FIVE RECEIVE A REPORT. WHOLE DISCUSSION, PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION ON THE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES REGULATING AND PLACING TELECOM EQUIPMENT ON CITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND IMPROVING WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS IN THE CITY. MISS MCCULLUM. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR

[00:45:05]

AND COUNCIL MELISSA MCCULLUM, CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER. I'M EXCITED THAT I GET TO TALK TO YOU GUYS TONIGHT ABOUT, UH, WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION OR TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES ARE CALLED FACILITIES ORDINANCE AND SOME POTENTIAL OPTIONS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT INCREASING CONNECTIVITY WITHIN OUR CITY. SO WITH THAT, AS ALL GREAT PLANNERS , WE HAVE LOTS OF DEFINITIONS.

FOR WHAT, UH, WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES ARE BUT ESSENTIALLY, IT REALLY IS ANYTHING THAT HOLDS A DEVICE THAT CAN COMMUNICATE WIRELESSLY. UM, SO, UH, WITH THAT, UH, THEY'RE USUALLY ON ON, UH, ANTENNAS OR OR POLES. UM, FOR THAT, AND SOMETIMES WE, COLO THEM ON IT EXISTING, UH, WATER TANK, UH, LOCATIONS AND SITES, BUT ESSENTIALLY, UH, WE'RE, UM, LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE. UH COVERAGE IN OUR, UH, KYLE AREA. WE HAVE, UH, RECEIVED COMPLAINTS THAT, UH, RESIDENTS, UM AS WELL AS A FELLOW STAFF MEMBERS, YOU KNOW, HAVE LACK OF COVERAGE IN SOME AREAS. UM YOU KNOW, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT, UM, LOOKING AT ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE TO INCREASE. UH, COVERAGE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. UH, KNOWING THAT, YOU KNOW, LANDLINES ARE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. UH, NOW AS WE CONTINUE, UH, TO HAVE MORE CELL COVERAGE AND JUST, UH BETTER COVERAGE OVERALL IN GENERAL EQUALS LESS DOWNTIME. SO WITH THAT, UH, WE DO LIMIT OR, UM, HAVE RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATED TO A WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES. WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO ELIMINATE ALL OF THOSE, BUT WE ARE POTENTIALLY LOOKING AT A REVISING WHAT SOME OF THOSE STANDARDS ARE, UH, THESE ARE NOT NEW ANYMORE, YOU KNOW, UH, SOME OF OUR WIRELESS UH, TOM LOCATION . UH, FACILITIES. UH, ORDINANCE LANGUAGE IS QUITE OLD. IT PROBABLY NEEDS A FRESH LOOK AND REFRESH ON WHAT THAT IS, UH, BASED ON THE AND THE ADVANCEMENTS THAT WE'VE COME ALONG WITH THAT. SO UM, WE REGULATE EVERYTHING RELATED TO A SETBACKS AND HEIGHTS OF THE STRUCTURES, AND SO WE'RE HOPING WITH KIND OF A LOOK AT WHERE THESE, UH, FACILITIES AND GAPS ARE, UH, THAT WE HAVE THAT WE CAN COME BACK AND POTENTIALLY DO SOME CHANGES TO OUR ORDINANCE. UH TO NOT ONLY PROTECT, UH, OUR CURRENT RESIDENTS THAT ARE HERE BUT ALSO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL OPTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN HAVE A GREATER COVERAGE WITHIN THE CITY. UH, SO WITH THAT, UM, THIS IS KIND OF A MAP. UH THEY'RE VERY PROPRIETARY. OUR OUR CELL PHONE, FRIENDS AND COVERAGE FRIENDS ABOUT, UH, WHERE YOU KNOW, GAPS ARE BUT THEY DID KIND OF IDENTIFY. YOU KNOW OUR OUR 1626 AND KIND OF, UM KOHLER'S AREA AS BEING A GAP, UH, WITH CURRENT, UH, CELL COVERAGE, SO THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY, UH, ACHIEVE OR SEE IF WE GO OUT FOR AN RFP, WHICH IS WHAT, UM, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING AND AGAIN. THIS IS A MAP THAT WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT OUR 11 EXISTING, UH, KIND OF ELEVATED STORAGE TANK OF FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE, UM, DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO MAYBE THESE COULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADDITIONAL AVERAGE. WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO LOCATIONS THAT CURRENTLY HAVE CELL COVERAGE, AND WE ALREADY KNOW THERE'S KIND OF METRICS OR STANDARDS THAT THEY NEED. THEY NEED A SECURE FACILITY FOR THEIR GROUND. MANOW STORAGE EQUIPMENT. UM YOU KNOW, AND, UM THAT USUALLY ONE ANTENNA SUPPORTS UP TO KIND OF FOUR USERS ON ON THE SITE. THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPAND THAT.

BUT THOSE ARE JUST GENERAL RULES OF THUMB KIND OF FOR THE WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES. AND THEN ALSO, UM WE DO HAVE QUITE A FEW STAND ALONE, UH, LEASE AREAS WITHIN THE CITY, BUT, UH, THE RAMIFICATIONS ARE KIND OF PARAMETERS FOR THAT, UH, WE COULD LOOK AT TOO ABOUT POTENTIALLY HAVING OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE ADDITIONAL, UH, LEASE AREAS. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT CITY OWNED PROPERTIES THAT WE DO HAVE, THIS IS JUST KIND OF A GLIMPSE OR VIEW OF, UM WHAT PARCELS THAT WE HAVE IN THE IN THE CITY LIMITS AND AGAIN, POTENTIALLY, UH, THIS COULD PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO INCREASE OUR, UM, TELECOMMUNICATIONS COVERAGE AND AGAIN UNDERSTANDING THAT WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU KNOW, IT'S A PARTNERSHIP THAT WE WOULD BE BUILDING WITH THESE, UH, TOWERS. SO WE'D HAVE TO, UM, SHARE SECURITY, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND WHAT THE VISUAL AND AESTHETICS WOULD BE OF THOSE. WELL AS UM HAVE A PARTNER ON OUR PROPERTY THAT WOULD SHARE IT, YOU KNOW, BUT THE OPPORTUNITIES WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY BETTER COVERAGE AND THEN POTENTIALLY, WE COULD LINK UP WITH SOME TECHNOLOGY AND DO SOME LEASE RATES FOR THESE SO THERE'S LOTS OF, UM, FACILITY PROVIDERS IN THE BUSINESS. THESE ARE JUST SOME THAT HAVE, UM, CURRENT, UH, LOOKS LIKE REGISTERED ANTENNAS IN THE KYLE AREA AS WELL AS PEOPLE THAT HAVE REACHED OUT, UH, FOR KIND OF CELL COVERAGE. SO UH, WITH THAT, UM, I DID A KIND OF A, UM, A SEARCH. UM FOR CITY OF KYLE ACTUALLY USED A CITY HALL FACILITY HERE AND THERE'S 37

[00:50:03]

