --> 01:21:26,630
planned and don't foresee any

2514
01:21:26,630 --> 01:21:28,630
changes.

2515
01:21:29,531 --> 01:21:30,367
>> you always wonder how that

2516
01:21:30,367 --> 01:21:32,367
affects the margins.

2534
01:22:17,709 --> 01:22:19,709
project.

2535
01:22:22,500 --> 01:22:22,717
A lot going on. I heard this

2536
01:22:22,717 --> 01:22:23,950
morning there's a lot of growth

2537
01:22:23,950 --> 01:22:25,840
and with growth comes

2538
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:27,484
an opportunity for construction

2539
01:22:28,421 --> 01:22:31,792
projects and we have a really

2540
01:22:31,792 --> 01:22:33,428
dynamic large construction

2541
01:22:33,428 --> 01:22:36,532
program currently and I see we

2542
01:22:36,532 --> 01:22:39,532
should move north with good

2543
01:22:40,498 --> 01:22:41,166
fortune coming up sometime

2544
01:22:41,166 --> 01:22:45,366
after the first of the year we

2545
01:22:45,805 --> 01:22:49,405
hope to get the project underway

2546
01:22:51,676 --> 01:22:52,345
. You have seen a lot of work

2547
01:22:52,345 --> 01:22:52,981
going on in of $700 million in

2548
01:22:52,981 --> 01:22:54,512
investment going on right now

2549
01:22:54,512 --> 01:22:55,182
in the area.

2550
01:22:55,182 --> 01:22:58,782
A list of those projects there

2551
01:22:59,250 --> 01:22:59,884
and whole lot of -- one of the

2552
01:22:59,884 --> 01:23:00,550
things we saw coming in a lot

2553
01:23:00,550 --> 01:23:03,154
of the freeway system and road

2554
01:23:03,154 --> 01:23:03,955
system with the pavement

2555
01:23:03,955 --> 01:23:06,955
condition really below what we

2556
01:23:10,326 --> 01:23:10,964
would want in a freeway system.

2557
01:23:10,964 --> 01:23:11,629
We have gone in and invested

2558
01:23:11,629 --> 01:23:14,629
about 18.7 million in the last

2559
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:20,102
year that's 358 I have a list

2560
01:23:20,102 --> 01:23:21,539
of those and you see work in 386

2561
01:23:21,539 --> 01:23:23,172
in the project on park road 22,

2562
01:23:23,172 --> 01:23:24,420
frontage road near the mall

2563
01:23:24,420 --> 01:23:26,420
area.

2564
01:23:29,914 --> 01:23:30,580
That was an an area were we had

2565
01:23:30,580 --> 01:23:31,114
to pull some funds together we

2566
01:23:31,114 --> 01:23:32,749
used -- use the general

2567
01:23:32,749 --> 01:23:36,349
district funds to take care of

2568
01:23:37,185 --> 01:23:37,784
some of that as well as some

2569
01:23:37,784 --> 01:23:39,523
eto funds and we have that

2570
01:23:39,523 --> 01:23:41,890
going on in the great separation

2571
01:23:41,890 --> 01:23:43,890
at tellico and

2572
01:23:44,992 --> 01:23:46,662
we have some travel lanes and

2573
01:23:46,662 --> 01:23:49,320
upgrading freeways, we have to

2574
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:52,320
design build projects they are

2575
01:23:52,330 --> 01:23:54,969
not in nueces county that they

2576
01:23:54,969 --> 01:23:55,873
are close by.

2577
01:23:55,873 --> 01:23:58,305
To get 69 on the number one

2578
01:23:58,305 --> 01:24:00,705
that's underway, get that

2579
01:24:00,909 --> 01:24:02,709
designation from corpus christi

2580
01:24:02,709 --> 01:24:03,645
into kingsville, that's one --

2581
01:24:03,645 --> 01:24:05,915
this one of the goals of the

2582
01:24:05,915 --> 01:24:09,385
committee and one of our says

2583
01:24:09,385 --> 01:24:10,180
well.

2584
01:24:10,180 --> 01:24:11,717
That's $79 million job if you

2585
01:24:11,717 --> 01:24:12,353
have been to bishop

2586
01:24:12,353 --> 01:24:15,591
we will -- you will see that

2587
01:24:15,591 --> 01:24:16,192
were progressing very well we

2588
01:24:16,192 --> 01:24:18,592
hired a group to design and

2589
01:24:18,592 --> 01:24:21,592
build and there's a short

2590
01:24:22,895 --> 01:24:23,563
maintenance periods tacked onto

2591
01:24:23,563 --> 01:24:26,331
the end of that in that project

2592
01:24:26,331 --> 01:24:26,901
as well as the harbour bridge

2593
01:24:26,901 --> 01:24:29,435
-- harbor bridge, is in

2594
01:24:29,435 --> 01:24:30,335
procurement

2595
01:24:30,335 --> 01:24:32,207
and we have $70 million of

2596
01:24:32,207 --> 01:24:35,207
other design projects that we

2597
01:24:36,373 --> 01:24:39,277
are working on in the largest

2598
01:24:39,277 --> 01:24:42,877
scoped project on that would be

2599
01:24:44,647 --> 01:24:47,647
the ramp reversal. 358 on the

2600
01:24:48,554 --> 01:24:50,954
southbound and eastbound down

2601
01:24:51,990 --> 01:24:52,889
north padre.

2602
01:24:52,889 --> 01:24:56,489
Some of the the surface project

2603
01:24:57,862 --> 01:25:00,829
are listed. You have seen them.

2604
01:25:00,829 --> 01:25:01,799
We have talked numerous town

2605
01:25:01,799 --> 01:25:03,499
time on park road 22 and those

2606
01:25:03,499 --> 01:25:05,538
projects they have a surface

2607
01:25:05,538 --> 01:25:07,538
that are 10 to

2608
01:25:08,173 --> 01:25:10,720
15-years-old and days are

2609
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:12,472
starting to get rough.

2610
01:25:13,379 --> 01:25:14,379
We have sporadic failures.

2611
01:25:14,379 --> 01:25:17,679
We had to do emergency repair

2612
01:25:17,679 --> 01:25:18,247
work.

2613
01:25:18,247 --> 01:25:19,800
You have gotten into that

2614
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,680
heavily and I will not go

2615
01:25:22,798 --> 01:25:25,798
through -- that is something

2616
01:25:26,587 --> 01:25:27,488
that will continue next year.

2617
01:25:27,488 --> 01:25:29,222
286 is one that we would do

2618
01:25:29,222 --> 01:25:31,129
maintenance funds and across

2619
01:25:31,129 --> 01:25:33,529
town going back toward

2620
01:25:35,396 --> 01:25:38,996
loretto street tie in about the

2621
01:25:40,266 --> 01:25:40,938
interchange however it's laid

2622
01:25:40,938 --> 01:25:43,340
out, we don't want to resurface

2623
01:25:43,340 --> 01:25:45,705
something and get it torn back

2624
01:25:45,705 --> 01:25:48,705
up with the harbor project.

2625
01:25:53,712 --> 01:25:56,712
That's high on our priority.

2626
01:25:56,887 --> 01:25:58,686
Great separation and tellico,

2627
01:25:58,686 --> 01:26:01,988
that's a project and po funded

2628
01:26:01,988 --> 01:26:04,792
with prop 12 contractor bae and

2629
01:26:04,792 --> 01:26:07,792
that is working well and $13

2630
01:26:08,829 --> 01:26:09,433
million job.

2631
01:26:09,433 --> 01:26:10,280
We hope to have that thing

2632
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:12,428
completed late spring early

2633
01:26:13,869 --> 01:26:14,432
summer of next year.

2634
01:26:14,432 --> 01:26:17,432
It is driven by safety.

2635
01:26:18,169 --> 01:26:22,674
As well as the plan to get a

2636
01:26:22,674 --> 01:26:24,674
controlled facility eventually.

2637
01:26:24,745 --> 01:26:26,745
2444 staples street.

2638
01:26:27,584 --> 01:26:31,184
That project some time back, it

2639
01:26:31,716 --> 01:26:32,316
was a prop 12 project and we

2640
01:26:32,316 --> 01:26:32,917
had time restriction on the

2641
01:26:32,917 --> 01:26:35,917
funding and the city worked

2642
01:26:36,387 --> 01:26:37,550
with us and we had right-of-way

2643
01:26:37,550 --> 01:26:37,657
to purchase and we are getting

2644
01:26:37,657 --> 01:26:40,657
very close to having that

2645
01:26:42,629 --> 01:26:43,497
wrapped up and -- will be

2646
01:26:43,497 --> 01:26:45,929
building that and we are

2647
01:26:45,929 --> 01:26:47,929
targeting mid-November and

2648
01:26:48,764 --> 01:26:50,764
anticipate completion.

2649
01:26:50,833 --> 01:26:53,233
It's about 2.5 year project.

2650
01:26:54,570 --> 01:26:55,206
It's an urban project you are

2651
01:26:55,206 --> 01:26:55,772
building how far road at a --

2652
01:26:55,772 --> 01:26:58,709
half a road at a time and

2653
01:26:58,709 --> 01:27:00,709
maintaining traffic volume.

2654
01:27:02,682 --> 01:27:03,613
Running around 7500 and that

2655
01:27:03,613 --> 01:27:06,130
project is about $24.4 million

2656
01:27:10,119 --> 01:27:10,784
project on whoever wrote the

2657
01:27:10,784 --> 01:27:13,391
project is been underway for a

2658
01:27:13,391 --> 01:27:16,240
while we started in January 14

2659
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:16,694
and the limits go from 2861

2660
01:27:16,694 --> 01:27:19,940
yorktown boulevard and building

2661
01:27:19,632 --> 01:27:22,468
a five lane urban section.

2662
01:27:22,468 --> 01:27:24,334
They're building that project

2663
01:27:24,334 --> 01:27:26,334
and we anticipate

2664
01:27:28,700 --> 01:27:29,173
construction next spring and

2665
01:27:29,173 --> 01:27:31,173
that's roughly $9.9 million

2666
01:27:35,142 --> 01:27:35,809
project.

2667
01:27:35,809 --> 01:27:38,779
The one in 361 -- one that is

2668
01:27:38,779 --> 01:27:39,780
important important --

2669
01:27:39,780 --> 01:27:42,554
that will make an urban section

2670
01:27:42,554 --> 01:27:45,353
and add pedestrian pass it goes

2671
01:27:45,353 --> 01:27:48,353
from avenue g-tube beach access

2672
01:27:49,954 --> 01:27:50,625
road one and he will be similar

2673
01:27:50,625 --> 01:27:51,289
to weber road project where we

2674
01:27:51,289 --> 01:27:52,561
have four lanes with a raised

2675
01:27:52,561 --> 01:27:55,561
median and curb and gutter

2676
01:27:56,131 --> 01:27:58,531
section and protected left

2677
01:28:00,134 --> 01:28:02,970
turns and -- we are starting

2678
01:28:02,970 --> 01:28:03,836
work in building the project

2679
01:28:03,836 --> 01:28:07,436
and they will be starting in

2680
01:28:07,672 --> 01:28:08,339
November.

