00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:33,960
Okay, good evening one more time. Okay, please join me in standing for the invocation to be given by Council Member Clark. Let's pray. Dear Heavenly Father, we ask for your presence and guidance in this town council meeting tonight. Grant us clarity, open hearts, and a spirit of respect as we consider each agenda item. May this meeting be productive and respectful and beneficial to all. Please bless this town.

2
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,200

3
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:39,900
of the community.

4
00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:44,100
Thank you for bringing this Council together to serve our community.

5
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:45,760
Your holy name, amen.

6
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:46,480
Amen.

7
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:49,160
Please join me standing for the political allegiance.

8
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,940
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which

9
00:00:57,940 --> 00:00:58,360
it stands.

10
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:03,540
One nation under God, individualism, with liberty and justice for all.

11
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:11,470
Please be seated.

12
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:16,440
Would you have any counsel, staff and members of the audience?

13
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,060
Welcome everybody to the town council meeting for Monday, January 27th.

14
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,460
Time is 7 or 4. I am going to call the meeting to the order.

15
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:30,420
We have all council members except Mr. Larry Allen with six other seven council members

16
00:01:34,420 --> 00:01:38,460
First item is announced, the procedure in the Texas government

17
00:01:38,460 --> 00:01:43,660
code section 551.0415 may or may or may or may or may or may

18
00:01:43,660 --> 00:01:45,940
report on various items listed on the agenda.

19
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:48,420
Counts and we have the announcement to make.

20
00:01:52,290 --> 00:01:53,610
Staff, we have the announcements.

21
00:01:55,580 --> 00:01:58,400
Mayor and council, I do have a couple.

22
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,480
Give me just a second.

23
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,540
The Sunnyvale PD is still currently accepting applications and

24
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,520
encourages Sunnyvale residents to apply for the upcoming

25
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,320
citizen's police academy that will be held on Thursday nights right here at

26
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,040
Town Hall from 6.30 to 9 p.m. beginning February the 12th and running through April

27
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,860
the 12th. The citizen's police academy has a 10-week hands-on learning

28
00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:25,760
learning opportunity. The doors pageant public library hosts story time on Wednesdays

30
00:02:29,940 --> 00:02:35,120
5.30 p.m. and that's all I have. Mayor and council I do have one just quick

31
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,400
update. For those of you may not have subscribed to our weekly newsletter that

32
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,660
goes out on Fridays our electronic news flash did want to call out one

33
00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:49,680
little article. We had a a dog that was in our animal shelter for over a year

34
00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:59,760
400 and what is it 418 or 41 418 days. Codak he was a is a German Shepherd missing

35
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,800
a tail. He had some anxiety when he first brought him into the animal shelter.

36
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,180
We got him treated at the vet.

37
00:03:07,420 --> 00:03:13,640
418 days later he was adopted by another Sunnyvale family and we are proud to see videos

38
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:18,780
that he's doing quite well at his home and so just wanted to give a shout out to everybody

39
00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:24,900
who's worked down at the animal shelter including the friends of the animals in Sunnyvale and

40
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:30,720
everybody who helped try to get that dog adopted and we never gave up on him 400 and some

41
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,280
on Mondays later he's found a new home here in Sunnyvale and so we hope to see more

42
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,420
success stories like code acts so just wanted to give a shout out to Code Act and to his

43
00:03:39,420 --> 00:03:41,360
new family here in Sunnyvale.

44
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,200
Thank you Jeff for the beautiful story.

45
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:44,080
Appreciate it.

46
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:44,280
Okay.

47
00:03:44,740 --> 00:03:45,820
I'm going to close that item.

48
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,680
This is the time for public comments.

49
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,980
This is the time that birds of the audience may come forward and speak to the council or

50
00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:56,740
any items other than personal matters or legal matters or items on the agenda.

51
00:03:57,380 --> 00:04:02,340
If you are here to speak to the council, I ask that you fill it, that card, and limit

52
00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:03,600
your coverage to three minutes.

53
00:04:04,180 --> 00:04:07,200
At this time, I would invite the public to come forward and speak to the council.

54
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,020
Mayor and council looks like I have four in front of me.

55
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,800
The first one is Ross Miracle, 291, Old Mill Road, Sunnyvale.

56
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,800
You need to be siblings, okay?

57
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,180
Good to see you again.

58
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:21,440
I

59
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:31,580
appreciate you taking the time to one volunteer for the town and also to hear from the public on various matters.

60
00:04:32,540 --> 00:04:39,340
I've been a resident of this town, well really since 1987, but came back to raise my own family in 2013.

61
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:48,740
Since that time, we have three children, all three are active in sports and I am currently the president of Sarisza, the Civil Raiders Youth Sports Association.

62
00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:54,820
We have had a great relationship so far with the Senate of LSD when it comes to using

63
00:04:54,820 --> 00:05:00,280
ball fields, using facilities, gyms, but one thing that we have struggled with so far

64
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:04,500
is having that same partnership thus far with the town, or at least to that same extent

65
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:05,040
with the town.

66
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,520
Currently, our baseball and softball teams utilize one baseball diamond at Jobs & Park.

67
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:19,300
And it's difficult to do with so many teams with a compressed schedule.

68
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,020
And especially with daylight savings time, there really is an opportunity to practice

69
00:05:24,020 --> 00:05:26,040
very much with no lights whatsoever.

70
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:31,800
Now I know that since 2018, there's been discussions about expanding the parks, expanding the

71
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:38,460
ball field capabilities within the sound, and thus far those comments have seemed to

72
00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:39,800
fallen on deaf ears.

73
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,660
You know, in 2018, my oldest son was just beginning his first

74
00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:46,700
share of 4-U T-Ball.

75
00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:51,360
And now he's a fifth grader, and soon he will age out of being

76
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,380
able to utilize the town or utilize a town owned jobs in

77
00:05:55,380 --> 00:05:55,640
park.

78
00:05:57,060 --> 00:06:00,160
And it's unfortunate because we've, I wouldn't say we've had a

79
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,400
whole generation go by, but we've definitely had kids of a

80
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,040
certain age who would want to use jobs and who haven't really

81
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:12,840
have the opportunity to fully use it and it's full utilization, and I'm afraid with

82
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:19,200
the new park's concept, with the prospect of not adding any more ball fields to jobs

83
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,720
in park, that can is going to be kicked down the road where another group of children

84
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,440
aren't going to be able to utilize that either.

85
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:34,260
I know there's been some talk of using Samuel North for parks, but I feel like that plan

86
00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:41,780
Again, it seems very quick-sotic and not as reliable as just adding on to jobs in a situation

87
00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:44,140
where we could work with the homeowners.

88
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,140
We could work to have lights that don't stay on for an extended period of time.

89
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:58,660
And really, we can find a balance between the homeowners and the people who, the entire town,

90
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:06,060
who want to utilize the parks for their kids sports teams at such a young age when there's really no other options to in this town.

91
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,060
Thank you very much for your all-time and attention and have a great evening.

92
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,500
Thank you Mr. Berkert.

93
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,020
Mayor and council, the next one is Fuddy Finney, 310 Riverdale Road, Sunnyvale.

94
00:07:21,590 --> 00:07:22,250
What do you have here, sir?

95
00:07:22,990 --> 00:07:30,970
Mr. Mayor, councilmembers, staff, this is my first go at any of y'all's meetings and bring any sort of commentary, but

96
00:07:30,970 --> 00:07:36,030
I just wanted to echo what Ross Miracle just said about youth sports here in

97
00:07:36,030 --> 00:07:42,330
Sunnyvale. I grew up in Lyle about six years ago. We moved my life and I we moved

98
00:07:42,330 --> 00:07:47,150
from Lyle to Sunnyvale because partially because we had heard of what great

99
00:07:47,150 --> 00:07:51,330
community it was, great schools and typically when you hear great schools and

100
00:07:51,330 --> 00:07:56,230
great community you also hear great families with great kids and we've found

101
00:07:56,230 --> 00:08:00,410
that to be true here in Sunnyvale but as far as the facilities from the town as

102
00:08:00,410 --> 00:08:04,730
as far as use sports, it's pretty pathetic.

103
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:06,870
It's definitely not to the standards

104
00:08:06,870 --> 00:08:08,990
of what I think our town can provide for its kids.

105
00:08:09,650 --> 00:08:11,170
And so I just wanted to come forward

106
00:08:11,170 --> 00:08:12,950
and let you guys know, I mean,

107
00:08:13,210 --> 00:08:15,430
it's a T-ball field that's over there without lights.

108
00:08:15,450 --> 00:08:16,370
I was over there today.

109
00:08:16,650 --> 00:08:18,330
I met my son at five o'clock.

110
00:08:18,330 --> 00:08:19,650
Him and his buddy, Shep Becker.

111
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:21,890
And we tossed the ball around,

112
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:24,310
but there was already a six-use softball team

113
00:08:24,310 --> 00:08:25,370
that was already on the field.

114
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:27,310
There was another dad with his son

115
00:08:27,310 --> 00:08:28,650
that was already using the batting cage.

116
00:08:28,650 --> 00:08:33,870
So went out to left field, but there should be more than one small T ball field that's in Sunnyvale

117
00:08:33,870 --> 00:08:35,790
And I think we got the land over there

118
00:08:36,750 --> 00:08:42,450
2018 to now that's seven years like Ross use the term. It's definitely been kicked down cam down the road

119
00:08:43,010 --> 00:08:47,530
My son's a fifth grader. So I don't know how much this is going to affect him as far as

120
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:49,790
Possibilities of using fields like that

121
00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:54,370
However, there's some dad that has a kindergarten right now that you know

122
00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:58,550
I don't want him having that same conversation with you guys five years from now six years from now

123
00:08:58,650 --> 00:09:00,670
So, just want to bring it to your attention.

124
00:09:00,830 --> 00:09:03,870
This is really important to the key parents in Sunnyvale.

125
00:09:04,250 --> 00:09:06,950
And, you know, we'd like to see some action on it.

126
00:09:07,090 --> 00:09:08,550
So, appreciate you all's help.

127
00:09:09,010 --> 00:09:09,210
Thank you.

128
00:09:09,370 --> 00:09:10,090
Thanks for coming.

129
00:09:10,370 --> 00:09:10,850
Appreciate it.

130
00:09:13,130 --> 00:09:16,490
Nick Talbot, 334, Yosemite Falls Drafts, Sunnyvale.

131
00:09:22,130 --> 00:09:22,630
Thank you, Ben.

132
00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:26,090
Thank you for all your guys' dues, price, price, same topic.

133
00:09:26,730 --> 00:09:30,890
But, you know, just to echo what these guys were saying,

134
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:32,430
we were actually kind of talking for this.

135
00:09:32,430 --> 00:09:38,290
I felt like we were in this exact same position a year ago, talking about these parks, talking

136
00:09:38,290 --> 00:09:42,270
about, you know, designing them, things like that, and here we find ourselves a year

137
00:09:42,270 --> 00:09:43,570
later and nothing's really been done.

138
00:09:44,110 --> 00:09:49,850
And to further expand on that point, you know, I know a lot of times we reference a 2021

139
00:09:50,270 --> 00:09:55,530
master parks plan that's still on the town website that not many things have been checked

140
00:09:55,530 --> 00:09:56,610
off the list, you know.

141
00:09:57,230 --> 00:10:00,470
So to these guys' points, I'm involved with Sarissa.

142
00:10:00,470 --> 00:10:04,490
I get calls every single day because the team doesn't have a place to practice.

143
00:10:04,770 --> 00:10:08,130
Kids don't have a place to go, don't have something to do, and we're constantly juggling

144
00:10:08,130 --> 00:10:09,130
that and trying to figure it out.

145
00:10:09,850 --> 00:10:11,630
The school district has worked well with us.

146
00:10:11,830 --> 00:10:15,550
I think there's an opportunity that's referenced in that park's plan to partner with the school

147
00:10:15,550 --> 00:10:19,770
district on more facilities, do some things like jobs in park places that we own.

148
00:10:21,630 --> 00:10:26,550
But just asking you guys to take some action to further move this long, a little quicker

149
00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:30,390
so that like these guys say, we don't have a whole other generation of kids here that

150
00:10:30,390 --> 00:10:32,090
miss out on the opportunities here and down.

151
00:10:32,650 --> 00:10:33,690
So, appreciate you guys.

152
00:10:34,410 --> 00:10:35,090
Thank you, Dick.

153
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,760
Trevor Lunt, 281 Ashwood Lane.

154
00:10:42,970 --> 00:10:44,430
Give us a shout out to you.

155
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:46,070
Good evening, council, staff.

156
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:48,050
Same topic.

157
00:10:49,070 --> 00:10:52,250
When I was getting ready to do this, I realized that this is probably,

158
00:10:52,430 --> 00:10:54,270
I noticed my third, possibly fourth year

159
00:10:54,270 --> 00:10:56,310
of kind of putting together some information

160
00:10:56,310 --> 00:11:01,790
for you guys about the youth baseball here in Sunnyvale.

161
00:11:01,790 --> 00:11:14,170
So I've been directly involved with it for now about eight years, whether that's a coach, commissioner, and we're still growing.

162
00:11:14,410 --> 00:11:20,070
Every year, I tell you guys, this year, we've got 135-plus baseball players only signed up with Sarissa.

163
00:11:20,850 --> 00:11:27,190
We've also got two or three teams in town that I know of, could be a couple more that aren't tied with Sarissa.

164
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:36,290
more of like a travel type situation. We've also got softball. So we've probably got close to

165
00:11:36,290 --> 00:11:42,670
20 teams that played baseball on here comprised of anywhere from 9 to 13, 14, maybe more kids on

166
00:11:42,670 --> 00:11:43,250
each team.

