welcome and

51
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:56,079
Good morning. Uh, so I've lived in El

52
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,880
Paso now I think about nine and a half

53
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:01,119
years. I came here in 2016. I was the

54
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,399
chief of staff at William Bowmont, the

55
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:06,799
old hospital. Had to oversee the uh

56
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:09,360
movement to the new hospital and some of

57
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:12,160
the construction there. Of course, the

58
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,480
uh core of engineers oversaw all the

59
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,040
construction projects, but for me, it

60
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,319
was more so, you know, what uh where

61
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,000
things were going to go inside the

62
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:24,640
hospital. Um and then the movement from

63
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,480
the old hospital to the new hospital. Uh

64
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:31,440
since then, uh I when I retired in 2020,

65
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:34,560
I worked at the MCA for a couple of

66
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,120
years, which saw oversaw some of the uh

67
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,040
COVID response here in El Paso. uh

68
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,519
bringing in some partners from outside

69
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:45,120
of the region to help with uh the

70
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:46,879
response plan. Um and then worked a

71
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,319
little bit uh in the commercial sector

72
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,800
after that and now I work uh with a

73
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:54,319
Alaskan Native American company with

74
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,840
some government contracting in the

75
00:02:54,319 --> 00:03:00,239

believe we have um a void on the

113
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,680

114
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,240

115
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,600

that committee and so um it'll be really

122
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:12,880
interesting um and it'll be a good way

123
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:15,280

00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,759

Mobility Authority. And today we've got

149
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:11,600
a a PowerPoint for you to walk you

150
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:14,000
through this procurement that we've

151
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,840
talked about a couple of times. Uh so as

152
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,680
read into the record, this is a

153
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:20,680
procurement for indefinite deliverable

154
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,680
contracts.

155
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:28,319
Ah, there we go. Okay. So here's our

156
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:29,919
agenda. This is included as part of your

157
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:31,199
backup. So I'll I'll breeze through this

158
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:32,800
pretty quickly, but I'm happy to slow

159
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:35,120
down if you have any questions along the

160
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,800
way.

161
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,479
Is that okay? Thanks. So the the purpose

162
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,680
of this particular uh procurement

163
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:44,080
relates to the way that this

164
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,680
organization operates. We have as you

165
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,680
know um a a rotation of engineering

166
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,440
firms that we pull from whenever we have

167
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,400
design or or other activities that we

168
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,960
need uh to be completed. So what we do

169
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,319
is we'll put out a uh a request for

170
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,560
qualifications for indefinite

171
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:02,720
deliverable contracts and we receive

172
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,319
submittals from those firms looking for

173
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,599
the types of services that you see there

174
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:07,199
and these are just examples but

175
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:09,440
surveying right away mapping everything

176
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:10,800
that you see there uh is included in the

177
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,840
type of procurement that we're looking

178
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,160
for. So next

179
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,919
here's the timeline that that we've had

180
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,319
uh on this particular procurement. Back

181
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:21,919
in August, the board established the

182
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:24,639
scoring criteria that we use for this

183
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:27,199
procurement. The RFQ was issued in

184
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:29,759
September. We had a question and answer

185
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:31,840
process that was completed uh there in

186
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:34,160
September as well. And at the end of

187
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,639
September, we received submitts, 15 in

188
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,039
total. That's the most we've received uh

189
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:42,880
on any prior IDC program. So, it was

190
00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:44,319
quite a few uh submitts. We uh also had

191
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,080
an evaluation committee, which we'll

192
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:48,880
talk about here in a moment, that met on

193
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,199
November 6th to finalize the scoring.

194
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,599
And so today we have a recommendation

195
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:55,120
for you uh in terms of the the proposed

196
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:56,560
teams that we're that we want to move

197
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,280
forward with. It's a bit of a short

198
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,039
list. And then uh we'll be back for

199
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,080
approval of individual agreements with

200
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:05,440
those firms if if you so approve. These

201
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,560
are the submitts that that were

202
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,000
received. And again, this is part of

203
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440
your backup, so I won't read through all

204
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,160
of them, but these are all of the firms

205
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,080
that we received submittals for. Uh, and

206
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,680
this will be posted online after after

207
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,319
the the board meeting as well for the

208
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,840
public. This is the the scoring criteria

209
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:22,720
that the board authorized back in

210
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,400
August. 35% of the score went to team

211
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:29,199
organization staffing and approach to

212
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:31,680
DBE. 25% was uh related to uh past

213
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:33,279
project experience. And we also had a

214
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,919
sample project that was included and we

215
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,320
asked them to put together a sample uh

216
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:42,719
uh procedure for uh that project and

217
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,480
that was 40% of of the maximum score.

218
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:46,480
I mentioned the evaluation committee. So

219
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,720
we reached out to El Paso County, the

220
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,760
city of El Paso and the and Texot. Those

221
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,279
are our three primary u partners that we

222
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,519
work with regularly. So we thought it

223
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:57,600
would be useful to have some engineers

224
00:08:55,519 --> 00:09:00,000
from those organizations help us make

225
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,480
the selection. So from the county we had

226
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,200
Roxan Medina who uh we work with

227
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:08,320
regularly, Ismael Sepa from the city of

228
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,480
El Paso and Sheetal Patel from Text. So

229
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,720
I want to thank them uh for their work.

230
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,320
They were uh you could tell during our

231
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,000
discussions last week that that they

232
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,600
spent quite a bit of time on on each of

233
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,720
these and I really appreciate their

234
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:24,959
their work. This is the ranking. So the

235
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,880
of the uh total submitts CA engineering

236
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:29,680
group was ranked number one. HDR was

237
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,959
next with GFT third and Consor

238
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:32,880
Engineering fourth. And what we're

239
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:34,480
recommending to you today is to move

240
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,360
forward with these four shortlisted

241
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:40,160
firms. Uh we would ask in fact on the

242
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,160
next slide there's the motion that we'd

243
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,080
be asking a motion to approve the exe

244
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,600
evaluation committees rankings and

245
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,360
authorize the executive director to

246
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,680
begin negotiations with the top four

247
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,360
ranked firms provided that the resulting

248
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,880
master agreements and subsequent work

249
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,880
authorizations will be returned to the

250
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,279
board for review and approval. So, as a

251
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,279
reminder, uh we would negotiate master

252
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,880
agreements with these four firms. They'd

253
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:02,880
be on the shelf. When a when a project

254
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,800
comes up, then we would issue a an

255
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,720
individual work authorization. Both the

256
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,640
master agreement and the subsequent work

257
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,800
authorizations would come back for board

258
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,839
review and approval. Happy to answer any

259
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,440
questions, but that would be our

260
00:10:11,839 --> 00:10:15,052
recommendation today.

261
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,320
» Two small ones. When you put

262
00:10:15,052 --> 00:10:17,920
[clears throat] out the original RFQ,

263
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,959
did you specify the number of firms that

264
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,000
would be selected?

265
00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:24,880
» We did not. We left it open. And then

266
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,839
when you scored them, I saw the ranking.

267
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,839
Um, how how did they stack up in terms

268
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:31,519
of points one, two, three, four, five?

