THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS MADE UP OF ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM ENTITIES ALL OVER THAT AREA, AND THEY ARE APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNING BODIES OF EACH ONE OF THOSE ENTITIES.

YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP A NUMBER SEVEN. RECEIVE REPORT. HOLD DISCUSSION, PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION ON ROADWAY CONDITIONS, PRESERVATION AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT PLANNING, MR BARBER. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. LEON BARBER CITY ENGINEER. UH, MAYOR COUNSEL.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A TAG TEAM. UH, HARPER'S GONNA LEAD OFF WITH SLIDE PRESENTATION. IF I CAN GET HIM TO COME IN, UM. WANTS TO MAKE A GRAND ENTRANCE. MAYOR COUNCIL. HARPER WILDER, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. ARE NOT JUST GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ABOUT THE PUBLIC WORKS PERFORMANCE AND THEIR, UH, PAVEMENT ASSESSMENT AND PRESERVATION. UM. RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE USING APPROXIMATELY 730,000 EACH YEAR FOR CHIP SELLING AND MILLING AND OVERLAYING. AND ENGINEERING USES 500,000 YEARLY FOR MICROS SURFACING. DURING 2324. OUTSIDE DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS ABOUT ESTABLISHING APPROPRIATE FUNDING LEVELS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE CITY'S ROADS. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS C IP PROGRAM, LEON WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE CRP PROGRAM HERE SHORTLY. FEBRUARY 7TH OF 2023 COUNCIL APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH KC. I TECHNOLOGIES TO PERFORM OUR, UM TO PERFORM OUR PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX STUDY. SOFTWARE UTILIZED BY KC.

I RATES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PAVEMENT ON A SCALE OF 0 TO 100, WITH ZERO BEING THE WORST AND 100 BEING THE BEST. SORRY. SWITCH. UM DETERMINE THE TYPE OF APPROPRIATE REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON EACH STREET TO PRESERVE OR IMPROVE THE CONDITION OF THE PAVEMENT AND PROVIDE A RECOMMENDED BUDGET FOR SUSTAINING OR IMPROVING THE CURRENT PAYMENT CONDITION LEVEL AND HERE'S SOMETHING TO NOTE, ALTHOUGH ALL STREETS WERE ASSESSED, GO FORTH HEIDENREICH AND THE ROADS INCLUDED IN THE 2022 ROAD BONDS PROJECT WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE BUDGET SCENARIOS. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS. THAT CASE I PRODUCED, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S 249.1 459 LANE MILES TOTAL 249.1 ARE IN GOOD CONDITION IN YOUR DARK GREEN 142.5 SATISFACTORY 38.8 ARE FAIR. UM ON THE NEXT SLIDE, I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THIS. UH, BUT IF YOU NOTICE THERE'S VERY IF YOU LOOK AT THE CITY AS A WHOLE, WE HAVE A GOOD SCORING OVERALL, VERY GOOD SCORING AND THE 80TH PERCENTILE. NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW THAT 459 LANE MILES TOTAL WITHIN THE CITY FULL BUILD OUT THEIR ESTIMATING AROUND 600 MILES IN STREETS. 85.3% WHICH IS 391.6 MILES OF THE CITY STREETS ARE IN SATISFACTORY OR GOOD CONDITION. AVERAGE PAYMENT CONDITION FOR THE STREETS AND KYLE IS 82.5. SO THIS CHART HERE IS TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW WHERE WE WANT THE

[00:30:11]

BUDGET TO BE AND THERE'S A 3.8 MILLION A YEAR WOULD ELIMINATE BACKLOGS. 2.88 MAINTAIN CURRENT CONDITION 1.69 WOULD BE. UH, DEFICIENCIES YOU KNOW, WITH YOUR YOUR STREETS WOULD BE DETERIORATING AND YOU'RE NOT REPAIRING THEM AT A RATE WHERE YOU'RE KEEPING UP. UM THERE'S A MAINTAINED CURRENT FUNDING 1.230 YEAR, DO NOTHING. AND NEXT MONTH. OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR PAYMENT CONDITIONS INDEX BY BUDGET IS TO IMPROVE THE STREET CONDITIONS TO 85.3 PC I AND ELIMINATE THE BACKLOG 3.8 MILLION A YEAR. UM NUMBER TWO, MAINTAIN 2023 82.5 JUST 2.88 MILLION A YEAR. AND THEN YOU'D HAVE A BACKLOG. UH, THREE. ALLOW STREETS OF MO MODERATELY DETERIORATE TO 75.1 PC. I REMEMBER OUR PC. I RIGHT NOW WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE 83 IS A GOOD ONE. IS A IS A VERY GOOD RATING ALLOW FURTHER DETERIORATION OF STREETS TO 73.7 BACKLOG WITH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE. UM COMPLETE DETERIORATION OF STREETS TO 65.5 . YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING HERE. UM. RECOMMENDATIONS INCREASE THE PAYMENT PRESERVATION BUDGET TO 2.88 IN THE FY 2425 BUDGET YEAR. AND BE 1.88, MIL FOR PRESERVATION AND RECONSTRUCTION AND ONE MILL FOR MICRO SURFACING, SO WE'RE INCREASING OUR PUBLIC WORKS, UH, ROAD CONSTRUCTION, AS WELL AS INCREASING THE MICROS SURFACING THAT LEON AND, UH, ENGINEERING WOULD BE WOULD BE HANDLING BASED ON INVOLVEMENT, PAVEMENT CONDITIONS, ADDITIONAL FUNDING MAY BE NEEDED OVER TIME FOR PAVEMENT PRESERVATION RECONSTRUCTION, MAINTAINS 82.5 PC. I CONSIDERED AN EXCELLENCE LEVEL OF SERVICE. FUN AND PRIORITIZE THE CITY'S ROADS. C IP PROGRAM TO IMPROVE MOBILITY STAFF IS IDENTIFIED STREETS THAT NEED TO BE FULLY RECONSTRUCTED, EXPANDED OR NEWLY CONSTRUCTED PRIMARILY BASED ON THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN. MR BARBER. THANK YOU, HARPER. ABOUT 23 WEEKS AGO. UH, S MANAGE. YOUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ASKED ME TO THINK BIG. THINK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF ROADS THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE THE CITY IMPROVE OR RECONSTRUCT OR ADD TO OUR SYSTEM ? UM IF MONEY WASN'T A BIG ISSUE, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE? WHAT WOULD WHAT WOULD YOU DO? SO PUBLIC WORKS IN THE ART ENGINEER STAFF GOT TOGETHER AND WE CREATED A LIST WE PICKED ABOUT 1617 ROADS, LOCATIONS. WE DIDN'T , UH, TRY TO PRIORITIZE IT, BUT, UH, WE DID HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AT THE END.

HERE'S OUR LIST. AGAIN THIS IS NOT IN ANY PRIORITY. UM WE DID PICK SOME OF THE MAJOR AND WE USED THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN TO PICK THESE ROADS. AND UH, WE JUST KIND OF FOLLOWED THAT ALONG. AND DIDN'T, UH, DECIDED WHICH ROADS? WE THOUGHT, UH, NEEDED SOME IMPROVEMENTS.

GIVE YOU A GOOD EXAMPLE OF ROAD THAT, UH, WE RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED LAYMAN ROAD. IT'S TWO LANES AND, UH, PRO PORTION OF IT. WE REALLY NEED 3 TO 4 LANES THERE, SO THAT'S YOU'LL SEE THAT'S ON THERE TO YOU. IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY IT'S ON THERE, WE STILL NEED NEED TO ADD SOME MORE LANES IN THERE. WE HAD SOME INTERSECTIONS THAT WE WANTED TO LOOK AT. POSSIBLY IMPROVING. UH, THE TRAFFIC FLOWS THAT WE HAVE THERE. AND UH, SO IT'S A LIST THAT WE MADE AND WE CREATED. WE ALSO, UH, TOOK SOME ESTIMATES MADE SOME ESTIMATES ON THESE ROADS. STRICTLY THEY'RE THEY'RE JUST ESTIMATES THAT WE PUT TOGETHER USING SOME CURRENT PRICES. BUT AS YOU KNOW, AS TIME GOES ON THOSE NUMBERS CHANGE ON US. AND HERE'S A BREAKDOWN OF THE ROADS THAT WE IDENTIFIED AND THE LOCATIONS THAT WE IDENTIFIED. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE EVEN ADDED SOME STATE ROADS IN HERE, FOR EXAMPLE, LEFT IN 150 FROM LEHMAN TO HIGHWAY 21. UH, WE ASSUME THEY WOULD BE USING FULL CARBON GUTTER IN THAT PARTICULAR ROAD. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF RIGHT OF WAY THERE SO TO TRY TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT TO THE, UH UH RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS, WE ASSUMED THAT THEY WOULD BE GOING TO FIVE LANE ROADWAY WITH CURB AND GUTTER SIDEWALKS, STREET LIGHTS, THE WHOLE UH, EVERYTHING THAT YOU WOULD WANT FOR A GOOD STREET. AND UH, THOSE NUMBERS THAT WE CREATED AGAIN. IF YOU'LL NOTICE THAT DISCLAIMER AT THE BOTTOM. WE JUST MADE SOME REALLY QUICK ESTIMATES BASED ON THE SOME OF THE NUMBERS THAT WE'VE SEEN AT, UH LATELY. AS FAR AS RECOMMENDATIONS. IF YOU ASK ME TODAY, WHAT WOULD BE THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES FOR ME? THIS IS WHAT I WOULD SAY. I WOULD SAY COS RAILROAD OVERPASS. FM 150 WEST AND EAST FM 150. AND THAT'S BASED ON TRAFFIC COUNTS AND THE REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY COUNCIL. THAT DECISION IS YOURS, OF COURSE, TO MAKE ON WHAT YOU THINK IS A HIGHER PRIORITY. UH, OF COURSE, WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THESE ROADS AND PROJECTS AND THEN, UH, POSSIBLY CONSIDER THEM IN THE NEXT, UH, BUDGET YEAR THAT'S COMING UP. UH AND LOOK AT OTHER FUNDING AGENCY AGENCIES WHERE WE CAN GET SOME MONEY EITHER FROM CAMPO GRANTS OR WHEREVER WE CAN FIND THE MONEY TO WORK ON THESE ROADS.

QUESTIONS. WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ANY FEEDBACK FROM US SPECIFICALLY ANY TYPE OF ACTION.

[00:35:08]

ON THIS RIGHT NOW, OR IS THIS JUST FOR OUR INFORMATION? JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION. WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE BRINGING THESE TO YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BUDGET SESSION COMING UP. AND THESE ARE SOME ROSES TO THINK ABOUT IN LOCATIONS THAT YOU MAY WANT TO FOCUS ON CUTS FOR TOBIAS. NO.

SORRY REAL QUICK. OK, UM WHEN WE WHEN YOU HAVE THE LIST THERE, I GUESS MY QUESTION MY THINGS WOULD BE WHAT CAN WE DO TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROAD AND STREET LIKE WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED? RECONSTRUCTION VERSUS MICROSOFT. AND WHERE IS THERE A LIST? THAT THE CITY HAS ALREADY THAT SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE ROADS RIGHT HERE THAT NEED THE TOTAL RECONSTRUCTION MEANING LIKE TOTALLY GUTTED AND REDONE VERSUS STREETS THAT CAN BE MICRO SURFACE THIS SUMMER TO WHERE WE CAN GET SOME OF THOSE POTHOLES FILLED OR LANES REDONE WITH WITH NEW STRIPING AND SO FORTH. IS THERE SOMETHING WHERE WE CAN HAVE THAT A LIST THERE IN THE COST ON EACH ONE, AND THEN WHICH ONE OF THOSE WOULD BE A PRIORITY? BECAUSE I THINK NOW WE HAVE 17 I WE HAVE 18. NOW WE JUST IDENTIFIED A ROAD OR A STREET THAT, UH, THAT'S BEEN KIND OF A GRAVEL ROAD THAT WE ANNEX LIKE M MOONS AGO. SO IT'S JUST HAVING THOSE DIFFERENT OF WHICH ROADS THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR LIST THAT WOULD NEED THE TOTAL RECONSTRUCTION AND ONES THAT WE CAN REALLY HIT WITH YOUR WITH YOUR CREW. HARPER THAT WE CAN KNOCK OUT REALLY? FOR THIS BUDGET SEASON. COUNCIL. NEVER DO JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THE KC. I PREPARED A FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR US AND WE AND WE'RE WORKING ON YOUR 2024 FOR THIS YEAR FOR THIS MICROSERVICE. OUR BUDGET IS 500,000. SO WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT DOWN TO THE $500,000 THAT WE HAVE FROM COUNCIL. THE UH THERE IS A FIVE YEAR LIST AND WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT EACH AND EVERY ROAD THEY RECOMMENDED AND SEE WHICH ONES WE DO WANT TO CONTINUE FORWARD WITH DOING THE MICROS SURFACING. MICROS SURFACING IS A IS A KIND OF LIKE A PAINT ON YOUR HOUSE. UH OR CHANGING THE OIL IN YOUR CAR.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THE OIL IN YOUR CAR IF YOU DON'T WANT TO, BUT WE'RE GONNA CHANGE YOU ALL BECAUSE IT'S JUST PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. MICROS SURFACING IS FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND IT WILL NEVER BE USED FOR RECONSTRUCTION BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR YOU REALLY NEED TO TAKE THE WHOLE ROAD DOWN AND REDO IT. SO WE DO HAVE THOSE LISTS PREPARED, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE WE'LL BE LOOKING AT AS WE PLAN OUR ROAD. PRESERVATION AND OUR FUTURE C IP. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION THAT THAT DOES. IT'S JUST SO THAT WAY WE HAVE AN IDENTIFICATION OF WHICH WE DO HAVE A GOOD IDEA WHAT ACTUALLY FITS IN THIS SECTION VERSUS THE OTHER ONES. AND THEN WE HAVE THE DOLLAR AMOUNT AND THEN WE CAN DECIDE AS A COUNCIL FROM THERE.

LIKE WHICH AVENUE WE'RE GONNA GO WITH ON THAT END, AND JUST A REAL QUICK SUBJECT ON THAT WITH MR RIOS QUESTION IF WE COULD LOOK INTO THE STREET LIGHTS AT TAY BB ON THE WE WILL DO THAT.

THANK YOU. OR MAY PUT TIM YEAH, LEON. SO FOR ME, CALLERS IS PROBABLY TOP PRIORITY BECAUSE OF THE CONNECTIVITY AND WHAT IT'LL DO FOR OUR RESIDENTS BEING ABLE TO GET OVER THE TRAIN GETTING THAT RAIL SIDING MOVED, BUT, UH, FOR DISTRICT TWO. I JUST FEEL THAT THEY WERE KIND OF FORGOTTEN DURING THE BOND, SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE US DO SOMETHING ON OPAL LANE AND THEN ON LEHMAN AS WELL, SO I JUST KIND OF FEEL LIKE DISTRICT TWO WAS A LITTLE BIT FORGOTTEN DURING THE BOND, SO I LOVE TO SEE SOME OF THOSE ROADS TOP PRIORITY. I DID INCLUDE OPAL LANE, AND I'M LOOKING AT IT. I'D LIKE TO MOVE IT UP ON THE LIST AS A TOP PRIORITY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL RESUMING YES. THANK YOU, LEON I. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS PRESENTATION, ACTUALLY, SO THERE'S TWO PARTS TO IT. THE MACRO SURFACING WHICH KEEPS US WITHOUT THE BACKLOG IF WE INCREASE THE BUDGET RIGHT? UH, ARE THESE ROADS PART OF THAT MICROS SURFACING? NO. THESE ROADS WERE NOT QUALIFY FOR MICRO SURFACING. THEY'RE JUST SO FAR GONE. SO THIS THIS IS A WISH LIST OF THE 17 IN THE WORST CONDITION, WHICH I CAN SEE. THEY ARE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. I THINK THEY'RE THEY'RE ALL REALLY GOOD SELECTIONS. UM, BUT IT I THINK THE LAYMAN ROAD AS BECAUSE IT DOES LEAD TO A SCHOOL. ON YOU KNOW WHICH WHICH WAS FORGOTTEN IN THE BOND. I THINK THAT, LIKE RIZZO SAID, BUMP THAT ONE UP.

OPAL, OF COURSE, THE THIRD THE CONNECTIVITY OF COLORS. AS AS WELL, BUT YOU ARE ASKING US TO CONSIDER INCREASING. THE BUDGET FOR THE TO AVOID THE BACKLOG. ISN'T THAT WHAT THAT IS? CORRECT YES, THE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. WE STILL NEED TO DO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. WE STILL HAVE ROADS OUT THERE. YOU. YOU COULD AS, UH , JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME, UH, WORDS OF WISDOM. IF I CAN, UH, THE ROADS WILL NOT LAST FOREVER. IF I DO SOME KIND TO PREVENT A MAINS AGAIN. IT'S LIKE THE PAIN AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, IS PAINTING YOUR HOUSE. YOU HAVE TO DO THAT, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT EVERY SO OFTEN AND CHANGE THE OIL IN YOUR VEHICLE, SO THESE SURFACE TREATMENTS THAT WE DO DO NOT LAST FOREVER. SO WE HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY PROVIDE THAT MAINS. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS THAT WE USE EITHER SILK COATS OR OR MICROS SURFACING. THERE ARE OTHER MAINTENANCE MEASURES THAT YOU CAN USE. WE'RE NOT REALLY CRAZY ABOUT SOME OF THOSE OTHER MEASURES, BUT THESE HAVE BEEN THE BEST THAT WE'VE FOUND SO FAR THAT WE CAN DO SO WE WANNA KEEP THE GOOD ROADS IN

[00:40:02]

GOOD CONDITION BY DOING SOME PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. RIGHT SO I GUESS WHAT I WOULD BE CONCERNED WITH IS IF WE DON'T FIX THESE 17 HIGHEST PRIORITY ROADS THAT THE NEWER ROADS THAT WE'RE BUILDING WELL, EVENTUALLY AGE WITH ALL THE TRAFFIC ON THEM. AND THEN WE COULD END UP IN THAT SITUATION WHERE ALL OF OUR ROADS ARE DETERIORATED OR IN A BAD CONDITION. UM, DO WE HAVE ENOUGH. I GUESS. CAN WE. CAN WE BALANCE THIS MORE ROADS THAT WE'RE GETTING SO THAT THEY DON'T ALL AGE AT THE SAME TIME, AND THEN WE'RE WE'RE LIKE IN THESE DEFICITS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO REPAIR THE ROADS. I MEAN, IS THIS. WOULD THIS BE A SITUATION WHERE UM. NEWER ROADS WOULD AGE AND IF WE DON'T FIX THE OLD ONES, WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE IN TROUBLE. I DON'T KNOW. IN THE REPORT, YOU'LL SEE SOME GRASS AND IT IT IT TYPICALLY ROAD STARTS AT IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION. THE EIGHTIES NINETIES SCORE AND AS TIME GOES ON, IF YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING TO IT, IT GOES DOWN. AND JUST JUST LIKE, UH, YOUR VEHICLE. IT'LL GO DOWN IF YOU DON'T DO THE MAINTENANCE ON IT, AND THEN WITH THE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE YOU THE RAISES A SCORE BACK AGAIN. SO THEN YOU START YOUR CURVE AGAIN. IT DOES GO. ASPHALT DOESN'T LAST FOREVER. YOU HAVE TO TREAT IT AND PROVIDE SOME FAMINE. SAME AS CONCRETE ROADS, WHICH WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF. BUT YOU EVEN HAVE TO WORK ON A CONCRETE ROADS STILL MAY NEED MAINTENANCE ALSO. SO YOU HAD OPTION NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS DO NOTHING. DON'T JUST LET IT DETERIORATE. IT'S NOT GOOD, AND I KNOW SO WE TOOK THAT OPTION AND THEN WE HAVE MORE MORE ROADS TO MAINTAIN. THEN YOU SEE WHERE I'M GETTING. WE WELL, MAYOR AND COUNCILOR. THE REASON FOR THE PRESENTATION OR NOT, IS TO ONE LET YOU KNOW THAT PAVEMENT CONDITION ANALYSIS HAS BEEN DONE, I THINK, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT WAS PRETTY GOOD ON THE PAVEMENT. I THINK YOU SEE THAT OVERALL SCORE THAT HARPER WAS MENTIONING IS A FAIRLY GOOD SCORE, BUT IT IS IT IS GOING TO NEED A BUDGET INCREASE TO KEEP THE ROADS MAINTAINED. SO IN MY RECOMMENDED BUDGET THAT I BRING TO YOU IN JULY, WE'LL HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO KEEP THE UH UH, ROADS, THE CONDITION THAT WE BELIEVE IS APPROPRIATE. BUT THERE'S ALSO THESE ROADS THAT NEED TO BE EXPANDED THAT YOU SEE IN THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN JUST A CONDITION. IT'S ALSO THAT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY THAT THEY NEED FOR SOME OF THE TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING THROUGH THERE. SO IT'S REALLY BOTH OF THOSE THINGS. UH, WE BELIEVE THAT WITH THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS THE $2.8 MILLION PER YEAR FOR ROADS THAT THAT'S THE RIGHT LEVEL OF FUNDING TO KEEP THE ROADS AT A GOOD CONDITION AND NOT ALLOW THEM TO DETERIORATE, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING TO YOU AS PART OF THE BUDGET. THE OTHER COMPONENTS WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE CAPITAL PROGRAM. SOME OF THAT STARTS WITH THE DESIGN, THEN THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION, THE UTILITY RELOCATIONS AND THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION IS A LITTLE BIT FARTHER OUT, SO WE CAN BRING YOU SOME OPTIONS TO TRY TO FUND THOSE HIGHEST PRIORITY ROADS.

BUT I DID WANT TO SHOW YOU AT LEAST THE MAGNITUDE OF THE NUMBER THAT'S OUT THERE.

INFRASTRUCTURE IS A VERY EXPENSIVE BUSINESS TO BE IN AND YOU'VE GOT $500 MILLION OF POTENTIAL ROADWAYS, SO WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE SOME CHOICES OF WHEN WE WANT TO DO THAT. SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE PRESENTATION, AND IT IS REALLY JUST KIND OF A PRIMARY AS WE START GETTING INTO THAT BUDGET. DISCUSSION THERE'S GOING TO BE SEVERAL COMPETING, UH, NEEDS THAT YOU SEE AND VARIOUS DIFFERENT AREAS, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE BELIEVE WE REALLY NEED TO MOVE FORWARD AND FIND GETS HAUSER. YEAH, UH, IS NOT NUMBER 15 1 50 WEST IS THAT WOULD THAT IT ALL SERVE AS A BYPASS FOR CENTER STREET? YES, I WOULD. OK THAT IS THE MY BEST PROJECT. OK I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE AND HAVE WE ENGAGED IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COUNTY RECENTLY IN REGARD TO UH, WHAT WERE TO HAPPEN IF THAT WERE TO BE ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES OF THIS C I PROGRAM WELL. THERE. THERE ARE TWO. THERE'S TWO PROJECTS. UH, ONE CROSSES OVER ON, UH, YARRINGTON, AND THAT'S THE, UH, 150. I DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE LOCATION FOR THIS ONE. I THINK IT IS A DIFFERENT ONE. THIS IS THE ONE THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE BOND PROGRAM. SO THERE'S TWO PROJECTS. THIS IS THE 150 BYPASS. SO THERE'S ANOTHER ALIGNMENT THAT WOULD LINE UP AT YARRINGTON. AND THIS IS ANOTHER CROSSING OVER. I 35 WHICH WASN'T FUNDED. UM IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK FOR SOME REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS AND MAYBE SOME OTHER FUNDING TO HELP. IS ACHIEVED THAT IN ALL OF THESE, FRANKLY IF THERE'S ANY OTHER FUNDING THAT WE CAN HAVE, BUT RIGHT NOW, UH WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A FUNDING SOURCE FOR IT.

