1
00:00:02,950 --> 00:00:06,010
Good evening. Good evening ladies and gentlemen.

2
00:00:08,590 --> 00:00:11,170
We are thrilled that you're here.

3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,020
I just waited to see a teacher having to be quiet.

4
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:33,100
I was usually on the other side of that. No, thank you. And seriously, welcome everyone. As you can tell, we have a big big to do this evening.

5
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:42,300
But it is Tuesday, May 23, 2023 at 630 p.m. in Meadows Place City Hall and this is a Meadows

6
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:45,520
Place City Council regular agenda meeting.

7
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:54,020
Item A, we do not have Jimmy here, David, would you?

8
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,740
We're going to call item A pledge of allegiance and invocation, and so we're going to stand

9
00:01:00,740 --> 00:01:07,980
So we're going to ask a blackmer to come up and stand up and start us, I'll see all

10
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:09,580
the answer to do is start us.

11
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,580
So Luke, you ready?

12
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:11,780
Let us get stood up.

13
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:15,500
Everybody stand and place the flag right

14
00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:18,050
there.

15
00:01:18,250 --> 00:01:19,050
Let's just say it.

16
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:26,070
Ready?

17
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,320
Thank you.

18
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,700
And good.

19
00:01:48,820 --> 00:01:49,040
Stay.

20
00:01:49,460 --> 00:01:54,000
Remain standing for the invocation of the day works leading us in.

21
00:01:55,940 --> 00:01:59,860
Board, we just come to tonight and ask that you watch over this meeting.

22
00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:06,540
And we just are thankful that we can celebrate this freedom and meet and discuss business

23
00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:07,480
of this city.

24
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,560
Lord, we ask that you give us wisdom and discernment in the decisions that we have to

25
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:11,900
make.

26
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,040
We thank you for those in attendance tonight.

27
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,840
We ask that you continue to bless the city of Meadows in your name we pray.

28
00:02:26,690 --> 00:02:28,050
Look, do you have school tomorrow?

29
00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:34,190
You'll be able to go and say, hey, what y'all do last night?

30
00:02:35,170 --> 00:02:35,410
Let me

31
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,940
tell you.

32
00:02:39,940 --> 00:02:47,100
All right. Thank you very much and I'm going to meet again. I can't think. Oh, got it. I found it.

33
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,600
We have some election issues to take care of.

34
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,440
We're going to take take care of 50% of that council.

35
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,080
Since Kelly Mills is not here, she cannot be sworn in.

36
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:14,120
So this is to certify that the place all of them in place for is been selected or been awarded to Kurt Cobb Jensky.

37
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:24,120
So election matters the issuance of the certificate of election and the minister of the oath of office to elect officials, Kurt, number four.

38
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,400
position number four.

39
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,500
You want me to, oh, okay, well, I'll do that.

40
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:31,800
Ready?

41
00:03:34,820 --> 00:03:36,400
Repeat after me.

42
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,660
Mr. Standin.

43
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:51,100
Now the fight point, we can do.

44
00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:52,070
Pause.

45
00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:55,250
Eight to two, he execute the vote.

46
00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:56,890
All the time, 24.

47
00:03:57,690 --> 00:03:57,970
All the time.

48
00:03:58,830 --> 00:04:00,150
Three and a half minutes.

49
00:04:00,530 --> 00:04:01,190
Three and a half minutes.

50
00:04:01,490 --> 00:04:02,230
Three and a half minutes.

51
00:04:03,550 --> 00:04:04,290
Four and a half minutes.

52
00:04:05,630 --> 00:04:06,170
Four and a half minutes.

53
00:04:07,010 --> 00:04:07,990
Four and a half minutes.

54
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:09,310
I think it's been.

55
00:04:11,130 --> 00:04:13,750
Constitution of all kinds of seats.

56
00:04:14,530 --> 00:04:16,680
Constitution of this.

57
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Go ahead.

58
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,280
Get the hand up.

59
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:44,660
Kurt, how long have you been serving them?

60
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,560
I've been serving them.

61
00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:47,160
This is your third turn.

62
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:50,940
It's a little bit different going in your third turn

63
00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:52,740
than it was the first, isn't it?

64
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,160
And now we're really nervous.

65
00:05:00,170 --> 00:05:00,410
No.

66
00:05:02,690 --> 00:05:10,320
I get to talk with Mayor's of all across this county and matter of fact across this region.

67
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:18,200
And one of the things that we hold close to our best is our interactions with our council members.

68
00:05:19,660 --> 00:05:27,720
I don't have a problem in talking about my council members to anybody because we have an outstanding city council.

69
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,320
You've got people at care, to work hard, to work hard and well with one another, and

70
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:33,860
what's that.

71
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,040
And I just want you all to know, that that's not the case everywhere around here.

72
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,440
Matter of fact, you don't have to go very far to see a different attitude.

73
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,320
So Curt brings that willingness to work and looking for things to do and to bring forth as

74
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,760
to the rest of them.

75
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,820
graduates and welcome to the beginning of your third turn.

76
00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:00,240
Let's give you one more round.

77
00:06:05,690 --> 00:06:10,070
And this is the part that I'm really kind of looking forward to.

78
00:06:11,650 --> 00:06:15,330
Mayor Council, comments and the first thing we're going to do is introduce

79
00:06:15,330 --> 00:06:18,450
new Mayor Meadows Elementary School Principal,

80
00:06:19,310 --> 00:06:20,510
Sindel Buckburn.

81
00:06:21,010 --> 00:06:21,270
Buckburn.

82
00:06:29,980 --> 00:06:33,300
This is the first time I've ever recall speaking

83
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:33,700
There.

84
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,160
That good?

85
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,320
There you go.

86
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,020
Thank you so much.

87
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:39,760
I know.

88
00:06:40,180 --> 00:06:41,300
Working on it.

89
00:06:42,140 --> 00:06:43,180
Thank you, Cameron.

90
00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:48,860
I am just very thrilled to be here.

91
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:52,920
I do appreciate the city of Meadows for inviting me tonight.

92
00:06:53,660 --> 00:06:55,080
And I'm just so thankful.

93
00:06:55,540 --> 00:07:02,780
As you can see, I have a lot of support from my staff and I've been just honored to make it this far.

94
00:07:02,780 --> 00:07:11,940
And also, Metos is very special, it's the heart beat of the community, and I really want to thank the city of Metos for all their support.

95
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:21,400
It's hard, you know, this is, this is new to me in the small city where everyone is working together, where everyone is involved.

96
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:27,660
And I've just been honored, she just served as the assistant principal at Medical Elementary

97
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:34,080
the past four years and now get to serve as the principal, starting July 1st.

98
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,940
But just a little background about me, I've been in education for 14 years.

99
00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:45,180
I started as a classroom teacher, an ESL support teacher, and then a literacy interventionist,

100
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:46,860
and then four years as an AP.

101
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:53,820
And so I'm really just excited to continue to work with the city and the school because

102
00:07:53,820 --> 00:08:01,200
it's a special place, it's just the perfect combination of community school partnership.

103
00:08:02,060 --> 00:08:03,060
And so I'm just excited.

104
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,580
Thank you for having me here tonight and I can't wait to continue a partnership with

105
00:08:08,580 --> 00:08:11,460
the city of city of middle place.

106
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,340
Thank you.

107
00:08:12,340 --> 00:08:14,040
Thank you very much,

108
00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:17,600
Cindell.

109
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:27,200
I thought, Ken, before you go sit down, I want to say I've been engaged in that school for

110
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,080
a long time, probably 30 years.

111
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:36,560
I was on, what was it, boards were campus-based leadership team, a couple of three times.

112
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,420
I taught some classes in there, I've done some other things that got me inside and I got

113
00:08:43,420 --> 00:08:49,360
know some of the teachers and the principals back then. And I was always astounded at the effort

114
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,180
that they put out in the care that they gave to my kids and two of them deserved it. The

115
00:08:55,180 --> 00:09:05,540
other one I don't know. But I do welcome you to a city of Meadows Place. This is a unique city.

116
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,620
We believe it. The county knows it. I've talked to the superintendent I was in a meeting with her

117
00:09:11,620 --> 00:09:18,520
last Thursday, she knows it and so we just want to maintain that. And of course we're sitting here

118
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:24,540
with the Parks Director coming to Bessis and she's teaming up with Madam's elementary and I think

119
00:09:24,540 --> 00:09:33,800
you all had a class yesterday. Today. And so that's so unique and that's the type of thing that

120
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:41,220
if you all come up with any ideas please don't hesitate to ask us all we can say is no the

121
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:45,620
council won't let me because other than that we probably will although I think this council

122
00:09:45,620 --> 00:09:50,820
had support just about anything you want to do and if we can do it work anyway at all to

123
00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:57,000
support our kids education let us know. And I believe Mr. Kopschensky is over there squirming

124
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:03,100
because he wants to say something nice, Kurt. Yeah, I just want to say a couple of words for

125
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:07,280
those of you who don't know Ms. Blackmer, I know most of you do. She's been the glue and

126
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,820
the duct tape and the nails and whatever else you can call it that has held this school

127
00:10:10,820 --> 00:10:17,260
together for the last few years and has done it so well with such leadership and is handled

128
00:10:17,260 --> 00:10:24,820
the stress and the crazy hours and everything and so from a parent and I know all the teachers

129
00:10:24,820 --> 00:10:31,980
feel the same way. We all wanted you to be here as principle and so it's like a not a dream

130
00:10:31,980 --> 00:10:39,340
a wish come true so we are so excited to get to be a part of this with you and like the mayor said

131
00:10:39,340 --> 00:10:44,420
whatever you need we're here we we love this community we're a lot of us are here

132
00:10:44,420 --> 00:10:49,200
because of meadows elementary and our overjoyed that you are at the helm

133
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,140
so thank you so much we're excited

134
00:10:53,140 --> 00:10:54,300
I

135
00:11:19,420 --> 00:11:28,640
think all of you should stay oh come you're just watching videos tomorrow come on

136
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,480
He just wants to take a picture of his wife.

137
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:43,000
We have to listen back here.

138
00:11:43,540 --> 00:11:44,300
The council, probably.

139
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,760
Do they need to clap, sir?

140
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,380
Wow, that's the best mayor's comment I've ever had.

141
00:12:26,260 --> 00:12:28,140
Thank y'all very much for coming.

142
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:30,640
Look,

143
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,940
next month we will post what's called the minutes on our website.

144
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,620
get your dad to help you go find those minutes because it'll it'll have your name

145
00:12:42,620 --> 00:12:43,320
minute.

146
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:56,480
I'm ready to go. That was just good as a guest. All right. Back in

147
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,860
Mayors comments if I can get it back from Kurt. Kurt, thank you for that.

148
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:03,040
That was good.

149
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,520
I had a big town hall meeting. You're going to hear some more about

150
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,840
that a little bit and I'm stepping out on the limb commenting on something that

151
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:25,940
and take a place yet, but I am assumed that we're going to set a date for a town meeting

152
00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:34,220
on an item that you will see discussed regarding potential development on the nine acres

153
00:13:34,220 --> 00:13:35,660
over here off West Airport.

154
00:13:38,090 --> 00:13:43,830
This is going to be an important meeting if and what's going to be important to that is

155
00:13:43,830 --> 00:13:45,850
We're going to need community input.

156
00:13:47,210 --> 00:13:54,430
So I'm asking Council, all the folks at home, to please, and Cameron will, I'm asking

157
00:13:54,430 --> 00:13:59,530
you to please shoot this stuff out as well, and so all the information is there in the

158
00:13:59,530 --> 00:14:00,450
timing is right.

159
00:14:01,150 --> 00:14:04,210
We don't have very many of these in city metal's place.

160
00:14:05,370 --> 00:14:09,690
I've been to some, and almost all of them have been very, very good.

161
00:14:09,690 --> 00:14:17,030
We have the ability to discuss things, discuss different sides of an issue with that being ugly.

162
00:14:17,830 --> 00:14:19,290
And I'm assuming we still can.

163
00:14:19,970 --> 00:14:28,470
We've got what this will, you know, get a chance to introduce themselves later, a folks that are part of this project.

164
00:14:29,150 --> 00:14:31,890
But I just want to let the town know.

165
00:14:31,890 --> 00:14:36,030
I want it, depending on when we set it.

166
00:14:36,110 --> 00:14:38,170
I wonder if I know that this is going to be happening.

167
00:14:38,510 --> 00:14:40,870
One of the questions it's always been asked was,

168
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:42,470
how can we never tell us?

169
00:14:43,930 --> 00:14:45,910
It's hard to get all the word out.

