AND SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ABOUT THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE 21ST AGENDA ITEM TODAY.A GAY PRIDE. EVENT. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING PRIDEFUL ABOUT IT. I THINK IT'S DISGUSTING. UM BUT THE BIBLE HAS MANY REFERENCES FOR ME IN THIS REGARD. AND FIRST CORINTHIANS, IT SAYS. DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD DO NOT BE DECEIVED. NEITHER THE IMMORAL NOR IDOLATERS NOR HOMOSEXUALS NOR THIEVES, NOR GREEDY NOR DRUNKARDS, NOT REVILERS NOR ROBBERS WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. IN EPHESIANS, IT SAYS, THEREFORE, DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THEM. BUT INSTEAD EXPOSE THEM. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE HARSH. IN LEVITICUS 20, IT SAYS. THE LORD SAID TO MOSES. IF A MAN LIES WITH A MAN AS WITH THE WOMAN, BOTH OF THEM HAVE COMMITTED AN ABOMINATION AND SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH. THEIR BLOOD IS UPON THEM. THE IDEA OF CELEBRATING A GAY AGENDA IS DISGUSTING. IT'S A VIOLATION OF GOD'S WILL. AND, UH, HOPE THAT THE BODY WILL DISMISS IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT UP, UH, HELEN SUE CARTER. HELLO THANK YOU FOR HEARING US. UM I HOPE YOU'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO CURRENT LAW REGARDING THE GAY PRIDE AND DRAG QUEEN AND ALL THOSE ASSOCIATED ITEMS. AND AS WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE HEADLINES, SOME OF THEM, SAY, TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS CELEBRATION OF PRIDE EVENTS VIOLATES STATE LAW. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS LIBRARIES CANCEL PRIDE EVENTS TO COMPLY WITH TEXAS D EIB. TEXAS GOVERNOR SIGNS ANTI DRAG BILL TARGETING ALL AGES PERFORMANCES INTO LAW. TEXAS GOVERNOR. I ABBOT. SIGNED
[00:05:04]
SENATE BILL 12 INTO LAW. IT HAS PENALTIES FOR UP TO $10,000 PER VIOLATION. IF YOU HOST A AN EVENT IN WHICH THERE ARE DRAG EVENTS THERE. AND THERE'S NOT ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIDE AND DRAG. IT'S ALL THE SAME BALL OF WAX. PERFORMERS AND PARTICIPANTS ALSO FACE PENALTIES. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DAN PATRICK SAID. I WILL NOT ALLOW TEXAS CHILDREN TO BE SEXUALIZED AND SCARRED FOR LIFE BY HARMFUL DRAG PRIDE EVENTS. THE FINAL VERSION OF SENATE BILL 12. GOES INTO AN EXTENSIVE DEFINITION OF SEXUAL CONDUCT. IS THE CITY OF KYLE WILLING TO INVITE LAWSUITS BY SPONSORING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES THAT THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE HAS OUTLAWED. WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN EXPOSING PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN TO MEN WEARING SCANTILY? CLAD LADIES OUTFITS AND ACTING AND SEXUALLY PROVOCATIVE WAYS. THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. IT'S ABOUT THE CHILDREN. IT'S ABOUT GROOMING THE CHILDREN DESTROYING THE CHILDREN SO THAT OUR COUNTRY CAN BE MADE MARXIST AND BE DESTROYED FOR THE GREAT CHRISTIAN NATION. IT IS. THIS IS A BATTLE AND WE INTEND TO FIGHT YOU ON THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS STEPHANIE MCDONALD. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS STEPHANIE MCDONALD. I'M A KYLE RESIDENT. AND I'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON A GENDER ITEM NUMBER 21. I'M HERE TO URGE THE COUNCIL NOT TO DIRECT THE CITY MANAGER TO DESIGNATE A PRIDE THEMED MARKET DAY EVENT OR ANY OTHER PRIDE THEMED EVENT. IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S PLACE TO POLITICIZE A CITY SPONSORED EVENT. IT'S CALLED MARKET DAYS. IT'S A MARKET IT'S FOR SHOPPING. IT DISCOURAGES SHOPPERS AND OTHER MERCHANTS FROM PARTICIPATING. IT'S BAD GOVERNANCE. IT'S NOT ABOUT PUSHING AN AGENDA THAT WILL POLARIZE AND DIVIDE OUR COMMUNITY. THE CITY HAS NO BUSINESS PROMOTING A GROUP OF PEOPLE'S SEXUALITY. THAT'S A PRIVATE ISSUE. IT'S AN APPROPRIATE TO USE MARKET DAYS TO PROMOTE ANY GROUP'S IDEOLOGY, WHETHER POLITICAL, SEXUAL, RELIGIOUS ANYTHING ELSE. IT'S DISTURBING TO KNOW THAT ANY ADULT WANTS TO EXPOSE THEIR OWN. AND OR OTHERS CHILDREN TO AN ADULT SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND BEHAVIOR. IT'S HARMFUL TO CHILDREN. SEXUALIZE AND CONFUSES THEM. AND, UM IF COUNCIL MEMBER GLEN HEISER REALLY WANTS TO PROMOTE A PRIDE THEMED EVENT. I ASK YOU DO IT THROUGH YOUR BUSINESS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THAT I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA. BUT I'M HERE AS A CITIZEN AND I'M REQUESTING THE ITEM BE MOVED TO THE TOP OF THE DISCUSSION. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS MICHAEL MCDONALD. GOOD EVENING. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AGAINST, UH, ITEM 21. UM IT IS CALLED KYLE. MARKET DAY. WHAT IS COW MARKET DAY? IT IS ADDRESSED TO ALL CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF KYLE, PLUS OTHERS WHO WANT TO ATTEND. IT IS WHERE VENDORS COME TO SELL THEIR WARES. IT IS WHERE CHILDREN AND OTHERS CAN COME AND CREATE ARTS AND CRAFTS. IT IS WHERE WE CAN BUY ARTS AND CRAFTS. IT IS WHERE LOCAL FARMERS AND OTHERS CAN COME AND SELL THEIR FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND EDIBLES. IT IS WHERE WE COME TO LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC. IT IS WHERE ALL CITIZENS SHOULD BE WELCOMED. IT IS A GATHERING FOR ALL CITIZENS. TO COME TOGETHER AND ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY. IT IS SUPPOSED TO. SUPPORTED BY OUR TAX DOLLARS THE TAX DOLLARS FOR ALL CITIZENS OF US OF KYLE. WHAT IT'S NOT IT IS NOT POLITICAL. IT IS NOT WHERE WE ELEVATE ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE OVER OTHERS. IT IS NOT WHERE A LIFESTYLE IS INTRODUCED, CELEBRATED AND ELEVATED ABOVE OTHERS. IT IS NOT TO BE USED TO DIVIDE THE CITIZENS OF KYLE. IT IS NOT WHERE ORGANIZATIONS COME TO RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS. IT IS NOT A TOOL TO DIVIDE THE CITIZENS OF KYLE. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, OUR PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAMS DECIDED TO ACCEPT AND[00:10:01]
PROMOTE. THE IDEAS OF CERTAIN GROUPS. THESE GROUPS WERE NOT INCLUSIVE. THEY WERE DIVISIVE, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID. THEY DIVIDED US. THOSE WHO BELIEVE THE IDEAS AGAINST THOSE WHO OPPOSE THEM. SPORTS LEAGUES, BOTH PROFESSIONAL AND SEMI PROFESSIONAL SHOULD NOT BE POLITICAL. THEY SHOULD BE AN ESCAPE. EVENTS WHERE BOTH ENDS OF THE SPECTRA POLITICAL SPECTRUM CAN COME TOGETHER AND ENJOY THEMSELVES WITHOUT HAVING CONTRE FEELINGS. AND EMOTIONS BOMBARDED AGAINST EACH OTHER. OUR COUNTRY IS STILL DIVIDED BECAUSE OF THE DECISIONS THESE LEAKS MADE. THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT WATCH THE NFL. THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT WATCH THE NBA. THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT WATCH MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL BECAUSE OF THE AGENDA THAT THEY SUPPORT. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO STILL REFUSE TO WATCH THESE SPORTS. AND THEY WILL CONTINUE. TO NOT WATCH HIM. MANY YEARS LATER BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO GET POLITICAL SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT IS AN ESCAPE. WHY DID THIS LEAGUE DECIDE TO ENTER POLI POLITICS INTO THEIR BROADCAST? WAS IT PEER PRESSURE FROM THEIR THESE GROUPS? WAS IT MONEY THAT INFLUENCED THEM? WAS IT PERSONAL. EVENTS LIKE KOW MARKET. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE AN ESCAPE EVENTS WHERE BOTH ENDS OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM CAN COME AND ENJOY THEMSELVES WITHOUT HAVING TO DEFEND THEIR POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, IDEOLOGY AND HAVE TO BE EXPOSED TO CONTRARY VIEWS.THANK YOU, MR MCDONALD. YOUR TIME IS UP. APPRECIATE IT. YES, SIR. UH, NEXT UP IS ARMANDO ESCALANTE. THANK YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. UM I'M SPEAKING AGAINST AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER, 21.