WELL OK, THANK YOU. I MEAN, FOR WHAT IS WORTH, UH, IN THIS EXERCISE, I. I SEE THAT 150 BYPASS BEING MISSION CRITICAL FOR US AND THE FUTURE OF OUR DOWNTOWN. OK? THAT'S WHERE PARSLEY. THANK YOU. SO I'M GOING BACK TO THE MAP THAT SHOWS THE PC I SCORE. AND I AM IF I'M LOOKING AT THIS CORRECTLY. IT SHOWS GO FORTH AND BB AND WHEN THEY HEAL AS THE SERIOUS VERY POOR. UM WILL THAT BE OUR PRIORITY IF WE WERE TO SAY LET'S GO AHEAD AND USE. KIND OF LIKE

[00:45:10]

OPTION ONE IMPROVE STREET CONDITION TO 85.3 BC I PLUS ELIMINATE THE BACKLOG. UM, HOW EXACTLY ARE WE PLANNING ON DOING . PRIORITY FOR THIS ROADS IF WE WERE TO START BUDGETING OR DOING A FIVE YEAR ADDITIONAL C IP FOR THIS. HOW HOW WOULD THAT WORK? IF MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT WENDY HILL AND BB ROAD, THOSE ARE ON THE BOND ELECTION, SO THOSE WILL BE RECONSTRUCTED. OK, I WAS LOOKING AT THEM RIGHT HERE. SO THAT SECTION WILL BE FOR THE ROAD BOND. SO THE ONES THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW THE 17 ROWS THAT YOU HAVE LISTED. IS THERE ANY WAY FOR US TO KNOW THAT HOW CRITICAL THEY ARE? FROM THE 17 THAT YOU HAVE LISTED ON THE PRESENTATION.

HOW DO I KNOW FROM BETTER TO WORSE WHICH ONE NEEDS WHAT HAS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY WE LOOKED AT IT STRICTLY FROM TRAFFIC COUNTS AND CONNECT CONNECTIVITY. WE DID NOT LOOK AT IT, WHICH IS THE WORST ROAD THERE IS BECAUSE WITHIN THERE THAT LIST WE HAVE SOME NEW ROADS IN THERE, TOO, THAT WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, SEE IF WE CAN GET DONE TOO. I'M GONNA TRY TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION IF I CAN, UM SO THE RED ONES, THE ONES THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED ARE THE ONES THAT ARE IN NEED OF RECONSTRUCTION. IF YOU LOOK AT MANY OF THOSE, AS LEON WAS SAYING, UH, SOME OF THOSE WERE COVERED IN THE FINE, SO STAGECOACH CENTER STREET BB WINDY HILL. THOSE ARE ALL COVERED AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE GO GO FORTH AND HEIDENREICH, WHICH ARE TWO THAT ARE BEING RECON RECONSTRUCTED THIS YEAR OUT OF OUR OWN FINE. SO YOU'VE GOT MANY OF THOSE RED ROADS THAT, UM, THAT ARE NEEDING RECONSTRUCTION THAT ARE ALREADY FUNDED OR UNDER WAY TO BE COMPLETED. A LOT OF THE ROADS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED BY LEON AND HIS TEAM OR CAPACITY, THEY NEED ADDITIONAL, YOU KNOW, LANES THEY NEED MORE RIGHT OF WAY. THAT KIND OF THING. SO A LOT OF THE ONES THAT ARE THAT ARE IN NEED OF BEING REPLACED OR UNDERWAY OR PLANNED TO BE UNDERWAY. SO THE 17 THAT WE HAVE LISTED HERE ARE THEY ALREADY UM LISTED IN PRIORITY. DEPENDING ON THE TRAFFIC, THE NUM LIKE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC OR HOW OFTEN PEOPLE WILL DRIVE BY THEM. HOW ARE WE SETTING THAT UP? THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. COUNCIL MEMBER THEY'RE NOT LISTED IN PRIORITY. THIS WE WERE JUST ASKED TO THINK OF WHAT WOULD HELP. UH UH, WITH OUR CONNECTIVITY. WHAT ROADS DO WE THINK NEED TO BE UPGRADED OR RE OR ADDED IN AND THAT'S HOW WE LOOKED AT IT. WE DIDN'T REALLY TAKE TRAFFIC COUNTS ON EACH ROAD, BUT JUST BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE, FOR EXAMPLE, 150 EAST THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A I REASON WE NEED THAT ROAD TO FIVE LANES, AT LEAST NOW. AND THEN THE 150 WEST THAT I TALKED ABOUT THAT'S GONNA GIVE US ANOTHER CROSSING OVER. I 35 AND EVENTUALLY BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE WHAT THREE CROSSINGS RIGHT NOW, SO THAT WOULD GIVE US ANOTHER CROSSING AT AT I 35 NO, NO, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THIS NUMBER. FIGURING LIKE HOW WHAT ARE WE GOING TO PULL MONEY FROM? THAT'S A TOUGH DECISION. I THINK I CAN REALLY INTERVENE AS FAR AS WHEN IT FINALLY COMES TO US ABOUT WHICH ROADS ARE THERE. I SUGGEST ALL OF US. GET IN HER CAR AND GO DRIVE THEM. GO DOWN, GO FORTH. IT'S LIKE DRIVING ON A ROLLER COASTER. HAVE YOU SEEN HAVE YOU DRIVEN ON THAT LATELY? HAS ANY OF Y'ALL DRIVEN OUT THERE? OK HAVE YOU SEEN LIKE WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE ON THE ROAD AND YOU'RE ABOUT READY TO FALL OFF? YOU'RE ABOUT READY TO HIT A DITCH. AND YOU'RE GOING AND YOU'RE GOING UP AND DOWN AND YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND CURVE. I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD, REALISTIC WAY TO IDENTIFY WHICH ROADS THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY OURSELVES, WHICH WOULD BE A PRIORITY IS TO BE UPFRONT, DRIVING THEM OURSELVES AND SEEING WHAT THEY WOULD BE LIKE. I GET A BULL LANE TOO. IT'S THE SAME SITUATION. OK THESE ARE ALL FARM ROADS. REMEMBER THESE WERE ALL FARM ROADS BACK IN THE DAY. BUT IT'S AT THE POINT NOW WHERE WE HAVE, UH, AT LEAST ABOUT 20,000 PEOPLE IN THAT AREA THAT ARE USING UTILIZING THESE ROADS EVERY DAY. AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CAN. WE CAN LOOK AT THE SCORING IN THE ENGINEERING AND THE FOR A SERIOUS AND SO FORTH, BUT I THINK WHEN IT FINALLY COMES TO US TO DECIDING, WHICH IS A PRIORITY, I THINK IT'S JUST US BEING REALISTIC. AND BEING REAL ABOUT IT AND DRIVING THESE ROADS OURSELVES IN THE MORNING AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING AND THEN WE CAN PRETTY MUCH DECIDE OURSELVES WHERE WE'RE GONNA PRIORITIZE. UH, WHAT WE WHAT WE WANT TARP AND EVERYBODY ELSE TO WORK ON. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT BOTTOM LINE. PART OF MY QUESTION WAS BECAUSE I YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO GO AND DRIVE THE ROADS TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT LOVE IN SOME OF THOSE ROADS THAT MAY NOT HAVE A LOT OF CONNECTIVITY, BUT THEY ARE USE OF I HAVE STUDENTS THAT LIVE AROUND WINDY HILL AROUND OPEN LANE AND COMPLAINED TO ME. THEY'RE IN CLASS. SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE PRIORITY LOOK LIKE. AND HOW ARE WE SCORING THAT? WE CAN USE TRAFFIC COUNTS.

WE CAN USE. UH HOW IT CONNECTS TO THE REST OF THE SYSTEM, SO THERE'S WAYS TO TRY TO IDENTIFY

[00:50:05]

WHICH WOULD HAVE A BETTER HIGHER PRIORITY AND BUT WE DIDN'T TRY TO DO THAT ON THIS PARTICULAR STUDY, THOUGH. MAYOR PUT YEAH, SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IS MAKING SURE WE EXCLUDE STUFF THAT'S ALREADY ON THE BOND. BECAUSE THEN WE WERE SHORTENING THIS CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW, SO JUST JUST ADDING WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. AS FAR AS ROAD PROJECTS FOR OUR C IP WOULD BE MORE HELPFUL THAN AND EXCLUDE WHAT OF THE BOND LANGUAGE THAT WE, WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE TARGETING. MAYOR PUT TIM I DID NOT ANY AT ANY OF THE BOND. UH, PROGRAMS ON THAT 17 TO 17. I'M LOOKING AT THE RESULTS OF PAGE FOUR, WHERE COUNCIL MEMBER PARSLEY THOUGHT THAT WAS PART OF IT. JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE IDENTIFY CLEARLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND TARGETING, BUT I APPRECIATE LEON. THANK YOU, SIR. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION AT WHAT POINT IN THE FUTURE? WILL YOU COME BACK TO US WITH A PRIORITIZED LIST? FOR US TO CONSIDER. HOW FAR INTO THE FUTURE. ARE WE LOOKING HERE? BUT THEN? WELL WELL, WE'RE NOT ROAD EXPERTS. WE CAN DRIVE THEM, BUT WELL. IF I IF I IF I MAY THERE, THERE'S TWO ISSUES RIGHT? THERE'S THE CONDITION OF CURRENT ROADWAYS. WE HAVE DRIVEN EVERY ROADWAY IN AND OBTAIN AN OBJECTIVE SCORE ON THE CONDITION OF THAT. THAT'S WHAT THE PC STUDY IS. SO WE KNOW THE BAD ROADWAYS GO FORTH AS BEING RECONSTRUCTED THIS YEAR. UH, SO THAT'S ALREADY BEEN FUNDED IN THIS CURRENT BUDGET. A LOT OF THE OTHER ROADS MAYOR, AS YOU MENTIONED ARE ARE FUNDED WITH THE ROAD BOND PACKAGE, SO I BELIEVE THE EXISTING ROAD NETWORK HAS A PRETTY GOOD, UH, PACKAGE PUT FOR FROM A FUNDING STANDPOINT TO MAKE SURE THE QUALITY OF THE ROADWAY IS THERE AND BE MAINTAINED, AND THAT'S THAT'S THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION IS TO GET THAT FUNDING UP JUST A LITTLE BIT SO THAT THOSE EXISTING ROADS ARE MAINTAINED. WHAT LEON'S MENTIONING IS A COMPLETELY SEPARATE QUESTION IS NEW ROADS THAT NEED TO BE BUILT? WHITE ROADS THAT NEED TO BE WIDENED OTHER INTERSECTIONS THAT NEED TO BE DONE THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENT CONDITION. SO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT BUCKETS. AND FOR THESE, THERE'S SOME MAJOR CORRIDORS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT, AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT ALL TYPES OF OPTIONS GRANT FUNDING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND KNOW WHEN JESSE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE GONNA BE DOING FROM THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PERSPECTIVE. TRYING TO PURSUE THOSE THROUGH GRANT FUNDING, LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN BOND FINANCE THAT OUT OR CASH FUND IT . SO THOSE ARE ALL THE WAYS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT AND THEN WE BRINGING THAT BACK TO YOU IN THE BUDGET PROCESS. WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THEM ALL. BUT WE'LL TRY TO PICK WHAT WE BELIEVE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES. AND THEN FROM YOUR DISCUSSION. THE THINGS THAT YOU FELT LIKE WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT PROJECT TO PURSUE. UM OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S SOME PROJECTS THAT ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. LIKE THE FM 150, THAT'S 100 AND $25 MILLION VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THAT PROJECT WITHOUT SOME PARTNERSHIPS, BUT THERE'S OTHERS THAT WE CAN START MAKING PROGRESS ON RIGHT AWAY. IF WE WERE TO ADD A ROAD OR A STREET THAT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WOULD WOULD WOULD. WHEN WOULD THAT BE? WHEN CAN I MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION? UM IF CERTAINLY NOW, IF YOU HAVE ONE THAT YOU WANT US TO CONSIDER, WE COULD DO THAT, UM, AS WE BRING IT TO FLOWER CIRCLE BY VISTA PARK. THAT THAT LITTLE ROAD BACK IN THE BACK. WE LOOK AT LOOKING AT THAT AS FAR AS, UH BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S A GRAVEL ROAD AND IT'S A STREET ROAD. I THINK PART OF THAT ROAD IS MAINTAINED BY THE CITY AND THE PORTION IS NOT MAINTAINED BY THE CITY SO WE'D HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE DO WE STOP ON THAT ONE, OK? YOU. WELL, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE OTHER POINT THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE I'M TRYING TO CATCH UP AS BEST AS WE CAN, BUT, UH, WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL RANGER DRIVE IS IN FRONT OF THAT ROAD. AND THEN YOU HAVE GREG DRIVE COUNCIL APPROVED , UH, $300,000 FOR SOME INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS THAT GREG DRIVE AT VETERANS. THEY CONSULT TO MAKE THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS, BUT TO ALSO LOOK AT, UH, DOING SOME ADDITIONAL WORK TO RE RE ESTABLISH THOSE STREETS TO WHERE THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT BITTER RIDING. IF YOU LOOK ON THE MAP, IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE GREG DRIVE IS, I DON'T I THINK I CAN POINT TO IT. MAYBE. UM IT'S NOT. ANYWAY I'LL TRY LATER. UH ANYWAY, GREG DRIVE IS AT THE LITTLE STREET TO THE MAKES LIKE AN L SHAPED UP THERE. THAT'S GREG DRIVE, AND, UH, RANGER. AND I'M GONNA GET OUR CONSULTANT TO LOOK AT WHAT IT'S GONNA TAKE TO GET THOSE STREETS IN GOOD CONDITION AGAIN, SO EVERY TIME I CAN GET A CHANCE TO DO THAT, THAT'S WHAT I DO WITH OUR CONSULTANTS. LEON ON THE $500,000 MICRO SURFACING ANNUAL BUDGET. I KNOW THAT'S BEEN THE VALUE THAT WE'VE PLACED ON THAT FOR A GOOD LONG WHILE NOW, IS THERE UH, BENEFIT IF WE WERE TO INCREASE THAT, AS OUR NETWORK IS GROWING AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE GROWING TO MAYBE ADD A COUPLE EXTRA ROADS EVERY YEAR INTO THE CYCLE, WHICH WOULD LOWER THE OVERALL AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE'RE TAKING TO CYCLE THROUGH THESE ROADS AND MAYBE HELP THEM LAST LONGER. SURE WOULDN'T HELP THE MAYOR, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, THERE'S SOME ROADS THAT ARE NOT GOING TO BE ON OUR LIST THIS YEAR THAT I'VE SEEN THAT THEY ALREADY STARTING TO CRACK OPEN AND WE CAN DO SOME CRACK CEILING, BUT I REALLY LIKE TO DO A FULL MICROS SURFACE ON THE WHOLE THING TO WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE A REALLY GOOD STREET

[00:55:03]

SO I COULD IDENTIFY A BUNCH OF OTHER STREETS IN THE IN ONE OTHER IDEA. COUNCIL MEMBER MAYOR PRO TEM I THINK YOU BROUGHT THIS UP TO ME ONE TIME OF MAYBE FOCUSING ON THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF GETTING SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND DOING THE WHOLE AREA RIGHT NOW, BUT WE SINCE WE ONLY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY, WHAT WE DO IS WE, UH TRY TO SPREAD IT OUT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY, SO WE MAY DO ONE ROAD DOWN THE SUBDIVISION AND SOMEBODY'S WONDERING. WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU DO MY ROAD? IT'S RIGHT RIGHT NEXT TO IT. SO WHAT I POSSIBLY LIKE TO DO IS FOCUS ON MAYBE DOING A, UH, SUBDIVISION AT ONE TIME AND DOING IT ALL AT ONE TIME. NOW THE NAME THE RESIDENTS. MIGHT THAT BE CRAZY ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT'S REALLY A GOOD WAY TO GET THE WHOLE NETWORK AND ADD A LITTLE SUBDIVISION AND TAKE CARE OF THOSE ROADS AT ONE TIME, AND THEY MOVE TO THE NEXT ONE TO THE NEXT YEAR, THE NEXT ONE THE NEXT YEAR, SO THAT'S SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO TRY TO PLAN TO DO IF WE DO GET THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

WELL IF WE'RE JUST DOING ONE SUBDIVISION PER YEAR WE HAVE WE CAN DO MORE THAN THAT. WE HAVE DOZENS OF SUBDIVISIONS, SO THAT MEANS THAT WE WOULDN'T GET THROUGH THEM ALL FOR DOZENS OF YEARS. SO MAYOR WE'RE RECOMMENDING TO, UH, INCREASE THE MICROS SURFACING FROM 500,000 TO 1 MILLION. THAT'S WHAT'S IN THIS PROPOSAL. YES, YES, THAT'S THAT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU. YES, SIR. GREAT. WELL, I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT DECISION.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. NO, I JUST WANT TO SAY REAL QUICK. UH, YOU'RE YOU'RE DEFINITELY CORRECTLY ON. I KNOW IT MADE AN IMPACT IN THE THREE OF THE OLDER SUBDIVISIONS THAT WERE HERE IN KYLE, THE THAT Y'ALL HAVE DONE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. UH, THE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN REALLY HAPPY. THEY'RE A LITTLE, UH, YOU KNOW, NOT REAL HAPPY ABOUT THE WORK GOING ON. BUT ONCE THE WORK WAS DONE WENT BACK, GOT GREAT POSITIVE FEEDBACK. EVERYBODY'S REALLY DELIGHTED. I MEAN, EVERYBODY HATES YOU KNOW A TRAFFIC STOP HAVING TO, YOU KNOW, REDIRECT THEIR MORNINGS AND THE EVENINGS COMING IN FROM HOME FROM WORK, BUT, YOU KNOW, THE DAY IF THEIR PATIENT IT'S GONNA IT WORKS OUT TO THEIR BENEFIT. THEY HAVE GREAT STREETS TO DRIVE ON. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND EVERYONE, UH, WITH THE DEPARTMENT FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS BECAUSE IT DEFINITELY SHOWS THE APPRECIATED. I JUST HAVE A SMALL COMMENT, SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS THAT WE IF WE WERE TO NEED MORE FUNDS FOR MICROS SURFACING FOR YOU GUYS TO COME BACK TO US TO ASK FOR IT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT WILL DEFINITELY HELP WITH PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF THE ROADS, WHICH WILL THEN THE LIFE OF THE ROAD AT THE END, SO I DON'T I WOULDN'T LIKE TO STOP. I MEAN, I. I THINK THAT ABSOLUTELY LET'S GO AHEAD, APPROVE A MILLION. BUT IF YOU GUYS SEE THAT THERE ARE MORE ROLES THAT YOU CAN GET DONE IN ONE YEAR, PLEASE COME BACK, UH, TO US FOR IT. THAT WILL SAVE US TIME AND MONEY AT THE END. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. THANK YOU, LEON. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS GENDER ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, RECEIVE A REPORT HOLD DISCUSSION

[8. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the Development Services Department plan to minimize or eliminate the $2.17 M annual expenditure for outsourced inspections.(Item Presenter: Kelly Stilwell, Building Official)]

FRAUD STEP DIRECTION REGARDING DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENTS PLAN TO MINIMIZE OR ELIMINATE THE $2.17 MILLION ANNUAL EXPENDITURE FOR OUTSOURCED INSPECTIONS. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BIG PROMISE. I MEAN, HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MELISSA MCCOLLUM. I MAY OUR NEW CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, AND I'M HERE TO DO A TAG TEAM PRESENTATION WITH KELLY, WHO'S DONE ALL THE WORK HERE AND JUST TAKING THE CREDIT FOR IT. WE'RE REALLY EXCITING, UM, TO PRESENT, UH, THIS ITEM TO YOU, UH, FOR CONSIDERATION, UM, AGAIN COMING ON BOARD. KELLY'S FIVE MONTHS OLD. I'M A MONTH AND A HALF OLD HERE AT THE CITY. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT KIND OF OUR COMBINED, UH, DEPARTMENT THAT WE HAVE HERE REALLY LOOKING AT A BUILDING CODE ENFORCEMENT PLAN.

AND GIS. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES OF COMBINING THESE DEPARTMENTS, UH, TOGETHER AND REALLY, KELLY, UH, SAT DOWN WHEN HE TOOK OVER THE BUILDING OFFICIAL ROLE AND REALLY LOOKED AT, UM, HOW THE DEPARTMENTS RUN SOME OPPORTUNITIES. UH, FOR, UM, COST SAVINGS THAT WE COULD DO WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT AND REALLY HEARING KYLE. WE CURRENTLY USE A PRIVATE CONTRACTORS FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR INSPECTIONS. SO UM, THAT'S FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. HONESTLY, REALLY, AT TO THE AMOUNT OF GROWTH THAT WE HAVE. YOU CAN LOOK EVERYWHERE AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION ALL AT THE SAME TIME, AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT, UH, THROUGH THE TIMES AND YEARS. WE'VE, UM YOU KNOW, HAD SOME STAFF TURNOVER AT, UH, THE CITY AGAIN, UH, KELLY'S ON BOARD NOW AND LOOKING FOR WAYS TO REALLY KIND OF TRAIN OUR CURRENT EMPLOYEES THAT WE HAVE ON STAFF, UH, BRING ON SOME ADDITIONAL TRAINED EMPLOYEES AND HOPEFULLY DO, UH, SOME SAVINGS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOR OUR OUTSOURCED INSPECTIONS. SO AGAIN, UM. LAST YEAR WE SPENT LIKE, UM GOSH, OVER 2.6 MILLION ON OUTSOURCED INSPECTIONS THAT INCLUDES BOTH INSPECTIONS AND PLAN REVIEW. WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT KEEPING A PLAN REVIEW . UM, OUTSOURCED, UH, BUT REALLY KIND OF, UH, HAVING A PROPOSAL FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THIS EVENING OF BRINGING INSPECTIONS IN HOUSE. SO UM, PART OF HIS, UH, FIRST, UH, THING HE LOOKED AT WITH OUR, UM, OUTSOURCED INSPECTIONS IS REALLY GOING OUT. UH, FOR AN RFP. UH, WE ACTUALLY RELEASED THAT IN NOVEMBER. WE HAVE THE RESULTS BACK FOR THAT. WE DO HAVE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU TO CONSIDER AN AWARD. UH, THAT CONTRACT FOR ONE OUTSOURCE

[01:00:03]