170
00:14:46,290 --> 00:14:49,190
And I will say David Martin's worked real hard.

171
00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:51,610
I miss you just to get the word out.

172
00:14:51,810 --> 00:14:53,890
Cameron's doing a phenomenal job.

173
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:57,050
City staff works hard to do that.

174
00:14:57,650 --> 00:14:59,870
So when you see this coming up, that's item.

175
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:13,260
Eight on here. When we talk about hearing about town meeting, please pay attention, save the data as they say, and plan to show up. That's all I have to say about that.

176
00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:20,400
Item C, municipal changes on the horizon, and I had six pages of stuff.

177
00:15:23,860 --> 00:15:28,320
Hand, chaddle, know what somewhat would have talked about in some y'all will.

178
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:37,820
The legislature is winding down.

179
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,240
They have put some things in place, and they're sure that it's going to be signed and

180
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,220
going to go forward even as late as tomorrow.

181
00:15:48,780 --> 00:15:57,520
One of which was called the Death Star Bill, who's given that title, because they're

182
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:03,080
nailing cities and taking away authority and moving things around.

183
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:05,640
Nobody knows what's happening.

184
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:11,060
And so just letting the public know when I'm putting it on the record that we don't know.

185
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,580
What we're going to be discussing on this.

186
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,300
Guarantee there will be some discussion.

187
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,940
Nick and I have already been in communication with our city attorney.

188
00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:23,660
He's talking to attorneys across the state.

189
00:16:23,660 --> 00:16:29,480
No, I quite know what to do with this stuff and how much and what will be affected.

190
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,040
We can't give you a clue because we don't know.

191
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:38,380
We do know that they're trying to figure out a way not to break the bank on all the cities,

192
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,240
especially small cities, and we'll have to kind of follow along and see what they have.

193
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:52,720
Courtney is a member of the Gulf Coast Chapter City Court Association and a guarantee

194
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:59,400
they're going to be discussing. Nick is a member of the Statewide City Administrators

195
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:06,480
Association. They'll be discussing. I'm real proud to say that myself and Councillor members

196
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,880
of the Fort Bend Mayor and Council Association,

197
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,240
and we try to get together on a regular basis

198
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:20,520
and a council lot of urge, especially next couple of them, to participate, but we participate

199
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,800
in that to try to stay ahead of what we're doing and I've never come in just totally blind

200
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:31,200
and so this is a concern when you hear people talking about it, please understand we're

201
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:47,600
We're trying to do the best with Ken, and we're charged to look after and protect health safety and welfare or citizens of city and mental space, and we're trying to do the best with Ken, despite our legislators' loss.

202
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:50,680
That's all I got to say with that.

203
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,580
Item two would be an uplifting one.

204
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:55,600
Uh-huh.

205
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:57,060
Rick?

206
00:17:59,270 --> 00:18:03,930
All right, starting out with the door and sub-date, we're on the final stretch on this

207
00:18:05,030 --> 00:18:05,670
thing.

208
00:18:05,790 --> 00:18:10,990
They're preparing the final change order, we're negotiating the liquidated damages with

209
00:18:10,990 --> 00:18:11,630
the contractor.

210
00:18:12,290 --> 00:18:21,710
Looks like he's going to be 22 days over the limit when we get set and done, and once we get

211
00:18:21,710 --> 00:18:25,950
all the final paperwork done, I think they've got all the work has been completed.

212
00:18:26,610 --> 00:18:33,070
We had the final walkthrough to verify the punchless items were done, so we're almost finished.

213
00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:45,990
Well, I think Council understands certainly these staff members up here do what a blessing it is to have Rick Stagl

214
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:55,910
It's a whole ton of money and engineering fees and project manager fees, so Rick, thank you very, very much.

215
00:18:56,590 --> 00:18:57,830
We do appreciate it.

216
00:18:58,110 --> 00:18:59,990
Anybody have any questions on don'ts?

217
00:19:00,710 --> 00:19:02,310
What did I ask you to know?

218
00:19:05,070 --> 00:19:13,470
I want to say I think it looks beautiful and I think the design laid out, what you all talked about doing, said how good it would look.

219
00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:17,570
You're right in spot on the money. Thank you very much for that

220
00:19:17,570 --> 00:19:24,990
All right moving on to being the mobility bond the bikeway project from through metasplaced and down through Stafford

221
00:19:25,850 --> 00:19:29,610
We finally got clearance from center point to do the

222
00:19:30,850 --> 00:19:33,590
Geotechnical boars the city had to cut two separate checks

223
00:19:34,770 --> 00:19:37,010
Get that paid off

224
00:19:37,550 --> 00:19:41,330
And I don't know if the work's actually been done yet or just scheduled

225
00:19:42,130 --> 00:19:55,130
But soon we should have the boars and then that'll let us to try to get to the design finished off, especially the bridge over the bayou, going to the back and back side of the Discovery Center.

226
00:19:55,770 --> 00:20:02,170
The parking lot designs probably don't, it's they don't want to do too much on the bridge until they've got that tech work.

227
00:20:02,810 --> 00:20:04,410
We start on the parking lot.

228
00:20:04,930 --> 00:20:11,070
Now, that's going to probably come into play with discussions on the 20-inch gas pipeline.

229
00:20:12,570 --> 00:20:18,410
We'll need to finalize our decision on if we're just going to build part of the parking lot.

230
00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:23,370
And that way, we're not in the way of that pipeline type thing,

231
00:20:24,030 --> 00:20:27,890
because we don't want to tear up our brand new parking lot.

232
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:28,650
No, no.

233
00:20:30,090 --> 00:20:30,910
Chief, I'm trying.

234
00:20:32,130 --> 00:20:32,710
Any questions?

235
00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:38,490
You've answered my, anybody else?

236
00:20:38,970 --> 00:20:43,350
Rick, thank you so much, and again, I appreciate your

237
00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:46,910
kindness of volunteer project manager.

238
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:50,430
I'm moving on to item D reports.

239
00:20:51,870 --> 00:20:52,490
First report.

240
00:20:52,990 --> 00:20:54,870
We'd be coming to you from the police department.

241
00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:58,550
Chief hearing Stewart will be given assistance.

242
00:20:59,090 --> 00:21:00,310
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

243
00:21:00,310 --> 00:21:07,070
This will be an amazing report, as always I start out with a number of accidents that have occurred.

244
00:21:07,910 --> 00:21:17,890
We had 9 accidents, 10 arrests, 2,356 calls for service, 53 report calls on citations.

245
00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:20,790
We had 326 with 311 charges.

246
00:21:21,730 --> 00:21:29,670
City orders violations to warnings for traffic 132 with 196 violations.

247
00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:34,930
City orders warnings out together you can see down there is 6.

248
00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:38,350
We had a total activity count of 2,931.

249
00:21:39,490 --> 00:21:41,330
We had zero solstice this month.

250
00:21:41,650 --> 00:21:43,270
We had one burglar motor vehicle.

251
00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:47,190
So you're a barrier of business or residents.

252
00:21:48,210 --> 00:21:51,190
It's six of the city units, two criminal mischief.

253
00:21:52,130 --> 00:21:54,870
One fraud, zero and robberies this month.

254
00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:59,250
Total patrols for property checks, businesses close patrol

255
00:21:59,250 --> 00:22:07,090
house watch, 1600-1, theft, seven, zero-u-u-undies this month.

256
00:22:07,690 --> 00:22:09,770
TLC program for checking cars.

257
00:22:09,770 --> 00:22:14,250
We had 37 pass, 9 fail, for a total 46 contacts.

258
00:22:16,030 --> 00:22:18,790
During the reporting period at the bottom, you can see the city on this breakdown.

259
00:22:20,450 --> 00:22:22,970
We have one for noise complaint, three for low-stog.

260
00:22:24,970 --> 00:22:29,750
You can read the notes as far as the low-stogs are, but one for loud music, which was

261
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:35,310
warning was issued, resident complied, two for solicitors, and they can read those.

262
00:22:35,310 --> 00:22:39,530
zero accidents and then around about this month. Again,

263
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,800
flipping through our pages would

264
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,740
keep the notes for each of those calls. If you're interested, if you have any specific

265
00:22:47,740 --> 00:22:53,720
questions, you're always free to reach out to me. Those are the general notes as normal. And if we

266
00:22:53,720 --> 00:23:05,500
can flip to our page 4, we're going to break down of our flux safety cameras. We had 50 actions

267
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:12,040
that were responded to or were notified of, which is down 10 for the last month and I'm

268
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:17,720
going to go into the fact that we replaced two cameras that were brand new and they had to come

269
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,020
back out and replace those again. So you'll probably see that number up a little bit higher next

270
00:23:22,020 --> 00:23:30,360
month, but we had 10 stolen vehicle alerts, 13 for sex offender, 8 stolen plates, 10 for gang

271
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:36,080
member suspected terrorist, zero for missing person or warrants, eight for protective orders

272
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,600
and one other agency hot list.

273
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:45,660
The arrest for last month, we had zero for juvenile, 10 for adult, the breakdown, warrants

274
00:23:45,660 --> 00:23:51,040
other jurisdiction were seven, one DWI, and then we had multiple charges on arrest as you

275
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:51,720
can see below that.

276
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,400
We have one for PCS, possession control substance and warrants and another one for possession

277
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,280
controlled substance and unauthorized care and of a weapon.

278
00:24:01,870 --> 00:24:04,690
Moving forward to my notes

279
00:24:04,690 --> 00:24:08,070
which would be on the last page, AJ.

280
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:13,400
We're continuing, of course, for our training, we're

281
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:19,760
entering our ending, our current cycle. So our guys have just completed CPR, AED, and North

282
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:25,120
can training classes, re-certified taser, mental health training, and the area that agencies

283
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:29,680
begin in July and T. Cole required mandates on legislative updates

284
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:35,340
continue as we move through the next few next couple months. Everything should be

285
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:41,180
completed by July 31. Chiefs training, I just completed that. We're on to your

286
00:24:41,180 --> 00:24:46,420
cycle. I was there in San Marks with 120 other chiefs and attendance. And so

287
00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:51,120
it was a very diverse group of large and small agencies.

288
00:24:52,660 --> 00:24:57,740
Flock, again, I just mentioned that about the increase in hits 30s cameras and we see what

289
00:24:57,740 --> 00:25:00,780
they're going to be doing with the new ones and making sure we can check and make sure

290
00:25:00,780 --> 00:25:03,280
that we're seeing that difference.

291
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:09,400
We're actively looking to fill two more full-time positions in the troll and one part-time

292
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,780
position with the department, so we have hired some people.

293
00:25:13,460 --> 00:25:18,020
We do have one that's probably going to potentially fill that position as in the academy now and

294
00:25:18,020 --> 00:25:21,720
We've already done the background and she's already been through our review boards, so this

295
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,920
should be a quick transition into training if she accepts the job offer.

296
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,240
I was reporting who was just hired as completed our FTO program and it was least a full

297
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:32,660
duty.

298
00:25:33,860 --> 00:25:37,260
We did hire another part-time dispatcher, Cassandra Jackson.

299
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,800
She was hired from Shribuland and is completing her training this week.

300
00:25:41,780 --> 00:25:47,360
I also hired in a accreditation manager, Ed Alvarado, who started today, and he's taken

301
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:54,780
over our TPCAA accreditation program for which we're still in the process for Chief.

302
00:25:55,180 --> 00:25:55,620
Yes, sir.

303
00:25:55,620 --> 00:26:00,320
For those that forgot, could you tell us what all those acronyms are?

304
00:26:00,540 --> 00:26:00,600
Okay.

305
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,720
TPCAA texts, texts, police chiefs association.

306
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:12,080
This is what we're going through is the accreditation program, which is the best practices for agencies

307
00:26:13,020 --> 00:26:17,740
and we'll be rebuilding our policies and procedures on how we do things to match those

308
00:26:17,740 --> 00:26:22,980
best practices and then the end will present to the TPCA conference and if we're confirmed

309
00:26:22,980 --> 00:26:30,100
then we'll be accredited agency and there's a lot of cloud that goes with that so there's like

310
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:36,080
2,200 agencies and I think a 139 have the accreditation so we'll be one of the one of the few.

311
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,560
It will be mandated.

312
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:43,580
Let me answer from, sorry, I know you hate it when I do this, but I've, you heard

313
00:26:43,580 --> 00:26:44,400
those numbers,

314
00:26:46,860 --> 00:26:51,600
and you heard what it's taken, and for you to have gotten us to this

315
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:58,490
point, you and Captain Nation and the others to get us to this point is commendable.

