[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
[17:58] ms analysis. We'd like to do

[28:34] Motion carries. All right.
[28:36] Next item on our agenda is a

[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
[1:23:18] presentation. Very
[1:23:19] informative. We don't have any
[1:23:20] other business to come before
[1:23:22] the board that time. A motion
[1:23:25] to adjourn. Please. So moved
[1:23:29] by Jesus revenue of a second
[1:23:32] seconded by subjected to want

[1:23:45] adjourned.
