MAYOR LIKE TO GO IN AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR APRIL 5TH, 2022 REGULAR MEETING.TOBIA SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM RIZZO THAT WE APPROVE THEM MINUTES FOR APRIL 5TH.
IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? YES, I HAVE A QUESTION COMES FROM A FULL-SCALE.
UM, SO I WAS LOOKING AT, UM, THE AGENDA GOING BACK TO SEE HOW, UM, THERE WAS A VOTE TAKEN AND I NOTICED THIS WAS FROM THE FIFTH AND I GUESS I'M JUST KIND OF CONFUSED AS TO WHY THE FIFTH WAS BROKEN UP ON TWO COUNCILS APPROVAL MINUTES.
ONE WAS LAST MEETING FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING AND THEN THIS MEETING WAS FOR THE REGULAR MEETING.
SO I GUESS I'M WONDERING WHEN THE 19TH, WHEN DOES THAT GET PROCESSED? JENNIFER HOME CITY SECRETARY FOR THE RECORD.
UM, I HAVE, MY DEPARTMENT OF TWO HAS BEEN REDUCED TO APARTMENT A DEPARTMENT OF WINE, AND I'M TRYING TO BRING ALL THE MINUTES IN ORDER SO THAT WE DON'T, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, EVEN IF THE APRIL 19TH MINUTES WERE READY ALREADY, I DIDN'T WANT TO BRING THOSE AHEAD OF THE REGULAR MINUTES PRIOR TO THAT.
AND SO I'M JUST GOING IN ORDER AS SOON AS I CAN GET THEM DONE.
ANYONE ELSE? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
NEXT STEP, CITIZEN COMMENTS PERIOD.
[III. Citizen Comment Period with City Council]
AT THIS TIME WE ASK ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON ANY ITEM TO PLEASE DO.SO WE ASK THAT YOU LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES AND THAT YOU DIRECT.
THOSE COMES TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
WE ALSO ASK THAT YOU FILL OUT A CITIZEN COMMENTS FORM AND SUBMIT THAT TO EITHER MYSELF OR THE CITY SECRETARY.
I HAVE A FEW FOLKS ALREADY REGISTERED TO SPEAK, UH, FIRST UP, UH, CHAP AMBROSE.
UM, I DO KNOW THIS IS STRAINED TO YOUTUBE, SO JUST WANTED TO SAVE US, GET SOME LIKES AND SUBSCRIBES HIT THAT BELL BUTTON, THE CITY OF KYLE, YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
AND I WAS LOVE TO LOVE TO SEE THAT.
UM, MY NAME IS CHAD AMBROSE, AND I CAN TELL YOU WITH SOME CONFIDENCE THAT I HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE NEGOTIATING WITH THE BORING COMPANY THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THIS ROOM.
ONE YEAR AGO, THEY PURCHASED MY NEIGHBORS PROPERTY AND THEY TURNED THAT INTO THEIR HEADQUARTERS.
AND, UH, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM AS THEIR NEIGHBOR.
AND I'M SURE IT'S A FAMILIAR TUNE TO HEAR THAT THEY MADE PROMISES ABOUT LIGHT POLLUTION, NOISE, TRUCK, TRAFFIC, FIBER INTERNET, BUT ONE YEAR LATER THEY'VE DELIVERED ON NONE OF THOSE PROMISES AND I, I RESPECT TEXAS LANDOWNER LAWS.
AND THE REALITY IS THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS FOR US.
UH, BUT THEY DO HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW THE LAW.
AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY ENDED UP IN DOING THAT.
AND IF YOU LOOK INTO THE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY, AND IF YOU JUST LOOK INTO THE HISTORY OF THE LAST YEAR IN BASTROP, THERE IS A PATTERN OF THEM BUILDING WITHOUT PROPER PERMITS AND APPROVAL.
WHEN THE AGENCY THAT, UH, GOVERNANCE THAT GETS INVOLVED, THEY TRY TO BULLY FOR EXCEPTIONS AND FOR CUTS IN THE LINE.
SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TALK TO YOUR BASTROP COUNTY COUNTERPARTS AS YOU'RE DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU TWO QUICK EXAMPLES.
WE WENT TO THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT, FEBRUARY 28TH.
THEY HAD A PROPOSAL THERE THAT WAS NOT APPROVED BECAUSE OF AN ILLEGAL SEPTIC SYSTEM.
THEY, THEY BUILT SIX MANUFACTURED HOMES FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES, MOVED IN THOSE FAMILIES AND DID NOT HAVE A PROPER SYSTEM.
TEXTILE FOUR WEEKS AGO, THERE WAS AN EMAIL FROM TEXTILE AFTER A YEAR OF THEM NOT HAVING A LEGAL PERMIT ACCESS OFF OF FM 12 FROM A TEXTILE ENGINEER.
AGAIN, WITH THIS DECISION TO CONSTRUCT THIS DRIVEWAY WITH NO PERMIT OR APPROVAL AT THE LOCATE AT THE LOCATION LOCATION CHOSEN, ALL LIABILITY IS ON THE BORING COMPANY.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I WOULD ENCOURAGE
[00:05:01]
YOU TO WORK WITH THE AOA ON AN ENGINEERING SOLUTION TO MITIGATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.UNFORTUNATELY, 20 DAYS AFTER THAT EMAIL, THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A BORING COMPANY EMPLOYEE, A AND A BACKDROP CITIZEN.
AND SO PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT NOW AND Y'ALL HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY.
THE WORLD'S RICHEST MAN IS HERE.
THE COMPANIES ARE FOLLOWING AND I'M ASKING YOU THAT WE UPHOLD.
SO SINCE RIGHTS AND JUST TAKE CARE OF OUR NEIGHBORS, UH, I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT HARD.
I THINK HE'S GOT THE RESOURCES TO DO IT.
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY'VE NOT MADE IT A PRIORITY AND I HOPE THEY DO THAT.
I WISH THEM THE BEST THEY ARE MY NEIGHBOR.
AND SO I'VE GOT A LEVEL OF FORUM, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM DO THIS THE WRONG WAY.
UM, I'M HERE BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE STAGECOACH CROSSING NEIGHBORHOOD AND, UH, UH, WE HAVE AN ISSUE OF PEOPLE USING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO CUT THROUGH FROM STATE OLD STAGECOACH ROAD TO SCOTT STREET AND VICE VERSA.
AND IT'S BECOME A PROBLEM TO WHERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S MORE TRAFFIC THAN THERE SHOULD BE.
THEY'RE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.
UM, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARK IS ON THIS ROAD THAT THEY'RE CUTTING THROUGH.
I MEAN, IT'S ALL THEIR KID ALL OVER THE PLACE THEY'RE PLAYING.
THE PLAYGROUND IS RIGHT THERE.
AND SO, UM, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES, KALE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP, UH, PUT IT ON THE AGENDA AND WE'RE, WE'RE HOPING THAT YOU GUYS CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING OR DIRECT YOUR STAFF TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING TO WHERE WE HAVE A PERMANENT SOLUTION, UH, BEYOND JUST, YOU KNOW, HAVING A SQUAD CAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SITTING THERE, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S SORT OF A, BAND-AID, IT WORKS FOR A DAY OR TWO, BUT WHETHER THAT STOP SIGNS OR, UH, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHATEVER THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION COULD BE TO KIND OF CURB THIS, THIS TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF, IF YOU LOOK AT A MAP, YOU CAN, I MEAN, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THERE'S OUR NEIGHBORHOODS JUST KIND OF WEDGED IN BETWEEN THERE.
AND SO WHEN THE OPTION IS DRIVING UP TO CENTER STREET WITH THE STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC AND, UM, THE SCHOOLS ZONES AND ALL THAT STUFF, OR JUST CUTTING THROUGH OUR LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S, IT'S AN EASY DECISION FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE.
UH, SO THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, MY CONCERN AND, AND, AND JUST ONE MORE THING.
UH, WE, I SAW THE, THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT AT LEAST FOR NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE TWO ROADS OLD STAGECOACH AND SCOTT STREET ARE GONNA BE TURNED INTO A FOUR LANE ROADS.
AND SO I, I HOPE YOU WOULD REALLY, UH, JUST CONSIDER OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN YOU MAKE THOSE PLANS, BECAUSE AS THE TRAFFIC INCREASES, THE LAND THAT'S, THAT'S EMPTY AROUND US IS, IS UNDEVELOPED.
NOW IT WILL BECOME A DEVELOPED, UH, IT'S A PROBLEM THAT'S GOING TO GET WORSE.
AND SO, UM, I'M REALLY WORRIED.
AND A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE WORRIED.
WE HAVE A, UH, UH, FACEBOOK PAGE WHERE PEOPLE WERE SOUNDING OFF ABOUT IT AND JOKING, UH, OUR, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS, UH, CONESTOGA THAT THAT'S THE MAIN ROAD THROUGH THERE THEY'RE CHOKING CONESTOGA HIGHWAY, YOU KNOW, SO, SO, UM, YEAH, UH, ANYTHING Y'ALL COULD DO TO TAKE SOME ACTION TO MITIGATE THAT WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.
UH, GOLEM, UH, CA CAMBRIA CAMBRIA.
UH, I'M A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER.
UH, I'M GOING TO BE THE GEO-TECHNICAL ENGINEER FOR THE KYLE PEDESTRIAN, UH, THE TUNNEL PROJECT.
SO I CAN TALK ABOUT THE SOIL, UH, IF IT IS BUILT WITH PROPER PERMITS AND, UH, WITH THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ALL THE BODY INVOLVED, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE VERY GOOD PROJECTS.
UH, WE ARE GOING TO BE DRILLING GEO-TECHNICAL BOARDING TO SEE, UH, WHAT'S THEIR SOIL WISE.
UH, WE EXPECT, UH, TO GET AUSTIN JOB FORMATION, WHICH IS CONSIDERED AS SOFT ROCK FROM DANONE PERSPECTIVE.
SO VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR TUNNELING, SELF SUPPORTED AND, UH, GOOD CONDITION, UH, FOR THE TUNNELING, UH, IN REGARDS TO, UH, THE POTENTIAL FOR GIVING A SLOUGHING THAT MAY HAPPEN DURING, UH, TUNNELING PROJECTS FROM A TECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE.
I THINK, UH, TRANSPORTATION IS GOING TO PROVIDE A MULTIMODAL SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION.
IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY FOR THE PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS THROUGH THE, UH, RAIL CROSSING.
SO, AS I SAY, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD PROJECT AND WE ARE REALLY EXCITED TO BE TEAMING AND WORKING ON THE PROJECT.
I AM ACTUALLY, UM, ADDRESSING ALL ABOUT THE BORING COMPANY PROJECT.
UM, AS IN FAVOR FOR IT, I AM A
[00:10:01]
SIX YEAR LONG KYLE RESIDENT NOW, AS WELL AS A LANDOWNER AND A LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER.UM, I'M A SEVENTH GENERATION AUSTINITE THOUGH.
SO MY FAMILY HAS BEEN HERE A LONG TIME.
WE ALL ARE WANTING THE BEST FOR THE AREA.
UM, WE ARE IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY.
MY HUSBAND ACTUALLY WORKS FOR THE BORING COMPANY, SO THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF EXCITEMENT WITH, UM, BEING A LOCAL RESIDENT.
WE ARE EXCITED, YOU KNOW, WHAT THAT CAN BRING FOR THE CITY AS WELL AS BRINGING OUR NAME, UM, AND JUST, YOU KNOW, THE INNOVATIVE, UM, YEAH, SO I'M JUST IN, UH, YOU KNOW, FAVOR OF IT.
AND I HAVE FULL FAITH THAT THE BORING COMPANY WILL ADHERE TO ANY CONCERNS THAT WERE BEING ADDRESSED EARLIER.
AND I THINK IT WOULD BRING A LOT OF GOOD THINGS FOR THE COMMUNITY.
NEXT STEP, ANDREW CRAWFORD THANK YOU, MAYOR.
I'M THE HR MANAGER FOR TEXAS IN TEXAS FOR THE BORING COMPANY.
UH, AND I ALSO LIVED JUST DOWN THE ROAD, MY FATHER-IN-LAW LIVES HERE.
SO, UH, MY KIDS AND HE WILL MOST LIKELY USE THIS TUNNEL QUITE OFTEN, CAUSE THERE'LL BE VERY CLOSE TO IT.
THIS IS A TEXAS BUILT TUNNEL, BORING MACHINE.
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU COULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT, A TEXAS BUILT TUNNEL, BORING MACHINE DIGGING, A TEXAS TUNNEL WITH NO NEW TAXES ADDED.
I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT.
I THINK THIS PUTS YOU GUYS AT THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATION FOR AN INNOVATIVE COMPANY, UM, AND I AM FULLY IN SUPPORT OF IT.
IS THERE ANY, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON ANY ITEM? ALL RIGHT.
LAST UP JAMES OR MAYOR COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD.
I'M A CITIZEN OF KYLE SINCE 2006.
AND YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE ME FOR MY OTHER DUTIES.
UM, I WANTED TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT DURING CITIZEN COMMENT TO, UM, TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE HARD WORK THAT GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES.
THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO THE PUBLIC ASPECT OF WHAT EVERYONE DOES SEE, BUT THERE'S SO MUCH THAT GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES TO ALLOW THESE MEETINGS TO WORK FOR THE AGENDAS TO GET POSTED.
AND THIS WEEK IS MUNICIPAL CLERKS WEEK, AND I WANTED TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HIGHLIGHT THE GREAT WORK THAT, UH, JENNIFER HOME HAS BEEN DOING AS OUR CITY SECRETARY.
UH, JUST THIS EVENING, YOU UNDERSTAND, UH, SHE USUALLY DOESN'T GET SEEN UNLESS THINGS AREN'T WORKING THE WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO, AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, A TESTAMENT TO HER THAT SHE'S KEEPING UP WITH AS MUCH AS SHE HAS GOING ON WHENEVER SHE'S SHORT-STAFFED.
UM, SHE'S BEEN REALLY PUTTING IN A LOT OF EFFORT AND A LOT OF, UH, STRESS AND FRET THERE MAY OR MAY NOT BE WINE IN THIS BASKET THAT I'VE PUT TOGETHER.
UH, BUT I JUST WANT TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK YOU ALL, TO JOIN ME IN CELEBRATING HER DURING MUNICIPAL CLERKS WEEK.
I'M GOING TO, I'M GOING TO TAKE A MOMENT OF PRIVILEGE HERE AND SAY SOMETHING ABOUT JENNIFER.
CAUSE I KNOW THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTS ME TO DO SO BADLY.
UM, I'VE HAD THE SAME CITY SECRETARY FOR SIX YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE.
UH, I DEAL WITH CITY SECRETARY, THE OFFICE OF THE CITY SECRETARY A LOT.
UH, AND I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES TO JENNIFER, BUT Y'ALL SHOULD KNOW.
I THINK SHE'S PROBABLY THE BEST THAT YOU SECRETARY IN THE WHOLE LAND.

SO WE'LL, IF WE CAN BRING THE BALLOONS IN A LITTLE BIT MORE.
NEXT UP A PRESENTATION FROM 18 T REGARDING ITS GENERAL BUILD PLAN.
THE SERVICES OFFERED PROCEDURES FOR NOTIFYING RESIDENTS AND HOW WE'LL ADDRESS ANY ISSUES.
AND WITH AT AND T UH, UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE BALLOONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR TIME FOR, UH, GIVING US A FEW MINUTES TO COME AND TALK TO YOU ALL.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BE BRINGING STATE OF THE ART FIBER OPTIC BROADBAND TO KYLE, UH, RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES.
AND JUST A SECOND THOUGHT OF MINE.
I'D LIKE TO ASK MY COLLEAGUES, BRAD LOWERY, AND SHAWN KEMP FROM OUR NETWORK ORGANIZATION.
WE HAVE A REAL BRIEF PRESENTATION.
WE WOULD LIKE TO WALK THROUGH WITH Y'ALL.
UH, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, THE SERVICES, AND IMPORTANTLY, EVERYTHING THAT WE'LL DO TO MINIMIZE ANY KIND OF DISRUPTIONS FOR, FOR YOUR RESIDENTS AND THEN WHAT WE'LL DO TO HANDLE ANY KIND OF ISSUES THAT COME UP.
SO, UH, BUT, BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, I ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL OF, ALL OF Y'ALL, THE CITY STAFF, UH, THE COUNCIL, ALL OF YOU FOR WORKING WITH US.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING TO HELP US GET THIS DONE.
AND, UM, I WON'T TAKE ANY MORE OF YOUR TIME.
I'LL I'LL HAVE TO TURN IT OVER TO THE EXPERTS NOW.
THE SPEEDS THAT WE'LL BE OFFERING ON OUR FIBER OPTICS IS GOING TO BE, EVERYTHING IS SYMMETRICAL UP AND DOWN, UH, 300 MEGABITS PER SECOND, 501 GIG TO GIG AND FIVE GIG
[00:25:01]
ON THE ONE GIG TO GIG FIVE GIG.UH, THERE IS OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART MODEM, WHICH ANDY, IF YOU HAD ANY, UH, DARK SPOTS OR ANY AREAS IN YOUR HOME OR WIFI WAS DIFFICULT, THIS SHOULD BE THE REMEDY FOR IT.
UH, HBO MAX IS ALSO INCLUDED WITH THE ONE GIG TWO, IF YOU CAN, FIVE GIG.
AND SO NEXT SLIDE, THIS SLIDE IS A REITERATION OF THE FIRST ONE.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT IT ALSO MENTIONS THAT WE HAVE THE ACT OF ARMOR, WHICH IS SOMETHING, A FIREWALL THAT IS PROVIDED WITH THE SERVICES.
SO THE TIMELINE FOR THE PLACEMENT IS GOING TO BE TYPICALLY TAKES US SIX MONTHS FROM THE TIME WE START TILL THE TIME IT'S TURNED UP SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS ON THE DESIGN SIDE PRIOR TO MEETING AT THIS TIME ON DETERMINED 30 DAYS FOR MATERIAL ORDERING.
AND WE HAVE THE PLACEMENT USUALLY TAKES 90 DAYS.
OUR SPLICING IS, UH, 30 DAYS AND THEN WE HAVE TURNIP AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE SALES EVENTS.
WE'LL, WE'LL START HAPPENING AROUND THE 30 DAY PERIOD OF THE SPLICING.
AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE FACILITIES THAT WILL BE PLACED.
WE HAVE THE PFPS OR PRIMARY FLEXIBILITY POINT, THE TERMINAL THAT WE PLACED, UH THAT'S WE WILL PROBABLY BE PLACING, UH, EIGHT 60 FOURS IN YOUR AREA.
THOSE ARE THE LARGEST OF THE PFPS THAT WE PLACE.
AND ALSO WE, IN THE PICTURE, WE HAVE SOME OF OUR TERMINALS AND OUR BOOKS CLOSURES.
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OTHER THAN THE BOXES WILL BE GROUND LEVEL.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST SHOWING THE RPF P R A R HAND HOLES.
AND THEN RETURN IT OVER TO MY FRIEND, BRAD, I WILL ADD ON THE EQUIPMENT ON THE PFPS.
THE ONLY ELECTRONICS THAT WE'LL BE UTILIZING THAT REQUIRE POWER ARE LOCATED IN AN EXISTING AT AND T ASSET RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.
THIS IS MAIN OR CENTER STREET RIGHT DOWN HERE ON THE LEFT.
SO, UH, THAT'S THE ONLY POWER REQUIRED ON ANYTHING THAT WE DEPLOY IN THE FIELD.
SO NO POWER REQUESTS OR ANY PERMITTING IN TERMS OF POWER REQUIRED, UH, ON THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE, I'M NOT GOING TO TELL THIS TEAM ANYTHING THEY HAVEN'T SEEN ON THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE.
A LOT OF ACTIVITY, A LOT OF PROS IN THE CITY OUT THERE IT'S BUSY.
UH, I WILL SAY FROM AN AT AND T PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS OUR FIRST TOUCH POINT WITH THE CUSTOMER.
THIS IS OUR FIRST IMPRESSION WITH THE CUSTOMER.
WE HAVE TO LEVERAGE THIS FROM A CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE PERSPECTIVE AND WE HAVE TO WIN THE CUSTOMER ON THE CONSTRUCTION PIECE OF IT.
RIGHT? SO I LIKE THAT, UH, WE WILL DEPLOY COLLATERAL TOUR HANGERS 48 TO 90 OR 48 TO 96 HOURS BEFORE ANY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY, COMMENCES AND A COMMUNITY.
WE USUALLY PERMIT AND CLUSTERS OF HOMES, 250 TO 500 HOMES AT A TIME.
SO WE WILL DEPLOY COLLATERAL ON EVERY IMPACTED RESIDENTS DOOR.
IT'S ABOUT THE FIBER PRODUCT ITSELF.
THE OTHER PIECE OF THE DOOR HANGER WE'LL TAKE YOU WELL, TAKE YOU TO A CONSTRUCTION HELP DESK, WHICH I'LL TOUCH ON ON THE NEXT SLIDE.
IT'S ONE, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES IN THE COMMUNITY, UH, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE TO GET LOCATED 8 1, 1 48 HOURS BEFORE ANY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES.
COMMENCE LOCATES ARE GOOD FOR 14 DAYS AT STANDARD PRACTICE.
UH, WE WILL BE PLACING FIBER OPTIC FACILITIES AT LEAST 24 INCHES IN DEPTH OR GREATER GENERALLY IT'S 36, BUT WE SAY 24 HAD TO GO UP AND DOWN.
WE'VE GOT TO MISS OTHER UTILITIES.
SO 24 INCHES OR GREATER, UH, HOW WE SUPPORT THE BILL.
