[17:19] Thank you, Jimmy questions.

[17:20] Yeah, I guess my question is

[17:23] my understanding is we can't

[17:24] have cameras in the roadway.

[17:29] How do we get around this for

[17:30] crash detection videos. These

[17:31] these these cameras are

[17:34] mounted up on on the polls at

[17:35] the intersections that they

[17:40] kind you over the top of it.

[17:41] Yeah, I would just add to that

[17:44] state law prohibits video

[17:45] enforcement for a light red

[17:47] light running. You can't issue

[17:48] a ticket based on red lights.

[17:48] These are not for video

[17:50] enforcement. These help

[17:51] control the flow of traffic at

[17:53] the intersection and then they

[17:55] also allow us the capability

[17:56] to collect data on traffic,

[17:57] light traffic counts and near

[27:27] that cause it to be handled.

[27:30] No. There is a separate bridge

[28:41] financial team too, give the

[28:42] 2020's 7 budget presentation

[28:46] that we gave too. Council

[28:46] committee on AUGUST 13th. This

[28:49] is a preventive Reavie, a

[28:53] diversion of But without

[28:55] further ado acts, Margaret

[28:55] Wilson, too, give the

[28:59] presentation. Thank you. And

[28:59] we also have sights on the

[29:05] screen as well. Yes, hi, good

[29:06] afternoon, everybody. Director

[29:07] Wilson, thank you. You still

[29:10] most of my little intro here

[29:12] for our abridged version of

[29:14] the 2027 budget presentation

[29:17] that we gave about 2 weeks

[29:20] ago. So we cut this down just

[29:21] 2 about the meat and potatoes

[29:24] of it. So we will be happy to

[29:26] go into any other questions.

[29:28] Further details on anything

[29:31] that you MAY have at the end.

[29:32] But otherwise, these kind of

[29:33] the key points we'd like to

[29:40] highlight 4 the board today.

[29:43] I'll start off with our agency

[29:45] staffing. This has been

[29:46] extreme when for the

[29:48] department this year you'll

[29:52] see are filled positions are

[29:57] at 91.1% And this this as of

[29:58] AUGUST 4th, when we have this

[30:00] data for the budget

[30:02] presentation, this number is

[30:05] up from 88.6 last year when we

[30:06] present and for the same

[30:11] budget presentation. At this

[30:13] time. We do have all of our

[30:15] engineering admin positions

[30:16] filled as well. So that's been

[30:21] a success for that division.

[30:23] And I would like to give kudos

[30:25] to our internal internal Peril

[30:29] and h r for helping to

[30:31] streamline the process the

[30:36] past year or so. We've worked

[30:38] well together with our new

[30:38] hires to shorten the amount of

[30:42] time. And and the back and

[30:45] forth with the application

[30:46] process. And I think that is

[30:49] very important to highlight.

[30:51] They are kind of that first

[30:53] face of this city for our new

[30:56] employees. So having a great

[30:57] peril team involved in helping

[30:58] them get started been very

[31:03] beneficial. Next year. We will

[31:05] be also implementing the step

[31:09] in new policy. There's still

[31:10] some details to be sorted out

[31:12] with that, that we will share

[31:15] once that's available. But

[31:18] that will be an effort to help

[31:22] biweekly employee retention

[31:24] let them know that they're

[31:25] valued not wait to be on the

[31:26] cola increase that we Spain

[31:32] every year. Here. We've got

[31:35] the graph of the filled

[31:38] positions. This goes back the

[31:45] past year. And you can see.

[31:49] You can see we're at 739

[31:51] positions filled at that 91%

[31:56] rate as of the end of JULY.

[31:57] You'll see the increases as

[31:58] well since the cba took into

[32:02] effect in 2025. And then just

[32:06] noting percentage of our union

[32:12] positions is about 75%.

[32:15] Getting into the dpw operating

[32:21] budget dpw. Its is built

[32:25] around some major revenue

[32:26] sources. That's primarily

[32:27] divided up into these

[32:30] categories here on the screen,

[32:32] we've got the mv Hrs will tax

[32:34] storm water user fee, solid

[32:38] waste user fee and special

[32:40] service just district tax

[32:44] Levy, we. It can account for

[32:50] some of stable increases. And

[32:52] plan for those along the way.

[32:53] So you can see we've got a

[32:55] budget growing about of about

[33:01] 10 million this year. We also

[33:04] can seek supplemental budget

[33:05] and some of it, which will be

[33:08] explained. The further slides.

[33:10] But we have things like the

[33:11] inner local agreement grants

[33:13] and one-time appropriations.

[33:19] That factor into our revenue.

[33:21] Big point here on this budget

[33:27] slide. You'll notice our total

[33:30] 2027 introduced budget is at

[33:32] 335 million dollars. That's

[33:33] substantial increase about

[33:35] 77 million from last year. So

[33:36] we're very excited to put that

[33:44] to work. We have the top line

[33:45] of this graph. Kinda refers

[33:46] back to that previous slide of

[33:49] those dpw operating funds. And

[33:52] then we also get into our

[33:55] fleet Services fleet Services,

[33:57] are funded, mostly by charge

[33:58] backs. And that's from the

[33:59] other divisions and

[34:03] departments. They're getting

[34:05] an increase this year of about

[34:07] 1.4 million. And that driven

[34:12] largely by the cola increases

[34:14] lower vacancy rates and

[34:16] contractual increases. Our

[34:19] capital funds are used for the

[34:24] infrastructure and our capital

[34:25] in a five-year capital plan

[34:26] again, we'll get into some

[34:28] more of those details. Next

[34:33] slides. Grant funds. We

[34:34] sometimes have some challenges

[34:36] to budget those exactly. Those

[34:41] numbers are based on what we

[34:43] are But usually within the

[34:46] mpo. But final number will be

[34:49] determined by the results.

[34:50] Usually a percentage of fat

[34:53] like 80 20 split. So we budget

[34:54] these as best we can based on

[34:57] those big dates and

[35:05] anticipated that results. The

[35:06] slide will be a budget

[35:08] breakdown by character. We

[35:10] have character one through 5.

[35:13] And if you're not familiar

[35:16] character one, as for our

[35:18] personnel cost. That's the

[35:20] labor and the wages that we

[35:22] pay all a far employees,

[35:23] whether by weekly or union and

[35:25] also health care is included

[35:29] in that as well. Character to

[35:33] supplies character, 3 services

[35:35] character for of Capital and

[35:39] character. 5 charge backs.

[35:40] You'll see the biggest

[35:41] increases this year will be

[35:43] within the character for

[35:46] capital for about 71 million

[35:49] and character. One person now

[35:50] we've got an increase of about

[35:57] 2.8 million there. Getting

[35:59] into our engineering division.

[36:01] That's one of the 5 divisions

[36:08] within dpw. The primary

[36:11] increase obviously and capital

[36:15] character for and that that's

[36:16] largely where doing on the

[36:17] road and bridge projects that

[36:21] you you for the board getting

[36:22] presented for the bet Awards

[36:27] and everything. On the right.