167
00:11:45,810 --> 00:11:53,670
The demand is there. The supply's not. And that's why I feel that this council is essentially

168
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:59,190
failing like they said, not a generation but a group of kids. My kid won't be able to benefit

169
00:11:59,190 --> 00:12:04,750
it from. My girl might, if she sticks with it, she's not exactly showing that that's

170
00:12:04,750 --> 00:12:09,770
going to be the case, but that's fine. But there's a whole group of kids here that would

171
00:12:09,770 --> 00:12:14,550
benefit. And I don't throw something new out there. Since we've been talking about

172
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:21,110
this, Johnson's now outdated. It's outdated. We might as well have that little backstop

173
00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:27,190
by the church on Beltline at this point. No, it's not that bad. But we're getting there

174
00:12:28,350 --> 00:12:34,790
while we just sit and take no action so I wanted to give you guys a quick run

175
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:40,410
down as I always do second grade alone so we're just talking about the

176
00:12:40,410 --> 00:12:43,870
elementary school not talking about intermediate we're not talking about middle

177
00:12:43,870 --> 00:12:53,890
elementary school alone and down there are eight teams of kids if you add in the

178
00:12:53,890 --> 00:12:59,150
intermediate school that adds four more. You're at 12. Middle school has one as

179
00:12:59,150 --> 00:13:06,190
well. That suggests Sarissa. And we have one field for 13 teams to try and get

180
00:13:06,190 --> 00:13:13,710
better at. Sports is important. It keeps our kids from going down the wrong path

181
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:14,930
at a certain point in life.

182
00:13:17,820 --> 00:13:21,420
And we're not doing anything to cultivate that. Some of

183
00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:29,380
us are, but we need your support. We need your support. Again, we have one field. I want

184
00:13:29,380 --> 00:13:35,540
to give a shout out. I know Kodat got his due earlier, but also to Zatgear and Cody Stutz

185
00:13:35,540 --> 00:13:40,720
with the high school. They help us out a lot with letting us borrow their fields softball

186
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,460
in high school. So they help accommodate all these kids. We got a lot of construction coming

187
00:13:45,460 --> 00:13:51,720
up with the passing of this bond. And if we start breaking ground someday at

188
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,780
Jopson, there's going to be a little time where we've got to, you know, figure

189
00:13:56,780 --> 00:14:01,460
something out, but we've got to start acting. Otherwise, it's going to be our

190
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:07,280
grandkids that get this. So I'm asking you guys as a group, somebody take

191
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,440
action and spearhead this and get it going for this town. And I appreciate your

192
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:19,660
time. Thank you, Trello. Everybody has Rachel? Yes, Sarah Mark McClune, 245 Barnes Bridge

193
00:14:19,660 --> 00:14:19,920
Road.

194
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,280
I'm here to echo what they're talking about with Sarissa with baseball fields, but

195
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,740
beyond baseball it's also football, soccer, lacrosse. We've got a ton of sports that are

196
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:40,120
growing. A lot of these fields have really big trenches in them. I don't know what else

197
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,560
to call them at this point, but you know simply they're just unusable certain

198
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,860
hearts of the year whether it's too dry or too wet. If it's too wet you don't

199
00:14:49,860 --> 00:14:56,620
want to run out there and destroy the fields either. I do understand that turf

200
00:14:56,620 --> 00:14:59,300
artificial grass is expensive however.

201
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980
In the long term, it's much more beneficial, it's cheaper, and the fields will get used a lot more. The last thing too, I think there's a real opportunity here for the town, Sarissa, and the school district to get some synergies going with fields that are either on campus or have school use town fields and kind of, you know, figure out some way that just more fields can be used in the city.

202
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:33,360
the town, whether it's on campus or on town facilities.

203
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,980
There's a lot of homes being built.

204
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,520
There's more people coming in here.

205
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,940
So whatever we do today, if we decide, you know,

206
00:15:40,180 --> 00:15:41,620
A, B, and C, it needs to be fixed.

207
00:15:41,660 --> 00:15:44,700
Five years from now, it's going to be not enough.

208
00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:48,260
So I do think looking further into the future

209
00:15:48,260 --> 00:15:49,280
is a good idea as well.

210
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,360
Thank you.

211
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:51,200
Thank you.

212
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,220
I appreciate it.

213
00:15:53,780 --> 00:15:54,760
Anybody else who would like to?

214
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,760
Mayor, that's all I have.

215
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,420
Okay, if there's anyone else who would like to come forward,

216
00:15:58,420 --> 00:16:01,080
I want to speak to the council right to please come forward.

217
00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:06,920
No, since can be forwards, we're going to close the public

218
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,480
harbours, moving on to the recreation.

219
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840
Recognition of employee service award recipients.

220
00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:15,580
Mayor and council, I'd like to ask LaTosha Miller, HR manager,

221
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:19,220
to come up to the podium just as a by way of quick introduction.

222
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,900
This is our first formalized service awards program

223
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:26,360
that LaTosha has been instrumental in putting together

224
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,440
for all of our employees.

225
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,800
Overall, we have a fairly young workforce in terms of years of service to the town,

226
00:16:32,940 --> 00:16:35,340
but we do have a few that have been here for quite a while.

227
00:16:35,460 --> 00:16:40,840
We do have a 20-year service award winner who couldn't be here tonight because she is ill,

228
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,180
but we are hoping to reschedule her to the next council meeting.

229
00:16:44,740 --> 00:16:49,700
And I can get the police and fire chief maybe to convince their employee of the year winners,

230
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:51,300
maybe to show up at that meeting as well.

231
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,780
We'll have a few more introductions at the next meeting.

232
00:16:53,780 --> 00:16:58,220
But right now we do have some five-year service award winners that we would like to introduce

233
00:16:58,220 --> 00:17:04,040
and Kudos to Latasha Miller for kind of steer heading this program for us for our first

234
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,500
ever service awards program for town employees.

235
00:17:08,140 --> 00:17:08,940
Thank you.

236
00:17:09,060 --> 00:17:10,500
Good evening, Mary and Council.

237
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:14,240
I would like to thank the town manager, Jeff Jones, and each of you for this opportunity

238
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,640
to present our first annual service awards.

239
00:17:17,180 --> 00:17:21,480
As a retiree from the Texas Department of Transportation, I understand that commitment

240
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,120
an individual makes to an organization, and I am so proud to be a part of the town of

241
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:30,700
Sunnyvale and the commitment that each of these employees have accomplished.

242
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:36,840
So again, I'm excited to welcome you to our first annual service award ceremony, a special

243
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,620
occasion dedicated to celebrating our incredible employees.

244
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,200
We are thrilled to acknowledge and celebrate the amazing dedication and contributions of our

245
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,740
employees who have reached significant milestones with the town of Sunnyvale.

246
00:17:47,740 --> 00:17:52,780
So, service awards are under employees who have reached milestones in five year increments.

247
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:57,840
The town of San Diego would like to thank each of you for your unwavering dedication

248
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,940
and for being an essential part of the town.

249
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,020
Your service inspires us all and we look forward to celebrating many more future achievements.

250
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,920
So everybody help me celebrate their milestones as a reminder of the power of teamwork and

251
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,420
commitment.

252
00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:18,020
So, I would like to invite our Chief Vegas and Lieutenant Bromett, please.

253
00:18:25,940 --> 00:18:29,180
And please, after you finish, I would like you to come back and take a picture with our

254
00:18:29,180 --> 00:18:30,540
amazing counsel in our town, Mitch.

255
00:18:31,060 --> 00:18:36,600
So, this award is presented to Benton Bromett, better known as BJ.

256
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:40,640
We love it.

257
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:49,600
So he is currently the lieutenant and I appreciate along with the town his commitment and his dedication to the to the city or to the town

258
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:55,380
I'm sorry, so he has been presented with his award here and we also as with the police department

259
00:18:55,380 --> 00:18:59,940
We give him a service bar. This bar attaches to his uniform. So this is his five-year

260
00:19:12,550 --> 00:19:13,150
All

261
00:19:24,410 --> 00:19:26,090
right, good evening, Mayor and Council.

262
00:19:27,450 --> 00:19:32,490
Tonight I'd like to present Zach Guthrie with his five-year award.

263
00:19:33,410 --> 00:19:38,470
Zach plays a pretty critical role for the town's public works department and

264
00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:44,030
that he's our primary inspector of not only city infrastructure jobs, but

265
00:19:44,030 --> 00:19:47,510
also private development work as well.

266
00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:55,790
and he's also been involved in some of the storm water inspection program that we've implemented here at the town as well.

267
00:19:56,010 --> 00:20:03,050
And so I'm a half of William Kerney who wasn't able to be here tonight due to his mom having some health issues.

268
00:20:03,550 --> 00:20:06,950
I'd like to go ahead and present this award to Mr. Zachary Guthrie.

269
00:20:14,660 --> 00:20:17,240
So Mark, we'd also like to call Apollo Pedro.

270
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,860
All right,

271
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:41,480
and next we have Mr. Paulo, Pedro, and Paulo, he's obviously been with us for five years as well, and it's part of our key team within the Public Works Department.

272
00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:56,040
I can't tell you how many times I've gone out on a water meter break, waterline break, and Paulo's out there in the middle of it, whether it's rain or cold freezing cold or hot July day.

273
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:02,320
And, you know, Paulo's really been a valuable employee to us and we're really blessed to have him here at the town of Sonnyville.

274
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,520
So Paulo, congratulations on five years to the town.

275
00:21:12,780 --> 00:21:15,180
Next Rachel Kahabi, please and this star.

276
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,700
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

277
00:21:30,460 --> 00:21:33,860
I want to present this to Liz, Liz Star.

278
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,760
She's been with us for five years.

279
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:38,080
She does an outstanding job in utility billing.

280
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,340
She's always friendly, she's smiling.

281
00:21:40,340 --> 00:21:46,960
She will go over and beyond a lot of days to help people out even if it's not even in her department

282
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,260
So even if I thank you lays out appreciate all that you do

283
00:21:50,260 --> 00:21:51,120
And

284
00:21:57,450 --> 00:22:00,190
next I would like to ask Chief Coyote and Peggy

285
00:22:00,190 --> 00:22:02,710
Good evening

286
00:22:09,260 --> 00:22:14,620
All three of the wonderful people I get to present tonight have all been for five years

287
00:22:14,620 --> 00:22:20,660
Though Peggy was also part time for a while before that. She's of our fire services administration

288
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:27,540
I know when I first came and was trying to figure out a lot of where things were and how

289
00:22:27,540 --> 00:22:32,300
things were done, she was very invaluable to helping me figure a lot of that out.

290
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,100
So I'm thankful for her and for her time that's here so that she knew all that back history

291
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,000
of stuff to help us out.

292
00:22:39,420 --> 00:22:42,980
So join me in appreciating her five years of service.

293
00:22:49,670 --> 00:22:50,610
Her name is, please.

294
00:22:59,490 --> 00:22:59,730
Okay.

295
00:22:59,730 --> 00:23:07,790
Okay, Morrow has again been with us five years and was actually this year's firefighter

296
00:23:07,790 --> 00:23:08,230
of the year.

297
00:23:08,890 --> 00:23:10,650
And it's actually his second time doing it, correct?

298
00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:15,350
I believe it's the second time to win it, so twice in five years.

299
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:25,240
Not least would be Mike Youngblood.

300
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,540
So Michael Youngblood or everybody knows him as YB.

301
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:41,760
He may have been here five years, but he actually is a wealth of experience for us because he

302
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,400
retired from Rallette before he came here.

303
00:23:44,660 --> 00:23:48,000
So he actually brings a lot of experience to a very young department.

304
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,220
So we're very excited for the time that he's been with us.

305
00:23:59,090 --> 00:24:04,310
If I can please ask Council in all our recipients to come back up please and take a photo and thank

306
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:05,450
you so much everybody.

307
00:24:17,870 --> 00:24:21,510
I'm going to be here.

308
00:24:23,530 --> 00:24:25,010
That's like a block.

309
00:24:31,150 --> 00:24:37,130
Let's see if there's a couple of steps.

310
00:24:38,770 --> 00:24:42,050
We've got room in behind here to you.

311
00:24:42,050 --> 00:24:43,430
Here we go.

312
00:24:43,950 --> 00:24:45,550
You get a solid under Rachel.

313
00:24:45,790 --> 00:24:46,110
Okay.

314
00:24:48,230 --> 00:24:48,710
No.

315
00:24:49,610 --> 00:24:49,790
No.

316
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:50,810
All right.

317
00:24:53,250 --> 00:24:53,950
That's fun.

318
00:25:04,020 --> 00:25:04,280
Thank you.

319
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:05,720
Congratulations.

320
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:06,560
Congratulations.

321
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:07,520
Thank you.

322
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,440
Congratulations.

323
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,400
Thank you.

324
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:11,680
Thank you.

325
00:25:12,580 --> 00:25:16,480
Thank you.

326
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:25,980
Thank you.

327
00:25:47,860 --> 00:25:54,060
Can we have two items on the consent agenda? I am going to pull item number 1, I am

328
00:25:54,060 --> 00:25:59,140
about right? I'm sorry, you are right. There are four items and a

329
00:25:59,140 --> 00:26:02,940
consideration that I'm going to pull the first one and we'll bring it back later,

330
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:12,200
right Rachel? Right after you do this motion. The first two. Okay, there was item I won.

331
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Yeah. So item number two, three and four would anyone like to remove any of those

332
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,320
items from the consideration?

333
00:26:24,740 --> 00:26:26,400
Okay, if not, can I have a motion to approve

334
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,440
Two consideration items, item I, two, three, and four.

335
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,800
So may I make a motion to approve, consent, and agenda items, two, three, and four, as presented?

336
00:26:36,460 --> 00:26:36,820
Second.