269
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:34,480
Was there some big gap where you cut it

270
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:38,560
off out into four? There was a gap. If

271
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:40,480
you'll um allow me

272
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:44,040
uh to pull that up or maybe Robert, you

273
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,040
could get to it quicker.

274
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:49,160
I should have had that ready. I

275
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,160
apologize.

276
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:55,120
And I'll I'll share, in fact, I'll send

277
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:57,519
an email out to the full board with the

278
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:01,399
with the scores and the and the full

279
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:01,399
rankings if you're interested.

280
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,040
» Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm not finding it.

281
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,040
Robert, can you

282
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,839
» Ah, thank you.

283
00:11:16,959 --> 00:11:22,959
So I'll I'll give you the the scores for

284
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:25,760
the top four. The the top was 81.67.

285
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:27,680
The second was 79 and then it dropped

286
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,839
down to 77.75

287
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,839
and 74.75.

288
00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:34,000
» And then after that what was next?

289
00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:37,519
» Uh 73.42

290
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,800
71.33 down to 70 and 68.

291
00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:42,800
» Okay. Um

292
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,519
are four sufficient?

293
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:49,200
» Yes, we we believe so. So in in our past

294
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:51,680
the one time we had we selected five but

295
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,200
that was actually based on the scoring

296
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:56,000
the the fourth and fifth were very

297
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,079
close. So normally we have three or four

298
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,839
um historically four actually and then

299
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:02,800
one time five

300
00:11:59,839 --> 00:12:04,800
» And in terms of anticipated work these

301
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,360
four firms would represent the skills

302
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,480
that you would need. Well, so that's

303
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,880
that's the tough part in prior the the

304
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,920
uh instance where we selected five that

305
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,200
was based on the fact that we were

306
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,279
heading into the vehicle registration

307
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,800
fee program. So we knew we had a quite a

308
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:20,880
bit of sufficient quite a bit of

309
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,399
funding. That's not the case this time.

310
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,480
So we don't exactly know what the work

311
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,000
will look like. So there's no work

312
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,440
guaranteed to any of these firms. Now

313
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,240
hopefully we'll be able to continue to

314
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,600
to generate work uh for them. But at

315
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,880
this point we don't know what the

316
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,839
program looks like.

317
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,040
» Okay. I have no question. I move to

318
00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:39,200
approve.

319
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,480
» Okay. No other questions from anyone

320
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,560
else.

321
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,560
» All right. I have a motion to accept the

322
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:46,480
recommendation as submitted.

323
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:49,440
» I'll second.

324
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,160
» We have a second. All in favor?

325
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,279
» I

326
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,920
» I.

327
00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:56,639
» Any opposed? Motion passes. Okay. Good

328
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,480
work, everyone.

329
00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,480
» Can I assume all these firms have a

330
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,040
presence here in the community?

331
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,720
» Yes, ma'am.

332
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,959
» Okay.

333
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,320
» The for sure. Some of them actually

334
00:13:06,959 --> 00:13:11,519
» Okay.

335
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:14,399
» Okay. Good.

336
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:16,720
Um number item number five, discussion

337
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:18,480
and action on board resolutions

338
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,839
authorizing the execution of work

339
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,839
authorization number seven with H&TB

340
00:13:21,839 --> 00:13:26,399
Corporation and interlocal agreements

341
00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:28,079
with the following entities in relation

342
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:31,120
to the medical center of the America's

343
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:34,800
placemaking guidelines project. A city

344
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:36,880
of El Paso. B. El Paso County. C. Texas

345
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,760
Tech University Health Sciences Center

346
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,160
at El Paso. D. El Paso Children's

347
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,959
Hospital. And E, El Paso County Hospital

348
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,480
District.

349
00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:48,000
» Okay, we've got another PowerPoint for

350
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,240
you. We don't have a lot of PowerPoints

351
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,240
today, I should mention, just to prepare

352
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,760
you, but this one I think is is useful.

353
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,560
This is an interesting project that came

354
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,480
to us uh from an initiative that came

355
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:00,639
out of the El Paso uh Mobility

356
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,440
Coalition, which is part of the El Paso

357
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:05,040
Chamber. Next slide. So the intent here

358
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,560
uh and I I'll skip this. This is part of

359
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:10,399
your backup as well. Uh so the intent

360
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:13,440
behind the initiative uh El Paso

361
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:16,000
Mobility Coalition's initiative was to

362
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,800
focus in on the medical center of the

363
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,360
Amedicas and the the ways in and out of

364
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:26,959
the of the system, excuse me, of the of

365
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:29,959
the center. So they felt that um

366
00:14:26,959 --> 00:14:29,959
sorry

367
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:37,040
well so apologies. So they felt that um

368
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,639
it was not the the ways in and out of

369
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,240
the medical center were not uh

370
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:42,079
representative of of the amount of

371
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,760
investment that our community has made

372
00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:45,120
in the medical center. So you see there

373
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,000
a list and I should mention the first

374
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,800
six slides come from uh the chamber.

375
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,639
This one shows the the significant

376
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,160
investments that this community has made

377
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:56,320
in in the medical center. So, next

378
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,639
slide. Uh these are some of the comments

379
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,680
made by by folks over the years noting

380
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:04,560
that there's not a a a positive way to

381
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,399
enter um the the medical center. That

382
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,320
last one is is normally highlighted by

383
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:11,519
the chamber as [clears throat] it comes

384
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,920
from a a dental student uh who notes

385
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:16,000
that it's just not inviting. You want uh

386
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,839
you want quality when you want to have

387
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,279
the presence and the feeling of quality

388
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:23,839
as you're entering uh into into this uh

389
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:25,760
medical center. So, next slide.

390
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:26,959
And here's some examples of of prior

391
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,560
wayfinding plans that have been

392
00:15:26,959 --> 00:15:33,360
developed in the area. So, next slide.

393
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:36,160
And some example of examples of

394
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,839
noticeable notable uh public entrances.

395
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,240
So, next slide. Let me speak more

396
00:15:37,839 --> 00:15:42,399
generally. So again, the idea then was

397
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,399
that the chamber wanted to make some

398
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:47,519
improvements to the medical center area.

399
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:50,880
They wanted to create a major gateway

400
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:52,560
entrance along Reynolds. But as uh they

401
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,639
put stakeholders together, including

402
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,959
Texas Tech, UMC, all of the major

403
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:57,680
stakeholders in the MCA, the

404
00:15:56,959 --> 00:16:00,079
conversation [clears throat] was

405
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,000
broadened into developing more of an

406
00:16:00,079 --> 00:16:03,680
aesthetic for the area. Not only do they

407
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
want to have a major gateway entrance,

408
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,920
but they also wanted a a unified

409
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
aesthetic throughout to to show the

410
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,560
unified coordination of the medical

411
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,560
center. So that's where the RMA came in.

412
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,800
Uh we were asked if we could assist with

413
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,440
that exercise. So we met with the group

414
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,680
and and essentially agreed to to pursue

415
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,839
this. Next slide.

