that that follows are uh consistent with

00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,080
what we had presented to uh both the TUR

82
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,200
board and the uh and the city council

83
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,840
prior. Uh uh as you'll recall in our

84
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,599
last meeting, we tabled uh one agreement

85
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,319
and didn't act on the other in order to

86
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:30,720
be able to correct uh the uh the

87
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:33,599
documents to reflect a split of

88
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,400
development costs. Uh what you're ending

89
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:39,200
up with in the agreements is with uh Mr.

00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:43,120
Olivareis uh taking one half of the

91
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,280
responsibility for uh subdivision 16. Uh

92
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,120
and so all of the uh development costs

93
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,200
associated with that that were

94
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,120
referenced in the project plan for the

95
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:55,760
tur uh and and are as an exhibit in this

96
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,280
agreement uh will be covered by him at

97
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,239
50%

98
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,319
uh including 50% of the uh interest that

99
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:05,280
was acco that was uh provided for in the

100
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:07,680
plan. Uh since I'm at it, the the second

101
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,400
agreement will basically take the other

102
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,040
half of subdivision 16, this agreement

103
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,599

104
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,280
full responsibility for subdivision 12.

00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:21,519
And so um when you approve these uh uh

106
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:24,639
they basically will become an obligation

107
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:27,680
of the TURs uh and then we'll ask you to

108
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:29,280
uh ratify them when you come together in

109
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,199
a few minutes as city council.

110
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,800
» Okay. So, uh, if anybody wants to make a

111
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:33,360
nomination, maybe we can take B and C

112
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,479
together.

113
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,120
» Motion to approve

» Okay. I have a motion by Commissioner

117
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,479
Garcia. Do I have a second?

118
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,080
» Second.

119
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:42,800
» Second by Dr. Salana. Any more

120
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,600
discussion?

121
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,800
» Uh, quick question. Legal my motions as

122
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,560
well. Has a hawk or

123
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,960
» Because you're not a voting member. Yes,

124
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,840
sir.

125
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,120
» Thank you.

126
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:53,680
» All those in favor say I.

127
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,520
» I.

128
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,000
» I. All those opposed, same sign. Motion

129
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,520
carries. And just for the public, uh

130
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,000
it's nothing bad with uh with Dr. uh h

131
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,919
how he is an ad hoc member of the

132
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,520
commission. So which means that he's

133
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:10,000
here to keep an eye on us and make sure

134
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,520
that everything's being done right. So

135
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,840
moving on to item number five,

136
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,400
presentation. Receive an update on the

137
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:17,400
status of the development.

138
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,759
A is the uh for those that don't know me

139
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,639
uh I guess the status is where we at on

140
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:35,199
the development.

141
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:37,600
» Yes sir.

142
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:41,280
» I guess uh the question now lies now

143
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:44,720
that you all have uh moved to

144
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:47,840
as explained by

145
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,919
here is uh

146
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:51,759
city of Mercedes has said yes we're

147
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:53,919
going to move forward with this. We're

148
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:55,759
willing to you put all there you put

149
00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:58,240
this investment

150
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:00,479
uh and then of course as we build it

151
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,120
taxes let's buy let's pay for some of

152
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:06,240
these uh infrastructure needs that we're

153
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,800
going to have out there as we met a

154
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,240
couple of days ago uh you all city

155
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,319
council I don't know if the mayor has

156
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,120
been able to brief him but u uh

157
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:20,960
commissioner Fuentes has uh come up with

158
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,759
u some grant money to reconstruct mile

159
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,240
to west and uh that should go to

160
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:30,639
construction next year and so that

161
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,120
roadway uh and those costs are going to

162
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:35,919
be uh not something that has to be

163
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,160
reimbursed with these tax needs. So uh

164
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:40,720
that's a good thing for the project. And

165
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,560
now uh the next thing we we would would

166
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,479
like to know as the developers, myself

167
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:50,319
and Joe, is uh uh when are you when do

168
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:53,600
you plan to put this item on the agenda

169
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:55,360
uh for commissioner court to act on it?

170
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,400
What are your thoughts?

171
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,639
» So I know that uh

172
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,199
I mean the sooner the better. I think uh

173
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:05,680
if we lead into it with whatever com

174
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,240
whatever minor conversations I had with

175
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,319
some of the concerns on it was that that

176
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,400
it'd be uh uh that that it was going to

177
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:14,639
be an annexed uh property.

178
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,880
» I think that's that's a moot point. Uh

179
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:18,400
we just need to get before them. So I

180
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,919
think whatever time it takes for us to

181
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,440
get all this stuff taken care of and I

182
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:24,000
would imagine that this is the final

183
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:27,840
move right prior to going over there.