[36:31] We have a chart based on the

[36:34] program breakdown. This was a

[36:36] new process last year that we

[36:38] introduced of breaking down

[36:39] the budget within the programs

[36:42] we think of these kind of what

[36:44] are we offering the city? What

[36:46] is it? We're doing that then

[36:49] they can c and name this is

[36:53] what programs the department

[36:55] is offering. So the largest

[36:56] bucket. There's our

[36:58] transportation capital. When

[37:00] we get into the top line there

[37:02] of administrative that would

[37:04] include overhead costs,

[37:07] personnel, that character one

[37:08] technology vehicles, things

[37:10] like that.

[37:16] I'm sorry. What is not

[37:19] captured in the budget package

[37:22] is the 10 million

[37:24] appropriation of 2026

[37:26] supplemental covid this

[37:29] funding will be used to comply

[37:33] with sca 1, 7, 9, the matching

[37:36] requirement for 2027. This

[37:37] money will be used for the

[37:39] street rehabilitation projects

[37:42] and those are targeted too.

[37:44] Start construction. Early

[37:46] 2027. Have more information on

[37:50] this within the Capitol plan.

[37:55] Slides in the next few slides.

[37:59] Getting into operations.

[38:01] Again, largely the increase

[38:02] here we'll see is character

[38:08] one person now including the

[38:10] 3% cola biweekly. I'm sorry,

[38:11] biweekly Paula. Then cba

[38:15] increase for the Union. We

[38:16] also have some increased and

[38:24] our contractual. Character 3.

[38:24] The budgets. When we talk

[38:28] about character too, for

[38:29] operations, that's where we

[38:31] have most of our money for

[38:32] character, too. And that's

[38:33] going to be all of the

[38:35] procurement of salt asked fall

[38:39] the traffic signal components,

[38:42] hardware, signs, pain,

[38:43] everything that keeps our

[38:51] crews move in every day. Like

[38:55] to highlight. We had the

[38:57] motion approved earlier this

[39:00] meeting for the geo Bond to

[39:03] provide the 15 million in

[39:07] capital funding for a new

[39:08] operations facility. As

[39:09] mentioned. This is very

[39:10] exciting. It's been decades in

[39:16] the works this will involve

[39:17] consolidating some of the

[39:23] garages and providing much

[39:24] much needed upgrades to our

[39:27] our facilities for workers.

[39:28] Key point I'd like to mention,

[39:31] too, is the improved storage

[39:33] capability that will have for

[39:34] all of the equipment that we

[39:37] have been investing in. So

[39:40] that when we get good, solid

[39:42] garage up and running, that

[39:44] can be the safe haven for all

[39:45] of the equipment that we've

[39:48] been purchasing.

[39:53] Getting into solid waste

[39:55] division, shout out to their

[39:57] crews as well for all the work

[39:58] they've been doing with this

[40:00] flood response lately. And

[40:04] they've been out helping to

[40:06] get the debris and trash not

[40:09] only picked up that sordid

[40:10] appropriately and disposed of

[40:13] appropriately as well. We'll

[40:15] see most of their increase

[40:18] just in character. One, the

[40:23] character, 3 services. That is

[40:25] the bulk of what have their

[40:28] budget with them. And this

[40:30] would be for all of the holler

[40:31] contracts that we have

[40:34] residential waste collection

[40:36] And also thank you to our

[40:37] partners, the our contractual

[40:41] partners with the flood

[40:42] response that they've helped

[40:49] us along with. All see and

[40:50] planning largest increase

[40:55] here. Personnel. We have Let's

[40:59] policy and planning houses the

[41:03] office of Sustainability, the

[41:04] environmental group that does

[41:06] talks drop. We will be adding

[41:09] a new location next year and

[41:13] they have since also added

[41:15] additional days that the Perry

[41:23] location. We. You'll see most

[41:24] of the budget sits within

[41:28] central administrative and

[41:29] it's that kind of hard to call

[41:33] out the programs here with

[41:34] division because they wear

[41:37] many hats and kind of more

[41:38] behind the scenes with

[41:40] everything that we're doing

[41:41] you know, personally finance

[41:43] where in policy and planning

[41:47] so give do is to my team. I

[41:48] looked at the numbers last

[41:51] night and we have processed

[41:53] over 300 contracts each year.

[41:57] Since 2022. And so that is a

[42:00] result of everything that you

[42:04] all during our board meetings

[42:07] and beyond. And that that back

[42:08] end of keeping those moving

[42:11] through process that, you

[42:13] know, helps get the job

[42:14] started sooner. Contractors

[42:16] paid sooner. Jobs finished

[42:22] dinner. And then last but not

[42:27] least we have fleet. There

[42:28] increases with most of the

[42:31] others, we have character one

[42:33] increases for personnel and

[42:37] character. 3 for services.

[42:41] We've previously for

[42:43] additional appropriations

[42:45] within specifically character

[42:46] 3 in previous years to help

[42:51] with the cost of maintaining

[42:52] and fixing some of our

[42:53] specialized equipment. So just

[42:58] a reminder, fleet does

[42:59] maintain the vehicles and

[43:00] equipment for the whole city.

[43:03] Not just dpw. So when we start

[43:07] talking about some of like the

[43:09] fire equipment, specialized,

[43:10] heavy machinery, some of that

[43:14] needs to be outsourced to

[43:16] either vendors to work on that

[43:17] equipment. And that is where

[43:18] we see that rising character,

[43:23] 3 cost. So this year, getting

[43:24] bump up for them in their

[43:26] budget and their base budget

[43:28] will be really helpful.

[43:36] And then a How we've been

[43:38] prioritizing investment in our

[43:44] equipment. Even since we

[43:46] presented this slide 2 weeks

[43:48] ago, we 3 more units to the

[43:52] solid waste line. So it's a 16

[43:57] units we've since had 3 more

[43:58] Packers delivered and are out

[44:04] on the street. It's been a big

[44:07] group effort to be able to

[44:08] spend this kind of money and

[44:10] see this kind of result so

[44:11] fast with the procurement

[44:13] process. So we've received

[44:16] 100% of those solid waste

[44:18] units within 7 months of

[44:23] placing the order. So that

[44:25] that above and beyond what we

[44:30] ever expect. And then with the

[44:31] operations group, we've got

[44:36] the new additions to this. No

[44:39] response team. A fleet for

[44:41] about 12 full-size trucks and

[44:47] 20 to one times. The

[44:48] additional street maintenance

[44:50] equipment that we want

[44:52] purchase. There's about 37.

[44:54] Different types of machinery.

[44:58] We have prepared. We have the

[45:00] paint minor street repair

[45:01] equipment, mowers, bucket

[45:06] trucks. Anything like that.