2681
01:28:08,339 --> 01:28:09,100
It will take roughly two years

2682
01:28:09,100 --> 01:28:12,610
to build and it's a $13 million

2683
01:28:15,460 --> 01:28:15,848
project to get onto 86 project

2684
01:28:15,848 --> 01:28:18,152
it's our largest project

2685
01:28:18,152 --> 01:28:21,152
underway in the city, extending

2686
01:28:21,420 --> 01:28:24,420
the freeway out from saratoga

2687
01:28:24,456 --> 01:28:26,856
to weber. The contractor

2688
01:28:27,660 --> 01:28:28,595
contractor -- they began working

2689
01:28:28,595 --> 01:28:30,694
in March of this year and

2690
01:28:30,694 --> 01:28:34,294
completion date I wish it was

2691
01:28:38,734 --> 01:28:39,403
winter of 15, it is --

2692
01:28:39,403 --> 01:28:41,270
optimistically between you and

2693
01:28:41,270 --> 01:28:43,907
me I would love to be in the

2694
01:28:43,907 --> 01:28:47,130
end, but we are looking at

2695
01:28:47,130 --> 01:28:49,130
2017, a three-year project.

2696
01:28:52,417 --> 01:28:53,140
That's optimism, it will be the

2697
01:28:53,140 --> 01:28:55,414
full complement freeway and

2698
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,520
have overpasses at -- landfill

2699
01:29:04,129 --> 01:29:05,630
as well as weber road.

2700
01:29:05,630 --> 01:29:07,794
I 69, I highlight the two

2701
01:29:07,794 --> 01:29:08,533
projects, it's part of our goal

2702
01:29:08,533 --> 01:29:10,933
to get the interstate

2703
01:29:11,670 --> 01:29:12,134
designation down to kingsville

2704
01:29:12,134 --> 01:29:14,534
and ultimately further south

2705
01:29:18,750 --> 01:29:18,706
into the valley and they are

2706
01:29:18,706 --> 01:29:19,578
building a portion from state

2707
01:29:19,578 --> 01:29:20,741
highway 40 -- state highway

2708
01:29:20,741 --> 01:29:23,446
442892 in -- and the project

2709
01:29:23,446 --> 01:29:26,446
has been going on since

2710
01:29:27,517 --> 01:29:30,517
13 and we should be completed

2711
01:29:31,219 --> 01:29:31,854
close to next year and it's

2712
01:29:31,854 --> 01:29:33,854
11.3 million another project

2713
01:29:35,489 --> 01:29:38,489
adjacent of that moving south

2714
01:29:39,495 --> 01:29:40,459
from f and 892 in robstown

2715
01:29:40,459 --> 01:29:41,530
2886, austin bridge and their

2716
01:29:41,530 --> 01:29:43,530
limited

2717
01:29:55,870 --> 01:29:55,325
>>> whenever you're ready,

2718
01:29:55,325 --> 01:29:57,325
rick.

2719
01:30:08,769 --> 01:30:09,400
>> sorry, Mr. -- can you

2720
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:09,967
confirm only because I don't

2721
01:30:09,967 --> 01:30:10,637
see a live screen, is it

2722
01:30:10,637 --> 01:30:11,302
because I see the presentation

2723
01:30:11,302 --> 01:30:11,706
does it mean we are ready to go?

2724
01:30:11,706 --> 01:30:12,370
On the screen?

2725
01:30:12,370 --> 01:30:14,370
Thank you.

2726
01:30:17,739 --> 01:30:18,344
>> there we are.

2727
01:30:18,344 --> 01:30:18,875
Let's go and move forward,

2728
01:30:18,875 --> 01:30:21,275
thank you, Ms. Womack.

2729
01:30:25,247 --> 01:30:27,952
>> I have as I was mentioning

2730
01:30:27,952 --> 01:30:31,552
there's a lot of emphasis going

2731
01:30:31,857 --> 01:30:36,570
on on I 69, we will be left

2732
01:30:37,328 --> 01:30:37,994
with the cap that driscoll on

2733
01:30:37,994 --> 01:30:40,661
we will complete the connection

2734
01:30:40,661 --> 01:30:41,935
between robstown arai 37 and

2735
01:30:41,935 --> 01:30:43,935
kingsville.

2736
01:30:46,234 --> 01:30:47,139
That project is in the process

2737
01:30:47,139 --> 01:30:49,771
of getting into the right of

2738
01:30:49,771 --> 01:30:50,439
acquisition they have coming to

2739
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:51,109
agreement with the county to --

2740
01:30:51,109 --> 01:30:53,311
county to contribute funds on

2741
01:30:53,311 --> 01:30:55,711
that to pay the 10%.

2742
01:30:56,113 --> 01:30:59,647
We have the maps and we will be

2743
01:30:59,647 --> 01:31:02,470
going to purchasing the

2744
01:31:03,887 --> 01:31:06,887
property in the near future.

2745
01:31:10,422 --> 01:31:11,600
This is a shot of the project I

2746
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:11,623
mentioned earlier the design

2747
01:31:11,623 --> 01:31:12,494
build project showing you

2748
01:31:12,494 --> 01:31:13,940
kingsville looking north on a

2749
01:31:13,940 --> 01:31:14,500
-- and the project is well

2750
01:31:14,500 --> 01:31:18,100
underway at this point and it's

2751
01:31:18,866 --> 01:31:21,866
a design build between austin

2752
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:23,105
bridge and road and a limited.

2753
01:31:23,105 --> 01:31:25,105
Pardon me?

2754
01:31:27,406 --> 01:31:28,377
The harbor bridge,

2755
01:31:28,377 --> 01:31:30,847
we have worked it, there's been

2756
01:31:30,847 --> 01:31:32,847
a tremendous working

2757
01:31:35,650 --> 01:31:36,318
relationship with the city staff

2758
01:31:36,318 --> 01:31:39,219
the port of corpus christi has

2759
01:31:39,219 --> 01:31:42,819
really been a great partner and

2760
01:31:42,953 --> 01:31:44,189
as well as our city and county

2761
01:31:44,189 --> 01:31:46,189
noesis &-ampersand-and sign

2762
01:31:49,893 --> 01:31:51,696
patrizio and we are in the

2763
01:31:51,696 --> 01:31:53,696
environmental process and

2764
01:31:55,537 --> 01:31:56,535
there's work to be done and

2765
01:31:56,535 --> 01:31:59,102
targeting try to get a record

2766
01:31:59,102 --> 01:32:02,702
of decision and we could move

2767
01:32:02,908 --> 01:32:06,508
forward in January of 15 in the

2768
01:32:08,480 --> 01:32:08,979
final request for proposal

2769
01:32:08,979 --> 01:32:09,646
posted October 2nd.

2770
01:32:09,646 --> 01:32:13,246
We have seven proposals come in

2771
01:32:15,784 --> 01:32:16,421
on the project and we go

2772
01:32:16,421 --> 01:32:17,550
through a ranking system and

2773
01:32:17,550 --> 01:32:17,724
four of them move forward and

2774
01:32:17,724 --> 01:32:18,920
we are working with four teams

2775
01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:20,920
of developers

2776
01:32:21,860 --> 01:32:22,494
and it's a design build.

2777
01:32:22,494 --> 01:32:24,600
Basically you have aspects of

2778
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:26,996
the project delivery in one

2779
01:32:26,996 --> 01:32:29,996
contract. They will design it,

2780
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,334
build it, they have inspection

2781
01:32:32,334 --> 01:32:33,403
and we have inspection as well

2782
01:32:33,403 --> 01:32:37,300
and then they will maintain the

2783
01:32:38,409 --> 01:32:40,943
project. It's a signature type

2784
01:32:40,943 --> 01:32:43,343
bridge, very large structure

2785
01:32:46,170 --> 01:32:46,682
and it will be a cable stay

2786
01:32:46,682 --> 01:32:50,320
because of the link of the span

2787
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:53,252
over the channel to cover cover

2788
01:32:53,252 --> 01:32:54,623
-- to have nothing obstructing

2789
01:32:54,623 --> 01:32:57,360
navigation in the harbor and

2790
01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:57,894
ship channel.

2791
01:32:57,894 --> 01:32:58,257
We will have a 25 year

2792
01:32:58,257 --> 01:33:00,257
maintenance.

2793
01:33:01,296 --> 01:33:02,940
On this project and that's

2794
01:33:02,940 --> 01:33:05,565
where we went out in the

2795
01:33:05,565 --> 01:33:07,901
proposal and they will maintain

2796
01:33:07,901 --> 01:33:11,501
the facility to a level of

2797
01:33:13,409 --> 01:33:14,600
satisfaction. To build a high-

2798
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:16,406
quality product because you

2799
01:33:16,708 --> 01:33:17,377
have a long-term maintenance

2800
01:33:17,377 --> 01:33:20,977
which will be cumbersome on the

2801
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:22,314
project of this nature.

2802
01:33:22,314 --> 01:33:22,884
Our target condition award is

2803
01:33:22,884 --> 01:33:25,850
in the March March 2015

2804
01:33:25,850 --> 01:33:27,485
commission meeting. It will

2805
01:33:28,621 --> 01:33:32,221
take about six months maybe less

2806
01:33:35,828 --> 01:33:36,430
for the notice to proceed. It

2807
01:33:36,430 --> 01:33:37,960
will be estimated to begin

2808
01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:37,727
toward the latter part of next

2809
01:33:37,727 --> 01:33:41,166
year a project that will take

2810
01:33:41,166 --> 01:33:41,733
four years to construct and it

2811
01:33:41,733 --> 01:33:42,801
will time to take the old

2812
01:33:42,801 --> 01:33:45,801
structure and approaches to it

2813
01:33:49,506 --> 01:33:53,106
and our schedule is using the

2814
01:33:54,814 --> 01:33:56,814
new structure in 2020.

2815
01:33:58,149 --> 01:34:01,149
Another project -- that's high-

2816
01:34:01,485 --> 01:34:02,286
profile for the npl and the

2817
01:34:02,286 --> 01:34:04,186
community is to do the rep

2818
01:34:04,186 --> 01:34:07,186
reversal and we have the

2819
01:34:08,324 --> 01:34:09,196
project funded for letting the

2820
01:34:09,196 --> 01:34:11,696
January 2016 a year from this

2821
01:34:11,696 --> 01:34:15,296
January and it will reverse the

2822
01:34:16,833 --> 01:34:17,503
ramps on -- weber, everhart,

2823
01:34:17,503 --> 01:34:19,638
staples and we will get as far

2824
01:34:19,638 --> 01:34:22,474
as we can we are in development

2825
01:34:22,474 --> 01:34:23,876
and we don't have final estimate

2826
01:34:23,876 --> 01:34:26,609
we will take the critical one

2827
01:34:26,609 --> 01:34:28,609
first.

2828
01:34:30,978 --> 01:34:31,647
We are taking care of those

2829
01:34:31,647 --> 01:34:32,416
during the holiday season where

2830
01:34:32,416 --> 01:34:35,684
we have severe index and the

2831
01:34:35,684 --> 01:34:36,249
main system

2832
01:34:36,249 --> 01:34:36,786
that's a project and high-

2833
01:34:36,786 --> 01:34:39,186
priority from a safety

2834
01:34:40,124 --> 01:34:43,124
standpoint and traffic flow of

2835
01:34:43,895 --> 01:34:44,895
the loan 358.