416
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,880
So we agreed to develop a placemaking

417
00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:29,199
plan. Uh so there are five partners that

418
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,279
that will will help us uh develop this

419
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:32,959
this guide and that's what you see as as

420
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:35,279
that first bullet. The city, the county,

421
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:37,680
Texas Tech, UMC and the Children's

422
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:41,040
Hospital will fund this placemaking

423
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,399
plan. The RMA will uh bring on H&TB

424
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,680
which is one of our general engineering

425
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:45,839
consultant teams and they will actually

426
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,160
do the work. However, we use a project

427
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:51,040
committee uh composed primarily of the

428
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,199
five uh project partners but also major

429
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,040
stakeholders throughout the the MCA area

430
00:16:53,199 --> 00:16:58,160
and they'll guide the development of

431
00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,160
this plan. Next slide.

432
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,920
Uh so there are the steps and and I

433
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,799
won't I won't go through all of them but

434
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:07,199
the the gist is that we will review all

435
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:08,880
of the prior developed documentation for

436
00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:11,199
the area. all of the master plans that

437
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,120
the MCA has developed, all of those uh

438
00:17:11,199 --> 00:17:15,199
documents that each of the stakeholders

439
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:16,720
have developed and use that as a

440
00:17:15,199 --> 00:17:18,079
starting point. We'll we'll bring all of

441
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,760
that and present that to the committee

442
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:21,679
and and receive guidance from them on

443
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,520
developing the plan and going forward. I

444
00:17:21,679 --> 00:17:26,079
would mention there's not only the the

445
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:29,120
placemaking plan, but one also one

446
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:31,120
really important addition was um what

447
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:33,440
we're referring to as grant application

448
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:35,360
support. So at the end of this exercise,

449
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,039
not only will we have a a placemaking

450
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:39,039
guideline document that each of the

451
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:40,559
stakeholders will utilize when they're

452
00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:42,799
making in improvements to their

453
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:45,120
individual facilities, but we will also

454
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:47,520
actually have some initial grant uh

455
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:48,880
documentation that we could submit for a

456
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,120
joint project that we can pursue

457
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:54,799
together or individually with one of the

458
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:56,160
stakeholders. Uh next slide.

459
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:58,320
The here are some of the highlights. We

460
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,640
think it'll take about 12 months from uh

461
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,919
issuance of the notice to proceed. Uh we

462
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,440
have meetings with the committee as I

463
00:18:01,919 --> 00:18:05,280
mentioned and and those are some of the

464
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:09,039
deliverables that that we've kind of

465
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:11,520
glanced over. Next slide.

466
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:13,360
Uh we have signed agreements from Texas

467
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,360
Tech, the University Medical Center and

468
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:16,960
Children's Hospital. Uh the city of El

469
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:18,480
Paso has approved their agreement as

470
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,120
well. So four out of the five are

471
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,480
approved if not signed. And El Paso

472
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:24,640
County took this to commissioner's court

473
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,720
last week and we presented there uh and

474
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,720
they have authorized staff to negotiate

475
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,480
the interlocal agreement with the RMA

476
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,919
and to identify the funding source. So

477
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,960
we will have to go back one more time to

478
00:18:31,919 --> 00:18:35,440
the commissioner's court for

479
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,600
authorization to execute and to pull the

480
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,760
funding for that. But I should note we

481
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,200
are very close to to advancing. Once we

482
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,120
get the county's approval then we'll be

483
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,440
able to sign all five and issue the

484
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:46,960
notice to proceed.

485
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,880
So I'm happy to answer any questions.

486
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,039
Otherwise we've got several action items

487
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,559
for you. The first one would be uh

488
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:53,919
authorizing and these are all through

489
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:55,440
board resolutions authorizing the

490
00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:58,640
execution of work authorization number

491
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,480
seven with H&TB and then the subsequent

492
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,400
uh interlocal agreements with the city,

493
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,520
the county, Texas Tech, Children's

494
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,039
Hospital and uh the county hospital

495
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,799
district. So happy to answer any

496
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:11,039
questions.

497
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:13,200
» Yes, ma'am. One action.

498
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:14,799
» Are there any discussions? Matthew,

499
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,280
» Just a question. [clears throat]

500
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:18,708
And this advanced warning, it's going to

501
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,160
get in the weeds a little bit.

502
00:19:18,708 --> 00:19:25,520
[clears throat] Placem is really broad

503
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:28,400
definition. Um

504
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:31,840
the placem that you imagine get getting

505
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,960
into is sounds like it's going to cover

506
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,720
potentially everything from

507
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,080
architectural standards to building

508
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,480
placement, building massing because

509
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,559
you're answering listed all of that

510
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,080
stuff. Is that going to be in the final

511
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:44,160
product that's provided

512
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,600
» Potentially? So it it really is going to

513
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,600
be dependent upon where the committee

514
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,600
takes this. So we've included quite a

515
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,360
large uh scope and in fact actually

516
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Kelvin is here should you have any

517
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:55,919
questions on the individual scope items.

518
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:59,280
» Um and in fact actually the scope is

519
00:19:55,919 --> 00:20:02,000
included as as the backup for uh the the

520
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,320
underlying item. Um but I think

521
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,559
primarily the focus will be wayfinding

522
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,240
aesthetic improvements uh aesthetic

523
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:08,640
treatments along the corridors and that

524
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,200
sort of thing.

525
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,840
» So for public properties only not

526
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,840
necessarily private. No, actually so

527
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,440
some of these the well the guidelines we

528
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,320
can't force them onto the private

529
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,120
properties, right?

530
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,120
» You could

531
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:24,120
» Well,

532
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:28,000
right? So So we'll we'll develop the

533
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:30,000
guidelines. Now if the city and the

534
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,760
county want to do something with them,

535
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,640
uh that's they certainly could.

536
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,360
» Okay. So all of that yet to come from

537
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,840
the committee.

538
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,159
» Correct.

539
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,720
» Okay. I'll move to approve.

540
00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:42,559
» Any other discussion? I just have a

541
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:46,480
question about funding again.

542
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:48,480
» Um, so we have funding for the group to

543
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,400
get together and decide on what they

544
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,720
want to do. Is that correct? But we

545
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,679
don't have funding for the actual

546
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,919
placement.

547
00:20:53,679 --> 00:20:58,320
» That's correct. So the the funding so

548
00:20:55,919 --> 00:21:00,960
the five partners shared it shared

549
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,280
equally the the total cost of 340,000.

550
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,840
Okay.

551
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,000
» So roughly $68,000 per partner. That

552
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,559
funding will be used to pay H&TB to

553
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,000
develop the guideline document to to for

554
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:11,600
the committee meetings and and to walk

555
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,400
us through this process and develop that

556
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,080
document. Okay.

557
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,080
» But it also creates the grant

558
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,919
application at the back end. So as part

559
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,559
of the process through the through the

560
00:21:17,919 --> 00:21:22,320
planning document, we'll also as a the

561
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:23,679
committee will identify one particular

562
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,600
project that they're most interested in

563
00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:25,919
that they would like to to pursue first.

564
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,840
Okay?