AGAIN, I'LL TOUCH ON, ON THE NEXT SLIDE, PUT THAT IT'S PRIMARILY THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION HELP DESK.
UH, WE HAVE CONTRACT COORDINATORS THAT MANAGE OUR CONTRACT RESOURCES IN THE FIELD.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR AT T AND T UH, EXTERNAL AFFAIRS PARTNERS.
KELLY, WE WERE TALKING EARLIER ABOUT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HOW LONG THEY'VE LIVED HERE.
I'VE LIVED IN, I DON'T LIVE IN KYLE, LIVE IN SAN MARCUS, BUT I'VE LIVED IN HASTE COUNTY FOR 30 YEARS OR SO NOW I'M JUST DOWN THE ROAD.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COMES UP ON 20 MINUTES AWAY, LORD LORD MILLET AND I 35 WILLING I CAN BE HERE TO HELP FROM A CONTRACTOR PERSPECTIVE.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S IMPLIED THAT THEY WILL RESTORE RIGHT AWAY.
M U E P U S TO, UH, AND SURROUNDING PROPERTY TO THE SAME SHAPE OR CONDITION THAT WAS PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION STARTING.
UH, AFTER ALL CONSTRUCTION WORK HAS COMPLETED, WE DO USE AT AND T TELCO BADGED EMPLOYEES, DESPISE FIBER.
A LOT OF THE OPTIC NETWORK IS CONNECT ARRISED MEANING IT'S PLUG AND PLAY.
SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE SOME SPLICE POINTS WITHIN THE NETWORK, GENERALLY ON LATERALS THAT ARE GOING DOWN STREETS, BUT EVERYTHING THAT IS GENERALLY MOVING THROUGH THE COMMUNITY, COMBING THROUGH THE COMMUNITY, UH, IS PLUG AND PLAY.
[00:30:01]
TERMINALS THAT CONNECT TO THE MAIN INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE FIBER IT'S PLUG AND PLAY, THEY GOT TO TELL, AND WE PUT TERMINALS IN THE TERMINALS, FEED THE CUSTOMERS HOME, UH, AFTER THAT'S DONE, WE TURN IT UP AND WE SUPPLY PROVIDE BROADBAND TO THE COMMUNITY OR TO THE CUSTOMERS.HOW DO WE SUPPORT THE BUILD? THIS IS A BIG ONE.
I'M SURE WHERE THE INTEREST IS AGAIN, UH, WITH APPLY COLLATERAL 48 TO 96 HOURS BEFORE ANY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY START.
UH, WE LOVE TO LEVERAGE THE HOS AND THE SOCIAL MEDIA, UH, PLATFORMS THAT THEY BRING WITH THEM.
SO I THINK THE CITY DURING OUR INITIAL MEETING SAID, WE CAN PARTNER ON HOA CONTACTS, WHICH WE LOVE TO DO.
UH, OBVIOUSLY THE DAMAGE PREVENTION AND MITIGATION IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO THE AT AND T.
AND THEN WE DO LEVERAGE AN EXPERIENCE VENDOR POOL THAT WE UTILIZE IN AUSTIN.
I SAY IT, BUT IT'S NOT THE EASIEST PLACE TO WORK IN, IN AUSTIN.
AND WE WILL USE THOSE SAME RESOURCES AND CONTRACTORS THAT WE UTILIZE FOR THIS SAME KIND OF BUILD OUT IN AUSTIN.
IN KYLE, UH, THE TIGHT CONSTRUCTION HELP DESK.
IT'S A MANAGER TEAM LOCATED IN TEXAS.
UH, AND ON THE BACK OF THE DOOR HANGER, WHO'S A LOCAL NUMBER.
IT WILL TAKE YOU TO A GENTLEMAN NAMED JOSE MORALES.
UH, HE'S LOCATED IN THE DFW AREA, BUT HE HAS DIRECT CONTACT, DIRECT CONTROL OVER THE VENDOR THEMSELVES.
SO IF A CUSTOMER HAS AN INQUIRY, WHETHER IT'S ABOUT THE FIBER PRODUCT ITSELF, THE ACTIVITY THAT'S TAKEN PLACE, UH, IN THE COMMUNITY, A RESTORABLE CONCERN, UH, TAMMY'S CONCERN.
I WILL TELL YOU THE MOST DAMAGES.
WE WILL SEE OUR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS. SO THAT'S THE BIG ONE, GENERALLY NOT GAS, NOT POWER, NOT WATER LINES, BUT IT'S THE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS THAT WE GENERALLY GET CAUSE THEY CAN'T BE LOCATED.
UH, SO JOSE HANDLES ALL THE INQUIRIES WITH THE CUSTOMER.
THEN HE MANAGES THAT THROUGH THE VENDOR AND THE CONTRACT COORDINATOR, UH, ON THE CONSTRUCTION HELP DESK.
EACH CUSTOMER INQUIRY IS ODOR RESPONSE AND INITIAL RESPONSE WITHIN 24 HOURS.
AFTER THAT, WE TRY TO RESTORE CORRECT ANY KIND OF DAMAGES WITHIN 14 DAYS, 14 CALENDAR DAYS, NOT BUSINESS DAYS, BUT 14 CALENDAR DAYS.
SO ALL RESTORILS DAMAGES EVERYTHING BACK TO THE WAY THEY WERE WITHIN 14 DAYS.
AND AGAIN, WE'D LOVE TO LEVERAGE THE HOS CAUSE THAT GETS THE CONSTRUCTION HELP DESK NUMBER OUT THERE, THE CONTACTS OUT THERE, UH, DOOR HANGERS, YOU KNOW, KIDS RUN OFF WITH THEM, WIND BLOWS THEM AWAY, WHATEVER, ANY WAY THAT WE CAN GET THE CONSTRUCTION, HELP THAT'S CONTACTS OUT THERE.
WE WANT TO LEVERAGE THAT OPPORTUNITY NEXT SLOT.
OR AT LEAST THERE'S TWO OF US.
UH, UH, I'LL TURN IT OVER IN JUST A SECOND, BUT I'LL SAY THAT THERE'S NOTHING THERE'S BEEN, MAYBE COSTCO WOULD BE THE NUMBER ONE REQUEST, BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, THE MOST REQUESTED THING IS, IS FOR OPTIONS TO BE PROVIDED TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR INTERNET.
SO, UH, FOR A LONG TIME, PEOPLE HAVE FELT THAT, THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH OPTIONS FOR THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED.
AND SO VERY GLAD TO SEE YOU HERE FROM THAT STANDPOINT, DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR, UM, UH, DATA, MOBILE, MOBILE DATA AND CALLS, CALL SERVICE GOING ON RIGHT NOW? IT'S LIKE NOTHING I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE, AS FAR AS US BETTER WORK IN PROGRESS FROM A WIRELESS PERSPECTIVE AS WELL.
WE'VE GOT SOME NEW SITE BUILDS BETTER ON PLAN FOR 2022.
I THINK ONE TO THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF TOWN, ONE, TWO OR ONE TO THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF TOWN, ONE OF THE EAST SIDE OF 35, WHICH SHOULD HELP WITH SOME OF THE CAPACITY ISSUES IN COW.
IT'S A TWO-YEAR BUILD-OUT ON THE WIRELESS SIDE.
THE GROWTH IS TREMENDOUS HERE.
WE UNDERSTAND WE HAVE CAPACITY ISSUES ON THE WIRELESS SIDE.
WE ARE TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH IT.
IT'S JUST, THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING ON.
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, UM, JUST REAL QUICK.
UM, I WOULDN'T BE JUSTIFIED IN DO THIS, SO, UH, BUT YOU'VE KIND OF ANSWERED IT ALREADY.
THE QUESTION I WAS ASKED ALL THE PROVIDENCE COMMUNITY, JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE ADDRESS ANY ISSUES THAT COME BEFORE YOU FROM THE CITIZENS IN A TIMELY MANNER, MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY HAS CONTACT INFORMATION, KELLY YOU'RE LOCAL.
UH, WE GET THAT YOUR INFORMATION TO THE REST OF THE COUNCIL WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE THEY GET SOME CONCERNS FROM A RESIDENT OR DISTRICT.
UM, IT'S I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY THING WE'VE EVER EXPERIENCED WAS WHEN CONSTRUCTION COMES IN, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING'S PUT BACK IN PLACE THE WAY IT WAS WHEN YOU GOT THERE.
SO THAT'S THE ONLY CONCERN THAT COUNCIL REALLY IS HELD.
[00:35:01]
AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TO KYLE.I KNOW OUR MATTER IT, UH, DIRECTOR WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE SPEEDS.
SO THAT'S ABOVE MY PAY GRADE, BUT HE WAS REALLY EXCITED WHEN HE MET, HE GETS EXCITED.
HE DIDN'T GET EXCITED ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS, BUT HE WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE SPEED.
SO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TO KYLE.
IF THERE'S AREAS OF INTEREST FROM THE COUNCIL, I KNOW THE STAFF HAS HAD TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THIS.
SO MY HAZARD AREAS OF INTEREST THAT THEY WANT TO COMMUNICATE TO THE STAFF OVER TO AT AND T AND TO ME AND MYSELF, I HAD TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AS WELL.
THAT'S TOBY'S YES, REAL QUICK.
UM, DURING THE COVID LOCKDOWN, THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING FROM HOME.
AND I REMEMBER RECEIVING AN EMAIL LAST YEAR ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE GOING TO GET MORE PROVIDERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS NOW LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE COMPETING WITH POSSIBLY ANOTHER ONE.
AND HOPEFULLY THERE'LL BE SOME COMPETITIVE RATES FOR RESIDENTS TO START LOOKING INTO YOUR SERVICES.
CAUSE WHEN YOU'RE SPINNING ON YOUR PHONE AND YOUR COMPUTER DURING FANTASY FOOTBALL, HE AIN'T GOT NO CONNECTION.
UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA REALLY HELP TO BE ABLE TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE OTHER PROVIDERS OUT THERE THAT COULD BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THIS.
MA'AM UM, SO A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
UH, WHAT PART OF THE CITY DO YOU ALL PLAN ON STARTING? AND DO YOU ALREADY HAVE A, UM, A TOTAL LAYOUT IN WHICH WAYS YOU ALL WILL BE GOING? WE DO HAVE ASSETS IN PLACE, ALREADY EXISTING ASSETS THAT ARE SERVING WIRELESS ASSET.
SO, UH, I WILL SAY GENERALLY SPEAKING THE EAST SIDE OF 35, UH, PERHAPS HOMETOWN KYLE AND EVERYTHING IN THAT GENERAL AREA.
AND WE DO HAVE A LAYOUT, UH, KIND OF THE STRATEGY THAT WE WANT TO GO FORWARD WITH, WHETHER DISCUSS THAT WITH THE CITY AND THE COUNCIL, MAYBE OFFLINE.
I DON'T, I MEAN, I COULD DISCUSS IT NOW, BUT I WANT TO REVEAL THE TOTAL STRATEGY IN A PUBLIC FORUM.
IF THAT'S AN APPROPRIATE ANSWER, IT'S A VERY, IT'S A VERY COMPETITIVE BUSINESS.
SO, SO WE CAN GET A LITTLE BIT LEERY ABOUT GETTING TOO, TOO SPECIFIC IN A PUBLIC FORUM.
I'M STILL GONNA ASK THE QUESTIONS.
UH, SO IF YOU ALL COULD SHARE THAT WITH THE CITY.
SO AT LEAST WE HAVE THAT INTERNALLY, UM, THAT I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND REQUIRED.
UH, SO AS COUNCIL MEMBER TO BE, AS UH, MENTIONED EARLIER, WE HAVE HAD TWO ADDITIONAL, UH, SERVICE PROVIDERS COME IN WITHIN THE LAST HANDFUL OF MONTHS THIS YEAR.
UH, SO THIS WOULD BE THE FOURTH BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAD ONE.
UH, SO I ASKED YOU THE SAME QUESTION.
I ASKED THE OTHERS BEFORE, BECAUSE FOR A LONG TIME, I'VE LIVED IN THE CITY FOR A DOZEN YEARS.
UH, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF FOLKS THAT HAVE, UH, MISUNDERSTOOD THAT THERE'S A, WAS AN EXCLUSIVITY AGREEMENT BETWEEN WHY THERE WASN'T ADDITIONAL INTERNET PROVIDERS, UH, FOR, UH, UH, CON UH, ADDITIONAL SERVICE AND OPTIONS.
SO I'LL ASK YOU ALL THE SAME QUESTION.
UH, WHAT TOOK YOU TO THIS POINT, UH, OR HOW LONG TO GET TO THIS POINT, UH, FOR COMING TO KYLE? WELL, I MEAN, IT WAS, LOOK, IT WAS FINANCIAL ANALYSIS DRIVEN BY LACK OF COMPETITION IN THE AREA.
THAT'S, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT IT REVOLVED AROUND.
THE MAJORITY OF HAYES COUNTY IS, IS OUTSIDE ATTC SERVICE FOOTPRINT.
SO THAT'S WHY OTHER THAN OTHER THAN WIRELESS, WE HAVE NOT HAD MUCH OF A PRESENCE HERE UP UNTIL NOW, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN, WE CAN SEE THE GROWTH THAT'S GONE HERE.
WE CAN SEE THE JOB THAT, THAT THE COUNTY IN THE SYDNEY OF KYLE HAS DONE TO BRING NEIL, NOT JUST GROWTH, BUT, BUT TO BRING IN THE RIGHT KIND OF GROWTH, COSTCO, BORING COMPANY, ALL THESE THINGS ARE GOING ON HERE.
WE SEE THIS IN THIS, YOU KNOW, EVEN OUTSIDE OUR, THE SCREEN OR NOT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, IT WAS, IT'S LIKE, HEY, WE NEED TO BE HERE.
SO THAT THAT'S REALLY WHAT BROUGHT US HERE.
WE SAY ALL THAT, NO, YOU ACTUALLY USUALLY ACTUALLY SPOKE LOUD ENOUGH THAT IT, THE MIC PICKED IT UP.
CERTAINLY THAT WAS THE ANSWER I WAS EXPECTING AS WELL.
UM, JUST THE POINT IS BEING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING, THE CITY WAS PREVENTING FROM INTERNET PROVIDERS COMING HERE.
IT WAS A BUSINESS DECISION THAT NEEDED TO BE MADE ON TOP OF GROWTH AND ALL THESE OTHER ASPECTS AND VARIABLES THAT NEEDED TO CHECK YOU ALL AS BOXES TO MAKE YOU COME HERE.
THAT THAT'S THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE.
NEXT STEP CITY MANAGERS REPORT.
MAYOR COUNCIL, SCOTT SELLERS FOR THE RECORD.
WE'LL WAIT FOR THAT REPORT TO COME UP ON SCREEN.
[00:40:02]
ALL RIGHT.THE FIRST ITEM IS, UH, JUST A, AN UPDATE THAT, UH, THE CITY DID RECEIVE AN AWARD FOR LAVERDE PARK, UH, FOR THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT FROM THE AMERICAN SOCIETY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS.
AND, UH, THEY DID PRODUCE A LITTLE BOOKLET IN A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF WENT TO AN AWARD CEREMONY IN SAN ANTONIO.
SO THIS IS THE BOOKLET I'LL HAND US ACROSS THE DIASPORA.
YOU CAN SEE WE'RE PROMINENTLY FEATURED IN THE BOOK.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE WHO ATTENDED WANTS TO SAY ANYTHING.
UNFORTUNATELY, I WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE A DUE TO A EMERGENCY IN THE COMPANY.
I WORKED FOR COUNCIL MEMBER ELLISON, ANYTHING.
WERE YOU ASKING ME ON THE LIBERA DAY PROJECT? YES, SIR.
UH, NO, UH, CERTAINLY EXCITED THAT WE WERE ABLE TO, UH, WIN THAT AWARD.
UH, IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE THERE AND, UH, AMONGST OTHER MANY GREAT PROJECTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE AND OTHER, UH, EVEN OUTSIDE THE STATE.
AND SO TO HAVE A PROJECT HERE IN KYLE, THAT WE WERE SUCH A HUGE PART OF AND DESIGNING, UH, THANKS FOR OUR TEAMMATES AT MOUNT MARK AND, UH, LIONHEART AND SO IT'S REALLY EXCITED TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR OUR DESIGN.
HOPEFULLY, MAYBE WE'LL COME BACK AND GET ONE FOR THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF IT AS WELL.
UM, I JUST HAVE, UM, A QUESTION, CAUSE I READ ABOUT THAT IN AN EMAIL.
SO MY QUESTION IS HOW DO WE GET CHOSEN? DO WE HAVE TO SUBMIT SOMETHING? THERE WAS A COMPETITIVE APPLICATION THAT A LIONHEART SUBMITTED ON BEHALF OF THE CITY.
SO IT'S AN AWARD FOR THE ENGINEERING.
UM, AND THEN I SEE EVERYBODY WHO WENT, IS THERE A REASON WHY MARIANO DIDN'T GO? SHE WAS LIKE, OKAY.
CAUSE, OR JERRY, I GUESS I'M CONFUSED AS TO, UM, DID, I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WORKS OUT.
SO WAS THERE AN INVITE FOR EVERYBODY? YEAH, I BELIEVE SO.
SO, AND PARKS JUST DIDN'T WANT TO GO.
THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY IS GOING TO BE WELL, I'M JUST GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT.
A GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY IS MAY 10TH AT 11:00 AM UPON SITE.
SO THIS IS UP IN PLUM CREEK AND EVERYONE IS INVITED.
SO A LOT OF WORK TO BRING NITRO AND WE'RE VERY, VERY EXCITED FOR THEM TO HAVE CHOSEN KYLE AS HOME.
UH, WE THEN NEXT ITEM IS THE BUDGET WORK SESSION, WHICH IS MAY 12TH.
UH, THIS IS A PUBLIC MEETING THAT WILL BE HELD HERE IN THIS ROOM AND WILL BE BROADCAST.
AND THEN FINALLY, UH, CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP, UH, THIS IS THE TERS TRAINING, WHICH WILL BE HELD MAY 16TH.
AND, UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT SET 7:00 PM ALSO IN THIS ROOM AND WILL BE BROADCAST AS WELL.
SO PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL THOSE EVENTS ARE ON YOUR CALENDAR.
NEXT UP, WE HAVE AMBER TO TALK ABOUT THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, AMBER LEWIS, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FOR THE RECORD.
UM, WE ARE CONTINUING DOWN OUR PATH TO CREATING THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN.
UM, THE SURVEY IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THROUGH MAY.
SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT.
UH, WE RECENTLY WRAPPED UP THE COMMUNITY EVENTS, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT COMPONENT OF THE PLAN, AND THEN STARTING IN JUNE, THE ARCHITECTS WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP THE PLAN, WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE FEEDBACK THAT WAS GARNERED DURING THIS PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS.
UM, I GUESS, UM, I JUST, MY ONLY QUESTION IS, ARE WE GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE 2019 DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN? DO YOU MEAN INCORPORATE IT? YES.
UM, I'M SURE THEY WILL BE REFERENCING IT.
UM, BUT I, I, I THINK IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IMAGINED
[00:45:01]
AS WHAT, YOU KNOW, 20, 22 ONCE FOR DOWNTOWN, I THINK NEW, NEW FROM NEW IDEAS, NEW PEOPLE, NEW FEEDBACK, RIGHT? YEAH.MY HOPE IS DEFINITELY THAT WHATEVER WE DO THAT WE MOVE FORWARD ON ASAP BECAUSE, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME MAJOR CHANGES DOWN HERE TOO, TO GET PEOPLE, TO BRING THEM TO, TO THE DOWNTOWN.
AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT LOSING SIGHT OF PREVIOUS, UM, ASSESSMENTS THAT WE'VE MADE AND JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INCORPORATE THEM SINCE THEY WERE PAID FOR IN THEIR LISTING, LIKE THREE YEARS OLD.
CAUSE I THINK IT WAS DECEMBER OF 2019.
SO ESSENTIALLY EARLY 2020, I KNOW THAT THE CHAMBER WAS REALLY INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE, THOSE TALKS BACK THEN.
AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE SHARED ALL OF THAT INFORMATION WITH THE FIRM AND THAT WILL BE INCORPORATED AS WELL.
YOU BACK SAMANTHA AND BREWSTER, I'M JUST HERE TO GIVE AN UPDATE THAT THE TRANSLATION BUTTON ON OUR WEBSITE IS NOW LIVE.
SO ACROSS EVERY PAGE, IF YOU GO TO CITY OF KYLE.COM, THERE IS NOW A BUTTON THAT SAYS IN ESPANOL AND DOES TRANSLATE ALL THE PAGES INTO SPANISH AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
THERE IS ANOTHER TRANSLATION OPTION THAT HAS EIGHT DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AVAILABLE AS WELL.
DO WE LOSE OUR SCREEN? SCREEN-SHARE THERE WE GO.
MARIN COUNCIL, JEFF BARNETT, CHIEF POLICE, UM, TEXAS LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS A LONGSTANDING HISTORY OF SUPPORTING THE TEXAS SPECIAL OLYMPICS.
AND WITH THAT, I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE HAYES COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN WILL TAKE PLACE.
WE WILL BEGIN AT 7:00 AM AT THE COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT OUT FRONT.
WE'LL HAVE A FEW WORDS BEFORE WE BEGIN THE RUN.
IT STARTS PROMPTLY AT 7:30 AM.
IT WILL TRAVEL SOUTHWARD TO THE SAN MARCUS FIRE DEPARTMENT STATION NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF SAN MARCUS.
THIS, UH, TORCH RUN IS SPECIFICALLY SPONSORED BY ALL OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES HERE IN HAYS COUNTY AND SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING THE COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE SAN MARCUS POLICE DEPARTMENT, ALL OF THE COUNTY ENTITIES.
