May 16, 2023 City Council Regular Meeting

IT'S BEEN MOTION BY MAYOR PROAM, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES KALE, THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES.

IS THEIR DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SEVEN TO

[III. Citizen Comment Period with City Council]

ZERO.

NEXT UP IS CITIZEN COMMENTS, PERIOD.

AT THIS TIME, WE ASK ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON ANY ITEM TO PLEASE DO SO.

WILL WE ASK THAT YOU LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES AND THAT YOU DIRECT THOSE COMMENTS TO THE MAYOR AND COUNSEL? I HAVE TWO REGISTERED, UH, FIRST UP, JULIE SNYDER.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU, COUNSEL FOR THE RECORD.

MY NAME IS JULIE SNYDER.

I'M THE C E O OF THE KYLE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME AND THE INITIATIVE TONIGHT TO RECOGNIZE KYLE'S SMALL BUSINESSES DURING SMALL BUSINESS MONTH.

THE MISSION OF THE KYLE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS TO PROMOTE ADVOCATE, CONNECT, AND EDUCATE BUSINESSES TO FOSTER A STRONG LOCAL ECONOMY.

THE KYLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS A MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION THAT REPRESENTS 398 MEMBERS, 9,203 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES, AND 911 PART-TIME EMPLOYEES.

OUT OF OUR 9 398 MEMBERS, 70% OF THEM HAVE 10 OR LESS EMPLOYEES.

87% OF THEM HAVE 50 EMPLOYEES OR LESS.

THEREFORE, MUCH OF OUR PROGRAMMING IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST SMALL BUSINESSES.

WE WORK TO ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT THRIVING, PROSPEROUS BUSINESSES CREATE A THRIVING, PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY.

I WOULD LIKE THOSE ATTENDING TONIGHT TO BE HONORED WITH THIS PROCLAMATION TO PLEASE STAND.

AND IF YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE CHAMBER OR OPERATE OR WORK FOR A SMALL BUSINESS, PLEASE STAND AND STAY STANDING.

YOU KNOW, AT TIMES SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURS FEEL THAT THEY ARE OVERLOOKED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED, WHICH IS WHY WE APPRECIATE THIS SPECIAL MOMENT, TO RECOGNIZE THE INTENSE COMMITMENT OF TIME, MONEY, AND LOVE THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS DEDICATE TO THEIR BUSINESSES TO OFFER IMPORTANT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY.

SO, ON BEHALF OF THE KYLE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, I THANK THE COUNCIL AND EACH ONE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT FOR ATTENDING AND FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO KYLE.

HAPPY SMALL BUSINESS MONTH.

UM, IN THE PAST, THE CITY HAS ALWAYS MADE CHANGES TO OUR MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN WHEN PLANNING NEW ROADS, PERHAPS THIS ONE GOT BY ME, BUT I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHETHER THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN HAS BEEN AMENDED.

NEXT UP, MS. LILA KNIGHT.

GOOD EVENING.

UH, MY NAME IS LILA KNIGHT AND I LIVE HERE IN KYLE, TEXAS.

AND I'M HERE AGAIN TO SPEAK ON QUAIL RIDGE.

BEYOND THE OBVIOUS FACT THAT THE PROPOSAL BY A DEVELOPER IN CONCERT WITH THE CITY TO DRIVE A NEW ROAD THROUGH AN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD IS RUDE, ABHORRENT, AND AN INJUSTICE TO OUR CITIZENS.

I ALSO HAVE A FEW THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT, ALTHOUGH I KNOW YOU CAN'T ADDRESS MY CONCERNS.

[00:05:02]

UH, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, THOSE AMENDMENTS TAKE THINGS LIKE SEVERAL PUBLIC HEARINGS.

UM, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE, UH, IF THAT OCCURRED RATHER THAN OUR RIGHTS, UH, TO SUCH PUBLIC HEARINGS BE JUST DELEGATED TO A PRIVATE ENTITY THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, A BIG PROBLEM HERE IN KYLE IS THAT YOU HAVE NEVER REALLY ADDRESSED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

NONE OF THE APARTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED ARE TRULY AFFORDABLE.

AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, JUST GO ON THEIR WEBSITES AND LOOK AT, AT WHAT THEIR RENT IS.

I'M NOT CERTAIN WHAT YOUR VISION OF KYLE IS.

SOMETIMES I FEEL THAT YOU WANT IT TO BE A MORE AFFLUENT COMMUNITY LIKE PLANO OR FRISCO OR LAS COLINAS.

AND WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A RELOCATION PLAN FOR CITIZENS WHO WILL BE LOSING THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY, UM, WE ARE GOING TO BE PUSHING THEM OUT OF THIS TOWN.

AS YOU WELL KNOW, MANUFACTURED HOUSING IS NO LONGER ALLOWED WITHIN THE CITY OF KYLE UNLESS IT'S WITHIN A MANUFACTURED HOME PARK OR SUBDIVISION.

SO THESE DISPLACED CITIZENS WILL HAVE TO MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND I HOPE THAT THIS IS NOT A TREND THAT YOU PLAN ON CONTINUING TO PURSUE, TO PUSH THOSE WITH LESSER ECONOMIC POWER TOTALLY OUT OF THE CITY.

THAT IS ALL OF THE COMMENTS FORMS THAT I HAVE IN FRONT OF ME.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK? SORRY.

AND IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND STATING YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND THEN, UH, FILL OUT A FORM WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED.

YES, RIGHT OVER THAT ONE.

PUT ON YOUR VOUCHERS THAT YOU GIVE YOUR CONSTITUENTS THE OPTION TO COME TO PALS SO THAT THEY CAN EITHER RED REDEEM IT IF THEY WANNA GO TO AUSTIN OR THEY WANNA REDEEM IT AT PALS.

HI, I'M LAUREN FOY.

I AM THE PRESIDENT OF PALS PET, PREVENT A LETTER OF CENTRAL TEXAS.

I AM ACTUALLY HERE BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE SIGNING YOUR, OR DECIDING YOUR SECOND, UM, FINAL DECISION ON AGENDA ITEM 12, WHICH IS THE ALLOCATED FUNDING FOR FREE VAPA NEUTER VOUCHERS FOR THE CITY OF KYLE.

UM, JUST UNDER THE, UM, AGENDA ITEM, WE STILL HAVE IT LISTED AS FOR EMAN PET AS RECEIVING THAT FUNDING.

UM, I JUST AM GOING TO, UH, PLEASE PLEAD MY CASE ONE MORE TIME AND LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT, UM, PALS LAST YEAR SPENT 20,000 OF OUR OWN FUNDING FOR KYLE RESIDENTS FREE SPAY NEUTER.

THIS YEAR, WE'VE ALREADY SPENT 5,000 AND WE EXPECT TO GO AHEAD AND SPAY ANOTHER 700, UM, APPLICANTS IN KYLE THIS YEAR OUT OF OUR OWN FUNDING.

SO IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF YOU GUYS WANTED TO GIVE THAT YOUR CONSTITUENTS THE OPTION TO STILL COME TO THE PLACE THAT WE'RE ALREADY SERVING.

NOT ONLY DO WE DO THE SPAY NEUTER FREE SERVICES FOR YOUR COW RESIDENTS, WE ALSO HAVE A PET FOOD PANTRY WHERE WE GIVE OUT 800 POUNDS OF FREE FOOD MONTHLY TO ANIMALS THAT ARE IN NEED FOR PA FOR, UM, OWNERS THAT ARE IN NEED TO FEED THEIR ANIMALS.

BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GET THAT AT THE HAYES COUNTY FOOD BANKS.

AND THAT'S A SERVICE WE OFFER FOR YOUR RESIDENTS AS WELL.

WE ALSO DO A VERY LOW COST, UH, VACCINATION CLINIC THAT IS OPEN TO HAYES COUNTY RESIDENTS, AND KYLE ESPECIALLY USES IT ON A MONTHLY BASIS.

UM, I JUST ALSO WANNA RECOGNIZE THAT LAST YEAR I CAME TO KYLE AND WE DID FREE MICROCHIPPING POPUPS IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

UM, AND SO WE ARE HERE AND INVESTED IN, UM, HELPING YOUR ANIMALS AND THE OWNERS THAT HAVE THEM, AND KYLE, AND WE JUST REALLY WANT TO PRESS ON YOU GUYS, UM, THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO FUND THE 22,000 FOR VOUCHERS, UM, THAT YOU CONSIDER P KYLE, UH, PAT PALS FOR KYLE, AND IF YOU HAVE SOME ISSUES ABOUT WANTING PEOPLE TO HAVE OPTIONS IN AUSTIN, I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO LOOK AT THE WAIT LIST, UH, COMPARED TO OUR WAIT LIST TO EMANCIPATES, WHICH IS VERY CLEARLY STATED ON THEIR WEBSITE AND OURS.

AND I'VE ALSO EMAILED YOU THOSE, UM, THAT INFORMATION.

UM, CLEARLY WE HAVE A THIRD OF THE WAIT LIST THAT THEY HAVE CURRENTLY.

UM, AND IF YOU WANNA LEAVE AMANZA PET ON IT, I JUST HOPE THAT YOU

[00:10:01]

UM, WE'D BE OPEN TO SHARING THAT, UM, BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY GONNA DO IT.

IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU WANTED TO INVEST THAT MONEY BACK INTO THE HAYES COUNTY AND NOT TRAVIS INTO THE, UM, COMMUNITY SERVICE NONPROFIT THAT ALREADY REPRESENTS YOU GUYS NOW.

THAT'S IT.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I SENT A BUNCH OF EMAILS AND I WASN'T QUITE SURE IF ANYBODY HAD ANY QUESTIONS FOR WELL, WE CAN'T ASK QUESTIONS DURING, THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

THANK YOU THOUGH.

WELL, WE WILL TAKE THE ADAM UP, HONORABLE MAYOR MITCHELL AND DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

I'M BEN COURTNEY, UH, COMMANDER OF THE KYLE VFW POST.

I'D LIKE TO INFORM Y'ALL THAT OUR GRAND OPENING ON 20 MAY HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, BUT WE DO WANT TO EXTEND OUR APPRECIATION FOR THE USE OF THE BUILDING THAT YOU'RE GRACIOUSLY PROVIDING FOR US.

I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE ON MEMORIAL DAY AT 10:00 AM MEMORIAL PARK WILL BE THE VFW IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY IS STILL SCHEDULED.

AND, UH, ALSO, UH, WE ARE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF KYLE KAZ, AND WE WERE THE FRONT GATEKEEPERS.

SO ALL THE CITY SENIOR CITIZENS GET TO TELL EVERYBODY WHERE TO GO WHEN THEY COME IN THE FRONT DOOR.

AND, UM, RECENTLY THERE WAS, UH, AN ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING HERE FOR THE CITY, AND WE WERE NOT INVOLVED.

AND SO I REALLY FELT THAT OUR SENIORS NEEDED THAT KIND OF TRAINING.

AND, UH, MISS, UH, OFFICER, ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF AEZ, UH, IS HE HERE? WHERE ARE YOU, SIR? WOULD YOU STAND? I, I JUST REALLY WANNA THANK HIM.

HE CAME ON MONDAY AND, UH, HE TAUGHT US EVERYTHING ABOUT DEFENDING OURSELVES AND DIDN'T SCARE US, BUT HE TOLD US THE TRUTH.

HE WAS EXPLICIT, AND NOW WE KNOW WHAT TO DO IN CASE AN ACTIVE SHOOTER COMES.

AND THANK YOU VERY MA CUE.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD? UH, I, I'LL ACTUALLY ADD TO THAT.

I, I MISSED THE TRAINING AS WELL, BUT, UH, WELL, THIS, THE MR. PAAS TA BOSCH, OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR, CAME IN, UH, GAVE ME A BULLET.

IT WAS THE SECOND BULLET FIRED, UH, IF THERE WAS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER TO COME IN THE CHAMBERS.

THE FIRST BULLET WAS FOR, UH, UH, THE WELCOME CENTER.

AND SO, UH, THE TRAINING IS VERY APPROPRIATE.

AND SO I THANK YOU ASSISTANT CHIEF FOR WORKING ON THAT.

UH, OBVIOUSLY IN THESE DAYS, DAYS AND TIMES, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO PREPARED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO I'M VERY GLAD THAT THAT TOOK PLACE.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT.

UH, THOSE FACTS CAN'T REALLY BE IGNORED.

THE MAJORITY OF THEM WERE IN TRAFFIC.

AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRST RESPONDERS ARE ALSO FACING SUBSTANTIAL MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AS A RESULT OF THE NATURE OF THEIR JOBS.

MENTAL STRESS, ALONG WITH LONG SHIFTS, LONG HOURS, AND THE UNPREDICTABLE AND SOMETIMES CHAOTIC CIRCUMSTANCES, THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN ARE PLACED UNDER CAN SOMETIMES TAKE ITS TOLL.

THEY ARE VERY FEW PROFESSIONS TODAY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WHERE INDIVIDUALS WHO SIGN UP, SACRIFICE THEIR OWN LIVES, RUN TOWARDS THE DANGERS, NOT FROM IT, IN ORDER TO PROTECT CITIZENS AND PROVIDE OVERALL SAFETY AND SECURITY TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

SO, TO THE KYLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO PROUDLY SERVE, WHO WEAR OUR CITY'S UNIFORM WITH INTEGRITY, WE SAY THANK YOU.

EXCUSE ME, I UNDERSTAND YOUR DUTIES, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND SACRIFICES OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT INTO OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, THAT YOU RECOGNIZE THE DUTY TO SERVE THE PEOPLE BY SAFEGUARDING LIFE AND PROPERTY, BY PROTECTING THEM AGAINST VIOLENCE AND DISORDER, AND PROTECT THE INNOCENT.

AND I'M GLAD TO, TO, TO SEE WHAT THE PARK'S DOING.

SO THANK YOU MS. STARK FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

VERY INFORMATIVE.

AND IT'S, THIS COULD ALSO BE A RECRUITING TOOL AS WELL, SO PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE WANTING TO, UH, APPLY FOR THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, UH, OR THE COMMISSION'S, UH, BOARDS THAT WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU GUYS ARE, ARE DOING.

SO I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE AND, AND IT'S GOOD TO SEE WHAT SOME OF DECISIONS AND, AND IDEAS THAT YOU'RE BRINGING FORWARD TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT THAT EVENTUALLY COME TO US.

SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT FOUNDATION AND THAT THAT'S THAT GRASSROOTS THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING TO, TO BRING TO US.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE IT.

CUSTOMER HAZARD.

UM, IN REGARDS TO KAYAK, IF WE DON'T FILL THE FULL, UM, NUM THE FULL NUMBER OF, UH, SPOTS, ARE WE STILL ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM? I DON'T.

SO WE CAN STILL HAVE A VOLUNTEER TEAM, VOLUNTEER PROGRAM.

NOW, WHETHER OR NOT IT'S NAMED KYLE, I HAVE TO CHART, CHECK WITH CHARTER AND, UM, SEE HOW IT WAS ESTABLISHED.

THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN PARSLEY.

BUT, UM, WE COULD DEFINITELY HAVE SOME KIND OF TEEN VOLUNTEER PROGRAM.

UM, AND I WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO AMANDA.

UM, YOU ARE A GEM TO WORK WITH AND TO TALK TO.

UM, AND IT SADDENS ME THAT YOUR TIME IS GONNA BE UP.

AND SO, UM, I HOPE YOU FIND ANOTHER, UM, BOARD COMMISSION THAT YOU, MAYBE YOU CAN JOIN.

YOU'VE BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AND, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU CONTINUE THAT.

SO THANK YOU AND THANK YOU TO ALL OUR BOARD MEMBER MEMBERS FOR, UH, VOLUNTEERING YOUR TIME AND YOUR EFFORT TO MAKING KYLE A BETTER PLACE.

AND I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE TIME THAT YOU HAVE SERVED ON THE BOARD, AND IT IS REALLY NI THIS WAS A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION REALLY TO SEE HOW YOU GUYS HAVE MADE THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL BEFORE, YOU KNOW, RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE DIRECTORS BEFORE IT COMES TO COUNCIL.

IT'S NICE TO SEE HOW, HOW WELL YOU GUYS HAVE WORKED AND HOW ORGANIZED THE PRESENTATION ONE.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU REALLY KUDOS FOR, FOR THE JOB THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER NINE, PRESENTATION OF 2022 ROAD BOND PROGRAM UPDATE.

[9. Presentation of 2022 Road Bond Program Update. ~ Joe Cantalupo, K Friese & Associates, City's 2022 Road Bond Program Manager]

MR. CAN LUPO.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

COUNSEL.

UH, MY NAME IS JOE ALPO.

I WORK FOR KRE AND ASSOCIATES, AND I AM MANAGING THE TEAM THAT IS, UH, BRINGING YOUR, UH, BOND PROGRAM, UH, TO LIFE.

I HAVE A VERY, UH, BRIEF UPDATE, UM, AND I'LL START BY SAYING AS WE CONTINUE WITH, UH, TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAM, THE NATURE OF THE DETAILS AND ACTUALLY THE NUMBER OF DE DETAILS WILL, UM, WILL CHANGE, WE'LL INCREASE.

SO AS A QUICK REMINDER, UM, THERE WERE EIGHT PROJECTS.

WE HAD THEM DIVIDED UP INTO 10 PIECES.

UH, THE KOHLER'S PROJECT WAS DIVIDED INTO A A 35 PIECE AND A AN OFF SYSTEM PIECE IN BB ROAD.

WE HAD DIVIDED INTO WEST AND EAST.

UM, SEVEN PROJECTS.

UM, NINE SEGMENTS ARE, ARE UNDERWAY.

UM, THE BULK OF THEM ARE IN THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN.

UM, ONE IS IN PS AND E AND WE'RE WAITING, UH, FOR SOME DEVELOPMENT, UH, APPROVAL FOR MARKETPLACE, UH, TO GET RESOLVED BEFORE WE, WE PICK THAT ONE UP.

SO, OUT OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDERWAY, UH, RITE OF ENTRY IS IN PROCESS, UH, FOR THE PROJECTS LISTED.

AND THAT INCLUDES THE OFF SYSTEM PORTION, THE NON-TEXT OUT PORTION OF THE CALLERS TO SETON PROJECT OF BOTH SEGMENTS OF BB ROAD, THE KYLE PARKWAY AND LEHMAN ROAD EXTENSION, BUNTON CREEK ROAD AND WIND HILL ROAD, UM, WIND HILL ROAD.

UM, I, I LEARNED, UH, EARLIER TODAY, ALL THE RITE OF ENTRY HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR THAT.

UH, THE, THE RITE OF ENTRY IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE AS WE GO THROUGH THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND EVEN PS E SOME FIELD WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE, THINGS LIKE, UH, SURVEY OR GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS.

AND THE RITE OF ENTRY IS PERMISSION FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO ALLOW THOSE TEAMS TO GET ON, UM, THE SITE AND DO THAT WORK.

SO THAT'S WELL UNDERWAY.

AND, UH, WE'VE STARTED,

[00:45:01]

UH, PROPERTY OWNER COORDINATION, UH, FOR THE PROJECTS LISTED.

AGAIN, THAT'S THE OFF SYSTEM PORTION OF KOHLERS TO SETON, UH, BB ROAD BOAST, BOTH WEST AND EAST SECTIONS AND, AND WIND HILL ROAD.

UM, AND, AND THAT'S A, A GOOD SIGN.

SO AGAIN, UM, IT DOESN'T, IF YOU GO OUT AND YOU LOOK AT THE PROJECT SITES, YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF ACTIVITY.

BUT THE REASON WE'RE HERE, AND WE'LL COME BACK EVERY MONTH IF YOU'LL ALLOW US TO, IS TO LET YOU KNOW THAT ALTHOUGH YOU DON'T SEE IT, THERE IS A LOT GOING ON AND WE ARE PROGRESSING A AS AS WE PLAN.

UH, THE LAST SLIDE, AND THESE ARE JUST SOME, UH, IMPORTANT, THEY MAY SEEM LIKE RANDOM NOTES, IS THAT FOR THE PROJECTS THAT ARE ON THE A TEXT DOT ROAD ROAD, OR FOR A PROJECT THAT CONNECTS TO A TECHO ROAD, UM, I'VE EXPLAINED BEFORE THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE, UH, THE CITY HAS TO HAVE ADVANCED, UH, FUNDING AGREEMENTS WITH TECH DOT.

THOSE ARE ALL, UH, BEEN DRAFTED AND WE'RE WAITING FOR ONE QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED FROM TEXT DOT.

THEY'VE BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

AND THEN WE WILL SUBMIT THOSE AASS FOR REVIEW.

IF WE GET ANY COMMENTS BACK, WE'LL ADDRESS THEM.

AND WHEN THE COMMENTS ARE ADDRESSED IN THEIR READY, WE WILL COME BACK AND PRESENT THE AFAS TO COUNCIL ALONG WITH, UH, DRAFT OF A RESOLUTION THAT IS REQUIRED FOR TEXDOT TO GO AHEAD AND PROCESS THE AFAS.

AND AS A REMINDER, THOSE AFAS ALLOW TEXDOT TO BE ENGAGED, WHICH MEANS, UM, THEY'LL REVIEW THE PLANS FOR THE ROADS THAT ARE ON THEIR SYSTEM, AND IT ALLOWS THEM, UH, TO ENGAGE WHERE A PROJECT NEEDS TO SIMPLY CONNECT TO THEIR SYSTEM.

BUT THEY NEED THOSE AFAS IN ORDER TO ENGAGE FORMALLY WITH, WITH, WITH THE, THE PROJECTS.

UM, WE'VE JUST, UH, UPDATED, UH, A CASHFLOW ANALYSIS TO HELP WITH THE BUDGETING THAT, UH, YOU FOLKS WILL, I GUESS, UH, UNDERTAKE THAT WILL START VERY SOON.

AND IN TERMS OF OUTREACH, UM, THE NOTE SAYS WE'RE UPDATING, UH, THE WEBSITE, UH, BUT AS OF LATER THIS AFTERNOON, THE WEBSITE IS, IS UP AND RUNNING.

UH, WE'VE ADDRESSED, UM, MOST, UM, OF THE COMMENTS, MANY OF THE COMMENTS WE'VE RECEIVED.

UM, AND WE'LL BE BACK EVERY TIME WE MAKE A CHANGE OR WE UPDATE A PART OF OUR MONTHLY REPORTING WILL BE JUST TO RE REPLY OR TO LET COUNCIL KNOW THIS IS WHAT WE ADDED, THIS IS WHAT WE CHANGED.

UM, BUT IT'S, IT'S, IT'S UP AND RUNNING.