AND, UM THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR THING UH , LAYS THE GROUNDWORK FOR MUNICIPAL SUICIDE. OK AND, UM THIS IS REALLY NOT ABOUT YOU KNOW, PRIDE OR WHATEVER YOU KNOW, THEY WANNA CALL IT. THIS IS REALLY A COMMUNIST AGENDA, AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT. SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO. IS I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND READ SO YOU CAN GET SOME LIKE GLIMPSE AND AN IDEA WHERE THIS THESE IDEAS COME FROM. I'M READING FROM, UH, THE GAY COMMUNIST NEWS. OK SOMETHING THEY PUBLISHED, WHICH WAS THE HOMOSEXUAL MANIFESTO THAT WAS PUBLISHED BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 1987. AND I'M GONNA READ SOME EXCERPTS AND I'LL TRY TO ME AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE HERE BECAUSE IT'S RELATIVELY SHORT, BUT THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO NOTE. UM IT'S NOT PRETTY, BUT IT'S GONNA GIVE YOU A PRETTY GOOD IDEA. WHERE WHERE THESE MOVEMENTS COME FROM. IT SAYS WE SHALL YOUR SONS, EMBLEMS OF YOUR FEEBLE MASCULINITY. OF YOUR SHALLOW DREAMS AND VULGAR LIES. WE SHALL SEDUCE THEM. IN YOUR SCHOOLS IN YOUR DORMITORIES IN YOUR GYMNASIUMS IN YOUR LOCKER ROOMS IN YOUR SPORTS ARENAS IN YOUR SEMINARIES IN YOUR YOUTH GROUPS IN YOUR MOVIE THEATERS, BATHROOMS IN YOUR ARMY BUNK HOUSES AND YOUR TRUCK STOPS AND ALL MALE CLUBS IN YOUR HOUSES OF CONGRESS WHEREVER MEN ARE WITH MEN TOGETHER, YOUR SON SHALL BECOME ARMENIANS AND DO OUR BIDDING. THEY WILL BE RECAST INTO OUR IMAGE. THEY WILL COME TO CRAVE AN ADOR US. ANOTHER EXCERPT. ALL LAWS BANNING HOMOSEXUALITY, ACTIVITY WILL BE REVOKED. INSTEAD LEGISLATION SHALL BE PASSED, WHICH ENGENDERS LOVE BETWEEN MEN. ALL HOMOSEXUALS MUST STAND TOGETHER AS BROTHERS. WE MUST BE UNITED ARISTOC, UM, ARTISTICALLY, PHILOSOPHICALLY, SOCIALLY, POLITICALLY AND FINANCIALLY. WE WILL TRIUMPH ONLY WHEN WE PRESENT A COMMON FACE TO THE VICIOUS HETEROSEXUAL ENEMY. THE FAMILY UNIT. THE FAMILY UNIT SPAWNING GROUNDS OF LIES, BETRAYALS, MEDIOCRITY, HYPOCRISY AND VIOLENCE WILL BE ABOLISHED.
THE FAMILY UNIT, WHICH ONLY DAMPENS IMAGINATION AND CURBS FREE WILL MUST BE ELIMINATED.
PERFECT BOYS WILL BE CONCEIVED AND GROWN IN THE GENETIC LABORATORY, WHICH IS WHERE YOU GET THE TRANS MOVEMENT. THEY WILL BE BONDED TOGETHER IN COMMU COMMUNAL SETTINGS UNDER THE CONTROL AND INSTRUCTION OF HOMOSEXUAL SAVANTS. OKAY I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME HERE. SO I'M GONNA READ THE LAST ONE. WE SHALL REWRITE HISTORY. HISTORY FILLED IN THE BASE WITH YOUR
[00:15:02]
HETEROSEXUAL LIES AND DISTORTIONS. WE SHALL PORTRAY THE HOMOSEXUALITY OF THE GREAT LEADERS AND THINKERS WHO HAVE SHAPED THE WORLD TREMBLE. HETERO SWINE WHEN WE APPEAR BEFORE YOU WITHOUT OUR MASKS. THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE FACING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND YOU'LL BE COMMITTING AND LAYING THE GROUNDWORK. FOR MUNICIPAL SUICIDE IF YOU ALLOW EVENTS LIKE THIS ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS EILEEN ESCALANTE. GET PRETTY SHORT. I THINK A LOT OF GOOD THINGS HAVE BEEN SAID AND I SUPPORT ALL OF THEM. UM I'D LIKE TO SAY A QUOTE OUR FOUNDING FATHER, JOHN ADAMS. OUR CONSTITUTION WAS MADE ONLY FOR A MORAL AND RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. IT IS WHOLLY INADEQUATE TO THE GOVERNMENT OF ANY OTHER WE HAVE HAD OVER THE LAST 200 YEARS, THE BEST COUNTRY WITH THE MOST FREEDOM IN THE WORLD. OK NOBODY'S BEING OPPRESSED IN THE UNITED STATES. WE HAVE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS WHO ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER AND OPPRESS THE CHRISTIANS, AND IT'S NOT RIGHT, OK? UM AND SEXUALITY BELONGS IN THE HOME, NOT IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE, AND THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE SPENDING MONEY OUR TAX MONEY TO PROMOTE THIS TYPE OF EVENT. THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO SAY, BUT IT'S OPPRESSIVE TO THE REST OF US, AND IT'S WRONG.THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THAT IS ALL OF THE CITIZEN COMMENTS FORMS THAT I HAVE. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ALRIGHT, SING, NAN. I'M GONNA
[2. Agenda Order per Rules of Council Sec. B1.]
CLOSE THIS AND COMMENTS IT IS NOW CLOSED. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ORDER. DOES ANYBODY WISH TO REQUEST TO MOVE ANY OF THE ITEMS AROUND IN THE AGENDA? LIKE TO MOVE UP AGENDA ITEM 21. ANY OBJECTION TO THAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SEEING NONE. WE'RE GONNA START WITH AGENDA ITEM 21[21. Discussion and possible action on directing the City Manager to designate a Pridethemed Market Days event in June 2024]
DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO DESIGNATE A PRIDE THE MARKET DAYS EVENT IN JUNE 2024 CUSTOMER HYDRO. THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO THIS IS A GROWING CITY AND AS WE GET BIGGER, UH, WE NEED TO START THINKING BIGGER AND, UH, THINKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN BE MORE INCLUSIVE. FOR THOSE WHO LIVE HERE, UH TO TRY TO NORMALIZE A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT, UH THE FIVE PEOPLE SHOWED UP HERE TONIGHT. UH, TO, UH TO SPEAK AGAINST, AND, UH IT'S ITS OPINIONS LIKE WHAT I JUST HEARD. FOR THE LAST 15 MINUTES. THAT REALLY, UH, ALLOWS FOR PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY A CERTAIN WAY TO FEEL EXCLUDED AND FEEL SHUNNED, UH, IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY. AND I THINK WE'RE BETTER THAN THAT, UM AND I'M NOT SPEAKING TO COUNCILOR OF THE CITY RIGHT NOW.I'M SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO THE FIVE OF YOU WHO SPOKE TONIGHT AND YOU CAN STA SIX OF YOU. YOU CAN STAND HERE, UH ALL DAY AND QUOTE BIBLE, SCRIPTURE AND USE GOD IT IS A SHIELD FOR YOUR DISAPPROVAL AND HATRED. BUT THIS IS IT'S 2024, AND WE LIVE IN A GROWING CITY WHERE THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LIKE YOU , THEN WHO ARE LIKE YOU, AND YOU COULD APPLY THAT ANY NUMBER OF WAYS. INTO THE GENTLEMAN WHO STOOD UP HERE AND USED THE ADOPTION OF SPORTS LEAGUES. UH SPECIAL SPECIAL INTEREST EVENTS, CITING LESS FAN PARTICIPATION. LIKE I AM 0% WORRIED THAT THIS ITEM IS GONNA MAKE THERE BE LESS PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNMENT AND IT TOOK THIS ITEM FOR YOU TO SHOW UP HERE TONIGHT AND TO PARTICIPATE IN GOVERNMENT. TO THAT I YIELD TO THE FLOOR.
RIGHT. SO DO YOU WANNA GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT YOUR ITEM IS? WHAT? WHAT THE REQUEST IS THANK YOU. SO THIS IS NOT A PARADE. IT IS A PRIDE THEMED MARKET DAYS. THAT IS IT. I AM ASKING IN THIS ITEM. FOR A COUNCIL TO CONSIDER. 11 WEEKEND IN OR ONE SATURDAY IN JUNE. TO DISPLAY THE PRIDE.
THEME IN JUNE'S PRIDE MONTH. UH, SO THAT IS, UH, THAT IS WHAT I AM PROPOSING. YEAH. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT PROPOSAL? TRANSFER PARSLEY. LET ME MAKE SURE THAT MY WORDS COME
[00:20:01]
OUT CORRECTLY. UM SO IT IS. I WISH THAT ALL OF THESE EVENTS COULD STAY OUT OF OUR CITY POLITICS. UM, BACK IN 2022. I POSTED AN AGENDA ITEM. TO LIMIT. PARTISAN. BUT A MARKET DAYS JUST FOR THE SAME REASON. AS ONE OF OUR SPEAKERS TODAY CAME TO SAY WHEN YOU GO TO A MARKET PLACE YOU WANT TO ENJOY. YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW. WHO THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU IS GONNA VOTE FOR, UH, WHO ARE THEY SUPPORTING? ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE SUCH A HEATED POLITICAL CLIMATE AND WE HAVE HAD SINCE 2020. YOU WANT TO ENJOY THE MUSIC? THE PEOPLE IF YOU'RE BUYING A BREAD OR FRUIT OR A CRAFT AND SMILE AT YOUR NEIGHBORS, BUT SADLY, WE LIVE IN A IN A WORLD AND SITUATIONS THAT, UM WE ALL HAVE STRONG OPINIONS. UM SO I FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES MY VOICE INTO THESE ISSUES IS A MINORITY. UH, WE SAW THAT WHEN I TRY TO BRING THE PRAYER THE LAST TIME UM AND WE WAS REALLY KICKED OUT. FAST. SO, UM I. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS OUT OF OUR MARKET DAYS. JUST LIKE YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE A STRAIGHT PEOPLE MARKET BASED SO UM SAME THING THAT HAPPENED IN DECEMBER WHEN YOU KNOW THE MENORAH WAS AT IT. I WOULD LIKE A NATIVITY AND THAT WASN'T ADDED, SO LET'S JUST LISTEN TO OUR TAXPAYERS. AND TRY TO AVOID THIS ISSUES AND BRING THEM BACK TO OUR CITY. SO IF SOMEONE COMES UP HERE, HEY, HANG ON. HANG ON. HANG ON. WE'RE GONNA LET EVERYBODY GET TO SAY THEIR PIECE FIRST THAT WANTS TO SPEAK. I'M DONE. OK? ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS.I'M SURE NOBODY WANTS TO SPEAK ON IT. BUT HERE WE ARE. WE GOTTA SPEAK ON IT. IT'S ON THE AGENDA SO I KNOW WE'RE NOT MAYOR, PRO T. WE'RE GONNA JUST GO ONE AT A TIME. OK? SO I HAD TO SIT HERE AND THINK ABOUT IT FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID HERE AND HAS BEEN SAID SO FAR. SO IT'S NO LIE WHERE MY I WERE MY FAITH ON MY SLEEVE ALWAYS HAVE BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MY FAITH HAS TAUGHT ME. IS TO LOVE EVERYBODY, NO MATTER WHAT. AND THOSE WORDS REALLY RESONATE FOR ME. WHEN JESUS WAS TALKING TO HIS DISCIPLES. THEY ASKED HIM HOW DO YOU GET TO HEAVEN? AND HE MADE IT REALLY CLEAR. IT WASN'T A HARD CHOICE. IT SAYS TO LOVE EVERYBODY LIKE I LOVE YOU AND LIKE HE LOVES THE CHURCH, THAT MEANS THAT'S UNENDING LOVE.