TOWERS, YOU KNOW, WITH 100 AND NINE DIFFERENT ANTENNA DEVICES WITHIN THE AREA. I THINK DOING AN RFP WOULD HELP US ANALYZE WHERE POTENTIALLY SOME OF THESE EXISTING TOWER FACILITIES ARE, IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL COLATION ABILITIES OR OPPORTUNITIES THAT THESE EXISTING TOWERS AND AGAIN THESE ARE ALL ANTENNAS, SO UNION PACIFIC HAS A LOT OF WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION STUFF ALONG THE RAIL TRACKS, AS WELL AS A LOT OF DIFFERENT KIND OF PROVIDERS. SO IT'S JUST, UH, THE ABILITY WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ABILITY TO KIND OF LEVERAGE. UM, SOME OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE MIGHT HAVE. SO WITH THAT HOPING TO DO AN RFP. TO REALLY LOOK AT OUR CITY FACILITIES OR WATER TANK LOCATIONS, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL OTHER OWNED FACILITIES FOR, UH, LOCATING A ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION. UM LOOKING AT OUR CURRENT, UM, CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE WITH THE TWO TOWER PROVIDERS THAT WE HAVE REALLY KIND OF MAKING, UH, MAKING SURE THAT THOSE ARE ONLINE WITH GOOD PARTNERSHIPS, UH, THAT WE HAVE AND THEN ALSO LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY UPDATING OUR ZONING ORDINANCE TO SUPPORT THESE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE STILL WILL BE RULES AND REGULATIONS BUT BRINGING THOSE MORE IN LINE WITH HOW THEY WOULD WORK FOR US AT THE CITY. SO WITH THAT, I'M HOPING THAT YOU'LL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER. AND REALLY, WE CAN LOOK AT, UH, DIRECTING STAFF WITH WITH THE OPTION ONE OF REALLY LOOKING AT, UM, OPPORTUNITIES AND THEN ALSO LOOKING AT FOR POTENTIAL FUTURE ORDINANCE UPDATES FOR THAT AS WELL.

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS PARTIALLY, I DO HAVE A CUP. I JUST TOOK QUESTIONS SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO DO A REVISION OF WHERE WE CURRENTLY HAVE. ZONING ALLOWED FOR THESE TOWERS CORRECT AND WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPAND ON POTENTIALLY EXPAND THOSE, UM NOW WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE INSTALLATION OF THE STAR WARS THE CITY DOES NOT PAY FOR THAT CORRECT WILL BE THE INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES ARE THE ONES THAT PLACE NOW HAVE THEY REQUESTED. HAVE THEY COME REACH OUT TO THE CITY ASKING FOR WHERE CAN THEY BE LOCATED? YES SO WE HAVE HAD, UH, BOTH WE'VE HAD. UM, SOME, UM TOWER PROVIDERS REQUEST STAND ALONE LOCATION SOMEWHERE WHEN IN OUR CITY AND THE ZONING DOESN'T ALWAYS NECESSARILY, UH, LINE UP, AND THEN WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD REQUESTS TO FORESEE IF THEY COULD TEAM UP ON CITY, UH, OWNED PROPERTIES OR LOCATIONS TO PUT THEM AS WELL. SO IT IS A COMBINATION OF BOTH, ALL RIGHT, AND DO WE HAVE ANY CURRENT TOWERS IN ANY CITY OWNED PROPERTY? WE DO WE HAVE TWO ON, UH, CURRENT WATER TANK LOCATIONS. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING, AND THEN SO WE DON'T PUT THE ANTENNAS THEY PAY. THAT AND WE DO HAVE TO LOOK FOR. OK. THANK YOU, MAYOR. YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY, UM I THINK THIS IS GREAT. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES THAT I'VE BEEN, UH, NEAR THE HIGH SCHOOL WHERE WE'VE GOT A RECEPTION, BUT EVEN OVER BY THE HEB, THERE'S NO RECEPTION. I REMEMBER ONE DAY TRYING TO GET ALONG ONLINE AND CHECK OUT, UH, REVIEW AND DURING WHILE VISITING AAA BUSINESS THERE FOR LUNCH, AND, UM I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE HOW BAD THE SERVICE IS IN THE CITY OF C. I MEAN, THERE'S DEAD SPACES ALL OVER TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD BE GREAT. I'D LIKE TO ALSO , UH, EMPHASIZE THAT WE'VE GOT NEW ELEVATION TANKS COMING INTO THE CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, UH, PUT TAKE THOSE INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL. AND II. I THINK THIS WOULD BE AN AWESOME TO, UH, GET RID OF THOSE DEAD SPOTS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CITY. AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, I I'D LIKE TO, UM RECOMMEND THAT WE, UH APPROVE. OPTION ONE FOR, UH UH, GENDER ITEM NUMBER FIVE MAYOR MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM SECONDED BY CUSTOMER, HE THAT WE APPROVE OPTION NUMBER ONE DIRECTING STAFF TO ISSUE THE RFP STANDARD AGREEMENT AND REVIEWING AND UPDATING OUR ORDINANCES. THEIR DISCUSSION OF THE MOTION BECAUSE WE'RE TOBIAS. JUST REAL QUICK. UM I THINK I READ IT ONE TIME THAT WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THE WI FI, YOU HAVE SO MUCH CROSS SIGNALS GOING ON. I WONDER IF THAT ALSO COULD BE PART OF IT, TOO, CAUSE THERE'S SO MANY SIGNALS THAT ARE GOING AROUND. WITH TO SOCIETY ITSELF. I WONDER IF THAT HELP DOES THAT PART OF THE DEAD SPACE OR THE WE? SOMETIMES YOU GO IN ONE AREA AND YOU GET THE SPINNING WHEEL AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU DON'T ON YOUR PHONE ON YOUR BUT THEN AGAIN THAT THAT'S JUST I. I WILL DEFINITELY ASK. IT'S AN INTERESTING TOPIC. I MEAN, AS WE ALL KNOW OUR AREA IS GROWING SO MUCH, AND AS YOU BRING IN NEW PEOPLE AND NEW TECHNO, I MEAN, MY WATCH IS CONNECTED. MY PHONE IS CONNECTED. SO EVERY KIND OF INTERNET OF THING DEVICE THAT TALKS TO THOSE TOWERS JUST MULTIPLIES KIND OF USERS. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST INTERESTING HOW THAT WORKS. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. UH, INCREASING CELL SERVICE HAS BEEN, UH, ONE OF THE MY TOP PRIORITIES FOR A WHILE. IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. SO PART OF WHAT BROUGHT THIS ALL ABOUT WAS ACTUALLY AN EXCURSION TO FRISCO. WE WERE, UH, DRIVING AROUND IN A BUS WITH THEIR PARKS AND REC DIRECTOR, UH, WHO WAS EXPLAINING HOW THE CITY OF FRISCO WAS ABLE TO USE THEIR WATER TOWERS TO NOT

[00:55:08]

ONLY INCREASE AND BOOST SERVICE BUT ALSO DRAW REVENUES THAT OFFSET PROPERTY TAXES? THEY SAID. THEY, UH DREW A MILLION A YEAR ON FEES FROM CELL TOWER PROVIDERS. PUTTING IT SEEMED LIKE THE HOUSE IS SMART, SMART MOVE BEING SMART, SO WE'RE TRYING TO. WE'RE TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE WEIGHTS AND NOT ONLY BOOST SERVICE BUT ALSO GENERATE REVENUE. AND OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE A FEW TOWERS THAT WE WANNA BE CAREFUL ABOUT, LIKE ONE IN PARTICULAR, UH, NOT MAKING, UH, NOT MAKING A. YOU KNOW, AN AESTHETIC PROBLEM, YOU KNOW, NOT MAKING IT LOOK WORSE, BUT IT SEEMED TO ME THAT FRISCO HAD PUT TOGETHER A PRETTY GOOD MODEL FOR HOW TO DO THAT. THEY HAD A LOT OF DESIGN REGULATION. AROUND WHERE THEY COULD GO AND HOW THEY WOULD BE MAINTAINED. SO I THINK FOLLOWING THAT MODEL WOULD JUST BE GOOD FOR EVERYONE. I'LL SEE. DOWNSIDE SO I'D LOVE TO SEE US.