INSPECTION, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT BRINGING THAT BACK TO YOU AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, UH, WITH, UH, A BUDGET AMENDMENT, AND SO, UH, WITH THAT, UH, WE'RE HOPING, UH, TO STREAMLINE. SOME OF OUR OUTSOURCE INSPECTIONS CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, UH, WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT KIND OF, UH, SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR INSPECTIONS WE HAVE IN HOUSE, UM, INSPECTIONS AND THEN WE HAVE TWO OUTSOURCED, UH, INSPECTIONS PROVIDERS, WHICH INCLUDE A TS AND SAFE BET, AND THEY EMPLOY ABOUT, UH, FIVE PEOPLE, EACH THAT, UH, PERFORM INSPECTIONS HERE IN THIS AREA. WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, HAVING ONE OUTSOURCED INSPECTIONS PROVIDER AND, UM, NOT ONLY FILLING OUR TWO CURRENT VACANT INSPECTION POSITIONS THAT POTENTIALLY ADDING TO ADDITIONAL INSPECTORS LAWN TO REALLY KIND OF, UH, WORK TOWARDS ELIMINATING OUR RELIANCE ON OUTSOURCED INSPECTIONS. SO AGAIN, WE REALLY LOOKED AT KIND OF BRINGING INSPECTIONS IN HOUSE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE, UM UM ARE, UM. REVIEW UM, OUTSOURCING, AND THEN WE'RE HOPING WITH BRINGING, UH, AND STAFFING UP AND BRINGING INSPECTIONS ON BOARD. UH THAT WE CAN, UM, UPDATE OUR STAFFING LEVELS AND REALLY KIND OF ELIMINATE OUR INSPECTIONS. AND THIS IS AS WE KNOW, WE CURRENTLY AVERAGE 100 AND 40 INSPECTIONS PER DAY. SO THOSE ARE CONTINUE TO BE, UM, INCREASING OR PRETTY PRETTY REGULAR FOR US HERE IN KYLE. I KIND OF THESE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES REALLY KIND OF SHOW WHERE OUR CURRENT TRAJECTORY IS. YOU CAN SEE A PREVIOUS YEARS. UM THE ORANGE REPRESENTS, UH, CURRENTLY, UH, WHAT WE DO INSPECTIONS WISE. WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF RAMPED UP OUR INSPECTIONS CURRENTLY WITH THE CURRENT INSPECTORS THAT WE HAVE, BUT WE REALLY HOPE YOU WITH FILLING THE TWO VACANT POSITIONS AND RE EVALUATING TWO OTHER POSITIONS THAT WE HAVE THE CURRENTLY VACANT THAT WE CAN STREAMLINE. UH, SOME OF THOSE INSPECTIONS. WE'RE HOPING WITH ADDING TWO ADDITIONAL, SO THAT WOULD BE FOUR, FILLING OUR TWO VACANT AND ADDING TWO ADDITIONAL BUILDING INSPECTIONS THAT WE COULD WORK AND RECLASSIFY IN OUR CURRENT, UM, KIND OF SUPERVISOR. UM, INSPECTION THAT WE, UH, COULD ELIMINATE OR REDUCE OUR RELIANCE ON A TS AND JUST HAVE THEM, UM, FOR KIND OF BACKUP, AND, UH FOR EBB AND FLOW OF INSPECTIONS. AND AGAIN, THIS SLIDE REALLY KIND OF SHOWS WITH BRINGING, UM ALL OF THOSE INSPECTORS IN HOUSE AND THE RECLASSIFICATION OF THOSE POSITIONS ARE REALLY KIND OF FOCUSING ON THIS YEAR TODAY AND PROPOSE FOR NEXT YEAR. SO CURRENT INSPECTIONS COSTS. UH, CURRENTLY WE RANGE BETWEEN 55 AND 75 PER INSPECTIONS. AS YOU SAW. WE'VE WE'VE SPENT ABOUT 2 MILLION, UM, PREDOMINANTLY AND, UM, AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE BUDGETED FOR OUT OUTSIDE INSPECTIONS. WE'RE HOPING WITH BRINGING THOSE INSPECTIONS IN HOUSE, UM, AVERAGING THOSE OUT WELL, INTERNALLY WE WOULD SPEND ABOUT $25 PER INSPECTION. WHICH WOULD HAVE A SAVINGS OF A LITTLE UNDER A MILLION FOR US. AND AGAIN WHEN KELLY WAS RUNNING ALL THESE NUMBERS FOR US, YOU KNOW, AN AVERAGE INSPECTOR CAN PERFORM FROM 20 TO 40 INSPECTIONS. BUT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH OF HOW MANY INSPECTIONS EACH INSPECTOR CAN DO PER DAY, UH, WE, UH, TOOK A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH OF 25. AND THEN, UM, WE ARE HOPING WITH THE AWARDING OF THE NEW RFP TO LIMIT UH TO ONE OUTSIDE INSPECTIONS, BRINGING THE FILLING THE TWO NEW INSPECTIONS IN HOUSE, UH, THAT WE CAN, UH, SAVE SOME MONEY THIS YEAR, AND THEN WE'RE HOPING ALSO TO, UH, FUND THROUGH A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS INSPECTORS FOR NEXT YEAR. SO WE HAVE THE TWO PLANS. UH PLAN A IS REALLY LOOKING AT, UH, WHAT STAFF RECOMMENDS? AND THAT IS, UH, FILLING OUR CURRENT VACANCY. UM LOOKING AT, UM RECLASSIFYING THOSE TWO POSITIONS AND BRINGING , UH TO A NEW INSPECTOR POSITIONS ON BOARD AND THEN ALSO AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR, UH, THE RFP. AND THEN PLAN B WOULD KIND OF, UM, WOULD STILL HAVE US A WAR IN THE CONTRACT FOR THE RFP FULFILLING OUR CURRENT VACANCY. BUT THEN ALSO, UM UM RECLASSIFYING THE CURRENT INSPECTIONS, AND THAT WOULD SAVE US SOME MONEY, BUT NOT AS MUCH BECAUSE WE WOULD STILL HAVE CONTINUAL RELIANCE ON ON OUR OUTSOURCE INSPECTION PROVIDER.

SO THIS NEXT SLIDE JUST KIND OF SHOWS WHERE OUR CURRENT INSPECTORS ARE IN OUR VACANT POSITIONS. AND THEN THIS SLIDE REALLY KIND OF SHOWS WHEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO RECLASSIFY THOSE TWO INSPECTION UH OR TWO CURRENT VACANT POSITIONS AND THEN FILLING OUR, UH OTHER BUILDING INSPECTOR VACANT POSITIONS AND THEN BRINGING TWO NEW INSPECTORS ON BOARD. SO PLAN

[01:05:08]

A DOES COST SOME MONEY ON ITS OWN. WE'RE LOOKING AT USING 270,000 AND THAT WOULD BE TO BRING THE NEW POSITIONS ON BOARD . IN ADDITION TO THE RECLASSIFICATION, THAT WOULD BE ABOUT A 1.75 MILLION ANNUAL SAVINGS PLAN, B AND THAT WOULD BE FILLING THE CURRENT AND VACANCIES. BUT THEN ALSO, UM DOING THE RECLASSIFICATIONS. HOWEVER WE WOULD, UH, RETAIN, UM, PREDOMINANTLY THE OUTSOURCED INSPECTIONS FOR THAT WOULD BE THE TWO POSITIONS THAT WOULD STILL SAVE US SOME MONEY, BUT IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT LESS AT 1.13. SO THE PROS HAVE REALLY KIND OF BRINGING THE TWO ADDITIONAL INSPECTORS ON BOARD. YOU KNOW YOU YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR INSPECTORS THAT ARE, UM ONE HOUSE. UH, THEY'RE UNDERSTANDING THE QUALITY AND THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY FOR INSPECTIONS. UM THERE IS SOME, UM, ONGOING ISSUES FOR CONSISTENCY AND OVERSIGHT. THIS WOULD ELIMINATE, UH, SOME OF THOSE ISSUES. AND THEN ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE, UM WOULD HAVE OUR KYLE CORE VALUES AND, UM, IT REALLY COULD HELP US, UM, OVERALL WITH THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT OF INDIVIDUAL OR ADDITIONAL NEEDS. UH, THAT COULD HAND UP OUR JOB DUTIES. WE WOULD HAVE, UM, SOME STAFF ONLINE THAT COULD HELP WITH SUPPORTING THAT. SOME OF THE, UM CONS ARE, UM ARE FACILITIES ARE CURRENTLY VERY CROWDED. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE, UH, WITH, UM, DEALING WITH SOME OF THE, UM FACILITIES, UH, ISSUES THAT ARE CURRENTLY HERE AT CITY HALL, SOMETIMES MOVING AWAY FROM OUTSOURCED, UM, INSPECTIONS CAN RE REDUCE RESPONSE TIMES. UH, KELLY, WITH HIS SEVERAL DECADES OF CAREER REALLY HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON HOW, UM TO POTENTIALLY, UM, MITIGATE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES AND UTILIZING SOME BEST PRACTICES AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, IF REDUCING YOUR RELIANCE ON ALL SORTS INSPECTIONS, THEY CAN MOVE THEIR NEEDS ELSEWHERE TO OTHERS. SO MAYBE YOU'RE NOT THE HIGHEST PRIORITY FOR THEM, UM, TO BE ON BACKUP CALL. SO PLANS FOR A RETENTION AND ATTRACTION AND HOUSE. KELLY HAS A WHOLE PLAN.

UH, FOR THAT HE'S REALLY LOOKED AT, UM OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR STATE MANDATED LICENSES CERTIFICATIONS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN OUR INSURANCE RATINGS AND THEN ALSO, UM, WORKING WITH STAFF TO DO, UM, TIME FRAMES FOR PAID, PAID STUDY AND OBTAINING LICENSES. UM THIS PLAN DOES LOOK AT, UM DOING THE FAIR MARKET. COMPARABLE RATES OF WHAT IN SHOULD BE PAID. I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY WE'VE HAD , UH, SOME OF THESE VACANCIES, UH, FOR SO LONG, SO THIS WOULD BRING US UP TO MARKET, UH, FOR THAT, AND THEN FOCUSING ON A CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING AND THEN CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND, UM. AND THEN WE COULD LOOK AT, UH, PEOPLE NEED INSPECTIONS AT ALL TIMES. SO I DO THINK THERE'S SOME WAYS WE CAN LOOK AT, UM THE SCHEDULE OF INSPECTORS TO DO EARLIER AND LATER THAT WORKS ON KIND OF, UM, DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTIONS, UH, SCHEDULES AND THEN THIS WOULD HELP US WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT OVERALL BEING SUPPORTED IN HOUSE. SO AGAIN, UM, TOWARDS THE END OF MY SLIDES HERE, BUT WE REALLY DO RECOMMEND, UM, PLAN A AND THAT WOULD BE COMING BACK TO YOU, UH, NEXT WEEK FOR A BUDGET CHANGE, AND THAT WOULD BE AWARDING THE RFP ASKING FOR YOU TO CONSIDER A TWO ADDITIONAL, UH, POSITIONS. UH FOR, UH, THE VACANT OR TWO ADDITIONAL INSPECTOR POSITIONS, ALLOWING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECLASSIFY OR WE WILL BE RECLASSIFYING THE, UH TWO EXISTING POSITIONS AND THEN FILLING THOSE VACANCIES AS WELL.

AND THEN WE'RE HOPING WITH THE TRANSITION AND TRAINING, UH, THAT WE HAVE PLANNED IN HOUSE THAT WE CAN FORM. UH, THOSE MORE INSPECTIONS IN HOUSE AND THEN REALLY HAVE A SAVINGS FOR US OVERALL IN THE BUDGET. SO THIS ITEM WAS, UH, DEFINITELY SPEARHEADED AND KIND OF A KICKOFF FOR THAT AGAIN WITH THE RFP. THAT WAS, UH, RELEASED BACK IN NOVEMBER. WE WOULD LIKE TO AWARD THAT AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING IN ADDITION TO THE BUDGET AMENDMENT, AND THEN I ALSO WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT, UH, DEVELOPER FEE ANALYSIS. OVERALL HERE IN KIND OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR, UH, PLANNING AND INSPECTIONS, AND THEN WE'RE ALSO BRINGING, UM, KIND OF ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS ON BOARD, TOO, AND IN PARKS FOR THAT SO YOU CAN REALLY KIND OF SEE WHERE WE'RE AT BENCHMARKING AND I HOPE TO BRING THAT AT THE SECOND MEETING IN MARCH. SO KELLY IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AS WELL AND THAT PRETTY MUCH CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION THAT I HAVE. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE FOR YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MELISSA, UH, CUT

[01:10:01]

PARSLEY. THANK YOU. HAVE WE BUDGETED ALREADY FOR THIS INSPECTIONS IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET YEAR? YES, MA'AM, SO THIS WILL BASICALLY BE A SAVINGS IF WE WERE TO APPROVE OPTION A CORRECT SINCE WE HAVE ALREADY ADDED TO THE BUDGET, THIS TYPE OF INSPECTION. YES, MA'AM, BUT, UH, WE WOULD NEED TO BRING BACK A BUDGET MOVEMENT FOR THE TWO ADDITIONAL FTES. SO WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PERSONNEL ROOM IN OUR NUMBER OF PEOPLE, UH, THAT YOU'VE AUTHORIZED FOR US, SO THAT WOULD BE THE BUDGET AMENDMENT. BUT IT WOULD BE A, UH, WITHIN THE BUDGET. YOU WOULD HAVE SOME SAVINGS. NO I GET TO ME. IT'S ALL ABOUT KEEPING THINGS IN HOUSE. I THINK THAT'S THE WAY TO GO. SO I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS BECAUSE WE'RE HERE. DO WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH THE CURRENT INSPECTORS? THE TWO GROUPS THAT WE WORK WITH, UM AND WE WOULD HAVE SOME MINIMUM USE OF THOSE OVER THE YEAR. THIS BUDGET YEAR ANYWAY, SO I WOULD SAY WITH WITH THE AWARD OF THE RFP THAT, UM, WE WENT OUT FOR IT WOULD ELIMINATE ONE OF THOSE, UH, PARTIES SO WE WOULD ONLY HAVE ONE THIRD PARTY CONTRACT THAT WE WOULD RELY ON STARTING STARTING AS SOON AS YOU WOULD HAVE, UH, ESSENTIALLY APPROVE THAT AWARD SO IT COULD BE AS THAT WOULD BE. THERE'S NOT I. I THINK IT'S AN AS NEEDED CONTRACT SO WE WOULDN'T BE BREAKING A CONTRACT WITH THEM. THANK YOU.

OK, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE, UM ADDITIONAL ADDED TO, UH. INSPECTORS AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT 270,000 WAS THAT CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE, THE INSURANCE? UH, RETIREMENT IS ALL THAT IN THAT 270. DON'T THAT WAS ALL. UH, WE FACTORED IN THE COST OF VEHICLES MAINTENANCE COST. UH, WE ADDED IN A 35% BENEFIT, AND IT'S BASED ON THE MIDRANGE SALARY FOR A STARTING BUILDING, INSPECTOR. OK SOUNDS GOOD. THAT WAS IT JUST WASN'T BROKEN DOWN FOR ME. I WAS JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD COVERED EVERYTHING WHEN IT GOES, SO I I'M ALL FOR IN HOUSE. BUT THE PROBLEM WITH IN HOUSE SOMETIMES IS THAT YOU GET ALL THOSE THAT OTHER EXPENSES, YOU KNOW, MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLES YOU HAVE. NOW YOU'RE NEEDING SPACE, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE LACKING HERE IS WE DON'T HAVE OFFICE SPACE, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HOPEFULLY WE CAN RECTIFY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. BUT JUST MAKING SURE WE HAVE SOMEWHERE THEY CAN COME IN. THEY CAN DO THE REPORTS EVERYTHING OR ARE THEY GONNA BE DOING THAT FROM THEIR TRUCK? WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BASED A LOT OF THIS NEW MODEL ON A WORKOUT OF VEHICLE UNTIL WE GET MORE SPACE, BUT WE DO HAVE LIMITED SPACE NOW, BUT THAT'S GONNA BE THE MODEL IN THE FUTURE SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY DO IN AUSTIN. UM EVERYBODY WORKS ON THEIR VEHICLES. THEY PARK IN REMOTE LOCATIONS. THEY GET THEIR INSPECTION SIGNED TO THEM IN THE MORNING, AND OFF THEY GO. LET'S JUST MAKE SURE THE PARK IT REALLY GOOD LOCATIONS. UH, UNFORTUNATELY SOMETIMES, UH, I WORK IN AUSTIN AND I'VE SEEN A LOT OF WHAT GOES ON, YOU KNOW, INSPECTOR JUST CARELESSLY PARKED SOMEWHERE AND HE'S DOING HIS WORK. HE'S INSIDE THE VEHICLE, BUT HE'S PARKED NEAR SOMEWHERE. SHOULDN'T BE NEAR PARK AND THEY THINK HE'S INSIDE THE ESTABLISHMENT INSTEAD OF WORKING IN HIS VEHICLE, BUT IT JUST JUST MAKING SURE WE'RE PARKED IN REALLY GOOD PLACES. ALL RIGHT, SO DEFINITELY SOMETHING. THAT'S YEAH, BECAUSE I I'VE SEEN THAT CONTROVERSY. I DON'T WANNA SEE IT HERE IN THE CITY OF KYLE, BUT , YEAH, JUST, UH, MAKING SURE THAT WE TOOK ALL THE, UH, COSTS THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AND GAVE US A TRUE NUMBER, SO I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. TOBIAS. OK, UM SO ON ONE OF YOUR SLIDES. YOU HAVE THE INSPECTION COST. FOR THE YEAR WAS $2 MILLION. WAS THAT IT? UP TO ROUGHLY. YEAH, THE INSPECTION COST FOR THIS THIS, UH, CALENDAR YEAR. WERE 2.17 MILLION. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, OK, WHERE'S THAT FUNDING GOING TOWARDS? THE COLLECTIONS OF ALL THAT MONEY THAT WE RECEIVE FROM ALL THESE INSPECTIONS. WHERE DOES THAT ALL THAT GENERATED? DOES THIS GO BACK TO THE INSPECTOR? SO DOES IT. GO BACK TO THE DEPARTMENT ITSELF? THE FUNDS GENERAL THE GENERAL TO THE GENERAL THE GENERAL FINE. YEAH, IT GOES TO THE GENERAL FUND. AND THEN AND THEN THIS CONTRACT WOULD WOULD GO OUT TO PAY THOSE FROM THAT. AND SO, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR IS TO HAVE ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES TO IN HOUSE AND I GUESS THE QUESTION I WOULD HAVE IS THE BREAKDOWN OF THE SALARY. THAT'S LIKE COUNCILMAN OR MAYOR PRO TEM WAS STATING, UM, TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT, BECAUSE IT IT IF THIS IS GONNA BE NOW A BUDGET AMENDMENT AND IF WE'RE SAVING 1.75, BUT THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE DISHING OUT 17 275,000. UH, FOR THESE EMPLOYEES, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA NEED TO HIRE MORE EVENTUALLY. WHERE'S THE SAVINGS? GONNA LAND AS FAR AS THE DATA SO THAT IF THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM AND ALSO, UH, I ALSO HEARD IN THE PAST THAT THERE'S ALSO A UM IT'S ALSO HARD . IT'S ALSO BEEN VERY HARD AND DIFFICULT TO HIRE INSPECTOR

[01:15:04]

INSPECTORS. SO THIS IS GONNA BE A HIGHER SEVERANCE PACKAGE THAT'S GONNA NEED TO BE OFFERED TO, UH, LOWER. UH, SOME INSPECTORS FROM FROM FROM THE AREAS. II. I GUESS WE'RE LOOKING AT. I'M JUST TRYING TO LOOK AT THE NUMBERS. I'M I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE DOLLARS RIGHT NOW IT IS WE ARE LOOKING AT, UM BENCHMARKING THE SALARIES AND INCREASING THOSE TO FILL THOSE NOT ONLY OUR, OUR IN HOUSE, UM, CURRENT VACANCIES THAT WE HAVE, BUT IT WOULD ALSO BE LOOKED AT, UM, OFFERING ADDITIONAL INCENTIVES FOR THE OTHER INSPECTORS TO COME ON. UH, KELLY HAS LOOKED AT KIND OF A TRAINING PROGRAM. THERE'S SOME WAYS, UH, TO BRING, UH, STAFF ON BOARD AND AS THEY GET THEIR ADDITIONAL LICENSES, PLUMBING LICENSE. THERE'S ANOTHER INSPECTIONS. YOU KNOW, YOU WORK WITH THEM ON ON THAT TRAINING TO DO THAT AS WELL . SO THERE IS, UM, OBVIOUSLY SOME COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, BUT I THINK OVERALL, IT'LL STILL BE, UM, SOME SAVINGS VERSUS JUST HAVING A THIRD PARTY OUTSOURCED INSPECTIONS, AND I DO AGREE WITH THE OUTSOURCING VERSUS IN HOUSE.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE I KNOW THIS IS ALSO A NEW DEPARTMENT. WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, GRASSROOT IN A WAY. THAT WE ALSO HAVE A STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR ACROSS THE BOARD FROM COMMERCIAL TO BUSINESS TO RESIDENTIAL. BECAUSE I THINK IN THE PAST WE'VE HAD RESIDENTIAL, UM OR RESIDENTS THAT ARE WANTING TO UPGRADE THEIR HOUSE OR HAVE INSPECTIONS AND THEY GET DROPPED IN THE LOOP, BECAUSE MAYBE THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE THIRD PARTY VENDOR, AND THEN THEY HAVE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS. RIGHT AND THEN WE COME BACK TO THE CITY AND THE CITY IS LIKE NO, THAT'S NOT THE FORM WE NEEDED. WE NEEDED THIS ONE. AND YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE THINGS COULD LAST TWO YEARS, MAYBE A SIX MONTHS AND I THINK ONCE MY HOPE WOULD BE ONCE YOU GET YOUR TEAM IN ORDER THAT YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR CORE VALUES, AND YOU WOULD HAVE IT TOWARDS VERY SIMPLE FOR RESIDENTS, EVEN SMALL BUSINESSES OR COMMERCIALS TO COME UP TO YOU GUYS AND SAY, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT. WE HAVE A PACKET THAT FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH , AND THEN THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WILL HANDLE THIS. AND YOU ALSO GIVE YOURSELF A TIMETABLE TO WHERE YOU DEVELOP YOUR YOUR YOUR STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES TO WHERE THESE SPECIFIC TYPE OF INSPECTIONS WILL BE GUARANTEED THAT WILL TAKE NO MORE THAN 30 DAYS OR TWO WEEKS AND SO FORTH.

THEM TO THINK ABOUT. I AGREE. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MELISSA. THANK YOU, KELLY. I APPRECIATE YOU. SO WE'LL JUST JUST TO CLARIFY. WE'LL PROCEED WITH OPTION A.

WE'LL BRING YOU BACK TO THOSE DOCUMENTS AT THE NEXT MEETING THAT WE NEED TO PROCEED WITH

[9. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction on the 2024 Special Events Calendar and options for the Kyle Fair and Pie in the Sky Festival.(Item Presenter: Mariana Espinoza, Director of Parks & Recreation)]

THAT AND, UH, GET STARTED RIGHT AWAY. THANK YOU. ALL EXCEPT AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER NINE RECEIVE A REPORT WHOLE DISCUSSION FOR OUR STAFF DIRECTION ON THE 2024 SPECIAL EVENTS, CALENDAR AND OPTIONS FOR THE CALL FAR AND PIE IN THE SKY FESTIVAL, MISS ESPINOSA. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MARIAN ESPINOSA PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR. SO WE GET TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE FUN EVENTS WE HAVE PLANNED FOR 2024, BUT SPECIFICALLY THOSE EVENTS THAT, UH, BRING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER AND CHANGE LIVES. SO TODAY WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT OUR DESTINATION EVENTS AND OUR, UH, COMMUNITY EVENTS, UH, AND ASKING FOR COUNCIL'S DIRECTION AND FEEDBACK ON HOW WE SHOULD PROCEED WITH THIS SERIES OF EVENTS, SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE TWO DESTINATION EVENTS, AND THOSE ARE THE EVENTS THAT BRING PEOPLE FROM OUT OF TOWN. AS THE KYLE FARR EXTRAVAGANZA AND PIE IN THE SKY. AND THOSE ARE BOTH COORDINATE BY OUR SPECIAL, UH, EVENTS. MANAGER OVER DESTINATION EVENTS. CLAUDIA ROCHA. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE 49 COMMUNITY SPECIAL EVENTS, WHICH ARE PROGRAMMED BY OUR RECREATION DIVISION UNDER THE DIRECTION OF ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AMY GARCIA AND EVENTS COORDINATOR SHEBA AIZA. SO AS I MENTIONED TODAY, WE'RE LOOKING FOR DIRECTION ON THE 2024 DESTINATION AND COMMUNITY EVENTS. SO ANY EVENTS THAT YOU MAY WANT US TO ADD OR DELETE FROM THIS YEAR'S CALENDAR? UM TODAY IS KIND OF THE TIME. WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR THAT FEEDBACK, UM, AND FOR DIRECTION, AND WE'RE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING FOR DIRECTION ON HOW TO PROCEED WITH THE KYLE FAIR AND A PIE IN THE SKY FOR THIS YEAR. SO THE PLANS FOR THE 2024 KYLE FAIR DATES ARE MAY 17TH THROUGH. MAY 19TH. IT'S AGAIN A THREE DAY FESTIVAL. AS OF RIGHT NOW, UH, WITH THE GATHERING OF KYLES AND OUR ATTEMPT TO BREAK THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS, AND THAT SATURDAY MORNING ON MAY 18TH WE WILL ALSO PLAN RIGHT NOW WE'RE PLANNING TO BRING BACK THE CARNIVAL. UH, LAST YEAR WE HAD A RIBS AND RITA CONTEST. WELL, THIS YEAR WE'RE ENDING FAJITAS. SO RIBS RITA AND FAJITAS. UM AGAIN, WE'LL BE HAVING VIP PARKING LIMITED ON SITE PARKING AT FOR VOLUNTEERS, VENDORS STAFF , UM AND AGAIN SHUTTLING FROM THE LOCAL SCHOOLS. PRICING FOR THE EVENT. AS OF RIGHT NOW IS FREE TO GET IN, UH, CARNIVAL TICKETS WILL BE SEPARATE, UH, BOTH PREPAID AND UM, ON SITE, AND IT'S A LIMITED PARKING AND, UM VIP 10 OPPORTUNITIES. THERE WILL BE ENTRY FOR YOU TO GET IN THE, UH RIBS, READERS AND FAJITAS COOKING CONTESTS. SO OUR REQUEST FOR KYLE FEAR THIS YEAR. UM IS LAST YEAR WE SPENT