337
00:26:37,540 --> 00:26:40,020
Motion made by Mr. Fidz, seconded by Mr. Eldridge.

338
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,800
Everyone heard the motion, all in favor, signify?

339
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,020
All opposed, motion passed, six of Mr. Allen, he's absent.

340
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,900
Rachel, I've been bringing that all back.

341
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,880
Mayor and council, we can actually go ahead and vote on it.

342
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,440
I just needed you to pull it from consent so that I can make a correction.

343
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:02,160
On the agenda, it states that it's the minutes for December the 9th, 2024, and that should have stated January the 13th, 2024.

344
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,560
So if in your motion you could state to approve the minutes for January the 13th, I would appreciate that.

345
00:27:08,020 --> 00:27:12,900
Okay. Council, that's the only reason why I poured that adjunct off of the consent portion.

346
00:27:13,220 --> 00:27:15,660
Okay. Other questions or discussions on it?

347
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,820
If not, can I have a motion, please?

348
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:24,240
May I make a motion to approve minutes from January 13th, 2025, as presented?

349
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,060
Thank you.

350
00:27:25,660 --> 00:27:26,860
I would have heard the motion.

351
00:27:27,740 --> 00:27:28,220
Second.

352
00:27:28,660 --> 00:27:28,900
Second.

353
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,280
Motion made by Mr. Finch.

354
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,320
Second by Eldridge.

355
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,020
I would have heard the motion.

356
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,240
Are there any discussions?

357
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,720
If not, all in favor, signify.

358
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:40,700
All opposed.

359
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:41,340
Motion passed.

360
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:42,680
Sixth of its reality is absent.

361
00:27:43,780 --> 00:27:44,380
Thank you.

362
00:27:45,340 --> 00:27:47,380
Moving on to the presentation of the updates,

363
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,420
portion of the agenda.

364
00:27:48,860 --> 00:27:50,060
I am about J-1.

365
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,420
Discuss and hear an update related to the quarterly financial report.

366
00:27:55,420 --> 00:27:57,220
Board at the investment report.

367
00:27:58,300 --> 00:27:58,820
Good evening,

368
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,920
Mayor, Council, staff, audience,

369
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,200
Rachel, can you pull up?

370
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,980
Do you need quarterly or do you need the investment?

371
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,460
The quarterly, please.

372
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:14,020
Thank you.

373
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:14,560
You're welcome.

374
00:28:19,570 --> 00:28:20,230
I had a PowerPoint.

375
00:28:21,370 --> 00:28:21,670
Sorry.

376
00:28:22,030 --> 00:28:22,890
Let me find that for you.

377
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:34,660
Is this it, Michaela?

378
00:28:35,860 --> 00:28:38,060
There's another one just like that, but it's for the financials.

379
00:28:41,310 --> 00:28:42,810
I'm going to need you all to start the legal one.

380
00:28:42,990 --> 00:28:45,630
It says financials.

381
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,660
I'm sorry about that, that's okay.

382
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,660
Today I'm here to present our quarterly financials for December 31st, 2024.

383
00:28:58,740 --> 00:29:02,440
This is the first quarter of the new year.

384
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,020
We're approximately 25% through the year.

385
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:16,420
The general fund revenue is at $5.7 million and we've collected about 36% of our revenue.

386
00:29:16,420 --> 00:29:19,820
even though we're about 25% through the year.

387
00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:25,060
This is really on par with kind of where we were last year at 33%.

388
00:29:25,060 --> 00:29:27,880
Again, we received the majority of our property taxes

389
00:29:28,190 --> 00:29:30,820
in the end of December and beginning of January.

390
00:29:33,180 --> 00:29:36,400
Out of our total revenue collected on the year today,

391
00:29:37,230 --> 00:29:42,000
our revenue, as you can see, is 57% is our property tax.

392
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:49,240
And so we budgeted to get about 39% of our total revenue as property tax but as of right

393
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:54,180
now the revenue that we've received to date most of its property tax and you'll see

394
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,400
that this quarter as well as next quarter.

395
00:30:00,140 --> 00:30:23,400
Right now, sales tax is up about 1% compared to where we budgeted. We did do a very flat budget. Our budget was 1.6 million. We've collected about 1.7 million to date. General fund sales tax as well as 4B is also the sales tax split between the general fund and 4B.

396
00:30:28,610 --> 00:30:33,350
General fund expense is budgeted at 15 million. And we've spent about 3 million today.

397
00:30:33,350 --> 00:30:36,190
which is about 19.7% of the total budget.

398
00:30:36,950 --> 00:30:40,070
So we are on target to actually be a little bit below budget.

399
00:30:40,650 --> 00:30:44,530
We do have a contingency of about $500,000 in there.

400
00:30:45,050 --> 00:30:47,910
Just in case sales tax comes in lower than what we expected.

401
00:30:48,370 --> 00:30:52,710
So if you pull that contingency out, we're about 21% of expenditure.

402
00:30:52,970 --> 00:30:57,170
So we're still under the 25% benchmark that we're looking for.

403
00:30:58,890 --> 00:31:02,670
For the Water and Serif Fund, I'm sorry, excuse me,

404
00:31:02,670 --> 00:31:07,350
the debt service fund. We have collected about 40% of the property taxes for our debt.

405
00:31:07,730 --> 00:31:12,410
We are getting ready to make our payments here. They're due February 15th.

406
00:31:12,450 --> 00:31:20,610
We'll be paying approximately $3 million out in debt service payments for this fiscal year.

407
00:31:22,860 --> 00:31:30,280
For utility fund, revenues budgeted at $10 million. And we have collected about $2.3 million.

408
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,460
and we're about 23% of revenue.

409
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,320
This is our low water usage month,

410
00:31:35,540 --> 00:31:38,840
so typically your higher usage months are gonna be

411
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,040
in the summertime when people watering and stuff like that.

412
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,660
So we are pretty close to where we expect to be.

413
00:31:45,860 --> 00:31:49,340
Also, the water rate increase will go into effect

414
00:31:49,340 --> 00:31:51,840
on the next bill as well.

415
00:31:52,220 --> 00:31:55,860
So that will also affect some of the revenue.

416
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:03,740
4 expenses were at 15.5 million which is about 20.5 percent of the budget and a good portion

417
00:32:03,740 --> 00:32:09,320
of that is because we have already spent 1.5 million on projects and we did budget

418
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:14,060
to spend down 5 million dollars this year for capital projects and our total capital

419
00:32:14,060 --> 00:32:16,300
projects budget is about 7.1 million.

420
00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:26,120
So we are paying for Harris Road additions, the utility, water line relocation on US 80.

421
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:32,140
So those are the things that are coming out of the water and sewer budget, as well as

422
00:32:32,140 --> 00:32:35,660
the trip road water line that one's coming out as well.

423
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:42,540
So for water sales and sewer sales you can see right here how we've compared to prior

424
00:32:42,540 --> 00:32:51,040
years, 24, 25 in budget. Again, we are over budget and so we're looking good for coming up.

425
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,060
Again, water cells are down in December just a little bit but that's because this is a low

426
00:32:55,060 --> 00:33:01,120
usage month. So we expect those to pick up in this summer for sure.

427
00:33:04,180 --> 00:33:06,520
This is for the 4B. Again,

428
00:33:07,220 --> 00:33:09,980
4B revenues at 28.2%.

429
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:17,520
We don't really have a lot of expenses yet, only about $193,000 and that's because we haven't

430
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,880
really gotten to the Rails2Trails design project.

431
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:27,100
Once we get into that, we'll see some more expenses come online and again, the sales and

432
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:36,140
use tax is up about 1% from where we expected it to be and that's all I have.

433
00:33:36,140 --> 00:33:42,740
What a quick question. Everything the expense revenue and expense everything is asked you expected or any surprises

434
00:33:43,860 --> 00:33:47,880
Everything is pretty much as we expected we are monitoring trends

435
00:33:48,460 --> 00:33:51,920
To see what's going to happen with the interest rates and some of our interest income

436
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,780
But we have other offsetting revenues that have made up for that and so

437
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:03,000
We are expected to meet budget and maybe be just a little bit below budget like I said we did build in

438
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:11,040
500,000 dollar contingency just in case something were to happen, and we don't expect to use that, so we expect to

439
00:34:12,220 --> 00:34:14,720
Bring that into next fiscal year

440
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,900
Do you have anything else?

441
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,960
No, I don't I don't just call it so do you have any questions for the killer?

442
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,960
Okay, thank you very much. Thank you

443
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,020
I'm gonna turn it over to Rachel now to go over our investment report

444
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:33,140
Thank you

445
00:34:40,790 --> 00:34:41,730
Good evening.

446
00:34:42,630 --> 00:34:45,590
What I want to do first is just go through the actual report.

447
00:34:45,910 --> 00:34:49,110
I do have a real short PowerPoint at the very end that I'll show you.

448
00:34:49,650 --> 00:34:55,950
The report that you have in your packet is for the quarter end December 31st.

449
00:34:55,990 --> 00:34:57,790
I've seen this layout before.

450
00:34:58,990 --> 00:35:01,350
This is going to be a summary of our holdings.

451
00:35:01,510 --> 00:35:05,730
It shows our custodians, our face-amount market value or book value.

452
00:35:05,730 --> 00:35:09,930
We have $38.9 million in holdings right now.

453
00:35:10,630 --> 00:35:16,930
We did get $7 million from our tax notes back in October.

454
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:18,930
That's included in this portfolio,

455
00:35:18,930 --> 00:35:20,710
so that's why you're going to see a difference

456
00:35:20,710 --> 00:35:22,770
from the previous to this current.

457
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:31,340
On the next page, this just shows the market book values

458
00:35:31,340 --> 00:35:35,680
for each month in the quarter, October, November and December.

459
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:43,920
I just want to point out the yield to maturity at market on that page, just 4.69 and I have

460
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,340
a slide at the end that I'm going to explain a little bit more about that while that's

461
00:35:47,340 --> 00:35:47,780
important.

462
00:35:53,250 --> 00:35:57,090
Oh no, I didn't want to start that yet, but that's okay, that's okay, I'm just, I'm going

463
00:35:57,090 --> 00:36:01,930
through the report first and then I was going to do the PowerPoint, but we're pretty close

464
00:36:01,930 --> 00:36:02,610
for almost there.

465
00:36:03,830 --> 00:36:08,690
The last, the third page is the distribution by asset category that shows what we have

466
00:36:08,690 --> 00:36:15,070
that invested in, we've got CDs, and then pools, money markets, agency bonds, and municipal

467
00:36:15,070 --> 00:36:15,670
bonds.

468
00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:22,930
And the last page of the report shows the different funds that we have, the money

469
00:36:22,930 --> 00:36:23,910
invested in.

470
00:36:24,350 --> 00:36:30,050
Most of it's going to be in general fund and water and sewer fund, and then we have others

471
00:36:30,050 --> 00:36:31,790
just in various other funds.

472
00:36:32,610 --> 00:36:35,650
So there is an additional report that's included this time.

473
00:36:35,650 --> 00:36:39,170
This is information that we have to show you.

474
00:36:39,230 --> 00:36:42,090
It's part of the Public Fund's Investment Act requirements.

475
00:36:42,650 --> 00:36:46,270
This is a detailed accounting of the holdings that we have.

476
00:36:46,710 --> 00:36:50,050
It's going to have a lot of the same information, but just a little bit more

477
00:36:50,470 --> 00:36:51,850
than you see on your summary.

478
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:58,470
Additional information on this report will show you the credit ratings of the investments,

479
00:36:59,210 --> 00:37:02,310
the accrued interest, and also the maturity dates.

480
00:37:02,310 --> 00:37:06,310
and those are items that you did not see on the first report.

481
00:37:07,990 --> 00:37:11,210
Okay, now I'm going to do this PowerPoint for you real quick.

482
00:37:26,250 --> 00:37:30,490
So out of the 38.9 million we have in total holdings.

483
00:37:31,010 --> 00:37:36,050
About 68% of that is in liquid funds.

484
00:37:36,370 --> 00:37:40,890
That's going to be your money markets and your local government investment pools.

485
00:37:41,330 --> 00:37:43,290
It's about 26.5 million.

486
00:37:43,290 --> 00:37:47,450
The other 32% is in the fixed income securities.

487
00:37:47,970 --> 00:37:50,950
That's going to be your agency bonds, municipal bonds,

488
00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:51,910
and your CDs.

489
00:37:52,670 --> 00:37:55,290
That makes up about 12.4%.

490
00:37:55,290 --> 00:37:57,150
I mean, 12.4 million.

491
00:38:00,510 --> 00:38:05,230
The next slide is the performance for the last quarter.

492
00:38:05,570 --> 00:38:08,970
So our benchmark is the three month US Treasury.

493
00:38:09,570 --> 00:38:13,110
That was at 4.39% for 12.31.

494
00:38:13,110 --> 00:38:24,610
And our portfolio average yield to maturity is 4.69 and that's important because it shows that we're outperforming our benchmark by 30 basis points.

495
00:38:25,710 --> 00:38:26,310
Excellent.

496
00:38:31,620 --> 00:38:36,700
So this next slide is just a comparison of where we were last year about this time.

497
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,660
So the three month treasury, our benchmark was at 5.44%.

498
00:38:41,660 --> 00:38:50,420
So over the last year, it's dropped all the way down to 4.39%, so it just shows you the trend in the interest rates.

499
00:38:53,830 --> 00:38:57,930
So the Fed lowered the rates about 1% last year.

500
00:38:58,210 --> 00:39:02,530
And so we already are gearing up for additional rate cuts in 2025.

501
00:39:02,530 --> 00:39:04,350
They're already talking about doing those.

502
00:39:08,690 --> 00:39:15,490
So the objectives for the investments we want to continue to diversify.