565
00:21:25,919 --> 00:21:29,919
» And we'll create some grant application

566
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,120
documents for that. So that will end up

567
00:21:29,919 --> 00:21:33,440
with a document that we could actually

568
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:35,280
submit through whatever funding source

569
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,919
we're pursuing. So those are the two

570
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,360
primary deliverables. But at the end of

571
00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:42,880
it, you're you're right, there won't be

572
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:44,799
funds for the building of the a thing or

573
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,640
or that sort of thing. It's really the

574
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:47,520
guidance documents and the grant

575
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,520
application.

576
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:53,280
» Okay. And the placement you you're

577
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:56,159
trying to get grants for the actual item

578
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,840
that or whatever is going to be built

579
00:21:56,159 --> 00:22:01,039
» Potentially, right?

580
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:03,760
» Yeah. If the committee identifies um the

581
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:06,320
Reynolds gateway as as the primary

582
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,919
project, then that would be the grant

583
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,360
application that we develop and then and

584
00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:10,799
then either collectively or one of the

585
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:12,000
individual partners could then take that

586
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:12,400
and and pursue funding.

587
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,679
» Okay. Yes,

588
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,159
» Ma'am. That's what I understand.

589
00:22:13,679 --> 00:22:18,400
» And it does it doesn't preclude any of

590
00:22:16,159 --> 00:22:20,240
the partners from using their funds to

591
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,440
fund it should they desire to. Right.

592
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,000
» That's correct. That's correct.

593
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,640
» Okay. It would it would become then a a

594
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,280
project.

595
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,880
» Yes, ma'am.

596
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,480
» Capital project. So does so

597
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,280
um because we have a representative from

598
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:36,480
the no here given the nature of this

599
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:40,960
type of work are there still fun

600
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:45,200
categories available for sort of like

601
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:47,520
you know street activities that short of

602
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,840
the constructing the road but the

603
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:53,280
aesthetic standards and treatments there

604
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,120
used to be some alternative categories.

605
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,039
» Yes ma'am.

606
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:57,520
Sorry for putting on the spot, but

607
00:22:57,039 --> 00:22:58,799
» That's all right.

608
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,360
» That's what happens when you come to a

609
00:22:58,799 --> 00:23:01,520
meeting.

610
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:03,360
» I'm used to it. Sorry. My name is

611
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:06,000
Eduardo Calvin. I'm executive director

612
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:08,480
of the El Paso MO. Uh yes, there are

613
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,799
some some programs that are available

614
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,280
precisely for this type of of projects

615
00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:15,280
like the it's called the TA uh

616
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,919
transportation alternative whatever it's

617
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,679
called. Um but it's uh there are two

618
00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:21,440
opportunities there. one at the local

619
00:23:19,679 --> 00:23:23,760
level where the some funding comes to

620
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,159
the no then we do a call for projects

621
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,640
and we select projects those tend to be

622
00:23:26,159 --> 00:23:30,080
smaller you know dollar amounts and then

623
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,039
there's a second opportunity at the

624
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:35,360
state level that the that text manages

625
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:37,039
that there's more funding available but

626
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:39,280
of course the competition is is uh

627
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:42,080
bigger because it's open at at the state

628
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,760
level and then locally yes we we've you

629
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,799
know bounced off some ideas with with

630
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,880
Raymond about uh maybe we could some of

631
00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:51,440
the depending on the scope of the actual

632
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:54,000
project that is that is uh determined.

633
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:56,080
We could perhaps use maybe CME category

634
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,360
five which is congestion mitigation and

635
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:01,760
and air quality if we can justify um for

636
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:04,880
example you know part of the project it

637
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:09,120
makes you know walking more more

638
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:11,200
attractive um and the super flexible

639
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:13,679
category is seven which is what we use

640
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,279
for ops system projects and and so on.

641
00:24:13,679 --> 00:24:16,559
So there there's some opportunities but

642
00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:18,000
of course you know the funding is

643
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:21,039
» Well they're competitive and I know it's

644
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,679
limited. That's good to know. Okay. So,

645
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:24,480
I do have a motion. Do I have a second?

646
00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:26,240
» I'll second.

647
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,960
» So, I have a motion and second. Any

648
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,240
further discussion? Call for the vote.

649
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,039
All in favor?

650
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,520
» I

651
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:34,480
» I.

652
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:36,400
» Any opposed? Motion passes. All right.

653
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,360
Moving on to item six, discussion and

654
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,200
action on board resolutions authorizing

655
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:43,200
execution of the following instruments

656
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,640
as they relate to the Wilder Aerial

657
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,159
Tramway Project. Item A, amendment to

658
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,720
the project development agreement with

659
00:24:48,159 --> 00:24:54,480
the Texas Park and Wildlife Department

660
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:57,600
and B, work authorization number 46.2

661
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,760
with Atkins Realis USA.

662
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,640
» Okay, this is a another good good news

663
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,480
item. Uh, item 6A is the amendment with

664
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,960
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. We

665
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,880
have an an uh an agreement with them

666
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,200
where we are designing and constructing

667
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,600
the the WER project for them. Uh this

668
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,679
amendment adds another $7 million from

669
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,840
the most recent legislative session.

670
00:25:15,679 --> 00:25:19,039
That $7 million will be focused on the

671
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,200
design and the construction of the

672
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:22,960
tramway itself. So as a reminder, we've

673
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,039
got three pieces to this project. Phase

674
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,880
one, which is has been designed and is

675
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:28,880
currently under construction and should

676
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,400
be done within about a year. Phase two

677
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:34,480
then is the design which is complete uh

678
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,480
of the visitor center at the base

679
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,480
station and the aerial station as well.

680
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,320
And that is unfunded currently. And then

681
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,919
the third piece is the tram itself. And

682
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,640
so this 7 million will go towards the

683
00:25:41,919 --> 00:25:47,039
tram. So item 6A is for the amendment

684
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,840
with parks to to provide those funds to

685
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:52,000
us. And then 6B uh is the work

686
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,960
authorization with Atkins Realis who

687
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,640
will uh support us in pursuit of a tram

688
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,559
provider.

689
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,679
So would recommend approval on this item

690
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:01,760
as well.

691
00:25:59,679 --> 00:26:05,200
» Any questions?

692
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,320
Um if not, I'll call for a motion.

693
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,880
» So move.

694
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,360
» Second.

695
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,000
» We have a motion and a second. All in

696
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:10,400
favor?

697
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,440
» I

698
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,720
» I.

699
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,840
» Any opposed? Motion passes. And

700
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,480
actually, there was a really good

701
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:21,039
article with Paul Foster bringing the um

702
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,640
his committee here and um doing a big

703
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:24,960
promotion for us. So, that was exciting

704
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,600
to see. Yes,

705
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,159
» Um item seven, discussion and action on

706
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,240
a board resolution authorizing those

707
00:26:30,159 --> 00:26:35,039
actions necessary to submit a grant

708
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,120
application for a proposed pedestrian

709
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:38,960
crossing at the medical center of the

710
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:41,520
Americas as part of the text dot

711
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:44,919
offsystem rail grade separation state

712
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,919
fund program.

713
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:48,320
» Okay, this is another interesting

714
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:50,559
project as well. This one came to us

715
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,640
from the medical center of the Americas

716
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:55,039
Foundation. the the chairman of that

717
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,200
organization reached out asking if we

718
00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:59,440
could support uh the pursuit of some

719
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,679
grant funds. So in the last legislative

720
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,600
session, the legislature approved what's

721
00:27:01,679 --> 00:27:06,720
referred to as the Texas offsystem

722
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:09,520
railgrade separation state fund program.