[45:10] Highlighting some of our

[45:14] grants. The one we Mark Saint

[45:16] reference earlier here is the

[45:19] safe streets for all grant. We

[45:22] have phase 2 scoping, but

[45:25] you'll just awarded earlier

[45:27] and that provide about

[45:29] 20 million to safe, safe

[45:32] streets for all infrastructure

[45:39] updates. We also have. The

[45:42] office of sustainability with

[45:45] ecb g Grant. We have recently

[45:48] taking a new energy manager

[45:51] and they're working alongside

[45:53] Purdue with this grant. That

[45:55] is a study and energy

[45:57] consumption of government

[45:59] buildings with the goal to

[46:01] retrofit it with green

[46:04] infrastructure from there. And

[46:06] then here we have some grants

[46:10] and action. The usda grant, we

[46:13] have planted just over 1800

[46:16] trees. You see the nickel

[46:20] plate trail. This one huge

[46:22] collaborative effort with

[46:24] multiple funding sources

[46:26] between the grants and the sea

[46:29] icf connected Communities

[46:31] program and then Merck's pill

[46:34] and am removal. That is they

[46:37] us sorry U.S. Fish and

[46:39] Wildlife Grant to preserve the

[46:42] ecosystem. Getting into our

[46:45] capital improvement plan. I

[46:48] will pass it off to you. Chief

[46:50] financial officers and their

[46:52] Thank you, Margaret. And you

[46:55] thank you to both Margaret and

[46:58] Antony. Start earlier, revenue

[47:01] manager for extensive work on

[47:03] this year's budget. I mean it

[47:05] it presented here in AUGUST,

[47:07] but this is really work that

[47:09] starts as early as APRIL. And

[47:12] we do it every year. So the

[47:15] budget process is a lot. But I

[47:17] think that it leads to lots of

[47:20] important conversations about

[47:22] how we prioritize our

[47:25] resources depreciate the

[47:27] opportunity to get to talk

[47:30] about it with this body as

[47:32] well. Moving on to the capital

[47:35] improvement plan just as a

[47:37] reminder, dpw produces

[47:39] five-year capital improvement

[47:40] plans. Every year we present

[47:42] them to our Council Public

[47:43] Works Committee represent them

[47:46] to this board. They're not

[47:48] formally voted on, but they're

[47:50] part of our budget package and

[47:52] make it endorsed through the

[47:54] approval of the the overall

[47:56] budget itself. We produce to

[47:57] capital plans produce one for

[47:59] the stormwater side and one

[48:00] for the transportation side.

[48:02] So we'll We'll show them

[48:03] separately here this year. A

[48:05] lot of work has gone into how

[48:07] these are put together. I

[48:08] think we've made some changes

[48:10] that are helpful the sake of

[48:12] transparency, both internally

[48:13] and externally. And I hope

[48:15] that that those changes are

[48:17] apparent and helpful to to

[48:19] folks as we present this

[48:21] information. So with that

[48:23] said, first up, going to talk

[48:24] about storm water, which is

[48:25] the smaller of the 2 programs,

[48:27] but also very important. Well,

[48:29] you can see here is our storm

[48:32] water funding and expenses

[48:34] broken down for each of the 5

[48:38] years in the capital plan. You

[48:40] can see about 139 million

[48:42] dollars of funding and again,

[48:45] this is a this is mostly a

[48:47] reminder, but capital plans

[48:49] are always intentionally over

[48:51] program. This means expenses

[48:53] will always exceed the amount

[48:54] of funding in the plan. This

[48:55] is because we want to make

[48:57] sure we have an ample pipeline

[48:58] of projects, projects

[49:00] schedules, move around for all

[49:02] sorts of reasons. And we faced

[49:04] delays who want to make sure

[49:06] that we have projects ready to

[49:08] go teed up to make use of that

[49:09] funding. In general. We try to

[49:11] have less over programming in

[49:13] the early years because we

[49:15] need to be able to it make

[49:16] immediate decisions about its

[49:17] schedules and things like

[49:20] that. And so you'll see more

[49:21] over programming in the out

[49:23] years of the capital plan. So

[49:24] I'm not going to go through

[49:26] every single line here, but I

[49:28] did just want to call out 2

[49:30] things about the stormwater

[49:31] capital plan. And first on

[49:33] this plan, you'll see new bond

[49:35] funds that 2026 storm water

[49:38] bond proceeds line those as

[49:40] you heard today, those

[49:43] declaratory resolutions and

[49:45] other bond auctions usually go

[49:47] through this board as well.

[49:49] That 50 million dollars is

[49:51] money. We issued that

[49:54] supporting a whole whole

[49:55] variety of projects over the

[49:58] next 2 years. That's why you

[49:59] see the funding split between

[50:01] 2026 2027. So excited to have

[50:03] that funding those projects

[50:05] moving. And then second, I

[50:07] want to be clear about

[50:09] something that's come up in

[50:11] public discussions about our

[50:12] budget and we're going to

[50:14] you're going to see on a on a

[50:16] a few slides down. This year.

[50:18] Our budget includes using

[50:20] 5 million dollars of storm

[50:22] water fees. That's going to

[50:24] show up on the transportation

[50:26] capital program. And you're

[50:28] going to see that as a line

[50:30] listed there. And while we're

[50:32] here talking about storm

[50:34] water, I just want to be clear

[50:36] that we did not cut any storm

[50:38] water projects. We did not

[50:40] reduce the scope of any storm

[50:42] water projects, the stormwater

[50:43] capital plan has had that

[50:44] revenue backfilled by a couple

[50:46] different sources and by

[50:48] reductions in administrative

[50:50] costs. And so. The amount of

[50:51] storm water fees going to

[50:54] storm water, capital assets is

[50:57] increased in this budget, not

[50:59] decreased. It just happens

[51:02] that 5 million dollars is

[51:04] showing up on the

[51:07] transportation side of the

[51:10] ledger. We're going to be

[51:15] working on a huge pipeline of

[51:18] roadway projects over the next

[51:21] 5 years. Those projects. In

[51:25] many cases have stormwater

[51:29] components, whether it's

[51:33] regrading the rotors, actual

[51:36] investments in new storm water

[51:40] drains and culverts and things

[51:43] like that. And so we are we're

[51:47] excited about all that work.

[51:50] And I just wanted to be clear

[51:52] that we're not we're not

[51:55] cutting stormwater projects to

[51:59] make that happen. It is it is.

[52:02] Something that again, you'll

[52:06] see here in a couple slides.

[52:10] But I just wanted to talk

[52:13] about here with what we have

[52:17] the stormwater information on

[52:21] the screen. Moving This slide

[52:24] breaks down the 156 million

[52:28] dollars of expenses in the

[52:32] categories. Again, not going

[52:34] to talk about every role you

[52:38] can see. The biggest category

[52:41] here is surface drainage

[52:44] projects, but you can see the

[52:47] other types of projects that

[52:49] we have in our pipeline.

[52:52] Moving on to the

[52:55] transportation capital plan.

[52:57] So before I show you the large

[53:00] table that barely fits on the

[53:03] screen here is hopefully an

[53:07] easier break down to to look

[53:11] at the funding sources by so

[53:13] you can see on the left side

[53:17] of the screen, you have a pie

[53:20] chart that breaks down our

[53:23] funding. That 1.2, 2 billion

[53:26] dollars into buckets. So you

[53:29] have general fund sources

[53:33] which General city revenues

[53:36] that could in theory be used

[53:39] for lots of different city

[53:43] purposes. You have

[53:45] transportation taxes. That's

[53:48] mostly going to be state road

[53:50] funding distributions which

[53:53] come from gas tax and things

[53:55] like that. Other dpw revenues

[53:58] which are specific to the

[54:02] department, but not

[54:05] necessarily roadways. The

[54:07] Marion County Cmg line. That's

[54:12] the 50 million dollars a year

[54:14] from the state and its

[54:16] 200 million because there's

[54:19] only 4 years about funding in

[54:22] the capital plan. 27. 28 29.