[01:20:08]

$239,786.99 TO HOST THE KYLE FAIR. UH THE SOURCE OF FUNDS FROM THE KYLE FAR ARE FROM OUR HOT FUNDS. HOWEVER THE ACCOUNTING EXPENSING OF THE COST IS IN THE SPECIAL EVENTS COST CENTER IN THE GENERAL FUND. SO UH, THE INITIAL BUDGETED AMOUNTS FOR THE KYLE FAIR ARE THE HOT FUNDS. ANYTHING THAT IS OVER THAT COMES OUT OF OUR GENERAL FRONT IN 2024 BASED OFF OF FEEDBACK AND REQUEST THAT WE GOT AFTER LAST YEAR'S EVENTS. UH, WE ANTICIPATE SPENDING 440,200 TO MEET ALL OF THE REQUESTS THAT WERE ADDED AFTER THE EVENT. AND THIS IS A BREAKDOWN. I WON'T GO THROUGH IT ALL. IT'S KIND OF DIFFICULT TO SEE. BUT THE MAJOR EXPENSE DIFFERENCES ARE IN PERIMETER FENCING FOR THE EVENT. UH ADDING A FIREWORKS SHOW ONE NIGHT IN A DRONE SHOW THE NEXT NIGHT, THE EXPENSES FOR THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS WENT UP. UH, PERFORMANCE AND ENTERTAINMENT FEES WENT UP DECORATION COSTS WENT UP AGAIN. IT'S JUST TO COVER ITEMS THAT WERE MENTIONED IN THE POST EVENT FEEDBACK REVENUE COMPARISON BETWEEN, UH OH, THAT COLUMN IS MISSING. SORRY ABOUT THAT, GUYS. UH, REVENUE COMPARISON BETWEEN LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR, SO IN LAST YEAR, WE MADE APPROXIMATELY $49,960.50. IN REVENUE. AND THIS YEAR WE HAVE AN ESTIMATED $124,000 IN REVENUE EXPECTATIONS. SO WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS TO PRESENT FOR THE KYLE FAIR. AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT ONE. OK, SO OPTION ONE AND OPTION TWO ARE BOTH THREE DAY EVENTS AND I KNOW THIS HERE, SAYS TWO DAY EVENTS. UM BUT HOWEVER, WITH OPTION ONE WE CAN SELECT EITHER A FIREWORK SHOW OR A DRONE SHOW ONE OR THE OTHER WITH OPTION TWO. WE COULD DO A FIREWORKS SHOW ONE NIGHT AND A DRONE SHOW THE NEXT NIGHT. UM WITH OPTION 11 OF THE, UH, FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT LAST YEAR. THAT'S REALLY, REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET. CITY STAFF. UM THAT'S ALL ABLE TO WORK BECAUSE IT IS A THREE DAY WEEKEND AND SO ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE TO HIRE A STAFFING COMPANY TO SUPPLEMENT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT STAFF. SO WITH OPTION ONE, IT WOULD BE NO EVENT STAFFING COMPANY. IT WOULD BE ALL CITY STAFF. ALL DEPARTMENTS WORK IN THE EVENT AS I HAVE IN THE PAST WITH OPTION TWO, WE WOULD HIRE A STAFFING COMPANY, UH, THAT WOULD SUPPLEMENT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND OF COURSE, COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT WOULD WORK. POLICE WOULD WORK IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, BUT OTHER DEPARTMENTS WOULD NOT BE ASKED TO WORK IF WE WERE THE STAFFING COMPANY. WITH OPTION ONE WE CAN ADVERTISE IN THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS, THREE OF THEM FOR ONLY ONE MONTH TO TRY AND BEAT IT TO BE OUR GOAL. WITH OPTION TWO. THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS WILL ALLOW US TO ADVERTISE FOR THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT. WITH OPTION ONE. WE CAN ONLY HAVE ONE STAGE WITH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. WITH OPTION TWO. WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ADD A SECOND STAGE, WHICH WOULD BE A COMMUNITY STAGE TO FEATURE MORE COMMUNITY LOCAL BANDS. UM ALSO, WITH OPTION TWO, WE'D BE ABLE TO ADD A SATURDAY AND A SUNDAY PERFORMER. WITH OPTION ONE. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A LARGE TENT FOR OUR VENDORS, VENDORS WOULD HAVE TO BRING THEIR OWN TENTS. UH, WITH OPTION ONE. WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PERIMETER FENCING. THAT WAS ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, FROM LAST YEAR THAT WE WOULD NEED PERIMETER FENCING FOR THIS YEAR. AND WE BOTH OPTIONS. THE ADMISSION WOULD STILL STAY FREE. SO A BREAKDOWN OF THOSE OPTIONAL EXPENSES, THINGS THAT WE COULD ADD. UH, ARE NOT HAVE DRONES ALONE ABOUT $30,000, A FIREWORK SHOWS ABOUT 30,000, THE STAFFING EVENT COMPANY IS ABOUT 75,000, THE LARGE TENT AND FOR VENDORS AND ALL THE OTHER TENTS WOULD BE ABOUT 10,000. THE ADDITION OF A SUNDAY AND SATURDAY PERFORMER ABOUT 45,000. THE GATHERING OF KYLES FOR ONE MONTH IS 15,000, BUT, UH, TO PUBLICIZE THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS FOR THREE MONTHS, IT'S 30,000. ADDITIONAL STAGES 9000 AND THE EVENT FENCING, WHICH IS ABOUT 10,000. UH AND THEN WE TURN AROUND AND WE DO THE SAME THING FOR PIE IN THE SKY. WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS FOR PIE IN THE SKY. UH, TO PROVE A BUDGET OF 255. VERSUS A BUDGET OF 443 LIKE, UH, KYLE FAIR PIE IN THE SKY. THEY WOULD ALL REQUIRE BUDGET AMENDMENTS. UH, PIE IN THE SKY, THOUGH, FOR BOTH OPTIONS IS ONLY A TWO DAY EVENT. UH, WITH OPTION ONE. WE CAN SELECT EITHER A FIREWORK OR A DRONE SHOW AND SAY THERE WITH OPTION TWO. IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER WITH OPTION ONE. THERE'D BE NO EVENT STAFFING COMPANY WITH OPTION TWO. WE WOULD HAVE AN EVENT STAFFING COMPANY. A STAGE. UM, NO TENT, NO PERIMETER FENCING. AND THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE YOU PIE IN THE SKY ARE THE NUMBER OF HOT AIR BALLOONS SO WE WENT WITH OPTION ONE. 10 TO 15 HOT AIR BALLOONS AND OPTION TWO WOULD BE 15 TO 25 HOT AIR BALLOONS AND AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE ADMISSION FEE FOR THE EVENT IS FREE. UH, COMPARISON AT THE EXPENSES FOR PIE IN THE SKY. UH LAST YEAR I SPENT ABOUT

[01:25:07]

$252,206.25 FOR THE EVENT. THE ISSUE WITH ALL THE ESTIMATED COST AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE FEEDBACK AND REQUESTS AFTER LAST YEAR'S EVENT ABOUT 443,400. THIS CHART HERE IS ALSO MISSING.

I'M VERY SORRY. SO EXPECTED REVENUE FOR 2023 IS $39,086.06. 0. THAT WAS THE REVENUE IN 2023 AND ESTIMATED REVENUE FOR 2024 IS $65,700. ONE OF THE CHARGES. YOU WANTED TO, UH, KIND OF POINT OUT FOR BOTH, UH, THE KYLE FAIR. IT SHOWS THAT NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE, UH THE SOCIAL, CULTURAL, UH, BENEFITS OF HOSTING THE EVENT, BUT ALSO ECONOMIC IMPACTS . UH WE CAN SEE HERE THAT THE PLACES PEOPLE VISITED THE MOST WHEN THEY CAME TO THE KYLE FAIR WHERE THE TARGET SHOPPING AREA.

THE HEB SHOPPING AREA, THE WALMART SHOPPING AREA AND OF COURSE, GARCIA IS ON LEHMAN ROAD AREA. UH, WE'RE AMONGST THE TOP PLACES THAT FOLKS VISITED WHEN THEY CAME TO THE FAIR. SO I RECOMMEND OUR OPTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION. UM, THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOUR FEEDBACK TODAY IS TO OPTION ONE IS DIRECT US TO BRING BACK A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE EVENT BUDGET FOR BOTH EVENTS OR TO DIRECT US TO STAY WITHIN THAT. THE EVENT BUDGETS AS BUDGETED AND THIS IS JUST FOR THE DESTINATION EVENTS. I'LL MOVE ON TO COMMUNITY EVENTS AFTER IF I WANT, I CAN STOP THERE FOR A DESTINATION CUTS WERE PARSLEY. THANK YOU. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

SO FIRST I APPLAUD YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE ON BOTH EVENTS. UH, BECAUSE THEY BOTH WERE FANTASTIC. UM AND SO I'M ALL ABOUT HIRING STUFF BECAUSE I KNOW HOW HARD YOU GUYS WERE WORKING. AND EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE VOLUNTEERS, IT WAS STILL A LOT OF WORK. SO, UM HOW POPULAR OR HOW WELL RECEIVED HAS BEEN PIE IN THE SKY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. RIGHT. SO LAST YEAR WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE BROUGHT BACK THE FULL THREE DAY FESTIVAL TO LIKE KYLE AND WE, UH, HAD ABOUT OVER 6000 GUESTS SHOW UP TO THE PIE IN THE SKY EVENT. UM SO WE FELT THAT LAST YEAR IS EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL. UM AND THEN THE YEAR BEFORE THAT WE WAS A VERY, VERY SMALL VERSION OF PIE IN THE SKY, GREG CLARK PARK AND A COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE THAT IT WAS COVID. SO THEY WERE CANCELED. SO LAST YEAR WAS REALLY OUR MAIN YEAR TO BRING IT BACK TO LIKE KYLE AS A FULL EVENT. UM, OUR DESTINATION EVENT MANAGER, CLAUDIA IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD ON THAT, OK? SO WE KNOW JUST BASED OFF FEEDBACK THAT EVERYONE LOVED THE HOT AIR BALLOON SESSION. I WAS JUST WONDERING BECAUSE I KNOW YEARS IN THE PAST, WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH COVID AND LIKE WEATHER, OR SOMETHING WAS COMING UP. SO I WANTED TO KNOW. UH YOU KNOW IF PEOPLE WERE HAPPY WITH IT, I THINK I LOVE THE COW. TVA I THINK THAT EVENT WAS INCREDIBLE. SO I AM ALL FOR IT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS FEEL LIKE THE THREE DAYS WAS, UH, WE GOT THE SAME ATTENDANCE FOR THE THREE DAYS IF THERE WAS ONE DAY MORE POPULAR THAN OTHERS. I KNOW THAT I COULDN'T GO ON FRIDAY.

YOU KNOW MOST PEOPLE THAT WORK PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO GO, UH, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FOR SURE. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT WORKS BEST FOR STAFF OR FOR THE CITY. I DON'T KNOW IF WE GOT A HEAD COUNT OF HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOW UP EACH DAY. DEFINITELY A SATURDAY WAS THE BUSIEST DAY. UM THE OTHER TWO DAYS ARE PRETTY EVENLY DISTRIBUTED. AND AS YOU MENTIONED BACK TO THE HOT AIR BALLOON FESTIVAL BACK TO PIE IN THE SKY, THE WEATHER IS A FACTOR EVERY SINGLE YEAR THAT DOES HAVE A HISTORY OF THE BALLOONS AND THAT GOING UP, UM, BUT LAST YEAR WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL OK, UM AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF I FOR THE TEXTURE. AGANA THAT WE TELL THE VENDORS, UM ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO BE DOING CONTEST TO MAKE SURE TO HAVE ENOUGH DRINKS AND FOOD FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE I KNOW LAST YEAR THEY RAN OUT AND PEOPLE WERE HAVING LIKE THE LITTLE TICKETS WHEN THEY WHEN THEY ANOTHER MARGARITA, AND THEY THEY HAD NOT ENOUGH, SO THAT WILL BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER FOR THEM. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN INVOLVE THE SCHOOLS LIKE AC, ISD OR CHARTER SCHOOLS, AND IF WE COULD OFFER IF THEY VOLUNTEER TO HAVE SOME COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING ADDITIONAL TO THE STAFFING. WE DEFINITELY WE'RE GONNA REACH BACK OUT TO THE SCHOOLS AGAIN. SO ONE OF THE ISSUES WE FACED LAST YEAR. IT'S RIGHT AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, UM AND SO TO GET THEM TO COME OUT AS A VOLUNTEER GROUPS OR TO EVEN PERFORM AS THEIR DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE CLUBS WAS A LITTLE CHALLENGING, BUT CLAUDIA PLANT IS ALREADY REACHING OUT TO THEM IF YOU WANT TO, AND I KNOW CLAUDIA HAS AGREED TO COME TO MY SCHOOL TOMORROW TO TALK ABOUT EVENTS TO OUR NHS KIDS, SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO LET THEM KNOW. OTHER THINGS IS, UM, FOR THAT SECTION FOR VOLUNTEERS IS THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE, UH, GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS AND US KNOWING A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT, AND I KNOW MAJORITY OF Y'ALL HELPED OUT WITH THAT REGISTRATION THAT REGISTRATION IS GOING TO TAKE PREREGISTRATION'S GONNA BE RUN LIKE A RACE. AND SO THAT'LL BE FRIDAY, SO THE ATTENDANCE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THIS YEAR ON FRIDAY, BECAUSE IT IS GONNA BE PACKAGE PICKUP FOR THEM FOR THE KYLES. THE OTHER THING IS, WE NEED NON CITY. UH OFFICIALS AND CITY EMPLOYEES AS COUNT. AND

[01:30:07]

SO THAT'S ANOTHER AREA WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO INCREASE OUR VOLUNTEERS AND NEED MORE PEOPLE AND, UH, STAFFING AT THAT POINT WILL NOT ACTUALLY STAFF BUT VOLUNTEERS. UM AND THE NEXT THING WILL BE. I'M ALL FOR FIREWORKS. EVERYBODY LOVES FIREWORKS, SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE A FANTASTIC ADDITION TO THE TEXT. PROVA GZA AND I DON'T KNOW WHATEVER BUDGET AMENDMENT YOU NEED. YOU KNOW, I'M ALL GONNA GIVE YOU ALL THE MONEY IF I CAN ZUNIGA THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. IT'S UM HOW WILL TWO STAGES WORK? AND THEN I THINK A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK I GOT FROM THE COMMUNITY WAS THE CARNIVAL. THEY FELT LIKE THE RIDES WERE THE LINES WERE TOO LONG AND NOT ENOUGH VARIETY FOR THE LITTLE KIDS AND MIDDLE MIDDLE AGED KIDS RIGHT WITH THE ADDITION OF THE SECOND STAGE, WE'LL HAVE MUSIC PLAYING ALL THE TIME. SO WHEN THE MUSIC COMES OUT ON ONE STAGE, RIGHT WHEN IT GOES DOWN, THAT SECOND STAGE IS GONNA POP BACK UP ALL THE OTHER STAGES SETTING UP SO THAT'S OUR PLAN AND OUR VISION FOR THE SECOND STAGE, AND THEN WE ARE ALSO DOUBLING THE SIZE OF THE CARNIVAL THIS YEAR. UM, SO LAST YEAR WAS OUR FIRST TIME HAVING A CARNIVAL AT OUR EVENT, SO THE VENDOR HAD TO TAKE A CHANCE ESSENTIALLY ON US, AND IT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL CARNIVAL EXPERIENCE. AND SO THEY ARE BRINGING BE BRINGING OUT MORE, UH, RISE AND RISE FOR LARGER OR OLDER CHILDREN. AND THEN I GUESS ON THE REVENUES. HOW CAN WE INCREASE THE REVENUES IN SOME WAY? I MEAN FOR THESE EVENTS, UM , OBVIOUSLY II. I LOVE HAVING THE FUN PART OF IT, BUT TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF IT. IS THERE ALCOHOL SALES THAT THE CITY COULD CHARGE. I KNOW PEOPLE BROUGHT IN COOLERS THEIR OWN, SO THEY WERE BASICALLY BRINGING IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. SO CLAUDIA HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE ALCOHOL VENDOR. BUT SHE'S ALSO BEEN, UH, WORKING ACTIVELY WITH OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. UH, DEPARTMENT SPECIFICALLY LAUREN LINE TO THEY HAVE AGGRESSIVELY BEEN GOING OUT TO TRY AND SEEK MORE SPONSORSHIPS THIS YEAR. UM AND THEY ARE RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF SECURING SOME MAJOR SPONSORS FOR THIS YEAR TO HELP, UM, INCREASE OUR REVENUE. WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH THE ALCOHOL AND ALCOHOL VENDOR TO GET A PORTION.

UH UH OF THEIR C. SO, YES. AND THE OTHER, UH, AREAS OF INCREASED, UH, REVENUE IS THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING TO CHARGE FOR A VIP TENT AND HAVE, UH, HAVE THAT WITH THE ALONGSIDE THE, UH, PARKING AND LAST THING I'LL SAY, I DO THINK WE NEED THE FRIDAY A THREE DAY EVENT FOR SUCH A BIG EVENT. I THINK TWO DAYS IS TOO FAST TOO MUCH TO DO AND IT THE WEEKEND IS TOO FAST, SO JUST TO GIVE PEOPLE THAT EXTRA DAY OFF FRIDAY. WHERE I WOULD BE WITH IT. ARE WE? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE TEXT EXTRAVAGANZA OR PIE IN THE SKY OR BOTH. I THINK YOU WEREN'T BOTH. UH SO KYLE F THREE DAY AND PIE IN THE SKY IS TOO WELL PIE IN THE SKY, TOO. COUNCILOR HAUSER. YEAH, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO READ. REITERATE THAT, UH, PI, UH, PIE IN THE SKY TWO DAYS AND UH, KYLE FAR THREE DAYS. I THINK THAT ONE IS THE MOST LONGEVITY FOR US TO CONTINUE. INTO THE FUTURE AND TO GROW. UM SOME OF THE AMENITIES THERE AND COUNCIL MEMBER ZUNIGA. I TYPICALLY WOULD BE IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU IN REGARD TO GENERATING REVENUE, BUT I THINK THAT MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE.

TRY TO LOOK AT IN THE FUTURE. UH, AS WE GROW OUR PARK AMENITIES ACROSS THE CITY. UH, BECAUSE THIS IS A QUALITY OF LIFE. TYPE OF EVENT THAT UM, I THINK WE NEED TO TRY TO MAKE AS FAMILY FRIENDLY AND AFFORDABLE IS HUMANLY POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE. NOW IF WE WANT A NICKEL AND DIME THE VENDORS I'M TOTALLY COOL WITH THAT, UH, THE VENDOR FEES DID INCREASE THIS YEAR. OK, TELL THEM IF THEY WANNA SERVE THERE, THEY HAVE TO BRING RIBS AND, UH, FAJITAS AND MARGARITAS TO EVERY COUNCIL MEETING. UNTIL THEN. YEAH, AND I GET TO JUDGE THE, UH MARGARITA AND RIB EATING CONTENT. GET SOME ACTION ONCE AGAIN IF WE COULD DO THAT. IT WAS REAL GOOD. DON'T DON'T GET MY WORDS WRONG. COUNCIL MEMBER HAS RIGHT. I DO SUPPORT KEEPING IT FREE AND AFFORDABLE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO THANK YOU. BUT. GOOD CUSTOMER TO BE OK, I. I THINK ROBERT AND I MIGHT BE ON THIS PROTEIN MIGHT BE ON THE SAME PAGE ON THIS. BUT AGAIN, UM I THINK REFERENCING MY QUESTION THAT I SENT YOU YESTERDAY IN MY EMAIL. I THINK, UM, FIRST OF ALL , IT'S HARD TO SAY, WHAT ARE STR OUR SALES TAX RETURN. UH, WOULD BE FOR THE CITY AS A WHOLE. BECAUSE AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUTSIDE VENDORS OR PEOPLE COMING OVER HERE. SO IT IT DOES. IT IS LOOK LIKE IT HAS DOUBLED IN PRICE. COMPARED TO LAST YEAR, BECAUSE I KNOW WE WANT TO ADD MORE STUFF. UM IT'S HARD TO TELL WHAT THE HOTEL REVENUE IS GONNA BRING IN. I KNOW YOU LISTED WELL, THESE PEOPLE VISITED A TB.

[01:35:03]

IN THE AIR AIRPORT. THAT'S IN AUSTIN, BUT WE DON'T SEE THE OVERALL SALES TAX. AS FAR AS THE CITY GOES AGAIN. WE WANT QUALITY OF LIFE. UM I'M JUST STILL FOR THE PAST COUPLE YEARS, STILL NOT SOLD ON JUST PIE IN THE SKY AS A WHOLE. BECAUSE UH, IT IT DOES SEEM THAT WE DO FINANCE THIS EVERY YEAR. AND DO PEOPLE DO COME OUT, UM BUT IT'S VERY UNPREDICTABLE. OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU KNOW, WITH THE WEATHER AND EVERYTHING ELSE SO IT'S KIND OF ALWAYS HARD FOR ME TO GET ON BOARD. I'M I'M ALL ABOUT THE FAMILY EVENTS AND SO FORTH, BUT IT'S JUST THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WHERE I'M AT ON THAT, UM OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK EVERYTHING IS GOING OK. I IS OK. UH, THE DRONES. YOU KNOW, I'M STILL NOT SOLD ON IT, BUT I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S NEW FOR A LOT OF BIG CITIES. UM BUT THAT'S JUST JUST MY OVERALL. JUST, UM UH UH. AND. KUDOS THROUGH THE YEARS FOR YOUR STAFF, THE NEED ON EVERYBODY FOR VOLUNTEERING. AND BEING OUT THERE TILL GOSH MIDNIGHT, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE EVERYBODY'S SAFE. EVERYBODY'S CLOSED DOWN AND THEN ALSO HAVE TO COME BACK FIRST THING FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S UP AND RUNNING.

JUST SEEING YOU LAST YEAR WITH THE WALKIE TALKIE AND YOU AND AMY JUST GOING CRAZY. I KIND OF FELT BAD THAT YOU GUYS WERE NOT ABLE TO ENJOY IT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL PART OF YOUR DEAL.

UM, BUT I THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO I IF WE'RE GOING TO GO THIS ROUTE, WE'RE GONNA NEED TO START THINKING BIG AND LOOKING LONG TERM AND IF IT MEANS WE NEED A HIGHER UH, SOME SOME ADDITIONAL HELP. UH, TO MAKE THINGS RUN SMOOTH FOR OUR RESIDENTS. AND WHILE WE'RE THERE, UM WE JUST NEED TO KIND OF LOOK AT THOSE OPTIONS, AND WE WERE INFORMED THAT FOR THE WEEKENDS OF BOTH EVENTS, THE HOTELS THAT WE DO HAVE WERE SOLD OUT. UM, BOTH WEEKENDS. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION.