184
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,160
Uh, and I would assume that the wording

185
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,000
is already put together for us to

186
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,759
present to them. At this point, it's

187
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
just a matter of requesting to get put

188
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:37,000
on the agenda.

189
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,440
» Okay. All right.

190
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,080
» Tonight,

191
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,840
we will approve

192
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,560
as

193
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:48,960
agreement.

194
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,160
» Correct.

195
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:54,240
» In order to hand it to the require,

196
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,240
» Right? So, so, so assuming that the vote

197
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,479
goes well uh uh on the second meeting,

198
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,800
um I would say we have so commissioner's

199
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:05,280
court was today. So, that means we'll

200
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,000
have till next uh Wednesday now to

201
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,599
submit it.

202
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,360
» So, we're thinking next month.

203
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:10,720
» Try to get it over to the commissioners.

204
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,199
» I would say within the next couple of

205
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,319
weeks unless there's some kind of

206
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:17,360
» Difference. We're going to be working

207
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:19,280
with our engineer to um finalize the

208
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,800
designs with North Alamo. They're going

209
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,240
to want some sort of assurance because

210
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,560
as you know, we're going to be carrying

211
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,039
a I think it's a 12 inch line all the

212
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,280
way from mile 11 down to mile 8 and

213
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:32,000
that'll give pressure to uh a lot of

214
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,760
those subdivisions in that area that you

215
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,120
know the there is no pressure

216
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,279
» And fire hydrant protection.

217
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:42,240
» Yeah. So, we going to want to finalize

218
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:44,240
that and uh because you know it's uh

219
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,800
it's going to be a big undertaking to

220
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,040
run that 12-in line for those three

221
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,160
miles. Just to make sure I'm clear,

222
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,920
you're talking about final finalizing

223
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,160
uh what we're doing with those Halamo

224
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,240
before going to commissioner's court or

225
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,880
» Well, we we've already gone to North

226
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,040
Alamo and the intent is there. We've

227
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,640
already given them a right map and

228
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,880
they've selected their route,

229
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:11,519
» But I want to make sure that everything

230
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:13,440
is is obviously uh in agreement

231
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:15,680
» As so that way when we go to

232
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,160
commissioner's court and we'll be there

233
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,680
to support any questions. Uh

234
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,399
» That's why you said next month instead

235
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:21,839
of in two weeks.

236
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:24,480
» Well, I'm you know, as soon as we can

237
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:26,480
get it out there, I I'll I'll cross

238
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,880
check that. And of course, you have a uh

239
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,600
a lift station there in front of the

240
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:34,480
sci-fi school. We want to make sure that

241
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,040
those needs that uh if we need to add

242
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,320
those capacities are well identified so

243
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,519
I can get a good price from the

244
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,279
contractors.

245
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,120
» Okay. So, what do you think a good

246
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:44,320
timeline for us would be to to put it

247
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,920
in? I mean, as soon as you can get them

248
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,000
in there, I mean, I'll put it on the

249
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,800
contractor and

250
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,279
» Uh as soon as you we I think that after

251
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,040
the city's done their final readings, we

252
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:57,600
should then put it on the commissioner's

253
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:00,080
court and if if there's they've got any

254
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,519
tough questions, we'll ask and if that

255
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,320
way we can answer them, okay?

256
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:06,399
» Because as you know, uh we have had had

257
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,000
a lot of positive response and there's

258
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:08,880
some some questions, so we'll be there

259
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,839
to answer them.

260
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,279
» Okay.

261
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:13,279
» All right. So, we're good to put it on

262
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:15,360
the next county commissioner's court.

263
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:17,279
» So, can we confirm on the water side

264
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,640
that's North Alamo and they're going to

265
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:22,560
provide pressure?

266
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,480
» Right now, North Alamo said they've got

267
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:27,920
enough capacities to uh to run for

268
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,920
number 16

269
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,399
» Uh to provide water, etc. He said, "Now,

270
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,800
when we get to to doing number 12,

271
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:35,200
» Right,

272
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,519
» He said, I think we need to go in there,

273
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,880
and I told him, we will reserve for you

274
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,240
all to go in there and put a water

275
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,720
tower." Okay, that's how they're going

276
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,200
to handle.

277
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,560
» So, so yeah, the sec the he said, "I

278
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,360
don't think we've got enough pressure

279
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:49,279
for the second subdivision, but I said

280
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,600
you let us know when we will give you

281
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:52,880
the uh the land dedicated to you so they

282
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,040
can go ahead and then start their

283
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,680
designs." So, so those kind kind of

284
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,680
things I need to
