1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:12,540
All right. I'm going to go ahead and call this meeting to order at 401, Madam Clerk, would you please call roll. Yes, commission our de-drick. Or council member.

2
00:00:14,140 --> 00:00:24,560
Council member de-drick. Here. Council member, dynas. Here. Council member, temple. Here. And, Acting Mayor, Carwin. Here, yes, of course.

3
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:35,320
All right, so let us do our flag solicit, Commissioner Diedrich, would you please lead us in the flag solicit?

4
00:00:35,540 --> 00:00:37,260
Do it in your Commissioner's voice, and

5
00:00:56,740 --> 00:00:59,160
of course, he's a council member, we all know that.

6
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:06,860
All right, so here we are on a special meeting for the discussion of fiscal year 2627,

7
00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:12,420
capital improvement program, mid-cycle budget review, we're very excited for this.

8
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:16,960
So could I please ask a director Hickey to introduce the item?

9
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:22,240
Yes, so good afternoon.

10
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:27,320
Acting Mayor, members of the Council, city staff, members of the public.

11
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:33,760
It's my pleasure to be here tonight to introduce the mid-cycle review of the CIP program.

12
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:41,060
And so as the council knows, we adopted a two-year budget last June, which covered fiscal year 2526.

13
00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:47,880
We're now in the process of updating the second year of the budget, which is fiscal year 2627.

14
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,180
And so, departments have been working diligently, putting their requests together.

15
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:55,700
We've been meeting with the departments with the executive office.

16
00:01:55,940 --> 00:02:01,020
And so part of that process, too, is to come back to the council with some proposed updates for

17
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:05,300
the CIP part of the budget, part of the cycle.

18
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:12,240
And so the CIP program actively currently has 69 active projects.

19
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,900
There was $14.3 million in the original budget that was adopted by the council last year.

20
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,820
That was for nine projects for fiscal year 2627.

21
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,820
And so Nick is going to walk us through the proposed updates, but just kind of a spoiler alert.

22
00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:35,520
We're looking for $5.7 million of additional funding for six projects.

23
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,980
Five of those projects are existing projects that we're just asking for additional money for.

24
00:02:41,260 --> 00:02:51,980
The sixth project is a new project, but it's sort of connected to an existing project that will help bring that project to completion.

25
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:57,200
So with that, I will turn it over to Nick and he can walk us through the workshop.

26
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:57,760
Thank you.

27
00:02:59,450 --> 00:03:00,850
Thank you, Travis.

28
00:03:01,410 --> 00:03:07,190
Good afternoon, Acting Mayor and Carlin and Council Members, Nick Fiddler, Public Works Director for the City.

29
00:03:08,510 --> 00:03:16,210
Tonight, we will be going through as Travis indicated the fiscal year 26, 27 mid-cycle budget presentation if I can have that brought it.

30
00:03:21,790 --> 00:03:26,790
This little chart is showing us where we're at today, April 15, 2026.

31
00:03:27,130 --> 00:03:28,930
We're doing our CIP community workshop.

32
00:03:28,930 --> 00:03:42,330
After today, we will be moving into our May 7th, 2026 CIP budget to quality of life oversight committee and the May 20th back to the council for our main budget workshop,

33
00:03:42,790 --> 00:03:54,430
May 27th, CIP budget to planning commission and then June 3rd, if all goes well, we'll be working again, CIP public hearing and budget adoption process.

34
00:03:54,430 --> 00:03:58,190
So a lot of little steps to get through, but we're excited to get there.

35
00:03:59,690 --> 00:04:04,290
So this is a slide you've seen recently, just a couple of months ago we went through the,

36
00:04:04,290 --> 00:04:11,270
what the active projects that we've been working on in our CIP program as Travis has mentioned.

37
00:04:11,510 --> 00:04:12,850
We have 69 projects.

38
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:15,930
13 are in the transportation.

39
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:19,470
We do have one on hold, the Bailey Park Boulevard.

40
00:04:19,470 --> 00:04:40,950
We have seven projects in our pavement management program and four in our traffic signals, three in drainage, ten active projects in our public facilities with one on hold, the above ground fuel station, and then three in our studies and then moving on to the next page as they continue to grow.

41
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:51,230
We have 12 projects in our street improvements, 13 in our parks, recreation and trails, and two in our IT.