2836
01:34:44,895 --> 01:34:46,996
His 30 -- this $38 million

2837
01:34:46,996 --> 01:34:49,996
primarily our largest and feel

2838
01:34:54,934 --> 01:34:55,403
project at this time. I think

2839
01:34:55,403 --> 01:34:55,971
that's all I have.

2840
01:34:55,971 --> 01:34:56,469
I will open up for -- the

2841
01:34:56,469 --> 01:34:58,469
question of dialogue.

2842
01:35:00,474 --> 01:35:02,474
>> Mr. Scott?

2843
01:35:03,375 --> 01:35:04,475
What me through this outside

2844
01:35:04,475 --> 01:35:06,475
again.

2845
01:35:08,613 --> 01:35:09,584
On the south side we have

2846
01:35:09,584 --> 01:35:10,821
extension across town is that

2847
01:35:10,821 --> 01:35:11,750
okay?

2848
01:35:11,750 --> 01:35:13,519
That will be done at the end of

2849
01:35:13,519 --> 01:35:15,519
this year?

2850
01:35:17,555 --> 01:35:19,860
Year 2015 [Laughter] I was

2851
01:35:19,860 --> 01:35:21,860
optimistic area okay.

2852
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:24,797
That is a 44 million.

2853
01:35:24,797 --> 01:35:26,797
>> $45 million.

2854
01:35:29,690 --> 01:35:29,302
>> that will be done by end of

2855
01:35:29,302 --> 01:35:31,350
17?.

2856
01:35:31,350 --> 01:35:33,350
>> yes, sir 17.

2857
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:36,839
>> south staples expansion five

2858
01:35:39,510 --> 01:35:43,110
lanes, how much and how long?

2859
01:35:46,719 --> 01:35:47,286
$24 million, 24 million 20.4 we

2860
01:35:47,286 --> 01:35:48,500
have some right away sin

2861
01:35:48,500 --> 01:35:50,987
utilities we had to get cleared

2862
01:35:50,987 --> 01:35:54,587
it was tied to the proposition

2863
01:35:54,755 --> 01:35:55,491
12 funding and there will be a

2864
01:35:55,491 --> 01:35:58,491
time to get the right-of-way

2865
01:36:00,567 --> 01:36:01,197
and utility adjusted and the

2866
01:36:01,197 --> 01:36:01,864
city has been working with us

2867
01:36:01,864 --> 01:36:02,532
to get the adjustment completed

2868
01:36:02,532 --> 01:36:05,168
and we anticipate the completion

2869
01:36:05,168 --> 01:36:06,204
in summer of 17.

2870
01:36:06,204 --> 01:36:08,705
It's about a 30 months project.

2871
01:36:08,705 --> 01:36:11,944
>> it's going to be finished by

2872
01:36:11,944 --> 01:36:12,874
the same time question.

2873
01:36:12,874 --> 01:36:15,274
>> it will be close.

2874
01:36:17,612 --> 01:36:18,214
>> the challenges you are

2875
01:36:18,214 --> 01:36:19,480
building a 10 little pieces

2876
01:36:19,480 --> 01:36:21,416
because you have to maintain

2877
01:36:21,416 --> 01:36:24,180
traffic itself big fruit print

2878
01:36:24,180 --> 01:36:28,218
to work with it's a lot less

2879
01:36:28,690 --> 01:36:29,890
work, but it's tougher work to

2880
01:36:29,890 --> 01:36:29,725
get reduction.

2881
01:36:29,725 --> 01:36:32,129
>> it's five lane, four lanes

2882
01:36:32,129 --> 01:36:33,270
with continuous?

2883
01:36:33,270 --> 01:36:34,295
>> yes, sir, after you get past

2884
01:36:34,295 --> 01:36:35,361
the curve

2885
01:36:35,361 --> 01:36:36,798
their shoulders on it as well.

2886
01:36:36,798 --> 01:36:38,798
>> okay.

2887
01:36:39,669 --> 01:36:40,539
No center needed right now?

2888
01:36:40,539 --> 01:36:43,539
>> no not in that area.

2889
01:36:45,975 --> 01:36:46,873
>> the weather extension is how

2890
01:36:46,873 --> 01:36:49,273
much and how long.

2891
01:36:53,113 --> 01:36:55,113
>> it's $9.9 million project.

2892
01:36:56,183 --> 01:36:56,415
We will be done sometime next

2893
01:36:56,415 --> 01:36:58,415
year.

2894
01:37:00,155 --> 01:37:02,155
>> spring time of 15.

2895
01:37:03,392 --> 01:37:05,392
>> the fortune.

2896
01:37:07,930 --> 01:37:09,980
>> that the city's doing under

2897
01:37:09,980 --> 01:37:11,498
reconstruction project to tie

2898
01:37:13,901 --> 01:37:15,901
in the site south side grade

2899
01:37:15,901 --> 01:37:17,901
yorktown, staples, everhart

2900
01:37:21,738 --> 01:37:22,339
airline and no -- on the bond

2901
01:37:22,339 --> 01:37:24,911
election, I think if we are

2902
01:37:24,911 --> 01:37:25,814
successful we will complete the

2903
01:37:25,814 --> 01:37:28,814
newly constructed bridge on the

2904
01:37:29,714 --> 01:37:30,385
south side and you are giving

2905
01:37:30,385 --> 01:37:31,150
your improvements and -- doing

2906
01:37:31,150 --> 01:37:32,549
your improvements and we can

2907
01:37:32,549 --> 01:37:34,952
wake up at the end of 2017 and

2908
01:37:34,952 --> 01:37:40,352
go okay you can get from a to b

2909
01:37:42,426 --> 01:37:43,329
in five different ways and not

2910
01:37:43,329 --> 01:37:44,627
have to reconstruct the rack

2911
01:37:44,627 --> 01:37:45,495
and stealing the rough roads.

2912
01:37:45,495 --> 01:37:48,598
I want to thank you for that.

2913
01:37:48,598 --> 01:37:50,172
>> one -- wendy we looked at

2914
01:37:50,172 --> 01:37:51,803
and martin can come for an

2915
01:37:51,803 --> 01:37:53,803
answer

2916
01:37:54,337 --> 01:37:55,307
specific questions, one of the

2917
01:37:55,307 --> 01:37:58,307
challenges, how do we handle

2918
01:37:59,409 --> 01:38:02,120
traffic, you want to be route

2919
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:03,611
weather and then you hit

2920
01:38:03,611 --> 01:38:05,810
another construction project in

2921
01:38:05,810 --> 01:38:05,982
the interchange their, whether

2922
01:38:05,982 --> 01:38:06,347
and to 80 -- weber and 286 cost

2923
01:38:06,347 --> 01:38:08,347
him

2924
01:38:10,953 --> 01:38:12,420
if got milestones to incentivize

2925
01:38:12,420 --> 01:38:14,820
expedite construction, we added

2926
01:38:17,826 --> 01:38:20,698
some lanes left turn lanes.

2927
01:38:20,698 --> 01:38:21,799
Our contractors that we have

2928
01:38:21,799 --> 01:38:24,933
the will be looking for ways to

2929
01:38:24,933 --> 01:38:27,104
extend I traffic you we are

2930
01:38:27,104 --> 01:38:29,504
trying to build it.

2931
01:38:30,704 --> 01:38:34,304
We have a lot of construction

2932
01:38:35,770 --> 01:38:35,708
175 -- been a long time since

2933
01:38:35,708 --> 01:38:38,780
we had a volume like that of

2934
01:38:38,780 --> 01:38:41,952
work and we have looked at how

2935
01:38:41,952 --> 01:38:44,149
we can incentivize. This

2936
01:38:44,149 --> 01:38:46,549
incentivize and adding some

2937
01:38:47,554 --> 01:38:49,554
design features.

2938
01:38:50,540 --> 01:38:53,540
Your union evening commutes and

2939
01:38:53,928 --> 01:38:54,595
morning commutes have you get

2940
01:38:54,595 --> 01:38:55,226
them through their -- their him

2941
01:38:55,226 --> 01:38:56,893
build a left turn lanes first

2942
01:38:56,893 --> 01:38:57,863
and get them place for storage

2943
01:38:57,863 --> 01:39:00,863
and traffic wanted to get

2944
01:39:03,804 --> 01:39:04,437
through I bet you he will make

2945
01:39:04,437 --> 01:39:05,270
adjustments as being in, the

2946
01:39:05,270 --> 01:39:07,270
traffic.

2947
01:39:10,272 --> 01:39:13,872
>> if that's completed -- if we

2948
01:39:18,140 --> 01:39:20,618
have rep reversal, you might

2949
01:39:20,618 --> 01:39:24,218
have people go back down lever,

2950
01:39:24,755 --> 01:39:28,492
staples, to get in the sb id,

2951
01:39:28,492 --> 01:39:30,331
to get on sb id it easier.

2952
01:39:30,331 --> 01:39:32,260
>> they -- it will be very

2953
01:39:32,260 --> 01:39:33,162
similar to what we have in

2954
01:39:33,162 --> 01:39:33,499
front of the mall going

2955
01:39:33,499 --> 01:39:35,467
westbound.

2956
01:39:35,467 --> 01:39:35,696
>> I think those work very

2957
01:39:35,696 --> 01:39:37,696
well.

2958
01:39:37,732 --> 01:39:40,132
>> for safety and efficient.

2959
01:39:43,660 --> 01:39:44,673
>> the lighting of the bridge,

2960
01:39:44,673 --> 01:39:47,242
it's iconic fascinating to hear

2961
01:39:47,242 --> 01:39:48,110
people talk about that is that

2962
01:39:48,110 --> 01:39:49,712
included in the new bridge?

2963
01:39:49,712 --> 01:39:50,813
>>

2964
01:39:50,813 --> 01:39:52,246
we will be some lighting

2965
01:39:52,246 --> 01:39:55,846
features, how they come up with

2966
01:39:56,983 --> 01:39:58,286
it is -- bishop harmon's and

2967
01:39:58,286 --> 01:40:00,686
expectations on the harbor

2968
01:40:01,591 --> 01:40:03,591
bridge.

2969
01:40:05,764 --> 01:40:07,827
I thought it was well done, I

2970
01:40:07,827 --> 01:40:10,227
know we have talked

2971
01:40:11,232 --> 01:40:13,232
scott and mcintyre.

2972
01:40:14,605 --> 01:40:17,605
>> those teams they are trying

2973
01:40:20,420 --> 01:40:22,440
to compete to provide the best

2974
01:40:22,440 --> 01:40:22,943
project project.

2975
01:40:22,943 --> 01:40:25,114
Not just the cheapest cost it's

2976
01:40:25,114 --> 01:40:26,811
the best value in this you

2977
01:40:26,811 --> 01:40:29,811
score these things out be

2978
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:32,252
furnished them -- to prioritize

2979
01:40:32,252 --> 01:40:34,985
these and we work with several

2980
01:40:34,985 --> 01:40:36,524
members. These are really

2981
01:40:36,524 --> 01:40:38,589
important and we furnished that

2982
01:40:38,589 --> 01:40:40,724
is referenced document to the

2983
01:40:40,724 --> 01:40:43,124
development teams to consider.