503
00:39:15,490 --> 00:39:21,070
So investing in fixed income securities to lock in the yield, this is going to help offset

504
00:39:21,070 --> 00:39:23,730
any further decon in the interest rates.

505
00:39:24,450 --> 00:39:31,170
So we purchase CDs and agency and municipal bonds that have a fixed maturity so that

506
00:39:31,170 --> 00:39:32,970
it does not matter what the Fed is doing.

507
00:39:33,090 --> 00:39:37,290
We are going to be locked in on an interest rate if we purchase those now.

508
00:39:38,530 --> 00:39:40,230
Also cash flow needs.

509
00:39:41,070 --> 00:39:47,190
What we do is we ladder out the portfolio with staggering maturity dates so that not everything

510
00:39:47,190 --> 00:39:49,150
is coming due all at one time.

511
00:39:49,810 --> 00:39:55,610
So as you buy investments and they have different maturity dates, you are constantly having

512
00:39:55,610 --> 00:40:00,790
things that are maturing and you can re-evaluate where your liquidity needs are at that time,

513
00:40:01,130 --> 00:40:07,810
should you hold on to the process of that maturity, put it into an investment pool, or do you

514
00:40:07,810 --> 00:40:08,810
want to reinvest it.

515
00:40:08,810 --> 00:40:11,350
So, it just depends on where you are on the cash flow.

516
00:40:11,490 --> 00:40:14,270
Do you need it now or can you go ahead and invest it again?

517
00:40:15,950 --> 00:40:18,390
So we can only do that out to three years.

518
00:40:18,910 --> 00:40:23,350
So that is the maximum maturity that we can go out on that.

519
00:40:24,210 --> 00:40:31,390
So the Public Fund's Investment Act is what governs our policy and safety and liquidity

520
00:40:31,390 --> 00:40:34,610
and yield are the three drivers of that.

521
00:40:34,610 --> 00:40:41,650
So it's always going to be safety first, then the liquidity has to be liquid, and then the yield is the last.

522
00:40:42,310 --> 00:40:43,710
So it's going to be in that order.

523
00:40:43,950 --> 00:40:48,650
So the takeaway from this is, I just want you guys to know that we're following their policy,

524
00:40:49,710 --> 00:40:53,410
and the tax payer funds are being safely invested.

525
00:40:53,930 --> 00:40:55,650
We're doing everything according to the book.

526
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,920
Thank you, Rachel. Excellent, excellent.

527
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:08,000
I'd like to add thank you very much for all you and your team to do that's great to see these results.

528
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,320
Thank you.

529
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:09,740
Thank you.

530
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:13,500
Do you have any questions for Rachel or Luckella?

531
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:17,060
Thank you very much.

532
00:41:17,460 --> 00:41:17,980
I do.

533
00:41:18,180 --> 00:41:19,760
Have we thought about investing in the crypto?

534
00:41:27,750 --> 00:41:28,030
Okay.

535
00:41:28,610 --> 00:41:32,990
I have the budget to a presentation and discussion related to mobility plan update.

536
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,040
Good evening, again, Mayor and Council.

537
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:52,900
So, tonight we're going to provide a presentation to you all on the outcome of the mobility plan.

538
00:41:53,900 --> 00:42:03,840
You might remember that we, the town hired Kimley Horne and associates last January of 2024 to create this mobility plan for us.

539
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:11,240
That would essentially provide a blueprint for future thoroughfares through the city as well as trail connections.

540
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:16,140
and also an impact fee update to our roadway impact fees.

541
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,800
And the last time that the talent's thoroughfare plan was actually updated was in 2018.

542
00:42:22,620 --> 00:42:26,780
So it's been a number of years since we last did that update.

543
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:33,200
So tonight, Kimmy Horn and Associates, Jeff Whitaker with the firm will be walking us through

544
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:39,660
the recommendations for future thoroughfare needs, as well as intersection improvements and

545
00:42:39,660 --> 00:42:44,860
trail connections. And so with that I'd like to introduce Jeff Whittaker.

546
00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:48,570
We're here to Jeff.

547
00:42:48,970 --> 00:42:51,270
Good evening. Thanks for being here.

548
00:42:51,790 --> 00:42:53,610
Appreciate it. Thank you, Mayor and Council.

549
00:42:54,570 --> 00:42:58,090
So I'm going to walk you through three items today. One is the Thurfer Plan. That's really

550
00:42:58,090 --> 00:43:03,310
your street roadway map. The second is your functional classification cross sections. That's

551
00:43:03,310 --> 00:43:07,350
what the streets look like. The amount of ride away you're going to need. And then lastly,

552
00:43:07,350 --> 00:43:12,310
the trails map which is where the pedestrians and folks will be walking and connecting

553
00:43:12,310 --> 00:43:17,110
some parks and neighborhoods. So a little bit of what is a thoroughfare plan? It's a very

554
00:43:17,830 --> 00:43:21,250
map that I'm used to looking at but not everyone's used to looking at. It's really the

555
00:43:21,250 --> 00:43:25,790
main purpose of a thoroughfare map is to provide the framework for where the cities, roads

556
00:43:25,790 --> 00:43:29,390
are going to look like in the future. One of the most important things it does is it preserves

557
00:43:29,390 --> 00:43:34,190
the right-of-way that the town can use for future roadways. These are roadways that are more,

558
00:43:34,190 --> 00:43:37,550
or not necessarily local streets, but these are the roadways that are what we call collectors,

559
00:43:38,030 --> 00:43:41,970
which are connecting large streets to the neighborhoods or larger streets like the

560
00:43:41,970 --> 00:43:46,710
arterial network system. One of the things that really does is ensure that connectivity

561
00:43:47,370 --> 00:43:50,670
with the town and the surrounding communities to make sure we're providing for that and

562
00:43:50,670 --> 00:43:55,070
lastly it provides access to grants and federal funds. If you're on the transportation plan

563
00:43:55,070 --> 00:43:59,990
and on the federal highway system the national highway system and allows you to be open to some

564
00:43:59,990 --> 00:44:01,670
funding that you may not otherwise be open to.

565
00:44:02,870 --> 00:44:04,890
So here's a map of the current Thurfer Plan.

566
00:44:04,970 --> 00:44:07,010
It was adopted as Mark said in the previous conference

567
00:44:07,010 --> 00:44:07,390
of plan.

568
00:44:08,270 --> 00:44:10,190
All the Thurfer Planes on the Snap exist today.

569
00:44:10,430 --> 00:44:12,530
They just might not be constructed

570
00:44:12,530 --> 00:44:13,610
to their ultimate configuration.

571
00:44:14,250 --> 00:44:16,130
That means they might still need a little bit of improvements

572
00:44:16,890 --> 00:44:19,050
such as the construction that's ongoing in the community.

573
00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:22,230
It also does not identify any future intersection

574
00:44:22,230 --> 00:44:22,690
improvements.

575
00:44:25,070 --> 00:44:26,990
So we want to update the existing plan

576
00:44:26,990 --> 00:44:28,770
based on really five four factors.

577
00:44:29,470 --> 00:44:31,190
We wanted to look at the congestion.

578
00:44:31,190 --> 00:44:35,090
and we wanted to take a technical analysis and look at not only the traffic volumes today

579
00:44:35,590 --> 00:44:38,930
but the traffic volumes in the future and make recommendations based on that.

580
00:44:39,350 --> 00:44:44,370
We also wanted to analyze safety data to really understand the safety concerns and looking at

581
00:44:44,370 --> 00:44:49,130
different intersection improvements that can assist with those safety concerns.

582
00:44:50,590 --> 00:44:55,650
We also looked at the future land use plan and projected future traffic volumes to understand

583
00:44:55,650 --> 00:44:59,970
what traffic council looked like by using the travel demand model. The region has a whole

584
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,880
Local has a travel domain model that projects traffic across the entire Greater North Texas area, and we realize that model line to really understand what the regional impacts to the town of Sonnyville would be. And that really dives into those future regional facilities. It's really important to know how the future regional facilities are going to impact the roadway network and the community. So as part of that projecting the future, we collected a lot of data throughout the town. We collected at 20 different sites. We also pulled in some information from NCTTA as well as the

585
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,140
the North Central Texas Council of Governments and TechStyles to really understand what the

586
00:45:33,140 --> 00:45:37,460
volumes would be. On the map you see in front of you, the top volume is the current existing

587
00:45:37,460 --> 00:45:42,400
count based on the data. The volume below that is the 2045 projected count. And we're

588
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,860
using those projected counts to really make sure that we're planning the roadways to be

589
00:45:45,860 --> 00:45:51,540
appropriately sized for the community. The way we size those roadways is what we call

590
00:45:51,540 --> 00:45:55,960
level service. If you will, in the traffic engineering community, level service is like a report

591
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,560
If you get an A, B, or C, that using means you're doing good, that's acceptable level service.

592
00:46:01,020 --> 00:46:04,080
That's actually the acceptable level service for the town of Sunnyville.

593
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,780
If you get a D or E, that's tolerable.

594
00:46:07,420 --> 00:46:10,560
Some communities and adjacent communities that may be okay with them.

595
00:46:11,220 --> 00:46:15,960
But D and E is generally saying, typically you'll see that during the peak period,

596
00:46:16,180 --> 00:46:18,820
you know, your AM commute to work, your PM commute back home from work,

597
00:46:19,220 --> 00:46:20,360
and then F is usually unacceptable.

598
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,360
What we usually talk to say, the reason we included intersections on this,

599
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,860
as most people when they drive, they don't get frustrated on the street, they get frustrated

600
00:46:27,860 --> 00:46:31,020
and they get stopped at the traffic signals, they go through intersections, so we thought

601
00:46:31,020 --> 00:46:34,440
it was important to make sure we put the right intersections here to optimize that

602
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:35,140
level of service.

603
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,660
So a few of the changes on the proposed thoroughfro plan that I wanted to go over with you

604
00:46:40,660 --> 00:46:45,280
on the left hand side of the markups, really as the community's approaching buildout and

605
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,100
as they're trying to see what they have, they're just minor tweaks to the thoroughfro plan.

606
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,400
One of the items we looked at was townies boulevard.

607
00:46:52,340 --> 00:46:55,440
increasing that from a current two-lane undivided collector to a four-lane major

608
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,360
divide our chair. We'll describe in a little bit why we made that decision with

609
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,840
the impacts of some regional facilities. We also want to include three new

610
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,500
collectors and I'll describe those three new collectors and we remove two

611
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:10,660
collectors from the Transportation Plan. You'll see that the collectors are

612
00:47:10,660 --> 00:47:14,080
removed from the Transportation Plan were predominantly cleanup items with

613
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:19,120
ongoing projects. So the first two items I wanted to talk about was the urban

614
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:23,020
collectors, north of townies Boulevard. These are new roadways that don't exist today.

615
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,800
They're going to be driven by development. And the reason we put these roads, these aren't

616
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,860
actually the linements, that would be figured out later in process. These aren't,

617
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:34,660
these are to be planned with the development in the future. Really, as I mentioned,

618
00:47:34,860 --> 00:47:38,240
the transportation plan, the thorough foot plan, make sure that you get the right away attain.

619
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,780
They also make sure you get that oxen right away. When this land becomes developed,

620
00:47:42,180 --> 00:47:45,720
those roadways, those actual locations will be determined. Really, with this is just indicating,

621
00:47:45,720 --> 00:47:49,680
We need two north-south connections and one east-west connection.

622
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,240
The second recommendation was the town east-vulavard, east of Collins.

623
00:47:54,660 --> 00:47:58,120
We recommended to upgrade that to a major arterial to go from two lanes to four lanes.

624
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:03,220
Really when we looked at the future projective volumes and the impact was really tied to the

625
00:48:03,220 --> 00:48:03,820
PGBT.

626
00:48:04,340 --> 00:48:07,840
When that comes in, we projected that traffic volumes would increase and we want to make

627
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,420
sure we can accommodate that future capacity.

628
00:48:11,540 --> 00:48:13,960
Two of the roadway removals, Poly Road and Rebecca Road.

629
00:48:14,340 --> 00:48:16,180
Both of these are tied to future projects.

630
00:48:16,180 --> 00:48:21,160
the poly road is the future tollway that's coming through when it comes through there will be some

631
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:26,020
need to reconfigure that roadway with some cul-de-sax. It no longer makes that collector connection,

632
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:31,060
it doesn't connect the roadway, it will operate like a local street so when we're using the model it doesn't

633
00:48:31,820 --> 00:48:36,220
perform the same function as it previously did so we recommend that removal. The other was

634
00:48:36,220 --> 00:48:41,400
Rebecca Road with the AD project, it's text that's re-lining that road and it's just a simple cleanup.

635
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,340
It's that small section on the last section text that will be re-lining that small

636
00:48:45,340 --> 00:48:46,900
Southern section of Rebecca Road.

637
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,520
As I mentioned it was important for us to add

638
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:57,620
intersections for safety also for capacity as well as for funding. The impact

639
00:48:57,620 --> 00:49:02,300
fee program can include projects that identify the master transportation plan so

640
00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:05,280
we wanted to make sure we included intersections on the master transportation plan.

641
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,940
We identified six intersections and we identified the current intersection

642
00:49:09,940 --> 00:49:14,060
control and the proposed intersection control just like anything this is a master

643
00:49:14,060 --> 00:49:20,400
plan and as these plans this is built out for 2035. This is the future plan for the town

644
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:25,520
and as the projects come in the proposed intersection control can be re-evaluated as needed

645
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,980
as the plan is known. But this is the current indication of what we were included in the master

646
00:49:29,980 --> 00:49:38,460
transportation plan. Just an update on the regional facilities, the PGBT toll road. There's an

647
00:49:38,460 --> 00:49:41,240
an alternate to one that is shown on this image,

648
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,300
and it really describes the ramps

649
00:49:43,300 --> 00:49:45,160
that are north of the Barnes Ridge Road

650
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,980
and south is a town east boulevard.

