Thank you very much. Our next item is

limit your comments to three minutes per

28
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:04,880
There's a timer on the screen up here

00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:08,800

33
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,880

34
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:34,639
Okay, there being none, I will close the
public comment time and move on to our

35
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,279
presentations. Item number four is the
introduction of our new public safety

36
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,440
officer.
>> Chief, is that you?

37
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:45,440
» Yes, sir.
>> Um, so, as uh is customary, wanted to

38
00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:49,839
introduce our new public safety officer
to our council and to our community.

39
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,920
Again, another uh layer of
accountability that we utilize so we

40
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000
know who we're serving and who we are
accountable to. Quinn, if you don't mind

41
00:13:55,839 --> 00:14:01,519
stepping up. Quinn Huntington, Officer
Huntington, is 23 years old. He

42
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:06,079
graduated high school from Eagle
Christian Academy and graduated college

43
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,480
from Baylor University with a bachelor's
of science and education. Um, one thing

44
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:14,880
about Officer Huntington, when he came
and initially met with me about working

45
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:19,120
here, I could tell he had a strong uh
moral compass and he uh always want to

46
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:26,639
do what's right. Doing his background
check, everybody we talked to told us

47
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:31,839
how lucky we were to attract with such
ethical and moral strength. So he's uh

48
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:37,680
completed his police academy which he
thrived in. He um completed his FTO

49
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:42,240
training as well which he thrived in.
Um, usually we wait a semester to send

50
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:46,079
somebody to the fire academy. Um, but
he's been excelling so greatly that

51
00:14:44,079 --> 00:14:52,160
we're sending him to the fire academy
starting in July. So, he is doing well.

52
00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:56,920
Um, he is one of those that we look to
to continue to train serve our

53
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,920
community.

54
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,560
I think I've done a lot to introduce
yourself.

55
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,240
» Absolutely. I I've always grown up in
Mlennon County and I've always heard of

56
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:10,639
the Woodway reputation. It's a very
prestigious one. When applying for this

57
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:14,320
job, I I was just telling my parents
every day I'd be very lucky to be here

58
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,920
because it's a great community that
supports the officers, which is rare in

59
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:23,240
today's time.
My father also served law enforcement

60
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,240
county.

61
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:51,519
» Thank you so much, Chief. Welcome.
All right. Uh, item number five is the

62
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:58,240
presentation of yard of the month for
the month of May. So, let's see here.

63
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:02,560
Do we have the Busies here? Is the Busby
family here? Wonderful. All right. Uh,

64
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:07,680
Patricia.
>> Okay. Welcome. Um, everybody, this is

65
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:13,360
Patricia Busby. Her house on Treeline
Drive. You can see the yard over here.

66
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:19,120
She's the winner of the yard of the
month. So, Miss Busby, thank you so much

67
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:23,040
for keeping Woodway beautiful. Um, I'm
going to give you a certificate, but the

68
00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:27,839
certificate says, "Thank you for your
outstanding contribution to help make

69
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:32,040
the city of Woodway beautiful." So, can
we please give it up for the Busies?

70
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:45,240
» We have a sign for you.
It's not a for sale sign.

71
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,720
Excellent.

72
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Excellent.
Congratulations.

73
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:38,280
» Thank you for keeping our streets so
beautiful and beautiful.

74
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:48,120
» And he sure doesn't get this sign.
>> All right, one more time for this.

75
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:08,280
Well, since we've done one of those, I'm
glad there's a rack. Fun.

76
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,280
» All right.

77
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:16,000
All right. Item number six is the
recognition of uh our Woodway Youth

78
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:22,000

79
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:26,080
» Yes, sir. So, um annually, we like to uh

81
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:37,120
Officer canister. Officer Kester was our
community resource officer. Uh

82
00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:42,720
transitioning to patrol and corporal web
has been given the opportunity to be our

83
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:46,799
new community resource officer. So if
you don't mind

84
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:50,880
» Yeah, absolutely. So uh over here in the
corner tucked away are our youth

85
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:55,280
commission members who absolutely do an
awesome job at helping us and the city

86
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,880
of Woodway, you know, create these
really cool community events. uh they're

87
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,640
kind of the backbone a lot of the time
picking up trash, showing people where

88
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,160
the bathrooms are, uh face paint,
tattoos, stickers, fun stuff like that.

89
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:09,600
And these kids, they're all in high
school or middle school, and they

90
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:13,520
actually take time out of their day, uh
their, you know, their busy youthful

91
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:17,520
days to come up here and do meetings
regularly and then go to these events to

92
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,120
get community hours to help for their
college resumes, things like that. So, I

93
00:19:19,679 --> 00:19:24,320
personally think it's an awesome awesome
thing that they do and they definitely

94
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:28,000
deserve recognition. So, we can get a
little quick round OF APPLAUSE FOR

122
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:05,760

00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:13,919
so we were required to have a a sign and
easement agreement with MISD. We had an

156
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:19,919
agreement in writing over email but the
the stipulations of the grant paperwork

157
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:25,840
dictated uh a different form to appease
them. So we have satisfied that request.

158
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:30,880
Uh that is at the school board meeting
tomorrow. Their meeting is tomorrow and

159
00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:36,960
this is on the consent agenda for them.
So after that it can go out to bid and

160
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:40,640
we're okay to open bid still by June
11th and we hope to have everything

161
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:45,600
completed on estates before school
begins

162
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:50,240
and as part of of the keep Texas
beautiful program again carried out by

163
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:53,440
our city secretary text has now
completed their portion of the work by

164
00:26:51,919 --> 00:26:59,200
clearing the overgrowth and the
landscaping forms underneath the highway

165
00:26:56,159 --> 00:27:04,559
84 bridge. This completes a years long
yearsong project to have lamps installed

166
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:08,480
under the bridge and and now the second
piece was to clear out any unsightly

167
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:12,799
rebar.
Our Tater Hill water tank has been that

168
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:17,360
was recently refurbished has passed its
final bacteria test and is back in

169
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:21,039
service bringing all wells and ground
storage tanks back online and

170
00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:25,840
operational.
And the bid for the micro seal

171
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:31,360
was done week before or the opening,
excuse me, was week before last. And the

172
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:36,799
bid was awarded to Viking, uh, which
came in a little over budget, but

173
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:41,039
Mr. Davidson's working negotiating the
final scope of the work for that

174
00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:47,120
project.
Degera laid 55 ft of line last week and

175
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:52,159
the bypass pump will be relocated after
Memorial Day weekend and that will

176
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:56,640
hopefully also take out the heavy
equipment and the blockage we've had

177
00:27:53,919 --> 00:28:02,960
over on the frontage road of 84 which
what feels like forever but that we pray

178
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,799
is coming to coming to an end.
>> 55 down.

179

» Yes sir.
>> Of the 800.

Jennifer that it'll it will be

182
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:21,600
functional and and open Friday. So if
anybody wants to sneak in early,

183