2984
01:40:44,397 --> 01:40:46,164
>> when the lighting came out I

2985
01:40:46,164 --> 01:40:49,198
was a take it or the leavitt

2986
01:40:49,198 --> 01:40:52,798
kind of guy and people talk

2987
01:40:52,972 --> 01:40:53,639
about it and they talk about it

2988
01:40:53,639 --> 01:40:56,639
in context of other iconic

2989
01:40:56,876 --> 01:40:59,876
structures all over the world,

2990
01:41:03,249 --> 01:41:06,849
my last thought was lights on

2991
01:41:10,686 --> 01:41:11,354
for safety.

2992
01:41:11,354 --> 01:41:12,240
You know there are parts of the

2993
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:12,689
state in country that have the

2994
01:41:12,689 --> 01:41:14,527
concept were you come over and

2995
01:41:14,527 --> 01:41:16,992
sit in certain area and it

2996
01:41:16,992 --> 01:41:19,310
doesn't have adequate or good

2997
01:41:19,310 --> 01:41:22,132
traffic flow as you might want

2998
01:41:22,132 --> 01:41:23,000
and they have the signs that say

2999
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,335
welcome to the island lights on

3000
01:41:25,335 --> 01:41:27,335
for safety and

3001
01:41:29,842 --> 01:41:33,579
it said welcome to port -- just

3002
01:41:33,579 --> 01:41:37,179
the thought of until we get 361

3003
01:41:38,148 --> 01:41:39,180
and we all wanted, it might

3004
01:41:39,180 --> 01:41:41,580
increase safety if everybody

3005
01:41:43,519 --> 01:41:44,318
turns there headlights on.

3006
01:41:44,318 --> 01:41:44,920
That might be a conversation

3007
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:46,920
for you

3008
01:41:52,224 --> 01:41:52,860
in the city. That's the way we

3009
01:41:52,860 --> 01:41:55,129
can provide additional safety

3010
01:41:55,129 --> 01:41:57,568
to a lot of people who come here

3011
01:41:57,568 --> 01:42:00,303
and if they have their

3012
01:42:00,303 --> 01:42:00,666
headlights on it might reduce

3013
01:42:00,666 --> 01:42:02,570
some traffic.

3014
01:42:02,570 --> 01:42:02,907
>> I appreciate that the

3015
01:42:02,907 --> 01:42:04,907
condition.

3016
01:42:07,274 --> 01:42:07,911
>> tonight -- can I interrupt

3017
01:42:07,911 --> 01:42:09,209
for a minute, because there's

3018
01:42:09,209 --> 01:42:12,209
no turning leaner middling the

3019
01:42:12,980 --> 01:42:15,380
shoulders practically nil and

3020
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:17,582
passing is difficult and they

3021
01:42:17,582 --> 01:42:18,351
have two-lane going both ways

3022
01:42:18,351 --> 01:42:20,751
and considering the compounding

3023
01:42:21,218 --> 01:42:22,557
traffic and increase -- the

3024
01:42:22,557 --> 01:42:25,557
increase in tourism and frankly

3025
01:42:26,326 --> 01:42:27,192
in rooftops sure would like to

3026
01:42:27,192 --> 01:42:30,192
see lights on for safety.

3027
01:42:30,363 --> 01:42:30,694
>> I went out there to the

3028
01:42:30,694 --> 01:42:31,897
taste -- .

3029
01:42:31,897 --> 01:42:36,970
To the taste of the island and

3030
01:42:37,836 --> 01:42:40,874
at the port royale and that is

3031
01:42:40,874 --> 01:42:41,738
high-risk area.

3032
01:42:41,738 --> 01:42:44,138
Actually think that something

3033
01:42:44,509 --> 01:42:45,510
we could

3034
01:42:45,510 --> 01:42:48,510
get something achievable in the

3035
01:42:49,147 --> 01:42:51,547
partnership with signs, lights

3036
01:42:51,681 --> 01:42:52,519
on for safety at a minimum that

3037
01:42:52,519 --> 01:42:54,519
would be great.

3038
01:42:57,521 --> 01:42:58,189
>> we do have planned projects

3039
01:42:58,189 --> 01:42:59,325
that's not funded at this time

3040
01:42:59,325 --> 01:43:00,260
but in conjunction that we

3041
01:43:00,260 --> 01:43:02,260
appreciate that.

3042
01:43:02,458 --> 01:43:05,458
>> I think you are doing

3043
01:43:06,327 --> 01:43:08,134
everything you can to improve

3044
01:43:08,134 --> 01:43:10,134
day.

3045
01:43:14,201 --> 01:43:14,838
They could try this concept, I

3046
01:43:14,838 --> 01:43:16,839
love riding a bicycle so I am

3047
01:43:16,839 --> 01:43:20,207
now all into lights if you're

3048
01:43:20,207 --> 01:43:20,843
going to hit me I want to

3049
01:43:20,843 --> 01:43:23,344
eliminate the excuse that you

3050
01:43:23,344 --> 01:43:25,579
did not see me.

3051
01:43:25,579 --> 01:43:26,516
if you turn the lights on it

3052
01:43:26,516 --> 01:43:27,749
provides an extra level of

3053
01:43:27,749 --> 01:43:29,749
safety.

3054
01:43:33,155 --> 01:43:35,555
>> during the day. Obviously

3055
01:43:36,593 --> 01:43:40,193
it's during the night for legal

3056
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:41,729
requirements.

3057
01:43:41,729 --> 01:43:42,332
I want to be clear, that would

3058
01:43:42,332 --> 01:43:44,400
be great if we can do that

3059
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,400
during the day.

3060
01:43:47,868 --> 01:43:48,907
And a good project May be with

3061
01:43:48,907 --> 01:43:50,907
point

3062
01:43:51,975 --> 01:43:52,744
-- you're doing a great job

3063
01:43:52,744 --> 01:43:56,410
thank you for all you're doing.

3064
01:43:56,410 --> 01:43:56,913
>> thank you, Mr. Scott, Ms.

3065
01:43:56,913 --> 01:43:58,913
Ms. Mcintyre.

3066
01:43:59,579 --> 01:44:03,179
>> mike, I am glad you think

3067
01:44:03,618 --> 01:44:06,890
they only hit you if they don't

3068
01:44:06,890 --> 01:44:06,319
see you as opposed to they see

3069
01:44:06,319 --> 01:44:08,319
you.

3070
01:44:08,321 --> 01:44:11,921
>> the lights on -- on for

3071
01:44:13,396 --> 01:44:13,995
safety at 11 not on that, I

3072
01:44:13,995 --> 01:44:14,628
knows 361 we are working on

3073
01:44:14,628 --> 01:44:16,327
improvements in the cap goes

3074
01:44:16,327 --> 01:44:18,633
down and we are looking at for

3075
01:44:18,633 --> 01:44:19,233
the rest and that would be huge

3076
01:44:19,233 --> 01:44:22,233
and they have that comment

3077
01:44:22,269 --> 01:44:24,669
coming from the residents

3078
01:44:25,104 --> 01:44:25,971
recently.

3079
01:44:25,971 --> 01:44:28,105
Thank you for addressing the

3080
01:44:28,105 --> 01:44:30,810
harbor bridge, on the design

3081
01:44:30,810 --> 01:44:34,410
build on the proposal that can

3082
01:44:34,478 --> 01:44:35,147
-- they can come up with ideas

3083
01:44:35,147 --> 01:44:35,813
on what they do differently on

3084
01:44:35,813 --> 01:44:37,515
the original drawing drawing.

3085
01:44:37,515 --> 01:44:41,715
>> they have to approve it is a

3086
01:44:43,358 --> 01:44:44,259
better value and there is when

3087
01:44:44,259 --> 01:44:47,791
you do a project there's a

3088
01:44:47,791 --> 01:44:48,358
footprint and you have the

3089
01:44:48,358 --> 01:44:50,758
movement that you want.

3090
01:44:55,196 --> 01:44:55,964
How they deliver those it's 50%.

3091
01:44:55,964 --> 01:44:56,569
You want to allow innovation

3092
01:44:56,569 --> 01:44:58,969
and creativity through the

3093
01:45:00,505 --> 01:45:01,169
process.

3094
01:45:01,169 --> 01:45:01,805
To me as you witness what goes

3095
01:45:01,805 --> 01:45:04,906
on in one of these from where

3096
01:45:04,906 --> 01:45:05,541
we are at where we have been

3097
01:45:05,541 --> 01:45:06,174
connected to a couple of them

3098
01:45:06,174 --> 01:45:07,277
it's good to have that many

3099
01:45:07,277 --> 01:45:10,248
smart folks working on it

3100
01:45:10,248 --> 01:45:13,313
coming up with it, they have

3101
01:45:13,313 --> 01:45:15,313
latitude.

3102
01:45:18,653 --> 01:45:20,156
There's also the ascetic piece

3103
01:45:20,156 --> 01:45:23,124
of it and access issue and how

3104
01:45:23,124 --> 01:45:25,994
we address those, we struggle

3105
01:45:25,994 --> 01:45:26,898
on how we get them to

3106
01:45:26,898 --> 01:45:28,631
understand where we want to go

3107
01:45:28,631 --> 01:45:29,730
with this

3108
01:45:29,730 --> 01:45:32,170
and we did that through that

3109
01:45:32,170 --> 01:45:32,834
study.

3110
01:45:32,834 --> 01:45:35,200
I read that thing and -- in for

3111
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:38,200
the amount of time very

3112
01:45:39,376 --> 01:45:40,276
thoughtful and gives a vision

3113
01:45:40,276 --> 01:45:43,209
to people -- the people that

3114
01:45:43,209 --> 01:45:44,780
are visionary and we are

3115
01:45:44,780 --> 01:45:47,678
looking out -- level of service

3116
01:45:48,279 --> 01:45:48,916
travel time

3117
01:45:48,916 --> 01:45:49,551
those types of things how can

3118
01:45:49,551 --> 01:45:52,551
you expedite the movement of

3119
01:45:54,185 --> 01:45:56,625
traffic in and out it will be

3120
01:45:56,625 --> 01:45:59,250
an opportunity for high-growth

3121
01:46:00,325 --> 01:46:01,640
in tourism, but also for people

3122
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:01,494
who make the morning and

3123
01:46:01,494 --> 01:46:03,494
evening commute.

3124
01:46:05,663 --> 01:46:07,136
>> thank you.

3125
01:46:07,136 --> 01:46:10,350
Fourth of July and labor day

3126
01:46:10,350 --> 01:46:10,902
were great.

3127
01:46:10,902 --> 01:46:13,902
The traffic did not backup.

3128
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:14,675
We had snacks during

3129
01:46:14,675 --> 01:46:17,750
construction and I appreciate

3130
01:46:18,408 --> 01:46:19,440
all the work you put into it to

3131
01:46:19,440 --> 01:46:19,713
make sure we don't have those

3132
01:46:19,713 --> 01:46:21,444
in the future and the extension

3133
01:46:21,444 --> 01:46:25,440
of the turn lanes are really

3134
01:46:25,782 --> 01:46:26,417
enhance the area and made it

3135
01:46:26,417 --> 01:46:27,860
phenomenal and the fourth of

3136
01:46:27,860 --> 01:46:29,322
July and labor day there's no

3137
01:46:29,322 --> 01:46:32,322
backup that we have previously

3138
01:46:37,300 --> 01:46:39,963
and we appreciate the effort.