316
00:26:59,450 --> 00:27:05,250
But now you've got a way to target out and finish this up and get us to the end line.

317
00:27:05,250 --> 00:27:08,830
and I know with your drive, your determination,

318
00:27:10,110 --> 00:27:13,370
you're going to get City of Meadows Place Police Department to that point.

319
00:27:13,670 --> 00:27:15,190
And I encourage you to do so.

320
00:27:15,690 --> 00:27:18,190
I think I can speak for council when I say,

321
00:27:18,410 --> 00:27:22,350
where my IG and support you 100% and thank you.

322
00:27:22,910 --> 00:27:24,810
So, appreciate it. That's what I got to get to work.

323
00:27:25,150 --> 00:27:26,550
Thank you.

324
00:27:27,570 --> 00:27:28,450
With the accreditation,

325
00:27:28,750 --> 00:27:30,590
we are moving through the process,

326
00:27:30,750 --> 00:27:31,850
where we'll be actually filing,

327
00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:33,410
but for the end of the year.

328
00:27:33,410 --> 00:27:37,550
and so next year hopefully it will be the go through the accreditation process.

329
00:27:39,230 --> 00:27:46,350
Moving forward, Mesa door access system. We have a few issues if you've noticed and we're

330
00:27:46,350 --> 00:27:53,510
working through those. They did replace some internal components of the automatic push bars outside

331
00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:58,430
and the hardware is in place and it was replaced yesterday but the door operation programming

332
00:27:58,430 --> 00:28:03,990
continues to be an issue and they're expecting to be everything to be completed by this Friday

333
00:28:03,990 --> 00:28:08,990
and we're trying to hold their feet to the fire, trust me.

334
00:28:09,810 --> 00:28:15,490
Police Department continues to prepare for the active spring and summer with the Friday's

335
00:28:15,490 --> 00:28:15,890
concert.

336
00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:18,510
The last one coming up in the park in the pool opening.

337
00:28:19,370 --> 00:28:20,290
So we'll be prepared for that.

338
00:28:21,210 --> 00:28:27,430
IAAP is complete and I signed off on the IAAP today and I would like to thank Parks for

339
00:28:27,430 --> 00:28:31,570
getting everything that they needed to do in their portion of that IAP force to make sure we could

340
00:28:31,570 --> 00:28:34,090
finalize it.

341
00:28:35,390 --> 00:28:38,210
In an IAP, if you don't know, it's an action plan.

342
00:28:38,370 --> 00:28:41,170
I know, I forget the acronyms I do it all the time.

343
00:28:43,790 --> 00:28:48,530
The other, the last thing on the notes list is I always give you all the grants status

344
00:28:48,530 --> 00:28:52,870
and you can see nothing's changing what they just dropped off as the shields, which we have already

345
00:28:54,430 --> 00:29:00,290
reconciled and we've got everything over to finance and I believe we should be able to start

346
00:29:00,290 --> 00:29:06,030
drawn down on that and with that I'll take any questions from Mayor Council.

347
00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:13,610
The only question I had, you were with 120 other chiefs, what's the general feeling now

348
00:29:13,610 --> 00:29:21,090
about law enforcement working with community and recruiting and just overall policing and

349
00:29:21,090 --> 00:29:24,150
Texas, obviously there's a lot of, a lot of hands there.

350
00:29:24,850 --> 00:29:30,550
Right. Every agency is experiencing the same level of frustration that we are with finding

351
00:29:30,550 --> 00:29:35,870
qualified candidates, is what I've learned and I think I've shared with the mayor is the

352
00:29:35,870 --> 00:29:40,450
new strategy is that we're not being able to pull in new recruits or get it people interested

353
00:29:40,450 --> 00:29:47,190
in this form of work anymore. But the new, for us from all these places, it's still yours.

354
00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:51,810
you know, so they try to entice them over there with the lateral transfers.

355
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:54,330
But we're in the same boat.

356
00:29:54,490 --> 00:29:58,270
As far as the community involvement, they're different on different levels of different places

357
00:29:58,270 --> 00:29:59,910
I've spoke to you some of the larger.

358
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,600
Here are a metropolitan areas. We still have the us against them problems, and we, of course, don't. And a lot of the smaller areas don't seem to have that. We have the more community oriented policing program and model and place anyway. So, yeah, you see in the same issues, employee retention, attrition, and then, of course, trying to obtain those spots that they need and that's getting tough.

359
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:35,200
One agency, I'll just give you a hint, it's going to be down to 130 officers by the end of this year.

360
00:30:40,130 --> 00:30:42,950
Good question, David, and I thank you very much for asking it.

361
00:30:43,590 --> 00:30:49,410
I get into those conversations over coffee and morning, I forget we don't have this public.

362
00:30:50,510 --> 00:31:02,620
And I do get some details in there that tell the stress levels and what some of the tactics he's taking to be able to overcome that.

363
00:31:02,620 --> 00:31:06,380
And I think if you look around, you're doing an outstanding job,

364
00:31:06,540 --> 00:31:07,260
so you're not thinking.

365
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,120
Anybody else have anything for a chief?

366
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,100
No, why don't you got off easy?

367
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,400
Thank you.

368
00:31:13,660 --> 00:31:14,500
Thank you, Mayor and Council.

369
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:15,300
I appreciate it.

370
00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:16,960
Appreciate it.

371
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,000
System chief action, assistant,

372
00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:23,790
whatever, Jack.

373
00:31:24,250 --> 00:31:27,530
Thank you very, very much for your help

374
00:31:27,530 --> 00:31:31,430
on the automotive reports.

375
00:31:31,910 --> 00:31:33,070
They help me a lot.

376
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:42,460
And now we're moving on to, I have to pay attention to this.

377
00:31:43,060 --> 00:31:47,080
There's a couple things I might want to ask you a question to know.

378
00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:48,800
Ready?

379
00:31:49,340 --> 00:31:49,580
Part.

380
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,300
Thank you, the way.

381
00:31:50,540 --> 00:31:50,980
I'm ready.

382
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:51,780
Good evening, Mayor.

383
00:31:52,140 --> 00:31:52,580
And Council.

384
00:31:53,140 --> 00:31:58,040
This report will serve the recreation activities from March through this May.

385
00:31:59,540 --> 00:32:03,180
One of our big items, we were down with our staffing,

386
00:32:03,180 --> 00:32:09,640
our recreation coordinator position was open back in March. We have since filled that with

387
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,840
Carolyn Whitlow and she comes to us with a background, a very strong background in camp and

388
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:21,280
sports ministry. So we're very excited about her. She is going to be opening up our summer camp next

389
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:28,600
week so we're looking forward to see what she can do. We've also hired 32 seasonal staff that

390
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,160
includes our lifeguards, our nature center attendants,

391
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,280
our front desk pool attendants, and our camp counselors.

392
00:32:36,340 --> 00:32:39,260
So we have been busy training, Courtney,

393
00:32:39,380 --> 00:32:41,760
and her office has been helping us out, getting all

394
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,640
the paperwork, and background checks,

395
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,080
and drug test done, to make all this happen.

396
00:32:48,620 --> 00:32:51,120
So in event recap, back in March,

397
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,060
we had a little thing called a family camp out in the park.

398
00:32:54,060 --> 00:32:58,340
We had approximately 70 residents in attendance,

399
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,300
14 of the total of 17 families that attended,

400
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,780
spent the night in tents.

401
00:33:05,980 --> 00:33:07,300
So we were really happy about that.

402
00:33:07,380 --> 00:33:11,320
The weather was coordinated or cooperated.

403
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,100
Thank you.

404
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,360
Cooperated with us.

405
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,520
This past year we added archery,

406
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,800
mapping, not tying to the activities,

407
00:33:20,420 --> 00:33:22,100
but still the kayaking,

408
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:28,260
more than temp camping were the overall favorites. And Kurt, I think your daughter's eight

409
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:29,680
a lot more than I.

410
00:33:32,260 --> 00:33:35,880
Also, we just wrapped up our concerts in the park. We've hosted three

411
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:41,160
of those concerts. And again, thanks to PD for being out there, not only for the concerts,

412
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:46,480
but I fell to mention they were also there with us throughout the camp out. They stay all night

413
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,780
with our group keeping us safe, so we really appreciate the support that they give us.

414
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:57,200
Our concerts in the park, we doubled the number of food trucks at each event this year.

415
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,600
The city had also purchased a stage, again, to raise the standard of what we're presenting.

416
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,440
So our bands were now on a stage and not just on pavement.

417
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:14,140
And the quality of bands this year really have exceeded any of the bands that we have brought in from the past.

418
00:34:14,140 --> 00:34:20,920
We partnered with our local business fab smiles, pediatric dentistry, and then also cobbo

419
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:26,300
bobs, and both of them provided door prizes to give away during intermission.

420
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:34,440
Unfortunately, attendance was a little unexpectedly light, especially on the first two of

421
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:40,520
the three, there were a lot of weather threats, and that second one it just came down, and

422
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:48,480
had to close out early. So the attendance was a little bit lighter. This Friday will be our last concert,

423
00:34:49,140 --> 00:34:54,740
which is also kick off December. So Council will be talking to you in just a moment about that.

424
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:01,700
Our projects that we completed, we installed 11 solar light poles and two of our pocket parks. That's

425
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:08,660
brightened and metoblin. And this helps with the overall safety in those areas. I spoke with

426
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:14,920
Chief about that and asked for some recommendations where he thought we might should place those

427
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:21,180
solar lights and we both decided that the pocket parts would be a good fit for that. Funding for

428
00:35:21,180 --> 00:35:27,240
those lights and we already had some in-house but the additional ones came from the child's safety fund

429
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:35,460
as well as EDC. We began installation of the new playground equipment at Meta Valley Park. This will

430
00:35:35,460 --> 00:35:41,920
include a tree hugger seating, four ride-ons, a climbing feature, and a three-base swing set.

431
00:35:42,660 --> 00:35:48,260
We are also in the process of installing a nice black aluminum fence all the way around the

432
00:35:48,260 --> 00:35:57,220
property and also the additional solar light poles, and this should be completed by next Friday at the

433
00:35:57,220 --> 00:36:00,140
We're behind a little bit with weather issues,

434
00:36:00,540 --> 00:36:03,780
but they've got, I'd say, probably more than half

435
00:36:03,780 --> 00:36:05,660
of it done as of today.

436
00:36:06,060 --> 00:36:09,220
The funding for that project also came out of EDC.

437
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,360
We completed new landscaping at each of the four

438
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,720
monument entry signs into the city.

439
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:17,840
That's the big entry signs.

440
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,240
That's the large entry signs, the two on West Airport

441
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:23,280
and the two on Kirkwood.

442
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,280
and it's created a more modern clean look.

443
00:36:27,820 --> 00:36:29,540
The one at 59 in West Airport,

444
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,800
we still play on putting in three very large mature

445
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,480
crate murdles behind the sign and the flagpole area

446
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,740
to further enhance that,

447
00:36:39,740 --> 00:36:42,720
but we'll be doing that next budget year.

448
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:46,840
We also installed the floating dock on Meadows Lake,

449
00:36:47,260 --> 00:36:49,200
and that funding was provided by the county.

450
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,920
We redesigned the landscaping

451
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:57,720
the Kirkwood roundabouts. I hope all y'all notice that. I see some smiles and head nods.

452
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:04,900
This made it more manageable and provided a cleaner line of sight that funding was provided through EDC.

453
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:11,260
We installed new permanent interactive displays at the Nature Center to include a general store,

454
00:37:11,380 --> 00:37:17,980
a blacksmith shop and an early Texas pioneer village. We provided first aid training and orientation

455
00:37:17,980 --> 00:37:25,220
for 18 summer camp in Nature Center staff and then the life guards were also trained in their

456
00:37:25,220 --> 00:37:32,100
life guard training and also AD and first aid. We also completed phase one of the tennis court

457
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:38,900
upgrades. Phase one was the installation of the LED lights. That funding was provided through the

458
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:46,320
county. So there are three phases to that project. So these are listed now under upcoming projects.

459
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:55,540
We had hoped that once we closed the tennis court for that, the light installation that the project would continue and be completed by June 1st.

460
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:06,540
However, the company that we are in contract with, they had a family emergency, put them behind their further other projects were also behind.

461
00:38:06,540 --> 00:38:18,180
So, we are in line behind that, we are hopeful that July is the date right now is when they're going to come back and start doing the second phase.

462
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:33,920
Actually, the second phase will include the cutting out and the rapport of the back half of that tennis court where we have severe cracks beyond what a tennis company would do for us.

463
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,260
They do smaller line cracks, they paint, they texture, they stripe.

464
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:44,600
So phase two will be that part of it, phase three, this other company will come in.

465
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,060
And not only will they be painting, I'm striping, they're also going to be installing permanent

466
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,120
pickleball.

467
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:53,320
What do you think?

468
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:56,280
It's basically to hold the nets for the pickleballs.

469
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,320
Kurt, I know you're very happy.

470
00:39:00,140 --> 00:39:03,000
And the county is also funded that project.

471
00:39:06,770 --> 00:39:15,750
Okay. Another upcoming project is well-to-lance gaping. The installation is scheduled for June

472
00:39:15,750 --> 00:39:21,190
and it will include hedges initially and then crate hurdles in the new budget year. And

473
00:39:21,190 --> 00:39:26,710
y'all know where I'm talking about on well-to. And then the next project is we will be installing

474
00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:33,570
three additional educational trail signs and they'll be installed along the McGrath walking path.

475
00:39:33,570 --> 00:39:36,650
And these are audio sensory signs.

476
00:39:37,510 --> 00:39:39,450
So kids will be able to interact with them

477
00:39:39,450 --> 00:39:42,010
and hear the sounds of water, different animals,

478
00:39:42,410 --> 00:39:44,930
forest sounds, and those will go in

479
00:39:44,930 --> 00:39:45,910
during the month of July.

480
00:39:47,330 --> 00:39:49,870
Our upcoming events, as I mentioned earlier,

481
00:39:50,030 --> 00:39:50,930
is kick off December.

482
00:39:51,070 --> 00:39:52,470
That is this Friday.

483
00:39:52,910 --> 00:39:55,950
This is the one that we feed the community

484
00:39:55,950 --> 00:39:59,770
and council comes out and cooks and serves.

485
00:40:00,830 --> 00:40:06,830
So I need cookers to be there at 4 p.m. and servers there at 5.30.

486
00:40:07,630 --> 00:40:12,030
Do we know who would like to be a cooker this year? Raise your hand.

487
00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:13,690
That's this Friday.

488
00:40:14,810 --> 00:40:21,030
All right, perfect. And then that transitions into serving. My staff will be there as well.

489
00:40:21,330 --> 00:40:25,690
I know David, you had requested last year we get a fan over there on you guys, so we already have that

490
00:40:25,690 --> 00:40:26,910
taken care of.

491
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,420
We don't have on that size.

492
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:38,270
Okay.

493
00:40:40,460 --> 00:40:43,240
I think I'll be 430. That's okay. You'll

494
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:46,400
be there 430? Yeah, perfect. Okay.

495
00:40:48,500 --> 00:40:52,240
All right. So this this Friday night, the kick off

496
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:58,020
to summer. As it was last year, we're meeting in front of the field house. That's where we'll

497
00:40:58,020 --> 00:41:05,120
serving. We have a live band that's coming in, Ryan Ross Band, Hill Perform. We are feeding

498
00:41:05,780 --> 00:41:12,520
first come first serve up to 400 Hamburg's hot dogs. And then the pool will also be open from

499
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:19,880
6 to 8. Just normal pool activities and the life guards will be passing out popsicles to the kids over there.

500
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:42,760
The pool opens, so this Friday night from 6 to 8, so it is free, you don't have to have your pool passes pool bands this Friday, but Saturday you will, we will be selling them at the pool on Friday night, they're also available to purchase online, and then we will be selling them every time that the pool is open thereafter.

501
00:41:43,780 --> 00:41:51,260
Summer camp begins next week, May 30th, which is Tuesday the day after the holiday.

502
00:41:52,180 --> 00:41:58,980
We are at 80% right now in almost all of our camps, which is very exciting.

503
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:06,460
So we are actually closing the first week down tomorrow, and it will only be through our

504
00:42:06,460 --> 00:42:10,940
front office registration so that we can control the numbers and make sure they don't go over.

505
00:42:11,820 --> 00:42:32,640
Barefoot and Friday is coming up, June 16th and July 21st, and then our final big event that we have for the summer is our July 4th festival, actually on July 4th, and it too will be like last year, light ban, food trucks, water inflate, spirit boosts, and in the night off with fireworks.

506
00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:39,960
Well, sounds like you've got a pretty easy summer so far.

507
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,240
Yes sir, that's what we strive for easy.

508
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,080
You're at about 80% on your campus.

509
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:47,180
Did I hear that right?

510
00:42:47,340 --> 00:42:48,500
Yes sir.

511
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,760
I commend you for putting that program in.

512
00:42:56,380 --> 00:43:01,480
I had my doubts, but then again I didn't have little kids at that.

513
00:43:02,340 --> 00:43:02,820
It's wonderful.

514
00:43:02,820 --> 00:43:09,100
So I want to also commend you for putting in that little grocery store and all those

515
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:11,220
amenities out there in the nature center.

516
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,880
I've gone by a couple of times and then I've taken my green kids and they are very

517
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,560
essay just in three to nine and they love that thing that living.

518
00:43:21,740 --> 00:43:22,320
It was great.

519
00:43:22,940 --> 00:43:26,060
So there's been very well received from my perspective.

520
00:43:27,300 --> 00:43:30,300
I'm assuming that you're getting some feedback on it.

521
00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:41,740
Is it it's a big feature because it requires no interaction from parents. The kids can just go out there. It's it's free play imaginative play.

522
00:43:42,380 --> 00:43:51,360
You know, they go to the little blacksmith shop do their thing they ride a horse and get groceries at the store go to the cowboy village cook them up.

523
00:43:51,420 --> 00:43:59,940
So they have a lot of fun. You can you can see their little imaginations are just going so we've we've had a lot more activity a lot more traffic coming through.

524
00:43:59,940 --> 00:44:03,920
and they stay there longer because it engages in longer.

525
00:44:04,780 --> 00:44:07,280
Anybody got any questions or comments for?

526
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,860
I had one question on Waterwell 2, was there irrigation there?

527
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,060
There is, yes sir.

528
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:34,400
You're welcome.

529
00:44:35,060 --> 00:44:35,480
Thank you, David.

530
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:37,620
Yes, something we forget about.

531
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:40,040
And yet that's part of it.

532
00:44:41,300 --> 00:44:43,800
Some of us are pretty well-tuned in.

533
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,060
But that we move on to the next report.

534
00:44:49,780 --> 00:44:53,640
It's the one everybody wakes on, started from the board.

535
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:55,580
That's it everyone.

536
00:44:58,100 --> 00:44:59,900
I make live because...

537
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,440
And those that don't know it's because I give it.

538
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:10,520
We'll have to say in addition to the city of Stafford and Fire Department, sending me over report.

539
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:16,240
We had a total number of 48 incidents between here in the last reporting period.

540
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,120
Most of them were medical assistants, EMS crew.

541
00:45:21,940 --> 00:45:22,460
However,

542
00:45:25,180 --> 00:45:32,760
we have had some fires, and I learned a little something in a meeting last Wednesday

543
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:42,720
morning. Chief De Camillo came and gave a report to a group that I belonged to. And those

544
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:47,020
are some people that's pretty good questions, and he was able to answer them all. One

545
00:45:47,020 --> 00:45:53,740
things that came up was the amount of trauma cases that they end up responding to, because of

546
00:45:53,740 --> 00:46:00,760
the 59, that little bit of sex in the 59, that comes through here. It takes up time from

547
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:06,980
our police, staff and police, and four men in Harris County, EMS, right through this area,

548
00:46:07,620 --> 00:46:16,380
and how much that stepped up. They ended up making about 5,000 calls a year.

549
00:46:17,020 --> 00:46:20,340
which puts him as one of the busiest regions in the area.

550
00:46:20,540 --> 00:46:27,620
I was surprised at that, there have got split cities, they got Harris County, Houston,

551
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,200
Fort Bend County,

552
00:46:31,340 --> 00:46:36,060
they border with Missouri City, Sugarland, and are in metal's place,

553
00:46:36,180 --> 00:46:37,400
and it's really difficult.

554
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:45,900
One of the things that he did talk about chief was that they don't have to worry about

555
00:46:46,580 --> 00:46:57,920
Police presence or police cooperation with their departments and when they're having to interact with departments that we just apparently work well together out on the saints.

556
00:46:59,260 --> 00:47:14,020
And I was given a little bit of dose on that on Saturday. This is all part of my report, by the way. On Saturday there was a, but I thought it was pretty significant car fire right there by you horse.

557
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:17,220
And so,

558
00:47:19,250 --> 00:47:30,110
stopped in and looked and didn't get out and bother any of your officers, but they were all been very professional keeping area safe and clear, both for the fire department and the public.

559
00:47:31,670 --> 00:47:37,150
And when I talked to Chief Deakin Miller about it, I said, what was going on? I was all excited.

560
00:47:39,210 --> 00:47:40,930
Kind of like talking with Rick about budget.

561
00:47:40,930 --> 00:47:45,200
But it's just a standard car for her.

562
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,460
Well, flames were going up and it was stuck over there right by the side of the building.

563
00:47:50,020 --> 00:47:53,660
I'm thinking, oh my gosh, there's any danger, so now we got it all we had it.

564
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,140
And yet our PD was involved in that as well, so I was pretty tickled with that.

565
00:48:00,100 --> 00:48:03,380
But the fire report is more than just the numbers on the sheet.

566
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:08,120
It's these guys that live here, work here, look after us.

567
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:15,920
And we are very fortunate to have that type of fire coverage here in the city of Meadows Place.

568
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,600
And more importantly, I think, is a cooperation between the departments.

569
00:48:22,060 --> 00:48:25,020
Seeing as hell, they're not even in the same city.

570
00:48:25,620 --> 00:48:26,560
And they work well together.

571
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,240
So thank you for that chief.

572
00:48:28,620 --> 00:48:30,040
That concludes the fire report.

573
00:48:31,780 --> 00:48:38,600
There we have one really big one I know is on the other end is City Administrative Board.

574
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,220
Two quick items mayer.

575
00:48:42,260 --> 00:48:46,140
First of all, as reported at our last meeting, we did go ahead and transition.

576
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,400
Our health insurance inspection health insurance.

577
00:48:50,620 --> 00:48:57,020
Health inspections for the city on the 15th.

578
00:48:57,020 --> 00:49:02,960
We do have word that they have hit the ground running and are doing a very thorough job here in town.

579
00:49:03,420 --> 00:49:07,020
So we want to thank the county for once against step and open and helping us with these.

580
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:14,960
They're taking over and in fact are starting over with these misses connecting their own inspections as of now.

581
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:21,060
And so any previous inspections that may have occurred they're doing their own separate and apart from that.

582
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:24,260
So we're glad that that's begun and it's begun.

583
00:49:25,980 --> 00:49:28,400
apparently very quickly and vigorously and so.

584
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:35,220
The other item we did last week go ahead and do our cybersecurity training here as a staff.

585
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:40,720
It was a good training that was put on by our IT contractor, Steven Wright,

586
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,500
and we did have staff there.

587
00:49:43,540 --> 00:49:49,360
We did have one council member there, and so we do need to have another evening session that we want

588
00:49:49,900 --> 00:49:55,760
to offer up to you guys as well and so as soon as we talk with Stephen about doing that we'll

589
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:00,700
get that day to you. I think everybody on staff got something good out of that training.

590
00:50:02,180 --> 00:50:07,340
If nothing else, it just teaches you the dangers of operating on the internet.

591
00:50:09,740 --> 00:50:11,500
So with that mayor, like who's mayor of Port?

592
00:50:11,700 --> 00:50:12,360
Long ago.

593
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,140
Thank you very much, Nick.

594
00:50:18,970 --> 00:50:21,290
That's a whole lot of information time and effort

595
00:50:21,290 --> 00:50:25,790
Drumbed into the very court brief report, thank you.

596
00:50:25,790 --> 00:50:28,430
Okay, now we're moving on to the reason we're here, and that's to take here

597
00:50:28,430 --> 00:50:31,610
a city business with the regular agenda.

598
00:50:32,930 --> 00:50:36,530
This is, I have number one discussion and consideration of ordinance.

599
00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:42,090
Number two, zero, two, three days, one, three, electing a mayor-proteem,

600
00:50:43,370 --> 00:50:48,610
which some years back, Council put on a rotating basis, and if I'm correct,

601
00:50:49,150 --> 00:50:57,550
It would be T as turn. However, I don't get a vote. So, Council, you all discuss much

602
00:50:57,550 --> 00:50:58,810
time to make a recommendation.

603
00:51:01,030 --> 00:51:04,310
I'll make a motion that I make to you the next mayor

604
00:51:04,310 --> 00:51:12,070
program. Second. You got a motion by David. Second by Kurt. Any further discussion on the,

605
00:51:16,330 --> 00:51:20,470
I am planning a trip to be back for the next meeting. So, I'm done.

606
00:51:23,430 --> 00:51:24,690
Okay, so we have a motion

607
00:51:24,690 --> 00:51:32,670
second on the favor. I'm any opposed. That motion carries unanimously. Congratulations

608
00:51:32,670 --> 00:51:38,250
in BITP. Yeah, let's give her a big round of applause.

609
00:51:43,730 --> 00:51:45,270
Tea of Baker is one of those people

610
00:51:45,270 --> 00:51:49,810
works behind the scenes in the ways that I was just amazed and tell I've gotten to work

611
00:51:49,810 --> 00:51:54,470
with her. And just tickles me that you'll be able to stand up and say Mayor Pro Tim

612
00:51:54,470 --> 00:52:00,530
City of Meta's place and we'll do it and we'll carry so much weight with so many people in the county.

613
00:52:01,130 --> 00:52:04,310
Do you know how much letter had we have to change now? This is going to be.

614
00:52:06,350 --> 00:52:12,450
Okay, I don't care. Just scrunching out, putting tea everybody knows better.

615
00:52:13,010 --> 00:52:18,590
I had a number two, discussion consideration of resolution.

616
00:52:18,590 --> 00:52:28,690
The 23 day zero, nine ratifying submission of the grant application for the bullet shield

617
00:52:28,690 --> 00:52:34,570
acquisition to the officer of the governor and grant number 46755.

618
00:52:34,850 --> 00:52:43,840
01, basically is this saying I can sign it, motion by Rick, second by Kurt, and he's

619
00:52:44,740 --> 00:52:51,860
All in favor? Any opposed? Like a sign now. Thank you very much. Motion carries

620
00:52:51,860 --> 00:52:52,860
a man in this recording.

621
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:57,600
I don't have three discussions to consider as the

622
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:08,200
order of this 2023-014 or 2023-14, amending the utility fund interest. That's the utility

623
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:16,520
fund interest revenue budget for fiscal year October 2020 to ending on September 30, 2023.

624
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:26,060
Increasing line item 30, 0, 0, 4, 8, 1, 0, 0, 0, you tell the interest by $98,000 did

625
00:53:26,060 --> 00:53:35,140
increased interest received, not to bring it to a total of 100, okay. So folks who got the money

626
00:53:35,140 --> 00:53:40,440
there and we need to put it, we'll have it said, I have a motion to increase that.

627
00:53:40,580 --> 00:53:45,840
I'll tell you the motion by Kirk. Second. Second by Mayor Pro Jim, any further discussion?

628
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,880
All in favor? Aye. Motion carries unanimously.

629
00:53:54,970 --> 00:54:00,610
And number four is the discussion at Syracche Warden's 2023-15,

630
00:54:01,430 --> 00:54:05,110
amending the general interest fund revenue budget for the fiscal year,

631
00:54:05,650 --> 00:54:09,550
beginning October 1, 2022, and ending September 30, 2023,

632
00:54:10,350 --> 00:54:15,310
increasing line item 1-00-4810 there,

633
00:54:16,010 --> 00:54:24,590
city interest by 200,000 to the due to increased interest.

634
00:54:24,590 --> 00:54:29,490
So we got the same motion by Rick.

635
00:54:30,030 --> 00:54:30,050
Second.

636
00:54:30,250 --> 00:54:30,570
Second.

637
00:54:30,570 --> 00:54:30,630
Second.

638
00:54:30,890 --> 00:54:30,910
Second.

639
00:54:30,910 --> 00:54:31,270
Second.

640
00:54:31,870 --> 00:54:31,990
Second.

641
00:54:31,990 --> 00:54:32,410
Second.

642
00:54:32,670 --> 00:54:34,450
The question is here.

643
00:54:35,350 --> 00:54:35,890
All in favor.

644
00:54:36,810 --> 00:54:36,910
High.

645
00:54:37,370 --> 00:54:38,010
And the code.

646
00:54:39,050 --> 00:54:40,390
Motion carries unanimously.

647
00:54:40,650 --> 00:54:43,270
That goes into the general fund the other in the utility.

648
00:54:45,030 --> 00:54:46,370
Item number five.

649
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:54,660
You have to amend the right one.

650
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:56,800
Consideration.

651
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:57,320
Discussion.

652
00:54:57,580 --> 00:54:58,620
Consideration of ordinance.

653
00:54:58,620 --> 00:55:05,660
This is $123-1-6, a meeting in the general fund budget for the fiscal year, beginning

654
00:55:05,660 --> 00:55:13,520
October 1222, an ending September 30, 2023 in the amount of $45,000 from the general

655
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,540
fund balance to line item.

656
00:55:15,860 --> 00:55:24,340
10-0-0-0-4-0-0-0-5-0-0, public works vehicle purchase for the purchase of a public

657
00:55:24,340 --> 00:55:25,400
It works vehicle.

658
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:30,000
We would have some of that interest money over to that line item.

659
00:55:30,220 --> 00:55:31,540
I want to do a proof.

660
00:55:31,820 --> 00:55:33,220
Motion by Rick.

661
00:55:33,220 --> 00:55:34,340
Second by Kurt.

662
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:35,600
Any discussion on this?

663
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,280
It's just an addition to fleet or retire in the old vehicle.

664
00:55:41,860 --> 00:55:42,320
I have a question.

665
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:47,680
So when we retire them, are we able to recoup any money from selling them?

666
00:55:47,780 --> 00:55:48,740
I mean, I did read that we are.

667
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,120
I'm probably not from that vehicle.

668
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:51,440
That's how it was reading.

669
00:55:52,060 --> 00:55:54,140
We got on the set of the board range here.

670
00:56:05,700 --> 00:56:05,940
Yeah.

671
00:56:06,780 --> 00:56:12,880
the one that Jennifer was using got repurposed over to parks. So we brought that a few months ago.

672
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:21,200
So the O7 is the transmission is shot in it and so we've been wanting to bring you guys the revenue adjustment for a while now.

673
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:31,420
And so in knowing what public works had in that need we wanted to take advantage of this tonight and kind of do all of these items all it wants to make it clear what we're doing.

674
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,040
So this one, I'm assuming we just kept putting a bandaid on it to try to make it work

675
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,100
because the reason why we didn't put it in our budget.

676
00:56:39,820 --> 00:56:46,360
I mean, if you go and change out the transmission, you're going to put probably more than the vehicles worth at this point.

677
00:56:48,020 --> 00:56:50,620
So, with it being an O7, it served as well.

678
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,540
And this has made a lot of turns.

679
00:56:54,540 --> 00:57:01,240
Okay, so we've got a motion about Rick, and thank you about Kirk, all of favor.

680
00:57:01,500 --> 00:57:01,720
Hi.

681
00:57:02,140 --> 00:57:09,400
Any opposed motion carries unanimously to move that money into the public works, why not

682
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:10,720
him for vehicles?

683
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:18,420
Item six is discussion consideration authorizing staff to purchase a new public works vehicle,

684
00:57:19,180 --> 00:57:22,280
not to exceed that 45,000 dollars.

685
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:31,540
Now, I have a motion to prove it's to my truck looked up for motion by Rick, thank you

686
00:57:31,540 --> 00:57:31,860
by Kurt.

687
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:33,060
Thank you.

688
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:33,880
Any discussion?

689
00:57:34,420 --> 00:57:40,500
Are we going to go with a quarter, you know, half toned, three quarter toned, what

690
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:41,860
do you need to really need?

691
00:57:50,950 --> 00:57:51,470
All in favor?

692
00:57:52,110 --> 00:57:52,290
Hi.

693
00:57:52,930 --> 00:57:53,610
Any opposed?

694
00:57:55,610 --> 00:57:56,970
Motion carries your nanos.

695
00:57:58,310 --> 00:57:58,770
Okay.

696
00:57:58,770 --> 00:57:58,930
Okay,

697
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:08,900
you know, as I'll head out, discussing the possible action related to the bed of the

698
00:58:08,900 --> 00:58:10,800
wastewater treatment plan rehabilitation,

699
00:58:16,860 --> 00:58:18,880
no new information, right?

700
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:24,300
Well, no, we've actually have no new information in however I am a little bit missed.

701
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,280
They are moving some more from money around the sector.

702
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:28,700
It actually got tabled.

703
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:29,740
It did not happen.

704
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:31,040
It did not.

705
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,120
So that item was pulled from today's agenda.

706
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,720
Maybe they're going to lump ours with theirs?

707
00:58:39,060 --> 00:58:40,200
I don't know what's happening.

708
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:41,080
Yeah.

709
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,500
Let me make some calls tomorrow, won't I?

710
00:58:44,860 --> 00:58:45,180
Okay.

711
00:58:46,660 --> 00:58:54,720
But the group that wants the 17 million for the youth without homes was there making their

712
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:55,960
pitch too.

713
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:58,820
And I will say they have some ears.

714
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:06,100
So that's going to, what's happened to us is we have a really beautiful sea out

715
00:59:06,940 --> 00:59:10,900
it's laid out there and it's just been blown up.

716
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,540
Now we've got a wastewater treatment plant

717
00:59:16,340 --> 00:59:19,080
that needs to be moved ahead and we've pushed back

718
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,900
deal with it for a couple of months to see if we could get

719
00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:27,020
some of that un-sett-designated ARPA funds.

720
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:31,320
In the interim we had water wells cratered and we spent a total of

721
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,420
165,000, I believe, on those wells, that's close for you.

722
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,380
All three years, sir.

723
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,160
And we're in pretty good shape right now.

724
00:59:41,900 --> 00:59:42,320
Yes, sir.

725
00:59:42,740 --> 00:59:45,360
They'll move in on a well number one this week, I believe.

726
00:59:47,940 --> 00:59:51,460
So, the main question I think in front of us is,

727
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,580
do we want to split this into two packages,

728
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:59,940
and start the gatework, which has to happen before the travel.

729
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:09,200
Only bid repair anyway. Splitting it might increase the overall cost a little bit. But we could use our currently

730
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:16,420
a million dollars and change ARPA funds to do that up front work. While we're waiting for the

731
01:00:16,420 --> 01:00:18,880
county to make a decision one way or the other.

732
01:00:22,660 --> 01:00:25,460
At this point, I don't know when the county is

733
01:00:25,460 --> 01:00:27,220
going to make a decision on the rest of that

734
01:00:27,220 --> 01:00:27,820
art of money.

735
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,600
And I've heard a couple of months.

736
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:38,720
But yeah, I heard that a couple months ago.

737
01:00:38,860 --> 01:00:39,040
Yep.

738
01:00:39,860 --> 01:00:42,840
That's why we put it through today to do something.

739
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,000
If we, yeah, the mayor of needville was down there.

740
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:54,040
And there was little or no discussion on that.

741
01:00:54,040 --> 01:01:00,060
I tried to get the judges here privately, and it just wouldn't happen and he had some place

742
01:01:00,060 --> 01:01:01,960
else to go.

743
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:12,380
But there were of it, and so the question I have is, and Rick, how much, what's that dealt

744
01:01:12,380 --> 01:01:15,480
between doing it all at once and two?

745
01:01:16,180 --> 01:01:20,860
It depends, I guess, if the same contract is going to get both portions of work.

746
01:01:20,860 --> 01:01:28,220
And we only anticipated a few contracts that would be bidding the traveling bridge and the first place.

747
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:35,260
The only other thing, the cost component, is you're losing the efficiency of scale to a degree.

748
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:43,900
The only other thing that's going to happen is if you take the main clarifier bridge and do not bid that for another four months,

749
01:01:44,220 --> 01:01:48,080
we still have a year to lead time on the bridge assembly.

750
01:01:48,580 --> 01:01:53,760
If you bid all together, you start to lead time now because there's three or four months of design.

751
01:01:54,140 --> 01:01:57,740
But I understand that the funding is an issue, and that's why we're talking about it.

752
01:01:57,740 --> 01:02:02,020
So the traveling bridge itself, what was that, a little over a million, a million, five?

753
01:02:02,220 --> 01:02:03,560
Nick has that number, don't you?

754
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:09,180
So the most recent, and this is several months old, but from the engineer, the most recent breakdown we've got,

755
01:02:09,180 --> 01:02:17,080
is construction, clarifier replacement with a 20% contingency is 2.3,

756
01:02:19,270 --> 01:02:22,390
gate replacement with 20% contingency is 692.

757
01:02:23,830 --> 01:02:28,590
But that was installed on that clarifier.

758
01:02:30,130 --> 01:02:34,530
Right. And that doesn't include construction phase engineering either for whatever that.

759
01:02:34,670 --> 01:02:39,610
Right. But what I'm saying is, what is the actual manufacturing cost?

760
01:02:39,610 --> 01:02:44,230
And did we check on that sole source issue we've got?

761
01:02:44,530 --> 01:02:47,490
Yeah, I put in a call to John and haven't gotten an answer to that yet.

762
01:02:47,650 --> 01:02:49,710
So I'll have to keep trying them on that.

763
01:02:52,170 --> 01:02:58,470
So if the issue is, if we ordered the clarifier to be constructed, manufactured,

764
01:03:00,250 --> 01:03:05,670
there's only one source, and we don't know if that's going to void the arp of money clauses.

765
01:03:07,150 --> 01:03:08,210
If we did that way.

766
01:03:14,740 --> 01:03:20,700
So, can we text, Ed, would he know, would he, well, but this was the money that came

767
01:03:20,700 --> 01:03:21,600
directly from the state.

768
01:03:21,740 --> 01:03:23,700
We would have to check that with the state.

769
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:30,660
But I'm more concerned with the money that we would get for the county toward the big

770
01:03:30,660 --> 01:03:31,240
port.

771
01:03:31,580 --> 01:03:39,080
No, because if we bid the installation, the contractors are the ones that are sold sourcing

772
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:40,100
not us.

773
01:03:41,670 --> 01:03:47,090
Well, then maybe I'm on clear is it that is at the gates that are single source?

774
01:03:47,470 --> 01:03:47,710
No.

775
01:03:48,130 --> 01:03:48,770
It's a bridge.

776
01:03:48,990 --> 01:03:50,270
Fire fire bridge assembly.

777
01:03:50,350 --> 01:03:51,190
I think that's okay then.

778
01:03:51,330 --> 01:03:51,630
I'm right.

779
01:03:51,990 --> 01:03:52,550
Yes, sir.

780
01:03:55,550 --> 01:04:02,850
But in fact, the same push, the more I'm leaning toward in that course, I don't have a boat

781
01:04:02,850 --> 01:04:03,310
on this.

782
01:04:03,390 --> 01:04:06,910
But I'm leaning toward giving it one more time so we can sit down there and look at our

783
01:04:06,910 --> 01:04:09,830
folks, look at ourselves and say, we gave it the college

784
01:04:09,830 --> 01:04:10,230
trial.

785
01:04:11,330 --> 01:04:19,390
I will make sure that I contact every day commissioner.

786
01:04:20,930 --> 01:04:23,590
I'll go down there and visit with them and ask

787
01:04:23,590 --> 01:04:27,150
first, ask a face to face rather than just in an email.

788
01:04:27,810 --> 01:04:30,450
Let's see if we can get put on a genus, see if we can get them.

789
01:04:31,570 --> 01:04:33,690
Some of the reason that they got the latest

790
01:04:33,690 --> 01:04:39,450
going to have maybe an impact on this, is if the money's all been shot and it's not

791
01:04:39,450 --> 01:04:39,870
clear.

792
01:04:39,970 --> 01:04:43,010
I don't think it's that the money has all been allocated.

793
01:04:43,430 --> 01:04:47,730
I think they got bogged down with the budget process, we're in the counties in the middle

794
01:04:47,730 --> 01:04:48,150
of budget.

795
01:04:48,470 --> 01:04:51,570
Yes, they are, and there's a lot of huffing and stuff going on.

796
01:04:52,250 --> 01:04:57,010
And so they were in a week's worth of hearings, plus you had to get prepared for those

797
01:04:58,610 --> 01:05:09,350
now they're crunching numbers on what they can afford and so I mean I think that took part of their attention away and took the urgency away and

798
01:05:09,350 --> 01:05:18,190
whether we can talk to them and just say look we understand you've got other issues but we would just like and answer one way or the other

799
01:05:18,190 --> 01:05:22,610
And I think we're at the position to ask that question, Rick, because

800
01:05:22,610 --> 01:05:26,530
he was the last week I met with county judge in the ladies going to

801
01:05:26,530 --> 01:05:28,470
be managed in that the ARPA funds.

802
01:05:29,950 --> 01:05:34,590
We heard at that meeting that the county's still in the pressure because

803
01:05:34,590 --> 01:05:39,190
the state and the feds want to claw back some of this ARPA money.

804
01:05:40,390 --> 01:05:42,510
I mean, it all has to do with spending in the debt.

805
01:05:42,510 --> 01:05:44,730
Well, that's because they're not burning through it.

806
01:05:44,890 --> 01:05:45,370
Yeah, I know.

807
01:05:45,370 --> 01:05:52,090
I'm sorry if you got something that we could burn through three point two million right now right I could burn through twice that amount of money

808
01:05:52,090 --> 01:05:54,150
You could

809
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:56,960
So

810
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:01,380
Question that comes down to Rick and council

811
01:06:03,300 --> 01:06:09,540
Well if if we go forward right now, it's gonna put a serious impact on our reserves

812
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:16,600
You mean with the whole thing or half or if with the whole thing so I'm in the

813
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:27,800
I'm inclined to either delay the whole thing another month or split the package even though it's going to cost us a little bit more money.

814
01:06:29,100 --> 01:06:36,600
I'm inclined to do that one more time assuming that if we do this come into here next month.

815
01:06:37,620 --> 01:06:41,780
Well, TM may be running me and she goes, no, no.

816
01:06:41,780 --> 01:06:41,980
No.

817
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,340
Yeah, if we, there would go ahead and pull the trigger on something.

818
01:06:46,420 --> 01:06:48,760
Those gates, what's the delivery time on those gates?

819
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,100
I can't find that in this back year.

820
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,400
I think the gates were six months, at least that.

821
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:55,780
It was not documented.

822
01:06:56,060 --> 01:06:57,660
Four to six months is the gates.

823
01:06:58,060 --> 01:06:59,920
They're staying the seal to have to be fabricated.

824
01:06:59,980 --> 01:07:02,680
Remember the liner on the water well?

825
01:07:02,940 --> 01:07:03,640
We waited for it.

826
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:08,600
one thing that lasted 50 years. We're getting close. Yeah. Yeah.

827
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:15,640
Once they're in place. So question, if we put it for another month, would that give us,

828
01:07:16,380 --> 01:07:19,420
at that point, there's really no reason not to say we're going to go with all the

829
01:07:19,420 --> 01:07:25,960
thing, right? We wouldn't split it at that point, would we? Probably not. If we don't

830
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:30,800
get an indication that the commissioner's court is going to act soon, I don't know how

831
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:37,160
longer we can delay those when these funds disappear at the end of twenty twenty four right

832
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:47,780
they have to be allocated by then I'm hearing they don't necessarily have to be spent by

833
01:07:47,780 --> 01:07:59,830
them and there are members of commissioners court that want to sweep it into what's the term

834
01:08:02,590 --> 01:08:07,110
something recovery, which then buys them another year to spend it.

835
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,940
What's the cost difference if we did split?

836
01:08:14,700 --> 01:08:19,640
I'd say a mental on 200,000, possibly four.

837
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,520
And then you don't know if you're going to have the same contract

838
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,880
of working on the gates that you're having working on, the main clarifier.

839
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,940
So you may have two contracts in there.

840
01:08:28,940 --> 01:08:30,980
No way to tie that down, please.

841
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,380
You can't, you can't hold the first one up.

842
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:36,960
And wait for the second one or the vice versa.

843
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,400
Yeah, I mean, when you do that double mobilization,

844
01:08:39,700 --> 01:08:41,920
instead of that, it gets messy.

845
01:08:42,440 --> 01:08:44,460
I've got two people crawling over each other there.

846
01:08:44,540 --> 01:08:47,180
One schedule doesn't meet the others and so.

847
01:08:47,380 --> 01:08:50,220
You were five or two.

848
01:09:03,610 --> 01:09:06,510
Oh, well, I'm glad I would not really

849
01:09:06,510 --> 01:09:08,610
want to be sitting here talking to the citizens

850
01:09:08,610 --> 01:09:11,130
when the federal government came back to claw back

851
01:09:11,130 --> 01:09:14,770
that $1 million, because we didn't follow the procurement rules.

852
01:09:16,110 --> 01:09:18,530
Yeah, that's simple to say, take the Mayor to jail.

853
01:09:21,650 --> 01:09:26,760
So if I hear it, I came in here wanting to do something.

854
01:09:28,460 --> 01:09:31,380
Is this something that we're going to do to put it for one more month?

855
01:09:34,420 --> 01:09:36,360
Got a motion to put it one more month.

856
01:09:36,740 --> 01:09:38,900
I'll make a motion to put it for one more month.

857
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,500
So we've got a second here.

858
01:09:41,660 --> 01:09:42,160
Got a motion.

859
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:43,760
We really don't need action.

860
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,020
We just move on to the next slide.

861
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:47,380
We don't take any action.

862
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:47,940
Let's see.

863
01:09:48,300 --> 01:09:49,760
We have to do nothing very well.

864
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:54,260
Pardon our frustrations.

865
01:09:58,100 --> 01:10:00,200
We've done an item number eight.

866
01:10:02,740 --> 01:10:05,940
And we have some guests here with the development

867
01:10:05,940 --> 01:10:09,900
and with field exhaust that are listed in the assembly.

868
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,540
Discussion and consideration regarding a date.

869
01:10:13,540 --> 01:10:17,440
And that's what we're here to do set a date for town hall meeting.

870
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:22,560
We're guarding potential development of the nine acre track located General Ed 1191.

871
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:24,180
West Airport Boulevard.

872
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:25,200
Oh, that's my address.

873
01:10:25,580 --> 01:10:26,180
1191.

874
01:10:26,380 --> 01:10:26,700
1191.

875
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:28,120
2191.

876
01:10:28,180 --> 01:10:33,620
So, Courtney, have you talked to anybody about dates at all?

877
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:34,940
No, okay, so Council,

878
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:38,720
we're going to have, we've talked about it.

879
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:42,560
and we'll have the town meeting in here and all likely good.

880
01:10:42,780 --> 01:10:45,780
We looked at this versus the community center.

881
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,520
We got parks involved, police involved.

882
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:54,840
Nick had his say so and we just, we figured this would be the best place to have it.

883
01:10:55,120 --> 01:11:01,080
Live streaming is one of the reasons and if nothing else we've put 50, 60 people out,

884
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,120
right outside the door and we've got chairs.

885
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:09,560
So, I've eliminated the where or so now.

886
01:11:10,340 --> 01:11:13,120
It's just a matter of whether you're going to try to call it

887
01:11:14,140 --> 01:11:17,400
interim month or you wait until the next council meeting.

888
01:11:17,700 --> 01:11:18,420
I have,

889
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:25,720
I am not going to be available during the middle part of June.

890
01:11:26,380 --> 01:11:27,840
The perfect time to have it then.

891
01:11:30,620 --> 01:11:33,500
So, I'm coming back

892
01:11:33,500 --> 01:11:42,880
And so it'd be here by the 27th, so after June 27th, we're in no big hurry to have it.

893
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,340
I know these guys being anxious for an answer.

894
01:11:46,140 --> 01:11:50,860
You just saw us punch something down the road, we don't hear it, that's not true.

895
01:11:57,180 --> 01:12:00,840
So in reality do you need to be here?

896
01:12:01,480 --> 01:12:06,360
No, but yes, because there's some stuff going on behind the scenes that may or may not

897
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:07,240
be ready to break.

898
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,320
You know, why don't you do the 207?

899
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,160
Well, I'm just wondering about doing it earlier.

900
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:14,720
We're

901
01:12:19,940 --> 01:12:21,460
in 27th.

902
01:12:25,770 --> 01:12:28,550
The problem is you hold it too early in the night.

903
01:12:28,650 --> 01:12:30,050
People are still coming home.

904
01:12:30,130 --> 01:12:30,390
No.

905
01:12:31,210 --> 01:12:31,630
I agree.

906
01:12:32,350 --> 01:12:36,110
And that's why I was leaning towards not doing it on the council night.

907
01:12:36,150 --> 01:12:38,390
Well, I wouldn't do it on the council night, Rick.

908
01:12:38,610 --> 01:12:40,010
Well, June 27th is Council.

909
01:12:40,890 --> 01:12:42,910
I said I'll be back by that.

910
01:12:43,070 --> 01:12:43,310
Okay.

911
01:12:43,310 --> 01:12:47,190
I don't care what I'm leaving on 13

912
01:12:49,850 --> 01:12:53,170
do you want to hold it in June or would you rather

913
01:12:53,170 --> 01:12:54,690
look at July?

914
01:12:58,480 --> 01:13:02,140
Well I mean if you're not leaving until the 13th we could do the week

915
01:13:02,140 --> 01:13:05,580
sometime the week of the 5th. I think it's too quick.

916
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:13,380
I'm okay with that. It's just a matter of

917
01:13:13,380 --> 01:13:17,220
can we get it advertised and off to the public. That's my concern is making sure that we have an

918
01:13:17,220 --> 01:13:18,620
time to get it advertised.

919
01:13:18,660 --> 01:13:19,300
That's too weak.

920
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:20,980
That's a fiction.

921
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,260
There's a holiday in between there.

922
01:13:28,230 --> 01:13:29,310
I mean, that's my only concern.

923
01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:33,200
I don't really want to wait till the end of the month.

924
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,280
I would say the six of the eighth.

925
01:13:35,900 --> 01:13:39,080
When do you leave marriage in 13th?

926
01:13:39,300 --> 01:13:42,340
Actually, I can't do the eighths.

927
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,160
What about Monday, June 12th?

928
01:13:48,930 --> 01:13:48,990
Yeah.

929
01:13:49,750 --> 01:13:51,370
We won't get anybody here.

930
01:13:52,950 --> 01:13:55,490
You're out of time the whole week of June 6th.

931
01:13:58,500 --> 01:14:00,860
What about June 7th? Wednesday.

932
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,380
I can do the 6th of the 7th.

933
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:05,600
Tia?

934
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:09,430
I can do the 7th and I can do the 6th.

935
01:14:11,300 --> 01:14:12,140
For 7th.

936
01:14:13,020 --> 01:14:14,140
Wait, David is on the way up.

937
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:16,380
He's not available as 6th.

938
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:18,560
So June 7th?

939
01:14:18,660 --> 01:14:18,860
Yep.

940
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:20,820
June 7th.

941
01:14:20,860 --> 01:14:21,640
There we go.

942
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:36,800
I would say 6.30 years, give people time to get home,

943
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:42,520
maybe say we'll be here from 6.30 to 7.30.

944
01:14:43,480 --> 01:14:51,400
If the developers want to provide a presentation they can and then just give people a chance.

945
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:56,240
Can I get you somebody else come up here to let us ask you a couple of morning?

946
01:14:59,090 --> 01:14:59,890
the same.

947
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:07,200
Please be in put together for y'all. I get this to end really told you. Turn that, I think there's a-

948
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:14,420
It's on. In we're council is looking at Wednesday, 9 June, 7th. Works for us. That works for y'all.

949
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:25,060
Yes, sir. Better than July? I was a little worried when you were talking about the six. I have a commitment on the six. I went a big good for me, but the seventh is good for me.

950
01:15:25,060 --> 01:15:25,580
Okay.

951
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:33,900
Are y'all going to want to put on a presentation or be here with question answer,

952
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:38,800
modify presentation. What do you certainly don't need option A?

953
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:45,280
We're open to suggestions on what you want to see, what you want us to present.

954
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:48,580
Cameron, we have prior.

955
01:16:03,710 --> 01:16:07,750
Clear what we're going to share with Chad before you send it.

956
01:16:07,750 --> 01:16:12,690
The developers may not be comfortable with everything going out, sometimes there's proprietary

957
01:16:12,690 --> 01:16:13,390
information.

958
01:16:15,070 --> 01:16:18,830
So I think Nick and I talked, we were going to, once you'll set the day, we were going

959
01:16:18,830 --> 01:16:23,750
to talk about details on what you'll expect from us, what you'll want to see.

960
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:33,580
So I'm going to go back to what Rick says, Cameron, run anything that we do, but you

961
01:16:33,580 --> 01:16:36,280
coordinate with Cameron on that with Chad.

962
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:42,140
Can or we could just ask the question right now. Everything that you've submitted is there any issue with us sending that out to the community

963
01:16:50,050 --> 01:16:54,490
Be sure and look it over again if you say I don't want that tell us I'm gonna pull it

964
01:16:57,840 --> 01:16:59,460
Well, they can look at it tonight

965
01:17:02,660 --> 01:17:06,500
Cameron, I have a question. How are you sending it out to residents?

966
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:19,680
You're

967
01:17:25,570 --> 01:17:25,970
good

968
01:17:25,970 --> 01:17:27,290
So we got

969
01:17:27,290 --> 01:17:29,830
Yeah, we can still get it on the water bill

970
01:17:29,830 --> 01:17:31,930
Cuz we're not we're not reading meters

971
01:17:31,930 --> 01:17:34,410
Oh, but they want yeah, they might get their bills

972
01:17:35,950 --> 01:17:36,890
It'll be closed.

973
01:17:36,910 --> 01:17:38,530
Nobody reads their bill.

974
01:17:38,950 --> 01:17:40,610
I would like to have some information

975
01:17:40,610 --> 01:17:41,830
at the meeting.

976
01:17:42,570 --> 01:17:46,450
Just in case we do get residents who aren't necessarily online

977
01:17:47,070 --> 01:17:48,890
that might want to come.

978
01:17:49,210 --> 01:17:50,670
Maybe we gauge that?

979
01:17:50,690 --> 01:17:51,170
I don't know.

980
01:17:51,350 --> 01:17:53,890
I don't want to make you come in with a full presentation.

981
01:17:54,410 --> 01:17:56,570
If most of them were able to see it online

982
01:17:56,570 --> 01:18:00,870
but I'm thinking some of the people that may not be online

983
01:18:00,870 --> 01:18:03,490
if they want more information when they come.

984
01:18:03,490 --> 01:18:07,510
the one that may see it on the market or on the LED sign.

985
01:18:08,730 --> 01:18:11,850
One thing that may be helpful for the presentation,

986
01:18:12,570 --> 01:18:15,010
some of the retail and restaurant space.

987
01:18:15,950 --> 01:18:19,530
I know you're showing square footages, but most folks don't say,

988
01:18:20,050 --> 01:18:23,030
don't see a square footage and equate that to a particular restaurant.

989
01:18:23,270 --> 01:18:26,970
Maybe an example of, hey, this would be good for a sit-down restaurant,

990
01:18:27,130 --> 01:18:30,710
or this would be good for a retail shoe store, whatever it may be.

991
01:18:30,710 --> 01:18:33,350
Yes, so there's that thing of the day, and that was a good answer.

992
01:18:34,590 --> 01:18:37,270
That was a good answer, so that was to compare it like that.

993
01:18:37,610 --> 01:18:39,770
That'd be helpful for us to understand it

994
01:18:39,770 --> 01:18:41,510
for the residents to understand.

995
01:18:42,010 --> 01:18:43,550
Good idea.

996
01:18:45,490 --> 01:18:48,070
Y'all understand what we're saying there.

997
01:18:49,050 --> 01:18:51,630
And I don't give anything away, but if you have something

998
01:18:51,630 --> 01:18:55,690
that you can share of the type of restaurants or stores that might be

999
01:18:55,690 --> 01:18:59,610
interested, if you can share something like that, that'd be great too.

1000
01:18:59,610 --> 01:19:06,290
I know if you don't have a documented and signed and you're not been, that's not the case,

1001
01:19:07,490 --> 01:19:13,670
but if you have somebody you're talking to, you say this type of a store or this type of restaurant,

1002
01:19:27,770 --> 01:19:33,990
to get them in, yeah. Understand, okay. Anything else for Mayor?

1003
01:19:33,990 --> 01:19:36,990
... what time on the seventh year looking at starting?

1004
01:19:37,530 --> 01:19:39,030
Six, six, six, six, six, six.

1005
01:19:41,670 --> 01:19:45,570
And if we need to get in touch with you, or with them,

1006
01:19:46,450 --> 01:19:48,830
we will, we've got your data on us.

1007
01:19:48,970 --> 01:19:49,190
Yes, sir.

1008
01:19:49,770 --> 01:19:54,070
But if you need contact us, give a holl or back,

1009
01:19:54,210 --> 01:19:56,950
and we'll do calling them that.

1010
01:19:57,870 --> 01:19:58,270
OK.

1011
01:19:58,610 --> 01:19:58,790
Sir.

1012
01:19:59,750 --> 01:20:01,050
You see that bucket, pass?

1013
01:20:01,950 --> 01:20:02,490
Yes, sir.

1014
01:20:02,490 --> 01:20:08,250
With all that mayor and I don't know if you're gonna have time to call me, but we'll fit her. We'll fit it in

1015
01:20:08,250 --> 01:20:15,290
Yes, sir. Yeah, need both the hop and joint. It is I'm glad to see Neville's not the only place running around in

1016
01:20:15,290 --> 01:20:17,210
07 Rangers too

1017
01:20:19,610 --> 01:20:21,750
Hey, if y'all need one

1018
01:20:22,290 --> 01:20:29,230
Why are you going to transmit this or brought to you sell the cheap? It's okay. We'll get some sawdust. We'll give you a special deal. There you go.

1019
01:20:29,230 --> 01:20:30,150
All right, thank you.

1020
01:20:30,370 --> 01:20:31,070
We're going to repeat.

1021
01:20:31,370 --> 01:20:33,550
We have set the date and set the time.

1022
01:20:33,930 --> 01:20:40,990
So we have concluded item eight on the agenda, and now we're concluding not moving

1023
01:20:40,990 --> 01:20:43,450
on to item nine was a discussion.

1024
01:20:44,470 --> 01:20:45,930
The gentleman, thank you very much for coming.

1025
01:20:46,350 --> 01:20:47,770
Thank you.

1026
01:20:48,190 --> 01:20:53,230
A discussion, a consideration regarding a date from 2023 budget workshop.

1027
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:57,960
Absolutely.

1028
01:20:58,700 --> 01:20:58,960
I agree.

1029
01:20:59,460 --> 01:20:59,720
Yeah.

1030
01:21:01,020 --> 01:21:01,080
Yeah.

1031
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:01,360
Yeah.

1032
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:06,080
pretty early. Earlier this afternoon, I'm going to give

1033
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,940
Courtney and Anna Maria all the credit on this, all the credit.

1034
01:21:10,700 --> 01:21:14,260
They worked very hard to try and back into some numbers on the aggressive schedule.

1035
01:21:14,420 --> 01:21:16,480
The same schedule we used last year, just in case.

1036
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:21,160
As you guys can remember, if you go above that three and a half that VAR,

1037
01:21:21,780 --> 01:21:25,220
then it opens up us to have to do the aggressive schedule as opposed to the normal

1038
01:21:25,220 --> 01:21:27,340
schedule you do if you were below three and a half.

1039
01:21:27,780 --> 01:21:30,480
So, Courtney, you should have those dates there and we can back into

1040
01:21:30,480 --> 01:21:34,260
when we need to meet in order to hit those dates.

1041
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:34,700
All right.

1042
01:21:35,900 --> 01:21:40,280
So just for starters, the final day to file the proposed budget

1043
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:44,700
with the city secretary is July 21st.

1044
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:50,260
So we need to first have our initial meeting with Council

1045
01:21:50,260 --> 01:21:54,100
to kind of go over staff's projected budget items

1046
01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:57,880
and then look at setting our proposed tax rate

1047
01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,820
and getting some guidelines from you

1048
01:21:59,820 --> 01:22:12,040
And then we would have a second meeting where council comes back and I mean staff comes back to bring you the budget like we did last year after you give us guidance on tax rate and stuff like that.

1049
01:22:12,480 --> 01:22:16,780
So this initial meeting probably really needs to take place in June.

1050
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:18,820
But.

1051
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,320
We did that in conjunction with the next council meeting.

1052
01:22:23,460 --> 01:22:24,360
That workshop.

1053
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:27,060
I have to tell you guys right now.

1054
01:22:27,140 --> 01:22:29,160
I'm not going to be at the next council meeting.

1055
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:34,960
I feel better. I really think we need more time. Which may be the, but yeah, it's not a good day. It's not a good day.

1056
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:39,220
I think we need more time because I don't get this in an hour. Yeah, we need more time.

1057
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:44,480
Is it just that day for you going for a range of days?

1058
01:22:44,500 --> 01:22:47,420
Why? We're pretty much staff is not available.

1059
01:22:48,100 --> 01:22:51,160
Yeah. June 20th through June 26th.

1060
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,580
Yeah, June is a tough month for staff.

1061
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:56,000
Yeah, June 30th.