723
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:12,480
So that's $250 million that were set

724
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,440
aside to help communities uh deal with

725
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,880
atgrade crossings of railroad uh

726
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,640
crossings throughout the throughout the

727
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,720
state. These are specifically for

728
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,200
off-state, which means non- techtop

729
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,240
facilities. So, city, local, county

730
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:28,880
roadways, that sort of thing. Um, the

731
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:32,159
MCA Foundation has identified Rick Rick

732
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:37,520
Francis, the crossing at Rick Francis to

733
00:27:32,159 --> 00:27:39,440
be uh a major um concern for them. Uh

734
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,840
this is this is the main roadway that

735
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:44,000
runs parallel to Reynolds. And on either

736
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,919
side, you've got uh a lot of the the

737
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,799
main facilities. You've got the dental

738
00:27:45,919 --> 00:27:50,480
school, the medical school, um the

739
00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:52,799
nursing school. So, you've got quite a

740
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,120
few major uh activities there and I

741
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:57,039
think the cancer center will be uh

742
00:27:55,120 --> 00:28:00,399
located there as well. So, a lot of

743
00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:03,520
activity. In fact, um I've seen video of

744
00:28:00,399 --> 00:28:06,080
uh there are three rail cross three uh

745
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,159
rail lines there that cross at Rick

746
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,640
Francis. One of them I believe is a spur

747
00:28:08,159 --> 00:28:13,600
and and is not used, but the other two

748
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,919
you've got video of two trains stalled

749
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,240
out on those tracks and you've got folks

750
00:28:15,919 --> 00:28:21,039
uh students and and employees of the of

751
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:24,080
the MCA area uh crossing those trains.

752
00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:26,799
So, very dangerous, not ideal. So,

753
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,960
they've asked if we could assist. Um the

754
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:31,760
program itself has a two-step

755
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,679
application process and uh I think we're

756
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,200
ready to go on the submittal in the

757
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:37,360
preliminary applications. The

758
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,440
applications themselves uh will be due

759
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:41,039
November 14th. So I'm asking for

760
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,480
authorization to pursue this grant

761
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:46,640
application uh um

762
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,520
with your support.

763
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,360
» So is this the training you went to?

764
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,880
» Was this in relation to the training you

765
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,480
said you were going to to learn more

766
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,159
about the program and the grant process?

767
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,840
» Yes, ma'am. There was a webinar that Tex

768
00:28:56,159 --> 00:28:59,679
put together and there was a question at

769
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,159
that time whether RMAs could were

770
00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:03,840
eligible entities to to apply. They've

771
00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:05,919
since answered that we can.

772
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,720
» Okay, great. All right, ma'am.

773
00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:10,640
» Um, any questions or discussion? I'll

774
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,159
call for a motion.

775
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,799
» Move to approve.

776
00:29:12,159 --> 00:29:14,640
» Second.

777
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:15,760
» I have a motion and second. All in

00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,799
favor?

779
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,320
» I.

780
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:22,559
» Any opposed? Motion passes.

781
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,640
Um item eight, discussion and action on

782
00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:26,240
board resolutions to authorize execution

783
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,960
of amendments to the following

784
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:31,120
instruments as they relate to the I10

785
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,919
frontage road extension project phase

786
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,720
one. A advanced funding agreement with

787
00:29:33,919 --> 00:29:38,960
the Texas Department of Transportation

788
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,760
and B work authorization number two with

789
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,279
Consort Engineers LLC.

790
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,919
» Okay, this is the project that we are

791
00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:48,159
designing for Texot. This adds uh

792
00:29:45,919 --> 00:29:50,480
westbound frontage lanes from Executive

793
00:29:48,159 --> 00:29:51,840
over to Sullman Park. Um we've been

794
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,480
working with them for quite some time on

795
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:57,360
this project. These amendments um add

796
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,200
additional funding from Texot to add to

797
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,640
geotechnical services that need to be

798
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,320
added for some of the columns that are

799
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,320
out there. We need to go deeper to

800
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,559
identify the soil conditions and in

801
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:11,600
addition to that uh additional design

802
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:14,159
activities to account for u uh streets

803
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:17,120
that are tying into this facility in the

804
00:30:14,159 --> 00:30:18,880
in the uh developed area uh near this.

805
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,679
So that's what you see before you u

806
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,520
under 8A it's a an amendment with text

807
00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:25,840
to provide the additional funding and

808
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,120
then under 8B you've got the work

809
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,880
authorization with console who's

810
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,480
providing the design services for us to

811
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,480
actually add those additional services.

812
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,559
So, I would recommend approval.

813
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,520
» Move to approve.

814
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:36,240
» I have a motion.

815
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,159
» I'll second.

816
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,679
» I have a motion and a second. Any

817
00:30:38,159 --> 00:30:40,799
discussion?

818
00:30:39,679 --> 00:30:41,200
All in favor?

819
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:42,000
» I

820
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,720

821
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,600
» I.

822
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,000
» Any opposed? Motion passes.

823
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,960
Um, number nine, discussion and action

824
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,559
on a board resolution authorizing the

825
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,960
execution of an amendment to the

826
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:57,200
interlocal agreement with El Paso County

827
00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:00,880
for the Canot Roads and Sidewalks

828
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:03,039
Project Colonial Border Grant.

829
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,120
» This item is actually a bit of a cleanup

830
00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:07,120
item there. Um, some time ago, you

831
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:10,240
remember, you may recall the county

832
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,919
auditor f auditor team asked for more

833
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,440
explicit language within our interlocal

834
00:31:11,919 --> 00:31:16,000
agreements that would authorize the use

835
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,000
of project funds for RMA administrative

836
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,279
expenses. So, what you see under this

837
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,480
item is just an amendment to our

838
00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:22,000
interlocal that allows for that

839
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,000
explicitly. So, I would recommend

840
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
approval.

841
00:31:25,039 --> 00:31:26,640
» I have a motion.

842
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,720

» Any opposed? Motion passes.

848
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,880
Um item 10, discussion and action on

849
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,279
board resolutions authorizing the

850
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:44,320
execution of amendments to the following

851
00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:47,519
instruments as they relate to the val um

852
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:49,919
valley chili road project. A interlocal

853
00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:51,919
agreement with the village of Venton and

854
00:31:49,919 --> 00:31:55,039
B work authorization number two with

855
00:31:51,919 --> 00:31:58,159
Huelet Solers Inc.

856
00:31:55,039 --> 00:32:00,000
» Okay. Uh item 10A then this is a project

857
00:31:58,159 --> 00:32:02,720
that we're developing on behalf of W of

858
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,200
the village of Vinton. Item 10A

859
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,720
recognizes a change in the way that the

860
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,720
village of Inon was originally funding

861
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,799
this project. So it allows us to use

862
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:15,039
different funding sources. That's 10A.