[54:25] 30. And then you have one

[54:28] time. Sources like fun

[54:31] proceeds council fiscal

[54:34] actions, money that's rolled

[54:38] over from prior years. You can

[54:40] see that in pink. You can see

[54:43] grandson external. A lot of

[54:45] that's going to be mpo

[54:48] funding. But some of that's

[54:51] going to be from other federal

[54:53] grants as well. And then you

[54:55] can see support from tif

[54:58] districts, whether it's part

[55:02] of an economic development

[55:05] initiative or whether it's

[55:08] just general tips support for

[55:11] the capital. On the right side

[55:15] of the screen. What we've

[55:18] broken out is the ongoing

[55:21] resources in each year of the

[55:24] capital plan. So this is

[55:28] excluding all the one-time

[55:31] money. It's excluding the

[55:34] federal, the federal dollars

[55:37] that are part of our capital

[55:42] Port program and just focusing

[55:46] on kind of the stuff on the

[55:50] right side of pie chart. And

[55:54] you can see the funding

[55:59] growing from 58 million

[56:04] dollars in 2026. And then up

[56:09] to 190 million dollars as we

[56:13] later on new commitments from

[56:19] local income taxes and the new

[56:23] 50 million dollars from the

[56:28] state. And so again, you can

[56:33] see see that growth on an

[56:37] ongoing basis. And here you

[56:41] have the full version of what

[56:46] I showed you on the prior

[56:50] slide broken broken down into

[56:53] much more detail. They kind of

[56:57] follow the same category

[57:00] conventions. So transportation

[57:03] specific funding includes

[57:06] 360 million dollars. General

[57:11] city revenues. Again, this is

[57:16] mostly going to be local

[57:21] income taxes, adding up to

[57:25] 385 million dollars over 5

[57:30] years. You can see the onetime

[57:34] appropriations that would

[57:38] include, for example, the

[57:41] 40 million dollar bond

[57:45] issuance that we just

[57:48] finalized recently came

[57:52] through this board for

[57:54] approval so that that money is

[57:57] showing up down there in the

[58:00] onetime section. And the

[58:03] reason we do that is to make

[58:05] it clear. Okay, what's actual?

[58:09] New resources that we have to

[58:12] dedicate in the budget every

[58:15] year versus a one-time

[58:18] supplement to what we're

[58:21] doing. And then down below,

[58:25] you can see 60 million dollars

[58:28] from economic development

[58:32] sources and just under

[58:35] 300 million dollars in

[58:39] external funding. Most of that

[58:42] being from from federal

[58:45] sources. Again, you see the

[58:49] storm water fees showing up

[58:52] there 5 million a year

[58:55] starting in 2027 that I just

[58:58] discussed a moment ago. And so

[59:01] I do want to just state this

[59:05] because guessing there's going

[59:08] to be questions about this.

[59:11] And we went into a fair bit

[59:14] detail about this a couple

[59:17] weeks back. That committee,

[59:19] the wheel tax money from

[59:22] proposal, one 92, it's

[59:27] projected generate about

[59:30] 70 million dollars a year is

[59:32] not in this capital plan. So

[59:34] it's not appropriated as part

[59:36] of the budget. It's not

[59:38] showing up here in this this

[59:40] capital plan as I think. We

[59:43] walked through probably

[59:45] excruciating detail a couple

[59:47] weeks back. Dpw has invested

[59:49] substantial time and effort

[59:50] into the framework for making

[59:53] quick decisions about how to

[59:55] prioritize roadway

[59:57] investments. And Mark did a

[59:58] great job spelling out what

[1:00:00] that process looks like. So

[1:00:01] all say about the proposal.

[1:00:03] One 92 revenue is to the

[1:00:05] extent that it generates

[1:00:07] revenue. That's not included

[1:00:09] in this capital plan. Dpw is

[1:00:11] well positioned to make

[1:00:14] allocation decisions that

[1:00:16] optimize that money. And so,

[1:00:18] you know, obviously those

[1:00:20] conversations are going to

[1:00:23] continue in the weeks and

[1:00:25] months to come in. You know,

[1:00:27] we're we're we're ready for a

[1:00:30] larger volume of capital

[1:00:32] funding. Wherever that comes

[1:00:35] from. All right. This next

[1:00:37] large table breaks down our

[1:00:40] transportation capital plan by

[1:00:42] programmatic funding area.

[1:00:45] Again, this is a little bit

[1:00:46] different than how we've

[1:00:48] broken down playing in the

[1:00:49] past or just said this is how

[1:00:51] much goes to streets or

[1:00:53] bridges or whatever. This this

[1:00:55] gives you a little bit more

[1:00:57] detail about how we kind of

[1:00:58] control our budget internally.

[1:00:59] And I hope I hope this this

[1:01:01] helps folks get their heads

[1:01:03] around it. But I think it's

[1:01:04] been helpful. Exit exercise

[1:01:06] for us to even put together

[1:01:07] like this. Again, you'll see

[1:01:08] that that 1.3 billion dollar

[1:01:11] total spending number. I'm not

[1:01:14] going to go through every

[1:01:17] single one of these

[1:01:21] categories. But you do see,

[1:01:24] you know that the biggest

[1:01:28] batch here is thoroughfare

[1:01:31] projects at 467 million

[1:01:35] thoroughfare and major

[1:01:38] secondary streets. That is in

[1:01:40] of itself. A total. There are

[1:01:44] different types of projects

[1:01:46] that live under that category

[1:01:49] from minor rehab projects that

[1:01:52] are going to look kind of like

[1:01:56] the strip patching projects.

[1:01:58] But more on the curb to curb a

[1:02:01] sus 2 full on road

[1:02:05] reconstruction We've we've

[1:02:07] rolled up that, you know,

[1:02:11] those different types of

[1:02:14] projects in the one line

[1:02:18] there. We have left broken out

[1:02:20] some some things like

[1:02:23] preventative maintenance, for

[1:02:27] example, where we're being

[1:02:29] explicit about wanting to do

[1:02:32] more things like crack sealing

[1:02:34] to maintain our assets. That's

[1:02:37] a big staple of our I said

[1:02:40] management plan. We broke that

[1:02:42] strip patching because I think

[1:02:45] Kimberly because people are

[1:02:47] used to seeing it broken out

[1:02:50] on this page. I think again

[1:02:53] and a lot of cases, these

[1:02:56] minor rehab projects that are

[1:02:58] engineering department is

[1:03:01] working on might look and feel

[1:03:04] like the strip patching

[1:03:06] projects and the speed in

[1:03:09] which they rolled out when

[1:03:12] they can happen in the season.

[1:03:15] But the you know, strip

[1:03:17] patching remains as an option

[1:03:20] for emergency repairs and

[1:03:23] getting our roadways into, you

[1:03:26] know, safe condition as

[1:03:29] needed. And then. You see

[1:03:31] local street funding which is

[1:03:34] increased to 24 million a year

[1:03:37] starting in 2027 again within

[1:03:40] that category. There's

[1:03:43] different types of projects to

[1:03:46] different sorts of treatments

[1:03:48] depending on. What the

[1:03:51] condition of the roadway is.