1062
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:03,160
And did somebody say they're out of your gone marriage the 13th?

1063
01:23:04,440 --> 01:23:05,160
I'm waiting on.

1064
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:08,660
The 13th June 13th.

1065
01:23:09,460 --> 01:23:12,160
So June 12th or June 19th?

1066
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:15,340
And you've got to be available those days?

1067
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,520
Well, June 19th. Yeah, we could do.

1068
01:23:19,620 --> 01:23:20,980
But these are Monday.

1069
01:23:24,510 --> 01:23:26,390
You're out the whole week of June 12th.

1070
01:23:27,770 --> 01:23:28,650
June 19th.

1071
01:23:30,410 --> 01:23:31,610
You guys have off that day, don't you?

1072
01:23:31,610 --> 01:23:33,370
I can't do the 19.

1073
01:23:35,310 --> 01:23:36,190
Okay, then.

1074
01:23:38,390 --> 01:23:41,350
Well, so it's a morning meeting, if it was a morning meeting.

1075
01:23:41,990 --> 01:23:44,810
Can we make it the 20th or 21st?

1076
01:23:44,850 --> 01:23:45,930
No, they just, they're empty.

1077
01:23:46,250 --> 01:23:47,030
Because out of the office.

1078
01:23:47,210 --> 01:23:47,930
No, no, I'm not.

1079
01:23:48,150 --> 01:23:48,790
I'm good.

1080
01:23:49,130 --> 01:23:49,670
You're not.

1081
01:23:50,410 --> 01:23:51,870
I thought you were leaving the 20th.

1082
01:23:52,270 --> 01:23:53,610
No, I'm leaving the 26th.

1083
01:23:54,350 --> 01:23:55,390
So I'll be okay.

1084
01:23:55,770 --> 01:23:55,930
Okay.

1085
01:23:56,210 --> 01:23:57,310
So I've got a 20th?

1086
01:23:57,310 --> 01:23:57,710
I've got a 20th.

1087
01:23:57,710 --> 01:23:57,870
I've got a 20th.

1088
01:23:58,170 --> 01:23:58,570
I've got a 20th.

1089
01:23:58,950 --> 01:24:01,590
I've got a 20th.

1090
01:24:01,590 --> 01:24:03,690
the evening of the 20th.

1091
01:24:03,790 --> 01:24:03,970
Thank you.

1092
01:24:04,630 --> 01:24:06,450
The celebration of the Starbucks.

1093
01:24:09,090 --> 01:24:10,410
We'll get some Starbucks.

1094
01:24:10,450 --> 01:24:11,290
We'll get Starbucks.

1095
01:24:11,910 --> 01:24:13,590
So everybody can do June 20th.

1096
01:24:14,350 --> 01:24:16,770
Do we want to do six o'clock or six thirty?

1097
01:24:18,070 --> 01:24:18,510
Six.

1098
01:24:18,970 --> 01:24:20,290
We just six get us fed.

1099
01:24:21,890 --> 01:24:22,370
Yes.

1100
01:24:22,810 --> 01:24:24,590
We always needed a budget meeting.

1101
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,320
So June 20th, six p.m.

1102
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:29,320
That works for everybody.

1103
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:32,900
Yeah.

1104
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,140
We'll get with Chiefs to be at the ESC.

1105
01:24:35,700 --> 01:24:40,860
So that would give staff enough time to pull together a presentation that way we can kind

1106
01:24:40,860 --> 01:24:43,620
of give you guys some similar to what we did last year.

1107
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:49,320
And then once you guys give us some road maps, then we can go away and come back to you

1108
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,340
in July with a proposed budget.

1109
01:24:58,110 --> 01:25:03,830
If there's a vote, if we go aggressive and it requires a vote in the citizens vote, you would

1110
01:25:03,830 --> 01:25:08,010
have to file the proposed budget July 21st.

1111
01:25:08,010 --> 01:25:16,490
And then the week of August 1st, we'll have to meet for staff to present the proposed tax

1112
01:25:16,490 --> 01:25:16,970
rates.

1113
01:25:17,850 --> 01:25:19,670
The week, it's going to have a lot of means in August.

1114
01:25:20,170 --> 01:25:25,370
The week of August 8th, Council will need to meet to vote on the proposed tax rate.

1115
01:25:27,410 --> 01:25:31,890
August 16th is our proposed date for you to adopt the budget.

1116
01:25:32,330 --> 01:25:36,530
The budget would have to be adopted between August 15th and 17th.

1117
01:25:36,530 --> 01:25:44,930
And then August 22nd would be the public hearing on the tax rate and adopting the tax rate.

1118
01:25:46,050 --> 01:25:47,390
That's exactly it.

1119
01:25:47,730 --> 01:25:51,450
So we're going to have to leave the first three weeks.

1120
01:25:51,650 --> 01:25:54,750
Actually, we're meeting once the first four weeks of August.

1121
01:25:55,270 --> 01:25:57,310
We'll have to meet once every week in August.

1122
01:25:57,470 --> 01:26:02,750
Just going to include for these the EDC budgets as well.

1123
01:26:04,210 --> 01:26:05,270
It can, but it doesn't.

1124
01:26:05,270 --> 01:26:07,690
Yeah, you know, EDC budget is separate.

1125
01:26:08,250 --> 01:26:10,210
Yeah. EDC is not an affluent forum.

1126
01:26:10,730 --> 01:26:12,390
So yeah, it doesn't have to fall.

1127
01:26:12,390 --> 01:26:13,150
So they're a budget.

1128
01:26:13,370 --> 01:26:15,430
As long as they get it in the time for us

1129
01:26:15,430 --> 01:26:16,090
when we separate.

1130
01:26:16,370 --> 01:26:18,450
We can adopt theirs in September, like we do.

1131
01:26:19,490 --> 01:26:21,790
So I can send down an email tomorrow.

1132
01:26:21,970 --> 01:26:23,970
If these proposed dates, we have for August

1133
01:26:23,970 --> 01:26:25,690
and they're very speed back.

1134
01:26:26,470 --> 01:26:27,810
So we're going to get all those scheduled.

1135
01:26:29,710 --> 01:26:30,150
Wow.

1136
01:26:31,250 --> 01:26:31,970
Are we done?

1137
01:26:32,430 --> 01:26:33,550
We'll get them many days.

1138
01:26:33,550 --> 01:26:40,930
There was a lot of work that went in to back it into these days.

1139
01:26:44,750 --> 01:26:54,410
Well, I'll send the email out for these August meetings and give everybody like two dates for each week, and then we can whatever works best for everybody.

1140
01:26:55,470 --> 01:27:03,610
I was just addressing the mayor's question about the dates because we have the date for the first budget workshop, but not the second. Not the second.

1141
01:27:03,610 --> 01:27:04,350
I'm sorry.

1142
01:27:04,810 --> 01:27:05,250
Oh, here.

1143
01:27:05,330 --> 01:27:05,630
Right.

1144
01:27:05,650 --> 01:27:06,150
Not yet.

1145
01:27:07,210 --> 01:27:11,650
So once you guys, once we meet on the 20th, then we'll come back sometime.

1146
01:27:13,010 --> 01:27:13,150
Yeah.

1147
01:27:13,250 --> 01:27:14,270
We'll have to do another meeting.

1148
01:27:14,370 --> 01:27:16,390
Early in July to show you guys what we did.

1149
01:27:17,070 --> 01:27:21,350
And then once provided that you don't have any more comments on budget, or we could just make

1150
01:27:21,350 --> 01:27:27,830
changes on the fly, that'll set us to be able to post that proposed budget in July.

1151
01:27:27,890 --> 01:27:28,110
Good.

1152
01:27:28,170 --> 01:27:28,470
Okay.

1153
01:27:29,270 --> 01:27:29,370
Yes.

1154
01:27:29,530 --> 01:27:30,430
Thank you.

1155
01:27:30,830 --> 01:27:37,930
I mean, we're going to need some tax rate expectations from you guys before we do the budget, so that's what that first meeting is going to do just like we did last year

1156
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,200
With the magic at the internet, I just got a text from Anna Maria

1157
01:27:48,340 --> 01:27:55,780
Oh, she is she does say we want to do the EDC budget so we can have their public hearings, which is a good point

1158
01:28:03,870 --> 01:28:05,590
We'll talk more about that

1159
01:28:06,490 --> 01:28:08,630
I'm not going to try them.

1160
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:17,340
Then we've got dates coming at us.

1161
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:19,340
We've got dates that.

1162
01:28:19,860 --> 01:28:21,180
So we're done with that item.

1163
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:22,080
Good job,

1164
01:28:26,100 --> 01:28:27,280
y'all.

1165
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:27,860
Good job.

1166
01:28:28,480 --> 01:28:31,540
That takes us on to item number nine.

1167
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:32,500
I'm sorry.

1168
01:28:32,940 --> 01:28:34,580
Takes us onto the consent agenda.

1169
01:28:35,440 --> 01:28:36,640
Motion by Rick.

1170
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,280
I think, do you got it?

1171
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:40,940
I don't know.

1172
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:42,420
I don't think do you got it.

1173
01:28:42,780 --> 01:28:43,380
All of favor?

1174
01:28:44,260 --> 01:28:44,280
Hi.

1175
01:28:44,660 --> 01:28:45,380
And you pose.

1176
01:28:46,100 --> 01:28:47,200
Most of the papers.

1177
01:28:47,660 --> 01:28:50,600
Audience comments for items not on the agenda.

1178
01:28:55,250 --> 01:28:59,010
If you would please step up, give me your name, your address,

1179
01:29:00,430 --> 01:29:02,210
and you get three minutes.

1180
01:29:03,790 --> 01:29:06,650
Cheryl T. from 116, 112.

1181
01:29:07,330 --> 01:29:11,490
I just wanted to say that I got my June newsletter yesterday.

1182
01:29:11,490 --> 01:29:17,990
and I almost fainted. So I just want to say thank you to have her's idea that was to send out early

1183
01:29:17,990 --> 01:29:22,870
instead of getting it in the middle of the month. I looked at it and I was like, why are they

1184
01:29:22,870 --> 01:29:31,690
talking about July in May and then I was like, this is Jews newsletter? So I just wanted to say thank you

1185
01:29:32,310 --> 01:29:38,390
for doing that. Thanks, Sarah. Thank you. That was actually on my note to comment during open

1186
01:29:38,390 --> 01:29:43,290
comments. I was going to say thank you for however that happened. I think getting it out early.

1187
01:29:43,390 --> 01:29:48,550
I thought when I remember I was the post office issue was always having them arrived,

1188
01:29:48,550 --> 01:29:53,630
middle of the month. So having them early and having the dates for the next month available.

1189
01:29:55,790 --> 01:29:59,910
There's always been a problem that in part of the problem was to get.

1190
01:30:00,110 --> 01:30:10,030
That data out from accounts for me. But what we've been doing is pushing the data and the information

1191
01:30:10,030 --> 01:30:18,250
out ahead of time and, you know, callings and screaming at me for years to get that out, so she can get her dates

1192
01:30:18,250 --> 01:30:26,370
on time. And if I get it out quickly right after, if the post office delivers, we'll use

1193
01:30:26,370 --> 01:30:36,150
okay. Unless February, this is a 28th. But we looked at it and because of the way we're

1194
01:30:36,150 --> 01:30:44,310
now able to put what's your little recap thing called council comments, council vites, we now

1195
01:30:44,310 --> 01:30:50,510
have a quick hitting information thing, and so that's what we're moving. Now we pulled

1196
01:30:51,870 --> 01:31:00,560
the hard deadline on the all the data to the 15th of the month, David, so that we can

1197
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:10,990
try to do that. So now with a communications director to stay on top of it, I think everybody

1198
01:31:10,990 --> 01:31:16,270
will be happy. So thank you very much, I'm glad you noticed. Let me ask you a question real quick.

1199
01:31:17,030 --> 01:31:19,170
Doesn't count against your future times.

1200
01:31:20,870 --> 01:31:22,270
Do you read your water bill?

1201
01:31:22,590 --> 01:31:23,790
You utility bill.

1202
01:31:27,620 --> 01:31:28,260
Thank you.

1203
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:29,220
Thank you.

1204
01:31:34,730 --> 01:31:34,970
Yes.

1205
01:31:35,550 --> 01:31:36,170
All right.

1206
01:31:36,430 --> 01:31:38,270
Anybody else going once?

1207
01:31:38,350 --> 01:31:40,270
Going twice if there's no objections.

1208
01:31:40,950 --> 01:31:42,270
This meeting is adjourned.

1209
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:45,420
Thank you, Council.