WE DO NEED MORE HOTELS. MAYOR PRO TIP SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT, SO FOR ME UM, WE DON'T OK. ALL RIGHT, JUST MAKING SURE THEY WANNA JUMP IN FRONT OF ANYBODY. UH JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT IS GONNA BE FOR THE CITY. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I REALLY WANT US TO BE COGNIZANT ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE LOOK AT WHAT THE REAL NUMBERS ARE, BRIAN, I DON'T SEE THAT ANYWHERE HERE. WHAT THE REAL ECONOMIC IMPACT FOR THE CITY IS. WHAT ARE WE GENERATING FOR THE CITY IF WE SPEND THESE DOLLARS WE DON'T. THE HONEST ANSWER IS WE DON'T HAVE A REAL GOOD NUMBER FOR YOU ON THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO AN ECONOMIC STUDY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT MIGHT BE, UM, PERVEZ AND I GAVE A LITTLE THOUGHT TO THE SALES TAX. WE THINK IT'S PROBABLY IN THAT 20 TO $30,000 RANGE THAT WE'RE COLLECTING IN SALES TAX. UH, WHICH IS FAR BELOW YOU KNOW THE COST OF THE EVENT, OBVIOUSLY, BUT, UM, THERE IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. OBVIOUSLY THE COMMUNITY REALLY ENJOYS THE EVENTS AND, UH THERE ARE SOME OTHER EVENT, YOU KNOW? REVENUES THAT WE GET FROM HOTELS OR PEOPLE GOING OUT TO EAT AFTERWARDS OR THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, BUT IT'S JUST HARD TO MEASURE THAT COUNCIL MEMBER BUT WE COULD CERTAINLY LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO COMMISSION SOME TYPE OF STUDY TO SEE IF WE COULD CAPTURE THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER FOR YOU TO GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF THAT NUMBER. I THINK THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD REALLY LOOK INTO. I MEAN, WHEN I LOOK AT THE EVENTS GOING ON ON AROUND IN OUR AREA, ESPECIALLY IN AUSTIN, WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT EVENT THEY THE FIRST THING THEY TALK ABOUT IS THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT'S BRINGING IN. THEY'RE GIVING A REAL DOLLAR SIGN TO IT, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, I THINK THE RESIDENTS WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IS SEEING WHAT WE'RE REALLY BRINGING IN AS A CITY. WHAT THE IMPACT IS. WELL I I'M I'M ALL FOR YOU KNOW US DOING THESE EVENTS. I WAS A PART OF SOME OF THE PLANNING FOR TEVA GZA, WHICH WAS ABOUT THREE YEAR.

UH, EVENT IN THE MAKING, SO, YEAH, DEFINITELY. MARIANA CAN ATTEST TO THAT. AND JERRY CAN AS WELL IT DEFINITELY TOOK A LOT OF TIME TO START THIS EVENT. UM AND IT'S A GREAT EVENT, BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THE IMPACTS ARE WHAT WE CAN DO TO GENERATE MORE REVENUE AS WELL. SO THAT WAY. WE'RE NOT PUTTING SO MUCH OUT OF OUR HOT TAX. OR UH, OUR OUR EVENT. UH UH. WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? BUDGET AS WELL. BUT ANYTHING WE NEED TO DO THAT THE OTHER THING IS, WHY ARE WE DOING THE PERIMETER FENCE? WHAT WAS THE NEED FOR THAT? THERE'S A FEW REASONS ONE WITH THE KYLE GATHERINGS THAT IS REQUIRED BY GUINNESS TO HAVE THAT IN PERIMETER. THE OTHER THING IS SAFETY IN GENERAL, WITH OUR TIME AND AID. UM AND THINGS GOING CRAZY AT THIS 0.1 OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS BY, UM THE, UH, STANDARDS GOLD STANDARDS IS THAT WE HAVE PERIMETERS AROUND ALL SPECIAL EVENTS THIS LARGE WITH MORE THAN 2 TO 3000 PEOPLE IS THE MAIN REASON I WAS WONDERING BECAUSE I KNOW LAST YEAR Y'ALL DIDN'T HAVE THE PART OF FENCING AND WHY WE WERE ADDING, BECAUSE IT'S A BIG, UH, BUDGET INCREASE THE OTHER THE OTHER THE ABC. OK SOUNDS GOOD. AND THEN, UH, FINALLY, JUST, UH, WANNA THANK UH ALL OF YOU, UH, BENITO, COME ON UP HERE, MAN. YOU'RE PART OF THIS. COME ON UP HERE. UM I JUST WANNA COME UP AND SAY THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE WORK. Y'ALL DID.

[01:40:01]

UH, IT WAS A GREAT EVENT LAST YEAR. Y'ALL DID A GREAT JOB. I DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE REALLY REALIZE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT Y'ALL PUT INTO THIS. I MEAN, PRIOR TO SET SET UP AND EVERYTHING ELSE, JERRY, YOU'RE A BIG PART OF THIS AS WELL. SO I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION. UH, DEFINITELY SHOWED IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS FOR OUR FIRST YEAR TO SEE IT, UH, IMPLEMENTED AND TO SEE THE RESPONSE WAS REALLY AMAZING AND FELT GOOD.

UNFORTUNATELY I WASN'T ABLE TO BE THERE BECAUSE I HAD COVID, BUT, UH, IT WAS A GREAT UH, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? UH, I GOT I SAW THIS FEEDBACK ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IT'S PRETTY AMAZING, BUT, UM, YEAH, JUST MOVING FORWARD. BRIAN IF WE CAN REALLY LOOK AT SOME NUMBERS, IF IT'D BE GREAT, YOU KNOW, HOT TAX EVERYTHING THAT GOES ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO TRY TO YOU KNOW, LI , UM, MITIGATE SOME OF THAT UPFRONT COST. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MARIANA. I APPRECIATE IT RIGHT? I HAVE I HAVE TWO QUICK THINGS FIRST IS I JUST WANNA CONCUR WITH WHAT COMES FROM PARSLEY AND CUSTOMER, TOBIAS SAID ABOUT HAVING RESERVATIONS ON PIE IN THE SKY.

SO THE VERY FIRST ONE THAT WE DID. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT YEAR IT WAS 1718 17. SO WE HAD 12,000 PEOPLE THERE FOR THE FIRST ONE VERY SUCCESSFUL. ALL THE BALLOONS LAUNCHED. IT WAS KIND OF SHOCK AND ALL IN THE COMMUNITY SEEING IT HAPPEN. EVERYBODY WAS EXCITED ABOUT THE PIE BRAND, MOVING IT FORWARD. THEN THE YEAR AFTER WE HAD TO CANCEL IT THE DAY BEFORE DUE TO WEATHER THE YEAR AFTER THAT, WE HAD TO CANCEL IT DUE TO WEATHER THE YEAR AFTER THAT WAS A PANDEMIC THE YEAR AFTER THAT WAS STILL A PANDEMIC, SO WE'VE IT'S THAT TAUGHT ME THAT PIE IN THE SKY IS EXTREMELY VOLATILE EVENT BECAUSE THE MAIN ATTRACTION IT CAN JUST BE BREEZY, AND IT WON'T WORK. SO FOR THOSE REASONS WHEN IT WENT DOWN OVER COVID, I WAS SENDING OUT STRONG SIGNALS THAT I DIDN'T THINK WE NEEDED TO BRING IT BACK SPECIFICALLY, JUST BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A UNRELIABLE EVENT, AND IT SEEMS LIKE FOLKS ARE KIND OF TURNED OFF BY NOT KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT THE BALLOONS WOULD GO. THAT SAID. WHEN THEY GO, THEY'RE AWESOME. SO THERE'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER . BUT JUST GENERALLY, I'M ON THE SAME CAMP OF NOT WANTING TO PUT TOO MUCH OF AN INVESTMENT INTO AN EVENT THAT CAN POTENTIALLY YOU WON'T KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA ACTUALLY GO UNTIL LITERALLY THE DAY BEFORE OR EVEN MORNING OF KIND OF THING. SO UM AND THEN THE SECOND COMMENT I WANTED TO MAKE IF I HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM LABOR LATER, UH, ABOUT DIRECTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD TO LOOK INTO OUR HOT FUNDS TO COMPARE THEM AND SO ON AND SO FORTH, AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR A HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER. AND THE REASON I WANNA HAVE THAT DISCUSSION LATER HAS TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE ARE USING THE HOT FUND FOR, UM, UH TO FUND OUR EVENTS, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT ALSO RECOGNIZING THAT WE COULD BE USING THOSE DOLLARS TO HELP FUND HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER, SO I WANTED JUST AS SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND THERE. I DON'T WANT US TO GET TO A POINT WHERE WE ARE COMMITTING ALL OF OUR HOT MONEY TO FUND TWO EVENTS WHEN THERE'S SOME REALLY BIG THING THAT WE COULD DO, UH, THAT THAT THAT THOSE DOLLARS MIGHT HELP US WITH. BUT THOSE ARE THOSE ARE MY TWO COMMENTS SO ANYONE ELSE? RIGHT, SO GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE COMMUNITY EVENTS. SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE 49 COMMUNITY EVENTS AND I HAVE ALL THE DATES BUT THEY'RE NOT SHOWING ON THE SCREEN FOR SOME REASON, UM, AND SO WHAT WE WOULD LIKE FOR JUST SOME FEEDBACK TODAY ON THESE EVENTS. UM IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU GUYS WANT US TO ADD? TAKE OUT. I KNOW THERE WAS TALK, MAYBE AN ECLIPSE IT BUT WE REALLY WILL REQUEST IT POSSIBLE FEEDBACK, SO THAT WAY WE HAVE AMPLE TIME TO PLAN THE EVENTS. UM SO WE'RE NOT ADDING AND DELETING AT THE LAST MINUTE OR MONTHS BEFORE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AN EVENT. UM AND THESE ARE JUST AS FAR AS OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS. PLEASE CONTINUE TO KEEP THE DANCE. FOR THE DISABILITIES AGAIN. IT WAS A PACKED HOUSE. SO JUST LIKE LAST YEAR, THEY HAD LIMOUSINES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. IT WAS A BIG TURNOUT. AND ALSO, UH, FOR THE CHRISTMAS DANCE AS WELL. THEY ALL LOOK FORWARD TO EVERYBODY LOOKS FORWARD TO THAT.

SO IF WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE OK? AND BACK TO SCHOOL BASH DANCE MAYOR PRO TEM. OK SO I. I JUST WANT TO ASK, UM THERE WAS ANOTHER LIST HERE A MINUTE AGO IT WENT AWAY. SO I WAS TRYING TO GET A VIEW. SORRY. OK I WANT TO KNOW JUST A LITTLE BIT. I WANNA CUT THIS, BUT I WANT IT A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE FALL FEST, CHILI COOK OFF AND CORN HOLE TOURNAMENT. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE DONE BEFORE? SO LAST YEAR WAS OUR FIRST YEAR AND WE OPENED LEVI PARK. WE HAD OUR FIRST FALL FESTIVAL AND WE DID IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GRAND OPENING OF THE PARK. SO WE'RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR, AND IT'S A FALL THEME FESTIVAL WITH THE CAR HALL TOURNAMENT. CHILI COOK OFF. NICE COOL. I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT, UH, WHEN WE WERE DOING THE, UM SORRY . UH THE FESTIVAL THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, MAYBE DOING A COMPETITION BETWEEN COUNCIL A COOK OFF, AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE THE BEST ONE OR AT OUR TEXT EXTRAVAGANZA, BUT DEFINITELY WOULD CHALLENGE. UH, MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS TO, UH, COOK OFF

[01:45:02]

. IT'D BE GREAT. SO, UH, MAYBE FAJITAS. BUT UH YEAH, DEFINITELY FAJITAS, RIBS AND MARGARITAS THAT'LL WORK, BUT NO, JUST, UH, II. I JUST WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT EVENT. SO THANK YOU. CUSTOMER PARSLEY. COULD YOU GO BACK ONE OF THE SLIDES? SO I AM. I LOVE ALL THE EVENTS I SERIOUSLY DO. I WAS VERY SAD BECAUSE I THINK I MISSED THE DANCE WITH, UM, FOR THE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES LIKE TO BE AS MESSAGE MEANS THAT ARE YOU COMING? I'M LIKE WHERE I TOTALLY MISSED IT. SO I WAS VERY SAD ABOUT THAT. UM THE ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO I. I DON'T WANNA CHANGE ANYTHING ON THE EVENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF FOR THIS SQUEEZE BOX EVENT WE COULD ADD SOME SORT OF DANCES OR MUSIC FROM DIFFERENT HISPANIC COUNTRIES. UM THAT'S A FEEDBACK I GOT FROM SOME RESIDENTS, SO I THINK THAT'S THE ACCORDION. OK SHE'S ALREADY ON IT. AMY SAYS. AWESOME THANK YOU THAT I'M I'M VERY EXCITED. I LOVE ALL THE EVENTS. ANYBODY ELSE? PLEASE BOX MORE DAY. BECAUSE THERE WAS THERE WAS LIKE IT'S. IT HAPPENS DURING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, SO I THINK HAVING LIKE COLOMBIAN DANCES, BRAZILIAN DANCES, STUFF LIKE THAT WILL BE REALLY IN IN MUSIC FROM DIFFERENT HISPANIC COUNTRIES WILL BE REALLY GOOD TOO. OK, COUNCILORS, LET ME GO. MARIANNE I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S GONNA CUT ANY OF THESE COMMUNITY EVENTS UP HERE. SO WE WANT WE WANT IF YOU WANT TO ADD, AND THEN WE WANT TO KNOW NOW WANTED TO CHOP ONE OF THESE OFF IF THERE WAS SOMETHING NO ONE'S GONNA SIT UP HERE AND SAY, CHOP THIS ONE. THAT JUST MEANS Y'ALL ARE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB IN PLANNING THESE EVENTS LIKE MOST OF US, LIKE, DO YOU KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS WANTED TO ADD? JUST THAT WE HAD ENOUGH TIME IF YOU IF YOU COULD KIND OF JUST SHARE IN ADVANCE. OH, THE ROTARY CLUB USED TO DO A, UH TALENT SHOW THE KRUGER ACTIVITY CENTER AND THE VIBE FOR IT WAS REALLY COOL. SO I WAS SAD TO SEE THAT NOT CONTINUING GOT TALENT KIND OF THING. HE'S GOT TALENT. IT'S LITERALLY WHAT IT WAS CALLED. SO YOU MIGHT WANNA CALL THEM OR WE CAN HAVE THAT I WAS SAD TO SEE THAT NOT KEEP GOING BECAUSE IT WAS COOL. YOU SAW AMY AND SHEA HAD PROGRAMMED THEM SOME EVENTS OUT AT LA VERDE PARK, AND IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING THEY COULD DO THAN I DO, BUT JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON SOMETHING THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST IS, UH, SOME COUNCIL REMEMBER, TOBIAS, UH, BROUGHT UP MAYBE DOING A KING AND QUEEN. UH, COURT FOR THE, UH, PARADE. SO MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR OUR FOUNDERS DAY OR WHICHEVER, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA HE BROUGHT UP Y YEARS AGO. MANY, MANY AGO IN THIS SMALL TOWN OF KYLE, WE USED TO HAVE SOMETHING CALLED FAIR ON THE SQUARE. AND WE HAD A PAGEANT FOR KING OF KYLE AND QUEEN OF KYLE.

AND IT WAS THEN IT WENT ON TO, YOU KNOW, MISS MISS KYLE AND THEN MISS TEEN, AND IT WAS A PAGEANT THAT INVOLVED A LOT OF THE LOCAL KIDS AROUND IN SCHOOLS . AND UH, IT WAS LIKE THE TALENT SHOW AND THEN ALSO QUESTIONNAIRE AND THEN ALSO IT WAS A PAGEANT THAT THEY HAD TO WHERE THEY RAISED MONEY ALSO FOR THE CITY AT THE TIME, BUT THEY ALSO SHOWCASED IT AT THE CENTER. AND THE WINNER OF THE PAGEANT WOULD BE A AMBASSADOR FOR THE CITY. SO WHENEVER THEY HAD GRAND OPENINGS OF BUSINESSES OR WHENEVER THEY HAD THESE KIND OF EVENTS, UH, THESE INDIVIDUALS, THESE STUDENTS, THE YOUNG LADIES OR THE TEENAGE BOYS, BECAUSE MY SON WAS ONE OF THEM WOULD BE AT THESE EVENTS AS AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE CITY. YEAH, THEY WOULD ALSO BE PART OF THE PARADES.

THEY'D ALSO BE A RIBBON CUTTINGS AND SO FORTH. AND THEY GOT LIKE, I THINK A $500 SCHOLARSHIP FOR YOU KNOW THAT WINDS TO START THEIR COLLEGE FUND ON THAT, AND THAT WAS LIKE A ONE OF THE PRIZES THEY HAD. SO IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE I THINK WHEN WE ORIGINALLY WHEN RE RIZO AND I BACK IN THE DAY WITH, UH, SAMANTHA AM BREWSTER AND EVERYBODY ELSE AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS FAIR. LIKE YOU SAID. THREE YEARS AGO, IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO MAYBE WE COULD LOOK AT MAYBE LOOKING AT SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BRINGING THAT BACK INTO THE PROGRAM. I THINK IT'D BE PRETTY FUN AND PRETTY NEAT TO GET INTERESTING. SOME OF THE YOUNG LADIES AND ALSO THE TEENAGE BOYS TO PARTICIPATE IN SOMETHING FUN LIKE THAT. HERE'S AN IDEA. IT'S ON. I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE US USE THE PAVILION AND LAWN AT LA VERDE PARK ON A REGULAR BASIS. I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO RECRUIT BANDS TO BE THERE. PROBABLY EVERY WEEKEND DURING THE SUMMER. IF WE WANTED TO LOOK AT DOING THAT WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA, UH RIGHT NOW. OUR PLANS ARE FOURTH OF JULY INCLUDED AFTERNOON LONG CELEBRATION, SO I'LL BE USING, UM, THE STAGE DURING FOURTH OF

[01:50:02]

JULY THIS YEAR AT THE PARK, AND THEN ALSO YOU WANT TO EXPAND ON WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS YOU HAVE? YEAH. SO SHEA HAS NOW INCORPORATED, UM, JAMS ON THE GREEN STORY TIME, SO WE'RE PARTNERING WITH THE LIBRARY TO BRING STORYTIME ON FRIDAYS OR SATURDAYS? UM, SO SHE HAS SOMETHING GOING ON EVERY MONTH, UM, AT LA VERDE ON TOP OF, UM GOOD DAYS, THE PARADES AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS. SO WE HAVE NOW PROGRAM WE HAVE OUR PROGRAM FOR 2024 FOR LOVER DAY PARK. SO WE'RE BRINGING, UH, MUSIC. THE STORYTIME FAMILY NIGHT OUT WILL BE THE NEXT ONE IN OKTOBER. WE HAVE, LIKE A BUIOP LIKE WHERE YOU BRING YOUR OWN PUMPKIN TO CARVE. UM AND WE'LL HAVE PUMPKINS THERE ON SITE, SO WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE MORE FAMILY FRIENDLY. UM EVENTS THERE AT LAVERDE. SO THAT'S THE INTENT. AND THE OTHER THING I DIDN'T SEE IS WOMEN'S DAY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY. ON THE LIST. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S ON THE LIST, BUT IT WILL BE ON MARCH 8TH. OK SO I JUST DIDN'T SEE IT. IT'LL BE AT CENTER STREET ON MARCH 8TH WELL TO ADD TO WHAT CUSTOMERS? HARRIS IS SAYING AS WELL. THE PROGRAMMING FOR HEROES MEMORIAL PARK WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE YOU KNOW, 911 SERVICE MEMORIAL SERVICE LIKE EVERY YOU KNOW WE SHOULD BE DOING THINGS WITH OUR VETERANS GROUPS AND OUR FIRST RESPONDERS GROUPS TO COMMEMORATE TRUTH, YOU KNOW THOSE KIND OF THINGS. NATIONAL POLICE WEEK CELEBRATE CEREMONY. THAT'S A GREAT IDEA ABOUT THAT. IN MAY, NATIONAL POLICE GET WITH THE CHIEF BARNETT ABOUT DOING THIS CEREMONY. I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND ADD THAT TO THE LIST AND GET WITH THE STAFF. I KNOW. LAST YEAR WE DID, UH, FOUR DIFFERENT WEEKS WHERE WE SERVED, UM, THE FIRST RESPONDERS HERE IT WAS EMERGENCY. I PREPARED MEALS BREAKFAST. UM BUT WE'LL WE'LL ADD THAT TO THE LESSON. THANK YOU. ALSO, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME PLAYS OVER AT THE WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? LA VERDE PARK SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE PEOPLE OUT THERE ON THE LAWN BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO GROW OUR ARTS. UH, LOVE TO SEE SOME PLAYS OUT THERE AS WELL. YEAH, OK. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. SO BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM TODAY, THEN UH, WE WILL, UH, GET WITH OUR CITY MANAGEMENT AND LOOK AT THE BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THE KYLE FAIR AND THEN HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION ON HIGH IN THE SKY. I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR FOR THE KYLE FAR THE DIRECTION OF COUNCIL WAS TO PROCEED WITH THAT BUDGET AMENDMENT AND DO ALL THE ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT FOR PIE IN THE SKY IS THE ANSWER. WELL CAN YOU GO BACK TO BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT SHOWS THE NUMBERS REAL QUICK? IT'S I WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR BECAUSE THAT WILL NEED TO BE BROUGHT BACK FOR A FUTURE ACTION. AND THEN WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER EVENTS FOR PARKS AND REC TO DO. GOT THIS. DID YOU? DID YOU NOT HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN BETWEEN PIE IN THE SKY AND C FAR? YEAH. WHERE WAS THE SLIDE THAT HAD THE TWO DAY VERSUS THREE DAY FOR THIS GUY. YEAH, RIGHT THERE. YEAH. SO PIE IN THE SKY. BOTH OPTIONS ARE TWO DAYS BECAUSE OF THE HOT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE HOT AIR BALLOONS. WE CAN ONLY DO IT TO DAY FOR A PRI THE SKY. I'M FINE WITH OPTION ONE OR OPTION NONE. I THINK OPTION ONE WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO. UH, OPTION TWO. JUST UH, EVEN ADDING MORE BALLOONS. IF THE WEATHER'S BAD DOESN'T REALLY HELP, BUT I THINK OPTION ONE IS SOMETHING WE PROBABLY GET BEHIND. CAN WE TABLE THE PIE IN THE SKY? TRY TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THE EVENT. WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME. I DON'T THINK THERE'S REALLY TIME FOR THAT. BUT YEAH, LITTLE TIME, BUT I'M NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED TO GET THE EVENT DETAILS IN PLACE. MARIANA I. I WOULD RATHER GO WITH OPTION ONE OR NOT DO IT AT ALL AND TRY TO REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING ELSE.

ON THE FLY, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE THERE'S NO TIME BUT I DON'T WANT TO JUST WHAT WASTE MONEY ON AN EVENT THAT LIKE ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE EVENT. IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR CONTROL.

SO COULD WE HAVE A SUCCESSFUL EVENT WITHOUT ADVERTISING THE BALLOONS? SO JUST GOING WITH OPTION 11 OF THE THINGS I'D LIKE US TO REVISIT NEXT YEAR. IF WE DO GO AHEAD WITH OPTION ONE IS THE DATES. SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE'RE I THINK THAT PIE IN THE SKY IS NOT BEING SUCCESSFUL, AS IT COULD BE IS BECAUSE OF THE DATES WE HAVE. WE'RE COMPETING WITH TOO MANY THINGS AROUND US, SO I DEFINITELY WOULD LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON DURING THAT WEEKEND WHAT WE'RE COMPETING WITH, BUT I REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE THERE WAS SO MUCH GOING ON AROUND US. WE DIDN'T GET THE NUMBERS WE WANTED THERE. UH, WHEN YOU'RE PLAN EVENT. YOU ALWAYS LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING AROUND YOU IN THE REGION BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE COMPETING AGAINST SOMEBODY. I THINK THAT'S WHY TEXAS TO AHAN DID SO WELL, IT WAS A COMPETING AGAINST NO ONE AND WE GOT GREAT NUMBERS. I THINK THIS COULD BE A VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT AS WELL. IF WE PICK THE RIGHT DATE. UH, I JUST WORRY ABOUT THE DATE RIGHT NOW. SO WE DID DO A RESEARCH WITH ALL

[01:55:01]

OF OUR EVENTS. WE ALWAYS DO OUR RESEARCH. UM AND ALSO HISTORICALLY, THOUGH, PIE IN THE SKY WAS SET TO TAKE PLACE ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, AND SO WE DID DISCUSS, POSSIBLY CHANGING THE DATE. I MEAN, BASED ON THE RESEARCH THAT YOU KNOW OUR OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER JERRY AND ITS FORMER STAFF HAVE COMPLETED THAT WAS THE DAY THAT PIE IN THE SKY WAS GOING TO BE, AND THEN THEY ALSO LOOKED AT WEATHER PATTERNS AND THROUGHOUT THE TIME OF THE YEAR AND THAT BASED OFF WEATHER PATTERNS WAS THE MOST RECOMMENDED TIME OF THE YEAR AS WELL. BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT DATES AND THE WEATHER THAT WE'VE DEFINITELY JUST HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT. THANK YOU, MARIAN. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT PIE IN THE SKY? BECAUSE WE'RE NOT LIKE THE EXPERTS. I MEAN, NOT THAT NOBODY IS AN EXPERT IN HERE AND FIND THE SKY, BUT THEY KNOW BETTER. I HAVE A QUESTION DOES DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN OUR HIGH CAPITAL OF TEXAS. STATUS EXPIRES TWO YEARS IN TWO YEARS. I BELIEVE SO 2 TO 3 YEARS, I THINK IT'S TWO YEARS FOR FIVE YEARS. OK? WE LOOK INTO THAT, JUST LIKE SO I DON'T THINK THOSE THAT KIND OF A LONG TERM BRANDING INITIATIVE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU NECESSARILY TAKE A VOTE TO ELIMINATE, BECAUSE, UM, WELL MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO MAYBE START TO TAKE STEPS. IN THAT DIRECTION, AND THE BIGGEST STEP IS TO GET RID OF THE YOU KNOW, PIE THEMED FESTIVAL. IT'S EXTREMELY UNPREDICTABLE. AS A AS A STEP SO I FELT FOR A WHILE THAT THAT'S THE APPROPRIATE WAY FOR US TO GO TO START TO PHASE OUT OF THAT, WHILE WE, UH, CONTINUE TO GRASP FOR NEW MARKERS OF OUR IDENTITY. AND. I DIDN'T I YEAH. I MEAN, SOME OF THE STAFF THAT WAS HERE KNOWS I ARGUED AGAINST CONTINUING ON WITH IT. BUT COUNCIL ULTIMATELY DECIDED TO LIMP IT ALONG FOR LACK OF A AN APPROPRIATE TERM THERE, BUT THAT'S SORT OF THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT PIE IN THE SKY.