651
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,100
There'll be frontage roads from I-30

652
00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:51,900
to just south of town east boulevard,

653
00:49:52,460 --> 00:49:53,840
and then the main lanes are depressed,

654
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:54,780
the Barnes Ridge Road.

655
00:49:54,900 --> 00:49:56,520
I'll show you a cross section in a minute.

656
00:49:56,820 --> 00:49:58,020
There's really two cross sections

657
00:49:58,020 --> 00:50:00,360
that are associated with the future tollway.

658
00:50:00,540 --> 00:50:01,740
One in the northern part of the city,

659
00:50:01,860 --> 00:50:03,240
the one in the southern part of the city,

660
00:50:03,260 --> 00:50:04,780
when you start going through the flood plains.

661
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,780
They continuously meeting with NCTA and the alignment still being refined, it's not done

662
00:50:10,780 --> 00:50:11,020
yet.

663
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:12,520
The summer 2025.

664
00:50:12,940 --> 00:50:16,260
That's when the final draft environmental impact of study is going to be done.

665
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,200
That's really where they start figuring out that footprint.

666
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:19,700
So it's starting to get close.

667
00:50:20,380 --> 00:50:21,980
They're still working on through the alignments.

668
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,100
Summer 2026, they're complete the schematic.

669
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:26,180
That's when they know what the road's going to look like.

670
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,020
And then there's a several years for final design and even more time for construction.

671
00:50:30,260 --> 00:50:31,140
So it's quite a ways out.

672
00:50:31,340 --> 00:50:33,520
But this is just to give you an update of what that schedule is.

673
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,880
I have one question. You better know the answer. I know they've done many

674
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,540
environmentally back study, and he said, two or three out of the pack.

675
00:50:41,220 --> 00:50:44,420
He's, do they have to repeat that so often? Do you know anything about it?

676
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:49,180
The EIS, usually when the EIS once is completed, it usually doesn't have to be

677
00:50:49,180 --> 00:50:52,420
completed unless the alignment changes or whatnot. I don't know on the specific

678
00:50:52,420 --> 00:50:55,420
roadway. Maybe that's what, maybe that's the reason why. Okay.

679
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,920
Yeah. There, there've been several studies on this in the past. You might recall

680
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,560
textot was actually looking at this roadway. And then a couple of years ago,

681
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:07,780
So they turn it over to NTTA so that NTTA can take it through the entire EIS process.

682
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,440
All times it starts with a conceptual analysis and then once the conceptual done it goes into the official environmental process.

683
00:51:17,740 --> 00:51:24,660
This is the typical section, this is the up to just south of town east Boulevard in the northern part of the town.

684
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,480
Depressed, the roadways depressed, it goes under Barnes Bridge roads with frontage roads.

685
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:34,140
After you get farther south past townings Boulevard it really becomes a bridge

686
00:51:34,140 --> 00:51:38,380
section. No frontage roads and it's just a road it's limited access facility to

687
00:51:38,380 --> 00:51:39,620
continue on the toll road.

688
00:51:41,900 --> 00:51:43,940
A little bit about the functional classifications and

689
00:51:43,940 --> 00:51:49,680
cross sections. The current map on 2017 had five identified functional

690
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,960
classifications with the described right away. We changed that to three. We wanted

691
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,940
to simplify that. I'm just making it easier on the map with three different

692
00:51:56,940 --> 00:52:00,820
alternatives. We also increased the right away and I'll show you an image why we

693
00:52:00,820 --> 00:52:05,640
chose to increase the ride away. On the arterial, the major arterial went from 100 feet to 130 feet

694
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:11,040
and on the collectors, 60 feet to 80 feet. So, I'll first start with the major arterial. The major

695
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:16,340
arterial of the two roadways townies Boulevard and Collins. The really two reasons we increased

696
00:52:16,340 --> 00:52:22,420
the ride away is one to provide a buffer between the development and the roadway. This allows place

697
00:52:22,420 --> 00:52:27,280
for trees, other landscaping buffers, et cetera. It also is a place where we can put trail or sidewalk.

698
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,540
So, as you can see here, we show a 10-foot trail on one side of the facility and a 5-foot

699
00:52:31,540 --> 00:52:33,020
sidewalk on the other side of the facility.

700
00:52:33,340 --> 00:52:37,160
So, really, the right way was to really provide that buffer between the tribal ways and

701
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,580
the developments on each side.

702
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:45,380
Similarly, on the urban collector and rural collector cross sections, on the urban collector

703
00:52:45,380 --> 00:52:45,980
was similar.

704
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,860
We wanted to make sure we had room for that 10-foot trail on one side and the 5-foot sidewalk

705
00:52:49,860 --> 00:52:53,780
on the other and a buffer between the development and the roadway itself.

706
00:52:54,380 --> 00:52:56,660
The rural crop collectors are a little bit different on a rural

707
00:52:56,660 --> 00:52:59,640
collector. You have to have the drainage on the side. So in order for us to put

708
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,960
the sidewalks and the trails, we have to have room outside of that drainage to

709
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,620
be able to put that sidewalk in trails. So these are the reasons we are

710
00:53:06,620 --> 00:53:09,320
recommending increasing the right-of-way dimensions.

711
00:53:11,590 --> 00:53:12,530
Diving a little bit into

712
00:53:12,530 --> 00:53:15,870
the trell's map, and they're all interrelated. The trell's map would be interrelated

713
00:53:15,870 --> 00:53:20,510
to the thoroughfare plan. So the first map on the trell's map is the northern part

714
00:53:20,510 --> 00:53:23,830
of the city. One of the things I'll point out in the northern map is the

715
00:53:23,830 --> 00:53:28,710
The future roads that are there do provide connectivity within the 80 feet of right away.

716
00:53:28,850 --> 00:53:29,290
There would be a trail.

717
00:53:29,570 --> 00:53:32,070
So there's a lot of connectivity providing those neighbors with a future roadways.

718
00:53:32,370 --> 00:53:34,410
Those alignments would be tied and unknown at this time.

719
00:53:35,190 --> 00:53:37,630
The second item is there's two main trail connections.

720
00:53:38,270 --> 00:53:41,670
There's town east, which is the main east west and the future rails trail project.

721
00:53:42,210 --> 00:53:46,450
There are two colors on this on the north-south roadway, one north-south trail.

722
00:53:46,730 --> 00:53:47,250
One is green.

723
00:53:47,710 --> 00:53:48,710
That is the preferred alignment.

724
00:53:49,370 --> 00:53:52,670
And then there's a red alignment that's the alternative alignment that could be considered

725
00:53:52,670 --> 00:53:54,770
but the preferred alignment currently is green.

726
00:53:57,430 --> 00:54:00,770
Similarly to the south, one thing I did not point out,

727
00:54:01,450 --> 00:54:03,210
we got a lot of input on the trails plan

728
00:54:03,210 --> 00:54:04,470
when we did the mobility plan.

729
00:54:04,970 --> 00:54:06,430
We were asking for community surveys,

730
00:54:07,010 --> 00:54:08,510
and we got a lot of comments about trails

731
00:54:08,510 --> 00:54:10,590
on the community survey for the thoroughfare plan.

732
00:54:11,090 --> 00:54:13,590
And one of those was the connection at Jopson Park

733
00:54:14,210 --> 00:54:16,310
to connect the two roadways and have that trail.

734
00:54:16,690 --> 00:54:18,530
But just a preferred path, that's a preferred

735
00:54:18,530 --> 00:54:21,110
by the citizens, the neighborhood, all of them.

736
00:54:21,490 --> 00:54:24,090
The connection was a pretty common theme.

737
00:54:24,090 --> 00:54:32,110
The preferred alternative was the right, was to go with the grain because it avoided being behind the houses.

738
00:54:36,580 --> 00:54:42,420
And similarly to the south we had a lot of input of connecting the parks and the trails from the community.

739
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:52,240
So you can see in the northern part there's a lot of those minor connections that are getting from roadways to some of the parks and some of the existing running walking trails that the town of Sunnyville has.

740
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:58,680
So we're recommending those and to the south, you'll see again that rails the trail project continue south again

741
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:06,580
There's a green line that shows the preferred alternative and a red that shows the alternative really the purpose of this trail is to get to the connection to the

742
00:55:07,060 --> 00:55:15,440
NC Cogs Velo web, which is the region's trail plan the region has its own trail plan the purpose is to connect that and the important piece of that is connecting to that trail

743
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:16,340
I'll open you up for funding.

744
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,220
There's a portion of the trail that is funded.

745
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:28,560
And then I believe that there's another application for a grant to continue that trail farther down south to get to the trail that runs through the ski.

746
00:55:31,620 --> 00:55:36,720
With that, that's the summary of the thoroughfare plan, the cross sections, and as well as the trails plan.

747
00:55:37,380 --> 00:55:38,740
Happy to answer any questions or comments.

748
00:55:38,740 --> 00:55:43,960
Thank you Mr. Vittagal, can you tell me every question for Kim Lianholt?

749
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:46,980
Do you have?

750
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:47,880
No sir.

751
00:55:48,940 --> 00:55:49,160
Okay.

752
00:55:49,620 --> 00:55:50,340
No other comments?

753
00:55:50,900 --> 00:55:51,480
Thank you Jeff.

754
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,140
Thank you Doug for being here tonight.

755
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:54,520
Thanks Mark.

756
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:55,260
Appreciate you.

757
00:55:56,260 --> 00:55:57,900
So there are no actions to be taken.

758
00:55:58,020 --> 00:55:59,260
This was more of a presentation.

759
00:55:59,340 --> 00:56:02,760
So I think we are popping a bad agenda item.

760
00:56:06,790 --> 00:56:11,350
Next one is discussed, 20, 25, quarterly capital improvement programs.

761
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:36,420
I'm going to just kind of review the 2025 capital improvement plan.

762
00:56:36,540 --> 00:56:41,040
You might recall last year we had the 2024 capital improvement plan.

763
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:49,520
And so tonight, this kind of kicks off this next calendar year's worth of projects that staff will be busy working on.

764
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:57,180
This includes all infrastructure related projects, facilities, as well as parks and trail projects.

765
00:56:57,900 --> 00:57:01,300
So I'll start off with the first one listed there.

766
00:57:01,380 --> 00:57:09,100
This is the Collins Road 1B Landscape Project that's out in front of town hall stretching from US 80 through the trip round about.

767
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,380
And construction on this actually started last year.

768
00:57:13,220 --> 00:57:17,880
And we had a little bit of a delay here over the holidays, partly due to the holidays,

769
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:23,580
is partly due to the cold weather, and then we've also had an electrical infrastructure

770
00:57:23,580 --> 00:57:28,980
issue that we've been working through some redesign on, and we should have that resolved

771
00:57:28,980 --> 00:57:33,440
here in another week or two, and then be able to resume work on that project.

772
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:40,000
The landscaping improvements and irrigation in the medians are expected to be completed

773
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:47,620
on time within the original June schedule that was part of the contractor's original schedule

774
00:57:47,620 --> 00:57:53,960
of work, and then the roundabout piece because we're working to confirm aspects of the water

775
00:57:53,960 --> 00:58:00,820
fountains as well as foundation designs for future sculptures, that work will be finished

776
00:58:00,820 --> 00:58:07,180
in the late summer September time frame, essentially on that piece.

777
00:58:08,620 --> 00:58:14,060
Next we have the other section of Collins Road, which is also known as State Highway 352.

778
00:58:14,060 --> 00:58:21,860
It's on the state highway system, and that's the section of South Collins between US 80 stretching to the Mesquite City limit.

779
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:30,840
You might recall a couple years ago the town was awarded a green ribbon grant from the state for landscape enhancements along that section of Collins.

780
00:58:31,700 --> 00:58:43,240
And the town has completed design work working with Kim Lee Horne and associates for that piece and just last week we received the word from the Texas Department of Transportation.

781
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,800
that we are approved to go ahead and bid that project.

782
00:58:47,060 --> 00:58:52,280
So, staff is working to go ahead and get that bid advertisement ready.

783
00:58:52,820 --> 00:58:57,700
And the expectation is that we'll be able to come back to town council in April,

784
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:04,060
mid April to award the construction contract on those landscape improvements on South Collins,

785
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:10,220
with completion of that work in late summer, early fall of this year.

786
00:59:10,220 --> 00:59:15,640
So that will kind of coincide with a lot of the work that's going on on North Collins, North of 80.

787
00:59:17,020 --> 00:59:25,960
Next we have the Clay Road Paving Rehab and Landscaping Project. The town council approved a design contract with KSA engineering back in

788
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:36,320
February of 2024. And so design began on that project in earnest and we're nearing completion of that and expect to go out the bid

789
00:59:36,940 --> 00:59:39,100
next month on the Clay Road.

790
00:59:39,100 --> 00:59:59,620
essentially that project involves a concrete panel replacements there's a lot of truck traffic along that section of road and a lot of those panels of deteriorated over time and so we're going to replace those deteriorated panels and also include landscaping and lighting enhancements in the median of clay road.

791
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,980
Stretching from the intersection at Collins, going south, past Bandera, over towards Long Creek. And that project, again, is expected to be bid. Here, beginning in February, and we'll start construction in the spring, and then have that project completed in the first quarter of 2026. Next up is a new project. This is the belt line road traffic signal enhancement.

792
01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:32,460
improvements, and intersection improvements project.

793
01:00:33,420 --> 01:00:44,480
I think everybody knows that Tom Thumb is going to be opening a grocery store at the southeast corner of town east and belt line late this calendar year.