42
00:04:52,090 --> 00:05:03,650
Right now we have 41 projects that are in the planning to design phase 16 projects that are in construction with 10 being completed and the two that I had mentioned that are on hold.

43
00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:04,670
So,

44
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:35,440
this is the, Travis has mentioned we had had a previously adopted a budget of 14.2 million for various projects within the 26, 27 as he had stated, we are in the second, or moving into our second year of a two year cycle, the projects listed above were what were previously approved today, we're going to be looking at some additional projects or additional projects and additional funding to existing projects.

45
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,180
Well,

46
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:46,820
this is where we get into where we're requesting the $5.7 million that Travis gave the spoiler to.

47
00:05:47,660 --> 00:05:59,700
As you can see, we have a total of $99.7 million in active capital improvement projects through fiscal year 2526.

48
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,060
A lot of that is carryover.

49
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:07,080
We did not approve appropriate $99 million in fiscal year 2526.

50
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:22,880
But this accounts for some of the larger projects that we're working on, for instance, the Bradley Road Bridge, which is a roughly $20 million project, and a lot of the bigger projects that were continue to accumulate monies for to go through construction.

51
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:28,480
So, the previous page showed the 2627 adopted.

52
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,760
This is just broken down into category.

53
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,540
You can see the 14.26 million, again, at this location.

54
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:39,620
And then what we're requesting at fiscal year 2627,

55
00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:43,500
mid-cycle budget request is 5.7 million,

56
00:06:43,740 --> 00:06:47,240
2.5 million being in the pavement management program,

57
00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:50,440
and 3.2 million in the parks,

58
00:06:50,440 --> 00:07:06,340
registration and trails program, and if you add all this together, we're now looking at a $119 million capital improvement program to continue to build the infrastructure within our community and maintain our community infrastructure.

59
00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:07,520
So,

60
00:07:10,350 --> 00:07:14,490
the first projects we'll be looking at are pavement management program.

61
00:07:14,750 --> 00:07:21,650
The two little slides on either side are what are proposed for the fiscal year 627.

62
00:07:22,190 --> 00:07:28,970
The projects in the purple on the left hand side are Cape Sill, Slurry Sill projects.

63
00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:37,110
Those are both off of Holland, one on the left hand side is the northwest corner of Holland and

64
00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:42,750
Bradley and the one on the right hand side is Holland Road, just east of Menophe.

65
00:07:43,410 --> 00:07:48,750
And then we're looking at on the right hand side of the screen is Bradley Road and that

66
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:55,150
is from our proposed Bradley Road bridge crossing all the way up to Cherry Hills to kind

67
00:07:55,150 --> 00:08:03,630
of help complete that improvements for the project as we're continuing to complete out the bridge

68
00:08:03,630 --> 00:08:05,550
over the Salt Creek Trail.

69
00:08:05,550 --> 00:08:12,570
And those, again, those have already been approved, those were in the original 2627 budget request.

70
00:08:13,210 --> 00:08:21,490
So moving into the 267 budget request, we're looking at 1.5 million for slurry sales.

71
00:08:22,510 --> 00:08:31,030
And 1.4 million will be coming from a quality of life and 60,000 out of measure A. And then

72
00:08:31,030 --> 00:08:34,150
And if we look on the right-hand side of the screen, we're looking at local roads,

73
00:08:34,330 --> 00:08:35,770
AC resurfacing program.

74
00:08:37,370 --> 00:08:43,310
We have a combination of a million dollars out of various funding sources from gas tax

75
00:08:43,310 --> 00:08:48,010
measure A and RMRA, which is the SB1 gas tax.

76
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:54,690
If you guys remember, we just had our PMP program not too long ago to update as we were going

77
00:08:54,690 --> 00:09:04,330
through that the program indicated that we should be spending about $10.6 million to maintain a PCI of 75.

78
00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:10,730
Historically, we've been programming about $4 million towards that program.

79
00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:20,710
This request is to help us get closer to that $10.6 million, but just know that the $6 million isn't everything that we're providing for

80
00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:35,090
maintenance, payment management, as you guys are aware we have a lot of development that in our community that does also provide some efforts to improve the quality of our payments.

81
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:41,850
Whenever a tract comes in, they are also resurfacing or reconstructing roadways.

82
00:09:41,850 --> 00:09:53,130
is a lot of our bigger CIP projects, the roadway improvements, for instance, the Holland Road over crossing that project added a significant amount of pavement rehab.