PURSUE THAT. AND IN THAT VEIN, DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF TIMELINE FOR WE'RE GOING TO ISSUE THE RFP. THEN RP IS COMING BACK THEN WE'RE GONNA NEGOTIATE AND WE THINK THAT BEST CASE SCENARIO.

WE'RE GOING TO START SEEING INCREASED CELL SERVICE AND REVENUE FOR THE CITY. MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION WHEN I THINK THE RFP PROCESS WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I THINK, UM OBVIOUSLY , UM, DEPENDING ON THE RESPONSE YOU GET THERE'S SOME I. I MEAN, THE REQUEST I'VE GOT HAVE BEEN VERY SIMILAR AREAS. SO YOU KNOW ALL THAT KIND OF PROVIDERS. THEY KIND OF HAVE THIS MIDDLE MAN THAT BUILDS THE TOWERS, YOU KNOW, IS REALLY KIND OF TRYING TO FIND A GOOD SPOT FOR THE END USERS, UM, BEING A CELL PHONE COMPANY IN A COUPLE AREAS, SO I THINK SOME OF THOSE WOULD COME ONLINE, UH SOONER, BUT THEN HOPEFULLY WE HAVE A GOOD LAYOUT AND PATH TO BRING ADDITIONAL, UM POWERS IN WHEN OUR CITY CONTINUES TO GROW, AND MORE POPULATION CONTINUES TO EXPAND.

THAT'S A GOOD SHOT AT ANSWERING. I THINK, UM, HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING LATE SUMMER BE ABLE TO BRING YOU SOME KIND OF CONTRACT BACK AND THEN BASED ON THE PROVIDERS, THEY CAN OUTLINE THE TIME TIME FRAMES. I THINK EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM HAS PROBABLY BEEN FRUSTRATED AT TIMES WITH CELL SERVICE AND KYLE AND SO WE WANNA MOVE QUICKLY. UH, DRAFTING THE CONTRACTS IS VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT HOW YOU ACCESS THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE AND THE USE OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. SO WE'VE GOT SOME EXPERIENCE, UH, AND THE TEAM OF DOING THOSE THINGS SO WE CAN DO RELATIVELY QUICKLY, BUT OUR GOAL IS BRINGING BRINGING SOMETHING BACK IN LATE SUMMER.

WE WOULD HAVE A PLAN AND THEN TRY TO ROLL IT OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THESE ARE DONE IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT AREAS, SO I DON'T THINK IT'S A YEAR'S TYPE. QUESTION IS PROBABLY MONTHS.

KNOW THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, HOPEFULLY BRING ABLE TO BRING SOMETHING BACK. BUT I DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC NUMBER. HOPEFULLY, BY THE END OF THE YEAR SOMETHING AT LEAST A COUPLE LOCATIONS COULD BE A ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM? RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY II, I POST MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU, MELISSA. OUR NEXT

[6) Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the construction activity of the Alliance Water segment "C" pipeline. ]

UP AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER SIX RECEIVE A REPORT WHOLE DISCUSSION FRIDAY STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE, UH ARWA SEGMENT. C PIPELINE, MR MOORE.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. UH, I HAVE A FEW ITEMS I WANT TO GO OVER WITH YOU TONIGHT. FIRST OF ALL, A REMINDER ABOUT WHO ALLIANCE REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY IS, UH WE WERE DEVELOPED TO RESOLVE LONG TERM WATER NEEDS OF OUR SPONSORS IN 2007. WE WERE FORMED AS THE HAYES CALDWELL PUBLIC UTILITY AGENCY. WE CONVERTED OVER TO THE ALLIANCE REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY 10 YEARS LATER IN 2017 . WE ONLY PROVIDE WATER ON A WHOLESALE BASIS. WE HAVE NO RETAIL CUSTOMERS, AND WE'RE GOVERNED BY A 13 MEMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT'S APPOINTED BY THE SPONSORS. THOSE SPONSORS INCLUDE THE CITY OF KYLE CITY OF SAN MARCUS BUAH, AS WELL AS CANE REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY, UH, ON THE SCREEN THAT SHOWS THE ROUGH PERCENTAGE SPLIT BETWEEN ENTITIES, UH, CITY OF K IS 28.17% THE PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION IS PROPORTIONAL TO HOW MUCH WATER AND HOW MUCH IS PAID, UH TO THE ENTITY TO DEVELOP THE NEW WATER SUPPLIES.

SO TONIGHT. SPECIFICALLY I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON CONSTRUCTION OF WHAT WE CALL OUR SEGMENT C PROJECT. UM ON THE SCREEN IN GREEN IS THE SEGMENT C PIPELINE THAT STARTS AT THE SOUTH END OF MAXWELL AND THEN GOES THROUGH MULTIPLE AREAS OF THE CITY OF KYLE, WHICH IS SHOWN THERE IN PURPLE, UH, INCLUDING DELIVERY POINTS TO, UM AT THE 1626 BOOSTER PUMP STATION, AS WELL AS THE NEW WATERSTONE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S UNDERWAY, SO THAT CONTRACT WAS AWARDED BY OUR BOARD. UM, EARLIER THIS YEAR TO MCKEE UTILITY CONTRACTORS, WE ISSUED THE TO PROCEED TO THAT CONTRACTOR FOR APRIL 15TH SO ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THE PROJECT OVERALL INCLUDES 16 MILES OF 30 TO 42 INCH PIPELINE, ANOTHER SIX MILES OF 12 TO 24 INCH PIPELINES. WE'VE GOT TO CROSS UNDER. I 35 TWICE WITH THE TUNNELS WE'VE GOT TO CROSS UNDER THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD IN THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, SO THAT'S THREE ADDITIONAL TUNNELS. AND THEN WE HAVE OVER TWO DOZEN ROAD CROSSINGS THAT ARE GOVERNED BY TECH DOT HAYES COUNTY AND THE CITY OF CAR. SO IT'S A LARGE PROJECT. UM AND YOU'LL SEE LOTS OF ACTIVITY HERE. MOVING FORWARD OVER THE NEXT, UH, NEXT 18 MONTHS OR SO. SO ORIGINALLY THE SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT. UM WE HAD INTENDED, UH

[01:00:04]

