23
00:02:06,537 --> 00:02:10,841
future. Growth of our community. Uh, a lot of arterial roadways on here. And

24
00:02:10,841 --> 00:02:13,844
if you've been. Around town now there's a lot under. Construction, uh, in the city.

25
00:02:13,844 --> 00:02:20,551
but this is our roadmap. Uh, we take this. Plan and then we develop based on and it's based

26
00:02:20,551 --> 00:02:26,230
on, uh. Land use assumptions. Our projections of where the growth is going to happen.

27
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:30,360
that's how we determine the roads that we need. Uh, and then we put a schedule on that

28
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,866
and then we come before the board for financing for that. As you probably know, we

29
00:02:35,866 --> 00:02:40,271
leverage as many opportunities as we can. We talked to tax dot williamson county we have

30
00:02:40,271 --> 00:02:46,710
roadway impact fees. Uh we have the type b fund all that we come in we use as many of those

31
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:52,849
funding options to leverage uh to be able to build these projects. Uh, today. Here is a

32
00:02:52,849 --> 00:02:57,654
list of six projects that are exactly seven seven projects that are under construction in

33
00:02:57,654 --> 00:03:01,691
the city. Uh, if you've been around town you see a lot of construction. So wyoming

34
00:03:01,691 --> 00:03:07,597
springs road second one this is on the west side. It's going from creek bend uh, heads north

35
00:03:07,597 --> 00:03:13,300
across brushy creek and ties in at old sellars boulevard and sam bass project is in its last

36
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:18,700
month or so uh, about to be completed. We're planting trees out there and finishing up, uh,

37
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:22,179
it's a four lane divided roadway at two bridges. Uh, it's gonna be a wonderful

38
00:03:22,179 --> 00:03:26,549
project that takes warming springs to there. Uh, and then we go wyoming springs extends

39
00:03:26,549 --> 00:03:30,286
through burns ranch and then we have a future project coming that's going to take that

40
00:03:30,286 --> 00:03:34,992
wyoming springs all the way to 1431. Uh, we're starting to work on that, uh, acquiring

41
00:03:34,992 --> 00:03:40,296
right away for that one county road 112 east and county road 112 west is on the east side of

42
00:03:40,296 --> 00:03:46,637
town, uh grimes and heads east all the way out to county road 110 uh, basically on the north

43
00:03:46,637 --> 00:03:51,809
side of paloma light mud. Uh, another nice roadway that's under construction. Uh, we'll

44
00:03:51,809 --> 00:03:58,482
be finishing up some time next year on that project on sellars boulevard extension. Uh, this

45
00:03:58,482 --> 00:04:02,719
is if you take out settlers past. Oh. >> settlers park heading east,

46
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:08,558
you tend to redbud lane. Uh, right there we take old settlers head east all the

47
00:04:08,558 --> 00:04:13,831
way and tie it into counter 110 to the east. So some major arterials on the east side

48
00:04:13,831 --> 00:04:18,668
that's really going to help traffic flow. Uh that project uh basically right at the end

49
00:04:18,668 --> 00:04:23,273
we're pretty much finished with the road. We're waiting for the traffic signal at redbud and

50
00:04:23,273 --> 00:04:28,780
old settlers to be uh, worked on and then we'll be able to open up that road here really

51
00:04:28,780 --> 00:04:36,869
soon. Redbud lane north, uh, under construction. That's at 79 as you head north and you're

52
00:04:36,869 --> 00:04:41,641
on the east side of old settlers park and it goes all the way up to counter 117.

53
00:04:41,641 --> 00:04:47,113
uh, that's a four lane roadway that's under construction. Uh, still got at least about a year

54
00:04:47,113 --> 00:04:52,785
or so work there until we complete that road. Gary school road segment six. Uh, that's

55
00:04:52,785 --> 00:04:59,925
the far east project and get a school that takes us from via sonoma. East six lanes all the

56
00:04:59,925 --> 00:05:06,320
way to redbud lane at gaddis and redbud. Uh, started that project this past year. Uh,

57
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,402
still got a little bit of work to do on that one probably another year year and a half of

58
00:05:09,402 --> 00:05:15,574
work there and then greenlawn boulevard uh, that's over there by by the district it ties

59
00:05:15,574 --> 00:05:20,513
that's going to make that roadway a three lane roadway each direction from 45 frontage

60
00:05:20,513 --> 00:05:28,540
road as you bend around back south westerly to the interstate frontage roads. Uh

61
00:05:28,540 --> 00:05:31,657
uh a lot of work going on there if you've been over there that's kind of a little war

62
00:05:31,657 --> 00:05:35,795
zone. Uh, but that'll be a nice little six lane road there when we finish. So these are all

63
00:05:35,795 --> 00:05:41,734
projects that the type b has helped fund. Uh, they're all moving and progressing in a

64
00:05:41,734 --> 00:05:46,505
very good way. Uh, and we'll get these projects done. So I want to give you an update on

65
00:05:46,505 --> 00:05:49,809
some of those. That's not all the projects that we have going on. We have a lot we have some

66
00:05:49,809 --> 00:05:54,547
traffic signal projects, roundabouts, right turn lanes, various things around the

67
00:05:54,547 --> 00:05:58,885
city uh, that we continue to work on so that we can manage the traffic flow in this city.