83
00:09:53,550 --> 00:10:06,850
If you take the sections of Holland Road that we reded from hand over to analog and then the sections from Holland back to the freeway.

84
00:10:06,850 --> 00:10:33,430
Okay, so those type of projects we still are also improving existing infrastructure so that does help us bridge that gap to the 10.6 million, but the overall goal is to continue to try to build up and maintain that 75% and by doing that we're requesting the additional $2.5 million this fiscal year to bring a total of $6 million to the program.

85
00:10:34,170 --> 00:10:38,530
just dedicated purely to pavement management.

86
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:50,040
So a one key note would like to point out, we are proposing 1.4 million of quality of life revenues.

87
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:56,760
That is why we do have to go to the quality of life measure committee coming up.

88
00:10:57,020 --> 00:11:06,780
But also we may need to revisit those figures as the year in closes out to ensure that the revenue was still there.

89
00:11:06,780 --> 00:11:12,600
If the revenues are not there, we will look to replace that funding with a different source.

90
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:27,180
So these are three existing projects that our community services division are proposing to add additional funding to the Gail Web Breast Room.

91
00:11:27,860 --> 00:11:33,920
You can see that already approved to date is 550,000 out of various funding sources.

92
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:41,000
is we are requesting $86,152 out of our diff parks for various.

93
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,340
This will help complete that project, the way to add a little bit more sewer infrastructure

94
00:11:46,340 --> 00:11:52,140
that needed to go into that project so that that will help us put in the permanent sewer system

95
00:11:52,140 --> 00:12:01,400
that way we can have a fully functional restroom, it would not be a septic tank type system.

96
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:11,060
And then for the CIP, 2416, 12-value nature park, this is to complete the 12-value nature park construction.

97
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,660
We're asking for an additional $2 million.

98
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:31,200
You can see that we've already had program $1.5 million, $750,000 of that being a grant, roughly 50,000 in parks and

99
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:42,180
is from the quimbee, so that will bring that project total up to $3.5 million and that is anticipated what is needed to complete that project in construction.

100
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:50,000
And then another park space improvement, this is for the Sun City, green space construction.

101
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:58,020
You could see that we had roughly $687,000, a combination of quimbee and grant funds.

102
00:12:58,020 --> 00:13:05,020
And we're requesting a million dollars out of our Diff Park city wide program to bring that project up to

103
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:14,560
1.6 almost 1.7 million dollars. And again, that was is what is anticipated to be necessary to complete the construction of that project as well.

104
00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:24,340
And then lastly, we do have a new request. This was to help facilitate a lot of the new development that's going around our

105
00:13:24,340 --> 00:13:33,080
our Central Park, you're familiar with the Central Park Amphitheater Project.

106
00:13:34,010 --> 00:13:46,360
This will help enhance that project by improving the lawn and seating area around the amphitheater to create more of a visual and

107
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:52,560
an audio experience. Right now it kind of the grass turf area flattens out as you get

108
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:57,820
further away from the amphitheater. It makes it harder for the people in the back of

109
00:13:57,820 --> 00:14:02,820
the crowd to see and hear the program. So what we're proposing is to create a little

110
00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:08,580
bit more of a slightly elevated turf area to give the people that are in the back of the

111
00:14:08,580 --> 00:14:13,640
audience the ability to see over the people in the front and just help complete that overall

112
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:21,600
sound. And also to complete the overall project, the whole area itself. We have a lot of investment

113
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,520
within this area. We just completed the Civic Center parking lot which will support events and

114
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:33,680
venues for the amphitheater. We're almost complete with the pedestrian bridge crossing which will help

115
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:43,380
integrate the commercial areas to the east of Han and to the west of Han to gather into the

116
00:14:43,380 --> 00:14:50,000
amphitheater space so it was this request we're asking for $150,000 to make some landscape

117
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:57,020
enhancements which will also include some trees for shade and help sound for the adjacent

118
00:14:57,020 --> 00:14:59,980
neighbors and visibility to the adjacent neighbors.

119
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:29,800
Just to make an overall better atmosphere for that entire project or that whole area. Just to go back for the recap of the funding requests. So we're looking at the pavement management program of a total of 2.5 million broken up on the right-hand side of all the different funding sources and the same thing, again, for the parks, trails, and recreation.

120
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:42,840
for a total of 5.7, $36 million with the only one project being the Central Park lawn seating and landscape improvements.