[1:03:54] But still, I think helps to

[1:03:56] give a sense of of how we've

[1:03:58] made allocation decisions. And

[1:04:00] then there's the different

[1:04:03] buckets of of federal types of

[1:04:06] projects and those are broken

[1:04:08] out because well, you could

[1:04:09] combine mpo streets with our

[1:04:12] other street categories.

[1:04:14] Oftentimes the goals are a

[1:04:16] little bit different rate the

[1:04:18] goals with these projects are

[1:04:21] typically more than asset

[1:04:23] management. Often safety

[1:04:25] focused and have, you know.

[1:04:27] Bigger picture goals than just

[1:04:29] extending the life of the

[1:04:30] asset. Moving on to the next

[1:04:31] slide. Here's a kind of rolled

[1:04:33] up version of what I just

[1:04:35] showed. You said that the

[1:04:38] numbers here are the same. No

[1:04:40] match up. But we've broken it

[1:04:42] down into thoroughfares and

[1:04:44] secondary streets, which is

[1:04:46] the biggest category. You can

[1:04:47] see bridge projects, local

[1:04:48] road projects, preventative

[1:04:49] maintenance and repairs.

[1:04:51] Again, that would include

[1:04:53] preventative maintenance

[1:04:54] strip, patching the job or

[1:04:56] contract program that we used

[1:04:58] to make fast repairs when

[1:04:59] things like guardrails or

[1:05:00] damaged. And then economic

[1:05:02] development, which is usually

[1:05:03] funded by specific tip funding

[1:05:04] for, you know, something like.

[1:05:06] Georgia Street or some of the

[1:05:07] work we're doing, by the way,

[1:05:08] campus, things like that

[1:05:09] multi-modal, it's going to be

[1:05:11] sidewalks and greenways

[1:05:12] traffic others is a mix of

[1:05:14] things. It would include

[1:05:16] things like the community

[1:05:17] powered infrastructure program

[1:05:18] that. Don't necessarily fall

[1:05:20] into one category could affect

[1:05:21] different types of

[1:05:22] infrastructure. Finally, as

[1:05:23] always, here's a report on xp

[1:05:24] spending breakdown. Not going

[1:05:25] to go into detail on this, but

[1:05:27] we we provide this along with

[1:05:28] their budget every year. It's

[1:05:31] available. Happy to answer

[1:05:32] questions about it. With that,

[1:05:33] I'm sure you all have some

[1:05:34] questions for us. We got a

[1:05:36] bunch of people from dpw

[1:05:37] present. So hopefully we

[1:05:39] hopefully we can Thank you

[1:05:40] very much. Cfo Sanderson

[1:05:42] assistance cfo Margaret

[1:05:43] Wilson, for that, the tow

[1:05:45] breakdown of our budget by

[1:05:46] ordinance. We are to bring the

[1:05:48] budget before the board for

[1:05:49] review. So that's what we're

[1:05:50] doing will open it up for the

[1:05:51] group Texan questions or

[1:05:52] comments. Please. Jump in.

[1:05:53] Couple of higher level

[1:05:54] questions here budget for

[1:05:55] inflation. Are these old 20

[1:05:56] $26? These are all in 20 $26.

[1:05:58] Thank in. Seeing staffing. It

[1:05:59] was member of vacant positions

[1:06:01] the engineering due to my

[1:06:02] heart shows 11 vacancies, new

[1:06:03] future here. But is the money

[1:06:05] for those for those positions

[1:06:06] in the budget. Yes, yes. The

[1:06:07] money for those positions is

[1:06:08] in the budget. As Margaret

[1:06:10] mentioned, when she went over

[1:06:11] the slide. The good news is we

[1:06:12] have had success getting

[1:06:14] people in some important

[1:06:16] Obviously, you know, I'm not

[1:06:18] going to sit here and say that

[1:06:19] filling some of these roses

[1:06:21] and a challenge, especially,

[1:06:23] you know, the more technical

[1:06:25] they get the smaller pool of

[1:06:27] people out there. You know, it

[1:06:29] exists to fill that specific

[1:06:30] role. But the money for these

[1:06:33] lines is absolutely included

[1:06:35] in the budget. We're hopeful

[1:06:36] that some citywide policy

[1:06:38] changes like stepping grade

[1:06:40] will make it easier compensate

[1:06:42] people for their experience

[1:06:44] with the city and keep people

[1:06:46] in those roles. When we do get

[1:06:48] them. But obviously, you know,

[1:06:50] given the amount of output in

[1:06:52] our capital program, making

[1:06:53] sure that engineering is

[1:06:55] staffed and has the tools that

[1:06:58] they need is you know, we

[1:07:00] agree. It's it's a critical

[1:07:02] time for that. Just thank you.

[1:07:03] It's good to know the revenue

[1:07:05] sources for 2027. What it was

[1:07:06] based on is that conservatives

[1:07:08] are really get how sure you of

[1:07:10] this, you have a new sources.

[1:07:12] Kind of it's kind of different

[1:07:14] for everyone. So I can walk

[1:07:16] through This isn't every

[1:07:17] single source of revenue the

[1:07:19] dpw has. This is like our 5

[1:07:20] biggest revenue sources and

[1:07:21] again, I would note here just

[1:07:23] for clarity that will tax

[1:07:24] number that 16.6 That's the

[1:07:26] pre proposal. One 92 baseline,

[1:07:27] which is why at 16 and not 86

[1:07:28] or something. So the first

[1:07:29] line that's our state road

[1:07:30] funding distributions that we

[1:07:31] we hear so much about. And so

[1:07:33] the main thing driving the

[1:07:34] growth there is is that there

[1:07:35] is a gas, excise tax and

[1:07:36] special fuel tax inflator. I'm

[1:07:37] so like next year, JULY first,

[1:07:38] 2027. There will be a penny

[1:07:39] increase under statute for the

[1:07:40] gas, excise tax and a $0.02

[1:07:41] increase for the special feels

[1:07:42] tax. So that's driving. That's

[1:07:43] pretty much where you're

[1:07:44] getting that 3% growth. This

[1:07:45] from that inflator. The storm

[1:07:46] water user fee has inflator in

[1:07:47] local ordinance. So it goes up

[1:07:49] by a little bit over 3%. The

[1:07:51] rate that's built on people's

[1:07:52] monthly stormwater bills. It's

[1:07:53] paid through the property tax

[1:07:54] system. So most of the growth

[1:07:55] comes from that. Although we

[1:07:57] do have a little bit of

[1:07:58] measured, impervious surface

[1:07:59] area growth every year as

[1:08:00] well. That helps contribute to

[1:08:01] stormwater revenue growth. The

[1:08:02] solid waste user Any growth to

[1:08:03] be driven by adding additional

[1:08:05] parcels. So one thing that's

[1:08:06] been beneficial this year is

[1:08:07] our rollout of the lrs

[1:08:08] contract has resulted a chance

[1:08:09] to kind of holistically. Look

[1:08:11] at our address is that we're

[1:08:12] providing service to in those

[1:08:13] contractor We have been able

[1:08:14] to make some updates there and

[1:08:15] then that solid Waste, Special

[1:08:16] Service District is that's

[1:08:18] that's a property tax levy,

[1:08:18] which its property taxes. And

[1:08:19] then there's other Associated

[1:08:20] State money that comes with

[1:08:21] property tax distributions.