UM, WE WILL PROBABLY WORK WITH, UH, RACHEL, UH, TO LET IT, UH, JUST SORT OF NATURALLY LE GET OUT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, ALTHOUGH IT'S BEEN TESTED SEVERAL TIMES, WE WANNA MAKE SURE IT IT WORKS.

AND THEN, UM, WE'LL PROBABLY, UH, REACH OUT AND SEE IF MAYBE THE CITY WANTS TO MAKE A MORE FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE WEBSITE IS UP AND RUNNING.

UM, AND THE LAST ITEM I HAVE IS THAT, UH, THERE'S GONNA BE, UH, WE'RE PLANNING AGAIN WITH CITY STAFF, A COMMUNITY-WIDE TOWN HALL, UH, AT CITY HALL ON JUNE 28TH.

AND THAT IS WHEN WE WILL, UM, JUST, UH, UPDATE THE COMMUNITY ON, IT'LL BE A A A A COME AND GO AS YOU PLEASE SORT OF EVENT.

AND WE'LL JUST UPDATE FOLKS ON, UH, AGAIN, WHAT THE PROJECTS ARE, WHAT THE SCHEDULES ARE, AND WHAT THE PROGRESSES.

AND SO THAT'S IT FOR THE UPDATE.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY, UH, SENSE OR ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN YOU THINK THE AFAS WITH TECH DOT WILL BE BEFORE THE DICE? UH, NO MA'AM.

I, I DON'T, WE, WE REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT IT TAKES THEM TO REVIEW IT.

WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT WE'VE CO COORDINATED WITH THEM CLOSELY.

IF WE HAD A QUESTION WE ASKED, THEY'VE BEEN VERY GOOD IN RESPONDING.

AND WHAT WE'RE HOPING IS THAT WE WILL CUT DOWN THE, YOU KNOW, THE TIME THEY NEED TO REVIEW.

UM, I'LL ALSO TELL YOU THAT IT HASN'T, UM, PREVENTED THEM, YOU KNOW, FROM ENGAGING, YOU KNOW, WITH US GIVING SOME INFORMAL ADVICE.

AGAIN, THEY'VE ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION WE'VE HAD AND WE'RE ABLE TO GET INFORMATION FROM THEM.

THIS IS JUST SORT OF, UM, PAPERING UP THEIR INVOLVEMENT FOR LACK OF A, A BETTER PHRASE.

THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WE NEED ACCESS TO, RIGHT? OKAY.

MS. YOU MAY, OKAY.

UH, TWO THINGS.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

SO WE'VE ALREADY HAD THIS DISCUSSION IN THE LAST MEETING ABOUT CONTACTING PROPERTY OWNERS.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ALREADY STARTED TO DO THAT ON SPECIFIC PROJECTS.

NOW, HOW, WHAT IS THE PROCESS THAT YOU ARE IMPLEMENTING OR HOW ARE YOU REACHING OUT TO THESE PROPERTY OWNERS ABOUT THE, THE ACTUAL ACTUALLY ENGINEERING AND SO FORTH? SO WHAT IS THE PROCESS THERE WHEN IT COMES TO SPEAK, SPEAKING TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS? IT, IT, A COUPLE OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT NOT EVERY PROPERTY OWNER ALONG PROJECT ROUTE MIGHT BE CONTACTED AT THIS POINT.

IT'S ONLY

[00:50:01]

THAT'S IF WE'RE, UM, EXPECTING FOR EXAMPLE, UH, RIGHT OF WAY NEEDED.

SO YOU COULD BE ALONG A ROADWAY BUT NOT BE CONTACTED BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING RIGHT OF WAY.

THE OTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND AT THIS STAGE, SOME OF THE PROJECTS ARE ABLE TO DO THINGS FROM INFORMATION THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, UH, IF THERE'S GOOD RIGHT OF WAY INFORMATION, WE COULD ADVANCE THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN WITHOUT HAVING TO GET ON A LOT OF PROPERTIES MM-HMM.

BUT AT THIS STAGE, FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHERE WE NEED A BIGGER PRESENCE, RIGHT? WE NEED TO GET ON SITE, UM, THEY GET A RIGHT OF ENTRY LETTER.

THAT'S A PRETTY PRESCRIBED, UM, PROCESS.

UM, WE DESCRIBE THE PROJECT, THEY GET TO LOOK AT THEIR PARCEL MM-HMM.

, AND THEN THEY GET TO TELL US IF THEY HAVE ANY SPECIAL CONDITIONS.

AND IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM, YOU KNOW, I'M ONLY HOME TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS, YOU HAVE TO COME TUESDAY AND THURSDAY.

OR I HAVE DOGS, PLEASE GIVE ME, YOU KNOW, TWO HOURS NOTICE SO I CAN PUT THE DOGS UP.

UM, OR, UH, WE'VE GOTTEN REQUESTS FOR CERTAIN FOR PROOF OF INSURANCE, RIGHT.

SO THEY'RE NOT HELD LIABLE IF ONE OF THE CONTRACTORS GETS HURT.

UM, NOW THIS IS NOT SUBSTITUTING FOR PROPERTY OWNER CONTACT AND OUTREACH AS THE PROJECTS, AS WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW PEOPLE.

THIS IS JUST SO WE CAN ADVANCE THE STUDIES NEEDED SO WE CAN GET TO THE POINT TO SHOW PEOPLE DRAFT DESIGNS.

HAVE YOU GOT ANY PUSHBACK FROM ANY RESIDENTS THAT YOU KNOW OF JUST RIGHT OFF THE BAT? N NOTHING, THEY'RE PRETTY, THEY'RE PRETTY WELL INFORMED THAT ROADS ARE GONNA BE COMING IN THEIR AREA AND THEY'RE WELCOMED IN A SENSE TO WHERE THEY, THEY UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY NEED TO BE ON THE, YOU, YOU NEED TO BE ON THEIR PROPERTY OR CONTRACTORS.

A AS FAR AS I KNOW TODAY, THAT COMMUNICATION LINE, NO ONE HAS SAID NO.

UH, WE, WE HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF, UH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CALLING UP WITH QUESTIONS, CAN I, CAN I, CAN I ASK FOR THIS THING? LIKE MM-HMM.

, YOU KNOW, YOU ONLY COME OUT ON A TUESDAY OR THURSDAY.

, UH, WE HAD, UH, ONE OR TWO PROPERTY OWNERS MAKE SURE THAT, UM, THEY WERE HELD HARMLESS, YOU KNOW, THROUGH LIKE A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE, RIGHT? MM-HMM.

, BUT NO ONE'S SAID, UH, NO.

UM, AND IF THEY DO, UM, SAY, NO, I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS, WOULD PROBABLY REACH, NOT PROBABLY WE'LL REACH OUT TO STAFF, UM, AND ASK IF MAYBE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE ON STAFF HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY OWNER.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OF FOLKS THAT, UM, ARE SLOW IN RESPONDING AND, AND WE'LL ALSO WORK WITH STAFF TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP TO MAKE SURE THEY GOT THE LETTER TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

BUT NO ONE'S, UH, NO ONE'S BEEN UPSET AS, AS FAR AS I KNOW.

ARE MAKING THE DECISIONS OR WHAT THEIR IDEAS AND THE CONCEPTS ARE.

GREAT.

AND MY LAST QUESTION WOULD BE IS WHEN WE HAD OUR FIRST TOWN HALL MEETING AND WE HAD LIKE A FORUM WHERE WE HAD MAYOR MITCHELL AND WE ALSO HAD MR. BARTON UP THERE, I THINK THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO TALK IN REAL TIME ABOUT THE PROJECT OF WHAT IT WOULD CONSIST OF.

AND I THINK IF WE HAVE A SECOND ONE, I THINK HAVING THAT KIND OF A FORMAT OR THAT KIND OF VENUE SETTING WOULD, WOULD, WOULD DRAW EVEN MORE INTEREST BECAUSE WE'RE DOING IT IN PHASES, RIGHT? AND WE CAN BE ABLE TO DO THE ONLINE QUESTIONS.

SO LIKE IF WE HAVE A RESIDENT THAT WANTS TO SEND IN A QUESTION WHILE WE'RE DOING THAT, UH, IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE IN-PERSON TOWN HALL, THAT WE CAN CONTINUE THAT KIND OF CONCEPT OF IN-PERSON REAL TIME CONVERSATIONS AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW, OKAY, THE BOND WAS PASSED.

THIS IS WHERE WE AT ON THE FIRST PHASES.

HERE ARE THE ROADS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

AND IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC PROJECT MANAGERS WORKING ON THOSE ROADS, THEY CAN ALSO, UH, GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF INPUT OF WHERE THEY'RE AT IN STAGES.

THAT WAY RESIDENTS WHO ARE WEST OF KYLE, EAST KYLE, OR IF THEY'RE ON BB OR IF THEY'RE ON KOHLERS, THEY CAN HAVE AN IDEA OF, OKAY, THAT'S WHERE IT'S GONNA BE COMING DOWN IN MY PATH AND MY PART OF TOWN.

AND WE CAN KEEP THAT DIALOGUE GOING ON THAT END.

SO I, I, THAT WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SEE CONTINUED.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE'RE PLANNING, UM, AND, AND WE EXCHANGED, UM, UH, STAFF SUGGESTED TO US, I THINK IT WAS TODAY OR YESTERDAY, THAT WE HAVE A PLANNING SESSION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE WITH REGARD TO WHAT THAT WORKSHOP WILL LOOK LIKE.

UM, I, I WOULD JUST ADD THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL EARLY IN THE PROCESS, RIGHT? SO THIS IS IN A WAY, IS, UH, UH, ANOTHER KICKOFF TO LET EVERYONE KNOW, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT PROJECTS ARE AND THAT THEY'VE BEEN STARTED, YOU KNOW, THOSE CONVERSATIONS, UH, A LIVE SORT OF EVENT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT MAKES SENSE NOW OR MAYBE THE NEXT MEETING.

BUT IT'S, IT'S A GREAT IDEA, BUT IT ALSO GIVES THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE YOUR, WHO ARE THE KEY PLAYERS IN THIS BOND, AND WHO ARE THE KEY PLAYERS THAT

[00:55:01]

BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT WAY IT KEEPS THE RESIDENTS REALLY INFORMED.

THEY CAN PUT A, A NAME TO A FACE TO A PROJECT IF THEY NEEDED TO, AND THEY CAN SEE THAT WE'RE PROACTIVELY ENGAGING OUR RESIDENTS BECAUSE THIS REALLY, REALLY MATTERS TO THEM.

I MEAN, JUST LIKE RIGHT NOW, WE HAD A TRAIN THAT STALLED FOR FIVE HOURS, .

JERRY HENDRICKS, INTERIM CITY MANAGER.

WOULD IT BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ALTERNATE ROUTES TO GO THROUGH THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND, AND TO HAVE THOSE ROADS AVAILABLE? AND IT'S JUST BEING ABLE TO GET IN THAT CONCEPT TO WHERE WE CAN BE ABLE TO LET OUR RESIDENTS KNOW.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, JOE.

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

CITY MANAGERS REPORT.

MS. HENDRICKS, AIR COUNSEL FOR THE RECORD.

UH, FIRST UP OF MY REPORT IS MARIANNA ESPINOZA, PARKS DIRECTOR, MAYOR, AND COUNSEL MARIA ESP ESPINOZA PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR.

UH, AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE, UH, THE CITY HOSTED THE VIETNAM WALL THAT HEALS, WHICH IS A REPLICA OF THE VIETNAM MEMORIAL WALL.

APPROXIMATELY 6,500 PEOPLE, UH, CAME TO LAKE KYLE BETWEEN MAY 4TH AND MAY 7TH TO VISIT THE WALL.

UM, AND PROBABLY ONE WORD WE HEAR THE MOST TO DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH THOSE THAT BROUGHT THE WALL TO KYLE HOSTED AND VISITED THE WALL, WAS THAT IT WAS A VERY MOVIE EXPERIENCE.

SO, UM, I WILL HAVE GRANT PLAY THE VIDEO, WHICH CAN KIND OF JUST GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW MUCH BETTER THAN I CAN IN WORDS.

SO GRANT, IF YOU COULD PLEASE PUSH PLAY.

MANY OF MY FRIENDS ARE ON THIS WALL.

NOW.

I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE FAMILY, BUT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT FAMILY IS LIKE UNTIL YOU'VE SERVED NEXT TO A BROTHER FOR LIFE.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE TODAY, SHAKE THE HAND OF THOSE BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

THIS IS A VERY PLEASING AND HEALING TIME.

AND TO THIS DAY, WHEN I SEE THE AMERICAN FLAG WAVING, ESPECIALLY IN A PARADE, I GET GOOSEBUMPS.

THE POINT IS THAT EVERY SINGLE MAN AND WOMAN THAT COMMITTED THEIR LIFE TO THAT SERVICE DID IT BECAUSE THEY LOVED AND RESPECTED THEIR COUNTRY.

BUT IT IS A JOYOUS TIME FOR THOSE THAT SERVED BECAUSE THEY ARE BROTHERS.

UH, WHEN THE BRAVE WARRIORS CAME HOME, MANY OF WHOM ARE HERE WITH US TODAY, UH, THEY RECEIVED NEITHER A HEROES WELCOME NOR THE APPRECIATION FOR THEIR SERVICE THAT THEY DESERVED.

AS A RESULT, THE 3 MILLION OR SO VETERANS WHO SERVED IN VIETNAM DID NOT RECEIVE THE TYPE OF WELCOME HOME THAT, UH, VETERANS FROM OTHER WARS RECEIVED WITH THIS WALL, THE ONE IN WASHINGTON, THIS, UH, REPLICA OR MOBILE WALL HERE AMERICA FINALLY SAID, WELCOME HOME TO ALL OF THE VETERANS.

WHEN YOU, UH, SEE YOUR IMAGE REFLECTED BACK FROM YOU WITH THE NAME OF A LOVED ONE OR A FRIEND INSCRIBED OVER YOUR IMAGE, UH, IT IT'S GOTTA TOUCH YOUR HEART.

IT JUST DOES.

IT'S, UH, IT'S AN IMPORTANT THING.

AND, UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO WASHINGTON TO SEE THE WALL OR, OR CAN'T GET THERE, THIS IS THE COUNTRY'S EFFORT TO BRING THE WALL TO YOU.

AND IT'S REALLY SOMETHING THAT'S, UH, UH, SHOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

AND I, I'M SO PROUD AND GLAD THAT IT'S HERE IN KYLE.

THERE ARE 58,281 NAMES OF THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR COUNTRY AND FREEDOM AROUND THE WORLD AS, AND ALSO IN THAT NUMBER IS, UH, A NUMBER THEY'RE STILL MISSING IN ACTION.

UH, AND WE'LL NEVER STOP LOOKING FOR THEM, UH, ON THE WALL.

IT DOES NOT DESIGNATE SERVICE OR RANK OF ANY KIND.

NO ONE'S SERVICE OR SACRIFICE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYONE'S ELSE.

THEY'RE THE NAMES OF THE INDIVIDUALS, AND THAT'S ALL.

IN FACT, THERE ARE 161 NAMES OF MEDAL OF HONOR WINNERS ON THAT WALL, NOT DESIGNATED.

THEY'RE JUST SOME OF THE TROOPS THAT WE LOST.

THEY'RE ALL IMPORTANT TO US.

AND SO I THINK THE WALL IS EXTREMELY WELL DESIGNED AND, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S EARNED THE REPUTATION OF THE WALL THAT HEALS FOR ONE OF THE REASONS IT'S, IT'S REALLY WELL DONE.

THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE NAME ON THIS WALL IS 20, THE MOST OFTEN AGE.

THE AGE OF 33,000 PLUS OF THE 58,000 NAMES ON THIS WALL IS 1830 3000 PLUS, OR 18

[01:00:01]

EIGHT YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER.

I KNOW I WAS 18 WHEN I SIGNED UP, BUT, UH, I VOLUNTEERED TO SERVE WITH MANY OF MY FRIENDS WHOSE NAMES WERE ON THIS WALL.

UH, THE AIR FORCE HAD OTHER THINGS FOR ME TO DO, AND I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO SUPPORT THOSE TROOPS.

BUT, UH, UH, GOD BLESS 'EM ALL.

UH, I SERVE WITH EVERYONE ON THIS WALL, UH, AND, UH, I, GOD BLESS THEM.

GOD BLESS YOU FOR BEING HERE, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.

ANY QUESTIONS? CUSTOMER, PARSLEY.

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO GRANT AND DEFINITELY AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE THAT WAS ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE WALL WHILE IT WAS HERE.

AND BACK AT LAKE KYLE THIS WEEKEND IS OUR KYLE FAIR TECH EXTRAVAGANZA.

THAT WAS REALLY LIKE MOVING, TOUCHING.

I, I HAVE NO WORDS FOR IT.

UM, ALSO FOR WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING FOR THE TEXTURE OF GANZA, I CANNOT WAIT TO GO.

WE HAD SCHEDULED A WALK THROUGH YESTERDAY AT THREE O'CLOCK, BUT THERE WAS MISCOMMUNICATION IN, UH, AND A COUPLE OF MEMBERS DIDN'T INTEND TO WALK THROUGH, SO WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND RESCHEDULE THAT.

SO IF COUNCIL MEMBERS, IF Y'ALL ARE INTERESTED IN NEXT WALK, UH, THROUGH THAT, WE'RE PLANNING, UH, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.

WE'LL TRY TO PLAY OVER THAT PROBABLY NEXT WEEK.

I'M SORRY, LEON, I MISSED THE, UM, THE LINE RELOCATION ITEM.

DID YOU, YOU SAID THE, UH, YES.

THEY, THEY WILL START TOMORROW AND DOING THE SPLICING THEN THEY NEED TO DO TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT, AND THEY THINK THEY HAVE ABOUT TWO WEEKS WORTH OF WORK TO DO THERE AT THE MOST.

AND THEN ONCE THEY GET THAT DONE, THEN, THEN WE CAN START TAKING DOWN THE POLES, THE REST OF THE POLES.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

ANY PAINTBRUSH? LIFT STATION? UH, WE'RE ABOUT 52% COMPLETE.

UH, THEY COMPLETED THE, UH, COATING ON THE WET WELL, UH, THEY'RE INSTALLING THE, UH, PANELS FOR THE, UH, PUMPS.

AND, UH, THAT'S PLANNED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

SPEAKING OF THE UNION PACIFIC, UH, I THINK WE HAD A QUAD ZONE MOST OF THE AFTERNOON.

IT WASN'T REALLY PLANNED, BUT WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS JUST GIVE YOU AN UPDATE WHERE WE ARE IN THE QUIET ZONE.

HAD SOME GOOD NEWS, SO I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO PASS THAT ON.

UH, WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS WHAT WE PRESENTED BACK TO COUNCIL BACK ON DECEMBER 15TH OF LAST YEAR.

AND, UH, THE ARROWS ARE POINTING OUT WHAT'S BEEN DONE, WHAT'S BEEN COMPLETED, OR WHAT'S STILL IN PROGRESS.

IF YOU LOOK AT PHASE ONE, WE'RE COMPLETE, THAT'S DONE.

WE'RE WORKING ON PHASE TWO.

ITEM ONE AND TWO, WE'RE WORKING ON CENTER AND SOUTH STREET.

THOSE ARE THE LAST TWO ROADS THAT WE NEED TO DO THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE QUAD ZONE.

THE, UM, CONTRACTOR IS AARON CONSTRUCTION.

UH, THE CONTRACT'S BEEN AWARDED THE, UH, PLAN, THEY PLAN TO START HOPEFULLY AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE WITH ALL THE PAPERWORK THAT WE NEEDED FROM PAC PACIFIC'S.

BEEN, UH, WE'VE GOTTEN ALL THAT INFORMATION, WE'VE TAKEN CARE OF ALL THE TRAINING THAT'S REQUIRED FOR THAT.

SO HOPEFULLY BEGINNING OF JUNE WILL START THE CONSTRUCTION ON THAT.

WE'RE EXPECTING ABOUT 60 TO 90 DAY CONSTRUCTION PERIOD ON THAT PROJECT.

UH, AS YOU CAN SEE, STEP THREE AND PHASE TWO IS COMPLETED, UM, ON, UH, STEP FOUR AND, AND, UH, FIVE, THEY'RE STILL IN PROGRESS.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO WRAP THOSE ITEMS UP.

UH, PHASE THREE, WE DID COMPLETE ITEM ONE AND WE DID GET THE TRAFFIC COUNTS FOR THE, UH, UNION PACIFIC AND, UH, FEDERAL, FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION AS REQUIRED.

AND, UH, ONCE WE COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION, THEN WE'RE GONNA STEP INTO PHASE THREE AND, AND, UH, DO WHAT WE CALL THE, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO IS TO TELL 'EM WE'VE, WE'RE DONE, WE'RE FINISHED.

WE'RE GONNA DO A NOTICE OF ESTABLISHMENT AT THAT POINT.

IT TRIGGERS A PROCESS WHERE THEY COME AND LOOK AND SEE WHAT WE'VE DONE, MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S IN ORDER, EVERYTHING'S IN PLACE, AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED OR, OR REFIED OR WHATEVER, THEN WE'LL FIX THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET THOSE QUIET ZONES IMPLEMENTED.

COUNCIL HAD ASKED STAFF TO LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITY OF, UH, TRYING TO RELOCATE THE SOUTH GO FORTH ROAD AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

IS THAT, UH, WHAT'S NOW CALLED GOFORTH, SOUTH GOFORTH ROAD, UH, N NL 13, JUST N LRC S WERE NO, UH, NEW LANE ROADWAY.

, WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS KINDA GIVE YOU A BIT OF BACKUP ON, ON THAT PROTECTOR, UH, SECTION OF ROAD.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP ON THE LEFT, THAT COMES FROM THE 2005 TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN.

UH, N L R 13

[01:15:01]

THAT'S ALL IT STANDS FOR.

NOTHING SPECTACULAR, BUT IT IS A NEW LANE ROADWAY THAT WAS PLANNED BACK IN 2005.

MASTER PLAN, JUST TO REMIND COUNSEL, THESE LINES, UM, THAT WE HAVE ON THESE MAPS, THEY'RE JUST A LINE ON THE MAP WHERE THEY LAND OR WHERE THEY END UP IS UP TO THE DEVELOPERS, UP TO COUNCIL, AND WHERE THEY FINALLY END UP.

SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, IT DIDN'T SAY WHETHER IT WOULD BE ON THE CITY PART OR WHERE THE SAN MARCO SIDE JUST SHOWED A LINE THROUGH THAT, UH, PARTICULAR AREA, THE 2015 TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, IT STAYED THE SAME, DIDN'T CHANGE, WENT IN A NORTHEAST EASTERLY DIRECTION, UH, ALL THE WAY TO ONE, UH, UH, TO ONE 50.