121
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:47,660
And I forgot to mention that was Quimby funds that were proposing for that project.

122
00:15:49,990 --> 00:16:00,470
So recommended action is to review the Capital Improvement Program fiscal year 26, 27 mid-cycle budget review presentation and provide feedback to staff.

123
00:16:00,470 --> 00:16:06,070
So with that, I would open it up for questions and comments.

124
00:16:07,290 --> 00:16:08,430
Thank you, Director Fiddler.

125
00:16:09,090 --> 00:16:14,450
Well, now is the time when we can ask questions of staff before we get into discussion of it.

126
00:16:14,570 --> 00:16:19,170
So council members, do we have any questions for staff on the technical aspect of things or

127
00:16:19,170 --> 00:16:21,690
the governmental aspect of things?

128
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:22,010
A

129
00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:30,850
couple of things, Nick, you have one of the payment management program,

130
00:16:32,510 --> 00:16:36,790
the manufacturing road resurfacing from Simpson to McCall is under construction.

131
00:16:37,730 --> 00:16:44,590
Where is, but I drove that today, I didn't see it, it is complete where there should have been a little

132
00:16:44,590 --> 00:16:47,490
asterisk next to it that's substantially complete.

133
00:16:47,710 --> 00:16:50,270
It's just finally now at the construction document.

134
00:16:50,270 --> 00:16:59,630
Okay, yeah, you're right, it's it's it's dying it's we just have to work through the whole notice a completion filing process before we actually take it off the list.

135
00:16:59,630 --> 00:17:11,850
But Simpson goes your time from Simpson all the way back to my call is that when you're looking at Simpson call my Simpson starts there was nothing that was done.

136
00:17:11,850 --> 00:17:19,850
And between what Antelope and Simpson, I thought that was it further, right?

137
00:17:20,270 --> 00:17:24,970
It actually went to Aldergate to make call.

138
00:17:25,250 --> 00:17:27,950
Yeah, we extended the limits with additional funding.

139
00:17:28,330 --> 00:17:33,270
And just out of my sense of curiosity then, McCall widening as soon as out to bid.

140
00:17:33,490 --> 00:17:34,670
What are the bids due back?

141
00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:36,930
We actually received them last week.

142
00:17:36,930 --> 00:17:42,710
So we are working, working to put that on the council agenda.

143
00:17:43,330 --> 00:17:45,210
Perfect. Thank you. That was the right answer.

144
00:17:45,550 --> 00:17:48,210
Yeah. Thank you. Questions on this side?

145
00:17:49,370 --> 00:17:50,270
I've got a few.

146
00:17:52,900 --> 00:18:02,060
Looking at slide number seven, this, specifically the Bradley Project in conjunction with the bridge.

147
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:07,720
Obviously, we're waiting until the bridge project is complete until that begins.

148
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:14,200
How soon after, is it acceptance of the project that we're going to wait on from City Council?

149
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:20,080
Is it once they pull the tractors away or we're going to start rolling on which the connection between those two?

150
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,900
So the bridge will actually be done in October.

151
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:36,620
This project still needs to go through design, so it will not go into construction probably until spring or summer of next year.

152
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:40,560
Why do we need to wait for design, why can't the design be done now?

153
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:48,120
It's not a project yet until July 1st, it becomes a project in our CIP program.

154
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:54,980
So we typically start once they are entered into our CIP program.

155
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:01,620
Plus it's a staffing level, just for us to get it out to construction.

156
00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:08,820
and we're currently working on 25-26 projects and then we'll move into 26-27.

157
00:19:09,260 --> 00:19:15,480
So what is the, if all goes according to plan based on this program, what is the anticipated

158
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,900
timeline of the start of that project, if all goes perfectly?

159
00:19:19,060 --> 00:19:24,460
If all goes perfectly, we'll be looking at April, May of next year to start the resurfacing,

160
00:19:24,940 --> 00:19:27,360
if there's no significant challenges.

161
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:37,320
So you're saying it would go, it would become a project July of this year and that's what we can start design and bids for the, we have to start with a bid for the design.

162
00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:41,380
More than likely that will be done in house, but good.

163
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,380
Yeah, so it projects like that we typically do in house.

164
00:19:45,220 --> 00:19:53,420
All right, so April or May of 27 is when the dream start time is.

165
00:19:53,420 --> 00:19:58,320
And any idea of a project of this magnitude, how long it would take to complete?