THAT'S LOVE FOR EVERYONE, EVERY PERSON NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, WHAT COLOR OR WHO YOU ARE. LOVE IS LOVE. AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE EVERYBODY, NO MATTER WHAT. AND I TAKE THAT TO HEART. UM SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE SAID HERE TODAY KIND OF UPSET ME BECAUSE I MEAN, HONESTLY, I CAN I CAN GET HERE PREACH ALL DAY LONG, BECAUSE I'VE DEFINITELY DONE IT BEFORE. BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T EVER LOOK AT ANYBODY DIFFERENT. I LOOK AT EVERYBODY IN THE SAME LENS. I THINK OF EVERYBODY AS MY BROTHER AND MY SISTER. I'VE NEVER LOOKED DOWN ON ANYONE IN MY LIFE. AND UH, TO HEAR SOME OF THE THINGS I HEARD TODAY ARE REALLY UPSETTING. AND UH, IT FEELS BAD, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS II. I DO THINK, I. I PROBABLY WOULD GET FURTHER BEHIND US. MAYBE A PARADE BECAUSE SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS IN ALL THE CITIES, SO I THINK MAYBE SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE BRING THAT FORWARD IF THERE WAS A NEED FOR IT AND DON'T WANT THAT'D BE GREAT. I. I DEFINITELY WOULD SUPPORT IT, UM UH, WITH THE MARKET DAYS, I. I GUESS I'M KIND OF THINKING ABOUT YOU KNOW IT BEING MARKET DAYS, RIGHT? AND UH, NOT ASSOCIATED WITH SOMETHING ELSE. BUT IF WE AS A CITY WANTED TO SUPPORT SOMETHING ELSE WHEN IT COMES TO MAYBE A PARADE, I DEFINITELY WOULD GET BEHIND IT. SO YOU WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE MY SUPPORT THERE ON THE PARADE. IF YOU WANT TO DO A PARADE. UH, BUT, UH, FOR MARKET DAYS, I THINK MARKET DAYS SHOULD BE MARKET DAYS AND LEAVE IT THERE. BUT IF IN THE FUTURE. YOU WANT TO BRING SOMETHING FOR LIKE, MAYBE A PARADE LIKE EVERY CITY IS DOING RIGHT NOW. I DEFINITELY WOULD SUPPORT IT.
COUNCIL MEMBER. THAT'S FOR RESUMING AGAIN. OH, YES. WELL I, I WOULD JUST PREFER TO TABLE THIS UNTIL WE CAN STUDY THE ISSUE HERE. THE HEAR BOTH HEAR MORE OF THE OTHER SIDE. UM AS I
[00:25:02]
MY FEELINGS ARE JUST YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS. WE'RE WERE BORN. UM WE THINK DIFFERENTLY, BUT I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THIS ITEM TABLED, UH, TO DISCUSS UM MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT THIS ITEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THERE IS TO TABLE THOUGH. LIKE IS THERE GOING TO BE A MARKET DAYS? WITH THE THEME OR NOT. WELL ALL I COULD SAY IS IF WE TABLE IT OR TAKE DIFFERENT ACTION THAN WHAT YOU PROPOSE THE NEXT MEETING. WE'RE GONNA HAVE JUST AS MANY PEOPLE GIVING, YOU KNOW THEIR THOUGHTS FROM THE OTHER SIDE. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO FIND OURSELVES INTO, IS JUST HAVING A GREAT LONG EMOTIONAL DEBATE WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVING DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW ON THE MATTER. SO IF WE TABLE IT, I DON'T WANNA BRING IT BACK. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT YOU KNOW THERE WAS ALREADY PRESSURE. LAST YEAR FOR US TO DO A PRIDE THE MARKET DAYS AND THAT PRESSURE IS NOT GONNA STOP. SO THERE'S NO SCENARIO HERE. YOU MAKE ONE GROUP HAPPY. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE THE OTHER GROUP MAD. WE MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS IN EVERY MEETING, AND IT SEEMS LIKE IN THE LAST YEAR WITH EACH PASSING MEETING, SOME OF THOSE DECISIONS HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT AND MORE AND MORE UNPOPULAR. THIS SHOULD THIS THIS DECISION, AT LEAST IN MY MIND KNOWING THE THIS SIX PEOPLE AND THE SEVENTH WHO'S NOT HERE KNOWING ALL OF YOU INDIVIDUALLY, THIS SHOULD BE A SIMPLE DECISION TO MAKE. AND IF SOMEONE COME CAME UP HERE AND SAID, AND CITIZEN COMMENTS AND COMPLAINED ABOUT, UH, THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION IN IN RELIGIOUS DISPLAYS AS IT PERTAINS TO THE HOLIDAY SEASON, THERE IS A IT WOULD BE A COLD DAY IN HELL BEFORE WE, WE WOULD EVEN CONSIDER THAT PERSON'S OPINION. EVEN IF THEY ARE A TAXPAYER. WE CANNOT USE THAT SIX PEOPLE HERE SHOWING UP TONIGHT AND USING THEM, AS IS THE RULE AND NOT EXCEPTION TO A TOWN OF ALMOST 70,000 PEOPLE. BECAUSE AND I MOVING FORWARD IF WE CONTINUE, I IF THIS DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD, AND THE REASON CITED RIGHT NOW ARE IS WHY I WILL. I WILL CALL I WILL CALL IT OUT WHEN THERE IS WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHEN WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT AND SAY THAT IT'S BECAUSE OF SIX RESIDENTS. COUNCIL FOR HARRIS. IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.THERE HAVE BEEN MANY GROUPS WHO HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND, UM WHOSE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN ABRIDGED. BY US EUROPEAN PEOPLE. THIS WE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OUR LGBT Q COMMUNITY. THEY ARE, UH, DISCRIMINATED AGAINST THEY ARE TALKED ABOUT AND RELIGIOUS TERMS MUCH LIKE I HEARD, UM AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT I, UM I. I WOULD NOT WANT TO PRES.
KID. ENCOURAGE THAT KIND OF DISCRIMINATION. YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR SOME RECOGNITION OF THAT COMMUNITY, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE RECOGNIZING THAT COMMUNITY. MM.