AND I NEED TO HIGHLIGHT THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY BECAUSE THEY WERE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THIS EVENT AS WELL.
AND THIS IS ALL IN SUPPORT OF THE CEREMONIES FOR THE TEXAS SPECIAL OLYMPICS THAT WILL TAKE PLACE MAY THE 13TH IN SAN ANTONIO, THE TOYOTA FIELD.
UH, COULD YOU EXPLAIN THE RUN A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT IS THE ROUTE FOR EACH PARTICIPANT? DO THEY RUN FROM KYLE TO SAN MARCUS? THEY, WE, OH, THIS IS ABOUT A SIX MILE RUN FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE INTERESTED IN RUNNING AND IT IS DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO RUN.
IT'S NOT PARTICULARLY A WALK, A SLOW, SLOW JOGGERS MAY GET LEFT BEHIND AS WELL.
SO IF YOU'RE A PRETTY GOOD SPRINTER OR YOU THINK YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH A SIX MILE RUN AT A PRETTY GOOD PACE, THE REASON BEING FOR THAT IS THAT THERE'S AN ENDING CEREMONY IN SAN MARCUS, AND OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE A TIME SCHEDULE TO KEEP.
SO WHAT WE'VE PLANNED TO DO WHEN WE LEAVE THE COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL TRAVEL SOUTHWARD AND CROSS CENTER STREET.
WE WERE CROSSED THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND INNER OLD HIGHWAY 81, UH, NEAR THE POSSES RESTAURANT.
AND THEN THEY WILL CONTINUE ON 81 TO WHERE THEY MEET THE, UH, AT 35 ACCESS ROAD.
THEY WILL STAY ON THE 35 ACCESS ROAD ALL THE WAY TO THE SAN MARCUS FIRE DEPARTMENT STATION.
NUMBER FIVE, THERE'LL BE ESCORTED BY NUMEROUS LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES TO KEEP EVERYBODY SAFE FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT WANT TO JOIN US FOR THE OPENING CEREMONY TOP OUR PORTION OF THE EVENT.
YOU'RE WELCOME TO JOIN US IN FRONT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A STOPPING POINT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T REALLY HAVE THE TIME OR OUR DESIRE TO RUN SIX MILES THAT MORNING.
IT'S GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE AROUND THE THREE QUARTER TO ONE MILE MARK.
IT'LL BE BEFORE YOU GET ON THE ACCESS ROAD, THERE'LL BE A PLACE THAT YOU CAN STOP AND TURN AROUND AND MAKE YOUR WAY BACK TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, TO YOUR VEHICLES OR WORKSTATION, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
SO IT'S ACTUALLY OPEN TO EVERYONE.
THOSE WHO CONTINUE BEYOND THAT POINT, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE GOING TO RUN ABOUT SIX MILES AND WE NEED THEM TO BE THERE BEFORE EIGHT 30.
SO YOU'VE GOT LESS THAN AN HOUR TO, TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
TH THANK YOU FOR THAT ONE MILE OR I'M NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT ONE.
MANASSEH ARIANA SPINOSA PARKS VERSION DIRECTOR.

UH, WE'RE WAITING FOR AS-BUILTS FROM THE CONTRACTOR.
WE HAVE A WALKTHROUGH PLANNED FOR TOMORROW.
UH, DO YOU WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT, UH, THERE'S STILL ONE MORE FACE TO THIS PROJECT? UH, WE HAVE TWO LIFT STATIONS THAT WE NEED TO DECOMMISSION.
WHEN IS, UH, UH, UH, SOUTH LAKE AND THE OTHER ONE IS AT BENTON CREEK VILLAGE, AND THAT'S GONNA BE, UM, A GOOD SURPRISE FOR THE PUBLIC PARKS DEPARTMENT TO GET RID OF THOSE TWO LIFT STATIONS, WHOLE POST ROAD, THE HAYES COUNTY, UH, CREWS HAD STARTED AT THE NORTH END AT, UH, F150 AND THEY'RE WORKING THEIR WAY BACK TOWARDS THE, UM, UH, REST OF THE SECTION THAT'S BEEN COMPLETED ALREADY.
UH, WE HAVE SEVERAL ROADS THAT ARE CLOSED AND THROUGH TRAFFIC IT'S PRETTY OUT THERE, WENT OUT THERE TODAY AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT ROUGH, BUT THEY GOT THIRD STREET CLOSED FROM SCOTT TO SLEDGE.
THEY HAVE SLED STREET FROM, UH, J MARS TO SECOND STREET AND GROVE STREET FROM SECOND TO THIRD STREET.

UH, THE WASTEWATER LINE ON HIGHWAY 81 IS COMPLETE AND WE'RE EXPECTING TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT COMPLETELY IN FALL OF 2022 ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS. NUMBER EIGHT IS A TASK ORDER TO LJ ENGINEERING FOR SOME GEO-TECHNICAL WORK THAT WE NEED DONE.
WE'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT THREE BORES IN THERE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF SOULS WE HAVE SINCE THE LAST TIME WE DID THAT PROJECT IN THAT AREA, WE RAN INTO SOME REALLY HARD ROCKS.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE CAN IDENTIFY THAT BEFORE WE GET STARTED, UH, CHANGE ORDER.
NUMBER NINE IS OF COURSE THE WORK THAT WE DID FOR THE EDWARDS TO, UH, BUSINESSES ARE WHERE WE WANT TO TIE THEM INTO THAT EIGHT INCH WATERLINE OF WASTEWATER LINE THAT'S BEHIND THEIR PROPERTY.
UH, NUMBER 10 IS A RARE EARTH RISING BRC COATINGS TO START WORKING ON PUMP CREEK, ELEVATED STORAGE, AND WE HAVE ALL THE REQUIRED BREAK FOR WORK FROM THEM IN OUR FILES.
SO WE'RE READY TO GO ON THAT PROJECT.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I DID WANT TO MENTION ONE THING.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GOT CALLS OR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NORTHBOUND FRONTAGE ROAD, NOT 35 BEING CLOSED LAST TUESDAY.
I BELIEVE I FOUND THAT OUT THE HARD WAY.
UM, I DID TALK TO, UH, UH, WILLISON MAURO.
HE'S THE AREA ENGINEER FOR, UH, TEXTILE.
HE SAID THEY PLAN TO HAVE IT OPEN BY FRIDAY.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR GO AHEAD.
WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK WAS ON THAT ROAD.
UH, I COULDN'T GOT IT FROM MY FAMILY MEMBERS AS WELL, SO IT'S COMING FROM ALL
[00:55:01]
SIDES, BUT YEAH.THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE AND THANK YOU FOR WORKING ON THAT.
SO DILIGENTLY AND THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT DETAIL REPORT.
UM, ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT, NEXT STEP
[V. Consent Agenda]
IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.WE NEED TO PULL, UH, ITEM 16 TO POSTPONE TO, UH, LATER.
IS THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS THAT, UH, COUNCIL WANTS TO PULL? COUNCILMEMBER PARSLEY COUNCILOR, ALISON, UH, I WAS GOING TO PULL 13 AS WELL.
ANYONE ELSE COMES TO ME OR FLOOR SCALE? 1220 AND 21.
ANYONE ELSE? UM, WELL, TWELVES ARE GETTING BOLDER.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 17, 18 19.
AND THAT IS ALL MOVED BY THE MAYOR.
SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER FLORES KILLS THEIR DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
[VI. Items Pulled from Consent Agenda]
ITEM 10, UH, AUTHORIZE AWARD AND EXECUTION OF A PURCHASE ORDER, UH, TO BRC COATINGS BY AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 275,000, WHICH INCLUDES 10% CONTINGENCY TO PERFORM ALL WORK REQUIRED FOR THE REHABILITATION OF PLUM CREEK ELEVATED STORAGE TANK.UH, THIS IS UH, MR. BARBARA'S ITEM, COUNCILMEMBER PARSLEY.
UM, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
UM, HOW OFTEN DO WE PERFORM PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ON THESE THINGS? IF, IF WE, IF WE DO ANY COUNCIL MEMBER IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE THAT TANK HAS HAD ANY MAINTENANCE ON IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I SAY ACTUALLY WHEN I GOT HERE IN 2013, UH, ONE OF THE FIRST TANKS THAT WE WERE WORKING ON WAS THAT, UH, UH, THE VETERANS DRIVE AT THE CENTER STREET.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TANKS THAT WE HAD WORKED ON COUNCIL AT THAT POINT IN TIME, DECIDED WE NEED TO DO SOME MAJOR MAINTENANCE ON OUR WATER TANKS.
SO ONE BY ONE, EVERY YEAR WE'VE TAKEN ONE OF OUR TANKS DOWN AND REHABBED IT INTO RECODED THE TANK.
SO, UH, THIS IS, UH, ON OUR LIST OF TANKS THAT WE'VE HAD TO REPAIR.
SO I W I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOATS FENCES AT THE TANK SET ANY WORK DONE TO IT.
UH, POET WORKS MAY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, BUT I DO KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE TO BREAK THESE TANKS AND RECODE THEM REHAB, REHABILITATE THEM TO MEET THE NEW STANDARDS THE TCEQ PUTS OUT.
SO THE NEXT TANK WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON, IT WILL BE LAYMEN.
THAT'S GONNA BE THE NEXT THING.
SO WE HAD A LIST OF PROJECTS AND WE'RE NEAR THE END OF THOSE PROJECTS.
SO ABOUT HOW OFTEN DO WE HAVE TO REHABILITATE A TANK? UM, THAT'S HARD TO SAY WE, WE, UH, WE DO IT, UH, IF I MAY BE INCORRECT ON THIS, BUT I THINK PELLET PURSE DOES A STUDY EVERY YEAR ON THOSE TANKS.
THEY HAVE SOMEBODY TEST THOSE TANKS TO LOOK THOSE TANKS AND DO TESTING ON THEM AND DOES INSPECTIONS ON THOSE TANKS, DEPENDING ON HOW SERIOUS THEY ARE, THEN IT MAY JUST BE ABLE TO WAIT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT WE DO HAVE A BUDGET SET ASIDE EVERY YEAR TO WORK IN THOSE TANKS.
AND WHEN WE DO FIND PROBLEMS, WE DO ACT QUICKLY AS WE CAN.
THIS ONE GOT DELAYED BECAUSE OF THE, UH, EQUIPMENT THAT VERIZON HAD ON THERE.
UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE DONE THIS MAYBE A YEAR OR SO AGO, BUT WE GOT DELAYED BECAUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT NEEDS TO COME OFF THERE.
AND SO THAT WE CAN DO THE ACTUAL WORK ON THE TANK.
UM, AND SO WHAT ARE THE DAMAGED AREAS? WHAT IS THE MOST, UM, THE CRITICAL POINTS, MAINLY IT'S RUST.
UH, YOU HAVE DE LAMINATION INSIDE THE TANK SOMETIMES, BUT TYPICALLY IT'S EASILY RUSTED.
THE BANK STARTS ERODING AWAY, JUST LIKE A HOUSE.
YOU NEED TO KEEP PAINTING THOSE AND TOUCHING UP AS YOU GO THROUGH, UH, THAT'S MAJOR COST RIGHT NOW.
ACTUALLY OUR COSTS ARE GOING DOWN.
WE'RE NOT PAYING AS MUCH FOR THESE TANKS FROM THE FIRST ONE, THE FIRST TANKS WE DID WERE MAJOR NEED OF REPAIR.
SO THE COST HAVE BEEN COMING DOWN OVER THE YEARS.
SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE A LOT OF WORK BE DONE ON THE NEXT TANKS, BECAUSE WE DID PUT THEM IN PRIORITY ORDERS TO WHICH ONES ARE WORST TANKS.
SO WE'RE GETTING NEAR THE END OF OUR CYCLE.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.
YEAH, IT'S KIND OF, I WOULD JUST WANT IT TO KNOW WHAT'S THE COAT LIFE EXPECTANCY AND SEE HOW OFTEN CAN WE GO AHEAD AND INSPECT THE TANKS BEFORE HE GETS TO THE POINT THAT WE HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE, UM, REHABILITATION AND THEN PAY $275,000 FOR THAT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY THAT WE CAN ESTABLISH M THIS PREVENTIVE MEASURES GO EVERY SIX MONTHS AND SEE IF WE CAN RECLOSE BEFORE HE GETS RUSTED AGAIN, UM, TO GET TO THIS POINT, THESE COATINGS THAT WE'RE PUTTING ON A VERY EXPENSIVE, AND WE EXPECT THEM TO LAST 10 TO 15 YEARS OR LONGER, BUT WE STILL NEED TO INSPECT THEM ON A ROUTINE BASIS.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 10, PLEASE MOVED BY COUNCILMAN PARSLEY.
SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM RIZZO THAT WE PROVE AGENDA ITEM 10.
IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM 12 APPROVAL LEASE
[01:00:01]
AGREEMENT BETWEEN CAP COG AND THE CITY OF KYLE, UH, FOR AN AIR QUALITY MONITORING STATION TO BE PLACED AT LAKE KYLE.THIS IS KATHY ROKER CUSTOMER FULL-SCALE.
I'M MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEM COUNCIL MEMBERS, CATHY RIKER FOR THE RECORD.
UM, I WAS PRETTY EXCITED READING ALL THIS AND SO I PULLED IT BECAUSE I WANT TO GET, I JUST WANT YOU TO, TO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO EVERYBODY WHAT IT IS AND, UM, WHAT'S GONNA GO ON OVER THERE.
UH, CAP CALLED THE CLEANER COALITION HAS MULTIPLE, UM, AIR QUALITY MONITORING STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CAPE COD REGION, WHICH WILLIAMSON ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HAZE OUT.
IT'S A, IT'S A FAIRLY LARGE REGION.
UH, THEY DON'T HAVE AS MANY STATIONS AS THEY WOULD LIKE.
UM, AND THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY WANTING SOMETHING IN BETWEEN AUSTIN AND THERE IS ONE IN SAN MARCUS.
SO REALLY KYLE BUDA WAS AN IDEAL LOCATION.
SO THEY WERE LOOKING AT US, UM, THOSE TWO CITIES.
AND SO WE SET ASIDE TIME AND KEPT CALLING UP A GROUP, CAME DOWN AND MET WITH ME.
AND I SHOWED HIM THE LOCATIONS THAT I THOUGHT WOULD MEET THE PARAMETERS.
AND THEN THEY WENT AND THEY MET WITH BUDA AND AFTER LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT SITES, THEY PICKED KYLE.
SO IT WAS A WIN ON OUR PART AND THEY REALLY WANTED IT.
SO I KIND OF FELT GOOD THOUGH.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION I SEE IN THERE THEY DISCUSS, UM, THE 40 AMP ELECTRICITY HOOKUP.
AND I WAS WONDERING, CAUSE I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOME OUTLETS IN THAT PARK.
SO IS THERE AN OUTLET OUT THERE OR HOW WERE THEY GOING TO USE THAT? THERE IS A POLL OUT THERE RIGHT NOW THAT'S UM, CLOSE TO LAYMAN ROAD AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE DETERMINING FACTORS.
UM, AND IDEALLY THE, THE STATION I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT EVENTUALLY KIND OF MOVE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE FENCE LINE.
UH, BUT BECAUSE OF THE DAM CONSTRUCTION, UM, YOU KNOW, WE COULDN'T PUT IT OVER THERE IN THAT AREA.
SO THERE IS A UTILITY POLE THAT'S ALREADY OUT THERE.
WE DID MEET WITH, UM, A STAFF ELECTRICIAN OUT ONSITE AND, YOU KNOW, HE STATED THAT IT WOULDN'T BE ANY PROBLEM WHATSOEVER RUNNING A 40 AMP SERVICE FROM THAT POLE AND USING THAT POLE FOR THE SERVICE.
AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT ELECTRICITY OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT I'M AFRAID OF IT FOR THE MOST PART.
AND WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 12, PLEASE MOVE BY A CUSTOMER FLOOR, KALE SINGING ABOUT MAYOR PRO TEM RESILIA WE APPROVED AGENDA ITEM 12 A, IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION OF MY POTENTIAL? UH, KATHY.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU'VE DONE WITH THIS.
UM, AND THIS ACTUALLY FIRST CAME FORWARD WHEN A RESIDENT REACHED OUT TO ME, UH, DR.
MICHELLE COHEN REACHED OUT TO ME ONE DAY AND ASKED WHAT WAS OUR AIR QUALITY STUDY? THE LAST ONE THAT COULD SEE OF CALL HAD DONE.
AND WHEN I REACHED OUT TO THE STAFF FOUND OUT WE HAD NEVER HAD ONE DONE.
SO MY NEXT PHONE CALL WAS TO THE CAP CALLED CLEAN AIR COALITION STAFF.
AND THEY STARTED, UM, GOING OVER, YOU KNOW, THE PROCEDURE FOR DOING A CLEAN AIR STUDY.
AND THEN THEY TALKED ABOUT PUTTING IN A MONITORING STATION.
SO THIS IS WHERE THE ORIGINAL, UH, TALKS WERE STARTED.
AND YES, YOU KNOW, REALLY WANTED IT REALLY BAD.
I STARTED WITH THE MAYOR PRO TEM FROM BUDA THERE ON THE CAP COG AND, UH, THEY WERE REALLY PUSHING FORWARD AS WELL.
BUT, UH, THANK YOU FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR REALLY BRINGING ALL THE LOGISTICS AND ALL THE INFORMATION THEY NEEDED TO SEE IT COME HERE AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE STUDY AS WELL.
ANYONE ELSE? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
NEXT STEP AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 13, APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BOND BETWEEN THE BORING COMPANY AND THE CITY OF KYLE.
I THINK MULTIPLE PEOPLE WANTED TO REQUEST.
SO MR. SELLERS, IF YOU WANT TO JUST PRESENT ON IT, OUR COUNCIL SCOTT SELLERS FROM BERGEN.
SO THE ITEM IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT IS TO APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE BORING COMPANY, UH, IN THE PROPOSAL THAT THE COUNCIL RECEIVED A MONTH AGO WHEN THE BORING COMPANY WAS SELECTED TO BE THE FIRM TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT, UH, THE EXHIBIT OUTLINES, SEVERAL ITEMS THAT ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THIS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT, AND THEN WHAT THE SCOPE OF WORK IS GOING TO BE FOR THE PROJECT.
SO THIS IS REALLY THE, THE FIRST AGREEMENT WITH THE BORING COMPANY.
AND THEN FOLLOWING THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE, UH, THE DESIGN BUILD AGREEMENT.
NOW I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE VIBE.
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS ALREADY TONIGHT AND ALSO, UH, SOME, SOME INQUIRIES FROM THE COMMUNITY.
SO THIS IS NOT A PROJECT THAT, UH, HAS JUST OCCURRED OVERNIGHT.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH THE DEVELOPER OF THE KYLE CROSSING DEVELOPMENT.
[01:05:01]
THE FORM OF WHAT WE CALL A TOD, WHICH IS TRAIL ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, MEANING THE ENTIRE PROJECT FOR THE VERTICAL MIXED USE FACILITIES, AS WELL AS THE RESTAURANT AND THE CENTRAL SQUARE IS BEING BUILT TO, UH, REALLY ACCENTUATE THE CITIZEN, UH, TRAIL SYSTEM THAT IS, UH, BEING, UH, DESIGNED RIGHT NOW BY SCHOMBURG AND POLK.THE VIBE TRAIL NETWORK IS ROUGHLY 80 MILES AND IS DESIGNED TO BRING, UH, RESIDENTS FROM EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY, INTO OUR COMMERCIAL AREAS, OUR PUBLIC AREAS OR PARKS, ET CETERA.
SO EVERYONE IN THE CITY KIRA WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THIS LARGE TRAIL NETWORK, UH, AND TO THE ASSOCIATED AMENITIES.
UH, ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE TUNNEL, UH, WE, WE DID LOOK AT THIS FIRST FOR EIGHT BRIDGE OF FACT, OUR FIRST INQUIRY WAS TO TXDOT FOR A SIDEWALK ON THE 1626 OVERPASS.
AND UNFORTUNATELY TXDOT DENIED OUR REQUEST.
SO THAT WAS NOT A SAFE CROSSING FOR PEDESTRIANS.
SO WE THEN BEGAN LOOKING AT IT WITH OUR ENGINEER, FROM, UH, WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD DO A, UH, AN OVERPASS, A PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS OVER THE RAILROAD, SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE DONE OVER THE RAILROAD OR MAJOR ROADWAYS.
IN THIS CASE, THERE ARE MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL LINES POLES, UH, AND, UH, A VERY HIGH VOLTAGE, I BELIEVE IT'S HUNDRED 30, EIGHT KV, HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL LINE, UH, DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS, WHICH MADE BUILDING A BRIDGE IN FEASIBLE FOR THIS AREA.
WE THEN CONSIDERED OTHER OPTIONS, UH, GOING AROUND TO THE NEAREST AT GREY CROSSING WOULD ADD, UH, MILES TO THE, THE VIBE TRAIL THROUGH HERE.
UH, ALSO WE'VE HEARD FOR QUITE SOME TIME, THE RESIDENTS ON CHROME, WELL LOOKING FOR A SAFE CROSSING, UH, OF THE RAILROAD TO GET TO THE COMMERCIAL AREAS.
UH, MANY OF THOSE RESIDENTS ARE LIMITED IN THEIR MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.
UH, SO A TUNNEL WAS, WAS DISCUSSED ENTERTAIN, AND THEN WE WENT OUT TO, UH, RFP TO SEE IF THERE WAS INTEREST FROM A TOWNLAND COMPANIES.
AT WHICH POINT, AGAIN, WE BROUGHT BACK THE BORING COMPANY PROPOSAL TO THE COUNCIL.
UH, THERE, THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT WORKING WITH UNION PACIFIC.
WE HAVE MADE UNION PACIFIC AWARE OF THIS.
