1
00:00:06,870 --> 00:00:26,090
Yes, sir. Mayor Alvaro Ariola, Mayor Pro Tem Stephen T. Webb, Councilman James Jaruz, Councilman J. P. Sanchez, Councilwoman Alexandra Falcón-Caldorón, Councilwoman Ernestina Martinez, Councilman Jesus Lopez, Jr., Mayor, you do have a quorum.

2
00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:43,330
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for

3
00:00:43,330 --> 00:00:49,390
which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

4
00:00:50,290 --> 00:00:57,470
On honor of the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state, under God, one

5
00:00:58,550 --> 00:00:59,110
Good

6
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:02,890
afternoon.

7
00:01:03,410 --> 00:01:05,370
I would like you to sit down, please.

8
00:01:06,210 --> 00:01:06,690
Sit down.

9
00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:07,510
Yes, please.

10
00:01:08,490 --> 00:01:10,270
My name is Manuel Figuera.

11
00:01:10,350 --> 00:01:12,190
My name is Manuel Figuera.

12
00:01:12,290 --> 00:01:13,990
I'm a pastor of the Oasis Church.

13
00:01:14,650 --> 00:01:17,950
And it's a pleasure to be here with you guys.

14
00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:20,470
And thank you for inviting us to pray.

15
00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:24,170
I believe we believe more than the prayer this year

16
00:01:24,170 --> 00:01:28,350
because we all see what happened in the 3rd of January

17
00:01:28,350 --> 00:01:35,150
area this year with the young man when we are praying for him, you know, that we need

18
00:01:35,150 --> 00:01:40,730
a miracle and we see the miracle. He's alive. So let us pray right now.

19
00:01:41,850 --> 00:01:51,170
Un consejo que les quiero dar, David lideró de tres maneras. David lideró matando un gigante

20
00:01:51,170 --> 00:01:56,230
con una piedra y fue una de sus grandes victorias.

21
00:01:56,870 --> 00:02:03,770
La segunda manera de David liderar fue con su espada, aprendí a pelear, pero la tercera

22
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:09,730
manera es la que yo creo que Dios les ha dado a ustedes es liderar con el cerebro, con la

23
00:02:09,730 --> 00:02:12,510
mente, con las decisiones y con la experiencia.

24
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:18,890
Son mi oraciones para que Dios nos guie y tomemos las mejores decisiones en este lugar

25
00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:21,850
que serán para el beneficio de nuestra ciudad.

26
00:02:22,870 --> 00:02:26,670
Can you stand up and let us pray?

27
00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:30,770
Heavenly Father, we ask you to be here with us.

28
00:02:31,930 --> 00:02:33,570
We ask for your presence.

29
00:02:34,210 --> 00:02:35,310
We ask for your guidance.

30
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:40,390
And we give you thanks, Father, for everything you're going to do here.

31
00:02:41,130 --> 00:02:43,330
And the name of Jesus, we pray, Father.

32
00:02:44,290 --> 00:02:44,510
Amen.

33
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,040
Thank you, Pastor.

34
00:02:52,670 --> 00:02:54,910
This time we'll go out with item number five.

35
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:57,950
Item number five is Citizens Comments on Agenda.

36
00:02:58,190 --> 00:03:00,710
Citizens Comments will be heard as posted on the agenda.

37
00:03:00,950 --> 00:03:03,550
Citizens Comments, providing items not posted on the agenda,

38
00:03:04,010 --> 00:03:07,830
shall be heard at the end of the agenda items prior to entering executive session.

39
00:03:08,310 --> 00:03:09,950
Please limit remarks to three minutes.

40
00:03:10,210 --> 00:03:14,190
Topics of operational concerns shall be directed to the city manager.

41
00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:17,410
Comments should not personally attack other speakers.

42
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:21,280
We have four of them signed up.

43
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,760
I believe those are all for the public hearing, which is coming up next.

44
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,580
Well, I got one since airline and concerns.

45
00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:30,980
Do

46
00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:33,740
you want to?

47
00:03:35,420 --> 00:03:43,360
We can go on. So once we get to the agenda item, if that particular person is here to speak, she or he will speak to the item.

48
00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:47,040
And you're concerned with the item on

49
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,620
conductor hearing for the request on the zoning, or do you have something else, Ms.

50
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:52,860
Aguilar?

51
00:03:57,510 --> 00:03:58,070
It's on that?

52
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:58,850
No.

53
00:03:59,130 --> 00:03:59,330
No?

54
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,460
Do you want to go ahead and step up to the mic, ma'am?

55
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,700
We'll take care of that under Item 14.

56
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,320
You want to come back on Item 14?

57
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,240
Item 14 would be Citizens' Conference.

58
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,420
And the same thing with Carlos Cardenas, right?

59
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,340
Okay.

60
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:18,740
All right.

61
00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:22,220
Go ahead and go with item 6.

62
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,140
Just the public hearing.

63
00:04:27,450 --> 00:04:30,530
Conduct the public hearing considering request 2302.

64
00:04:30,650 --> 00:04:31,670
Is that the one we're looking at?

65
00:04:31,870 --> 00:04:32,230
Yes, sir.

66
00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:35,950
So if you'd like to open the public hearing and then I'll read the item.

67
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:43,930
It is a zoning change for Javier Curry.

68
00:04:44,330 --> 00:04:47,430
A lot eight, block 11, Ranch 3, South Texas.

69
00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:50,470
The request changed for the commercial first,

70
00:04:50,470 --> 00:04:59,890
high district, C2A, commercial second height, and it's 635 and we're going to go ahead and

71
00:04:59,890 --> 00:05:04,370
open this public hearing. Do we have the first speaker?

72
00:05:05,010 --> 00:05:05,430
Yes, sir.

73
00:05:06,030 --> 00:05:06,510
Your name?

74
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:13,770
Maria Martinez. I'm the owner of the Learning Express right next to the Cantina. If I

75
00:05:13,770 --> 00:05:16,030
May I pass these out for just pictures?

76
00:05:16,450 --> 00:05:16,690
Yeah.

77
00:05:49,940 --> 00:05:53,560
I'm here in opposition of the cantona

78
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,980
opening next to our daycare.

79
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:01,820
And just want to briefly explain some of the reasons why.

80
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,380
First of all, if you can see,

81
00:06:08,910 --> 00:06:11,990
by opening if we allow this cantona to open

82
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:13,030
next to our daycare,

83
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:14,970
we've been there for almost 30 years now.

84
00:06:15,530 --> 00:06:16,850
A little bit more than 30 years

85
00:06:16,850 --> 00:06:23,370
And we've ranged from 40 to 80 kids at times.

86
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,290
We have 40 something families that we provide a service to.

87
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:34,910
And if you can see on the pictures, the Cantina has been working at that building for a while now.

88
00:06:35,930 --> 00:06:39,170
They have set fires where they burn stuff.

89
00:06:39,710 --> 00:06:40,970
You have one of the pictures there.

90
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,700
They've been working, as far as I know, from a member of the city.

91
00:06:49,220 --> 00:06:55,800
He has not required gotten permits for any of the jobs that he's done, that he's been doing now.

92
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:59,000
He's built a fence without any permits.

93
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:01,520
He's put up the sign without any permits.

94
00:07:02,620 --> 00:07:08,300
And just to briefly explain a little bit about what my parents are concerned about is that

95
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:13,860
But if this container does open next to the daycare and opens during work hours,

96
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,400
there's going to be drunk people there.

97
00:07:16,860 --> 00:07:21,640
They can throw bottles, cans, drugs, syringes.

98
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:24,280
Who knows what can happen?

99
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,580
Drunk driving, going through the fence.

100
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,760
The only thing that divides us is a four-link fence.

101
00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:34,980
That's the only thing that divides us.

102
00:07:34,980 --> 00:07:40,320
There's no, not one foot, there's just the fence that's there.

103
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:52,540
And we did, just let me briefly read this because I'm not too good at talking without reading.

104
00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:01,140
Our center houses more than 40 families to 76 children ranging from four to 13 years old.

105
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:03,260
We're more than a daycare center.

106
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,600
We are the second home to these children.

107
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,900
At the Learning Express Center, everyone is treated as a family.

108
00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:13,980
Our parents drop off their children every morning, going out to make a living.

109
00:08:14,380 --> 00:08:20,460
They leave them with a kiss and a see you later and go on to work with no worries, knowing they are in good hands.

110
00:08:20,820 --> 00:08:25,080
With a place selling liquor next door, no parents feel safe dropping off their children.

111
00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:34,140
Knowing that men and women intoxicated may come near our playground due to both buildings being only less than a chain link fence from each other.

112
00:08:34,140 --> 00:08:38,180
with simply a tiny four foot fence dividing the property.

113
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,300
Easily anyone leaving his premises may throw bottles, drugs,

114
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,480
expose themselves to our children.

115
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,120
We will be risking sex offenders, violent customers,

116
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,660
fights breaking out around our children.

117
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,500
And let's not forget him not having the parking.

118
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,820
Mayor, the three minutes has expired.

119
00:09:00,460 --> 00:09:02,080
The three minutes are over?

120
00:09:02,140 --> 00:09:02,400
Yes, sir.

121
00:09:02,860 --> 00:09:03,780
Okay, thank you.

122
00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:04,400
Thank you.

123
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,280
Thank you for your time.

124
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,220
Next person, Aaron Rodriguez.

125
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,300
Mr. Mayor, may I approach the next floor quick?

126
00:09:17,420 --> 00:09:17,620
Sure.

127
00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:20,860
Unfortunately, I didn't come very prepared

128
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:22,920
to give everybody a copy, but I would

129
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,180
like to present one to the city attorney

130
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:27,920
and to our city secretary, Mr. Borsla.

131
00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:29,720
So they're going to be put into the record.

132
00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:35,710
My name's Aaron Rodriguez, and although I'm not

133
00:09:35,710 --> 00:09:40,730
an immediate neighbor of the learning express,

134
00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:47,110
I am a parent of a student of a child of the Learning Express.

135
00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:58,750
And what I presented to the city attorney and the city secretary today is references to alcohol beverage code chapter 11.

136
00:09:59,530 --> 00:10:07,530
And if I may present that this part of the law states that a general denial can be held and I refer to you to the sections that I highlighted in here.

137
00:10:08,990 --> 00:10:14,990
Under 11.46 Section 8, the place or manner in which the applicant may conduct the applicant's business

138
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:21,090
warrants a denial of the application for a permit based on the general welfare, health, peace,

139
00:10:21,830 --> 00:10:27,890
morals and safety of the people and on the public sense of decency. As you know this is right

140
00:10:27,890 --> 00:10:29,750
next to a daycare.

141
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:35,510
Section 12, the applicant does not provide an adequate building available

142
00:10:35,510 --> 00:10:39,230
board that address for which the permit is sought before conducting any activity

143
00:10:39,230 --> 00:10:47,870
authorized by his permit. As you all may have seen or driven by this home, it is

144
00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:50,690
not an adequate place to have what they want to conduct.

145
00:10:53,660 --> 00:10:54,840
If we move on to a

146
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:01,620
section 11.431, and this actually applies to larger municipalities, over

147
00:11:01,620 --> 00:11:06,800
one million, but I feel like this applies to our city as well, to our

148
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:12,880
community. Any point to the property line of the premise is less than 300 feet from the

149
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:20,580
nearest point on a property line of a residence, church, school, hospital, daycare facility

150
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:27,940
or social service facility as measured in a straight line. If I may counsel, this is

151
00:11:27,940 --> 00:11:34,600
right next to a daycare center. The only division is a chain link fence.

152
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:37,440
I ask if

153
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,900
If you had children there or grandchildren, would you feel that this is acceptable?

154
00:11:44,690 --> 00:11:45,450
Thank you for your time.

155
00:11:47,310 --> 00:11:48,310
Thank you, Mr. Leis.

156
00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:53,470
I think those are the only two that signed up.

157
00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:59,550
We'll go ahead and close at 642,

158
00:11:59,910 --> 00:12:03,330
and we'll go ahead and close this public hearing.

159
00:12:04,370 --> 00:12:05,970
And we'll proceed with item,

160
00:12:09,390 --> 00:12:09,930
is it I?

161
00:12:10,170 --> 00:12:11,210
Item 6-1.

162
00:12:11,210 --> 00:12:20,570
I'm sorry, 681, ordinance 2023-005 in ordinance in accordance with the Del Rio City Charter

163
00:12:20,570 --> 00:12:27,690
and State Law providing for the rezoning of 1009 South Main, Law 8, Block 11, Range 3,

164
00:12:28,130 --> 00:12:33,810
South Del Rio from Commercial First Heights District C-2-8 to Commercial Second Heights

165
00:12:33,810 --> 00:12:38,130
District C-2-V within the city of Del Rio, Texas.

166
00:12:39,130 --> 00:12:42,010
Do I have a motion on the console, on the dais?

167
00:12:51,850 --> 00:12:54,250
Mr. Mayor, I actually have two questions.

168
00:12:54,450 --> 00:12:56,590
Not sure if Ms. Poe-Crant would be the appropriate person.

169
00:12:57,830 --> 00:13:01,010
But, one, this has come before us before.

170
00:13:01,610 --> 00:13:04,130
It should be a simple yes or no.

171
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:08,550
Has anything changed from the previous time when we disapproved this?

172
00:13:09,710 --> 00:13:11,790
Yes. Good evening, Janice Poe-Crant, City Planner.

173
00:13:12,090 --> 00:13:14,970
There is nothing that we're presenting to you today that has changed.

174
00:13:14,970 --> 00:13:24,710
Okay. Thank you. And then the second question related to the work that has been done, have any permit requests been pulled for the work that has been done?

175
00:13:25,470 --> 00:13:27,050
And I'm not sure who would.

176
00:13:27,410 --> 00:13:32,450
Well, I have Mr. Kinsey here if you have any other questions, but no, there's not any permits that have been pulled for the work.

177
00:13:32,610 --> 00:13:33,470
Okay. Thank you.