WELL, IF WE CUSTOMERS IF WE TABLE THE ITEM, AND THEY'LL TAKE A VOTE. THEN THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER. NOT HERE. WHO. NO THERE IS A QUORUM SO WE CAN'T WE DON'T REALLY WANNA GO AHEAD, RIZZO. UM MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM. 21 IS WRITTEN SECOND. I MOTION BY THE MAYOR, PRO 10 SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HEISER THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 21. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? YEAH. SO BECAUSE FOR A PARSLEY NO. GO AHEAD. MAYOR UM THERE, THERE'S NO EASY THERE'S NO EASY SOLUTION HERE. SO FOR A FACT, THERE ARE PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE WHO HAVE THEIR MORAL REASONS TO GIVE THEIR ARGUMENTS. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN OF THE OPINION THAT THESE TYPES OF THINGS SHOULD NOT BE A PART OF GOVERNMENT. THAT'S NO SECRET. I DIDN'T BUT THAT CUTS BOTH WAYS. SO I DIDN'T LIKE THE MENORAH, WHICH MAYBE Y'ALL
[00:30:01]
WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PUTTING A MENORAH OUT. I SAW THAT AS A, UM OUTSIDE OF THE BOUNDS OF WHAT YOU KNOW GOVERNMENT CAN SHOULD DO. I WAS AGAINST, UH, ADDING AN INVOCATION. TO START EVERY MEETING. JUST BECAUSE OF THE DYNAMICS OF IT. YOU KNOW, I THINK GENERALLY WE SHOULD BE SORT OF VANILLA AND FOCUSED ON, YOU KNOW, ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE. BUT YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T WANNA GIVE THE HAYES COLD OR WOMEN'S CENTER. MONEY BUT WE HAD A BUNCH OF FOLKS HERE AND THERE WAS A DESIRE TO GIVE GIVE TOWARDS THAT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF CITY GOVERNMENT. IT'S ON AND ON DOWN DOWN DOWN THE LIST, IT GOES BUT YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE DAY, I. I DON'T THINK THIS IS A VERY HEAVY LIFT FOR US TO ALLOW FOR A GROUP TO HAVE A DAY WHERE THEY FEEL CELEBRATED AND WELCOME. I KNOW THERE'S A TON OF FOLKS THAT ARE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO FEEL THAT WAY, UH, AND FEEL VERY HURT BY THE STATEMENTS THAT WERE MADE , UH, EARLIER, UH, I DO. I DO RECOGNIZE THAT I'M FROM A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND. MANY MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY HAVE ECHOED THOSE SIMILAR STATEMENTS. SO IT'S JUST DIFFICULT. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME. BUT I, UM I WILL SUPPORT IT BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT THE CITY WANTS TO GO. UH, GENERALLY I. I WISH THAT IT WASN'T ALWAYS THAT WAY. I DON'T THINK SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE NECESSARILY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE SOMETIMES BECAUSE I THINK WE CHERRY PICK WHAT THAT MEANS. WE HAVE RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS THAT WE SEND FEDERALLY APPROVED, YOU KNOW THAT WE SEND STAFF MEMBERS HOME AND PAY THEM SO THAT THEY CAN GO AND WORSHIP.UH, THAT'S GROWING, SO IT'S NOT ALL JUST CHRISTIANS. SOME OF IT'S UM, JUDAISM SOME OF ITS OTHER RELIGIONS. UM SO, YEAH, I SUPPORT IT. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT WAY I TAKE IT, YOU GUYS WILL HATE ME FOR SUPPORTING IT. VOTE AGAINST IT NEXT WEEK. SOMEONE HATES ME. SO I JUST HAVE TO DECIDE. YOU KNOW, WHAT DO I THINK IS THE IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO WHEN FORCED TO MAKE A DECISION, AND I FULLY BELIEVE THAT EVEN IF WE VOTED IT DOWN IT WOULD COME BACK AND WOULD EVENTUALLY PASS. SO I'M FINE TO ALLOW IT TO MOVE ON. UH, IT'S ALSO AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER FOUR AS WRITTEN, I THINK PROVIDES SOME GUARDRAILS AROUND WHAT WHAT THIS MIGHT BE. IT'S A THEME. FOR ONE OF OUR MARKET DAYS TO ALLOW FOR FOLKS WHO YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE WOULD BE PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME TO THAT. AND SOME WHO WOULDN'T I? I DON'T KNOW. BUT, UM ANYWAY, I SUPPORT IT. I I'LL VOTE FOR IT. SO IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, CANCER OR PARSLEY? I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT I STATE THIS. THIS IS NOT IN MY OPINION AS A DISCRIMINATION. ALL OF IN THIS COUNCIL. I DON'T KNOW IF LAURA LEE KNOWS THAT I MY BEST FRIEND, MY BABY SISTER. SHE IS GAY. AND SHE HAS MY FULL SUPPORT. AND HAS ALWAYS HAD IT. UM I LOVE HER TO DEATH. MOST OF YOU HAVE MET HER AND HER WIFE. UM NOT A SHAME. I'M PROUD OF HER. SHE HAS BEEN IN HERE AND HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH. DIALOGUES. UM WHAT I DON'T BELIEVE IS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A MARKET DAYS OR A THEME. THAT CELEBRATES I DON'T WANNA SOUND HARSH WHO SHE DECIDES TO HAVE SEX WITH. SO UM, THAT'S IN MY OPINION, HOW I SEE IT, SO I WISH THAT THERE I DON'T SEE THE NEED TO DEDICATE A THEME FOR A MARKET DAYS. TO CELEBRATE THAT. THAT DOES NOT MEAN I DO NOT SUPPORT IT. UM SHE HAS MY FULL SUPPORT. I HAVE PLENTY OF FRIENDS WHO ARE PART OF THE LGBT Q COMMUNITY. UM I WISH HONESTLY, THAT THESE THINGS COULD STAY OUT OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE ON. THAT'S ALL I NEED TO SAY ABOUT THAT. I. I JUST THINK THAT THE MARKET DAY THE MAKES SENSE BECAUSE THE PARADE IS ME. THAT'S A STEP FORWARD. NOT AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST, YOU KNOW, ALLOWING FOR DECOR TO BE PLACED IN IF YOU DO A PARADE THAT'S PROBABLY INVITING MORE. I KNOW A LOT OF CITIES HAVE PARADES, BUT AND I GUESS THAT'S PROBABLY THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING. IT'S YOU KNOW, THERE IS A PANDORA'S BOX ELEMENT TO ALL OF THIS THAT I RECOGNIZE, BUT I THINK WE OPENED THAT BOX A FEW MONTHS BACK, UM SO UH, I THINK THERE'S ALSO SOME HYPOCRISY IN THE WAY THAT WE'RE ROLLING THIS OUT, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW LIKE HONESTLY. KIND OF FEEL LIKE I WAS BLINDSIDED WITH THIS IN A WAY. UH AS A LATER MEETING CAME OUT KIND OF LATE. I DON'T LIKE BEING BLINDSIDED. THAT'S ONE THING I HATE. I MEAN, I. I CAN'T STAND IT. I HATE BEING BLINDSIDED, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY HAVE TIME TO REFLECT ON SOMETHING AND, UH, IS DEFINITELY TOUGH, BUT YOU KNOW, UH, WE'RE HERE. SNOW CLOSING IT NOW. ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER

TOTALLY AND THAT WAS A VERY IMPRESSIVE PRESENTATION FROM THE KAYAK BOARD MEMBERS, SO I'M EXCITED FOR THAT. UH, GOOD EVENING. ROSIE TRULLI. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF UPDATE. ON THE MENTAL HEALTH RFP. UM NOW I MAKE IT GO. AND PUSHING THE BUTTON. ANYONE.OK, I WAS DOING THAT. OK MINE. I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY COMPUTER EARLIER WITH CHEAP BARNETT. MAYBE SOMETHING WERE WRONG WITH MY FINGERS. UM SO I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT, UH, THE MENTAL HEALTH RFP AS YOU GUYS KNOW, YOU HAD A PRESENTATION IN DECEMBER FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HEER. WE ISSUED THIS RFP ON JANUARY 8TH OF 2024 PROPOSERS WERE ASKED TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF RESIDENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROPOSALS WERE ALSO ASKED TO IDENTIFY THE TOTAL FUNDING NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT PLAN. WE HAVE $100,000 BUDGETED FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN THE FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGET AND WE HAVE IDENTIFIED HAYES COUNTY IN THE HAYES CONSOLIDATED INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AS POTENTIAL PARTNERS FOR THIS PROJECT, AND I'LL ALSO REMIND YOU ALL THAT YOU KNOW THIS, UM THAT MENTAL HEALTH AND
[00:50:05]
HUMAN SERVICES IS A STRONG COMPONENT OF YOUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY PROGRAMS THAT YOU HAVE, UH, FOR THE COMING YEAR. SO IN RESPONSE TO OUR RFP. WE HAVE SIX PROPOSALS, COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS OF CENTRAL TEXAS GRAY MERCY SPECIALTY CLINIC HILL COUNTRY, MENTAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT, DISABILITY CENTERS. TRUE CARE 24 BETTY'S CO. AND, UH, THE YOUTH ADVOCATE PROGRAMS. UM I'M GONNA BRIEFLY GO THROUGH EACH OF THESE PROPOSALS. SO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT'S CONTAINED IN THEM, UM, FROM COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS, UH, SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED PRIMARILY IN SCHOOLS IN HOME VISITS ARE ARE AVAILABLE AS APPROPRIATE. THIS WILL BE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO RESIDENTS . UM WE ANTICIPATE WITH THEIR PROGRAM THAT THEY'VE PRESENTED THAT THEY WOULD BE SERVING, UH, PROVIDING SERVICES TO 30 RESIDENTS AND FAMILIES ALL UNDER THE AGE OF 18. THE PROPOSED COST FOR THEIR PROGRAMS FOR THE TWO DIFFERENT, SLIGHT ITERATIONS OF THEIR PROGRAMS. UH, 475,000 FOR THE I WANNA GET THE ACRONYM CORRECT FOR THE STUDENT AND FAMILY SUPPORT CO ORDINATION PROGRAM, UH, WHICH IS NOT CURRENTLY FUNDED AND 272,500 FOR, UH, THE ISS. UM, AND MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS. AH, THE GRAMERCY CLINIC PROVIDED A PROPOSAL WHICH WOULD PROVIDE FOR SERVICES PRIMARILY AT A SOUTH AUSTIN CLINIC. UH, THERE WOULD BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IN HOME AND OR SCHOOL VISITS. UH, THE COST TO RESIDENTS WOULD ACTUALLY BE BILLED TO INSURANCE.THEY ANTICIPATED SERVING 210 TO 225 CLIENTS PER WEEK, ALL UNDER THE AGE OF 18 AT A PROPOSED COST OF $381,000. THE HILL COUNTRY, MENTAL HEALTH. UH AND, UM PROPOSAL, UH, PROVIDES, UH, YOUTH WELLNESS CENTERS, UH, CREATED BY THE PROGRAM AT REDUCED OR NO COST TO ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS. UH, THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS THEY ANTICIPATE SERVING IS APPROXIMATELY 100 ALL UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WITH THE PROPOSED COST OF 465,000. UH, THEIR TRUE CARE 24 PROGRAM IS A MOBILE MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC. UH, FROM THEIR PROPOSAL, IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT COST OF ANYTHING WOULD BE TO THE RESIDENTS AND AN UNDEFINED NUMBER OF CLIENTS TO BE SERVED, BUT AGAIN, ALL UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WITH THE PROPOSED COST OF 291,000. UM BETTY'S CO IS A MOBILE CLINIC THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TWO DAYS PER MONTH AND TELEHEALTH COUNSELING SERVICES, UH, COST TO RESIDENTS WOULD DEPEND ON THE SERVICES PROVIDED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF FREE VISITS WOULD BE ALLOCATED EACH MONTH.
UH, THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS TO BE SERVED WOULD BE UP TO 48 STANDARD VISITS PER THE TWO SITE DAYS, UH, AND UP TO 735 COUNSELING SESSIONS PER MONTH, UH, DEMOGRAPHIC OF THE RESIDENTS AGAIN UNDER THE A OF 18. BUT THIS IS MORE OF A HEALTH PROGRAM FOR FEMALES AT OF APPROXIMATELY $100,000. AND THEN, LASTLY, THE YOUTH ADVOCATE PROGRAMS IS PROVIDING, UM, PRIMARILY AT THE YOUTH ADVOCATE PROGRAM OFFICES OR IN HOME, BUT SCHOOL AND TELEHEALTH VISITS ARE AVAILABLE.