UH, WE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE THEM OUT OF THE, THE PLANNING OF THIS PROJECT.
THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT DOES START THE ACTUAL, UH, PERMITTING, UH, WITH UNION PACIFIC, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE HAD PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM, UH, AND THERE THERE'S SOME CONCERN AS A RAILROAD SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE CONCERN ABOUT ANYONE, UH, WITHIN THEIR RIGHT OF WAY AND WHAT A TUNNEL PROJECT MIGHT LOOK LIKE, UH, AND HOW IT COULD DISTURB THE, THE TRACKS.
AND, UH, AS PART OF THE GEO-TECH IS AGAIN, PART OF THE WORK THAT IS IN THIS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT, UH, GEO-TECH WILL BE PERFORMED, UH, TELEMETRY WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE TRACKS THEMSELVES.
UH, AND A PROPOSAL WILL BE PRESENTED TO UNION PACIFIC, WHICH, UH, WILL HOPEFULLY SATISFY THEM THAT, UH, THEIR ATTRACTS WILL NOT BE DISTURBED AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT.
THIS WHOLE SECTION IS IN, WHAT'S CALLED THE AUSTIN CHALK, WHICH IS, UH, A GREAT SUBSTRATE AND, UH, GREAT FOR TUNNELING.
AND WE, I BELIEVE THERE'LL BE MINIMAL, UH, OR NO DISRUPTION AT ALL TO THE SURFACE DEVELOPMENT.
THE FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT COMES OUT OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER.
IT'S A $3 MILLION SET ASIDE, UH, AGAIN, A PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT DOLLARS.
SO NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE EXPENDED ON THIS TUNNEL PROJECT.
UH, THE, UH, DEVELOPER IS PLANNING TO FRONT THE $50,000 FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.
WE WILL ALSO HAVE A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, UH, AND THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT WILL BE $75,000, WHICH IS A DRAW DOWN ACCOUNT THAT A UNION PACIFIC REQUIRES FOR ALL PROJECTS.
WE HAVE THAT SAME ACCOUNT WITH OUR RAIL SIDING RELOCATION PROJECT.
SO, UH, THAT WILL ALSO BE PRE FUNDED FROM THAT $3 MILLION.
AND THEN FINALLY THE TUNNEL ITSELF, UH, AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED IN THE PAST WILL BE 12 FOOT IN DIAMETER, UH, WHERE THE PATH GOES THROUGH.
THE TUNNEL WILL BE VERY WELL LIT AND I WOULD PLAN TO HAVE CAMERAS IN THERE FOR SAFETY ALSO.
SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
AND ALSO WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES HERE FROM THE BORING COMPANY.
THANK YOU, MR. SELLERS, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THEY WANT TO ASK CUSTOMER PARSLEY?
[01:10:01]
SO YOU JUST ANSWERED MY TWO QUESTIONS.ONE WAS WHO'S PAYING FOR THEIR $50,000 A SECOND SAFETY CAUSE I WAS CONCERNED HAVING A TUNNEL, A TUNNEL, UM, ALL KINDS OF STUFF HAPPENING THERE.
SO JUST WHO IS GOING TO BE MONITORING THOSE CAMERAS THOUGH? WOULD IT BE THE CITY? IS IT GOING TO BE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND LIKE WHO WAS GOING TO BE TAKING CARE OF THAT? WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT CONVERSATION, BUT MOST LIKELY AS WITH OUR OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, WHERE WE'RE AT INSTALLING CAMERAS IN OUR PARK SYSTEM, THAT WILL COME BACK TO A CENTRAL FEED, WHICH WE MONITORED BY DISPATCH.
UM, AND SO I DO, UM, I KNOW THERE ARE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE CONCERNS AND THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE TO BRING UP THAT THE SIGN CORRECT.
AND THE STUDIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE DONE, OBVIOUSLY TO SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FIND IN THERE, WHAT THE, IF IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING DOABLE.
UM, THE NEXT QUESTION I HAD, UM, ARE WE ALLOW, ARE WE GOING TO, SINCE IT'S IN THE VIVE TRAIL, OUR GOLF CART IS GOING TO BE ALLOWED IN THERE.
CAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO FEED WITH RESIDENTS, WALK IN THE VIBE, IF IT'S SMALLER, YOU KNOW, IT'S A 10 OUT OF 12, WE DID 12 FOR SAFETY ALSO, UH, YOU KNOW, IN CASE CARTS WOULD DRIVE OFF THE SIDE OR PEOPLE WOULD BE OFF THE SIDE OF THE PATH.
TYPICAL GOLF GOLF CARD IS THREE AND A HALF TO FOUR FEET MAX.
SO THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF ROOM EVEN WITH TWO GOLF CARTS IN THERE.
UH, WE DO PLAN TO STRIPE THE CENTER LINE OF THE, THE VIBE THROUGH THE TUNNEL ALSO JUST TO HELP DELINEATE, YOU KNOW, THE PATH EAST AND WEST.
SO, UH, DEFINITELY SAFETY IS A PRIMARY CONCERN.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CUSTOMER OR FORCE COUNT? THANK YOU.
UM, SO WHERE IS THIS $3 MILLION FROM, IS IT LIKE IN AN ACCOUNT? UH, THE $3 MILLION FROM THE DEVELOPER WILL BE, UH, FROM A BOND ISSUE THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS FOR THE PROJECT.
HOWEVER, UH, THEY HAVE AGREED TO FRONT MONEY FOR THE PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT, AS WELL AS THE, UH, THE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL BE RECOUPED WHEN THE BOND IS ISSUED.
WHO'S GOING TO, WHO PAYS FOR THAT BOND? THAT'S THE DEVELOPER, THEY'RE PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION.
SO, UM, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL AND THEY SAY, YES, WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A TOWER LONG.
WILL IT TAKE TO BUILD THAT TUNNEL? I BELIEVE THE, THE MACHINE, UH, IS, IS A VERY QUICK MOVER.
SO, UH, THE, THE GOAL IS TO DO IT WITHIN A COUPLE MONTHS OF ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION.
WELL, IF IT GETS BUILT IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, WHERE WILL IT LEAD? SO THE, THE PARAMETERS OF THE TRAIL, UH, FOR OUR, FROM THAT, UH, KYLE CROSSING DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MARKETPLACE IN 1626, AND THEN THE TERMINUS WE'LL BE AT THE ROUND.
WE'RE NOT THROWING UP THE CUL-DE-SAC, UH, IN PLUM CREEK AT THE VERY, I GUESS, EASTERN EDGE OF CROMWELL DRIVE.
SO HOW WILL THAT BENEFIT? HIGH ROAD, HIGH ROAD OR ONE 50 EAST.
SO THERE WAS NO BENEFIT TO THE MAJORITY, ANY OF MY RESIDENTS REALLY.
SO THEN THE, IT SAYS THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SOME FUNDING FROM THE COUNTY.
WHAT IS THE STATUS ON THAT? I'M NOT SURE OF THE QUESTION.
UM, I THINK I JUST HAVE MAYBE ONE MORE QUESTION.
I'D LIKE TO, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE MAYOR.
THERE'S A, THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR THERE.
SECOND, IT'S MOVED BY THE MAYOR.
SECOND BY CUSTOMER BRADSHAW THAT WE PROVED AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 13.
IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION CUSTOMER TOBY'S OKAY.
UM, YES, I'VE GOT, I'VE GOT SOME AS WELL.
SO RIGHT OFF THE BAT, MR. SELLERS, YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE COMPLETE FUNDING, THE 50,000 IS GOING TO COME STRAIGHT FROM THE DEVELOPER, NOT FROM THE CITY AND THAT IS THE AGREEMENT.
AND IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OR MONTHS, WHEN THIS THING'S GOING TO BE BUILT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY CHANGE ORDERS TO WHERE WE HAVE TO TAKE UP ANY OF THAT COST.
SO THIS A PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT WILL, WILL PROVIDE A COST RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT THE TOTAL COST IS, BUT WE HAVE, UH, WHAT'S CALLED A ENGINEER OPINION OF PROBABLE COST OF
[01:15:01]
ROUGHLY 2 MILLION, 2.1 MILLION SOMEWHERE IN THERE.SO THIS JUST FIRST PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT WILL ALLOW BORING COMPANY TO GO AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S ABNORMAL, UH, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE, UH, SUBSURFACE.
AND THEN, UH, WE'LL, THEY'LL COME BACK WITH A DESIGN BUILD AGREEMENT.
A COUPLE MORE MIRROR, UM, ISSUES THAT I'VE COME UP WITH THIS, AS YOU CAN TELL, IT'S PRETTY FLAT LAND IS BY A TRAIN TRACKS.
SO NUMBER ONE, SAFETY CONCERNS ARE FLOODING.
IF THERE'S AN EVENT THAT THIS PLACE, THIS FLOODS OUT AND THERE'S PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT, AND IT STARTS RAINING.
WHAT'S THE SAFETY MEASURES ON THAT, BECAUSE AGAIN, IT'S AN UNDERGROUND TUNNEL UNDERNEATH THE TRACK.
AND THE OTHER THING WAS THE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOVE THE TRACK, HOW PEDESTRIANS SOMETIMES EVENTUALLY CRAWL UP SPACES AND TRY TO GO OVER THE TUNNEL AND SO FORTH.
UM, AND I THINK WHAT, UH, MAYBE MS. FLORES KALE WAS TRYING TO GET AT IS THE BENEFIT FOR AGAIN, PEOPLE FROM THE EAST OF KYLE, FROM WHAT I'VE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION WITH A RESIDENT, AGAIN, IS THIS IS BENEFITING A SPECIFIC PART OF TOWN.
ONCE AGAIN, IT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT.
YOU'RE DEVELOP, YOU'RE GETTING TO THE PEOPLE OF PUNK CREEK.
THE PEOPLE LOVE THE UPTOWN AREA, THE PEOPLE IN THE HOMETOWN.
AND AGAIN, THE PEOPLE FROM EAST OF KYLE AGAIN, ARE BEGINNING TO FEEL LEFT OUT WHEN WE'RE DOING THESE PROJECTS.
AND SO I'M JUST BEING THE VOICE OF THE RESIDENTS THAT I DEAL WITH ON THIS END.
SO, BUT AS FAR AS ME, THE CONCERNS I HAVE IS THE SAFETY CONCERNS IS PEOPLE EVENTUALLY FIND A WAY TO GET OUT FROM THE TUNNEL.
AND I COULD JUST SEE A SERIOUS INCIDENT TO WHERE SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO CROSS THE TRACK FROM ABOVE, ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE A LOT OF LARGE CROWDS GOING BACK FORTH.
AND OF COURSE THE FLOODING AND, UM, AGAIN, THE FINANCES, YES, IT LOOKS LIKE THE DEVELOPER'S GONNA PAY THEIR SHARE UP FRONT.
BUT, UH, I JUST HAVE A FEELING THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING LATER ON TO THE C'S GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH ON THIS.
SO THAT'S WHERE I STAND ON IT.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? DO YOU WANT CASPER ELLISON THANK YOU, MAYOR.
UH, CERTAINLY, UH, I APPRECIATE THE, UM, THE HISTORY AND GETTING TO THE POINT.
I THINK THAT, UH, UH, MR. SELLERS, YOU ANSWERED A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I'VE SEEN, UH, MR. PELLET VAN THAT CAME UP EARLIER AND SPOKE AT THE FIVE O'CLOCK TO FIVE 30 MEETING.
I THINK YOU ADDRESSED, I'M LOOKING THROUGH HIS QUESTIONS FOR THE MOST PART.
I THINK YOU ADDRESSED THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE RELATIVE TO THE TUNNEL AND THIS AGENDA ITEM.
I'M JUST REVIEWING TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING.
UM, SO I THINK THE KEY PART HERE IS CERTAINLY THAT, UH, THE TUNNEL WAS BEING FUNDED BY THE DEVELOPMENT, UM, AND EVEN JUST PRELIMINARY STUDY.
UM, YOU KNOW, I WOULD, I KNOW YOU ANSWERED THAT IT DOESN'T BENEFIT THE EAST SIDE FULL DISCLOSURE.
I'VE LIVED ON THE EAST SIDE THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE LIVED IN KYLE, UH, AND HAPPY TO ALWAYS, UH, UM, BE THERE FOR THE RESIDENTS.
SO NOT ONLY THAT PART OF THE CITY, BUT THE ENTIRE CITY THAT I REPRESENT.
AND I WOULD SAY THAT IT DOES BENEFIT BECAUSE THE IDEA WITH THIS WHOLE VIBE NETWORK IS TO GET PEOPLE ACROSS OUR CITY, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE TO ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT PLACES WOULD HAVE OUT HAVING AN AUTOMOBILE.
AND SO YOU CAN GET FROM, UH, AN EAST, UH, SUBDIVISION IN KYLE, UM, AND GET ALL THE WAY TO HERO'S MEMORIAL B WITHOUT HAVING TO GET IN, INTO A VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS TUNNEL.
AND THEN THE GREAT THING IS THE CITY IS NOT, UH, PAYING FOR THIS, THIS, THE DEVELOPER.
SO I COULD CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE ARGUMENT.
IF THE CITY WAS USING $3 MILLION OF TAXPAYER TIE-INS TO BUILD A TUNNEL, IT STILL IS A STRETCH TO EVEN, I GET THAT, BUT THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT FUNDED PROJECT.
THE REASON WHY IT'S HAPPENING NOW, THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION THAT I FEEL LIKE MR PELOTON BROUGHT UP IS WHY NOW, WHY THE RUSH JUST BECAUSE THIS DEVELOPMENT IS HAPPENING NOW.
AND SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF THAT, THAT PART TO THAT CONNECTIVITY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROMOTE THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRETY OF OUR CITY, WHICH IS, UM, ALL ABOUT EQUITY.
AND THIS IS, UH, SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M GOING TO APA CONFERENCE RIGHT NOW, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, EQUITABLE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION, GETTING PEOPLE TO DIFFERENT PLACES, UH, AND BEING COGNIZANT OF, UH, PEOPLE, ALL DIFFERENT SCALES WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY.
AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND ALL OF THEM ARE JUST BLOWN
[01:20:01]
AWAY BY IT.AND SO I, I THINK THIS IS, UH, A PART OF CONNECTING ALL OF IT.
IF THIS WAS JUST SO HAPPENED TO A RAILROAD CROSSING AND THE EAST SIDE, UH, IN ORDER FOR US TO GET THROUGH, TO ACCOMPLISH THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH THIS MULTI-USE PATH SYSTEM, I'D BE ALL FOR IT, EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T REALLY DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE RESIDENTS OF THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN.
UM, BUT I WOULD STAY THE SAME THING.
IT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO GET ALL THE WAY TO LATE PILE OR WHEREVER IT IS IF YOU'RE TRYING TO GET OVER THERE.
SO I THINK THAT'S THE, KIND OF THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER.
CERTAINLY I APPRECIATE THE ASPECT OF THAT.
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT, UH, AVENUES LOOKED AT, UH, UM, ALTERNATIVES, ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF WAYS.
UM, BUT IT, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST WEREN'T FEASIBLE FOR ONE REASON OR THE ANOTHER.
AND SO I REALLY LIKE, YOU KNOW, I WAS TALKING TO A RESIDENT ABOUT IT AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, I, I WOULD BE SAD.
WE'RE RE REGARDLESS OF WHEREVER, THIS WAS, BECAUSE ANY PART OF OUR CITY THAT WE'RE NOT, UH, CONNECTING THIS ENTIRE NETWORK TOGETHER, UM, THAT WOULD BE A SAD THING IN MY OPINION, UH, CAUSE WE'RE NOT DOING, UH, AN EQUITABLE SERVICE TO EVERYBODY BY NOT MAKING THE CONNECTIVITY.
AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THIS ONE'S, UH, IN THE PLACE THAT IT IS BECAUSE OF THAT RAILROAD TRACK, IF IT WERE ON THE EAST SIDE, IT'D BE THE SAME, THE SAME THING IN THE SAME MINDSET FOR ME, AT LEAST.
UM, SO I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT.
THE ONCE AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR A WHILE NOW ON THIS DEVELOPMENT, I WAS REALLY GLAD TO GET THIS SECURED, UH, THIS $3 MILLION SECURED, UH, THROUGH THE, THE AGREEMENTS AND THE NEGOTIATIONS.
AND, UM, UH, FOR ME, THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT MAKE A GREAT IMPACT ON THIS, THIS PROJECT.
I'M REALLY HAPPY TO HEAR THE, UH, MEASURES TALKED ABOUT SECURITY BECAUSE I CERTAINLY IN THE RESIDENTS THAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT, THAT THAT IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED AND I CAN CERTAINLY AGREE WITH THEM ON THAT.
AND SO, UH, WITH THESE EFFORTS IN PLACE AND, UM, THESE PROCESSES THAT WE'LL HAVE IN PLACE WHEN THE TUNNEL WAS BUILT, I THINK WILL BE GREAT.
AND CERTAINLY, UM, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE GONNA MAYBE DO SOME NEFARIOUS THINGS, BUT RIGHT NOW THEY JUST THEY'RE CROSSING OVER THE RAILROAD RIGHT NOW AND IT'S DANGEROUS.
UH, AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S NOT THE GOOD THING.
SO I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT WHEN YOU PUT A SAFER CROSSING, IF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO USE THE DANGEROUS ROUTE THAT IS ALREADY EXISTING RIGHT NOW.
UM, BUT, UH, I, I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATION AND THE TIME ON THIS.
UM, AND I THINK THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, IT CERTAINLY IS AN INNOVATIVE PROJECT AND, UH, I I'M REALLY THRILLED THAT THROUGH DEVELOPERS PAYING FOR IT.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION MAY PRETEND THAT'S JUST REALLY QUICK SCOTT GOING OVER THE VIBE TRAIL RIGHT NOW, OUR TRAIL SYSTEM STARTS OFF AT A WATER LEAF PARK AND GOES ALL THE WAY TO A LAKE.
KYLE GOES DOWN TO STEEPLECHASE PARK FROM STEEPLECHASE PARK THERE'S PLANS IN THE WORK TO CONNECT THAT TO THE, UH, PROJECT THAT'LL BE HAPPENING OFF OF BUN CREEK, NOT BEEN GREAT.
UH, IS THE ROAD RIGHT THERE? UM, UH, THE BARDEN PROJECT.
WHAT IS THAT, UM, STREET RIGHT THERE.
CAN YOU THINK OF A MARKETPLACE? UH, BURLESON, SORRY, BURLESON.
SO IT'S GONNA CONNECT THAT TO BURLESON FROM BURLESON.
WE'LL GO TO THIS TRAIL, CORRECT.
SO IN ESSENCE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO FROM WATERLOO PARK ALL THE WAY TO THE HERO'S MEMORIAL PARK, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND, UH, FOR ME, IT WAS, UH, WHEN THEY, WHEN WE BROUGHT FORWARD THE, UM, PROJECT ON, UH, BURLESON, I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT, UH, PEOPLE IN STEEPLE BEING LEFT OUT OF THAT AND HAVING THAT CONNECTIVITY FROM STEEPLECHASE TO, UH, BURLESON IS SOMETHING, THE REASON WHY I I'M, I'M IN FAVOR NOW OF THAT SPORTS FACILITY THERE THAT'S COMING OUT THE OUTDOOR SPORT SPORTS WORKOUT, UH, SPECIFIC.
SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD, BUT YEAH, CONNECTIVITY IS IMPORTANT AND GETTING PEOPLE OFF THE ROADWAY.
AND I'LL JUST ADD TO THE, YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN THE DESIGN OF THE TRAIL FROM COOLSPRINGS DOWN TO WATER LEAF, AND THEN TO BASICALLY THE INTERSTATE.
SO THERE'S $2 MILLION OF CITY MONEY FOR THAT PROJECT AND THEN $2 MILLION OF COUNTY MONEY FOR THAT.
THIS WILL BE MY LAST QUESTION.
SO, UM, THERE'S $3 MILLION SET ASIDE IN THE EVENT.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, DO WE HAVE, DO WE HAVE, UM, AN ESTIMATE ON HOW MUCH THAT'S GOING TO COST? SO THE, THE PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES, RIGHT AROUND 2.1 MILLION FOR THE TOTAL, AND HAVE THEY DONE ANY KIND OF DIGGING OR ANY RECENT THAT'S THIS $50,000? UH, SO IS THERE A SITUATION WHERE THIS COULD HAPPEN TO COST 4 MILLION? UM, YEAH, DEFINITELY.
SO IF IT, IF IT COST 4 MILLION AND I KNOW IT'LL COME BACK FOR A VOTE, BUT, BUT THEN WE'RE KIND OF A LITTLE BIT MORE OBLIGATED AT THAT POINT.
[01:25:01]
UM, SO YEAH, I GUESS THAT'S MY QUESTION IS WITHOUT HAVING, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, A DEFINED AMOUNT, IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO SAY YES, BUT SO ULTIMATELY WHAT WE'RE JUST VOTING ON IS A 50,000.AND THEN IT'LL COME BACK IF THERE IS.
CAUSE I THINK YOU SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER AGREEMENT.
THE, THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING WILL BE IN AGREEMENT WITH UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD FOR A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THIS PROJECT.
SO WE DO HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE.
NO, IF IT'S MORE THAN THE $3 MILLION, LIKE WHERE WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO W WE'LL BRING BACK A DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT, AND THAT WILL HAVE WHAT WE HOPE TO HAVE, WHICH IS A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, WHICH THEN THE CONTRACTOR WOULD BE OBLIGATED TO STAY AT OR UNDER THAT, THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT.
AND IF THAT IS OVER $3 MILLION, THE COUNCIL CAN, CAN HAUL THE PROJECT.