AND REQUIRED THAT THE CONTRACTOR BASICALLY BE ABLE TO BUILD THE PIPELINE UP TO WHERE THE WATERS STONE DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE. BY JANUARY, MID JANUARY OF 2025, AND THEN THE REST OF IT BY THE END OF OCTOBER OF 2025. WE WERE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY NEGOTIATE WITH A CONTRACTOR TO SPEED UP THAT SCHEDULE SIGNIFICANTLY AND SO FOR ALL OF THE PIPELINES EXCEPT WHAT WE CALL LINE TWO, WHICH IS THERE ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER? ALL OF THOSE PIPELINES WILL BUILT BY THE END OF FEBRUARY, 2025, INCLUDING UP TO THE 1626 PUMP STATION, WHICH IS A MAIN ARTERY RIGHT NOW, FOR THE CITY OF KYLE. THE REMAINING PIPELINE LINE TWO WILL BE COMPLETED, UH, AGAIN BY THE REGULAR SCHEDULE OF OCTOBER 31ST OF 2025, SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE THE PROJECT, UH, TO BE ABLE TO BRING THE WATER ONLINE A LITTLE BIT MORE QUICKLY. IN PARTICULAR. UH, YOU MAY ALREADY START TO SEE SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ONGOING BY THE CONTRACTOR. UH, LINE THREE, WHICH IS KIND OF STARTS THERE IN THE MIDDLE AND GOES TO THE EAST. UH, THE CONTRACTORS ALREADY STARTED ON THAT EFFORT, CLEARING EASEMENTS AND STARTED INSTALLING PIPELINE THAT IS A 12 INCH LINE, SO THAT'S THE SMALLER PIPELINE. THAT MATERIAL IS READILY AVAILABLE. THEY'RE ABLE TO GET STARTED A LITTLE BIT MORE QUICKLY ON THAT THEY ARE INTENDING TO CLEAR EASEMENTS OVER THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROJECT AND ARE MOVING QUICKLY TO DO THAT. AND THEN I WANTED TO POINT OUT ONE OF THE KEY ASPECTS YOU'LL TO SEE HERE VERY SOON OR THAT SOME OF THE MAJOR TUNNEL AREAS WHERE THEY'VE GOT TO CROSS . I'VE HIGHLIGHTED THE FOUR HERE , UM DOWN, STARTING AT THE SOUTH END THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD AND MAXWELL, UM THEN MOVING UP TO NUMBER TWO. WHICH IS THE UH, RAILROAD AGAIN NEAR COALISH CROSSING BEHIND AUSTIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE. AND THEN THE THIRD CROSSING OF I 35 NEAR, UH, KYLE CROSSING JUST BEHIND THE LOWS AND PLUM CREEK IN THAT AREA, AND THEN FINALLY, A COMBINED 35 AND UP, UH, ARE OUR RAILROAD NEAR ROLAND LAND ON THE SOUTH SIDE? UH I WANT TO POINT THIS OUT BECAUSE THE CONTRACTOR IS GONNA START DIGGING THESE LARGE TUNNELS, AND THEN THEY WILL, UH LARGE SHAFTS, AND THEN THEY WILL CONNECT THE TWO SHAFTS BY TUNNELS. AND SO WHAT YOU WILL SEE, AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE AS WE CROSSED SH 130 WHERE THIS WAS DONE ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THIS PHOTO. IT'S A 40 FT DIAMETER SHAFT. AND SO THEY'RE GONNA START EXCAVATING THESE SOON IN THE AREA, SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF ACTIVITY. WHEN THIS IS DONE, IT'LL BE PROTECTED THE NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE SITES SO THAT WE WON'T HAVE ACCIDENTS WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO GET TOO CLOSE TO IT.

UH, BUT I WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE THERE'LL BE SIGNIFICANT, UH, ONGOING EFFORT HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE AS THEY START THOSE, UH, EXCAVATIONS FOR THOSE SHAFTS AND THEN ULTIMATELY HERE IN THE NEXT , YOU KNOW, BY BY LATER THIS FALL TIME FRAME, WE EXPECT TO HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT PIPE CREWS INSTALLING PIPE ALL ACROSS THE CITY. THEY'RE GONNA BE HITTING IT IN MANY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, TRYING TO MEET THEIR SCHEDULE THAT THEY HAVE SO THE NEXT STEPS , UH, CONTRACTOR IS WORKING ON PRODUCTION OF THE LARGER DIAMETER PIPELINES. THAT'S FOR THE 24 TO 42 INCH LINES. THEY EXPECT TO START THAT INSTALLATION OF THOSE LINES IN THE SUMMER. JULY AUGUST TIME FRAME IS WHAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY OUTLINING. THEY ARE CONTINUING TO UPDATE THEIR SCHEDULE AS THEY GET A LITTLE BIT MORE FEEDBACK ON, UH, WHEN THOSE PIPES ARE GOING TO BE READY AND MANUFACTURED, AND SO MY COMMITMENT TO YOU IS, I'LL COME BACK HERE LATER THIS SUMMER AND GIVE YOU MORE UPDATES AS WE GET A LITTLE BIT FIRMER GRASP IS WHAT THAT SCHEDULE IS LOOKING LIKE, UH, AS WE KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE LOTS OF ACTIVITY IN THE CITY, AND WE WILL KEEP YOU ABREAST OF OUR EFFORTS AS WE CONTINUE FORWARD. SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. COUNCILOR. UH HARRIS. YEAH, I AS A FAIRLY NEW CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND A BRAND NEW MEMBER ON THE I WOOD BOARD FROM THE CITY OF KYLE. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT ORIENTATIONS THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME. IT HELPED ME UNDERSTAND SO MUCH BETTER. THE CONDITION OF THE CARRIZO AQUIFER WHERE YOU'RE WELL, IT WELLS ARE, UM HOW THESE PIPELINES ARE GOING TO GO IN WHERE THE WATER WILL BE PROCESSED, UM, AS WELL AS AN UNDERSTANDING THAT, UH, THERE IS A PHASE TOO. UM THAT YOU WILL BE ENTERING INTO. NOT NOT TOO LONG FROM NOW, SO I REALLY THIS WHOLE, UM GO A LONG WAY, PERHAPS ALL THE WAY TO SOLVING OUR WATER PROBLEMS HERE IN KYLE AND THANK YOU AND THE ALLIANCE IS, YOU KNOW EVERYBODY'S DRINKING OUT OF THE SAME WELL, LITERALLY, UM, SO IT'S REALLY CRITICAL THAT ALL OF US ARE COLLABORATING ON THESE EFFORTS SO THAT IT'S A GREAT GROUP. REALLY IS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING YOU. THANK YOU. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. WE APPROACH HIM. THANK YOU FOR THE TIMELINE. UH, ONE OF THE THINGS I'D LIKE TO AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. I KNOW WE'VE GOT OUR BOARD, BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE, UH, REPORTS QUARTERLY REPORTS COMING IN WHERE WE ARE WITH THE PROGRESS, UH, WITH OUR PIPELINE. UM ONE REASON IS THAT WE NEED TO WE NEED THE WATER. WE NEED THIS LINE INSTALLED, AND, UH, I. I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE LATER THAN WHAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO COME IN AS A CITY, SO I DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THE PROGRESS. BUT HAVING THAT QUARTERLY, UH, REPORT WILL HELP US KEEP TRACK OF IT AND KEEP AN EYE ON IT. YOU KNOW, I LOVE THAT THERE'S PARTS

[01:05:02]

OF IT THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE MATERIAL NOT WAITING ON MATERIAL. SO JUMPING OVER TO ANOTHER AREA AND WORKING ON IT. I I'M REALLY ENCOURAGED BY THAT, YOU KNOW, FORESIGHT IN DOING THAT, SO THAT THAT'S PROMISING, BUT REALLY, I, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MOVING EXPONENTIALLY ON THIS PIPELINE AND GETTING OUR WATER HERE TO CALL THAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING ON FOR A WHILE, BUT, UH, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO APPRECIATE IT. MY PLEASURE.