794
01:00:45,420 --> 01:00:59,340
And as a result of that, the town has been working to make sure that the traffic signals, including the new one that the developer will be putting in place that all those traffic signal intersections are all well coordinated by installing fiber optics.

795
01:00:59,340 --> 01:01:01,780
to help control signalization.

796
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,760
We're also gonna be looking at some intersection improvements

797
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,880
at town east and belt line to add a right turn lane

798
01:01:08,340 --> 01:01:11,300
from the northbound belt line to eastbound town east

799
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,420
and also some median modifications as well

800
01:01:14,420 --> 01:01:16,300
to help with turning movements into the new

801
01:01:16,300 --> 01:01:17,720
Tom Thumb development.

802
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,900
And so the town council actually awarded

803
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,380
a design contract for that work at the last meeting

804
01:01:25,380 --> 01:01:28,180
and so we'll be getting underway with that design effort

805
01:01:28,180 --> 01:01:34,080
and then plan to go to construction late this calendar year on those improvements.

806
01:01:35,180 --> 01:01:38,260
Next up, we have the Animal Control Facility.

807
01:01:39,140 --> 01:01:46,000
That particular project has been somewhat delayed because we were working on

808
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:50,220
the, you might recall, the Water Master Plan effort that you got a briefing on at your last meeting.

809
01:01:50,860 --> 01:01:55,740
And we were waiting to determine how much land would be available at our current pump station facility.

810
01:01:55,740 --> 01:02:00,800
to be able to help site that new animal control facility and now that we've

811
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:04,820
gotten that report and we know how much property we'll be able to work with

812
01:02:04,820 --> 01:02:09,740
there, we'll be able to initiate that design process here shortly with the

813
01:02:09,740 --> 01:02:12,820
goal of beginning construction on a new facility towards the end of this calendar

814
01:02:12,820 --> 01:02:18,000
year and having a new animal control facility open by the end of 2026.

815
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:23,620
Next up we have the East Trip Road waterline project.

816
01:02:23,620 --> 01:02:28,360
the stretches from basically the roundabout east to the east fork road.

817
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:42,280
And at the last meeting there was a contract amendment for about $100,000 to be able to include a fiber optic line along that corridor that'll help with future communications.

818
01:02:43,140 --> 01:02:53,140
And with that, the consultant engineer expects to have that fiber optic line included into the design here in the next six weeks or so.

819
01:02:53,140 --> 01:02:57,360
and then with the goal of going to bid shortly thereafter and beginning

820
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:01,540
construction this spring and then wrapping up that project in the fall.

821
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:03,140
Marching 25 timeframe.

822
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,820
Are we installing the fiber or are we putting conduit in?

823
01:03:06,020 --> 01:03:09,160
We're putting conduit in for future fiber along that corridor.

824
01:03:09,540 --> 01:03:10,240
Yes sir, thank you.

825
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:10,900
Thank you.

826
01:03:13,090 --> 01:03:18,040
Next up kind of going further east is that section of east strip road from east

827
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:26,220
work to Rebecca and then Rebecca headed down south towards US 80 and that section of roadway in

828
01:03:26,220 --> 01:03:31,740
particular, you know we've seen a lot of pavement degradation and there's also a water line along

829
01:03:31,740 --> 01:03:37,720
that stretch as well. So staff will be working here in the next couple months to be able to procure

830
01:03:38,460 --> 01:03:44,340
an engineering firm to design a 12 inch water line replacement that's in concert with the recent

831
01:03:44,340 --> 01:03:54,940
the water management plan recommendations, and that project will also include a full pavement replacement just like all the other domain projects that we did about a year ago.

832
01:03:56,080 --> 01:04:03,160
And so the goal there is to get that design done this calendar year and be in position to begin construction early next year.

833
01:04:04,820 --> 01:04:12,780
Next up is the U.S. 80 utility relocations, the town has about $5 million in water utilities that need to be relocated.

834
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,940
Over the next few months in order to get out of the way of the upcoming

835
01:04:16,940 --> 01:04:22,900
text.us80 widening project that will be led by the Texas Department of Transportation

836
01:04:22,900 --> 01:04:24,240
later this calendar year.

837
01:04:24,980 --> 01:04:30,880
And so that work has already been designed and will soon be going out to bid in the February

838
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:35,780
March timeframe in order to get a contractor on board to relocate those water utilities

839
01:04:36,380 --> 01:04:39,680
that are currently, again, in the way of the text.expansion.

840
01:04:41,020 --> 01:04:43,320
The next project is the Riverstone Pump Station.

841
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,520
Again, going back to the Water Master Plan presentation, you received at your last meeting.

842
01:04:48,980 --> 01:05:09,520
We now know that we need to look at some storage enhancements, basically adding a 3 million gallon storage tank at the existing pump station, as well as adding additional pumping capacity there in order to help meet our needs for the community, as well as being consistent with the North Texas Municipal Water District recommendations on our storage.

843
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,520
and pumping capabilities.

844
01:05:12,340 --> 01:05:15,840
And so staff is working to procure a design consultant

845
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,360
to actually design those enhancements with the goal

846
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:22,420
of initiating construction in the spring of 2026.

847
01:05:22,420 --> 01:05:25,340
And that'll roughly be about 18 months construction time

848
01:05:25,340 --> 01:05:27,100
for him once we start that project.

849
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:32,200
Next we have the water meter radio system project

850
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,520
that's estimated at approximately $2 million.

851
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:45,780
This project basically involves looking at a third party vendor that would come in and make recommendations on meter replacements.

852
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:52,960
We know that we have commercial meters in town that need to be replaced as well as some older residential meters.

853
01:05:53,200 --> 01:06:03,040
And so this project would basically help accomplish that effort kicking off later this late summer, early fall.

854
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:05,620
and then be in completed by the end of the calendar year.

855
01:06:06,940 --> 01:06:08,940
The next project is a planning project.

856
01:06:09,180 --> 01:06:14,280
Just like we did the water master plan recently, the town has never had a sewer master plan

857
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:20,020
and so we've got sewer infrastructure throughout the town and we really need to look at future

858
01:06:20,020 --> 01:06:26,700
capacity needs and also replacement needs to ensure that we have an adequately functioning sewer

859
01:06:26,700 --> 01:06:27,480
system.

860
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:40,640
And this project, the sewer master plan project will hopefully will be able to bring this to you for approval in the next month or two and then we'll be able to start that that project.

861
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:45,180
It will also include updating our impact fees for sanitary sewer and water.

862
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:53,180
You heard tonight about our roadway impact fees that will be updated based upon the roadway, excuse me, the mobility plan presentation that you just heard.

863
01:06:54,000 --> 01:07:02,980
Similarly, we've got to update our water impact fees using the water master plan, and then once we get through the sewer master planning effort we'll update our sewer impact fees.

864
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:16,800
Impact fees are required by state law to be updated every five years, and the last time our road and water and sewer impact fees for the town of Sunnyvale were updated, we're back in 2020, so this will be a really timely project for us to undertake.

865
01:07:18,020 --> 01:07:20,200
Next is the Rails the Trails design.

866
01:07:20,420 --> 01:07:26,760
This is the Phase I portion of the project that's basically adjacent to the Sunnyvale ISD campus.

867
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:28,700
We are underway with design.

868
01:07:29,140 --> 01:07:32,840
You approved a design contract with Halfan Associates back in October.

869
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:38,940
And we are working with our consultant team and all the stakeholders on getting the design

870
01:07:38,940 --> 01:07:44,120
completed as well as the necessary environmental reviews that are required due to the nature

871
01:07:44,120 --> 01:08:09,400
of the Federal Funding Source and our goal is to be able to start construction later this calendar year and then have that section of trail and all the connections into the ISD property as well as a park Vista Park, which serves the Stoney Creek H.O.A. We hope to have all that constructed and open by the end of calendar year 2026.

872
01:08:10,620 --> 01:08:22,260
The next project is the Barnes Bridge bridge over Dutt Creek, that bridge course that washed out about five or six years ago and the town has been working with tech stock.

873
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:33,420
They have a bridge replacement program that we were able to get ourselves inserted into and that project was recently bid by the state and the contractor selected.

874
01:08:33,420 --> 01:09:03,300
and they plan to start work February 10th of this year and then have bridge completion in September and at that point we'll then be able to open that road to traffic, but about that same time we'll also be in the middle of a design effort for upgrading the water line, you know, there's a 70 or 80 year water, old water line that runs along Barnes Bridge Road from Collins all the way to Polly and so we've got to look at replacing that just like we're doing with Chip Road and

875
01:09:03,300 --> 01:09:05,740
and Rebecca and some of the other roadways.

876
01:09:06,500 --> 01:09:10,120
And that project will also include some pavement rehab efforts,

877
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:18,840
as well as some drainage culvert repairs and upgrades that we need to do to facilitate drainage on both sides of Barnes Bridge road.

878
01:09:19,180 --> 01:09:27,500
And so with that design work that you all approved at the January 13th meeting will be able to continue that design.

879
01:09:27,620 --> 01:09:33,280
And then hopefully be able to bid that job later this calendar year as the bridge is

880
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:38,760
re-opening and then be able to get all those improvements in place by fall of early fall of 20.

881
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,600
Hey, hey, boss, quick question for you, sir.

882
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:40,860
Yes, sir.

883
01:09:40,860 --> 01:09:41,380
Same topic.

884
01:09:41,780 --> 01:09:42,100
Yes, sir.

885
01:09:42,420 --> 01:09:46,660
And to the bridge and to the waterline, how about the road improvement?

886
01:09:47,580 --> 01:09:48,320
On Barnes Bridge.

887
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,060
Is that part of that line I took?

888
01:09:50,180 --> 01:09:50,680
It is.

889
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:51,160
Yes, sir.

890
01:09:51,460 --> 01:09:51,740
Yes, sir.

891
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:57,820
There's about, I think, 30% or so of that roadway corridor that really needs to be replaced.

892
01:09:57,980 --> 01:10:02,050
Most of that roadway is 30% and you

893
01:10:05,250 --> 01:10:06,450
have to back on to it.

894
01:10:06,450 --> 01:10:11,070
So it does include targeted replacement, but not the full.

895
01:10:11,470 --> 01:10:15,010
How about we talk about baby safety and forget about safety

896
01:10:15,010 --> 01:10:15,510
improvements.

897
01:10:15,710 --> 01:10:21,310
The element for mark signs markings, possibly some of the radar speed

898
01:10:21,310 --> 01:10:24,630
signs that we have as well as someplace that we have.

899
01:10:25,290 --> 01:10:31,510
The $610,000 we're planning right now, that includes all that work.

900
01:10:31,830 --> 01:10:32,250
Correct, sir.

901
01:10:32,530 --> 01:10:33,050
Thank you.

902
01:10:33,050 --> 01:10:34,010
Okay,

903
01:10:36,250 --> 01:10:42,730
and then to wrap up, we've, lastly, we've got the two part projects, jobs in park and

904
01:10:42,730 --> 01:10:49,570
Samu Farms North Park, and the town has been working with half an associates on concept

905
01:10:49,570 --> 01:10:54,570
plans for both of those parts, and we are planning to come back to the town council and

906
01:10:55,160 --> 01:11:04,630
4B board next month to be able to provide basically the third round of input with the council

907
01:11:04,630 --> 01:11:24,190
and 4B as well as the public on the recommendations for improvements at both jobs and in salmon farms north park, and depending upon the level of those recommendations, the plan would then be to move into the final design phase for those improvements that come out of those recommendations and approvals next month.

908
01:11:25,350 --> 01:11:29,550
And I'll just add, I'm looking at this schedule.

909
01:11:30,450 --> 01:11:32,050
I definitely think this should be a priority.

910
01:11:32,310 --> 01:11:34,210
It's been discussed for a long time.

911
01:11:34,590 --> 01:11:36,710
And so just, my standpoint would be,

912
01:11:36,830 --> 01:11:38,350
I really want this push forward quickly.

913
01:11:38,870 --> 01:11:41,890
So just giving us a heads up, I'll be pushing that.

914
01:11:43,090 --> 01:11:43,450
Yes, sir.

915
01:11:43,650 --> 01:11:46,010
It's one vote, but I want to push it fast.

916
01:11:50,750 --> 01:11:55,850
So the, just to clarify, for me, $300,000,

917
01:11:56,590 --> 01:12:04,230
that is to, if it's under the edge, construction call, that's where I'm just clarifying it.

918
01:12:04,930 --> 01:12:07,570
So 300,000, I see the edge.

919
01:12:07,930 --> 01:12:08,190
Yes.

920
01:12:08,650 --> 01:12:09,790
But that's not really construction.

921
01:12:10,030 --> 01:12:12,530
That's really just the design, the concept and design.

922
01:12:12,850 --> 01:12:13,430
That's an estimate.

923
01:12:13,430 --> 01:12:14,850
It's finished by a fast quarter, right?

924
01:12:15,110 --> 01:12:19,010
Correct, that's an estimate for what the final design process would take.

925
01:12:19,370 --> 01:12:22,570
Now, depending on the level of improvements, it could be more or could be less.

926
01:12:22,570 --> 01:12:28,450
But right now, that's just a placeholder essentially for final design only, not construction.

927
01:12:29,690 --> 01:12:37,590
But the calendar that you see to the right, the schedule, depending on the level of improvements and complexity,

928
01:12:38,370 --> 01:12:44,730
the idea is that we could be starting construction on some improvements at the parks.

929
01:12:45,090 --> 01:12:50,430
If we're just talking about some trail extensions, passive recreation enhancements like that,

930
01:12:50,430 --> 01:12:52,850
That, you know, some of those things could start later this year.