166
00:19:58,820 --> 00:20:03,220
It's maybe like one and a half to two month process.

167
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:11,980
It's a pretty straightforward, unless there's a lot of ADA ramp modifications, those sometimes slow the project down.

168
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:18,460
And the number one question I'm going to get is, will Bradley Road remain open while that's happening?

169
00:20:18,740 --> 00:20:18,900
Yes.

170
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,000
Okay, so we're not going to open the bridge and then close Bradley the rest of the way.

171
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,420
No, it will remain open, we will do in phases.

172
00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:38,780
Okay, great, and so moving down into my questions, the above ground fuel station is on hold, why is that on hold?

173
00:20:39,820 --> 00:20:50,200
So we started working through that process and started working with potential vendors to install a tank system.

174
00:20:51,060 --> 00:21:00,240
We're also, the only, we were looking at primarily, it was originally supposed to be at our fleet PD facility.

175
00:21:01,180 --> 00:21:04,960
As you are well aware, we do not own that facility.

176
00:21:05,740 --> 00:21:13,000
So, we went through and we looked at, okay, can we pick it back off of something what EMWD was working on?

177
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:19,420
we talked to them about getting some plans because they were actually going through a similar

178
00:21:19,420 --> 00:21:27,940
fuel station. However, the amount of environmental work and the site work that we required to

179
00:21:27,940 --> 00:21:36,460
install a facility like that on a least property would be very costly and we don't have a permanent

180
00:21:36,460 --> 00:21:45,360
site yet. So ideally, we would like to put it at the future PD slash mock facility because

181
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:51,540
that's where most, the least department is the one that uses the most fuel and same

182
00:21:51,540 --> 00:21:52,440
with the mock.

183
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,120
That's intersection of Bradley and Cherry Hills.

184
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:55,460
Yeah.

185
00:21:56,100 --> 00:22:02,020
Correct. That would, that would be the ideal location. There's, it became very complicated

186
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:05,220
when you're trying to put an infrastructure like that on least property.

187
00:22:05,220 --> 00:22:14,960
So the on hold is because we're looking for a location, because right now we're paying just retail pump prices for gas for all of our fleets.

188
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:15,560
Correct.

189
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:27,420
And is there any creative thinking going on about a way to get a fleet pricing or anything like that because that's just an insane amount of money?

190
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:37,340
It is, there are different fuel networks, but there's limited fueling stations in our area.

191
00:22:38,620 --> 00:22:40,160
Well, circle case, sell us a pump?

192
00:22:40,740 --> 00:22:41,280
Yeah, I know.

193
00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:42,280
That would be really nice.

194
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,420
Yeah, we can explore different types of fueling networks.

195
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:55,280
I would really like, because we're looking at five or more years down the road before that's

196
00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:05,680
possibility if that's the intended location, and if we're paying, I mean, we're probably paying 20% more for gas than we should be, and expanding the vehicles and all that other stuff.

197
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:11,600
So I'd appreciate if somebody could do some research into what an option would be to maybe bridge that gap.

198
00:23:12,380 --> 00:23:16,180
Let's see, specifically, we're talking about road improvements and things like that.

199
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:23,580
We had talked about, and we had funded a sidewalk, the missing link sidewalk on bar net outside the club, has that been completed?

200
00:23:23,580 --> 00:23:25,540
We are designing it right now.

201
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,100
We've had, as you may be aware, we lost a lot of staff in our CIP program.

202
00:23:30,340 --> 00:23:35,680
So I'm actually utilizing staff in my land development engineering to help facilitate

203
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,320
that.

204
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,020
And yes, the design is getting very close to completion that we can put it off the bed.

205
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:47,990
How many people is fully staffed for you and how many do you have?

206
00:23:48,590 --> 00:23:50,350
In my CIP program?

207
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:50,770
Right.

208
00:23:50,770 --> 00:23:50,850
Right.

209
00:23:51,730 --> 00:23:54,830
Fully staffed as six, and I have three.

210
00:23:57,370 --> 00:24:00,530
And is there anything that you need from us to help that?

211
00:24:00,630 --> 00:24:05,930
Because public works seem to be the number one concern for folks, roads, and all of those kinds of things.

212
00:24:06,050 --> 00:24:11,550
All the stuff that you do that's in here is the number one thing that we hear about from the city.

213
00:24:11,970 --> 00:24:16,070
So, there's no people, is there no people?