3139
01:46:39,963 --> 01:46:42,598
The also parkway when we met

3140
01:46:42,598 --> 01:46:45,135
talk before with the -- the

3141
01:46:45,135 --> 01:46:48,700
signal being put in in.

3142
01:46:48,700 --> 01:46:48,304
>> they did not get the

3143
01:46:48,304 --> 01:46:50,304
language.

3144
01:46:52,750 --> 01:46:52,376
>> the contract has been

3145
01:46:52,376 --> 01:46:54,376
notified.

3146
01:46:55,710 --> 01:46:56,314
>> can we get a schedule?

3147
01:46:56,314 --> 01:46:58,883
We will get you scheduled.

3148
01:46:58,883 --> 01:46:59,882
>> once they break ground.

3149
01:46:59,882 --> 01:47:02,882
On when that will occur.

3150
01:47:05,186 --> 01:47:06,120
>> great.

3151
01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:07,555
that's all I have.

3152
01:47:07,555 --> 01:47:09,555
>> rate thank you.

3153
01:47:20,935 --> 01:47:23,335
>> thank you, Mr. Love.

3154
01:47:25,204 --> 01:47:27,407
>> I want to say that access on

3155
01:47:27,407 --> 01:47:28,945
the harbor bridge is incredibly

3156
01:47:28,945 --> 01:47:30,780
important.

3157
01:47:30,780 --> 01:47:33,180
I said that before.

3158
01:47:33,848 --> 01:47:37,985
The other thing is I think ramp

3159
01:47:37,985 --> 01:47:38,917
reversal is probably going to

3160
01:47:38,917 --> 01:47:42,153
be the most impactful on the

3161
01:47:42,153 --> 01:47:43,457
projects on traffic.

3162
01:47:43,457 --> 01:47:46,758
I drive both sides of the

3163
01:47:46,758 --> 01:47:49,758
highway and the difference in

3164
01:47:49,865 --> 01:47:50,995
safety and traffic flow and

3165
01:47:50,995 --> 01:47:53,995
ease of use is completely

3166
01:47:55,967 --> 01:47:56,603
different on the mall side of it

3167
01:47:56,603 --> 01:47:57,273
in the mall gets more -- and

3168
01:47:57,273 --> 01:48:00,305
the markets more traffic on the

3169
01:48:00,305 --> 01:48:00,872
other side.

3170
01:48:00,872 --> 01:48:04,472
I think that will have an

3171
01:48:04,642 --> 01:48:07,642
impact on that entire area

3172
01:48:10,151 --> 01:48:10,819
three or 4 miles away will

3173
01:48:10,819 --> 01:48:11,381
impact traffic when we get the

3174
01:48:11,381 --> 01:48:14,381
ramp reversal and it will

3175
01:48:14,852 --> 01:48:15,486
impact it for the better

3176
01:48:15,486 --> 01:48:16,560
and I hope that when they get

3177
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:17,820
that done we can work on

3178
01:48:17,820 --> 01:48:18,422
synchronizing the lights

3179
01:48:18,422 --> 01:48:20,959
because I know a lot of the

3180
01:48:20,959 --> 01:48:22,495
issues on the lights is to make

3181
01:48:22,495 --> 01:48:25,164
sure traffic doesn't backup on

3182
01:48:25,164 --> 01:48:25,696
to the highway once we do ramp

3183
01:48:25,696 --> 01:48:27,696
reversal

3184
01:48:30,199 --> 01:48:30,633
we should be able to solve one

3185
01:48:30,633 --> 01:48:32,633
of those issues.

3186
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:35,907
Maybe -- maybe not on staples,

3187
01:48:35,907 --> 01:48:38,145
but the mall plaza like but on

3188
01:48:38,145 --> 01:48:38,740
the other streets and he will

3189
01:48:38,740 --> 01:48:41,243
make a big difference and I

3190
01:48:41,243 --> 01:48:41,915
want to thank you guys

3191
01:48:41,915 --> 01:48:42,278
promoting it as quickly as you

3192
01:48:42,278 --> 01:48:44,278
can on that.

3193
01:48:44,679 --> 01:48:45,617
>> thank you.

3194
01:48:45,617 --> 01:48:47,617
>> Mr. Garza.

3195
01:48:50,200 --> 01:48:50,753
>> along the same line as

3196
01:48:50,753 --> 01:48:51,422
david, I was in the planning

3197
01:48:51,422 --> 01:48:53,758
commission when we started

3198
01:48:53,758 --> 01:48:56,524
talking about the reversal and

3199
01:48:56,524 --> 01:48:57,191
I was confused

3200
01:48:57,191 --> 01:48:58,628
did not know how it would work

3201
01:48:58,628 --> 01:49:01,280
on the ninth pleasantly

3202
01:49:01,263 --> 01:49:03,663
surprised and impressed with

3203
01:49:07,734 --> 01:49:09,104
impact on the north side of 361.

3204
01:49:09,104 --> 01:49:10,740
List -- Mr. Land been acquired

3205
01:49:10,740 --> 01:49:12,740
for the right-of-way.

3206
01:49:14,744 --> 01:49:15,373
>> we are in the process of

3207
01:49:15,373 --> 01:49:15,810
purchasing land I don't know

3208
01:49:15,810 --> 01:49:17,810
what percentage.

3209
01:49:20,147 --> 01:49:20,815
I had -- we have acquired

3210
01:49:20,815 --> 01:49:21,948
several parcels already part of

3211
01:49:21,948 --> 01:49:25,850
the timeline to get the project

3212
01:49:25,850 --> 01:49:25,985
if the clock the funding

3213
01:49:25,985 --> 01:49:26,352
becomes available and we are in

3214
01:49:26,352 --> 01:49:27,321
the process.

3215
01:49:27,321 --> 01:49:29,760
Thank you for that question.

3216
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,760
>> I appreciate all the project

01:49:45,400 --> 01:49:45,638
you to 86 and the projects --

3218
01:49:45,638 --> 01:49:46,237
besides the harbor bridge the

3219
01:49:46,237 --> 01:49:46,741
largest impact will be the

3220
01:49:46,741 --> 01:49:48,741
reversal project.

3221
01:49:49,643 --> 01:49:52,430
>> on the south side.

3222
01:49:52,311 --> 01:49:55,680
Things for all your hard work.

3223
01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:55,947
>> thank you Mr. Garza, Mr.

01:50:03,922 --> 01:50:04,553
magnitude of the world that you

are completing moving forward

3228
01:50:06,861 --> 01:50:09,610
is great. It's a great time in

3229
01:50:09,610 --> 01:50:11,727
corpus christi and your timing

3230
01:50:11,727 --> 01:50:12,628
is impeccable to have gotten

3231
01:50:12,628 --> 01:50:16,133
the funding to make it happen

3232
01:50:16,133 --> 01:50:16,771
today.

3233
01:50:16,771 --> 01:50:18,969
When creek citizen request a

3234
01:50:18,969 --> 01:50:21,204
piece of rebar on the west is

3235
01:50:21,204 --> 01:50:23,604
bay boulevard under the

3236
01:50:24,241 --> 01:50:25,143
overpass that sticking out and

3237
01:50:25,143 --> 01:50:29,343
people who work in the -- there

3238
01:50:31,281 --> 01:50:31,949
each day

3239
01:50:31,949 --> 01:50:32,615
that's a quick citizenry quiz,

3240
01:50:32,615 --> 01:50:33,251
I know that I could've e-mailed

3241
01:50:33,251 --> 01:50:35,840
that to you, but you're here

3242
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:38,684
today we are talking about ramp

3243
01:50:39,490 --> 01:50:40,153
reversal. I know it takes time

3244
01:50:40,153 --> 01:50:40,789
to get things on a project list

3245
01:50:40,789 --> 01:50:44,191
to -- the project was to get

3246
01:50:44,191 --> 01:50:47,791
them funded, but is there --

3247
01:50:48,467 --> 01:50:49,129
their any idea of thought in

3248
01:50:49,129 --> 01:50:52,129
terms of ramp reversal between

3249
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:54,169
baldwin in 19? Baldwin

3250
01:50:54,169 --> 01:50:56,169
important?

3251
01:50:56,303 --> 01:50:57,707
port and horn?

3252
01:50:57,707 --> 01:50:59,707
Onto 86?

3253
01:51:00,708 --> 01:51:02,174
I know there's not a as much

3254
01:51:02,174 --> 01:51:04,848
traffic, but it's very similar,

3255
01:51:04,848 --> 01:51:07,881
some of that will it taken care

3256
01:51:07,881 --> 01:51:09,251
of, the exit on leopard, when

3257
01:51:09,251 --> 01:51:12,251
you start talking about the

3258
01:51:13,550 --> 01:51:13,653
quick -- it's a similar -- this

3259
01:51:13,653 --> 01:51:16,653
a similar problem, but with

3260
01:51:17,990 --> 01:51:18,758
less traffic, it is two, four,

3261
01:51:18,758 --> 01:51:20,758
six years out?

3262
01:51:21,126 --> 01:51:23,966
Where are when are we going to

3263
01:51:23,966 --> 01:51:24,898
look at the ramp reverses?

3264
01:51:24,898 --> 01:51:27,200
I might be wrong on the

3265
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:28,100
location.

3266
01:51:28,100 --> 01:51:31,700
The limit on the new project

3267
01:51:33,173 --> 01:51:33,742
for the interchange the port

3268
01:51:33,742 --> 01:51:34,440
adjacent east of the new

3269
01:51:34,440 --> 01:51:36,574
interchange those ramps will be

3270
01:51:36,574 --> 01:51:40,174
brought up to standard in the

3271
01:51:40,344 --> 01:51:43,179
footprint and the rams met an

3272
01:51:43,179 --> 01:51:46,779
old standard, you don't have a

3273
01:51:46,952 --> 01:51:48,350
lot of distance will be call the

3274
01:51:48,350 --> 01:51:50,750
bridge distance, and the

3275
01:51:53,224 --> 01:51:55,624
footprint from nueces boulevard

3276
01:51:56,694 --> 01:51:57,562
into the inner-city that will

3277
01:51:57,562 --> 01:51:59,566
be addressed as part of the

3278
01:51:59,566 --> 01:52:00,965
design project for the harbor

3279
01:52:00,965 --> 01:52:02,965
bridge.

3280
01:52:03,168 --> 01:52:06,768
We are building a bridge, but

3281
01:52:08,370 --> 01:52:11,370
there's a huge interchange that

3282
01:52:12,879 --> 01:52:13,545
changes a lot of things just

3283
01:52:13,545 --> 01:52:14,212
the sheer magnitude of -- of it

3284
01:52:14,212 --> 01:52:17,812
and building to a higher design

3285
01:52:18,981 --> 01:52:19,615
state and safety standard about

3286
01:52:19,615 --> 01:52:23,815
half of the project up in the

3287
01:52:23,855 --> 01:52:24,486
air and the other half with the

3288
01:52:24,486 --> 01:52:27,486
two connection the beach and,

3289
01:52:27,790 --> 01:52:28,861
that portion is a thing covered

3290
01:52:28,861 --> 01:52:31,620
in the future design along that

3291
01:52:31,620 --> 01:52:33,620
37.

3292
01:52:38,565 --> 01:52:38,899
>> I am talking about -- on

3293
01:52:38,899 --> 01:52:40,899
cost down.

3294
01:52:42,537 --> 01:52:45,273
>> the south the laredo, however

3295
01:52:45,273 --> 01:52:46,139
to schlow impact.

3296
01:52:46,139 --> 01:52:46,410
>> we will need to look at

3297
01:52:46,410 --> 01:52:48,410
those.

3298
01:52:52,413 --> 01:52:53,351
>> I see that as a growth area

3299
01:52:53,351 --> 01:52:56,217
in terms of infield and

3300
01:52:56,217 --> 01:52:58,954
development and I realize two

3301
01:52:58,954 --> 01:53:00,988
oh 46 years that you have to

3302
01:53:00,988 --> 01:53:02,857
start the project send we are

3303
01:53:02,857 --> 01:53:03,960
seeing when hundreds of and

3304
01:53:03,960 --> 01:53:06,360
plus million dollars projects

3305
01:53:07,993 --> 01:53:09,662
because we have the -- 10 years

3306
01:53:09,662 --> 01:53:12,566
ago to make it happen.

3307
01:53:12,566 --> 01:53:13,466
Unless question

3308
01:53:13,466 --> 01:53:15,569
is, you mentioned prop 12 a

3309
01:53:15,569 --> 01:53:19,169
couple times, what is the next

3310
01:53:19,707 --> 01:53:23,907
round of funding for give me an

3311
01:53:24,777 --> 01:53:25,278
idea of how that comes forward.

3312
01:53:25,278 --> 01:53:27,278
Onto 86 extensions --

3313
01:53:28,180 --> 01:53:29,982
extensions have the weber to

3314
01:53:29,982 --> 01:53:32,382
connect the staples 2444 that

3315
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:34,786
would be the next round, what

3316
01:53:34,786 --> 01:53:35,286
are some elements the community

3317
01:53:35,286 --> 01:53:36,685
can look forward to?

3318
01:53:36,685 --> 01:53:39,850
>> the next opportunity for

3319
01:53:42,157 --> 01:53:44,130
funding is in November.

3320
01:53:44,130 --> 01:53:45,650
The proposition which utilizes

3321
01:53:45,650 --> 01:53:48,665
the portion of the rainy days

3322
01:53:51,233 --> 01:53:52,136
and two above the certain cap

3323
01:53:52,136 --> 01:53:53,340
to go into the highway fund to

3324
01:53:53,340 --> 01:53:54,371
build projects

3325
01:53:54,371 --> 01:53:56,371
and road improvements.

3326
01:53:58,877 --> 01:54:01,410
The funding pretty well spent

3327
01:54:01,410 --> 01:54:04,847
-- we have been ability find,

3328
01:54:04,847 --> 01:54:06,815
and prop 12 which been has been

3329
01:54:06,815 --> 01:54:09,385
voted on and to bryan mims

3330
01:54:09,385 --> 01:54:12,385
projects which we are fortunate

3331
01:54:12,723 --> 01:54:16,323
to capitalize on the dash be

3332
01:54:16,825 --> 01:54:17,759
funded by those dollars.

3333
01:54:17,759 --> 01:54:21,359
Depending on the will of the

3334
01:54:23,731 --> 01:54:24,368
public, the projects in the

3335
01:54:24,368 --> 01:54:25,370
planning that we have done is

3336
01:54:25,370 --> 01:54:26,566
financially constrained to the

3337
01:54:26,566 --> 01:54:27,337
infield these are types of

3338
01:54:27,337 --> 01:54:29,838
projects we need to hear so we

3339
01:54:29,838 --> 01:54:32,238
can have advisory committee

3340
01:54:38,677 --> 01:54:39,280
analyze and prioritize those.

3341
01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:39,613
I strongly support the ramp

3342
01:54:39,613 --> 01:54:40,281
reversal.

3343
01:54:40,281 --> 01:54:41,681
That came on a number of years

3344
01:54:41,681 --> 01:54:43,150
ago was the need to look for

3345
01:54:43,150 --> 01:54:45,150
the dollar.

3346
01:54:46,190 --> 01:54:46,652
That's a process that comes

3347
01:54:46,652 --> 01:54:47,553
into input

3348
01:54:47,553 --> 01:54:47,821
that you're given the right

3349
01:54:47,821 --> 01:54:49,821
now.

3350
01:54:50,591 --> 01:54:52,861
>> thank you for your work and

3351
01:54:52,861 --> 01:54:56,461
i was encouraged to see that

3352
01:54:57,129 --> 01:54:58,197
improvements out of -- that

3353
01:54:58,197 --> 01:55:01,400
means that could be continued

3354
01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:03,404
somewhat that some portion.

3355
01:55:05,269 --> 01:55:07,671
>> at least a couple members on

3356
01:55:07,671 --> 01:55:09,773
this, we have long-range that

3357
01:55:09,773 --> 01:55:12,880
we would have a full load

3358
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:15,880
expanded to four legs and

3359
01:55:16,790 --> 01:55:16,679
although sends a high price tag

3360
01:55:16,679 --> 01:55:18,216
. It's a fix community --

3361
01:55:18,216 --> 01:55:21,622
fixed community on both and said

3362
01:55:21,622 --> 01:55:22,219
how you keep traffic moving and

3363
01:55:22,219 --> 01:55:23,691
address the safety concern

3364
01:55:23,691 --> 01:55:26,459
there's an immediacy on that we

3365
01:55:26,459 --> 01:55:28,292
had had a fatality said a

3366
01:55:28,292 --> 01:55:30,692
couple folks who killed

3367
01:55:33,297 --> 01:55:33,630
pedestrian traffic

3368
01:55:33,630 --> 01:55:34,298
recently.

3369
01:55:34,298 --> 01:55:34,934
It's very concerning to us, if

3370
01:55:34,934 --> 01:55:38,534
you have driven in the rural

3371
01:55:42,441 --> 01:55:45,713
section, -- when we are put the

3372
01:55:45,713 --> 01:55:46,574
alternating passingly we have

3373
01:55:46,574 --> 01:55:50,774
seen a huge reduction in hit on

3374
01:55:53,115 --> 01:55:53,751
fatality's you could people out,

3375
01:55:53,751 --> 01:55:54,415
you get behind a slow-moving

3376
01:55:54,415 --> 01:55:55,530
vehicle enjoying the sights and

3377
01:55:55,530 --> 01:55:55,985
people who need -- of people

3378
01:55:55,985 --> 01:55:57,180
who need to go to work or do

3379
01:55:57,180 --> 01:56:00,180
business will take chances and

3380
01:56:00,691 --> 01:56:03,656
ask so we build it -- to those

3381
01:56:03,656 --> 01:56:07,856
in and rebuild a lot of --

3382
01:56:08,366 --> 01:56:09,863
if you take -- we have done

3383
01:56:09,863 --> 01:56:11,900
several and we have seen dress

3384
01:56:11,900 --> 01:56:13,666
reduction in fatality's and

3385
01:56:13,666 --> 01:56:16,504
that will be a short-term short

3386
01:56:16,504 --> 01:56:19,740
to mid term fix you can double

3387
01:56:19,740 --> 01:56:19,939
the traffic and we are seeing

3388
01:56:19,939 --> 01:56:21,507
the traffic volumes on some

3389
01:56:21,507 --> 01:56:23,507
roads

3390
01:56:24,882 --> 01:56:27,783
approaching double what we have

3391
01:56:27,783 --> 01:56:29,482
today.

3392
01:56:29,482 --> 01:56:32,482
Basically take weekend and that

3393
01:56:33,122 --> 01:56:33,988
traffic could be handled the

3394
01:56:33,988 --> 01:56:35,922
price tag is $2.5 million

3395
01:56:35,922 --> 01:56:37,620
construction cost

3396
01:56:37,620 --> 01:56:39,928
we could do an existing right-

3397
01:56:39,928 --> 01:56:42,328
of-way get passing both

3398
01:56:42,627 --> 01:56:45,233
directions 12 miles and it will

3399
01:56:45,233 --> 01:56:47,200
keep traffic flowing and our

3400
01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:48,567
intention is if you see

3401
01:56:48,567 --> 01:56:51,906
assigned to miles ahead I have

3402
01:56:51,906 --> 01:56:55,506
a chance to pass the majority

3403
01:56:56,730 --> 01:56:59,770
population is going to -- it is

3404
01:56:59,770 --> 01:56:59,744
shown to be very effective.

3405
01:56:59,744 --> 01:57:02,583
Longer term and will -- it will

3406
01:57:02,583 --> 01:57:04,983
be much more extensive.

3407
01:57:07,551 --> 01:57:08,220
>> my final, is the mauling on

3408
01:57:08,220 --> 01:57:11,820
cost town has improved I know

3409
01:57:13,425 --> 01:57:14,600
you have it budget three times

3410
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:14,728
here, but it has improved and

3411
01:57:14,728 --> 01:57:17,728
it allows people entering and

3412
01:57:18,500 --> 01:57:19,162
exiting across town and baldwin

3413
01:57:19,162 --> 01:57:19,499
, they can see cars coming off

3414
01:57:19,499 --> 01:57:20,496
the road.

3415
01:57:20,496 --> 01:57:22,966
I appreciate that very much I

3416
01:57:22,966 --> 01:57:24,700
have seen him difference in

3417
01:57:24,700 --> 01:57:27,700
thank you I recognize that.

3418
01:57:27,605 --> 01:57:29,571
>> I know it's been a real

3419
01:57:29,571 --> 01:57:30,671
issue and still an issue the

3420
01:57:30,671 --> 01:57:32,671
campaign

3421
01:57:32,778 --> 01:57:35,778
the city's doing it is

3422
01:57:36,748 --> 01:57:37,379
propagating.

3423
01:57:37,379 --> 01:57:41,840
It looks -- I can notice it.

3424
01:57:41,840 --> 01:57:42,500
It's not perfect, but that

3425
01:57:42,500 --> 01:57:45,500
campaign and trying to educate

3426
01:57:51,580 --> 01:57:51,728
vote -- it's working.

3427
01:57:51,728 --> 01:57:52,363
I was amazed on how cool it was

3428
01:57:52,363 --> 01:57:53,893
and I spent several months a

3429
01:57:53,893 --> 01:57:56,893
few years ago it's noticeably

3430
01:57:57,970 --> 01:57:57,470
different, campaign plus

3431
01:57:57,470 --> 01:57:59,265
enforcement.

3432
01:57:59,265 --> 01:58:01,350
>> thank you.

3433
01:58:01,350 --> 01:58:04,635
I safely pulled aside this trust

3434
01:58:05,941 --> 01:58:06,577
to the side of the road, we had

3435
01:58:06,577 --> 01:58:09,577
a conversation about what he

3436
01:58:10,713 --> 01:58:11,716
puts in the back of his truck.

3437
01:58:11,716 --> 01:58:13,716
This riojas.

3438
01:58:14,748 --> 01:58:16,748
>> you educated him.

3439
01:58:17,719 --> 01:58:18,454
>> thanks for the feedback.

3440
01:58:18,454 --> 01:58:20,823
All I want to say is thanks for

3441
01:58:20,823 --> 01:58:22,589
the update. I know it's part

3442
01:58:22,589 --> 01:58:25,589
of our agenda packets today,

3443
01:58:29,565 --> 01:58:30,231
but I hope we do update have it

3444
01:58:30,231 --> 01:58:30,897
uploaded on the website because

3445
01:58:30,897 --> 01:58:31,530
it's great information to share

3446
01:58:31,530 --> 01:58:32,430
with the community about the

3447
01:58:32,430 --> 01:58:33,598
investment

3448
01:58:33,598 --> 01:58:35,998
so that people understand

3449
01:58:36,903 --> 01:58:37,602
timelines because we have a bit

3450
01:58:37,602 --> 01:58:40,602
of work construction not just

3451
01:58:41,374 --> 01:58:43,778
on our site on the stateside.

3452
01:58:43,778 --> 01:58:46,178
To give people information.

3453
01:58:47,283 --> 01:58:48,646
This one more thing.

3454
01:58:48,646 --> 01:58:49,814
Thanks for

3455
01:58:49,814 --> 01:58:51,382
being a great partner and making

3456
01:58:51,382 --> 01:58:53,382
mobility have been.

3457
01:58:59,361 --> 01:59:02,361
>> I will ask that -- .

3458
01:59:03,225 --> 01:59:05,995
>> I would echo colleen and mark

3459
01:59:05,995 --> 01:59:10,000
in the mirror said about my --

3460
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:12,400
light on for safety.

3461
01:59:18,142 --> 01:59:18,739
That marked take the credit you

3462
01:59:18,739 --> 01:59:19,409
I do think there's a lot of

3463
01:59:19,409 --> 01:59:20,760
value for lights on for safety

3464
01:59:20,760 --> 01:59:20,776
not just at night or during -- ,

3465
01:59:20,776 --> 01:59:21,377
but during the day specially on

3466
01:59:21,377 --> 01:59:22,440
some of those high-traffic

3467
01:59:22,440 --> 01:59:23,414
corridors.

3468
01:59:23,414 --> 01:59:25,414
>> thank you.

3469
01:59:28,222 --> 01:59:28,852
>> even though we did not have

3470
01:59:28,852 --> 01:59:29,988
a conversation it's good they

3471
01:59:29,988 --> 01:59:32,988
bring it to our attention.

3472
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:37,462
All you have to do is go drive

3473
01:59:37,462 --> 01:59:38,431
that without the passing lane,

3474
01:59:38,431 --> 01:59:40,431
that is scary.

3475
01:59:43,733 --> 01:59:46,733
>> I think we are done.

3476
01:59:50,271 --> 01:59:52,671
Thank you very much.

3477
01:59:53,941 --> 01:59:55,313
Before we take a break and then

3478
01:59:55,313 --> 01:59:58,380
after a break we will go over

3479
01:59:58,380 --> 01:59:59,446
item number 22, can you give us

3480
01:59:59,446 --> 02:00:02,119
some clarity on the concern

3481
02:00:02,119 --> 02:00:04,984
that was brought up earlier on

3482
02:00:04,984 --> 02:00:05,919
the legality of the

3483
02:00:05,919 --> 02:00:08,319
vote on annexation number 11.

3484
02:00:10,256 --> 02:00:11,124
>> the agenda from last week.

3485
02:00:11,124 --> 02:00:12,657
>> the concern was that funding

3486
02:00:12,657 --> 02:00:15,570
resolution was not properly

3487
02:00:16,399 --> 02:00:17,300
noticed and double checked

3488
02:00:17,300 --> 02:00:19,400
because when I hear something

3489
02:00:19,400 --> 02:00:20,434
like that I worry.

3490
02:00:20,434 --> 02:00:23,434
I double checked with registrar

3491
02:00:27,275 --> 02:00:27,940
and it appears 11 was on

3492
02:00:27,940 --> 02:00:28,540
properly on the agenda and the

3493
02:00:28,540 --> 02:00:30,342
agenda report was precedent

3494
02:00:30,342 --> 02:00:31,244
resolution was present and it

3495
02:00:31,244 --> 02:00:34,844
was present on the agenda as

3496
02:00:35,450 --> 02:00:36,450
well.

3497
02:00:36,450 --> 02:00:37,116
It will not be be open meeting

3498
02:00:37,116 --> 02:00:39,116
violation.

3499
02:00:41,352 --> 02:00:42,391
>> sleep was an accurate,

3500
02:00:42,391 --> 02:00:45,391
everything on our vote for

3501
02:00:47,460 --> 02:00:48,600
annexation is in compliance of

3502
02:00:48,600 --> 02:00:49,328
the legal request statutory

3503
02:00:49,328 --> 02:00:51,229
compliance with annexation.

3504
02:00:51,229 --> 02:00:52,263
>> I feel comfortable that is

3505
02:00:52,263 --> 02:00:54,100
all defensible.

3506
02:00:54,100 --> 02:00:54,496
>> we will take a break and be

3507
02:00:54,496 --> 02:00:56,496
back back.

3508
02:02:09,645 --> 02:02:11,212
We can get someone else, Ms.

3509
02:02:11,212 --> 02:02:13,612
Mcintyre, call someone else

3510
02:02:13,747 --> 02:02:14,715
from the back if you need to

3511
02:02:14,715 --> 02:02:16,715
handle something.

3512
02:02:18,481 --> 02:02:21,481
>> can someone from, thank you.

3513
02:02:27,361 --> 02:02:30,961
>> you for -- you've got one,

3514
02:02:31,290 --> 02:02:31,863
two, three, four.

3515
02:02:31,863 --> 02:02:34,263
>> she needs to go.

3516
02:02:34,567 --> 02:02:36,567
>> okay.

3517
02:02:39,541 --> 02:02:40,207
We're going to move forward to

3518
02:02:40,207 --> 02:02:41,672
item number 22 our last item on

3519
02:02:41,672 --> 02:02:43,672
the agenda, street

3520
02:02:44,775 --> 02:02:45,474
or vindictive exceedance plan

3521
02:02:45,474 --> 02:02:46,775
your one update and street

3522
02:02:46,775 --> 02:02:48,775
maintenance preventative year

3523
02:02:50,450 --> 02:02:50,978
number two work plan.

3524
02:02:50,978 --> 02:02:52,978
>> good afternoon, valerie

3525
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:55,856
gray, interim executive

3526
02:02:55,856 --> 02:02:56,450
director public works.

3527
02:02:56,450 --> 02:02:57,220
Today I want to present an

3528
02:02:57,220 --> 02:02:59,791
update on one of the

3529
02:02:59,791 --> 02:03:02,158
street preventative program and

3530
02:03:02,158 --> 02:03:04,861
review does two work plans

3531
02:03:04,861 --> 02:03:06,940
which should be up must be

3532
02:03:06,940 --> 02:03:08,494
approved prior to execution

3533
02:03:09,698 --> 02:03:12,968
that you I want to tell you

3534
02:03:12,968 --> 02:03:13,604
that on the seat you will see

3535
02:03:13,604 --> 02:03:15,336
that what we did was to make

3536
02:03:15,336 --> 02:03:17,736
you a larger mat

3537
02:03:22,442 --> 02:03:23,780
that has all the info on it. I

3538
02:03:23,780 --> 02:03:23,747
learned from experience and I

3539
02:03:23,747 --> 02:03:25,679
know last time you said can we

3540
02:03:25,679 --> 02:03:27,581
get a bigger map and we try to

3541
02:03:27,581 --> 02:03:30,382
put everything on it and we read

3542
02:03:30,382 --> 02:03:33,382
-- we printed the attachments

3543
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:36,320
for you.

3544
02:03:36,490 --> 02:03:38,759
On the first slide,

3545
02:03:38,759 --> 02:03:41,595
you can see that the slide

3546
02:03:41,595 --> 02:03:45,195
shows the status of your one,

3547
02:03:45,232 --> 02:03:47,232
and also

3548
02:03:48,700 --> 02:03:49,336
-- the first slightest overlay,

3549
02:03:49,336 --> 02:03:50,402
on the slide you can see the

3550
02:03:50,402 --> 02:03:52,874
status of your one overlay,

3551
02:03:52,874 --> 02:03:55,874
there are five delivery orders

3552
02:03:55,877 --> 02:03:57,877
totaling 264,000 total square

3553
02:04:00,578 --> 02:04:01,682
yards 14.1 miles.

3554
02:04:01,682 --> 02:04:04,682
The contractor is making good

3555
02:04:05,982 --> 02:04:08,919
progress and is at 56% complete

3556
02:04:08,919 --> 02:04:13,119
as shown on the chart to the

3557
02:04:17,960 --> 02:04:18,631
right.

3558
02:04:18,631 --> 02:04:20,300
On this next screen, shows the

3559
02:04:20,300 --> 02:04:22,167
status of the year one

3560
02:04:22,167 --> 02:04:25,167
seal coats with five delivery

3561
02:04:25,303 --> 02:04:27,303
orders totaling approximately

3562
02:04:28,108 --> 02:04:30,108
431,000 square yards or 25.1

3563
02:04:30,974 --> 02:04:32,974
miles.

3564
02:04:35,578 --> 02:04:36,214
This contractor had a late start

3565
02:04:36,214 --> 02:04:36,778
with the seal program and has

3566
02:04:36,778 --> 02:04:38,381
had some challenges with

3567
02:04:38,381 --> 02:04:40,381
resources.

3568
02:04:41,417 --> 02:04:42,540
Staff has been working with them

3569
02:04:42,540 --> 02:04:42,983
and working with a contractor

3570
02:04:42,983 --> 02:04:45,689
who is provided us recently a

3571
02:04:45,689 --> 02:04:49,289
plan of action to complete all

3572
02:04:50,562 --> 02:04:51,194
of the five deals by the end of

3573
02:04:51,194 --> 02:04:51,827
the year weather permitting.

3574
02:04:51,827 --> 02:04:55,660
He laid out a plan to get the

3575
02:04:55,660 --> 02:04:55,697
work done and we will work with

3576
02:04:55,697 --> 02:04:56,129
them and they believe he will

3577
02:04:56,129 --> 02:04:58,129
hit the target.

3578
02:04:59,433 --> 02:05:00,102
The seal work is faster than

3579
02:05:00,102 --> 02:05:01,470
the overlay work and we believe

3580
02:05:01,470 --> 02:05:02,606
he will be finishing up

3581
02:05:02,606 --> 02:05:06,806
close to the end of the year.

3582
02:05:07,800 --> 02:05:10,345
>> on the next slide, this is

3583
02:05:10,345 --> 02:05:10,678
simply a map of your one

3584
02:05:10,678 --> 02:05:12,678
location.

3585
02:05:14,818 --> 02:05:16,983
This is on the web and we have

3586
02:05:16,983 --> 02:05:18,620
to show you there

3587
02:05:18,620 --> 02:05:20,125
year one.