[1:08:22] That is. Kind of a general

[1:08:23] city revenue in the sense that

[1:08:24] it's property taxes, but it is

[1:08:25] specific to the spot. Solid

[1:08:26] waste, Special services

[1:08:27] district since actually

[1:08:28] approved separately as part of

[1:08:29] the annual budget process.

[1:08:30] That was a long answer. Your

[1:08:31] question. But basically it's

[1:08:32] all it's all dependent on the

[1:08:33] revenue source. And there's

[1:08:35] different factors that drive

[1:08:36] growth in each of them. Sure.

[1:08:38] But but reasonable based on

[1:08:40] what we know today, correct.

[1:08:41] The Office of Finance and

[1:08:42] Management has a lot of

[1:08:44] conservative practices that

[1:08:46] you don't see here. And one of

[1:08:47] them is like things like

[1:08:48] interest revenue, which we

[1:08:49] generate a lot of the city has

[1:08:51] a lot of money in the bank

[1:08:53] that generates a return.

[1:08:55] Interest is an example of

[1:08:56] something that's typically

[1:08:57] either not budgeted or very

[1:08:59] conservatively budgeted. And

[1:09:01] fm has like a bunch of

[1:09:03] citywide protocols. They used

[1:09:04] to make sure that there are

[1:09:05] conservative assumptions baked

[1:09:07] into not just our budget but

[1:09:08] every city agency when they go

[1:09:09] through the revenue

[1:09:11] forecasting process. Thank you

[1:09:12] in know you're gonna street

[1:09:14] lighting was a an issue in

[1:09:16] those negotiations. I think

[1:09:18] going on with the U.S. Far

[1:09:19] rates. And that's where is all

[1:09:20] been resolved this budget

[1:09:22] contains. The green numbers.

[1:09:23] Yeah, there is rate increase

[1:09:25] and forgive me. I I don't know

[1:09:26] the date goes into effect. But

[1:09:28] we half that planned and

[1:09:29] budgeted. Just it's within our

[1:09:31] engineering division.

[1:09:32] Dream number. And on the

[1:09:33] right, we the budget for

[1:09:34] street like utilities. There.

[1:09:35] And that's We're that increase

[1:09:36] with a yes, no. Okay. So it's

[1:09:37] so you know, for sure that's

[1:09:38] good. And I want at this for

[1:09:40] sure is maybe a bit too, just

[1:09:41] in you know what? With with

[1:09:42] knowing that the increase is

[1:09:43] coming we can look at that

[1:09:43] previous bills and and take

[1:09:44] that percentage go from there

[1:09:45] with with that include

[1:09:46] increased tree lighting.

[1:09:47] Whereas I think that would

[1:09:48] maybe be more with we can

[1:09:49] project themselves within the

[1:09:50] capital program for what

[1:09:51] street lights would come out

[1:09:52] from there. Ok, thank you for

[1:09:53] that. Moving on to storm

[1:09:54] water. Storm water capital,

[1:09:54] 12.8 million the bit. That

[1:09:55] would go pretty fast. I would

[1:09:56] think. Spurs and number. And

[1:09:57] you know, the expenditures as

[1:09:58] we as we show yet. 26 27.

[1:09:59] Okay. But then the really go

[1:09:59] down. 28 29, 30. Because we're

[1:10:01] not gonna lot of these

[1:10:02] projects off the list or is it

[1:10:02] because that could back

[1:10:03] because it will be moving some

[1:10:05] of the projects out beyond

[1:10:05] 2030. So a couple. Point of

[1:10:07] clarification. So earlier on

[1:10:07] we have our our budget broken

[1:10:08] out into program. Attic

[1:10:08] categories and that is those

[1:10:09] are numbers that are like

[1:10:10] literally included in the

[1:10:10] budget ordinance. The council

[1:10:11] has to adopt and get submitted

[1:10:12] to the state. The capital plan

[1:10:12] itself includes a mix of

[1:10:13] creation, is that are included

[1:10:14] in the next year's budget. And

[1:10:14] then also other funding

[1:10:15] sources. So like, for example,

[1:10:16] you see here. The grant

[1:10:17] funding, the bought the bond

[1:10:18] proceeds. Those are

[1:10:19] necessarily included in the

[1:10:20] appropriation totals that you

[1:10:21] see on budget slide site. It's

[1:10:21] kind of easier to talk about

[1:10:22] the stormwater capital plan

[1:10:23] here because it's a more

[1:10:24] holistic picture. To answer

[1:10:25] your question. Like there.

[1:10:25] There's almost always when you

[1:10:26] look at the 5 year capital

[1:10:27] plan. A trend like this, where

[1:10:27] you're going to see more work

[1:10:28] in the front years because we

[1:10:28] just have more information

[1:10:29] about the funding that's

[1:10:30] available to us in the earlier

[1:10:30] years. We know what grants we

[1:10:31] currently have awarded. We

[1:10:32] might not know what grants

[1:10:33] will have awarded in 2030 that

[1:10:33] we're currently spending

[1:10:34] funding on. We've applied, you

[1:10:35] know, we've applied for storm

[1:10:36] water related project funding

[1:10:37] that we hope to have access

[1:10:38] to. But we don't included in

[1:10:39] here until we have a pretty

[1:10:39] good sense. It's actually

[1:10:40] going to be available to us.

[1:10:41] The bond issuances, you know,

[1:10:41] we got to the point where we

[1:10:42] can say with 100% confidence

[1:10:43] that it was a good time to

[1:10:43] move forward with fish and

[1:10:44] 50 million dollars and more

[1:10:45] bonds, a sponsor rated

[1:10:45] Triple-a when they reviewed by

[1:10:46] a credit rating agency. As

[1:10:47] always, you know, we have

[1:10:47] extremely good credit and

[1:10:48] robust fight. Financial

[1:10:49] management strategies for the

[1:10:49] district. At this point, we

[1:10:50] don't have another bond

[1:10:50] issuance showing up in one of

[1:10:51] the out years. But that

[1:10:52] doesn't mean that there's no

[1:10:53] possible way that the city

[1:10:53] will issue more storm water

[1:10:54] pond. So I think part of this

[1:10:55] is just a little bit more

[1:10:55] certainty around what

[1:10:56] resources you have available

[1:10:57] in the earlier years. But

[1:10:58] yeah, continue to work to

[1:10:59] identify funding sources

[1:11:00] whether its external or

[1:11:01] internal to find more storm

[1:11:02] water projects as we move

[1:11:02] forward. That I could add as

[1:11:03] well. I know you had mentioned

[1:11:04] the 12 million from that

[1:11:05] programs of slide for

[1:11:06] engineering for the storm

[1:11:07] water division. But this slide

[1:11:08] again does do better job of

[1:11:08] breaking that down where that

[1:11:09] first column top half the

[1:11:11] local funds, that's kind of

[1:11:12] about what that 10.9 would for

[1:11:13] going to torch that capital

[1:11:14] program of those dedicated

[1:11:16] funds and then beyond that,

[1:11:17] still, we have that

[1:11:19] 48 Million. That is the

[1:11:20] additional funds that Sam was

[1:11:21] mentioning with Bonds and

[1:11:23] prior year carryover, anything

[1:11:24] like that. So that does add to

[1:11:25] that program robustly from

[1:11:27] there. Okay. So it's quite

[1:11:28] possible that in these later

[1:11:29] years. 28 29 30, that more

[1:11:30] revenues could come up

[1:11:32] projects to be done. We just

[1:11:33] haven't. Yeah. So my guess is

[1:11:34] when we're presenting, let's

[1:11:35] say that 2028 through 2032

[1:11:36] capital plan and a couple of

[1:11:37] years that the number for 2028

[1:11:37] will be higher than what

[1:11:38] you're you're seeing here,

[1:11:39] that if you look back at prior

[1:11:40] year capital plan, that's

[1:11:41] almost always the way it

[1:11:42] works. We present a five-year

[1:11:42] capital plan with the funding

[1:11:43] that we know to be available.