BECAUSE WE'RE PARTIALLY, UM, SO I WOULD APPRECIATE LIKE, UH, MAYOR PRETEND RIZZO IS TALKING ABOUT, UM, HAVING YOU GUYS TO TELL US WHERE WE ARE AT THE PROJECT IS IMPORTANT. ALSO ANY DELAYS SO IT DOESN'T GET US BY SURPRISE. IF YOU GUYS ARE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH, LIKE U PR R, OR IF THERE IS ANY EASEMENTS THAT YOU CAN ACQUIRE STUFF LIKE THAT, AND WE ARE NOT LEFT IN THE BLANK ON LIKE, WHERE ARE WE GOING WITH THE WATER SITUATION? SO UM, THAT WOULD BE A BIG DEAL.

ALSO, IF THERE IS GONNA BE AN WRAPS AND IN TRAFFIC FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION WITH THE RESIDENTS . I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE GONNA BE TUNNELING, BUT JUST JUST IN CASE YES, MA'AM. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. WE ARE TUNNELING UNDER ALL OF OUR ROADS, SO THERE WILL NOT BE ANY, UH, DETOURS OR ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO ENACT FOR INSTALLATION OF THE PIPELINES. FOR IT TO BE, YES, IS. IS THAT SOMETHING ALSO WITH THE TIMELINE THAT ALSO SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNICATIONS, UH, DEPARTMENT CAN WORK ON AND SAY THAT YOU KNOW, IN THIS AREA OF TOWN GET READY FOR THIS TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION AND SO FORTH, AND, UH, THAT'S BASICALLY UPDATE THE RESIDENTS. I'VE HAD SOME REACH OUT TO ME AND SAID, HEY, THEY'RE DIGGING UP A BIG OLD HOLE. COULD YOU TELL US WHAT THAT'S ABOUT, JUST TO GIVE THEM UPDATES ON THAT END, SO THE COUNTER ON BOTH MAYOR PRO TEM AND MS PARSLEY? WE DO GET CONSTANT QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR WATER IN THE CITY. OK WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF WATER. WE'RE BUYING WATER HERE. WE'RE BUYING WATER THERE. AT LEAST WE CAN SHOW THAT WE'RE PROACTIVELY TRYING TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES, INCLUDING QUARTERLY UPDATES, LIKE WITH MAYORS, PRO TEE AND HOW WE CAN GET UPDATES ON THAT END, SO THAT WAY WE ALREADY KNOW . HEY THIS IS THE NEXT MEETING. IT'S GONNA BE COMING FORWARD. IT HAPPENS EVERY QUARTER AND YOU KNOW TO STAY TUNED AND AS FAR AS THE MATERIALS GO, WHAT TYPE OF PIPING? IS IT GOING TO BE USED? IS IT GONNA BE LIKE, UH, IRON CAST OR IS IT SOMETHING? SOMETHING ELSE. IT IT VARIES.

THE 12 INCH PIPELINE THAT'S GOING IN NOW IS PV C, SO IT'S A PLASTIC MATERIAL. UH, THE LARGER PIPELINES ARE A CONCRETE PIPE WITH A STEEL INNER LINER ON IT, SO IT'S A IT'S A STRONG MATERIAL , UH, THAT IS USED COMMONLY FOR WATER PIPELINES THROUGHOUT THE AREA. HOW IS IT? HOW IS IT THOSE PIPES DONE OUT HERE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS REGION OF CENTRAL TEXAS, WITH ALL THE BEDROCK UH, THEY DO QUITE WELL, WE HAVE. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE BETTING RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE PIPELINES.

WE'VE GOT SPECIAL MATERIALS THAT THEY PUT IN THAT ACTUALLY ACT AS A SUPPORT FOR THOSE PIPES, AND THEY'VE GOT TO COMPACT THAT AND WE HAVE TESTING TO CONFIRM THAT THEY'RE GETTING THE CORRECT COMPACTION ON THAT TO PROVIDE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY TO SUPPORT THE PIPELINES. UM BUT IT'S FINE. IT'S A LITTLE HARDER TO DIG IN THE ROCK OUT HERE SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE THE CONTRACTORS A LITTLE BIT LONGER, BUT WE PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION IN OUR BIDDING DOCUMENTS, SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THE WHEN THEY GET INTO THE SOILS WITH THE HEART OF ROCK, AND THAT DON'T EXPECT THAT'LL BE AN ISSUE EITHER. I. I JUST GO BY MY EXPERIENCE GROWING UP ON A RANCH THAT YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE YEARS YOU'LL HAVE A BUSTED PIPE SOMEWHERE NEAR SEE A LITTLE LAGOON OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, AND YOU'RE WONDERING WHERE THAT CAME FROM. WE DO HAVE COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONTRACTORS ARE INSTALLING IT OR PLAN IT'S BACK, ALONG WITH THE MATERIAL TESTING TO TRY AND HEAD OFF ANY OF THOSE PROBLEMS. SOUNDS GOOD.

THANK YOU. ARE YOU SO WHAT'S THE DEPTH OF THE PIPE THAT'S GETTING BURIED AND ARE YOU ENCOUNTERING ANY GAS LINES ALONG THE WAY? AND ALSO WHAT IS THE LIFETIME OF THE PIPES? AS A COUNCIL MEMBER? TOBIAS WAS REFERRING TO, UH SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO REDIG AND REPAIR. BROKEN PIPES IN THE FUTURE. SO THE PIPELINE THE 12 INCH LINE IS BURIED AT LEAST 4 FT. DEEP IN MANY CASES, IT'S DEEPER THAN THAT. THE REMAINING PIPELINES ARE AT LEAST 5, FT. DEEP AND AGAIN MANY TIMES. THEY ARE DEEPER THAN THAT. JUST DEPENDING ON WHAT WE'RE HEADED ACROSS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GAS LINE CROSSINGS THAT WE HAVE, AND SO WE'RE HAVING TO GENERALLY GO UNDERNEATH THOSE, UH, PIPELINES AND DEAL WITH THAT, AND WE'VE GOT THE APPROVALS FROM THOSE DIFFERENT OPERATING COMPANIES TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. UM YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE ALREADY INSTALLED ABOUT 55. A PIPE, UH, WITH HIS OVERALL PROGRAM. AND SO WHILE THIS ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT EFFORT OF THE CHALLENGE. HERE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS GOING ON IN THE AREA AND COORDINATING WITH THAT AND THE TRAFFIC VERSUS SOME OF THEORIES WE'VE HAD IN THE OTHER PIPELINE SEGMENTS, BUT IN TERMS OF THE STRAIGHT CONSTRUCTION, THESE ARE ALL STANDARD ROUTINE THINGS THAT THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DEAL WITH SUCCESSFULLY, UH, TO GET THE REST OF THE SYSTEM CONSTRUCTED. SO THE 5 FT IS JUST A GOOD DEPTH THAT YOU DON'T HIT IT, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TOO DEEP TO REPAIR IT. THAT'S RIGHT. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WERE DEEP ENOUGH SO THAT WE WERE YOU