I THINK IT'S UH IT WAS ONCE AN IMPORTANT PART OF A BRANDING INITIATIVE. UH, THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL FOR US, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I'M NOT SURE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR US TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE. THAT THAT BRAND AND OR THIS FESTIVAL THAT'S VOLATILE. SO JUST TO BE CLEAR. I'M ON THE SIDE OF NOT DOING THAT NOW, ESPECIALLY THAT WE HAVE THE TEXT EXTRAVAGANZA, WHICH IS A COMPARABLE PROGRAM, BUT THAT SEEMS TO HAVE REALLY GOOD LEGS, AND NOT SOME OF THAT WEATHER RELATED LIABILITY. I SAY. LET'S JUST PUT OUR RESOURCES TOWARDS THAT AND THEN RE ENVISION A NEW FALL BASED FESTIVAL. MAYBE FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR. I GUESS THE ANSWER COUNCIL MEMBER PARSLEY'S QUESTION ABOUT HOW WE FEEL RIGHT . LIKE WE LOVE EVENTS LIKE WE LOVE CHANGING LIVES AND SERVING THE COMMUNITY. OK UM, HOWEVER, PIE IN THE SKY FALLS IN A VERY, VERY HOT TIME OF THE YEAR. IT IS BRUTALLY HOT OUT THERE AND IT IS VERY WEATHER DEPENDENT, RIGHT? UM BUT IT'S AN INCREDIBLE EVENT. IT'S AN AMAZING EVENT. LIKE WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE IN THOSE BALLOONS GO UP. IT IS MAGICAL, RIGHT? AND YOU'RE SHOWING HOW AIR BALLOONS TO POPULATION THAT MIGHT SEE THAT EVER LIKE IT WAS AMAZING. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. UM SO WE LOVE THE EVENT, BUT IT IS VERY, VERY HARD TO DO 23 DAY EVENTS AND TO DO ONE IN THE BRITTLE, MOST PART OF THE TIME OF THE YEAR. UM BUT WHATEVER DIRECTION WE'RE GIVEN, BUT I WE LOVE THE EVENT. IT'S JUST A HOT TIME OF THE YEAR AND THE HOT AIR BALLOONS ARE RATHER TO PASS. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND FOR US TO PUT RESOURCES AND THOUGHT INTO MAYBE DOING ANOTHER BIG EVENT LATER DURING THE YEAR. NOT THIS YEAR. SO IF THAT BECAUSE I DIDN'T GO BEHIND THIS GUYS BECAUSE IT WAS SO HOT. I DON'T GET OUT OF MY HOUSE IF IT'S 95 ON A BOAT, SO YEAH, CUTS WERE HAIRS. YEAH IF WE DO REPLACE PIE IN THE SKY WITH ANOTHER EVENT. CERTAINLY THERE ARE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR AREA TO, UM HAVE WINE AND, UH FOOD AND ART FESTIVALS. THAT WERE LACKING IN THIS AREA IN THAT. SO WE COULD HAVE HUGE CROWDS. THOSE AS WELL, I. I MET THE AGREEMENT ON ON WHAT IT IS. I'VE ONLY BEEN ONE TIME OUT OF THE HOLE. YOU CANCEL ALL THAT, AND IT IS HOT AND SO FORTH. UM I AGAIN I HAVEN'T BEEN SOLD ON IT FOR A WHILE. IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A GREAT FESTIVAL. IT'S JUST A AGAIN.

WE'RE MARKETING ONE BUSINESS. IT'S IN ONCE, LET'S SAY YEARS FROM NOW, LIKE PAPER BEAR ONCE THAT EVENTUALLY, UH, RISE OFF IN THE SUNSET. WHERE'S OUR MARKETING BRAND FOR THE CITY? UM, BUT THAT BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PIE THING ITSELF. SO UH, WITH A HEAVY HEART. UH, I GUESS IF WE WERE HERE TO MAKE MOTIONS ON THIS AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, UM I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO DISCONTINUE. UH THIS YEAR'S, UH, PIE IN THE SKY FESTIVAL IN I'LL REALLOCATE THE FUNDS FOR ANOTHER EVENT OR WE NEED THE ATTITUDE. THE TEXT EXTRAVAGANZA FOR A NEW BEGINNING . SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILOR

[02:00:03]

TOBIAS SECONDED BY COUNCILOR PARTIALLY THAT WOULD MOVE ON FROM PIE IN THE SKY, AND WE USE THOSE RESOURCES TO BUILD OUR EVENTS PROGRAM IN OTHER WAYS. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION COUNCILOR HEER? YES UH, ONE OF OUR WONDERFUL RESIDENTS JUST INFORMED ME THAT THE PIE MONIKER GOES THROUGH THE YEAR 2031. IT'S THAT'S NOT WHAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS, RIGHT. I JUST I JUST SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY I ALL THE POST. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 1. RIGHT? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. YOU GOT THE DIRECTION YOU NEED.

[VII. Consent Agenda]

YES, SIR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS THE IS THE CONSENT AGENDA. 10 THROUGH 15 TO SEE ANYBODY HAVE ANY ITEMS THEY WANT TO PULL OR QUESTIONS ON THESE ITEMS. QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD TO MARIANO. MARIANO YOU'RE BACK. YOU'RE BACK MARIANO FROM OUTER SPACE. HELLO JUST A QUICK QUESTION ON THE, UM, RESTROOM ALONG THE TRAILS. UH, IT DOES NOT HAVE A WATER FOUNTAIN. SO I.

I HAVE KYLE ERWIN, WHO IS JOINING US ONLINE. HE'S WITH GREEN FLASH RESTAURANT TECHNOLOGIES. UM, AND ALSO BENITO PEREIRA, WHO IS OUR DIVISION MANAGER WHO CAN REALLY GO INTO THE SPECIFICS OF THAT RESTROOM. MR. KYLE, ARE YOU STILL THERE? I'M HERE. THE QUESTION AGAIN. COUNCIL MEMBER DOES THIS OPTION NOT INCLUDE A WATER FOUNTAIN FEATURE, UM, OUTSIDE FOR PEOPLE. WALKING ALONG INCLUDES A DUAL LEVEL DRINKING FOUNTAIN WITH A WATER BOTTLE FILLER. OK I DIDN'T SEE IT. I DID NOT SEE IT IN THE IN THE SCHEMATIC SO WASN'T SURE IF WE'RE BUYING ONLY A RESTROOM THERE. YEAH, SORRY. IT'S NOT INCLUDED ON THE SAMPLE PHOTO. SO THERE'S A THERE'S A SAMPLE PHOTO. THAT IS, UH, MISSING THINGS THAT YOU'LL BE GETTING WITH THIS RESTROOM. BUT THE TRAINING FOUNTAIN AND DUAL, UH, DUAL LEVEL DREAM FOUNTAIN WATER BOTTLE FILLER IS SHOWN ON THE FLOOR PLAN. OK THANK YOU. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I WANT. HE WAS READY TO GO. UH MAYOR PRO? YEAH. ARE THESE, UH, AIR CONDITIONED? NO UM, THEY COULD BE AFTER THE FACT . SO IF YOU WANTED TO HAVE A, UH , A CONTRACTOR GOING IN THERE AND ADD AIR CONDITIONING, THEN YOU COULD, BUT IT'S NOT INCLUDED . OK SO WHAT? WHAT'S WHAT'S THE R FACTOR ON THE ROOF? FACTOR.

UM, I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK IT UP. QUICK HERE, BUT IT'S TYPICALLY AROUND. UH, AN R 30. SEE HERE AND THE REASON I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE THOSE BATHROOMS USUALLY PEOPLE DON'T WANNA GO IN THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE BERNIE. THEY'RE THEY'RE LIKE SAUNAS. SO I'M JUST MAKING SURE WE HAVE GOOD VENTILATION. WE'VE GOT A GOOD R FACTOR ON THE ROOF. OR IF WE NEED TO GO BACK AS A CITY AND ADD MAYBE SOME FORM INSULATION AT THE BOTTOM OR SOMETHING JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PEOPLE AREN'T BURNING UP IN THERE. IT'S AN R 22 ON THE ROOF AND THEN OUR 15. I BELIEVE ON THE WALLS AND YOU DO HAVE EXCELLENT VENTILATION. YOU HAVE AN ENERGY RECOVERY VENTILATION SYSTEM. SO THE AIR INSIDE. UH AS THE EXCHANGE OF OUTSIDE AIR ACTUALLY MAINTAINS THE TEMPERATURE, SO IF IT'S COOL AIR, THEN IT MAINTAINS THE COOLNESS OF THE AIR ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE 70% OF THAT TEMPERATURE AS IT IS EXCHANGED WITH OUTSIDE AIR. HOW ABOUT WHEN IT'S HOT? BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE REALLY STILL DAYS, SOME DURING THE SUMMER, AND THIS PAST SUMMER, WE EXPERIENCED, UH, RECORD AMOUNT OF HU 110 DAYS, JUST MAKING SURE THAT IT'S COMFORTABLE IN THERE. YEAH, SO IF IT'S IF IT'S COOL AIR INSIDE THEN IT'LL MAINTAIN ABOUT 70% OF THAT COOLNESS AS IT EXCHANGED WITH THE HOT AIR OUTSIDE. BUT IF YOU ARE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT THAT YOU ADD LATER TO THE BUILDING THEN IT'S STILL GONNA IT'S NOT GONNA BE 100 AND 10 DEGREES INSIDE THE BUILDING, BUT IT UH IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT COOLER BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT THAT COOLNESS OF THE ENERGY. UH, COOLNESS OF THE TEMPERATURE FROM THE MORNING. THAT IS STILL THERE. UH, A LITTLE BIT OF THAT COOLNESS LATER ON IN THE DAY. HOW LONG DOES THAT LAST YOU DO YOU UNDER? DO YOU KNOW? I DO NOT KNOW. I MEAN, I. I THINK IF THAT'S A PRIORITY WITH KEEPING IT COOL IN THERE, THEN IT IS ADDING AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AFTER THE INSTALLATION. YEAH I THINK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE TOP PRIORITY WHEN THEY WERE DESIGNING THIS. UH, ONE REASON IS THAT WHEN I VISITED A LOT OF, UH DIFFERENT PARKS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE ALWAYS NOTICED, IS THAT THE BATHROOMS UH, THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY HOT. NOBODY WANTS TO USE THEM. IT'S JUST, UH THEY GO. THEY DRIVE A LITTLE FURTHER AND GO TO ANOTHER BATHROOM SO SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED WHEN WE WERE DESIGNING THESE SO I DEFINITELY WOULD LOOK AT MAYBE A VENTILATION SYSTEM OR SOMETHING TEMPORARILY, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT 100 AND

[02:05:01]

SOME DEGREES IN THAT THAT I THINK ONE THING ALSO COULD PROBABLY ADDRESS THERE IS NOT ANY POWER SOURCE OUT THERE ON THE PLUM CREEK TRAIL. AND DID YOU WANNA EXPAND ON THAT WAS THAT IT WAS JUST ALL SOLAR AND THAT HE WAS JUST MENTIONING. THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE'VE GOT SOLAR OPTIONS NOW AS WELL, SO MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT WE COULD EXPLORE. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS ABOUT OTHER ITEMS IS THE FULL PRICE FOR THE WHOLE INSTALLATION. OF THE PORTABLE. YES, THAT'S CORRECT, BUT BY TOTAL PRICE THAT IS ON THE AGENDA IS THE TOTAL PRICE FOR THE INSTALLATION IN THE BUILDING. OK? THAT WAS THAT WAS THE ONLY QUESTIONS I HAD ALL RIGHT MOTIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA 10 TO 15. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILOR PARSLEY SECONDED BY COUNCILOR HARRIS THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED AS THEIR DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION. ALSO FAVORITE, SAY I A ALL THE POST. ALL RIGHT.

OUR NEXT STEP IS JIN ADAMS 17 CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A TASK ORDER NUMBER TWO TO KC. I TECHNOLOGIES IN AN AMOUNT OF $110,450 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN FOR THE CITY, MR WILDER.

MAYOR COUNCIL PUBLIC WORKS, HARPER WILDER. JUST SOME BACKGROUND. UM THIS ITEM WAS

[02:10:06]

PLACED ON THE COUNCIL GENERAL TO DIRECT CITY MANAGER AND STAFF TO WORK ON THE SIDEWALK PRIORITY PLAN. COUNCIL DIRECTED THE CITY MANAGER OF STAFF TO INVENTORY THE SIDEWALK NETWORK DETERMINE THE CONDITION OF THE EXISTING NETWORK DEVELOP A RANKING SYSTEM FOR PRIORITIZING SIDEWALK REPAIRS AND FOR CONSTRUCTING NEW SECTIONS OF SIDEWALKS. CONNECTIVITY OF THE SIDEWALK NETWORK. AND SAME BACKGROUND ORDINANCE NUMBER 957 APPROVED IN 1964 REQUIRES PROPERTY OWNERS TO MAINTAIN THE SIDEWALK ADJACENT TO THEIR PROPERTY IN GOOD CONDITION. IN 2017. THERE WAS AN AMENDMENT DUE TO THE, UH YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A, UM NEW DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED TO PLANT TREES NEAR THE SIDEWALKS, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE SIDEWALKS, WHICH DID DAMAGE THE SIDEWALKS. AND SO THERE'S AN AMENDMENT THAT WAS DONE. UM IT ELECTED TO FACILITATE SIDEWALK REPAIRS BY THE CITY. AND THEN TO ADDRESS THE POOR CONDITION OF THE CITY SIDEWALKS. UM COUNCIL ORDERED A CONTRACT TO POLY LEVEL WHICH ACTUALLY RAISED THE SIDEWALKS. IT DIDN'T BUST THEM UP AND REPAIR THEM. IT JUST LIFTED THEM UP. SO THE THOUGHT WAS. WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO GO IN THERE AND TEAR ALL THESE SIDEWALKS OUT. WE'LL JUST RAISE THEM UP. AND THIS WENT ON FOR A SHORT BIT. AND THEN THERE WERE SOME ISSUES, UM, INVOLVING THE WORKERS AND THE CONTRACTED WORKERS. AND IT WAS, UM GIVEN BACK TO PUBLIC WORKS COUNCIL REQUESTED THAT PUBLIC WORKS RESUME THE RESPONSIBILITY IN WHICH WE DID SINCE THAT TIME. UH, THE BACKLOG THAT WE HAD AT THAT TIME HAS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. NOW THE SIDEWALKS ARE A CONSTANT THING. THEY'RE THERE'S NEW ONES INVOLVING REGULARLY, SO WE ALWAYS HAVE AN ONGOING LIST. JUST SO Y'ALL KNOW. AND FEBRUARY 7TH OF 2023 COUNCIL APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH KC ILOG. THIS IS FOR THE PAVEMENT ASSESSMENT THAT Y'ALL JUST HEARD ME TALK ABOUT EARLIER . UM SIDEWALKS WERE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT WAS IN THAT PCI EXERCISE. UM, BUT IT WAS NOT A MASTER SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN, WHICH THAT MASTER PLAN WOULD DETERMINE A COMPREHENSIVE CONDITION OF THE EXISTING NETWORK DEVELOP A RANKING SYSTEM FOR PRIORITIZING CW REPAIRS AND FOR CONSTRUCTING NEW SECTIONS OF SIDEWALKS FOR CONNECTIVITY OF THE SIDEWALK NETWORK, DEVELOP A BUDGET TO PERFORM REPAIRS AND PROACTIVE WORK TO IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY. SEE THERE'S 6800 LINEAR FEET OF SIDEWALK SEGMENTS WERE INSTALLED AND OR REPAIRED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS BY OUR OWN INTERNAL IN-HOUSE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. I'M REQUEST FOR REPAIRS ARE ADDRESSED AND GENERALLY RESOLVED WITHIN TWO WEEKS. THE FIRST PICTURE ON YOUR LEFT IS NEXT TO KYLE ELEMENTARY. AND THAT, UH, COMES TO BURLESON, WHERE PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS NO SIDEWALK THERE THAT THESE KIDS HAD TO WALK DOWN TO GET TO BURLESON. THE SECOND PHOTO IS ON, UH, COLTER'S CROSSING. THAT'S THE ONE WHERE THE PLUM CREEK PHASE TWO RE. SO WE'RE MOVING IN OVER THERE. UM, EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THE KIDS NOT HAVING A SAFE ROUTE TO THE HAYES HIGH SCHOOL, OR BARTON MIDDLE SCHOOL, CALLED PUBLIC WORKS BUILT THAT UH, SO I'D WALKED US THERE TODAY. THIRD PICTURE IS JUST AT THE SAME ONE AS THE FIRST ONE, JUST THE GROUP OF THE GUYS THAT PUT THAT IN OVER THERE. OK CARL SIDEWALK NETWORK 240 MILES 96 ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. 39 MILES OF STREETS IN THE CITY HAVE NO SIDEWALKS. SO UH, THAT'S A LOT OF MILES OF STREETS WITH NO SIDEWALKS. NOT ALL STREETS HAVE SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREETS, EITHER. AND NOT ALL SIDEWALKS MEET AD A REGULATIONS. IT'S ESTIMATED THE SIDEWALK NETWORK CAN INCREASE UP TO 600 MILES WITH FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. AND LET ME JUST SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE. I'M GONNA BACK UP ONE SIDE REAL FAST. IF YOU SEE THAT ONE WHERE THE KIDS ARE WALKING FROM K ELEMENTARY, AND THEY COME DOWN TO BURLESON. IF YOU CROSS BURLESON IF THOSE KIDS WANNA GO ACROSS BURLESON, UM TO THE HOUSES ON THE OTHER SIDE, UH, THERE'S NO PLACE FOR THEM TO WALK. THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS, SO THEY'RE FORCED TO WALK IN THE ROADWAY OR ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. VIBE NETWORK. UM. CONSIDER CRITICAL TO PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY 84 TOTAL MILES. UM, A MAJORITY OF THESE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED BY DEVELOPMENT. 20 MILES ARE OUR RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY. ALL THE 2022 ROAD. MINE PROJECTS INCLUDE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VIBE . AS OF 2023 8 MILES HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED. UM ENGAGE CASEY. I TECHNOLOGIES TO BUILD ON INFORMATION GATHERED IN THE PC. I AND DEVELOP A SIDEWALK MASTER

[02:15:04]

PLAN. UM KC I SINCE THEY ALREADY DID THE, UH PAYMENT ASSESSMENT FOR US, UM JUST SEEING LIKE THE LOGICAL ONES. THEY ARE ALREADY AWARE OF EVERY STREET WE HAVE, UM, THEY'RE THE ONE THAT JUST DID. THE JUST RECENTLY DID THE ASSESSMENT FOR US. SO THAT'S WHY CASEY I WAS CHOSEN TO HOPEFULLY DO THIS SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN. EVALUATES THE EXISTING NETWORKS FOR GAPS AND CONNECTIVITY. QUEEN SIDE WALKING BY SE SEGMENTS. UM MANY EXAMPLES OF THAT THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT WE HAVE GAPS IN THE IN THE VIBE IN THE SIDEWALK SIDEWALK RIGHT HERE ON UH, VETERANS DRIVE. IF YOU LOOK, YOU CAN GO ALL THE WAY FROM CENTER STREET ALL THE WAY UP VETERANS DRIVE UNTIL YOU GET TO SILVERADO. AND THEN THERE'S A GAP THERE. UH, ONCE YOU GET PAST THAT GAP, YOU CAN GO AND CONTINUE ON THE SIDEWALK ALL THE WAY TO, UM 2770 TURN RIGHT AND GO ALL THE WAY TO COLTER'S. BUT THOSE GAPS THAT ARE, UH, THAT ARE EE EXISTING THROUGHOUT THE CITY RIGHT NOW IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT TRYING TO GET TO FILL IN. UM PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR BUDGETING NECESSARY FUNDS TO MAINTAIN THE EXISTING OR PROPOSED NEW SEGMENTS OF SIDEWALKS PROVIDES PRIORITY LISTING OF THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SIDEWALK SEGMENTS, AND MAIN AND REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS UTILIZES MAPPING TOOLS TO DISPLAY THE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. OPTION ONE COUNCIL APPROVES TASK ORDER NUMBER TWO TO CASEY I TECHNOLOGIES IN AN AMOUNT OF 110,450 AUTHORIZES THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE TASK ORDER NUMBER TWO. UM YOU CAN SEE OPTION TWO DOES NOT APPROVE THE EXECUTION OF THE TASK ORDER NUMBER 23 COUNCIL PROVIDES NEW DIRECTION. OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE. PASS ORDER NUMBER TWO. TO KC I FOR 100 AND 10 4 50 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN. IT. ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? CUSTOMER, TOBIAS, UH, I GUESS FOR ME. I WAS MAYBE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS ALL IN HOUSE. UM, YOU KNOW, UH, I THINK WE WERE GONNA I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA IDENTIFY ALREADY SPECIFIC SIDEWALKS. I KNOW. I JUST THIS WEEK. I SENT, UH AM AND EMAIL OF SPECIFIC SIDEWALKS. THEY WERE NOT COMPLETED YET. SO WITH THIS COMPANY, ARE THEY GOING TO IF WE THIS GOES THROUGH AND GETS APPROVED? SO ARE THEY JUST GONNA LOOK AT THE ENTIRE CITY ITSELF? AND THEN KIND OF GO WITH WHAT? UH, MR BAUER BROUGHT FORWARD SPECIFIC ROADS THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED OR THEY'RE GONNA GO AND LOOK AT OUR CITY AND SEE WHAT SIDEWALKS THE WIDTH THEY NEED TO BE OR SOME OF THEM. THAT NEED TO BE UP TO DATE WITH AD A COMPLIANCE BECAUSE I KNOW RIGHT HERE IN FRONT IN CITY HALL AND ALL THESE ROADS, THESE STREETS.