[1:11:44] I want piggyback on that,

[1:11:45] though. I see the storm. Water

[1:11:46] user fees are here. Get This

[1:11:47] one is expenditures. This

[1:11:47] particular table that we're

[1:11:48] looking right now this. So

[1:11:49] this this table, it is more

[1:11:49] the revenue table. So this is

[1:11:50] showing this is showing

[1:11:51] sources of funding for the

[1:11:52] stormwater program. Adding up

[1:11:52] to 139 million dollars over 5

[1:11:53] years. Okay. And so but we

[1:11:54] have just fees for inflation

[1:11:55] every year. So this to the

[1:11:56] stormwater fee that the storm

[1:11:57] water user fee. Has an

[1:11:58] inflation adjuster that goes

[1:11:59] through 2030, 40 in our local

[1:12:00] municipal ordinance. And so

[1:12:00] right now, it's bill, like

[1:12:01] there's base billing unit late

[1:12:02] assigned to each property in

[1:12:02] the area. Right now, I think

[1:12:05] it's a $1.65 per be which

[1:12:06] admittedly a confusing fee

[1:12:09] structure. So take. To get it.

[1:12:14] What you're question. The

[1:12:15] storm, water user fee funds a

[1:12:17] bunch of different stuff and

[1:12:18] dpw is budget. So it is a

[1:12:21] funding source for our channel

[1:12:22] Maintenance subdivision of

[1:12:23] operations. For example, it

[1:12:25] helps cover the cost of our

[1:12:30] forestry Division and the

[1:12:30] Capital program is one of the

[1:12:34] things that it helps not

[1:12:35] shown. Here is the debt

[1:12:36] service that we're using it

[1:12:39] for. So, you know, there's a

[1:12:40] substantial chunk of

[1:12:41] stormwater fees that goes to

[1:12:43] debt service on. Year. Bond

[1:12:44] issuances that we've used to

[1:12:45] from the stormwater capital

[1:12:51] plan. So the I'm sorry, what

[1:12:55] was your question? I think I

[1:12:56] can step into. I think the

[1:12:59] confusion as thought the 500

[1:13:00] staying the same that this is

[1:13:04] not revenue of that storm

[1:13:08] water use. Your feels the top

[1:13:13] line and second line, are one

[1:13:17] and then we have broken out

[1:13:19] 500,000 for the regular

[1:13:20] regulations, regulatory

[1:13:24] compliance projects that we do

[1:13:25] what the water quality group

[1:13:28] with an engineering. So

[1:13:33] 500,000 is there. Programmed

[1:13:35] amount for that work that

[1:13:35] they're doing out of the

[1:13:39] storm. Water user fee. Does

[1:13:58] that help? I'm sorry. Yes.

[1:13:59] That is that is everything

[1:14:00] that murder just said is

[1:14:00] correct in everything you just

[1:14:04] I just want to make sure this

[1:14:05] question. So my question is

[1:14:12] these. Fees are adjusted for

[1:14:14] inflation. All of these

[1:14:17] numbers are in 20 $26. Yes.

[1:14:18] Which means if the number

[1:14:21] remains the same. In 27. 28.

[1:14:28] 29. 30. Inflation excess.

[1:14:30] We're spending is actually

[1:14:33] decreasing across time.

[1:14:34] Because the dollar buys less

[1:14:38] and 2030 that. We can, we can

[1:14:39] look back at prior year

[1:14:41] versions of the this sheet

[1:14:42] that we put together. And

[1:14:47] again, this is. I think it

[1:14:48] consistent format that we've

[1:14:49] used to Shar five-year capital

[1:14:51] plan. As far as I can

[1:14:55] remember, we've shown. This

[1:14:56] the same way. So this is not

[1:14:58] anything that there's no

[1:14:59] change to how are displaying

[1:15:00] our storm. Water user fees.

[1:15:02] What I will tell you is is

[1:15:05] that there are. A variety of

[1:15:08] revenue source is going into

[1:15:09] the storm. Water Management

[1:15:09] fund, which again gets used

[1:15:10] for a mix of operations and

[1:15:15] capital. If you if you want to

[1:15:19] look at it that way, you can.

[1:15:20] But again, this isn't that

[1:15:21] isn't anything specific to

[1:15:22] this capital plan that would

[1:15:24] you could say that about?

[1:15:26] Parsed the way we present our

[1:15:27] stormwater capital plan almost

[1:15:32] any year. So. After the

[1:15:36] flooding. That happened, folks

[1:15:38] about to see more money for

[1:15:41] stormwater possible. I think I

[1:15:42] think you're definitely right.

[1:15:44] Kind of what I'm going for. I

[1:15:47] think that, you know,

[1:15:48] obviously the last couple

[1:15:51] weeks has been. Very impactful

[1:15:55] to our residents, our public

[1:15:56] officials, our staff and, you

[1:16:00] know, our our storm, water,

[1:16:01] engineering staff, our

[1:16:03] stormwater operations team

[1:16:05] thinks about flooding events

[1:16:07] all the time, right? This is

[1:16:09] core to their job. There were

[1:16:11] car flood response getting

[1:16:12] their work on maintaining our

[1:16:14] infrastructure. And This is a

[1:16:20] year round. Perennial exercise

[1:16:27] there's a charger here. Yeah,

[1:16:29] we absolutely agree that this

[1:16:30] is a good time to focus on our

[1:16:33] storm water assets just

[1:16:35] procedural point. Obviously,

[1:16:36] this budget is introduced, you

[1:16:39] know, beginning of AUGUST and

[1:16:40] the major flooding that

[1:16:42] occurred a couple weeks ago

[1:16:43] would have occurred. Actually,

[1:16:45] we presenting our budget to

[1:16:46] our council committee while,

[1:16:48] you know, rain was still

[1:16:49] falling and we had people out

[1:16:51] removing, you know, trees from

[1:16:52] roads clearing out storm storm

[1:16:53] drains and stuff. So, you

[1:16:56] know, we our storm water

[1:16:59] program remains robust. And as

[1:17:03] I said, we to that point, we

[1:17:04] just issued 50 million dollars

[1:17:05] of new bonds to fund

[1:17:08] stormwater projects throughout

[1:17:09] the district. Continue to

[1:17:11] explore ways that things like

[1:17:13] flood control improvement

[1:17:14] districts can better support

[1:17:15] stormwater projects. And you

[1:17:18] actually see in increased

[1:17:20] commitment fc id's going into

[1:17:20] the stormwater capital plan.