863
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:16,559
10B then uh is an amendment to the Huitt

864
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:18,080
Zer's work authorization. They're the

865
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:20,080
folks that did the design work on the

866
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,320
roadway as let me take a step back. This

867
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,760
project uh includes two distinct

868
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,399
components. the roadway which we

869
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,640
designed and will construct using normal

870
00:32:26,399 --> 00:32:30,320
MO federal funding and then there's a

871
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,279
water component that is being funded

872
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:36,320
through Congresswoman Escobar's u

873
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:38,000
office. Uh the water component was

874
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,799
designed by the village of Vinton

875
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,360
directly with a firm by the name of Park

876
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:44,640
Hill. Uh we need Park Hill to be able to

877
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,640
provide design services during

878
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,080
construction while we're managing the

879
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,240
entire construction. So we're bringing

880
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,240
Parkhill in through this work

881
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,360
authorization uh amendment with you. to

882
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,679
its dollars. So that's what you see

883
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:58,080
under item 10B. So I would recommend the

884
00:32:55,679 --> 00:33:00,159
approval of both of these items.

885
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,000
» No questions. I'll move to approve.

886
00:33:00,159 --> 00:33:02,880
» We have a motion.

887
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,640

900
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,880
» This is a project where we are among

other things we're doing rightway

902
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,240

903
00:33:34,399 --> 00:33:38,720
This project is at the end the east end

904
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,880
of Pelicano and we are doing rightway

905
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,159
acquisitions but we need survey services

906
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,039
as well. So that's what you're seeing

907
00:33:42,159 --> 00:33:47,760
being added here under item 11, $4,800

908
00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:49,679
for survey services under Atkins. So

909
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,559
would recommend approval.

918
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:05,919
» Any opposed? Motion passes.

919
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:07,679
Um item 12, discussion and action on

920
00:34:05,919 --> 00:34:10,000
board resolutions authorizing the

921
00:34:07,679 --> 00:34:12,399
execution of amendments to the following

922
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,119
work authorizations with H&TB

923
00:34:12,399 --> 00:34:18,240
Corporation to extend at the time of

924
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:20,000
performance for A number three for the

925
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:22,800
automated weather observing system

926
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:26,000
project. B number six for Homestead

927
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:29,440
Meadows shared use path project. C

928
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,159
number eight for the Howard Low project

929
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:35,040
and num and D number 10 for the Alamo

930
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:37,119
Alto phase 4 project.

931
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,520
This one is also a bit of house uh

932
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:42,240
keeping. Uh these particular work

933
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,440
authorizations had explicit uh schedules

934
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:45,040
tied to them within the work

935
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,720
authorization. So we've expanded those

936
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,720
those timelines because each of these

937
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:50,720
require additional time uh to be

938
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:53,200
completed. They do not increase the the

939
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:54,879
fees. They just extend the time. We've

940
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,320
also added some language in these and

941
00:34:54,879 --> 00:34:57,920
will include additional language in

942
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,200
future work authorizations to allow for

943
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:03,359
an administrative uh uh uh fix of of

944
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:07,520
this issue. So I would recommend

945
00:35:03,359 --> 00:35:11,720
approval of this item as well.

946
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,720
» So any discussion?

947
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,800
» I have a motion.

948
00:35:13,839 --> 00:35:16,480
» Second.

949
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,680
» I have a motion and second. All in

950
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:22,880
favor? I

951
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:25,200
» I Any any opposed? Motion passes.

952
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,119
Um, number 13, presentation and

953
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,440
discussion on change orders recently

954
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:31,680
approved by the executive director for

955
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,280
the Fabins airport hangar expansion

956
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,119
project.

957
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:38,400
We've got a quick PowerPoint for you on

958
00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:41,040
this one. Um, as a reminder and for the

959
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,720
benefit of Mr. Lindner, we've uh the the

960
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,480
board some time ago approved a board

961
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:48,720
resolution that authorized the executive

962
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:50,640
director ex to execute u change orders

963
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:52,400
um under a certain amount. So, next

964
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,920
slide.

965
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,079
So you'll see here we have two change

966
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:58,640
orders that were approved u since the

967
00:35:56,079 --> 00:36:00,320
last time we met. Go ahead. And it deals

968
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,560
with the Fabins airport hanger expansion

969
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,400
project. So if you'll skip skip that

970
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,000
this is part of your backup. So you can

971
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,160
spend some time with it or give me a

972
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,160
call if you have any questions. U since

973
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:13,200
our last board meeting we I've approved

974
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:15,119
two two separate change orders number 17

975
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,200
which added temporary electric

976
00:36:15,119 --> 00:36:19,520
generators at the hangers. This these

977
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,200
were required because the U electrical

978
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:24,000
lines had not been connected yet, but we

979
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,599
needed to test the the hanger doors. So,

980
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,920
we brought in those electric generators.

981
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:31,040
Didn't want to slow the project. That uh

982
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,640
cost uh just shy of $5,000. Uh

983
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,079
incidentally, as with all change orders

984
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,599
with the county projects, the county

985
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:37,520
reviews and approves the change orders

986
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:40,000
before I execute. So, that was approved

987
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,240
by the county before. And number 18 as

988
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,520
well, which uh added heaters to the

989
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:45,920
project, which were not originally

990
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:48,560
included. Uh the county did want those

991
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,920
added. So that added another $10,000. So

992
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,920
both of these were approved. There's no

993
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:56,200
action required. This is just required

994
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,200
of me to to brief you on it.

995
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:06,800
Okay. Any questions?

996
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:08,560
If not, then I'll move on to item 14.

997
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,320
Discussion and action on the following

998
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,040
reports for the fourth quarter of the

999
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:15,520
fiscal year 2025.

1000
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:18,880
operating budget, investment report, El

1001
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:20,640
Paso Bike Share, Sun Cycle Program, and

1002
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:23,040
the use of local resources from

1003
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,320
engineering consultant teams. Good

1004
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,680
morning. Robert Stutter, director of

1005
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,599
finance. For the record, yes, the

1006
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,480
finance committee met back on October

1007
00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:31,839
21st to review these items in depth. Um,

1008
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,359
as we've done previously, we're going to

1009
00:37:31,839 --> 00:37:36,240
ask for the board's approval, but don't

1010
00:37:33,359 --> 00:37:38,240
plan to go over them in detail. Um,

1011
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:40,000
we'll have Mr. Lindner at our meeting in

1012
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:41,920
January. he'll get to jump right into it

1013
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,240
with the audit and I'll talk about more

1014
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:46,720
uh more of that in item 15A but do

1015
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:47,920
recommend approval of the items.

1016
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:50,480
» Do you have any comments? No.

1017
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:52,960
» Um we just had a Monica and I had a

1018
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:56,800
questions about some line items which uh

1019
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,960
Robert and uh Raymond were able to

1020
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:02,320
expand on and explain what what they

1021
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:05,280
were. We did talk about uh what on the

1022
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:08,320
bike share program um the the bikes that

1023
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,680
are being um retired what we they were

1024
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,480
going to do with it. In fact, they had

1025
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:16,320
had some interest in another community

1026
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:17,760
purchasing those or uh taking those over

1027
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,079
for us. I don't know if you all want to

1028
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,280
know about that, but other than that, we

1029
00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:22,320
approved everything.