[01:10:02]

KNOW UNLIKELY TO GET SOMETHING. UH YOU ALSO WANNA OBVIOUSLY STAY DEEP ENOUGH SO THAT IF WE HAD A PARTICULARLY COLD SNAP, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FREEZING B. BUT THERE'S STILL YOU KNOW, COULD BE ROAD CONTRACTORS THAT OCCASIONALLY, YOU KNOW, MAY HAVE A PROBLEM IN AND HIT A LINE. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN AN ONGOING BASIS, AS WITH ANY UTILITY SYSTEM, SO OVER COMING FROM YOU, AND I'M SEEING THE BLACK PIPE 16 INCH PIPE. IS THAT PART OF THE ARWA COMING? NO, I BELIEVE THAT IS COUNTY. ESPECIALLY UTILITY DISTRICTS. PIPELINE THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE DIGGING SOMETHING DEEP TO UM VERY LARGE.

I'VE SEEN THAT PIPELINE. THAT IS NOT OURS. I BELIEVE THAT IS COUNTY LINE SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICTS PROJECT. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. UM, I THINK, I. I APPRECIATE SEEING THIS. MY PLEASURE COUNCIL KISER. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE CLARIFICATION. MICHAEL WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT UPDATES. UH, WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT UPDATES BEFORE, ARE YOU SIMILAR TO WHAT RACHEL DOES WITH, UH, CONSTRUCTION AND TRAFFIC FLOW. OK, AS I THOUGHT, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YEAH, WE CAN PROVIDE THOSE MAPS OF ANTICIPATED. WE GET MONTHLY UPDATES TO OUR BOARD AND SO WE CAN TRANSLATE THAT OVER FOR THIS PARTICULAR SEGMENT THAT FOCUSES ON HERE IS THE ANTICIPATED INTERRUPTION THAT THE UPCOMING OR THE AREAS WHERE THEY'LL BE ACTIVE AND THAT WAY THAT COULD BE TRANSFERRED OVER TO THE C'S WEBSITE. WHEREVER YOU WANT TO BROADCAST THAT INFORMATION, BE CONSTRUCTION STARTING NEXT WEEK, AND THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON. IF YOU'LL SEE THE PIPE STARTING TO BE DELIVERED. THAT'LL BE BIG TRUCKS IN THE AREA. BRIAN IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS CAN HANDLE AND COULD COMMIT TO SIR. COULD YOU REPEAT THAT QUESTION? I WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING FOR MORE REGULAR UPDATES. ON THE INTERVALS LIKE QUARTERLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE'RE GETTING INFORMATION ABOUT BECAUSE WE'LL BE GLAD TO DO THAT, UH, LAURA LEE, AND, UH, I SIT ON THE BOARD. WE WORK WITH GRAHAM EXTENSIVELY, SO WE'RE GLAD TO BRING SOMETHING BACK. AND I THINK TO THE POINT ABOUT HAVING, UM, SOME REGULAR UPDATES TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL. WE CAN PUT SOME OF THAT INFORMATION OUT, SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT'S COMING, BUT, UH, WE'RE WE'RE WORKING VERY HARD WITH ARWA TO GET THE IMPROVEMENTS HERE VERY QUICKLY FEBRUARY OF 25 TO BE MAKING IT PUBLIC THAT YOU KNOW WE ARE WORKING ON OUR WATER ISSUE AND YOU SEE CONSTRUCTION? THERE'S A VISIBLE SIGN THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE PROGRESS ON IT. THAT TIM AND EVERYBODY UP HERE ONCE. YES, SIR. WE'LL BE GLAD TO DO IT. I. I KNOW THE ANSWER, GRAHAM, BUT, UM, WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE WASTE WATER LINES AND WATER LINES IN THE SAME DITCHES, RIGHT? UH, THERE THERE ARE RULES THAT THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REQUIRE FOR SEPARATION FOR DEPTH FOR OTHER AREAS THAT THEY THEY ARE FREQUENTLY PUT IN THE SAME CORRIDOR. UM BUT THERE THERE ARE SOME REGULATIONS. YOU'VE GOT TO ABIDE BY IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE A CONTAMINATION ISSUE POTABLE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM, SO I WAS GOING TO SAY, BRIAN. THERE'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY THERE TO PUT IN ALL OUR WASTE WATER LINES.

THROUGHOUT THE CITY. WHICH I KNOW I KNOW WE CAN'T DO BUT BUT NO, NO, NO. RIGHT BELOW THE WATER LINE. JUST TURN THE PIPE AROUND. SEND IT BACK. THEY'RE GONNA BE IN TWO DIFFERENT TYPES.

THEY'RE IN DIFFERENT PIPES. WE'RE WORKING ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT. RIGHT MAYBE NOT QUITE THAT ALL ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. DO YOU NEED ACTION FROM US ON? NO, SIR. THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP A G, A SEVEN RECEIVE REPORT HOLD DISCUSSION

[7) Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding a Property Improvement Program.]

FOR STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, MR MCCULLUM WELCOME BACK. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MELISSA MCCULLUM CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER AGAIN AND I'M BACK TO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER PROGRAM. UH, WE'RE HOPING TO DO WHICH IS THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. SO THIS IS, UH, A KIND OF AN EXCITING, UH, PROGRAM. UH FOR US, AS WE, UM, HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT, UH, CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF TO REALLY LOOK AT PROVIDING A PROGRAM TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE FOR THOSE IN NEED AND OUR COMMUNITY ARE REALLY CENTERED IN AND RELATED TO, UH, PROPERTY MAINTENANCE OF PRIVATE. OF PROPERTY. SO UM, THINGS THAT IMPACT HEALTH AND SAFETY, UM, TALL WEEDS AND GRASS , POTENTIALLY A DILAPIDATED OR DANGEROUS STRUCTURES AS WELL AS UM, GENERAL PROPERTY NEGLECT. SO WE DO CURRENTLY HAVE, UH, THE BUDGET FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR? 16,000 WE'RE LOOKING AT ASKING, UH, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR FOR NEXT YEAR TO INCREASE THAT AT AN ADDITIONAL 4000 ALSO UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ALSO HAVE SOME MONEY SET ASIDE FOR, UH, COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT WE'RE HOPING TO TAILOR TO COMMUNITY. UP EVENTS. UH, SO WITH THAT, UH, CURRENTLY WE HAVE IT IN THE BUDGET, BUT NOT REALLY A GOOD PROGRAM SET UP FOR THIS PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING TO ESTABLISH THE PROGRAM. UM AND WITH THAT WE ARE GOING TO PARTNER UH, WITH A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP THOSE IN NEED. UH, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT PROVIDING A LIST OF ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES, UH, THAT CURRENTLY PROVIDE AN AID. UM OR, UM, OUR RESIDENTS, AND WE'RE HOPING TO BE A CLEARING HOUSE OR A ONE STOP,

[01:15:03]