931
01:12:53,390 --> 01:12:57,830
But again, it really all depends and hinges on the ultimate recommendations and

932
01:12:57,830 --> 01:12:58,790
approvals that come out of this.

933
01:12:58,790 --> 01:13:01,590
But that's the different light item with the CIP, right?

934
01:13:02,330 --> 01:13:04,690
The construction part, improvement part?

935
01:13:04,810 --> 01:13:05,750
Correct, yes, sir.

936
01:13:06,070 --> 01:13:10,270
Yeah, we'll augment this and include the construction as a separate light item.

937
01:13:10,590 --> 01:13:11,770
You know, once we get to that point.

938
01:13:12,470 --> 01:13:12,550
Okay.

939
01:13:19,340 --> 01:13:19,720
Okay.

940
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:23,580
Councillor Diavidio, question four of this erosion, is that it?

941
01:13:23,900 --> 01:13:24,980
Yeah, just want to clarify.

942
01:13:24,980 --> 01:13:31,340
So, there's the planning will be done in the first quarter of 2020-26, so the construction, the whole project will be done.

943
01:13:31,860 --> 01:13:33,160
For you're referring to the parks?

944
01:13:33,380 --> 01:13:34,200
Yes, in Park, yeah.

945
01:13:34,700 --> 01:13:40,460
Yeah, so we're in the planning stage right now, and then once we get through the process here in February,

946
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:46,560
we'll jump into the final design of whatever improvements come out of that concept planning process.

947
01:13:47,340 --> 01:13:52,080
But as the schedule shows there, we could, in theory, depending on the level of complexity and

948
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:58,200
And the magnitude of improvements, we could begin constructing some of those later this calendar year.

949
01:13:58,900 --> 01:14:06,860
But if we're talking about full scale, humongous park improvements will then that would take some time to design that.

950
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:14,140
But if we're just talking about trails and things like that that are much more passive in nature,

951
01:14:14,300 --> 01:14:20,360
then we could in theory begin construction later this calendar year on some of those improvements.

952
01:14:21,540 --> 01:14:22,500
That's your question?

953
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:24,920
No, I didn't get the answer.

954
01:14:25,500 --> 01:14:29,040
So what is the completion date that we're expecting?

955
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,520
Date or month, and which year?

956
01:14:32,140 --> 01:14:35,620
For, again, for Jobson Park and Santa Farm North,

957
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:40,960
if we're talking about this huge multi-million dollar

958
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,580
park facility, that's going to take longer to design,

959
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,260
final design, and construct.

960
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:47,760
But if all we're talking about at the end of the day

961
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:53,540
is some trail enhancements and other lower level type park improvements, then that could

962
01:14:53,540 --> 01:14:55,840
be design quicker and built quicker.

963
01:14:56,340 --> 01:14:59,520
But until we get through that February final recommendations.

964
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,660
Approvals, we're not going to exactly know for sure what we're going to design, what we're going to build.

965
01:15:09,700 --> 01:15:32,920
Okay. So the first quarter of 2026, we're not sure. We're just just a guesstimate date. The first quarter 26 is an estimate, you know, depending upon, you know, the range of improvements that get recommended for approval. Now if we're looking at like a, you know, tens of millions of dollars of park improvements, that, you know, we're not, we're not going to have that all

966
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:50,040
in place by the first quarter of 2026, but if we're talking about, you know, one or two million dollars worth of enhancements, you know, a ball field or two and some trail extensions, then that's a whole different story compared to, you know, ten or 15 or 20 million dollars worth of park improvements.

967
01:15:50,860 --> 01:15:59,100
And we'll know for sure come, you know, this next briefing that we're looking to do the third round of briefings.

968
01:15:59,100 --> 01:16:19,040
And some of this is also based on the POCO survey that was done last year, the Gage, the public's opinions on park needs in the town and so the consultant firm has been busy putting together their recommendations based upon that input as well as feedback they've gotten from the town council and the 4B board.

969
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:25,120
Okay. Sorry. Initially I thought this will be, this project will be done by 1st quarter

970
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:31,720
of 2020 and I thought that's still a lot of time to wait. But when I hear that, it's

971
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:36,380
still, we don't know it's up in the air, that's kind of sad. And we just heard all the

972
01:16:36,380 --> 01:16:41,980
residents requesting this to make it faster, right? Because like they said, each generation

973
01:16:41,980 --> 01:16:47,160
is missing out the more we wait, right? I don't want any delay if we can push it faster.

974
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:48,240
I appreciate that.

975
01:16:48,480 --> 01:16:48,600
Yes.

976
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:49,800
I agree.

977
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:56,460
Are there additional questions or comments?

978
01:16:59,780 --> 01:16:59,940
Okay.

979
01:17:00,140 --> 01:17:00,960
Thank you Mr. Gorkh.

980
01:17:01,020 --> 01:17:01,140
Okay.

981
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:01,720
Thank you.

982
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:04,000
Okay.

983
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:05,500
We will be going to the next item.

984
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,580
Mayor and Councillor Lucas for future staff of this region items.

985
01:17:11,020 --> 01:17:12,060
Did I miss something?

986
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:14,940
Oh, I am so sorry.

987
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:17,760
Yeah.

988
01:17:17,940 --> 01:17:18,460
I am.

989
01:17:18,540 --> 01:17:19,260
I am so sorry.

990
01:17:20,540 --> 01:17:21,420
My apologies.

991
01:17:21,420 --> 01:17:25,500
this way to go and push it forward.

992
01:17:25,740 --> 01:17:30,340
Discretion is actually like item K, item about K-1,

993
01:17:30,660 --> 01:17:31,640
investment policy.

994
01:17:32,900 --> 01:17:34,480
Discuss, counter-active production,

995
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:40,860
2025-03, 2025, yeah, that's it, okay lah.

996
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:42,860
Thank you Mayor and Council.

997
01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:45,520
As required by the Public Fence Investment Act,

998
01:17:45,740 --> 01:17:47,860
we are required to annually adopt

999
01:17:47,860 --> 01:17:49,620
and update our investment policy.

1000
01:17:49,620 --> 01:17:52,700
Before you, we have our award-winning policy.

1001
01:17:53,480 --> 01:18:00,720
Last year, we did a major overhaul and went and we submitted it to the government

1002
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:06,200
Treasurer's Organization of Texas and they awarded it their certificate of distinction.

1003
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:14,920
Rachel will be going to actually pick up that award on February 23rd at the GTOT conference.

1004
01:18:16,060 --> 01:18:27,920
This policy basically goes over what Rachel said before, number one safety, number two liquidity, and then number three earnings after that.

1005
01:18:28,660 --> 01:18:36,020
So we want to try and make sure that according to this policy, we still, we follow that.

1006
01:18:36,660 --> 01:18:42,360
Our investment officers, the education is eight hours every two years currently.

1007
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,760
It is the town manager, assistant town manager.

1008
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:53,940
My self and Rachel are the authorized investment officers, and so we are required to get our

1009
01:18:53,940 --> 01:18:59,260
training eight hours every two years after an initial 10 hour training.

1010
01:19:00,730 --> 01:19:05,960
The portfolio is managed in accordance with our policy, and Rachel does a very good job

1011
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:11,620
of that and we kind of went over some of the stuff that were diversified into.

1012
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:20,300
We are not authorized again to invest in any kind of collateral mortgage obligations.

1013
01:19:21,500 --> 01:19:27,440
We can't really do any bankers acceptance notes or reverse repurchase agreements or any

1014
01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:29,960
kind of no load mutual funds or the stock market.

1015
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:35,520
we try to keep safety number one and so those things in our policy we've we've

1016
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:42,800
determined as that that we are not wanting to really risk getting involved in

1017
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:49,280
those also we don't do any repurchase agreements so other than that right

1018
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:53,960
now we have it said our maximum maturity at three years me and Rachel we're just

1019
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:59,640
talking about because of the market in the way that it's changing we may come

1020
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:05,580
back and extend that so that we can lock in some higher interest rates for further out but

1021
01:20:05,580 --> 01:20:11,500
at this time I think three years is sufficient for what we we need to do. So other than that

1022
01:20:11,500 --> 01:20:16,980
we we are just asking that you approve our investment policy. This is just more of an

1023
01:20:16,980 --> 01:20:22,640
annual renewal of it right. Yes sir. It is significant changes from last year. No changes from last year.

1024
01:20:24,060 --> 01:20:24,460
Okay.

1025
01:20:24,460 --> 01:20:25,900
Do you have any questions for the camera?

1026
01:20:30,060 --> 01:20:30,260
Okay.

1027
01:20:31,140 --> 01:20:34,580
If not, can I have a motion with respect to right number K1 please?

1028
01:20:34,940 --> 01:20:36,140
Motion to approve, Adam K1.

1029
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:37,200
Second.

1030
01:20:37,900 --> 01:20:38,820
Open public comment.

1031
01:20:39,100 --> 01:20:39,560
Public comment.

1032
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:40,160
Thank you.

1033
01:20:40,660 --> 01:20:42,040
We go for the...

1034
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:43,280
Thank you, Rachel, for being straight.

1035
01:20:43,540 --> 01:20:43,740
Okay.

1036
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:47,840
And this time, there will be an offer for public comment.

1037
01:20:47,980 --> 01:20:50,420
See, is there anyone from the members of the audience who would like to comment.

1038
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,540
Speak to the council or right number K1.

1039
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:54,160
Please come forward.

1040
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:54,260
What?

1041
01:20:59,150 --> 01:21:00,210
No, it is coming forward.

1042
01:21:00,210 --> 01:21:01,970
We are going to close the public comments.

1043
01:21:04,330 --> 01:21:06,250
Can we have any other questions or discussions?

1044
01:21:07,830 --> 01:21:11,690
If not, can I have a motion with respect right now, but can we please, I will make a motion

1045
01:21:11,690 --> 01:21:13,090
to approve item K1 as presented?

1046
01:21:13,550 --> 01:21:13,710
Second.

1047
01:21:14,110 --> 01:21:20,530
So I can, what should be made by the importance of FIDG, second by the Australian Lich, to approve

1048
01:21:20,530 --> 01:21:26,690
either but can with us placenta, and we don't hurt the motion, are the additional discussions.

1049
01:21:27,530 --> 01:21:32,110
If not, all in favour, signify, all opposed, portioned past six, obviously,

1050
01:21:32,230 --> 01:21:32,850
already subset.

1051
01:21:33,410 --> 01:21:34,570
We will go right into the number K2.

1052
01:21:35,390 --> 01:21:41,850
Discuss, consider, and act according to 2224-02 ordering, a general election to be held

1053
01:21:41,850 --> 01:21:47,410
in the tunnel study where the next uniform election date being Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, for

1054
01:21:47,410 --> 01:21:47,870
the purpose.

1055
01:21:48,570 --> 01:21:53,150
Flective barrier, turn counts to placeable and turn counts to place two, are designated

1056
01:21:53,150 --> 01:21:56,270
to the date for a round of election ifs or needs.

1057
01:21:56,350 --> 01:21:56,870
Zabsi?

1058
01:21:57,370 --> 01:22:01,510
Mayor and council, as you are all aware, each year the town council is required to order

1059
01:22:01,510 --> 01:22:02,510
the general election.

1060
01:22:02,790 --> 01:22:06,110
This year's election is scheduled for Saturday, May the 3rd, 2025.

1061
01:22:07,070 --> 01:22:12,970
Early voting will begin April 21st through April 29th and town hall will be a polling place

1062
01:22:12,970 --> 01:22:16,150
for early voting as well as election day voting.

1063
01:22:16,990 --> 01:22:22,190
The town charter provides that in order to be elected, the candidate must receive at least

1064
01:22:22,190 --> 01:22:28,670
more than 50% of the votes that are cast. If a candidate fails to receive more than 50%

1065
01:22:28,670 --> 01:22:33,490
then we must have a runoff election. If that's necessary that would occur on June

1066
01:22:33,490 --> 01:22:40,210
the 7th, 2025. The attached ordinance orders the 2025 general election and the runoff

1067
01:22:40,210 --> 01:22:45,870
election so that we don't have to come back to you if we need that election. Staff anticipates

1068
01:22:45,870 --> 01:22:49,590
that the contract with Dallas County Elections Department will be ready for council review by

1069
01:22:49,590 --> 01:22:53,790
the end of March. I've seen a draft of it and they are finalizing a few more details

1070
01:22:53,790 --> 01:22:59,630
and then they should have that to us. The cost of the election is budgeted in the 24-25

1071
01:22:59,630 --> 01:23:04,410
fiscal year budget. However, the total cost to the town has not been determined yet. Of

1072
01:23:04,410 --> 01:23:08,550
course, I'll know that that is a percentage of the number of entities that participate

1073
01:23:08,550 --> 01:23:09,190
in the election.

1074
01:23:11,730 --> 01:23:15,270
And as most of you are aware, some of you may not be. This ordinance only

1075
01:23:15,270 --> 01:23:19,110
It only requires one reading, so this will be final approval of this ordinance.

1076
01:23:20,550 --> 01:23:22,090
Okay, thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.

1077
01:23:23,090 --> 01:23:26,530
May I be offered a public cup and see if there's anyone from the members of the audience

1078
01:23:26,530 --> 01:23:29,450
who would like to come forward and speak to the council or item of K2.

1079
01:23:30,250 --> 01:23:31,290
You may do so just to

1080
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,400
know where this can be forward, so we're going to close the public

1081
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:37,660
cup.

1082
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:38,040
It's counted.

1083
01:23:38,180 --> 01:23:40,540
Do you have any questions or discussions, item of K2?

1084
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:44,580
If not, I call for the motion.

1085
01:23:44,860 --> 01:23:46,660
Motion to approve, item K2, as presented.

1086
01:23:46,660 --> 01:23:46,720
in.