AND SO NOTHING REALLY CHANGED ON THAT PARTICULAR PLAN.

SEPTEMBER 7TH OF 21, COUNCIL APPROVED THE REVISIONS TO THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, IF YOU'LL NOTICE, GO FORTH ROAD AS IT WAS CALLED, UH, UH, ON THIS, UH, 2021 MASTER PLAN.

UH, IT STARTS OUT, UH, GOING NORTHEAST DIRECTION THERE AT, UH, YARRINGTON HEADS INTO NORTHEAST DIRECTION, AND THEN IT KIND OF CURVES BACK OVER TO THE, UH, NORTH.

AND THE REASON THAT THAT WAS DONE THAT WAY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCHEMATIC PLAN, UH, THAT SHOWS YOU THE SCHEMATIC PLAN THAT WAS PREPARED BY THE, UM, UH, CONSULTANT FROM THE, UH, THAT'S WORKING ON THE HERITAGE PROJECT THERE.

THERE'S A BLUE LINE THERE THAT IS A GAS EASEMENT, A GAS LINE EASEMENT.

THERE'S A 20 INCH AND A 30 INCH GAS LINE IN THAT BLUE LINE AREA.

THE GAS COMPANIES DO NOT LIKE FOR US TO PUT ROADS OVER THEIR GAS LINES.

THEY WILL LET YOU CROSS THEM AND YOU HAVE TO DO QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO DO THAT, BUT THEY DON'T LIKE FOR YOU CROSSING THOSE, UH, OR HAVING A ROAD PARALLEL OR PLACED ON TOP OF THEIR GAS LINE EASEMENT.

THAT'S THE REASON THE ROAD WAS CURVED BACK TO THE NORTH, UH, WITH THIS PARTICULAR PLAN, UPPER LEFT.

AND ON THE, ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THIS IS GO FORTH ROAD AS IT EXISTS TODAY.

IT HAS BEEN BUILT AT, AT, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT, THAT GREEN AREA IN THE BACK, THAT IS THE BACK END OF QUELL RIDGE, UH, SUBDIVISION ON THE LOWER LEFT, THAT IS THE ROUNDABOUT.

IT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED.

IT IS CONCRETE.

SO IT'S BEEN COMPLETED.

SO IN ANSWER TO COUNCIL'S QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER WE CAN RELOCATE THAT ROAD, IT'S TOO LATE NOW AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

IT'S THE ROAD'S HALFWAY BUILT AND IT'S GOING IN THAT SAME DIRECTION AS, AS, AS BASED ON THOSE AGREEMENTS THAT WE DID WITH THE DEVELOPERS.

QUESTIONS.

CAN I LOOK AT THAT ROAD AGAIN? HOW WIDE IS IT? IS DOES IT HAVE THE SIDEWALKS AND WILL IT HAVE SIDEWALKS TO, I MAKE IT AN IMPROVEMENT INTO THAT COMMUNITY, INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD? SIDEWALKS ARE PLANNED ON THE SECTION THAT YOU SEE THERE BY THE BLUE LINE.

THERE'S ALSO A VIBE THAT'S GONNA BE GOING IN THERE.

ONE THING THEY WILL LET US DO ON THAT EASEMENT IS THEY'LL LET US AT LEAST PUT A TRAIL THERE.

SO THAT'S THE PLAN.

SO THERE WILL BE A VIBE ON THE EAST SIDE WHERE THAT BLUE LINE IS, BUT THE REST OF THE, THE ROAD IS 48 FEET OF PAVEMENT.

I SPECIFICALLY ASK THEM TO GIVE ME 48 FEET OF ASPHALT, NOT 48 FEET, TO FACE TO FACE OF CURB.

UH, PEOPLE DON'T LIKE DRIVING THAT CURB LINE.

SO ASKED FOR A CLEAN 48 FEET.

SO WE HAVE FOUR 12 FOOT LANES IN THE EVENT.

IT, UH, SOMEBODY DECIDES THAT WE NEED TO PUT BICYCLE LANES ON THAT, WHICH WILL HAVE THE VIBE.

SO WE PROBABLY WON'T NEED THE BICYCLE LANES, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF, UH, FLEXIBILITY WITH FOUR FOOT, FOUR 12 FOOT LANES.

CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE OTHER ONE WITH THE ROAD COMPLETED? OKAY.

SO THE SCHEMATICS WERE DONE BY THE DEVELOPER, THE DEVELOPERS, ENGINEERS, THERE WERE NEGOTIATIONS WITH, UH, CITY AND, UH, DEVELOPERS WHEN THEY WERE DESIGNING THESE ROADS WITH THE ALIGNMENTS OF THE ROADS.

SO, BUT THE SCHEMATIC ITSELF WAS DONE BY THE DEVELOPER.

I ASKED THEM TO UPDATE THEIR MAPS, BUT APPROVED BY OUR STAFF? NO, NOT BY STAFF.

WELL, DOES IT HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY STAFF? OH, YES.

THE PLANS ULTIMATELY HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY STAFF, YES.

THESE ARE JUST SCHEMATICS.

BUT YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS ROAD IS, OR THERE'S A ROAD ORDER.

IS THIS THE ROAD ON COLEMAN'S TRACK OR IS THIS A DIFFERENT ROAD? THIS IS, THIS WAS COLEMAN'S PROPERTY, THIS ROAD THAT'S EXISTING.

THERE WAS COLEMAN'S PROPERTY, BUT HE SOLD THAT OFF TO THE ALLIANCE AND THEY, THEY BUILT THE ROAD ALLIANCE.

I'M TRYING TO GET A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS, WE JUST SEE A STRAIGHT ROAD.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE UPPER LEFT, YOU CAN SEE THAT DARK LINE.

UH, THAT'S, THAT'S THE ROAD ITSELF THERE.

AND SO, OH, AND WE'RE SURE IT'S JUST GONNA AFFECT THOSE SIX HOMES.

AND I DON'T WANNA SAY JEST AS IF THEY DON'T MATTER, BUT MY CONCERN IS WITH A, A ROAD THAT WIDE THAT'S GONNA GO THROUGH A SUBDIVISION, MY FEAR IS IT'S GONNA, IT'S GONNA CAUSE MORE HAVOC THAN WE, THAN WE ANTICIPATE.

THE PLAN IS JUST TO TAKE THOSE SIX SLOTS.

IS THAT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT LEON, THOSE SIX HOUSES, I GUESS IN THIS GO STRAIGHT VIEW, RIGHT WHERE THE ROAD ENDED? THAT'S, THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

ON THE RIGHT PICTURE.

THAT'S THE ROAD LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD.

EASTERN END OF THE QUELL RIDGE SIDE DIVISION.

THAT'S THE, THE, UH,

[01:20:01]

CAN YOU GO TO THE OTHER SLIDE? SO YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE THAT QUELL RIDGE WITH THE NEW ALIGNMENT IS GOING TO HAVE ACCESS MM-HMM.

TO GO FORTH, WHICH MEANS THAT IF THEY WANT TO GO SOUTH, THEY NO LONGER HAVE TO DRIVE THE MILE NORTH TO 35 AND TURN AROUND.

BUT RATHER THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GO OUT THE BACK OF THEIR SUBDIVISION TO LEAVE.

, AND I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE, I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY THERE WOULD EVER BE TRAFFIC USED AS A CUT THROUGH.

SO THAT, I THINK THAT ROAD, THAT ACCESS TO GO FORTH WOULD BE A VERY DESIRABLE AND TIME SAVING AMENITY TO THEM.

TO THE, TO THE HOMES THAT REMAIN TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT.

NO, TO THE IN QUO RIDGE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO EXIT THE BACK OF THEIR SUBDIVISION.

AND GO DIRECTLY SOUTH TO YARRINGTON AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TO COME OUT TO I 35 AND THEN LOOP ALL THE WAY UP THE MILE UP TO GO, UH, TO CENTER STREET AND THEN LOOP BACK AROUND IN ORDER TO GO SOUTH ON I 35.

WHAT, UH, I GET THAT.

UM, HOWEVER, SIX OF THOSE PEOPLE CANNOT DO THAT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND SO THAT, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE CONCERN WAS, WAS, YOU KNOW, WE AGREED THAT WE WERE GONNA BE, UM, THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THAT.

AND SO THAT'S REALLY WHERE MY CONCERN IS.

AND I, YOU KNOW, TO DISCUSS THIS AFTERWARDS, I'M GONNA BE REAL HONEST, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 2021 TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, AND LEON, YOU AND I HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS, THIS PLAN WITH THE PREVIOUS CITY MANAGER AND OTHER CONCERNS IN OTHER PLACES.

I, WHAT I NEED STAFF TO UNDERSTAND IS WHEN I LOOK AT IT, TO ME, THIS IS COMPLICATED.

AND WE WERE TOLD LIKE, HEY, THIS IS JUST A MAP.

LIKE IT'S, WE'LL SEE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR BEFORE ANYTHING GETS BUILT, AND THEN COUNCIL WILL HAVE THE FINAL SAY.

BUT ESSENTIALLY IT, I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT WORKED OUT THAT WAY.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING BEFORE THERE WAS A FINAL SAY ON WHERE THESE ROADS SHOULD GO AND, AND TO THE RESIDENCE DEFENSE, YOU KNOW, IF I DON'T GET IT, I I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA GET IT CUZ WE'RE OFFERED ANY INFORMATION THAT WE REQUEST.

UM, SO THIS, THIS MAP, THIS PLAN IS, IS SCARY TO ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO, WHERE IT'S GONNA END UP.

UM, YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY SORRY THAT IT, IT, IT WENT THIS WAY.

I, I DON'T BLAME ANYONE PARTICULAR.

I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS WAS NOT HANDLED IN A WAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAD HOPED.

UM, AND SO I'M REALLY SAD TO KNOW THAT THOSE HOUSES ARE GONNA HAVE TO KIND OF BE SACRIFICED FOR THE ROAD, UM, WITHOUT, WAS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE? WAS THERE ANY LIKE, I, I DON'T KNOW THE, I DON'T KNOW THE BEHIND TALK ABOUT LIKE WHAT WAS DISCUSSED TO DECIDE THAT THIS WAS A FINAL ROAD COUNCIL MEMBER.

I WASN'T IN THE MEETINGS THAT WHEN THESE DECISIONS WERE MADE, I'M NOT TRYING TO GET OUT OF IT.

IT, BUT THE FACT IS THAT TYPICALLY, IF THIS WOULD'VE BEEN JUST A, A DISCUSSION BETWEEN, UH, DEVELOPERS AND, AND, UH, CITY STAFF, WE WOULD STAY WITHIN THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS BE, I MEAN, SORRY, CITY OF KYLE, RIGHT OUT OF CITY LIMITS.

UH, WORKING WITH SAN MARCUS IS DIFFICULT, BEST SOMETIMES ON DIFFERENT ISSUES.

AND THE FACT THAT YOU HAD, UH, THAT GAS EASEMENT THERE KIND OF PUSHED YOU IN THAT DIRECTION TO WHERE YOU HAD TO TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM IT.

CUZ THEY'RE NOT GONNA LET YOU PUT A ROAD ON TOP OF THAT GAS LINE EASEMENT.

AND WE WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT A SMALL GAS LINE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A 20 INCH AND A 30 INCH GAS LINE.

SO WHEN THEY MADE THE DECISION TO, IN, IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE DEVELOPERS, THIS SEEMED LIKE THE MOST LOGICAL THING TO DO.

LIKE, AS YOU SAW IN THE PREVIOUS, UH, TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, THEY WERE JUST GONNA GO STRAIGHT ON THROUGH.

UH, THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A SOLUTION, COULD HAVE BEEN A SOLUTION, BUT, UH, THE DECISIONS WERE MADE BY THE DEVELOPERS AND AND STAFF AT THE TIME.

THIS IS, WOULD BE THE BEST ROUTE AND UNFORTUNATELY INVOLVE THE, UH, RESIDENTS AT WELL RIDGE.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN MORE HOMES, RIGHT, LEON? SO THIS IS THE LEAST AMOUNT OF HOMES THAT THERE WERE AGREEMENTS IN PLACE ALREADY.

FOR EXAMPLE, AL HAD AGREEMENTS ON WHAT THEY WERE GONNA BILL.

SO, AND AS, AS HE WORKED OUT AS THESE AGREEMENTS, THEN, UH, THEY WERE TRYING TO BALANCE THE ACT BETWEEN THE, UH, THE, THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS THAT THEY WANTED TO BILL.

19 ON THE LEFT SIDE, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT SHOWED IT RIGHT THERE BY QUELL RIDGE SUBDIVISION.

HOW WE WERE GONNA BUILD A ROAD AND WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO BUILD THAT ROAD, BECAUSE COULDN'T HAVE, WE COULDN'T, WE HAVE BUILT THAT ROAD THROUGH THEIR DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

BECAUSE TO ME, WHEN I SEE THIS, WHAT I SEE IS A DEVELOPER NOT WANTING TO GIVE UP THEIR HOMES THAT YOU KNOW, THEIR, THEIR PLOTS OR YOU KNOW, THEIR ACCESS.

AND IN RETURN WE FIND AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE WHICH COST OUR RESIDENTS SIX OF THEIR HOMES.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE, UH, 2005 AND 2015, THAT WAS THE PLAN.

AND NOW REMEMBER, I, I SAID THIS IS A LINE ON THE MAP.

IT MEANS THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT HAS TO GO IN ANY CERTAIN LOCATION.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT, UH, L NLR

[01:25:01]

THAT ROAD DOES EXIST TODAY, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY LOGISTICS DRIVE.

IT'S, UH, UH, SOUTH OF, UH, THE, UH, UH, HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP.

SO IN FOLLOWING THE, THE, UH, PLAN OR THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN, WE DID PROVIDE ACCESS TO MY 35 FRONTAGE ROAD AND IT DIDN'T STAY IN THAT SAME POSITION.

AND L IN L R 13 COULD HAVE GONE STRAIGHT AHEAD.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS? JUST CUSTOMER HAZARD QUICK, UH, IN REGARDS TO LAVERDE IS THE, THE IMAGES, AND MAYBE THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE, BUT THEY LOOKED EXTREMELY SIMILAR.

IT'S HARD TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST TIME WE SAW, OR WE'VE RECEIVED AN UPDATE.

AND MAYBE I'M MISSING SOMETHING HERE, BUT WHAT ARE THE MAJOR HURDLES THAT ARE LEFT TO OVERCOME IN ORDER FOR THIS TO PROGRESS MORE THAN JUST A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS EACH EVERY TWO WEEKS, THEY HAVE A LOT OF LITTLE ITEMS THAT THEY NEED TO REALLY WRAP UP.

LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE AROUND 90, 95% AND COMPLETE ON MOST OF 'EM.

THEY JUST NEED TO WRAP, MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO GO AHEAD AND WRAP EVERYTHING UP.

UH, TO ME THE ELECTRICAL ALWAYS IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S RAINING, UH, THAT, THAT DOESN'T HELP EITHER.

SO WE'VE HAD THAT RAIN RECENTLY THAT HASN'T HELPED, AND THEN YOU CAN, WE HAVE SOME PICTURES.

THE UPPER RIGHT YOU CAN SEE THAT, UH, EVERYTHING WAS UNDERWATER.

AND SO THE LANDSCAPING USUALLY IS ONE OF THE LAST THINGS TO GO IN.

AND WHEN IT RAINS LIKE THIS, IT JUST DOESN'T HELP 'EM, UH, GET THE JOB COMPLETED FAST ENOUGH.

AND WE HAVE, UH, WEEKLY MEETINGS WITH THEM TO TALK ABOUT THEIR STATUS.

SO WE'RE STILL HAVING THOSE MEETINGS.

TRY TO ENCOURAGE 'EM TO HURRY UP AND GET THIS OVER WITH.

SO IT'S REALLY JUST LANDSCAPING AND THAT'S, AND A LOT OF LITTLE FINAL THINGS THAT NEED TO BE WRAPPED UP ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, THAT KIND OF THING.

ANYTHING ELSE? NO, SIR.

THANK YOU, LEON.

Moheet, CPA, Director of Finance

City Council voted 6-0 to approve on first reading on 5/2/2023.
]

SECOND READING, APPROVE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY'S APPROVED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022.

2023 BY APPROPRIATING $22,250 FROM THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND BALANCE AND INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF TOTAL EXPENDITURES OF THE PUBLIC DE UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A SPAY NEUTER, VACCINATION VOUCHER PROGRAM.

AND KYLE IS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON APRIL 18TH, 2023.

THIS ITEM WAS, UH, UH, PULLED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CUSTOMER ZUKA.

OH, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

OH, SO ON THIS ONE I WANTED TO ASK IF WE HAD MADE ANY FINAL DETERMINATIONS FOR WHERE THE 22 200 $50 WAS GOING TO BE ALLOCATED, WHETHER IT WAS GOING TO BE ALLOCATED TO EMANCIPATE, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO OUR PALS, UM, PARTNERS HERE THAT ARE LOCAL AND I DO BELIEVE THEY OFFER A GREAT SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY, TO OUR RESIDENTS.

AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF DATA THAT SUPPORTS HOW INVOLVED AND HOW, UH, MUCH THEY HELPED THE SHELTER.

I'VE ALSO PERSONALLY BEEN ON THE ANIMAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND I'VE SEEN THEM PRESENT AND I'VE ASKED THEM TO HELP US WITH PET ADOPTIONS HERE IN THE CITY OF KYLE.

AND THEY HAVE GRACIOUSLY, UM, BEEN THERE AND BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF DOING ALL OF THAT.

SO I WANT THIS TO SEE, I WANT TO SEE IF PALS IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE DIRECT FUNDING AMOUNT AND IF NOT, UM, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THE DOLLARS STAY LOCAL? SO CAN WE GET AN ANSWER FROM STAFF ON WHERE THE, WHERE THOSE FUNDS ARE GOING? GOOD EVENING.

MARION COUNSEL.

[01:30:01]

UH, JEFF BARNETT, CHIEF OF POLICE FOR THE RECORD.

UH, AS FAR AS THE, THE SOURCE OF THE FUNDING, I THINK OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET OVERALL, WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE ANIMAL CONTROL AND CODE ENFORCEMENT DISPATCH AND EVERYTHING, I THINK OUR OVERALL BUDGET CAN, UH, SUSTAIN THIS EXPENSE WITHOUT ASKING FOR ANY BUDGET AMENDMENTS OR ANYTHING, I THINK WE'LL HAVE ENOUGH MONEY WITHIN OUR BUDGET TO, TO ABSORB THIS AS, AS FAR AS WHERE WE'RE GONNA SPEND THE MONEY OR MAKE THOSE, UH, VOUCHERS AVAILABLE TO BE SPENT.

I PROBABLY SHOULD TURN IT OVER TO BRIANNA AND LET HER DISCUSS THAT WITH YOU, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT.

BRIANNA GETTY'S, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES SUPERVISOR, KYLE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE RECORD.

UM, I HAVE BEEN PREPARING ALL THE DOCUMENTATION TO GO EITHER WAY.

HOWEVER YOU GUYS WANT TO GO WITH EVERYTHING.

IF WE WANNA GO BOTH THE MAN'S PET AND PALS, UM, TO GIVE PEOPLE THOSE OPTIONS.

CUZ I KNOW THAT WAS KIND OF THE DISCUSSION IS GOING POTENTIALLY WITH BOTH, BOTH OPTIONS FOR RESIDENTS.

UM, AND LIKE I SAY, DOCUMENTATION WISE AND THE POLICY STUFF, I WAS WORKING ON IT WITH PLANNING ON THAT.

SO, SO IN THE, THE BACKUP MATERIAL YEAH.

IF WE VOTE TO APPROVE, WHERE WILL THE FUNDS GO TO? BOTH OR TO, I'VE GOT, YEAH, I'VE GOT IT AS, AS BOTH.

UM, IF WE'RE, UM, IF THAT'S WHAT, WHERE YOU GUYS WANT TO GO WITH IT.

UM, WOULD, WOULD IT BE LEFT UP TO THE RESIDENCE TO DECIDE WHERE THEY WANT TO GO? DO THEY WANNA GO ALL THE WAY TO AUSTIN TO MEET THESE PEOPLE OR LEAVE, TAKE THEIR DOG OR CAT HERE LOCALLY? WHY WOULD THEY GO TO AUSTIN? LIKE IDEALLY IF THEY, WE WANT TO GIVE THAT LOCALLY, RIGHT? RIGHT.

SO THERE'S, THERE'S HESITANCY FROM PALS WITH A, IT SEEMS, IT SEEMS AS IF THE MONEY'S GOING TO EMANCIPATE.

AND SO I'M JUST WONDERING IN CONCURRENCE WITH CUSTOMER ZUNIGA TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT IT AT A MINIMUM THAT IT'S MADE AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO WISH TO USE IT FOR PALS CUSTOMER FLUSH SCALE.

UM, I THINK IF WE'RE, THIS IS GONNA BE A DEBATE, WHY DON'T WE JUST OPEN IT TO ANY VET LOCAL THAT'S WILLING TO DO A SPAY OR NEUTER.

IF YOU WANNA SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES, UM, AND THE POLICE OR, YOU KNOW, ANIMAL CONTROL IS IN CHARGE OF THAT, WHY DON'T WE JUST GO AHEAD AND EXPAND IT TO EVERYTHING? AND THAT WAY THERE'S NO LIMITATION.

UM, SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE A VET THAT'S WILLING TO ACCEPT A DISCOUNTED VOUCHER, UM, AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO KEEP IT, YOU KNOW, YOUR SAME VET IF THEY'RE WILLING TO DO IT.

UM, AND THAT MIGHT BE AS EASY AS JUST GETTING A LETTER FROM YOUR VET CONFIRMING THAT.

SO THAT WAY WHAT I DON'T WANNA SEE IS, UH, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK AND FORTH AND WE, THIS NONPROFIT'S BETTER THAN THIS NONPROFIT.

WE DO THIS WHEN WE DO THAT.

UM, THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANNA DO BECAUSE THEN I THINK THAT OPENS UP PANDORA'S BOX FOR OTHER SITUATIONS IN OTHER SIT WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO HELP, UH, NONPROFITS OR, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE SERVICES TOO.

AND SO INSTEAD OF EXCLUDING THEM, JUST INCLUDE EVERYBODY AND THEN SEE IF WE CAN HAVE A BIGGER RANGE AND MAYBE HELP SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE PROCESS.

I LOVE THAT IDEA.

CUSTOMER HUNDRED HAER.

I, I, I APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENT.

I JUST THINK WE'RE TRYING TO REINVENT THE WHEEL HERE ON SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MANY TIMES.

WE HAVE TWO OF THE LARGEST SHELTERS OFFERING THEIR ASSISTANCE HERE.

AND, UM, WE KNOW THAT THEY CAN, UM, THAT THEY CAN TAKE IN THE NUMBER OF, UM, VOUCHERS THAT BRIANNA HAS, UH, PUT IN THE BACKUP MATERIAL.

I THINK TWO MEETINGS AGO.

UH, THE PRICE IS, IS WHAT THEY NEED TO BE OKAY WITH.

AND THE ORIGINAL REASON PALS, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BRIANNA WASN'T IN, UH, INCLUDED, IS BECAUSE I THINK THERE WAS A SEVEN OR $8, UH, DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE WERE GOING TO OFFER VERSUS THE PRICE THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE FOR, UM, FOR THE, UH, THE PROCEDURE.

AND THAT'S WHY WE WENT WITH EMANCIPATE.

IF I'M REMEMBERING SOMETHING, THERE WAS SOME PRICE, BUT THEY AGREED TO YEAH.

MEET THAT PRIDE.

SO, I MEAN, WE'RE JUST KICKING THIS CAN FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD IF WE'RE NOW GONNA REOPEN IT TO MORE, TO MORE POSSIBLE VENDORS.

AND, YOU KNOW, FROM, I DON'T KNOW IF FROM A LIABILITY STANDPOINT, IF WE'RE PUTTING OUR NAME ON SOMETHING THAT'S BEING GIVEN AS A FORM OF PAYMENT TO, UH, TO A THIRD PARTY, IF SOMETHING WERE TO GO WRONG WITH THAT THIRD PARTY.

I MEAN, IT IS, I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE REALLY NEED TO ENTERTAIN AT THIS POINT.

YEAH, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT.

UP TO MORE THAN ONE, THEN I, MY QUESTION WOULD BE IS THERE AN ISSUE WITH OPENING IT UP TO, YOU KNOW, LOCAL VETS? HANG ON.

CORRECT.

WE ALL KNOW IT'S THE SAME.

NO, THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING IS WHY THAT YOU GUYS CAME FORWARD AND WANTED TO BE A PART OF IT IS EXACTLY FOR THAT REASON.

WELL, I MEAN, IT HAD BEEN LIKE THAT FROM THE GETGO.

MAYBE WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING IT AT THIS POINT, BUT NOW THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OPENING IT

[01:35:01]

MAY AGAIN, CONVERSATIONS AGAIN.

UM, PET OWNERS ARE CONSUMERS.

THEY HAVE A CHOICE TO GO WHERE THEY FEEL THEY WANT TO GO.

OKAY, BOTTOM LINE.

IF THEY WANNA GO TO NORTH AUSTIN AND DRIVE UP THERE, GO UP THERE, YOU WANNA GO TO SAN ANTONIO, GO THERE.

YOU WANNA GO TO PALS? GO THERE.

JUST GET YOUR DOG AND YOUR CAT NEUTERED.

IN MY OPINION, I DON'T CARE, HONESTLY, WE'RE GOING AROUND AND AROUND ON THIS.

WE GOT A PROBLEM WITH A BUNCH OF STRAY ANIMALS RUNNING AROUND THIS CITY.

LET'S FOCUS ON THAT.

LIKE I SAID, I, IN, IN MY HONEST OPINION, TO ME, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO GETS THE BILL OR WHO GETS THE BUSINESS, LET THESE RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERS THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE, MAKE THAT DECISION WHERE THEY WANT TO SPEND THEIR MONEY.

IF WE'RE GONNA GIVE A COUPON, IF THAT'S WHAT IT IS TO WHATEVER IT'S OPEN TO, I'M ALL FOR THAT BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, ELIMINATING A BIG PROBLEM.

SO TO ME THAT'S, THAT'S HOW I VIEW IT.

SO I'M JUST, I WANT TO ON THE RECORD BE REALLY CLEAR.

A MOTION TO APPROVE CREATES A VOUCHER THAT CAN BE USED FOR EMANCIPATE OR PALS UNDER THE CURRENT ITEM AS IT'S WRITTEN.

ALL RIGHT, MOTION TO APPROVE.

SECOND MOTION BY THE MAYOR, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TIMMS THE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION.

ALL FAVOR SAY AYE.

MOTION CARRIES.

SEVEN NAY.

SIX TO ONE.

(Second Reading) An ordinance of the City of Kyle, Texas, adopting comprehensive plan amendment to amend approximately 26 acres of “Farm Landscape” to ‘Regional Node’ for certain parcels south of the intersection of SH-21 and E FM 150, amend approximately 3 acres to ‘New Settlement District’ from ‘Regional Node’ & amend approximately 18.9 acres from ‘New Settlement District’ to ‘Regional Node’. This area outlined in the map includes 14.5 acres of existing ‘Regional Node’ with a total approximate area of 60 acres; and providing for related matters. ~ Will Atkinson, Director of Planning

Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval.

City Council voted 6-0 to approve on first reading on 5/2/2023.
]

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 18.

SECOND READING, UH, IN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KYLE, TEXAS, ADOPTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO AMEND APPROXIMATELY 26 ACRES OF, UH, OF FARM LANDSCAPE TO REGIONAL NODE FOR CERTAIN PARCELS SOUTH OF INTERSECTION.

UH, HIGHWAY 21 EAST FM ONE 50, AMEND APPROXIMATELY THREE ACRES TO NEW SETTLEMENT DISTRICT FROM REGIONAL NODE AND AMEND APPROXIMATELY 18.9 ACRES FROM NEW SETTLEMENT TO REGIONAL NODE.

THIS AREA, UH, OUTLINED IN THE MAP INCLUDES 14 AND A HALF ACRES FROM EXISTING REGIONAL NODE WITH A TOTAL APPROXIMATE AREA OF 60 ACRES AND PROVIDED FOR RELATED MATTERS, UH, THIS ITEM IS PULLED BY CUSTOMER FLOOR SCALE.

UM, SO THE REASON I PULL THIS ITEM IS TO DISCUSS MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL INTENT INCLUDED IN THIS NODE AND MENTIONED IN THE STAFF MEMORANDUM.

THIS NODE HAS BECOME A TARGET OF CONFUSION FOR ME SINCE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SEEMS TO BE ALWAYS HIGHLIGHTED WHY DISCUSSION REGARDING HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL IS OVERLOOKED.

THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS REGIONAL NODE IS TO CAPTURE COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES.

THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS THROUGH A PLAN DEVELOPMENT, WHICH CURRENTLY DOES NOT EXIST.

WHAT ALSO DOES NOT EXIST IS ACCESS TO WASTEWATER.

ALTHOUGH THE MEMORANDUM STATES THAT THE WATER PROVIDER COUNTY LINE SPECIAL DISTRICT IS PURSUING PLANS FOR WASTEWATER, IT WILL CERTAINLY TAKE MONTHS, IF NOT YEARS TO DEVELOP THAT TREATMENT PLAN.

I MUST ASK, WITHOUT A PLAN DEVELOPMENT OR ACCESS TO WASTEWATER IS AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS CURRENTLY BEING DRAFTED REALLY IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE RESIDENTS.

I WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR, I AM NOT STATING THIS AREA SHOULD NOT BE A NODE.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS ANY SENSE SUCH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT SHOULD BE WELL THOUGHT OUT AND PLANNED MAKING THE BEST DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

I BELIEVE WE SHOULD TABLE THE AGENDA ITEM UNTIL MORE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AND STAFF CAN PROVIDE COUNSEL INFORMATION SHOWING THE EFFECTS OF THE NODE TO INCLUDE TRAFFIC AND SAFETY CONCERNS.

FLORES CAS POINT, THAT REGIONAL NODE DOES INCLUDE ALLOWANCES FOR, UH, HIGHER DENSITY APARTMENTS, ALSO VERTICAL MIXED USE AS WELL, OFFICE AND RETAIL.

POINT IS TAKEN.

IS THERE DISCUSSION? I THINK IF, IF THAT'S THE CASE, UH, IS, IS THERE MORE TO THIS NOTE THAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AS FAR AS LIKE THE WASTEWATER AND THE UTILITIES? I KNOW, I KNOW WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR RETAIL IN THIS AREA, BUT, UM, AGAIN, WE HAVE TO ALSO LOOK AT, OKAY, WHERE'S THE WATER GONNA COME FROM? WHERE'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND WHERE'S THE ROADWAYS? AND, AND I THINK WE, WE SOMETIMES IN THE PAST, IF WE'VE BEEN JUMPING TO IT TO WHERE, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS, LET'S GET THIS DONE.

BUT THEN AGAIN WE COME BACK AND SAY, OH WAIT A MINUTE, WE'VE GOT TO SOMEHOW GET THIS PLACE WATER IN WASTEWATER UTILITIES.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE CONTRACT THAT STATES THAT THIS WOULD BE ALREADY ESTABLISHED WHENEVER WE APPROVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS? UH, MAYOR PROTO TOBI, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT IS TO GET A FOUNDATION IN PLACE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TO HAPPEN.

UM, AS Y'ALL DIRECTED EARLIER THIS MONTH OR EARLIER THIS YEAR, YOU WANTED TO SEE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT DOWN HERE, UM, AT THIS INTERSECTION.

SO YOU COULD HAVE HIGHER INTENSITY RETAIL COMMERCIAL USES.

NOW TO COUNCIL MEMBER

[01:40:01]

ALL OF THOSE ITEMS THAT GENERALLY GO WELL TOGETHER AND HIGHER DENSITY, HIGHER DENSITY USES FOR POINT OF SALE.

NOW, FROM A INFRASTRUCTURE STANDPOINT, UH, WE ARE AWARE THAT COUNTY LINE, UH, SPECIALTY UTILITY DISTRICT IS PURSUING PLANS TO BUILD A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION.

AND THIS IS ALSO IN THEIR, IN THEIR SERVICE AREA FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER.

SO AS A FUNCTION OF ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES IN, WHETHER IF ASSUMING IT HAS THE ZONING THAT THE CITY ALLOWS FOR IT TO, AND Y'ALL AS THE CITY COUNCIL ULTIMATELY APPROVE ZONING DISTRICTS, UM, THEY HAVE TO DESIGN TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE AVAILABLE IN THE AREA AND ALSO, UM, COORDINATE WITH THE APPROPRIATE, UH, WET UTILITY PROVIDER AS WELL.

SO IN EARLY DISCUSSIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR THE SITE THAT'S ALREADY OWN RETAIL SERVICES TO THE NORTH, UM, THEY ARE HAVING TALKS WITH COUNTY LINE SUD AND FROM OUR LAST DISCUSSION POINT WE HAD WITH THEM, THEY WERE PURSUING A COMMERCIAL SEPTIC PERMIT.

NOW IF COUNTY LINE SUD GETS THERE BEFORE THEY SUBMIT PLANS AND START UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR THIS SITE HERE WITH, UH, IF CAROLINE GETS THERE WITH WASTEWATER, UM, THEN THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TIE INTO THAT AS WELL.

I KNOW THAT'S A LONG WINDED EXPLANATION, BUT AS A FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT, THIS IS ONE, ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS YOU TAKE TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT THAT, UM, ONE WOULD WANT TO SEE DOWN THERE.

YEAH, YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THAT CUZ I'VE HAD A PREVIOUS CONVERSATION WITH A FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER ABOUT THE SAME THING CUZ I UNDERSTAND WHERE COUNCILMAN ZUNI GUY IS COMING FROM IN FLORES KALE AND INCLUDE MYSELF ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO EAST KYLE, WHY ARE WE NOT HAVING A BIG PUSH FOR RETAIL AND STUFF LIKE THAT OR, OR DEVELOPMENT OUT THERE.

BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU LOOK OVER HERE ON WEST SIDE, THEY HAVE EVERYTHING IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE ALREADY SET UP IN PLACE.

YOU CAN PLUG AND PLAY.

THEY GOT THE EXTENSION CORDS, THEY GOT THE WATER HOSES, THERE'S YOUR WATER, THERE'S YOUR ELECTRICITY.

AND I KNOW WE'RE TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE EAST OF CAL TO WHEREVER WE CAN LET RESIDENTS KNOW.

WE HEAR YOU, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THOSE EXTENSION CORDS.

WE DON'T HAVE THOSE WATER HOSES YET TO HOOK UP FOR BUSINESSES TO CONNECT TO.

SO NOW WE'RE SAYING THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, UH, IN THAT SAME AREA NEAR 21.

IT'S TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION.

A BIT OF, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DISTANCE OFFHAND, BUT IT IS GONNA BE LOCATED OUT THERE AND THEY ARE PURSUING, SO WE HAVE TWO WITHIN A FIVE MILE RADIUS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ONE OVER THERE IN WATER LEAF.

SO WE HAVE OURS YES, AT WATER LEAF AND COUNTY LINE HAS JURISDICTION OVER THERE BY, BY SH 21 AND ONE 50.

SO, UH, THE STATE, THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION AND T C E Q, THEY WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE APPROPRIATE PERMITS FOR, UM, FOR WASTEWATER.

SO BE ALRIGHT.

YEAH, AND I, I JUST WOULD ADD THAT WHEN IT COMES TO AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THERE'S, IF THE DESIRE IS TO APPROVE RETAIL OUT THERE, YOU HAVE TO AMEND TO A REGIONAL NODE IN ORDER TO BE ALLOWED TO BE PETITIONED FOR ZONING.

SO WHILE IT IS THE CASE THAT WITHIN A REGIONAL NODE THERE ARE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT ZONING CATEGORIES THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE, THOSE ZONING REQUESTS HAVE TO COME TO COUNCIL.

THEREFORE, IF THEY CAME AND SAID WE WANT TO PUT MULTI-FAMILY ON THE HARD CORNER MM-HMM.

BECAUSE IT'S NOW ALLOWED FOR US TO DO SO, IT WOULD BE THE PURVIEW OF THE COUNCIL TO LOOK AND DETERMINE IF THAT IS HIGHEST AND BEST USE, IN WHICH CASE, UH, THE VOTE OF THE COUNCIL WOULD PREVAIL.

MM-HMM , IF WE DO NOT AMEND THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN OR THE, UH, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THEN THE, UH, APPLICANTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PETITION FOR A RETAIL ZONING.

SO IT'S EITHER PUT RE THE REGIONAL NODE IN PLACE TO ALLOW FOR A RETAIL ZONING TO BE PETITIONED OR LEAVE IT, UH, WITHOUT A REGIONAL NODE, IN WHICH CASE THEY CANNOT APPLY FOR A RETAIL ZONING.

AND SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IS THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'RE DOING THIS.

WELL I'M JUST CONFUSED CUZ SOME IT'S, IT'S MOSTLY ALREADY RETAIL SERVICES ON ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER SIDE IS AGRICULTURE AND CAN'T WE, CAN'T WE DO A REZONE FOR AGRICULTURE IF THEY WANTED TO DO RETAIL? NO.

IF THEY, IF THE FOLKS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF ONE 50 WISH TO APPLY FOR RETAIL ZONING, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED STATUTORILY TO EVEN MAKE PETITION TO US FOR RETAIL ZONING UNTIL WE FIRST AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO A REGIONAL NODE TO ALLOW FOR RETAIL ZONING.

WHO PUTS IN THERE, WHAT QUALIFIES IF THEY ARE REQUIRING A REZONING? THAT REZONING ULTIMATE, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WITHIN THE REGIONAL NODES? YES.

SO THEN LEMME ASK YOU THIS FOR, AND I'M, I'M I I'M JUST SAYING I WANT SOME PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

I WANT SOMETHING TO BE PLANNED AND I WANNA SEE IT AND I WANNA HAVE THE SAME RESPECT FOR THE WHOLE CITY AND NOT JUST IN MY AREA.

SO MY QUESTION IS, WHEN WE MAKE THESE NODES,

[01:45:01]

SO EXAMPLE IT SAYS HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, CAN WE PUT TOWN HOMES INSTEAD? CAN WE BE SPECIFIC ON WHAT, UM, HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WE WANNA SEE IN THERE? BECAUSE I'M GONNA TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, 61 ACRES IS GONNA BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO STICK HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND, AND RETAIL.

AND SO MY FEAR IS THAT TRAFFIC IS GONNA BE HORRENDOUS IF I, BECAUSE THEN I KNOW THAT YOU SAY IN THE MEMORANDUM THAT 21 IS PARALLEL TO 35, BUT THAT ONLY RUNS INTO NEAL AND THEN IT GOES EAST.

AND SO TO GET TO BUTTA TO GET TO OTHER AREAS, IT'S REGARDLESS IF IT'S PARALLEL OR NOT, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO IN THROUGH KYLE TO GET THERE.

AND SO MY CONCERN IS FOR THESE PEOPLE TO GET TO 35, IF YOU ARE IN APARTMENTS, IT'S GONNA BE AWFUL.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES KELL, THE CITY, Y'ALL CITY COUNCIL ULTIMATELY DECIDE WHAT ZONING DISTRICTS ARE ALLOWED IN EACH, UM, LAND USE DISTRICT.

SO, UM, THE REGIONAL NODE, I DON'T EVEN, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE LAST TIME IT WAS UPDATED FROM THE LANDISH CHART, BUT IT WAS PROBABLY I BELIEVE 2017.

UM, AND THAT WAS FROM ACTION, UH, BY THE COUNCIL AT THE TIME DOWN TO P AND Z.

SO STAFF AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WORKED TOGETHER AND THEN BROUGHT BACK REVISIONS TO IT AND THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THAT.

UM, BUT ULTIMATELY THE NEXT STEP, IF SOMEONE WERE TO WANT TO REZONE SOMETHING IN HERE, THEY THAT AGAIN, THAT REZONING REQUEST WOULD HAVE TO COME TO Y'ALL.

AND WE UNDERSTAND A STAFF THAT Y'ALL TEND TO HAVE PREFERENCES FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS.

UH, THAT'S, WE UNDERSTAND THAT VERY LOUD AND CLEAR AND WITHIN THE VEST OF OUR ABILITY, WE WILL BRING THAT FORWARD WHERE WE CAN.

AND UM, BUT THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD AS A REQUEST FROM Y'ALL, SO I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.

, MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, IF WE DECIDED COLLECTIVELY THAT WE DO NOT WANT APARTMENTS, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE TOWNHOMES THERE INSTEAD, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN INCLUDE IN THIS NODE INSTEAD OF HAVING IT TO BE APARTMENTS? OR ARE THE APARTMENTS GONNA BE REQUIRED? APARTMENTS ARE NOT REQUIRED IN THE NODE.

THAT'S, THAT'S AT THE DISCRETION OF CITY COUNCIL ULTIMATELY.

BUT SO, BUT IF YOU WANT TO AMEND, UH, THE REGIONAL NODE AT A, AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE OR PROVIDE DIRECTION, THAT'S FINE TO INCLUDE TOWN HOMES, THAT'S AT Y'ALL'S DISCRETION AS A CITY COUNCIL.

THEN MAY I ASK YOU, WHEN YOU PUT IN YOUR MEMORANDUM THAT IT'S GONNA BE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU MEANT? WHAT'S ALREADY IN THE REGIONAL NODE FOR THE ALLOWABLE USES? SO THAT INCLUDES MULTI-FAMILY, THAT INCLUDES VERTICAL MIXED USE, WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF, UH, MULTI-FAMILY THAT HAS GROUND FOUR COMMERCIAL AS WELL.

SO THE, THE WHOLE INTENT IS TO TAKE THOSE HIGH, UH, CLASSIFICATION INTERSECTIONS LIKE, UM, OR EVEN IN A, IN A LINEAR FASHION ALONG I 35 TO ULTIMATELY BUILD UP THOSE NODES TO CREATE HIGHER INTENSITY USES AND EVERYTHING TO CAPTURE THE VALUE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE FROM BOTH IN VALOR AND A SALES TAX PERSPECTIVE.

NOW THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH, UM, ANY DEVELOPMENT ALONG THESE TWO ROADS HAS TO GO THROUGH TECH.TO DO, UH, TIAS, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE ADEQUATE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE ROADS AND ALL THAT TECH DOT DOES FIND THAT IMPORTANT.

UH, THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE PROCESSES THE CITY ALSO REQUIRES FROM A PLANNING PERSPECTIVE, A SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT, UH, I BELIEVE DOWN HERE, EVEN CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR THE EAST F ONE 50 OVERLAY, UH, DISTRICT AND BUILDING PERMITS.

SO, UM, OUT OF CURIOSITY, DID, DID IDEA SCHOOL HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING , BECAUSE IDEAS SCHOOL HAS HORRENDOUS TRAFFIC AND IF THEY WENT THROUGH THAT SAME PROCESS AND YET WE STILL SUFFER WITH THAT TRAFFIC, THEN IT'S NOT REALLY REASSURING THAT IT HAS TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT.

CUZ AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE TRAFFIC IS TOO MUCH FOR THE CITY TO SUSTAIN.

AND I DON'T WANNA SAY NO.

WHAT I WANNA SEE IS SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ME THAT I CAN SAY, YES, THAT IS A GREAT IDEA, IT LOOKS GREAT, LET'S GO AHEAD.

WHAT I WANT IS TO HAVE A RESTAURANT THAT'S HIDDEN BUT IS STILL GONNA BE PROSPEROUS BECAUSE IT'S A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE IT FROM THE ROAD.

I WANT THAT FOR ALL OF KYLE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS AREA, WHICH IS GONNA HAVE HOMES GOING ALL UP AND DOWN 21.

THERE'S NO REASON WHY WE CAN'T MAKE IT MOSTLY RETAIL IN THAT AREA.

IF WE VOTE THIS DOWN, WE CAN'T.

AND, AND ANY SAFETY CONCERNS I HAVE IN THAT AREA.

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.

HUNDRED PERCENT.

WELL, I GUESS THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO, UH, AMEND THE NODE.

SO IT'S NOT JUST HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL THAT'S GONNA CAUSE THE ISSUE WITH TRAFFIC

[01:50:01]

IF WE BRING IN, I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE MINUTE WE SAY WE CAN, WE'RE GONNA CHANGE THIS NODE.

THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA APPLY ARE DEVELOPERS WITH APARTMENTS AND THAT WILL COME BEFORE ANY RETAIL.

YOU, YOU MAY BE CORRECT ON THAT, JUST AS IN EVERY REGIONAL NODE IN THE CITY, THE DEVELOPERS ARE FOLKS WHO OWN LAND MAKE PRESENTATION TO THE COUNCIL FOR MULTI-FAMILY OR MIXED USE REQUESTS.

AND THEN IT IS AT THE PURVIEW OF THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WISH TO ACCEPT THAT.

BUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IF A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WISHES TO OCCUR, SUCH AS A MAJOR GROCER MM-HMM.

, WHICH HAS BEEN THE MAIN REQUEST OF EVERYONE WHO LIVES DOWN ONE 50 MM-HMM , WE CANNOT CONSIDER IT BECAUSE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOESN'T ALLOW FOR RETAIL USE.

WAIT, SO WHEN IS IT WE'RE WORKING ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO THEN MY QUESTION IS, IF THE WATER IS THE WASTEWATER IS NOT SET UP AND IT PROBABLY WON'T BE SET UP FOR MONTHS IF NOT ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, YEARS.

WHAT, WHAT IS THE RUSH TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN ORDER TO GET A DEVELOPMENT THAT CAN'T EVEN DEVELOP WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS OR YEARS? WHY CAN'T WE WAIT FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SETS THE FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

BLESS YOU.

SO AS PART OF THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT UTILITIES OR ACTUALLY ALL UTILITIES, ELECTRIC, UM, WHAT UTILITIES, ROAD NETWORKS AND WHAT HAVE YOU NOW.

SO THIS IS THE IDEA OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS TO HAVE FORWARD THINKING PLANNING SO YOU CAN HAVE THOSE PLANS IN PLACE, THOSE FOUNDATIONS IN PLACE WHEN INFRASTRUCTURE GETS THERE.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEVELOPER ON THE NORTH SIDE IS HAVING COXS AND THEY'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH COUNTY LINE SUD.

THEY KNOW THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THEY DO NEED AND WHAT THEY DON'T NEED TO MAKE THEIR PROJECT SUCCESSFUL FROM A WET UTILITY PERSPECTIVE.

SO WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH PERMITS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN WHETHER OR NOT COUNTY LINE SUD IS ALREADY IN PLACE WITH THEIR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN.

SO WHY ARE WE RUSHING THIS? WHY, WHAT IS THE RUSH? IF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL BE DONE WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR AND WE KNOW THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT CENTER IS NOT GONNA BE HERE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR, WHY ARE WE RUSHING THIS? BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THIS ADOPTED INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

NOPE.

THE COMPREHENSIVE IS SORT OF A LEGAL FRAMEWORK.

COUNCIL MAYOR PARSLEY, JUST TO MAKE SURE, IF WE WERE TO DO THIS AMENDMENT, IT WILL JUST BE MOVED TO PROPOSED REGIONAL NOTE STILL.

IF, IF A DEVELOPER COMES AND WANTS TO DO OUR R ONEC OR R THREE TWO, THEY WILL HAVE TO COME TO COUNCIL TO BE ZONED FOR THAT.

THAT IS CORRECT.

IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR A RECOMMENDATION AND COME TO Y'ALL THE FINAL APPROVAL.

SO IS BASICALLY A REON WE ARE REZONING TO HAVE TO REZONE AGAIN.

OKAY, SO GO AHEAD.

THAT, THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE I M MY TEAM SECOND, UH, 18.

18.

BUT I WANNA MAKE A COMMENT.

UH, ALL RIGHT.

THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 18 MADE BY CUSTOMER, PARTIALLY SECONDED BY THE MAYORS, THEIR DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION CUSTOMER ZK.

UH, YEAH, SO MY COMMENTS ARE JUST THAT I HEAR THIS ALL THE TIME.

WE NEED TO BE THINKING STRATEGICALLY ABOUT THE FUTURE GROWTH OF THIS CITY.

AND I'VE ASKED COUNCIL MEMBERS TO THINK ABOUT THIS AREA AND TO HOW CAN WE LOOK AT WAYS TO GET THAT INFRASTRUCTURE DOWN THERE CUZ WE HAVE LOTS OF POTENTIAL TAX REVENUE THAT WILL, UM, HELP WITH THE PROPERTY TAX BURDENS OUR CITY'S GOING THROUGH.

SO IF YOU WANT TO, AND, AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WAS, BUT THE, UH, BLANCO VISTA WAS, WAS BASICALLY TRADED FOR THIS AREA, WASN'T IT, THROUGH A CITY AGREEMENT.

SO WE NEED TO START TAKING ADVANTAGE OF WHAT WE HAVE AS RESOURCES.

AND TO ME THERE ARE LOTS OF CONNECTIVITY, GOOD MAJOR ROADS DOWN THERE.

UH, WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO, UM, WE, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE HERE.

CUSTOMER PARSLEY.

I CALL THE QUESTION I'M ABOUT TO CALL THE VOTE.

IS THAT OKAY? ALL RIGHT.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED? NAY.

RIGHT, NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 22, PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS TO BE LEVIED AGAINST THE ACCESSIBLE PROPERTY WITHIN THE PORT OF COUNTRY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

MOTION CARRIES THANKS TO ONE.

ALL

[22. Public Hearing to Consider Proposed Assessments to be Levied Against the Assessable Property within the Porter Country Public Improvement District Pursuant to the Provisions of Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code. ~ Stephanie Leibe, Norton Rose Fulbright, City's Bond Counsel]

PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 3 72 OF THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, MS. STEPHANIE LIBE.

MAYOR, SORRY.

WHEN WE, WHEN, UH, ARE WE GONNA PULL 34? WE ARE, I HAD IT UNDER CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE.

JUST MAKING SURE.

COUNTRY BOND ISSUANCE THAT'LL BE CONSIDERED LATER AT TONIGHT'S MEETING.

BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO IT NOW, WE CAN WE'LL GO AND CONTINUE.

I WAS GONNA ELIMINATE ONE.

ALL RIGHT, COUNSEL, BOND COUNSEL FOR THE CITY OF KYLE.

UM, THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS RELATED TO THE PORTER

[01:55:01]

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS, UM, WITHIN THE PORTER COUNTRY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ASSESSMENTS ARE GONNA BE LEVIED IN THE AMOUNT OF $15,953,000 TO SUPPORT THE BOND ISSUANCE.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

UM, AND WE ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM P THREE OF THE PIT ADMINISTRATOR AND THE DEVELOPER HERE.

GONNA MOVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 34 UP PER THE MAYOR PRO TIM'S REQUEST DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING SOUTH LAKE RANCH SUBDIVISION BY REQUESTING A TRAFFIC STOP SIGN STUDY AT TOWN LAKE BOULEVARD AND SAPPHIRE LAKE DRIVE TO ALSO INCLUDE PLAN OF ACTION REGARDING NO PARKING ISSUES ON LAKE WASHINGTON STREET, GRANITE SCHULTS DRIVE, MAYOR PROTEM.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS, ANY OBJECTIONS TO ME OPENING UP THE PUBLIC HEARING? SEEING NONE.

I'M GONNA OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IT'S NOW OPEN.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK? ALL RIGHT.

SEEING NONE, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

WE'RE

[34. Discussion and possible action regarding Southlake Ranch subdivision, by requesting a traffic stop sign study at Town Lake Blvd and Sapphire Lake Drive, to also include plan of action regarding No Parking issues on Lake Washington Street/Granite Shoals Drive. ~ Michael Tobias, Mayor Pro Tem ]

OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND SITUATION IN THE SUBDIVISION FOR MANY YEARS NOW.

UM, I REMEMBER, UH, IF I CAN RECOLLECT STATED BACK TO 2018 WHEN THE HOA CAME TO THE CITY TO PLACE UP, UH, NO PARKING SIGNS, UH, THAT ARE UP AND DOWN, UH, LAKE WASHINGTON IN GRAND SHOALS, UH, BECAUSE OF THE CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE WITH, UM, PARKING, ESPECIALLY DURING SCHOOL HOURS.

TO, TO GIVE YOU A BACK HISTORY ON THAT AND, UH, WHAT HAD BEEN PROBLEMS WERE WHERE YOU HAD STUDENTS, OR RIGHT NOW WHAT THE CURRENT ISSUE IS, YOU HAVE PARENTS THAT ARE, UM, IN IDLE ON THOSE TWO STREETS THAT ARE SUPPOSEDLY BLOCKING NOT ONLY JUST THE TRAFFIC ITSELF, BUT THEY'RE ALSO BLOCKING DRIVEWAYS.

AND THE REASON WHY I'M BRINGING THIS UP IS WE HAVE A LOT OF FRUSTRATED RESIDENTS IN SOUTH LAKE RANCH, BUT WE'VE ALSO HAD ENCOUNTERED, AND, UM, I HAVE BEEN REACHED OUT TO A RESIDENT THAT ACTUALLY HAD VERBAL ALTERCATIONS WITH PARENTS OR JUST PEOPLE PARKING THERE.

WHEN THIS PERSON, UH, ARRIVED TO HER HOUSE, THERE WAS SOMEBODY IN HER DRIVEWAY BECAUSE THERE'S JUST NOWHERE TO PARK TO PICK UP THE STUDENTS.

UH, I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND UH, THEY ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS FAR AS THE LIMITED PARKING THAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR, UH, THEIR PARKING SPACES THAT ARE THERE.

AND I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CHIEF BARNETT AND ALSO, UM, CAPTAIN HERNANDEZ ON THIS ISSUE.

AND SO I'M BRINGING THIS FORWARD, FIRST OF ALL, WITH THE NO PARKING SITUATION FIRST, AND THEN I'LL GO ON TO THE, UH, THE SPEED STUDY OR THE, UH, STOP SIGN STUDY.

BUT I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO THE DICE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IT, THAT IT'S GETTING OUTTA HAND FOR MY RESIDENTS THAT ARE THERE.

THEY'RE WANTING SOME KIND OF RESOLUTION.

UM, THERE HAVE BEEN OPTIONS TO WHERE I'VE, WE'VE HAD MEETINGS WITH ALSO COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES KALE WHEN IT CAME TO THE IDEA SCHOOL SITUATION, SAME THING WHERE YOU HAD PEOPLE PARKING ON THE STREET.

ONE IDEA WOULD BE TO REACH OUT TO THE PARENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, UH, DURING THEIR BACK TO SCHOOL AND INFORM THEM ABOUT, UM, THE PARKING SITUATION AND, AND, UM, SEE HOW WE CAN REDUCE SOME OF THAT PARKING ON THE ENDS.

CUZ AGAIN, THE STREETS ARE VERY NARROW AND THAT'D BE A VERY GOOD, GOOD IDEA TO DO, IS TO MEASURE HOW BIG THE STREETS ARE.

THEY MAY BE 24 FEET, LIKE WE'VE HAD JUST RECENTLY, COUNCILMAN PARSLEY WHERE WE HAD TO POSSIBLY EXPANDING THE STREETS.

BUT IT'S, IT'S, IT'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT.

WHEN WE GOT RESIDENTS THAT ARE BEGINNING TO HAVE ALTERCATIONS WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE STREET, THEY'RE GETTING FRUSTRATED.

THEY CAN'T GET TO THEIR HOUSES BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED SPACE TO GO IN BETWEEN THEIR CARS.

UM, SO I'M COMING TO THE DIAS AND I'M COME WANT TO ASK THE CHIEF AND ALSO OUR CITY ENGINEER OF IDEAS THAT WE CAN FINALLY HELP BRING FORWARD TO FIND SOME KIND OF RESOLUTION.

BECAUSE AGAIN, WE'VE HAD THE HOA COME TO US, THEY WANTED OF THOSE SIGNS THERE.

HE WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, WE HAD SOMEBODY FROM THE SUBDIVISION THAT, UH, REQUESTED THAT WE TAKE DOWN THE SIGNS, UM, FOR THE PARKING FOR REASONS OF, OF CODE ENFORCEMENT AND SO FORTH.

BUT THAT DIDN'T COME TO FLOURISHION.

SO I WANTED TO NUMBER ONE, TALK TO THE DAIS AND ALSO ASK THE CHIEF, UH, ABOUT THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO WHERE WE CAN SOME KIND OF FIND SOME KIND OF RESOLUTION FOR THE RESIDENTS

[02:00:01]

THERE.

IN MY UNDERSTANDING, IT'S JUST NOT IN SOUTH LAKE, IT'S, IT'S IN OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY.

UH, MAYOR COUNCIL JEFF BARNETT, CHIEF OF POLICE FOR THE RECORD.

SO I'M MAYOR PRO TIM.

YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.

THE PROBLEM THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOT ONLY EXISTS IN THE SOUTH LAKE RANCH COMMUNITY, BUT IT DOES EXIST ELSEWHERE IN THE CITY, ESPECIALLY WHERE YOU HAVE EMBEDDED SCHOOLS VERY CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

UM, AGAIN, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS GENERALLY AFTER SCHOOL.

SO IT'S GENERALLY THE AFTERNOON SESSION WHEN PARENTS ARRIVE A BIT EARLY TO PICK UP THEIR CHILDREN FROM THE END OF THE DAY.

AND WHILE THEY'RE WAITING, THE QUEUING SPACE ON THE SCHOOL PROPERTY IS NOT ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE VOLUME OF CARS THAT ARE WAITING TO PICK UP THEIR CHILDREN.

ONCE THE SCHOOL BELL RINGS AND AS THEY'RE IN LINE, UH, THEY, THEY TEND TO BACK UP ON A CITY STREET.

IN THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE, THE MORE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF SOUTH LAKE RANCH, UM, THEY, THEY TAKE UP THE MAIN ENTRYWAY INTO THE COMMUNITY.

AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THE PARENTS WILL TURN INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, GO DOWN A BLOCK OR TWO, DO A U-TURN, AND THEN TAKE THEIR PLACE IN LINE AND THEY PULL OVER.

THEY DON'T PARK AND GET OUT OF THEIR CAR.

SO THEY'RE NOT LEAVING THEIR CAR OR OFFICIALLY PARKING AND ABANDONING THEIR CAR.

THEY'RE SIMPLY WAITING IN LINE FOR THEIR CHILD TO GET OUT OF SCHOOL AND WALK TOWARDS THEIR PARENTS' CAR, GET IN, AND THEN THEY LEAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY PARK SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER THAT THEY FORM A LINE, AND WHEN RESIDENTS IN THAT COMMUNITY RETURN HOME, THEY CANNOT TURN INTO THEIR DRIVEWAY AND THE RESIDENTS CANNOT LEAVE.

EVEN IF THE MOTORIST WANTS TO BE HELPFUL AND MAKE THAT SPACE FOR THEM TO TURN IN OR LEAVE THEIR RESIDENCE, THEY'RE KIND OF SITUATED BUMPER TO BUMPER AND THERE'S REALLY NO ROOM FOR THEM TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.

AND THEN IT TURNS INTO AN ARGUMENT WHERE A RESIDENT THINKS THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT BEING FRIENDLY AND MOVING OUT OF THE WAY, BUT THEY'RE ALSO KIND OF TRAPPED IN THE LINE OF CARS, BUMPER TO BUMPER.

UH, WE WANT, IF WHAT WE HOPE TO DO IS TO WORK WITH BOTH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN A VARIETY OF THE LOCAL SCHOOLS TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITIES AND THEN DEVELOP A PLAN THAT WE WANT TO, TO DEVELOP AS IN TERMS OF ENFORCEMENT.

AND THEN ALSO USE THIS SUMMER AND IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO SCHOOL TO PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, UH, AND OUR OWN COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT AND SPREAD THAT ENFORCEMENT AND CONCERN TO THE COMMUNITY.

NOW I THINK IT'S GONNA TAKE A PARTNERSHIP AND WE'VE WORKED WITH SEVERAL SCHOOLS, SPECIFICALLY LAYMAN AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOUTH LAKE RANCH FOR MANY YEARS, ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO GET MORE CARS ONTO THE PROPERTY.

AND WE'VE DONE THAT AT SEVERAL SCHOOLS.

ONE, WHEN WE GO TALK TO THE PARENTS, ARE THE STUDENTS PREVIOUSLY WHO WERE PARKING IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS AND ASKED WHY YOU WOULD NOT USE SCHOOL PARKING LOTS AND PARKING SPACES OR THE, THE THOROUGHFARE IN THE SCHOOL.

IT'S GENERALLY THOSE THAT LIVE EAST OF THE SCHOOL AND THEY WANT TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND RETURN TO THEIR, THEIR HOME IN THE EASTWARD ARE GOING EASTBOUND FROM THE SCHOOL.

THE ONES THAT WERE PARKING ON THE WEST SIDE OF LAYMAN IN THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY WERE TELLING US WHEN WE WOULD INTERVIEW THEM WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE OR ANY CAUSE UH, FOR CONCERN, WHY WOULD YOU PARK OFF CAMPUS ON THE WEST SIDE OF LAYMAN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD? MOST OF THOSE HAD AFTERNOON SCHOOL JOBS AND THEY WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT IT WOULD TAKE THEM TO EXIT ONTO THE NEARBY STREETS AND ACTUALLY GET TO WORK IF THEY WORKED IN A LOCAL RESTAURANT OR WHATNOT IN THE AFTERNOONS.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF FORCES THAT ARE, THAT ARE IN PLAY HERE.

UH, WE DO WANT TO HELP THOSE RESIDENTS ACCESS THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS SAFELY AND CONVENIENTLY AND WITHOUT CONFLICT.

WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE PUSH THESE PARENTS THAT ARE QUEUING UP OUT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA CUE ON THE MORE ARTERIAL ROADS STILL WAITING ON THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO TURN INTO THE SCHOOL.

SO WE HAVE SOME WORK AHEAD OF US, UH, IN WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO ALLEVIATE THAT.

YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY, UH, THE SAME KIND OF FEEDBACK THAT I'VE GOTTEN.

UM, I'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT TO WHERE IT'S LIKE, DO WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT A NO PARKING ORDINANCE ACROSS THE BOARD? I KNOW THAT WOULD BE VERY DRASTIC.

DRASTIC TIMES WOULD MAKE DRASTIC MEASURES.

UH, ONE OF THE IDEAS WAS HAVING IS THAT SOME OF THE PARENTS WERE TELLING ME THAT THE PEOPLE ARE STILL IGNORING THE SIGNS.

BUT YOU'RE, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IF THESE PEOPLE, IF WE MAKE IT A NO PARKING ALL THE WAY ACROSS, THEN THEY'LL BE ON THE MAIN ARTERY OF BUNTON.

YES, SIR.

YOU KNOW, CUZ I EVEN HAD THE IDEA OF JUST PUTTING RED STRIPE ALL THE WAY DOWN, JUST LIKE IN PLUM CREEK AND JUST MAKE THAT A 24 7, 7 DAYS A WEEK, NO PARKING.

BECAUSE I HAD SOME FEEDBACK FROM SOME RESIDENTS SAYING THAT LET'S CONTRACT A TOWING COMPANY FROM THE CITY OF KYLE TO JUST GO AHEAD AND START TOWING THESE CARS.

OR COME UP WITH STICKERS OR TAGS TO WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE ABLE TO PARK ON THE STREET.

BUT THEN AGAIN, IT'S PUBLIC PARKING AND, AND YOU CAN'T, THOSE ARE IDEAS CAN'T TOW IF THEY'RE IN THE VEHICLE.

YEAH, THOSE ARE IDEAS.

BUT HERE'S THE OTHER THING THAT WOULD FLIP.

WHAT IF THAT'S A RESIDENT THAT HAPPENS

[02:05:01]

TO JUST COME IN FOR OUT OF TOWN FOR THAT DAY OR FOR THE WEEKEND OR JUST THAT DAY, THEIR CAR'S GONNA BE TOWED, THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE MORE PROBLEMS, LIABILITY ISSUES WITH THE TOWING COMPANY, SO FORTH.

THAT'S WHAT I HEARD ON THAT END.

AND THEN ALSO PAINTING RED STRIPE ALL THE WAY DOWN.

NUMBER ONE, THAT'S A FIRE ZONE.

UH, MAYBE THE FIRE CHIEF CAN, CAN CLEAR THAT UP.

BUT IF IT BASICALLY ELIMINATES OR MAKE IT MORE VISUAL FOR EVERYBODY TO SAY BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET, WE NEED TO KEEP IT CLEAR.

BUT IT WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH A 24 7, 7 DAYS A WEEK.

AND ONE RESIDENT SAYS, IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, I SAYS, WELL, YOU DO HAVE A DRIVEWAY, SO KEEP YOUR CAR IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND JUST KEEP IT OFF THE STREET.

I THINK, I THINK THE MAYOR'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT IN THIS SITUATION.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A 45 MINUTE WINDOW, PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT LESS AS THE SCHOOL YEAR GOES ALONG AND THE DRIVER'S STILL IN THE CAR AND, AND WE COULD RIDE 'EM A TICKET OR WE CAN MOVE 'EM ALONG THAT WAY, BUT WE'LL PROBABLY RELOCATE THEM TO YET ANOTHER MORE MAJOR ROADWAY.

THAT'S THE REASON THEY'RE TURNING INTO SOUTH LAKE BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO GET OFF THEIR MAJOR ROADWAY IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOLS.

, UH, PARTICULARLY THAT LAYMAN HIGH SCHOOL IN THIS CASE.

SO WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT 'EM OUT ON LAYMAN AND THEY'RE GONNA STOP IN LAYMAN STILL WAITING TO CUE AND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT.

AND THEY'RE WAITING IN LINE.

IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE PARKING.

IF THEY'RE ON LA IF THEY'RE IN FRONT OF LAYMAN HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY'RE BACKED UP, THEY'RE JUST SIMPLY WAITING THEIR TURN TO, TO MAKE A TURN INTO A PARKING LOT.

, THAT'S GONNA BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE.

IS THERE, CHIEF, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO IN THE EVENT OF VEHICLES QUEUING ALONG A ROADWAY THAT IS NOT DESIRABLE, THAT CAUSES THESE PROBLEMS? LIKE FROM AN ENFORCEMENT STANDPOINT? CUZ YOU COULD EVEN HAVE THE CURB PAINTED RED WITH NO PARKING STRIPES, BUT IF THEY'RE IN THEIR VEHICLE, THEY'RE NOT PARKING, THEY'RE IDLE.

NOT MUCH SHORT OF A LOT OF MANPOWER AT, AT THESE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND TRYING TO MOVE THEM ALONG BECAUSE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHICH CAR IS REALLY JUST TRYING TO GO STRAIGHT.

THEY'RE NOT INTENDING TO TURN INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO ARE THEY REALLY VIOLATING ANYTHING? DO THEY DESERVE A TICKET WHEN ALL THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH TO INTERSTATE 35, FOR EXAMPLE? SO, BUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THE PLAN YOU WISH TO EMPLOY, WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO YES, SIR.

INCREASE THE PARKING ON CAMPUS AND THE QUEUING YES.

MECHANISM.

AND YOU'RE ASKING US FOR PERMISSION TO ENGAGE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S, NOT JUST AT LAYMAN, BUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

YES, SIR.

MAKE THAT, YES, THIS DOES EXIST ELSEWHERE.

I CAN NAME MULTIPLE SCHOOLS WHERE THE SAME ISSUE EXISTS.

HEARD WOULD DEFINITELY BE PART OF NEGLEY AS WELL, EVEN, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT.

BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE TO QUEUE AT NEGLEY.

AND THAT'S IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND SO, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S TRICKY.

SO YOU WANNA MAKE A A, A MOTION TO DIRECT PD TO ENGAGE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SURE.

UH, MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION REFERENCING THE NO PARKING TO DIRECT THE KYLE POLICE, UH, DEPARTMENT TO WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ON IMPLEMENTING A PLAN OF ACTION FOR, UM, PARKING, UM, TO ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING IN THE ON CAMPUS.

SECOND, SECOND.

SECOND.

MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TIM.

SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER ZUNIGA.

IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES SEVEN TO ZERO.

THANK YOU, CHIEF.

A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY THAT LIVE ON THE CORNER.

ON THE SECOND PART OF THIS AGENDA ITEM, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER PARSLEY AND I, UM, EARLIER THIS, THIS, UM, THIS YEAR WE WENT ON A TOUR OF KYLE AND WE WERE KIND OF LOOKING AT SOME OF THE ROADS AND SOME OF THE STREETS.

AND WE HAPPENED TO GO INTO THE SOUTH LAKE RANCH NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE RAN ACROSS A RESIDENT THERE, UH, MS. HELE THERE AND, UM, BROUGHT US TO THE ATTENTION OF A CORNER OF A STREET, CORNER OF TOWN LAKE, UM, IT'S TOWN, LAKE BOULEVARD AND SAPPHIRE LAKE.

CUZ AS SOON AS PEOPLE TURN OFF GULF FORTH, THEY WOULD GO AHEAD AND ACCELERATE AND GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH UP THE RESIDENCE.

UM, THEIR CONCERN IS THAT THEY HAVE A STOPLIGHT AT SAPPHIRE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE THE PICTURES UP OR NOT.

THINK I TOOK IN SOME, I DON'T KNOW, JENNIFER, DO YOU REMEMBER IF I HAD THOSE PHOTOS OR TO KIND OF JUST GIVE A VISUAL OF WHAT IT WAS? BUT ANYWAY, UM, IT'S ON A CORNER AT A CORNER LOT WHERE YOU HAVE SAPPHIRE, WHICH HAS A STOP LIGHT, BUT THERE'S A, A STRAIGHT SHOT THAT GOES ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH ON TOWN LAKE.

SO THE CONCERN THERE, AND, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER PARSLEY AND I LOOKED AT IT, IS THAT, UM, WE WANNA SEE IF THAT CORNER AREA WOULD QUALIFY FOR SOME FORM OF STOP LI STOP SIGN OR, UM, SOME KIND OF SIGN THAT WOULD SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN.

BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM SCHOOL OR COMING FROM WORK, UM, THE, UH, THE RATE OF TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING THROUGH THERE IS, UH, CONCERNING

[02:10:01]

SO, UM, WANTED TO GET, UH, COUNCIL'S, UM, IDEAS AND TALK TO, UH, OUR CITY ENGINEERS, IF YOU KIND OF KNOW WHERE THAT AREA IS.

IF I WONDER IF A STREET, UH, LET'S JUST, YEAH, JUST LOOK.

IF YOU CAN JUST GO TO, UM, THERE HE GOES.

TOWN, LAKE, BOULEVARD AND SAPPHIRE, RIGHT THERE, YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE FROM TOWN LAKE BOULEVARD.

THERE IT IS, RIGHT THERE ON THAT CORNER.

EXACTLY FROM THERE.

TRAFFIC JUST SPEEDS ALL UP AND DOWN THERE.

IT'S WHAT I'M HEARING FROM THE RESIDENCE.

AND THERE'S NO STOP SIGN OR ANY KIND OF INDICATIONS OF ANY STOPPAGE BETWEEN THERE.

JUST WANTED TO GET YOUR, UH, OPINION ON THAT.

THERE WE GO.

MAYOR PRO TIM.

THE ENGINEERS LOOK AT THESE PARTICULAR INTERSECTIONS.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF FACTORS THEY LOOK AT.

THEY LOOKED AT THE NUMBER OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.

IF THERE'S BEEN FIVE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF TURNING MOVEMENTS AT THAT INTERSECTION OVER THE LAST, UH, YEAR, THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEETS ONE OF THE WARRANTS.

ALSO, THERE'S TRAFFIC COUNTS, UH, 300 VEHICLES PER FOR AN EIGHT HOUR PERIOD, UH, 200 IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT.

ACCIDENTS, VEHICLE COUNTS, BUT IS THERE A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY IN THE AREA? IS IT NEAR SCHOOL? IS IT A BLIND CORNER? PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM SCENE AROUND THE CORNER.

THAT'S WHAT THEY LOOK, THAT'S WHAT WE LOOK FOR AS TRAFFIC ENGINEERS.

THE, UH, UH, IN THIS PARTICULAR SECTION, WE JUST KINDA LOOKED AT IT VERY QUICKLY.

I DID ASK OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER TO LOOK AT, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE DON'T BELIEVE IT MEETS ANY TRAFFIC WARRANTS TO, TO, UH, JUSTIFY THE INSTALLATION OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

WE CAN LOOK AT A, AT THE SPEEDS IN THAT AREA AND SEE WHAT THAT WE CAN FIND ON THAT.

SO WE CAN DO A, A STUDY OF SOME SOURCE TO SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH.

BUT RIGHT NOW, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT IT MEETS ANY TRAFFIC WARRANTS FOR INSTALLING A MULTI-WAY TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

HOW MANY STOP SIGNS AT THAT POINT? OKAY.

AND, AND AGAIN, MAYOR PRO TE UH, THERE'S A TRAFFIC ENGINEERS WILL ALWAYS TELL YOU WE DON'T INSTALL, UH, STOP SIGNS TO SLOW SPEED SPEEDERS DOWN.

IT'S NOT THE REASON FOR STOP ADDING STOP SIGNS.

UH, THERE'S A WHOLE, UH, ACTUALLY WE HAVE A SECTION ON OUR SAID ENGINEER'S WEBSITE.

I DUNNO IF ANYBODY READS IT, BUT WE DO HAVE A SECTION IN THERE THAT TALKS ABOUT STOP SIGNS AND WHEN YOU IN INSTALL 'EM, WHEN YOU SHOULD INSTALL 'EM.

AND THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU HAVE WHEN YOU INSTALL STOP SIGNS THAT ARE NOT REALLY MEETING ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC WARRANTS.

UH, WELL, FROM WHAT I'M HEARING FROM MY RESIDENTS IS THAT IT'S, IT WOULD, IT WOULD BE, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SEE ONE, TO STICK, TO TRY TO GET A STUDY JUST SO THAT INTERSECTION, BECAUSE, UH, I'VE DRIVEN DOWN THAT BEFORE AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THOSE RESIDENTS ARE TALKING ABOUT.

AND SO, EVEN IF IT MAY NOT WARRANT, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAFFIC FLOW, BUT ALSO THE CONTROL ITSELF.

AND IF IT MEANS THAT WE CAN GET SOMETHING THERE TO SLOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN, UH, WE, WE GOTTA AT LEAST TRY.

SO WITH THAT, COULD I, I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND REQUEST THE CITY TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY FOR A STOP SIGN AT THE CORNER OF TOWN LAKE BOULEVARD AND SAPPHIRE LAKE SECOND.

THE MOTION IS BY MAYOR PRO 10.

THE SECOND IS BY COUNCIL MEMBER PARSLEY, THAT WE DIRECT STAFF TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STUDY FOR A STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION OF SAPPHIRE AND TOWN SAPPHIRE AND TOWN LAKE IS THE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION CUSTOMER FLOOR SCALE.

UM, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE IT'S NOT GONNA BE LIKE AN EXPENSIVE STUDY.

UM, I KNOW WE'VE HAD, UM, I HAD HAD CHIEF BARNETT DO A STUDY.

THEY PUT UP THIS LITTLE CAMERA THAT MONITORS THE TRAFFIC, AND THEN THEY HAVE A GOOD READING BACK FROM THAT.

AND IT WAS MORE EFFICIENT, AND I FELT LIKE IT WAS A LITTLE BIT QUICKER.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAD THAT NEEDS TO BE REQUESTED FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS OPPOSED TO, TO LEON.

UM, AND, AND, YEAH, SO, SO TWO THINGS.

ONE IS GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2016, WE IMPLEMENTED A, UH, STOP SIGN POLICY THAT'S PROBABLY STILL IN PLACE.

I DOUBT IT'S EVER BEEN REPEALED.

YEP, THERE IT IS.

AND WHAT IT SAYS IS THAT THE, IF WE, UH, IF SOMEONE REQUESTS A STOP SIGN, IT GOES TO A COMMITTEE, AND THE COMMITTEE IS LEON, UH, CHIEF AND HARPER.

SO THE STUDY IS CONDUCTED BY THE THREE OF THEM.

HOWEVER, UH, I JUST WOULD COMMENT THAT LEON'S ALREADY MADE THE PROCLAMATION THAT HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT IT MEETS WARRANT.

SO HE'S, THEY'VE ALREADY LOOKED AT IT.

SO IF WE ARE DIRECTING THEM TO GO LOOK AT IT, THEY'RE GONNA COME BACK AND HE'S GONNA SAY EXACTLY WHAT HE JUST SAID AGAIN, OKAY.

TO US.

SO THE QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT, AND IN THE POLICY IT SAYS, IF THEY DON'T MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, A STOP SIGN DOESN'T GO IN.

SO IN ORDER TO GET A STOP SIGN THERE, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO BRING BACK AN ORDINANCE IN, UH, TO, TO, FOR A STOP SIGN THERE AS OPPOSED TO A STUDY.

IF, UH, THE THREE OF US DECIDE THAT, UH, IT DOESN'T MEET THE WARRANTS FOR, UH, OR THE REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION OF A MULTI-WAY STOP, IT IS APPEALABLE TO THE CITY MANAGER AND THAT'S WHERE IT STOPS.

UNLESS I'M SAYING ANYTHING WRONG THERE.

LEON, DOES THAT ALL SOUND ABOUT LIKE HOW IT WOULD GO DOWN PRETTY CLOSE MERIT.

THE, IT IS APPEALABLE

[02:15:01]

AND THAT WAS DONE VERY INTENTIONALLY BECAUSE WE HAD A PROLIFERATION OF STOP SIGNS BEING ADDED IN INTERSECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHERE THE MAIN DESIRE WAS TO SLOW SPEEDING.

AND EVERY ENGINEER IN THE COUNTRY WILL TELL YOU THAT'S NOT THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO HANDLE SPEEDING.

THERE'S A PHOTO RIGHT THERE.

UH, CUSTOMER FLOOR SCALE, UM, IS THERE'S, I KNOW THERE'S WAYS TO DETER SPEEDING.

LIKE, YOU COULD HAVE LIKE THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN THAT FLASHES, LIKE, WE HAVE 'EM ALL THE TIME WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK, AND IT'LL SAY LIKE, SPEED LIMIT IS 45 AND THEN IT'LL FLASH, LIKE IF YOU'RE GOING 50.

AND SO THAT FOR ME, ALWAYS, IT'S NOT GONNA DETER EVERYBODY, BUT IT, IT DEFINITELY DETERS ME AND IT ALSO HELPS THE OFFICERS IN THE EVENT THAT YOU DRIVE BY THERE AND THEY COULD JUST SEE THAT YOU'RE SPEEDING.

SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED SOME TYPE OF, LIKE, FLASHING LIGHT OR, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN DIRECT STAFF TO, UM, MAYBE LOOK FOR WAYS TO DECREASE THE SPEED, UM, IN THIS INTERSECTION IN PARTICULAR.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS CAN BRING BACK OPTIONS.

WE CAN BRING BACK OPTIONS.

SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND AMEND MY MOTION.

I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION FOR CITY STAFF TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY IN THAT INTERSECTION.

WHETHER IT'S TO BRING BACK A SPEEDING, UH, SPEEDING SIGN OR, OR SO FORTH ON THAT END.

OR JUST TO DIRECT STAFF TO BRING BACK, UH, ALTERNATIVE, UM, UM, IDEAS TO HELP REDUCE TRAFFIC, UH, SPEED AT THAT INTERSECTION OF SAPPHIRE ANDT SECOND.

THE MOTION IS MADE TO AMEND THE MOTION, UM, TO, UH, DIRECT STAFF TO BRING BACK RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW TO REDUCE, UH, UH, TRAFFIC AT THE INTERSECTION OF SAPPHIRE LAKE AND TOWN LAKE, UH, UH, BOULEVARD.

THAT MOTION WAS SECONDED BY, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES KALE.

UH, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

MOTION CARRIES SEVEN TO ZERO.

THAT WAS A MOTION TO AMEND.

SO NOW THE ORIGINAL MOTION IS AMENDED, AND I WILL CALL ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AGENDA ITEMS NUMBER 23 AND 24, COLLECTIVELY, THE PORTER COUNTRY ITEMS.

ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES FIVE TO ZERO.

I JUST WANTED TO ASK HOW THE BONDS ARE DOING ON THE MARKET.

HOW DID THAT, HOW DID THAT MARK, WHAT WAS THE BOND SALE ON THE MARKET? HOW, HOW DID THE BONDS DO ON THE MARKET? I KNOW THE DEBT CEILING DIDN'T GO UP OR SO THROUGH IT ALL, I WILL JUST TAKE YOU TO THE, UH, THIRD PAGE.

UM, THE BONDS WENT OUT TO THE MARKET THIS MORNING.

UM, THE MARKET WAS, THEY WERE WELL RECEIVED.

IF YOU LOOK TO THAT THIRD PAGE, UM, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE BONDS WERE BROKEN INTO OVER ON THE FAR RIGHT HAND INTO THREE TERM BONDS.

UH, FOUR AND SEVEN, EIGHTS, FIVE AND THREE QUARTERS, AND 6%.

UH, FRANKLIN FUNDS, MUTUAL FUNDS PUT AN ORDER

[02:20:01]

IN FOR ALL OF THE BONDS.

GOLDMAN SACHS PUT AN ORDER IN FOR ALL OF THE BONDS, AND NAVINE PUT AN ORDER IN FOR ALL OF THE 2043 BONDS.

AND THE 2053 BONDS, THE AVERAGE COUPON, THE AVERAGE INTEREST RATE ON THIS LOAN WENT AT 5.99%.

UH, ALL OF THEM WERE SOLD.

SO I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.

IT DOES.

I JUST WANTED TO GET FINANCIALS MM-HMM.

ON HOW THEY WERE PERFORMING, OR HOW MUCH WAS SOLD OFF.

THIS, THIS IS GREAT.

SO, AND THIS IS PUT TOGETHER BY FMS. I JUST DON'T WANT TO TAKE THEIR, THEIR THUNDER.

ROBERT RIVERA, THANK YOU FOR THIS.

YES, YOU'RE WELCOME.

IT, IT WOULD SAY DEFINITELY A TEAM EFFORT.

UH, THE CITY OF KYLE IS TREMENDOUSLY, UH, THOUGHT AFTER, UH, ACROSS THE COUNTRY BY, UH, THE INVESTORS WHO ARE, ARE VERY, UM, JUST EXCITED TO BE HERE.

UH, YOU'LL HAVE ASSEMBLED A TREMENDOUS TEAM.

UM, YOU KNOW, JUST FROM CITY ATTORNEY, YOUR BOND COUNCIL, YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, P THREE, UM, JUST, UM, YOU, YOU GUYS ARE, ARE DOING GREAT, BUT P THREE IS ALSO DOING VERY WELL.

YOU, YOU KNOW, WITH, UH, KYLE AND ROB AND, AND, UM, AND ZACH.

SO YOU GUYS ARE, ARE DOING GREAT AND MAX AS WELL.

SO ANYWAY, P THREE AND THE WHOLE, UH, TEAM IS DOING REALLY GOOD.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

UH, NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 25, FIRST AND FINAL READING, CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUE OF CITY OF KYLE TAX INCREMENT REVENUE BONDS SERIES 2023, UH, TAX INCREMENT REVENUE ZONE NUMBER TWO, MS. LIGHTY.

[25. (First and Final Reading) Consideration and Approval of an Ordinance Authorizing the Issuance of “City of Kyle, Texas Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Series 2023 (Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Two, City of Kyle)”; Providing the Terms and Conditions of Such Bonds and Resolving Other Matters Incident and Relating to the Issuance, Payment, Security and Delivery of Such Bonds; Enacting Provisions Incident and Related to the Purposes and Subject of This Ordinance; Authorizing the Execution of Any Necessary Engagement Agreement with the City’s Financial Advisors; and Providing for an Effective Date. ~ Stephanie Leibe, Norton Rose Fulbright, City's Bond Counsel]

YEP.

STEPHANIE LI, DON'T ROSE FULBRIGHT BOND COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF KYLE.

SO IN ADDITION TO PRICING THE PORTER COUNTRY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BONDS TODAY, WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO PRICE THE TAX INCREMENT BONDS FOR TOURISTS, UH, NUMBER TWO IN THE CITY OF KYLE.

AND SO THOSE BONDS WERE PRICED WITH A PRINCIPLE AMOUNT OF $8,265,000.

AGAIN, MARK MCCLINNEY WITH SAMCO CAPITAL IS AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE A FINANCIAL, UH, PRESENTATION TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW HOW THE BONDS DID IN TODAY'S MARKET.

BUT THIS AMOUNT OF BONDS, THE ISSUANCE AT THE 8 MILLION 2 65 FIGURE WILL ALLOW FOR PROJECT FUND DEPOSIT IN THE AMOUNT OF 8 MILLION FOR THE RETAIL ROADS PROJECT WITHIN TOURISTS.

NUMBER TWO, AND ALSO PAY FOR ASSOCIATED COST OF ISSUANCE.

AND THERE'S ALSO BOND INSURANCE AND A RESERVE FUND, UH, SURETY POLICY THAT WILL BE PURCHASED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS BOND ISSUANCE.

HAPPY TO GIVE MARK THE MICROPHONE FOR THE PRESENTATION AND, OR ANY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MAY HAVE.

WELL, WE'LL JUST DO SAME QUESTION AS COUNCILMAN ZUNIGA FROM THE ONE BEFORE.

HOW'D THEY DO? UM, THESE BONDS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE PIT BONDS.

PIT IS A NEW DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS BASED ON THEIR TOTAL VALUES WITHIN THE TURS.

UH, WE GOT A PRELIMINARY NUMBERS THAT SHOWED, SHOWED PRELIMINARY VALUES INCREASE OF 45%.

UH, ONCE THESE BONDS HIT THE MARKET, THEY WENT VERY WELL.

WE SENT OUT AN EMAIL EARLIER, OR, OR JERRY SENT AN EMAIL OUT LATE LAST WEEK ABOUT HOW DIFFERENT PRICINGS, UH, THE BANKING CRISIS WITH SILICON VALLEY BANK HAS CHANGED THE WAY PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO BUY SOME BONDS RIGHT NOW.

AND SO WE SOLD THESE BONDS AT A PRE, I'M SORRY, AT A DISCOUNT.

SO WE ISSUED MORE BONDS AT A LOWER TOTAL PRICE TO THE TURS MM-HMM.

SO WE PUT MORE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY, 8 MILLION.

OUR ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS ARE LESS AND OUR TOTAL REPAYMENT IS LESS.

AND IT WAS JUST A FUNCTION OF HOW THE MARKET IS WANTING BONDS.

NOW, UH, THE OVERALL INTEREST RATE FOR THE TURS OVER THE LIFE OF THE BONDS, AND THIS IS SOMETHING I WANT TO POINT OUT VERSUS THE P WAS 4.55%.

SO REMEMBER, REMEMBER I JUST SAID FOUR, UH, 5 99, REALLY A 6% RATE FOR THE BID.

THESE THAT ARE PAYABLE BY OUR SHARE OF THE TURS, HALF OF THE CITY'S TAXES GO TO THIS WITHIN THE TURS.

UM, WERE DRIVEN DOWN IN INTEREST RATE TO 4.55%.

UH, THEY WERE VERY WELL ACCEPTED IN THE MARKET.

AND I'D SAY A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS THAT ROBERT RIVERA SAID ABOUT BONDS WITHIN THE CITY OF KYLE.

THEY UNDERSTAND YOUR FINANCES, THEY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE GROWTH WISE.

THESE ARE REAL DEMANDED BONDS.

UM, YOUR STAFF AND, UH, PERVEZ AND JERRY ARE WELL RESPECTED IN THE INDUSTRY.

THEY KNOW THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING, MANAGING THE FINANCES WITHIN THE CITY.

THANK YOU, MARK.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND MOTION BY MAYOR, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES KALE.

IS THEIR DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION.

MAYOR PRO TIM.

THAT YOU SEE? I KNOW MARKET GOES UP AND DOWN THE, THE MARKET DOES DOES GO UP AND DOWN.

APPRECIATE IT.

REAL QUICK, SO WHAT IS THE REASON WHY THE BONDS ARE SELLING THE WAY THEY ARE? AND DO WE SEE ANY CHANGES? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S GOING GOOD.

DO WE SEE ANY CONCERNS

[02:25:01]

UH, THERE IS STILL FEAR OF INFLATION, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WITH INFLATION IS STARTING TO TURN, LAST WEEK'S REPORT CAME IN SUB 5% FOR THE FIRST TIME IN, I THINK OVER 18 MONTHS THAT THE INFLATION REPORT WAS BELOW 5%.

INTEREST RATES GO UP TO SLOW DOWN INFLATION.

, THE MARKET SAYS, I'M GONNA GET PAID BACK LESS.

MY VALUE OF MY DOLLAR IS GONNA BE LESS.

SO THEY DRIVE UP THE INTEREST RATES SO THEY GET MORE.

WELL, WHEN THAT STARTS TO TURN, INTEREST RATES START GOING DOWN.

UH, BETWEEN THAT AND THE CHANGE IN THE BANKS, YOU KNOW, THOSE BANKS FAILED BECAUSE THEY WERE BUYING GOVERNMENT BONDS.

INTEREST RATES WERE GOING UP.

SO THE VALUE OF THOSE GOVERNMENT BONDS WERE GOING DOWN.

AND THEN THE, THE DEPOSITORS WERE DEMANDING THEIR MONEY BACK.

SO THEIR CAPITAL WAS SHRINKING.

THOSE ARE BANKS THAT TYPICALLY BUY MUNICIPAL BONDS.

THEY MOVED OUT, THEY'RE NOT BUYING BONDS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT FIXED INCOME PRODUCTS RIGHT NOW.

SO IT'S GOTTA BUY AND FIND OTHER BUYERS THAT COME IN TO REPLACE THEM.

AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN, WE WERE, BANKS WERE WANTING HIGH COUPON BONDS, BUYING 'EM AT A PREMIUM.

THESE NEW INVESTORS SAY, WE DON'T WANT THAT.

WE WANNA BUY 'EM AT A DISCOUNT.

NOW, THE NET RESULT IS A BETTER RATE FOR US AS THE CITY, CUZ THERE WAS MORE DEMAND FOR THOSE THAN THOSE PREMIUM BONDS.

THAT'S WHY THE MONTH, THE ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS ARE LESS.

THAT WAY, SINCE WE'RE WE'RE UTILIZING THIS AND WE'RE DEALING, DEALING WITH BONDS, AT LEAST WE CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE THE MARKET IS TO WHERE WE CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE AS A CITY KNOWING THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S, WE'RE WE'RE BEING TAKEN CARE OF ON THAT.

WHEN, WHEN WE SOLD OUR GEO BONDS IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, THE, THE FIRST SET OF ROAD BONDS YEP.

ALL OF THOSE BONDS SOLD AT A PREMIUM.

THERE'S SO MANY MORE INVESTORS LOOKING FOR PREMIUM BONDS THEN THAN NOW.

SO WE'RE JUST TALKING FOUR MONTH DIFFERENCE AND IT'S JUST COMPLETELY CHANGED.

THREE MONTHS FROM NOW, FOUR MONTHS FROM NOW, WE MAY BE IN THE SAME BOAT.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IF MM-HMM.

JUNE 1ST COMES AND, AND BANKRUPTCY HITS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN.

SO, I MEAN, THAT, THAT, THERE'S, THERE, THERE IS ISSUES THERE.

AND THAT'S WHAT, UH, COUNCIL ZUNI GOT BROUGHT UP EARLIER.

NO, THAT WAS, THAT WAS KIND OF MY CON THAT WAS LIKE, WE HAVE DIFFERENCES WE FIGURED OUT.

I FOLLOW THE NEWS, I WATCH SHUT DOWN.

AND SO A LOT OF WHAT GOING UP THERE WITH THE INTEREST RATES DO AFFECT US AS A CITY, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN WE JUST PASSED THIS ROAD BOND, WOULD DIRECTLY AFFECT YOU AND YOUR TAXPAYERS.

UH, I'M GLAD THIS IS DONE IN, UM, MID-MAY.

AS OPPOSED TO THE FIRST WEEK IN JUNE.

FIRST WEEK IN JUNE, WHILE THEY'RE STILL NEGOTIATING IN DC ABOUT MM-HMM.

, WHO'S GONNA PAY WHAT? I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE SELLING BONDS AT THE SAME TIME.

UH, AND PAGE, UH, THIS IS THE BENCHMARK MOMENT THAT BEGINS THE, UM, SERIES OF EVENTS THAT LEADS TO LAND DEDICATION, UH, TO THE CITY OF KYLE.

CORRECT? CORRECT.

UH, WHEN WE RECEIVE THE, THE BOND, THE BOND PROCEEDS ACTUALLY IN HAND, THAT WILL BE THE NEXT STEP THAT OKAY.

CAN YOU SEND, UH, UH, MEMO TO THE CITY COUNCIL OUTLINING, UH, WHAT THE TERMS OF THE RETAIL ROADS AGREEMENT ARE AS IT RELATES TO WHERE WE ARE IN TIME AND WHEN WE CAN EXPECT CONVEYANCE OF LAND? I HAVE A SCHEDULE PREPARED, SO I CAN JUST SHARE THAT.

PLEASE DO.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I JUST WANTED TO, COULD, CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON TURS FOUR LATER? LIKE, I, I KNOW THERE MIGHT NOT BE A LOT GOING ON WITH IT, BUT, UM, ON TURS FOUR, THAT'S THE NEWEST ONE ON LIMESTONE CREEK.

RIGHT? UM, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH DEVELOPMENT? IT'S NOT ONLY, I GUESS LIKE ON THE, ON ON Y'ALL SIDE OF IT.

YEAH, WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL CUZ IT'S POSTED.

I WAS ASKING ON, ON BRING THAT BACK RIGHT.

FOR ANOTHER COUNCIL MEETING.

YEAH, SURE.

BUT THE LIMESTONE CREEK PROJECT IS THE FINANCIALS OF WORKING, WORKING ITS WAY THROUGH IT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL FAVOR SAY AYE.

MOTION PASSES.

SEVEN TO ZERO.

]

I KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD MANY PRESENTATIONS BY JEFF BARTON AND HIS ROLE AS DEVELOPER FOR THIS PROPOSED PROJECT.

NEXT UP, UH, TWO ITEMS RELATED TO THE WORKPLACE AGENDA.

ITEMS 26 AND 27, UH, CONSIDER, UH, CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF KYLE, TEXAS, ACCEPTING THE PETITION FOR THE CREATION OF THE WORD PLACE PIT, UH, SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING, UH, AND AGENDA, ET CETERA.

AND AGENDA ITEM 27, CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL, UH, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER OF THE WORD PLACE.

PID.

UH, MS LIGHTY MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER STEPHANIE LIBE WITH NORTON ROSE FULBRIGHT.

THESE TWO ACTION ITEMS ARE RELATED TO THE WORD PLACE PIT.

UH,

[02:30:01]

UM, ON THE DEAL ITSELF, WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS BOTH, UH, WITH COUNSEL, WITH THE DEVELOPER, AND WITH STAFF ON DIFFERENT WAYS TO MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD.

THE PROPOSAL FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT IS SOMEWHAT ATYPICAL AS IT RELATES TO THE TYPE OF BID THAT'S BEING PROPOSED BECAUSE IT'S PR PRIMARILY A COMMERCIAL BID.

AND SO FOR SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL PITS THAT HAVE COME FORWARD, THE CITY'S BEEN A POSITION IN WHICH THE PIT BONDS COULD BE ISSUED ON A CONSTRUCTION BASIS SO THAT THE BOND PROCEEDS WERE ACTUALLY USED TO FUND CONSTRUCTION OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

WHAT'S CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATED FOR THE WORD PLACE PIT IS A REIMBURSEMENT PIT IN WHICH THE DEVELOPER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING IN PLACE ALL OF THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND THEN THE PIT BONDS WOULD BE ISSUED ON THE BACK END.

SO AFTER THE, AFTER THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE IN PLACE, WE'D COME BACK WITH A, UH, WITH THE BOND ISSUANCE.

SO IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE WOULD START THE PROCESS AS WE NORMALLY DO FOR THE CREATION OF THE PIT.

UM, AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME TO DO THE ASSESSMENT LEVY, LIKE TONIGHT FOR PORTER COUNTRY, WE HAVE THE ASSESSMENT LEVY AND THE BOND ISSUANCE FOR WORD PLACE PIT.

IT'S CONTEMPLATED THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE ASSESSMENT LEVY AND A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WOULD BE ENTERED INTO WITH THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER.

AND THEN AGAIN, AFTER INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE, THEN WE'D COME BACK WITH THE BOND ISSUANCE.

SO THE RESOLUTION THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THE FIRST STEP IN OUR PROCESS TO CREATE THIS PIT.

IT'S A RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT THE PETITION THAT'S BEEN SIGNED BY MAJORITY OF LANDOWNERS WITHIN THE PIT REQUESTING ITS CREATION.

WE'RE CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JUNE 20TH, 2023, AT WHICH TIME COUNSEL WILL BE ASKED TO CONSIDER THE ACTUAL CREATION OF THE BID.

IT'S ALSO CONTEMPLATED THAT AT THAT SAME JUNE 20TH MEETING, COUNSEL WOULD BE ASKED TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WOULD GOVERN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY.

SO I'LL STOP TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND THEN I'LL ALSO OFFER UP MR. BARTON, HE IS HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT, SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO MY, MY MAIN QUESTION IS, AS IT RELATES TO THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STARTING HERE WITH A PAID PETITION AND A SERVICE PLAN, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT, SORRY.

UH, BUT THERE IS ZONING AND A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT HA NORMALLY ACCOMPANY THESE TYPES OF DEALS.

SO MY QUESTION IS, AT WHAT POINT ARE WE GONNA BE ABLE TO HAVE THE ZONING AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UH, COME BEFORE US? BECAUSE NORMALLY WE LIKE TO, WE LIKE TO MAKE ALL OF THOSE APPROVALS AND THE INITIAL AGREEMENT AT THE SAME TIME.

SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO ZONING, BUT I CAN SAY FROM A WORKING GROUP PERSPECTIVE, IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WOULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL AT THE SAME JUNE 20TH MEETING THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND IS THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT GONNA COME WITH THE ZONING AS WELL? I SHIPMENT STATUS.

SO, AND, AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE WITH THE PORTER, I'M NOT PORTER COUNTRY WITH THE PARAMOUNT SUBDIVISION, WE WENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ZONING IN PLACE AND SO WE ENTITLED THEM WITH THE ABIL WITH THE DENSITY AND THEN THE ZONING JUST NEVER CAME.

AND SO REALLY SINCE THE LESSONS THAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM THEN, WE'VE, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD THE POLICY THAT WE DO OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND OUR ZONING AND OUR ENTITLEMENTS ALL AT THE SAME TIME SO THAT WE DON'T STRING OUT A SERIES OF VOTES IN WHICH TIME, WHO KNOWS WHAT CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN ONE VOTE AND THE NEXT.

SO I'M, IF WE HAVEN'T STARTED THE ZONING APPLICATION, UH, OR I, I I'M ASSUMING IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE A PUT BECAUSE IT'S VERY MUCH MIXED USE.

IF WE HAVEN'T STARTED THAT PROCESS, THEN THAT PROCESS NEEDS TO BE, UH, NEEDS TO BE STARTED IF WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ALL OF THESE AGREEMENTS, UH, ON THE SAME SCHEDULE SO THAT COUNCIL CAN MAKE ONE VOTE ON A SERIES OF ITEMS SO THAT WE HAVE THE FULL PICTURE OF WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON AT THE SAME MEETING.

BLESS YOU.

I'M GONNA WAIT UNTIL SOMEBODY CAN RESPOND TO THAT.

I WASN'T MAYOR, I NEED TO KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT, MAYOR COUNSEL.

THE, THE ZONING PROCESS HAS NOT BEEN STARTED.

UM, BUT WE WILL START THAT PROCESS AND WE WILL TRY TO LINE EVERYTHING UP TO BE CONSIDERED AND, UH, ACTED ON AT THE SAME NIGHT.

SO THERE MAY BE A CON, A CHANCE OF A CONTINUANCE OF A PUBLIC HEARING THAT'S WE HAVE ON THE JUNE 20TH MEETING SO THAT WE HAVE TIME TO ADVERTISE AND BRING THE PUD ZONING, UH, THROUGH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR RECOMMENDATION.

UM, I DO THINK ALL THE TERMS, UM, HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT AND SO NOW IT'S JUST GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

I WOULD DEFER NOT TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING AND FUTURE VOTES TO CREATE THIS DISTRICT IF WE DON'T HAVE THE OTHER VOTES IN FRONT OF US AND ARE JUST MAKING A PUBLIC HEARING WITH THE INTENTION OF POSTPONING.

BUT SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR A FACT THAT WE'RE SCHEDULING, CUZ NOW WE HAVE IT HERE BEFORE US,

[02:35:01]

SO WE CAN MOD, I MEAN WE CAN MODIFY THE RESOLUTION THAT'S BEFORE COUNSEL RIGHT NOW TO CHANGE THAT JUNE 20TH DATE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE TIMES TO GO THROUGH THE ZONING PROCESS.

IF THAT'S THE WISH, THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION.

CUSTOMER FORCE.

UM, I AM SO APPRECIATIVE THAT YOU BROUGHT ALL THIS UP.

THESE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAD, UM, VIA EMAILS BECAUSE FOR ME IT'S KIND OF A SCARY SITUATION NOT KNOWING WHAT IT IS THAT THIS IS ULTIMATELY GONNA LEAD TO.

AND SO I FOR ONE, WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL OF IT AT, AT, AT THE SAME TIME TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T RUN INTO ANY ISSUES.

AS MAYOR MITCHELL HAD PREVIOUSLY SAID THAT WE'VE RUN INTO BEFORE, JUST TRYING TO PROTECT OURSELVES IN LEARNING LESSONS.

IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN TABLE THIS UNTIL, UNTIL WE FIGURE THAT INFORMATION OUT? UM, CUZ THERE WAS A REALLY LONG UNCOMFORTABLE PAUSE AND THAT MAKES ME FEEL, UH, NOT SO CONFIDENT MOVING FORWARD.

UM, AND IF WE'RE GONNA, IF THIS IS GONNA MOVE FORWARD, I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE OUR TS CROSSED AND OUR, OUR EYES DOTTED AND WE'RE MOVING ON AS, AS, UH, WITH AS MUCH KNOWLEDGE AS WE CAN.

SO THE INTENT, THE INTENTION IN BRINGING THE RESOLUTION TONIGHT WAS TO START THE PROCESS SO THAT THE PIT CREATION COULD BE HEARD AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, UM, IS HEARD BY COUNCIL.

AND SO IF THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT GETS PUSHED BACK, WE CAN PUSH BACK THIS ACTION ITEM.

BUT JUST KNOW THAT WE WILL HAVE TO COME TO COUNSEL ONE TIME BEFORE WE COME IN WITH ALL THE DOCUMENTS TOGETHER JUST SO THAT WE CAN START THE PIT CREATION PROCESS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE COUNSEL ACCEPT THIS PETITION AND CALL THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AND SO WHETHER THIS IS TABLE TONIGHT AND WE COME BACK WITH THE SAME REQUEST AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING, OR IF WE MODIFY THE DATE THAT'S IN THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING SO THAT WE'RE ALLOWING EXTRA TIME FOR THE ZONING PROCESS TO OCCUR.

FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE, WE'RE INDIFFERENT.

PARDON? MAYOR JEFF BARTON, UH, REPRESENTING WORKPLACE.

SO I WOULD JUST RECOMMEND THAT WE CHANGE THE DATE TO ALLOW FOR THE ZONING PROCESS BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

WE'VE RECEIVED MANY PRESENTATIONS ON THE EXACT USES AND LAYOUT OF THE PROPOSAL.

BUT IF THE, IF THE PUD ZONING APPLICATION HASN'T BEEN SUBMITTED, THEN WE NEED TO BACK BACK INTO THOSE DATES WITH THIS ACTION SO THAT IT ALL COMES TOGETHER AT ONCE.

GO JEFF, JEFF BARTON.

GO AHEAD.

I, I JUST, JUST TO CLEAR UP SOMETHING YOU ALL MAY WANNA POSTPONE, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT PUD ZONING THERE.

IS PUD ZONING ALREADY EXISTENT ON THE SITE? THAT WAS, WE ALREADY GAVE THE ZONING TO TO THE SITE.

THERE, THERE, YES.

ZONING WAS APPROVED IN 2019, UH, UNANIMOUSLY FOR PUD ZONING ON THE SITE.

AND ARE YOU MAKING ANY RECOMMEND, ARE YOU MAKING ANY REQUESTS TO CHANGE OR ALTER THE ZONING? I THINK YOUR STAFF WOULD AGREE.

THEY'RE LARGELY NONS SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES.

THERE ARE SOME CHANGES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY, FOR EXAMPLE, HIGHER HEIGHT ORDINANCES TO HAVE MORE, A LITTLE BIT MORE I DENSITY IN SOME OF THE MIXED USE BUILDINGS.

THOSE TERM SHEETS WERE PRESENTED TO THE CITY IN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR.

IT'S JUST BEEN A WHILE TO GET THAT, UM, WORK THROUGH, THROUGH STAFF AS WE WENT TO THIS LARGER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

BUT YOU, BUT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE SAYING HERE.

I I COMPLETELY, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

I JUST, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

SO JUST THERE WAS A, THERE I THINK THE IMPRESSION WAS BEING LEFT THAT THERE HADN'T BEEN A ZONING APPLICATION.

YEAH, I JUST, I THINK I'VE TAKEN 6,000 VOTES SO I JUST MISSED THEM.

SO I COMPLET UNDERSTAND.

JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.

THERE IS PUD ZONING IN PLACE.

IT IS MIXED USE ZONING IN PLACE.

WE'VE ADDED THREE ACRES TO IT ON ONE SIDE THAT, THAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU IN THE ORIGINAL PETITIONS.

SO ARE ADDING THAT PUD ZONING TO THAT.

SO YOU ALL MAY WANT TO WAIT, BUT I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THIS.

BUT YOU, SO, BUT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BRING FORWARD.

THERE WILL NEED TO BE AN AMENDMENT TO THE PUD ZONING.

THERE WILL BE AN AMENDMENT WHICH YES, WHICH WILL REALLY JUST TAKE THAT EXISTING PUD ZONING AND EXPAND IT OVER THE ADJACENT PIECE.

AND THEN THERE ARE SOME MINOR ISSUES THAT WE'VE WORKED OUT AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH YOUR KIND OF TO, TO ACCOMMODATE CITY'S REQUESTS ON.

SO, SO WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? WHY DON'T WE, WHY DON'T WE TABLE THIS UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING AND IN, IN THE MEANTIME, WORK OUT YOUR SCHEDULE FOR EXACTLY WHAT THE ZONING PROCESS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND THEN AT THE NEXT MEETING WE'LL MARRY IT ALL UP TOGETHER AND THEN THAT'LL PROBABLY HELP COUNCIL GET A LOT BETTER, UH, COMFORT LEVEL.

IT'S NOT AN ATTEMPT TO KICK THIS CAN, IT IS, IT IS ABOUT A POLICY THAT, THAT I'VE HAD IN PLACE PERSONALLY

[02:40:01]

FOR MANY, MANY YEARS WHEN IT COMES TO COMPLICATED ZONING LIKE THIS, COMPLICATING DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ALL BROUGHT TOGETHER AT ONE TIME SO THAT WE HAVE THE FULL PICTURE.

SO, SO MAY I ADD, ARE YOU ASKING FOR A 30 DAY, CUZ YOU SAID, UH, JUNE 20TH.

ARE WOULD THAT GIVE YOU PLENTY OF TIME OR WOULD IT BE THE NEXT MEETING? I WOULD SAY, UH, 30 DAY NOTICE, LIKE THE, AT LEAST THAT WE'LL PROBABLY UNDERSTAND THE DEADLINE MORE.

UM, BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, MAYOR, WE WANNA MAKE SURE IT'S ALL TOGETHER AND IF THERE'S GONNA BE ANY CHANGES, I KNOW WE DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT OFF GUARD.

WILL ATKINSON FOR THE RECORD DIRECTOR OF PLANNING, WE'LL HAVE A SCHEDULE FOR YOU AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR THE PROPOSED, UM, ZONING BID AND ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE AGENDA ITEMS NUMBER 26 AND 27 UNTIL THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED COUNCIL MEETING.

SECOND MOTION BY THE MAYOR, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES KEL.

THE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION ALL AS IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

MR. BARBARA.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNSEL.

LEON BARBARA, CITY ENGINEER, MAYOR COUNCIL.

UM, LATE LAST YEAR, TEX TODD, UH, ANNOUNCED THIS CALL FOR PROJECTS AND, UH, IT'S A TWO-STEP PROCESS AND THEY HAVE 250 MILLION AVAILABLE FOR FUNDING FOR THIS, UH, PARTICULAR CALL THAT THEY'VE PUT OUT LAST YEAR.

STEP ONE REQUIRED THAT WE SUBMIT SOMETHING BY JANUARY 27TH OF THIS, UH, YEAR, JANUARY 27TH, 2023.

IT WAS FAIRLY EASY.

IT WAS A THREE OR FOUR PAGE REPORT THAT WE PUT TOGETHER FOR THESE THREE PROJECTS.

AND, UH, FROM WHAT WE FOUND OUT, UH, TEXT DOT RECEIVED 465 APPLICATIONS ARE THREE APPLICATIONS, MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST ROUND OF SUBMITTALS.

SO WE'RE REQUESTING THAT COUNSEL, UH, LET US KNOW IF WE WANNA MOVE, CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD WITH THESE THREE PROJECTS.

UH, STEP TWO IS DUE JUNE THE FIFTH OF 2023.

IT'S A VERY DETAILED APPLICATION IF YOU'VE SEEN SOME OF THE BACKUP.

IT'S SOME OF THE APPLICATIONS AROUND 50 PAGES, OTHERS ARE AROUND A HUNDRED PAGES.

SO IT'S A PRETTY DETAILED APPLICATION.

UH, OUR PROJECT MANAGER, JOANNE GARCIA'S, BEEN WORKING ON THE FIRST PROJECT, THE, UH, ONE 50 SHARE JUICE PATH, AND WE'VE BEEN GETTING SOME ASSISTANCE FROM ALAN ROSS WITH SPI ON THE THE SECOND TWO, UH, PROJECTS.

THIS IS A REIMBURSABLE PROGRAM.

THIS MEANS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE THE FUNDING IN OUR CHECKING ACCOUNT TO PAY FOR THESE PROJECTS.

AND THEN WE WOULD GET REIMBURSED THE, THE PLUS SIZE THAT IT'S 80 20.

WE WOULD PAY END UP PAYING AROUND 20% OF THE PROJECT, BUT IF YOU ADDED THE TOTAL PROJECTS AMOUNT, THEY WOULD AMOUNT TO AROUND 43 AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

THAT IF WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THESE, UH, PROJECTS APPROVED BY TECH OT ON THE SECOND SUBMITTAL.

UH, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, ON THE, THE ONE 50 SHARED USE PATH, WE DID AWARD A CONTRACT BACK IN OCTOBER OF, UH, 21 TO LJ ENGINEERING TO DO THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT.

SO WE HAVE 30% PLANS READY TO GO, UH, FOR THAT SHARED USE PATH.

, I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I SAW THESE THREE ITEMS IN THE AGENDA.

IT REALLY MADE ME HAPPY AND I REALLY HOPE WE GET SELECTED.

SO, UM, I DID READ THAT 37 PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD BE AFFECTED.

CAN WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW THEY WILL BE AFFECTED? DO WE KNOW THAT YET? WHICH PROJECT WOULD THAT BE? UH, I, I OPENED THEM ALL TOGETHER.

SO GIVE ME ONE SECOND.

IF I NEED TO OPEN ONE OF THEM, THAT'S GONNA BE, IT SAYS IT WILL BE ABOUT, THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT'S A FOUR AND A HALF MILE SECTION.

SO WE'RE GONNA BE TOUCHING QUITE A FEW PROPERTIES IN THAT AREA.

WE'RE GONNA NEED TO HAVE SOME RIGHT OF WAY, UH, SOME EASEMENTS FOR THE, UH, SHARED USE PATH AS WE GO THROUGH THAT PROJECT.

SO SOME PROPERTY OWNERS MAY NOT BE AFFECTED, BUT, UH, THERE'S AT LEAST 37 PROPERTY OWNERS ALL ALONG THAT FOUR AND A HALF MILE STRETCH.

SO IT'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PROJECT.

AND SO IS, AND THIS IS GONNA BE FOR LIKE BIKE LANES? OR IS IT GONNA BE, WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE USING THIS? IT'S A SHARED USE PATH.

IT'S 10 FEET WIDE.

IT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE.

THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF IT THAT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE NEAR THE, UH, SCHOOLS.

USE PATH AND IT'S GONNA HAVE, UH, LIGHT LIGHTING ON IT.

BUT IT'S, BUT IT'S A 10 FOOT SHARED

[02:45:01]

I'M VERY EXCITED.

SO, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 28, 29 AND 30.

MOTION'S BEEN ON THE TABLE FOR APPROVAL BY COUNCILMAN PARSLEY.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER OF FLORES KALE.

YOU OKAY? DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES KALE? ALL RIGHT.

I AM EQUALLY EXCITED ABOUT ALL THREE OF THESE.

UM, BUT I JUST HAVE TWO QUESTIONS, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF HOPEFULLY GETTING REIMBURSED.

SO ONE, IS IT BETTER TO APPLY FOR ONE OR DO YOU THINK IT'S BETTER TO APPLY FOR ALL THREE? I I'M JUST NERVOUS THAT IF WE ASK FOR TOO MUCH, I WOULD APPLY FOR ALL THREE.

THREE.

AND THEN DO, OKAY, NUMBER 30 IS DEALING WITH UNION PACIFIC.

AND SO DO WE NEED PERMISSION FROM UNION PACIFIC PACIFIC TO, TO BUILD THIS? BECAUSE I KNOW WE WERE DENIED GOING UNDER IF WE, IF WE PAY FOR THIS, UH, CUZ WE, DO WE HAVE TO DO LIKE THE 30% OR WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO EVEN APPLY FOR THIS? WE WILL HAVE TO WORK WITH UNION PACIFIC ON THIS.

AND IN FACT, UH, WHEN THEY DENIED OUR REQUEST TO, TO GO UNDERNEATH THE RUBBER TRACKS, THEY SAID WE WOULD PREFER TO SEE YOU GO OVERHEAD.

PERFECT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

IS THE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL HIS FAVOR SAY AYE.

[35. Discussion and possible action to install temporary illumination on the telecom poles down Kohlers Crossing. ~ Daniela Parsley, Council Member and Travis Mitchell, Mayor]

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO INSTALL TEMPORARY ILLUMINATION ON THE TELECOM POLLS.

UH, DOWN KOHLER'S CROSSING.

THIS ITEM IS COSPONSORED BY CUSTOMER PARLEY AND MYSELF, CUSTOMER PARSLEY.

[02:50:01]

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UM, SO KOHLS CRO IS REALLY A VERY DARK ROAD IN THE EVENINGS.

UM, I'VE HAD SEVERAL RESIDENTS CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY COULD NOT SEE THE STOP SIGNS WHEN THEY WERE DRIVING.

UM, ONE OF THE FLASHING LIGHTS THAT WE PUT ON THE STOP SIGNS FOR THEM TO BE AWARE OF THE NEW STOP SIGN, UH, WASN'T COMPLETELY WORKING.

I DO THINK IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO HAVE SOME SORT OF TEMPORARY ILLUMINATION IN THIS PULSE THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S NEEDED.

I KNOW EVENTUALLY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LIKE VERY NICE PRETTY ILLUMINATION WITH SIDEWALKS.

IT'S SOMETHING MAYBE WE CONSIDER UNDER THE TIER TWO IMPROVEMENTS, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, UNTIL THAT CAN BE DONE, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE COULD DIRECT STAFF TO COME UP WITH MAYBE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO ADD LIGHTS TO SOME OF THESE FALLS.

UM, AND WHAT THE PRICE WOULD BE FOR THAT.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST A MATTER OF JUST PLUGGING SOMETHING IN THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AESTHETICALLY PRETTY, JUST SOMETHING THAT DOES THE JOB UNTIL WE HAVE A BETTER PLAN.

SO THERE, SO THERE ARE POLES, TELECOM POLES THAT RUN ALONG, UH, KOHLERS.

SO THERE'S QUESTIONS THAT I THINK BOTH COUNCILMAN PARLEY AND I HA BOTH HAVE ABOUT WHETHER IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE TO EX UH, TO INSTALL SOME TEMPORARY LIGHTING ALONG THOSE POLES.

YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE MAJOR ROADS THAT WE HAVE HAVE ILLUMINATION, BUT IN THIS CASE, UH, KOHLERS DOES NOT.

UM, AND YOU CAN SEE THE POLLS THERE IN THE IMAGE THAT, UH, IT, THAT'S ON THE SCREEN.

AND SO THE, I UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, UH, I DON'T SEE HARPER HERE, BUT I, I, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MAY BE A POSSIBILITY.

AND SO RATHER THAN GOING INTO IT, I WAS HOPING WE COULD BRING IT UP TO COUNCIL AND JUST GIVE STAFF DIRECTION TO BRING BACK SOME, UH, UH, POS TO BASICALLY LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST MAY PRO 10.

IF YOU GO TO DCI LANE, UM, YOU SEE SOME OF THOSE TEMPORARY LIGHTS ALREADY ON SOME OF THE POLES.

UM, SOME WORK AND SOME DON'T.

BUT I THINK, UM, THERE'S ONE THAT'S ON THE CORNER OF, OF 1626 WHERE THE, UH, AND DCI'S AT.

AND THEN I ALSO HAD, UH, FORMER CITY MANAGER, SCOTT SELLERS, UH, WORK WITH ME TO INSTALL, UH, ANOTHER LIGHT FIXTURE AT SETON PARKWAY AT, UH, DACY LANE.

AND, UM, THAT'S CAME THROUGH SOME OF THE UM, C I P FUNDS, WHICH I DON'T THINK IT WAS A LOT, BUT IT MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

SO IF ANY OF Y'ALL DO DRIVE OUT THERE AT NIGHT, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT IT'S BEEN PRETTY BRIGHT.

AND ESPECIALLY AT BUNTON MEAN AT DCI AND BIBE, WHERE MY GOOD FRIEND LEON BARBER WAS ABLE TO GET A B ANOTHER LIGHT THERE AS WELL FOR THOSE PEOPLE THERE AT THAT STOP SIGN.

I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THE IDEA YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT.

BECAUSE AGAIN, WHENEVER YOU HAVE VEHICLES THAT COME UP ON THAT DARK PASSAGEWAY, UM, YOU COULD BE ABLE TO SEE THAT THERE'S A LIGHT THERE.

AND AS THEY GET CLOSER, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE STOP SIGN ITSELF WITH THE, UH, CROSSING, UM, THE MARKINGS ON THE ROAD.

AND, AND I, I DON'T REMEMBER.

THE REASON WHY WE ALSO GOT THAT IS CUZ COUNCILOR REZO WENT TO GO VISIT ME AT MY HOUSE, NEARLY RAN THE STOP SIGN AND HE AGREED WITH IT.

WE NEEDED TO GET SOMETHING.

SO MAYBE WE CAN LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE THAT, MR. BARBARA LEON, SOME OF THOSE TYPE OF LIGHTS IN THAT AREA.

SO, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF INSTALLING TEMPORARY LIGHTS IN THE TELECOM POLES.

A CALL ACROSS CALLERS CROSSING SECOND, UH, MOTION BY CUSTOMER, PARTIALLY SECONDED BY THE MAYORS, THEIR DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION CUSTOMER FLOOR SCALE.

UM, FOR LACK OF TRYING TO SOUND SELFISH, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S EVER DRIVEN DOWN ONE 50.

UM, BUT YOU TALK ABOUT DARK, I THINK WE HAVE MAYBE THREE THREE LIGHTS YES.

FOR LIKE TWO MILES.

, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY NO BECAUSE I THINK I, I THINK ALL OF KYLE NEEDS TO BE LIT UP.

BUT WHEN WE VOTE ON THIS, I WANT EVERYBODY TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SAFETY AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DARK, THAT AT SOME POINT WE NEED TO LOOK OVER AT ONE 50 BECAUSE IT'S, YOU'RE GOING 50, 55.

IF YOU'RE SPEEDING, YOU'RE GOING 60.

AND SO I AGREE HAVING THAT AND COMING UP ON THE HILL, IT'S A SCARY SITUATION.

WE'VE HAD PEOPLE DIE WITHIN THE LAST 18 MONTHS.

DO WE HAVE ANY TELECOM POLES AROUND ALONG ONE 50? YES.

OH, WE GOT POLES FOR DAYS.

MOST OF 'EM ARE LEANING TO THE LEFT, TO THE RIGHT AND THEN, AND THE CABLES ARE BURIED LOW.

AND SO I WISH SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY WE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO, TO JUST PUT MORE LIGHT IN THESE AREAS THAT WE KNOW ARE DANGEROUS.

I MEAN YOU COULD JUST LITERALLY HOOK UP A I CAN DO IT MYSELF PROBABLY, BUT, UM, IT WOULD, I JUST WANT US TO BE THOUGHTFUL OF EACH OTHER.

I WOULD NOT VOTE NO FOR THIS.

I READ IT, I WAS A LITTLE, UM, BITTER BECAUSE I'M LIKE, GOD, WE NEED THIS EVERYWHERE.

UM, AND,

[02:55:01]

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LIGHT OVER THAT STOP SIGN AND NOT NECESSARILY, UM, RELY ON A LIT UP STOP SIGN BECAUSE IN THE EVENT IT'S NOT LIT UP.

THAT'S SUPER DANGEROUS.

I, IF, IF I MAY ADD ON THAT, I THINK IF I MAY HAVE SPOKEN TO A CITY EMPLOYEE BEFORE WE, THERE ALSO HAS TO BE THE DIFFERENCE IF IT'S A CITY IN OR COUNTY POLE OR A COUNTY, OR ACTUALLY IF IT'S P C, CUZ IF P C OWNS THOSE POLES, I DON'T THINK WE'RE LIABLE TO BE ABLE TO ADD THOSE TYPE OF LIGHTS, INCLUDING ADDING THE CONDUITS AND SO FORTH.

UH, SO I WONDER IF THAT COULD BE ALSO THE OTHER QUESTION OF WHY, OR, OR IF WE, IF IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WE ADD LIGHTS LIKE ON HERE AT KOHLERS AND ON ONE 50 IN THE FUTURE AS WE PLAN OUR, OUR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AND, AND OUR C I P PROJECTS, THAT COULD BE SOMETHING WE CAN ADD, I GUESS WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT TO SEE IF WE ACTUALLY OWN THESE POLLS TO WHERE WE CAN LEGALLY OR FROM A CITY STANDPOINT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THOSE POLLS.

COULD I AMEND MY MOTION? SURE.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND MY MOTION.

UM, DO I NEED TO STATE THE STATE? THE ONE OKAY.

I'D LIKE TO AMEND MY MOTION AND MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, DIRECT STAFF TO LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING TEMPORARY LIGHTS ALONG THE TELECOM POLES AT COLORS CROSSING AND LOOK INTO THE, THE POLES THAT ARE BY ONE 50 AND SEE IF WE CAN ADD TEMPORARY LIGHTS TO THAT.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT COULD BE TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS.

THAT'S IT.

I HAVE MOTION, UH, TO AMEND BY CUSTOMER, PARTIALLY SECONDED BY CUSTOMER FORCE KALE, UH, THAT WE INCORPORATE ONE 50 INTO THE DIRECTION, UM, FOR LOOK, UH, LOOKING AT TEMPORARY LIGHTS ON TELECOM POLES.

IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION CUSTOMER ZUNIGA? YEAH, I MEAN, WHEN I LOOK AT THE PHOTO, IT'S OBVIOUS.

UM, DO WE NEED MORE ILLUMINATION THERE? YES, WE DO.

SO I'M DEFINITELY NOT GONNA SAY NO TO THAT.

BUT, UM, WHEN I DRIVE OVER BY LAYMAN AND BUNTON, THAT INTERSECTION IS TERRIBLE AND THAT'S WHERE KIDS LEAVE.

PEOPLE ARE COMING HOME.

THERE'S NO VISIBILITY THERE EITHER.

THERE'S ALSO NO VISIBILITY ON D DCI AND BUNTON.

SO, WELL, I I JUST WANNA, SO WE WOULD LIKE TO LOOK EVERYWHERE.

WELL, I WANNA REMIND THE COUNCIL OF NOT TOO MANY MONTHS AGO WHEN A REQUEST WAS MADE YES, YES.

TO INSTALL LIGHTS NEXT TO SIMON MIDDLE SCHOOL AND TOBY'S MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND THE COUNCIL DIDN'T SAY, NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT.

WE WANNA LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL IN THE CITY IN ORDER TO, SOMEBODY SAID THAT SOMEBODY UP HERE SAID, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ACTION THAT WE TOOK.

SO I'M, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A PROPOSAL THAT'S BEING BROUGHT UP HERE TO ADDRESS AN ISSUE.

AND IF WE GIVE IT SCOPE CREEP, WHICH IS WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, THE POSSIBILITY OF THE, THE SPONSORED ACTION CAN, UH, BE DIMINISHED.

AND SO THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DID.

WHEN WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE TRI-PARTY AGREEMENT THAT WAS PROPOSED BEFORE.

SO I'M JUST, LET'S JUST LIMIT IT TO ONE 50 FOR NOW AND I'LL BRING BACK, I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER WHAT WAS BROUGHT UP.

SO COUNCILMAN HEISER, JUST THE ONLY THING I'M GONNA SAY HERE IS WE JUST CHANGED THE BEHAVIOR OF DRIVERS ON THIS ROAD BY ADDING IN A STOP SIGN.

SO THAT IS THE MAIN REASON WE NE WE ARE TRYING TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD RIGHT.

IS FOR, IS BECAUSE WE DID SOMETHING THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL DRIVING PATTERN FOR PEOPLE WHO USE THAT ROAD.

SO I JUST, YOU KNOW.

ALRIGHT.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? DISCUSSION THAT CONTEXT? I, I, I DO WANT TO ADD THAT THE, THAT WE HAVE A TOURIST BOARD MEETING IN TWO DAYS.

IS THAT RIGHT? IS IT ON THIS THURSDAY? MM-HMM.

SO ON, ON THIS THURSDAY'S TOUR BOARD AGENDA WILL BE, UH, DISCUSSION OF PROJECTS FOR THE, FOR TUR NUMBER TWO, WHICH EVERYTHING ON THE NORTH SIDE, YOU KNOW, IN PLUM CREEK, UH, AS WELL AS, UH, FURTHER EAST, THERE'S INTERSECTIONS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED AT OUR LAST TERRACE BOARD MEETING.

AND, UH, WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WHAT I'M HOPING THAT THE TURS BOARD WILL APPROVE, UH, AT THAT, UH, AT THAT MEETING WILL BE NOT ONLY INTERSECTIONS IMPROVEMENTS AT SANDERS AND BENNER AND CROMWELL, BUT ALSO PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS ALONG.

SO WE CAN CONNECT, UH, ALONG COALERS CROSSING AS WELL AS THE PEDESTRIAN UNDERPASS THAT I KNOW WE'VE ALL TAKEN A LOOK AT.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO INCORPORATE ALL THAT INTO A FUTURE PROJECT AS WELL.

SO I JUST WANNA PUT THAT ON EVERYONE'S MIND, THAT THAT IS SOMETHING WE'LL BE EXPLORING ALSO.

BUT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, EVEN IF WE, UH, DO IMMEDIATELY PUT THAT PROJECT IN MOTION, UH, YOU KNOW HOW PRO YOU KNOW, HOW LONG PROJECTS TAKE.

SO, ALRIGHT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL LIKE TO APPROVE THE AMENDED MOTION OR, UH, YES.

BROUGHT UP BY.

YEP.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SIX TO ZERO, WHICH BRINGS US TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES SIX TO ZERO.

IS THE DIRECTION CLEAR, LEON? YES, SIR.

NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 36, CONSIDERING POSSIBLE ACTION TO AMEND

UM,

[36. Consider and possible action to amend animal control ordinance to prohibit leaving animals in hot vehicles without water and open window. ~ Miguel A. Zuniga PhD, Council Member]

[03:00:01]

ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE TO PROHIBIT LEAVING ANIMALS IN HOT VEHICLES WITHOUT WATER.

AND OPEN WINDOW COUNCIL FROM ZK? UH, YES.

UH, THIS AGENDA ITEM, I'M JUST GOING TO RETRACT BECAUSE I DID GET MORE INFORMATION WHEN I LOOKED AT THE MUNI CODE.

NEXT UP, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 37, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO INCREASE THE MINIMUM DISTANCE FOR THE CHILD SAFETY ZONE ORDINANCE, COUNCIL MEMBER PARSLEY.

IT WAS ALREADY IN THERE.

SOUNDS GOOD.

[37. Discussion and possible action to increase the minimum distance for the child safety zone ordinance. ~ Daniela Parsley, Council Member]

SORRY.

UM, OKAY.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.

DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE ARE ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE FASTEST GROWING COUNTY IN THE COUNTRY, I THINK THAT IT WILL BE WISE TO DO A REVISION OF THE CHILD'S SAFETY ZONE ORDINANCE.

UM, IF IT WERE UP TO ME, I WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THAT TO TWICE THE AMOUNT.

I KNOW THAT'S NOT PROBABLY RATIONAL AND I KNOW THAT PAIGE SA SHARES SOME INFORMATION, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF MOVING THE 1000 FEET MARK TO 1500 AND SEE, UM, HOW COUNCIL FEELS ABOUT IT.

I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO KNOW IF PAIGE CAN SHARE THOUGHTS ABOUT IF THIS BECOME AN ISSUE.

UM, LIKE I DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE I AM PUSHING ALL, I MEAN, I DON'T WANNA SEE , I JUST WANNA HAVE THE DISCUSSION.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO INCREASE THE CHILD SAFETY ZONES FROM 1000 FEET TO 1500 FEET.

IS THE DISCUSSION ON THAT RECOMMENDATION.

MAYOR PROTE, I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE, UM, CUZ WE HAD THIS, UM, WHEN WE FIRST BROUGHT THIS ORDINANCE, IT WAS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT IT FROM THE BEGINNING AND, AND, YOU KNOW, WE WERE KIND OF NOT SO MUCH TO SAY ON THE FENCE ABOUT THE, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF SO FORTH ON THAT END.

UM, BUT I GUESS IT WOULD JUST RAISE THE QUESTION TO WHERE, WHAT, WHAT WOULD BE THE FACTUAL INFORMATION NOW THAT WE WOULD WANT TO INCREASE IT BY 500 FEET? WHAT, WHAT IS IT, WHAT WOULD BE THE REASONING, I GUESS, THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT MAYBE MOVING THE THOUSAND FEET, UM, BARRIER TO NOW 1500 FEET? WHAT AND WOULD THAT MAKE, UH, A DIFFERENCE? AND NOT ONLY THAT, UM, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME COP POLICE OFFICERS THAT DO WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS THAT MIGHT BE ON THE REGISTRY AND, UM, MAYBE WE COULD GET SOME FEEDBACK AS FAR AS, UM, COMPLIANCE AND IF THERE'S BEEN ANY ISSUES WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGES.

SO IT JUST KIND OF OPENS UP THOSE KIND OF CONVERSATIONS.

WHAT WOULD BE THE REASONING WHY WE WANNA MOVE IT FROM A THOUSAND TO 1500? MY REASONING WAS BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH A BIG INFLUENCE OF PEOPLE MOVING TO THE KYLE AREA, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE, UM, THAT WE TRY TO, UH, MOVE THESE INDIVIDUALS INTO THE, THE SKIRTS OF THE CITY.

UM, I DON'T THINK THERE IS REALLY, UM, A CONCERN OF MINE TO, TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, SEX OFFENDERS LEAVING CLOSE TO, TO TWO KIDS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS OR DAYCARE LOCATIONS OR PARKS.

IN THAT WAY, WE WILL BE INCREASING SAFETY IN OUR CITY.

, DO WE HAVE ANY STATS AS FAR AS, UH, SINCE WE PASSED THE ORDINANCE THAT WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH PEOPLE OR INDIVIDUALS THAT, UH, THAT FALL UNDER THIS THAT MIGHT BE IN VIOLATION TO WHERE WE WOULD NEED TO MOVE IT UP? I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT TWO YEARS FROM NOW OR A YEAR FROM NOW, WE'RE GONNA NOT, WE'RE GONNA COME BACK AND SAY, OKAY, NOW I WANT IT 2000 FEET.

I DON'T WANT, I DON'T WANT INDIVIDUALS OR I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, UH, ON THAT.

SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE JUST KIND OF CLEAR ON THE DIRECTIVE OF, IN CASE I GET A RESIDENT ASKING ME LATER ON WHY, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS GOT THIS IN PLACE AND NOW WHY, WHY IS THE CITY WANTING TO INCREASE IT? IS THERE ANYBODY THAT I DON'T THINK COP POLICE IS HERE.

I DO KNOW THAT IT WAS A CONCERN FOR SOME OF OUR OFFICERS.

, UH, CUSTOMER FORCE.

THERE'S A FEW THINGS.

I REMEMBER THIS LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.

A FEW THINGS I WANTED TO MAKE MENTION OF IS THIS IS NOT JUST FOR SEX OFFENDERS IN GENERAL, THIS IS FOR SEX OFFENDERS TO, TO YOUTH.

AND SO I THINK WE SETTLED WITH THE THOUSAND FEET.

SO I I I THINK AT THE TIME WE WERE ALL LIKE, WE COULD DO 2000 FEET.

IT'S, THAT'S, WE JUST WANNA KEEP THE KIDS SAFE.

UM,

[03:05:01]

UM, BUT ADJUSTING TO GROWTH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE MORE SCHOOLS WE'RE WE KNOW WE HAVE MORE PARKS, WE'RE GONNA HAVE MORE KIDS THAT, THAT WE JUST BE OPEN-MINDED AND, AND SAY, OKAY, SO WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT HELPFUL IF WE HAD KPD HERE TO GIVE US ANY KIND OF FEEDBACK THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE REGARDING THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE PROGRAM.