BUT I THINK WE KIND OF IN OVER OUR HEADS SOMETIMES LIKE WITH THE HERO'S MEMORIAL THAT DID NOT START OFF AS AN EIGHT OR $9 MILLION PROJECT, AND THEN THE DEEPER WE GO INTO IT, THE MORE WE'RE COMMITTED AND THEN THE MORE WE END UP SPINNING.
AND SO THAT'S ALWAYS A CONCERN FOR ME.
ANYONE ELSE? JUST ONE LAST THING, IF WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WHEN DURING THE DESIGN PRODUCT PROJECT, WHERE THEY CAN MAKE SURE THAT THEY DESIGN IT TO WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE NOT GOING OVER THE TRACK AND SO FORTH ON OVER THE TUNNEL, ALL THAT, YEAH.
CURRENTLY THERE'S A FENCE, BUT IT'S A, IT'S A ROCK FENCE BECAUSE IN BETWEEN WHERE THE TUNNEL INSURE WOULD BE AND THE ACTUAL RIGHT AWAY FOR THE TRACKS AS A LARGE DETENTION POND.
SO THERE'S ALREADY A FENCE FOR THE DETENTION POND.
THE RAILROAD THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS WILL ENSURE THAT THAT AREA IS SECURED.
UH, BUT ALSO WANT TO HIT THE EARLIER COMMENT YOU MADE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, STORM EVENTS.
YOU KNOW, WE HOPE PEOPLE DON'T GO INTO ANY CROSSING, YOU KNOW, UNDERGROUND CROSSING, CAUSE WE'LL HAVE MULTIPLE AREAS OF THE VIBE THAT ARE CULVERT CROSSINGS AS WELL.
UH, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HOPE PEOPLE HAVE COMMON SENSE, BUT EVEN WITH THAT, UH, A TUNNEL THAT'S 900 LINEAR FEET, WE'LL HAVE A SUMP IN IT.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE WATER WILL COLLECT A ONE CENTRAL AREA AND BE PUMPED OUT.
ANYONE ELSE? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
I KNOW WE HAVE TWO MORE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, BUT BECAUSE WE'VE GOTTEN THROUGH THAT ONE, I'D LIKE TO, UH, REQUEST A 10 MINUTE BREAK, UH, AND WE WILL PICK UP THE MEETING AT EIGHT FORTY FIVE, EIGHT FORTY SEVEN.
I'M GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER.
THE NEXT STEP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 20 APPROVAL OF AN INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF KYLE, A HOME RULE MUNICIPALITY LOCATED IN HAYES COUNTY, TEXAS, AND CROSS WINDS, MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT DECITABINE IS MR. ERPS.
I BELIEVE COUNCIL AIR FORCE CAT REQUESTED.
ARE YOU READY? IT'S NUMBER 20.
THIS IS AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.
COULD YOU, I HAVE A REALLY HARD TIME TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ALL THIS STUFF.
AND SO, UM, I KNOW IT'S A MUD AND IT SAYS THEY'RE, THEY'RE BUILDING, THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD, IS THAT CORRECT? SO FAR SO GOOD.
UM, WELL THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO KNOW, CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO, I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF, OF, UH, VOTING FOR THAT.
SO I HAD TO PULL IT IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT CHOICE.
BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT AS FAR AS, UH, THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A MUD, UM, ONLINE, LET ME CLARIFY THE ITEM THEN.
THIS IS A MUD THAT'S ALREADY IN EXISTENCE.
THEY ALREADY HAVE HOMES BEING BUILT.
THEY ALREADY HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE GROUND THAT WHAT THEY CAME TO US WITH IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING, WHICH IS THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM TO CAUSE THE HOME BUILDERS TO ABIDE BY THE STORM WATER EROSION CONTROLS THERE, THEY'RE NOT DOING THEIR VERSION CONTROLS PROPERLY.
THEY'RE DRAGGING MUD ONTO THE ROAD AND THE MUD DOES NOT HAVE A POWERS GIVEN TO IT, TO ENFORCE ON THESE BUILDERS.
THEY EFFECTIVELY HAD THE COUNTY, I DON'T KNOW IN KATHY HAS PROBABLY ALREADY GONE.
I SAID, KATHY, DOES THE, DOES THE COUNTY HAVE MS. FOUR THAT APPLIES TO THEM? OR IS IT JUST, OKAY, SO THE COUNTY DOES HAVE AN MS. FOUR THAT APPLIES TO THEM, BUT I BELIEVE, UH, MS FOUR, SORRY IS A, IS A MUNICIPAL, UH, STORM SEWER, UH, S YEAH.
SYSTEM, RIGHT? SO IT'S, IT'S DESIGNED FOR WATER
[01:30:01]
QUALITY, UM, AND WE'RE COMPELLED TO HAVE ONE BY, BY STATE AND FEDERAL LOAN.SO WHENEVER CROSSWINDS WAS GETTING ITS APPROVALS, I BELIEVE IT ADOPTED OUR MS. FOUR REQUIREMENTS, WHICH ARE MORE STRINGENT THAN THE COUNTIES.
AND NOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM ENFORCING WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO WHAT THEY, THEY, THEIR BOARD APPROACHED US VIA THE ATTORNEYS.
SO THE ATTORNEY REACHED OUT AND SAID, HEY, CAN THE CITY HELP US ENFORCE THIS? WHAT WE WOULD LIKE IS IF OUR, UH, HOME BUILDERS ARE NOT COMPLIANT AND WE HAVE FIND THEM AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO COMPLY OR PAY THE FINE FOR THE CITY TO WITHHOLD THE WATER METERS, BECAUSE THERE ARE WATER CUSTOMERS TO WITHHOLD THE WATER METERS UNTIL THAT BUILDER COMES INTO COMPLIANCE.
THAT'S WHAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES.
DO WE NORMALLY DO THAT? GET INVOLVED LIKE THAT? WELL, WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE.
UM, SO THE ANSWER IS NO, WE HAVEN'T NORMALLY DONE THAT.
WE HAVE, UH, ESTABLISHED SOME SOMEWHAT OF A PRECEDENT OF TRYING TO WORK, LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH MONARCH ABOUT, UH, MONARCH SHARING THEIR UTILITY INFORMATION WITH US FOR WHENEVER WE HAVE NON-PAYMENT OF SEWER, RIGHT? SO THERE IS A PRECEDENT OF DIFFERENT DISTRICTS WORKING TOGETHER.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE'S APPROACHED THIS WITH A PROBLEM OF EROSION CONTROL AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL.
NOW, IF WE AGREE TO WORK TOGETHER ON THIS KIND OF ISSUE, COULD THAT CAUSE ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD WITH OTHER DEVELOPERS ASKING US TO DO THE SAME, ANY DEVELOPER? I THINK THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.
WE HAVE CONTROL, AND IT'S NOT A PROBLEM, BUT OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, UH, IT'S VERY PLAUSIBLE THAT THEY COULD EXPERIENCE SIMILAR CONCERNS AND COME TO US AND ASK FOR US TO HELP.
THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR AGREEMENT IS THE BURDEN OF FINDING THE BUILDER OF COLLECTING THE FINES OF MAINTAINING WHO'S WHO'S ON THE NAUGHTY LIST, AND WHO'S NOT, UH, ALL FALLS WITH THE MUD AND THE MUD BOARD AND THEIR STAFF.
AND THEY SIMPLY JUST COMMUNICATE WITH US.
HEY, THIS HOME BUILDER IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE.
UH, PLEASE HOLD, YOU KNOW, THE, THE WATER, UH, METER SETS UNTIL WE GIVE YOU THE ALL CLEAR.
SO IT SHOULDN'T CAUSE TOO MUCH OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN ON US TO HELP, BUT IT CERTAINLY IS SOMETHING THAT BENEFITS US BECAUSE THE RUNOFF AND THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING THAT AREN'T GOOD ARE IN COMPLIANCE AFFECTS THE, OUR PLUM CREEK AND OUR DRAINAGE BASINS.
AND OUT OF CURIOSITY, WHEN THIS MUD WAS CREATED, DID IT GIVE US THE CITY, ANY FINANCIAL, UM, CROSS WINDS? UM, I WANT TO SAY THAT THERE WAS SOME SORT OF A CONTRIBUTION, BUT I HAVEN'T READ THAT.
I MEAN, THAT WAS FIVE PLUS YEARS AGO.
I DON'T REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY.
I DO KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF GIVE AND TAKE.
UM, GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CROSSWIND DID DO IS ALLOWED US TO PUT A GBRA TAKE POINT INSIDE THEIR DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS THE NORTH, THE FURTHEST NORTH PART OF OUR CITY THAT YOU CAN GET TO THE GBRA TRANSMISSION LINE FOR WATER RUNS THROUGH THE EAST SIDE OF KYLE.
AND WE HAD TO TAKE POINT AT YARRINGTON AND TAKE POINT AT LAYMAN, BUT WE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING UP NORTH AND CROSSWINDS ALLOWED US TO DO THAT AS FAR AS DOLLAR CONTRIBUTIONS.
I DON'T SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER.
I JUST DON'T KNOW THE NUMBERS.
AND THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY EASY TO DEAL WITH GENERALLY SPEAKING.
WELL, WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 20, A MOTION BY A COUNSELOR FLOORS, KALE.
SECOND ABOUT IT, CUSTOMER TOBIA.
IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY, AYE, ALL OPPOSED.
FIRST READING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KYLE TEXAS, PROVIDING FOR WITHHOLDING WATER TAPS AND WATER METERS AND OTHER A REASONABLE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR CROSSWINDS MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT.
UH, THIS MR. ERPS ITEM CUSTOMER FOUR SCALE, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 21, PLEASE MOTION BY COUNCILOR FORCE KALE, SECOND AMOUNT MAYOR PRO TEM RIZZO THAT WE APPROVED JENNA ON 21.
IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
[VII. Consider and Possible Action]
NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM 22 DISCUSSION OVER REQUIREMENTS FOR COUNCIL TO REPORT AND UPDATE THE REST OF COUNCIL AFTER TRAVELING FOR THE CITY ON THE FOLLOWING MEETING, AFTER THE TRIP TO INCLUDE POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO THE RULES OF COUNCIL, UH, COMES FROM PARSLEY.UM, SO I DO WANNA MAKE, UM, YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED THAT I'M VERY EXCITED THAT WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL AND EXPLORE AND BRING IDEAS THAT WE CAN IMPLEMENT TO THE CITY OF COW.
UM, AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE BUDGETED FUNDS FOR TRAININGS AND CONFERENCES AND THIS IT'S, UM, I BELIEVE THE MORE KNOWLEDGE WE GET, UH, THE BETTER WE WILL SERVE.
HOWEVER, UM, I DO KNOW THAT COUNCIL MEMBER TO BE AS MENTIONED LAST TIME, THEN NOT LOVE US, YOU KNOW, HAVE NOT ALL OF US HAVE
[01:35:01]
THE FLEXIBILITY TO TRAVEL AND GO TO THIS CONFERENCES AS MUCH AS OTHERS.SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE IS, UM, AND THERE MIGHT BE TWO THINGS.
ONE OF IT, ONE OF THEM IS, UM, THAT ALL TRAVELING COMES TO COUNCIL PRIOR TO BE DONE, UH, CONFERENCES OR TRAININGS OR VISITS OUT OF THE COUNTY LIMITS WHERE EITHER A FUEL CHARGES WILL BE DONE OR A TRAVELING EXPENSES ARE GOING TO BE REQUESTED.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR US TO BRING THAT UP TO, SORRY, COUNSEL, PRIOR WE DO IT, UH, SAY, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GOING.
THESE ARE THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE VISITING, UM, OR GOING TO BE ATTENDING.
AND THIS IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING.
I KNOW WE HAVE THE FUNDS, BUT THAT WILL GIVE MORE CLARITY TO US AND TO EVERYBODY ELSE THAT IS WATCHING THE MEETINGS ON TO THE RESIDENTS TO WHERE ARE WE GOING? WHAT ARE WE DOING? UM, THE NEXT ONE WILL BE, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ADDED ON ANOTHER MEETING.
AND IT'S THE, UM, THE FOLLOWING MEETING AFTER THE TRAVELING HAS HAPPENED, THEN THERE SHOULD BE AN AGENDA ITEM PLACE, UM, IN ORDER TO DISCUSS THAT TRAVELING.
SO IF IT'S BEEN ALREADY SET AS A RULE AND IT'S NOT BEING ENFORCED, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU, SCOTT COULD TAKE ONTO THAT AND ADD THAT AGENDA ITEM THAT WAY, IF A COUNCIL MEMBER FORGETS TO ADD IT AND TELL THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, WHAT THE TRAVELING WAS ABOUT, THEN WE DON'T HAVE THAT ISSUE.
SO WE, WE DID TAKE ACTION ON, UH, TRAVEL.
UH, WE CLARIFIED THAT IF COUNCIL IS TAKING MORE OF AN EXCURSION TYPE TRIP, SO, UH, IF WE'RE MOVING, YOU KNOW, GO INTO A GRAND JUNCTION OR TO SEE AN EOC OR TO LOOK AT TRAIL SYSTEMS OR MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE WOULD, WE WOULD REPORT BACK.
SO THAT WAS DIRECTION THAT WAS ALREADY TAKEN.
SO IT'S THE, THE ONUS ON THAT IS GOING TO BE THE COUNCIL.
UM, UM, BUT WHAT WE DID CLARIFY AS IF WE'RE GOING TO CONFERENCES THAT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE TO REPORT BACK CONFERENCES GENERALLY ARE, UH, UH, WHAT COUNCIL MEMBERS GO TO, UM, UH, GET TRAINING FOR THEMSELVES AND TO FURTHER THEMSELVES.
SO IF THAT'S AN AREA YOU WANTED TO, WE TOOK THAT ACTION.
SO WE BROUGHT IT UP HERE, WE DISCUSSED IT AND TOOK THAT ACTION.
SO IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN, WE CAN DO THAT.
I SUPPOSE, IF THE F F THAT'S THE COUNCIL WILL, UM, I WOULD SAY IT MAKES SENSE IF SOMEBODY IS GOING TO A CONFERENCE AND GETTING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SOMETHING, THE REST OF THE COUNCIL DOESN'T KNOW.
AND IF YOU CAN PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST THE, SOME SORT OF STORY OF WHAT DID YOU LEARN, SO WE CAN ALL BE ON THE SAME PAGE, UM, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO INSTRUCT THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, WHO WASN'T ABLE TO GO.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT OKAY.
UM, SO I, GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL VOTE THAT WE TOOK, WHICH WAS LAST YEAR, AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I PLACED ON THE AGENDA.
I THINK WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO WAS TO START ENFORCING THAT.
AND SO WE DO THAT BY GIVING DIRECTION TO HAVE SCOTT OR CITY MANAGER PUT THAT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IN CASE THERE'S LIKE THREE OR FOUR OF US GOING.
AND SO THAT WAY NOW, AND WE'RE ONLY LIMITED TO THREE AS IT IS.
SO I DON'T REALLY WANT TO SEE ANYBODY UP HERE, HAVE TO USE THEIR, ONE OF THEIR THREE FOR THAT ITEM.
UM, AND THEN ALSO I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA.
I'M, I'M ALWAYS WELCOMING TO HEARING OF, UH, EVENTS THAT WE CAN GO TO OR CONFERENCES THAT WE CAN GO TO.
I DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW ALL THE CONFERENCES ARE OUT THERE.
AND INSTEAD OF, UM, SAYING, WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD JUST LOOK MORE OR YOU SHOULD FIGURE IT OUT.
OR I THINK WHAT WE SHOULD BE SAYING IS, HEY, DANIELLE IS GOING TO THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE.
JUST SCOTT COULD DO IT VIA EMAIL.
UM, IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED OR WANTS TO GO THERE'S THIS, THIS IS A GOOD WAY FOR US TO LEARN.
SO, UM, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A PROPONENT OF SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE.
UM, I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE A SITUATION BEING THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS MORE THAN EVERYBODY ELSE.
UM, SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY HARM IN, IN THAT AREA.
IT'S NOT ABOUT SO MUCH MAKING SURE WE KNOW WHERE EVERYBODY IS, BUT MORE OR LESS KIND OF HELPING EACH OTHER GROW AND, AND RECOGNIZING THAT THERE ARE THESE CONFERENCES THAT WE COULD GO TO, BECAUSE IF NOBODY TELLS US HOW WOULD WE KNOW? OKAY.
UM, JUST, JUST TO BRING UP MY POINT, UM, YES, I, I DO HAVE A PRETTY HEAVY WORKLOAD.
I DON'T HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY THAT MAYBE SOME OTHER PEOPLE DO, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE OUR DAILY LIVES.
[01:40:01]
WHEN I WAS HEARING THAT THERE WAS TRIPS THAT WERE BEING HELD AND THERE WAS TRAVEL, UH, IN IT.AND IF IT BENEFITED THE CITY OR SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD BRING BACK TO COUNCIL, I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WAY I LOOKED AT IT.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST ME, UH, BEEN NICE TO BE ABLE TO BE INFORMED OF IT, TO SAY, HEY, UH, DURING THE PRESENTATION AGENDA ITEM, I'M JUST GONNA THROW THIS OUT THERE.
UM, MAYOR PRO TEM, YOU KNOW, TRIP TO HOUSTON FOR ARTS CONFERENCE OR WHATEVER, IT COULD BE JUST SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THAT TO INFORM US TO SAY, HEY, LOOK, YOU KNOW, UH, I WENT TO THIS MYSELF OR IN DANIELA, WE WENT TO A CONFERENCE OR WE WENT TO GO SEE A LIBRARY, OR WE WENT TO GO SEE SOMETHING.
AND I THINK THIS WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR THE CITY, OR THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED.
I KNOW LAST YEAR I, TO THE LEGISLATIVE WRAP-UP, UH, DOWN AT THE, UH, CIVIC CENTER AT THE CONVENTION CENTER AND LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT WHAT THE SENATE BILLS THAT THEY PASS FOR THE YEAR, LIKE THE OPEN CARRY LAW, ALL THESE OTHER THINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING THAT I COULD HAVE BROUGHT FORWARD ON MY END, BUT I DIDN'T, BUT IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST THINGS LIKE THAT TO WHERE IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AND IT IS GOING TO MAYBE COULD BENEFIT THE CITY, IT'D BE JUST NICE TO SHARE IT ALL.
THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT THEM.
UH, MY ONLY THOUGHTS ARE THAT AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS, THE CITY, MANAGER'S NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR COUNCIL MEMBER TRAVEL.
AND SO IT IS POSSIBLE AT THIS POINT, BASED ON OUR POLICIES FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS TO TRAVEL WITHOUT INFORMING THE CITY MANAGER.
UH, I DON'T REALLY THINK IT'S THE CITY MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO POLICE THE COUNCIL AND MAKE SURE THAT UPDATES, UH, ARE BEING, UM, PUT ON THE AGENDA, UH, FOR DIFFERENT COUNCIL MEMBERS, TRAVEL POLICIES.
SO, UM, MY THOUGHT WOULD BE TO SAY THAT IF WE WANT TO IMPLEMENT MORE POLICIES, WE ALREADY DID LAST YEAR TO, TO REQUIRE THAT SAY, IF WE GO TO WASHINGTON DC, THAT THE COUNCIL SHOULD BRING BACK A REPORT FROM THAT WE TOOK ACTION.
UH, IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN, THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR, UH, UH, DEALING WITH THAT SHOULD ALSO BE AT THE LEVEL OF THE COUNCIL.
SO IT'S, UM, IT'S A, UM, I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE A CITY MANAGER WHO GETS PUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, OBVIOUSLY RIGHT NOW, TRAVEL EXPENSES, REIMBURSEMENTS, AND THOSE THINGS ARE VERY HOT BUTTON ISSUES, UH, THAT I DON'T SEE WHY YOU'D WANT TO PUT THE CITY MANAGER IN THE MIDDLE BECAUSE THOSE ARE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS EXCLUSIVELY, UH, FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO DEAL WITH INTERNALLY.
IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CITY MANAGER.
WELL, UNLESS YOU TAKE TRIPS WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND THEN, AND THEN I THINK PLEASE, UH, PLEASE WAIT TO BE RECOGNIZED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE THOSE KINDS OF COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR MOTIONS? I JUST HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, SO ARE, ARE WE CURRENTLY BRINGING IN TWO DIAS AND TWO AS AN AGENDA? ALL THE TRAVELING, I'M SORRY.
I MEAN, SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE, I HAVE NOT HEARD ANY, SO I JUST DON'T KNOW IF BRIAN, RIGHT? NO, IT IS, IT IS NOT, IT IS NOT CURRENTLY OUR POLICY FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE TO REQUEST PERMISSION FROM THE COUNCIL, UH, IN ORDER TO TRAVEL OR TO, OR TO NOTIFY THE COUNCIL OF, UH, ANY INDIVIDUAL'S INTENT TO TRAVEL.
MAYBE I DIDN'T ONE OF MY QUESTION CORRECTLY ALSO, WHEN, WHEN A COUNCIL MEMBER HAS BEEN TRAVELING, ARE THEY CURRENTLY REPORTING WHERE THEY'RE TRAVELING AND A FOLLOWING MEETING? ARE THEY COMING BACK WITH AN AGENDA ITEM SAYING, THIS IS WHERE I WENT.
THIS IS WHERE I LEARNED, THIS IS MY FEEDBACK TO, TO COUNCIL OR WHAT I, WHAT I'M BRINGING BACK TO THE CITY IS HOW'S IT, IS IT HAPPENING? I'M ASKING A QUESTION, THE DC TRIP, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU WENT TO YOUR CONFERENCE.
THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING, BUT, YOU KNOW, BESIDES LIKE I WENT TO TML, I DIDN'T KNOW.