1087
01:23:46,980 --> 01:23:47,200
Sorry.

1088
01:23:47,820 --> 01:23:49,240
Motion made by Mayor Porter.

1089
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,120
Second by Mr. Eldridge to approve.

1090
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:53,220
I have number K-2 as percent.

1091
01:23:53,620 --> 01:23:54,660
Everyone heard the motion.

1092
01:23:55,140 --> 01:23:56,380
Are there additional discussions?

1093
01:23:57,620 --> 01:23:59,060
If not, all in favour of a certified?

1094
01:24:00,100 --> 01:24:00,920
All opposed.

1095
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:02,360
Motion passed 6-0.

1096
01:24:02,580 --> 01:24:03,380
Mr. Eldridge's absent.

1097
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:05,760
Moving on, we would write number K-3.

1098
01:24:06,500 --> 01:24:10,820
Discuss considered act upon approving a two-year contract with the Sky Elements.

1099
01:24:11,380 --> 01:24:15,700
Drone shows for $0.35 to $0.25, and $0.26.

1100
01:24:16,700 --> 01:24:19,220
Then about $0.2,000 and $0.8,000.

1101
01:24:19,220 --> 01:24:20,520
And all the rights in the town management

1102
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:21,420
exactly the contract.

1103
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:22,280
Good evening.

1104
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:25,500
Good evening, Mayor Counsel.

1105
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:29,860
Tonight, this item was to discuss,

1106
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,140
consider and act upon approving a two-year contract

1107
01:24:32,140 --> 01:24:33,800
with SkyElement's Drone shows,

1108
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,840
for two shows per year in 2025 and 2026.

1109
01:24:38,440 --> 01:24:44,820
You're getting the revised agenda item and quotes that just has the updated costs for

1110
01:24:44,820 --> 01:24:48,340
these drone shows as discussed in the work session.

1111
01:24:48,780 --> 01:24:55,340
We do have some cost savings with going into a two-year contract with Sky Elements as

1112
01:24:55,340 --> 01:25:00,320
well as the timing of our event, excuse me our events are not within their peak show times.

1113
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:07,580
The July 3rd through the 6th is a very heavy time for them and our sunny fest is about

1114
01:25:07,580 --> 01:25:13,800
week before that typically and so we have some cost savings with them there so you have some options

1115
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:19,900
of different number of drones in those shows and that's kind of how the pricing goes with that but

1116
01:25:19,900 --> 01:25:28,860
those are for each of the shows and tonight we ask that you decide on a package that would allow

1117
01:25:28,860 --> 01:25:32,420
the city manager to go into a contract with sky elements for these shows.

1118
01:25:36,030 --> 01:25:36,510
Do they guess?

1119
01:25:36,510 --> 01:25:36,630
Yes.

1120
01:25:37,590 --> 01:25:38,370
That is all.

1121
01:25:38,430 --> 01:25:39,370
It's open for discussion.

1122
01:25:39,590 --> 01:25:44,350
If you guys have any questions, you know, the recommended level was the 150 drone show,

1123
01:25:44,630 --> 01:25:52,290
which is the most cost savings, most valuable, but there are options to add on to that from

1124
01:25:52,290 --> 01:25:52,490
there.

1125
01:25:52,850 --> 01:25:57,710
So, that's for you guys to discuss and decide what you'd like to see at these.

1126
01:25:57,810 --> 01:25:59,710
So, the 68 is based on 150?

1127
01:26:00,850 --> 01:26:01,330
Correct.

1128
01:26:01,670 --> 01:26:01,770
Yes.

1129
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,280
So, do we know what's the number for all of it?

1130
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:12,960
I actually figured that for y'all in work session because I wasn't sure if Carrie had it.

1131
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:19,280
So 150 would be 68K, better would be 90K, and best would be 135.

1132
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:21,800
And that's what we would need in your motion as well.

1133
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,620
That's for four shows, four shows, crush it.

1134
01:26:32,780 --> 01:26:34,460
Can you say there's one more time, Rachel?

1135
01:26:34,980 --> 01:26:40,380
Sure, 150 drones would be 68K for four shows.

1136
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:42,660
200 would be 90K.

1137
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,540
and the best 300 would be 135.

1138
01:26:47,260 --> 01:26:49,680
Okay, so let me offer for public coverage.

1139
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:50,980
Can you take a seat please?

1140
01:26:51,380 --> 01:26:51,700
Thank you.

1141
01:26:51,740 --> 01:26:51,760
Thank you.

1142
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:52,940
Let me offer for public coverage.

1143
01:26:53,140 --> 01:26:54,940
See, there's anyone from the members of the audience

1144
01:26:55,470 --> 01:26:57,620
who would like to come forward and speak to the council right

1145
01:26:57,620 --> 01:26:58,480
number K3.

1146
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,020
You may do so at this time.

1147
01:27:06,510 --> 01:27:08,930
Over this coming forward, we're going to close the public coverage.

1148
01:27:09,110 --> 01:27:12,830
Counts and de-avidities, questions or discussions right number K3.

1149
01:27:13,910 --> 01:27:15,570
I have an opinion.

1150
01:27:16,330 --> 01:27:16,750
Okay.

1151
01:27:16,750 --> 01:27:23,710
I think we should go the 200 minimum, I think we saw the impact of that, and we're adding

1152
01:27:23,710 --> 01:27:29,610
more shows, and I think we should not just be, as the list says, good.

1153
01:27:30,530 --> 01:27:37,930
We should be at least better or best, we're going to go for this, so that's my comment.

1154
01:27:39,090 --> 01:27:41,010
I mean, you should have covered some discussions.

1155
01:27:41,610 --> 01:27:46,830
Yes, I agree with Councilmember Fetch.

1156
01:27:47,850 --> 01:27:50,410
I think we definitely want to be at better best.

1157
01:27:50,810 --> 01:27:56,170
And I would actually propose to be a best for the two-year four shows.

1158
01:27:56,910 --> 01:28:02,670
I think this, the light show, the drone show is one of the best pieces.

1159
01:28:02,670 --> 01:28:07,290
is best components of the Fourth of July,

1160
01:28:07,570 --> 01:28:09,350
some of us festival.

1161
01:28:09,890 --> 01:28:12,950
And we had a lot of great comments,

1162
01:28:13,230 --> 01:28:14,430
and really people really liked it.

1163
01:28:14,570 --> 01:28:16,330
So I think if we could expand it

1164
01:28:16,330 --> 01:28:20,730
and have it for two years at both the Christmas show,

1165
01:28:20,990 --> 01:28:23,650
and sunny fest, and I would say 300 drones

1166
01:28:23,650 --> 01:28:24,450
make it really amazing.

1167
01:28:24,810 --> 01:28:25,510
So I would say best.

1168
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:28,400
OK.

1169
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:30,040
Are there any other questions?

1170
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:31,180
Yeah, I do have a question.

1171
01:28:31,180 --> 01:28:37,320
So it's a two-year contract, so what if we find a better price in the next year?

1172
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:42,260
Since we know that drones are becoming more common and popular and it's the hundreds

1173
01:28:42,260 --> 01:28:47,860
of thousands of drones used in different countries, so 200 drones or 300 is nothing, maybe

1174
01:28:47,860 --> 01:28:53,420
in another year there will be 10,000 drones for cheaper price, so will you be able to change

1175
01:28:53,420 --> 01:28:56,900
the contract, or if we find a better price can we withdraw from the contract?

1176
01:28:56,900 --> 01:28:57,780
That

1177
01:29:09,370 --> 01:29:15,050
might be a question I'd need to ask as far as policy if we're entered into a contract,

1178
01:29:15,050 --> 01:29:17,850
if we're able to get out of that.

1179
01:29:18,510 --> 01:29:26,030
However, the pricing for this show is good and this is also one of the best companies

1180
01:29:26,030 --> 01:29:27,930
putting on drone shows right now.

1181
01:29:28,750 --> 01:29:37,930
They have the best records they have over three million flight minutes that they have

1182
01:29:37,930 --> 01:29:45,050
done with shows and have been recognized doing NFL shows and many others so we're

1183
01:29:45,050 --> 01:29:52,070
getting a really great pricing for what they're offering even more so the

1184
01:29:52,070 --> 01:29:57,250
cost savings from last year this is this is if you look at the comparisons of how

1185
01:29:57,250 --> 01:29:59,770
how many drones, and then the show.

1186
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:31,140
It's less. And so we're actually getting a great deal by locking into the contract with them. I was going to add that last year we spent $20,000 for, with the same company for 100 drones. And now they're actually doubling the number of drones for, you know, $22,000. So as Kerry said, it's really good pricing. And, you know, this is probably the best, best company that's providing these services. Right. Right now, I agree with it. Probably that's the best company we can find today. But we don't know in a year.

1187
01:30:31,140 --> 01:30:36,380
things change, right? It's technology changed by the minute. Can we add a

1188
01:30:36,380 --> 01:30:36,760
clause?

1189
01:30:38,980 --> 01:30:42,020
He's the one who told me that I'm not a lawyer, but it says most

1190
01:30:42,020 --> 01:30:48,800
favored customer clause. So if you find a better market price, can you match it

1191
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:54,280
at least? Yeah, there's a yeah, the most favored nation clause is fairly common in

1192
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,520
some contracts because it's certainly ask or vendor if they'd be willing to

1193
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:00,020
to entertain that similar type of clause.

1194
01:31:02,180 --> 01:31:03,700
We'll see what their response would be.

1195
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:06,720
That'll be nice.

1196
01:31:06,940 --> 01:31:10,020
Because I don't want to sign the contract in the year.

1197
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:14,900
There's another 10 other companies doing it for double triple

1198
01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:18,200
and cheaper price and I don't want to regret next year.

1199
01:31:18,900 --> 01:31:21,200
I think for us, the other perspective

1200
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:23,720
is too that we have a history with the company

1201
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:25,920
and they perform really well even though it's only been

1202
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:27,520
one show they did for us.

1203
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:33,460
And they're guaranteeing that they'd be available for the next four days that we need them.

1204
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:40,620
So there is, I think, having that solidified in writing with them is provide some benefit.

1205
01:31:40,820 --> 01:31:45,520
But we will certainly ask them about the most favored nations or most favored customer

1206
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:49,000
clause, if you will, and see what we can find out from them.

1207
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:51,880
Okay, I appreciate that.

1208
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:52,840
Thank you very much.

1209
01:31:55,180 --> 01:31:58,360
The additional discussions of questions are at this topic.

1210
01:32:01,010 --> 01:32:02,190
If not, I call for a motion.

1211
01:32:02,970 --> 01:32:06,570
Mr. Mayor, I make a motion to approve a two-year contract

1212
01:32:06,570 --> 01:32:14,730
with SkyElement's drone, 25 and 26, not to exceed $90,000.

1213
01:32:15,190 --> 01:32:15,970
For two shows per year.

1214
01:32:15,970 --> 01:32:17,010
Two shows per year, yeah.

1215
01:32:17,650 --> 01:32:17,870
Second.

1216
01:32:19,350 --> 01:32:25,120
Motion made by Mayor Protofitch to approve a two-year contract

1217
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:28,740

1218
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:33,720
20, 25, 20, 26, and then the board don't to exceed 90,000.

1219
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:34,000
Right?

1220
01:32:36,220 --> 01:32:37,340
Everyone heard the motion.

1221
01:32:39,670 --> 01:32:41,070
Are there additional discussions?

1222
01:32:45,180 --> 01:32:46,320
All in favor, signify?

1223
01:32:48,730 --> 01:32:49,470
All opposed?

1224
01:32:50,810 --> 01:32:52,210
Motion passed 6, 0.

1225
01:32:53,010 --> 01:32:54,830
So Jeff, thank you for looking into this.

1226
01:32:54,930 --> 01:32:58,670
Dan is a request of whether we can negotiate some terms

1227
01:32:58,670 --> 01:32:59,110
in debate.

1228
01:32:59,490 --> 01:33:00,410
Please keep us posted.

1229
01:33:04,110 --> 01:33:04,470
Okay.

1230
01:33:04,470 --> 01:33:06,630
Okay, now about anything to go to, I number four.

01:33:07,790 --> 01:33:12,330
Okay, mayor and council request for future staff updates and

Anyone?

1234
01:33:18,620 --> 01:33:20,240
Okay, if that are done, right?

01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:21,560
You do, Miss Daddy.

1236
01:33:22,440 --> 01:33:25,880
I like to include the status of our project,

1237
01:33:27,180 --> 01:33:31,780
the cell tower and Internet service in Senegal.

1238
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:34,220
Are they agenda?

1239
01:33:34,820 --> 01:33:35,060
Yeah.

1240
01:33:35,440 --> 01:33:35,600
Okay.

1241
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:35,820
Can

1242
01:33:39,180 --> 01:33:41,960
we add it to the next public session?

1243
01:33:42,440 --> 01:33:47,760
Can we discuss or update the status of the project after the executive session?

1244
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:48,880
Okay.

1245
01:33:52,010 --> 01:33:52,650
You do?

1246
01:33:53,070 --> 01:33:53,650
Okay, Mr. Clark.

1247
01:33:54,470 --> 01:34:00,130
I'd also like to add to the agenda a discussion about future downtown property acquisitions,

1248
01:34:00,470 --> 01:34:07,450
whether it be executive session or open session, but just looking at future downtown property acquisitions.

1249
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:15,280
Anybody else?

1250
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:16,240
Okay.

1251
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:18,180
If not, I'm going to close that item.

1252
01:34:19,620 --> 01:34:21,920
Council can have a motion to enjoy the executive decision.

1253
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:24,740

1254

Okay. Okay. Good evening, Council. Now time is 9.10. We are back in the open session.

I can confirm that as a result of the executive discussion, no action needs to be taken.