UM, INFORMATION FOR THAT, AND WE'RE HOPING TO HELP OUT WITH SOME OF THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF TALL WEEDS OF GRASS, A DANGEROUS STRUCTURES AND THEN, UH, TARGETED OUT WITH CLEAN UP EVENTS AND OUTREACH AND EDUCATION RELATED TO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE. SO WITH OUR PARTNERS ORGANIZATIONS WILL REALLY LOOK AT NOT ONLY HAVING FLYERS BUT A DEDICATED, UH, PART OF OUR WEB PAGE. UH, TO REALLY HIGHLIGHT, UM SOME OF OUR PARTNERS IN THIS AND THEN HELPING WITH, UH, CONNECTING. UM OUR, UH, RESIDENTS WITH THOSE ORGANIZATIONS AND THEN UM, WE'LL LOOK AT WORKING TOWARDS HAVING AN APPLICATION AND ELIGIBILITY PROCESS. UH, FOR THIS, UH, FOR THOSE THAT ARE WANTING TO, UH, PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. SO WE DO HAVE SEVERAL, UH SOMETIMES PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE A HARD TIME , UM, MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY. UH, DUE TO, UM LACK OF OUR PHYSICAL ABILITY. SO WORKING AT, UM UH, ABATING, THE TALL WEEDS AND GRASS. UM AND THEN POTENTIALLY EVEN CONTRACTING OUT WITH MOWING SERVICES. UH, TO HELP, UM, MAINTAIN THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY. AND THEN, UM, HAZARDOUS STRUCTURES IS ANOTHER, UM, THING, THERE'S QUITE A FEW, UH, STRUCTURES THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS IDENTIFIED. LUCKILY THESE STRUCTURES ARE VACANT, BUT REALLY LOOKING AT, UM UH, LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN, UM YEAH, UM, EITHER BOARDED A HUB OR ACTUALLY TAKE DOWN SOME OF THESE, UH, DILAPIDATED, UH, STRUCTURES, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT A NUISANCE FOR SAFETY, BUT AS WELL AS, UM, A SAFE, UH, OVERALL SAFETY, UM, WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT DOING KIND OF THE TERTIARY OR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. CLEAN UP AGAINST EVENTS REALLY KIND OF TARGETING, UM POTENTIAL AREAS WITH, UH, HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF ILLEGAL DUMPING OR TRASH AND DEBRIS. UH, WE DO HAVE A T DS R CONTRACT PROVIDER. UH, THAT DOES, UM, IN OUR CONTRACT. WE HAVE SOME, UH, YOU KNOW, NORMAL KIND OF BULKY PICKUP, HELPING EDUCATE, YOU KNOW, UH, RESIDENTS ON WHAT THOSE ARE, AND THEN MAYBE EVEN HELPING THEM CALL THOSE BULKY PICKUPS IN IF NEEDED, AS WELL, AS, UM, UTILIZING SOME OF OUR, UH, CONTRACT DUMPSTERS, YOU KNOW, FOR A CLEAN UP EVENT AND ACTIVITIES THAT WE COULD DO. AND THEN, UH, WE'RE HOPING TO ALSO ROUND THIS OUT WITH, UM, EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. UM IN OUR QUARTERLY MAILERS AGAIN THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, UH, WORKING WITH OHOAS TO HELP DISTRIBUTE THIS INFORMATION AS WELL. UM SO, UH, THERE'S LOTS OF COMMUNICATION OPPORTUNITIES AND TOOLS THAT WE CAN WORK ON. UH, FOR THIS, UM PROPERTY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. AND THEN OUR NEXT STEPS ARE REALLY TO, UM, REALLY KIND OF, UH, WORK OUT THE SPECIFICS, UH, FOR THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR, UH , POTENTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THIS, UH, REALLY WORKING ON OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH COMPONENTS, AND THEN, UM, YOU KNOW, TARGETING POTENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP EVENTS ON THE BEST, UH, TIME FOR THAT AND THEN LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL BUDGET FUNDING THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. WITH THAT. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH, UH, CONCLUDES MY, UM, PRESENTATION AS WELL. THERE'S SEVERAL OPTIONS ON THIS AS WELL, UH, STAFF IS HOPING THAT, UM, YOU ARE THAT YOU AS COUNCIL WILL SUPPORT US WITH WORKING ON THE NEXT STEPS OF IMPLEMENTING THIS PROGRAM. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MELISSA. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR FEEDBACK CUSTOMER HEISER? THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND THANK YOU, MELISSA AND BRIAN AND STAFF FOR PUTTING TOGETHER UH, AND WORKING ON THIS PROGRAM. I THINK IT'S UH A HUGE VALUE ADD TO OUR EVER GROWING COMMUNITY. UM AND I MEET MORE AND MORE PEOPLE EVERY WEEK WHO ARE SHARE STORIES. OF HAVING NEEDS THAT AREN'T BEING MET, AND IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS THEMSELVES AND NEED ASSISTANCE. SO I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT THIS IS IN FRONT OF US. AND UM I. I LIKE WHAT I SEE HERE. UM I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON BUDGET, BUT I'LL SHARE THEM FOR RIGHT NOW. OR I'LL SAVE THEM FOR NOW AND LET SOME OTHER FOLKS UM WEIGH IN WITH SOME FEEDBACK BECAUSE WE'RE PARSLEY. THANK YOU. SO I THINK YOU WERE TOUCHING ON SOMETHING THAT I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT AND IT'S LIKE WHO QUALIFIES BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE IS PEOPLE WHO JUST LIKE WANTS TO NEGLECT THEIR YARDS AND SAY, I'M JUST GONNA WAIT FOR SOMEBODY FROM THE CITY TO GET TIRED OF SEEING MY TALL GRASS. AND THEN COME AND MO IT FOR US. SO I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT THE OTHER THING IS, I DO KNOW OF A COUPLE OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT LIKE TO, UM HELP THE CITY AND DO CLEAN UPS TO INCLUDE A COUPLE OF CHURCHES. UM THERE ARE VOLUNTEERS, EVEN FOR SCHOOLS THAT ARE EAGER TO CLEAN UP PARKS , UM, OR VOLUNTEER WITH THE CITY . SO MAYBE ESTABLISHING THAT, YOU KNOW ORGANIZATION ROSTER TO SEE WHO WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH GOOD BUT THE ONE THING I DO NOT

[01:20:05]

WANNA SEE IS THIS GETTING ABUSED? I AGREE. MAYOR, PRO TEMP IT'S FUNNY THAT YOU'VE GOT THE SORRY IT'S FUNNY THAT YOU'VE GOT THE PICTURE OF THIS HOUSE ON HERE. AND THE REASON WHY IS THAT THIS? THIS HOMEOWNER REACHED OUT TO ME LAST WEEK. UH, TRYING TO GET THIS HOUSE CLEARED.