178
00:13:36,670 --> 00:13:44,410
Well, not having a motion, I think this dies. So we'll go ahead and move forward with item 7.

179
00:13:45,790 --> 00:13:56,070
So item 7a is regarding travel, so I'm going to read each item, and then one motion will take care of all these items.

180
00:13:56,610 --> 00:14:02,250
So 7a is authorized and approved, Councilman James Theroux to attend the Texas Municipal League

181
00:14:02,250 --> 00:14:07,990
mid-year conference March 2nd through the 3rd of 2023 in San Antonio, Texas.

182
00:14:07,990 --> 00:14:15,210
Texas. Item 7B is Authorized and Approved Councilman Stephen T. Webb and Jesus Lopez, Jr., to attend

183
00:14:15,210 --> 00:14:19,470
the legislative wrap-up work session June 14th through the 15th in Georgetown, Texas.

184
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:25,710
Item 7C, Authorized and Approved Councilperson Irnestina Martinez to attend the Texas Municipal

185
00:14:25,710 --> 00:14:30,730
League Meteor Conference March 2nd through the 3rd, 2023 in San Antonio, Texas.

186
00:14:31,810 --> 00:14:36,850
Item 7D, Authorized and Approved Councilperson Stephen T. Webb and Councilperson Jesus

187
00:14:36,850 --> 00:14:43,670
to attend the Texas Municipal League Mid-Year Conference March 2nd through the 3rd 2023 in San Antonio, Texas.

188
00:14:44,030 --> 00:14:53,790
Item 7E, authorize and approve Mayor Al Ariola to attend the Texas Municipal League Mid-Year Conference March 2nd through the 3rd 2023 in San Antonio, Texas.

189
00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:57,710
Do I have a motion and a dice to approve all travel for council?

190
00:14:58,030 --> 00:14:58,710
I'll make a motion.

191
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:09,080
I have a second. Second. Second for Mr. Sunch. Councilman Sunches. Any questions? Concerns? All in favor?

192
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,120
Aye.

193
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,340
Go to item E.

194
00:15:14,820 --> 00:15:16,320
Can I make the item as item F?

195
00:15:21,130 --> 00:15:21,490
Go ahead.

196
00:15:21,690 --> 00:15:31,470
Okay. So item 7F is discussed in possible action on city council office at the transportation building. Councilman Jesus Lopez.

197
00:15:33,510 --> 00:15:41,610
Well, yes. I brought this item up for the simple reason that I've experienced this firsthand

198
00:15:43,150 --> 00:15:49,850
with McCud, with my sister-in-law and my nephew. When I see a transportation building that

199
00:15:49,850 --> 00:15:58,370
the city made for transportation, that means trains, buses, taxis, whatever kind of means

200
00:15:58,370 --> 00:16:02,710
transportation we have for our constituents. When I saw that there's

201
00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:09,350
no no waiting waiting room no more for any of those services especially the

202
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:16,850
train the train that still goes through Del Rio and I was there I mean it was

203
00:16:16,850 --> 00:16:22,890
weather it was windy raining the train came people getting wet getting their

204
00:16:22,890 --> 00:16:27,390
feet wet nowhere to protect them nowhere to wait from the car run

205
00:16:27,390 --> 00:16:30,670
straight to the conductors, wherever they're loading and unloading.

206
00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:33,450
So I saw where they're loading and unloading.

207
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:40,650
And as I came aware, being counsel and being aware of the areas, well, I noticed that there

208
00:16:40,650 --> 00:16:44,770
was a constituent office there at the Transportation Office.

209
00:16:45,630 --> 00:16:52,210
And that office is right there in the double doors where they depart and arrive.

210
00:16:53,250 --> 00:17:01,470
So I saw no issues or concerns, possibly maybe, to give those passengers an area of waiting,

211
00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:05,030
you know, by the train arrives and departs.

212
00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:08,450
And it's a convenience to the citizens.

213
00:17:08,970 --> 00:17:11,010
It's a convenience to those that come to Doreal on a train.

214
00:17:11,630 --> 00:17:16,930
I'm pretty sure people like to take trains instead of buses or planes, or travel in vehicles.

215
00:17:17,530 --> 00:17:19,310
But I experienced firsthand.

216
00:17:19,310 --> 00:17:23,170
And I'm not saying open that area 24 hours.

217
00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:28,630
I'm just saying open it only at the time of arrival and departure with the trains.

218
00:17:29,070 --> 00:17:34,790
And have somebody there to open and close that area or that part of the building

219
00:17:34,790 --> 00:17:36,990
only for the train at that particular time.

220
00:17:37,850 --> 00:17:40,970
We can still have it as a constituent office during the day.

221
00:17:41,690 --> 00:17:45,610
The train only comes, I think, twice a week, but it comes in mid mornings.

222
00:17:46,350 --> 00:17:47,430
It's not during the day.

223
00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:53,450
is very rare. So I think if we had an area where we can work from the train

224
00:17:54,030 --> 00:18:00,610
passengers to wait and arrive because even if the train is delayed when I went

225
00:18:00,610 --> 00:18:05,030
back that day they were still there the train was delayed almost five hours and

226
00:18:05,030 --> 00:18:08,610
when I went back to check on them there was a girl sitting outside in the

227
00:18:08,610 --> 00:18:13,330
fence sitting in the suitcase and she's been sitting there since mid

228
00:18:13,330 --> 00:18:19,410
morning, waiting for the train, nowhere to go. So when I went and opened up that particular

229
00:18:19,410 --> 00:18:26,890
part of the office to check on my cousin, my sister-in-law, right away there were some other

230
00:18:26,890 --> 00:18:31,290
people, sir do you have a restroom? People were just waiting there but they had nowhere

231
00:18:31,290 --> 00:18:35,030
to go to restrooms. And I'm pretty sure they didn't want to leave and then come

232
00:18:35,030 --> 00:18:37,750
back and find out that the train's already gone because they went to the restroom

233
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:42,590
somewhere else. So I saw no inconvenience in just opening it up at the time and

234
00:18:42,590 --> 00:18:51,630
departures of the train and maybe assist or give authorization maybe to the city manager

235
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:57,970
to ask Amtrak to see if they're willing to pay for a person just to open that area for

236
00:18:58,510 --> 00:19:03,030
one hour or whatever it takes for the train to arrive and depart, only on those particular

237
00:19:03,030 --> 00:19:03,710
days and hours.

238
00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:08,310
And that was my little concern because I experienced it first.

239
00:19:09,390 --> 00:19:14,630
And I think if we protect them while they're waiting on their train, give them services

240
00:19:14,630 --> 00:19:19,470
for them to do the restroom because they're drinking water or the train's delayed and nobody

241
00:19:19,470 --> 00:19:20,210
wants to leave.

242
00:19:20,830 --> 00:19:25,430
Because I'm pretty sure it's very inconvenient to just wait in the car for hours or just

243
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:27,610
wait in there and see if hopefully the train will come or not.

244
00:19:28,690 --> 00:19:31,910
You know unless they can leave them there and then they can go home and go to bed

245
00:19:32,790 --> 00:19:34,650
and be in contact with them by phone.

246
00:19:35,390 --> 00:19:40,930
trains here, trains gone or whatever. But that's all because I feel that they're

247
00:19:40,930 --> 00:19:44,850
working on the train right now, they're working right now on the

248
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:48,930
transportation of the train for Amtrak. They're building a sidewalk where

249
00:19:48,930 --> 00:19:53,550
they're improving the area for Amtrak. And I think we can help them out a

250
00:19:53,550 --> 00:19:56,490
little bit in improving ourselves and give them a little service of

251
00:19:56,490 --> 00:20:00,930
protection and awaiting area. And if they're doing that maybe we can

252
00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:05,170
convenience of them in a little bit and having something for them to weigh in.

253
00:20:07,070 --> 00:20:08,670
That's all I wanted to see.

254
00:20:09,570 --> 00:20:17,270
Do you want to give, I guess, the directives to John to look into the process and everything?

255
00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:22,850
Well, the other thing that comes to my concern is I know that some council members use it

256
00:20:22,850 --> 00:20:25,350
and I know there's some electrical equipment in there,

257
00:20:26,010 --> 00:20:30,990
But I don't see why to talk to a citizen, you would have to take them there.

258
00:20:32,150 --> 00:20:34,670
When we don't need a printer, we don't need computers.

259
00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:38,710
You got a laptop, you got whatever you want to talk to them about.

260
00:20:39,370 --> 00:20:43,990
But the thing is, I'm not concerned about the electronics in there.

261
00:20:44,050 --> 00:20:47,910
There's a person responsible waiting there for them to come in and go out

262
00:20:47,910 --> 00:20:49,410
and we're going to lock it in and open it.

263
00:20:49,870 --> 00:20:51,870
So nobody's going to mess around with anything.

264
00:20:52,530 --> 00:20:54,950
You mean the console they use it?

265
00:20:54,950 --> 00:20:57,530
The council uses it for whatever reasons.

266
00:20:58,430 --> 00:21:02,130
My thing is, if you want to talk to a constituent to me,

267
00:21:02,650 --> 00:21:04,330
I would say, OK, where do you want to meet?

268
00:21:04,710 --> 00:21:05,330
Your house?

269
00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:08,350
River City, somewhere, you know?

270
00:21:09,330 --> 00:21:12,590
But because when I ran and asked for their vote,

271
00:21:13,390 --> 00:21:15,590
I didn't tell them there's a constituent office come see me.

272
00:21:16,130 --> 00:21:19,090
I went to their house at their time, their convenience.

273
00:21:19,090 --> 00:21:26,150
you know, but it's a convenience, but to some people it's an inconvenience that

274
00:21:26,150 --> 00:21:30,910
there's no place to be protected out of the weather and using restroom at least.

275
00:21:32,010 --> 00:21:35,870
I think Councilman Webb wants to interject some things here, sir.

276
00:21:36,430 --> 00:21:41,210
First off, that is not a transportation building. That is a city building.

277
00:21:42,590 --> 00:21:47,470
The bus station and everybody pulled out of that building years ago.

278
00:21:47,470 --> 00:21:54,950
I don't know why the city took it over right now it has media on one end we

279
00:21:54,950 --> 00:21:59,870
have local transportation on the other end we're fixing to open the incubator

280
00:21:59,870 --> 00:22:07,730
and we have council's office I have found over the time that we finally got

281
00:22:07,730 --> 00:22:13,010
the office available to us I have met with many constituents in that office

282
00:22:13,010 --> 00:22:18,290
office to discuss things. They call me, ask to meet. I tell them I have the office. They

283
00:22:18,290 --> 00:22:23,150
said, great. They meet me there because I like the privacy. They like someplace they can

284
00:22:23,150 --> 00:22:27,810
go that they feel safe to talk and discuss what they want to talk about. The other

285
00:22:27,810 --> 00:22:31,590
thing is that building is not secure all the way through.

286
00:22:33,630 --> 00:22:35,810
The end has media. They

287
00:22:35,810 --> 00:22:42,250
lock there in but the rest of the building from the new incubator office

288
00:22:42,250 --> 00:22:50,820
all the way through the doors don't lock so by opening that building even for a

289
00:22:50,820 --> 00:22:54,200
short time you've got to have people wandering around and we'll have

290
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,420
availability from the local transportation in all the way through

291
00:22:58,420 --> 00:23:04,500
the incubator and there'll be no telling what goes in there because if it's

292
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:08,920
open. We have transients. We have people that sleep around the train station at

293
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:15,800
night. It's not our responsibility to provide for the railroad. The railroad

294
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,600
needs to be approached to put up lights or awnings or whatever it is for the

295
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,640
people that ride the train. It's not the cities.

296
00:23:26,110 --> 00:23:28,530
So I use the office. Ms.

297
00:23:28,810 --> 00:23:33,630
Calderona's use the office. Raul Ojeda, when he was on board, he used the

298
00:23:33,630 --> 00:23:41,050
office. Some people said they didn't even know we had one, which I'd be more than willing

299
00:23:41,050 --> 00:23:46,310
to show it to you. Get your key for whatever if we decide to keep it. But we can't open

300
00:23:46,310 --> 00:23:50,010
that building to the public. Who's going to pay the overtime for the guy to come down

301
00:23:50,010 --> 00:23:54,810
and open up the building? And if the train's five hours late, that's five hours of overtime.

302
00:23:55,050 --> 00:24:00,390
You pay somebody to come in there and open a building, and he can't watch anybody

303
00:24:00,390 --> 00:24:04,290
everybody, what direction they're going to go in. It's not safe. It's not warranted.

304
00:24:05,190 --> 00:24:09,390
It's been going on for years the way it's been going on and it's worked, like I say,

305
00:24:10,050 --> 00:24:14,070
the railroad is who has to be convinced to do something for the people. They took over

306
00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:18,670
the property outside and started construction. I don't know what the construction is. I

307
00:24:18,670 --> 00:24:23,910
don't think they're just building a sidewalk. The platform looks too big. Are they building

308
00:24:23,910 --> 00:24:30,550
building and overhang? Are they putting benches? I don't know. But the railroad has taken over

309
00:24:30,550 --> 00:24:33,430
part of it. It's their responsibility. It's not ours.

310
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,000
And the answer?

311
00:24:38,580 --> 00:24:38,800
No.

312
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,300
Anybody else?

313
00:24:41,660 --> 00:24:45,720
I'm not talking about the whole building. There's only the constituents, the hallway

314
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,680
and the bathroom. And those doors can be added. You can add a lock to it. There's

315
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,280
no such thing as inconvenience. I mean, I'm secure.

316
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:55,500
Are you going to pay $500 per lock?

317
00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:56,860
Are you sure they're $500?

318
00:24:56,980 --> 00:24:59,060
I'm not going to approve $500 per lot.

319
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:00,720
Right now it is secure.

320
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,980
Right now, we don't have to worry about opening it up

321
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:06,460
at night and allowing anyone in that building.

322
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:10,860
We know it's secure when we leave at 5 o'clock or 6 or whatever.

323
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:12,620
I've been down there at 9 o'clock.

324
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,700
I know it's secure when I walk out the door.

325
00:25:17,580 --> 00:25:18,380
Well, I'm not your friend.

326
00:25:19,220 --> 00:25:20,440
Just say restrooms.

327
00:25:20,780 --> 00:25:24,000
The restrooms, one side is for employees,

328
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,060
employees, and the other side used to be for when they used to have a bus station there,

329
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,920
that's what it was for. But that's not what it's for today, it's for the other employees.

330
00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:38,370
It's not open to the public.

331
00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:43,620
And like I say, if that building can't be secured at $500

332
00:25:43,620 --> 00:25:52,100
a lock, and I know of four doors right now that would require locks right there in

333
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:57,660
that hallway to be secured and we're going to have computers and everything else in the

334
00:25:57,660 --> 00:26:01,980
Incubation Office. Oh, I need to go to the bathroom. You go in there, you can open the

335
00:26:01,980 --> 00:26:03,820
door and go right into that incubator.

336
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,300
Now, that's not, that's not good business.

337
00:26:10,620 --> 00:26:18,600
I just want to add we haven't mentioned liability here. Yeah. That is also have to consider

338
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,660
that liability, because it will fall under the city. Now in the

339
00:26:23,660 --> 00:26:29,040
rubble, that's a thought tool to y'all's decision.

340
00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:36,620
So liability, you're talking about liability. There's no, to me, there's

341
00:26:36,620 --> 00:26:40,620
no liability in putting people in a safe area while waiting inside.

342
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,640
And I'm not talking about the whole building. I'm talking about three areas,

343
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,620
and it's very, so we ought to change that transportation.

344
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,320
Liability can fall under too many things, too many things.

345
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,820
We don't know, but we have to have that in mind.

346
00:26:55,460 --> 00:26:56,240
We always do.

347
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,300
Everybody does.

348
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,000
The library goes with anything we make and build.

349
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,500
Everything goes with liability.

350
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,340
That's all for me.

351
00:27:05,020 --> 00:27:05,400
Thank you.

352
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,880
Councilman Lopez, I guess I'm trying to listen,

353
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,480
but I think it would be wise for John to,

354
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,660
like Councilman Webb mentioned,

355
00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:21,940
and their platforms that they're building are pretty wide.

356
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,720
There could be some structures that they're going to put

357
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,280
together for the purposes that you're saying.

358
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,020
It's something that John can investigate and find out for us

359
00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:32,160
and bring it back to us.

360
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,740
And there's pros and cons on this because obviously there's

361
00:27:39,740 --> 00:27:42,500
only Amtrak that right now goes through Del Rio.

362
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:44,660
We don't have a bus depot.

363
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:45,820
We don't have anything else.

364
00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:49,080
but that's for the future to see where we're going.

365
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,640
I think right now would be, like I said,

366
00:27:51,860 --> 00:27:54,740
I'll go back and re-estate, have John investigate

367
00:27:54,740 --> 00:27:57,820
what Amtrak is doing, and then he can bring it back

368
00:27:57,820 --> 00:28:01,160
to us and inform us, and if there's anything else.

369
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,940
I understand that that is a historical marker also,

370
00:28:06,060 --> 00:28:07,760
and we have to be very careful

371
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,720
of what we put around the building itself.

372
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:17,260
right so there's there's something to look at and I think we'll just proceed on

373
00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:21,320
keeping the information or the communication going with Amtrak and

374
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:30,100
yes sir I have a question for Mr. Sheedy it's okay Mr. Sheedy how many times does

375
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:37,300
Amtrak actually stop in the real is it once a day once a week twice a week do

376
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:43,040
we have a schedule? Do we know? Yes sir we do know at least the last I think it's

377
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,080
the sunset route I'd ask for some information I believe it's a it's

378
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:52,580
scheduled for three times a week. Three times a week. Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.

379
00:28:54,200 --> 00:29:01,380
And the arrival time shows to be 1.02 a.m. in Del Rio that's that's the

380
00:29:01,380 --> 00:29:02,620
scheduled arrival time.

381
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:06,100
I don't know.

382
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,060
Councilman Lofton, you said there was some in the mid-morning?

383
00:29:09,380 --> 00:29:11,840
Yeah, sometimes departure at 4.30 in the morning.

384
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,560
Arrivals at a certain time and departures

385
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:15,500
another with another train.

386
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,940
They arrive here at 2 and they leave at 4.

387
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,080
I think so.

388
00:29:20,660 --> 00:29:20,780
Yeah.

389
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,060
Yes, sir.

390
00:29:23,140 --> 00:29:29,640
Mr. Sheedy, how many citizens utilize this Amtrak?

391
00:29:30,220 --> 00:29:34,020
that's one thing councilman we it's hard for us we tried to work with Amtrak to

392
00:29:34,020 --> 00:29:37,340
see if we could kind of get ticket counts or something we really don't have a

393
00:29:37,340 --> 00:29:41,220
good number on I'd like I'd like to know that number because if I'm gonna

394
00:29:42,180 --> 00:29:47,340
approve investing in somebody like that I wanted I wanted to go for the

395
00:29:47,340 --> 00:29:51,940
betterment of more citizen and not just a small group of people I've been

396
00:29:51,940 --> 00:29:56,020
here for over 60 years and I've never used Amtrak that's not putting

397
00:29:56,020 --> 00:29:57,320
than anybody else down, you know.

398
00:30:00,020 --> 00:30:05,920
You've got to get someplace and you've got to get someplace right now, you'll take a vehicle or a plane or something like that.

399
00:30:06,140 --> 00:30:10,600
But when these are for Mr. Sheehy, please.

400
00:30:11,860 --> 00:30:18,160
When you get back with the other information, if you could include something like that, I would appreciate it very much.

401
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,420
It would help me make my decision.

402
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:25,580
Okay, we tried. We made an effort to get that information abstract, but we'll have a little more time. Councilman, we'll get that for you.

403
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,520
Thank you, Mr. Sheehy.

404
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,280
Councilwoman Martinez.

405
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:43,820
Yes, I think that you should contact Amtrak also, find out, maybe they can provide some kind of services because they're the ones that are doing the traveling and benefit from that.

406
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,360
And I do know of some people that travel almost every year on Amtrak.

407
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:57,400
And of course, like you mentioned, sometimes they're not on time, but we do need to provide something for the citizens.

408
00:30:57,860 --> 00:31:09,900
But at the same time, talk to them, maybe you can come to some kind of an agreement where they can provide some kind of shelter or something while they're waiting for the train to come in.

409
00:31:10,740 --> 00:31:13,180
So I think that would be the best thing to do.

410
00:31:13,180 --> 00:31:17,900
talk to them and find out what their views are on that and what they can do.

411
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,760
Maybe they're willing to do something. I don't know.

412
00:31:20,980 --> 00:31:22,800
No, absolutely, ma'am. That's great. I think we'll do that.

413
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:23,160
Thank you.

414
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,180
No more.

415
00:31:26,020 --> 00:31:27,320
Jim, kind of quiet today.

416
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:28,400
Okay.

417
00:31:29,060 --> 00:31:29,800
Jesse, is that it?

418
00:31:30,260 --> 00:31:30,800
That's it, sir.

419
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:31,200
Okay.

420
00:31:31,940 --> 00:31:32,700
Any other comments?

421
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:33,820
No?

422
00:31:34,220 --> 00:31:34,400
Okay.

423
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,160
At this time, I would love to move the executive session up forward because

424
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,600
is we have somebody waiting in the console chamber.

425
00:31:45,580 --> 00:31:47,740
Is there any way we can, would anybody object

426
00:31:47,740 --> 00:31:50,540
to moving the executive session up forward?

427
00:31:52,810 --> 00:31:52,870
No?

428
00:31:53,890 --> 00:31:56,810
Any objections on moving the executive session?

429
00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:59,090
Marty, we're gonna go into executive session,

430
00:31:59,430 --> 00:32:02,550
so it'll be A, B, and I think C.

431
00:32:03,930 --> 00:32:06,110
All right, so executive session,

432
00:32:06,490 --> 00:32:09,730
item 15A, attorney consultation pursuant

433
00:32:09,730 --> 00:32:11,790
to section 551.071.

434
00:32:11,790 --> 00:32:17,270
1, Texas government code to receive legal advice and counsel on connection with city

435
00:32:17,270 --> 00:32:23,370
rights, duties, privileges, obligations under Chapter 143 and 142 of the Texas local government

436
00:32:23,370 --> 00:32:28,650
code as related to contract negotiations between the City of Del Rio Fire Professional Firefighters

437
00:32:28,650 --> 00:32:36,450
Association, Item 15B pursuant to Texas government code Section 551.072, Deliberation

438
00:32:36,450 --> 00:32:40,890
on Matters Concerning Real Property to Deliberate the Purchased Exchange Lease or

439
00:32:40,890 --> 00:32:46,830
value of real property in deliberation. If deliberation in open meeting would have a detrimental

440
00:32:46,830 --> 00:32:52,290
effect on the position of the government body in negotiations with a third person for city

441
00:32:52,290 --> 00:32:57,190
projects. And item 15c, the city council for the city of Del Rio will meet an executive

442
00:32:57,190 --> 00:33:02,470
session pursuant to Texas government code section 551.071, consultation with the

443
00:33:02,470 --> 00:33:09,130
attorney to deliberate and discuss pending litigation related to just contracting LLC

444
00:33:09,130 --> 00:33:13,970
versus City of Del Rio in the 83rd Judicial District Court, Valverde County, Texas.

445
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,800
It's 7.03 and this council will go into executive session

446
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,900
and there was no action taken.

447
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:33,300
At this time we'll go ahead and proceed with item 9, the finances.

448
00:33:34,340 --> 00:33:37,780
I think we have number 8, City Manager Informational Update.

449
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,480
City Manager Informational Update?

450
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,040
Quick and easy.

451
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,600
Thank you, Mayor and Council. Yes. We just want to really quickly on the airline.

452
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:50,360
We have submitted our letter for signatures.

453
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,520
We're collecting a lot of signatures right now.

454
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,320
That effort's going really good.

455
00:33:54,460 --> 00:33:58,020
So we're going to pull those back and put them all into one letter.

456
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,120
We're continuing our communications.

457
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,160
We're working with our representatives in our lobbyists in D.C. and Austin.

458
00:34:04,180 --> 00:34:09,680
We've been supplying a lot of data, both as far as passenger counts

459
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,400
and financial impact on the region.

460
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:18,100
Mr. Ramon has been getting a lot of information for us on the impact in Mexico and other parts

461
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:18,640
of our region.

462
00:34:19,220 --> 00:34:24,520
We're looking at our Routes America conference that's scheduled to be March 21st and 22nd

463
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:24,760
in Chicago.

464
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,780
We're really excited about that because all the regional and national carriers are going

465
00:34:29,780 --> 00:34:30,300
to be there.

466
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,620
It's a perfect opportunity for us to take.

467
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,720
We're going to set up a tent, have our city staff there.

468
00:34:35,720 --> 00:34:37,180
Mr. Onofre, Mr.

469
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,420
Ramon, and Ms. Mariner will be attending.

470
00:34:43,240 --> 00:34:45,080
And then we're going to set up all of our promotional.

471
00:34:45,540 --> 00:34:47,900
Our lobbyist tells us that this is an excellent opportunity

472
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:50,080
for us to really see all the airlines,

473
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,940
to have a chance to meet and visit with all of them.

474
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,120
One thing we're kind of excited today,

475
00:34:58,260 --> 00:35:00,580
the mayor and I and Mr. Ramon and Mr. Onofre

476
00:35:00,580 --> 00:35:01,940
went to a meeting at the fort.

477
00:35:01,940 --> 00:35:11,780
work, and we've come across some new opportunity for hopefully to greatly maximize our cargo

478
00:35:11,780 --> 00:35:15,820
that we have coming into our airport. We're really excited. It looks like we're going to

479
00:35:15,820 --> 00:35:23,280
be able to work to try and make Del Rio International a cargo destination as well. We've completed

480
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,520
our tentative itinerary for our Del Rio Valverde legislative days, which is the

481
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,040
same day as the conference in Chicago, March 21st and 22nd.

482
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:35,560
And we'll be sending that out to the entities tomorrow so that

483
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,960
we can start getting counts from all the entities of who they

484
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:38,700
want to attend.

485
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,480
What's important for us right now is just to get counts of

486
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,760
attendees so we can finalize the schedule with our DC

487
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,360
lobbyists.

488
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,660
Meetings are being set up with the agencies and the

489
00:35:50,660 --> 00:35:53,420
responsibilities for all the agencies with the

490
00:35:53,420 --> 00:35:56,400
responsibilities based on the entity's priorities.

491
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,640
So we just want Council to think about that,

492
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:04,380
who may want to attend and just think about it a little bit.

493
00:36:04,540 --> 00:36:05,900
We'll be reaching out to all of our Council.

494
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:08,340
On the Second International Bridge is really quick.

495
00:36:09,140 --> 00:36:12,180
SMB is meeting with, they're still meeting with a couple of

496
00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:15,620
the large landowners and we're just kind of...

497
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:25,680
19 loans that the city currently has outstanding.

498
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:31,900
Again, the par amount of all those loans is $80,460,000.

499
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,580
And we do have that broken out by funding source.

500
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,600
We also have a show there, the call dates.

501
00:38:41,180 --> 00:38:46,960
What we try to do periodically is review the outstanding portfolio

502
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,480
and try to identify it

503
00:38:57,020 --> 00:39:00,080
and we find ourselves in a higher interest rate environment

504
00:39:02,420 --> 00:39:09,140
So while we do recognize that there are some outstanding series that are eligible to be

505
00:39:09,140 --> 00:39:14,340
called away, we kind of looked at those who can't really see what it makes economic sense

506
00:39:14,340 --> 00:39:19,880
to recommend that the city of this point step forward with a group connection transaction.

507
00:39:20,620 --> 00:39:24,620
That doesn't mean that you still won't monitor that as late as kind of movement.

508
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:40,430
Our hope is that maybe by mid-year, we start to see some better summaries that we will get a head around in quite possibly by the end of the year that maybe starts moving in the opposite direction.

509
00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:55,570
One item at the top, city's bond rating, again, just as a reminder, the city carries a AA rating by all three rating agencies.

510
00:39:56,710 --> 00:40:03,030
AA3 by Moody's, S&P is rating an A- and Pitch and a AA rating.

511
00:40:03,390 --> 00:40:04,970
A very strong investment grant rating.

512
00:40:05,550 --> 00:40:07,170
What does that mean with the next year?

513
00:40:07,290 --> 00:40:10,130
It means that the city can go out of bond and capital markets.

514
00:40:10,130 --> 00:40:15,870
And in those cases, we don't have to pursue a paid-for private bond insurance.

515
00:40:16,410 --> 00:40:17,310
Because there's just a lot of

516
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:35,300
slide four that follows outlines the utility for water and sewer.

517
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:41,780
And we put that in there because part of this large-duration agreement we're going to show here in a minute

518
00:40:41,780 --> 00:40:47,740
includes about 5 million that would be self-support on water and wastewater system.

519
00:40:47,740 --> 00:40:56,220
And so, as you can see there, we have about 18 of the 19 of those that were shown previously

520
00:40:56,740 --> 00:40:59,800
have some poisonous blue paint from water and soar.

521
00:41:00,380 --> 00:41:01,800
So the rest of those are not for you.

522
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:05,400
But really the take away here is the green.

523
00:41:05,900 --> 00:41:11,160
The red line represents the revenues available to service the debt

524
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:20,960
And kind of the gray and no shade of colors represent the data that's expanded and supported by the system.

525
00:41:21,660 --> 00:41:26,760
So in a nutshell, revenues are quite substantial and more than covered.

526
00:41:32,730 --> 00:41:38,110
As we move along, we kind of addressed the parts of the presentation that we're giving to the planet right now.

527
00:41:38,310 --> 00:41:45,750
And I'm now working at slide six, where with this proposed issuance of general address default projects

528
00:41:46,510 --> 00:41:56,590
improvements to the animal care facility, drain into the utility improvements, street sidewalk improvements, park projects, and of course some water system improvements.

529
00:41:57,470 --> 00:42:11,990
All of those were total $27 million. And so with this issue, it will raise $27 million. Now slide 7 kind of shows us how we raise that money and what we do with it.

530
00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:22,650
So essentially the par amount of bonds that will issue is $26 million, or what we're proposing is $26 million, $150,000.

531
00:42:23,630 --> 00:42:32,410
We anticipate being able to generate approximately $1.3 million worth of premium for a total sources of funds of $27.4 million.

532
00:42:33,670 --> 00:42:42,110
Now, of that, we'll take $27 million, put that into a project fund to address the pre-identified project.

533
00:42:42,830 --> 00:42:48,930
The remainder will go towards expenses and additions of underwriters' discounts and things like that.

534
00:42:49,110 --> 00:42:53,070
They're paid for, respectively, through transaction such as loans.

535
00:42:54,010 --> 00:43:00,810
and essentially that the project balances out and raises the money at that time to show how this runs on the space.

536
00:43:02,170 --> 00:43:10,790
And the slide that follows, slide eight, we're going to show you a spreadsheet and some of you may be familiar with viewing this,

537
00:43:11,290 --> 00:43:16,150
but this essentially is a tax rate impact sheet prior to issuing any debt.

538
00:43:16,650 --> 00:43:19,750
And I'll kind of move through this from left to right.

539
00:43:20,350 --> 00:43:26,330
And that is the second column from the left, we show the net assessed valuation of the city.

540
00:43:27,570 --> 00:43:32,670
If we move over two more columns to the right, we show the current existing debt of the city.

541
00:43:33,190 --> 00:43:34,190
And this is debt service.

542
00:43:34,450 --> 00:43:38,130
So this is, you might say, well, why is it different from what I saw in slide two?

543
00:43:38,290 --> 00:43:41,410
It's because this is principal and interest, the central interest of principal.

544
00:43:41,650 --> 00:43:44,930
So total debt service is in that fourth column from the left.

545
00:43:45,990 --> 00:43:51,810
If we move over a little bit to the column that reads less existing self-supporting,

546
00:43:51,850 --> 00:43:56,410
we essentially take your total debt, we subtract out what's supported from enterprise phones,

547
00:43:57,270 --> 00:44:00,790
and we arrive at total net debt service requirements.

548
00:44:01,530 --> 00:44:05,810
And that column I'm reading is, let's see, four from the right.

549
00:44:07,690 --> 00:44:11,750
And so the column that is third from the right, total required, and that's tax rate,

550
00:44:11,750 --> 00:44:17,190
That essentially tells me what tax rate do we need to log into service in our annual debt payment.

551
00:44:17,810 --> 00:44:19,870
And again, this is prior to any issue.

552
00:44:20,070 --> 00:44:33,270
So if we flip the pet slide and go into slide nine, we see that we've now present the proposed structure of the 26.1 million CA.

553
00:44:34,090 --> 00:44:42,270
And so we see that that first green column represents the principal amount, which is $26,150,000.

554
00:44:43,150 --> 00:44:51,030
The interest associated with that is immediately next to it, and that totals to $15,461,598.

555
00:44:51,510 --> 00:44:58,230
So total debt service is that third green column, and total debt service comes out to the $41,576,590.

556
00:44:59,510 --> 00:44:59,950
No, it's...

557
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:09,660
Columns to the right. Again, total debt service plus what's existing. We subtract the

558
00:45:09,660 --> 00:45:14,700
debt service that's supported from enterprise funds, and we arrive at the total net debt

559
00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:18,840
service requirement of the session. The debt service that's going to be supported by the

560
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:27,600
INS. Now the total required tax rate, again, is there. And so as we see when this, we

561
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:34,660
start paying for this debt in fiscal 24, we show that effectively we would need the same

562
00:45:34,660 --> 00:45:40,320
amount of money. So another way of saying that is that we can issue this debt without really

563
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:46,980
changing the tax rate at all or certainly not increasing the same amount of tax money

564
00:45:46,980 --> 00:45:52,660
that's being assessed this year can support the payment next year.

565
00:45:52,820 --> 00:45:57,280
So there will be no effective increase needed to protect.

566
00:46:04,610 --> 00:46:11,110
Slide 10 shows us, again, kind of as a recap on the effect of the summary, that portfolio.

567
00:46:12,010 --> 00:46:18,810
So that first gray shaded column is, again, where we are in 2022, similar to what we showed you on slide 2.

568
00:46:19,690 --> 00:46:29,490
The column immediately to the right of that shows that what would happen if the city chose not to issue any debt this year.

569
00:46:30,090 --> 00:46:35,670
You would see how the balances kind of change in each funding column.

570
00:46:36,350 --> 00:46:44,930
And the last column there on the right effectively shows where we'll be post-issue after issuing the COs.

571
00:46:44,930 --> 00:46:57,010
So, you can see we're, you know, a little bit north of where we ended up in 29 to anticipate the totals here that to be there just at 98.949.

572
00:46:59,110 --> 00:47:06,610
And again, that's the value of tax rate increase to be able to do all of this.

573
00:47:07,830 --> 00:47:12,050
And the slide that follows, slide 11, we just show you the times timeline.

574
00:47:12,050 --> 00:47:15,930
This is, you know, not unlike other times that we've done COs.

575
00:47:16,110 --> 00:47:18,530
We usually can start to finish this process.

576
00:47:18,750 --> 00:47:20,390
We'll take it up about 90 days.

577
00:47:21,250 --> 00:47:24,230
Council decides to move forward with this.

578
00:47:24,750 --> 00:47:30,530
We'll begin working with city staff and Mr. Bottas to work on an offering document.

579
00:47:31,090 --> 00:47:37,470
We'll also schedule appointments to visit via phone call with bringing agencies.

580
00:47:37,470 --> 00:47:45,790
and would work to price the obligations in late March, and after a successful pricing

581
00:47:46,190 --> 00:47:52,870
would then work to close out the transaction, which we would anticipate being around mid-April

582
00:47:52,870 --> 00:48:00,610
on identifying the 2019 as a potential date to close, so all in we could have money to

583
00:48:01,430 --> 00:48:01,990
And

584
00:48:05,730 --> 00:48:13,030
finally, on slide 12, again, we just showed finance and team participants with the city of Del Rio

585
00:48:13,030 --> 00:48:14,630
being an issue or in the certificates.

586
00:48:15,790 --> 00:48:21,090
The Stratick and the HUSA call partners to important serving as bond counsel and financial advisor

587
00:48:21,090 --> 00:48:28,310
and bond counsel respectively be okay for them to serve as a place manager as they have served the city

588
00:48:28,310 --> 00:48:30,770
in such capacity on previous issues.

589
00:48:31,430 --> 00:48:34,190
with it on underwriters and their counsel.

590
00:48:34,610 --> 00:48:36,850
You know, we would certainly work with city staff

591
00:48:36,850 --> 00:48:41,510
to identify some capable firms to participate

592
00:48:41,510 --> 00:48:43,710
in these underwriters and on-fights.

593
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,980
The slides that follow are a mark it up bank.

594
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,340
And welcome to move through that.

595
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,180
You know, if there's one real take away for me,

596
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:57,740
it's on slide 14.

597
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,440
And what we show you there in the lower left is a,

598
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,180
What we refer to as the MMD or the municipal market here,

599
00:49:05,420 --> 00:49:09,580
it's essentially the curve that we pay attention to in the municipal bond sector.

600
00:49:10,420 --> 00:49:16,300
And so what's noticeable is, you know, in January of 23, which is the green line,

601
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,160
we're a little below where we were last month,

602
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,740
but we're noticeably above where we were in January of a year.

603
00:49:25,660 --> 00:49:28,340
You know, that's about really kind of January,

604
00:49:28,340 --> 00:49:32,860
January or early February is when we really started to kind of see this graph or a little

605
00:49:32,860 --> 00:49:33,280
crazy.

606
00:49:34,180 --> 00:49:42,260
And I find phenomenal that last year around January, if I was looking for a mortgage,

607
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,660
I'm still probably going to block your pretty good rate.

608
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,140
Now I'm looking at a rate that

609
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:01,320
our anticipated bottom cost is a little bit to that.

610
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:10,900
And I think our 4.49 percent, yeah, 4.49 is where our current markets rates are and we're

611
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:13,900
adding a current basis point to our 4% on top of that.

612
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,180
That's just kind of conservative and modern.

613
00:50:17,420 --> 00:50:21,280
So as we move through this action, if rates kind of move, we're not surprised.

614
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:26,620
We're, of course, going to work real hard to get under that rate or to get a rate

615
00:50:26,620 --> 00:50:29,220
lower than that, secure something lower than 4.49.

616
00:50:29,220 --> 00:50:31,460
And then I think it's doable, you know,

617
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:32,940
the city does have a strong credit rating.

618
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,220
So I think that speaks a lot and obviously it has a reputation

619
00:50:37,220 --> 00:50:40,510
like being in

620
00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:46,640
some city with stable, good fiscal year.

621
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:47,180
It's

622
00:50:54,980 --> 00:50:57,680
going to be our jobs to get it out of the water.

623
00:51:00,210 --> 00:51:01,930
In fact, that completes my part of the presentation.

624
00:51:04,780 --> 00:51:06,500
I think any questions from the council?

625
00:51:07,500 --> 00:51:07,740
Thank

626
00:51:22,940 --> 00:51:23,400
you.

627
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:23,840
Thank you.

628
00:51:25,700 --> 00:51:29,320
Item 9B, Resolution 2023-002,

629
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:34,960
The resolution authorizing, posting, and publication of notice of intention

630
00:51:35,420 --> 00:51:39,140
to issue City of Dury of Texas combination tax and revenue certificates

631
00:51:39,140 --> 00:51:42,280
of obligation in a maximum aggregated principal amount,

632
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:46,340
not to exceed 27 million, and providing an effective date.

633
00:51:46,620 --> 00:51:48,020
Do I have a motion on the diaries?

634
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:48,600
Do

635
00:51:54,450 --> 00:51:55,010
I have a second?

636
00:51:55,370 --> 00:51:55,790
Do I have a second?

637
00:51:56,250 --> 00:51:57,270
Do I have a second?

638
00:51:58,110 --> 00:51:59,130
Any questions?

639
00:51:59,790 --> 00:52:00,190
Any questions

640
00:52:04,930 --> 00:52:08,870
about where the $5 million for the waterfront comes from

641
00:52:08,870 --> 00:52:12,930
because when I looked at the agenda on Sunday afternoon,

642
00:52:13,030 --> 00:52:14,910
that was the first time that I ever heard about $27 million.

643
00:52:15,450 --> 00:52:17,990
We've been talking about $22 million all last summer.

644
00:52:18,830 --> 00:52:23,290
You know, page 145 of the budget book doesn't mention anything related

645
00:52:23,290 --> 00:52:29,590
to water until the 25, yeah, the 2025-2026 budget.

646
00:52:29,990 --> 00:52:34,890
And then all of a sudden, we go from 22 to 27, and we have it.

647
00:52:34,890 --> 00:52:40,570
There's nothing really in the agenda about water rates, how we're paying for it, you know.

648
00:52:41,570 --> 00:52:42,510
Yes, thank you.

649
00:52:43,230 --> 00:52:47,710
So yes, to answer, we've been talking about the $22 million for a while.

650
00:52:48,670 --> 00:52:56,330
Of course, the funding for that would be spent differently than what we originally budgeted based on those costs.

651
00:52:56,990 --> 00:53:00,710
And you're right, we hadn't talked about the $5 million for the water project.

652
00:53:00,710 --> 00:53:06,730
This came about and felt like it was a good opportunity to include it with this issue,

653
00:53:06,990 --> 00:53:13,290
so we didn't have any additional costs for doing another issue in the near future.

654
00:53:14,070 --> 00:53:19,610
And so my thought was for the five million, we have a couple of projects that are on the horizon.

655
00:53:19,810 --> 00:53:25,370
One is the AMI automatic meter reading infrastructure that we had a presentation on.

656
00:53:25,370 --> 00:53:30,270
So for the water portion, that was about $5.3 million.

657
00:53:30,790 --> 00:53:31,850
So we had that coming.

658
00:53:33,130 --> 00:53:42,690
And my thought was to use a portion of this funding for that using our excess fund balance for another portion of it.

659
00:53:43,130 --> 00:53:51,770
And more hopefully we can apply with the Texas Water Development Board in March for a low interest rate loan.

660
00:53:51,770 --> 00:53:54,810
And they look at those type of projects, such as that.

661
00:53:55,470 --> 00:53:58,610
And so they have an interest in funding those kind of projects.

662
00:53:59,070 --> 00:54:04,650
But I didn't want to forego this opportunity in case we didn't get that funding.

663
00:54:05,110 --> 00:54:13,550
We could then go ahead and get started with bringing a contract back to start the automatic meter reading and AMI project

664
00:54:13,550 --> 00:54:16,410
and then still have the money to get started.

665
00:54:16,830 --> 00:54:21,050
We'll still have to use some of our fund balance, but this would get us started.

666
00:54:21,050 --> 00:54:27,790
The other portion is with the 2019 B. Texas Water Development Board.

667
00:54:28,230 --> 00:54:35,730
We have borrowed money there, and also the 2021 B. through the Texas Water Development Board

668
00:54:35,730 --> 00:54:38,330
for the Waterline Replacement Project.

669
00:54:38,910 --> 00:54:41,030
And that's a major project.

670
00:54:42,030 --> 00:54:44,310
Those two fundings aren't going to cover all of it,

671
00:54:44,490 --> 00:54:50,050
but there is a need for us to go back and start pretty soon with the next day.

672
00:54:50,050 --> 00:54:54,050
So we look at that with the Texas Water Development Board also.

673
00:54:54,510 --> 00:54:56,710
So that was my plan with this 5 million.

674
00:54:56,890 --> 00:55:00,030
Yes, we had really talked about it in prior discussions.

675
00:55:00,330 --> 00:55:05,850
But again, I just felt like it would save us money to include this with the issue.

676
00:55:06,250 --> 00:55:14,250
It would be paid through the revenues, the rates that we currently have through our utility fund, our water system.

677
00:55:14,850 --> 00:55:18,910
So based on that and based on the operations of the fund,

678
00:55:18,910 --> 00:55:25,110
I don't foresee we have to raise the rate when we keep it as it is and still fund

679
00:55:25,110 --> 00:55:27,890
that principal interest payments with our assistance.

680
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,940
No plan to raise rates at this

681
00:55:36,050 --> 00:55:36,110
point.

682
00:55:36,110 --> 00:55:41,270
That particular project, hold on, Debbie, comes up in the rules of difference.

683
00:55:41,410 --> 00:55:45,510
So you're saying that we're going to use the excess fund balance,

684
00:55:45,630 --> 00:55:48,010
which I've been told before that we can't use?

685
00:55:51,170 --> 00:55:52,430
Yeah, yeah.

686
00:55:52,430 --> 00:56:01,210
So last time when a few months ago we had water pumps for about $480,000 and I said,

687
00:56:01,270 --> 00:56:07,210
hey, why finance can pay $80,000 in interest fees, use the excess fund balance and I was

688
00:56:07,210 --> 00:56:13,670
told we couldn't use that money because that would provide a red flag to the credit rating

689
00:56:13,670 --> 00:56:14,070
agencies.

690
00:56:15,110 --> 00:56:19,050
Because that particular fund that we were talking about was not the water fund.

691
00:56:19,230 --> 00:56:23,130
It was the fixed asset fund and they didn't actually have a fund balance.

692
00:56:23,930 --> 00:56:28,450
But those pumps were for the water system. They were for the water treatment plan.

693
00:56:29,110 --> 00:56:33,550
So how is that not usable from the water fund?

694
00:56:34,550 --> 00:56:37,270
That could be yes, but that wasn't the discussion.

695
00:56:38,570 --> 00:56:43,650
I was told we could not use it, not because it should come out of the fixed asset fund,

696
00:56:43,650 --> 00:56:49,050
but because we can't use the excess money above our four-month or five-month fund balance

697
00:56:49,050 --> 00:56:52,090
because that would provide a red flag to the credit rating agencies.

698
00:56:52,430 --> 00:56:57,270
That's what I was told and honestly it was in your office and in your office where we've

699
00:56:57,270 --> 00:56:57,970
had this discussion.

700
00:56:58,610 --> 00:57:03,870
So now all of a sudden we are using it because that is exactly why I wanted to lower the

701
00:57:03,870 --> 00:57:06,430
rates because these fund balances have been so high.

702
00:57:07,270 --> 00:57:12,090
Right, and even through the budget discussions, we have the long-range plan to lower that

703
00:57:12,090 --> 00:57:13,330
excess fund balance.

704
00:57:13,830 --> 00:57:18,710
And that's why we've made some of the changes we've done is to reduce that somewhat.

705
00:57:19,170 --> 00:57:23,730
I mean, it doesn't happen overnight, but it is scheduled to begin reducing that.

706
00:57:23,970 --> 00:57:24,490
Okay.

707
00:57:24,690 --> 00:57:33,130
But last meeting, and this is what I didn't discuss last meeting, we raised the natural

708
00:57:33,130 --> 00:57:34,730
gas rates by 5%.

709
00:57:34,730 --> 00:57:38,870
Which over the course of the year if we didn't do it would be approximately 185 thousand dollars

710
00:57:38,870 --> 00:57:46,350
Which would leave the excess above the four-month fund balance requirement that we have in in student locally at a balance of

711
00:57:46,350 --> 00:57:49,470
830 thousand dollars, but we raised rates anyway

712
00:57:50,710 --> 00:57:54,210
I mean what you know if if the plan is to

713
00:57:55,110 --> 00:57:58,410
You know lower that fund balance why not do it now, right?

714
00:57:58,950 --> 00:58:04,490
I mean yeah, maybe it's only five or ten bucks a month in each of the funds for various people

715
00:58:04,730 --> 00:58:08,290
But a lot of people, an extra 40, 50 bucks a month,

716
00:58:08,590 --> 00:58:12,850
that could be a big deal right now with the way that inflation is.

717
00:58:13,510 --> 00:58:14,330
So, I'm done.

718
00:58:15,670 --> 00:58:17,210
This comes from Sanchez.

719
00:58:18,710 --> 00:58:24,250
You know, the water meter project, wasn't that like $70 million?

720
00:58:24,630 --> 00:58:25,010
Yes.

721
00:58:25,590 --> 00:58:31,810
So you're looking ahead right now to try to get some money set up for that $70 million.

722
00:58:31,810 --> 00:58:36,210
And then use a portion from the utility fund and with the gas, again,

723
00:58:38,270 --> 00:58:39,370
to reduce the extra

724
00:58:48,810 --> 00:58:49,050
cost.

725
00:58:50,170 --> 00:58:50,770
No, ma'am.

726
00:58:51,010 --> 00:58:55,450
I was just going to add to Councilman DeRue and absolutely, I remember we discussed that

727
00:58:55,450 --> 00:59:00,710
Councilman, again, it's kind of, you know, it is, it's difficult, it's, you know, but

728
00:59:00,710 --> 00:59:02,010
we posed that question.

729
00:59:02,170 --> 00:59:05,210
I know we had talked about setting the meeting up with you, so we've been trying

730
00:59:05,210 --> 00:59:09,390
to explain the debt service, so we've been utilizing that to try and answer those

731
00:59:09,390 --> 00:59:09,770
questions.

732
00:59:10,630 --> 00:59:17,850
We had had our financial order come in and talked to us about that, and we posed that question to them, you know,

733
00:59:18,370 --> 00:59:20,930
and looking at that exact same sentence.

734
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:27,640
Is that my understanding?

735
00:59:27,820 --> 00:59:33,300
They confirmed that the way we were doing it, as opposed to paying off the whole $780,000,

736
00:59:36,570 --> 00:59:39,350
that's what I understood, but it made more sense.

737
00:59:40,090 --> 00:59:42,710
But I think maybe 20,000, I would work a bit

738
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,500
and have them come back and we can go through that again and talk about that.

739
01:00:03,060 --> 01:00:05,460
Any other questions, concerns,

740
01:00:08,380 --> 01:00:11,860
motion, second, all in favor,

741
01:00:13,990 --> 01:00:16,730
against, abstain,

742
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:19,840
adjourned.

743
01:00:21,220 --> 01:00:28,620
Item 9C, Ordinance 2023-006, an ordinance to direct city manager to approve a contract with AG3,

744
01:00:29,140 --> 01:00:34,480
group in the amount of $65,000 for engineering services for the south San Felipe Dreaming Study.

745
01:01:05,220 --> 01:01:09,880
This would be the first contact we have with them. They were part of our the request for

746
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:14,340
qualifications that we did a couple of months ago so that we could hire on-call engineering

747
01:01:14,340 --> 01:01:21,560
services. And they were one of the 10 firms that we went ahead and selected. So even though

748
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:27,240
it is not, we have not hired them in the past, we are familiar with them because we reviewed

749
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,860
their statements of qualifications.

750
01:01:32,140 --> 01:01:39,500
This is for the south company grade drainage study. Has it been in the past any of that study?

751
01:01:41,490 --> 01:01:45,030
I would have to ask Mr. Quintanilla to answer that question.

752
01:01:45,050 --> 01:01:46,470
Oh, we haven't had any other. We haven't had a study.

753
01:01:46,750 --> 01:01:48,110
I think we know the tour site.

754
01:01:48,670 --> 01:01:50,030
I'll look at the public works director.

755
01:01:50,410 --> 01:01:52,170
This hasn't been part of the study in the past.

756
01:01:52,490 --> 01:01:55,010
This is an area that wasn't in part of the FEMA studies or anything else,

757
01:01:55,250 --> 01:01:57,590
but is a part that we've noticed that there's flooding issues.

758
01:01:58,090 --> 01:01:59,230
As we want to address it,

759
01:01:59,230 --> 01:02:02,650
And the study would be for re-grading some of the roadways

760
01:02:02,650 --> 01:02:04,330
so we can get the water to flow down our streets better

761
01:02:04,330 --> 01:02:06,890
and then for a location for potential detention

762
01:02:06,890 --> 01:02:09,870
fund just north of Dr. Ferdinand-Linon

763
01:02:09,870 --> 01:02:11,390
to catch some of that water before it crosses

764
01:02:11,390 --> 01:02:12,770
and start flooding for the downstream.

765
01:02:14,930 --> 01:02:15,670
North only?

766
01:02:16,250 --> 01:02:16,710
Thank you.

767
01:02:16,890 --> 01:02:19,330
All north of Ferdinand-Linon between Railway Avenue

768
01:02:19,330 --> 01:02:21,630
and Ferdinand-Linon for now in this portion of it.

769
01:02:22,090 --> 01:02:23,750
But we want to continue on for the downstream.

770
01:02:23,930 --> 01:02:26,090
This is the address at first portion of it.

771
01:02:28,170 --> 01:02:30,710
And when would it be the rest?

772
01:02:31,430 --> 01:02:34,150
The rest is, as soon as we get this portion done, once we figure

773
01:02:34,150 --> 01:02:36,950
out the balance of the cost, we can start figuring out how

774
01:02:36,950 --> 01:02:37,650
to do the next phase.

775
01:02:37,930 --> 01:02:39,170
We'll continue on downstream on that.

776
01:02:40,910 --> 01:02:45,410
John, based on the, going back to this issue there,

777
01:02:45,650 --> 01:02:48,430
as far as the drainage after all this time that, you know,

778
01:02:48,550 --> 01:02:52,070
how bad it's been, did you all take consideration

779
01:02:52,070 --> 01:02:57,150
the most areas of streets, or is just, like,

780
01:02:58,230 --> 01:03:03,430
We had a whole lot of problems in a certain area.

781
01:03:03,850 --> 01:03:04,770
And it's all that area.

782
01:03:04,930 --> 01:03:07,210
Like I mentioned earlier, I came to council.

783
01:03:07,390 --> 01:03:11,990
I told the advice council that we were going to pause after Nicholson was installed on this project.

784
01:03:12,230 --> 01:03:13,370
I had gone out there myself.

785
01:03:14,030 --> 01:03:16,170
I've seen that for years that it was flooding.

786
01:03:16,450 --> 01:03:16,850
I'm sure we will.

787
01:03:17,190 --> 01:03:20,830
We have people that have had their homes flooded several times.

788
01:03:21,070 --> 01:03:21,490
That's by us.

789
01:03:22,010 --> 01:03:23,650
But yes, we did look at all that.

790
01:03:23,650 --> 01:03:25,350
So it's all that area where there were the,

791
01:03:25,750 --> 01:03:27,330
but if we have other areas in our town

792
01:03:27,330 --> 01:03:28,790
which are set aside in the Valley,

793
01:03:29,110 --> 01:03:30,550
we're going to get through to that place.

794
01:03:31,810 --> 01:03:34,670
But yes, this is an area that I don't think

795
01:03:34,670 --> 01:03:37,830
there's ever been any during these studies.

796
01:03:38,230 --> 01:03:39,490
It has never been studied,

797
01:03:39,630 --> 01:03:41,030
but it is a blood hazard.

798
01:03:41,170 --> 01:03:41,830
There's areas that we have.

799
01:03:42,150 --> 01:03:45,110
And it's called basically low hanging fruit.

800
01:03:45,250 --> 01:03:46,730
So when we can attack quickly

801
01:03:46,730 --> 01:03:49,570
and make some improvements to help a lot of the residents

802
01:03:49,570 --> 01:03:51,230
in that area, and then we'll continue

803
01:03:51,230 --> 01:03:54,650
on moving forward in other parts of town because we have other studies and everything else but

804
01:03:55,330 --> 01:04:00,770
one project alone we repair one piece of King's Way, raise the roadway, put the culverts across

805
01:04:00,770 --> 01:04:03,710
there and we get that whole nine million dollar balance. This is where we're looking at maybe

806
01:04:03,710 --> 01:04:08,230
spreading that nine million dollars and picking more residents and just looking at one solid

807
01:04:08,230 --> 01:04:11,730
location and trying to spread the wealth to improve range throughout the city better.

808
01:04:12,170 --> 01:04:16,610
And we have Councilman, we have looked at like retention plans and barriers are already

809
01:04:18,050 --> 01:04:27,750
So as a public work director study, we're going to go to those areas where it's the most, you know, it's the easiest and the most problematic one to find that category.

810
01:04:28,030 --> 01:04:30,390
So we can get the biggest bang on the money from that.

811
01:04:32,350 --> 01:04:33,650
That's the cover-up. I'm sorry.

812
01:04:33,990 --> 01:04:38,130
I'm okay. What is the time frame on the study?

813
01:04:38,690 --> 01:04:39,870
I'll show you in three months, please.

814
01:04:40,030 --> 01:04:41,950
Three months. And then from there on?

815
01:04:42,250 --> 01:04:46,410
And there they'll give us the studying or else then we need to start scheduling how we do the work.

816
01:04:46,790 --> 01:04:48,010
Because we're trying to see if we can do the street work.

817
01:04:48,570 --> 01:04:50,370
In this location we want to do is rebate the streets.

818
01:04:50,450 --> 01:04:54,650
Instead of having a normal crown where the center point of the street is the highest, we want to do an inverting crown.

819
01:04:55,010 --> 01:04:57,550
So actually you're funneling all the water down the middle of the street.

820
01:04:58,610 --> 01:05:00,430
We're starting to get...

821
01:05:00,430 --> 01:05:01,930
If we can finish the study in three months,

822
01:05:02,030 --> 01:05:05,330
then we're going to see if we can start scheduling our equipment and start doing that work as well on the streets.

823
01:05:06,490 --> 01:05:10,010
At the same time we're going to see about looking where that detention pond and the detention pond.

824
01:05:10,010 --> 01:05:14,530
We have to acquire that property still and then start looking at the calculation for the size of that detention park.

825
01:05:18,070 --> 01:05:20,750
We want to get started with at least three workers in three months.

826
01:05:20,890 --> 01:05:29,570
Yeah, because this is, I mean, already giving people that live in that area hope because they've been desperate on this for so many years.

827
01:05:30,250 --> 01:05:38,710
And, you know, we do want rain but there's some homes that we've seen these people have gone through so much.

828
01:05:40,450 --> 01:05:49,810
So, that's why I ask all this because it's got the town hall meetings that I have that's been every month.

829
01:05:49,970 --> 01:05:50,690
And you know that, John.

830
01:05:50,750 --> 01:05:51,070
Oh, absolutely.

831
01:05:51,750 --> 01:05:55,070
So, now, they have some focus.

832
01:05:56,150 --> 01:05:57,370
I'm very proud of it.

833
01:05:59,410 --> 01:05:59,890
This

834
01:06:02,100 --> 01:06:03,820
is the beginning of a lot more of

835
01:06:06,890 --> 01:06:08,990
the conversation through WALA through this.

836
01:06:09,410 --> 01:06:13,070
And up here by 5th Street, 6th Street right behind you.

837
01:06:13,070 --> 01:06:16,370
So, I think John was only working on some strategy.

838
01:06:16,690 --> 01:06:19,270
I think we're looking at retention points on Darkfield.

839
01:06:19,410 --> 01:06:20,990
We've got one down on Darkfield where

840
01:06:23,940 --> 01:06:24,840
there's a park where we

841
01:06:27,300 --> 01:06:28,040
strategize.

842
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:34,720
We're talking.

843
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:37,620
Have we reached out to them?

844
01:06:39,500 --> 01:06:41,640
We're all finding out what they're going to do with the hill.

845
01:06:42,500 --> 01:06:43,320
What they're bringing?

846
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,420
Because they're the ones that created it.

847
01:06:46,940 --> 01:06:48,920
We had a private number that we couldn't get rid of.

848
01:06:55,540 --> 01:07:10,740
We are going to reach out to them, it takes time to get the study results and everything else to figure out what improvements are needed, because the location we're looking at, the robo needs to do some improvements, the textile has some improvements, basically maintenance that need to be on their structure as well, and then combine that with the work that we do.

849
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:27,940
That's

850
01:07:32,290 --> 01:07:35,750
all I had for you, Mr. Winkie. Thank you. Any other comments?

851
01:07:37,890 --> 01:07:38,670
All in favor?

852
01:07:44,020 --> 01:07:50,560
Item 9D, Resolution 2023-003, a resolution authorizing and directing the city manager

853
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:56,000
to reject all proposals for the design production and installation of wayfinding signs for the

854
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:56,640
city of Delaware.

855
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:58,680
Do I have a motion in the dice?

856
01:07:58,940 --> 01:07:59,280
Motion.

857
01:08:04,990 --> 01:08:05,570
Any questions?

858
01:08:07,770 --> 01:08:08,310
No questions.

859
01:08:08,890 --> 01:08:09,150
Sure.

860
01:08:09,350 --> 01:08:11,070
Use of wayfinding signs.

861
01:08:11,750 --> 01:08:18,970
Do we have sufficient signs that put in certain areas or just don't need them?

862
01:08:19,650 --> 01:08:21,890
No, Councilman, what we're, what we're,

863
01:08:21,890 --> 01:08:23,650
as a matter of fact, I requested that we do this

864
01:08:23,650 --> 01:08:25,350
because so what we're trying to do is we're trying

865
01:08:25,350 --> 01:08:26,170
to get more signs.

866
01:08:26,470 --> 01:08:27,970
You know, we're trying to come up with a design,

867
01:08:28,310 --> 01:08:28,390
a

868
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,340
stand-tec that's designed by comprehensive plan

869
01:08:33,340 --> 01:08:36,360
and working with them and another design

870
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,240
that we're trying to come up with in your style.

871
01:08:38,440 --> 01:08:40,640
We're trying to come up with a unique design,

872
01:08:41,460 --> 01:08:43,700
that'll be used for signs of all of our parts,

873
01:08:43,860 --> 01:08:44,520
all of our systems.

874
01:08:53,090 --> 01:08:55,810
We're trying to think ahead as far as what our

875
01:08:56,350 --> 01:08:58,990
comprehensive master plan has some design that I'm going to do.

876
01:08:58,990 --> 01:09:01,950
So we're trying to take a couple of those design elements

877
01:09:01,950 --> 01:09:04,870
and then utilize those on all of our wayfinding signs

878
01:09:04,870 --> 01:09:06,690
and signs screwed up.

879
01:09:07,090 --> 01:09:08,770
So we'll be replacing those out of time.

880
01:09:14,290 --> 01:09:14,790
Any questions?

881
01:09:15,150 --> 01:09:15,710
Are you favorite?

882
01:09:16,630 --> 01:09:16,830
No.

883
01:09:17,330 --> 01:09:17,810
I'm

884
01:09:20,140 --> 01:09:21,040
funny on this one.

885
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,780
I would like to make a motion to actually get a motion

886
01:09:24,780 --> 01:09:26,520
to postpone it for the next week.

887
01:09:28,260 --> 01:09:30,700
Resolution 2020-2024.

888
01:09:32,220 --> 01:09:34,840
Can I get a motion to postpone it for the next month?

889
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:06,140
Yes, during the implementation process we've been having meetings today we had one at 2 p.m.

890
01:10:06,140 --> 01:10:15,140
So, today at 2 p.m. is whenever we found out that the cost for the additional item that we needed was going to be changing the totals on the agenda item.

891
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,740
So, we wouldn't be able to move forward with it because it's still going to have to change.

892
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:22,300
Any other questions?

893
01:10:23,140 --> 01:10:24,020
No, that's fine.

894
01:10:24,940 --> 01:10:25,660
All in favor?

895
01:10:40,440 --> 01:10:41,320
All right.

896
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,920
for the City of Jorio Police Department.

897
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:45,560
Do I have a motion to die?

898
01:10:46,660 --> 01:10:47,060
Any motion?

899
01:10:49,770 --> 01:10:50,550
Any second?

900
01:10:51,130 --> 01:10:51,610
Any questions?

901
01:10:53,090 --> 01:10:53,770
All in favor?

902
01:10:54,510 --> 01:10:56,530
I am 10,

903
01:10:58,640 --> 01:10:59,420
Assistant City Manager.

904
01:10:59,740 --> 01:11:03,840
10A, discussion regarding the original project timeline

905
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,640
and delays related to the change order

906
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,980
for the Brown Plaza Renovation Project.

907
01:11:08,260 --> 01:11:09,940
This is for Councilman Jesus Lopez.

908
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:11,880
Councilman Lopez?

909
01:11:13,060 --> 01:11:13,660
Yes.

910
01:11:13,660 --> 01:11:18,880
Yes. Well, let's talk to my attention about this timeline.

911
01:11:19,860 --> 01:11:21,640
This timeline I didn't even know existed.

912
01:11:22,780 --> 01:11:24,640
The timeline was given to me a few weeks ago.

913
01:11:25,220 --> 01:11:27,820
So, you know, based on the timeline,

914
01:11:29,420 --> 01:11:31,540
wherever it is right now in charge,

915
01:11:32,060 --> 01:11:34,560
we're overseeing this project in the timeline.

916
01:11:35,380 --> 01:11:37,200
And we have a progress report.

917
01:11:37,660 --> 01:11:40,200
We have a new transparency where we're at on this timeline.

918
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:53,240
Yes, we do receive daily emails right now, the last email that I received would have been on the 19th and we are right on schedule.

919
01:11:54,260 --> 01:12:02,140
Okay, but like from the 20th to the 25th timeline, it's supposed to be a 5 inch slab over the 4th.

920
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:07,720
There's no slab, there's no bar, just a fence.

921
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:12,900
I know they're saying delays with weather, basically today is one of those, but this one is for a little while.

922
01:12:14,500 --> 01:12:18,560
But there's nothing really on the timeline that I saw that they're keeping with the timeline.

923
01:12:19,100 --> 01:12:23,940
Well, up to the 19th they would be up to the timeline, right?

924
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:28,880
I do have, it does show here where we receive it.

925
01:12:28,940 --> 01:12:30,720
I can forward it to you if you would like.

926
01:12:31,700 --> 01:12:34,640
So up to the 19th we are up to date, right?

927
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:38,200
Of course, this week has been a little bit difficult because of the weather.

928
01:12:39,140 --> 01:12:40,660
They have been expecting rain.

929
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:43,360
So that's probably why there was delays.

930
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:48,660
Today would be the first delay that we've seen since we started on the project in December.

931
01:12:50,060 --> 01:12:56,340
Also, how many people in this contractor just hire have working on the project?

932
01:12:56,780 --> 01:12:59,420
I wouldn't have that information off the top of my head.

933
01:12:59,420 --> 01:13:04,340
I mean, does he have, like, one group doing wine, one group doing semen, one group doing

934
01:13:04,340 --> 01:13:06,460
that, or just one group doing one thing at a time?

935
01:13:06,660 --> 01:13:11,600
No, they do have several subcontractors that some are working on the foundation, some are

936
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:13,320
working on electrical, some are working on the plumbing.

937
01:13:15,180 --> 01:13:19,300
Yeah, for example, on Friday they did have JD plumbing out there, so they would have

938
01:13:19,300 --> 01:13:20,760
only been working on the plumbing portion.

939
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,380
And then, of course, the LMC Superintend intended.

940
01:13:24,180 --> 01:13:25,880
That's what the report shows on Friday.

941
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,100
Does anybody oversee physical?

942
01:13:28,780 --> 01:13:32,700
Yes, we do have Mr. Quintanilla who visits their constant lead, Greg,

943
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:34,960
and then Luis Midel is our project manager.

944
01:13:36,580 --> 01:13:37,140
Any

945
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:39,860
other questions?

946
01:13:42,460 --> 01:13:46,280
When you said that we're on timeline, you mean the revised timeline?

947
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:50,880
Yes, so based on being on that revised timeline,

948
01:13:52,740 --> 01:13:56,900
what would you estimate the chances of having it open

949
01:13:56,900 --> 01:13:59,560
by the St. Claude Mausoleum.

950
01:14:00,020 --> 01:14:02,720
Well, the timeline does show that it's going to be May 25th.

951
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,180
We are trying to get them to do it before then, right?

952
01:14:06,440 --> 01:14:08,800
But right now, the timeline does show May 25th.

953
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:09,780
So, unlike them?

954
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:11,720
If we base ourselves on the timeline.

955
01:14:14,020 --> 01:14:16,320
Basically, what you're saying is that we're going to do it right.

956
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:20,640
We've got to follow the timeline that's out there for May 25th.

957
01:14:22,820 --> 01:14:25,900
I would just say that if we don't want to have a rest project,

958
01:14:25,900 --> 01:14:27,380
then we would shift all that.

959
01:14:28,300 --> 01:14:34,000
I'd rather take our time doing it right than having to go back in and dig up something that we did wrong.

960
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:39,140
So, you know, I'm sorry, you can't always think of the mile to that location.

961
01:14:39,860 --> 01:14:42,340
But it's not a feasibility at this time. It's dangerous.

962
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:46,740
There's a construction site. You can't have people over there from the closet.

963
01:14:47,180 --> 01:14:51,340
What happens if the little kid gets by that net and falls in the ditch? Who's lying?

964
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:52,420
Clear.

965
01:14:53,420 --> 01:14:55,580
So it's better to do the project right.

966
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,100
We've got to let the contractor follow the flow of what he's doing.

967
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:13,080
There could be something that we could see in the time frame, but we can't predict the weather.

968
01:15:13,260 --> 01:15:17,960
We can't predict the elements that the term is working with.

969
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:25,740
Sometimes the client is not there all the time, so we've just got to proceed on it and follow the poll calls there.

970
01:15:25,740 --> 01:15:27,560
Yeah, we're not rushing it.

971
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:28,060
No shortcut.

972
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:33,680
I mean, we don't want to end up in some other things

973
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:34,700
that we already in there.

974
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,180
We're going to follow everything.

975
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:41,540
At the same time, I think I will speak for Councilman Lopez.

976
01:15:42,020 --> 01:15:44,800
I think his concern is the deadlines?

977
01:15:45,700 --> 01:15:48,700
Well, the deadline is one, but if they have a bigger crew,

978
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:50,580
there's just two people.

979
01:15:50,700 --> 01:15:52,520
Well, one of the things that, I mean, I'm going to tell you

980
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:59,060
as counsel, as mayor, we cannot tell the contractor

981
01:15:59,060 --> 01:16:02,220
if they want to do the thing that they're going to work with.

982
01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:04,680
It's up to the contractor to do that.

983
01:16:05,480 --> 01:16:10,420
I think our idea is we give the contractor to whoever's out there

984
01:16:10,420 --> 01:16:13,120
and they have to do the thing that they're going to do

985
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,120
trying to put everybody to work with.

986
01:16:15,260 --> 01:16:16,640
We have no say so.

987
01:16:16,780 --> 01:16:20,480
I don't think Mr. Machaka and Mr. Sheedy have that right

988
01:16:20,480 --> 01:16:24,100
go to a contractor and you're going to bring in $10,000 and you're going to bring in $20,000.

989
01:16:24,540 --> 01:16:27,700
It is not up to us, it's up to the contractor to do it.

990
01:16:27,700 --> 01:16:32,360
Because remember, if they don't finish on time, there are things they're going to have to pay back.

991
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:37,520
Because we have to demand that our attorney here next to us will put that into play.

992
01:16:37,660 --> 01:16:42,080
If they don't finish by a certain time, then they have to pay in late.

993
01:16:42,700 --> 01:16:43,100
Yes.

994
01:16:43,260 --> 01:16:47,520
So I just wanted to be just going to follow through on the protocol and the calendar process.

995
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,960
Is this time like it was a given to you or somebody created it?

996
01:16:52,580 --> 01:16:54,920
That was issued by the contractor, yes.

997
01:16:56,060 --> 01:16:56,420
Okay.

998
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:02,900
One little transparency and a little accountability to say, you know, people ask, what's going on?

999
01:17:03,060 --> 01:17:03,560
I don't know.

1000
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:06,980
So they know maybe they can relax.

1001
01:17:07,420 --> 01:17:07,600
Yes.

1002
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,520
I have a question for Mr. Lopez.

1003
01:17:12,380 --> 01:17:13,280
When did you get that?

1004
01:17:14,180 --> 01:17:14,880
Mr. Sheedy.

1005
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:15,540
When?

1006
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:17,960
Two weeks ago.

1007
01:17:18,900 --> 01:17:24,600
Okay, well he does include that in our weekly report, we've had that, so.

1008
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:26,440
This weekly report?

1009
01:17:26,980 --> 01:17:27,580
Oh, yes?

1010
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:28,960
Yes, every time.

1011
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:33,700
And he does a review update during the meetings as well.

1012
01:17:34,380 --> 01:17:36,920
We received several things.

1013
01:17:37,140 --> 01:17:37,920
I'll have them all here.

1014
01:17:39,480 --> 01:17:45,820
You know, when it was approved, the company, the amount,

1015
01:17:45,820 --> 01:17:51,880
We then, when the CDFW took over medicine and operation for the Bromplasa, it was back

1016
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:58,580
to transparency, we talked about transparency, September 28th of 2021, here it is, the amount.

1017
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:11,750
And then they brought back in November 29th also another additional because of what the company

1018
01:18:11,750 --> 01:18:15,910
and that is what they found.

1019
01:18:15,910 --> 01:18:21,790
So there was another additional amount, and so, you know, all that is here.

1020
01:18:22,070 --> 01:18:22,750
There are a little here.

1021
01:18:22,930 --> 01:18:25,450
Yeah, so talking about conspiracy is all here.

1022
01:18:25,810 --> 01:18:31,270
One thing being on paper, another scene of this, you know, we see it and we see it.

1023
01:18:31,370 --> 01:18:32,110
It's on website.

1024
01:18:32,910 --> 01:18:33,270
No, no, no.

1025
01:18:33,610 --> 01:18:35,510
I'm not talking about this.

1026
01:18:35,510 --> 01:18:36,950
This I got to do with that.

1027
01:18:37,530 --> 01:18:41,630
But if they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing, you know,

1028
01:18:41,710 --> 01:18:43,170
it's questionable what's going on.

1029
01:18:43,170 --> 01:18:45,450
Yeah, but this is not an in-house project.

1030
01:18:45,670 --> 01:18:49,190
This is a company that was a contractor that was hired.

1031
01:18:49,770 --> 01:18:52,370
I see your point, and all this falls

1032
01:18:52,370 --> 01:18:57,030
under your concern, mostly, is Cinco de Mayo.

1033
01:18:57,430 --> 01:18:59,230
And this has nothing to do with Cinco de Mayo.

1034
01:18:59,730 --> 01:19:03,530
The item came in to re-run an update.

1035
01:19:04,090 --> 01:19:07,450
Well, sometimes, things just don't go.

1036
01:19:07,590 --> 01:19:08,710
And Mr. Sanchez can say that.

1037
01:19:08,710 --> 01:19:11,570
Sometimes you go with this, this timeline, you know.

1038
01:19:13,110 --> 01:19:13,830
I understand.

1039
01:19:14,330 --> 01:19:17,930
Well, I just thought that was kind of upsetting.

1040
01:19:21,210 --> 01:19:23,910
It's just getting for me more...

1041
01:19:23,910 --> 01:19:28,530
No, no, for me it was kind of upsetting because, I mean, everything's been given.

1042
01:19:29,210 --> 01:19:31,050
I mean, I don't see why, but I understand.

1043
01:19:31,370 --> 01:19:31,690
I understand.

1044
01:19:32,430 --> 01:19:32,730
I do.

1045
01:19:33,430 --> 01:19:35,230
But everything's been given.

1046
01:19:35,230 --> 01:19:38,770
Well, we just have something to say to our constituents

1047
01:19:38,770 --> 01:19:39,750
when they asked me.

1048
01:19:39,870 --> 01:19:42,690
And basically, I don't try to get into that area.

1049
01:19:43,310 --> 01:19:45,970
Because I'm just looking to see what's going on.

1050
01:19:46,410 --> 01:19:47,830
So you don't try to get into the program?

1051
01:19:48,010 --> 01:19:50,430
Well, I have an idea.

1052
01:19:50,930 --> 01:19:51,250
I did?

1053
01:19:51,410 --> 01:19:51,810
I have to.

1054
01:19:51,830 --> 01:19:52,630
OK, let's bring it back.

1055
01:19:52,970 --> 01:19:53,290
Let's bring it back.

1056
01:19:54,070 --> 01:19:57,530
I think we already kind of see it as a factor.

1057
01:19:57,730 --> 01:19:59,150
And I think she did also.

1058
01:19:59,370 --> 01:20:04,230
I think it's something that will continue to make sure

1059
01:20:08,190 --> 01:20:15,770
I think it's something that the contractors out there have to do their job, get it done,

1060
01:20:16,350 --> 01:20:20,910
and not as fast as we want it, but as long as they follow the actual process.

1061
01:20:24,210 --> 01:20:36,070
We'd be happy to, like, we give it a short job and we can do the idea of the update that we could see that we would, and that we could see what it would all look like and what it would fall behind in the way.

1062
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:39,900
Definitely.

1063
01:20:40,300 --> 01:20:41,940
And there's always a solution to our problems.

1064
01:20:42,260 --> 01:20:45,280
So whatever problems occur, we could find a solution as a team.

1065
01:20:45,580 --> 01:20:54,880
I just want, I just want to proceed that to be, I mean, too many years, you know, too many years at 84.

1066
01:20:54,880 --> 01:21:02,680
that the city did not have now the operation management to do something with it.

1067
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:11,480
Now that we have it, I know that the entire city of the real is everybody goes out there, you know, to be done right.

1068
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:16,980
And it's going to be a major uplift. It's not just one item. It's a major uplift.

1069
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,680
So after, you know, some people might say we don't need this, we don't need that.

1070
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:24,820
Well, I mean, at the end of it all, everybody's going to know.

1071
01:21:25,440 --> 01:21:26,480
Because it is for the community.

1072
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:29,280
It's not for only who live on the Pacific Island.

1073
01:21:29,480 --> 01:21:31,260
It's for the entire city of Doreal.

1074
01:21:31,780 --> 01:21:37,980
And if it was donated from a family to the city of Doreal,

1075
01:21:38,380 --> 01:21:41,520
we have to continue the wishes.

1076
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:44,260
So that's all I have to say on that.

1077
01:21:44,620 --> 01:21:46,160
It's going to be done right.

1078
01:21:47,500 --> 01:21:49,960
Whatever time it takes is going to be done right.

1079
01:21:49,960 --> 01:22:01,500
We started this project after September because we wanted the Brown-Pilots Association to have their new face at the end.

1080
01:22:01,860 --> 01:22:07,020
We waited all those months. John can say different if I'm saying something that's not it.

1081
01:22:07,420 --> 01:22:10,840
So we started after now just to wait.

1082
01:22:11,620 --> 01:22:15,420
Well, you know, and go back, you know, I was going to kind of stop you

1083
01:22:15,420 --> 01:22:18,880
because this is only phase one of the capital improvements that we're going to do.

1084
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:24,340
So this is a phase that we want to make sure we take our time and do it right.

1085
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:26,480
Because the next phase is coming up.

1086
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,400
We're also going to be approved by this council.

1087
01:22:30,220 --> 01:22:31,820
And we're going to bring it forward soon.

1088
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,540
So there is still more to be done.

1089
01:22:34,860 --> 01:22:37,660
And I thank you, Mr. Montraca and Mr. Lopez.

1090
01:22:38,020 --> 01:22:40,620
Do you have any other questions so we can go ahead and field this?

1091
01:22:41,660 --> 01:22:43,200
Any other questions for Council?

1092
01:22:43,780 --> 01:22:45,420
Let's go on with the next item.

1093
01:22:45,780 --> 01:22:46,180
Thank you.

1094
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:47,160
Thank you, Mr. President.

1095
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:48,100
Thank you, Mr. Machaka.

1096
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:48,880
Thank you.

1097
01:22:49,260 --> 01:22:50,940
Item 11, Economic Development.

1098
01:22:51,540 --> 01:22:54,580
Item 11A, Resolution 2023-006.

1099
01:22:55,140 --> 01:22:58,280
A resolution appointing the new members to the type B,

1100
01:22:58,480 --> 01:22:59,960
W Economic Development Corporation,

1101
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:01,580
Board of Directors,

1102
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:04,620
Place 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

1103
01:23:05,020 --> 01:23:06,640
Do I have a motion in the diaries?

1104
01:23:06,980 --> 01:23:07,280
Motion.

1105
01:23:08,060 --> 01:23:08,620
Thank you.

1106
01:23:19,740 --> 01:23:32,420
Thank you for the hard work at the Type B transition board during all these months of authorizing

1107
01:23:33,180 --> 01:23:40,700
a lot of different documents, resolutions, and thank you to the council as well for also authorizing.

1108
01:23:40,900 --> 01:23:45,900
We did present all the documents to the state of Texas where it's official, a type B board,

1109
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:53,200
and we're now coming through you to a point, places one through seven,

1110
01:23:53,740 --> 01:23:58,820
and we would like to do a process by selecting, we have a container, a glass container,

1111
01:23:58,820 --> 01:24:08,520
to each one of the council members to select the first three names.

1112
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:14,120
So the first three names will be for one year term

1113
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:17,760
and the next four names will be a two year term.

1114
01:24:19,100 --> 01:24:19,620
So if you want me to.

1115
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:22,140
Mr. Ramon, sorry, you brought that up.

1116
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:27,440
So I know that the discussion would pass itself.

1117
01:24:27,440 --> 01:24:48,240
It says three places on a one-year term and four places at a two-year term, but on the actual resolution that is about ready to be signed and names allocated, it says three people have their term expires in 24, December of 24, and four people December of 25.

1118
01:24:48,440 --> 01:24:52,540
That would basically be two years and three years, not one year and two years.

1119
01:24:52,860 --> 01:24:54,340
Twenty-three to twenty-four.

1120
01:24:55,620 --> 01:25:04,360
But that's not what the discussion says, and then I just want to confirm that after that it will be a two-year term.

1121
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:10,840
So initially we'll have four people on a three-year term and three people on basically a two-year term.

1122
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:12,120
They can go for another two years.

1123
01:25:12,420 --> 01:25:12,580
Okay.

1124
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:13,300
Exactly, yes sir.

1125
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:14,120
Correct.

1126
01:25:15,220 --> 01:25:16,160
And if they...

1127
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:17,640
You just want to confirm that was intentional.

1128
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:22,320
And once they're appointed, they could go and also appoint

1129
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,000
them as the president, vice president, and select

1130
01:25:31,110 --> 01:25:32,310
the first team.

1131
01:25:32,310 --> 01:25:33,390
Oh, I go first?

1132
01:25:33,630 --> 01:25:33,650
Oh.

1133
01:25:34,370 --> 01:25:34,730
All right.

1134
01:25:37,250 --> 01:25:40,790
Sergio Diaz, one year, a person.

1135
01:25:41,110 --> 01:25:42,530
Yes, place one, thank you.

1136
01:25:42,530 --> 01:25:43,170
Yes, sir, yes, sir.

1137
01:25:43,250 --> 01:25:43,410
OK.

1138
01:25:43,890 --> 01:25:45,170
Santiago, Red Regions.

1139
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:51,480
Javier Calderón.

1140
01:25:52,220 --> 01:25:52,960
Javier Calderón.

1141
01:25:53,180 --> 01:25:53,280
Yes.

1142
01:25:58,440 --> 01:25:59,220
Cristina Berrera.

1143
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:04,120
Yes, sir.

1144
01:26:04,740 --> 01:26:05,260
Mr. Webb.

1145
01:26:07,740 --> 01:26:08,320
Go, Jorge

1146
01:26:12,740 --> 01:26:14,420
Sudeik.

1147
01:26:29,780 --> 01:26:30,240
Very well.

1148
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:16,780
Item number 12, community services, Resolution 2023-007, a resolution of the City of Georgia,

1149
01:27:16,980 --> 01:27:22,480
Texas Authorizing and Directing City Manager to submit the fiscal year 23 recreational

1150
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:26,400
trails grant application to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

1151
01:27:27,180 --> 01:27:33,840
Before we make the motion, I just wanted to point out that on the resolution itself,

1152
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:41,660
On the fourth, we're asked, there's been a couple of edits made of the work paid is going to be deleted.

1153
01:27:42,460 --> 01:27:48,140
And the dollar amounts are, so I'll read that glass, we're asked.

1154
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:57,320
This is, we're asked, the city of Jail Reel will request $300,000 to construct a shared use trail along the San Felipe Creek adjacent to Gladron Street,

1155
01:27:57,320 --> 01:28:07,020
all the way to Magnolia Street and must provide a cost match of $269,492.79 for a total estimated

1156
01:28:07,020 --> 01:28:22,380
project cost of $569,492.79. The new cost match is $165,515 and the new projected cost is $465,515.

1157
01:28:24,620 --> 01:28:26,540
Where did you get that number from?

1158
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,860
Because that's not the number in this document that was handed to us.

1159
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,980
So the attachment that you did is different than what's in the agenda,

1160
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,320
which is different than the email that you put on it.

1161
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:39,940
Okay.

1162
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:41,880
Is this the action?

1163
01:28:42,340 --> 01:28:42,660
Yes, sir.

1164
01:28:43,580 --> 01:28:45,840
Good evening, Councilor City Manager, Michael Garcia,

1165
01:28:47,440 --> 01:28:49,440
Assistant to City Manager and Greenfighter.

1166
01:28:49,440 --> 01:28:59,600
So the initially, so the change that we made, we had additional communication with Texas Parks and Wildlife also with the Land for Community Services.

1167
01:29:00,140 --> 01:29:06,600
So we're changing from an 8-foot wide concrete trail into a 10-foot wide natural surface trail.

1168
01:29:07,220 --> 01:29:13,940
So the construction cost actually decreased as well as the mobilization contingency.

1169
01:29:13,940 --> 01:29:21,820
The only reason why the total cost on the e-mail is not the same as on the attachment is because

1170
01:29:21,820 --> 01:29:30,740
we included the $42,300 that LIFE or Community Services will be charging for the grant administration

1171
01:29:30,740 --> 01:29:34,960
and to submit the grant application internally as staff members.

1172
01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:40,960
We had meetings regarding to identify the route of also the materials and also we

1173
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:45,000
we were able to get the estimated cost from Sandpick.

1174
01:29:45,440 --> 01:29:50,800
So that is the reason why the cost does not match on the email and on the construction.

1175
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:00,940
So I have a motion.

1176
01:30:04,140 --> 01:30:09,180
I know everyone's going to be shocked that I'm going to be pessimistic

1177
01:30:09,180 --> 01:30:15,460
related to money. So we've, you know, in my four and a half years on the council, we've

1178
01:30:15,460 --> 01:30:20,320
had a couple of projects like this come before us. And it's, oh, yeah, we're going to get

1179
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:23,240
a grant for this, grant for this, grant for this. And so this is all that the city

1180
01:30:23,580 --> 01:30:29,800
needs to put up. And then none of it happened. And now we're scrambled. So what is the

1181
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:35,840
plan, knock on wood when we don't get the $300,000. Are we going to scrap the plan

1182
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:37,340
or are we going to find the money somewhere?

1183
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:44,000
We have it included in the adopted capital

1184
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:51,680
improvement budget. The whole 465? No, we have the 265. Exactly. So, when we don't

1185
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:57,560
get the $300,000 from Texas Parks and Wildlife, are we going to scrap the plan or where

1186
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:04,200
going to get to $300,000? Well, I guess closer to $200,000 that we would need to do the plan

1187
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:09,880
based on this revised process. So again, if we were not to get the funding, if Council

1188
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:15,180
proceed or decided they would like to continue and proceed with the project, then we would

1189
01:31:15,180 --> 01:31:20,340
take the additional money that's in the effort to improve the fund, unbalance to

1190
01:31:24,780 --> 01:31:33,920
So, we have extra money that's, I guess, allocated in our capital improvement budget.

1191
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:39,380
Why don't we have all of that since almost all of that is borrowed?

1192
01:31:40,060 --> 01:31:43,160
Why don't we have that allocated against projects?

1193
01:31:43,540 --> 01:31:47,940
Well, it's a combination of borrowed and transferred in for operating funds.

1194
01:31:47,940 --> 01:31:58,410
And so some of the savings comes from projects that come in less than what we buy from under completion

1195
01:31:58,410 --> 01:32:02,330
or sometimes they get postponed to labor.

1196
01:32:04,730 --> 01:32:10,990
Again, if that's the way council decides they want to go, we have an improvement plan to come back.

1197
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:18,720
Any other questions from today?

1198
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:21,360
All in favor?

1199
01:32:22,580 --> 01:32:22,820
Right here.

1200
01:32:24,870 --> 01:32:31,010
and 13 consent agenda 13 a quarterly unaudited financial statements as of

1201
01:32:31,010 --> 01:32:36,650
September 30th 2022 and 13 be approval of January 10th 2023 regular

1202
01:32:38,110 --> 01:32:39,530
Do I have a motion to die?

1203
01:32:40,730 --> 01:32:41,770
I'll make a motion to approve.

1204
01:32:42,470 --> 01:32:44,030
In the rules, you have a second.

1205
01:32:44,530 --> 01:32:45,010
Open the web.

1206
01:32:45,810 --> 01:32:46,610
Any questions?

1207
01:32:46,990 --> 01:32:47,790
Is everybody reviewed?

1208
01:32:48,150 --> 01:32:49,870
Are they all in favor?

1209
01:32:50,610 --> 01:32:51,050
I have a vote.

1210
01:32:53,190 --> 01:32:54,270
I have a vote of 14.

1211
01:32:54,530 --> 01:32:55,250
Citizens comments?

1212
01:32:58,900 --> 01:33:00,440
I think we've got two.

1213
01:33:01,480 --> 01:33:03,320
P. Vallejo, concerns.

1214
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:05,440
Would you like to step up to the map?

1215
01:33:10,350 --> 01:33:11,270
You've got three minutes.

1216
01:33:14,150 --> 01:33:20,770
The average person does not have the time to come and sit and listen and wait to be heard.

1217
01:33:21,510 --> 01:33:27,470
After you have all been through most of the agenda and have made decisions that affect the citizens and the taxpayers.

1218
01:33:28,870 --> 01:33:32,270
I'm here to share my concerns or complaints, whatever you want to call them.

1219
01:33:32,910 --> 01:33:38,490
You make decisions, and many times you have not received or read all the facts that are presented.

1220
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:48,220
Ultimately, you are our voice, our vote and our representative in all the endeavors that

1221
01:33:48,220 --> 01:33:52,940
affect us in Del Rio and in how the taxpayers' money is used.

1222
01:33:53,660 --> 01:34:00,020
Whether you like it or not, we the citizens and taxpayers have the right to ask questions

1223
01:34:00,020 --> 01:34:02,440
of each one of you and we expect answers.

1224
01:34:03,740 --> 01:34:09,400
Some city of Del Rio employees are taking it upon themselves to do things, maybe even

1225
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:12,800
policy that does not exist and make a policy as they please.

1226
01:34:13,420 --> 01:34:15,060
You are not overlooking these matters.

1227
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:19,880
Example, there's a city-wide problem with stray animals, cats and dogs, and wildlife.

1228
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:25,380
The council may determine what approves, but approves the policy that is to be followed

1229
01:34:25,380 --> 01:34:29,660
when people report or when city employees have to deal with animal issues.

1230
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:35,800
If there is a policy in place whereby prohibiting the feeding of stray animals,

1231
01:34:36,140 --> 01:34:37,580
please make it known to us.

1232
01:34:38,180 --> 01:34:46,420
This is a city problem. You should not be placing the responsibility or the burden on the citizens to buy traps and to trap such animals.

1233
01:34:46,900 --> 01:34:53,220
Many times it is easier for an elderly person to feed the stray and have the animals move on to another house.

1234
01:34:54,540 --> 01:34:59,100
We have another issue with the water, the sewer and the gas rates.

1235
01:34:59,100 --> 01:35:14,720
People that are living in Del Rio 65 and older are unable to pay a lot of the rates and there is no breaking down during the year because you stick to the rates and you stick to whatever you've decided you're going to charge.

1236
01:35:15,740 --> 01:35:22,600
Payment plans are set up, but most of the time these people don't really have the money, so they're going to have to do without your services.

1237
01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:40,980
One other thing. When I ask questions of some of you, I am directed to go and speak with some other employee of the city because you don't know and they know more than you. That should not be the case. You should be up to date with the information and you should have a specific answer for us.

1238
01:35:40,980 --> 01:35:47,700
The airline issue is of utmost importance, but after two weeks, we finally got an update.

1239
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:50,020
That is unacceptable.

1240
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,220
And nothing was posted on the agenda.

1241
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:54,460
It was just brought up.

1242
01:35:55,700 --> 01:36:01,720
When you approve a project to be done, you approve the funds and you approve who will complete the project and how long it will take.

1243
01:36:02,500 --> 01:36:09,440
If there are any changes in any set agreement, then you need to place the item on the agenda and deal with it.

1244
01:36:09,440 --> 01:36:11,680
A prime example is brown plaza.

1245
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:17,340
For months, we've been asking why construction has stopped and why it will resume.

1246
01:36:17,980 --> 01:36:20,620
And the only thing I can tell you is that it is a safety issue.

1247
01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:25,880
The plastic that you have around that plaza causes liabilities.

1248
01:36:26,820 --> 01:36:29,240
There are ditches.

1249
01:36:29,780 --> 01:36:30,600
There are holes.

1250
01:36:30,900 --> 01:36:31,380
There are things.

1251
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:32,960
And the fencing is still down.

1252
01:36:33,340 --> 01:36:34,940
Today, the fencing was still down.

1253
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,860
And they only worked for two days, yesterday and today.

1254
01:36:41,250 --> 01:36:49,030
Well, this is ridiculous. This is really ridiculous, because if you're going to give us three minutes to talk, when do we ever get a voice?

1255
01:36:49,810 --> 01:36:50,230
You can always.

1256
01:36:50,690 --> 01:36:52,350
Yeah, you can always come back next week.

1257
01:36:52,790 --> 01:36:55,210
No, no, no. You can always meet with me, man. Your door is always open.

1258
01:36:55,570 --> 01:37:00,350
No. The thing is, is that we need to let you all know what's going on, and you need to let us know what's going on.

1259
01:37:00,970 --> 01:37:03,050
Appreciate that. Next, Carla?

1260
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:18,640
I'm here speaking for my cousin Denise Curley.

1261
01:37:19,480 --> 01:37:23,240
She uses the airline three to four times a year.

1262
01:37:23,480 --> 01:37:26,300
She lives in Oakland, New Jersey, and in Delaware.

1263
01:37:27,700 --> 01:37:31,180
She's been basically trying to see what she can do

1264
01:37:31,180 --> 01:37:33,160
and what we can do to get it going.

1265
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:35,640
This is something she wrote that I'm going to read now.

1266
01:37:38,740 --> 01:37:44,620
What I did, basically, regarding the airport is to get in touch with radio stations,

1267
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:48,660
TV stations like Fox, PBS, and local radio.

1268
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:52,860
I got in touch with, or tried to get in touch with, Senator Gonzales,

1269
01:37:53,440 --> 01:37:55,220
but he refuses to take my calls.

1270
01:37:57,740 --> 01:38:00,840
Local levels, well, there's been no response from main representatives.

1271
01:38:01,420 --> 01:38:03,360
That's what I've done regarding the airport.

1272
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:12,860
and government people at the airport like Border Patrol and Del Rio Police said they'd be more willing to sign any petitions to keep airport open.

1273
01:38:13,300 --> 01:38:20,660
When I spoke to the airline staff that were flying in from Del Rio, they said that there is no issue in staffing.

1274
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:28,120
The airlines, there's plenty of people who fly, its majority of what they believe happened is that there is a profit margin

1275
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:32,480
and that's missing for the CFO and the CEO of the airlines.

1276
01:38:33,820 --> 01:38:39,140
And we lost our grant for federal funding, and that's the real issue.

1277
01:38:39,580 --> 01:38:43,760
This has nothing to do with the pilot charges. There is no pilot charges.

1278
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:49,820
Like I said, she flies in three or four times a year, of course, flies in, flies out.

1279
01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:55,080
And when there was an airline here, she would have to rent a car to come down.

1280
01:38:56,080 --> 01:39:01,960
And she has a vehicle here but you know that's like extra money also that's all I have for that

1281
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:07,920
but also as far as a liability people waiting outside the train station should have a place to go in.

1282
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:13,200
What if they get hurt or they get held up, sitting out to a 3 o'clock in the morning

1283
01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:16,280
so we should consider doing something with that building.

1284
01:39:17,380 --> 01:39:19,700
Thank you customer locals for bringing that up.

1285
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:21,140
I appreciate it. Thank you.

1286
01:39:21,660 --> 01:39:22,020
That's all I have.

1287
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:35,340
So, we have executive session items to exit the session at number 15, an attorney consultation.

1288
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:39,220
Oh, I'm sorry, I've already read this before.

1289
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:41,100
So, you just need no action on any of them.

1290
01:39:41,140 --> 01:39:41,220
No.

1291
01:39:41,440 --> 01:39:41,620
Okay.

1292
01:39:44,340 --> 01:39:46,660
9.23 and the speed was a turn.