214
00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:20,510
I have recruiting, yeah, I've been recruiting for months.

215
00:24:20,510 --> 00:24:30,530
We actually had a very good recruitment process going right now, because we do have one vacant position, and I did have four very good candidates.

216
00:24:31,250 --> 00:24:43,450
We've been recruiting for Carlos's position since October, and we've been through negotiations a couple times and could not meet on salary.

217
00:24:46,670 --> 00:24:58,230
engineering is a very high demand. So we're working, it seems like the tides are kind of shifting because we're starting to get more applications.

218
00:25:00,650 --> 00:25:08,730
It's just a challenging area, especially traffic engineers. They're like gold right now. If you can get a whole of a traffic engineer,

219
00:25:14,570 --> 00:25:21,130
So on the payment management program list, the additional funding you're asking for for the

220
00:25:21,130 --> 00:25:27,310
slow-receal program, what is the reason that we're asking for more money of that now if

221
00:25:27,310 --> 00:25:30,430
we can't get to everything yet, why are we needing more money to fund it?

222
00:25:30,810 --> 00:25:33,290
We typically get through it every fiscal year.

223
00:25:34,210 --> 00:25:38,710
There is a process because some of the slow-receals take a little bit longer because we go

224
00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:43,290
go in and do a crack seal first then we let it cure out a little bit and then put it out

225
00:25:43,290 --> 00:25:51,530
to construction. But we try to go through our payment management program each year. One

226
00:25:51,530 --> 00:25:56,450
that's kind of been delayed is the analogue road but that's because we added additional

227
00:25:56,450 --> 00:26:05,450
segment to it originally went from Holland to Newport but we through the council we got

228
00:26:05,450 --> 00:26:09,830
additional funding that we can take it all the way up to Alder Gate. That way we can make

229
00:26:09,830 --> 00:26:16,850
some improvements at the intersection of Newport and Antelope and do all the restriping to make

230
00:26:16,850 --> 00:26:24,710
that intersection better. So that project is almost complete with design, but that's the only one

231
00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:34,070
that has kind of fill out that cycle that's an older project. So when this thing becomes crystallized,

232
00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:53,430
Is it, would it be possible to publish a schedule of the project or at least the order in which the projects are going to be done even if we don't have dates so the public can know that their section of road has been selected and at what point it's going to be done?

233
00:26:54,050 --> 00:27:20,410
Yeah, we would, with the best we can, obviously we have a lot of things that are outside of our control because we have to coordinate with utility companies to come in and do adjustments or if they say that they want to replace a line before we come in and do work or even just for us to come in and resurface, they have to lower their facilities and then bring them back up.

234
00:27:20,410 --> 00:27:27,710
So there's a lot a lot of little nuances that we work for that work through that aren't exactly all in our control

235
00:27:27,710 --> 00:27:32,010
Will there be at least a list of the projects that are going to be done during the fiscal year?

236
00:27:32,170 --> 00:27:33,330
Yes, okay

237
00:27:33,330 --> 00:27:36,610
Yeah, we have that yeah because you said you go through the you can get through most of them

238
00:27:36,610 --> 00:27:39,410
Yeah, you might have to shuffle around timing and order and things like that

239
00:27:39,410 --> 00:27:44,750
But will there be a place on our city website that you can go here are the projects that are going to be done in the next fiscal year

240
00:27:44,750 --> 00:27:48,950
Yes, we can do that. Oh, so that doesn't exist now, but it can be done

241
00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:58,610
No, we have our CIP program, but we can, which shows what streets there are, but we can try to put it, you know, summer or fall or whatever, give them a range.

242
00:27:59,670 --> 00:28:07,630
That'd be great because right now it seems very abstract to folks and people who live on one side of town aren't monitoring what's going on on the other side of town.

243
00:28:07,870 --> 00:28:15,550
So people who live on Antelope are saying nothing's being done with the roads in the meantime, all of this stuff's being done over by Bradley Road and they don't see it.

244
00:28:15,550 --> 00:28:17,470
And that's where all of our resources are going.

245
00:28:17,730 --> 00:28:22,550
So if there's something that the public can see to track our progress in some degree,

246
00:28:22,770 --> 00:28:24,730
I think that would really be instructive.

247
00:28:24,970 --> 00:28:25,950
Yep, I appreciate that.

248
00:28:26,550 --> 00:28:30,710
All right, any other questions for staff before we move on?