UH, THIS WOULD BE A PROGRAM AT NO COST TO RESIDENTS WITH APPROXIMATELY 28 CLIENTS SERVED ANNUALLY, ALL UNDER THE AGE OF 18 AT A PROPOSED COST OF $100,000. WE WANT TO DISCUSS WITH YOU SOME OPTIONS FOR HOW WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD ON THIS, UH, THE FIRST OPTION WOULD BE FOR STAFF TO REVIEW THE PROPOSALS AND BRING BACK A RECOMMENDATION. SECOND OPTION WOULD BE, UH FOR A COUNCIL TASK FORCE TO REVIEW THE PROPOSALS AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OR OPTION. THREE BEING A JOINT PANEL OF CITY COUNTY AND SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICIALS, UH TO REVIEW THE PROPOSALS AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OR OTHER IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS ON THAT, UM, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE OPTION THREE WHERE WE TAKE THE PROPOSALS THAT WE HAVE IN HAND AND WORK WITH OUR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS TO SEE HOW WE CAN BRING SOME PROGRAM OPTIONS BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. UM BUT LOOKING TO GET SOME FEEDBACK ON THE POTENTIAL OPTIONS FOR MOVING FORWARD. OK, ROSIE, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR FEEDBACK? I GENERALLY SUPPORT OPTION THREE. I THINK THAT'S A GOOD PLAN. I KNOW THE COUNTY IS MOVING FORWARD WITH A MAJOR INITIATIVE, SO THIS WOULD BE A GREAT RESOURCE TO ADD TO THAT DISCUSSION AS WE'RE MOVING INTO BUDGET SEASON AND TRYING TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH MENTAL HEALTH. COUNCILOR HARRIS NOW THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE SHOULD DO JUST OUT ON OUR OWN. WE NEED TO BE WELL COORDINATE WITH THE OTHER GROUPS IN THE COUNTY SERVING YOUNG PEOPLE. IT'S GREAT INITIATIVE. UM I'M NOT SURE ANY OF THE PROPOSALS QUITE GOT TO WHERE WE WANT IT TO BE AND MAYBE COUNCIL MEMBER HEISER WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT. THIS KIND OF VAGUE THERE'S MORE DETAIL. THAT'S IN THE PROPOSALS THAT WE WOULD DISCUSS WITH THE AS WE'RE CONSIDERING THE EVALUATIONS. UM AND WE WOULD BUILD ON THEM. FOR
[00:55:05]
WHATEVER RECOMMENDATION WE BROUGHT BACK I. I DID INTENTIONALLY KEEP IT AT A HIGH LEVEL FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE MEETING. OK? YEAH, WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE PROPOSALS. UH, DID ANYONE ELSE OK? UH, LOOK I'M ALL FOR THE SPIRIT OF OPTION THREE. UH, BUT I KNOWING THAT WITHOUT KNOWING IF ANYONE ELSE IS ANY OF THESE JURISDICTIONS WANT TO INVEST? IN DOING THIS. UM I KNOW THAT THEY ALL INVEST THEIR OWN. MONEY OUT OF THEIR OWN BUDGETS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. SO, UM I.I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOTTEN THE FEEDBACK LEADING UP TO THIS POINT. WE'VE GOTTEN THE FEEDBACK FROM ALL OF THOSE JURISDICTIONS. I WOULD BE OK, I. I WOULD BE TOTALLY OPEN TO INCLUDING MATTHEW GONZALEZ, UH, WHO RUNS THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS, UH, A VOICE THAT COULD LEND. UH UH, A CONSULTATIVE VOICE TO STAFF. BUT I MEAN, YOU ALL KNOW THAT I'M A PART OF I THINK FOUR VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE COUNTY WHETHER IT'S MENTAL HEALTH, HOMELESSNESS, UH, SUICIDE PREVENTION. THEY ALL TIE BACK TO THE SAME CONCEPT AND OR OR WHAT? SOME OF THE SAME CONCEPTS AND FOR US TO GO AND TO TRY TO CONVENE A PANEL. KNOWING THAT ALL THESE OTHER THINGS ARE HAPPENING THAT ARE BUTTING HEADS FOR BUDGET. UH, I WOULD JUST DON'T I WOULD JUST BE I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T LIKE THAT IDEA. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF CONFLICTS THAT I DON'T YET UNDERSTAND. UM, AT THIS POINT I WOULD SAY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE INCLUDED THE SCHOOLS. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THAT, UM, CONSIDERATION IS THE CONNECTIVITY TO THE POPULATION THAT WE'RE TRYING TO SERVE WITH THIS PARTICULAR GRANT OR THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM, SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THEM AT THE TABLE. UM IF NOTHING ELSE, THEN TO HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW WE MIGHT ACCESS, UM MORE READILY AND PROVIDE SERVICES. THINGS I WANT TO SAY, BUT I SHOULDN'T MAYOR PRO TEM. YEAH HONESTLY, UM, IF WE'RE GONNA BE SERVING, UH, THE AGE BRACKETS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT AND WE'RE GOING TO SERVE ALL AGES, BUT THAT'S THE RIGHT NOW. SOMETHING THAT WE'RE SEEING IN OUR SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW. WE DEFINITELY HAVE A NEED THERE, I. I DEFINITELY THINK WE'RE STRONGER IN NUMBERS, THE MORE OF US THAT ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, I THINK IS A POSITIVE, SO I DEFINITELY WOULD APPROVE. UH, BE BEHIND AND SUPPORTIVE OPTION THREE. OR IN ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. WHEN WILL WE REVIEW THE PROPOSALS? WHEN WE RECEIVE THEM. I WE CAN BRING BACK, UH OR WORK WITH, UH, WORK WITH THE CITY MANAGER ON A TIMELINE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. I THINK WE WANTED TO GET SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THE PATH FORWARD, AND THEN WE'LL REPORT BACK ON A TIMELINE. UM TO GIVE YOU GUYS AN IDEA OF WHEN IT WOULD BE COMING BACK TO YOU FOR RECOMMENDATION, SO I'M STILL IN FAVOR OF OPTION THREE, THE COLLABORATION INTO LOCAL AND , UH, I UNDERSTAND ISD BEING INVOLVED BECAUSE OF THE YOUTH POPULATION. COUNCILOR HAZARD CAN I WOULD I SHOULD HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE. UH, I THINK OF THERE'S AT LEAST THREE OF THE ENTITIES THAT SUBMITTED THAT ALREADY HAVE EXISTING CONTRACTS WITH SOME WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH THE COUNTY. AND ONE OF THEM HAS CONTRACTS WITH BOTH OF THEM. SO INSTEAD OF CREATING A JOINT PANEL COULD WE BE OK WITH STAFF? ASKING FOR FEEDBACK BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCES OF WORKING.
UH, THROUGH THE DURATION OF THOSE CONTRACTS. THAT WHERE HERS. I WANT TO ASSURE THAT WE'RE JUST NOT DUPLICATING SERVICES THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THERE. AND THAT WE'RE PROUD EITHER PROVIDING SOMETHING UNIQUE OR WE'RE VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHICH SERVICES WERE ENHANCING AND I DON'T THINK WITHOUT I THINK WITHOUT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW THAT WE DO BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ONLY PROVIDES SERVICES WITHIN THE HOURS OF EIGHT AND 5 P.M. AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THROUGH THEIR CONTRACTS WITH T, WHICH IS A STATE FUNDED, UH SUBSIDIZED TELEHEALTH. UM UH, IT'S TELEHEALTH THERAPY. KIDS ONLY GET X NUMBER OF SESSIONS. I THINK IT'S FOUR AND THEN WITH COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS, WHICH IS ANOTHER CONTRACT, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS THE KIDS GET THERAPY WITHIN THE SCHOOLS. IT UH, 10 SCHOOLS WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. BUT THERE THERE'S A MAXIMUM UP TO HOW MANY SESSIONS THEY GET. SO AT SOME POINT IN TIME, THEY ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO RECEIVE ANY SORT OF MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT THROUGH THE
[01:00:06]
SCHOOL DISTRICT BECAUSE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF THE PROGRAMS. SO AH! WE'VE MET WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ALREADY. WE'VE MET WITH THE COUNTY. UH, WITH TWO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WITH THE, UM TWO PEOPLE FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. UH, LOOK, I'M GOING TO GO WITH WHATEVER THE MAJORITY HERE DECIDES, BECAUSE I THIS NEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS ISSUE IS TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU, UH, I SPENT SIX MONTHS MEETING WITH THE EXACT SAME PEOPLE THAT YOU GUYS ARE ARE WANTING TO BE A PART OF THIS, UM, PANEL AND AGAIN, I'LL BE PERFECTLY FINE WITH IT. I JUST DON'T WANT THIS TO SLOW US DOWN BECAUSE WE'RE BRINGING MORE PEOPLE INTO THE EQUATION. UH, IT IT WHEN WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE A DECISION. UH, THAT'S ALL. CAN I ADD MORE PARSLEY? UM HAVE WE REACHED OUT TO OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS WITHIN THE CITY OF KYLE? BECAUSE THOSE CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE SOME OF THE RESOURCES THAT THE I SDS HAVE. AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR US TO HELP. I WORK IN A SCHOOL THAT DOES NOT HAVE THOSE RESOURCES AND THEY CAN DEFINITELY BENEFIT OUT OF THAT. I KNOW IT. UP INTO ANYONE ELSE WANT IS EVERYONE WEIGHED IN ON THIS? I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE'RE GONNA GO WITH OPTION THREE THAT WE, UM, MAKE SURE THAT WE REACH OUT TO CHARTER SCHOOLS. WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. ABSOLUTELY IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT YOU'LL THAT WE COULD THAT YOU ALL WOULD BE OPEN WITH THE STAFF. WITH STAFF. GETTING FEEDBACK. FROM THE COUNTY AND THE HIGH INSTEAD OF CREATING A TASK FORCE. I. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THE RECOMMENDATION OF STAFF IS THAT IT WOULD BE, UM CITY COUNTY AND IS D AND POTENTIALLY, UH, AS AS WE TALKED ABOUT SOMEONE FROM OUR CHARTER SCHOOL THAT WOULD BE STAFF MEMBERS FROM EACH OF THOSE ENTITIES THAT WOULD SERVE ON AN EVALUATION PANEL, AND THEN WE WOULD BRING SOMETHING BACK TO YOU AS A RECOMMENDATION, HOW TO PROCEED. UM IF THE REQUEST IS THAT IT JUST BE STAFF AND THEN WE JUST ASK THEM OPINIONS ABOUT THAT. BUT NOT HAVE THEM ON THE EVALUATION PANEL. I JUST I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REQUEST IS THAT YOU'RE ASKING US TO DO SO FOR THE STAFF TO REACH OUT TO THE INDIVIDUAL ENTITIES LIKE SCHOOLS AND TALK TO THE COUNSELORS. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? WELL I THINK WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING IS THAT WE WOULD HAVE A STAFF MEMBER FROM EACH OF THOSE ENTITIES THAT WOULD BE ON THE EVALUATION PANEL. WE WOULD ALL FULLY EVALUATE EACH PROPOSAL POTENTIALLY HAVE INTERVIEWS DONE WITH THE, UM THE FIRMS THAT WERE MAKING THE PROPOSALS TO US AND THEN WE COULD COME BACK TO YOU AS A COUNCIL AND SAY HERE'S THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THAT DIVERSE GROUP OF PEOPLE. IF IT'S JUST ASKING PEOPLE FROM THESE ENTITIES. WHAT DO THEY THINK IT'S? IT'S DIFFICULT BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE REALLY EVALUATING IT. SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REQUEST IS, IS ARE WE LOOKING TO HAVE THEM BE PART OF THE EVALUATION OR JUST SIMPLY INTERACT WITH THEM ON THE FINAL ONE THAT WE HAVE? I MEAN, I. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU WHAT THE COUNCIL WANTED TO DO AND THAT THAT CASE I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO BE A PART OF THE EVALUATION AGAIN. AND I'M JUST LIKE NO, THIS IS NOT MY BABY PROJECT. IT IS FAIR. BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS WHENEVER WE HAVE THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO BE AVAILABLE FOR TO, YOU KNOW. ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS. BESIDES THE I SDS, THAT'S ALL. MAY T FOR ME. IT'S UH, GETTING THE FEEDBACK AND LET THEM BE A PART OF THE PROCESS BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE INCLUDED, YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO PUT IN THE WORK AND WANT TO GIVE MORE FEEDBACK AND DO SOME RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN AS WELL. UH, IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE MEMBERS ON THAT TASK FORCE, UH SO FOR ME, I'D BE IN SUPPORT OF BRINGING EVERYBODY INTO THE TABLE. I THINK I'M GONNA READ, UH, GATE. WHAT I JUST SAID WAS, UH, WE'RE STRONGER IN NUMBERS. I THINK WE WORKING TOGETHER IN PARTNERSHIPS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE DON'T THOSE KIDS EVERY DAY, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SO HAVING THOSE PARTNERSHIPS INVOLVED, UH, CAN ACTUALLY HELP US STEER IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IF NOT, WE'RE GUESSING AND I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE US GUESSING. IF I CAN SAY ONE MORE THING, MAYOR THE UH, MAYOR PRO TEM, THE IDEA HERE. THE WAS AT SOME POINT FOR BRIAN TO PRESENT THIS TO COMMISSIONER'S COURT. AND TO ASK THEM TO PARTICIPATE. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'M THE RUB IS FOR ME IS LIKE I WANT TO ASK THESE OTHER JURISDICTIONS TO PARTICIPATE. FINANCIALLY IN THIS PROJECT. BUT SO THAT'S WHERE I'M[01:05:04]
HAVING A HARD TIME IF WE'RE GONNA BRING HIM IN AND LET HIM HAVE A SAY IN THE FINAL SELECTION, THEY'VE HAD US THEY ALL OF THE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ASKED TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE WITHIN THOSE ENTITIES ON WHAT THEY'RE DOING, HOW IT'S WORKING. WHAT'S NOT WORKING LIKE HOW MANY KIDS ARE FALLING? ALL OF THE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ASKED, AND NOW I JUST IF I WOULD RATHER ASK THEM TO PARTICIPATE FINANCIALLY. AND THEN IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN LET'S BRING HIM IN. YEAH HONESTLY, IT'S GONNA BE EVERYTHING. IT'S GONNA BE FINANCIALLY. IT'S REVIEWING WHO WE GO WITH, AND IF THEY'RE PUTTING MONEY IN IT, THEY'RE GONNA WANT TO KNOW WHO THEY'RE HIRING AS WELL, YOU KNOW, SO IF THERE'S SUBSIDIZING SOMETHING, THEY'RE GONNA WANT TO KNOW WHERE THEIR DOLLARS ARE GOING. THEY WANNA KNOW THEY WANNA BE A PART OF THE PROCESS IS WHAT I'M SAYING. SO I MEAN, I MEAN THIS. I KNOW. I KNOW, DANIELLE SAID. THIS IS YOUR ITEM. YOU BROUGHT IT UP. BUT AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, YOU KNOW, I'M I'M THINKING ABOUT WHERE THE FUNDING IS COMING FROM WHERE THE FUNDING IS GOING AND WHAT WE'RE DOING TO MOVE THIS FORWARD AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING A FULL EVALUATION FOR ASSESSMENT AND HIRING THE RIGHT COMPANY TO COME OUT AND BE A PART OF THIS. UM SO I THINK, IF THE COUNTY OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS OR EVEN THE CHARTER SCHOOLS WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS, I THINK THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF THE WHOLE PROCESS IS WHAT I'M THINKING. ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE PUTTING FUNDING INTO IT. MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. UH, TO DIRECT STAFF. UH I NEED THAT. OPTIONS. THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE FROM OPTION THREE THINK WE LOSE THAT. DO I NEED TO MAKE A MOTION OR DO WE JUST WHAT WITH THIS BECAUSE IT'S JUST UNDER PRESENTATIONS. SO THE I'LL READ WHAT OPTION THREE IS, WHICH IS THE CONCEPT OF A JOINT PANEL OF CITY COUNTY AND SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICIALS REVIEWING PROPOSALS AND MAKING WORK, UH, PROGRAM PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS. OK WELL, I'M DEFINITELY NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO REPEAT THAT OPTION. THREE. AS I STATED PROBABLY SUFFICIENT. MAYOR I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, DIRECT STAFF TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OPTION THREE. UH AS IT RELATES TO THE MENTAL HEALTH REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILOR HEER SECONDED BY COUNCILOR PARSLEY THAT WE DIRECT STAFF PROCEED WITH OPTION THREE. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL IN FAVOR. SAY AYE, I POST OUR MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT[VI. Consent Agenda]

SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILOR PARSLEY SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS POSTED ITEM SEVEN THROUGH 16. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL IN FAVOR. SAY AYE AYE. ALL POST. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP[17. Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the methodology of the intersection improvements on Marketplace Avenue at Kyle Center Drive and Marketplace Avenue at FM 1626.]
IS AGENDA ITEMS. UH 17 CONSIDER APPROVAL A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A METHODOLOGY OF THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT, UH, MARKETPLACE AVENUE AT CALL CENTER DRIVE MARKETPLACE AVENUE AT 15 AT 1626, MR BARBARA GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. LEON BARBER CITY, YOUR MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I THINK, UM MOST OF YOU HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION AT MARKETPLACE IN 1626, ESPECIALLY ON THE SOUTH SIDE. IT BECAME MORE OF A PROBLEM AS A DEVELOPMENT ON THAT SOUTHWEST CORNER STARTED BUILDING THERE. CHIPOTLE AND ALL THE REST OF THE RESTAURANTS AND THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN STARTING TO BUILD IN THERE. SO UH, FOR SOME TIME, I'VE BEEN KIND OF WATCHING THAT INTERSECTION JUST GET WORSE AND WORSE IS TRYING TO HANDLING THE TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE GOING THROUGH THERE. UH, SO WE HAVE SOME OPTIONS THAT WE WANNA PRESENT TO COUNCIL AND, UH WE'LL SHOW YOU SOME SOLUTIONS THAT WE MAY HAVE TO FIX SOME OF THAT.SO, UH, PROBLEM THERE. OF COURSE , THE BACKGROUND IS THERE'S LACK OF A NORTHBOUND LEFT TURN VEHICLE STORAGE. UH, FROM MARKETPLACE ON THE 1626. YOU JUST HAVE ONE LANE THERE.
TRAFFIC WAITING TO MAKE THE NORTHBOUND LIFT TURN BLOCKS THE INTERSECTION OF THE MARKETPLACE.
IT CALL CENTER DRIVE. IMPEDING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC TO AND FROM CALL CENTER DRIVE. IT'S CREATING TRAFFIC CONFLICTS AND SAFETY HAZARDS. WE'VE HAD 15 CRASHES SINCE, UH, DECEMBER OF 27.