1030
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,960
» Okay.

1031
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,400
» Uh so the the other community is still

1032
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,920
in development. We'll see if it happens

1033
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,520
or not, but we had some initial

1034
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,320
discussions, but we're still a little

1035
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,920
ways off from something concrete.

1036
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,400
» So, typically, if the committee has

1037
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,400
vetted them and looked at them in detail

1038
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,240
and approved them, we don't go through

1039
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,079
the presentations unless there's

1040
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:44,480
questions or concerns about any of the

1041
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:46,560
reports. Um, so if there's no other

1042
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:49,520
discussion, I'll entertain a motion to

1043
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:51,280
accept the reports.

1044
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,320
» I'll move to accept the reports.

1045
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,880
» Okay.

1046
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,640
» Second.

1047
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,520
» I have a motion and second. All in

1048
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:55,920
favor?

1049
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:56,720
» I

1050
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,520
» I

1051
00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:00,720
» I.

1052
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:03,680
» Any opposed? Motion passes. Then moving

1053
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:05,200
to the last item, number 15, staff

1054
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:09,200
reports.

1055
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:13,040
A status of the 2025 annual audit. B,

1056
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:15,520
CRRMA project manager job posting. And

1057
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,560
C, status of the Pelicano Drive widening

1058
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,160
project.

1059
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,240
» Okay. So, Robert Sudter, again, I'll be

1060
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,079
giving you the update on a uh so we've

1061
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:23,599
not begun the audit yet. uh we knew it

1062
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:26,320
was going to be a late start based on

1063
00:39:23,599 --> 00:39:29,280
our uh audit

1064
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,480
uh auditing firm and uh and where we

1065
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,119
stand, but we we should be in good

1066
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,480
shape. Almost every single PBC is ready

1067
00:39:33,119 --> 00:39:37,359
to go. So, we should hit the ground

1068
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:39,280
running. Um Miss Wilson, we talked about

1069
00:39:37,359 --> 00:39:41,040
needing to reschedu the January board

1070
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,200
meeting and that we would do so at the

1071
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,800
December board meeting. So, uh if you

1072
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,720
can come with your calendars prepared to

1073
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,880
look at dates probably the last week of

1074
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:51,119
January. And that again is to help that

1075
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,880
we meet the city's timelines for turning

1076
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:55,119
our audit into them because we're a

1077
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,880
component unit o of the city. So if we

1078
00:39:55,119 --> 00:39:58,480
wait till February, it really squeezes

1079
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,240
the city because then they only have a

1080
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,320
couple of weeks before their deadline is

1081
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:04,720
the end of February. So it helps them a

1082
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,880
lot if we can move up our our uh push

1083
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:08,960
back our our January board meeting. Um

1084
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:12,400
and so we'll schedule that at the

1085
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:14,800
December board meeting.

1086
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,560
» Then I I'll take the last two items. 15B

1087
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,800
relates to the project manager job

1088
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,560
posting. So you you each received a copy

1089
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,119
of that. It's also part of your backup.

1090
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,040
Uh we have closed that that application

1091
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:26,720
period and we received 26 resumes. So

1092
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,560
we're we're happy with that number. Uh

1093
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:31,920
so Robert and I will start uh going

1094
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:33,200
through those very soon. Uh 15C then is

1095
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,880
the status of the Pelicano Drive

1096
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,800
widening project. So we haven't talked

1097
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:40,960
about this one in a little while. Uh as

1098
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:42,320
a reminder um we have an agreement, we

1099
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,160
have come to an agreement between the

1100
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,240
county, the RMA and the Shy company.

1101
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,079
We've uh they have executed their

1102
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:49,760
construction contract with the the

1103
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:51,280
takeover firm which is a group by the

1104
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,640
name of hot construction which we use on

1105
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,560
other projects. We're very happy to have

1106
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,839
them on board. They have started work.

1107
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,480
They've installed their their

1108
00:40:55,839 --> 00:41:00,000
construction office on site. Uh they've

1109
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,359
replaced all of the traffic control

1110
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,960
devices um and uh and they've done

1111
00:41:03,359 --> 00:41:06,240
cleanup as well which helped that

1112
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,000
community out there. The weeds had

1113
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:10,480
gotten quite out of control. So that was

1114
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:13,280
very helpful. Um in fact they've taken

1115
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,880
over control of the site. So there was a

1116
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,280
an accident out there that knocked down

1117
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,599
the one of the street lights and so they

1118
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:22,800
took control of that as well. They are

1119
00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:25,200
currently working on survey uh for the

1120
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,720
entire roadway for this phase one. So

1121
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,960
that's underway now. They believe that

1122
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:31,040
they should begin construction uh

1123
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,480
activities on the roadway in December,

1124
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,040
but currently they're working on the

1125
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,480
ponds. First is the one by the school

1126
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,680
and that's a safety issue for those

1127
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,520
students out there. So, we're happy to

1128
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,280
see them working on that now and then

1129
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,359
they'll move over to a pond that is

1130
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,359
further down the road. Uh, that would be

1131
00:41:43,359 --> 00:41:47,760
next. But again, roadway activities

1132
00:41:45,359 --> 00:41:50,720
start in December. And then one other

1133
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:53,599
note, the county asked that we notify

1134
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:56,079
the community of of the the restart of

1135
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:58,880
work. So, we've sent out a postcard to

1136
00:41:56,079 --> 00:42:01,599
approximately 2,000 folks within half a

1137
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,520
mile of Pelicano itself. So, those

1138
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:05,200
should be hitting mailboxes today if

1139
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,200
they haven't already. So, that should be

1140
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,760
out there and we direct them to our

1141
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:13,040
website which has been updated and and

1142
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:15,119
we've actually brought on um an outreach

1143
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,040
group that will help us retool the web

1144
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:19,280
page so we can have regular construction

1145
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,839
updates on on the project. So, that that

1146
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,680
will be much more uh updated much more

1147
00:42:21,839 --> 00:42:24,960
frequently. So, that's all I have. I

1148
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,480
just wanted to give you a bit of an

1149
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,000
update on on what's happened with with

1150
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,680
that project. Oh, I should mention too.

1151
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,119
So, we're talking about phase one, which

1152
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:35,200
is the um westbound lanes from Air

1153
00:42:33,119 --> 00:42:37,280
Coupoop back to 375. That's important

1154
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,119
because the other piece eastbound from

1155
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,880
the 375 out to Air Coupoop is

1156
00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:42,800
essentially done already. So, that will

1157
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,560
complete that that component. The rest

1158
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,160
of the work that was not completed by

1159
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,839
the original contractor or won't be

1160
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,520
completed by this replacement contractor

1161
00:42:47,839 --> 00:42:51,680
is considered what we're calling phase

1162
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,599
two. The phase 2 design plans are

1163
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,680
currently under underway and we should

1164
00:42:53,599 --> 00:42:57,599
have those in hand late this month or or

1165
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,200
sometime into December. Once we have

1166
00:42:57,599 --> 00:43:01,200
those, we'll share those with the shy

1167
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,280
company. The shy company will get

1168
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,720
pricing from hawk and then at that point

1169
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,640
we will know the full exposure of the

1170
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:08,560
shy and we will begin uh full

1171
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,400
negotiations with them on how to

1172
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,160
complete the the entire project. So

1173
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,480
that's coming up as well. Concurrent

1174
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,079
paths. Happy to answer any questions but

1175
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,839
uh that's all I have for you. No no no

1176
00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:19,724
action required.