UH, YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A WHEELCHAIR THROUGH SO I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. SO WITH THIS COMPANY BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY ALL THESE THINGS. I'M GONNA BRING HIM UP IN ONE SECOND, BUT II. I JUST WANNA SAY SO. THERE'S THINGS WITH THE SIDEWALKS LIKE THAT. I JUST MENTIONED THERE ON BURSON WITH THOSE KIDS GOING ACROSS, SO WE COULD SAY, HEY, WE NEED THIS SIDEWALK ON THE EAST SIDE OF BURLESON DOWN HERE TO FRONT. OK, AND, UH EVERYBODY KNOWS. YES WE NEED A SIDEWALK THERE. THE PROBLEM IS, THERE IS, UH, OPEN DITCH. ALONG THE ROADWAY ON BOTH SIDES. SO, WITH THAT OPEN DITCH, YOU CAN'T PUT A SIDEWALK IN THERE. SO NOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT, OK. ARE WE GONNA ARE WE GONNA CURB AND GUTTER IF YOU'RE GONNA CURB AND GUTTER TO CONTROL THE, UH, THE RAINWATER THEN WE GOTTA LOOK AT STORM DRAINAGE, INLET BOXES. ALL THIS YOUR COST JUST WENT UP. IF YOU'RE GONNA DO ALL THAT AND TEAR THAT UP, OK? IS THERE OLD SEWER LINES BECAUSE THERE'S OLD CLAY SEWER LINES IN THAT ENTIRE AREA. ALSO YOU'RE GONNA TEAR IT ALL UP. DO I CHANGE OUT THOSE CLAY SEWER LINES WHILE I'M THERE? DO I CHANGE OUT THE, UH YOU KNOW THE WATER LINES. THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOREVER IN THIS OLDER TOWN AREA, SO THAT'S SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER. I CAN SAY WE NEED A SIDEWALK THERE. HOPEFULLY THESE GENTLEMEN WILL GIVE US A MORE IN DEPTH. IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS. YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS. THIS THIS THIS THIS EVERYTHING KIND OF SEEMS TO DOMINO IN CERTAIN ASPECTS WHEN LOOKING IN CERTAIN AREAS HERE, THAT'S TRUE. AND THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ZUNICA BROUGHT UP LAST YEAR WHEN HE WAS SAYING, WHY CAN'T WE JUST GET SIDEWALKS IN THESE OLD NEIGHBORHOODS? RIGHT BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. SOME OF THESE HAVE EASEMENT. SOME OF THESE ARE ALSO PRIVATE PROPERTY. SOME OF THESE MAY HAVE DRAINAGE ISSUES IN IN THE STREETS ARE SO NARROW. YOU CAN'T REALLY GET A SIDEWALK ON THEM. UM AND SO THOSE THOSE MAKE YOU MAKE GOOD PERFECT POINTS RIGHT THERE AS FAR AS WHAT THEY WOULD HELP DO IF THAT'S THAT'S THE CASE. IS THAT CORRECT, SIR? IT JUST SO WE HAVE OUR OUR RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND? YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE A LARGE CONTRACT IN IN TO SEE

[02:20:06]

WHAT WHAT THE DOLLARS WOULD GO TOWARDS AND WHAT KIND OF WORK WOULD YOU BE DOING? YES, SIR.

UH, THANK YOU. MY NAME IS WILL HAGER. I'M WITH KC. I TECHNOLOGIES. UH, PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT, UH, TO SPEAK TO YOUR QUESTION BEYOND JUST LOOKING AT YOUR EXISTING NETWORK AND WHERE THOSE GAPS MIGHT BE. WE'RE HOPING OR PROPOSING TO TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PUBLIC INPUT TO HELP YOU IDENTIFY THOSE ORIGINS AND DESTINATIONS FOR THOSE PEDESTRIAN TRIPS. HOPEFULLY THIS ENTIRE EFFORT IS GONNA LEAD YOU TO A MORE STRATEGIC APPROACH TO YOU FILLING THOSE GAPS BECAUSE IT IS A LARGE NETWORK. IT'S A GROWING NETWORK. UM SO IT'S GONNA BE A CHALLENGE TO FILL ALL THOSE GAPS, BUT WE WANT TO DO IS GIVE YOU A STRATEGIC RESPONSIBLE WAY TO HIT THOSE HIGH PRIORITY CORRIDORS AND CLOSE THOSE GAPS AS BEST YOU CAN GOING FORWARD AND GIVE YOU A MORE OF A ROAD MAP OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS TO COMPLETE THOSE THOSE MISSING LINKS IN YOUR NETWORK. OK, IT SOUNDS THAT SOUNDS KIND OF EXACTLY WHAT MISTER BARBER BRINGING FORWARD IDENTIFYING SPECIFIC ROADS VERSUS MICROSOFT VERSUS SIDEWALKS THAT COULD BE EITHER NEEDING REPAIR. OR SOME THAT JUST NEED TO BE COMPLETED LIKE SOME OF THE ONES OVER THERE IN DISTRICT SIX THAT I WAS MENTIONING EARLIER, UH VERSUS ONES THAT JUST NEED TO BE BRAND NEW AND SEEING HOW WE CAN GO BACK THERE. OK? THANK YOU, SIR. MOTIONS. WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO GO AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 17 ALL RIGHT MOTION BY COUNCILOR TOBIAS SECONDED BY THE MAYOR PRO TEM THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 17. SO DISCUSSION ON MOTION. MAY YEAH.

I'M REALLY GLAD THAT WE'RE BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND ONE REASON WHY IS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF NEED FOR SIDEWALKS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO BE COGNIZANT THAT IS WHEN YOU ADD SIDEWALKS SOMETIMES THAT DISRUPTS, UH, BUS SCHEDULES BECAUSE OF WHAT THE STATE HAS IMPLEMENTED, MAKING SURE THAT WE , UH, NOTIFY AND GET THAT INFORMATION OUT TO PEOPLE.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE, BUT THEY DON'T REALIZE WHEN YOU MAKE THAT CONNECTIVITY, THEN YOU'RE GONNA JUST, UH THERE'S BUS SCHEDULES THAT NO LONGER GONNA RUN IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE YOU HAVE THOSE SIDEWALKS, SO MAKING SURE WE GET ALL THAT INFORMATION OUT.

LET THEM KNOW THAT THAT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY. BUT UH, JUST FINISHING UP ONE OF THE PLACES I'VE IDENTIFIED, UH, JUST PERSONALLY IS ON STAGE COACH STATE COACH CROSSING OVER TO CENTER STREET BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE KIDS ARE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. GO OVER TO WALLACE. MIDDLE SCHOOL. UH, THEY'RE WALKING THROUGH THE GRASS, SO JUST I WANTED TO DO THIS A SHOT THERE IN DISTRICT TWO. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE WE GET ALL THE INFORMATION OUT THERE BECAUSE, UH, A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS I TALKED TO WHEN THEY WANT TO SIDEWALK, AND I TELL THEM THAT NOW THE CONNECTIVITY WILL, UH WILL, UH, STOP THEIR BUS, UH, GOING THROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY'RE NOT IN FAVOR OF THE SIDEWALK, SO MAKING SURE WE GET ALL THAT INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC. THAT IS TRUE AND. BECAUSE THEY YEAH, FOR SURE. THANK YOU. DOING TO GO. NO THANK YOU, HARPER FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD AS WELL. UM UM, UM I THINK AC I IS A LOGICAL CHOICE SINCE THEY ARE EVALUATING THE CONDITION OF THE ROADS MIGHT AS WELL LOOK AT THE SIDEWALKS THERE AND THEY KIND OF GO HAND IN HAND WHERE YOU HAVE A BAD ROAD YOU COULD HAVE. NO SIDEWALKS OR OR BAD SIDEWALKS, SO I THINK IT'S JUST, UH THE MORE INFORMATION THE MORE DATA WE CAN GET, THE BETTER. WE CAN LOOK AT THE BUDGET SEASON AND HIT THE PRIORITY. LIKE YOU JUST MENTIONED THE ONES NEAR THOSE SCHOOLS, WHICH I DON'T THINK THEY LOST THEIR BUS SERVICE. BUT YOU KNOW WHERE WHERE THE NEEDS ARE FOR THAT WALK ABILITY. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR CASEY.

BUT I. I THINK THAT THEY COULD IDENTIFY THE SCHOOLS IN OUR YOU KNOW, IN IN IN OUR AREA, AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE THAT RADIUS THAT TWO MILE RADIUS AND JUST KIND OF POINT THAT OUT ON ONE OF THEIR ONE OF THEIR SLIDES THAT IMPACT AND IT'S JUST A SAFETY SAFETY ISSUE THAT SOMEONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO WALK DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT BY A VEHICLE, SO IT'S JUST IT IMPROVES SAFETY AND WALK. GLAD TO SEE THIS CUSTOMER HEER. THANK YOU. UH, HARPER. ARE YOU PLANNING TO LOOP IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AT ALL ON THE SIDEWALK, AND IT'S THE SIDEWALKS THAT WOULD BE DONE NEAR SCHOOLS. UM I CANCER. YOU KNOW IF WE NEED TO. WE NEED TO COORDINATE WITH THEM, ESPECIALLY IF WELL, LET ME LET ME REPHRASE THAT. IF THESE SIDEWALKS ARE IDENTIFIED AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUILT AROUND THE SCHOOLS AND WITH THAT TWO MILE RADIUS, THEN YES, I WOULD PROBABLY GET WITH JERRY SHROCK FIRST. YOU KNOW WHO'S THE SAFETY COORDINATOR AND I DEAL WITH HER REGULARLY. AND SEE HOW SHE WOULD WANT TO APPROACH THAT. YEAH JUST SO WE CAN LINK BETTER UNDERSTAND WALKING PATTERNS FROM KIDS TO AND FROM SCHOOL, SO WE KNOW WHERE THE BEST MAYBE IT WOULD HELP PRIORITIZE. UM IF. YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THAT. THAT'S ALL. SO JUST KEEPING EVERYBODY AWARE IS THAT THAT'S A STATE MANDATE. IT'S NOT A INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL THING THAT THAT RULE EXISTS FOR

[02:25:05]

THE BUS SCHEDULE, SO THE SCHOOL COULDN'T COME BACK AND SAY, OH, LET'S GO AHEAD AND RUN THE BUS.

IT'S A STATE MANDATE. SO IT COMES FROM THE I KNOW I'M BRINGING THIS UP PROACTIVELY BECAUSE FEW MONTHS AGO WITH SOME OF THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS DONE BY HAYES HIGH SCHOOL. I'LL JUST LEAVE IT THERE. WELL, JUST TO JUST. TO REITERATE WHAT WAS JUST SAID. AND WHY? I THINK THIS IS A GOOD ITEM, BUT THAT THE LESSON LEARNED FROM THE SIDEWALK ALONG. 2770 WAS LIKE YOU HAVE YOU HAVE THREE OPTIONS, AND WE CHOSE THE WORST OF THE THREE OPTION NUMBER ONE IS DON'T DO ANYTHING, WHICH ALLOWS THE BUS SERVICE TO STILL RUN. BUT THE DOWNSIDE IS YOU'RE CHOOSING TO ALLOW STATE LAW TO PREVENT YOU FROM PUTTING IN PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE RIGHT ANSWER. OPTION NUMBER TWO IS TO, YOU KNOW, DO WHAT WE DID, WHICH IS TO ACCEPT A GRANT OR PUT IN A SIDEWALK THAT IS NOT WELL DESIGNED. IT'S VERY NARROW, BARELY AD A COMPLIANT RUNS RIGHT UP ALONG, UH, STREETS AS OPPOSED TO GETTING BUFFERS. UH AND IT JUST ALTOGETHER DOESN'T ACTUALLY DO A GOOD JOB. AND THEN YOU'VE LOST BUS SERVICE AND YOU'VE GAINED A BAD SIDEWALK. SO MY SUGGESTION IS ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FEEDBACK WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIDEWALK INFRASTRUCTURE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE FULLY DESIGNING IT FULLY DESIGNING IT FOR PEDESTRIANS AND NOT JUST TO SAY WE BUILT A SIDEWALK OR BECAUSE THAT'S IF I COULD GO BACK, I THERE'S NO WAY WE WOULD HAVE BUILT THAT SIDEWALK THE WAY THAT WE DID BECAUSE IT IS. IT IS CHEAP AND LOW GRADE, YOU KNOW, AND IT WE JUST FOLLOWED THE BUDGET AND THE GRANT THAT WE GOT AND IT'S NOT VERY GOOD. SO I DON'T WANNA I DON'T WANNA COMMIT THAT SAME MISTAKE ON FUTURE SIDEWALKS LIKE THE ONE NEXT TO WALLACE OR WHEREVER. I THINK THAT'S A I THINK THAT'S A GREAT POINT. AND THAT'S IN THE DESIGN PHASE ON. WHATEVER. THEY COME UP WITH TO GIVE US THAT MASTER PLAN FIRST AND THEN DESIGN PHASE ON EACH ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUAL AREAS IS WHERE WE GOTTA MAKE SURE WE DO THAT. YEAH. ALRIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY? AYE AYE. ALL OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM. 18

[18. Consider approval of a resolution approving an amendment to the Preliminary Project and Finance Plan for Reinvestment Zone Number Six, City of Kyle, Texas.(Item Presenter: Stephanie Leibe, Norton Rose Fulbright, City's Bond Counsel)]

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE PRELIMINARY PROJECT. FINANCE PLAN FOR REINVESTMENT ZONE. SIX. MISS LIBBY. GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER STEPHANIE LIVELY WITH NORTON ROSE FULBRIGHT. OUR FIRM SERVES AS BOND COUNCIL TO THE CITY. UM DECEMBER 2023. WE BROUGHT FORWARD A CREATION AND A PRELIMINARY S. UH, PRELIMINARY PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN FOR TOURIST NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS THE DOWNTOWN TOURS. UNLIKE SOME OTHER TOURS THAT THE CITY HAS HAD RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TOURIST IS NOT A DEVELOPER INITIATED TO THIS TOURS IS A CITY INITIATED TOURIST AT THE TIME OF TOURIST CREATION. UM WILL THAT COUNCIL KNOW THAT THERE WERE STILL SOME OPEN ITEMS WITH THIS WITH THE SORRY WITH THE PROJECT AND FINANCING PLAN THAT WE WERE WORKING THROUGH WITH THE COUNTY BECAUSE THE COUNTY WILL BE A PARTICIPANT, UM , IN THIS TOURIST NUMBER SIX AND SO WE'VE SPENT BASICALLY THE MONTH OF JANUARY, WORKING WITH COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND COUNTY STAFF. UM TO REVISE SOME OF THE PROJECTS WITHIN THE PROJECT LIST AND THEN REVISE SOME OF THE COUNTY PARTICIPATION WITHIN THE TOURIST. AND SO TONIGHT WE'RE BRINGING YOU ALL AN AMENDED PRELIMINARY PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN SO THAT YOU CAN SEE AND APPROVE THOSE CHANGES. IF APPROVED BY COUNCIL, WE WOULD COME BACK TO COUNCIL ONE MORE TIME TO APPROVE THE FINAL PROJECT AND FINANCE PLAN AND THEN APPROVE THE LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY SO THAT WE CAN CAPTURE THAT.

COUNTY PARTICIPATION WITHIN THE TOURIST SO JUST FOR A VERY KIND OF HIGH LEVEL. UH FOR WHAT IS AS A REFRESHER FOR WHAT IS HER SEX OR THE DOWNTOWN TOURIST. THE DOWNTOWN TOURIST IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A FINANCING MECHANISM TO ASSIST THE CITY WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN THAT'S CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPED. AND DEVELOPMENT TO SIX AS I MENTIONED BEFORE WAS CREATED DECEMBER OF 2023, AND IT'S DESIGNED TO GENERATE OUR FINANCE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS INCLUDED WITH IT ARE THEY INTENDED PROJECTS WITHIN THE TOES INCLUDE ROADS, PARKING SIDEWALKS, TRAILS LINE OF PARKS, A NEW CITY FACILITY. UM AND THEN POTENTIALLY SOME 380 GRANTS TO HELP REVITALIZE THE ZONE. THIS IS JUST THE BOUNDARIES OF THE TOURISTS AS CREATED. AND THIS IS KIND OF THE CURRENT STEPS THAT WERE TAKEN THAT I WALK THROUGH. AND THEN WE'LL ALSO JUST VISIT.

UH, NEXT STEPS. SO FROM A HIGH LEVEL DISCUSSION FOR THE CHANGES TO THE PLAN, OR THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY FOR SOME OF THE ROADS THAT ARE GOING TO BE REDEVELOPED WITHIN

[02:30:04]

THE TOURIST, UH, THE COUNTY DID NOT WANT COUNTY INCREMENT TO BE USED TO PAY FOR WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD GO UNDERNEATH THE ROAD. AND SO AFTER DISCUSSION WITH STAFF STAFF DETERMINED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY PREFERABLE FOR THOSE COSTS TO COME OUT AND AS WATER SEWER IMPROVEMENTS ARE DONE IN CONNECTION WITH THE ROADS THAT THERE WERE PAID FROM OTHER CITY FUNDS, SO THAT WE WEREN'T TRYING TO BUY FOR KATE OUT COUNTY FUNDS , UM FOR THE CITY OFFICE BUILDING. I THINK THE COUNTY HAS A POTENTIAL INTEREST TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT OFFICE BUILDING AS DESIGN AND EM IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BUILDING COMES INTO FOCUS IF COUNTY USES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, SO AT THIS TIME, THE COUNTY IS ELECTED NOT TO PARTICIPATE OR ALLOW THEIR COUNTY TAX INCREMENT TO BE USED FOR ANY OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CITY ADMINISTRATIVE FACILITY. BUT AGAIN, I'VE LEFT THE POSSIBILITY OPEN THAT THEY COULD PARTICIPATE IN THAT FACILITY ONCE DESIGNED AND UNDERSTANDING. UM IF THERE COULD BE ANY POTENTIAL COUNTY USE FOR THAT. AND THEN SIMILARLY, WITH THE 380 AGREEMENTS, THE COUNTIES ASKED US TO COME BACK, UM TO THEM WITHIN A 380 GRANTS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE FUNDED THROUGH THE TOURIST, SO THE PLAN ITSELF IS LARGELY UNCHANGED. WE TRIED TO CAPTURE A LOT OF THESE CHANGES IN THE IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT THAT'LL COME TO THE CITY AND THE COUNTY TO MEMORIALIZE THOSE COUNTY SO FROM A TOURIST GOVERNANCE PERSPECTIVE , ALL THE PROJECTS REMAIN AS AUTHORIZED PROJECTS TOURIST ELIGIBLE CAN BE FUNDED. IT PROTECTS THE CITY'S INTEREST. IT PUTS THE CITY IN THE BEST POSITION FROM A MOVING FORWARD BASIS TO HELP REDEVELOP THE DOWNTOWN AREA. UM AND THEN, AS THE REVITALIZATION OCCURS, SOME OF THESE PROJECTS COME ONLINE. WE HAVE CONTINUED DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COUNTY TO GAUGE THEIR INTEREST IN PARTICIPATION FOR ANY OF THE ANY OF THOSE SPECIFIC PROJECTS. SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL, UM MAY HAVE. WELL, I THINK THE COUNTY'S FEEDBACK MAKES COMPLETE SENSE TO ME. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE THINKING IT THROUGH, WHICH IS IMPORTANT SO THAT WE CAN PUT GOOD PROJECTS TOGETHER AND THAT THEY'RE BEING CLEAR WITH US ABOUT WHAT THEIR EXPECTATIONS ARE. SO I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT FEEDBACK AND THANK YOU FOR CAPTURING IT. ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, MOTIONS. MHM. I WAS A HESITATION FROM THE COUNTY FOR NOT PARTICIPATING WITH THE EXPANSION OF THE CITY HALL. WELL, THE COUNTY FROM A GENERAL PERSPECTIVE WITH ALL OF THE CHARGES THAT THEY PARTICIPATE WITH WITH CITY SPONSORED TOURS.

THEY LIKE TO DELINEATE THOSE PROJECTS THAT THEY VIEW AS TRUE MUNICIPAL SERVICES. AND SO ANYTHING IN THIS IS IT'S KIND OF THE SAME OBJECTION THAT THEY HAD WITH THE WATER AND SEWER TYPE PROJECTS. WATER SEWER IMPROVEMENTS ARE A QUOTE UNQUOTE COUNTY FUNCTION, AND SO THEY UH, TOURIST POLICY PROVIDES THAT COUNTY TOURISTS INCREMENT SHOULDN'T BE USED FOR THOSE TYPES OF FACILITIES, AND SO THEY VIEWED THE CITY ADMINISTRATION FACILITY AS THE SAME IN THE SAME CATEGORY THAT THAT WAS REALLY FUNDING SOMETHING THAT THE CITY SHOULD FUND IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS, BUT AGAIN AS THAT FACILITY IS DESIGNED, THERE'S A DESIRE WITHIN THE COUNTY TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL COUNTY OFFICE SPACE AND THIS AREA OF THE COUNTY AND SO IF THERE IS OPPORTUNITY AS THAT BUILDING IS DESIGNED FOR A PORTION OF THAT SPACE TO BE DEDICATED FOR CERTAIN COUNTY OFFICES. I THINK THE COUNTY WOULD BE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE, UM, AND SHARING COSTS OF THAT OFFICE FACILITY, BUT THOSE ARE REALLY KIND OF FACT SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO ASK AND ANSWER AS THAT FACILITY IS READY TO BE CONSTRUCTED. THANK YOU. MOTIONS.

LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 18. SECOND ALL RIGHT MOTION BY COUNCILOR ZUNIGA SECONDED BY COUNCILOR HEISER THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM. 18 IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR TO SAY I? I ALL OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES 70 N. THANK YOU,

THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT ADDRESSES MOUND CITY'S APPROVAL OF COWS, PROVISION OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE WITHIN MOUNTAIN CITY CITY LIMITS. THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT BEFORE KYLE CAN PROVIDE THOSE UTILITY SERVICES IN MOUNTAIN CITY JURISDICTION AND MOUNTAIN CITY, LIKE KYLE AND OTHER CITIES, CONTROLS ACCESS TO ITS RIGHTS OF WAY AND PUBLIC. IT BY UTILITY AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, MOUNTAIN CITY AND OTHER CITIES GRANT APPROVAL FOR UTILITY TO USE THOSE STREETS THROUGH A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT, AND MOUNTAIN CITY PROVIDED A STANDARD FORM OF FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH A FRANCHISE FEE OF 3% THEY'VE PROVIDED SOME MODIFICATIONS FOR COOPER OPERATION BE BETWEEN THE CITIES TO MINI MINIMIZE DISRUPTION OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE IN THE EVENT THERE NEEDS TO BE RELOCATION OF LINES OR IN THE EVENT THAT THE A FRANCHISE NEEDS TO BE TERMINATED.

[02:45:05]

ADDRESSES THE FOLLOWING MATTERS THAT MOUNTAIN CITY AND KYLE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER TO ADDRESS WHICH IS THE EXTENSION OF A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY WITHIN MOUNTAIN CITY JURISDICTION, CALLS FOR VISION OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE TO ATTRACT WITHIN MOUNTAIN CITIES, CITY LIMITS AND RELEASE OF A PARCEL FROM MOUNTAIN CITY Z TJ. REGARDING THE RIGHT OF WAY EXTENSION IT IS REFERRED TO AS THE RICHARDSON EXTENSION. THE LAAR HOMES, UM, HOME BUILDERS BUILDING A SUBDIVISION IN KYLE THAT NEEDS TO BUILD A ROAD FROM THE MOUNTAIN CITY, KYLE BOUNDARY TO CONNECT WITH FM 2770, ALSO KNOWN AS JACK C, HAYES TRAIL, UM , TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE SUBDIVISION AND RECEIVE DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS FROM KYLE. HOWEVER THE ROAD IS LOCATED IN MOUNTAIN CITY CITY. THERE SHOULD BE CITY LIMITS. MOUNTAIN CITY, THEREFORE MUST APPROVE AN ISSUE.

THE PERMIT FOR THE ROAD. THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR MOUNTAIN CITY TO REVIEW PROVEN ISSUE A PERMIT FOR THE RECORDS AND EXTENSION AND TO ACCEPT CALLS REVIEW OF THOSE PLANS WITHIN 60 DAYS FOLLOWING THE RECEIPT OF A COMPLETE APPLICATION FROM LAAR AND DEDICATION OF ANY REQUIRED PROPERTY INTERESTS UNDER THEIR PERMITTING PROCESSES. REGARDING THE WATER AND WASTE WATER SERVICE. THERE'S A 45 ACRE PARCEL, WHICH WE REFER TO AS THE COMMERCIAL TRACT LOCATED IN MOUNTAIN CITY, AND IT NEEDS WATER AND WASTE WATER SERVICE. ALMOST THE ENTIRE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN K WASTEWATER CCN. IT'S NOT LOCATED WITHIN A WATER CCN, UH, CCN AS HER CERTIFICATE OF COME AND NECESSITY. WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT AND THE OBLIGATION TO SERVE YOU TO THOSE UTILITY SERVICES? UM MOUNTAIN CITY DOESN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT CAPACITY TO PROVIDE COMMERCIAL LEVEL. SERVICE TO THAT TRACT, SO THE DEVELOPER AND MOUNTAIN CITY AND KYLE HAVE WORKED OUT THIS AGREEMENT TO HELP ADDRESS THE PROVISION OF UTILITY SERVICE TO THAT TRACT. THIS AUTHORIZES HOW TO PROVIDE UP TO 359 LUES OF WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE WITHIN THAT CITY LIMITS TO THE COMMERCIAL TRACT AFTER PROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT AFTER MOUNTAIN CITY AND KYLE ENTER INTO THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS THE PRIOR ITEM ON THE AGENDA, THE AGREEMENT FURTHER PROVIDES FOR COLLEGE REVIEW AND APPROVE CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT PERMITS. THE CY NEEDS TO REVIEW IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S COMPLIANCE WITH CITY ORDINANCES AND STATE LAW GOVERNING WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONNECTIONS. REGARDING THE TJ RELEASE, UM. THERE'S A 21 ACRE PARCEL, WHICH HAS REQUESTED RELEASE FROM FROM MOUNTAIN CITY'S E TJ. THOSE PARCEL OWNERS WISH TO BE IN KYLE'S JURISDICTION IN MOUNTAIN CITY. APPROVAL OF THE E TJ RELEASE IS REQUIRED BECAUSE THAT PROPERTY SUBJECT TO AN EXCEPTION TO SENATE BILL 2038, WHICH IS THE STATUTE THAT AUTHORIZES PROPERTY OWNERS TO PETITION OUT OF THE CITY'S E TJ, THEY CAN'T SIMPLY PETITION TO BE OUT OF THAT CITY AND BE RELEASED BY OPERATION OF LAW. UM, SUBJECT TO SOME. CASE LAW THAT'S PENDING ON THAT ISSUE, BUT THE MOUNTAIN CITY WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE THAT. UH AND THEN THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS THEN HAVE TO REQUEST TO BE, UM, INCLUDED IN KYLE'S E TJ. THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR MOUNTAIN CITY TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE RELEASING THAT PARCEL FROM ITS E TJ WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE EXECUTION OF THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES , WHERE THE ISSUANCE OF THE SERVICE LETTERS TO THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WHICHEVER OCCURS LAST ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? CUSTOMER ZUNIGA A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS TODAY. OK, SO JUST, UM, I'D LIKE TO ASK WHO IS GOING TO REVIEW THE QUALITY OF THE ROAD AFTER IT'S COMPLETE FOR LIGHTING FOR THE WIDTH OF THE LANES AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE APPROPRIATE SIDEWALKS AND CROSSWALKS WHO, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANNA UNDERTAKE A SMALL ROAD SO WE'RE ALREADY DEALING WITH. WE'RE ALREADY DEALING WITH ROADS THAT ARE TOO NARROW. AND THEN THE SECOND QUESTION IS, ARE WE STILL GONNA HAVE THE POWER TO DENY ANY HIGH WATER USERS? THAT MIGHT GET INTO THAT DEVELOPMENT TRACK. ON THE ON THE FIRST QUESTION THE QUESTION? YES. SOMETIMES SOMETIMES I THINK I MAY ASK FOR BACK UP FROM ENGINEERING, BUT THE ROAD IS I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THE ANSWER TO THAT IS. YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE ANSWER. THE ANSWER IS GONNA BE RESIDENTIAL. BUT WHAT IF SOMEONE MOVES IN SAYS I WANT ZONING COMMERCIAL? AND I'M A HIGH WATER USER. AND SO WHAT? YOU YOU PROMISED ME THIS WATER SO NOW YOU OWE IT TO US. WELL, HANG ON. I THOUGHT YOU SAID WHO'S REVIEWING THE ROAD THAT QUESTION, BUT THEN I HAD THE OTHER HYPOTHETICAL IS OK. I HAD TWO HYPOTHETICALS. SO THE LIMIT OF THE WATER IS 359 LUES. THAT'S THE LIMIT OF THE ACCESS THEY HAVE. AND SO IF THEY HAD A HIGHER WATER USER THAT HAD AN EQUIVALENT MORE THAN 359, IT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. AS THE SIMPLE ANSWER TO THAT, OK? THE SECOND QUESTION WAS THE ROAD SO THE ROAD WILL BE BUILT TO, YOU KNOW, TO OUR STANDARDS, SO THE PAVEMENT QUALITY THE DEPTH OF

[02:50:02]

THE SUB BASE, ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, WHICH ARE OUR STANDARDS. UM I DON'T KNOW. IF THERE'S A SIDEWALK ON IT. I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT PARTICULAR BECAUSE IT GOES RIGHT TO 2770. WILL BRIAN JUST JUST TO BE CLEAR? SO YOU'RE SAYING DISAGREEMENT COMPELS THEM TO BUILD IT TO OUR STANDARDS.

YES PAGE. CORRECT ME. IF I'M WRONG ON THAT IT DOES NOT. IT'S GONNA APPLY MOUNTAIN CITIES REQUIREMENTS OK, AND SO WHAT REQUIREMENTS DOES MOUNTAIN CITY HAVE ON ROADS? SOME PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO KYLE ALREADY FOR REVIEW. YEAH BUT THAT'S IRRELEVANT BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUR JURISDICTION, AND THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF CONTENTION WHILE THEY PULLED AWAY FROM DOING THE ROAD IS BECAUSE WE CAN'T APPROVE PLANS IN ANOTHER CITY'S CITY LIMITS. IT'S NOT THE CITY OF KYLE. SO COUNCILOR RESUMING. HIS QUESTION IS VERY RELEVANT. ARE THEY GOING TO BUILD IT TO THE C STANDARD? AND IF THEY'VE SAID THAT, CAN WE GET IT CODIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, BECAUSE ONCE WE VOTE ON THIS IT'S IF IT'S NOT MEMORIALIZED HERE, I CAN'T THINK OF ANY REASON TO THAT THEY WOULD BE COMPELLED TO BUILD THE ROAD. ACCORDING TO OUR I THINK LEAR IS GOING TO BE BUILDING THE ROAD.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY DO WANT TO BUILD IT TO THE KYLE. UH, STANDARDS THAT MOUNTAIN CITY IS ACCEPTING OF THOSE STANDARDS. SO I THINK IF WE WANTED TO MAKE SOME TYPE OF MOTION ON ON THE RECORD, JUST TO BE CLEAR THAT IT WOULD BE BUILT ACCORDING TO OUR STANDARDS, THAT THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY A PROPER WAY TO DO IT. I'LL ASK THE ATTORNEYS IF THERE'S ANY OTHER, UH IDEAS THEY HAVE ABOUT THAT. BUT I. I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT, AND I THINK THAT'S THE INTENT OF ALL THE PARTIES. I DO THINK WE CAN DO THAT. UM HOWEVER, MOUNTAIN CITY WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE APPROVER AND THEY HAVE TO BE BECAUSE IT'S IN THEIR CITY LIMITS SO WE CAN WE CAN REQUEST THAT THEY USE OUR STANDARDS AS OPPOSED TO THEIR OWN STANDARDS OR USE OUR STANDARDS IN ADDITION TO THEIR OWN STANDARDS, BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO BE THE FINAL APPROVER THAT THEY WOULD BE THE FINAL APPROVAL APPROVER, BUT WE ARE ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT WITH THEM THAT INCLUDES THIS ROAD AS A CENTRAL CENTRAL PIECE. SO THOSE THINGS THAT OBVIOUSLY NORMALLY THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY UNDER THEIR DISCRETION. THE ROAD IS ALREADY BUILT UP TO THE EDGE OF THEIR CITY. WITH A CERTAIN STANDARD IN MIND. WE WANNA ENSURE LEGALLY THAT THEY HAVE TO FULFILL THAT AS A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND I DON'T SEE WHY WE COULDN'T ENSURE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW AT AT A MINIMUM. THE STANDARD THAT IS SET WITH THE ROAD THAT IS STOPPED AT THEIR BORDER, AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT THEY WOULD NOT WANT TO DO THAT. BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW AND I THINK IT'S PRUDENT ON US, UH, FOR US TO ENSURE IT TO COUNCIL RAZUMA. IS THERE NO WAY FOR US TO DO THAT? NO, WE CAN PUT IN THERE THAT THAT IT'LL BE APPROVED TO THE SAME STANDARDS AS THE EXISTING ROAD AS LONG AS MOUNTAIN CITY AGREES TO THAT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE JUST WE JUST DON'T GET TO SAY HEY, MOUNTAIN CITY. WE DON'T LIKE THAT. YOU APPROVE THIS. WE WANNA APPROVE IT BECAUSE THEY IF IT'S NOT IN THE CONTRACT, YEAH, WHICH IS TO THE TO THE POINT. SO WE'RE GONNA YOU SHOULD NOT VOTE ON THIS. YOU KNOW, MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU WOULD VOTE ON IT. BUT IF YOU WANT TO STIPULATE THAT THAT THAT TYPE OF CHANGE IS MADE, SUBJECT TO THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE CITY ATTORNEY, THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AGAIN. MY INTENT, UH, IN MY DISCUSSIONS WITH BOTH, UH LENAR AND MOUNTAIN CITY IS THAT THEY DO WANT TO BUILD IT TO OUR STANDARDS, SO I DON'T I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S A, UH, A DEAL THAT POINT THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. BUT WE COULD JUST BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT IN THE AGREEMENT. IF THAT IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF COUNSEL, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM. AND BUT BUT HERE'S THE IMPORTANT CONTEXT TO BE CLEAR. THEY MAY SAY THEY WANT IT TO BE BUILT ACCORDING TO KYLE STANDARDS, BUT IT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION ACCORDING TO KYLE STANDARDS, AND THEY ISSUED A STOP WORK ORDER TO LENAR IN ORDER TO GET US TO THIS POINT, SO MY ONLY REASON FOR WANTING TO PUSH BACK ON. THAT IS TO SAY THAT WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE THING THAT THEY ARE TRADING FOR IS GOING TO BE DELIVERED THE WAY THAT THEY ARE SAYING, AND THAT NEEDS TO BE IN THE CONTRACT BECAUSE INTENT INTENT CAN CHANGE. SO I'VE GOT TWO THINGS TO ADD TO THIS IN THE IN THE MOTION. IF Y'ALL WANT ME TO MAKE IT, GIVE ME A SECOND. GO AHEAD. SO THE OTHER THING IS, UH, THE ADDRESS IS. IS THAT GONNA HAVE AC ADDRESS NOW THAT WE'RE TAKING THOSE E TJ S, OR IS IT STILL GONNA HAVE THE MOUNTAIN CITY ADDRESS? WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THOSE, UH, CODIFIED TO C ADDRESS WHERE WE END UP IN THE SAME, UM PLACE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, WITH KYLE RESIDENTS HAVING A BUAH ADDRESS, AND WE'RE NOT BEING ABLE TO RECTIFY THAT. SO THE E TJ, UH, PORTION THAT WE HAVE WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE TO THAT THAT WILL REMAIN IN MOUNTAIN CITY. IT WON'T BE A KYLE ADDRESS. IT'LL BE, UH, THAT THAT PORTION OF MOUNTAIN CITY THE TJ THAT THEY'RE TRADING FOR US, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THERE'S 22 DIFFERENT COMPONENTS. SO WHERE WE'RE PROVIDING THE, UH WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE THAT LITTLE STRIP ON 2770 THAT'S STILL PART OF MOUNTAIN CITY. THE OTHER COMPONENT WILL REVERT TO THE CITY OF K. YES, THE OTHER 21 ACRE TRACK THAT SHE HAD. SO THAT 21 ACRE TRACK IS WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE, UH, THE KYLE ADDRESS BECAUSE WE WILL GO INTO OUR OUR E TJ. THERE IS A, UH PROCESS TO HAVE THAT TRANSFERRED IN OUR E TJ. WELL

[02:55:07]

THAT I'M THE SPEAK ON ANYTHING THAT YOU NEED TO CLARIFY. NO SIR . UH, THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT, UH, THE KYLE OR THE US POSTAL SERVICE GETS TO DICTATE WHICH ZIP CODE IT HAS, AND SO WHETHER IT SAYS KYLE, OR MOUNTAIN CITY AND THE ADDRESS ITSELF, BUT WE AT THE SAME TIME WE WILL ASSIGN THE STREET ADDRESSES WHEN A SITE IS DEVELOPED. DOES IT MAKE SENSE? YEAH, I. I JUST DON'T WANNA GO TO THE SAME ISSUE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH, UH, CAR RESIDENTS HAVING TO BE THE ADDRESS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT . YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO WE'VE WE'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THAT WE WERE ABLE TO RECTIFY IT WAS SAN WORKERS, WHICH IS HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITH BUTTER. SO IF I CAN FOLLOW UP ON WHAT MAYOR PRO TEM IS ASKING SO SENATE BILL 2038 ALLOWS FOR ET, UH, LANDOWNERS TO PETITION TO BE RELEASED FROM ANY MUNICIPALITY, E, TJ, UH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE OF A PARTICULAR CARVE OUT WHICH APPLIES TO THE E TJ IN QUESTION THAT'S BEING RELEASED FROM MOUNTAIN CITY AND ANNEXED TO THE CITY OF KYLE. DOES THIS AGREEMENT MEAN THAT THE E TJ THAT WE ARE ANNEXING IN CANNOT BECAUSE IT'S ANNEXED IN BY AGREEMENT AND CONSENT OF THE LANDOWNERS. COULD THE LANDOWNERS A YEAR FROM NOW? SIX MONTHS FROM NOW? SAY YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE DECIDED? WE WANT TO BE AN UNINCORPORATED HAYES COUNTY AND WE'RE GONNA SEND YOU A LETTER. AND SO IT WAS NEVER REALLY A BARGAINING CHIP TO BEGIN WITH.

SO FOR CLARITY. THIS AGREEMENT DEALS WITH THE ETG RELEASE BY MOUNTAIN CITY. WE STILL NEED A PETITION FROM THE LANDOWNER. ENTER INTO THE PE TJ. SO SHOULDN'T THIS AGREEMENT BE SUBJECT TO THE EXECUTION OF THAT AGREEMENT, SINCE THAT IS A PART OF THE NEGOTIATION? AS AN THIS IS AN INTER LOCAL, SO WE CANNOT PUT IN HERE. ANY ACTION BY THE DEVELOPER. ALL WE CAN PUT IN HERE IS ACTION BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES. THE DEVELOPER IS NOT A PARTY TO THIS CONTRACT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT AN INTER LOCAL IS THAT OBVIOUSLY WE CAN'T BIND THE DEVELOPER. BUT WHAT WE CAN SAY TO MOUNTAIN CITY IS THAT THIS PART OF THEM THEM RELEASING IT. DOESN'T BECOME EFFECT. IT DOESN'T BECOME EFFECTIVE UNTIL IT'S ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF KYLE. OTHERWISE WE AGAIN WE'RE RUNNING A RISK OF NOT ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE THING THAT WE HAVE SET OUT AND AGREED WITH THIS AGREEMENT. I. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S AN IRONCLAD AGREEMENT. WE COULD CERTAINLY LOOK AT DOING THAT. I THINK IT'S A TIME ISSUE, PERHAPS OF WHAT THIS PROPERTY OWNER WOULD WANT TO DO WHEN THEY WOULD WANT TO DO IT AND THAT THAT PROCESS UH, THAT'S NOT BEEN A SUBJECT OF ANY OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD IS MAKING. THE DEVELOPER OF THE LANDOWNER DECIDES THEY DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE CITY OF KE TJ, THEN WE NEVER SWAPPED FOR IT, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CRITICAL POINTS OF THIS ENTIRE DEAL. BUT I, BUT I THINK YOU YOU WOULD HAVE. WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE GAINED IS THAT MOUNTAIN CITY HAS HAS GIVEN THE APPROVAL FOR IT TO COME OUT OF THE E TJ SO NOW WHETHER OR NOT SO IT'S LIKE HALFWAY. YEAH BUT IT GIVES YOU IT CERTAINLY GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER. RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO DO THAT. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S THE TRADE. THE REAL TRADE IS THE ROAD AND THE WATER. THIS IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT'S IN THERE. UM BUT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE ON THIS DEAL. WHEN OUR IS LOOKING AT BUILDING SOME OTHER ROADS, UM THEY'VE INDICATED TO US THAT ONCE THEY WRAP THAT CONSTRUCTION UP IF THERE IS NOT A DEAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH RICHARDSON, THEY WILL MOVE ON AND NOT DO THAT PARTICULAR ROAD, SO WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD AND REALLY THE EFFECT. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD. THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANT TO TRY TO DO. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THE CITY GAINS THROUGH THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRING IT INTO THE CITY. CURRENTLY, YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT ABILITY. THAT'S COMPELLING ENOUGH FOR ME. WHAT DO YOU THINK? ALL RIGHT. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEMS 21 AND 22 AND, UH, DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO AMEND THE CONTRACT TO PROVIDE ASSURANCES TO THE CITY OF KYLE THAT THAT MOUNTAIN CITY WILL PROVIDE ASSURANCES TO THE CITY OF CARL THAT NUMBER ONE THE ROAD WILL BE BUILT TO AT A MINIMUM, THE STANDARD SET FORTH IN IN COW REGULATIONS AND THE STANDARD, UH, DEMONSTRATED IN RICHARDSON UP TO THAT POINT THAT IT CAN CHANGE AND NUMBER TWO TO GIVE THE CITY OF CAL ASSURANCES THAT THE WATER WILL NOT BE PROVIDED TO THEM IN THE LE GUARANTEED TO DELIVER TO THEM BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT ROAD IS COMPLETE. SECOND ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY THE MAYOR, SECONDED BY COUNCILOR MAYOR PARSLEY. IS

[03:00:02]

THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? WE'RE GOOD WITH THE MOTION. ALL RIGHT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY ALL POST. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 1. ALL RIGHT. NEXT STEP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 23

[23. Discussion and possible action to direct city manager and staff to research a carpool option and program for residents that work inside or outside the city.(Item Presenter: Miguel A. Zuniga PhD, Council Member)]

DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO DIRECT CITY MANAGER AND STAFF TO RESEARCH A CARPAL OPTION PROGRAM FOR RESIDENTS THAT WORK INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE CITY. DOCTOR ZUNIGA. HEY, NO. I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND, UH, ACCOUNT AND POSTPONE THIS, UH, UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE. FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS. YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET THE SAME FOR ME. I'M JUST GONNA SAY THAT THIS IS PROBABLY 10 YEARS TOO EARLY BECAUSE THE CARPOOL LANE THE HOV LANES ARE NOT INSTALLED ON I 35 YET BUT AS SOON AS THOSE LANES ARE INSTALLED, BRING THIS BACK, PLEASE. I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. GET GET A LITTLE MORE VEHICLES OFF THE ROADWAY HERE. IT IS A GOOD INTENT JUST EARLY. NEXT EPISODE, 924 DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION TO DIRECT ECONOMIC

[24. Discussion and possible action to direct the Economic Development and Tourism Board to analyze trends and best strategies for increasing hotel occupancy revenues and the development of a hotel/convention center funding plan.(Item Presenter: Travis Mitchell, Mayor)]

DEVELOPMENT TOURISM BOARD TO ANALYZE TRENDS AND BEST STRATEGIES FOR INCREASING HOTEL OCCUPANCY REVENUES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER FUNDING PLAN.

UM THE REASON I'M BRINGING THIS FORWARD THE CHAIR AND THE VICE PRES, VICE CHAIR OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM BOARD REQUESTED A MEETING WITH MYSELF AND, UH, VICTORIA THIS LAST WEEK , UH AND THEY WERE REALLY HUNGRY TO GET SOME ASSIGNMENTS AND THEY HAD SOME DIFFERENT IDEAS. UH, BUT VICTORIA AND I DISCUSSED THESE TWO PARTICULAR ITEMS WOULD BE RELEVANT AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. NUMBER ONE IS WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT, UH, HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER POTENTIAL SITES THAT ARE BEING CULTIVATED THAT A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERED ABOUT HOW DID OTHER CITIES, UH, DO THEIR PROJECTS? HOW DO THEY STRUCTURE THEM? AND UH, SO I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD TASK FOR THE BOARD AND THEN SECOND, SECONDARILY TO GIVE US SOME, UH, RESEARCH ON OUR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FUND SO I COULD SEE SOMETHING LIKE GOING BACK. YEARS AND HOW MANY BEDS DO WE HAVE? EACH YEAR IN A GRAPH? HOW WHAT WAS OUR HOTEL? UH, REVENUE? UH, YOU KNOW SOME SOME REALLY GOOD USABLE DATA TO HELP US UNDERSTAND THE 10 YEAR TRAJECTORY OF THE HOTEL. I CAN SEE TAX FUND AND THEN ALSO TO COMPARE THAT BECAUSE IT'S ALL PUBLIC DATA TO COMPARE THAT AGAINST BENCHMARK CITIES LIKE BUA AND SAN MARCOS AND ELSEWHERE TO GIVE US A SENSE OF HOW OUR HOT FUND IS PERFORMING. UH AND THEN ALSO SOME POTENTIAL STRATEGIES BETWEEN THE HOT FUND IN THE HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER FOR HOW TO USE THE DOLLARS EFFECTIVELY TO GET WHAT WE WANT AND REALLY, THAT'S THE SCOPE OF IT AND TO ALLOW THE I WANTED THEM TO HEAR IT FROM THE COUNCIL , AS OPPOSED TO JUST MY SUGGESTION, SO THAT WE ALL COULD SEND A MESSAGE IF WE WANT TO THAT. THOSE ARE GOOD THINGS FOR THEM TO BE LOOKING INTO AND TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK. DO YOU HAVE THOUGHTS ON THAT? MAY YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. ONE OF THE THINGS I I'D REALLY LIKE THEM TO EXPLORE IS NOT ONLY YOU KNOW THE POTENTIAL OF THE OTHER CITIES ARE DOING BUT, UH WHAT IS THE, UH WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? WHAT IS A GAIN? WHAT ARE THE LOSSES? SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND AS WELL. I KNOW SOME CITIES HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF BUILDING THESE CONVENTION CENTERS AND NOT OVERBUILT AND OTHER CITIES HAVE OVERBUILT AND THERE'S A MONTHLY LOSS TO IT. SO MAKING SURE WE PURSUE ALL THE AVENUES. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS HELP ME BASICALLY HELP US UNDERSTAND THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF WHAT OTHER FOLKS HAVE DONE LIKE A VENUE TAX. WHICH SAN MARCOS DID. IS THAT FEASIBLE IN KYLE? WHY OR WHY NOT? UM, AND THEN YOU KNOW ON DOWN THE LIST. UM VICTORIA, DO YOU HAVE A MO? AN IDEA OF LIKE WHEN YOU THINK YOU MIGHT TRY TO HAVE THEM BRING SOMETHING BACK TO US. BRIAN IS TEACHING ME THAT DEADLINES MAKE DEALS SO. VICTORIA VARGAS, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT . FOR THE RECORD, I THINK, UH, SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD TAKE THREE MONTHS. I'VE BEEN NOTICING THAT SOME OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDIES WE'RE DOING AND OTHER CONCEPT, UM, PLANS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON HAVE TRADITIONALLY TAKEN A THREE MONTH TIME PERIOD FOR A GOOD REVIEW. SO I THINK IF I THINK THE BOARD CHAIR ALSO SAID THAT WE COULD DO THIS IN PHASES, SO MAYBE THEY COULD BRING YOU BRING FORTH A REPORT, UM, OF THE FIRST PHASE OF WHAT THEY'VE ACCOMPLISHED AND THEN MAKE SURE THEY'RE ON THE RIGHT PATH. AND THEN YOU KNOW, MAYBE IN ANOTHER MONTH BRING FORTH ANOTHER, UH, PHASE OF THEIR RESEARCH. SO HOW DOES REPORT BACK IN JUNE? SO I THINK THAT SOUNDS GOOD. THAT'S THAT'S A FULL THREE MONTHS AND THEN SOME. ALL RIGHT? I'D LIKE TO, UH MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 24 INTO DIRECT THE BOARD TO BRING BACK A REPORT IN JUNE. ALL RIGHT MOTION BY THE MAYOR SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY I ALL OPPOSED? RIGHT MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0 MOTION TO NEVER ADJOURN MOTION TO ADJOURN. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE DONE. FOUR.