THAT'S THE ONES THAT ARE RECORDED. THEY MAY HAVE BEEN OTHER MINOR ACCIDENTS, BUT THEY WEREN'T REPORTED. UH, SO THAT'S ROUGHLY WHAT TWO A YEAR BUT I ANTICIPATE IT'S GONNA GET WORSE IN THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION. UH RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT 350 FT. FROM CALL CENTER TO 1626 AND,
[01:10:01]
UH, RECOMMENDED MINIMUM DISTANCE WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOULD HAVE BEEN 600 FT. THIS IS ONE OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS, INSTALL TRAFFIC DELINEATES OR MARKETPLACE, UH, TO BRING LEFT TURNS FROM CALL CENTER DRIVE. THIS MEANS THAT TRAFFIC GOING ALMOST LIKE EAST WEST IS NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO DO THAT ANYMORE. THEY'LL HAVE TO MAKE THE LOOP THROUGH ONE OF THE CROSS CUTS IN THE MEDIANS. ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION THERE AT, UH MARKETPLACE. I'M SORRY. THE CALL MARKETPLACE AT THE 1626 LEON SO JUST SAYING THAT NO ONE CAN GO EAST AND WEST ACROSS SO YOU CAN'T JUST CUT STRAIGHT ACROSS. NO, SIR, THAT ELIMINATES A COUPLE OF LEFT TURNS THAT, UH, THAT TO HELP. REDUCE THE, UH, INTERSECTION OF CONFLICTS THAT YOU HAVE THERE. UH, WE'RE GONNA USE DELINEATES OR WE PLAN TO USE DELINEATES. THEY'RE NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE. THEY'RE THEY'RE JUST STICKS ON THE GROUND. AND THEY DO GET HIT. SO THEY ARE MAINTENANCE ISSUE. THEY WILL BECOME A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. WE HAVE DELINEATES ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD. AND THEY'RE DOWN TO ABOUT 10% OF THE INVENTORY IS LEFT. THAT'S RIGHT. UM WE THOUGHT WE WOULD DO THIS AND TRY THIS AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T WORK OUT? THEY THEY CAN BE EASILY TAKEN OUT, BUT THAT THAT'S ONE OF OUR SOLUTIONS TO TRY TO ELIMINATE THAT LEFT TURN LANE FROM CALL CENTER. ADDITIONALLY, UM WE DID LOOK AT THE INTERSECTION ITSELF. WE CAN PUT ANOTHER LANE IN THERE, AND, UH, WE WOULD HAVE TWO LEFT TURN LANES AND ONE STILL GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD AND THEN ONE TURNING RIGHT. THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM IN THERE TO PUT THE FOUR LANES IN THERE. THE ONLY THING IS THAT WE HAVE TO ADD A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. UH, THERE'S THREE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. YOU NEED A SIGNAL FOR EACH LINE SO WE'D HAVE TO ADD 1/4 SIGNAL. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT, UM UH, WE DON'T KNOW HOW SOON THAT WOULD HAPPEN. WE'D HAVE TO CONTACT ONE OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL COMPANIES AND GET THEM FIND OUT WHEN THEIR CREWS ARE AVAILABLE TO INSTALL THAT TRAFFIC SIGNAL ITSELF. INSTALLING THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL ITSELF IS NOT THE BIG ISSUE. IT'S JUST FINDING A CREW TO DO THE WORK. UH WE HAVE TALKED TO THE AREA ENGINEER. HE'S AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE PRO PROPOSING. SO, HE SAID, ONCE WE DECIDED WHAT WE WANT TO DO, JUST TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE'LL BE A QUICK REVIEW FROM THEM. AGAIN THIS WOULD TAKE SOME TIME TO DO THIS PARTICULAR, UH, IMPROVEMENT THERE. SO THOSE ARE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO TRY TO HELP WITH THAT TRAFFIC INTERSECTION. AND OPTION. ONE IS, OF COURSE, IS TO IMPROVE THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AS WE HAVE PROPOSED OPTION TWO IS DO NOT IMPROVE INTERSECTION. IMPROVEMENTS AT ALL. IN OPTION THREE IS COUNCIL PROVIDES THE DIRECTION SO COUNCIL AS THE CITY ENGINEER. I'M APPOINTING ALL HIS ASSISTANT TRAFFIC ENGINEERS TO HELP ME WITH THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR BARBARA? BECAUSE FOR ZUNIGA I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. UM LEON, IT SEEMS LIKE WE ALWAYS WORK ON THIS INTERSECTION.DIDN'T THIS ONE COME BACK WITH VIBE IMPROVEMENTS? A WEEK AGO TWO WEEKS AGO. IT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE. I BELIEVE SO THEY'RE NOT IN THIS EXACT NO, SIR. OTHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. OK? UM, SO WHAT? IS IT SAFER TO GO WITH OPTION TWO? SEEMS LIKE YOU. YOU'RE YOU'RE ADDING YOUR CREATING MORE LANES IN THERE. WE'RE CREATING MORE LANES, BUT THERE'S ENOUGH WITH FOR US TO.
THIS IS GOING TO HELP WITH TRAFFIC. UH, HELPING TRAFFIC STORE IN THERE. SO IT'S THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM. THERE'S PLENTY OF WIDTH THERE TO DO THAT. IF YOU NOTICE THAT RIGHT LANE TODAY IS PRETTY WIDE. SO HOW ARE THE VEHICLES? DECIDING WHO MOVES FIRST? IS IT WHOEVER ARRIVES AT THE FOUR WAY AT THE STOP SIGNS FIRST STOP SIGNS. WHAT? WHAT IS THERE RIGHT NOW? WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME CALL CENTER. YES THERE'S ONLY STOP SIGNS ON THE, UH, GOING EAST WEST. THERE'S ONLY STOP SIGNS THERE. THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL WOULDN'T WORK THERE, EITHER BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT YOU WOULD BACK UP TRAFFIC THE 1626 SO THAT WOULDN'T WORK. IT'S JUST TOO CLOSE INTERSECTIONS TOO CLOSE. AND HOW WILL WE PAY FOR THIS? FUNDING IS THIS AC IP AS WELL OF THE C IP? NO IT'S NOT AC IP. BUT WE HAVE, UH, WE SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS IN PUBLIC WORKS TO FOR THE DELINE IS NOT THAT EXPENSIVE, AND I DON'T EXPECT THE STRAPPING IS GONNA BE THAT BIG OF A EXPENSE EITHER, BUT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE COST THAT THAT THERE I'M NOT. I'M DEFINITELY BE GUESSING IF I TELL YOU WHAT THE COST WOULD BE FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL, SO THE ROAD IS IN GOOD CONDITION. IT'S JUST NEEDS THE DELINEATE THE MARKINGS AND ALL THAT. WE JUST NEED TO ADD THE MARKINGS AND PUT THE DELINEATES IN. THAT WOULD BE IT. ALL RIGHT.
AND WE DID ASK IF, UH, THE CONSULTANT WORKING ON THE NORTH SIDE HAD HAD ANY HAD LOOKED AT THIS AND THEY SAID IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR PLANS. WE KIND OF HOPE THEY HAD DONE WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING THERE, BUT IT'S NOT IN THE PLANS FOR MARKETPLACE ITSELF. AND WE DID NOTIFY THE OWNER OF THE CSW DEVELOPMENT ALSO TALKED TO THE ENGINEER AND TELL THEM BE EXPECTING SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS IN SOME CHANGES IN THE INTERSECTION, SO THEY'RE AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO THERE, AND I HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH THE MAYOR TODAY IS 1626. HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S OUR ROAD? NOT A TECH DO ROAD OR A COUNTY ROAD. THE 1626 CITY ROAD. IT'S TEXTILES ROAD, BUT WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE SIGNALS. SO FOR THE REPAIRS WHO'S REPAIRING THAT ROAD? 1626 WOULD BE TEXTILE. THEY ALWAYS DO THEIR THE OVERLAY AND THE PAVEMENT THAT BREAKS DOWN THAT
[01:15:07]
THAT IS CORRECT. THAT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY, OK? AND MARKETPLACES ARE GOT YOU. COULD YOU GO BACK INTO THE OPTIONS JUST SO I CAN SEE HM? ESSENTIALLY THAT'S JUST BLOCKING IT OFF A TEXT THAT BUT IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE GOING IF YOU'RE GOING SOUTH AND YOU WANNA TURN LEFT, YOU SLIP IN BEHIND THE DELINE SO YOU CAN TURN LEFT. IF YOU'RE GOING SOUTH, YOU CAN TURN LEFT IF YOU'RE GOING NORTH. YOU CANNOT TURN LEFT IF YOU'RE GOING EAST. SO IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE TRYING TO COME OUT THE BACK WAY FROM THE RESTAURANT AND YOU'RE WANTING TO GET ON TO 1626. YOU'D HAVE TO TURN RIGHT AND THEN GO DOWN AND LOOP AROUND AND COME BACK, WHICH IS GONNA THAT IDEA.NOT IDEAL. NO. AND SAME THING IF YOU'RE COMING UP, UH, CALL CENTER DRIVE FROM THE EAST HEADING WEST AND YOU WANT TO TURN LEFT? THERE'S NO WAY TO DO THAT. IT JUST IT NEEDS A ROUNDABOUT. SO I IT IS A VERY IT LOOKS VERY CONFUSING JUST FROM THE MAP HERE, PERFECT FOR A ROUNDABOUT. BRIAN. WHAT I KNOW YOU HAVE A TWO WAY YOU HAVE OPINIONS ON THIS. YOU YOU'D MENTIONED THAT YOU'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE.
YEAH, I. I DEFINITELY THINK THE TRAFFIC IS A REAL PROBLEM IN THE CROSSING IS THE ISSUE. THIS IS I THINK THE SIMPLEST ISSUE CERTAINLY RIGHT NOW, WITH THE DELINEATES. WE CERTAINLY WANT THEM TO LOOK, UM ATTRACTIVE AS AS THEY CAN, FOR WHAT THEY ARE, BUT IT IT WILL PREVENT PEOPLE FROM CROSSING THERE, AND I THINK IT WILL IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW. AND I DEFINITELY LIKE THE ADDITIONAL LANE AND THE ADDITIONAL TURN LANE. I SEE THAT PERSONALLY, UM MANY TIMES A WEEK , JUST DRIVING THROUGH THE IT'S BACKING UP CROSSING INTO THAT AREA AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT. SO THE SO THE PROPOSAL THAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDING IS THAT YES, WE INSTALL THE DELINEATES AND THEN WE ALSO GO FOR THE ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL LANES. YES SIR.