249
00:28:30,970 --> 00:28:36,250
Nope, all right, Madam Clerk, are there any requests to speak or has any correspondence been received?

250
00:28:36,610 --> 00:28:37,250
None this evening.

251
00:28:37,650 --> 00:28:43,010
All right, does the council have any comments on anything you'd like to discuss at this point?

252
00:28:43,930 --> 00:28:49,970
This is a discussion item, there's no vote required here or anything, it's more instructional.

253
00:28:50,650 --> 00:29:02,270
One thing that Maristrada asked me to ask you was, where does the Quail Valley Sidewalk project fit into this?

254
00:29:02,290 --> 00:29:03,490
I didn't see that on here.

255
00:29:04,570 --> 00:29:08,390
We do not currently have a project for the Quail Valley Sidewalks.

256
00:29:08,810 --> 00:29:10,570
I thought it had been added to the CIP list.

257
00:29:10,570 --> 00:29:12,270
It might have been a level four or something like that.

258
00:29:12,390 --> 00:29:15,970
Yeah, so it doesn't fall into the funded section.

259
00:29:16,450 --> 00:29:21,870
It falls into the overall CIP program, but these are only projects that have been funded.

260
00:29:22,690 --> 00:29:32,370
So level four does not have, it hasn't been included into the funded portion.

261
00:29:32,650 --> 00:29:38,610
So it's a level four, it's still, it's on the list, but it doesn't have a funding associated with it.

262
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:46,990
So, and I notice that the projects here, we're not here today to reorganize and reorder projects when is that meeting?

263
00:29:47,530 --> 00:29:54,010
That will become the next go around when we come through our next budget cycle.

264
00:29:55,090 --> 00:29:57,570
So, what is the anticipated date of that?

265
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:18,580
I see June 3rd is the CFP public hearing and budget adoption. Is that when that would be? No, this is next year. Okay, so the June of 27 is when we have that re-ordering? That would probably start in April of 27.

266
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:29,620
All right. And I know you're probably monitoring that as well. We could talk about that at that workshop. But one other thing I wanted to bring up in this sort of dovetails

267
00:30:29,620 --> 00:30:36,940
into an item that we have on tonight's full agenda, which is the ADA compliance.

268
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:43,900
And specifically, we're going to be getting to a discussion.

269
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:49,820
I don't want to get over my skis here, but we're going to be getting to a discussion of ADA compliance and

270
00:30:49,820 --> 00:30:52,360
things we need to do to bring the city up to ADA and things like that.

271
00:30:52,460 --> 00:30:55,680
There was one section in there where it said the city facilities.

272
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:05,600
There is an anticipated $1.5 million expense for bringing our, the buildings that we own up to speed with regard to

273
00:31:07,540 --> 00:31:11,560
accessibility into the buildings and bathrooms and things like that.

274
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:21,740
How do we get that onto the funding list from the report so we can actually start doing that?

275
00:31:21,740 --> 00:31:25,240
Because we have the money to do that now, and as you know, this is a pretty important issue to me.

276
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,080
So I want to advocate to make sure, especially in Sun City and things like that.

277
00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:36,100
So it seems like a very, it's our stuff, it's our buildings, and we have the money to do it.

278
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,280
Does that something that needs to get added to CIP?

279
00:31:40,020 --> 00:31:40,800
Yes and no.

280
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:47,040
So we do, for instance, Fire Station 76, right, we're in the middle of a remodel.

281
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:58,100
Those bathrooms that were there were outdated, so now the remodel is bringing those restrooms up to current standards and they're living quarters up to current standards.

282
00:31:58,340 --> 00:32:14,880
So we do, as we, through the CIP, some of those projects are added, we can add in funds for specific projects like AMR, AMR Park, that's got quite a bit of improvements that would be necessary to bring that.

283
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,780
That one would probably be some component of a CIP program.

284
00:32:19,060 --> 00:32:25,600
Other parts of the components would be that we do some of the work through our own regular maintenance activities.

285
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,120
Now that we know where there are some of our crews between my crews and

286
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,760
community services crews can make some of the corrections as part of our operating budgets.

All right, so I know that that specific ask is not on this agenda item but I'm going to give you a heads up that when we get to it on the consent calendar, I'm going to be pulling it from the consent calendar tonight so we can have a discussion about that so whoever is on that I don't know if that's briser whomever is can be ready to discuss that.

289
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,760