3588
02:05:20,125 --> 02:05:22,591
To briefly go through some of

3589
02:05:22,591 --> 02:05:25,526
things we learn from year one

3590
02:05:25,526 --> 02:05:26,491
which we consider they

3591
02:05:26,491 --> 02:05:30,691
had a program and we are trying

3592
02:05:31,764 --> 02:05:32,399
to approve and we both continue

3593
02:05:32,399 --> 02:05:33,670
to have a multi-your program

3594
02:05:33,670 --> 02:05:37,267
and the first thing is the use

3595
02:05:37,804 --> 02:05:38,405
of google map aerial view maps

3596
02:05:38,405 --> 02:05:39,690
when we are developing the

3597
02:05:39,690 --> 02:05:40,674
deals and working the plans for

3598
02:05:40,674 --> 02:05:41,908
the contractor instead of cad

3599
02:05:41,908 --> 02:05:43,908
drawings.

3600
02:05:44,509 --> 02:05:45,445
This allows the engineer to

3601
02:05:45,445 --> 02:05:46,978
mark the work features the

3602
02:05:46,978 --> 02:05:50,860
contract will see in the field

3603
02:05:50,860 --> 02:05:53,350
and it gives better clarity to

3604
02:05:53,350 --> 02:05:55,120
what is done and where it will

3605
02:05:55,120 --> 02:05:58,720
be done out in the field.

3606
02:05:59,757 --> 02:06:00,392
We learned to keep list of

3607
02:06:00,392 --> 02:06:01,991
alternates ready to allow for

3608
02:06:01,991 --> 02:06:02,960
swapping locations in the the

3609
02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:05,960
event of utility work is

3610
02:06:06,261 --> 02:06:06,964
required and reasons that we

3611
02:06:06,964 --> 02:06:09,364
might have two different

3612
02:06:16,400 --> 02:06:16,643
locations.

3613
02:06:16,643 --> 02:06:17,308
The third thing, that street

3614
02:06:17,308 --> 02:06:17,875
location methodology is working

3615
02:06:17,875 --> 02:06:18,440
very well we found a few

3616
02:06:18,440 --> 02:06:19,112
streets that needed to be

3617
02:06:19,112 --> 02:06:21,110
different due to identification

3618
02:06:21,110 --> 02:06:24,114
of utility work that is needed.

3619
02:06:24,114 --> 02:06:27,714
Remember, we tried our best not

3620
02:06:28,886 --> 02:06:29,451
to get into utility and try to

3621
02:06:29,451 --> 02:06:30,200
find a way to do for the

3622
02:06:30,200 --> 02:06:31,523
streetwear more extensive

3623
02:06:31,523 --> 02:06:35,123
utility work is needed area and

3624
02:06:35,623 --> 02:06:36,291
we also learned as number four

3625
02:06:36,291 --> 02:06:39,291
says, we need more inspections

3626
02:06:41,432 --> 02:06:42,100
and upfront testing and that

3627
02:06:42,100 --> 02:06:42,699
means we need to determine the

3628
02:06:42,699 --> 02:06:44,537
condition of basin in areas

3629
02:06:44,537 --> 02:06:47,668
were we do overlays whether we

3630
02:06:47,668 --> 02:06:50,670
should do overlays or -- we

3631
02:06:50,670 --> 02:06:53,941
need to verify the base to do

3632
02:06:53,941 --> 02:06:57,214
enough work and to ensure the

3633
02:06:57,214 --> 02:07:00,490
work is done and be being done

3634
02:07:00,490 --> 02:07:00,617
-- being done with the work

3635
02:07:00,617 --> 02:07:01,918
through and the staff and

3636
02:07:01,918 --> 02:07:04,788
engineering got does the walk

3637
02:07:04,788 --> 02:07:06,870
the work through the and your

3638
02:07:06,870 --> 02:07:08,487
work working on that.

3639
02:07:08,822 --> 02:07:10,822
>> the resident notification

3640
02:07:11,857 --> 02:07:12,527
protocol is doing very good in

3641
02:07:12,527 --> 02:07:14,280
our opinion and is evidence --

3642
02:07:14,280 --> 02:07:16,595
as evidence we only had to

3643
02:07:16,595 --> 02:07:17,565
vehicles that were told --

3644
02:07:17,565 --> 02:07:19,900
trying to contact those

3645
02:07:19,900 --> 02:07:23,380
residents and that was the only

3646
02:07:23,380 --> 02:07:23,968
issue I've heard so far and we

3647
02:07:23,968 --> 02:07:25,300
have been out in quite a few

3648
02:07:25,300 --> 02:07:27,300
areas.

3649
02:07:30,143 --> 02:07:30,809
We were able to up the

3650
02:07:30,809 --> 02:07:31,411
the striping in the streets we

3651
02:07:31,411 --> 02:07:32,780
are maintaining and we are

3652
02:07:32,780 --> 02:07:35,780
getting it in accordance with

3653
02:07:35,800 --> 02:07:36,490
the transportation plan and

3654
02:07:36,490 --> 02:07:38,754
that's a plus with the program

3655
02:07:38,754 --> 02:07:39,422
as well.

3656
02:07:39,422 --> 02:07:40,886
Last but not least the utility

3657
02:07:40,886 --> 02:07:43,286
coordination is working well.

3658
02:07:46,592 --> 02:07:47,258
Working harder to get our

3659
02:07:47,258 --> 02:07:47,925
locations -- locations who are

3660
02:07:47,925 --> 02:07:48,594
utility department and allowing

3661
02:07:48,594 --> 02:07:52,194
them to review the location and

3662
02:07:53,198 --> 02:07:53,833
in advance.

3663
02:07:53,833 --> 02:07:55,297
This is healthy must for the

3664
02:07:55,297 --> 02:07:56,903
location that the for a lot of

3665
02:07:56,903 --> 02:07:57,836
infrastructure work

3666
02:07:57,836 --> 02:08:00,204
you for making the discovery in

3667
02:08:00,204 --> 02:08:00,874
the field.

3668
02:08:00,874 --> 02:08:02,539
The coordination is -- as well

3669
02:08:02,539 --> 02:08:06,139
doing really well we do to

3670
02:08:07,744 --> 02:08:08,379
streets, we have gotten in an

3671
02:08:08,379 --> 02:08:09,582
area were we had to bring in

3672
02:08:09,582 --> 02:08:11,847
and make a repair. We are

3673
02:08:11,847 --> 02:08:12,849
getting better at it and doing

3674
02:08:12,849 --> 02:08:16,830
a good job with the program.

3675
02:08:16,830 --> 02:08:18,355
>> on the next slides, what I

3676
02:08:18,355 --> 02:08:21,457
did is take pictures you can

3677
02:08:21,457 --> 02:08:24,620
see the end product. We are

3678
02:08:24,620 --> 02:08:27,662
pretty proud of what's going on.

3679
02:08:27,731 --> 02:08:28,368
There are two over the

3680
02:08:28,368 --> 02:08:28,995
arterials in the locations --

3681
02:08:28,995 --> 02:08:29,566
and the locations are on the

3682
02:08:29,566 --> 02:08:31,566
bottom.

3683
02:08:35,471 --> 02:08:38,175
The next slide is to overlaid

3684
02:08:38,175 --> 02:08:41,175
-- electors completed and the

3685
02:08:42,344 --> 02:08:42,913
third slide are to overlaid

3686
02:08:42,913 --> 02:08:44,913
local streets completed.

3687
02:08:47,714 --> 02:08:49,982
In year one. In the next slide

3688
02:08:49,982 --> 02:08:52,982
two sealed arterials that have

3689
02:08:55,727 --> 02:08:58,127
been completed. Two sealed

3690
02:08:58,958 --> 02:08:59,824
collectors completed under you

3691
02:08:59,824 --> 02:09:01,824
one.

3692
02:09:04,334 --> 02:09:06,597
And this is to shield --

3693
02:09:06,597 --> 02:09:07,333
residential street part of year

3694
02:09:07,333 --> 02:09:10,333
one and -- completed through

3695
02:09:15,609 --> 02:09:18,246
the program as we move on to

3696
02:09:18,246 --> 02:09:19,511
year two, but I want to do is

3697
02:09:19,511 --> 02:09:23,111
show you the slides and this

3698
02:09:23,348 --> 02:09:23,882
was presented to you last

3699
02:09:23,882 --> 02:09:24,853
November on the street

3700
02:09:24,853 --> 02:09:27,253
selection criteria that was

3701
02:09:28,870 --> 02:09:29,570
approved to select the street

3702
02:09:29,570 --> 02:09:33,257
to location we put in the work

3703
02:09:33,294 --> 02:09:33,858
plan and you will know that it

3704
02:09:33,858 --> 02:09:35,260
is primarily based on the

3705
02:09:35,260 --> 02:09:38,300
pavement condition index or pci

3706
02:09:38,300 --> 02:09:41,300
and it's distributed by the

3707
02:09:42,360 --> 02:09:42,967
other factors listed here as we

3708
02:09:42,967 --> 02:09:46,567
work to develop the work plan.

3709
02:09:51,243 --> 02:09:51,910
>> this chart shows the target

3710
02:09:51,910 --> 02:09:53,277
and the comparison to the work

3711
02:09:53,277 --> 02:09:56,277
plan distribution for year two.

3712
02:09:57,213 --> 02:09:58,384
The pie chart on the top list

3713
02:09:58,384 --> 02:09:59,882
shows the street maintenance

3714
02:09:59,882 --> 02:10:01,685
need I district and the bottom

3715
02:10:01,685 --> 02:10:04,850
list shows the street

3716
02:10:05,880 --> 02:10:05,986
maintenance list by will --

3717
02:10:05,986 --> 02:10:08,986
road classification on on the

3718
02:10:10,950 --> 02:10:10,726
top right you will see the

3719
02:10:10,726 --> 02:10:11,362
chart shows what the year to

3720
02:10:11,362 --> 02:10:13,262
work plan distribution is by

3721
02:10:13,262 --> 02:10:15,629
district and the bottom right

3722
02:10:15,629 --> 02:10:16,532
shows the year to work plan by

3723
02:10:16,532 --> 02:10:17,700
road classification.

3724
02:10:17,700 --> 02:10:20,268
The chart the targets are

3725
02:10:20,268 --> 02:10:21,704
pretty closely meant that you

3726
02:10:21,704 --> 02:10:23,704
these percentages

3727
02:10:24,441 --> 02:10:26,841
without the streets portions

3728
02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:27,712
and the numbers once you add

3729
02:10:27,712 --> 02:10:30,112
industry distribution as well

3730
02:10:31,115 --> 02:10:31,612
get the numbers get closer to

3731
02:10:31,612 --> 02:10:31,978
the targets we have

3732
02:10:31,978 --> 02:10:33,978
represented.

3733
02:10:37,421 --> 02:10:41,900
>> this is simply a map of the

3734
02:10:41,900 --> 02:10:44,425
year to locations we have given

3735
02:10:44,425 --> 02:10:47,960
you the list attached in a

3736
02:10:47,960 --> 02:10:48,897
order by district and in order

3737
02:10:48,897 --> 02:10:51,932
by alphabet and the third list

3738
02:10:51,932 --> 02:10:52,530
is

3739
02:10:52,530 --> 02:10:55,530
the list of street projects

3740
02:10:56,438 --> 02:10:57,690