[1:17:21] You see that number going from

[1:17:25] 2.2 million to 3.2 next year.

[1:17:26] That reflects increased volume

[1:17:28] of work in specific areas that

[1:17:32] have flood control improvement

[1:17:33] districts established. There

[1:17:34] are federal funding

[1:17:38] opportunities that we continue

[1:17:40] That we continue to go after

[1:17:42] and then finally not to dwell

[1:17:44] on this, but the 5 million

[1:17:45] dollars of storm water fees

[1:17:46] going to transportation.

[1:17:49] That's new. Again. That is

[1:17:54] going to. That is going to

[1:17:55] lead to real investments in

[1:17:56] our storm. Water

[1:17:59] infrastructure and well, a lot

[1:18:02] of those assets might not be,

[1:18:03] you know, geared towards this

[1:18:05] specific type of flooding

[1:18:06] event, the most common type of

[1:18:08] flooding event that we

[1:18:08] experience in the city is it

[1:18:11] just rains a lot. And the

[1:18:12] water doesn't drain

[1:18:13] appropriately off of our

[1:18:14] roadways and it's a danger for

[1:18:16] motorists damages people's

[1:18:18] property. And so our ability

[1:18:20] to go out there do these

[1:18:21] roadway improvements. And at

[1:18:22] the same time make appreciable

[1:18:23] changes that impact our storm

[1:18:25] water system is a real

[1:18:27] investment here. Regardless of

[1:18:28] whether it shows up on this

[1:18:30] page or the warning for slides

[1:18:31] after it. So but your point is

[1:18:36] well taken. I've come a couple

[1:18:37] questions on the

[1:18:40] transportation capital plan.

[1:18:42] So I see the community powered

[1:18:43] infrastructure program is more

[1:18:46] than doubling from 2026. To

[1:18:50] 27. We love to see that. We're

[1:18:54] going from 1.2 million 26 to

[1:18:55] 4.1 million and twenty-seven

[1:18:58] and I was hoping somebody.

[1:18:59] Could elaborate on just what

[1:19:02] all means. I can give I can

[1:19:05] give a number answer. I think

[1:19:06] if we've Chris, I don't know

[1:19:07] if you want to talk a little

[1:19:09] bit about the cpi program in

[1:19:10] general and some of the

[1:19:11] success we've had recently

[1:19:13] getting those projects off the

[1:19:15] ground. Some of this reflects

[1:19:18] the timing when projects are

[1:19:20] able to bid, which is

[1:19:21] obviously impacted by a bunch

[1:19:22] of different factors. And that

[1:19:24] can to year to year variance.

[1:19:29] What we have seen. He's just a

[1:19:32] really sizable demand for

[1:19:33] these projects. And there's a

[1:19:36] large pipeline of of projects

[1:19:37] that we have to I'm gonna let

[1:19:40] Chris talk a little bit about

[1:19:41] that work. Yeah, good

[1:19:44] afternoon. So community power

[1:19:47] and infrastructure is an

[1:19:48] umbrella under which

[1:19:50] Indianapolis neighborhood

[1:19:51] Infrastructure Partnership.

[1:19:53] And part in the right of way

[1:19:54] live. So this increase in

[1:19:58] capacity is do too increased

[1:20:00] demand. I guess you could say

[1:20:01] and excitement for the

[1:20:03] program. We had 17 planned

[1:20:05] projects for this year and

[1:20:06] we're trying to match an

[1:20:08] increase. Those costs are

[1:20:10] dollars and also increase our

[1:20:11] lending library that is

[1:20:12] available to folks at no

[1:20:19] charge. And then my other

[1:20:21] question is with relation to

[1:20:22] the rapid response line item.

[1:20:27] What is that? Thanks, Chris.

[1:20:30] We under again going to going

[1:20:31] to defer some of the projects

[1:20:32] Pacific's. That's one area

[1:20:34] where we had previously had

[1:20:35] one-time funding sources that

[1:20:40] we've used to fund these rapid

[1:20:41] response projects laundrie's

[1:20:43] going to go into a little bit

[1:20:44] of detail on. But one thing

[1:20:46] that we've done here is

[1:20:47] established and ongoing level

[1:20:48] of support that we can build

[1:20:49] on. So that we can have a

[1:20:51] little bit more ability to

[1:20:55] plan. Those types of projects

[1:20:56] and not have to be reliant on

[1:20:59] one time allocations from

[1:21:01] fiscal this koala cations from

[1:21:02] the council things like that.

[1:21:05] So under a one a. Yes. Thank

[1:21:08] you. Board members level

[1:21:10] Vision, 0 Administrator. So

[1:21:11] Rep response is a new program

[1:21:13] that we're launching off here

[1:21:15] and dpw such as a traffic

[1:21:16] safety program that kind

[1:21:18] support multiple programs,

[1:21:19] whether that's our cpi program

[1:21:23] was a fatal crash of you and

[1:21:25] some of our common own safety

[1:21:26] concerns throughout the

[1:21:28] community making those safety

[1:21:29] and permits. So how this

[1:21:32] started. It is last year the

[1:21:34] council approved 500,000 in

[1:21:36] the spring, fiscal for some of

[1:21:39] the projects that we

[1:21:41] implemented earlier this year.

[1:21:42] And then later on, because we

[1:21:44] share that with the council's

[1:21:46] on the needed improvement that

[1:21:48] we have for the fatal crash

[1:21:50] review team and additional

[1:21:52] 1 million dollars was

[1:21:54] allocated. It's part of the

[1:21:56] fall fiscal. So how we broke

[1:21:58] that up. Half a million

[1:22:00] dollars continue. Love those

[1:22:02] projects from the fatal crash

[1:22:04] review team. We met those out

[1:22:06] those have been designing

[1:22:07] going going and construction

[1:22:08] party later on this year or

[1:22:11] early next year. And then we

[1:22:12] set 400,000 aside for. Kind of

[1:22:14] quick Bill Repor response

[1:22:15] materials. So that the

[1:22:16] criminal Process actively

[1:22:18] happening right now. That bit

[1:22:20] process just took place. And

[1:22:22] so currently return those

[1:22:23] materials allow us to rapidly

[1:22:26] respond to some safety

[1:22:28] concerns in the community,

[1:22:30] especially those who do a

[1:22:33] tactical urbanism If you do it

[1:22:35] urban isn't project and we

[1:22:37] look at safety improvements

[1:22:39] that we see the statistic 7,

[1:22:41] how much just had impact on

[1:22:43] the community, then we can

[1:22:45] transit transition those

[1:22:46] impactful with some rapid

[1:22:47] response materials. However,

[1:22:48] rapid response also want to

[1:22:50] support our like I mentioned

[1:22:52] before fatal crash review team

[1:22:53] and other programs we have

[1:22:55] like neighbor way were we can

[1:22:56] deploy those materials

[1:22:58] internally and make sure we

[1:23:00] support those community

[1:23:02] projects and also to really

[1:23:03] respond to communities who

[1:23:05] have concerns about traffic

[1:23:06] safety in general. Thank you.

[1:23:08] Thank Thank you. Wasn't for

[1:23:10] questions. Do we have any

[1:23:12] other questions from board

[1:23:13] members? Wilson and thank you

[1:23:16] very much. Thank you for the