1177
00:43:17,839 --> 00:43:20,960
» Any question comment?

1178
00:43:19,724 --> 00:43:22,960
[clears throat] So the timeline that you

1179
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,440
laid out, I just want to make sure that

1180
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:28,000
our next update isn't in March or April

1181
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,000
because I'd like to see

1182
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,720
in some form what the construction

1183
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,200
estimate comes back at the engineer the

1184
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:37,520
engineering estimate and then I'd like

1185
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,599
to see us give the shity some date

1186
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,680
certain to respond by as to whether or

1187
00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:43,680
not they're going to accept that price

1188
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:46,560
and then the board at that point can

1189
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:48,720
decide if they want to do anything to at

1190
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:51,119
that point. But but I just I don't want

1191
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:52,640
to wait forever on the shy because of

1192
00:43:51,119 --> 00:43:54,240
how long it's already been.

1193
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,119
» Understood. So we can do that. We'll

1194
00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:59,520
bring once we get the design set

1195
00:43:57,119 --> 00:44:01,680
finalized, we'll bring you the engineers

1196
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,200
opinion of probable construction cost

1197
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,040
and then we'll we'll talk through with

1198
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,720
you all what kind of a timeline we want

1199
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,240
to we'll want to provide to the shity

1200
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:09,119
company. Happy to do that. Thank you.

1201
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:12,000
Yes, sir.

1202
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:13,760
» And the other thing is

1203
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,480
is the shity company still sort of

1204
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,119
hanging it out there on an appeal? Yes,

1205
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,359
ma'am.

1206
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:22,160
» So, at the time we get all this, maybe

1207
00:44:19,359 --> 00:44:23,760
we also need to have our attorney so we

1208
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,720
can find out what's going on with that

1209
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,160
appeal.

1210
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:27,920
» Yes, ma'am. Yeah, we can do that. So,

1211
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:31,920
the and I should have mentioned that as

1212
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:33,920
well. The the we in the we're in the

1213
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,680
district court on the appeal. Uh they

1214
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,200
filed their documents and ours were due

1215
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,800
I want to say two weeks back. So, we

1216
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,839
filed our our response. So, now it's

1217
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,240
it's with the court.

1218
00:44:39,839 --> 00:44:43,839
» Okay. But but I'll I'll once we get the

1219
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:45,680
plan set complete and we have the

1220
00:44:43,839 --> 00:44:47,680
opinion of probable cost, construction

1221
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,760
cost from the engineers, uh we'll bring

1222
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,720
it back with an executive session and

1223
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,520
provide a full briefing.

1224
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:52,800
» That would be really good.

1225
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,920
» Seek guidance. Yes, ma'am. We can do

1226
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,920
that.

1227
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,920
» Okay, good. Thanks. That's very helpful.

1228
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:01,680
And then the other thing that's really

1229
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:05,359
not on here, but um where are we with

1230
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:07,119
our communications group?

1231
00:45:05,359 --> 00:45:08,960
» Are they are they doing stuff?

1232
00:45:07,119 --> 00:45:11,119
» Yes, ma'am. So, we've got them on board.

1233
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,119
Uh, the first task was this postcard cuz

1234
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:15,040
that was pretty immediate. And so,

1235
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:16,960
that's out the door. We have our

1236
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,640
newsletter, which is we do quarterly,

1237
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,920
and that'll be after this board meeting.

1238
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,079
So, within the next two weeks, that

1239
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,760
newsletter will go out. Uh, and I

1240
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:25,839
believe we have a third item that

1241
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:28,640
escapes me that that they are about to

1242
00:45:25,839 --> 00:45:30,319
start work on. I apologize. I'll I'll

1243
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,280
send an email followup on that third

1244
00:45:30,319 --> 00:45:32,480
item. But yes,

1245
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,359
» Because there's a lot of good stuff in

1246
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:38,720
here, particularly with the MCA and the

1247
00:45:35,359 --> 00:45:40,480
railroad project that are sort of um

1248
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:42,400
different from what we've done, plus

1249
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,040
some of the work we're doing with Tex

1250
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:43,599
now.

1251
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,240
» Yes, ma'am.

1252
00:45:43,599 --> 00:45:48,400
» Um the the tramways coming to a closure,

1253
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:50,000
that's a big success. And then just

1254
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,520
really highlighting all these like

1255
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,040
smaller pro well, they're not small

1256
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,200
projects, but the projects in the

1257
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,760
smaller communities. So, I really want

1258
00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:00,079
to make sure that the the newsletter is

1259
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,240
very meaty and substantive.

1260
00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:04,640
um really provides a detailed scope and

1261
00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:07,119
scale of the effort our our work that is

1262
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,560
in progress coming to closure. I think

1263
00:46:07,119 --> 00:46:10,000
it'd be a good time to update on

1264
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,480
Pelicano.

1265
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,000
» Yes, ma'am.

1266
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,640
» Give them a little bit of timeline on

1267
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:17,119
that um because you know that's a

1268
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:20,720
project of interest to a lot of people

1269
00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:24,480
and um Yeah. So, and the other thing is

1270
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:27,200
on the newsletter the stakeholder list.

1271
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:29,359
» Um, could you share that with us because

1272
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,160
maybe we have ideas of people to add to

1273
00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:30,560
that?

1274
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,079
» Yes, ma'am.

1275
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,560
» I just want to make sure it's as I mean

1276
00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:36,640
since it's an electronic communications,

1277
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:39,440
I want to make sure as many like groups

1278
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:41,440
out there as possible um interested

1279
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,599
parties have access to that.

1280
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,520
» Yes, ma'am. Okay. Not I don't want to

1281
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:47,040
micromanage it, but I've not really seen

1282
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,640
it. And I know every now and then we

1283
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,960
talk and it's like make sure we're doing

1284
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,079
this, this, and this. So, I think as we

1285
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:56,480
you know, we kind of keep the

1286
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:58,319
stakeholder list um updated and fluid.

1287
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,960
Um then there's opportunities and I

1288
00:46:58,319 --> 00:47:02,480
think our project um consultants maybe

1289
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,240
you can look at that too. You may have

1290
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,640
ideas of because you do a lot of

1291
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:08,400
outreach too of like interested parties

1292
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:11,119
that we want to make sure like are aware

1293
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,520
of stuff that we're doing.

1294
00:47:11,119 --> 00:47:12,560
Okay,

1295
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,720
» We can do that.

1296
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,680
» Okay. Um, is there a need for an

1297
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:16,640
executive session?

1298
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,720
» No, ma'am.

1299
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:21,119
» Okay, so there's no further business.

1300
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:22,240
Um, and so I'll entertain a motion to

1301
00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:24,319

1302
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:25,599
» I move to adjourn.

1303
00:47:24,319 --> 00:47:26,240
» I have a motion.

1304
00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:28,079