68
00:05:58,885 --> 00:06:02,622
as you all know roundabout continues to grow and and people are moving here every

69
00:06:02,622 --> 00:06:11,263
day. Back to the item before you uh, amendment number 56. Uh, we have two projects that

70
00:06:11,263 --> 00:06:16,769
are under design and we are looking for uh, additional right away money. Uh, we've

71
00:06:16,769 --> 00:06:22,274
come before the board uh, previously and we basically deposited or got approval for

72
00:06:22,274 --> 00:06:26,745
$2 million for each one of these projects for future right of way. Uh, we knew that was

73
00:06:26,745 --> 00:06:31,500
not enough, but we had not gotten into the project enough, did not know how many

74
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:36,155
properties we needed to buy. So we've already been approved for $2 million each. And on next

75
00:06:36,155 --> 00:06:39,491
slide I'll kind of show you how much we're asking for for each one of these but the two are

76
00:06:39,491 --> 00:06:44,563
kenny fort boulevard segment five and six that is taking kenny forward. So kenny for

77
00:06:44,563 --> 00:06:51,471
today as you head north tees and the old sellers boulevard uh kenny fort five or we'll

78
00:06:51,471 --> 00:06:58,910
start there head north all the way up to that county road 112 I just mentioned and then kenny

79
00:06:58,910 --> 00:07:03,682
for it segment six will take it from 112 all the way up to uh, the john nelson property all

80
00:07:03,682 --> 00:07:09,388
the way up to uh university. Uh, both of these projects will really be uh they'll be three

81
00:07:09,388 --> 00:07:14,993
lane divided uh, just like you see on kenny fort heading south. So great projects. Uh,

82
00:07:14,993 --> 00:07:20,199
we need additional right away for that and then wyoming springs extension. I should.

83
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:24,870
>> pull up the map so I can talk to it better. Here's the kenny fort five and six of five

84
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:29,642
starts right here at all centers. Makes its way right up through here and ties in right

85
00:07:29,642 --> 00:07:36,315
there at county road 112 we are renaming that the avery nelson parkway. So avery nelson

86
00:07:36,315 --> 00:07:40,685
parkway is already in the uh where the the schools are at grounds and it'll extend all

87
00:07:40,685 --> 00:07:45,124
the way to the east to county road 110 and then beyond that through the subdivision to the

88
00:07:45,124 --> 00:07:51,697
east and then here's kenny fort six will start right here and head through the pasture in t

89
00:07:51,697 --> 00:07:57,502
and right here at university. Uh, kenny four it won't stop there. There's some, uh,

90
00:07:57,502 --> 00:08:01,907
developments that are going to be occurring to the north of my screen here uh, that we will

91
00:08:01,907 --> 00:08:06,345
extend kenny fort with those developments in the future. So that will take you all the way

92
00:08:06,345 --> 00:08:11,551
from the north side there all the way down to 45 kenny fort. We'll when this is all said and

93
00:08:11,551 --> 00:08:17,255
done. Wyoming springs extension I just mentioned that earlier. So the project we're completing

94
00:08:17,255 --> 00:08:23,195
is going up to sam base actually it's already built through barnes ranch right

95
00:08:23,195 --> 00:08:26,932
here. So we're taking this project right in here and we will be building this road from

96
00:08:26,932 --> 00:08:33,605
the north side appearance ranch all the way up here to 1431 city around rocky. It's only

97
00:08:33,605 --> 00:08:38,760
responsible for the right of way acquisition on this project. Williamson county is

98
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,882
responsible for the design and construction. So, uh, we're working with the canyon that

99
00:08:43,882 --> 00:08:49,889
this property will be uh, we'll be negotiating with the sneads texas crest stone for this

100
00:08:49,889 --> 00:08:54,960
acquisition. So for those two projects what we're looking at uh, as I stated, there's

101
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,598
already 2 million allocated for both of these. Uh, so it kenny four, five and six we're asking

102
00:08:59,598 --> 00:09:04,570
for ten more million. Uh, that'll get us to about 12 million total for the right of

103
00:09:04,570 --> 00:09:09,740
way acquisition needed for that project and then the warming springs extension the 2 million

104
00:09:09,740 --> 00:09:15,114
already plus the 5 million 5,500,000 will give us 7.5 million. Uh, with all these

105
00:09:15,114 --> 00:09:20,286
projects we start with some money, get approval to get it going. Uh, we bring it to get

106
00:09:20,286 --> 00:09:24,890
right away. Acquisition money will come before y'all for design money and then as we

107
00:09:24,890 --> 00:09:28,694
move through the project we get a better feel for how much we need. So that's why we come

108
00:09:28,694 --> 00:09:33,565
back two or 3 or 4 times on a given project. Uh, once we get through with design then we'll

109
00:09:33,565 --> 00:09:37,736
come before you with construction money. Uh, so that's kind of how the process

110
00:09:37,736 --> 00:09:45,377
works. So tonight we're asking for approval for 15.5 million for this amendment. I will say

111
00:09:45,377 --> 00:09:50,983
yesterday we had a meeting of all of our capital projects on transportation and we looked at

112
00:09:50,983 --> 00:09:56,121
them by fiscal year and we move some some projects are being delayed. So we moved them out

113
00:09:56,121 --> 00:10:01,260
and we were able to move out uh a little bit more than 15.5 million out on the other year.

114
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:06,365
so by getting approval for this 15.5 it doesn't change our overall budget for fy 27 going

115
00:10:06,365 --> 00:10:09,669
forward. So that's just to kind of give you an idea we were able to move some money

116
00:10:09,669 --> 00:10:14,339
around to make this a little easier for the approval. So be happy to answer any.

117
00:10:14,339 --> 00:10:22,139
>> questions. Any questions from michael. All right. >> well thank you sir. Uh all.

00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:30,249
>> right entertain a motion to adopt resolution e1. Make a motion. Second.

00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:55,614