I HAD TO, TO BRING BACK THAT, UM, YOU DID NOT PER THE POLICY THAT WE SET, WE CLARIFY TML THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES, PLANNING CONFERENCES.
THOSE ARE, UH, THOSE ARE, UH, OPPORTUNITIES THAT A COUNCIL MEMBER CAN AVAIL THEMSELVES TO IN ORDER TO, UH, UH, SORT OF LIKE CAREER DEVELOPMENT TO LEARN.
IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT AT ALL UNDER OUR CURRENT POLICY FOR COUNCIL TO BRING BACK ANY COUNCIL MEMBER, TO BRING BACK A REPORT ON WHATEVER CONFERENCE THEY WENT TO.
BUT IF THEY GO TO AN EXCURSION OR SOME SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF THAT, WHERE IT'S CLEAR THAT THE COUNCIL HAS AN INTEREST, THE CITY HAS AN INTEREST IN LEARNING ABOUT ROUNDABOUTS OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT WE HAVE TAKEN DIRECTION, THAT, THAT, THAT THERE SHOULD BE A REPORT OR A PRESENTATION GIVEN AFTERWARDS ON THAT.
SO DC WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF, YES, YOU SHOULD DO THAT.
UH, OR IF THERE'S SOME OTHER TRIP THAT WAS TAKEN TO LOOK AT SOMETHING, THEN IT WOULD BE YES, BECAUSE THAT'S A GENERAL COUNCIL IMPORTANT.
SO MY NEXT QUESTION, SORRY, I'M TAKING THIS TIME IN THIS CASE, WHEN FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS WENT TO DC,
[01:45:02]
WHAT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR JUST ONE PERSON, ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO RANDOMLY JUST PUT IT ON THE ITEM, I PUT THE ITEM IN THE AGENDA, OR HOW DO, HOW DO WE DO THAT? YEAH, I WOULD SAY IT'S EACH COUNCIL MEMBER'S RESPONSIBILITY ABILITY TO FOLLOW THE POLICY THAT COUNCILS SET.SO IT'S ON EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS TO REQUEST TO MAKE THAT, AND IT CAN, IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE AN AGENDA ITEM.
IF THE CITY MANAGER WAS INVOLVED IN THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT, WE CONTEMPLATED THAT WHERE, HEY, FYI, THAT THERE WERE FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MYSELF, AND WENT WITH THE DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON DC.
IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE, UH, AN AGENDA ITEM.
SO, BUT THE, THE, YOU KNOW, THE REALITY IS SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR, UH, THE POLICIES THAT THE COUNCIL SETS OR THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.
IF I WAS ONE OF THE FOUR, I WOULD SAY, IT'D BE MY RESPONSIBILITY.
JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE WHO WENT, SHOULD SAY, IT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE IT HAPPENS.
I WANT TO KNOW FOR FUTURE TRAVELING LIKE THIS TIME I'M BRINGING IN THE C, BUT I DIDN'T DISCUSS THAT WITH ANYBODY ELSE THAT WENT WITH ME, IF ANYONE ELSE WAS GOING TO BRING IT.
SO I GUESS THAT WAS MY QUESTION.
ARE WE, I GUESS WE WILL DISCUSS NEXT TIME, WHO IS GOING TO BE BRINGING IN WHENEVER WE GO TO A TRIP DISCUSS DURING THE TRIP, WHO'S GOING TO BE BRINGING THIS FOR DISCUSSION FOR ALISON, SORRY, HOW TO SEE THAT, UH, KATSMA FLORES KILLS ALREADY, ALREADY SPOKEN.
AND IT'S YOUR, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
UH, I'LL, I'LL JUST REAL QUICK COMMENTS.
UM, SO I, ON, UH, THE VISIONING WORKSHOP, UH, CONFERENCES WERE DISCUSSED.
I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR'S, UH, UH, RECOLLECTION OF OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION.
AND I DO AGREE WITH, YOU KNOW, EVERY MEMBER SHOULD TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES AND YOU CAN EITHER HAVE THAT DISCUSSION OR YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT IT'S ON THERE.
AND CERTAINLY, UH, THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE DONE AND WE JUST NEED TO STAY ON TOP OF THAT, UH, OURSELVES AND WITH EACH OTHER.
UH, JUST A REMINDER THOUGH, UH, UH, CONFERENCES WERE TALKED ABOUT AT OUR VISIONING WORKSHOP ON FEBRUARY 14TH.
I SENT AN EMAIL TO MR. SELLERS OF ALL THE CONFERENCES THAT I RECOMMENDED.
HE'S FORWARDED THAT EMAIL ON FEBRUARY 15TH, UM, UH, THE CONFERENCES, UH, THAT WERE SUGGESTED WITH THE LINKS AS WELL TO REVIEW THEM AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT.
AND IF YOU WERE INTERESTED AS THE DATES AND WHATNOT, THAT SAME EMAIL INCLUDED THE GRAND JUNCTION, UH, SAID, UH, DATES AND THE WASHINGTON DC TRIP, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IT.
BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE EMAIL, IT'S FEBRUARY 15TH, IT SAYS POTENTIAL FACT FINDING EXCURSIONS OPPORTUNITIES AND CONFERENCES IS THE EMAIL IN CASE YOU MISSED THAT CUSTOMER FORCE.
UM, NOW I HEARD THAT THE VISIONING WORKSHOP, UM, TH THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THESE TRIPS, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT WE TOOK A BOAT LAST YEAR AND DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THAT VOTE WAS FOR? CAUSE THAT SET A POLICY.
WHEN WE TOOK THEM, WHEN WE MADE A MOTION, IT TOOK A VOTE.
SO I THINK WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE WE JUST SIMPLY DON'T KNOW.
AND IF MY MEMORY DOESN'T FAIL ME, WHICH IT MIGHT, THAT MOTION WAS TO HAVE OUR CITY MANAGER BRING THAT BACK AS LONG AS THE CITY MANAGER KNEW ABOUT IT.
SO I DO APPRECIATE THE VISIONING WORKSHOP TALK.
HOWEVER, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THERE CAN BE NO ACTION TAKEN DURING THAT TIME.
SO WHAT I AM REFERRING TO WAS THE AGENDA ITEM I PLACED ON THE AGENDA LAST YEAR, WHEREAS WE TOOK A VOTE AND THAT VOTES DID STATE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING IT BACK.
YOU SAID THE CITY MANAGER IN THE, IN THE ITEM I'M ABOUT 90.
NOBODY REALLY KNOWS, BUT I'M ABOUT 98% SURE WHEN I MADE IT BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS WHEN I GET, WHEN YOU GET UP HERE AND YOU'RE TALKING, I, YOU REMEMBER EMOTIONS, NOT SO MUCH WORDS, BUT I CAN ALMOST SWEAR WHICH I, YOU KNOW, DON'T UM, THAT IT WAS THE CITY MANAGER IS GOING TO BRING IT BACK BECAUSE I VIVIDLY REMEMBER SOMEONE SAYING AS LONG AS THE CITY MANAGER KNOWS ABOUT IT.
AND SO AGAIN, I THINK THAT DIRECTION THAT WE VOTED ON AND WE AGREED ON AT THAT TIME WAS TO HAVE THE CITY MANAGER DO IT.
NOW, IF WE DON'T LIKE THAT, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHANGE IT.
JUST LIKE THE POLICY THAT WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE THAT YOU'RE SAYING THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO ASK PERMISSION TO GO ON THESE TRIPS AGAIN, THAT'S A POLICY COULD BE CHANGED IF A COUNCIL MEMBER PARSLEY WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THAT SHE CAN THE SAME WAY.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CITY MANAGER TO BE THE ONE TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA, THEN WE CAN DO THAT TOO.
BUT EITHER WAY, IT'S NOT BEEN DONE AT ALL SINCE, SINCE WE'VE TOOKEN THAT VOTE OTHER DISCUSSION,
[01:50:03]
OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 23, DISCUSSION AND UPDATE FROM MEETING WITH LOBBYISTS IN WASHINGTON, DC CUSTOMER PARTIALLY.SO I'M JUST GOING TO DO A REALLY QUICK RECAP OF WHAT WE DID FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WERE NOT, UM, DID NOT GO TO DIZZY.
UM, WE DID HAVE MEETINGS WITH THE LOBBYIST, UM, ON THURSDAY, APRIL THE EIGHTH, WE HAVE A FEW CONGRESSIONAL MEETINGS.
WE MET WITH THE OFFICE OF SENATOR KORN CORNYN AND CRUZ AND CONGRESSMAN ROY.
AND WE ALSO MET WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
WE HAD DISCUSSIONS ON THE OPTIONS THAT WE HAD TO TRY TO GET FUNDING FOR DIFFERENT PROJECTS.
UM, WHAT WERE OUR GRANT OPTIONS AND TIMELINES, AND WE SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED OUR RACE GRANT APPLICATION.
UM, SO, UM, I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
I THINK WE DID IT RIGHT ON TIME AND THE WORDING WAS JUST FANTASTIC.
UM, WE ALSO MET WITH THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AND THEY HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE.
UM, WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? A LOT OF BRAINSTORMING HAPPENED IN THAT MEETING, UM, TRY TO GET THEIR, UM, OPINION AND BEST WAYS TO GET FUNDING IF THERE WAS ANY AVAILABLE.
I DON'T THINK WE WERE LUCKY THERE.
UM, FROM THE FEDERAL STANDPOINT, I GUESS, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF, WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE GONNA BE FOR THE LIBRARY.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO GIVE IT ANY OTHER POINTS OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THE C YEAH.
OR YOU HIT ON SOMETHING DONE? YELLOW WAS THE, UM, THERE WAS SOME DATES FOR SOME POSSIBLE GRANT FUNDING THAT WE WEREN'T AWARE ABOUT THAT WE'RE CLOSING UP ON IT AS QUICKLY.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO, UH, GET WITH STAFF AND GET THOSE APPLICATIONS IN TO GET, UH, OUR APPLICATION IN FOR THAT FUNDING AHEAD OF THE, UH, CLOSING DATES.
SO THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL ON THAT TRIPS.
THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT'S PROBABLY A BIG PLUS FROM THAT TRIP IS GETTING OUR PAPERWORK SUBMITTED IN TIME.
SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP BECAUSE RAY IS WHAT IT WAS CALLED, THE RAGE GRANT CUSTOMER TOBY'S.
UM, THANK YOU ALL FOR FOUR MORE THINKING OF BRINGING THAT UP.
SO THIS RAISE GRANT APPLICATION, WHAT WOULD BE, WHAT WOULD THAT BE USED FOR IF WE WERE TO GET APPROVED FOR WHAT, WHAT MONIES WOULD BE ALLOCATED FOR WHAT KIND OF PROJECT FOR THE CITY IS THAT THAT WILL BE FOUR OR VIVE TRAILS.
SO IT'S, UH, IT, THERE ARE GRANTS THAT ARE COMING FOR THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE USED FOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN A COMMUNITY.
UM, SO I BELIEVE THAT WE SUBMITTED OR BY TRAIL PROJECT, UM, FOR THAT GRANT, CORRECT? YES MA'AM.
SO THE RES GRANT REALLY HAS ONLY A FEW CERTAIN PROJECTS THAT ARE EVEN ELIGIBLE OR QUALIFY FOR THOSE FUNDS AND, UH, TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS, LIKE THE TRAIL THAT OFFSET CARBON EMISSIONS TAKE TRAFFIC OFF THE ROAD, PROMOTE SAFETY IS ONE OF THE AVAILABLE, UH, AVENUES FOR THOSE FUNDS.
THERE'S MULTIPLE COMPONENTS TO THE RAISE GRANT.
AND THIS YEAR WE HAVE APPLIED FOR THE PLANNING COMPONENT, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, $5 MILLION PLUS OR MINUS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S TYPICALLY THE AWARD AMOUNT THEY LOOK FOR AND THEY NEED IN A FUTURE YEAR, ONCE THE PLANNING ASPECT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, THEN WE CAN GO BACK FOR WHAT'S CALLED THE MEGA, UH, PORTION OF THE RES GRANT.
AND THAT IS 20 TO $30 MILLION.
WE WOULD BE RIGHT IN THAT RANGE ABOUT $25 MILLION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VIVITROL.
SO WOULD WE, SINCE WE HIRED THESE, THIS CONSULTING COMPANY OR THE FIRM THAT WE HAD, SO IS THAT THE PLAN THAT WE HAVE WITH THEM, THIS, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THIS RES GRANT, THEY COULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AT LEAST THE MONEYS 50 MILLION FOR THE FIRST ROUND IT, AND MAYBE POSSIBLY WE CAN GET QUALIFIED FOR 30 MORE MILLION DOLLARS.
SO THE FIRST ROUND WILL BE 5 MILLION FOR THE PLANNING.
AND THEN, UH, HOPEFULLY 25 MILLION BEYOND THAT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION.
DID YOU, DID THEY GIVE US A TIMELINE AS WHEN WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM AND WILL THEY COME DOWN, WILL THEY COME DOWN TO OUR CITY AND PRESENT IT OR DO WE HAVE TO FLY BACK UP TO DC TO GET THAT? UH, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO FLY BACK TO RECEIVE THE FUNDS, SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN RECEIVE THOSE HERE.
I'LL ALSO JUST ADD ON TO THE COMMENTS THAT THERE WAS A SEPARATE APPROPRIATION CALLED STAG, UH, THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT ON THIS TRIP AS WELL, AND MADE AN APPLICATION TO LLOYD DOGGETT'S, UH, OFFICE.
AND THAT WAS FOR THE, UH, RECLAIMED WATER SYSTEM.
SO THAT'S A $2 MILLION REQUEST THAT WE'VE ALSO
[01:55:01]
SUBMITTED JUST IN TIME AS WELL.SO THERE'S, YOU KNOW, $7 MILLION ROUGHLY OF, OF PROJECTS THAT WE'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED FOR.
THERE'S MORE COMING, WHICH COULD BE EITHER CHRISSY OR AS SURFACE CROSSING GRANTS THROUGH THE FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION.
AND THEN AS WAS MENTIONED THROUGH THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, THERE'S OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES OF FUNDING AVAILABLE.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE KIND OF INFORMATION THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
AND, YOU KNOW, CAUSE WE WERE ADVOCATING FOR A LOBBYIST LAST YEAR AND IT GOT KIND OF CONTROVERSIAL, BUT AT LEAST NOW WE CAN KIND OF SEE A PLAN OF ACTION THAT WE'RE HAVING WITH THIS COMPANY THAT WE HIRED AND START SEEING SOME DATES START SEEING DOLLAR AMOUNTS AND START, UH, TYING UP SOME OF THESE DOLLARS TO THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE POSSIBLY LOOKING AT FOR THE CITY.
SO I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY WHO WENT DOWN THERE AND ADVOCATED FOR THE CITY.
SO, UM, INITIALLY I WAS VERY HESITANT TO GO WITH A LOBBYIST AND, UM, I WILL SAY I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE AND I HEARD BACK FROM DIFFERENT RESIDENTS, SOME OF WHICH DIDN'T REALLY APPRECIATE US GOING TO WASHINGTON, BUT WHAT THEY DON'T REALIZE IS, UM, THE MEETINGS WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES THAT WE HAD IN THE VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, UM, WAS ESSENTIAL TO HELPING US, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO THE, THE GRANTS THAT, UM, WE NEEDED TO SUBMIT IN A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME.
SO, UM, MY FAVORITE PART WAS THE FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION.
AND WHEN WE SPOKE TO THEM, IT WAS NICE TO GET THAT AUTOMATIC FEEDBACK.
MEANING WE ASKED A QUESTION AND THEY GAVE US AN ANSWER ALL WITHIN REAL TIME.
AND SO I KNOW WE COULD DO THAT VIA ZOOM, BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE DID DO A ZOOM MEETING AND IT WAS NOT THE SAME.
IT WAS NOT EVEN A LITTLE LIKE, SO, UM, WHEN WE MET WITH THE FRA, THEY PROVIDED TIPS TO HELP US WITH INFORMATION WHICH WERE REQUIRED AND THEY HELPED US WITH OUR GRANT APPLICATION.
UM, THE PEOPLE WERE REALLY NICE AND THEY WERE HONEST AND THEY WERE OPEN.
AND, UM, I THINK OVERALL THE TRIP WAS, UH, BENEFICIAL TO NOT JUST, UM, US LEARNING, HOW, YOU KNOW, WASHINGTON DC WORKS, BUT FOR THE CITY AND TRYING TO OBTAIN THIS GRANTS, ESPECIALLY, UM, AND THE REALITY OF ATTAINING GRANTS, BECAUSE SOME OF THEM WERE LIKE, NOPE, THAT'S NOT GOING TO QUALIFY OR SO, AND THAT SAVES US TIME FOR OUR STAFF IN NOT APPLYING FOR JUST ANY OLD GRANTS.
SO, UM, THE TRIP OVERALL, I REALLY APPRECIATED AND I ENJOYED, UM, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYBODY THAT HASN'T GONE TO, TO TAKE IT, GET GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.
NEXT STEP, JENNA, I'M 24 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING OVERHEAD LINES ON ONE 50 EAST.
UM, I SHOULD HAVE SOME BACKUP MATERIAL IF SOMEONE COULD, UM, PUT THAT UP FOR ME.
IS THAT POSSIBLE? TAKE ON JUST A MINUTE.
SO I'M GOING TO DISCUSS THE, UM, OVERHEAD WIRES THAT ARE ON ONE 50 EAST AND I DRIVE BY THERE ALL THE TIME AND I REALIZE HOW LOW THEY ARE, BUT WHAT I REALLY DIDN'T NOTICE, UM, UNTIL I GOT OUT AND TOOK SOME PICTURES, WERE THE EXPOSED WIRES THAT WERE, UM, HANGING.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST PICTURE, IS THESE WIRES GOING THROUGH A TREE? UM, WHICH, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE NOT, UM, ELECTRICAL WIRES, BUT, UM, THERE, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT'S GOING TO BE SAFE FOREVER.
SO, AND THEN IF YOU GO TO THE THIRD ONE, THERE'S ONE THAT I COULD LITERALLY JUMP ROPE WITH.
UM, ANOTHER CONCERN OF MINE WAS THE EXPOSED WIRES, AND I THINK THAT MIGHT BE THE LAST ONE AND THAT IS JUST THE WIRES AND NOT THE LAST ONE AND KNOW, I DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT IT UP ON THE SCREEN, SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN DO THAT.
UM, JUST REAL QUICK, THE SECOND PICTURE IS THE ONE THAT REALLY HAS ME MORE CONCERNED WAS THE, THERE'S A LEANING TELEPHONE POLE WITH NO, UH, WIRES TIED TO IT AT ALL.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT REALLY STUCK OUT TO ME, THE VEGETATION ALL AROUND THIS AREA AS WELL, UH, GOING INTO THE POSE AND, AND INTO THE LINES, BUT THE EXPOSED LINES OF DOWNLINES, IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A BUNCH OF CLUTTER.
I MEAN, EVEN THE LINES ARE UP, LOOK CLUTTERED.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SOMEBODY WENT UP THERE AND JUST DID THE BEST THEY COULD.
AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE.
I HATE TO SAY IT LOOKS REALLY, REALLY BAD.
IF YOU GO TO THE SECOND TO THE THIRD OR THE THIRD TO THE LAST ONE, THAT'S A, WAS A CONCERN TO ME BESIDES, I MEAN, IT DOES LOOK REALLY AWFUL.
AND, UM, WHEN I WAS TAKING THESE, I JUST GOT MORE AND MORE FRUSTRATING, A LITTLE BIT EMBARRASSED.
UM, AND SO I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO COUNCIL BECAUSE
[02:00:01]
I HAD SOME QUESTIONS AS FAR AS THE MINIMUM REQUIRED HEIGHT AT THE CITY HAS THAT, UM, AND HOW WE WERE ENFORCING THAT WITH THE PROVIDERS.WHAT DO WE, WHAT CAN WE DO AS A CITY TO ENFORCE, UH, CLEANLINESS CLEAN THIS UP A LITTLE BIT? SO MOST LIKELY IT'S A POLE OWNED BY PEC AND THEN LEASED OUT FOR THE TELECOM TO, UH, YOU KNOW, WHOEVER, WHICHEVER PROVIDER, MOST LIKELY SPECTRUM IN THE EVENT WHERE SPECTRUM THEN ABANDONS TO LEASE, YOU KNOW, UNDERGROUNDS, WHATEVER PC TYPICALLY LEAVES THE POLE, UH, OR WITHOUT A LOT OF URGING FROM US.
SO WE CAN REQUIRE THEM TO TAKE IT DOWN IN THE EVENT OF LOW WIRES.
WE WILL ALWAYS, UH, ONCE WE KNOW ABOUT THEM, WE'LL REACH OUT TO DISPATCH WHO WILL THEN NOTIFY THE, THE CORRECT CARRIER WILL TYPICALLY NEED A POLE NUMBER FOR THAT.
UH, THERE ARE, SO IF IT'S IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, I'M REALLY NOT SURE IF THERE'S A MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIREMENT BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, THE GRADE AND THEN THE, THE WIRE CLEARLY ANYTHING THAT'S THAT'S HANGING DOWN, UM, IS, IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
UH, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A HEIGHT.
THERE'S ALSO HIGH REQUIREMENT BETWEEN THE ELECTRICAL WIRES AND THE PHONE WIRES.
THE REASON I KNOW THAT IT'S CAUSE WE'VE DEALT WITH IT ON SEVERAL PROPERTIES OF AN AUSTIN.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ACROSS THE BOARD.
SO THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S STATE MANDATED THAT GIVES THEM HIGH REQUIREMENTS.
MOST LIKELY THERE'S, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT'S DROOPING AND WE SEE THAT FREQUENTLY IS GOING TO BE TELECOM.
UH, SO AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN TOUCH IT AND IT'D BE OKAY NOW IT'S NOT AN ELECTRIC FIND A WIRE, BUT UH, LET US KNOW WHICH POLE YEAH.
IT'S UP ON THE SCREEN KIND OF.
AND SO, YEAH, THAT'S JUST, THERE'S TWO OF THEM THAT ARE COMPLETELY LEANING.
UM, AND I, IT, SO I CAN IMAGINE THOSE AREN'T BEING USED, BUT OTHER THAN NOT LOOKING NICE, IT'S KIND OF SCARY BY FOUR SEASONS ON ONE 50.
WELL, WE'LL, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK.
I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS, YOU KNOW, REMOVING POLES AND WIRES AND I RIGHT AWAY AS PART OF OUR BEAUTIFICATION PLAN IS ABSOLUTELY PRIORITY FOR US.
SO ESPECIALLY POLES NOT BEING USED, WE'LL TRY TO GET THOSE DOWN.
AND IF WIRES ARE HANGING WELL, WE'LL HAVE THE UTILITY COME OUT, LIFT THOSE.
CAN I HAVE AN UPDATE? UH, CAN I SAY LIKE THE SECOND MEETING IN JUNE? OKAY.
UH, NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 25 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING SAFETY ISSUES ON SOUTH OLD STAGECOACH ROAD, UH, CONESTOGA DRIVE AND SCOTT STREET TO INCLUDE DISCUSSION REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN CUSTOMER FULL-SCALE.
UM, FOR THIS ONE, I WILL NEED THE MAP THAT I PUT IN THERE WITH IT PUT UP, PLEASE.
SO THIS AREA I'LL JUST GO AND START IS OVER BY, UM, BY THE LIBRARY.
AND SO THERE'S A ROAD THERE'S SCOTT STREET, AND THEN THERE'S OLD STAGE COACH ROAD AND THEY ARE ON OPPOSITES.
AND I WANT TO SAY THEY'RE KIND OF PARALLEL.
UM, AND THERE'S A NEIGHBORHOOD IN BETWEEN.
SO IF YOU'LL SEE, SCOTT GOES NORTH AND SOUTH AS DOES OSAGE COACH, AND THEN IN BETWEEN CON THERE'S A ROAD CALLED STOCK DRIVE AND IT CONNECTS THE ROADS TOGETHER.
UM, AND IT'S A PRETTY LONG, UM, STRIP AND THERE WERE ZERO STOP SIGNS IN THAT.
UM, AND SO SENTARA DRIVE IS OFTEN USE AS A PASS THROUGH TO CONNECT SCOTT AND ALLSTATE COACH ROAD BY NON-HOME OWNERS IN THAT AREA.
UH, THE LENGTH OF THIS ROAD IN COMBINATION WITH NO STOP SIGNS MAKES THIS AN EASY ROAD TO SPEED ON.
UH, THERE WAS A PARK LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF STAGGER DRIVE, WHICH IS HIGHLY UTILIZED BY KIDS AND FAMILIES.
SO THE PROBLEM IS, UH, SCOTT AND OLD STAGECOACH ROAD, UH, THOSE ROADS PLAN ON BEING A, UH, THEY'RE GONNA GO FROM TWO TO FOUR LANES, WHICH WILL INCREASE THE SAFETY ISSUES, UM, BETWEEN THAT ROAD.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, UM, IF WE, AS A CITY CAN GET IN FRONT OF THOSE SAFETY ISSUES, UM, AND THEN TRY TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO THE CURRENT STACEY SAFETY ISSUES.
UM, AND A FEW THINGS THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD MAYBE STOP SIGNS OR I DID, UM, EMAIL STAFF AT THE LAST MINUTE.
UH, I THINK THAT WAS ABOUT THE SPEED HUMP POLICY.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S STILL IN EFFECT.
UM, I KNOW THE CITY DOESN'T NECESSARILY
[02:05:01]
LIKE SPEED HUMPS.UM, BUT WHEN I WROTE OUT THERE I'VE BEEN OUT IN THAT AREA TWO TIMES AND BOTH TIMES IT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS.
UM, THE STAGECOACH PARK, WHICH, UM, IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH I THINK IS LIKE THAT IN A LOT OF OUR NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
UM, IF IT'S NOT ENCOURAGED, THEN IT'S, I'M ASSUMING IT'S FOR 'EM TO BE EASY ACCESS.
BUT WHAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT AS A CITY IS THE ROADS THAT CONNECT TO THAT AND HOW WE CAN MAKE THEM SAFE TO ENSURE THAT THE KIDS AND THE FAMILIES THAT ARE IN THOSE PARKS, UM, ARE ABLE TO JUST HAVE A GOOD TIME RIGHT NOW, THOSE PEOPLE, UM, STRESS A LOT AND THEY DON'T NECESSARILY LIKE THEIR KIDS TO GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY WITHOUT OF COURSE BEING RIGHT UP UNDERNEATH THEM.
SO, UM, SO I WAS OPEN AND HOPING THAT WE COULD TRY TO FIGURE OUT SOME KIND OF PLAN TO, UH, HELP THIS NEIGHBORHOOD OUT AND TO INCLUDE, YOU KNOW, THE SCOTT STREET AND THE OLD STAGECOACH ROAD, WHICH I THINK, UM, BOTH OF THOSE HAVE, UH, TONS OF ISSUES THAT COME ALONG WITH THEM AS WELL.
SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU REALLY WANT TO DO A ROUNDABOUT AT SCOTT STREET AND STAGE COACH, AND THEN ONE RUNNER JUST SAYING, IF YOU WANT TO SOLVE IT, MAYOR PRO TEM.
SO, YOU KNOW, NORMALLY I'D PROBABLY SAY THAT UNFORTUNATELY, ROUNDABOUTS ARE MADE TO GET TRAFFIC FLOWING THROUGH IN THIS INSTANT.
WE ACTUALLY NEED THE TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN.
SCOTT STREET, NINE 30 AND, AND STAGECOACH ROAD ARE NOW THE NEW
THEY WOULDN'T, WELL, I I'LL JUST SAY, I KNOW RESIDENT I'D TAKE THE ROUNDABOUT AND BURLESON PRETTY QUICKLY ASKING SEVERAL OF THEM, DO IT, FIRE OUT THROUGH A STOP SIGN.
BUT HERE ON THIS ONE, RIGHT HERE, IT'S UM, IT'S THE CONCERN IS PEOPLE TURNING INTO THE SUBDIVISION CAUSE PEOPLE ARE SPEEDING ON THE TWO ROADWAYS OUT, UH, COUNCILMEMBER FLORES COWS BROUGHT FORWARD.
UM, THE, THE CONCERN THERE IS WHEN YOU'RE TURNING LEFT, ARE YOU PULLING OUT WHEN SOMEBODY IS COMING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, THERE IS 35 MILES AN HOUR AND PEOPLE WERE DOING 65 MILES AN HOUR.
YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CHANCE OF ANYTHING.
UM, JUST DOWN THE ROAD A LITTLE FURTHER, MY MOTHER WAS REAR-ENDED, UH, TURNING LEFT WITH HER SIGNAL ON.
SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOT, WHEN IT'S NOW, HOW OFTEN IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN, EVEN GOING FURTHER NORTH ON STAGECOACH.
THERE'S A COVERT JUST BEFORE THE, UH, UH, NEW DEVELOPMENT.
THERE'S A, THERE'S A TURN THERE ON THAT, UH, NEAR THE OAK TREE.
SO YEAH, THERE'S, THERE'S A TURN THERE AND WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE IN THE MORNINGS IS TRAFFIC IS BACKING UP FROM THE STOP SIGN OFF A ONE 50, AND PEOPLE WERE COMING AROUND THAT TURN REALLY FAST AND ALMOST ORDERING PEOPLE IN THE BACK.
MAYBE THAT TURN IS WELL LOWERING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THAT TURN.
I'VE SEEN A LOT OF ATTORNEYS THROUGHOUT THE STATES THAT HAVE A LOWER SPEED ON THE TURN.
UH, SO MAYBE BRINGING THAT DOWN TO 15 MILES AN HOUR AROUND THAT TURN TO TRY TO KEEP SOMEONE FROM GETTING HURT.
SO I THINK THOSE ARE TWO CONCERNS.
THAT TWO ITEMS THAT MIGHT HELP SOME OF THE TRAFFIC FLOW THERE ON STAGE COACH.
BUT, UH, YEAH, RIGHT NOW IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, UH, PRETTY MUCH A NIGHTMARE AND IT'S, IT'S JUST A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS REALLY HURT.
THINK COWS WERE KILLED FOR MARINAS FOR OH, THAT'S WHERE TOBY IS.
THEY WERE LOOKING AT SO MUCH TRAFFIC FLOW, BUT TRAFFIC CONTROL.
SO MAYBE LEON CAN BE ABLE TO HELP US WITH THIS HERE.
IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, CAN STILL GET DRIVE, DOING TO SEE WHERE TWO STOP SIGNS COULD BE UTILIZED, MAYBE, UH, NOT SO MUCH LORRAINE DRIVE, BUT WHEN YOU HIT TWO, SIX SHOOT DRIVE WITH A CROSSING, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE PART THERE THAT SLOWS IT DOWN RIGHT HERE, YOU GOT, YOU COULD PUT A FOUR-WAY STOP THERE, NOT SO MUCH ON JOHNNY CAKE DRIVE.
CAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE THAT CURVE AND YOU HAVE A STOP SIGN THERE, PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO SEE IT.
THINK IT'S STILL GOING TO RUN IT.
AND IT WOULD BE ONLY THREE WAY.
SO AS YOU CONTINUE DOWN, THEN YOU LOOK AT ANOTHER STOPLIGHT.
I MEAN, A STOP SIGN AT THE KENYAN DRIVE RIGHT THERE WITH THE CROSSWALK AS WELL, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE TURNING INWARD AND YOU MAKE THAT LEFT TO TRY TO GO UPSTAGE COATS, YOU STILL HAVE THAT CURB, BUT THEN YOU HIT YOUR FIRST STOP SIGN AND THEN YOU CONTINUE UP FURTHER AND YOU GO AROUND A LITTLE CURB THERE AND BOOM, YOU HIT ANOTHER STOP SIGN, AND THEN YOU CAN CONTINUE ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN YOU CAN MAKE YOUR RIGHT OR LEFT.
BUT I THINK RIGHT THERE BY STAGECOACH PARK, A STOP SIGN BETWEEN THERE OR JOHNNY CAKE TRIVE WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT PART THERE AND YOU'RE ADDING A CROSSWALK FOR PEOPLE TO CROSS OVER SAFELY.
[02:10:02]
UH, WE HAD THE SAME ISSUE IN KENSINGTON, ON DOWNEY, WHERE WE JUST HAD PEOPLE JUST FLY THROUGH.WHEN WE FINALLY PUT A STOP SIGN ON BOTH ON KENSINGTON DRIVE AND THEN DOWN BY THE COAST STREET AND IT SLOWED TRAFFIC DOWN COMPLETELY.
AND, UM, IT COULD BE SOMETHING LOOKING IN THAT WAY FOR JUST THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THERE TO SLOW IT DOWN.
SO WE HAVE A PROCESS FOR DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT, UH, STOP SIGNS ARE WARRANTED.
I CAN CITE HOMETOWN KYLE, UH, KENSINGTON, JUST SO, UM, UH, STEEPLECHASE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PLACES, SILVERADO SPRING BRANCH, WHERE WE'VE DISCUSSED PUTTING IN STOP SIGNS.
SO THE BEST PRACTICE I WOULD SUGGEST IS TO GIVE A DIRECT STAFF TO DO WHAT'S CALLED A WARRANT STUDY.
THEY ACTUALLY, INSTEAD OF JUST ANECDOTES, UM, YOU KNOW, ONE PERSON IN THEIR STORIES OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THEIR STORIES BECAUSE I'VE DRIVEN THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION PROBABLY 50 OR 60 TIMES, I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT STREET.
UH, AND THE WAY THAT THIS PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION WAS DESIGNED, I WAS HERE WHEN THE ZONING WAS APPROVED FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, IT GOES BACK THAT FAR.
SO, UM, THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE IT IS TO, AND IT'S A COMBINATION OF A ENGINEER, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND CHIEF OF POLICE, CHIEF OF POLICE.
THEY GO OUT THERE AND PUT THE STRIPS OUT.
THEN THEY COME BACK WITH A REPORT AND A RECOMMENDATION ON WHAT THEY THINK IS BEST TO DO, AS OPPOSED TO US KIND OF JUST THROWING OUT, UH, YOU KNOW, OUR THOUGHTS, UH, JUST IN GENERAL.
AND I'M SURE THEY WOULD COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR ROUNDABOUTS, RIGHTLY ON, JUST KIDDING JOKE, UM, SORT OF A JOKE, BUT THAT WOULD BE MY THOUGHT AS FAR AS HOW TO MOVE THIS FORWARD IS TO GIVE THAT DIRECTION AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE FOR IT TO BE, OH, OKAY.
ONE LAST THING, MISS A COUNCIL MEMBER FLOOR SCALE.
WHAT ABOUT ON THE VERY TOP WHERE IT SAYS CAT GARNER, TRIVE, ANY ISSUES WITH PEOPLE GOING UP THERE WHEN THEY BOOKED THAT RIGHT.
TURN GOING ALL THE WAY UP ON THE TOP AND YOU HIT THAT RIGHT.
THAT LEFT CURB AND PEOPLE JARRED ALL THE WAY DOWN.
ARE WE LOOKING AT THAT AS WELL? BECAUSE ONCE ALL THIS GETS DEVELOPED OUT, YOU'RE LOOKING AT NOT ONLY A SOUTH ROAD, WHICH YOU'RE ALSO LOOKING AT ANOTHER NORTH ROAD THAT WILL LEAD OUT TO SUBDIVISION UP ON TOP IN DUE TIME.
SO MY CONCERN IS I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
IT GOES UP, BUT I THINK WE CAN MAYBE, UM, ALLEVIATE THAT ISSUE IF WE DEAL WITH SO OLD STAGECOACH ROAD IN, IN, IN THAT, AND WITH THAT BREATHS ALSO SCOTT STREET.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT, IS THERE A LONG TERM CONCERNS WHEN I WAS SPEAKING WITH, UM, MR. CULTERMAN, HE MADE MENTION THAT.
I THINK HE BELIEVED, I THINK HE LIVED ON SLAUGHTER.
HE LIVED IN A LITTLE TOWN IN AUSTIN AND NOT A LITTLE TOWN, A LITTLE STREET IN AUSTIN, WHICH EVENTUALLY BECAME A BIG STREET.
AND HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T, HE MOVED AWAY FROM THERE JUST FOR THAT.
AND SO, UM, IF WE COULD KIND OF GET IN FRONT OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE GOING TO COME WITH OH, OLD STAGECOACH ROAD AND WITH SCOTT STREET, I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL TO EVERYBODY.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE LOOKING AT ALSO JUST THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT YEAH, THAT SOUNDS FUN TOO.
ARE YOU SAYING YOU WANT TO PUT STOP SIGNS ON STAGE COACH THERE TO STOP? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? NO, I'M JUST SAYING WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION ITSELF, IF YOU LOOK ON THE TOP, I WAS TALKING ABOUT CAT GARNER.
IF, IF THE DOSE PEOPLE UP FURTHER UP IN THAT SUBDIVISION ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, OR IF GARDNER, UH, CAT GARNER EVENTUALLY LEADS TO STAGECOACH, YOU'LL HAVE A NORTH AND A SOUTH ENTRANCE THAT LEADS TO STAGECOACH.
BUT AS FAR AS THERE, I DO, UH, LIKE YOUR RECOMMENDATION MARITA, WE HAVE TO GET WITH THE CHIEF AND GET WITH LEON TO SEE IF STOP SIGNS ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL IN THAT AREA, BECAUSE YOU ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT THE LAYOUT OF THE HOUSE.
IF YOU WERE TO PUT STOP SIGNS, UM, IF IT'S GOING TO BE IN SOMEBODY'S YARD OR IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, YOU KNOW, CAUSE HE LOOKED THROUGH THE HOUSES DOWN ON THE BOTTOM, BUT UH, I LEAVE IT UP TO THE EXPERTS BECAUSE THAT'S WAY ABOVE MY PAY GRADE.
I MIGHT RECOMMEND THAT THIS BE BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE HOA.
I KNOW THAT IN THE PAST, THE CITY HAS PUT FORWARD SIGNS BASED ON RESIDENTS WITHIN A NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THEN THE HOA HAS COME BACK AND ASKED US TO REMOVE THOSE.
SO TYPICALLY IF AN HOA GETS TOGETHER AND LOOKS AT THE ISSUE AND THEN MAKES A RECOMMENDATION BACK TO WHAT WE CALL OUR INTERNAL TRAFFIC TASK AND WE CAN DO A TRAFFIC WARRANT AND SEE IF THAT MEETS TME TCD.
WELL, I HAVE, UM, LIKE 30 FACEBOOK POSTS.
I'M A VERY ANGRY PEOPLE WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY IN THIS AREA.
SO WE CAN WAIT AND BRING THIS BACK, UM, AFTER IT GOES TO, UM, AN HOA MEETING.
[02:15:01]
THINK IT'S AN IRRELEVANT COMPLAINT.UM, AND I THINK THERE'S NO THERE'S NO HARM IN DOING OR HAVING STAFF EVALUATE IT NOW.
UM, AND THEN BRING IT BACK IF, IF THAT'S WHAT STAFF RECOMMENDS, UM, FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, I GUESS.
I THINK THAT'D BE GREAT TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS JUST IN CASE, UH, WE'RE GOING DOWN THAT ROAD.
I'D LOVE TO SEE THE EVALUATION FROM STAFF AND, BUT ALSO REACHING OUT TO THE HOA AS WELL, MAYOR BECAUSE FOR IT TO BE, GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO CONDUCT THAT SURVEY TRAFFIC, WARM TRAFFIC WARRANTS TO ALSO INCLUDE, UM, RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE HOA SECOND MOVE BY CUSTOMER TO BE A SECOND ABOUT CUSTOMER ELLISON.
UH, IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? YES, PLEASE.
UM, IF POSSIBLE, CAN WE AMEND THAT TO ALSO LOOK AT SCOTT STREET AND OLD STAGECOACH ROAD AND EVALUATE THOSE AS WELL? WELL, HANG ON, WE NEED, WE NEED SOME SCOPE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN SCOTT STREET AND ULTIMATELY TO CONTROL THE INTERSECTIONS? UH, JUST THE ROADS ALTOGETHER.
THE PROBLEM IS THOSE ARE GOING TO GO FROM TWO TO FOUR LANE ROADS.
AND JUST EVEN IF IT'S JUST CONFIRMING THAT THAT'S, WHAT'S BEST FOR THAT AREA, BOTH ON SCOTT AND ALLSTATE COAST ROAD.
THAT'S A, I JUST WANT TO GET A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THAT.
UM, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY.
IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE MAGNIFIED IF WE TAKE THOSE ROADS AND MAKE THEM BIGGER BECAUSE IN MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO USE THAT CUT-THROUGH SO WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES.
MORE, MORE LANES EQUALS MORE CARS.
THAT'S LIKE THE UNIVERSAL RULE, RIGHT? DOUBLE THE LANES, DOUBLE THE CARS.
I WOULD LOVE STAFF TO EVALUATE THAT AS WELL.
IF A COUNCIL MEMBER TOBY US WOULD BE WILLING TO AMEND HIS MOTION TO INCLUDE THAT.
WELL, HANG ON MR. SELLERS GO, GO AHEAD.
SO THE SCOTT STREET IN PARTICULAR WAS, UH, RECOMMENDED IN THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN TO BE AROUND ABOUT BECAUSE THAT WILL BE THE EXTENSION OF, UH, OUR IN ONE-FIFTY WEST.
UH, SO THE FOUR LANE WILL TERMINATE, YOU KNOW, OR WE'LL REDUCE BACK TO TWO LANE FURTHER SOUTH, BUT THE FOUR LANE, UH, WILL THEN CONTINUE EASTWARD AS PART OF THE HIGHWAY RELOCATION, STAGECOACH.
UH, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT HAS BEEN EXAMINED FOR ANY SORT OF TRAFFIC CONTROL.
WELL, I WOULD LIKE IF POSSIBLE, I'D LIKE TO JUST SEE, UH, I DON'T THINK IT'S EVER GOING TO HURT ANYBODY TO REEVALUATE TWO OR THREE TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR MASTER TRACE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, UM, WHICH I KNOW HAS ALREADY BEEN AMENDED.
I THINK AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, WE AMENDED IT SIX TIMES IN ONE VOTE.
SO, UM, I THINK IN ORDER IT'S A MEASURE TWICE CUT ONCE KIND OF THING.
AND SO I AM NOT OPPOSED TO, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR US TO MEASURE PRECISELY THE FIRST, THE MOTION IS REAL CLEAR.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS EMOTION IS JUST TO LOOK AT.
ALSO, DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THOSE STAGE COACH ROAD GETTING, LIKE HAVING THEM LOOK AT IT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT SHOULD BE A FOUR-LANE ROAD? SO YOU WANT THEM TO DO A WARRANT STUDY BECAUSE THE CURRENT MOTION IS FOR, IS FOR US TO DO A WARRANT STUDY FOR THE SUBDIVISIONS PROBLEMS IF YOU'RE WANTING TO AMEND AN AD.
I MEAN, MY, UM, MY, UH, AGENDA ITEM H SPECIFICALLY TALKS ABOUT THAT, SO I DIDN'T MAKE THE MOTION.
AND SO IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO AMEND IT, THAT'S FINE.
I CAN MAKE A MOTION AFTERWARDS.
SO IF YOU CALL FOR A VOTE MAYOR FOR THAT.