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE RECOMMEND. AND THEN WHEN THE ADDITIONAL LANES ARE ADDED, WILL WE REMOVE THE DELAYS? OR IS THE IS THAT JUST THE PERMANENT FIX? THAT'S A THAT'S A FIX THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROPOSE FOR DOING BOTH OF THOSE THINGS. WE BOTH TOGETHER THEN II. I HAVE TO GO BACK TO MY EXPERIENCE WITH DE DELINEATES IN THE CITY OF KYLE AND THAT THEY ARE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS GOOD WHEN YOU PUT THEM OUT, AND THEN THEY JUST GET TORN DOWN AND THEY DON'T GET REPLACED VERY FAST. SO THE QUESTION IS, IF YOU GO WITH THIS PROPOSAL AND PUT IN THOSE DELINEATIONS, ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP INVENTORY OF REPLACEMENTS IN STOCK SO THAT WHEN THEY'RE OUT, YOU CAN HAVE THEM PUT BACK IN JUST TO HAVE YOUR CREWS GO OUT AND PUT THEM BACK BECAUSE THERE'S THEY'RE GONNA GET TORN UP GUARANTEED. OR OR ARE YOU GONNA LEAVE THEM LIKE BECAUSE IT BOTHERS ME LIKE WHEN I'M PULLING OUT OF EVO AREA, AND THERE'S ALL THOSE DELINEATES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. THERE'S 100 YARDS OF THEM, AND IT'S DESIGNED FOR A REASON. THAT WAY. THEY'RE ALL GONE. THEY'RE ALL GONE. THERE'S LIKE TWO LEFT. IT'S A FAIR POINT. IF WE PUT SOMETHING OUT, WE NEED TO MAINTAIN IT. UH, JUST AND KEEP IT UP IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, SO WE DEFINITELY WILL DO THAT. AND WE SHOULD BE DOING IT FOR THE OTHER DELINEATES TOO. IF THEY'RE OUT THERE, THEY NEED TO BE THE ONLY REASON I HAVE IT LIKE COMPLAINED TO YOU ABOUT IT. IT'S BECAUSE IT'S A TEXTILE ROAD, SO I DIDN'T KNOW MAYBE TECH. STOP PUT THEM OUT. I ACTUALLY HAD THE THOUGHT JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WITH THIS. THIS IS THE CITY ROAD, SO THERE'S NO THERE'S NO ONE FOR US TO SET YOU KNOW TO POINT TO. THIS IS MARKETPLACE, WHICH IS A CITY ROAD, WHICH IS I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS TEXTILE 1626, THE INTERSECTION, THE INTERSECTION. THIS ENTIRE INTERSECTION IS A IS A CITY ISSUE, SO THE LINES WILL GO EXACTLY WHERE THAT LINE THAT IT'S LIKE, KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED IS OH, THAT THOSE DOTS RIGHT THERE WOULD BE ALL THAT'S GOING TO BE HAVE TO BE REPLACED CONSTANTLY. AND SO THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE SPECIAL BUDGET TO CHANGE THOSE EVERY MONTH BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL RUN RUN OVER IT. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT NEEDS TO BE NEXT DAY.
IF WE'RE GONNA DO THAT. THE POLICY NEEDS TO BE LIKE IF DELINEATES ARE REPORTED. IT'S 24 HOURS TO HAVE THEM. WE CAN. WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE PART OF JUST A ROUTINE INSPECTION EVERY WEEK, AT LEAST THAT WE'RE GOING OUT. EVEN IF WE DON'T GET A REPORT THAT WE GO OUT AND LOOK AT THEM, MAKE SURE THEY LOOK GOOD AND THAT WE KEEP UP THAT STANDARD.
IS THERE ANY PERMANENT FIX OR OPTION WHILE RETAINED THAT WE CAN PUT IN THERE DON'T NOT LIKE THE ONE THAT WE HAVE BY COSTCO. BUT LIKE SOME SORT OF, UM SMALL WALL. FORGOT THE NAME OF THOSE YOU'RE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT SOME CURBING THAT WE COULD PUT IN THERE THAT THERE'S A BIGGER COST. NOW, IF YOU START TRYING TO PUT CURBING IN THERE, TOO, SO I MEAN IF THIS TENDS TO WORK, AND IT'S GONNA BE A SOLUTION, THEN UH, WE COULD LOOK AT THAT LATER. BUT THERE WOULD BE A COST FOR THAT FOR INSTALLING CURVING IN THERE. I SAY THAT WE CAN PROBABLY START WITH THE DELINEATES AND THEN GET PEOPLE USED TO THE FACT THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE THERE AND THEN HAVE SOME SORT OF PERMANENT FIX. UM I DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL HAVE TO GET WITH TAX FOR THAT SINCE
[01:20:05]
THAT'S THE ROAD. BUT I KNOW WE'RE GONNA BE CHANGING THAT EVERY MONTH. IN MY ONLY CONCERN WITH THE KING IS THAT IF THEY HIT THE CURVING I'D RATHER THEM HIT THESE THAN THAN CURVING SO BECAUSE IT, UH HOPEFULLY THERE'S ENOUGH LIGHT THERE AT NIGHT TO WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEE THE CURBING. AND THEY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. THIS IS WHY WE BRING WE BROUGHT IT TO YOU. IT'S DIFFICULT. THERE'S NOT A REAL EASY, UH, SOLUTION HERE. THAT I, I THINK, UH, WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I WAS OUT THERE. IF IT WAS ME IS MAYBE GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE DELAYS. BUT ANALYZE IT FOR A ROUNDABOUT IN THE MARKETPLACE AVENUE BUDGET. THE EXTENSION BUDGET FROM THE 2022 ROADS BOND THERE WAS A COUPLE MILLION DOLLARS FOR RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION AND WE JUST NEGOTIATED A DEAL WITH, UM SHELDON TANGLEWOOD AND SAINT DAVID'S TO ACQUIRE THEIR RIGHT AWAY AT NO COST, SO WE'RE IN A POSITION WHERE WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE SOME EXTRA MONEY COMING OUT OF THAT 2022 ROADS BOND AND THIS WOULD BE A PROJECT THAT COULD BE ADDED TO THE SCOPE OF THAT. AND WE COULD TURN THAT INTO A ROUNDABOUT SO THAT NOBODY HAS TO LOSE QUALITY OF LIFE AND NO LONGER BE ABLE TO TURN. IT'S JUST THAT'S THE PERMANENT SOLUTION. IF YOU CAN'T PUT A SIGNAL, AND I DOUBT YOU'D EVEN HAVE TO REALLY ACQUIRE A WHOLE LOT MORE RIGHT AWAY. DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT IT FOR A ROUNDABOUT? THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA ASK IF WE HAVE DONE ANY TRAFFIC STUDIES. WE DIDN'T LOOK AT IT FOR ROUNDABOUT INSTALLATION. NO, WE DID NOT.COULD WE? WE WAIT ON THIS FOR SMIDGE LONGER AND HAVE YOU GO AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT? WELL MY RECOMMENDATION TO YOU IS WE COULD CERTAINLY TAKE A LOOK AT IT AS A ROUNDABOUT. MY RECOMMENDATION IS PROCEED WITH DELINEATIONS. THERE ARE ACCIDENTS. THERE IT IS A TRAFFIC HAZARD. I BELIEVE YOU GO BACK TO THAT BACK TO THE OPTIONS AND TO PROCEED WITH THAT. AND THEN WE COULD BRING YOU BACK SOME OPTIONS. IF WE WERE TO DO A ROUNDABOUT, IT'S STILL A COUPLE OF YEARS AWAY BEFORE SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD ACTUALLY OCCUR. ALL RIGHT. SO CAN CAN WE MAKE A MOTION TO DO OPTION ONE AND TO DIRECT YOU TO STUDY IT FOR A POTENTIAL ROUNDABOUT? CERTAINLY.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THE MOTION WAS MADE BY THE MAYOR SECONDED BY, UH, COUNCILOR. PARSLEY THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM. UH 17 OPTION ONE AND TWO DIRECT STAFF, UH, TO ANALYZE THAT INTERSECTION FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF INSTALLING A ROUNDABOUT. I DIDN'T WANT TO USE MONEY RIGHT AWAY. WITH THE ROAD BARN YET FOR THINGS MOVING FORWARD UNTIL WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT MONEY ON THOSE ROAD BONDS. I'M JUST AFRAID THAT WE START SPENDING IT ON DRAFTING THE NEW PLANS I GET. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED IT. BUT I AGREE WITH YOU. I JUST THINK THAT THIS IS THIS IS A TERRIBLE SOLUTION. IT'S VERY TERRIBLE, BUT MAN, BUT IF WE DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, LOOK, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY. BUT THIS IS, UH THIS IS ACTUALLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. I GET IT AND YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON SAFETY. SO YOU DEFINITELY IF IT SAVES A LIFE, IT SAVES A LIFE BECAUSE IT'S REAL DANGEROUS IN SECTION SO WE DEFINITELY NEED TO DO SOMETHING QUICKLY. NO ONE IS SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO SAVE A LIFE, BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT'S NOT SPEND THE MONEY YET. ALREADY MOVING ON NEW PLANS.
UNTIL WE'VE ALREADY HIT SOME SHOVELS ON THE GROUND WITH THE MONEY WE GOT, AND IF WE SAVE THAT MONEY THEN LET'S USE IT. BECAUSE THERE ARE THERE ARE A LOT OF AREAS THAT ARE DANGEROUS.
NOT JUST THIS AREA. BUT IF YOU'RE IF YOU'LL RECALL ON THE EAST SIDE, I THINK IT WAS THE BUNTON LANE. UH UH. WE ADDED, UH, EXTRA TURN LANES THERE FROM THE SCOPE. WE INCREASE THE SCOPE , BUT IT WAS. IT WAS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE THROUGH THE PROJECT THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE FUNDS. WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. BUT IF IT'S THE CASE THAT WE MAYBE DON'T HAVE TO ACQUIRE A LOT OF RIGHT AWAY OR RELOCATE A LOT OF UTILITIES, AND IT'S REALLY JUST SOME FLAT WORK TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. THERE'S AT LEAST A POSSIBILITY THAT IT COULD BE A FAIRLY AFFORDABLE UH, ROUNDABOUT TO PUT SO THE DIRECTION JUST AS A REMINDER IS TO ANALYZE AND BRING BACK YOUR YOUR, YOU KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS SO ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY? AYE AYE. ALL OPPOSED A MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. THANK YOU, LEON. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP
