[12:58] one. Uh any speakers?
[13:01] >> No, sir.
[13:02] » No, sir.
[13:02] >> Is there anybody online?
[13:06] » All right.
[13:08] Very good. Let's go to the item four. Uh
[13:11] the fiscal year 2026 2027 proposed
[13:17] budget. The
[13:21] item 4 A we will pick up from where we
[13:25] left off. That'll be a short conclusion
[13:28] there and then go into uh the remainder
[13:31] of the items.
[13:34] One is uh debt service fund and two is
[13:38] special revenue funds and
[13:41] um Miss Lamb will do that presentation.
[13:46] >> It's page 191, guys.
[13:51] » Good morning, mayor and council. Um if
[13:54] you look at page 93
[13:56] um this is the debt service fund for um
[14:00] that's supported by property tax and um
[14:06] if you'll look at that the um
[14:09] revenues are based on um the no new
[14:12] revenue rate. Should you raise a
[14:14] different tax rate that um would change
[14:18] um for on the advorum taxes line for the
[14:21] revenues
[14:24] um the
[14:26] under the debt service requirements all
[14:28] the different bond issues or
[14:30] certificates of obligation that are um
[14:34] funded by the property tax are listed
[14:36] there with their principal interest and
[14:40] fee requirements um for the next coming
[14:43] year. This is the debt service that is
[14:46] submitted to the county when they do our
[14:49] um calculations for our debt service
[14:51] rate
[14:53] uh that you'll be talking about later uh
[14:56] in the meeting. On the following pages,
[14:59] uh there's just a summary of
[15:02] um all of them put together to show you
[15:05] the impact um of them all together. And
[15:09] then starting on page 196, you have the
[15:13] different issues listed out uh to their
[15:16] maturity. One thing I wanted to point
[15:18] out on the headings of those on p like
[15:21] page 196, this is tax supported portion.
[15:25] 60% on that uh general obligation
[15:28] refunding bond. The other 40% is funded
[15:32] by water and sewer. Um, and you'll see
[15:35] that as we move on to um the debt
[15:39] service for the water and sewer funds.
[15:42] On page 2011 is our other debt service
[15:46] fund and this is the uh fund
[15:49] [clears throat] that the water and sewer
[15:51] debt is funded. This fund actually on
[15:54] your audited financial statements will
[15:57] combine with fund two which is your
[15:59] water and sewer fund. uh because these
[16:03] um issues are not funded by the property
[16:05] tax. They are funded with water and
[16:08] sewer revenues. So you have uh in on the
[16:12] revenues you have a transfer from impact
[16:14] fees that is something that was set up
[16:18] many years ago and I don't know the
[16:21] history behind all of that but the
[16:23] impact fees for water and sewer uh
[16:26] support one of the debt issues and they
[16:28] transfer in 150,000 towards that. this
[16:32] transfer from water and sewer. Um we
[16:35] just show the portion that's actually
[16:36] being funded this year out of fund O2.
[16:41] Then one of the debt issues um type A
[16:44] and type B participate in and so they're
[16:47] they transfer in to pay this debt. They
[16:50] each transfer in 35,000
[16:53] and then this fund earns interest
[16:55] income. So that's where the funding for
[16:58] these debt issues come from. all those
[17:00] different sources. Then once again on
[17:03] the requirements, it's listing out your
[17:05] principal, interest, and your fee
[17:07] requirements for the coming year. This
[17:10] debt once again is not included in the
[17:13] property tax.
[17:15] On the next pages, you have the same you
[17:18] have the summary that shows them all
[17:20] together with their requirements and
[17:22] then the individual um to maturity and
[17:27] the percentage that they're funded.
[17:29] And just point out that um on page 207,
[17:34] this is the certificates of obligations
[17:37] uh that we did in 2022.
[17:40] The majority of this, this is what is
[17:42] reflected with the pro the projects that
[17:45] are in fund 29
[17:47] um the water and sewer piece of that
[17:50] which is 71.91%.
[17:52] So the heavy burden of this one is is on
[17:56] the water and sewer fund.
[17:59] Are there any questions on the debt
[18:01] service?
[18:06] I just have one and I'm just trying to
[18:08] understand you said for page 193. So the
[18:11] interest it's stating is interest earned
[18:12] or interest charged to us
[18:15] >> on the um top of the top of the page
[18:18] » on the um top of the top of the page
[18:18] under revenues there's interest earned
[18:20] >> but in the debt service requirement
[18:21] » but in the debt service requirement
[18:21] >> but in the debt service the it's the
[18:23] » but in the debt service the it's the
[18:23] interest payment.
[18:24] >> Okay.
[18:26] » Okay.
[18:26] Just trying to understand for the 2022
[18:28] combo tax um why are we holding on to a
[18:31] debt that's double for the interest
[18:34] charge? So like I'm looking principal
[18:36] for next year's 165 interest we're going
[18:38] to pay is 189.
[18:40] [clears throat]
[18:42] >> What page are you on?
[18:43] » What page are you on?
[18:43] >> 193
[18:44] » 193
[18:44] >> towards the bottom bottom line
[18:48] » towards the bottom bottom line
[18:48] >> under 2022 combo tax
[18:51] » under 2022 combo tax
[18:51] >> 199
[18:52] » 199
[18:52] >> 193
[18:52] » 193
[18:52] >> 193
[18:53] » 193
[18:53] >> 193 sorry
[18:56] » 193 sorry
[18:56] >> I mean the rest seem like reasonable
[18:58] » I mean the rest seem like reasonable
[18:58] interest charges if I'm reading it
[18:59] correctly but that one is more than the
[19:01] principal.
[19:04] Yeah. And
[19:04] >> we could wipe that out.
[19:06] » we could wipe that out.
[19:06] >> Part of the reason for that is the way
[19:09] » Part of the reason for that is the way
[19:09] it was issued. It it was almost a year.
[19:12] It was almost 18 months before we made
[19:14] the first interest payment. So, it's
[19:17] behind on the the amount that's
[19:20] outstanding.
[19:21] >> Would
[19:22] » Would
[19:22] >> and I can double check this number, but
[19:24] » and I can double check this number, but
[19:24] it should be correct.
[19:25] >> Yeah. I mean, I'm looking at the past
[19:27] » Yeah. I mean, I'm looking at the past
[19:27] years and they're always much higher
[19:29] than the principal. I mean, with such a
[19:31] small is it not in the city's best
[19:32] interest or is it even an option to pay
[19:35] this one off just because the interest
[19:36] is so high or is that not
[19:38] >> There are call provisions. I'd have to
[19:40] » There are call provisions. I'd have to
[19:40] look them up. Um, but yes, all of these
[19:43] issues have call provisions in them.
[19:46] >> Okay. I'm just looking at the interest
[19:48] » Okay. I'm just looking at the interest
[19:48] compared to the principal and it just
[19:49] seems like something we may want to talk
[19:51] about and consider.
[19:52] >> Yeah.
[19:57] There any other question?
[20:04] Uh if there's not we can go on to the
[20:06] next item which is special revenue funds
[20:09] and those start on page 209
[20:13] 211
[20:15] actually start on page 213 with the
[20:17] parkboard fund. Heartboard fund is the
[20:21] fund that um they fund their activities
[20:24] [clears throat]
[20:24] and events um out of. This fund is
[20:30] funded by uh contributions that show up
[20:33] on the utility bill. The customers have
[20:36] the option to make donations to this
[20:39] fund. So those are shown in the park
[20:42] fund contributions.
[20:44] Then the um down at the bottom you'll
[20:46] see a matching transfer any we this
[20:50] general fund matches any donations that
[20:53] are made by the citizens. So that's
[20:55] where that is shown.
[20:57] And then the other large revenue source
[21:01] for this is the transfer from the
[21:03] general fund. the general fund. U the
[21:06] council has uh for many years had this
[21:10] $62,400
[21:12] amount that they subsidized this fund
[21:14] with.
[21:16] And then the other revenues are for the
[21:19] particular events that the um park board
[21:23] holds and these are the sponsorships and
[21:26] donations that um Katrina goes out when
[21:29] she's working the events and secures
[21:30] from the different sponsors.
[21:34] One of the new items that they requested
[21:37] in the current or in the next year's
[21:39] budget is they want to reinstate their
[21:41] rodeo uh project. So they have added
[21:45] $40,000
[21:47] at both the revenue and expenditure line
[21:49] for the rodeo.
[21:52] Um other than that there's
[21:55] very little changes um from the prior
[21:58] year.
[22:00] The in addition to this Mr. Mayor, may
[22:03] I?
[22:05] >> Um,
[22:06] » Um,
[22:06] I just have a curiosity question.
[22:08] >> They're saying they're going to have
[22:11] » They're saying they're going to have
[22:11] 40,000 in income and 40,000 in expenses
[22:13] for the rodeo. Where does the income
[22:14] come from for the rodeo?
[22:16] >> Sponsorships.
[22:17] » Sponsorships.
[22:17] >> So, they think they'll get that much
[22:18] » So, they think they'll get that much
[22:18] from sponsorships.
[22:19] >> That That's how we budget it.
[22:21] » That That's how we budget it.
[22:21] >> Okay.
[22:21] » Okay.
[22:21] >> Sometimes they go over sponsorships and
[22:24] » Sometimes they go over sponsorships and
[22:24] sometimes they don't make it. But
[22:26] vendors as well.
[22:27] >> Yeah. I'm just saying on the other
[22:29] » Yeah. I'm just saying on the other
[22:29] events, they don't really bring in that
[22:31] much. So, I'm just want I'm just curious
[22:33] why the rodeo has such a higher number
[22:35] for income.
[22:36] >> Um because it has a high number for
[22:38] » Um because it has a high number for
[22:38] expenditures. They they do the same.
[22:41] This is how they've always budgeted.
[22:43] >> Okay.
[22:43] » Okay.
[22:44] >> Because that's Katrina's goal is to go
[22:46] » Because that's Katrina's goal is to go
[22:46] out and try to raise $40,000.
[22:48] >> Okay.
[22:49] » Okay.
[22:49] >> Or, you know, for um the fireworks, you
[22:53] » Or, you know, for um the fireworks, you
[22:53] know, she raises, you know, more money.
[22:56] As you can see,
[22:59] it's not always feasible to to raise
[23:02] them, but
[23:02] >> Right.
[23:03] » Right.
[23:03] >> Yeah.
[23:04] » Yeah.
[23:04] >> Okay.
[23:04] » Okay.
[23:04] >> We have no idea how to determine who
[23:08] » We have no idea how to determine who
[23:08] will sponsor, who will not,
[23:10] >> right?
[23:10] » right?
[23:10] >> So that's why it's reflected this way.
[23:12] » So that's why it's reflected this way.
[23:12] >> Okay. And with the rodeo, I would also
[23:14] » Okay. And with the rodeo, I would also
[23:14] say that there's a third party that runs
[23:16] it and he also goes out and gets
[23:18] sponsorships and sometimes Katrina and
[23:20] him have or the city and him have worked
[23:23] a um agreement where some of the
[23:26] sponsorship goes to us as well. So it it
[23:28] will raise more money.
[23:30] >> Okay. Thank you'all. in the past.
[23:33] » Okay. Thank you'all. in the past.
[23:33] >> In addition, the park um park board did
[23:37] » In addition, the park um park board did
[23:37] request that the city add 300,000 to the
[23:41] playground project which um you all
[23:45] added in the general fund at your last
[23:48] workshop.
[23:50] >> Mayor,
[23:51] » Mayor,
[23:52] >> yeah.
[23:52] » yeah.
[23:52] >> Um so, question. Why do we continue to
[23:55] » Um so, question. Why do we continue to
[23:55] put the 62,400 in there if they've got a
[23:58] pretty healthy
[24:00] budget? It looks like they're they're
[24:02] able to cover their own costs and
[24:04] they're actually increasing on their
[24:06] ending available resources. Is that
[24:08] something we need to consider changing?
[24:11] >> It's been the custom of the council to
[24:13] » It's been the custom of the council to
[24:13] do that every year for many years. If
[24:16] this council would like to change that,
[24:17] then uh that could be part of your
[24:20] change.
[24:20] >> And I don't mind the the park board
[24:22] » And I don't mind the the park board
[24:22] having money. It just looks like they
[24:23] don't need it. So the question is why
[24:25] are we putting it there?
[24:30] I believe the previous amount was
[24:32] $57,000
[24:34] and at one point we raised it to 624.
[24:39] » Is there a budget you think is healthy
[24:40] for them to have at ending available
[24:42] resources?
[24:46] » I yeah I don't I don't know that I have
[24:49] a a real opinion on that. there are um
[24:52] there hasn't been a a situation that I
[24:55] can think of where they were in danger
[24:58] of running short or um
[25:00] >> definitely not a quarter of a million
[25:02] » definitely not a quarter of a million
[25:02] dollars.
[25:02] >> No.
[25:03] » No.
[25:03] >> Okay. So, I mean that's just something
[25:05] » Okay. So, I mean that's just something
[25:05] for us to
[25:06] >> Yeah. Or or definitely thinking about
[25:08] » Yeah. Or or definitely thinking about
[25:08] maybe reducing that number to
[25:10] >> or maybe just removing it just for this
[25:11] » or maybe just removing it just for this
[25:11] year. I mean
[25:11] >> I would remove it completely. The first
[25:13] » I would remove it completely. The first
[25:13] thing I would do is maybe
[25:14] [clears throat] reduce and then if it's
[25:15] still not used then remove. Okay. But
[25:18] >> I think the reason reason she might be,
[25:19] » I think the reason reason she might be,
[25:20] not to put words in your mouth, but
[25:21] because they have $260,000
[25:23] available at the end of the year.
[25:26] >> So if you if you took it out completely,
[25:27] » So if you if you took it out completely,
[25:27] they'd still have $200,000 left over.
[25:31] I think is maybe is that
[25:33] >> that is what I was saying. I was just
[25:34] » that is what I was saying. I was just
[25:34] saying that's what Oh, sorry. I'm not
[25:35] sure why it's doing that.
[25:37] >> Um [clears throat] even if we only
[25:39] » Um [clears throat] even if we only
[25:39] removed it for the year, they would
[25:40] still have a very healthy budget was all
[25:43] I was saying. But I even just reducing I
[25:45] just don't
[25:47] from what they've spent and from their
[25:49] history, it just doesn't look like they
[25:51] need a quarter of a million dollar,
[25:53] >> right?
[25:55] » right?
[25:55] >> Maybe reduce it by half. Like just
[25:57] » Maybe reduce it by half. Like just
[25:57] because if I do agree, I think it was 57
[26:00] before and I'm I don't know the history
[26:01] of why that has always been the case,
[26:03] but
[26:04] >> I might make the suggestion. Uh I hear
[26:07] » I might make the suggestion. Uh I hear
[26:07] what you're saying.
[26:09] uh this transfer
[26:11] from general fund being 62,400
[26:15] and
[26:17] with the total revenue at 161450
[26:21] and total expenditures estimated at
[26:24] 151250
[26:26] for this budget to balance out and
[26:29] reduce that uh it would be lower that
[26:33] 62400
[26:35] to maybe 52400
[26:37] decrease it by 10,000 And that's the
[26:39] diff that's approximate number. I had to
[26:41] get my calculator, but that's the
[26:43] approximate difference between
[26:46] uh this year's uh proposed revenue
[26:49] versus expenditures.
[26:52] And the uh your this quarter of a
[26:55] million, you're looking at the total
[26:56] ending resources. Those are carry over
[26:59] from year to year to year that uh it's a
[27:02] a reserve that uh they have in this park
[27:05] board fund
[27:06] >> just as we do in our general fund.
[27:08] » just as we do in our general fund.
[27:08] >> Understood. And it's just talking about
[27:10] » Understood. And it's just talking about
[27:10] do they really need a quarter of a
[27:11] million dollars of reserves or even
[27:13] 200,000. I mean I'm just saying we
[27:15] should talk about it if if we feel
[27:18] >> time talk about
[27:19] » time talk about
[27:19] >> Yeah. Now that I see kind of what you
[27:20] » Yeah. Now that I see kind of what you
[27:20] said with the total revenue and the
[27:21] total expenditures, you wouldn't want to
[27:24] >> go less on the revenue than what they're
[27:26] » go less on the revenue than what they're
[27:26] going to expend. Even though there is
[27:27] that reserve,
[27:29] I think it would be good practice to
[27:32] keep it balanced.
[27:34] >> Well, let's see what that difference
[27:36] » Well, let's see what that difference
[27:36] actual difference would be. So 161
[27:40] >> 10,200.
[27:41] » 10,200.
[27:42] >> How much?
[27:42] » How much?
[27:42] >> 10,200.
[27:43] » 10,200.
[27:44] >> $10,200.
[27:46] » $10,200.
[27:46] So if you decrease that uh revenue the
[27:49] match
[27:51] uh how much does that take that to that
[27:53] 52,212
[27:57] » 522
[27:59] >> that's a good start for sure and then we
[28:01] » that's a good start for sure and then we
[28:01] can look at it maybe doing more next
[28:03] year.
[28:04] >> Well also you don't want to cut too far
[28:06] » Well also you don't want to cut too far
[28:06] this year but since they're adding
[28:07] another new big event you want to see
[28:09] how that kind of plays out maybe. So I
[28:11] think a little decrease is fine. I just
[28:14] think something definitely we keep an
[28:15] eye on as we go next year.
[28:19] >> Marcy,
[28:20] » Marcy,
[28:20] uh [clears throat]
[28:22] uh when we get new houses in that know
[28:25] we were talking about last week with
[28:26] that sweet grass that $1,000 that every
[28:28] house gets built goes into the goes
[28:31] towards the fund 15. Is that is that one
[28:34] of these line items? Because once all
[28:35] the houses are being built then they
[28:37] won't be getting all that extra money
[28:39] from all these new houses. So the parks
[28:41] board their budget if I'm correcting
[28:44] right should be going I mean they
[28:46] wouldn't be getting a lot of money and
[28:47] so they won't be having all this extra
[28:48] money in there. Correct.
[28:50] >> This this fun
[28:52] » This this fun
[28:52] >> this fund is separate from fund 15. Oh
[28:54] » this fund is separate from fund 15. Oh
[28:54] okay. So
[28:55] >> yeah. Um and prior to our boon and
[28:59] » yeah. Um and prior to our boon and
[29:00] building fund 15 was very small. So
[29:04] you're correct. It's it's going to go
[29:06] back down.
[29:06] >> So this is so this is
[29:07] » So this is so this is
[29:07] >> it's not going to affect this fun.
[29:09] » it's not going to affect this fun.
[29:09] >> Oh okay. Okay.
[29:10] » Oh okay. Okay.
[29:10] >> This park fund contribution is from the
[29:13] » This park fund contribution is from the
[29:13] water bill like where they can opt. Is
[29:15] that where
[29:15] >> they get water bill and then the general
[29:18] » they get water bill and then the general
[29:18] fund matches that?
[29:19] >> Okay.
[29:20] » Okay.
[29:20] >> And then they have the 624.
[29:22] » And then they have the 624.
[29:22] >> Okay. So in that park fund contribution
[29:24] » Okay. So in that park fund contribution
[29:24] we're matching.
[29:26] >> Yes. If you see park fund contributions
[29:28] » Yes. If you see park fund contributions
[29:28] of 15 and then down at towards the end
[29:32] >> uh matching transfer general fund. Okay.
[29:35] » uh matching transfer general fund. Okay.
[29:35] Is 15.
[29:37] >> Okay.
[29:40] So, did you get that we were going to
[29:42] reduce the transfer from general fund to
[29:45] 52,200?
[29:46] Yes. Moving forward. Okay.
[29:50] >> And I just want to note just for anyone
[29:53] » And I just want to note just for anyone
[29:53] watching, that's not us trying to slash
[29:54] park uh board funding. That's just
[29:57] looking at the accounts. Um if the park
[29:59] board needs more money, we are we're not
[30:02] saying no. We're just adjusting to their
[30:04] current almost quarter million available
[30:07] resources.
[30:14] Are there any other questions on
[30:18] Okay.
[30:20] Uh the next one is impact fees
[30:26] and that's on page 223.
[30:31] Um once again this is this is going to
[30:34] be driven by um the development that we
[30:36] have going on. So the revenues for this
[30:39] fund are the water and sewer impact fees
[30:42] and then interest income. Uh interest
[30:45] income obviously would um go down as
[30:49] these um this balance goes down. Um and
[30:55] Mike can probably tell us more about
[30:57] what impact fees can be used for. But um
[31:01] in looking at next year's budget um what
[31:05] we've what we've seen here is a transfer
[31:07] as I mentioned before on the debt
[31:09] service that the impact fees transfer to
[31:12] the debt service fund. So that's that
[31:14] $150,000
[31:16] transfer that you see. And then what we
[31:20] have budgeted in here for project
[31:22] expenditures
[31:24] in the current year
[31:26] that 965,000
[31:28] for FM156 Blue Mountain Road 16in water
[31:32] line lowering that is a current uh
[31:36] project and so if it's not completed or
[31:41] not began in this year it'll carry
[31:43] forward. the water system master plan,
[31:47] $5,000 is budgeted for next year. And
[31:50] then in the sewer
[31:53] uh section, the impact program update
[31:56] for 20,000 and the sewer system master
[31:59] plan for 425
[32:01] and those were um on the recommendation
[32:05] of Mr. Anderson.
[32:08] the impact fees. Uh if you'll look at
[32:11] that graph on the screen,
[32:16] this is the historicals
[32:19] u buildout
[32:22] since uh 20 or 17 fiscal year 1718
[32:26] starting on the very far left and up to
[32:30] this last fiscal year or this fiscal
[32:32] year 2526.
[32:36] this uh
[32:39] year we expect a build out of
[32:42] approximately 82 homes.
[32:45] That's why you see and that correlates
[32:47] these impact fees correlate directly
[32:50] with that construction. Now what's not
[32:53] reflected in here is
[32:58] uh commercial. We we the
[33:02] residential permits or the residential
[33:05] construction is uh very well predicted.
[33:09] The developers have that down to a
[33:11] science
[33:13] and the these numbers is where we get
[33:16] that from. and also we track the permits
[33:19] uh compared to what they forecasted.
[33:23] What we don't have in here uh in the
[33:26] impact fee revenue here is any large
[33:30] warehouse any commercial endeavor that
[33:32] may come that is uh not predictable. So
[33:37] it would be to a benefit if a commercial
[33:40] a large warehouse comes in they pay
[33:42] their impact fees
[33:45] that will give more revenue than what
[33:47] we're estimating.
[33:48] >> It would not be beneficial if a large
[33:50] » It would not be beneficial if a large
[33:50] warehouse comes in.
[33:51] >> Sorry.
[33:51] » Sorry.
[33:51] >> It would not be beneficial if a large
[33:53] » It would not be beneficial if a large
[33:53] warehouse comes in.
[33:56] We [clears throat] have said over and
[33:57] over and over and the citizens have said
[33:59] it as well. We do not want any more
[34:00] warehouses.
[34:01] >> The master land use plan which I know is
[34:04] » The master land use plan which I know is
[34:04] going into review. A bulk of that, you
[34:07] know, probably
[34:10] 25% of the city on the north side
[34:15] is zoned or is industrial.
[34:19] It is industrial. That is the market
[34:22] demand for uh Hasslet, Texas.
[34:27] It's it would be nice, you know, but
[34:30] there you and you need to the
[34:35] logistics industry, the warehousing
[34:38] industry,
[34:39] uh those commercial facilities, they're
[34:42] they're not particularly evil. There is
[34:45] an upside and yes, there's a downside
[34:48] when you get a large warehouse. And I'll
[34:50] just take a minute here. I'm not trying
[34:52] to divert.
[34:53] >> Yeah, I'd like to get back on the
[34:54] » Yeah, I'd like to get back on the
[34:54] agenda.
[34:54] >> Yes. But when make when you make a
[34:56] » Yes. But when make when you make a
[34:56] comment in public that warehousing we
[35:00] don't want anymore that we need to step
[35:02] back and understand what that means to
[35:05] the city is that
[35:08] uh a large warehouse say a 500,000 foot
[35:11] warehouse or even a million square foot
[35:14] warehouse uh
[35:17] that is one large facility. There are
[35:21] proportionally if you had a million
[35:23] square foot or residential
[35:26] um home sites that uh I worked that
[35:30] number up but I think that might be
[35:32] maybe 150 homes. U is that
[35:38] 150 homes
[35:41] those are 150 points of failure for
[35:43] water and sewer that public works has to
[35:46] maintain. For a large warehouse, there
[35:49] might be three connection points in the
[35:51] entire facility versus 150. So the
[35:55] upside is there a relatively smaller
[35:59] line serving that large million square
[36:02] foot facility
[36:04] and less maintenance required
[36:09] from the public works side of the world
[36:12] to maintain that. Also with a large
[36:15] warehouse depending on the operation
[36:18] with all any of them is you get a what
[36:21] is called personal property tax besides
[36:26] the avalorum property tax. So the
[36:29] personal property tax um such as uh well
[36:35] a large ware million square foot
[36:36] warehouse I think one of the recent ones
[36:39] that have been uh that will be built
[36:41] here is uh the personal property tax in
[36:46] addition to that alarm but the personal
[36:48] property tax yields the equivalent
[36:52] equivalent if you had to generate that
[36:54] taxable sale from a retail facility that
[36:56] retail facility would have to generate
[36:59] over $77 million a year.
[37:02] So there is an upside to warehousing. We
[37:06] just need to recognize it. Yeah. But
[37:08] what come what's the downside?
[37:11] We get a lot of cut uh cross through
[37:13] traffic in the city of Hassa, Texas and
[37:16] the large vehicles.
[37:19] That's the downside.
[37:20] >> Okay. I had a question on um the Lata
[37:23] » Okay. I had a question on um the Lata
[37:23] water impact fee grant. So that's
[37:24] completed and that will be removed next
[37:26] year. I was looking back at last year's
[37:28] budget with their buildout. So that's
[37:31] that's done.
[37:38] » Okay, perfect.
[37:39] >> And then also on
[37:42] » And then also on
[37:42] >> Okay, perfect. Um and then also on the
[37:44] » Okay, perfect. Um and then also on the
[37:44] water impact fees and the sewer impact
[37:46] fees, that's it's a pretty significant
[37:49] um reduction. Is that just something
[37:52] that
[37:54] can Can you explain the the from the 4
[37:56] 368 512 368 490 now to 96?
[38:01] >> I'll let Oh, sorry. I'll let the mayor
[38:04] » I'll let Oh, sorry. I'll let the mayor
[38:04] answer that. He's he's um looking at the
[38:06] production schedule from the builders
[38:08] and he may want to
[38:10] >> that's just a prediction on what
[38:12] » that's just a prediction on what
[38:12] >> so your question again is that why is it
[38:16] » so your question again is that why is it
[38:16] reduced from 490,000 to 96,000
[38:20] >> and then below with the 450 to 186
[38:22] » and then below with the 450 to 186
[38:22] >> the for each residential lot there is a
[38:26] » the for each residential lot there is a
[38:26] set impact fee
[38:29] >> and it's I think is a nominal nominal
[38:33] » and it's I think is a nominal nominal
[38:33] $2,000 for water, nominal 2,000 for
[38:36] sewer. Well, actually there's more
[38:39] difference than that. It's almost twice.
[38:43] It [clears throat] is almost twice. Uh I
[38:45] >> almost twice done or almost twice the
[38:47] » almost twice done or almost twice the
[38:47] amount.
[38:47] >> The sewer impact fee is almost twice of
[38:51] » The sewer impact fee is almost twice of
[38:51] what the water impact is double.
[38:53] >> Yes.
[38:54] » Yes.
[38:54] >> Okay. Okay. Double. Okay.
[38:55] » Okay. Okay. Double. Okay.
[38:55] >> So that's why you see that numerical
[38:57] » So that's why you see that numerical
[38:58] difference between the two. But that is
[39:01] based on I believe a standard with 3/4
[39:04] inch line on water. And
[39:12] so with that we just take those numbers.
[39:15] We take our projections which we get
[39:18] from the developers
[39:20] and multiply those number of expected
[39:23] they call it takedown the number of
[39:26] takedowns for the coming year.
[39:30] and multiply it and how that's how that
[39:32] number is generated.
[39:33] >> Okay. Thank you,
[39:36] » Okay. Thank you,
[39:36] >> Mr. Mayor.
[39:37] » Mr. Mayor.
[39:37] >> Yes.
[39:38] » Yes.
[39:38] >> Um, is there any way we could I know
[39:40] » Um, is there any way we could I know
[39:40] this is not the place, but these bring
[39:43] up the issues. Is there any way we could
[39:44] have a workshop at some point where we
[39:48] look out five years? Because we've had
[39:51] this bell curve of
[39:54] of
[39:55] development and we know that the number
[39:58] of houses being built every year is
[39:59] going down,
[40:01] for example. And so our budget is going
[40:04] to look very different in 5 years than
[40:06] it does right now.
[40:07] >> And I think if we're not preparing now
[40:09] » And I think if we're not preparing now
[40:09] for then, it's going to be a really
[40:11] harsh reality for when we get there. And
[40:13] I think it'd be very good for us as a
[40:15] council um to create a soft landing
[40:19] instead of a hard crash down the road.
[40:22] Um so if there's any way we could put
[40:24] together a workshop where we could
[40:25] project out five years and and talk
[40:27] about, you know, what are the
[40:29] possibilities, what do we need to
[40:30] prepare for, what might could we
[40:32] accomplish in the next 5 years? I think
[40:34] that'd be very beneficial for the city
[40:35] of Hlet.
[40:35] >> We can do that. We will do that. Uh just
[40:38] » We can do that. We will do that. Uh just
[40:38] to answer your question, um 2627
[40:43] we uh expect approximately 80 something
[40:47] homes to be built and the remainder 60
[40:53] plus homes would be finished out in 2728
[40:57] and then it's done. Single family
[41:00] residential construction is done. new
[41:03] construction.
[41:04] >> But
[41:05] » But
[41:05] >> so 2728 at the end of that is when that
[41:09] » so 2728 at the end of that is when that
[41:09] is expected to
[41:11] come. But the positive side of that is,
[41:15] you know, when a new home is built and
[41:21] it gets occupied, it can take as much as
[41:25] two years before the city sees any
[41:29] property tax revenue.
[41:32] Depends on when it goes on the books at
[41:34] the appraisal district.
[41:37] So it can take up to two years
[41:40] but so uh for I'll say a nominal two
[41:45] years after 2728
[41:48] you'll see that additional property tax
[41:50] revenue increase.
[41:54] >> Is that including the land just north of
[41:57] » Is that including the land just north of
[41:57] Oldtown here that is also zoned
[41:58] residential?
[42:01] The number of houses you're saying are
[42:02] left to be built.
[42:03] >> No, I think it's only on those current
[42:05] » No, I think it's only on those current
[42:05] subdivisions. the the current
[42:06] subdivision.
[42:07] >> Okay. Because I know that piece of land
[42:08] » Okay. Because I know that piece of land
[42:08] is zoned residential as well.
[42:10] >> That that does not include that because
[42:13] » That that does not include that because
[42:13] no developer or anyone in fact uh uh has
[42:18] inquired to do anything there.
[42:21] >> Thank you.
[42:21] » Thank you.
[42:21] >> Are you talking about the land west of
[42:23] » Are you talking about the land west of
[42:23] BNSF?
[42:24] >> No,
[42:24] » No,
[42:24] >> just right here on this side of the
[42:25] » just right here on this side of the
[42:25] tracks
[42:27] >> just north of just north street
[42:29] » just north of just north street
[42:29] >> and take a right. That field is res is
[42:31] » and take a right. That field is res is
[42:31] zoned residential. So to a few comments
[42:34] to you and you as well, Chris, whe
[42:36] whether he brings it or not, I I had
[42:38] actually already spoke to Tanya about
[42:39] this part of the strategic plan. Most
[42:41] cities have a five and a 10year budget.
[42:44] So as we get into the strategic plan,
[42:46] it's going to take them time to put
[42:48] together a five and 10ear financial
[42:50] plan. Um but that is something that I
[42:52] intend to bring forward if we don't get
[42:54] started on it anyways because the city
[42:56] needs it. There's no way we can plan for
[42:58] this infrastructure accurately with just
[43:01] this sheet. I mean, this is great, Mike.
[43:03] I think you've done a fantastic job, but
[43:05] we need to plug this in and kind of see
[43:06] the projection of money and potential
[43:08] tax rates when we need to go for a
[43:12] significant tax increase or a bond. We
[43:14] can't see that on this. Um, so
[43:18] >> I would like to make a comment to that
[43:20] » I would like to make a comment to that
[43:20] as these capital projects and water and
[43:23] sewer take into account all this
[43:26] finished out residential. I I understand
[43:29] >> and the population and projected
[43:32] » and the population and projected
[43:32] businesses that would come in many
[43:34] years.
[43:34] >> I understand. But for residents and for
[43:37] » I understand. But for residents and for
[43:37] the council to fully understand what's
[43:39] going to happen over the next five and
[43:40] again 10 years, we need to see a full
[43:43] budget projection, which most cities
[43:45] have. I did want to ask a question
[43:47] though, going back to today's agenda.
[43:48] The water impact fee, you said it was
[43:51] 2,000 per house being developed. Well,
[43:54] and then you said that we're going to
[43:56] build 80 houses this year. Well, your
[43:58] projection shows only 48 houses
[44:00] approximately paying that water impact
[44:02] fee.
[44:03] >> No, I said nominal. I I can pull up the,
[44:06] » No, I said nominal. I I can pull up the,
[44:06] you know, all the calculations that I
[44:08] did [clears throat] and I'll furnish
[44:10] that to you.
[44:12] >> I'm just I'm just asking. So, is it not
[44:14] » I'm just I'm just asking. So, is it not
[44:14] $2,000?
[44:16] >> I don't know the exact number.
[44:18] » I don't know the exact number.
[44:18] >> Okay. I just want to make sure
[44:19] » Okay. I just want to make sure
[44:19] >> I don't recall the exact number. I do
[44:21] » I don't recall the exact number. I do
[44:21] know what the number is and I I've used
[44:23] it, but to recall the exact number
[44:26] >> No, you're fine. didn't I'm just going
[44:27] » No, you're fine. didn't I'm just going
[44:27] off of what you said.
[44:28] >> Nominal. Yes.
[44:29] » Nominal. Yes.
[44:30] >> Okay.
[44:32] » Okay.
[44:32] If we can just double check those
[44:33] numbers because if we're building 80
[44:34] houses this year
[44:37] um and we haven't received the water
[44:38] impact fees yet, I'm just a little
[44:40] surprised at that significant decrease.
[44:42] I would expect a decrease but that that
[44:45] large I would see I would expect more of
[44:48] a step down. Well, I I'll send all of
[44:51] you that uh the water and sewer impact
[44:54] fees
[44:55] >> that have been applied.
[44:56] » that have been applied.
[44:56] >> Yeah, cuz Tanya Wait, question.
[44:57] » Yeah, cuz Tanya Wait, question.
[44:57] >> I mean, sorry, not Tanya, Jasmine.
[44:59] » I mean, sorry, not Tanya, Jasmine.
[44:59] >> Yeah.
[44:59] » Yeah.
[44:59] >> Yeah, cuz you're saying if
[45:01] » Yeah, cuz you're saying if
[45:01] >> 162 down to 181, this number 490 should
[45:04] » 162 down to 181, this number 490 should
[45:04] be half, not a quarter.
[45:05] >> That that is actually what I was about
[45:07] » That that is actually what I was about
[45:07] to say. If we did 162 last year at 490,
[45:10] we're almost expecting it to drop in
[45:12] half. Like you said, we should be at
[45:14] about 245.
[45:16] We
[45:16] >> We'll check those numbers and I'll send
[45:17] » We'll check those numbers and I'll send
[45:17] them to you.
[45:19] Okay. And same with sewer impact.
[45:21] >> Yes, both both impacts.
[45:23] » Yes, both both impacts.
[45:24] >> Okay.
[45:39] » Any other questions?
[45:44] » Okay. The the next special revenue fund
[45:46] is fund three um on page 229. This is
[45:50] for type B
[45:53] and um they have made quite a few
[45:56] changes in their budget. They um
[46:00] had a workshop and worked on this I
[46:03] think for a couple of meetings. Um
[46:07] starting off with the revenues
[46:10] um their major revenue is um sales tax
[46:14] and interest income.
[46:17] Um on the transfers out as I mentioned
[46:20] earlier they um transfer to fund a
[46:24] portion of the debt there 35,000
[46:27] on the transfer to the general fund.
[46:30] They if you'll look on page
[46:34] um
[46:37] 255.
[46:41] Um they
[46:44] they've transferred historically
[46:47] um an amount that's 212 well partially
[46:51] 21290 which was part for um just
[46:56] covering expenses of the general fund.
[46:58] So, um,
[47:01] >> you say 255
[47:02] » you say 255
[47:02] >> kind of like 233 25.
[47:04] » kind of like 233 25.
[47:04] >> Well, it's two Yeah. I'm not sure why
[47:06] » Well, it's two Yeah. I'm not sure why
[47:06] there's two different numbers. I think
[47:08] they must have put page numbers on what
[47:10] they gave me.
[47:11] >> I gota
[47:12] » I gota
[47:12] >> um
[47:14] » um
[47:14] but the count 03596100
[47:18] 0.
[47:19] So the um 21290
[47:23] historically has been the um 68.90 that
[47:27] they transfer in to fund some of the
[47:29] general fund expenditures and then the
[47:32] EDC coordinator third of that. So they
[47:36] have added um reimbursing the city for a
[47:40] portion of the um metroport chamber dues
[47:44] and then they've also added um a third
[47:47] of the economic development director.
[47:50] They're um I believe proposing to have u
[47:55] rehire a director. So that's why that uh
[47:59] transfer amount has gone up.
[48:01] >> May I ask a quick question, Mr. Mayor?
[48:03] » May I ask a quick question, Mr. Mayor?
[48:04] Yes. Um, so since EDC has the 13,200
[48:08] right here for the Metropport Chamber
[48:10] fees, can we already mark that out on
[48:13] our general budget or No,
[48:15] >> we we have to have it budgeted as
[48:17] » we we have to have it budgeted as
[48:18] expenditure and then we'll budget it as
[48:19] a transfer. It'll it'll wash.
[48:21] >> It'll wash.
[48:22] » It'll wash.
[48:22] >> Yeah.
[48:22] » Yeah.
[48:22] >> Okay. Thank you.
[48:23] » Okay. Thank you.
[48:23] >> Yes.
[48:24] » Yes.
[48:24] >> Who is I'm sorry, Mayor.
[48:27] » Who is I'm sorry, Mayor.
[48:27] >> Yes, ma'am.
[48:28] » Yes, ma'am.
[48:28] >> Um, Marcy, who is their coordinator?
[48:31] » Um, Marcy, who is their coordinator?
[48:32] >> That's Morris Swanky. Oh, okay. So, that
[48:34] » That's Morris Swanky. Oh, okay. So, that
[48:34] that's that one. Is there a way we can
[48:37] add also a note there like we did on the
[48:38] other line saying that that's with that
[48:41] that agreement with that company? I just
[48:42] think it's more clear than saying
[48:45] >> we've hired someone in the city. And
[48:47] » we've hired someone in the city. And
[48:47] then for the economic development
[48:49] director, is this one-third brought up
[48:52] to match what we
[48:56] >> that I have? No. uh because the number
[48:59] » that I have? No. uh because the number
[48:59] that we budgeted we didn't we didn't
[49:03] specify what was salary what was
[49:04] expenditures we just budgeted a total
[49:06] amount
[49:08] >> I also would point out that type A has
[49:10] » I also would point out that type A has
[49:10] not made the same budget um
[49:15] for a third so there'll be some things
[49:18] to work out if they decide to add that
[49:20] position
[49:21] >> okay so if yeah so if and I think we all
[49:24] » okay so if yeah so if and I think we all
[49:24] said we wanting to so what do we need to
[49:26] iron out to make sure that the funs are
[49:28] there to hire this position?
[49:30] >> Um,
[49:30] » Um,
[49:30] >> we can't put it in their budget or
[49:32] » we can't put it in their budget or
[49:32] change their amount in their budget, can
[49:33] we?
[49:34] >> No,
[49:34] » No,
[49:34] >> we can only remove
[49:35] » we can only remove
[49:36] >> B can change their budget.
[49:37] » B can change their budget.
[49:37] >> We can only remove if we don't agree.
[49:39] » We can only remove if we don't agree.
[49:39] >> They they can propose an amendment and
[49:41] » They they can propose an amendment and
[49:41] then
[49:41] >> and you approve it.
[49:42] » and you approve it.
[49:42] >> And then you approve it.
[49:43] » And then you approve it.
[49:43] >> Just approve the amendment.
[49:45] » Just approve the amendment.
[49:45] >> Okay. So, council, how do you guys want
[49:47] » Okay. So, council, how do you guys want
[49:47] to approach that?
[49:47] >> And same thing with A.
[49:49] » And same thing with A.
[49:49] >> You what?
[49:50] » You what?
[49:50] >> Same thing with A as well. Do we think A
[49:52] » Same thing with A as well. Do we think A
[49:52] is
[49:52] >> A would need I mean if if the assumption
[49:55] » A would need I mean if if the assumption
[49:55] is that A is going to pay a third they
[49:57] have not made the same budget.
[50:00] >> Yeah. Theirs is a lot lower. It's
[50:01] » Yeah. Theirs is a lot lower. It's
[50:01] 14,000.
[50:02] >> Yeah.
[50:03] » Yeah.
[50:03] >> The 14,000 is for Shrinky.

[50:08] » we have to do a 51,000 for the EDC

[50:09] position.
[50:10] >> Can you remind me what we put in on RN
[50:12] » Can you remind me what we put in on RN
[50:12] core?
[50:13] >> I think we put in um
[50:16] » I think we put in um
[50:16] 125,000. Hang on one second.
[50:19] >> 125,000 total. So we we do need to I
[50:21] » 125,000 total. So we we do need to I
[50:21] think specify and break that apart, but
[50:23] it looks like since we don't have type A
[50:26] agreeing, I almost think we we either
[50:29] need to plan to split with B or
[50:31] something because if not, we're not
[50:33] going to have this set up right to hire
[50:34] the position.
[50:34] >> Yeah, splitting would be a good idea to
[50:36] » Yeah, splitting would be a good idea to
[50:36] start and then going to A and see if
[50:38] what they would be willing to
[50:41] >> contribute.
[50:42] » contribute.
[50:42] >> I think the hard thing with A is they
[50:43] » I think the hard thing with A is they
[50:43] meet very they don't meet very frequent.
[50:46] I mean like they're like every quarter
[50:48] and then you know us and
[50:50] >> uh type B meet every month and then when
[50:53] » uh type B meet every month and then when
[50:53] they only meet every quarter I mean I
[50:54] don't know when's their next meeting is.
[50:56] So it's kind of like you know I know
[50:57] they did probably did their budget a
[50:58] good while back because their meetings
[51:00] are so
[51:01] >> spread out. So that's something we need
[51:03] » spread out. So that's something we need
[51:03] to talk with them about or either split
[51:05] it 7575 with um or whatever the number
[51:09] is um with me.
[51:11] >> I'm going back I'm sorry. What page is
[51:13] » I'm going back I'm sorry. What page is
[51:13] the What page did we put the economic
[51:16] development? Where was it?
[51:19] >> We created a new department.
[51:21] » We created a new department.
[51:21] >> Oh, yes. I see.
[51:22] » Oh, yes. I see.
[51:22] >> And so I've added it onto the general
[51:25] » And so I've added it onto the general
[51:25] fund summary. You should have
[51:27] >> a summary on your
[51:30] » a summary on your
[51:30] >> Do you remember how much we said we
[51:31] » Do you remember how much we said we
[51:31] wanted to pay him versus his or per them
[51:34] versus their budget? I don't I just
[51:37] remember we talked about a salary and
[51:39] some startup expenses, but I didn't have
[51:41] in my notes.
[51:42] >> I think we we
[51:44] » I think we we
[51:44] >> I didn't either. I'm looking at my
[51:46] » I didn't either. I'm looking at my
[51:46] notes. Um
[51:49] >> and I don't either.
[51:50] » and I don't either.
[51:50] >> I have 82 or 85,000 that was thinking it
[51:55] » I have 82 or 85,000 that was thinking it
[51:55] was being split though and 42,000
[51:58] for I don't know. We We need to fix this
[52:01] real quick because this is going to end
[52:02] up causing a problem for us.
[52:04] >> Excuse me. So you're
[52:07] » Excuse me. So you're
[52:07] you're looking at type B right now. Yes.
[52:10] Your budget
[52:11] >> and versus how it speaks to ours what
[52:14] » and versus how it speaks to ours what
[52:14] they have versus what we have in the
[52:16] fact that type A did not contribute. So
[52:18] this is a problem in the budget across
[52:19] three different places.
[52:20] >> The uh so it's typically it always has
[52:24] » The uh so it's typically it always has
[52:24] been a third of it from each.
[52:26] >> I understand but we don't have
[52:28] » I understand but we don't have
[52:28] concurrence from A that they would do
[52:30] that. So that means we have to plan as
[52:32] if A is not going to agree otherwise we
[52:34] wouldn't have the funds to make this
[52:35] position possible this year.
[52:37] >> So uh on I think you mentioned earlier
[52:40] » So uh on I think you mentioned earlier
[52:40] to put in B's budget to make it explicit
[52:46] this coordinator is
[52:48] >> Bureitos.
[52:50] » Bureitos.
[52:50] >> I would not do that. In fact you can't
[52:52] » I would not do that. In fact you can't
[52:52] do that to their budget. They had to
[52:54] make that change. We can make it make a
[52:57] note and make a suggestion
[52:58] >> but if you put a company specific in
[53:02] » but if you put a company specific in
[53:02] that budget line item. Guess what? You
[53:05] can only spend it. It is not set in
[53:07] stone that it's going to always be
[53:09] bureau veritos.
[53:11] >> Marcy,
[53:12] » Marcy,
[53:12] >> so it is a CD uh an economic development
[53:15] » so it is a CD uh an economic development
[53:15] coordinator.
[53:16] >> Marcy, for the description, how can we
[53:19] » Marcy, for the description, how can we
[53:20] clarify that better?
[53:22] >> Um well, so I have a question. If
[53:25] » Um well, so I have a question. If
[53:25] they're going to hire their own, they
[53:28] may not need this 144
[53:30] Are they hiring there?
[53:34] » It would be for the city, but again, it
[53:36] would be the split.
[53:39] >> My understanding is that since
[53:40] » My understanding is that since
[53:40] Veraritoss is more of a planning
[53:42] organization than a development
[53:43] organization,
[53:45] >> the 144 is staying in there to keep the
[53:47] » the 144 is staying in there to keep the
[53:47] planner part.
[53:48] >> Okay.
[53:49] » Okay.
[53:49] >> And they're hiring we're hiring a new
[53:51] » And they're hiring we're hiring a new
[53:51] position for economic development
[53:52] coordinator that is only going to focus
[53:54] on
[53:55] >> de like building the business community
[53:57] » de like building the business community
[53:57] in town. and it's going to be a a city
[54:01] staff person.
[54:02] >> Okay.
[54:02] » Okay.
[54:02] >> So, that's why there needed to be two
[54:04] » So, that's why there needed to be two
[54:04] lines.
[54:04] >> It their line just needs to match our
[54:06] » It their line just needs to match our
[54:06] line because they're paying a third of
[54:07] it. So, whatever description we updated
[54:09] to, it should correlate to speak to the
[54:11] residents. That's not us directing them.
[54:13] I I can't remember what we decided
[54:15] [clears throat] the terminology was at
[54:16] the last meeting, but we we said to
[54:18] update the description, and if they're
[54:20] matching that third, why would the
[54:22] description not be able to match?
[54:25] Um, well, I think what he's saying is it
[54:27] can match to say EDC coordinator, but it
[54:30] wouldn't necessarily match.
[54:32] >> Could we just state bureau verat
[54:33] » Could we just state bureau verat
[54:33] contract with city or it doesn't have to
[54:35] even say the company, but we need to
[54:37] specify a little bit more because this
[54:39] looks like we could be hiring someone
[54:40] for this city
[54:42] >> in my opinion.
[54:43] » in my opinion.
[54:43] >> I would have put the word contract,
[54:45] » I would have put the word contract,
[54:45] >> EDC coordinator, one-third contract,
[54:47] » EDC coordinator, one-third contract,
[54:47] something like that.
[54:49] >> It just cleans it up.
[54:51] » It just cleans it up.
[54:51] >> Okay. I know the may I know the mayor
[54:53] » Okay. I know the may I know the mayor
[54:53] said a while ago that typically it's
[54:55] always been it's third and a third and
[54:57] third between A and B and council or A
[54:59] and B and the city.
[55:00] >> Um but I don't know does A know even
[55:03] » Um but I don't know does A know even
[55:03] know about this that we're wanting to do
[55:05] this or not?
[55:06] >> No. Oh well the third third has always
[55:10] » No. Oh well the third third has always
[55:10] been done that way.
[55:10] >> Well but does this does type A know
[55:12] » Well but does this does type A know
[55:12] about this economic developer? Because
[55:14] if they did they would have probably put
[55:15] on their budget. So that makes me think
[55:17] they didn't know about it.
[55:19] I believe they passed their budget
[55:20] before this.
[55:21] >> Very well. So,
[55:23] » Very well. So,
[55:23] >> but the other aspect in looking at this
[55:25] » but the other aspect in looking at this
[55:25] is okay, we do a third, a third, a third
[55:29] and I observe that uh
[55:33] uh type B consumes probably
[55:39] 80%
[55:41] of that manpower
[55:44] and everybody else is. So to look at B a
[55:47] separate corporation
[55:50] to ask them to pay
[55:53] the same amount B should be paying a
[55:56] higher percentage of that use.
[55:58] >> Okay. I I disagree because this is for
[56:01] » Okay. I I disagree because this is for
[56:01] the benefit of the entire city and also
[56:03] we don't want it to where they're
[56:06] working for type B. They should be
[56:08] working for the whole city. My
[56:09] suggestion would be since we don't have
[56:11] type A on board, take what uh type B did
[56:14] because that says 1/3, times it by two,
[56:17] we'll cover 2/3 salary and benefit under
[56:20] our line item for this year and then
[56:22] give them a small budget to get them
[56:24] going while we get them hired and on
[56:25] board. That would be my suggestion. And
[56:27] if next year
[56:27] >> Yeah, I agree. Which is 10334
[56:30] » Yeah, I agree. Which is 10334
[56:30] is double. But then so that would go
[56:32] into our general fund where it says
[56:34] economic development and change from the
[56:36] 125.
[56:37] >> Yes. Yes. And then we do a separate line
[56:38] » Yes. Yes. And then we do a separate line
[56:38] item for budget. What was that number?
[56:40] 103
[56:40] >> 103 334.
[56:42] » 103 334.
[56:42] >> 10334.
[56:45] » 10334.
[56:45] >> Okay. What are you changing? What page?
[56:47] » Okay. What are you changing? What page?
[56:47] >> Um, so it's I'll have to find the page
[56:51] » Um, so it's I'll have to find the page
[56:51] again. So on the type B, we're not
[56:54] changing anything besides updating EDC
[56:56] coordinator to say
[56:58] um contract. But if you go to page 32,
[57:02] well, no, we you created a whole new
[57:04] >> Yeah. So it would be the new general
[57:06] » Yeah. So it would be the new general
[57:06] budget.
[57:06] >> Yeah, it' be the new general.
[57:09] » Yeah, it' be the new general.
[57:09] >> Would you do it below? It says economic
[57:10] » Would you do it below? It says economic
[57:10] development. Would you just add it to
[57:11] the 125 or do you want it like called
[57:13] out something different?
[57:15] >> We need to call
[57:15] » We need to call
[57:16] >> if you want to break it out. Yeah.
[57:18] » if you want to break it out. Yeah.
[57:18] Because if it's part of it's going to be
[57:21] salary and benefits and then
[57:23] >> we'll put out their Medicare and all the
[57:26] » we'll put out their Medicare and all the
[57:26] things. So I guess under the economic
[57:28] development and expenditures on the
[57:30] general fund, we'd add an additional
[57:34] >> we'd do line item 10334 for salary and
[57:37] » we'd do line item 10334 for salary and
[57:37] benefits and then we need to talk about
[57:38] a budget and that would
[57:40] >> I don't think we break it out anymore
[57:42] » I don't think we break it out anymore
[57:42] because we need to wait till they get in
[57:43] here and tell us what they need. We
[57:44] don't want to
[57:45] >> So do you not want to keep the 125 as
[57:47] » So do you not want to keep the 125 as
[57:47] the budget already set? No, I would
[57:49] change it to the 103334 and then do a
[57:51] separate line item of budget.
[57:53] >> Okay.
[57:54] » Okay.
[57:54] >> Which the question is you're going to
[57:56] » Which the question is you're going to
[57:56] about six months to make sure you find
[57:57] the right person
[57:59] in the speed of city. So, how much of a
[58:02] budget do you think they need for 6
[58:04] months as they're getting in here? I
[58:05] would say maybe 50,000.
[58:07] >> I say 50. I think 50 is fair.
[58:08] » I say 50. I think 50 is fair.
[58:08] >> It's not 50.
[58:10] » It's not 50.
[58:10] >> What page are you making this change on?
[58:12] » What page are you making this change on?
[58:12] We're looking at the the general budget
[58:14] updated sheet that
[58:15] >> I can't call out by page because that we
[58:17] » I can't call out by page because that we
[58:17] created a new
[58:20] >> Yeah, I believe it was an admin before.
[58:23] » Yeah, I believe it was an admin before.
[58:23] >> Yeah, it was it was on page 30. I was
[58:25] » Yeah, it was it was on page 30. I was
[58:25] just on I'm sorry,
[58:28] >> but we It was on page 32 before
[58:32] » but we It was on page 32 before
[58:32] >> 32.
[58:33] » 32.
[58:33] >> It was, but she's creating a new
[58:35] » It was, but she's creating a new
[58:35] department or however you want to.
[58:37] >> Yeah.
[58:39] » Yeah.
[58:39] >> Jazz, where are you getting the 50,000?
[58:40] » Jazz, where are you getting the 50,000?
[58:40] Because if we're given if that they're
[58:42] budgeting 50 and then we're judging 100.
[58:44] So
[58:44] >> So if you if you look at their words,
[58:46] » So if you if you look at their words,
[58:46] yeah, if you look at their words for it
[58:48] says for salaries and benefits, they did
[58:50] not say anything about covering their
[58:52] expenses. So that's something we can
[58:54] also bring to type B. I think next year
[58:56] we get ahead of the budget and pre talk
[58:58] to both of these boards about truly
[59:00] covering because the expenses will be a
[59:02] lot more the following year as this
[59:04] person gets hired on and has a plan for
[59:06] the city. But I think 50,000 should be
[59:08] enough for them to get in here, learn
[59:10] the city, do what they need to do, and
[59:12] if not, we can amend if there's an
[59:14] emergent need.
[59:16] >> Well, maybe we can start doing the
[59:17] » Well, maybe we can start doing the
[59:17] budget stuff like in June and start
[59:19] >> that's how it should be.
[59:20] » that's how it should be.
[59:20] >> So, are you wanting me to show salary
[59:22] » So, are you wanting me to show salary
[59:22] and benefits 51667?
[59:24] >> No, it should be double because we're
[59:26] » No, it should be double because we're
[59:26] going to cover 2/3 since we don't have
[59:28] type A um on board.
[59:30] >> So, that would be 103334.
[59:33] » So, that would be 103334.
[59:33] Correct, Tanya?
[59:33] >> Correct. And then a $50,000
[59:37] » Correct. And then a $50,000
[59:37] budget for
[59:39] >> expenses.
[59:40] » expenses.
[59:40] >> Expenses, not personal, for city
[59:42] » Expenses, not personal, for city
[59:42] expenses.
[59:43] >> Okay. So that's about 25,000 over what
[59:45] » Okay. So that's about 25,000 over what
[59:46] we already have. Okay.
[59:50] >> Okay.
[59:50] » Okay.
[59:50] >> I think we had thought type A was going
[59:53] » I think we had thought type A was going
[59:53] to be in here, but since it's not kind
[59:56] of puts a pickle in it.
[1:00:04] Okay. Um, moving on from
[1:00:08] that line, I think the other biggest
[1:00:12] change to their budget
[1:00:15] um
[1:00:16] is them anticipating some special
[1:00:20] projects.
[1:00:24] um they pretty much kept their um
[1:00:28] operations and maintenance and and um
[1:00:32] professional services about the same.
[1:00:34] But if you look on page 230,
[1:00:38] they have put in 2,330,000
[1:00:43] for future projects.
[1:00:47] >> Yeah. Page 230.
[1:00:51] spells it out.
[1:00:55] » Yeah. Yeah.
[1:00:57] >> Page 261 breaks it out.
[1:01:05] Mayor
[1:01:08] >> Yes, ma'am.
[1:01:09] » Yes, ma'am.
[1:01:09] >> May I start conversation about this?
[1:01:11] » May I start conversation about this?
[1:01:11] >> Pardon?
[1:01:11] » Pardon?
[1:01:11] >> Can I start talking about this?
[1:01:13] » Can I start talking about this?
[1:01:13] >> Sure.
[1:01:14] » Sure.
[1:01:14] >> Okay. So, I have a question for the
[1:01:19] » Okay. So, I have a question for the
[1:01:19] 1 million. Oh, wait. Where did it go? It
[1:01:22] changed it.
[1:01:26] So,
[1:01:27] >> oh, the 1 million east of 156 south of
[1:01:29] » oh, the 1 million east of 156 south of
[1:01:29] Hlet Parkways.
[1:01:32] I have no problem with a park on that
[1:01:34] side of town. That's where I live. I do
[1:01:36] have a problem with us putting a budget
[1:01:38] forth for something that we don't even
[1:01:40] know where it's going to go. We don't
[1:01:42] even have a plan in mind and we're
[1:01:43] saying we're going to spend a million on
[1:01:44] it next year. Um,
[1:01:48] also I have questions about the process.
[1:01:50] If you guys don't have problems with
[1:01:51] that, then I just have a questions about
[1:01:53] the process. I just think we're supposed
[1:01:55] to be budgeting what we're going to
[1:01:56] spend. If we don't even have land,
[1:02:01] I definitely have questions.
[1:02:02] >> What's the east of 156 south of Where is
[1:02:04] » What's the east of 156 south of Where is
[1:02:04] that? You said you they're just calling
[1:02:06] for a park somewhere on that side of
[1:02:07] town.
[1:02:08] >> That's what they're saying. They want
[1:02:09] » That's what they're saying. They want
[1:02:09] this is this is to appease Sweetg Grass
[1:02:12] and a little bit of Careway because they
[1:02:13] were promised a park
[1:02:15] >> and a lot of the money that they
[1:02:19] » and a lot of the money that they
[1:02:19] um contributed when they built their
[1:02:20] house went to the park funds. And I I
[1:02:23] think part of it they were promised by
[1:02:26] the developers a park on that side of
[1:02:28] the town. But I also think we need to
[1:02:29] clear up the verbiage here that the park
[1:02:32] funds provided from those houses, it
[1:02:36] [snorts] was for all of the city of
[1:02:37] Hasslet. It never anywhere stipulated
[1:02:39] that it had to go to Careway or Sweet
[1:02:40] Grass. Um, which isn't really fair to
[1:02:43] all those that were lied to. I was one
[1:02:44] of the people that were lied to. Um, I
[1:02:47] would love a park over there.
[1:02:50] I just have a problem with a general
[1:02:52] statement. I guess
[1:02:54] >> I think
[1:02:55] » I think
[1:02:55] >> I would like to interject here. It is in
[1:02:58] » I would like to interject here. It is in
[1:02:58] our ordinance that those park fund fees
[1:03:01] that each home site pays
[1:03:03] >> goes to the general fund.
[1:03:05] » goes to the general fund.
[1:03:05] >> Yeah. Yes. That's what that's what I'm
[1:03:06] » Yeah. Yes. That's what that's what I'm
[1:03:06] saying. You said we need to clarify the
[1:03:09] language. The ordinance does clarify
[1:03:10] that.
[1:03:11] >> I know. But for people that don't know
[1:03:13] » I know. But for people that don't know
[1:03:13] all the ordinances, they don't
[1:03:15] understand. They think we paid for a
[1:03:16] park. We should be getting a park. And
[1:03:18] and I agree when
[1:03:20] >> the developer speaks a lot on our behalf
[1:03:22] » the developer speaks a lot on our behalf
[1:03:22] that we don't agree with.
[1:03:24] >> Yes. But I'm just saying since we're
[1:03:26] » Yes. But I'm just saying since we're
[1:03:26] speaking on it right now, I think it's
[1:03:27] important that we clarify the city has
[1:03:29] not done anything wrong by spending the
[1:03:31] money on the the main park in the city.
[1:03:34] But you can understand residents
[1:03:37] frustration that they're the main
[1:03:38] contributors and it's hard for them to
[1:03:40] access. That said, a general statement
[1:03:44] for a park where no land is identified.
[1:03:46] I I have concerns and questions.
[1:03:49] >> I would like to make this. Okay. Uh
[1:03:52] » I would like to make this. Okay. Uh
[1:03:52] you're discussing Ty's budget.
[1:03:55] >> Okay.
[1:03:56] » Okay.
[1:03:56] >> Well, their future projects specifically
[1:03:58] » Well, their future projects specifically
[1:03:58] >> their future projects. Well, this is
[1:04:01] » their future projects. Well, this is
[1:04:01] their budget. They're a separate
[1:04:02] corporation. Yes.
[1:04:04] >> And we're just in the enabling entity.
[1:04:07] » And we're just in the enabling entity.
[1:04:07] That's what the city is. U now they have
[1:04:10] these funds in here. They can't spend
[1:04:13] any of this money until they turn that
[1:04:15] into a project, have a resolution, and
[1:04:17] it goes before the city council for
[1:04:19] approval.
[1:04:21] >> These are just numbers. So that was that
[1:04:23] » These are just numbers. So that was that
[1:04:23] was what I said at the beginning by
[1:04:25] understanding the process because I
[1:04:27] understood that for the park that we're
[1:04:29] working on um right now where there was
[1:04:32] back and forth if they had the funds
[1:04:33] available my understanding is that they
[1:04:35] wouldn't have to come back to city
[1:04:36] council. Is that different? So that's
[1:04:39] that is a question I had.
[1:04:40] >> Excuse me. Say the park
[1:04:42] » Excuse me. Say the park
[1:04:42] >> the park that the park the playground
[1:04:45] » the park that the park the playground
[1:04:45] >> yeah because my understanding is if
[1:04:46] » yeah because my understanding is if
[1:04:46] they'd come in under budget they
[1:04:48] wouldn't have had to come back to
[1:04:49] council. So, how is that different with
[1:04:51] a new So, if we gave them a million
[1:04:53] dollars and they went out and got a bid
[1:04:55] and all that, do they have to come back
[1:04:58] before city council for approval? That
[1:04:59] was what I was
[1:05:00] >> Yes. Correct. Yes. With the resolution
[1:05:02] » Yes. Correct. Yes. With the resolution
[1:05:02] >> to spend the remainder of the money
[1:05:05] » to spend the remainder of the money
[1:05:05] >> to So, say the park came in at 800,000.
[1:05:07] » to So, say the park came in at 800,000.
[1:05:07] Yes.
[1:05:08] >> Can they just go do it or do they have
[1:05:09] » Can they just go do it or do they have
[1:05:09] to come back to city council?
[1:05:11] >> We would have had to approve that they
[1:05:13] » We would have had to approve that they
[1:05:13] could spend up to a million prior
[1:05:16] today. They were just saying, "Okay,
[1:05:17] we'll let them budget this amount." And
[1:05:19] then once they find the project, fund
[1:05:22] it, then they'll come to us and say,
[1:05:24] >> um, we want to use 900,000 for this
[1:05:27] » um, we want to use 900,000 for this
[1:05:27] project resolution. What do you think?
[1:05:29] And we'll say yes or no.
[1:05:30] >> So, they will have to come before us,
[1:05:32] » So, they will have to come before us,
[1:05:32] correct, with the location and what
[1:05:35] their resolution, all the details,
[1:05:37] >> and adopt it, formally adopt it. They
[1:05:39] » and adopt it, formally adopt it. They
[1:05:39] adopt it formally as a project and
[1:05:42] submit it to the city council for
[1:05:44] approval. This is just Mayor May I be
[1:05:46] recognized?
[1:05:47] >> It be a project definition and the
[1:05:50] » It be a project definition and the
[1:05:50] amount.
[1:05:50] >> Okay.
[1:05:50] » Okay.
[1:05:50] >> Mayor, may I be recognized?
[1:05:54] » May I be recognized?
[1:05:56] >> Say that again.
[1:05:56] » Say that again.
[1:05:56] >> May I be recognized, sir?
[1:05:58] » May I be recognized, sir?
[1:05:58] >> Yes. Uh EDCB's intent this year, as has
[1:06:02] » Yes. Uh EDCB's intent this year, as has
[1:06:02] been uh conveyed a couple of times, but
[1:06:05] EDCB's con intent this year is to by
[1:06:09] budgeting these listing these projects
[1:06:11] out in its budget uh in accordance with
[1:06:13] state law that if that is budgeted and
[1:06:15] that uh these projects get approved that
[1:06:18] that and the mayor is correct, there
[1:06:20] would be resolution, there would be uh
[1:06:22] public hearings, but that that would
[1:06:24] basically start the 60-day process as
[1:06:27] opposed to them going throughout
[1:06:29] throughout the year with this project,
[1:06:30] that project. It is it does not mean
[1:06:32] that the listing right here is the
[1:06:35] extent of that project. Um there those
[1:06:37] projects would still be spelled out, but
[1:06:38] the intent is that that would be
[1:06:40] happening basically on the front end of
[1:06:42] their budget as opposed to through
[1:06:44] throughout the year project by project.
[1:06:46] >> This well I uh that's not correct. That
[1:06:50] » This well I uh that's not correct. That
[1:06:50] 60-day process starts after the
[1:06:52] resolution and the adoption of the
[1:06:55] project. And the matter being he gives
[1:06:58] the public time to come back and
[1:07:00] respond.
[1:07:02] >> Now this they can't spend any of this
[1:07:04] » Now this they can't spend any of this
[1:07:04] money. This is not project approval.
[1:07:07] >> And I did not state that this was
[1:07:09] » And I did not state that this was
[1:07:09] project approval, sir. But this process
[1:07:11] has been laid out by their attorney as
[1:07:13] well. Um that they can through the
[1:07:16] budgeting process that they can start
[1:07:18] this process. does not mean that just it
[1:07:20] being on this sheet is uh intended as
[1:07:23] that
[1:07:24] >> of that attorney's analysis.
[1:07:26] » of that attorney's analysis.
[1:07:26] >> I'll be happy to speak with the EDC
[1:07:28] » I'll be happy to speak with the EDC
[1:07:28] president and and to get you that
[1:07:29] attorney's analysis.
[1:07:30] >> Get that.
[1:07:31] » Get that.
[1:07:31] >> Yes, sir.
[1:07:32] » Yes, sir.
[1:07:32] >> Okay. If that's the case, if we still
[1:07:33] » Okay. If that's the case, if we still
[1:07:33] get kind of them coming to us, then I I
[1:07:36] don't care. It's their their budget. Um
[1:07:39] anybody
[1:07:39] >> Okay. I had I want to just add that
[1:07:41] » Okay. I had I want to just add that
[1:07:41] since there's two things on here that
[1:07:43] are well three I guess that are park
[1:07:45] related like the smart lockers and the
[1:07:46] adult changing table that we still I'm
[1:07:50] okay approving this but but it still
[1:07:52] needs to at some point go through the
[1:07:54] process of the parks board to make sure
[1:07:56] >> that they're good with the smart
[1:07:58] » that they're good with the smart
[1:07:58] location uh or smart locker location or
[1:08:00] they're good with the adult changing
[1:08:01] table implementation that we're not um
[1:08:05] circumventing that board's impact on
[1:08:08] these on these projects. as well.
[1:08:10] >> We did put it in writing that it's
[1:08:11] » We did put it in writing that it's
[1:08:11] required to go to them. So,
[1:08:14] um any I guess one final question I had
[1:08:19] or not even question more I'm hoping
[1:08:21] council will agree. I see on here that
[1:08:23] they want to travel to ICSC cornet or
[1:08:26] something like that. They put 10,000
[1:08:27] travel expenses and I think that's great
[1:08:30] that they go. I think as a city we're
[1:08:32] not ready to represent ourselves yet. I
[1:08:34] think we need to get that econom e
[1:08:36] economic development manager or director
[1:08:38] on before we are doing our own booth.
[1:08:42] And if that makes sense, I think they
[1:08:44] should go and learn this year. I think
[1:08:46] that'd be great, but I think we need to
[1:08:47] get our stuff together a little bit more
[1:08:49] before we start selling ourselves.
[1:08:51] >> Do you read this as they're going to
[1:08:52] » Do you read this as they're going to
[1:08:52] actually participate or just go and
[1:08:55] >> I am attend?
[1:08:56] » I am attend?
[1:08:56] >> I'm not sure. and I spoke to them and I
[1:08:58] » I'm not sure. and I spoke to them and I
[1:08:58] don't think they're sure yet either, but
[1:09:00] I I think it's really important and when
[1:09:02] when you look into it cuz I did do some
[1:09:03] research, it's very important that we're
[1:09:06] presenting ourselves correctly the first
[1:09:07] time and we have someone experienced in
[1:09:10] presenting the city. Um, not necessarily
[1:09:12] the volunteers of the city, even though
[1:09:13] I think what they're doing is great, we
[1:09:15] just need to make sure we're doing it
[1:09:17] right the first time.
[1:09:19] >> So, how would we clarify that on
[1:09:21] » So, how would we clarify that on
[1:09:21] >> I think going to learn is a great idea.
[1:09:23] » I think going to learn is a great idea.
[1:09:23] >> Yeah,
[1:09:23] » Yeah,
[1:09:23] >> that that's what I think this year
[1:09:24] » that that's what I think this year
[1:09:24] should be. And I I really hope that the
[1:09:26] economic development manager is hired by
[1:09:28] then. But
[1:09:28] >> could the Could this Well, no, we can't
[1:09:30] » could the Could this Well, no, we can't
[1:09:30] change this. I'm just saying could it
[1:09:31] say attending and not participating? I
[1:09:34] don't [clears throat] know if
[1:09:34] >> I think that's just a conversation with
[1:09:36] » I think that's just a conversation with
[1:09:36] a conversation.
[1:09:37] >> I think it's a conversation. I just
[1:09:38] » I think it's a conversation. I just
[1:09:38] wanted to see if you guys agreed.
[1:09:40] >> Where does it
[1:09:43] » Where does it
[1:09:43] >> It just says traveling to
[1:09:44] » It just says traveling to
[1:09:44] >> 238
[1:09:46] » 238

[1:09:50] >> He's asking where it says participate.
[1:09:51] » He's asking where it says participate.
[1:09:51] It doesn't say that. So Joe, could you
[1:09:53] just make sure that the HC EDC type B
[1:09:56] understands that from council? We don't
[1:09:59] want them setting up a booth and
[1:10:00] presenting, but more going to learn if
[1:10:03] that's what they're doing this year
[1:10:04] while we get that economic development
[1:10:05] director
[1:10:06] >> in place
[1:10:07] » in place
[1:10:07] >> in place
[1:10:08] » in place

[1:10:10] » because that happens in Januaryish that
[1:10:10] convention. Do you know?
[1:10:13] I believe it's later in the year, but
[1:10:15] the the main one they do different
[1:10:17] things, but I believe the main one's uh
[1:10:19] >> I think it's
[1:10:19] » I think it's
[1:10:19] >> later in the year because I believe this
[1:10:21] » later in the year because I believe this
[1:10:21] the one for this year I believe just
[1:10:23] passed two or three months ago.
[1:10:24] >> Yes, May.

[1:10:35] » since we're done with that discussion,
[1:10:35] um I don't know if it's appropriate or
[1:10:36] not, but is there any way we could have
[1:10:39] uh Mike Anderson go ahead and do his
[1:10:40] piece because he's paid by the hour by
[1:10:42] the city and he's already sat here for
[1:10:45] an hour and a half.
[1:10:47] >> Understood. Uh Marcy is in the middle of
[1:10:49] » Understood. Uh Marcy is in the middle of
[1:10:49] her presentation. Let her close, let her
[1:10:52] finish this out. It should not take a
[1:10:54] long time, but understand it's all
[1:10:56] dependent upon the discussion that you
[1:10:58] have. So, I need to understand, are you
[1:11:01] disapproving the EDC type B budget right
[1:11:04] now?
[1:11:04] >> No, we're approving it as it's stated.
[1:11:07] » No, we're approving it as it's stated.
[1:11:07] Joe's just going to provide additional
[1:11:08] clarification and we're just cleaning up
[1:11:10] the verbiage for one line. Marcy,
[1:11:14] >> they cleaned up verbiage on the line and
[1:11:16] » they cleaned up verbiage on the line and
[1:11:16] then they made a change in the general
[1:11:18] fund, but they did not make any changes
[1:11:20] to type B other than description.
[1:11:24] >> I did have one other question on type B
[1:11:25] » I did have one other question on type B
[1:11:25] on page 241. And it says park
[1:11:27] bench/cannopy 2025 and I had I don't
[1:11:31] know why but I had written down 6463. Is
[1:11:33] that completed? Is that there's nothing
[1:11:35] budgeted. I was just
[1:11:38] h it's completed.
[1:11:39] >> Yeah, it shows that it is expended 2425
[1:11:42] » Yeah, it shows that it is expended 2425
[1:11:42] 5,863.
[1:11:44] >> Oh, then it says above it 5863. Right.
[1:11:46] » Oh, then it says above it 5863. Right.
[1:11:46] So I'm not but nothing's in the actual
[1:11:48] um columns.
[1:11:50] >> I think it's done.
[1:11:51] » I think it's done.
[1:11:51] >> It's done.
[1:11:52] » It's done.
[1:11:52] >> Finished.
[1:11:53] » Finished.
[1:11:53] >> Complete. Thank you.
[1:12:00] Okay. The ne the next one is type A. T
[1:12:03] type A really made no significant
[1:12:05] changes to their budget. Um
[1:12:12] I don't know that um
[1:12:16] >> can I unless
[1:12:17] » can I unless
[1:12:17] >> you have some question oh sorry mayor.
[1:12:19] » you have some question oh sorry mayor.
[1:12:19] >> Yes ma'am.
[1:12:20] » Yes ma'am.
[1:12:20] >> What what is the intent and purpose of
[1:12:22] » What what is the intent and purpose of
[1:12:22] our taipe? And I'm asking this because
[1:12:25] we're going over the budget. So I just
[1:12:27] need to understand because they don't
[1:12:28] meet very frequently. I feel like we
[1:12:30] have a pretty decent amount of money
[1:12:32] just sitting there.
[1:12:34] >> Uh then I I'll give you that.
[1:12:36] » Uh then I I'll give you that.
[1:12:36] >> Uh
[1:12:39] » Uh
[1:12:39] type A was uh established purely for
[1:12:42] industrial type projects. State law
[1:12:45] established it that way. And
[1:12:49] [clears throat] uh type B was
[1:12:52] established. It could do industrial
[1:12:54] projects, but it's uh it was established
[1:12:57] by uh legislators so that
[1:13:02] that economic development corporation
[1:13:05] could expend funds on the city itself.
[1:13:08] They recognized, oh, if they could if
[1:13:11] the they had an economic development
[1:13:14] corporation that could spend money on a
[1:13:17] park or help build water lines for the
[1:13:22] municipality or help build a road that
[1:13:25] enhances the municipality, makes it more
[1:13:28] attractive indirectly making it
[1:13:32] improving the economic development
[1:13:34] viability of the municipality. That was
[1:13:37] fundamental row and probably
[1:13:40] I'm going to say two legislations ago or
[1:13:44] maybe might have been three six years
[1:13:48] >> the legislators made a change that type
[1:13:52] » the legislators made a change that type
[1:13:52] A
[1:13:54] was no longer limited to just industrial
[1:13:57] projects
[1:13:59] that they could expend money as
[1:14:04] type B does on municipal projects.
[1:14:08] >> Okay. So, can I ask you a question?
[1:14:10] » Okay. So, can I ask you a question?
[1:14:10] >> One more thing. The meetings, it's in
[1:14:14] » One more thing. The meetings, it's in
[1:14:14] their bylaws.
[1:14:16] They meet at least once a quarter.
[1:14:19] >> I I understand. But the the question is
[1:14:23] » I I understand. But the the question is
[1:14:23] like what are they doing to to really
[1:14:26] assist the city at this point? I I
[1:14:28] understand they're you're saying they're
[1:14:30] for industrial.
[1:14:31] >> We haven't asked them. The city has not
[1:14:34] » We haven't asked them. The city has not
[1:14:34] asked them. the the primary you know
[1:14:37] when these EDCs were established
[1:14:40] originally in Hasslet, Texas and as well
[1:14:43] as currently as many cities use their
[1:14:49] EDCs.
[1:14:51] >> They are a funding source.
[1:14:53] » They are a funding source.
[1:14:53] >> I mean but that funding
[1:14:54] » I mean but that funding
[1:14:54] >> they don't say go out and hunt for
[1:14:56] » they don't say go out and hunt for
[1:14:56] things to do.
[1:14:57] >> No, I understand. But that funding would
[1:14:58] » No, I understand. But that funding would
[1:14:58] go back to the general fund if we were
[1:15:00] to like dissolve the type A. My my
[1:15:03] question being right now when industrial
[1:15:04] wouldn't it would what what would
[1:15:06] happen?
[1:15:06] >> No, this is its own fund. So um
[1:15:11] » No, this is its own fund. So um
[1:15:11] they're they're it's much like type um
[1:15:14] B's budget. They're budgeting just in
[1:15:16] case. The last time they had an
[1:15:18] incentive was with composits one and
[1:15:22] composits one was required to add
[1:15:24] certain number of jobs and you know
[1:15:26] things like that but they don't pay the
[1:15:28] incentive until all those requirements
[1:15:30] are met and the company makes the
[1:15:32] application for reimbursement
[1:15:34] >> and so that's the last one they've had.
[1:15:37] » and so that's the last one they've had.
[1:15:37] It's been many years that agreement has
[1:15:39] expired. They never ask for any
[1:15:42] reimbursement under it. So, it's really
[1:15:44] just a placeholder
[1:15:47] um for that. But
[1:15:49] >> the the economic direct development
[1:15:52] » the the economic direct development
[1:15:52] director
[1:15:53] as they would do their job, they'd look
[1:15:56] to type A or B to if a company came
[1:15:59] asking for an incentive or any kind of,
[1:16:02] you know, um in rebate agreement or
[1:16:06] something like that, then they would
[1:16:08] have worked through that. Okay. that
[1:16:10] director the director would have
[1:16:11] approached the council. You want me to
[1:16:14] ask type A and B? You know, yes. So then
[1:16:18] he'd work all that.
[1:16:18] >> But is there a reason that a small city
[1:16:20] » But is there a reason that a small city
[1:16:20] like Hasllett would have a type A and
[1:16:22] type B? Like Ronoke, they used to have a
[1:16:23] type B. From what I can tell, they no
[1:16:25] longer have a type B.
[1:16:27] >> What?
[1:16:27] » What?
[1:16:27] >> I can answer that.
[1:16:29] » I can answer that.
[1:16:29] >> Okay, go for it.
[1:16:29] » Okay, go for it.
[1:16:29] >> That's not question.
[1:16:31] » That's not question.
[1:16:31] >> The uh is the amount of tax revenue that
[1:16:35] » The uh is the amount of tax revenue that
[1:16:35] you collect. you can collect the city in
[1:16:37] itself is limited to 1%
[1:16:41] the city
[1:16:42] >> so we get 1% on every dollar spent on
[1:16:46] » so we get 1% on every dollar spent on
[1:16:46] taxes
[1:16:48] when you have a type A
[1:16:52] and or B
[1:16:55] they can each get up to a maximum of 1%
[1:16:58] each
[1:17:00] >> may or may I'm sorry to interrupt
[1:17:02] » may or may I'm sorry to interrupt
[1:17:02] >> say again
[1:17:03] » say again
[1:17:03] >> I was asking to be recognized but I
[1:17:05] » I was asking to be recognized but I
[1:17:05] Didn't realize I was interrupting you. I
[1:17:06] apologize.
[1:17:06] >> No, you were saying something. What were
[1:17:08] » No, you were saying something. What were
[1:17:08] you saying?
[1:17:09] >> I I was going to ask Well, uh just that
[1:17:11] » I I was going to ask Well, uh just that
[1:17:11] the state did change at one point that
[1:17:14] >> the one the the 1 cent can go to two
[1:17:16] » the one the the 1 cent can go to two
[1:17:16] cents, but it does take a a an
[1:17:18] allocation to reallocate the sale an
[1:17:20] election an election to reallocate.
[1:17:22] >> Yes, they are set up that way now.
[1:17:24] » Yes, they are set up that way now.
[1:17:24] That's when they were adopted.
[1:17:26] >> Uh right now, type B gets 1%.
[1:17:31] » Uh right now, type B gets 1%.
[1:17:31] >> No. And the city No, excuse me.
[1:17:35] » No. And the city No, excuse me.
[1:17:35] city gets one
[1:17:37] between A, B, and the uh street fund,

[1:17:47] >> Mhm.
[1:17:48] » Mhm.
[1:17:48] >> A gets a half percent
[1:17:52] » A gets a half percent
[1:17:52] or B gets a half percent. A gets a
[1:17:55] quarter and the street fund gets a
[1:17:58] >> of the sales tax. So, uh, when it was
[1:18:02] » of the sales tax. So, uh, when it was
[1:18:02] established,
[1:18:04] if you did not establish A and B, you
[1:18:07] would not get all those revenues.
[1:18:10] >> Mr. Mayor,
[1:18:11] » Mr. Mayor,
[1:18:12] >> yes.
[1:18:12] » yes.
[1:18:12] >> May I
[1:18:13] » May I
[1:18:13] >> Yes, sir.
[1:18:13] » Yes, sir.
[1:18:13] >> add something. Um, last week Tanya and I
[1:18:16] » add something. Um, last week Tanya and I
[1:18:16] went to that TML conference and they
[1:18:18] said actually a lot of uh small towns
[1:18:21] have transitioned away from EDC's
[1:18:23] because of the change in the state law
[1:18:25] >> that still allows you to to get that tax
[1:18:29] » that still allows you to to get that tax
[1:18:29] money, but they're moving more towards a
[1:18:32] community uh corporation where it's it's
[1:18:36] not a EDC board any longer, but it's
[1:18:38] they can have the whole 2% in that one
[1:18:41] place and it's more directed by the city
[1:18:43] council.
[1:18:43] >> Mhm. And it does take an election, but
[1:18:46] » Mhm. And it does take an election, but
[1:18:46] EDC's, a lot of EDCs have gone away in
[1:18:48] smaller towns like ours because of the
[1:18:50] change in the state law that happened
[1:18:52] several years ago. And so that might be
[1:18:53] something that we could look at.
[1:18:56] >> I agree.
[1:18:56] » I agree.
[1:18:56] >> Um because they went over that
[1:18:58] » Um because they went over that
[1:18:58] extensively at that conference that we
[1:18:59] went to last week and I think it was
[1:19:01] very beneficial for us to be there.
[1:19:02] >> I also also would love to look at the
[1:19:04] » I also also would love to look at the
[1:19:04] Amazon agreement and see if they have
[1:19:06] met all of the requirements of what was
[1:19:08] set in that. Did they hire the right
[1:19:10] people? or do they do they do the
[1:19:11] correct
[1:19:11] >> do they keep the number of
[1:19:12] » do they keep the number of
[1:19:12] >> keep the number of um revenue or
[1:19:15] » keep the number of um revenue or
[1:19:15] whatever the the restrictions were or
[1:19:18] the expectations were have they have
[1:19:20] they done that
[1:19:21] >> because they brought up a story at TML
[1:19:23] » because they brought up a story at TML
[1:19:23] where there was an incentive agreement
[1:19:25] like that and somebody audited all of
[1:19:27] the things that they were they supposed
[1:19:29] to do this this this and this and they
[1:19:31] missed it by like two employees and they
[1:19:33] were able to void the contract. So, I
[1:19:36] think we need to be looking at that as
[1:19:37] Tanya said as well. Um, because we pay
[1:19:40] them what, half a million dollars a year
[1:19:41] to be here.
[1:19:42] >> Yeah.
[1:19:43] » Yeah.
[1:19:43] >> And I don't know if anyone has looked at
[1:19:45] » And I don't know if anyone has looked at
[1:19:45] to make sure that they are meeting those
[1:19:46] requirements because if it was you're
[1:19:48] going to have to have so many employees
[1:19:49] and now they've automated their entire
[1:19:52] >> their entire warehouse for example,
[1:19:54] » their entire warehouse for example,
[1:19:54] they're not meeting those employee
[1:19:55] requirements anymore. So, possibly.
[1:19:57] >> So, that's a good idea. you can make a
[1:20:00] » So, that's a good idea. you can make a
[1:20:00] note is to perform an audit if we need
[1:20:04] to hire somebody to perform an audit on
[1:20:06] the Amazon agreement.
[1:20:08] >> I would just I would say they provide
[1:20:11] » I would just I would say they provide
[1:20:11] documentation every year when they ask
[1:20:14] for reimbursement on that but they have
[1:20:16] not we have not ever audited it.
[1:20:18] >> Would it that be something that the type
[1:20:19] » Would it that be something that the type
[1:20:19] A would do?
[1:20:22] >> Question. I mean
[1:20:24] » Question. I mean
[1:20:24] >> what
[1:20:25] » what
[1:20:26] >> uh
[1:20:27] » uh
[1:20:27] >> or fund if it needs to be
[1:20:30] » or fund if it needs to be
[1:20:30] >> yes you guys are saying that they make
[1:20:32] » yes you guys are saying that they make
[1:20:32] those agreements would they not fund
[1:20:34] what's needed to audit
[1:20:35] >> I don't know that a made that agreement
[1:20:36] » I don't know that a made that agreement
[1:20:36] with Amazon that was city of pass
[1:20:39] >> that was it
[1:20:39] » that was it
[1:20:39] >> that was city of pass that did that
[1:20:41] » that was city of pass that did that
[1:20:41] >> goes back to why did we have a type A
[1:20:43] » goes back to why did we have a type A
[1:20:43] then because I also know several
[1:20:44] industrial buildings have come before us
[1:20:46] and I don't believe they've gone to type
[1:20:47] B or type A either so I'm just wondering
[1:20:50] what they're doing
[1:20:53] what what a is doing.
[1:20:55] >> Okay.
[1:20:55] » Okay.
[1:20:55] >> They will they they will do what with
[1:20:57] » They will they they will do what with
[1:20:57] what the city of house goes and
[1:21:00] requests.
[1:21:02] >> Mr. Mayor,
[1:21:04] » Mr. Mayor,
[1:21:04] >> yes,
[1:21:04] » yes,
[1:21:04] >> if I'm reading this right, so they have
[1:21:07] » if I'm reading this right, so they have
[1:21:07] like their current budget is 2.7 million
[1:21:10] and I'm looking on page 251 of their
[1:21:13] future projects. There's nothing.
[1:21:16] um
[1:21:18] feel like I mean like they got $2.7
[1:21:21] almost $3 million and they have no
[1:21:23] future projects. They have nothing. So I
[1:21:26] feel like we need to start giving them
[1:21:27] some jobs. I know they only meet every
[1:21:29] quarter, but we need to start either we
[1:21:32] need to we need to fix that.
[1:21:34] >> Clarify they're required to meet every
[1:21:35] » Clarify they're required to meet every
[1:21:35] quarter. They could meet more frequently
[1:21:37] than that. You can always do more. You
[1:21:38] just correct. They just have to meet at
[1:21:41] >> quarterly. There's nothing wrong with
[1:21:42] » quarterly. There's nothing wrong with
[1:21:42] that. Well, we either they meet, you
[1:21:44] know, that we take advantage of them
[1:21:46] meeting every quarter and we give them
[1:21:47] stuff to do that. We ask them to do
[1:21:49] things or but for their future projects,
[1:21:51] they have nothing and they have almost
[1:21:52] $3 million in their budget or their So
[1:21:54] that that's something very
[1:21:56] >> it's not until the last two budgets, I
[1:22:00] » it's not until the last two budgets, I
[1:22:00] believe, this budget and budget
[1:22:03] previous, maybe the one prior to that,
[1:22:05] but did type B start listing money on
[1:22:09] projects. Here's a project project
[1:22:11] project and setting money out there.
[1:22:14] >> Wonderful.
[1:22:14] » Wonderful.
[1:22:14] >> And they were council.
[1:22:17] » And they were council.
[1:22:17] You can do that, but it means nothing.
[1:22:20] You cannot spend that money until you go
[1:22:23] through the formal process of adopting
[1:22:25] the project,
[1:22:27] identifying the project, establishing
[1:22:29] the amount of money that it will be, and
[1:22:34] forwarding that with the resolution to
[1:22:36] the city to approve the project.
[1:22:40] There's a process for each one of those
[1:22:42] projects.
[1:22:43] >> I understand that. I think I think what
[1:22:44] » I understand that. I think I think what
[1:22:44] Jazz was saying a while ago, we need to
[1:22:46] understand what type A does. We know
[1:22:47] what type B does. We know what all they
[1:22:49] can do. We need to find out what they
[1:22:50] can what type A does to where we can be
[1:22:53] able to call them and be like, hey,
[1:22:55] >> can y'all do this and do what?
[1:22:57] » can y'all do this and do what?
[1:22:57] >> Yeah, like you're saying, work on this.
[1:22:59] » Yeah, like you're saying, work on this.
[1:22:59] >> Work on this and hey, can y'all do this
[1:23:00] » Work on this and hey, can y'all do this
[1:23:00] for us? Um, hey, can y'all make a
[1:23:02] project? Can y'all look into this?
[1:23:03] Because I don't really know what type A
[1:23:06] does. You said there a lot of industrial
[1:23:07] or whatever. Um, but I think if we can
[1:23:10] maybe get a list of what type A does,
[1:23:12] then I wouldn't be opposed to emailing
[1:23:13] them or calling them like, "Hey, can you
[1:23:16] add this?" Because they've got money.
[1:23:18] They could be helping out the city and
[1:23:19] it's just sitting here doing nothing.
[1:23:21] >> Uh, then I would encourage you to read
[1:23:25] » Uh, then I would encourage you to read

[1:24:02] direction on
[1:24:05] what you were speaking of whether it
[1:24:06] would benefit us or not. They'll have
[1:24:08] that experience if we hire the right

[1:25:19] tax, but we've not identified

[1:26:28] » right? Which does not include a
[1:26:28] fireworks show, for example, because
[1:26:30] that was a discussion at TML as well.
[1:26:31] You can't use it for fireworks, right?

[1:26:45] » if it will entice people to stay in a
[1:26:45] hotel. That's the whole point. You're
[1:26:48] trying to get people to stay overnight
[1:26:50] in your hotels because not only you
[1:26:53] going to get some hotel tax money,
[1:26:55] they're going to spend money in the
[1:26:57] restaurants and things of that nature.
[1:27:00] So, it is you can do expend that fun
[1:27:04] money to entice people to stay in a
[1:27:08] hotel.
[1:27:08] >> You know what would get people to stay
[1:27:09] » You know what would get people to stay
[1:27:09] in hotels? Baseball tournaments. I'm

[1:27:18] On page 257 is the Municipal Court
[1:27:21] Security Fund.
[1:27:24] On 261 is the Municipal Court Technology
[1:27:27] Fund.
[1:27:30] And these two funds, their names pretty
[1:27:32] much say what they're for. Um, these are
[1:27:36] fees that are assessed on uh a m
[1:27:39] municipal court fine. a portion of those
[1:27:42] fees go towards uh funding these two
[1:27:45] funds. Now, last uh legislature, they
[1:27:49] decided to do away with these funds
[1:27:53] because they are um they don't generate
[1:27:56] a lot of revenue and so a lot of small
[1:27:58] towns like us um have a hard time
[1:28:01] expending them for what their purpose is
[1:28:03] to provide security for the municipal
[1:28:05] core or technology for the municipal
[1:28:07] court. So last year what they decided to
[1:28:10] do was make a combined municipal court
[1:28:13] security technology fund which you'll
[1:28:15] see on page 269.
[1:28:18] So we are discontinuing
[1:28:22] funds um going into uh fund 13 and 14.
[1:28:27] No revenues are coming in but we're
[1:28:29] expending until those funds are
[1:28:31] exhausted. The new the revenue we're
[1:28:34] collecting is actually going into fund
[1:28:36] 16.
[1:28:38] But we haven't really expended anything
[1:28:39] from there because we haven't exhausted
[1:28:41] the other two funds. But these funds
[1:28:44] are, you know, like I said, something
[1:28:46] that um is added on to the court fines
[1:28:49] um to be spent on security and
[1:28:51] technology.
[1:28:52] >> Just to clarify, once 13 and 14 are
[1:28:55] » Just to clarify, once 13 and 14 are
[1:28:55] completely exhausted, they'll go away.
[1:28:56] >> Yes.
[1:28:57] » Yes.
[1:28:57] >> Thank you.
[1:29:01] On page 265 is uh fund 15 which is city
[1:29:05] parks improvement fund.
[1:29:08] This is where the uh development fees
[1:29:11] are um received. There's interest
[1:29:14] income. Those are the revenue sources
[1:29:18] um for this fund.
[1:29:20] Excuse [clears throat] me.
[1:29:23] And then um you'll see that there in the
[1:29:25] current year there's several projects
[1:29:27] that were ongoing expecting those to be
[1:29:31] uh completed
[1:29:33] uh if not completed carried forward. But
[1:29:36] then for um next year there's 210,000
[1:29:41] um added for uh electric service line
[1:29:44] and receptacles at community park.
[1:29:51] Any question?
[1:29:52] >> I was just saying trash cans are really
[1:29:53] » I was just saying trash cans are really
[1:29:53] expensive.
[1:29:55] >> Yeah.
[1:29:57] » Yeah.
[1:29:57] >> So, is this Marcy
[1:30:00] » So, is this Marcy
[1:30:00] >> um
[1:30:02] » um
[1:30:02] under this 2526 we're at 763,000
[1:30:06] and when it's lined out 250 of that is
[1:30:09] community park playground.
[1:30:10] >> Mhm.

[1:30:14] talking about for the
[1:30:17] replacement of the playground equipment

[1:30:20] something else.
[1:30:21] >> Okay.
[1:30:21] » Okay.
[1:30:21] >> I'm not sure. But it was something that
[1:30:23] » I'm not sure. But it was something that
[1:30:23] was in the current year and I can't
[1:30:24] remember what it was.
[1:30:26] >> Okay.
[1:30:27] » Okay.
[1:30:27] >> Oh, no. I'm not sure what that is.
[1:30:28] » Oh, no. I'm not sure what that is.
[1:30:28] >> Yeah.
[1:30:29] » Yeah.
[1:30:29] >> Wait. So then we've got over a million
[1:30:30] » Wait. So then we've got over a million
[1:30:30] for community park.
[1:30:31] >> I'm sorry.
[1:30:32] » I'm sorry.
[1:30:32] >> So then we have over a million for
[1:30:34] » So then we have over a million for
[1:30:34] community park.
[1:30:35] >> Looks like it.
[1:30:37] » Looks like it.
[1:30:37] >> If that's carried forward.
[1:30:38] » If that's carried forward.
[1:30:38] >> Yeah. It's near March, but it might not
[1:30:39] » Yeah. It's near March, but it might not
[1:30:39] get spent. [clears throat]
[1:30:41] >> So should we maybe take the other 300
[1:30:43] » So should we maybe take the other 300
[1:30:43] out and leave this 250?
[1:30:46] >> I think every dollar we can put towards
[1:30:47] » I think every dollar we can put towards
[1:30:47] the parks would be a good thing. I think
[1:30:49] we have to be reasonable for the size of
[1:30:50] city we are.
[1:30:51] >> I understand but it hasn't been
[1:30:54] » I understand but it hasn't been
[1:30:54] >> really all we have going for us or the
[1:30:56] » really all we have going for us or the
[1:30:56] parks right now.

[1:31:02] >> Yeah.
[1:31:03] » Yeah.
[1:31:03] >> The way I look at it is we're we're a
[1:31:05] » The way I look at it is we're we're a
[1:31:05] small town, but just because we're a
[1:31:07] small town doesn't mean we can't have
[1:31:08] nice things.
[1:31:09] >> We could change community park instead
[1:31:11] » We could change community park instead
[1:31:11] of playground. It could just be
[1:31:12] community park park and we we take out
[1:31:14] the word playground so it can be more um
[1:31:17] universally used for like I said um like
[1:31:21] restrooms or um electricity or it means
[1:31:25] something else.
[1:31:28] >> Keep it.

[1:32:31] under the bridge that you kind of
[1:32:32] reworked all that last year? That was

[1:32:39] >> where the tap trail goes across. And
[1:32:40] » where the tap trail goes across. And
[1:32:40] then we also did underneath the 156
[1:32:43] bridge, but those were all those
[1:32:44] drainage improvements.
[1:32:45] >> Okay, that's what that is. Okay,

[1:32:56] >> I was completed. I'll just ask I'll just
[1:32:58] » I was completed. I'll just ask I'll just
[1:32:58] clarify what that project was. I do have
[1:32:59] a question about the UG electrical
[1:33:01] service line and receptacles because we
[1:33:02] have several line items for trash cans
[1:33:04] for the parks this year. So, just trying
[1:33:06] to figure out what's going on with that.
[1:33:09] >> Okay. We in our on andm budget because
[1:33:12] » Okay. We in our on andm budget because
[1:33:12] it wasn't enough to be a capital, we
[1:33:13] asked to replace the existing trash cans
[1:33:15] that were in community park and Gamble.
[1:33:17] They've been there for the better half
[1:33:19] of 20 years and they're
[1:33:22] >> Wasn't enough at the 4th of July. I
[1:33:23] » Wasn't enough at the 4th of July. I
[1:33:23] think trash was all over the ground. We
[1:33:24] just asked uh pretty much replace all
[1:33:26] those with something that's going to
[1:33:28] hold up hopefully for another 20 years.
[1:33:30] Uh then we had a list of park projects
[1:33:34] that the park board had identified and
[1:33:37] we've done like a lot of those were the
[1:33:38] uh drainage improvements. But this uh
[1:33:42] the electric service line and
[1:33:43] receptacles they desire to have around
[1:33:46] the uh that kind of inner circle there
[1:33:49] around the uh basketball court. They
[1:33:51] want uh power for vendors and things
[1:33:54] during uh events. And then also uh they
[1:33:58] also I mean I don't think it lays it out
[1:33:59] here, but they wanted the same thing
[1:34:01] around the entire trail with improved
[1:34:04] path lighting. Those were projects that
[1:34:05] are just they were identified years ago
[1:34:08] and they're slowly being funded. So
[1:34:10] >> Okay. Got it.
[1:34:11] » Okay. Got it.
[1:34:11] >> So James, I have a little bit of a
[1:34:14] » So James, I have a little bit of a
[1:34:14] little bit of knowledge here. When you
[1:34:17] say
[1:34:19] providing power for vendors, does that
[1:34:21] include the food trucks so they don't
[1:34:23] have to bring generators and the blowup
[1:34:24] so they don't have to bring generators?
[1:34:26] >> Yeah, the 20 amp.
[1:34:27] » Yeah, the 20 amp.
[1:34:27] >> That'd be the idea. Yeah, it would be
[1:34:29] » That'd be the idea. Yeah, it would be
[1:34:29] it'd be an upgrade of the service and
[1:34:31] then the intent is to provide power so
[1:34:33] we don't we can cut down on some of the
[1:34:35] noise and also
[1:34:36] >> that would be amazing.
[1:34:37] » that would be amazing.
[1:34:37] >> Have better vendors that could, you
[1:34:38] » Have better vendors that could, you
[1:34:38] know, do more with that
[1:34:40] >> because I know all the food trucks have
[1:34:41] » because I know all the food trucks have
[1:34:41] to have those big plugs or they have to
[1:34:43] use generators. they can't just roll up
[1:34:45] and do their thing. Um, so you're
[1:34:48] putting you're starting to put some
[1:34:50] plugs in in some places that they can we
[1:34:52] can get rid of some of those generator.
[1:34:53] >> Yeah, that's what this this project was
[1:34:55] » Yeah, that's what this this project was
[1:34:55] on that inner loop was to provide that
[1:34:57] so when we have an event that they'd
[1:34:59] have access to power and negate the need
[1:35:01] for that,
[1:35:02] >> right? Thank you, sir.
[1:35:03] » right? Thank you, sir.
[1:35:03] >> When when we're looking at that side
[1:35:04] » When when we're looking at that side
[1:35:04] note, can we just look at possibly
[1:35:07] something for speakers for the 4th of
[1:35:08] July because great show couldn't hear a
[1:35:11] thing where everyone was sitting. I
[1:35:12] don't know about anybody else that was
[1:35:13] there, but you couldn't hear the music
[1:35:15] going on with the show. So, even if it's
[1:35:17] just plugs towards that front of the
[1:35:19] park where we can plug in some speakers
[1:35:21] so we can actually hear the music
[1:35:23] >> be good.
[1:35:25] » be good.
[1:35:25] >> Were you there?
[1:35:26] » Were you there?

[1:36:03] » did the um I'm sorry the um revenue that
[1:36:03] comes in um once again on the utility
[1:36:07] bill when uh someone contributes to the
[1:36:11] park fund. The general fund matches that
[1:36:15] same donation um for the library.
[1:36:20] So they have 15,000 of their own money
[1:36:22] coming in and we're putting in 15,000.
[1:36:23] Is that right?
[1:36:25] >> No, that's [clears throat] their only
[1:36:26] » No, that's [clears throat] their only
[1:36:26] that's the only funds they have in
[1:36:28] coming in besides interest income.
[1:36:31] >> So where is our
[1:36:32] » So where is our
[1:36:32] >> the parks board gets 15,000 and that
[1:36:35] » the parks board gets 15,000 and that
[1:36:35] triggers what the general fund gives
[1:36:37] parks board and library?
[1:36:38] >> Library.
[1:36:39] » Library.
[1:36:40] >> Okay.
[1:36:41] » Okay.
[1:36:41] >> But they haven't asked for any increase
[1:36:43] » But they haven't asked for any increase
[1:36:43] in any of this. The library board. Okay.
[1:36:51] Uh then on page 277
[1:36:54] is the transportation sales tax fund.
[1:36:58] And I'm not sure um if y'all want to
[1:37:02] discuss that now or if you want to take
[1:37:03] that up in capital. These are repair
[1:37:05] projects um for streets. Uh that's the
[1:37:09] purpose of the transportation sales tax.
[1:37:12] It cannot be used to create a new road
[1:37:15] um or rebuild a road. It's just for
[1:37:18] maintenance of existing roads
[1:37:23] >> and [clears throat] it's a funding
[1:37:24] » and [clears throat] it's a funding
[1:37:24] source.
[1:37:25] >> Yes. And so the um the revenue for this
[1:37:29] » Yes. And so the um the revenue for this
[1:37:29] is the uh quarter cent sales tax and
[1:37:32] interest income.
[1:37:34] And then uh the project slated for next
[1:37:38] year is a Hlet Park inter interim repair
[1:37:44] um on the HMA. I'm not sure what that
[1:37:47] stands for.
[1:37:48] Um,
[1:37:50] phase one striping plan
[1:37:53] and Bane Road reconstruction.
[1:37:56] Um, we were carrying that forward, but I
[1:37:59] think maybe it maybe needs to be put
[1:38:00] back in the current year if we're doing
[1:38:03] the ILA. Will we be doing that before
[1:38:05] October one?
[1:38:06] >> Which one?
[1:38:12] » Yeah, it's on there.
[1:38:15] >> Mhm. Yes.
[1:38:17] » Mhm. Yes.
[1:38:17] be done before.
[1:38:19] >> Okay. So, that'll be in the current
[1:38:21] » Okay. So, that'll be in the current
[1:38:21] year. Um,
[1:38:23] >> wait. So, it won't carry over is what
[1:38:24] » wait. So, it won't carry over is what
[1:38:24] you're saying because it'll be done.
[1:38:26] >> Yeah. We didn't think it was going to be
[1:38:28] » Yeah. We didn't think it was going to be
[1:38:28] done, but you all approved that ILA
[1:38:30] Monday night. Okay.
[1:38:31] >> So, um, and then, uh, Water Crest,
[1:38:36] » So, um, and then, uh, Water Crest,
[1:38:36] Verona, North Glenn, Wimberly. There's
[1:38:38] some repairs uh in water crest that um
[1:38:42] 750,000 is allocated for.
[1:38:45] >> Why did I I have written down one block
[1:38:47] » Why did I I have written down one block
[1:38:47] 500,000. I mean I see the 750. I just
[1:38:50] wonder what my notes were that I wrote
[1:38:51] down one block 500,000 next to Water
[1:38:54] Crest Verona. You'll explain that or why
[1:38:57] did I write that?
[1:38:58] >> Yes, ma'am. There was a Verona itself
[1:39:00] » Yes, ma'am. There was a Verona itself
[1:39:00] that 340 ft was about a half a million
[1:39:03] dollars.
[1:39:04] >> So that's what you
[1:39:05] » So that's what you
[1:39:05] >> in addition to the 750. Um, I believe we
[1:39:08] » in addition to the 750. Um, I believe we
[1:39:08] combined some other known um pavement
[1:39:12] repairs uh on top of that 500.
[1:39:15] >> Okay.
[1:39:15] » Okay.
[1:39:15] >> Does that make sense?
[1:39:16] » Does that make sense?
[1:39:16] >> Yes.
[1:39:17] » Yes.
[1:39:17] >> Mayor.
[1:39:18] » Mayor.
[1:39:18] >> Yes, ma'am.
[1:39:19] » Yes, ma'am.
[1:39:19] >> Can I ask um kind of why Careway keeps
[1:39:21] » Can I ask um kind of why Careway keeps
[1:39:21] getting put off? This has been a problem
[1:39:22] since the community was built. The front
[1:39:24] drainage and the side drainage like
[1:39:26] every year it just never happens. And
[1:39:29] again, it got axed for this year, it
[1:39:31] looks like, because I know we did some
[1:39:34] simple um band-aid solutions that did
[1:39:37] not work. So, do we
[1:39:40] >> It's cuz we're working.
[1:39:41] » It's cuz we're working.
[1:39:41] >> Say that again.
[1:39:43] » Say that again.
[1:39:43] >> That place, I didn't hear the question.
[1:39:45] » That place, I didn't hear the question.
[1:39:45] >> Careway, the drainage issue on the two
[1:39:47] » Careway, the drainage issue on the two
[1:39:47] entrances for Careway where there's a
[1:39:49] constant small pool of water. It keeps
[1:39:51] getting put off. I know this past year
[1:39:53] we've tried some band-aids. They
[1:39:54] >> Yeah, there were two there's two sites.
[1:39:56] » Yeah, there were two there's two sites.
[1:39:56] One is at the main entry,
[1:39:58] >> correct?
[1:39:58] » correct?
[1:39:58] >> And then the other is on is it
[1:40:01] » And then the other is on is it
[1:40:01] >> Syena
[1:40:03] » Syena
[1:40:03] >> Sienna?
[1:40:03] » Sienna?
[1:40:04] >> It's Yeah, it it's at the north entrance
[1:40:06] » It's Yeah, it it's at the north entrance
[1:40:06] of
[1:40:07] >> Right. That's on the north end.
[1:40:08] » Right. That's on the north end.
[1:40:08] >> Correct.
[1:40:09] » Correct.
[1:40:09] >> And there I know that nothing has been
[1:40:12] » And there I know that nothing has been
[1:40:12] done with regard to the main entry.
[1:40:15] >> That's always existed.
[1:40:16] » That's always existed.
[1:40:16] >> So,
[1:40:17] » So,
[1:40:17] >> and the Siana, they tried to u shave
[1:40:22] » and the Siana, they tried to u shave
[1:40:22] down the concrete.
[1:40:23] >> It didn't work.
[1:40:24] » It didn't work.
[1:40:24] >> It didn't work. Yeah. and so but yes
[1:40:28] » It didn't work. Yeah. and so but yes
[1:40:28] u Mr. Tucker has a plan of action for
[1:40:33] the entry at least that one. Tell us
[1:40:35] what that is.
[1:40:36] >> So to be clear, we did do foam
[1:40:38] » So to be clear, we did do foam
[1:40:38] injections on the entryway there. There
[1:40:41] is no way to without rebuilding that to
[1:40:44] to solve that issue. We did get minor
[1:40:47] improvement on that. I guess as you exit
[1:40:50] there in the front entrance as you exit,
[1:40:52] it's not perfect by any means, but it is
[1:40:55] not holding 4 in of water there. And and
[1:40:58] one of the reasons is these are
[1:41:01] cosmetic. I mean, they're they
[1:41:02] definitely need to be fixed. They they
[1:41:04] don't look good. They do need to be
[1:41:05] fixed, but uh the ones in Water Crest,
[1:41:07] they're drivability issues. So, as one
[1:41:09] of the reasons why the priority has been
[1:41:11] lower than what's in Water Crest and
[1:41:12] North Glenn, because those are actual
[1:41:14] pavement failures. The other ones are
[1:41:17] holding water, but the road is stable
[1:41:19] and it hasn't caused any major issue
[1:41:22] besides you're driving through water
[1:41:24] there. So, do we do we not have the
[1:41:26] ability to work on both things at the
[1:41:29] same time? Because the it looks like the
[1:41:31] budget is definitely there. And I I
[1:41:33] think I see that um Mr. Anderson has it
[1:41:37] marked as
[1:41:41] Where did it go?
[1:41:43] >> And on the interest
[1:41:44] » And on the interest
[1:41:44] >> 200,000, we could at least get the
[1:41:45] » 200,000, we could at least get the
[1:41:46] design going, I would think, to fix
[1:41:47] these roads because Careway in general
[1:41:49] has a ton of drainage issues.
[1:41:51] >> Yes.
[1:41:52] » Yes.
[1:41:52] >> Yeah. I think one of the one of the
[1:41:54] » Yeah. I think one of the one of the
[1:41:54] things that we were trying to do on the
[1:41:55] water crest uh the 750,000
[1:41:59] I believe we we had taken the 500 we had
[1:42:02] done a detailed cost estimate and
[1:42:04] concept plan for Verona Drive there were
[1:42:07] some u known deficiencies on Wimberly
[1:42:09] but those those have been or are under
[1:42:12] construction right now
[1:42:13] >> correct we're taking those out of
[1:42:14] » correct we're taking those out of
[1:42:14] >> the so so what I would recommend is
[1:42:17] » the so so what I would recommend is
[1:42:17] you're right there's 200,000 that we put
[1:42:19] in a as a wedge an estimate for the
[1:42:22] entry
[1:42:22] Um, we could look at doing trying to
[1:42:26] come up with a concept. We need to get
[1:42:28] surveying done because it's going to
[1:42:29] involve drainage or installation of a
[1:42:32] drainage um basin or an inlet as part of
[1:42:36] this next year. And if there's if we
[1:42:38] determine that it's a $150,000 fix, well
[1:42:41] then presuming Verona costs $500,000,
[1:42:44] there would be money to take care of it
[1:42:45] with that item. Well, even if we just
[1:42:47] take the Bane Road since that's going to
[1:42:48] be done and move that 200,000 to Careway
[1:42:50] so we can at least be looking at this
[1:42:53] problem instead of pushing it even
[1:42:54] further down the road because like you
[1:42:55] said, this requires investigation.
[1:42:58] Band-aids have been tried to be applied
[1:42:59] and it's not solving the issue. And I
[1:43:01] just want to make sure we're looking at
[1:43:03] both the north um entrance and the main
[1:43:07] entrance because they're they're both
[1:43:10] equally pretty bad. I actually sent a
[1:43:12] picture to Tanya. It's a constant pond.
[1:43:17] Yeah, the entry is the worst of the two.
[1:43:19] Michael,
[1:43:20] >> since you did the phone, it depends. It
[1:43:23] » since you did the phone, it depends. It
[1:43:23] honestly depends. Um, lately, I don't
[1:43:26] know if it's what you did maybe helped
[1:43:28] slightly. The entrance, in my opinion,
[1:43:30] has been slightly better, but
[1:43:32] >> yeah, just the exit coming out of there.
[1:43:33] » yeah, just the exit coming out of there.
[1:43:34] We did notice that. I mean, I feel like
[1:43:36] we got about 75% out of that and that
[1:43:39] was an improvement. We get attempted on
[1:43:40] the other one. There's very little they
[1:43:42] can do because it does either need to be
[1:43:44] reconstructed or really like you said a
[1:43:46] collector and drained it off. There's
[1:43:48] just it's so flat through there. There's
[1:43:50] no way without changing harm in there to
[1:43:53] get it to drain differently. So
[1:43:55] collecting it and having it in a storm
[1:43:57] drain is the answer in the very back.
[1:44:00] That one is seasonal. So there is parts
[1:44:02] of the year where there's so much
[1:44:03] pavement moving. There's parts of the
[1:44:04] year that it will drain. And there's
[1:44:06] also parts where we had tons of rain,
[1:44:08] tons of water, it swells and then it
[1:44:10] holds up and it's so it's hard to judge
[1:44:12] how bad that is. But the pavement is
[1:44:15] holding up. But as far as for driving
[1:44:17] through the water, it is absolutely I
[1:44:19] mean not what you want.
[1:44:20] >> As someone who walks that almost I mean
[1:44:22] » As someone who walks that almost I mean
[1:44:22] every few days, not right now because
[1:44:24] it's August, but I I've never seen a
[1:44:26] time where it's completely dried up in
[1:44:29] front of that house. I don't think even
[1:44:32] in the winter. I I've never seen it
[1:44:33] completely.
[1:44:34] >> No, it absolutely needs to be fixed. So,
[1:44:35] » No, it absolutely needs to be fixed. So,
[1:44:36] I'd love to see that done. And if that's
[1:44:38] a solution, uh, Mike, on the cost, do we
[1:44:41] ever do a cost estimate for the the one
[1:44:43] in the very back of the neighborhood?
[1:44:45] >> I think we have I think we put another
[1:44:48] » I think we have I think we put another
[1:44:48] 200,000 in there for that
[1:44:49] >> two or 250.
[1:44:50] » two or 250.
[1:44:50] >> Okay.
[1:44:51] » Okay.
[1:44:51] >> Total or for like 200,000 for one,
[1:44:53] » Total or for like 200,000 for one,
[1:44:53] 200,000 for
[1:44:54] >> for each for each.
[1:44:55] » for each for each.
[1:44:56] >> Okay. So, then question for you. With
[1:44:58] » Okay. So, then question for you. With
[1:44:58] everything else you have going on, do
[1:45:00] you think 200,000 this year is enough to
[1:45:02] get you going with other priorities or
[1:45:04] do you think you really need that full
[1:45:06] amount for both to get moving?
[1:45:08] >> I think if we're just trying to look at
[1:45:10] » I think if we're just trying to look at
[1:45:10] the design for for both of those, we
[1:45:13] could probably do that for $50,000 or
[1:45:16] less, the survey and the design.
[1:45:17] >> You also need to investigate a little
[1:45:19] » You also need to investigate a little
[1:45:19] bit, right?
[1:45:19] >> Yes, ma'am. But I we we've we've got
[1:45:22] » Yes, ma'am. But I we we've we've got
[1:45:22] enough information available from the
[1:45:24] plans and uh the geotech. So, I think if
[1:45:28] you if you wanted to get something
[1:45:29] going, just put 50,000 in there.
[1:45:32] >> I'm going to ask that the 200,000 from
[1:45:34] » I'm going to ask that the 200,000 from
[1:45:34] Bane be moved to the Careway R.
[1:45:38] >> Do we need to change the title or is
[1:45:40] » Do we need to change the title or is
[1:45:40] that current Careway RC panel
[1:45:42] replacement design repair entrance? Is
[1:45:44] that good enough for both entrances?
[1:45:45] >> Excuse me. You're moving. You want to
[1:45:47] » Excuse me. You're moving. You want to
[1:45:47] move You want to not do Bane Road.
[1:45:50] >> They're saying that it's going to be
[1:45:51] » They're saying that it's going to be
[1:45:51] done this year,
[1:45:54] >> so we won't need that. it was going to
[1:45:55] » so we won't need that. it was going to
[1:45:55] come off anyways.
[1:45:56] >> Are we certain of that?
[1:45:59] » Are we certain of that?
[1:45:59] >> You're absolutely certain of that?
[1:46:01] » You're absolutely certain of that?
[1:46:02] >> I I don't believe that I said Bane Road
[1:46:03] » I I don't believe that I said Bane Road
[1:46:03] would be done this year.
[1:46:05] >> So, no. I would recommend you not do
[1:46:08] » So, no. I would recommend you not do
[1:46:08] that.
[1:46:09] >> Bane Bane Road. Let just just so
[1:46:11] » Bane Bane Road. Let just just so
[1:46:11] everybody knows that the plan with the
[1:46:13] county based on the interlocal that you
[1:46:15] all executed on Monday. Um they're going
[1:46:18] to try to get to Bane Road first. The
[1:46:20] countyy's targeting the end of August,
[1:46:23] but it'll probably be September. And
[1:46:25] then I don't know how how and when they
[1:46:27] bill you.
[1:46:28] >> I don't know exactly how long it's going
[1:46:30] » I don't know exactly how long it's going
[1:46:30] to take them. So So Bane and Maxwell are
[1:46:33] probably will start this year, but the
[1:46:35] funds will probably need to carry over
[1:46:36] into next year. Well, I would leave it
[1:46:39] >> Bane is in the current year and I just
[1:46:42] » Bane is in the current year and I just
[1:46:42] showed it on here because at the time I
[1:46:44] did this, we didn't expect it would
[1:46:47] start before the end of the year, but I
[1:46:50] can move it back. I mean, it's not it's
[1:46:53] currently it's 26.
[1:46:56] >> So, if we start our original budget?
[1:46:58] » So, if we start our original budget?
[1:46:58] >> Yes, it was in our original budget.
[1:47:00] » Yes, it was in our original budget.
[1:47:00] >> Okay. So,
[1:47:01] » Okay. So,
[1:47:01] >> then move it back to 2526. Correct. And
[1:47:04] » then move it back to 2526. Correct. And
[1:47:04] what is not if it's not expended,
[1:47:06] >> it'll carry forward. Yes.
[1:47:07] » it'll carry forward. Yes.
[1:47:08] >> And then I think on the Careway RC panel
[1:47:09] » And then I think on the Careway RC panel
[1:47:10] we put in this year's budget. Right now
[1:47:12] it's 60,000.
[1:47:13] >> No. Well, in this
[1:47:15] » No. Well, in this
[1:47:15] >> so I say we put 60,000 in the 2020. So
[1:47:18] » so I say we put 60,000 in the 2020. So
[1:47:18] we at least put the 60 we carry that
[1:47:20] over.
[1:47:21] >> I would like to put a little bit more
[1:47:23] » I would like to put a little bit more
[1:47:23] just in case it just in case it is a
[1:47:24] simple fix and they get in there and
[1:47:27] they're like, "Hey, we we can like you
[1:47:29] said $100,000 can correct this. We have
[1:47:31] it available." And if not, it carries
[1:47:33] and it's
[1:47:34] >> So you want to double it to 120 or you
[1:47:36] » So you want to double it to 120 or you
[1:47:36] want to do um
[1:47:37] >> Sure.
[1:47:38] » Sure.
[1:47:38] >> You also have contingencies. So
[1:47:39] » You also have contingencies. So
[1:47:39] >> Sure. If we if we do 120, I feel like
[1:47:40] » Sure. If we if we do 120, I feel like
[1:47:40] that's enough to get them moving.
[1:47:42] >> So 120,000 is what we're both proposing
[1:47:45] » So 120,000 is what we're both proposing
[1:47:45] into the Careway RC panel replacement.
[1:47:49] >> Um request.
[1:47:50] » Um request.
[1:47:50] >> That's both locations.
[1:47:52] » That's both locations.
[1:47:52] >> 20.
[1:47:52] » 20.
[1:47:52] >> Yes, both locations. If we need to
[1:47:54] » Yes, both locations. If we need to
[1:47:54] change the verbiage.
[1:47:56] >> So is that an additional 60 or an
[1:47:58] » So is that an additional 60 or an
[1:47:58] additional 120?
[1:47:59] >> Public works.
[1:48:00] » Public works.
[1:48:00] >> 120 total. 122.
[1:48:02] » 120 total. 122.
[1:48:02] >> And can we just add an s to repair
[1:48:04] » And can we just add an s to repair
[1:48:04] entrances
[1:48:06] so we're clear? It's both the entrances.
[1:48:08] >> Repair entrance. What?
[1:48:09] » Repair entrance. What?
[1:48:10] >> We're just going to change put an s on
[1:48:11] » We're just going to change put an s on
[1:48:11] the end of the sentence. So it infers
[1:48:14] both entrances instead of entrance.
[1:48:16] >> Okay.
[1:48:17] » Okay.
[1:48:17] >> Is I know this has been on public works
[1:48:19] » Is I know this has been on public works
[1:48:19] and engineering's radar and list for
[1:48:22] three years at least. So I think what
[1:48:24] you're hearing from the council, come up
[1:48:26] with a solution and do it.
[1:48:28] >> Just do it.
[1:48:29] » Just do it.
[1:48:29] >> Yes. put on your Nikes and just do it.
[1:48:32] » Yes. put on your Nikes and just do it.
[1:48:32] >> Understood.
[1:48:34] » Understood.
[1:48:34] >> I was going to make a joke a while ago,
[1:48:37] » I was going to make a joke a while ago,
[1:48:37] but that our projects start from west to
[1:48:39] east. And so that's why Careway is not
[1:48:41] there yet. It's like we're on your 10ear
[1:48:42] plan, but
[1:48:44] >> carowway will love that. [laughter]
[1:48:46] » carowway will love that. [laughter]
[1:48:46] >> That was a joke. That was that was
[1:48:55] » Are we done with the special funds?
[1:48:56] >> Yes.
[1:48:57] » Yes.
[1:48:57] >> Yes, we are.
[1:48:59] » Yes, we are.
[1:49:00] All right, I propose at uh let's take a
[1:49:03] five minute break. Uh recess the open
[1:49:06] session at 10:38. We return back in five
[1:49:09] minutes. That would be good.
[1:49:24] No,
[2:03:02] Thank you. I call the uh
[2:03:06] this council meeting back into session
[2:03:09] at uh 10:52 a.m.
[2:03:13] All right. Uh thank you for the uh
[2:03:15] presentations, Marcy. Okay. We're going
[2:03:17] to pick up uh at the end of where we
[2:03:20] left off at the previous workshop and
[2:03:23] that is uh the
[2:03:27] excuse me
[2:03:29] get this turn here
[2:03:31] is the uh capital projects and uh Mr.
[2:03:37] Anderson will weave in and out during
[2:03:40] this, but we'll have water, sewer,
[2:03:44] streets, facilities, and capital
[2:03:47] equipment. That's all under capital
[2:03:49] request.
[2:03:52] Starting with the water, sewer system
[2:03:54] capital improvements.
[2:03:57] There have been uh several
[2:04:00] uh sheets developed on this. I think the
[2:04:04] one you've got in front of you right now
[2:04:08] uh is called the necessity
[2:04:12] list. Is that correct, Mr. Anderson?
[2:04:15] >> Yes, mayor. That's correct.
[2:04:16] » Yes, mayor. That's correct.
[2:04:16] >> And that's uh for four-year look at
[2:04:18] » And that's uh for four-year look at
[2:04:18] >> that's correct.
[2:04:19] » that's correct.
[2:04:19] >> Okay. Now, I will tell you is uh um
[2:04:24] » Okay. Now, I will tell you is uh um
[2:04:24] Belchiff and Associates submitted a a
[2:04:28] 10-year outlook
[2:04:31] on water, sewer, and roads. And that
[2:04:35] 10-year outlook was a now that included
[2:04:39] everybody's I'll call it wish list.
[2:04:43] And
[2:04:46] that was
[2:04:48] at that time something may have changed
[2:04:50] but it was $18
[2:04:52] million
[2:04:54] over the next 10 years. So that is an
[2:04:58] average of $10.8 million a year starting
[2:05:02] this year. That is just not feasible.
[2:05:05] And uh so I I asked uh uh Belfist
[2:05:11] Associates to produce a necessity plan.
[2:05:17] Now I was able to and what we're looking
[2:05:19] for is necessity plan over the next 10
[2:05:22] years. What we do have to present to you
[2:05:26] is four years
[2:05:28] and that is uh inclusive of the 26 27
[2:05:33] budget year.
[2:05:35] So, um, Mr. Anderson, if you want to
[2:05:38] take it from there and reference, I
[2:05:40] assume you're going to reference your
[2:05:42] printout that you have before us.
[2:05:46] Yes, Mayor. Thank you. Um, everybody
[2:05:48] have their 11 by7. We want to start, if
[2:05:52] you don't mind, with the smaller portion
[2:05:55] of projects, uh, water and sewer.
[2:05:59] >> Yes, sir. Five.
[2:06:02] » Yes, sir. Five.
[2:06:02] >> Uh, this would be um
[2:06:06] » Uh, this would be um
[2:06:06] >> three of nine. I'm sorry. Three of nine.
[2:06:08] » three of nine. I'm sorry. Three of nine.
[2:06:08] It's turned the wrong way for me.
[2:06:10] >> Here we go.
[2:06:16] » So, so as the mayor mentioned, we we do
[2:06:18] have a 10-year uh capital improvement
[2:06:20] plan that we assembled for water and
[2:06:23] sewer projects. Um those documents have
[2:06:26] put been put together in accordance with
[2:06:28] state law um to basically go through and
[2:06:31] allow us to update and amend your uh
[2:06:35] impact fee program. Uh in addition um
[2:06:39] these projects also uh help us identify
[2:06:43] improvements to the system that need to
[2:06:45] be done oversizing to certain uh
[2:06:48] facilities uh as it relates to
[2:06:51] development. So, one thing I think that
[2:06:53] might help everybody if you could also
[2:06:55] um let's pull out your water system
[2:06:59] 10-year capital improvement plan exhibit
[2:07:01] if you don't mind. That would just be
[2:07:02] this portrait exhibit labeled water down
[2:07:06] in the bottom right.
[2:07:12] And you'll note on here that there's um
[2:07:16] several projects highlighted uh
[2:07:18] approximately 10 of them in yellow on
[2:07:21] the sheet. And those have uh been
[2:07:23] developed through the modeling effort
[2:07:26] and the uh hydraulic calculations that
[2:07:29] have been performed uh during the master
[2:07:31] planning process based on uh current
[2:07:34] land use designations um as adopted by
[2:07:38] the city. Uh so you'll note that we did
[2:07:41] have some money in this budget to
[2:07:44] potentially go through and update this
[2:07:46] plan. We've we've heard discussions uh
[2:07:49] this past year about the possibility of
[2:07:51] a thoroughare plan change. There's been
[2:07:53] discussions about land use discussions
[2:07:56] and changes. And so typically what we do
[2:07:59] as the engineer with the city is we take
[2:08:03] uh assumptions whether those are roadway
[2:08:05] assumptions or land use assumptions and
[2:08:07] develop a hydraulic model and that's how
[2:08:10] we figure out what needs to be done to
[2:08:12] your system so that the water keeps
[2:08:15] flowing so to speak. Uh we meet our TCQ
[2:08:18] minimums and we provide for a reasonable
[2:08:21] level of fire protection in the city.
[2:08:23] Okay. So, this list um was developed
[2:08:26] initially back in 2021 and we kind of go
[2:08:29] through every year. It's kind of a
[2:08:30] living document, but when we need to
[2:08:32] make wholesale changes, like if you're
[2:08:34] going to change the future land use
[2:08:36] designation from let's say
[2:08:40] residential to multifamily, single
[2:08:42] family, residential, multif family,
[2:08:44] that's a different type of need from the
[2:08:46] water system. Uh, same thing could be
[2:08:49] said for fire protection for an
[2:08:51] industrial site as opposed to single
[2:08:53] family. So, just wanted to get some of
[2:08:56] that background for you. Um, you'll also
[2:08:58] note that the sheet that you have in
[2:09:00] front of you, the four-year outlook that
[2:09:01] we did, we've got one project on there.
[2:09:04] Okay. What what that means is we've got
[2:09:06] funding and we're under designer
[2:09:08] construction with the with the high
[2:09:10] priority projects, the highest priority
[2:09:12] projects, those being projects one
[2:09:14] through three. And we've got additional
[2:09:17] projects
[2:09:18] five through 10 um that need to get done
[2:09:22] at some point that are development
[2:09:23] driven. Um
[2:09:26] for instance, project 4, you'll see a a
[2:09:29] meter station improvement off Bonds
[2:09:31] Ranch Road and a transmission line as
[2:09:34] well as a second second tank at the FM
[2:09:37] 156 pump station that we're getting
[2:09:39] under construction with. Um, we know
[2:09:42] that we're going to need more water
[2:09:44] coming out of Fort Worth to serve the
[2:09:46] ultimate population of Hasslet. What we
[2:09:48] don't know is we don't know whether
[2:09:50] we're going to get that from meter
[2:09:51] station number three on Bonds Ranch Road
[2:09:53] down at the bottom of the page or if we
[2:09:56] need to pivot and go try to pull more
[2:09:59] water out of meter station 4, uh, which
[2:10:02] is over by the Harmon Road elevated tank
[2:10:04] and build a second ground storage tank
[2:10:06] over there and improve the pump station.
[2:10:08] So those those discussions are fluid and
[2:10:11] ongoing. And if you'll note over there
[2:10:13] in the remarks column far right hand
[2:10:15] side of my spreadsheet, we say city of
[2:10:17] Fort Worth coordination contract
[2:10:20] amendment may be required. So we can
[2:10:22] only pull water from them where it's
[2:10:24] available. Right? They have a very
[2:10:26] massive system. They may say, "Well, you
[2:10:29] need additional million gallons a day.
[2:10:31] We'd like you to take three quarters of
[2:10:32] it from here and a quarter of it from
[2:10:34] there." So um right now our plan is to
[2:10:39] um take water additional water needed
[2:10:41] from meter station 3 but as we move
[2:10:43] through this next year year and a half
[2:10:45] and we get into the discussions with
[2:10:47] Fort Worth that project may look a
[2:10:49] little different. We may be doing
[2:10:50] something on Harmon Road. So you know
[2:10:52] we're we're kind of beholden to TR to uh
[2:10:56] city of Fort Worth as our wholesale
[2:10:58] provider. So we have to be able to
[2:11:00] participate in projects and and do what
[2:11:02] we can to get sewer to them or water
[2:11:04] from them. So the good news is the high
[2:11:07] priority projects are are are funded
[2:11:10] under construction under design uh
[2:11:12] various stages. We do have uh one
[2:11:15] project that we anticipate needs to get
[2:11:18] started by 2728
[2:11:21] um on the on the front end of things and
[2:11:24] would need to be in place by about 29
[2:11:27] 2030. So [clears throat] um I don't know
[2:11:30] if there's any any questions
[2:11:32] specifically on on the water projects
[2:11:35] here.
[2:11:36] >> So this three and a half million sorry
[2:11:38] » So this three and a half million sorry
[2:11:38] in 2030
[2:11:40] right am I reading this correctly? Yes.
[2:11:43] >> And that's as our impact fees go down
[2:11:45] » And that's as our impact fees go down
[2:11:45] because we won't be having residential
[2:11:46] buildout anymore.
[2:11:48] >> Am I right, Marcy?
[2:11:51] » Am I right, Marcy?
[2:11:51] >> Yeah.
[2:11:51] » Yeah.
[2:11:52] >> I I would like to qualify. Impact fees
[2:11:55] » I I would like to qualify. Impact fees
[2:11:55] are not solely dependent upon
[2:11:57] residential. Any project that gets built
[2:12:01] that requires water and sewer will
[2:12:04] collect whether it's residential uh
[2:12:08] commercial retail or industrial
[2:12:12] facilities collect impact fees.
[2:12:14] >> Sure. But my point is we don't have an
[2:12:17] » Sure. But my point is we don't have an
[2:12:17] unending supply of money coming in
[2:12:19] because some of those impact fees are
[2:12:20] going to go away.
[2:12:21] >> That will Yes.
[2:12:22] » That will Yes.
[2:12:22] >> That's what I'm trying to say. So when
[2:12:24] » That's what I'm trying to say. So when
[2:12:24] I'm I'm not trying to jump on you or be
[2:12:26] rude. Please don't take it that I'm just
[2:12:28] trying trying to say 2930 when we need
[2:12:31] three and a half million. We don't know
[2:12:33] where that three and a half million is
[2:12:34] going to come from. That's the problem.
[2:12:36] >> We don't um one of the things that
[2:12:38] » We don't um one of the things that
[2:12:38] [clears throat] the mayor asked me to
[2:12:39] do, you'll see that funding column right
[2:12:41] there on the next to status kind of in
[2:12:44] front of it's cut off. It says impact
[2:12:46] fee eligible
[2:12:47] >> and then there's a funding status and we
[2:12:49] » and then there's a funding status and we
[2:12:49] have if
[2:12:52] right so what we were trying to do there
[2:12:54] is say a potential funding mechanism for
[2:12:56] that. Yes sir. Water sewer water sewer
[2:12:58] rates.
[2:12:59] >> And one of the things I wanted to bring
[2:13:01] » And one of the things I wanted to bring
[2:13:01] up and we we'll get more into this as we
[2:13:03] reconvene with the CIA and back into our
[2:13:06] discussions on the impact fee. Um
[2:13:09] Hasslet's really missed the the
[2:13:12] opportunity to capture the the the water
[2:13:15] and sewer impact fees based on
[2:13:17] residential development. The mayor spoke
[2:13:19] to that. You can look at the land use
[2:13:20] plan and see that there's very limited
[2:13:23] potential future single family
[2:13:24] residential growth in the city. Um there
[2:13:27] is uh quite quite a bit more potential
[2:13:30] for industrial commercial type growth in
[2:13:33] the city. One of the things that we'll
[2:13:35] need to look at for you all moving
[2:13:37] forward is the potential that the impact
[2:13:40] fees. You may want to do away with your
[2:13:42] impact fees. And as a project comes in,
[2:13:45] you look at the needs of the system and
[2:13:48] you negotiate or help the uh particular
[2:13:51] development come in and pay for a
[2:13:53] certain portion of some of these
[2:13:55] projects because an impact fee is
[2:13:57] basically we take all these these
[2:14:00] projects and I'm just I'm simplifying
[2:14:02] this here. take all these 10 projects,
[2:14:04] they add up to hund00 million. We cut it
[2:14:06] in half because we have to give them 50%
[2:14:08] credit, that being the developer, and
[2:14:10] then we're charging 50 million or we're
[2:14:12] trying to recoup $50 million over that
[2:14:15] expected growth during this next 10-year
[2:14:18] planning period. Well, if we don't
[2:14:20] anticipate much residential growth, that
[2:14:22] number becomes extremely high, right?
[2:14:25] Instead of $2,000 per lot, it could be
[2:14:27] $47,000 if you're trying to pay for
[2:14:30] everything with impact fees. So the
[2:14:32] other option is to work with development
[2:14:35] as they come in and get things built on
[2:14:38] an asneeded basis with a particular
[2:14:40] project. A great example of this is the
[2:14:44] Harmon Road Blue Mountain intersection
[2:14:46] for the for the Ironwood project. Now
[2:14:48] that's a street project, but it'll work
[2:14:49] for this uh example that I'm going to
[2:14:52] give you. uh your your ordinance says
[2:14:55] they have to build their prorat a share
[2:14:58] of whatever is necessary for the
[2:14:59] adjacent roadway. We negotiated with the
[2:15:03] developer to come in and reconstruct
[2:15:04] that entire intersection, right? As part
[2:15:07] of the pre-annexation deal that was
[2:15:09] negotiated with the developer. So that
[2:15:12] same type of concept can and probably
[2:15:14] should be applied to future water and
[2:15:16] sewer projects. And one of the things
[2:15:18] that we're trying to move forward with
[2:15:20] as we reconvene with the with the CIA
[2:15:23] and and all the laws have changed and
[2:15:25] it's it's getting harder and harder for
[2:15:27] cities to pay for things with impact
[2:15:30] fees is where this is going. And so I
[2:15:32] think one of the things that we probably
[2:15:34] should look at in conjunction with any
[2:15:36] changes to the Thoroughare plan or the
[2:15:38] land use plan is a wholesale look and
[2:15:41] discussion about how these projects may
[2:15:44] be may be funded in the future because
[2:15:45] you're right, the impact fees are going
[2:15:47] down. The impact fees um weren't high
[2:15:49] enough to begin with and a lot of those
[2:15:51] impact fees as you can see going through
[2:15:53] the records here have been rebated or
[2:15:56] credited back. Right? So you're you're
[2:15:58] kind of you're running out of you're
[2:16:00] running out of those impact fees to pay
[2:16:02] for future improvements.
[2:16:03] >> The only as I'm going to add to that
[2:16:06] » The only as I'm going to add to that
[2:16:06] well one uh current legislation or the
[2:16:09] legislation on that um
[2:16:14] infrastructure reimbursement by
[2:16:16] developers has to be studied. Uh the uh
[2:16:20] impact fee is
[2:16:24] for the most part has been used to
[2:16:28] when these water and sewer lines were
[2:16:31] upgraded
[2:16:33] and anticipation of development coming
[2:16:37] the impact fee. legislation allowed
[2:16:42] the municipality to charge that
[2:16:45] development a certain amount of money.
[2:16:48] It was pre-built. Now you're going to
[2:16:50] pay your fair share of that line. That's
[2:16:52] one aspect of it. But also the impact
[2:16:54] fee is collected to build a requirement
[2:17:00] of a water and sewer line to serve a
[2:17:03] particular development.
[2:17:06] The only um
[2:17:11] now what we do charge is maximum allowed
[2:17:14] by law.
[2:17:16] We do do that.
[2:17:20] But the negotiation
[2:17:23] u I will that's that's good if it works
[2:17:26] but that's a casebyase basis. We'll have
[2:17:29] to study that uh explicitly and see um
[2:17:34] if that is viable. The project that uh
[2:17:38] Mr. Anderson spoke of is that was a very
[2:17:42] unique case.
[2:17:44] Developer wanted that project that bad.
[2:17:49] He goes, "Okay, I'll build the road."
[2:17:53] And um it worked out well. And he was in
[2:17:57] fact he was rather generous, very
[2:17:59] generous in doing so. That's a $4
[2:18:02] million piece of roadway he's building
[2:18:05] at his total cost. Anyway, the the but
[2:18:09] yes, these are conversations that we
[2:18:11] have to have, but we have to uh exercise
[2:18:14] sound judgment. Right now, we got the uh
[2:18:16] uh legislation, the state law behind us
[2:18:19] with regard to impact fees.
[2:18:22] >> Go ahead.
[2:18:23] » Go ahead.
[2:18:23] >> I think we just need to plan because if,
[2:18:27] » I think we just need to plan because if,
[2:18:27] as you said, our impact fees are going
[2:18:28] down and our impact needs are still
[2:18:30] going to be there and we're going to
[2:18:31] need this is just one project three and
[2:18:33] a half million in four years from now.
[2:18:36] So, this is what I was trying to get to
[2:18:37] earlier about we need to have a 5year
[2:18:39] lookout or a 10ear lookout or whatever
[2:18:40] of all of this because our funding
[2:18:43] sources are going to change and our
[2:18:45] needs are going to go up and we're going
[2:18:47] to have projects to do and we can't just
[2:18:49] all of a sudden say, "Oh, well, we need
[2:18:51] a $100 million bond." I mean, that
[2:18:52] doesn't work. So we just need to start
[2:18:54] looking at you know are there ways that
[2:18:56] we can plan for the future that makes it
[2:19:00] not such extremes
[2:19:02] >> and we are just to give you insight on
[2:19:05] » and we are just to give you insight on
[2:19:05] that Marcy and I have uh had over the
[2:19:08] many many months have discussions what
[2:19:10] we're doing is assembling these I'll
[2:19:14] call it the 10-year necessity plans
[2:19:19] on water sewer roads and capital
[2:19:22] equipment We got scheduled departments
[2:19:25] have scheduled capital equipment that's
[2:19:27] coming. We know when it's coming and
[2:19:30] that is uh runs into the millions of
[2:19:32] dollars and but to put that in front of
[2:19:37] u our um
[2:19:40] broker
[2:19:42] but what do we call him?
[2:19:43] >> They're financial advisor hilltop.
[2:19:47] » They're financial advisor hilltop.
[2:19:47] Hilltop and look at now that's all
[2:19:50] pointed towards bonds. But how can we
[2:19:54] structure that over the years
[2:19:58] and keep the tax rate somewhat
[2:20:01] consistent
[2:20:05] and that would be one piece of that will
[2:20:08] go into a plan. But that yes, bonds uh
[2:20:12] you know I think it was 22 that we took
[2:20:16] uh uh bond out $17 million and the great
[2:20:21] majority of that was all water and sewer
[2:20:24] every bit of it. Uh so but that project
[2:20:27] is addressing uh projects that we're
[2:20:30] building now.
[2:20:33] >> So
[2:20:35] » So
[2:20:36] >> Mayor,
[2:20:36] » Mayor,
[2:20:36] >> yes, a plan is needed. Yes, ma'am. Um, I
[2:20:39] » yes, a plan is needed. Yes, ma'am. Um, I
[2:20:39] have a few questions. Um, so you were,
[2:20:41] it shows on here four, which I love how
[2:20:44] it all connects now that I'm
[2:20:45] understanding your charts. One, two,
[2:20:47] three are in process this year. Is that
[2:20:49] my understanding?
[2:20:51] >> They're either completed or they're
[2:20:53] » They're either completed or they're
[2:20:53] funded and under construction or design.
[2:20:56] So, we were just trying to um basically
[2:21:00] capture what was not currently funded,
[2:21:03] but identified as a need, if that makes
[2:21:06] sense.
[2:21:06] >> Got it. I would still love to see five
[2:21:08] » Got it. I would still love to see five
[2:21:08] through 10 just so we can see the pro
[2:21:10] projection. I I don't want information
[2:21:12] hidden from me so I could better
[2:21:13] understand it. I'd just rather have it
[2:21:15] highlighted. Um but for um
[2:21:21] number five, are are we even though
[2:21:24] we're not looking at starting these
[2:21:25] right now, we know this is incoming
[2:21:28] items that we have to do to keep our
[2:21:30] city running. Like number five, are we
[2:21:31] working on grants for that? because
[2:21:33] grants I mean the water tank
[2:21:36] rehabilitation I mean we could easily
[2:21:39] well not we have a good shot at a grant
[2:21:42] um that could cover it from um I always
[2:21:46] get the acronymics up TWWDB grants
[2:21:48] they're pretty common especially for
[2:21:50] small cities like us are we looking into
[2:21:52] those items because th they can cover up
[2:21:54] to 100% of the water tower rehab
[2:21:57] >> yeah we've we've got um we we haven't
[2:22:00] » yeah we've we've got um we we haven't
[2:22:00] looked into a grant for the rehab there
[2:22:03] funding that was part of the 2022
[2:22:06] issuance um specifically for that
[2:22:09] project. So, I don't know if that may or
[2:22:11] may or may not create a problem, but um
[2:22:14] we are aware of the the different um
[2:22:17] TWWDB grants and um we we've got um two
[2:22:23] of those that we're looking at and
[2:22:24] trying to uh work in on the drainage
[2:22:27] side um this fall, but um we don't have
[2:22:32] anything like teed up and ready to go
[2:22:35] for that particular project,
[2:22:38] >> but we do have the uh
[2:22:40] » but we do have the uh
[2:22:40] rehabilitation of that tank funded.
[2:22:43] >> Yes, sir.
[2:22:43] » Yes, sir.
[2:22:43] >> Fully funded.
[2:22:44] » Fully funded.
[2:22:44] >> Yes.
[2:22:45] » Yes.
[2:22:45] >> Yes.
[2:22:46] » Yes.
[2:22:46] >> Through that through the bond that we
[2:22:48] » Through that through the bond that we
[2:22:48] took out in 22.
[2:22:49] >> Yeah. It was 750,000 is what we estimate
[2:22:52] » Yeah. It was 750,000 is what we estimate
[2:22:52] to paint that tank
[2:22:55] >> and but back in 2022.
[2:22:58] » and but back in 2022.
[2:22:58] >> Yeah. That I I think it was a healthy it
[2:23:01] » Yeah. That I I think it was a healthy it
[2:23:01] was a healthy budget that was put
[2:23:02] together in 22.
[2:23:04] So, if we were to apply for a grant and
[2:23:07] get it, there's no way for us to
[2:23:08] reimburse the bond. Wouldn't it be
[2:23:10] better for us to get a free grant then?
[2:23:12] And this is part of the reason why you
[2:23:13] got to be careful when you take bonds
[2:23:15] when you're not ready.
[2:23:16] >> I'd have to consult, we'd have to
[2:23:17] » I'd have to consult, we'd have to
[2:23:17] consult with Hill uh Hilltop and Marcy
[2:23:21] and I.
[2:23:21] >> But I think this is a really see how
[2:23:23] » But I think this is a really see how
[2:23:23] that would work.
[2:23:24] >> Good example of why you don't pre-take a
[2:23:25] » Good example of why you don't pre-take a
[2:23:25] bond before you're ready to move
[2:23:28] into the active construction or phase of
[2:23:32] it. Because I mean this could
[2:23:34] potentially cost us a 100% grant where
[2:23:38] the city wouldn't have had to pay
[2:23:39] anything.
[2:23:40] >> Make note of that.
[2:23:41] » Make note of that.
[2:23:41] >> Why did we pre like why did we move
[2:23:44] » Why did we pre like why did we move
[2:23:44] forward with the bond so early for
[2:23:45] something we're not even working on
[2:23:47] actively?
[2:23:48] >> We had it planned,
[2:23:50] » We had it planned,
[2:23:50] >> but we're not doing it right now.
[2:23:51] » but we're not doing it right now.
[2:23:51] >> We had it planned. Engineering, you want
[2:23:53] » We had it planned. Engineering, you want
[2:23:53] to address that?
[2:23:55] >> So the the rehab of that tank could not
[2:23:57] » So the the rehab of that tank could not
[2:23:57] occur until the pump station is up up
[2:23:59] and running. Uh, one of the things that
[2:24:02] was asked of engineering and public
[2:24:05] works back when the bond was
[2:24:06] contemplated was um, in addition to the
[2:24:10] hydraulic improvements and storage
[2:24:12] improvements, pumping, were there any
[2:24:15] uh, known um,
[2:24:18] uh, maintenance type projects? And that
[2:24:22] was one of them that was determined to
[2:24:24] be necessary due to the tank
[2:24:26] inspections.
[2:24:28] >> Okay. If we pull a bond, it just seems
[2:24:31] » Okay. If we pull a bond, it just seems
[2:24:31] like we have a responsibility at that
[2:24:34] point to ensure that those projects are
[2:24:35] moving forward and not re prioritizing
[2:24:39] without that consideration. It's just a
[2:24:41] little interesting that we pulled a bond
[2:24:43] for back in 2022.
[2:24:46] Did we even apply for grants then?
[2:24:48] >> A grant?
[2:24:49] » A grant?
[2:24:49] >> Yes.
[2:24:50] » Yes.
[2:24:50] >> No, I didn't apply for grant.
[2:24:51] » No, I didn't apply for grant.
[2:24:51] >> Why would we not apply for grants?
[2:24:53] » Why would we not apply for grants?
[2:24:53] >> I apply for grants that I'm aware of.
[2:24:57] » I apply for grants that I'm aware of.
[2:24:57] Were you aware of it? Yes.
[2:25:00] >> In 22
[2:25:01] » In 22
[2:25:01] >> I'm aware of grants for water towers
[2:25:04] » I'm aware of grants for water towers
[2:25:04] >> for in 22 you were
[2:25:06] » for in 22 you were
[2:25:06] >> okay let's get back on track and not get
[2:25:07] » okay let's get back on track and not get
[2:25:07] into arguments please I don't know
[2:25:10] >> understood you know is uh a lot of this
[2:25:13] » understood you know is uh a lot of this
[2:25:13] is planning the you know there are some
[2:25:15] projects that we have are dependent upon
[2:25:19] others the this new uh uh $5.6 6 million
[2:25:26] pump station project we're doing is key
[2:25:28] to other projects and we cannot pursue
[2:25:31] until that's done. That pump station
[2:25:33] project has drugged out longer than what
[2:25:35] we expected. It just has and so we can't
[2:25:40] do the water tower rehabilitation till
[2:25:44] that project's online because that
[2:25:47] project is getting a new 1 million
[2:25:50] gallon ground storage tank. We have to
[2:25:53] have the storage capacity to take the
[2:25:55] tower offline.
[2:25:56] >> I understand.
[2:25:57] » I understand.
[2:25:57] >> So there there are things that
[2:26:02] are dependent upon the other. Some
[2:26:04] things end up moving slower than what we
[2:26:07] expected.
[2:26:07] >> I do understand that.
[2:26:08] » I do understand that.
[2:26:08] >> Okay. Well, then that's why it wasn't
[2:26:11] » Okay. Well, then that's why it wasn't
[2:26:11] intentionally let's take let's borrow
[2:26:13] money uh and we consciously know we're
[2:26:16] going to wait four years before we ever
[2:26:18] spend any of it. No, that that is not
[2:26:21] the thought process. Yes, Mr. Mayor.
[2:26:22] >> Yes.
[2:26:23] » Yes.
[2:26:23] >> None of that has anything to do with her
[2:26:24] » None of that has anything to do with her
[2:26:24] fundamental question.
[2:26:26] >> Her fundamental her fundamental question
[2:26:27] » Her fundamental her fundamental question
[2:26:27] is why May I finish speaking, please?
[2:26:31] You recognize me and I'm not done
[2:26:32] speaking
[2:26:33] >> before we're ready to do anything.
[2:26:35] » before we're ready to do anything.
[2:26:35] >> You recognized me and I wasn't done
[2:26:36] » You recognized me and I wasn't done
[2:26:36] speaking.
[2:26:37] >> Anyway, we go ahead please.
[2:26:40] » Anyway, we go ahead please.
[2:26:40] >> Thank you. You're all that big
[2:26:43] » Thank you. You're all that big
[2:26:43] discussion that big explanation had
[2:26:44] nothing to do with her fundamental
[2:26:45] question. Her fundamental question was
[2:26:48] why didn't we try for bonds before we
[2:26:50] went for I mean for grants before we
[2:26:52] went for a bond. That's the fundamental
[2:26:53] question. All of the things you said is
[2:26:55] correct. We have to do this before that.
[2:26:57] >> Yeah.
[2:26:57] » Yeah.
[2:26:57] >> That doesn't speak to her fundamental
[2:26:58] » That doesn't speak to her fundamental
[2:26:58] question.
[2:26:59] >> The the well I I thought I answered
[2:27:01] » The the well I I thought I answered
[2:27:01] [clears throat] that. No one in the
[2:27:03] city, no one public works engineering
[2:27:07] partners with engineering was aware of
[2:27:10] any grants for tank rehabilitation.
[2:27:15] No one was aware of it.
[2:27:20] » That's a simple answer.
[2:27:23] >> Okay.
[2:27:25] » Okay.
[2:27:25] >> Okay. Thank you. Can we move on, please?
[2:27:29] » Okay. Thank you. Can we move on, please?
[2:27:29] Anything
[2:27:34] else on water capital?
[2:27:39] » Um, Mike, I just wanted to point out for
[2:27:42] them on or you're you're moving to sewer
[2:27:46] next.
[2:27:47] >> Go ahead, Marcy.
[2:27:48] » Go ahead, Marcy.
[2:27:48] >> Okay. Um, I was just going to point out
[2:27:50] » Okay. Um, I was just going to point out
[2:27:50] on page 283 in the water capital
[2:27:56] um
[2:27:57] >> 283
[2:28:00] in the book
[2:28:01] >> 283. Um, just to show that the water
[2:28:05] » 283. Um, just to show that the water
[2:28:05] rate study, the items on Mike's sheet
[2:28:08] from 2627,
[2:28:12] the water rate study for 10,000 and the
[2:28:16] sewer rate study for 10,000.
[2:28:19] Those are listed um
[2:28:22] on I I gave you the wrong sheet. I'm
[2:28:25] sorry. Let's see.
[2:28:29] I moved on to my head.
[2:28:40] Page 163. I'm sorry.
[2:28:44] >> 163.
[2:28:45] » 163.
[2:28:45] >> Yes.
[2:28:47] » Yes.
[2:28:47] So, $20,000 for water and sewer rate
[2:28:50] study is in there
[2:28:52] on Mike's project S5 in the sewer.
[2:28:58] 165,000
[2:29:00] um for design and engineering is funded
[2:29:04] on that page. And then his project S6
[2:29:10] um 130,000
[2:29:12] for design and engineering
[2:29:15] is funded.
[2:29:17] Um just just so you know where those
[2:29:20] are. The development participation
[2:29:23] um is also funded
[2:29:27] um in the water fund
[2:29:31] and
[2:29:33] the INI reduction is on this page
[2:29:37] 100,000
[2:29:41] um develop developer participation is
[2:29:45] combined 515 for both water and sewer is
[2:29:50] that um 103,000.
[2:29:54] So everything that's under his 2627
[2:29:58] column on this page is
[2:30:00] >> funded right there.
[2:30:02] » funded right there.
[2:30:02] >> And I'm sorry, mayor, I do have a just a
[2:30:05] » And I'm sorry, mayor, I do have a just a
[2:30:05] few more small questions. Um to go back,
[2:30:08] Mike, you said that we have 750,000.
[2:30:12] Have we scheduled an inspection to get
[2:30:14] an estimate of really the condition in
[2:30:18] >> Yeah.
[2:30:20] » Yeah.
[2:30:20] When's your last when was your last
[2:30:21] Harmon inspection?
[2:30:23] >> Uh, usually it's right around the o
[2:30:24] » Uh, usually it's right around the o
[2:30:24] October. There's another one already
[2:30:26] scheduled. It's going to happen in uh
[2:30:28] November this year, but we do an annual
[2:30:30] inspection by dive and uh basically
[2:30:33] there's no the coating is long past
[2:30:35] needing to be replaced. There's nothing
[2:30:37] that's critical in that tank that's but
[2:30:39] you don't want to get to a level that's
[2:30:41] ever critical. So there is starting to
[2:30:44] be rust and stuff showing on the outside
[2:30:46] of it on the tank. On the inside, there
[2:30:48] is expected blistering, but like there's
[2:30:50] no major
[2:30:53] flaw in it, but it is overdue and should
[2:30:56] be recoded. That's the main need for
[2:30:58] that tank.
[2:30:59] >> So, I'm just going to highly suggest
[2:31:01] » So, I'm just going to highly suggest
[2:31:01] that we reook at our estimate because
[2:31:04] 750,000 I I would put money on it is not
[2:31:07] correct. Um, if from what he's saying
[2:31:11] with the rust and coating and also if
[2:31:14] we're we're repainting the outside,
[2:31:17] I think it's a lot higher than you think
[2:31:19] right now. So, I would just suggest a
[2:31:21] full estimate done by the city to
[2:31:23] prepare for that because it's a pretty
[2:31:25] significant expense, especially if we
[2:31:27] already have a bond and we're depending
[2:31:28] on the money from the bond. If it is
[2:31:31] going to cost more, maybe we can apply
[2:31:32] for a grant for partial and get some
[2:31:34] assistance. So, since it's the next item
[2:31:37] on the priority list, I'm just
[2:31:39] suggesting we start looking at it this
[2:31:40] year. And I followed that up with a
[2:31:43] question of if we were to do that, how
[2:31:44] much do you guys think you would need to
[2:31:46] be on the when they do the dive, do they
[2:31:48] give you a workup of the estimate?
[2:31:51] When's the last time we had that done?
[2:31:52] >> So, when we the divers, what they look
[2:31:55] » So, when we the divers, what they look
[2:31:55] at is they basically look at blistering
[2:31:57] in the co c coatings. They look for any
[2:32:00] like major defect that you just can't
[2:32:02] visually see from the water line that.
[2:32:05] So, we're not they're not giving us
[2:32:07] anything beyond it needs to be recoded.
[2:32:11] So, that our assumption is that tank
[2:32:13] will need to be drained, sandlasted, and
[2:32:15] recoded the same as it would before. And
[2:32:18] I believe we had a pretty good number
[2:32:20] recently on that of what they expected
[2:32:23] that to be. I thought that that 750 was
[2:32:26] thought to be pretty good, but we can we
[2:32:28] can look back at that and see.
[2:32:33] » And I I'm not speaking for that company
[2:32:35] or my husband, but this is what my
[2:32:37] husband does. He does water towers and
[2:32:39] he's saying he suggests that you guys
[2:32:41] look into this because the budget you're
[2:32:43] stating
[2:32:46] >> I'm just suggesting you look into it and
[2:32:47] » I'm just suggesting you look into it and
[2:32:47] that's where my information and
[2:32:48] knowledge is coming from. this is what
[2:32:50] he does and he's just suggesting you
[2:32:53] take another look.
[2:32:54] >> We can do that.
[2:32:54] » We can do that.
[2:32:54] >> That's all I'm saying.
[2:32:55] » That's all I'm saying.
[2:32:55] >> Oh, that's fine.
[2:32:56] » Oh, that's fine.
[2:32:56] >> Because I am I am not um this is not
[2:32:59] » Because I am I am not um this is not
[2:32:59] where my knowledge comes from, but I
[2:33:00] wanted you to understand why I'm
[2:33:01] questioning it.
[2:33:02] >> No, I understand. We've we've my office
[2:33:05] » No, I understand. We've we've my office
[2:33:05] has done three of these in the last
[2:33:07] three years. The latest one we did uh we
[2:33:10] did two over in Shady Shores and Lake
[2:33:12] Dallas, and they were about a half a
[2:33:14] million each. They were the uh one was a
[2:33:17] legged style tank.
[2:33:19] >> The other one was a spheroid like the
[2:33:21] » The other one was a spheroid like the
[2:33:21] golf ball T.
[2:33:22] >> So quite a bit more prep and work and
[2:33:24] » So quite a bit more prep and work and
[2:33:24] full containment. Um but and that's um
[2:33:28] that's kind of what we had based our
[2:33:29] number off of. This one's a little bit
[2:33:31] >> less surface area. It's a little bit
[2:33:33] » less surface area. It's a little bit
[2:33:33] larger diameter. But what I can do is um
[2:33:36] let me go uh get on one of the bid
[2:33:39] networks and find a recent bid tab. And
[2:33:42] then I can also check with uh Teneemic
[2:33:45] and Sherwin Williams.
[2:33:46] >> Yeah, you can also call any of the
[2:33:48] » Yeah, you can also call any of the
[2:33:48] companies. I know that would mean they
[2:33:50] possibly potentially I don't know how
[2:33:51] that works for them then bidding for us,
[2:33:53] but
[2:33:54] >> they'll get out to you pretty fa fast
[2:33:55] » they'll get out to you pretty fa fast
[2:33:55] and give you an accurate estimate just
[2:33:57] for
[2:33:58] >> the idea that if we are needing it, we
[2:34:00] » the idea that if we are needing it, we
[2:34:00] need to get ahead of the grant not
[2:34:01] necessarily to move forward on the work.
[2:34:04] >> Understand?
[2:34:04] » Understand?
[2:34:04] >> What agency is that grant through? I'd
[2:34:07] » What agency is that grant through? I'd
[2:34:07] like to write it down.
[2:34:08] >> TWWDB Mike County region. No,
[2:34:12] » TWWDB Mike County region. No,
[2:34:12] >> no. Texas Water Development Board,
[2:34:14] » no. Texas Water Development Board,
[2:34:14] >> yeah,
[2:34:14] » yeah,
[2:34:14] >> is one of them.
[2:34:15] » is one of them.
[2:34:15] >> There's there's a ton of them. That's
[2:34:17] » There's there's a ton of them. That's
[2:34:17] just one of the main ones. I mean,
[2:34:19] there's like a dozen if you do a quick
[2:34:21] search.
[2:34:22] >> But, I mean, it's interesting just the
[2:34:24] » But, I mean, it's interesting just the
[2:34:24] water tower information just as we
[2:34:26] actually had a company within our city
[2:34:28] limits that builds water towers. I'm
[2:34:30] just surprised we haven't communicated
[2:34:32] with them. I know they've recently moved
[2:34:33] out, but I mean, Landmark Towers is
[2:34:36] here. Yeah, we uh negotiated with them
[2:34:40] 20 some odd years ago
[2:34:43] >> for that water tower.
[2:34:44] » for that water tower.
[2:34:44] >> Yeah,
[2:34:45] » Yeah,
[2:34:45] >> they built that water tower.
[2:34:47] » they built that water tower.
[2:34:47] >> Yep.
[2:34:47] » Yep.
[2:34:48] >> They donated the property.
[2:34:49] » They donated the property.
[2:34:49] >> I know.
[2:34:51] » I know.
[2:34:51] >> So, well, very good. So, uh we uh but
[2:34:55] » So, well, very good. So, uh we uh but
[2:34:55] they sold their business.
[2:34:57] >> Understood.
[2:34:57] » Understood.
[2:34:57] >> They're no longer in business.
[2:34:58] » They're no longer in business.
[2:34:58] >> They are in business. My husband works
[2:35:00] » They are in business. My husband works
[2:35:00] for them.
[2:35:00] >> Okay. Well, they don't work there
[2:35:02] » Okay. Well, they don't work there
[2:35:02] anymore.
[2:35:03] >> Correct.
[2:35:04] » Correct.
[2:35:04] >> Good. Um, Mr. Anderson, please continue.
[2:35:11] » Good. Um, Mr. Anderson, please continue.
[2:35:11] >> Okay. Uh, let's go to our sewer projects
[2:35:13] » Okay. Uh, let's go to our sewer projects
[2:35:13] real quick. The good news is Marcy said
[2:35:16] everything's in the budget. So, we'll
[2:35:17] we'll walk through the the next list of
[2:35:20] uh sewer projects. See if you have any
[2:35:22] questions there and then we can get into
[2:35:25] streets and drainage. So, sewer is on
[2:35:27] the same sheet. There's two projects on
[2:35:29] there. Um,
[2:35:34] I don't know who's James. Are you got do
[2:35:36] you have the screen? Can we get it to
[2:35:37] sewer?
[2:35:40] >> Oh, mayor, can you can you slide to uh
[2:35:43] » Oh, mayor, can you can you slide to uh
[2:35:43] sewer projects for me, please, sir?
[2:35:46] Thank you. Okay, so uh we've got sewer
[2:35:50] project S5 and S6
[2:35:53] um currently
[2:35:55] uh in this next year's budget. Uh
[2:35:59] Buffalo Creek sewer is um a necessary
[2:36:04] upgrade to the downstream leg of the
[2:36:08] Buffalo Creek sewer system that was put
[2:36:10] in and designed back when um
[2:36:14] the city was contemplating halfacre
[2:36:16] lots. And so that uh 15inch line needs
[2:36:20] to go to a 21. There's also a small
[2:36:23] piece of sewer. Let me just see if I can
[2:36:26] show you real quick. Maybe
[2:36:29] It's not working.
[2:36:32] There's a
[2:36:34] Well, it was working earlier. There it
[2:36:36] goes. There's a portion of um
[2:36:40] of sewer that needs to be rerouted
[2:36:42] through the uh TR meter station that's
[2:36:45] about to get under construction as well.
[2:36:47] So, that's a uh basically a $1.8 million
[2:36:52] uh capital project. That is an impact
[2:36:54] fee eligible project. We are asking for
[2:36:58] 165,000
[2:37:00] this next year to get the design
[2:37:02] completed and work through uh easement
[2:37:06] acquisitions.
[2:37:07] There are um let's see if I could show
[2:37:10] you here.
[2:37:13] » Yeah, if you don't mind. I don't know
[2:37:14] how to do that.
[2:37:23] » Okay. Okay. So, what we have up on the
[2:37:25] screen, we're we're at the end of the
[2:37:26] runway. This is Westport Parkway. The
[2:37:29] the orange line you see is the 21in line
[2:37:33] that's coming in from TRA with a project
[2:37:35] that's about to get under construction.
[2:37:37] And then we have our meter station here
[2:37:40] located in this fenced area. We have to
[2:37:43] reroute a portion of the city's existing
[2:37:46] what used to be an 8 inch line that you
[2:37:48] can kind of see here is dashed. that has
[2:37:51] to get rerouted back through the the
[2:37:54] back side of the meter station. Um TR
[2:37:58] was not able to include that in their
[2:38:00] scope of the project because they did
[2:38:01] not um they didn't have any assets over
[2:38:04] there uh beyond our meter. So that is a
[2:38:08] project that um we've got survey done.
[2:38:11] We've got the easement documents done.
[2:38:13] We've got a appraisal done for one of
[2:38:16] the parcels. So, we're we're well on our
[2:38:18] way to having that project uh designed
[2:38:21] in anticipation of going to construction
[2:38:24] uh this next fiscal year. And then the
[2:38:27] rest of that project would include
[2:38:29] replacement of the undersized 15
[2:38:33] generally shown on this screen here from
[2:38:35] the meter station uh up at the top of
[2:38:37] the sheet. Uh basically down through
[2:38:40] Harmon Road, you see Harmon Road. Um, so
[2:38:44] that's uh that's the uh imminent need
[2:38:47] for uh sewer on Buffalo Creek. That is
[2:38:50] project S5.
[2:38:54] Um, Brentwood,
[2:38:58] walk you through that real quick. Uh,
[2:39:00] one of the um benefits of building the
[2:39:11] fire station sewer in accordance with
[2:39:13] the city's uh master plan was the
[2:39:17] ability to uh provide
[2:39:20] firsttime sewer service to the uh
[2:39:23] Brentwood neighborhood.
[2:39:27] There's currently only a small portion
[2:39:29] of the neighborhood adjacent to 156 with
[2:39:31] with sewer. So, you can see on my screen
[2:39:35] or on your screen here, you got this
[2:39:36] solid red line. That's the fire station
[2:39:38] sewer line that was uh recently
[2:39:41] completed to serve the fire station. The
[2:39:43] the area in blue is the sewer basin that
[2:39:46] that line will be able to serve. Um, now
[2:39:49] that that facility is in place, you can
[2:39:51] note it extends down through Hue White
[2:39:53] and includes a portion of Blue Mount
[2:39:55] Hill over adjacent to North Glenn. That
[2:39:58] being said, uh, you'll note that
[2:40:00] Brentwood uh, has the ability to be
[2:40:03] served. You can note the drainage
[2:40:05] divide. So, basically everything left of
[2:40:08] the blue line currently has sewer out to
[2:40:10] 156 due to the topography. Anything to
[2:40:13] the right doesn't currently have sewer,
[2:40:15] um, public sewer, I should say. And so,
[2:40:19] um, there's a project that we've, uh,
[2:40:21] conceptualized and got in the budget,
[2:40:24] um, for extension of the of a sewer main
[2:40:28] into the subdivision. So, this is a
[2:40:30] property map developed for the fire
[2:40:33] station sewer project. And then, um, I'm
[2:40:36] going to zoom in a little bit.
[2:40:38] Everybody's kind of got their bearings
[2:40:39] straight here. You can see uh coming off
[2:40:43] of basically adjacent to the western
[2:40:45] ball field uh we're proposing a 8 in
[2:40:50] sewer extension into Brentwood as phase
[2:40:52] one. That's the phase one project you
[2:40:54] see. And then the rest of this
[2:40:57] neighborhood could potentially be
[2:40:59] sewered um as shown on my exhibit here.
[2:41:02] Uh the the front side adjacent to 156.
[2:41:06] There's some city-owned lots over there
[2:41:08] and some other privately owned lots.
[2:41:10] Those could tie in to the end of that
[2:41:12] 10-inch line that was put in with the
[2:41:13] fire station.
[2:41:14] >> That loop around Brentwood, all of it is
[2:41:19] » That loop around Brentwood, all of it is
[2:41:19] the cost of it is reflected in 2930 at
[2:41:23] $450,000.
[2:41:25] That's what that is. Uh there are many
[2:41:28] of the uh property owners in Brentwood.
[2:41:32] Well, all of them right now to date are
[2:41:34] maybe except one or two on the very at
[2:41:37] 156.
[2:41:38] All of them have san or uh septic
[2:41:41] systems or anorobic systems. Many of
[2:41:44] them have come and requested to tie into
[2:41:46] the city sewer. And we told them it was
[2:41:50] maybe going back two years about this
[2:41:52] project that's coming in. And they would
[2:41:55] much rather pay uh a a new septic system
[2:42:01] runs about $25,000.
[2:42:04] they would much rather pay uh say 14 or
[2:42:08] $15,000
[2:42:11] to connect to a city system.
[2:42:14] It's much cheaper and more reliable.
[2:42:17] So that was planned and you know and
[2:42:20] hopefully maybe that can be moved up
[2:42:23] from 2930 time frame.
[2:42:25] >> So this is basically phase one step one
[2:42:27] » So this is basically phase one step one
[2:42:27] is to do this first.
[2:42:29] >> Get get the line into the subdivision
[2:42:31] » Get get the line into the subdivision
[2:42:31] and then go from there. And the mayor
[2:42:33] the mayor um spoke about the potential
[2:42:36] for a kind of like a a hookup connection
[2:42:39] charge. There's we did a project many
[2:42:41] years ago and the uh part of South Lake
[2:42:45] where we were running firsttime sewer
[2:42:46] service and and the mayor's speaking
[2:42:49] about replacement of septics. It was the
[2:42:51] same situation out there. Those folks
[2:42:53] were faced with do we spend $20,000 at
[2:42:56] the time for septic or do we
[2:42:57] spend$10,000. I think the city basically
[2:43:00] said we'll cover it 50/50. you put in
[2:43:02] 10, we'll cover 10. So, those are all
[2:43:04] policy questions that we'll have to get
[2:43:05] to at some point, but uh yeah, there's
[2:43:08] some different options there um for
[2:43:11] that. So, that's that's that project.
[2:43:13] Now, that project does require some
[2:43:15] easements, and there's been some
[2:43:17] discussion on on how some of those
[2:43:18] easements may or may not be worked
[2:43:21] through there with some of the property
[2:43:22] owners. And so, we're we're just trying
[2:43:24] to work through some of the minutia and
[2:43:26] detail of that. But the the good news is
[2:43:29] the ability to serve is there. uh
[2:43:31] because that line was basically uh built
[2:43:34] in accordance with the master plan.
[2:43:36] >> And go back to that uh area where you
[2:43:38] » And go back to that uh area where you
[2:43:38] had the blue boundary around this uh
[2:43:40] basin.
[2:43:41] >> Yes, sir.
[2:43:42] » Yes, sir.
[2:43:42] >> Just to give them a little background
[2:43:44] » Just to give them a little background
[2:43:44] early on, there were two different
[2:43:46] routes that could have been chosen to uh
[2:43:49] provide this uh new sewer line. one
[2:43:52] would have been gone from uh the fire
[2:43:55] station
[2:43:56] straight out to 156,
[2:43:59] but it uh uh through the study of it
[2:44:02] that opened up a more limited area of
[2:44:06] service, I think about 360 acres.
[2:44:11] This one uh essentially for the same
[2:44:15] money, different route, different basin,
[2:44:19] opened up 540 acres.
[2:44:23] So, it uh it was a good choice. Uh it'll
[2:44:26] be a good return on that investment.
[2:44:31] » Any questions on the two sewer projects
[2:44:34] that we have on the on the list?
[2:44:38] >> I just meant to ask you for sewer and
[2:44:40] » I just meant to ask you for sewer and
[2:44:40] water. Is there anything that you feel
[2:44:41] like is a priority that's not listed for
[2:44:44] this year for either of them? Something
[2:44:46] that we're leaving out?
[2:44:47] >> No, ma'am. We're covered.
[2:44:48] » No, ma'am. We're covered.
[2:44:48] >> Okay.
[2:44:54] Okay. If if we're good on water and
[2:44:56] sewer,
[2:44:58] then uh maybe we jump into roads. So,
[2:45:00] that's the big list with the big dollars
[2:45:02] down at the bottom.
[2:45:10] All right, James. What do I do here?
[2:45:18] » Streets, drainage, and improvements.
[2:45:23] Uh, so I will uh I'll say this, streets,
[2:45:26] drainage, improvements is going to take
[2:45:28] a little bit longer than water and sewer
[2:45:31] did put together. Do you want a break
[2:45:34] for lunch now? and then come back and
[2:45:37] start with water and sewer or streets.
[2:45:41] >> Could we spend five minutes and get our
[2:45:42] » Could we spend five minutes and get our
[2:45:42] food and then work while we eat
[2:45:44] >> because we we
[2:45:45] » because we we
[2:45:45] >> we don't have families. It's the last
[2:45:47] » we don't have families. It's the last
[2:45:47] weekend of Sorry. It's the last weekend
[2:45:50] of summer. I think we're all trying to
[2:45:52] get out of here.
[2:45:53] >> I will say I do believe Mr. Anderson has
[2:45:55] » I will say I do believe Mr. Anderson has
[2:45:55] to leave at some point, too. He has
[2:45:58] other
[2:45:59] >> What's your cut off?
[2:46:00] » What's your cut off?
[2:46:00] >> As long as I'm out of here by two
[2:46:02] » As long as I'm out of here by two
[2:46:02] o'clock, I'm good.
[2:46:03] >> Oh my goodness.
[2:46:04] » Oh my goodness.
[2:46:04] >> Oh. So, can we please take like five
[2:46:06] » Oh. So, can we please take like five
[2:46:06] minutes and get our food and come back
[2:46:07] and work through lunch and and and keep
[2:46:10] going
[2:46:10] >> or wait and break through for lunch
[2:46:11] » or wait and break through for lunch
[2:46:12] later? Either one's fine.
[2:46:14] >> Sure, we'll do that. So, I'll tell you
[2:46:16] » Sure, we'll do that. So, I'll tell you
[2:46:16] what then. I'm going to recess the open
[2:46:18] session for 15 minutes.
[2:46:21] >> Get your food.
[2:46:22] » Get your food.
[2:46:22] >> Okay. Thank you.
[2:46:23] » Okay. Thank you.
[2:46:23] >> Thank you. So, it's recessed at 11:35.
[3:09:36] Let's resume the uh open session from
[3:09:39] recess. call to order this uh uh open
[3:09:43] session at 11:58 a.m.
[3:09:49] We have streets and drainage
[3:09:51] improvements capital projects.
[3:09:57] Mr. Anderson,
[3:09:58] >> thank you, Mayor.
[3:10:01] » thank you, Mayor.
[3:10:01] Um everybody has the big list
[3:10:04] front of them.
[3:10:06] Uh project one is the uh Blue Mountain
[3:10:10] Road and 156 intersection improvements
[3:10:14] project. This is the uh we presented
[3:10:18] this back in June, I believe. And we
[3:10:21] presented a a schedule for this project.
[3:10:24] Um, basically showing this is a more or
[3:10:27] less a three-year project by the time
[3:10:30] all the design, rightway acquisition,
[3:10:32] utility relocation, and construction is
[3:10:35] is sorted out. So, we're recommending
[3:10:38] that 450 plus 525 for to total uh what
[3:10:43] is that 975
[3:10:45] be budgeted this fiscal year uh for
[3:10:49] design permitting [clears throat] and um
[3:10:53] uh rightway acquisition for the project
[3:10:56] and that's to keep it in general uh
[3:10:59] conformance to the the schedule that we
[3:11:02] presented back in June. Uh if you
[3:11:04] recall, this is a basically a $5 million
[3:11:07] project. There are um there is a portion
[3:11:10] of this that we expect funding from the
[3:11:13] uh lapel development in Fort Worth. We
[3:11:16] haven't uh gone through and um figured
[3:11:19] out exactly what percentage of this uh
[3:11:22] total project cost they would be
[3:11:24] responsible for under the terms of the
[3:11:26] agreement. But um I suspect it's
[3:11:29] somewhere in the neighborhood of uh 10
[3:11:31] to 20% just depending on the um ultimate
[3:11:36] costs and how we get this thing
[3:11:37] implemented. They were they were
[3:11:40] responsible for a turn lane, a 100 foot
[3:11:42] turn lane. And if you recall, we had 400
[3:11:44] foot long turn lanes and multiple
[3:11:47] multiple iterations of those. And so,
[3:11:51] um, this project is is, um, is important
[3:11:55] and there's quite a bit of leg work to
[3:11:57] do before we can get to construction.
[3:11:59] >> So, just to [clears throat] this would
[3:12:01] » So, just to [clears throat] this would
[3:12:01] be on our [snorts] capital outlay. This

[3:12:54] tentatively and rushed, but we said we
[3:12:56] all we all had questions for Mike and
[3:12:58] wanted to come back to this.

[3:14:54] >> Thanks, Mike. Please continue.
[3:14:55] » Thanks, Mike. Please continue.
[3:14:55] >> Absolutely. Absolutely. So everybody's
[3:14:58] » Absolutely. Absolutely. So everybody's
[3:14:58] good with project one 156 Blue Mountain.
[3:15:02] Okay. So we we've estimated the rideway
[3:15:06] needs. We've estimated the value of the
[3:15:09] rideway based on what we've seen for
[3:15:13] transactions in this area as a cost per
[3:15:15] square foot. We anticipate that during
[3:15:18] the rideway acquisition process,
[3:15:20] appraisals will be needed. We'll have to
[3:15:23] go through the formal process of
[3:15:24] acquiring rightaway. So, this is a this
[3:15:27] is a healthy budget to get started on
[3:15:29] the project. We'd like to be
[3:15:31] conservative in our numbers. Um, and
[3:15:33] that same can be said with that second
[3:15:35] project as well, Bluemount at John Day
[3:15:37] Road. I think there's over $800,000 in
[3:15:41] that particular project for rideaway in
[3:15:43] and of itself. So, um, was there any
[3:15:46] questions on the Blue Mountain John Day
[3:15:48] road similar setup? The developer, LRIL,
[3:15:52] is responsible under the terms of our
[3:15:54] development agreement for construction
[3:15:55] of the traffic signal itself and a turn
[3:15:59] lane at John Day Road.
[3:16:00] >> And that's a 1.425.
[3:16:02] » And that's a 1.425.
[3:16:02] >> Yes, ma'am.
[3:16:03] » Yes, ma'am.
[3:16:03] >> The only question I have um
[3:16:04] » The only question I have um
[3:16:04] >> Yes, sir.
[3:16:05] » Yes, sir.
[3:16:05] >> Mr. Anderson, is is there
[3:16:08] » Mr. Anderson, is is there
[3:16:08] [clears throat] any way we can before we
[3:16:11] can widen the road because that's going
[3:16:12] to take a couple years. Is there any way
[3:16:14] we can make that intersection a light
[3:16:16] like right now? Because
[3:16:20] just to get off of John Day onto Blue
[3:16:22] Mound going east is almost impossible in
[3:16:25] the evenings. Um, so if you could if we
[3:16:28] could make that a light like a lot
[3:16:31] quicker, even if we put up temporary
[3:16:34] poles just to get a a light put on
[3:16:36] there, that would be incredibly helpful
[3:16:38] until we get the road widened.
[3:16:40] >> I can answer that question. That is all
[3:16:43] » I can answer that question. That is all
[3:16:43] dependent upon Tarant County. Uh I know
[3:16:46] that uh engineering myself and David
[3:16:49] Rogers has been working with Tarant
[3:16:52] County for probably two years on that
[3:16:55] intersection.
[3:16:56] They control it. Everything from the
[3:16:59] railroad tracks going west almost all
[3:17:01] the way to 287 is a county road. Uh we
[3:17:06] have given them information, traffic
[3:17:09] counts. We've had him come out here time
[3:17:12] and time again, multiple times, very
[3:17:15] specifically. I think the last meeting
[3:17:17] that we had was maybe three months ago
[3:17:20] in your office with precinct three to
[3:17:25] look at this and they took it all back
[3:17:27] and said, "Okay, here's what we need the
[3:17:29] county to do. We're prepared to do this
[3:17:32] piece on the city of Hasset Road, which
[3:17:34] is John Day Road." And
[3:17:40] We have not had any movement. It is um
[3:17:46] I don't know why they understand the
[3:17:48] problem. They understand the issue. It's
[3:17:51] probably a matter of money. It might be
[3:17:54] a prioritization on the county's part.
[3:17:57] Well, we're spending money on Bond Ranch
[3:18:00] Road and or over here and over here and
[3:18:04] this is not on their radar yet. They do
[3:18:07] understand. We have been uh I'll say at
[3:18:10] times aggressive in our communication
[3:18:12] with them to let them know this is a
[3:18:15] persistent problem and uh we need the
[3:18:19] county's help. This is a regional issue.
[3:18:22] This is not generated by Hasset
[3:18:25] residents.
[3:18:26] This is a regional issue. And so
[3:18:30] [clears throat]
[3:18:31] it is all in the county's court to put
[3:18:34] that intersection light up there. even
[3:18:36] if we were to pay for it, it's still on
[3:18:40] their side to do the
[3:18:43] improvement,
[3:18:45] authorize it. There's an issue with we
[3:18:48] have even gone to the extent to
[3:18:52] um
[3:18:54] let let Hasset annex
[3:18:57] Blue Mound Road from the railroad tracks
[3:19:00] to John Day Road to the west side of
[3:19:03] John Day Road. And we will do that work.
[3:19:07] We will plan it.
[3:19:10] And no, sorry.
[3:19:13] >> There's there are legal issues related
[3:19:16] » There's there are legal issues related
[3:19:16] with it in how the right of way for uh
[3:19:20] Blue Mountain Road was um
[3:19:24] let
[3:19:26] um there's not is what do you call it?
[3:19:29] Prescriptive right of way. It does not
[3:19:32] give the county outright ownership.
[3:19:36] >> So, who owns it?
[3:19:38] » So, who owns it?
[3:19:38] >> That's the le [clears throat]
[3:19:40] » That's the le [clears throat]
[3:19:40] who does.
[3:19:41] >> Pardon?
[3:19:42] » Pardon?
[3:19:42] >> If they don't have outright ownership,
[3:19:43] » If they don't have outright ownership,
[3:19:43] who does?
[3:19:44] >> The property owners,
[3:19:47] » The property owners,
[3:19:47] >> the houses that back up right there or
[3:19:49] » the houses that back up right there or
[3:19:49] that whole neighborhood? the pro, you
[3:19:51] know, such as, you know, the uh 97 acres
[3:19:55] along the east side of John Day Road in
[3:19:58] Blue Mound right there. That 97 acres,
[3:20:01] that property owner owns to the center
[3:20:03] line.
[3:20:05] >> So, it's not the homeowners. Now, the
[3:20:08] » So, it's not the homeowners. Now, the
[3:20:08] homeowners on the west side, which would
[3:20:10] be Fort Worth,
[3:20:13] city of Fort Worth, they uh may I we
[3:20:18] have not investigated that
[3:20:22] » pull up an exhibit real quick.
[3:20:27] the big button.
[3:20:31] » So here's
[3:20:33] everybody can see it. You see we drew in
[3:20:35] the actual lots in the rideway. So
[3:20:38] licated
[3:20:40] rideway public rideway their property.
[3:20:43] So that way
[3:20:46] is clear.
[3:20:48] The rideway on the south side from Lond.
[3:21:08] » Yeah.
[3:21:08] >> So, and they also
[3:21:11] » So, and they also
[3:21:11] >> I'll buy him a nice steak dinner.
[3:21:14] » I'll buy him a nice steak dinner.
[3:21:14] >> I think I understand what you're asking.
[3:21:16] » I think I understand what you're asking.
[3:21:16] The mayor did a good job of summarizing
[3:21:18] the work to date. provided with study
[3:21:21] saying that you know we like to see a
[3:21:24] minimum stop sign put up here but we
[3:21:27] could we have the ability to do the
[3:21:29] necessary warranty proies
[3:21:34] from the adjacent developments and we've
[3:21:36] got somebody that may try to implement
[3:21:42] using the funds that were in hand
[3:21:47] we just need to go through and get the
[3:21:48] design so that light configuration could
[3:21:51] work with the planned improvements here.
[3:21:54] That's all complicated by the bridge.
[3:21:58] >> That's all complicated with the bridge
[3:22:00] » That's all complicated with the bridge
[3:22:00] that's coming in that was just applied
[3:22:02] for by Taran County and BNSF last fall,
[3:22:04] too. So, this is a kind of a convoluted
[3:22:08] intersection, but
[3:22:09] >> is coming in.
[3:22:11] » is coming in.
[3:22:11] >> Well, I said was applied for funding. I
[3:22:13] » Well, I said was applied for funding. I
[3:22:14] shouldn't shouldn't have said that.
[3:22:15] Thank you.
[3:22:15] >> Well, my my steak dinner joke is is just
[3:22:18] » Well, my my steak dinner joke is is just
[3:22:18] a joke as well. Well, I don't actually
[3:22:19] mean to be offering anything, but
[3:22:21] [clears throat] we're just trying to
[3:22:22] figure out like to begin with, none of
[3:22:25] the road work stuff was in this budget,
[3:22:28] and we have never seen
[3:22:30] this 10-year [clears throat] plan until
[3:22:32] very recently that has been in existence
[3:22:34] for a long time. So, we're trying to
[3:22:37] play catch-up as a council a little bit
[3:22:39] because we've been in the dark and not
[3:22:41] have the information that we need. So,
[3:22:44] what is the fastest way we can get this
[3:22:47] moving and the the next project that
[3:22:50] we're about to talk about as well?
[3:22:52] What's the fastest way we can get at
[3:22:54] least lights there, if not the expansion
[3:22:56] done, what's the next what we need? We
[3:22:58] need step 1 2 3 4 5. That's what we
[3:22:59] need.
[3:23:00] >> So,
[3:23:00] » So,
[3:23:00] >> even if it's not right this minute, I'm
[3:23:02] » even if it's not right this minute, I'm

[3:23:16] >> well, I get the year parts, but what we
[3:23:18] » well, I get the year parts, but what we
[3:23:18] need to know like which conversation we
[3:23:20] need to have next. You know what I mean?
[3:23:21] >> Yes, sir. No, I understand.
[3:23:22] » Yes, sir. No, I understand.
[3:23:22] >> We need to go very basic one by one.

[3:23:24] >> I understand. So, if we could if we
[3:23:25] » I understand. So, if we could if we
[3:23:26] could get this funded for design and
[3:23:29] agreement uh
[3:23:32] preparation and ratification. There's
[3:23:34] the whole transfer of uh or coordination
[3:23:37] with the county that the mayor spoke to.
[3:23:39] So there's county coordination necessary
[3:23:42] >> and the county who are we dealing with
[3:23:43] » and the county who are we dealing with
[3:23:43] the county Manny directly or is it

[3:24:17] that a four-way stop at minimum. We'll
[3:24:21] pay for the stop signs. We'll pay for
[3:24:23] the installation of it. Just give us
[3:24:25] permission to do it. and the county

[3:24:35] more of a problem.

[3:25:16] many months ago.
[3:25:18] >> Can we not reach back up? That was many
[3:25:19] » Can we not reach back up? That was many
[3:25:20] months ago. I mean, why are we not
[3:25:22] reaching out to them again? Oh, well I
[3:25:24] can, but we have uh we we are continuing
[3:25:28] reaching out
[3:25:30] and getting this in the different
[3:25:32] department hands. So, we have it in two
[3:25:35] county commissioners hands. We have it
[3:25:37] in the uh county engineers hands and we
[3:25:42] have it uh [clears throat]
[3:25:49] there was a fourth party
[3:25:52] I don't recall. Oh actually the the
[3:25:56] precinct three crew
[3:26:00] » and the city of forward. Yes.
[3:26:05] So, uh it's not it's not uh due to a
[3:26:08] lack of effort.
[3:26:11] Um so we um maybe
[3:26:16] uh now if the city of Hasslet were to
[3:26:19] say we'll pay for every bit of that and
[3:26:23] Mr. landowner we'll buy that right away
[3:26:25] from you
[3:26:27] etc etc. Of course that would enhance
[3:26:29] his property.
[3:26:31] uh then they might say yes.
[3:26:37] It generally all boils down to money.
[3:26:41] Well, we did ask the county that they do
[3:26:43] the improvements on Blue Mountain Road.
[3:26:49] » Um
[3:26:51] Mr. Anderson, [clears throat]
[3:26:55] >> the um
[3:26:57] » the um
[3:26:57] last last week we moved over um $1.3
[3:27:01] million I think it was
[3:27:04] um for the
[3:27:06] uh Blue Mound 156 and then the uh Blue
[3:27:10] Mound and John Day. Do you think that's
[3:27:13] going to be adequate? Do we need more
[3:27:14] money to get those two projects kind of
[3:27:16] started and off the ground? because I
[3:27:19] know we we could have started this a
[3:27:21] couple years ago, but now we're kind of
[3:27:23] backtracking, but is that going to be
[3:27:24] enough money 1.3 to get both of those
[3:27:27] going? Shows we have 975 for Blue
[3:27:31] Mountain Intersection and 335 for John
[3:27:33] Day. Do we need to allocate more money
[3:27:35] so we can move ahead?
[3:27:38] >> Well, I think uh we've got a total of uh
[3:27:42] » Well, I think uh we've got a total of uh
[3:27:42] my math's right here, 2.3 between the
[3:27:44] two projects roughly. And so your ask
[3:27:47] is, is 1.3 enough to get started?
[3:27:51] >> Well, I got 1.3 from on this uh 975 and
[3:27:55] » Well, I got 1.3 from on this uh 975 and
[3:27:55] 335,
[3:27:56] >> but
[3:27:58] » but
[3:27:58] >> um
[3:27:59] » um
[3:27:59] >> Oh, well, the 975 and 335. Okay.
[3:28:03] » Oh, well, the 975 and 335. Okay.
[3:28:04] >> I I'm just so we're on the same page. Uh
[3:28:07] » I I'm just so we're on the same page. Uh
[3:28:07] it's $925,000
[3:28:10] for this fiscal year
[3:28:12] >> for the uh Blue Mountain Road FM 156
[3:28:16] » for the uh Blue Mountain Road FM 156
[3:28:16] work.
[3:28:17] >> 975
[3:28:18] » 975
[3:28:18] >> 975
[3:28:19] » 975
[3:28:19] >> correct.
[3:28:20] » correct.
[3:28:20] >> All right. Now we have now on Mr.
[3:28:24] » All right. Now we have now on Mr.
[3:28:24] Anderson's worksheet here for Blue
[3:28:27] Mountain Road and John Day Road, he has
[3:28:30] 1,425,000.
[3:28:33] >> Correct. We have budgeted 335,000.
[3:28:36] » Correct. We have budgeted 335,000.
[3:28:36] >> Right above the Blue Mountain Road 975
[3:28:38] » Right above the Blue Mountain Road 975
[3:28:38] says 1.425
[3:28:39] >> Blue Mail. Okay. There's two. What's the
[3:28:42] » Blue Mail. Okay. There's two. What's the
[3:28:42] difference?
[3:28:42] >> One's a schematic design and one is the
[3:28:44] » One's a schematic design and one is the
[3:28:44] intersection improvement
[3:28:45] >> designed Blue Mail Road
[3:28:46] » designed Blue Mail Road
[3:28:46] >> and the 335 of the schematic design is
[3:28:48] » and the 335 of the schematic design is
[3:28:48] what we're hoping to to get from the
[3:28:51] escrow, but if not, we have it budgeted
[3:28:53] in case we need to use it.
[3:28:56] >> This was all last last Saturday. Um
[3:28:58] » This was all last last Saturday. Um
[3:28:58] Chris
[3:28:58] >> Mayor
[3:29:00] » Mayor
[3:29:00] >> Mayor, I'm over here. Sorry. Um, can I
[3:29:03] » Mayor, I'm over here. Sorry. Um, can I
[3:29:03] suggest that on this general fund
[3:29:05] capital outlay, we actually make a
[3:29:07] notation to the project names? So like,
[3:29:11] um,
[3:29:12] design Bluebound Road West at John Day
[3:29:14] intersection. If we could put SD2 right
[3:29:16] next to it.
[3:29:18] >> Oh, okay. Are you perfect? Thank you.
[3:29:24] » And I've got a column that correlates
[3:29:25] back to Miss Marcy's once the project
[3:29:27] number gets established. Okay.
[3:29:30] [clears throat]
[3:29:30] >> What else?
[3:29:34] Okay. So, so Blound Road at John Day
[3:29:37] Road, Blue Mound Road at FM 156, those
[3:29:41] are projects SD1 and SD2. It sounds like
[3:29:44] everybody wants to move forward with
[3:29:45] those two projects this next next fiscal
[3:29:47] year.
[3:29:48] >> Yes,
[3:29:48] » Yes,
[3:29:48] >> Mr. Kathers, what I can do is as we give
[3:29:52] » Mr. Kathers, what I can do is as we give
[3:29:52] me the next few weeks, I could put
[3:29:54] together a little action plan or
[3:29:55] recommended steps because there's a lot
[3:29:57] of moving parts with both of these
[3:29:59] projects. maybe make a list of all the
[3:30:01] things associated with each one and we
[3:30:04] can have that as a presentation and an
[3:30:06] update.
[3:30:07] >> I mean, also if we even need to go as
[3:30:09] » I mean, also if we even need to go as
[3:30:09] far as getting parents to email the
[3:30:11] county commissioner, you know, I mean,
[3:30:13] because parents are screaming, "Please,
[3:30:16] please, please help us with this road
[3:30:18] every day." And it's school starts what,
[3:30:20] in 4 days, you're going to hear a whole
[3:30:23] I mean, not you,
[3:30:24] >> but all of us are going to hear a whole
[3:30:25] » but all of us are going to hear a whole
[3:30:25] lot Yeah. a lot of complaints because
[3:30:27] all of a sudden the traffic's going to
[3:30:28] get a hundred times worse when everyone
[3:30:30] starts going back to school again.
[3:30:32] [clears throat] So, if we need to get
[3:30:34] people to, you know, at least [snorts]
[3:30:38] put their input publicly to get
[3:30:41] residents and parents and school and
[3:30:44] whoever to, you know, try to help build
[3:30:47] a case for this,
[3:30:48] >> then we need to know that, too, because
[3:30:50] » then we need to know that, too, because
[3:30:50] we want to do it in an appropriate way,
[3:30:52] not in a let's yell and scream and throw
[3:30:54] rocks way. You know what I mean?
[3:30:55] >> Yes, sir. So
[3:30:56] » Yes, sir. So
[3:30:56] >> let me say well that that will be a
[3:30:59] » let me say well that that will be a
[3:30:59] council action a a a community
[3:31:04] uh activation towards that has
[3:31:07] engineering has no play in that
[3:31:11] >> but but if we don't have willingness on
[3:31:13] » but but if we don't have willingness on
[3:31:13] all sides of this conversation we need
[3:31:15] to raise our case a little bit.
[3:31:17] >> Yeah I don't no one's going to come in
[3:31:19] » Yeah I don't no one's going to come in
[3:31:19] no one's going to come engineer this
[3:31:21] project no one's going to come in and
[3:31:22] start the rideway acquisition project. I
[3:31:24] think we will be able to identify some
[3:31:27] funding partners for the construction of
[3:31:28] it. The mayor's already spoke to the
[3:31:31] discussion that is ongoing about county
[3:31:34] forces possibly constructing some of
[3:31:37] both of these projects, but the the
[3:31:39] heavy lifting on the front end is going
[3:31:41] to have to be done now. We've we've had
[3:31:43] these concepts, you know, put together
[3:31:45] for oh, probably a year, but there there
[3:31:48] was other than this concept plan, there
[3:31:50] was no money behind it to actually get
[3:31:52] the detailed work [clears throat] done
[3:31:54] and start through that process because
[3:31:56] once all that gets done, and we have
[3:31:58] probably five or six agreements per
[3:32:01] intersection, then we have to go move
[3:32:03] all these utilities. And so it's going
[3:32:04] to be a it will be a heavy two-year
[3:32:08] project uh on the soft cost side of
[3:32:10] things to get really minimal
[3:32:12] improvements built. But I I do
[3:32:14] understand what you're saying. And let
[3:32:16] me go back and see if there's a way cuz
[3:32:18] u one of the things that I know was
[3:32:21] important at John Day Road in 156 and
[3:32:24] probably still is is the the inability
[3:32:27] for folks to get out onto Blue Mountain
[3:32:29] Road. Yes. And so to your point about
[3:32:33] trying to get some interim relief there,
[3:32:35] let me see if I can go figure out a way
[3:32:37] to, you know, the lapel folks are on the
[3:32:40] hook for that signal 100%. That's what's
[3:32:43] in the agreement. So there's no cost
[3:32:44] share deep divvying up of those
[3:32:47] improvements. Does that make sense? The
[3:32:49] the turn lanes and everything, those are
[3:32:51] all we got to sort through those. But
[3:32:54] maybe there's a way we can look at
[3:32:56] trying to accelerate the signal
[3:32:58] improvements through the funding by
[3:33:00] lapel while we sort through all these
[3:33:02] other things. Does that make sense?
[3:33:04] >> Yeah. I mean, just this last week, I
[3:33:06] » Yeah. I mean, just this last week, I
[3:33:06] mean, I had to go to a parent meeting,
[3:33:08] what was it, Thursday night, and it was
[3:33:10] just for athletics.
[3:33:11] >> And when that meeting got got out,
[3:33:13] » And when that meeting got got out,
[3:33:14] >> John Day was backed up from Blue Mound
[3:33:15] » John Day was backed up from Blue Mound
[3:33:15] all the way back to Lera, just for that
[3:33:18] one meeting.
[3:33:19] >> That's not even a third of the school.
[3:33:21] » That's not even a third of the school.
[3:33:21] >> And that's only the middle school. I
[3:33:22] » And that's only the middle school. I
[3:33:22] don't even count the elementary school.
[3:33:24] >> And I want to clarify as well. So the ll
[3:33:26] » And I want to clarify as well. So the ll
[3:33:26] agreement is is back. It's in effect.
[3:33:29] Everything's fine with that.
[3:33:31] >> Yes, ma'am.
[3:33:31] » Yes, ma'am.
[3:33:31] >> Okay.
[3:33:32] » Okay.
[3:33:32] >> That was an agreement between the city
[3:33:34] » That was an agreement between the city
[3:33:34] of
[3:33:34] >> what it was. I know what happened to it.
[3:33:36] » what it was. I know what happened to it.
[3:33:36] And I know so it's it's everything's
[3:33:38] good again with lapel agreement.
[3:33:40] >> Correct. Yes, ma'am.
[3:33:41] » Correct. Yes, ma'am.
[3:33:41] >> Okay.
[3:33:41] » Okay.
[3:33:41] >> Now you're there was the original lapel
[3:33:44] » Now you're there was the original lapel
[3:33:44] agreement. This this the the agreement
[3:33:46] that I'm speaking of is the one with
[3:33:48] Trioint Homes, the current homebuilder
[3:33:51] developer. So, not the original.
[3:33:52] >> Not the original one. So, I misspoke
[3:33:54] » Not the original one. So, I misspoke
[3:33:54] there. I'm sorry.
[3:33:54] >> Okay. Thank you.
[3:33:56] » Okay. Thank you.
[3:33:56] >> The original one is not back on the
[3:33:57] » The original one is not back on the
[3:33:57] table.
[3:33:58] >> Okay. Thank you.
[3:34:00] » Okay. Thank you.
[3:34:00] >> Uh I want to uh it doesn't solve any
[3:34:03] » Uh I want to uh it doesn't solve any
[3:34:03] long range problems, but uh Tarant
[3:34:06] County Sheriff's Department is going to
[3:34:07] have deputies at these intersections
[3:34:09] here and on the other end at Jonte Road
[3:34:13] and Abidel Hasset Road for the first
[3:34:16] week of school just to help.
[3:34:18] >> Are they going to direct traffic?
[3:34:19] » Are they going to direct traffic?
[3:34:19] >> Yes.
[3:34:20] » Yes.
[3:34:20] >> That would be amazing. the high school
[3:34:21] » That would be amazing. the high school
[3:34:21] too the first week of school.
[3:34:23] >> I know they didn't at other places, but
[3:34:25] » I know they didn't at other places, but
[3:34:25] they do.
[3:34:25] >> But they're going to do it here on both
[3:34:27] » But they're going to do it here on both
[3:34:27] ends of John Day Road.
[3:34:28] >> That'd be amazing. Thank you.
[3:34:33] » All right, moving on.
[3:34:35] >> Yes, sir.
[3:34:35] » Yes, sir.

[3:34:48] John Day Road, right? Yes, sir.
[3:34:50] >> Okay.
[3:34:52] » Okay.
[3:34:52] I would like to uh skip project S3 and
[3:34:56] talk about project S4 just real quick
[3:34:59] since we're talking Blue Mountain Road.
[3:35:00] Okay.
[3:35:01] >> Um we had put together a
[3:35:05] » Um we had put together a
[3:35:05] scope of work to get the Blue Mountain
[3:35:07] Road 100% schematic done from one end to
[3:35:10] the other. Uh that 335
[3:35:14] we had anticipated being able to use
[3:35:16] those escrow funds. That's obviously at
[3:35:20] this point been determined not to be um
[3:35:22] a viable option for funding, but if
[3:35:25] you'd like to move forward with that,
[3:35:27] that's needs to be in here somewhere.
[3:35:30] But it sounds like that was handled.
[3:35:32] Okay.
[3:35:33] >> Okay. So, I've got that one marked.
[3:35:35] » Okay. So, I've got that one marked.

[3:35:45] » For [clears throat] the for the large
[3:35:45] ultimate project.
[3:35:46] >> Okay. You got 1.4 million there so that

[3:36:41] the SD12 and four which we did talk
[3:36:44] about last Saturday and had put back in
[3:36:46] the budget. There was a design for Blue
[3:36:49] Mountain Road at 1.425,
[3:36:52] the Blue Mountain Road intersection
[3:36:53] design at 975 and then the schematic at
[3:36:56] 335. So SD1, SD2, and SD4
[3:37:00] >> have been discussed.
[3:37:02] » have been discussed.
[3:37:02] >> Oh no. Bye bye.
[3:37:07] » And I'm sorry just to clarify. So SD

[3:37:28] » I've got an exhibit up here to see if we
[3:37:28] can walk through Interotal Parkway real
[3:37:31] quick.
[3:37:31] >> Thank you. So what we've got here and I
[3:37:34] » Thank you. So what we've got here and I
[3:37:34] I can't remember if I've shared this
[3:37:36] exhibit with you or not, but what we
[3:37:37] have is a inter modal parkway from
[3:37:40] Hasset Parkway clear down to Blue
[3:37:42] Mountain Road. And my understanding of
[3:37:44] the project as it exists today is that
[3:37:48] we've got currently funded in this
[3:37:50] budget that we're in right now $1.1
[3:37:52] million
[3:37:54] for the fourth leg of the traffic signal
[3:37:57] and then the design and construction of
[3:38:00] this yellow pavement.
[3:38:02] >> I don't see that in here.
[3:38:03] » I don't see that in here.
[3:38:03] >> The western the western concrete

[3:38:06] >> is it in here?

[3:38:07] >> It's in here and it's 1.135 because you
[3:38:09] » It's in here and it's 1.135 because you
[3:38:09] asked for an extra 35. So we have that
[3:38:11] fully funded. Do you see that?
[3:38:13] >> It's um right under street improvements
[3:38:15] » It's um right under street improvements
[3:38:15] first
[3:38:17] number.
[3:38:19] Do you see it? We did 1.1
[3:38:21] >> 35,000.
[3:38:22] » 35,000.
[3:38:22] >> We're carry for and we're carrying over
[3:38:25] » We're carry for and we're carrying over
[3:38:25] the one. Got it.
[3:38:26] >> Thank you.
[3:38:29] » Yes, ma'am. Got it.
[3:38:30] >> Okay. Thank you.
[3:38:33] » Okay. Thank you.
[3:38:33] >> Okay. And can you clarify? Is this phase
[3:38:36] » Okay. And can you clarify? Is this phase
[3:38:36] two? I know I called it phase one, which
[3:38:38] is where I think we got in the
[3:38:39] confusion.
[3:38:40] >> Go ahead. We're going to I think there's
[3:38:42] » Go ahead. We're going to I think there's
[3:38:42] Let me let me walk you through a couple
[3:38:44] and there's only there's certain things
[3:38:45] I'm going to need to tell you at the
[3:38:47] next council meeting. Okay.
[3:38:48] >> As it relates to rideway,
[3:38:51] » As it relates to rideway,
[3:38:51] >> um this project right now in yellow is
[3:38:54] » um this project right now in yellow is
[3:38:54] under design. We'll bring you plans for
[3:38:56] presentation 60% plans. At the council
[3:38:59] meeting, we're also going to bring you
[3:39:00] back an update on the rightway.
[3:39:02] >> Okay. Now, the reason there there's
[3:39:05] » Okay. Now, the reason there there's
[3:39:05] >> rightway of the yellow or rightway of
[3:39:06] » rightway of the yellow or rightway of
[3:39:06] all
[3:39:07] >> um right away for yellow.
[3:39:09] » um right away for yellow.
[3:39:09] >> Okay. Okay. Um the reason that um
[3:39:14] » Okay. Okay. Um the reason that um
[3:39:14] so so right now we got phase one in
[3:39:16] yellow and then phase two naturally
[3:39:19] would be some sort of continuation of
[3:39:22] the project down to Blue Mountain Road.
[3:39:24] Okay. Now what we may need to discuss or
[3:39:28] what we will discuss with you would be
[3:39:31] um if there are rightway acquisition
[3:39:36] um delays or uh we're not able to
[3:39:39] acquire rightaway there is a solution
[3:39:45] and I'm going to do this the best I can.
[3:39:48] I'm not real good at drawing stuff but
[3:39:50] where my red box is that's the right way
[3:39:52] we need. Okay. If for whatever reason
[3:39:55] that rightaway can't be obtained in a in
[3:39:58] a manner that you guys are okay with, we
[3:40:01] looked at the possibility of doing a
[3:40:04] project where we could basically add
[3:40:06] here's the existing configuration of the
[3:40:09] ultimate section. These two lanes here
[3:40:11] represent the 26 ft lanes that are
[3:40:14] currently constructed in front of
[3:40:15] stream. Then you've got a large median
[3:40:17] and what we were proposing to build this
[3:40:19] next year were these westbound lanes.
[3:40:22] Everybody visualize that?
[3:40:23] >> Yes. If for whatever reason that rideway
[3:40:26] » Yes. If for whatever reason that rideway
[3:40:26] cannot be attained in a schedule or in a
[3:40:28] timeline that the town or the city is
[3:40:30] happy with, we looked at the possibility
[3:40:33] of trying to construct a third lane in
[3:40:36] the existing rideway to facilitate a
[3:40:40] connection between Hasslet Parkway and
[3:40:43] Pasque. And what we what we've come up
[3:40:45] with is we can make it fit. We would
[3:40:48] basically tie in to the pavement that
[3:40:50] was constructed um with city funds as
[3:40:54] part of the stream development agreement
[3:40:56] and then add in uh transitional pavement
[3:41:00] through this large driveway here and
[3:41:02] then you would transition back to
[3:41:04] two-way traffic and come up to a
[3:41:07] standard four-way intersection. Now,
[3:41:09] that's not ideal, but that's that's
[3:41:11] something that we need to look at and
[3:41:13] we'll discuss more with you um at the
[3:41:16] next council meeting.
[3:41:17] >> Is is this intersection a huge priority
[3:41:20] » Is is this intersection a huge priority
[3:41:20] that we can't wait until we get, you
[3:41:22] know, the the rightway? I mean, is it
[3:41:25] >> I mean, I know that we want this, but is
[3:41:27] » I mean, I know that we want this, but is
[3:41:27] it something
[3:41:27] >> I'm with you
[3:41:27] » I'm with you
[3:41:28] >> the I mean,
[3:41:28] » the I mean,
[3:41:28] >> I'm with you.
[3:41:29] » I'm with you.
[3:41:29] >> I'd rather wait until we can get the
[3:41:30] » I'd rather wait until we can get the
[3:41:30] rightway instead of try to rush it. I
[3:41:32] mean, like, if it takes another year to
[3:41:33] get the rideway, that that's it. I don't
[3:41:34] think this is an intersection, but right
[3:41:36] here is a [snorts] huge
[3:41:37] >> Well, what what this intersection, in my
[3:41:39] » Well, what what this intersection, in my
[3:41:39] opinion, what this intersection will do
[3:41:41] is take some of the pressure off of the
[3:41:42] Harmon Road has a parkway intersection
[3:41:45] because since the QT got built there and
[3:41:48] the traffic keeps growing, lots of times
[3:41:50] that light is now backing up, if you're
[3:41:52] trying to turn right out off of Harmon
[3:41:55] onto Hazit Parkway, for example. So,
[3:41:58] this will allow another option for
[3:41:59] people to get onto Hazit Parkway.
[3:42:03] And what I'm hearing is this is just a
[3:42:05] plan B if if we can't get the
[3:42:08] [clears throat] rod away and do it the
[3:42:09] way we want to do it.
[3:42:10] >> We we we are moving forward with the
[3:42:11] » We we we are moving forward with the
[3:42:11] design as as instructed for the
[3:42:14] ultimate.
[3:42:15] >> Um we will bring you 60% plans. We will
[3:42:18] » Um we will bring you 60% plans. We will
[3:42:18] also bring you some more information on
[3:42:19] the rideway and try to make sure we've
[3:42:23] got good direction on on how to proceed.
[3:42:25] I mean, we really need to put in a right
[3:42:27] turn lane at Harmon Road and has a
[3:42:29] parkway too the way the traffic's going
[3:42:31] now. But
[3:42:33] >> so question, I mean, is there a concern
[3:42:35] » so question, I mean, is there a concern
[3:42:35] on the rightway?
[3:42:36] >> Cuz you don't normally plan a plan B
[3:42:39] » Cuz you don't normally plan a plan B
[3:42:39] unless
[3:42:39] >> I think that's what we're talking about.
[3:42:41] » I think that's what we're talking about.
[3:42:41] >> Oh,
[3:42:41] » Oh,
[3:42:41] >> Monday night.
[3:42:42] » Monday night.
[3:42:42] >> Are you going to give us more
[3:42:43] » Are you going to give us more
[3:42:43] information about that? Okay. So then
[3:42:45] the next question is that M that exit
[3:42:50] point right here. That's going to be
[3:42:51] trucks. Do we really think they can make
[3:42:53] that turn in two lanes? because I don't
[3:42:54] want traffic coming down when a truck's
[3:42:57] turning. Do you see my concern?
[3:42:58] >> That's why the third lane goes past
[3:43:00] » That's why the third lane goes past
[3:43:00] that.
[3:43:00] >> I understand, but I don't think a truck
[3:43:03] » I understand, but I don't think a truck
[3:43:03] can make that turn without hitting that
[3:43:05] curb consistently. Won't it have to go
[3:43:06] into that sorry
[3:43:08] >> that lane?
[3:43:09] » that lane?
[3:43:09] >> We feel like at a minimum
[3:43:12] » We feel like at a minimum
[3:43:12] um this is what's required to
[3:43:14] facilitate.
[3:43:16] That's why we've taken this transitional
[3:43:18] pavement back through. Um this this turn
[3:43:22] lane
[3:43:23] is kind of um we didn't do a good job of
[3:43:26] showing this. This could just be a
[3:43:27] striped um center turn lane if that
[3:43:32] makes sense. I do understand the concern
[3:43:34] about truck traffic and turning and
[3:43:36] that's that that's the reason why we
[3:43:38] couldn't open up open it up as a
[3:43:40] two-lane road because those trucks are
[3:43:41] swinging too wide. So,
[3:43:43] >> just something for us to consider if we
[3:43:45] » just something for us to consider if we
[3:43:45] have to go with B preparing to make sure
[3:43:47] they can see those like incoming cars
[3:43:50] because they're fast down that road. I
[3:43:52] just see a head-on collision with a
[3:43:54] truck happening because they can't see.
[3:43:56] >> And I know at our what our one of our
[3:43:58] » And I know at our what our one of our
[3:43:58] previous council meetings, we talked
[3:43:59] about it not being and this is phase
[3:44:01] two, but or phase three, I don't know,
[3:44:03] but it not being a straight line. We had
[3:44:06] talked about adding some natural
[3:44:08] curvatures. That'll be later
[3:44:09] >> and we we we'll have that ready for
[3:44:11] » and we we we'll have that ready for
[3:44:11] discussion at the council meeting.
[3:44:13] [cough] We've got we've [clears throat]
[3:44:14] got two different options for traffic
[3:44:16] calming. We've got some roadway designs.
[3:44:21] We've also got some uh roundabouts as
[3:44:23] well. So, we'll we'll get some direction
[3:44:25] on on the phase two.
[3:44:26] >> So, the money is good. The one point the
[3:44:28] » So, the money is good. The one point the
[3:44:28] 1.1 plus the 35, that's a good amount.
[3:44:30] >> Yes, ma'am.
[3:44:31] » Yes, ma'am.
[3:44:31] >> Okay.
[3:44:33] » Okay.
[3:44:33] And I guess it really isn't like wasting
[3:44:36] the funds in building that because truly
[3:44:37] that could just be a turn lane that's
[3:44:39] useful in the future. We wouldn't tear
[3:44:41] that down, right? That's what we would
[3:44:42] we would just restripe it.
[3:44:44] >> Well, I think we were planning to build
[3:44:46] » Well, I think we were planning to build
[3:44:46] that out of uh out of hot mix. Um on the
[3:44:49] interim, we could we could look at if if
[3:44:52] we have to go with the plan B, we could
[3:44:54] look at or we could bid it both ways
[3:44:56] >> just yeah with with the trucks and the
[3:44:58] » just yeah with with the trucks and the
[3:44:58] future plans for that area and the cars.
[3:45:00] It might be beneficial if we go plan B.
[3:45:07] » We can we can do that.
[3:45:08] >> We'll we'll get there.
[3:45:09] » We'll we'll get there.
[3:45:09] >> We'll get there. I we'll bring you some
[3:45:11] » We'll get there. I we'll bring you some
[3:45:11] plans at the at the meeting. We'll have
[3:45:13] an update on the on the rideway
[3:45:15] discussion as well.
[3:45:16] >> Sounds good.
[3:45:18] » Sounds good.
[3:45:18] >> Okay. So, that's why it's phase one,
[3:45:21] » Okay. So, that's why it's phase one,
[3:45:21] phase two, phase three,
[3:45:24] phase 1 A.
[3:45:27] I'm still confused at what phase
[3:45:28] >> I messed up on my spreadsheet.
[3:45:30] » I messed up on my spreadsheet.
[3:45:30] >> Okay, so this is so it is phase
[3:45:32] » Okay, so this is so it is phase
[3:45:32] >> just say one and two for now.
[3:45:34] » just say one and two for now.
[3:45:34] >> Sorry
[3:45:36] » Sorry
[3:45:36] phase phase one is the small section.
[3:45:38] Phase two is the big section. Correct.
[3:45:40] >> Mayor, are you clear on that because you
[3:45:41] » Mayor, are you clear on that because you
[3:45:41] had some confusion?
[3:45:42] >> I need something to clarify. That's one
[3:45:43] » I need something to clarify. That's one
[3:45:44] of the things I needed to visit with you
[3:45:45] on.
[3:45:46] >> Well, can we clarify? Phase one would be
[3:45:49] » Well, can we clarify? Phase one would be
[3:45:49] the minimum to tie that intersection
[3:45:51] into the existing lanes
[3:45:54] and install a signal light.
[3:45:56] >> It's all
[3:45:57] » It's all
[3:45:57] >> that would be phase one. That would be
[3:45:59] » that would be phase one. That would be
[3:45:59] the if we have to go that route. Phase
[3:46:03] two is taking from Hassa Parkway down to
[3:46:07] Pasque. Is that correct?
[3:46:08] >> No.
[3:46:09] » No.
[3:46:09] >> No. Phase two is pass.
[3:46:10] » No. Phase two is pass.
[3:46:10] >> Tell me what phase one is.
[3:46:12] » Tell me what phase one is.
[3:46:12] >> Phase one two and phase three.
[3:46:14] » Phase one two and phase three.
[3:46:14] >> Phase one is young. Right now it's phase
[3:46:16] » Phase one is young. Right now it's phase
[3:46:16] one and phase two. What's on this
[3:46:18] exhibit? There is no phase three
[3:46:21] at this point. Now there may need to we
[3:46:23] may need to pivot depending on the
[3:46:25] rideway and look at an interim project.
[3:46:28] >> So that would be a phase 1 A.
[3:46:30] » So that would be a phase 1 A.
[3:46:30] >> Correct. That would probably be a better
[3:46:32] » Correct. That would probably be a better
[3:46:32] way.
[3:46:32] >> Phase 1 A is
[3:46:35] » Phase 1 A is
[3:46:35] we have to do this to open up and
[3:46:37] utilize the road until right away can be
[3:46:40] obtained.
[3:46:41] >> Correct.
[3:46:41] » Correct.
[3:46:41] >> Yes. And so we could and that because
[3:46:45] » Yes. And so we could and that because
[3:46:45] you have 1.135, you can do either one or
[3:46:48] 1 A. That's just going to drop itself
[3:46:50] out
[3:46:50] >> as we as we move forward. So maybe we
[3:46:53] » as we as we move forward. So maybe we
[3:46:53] label it that one 1A.
[3:46:55] >> Can we under the same?
[3:46:56] » Can we under the same?
[3:46:56] >> Okay. So Marcy, do you have that? We're
[3:46:59] » Okay. So Marcy, do you have that? We're
[3:46:59] going to label it one.
[3:47:01] >> There we go.
[3:47:03] » There we go.
[3:47:03] >> Beautiful.
[3:47:04] » Beautiful.
[3:47:04] >> And we'll we'll uh this this exhibit
[3:47:06] » And we'll we'll uh this this exhibit
[3:47:06] will get updated.
[3:47:08] >> Well, this exhibit would have to be
[3:47:09] » Well, this exhibit would have to be
[3:47:10] updated. It's not simply just labeling
[3:47:12] something one a over here.
[3:47:14] >> Yes, he he's saying he's updating it
[3:47:15] » Yes, he he's saying he's updating it
[3:47:15] >> and I'll I'll I'll bring this back.
[3:47:18] » and I'll I'll I'll bring this back.
[3:47:18] >> Good.
[3:47:21] » State three.
[3:47:22] >> Do we have the
[3:47:24] » Do we have the
[3:47:24] >> phase?
[3:47:26] » phase?
[3:47:26] >> So, you're not wanting to do anything
[3:47:27] » So, you're not wanting to do anything
[3:47:27] for phase two next year, correct? Even
[3:47:29] rideaway acquisition.
[3:47:31] >> Uh I don't know that we've I don't know
[3:47:32] » Uh I don't know that we've I don't know
[3:47:32] that we have any rideway that we need to
[3:47:34] acquire unless there's some down there
[3:47:35] at the corner.
[3:47:36] >> What did you We have it all.
[3:47:38] » What did you We have it all.
[3:47:38] It's all
[3:47:39] >> showing there.
[3:47:42] » showing there.
[3:47:42] >> So all the
[3:47:43] » So all the
[3:47:43] >> huge all the way down that was
[3:47:45] » huge all the way down that was
[3:47:45] dedicated. [clears throat]
[3:47:46] >> Yeah, there now there may need to be
[3:47:48] » Yeah, there now there may need to be
[3:47:48] some depending on what your direction is
[3:47:51] as far as the intersection treatments,
[3:47:53] >> but we can get into all that and there
[3:47:54] » but we can get into all that and there
[3:47:54] there's there's plenty of money in this
[3:47:56] budget to figure that out. We don't need
[3:47:58] any additional funds for phase two. We
[3:48:00] don't.
[3:48:01] >> Do you want us to put phase one 1A/2 in
[3:48:05] » Do you want us to put phase one 1A/2 in
[3:48:05] case you need a little?
[3:48:06] >> So Marcy's just labeling it SD3 and
[3:48:08] » So Marcy's just labeling it SD3 and
[3:48:08] that's going to clarify everything.
[3:48:10] >> There we go.
[3:48:11] » There we go.
[3:48:11] >> Beautiful.
[3:48:11] » Beautiful.
[3:48:11] >> There we go.
[3:48:13] » There we go.
[3:48:13] >> I just say they'll check project S3.

[3:48:16] >> Okay.
[3:48:16] » Okay.
[3:48:16] >> There we go.
[3:48:17] » There we go.
[3:48:17] >> And also Jasmine, in the future, if your
[3:48:18] » And also Jasmine, in the future, if your
[3:48:18] HOA decided to, they could tie into a
[3:48:22] back entrance for your neighborhood into
[3:48:23] this road, but it's not currently
[3:48:25] planned because
[3:48:28] >> there's not a connection. But there's
[3:48:29] » there's not a connection. But there's
[3:48:29] two spots right there that could connect
[3:48:30] if you wanted to.
[3:48:32] >> I'd be curious to see what the community
[3:48:33] » I'd be curious to see what the community
[3:48:33] thought.
[3:48:34] >> Your HOA would have to decide that.
[3:48:35] » Your HOA would have to decide that.
[3:48:36] >> Yeah.
[3:48:37] » Yeah.
[3:48:37] [clears throat]
[3:48:38] >> Good point.
[3:48:39] » Good point.
[3:48:40] >> Okay. So, we'll bring back this exhibit.
[3:48:42] » Okay. So, we'll bring back this exhibit.
[3:48:42] There's going to be a phase two. There's
[3:48:44] two alternatives that we're going to
[3:48:46] propose for phase two for traffic
[3:48:48] calming and then we'll bring our plans
[3:48:50] for phase one 60% design. And we'll have
[3:48:54] an update for the rideway.
[3:48:56] >> Thank you. in executive session.
[3:48:58] » Thank you. in executive session.
[3:48:58] >> Perfect.
[3:48:59] » Perfect.
[3:48:59] >> Okay.

[3:49:07] >> Um, it shows on here we don't have any
[3:49:10] » Um, it shows on here we don't have any

[3:49:13] Blue Mountains, right?
[3:49:14] >> Yep.
[3:49:15] » Yep.
[3:49:15] >> Is that correct?
[3:49:15] » Is that correct?
[3:49:15] >> That's what we just talked about. We
[3:49:16] » That's what we just talked about. We
[3:49:16] don't need it next year.
[3:49:17] >> Okay. I don't know. I I this might not
[3:49:20] » Okay. I don't know. I I this might not
[3:49:20] sound very popular decision or thought,
[3:49:22] but I feel like we have other projects
[3:49:25] that are like Blue Mound and John Day
[3:49:27] like or Blue Mound and I feel like we
[3:49:29] have other roads that are more important
[3:49:31] right now than than um Interal from past
[3:49:36] cuz that's I mean I don't know how many
[3:49:39] cars going that a day.
[3:49:41] >> It's the danger. It's that road is
[3:49:43] » It's the danger. It's that road is
[3:49:43] extreme. No, I know it's it's dangerous,
[3:49:44] but I mean like I feel like the Blue
[3:49:46] Mountains, the intersections, I feel
[3:49:48] like we need to put more time and more I
[3:49:50] feel like we need to really get those
[3:49:51] going before John before interal. Um I
[3:49:55] don't know my my mind I think that's a
[3:49:58] down the road. I know it's only a
[3:50:00] two-lane road. I know it's dangerous,
[3:50:01] but I think we need to get the uh
[3:50:04] intermodal phase one done, but I think
[3:50:06] phase two from PAS, I think that could
[3:50:08] wait a good while. I think for sure.
[3:50:10] >> Yeah, that's what's on here. We don't
[3:50:11] » Yeah, that's what's on here. We don't
[3:50:11] have anything until 2031 beyond.
[3:50:14] >> Yeah, we're not doing phase 2 right now.
[3:50:16] » Yeah, we're not doing phase 2 right now.
[3:50:16] >> Okay. Well, we talked about doing we
[3:50:17] » Okay. Well, we talked about doing we
[3:50:17] talked about doing schematics and stuff
[3:50:19] like that. So, I'm just saying I think
[3:50:20] we should even hold off on that and to
[3:50:22] get everything else. Don't even put any
[3:50:23] money in that.
[3:50:24] >> It's just what he has to do for the like
[3:50:26] » It's just what he has to do for the like
[3:50:26] overlay. He's not focusing too much on
[3:50:28] phase two. He's going to bring cost for
[3:50:30] us to plan and prepare for future. Okay.
[3:50:32] >> But my understanding is the only part of
[3:50:34] » But my understanding is the only part of
[3:50:34] phase two [clears throat] he's really
[3:50:34] touching is what he needs to plan for
[3:50:37] the future. Mike, is that correct?
[3:50:38] >> That's correct. and the the intersection
[3:50:40] » That's correct. and the the intersection
[3:50:40] at Blue Mound. We can cover the
[3:50:42] intersection design at Blue Mound, which
[3:50:44] is the um that can be covered with the
[3:50:47] schematic for Blue Mound. um that that
[3:50:50] entrance into SweetG Grass, we can we
[3:50:53] can come up with enough during the
[3:50:54] design of phase one and this work that
[3:50:57] we're going to be doing over the next
[3:50:58] couple weeks to update you to know um
[3:51:02] what if any rideway needs because that
[3:51:04] would be critical path would be get your
[3:51:06] direction on how you'd like to calm the
[3:51:09] speeds down. Pick a pick the type of
[3:51:11] design you want, go through our two
[3:51:13] recommended options, and then identify
[3:51:15] the rideway needs. And there's plenty of
[3:51:17] money in this phase one budget to take
[3:51:19] care of that.
[3:51:21] >> We are setting a trailer out next week,
[3:51:25] » We are setting a trailer out next week,
[3:51:25] speed trailers on Interotal
[3:51:28] to take traffic counts and speeds.
[3:51:31] >> Thank you.
[3:51:32] » Thank you.
[3:51:32] >> That uh [clears throat]
[3:51:36] » so that'll be information and that might
[3:51:38] be available in three or four weeks.
[3:51:41] >> I drive on that road a lot. There's
[3:51:43] » I drive on that road a lot. There's
[3:51:43] actually not a speed limit sign anywhere
[3:51:45] on that road.
[3:51:48] Well, James Tucker thinks it's Ottabon.
[3:51:53] >> So, [clears throat] I I assume it's 35
[3:51:55] » So, [clears throat] I I assume it's 35
[3:51:55] because that's, you know, that's what
[3:51:57] they say.
[3:51:57] >> All Urban Street is 30 actually. Is it's
[3:52:01] » All Urban Street is 30 actually. Is it's
[3:52:01] just residential. Uh that's just state
[3:52:03] law,
[3:52:04] >> but that's not a res.
[3:52:05] » but that's not a res.
[3:52:05] >> You're right about that. It's just uh
[3:52:07] » You're right about that. It's just uh
[3:52:07] you might make a note of that.
[3:52:09] >> There's not a single speed limit sign on
[3:52:11] » There's not a single speed limit sign on
[3:52:11] that road.
[3:52:13] >> Yeah.
[3:52:13] » Yeah.
[3:52:13] >> 75,
[3:52:14] » 75,
[3:52:14] >> right? No, they go 90. I'm telling you.
[3:52:17] » right? No, they go 90. I'm telling you.
[3:52:17] >> From from Blue Mound to over to Hazard
[3:52:18] » From from Blue Mound to over to Hazard
[3:52:18] Parkway on Inner Motoral right there,
[3:52:20] there's not a single speed limit sign.
[3:52:23] >> And it's not and it's not a residential
[3:52:24] » And it's not and it's not a residential
[3:52:24] road. It's a major road,
[3:52:27] >> arterial, whatever you want to call it.
[3:52:28] » arterial, whatever you want to call it.
[3:52:28] So, it shouldn't be 30.
[3:52:30] >> What What would you like for it to be?
[3:52:31] » What What would you like for it to be?
[3:52:31] >> 90.
[3:52:33] » 90.
[3:52:33] >> No, I I always assume it's 35 and I
[3:52:36] » No, I I always assume it's 35 and I
[3:52:36] assume I drive. No one goes 35.
[3:52:38] >> Nobody. But
[3:52:41] » Nobody. But
[3:52:41] >> I go 36.
[3:52:45] What's next?
[3:52:46] >> ST.
[3:52:47] » ST.
[3:52:47] >> Everyone good with one, two, three, and
[3:52:49] » Everyone good with one, two, three, and
[3:52:49] four? We're moving on to
[3:52:51] >> I just had one question from when I was
[3:52:52] » I just had one question from when I was
[3:52:52] nurse or sorry um the [laughter]
[3:52:56] >> sorry the the rightway acquisition for
[3:53:00] » sorry the the rightway acquisition for
[3:53:00] um John Day who's doing that?
[3:53:07] » Who's physically going to do that?
[3:53:08] >> Who's working on those conversations?
[3:53:10] » Who's working on those conversations?
[3:53:10] Um,
[3:53:11] >> with regard to what portion of John Day
[3:53:14] » with regard to what portion of John Day
[3:53:14] Road,
[3:53:15] >> the south, the one that we're working
[3:53:16] » the south, the one that we're working
[3:53:16] >> talking about John Day Road, any um the
[3:53:20] » talking about John Day Road, any um the
[3:53:20] right away, the north south aspect of
[3:53:22] it. You're not talking about anything on
[3:53:24] Blue Road, are you?
[3:53:25] >> Correct. I'm talking about
[3:53:27] » Correct. I'm talking about
[3:53:27] >> all of south of John Day.
[3:53:31] » Oh, I guess that's SD5. I can wait.
[3:53:34] >> You can wait. That's where we're about
[3:53:35] » You can wait. That's where we're about
[3:53:35] to go. So, that's a good
[3:53:37] >> I misread. I'm sorry. That's a good
[3:53:38] » I misread. I'm sorry. That's a good
[3:53:38] segue into SD5.
[3:53:40] >> Perfect.
[3:53:41] » Perfect.
[3:53:41] >> So, John Day Road, um,
[3:53:45] » So, John Day Road, um,
[3:53:45] this is the southern portion that's
[3:53:47] built currently as a two-lane black top
[3:53:50] road. We put this rough concept together
[3:53:54] a couple of years ago when we were
[3:53:57] trying to coordinate and plan the
[3:53:59] entrances into the Lrrell property.
[3:54:02] And so, um,
[3:54:06] one of the things that that we were
[3:54:09] asked to look at a couple of months ago
[3:54:12] was, um, what can we do to get going on
[3:54:15] the design indoor rideway acquisition
[3:54:18] for John Day Road? This piece of John
[3:54:20] Day Road. Um,
[3:54:22] >> are you telling me that LRL is going to
[3:54:23] » are you telling me that LRL is going to
[3:54:23] have two exits from their neighborhood
[3:54:25] onto that road?
[3:54:26] >> Yes.
[3:54:26] » Yes.
[3:54:26] >> Oh my gosh.
[3:54:28] » Oh my gosh.
[3:54:28] and those and so subsequent to that
[3:54:31] meeting that council meeting where you
[3:54:33] where you all said hey we want to look
[3:54:35] into this go figure it out what it would
[3:54:37] take um the lapril developer has brought
[3:54:41] his plans in and said we need to work
[3:54:44] with the city to lower
[3:54:47] um or to install drainage coverts and
[3:54:50] this isn't exact but it's close enough
[3:54:53] there's there's a three ponds I don't
[3:54:56] know if this is right or not, it doesn't
[3:54:58] matter. It's close enough.
[3:55:00] There's three ponds that have to go in
[3:55:03] for this development. They're roughly
[3:55:06] where I'm showing here on the screen.
[3:55:07] >> Yeah, you can see they're already
[3:55:08] » Yeah, you can see they're already
[3:55:08] working on them.
[3:55:09] >> Oh, yeah.
[3:55:10] » Oh, yeah.
[3:55:10] >> So, the that road when that road was
[3:55:12] » So, the that road when that road was
[3:55:12] built, that road was built above grade.
[3:55:16] So the coverts, in order for them to
[3:55:18] drain their ponds, which are lower than
[3:55:20] the roadway, they have to come in and
[3:55:23] install coververts, cross cover culverts
[3:55:25] underneath John Day Road to drain their
[3:55:28] detention ponds underneath John Day Road
[3:55:31] and then out into that 97 acres. So the
[3:55:34] the property owner of the 97 acres and
[3:55:37] the developer of LRL
[3:55:40] have an agreement in place and have a
[3:55:42] set of construction plans that they gave
[3:55:44] to us two weeks ago that said here's
[3:55:46] what we need to do here. And I said, you
[3:55:48] know, this seems reasonable, but we need
[3:55:51] to make sure that when you guys go and
[3:55:54] do this that these coverts are set at
[3:55:56] the right elevation so that they can
[3:55:58] accommodate the ultimate roadway
[3:56:00] improvements. Does that make sense to do
[3:56:03] that? You know, they're not proposing to
[3:56:05] go design the road. Um, I did tell them
[3:56:08] that, you know, it's going to take us a
[3:56:09] little bit of time to figure out from
[3:56:11] the city's perspective what what the
[3:56:14] necessary elevation of those facilities
[3:56:16] should be, the sizing of them because
[3:56:17] it's crossing underneath the road um is
[3:56:21] is is set up to just take their flow
[3:56:23] from their detention pond. And so we've
[3:56:26] got some money in here to do basically
[3:56:29] the schematic design of that roadway as
[3:56:34] part of this next year's budget and
[3:56:38] coordinate with the lapel folks and
[3:56:41] their their project. I think they're
[3:56:43] they're hoping to have those facilities
[3:56:45] in place by March of 27. That's when
[3:56:49] they really need to have those
[3:56:51] facilities in place. And so we we
[3:56:54] haven't even really we just got the
[3:56:56] final grading plans for the subdivision.
[3:56:59] They they sent those separate and aside
[3:57:01] from the drainage improvements. So we
[3:57:03] haven't really got into those. But um
[3:57:05] >> will they have to shut down the road to
[3:57:06] » will they have to shut down the road to
[3:57:06] do part of this?
[3:57:08] >> Oh, I'm sure they Yeah, it's they're
[3:57:10] » Oh, I'm sure they Yeah, it's they're
[3:57:10] they're box culverts.
[3:57:13] So that will be one of the things that
[3:57:14] we have to figure out is traffic control
[3:57:17] and
[3:57:17] >> when they're going to do it and how
[3:57:19] » when they're going to do it and how
[3:57:19] they're going to do it. Yes, sir.
[3:57:20] >> 3:00 in the morning only. They're also
[3:57:23] » 3:00 in the morning only. They're also
[3:57:23] across the street working on that 16inch
[3:57:26] water line
[3:57:28] that they've been interrupted because
[3:57:30] there's gas lines over there that they
[3:57:32] didn't locate during the design. Be
[3:57:33] >> a rough year.
[3:57:34] » a rough year.
[3:57:34] >> So, they found those out last was that
[3:57:36] » So, they found those out last was that
[3:57:36] last week?
[3:57:37] >> What' you say, Jasmine?
[3:57:39] » What' you say, Jasmine?
[3:57:39] >> So, that project shut down while they go
[3:57:40] » So, that project shut down while they go
[3:57:40] back and redo their engineering plans
[3:57:42] and send them back in.
[3:57:44] >> So, that is not currently in our budget.
[3:57:46] » So, that is not currently in our budget.
[3:57:46] Correct. That 200,000.
[3:57:48] >> That's right. That's correct.
[3:57:50] » That's right. That's correct.
[3:57:50] >> Yeah. So, if you wanted to add that um
[3:57:53] » Yeah. So, if you wanted to add that um
[3:57:53] >> I'm sorry, what do we need the 200,000
[3:57:55] » I'm sorry, what do we need the 200,000
[3:57:55] for?
[3:57:55] >> 55
[3:57:56] » 55
[3:57:56] >> 200,000 would get the get John Day road
[3:57:59] » 200,000 would get the get John Day road
[3:57:59] set up for for an ultimate schematic
[3:58:01] design.
[3:58:02] >> Get a pavement design report, geotech,
[3:58:05] » Get a pavement design report, geotech,
[3:58:05] identify the rideway, get the rideway
[3:58:07] docks prepared, do the horizontal and
[3:58:09] vertical.
[3:58:10] >> So, we would need we would need 200,000
[3:58:12] » So, we would need we would need 200,000
[3:58:12] this year, 800 the next year, 310 the
[3:58:15] next year, and then 7.8 to build it.
[3:58:16] >> That's Yeah, if you want some point
[3:58:18] » That's Yeah, if you want some point
[3:58:18] >> Yeah. If you wanted to do the $ 8.4
[3:58:20] » Yeah. If you wanted to do the $ 8.4
[3:58:20] million project, build four lanes of
[3:58:22] concrete,
[3:58:24] >> that's what it would take to get
[3:58:25] » that's what it would take to get
[3:58:25] >> four lanes of not the black top is there
[3:58:27] » four lanes of not the black top is there
[3:58:27] now.
[3:58:27] >> Correct. Build it just like the north
[3:58:29] » Correct. Build it just like the north
[3:58:29] end in L. Yes, sir.
[3:58:30] >> And that's without the roundabouts.
[3:58:33] » And that's without the roundabouts.
[3:58:33] >> No, I got the roundabouts factored in.
[3:58:35] » No, I got the roundabouts factored in.
[3:58:35] >> Okay. So, I kind of want to speak to
[3:58:38] » Okay. So, I kind of want to speak to
[3:58:38] everyone for a minute. To me, this road
[3:58:41] would be one of the top most important
[3:58:43] ones in the city besides the
[3:58:44] intersections. And that's because we
[3:58:46] have to look to the future for the
[3:58:48] bridge and also the incoming traffic
[3:58:51] from there's three streets emptying out.
[3:58:53] And then also they haven't set exact
[3:58:56] plans, but they can have anywhere from
[3:58:58] two, correct me if I'm wrong, four.
[3:58:59] Can't they have a total of four exits or
[3:59:01] is it only the two
[3:59:02] >> um
[3:59:03] » um
[3:59:03] >> for the ILA? That would be
[3:59:05] » for the ILA? That would be
[3:59:05] >> I thought l
[3:59:06] » I thought l
[3:59:06] >> No, four.
[3:59:08] » No, four.
[3:59:08] >> Uh triple T is five.
[3:59:11] » Uh triple T is five.
[3:59:11] >> Yeah, that's what I thought. I thought
[3:59:12] » Yeah, that's what I thought. I thought
[3:59:12] it was significantly more. So between
[3:59:14] all that emptying out and then the
[3:59:16] future construction where we will at
[3:59:18] some point have that bridge exit shut
[3:59:20] down, you're talking about a community
[3:59:23] trapped to a a one each way, so two-lane
[3:59:26] road. We're going to have a huge problem
[3:59:27] if we don't get ahead of fixing John
[3:59:30] Day.
[3:59:30] >> Absolutely.
[3:59:31] » Absolutely.
[3:59:31] >> Um and that's not just a traffic
[3:59:33] » Um and that's not just a traffic
[3:59:33] concern, it's a safety concern. Um, I
[3:59:36] personally would like to see us
[3:59:39] prioritize this, even if we have to
[3:59:40] remove something else, and put a million
[3:59:43] to start getting that rightway acquired
[3:59:45] because it's just going to get more
[3:59:46] expensive. Um, and so we can also start
[3:59:49] speaking to our partners about getting
[3:59:52] them to go in on the funding. The
[3:59:53] rightway is just really important.
[3:59:55] They're about to start building on
[3:59:56] Triple T. They're trying to figure out
[3:59:58] who's interested. I think we get the
[3:59:59] right away while that land's empty. It's
[4:00:01] going to be a little easier and probably
[4:00:02] a little cheaper. Just
[4:00:04] >> when we talk about that Monday night,
[4:00:07] » when we talk about that Monday night,
[4:00:07] >> I I'm talking about putting it in the
[4:00:09] » I I'm talking about putting it in the
[4:00:09] budget for next year.
[4:00:10] >> Okay.
[4:00:12] » Okay.
[4:00:12] >> Not the details. I just think we should
[4:00:14] » Not the details. I just think we should
[4:00:14] put more than even if we don't do all
[4:00:16] I'm Well, that's one landowner. Wouldn't
[4:00:18] it be one purchase?
[4:00:19] >> Yeah, it'd be pretty straightforward.
[4:00:20] » Yeah, it'd be pretty straightforward.
[4:00:20] It's just expensive.
[4:00:23] >> So 1 million would be the 200,000 for
[4:00:25] » So 1 million would be the 200,000 for
[4:00:25] this year and the 800,000.
[4:00:26] >> You want to slide that 800 over to this
[4:00:29] » You want to slide that 800 over to this
[4:00:29] year?
[4:00:29] >> I think we need to. We're going to have
[4:00:31] » I think we need to. We're going to have
[4:00:31] to move this up the bridge. Let's let's
[4:00:32] put in the 1 million if that's if we
[4:00:35] agree and then we can go back and look
[4:00:36] and see
[4:00:37] >> how that plays out with in the budget.
[4:00:40] » how that plays out with in the budget.
[4:00:40] >> Mike, would you agree that it'll get
[4:00:41] » Mike, would you agree that it'll get
[4:00:41] more expensive as they develop that
[4:00:43] land, especially if they parcel it out
[4:00:45] to different
[4:00:47] >> Yes. And we don't we've been told by the
[4:00:50] » Yes. And we don't we've been told by the
[4:00:50] by the property owner that they don't
[4:00:52] have any intent to plat the property
[4:00:54] that they intent to parcel it out in 10
[4:00:56] acre parcels or more which would then
[4:01:01] multip them to dedicate right away.
[4:01:04] >> Okay. So we do need to get in front of
[4:01:05] » Okay. So we do need to get in front of
[4:01:05] this in your
[4:01:06] >> Yes. I would recommend that. And I I
[4:01:08] » Yes. I would recommend that. And I I
[4:01:08] mean I yeah I agree with the $1 million
[4:01:11] placeholder, but we also possibly
[4:01:13] [clears throat] hopefully you have a
[4:01:15] little bit of the right of way for the
[4:01:17] John Day improvements could be less. And
[4:01:19] then there's a couple other things I I
[4:01:21] want to talk about possibly sliding out.
[4:01:23] So I'm okay with 1 million because I
[4:01:24] agree with what you said.
[4:01:26] >> And then just for future Mike, when
[4:01:28] » And then just for future Mike, when
[4:01:28] you're doing the rightway acquisition
[4:01:30] for this, I would like to possibly be a
[4:01:32] part of it with Joe. We did establish
[4:01:34] kind of a relationship with them back a
[4:01:36] few months ago. I think just if we can
[4:01:39] be a part of those conversations.
[4:01:42] >> Understood.
[4:01:45] » Understood.
[4:01:45] >> Um
[4:01:47] » Um
[4:01:47] Mike,
[4:01:47] >> so is there consensus on that?
[4:01:50] » so is there consensus on that?
[4:01:50] >> So how much money are you adding
[4:01:52] » So how much money are you adding
[4:01:52] million? What project? John Day Road.
[4:01:54] >> There's no line. So it' be a new line
[4:01:56] » There's no line. So it' be a new line
[4:01:56] item for SD51 million.
[4:01:58] >> I'm going with 1 million, Chris.
[4:02:01] » I'm going with 1 million, Chris.
[4:02:01] >> And that is for right away.
[4:02:02] » And that is for right away.
[4:02:02] >> Undecided.
[4:02:04] » Undecided.
[4:02:04] >> Schematic and right away. I thought you
[4:02:06] » Schematic and right away. I thought you
[4:02:06] guys were doing a stare down.
[4:02:07] >> We We got to get ahead of it. We can't
[4:02:09] » We We got to get ahead of it. We can't
[4:02:09] We We We got to get going.
[4:02:10] >> I would give up like almost anything
[4:02:12] » I would give up like almost anything
[4:02:12] else just because I I
[4:02:13] >> have some ideas to get
[4:02:14] » have some ideas to get
[4:02:14] >> I'm trying to get a hold of the numbers.
[4:02:16] » I'm trying to get a hold of the numbers.
[4:02:16] Y'all just signed
[4:02:17] >> 1 million schematic and rideway John Day
[4:02:19] » 1 million schematic and rideway John Day
[4:02:19] Road South.
[4:02:20] >> Okay. You've got that already.
[4:02:23] » Okay. You've got that already.
[4:02:23] >> Oh, you going to move the 800,000 up
[4:02:25] » Oh, you going to move the 800,000 up
[4:02:25] now? No, I'm I'm saying we're putting
[4:02:27] one million We would like to put $1
[4:02:29] million into the budget for project SD5,
[4:02:33] which is John Day Road South schematic
[4:02:35] and right ofway.
[4:02:36] >> That 200,000 is not in the current. So,
[4:02:39] » That 200,000 is not in the current. So,
[4:02:39] they're putting both years in.
[4:02:42] >> Correct.
[4:02:43] » Correct.
[4:02:43] >> So, we're going to replace the 200,000
[4:02:45] » So, we're going to replace the 200,000
[4:02:45] with 1 million and put
[4:02:48] >> the 200,000 is not in the proposed. So,
[4:02:52] » the 200,000 is not in the proposed. So,
[4:02:52] they're adding a million,
[4:02:54] >> right? That that's what I said. Okay.
[4:03:07] » Okay.
[4:03:09] >> Uh Mike, one question.
[4:03:10] » Uh Mike, one question.
[4:03:10] >> Yes sir.
[4:03:12] » Yes sir.
[4:03:12] >> Um so in 20 29 20 2930 we need 7.8. Is
[4:03:18] » Um so in 20 29 20 2930 we need 7.8. Is
[4:03:18] there some way that uh we can
[4:03:21] >> Sorry, did I say it wrong?
[4:03:24] » Sorry, did I say it wrong?
[4:03:24] at on 20 2930 7.8 to to finish this.
[4:03:29] >> It could be a year earlier if because
[4:03:30] » It could be a year earlier if because
[4:03:30] we're putting year one and two already
[4:03:32] in.
[4:03:33] >> I know,
[4:03:33] » I know,
[4:03:33] >> but what Yeah.
[4:03:34] » but what Yeah.
[4:03:34] >> Um we currently don't have the money to
[4:03:37] » Um we currently don't have the money to
[4:03:37] do all this at once. So is there and
[4:03:40] that would be wonder if we did. Um but
[4:03:42] can is there somebody like at Lapril or
[4:03:44] is there somebody like that that we
[4:03:46] could talk to or is there a way that
[4:03:47] lapel could help us out with this money?
[4:03:50] Um I think we've talked about this
[4:03:52] recently, but could you is that
[4:03:53] something we could talk about now or is
[4:03:54] that
[4:03:55] >> We could also talk to ENTOG. We could
[4:03:56] » We could also talk to ENTOG. We could
[4:03:56] also do a bond. I mean all
[4:03:58] >> Yeah. One of one of the things that I
[4:03:59] » Yeah. One of one of the things that I
[4:03:59] would recommend is that some discussion
[4:04:01] be held with Fort Worth because there's
[4:04:04] uh the the impact fees that are going to
[4:04:06] be paid by the builder, which is Laprell
[4:04:09] himself. He had to build all of Waggley
[4:04:11] Robertson through his subdivision. and
[4:04:14] they were talking about uh the
[4:04:17] possibility of the him also paying
[4:04:20] impact fees. We looked into and we had
[4:04:23] some discussions with the impact fee uh
[4:04:25] program manager for Fort Worth a couple
[4:04:27] years ago. She said that they couldn't
[4:04:29] remit those impact fees to us because
[4:04:31] that road wasn't identified in their
[4:04:33] impact fee program. But I would suggest
[4:04:36] that maybe some additional discussions
[4:04:38] be held with Fort Worth and just do it
[4:04:40] through an agreement of some sort. We've
[4:04:42] we've we've got the data that shows the
[4:04:46] percentage of traffic um onto that
[4:04:48] roadway. Uh the the adjacent property is
[4:04:52] currently located in the county. So,
[4:04:54] we've got a a
[4:04:55] >> good argument,
[4:04:56] » good argument,
[4:04:56] >> a breakdown and we've also got the
[4:04:58] » a breakdown and we've also got the
[4:04:58] background traffic from Lata. So, I
[4:05:01] think those discussions need to occur um
[4:05:03] in order to find some additional
[4:05:06] partners to chip away at that 7.8
[4:05:08] million.
[4:05:10] But the but the initial funding and the
[4:05:12] initial lifting and agreements and all
[4:05:14] the things it's it's important to get
[4:05:16] that going because it's this one this
[4:05:18] one should go quicker I think than the
[4:05:20] intersections because there's fewer
[4:05:22] utilities to move and you're only
[4:05:24] dealing with one particular property
[4:05:25] owner for right away. If we started
[4:05:27] meeting with the Fort Worth and Laprrell
[4:05:28] and all that and with the impact fees
[4:05:30] and stuff, that's something that we
[4:05:32] could probably start now discussions and
[4:05:34] maybe next year hopefully, you know,
[4:05:36] those discussions go good, get some
[4:05:38] extra money to help out.
[4:05:40] >> Is that correct?
[4:05:40] » Is that correct?
[4:05:40] >> Yeah, I think that there's there's money
[4:05:42] » Yeah, I think that there's there's money
[4:05:42] in here to to support that effort from
[4:05:44] our perspective. We could we could
[4:05:46] definitely support whatever
[4:05:48] >> whatever discussions need to be had.
[4:05:50] » whatever discussions need to be had.
[4:05:50] We've got the breakdown of traffic. We
[4:05:51] just really need to get a little bit
[4:05:53] into the design so we can fine-tune that
[4:05:55] cost a little bit and u ultimately
[4:05:59] decide on a footprint in the rideway.
[4:06:00] >> Exactly. Yeah. When I brought this
[4:06:02] » Exactly. Yeah. When I brought this
[4:06:02] forward a few months ago or six weeks
[4:06:05] ago, um that was the whole intent is to
[4:06:07] just get this to kind of the schematics
[4:06:09] and try to get the rightway acquired
[4:06:12] because it sets us up for them to want
[4:06:13] to partner with us when we're too far
[4:06:15] out into the future. They're like,
[4:06:16] "Maybe I can help you, maybe I can't."
[4:06:18] Like what does it look like? What are
[4:06:20] exactly are we asking for from them? And
[4:06:22] how ready to go are we? Because also
[4:06:24] Hasllet has a tendency of kind of
[4:06:28] not agreeing on the path forward and in
[4:06:30] this situation we're saying we're all
[4:06:32] moving forward in this. This is how much
[4:06:33] we need to get it done. Here's the
[4:06:35] benefit. Here's the studies. So we go
[4:06:37] with them to or go to them with
[4:06:39] everything we need and just say help us
[4:06:43] please.
[4:06:53] » So
[4:06:55] where we landed was 1 million, right?
[4:06:57] >> Okay.
[4:06:59] » Okay.
[4:06:59] [clears throat]
[4:07:00] >> Okay. Next project we have uh fund 20
[4:07:04] » Okay. Next project we have uh fund 20
[4:07:04] roadway improvements.
[4:07:06] Um I don't have the sheets you all have.
[4:07:09] >> They're all in.
[4:07:10] » They're all in.
[4:07:10] >> They're all in
[4:07:10] » They're all in
[4:07:10] >> in the transportation tax fund.
[4:07:13] » in the transportation tax fund.
[4:07:13] >> So So let's walk through these real
[4:07:16] » So So let's walk through these real
[4:07:16] quick one by one. They're pretty
[4:07:17] straightforward projects. First one is a
[4:07:20] set of striping and pavement marking
[4:07:22] improvements that we recommend being
[4:07:24] done uh for Westport Interotal Harmon
[4:07:28] Blue Mound Keller Hasslet. I think um
[4:07:31] we're still under we're still under
[4:07:33] maintenance on that one. So, I put a
[4:07:35] note in to get that one dealt with. I
[4:07:38] did see that those pavement markings
[4:07:40] aren't holding up too well at 156.
[4:07:43] So, we've got a note in to get with our
[4:07:45] contractor on that, but just some
[4:07:47] pavement marking and improvements and we
[4:07:50] we feel like that's a good good number
[4:07:52] to start with for those. Um,
[4:07:55] Verona emergency repair.
[4:07:58] Did we were we trying to get that done
[4:08:00] in this budget?
[4:08:02] That's
[4:08:02] >> this budget year is taken care of
[4:08:04] » this budget year is taken care of
[4:08:04] already.
[4:08:05] >> Okay.
[4:08:06] » Okay.
[4:08:06] >> So, that one's done.
[4:08:08] » So, that one's done.
[4:08:08] Then we had Hasset Park interim repairs.
[4:08:12] Real similar to that recent set of
[4:08:14] improvements that was done back in
[4:08:16] April, May where we came in and got rid
[4:08:18] of that busted up unreinforced concrete
[4:08:21] and put down hot mix.
[4:08:23] I think we anticipate what was it
[4:08:26] Shriber that needed the next set of
[4:08:30] interim repairs. Was
[4:08:33] that the is that the 100,000? I see
[4:08:35] 100,000.
[4:08:37] >> Um, water crest. We had Verona. Um,
[4:08:43] » Um, water crest. We had Verona. Um,
[4:08:43] this is Verona. I I pulled this out.
[4:08:45] This was from last year. I think I
[4:08:47] presented this. This
[4:08:50] is the half million dollar block right
[4:08:52] here. This has to get rebuilt. We
[4:08:55] anticipate the source of that failure is
[4:08:58] inadequate compaction on that sewer
[4:08:59] trench. And so we were proposing to come
[4:09:01] back in and uh get that all rebuilt in a
[4:09:05] manner consistent with what the
[4:09:07] developer had done in Sweetgrass phase
[4:09:09] 2. Now
[4:09:11] >> that's in water crest. That's Verona.
[4:09:13] » that's in water crest. That's Verona.
[4:09:13] Yes.
[4:09:14] >> So that's on on top of the
[4:09:16] » So that's on on top of the
[4:09:16] >> Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead.
[4:09:17] » Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead.
[4:09:18] >> It's in the vines.
[4:09:18] » It's in the vines.
[4:09:18] >> Oh, the vines. I'm sorry.
[4:09:20] » Oh, the vines. I'm sorry.
[4:09:20] >> That's their main main and out.
[4:09:24] » That's their main main and out.
[4:09:24] >> So there's two Verona repairs. No, this
[4:09:27] » So there's two Verona repairs. No, this
[4:09:28] is this is the only ver well there was a
[4:09:30] Verona emergency repair.
[4:09:33] >> Yeah, we did a repair earlier in the
[4:09:35] » Yeah, we did a repair earlier in the
[4:09:35] year and then this is pretty critical
[4:09:38] that this gets done. This is just
[4:09:39] further down.
[4:09:40] >> This is ma'am total. It's already
[4:09:44] » This is ma'am total. It's already
[4:09:44] >> this is just represent about 500,000 of
[4:09:46] » this is just represent about 500,000 of
[4:09:46] that 750.
[4:09:47] >> Yeah.
[4:09:50] » And this section here really is critical
[4:09:52] that it gets done. It's it is they got
[4:09:55] intermediate repairs just asphalt on top
[4:09:57] of stuff but it is so much pavement
[4:09:59] movement. It is absolutely have to be
[4:10:02] done.
[4:10:05] >> So the the north north Glenn Wimberly
[4:10:07] » So the the north north Glenn Wimberly
[4:10:08] those those are under construction as we
[4:10:10] speak. Those were authorized by the
[4:10:12] council on the third
[4:10:14] >> level one.
[4:10:15] » level one.
[4:10:15] >> Yes.
[4:10:15] » Yes.
[4:10:15] >> Okay.
[4:10:16] » Okay.
[4:10:16] >> So I misspoke earlier. the Careway
[4:10:19] » So I misspoke earlier. the Careway
[4:10:19] entrance 500,000 is not in
[4:10:22] >> but you added but I added $60,000 to
[4:10:26] » but you added but I added $60,000 to
[4:10:26] >> the [clears throat] 60 so there was 120
[4:10:28] » the [clears throat] 60 so there was 120
[4:10:28] total 120
[4:10:29] >> yes
[4:10:29] » yes
[4:10:30] >> okay and the and the 750 right now in
[4:10:33] » okay and the and the 750 right now in
[4:10:33] the budget we estimate this right here
[4:10:35] to be 500 so there'll
[4:10:37] >> be some
[4:10:37] » be some
[4:10:38] >> I think there's going to be some
[4:10:39] » I think there's going to be some
[4:10:39] leftover yes ma'am
[4:10:41] >> so looking on page 277 just to make make
[4:10:43] » so looking on page 277 just to make make
[4:10:43] sure I'm on the same page I have 120,000
[4:10:46] for the careway
[4:10:48] entrance is adding the s 100,000 Hassup
[4:10:51] Park 250,000 phase one striping plan
[4:10:56] 200 No well yeah I'll leave the $200,000
[4:10:59] for the Bane and then 750 for Verona
[4:11:03] Wimberly is that that correct
[4:11:05] >> okay
[4:11:10] » so I'll update my spreadsheet to say
[4:11:12] Careway entrances and I'll reflect the
[4:11:16] 120
[4:11:17] and then we'll come up with a cost
[4:11:18] estimate once we figure out how we're
[4:11:20] going to get the water out of there
[4:11:21] because we just threw some numbers in to
[4:11:23] get the discussion going.
[4:11:25] >> So, really quick, can um Marcy, can you
[4:11:27] » So, really quick, can um Marcy, can you
[4:11:27] also put SD6 on those in the back on
[4:11:29] page 277 to align
[4:11:32] >> through the rest of the document? And
[4:11:33] » through the rest of the document? And
[4:11:33] then the 200,000 for Bane is staying.
[4:11:42] » Okay. And where is that on your Bane?
[4:11:46] It's not because it was a current,
[4:11:49] >> but if we if it gets done this fiscal
[4:11:50] » but if we if it gets done this fiscal
[4:11:50] year and that 200,000 will go back to
[4:11:52] general fund.
[4:11:54] >> It'll go back in the transportation tax.
[4:11:55] » It'll go back in the transportation tax.
[4:11:56] >> Transportation. Oh, yes. 20. Okay.
[4:12:02] » Okay. So, Bane's not in your schedule.
[4:12:04] So, this doesn't have anything for the
[4:12:05] current year. It's only if it's going to
[4:12:07] next year.
[4:12:09] Got it.
[4:12:15] So SD6, the fund 20 roadway
[4:12:17] improvements. Everyone's
[4:12:20] good with that.
[4:12:21] >> Okay.
[4:12:23] » Okay.
[4:12:23] [clears throat]
[4:12:26] » SD7 Hasslet Park reinforced concrete
[4:12:28] paving.
[4:12:30] There was there I believe there's money
[4:12:32] in this year's budget to carry over and
[4:12:36] get into the design for Hassa Park
[4:12:39] concrete streets.
[4:12:41] Where is that in the
[4:12:42] >> There's a 120 that was added.
[4:12:46] » There's a 120 that was added.
[4:12:46] >> Um 120 I don't rather than the 180
[4:12:49] » Um 120 I don't rather than the 180
[4:12:49] that's on your sheet
[4:12:50] >> back on the general fund. I I think that
[4:12:53] » back on the general fund. I I think that
[4:12:53] that's something that that was one of my
[4:12:55] that was one of my um possible slideouts
[4:12:59] or possible weights one year to focus on
[4:13:04] the million the million of John Day
[4:13:06] road. It's just a possibility we can
[4:13:08] discuss as a council.
[4:13:10] love too if he was

[4:13:27] friends with them or so I'm not just
[4:13:29] thinking of myself or my neighborhood

[4:13:50] » Speaking from another resident in House
[4:13:50] of Park, I I I would love to get it done
[4:13:53] now, but I think that the band-aids that

[4:13:56] >> the band-aids that we did with the
[4:13:57] » the band-aids that we did with the

[4:14:01] tire every time I go down Barry. Um,
[4:14:04] >> I mean, I would love to get it done
[4:14:05] » I mean, I would love to get it done
[4:14:05] because it's there's another spot on
[4:14:08] Odessa when I was walking the other
[4:14:10] morning that's pretty falling apart, but
[4:14:13] I think the band-aid we did could last
[4:14:15] us another year. But I don't
[4:14:17] >> I know that there's residents in our
[4:14:18] » I know that there's residents in our
[4:14:18] neighborhood that keep asking me, and I
[4:14:20] don't know about Tanya and Doug, when
[4:14:22] are we going to get this done? But I
[4:14:24] think if we can if we want to put that
[4:14:26] off another year, I think that will be
[4:14:27] okay because there are some other
[4:14:28] projects we need to get going. But the
[4:14:30] band-aid, if we didn't do the band-aid
[4:14:32] or the asphalt, I would I would push
[4:14:35] Tanya away right now.

[4:14:37] » You still want to push her away. It's
[4:14:37] okay.
[4:14:38] >> I I think that's I think that'll be okay
[4:14:40] » I I think that's I think that'll be okay
[4:14:40] because the the asphalt that we did

[4:14:49] >> Can we also just ask really quick, Mike,
[4:14:51] » Can we also just ask really quick, Mike,
[4:14:51] James, where do you guys think Hasllet
[4:14:53] Parkway is on the needs? Do you think
[4:14:55] it's a one-year out, two-year out? Do we
[4:14:57] need more money this year to potentially
[4:14:59] patch? He's talking about another spot.
[4:15:01] I'd just like to hear from you guys.
[4:15:03] >> So, on the one one of the challenges
[4:15:06] » So, on the one one of the challenges
[4:15:06] with that one is because that material
[4:15:08] is unpredictable. It is hard to say for
[4:15:10] sure over the next year. Will we have
[4:15:13] something considerable happen? It is
[4:15:16] more likely we'll need to do something.
[4:15:18] I think we could probably address it
[4:15:20] with the regular uh street maintenance
[4:15:23] repair budget. So, if we have something
[4:15:25] that pops up, I think we can get a year
[4:15:26] out. But we have the least amount of
[4:15:30] experience and ability to predict what
[4:15:32] those streets are going to do because
[4:15:34] they rapidly got to the point they were
[4:15:36] with the patches we did this year that
[4:15:38] was unexpected. So, we know we have to
[4:15:40] repave those roads. So, I think you're
[4:15:43] safe to gamble another year, but not too
[4:15:45] much further after that. Or you need to
[4:15:47] put in money. If we're going to go too
[4:15:49] much further past a year, put in money
[4:15:50] for more intermediate, you know, asphalt
[4:15:52] repairs.
[4:15:54] Thank you, James. Mike, any addition?
[4:15:56] >> I concur with James. That's I've never
[4:15:58] » I concur with James. That's I've never
[4:15:58] dealt with roads that don't have
[4:16:00] reinforcement in them. So, it's pretty
[4:16:02] tough for us.
[4:16:03] >> They're not reinforced at all.
[4:16:04] » They're not reinforced at all.
[4:16:04] >> No, there's no reason.
[4:16:08] » No, there's no reason.
[4:16:08] >> That's why they the the first third of
[4:16:12] » That's why they the the first third of
[4:16:12] our street doesn't have rebar. They just
[4:16:14] rolled it. The second two/3s um has
[4:16:16] rebar and that's reason why it's really
[4:16:18] strong and nice. the first third on each
[4:16:20] street. That's the reason why it's
[4:16:21] crumbling and falling apart because it
[4:16:22] was never done right. And so that's the
[4:16:24] reason why we're having to go back and
[4:16:25] fix it. That's the whole reason. Two and
[4:16:28] three. This other two/3s are perfect. I
[4:16:30] mean, they'll last a long long long
[4:16:32] time.
[4:16:32] >> How much do you have in for asset part
[4:16:36] » How much do you have in for asset part
[4:16:36] repairs, asphalt repair?
[4:16:40] >> How much is in?
[4:16:41] » How much is in?
[4:16:41] >> We got 100,000
[4:16:43] » We got 100,000
[4:16:43] in fund 20. Mhm.
[4:16:45] >> You might take that at least to 150 if
[4:16:47] » You might take that at least to 150 if
[4:16:47] not double it because what happened with
[4:16:51] Barry it started what year two years ago
[4:16:55] there's cracks and it always had cracks
[4:16:58] and then exponentially
[4:17:02] it just started failing to everybody's
[4:17:04] surprise every week it was and chunks
[4:17:07] are falling off. So this is very
[4:17:10] unpredictable.
[4:17:11] I would double that repair budget. Yes.
[4:17:14] Put the two million whatever it is off
[4:17:19] for concrete
[4:17:21] permanent replacement, but double that
[4:17:24] repair budget. So that's because it it
[4:17:27] can get bad very fast from one week to
[4:17:31] the next. We noted it grew
[4:17:33] substantially. The failure did. Mhm.
[4:17:37] James, could you uh could y'all maybe
[4:17:39] Mike look at the There's another section
[4:17:42] um east of the new spot y'all did on
[4:17:45] Odessa going towards 156. There's a
[4:17:47] section that's just
[4:17:48] >> falling apart. If you don't look into
[4:17:49] » falling apart. If you don't look into
[4:17:49] that, maybe maybe asphalt in that like
[4:17:52] you did the other spots.
[4:17:53] >> We'll look at that. And there's also a
[4:17:54] » We'll look at that. And there's also a
[4:17:54] section on the front half of Adessa, I
[4:17:56] think, that's starting to show large
[4:17:58] separation just kind of closer to the
[4:18:00] gas station area. There's several
[4:18:02] sections we watching, but it is like
[4:18:04] there's cracks that were there in in the
[4:18:06] early days that haven't moved at all and
[4:18:08] then other sections that just all of a
[4:18:09] sudden you see that rapid deterioration.
[4:18:11] So, we'll look at that one specifically.
[4:18:14] >> So, Mayor Hoy, you're you're saying in
[4:18:16] » So, Mayor Hoy, you're you're saying in
[4:18:16] fund 20 instead of the $100,000
[4:18:21] um change that to 150 200.
[4:18:23] >> I would propose 200.
[4:18:25] » I would propose 200.
[4:18:25] >> Where is that?
[4:18:26] » Where is that?
[4:18:26] >> On page 277
[4:18:28] » On page 277
[4:18:28] in fund 20.
[4:18:31] Is that how does that
[4:18:33] >> that's okay?
[4:18:34] » that's okay?
[4:18:34] >> I don't think there's anything wrong
[4:18:35] » I don't think there's anything wrong
[4:18:35] with that. Yeah, I think and to that
[4:18:37] point, mayor, that's a good point. And
[4:18:39] it's and this is some of the stuff we
[4:18:40] were chasing. The exhibit you see up
[4:18:42] behind you is, if you recall, we bid
[4:18:45] some areas and then by the time we got
[4:18:47] to construction and you really started
[4:18:49] chasing it, what you see in red cost
[4:18:51] $100,000.
[4:18:53] So, and we had really good pricing on
[4:18:56] this. So I think 200 would be it would
[4:18:59] cover any of the immediate needs for
[4:19:01] this next year. 100 may be cutting it
[4:19:04] close but um I would feel good with the
[4:19:06] 200
[4:19:08] >> comes out of fun 20 doesn't come out of
[4:19:10] » comes out of fun 20 doesn't come out of
[4:19:10] the general fund.
[4:19:11] >> Yes. And that's what fund 20's
[4:19:13] » Yes. And that's what fund 20's
[4:19:13] >> that's what it's for. That's it.
[4:19:15] » that's what it's for. That's it.

[4:19:17] » And just a general comment on the all
[4:19:17] those fund 20 projects we did this year.
[4:19:19] I mean it eliminated I would say like
[4:19:21] 90% of the complaints we had coming in.
[4:19:24] We were getting I mean just
[4:19:26] >> huge.
[4:19:27] » huge.
[4:19:27] >> Oh yeah, it was huge
[4:19:28] » Oh yeah, it was huge
[4:19:28] >> for road related you know problems. It
[4:19:30] » for road related you know problems. It
[4:19:30] was almost instantaneous especially the
[4:19:32] ones on Westport. It was really great to
[4:19:34] go through there and just kind of patch
[4:19:36] and address all those little problem
[4:19:38] areas and it really has helped. Like
[4:19:40] that was I would say one of the best
[4:19:41] projects we did this year that really
[4:19:43] seemed to make the general public happy
[4:19:47] with roads through town.
[4:19:50] >> So Ton, sorry go ahead. So Tanya, you
[4:19:53] » So Ton, sorry go ahead. So Tanya, you
[4:19:53] were saying take that two and a half
[4:19:54] million and didn't take it that
[4:19:56] somewhere else.
[4:19:57] >> No, I never said two and a half million.
[4:19:58] » No, I never said two and a half million.
[4:19:58] It's it's budgeted in our general budget
[4:20:00] is 120,000.
[4:20:02] >> I'm saying take take that out. Maybe
[4:20:04] » I'm saying take take that out. Maybe
[4:20:04] wait a year, but add 100,000 to fund 20.
[4:20:09] >> Okay.
[4:20:10] » Okay.
[4:20:10] >> The 120
[4:20:11] » The 120
[4:20:11] >> 120 or it says streets and drainage.
[4:20:13] » 120 or it says streets and drainage.
[4:20:13] It's it's above the yellow.
[4:20:16] >> Um it's above the 165 and 1.425. Do you
[4:20:20] » Um it's above the 165 and 1.425. Do you
[4:20:20] see it?
[4:20:20] >> No. Can you show
[4:20:23] » No. Can you show
[4:20:23] So in 2728 that 2 and a half million for
[4:20:25] Hassa Park for concrete's just going to
[4:20:27] go away. So that
[4:20:28] >> sliding sliding. Okay.
[4:20:32] » sliding sliding. Okay.
[4:20:32] >> Double your double your maintenance
[4:20:35] » Double your double your maintenance
[4:20:35] dollars and let's slide the design and
[4:20:37] full reconstruction out a year.
[4:20:39] >> Okay.
[4:20:40] » Okay.
[4:20:40] >> Okay. I actually have a question.
[4:20:42] » Okay. I actually have a question.
[4:20:42] >> Sure. that um
[4:20:45] » Sure. that um
[4:20:45] this sounds like it's more of a concern
[4:20:47] than the Careway and I live in Careoway
[4:20:49] so I hate saying this but if you had to
[4:20:52] prioritize the Careway drainage we just
[4:20:54] put
[4:20:56] 20,000 towards Careway next year but
[4:20:58] this does sound more like a priority
[4:21:01] this road should we re
[4:21:04] >> you what
[4:21:06] » you what
[4:21:06] >> the HLlet Parkway was not a it's it's
[4:21:08] » the HLlet Parkway was not a it's it's
[4:21:08] it's been fixed it's been I mean the
[4:21:11] it's and
[4:21:14] >> patched.
[4:21:15] » patched.
[4:21:15] >> I understand, but I'm asking because it
[4:21:17] » I understand, but I'm asking because it
[4:21:17] sounds like it's not a long-term
[4:21:18] solution. They're saying we can maybe
[4:21:19] push this off one year, but earlier they
[4:21:21] were saying Careway's drainage issue
[4:21:23] doesn't impact the road at all. So, do
[4:21:25] we have these priorities kind of mixed?
[4:21:27] Because if it's just a nuisance for
[4:21:29] Caraway, but theirs is an actual safety
[4:21:31] concern. Do you get what I'm asking,
[4:21:33] Mike?
[4:21:35] >> I I get what you're asking. I think um I
[4:21:38] » I I get what you're asking. I think um I
[4:21:38] think the the interim fixes that we're
[4:21:41] recommending that you fund will probably
[4:21:43] take I think what we ran into in Hassa
[4:21:46] Park was you know kind of started as
[4:21:48] aesthetics. Hey, why doesn't my street
[4:21:50] look like this street? But by the time
[4:21:52] we got out there last year, I mean there
[4:21:53] were on Odessa there was you could stick
[4:21:55] your foot down in some of those cracks.
[4:21:57] So we've we've tried to deal with those
[4:22:00] as they've come up from a safety
[4:22:01] perspective. If you had to ask me right
[4:22:03] now, I would say yes. There's there's
[4:22:05] going to be more safety issues with
[4:22:08] those roads than there would be
[4:22:10] >> drainage out there on the careway
[4:22:13] » drainage out there on the careway
[4:22:13] entrance. Right.
[4:22:14] >> So would you recommend we wait on the
[4:22:16] » So would you recommend we wait on the
[4:22:16] careway drainage a year like we would
[4:22:18] with this and instead take that 120 and
[4:22:20] put it towards the design. It almost
[4:22:22] matches directly for the design of Hlet
[4:22:24] Park. If it's a safety concern, if it's
[4:22:26] going to continue to deteriorate and
[4:22:27] cost the city money, it just
[4:22:29] >> Yeah, I think that's one way you could
[4:22:30] » Yeah, I think that's one way you could
[4:22:30] look at it. It's it's real, you know,
[4:22:33] water and sewer are real easy for us to
[4:22:35] say you better do this or your manholes
[4:22:37] are going to pop up. You're going to do
[4:22:38] this or you run out of water. Roads are
[4:22:40] a little more kind of at your
[4:22:42] discretion. And but yeah, I think the
[4:22:45] from what I can see the this these
[4:22:48] streets pose more of a safety issue to
[4:22:50] the traveling public than the than the
[4:22:52] drainage issue at the entrance over
[4:22:54] there.
[4:22:55] >> I'm going to make a suggestion. Uh
[4:22:57] » I'm going to make a suggestion. Uh
[4:22:57] >> yes, and [clears throat] that's
[4:22:59] » yes, and [clears throat] that's
[4:22:59] >> involves Careway and Hasset Park and any
[4:23:02] » involves Careway and Hasset Park and any
[4:23:02] of these other projects. I'm going to

[4:23:08] there. Marcy is entering this stuff in
[4:23:11] her program and at the end of this
[4:23:14] discussion, she's going to here's your
[4:23:16] bottom line effect. Then you can go
[4:23:18] back. Oh, let's cut that one. Let's cut
[4:23:21] that one.
[4:23:22] >> I understand. But it's also a mix of
[4:23:24] » I understand. But it's also a mix of
[4:23:24] what can our city employees and staff
[4:23:27] handle? Um I mean that you can only
[4:23:29] achieve so much in a year. So even if we
[4:23:31] have the money for it, you know, do they
[4:23:34] have the time for it as well?
[4:23:36] >> I mean I'm fine either way. I just was
[4:23:38] » I mean I'm fine either way. I just was
[4:23:38] saying just I was listening to what they
[4:23:39] said about Careway.
[4:23:40] >> If if everybody up there thinks that it
[4:23:41] » If if everybody up there thinks that it
[4:23:41] should be flipped, then I'll go with the
[4:23:43] ex with the professionals.
[4:23:45] >> Does that not get you
[4:23:48] » Does that not get you
[4:23:48] >> I I kind of want to side with the mayor
[4:23:50] » I I kind of want to side with the mayor
[4:23:50] on this one. I mean, put it as a wish
[4:23:53] list, kind of sort in the budget, and
[4:23:54] then if we find out that we don't have
[4:23:55] the money for it, you can just mark one
[4:23:57] out if you need to.
[4:23:58] >> Okay. Is that what we want to do?
[4:24:00] » Okay. Is that what we want to do?

[4:24:10] it?
[4:24:13] >> Yes, I know. People are people are
[4:24:15] » Yes, I know. People are people are
[4:24:15] driving on the dirt between 156 and the
[4:24:17] parking lot to get to Dollar General.
[4:24:19] And I think that's a safety concern
[4:24:21] because you have people going on the
[4:24:23] dirt and on the road all different
[4:24:25] directions.
[4:24:26] >> Like they're going to shop or they're
[4:24:27] » Like they're going to shop or they're

[4:24:29] » No, they're going there to shop, but
[4:24:29] they're not even turning on to 156.
[4:24:30] They're just turning on the dirt in
[4:24:32] front of it.
[4:24:32] >> So if you're on Barry and you're you
[4:24:35] » So if you're on Barry and you're you
[4:24:35] don't want to wait to go to left, take a
[4:24:37] left to get on 156 and then take a left
[4:24:39] to go to Dollar General. You just take a
[4:24:40] left on the dirt road and then
[4:24:42] >> it's not a road. [laughter]
[4:24:45] » it's not a road. [laughter]
[4:24:45] >> It's the text rideway unpaved. It's the
[4:24:49] » It's the text rideway unpaved. It's the
[4:24:49] grass.
[4:24:50] >> It's It's a dirt road that was made and
[4:24:52] » It's It's a dirt road that was made and
[4:24:52] you just take a lead there and you go
[4:24:54] into Dollar General Park.
[4:24:55] >> All I'm going to say is on the priority
[4:24:56] » All I'm going to say is on the priority
[4:24:56] list. It sounds like
[4:24:57] >> I understand. But if we're rebuilding
[4:24:58] » I understand. But if we're rebuilding
[4:24:58] the road, can we make a connection?
[4:25:00] That's all I'm asking.
[4:25:01] >> Well, you know what? I think you're
[4:25:03] » Well, you know what? I think you're
[4:25:03] taking away from the culture of Hasslet.
[4:25:06] >> Sorry.
[4:25:06] » Sorry.
[4:25:06] >> This is small town Texas. Come on.
[4:25:09] » This is small town Texas. Come on.
[4:25:09] >> Except we don't have small town traffic.
[4:25:11] » Except we don't have small town traffic.
[4:25:11] >> I don't know what the solution is to
[4:25:13] » I don't know what the solution is to
[4:25:13] eliminate that. We probably can't
[4:25:16] construct it with on the city's right of
[4:25:19] way to eliminate that that
[4:25:21] [clears throat]
[4:25:21] uh turn in front of Dollar General and
[4:25:24] it would have to probably come from Tex
[4:25:27] Dot's permission.
[4:25:29] If they can get the permission to
[4:25:31] construct something such as a guard rail
[4:25:33] up there, then uh and Hassa volunteers
[4:25:37] to pay for it, they might go, "Sure,
[4:25:40] knock yourself out." But a solution as
[4:25:44] to how to stop that lefthand turn has to
[4:25:47] be come up with. And it doesn't may not
[4:25:51] be straightforward how to do that.
[4:25:55] >> Can you uh come up with a solution?
[4:25:58] » Can you uh come up with a solution?
[4:25:58] >> Shut down your method.
[4:26:00] » Shut down your method.
[4:26:00] >> Oh, we we
[4:26:02] » Oh, we we
[4:26:02] >> it might sh shut down economic
[4:26:04] » it might sh shut down economic
[4:26:04] development, too. [laughter]
[4:26:06] >> Yeah, if that's something we need to
[4:26:08] » Yeah, if that's something we need to
[4:26:08] look into, we could do a little exhibit
[4:26:09] and just see if there's any solution. I
[4:26:11] mean, it wouldn't be that's something
[4:26:13] that's that's no big deal. Now, I say
[4:26:15] that it's no big deal to come up with a
[4:26:17] concept, implementing it, and getting
[4:26:19] it. That's a whole another ball of wax,
[4:26:21] but we we can look into that.
[4:26:25] >> Then you don't have to worry about it.
[4:26:26] » Then you don't have to worry about it.
[4:26:26] >> I feel like there was some issue that
[4:26:28] » I feel like there was some issue that
[4:26:28] with Dollar General that that didn't
[4:26:29] happen. I don't know. Yeah, I don't. It
[4:26:32] is. It would be convenient, but it's not
[4:26:37] >> a need.
[4:26:41] So, just so I understand, SD7 is going
[4:26:43] on page 277 under the fun 20.
[4:26:47] >> Are we Is that where we're putting it?
[4:26:52] » S7.
[4:26:54] >> That is 100,000 and
[4:26:57] » That is 100,000 and
[4:26:57] >> transportation tax is now going to
[4:26:58] » transportation tax is now going to
[4:26:58] 200,000 or it's Yes.
[4:27:01] >> Let's see.
[4:27:03] » Let's see.
[4:27:03] Yeah, that's going to
[4:27:05] >> park is going from 100,000 to 200,000.
[4:27:09] » park is going from 100,000 to 200,000.
[4:27:09] >> Correct. And then where are we putting
[4:27:10] » Correct. And then where are we putting
[4:27:10] the project
[4:27:13] >> because they said they want to put it in
[4:27:14] » because they said they want to put it in
[4:27:14] now and take it out later when
[4:27:16] >> So it's already in our general budget
[4:27:17] » So it's already in our general budget
[4:27:17] where it says House Park reinforced
[4:27:18] concrete paving design 120.
[4:27:20] >> Oh, it's just different amount because
[4:27:21] » Oh, it's just different amount because
[4:27:21] they have it listed as 180 here.
[4:27:23] >> It's 120. Yeah. Here
[4:27:25] » It's 120. Yeah. Here
[4:27:25] >> that's it's 120 in the budget and so
[4:27:27] » that's it's 120 in the budget and so
[4:27:27] >> but it's 180 in in yours
[4:27:29] » but it's 180 in in yours
[4:27:29] >> in Mike. That's where I was confused.
[4:27:30] » in Mike. That's where I was confused.
[4:27:30] Sorry. So, am I leaving it in at 120? Am
[4:27:33] I taking it out at 120 or am I putting
[4:27:35] it in at 180?
[4:27:37] >> No, that's a different one.
[4:27:38] » No, that's a different one.
[4:27:38] >> No. So, that's that's to repair the road
[4:27:40] » No. So, that's that's to repair the road
[4:27:40] over the next year. The question, you
[4:27:42] said you wanted to keep SD7 reinforced
[4:27:45] concrete paving. On the line item, it's
[4:27:48] listed as 120, but Mike has it as 180.
[4:27:50] So, are we keeping it at 120 or 180?
[4:27:53] >> Mike, 160. What the difference?
[4:27:55] » Mike, 160. What the difference?
[4:27:56] >> Might as well go.
[4:27:56] » Might as well go.
[4:27:56] >> Well, excuse me. I thought we're sliding
[4:27:58] » Well, excuse me. I thought we're sliding
[4:27:58] that whole project a year. But then you
[4:28:00] suggested we kept it in. Keep it in.
[4:28:02] >> No, not not that piece. I'm talking
[4:28:03] » No, not not that piece. I'm talking
[4:28:03] about under fund 20 under repair.
[4:28:06] >> We did.
[4:28:06] » We did.
[4:28:06] >> You said keep it in and then see on
[4:28:09] » You said keep it in and then see on
[4:28:09] Careway and on this project.
[4:28:10] >> You did.
[4:28:12] » You did.
[4:28:12] >> But
[4:28:12] » But
[4:28:12] >> well fund 20 is not going to be in the
[4:28:15] » well fund 20 is not going to be in the
[4:28:15] general fund,
[4:28:16] >> right?
[4:28:16] » right?
[4:28:16] >> No. Understood. But for the project he
[4:28:18] » No. Understood. But for the project he
[4:28:18] said to keep it all until the end and
[4:28:19] then X out stuff we can't afford.
[4:28:21] >> The That would be the carway we were
[4:28:23] » The That would be the carway we were
[4:28:23] talking about. You're talking about
[4:28:24] trading carway for what?
[4:28:26] >> Hasllet Park reinforced concrete. Oh,
[4:28:29] » Hasllet Park reinforced concrete. Oh,
[4:28:29] trading those. Well, I then I
[4:28:31] misunderstood is I I I'm working on the
[4:28:35] premise that you're moving Hasslet Park
[4:28:37] reinforced concrete a year out. So,
[4:28:40] that's the design.
[4:28:41] >> That was the original discussion and
[4:28:42] » That was the original discussion and
[4:28:42] then it's gone about about five
[4:28:44] different directions. One one comment
[4:28:46] was that it might be more of a priority
[4:28:48] than Careway. So, we were going to not
[4:28:51] take it out and maybe take out Careway.
[4:28:53] But he but Careway is in fund 20. So,
[4:28:55] why would we take that out?
[4:28:56] >> Is kind of your point. Yeah, that's my
[4:28:58] » Is kind of your point. Yeah, that's my
[4:28:58] point.
[4:28:59] >> Right. And so we'll just leave Hassel
[4:29:02] » Right. And so we'll just leave Hassel
[4:29:02] Park reinforce reinforced concrete
[4:29:04] paving design in is what I hear Chris
[4:29:06] and Jasmine saying. Even though
[4:29:08] >> I moved it to 200.
[4:29:09] » I moved it to 200.
[4:29:09] >> No, that's that's something different.
[4:29:10] » No, that's that's something different.
[4:29:10] That's 120. We're talking we're talking
[4:29:12] about the general fund now. Go back to
[4:29:14] this yellow.
[4:29:15] >> Not okay. Oh, you're saying taking it
[4:29:17] » Not okay. Oh, you're saying taking it
[4:29:17] from 120 to 180? Yes.
[4:29:19] >> Which is what it's what's what is
[4:29:20] » Which is what it's what's what is
[4:29:20] originally in there.
[4:29:21] >> Yes,
[4:29:22] » Yes,
[4:29:22] >> Mike. Yes. 180 is what it needs to be.
[4:29:24] » Mike. Yes. 180 is what it needs to be.
[4:29:24] >> Yes. So the general fund
[4:29:26] » Yes. So the general fund
[4:29:26] >> whether you want to slide it a year or
[4:29:27] » whether you want to slide it a year or
[4:29:27] do it
[4:29:28] >> I want to slide it a year but and and
[4:29:31] » I want to slide it a year but and and
[4:29:31] Zach's on board with that too but then
[4:29:32] the two people that don't live in house
[4:29:33] park want to keep it in here. So
[4:29:35] >> honestly I'm neither here nor there that
[4:29:37] » honestly I'm neither here nor there that
[4:29:37] it just sounded like they had some
[4:29:38] serious concerns.
[4:29:39] >> Yeah. And if it is that that volatile if
[4:29:41] » Yeah. And if it is that that volatile if
[4:29:41] it's not if it's that unpredictable then
[4:29:43] maybe we do leave it in and get get it
[4:29:45] on the books to get fixed.
[4:29:47] >> Yeah. And Tanya if you if you want it
[4:29:49] » Yeah. And Tanya if you if you want it
[4:29:49] out I'm fine with that. I was just
[4:29:50] >> going to see what taxes do. So we're
[4:29:53] » going to see what taxes do. So we're
[4:29:53] adding it at 180
[4:29:58] » this year
[4:30:00] >> for now. This year
[4:30:01] » for now. This year
[4:30:01] >> this 26 27.
[4:30:03] » this 26 27.
[4:30:04] >> Yes sir.
[4:30:08] » We get a reality check. But it's on
[4:30:19] Marc.
[4:30:39] everyone's move to project eight. That's
[4:30:43] the Hasslac Park drainage improvements.
[4:30:46] Um, we had completed this past year the
[4:30:50] work here. Uh, and I don't should have
[4:30:53] already had this on there, but I don't.
[4:30:55] We we completed the Shriber
[4:30:57] improvements. You know, drainage is it's
[4:31:00] always expensive as you start
[4:31:02] downstream. So we picked off a
[4:31:04] lowhanging fruit and dealt with some
[4:31:06] issues that were creating some nuisance
[4:31:08] for some folks along Shrivever. So what
[4:31:11] you see in red was completed.
[4:31:13] Everybody's real happy with that
[4:31:14] project. Um, we've got an estimate in
[4:31:18] there of about 2.7 million to construct
[4:31:22] uh some sort of drainage improvements
[4:31:25] through several backyards in the rideway
[4:31:28] and other miscellaneous uh supplemental
[4:31:33] improvements from a drainage perspective
[4:31:35] out there. Um,
[4:31:38] we've got 135 left from the original
[4:31:42] design budget, I believe, that we were
[4:31:44] proposing to just carry over. And what
[4:31:47] we were attempting to do is there's two
[4:31:50] grants, um, a flood infrastructure grant
[4:31:54] and a brick grant. Um, those are both
[4:31:58] federal grants. I believe they're both
[4:32:00] at 7525 splits
[4:32:03] and those are due in November. And so we
[4:32:06] were trying to get these projects um
[4:32:09] designed so that they could be
[4:32:11] considered shovel ready in anticipation
[4:32:14] of submitting um in November for these
[4:32:17] two projects. Um we we've got surveying
[4:32:21] ready to go on these, but we need how
[4:32:24] many ride of entries?
[4:32:26] >> 17 14. A lot. There's a lot of property
[4:32:29] » 17 14. A lot. There's a lot of property
[4:32:29] owners that we're having to contact for
[4:32:31] access through their backyards. And so,
[4:32:34] uh, we're working to get that done. We
[4:32:36] think we'll have that wrapped up the
[4:32:38] next couple of weeks. A surveying team
[4:32:39] will get going and then we can put
[4:32:42] together a
[4:32:44] set of preliminary plans and um update
[4:32:48] the cost estimate and have that ready to
[4:32:50] go for the uh grant submitt. We'll see
[4:32:53] how that shakes out.
[4:32:54] >> So, this 135 was already approved.
[4:32:56] » So, this 135 was already approved.
[4:32:56] >> It was. Yes, sir.
[4:32:58] » It was. Yes, sir.
[4:32:58] So, it's already there.
[4:32:59] >> Yeah.
[4:33:01] » Yeah.
[4:33:01] >> Well, I'm actually a little confused. I
[4:33:03] » Well, I'm actually a little confused. I
[4:33:03] thought when it said carry forward, it
[4:33:05] includes the amount left, which would be
[4:33:07] the 96891, and then you're adding 135.
[4:33:10] Is that correct?
[4:33:12] >> Yes,
[4:33:13] » Yes,
[4:33:13] >> that would put it at 231,891.
[4:33:16] » that would put it at 231,891.
[4:33:16] >> We just need 135.
[4:33:17] » We just need 135.
[4:33:17] >> So, we need to get rid of some money.
[4:33:18] » So, we need to get rid of some money.
[4:33:18] >> We still still got five left in the
[4:33:20] » We still still got five left in the
[4:33:20] current year. So that means we can
[4:33:22] change this 135 to
[4:33:27] >> I don't know that we have all the
[4:33:28] » I don't know that we have all the
[4:33:28] expenditures in there
[4:33:30] >> at this point.
[4:33:30] » at this point.
[4:33:30] >> Uh yeah, for now till we get surveying
[4:33:34] » Uh yeah, for now till we get surveying
[4:33:34] done.
[4:33:34] >> Yeah,
[4:33:34] » Yeah,
[4:33:34] >> that'll be about 30 grand.
[4:33:36] » that'll be about 30 grand.
[4:33:36] >> Yeah, it Yeah, we need the 135.
[4:33:38] » Yeah, it Yeah, we need the 135.
[4:33:38] [clears throat]
[4:33:41] » Yeah.
[4:33:41] >> So we're going to keep an extra 100,000
[4:33:43] » So we're going to keep an extra 100,000
[4:33:43] in there. Well, it's 96 and change,
[4:33:48] >> but the 96 may go down is what I'm
[4:33:51] » but the 96 may go down is what I'm
[4:33:51] saying. We don't have all the costs for
[4:33:53] that project in.
[4:33:54] >> Okay. For the one that's finishing out
[4:33:56] » Okay. For the one that's finishing out
[4:33:56] this year.
[4:33:56] >> Yeah, that was
[4:33:58] » Yeah, that was
[4:33:58] >> Yeah, we think we think 135 would be
[4:34:00] » Yeah, we think we think 135 would be
[4:34:00] plenty to get it through the design, get
[4:34:02] it uh anything permitted, do all the
[4:34:05] modeling
[4:34:07] and get everything set up for the
[4:34:09] grants.
[4:34:12] I do think the uh construction that you
[4:34:14] have on the 2.5 needs to move up a year.
[4:34:18] >> Which one?
[4:34:20] » Which one?
[4:34:20] >> Say that again.
[4:34:21] » Say that again.
[4:34:21] >> The construction of $2.5 million
[4:34:25] » The construction of $2.5 million
[4:34:25] under 2829 fiscal year needs to move up
[4:34:28] to 2728.
[4:34:35] » Oh, you think the roads and the drainage
[4:34:36] should be done at the same time?
[4:34:38] >> Yes,
[4:34:39] » Yes,
[4:34:39] >> I would agree.
[4:34:47] So we could show that change. We can
[4:34:48] move the 25 into fiscal year 2728
[4:34:55] and then depending on what you decide at
[4:34:57] the bottom line about the roads that
[4:34:59] those may line up or those may be
[4:35:00] offset.
[4:35:02] >> Well, I thought they as that decision's
[4:35:05] » Well, I thought they as that decision's
[4:35:05] made, Mike.
[4:35:06] >> No, sir. Uh, I think they were waiting
[4:35:08] » No, sir. Uh, I think they were waiting
[4:35:08] till the bottom line came out on the
[4:35:10] sliding of the
[4:35:11] >> Oh,
[4:35:12] » Oh,
[4:35:12] >> yes sir. of the road design.
[4:35:14] » yes sir. of the road design.
[4:35:14] >> It's still in for now.
[4:35:16] » It's still in for now.
[4:35:16] >> Correct. Yes, sir. But on my
[4:35:18] » Correct. Yes, sir. But on my
[4:35:18] spreadsheet, I got a lot of lines on
[4:35:20] here. So,
[4:35:21] >> okay.
[4:35:23] » okay.
[4:35:23] 170
[4:35:25] >> 170. Um, we've got 25,000 to just
[4:35:29] » 170. Um, we've got 25,000 to just
[4:35:29] continue coordinating and keeping
[4:35:32] everybody up to date. And we we've got
[4:35:36] some preliminary work here that I'll
[4:35:38] share with you. This is we know of one
[4:35:40] known uh utility conflict that we're
[4:35:43] going to have to deal with on this
[4:35:44] project. And we we know that this can be
[4:35:48] a a reimbursement. And I've already
[4:35:51] explained to Text Dot that, you know, we
[4:35:53] we need to get moving on the agreement
[4:35:56] for reimbursement. You can see this
[4:36:00] water line that was put in with Hasslip
[4:36:01] Parkway up inter modal is going to end
[4:36:05] up underneath the
[4:36:07] the landing of the 170. And so as of
[4:36:12] right now, we think that's our only
[4:36:14] utility conflict. We do have a sewer
[4:36:15] line up through here, but I don't think
[4:36:17] they're going to be they're done with
[4:36:19] their bridge. So just general project
[4:36:22] coordination and
[4:36:23] >> it's right here.
[4:36:24] » it's right here.
[4:36:24] >> They're all right here.
[4:36:28] » They're all right here.
[4:36:28] Sorry.
[4:36:30] >> Uh there's there's rightway that needs
[4:36:33] » Uh there's there's rightway that needs
[4:36:33] to be conveyed for this project and
[4:36:36] right now the the roadway has been
[4:36:37] pushed to the north side of Hasset
[4:36:40] Parkway where where the city currently
[4:36:42] has all of the uh temporary or permanent
[4:36:45] drainage and grading easements that were
[4:36:48] acquired as part of Hasset Parkway. So
[4:36:50] there's some work there that needs to be
[4:36:52] done to assist in the transfer and
[4:36:55] conveyance of those easements as right
[4:36:58] away to text dot pending council
[4:37:01] approval.
[4:37:02] >> So that's just a a placeholder to kind
[4:37:04] » So that's just a a placeholder to kind
[4:37:04] of keep
[4:37:06] >> to determine how to assign a value to
[4:37:08] » to determine how to assign a value to
[4:37:08] that.
[4:37:08] >> Yes, sir.
[4:37:11] » Yes, sir.
[4:37:11] Fort Worth. That's what they've done
[4:37:13] with theirs. And when they're assigning
[4:37:15] their rightway to Tax Dot, I think
[4:37:19] they're paying upwards something like
[4:37:20] $65 a square foot.
[4:37:24] So, we got to uh work we can get some
[4:37:28] people who have done it and assign
[4:37:30] values to that.
[4:37:32] >> So, all of these fees in here you see
[4:37:34] » So, all of these fees in here you see
[4:37:34] for our city engineer on this project,
[4:37:37] they will all be reimbursed.
[4:37:40] This is a 100% text dot project and any
[4:37:44] participation on anybody's part, our
[4:37:46] city engineer or anyone else that is
[4:37:49] part of that uh cost in that project.
[4:37:57] » So 170 is just kind of moving along.
[4:38:01] >> Um
[4:38:03] » Um
[4:38:03] Hasslet Parkway, same thing. We've got
[4:38:06] money in there to I think the the bigger
[4:38:08] one on this the the unknown at this
[4:38:10] point and I'm I'll have some more
[4:38:12] information. I've got an update that I'm
[4:38:15] trying to get ready for the 17th. Um
[4:38:18] there is the expectation and the
[4:38:20] understanding that any temporary
[4:38:22] construction easements or grading
[4:38:23] easements that are necessary to support
[4:38:26] this project would be the city's
[4:38:27] responsibility to get. Now, I don't know
[4:38:31] if that's get on your dollar, if that's
[4:38:33] get and be reimbursed. Those are some
[4:38:36] details that we need to sort through,
[4:38:38] but [clears throat] a lot of the
[4:38:40] easements that were acquired under the
[4:38:42] original High Parkway project have
[4:38:44] either expired or are expiring.
[4:38:47] And um obviously if they needed those to
[4:38:51] construct the original project, there's
[4:38:54] u a good stretch of that great
[4:38:56] improvements still necessary. So, um,
[4:38:59] we'll have some additional information,
[4:39:02] uh, for you at the meeting on the 17th
[4:39:04] for this project.
[4:39:08] » We're also trying to
[4:39:09] >> So, what's happening on the 17th?

[4:39:29] list of easements
[4:39:31] and every one of them that were
[4:39:33] executed. Most of them are just going to
[4:39:36] them and ask them to renew it.
[4:39:41] » Unless you got new defined easements.
[4:39:43] >> No, sir.
[4:39:44] » No, sir.
[4:39:44] >> All right.

[4:39:51] SD11. That's Careway Street and
[4:39:54] drainage. We've talked about that. I
[4:39:56] believe that's that intersection silver
[4:39:58] sage and wild sienna. That's 125,000 for

[4:40:29] different things. We're going to take it
[4:40:31] away, but we're going to leave it under
[4:40:32] fund 20.
[4:40:34] >> Well, remove to
[4:40:35] » Well, remove to
[4:40:35] >> I think remove it from my spreadsheet as
[4:40:38] » I think remove it from my spreadsheet as

[4:42:03] kind of a standalone project. So we just
[4:42:05] had that developed and we were just
[4:42:06] carrying it over.
[4:42:07] >> So this is long bridge.
[4:42:09] » So this is long bridge.
[4:42:09] >> I guess it would be better to just call
[4:42:11] » I guess it would be better to just call
[4:42:11] that out as the long bridge
[4:42:12] >> so we know which cuz this is just

[4:42:31] say the long bridge we don't get the
[4:42:32] grant and we're needing the funds for

[4:42:44] >> Yeah, it ties it to that only. And I
[4:42:45] » Yeah, it ties it to that only. And I
[4:42:45] thought also on the house park way
[4:42:47] improvements it could deal with
[4:42:49] easements as well, not just grade
[4:42:51] separation. So
[4:42:52] >> say that again.
[4:42:53] » say that again.
[4:42:53] >> But also the Hasslet Parkway
[4:42:54] » But also the Hasslet Parkway

[4:44:01] >> Yes, that was that was before you know
[4:44:05] » Yes, that was that was before you know
[4:44:05] when the project started.
[4:44:07] >> Yeah, that chambers our former economic
[4:44:08] » Yeah, that chambers our former economic
[4:44:08] development coordinator got all those
[4:44:10] parcels. Okay, that's

[4:44:14] construction easements, that's got to
[4:44:16] all be renewed,
[4:44:18] >> but the rightway itself, it should be
[4:44:22] » but the rightway itself, it should be

[4:44:29] could be getting ahead of so we're not
[4:44:31] running into issues like they did with
[4:44:34] station 69?
[4:44:37] >> Uh, potentially. you know, we've we
[4:44:39] » Uh, potentially. you know, we've we
[4:44:39] asked for a a forensic uh
[4:44:45] summary of the project expenses for the
[4:44:48] original project as it relates to the
[4:44:50] funds that the city contributed for
[4:44:53] utility construction. We know that our
[4:44:55] utilities weren't quite finished and so
[4:44:58] we're we still waiting for that to come
[4:45:00] back. Um we're going to know a lot more
[4:45:04] over the next two months. They're Kimley
[4:45:06] Horn should be under contract any if
[4:45:08] they're not under contract they they
[4:45:10] will be under contract by the time we
[4:45:12] come to the meeting on the 17th
[4:45:14] >> and at that at that point we'll we can
[4:45:17] » and at that at that point we'll we can

[4:45:20] >> Okay. So they're under contract now. Do
[4:45:23] » Okay. So they're under contract now. Do
[4:45:23] you think there's anything we need a
[4:45:24] budget to help us get through the next
[4:45:27] year? Even if it's being reimbursed
[4:45:29] through
[4:45:30] >> I think what's in this budget is
[4:45:31] » I think what's in this budget is
[4:45:31] adequate for this year given that
[4:45:33] they're they're late start on the
[4:45:35] project. Now, that may need to change as
[4:45:37] we get through this year. We may need to
[4:45:39] up that, but our goal is to try to get
[4:45:41] them to um pay for everything and it's
[4:45:44] not even a reimbursement.
[4:45:46] >> Okay. You want them to direct your the
[4:45:48] » Okay. You want them to direct your the
[4:45:48] goal is to have them directly.
[4:45:50] >> I think that might that would make the
[4:45:51] » I think that might that would make the
[4:45:51] most sense and then the city's not
[4:45:53] having to fund it and get reimbured
[4:45:54] tracking it.
[4:45:55] >> Got it.
[4:45:57] » Got it.
[4:45:57] >> But we'll we'll get into that as we move
[4:45:59] » But we'll we'll get into that as we move
[4:45:59] forward over the next few months.
[4:46:06] Uh 13. You want to do 13? Uh Brentwood.
[4:46:15] It's budgeted.
[4:46:19] » Okay. So, that's we've got all the uh
[4:46:22] surveying back on that. Um
[4:46:28] it's a pretty straightforward project.
[4:46:30] Just adjusting the grades. You can kind
[4:46:32] of see in this exhibit that's up on the
[4:46:34] screen how you've got certain portions
[4:46:36] of that roadway that get real close to
[4:46:39] the rideway line. And we've got some
[4:46:42] drainage issues that need to be
[4:46:44] corrected. We got bunch of driveways
[4:46:46] that need to be replaced. So, um, trying
[4:46:49] to keep that project moving forward.
[4:46:51] We've got some carryover funds, I guess,
[4:46:54] to keep that one moving. We estimate
[4:46:56] that to be about a $2 million project.
[4:47:03] Showing construction next year,
[4:47:05] whatever, whatever you guys want to do
[4:47:07] on that one.
[4:47:09] [cough and clears throat]

[4:47:22] projects, that would be um
[4:47:27] well, those are those are way out.

[4:47:34] now. Did we cover we covered the um
[4:47:38] earlier in the discussion the uh Bane
[4:47:41] Road and Maxwell as part of this and
[4:47:44] then
[4:47:46] >> and then the schoolhouse Westport

[4:48:25] » We We had it. It's It was in this year's
[4:48:25] budget. It just the budget amount
[4:48:27] changed. So,
[4:48:28] >> yeah. I just need to find it.
[4:48:30] » yeah. I just need to find it.
[4:48:30] >> Yeah.
[4:48:30] » Yeah.
[4:48:30] >> Where's it at?
[4:48:32] » Where's it at?

[4:48:33] sheet.
[4:48:34] >> It's not on this sheet.
[4:48:35] » It's not on this sheet.

[4:49:09] >> We had 450.
[4:49:11] » We had 450.

[4:49:17] So the the original when this when we
[4:49:20] budgeted for this project or u conceived
[4:49:24] the estimate and the concept plan last
[4:49:26] year in summer of 2025
[4:49:31] the thought was we'll just mill it and
[4:49:34] we'll restripe it. Um, we also we had a
[4:49:38] project earlier this year where we went
[4:49:40] in and replaced those uh those
[4:49:44] transitions at the bridges
[4:49:47] and in discussing with everybody
[4:49:49] including the county folks, it was all
[4:49:51] agreed that this needed to be completely
[4:49:53] rebuilt. So to rebuild it, to fix it,
[4:49:57] right, we need 600,000,
[4:50:01] which is an increase from the 450 or 400
[4:50:04] that's currently in the budget.
[4:50:06] >> Mike, this kind of looks similar to what
[4:50:08] » Mike, this kind of looks similar to what
[4:50:08] we have now. Can you describe the
[4:50:10] changes? Like
[4:50:12] >> I think the only real the only real
[4:50:14] » I think the only real the only real
[4:50:14] difference is um basically setting up
[4:50:18] three lanes here, one straight, one
[4:50:20] dedicated right, one dedicated left
[4:50:23] um to facilitate that westbound
[4:50:26] traffic movement.
[4:50:29] >> It does. Now, that'd be very convenient
[4:50:30] » It does. Now, that'd be very convenient
[4:50:30] for people that are going right to
[4:50:32] school.
[4:50:33] >> It would be,
[4:50:34] » It would be,
[4:50:34] >> but also the eastbound is keeping those
[4:50:38] » but also the eastbound is keeping those
[4:50:38] two lanes instead of merging right there
[4:50:41] at schoolhouse road into one.
[4:50:43] >> Yes, sir.
[4:50:45] » Yes, sir.
[4:50:45] >> And at some point, just one second. at
[4:50:48] » And at some point, just one second. at
[4:50:48] some point when and if there's some
[4:50:50] interim improvements that may need to be
[4:50:52] looked at on 156 there may be you may
[4:50:55] have the ability to um send more
[4:50:59] movements down towards Aenddale Hasslet
[4:51:01] and so that would set us up for that
[4:51:04] possibility that middle lane that's
[4:51:06] currently straight only could be
[4:51:08] straight left once you have the capacity
[4:51:10] on 156 as some because I think if you if
[4:51:13] you look at it and all this is we've got
[4:51:15] that signal
[4:51:17] study and traffic study that Lee
[4:51:19] Engineering is doing. They're about to
[4:51:21] go back out once school's back in and re
[4:51:23] recollect data, but a lot of that
[4:51:25] movement appears to be folks trying to
[4:51:28] go down and out Aenddale Hasslet Way.
[4:51:30] So, this sets us up. Now, we do have
[4:51:32] some rideway that we need to acquire
[4:51:34] down there. Um, and that's that's in the
[4:51:37] process, but this construction is
[4:51:40] programmed for December by the county,
[4:51:44] December of this year.
[4:51:46] So, they're going to do
[4:51:48] >> they're going to do Bane Road, then
[4:51:50] » they're going to do Bane Road, then
[4:51:50] they'll do Maxwell, and then they'll go
[4:51:53] do one or two other jobs somewhere else,
[4:51:55] and then remobilize back and come take
[4:51:58] care of this in December.
[4:51:59] >> Can I ask a dumb question?
[4:52:01] » Can I ask a dumb question?
[4:52:01] >> Sure.
[4:52:03] » Sure.
[4:52:03] >> So, I love the threelane thing that's
[4:52:05] » So, I love the threelane thing that's
[4:52:05] going westbound.
[4:52:08] I've seen some other intersections
[4:52:10] where the right-hand lane up there that
[4:52:13] is going to be a right turn only onto
[4:52:16] North 156.
[4:52:17] >> Yes.
[4:52:19] » Yes.
[4:52:19] >> Have a median that that uh separates
[4:52:24] » Have a median that that uh separates
[4:52:24] that off so that it's its own lane and
[4:52:27] gets to bypass that first light
[4:52:30] and go straight through to 156. So,
[4:52:34] >> so that because they don't care about
[4:52:36] » so that because they don't care about
[4:52:36] going left or straight.
[4:52:39] >> So, then that whole everybody that's
[4:52:41] » So, then that whole everybody that's
[4:52:41] going to turn north on 156 could just
[4:52:43] bypass that first light, go up to 156
[4:52:45] and take a ride immediately without
[4:52:47] backing up that light for everybody
[4:52:49] else.
[4:52:50] >> I've seen that. I had that suggestion
[4:52:52] » I've seen that. I had that suggestion
[4:52:52] from somebody that went to Hawaii.
[4:52:55] >> So, is there
[4:52:56] » So, is there
[4:52:56] >> anyway, but let me let me offer this.
[4:52:59] » anyway, but let me let me offer this.
[4:52:59] He's still talking.
[4:53:00] >> And I got to think, well, that would be
[4:53:01] » And I got to think, well, that would be
[4:53:02] great.
[4:53:04] >> But if you're on schoolhouse road, a lot
[4:53:07] » But if you're on schoolhouse road, a lot
[4:53:07] of people on school, they come on
[4:53:09] Schoolhouse Road,
[4:53:10] >> they take a left, then immediately take
[4:53:12] » they take a left, then immediately take
[4:53:12] a right.
[4:53:13] >> You can still do that if you make the
[4:53:14] » You can still do that if you make the
[4:53:14] middle lane when it gets to 156 where
[4:53:16] they can turn a right right there,
[4:53:19] you know.
[4:53:20] >> Well, your median would have
[4:53:21] » Well, your median would have
[4:53:21] >> So, you basically have a double right on
[4:53:24] » So, you basically have a double right on
[4:53:24] 156
[4:53:25] >> if you wanted to bypass this light. Yes.
[4:53:28] » if you wanted to bypass this light. Yes.
[4:53:28] For the right hand lane only had to
[4:53:30] start back here.
[4:53:31] >> Yes.
[4:53:32] » Yes.
[4:53:32] >> But these people here could not take
[4:53:34] » But these people here could not take
[4:53:34] >> turn to the middle lane.
[4:53:35] » turn to the middle lane.
[4:53:35] >> Take a left.
[4:53:36] » Take a left.
[4:53:36] >> No, they would turn to the middle lane.
[4:53:37] » No, they would turn to the middle lane.
[4:53:37] >> Take a right.
[4:53:38] » Take a right.
[4:53:38] >> Yes. Well, I think
[4:53:39] » Yes. Well, I think
[4:53:39] >> but they're I'm talking about very
[4:53:41] » but they're I'm talking about very
[4:53:41] specifically for those individuals in
[4:53:42] the blue car left
[4:53:44] >> and then go over and take a right.
[4:53:45] » and then go over and take a right.
[4:53:45] >> No, they would go they would turn to the
[4:53:47] » No, they would go they would turn to the
[4:53:47] middle lane and then turn right out of
[4:53:49] the middle lane. So, you basically have
[4:53:50] a double right.
[4:53:51] >> Go ahead.
[4:53:52] » Go ahead.
[4:53:52] >> There's very few cars.
[4:53:53] » There's very few cars.
[4:53:53] >> You got a double right capability on
[4:53:55] » You got a double right capability on
[4:53:56] 156. Mike.
[4:53:57] >> Yeah. I think I think to your point and
[4:53:59] » Yeah. I think I think to your point and
[4:53:59] I'm pretty sure I looked at this at some
[4:54:01] point because we had the same idea. It's
[4:54:03] a good idea. You have a you you're going
[4:54:05] to have a conflict point. I think
[4:54:06] because if it's free if it's free,
[4:54:08] right? Then any somewhere in this zone
[4:54:12] here, if somebody's if somebody's coming
[4:54:14] down through here and this light turns
[4:54:16] and they're not having to stop, which
[4:54:19] would be the whole point of that, I
[4:54:20] think you're going to have a conflict
[4:54:21] here with this guy turning and that guy
[4:54:24] coming through that free lane because we
[4:54:25] don't have dual rights,
[4:54:28] >> I think.
[4:54:31] » I think.
[4:54:31] >> Does that make sense?
[4:54:32] » Does that make sense?
[4:54:32] >> I love your idea
[4:54:32] » I love your idea
[4:54:32] >> because it's it's a good idea if we
[4:54:34] » because it's it's a good idea if we
[4:54:34] didn't have that other leg coming in.
[4:54:36] Well, could you just make it where you
[4:54:39] can't turn left on schoolhouse road?
[4:54:41] >> I do sometimes, like say I drop
[4:54:43] » I do sometimes, like say I drop
[4:54:43] something off at the post office before
[4:54:44] I go to school and then I'm I'm going to
[4:54:46] want to go left. I have gone left and
[4:54:48] then got on 156.
[4:54:49] >> But once we have a parkway go come
[4:54:51] » But once we have a parkway go come
[4:54:51] through.
[4:54:53] >> How how does that make
[4:54:54] » How how does that make
[4:54:54] >> if it's at grade right there? It would
[4:54:57] » if it's at grade right there? It would
[4:54:57] give you that opportunity to go turn to
[4:54:58] get to 156 there instead of going there.
[4:55:01] You know,
[4:55:01] >> even if it's not at grade, you would
[4:55:03] » even if it's not at grade, you would
[4:55:03] still be able to get through.
[4:55:05] Maybe
[4:55:05] >> they can't go left.
[4:55:07] » they can't go left.
[4:55:07] >> So, question.
[4:55:08] » So, question.
[4:55:08] >> I'm just trying to figure like
[4:55:09] » I'm just trying to figure like
[4:55:09] >> Yeah, sorry. Go ahead.
[4:55:11] » Yeah, sorry. Go ahead.
[4:55:11] >> I'm just brainstorming. Go ahead.
[4:55:13] » I'm just brainstorming. Go ahead.
[4:55:13] >> This is one of the problems I
[4:55:15] » This is one of the problems I
[4:55:15] >> I almost got t-boned right there the
[4:55:18] » I almost got t-boned right there the
[4:55:18] other day.
[4:55:18] >> Frequently, especially this one being a
[4:55:20] » Frequently, especially this one being a
[4:55:20] straight turn and then everyone tries to
[4:55:22] like merge together. Why are we keeping
[4:55:25] this a straight lane if we have a
[4:55:27] dedicated straight lane and we
[4:55:29] bottleneck right here? You know what I'm
[4:55:30] asking?
[4:55:32] It's
[4:55:33] >> so make that red only.
[4:55:35] » so make that red only.
[4:55:35] >> I think because they double stack when
[4:55:37] » I think because they double stack when
[4:55:37] that light's red.
[4:55:39] >> Yeah. And then they try to
[4:55:42] » Yeah. And then they try to
[4:55:42] >> just to me it kind of just
[4:55:43] » just to me it kind of just
[4:55:43] >> just zippers in.
[4:55:45] » just zippers in.
[4:55:45] >> It's it's it's it's a pro. It's
[4:55:48] » It's it's it's it's a pro. It's
[4:55:48] problematic with the two lights being
[4:55:50] that closed.
[4:55:50] >> Will that area never be a four-lane road
[4:55:52] » Will that area never be a four-lane road
[4:55:52] until the bridge gets widened and so it
[4:55:55] can match what's on the east side of the
[4:55:56] bridge? Well, if we widened 156

[4:56:02] >> I'm saying right there, you know, you're
[4:56:05] » I'm saying right there, you know, you're
[4:56:05] right here, your two lanes and your one
[4:56:08] lane here. Will this ever be will this
[4:56:09] never be a four lane road until the
[4:56:11] bridge gets widened and then it'll cuz
[4:56:13] on the side of the bridge
[4:56:15] >> it's four lanes with a median, you know?
[4:56:18] » it's four lanes with a median, you know?
[4:56:18] So, that'd be nice if that would all
[4:56:20] kind of
[4:56:21] >> come all the way to 156 like that. Yeah,
[4:56:23] » come all the way to 156 like that. Yeah,
[4:56:23] it's the your limiting your limitation
[4:56:26] is the bridge.

[4:56:28] >> Get that three lanes there.
[4:56:29] » Get that three lanes there.
[4:56:30] >> You make it where the right hand lane
[4:56:31] » You make it where the right hand lane
[4:56:31] can bypass the first light.
[4:56:35] It has like a green arrow
[4:56:38] except for when the schoolhouse road
[4:56:39] left happens and then it just goes red
[4:56:41] for a second and let Schoolhouse Road
[4:56:44] turn left and then they can move into
[4:56:46] the right lane and not have not have
[4:56:48] traffic coming. And then except for the
[4:56:50] one moment that that's going left, you
[4:56:52] leave that green arrow straight on the
[4:56:54] right hand lane and then you don't have
[4:56:56] the conflict.
[4:56:57] >> So you have the red light with the green
[4:56:58] » So you have the red light with the green
[4:56:58] arrow which indicates you don't have to

[4:57:06] >> I mean, yeah, that would probably
[4:57:07] » I mean, yeah, that would probably
[4:57:07] require some signal head modifications
[4:57:09] and stuff, but we could we could look
[4:57:11] into that.
[4:57:12] >> But then the right hand lane can go
[4:57:13] » But then the right hand lane can go
[4:57:13] constantly except for when schoolhouse
[4:57:15] turns. Chris,
[4:57:17] >> I know there's a lot of ideas floating
[4:57:19] » I know there's a lot of ideas floating
[4:57:19] around here, but I need to bring us

[4:57:37] >> Good. So, we can understood all the
[4:57:39] » Good. So, we can understood all the
[4:57:39] points here. If we can just get this
[4:57:42] going and constructed, then we can talk
[4:57:43] about and look into those other options.
[4:57:45] I I understand.
[4:57:47] >> It's in the budget,

[5:00:46] that out makes sense.
[5:00:48] Um,
[5:00:51] >> there's no phase two. Are you saying the
[5:00:52] » there's no phase two. Are you saying the
[5:00:52] phase one interotal?
[5:00:55] >> Well, there was some discussion I
[5:00:57] » Well, there was some discussion I
[5:00:57] thought about potentially moving into
[5:00:58] design on phase two and I don't
[5:01:00] >> No, we didn't. We did not budget any for
[5:01:01] » No, we didn't. We did not budget any for
[5:01:01] it. It's just the 1.1 you have. So,
[5:01:03] would you take some out of the 1.1?
[5:01:05] >> No, because that's going to be necessary
[5:01:07] » No, because that's going to be necessary
[5:01:07] to build phase one if we get the
[5:01:09] rideway.
[5:01:09] >> Pick again.
[5:01:12] » Pick again.
[5:01:12] >> Uh,
[5:01:14] » Uh,
[5:01:14] the uh Careway improvements. I I
[5:01:18] >> That's not on here.
[5:01:19] » That's not on here.
[5:01:19] >> I would slide those.
[5:01:20] » I would slide those.
[5:01:20] >> That's not on here. It's on.
[5:01:21] » That's not on here. It's on.
[5:01:21] >> That' be a fun 2020.
[5:01:23] » That' be a fun 2020.
[5:01:24] >> Pick again. [laughter]
[5:01:25] » Pick again. [laughter]
[5:01:25] >> Pick again.
[5:01:28] » Pick again.
[5:01:28] >> Um,
[5:01:29] » Um,
[5:01:29] >> pick again.
[5:01:38] » I think the I think
[5:01:39] >> I think that's our answer.
[5:01:40] » I think that's our answer.
[5:01:40] >> I think the top five are pretty
[5:01:42] » I think the top five are pretty
[5:01:42] important.
[5:01:44] >> Okay. So really you think everything
[5:01:46] » Okay. So really you think everything
[5:01:46] except for SD8 really needs to stay.
[5:01:48] Understood.
[5:01:54] » Okay.
[5:02:01] >> So that I get that right. You the top
[5:02:04] » So that I get that right. You the top
[5:02:04] five that you have now you said are the
[5:02:06] top five.
[5:02:08] >> Yes sir.
[5:02:08] » Yes sir.
[5:02:08] >> And for this for that 26 27 budget year.
[5:02:12] » And for this for that 26 27 budget year.
[5:02:12] >> Yes sir.
[5:02:13] » Yes sir.
[5:02:13] >> All right.
[5:02:15] » All right.
[5:02:15] Okay. Uh, facilities. Facilities is just
[5:02:19] catchall. This is not intended to be an
[5:02:22] all-inclusive. These are just things
[5:02:23] that we've picked up um as being
[5:02:27] potential projects or desired
[5:02:30] [clears throat] projects over the years.
[5:02:32] So, start with that. Um,
[5:02:35] community park, that was the uh
[5:02:38] underground service. So that's the
[5:02:40] service service line or the service
[5:02:43] upgrade and then the uh circuitry
[5:02:48] I guess for Christmas and
[5:02:52] uh food trucks and all the things right
[5:02:54] around the
[5:02:56] um
[5:02:58] around the pavilion area. I guess it
[5:02:59] would be
[5:03:03] » uh
[5:03:04] well we had there was 210 but that was
[5:03:08] thrown out I guess for next year. I I
[5:03:09] mean it's a lot of these things it's
[5:03:12] it's what's your pleasure as far as when
[5:03:14] do you guys want to get these
[5:03:15] accomplished
[5:03:18] that was kind of those that was one of
[5:03:19] those
[5:03:20] >> is it in your budget already?
[5:03:22] » is it in your budget already?
[5:03:22] >> Sorry.
[5:03:24] » Sorry.
[5:03:24] >> So I don't think so. The uh the lighting
[5:03:26] » So I don't think so. The uh the lighting
[5:03:26] stuff for the park was in a threephase
[5:03:28] approach to it was an upgrade to the
[5:03:29] service that was a uh in around the
[5:03:32] inner circle for power and then trail
[5:03:35] lighting. That was all three versions of
[5:03:36] it and I don't see it in here. Yeah. On
[5:03:39] the on Mr. Anderson's, it's not till
[5:03:41] next year that he's got 210 in there.
[5:03:44] >> It's It's in fun 15.
[5:03:46] » It's It's in fun 15.
[5:03:46] >> It's in fun.
[5:03:48] » It's in fun.
[5:03:48] Yeah. For 210,000.
[5:03:51] >> Yeah. 210. UG electric lighting and
[5:03:53] » Yeah. 210. UG electric lighting and
[5:03:53] receptacles. Yeah.
[5:03:55] >> Page 268.
[5:03:56] » Page 268.
[5:03:56] >> But the 125 for community park fencing,
[5:03:59] » But the 125 for community park fencing,
[5:03:59] I don't believe, is anywhere. So,
[5:04:00] >> Mr. Anderson, you can move that 210 up
[5:04:03] » Mr. Anderson, you can move that 210 up
[5:04:03] to this year there on your sheet.
[5:04:06] Well, maybe.
[5:04:08] >> No, it's not part of the general fund.
[5:04:09] » No, it's not part of the general fund.
[5:04:09] It's part of the fund 15.
[5:04:11] >> Oh, is it? Okay. So, we move that
[5:04:12] » Oh, is it? Okay. So, we move that
[5:04:12] forward.
[5:04:13] >> Yeah.
[5:04:13] » Yeah.
[5:04:13] >> And that's on 268.
[5:04:17] » 265.
[5:04:20] >> Yeah, it's on both.
[5:04:21] » Yeah, it's on both.
[5:04:21] >> 265. So, can
[5:04:23] » 265. So, can
[5:04:23] >> can you also put that note right there
[5:04:25] » can you also put that note right there
[5:04:25] for F1?
[5:04:27] >> I think it's
[5:04:31] F1B.
[5:04:35] Oh yeah, F1A.
[5:04:38] And then where is F1B located? You guys
[5:04:40] were just talking about that one, too.
[5:04:42] >> You said it's not
[5:04:43] » You said it's not
[5:04:43] >> She said it's not in there.
[5:04:44] » She said it's not in there.
[5:04:44] >> Okay.
[5:04:46] » Okay.
[5:04:46] >> Could we add it to fun 15?
[5:04:48] » Could we add it to fun 15?
[5:04:48] >> How critical is the fencing, though?
[5:04:50] » How critical is the fencing, though?
[5:04:50] >> Is that the This is This is a question I
[5:04:51] » Is that the This is This is a question I
[5:04:51] asked the other day. It's not It's not
[5:04:53] new fencing. It's all the replacement
[5:04:54] fencing.
[5:04:55] >> So, the fencing project here is the I
[5:04:58] » So, the fencing project here is the I
[5:04:58] guess the kind of the north property
[5:04:59] line there. And as far as we haven't had
[5:05:02] it ever, I just I think it's important
[5:05:04] that we kind of define the edge of the
[5:05:05] park there.
[5:05:07] >> Away from the church.
[5:05:08] » Away from the church.
[5:05:08] >> Yeah.
[5:05:08] » Yeah.
[5:05:08] >> Yeah. Church property.
[5:05:09] » Yeah. Church property.
[5:05:09] >> People are kind of trespassing on other
[5:05:12] » People are kind of trespassing on other
[5:05:12] property quite often and we like to kind
[5:05:14] of define that so they understand, you
[5:05:16] know, where the park property begins and
[5:05:18] ends and keeps them off of church
[5:05:19] property.
[5:05:20] >> Have you talked to the church?
[5:05:21] » Have you talked to the church?
[5:05:21] >> Not directly about and they have never
[5:05:23] » Not directly about and they have never
[5:05:23] complained either. This is just I see
[5:05:25] too often.
[5:05:26] >> Yeah, a few times. curious if they would
[5:05:27] » Yeah, a few times. curious if they would
[5:05:27] be they would really like this as well
[5:05:29] or if they would be like no we like that
[5:05:30] it's open and I don't know
[5:05:32] >> I have not reached out to the church for
[5:05:34] » I have not reached out to the church for
[5:05:34] it like I said we haven't had a lot of
[5:05:36] interaction there positive or negative I
[5:05:39] just often see people utilizing the park
[5:05:42] and crossing over their property I just
[5:05:45] >> think it made sense
[5:05:45] » think it made sense
[5:05:45] >> destroyed what you're talking I have
[5:05:47] » destroyed what you're talking I have
[5:05:47] never seen anybody coming
[5:05:51] from our park driving to the church I've
[5:05:54] never seen it
[5:05:55] >> so it's more Are there anybody from the
[5:05:57] » so it's more Are there anybody from the
[5:05:58] church driving into our park?
[5:06:00] >> Spec specifically during events. People
[5:06:02] » Spec specifically during events. People
[5:06:02] drive straight through the parking lot
[5:06:04] of the church and into the park in that
[5:06:07] area. They park all along where that
[5:06:08] cross is and they assume it's open
[5:06:10] property. They also I mean they just
[5:06:12] park in that as an open field. And so
[5:06:15] that is what we're trying to keep from.
[5:06:17] Also, it appears that we own more than
[5:06:19] we do there just because the way that
[5:06:21] line is that you would assume it's a
[5:06:23] straighter line and uh even city
[5:06:26] activities, we accidentally blur that
[5:06:28] line occasionally because we forget how
[5:06:30] close that really is. So that
[5:06:33] >> so that only occurs at these
[5:06:37] » so that only occurs at these
[5:06:37] large events that we hold
[5:06:39] >> or Sunday night volleyball Sunday
[5:06:41] » or Sunday night volleyball Sunday
[5:06:41] volleyball occurs all the time. That's
[5:06:44] >> I didn't realize we had that much
[5:06:45] » I didn't realize we had that much
[5:06:45] property. That's awesome. But that's
[5:06:46] ours
[5:06:47] >> on national night out like the 4th of
[5:06:49] » on national night out like the 4th of
[5:06:49] July or like a big event
[5:06:51] >> around right there where that is.
[5:06:52] » around right there where that is.
[5:06:52] There'll be people parked all up north
[5:06:55] of that new fence all up in there and
[5:06:58] there's people parked on both sides of
[5:06:59] the road and up in there. So that's
[5:07:01] reason why we're uh you know wanted to
[5:07:02] put that there.
[5:07:04] >> Park cars for the for volleyball. They
[5:07:06] » Park cars for the for volleyball. They
[5:07:06] use the headlights for it. So they
[5:07:08] access the park using this as an as
[5:07:11] entrance. We had this blocked off. It
[5:07:12] would keep people from driving into
[5:07:14] places they weren't supposed to.
[5:07:15] >> So you would take fence across the
[5:07:17] » So you would take fence across the
[5:07:17] property and up to the street
[5:07:20] >> and you would stop at the street.
[5:07:22] » and you would stop at the street.
[5:07:22] >> Correct.
[5:07:23] » Correct.
[5:07:23] >> Yes.
[5:07:24] » Yes.
[5:07:24] >> What's that going to stop? That's not
[5:07:25] » What's that going to stop? That's not
[5:07:25] going to stop any of that.
[5:07:27] >> I would think it would.
[5:07:29] » I would think it would.
[5:07:29] >> How does it stop?
[5:07:30] » How does it stop?
[5:07:30] >> They can't drive through the fence.
[5:07:32] » They can't drive through the fence.
[5:07:32] >> They can't drive through the fence, but
[5:07:33] » They can't drive through the fence, but
[5:07:33] they can still drive up into that part.
[5:07:36] I mean, to the church property and point
[5:07:38] their lights at the sand body. Well, I
[5:07:40] think I think they can also park pull up
[5:07:43] into on this city [clears throat] side
[5:07:45] of the fence and park in that little
[5:07:47] triangle area and point their headlights
[5:07:49] on the sand volleyball.
[5:07:51] >> Well, there's a drain.
[5:07:51] » Well, there's a drain.
[5:07:52] >> So, my question is a big
[5:07:54] » So, my question is a big
[5:07:54] >> I don't see that the design doesn't stop
[5:07:57] » I don't see that the design doesn't stop
[5:07:57] that.
[5:07:58] >> There's a big drain.
[5:07:58] » There's a big drain.
[5:07:58] >> It forces someone to intentionally make
[5:08:00] » It forces someone to intentionally make
[5:08:00] the decision to leave the the park
[5:08:03] property and go onto the church
[5:08:04] property. Right now, there could be
[5:08:06] confusion. A fence really clears up that
[5:08:08] confusion. Don't cross this line.
[5:08:10] >> James,
[5:08:11] » James,
[5:08:11] >> what? So, currently, right now, there's
[5:08:13] » what? So, currently, right now, there's
[5:08:13] no lights on the volleyball court.
[5:08:15] >> There are two lights that are solar ped.
[5:08:18] » There are two lights that are solar ped.
[5:08:18] Most of those lights are beyond their
[5:08:20] lifespan of starting to fail. And the
[5:08:22] original cost to those is the same cost,
[5:08:25] like there's not a maintenance of it.
[5:08:27] You either reby it all again at roughly
[5:08:30] $1,000 a light. So, we haven't done any
[5:08:32] maintenance. The long-term plan, which
[5:08:33] is the lighting and the plugs and the
[5:08:35] power, is to address that. Uh, but yes,
[5:08:39] there is two solar power lights. I'm not
[5:08:41] sure if they're currently working, but
[5:08:43] chances are if they are, they're not
[5:08:44] long lived. So,
[5:08:46] >> would it be better to would it be better
[5:08:47] » would it be better to would it be better
[5:08:47] to get some decent lights there now and
[5:08:50] to not put the fence or do we'd rather
[5:08:52] put the fence and not do the lights?
[5:08:54] >> I mean, I think the fence is a is is
[5:08:57] » I mean, I think the fence is a is is
[5:08:57] good to have regardless of the light
[5:08:59] need. I think people would also like to
[5:09:00] have lights for the volleyball.
[5:09:02] >> Yes. Uh, I just think having a way to to
[5:09:05] » Yes. Uh, I just think having a way to to
[5:09:05] define our property so that there is
[5:09:07] nobody in unintentionally I you can't
[5:09:09] stop if people intentionally trespass,
[5:09:11] but we just feel like it it makes sense
[5:09:14] to to defi define that the same way we
[5:09:17] did on 156.
[5:09:18] >> And I I think a conversation with the
[5:09:20] » And I I think a conversation with the
[5:09:20] with the church might be a first step. I
[5:09:23] know sometimes in the past they've had
[5:09:25] people park there for events and charged
[5:09:26] or did volunteer and then I don't know
[5:09:29] just to see what they had to say. But I
[5:09:32] like the fence 156. I think it does
[5:09:34] designate that area. It looks really
[5:09:35] nice.
[5:09:36] >> And we were having lots of people that
[5:09:37] » And we were having lots of people that
[5:09:37] would drive in there and park on the
[5:09:39] weekends and you can't really control
[5:09:40] access and what they're doing. So that's
[5:09:43] that was our entire intention here. And
[5:09:45] specifically, this is never where the
[5:09:48] average person thinks our property line
[5:09:50] is. So I think they unintentionally
[5:09:52] parked there. The across the street that
[5:09:54] parking lot that's there where the
[5:09:56] Sweeny's property is, people park there
[5:09:58] assuming it is part of the park. Yes.
[5:10:00] Yes.
[5:10:00] >> You know, and we're not we can't really
[5:10:01] » You know, and we're not we can't really
[5:10:01] police everything. I just know people
[5:10:03] just think a lot of this area is city
[5:10:05] park and we wanted to define that.
[5:10:07] >> In the meantime, can we just call 811,
[5:10:09] » In the meantime, can we just call 811,
[5:10:09] slam some stakes in the ground, and put
[5:10:11] up some like caution tape at least for
[5:10:14] the larger events?
[5:10:16] >> We a lot of times we do put up cones and
[5:10:18] » We a lot of times we do put up cones and
[5:10:18] things like that. Uh we can try to do
[5:10:21] something like that.
[5:10:23] I know in advance I mean we have checked
[5:10:27] with that church if we can let people
[5:10:29] park over there. They said fine
[5:10:32] >> not an issue with them. No that's the
[5:10:35] » not an issue with them. No that's the
[5:10:35] parking.
[5:10:38] No I can do that.
[5:10:39] >> So yeah it is a very important talk to
[5:10:42] » So yeah it is a very important talk to
[5:10:42] that church. You know they might not
[5:10:44] want that.
[5:10:44] >> So I like the open.
[5:10:46] » So I like the open.
[5:10:46] >> So the 125,000 is what is the cost
[5:10:50] » So the 125,000 is what is the cost
[5:10:50] estimate for that? acquire the property.
[5:10:54] >> That's to acquire the property. And
[5:10:58] » That's to acquire the property. And
[5:10:58] >> so
[5:11:02] if you buy the property, if you don't
[5:11:04] buy the property, you just bring the
[5:11:05] fence down.
[5:11:06] >> Yeah.
[5:11:06] » Yeah.
[5:11:06] >> To follow the Okay.
[5:11:07] » To follow the Okay.
[5:11:07] >> That lower the very lower corner is the
[5:11:10] » That lower the very lower corner is the
[5:11:10] actual property line now.
[5:11:11] >> And we wanted to encompass the drainage
[5:11:13] » And we wanted to encompass the drainage
[5:11:13] structure.
[5:11:14] >> Yeah.
[5:11:18] » See how that's kind of weird.
[5:11:29] Um, so we have to decide whether we want
[5:11:31] to put that in the budget, we want to
[5:11:32] leave it out and push back a year, we
[5:11:34] want to put it in fund 15, we want to
[5:11:36] put in general. What are our options
[5:11:37] here? Well, um I'm just going to point
[5:11:40] out on page 265
[5:11:43] for fund 15, um when we talked about
[5:11:46] putting in the 210, I recommended that
[5:11:50] we wait to see how our revenues come in
[5:11:52] because if you'll see the beginning
[5:11:54] balance in that fund is only 72,832.
[5:11:58] So, um
[5:12:00] we don't have the money projected for
[5:12:02] this pro for this project you're
[5:12:04] discussing now to come out of fund 15.
[5:12:07] So, it would need to come out of the
[5:12:08] general fund or
[5:12:11] be a wait and see. Um, in fund 15,
[5:12:15] >> it could be another one of those
[5:12:17] » it could be another one of those
[5:12:17] projects. You go ahead and include it
[5:12:18] now and at the end of the day determine

[5:22:13] >> Last Saturday we said well that's 27.
[5:22:17] » Last Saturday we said well that's 27.
[5:22:17] >> Mike, have you finished your facilities
[5:22:19] » Mike, have you finished your facilities
[5:22:19] presentation?
[5:22:20] >> No.
[5:22:21] » No.
[5:22:21] >> No. I've got got three more
[5:22:24] » No. I've got got three more
[5:22:24] >> real quick.
[5:22:26] » real quick.
[5:22:26] >> But we need to wait, right?
[5:22:27] » But we need to wait, right?
[5:22:28] >> No, you're good.
[5:22:28] » No, you're good.
[5:22:28] >> You're good. There's three of us.
[5:22:29] » You're good. There's three of us.
[5:22:29] >> Okay. All right. So, the the project
[5:22:33] » Okay. All right. So, the the project
[5:22:33] 2025, we had access
[5:22:36] gate and access to the city 78 acres.
[5:22:40] So, what I've got up on the screen here
[5:22:42] is uh the an exhibit that shows how the
[5:22:47] city's property comes together at the U
[5:22:52] Hasslet Parkway at Hassllet Parkway. And
[5:22:56] what we did was we looked at trying to
[5:22:58] sort out access to this property
[5:23:01] irrespective of the use of the property.
[5:23:03] There is only one location that will
[5:23:06] work from a technical standpoint
[5:23:09] to access this property. So you can see
[5:23:12] we did quite a bit of work to plan out
[5:23:14] the location of this, checking
[5:23:16] driveways, sight distance, turn lane
[5:23:18] links for the future, all the things,
[5:23:21] taking into account existing drives and
[5:23:24] existing turn lanes. And we settled upon
[5:23:27] a a driveway location
[5:23:30] uh generally shown on this exhibit here.
[5:23:33] And so we've got a project that is ready
[5:23:36] for bids, actually hit the paper last
[5:23:39] week to construct a fence, pipe rail
[5:23:43] fence and gate along Hasslet Parkway
[5:23:48] and build.
[5:23:51] So that's generally the the
[5:23:54] fence, the pipe rail fence,
[5:23:57] and then there's some u barb wire
[5:24:00] fencing to tie things in. Um the the
[5:24:04] design and the bid package also includes
[5:24:07] a median opening. There is no median
[5:24:09] opening.
[5:24:10] So you see to access it right now you'd
[5:24:13] have to come up and whip a UEI that's
[5:24:15] just off the sheet, but we we went ahead
[5:24:19] and designed a a median opening and
[5:24:21] we're bidding that as an alternate
[5:24:24] to see if that can come in under budget
[5:24:27] and meet the needs of the city. You
[5:24:29] think 286,000 is going to cover that?
[5:24:34] >> No, I think it's I think 286 would would
[5:24:37] » No, I think it's I think 286 would would
[5:24:37] cover the driveway and the fence, but I
[5:24:39] don't think it's going to cover the
[5:24:40] median opening. I think that'll be more
[5:24:42] like 350, but we've already got it
[5:24:45] designed and we're going to bid it as an
[5:24:46] alternate.
[5:24:47] >> Okay.
[5:24:48] » Okay.
[5:24:48] >> And if
[5:24:48] » And if
[5:24:48] >> what was the previous estimate that you
[5:24:51] » what was the previous estimate that you
[5:24:51] gave me?
[5:24:51] >> 38 350
[5:24:53] » 38 350
[5:24:53] >> 350. How'd it get down to 260?
[5:24:56] » 350. How'd it get down to 260?
[5:24:56] >> He just said he took it. He just said
[5:24:58] » He just said he took it. He just said
[5:24:58] it. He took out the
[5:25:01] >> with with the median opening is 350.
[5:25:03] » with with the median opening is 350.
[5:25:03] >> Yeah.
[5:25:03] » Yeah.
[5:25:03] >> Without the median opening it's 2.
[5:25:05] » Without the median opening it's 2.
[5:25:05] >> You need a median improvement.
[5:25:07] » You need a median improvement.
[5:25:07] >> So sorry carry forward.
[5:25:10] » So sorry carry forward.
[5:25:10] >> What is this budgeted at in our budget?
[5:25:13] » What is this budgeted at in our budget?
[5:25:13] >> 2864647
[5:25:15] » 2864647
[5:25:15] >> 286.
[5:25:16] » 286.
[5:25:16] >> Yes.
[5:25:17] » Yes.
[5:25:17] >> How did that happen?
[5:25:18] » How did that happen?
[5:25:18] >> That's been there. That was
[5:25:20] » That's been there. That was
[5:25:20] >> How did that happen?
[5:25:21] » How did that happen?
[5:25:21] >> That was what you proposed.
[5:25:23] » That was what you proposed.
[5:25:23] >> No.
[5:25:24] » No.
[5:25:24] >> Yes.
[5:25:25] » Yes.
[5:25:25] >> That came in your budget. that was
[5:25:27] » That came in your budget. that was
[5:25:27] probably um carried forward.
[5:25:32] >> It was
[5:25:33] » It was
[5:25:33] >> um
[5:25:35] » um
[5:25:35] it was probably originally 350 and now
[5:25:37] it's down to
[5:25:37] >> 28. We need how much
[5:25:40] » 28. We need how much
[5:25:40] >> because with the median opening and the
[5:25:42] » because with the median opening and the
[5:25:42] fence and the driveway
[5:25:44] >> 350.
[5:25:46] » 350.
[5:25:46] >> So the Yeah.
[5:25:48] » So the Yeah.
[5:25:48] >> Can I ask you how important this access
[5:25:51] » Can I ask you how important this access
[5:25:51] is? Why we would push this project for
[5:25:52] this year when we've got a million other
[5:25:55] expenses?
[5:25:57] Well, this this this was in this year's
[5:26:00] budget.
[5:26:02] >> Yeah, but we haven't awarded it yet. I I
[5:26:03] » Yeah, but we haven't awarded it yet. I I
[5:26:03] realize
[5:26:04] >> No, we have and we haven't awarded it.
[5:26:05] » No, we have and we haven't awarded it.
[5:26:05] We haven't We're bidding it, but um
[5:26:09] access to the property.
[5:26:11] >> Access to the property. We have 78 acres
[5:26:15] » Access to the property. We have 78 acres
[5:26:15] and don't have access to the property.
[5:26:17] >> We don't have to work.
[5:26:20] » We don't have to work.
[5:26:20] >> We don't have any use lined up yet.
[5:26:22] » We don't have any use lined up yet.
[5:26:22] >> But I think it's going to be important
[5:26:23] » But I think it's going to be important
[5:26:23] that we do this now so when it is
[5:26:24] developed, we have this. It's never
[5:26:26] going to get
[5:26:26] >> to tell you this.
[5:26:27] » to tell you this.
[5:26:27] >> Okay, I guess I'm done talking
[5:26:29] » Okay, I guess I'm done talking
[5:26:29] >> is using that access.
[5:26:31] » is using that access.
[5:26:31] >> Yeah, I think I think they're Are you
[5:26:32] » Yeah, I think I think they're Are you
[5:26:32] guys accessing?
[5:26:34] >> Are you
[5:26:36] » Are you
[5:26:36] sort of
[5:26:37] >> there is there is a a method we we will
[5:26:39] » there is there is a a method we we will
[5:26:39] >> dirt
[5:26:40] » dirt
[5:26:40] >> there is dirt road that goes there and
[5:26:42] » there is dirt road that goes there and
[5:26:42] we uh do utilize that. It would be
[5:26:45] helpful to have an appropriate access
[5:26:47] off of there. It's just given certain
[5:26:49] times of the day it is much easier to
[5:26:51] get people and equipment
[5:26:53] >> through this direction. It's, you know,
[5:26:55] » through this direction. It's, you know,
[5:26:55] we don't have to have it, but it is
[5:26:57] something we would utilize and
[5:26:58] appreciate if it was there.
[5:26:59] >> We're small town Texas. We can go
[5:27:01] » We're small town Texas. We can go
[5:27:01] off-roading.
[5:27:05] » That's what Dollar General's for.
[5:27:07] >> We can do it at Dollar General. We can
[5:27:08] » We can do it at Dollar General. We can
[5:27:08] do it on an empty lot, but that's just
[5:27:11] me.
[5:27:11] >> I say we leave it. I think it's going to
[5:27:12] » I say we leave it. I think it's going to
[5:27:12] be important that we get access to that
[5:27:14] and that it
[5:27:16] I know right now it doesn't seem as like
[5:27:19] priority number one, but I think it's
[5:27:20] important that they they have access to
[5:27:22] it. There's another way to enter it and
[5:27:24] it'll look good de development wise.
[5:27:26] >> Can we leave it now and keep it in mind
[5:27:27] » Can we leave it now and keep it in mind
[5:27:27] if we need to cut?
[5:27:28] >> Yeah, for sure.
[5:27:29] » Yeah, for sure.
[5:27:29] >> And do we want to move it to the 350?
[5:27:31] » And do we want to move it to the 350?
[5:27:31] He's saying he needs
[5:27:32] >> So the original budget was 350,000 and
[5:27:35] » So the original budget was 350,000 and
[5:27:35] they've spent 13 350 225
[5:27:37] >> doing what?
[5:27:38] » doing what?
[5:27:38] >> Well, that would be 300,000.
[5:27:41] » Well, that would be 300,000.
[5:27:41] >> Why that what was what was that spent
[5:27:42] » Why that what was what was that spent
[5:27:42] on? Do we know?
[5:27:43] >> Engineering [snorts] survey survey and
[5:27:45] » Engineering [snorts] survey survey and
[5:27:45] engineering.
[5:27:47] >> I think we did the land swap exhibits
[5:27:49] » I think we did the land swap exhibits
[5:27:49] with that too. So the 28 the 286 or
[5:27:52] whatever's left in there would be enough
[5:27:54] to
[5:27:55] >> No, he's saying it's not.
[5:27:56] » No, he's saying it's not.
[5:27:56] >> You need another 350.
[5:27:58] » You need another 350.
[5:27:58] >> No, not enough.
[5:27:59] » No, not enough.
[5:27:59] >> We would need a note. There's $63,35255
[5:28:04] carried forward or added on the carry
[5:28:06] forward. So, can we mark that for now
[5:28:08] and come back?
[5:28:09] >> Yeah, Mike. Is that sufficient to just
[5:28:13] » Yeah, Mike. Is that sufficient to just
[5:28:13] restore it to 350?
[5:28:14] >> I think so. Yes. That'll at least get
[5:28:16] » I think so. Yes. That'll at least get
[5:28:16] the driveway built. Yeah.
[5:28:18] >> Okay. You got one.
[5:28:19] » Okay. You got one.
[5:28:19] >> James or David, have y'all ever seen
[5:28:21] » James or David, have y'all ever seen
[5:28:21] anybody that should not be on the
[5:28:24] property entering the property from
[5:28:25] Hasset Parkway since Hasslet Parkway has
[5:28:27] been built?
[5:28:28] >> So up to that.
[5:28:28] » So up to that.
[5:28:28] >> So recently that's been a common
[5:28:30] » So recently that's been a common
[5:28:30] occurrence. We've been ensuring that gas
[5:28:33] well entrance is locked which we hope is
[5:28:35] deterring that. But it's being used by
[5:28:38] by more it's gas well employees
[5:28:40] obviously for the use of gas wells. We
[5:28:42] have seen uh other utility companies
[5:28:46] using it to access rightaway and then
[5:28:48] now recently we've been seeing the
[5:28:49] general public all who would should not.
[5:28:51] So having that gate would make that
[5:28:54] better uh to control that kind of
[5:28:56] access.
[5:28:57] >> So high schoolers won't be driving out
[5:28:58] » So high schoolers won't be driving out
[5:28:58] there doing donuts out on our property
[5:29:00] or something, you know.
[5:29:01] >> Yeah. Well, mainly they're just looking
[5:29:02] » Yeah. Well, mainly they're just looking
[5:29:02] for a quick cut through to get back.
[5:29:05] >> Or if we built the roads right, they
[5:29:07] » Or if we built the roads right, they
[5:29:07] wouldn't need it.
[5:29:11] » I'm going to keep
[5:29:13] hidden.
[5:29:13] >> So, so a fence would So, even though
[5:29:15] » So, so a fence would So, even though
[5:29:15] we'd like to save money right now, but a
[5:29:17] fence would be beneficial to help keep
[5:29:19] people off.
[5:29:20] >> Yeah, it's a beneficial project, like I
[5:29:22] » Yeah, it's a beneficial project, like I
[5:29:22] said, and I can't speak for what it'd be
[5:29:24] in a year or so, but I assume it only
[5:29:25] gets more expensive to build it and it
[5:29:27] was budgeted and
[5:29:29] >> it makes sense to complete.
[5:29:31] » it makes sense to complete.
[5:29:31] >> Mike, are you going to be bidding that
[5:29:33] » Mike, are you going to be bidding that
[5:29:33] this fiscal year?
[5:29:34] >> There's nothing in here for public works
[5:29:36] » There's nothing in here for public works
[5:29:36] building.
[5:29:38] >> All right. What's next?
[5:29:44] library.
[5:29:50] » The thought [clears throat] of that is
[5:29:52] um
[5:29:57] if I could find that.
[5:29:59] >> We talked about this last week.
[5:30:01] » We talked about this last week.
[5:30:01] >> We did and uh I got to mention it
[5:30:03] » We did and uh I got to mention it
[5:30:03] briefly.
[5:30:06] the the current library
[5:30:10] is insufficient.
[5:30:12] >> We all agree.
[5:30:13] » We all agree.
[5:30:13] >> It is insufficient.
[5:30:14] » It is insufficient.
[5:30:14] >> We all agree.
[5:30:15] » We all agree.
[5:30:15] >> And building a new library, it is
[5:30:19] » And building a new library, it is
[5:30:19] getting u
[5:30:22] frees up that existing library for city
[5:30:26] offices and a dedicated council
[5:30:28] chambers. Each wing is twice the size at
[5:30:33] least of this area.
[5:30:36] And in that so the library
[5:30:42] >> before taking it
[5:30:43] » before taking it
[5:30:43] >> before you continue can he just do his
[5:30:44] » before you continue can he just do his
[5:30:44] last one then he can go and then we can
[5:30:46] go back to
[5:30:46] >> I didn't know he had anything he
[5:30:47] » I didn't know he had anything he
[5:30:48] mentioned library.
[5:30:48] >> Are you done or is there anything else?
[5:30:51] » Are you done or is there anything else?
[5:30:51] >> I'd like to go through that last go
[5:30:53] » I'd like to go through that last go
[5:30:53] ahead go through that last one then we
[5:30:55] can let you go.
[5:30:56] >> Okay.
[5:30:57] » Okay.
[5:30:57] >> Okay.
[5:30:59] » Okay.
[5:30:59] >> Then we can
[5:31:03] » Okay. The last item that I have up here
[5:31:05] is the public works annex.
[5:31:09] The public works annex. That was the
[5:31:13] uh p public works and the material
[5:31:17] storage, the yard, road, utilities. That
[5:31:22] was the uh plans that we brought to the
[5:31:26] last council meeting along with the
[5:31:28] updated cost estimate. That project's
[5:31:30] right around 5 5.1 million.
[5:31:35] >> You got something to show?
[5:31:37] » You got something to show?
[5:31:37] >> Uh yeah, I can I'm sorry I didn't have
[5:31:39] » Uh yeah, I can I'm sorry I didn't have
[5:31:39] anything pulled up.
[5:31:40] >> While you're pulling that up, you think
[5:31:41] » While you're pulling that up, you think
[5:31:41] 5.1 million is required for next year?
[5:31:44] You think it'll be designed, bid, and
[5:31:46] completed?
[5:31:47] >> I was going to I was going to briefly
[5:31:49] » I was going to I was going to briefly
[5:31:49] touch on that.
[5:31:50] >> Okay.
[5:31:50] » Okay.
[5:31:50] >> Thank you for Thank you for bringing
[5:31:52] » Thank you for Thank you for bringing
[5:31:52] that up.
[5:31:53] >> No worries. I think it's 425 now and
[5:31:55] » No worries. I think it's 425 now and
[5:31:55] then the rest the next
[5:31:59] >> 425 now and then the rest the next year.
[5:32:01] » 425 now and then the rest the next year.
[5:32:01] >> I would think it's it's probably going
[5:32:02] » I would think it's it's probably going
[5:32:02] to be split between 27 28 28 and 29 is
[5:32:05] what I
[5:32:07] >> see here
[5:32:09] » see here
[5:32:10] the four point
[5:32:12] I guess he's going to go over.
[5:32:15] >> So
[5:32:17] » So
[5:32:17] disappeared on me. Okay everybody can
[5:32:21] see the screen. So right now, this is
[5:32:23] the plan that we're moving forward with
[5:32:25] into detailed design. We've got these
[5:32:28] three buildings. Everything you see in
[5:32:31] gray is either part of the yard, part of
[5:32:33] the parking lot, or the roadway. One of
[5:32:36] the thoughts that we had was taking the
[5:32:38] material that's going to be generated
[5:32:40] from the Tarant County road work
[5:32:42] projects, the three projects set to get
[5:32:44] underway next month, using that wrap
[5:32:47] material, stockpiling it at a location
[5:32:51] generally over here out of our way.
[5:32:54] using that to construct a good portion
[5:32:58] of the yard and all of the road road
[5:33:00] base and parking lot materials which
[5:33:03] would result in a significant savings on
[5:33:06] the project. We had a million dollars in
[5:33:07] here for the road and the and the yard
[5:33:10] paving. I think we could save a
[5:33:12] significant amount of money. the the
[5:33:15] type of construction and the type of
[5:33:17] contractor that you would have doing
[5:33:19] your buildings, you don't necessarily
[5:33:21] want them building roads or doing other
[5:33:23] things. So, what what we had talked
[5:33:25] about doing was moving forward with the
[5:33:28] three buildings. Those are currently
[5:33:30] that project's funded at $2.5 million.
[5:33:33] Correct. Correct.
[5:33:34] >> We have three buildings there. We're
[5:33:36] » We have three buildings there. We're
[5:33:36] we're we we've got our architect going
[5:33:38] to come in and next week, week after
[5:33:41] that, we should be able to hone in on
[5:33:43] what these buildings are going to cost.
[5:33:44] I would recommend we move forward with
[5:33:47] the design of the foundation and the
[5:33:49] buildings. Try to get those out on the
[5:33:52] street in the next six weeks. Get the
[5:33:55] buildings out for bid while we sort
[5:33:57] through the design for the rest of the
[5:34:00] road and the utilities and then you all
[5:34:03] determine how you want to pay for that
[5:34:06] short shortfall if you will on the
[5:34:08] project. To answer your question, we
[5:34:10] could get started with the construction
[5:34:12] of the buildings
[5:34:14] um this next fiscal year and the roadway
[5:34:20] and the yard and the fencing could all
[5:34:22] come in um as part of next year's budget
[5:34:25] or later. But I just recommend we split
[5:34:28] it into two separate projects
[5:34:31] would be my recommendation on the
[5:34:34] implementation of it.
[5:34:35] >> So 2.5 now and 2.5
[5:34:39] » So 2.5 now and 2.5
[5:34:39] later.
[5:34:39] >> Yeah. If if we have to get concurrence
[5:34:41] » Yeah. If if we have to get concurrence
[5:34:41] from the county that they're going to um
[5:34:44] we don't have our ILA signed, which we
[5:34:46] know it's just a matter of getting it
[5:34:48] signed for the Westport Parkway
[5:34:50] Schoolhouse intersection. We we need to
[5:34:53] get them on board saying that, yeah,
[5:34:54] we'll come in and build this road. If we
[5:34:57] can do that, then that's that shaves
[5:34:59] potentially
[5:35:00] 6 to $800,000 off that 500 or that $5
[5:35:04] million project. But we won't be able to
[5:35:06] do that for the next few months. So, we
[5:35:08] were thinking if we could just keep some
[5:35:11] money in there and then somehow split
[5:35:15] the project into two phases,
[5:35:18] that would be a logical path forward. I
[5:35:21] know that doesn't help solve your
[5:35:22] >> So, you're talking building the uh
[5:35:26] » So, you're talking building the uh
[5:35:26] fenced area, which is almost 4 acres.
[5:35:30] >> That's right. Is that correct?
[5:35:31] » That's right. Is that correct?
[5:35:32] >> Yes, sir. and
[5:35:34] » Yes, sir. and
[5:35:34] the foundations, the buildings, get as
[5:35:39] far as you can on all of that.
[5:35:42] Is that correct?
[5:35:44] >> Um, that's one way to do it. Or
[5:35:46] » Um, that's one way to do it. Or
[5:35:46] >> no, no. What are you suggesting to do?
[5:35:49] » no, no. What are you suggesting to do?
[5:35:49] >> Well, I'm s What I'm suggesting is that
[5:35:51] » Well, I'm s What I'm suggesting is that
[5:35:51] we move forward with the design and
[5:35:52] construction of three standalone
[5:35:54] buildings right there as one package.
[5:35:56] >> Yeah. The other package would include
[5:35:59] » Yeah. The other package would include
[5:35:59] the fencing, the road, the yard, and the
[5:36:01] utilities to support those three
[5:36:03] standalone buildings.
[5:36:04] >> And you're suggesting the roads first,
[5:36:07] » And you're suggesting the roads first,
[5:36:07] >> correct?
[5:36:09] » correct?
[5:36:09] >> Well, it would all just be one project.
[5:36:11] » Well, it would all just be one project.
[5:36:12] >> Well, that's what I'm saying. The road
[5:36:13] » Well, that's what I'm saying. The road
[5:36:13] the because you you keep talking about
[5:36:15] breaking it apart into two.
[5:36:16] >> I think the the buildings are going to
[5:36:17] » I think the the buildings are going to
[5:36:17] take longer, I think, than the utilities
[5:36:19] and the road. So, if we could get those
[5:36:22] going,
[5:36:24] continue the design of the buildings,
[5:36:26] get those out for bid, let's say
[5:36:28] October,
[5:36:29] >> and by the time they're really trying to
[5:36:31] » and by the time they're really trying to
[5:36:31] get anything going on the site, you're
[5:36:33] talking probably after the first of the
[5:36:35] year,
[5:36:35] >> okay,
[5:36:35] » okay,
[5:36:35] >> we'll have plenty of time at that point
[5:36:37] » we'll have plenty of time at that point
[5:36:37] to get the county to be on board on
[5:36:40] whether or not they would construct the
[5:36:41] roadway. At a minimum, we know we're
[5:36:43] going to have the materials. we could
[5:36:46] finish a separate set of civil plans for
[5:36:49] the uh grading, fencing, road, and
[5:36:51] utilities and just have that as a
[5:36:54] separate package. So that that would be
[5:36:56] the the way I would recommend you
[5:36:58] implement this as a two-phase project.
[5:37:01] And I I we're we're running out of time
[5:37:03] to try to figure out before your
[5:37:06] budget's adopted exactly what the
[5:37:08] dollars are going to be, right? But I'm
[5:37:11] what I'm hoping and I think we'll be
[5:37:13] able to get to the point that that 5.1
[5:37:15] could probably be more like 4.1 or 4.3
[5:37:20] if the county is able to construct the
[5:37:21] road.
[5:37:22] >> Agreed. So, what do you need this year
[5:37:23] » Agreed. So, what do you need this year
[5:37:23] to try to get the county to do that
[5:37:25] road? That's the question. Is the 2.5 or
[5:37:27] do you need the full 4? What do you need
[5:37:29] this year?
[5:37:32] I think we would need um
[5:37:34] >> I let me I'm going to interrupt
[5:37:36] » I let me I'm going to interrupt
[5:37:36] >> knowing knowing the knowing your
[5:37:39] » knowing knowing the knowing your
[5:37:39] workload and all the things that have to
[5:37:42] come together to think that you can get
[5:37:45] through and the architect and structure
[5:37:48] and everybody else get a design and get
[5:37:51] it out to bid that's and have anything
[5:37:56] to construct within a fiscal year is not
[5:38:00] going to Mayor, can I can I not be
[5:38:02] interrupted because we agreed to that
[5:38:03] last time. I would ask you before I
[5:38:05] spoke and you wouldn't interrupt. Mike,
[5:38:07] what do you think you need this year?
[5:38:09] >> I think we I think the 2.5 would be
[5:38:12] » I think we I think the 2.5 would be
[5:38:12] adequate to get the buildings designed
[5:38:15] and under contract. Now, how much of
[5:38:18] that would be left? I won't know that
[5:38:21] for probably at least two weeks because
[5:38:23] we got to get with the architect, figure
[5:38:24] out how it's going to finish out. Um, so
[5:38:28] any any remaining funds could go to the
[5:38:30] rest of the project. And if you're
[5:38:32] asking should how much more of the 5.1
[5:38:35] should we try to give you to get going
[5:38:38] on the road and the utilities? Is that
[5:38:39] what I'm
[5:38:40] >> Yes.
[5:38:41] » Yes.
[5:38:41] >> Um,
[5:38:42] » Um,
[5:38:42] >> ballpark.
[5:38:43] » ballpark.
[5:38:43] >> Let's say um 750,000.
[5:38:46] » Let's say um 750,000.
[5:38:46] >> So you would need us to take you to 3.25
[5:38:49] » So you would need us to take you to 3.25
[5:38:49] million this year,
[5:38:50] >> right? I think that's reasonable for
[5:38:53] » right? I think that's reasonable for
[5:38:53] this next fiscal year. How much how much
[5:38:56] I don't know if you already said it
[5:38:57] while ago, but [clears throat] by us
[5:39:00] using the reused asphalt from the other
[5:39:02] three projects, stockpiling it and
[5:39:04] already having that on site, how much do
[5:39:06] you think that's going to save us from
[5:39:07] having to go buy new asphalt and we can
[5:39:09] reuse that?
[5:39:09] >> I think that could save 6 to 800,000 off
[5:39:12] » I think that could save 6 to 800,000 off
[5:39:12] that estimate.
[5:39:13] >> So us adding the 750,000 this year could
[5:39:15] » So us adding the 750,000 this year could
[5:39:15] save us 6 to 800,000 correct in the
[5:39:18] following. Okay. And Mike, just one more
[5:39:21] time, the left part that says total
[5:39:23] sight area 3.759.
[5:39:25] What is that fenced in area for? Just
[5:39:27] debris or what? What is that area
[5:39:29] utilized for?
[5:39:31] >> That area right there. Yeah.
[5:39:32] » That area right there. Yeah.
[5:39:32] >> Well, that's that's for just
[5:39:34] » Well, that's that's for just
[5:39:34] >> that's our brush our brush and limb day
[5:39:36] » that's our brush our brush and limb day
[5:39:36] drop off area. That's where we're going
[5:39:38] to keep spoils or anything. Okay. But
[5:39:40] mainly brush and limb is what we're
[5:39:42] expecting there.
[5:39:43] >> Okay. And then what are we doing with
[5:39:44] » Okay. And then what are we doing with
[5:39:44] the old building?
[5:39:45] >> We're going to keep using it.
[5:39:47] » We're going to keep using it.
[5:39:47] >> We will keep using it. And the long-term
[5:39:49] » We will keep using it. And the long-term
[5:39:49] plan would be to ever to be completely
[5:39:51] in this section over here and that'd be
[5:39:52] open to something else. Okay. We think
[5:39:54] long-term plans there would require some
[5:39:56] ma massive reworking just because of the
[5:39:58] drainage issues we've always had there.
[5:40:00] Everything there is too low by
[5:40:02] comparison or lots of work would have to
[5:40:04] happen around us.
[5:40:06] >> And this new plan still keeps all the
[5:40:08] » And this new plan still keeps all the
[5:40:08] utilities available, easements a open,
[5:40:12] gas wells accessible, all those things,
[5:40:14] right?
[5:40:15] >> Yes. They would still continue to use
[5:40:17] » Yes. They would still continue to use
[5:40:17] that gas hall road which is our driveway
[5:40:19] and then the access road up here would
[5:40:21] be unencumbered by all those gas line
[5:40:23] easements and the issues that were
[5:40:25] related to them.
[5:40:26] >> Okay. So 750,000 is what he needs.
[5:40:29] » Okay. So 750,000 is what he needs.
[5:40:29] >> Yeah. I do I was coming in today willing
[5:40:31] » Yeah. I do I was coming in today willing
[5:40:31] to go up to the full 5 million. So if
[5:40:34] you think only that's 3.25 is sufficient
[5:40:37] then I'm I'm definitely okay.
[5:40:38] >> I think I think that's enough to get us
[5:40:40] » I think I think that's enough to get us
[5:40:40] through this next year. I I think that's
[5:40:42] that's
[5:40:43] >> and then the rest next year whatever's
[5:40:44] » and then the rest next year whatever's
[5:40:44] left.
[5:40:44] >> Yeah. And then Mike to go to the mayor's
[5:40:47] » Yeah. And then Mike to go to the mayor's
[5:40:47] kind of comment about, you know, your
[5:40:50] guys' ability. Where does Belchip and
[5:40:53] Associates sit with the amount of work?
[5:40:54] This is going to be a heavy engineering
[5:40:57] prepping for construction year. Can you
[5:40:59] guys handle all that? What is your
[5:41:01] response to that?
[5:41:01] >> Yeah, we we've we've got um eight eight
[5:41:04] » Yeah, we we've we've got um eight eight
[5:41:04] full-time folks there at the office now.
[5:41:07] Back when we used to work for you guys
[5:41:10] in earnest, we we had three besides
[5:41:13] George. So, we're capable. We've we've
[5:41:16] uh we're not working for the town of
[5:41:18] Ponder anymore, who was a big um uh
[5:41:21] client of ours up and that's that's
[5:41:24] within the last 3 months. So, we we have
[5:41:26] the manpower to put on these projects.
[5:41:28] >> So, there's nothing we budgeted for this
[5:41:29] » So, there's nothing we budgeted for this
[5:41:29] year that you would not be able to hit
[5:41:31] the necessary deadlines to achieve.
[5:41:32] >> No, we can we can we can achieve
[5:41:34] » No, we can we can we can achieve

[5:41:37] » Okay. I just want to make sure. And then
[5:41:37] one other thing, you weren't here last

[5:41:42] hall future vision um potentially
[5:41:45] considering actually the front of this
[5:41:47] public works land for a town hall or
[5:41:51] somewhere else in the city. Do you think
[5:41:53] that's enough to get us going? Um we
[5:41:55] didn't want to spend a ton because we
[5:41:57] want to work on our strategic plan, but
[5:41:59] we also wanted to put funds available
[5:42:01] for you to start considering locations
[5:42:02] in the town um and more prepare us for
[5:42:05] next year.
[5:42:06] >> Yeah. And we've got an associate that
[5:42:08] » Yeah. And we've got an associate that
[5:42:08] might be a good um source for some of
[5:42:10] that work, too. But yeah, 100 100,000 is
[5:42:13] more than adequate to put something
[5:42:15] together. You're talking about for this
[5:42:16] piece right here?
[5:42:17] >> Yeah. Well, it was it was an idea.
[5:42:21] » Yeah. Well, it was it was an idea.

[5:44:06] Take a calculator.
[5:44:09] Take $750,000. Divide $38,000
[5:44:13] into it. And how many years will it take
[5:44:17] to recoup that money? If you're doing it
[5:44:20] only for building services,
[5:44:22] >> not just for them. Last future
[5:44:24] » not just for them. Last future
[5:44:24] development [clears throat] for that for

[5:44:49] got up and stood at the podium and gave
[5:44:51] a big presentation of why
[5:44:54] we cannot do this up here because of
[5:44:57] utilities, those gas ements and stuff
[5:44:59] and he said we could not do that up
[5:45:00] there and it's not good. So that's why
[5:45:02] they came up with this new road right
[5:45:05] here.

[5:45:41] three of you now.
[5:45:41] >> So then there So
[5:45:42] » So then there So
[5:45:42] >> So James, Mr. Tucker, would you explain
[5:45:46] » So James, Mr. Tucker, would you explain
[5:45:46] to that why that road is needed?
[5:45:49] >> All right. This road was was put on here
[5:45:51] » All right. This road was was put on here
[5:45:51] and was suggested because of the gas
[5:45:55] lines that are in the way to make this
[5:45:57] for public access to get down to it. Gas
[5:45:59] lines, we have not ever come up with an
[5:46:01] exact number, but the uh based on what
[5:46:04] engineering knows about the typical
[5:46:06] rules of crossing gas lines, they are
[5:46:08] not going to let us construct a
[5:46:09] permanent access road over at least one
[5:46:11] of the gathering lines. and we'd have to
[5:46:13] cross the line at at least like a 90
[5:46:15] degree angle, which could be possible,
[5:46:18] but the utilities that have to be
[5:46:20] extended along that road would only ever
[5:46:22] service the public works building um and
[5:46:25] really nobody else. And the cost
[5:46:28] difference, I mean, there is a cost
[5:46:29] difference to provide them on this other
[5:46:31] road, but more people would benefit from
[5:46:33] them. So, that's what we suggest. would
[5:46:35] benefit what people
[5:46:37] >> any the there's a neighboring piece of
[5:46:39] » any the there's a neighboring piece of
[5:46:39] property if things ever develop there
[5:46:40] they could utilize the water and sewer
[5:46:42] as well and anything else
[5:46:46] you to
[5:46:47] >> do a development for the other property
[5:46:50] » do a development for the other property
[5:46:50] >> that was just one of the possible um
[5:46:51] » that was just one of the possible um
[5:46:52] positives of being proactive is what is
[5:46:53] I think what we were saying
[5:46:54] >> which is something this city has
[5:46:55] » which is something this city has
[5:46:55] struggled with
[5:46:56] >> I see
[5:47:00] I'm just asking you know the use of
[5:47:02] money
[5:47:02] >> that's a great question because we want
[5:47:04] » that's a great question because we want
[5:47:04] to make sure that Yeah, the money that's
[5:47:05] being spent is going to be a useful way
[5:47:08] to spend it. So,
[5:47:10] >> uh the other thing I want to mention is
[5:47:11] » uh the other thing I want to mention is
[5:47:12] about thinking about uh putting building
[5:47:15] services there. Now, that whole idea,
[5:47:17] that old compound and that whole idea
[5:47:19] emanated from the mayor years ago
[5:47:23] and uh the idea when it could been we
[5:47:27] were looking at thinking that it could
[5:47:29] be put on the west side of the existing
[5:47:33] public works building that I I thought,
[5:47:36] well, you know, that would be a
[5:47:40] we could put building services up there
[5:47:42] with them. we could save $38,000 a year,
[5:47:46] 36 at that time.
[5:47:49] Well, what we've learned or actually
[5:47:53] public works and planning and everybody
[5:47:55] learned here in the last few months, you
[5:47:57] can't put it up here on the west side.
[5:48:01] So that's why it's on the east side now.
[5:48:05] And with regard to building services
[5:48:09] over there, then that becomes that is a
[5:48:13] an office used by the public and that
[5:48:16] becomes almost a hidden spot. The
[5:48:21] as far as ease of access and service to
[5:48:25] uh those folks who get permits and
[5:48:28] building inspections and things of that
[5:48:30] nature,
[5:48:32] you can't find a better place than where
[5:48:34] it's at right now.
[5:48:35] >> Were you saying that was 37? What was
[5:48:37] » Were you saying that was 37? What was
[5:48:37] the amount?
[5:48:38] >> 38,000.

[5:48:41] » How much? 38,000 is what he's used
[5:48:41] >> currently. It's 44,400 and that doesn't
[5:48:43] » currently. It's 44,400 and that doesn't
[5:48:43] include the the insurance. Is that I was
[5:48:45] talking about the public the rental?
[5:48:46] >> I'm not talking about just the rental of
[5:48:48] » I'm not talking about just the rental of
[5:48:48] the
[5:48:48] >> That's what she's talking about.

[5:48:56] then there's is there also liability? Is

[5:49:01] » But also all the storage fees that we
[5:49:01] have for the library, for parks board,
[5:49:03] for
[5:49:04] >> No, not I'm talking about very
[5:49:05] » No, not I'm talking about very
[5:49:06] specifically building services. I am
[5:49:07] too. But you were talking about $38,000
[5:49:09] that we would save.
[5:49:11] >> It's 44,000 include all
[5:49:14] » It's 44,000 include all
[5:49:14] >> 44,400.
[5:49:15] » 44,400.
[5:49:15] >> I know.
[5:49:16] » I know.
[5:49:16] >> Also, all the storage fees took right
[5:49:19] » Also, all the storage fees took right
[5:49:19] now groups.
[5:49:20] >> Well, no, that's already in that was
[5:49:22] » Well, no, that's already in that was
[5:49:22] never uh building services would not be
[5:49:25] providing storage area. I'm talking
[5:49:27] about just the relocation.
[5:49:28] >> Those buildings

[5:49:35] » Yeah. So, this is going to wipe out like
[5:49:35] $50,000 plus a year that we're spending
[5:49:38] right now.
[5:49:39] >> I'm looking at rent.

[5:49:44] what I'm saying. Can we get back to the

[5:49:58] public we're discussing this building.

[5:50:04] bringing it down.
[5:50:05] >> You know what? I I see the bias here.
[5:50:07] » You know what? I I see the bias here.
[5:50:08] Anyway, it's not
[5:50:09] >> If I took 700
[5:50:11] » If I took 700
[5:50:11] >> $50,000 and divided 30 or $44,000 a year
[5:50:17] » $50,000 and divided 30 or $44,000 a year
[5:50:17] into it, it takes 17 years to get your
[5:50:19] money back.
[5:50:20] >> The bias here is that we don't want a
[5:50:22] » The bias here is that we don't want a
[5:50:22] horse arena and we don't want a
[5:50:23] community garden. I know those are what
[5:50:25] have you have planned for that that
[5:50:26] land. But what we decided that's what
[5:50:28] that land was bought for.
[5:50:29] >> But we have decided that absolutely not
[5:50:31] » But we have decided that absolutely not
[5:50:31] true.
[5:50:31] >> It is true. I was on capital and that
[5:50:33] » It is true. I was on capital and that
[5:50:33] was purchased and that is not true. That
[5:50:35] was not true statement.
[5:50:36] >> It is true.
[5:50:37] » It is true.
[5:50:37] >> That might be why you are telling people
[5:50:39] » That might be why you are telling people
[5:50:39] that absolutely not property for us.
[5:50:43] >> An executive session was the only time
[5:50:45] » An executive session was the only time
[5:50:45] in question was ever mentioned until a
[5:50:46] public town hall meeting where it was
[5:50:48] talked about. But at council when I was
[5:50:50] on it and we talked about it, it was

[5:51:16] want to talk about this.
[5:51:19] >> I'm talking about this has very
[5:51:21] » I'm talking about this has very
[5:51:21] specifically relates to the budget. It's
[5:51:24] investing money in a an element for a
[5:51:28] particular reason. It's all about money.
[5:51:30] That's what this budget is about.
[5:51:32] >> No matter what we're building, the
[5:51:33] » No matter what we're building, the
[5:51:33] public works office, which they need the
[5:51:35] road to access and for the residents to
[5:51:38] be able to access that drop off point. I
[5:51:40] forget what you referred to it as, which
[5:51:42] means we have to build that other road.
[5:51:45] >> Mr.
[5:51:46] » Mr.
[5:51:46] >> Well, that's that's not particularly
[5:51:48] » Well, that's that's not particularly

[5:52:00] >> No, you can ask questions. I'm just
[5:52:01] » No, you can ask questions. I'm just

[5:52:13] » I was not saying while ago you couldn't
[5:52:13] ask a question. That was not my my
[5:52:16] statement. I was just referencing.
[5:52:19] Thanks. Thanks for coming back. I was
[5:52:20] just referencing that about a month ago,
[5:52:23] Mr. Tucker gave a long presentation
[5:52:25] during city council meeting, an update
[5:52:27] on the public works building. He told
[5:52:29] why we needed the new road and why we
[5:52:31] could not use the old road because of
[5:52:33] utilities. I was just telling you that
[5:52:36] to save all this discussion when you
[5:52:38] answer that question that he already had
[5:52:40] a presentation for it and you can ask
[5:52:44] him at a later time why that road is not
[5:52:45] done, why we need this new road. He gave
[5:52:47] a long drawn out multiple PowerPoint
[5:52:49] deal of why the road is. So
[5:52:51] >> that's good.
[5:52:52] » that's good.
[5:52:52] >> That's that's what I was trying I was
[5:52:53] » That's that's what I was trying I was
[5:52:53] not saying I wouldn't say you could ask
[5:52:54] questions. You can
[5:52:56] >> I was just reference he already said
[5:52:58] » I was just reference he already said
[5:52:58] that and we
[5:52:59] >> I appreciate that.
[5:53:00] » I appreciate that.
[5:53:00] >> Yes, sir.
[5:53:00] » Yes, sir.
[5:53:00] >> Thank you very much.
[5:53:03] » Thank you very much.
[5:53:03] >> All right. Okay. Are we done with
[5:53:06] » All right. Okay. Are we done with
[5:53:06] facilities?
[5:53:07] >> Yes. So, we're not going to talk about a
[5:53:09] » Yes. So, we're not going to talk about a
[5:53:10] library and the remodel of this one, but
[5:53:13] we're going to talk about let's build a
[5:53:16] monument called a city hall complex. Is
[5:53:18] that
[5:53:18] >> Well, you said you were going to talk
[5:53:19] » Well, you said you were going to talk
[5:53:19] about the library.
[5:53:20] >> 25 to $30 million. That's what you're
[5:53:22] » 25 to $30 million. That's what you're
[5:53:22] talking about.
[5:53:23] >> You said we were going to come back and
[5:53:24] » You said we were going to come back and
[5:53:24] talk about the library. We're not doing
[5:53:25] that.
[5:53:25] >> Are we going to talk about the library?
[5:53:27] » Are we going to talk about the library?
[5:53:27] That's what you said.
[5:53:28] >> The library The librarian said last
[5:53:30] » The library The librarian said last
[5:53:30] librarian has said multiple times that
[5:53:31] we she wants to wait. The librarians or
[5:53:34] I mean, sorry. Anyway, the library man I
[5:53:37] mean did you Marcy?
[5:53:39] >> I didn't get the final decision on the
[5:53:41] » I didn't get the final decision on the
[5:53:41] public works. Are we adding 750,000 to
[5:53:44] >> for now? Yes.
[5:53:45] » for now? Yes.
[5:53:45] >> Okay.
[5:53:46] » Okay.
[5:53:46] >> Our our
[5:53:47] » Our our
[5:53:47] >> Okay. Library is the thought was
[5:53:52] » Okay. Library is the thought was
[5:53:52] >> that this larger library almost double
[5:53:55] » that this larger library almost double
[5:53:55] the size of what we have now can be
[5:53:58] built. they will fully utilize every as
[5:54:01] inch of it and offer the citizenry
[5:54:06] much more and also it consolidates their
[5:54:10] programs. They don't have to be walking
[5:54:12] out of the library across the parking
[5:54:14] lots to come into this room. This what
[5:54:17] they use this room for can be contained
[5:54:19] in that one building that one building.
[5:54:23] They can rain or shine they do this. So
[5:54:27] then that frees up the existing library.
[5:54:30] The existing library is a little over
[5:54:32] 4,000 square ft. It's much bigger than
[5:54:35] these offices over here, but one wing of
[5:54:38] it could be dedicated for council
[5:54:41] chambers. That eliminates the swapping
[5:54:43] out of chairs and furniture and
[5:54:45] arrangements in here that happen all the
[5:54:47] time for every meeting we have. You
[5:54:50] know, PNC, this meeting, that meeting,
[5:54:52] that meeting. So that would eliminate
[5:54:54] public works efforts.
[5:54:56] The also a council chamber in that same
[5:54:59] wing could be provided for the count or
[5:55:02] not council chambers but a boardroom for
[5:55:05] executive session meetings could be
[5:55:08] included. The other wing
[5:55:12] could be all city offices. Additional
[5:55:15] offices that is needed. It's needed now.
[5:55:19] It would retain these existing offices,
[5:55:22] but it then it has the capability that
[5:55:26] this existing could be coupled
[5:55:29] structurally with that library to make a
[5:55:32] much larger city hall office area.
[5:55:37] >> What's the proposed location of the
[5:55:38] » What's the proposed location of the
[5:55:38] library? There's no land purchase
[5:55:40] currently.
[5:55:40] >> No, no, ma'am.
[5:55:41] » No, no, ma'am.
[5:55:41] >> So, what what where would the library
[5:55:43] » So, what what where would the library
[5:55:43] possibly be located? the
[5:55:47] me see if I have that.
[5:55:49] >> Mr. Mayor, I I guess I have a problem
[5:55:51] » Mr. Mayor, I I guess I have a problem
[5:55:51] with this because the our I mean I think
[5:55:53] we do need a new library. I'm 100% on
[5:55:54] board with that. But we need to think
[5:55:57] realization. Right now, our librarian,
[5:55:59] our head librarian, Miss Kelly, has said
[5:56:02] last two years,
[5:56:04] we want to wait until at least a year
[5:56:06] that Fort Worth is open down the street.
[5:56:08] See how that impacts us and see what we
[5:56:10] need to do for that. if it really hurts
[5:56:13] us, then we'll think about what we need
[5:56:16] to do. Uh, but she said, "We need to
[5:56:19] wait." She has said that multiple times.
[5:56:21] And then, and I know you want a new
[5:56:23] library. We all do. We do. We know this
[5:56:26] one's We know this one's too small. It
[5:56:28] was built good years ago, but it's too
[5:56:30] small now, but right now, we just we
[5:56:32] need to wait. And she has said we need
[5:56:34] to wait. But I know you're full throttle
[5:56:35] on this.
[5:56:38] >> Where is that?
[5:56:40] » Where is that?
[5:56:40] >> So,
[5:56:41] » So,
[5:56:41] So, you're taking out some houses.
[5:56:45] >> Where's this park?
[5:56:46] » Where's this park?
[5:56:46] >> Yeah.
[5:56:47] » Yeah.
[5:56:47] >> So, is this my property that I own?
[5:56:49] » So, is this my property that I own?
[5:56:49] >> Is that your property?
[5:56:52] » Is that your property?
[5:56:52] >> Is that my property that I own on Gamble
[5:56:54] » Is that my property that I own on Gamble
[5:56:54] Street?

[5:59:06] on the library here?

[5:59:11] I love the library. I wish it had been

[5:59:16] understand probably when it was built
[5:59:18] there were certain constraints and only
[5:59:19] so much money. I get all that and it
[5:59:22] does need to be bigger if we're going to
[5:59:23] continue to have a library for it to do
[5:59:25] all the things that they would like to
[5:59:27] do. But
[5:59:30] we don't have $8 million to build a
[5:59:32] library that nobody's asking for that we
[5:59:34] don't know the impact of what that other
[5:59:36] library is going to be. So, at the very
[5:59:37] least, our library project is at least
[5:59:40] three to five years out before we would
[5:59:42] actually be building it. So, I don't
[5:59:44] think it's appropriate to be having an
[5:59:46] argument right now.

[6:28:03] week about that the fire fire engines
[6:28:06] that we need to replace them every like
[6:28:07] 10 years. Is that is that correct? And I
[6:28:10] think we mentioned last week that
[6:28:11] they're like at their 10 year mark. Is

[6:28:20] We're we're slower than most busier
[6:28:23] departments. So we're going to last
[6:28:25] longer than like city of Fort Worth is
[6:28:27] going to last. So I believe in this one
[6:28:28] I projected a 12-year replacement
[6:28:31] >> on the engine and I'm at a 15
[6:28:34] » on the engine and I'm at a 15
[6:28:34] >> year replacement on the ladder truck.

[6:28:38] inflation in these numbers also already
[6:28:41] just to be prepared. I update this
[6:28:44] pretty regularly as I'm looking at wear
[6:28:46] and tear on our apparatus and also as I
[6:28:49] get numbers from neighboring departments
[6:28:51] that are ordering apparatus right now.
[6:28:54] >> Will we ever need three fire engines or
[6:28:55] » Will we ever need three fire engines or
[6:28:55] do you think we'll kind of the way we're

[6:29:01] one and a lighter one or do you think
[6:29:02] we'll ever need like two small and one
[6:29:04] big? the uh
[6:29:08] that's where I'll be trying to we we'll
[6:29:10] be talking about that next year when I
[6:29:12] ask about this conversion to a type
[6:29:14] three. It's a small pumping apparatus.
[6:29:17] Um, part of that is it helped preserve
[6:29:20] the life of our larger apparatus and
[6:29:23] other part is if we ever remove
[6:29:26] ourselves from the ESD or if the ESD
[6:29:29] decides to take their current tanker
[6:29:31] back, which is the third large apparatus
[6:29:33] we have in our we would need a another
[6:29:36] vehicle. So, uh, so it's it's planned
[6:29:39] there. Uh, things can move and like I
[6:29:41] said, it gets changed regularly based
[6:29:43] off the needs.

[6:30:22] the uh lease payment option.
[6:30:24] >> Yeah. So there was a backhoe and a large
[6:30:27] » Yeah. So there was a backhoe and a large
[6:30:27] uh enclosed tractor. It's to replace two
[6:30:30] >> are in the budget presently and that is
[6:30:34] » are in the budget presently and that is
[6:30:34] reflected by using the lease purchase
[6:30:36] program.
[6:30:38] >> Perfect. Thank you.
[6:30:40] » Perfect. Thank you.
[6:30:40] the uh janitorial vehicle that uh
[6:30:45] uh Mr. Tucker is speaking of, that's in
[6:30:49] the budget and that's a
[6:30:52] full purchase price,
[6:30:54] >> correct?
[6:30:55] » correct?
[6:30:55] >> I think around $20,000 or something of
[6:30:58] » I think around $20,000 or something of
[6:30:58] that nature.
[6:31:01] >> And that covered all his request.
[6:31:04] » And that covered all his request.
[6:31:04] >> Uh there was also a dump trailer in
[6:31:06] » Uh there was also a dump trailer in
[6:31:06] there as well.
[6:31:06] >> But that's in the budget as well.
[6:31:08] » But that's in the budget as well.
[6:31:08] >> Everything was in the budget. Yeah.
[6:31:10] » Everything was in the budget. Yeah.
[6:31:10] Um, so all of the I'm I think the point
[6:31:14] is all the public works capital
[6:31:16] equipment request are presently in the
[6:31:18] budget.
[6:31:21] >> So, mayor, before we go on to tax rate,
[6:31:23] » So, mayor, before we go on to tax rate,
[6:31:23] there's two things I wanted to go back
[6:31:24] to, which is the water impact fee and
[6:31:26] the sewer impact fee. Yes,
[6:31:27] >> they did pull that up. Um, the water was
[6:31:30] » they did pull that up. Um, the water was
[6:31:30] 2,200 and change and you're projecting
[6:31:32] 80 households. So, that would mean that
[6:31:34] this number
[6:31:35] >> What page are you on?
[6:31:36] » What page are you on?
[6:31:36] >> I'm so sorry. 223.
[6:31:38] » I'm so sorry. 223.
[6:31:38] >> Thank you.
[6:31:39] » Thank you.
[6:31:39] Um, that does mean that this should be
[6:31:41] more about half of last year's, not a
[6:31:43] fourth, actually a little below a
[6:31:45] fourth. It would be more about the
[6:31:47] 245ish
[6:31:49] range.
[6:31:50] >> I'll confirm that calculation
[6:31:53] » I'll confirm that calculation
[6:31:53] Monday
[6:31:55] and uh that correction can still be
[6:31:58] made.
[6:31:58] >> Okay. And same, you'll look into the
[6:31:59] » Okay. And same, you'll look into the
[6:31:59] sewer impact and then
[6:32:01] >> both both impact these. And then going
[6:32:03] » both both impact these. And then going
[6:32:03] back and maybe we look at this after we
[6:32:05] speak taxes, but I I really do want us
[6:32:07] to circle back at some point to page
[6:32:09] 193, the 2022 combo tax.
[6:32:14] Um, the one that we're paying more
[6:32:16] interest than we have principal because
[6:32:19] if we paid that off this next year, if
[6:32:22] that's an option, we would literally
[6:32:24] make we'd break even the following year.
[6:32:27] like it would be a significant a very
[6:32:29] quick turnaround to paying that off if
[6:32:31] it's an option to do. So I've just
[6:32:33] >> Did you say pay 223
[6:32:35] » Did you say pay 223
[6:32:35] >> 193
[6:32:36] » 193
[6:32:36] >> 193
[6:32:38] » 193
[6:32:38] >> we have an interest payment of 189,000
[6:32:41] » we have an interest payment of 189,000
[6:32:41] and a principal payment or of 165. What
[6:32:45] is the total on that
[6:32:48] on that item?
[6:32:54] I guess I just realized that's not the
[6:32:56] total amount.
[6:32:58] >> 354, I'm sorry, 860.
[6:33:01] » 354, I'm sorry, 860.
[6:33:01] >> So, I mean, still that's
[6:33:05] » So, I mean, still that's
[6:33:05] so we're supposed to pay this off in two
[6:33:06] years then.
[6:33:09] >> No, no, no.
[6:33:12] » No, no, no.
[6:33:12] >> Okay. Sorry.
[6:33:17] » Oh, because we're paying that much
[6:33:18] interest. Wow.
[6:33:22] So the total due or owed 354 and change
[6:33:29] which we pay that amount in one year
[6:33:32] anyways.
[6:33:34] So we could literally just pay it off
[6:33:35] instead of paying interest. I mean can
[6:33:37] we pay it off?
[6:33:39] >> Uh no
[6:33:41] » Uh no
[6:33:41] pay
[6:33:45] » oh that's
[6:33:47] a million bond issue. So you
[6:33:51] Okay, I see it now. I see it.
[6:34:01] » I thought you were saying we owed 354.
[6:34:03] >> Yeah. On on page 207. So, it's about 15
[6:34:08] » Yeah. On on page 207. So, it's about 15
[6:34:08] million you still owe.
[6:34:10] >> Okay.
[6:34:10] » Okay.
[6:34:10] >> And I don't I don't believe there's a
[6:34:12] » And I don't I don't believe there's a
[6:34:12] call provision quite this soon.
[6:34:14] >> No, you're good. We don't have that type
[6:34:15] » No, you're good. We don't have that type
[6:34:15] of money anyways. I was [laughter] it
[6:34:18] was just now it makes sense why we're
[6:34:20] paying so much in interest.
[6:34:21] >> Yes.
[6:34:21] » Yes.
[6:34:21] >> Cuz it's a significant loan.
[6:34:23] » Cuz it's a significant loan.
[6:34:23] >> Yeah.
[6:34:25] » Yeah.
[6:34:25] >> Does that answer your question on the
[6:34:26] » Does that answer your question on the
[6:34:26] bonds?
[6:34:27] >> It does. Was this the bond pulled for
[6:34:30] » It does. Was this the bond pulled for
[6:34:30] that we were speaking about earlier?
[6:34:31] >> Yeah.
[6:34:32] » Yeah.
[6:34:32] >> This is the bond part of part of the
[6:34:35] » This is the bond part of part of the
[6:34:35] expenditures on the projects are fund 26
[6:34:38] and fund 29.
[6:34:41] » Sorry I am wring that down.
[6:34:45] Can you actually by chance mark that on
[6:34:48] here when you do the final run through
[6:34:49] of here for the bonds? Can you mark the
[6:34:52] funds that the money is in? So like for
[6:34:55] this item on page 207, you said fund 26,
[6:34:58] fund 29. Could you
[6:35:00] >> Yes.
[6:35:01] » Yes.
[6:35:01] >> In 26 she said.
[6:35:04] » In 26 she said.
[6:35:04] >> Yes. the one on um if if you'll look on
[6:35:09] » Yes. the one on um if if you'll look on
[6:35:09] page let's see
[6:35:12] look at the one on page 199
[6:35:15] up at the top it shows tax supported
[6:35:18] 2809%.
[6:35:20] >> Mhm.
[6:35:21] » Mhm.
[6:35:21] >> That's the general fund or the the tax
[6:35:24] » That's the general fund or the the tax
[6:35:24] supported piece.
[6:35:25] >> Okay.
[6:35:26] » Okay.
[6:35:26] >> And if you look at 20 page 207 it shows
[6:35:29] » And if you look at 20 page 207 it shows
[6:35:29] 71.91.
[6:35:31] That's the water sewer piece. Now, for
[6:35:34] the purpose of the bond issue, that's
[6:35:36] one bond issue.
[6:35:38] >> But since it's being funded separately,
[6:35:41] » But since it's being funded separately,
[6:35:41] we don't put the whole burden on the
[6:35:43] tax. If we put 17 million burden on the
[6:35:46] tax, it would be
[6:35:48] pretty high debt service rate.
[6:35:50] >> No. Understood. Can we just add a little
[6:35:51] » No. Understood. Can we just add a little
[6:35:51] note here so that people that don't
[6:35:53] attend these meetings can understand a
[6:35:55] little bit more?
[6:35:55] >> Yes. The one on page 207 would be fund
[6:35:58] » Yes. The one on page 207 would be fund
[6:35:58] 29
[6:36:00] and the one on page 199 is um fund 26.
[6:36:05] And when I say that that's the projects
[6:36:08] that were
[6:36:08] >> correct.
[6:36:09] » correct.
[6:36:09] >> Yeah. Approved for those.
[6:36:11] » Yeah. Approved for those.
[6:36:11] >> Maybe note projects um or bond funds
[6:36:15] » Maybe note projects um or bond funds
[6:36:15] projects under fun 29.
[6:36:17] >> Yes, I can put that. Let me take you
[6:36:19] » Yes, I can put that. Let me take you
[6:36:19] through uh um a little history here on
[6:36:24] this uh on the screen. I have um the
[6:36:30] bond um the 2016
[6:36:35] 2020 2016 bonds what that was used for.
[6:36:39] It did refund uh earlier certificates of
[6:36:42] obligation and
[6:36:44] um
[6:36:46] it was
[6:36:52] for water and wastewater projects.
[6:36:58] The 20
[6:37:01] 2015 series bonds were issued
[6:37:06] for water and sewer pro improvements
[6:37:11] and ADC's pay portion of that.
[6:37:15] the 20 2016
[6:37:18] series bonds here. The maturity date
[6:37:21] being 2031 was very specifically for the
[6:37:24] ladder truck.
[6:37:29] The 2017 series bonds
[6:37:33] was for the fire engine.
[6:37:38] Uh that wasn't the ladder truck. That
[6:37:40] was just the larger fire engine. Right.
[6:37:43] >> Correct.
[6:37:45] » Correct.
[6:37:45] What what number truck do you call that?
[6:37:49] >> So it's our whole station is station
[6:37:52] » So it's our whole station is station
[6:37:52] 128. So it's truck 128 and engine 128.
[6:37:56] It's our two main out apparatus.
[6:37:59] >> Okay.
[6:38:00] » Okay.
[6:38:00] >> So they are fairly new in overall.
[6:38:04] » So they are fairly new in overall.
[6:38:04] uh the 20 2022
[6:38:07] series bonds that was for streets
[6:38:11] and that's the one the $17 million bond
[6:38:15] we've spoke of uh for streets water
[6:38:19] wastewater the fire administration
[6:38:22] expansion that we're working on now and
[6:38:25] also uh Keller Hasslet Road it ends up
[6:38:29] that uh we were net positive on that
[6:38:31] project so we spent no bond money on
[6:38:34] that project.
[6:38:38] Uh
[6:38:40] the 2020 series bonds, type A and type B
[6:38:46] persist participated in and I think that
[6:38:50] was a nominal $3 million a piece. A
[6:38:55] total of $6 million cash put towards
[6:38:58] that project. Uh that's what those that
[6:39:02] uh 2020 series was about. But that's
[6:39:05] just the what these bonds that you're
[6:39:07] looking at what they were used for.
[6:39:11] [snorts]
[6:39:19] » Okay.
[6:39:21] Marcy.
[6:39:22] >> Yes, sir.
[6:39:24] » Yes, sir.
[6:39:24] Right now. Okay. Uh Marcy has put in
[6:39:28] front of you, I believe, on everybody's
[6:39:30] chair.
[6:39:31] >> Yes.
[6:39:31] » Yes.
[6:39:32] >> Here is a a summary of all the changes
[6:39:35] » Here is a a summary of all the changes
[6:39:35] that made thus far in our budget.
[6:39:40] And um Margie, you can correct me if I'm
[6:39:44] wrong. Our budget for this 20 26 27
[6:39:53] meaning all our expenditures
[6:39:56] is $18,192,778.
[6:40:04] Our revenues
[6:40:07] >> is looking at the general fund.
[6:40:09] » is looking at the general fund.
[6:40:09] >> He's he's Yes, he's on the general fund.
[6:40:12] » He's he's Yes, he's on the general fund.
[6:40:12] He's adding operating expenditures,
[6:40:15] capital outlay, transfers out, and the
[6:40:19] contingency fund
[6:40:22] to get that
[6:40:22] >> all
[6:40:24] » all
[6:40:24] >> to get what number? Sorry.
[6:40:27] » to get what number? Sorry.
[6:40:27] >> 18 million.
[6:40:28] » 18 million.
[6:40:28] >> To get what number, sir?
[6:40:30] » To get what number, sir?
[6:40:30] >> 18,192,778.
[6:40:36] Is that what you got, Marcy?
[6:40:39] >> I actually didn't get around to adding
[6:40:40] » I actually didn't get around to adding
[6:40:40] it up. Our
[6:40:45] revenues
[6:40:47] that is the sum of our at the very top
[6:40:50] of the page our operating revenues and
[6:40:53] our transfers in
[6:40:57] that is a total of 11 million222,356.
[6:41:08] That's a difference of $6,970,422.
[6:41:17] Difference being
[6:41:19] that's what has to be made up
[6:41:23] and your
[6:41:26] only partic your only source there is
[6:41:29] property tax.
[6:41:32] That's not going to happen.
[6:41:34] So this is where Okay. What do we cut?
[6:41:42] » Pardon?
[6:41:44] >> I said which is again why we need more
[6:41:45] » I said which is again why we need more
[6:41:45] sales tax.
[6:41:47] >> Well, it's there's a big list on here.
[6:41:51] » Well, it's there's a big list on here.
[6:41:51] There's a very big list of projects on
[6:41:54] here. So this is uh this is the
[6:41:58] difficult part.
[6:42:01] Living within our means.
[6:42:03] >> [snorts]
[6:42:09] » Now, uh, I think now would be a good
[6:42:12] time to let's introduce the, uh,
[6:42:19] >> rates,
[6:42:20] » rates,
[6:42:20] >> certified tax roles, the rates.
[6:42:24] » certified tax roles, the rates.
[6:42:24] Uh, one thing you'll notice in here is
[6:42:27] the
[6:42:29] um,
[6:42:35] our tax rates have have not dropped.
[6:42:38] typically in you know in the past years
[6:42:42] is that uh for
[6:42:46] to gain the same revenue from the year
[6:42:49] prior you would see a lower tax rate the
[6:42:53] no new revenue rate would drop but
[6:42:56] that's not the case this year and I
[6:42:59] think many entities throughout North
[6:43:01] Texas or Texas as a whole has
[6:43:03] experienced this I know Fort Worth has
[6:43:06] very specifically The Tarant County EDC
[6:43:11] emergency district has experienced this
[6:43:15] is that valuations
[6:43:18] fell.
[6:43:21] The valuations in within Hassid have
[6:43:24] fallen
[6:43:25] and that's what drives that percentage
[6:43:27] rate up.
[6:43:30] So just understand that
[6:43:40] Get this stuff out of my way.
[6:44:03] Marcy, you want to go ahead and just
[6:44:04] start? Go ahead and go over the uh
[6:44:08] tax rates.
[6:44:09] >> Yes. At each of your spots, you should
[6:44:12] » Yes. At each of your spots, you should
[6:44:12] have a copy of the It looks like this.
[6:44:15] It's the 2026
[6:44:17] uh tax rate worksheet. This is um the
[6:44:22] computation for all the rates and um
[6:44:27] this computation was done for us by um
[6:44:30] Tarant County
[6:44:32] and it's based off the certified
[6:44:33] valuations that um are received from the
[6:44:38] uh Tarant appraisal district and the
[6:44:41] Denton County Appraisal District. We do
[6:44:43] have some property that's in Denton
[6:44:44] County, so we add them both together to
[6:44:48] get our total valuation.
[6:44:51] Um, if you'll look at this big sheet
[6:44:54] that I gave you, um, make sure on the
[6:44:58] increase the third column from the
[6:45:00] right, make sure your copy,
[6:45:03] write down where there's a blue 8%, make
[6:45:06] sure there's a 7.99 figure up above it.
[6:45:09] and that way you'll know you have the
[6:45:10] correct sheet we're looking at.
[6:45:14] Um, so our according to the calculations
[6:45:18] from Tarant County,
[6:45:21] our total no new revenue rate is 339405
[6:45:27] and that is shown in blue under the tax
[6:45:32] rate column M ins total. That's the
[6:45:35] total no new revenue rate.
[6:45:38] If you adopted that rate, um you would
[6:45:42] basically according to the way they do
[6:45:45] the calculations, you would assume that
[6:45:47] there's no increase in your tax rate
[6:45:50] even though it is an increase in the tax
[6:45:52] rate, but it's it's gets you the same
[6:45:55] amount of dollars.
[6:45:57] Um so basically you have in your tax
[6:46:01] rate you have M and INS. So the M is
[6:46:05] your maintenance fees and that's when
[6:46:07] we're looking at the general fund column
[6:46:11] or summary.
[6:46:13] The um property tax number is 6.2
[6:46:20] um 6 point or 62 6,242,000
[6:46:24] is what um the mayor proposed for the
[6:46:27] budget on there.
[6:46:28] >> What was Can you repeat that? I'm sorry.
[6:46:30] » What was Can you repeat that? I'm sorry.
[6:46:30] that six mill on this on this sheet he's
[6:46:33] proposed 6,242
[6:46:36] to come from property tax.
[6:46:40] » So on the M that was that's going to
[6:46:43] fall between
[6:46:45] um if you look at the M column and you
[6:46:48] go down about
[6:46:51] oh almost to the end probably three4s
[6:46:53] the way you get to where you see 6.26
[6:46:56] 6.28 28 6.37
[6:46:59] 6256.
[6:47:01] Um so somewhere in that range which is
[6:47:04] um
[6:47:06] the in the voter approval rate range for
[6:47:09] both um the voter approval rate and the
[6:47:12] voter approval rate for cities under
[6:47:14] 30,000.
[6:47:17] Because we're a city under 30,000
[6:47:19] population, we cannot go over this 8%
[6:47:24] rate that I showed you initially in that
[6:47:27] column. And so whenever we have intended
[6:47:29] to
[6:47:30] >> well up against that rate,
[6:47:32] » well up against that rate,
[6:47:32] >> you could with an election
[6:47:33] » you could with an election
[6:47:33] >> we can go over but it's a mandatory
[6:47:36] » we can go over but it's a mandatory
[6:47:36] election.
[6:47:36] >> And where just one more time on you said
[6:47:38] » And where just one more time on you said
[6:47:38] that the mayor's prop on the proposed
[6:47:40] budget where is the that six where is
[6:47:44] that? That's This is on the general fund
[6:47:46] summary
[6:47:46] >> right
[6:47:47] » right
[6:47:47] >> up on the revenues the second line on
[6:47:50] » up on the revenues the second line on
[6:47:50] the right.
[6:47:51] >> Second line 6.242. Thank you ma'am.
[6:47:54] » Second line 6.242. Thank you ma'am.
[6:47:54] >> Yes.
[6:47:54] » Yes.
[6:47:54] >> Can I say a little word?
[6:47:56] » Can I say a little word?
[6:47:56] >> Yes.
[6:47:57] » Yes.
[6:47:57] >> My understanding from the conference
[6:47:59] » My understanding from the conference
[6:47:59] last week and our discussions previously
[6:48:02] if we go over this 8% it triggers an
[6:48:05] election. And what they told us, if I
[6:48:08] heard correctly at the conference, is if
[6:48:11] it goes to an election and the voters
[6:48:15] disprove it, it defaults back to the no
[6:48:18] new revenue rate.
[6:48:20] >> Well, it defaults to the rate I mean the
[6:48:22] » Well, it defaults to the rate I mean the
[6:48:22] revenue that we have the current year.
[6:48:25] >> No new revenue rate.
[6:48:25] » No new revenue rate.
[6:48:26] >> Yeah.
[6:48:27] » Yeah.
[6:48:27] So it would go from 8% all the way back
[6:48:30] to
[6:48:32] uh whatever that is point I mean 0000
[6:48:36] change.
[6:48:37] >> So it go from a an a income of 6.9
[6:48:40] » So it go from a an a income of 6.9
[6:48:40] million roughly back to 6.4. So we'd
[6:48:43] lose 500,000 if we didn't win the
[6:48:46] election.
[6:48:46] >> And our current tax rate is a 3.15450.
[6:48:51] » And our current tax rate is a 3.15450.
[6:48:51] >> Our current one
[6:48:52] » Our current one
[6:48:52] >> Yes.
[6:48:53] » Yes.
[6:48:53] >> current rate is 3.
[6:48:55] » current rate is 3.
[6:48:55] >> Yes.
[6:48:57] » Yes.
[6:48:57] 339.
[6:48:58] >> No, that's what the no new revenue
[6:48:59] » No, that's what the no new revenue
[6:48:59] weight is. But last year the 3 point the
[6:49:03] 315.
[6:49:04] >> Okay. Thank you.
[6:49:06] » Okay. Thank you.
[6:49:06] >> Where does that stack up with other
[6:49:08] » Where does that stack up with other
[6:49:08] towns around here? Do you know?
[6:49:10] >> Yeah, we're very low.
[6:49:11] » Yeah, we're very low.
[6:49:11] >> We're very low
[6:49:12] » We're very low
[6:49:12] >> to to a lot of other towns.
[6:49:14] » to to a lot of other towns.
[6:49:14] >> Okay.
[6:49:16] » Okay.
[6:49:16] >> We're probably currently the of 16. Uh I
[6:49:20] » We're probably currently the of 16. Uh I
[6:49:20] know that I don't I haven't shown it to
[6:49:22] this council, but in previous budget
[6:49:26] meetings um
[6:49:29] and neighborhood meetings
[6:49:32] is I did a graph of or a data of 16 area
[6:49:39] cities and their tax rates.
[6:49:43] Three years ago, we were the lowest and
[6:49:47] had always been the lowest of all 16.
[6:49:50] Uh last year, I believe we were uh
[6:49:54] second lowest.
[6:49:56] Um but also we have a very low debt
[6:49:59] ratio too. Um that's an attractive
[6:50:03] thing. That's why our bond rating went
[6:50:05] up three two years ago. Nonetheless is I
[6:50:10] want to
[6:50:13] mention to you I I I stated that our
[6:50:18] valuations went down. I want to
[6:50:22] last year's valuations actually this
[6:50:25] current fiscal year in that but the
[6:50:28] valuations we received almost a year ago
[6:50:31] that the 2526 budget was worked on those
[6:50:35] valuations was
[6:50:38] 1 bill960
[6:50:40] million678
[6:50:45] uh,647
[6:50:50] Huh?
[6:50:50] >> You said billion.
[6:50:51] » You said billion.
[6:50:51] >> Billion. Uh, that's
[6:50:54] » Billion. Uh, that's
[6:50:54] Yes.
[6:50:56] This year it fell.
[6:51:00] It's 1 bill914
[6:51:02] million180,934.
[6:51:07] It dropped 46 million497,713.
[6:51:16] the valuations did uh that's even
[6:51:20] including the new properties that came
[6:51:23] online.
[6:51:24] >> My case get keeps getting built for me
[6:51:30] » about sales tax.
[6:51:31] >> Sales tax. Sales tax. Sales tax.
[6:51:33] » Sales tax. Sales tax. Sales tax.
[6:51:33] >> No. Well, no. I understand. I understand
[6:51:37] » No. Well, no. I understand. I understand
[6:51:37] you're not as bad off as you may think,
[6:51:40] but we'll get into more of that. Um the
[6:51:45] we're in a there there are things
[6:51:48] happening in
[6:51:50] the world, the nation, um economy, our
[6:51:55] North Texas economy that all contributed
[6:51:59] to this drop in valuation. This is
[6:52:01] nothing unique to North Texas.
[6:52:06] Uh so
[6:52:08] in that
[6:52:11] going back to
[6:52:15] uh understand if we go to this co this
[6:52:17] rate called the dimminimous rate that's
[6:52:19] that magic number that 8% that
[6:52:22] correlates to
[6:52:24] an additional $500,000
[6:52:27] in revenue.
[6:52:30] we have a difference of $6,970,000.
[6:52:38] You're not going to be able to go up on
[6:52:40] taxes enough to meet that difference.
[6:52:42] So, this is going to take a look at
[6:52:46] there are various sources uh or
[6:52:48] mechanisms. Uh one is
[6:52:52] uh bonds. Um, if we have a we got recent
[6:52:56] I think a month old uh schedule bond
[6:53:00] schedule. In fact, I have that right
[6:53:01] here. Let me load it up. Oh, I got it
[6:53:03] already loaded. Let me show that. This
[6:53:06] is a tool in your toolbox.
[6:53:09] Bonds.
[6:53:10] Here you are.
[6:53:12] Um,
[6:53:18] » a $5 million the first column here. Uh
[6:53:22] $5 million 20-year bond
[6:53:26] adds.177
[6:53:31] cents
[6:53:33] to your property to your tax.
[6:53:39] And if you go 10, it's just a multiple.
[6:53:42] Uh
[6:53:45] so for each $5 million
[6:53:48] is
[6:53:52] one not it's less than two cents so 1.8
[6:53:56] 8 cents
[6:53:58] >> Mayor Hoy
[6:53:58] » Mayor Hoy
[6:53:58] >> per five million.
[6:54:00] » per five million.
[6:54:00] >> I might have been the original person
[6:54:01] » I might have been the original person
[6:54:01] that got kind of got us off track, but I
[6:54:02] was wondering if Miss Lamb could
[6:54:04] continue with the worksheet. I might
[6:54:05] have asked the the initial question that
[6:54:09] that interrupted her, but if you if you
[6:54:11] could continue, you were kind of
[6:54:12] explaining the different rates.
[6:54:15] >> So, is that okay to do that now?
[6:54:17] » So, is that okay to do that now?
[6:54:17] >> Is that right? All right. Mayor,
[6:54:19] » Is that right? All right. Mayor,
[6:54:19] >> what's that?
[6:54:19] » what's that?
[6:54:19] >> Can she go back to what she was doing? I
[6:54:21] » Can she go back to what she was doing? I
[6:54:21] was trying to get clarification.
[6:54:22] >> Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know I
[6:54:23] » Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know I
[6:54:23] interrupted. Yeah, I I'm the one that
[6:54:25] interrupted actually. So, and so I'm
[6:54:27] apologizing.
[6:54:28] >> Please go right ahead.
[6:54:31] » Okay. Um,
[6:54:35] so the thing that this that the general
[6:54:36] fund keys off of um for this property
[6:54:40] tax is our M. the column or the amount
[6:54:45] that shows as operating expenditures,
[6:54:48] those expenditures are the ones that are
[6:54:50] deemed to be covered by your M piece of
[6:54:53] the of the rate. Uh the debt service
[6:54:56] rate is
[6:54:59] um just it is what it is because that's
[6:55:02] what our debt service is for the coming
[6:55:04] year. as I mentioned, you know, when we
[6:55:06] were talking about the debt service
[6:55:08] fund. So, the total rate is the rate
[6:55:10] you're looking to set today as a
[6:55:13] proposed rate. Um,
[6:55:16] to just kind of understand this sheet,
[6:55:19] the way I do this is I try to show you
[6:55:21] different increments of different rates.
[6:55:23] If there's a different level you want to
[6:55:25] look at, I can run that. Um, but I've
[6:55:29] tried to show you the no new revenue M
[6:55:32] rate. That's that's where we begin.
[6:55:34] That's where all the other rates key off
[6:55:36] of. Then there's the total no new
[6:55:39] revenue rate and that's it gets you a
[6:55:42] little bit more in in M, but it's not to
[6:55:45] be confused with the no new revenue M
[6:55:48] rate. And then um the voter approval
[6:55:52] rate, if you'll notice down here, it's
[6:55:56] um basically at 6.82. And for those of
[6:55:59] you that have been on council for a
[6:56:00] while, you're going to wonder why it's
[6:56:02] not at 3 and a half.
[6:56:04] And that is because on this worksheet,
[6:56:07] um if you turn to
[6:56:12] um page nine of this worksheet, there is
[6:56:15] what's called an unused increment. And
[6:56:17] since last year you did not go to your
[6:56:20] voter approval rate, there's an
[6:56:22] increment that you can use this year. So
[6:56:26] the reason that our voter approval rate
[6:56:28] is above the 3 and a half% is because of
[6:56:31] that unused increment rate. So um that
[6:56:36] added uh 192,843
[6:56:40] to what you can add on to.
[6:56:44] So, I just wanted to highlight that I
[6:56:47] did show you where the three and a half
[6:56:49] uh piece would be, but our actual voter
[6:56:53] approval rate is this 357797.
[6:56:58] So, that voter approval rate
[6:57:00] um is almost to the 6.242.
[6:57:05] Um not quite. Um
[6:57:10] the next rate is the city's under 30,000
[6:57:13] which I explained is basically 8%.
[6:57:17] And that's because um of our being under
[6:57:21] 30,000 were considered as a special
[6:57:23] taxing unit which is allowed to go up to
[6:57:26] this without going to a vote. If you go
[6:57:30] between um if you go between or over the
[6:57:35] um voter approval rate triggered dim
[6:57:37] deminimus
[6:57:39] there's a chance for a petition if you
[6:57:42] go above the dimminimus there's an
[6:57:44] automatic election.
[6:57:47] So, um, in order to fund everything that
[6:57:51] you have currently in the budget, which
[6:57:55] the numbers that you changed mostly, uh,
[6:57:58] at both of your workshops have been the
[6:58:00] capital outlay numbers.
[6:58:03] Um,
[6:58:05] if they're not covered, if a lot of this
[6:58:08] capital outlay is not covered in your
[6:58:10] tax rate, then you're using your
[6:58:12] reserves to fund those.
[6:58:14] >> Using what?
[6:58:15] » Using what?
[6:58:15] >> Your reserves.
[6:58:16] » Your reserves.
[6:58:16] >> Yeah. And how much do we have in
[6:58:17] » Yeah. And how much do we have in
[6:58:17] reserves?
[6:58:19] >> You uh started out with uh 15.2
[6:58:23] » You uh started out with uh 15.2
[6:58:23] and you will be down to
[6:58:27] uh this fund balance on this general
[6:58:30] fund page of 9,297
[6:58:32] 630.
[6:58:33] >> So we'd use up 6 million of it if we
[6:58:36] » So we'd use up 6 million of it if we
[6:58:36] fully funded everything we have in here
[6:58:37] without any cuts.
[6:58:39] >> That's correct.
[6:58:39] » That's correct.
[6:58:39] >> Thank you.
[6:58:41] » Thank you.
[6:58:42] So, in order to set the tax rate today,
[6:58:45] we're asking you to set a proposed tax
[6:58:47] rate and authorize a hearing uh to be
[6:58:51] held on the 14th.
[6:58:53] And where you set your tax rate depends
[6:58:56] on how much you want this uh 6.242
[6:59:01] uh million
[6:59:03] to change.
[6:59:06] uh or if you want this capital number or
[6:59:09] any of your M numbers to change to take
[6:59:14] less expenditures out. And so,
[6:59:17] um if you're not going to make any
[6:59:20] changes to any of the projects or
[6:59:21] whatever, um my recommendation to you
[6:59:24] would be to go up to the 8% or the 7.99.
[6:59:31] >> I do want to make a note where you see
[6:59:36] » I do want to make a note where you see
[6:59:36] 30,000 voter approval rate that is your
[6:59:40] effective voter approval rate.
[6:59:44] >> The 3614.
[6:59:46] » The 3614.
[6:59:46] >> Yes.
[6:59:46] » Yes.
[6:59:46] >> Yes.
[6:59:48] » Yes.
[6:59:48] [clears throat]
[6:59:49] >> So if I was doing okay, if I was doing
[6:59:52] » So if I was doing okay, if I was doing
[6:59:52] my math correctly, it looked like from
[6:59:55] the proposed budget we received last
[6:59:57] week to today,
[7:00:00] it was 650,000 increase in capital
[7:00:02] outlay expenditures. Does anybody else
[7:00:04] look at that and see if that's correct?
[7:00:07] >> I can print off the capital outlay um
[7:00:10] » I can print off the capital outlay um
[7:00:10] changes for you.
[7:00:12] >> I just Well, I have it on the overall
[7:00:13] » I just Well, I have it on the overall
[7:00:13] budget summary. I just took that
[7:00:16] original number
[7:00:19] of
[7:00:20] um
[7:00:22] yes from between the proposed and your
[7:00:26] current you of course you took out the
[7:00:29] library you took out the community
[7:00:31] center but you added in
[7:00:34] um the John Day road 1.425 425 million
[7:00:38] blue mound 975,000
[7:00:42] um and the blue mound 335,000
[7:00:47] you also added in a million for today
[7:00:50] for the John Road ultimate you added in
[7:00:56] um
[7:00:57] another 60,000 for houselet Park
[7:01:01] reinforced concrete
[7:01:04] and $10,000 for the Blue Mountain Road
[7:01:08] grade separation
[7:01:10] and 750,000
[7:01:12] for the U public works facility
[7:01:19] and you added 300,000 for parks.
[7:01:27] I believe those are all
[7:01:30] >> I was way off. It's Yeah, it was 1.8
[7:01:31] » I was way off. It's Yeah, it was 1.8
[7:01:31] million.
[7:01:34] 1 point
[7:01:36] 840,000.
[7:01:38] >> So what is
[7:01:39] » So what is
[7:01:39] >> addition additional? Okay.
[7:01:41] » addition additional? Okay.
[7:01:41] >> So your your total capital went from
[7:01:51] » 58
[7:01:53] and now it's 64 6485.
[7:01:56] >> Oh, I did do it wrong. Okay.
[7:02:04] Marcy, so what's our current what's our
[7:02:06] current tax rate like today?
[7:02:08] >> The current tax rate is 31545.31
[7:02:13] » The current tax rate is 31545.31
[7:02:13] >> on the front page of your worksheet.
[7:02:16] » on the front page of your worksheet.
[7:02:16] >> So if we go up 8%oughly
[7:02:20] » So if we go up 8%oughly
[7:02:20] 460
[7:02:23] » Yes.
[7:02:25] That puts us at
[7:02:27] >> this number instead of six 242 is then
[7:02:33] » this number instead of six 242 is then
[7:02:33] >> 286.
[7:02:35] » 286.
[7:02:35] >> I'm going to hate
[7:02:35] » I'm going to hate
[7:02:36] >> it's just the M piece that you'd be in
[7:02:39] » it's just the M piece that you'd be in
[7:02:39] the general fund. 6.28673
[7:02:42] if you went up to the 799.
[7:02:45] So, we're only raising it at 4%. If you
[7:02:47] kind of go with what Melsey said, well,
[7:02:50] it go to this 3614
[7:02:54] >> as far as the actual rate, but it will
[7:02:57] » as far as the actual rate, but it will
[7:02:57] it could it could make an 8% or 7.99
[7:03:01] difference in their bill.
[7:03:03] >> Oh.
[7:03:03] » Oh.
[7:03:03] >> Because this is based off of going to
[7:03:06] » Because this is based off of going to
[7:03:06] the no new revenue M rate.
[7:03:08] [clears throat] So, it doesn't it's it's
[7:03:10] not 8% over last year's rate. It's 8%
[7:03:14] over the no new revenue M rate.
[7:03:17] >> It raises
[7:03:19] » It raises
[7:03:19] >> Yeah. How much you say it raised?

[7:03:27] >> but only 6.2 is the M piece.
[7:03:30] » but only 6.2 is the M piece.
[7:03:30] >> That's what we care about.

[7:03:32] » That's the piece that goes in the
[7:03:32] general fund.
[7:03:33] >> Yeah. Don't look at Don't look at the
[7:03:34] » Yeah. Don't look at Don't look at the
[7:03:34] total together. Only look at the M.
[7:03:37] The 63742
[7:03:39] goes into the debt service fund and
[7:03:41] that's constant no matter what your rate
[7:03:44] is.
[7:03:45] >> So the mayor had already planned for a
[7:03:47] » So the mayor had already planned for a
[7:03:47] pretty significant increase.
[7:03:50] >> Yeah, almost close to almost but not all

[7:05:39] original budget. But I'm going to say
[7:05:42] something that I don't even love, but
[7:05:44] it's something that we need to talk
[7:05:45] about that I mean, we are depleting our
[7:05:48] savings quite a bit. We're one emergency
[7:05:50] away from a bad situation. I I'm
[7:05:52] thinking we can talk about the rate, but
[7:05:55] I honestly don't think we can afford to
[7:05:57] do the public works office. Either that
[7:05:59] or we got to tear apart a lot. We could
[7:06:02] also pick the interest rate and then go
[7:06:04] for a bond specifically for the public
[7:06:06] works. The Well, it's gone now and see
[7:06:09] what the people think because there is a
[7:06:11] bond for 5 million. Um, put it to the
[7:06:15] people.
[7:06:17] I mean,
[7:06:20] >> if you did a
[7:06:22] » if you did a
[7:06:22] looking at doing a bond just for public,
[7:06:26] that would be better.
[7:06:28] >> A better tool for that would be a bank
[7:06:30] » A better tool for that would be a bank
[7:06:30] loan.
[7:06:31] >> I don't I don't believe we can issue an
[7:06:33] » I don't I don't believe we can issue an
[7:06:33] a bond for a public works building.
[7:06:36] That's why it's being funded out of the
[7:06:37] general fund already. There's very
[7:06:41] narrow what we can issue the bonds for.
[7:06:43] It's mostly water, sewer. We could do a
[7:06:45] fire department. We could do a library.
[7:06:47] >> I also think you'll get more voter
[7:06:49] » I also think you'll get more voter
[7:06:49] approval if you do a bond for roads than

[7:07:02] » No,
[7:07:02] >> I don't think
[7:07:03] » I don't think

[7:07:05] » that's why public works is in the
[7:07:05] general fund. Now,
[7:07:06] >> now that pertains to cos only
[7:07:09] » now that pertains to cos only
[7:07:10] certificate of obligations. There's two
[7:07:12] things. certificate of obligations and a
[7:07:15] general obligation bond. A certificate
[7:07:17] of obligation and this is the last
[7:07:20] manner in 2022 is what we did. We
[7:07:23] determined, okay, we need to group, we
[7:07:25] need to finance these projects.
[7:07:28] >> They're going to be needed anyway.
[7:07:30] » They're going to be needed anyway.
[7:07:30] >> If you did,

[7:07:34] » we made that decision and we took a
[7:07:34] council vote.
[7:07:36] If you don't now,

[7:07:40] >> I believe you could go to an election to
[7:07:42] » I believe you could go to an election to
[7:07:42] do a public works facility.
[7:07:44] >> That would be the go the general
[7:07:45] » That would be the go the general
[7:07:45] obligation bond. You go to an election.
[7:07:47] >> That's what I was
[7:07:48] » That's what I was
[7:07:48] >> I don't think the public knows how bad
[7:07:50] » I don't think the public knows how bad
[7:07:50] we need a public works building. I don't
[7:07:51] think they know about what all we know
[7:07:53] about
[7:07:55] why we need it and everything like that.
[7:07:56] So,
[7:07:57] >> I just don't think that I would think
[7:07:58] » I just don't think that I would think
[7:07:58] they would strike it down. I don't think
[7:07:59] they would think, oh, $5 million for
[7:08:01] that. I don't
[7:08:03] >> Well, you you you don't know. I think
[7:08:05] » Well, you you you don't know. I think
[7:08:05] you have to educate them. I don't mind
[7:08:07] doing the roads. I just think we're
[7:08:08] going to have a lot of people upset if
[7:08:10] we fund the public works building and
[7:08:12] then put the roads up and what if the
[7:08:14] roads don't get funded? Like what if the
[7:08:16] bond doesn't?
[7:08:16] >> Here's my here's my here's why what one
[7:08:19] » Here's my here's my here's why what one
[7:08:19] option I think we do. I think we take
[7:08:21] out the 120,000 for Hasslup Park
[7:08:24] reinforced concrete. We take out the
[7:08:26] 100,000 for a town hall concept. After
[7:08:29] we do the strategic plan, we can come
[7:08:30] back to that. We have contingency. Um,
[7:08:33] that gets us down to only $430,000
[7:08:36] different than the proposed budget.
[7:08:38] >> What?
[7:08:39] » What?
[7:08:40] >> We are only We are only asking for
[7:08:42] » We are only We are only asking for
[7:08:42] $650,000 more in capital outlay.
[7:08:45] >> Well, we're 1.9 off total.
[7:08:47] » Well, we're 1.9 off total.
[7:08:47] >> Yes, because it's 660 more in
[7:08:49] » Yes, because it's 660 more in
[7:08:49] expenditures, but I'm trying to get the
[7:08:51] capital outlay down a little bit. And
[7:08:53] the oneus 120US 100 would get it to 430.
[7:08:58] Is there anything else on the list? I do
[7:08:59] not want to take the public works
[7:09:00] building off. I'm I'm okay with maybe
[7:09:02] maybe making it a little bit less
[7:09:04] instead of the what we put 3 point what
[7:09:08] do we put in there
[7:09:09] >> the public works building not going to

[7:09:36] year if you need to build a road, but
[7:09:38] it's not necessary. It's not I'll say

[7:09:45] that new site.
[7:09:46] >> Okay.

[7:10:18] sports field design when we're looking
[7:10:19] at the budget that we can I I think it's
[7:10:21] fiscally irresponsible.
[7:10:24] I truly do. If the HCDC wants to fund
[7:10:27] the more expensive park because we have
[7:10:28] both

[7:10:42] » but this 300,000 is I felt when I
[7:10:42] watched the meeting it was about some
[7:10:44] other options they were planning on
[7:10:45] doing the park. It wasn't just for the
[7:10:46] the

[7:10:54] » If they don't get a grant there's a
[7:10:54] couple other things. Yeah.

[7:10:57] maybe 200,000 that's cuts us back

[7:11:02] we're if we're upgrading the park next
[7:11:04] year, let's do that and then the
[7:11:05] following year
[7:11:07] when we've got a little bit more money
[7:11:09] maybe or if we prepare to go to a bond
[7:11:11] for the roads because truly I see us
[7:11:13] we're going to have to at some point go
[7:11:14] to a bond for the roads. Hopefully we're
[7:11:17] not funding all of it. Hopefully our

[7:11:23] » I think let's take off the 300,000.
[7:11:23] That'll get us closer to what what
[7:11:24] you're talking about. I think we need to
[7:11:26] do everything that Mike talked about for
[7:11:28] the public works building. And I don't
[7:11:29] agree with taking 300,000 off. I'm okay
[7:11:31] with taking some, but if if the if it
[7:11:34] doesn't get funded by the EDC, we're
[7:11:36] just assuming it's going to. It might
[7:11:38] not. Then they need those funds
[7:11:39] available.
[7:11:42] » We can request it from the EDC. Right.
[7:11:44] >> Right. And they can refuse it. So, I
[7:11:46] » Right. And they can refuse it. So, I

[7:11:53] » if the EDC's fund it, we
[7:11:53] part of the reason we put this in here
[7:11:55] was so that we because if we're going to
[7:11:57] pay for it, they're going to pay us
[7:11:59] back. Um, which would be a wash.
[7:12:04] Um,
[7:12:04] >> but we don't have it of us getting paid
[7:12:06] » but we don't have it of us getting paid
[7:12:06] back right now. Correct. We just have it
[7:12:08] as an expense.
[7:12:10] >> Uh, no. I believe it's in the EDC's
[7:12:13] » Uh, no. I believe it's in the EDC's
[7:12:13] for I believe it's in there for the
[7:12:15] whole thing. I I think they the EDC I
[7:12:18] think approved it. I don't know the park

[7:12:25] reinforcement 100,000 for the town hall
[7:12:29] vision.
[7:12:30] Um
[7:12:33] possibly reducing like I said the public
[7:12:35] works by a little bit maybe not. You you
[7:12:37] don't want to do that. So um is there
[7:12:40] anything else that you see that could be

[7:12:43] » I disagree with the 100,000 for the town
[7:12:43] hall. We have to prepare for the
[7:12:44] employees that we're going to have or
[7:12:45] we're going to continue to have more and
[7:12:46] more rent. Like we have to start
[7:12:48] locating,

[7:13:28] » I also think we could reduce the
[7:13:28] contingency to the contingency is at 1
[7:13:30] million, right?
[7:13:31] >> Oh my gosh.

[7:13:38] » Okay, let me make maybe this is more
[7:13:38] relevant now. you know the importance of
[7:13:41] that number right there as I was showing
[7:13:44] you earlier
[7:13:46] uh with regard to the fire department.
[7:13:50] >> Which number are you talking about Mr.

[7:13:51] >> He's saying we are one emergency away
[7:13:53] » He's saying we are one emergency away
[7:13:53] like just needing a fire truck. Say our

[7:13:57] a problem.
[7:13:58] >> Yes. So let me is my comment is trying
[7:14:02] » Yes. So let me is my comment is trying
[7:14:02] to keep this number up gives us the
[7:14:06] ability to pay cash for things like this
[7:14:10] fire department vehicles over the next
[7:14:12] 10 years reasonably pay cash for it and
[7:14:16] keep it off a bond
[7:14:19] that reserve number as we go out you
[7:14:22] know and each year last year this last
[7:14:25] budget year we didn't do it we would go
[7:14:27] up historically
[7:14:28] uh 7.99 and that would reap us almost
[7:14:33] $500,000 a year. And as you can see over
[7:14:35] the years that reserve fund got built up
[7:14:38] pretty well and then we decided, okay,
[7:14:41] we need to start spending some of that
[7:14:43] reserves then which we did. Okay, but
[7:14:47] we're getting pretty steep on the
[7:14:49] negative side right now. So I'm asking
[7:14:52] you to please keep that in mind why that
[7:14:55] reserve number is important.
[7:14:59] Oh, go ahead.
[7:14:59] >> Is the reserve number the nine?
[7:15:01] » Is the reserve number the nine?
[7:15:01] >> No, it's the 2.9.
[7:15:02] » No, it's the 2.9.
[7:15:02] >> The 2.9. That's what you're talking
[7:15:04] » The 2.9. That's what you're talking
[7:15:04] about.
[7:15:04] >> That's how much you're about to drop it
[7:15:05] » That's how much you're about to drop it
[7:15:05] by.
[7:15:06] >> We were at 17 million in 2025 and we're
[7:15:09] » We were at 17 million in 2025 and we're
[7:15:09] about to drop it to just under three
[7:15:10] million.
[7:15:24] » Because we could change a contingency,
[7:15:26] too. That's a million dollars in
[7:15:27] contingency. That could be 5%.
[7:15:30] >> Or nothing
[7:15:31] » Or nothing
[7:15:31] >> and give us 500. I mean, or nothing.
[7:15:33] » and give us 500. I mean, or nothing.
[7:15:33] You're right. Or nothing.
[7:15:35] >> We didn't used to have it before. We
[7:15:36] » We didn't used to have it before. We
[7:15:36] never had it until Mayor Holy. But but I
[7:15:39] do think it serves some purpose. Um
[7:15:41] maybe not at
[7:15:43] >> maybe not 10%, but 5% would be 500,000
[7:15:46] » maybe not 10%, but 5% would be 500,000
[7:15:46] back in. I let me tell you the purpose
[7:15:48] that it serves is that as a contingency
[7:15:51] [clears throat]
[7:15:52] a budgeted item line item here of
[7:15:54] contingency
[7:15:56] it is part of this general fund. Now
[7:15:59] let's say there's something that comes
[7:16:00] up throughout the year and you need
[7:16:05] $300,000 for
[7:16:08] and
[7:16:10] there's nowhere among all these items
[7:16:13] within the budget. So you can make
[7:16:16] changes within the budget without a
[7:16:19] budget amendment.
[7:16:20] >> I I understand what it what
[7:16:22] » I I understand what it what
[7:16:22] >> is you can pull from that contingency
[7:16:24] » is you can pull from that contingency
[7:16:24] without a budget amendment. That's the
[7:16:26] purpose of it.
[7:16:27] >> Right. And I I understand what work
[7:16:29] » Right. And I I understand what work
[7:16:29] contingency means. I think I remember
[7:16:31] originally proposed it was 20 thou 20%
[7:16:33] or maybe 15 but we decided 10 as a
[7:16:36] council. So we can decide less as a
[7:16:38] council. Now, if we go to 5%, it gives
[7:16:40] us 500,000 still in there, and then puts
[7:16:42] 500,000 back in the um reserve. And then
[7:16:45] if we take off off a few things, 180
[7:16:48] here, 100 there, 200 here, then we're
[7:16:51] really whittling away down at the the
[7:16:53] cost.
[7:16:55] And then go up to 7.99. What does that
[7:16:57] how much extra does that or how much
[7:16:59] does that produce for us?
[7:17:00] >> $40,000.
[7:17:02] » $40,000.
[7:17:02] >> $44,000.
[7:17:03] » $44,000.
[7:17:03] >> Because he already had a lot of it baked
[7:17:05] » Because he already had a lot of it baked
[7:17:05] in here already,
[7:17:05] >> Marcy, what point do you think is
[7:17:07] » Marcy, what point do you think is
[7:17:08] necessary to keep
[7:17:10] >> the not contingency the the the reserve
[7:17:13] » the not contingency the the the reserve
[7:17:13] surplus where where do you think we need
[7:17:15] to be as a city
[7:17:17] >> off of your experience?
[7:17:19] » off of your experience?
[7:17:19] >> Well, the the target that we have is 50%
[7:17:23] » Well, the the target that we have is 50%
[7:17:23] at 5.2 million and that's that's part of
[7:17:28] it. Now, this reserve surplus is the
[7:17:31] 2.9.
[7:17:32] So, technically if you're reserving 5.2
[7:17:37] two
[7:17:38] um you're you're reserving that already.
[7:17:40] If you look at the contingency, you
[7:17:42] could add to that number if you reduced
[7:17:44] it. That would raise that bottom number.
[7:17:47] Um that the contingency and the target
[7:17:54] uh have been policies of the council. So
[7:17:57] if you don't feel that you need, you
[7:18:00] know, that much of a target in your fund
[7:18:02] balance, but if you if you'll look um
[7:18:08] back historically,
[7:18:11] I mean, you're you're still above the
[7:18:14] target that you've had before, although
[7:18:16] you're and and part of that is because
[7:18:19] we did put fund 19 back in here.
[7:18:23] Um,
[7:18:25] so
[7:18:27] you know, typically
[7:18:29] you would look at an emergency reserve
[7:18:31] of something to be
[7:18:34] at least 90 to 120 days of your
[7:18:37] operations.
[7:18:39] Um, because if you were shut down for
[7:18:41] some some reason, had a disaster or
[7:18:44] something like that. But that's really a
[7:18:47] a
[7:18:49] you know it's really up to council what
[7:18:50] you want your fund balance to be. I when
[7:18:53] I first came on um it was probably in
[7:18:58] the bottom line number was probably in
[7:19:01] the million range. So we have made a lot
[7:19:04] of progress. I would hate to see it go
[7:19:07] down much further than
[7:19:09] >> So you would say like this would be the
[7:19:11] » So you would say like this would be the
[7:19:11] bottom line after this?
[7:19:12] >> Yeah I think this is pretty bottom line.
[7:19:14] » Yeah I think this is pretty bottom line.
[7:19:14] Yeah, I remember Mr. Quinn was pretty he
[7:19:17] was pretty big on
[7:19:18] >> Yeah. And I want to get your
[7:19:19] » Yeah. And I want to get your
[7:19:20] >> once again, not to belabor the fact, but
[7:19:22] » once again, not to belabor the fact, but
[7:19:22] um and not to pick on the fire
[7:19:24] department, but we build in some things
[7:19:25] last year
[7:19:27] >> that that keep on going. I mean, they're
[7:19:31] » that that keep on going. I mean, they're
[7:19:31] the gifts that keep on giving. So any
[7:19:34] any kind of increase is Yeah. it's going
[7:19:38] to continue to take that if you don't
[7:19:41] keep your M rate up
[7:19:45] um your reserve is just going to
[7:19:47] continue to go down unless you
[7:19:49] drastically reduce your capital or as
[7:19:52] the mayor mentioned issue some debt to
[7:19:54] fund something. So you think if we were
[7:19:56] to keep everything we have it, keep this
[7:19:58] as it is right now, you would just
[7:19:59] highly encourage that we're next year
[7:20:02] considering either a bond or an increase
[7:20:04] to the the M
[7:20:05] >> or you consider a bond this year?
[7:20:08] » or you consider a bond this year?
[7:20:08] >> Yeah.
[7:20:08] » Yeah.
[7:20:08] >> We're not ready for a bond.
[7:20:09] » We're not ready for a bond.
[7:20:09] >> Or we take
[7:20:10] » Or we take
[7:20:10] >> Well, you don't know that you're not.
[7:20:11] » Well, you don't know that you're not.
[7:20:12] >> Or we take off some items. We we reduce
[7:20:14] » Or we take off some items. We we reduce
[7:20:14] the contingency and that gets us about
[7:20:16] $700,000 more in our
[7:20:18] >> I'm sorry. Say that one more time.
[7:20:19] » I'm sorry. Say that one more time.
[7:20:19] >> You reduce the contingency by 5%. That
[7:20:21] » You reduce the contingency by 5%. That
[7:20:21] gives us $528,000 to add back in. And
[7:20:25] then we take off the 180. Maybe that's
[7:20:27] it.
[7:20:29] And that gives us even more.
[7:20:32] >> Does it matter? Oh, I'm so sorry. Go
[7:20:34] » Does it matter? Oh, I'm so sorry. Go
[7:20:34] ahead.
[7:20:35] >> Um, [clears throat]
[7:20:38] Miss Wise just asked, "Will we do it for
[7:20:41] a bond?" You said, "Well, you don't know
[7:20:42] that yet, but it's at the end of August
[7:20:47] or
[7:20:48] uh, you know, 1 of August. The
[7:20:51] election's in the 1 of November. So in
[7:20:53] like two months we'll have an election.
[7:20:54] So can we get a bond ready by in less
[7:20:57] than two months?
[7:20:59] >> 17th of this month.
[7:21:01] » 17th of this month.
[7:21:01] >> Okay. So we have so we have we have we
[7:21:03] » Okay. So we have so we have we have we
[7:21:03] have nine days.
[7:21:04] >> We would need to notify the county that
[7:21:07] » We would need to notify the county that
[7:21:07] we're going to have an election. That's
[7:21:09] what that date is.
[7:21:11] >> But yes, they could Hilltop could get a
[7:21:15] » But yes, they could Hilltop could get a
[7:21:15] bond ready if you knew the amount what
[7:21:17] you're going to use it for.
[7:21:18] >> When when is that when is that like when
[7:21:20] » When when is that when is that like when
[7:21:20] do we need to have that done by? If that
[7:21:22] was the case,
[7:21:24] >> it would be tight for them to do that.
[7:21:27] » it would be tight for them to do that.
[7:21:27] >> So, would you feel more comfortable with
[7:21:28] » So, would you feel more comfortable with
[7:21:28] the 3.664902?
[7:21:31] >> I'm sorry. Say
[7:21:32] » I'm sorry. Say
[7:21:32] >> 3.664
[7:21:34] » 3.664
[7:21:34] instead of two. Instead of looking at
[7:21:36] the 2956, it'd be 3664.
[7:21:38] >> She's making it.
[7:21:39] » She's making it.
[7:21:39] >> Yeah, I'm just adding numbers.
[7:21:40] » Yeah, I'm just adding numbers.
[7:21:40] >> Doesn't matter where it is, whether it
[7:21:41] » Doesn't matter where it is, whether it
[7:21:41] be in the contingency or the reserve
[7:21:43] surplus. Isn't that all sitting to the
[7:21:45] side anyway? Does it really matter?
[7:21:46] >> That's what you're saying.
[7:21:47] » That's what you're saying.
[7:21:47] >> Where it's located?
[7:21:48] » Where it's located?
[7:21:48] >> That's just what you're moving. It's
[7:21:49] » That's just what you're moving. It's
[7:21:49] just moving from there to there. Yeah.
[7:21:50] But it looks better.
[7:21:51] >> Still 9.
[7:21:52] » Still 9.
[7:21:52] >> It's still [clears throat]
[7:21:54] » It's still [clears throat]
[7:21:54] >> Yeah,
[7:21:54] » Yeah,
[7:21:54] >> that's what you're saying. It's still
[7:21:55] » that's what you're saying. It's still
[7:21:55] 3.9
[7:21:56] >> 9.3 million at
[7:21:57] » 9.3 million at
[7:21:57] >> Yeah. I just think as we move through
[7:21:59] » Yeah. I just think as we move through
[7:21:59] the next year, if we leave this as it
[7:22:00] is, as we move through this next year,
[7:22:03] we need to realize
[7:22:05] >> that we do not have the money for the
[7:22:06] » that we do not have the money for the
[7:22:06] roads that are incoming or to even
[7:22:08] finish out what's required for the roads
[7:22:10] next year to if you we are going to have
[7:22:14] to do a bond next year as in like a year
[7:22:17] from now. We need to be ready and we
[7:22:18] need to be considering and getting the
[7:22:21] estimates for those roads ready and
[7:22:23] finding out what our partners will
[7:22:24] contribute if that makes
[7:22:26] >> I yes that makes 100% but
[7:22:28] » I yes that makes 100% but
[7:22:28] >> excuse me guys while you're talking
[7:22:30] » excuse me guys while you're talking
[7:22:30] about that you mentioned but also
[7:22:34] >> yes you can put
[7:22:35] » yes you can put
[7:22:35] >> any general election
[7:22:35] » any general election
[7:22:35] >> we won't be ready okay so it could be
[7:22:38] » we won't be ready okay so it could be
[7:22:38] [clears throat] in May also
[7:22:39] >> in May you should do
[7:22:42] » in May you should do
[7:22:42] >> have a bond
[7:22:45] » have a bond
[7:22:45] >> okay the only other thing I would say
[7:22:46] » okay the only other thing I would say
[7:22:46] with reducing the to five is you
[7:22:48] wouldn't have to do a budget amendment.
[7:22:52] >> Well, no. No, we want to leave at 10.
[7:22:53] » Well, no. No, we want to leave at 10.
[7:22:53] So, we don't have to do a budget
[7:22:54] amendment, right?
[7:22:56] >> Right. Is that correct?
[7:22:58] » Right. Is that correct?
[7:22:58] >> What's that about budget amendment?
[7:22:59] » What's that about budget amendment?
[7:22:59] >> I would I would like to ask um Mr. um
[7:23:03] » I would I would like to ask um Mr. um
[7:23:03] Ashton, what in your past as a city
[7:23:07] administrator, how you feel about
[7:23:10] dipping to this level?
[7:23:13] uh really just echo what Marcy said and
[7:23:15] in particular and then also um I believe
[7:23:19] it was either Miss Wise or Mr. Kurthers
[7:23:21] that
[7:23:23] when you're looking at the uh
[7:23:25] contingency the fund balance target
[7:23:27] that's been set by the council and then
[7:23:29] the reserve surplus those can all be
[7:23:32] thought of as broken out and then they
[7:23:33] can all be thought of as one number too.
[7:23:35] So I mean you you still you still have
[7:23:38] multiple layers of
[7:23:41] uh
[7:23:42] of different things built in as opposed
[7:23:44] to just having a final reserve of of
[7:23:47] that number. So, it really is like Marcy
[7:23:50] said, it's it's what the council's
[7:23:52] philosophy is on those numbers and
[7:23:54] wanting to to adhere to those numbers.
[7:23:57] >> And let me may I share you because I
[7:23:59] » And let me may I share you because I
[7:24:00] instituted these numbers. May I share
[7:24:02] you the thought behind it?
[7:24:06] is
[7:24:09] one. Uh
[7:24:13] contingency had been used quite often
[7:24:17] prior to 2021. Some point in time the
[7:24:22] council stopped using contingency but I
[7:24:25] put it back in is because just like
[7:24:28] these projects they don't know exactly
[7:24:30] what's going to happen. We can't
[7:24:32] forecast exactly what's going to happen.
[7:24:35] what we'll spend on air from. We do our
[7:24:38] best that we can.
[7:24:39] >> I'm save. We're going to keep
[7:24:40] » I'm save. We're going to keep
[7:24:40] contingency. I was the only one that I
[7:24:42] was the only one talking
[7:24:45] not in favor of it and I'm good.
[7:24:46] Everybody else is good. So, we're good
[7:24:47] with contingency.
[7:24:48] >> Okay. I I just wanted to explain
[7:24:50] » Okay. I I just wanted to explain
[7:24:50] >> more. We got it. I mean, we're good with
[7:24:52] » more. We got it. I mean, we're good with
[7:24:52] contingency. We're going to keep it in.
[7:24:53] And you like you mentioned there's no
[7:24:55] budget amendment.
[7:24:56] >> The uh target of 50%.
[7:24:59] » The uh target of 50%.
[7:24:59] >> We're good. I think we're good with
[7:25:00] » We're good. I think we're good with
[7:25:00] that, too.
[7:25:01] >> You're good with the target of 50%.
[7:25:03] » You're good with the target of 50%.
[7:25:03] >> Yeah. we were just visually looking at
[7:25:05] » Yeah. we were just visually looking at
[7:25:05] it different that the these aren't all
[7:25:08] this money is still the city's money
[7:25:10] even though it's broken out it looks uh
[7:25:12] less and actually it helps me because in
[7:25:14] 2023
[7:25:16] if you look at the total of the fund
[7:25:18] balance target and the reserve surplus
[7:25:19] we're actually almost at the same this
[7:25:21] year. So you do see a significant
[7:25:23] increase but that's also when we had a
[7:25:26] lot of income coming into the city. A
[7:25:27] lot of homes being built but we also did
[7:25:29] have a lot of expense because of that in
[7:25:30] those years. So, we're almost kind of
[7:25:33] balancing back out to 2023. It's just
[7:25:35] broken out differently. When you look at
[7:25:38] the reserve surplus, it looks a little
[7:25:40] scary. And that kind of shocked me cuz
[7:25:41] it went 9.6 10 17 and now we're down to
[7:25:45] two. But then once I saw it's because
[7:25:47] they had been moved to separate
[7:25:49] accounts, it's a little less. It's It's
[7:25:52] easier to digest.
[7:25:53] >> My question is, is there anything we
[7:25:54] » My question is, is there anything we
[7:25:54] want to take off now or we want to
[7:25:57] That's my question. I just want to
[7:25:58] mention one other thing that's when
[7:26:01] you're talking about the tax rate. I
[7:26:03] think this is one of the more important
[7:26:05] things to look at and that's if you'll
[7:26:07] look at the fund balance effect the
[7:26:09] increase decrease
[7:26:11] that's shows you what your tax rate and
[7:26:15] all your revenues are actually covering
[7:26:18] toward your operations.
[7:26:20] And part of the reason that um your
[7:26:24] operating expense um has gone up over
[7:26:27] the years, particularly the last uh
[7:26:31] three or four, is because the mayor has
[7:26:34] um put in raises, the council's put in
[7:26:38] raises. Um we've had additional expenses
[7:26:41] for, you know, a multitude of things. Um
[7:26:45] >> we've doubled the number of employees.
[7:26:47] » we've doubled the number of employees.
[7:26:47] >> Yes, we've doubled the number of
[7:26:48] » Yes, we've doubled the number of
[7:26:48] employees. Those are all recurring
[7:26:50] expenses. And if you look at this right
[7:26:52] hand column, uh you're only covering all
[7:26:56] those expenses right now um at 653,000
[7:27:00] to the good. So that's the number in the
[7:27:04] future that's really the most important
[7:27:07] because you can fund your capital with
[7:27:10] other financing mechanisms, but you
[7:27:12] really can't fund your M with much else
[7:27:16] unless we get the sales tax. Um and you
[7:27:20] know unless
[7:27:20] >> all goes back to sales tax.
[7:27:21] » all goes back to sales tax.
[7:27:22] >> Yeah. Unless we um keep our tax rate
[7:27:25] » Yeah. Unless we um keep our tax rate
[7:27:25] sufficient to cover those and it it you
[7:27:28] know to me it it's not necessarily are
[7:27:31] you raising rates, are you lowering
[7:27:32] rates? You know I know politically for
[7:27:35] you all that that's a hard thing but to
[7:27:38] have a rate that's sufficient to cover
[7:27:40] your expenses there's nothing wrong with
[7:27:42] that. that's that's fiscally responsible
[7:27:45] to make sure that you can cover your
[7:27:47] expenses. So, I almost think that that's
[7:27:49] really a more important number than the
[7:27:52] capital. Capital's a one-time hit and
[7:27:55] you know, you do have other ways to
[7:27:57] finance it. So, I just wanted to I just
[7:28:01] wanted to say that
[7:28:02] >> I'm good with the 7.99.
[7:28:03] » I'm good with the 7.99.
[7:28:03] >> Marcy, thank you for validating my sales
[7:28:06] » Marcy, thank you for validating my sales
[7:28:06] tax. I appreciate that.
[7:28:08] [laughter]
[7:28:08] >> I agree.
[7:28:09] » I agree.
[7:28:09] >> I'm just going to keep going.
[7:28:10] » I'm just going to keep going.
[7:28:10] >> Do you you agree? I agree with the
[7:28:12] » Do you you agree? I agree with the
[7:28:12] 7.990. I just want to make sure all as
[7:28:14] council we're aware and working towards
[7:28:17] a bond's going to be required for these
[7:28:18] roads and it's we got to put in work to
[7:28:20] have it ready next year.
[7:28:21] >> We knew that a long time ago.
[7:28:23] » We knew that a long time ago.
[7:28:23] >> It's
[7:28:24] » It's
[7:28:24] >> we just have to come to the conversation
[7:28:25] » we just have to come to the conversation
[7:28:25] and come to the realization. I mean,
[7:28:27] we're not going to fund 55 million to do
[7:28:29] the whole blue mound,
[7:28:30] >> but we can do a smaller amount to make
[7:28:32] » but we can do a smaller amount to make
[7:28:32] some some serious difference
[7:28:34] >> 100%. And also, yeah, other roads John
[7:28:38] » 100%. And also, yeah, other roads John
[7:28:38] Day is really concerning.
[7:28:40] Yeah, I'm glad that
[7:28:42] back in those are those two items are
[7:28:44] huge to be placed back in the budget.
[7:28:45] >> John Day and Blue Mountain are the
[7:28:46] » John Day and Blue Mountain are the
[7:28:46] priorities, right? Because that's what
[7:28:47] we we are we are required to fund those
[7:28:51] roads anyway.
[7:28:52] >> I do think we can get assistance. I
[7:28:54] » I do think we can get assistance. I
[7:28:54] truly do.
[7:28:55] >> John Day and the two intersections will
[7:28:57] » John Day and the two intersections will
[7:28:57] be huge to get those.
[7:28:58] >> Absolutely.
[7:29:02] » Okay. So, what do we need to do for
[7:29:03] 7.990?
[7:29:06] >> Well, before that, are we good with not
[7:29:08] » Well, before that, are we good with not
[7:29:08] taking anything out? We're leaving
[7:29:09] everything in. Nothing's coming back.
[7:29:10] Nothing's coming out.
[7:29:11] >> What I would want to take out, I don't
[7:29:12] » What I would want to take out, I don't
[7:29:12] think anybody else agrees. So, yes.

[7:29:19] about it. I mean, does anybody else want
[7:29:21] the 180? If not, we'll leave it.
[7:29:22] >> What's the 180 again?
[7:29:23] » What's the 180 again?
[7:29:23] >> The park.
[7:29:24] » The park.
[7:29:24] >> Let me let me ask a question. I heard
[7:29:26] » Let me let me ask a question. I heard
[7:29:26] earlier you're going to take Hasslet
[7:29:28] Park out.
[7:29:29] >> We're trying to talk about that right
[7:29:30] » We're trying to talk about that right
[7:29:30] now.
[7:29:31] >> Oh, the two items I heard was Hasslet
[7:29:34] » Oh, the two items I heard was Hasslet
[7:29:34] Park and then the town hall 100,000.
[7:29:36] decided I think the town hall was going
[7:29:38] to stay in correct as a group.
[7:29:40] >> I hope so.
[7:29:40] » I hope so.
[7:29:40] >> I I mean I think so too. I mean thinking
[7:29:42] » I I mean I think so too. I mean thinking
[7:29:42] about it and
[7:29:44] >> so can I ask about the 300,000 because
[7:29:49] » they have 500,000 already right?
[7:29:52] >> We have allocated 500,000 in the general
[7:29:54] » We have allocated 500,000 in the general
[7:29:54] >> the 300 was not to get a bigger better
[7:29:58] » the 300 was not to get a bigger better
[7:29:58] park equipment. It was to do something
[7:30:00] different.
[7:30:00] >> No possibly.
[7:30:01] » No possibly.
[7:30:01] >> Possibly.
[7:30:01] » Possibly.
[7:30:01] >> Possibly. [snorts] But it was also for
[7:30:02] » Possibly. [snorts] But it was also for
[7:30:02] exercise equipment. They were want to
[7:30:04] get a grant or something like that. And
[7:30:05] so that that's kind of what that was
[7:30:06] for.
[7:30:07] >> Yeah. They were just they were just
[7:30:08] » Yeah. They were just they were just
[7:30:08] asking for that additional money as a um
[7:30:10] as a cushion is all.
[7:30:12] >> Well, let me let me ask you let me well
[7:30:15] » Well, let me let me ask you let me well
[7:30:15] make a comment. Think in terms of what
[7:30:18] is needed? I know we're moving ahead. We
[7:30:22] got to always move ahead. But which of
[7:30:25] these items is needed right now? And one
[7:30:28] the town hall thing. Um,
[7:30:31] you're probably looking at a $25 million
[7:30:35] project easily
[7:30:36] >> for what?
[7:30:37] » for what?
[7:30:37] >> For a town hall,

[7:30:42] » But but let me let me finish. I know
[7:30:42] it's not what you want to hear.
[7:30:43] >> No, I'm saying we're not even we're not
[7:30:45] » No, I'm saying we're not even we're not
[7:30:45] building it.
[7:30:45] >> How does
[7:30:47] » How does
[7:30:47] building cost 25 million?
[7:30:49] >> $100,000
[7:30:50] » $100,000
[7:30:50] to go look.
[7:30:52] >> Okay.
[7:30:52] » Okay.
[7:30:52] >> So, I'm just saying you could put that
[7:30:54] » So, I'm just saying you could put that
[7:30:54] off another year.
[7:30:58] >> Not saying erase it. just put it off
[7:31:00] » Not saying erase it. just put it off
[7:31:00] another year. Um,
[7:31:02] >> but keep his library.

[7:31:03] >> But likewise the um well, y'all have
[7:31:07] » But likewise the um well, y'all have
[7:31:07] erased the library. I understand that.
[7:31:10] You've erased the community event
[7:31:12] centers, but um some of this you there
[7:31:16] there's there's three prongs. You got
[7:31:18] what are all your tools to accomplish
[7:31:20] it? How low are you going to take your
[7:31:23] reserve?
[7:31:24] And what is needed on top of this? what
[7:31:27] what do I what I need this coming year
[7:31:29] to grow but address the necessities.
[7:31:32] >> So, could you finish what you were
[7:31:33] » So, could you finish what you were
[7:31:33] saying, Chris?
[7:31:36] >> Well, I just
[7:31:39] » Well, I just
[7:31:39] I know at one point this year there was
[7:31:41] a discussion about 800,000 from EDC to
[7:31:45] fund new park equipment.
[7:31:47] And now we have 500,000 from the park
[7:31:49] board and they're asking for another
[7:31:51] 300.
[7:31:53] But none of that is EDC money. It's all
[7:31:55] general fund money. Wait, do we have it
[7:31:58] double?
[7:31:58] >> I'm just trying to What?
[7:31:59] » I'm just trying to What?
[7:31:59] >> Do we have to double budget? Is that
[7:32:01] » Do we have to double budget? Is that
[7:32:01] what you're saying?
[7:32:01] >> No, I said EDC offered 300.
[7:32:04] » No, I said EDC offered 300.
[7:32:04] >> He said EDC has offered 800,000 for the
[7:32:07] » He said EDC has offered 800,000 for the
[7:32:07] new park and then the parks board is now
[7:32:08] saying we want to we want it 500 u but
[7:32:12] now we want an extra 300. And so he's
[7:32:14] saying but that's coming out of the
[7:32:15] general fund. And he's like we might as
[7:32:16] well just let the EDC pay for it and
[7:32:18] then not come out of our general fund.
[7:32:20] >> We just can't make the assumption that
[7:32:21] » We just can't make the assumption that
[7:32:21] the EDC is going to fund.
[7:32:23] >> I understand. I just I'm just still
[7:32:25] » I understand. I just I'm just still
[7:32:25] grieving a little bit that whole process
[7:32:26] blew up because we would not even have
[7:32:28] to be talking.
[7:32:29] >> We only have ourselves to blame for
[7:32:30] » We only have ourselves to blame for
[7:32:30] that. I mean I that's just but that it
[7:32:32] is what it is. Let's look forward and I
[7:32:34] I just if you want to lower it I'm okay
[7:32:36] lowering it a little bit. I think um
[7:32:38] they just want a little bit of in case
[7:32:40] the EDC decides that they that's not a
[7:32:42] project they want to move forward with.
[7:32:44] They're going to be funding it
[7:32:45] themselves. They want to make sure they
[7:32:46] have enough money if it goes over the
[7:32:47] 500,000. I think they really are trying
[7:32:49] to keep it at that that price point from
[7:32:52] what I heard listened on the meeting.
[7:32:54] Um, but I don't if you want to change it
[7:32:56] to 200 just so there's a little bit.
[7:32:58] >> I missed the last park board meeting so
[7:33:01] » I missed the last park board meeting so
[7:33:01] I
[7:33:01] >> I just watched it. I wasn't like
[7:33:02] » I just watched it. I wasn't like
[7:33:02] >> I don't want to speak to if they I know
[7:33:05] » I don't want to speak to if they I know
[7:33:05] they were looking at the 500. I know
[7:33:06] there's no guarantee and then they got
[7:33:08] to suggest.
[7:33:11] Do we think the HCEDC and do we think if
[7:33:14] we asked them to either way cover that
[7:33:19] that would be an issue?
[7:33:21] >> I I don't know. I just I just like
[7:33:23] » I I don't know. I just I just like
[7:33:23] having it in the general funding case if
[7:33:25] that's what we want to use that money on
[7:33:27] or that's what we want them using the
[7:33:29] money on. It needs to have a needs to be
[7:33:31] budgeted in case it's not picked up as a
[7:33:33] project. You can't budget on a hope
[7:33:36] >> and yeah, so we can take it down to
[7:33:39] » and yeah, so we can take it down to
[7:33:39] 200,000 and and I am in favor of taking
[7:33:42] off the House of Park pushing it out one
[7:33:44] more year.
[7:33:45] >> Okay.
[7:33:45] » Okay.
[7:33:46] >> But if that like I said, we need to talk
[7:33:47] » But if that like I said, we need to talk
[7:33:47] about those those two things.
[7:33:48] >> Both of those.
[7:33:49] » Both of those.
[7:33:49] >> When is the park board meeting?
[7:33:50] » When is the park board meeting?
[7:33:50] >> It's Wednesday.
[7:33:52] » It's Wednesday.
[7:33:52] >> This coming Wednesday.
[7:33:53] » This coming Wednesday.
[7:33:53] >> Yes, ma'am.
[7:33:54] » Yes, ma'am.
[7:33:54] >> Oh,
[7:33:55] » Oh,
[7:33:55] >> yeah.
[7:33:55] » yeah.
[7:33:56] >> That's what you're thinking. We would
[7:33:57] » That's what you're thinking. We would
[7:33:57] know what they're going to do.
[7:33:58] >> We would know before the 17th.
[7:34:00] » We would know before the 17th.
[7:34:00] >> We would.
[7:34:00] » We would.
[7:34:00] >> And could we get with HC? Could Joe get
[7:34:02] » And could we get with HC? Could Joe get
[7:34:02] with HCDC and see? I mean, I would
[7:34:06] >> they meet on
[7:34:07] » they meet on
[7:34:07] >> You would have to meet with their full
[7:34:08] » You would have to meet with their full
[7:34:08] board.
[7:34:09] >> Oh, is it all?
[7:34:11] » Oh, is it all?
[7:34:11] >> I keep thinking more further.
[7:34:13] » I keep thinking more further.
[7:34:13] >> But we would know if if they're if they
[7:34:15] » But we would know if if they're if they
[7:34:15] approve a $500,000 playground or
[7:34:17] $800,000 playground to recommend. We
[7:34:19] would know that after Wednesday. That's
[7:34:21] a good point.
[7:34:22] >> But all all the playgrounds that they
[7:34:23] » But all all the playgrounds that they
[7:34:23] brought forward a few weeks ago, the
[7:34:26] parks board did, the three that they
[7:34:28] narrowed it down to are all around
[7:34:29] 500,000. So they've not the parks
[7:34:32] they're looking at are not 800. They're
[7:34:35] all 500. They went from a big nice park
[7:34:38] playground towers down to something
[7:34:40] really small. So it's like they they
[7:34:42] shrunk they shrunk it down a lot.
[7:34:44] >> Let me make a suggestion please. Is take
[7:34:47] » Let me make a suggestion please. Is take
[7:34:47] the 300,000 out.
[7:34:52] If park board wants some additional
[7:34:56] money for a project then they can come
[7:35:00] to the city c the council needs to ask
[7:35:03] the EDC not a park board is park or EDC
[7:35:10] will you take this as a project fund
[7:35:12] this additional 300,000 for whatever
[7:35:14] that project is and they all go yes or
[7:35:17] no
[7:35:18] >> well so I think a middle ground sorry
[7:35:20] » well so I think a middle ground sorry
[7:35:20] mayor may I speak
[7:35:22] Okay, wonderful. The So, if they do pick
[7:35:25] a half a million dollar park, I think
[7:35:27] with contingency and stuff, maybe they'd
[7:35:29] need about$100,000 because I have a
[7:35:31] feeling it might be slightly over. But
[7:35:33] if they go with, here's the thing,
[7:35:35] they're bringing their recommendations
[7:35:36] to us. HCEDC has already given us a
[7:35:39] recommendation. So, say the parks board
[7:35:41] goes for the half million dollar one and
[7:35:42] HCEDC says, "Hey, we'll pay for this
[7:35:44] $800,000 one." Council still gets to
[7:35:46] decide. We can go with the big one and
[7:35:48] HCDC funds it or we can go with the
[7:35:50] smaller one that the parks board decides
[7:35:52] and have a little bit of money put to
[7:35:54] the side for them. We don't need the
[7:35:56] >> That's true. Or we just use the $500,000
[7:35:57] » That's true. Or we just use the $500,000
[7:35:57] that the EDC's already said they were
[7:35:59] going to spend.
[7:36:00] >> Aren't we funding the 500,000 from the
[7:36:02] » Aren't we funding the 500,000 from the
[7:36:02] parks no matter what? Because the parks
[7:36:04] didn't have $500,000 in their budget.
[7:36:05] >> It's HC. I thought was
[7:36:07] » It's HC. I thought was
[7:36:07] >> do what?
[7:36:08] » do what?
[7:36:08] >> It's already here.
[7:36:09] » It's already here.
[7:36:09] >> Okay. Well, I'm saying we're funding it,
[7:36:11] » Okay. Well, I'm saying we're funding it,
[7:36:11] not the par. It's not coming out of the
[7:36:12] It's not fun out of fund 15. It's coming
[7:36:14] out of our So
[7:36:15] >> we're fun. So, if the parks board says
[7:36:17] » we're fun. So, if the parks board says
[7:36:17] we want a $500 $500,000 park, the
[7:36:21] general fund's funding that, not the
[7:36:22] parks board. I just want to clarify
[7:36:24] that.
[7:36:24] >> Butc is reimbursing. Didn't they say
[7:36:27] » Butc is reimbursing. Didn't they say
[7:36:27] they're covering that park?
[7:36:29] >> Well,
[7:36:30] » Well,
[7:36:30] >> no, the 5 the 500,000 is covered by them
[7:36:33] » no, the 5 the 500,000 is covered by them
[7:36:33] no matter what.
[7:36:34] >> The 500,000 was already passed from a
[7:36:35] » The 500,000 was already passed from a
[7:36:36] resolution a couple months ago. The
[7:36:37] additional 300 is what they're asking
[7:36:40] for.
[7:36:40] >> The 500,000 is paid by the HCDC no
[7:36:42] » The 500,000 is paid by the HCDC no
[7:36:42] matter what. That was approved. It's the
[7:36:45] additional.
[7:36:46] >> What if we dropped it to 150? What if we
[7:36:48] » What if we dropped it to 150? What if we
[7:36:48] just cut it in half?
[7:36:49] >> It's not if they want to pay for the
[7:36:50] » It's not if they want to pay for the
[7:36:50] park. HCEDC already agreed to pay that
[7:36:52] half a million. That is a done deal. The
[7:36:55] question is the rest.
[7:36:57] HCEDC, even if we go with the park's
[7:36:59] recommendation for the half a million
[7:37:00] dollars, HCEDC will have to pay that
[7:37:02] half million.
[7:37:03] >> Or what about this? We have they already
[7:37:06] » Or what about this? We have they already
[7:37:06] had the 500,000. We have a contingency
[7:37:08] fund. We also have EDC as an option. I
[7:37:12] think we could take off the 300,000
[7:37:15] and just like you said have them bring
[7:37:17] the but the the proposal and see what
[7:37:21] the proposal comes out to and then we
[7:37:23] can make a decision like if we need to
[7:37:25] ask EDC to cover a little bit or if we
[7:37:27] need to maybe pull a little bit about
[7:37:29] out of contingency or something part was
[7:37:31] for that exercise pad if they don't get
[7:37:33] the grant they wanted to have the monies
[7:37:34] available for that as well.
[7:37:35] >> Yeah. You know, I don't know. I don't
[7:37:37] » Yeah. You know, I don't know. I don't
[7:37:37] know the cost of that.
[7:37:38] >> But maybe they do that next year because
[7:37:40] » But maybe they do that next year because

[7:37:53] >> They didn't give us at all an estimate
[7:37:54] » They didn't give us at all an estimate
[7:37:54] on the cost.
[7:37:55] >> What is the 300,000 ask? What is it for?
[7:37:59] » What is the 300,000 ask? What is it for?
[7:37:59] The parks board meeting was for in case

[7:38:25] >> You said you introduced it so he'll know
[7:38:26] » You said you introduced it so he'll know
[7:38:26] the cost. Well, I I just introduced the
[7:38:28] I don't know the cost. They didn't get
[7:38:30] into it, but it's a lowlevel
[7:38:33] grant persist. They call it a grant. Uh
[7:38:37] it's a private concern through uh
[7:38:41] um Baylor Scott and White and or Blue
[7:38:44] Shield. I think Blue Shield, they offer
[7:38:47] that as well.
[7:38:49] um for a
[7:38:56] say uh $250,000
[7:38:59] exercise.
[7:39:00] >> $250,000. Okay, that's
[7:39:01] » $250,000. Okay, that's