MOTION CARRIES SEVEN TO ZERO COUNTS WERE FORCED KALE.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR STAFF TO EVALUATE ALL STAGE COACH ROAD AND SCOTT STREET FOR FUTURE PLANS AND OR AMENDMENTS TO THE TRANSPORTATION, MOST MASTER PLAN, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY TOOK HIM FROM FOUR LANES WOULD BE IDEAL IN THOSE AREAS.
CAN WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE A SECOND, DO OTHERS? THERE'S A MOTION ON THE TABLE TO REEVALUATE OLD STAGECOACH AND SCOTT STREET, AS IT RELATES TO THE BARE CAPACITY IN THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
IS THERE A SECOND? HOLD ON A SECOND.
THE MOTION'S MADE THE SECOND, UH, BY CASPER FLOORS.
KALE IS SECONDED BY COUNSELOR PARSLEY'S THERE'S DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION.
SO THIS IS ON THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND IT'S ABOUT ADDING THE LANES, BUT HOW FAR ON THE PROGRESS ARE WE FROM THERE? HOW, HOW LONG ARE WE BEFORE WE BUILD IT? WELL, UH, YOU KNOW, THE, THE ARM ONE-FIFTY REROUTING IS PART OF THE
[02:20:01]
NOVEMBER BOND QUESTION.IT'S ALSO PART OF THE, THE, UH, POTENTIAL CAMPO CALL, UH, IN 2023.
SO THE, IT IS ONE OF THE NINE PROJECTS THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD AND IS BEING LOOKED AT CURRENTLY BY WHICH FIRMLY ON CP AND WHY.
AND CPY JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE THE FIRM AS WELL, THAT THAT DID OUR TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN.
SO I THINK THEY CAN LOOK AT THAT VERY EASILY.
WE CAN ALSO ASK THEM, UH, FOR SOME SORT OF A STATEMENT AS TO WHY THEY RECOMMENDED STAGECOACH TO BE FOUR LANE ROAD.
THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
UH, KESPRY, ALISON, UH, SO JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, SO, UH, AND I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE SCOTT'S COMMENTS, SO I KNOW, AND I CERTAINLY KNOW THAT IT SAYS THE FOUR LANES ON THERE.
UH, ULTIMATELY THOSE THINGS WILL HAVE TO BE, UM, THERE'S A PROCESS TO GET THERE AND ULTIMATELY THERE WOULD MOST LIKELY BE A BOND CALLED FOR WHATEVER THAT IS, BUT, UH, IT CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, MR. SELLERS.
BUT EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS FOUR LANE ROAD, COULD IT, THAT IS JUST THE RIGHT OF WAY THAT IT COULD BE WIDE AS IT COULD STILL BE A THREE LANE ROAD.
AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL RIGHT AWAY THAT'S ALLOCATED COULD BE A MULTI-USE PATH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE NUMBER OF LANES IS A CAPACITY ISSUE IN LESSER RIGHT OF WAY ISSUE IN THIS AREA IN PARTICULAR, WE'RE ALREADY CONSTRAINED WITH 80 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY, UH, BECAUSE OF OTHER SECTIONS ON THE ROADWAY.
SO MOST LIKELY WE'LL CONTINUE THAT CROSS SECTION THROUGH THIS AREA, AT LEAST ON SCOTT STREET, UH, IN MOVING EAST, IT MAY WIDEN OUT A LITTLE BIT, BUT, UH, IT IS MORE OF A CAPACITY, YOU KNOW, AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC VEHICLE COUNT.
BUT THEN I, I, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY ISSUE WITH A CERTAIN THING GOING BACK TO CPM WHY, AND HAVING THEM CLARIFY WHY THEY MADE THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY MADE AND GAVE TO US LAST YEAR AND GIVE US FURTHER CLARITY ON THAT.
ANYTHING ELSE? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 25 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING I'M SORRY.
26 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE CITY IMPLEMENTING A CONFLICT CHECK POLICY FOR STAFF AND ELECTED OFFICIALS COUNTS FOR FOUR SCALE.
UM, SO IT'S FOR ME TO ENSURE THAT THE CITY OF KYLE'S ETHICAL COMMITMENT TO ITS RESIDENTS WILL NOT BE NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY ITS RAPID GROWTH.
A CONFLICT CHECK IS A PROCESS BY WHICH THE CITY CAN ENSURE THE RESIDENTS OF KYLE THAT NEITHER A SUBSTANTIAL NOR PERCEIVED OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS BETWEEN OUR CITY STAFF SLASH OFFICIALS AND OR CURRENT FUTURE VENDORS, CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, DEVELOPERS, LAND OWNERS, ET CETERA.
ADDITIONALLY, CONFLICT CHECKS HELP PROTECT THE CITY AND GUARDED AGAINST LIABILITIES.
CONFLICT CHECKS SHOULD BE RUN AT THE TIME WHEN THE CITY CREATES A RELATIONSHIP WITH A VENDOR SLASH CONTRACTOR SLASH SUBCONTRACTOR SLASH DEVELOPER SLASH LANDOWNER, ET CETERA, BY MILLING EMAILING THE NAME AND INFORMATION OF ALL PARTIES, WHICH WE'LL BE DOING BUSINESS WITH THE CITY TO STAFF AND OFFICIALS.
THIS SHOULD INCLUDE NAMES FOR ALL CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS COMPANIES, COMPANY NAMES, TO ANY GENERAL PARTNERS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS, OWNER'S NAMES AND POSSIBLE ADVERSE PARTIES, CITY STAFF, AND OFFICIALS WILL THEN RESPOND TO THE EMAIL WITH A SIMPLE, NO CONFLICT OR CONFLICT.
IN WHICH CASE, AN IMMEDIATE FOLLOW-UP WITH THE CITY STAFF SHOULD OCCUR.
CONFLICTS CAN BE RUN WITH SOFTWARE, WHICH ALLOWS FOR INFORMATION TO BE PLACED INTO A DATABASE FOR FUTURE CHECKS.
THE CITY WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO KNOW EVERY RECUSAL FOR MY STAFF OR AN OFFICIAL IS NECESSARY.
ALTHOUGH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A RECUSAL SHOULD ALWAYS REMAIN ON THE INDIVIDUAL STAFF OR OFFICIAL BUILDING TRUST WITH OUR RESIDENTS IS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE OF MY GOALS IN BEING ELECTED.
UM, SO MY INTENTION IS TO AVOID ACCUSATIONS, MAXIMIZE TRANSPARENCY, AND IT CREATES TRUST.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CUSTOMER FLOORS, KALE, YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO RESEARCH AND BRING BACK A CONFLICTS CHECK SOFTWARE.
UH, IN THE SECOND MEETING IN, BY THE FIRST MEETING IN JUNE, THERE'S A MOTION MADE, IS THERE SECOND MADE BY CUSTOMER FLOOR SCALE, SECOND AMENDED COUNCILMEMBER PARSLEY.
IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? MAY PRO TIP I'M HERE.
SCOTT, IS THIS AS SIMPLE AS THE SOFTWARE OR IS THIS GOING TO TAKE MORE STAFF TO, TO RUN THIS? WHAT, WHAT DOES THIS DETAIL, UH, I'M ON A SON? SURE.
I HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS SUFFER BEFORE, SO WE'LL HAVE TO RESEARCH IT, PAIGE.
UM, SINCE YOU ARE PROBABLY AWARE OF THE CONFLICTS CHECK PROCESS, UM, COULD YOU
[02:25:01]
ANSWER THAT QUESTION? I'M SORRY.MAYOR PRO TEM STILL HAVE THE FLOOR.
I THOUGHT I'D ANSWER HIS QUESTION WITH PATRONS.
UM, WELL I GUESS SINCE WE BROUGHT IT UP, GO AHEAD AND GO TO PAGE.
I'VE GOT ANOTHER QUESTION, BUT I'LL ASK, I, I COULDN'T ADVISE AS TO PRICING, BUT I COULD, UM, REACH OUT FIRST WITH SOME INFORMATION TO ASSIST STAFF WITH THAT.
SO MY CONCERN IS HAVING TO HIRE ANOTHER STAFF MEMBER TO RUN THIS OR TO ALLOCATE A STAFF MEMBER FROM A SHORT STAFF WE HAVE RIGHT NOW TO, TO HAVE TO DEDICATE TIME TO THIS.
CAUSE WE'RE REALLY SHORT-STAFFED RIGHT NOW.
I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION RIGHT NOW, BUT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES OR SOURCES OF INFORMATION TO ASSIST WITH THAT.
LIKE I'D LOVE TO GET MORE INFORMATION BEFORE I VOTE ON THIS.
CAUSE IT'S, UH, JUST TO GET ALL THE DETAILS WORKED OUT.
IF, IF COUNSEL RAQUEL WOULD BE OKAY WITH IT, THIS IS JUST A PAIN INFORMATION.
SO THIS ISN'T TO VOTE TO GET IT.
THIS IS JUST FOR STAFF TO RESEARCH IT, BRING IT BACK.
IF AT THAT TIME THEY FEEL LIKE IT'S TOO, IT'S GOING TO BE AN ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE.
UM, I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S WHAT I WANT.
UM, I'VE RUN CONFLICT CHECKS ALL THE TIME.
I THINK TO PUT THAT INFORMATION IN OUR DATABASE JUST TO KIND OF PROTECT EVERYBODY.
I APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATION, UH, OTHER DISCUSSION UH, ALL RIGHT.
UM, UH, WELL, I'M NOT GONNA, I HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION ABOUT THE VOTE.
SO IF YOU'LL WANT A ROLL CALL VOTE, WE CAN ROLL CALL VOTE.
UH, I DON'T, THIS ISN'T A PATH THAT I THINK WE SHOULD BE GOING OR THAT WE SHOULD BE SPENDING STAFF RESOURCES AND TIME.
SO IF EVERYBODY ELSE WANTS TO GO WITH IT, YOU ALL CAN.
SO IS THERE MORE DISCUSSION, ROLL CALL VOTE? YES.
PARSLEY RIZZO, MITCHELL ELLISON.
NEXT STEP AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 28 CONSIDERING POSSIBLE ACTION ON RFP FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR THE BUILDING PROJECT AT 1 0 4 SOUTH BURLESON.
AMBER LEWIS ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.
FOR THE RECORD BEFORE YOU, YOU HAVE AN RFP DRAFTED, READY TO GO FOR A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR THE WINTER FOREST SOUTH BURLESON PROJECT.
AND I'M HERE TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, UH, CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, JUST SO YOU KNOW, REPRESENTS THE OWNER AND THEY GET A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AND ANYTHING THAT GOES OVER THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
SO THEY HAVE, UM, A RESPONSIBILITY TO STICK TO THAT BUDGET.
I PARTICULARLY LIKE THIS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE'VE LEARNED FROM A MISTAKE AND THE MISTAKE WAS AS IT RELATED TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER, IN SOME OF OUR OTHER PROJECTS WHERE WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE THEM AT RISK STARTED UNTIL LATER THE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER WAS THE THING THAT WE WERE, I THINK PROBABLY MOST AFRAID OF BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A COMPLEX CONSTRUCTION.
UH, AND ONCE WE, ONCE WE STARTED GOING DOWN THAT PATH, THE PROJECT STARTED GETTING A LOT MORE PROFESSIONAL.
UH, WE HAD, WE HAD FOLKS THAT WERE REALLY THERE WATCHING OUT FOR OUR BEST INTERESTS IN A WAY THAT STAFF IT'S, YOU KNOW, INTERNALLY CAN'T DO SO I'M HAPPY TO START THIS, BUT TO BE CLEAR, THIS, UH, THIS IS THE RFQ.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE, THERE'LL BE A TEAM FORMED.
YOU'LL BRING BACK A RECOMMENDATION FOR WHO THAT MIGHT, WOULD BE, AND THEY WILL HAVE INVOLVEMENT OVER THE ACTUAL, UM, UH, PROCUREMENT OF THE PLANS AS WELL.
AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE CONSTRUCTION PART, RIGHT.
THEY'RE GONNA LEAD US THROUGH THAT.
UH, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR AMBER? A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND TO MOVE BY THE MAYOR IS SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR.
TOBY IS, UH, IS THERE A FURTHER DISCUSSION MAY APPROACH? YEAH.
SO, UM, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS COMING FORWARD.
UH, ONE REASON WHY IS, UH, WHEN SPEAKING WITH OTHER CITIES, UH, I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF FEEDBACK ABOUT TRANSITIONING SLOWLY, THEIR FLEET INTO ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND THE COST SAVINGS IS, IS, IS CRAZY.
I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, SOME OF THE SAVINGS THAT THEY'RE, UM, UH, THE MAIN SAVINGS ARE GETTING AS FOR THE COSTS OR SAVING FROM NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENGINE MAINTENANCE.
AND THEY, WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED IMPLEMENTING THIS ISSUE, THEY HAD THE SAME QUESTIONS US.
THIS IS GOING TO BE, IS THIS GOING TO BE BEST FOR THE CITY? AND I KNOW ROUND ROCK IS DOING IT AND THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT.
SO YOU HAVE, AUSTIN IS DOING IT.
WE JUST TOURED THEIR, UH, SMART STREETS CITY, UM, A MONTH AGO, OVER A MONTH AGO.
AND, UH, I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED BY THE STUFF THEY'RE IMPLEMENTING THERE AS WELL.
SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVING FORWARD.
[02:30:01]
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.THIS IS THE SECOND READING IN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 53, UH, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSIGNING ORIGINAL ZONING TO APPROXIMATELY 1.503 ACRES OF LAND FROM AG TWO CBD ONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1400 WEST CENTER STREET.
UM, UH, I'M NOT SURE WHERE MR. ATKINSON IS THIS THE SECOND READING THOUGH? SOME SIMILAR ZONING.
SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW.
IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
UH, I READ THAT 60 ONES THAT RED TABLE.
UM, DID WE SKIP 28? NO, WE JUST DID 28.
SO WE NEED TO HANG ON BECAUSE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT 27 WHILE I HAD READ AND WE WERE AN AMBER PRESENTED ON 28.
SO TO BE CLEAR, THE VOTE, THE VOTE WE JUST TOOK, UH, 27 WAS, WELL, IT WAS FOR, IT WAS FOR 28.
CAUSE THAT'S WHEN I PULLED UP PULLED FORWARD.
SO WE NEED TO PULL 27 UP AGAIN ARE ACTUALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME.
BUT ARE YOU WELL, HERE, HERE ON THE AGENDA, IT SAYS 27 WAS WHAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH RIGHT NOW.
28 IS CONSIDERING POSSIBLE ACTION OF OUR P FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS FOR HIS BUILDING AT 1 0 4 BURLESON.
THAT'S THE ONE I WAS DISCUSSING.
THAT'S WHY I WAS TALKING ABOUT, SEEM AT RISK AND THE, AND THE, HE ALSO TALKS ABOUT ELECTRIC CARS.
SO WE'RE GONNA, SO, BUT THE BOAT WE TOOK ON WAS 28.
SOUTH IS WHAT IS WHAT WE VOTED ON FOR CM AT RISK.
THAT'S WHAT AMBER PRESENTED ON.
SO DO YOU HAVE, DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK, BRING THAT UP SO YOU CAN CLARIFY YOUR VOTE, EVEN THOUGH YOU TOOK THE VOTE WAS GOOD FOR IT.
SO PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HEARD IT, SO, ALL RIGHT.
SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO BRING 27 BACKUP JUST SOUND RIGHT TO EVERYONE.
UH, UH, UH, CONSIDER POSSIBLE ACTION FOR ON AN RFP, UH, SEEKING, UH, TO HIRE AN EXPERIENCED AND QUALIFIED VENDOR THAT CAN PROVIDE A TURNKEY SOLUTION OF ALL EQUIPMENT, CORRESPONDENCE, SOFTWARE, AND NETWORKING, SENSORIES WARRANTS, UH, ET CETERA.
UH, THIS IS, UH, RELATED TO VEHICLE TRUCK.
CAUSE I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT, WE TALKED ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND CAUSE THIS IS A KATHY RUCKER ITEM.
AND WE WERE PATIENT ALSO 27 I'M MAYOR AMERIPRO TOWN, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CATHY RIKER FOR THE RECORD, JULIE CROOKSTON.
THIS ITEM IS IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW.
UM, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKSTORY WHEN WE WERE, UM, LOOKING AT GETTING 80 CHARGING STATIONS AT THE PD BUILDING, WE JUMPED THROUGH A BUNCH OF HOOPS AND GOT A CONTRACT AND WE'RE PROCEEDING WITH GETTING ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS INSTALLED AT THE PD, BUILDING THE COMPANY, EMAILED US AND SAID, HEY, YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS, AND THIS BEFORE WE CAN EVEN ORDER THE CHARGING STATIONS.
WHEN WE OPENED THE DOCUMENT AND STARTED READING THIS, THIS, THIS, AND THIS, WE REALIZED IT LITERALLY WAS GOING TO TOUCH PRACTICALLY EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY.
SO WE ALL STARTED GOING, WELL, WHO'S GOING TO DO THAT.
AND OOH, AND POINTING FINGERS.
SO WE REALIZED THAT THIS GETTING ED CHARGING STATIONS IN KYLE AT CITY OWNED PROPERTIES, ISN'T GOING TO BE A LOT BIGGER DEAL THAN, UM, IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS TO PUT IT SIMPLE.
SO THAT IS WHY WE ARE PROPOSING, ISSUING THIS RFP FOR A TURNKEY SOLUTION WHERE THEY TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.
UM, AND WE PICK THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR.
SO MAYOR PRO TIM, YOUR COMMENTS, IF YOU WANT TO SAY I'M AGAIN.
NOW I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION.
AND UH, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS CONCEPT OF BRINGING, YOU KNOW, OUR CITY INTO THE NEXT GENERATION OF, YOU KNOW, ELECTRIC VEHICLES INTO OUR FLEET.
IT'S GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS.
UH, THE FAMILIES THAT WE HAVE FROM NON-COMBUSTIBLE ENGINE, UH, MAINTENANCE IS AMAZING.
SPEAKING WITH SOME ELECTED OFFICIALS WERE ROUND ROCK.
THEY STARTED OFF SMALL AND THEY HAVE NOW GROWN THEIR FLEET, UH, IMMENSELY AND ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, UH, THE SAVINGS.
THEY THREW OUT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF SAVINGS A YEAR FOR THEIR CITY, WHICH IS AMAZING.
AND, UH, SOMETHING WE COULD, UH, CONSIDER DOING AN, A FEATURE AS WELL AS WE START TO TRANSITION.
AND, UM, I WOULD REALLY LIKE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE FROM, UH, THE COUNCIL HERE TO REACH OUT TO ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL FROM ROUND ROCK AND GET SOME FEEDBACK.
UH, JUST, UH, MORE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CUSTOMER TOBY'S, WE'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND MOTION BY CASPER TOBY A SECOND BY A MAYOR THAT WE APPROVE.
UH, IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
[02:35:01]
IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTION, I'M GOING TO SKIP 30 AND WE'LL DO 31 32 AND THEN LOOP BACK.READING ORDINANCE, MEANING CHAPTER 53.
THE CITY OF CONTEXT IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SIGNING ORIGINAL ZONING TO APPROXIMATELY 201.4 ACRES LAND FROM ACT TO SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL
UH, THIS IS, UH, JUST THE ZONING AND IT'S JUST THE SECOND READING.
UH, SO, UH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND MOVE BY THE MAYOR.
TOBY, IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
UH, NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM 32, UH, IN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF KYLE, TEXAS AND FIXING 119.703 ACRES OF LAND, MORE OR LESS, UH, LOCATED AT 11, 11, 11 13 ROLAND LANE, UH, APPROXIMATELY 3000 FEET NORTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF I 35 AND ROLAND LANE, UH, ET CETERA.
THIS IS ALSO A SECOND READING.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND MOVE BY THE MAYOR.
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER, MR. MAYOR.
TOBY IS, IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? GO AHEAD.
WILL, UM, W WE'RE REQUESTING IT FOR IT TO BE, UM, THE VOTE TO ACTUALLY BE DELAYED UNTIL THE 17TH.
SO, BUT SO THE ZONING, THE ANNEXATION AND, UM, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE, UM, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO REQUIRE TO DO IT ALL HAPPENS ON THE SAME MEETING.
I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT THAT WAS VERY CLOSE TO A COMPLETE ANNEXATION RIGHT THERE.
UH, WELL, I'D LIKE TO RESCIND THE MOTION AND JUST, UH, POSTPONE THIS ITEM IF THAT'S OKAY.
NEXT UP WILL BE AGENDA ITEM 30.
UH, I HAD, UH, UH, RECUSAL, UH, ON THIS ONE, SO MAY PRETEND.
SECOND READING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 53 OF THE ZONING OF THE CITY OF KYLE TEXAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF MODIFYING SECTION 53 DASH 1230 TO RESTRICT CERTAIN USES AND AMEND THE ZONING USE CHART.
UH, WILL I CONSUME, THIS IS A, THE SECOND READING.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION, UH, JUST ONE ITEM THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN? I EDITED THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE REFLECT WHAT WAS DISCUSSED AND VOTED ON IN THE LAST MEETING, WHICH REMOVED THE, UM, THE BAR AND THE MICROBREWERY ASPECT OF IT, UH, TOO.
AND SO NOW IT ONLY INCLUDES THE GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARY LIMITATIONS FOR THE THREE USES.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION COUNSEL MIRKO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 30, 30.
WE GOT A, UH, GOT A SECOND BY WHO WAS THAT? OH, BRADSHAW.
ALL THOSE OPPOSED MOTION PASSES.
NO, WE'RE GOING TO, THAT'S GOING TO BE POSTPONED TO THE NEXT, NEXT ONE.