UNFORTUNATELY YOU KNOW, THEY, UH , FINANCIALLY CHALLENGED A LITTLE BIT. THEY'VE BEEN LONG TIME RESIDENTS OF KYLE AND THEY'RE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I I DID REACH OUT TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE I KNOW BACK IN THE DAY FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD THIS, UH, PROGRAM WHERE THEY'D COME OUT AND BURN AN OLD STRUCTURE FOR YOU SO THEY COULD DO SOME TRAINING. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S NOT ALLOWED ANYMORE. SO UH, THE STATE DEF DEFINITELY CAME BACK AND SAID NOPE. YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT ANYMORE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE OSHA OR SOMEBODY. BUT ANYWAY, UM, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK THAT WE REALLY NEED TO TAKE IN CONSIDERATION BECAUSE WE DO HAVE RESIDENTS OUT THERE THAT HAVE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME. OR EVEN IF THEY'VE BEEN HERE A SHORT TIME THAT CAN'T YOU KNOW, THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN IMPACTED BY A FIRE. AND NOW YOU KNOW, WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP THEM? YOU KNOW TO, YOU KNOW, MOVE THE STRUCTURE OUT THERE. IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW IT. IT'S THERE IS A FINE LINE ON IT, YOU KNOW? BECAUSE ARE THEY GONNA ECONOMICALLY GET YOU KNOW, RAISED UP OR SOMETHING? RIGHT, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS SOMEBODY THAT'S LOOKING TO MOVE. THEY'RE JUST HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING THE STRUCTURE OUT OF THERE. UH BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC CHALLENGES THEY ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. SO I. I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THIS PROGRAM IS SOMETHING WE CAN REALLY LOOK AT AND FIGURE OUT GUIDELINES AS WELL. BUT THE OTHER THING IS ON THE DUMPING. I THINK, UH, SOME OF OUR ISSUES AS WELL WITH THE DUMPING IS THAT AS A CITY WE HAVEN'T DONE A GREAT JOB OF PROMOTING WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE. AND THAT'S OUR MONTHLY, UH, TRASH DISPOSAL AT T DS FOR FREE FOR 111 TIME A MONTH. YOU CAN TAKE YOUR WATER BILL. YOU CAN DUMP A TRUCK LOAD OF TRASH AT T DS EVERY MONTH FOR FREE AND SOMETHING I DON'T THINK AS A CITY WE'RE PROMOTING ENOUGH. I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE PROMOTION ON THAT. MAYBE SOME VIDEOS I KNOW ARE ARE COMMUNICATIONS ARE ARE YOU KNOW, COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT IS REALLY GOOD AT THAT. SO BRINGING OUT SOMETHING REALLY GOOD TO EDUCATE FOLKS.

BUT WHEN WE'RE DOING THE T DS, UH CONTRACT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY AS A COUNCIL STIPULATED WAS TRYING TO CLEAN UP OUR ROADWAYS AND DOING THAT CONTRACT WITH T DS AND BEING ALLOWING OUR RESIDENTS TO DUMP ONCE A MONTH WAS IMPORTANT TO US, AND I THINK WE'VE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF C SOME OF THE ROADWAYS, BUT THERE'S STILL PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH ON IT. SO GETTING THAT INFORMATION AND KEEPING IT CURRENT, SO WE DON'T JUST DO IT ONE TIME. WE NEED TO DO IT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. UH SO THAT WAY PEOPLE REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE THIS OPTION FOR THEM. THEY DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE BIG TRASH CLEANUP DAY. WHEN WE HAVE THE LINES ALL UP HERE. THEY CAN DO IT ONCE A MONTH. ON THEIR OWN IN THEIR TIME AS WELL. BUT UH, THANK YOU FOR THIS REPORT. AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOU ALL ARE DOING STAFF APPRECIATE IT.

ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK CUSTOMER TO MAKE MINE REAL QUICK. OK, UM WHEN IT COMES TO THE PRIVATE PROPERTY. I KNOW I'VE GOT SOME ISSUES OUT IN STEEPLECHASE, ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE, UM BACK AREAS WHERE THE WITH THE ACTUAL CANALS LEAD UP, SO I GUESS WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE LEGAL ISSUES AS FAR AS WHAT WE WOULD HAVE TO BE REQUIRED TO GET ON, UM, INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THAT. AND THEN HOW WOULD WE WORK WITH OUR HOAS? BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF THE HOES HAVE CONTRACTS. THAT CLEAN UP THEIR FRONT AREA, AND YOU'VE GOT SOME NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DON'T HAVE ONE. SO WE WANT TO BE FAIR AND BALANCED ON THAT END, SO I THINK WORKING WITH THEM ON THAT IF WE EVER DECIDE TO DO A NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP WE WOULD WORK WITH THEM AS WELL. IF IT GETS TO THAT POINT, ABS, ABSOLUTELY. I THINK OF COURSE WE WOULD TARGET PROBABLY THE AREAS THAT THAT NEEDED IT THE MOST, BUT BUT ABSOLUTELY I THINK, UM, BACK TO, UM JUST KIND OF INFORMING AND EDUCATE. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF FLYERS AND DIFFERENT THINGS WE CAN PUT TOGETHER REGARDING OUR BULKY PICKUP AND THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. THANK YOU.

SO YEAH, JUST ON THE CRITERIA. WHAT QUALIFIES? I'M ALREADY GETTING A RESPONSE. IT'S ABOUT INOPERABLE VEHICLES WHO'S GONNA MOVE THOSE AND ALSO FOR LANDLORDS, MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT JUST CLEANING UP A HOUSE AT A LANDLORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SO JUST THESE KINDS OF QUESTIONS , BUT I THINK THAT THEY CAN BE RESOLVED IN A SMALL BUDGET KIND OF PROGRAM. SO THANK YOU. HEER FOR BRINGING THIS UP. THANK YOU. UM, I APPRECIATE THAT. IT JUST ONE THING AND BUT. WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER PARSLEY SAID IN REGARD TO NONPROFITS AND THIRD PARTY ORGANIZATIONS COMING IN TO HELP AND PROMOTING THIS IN A WAY. WHERE PEOPLE CAN HELP PEOPLE, I THINK IS THE ONLY THING THAT'S MISSING FROM WHAT MY ORIGINAL INTENTION WAS WITH THIS. IS THAT I WOULD LIKE US TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO TRY TO FOSTER A SENSE OF COMMUNITY WHEN PEOPLE DO RAISE THEIR HAND AND ASK FOR HELP THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WE DON'T HAVE TO JUMP IN AND BE THE ONES TO HELP, BUT WE ABSOLUTELY CAN CONNECT PEOPLE TO THOSE RESOURCES THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WHICH IS WHERE THE

[01:25:05]

BUDGETARY COMMENT CAME IN, UH, WAS COMING IN BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF THE THINGS AT LEAST FROM MY ORIGINAL THOUGHT CAN BE HANDLED. UM AND DONE. FREE JUST BY PEOPLE COMMITTING THEIR TIME.

UH AND THEN SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PROPOSAL ARE A LITTLE HEAVIER LIFT, WHICH MIGHT REQUIRE SOME BUDGET AND SOME ASSISTANCE. UM SO I'M WAS THE BUDGET. 23 5 WAS THAT I THINK SO. WE CURRENTLY HAVE, UM 888, I THINK. 17 5. WE HAVE A 16 PLUS A +35 CURRENTLY FOR SOME CLEANUP EVENTS, AND THEN WE WERE ASKING FOR AN INITIAL FOUR TO KIND OF ROUND OUT 24 DILAPIDATED AND, UM AND THEN UH, UH, STRUCTURES AND THEN KEEPING THE 3000 FOR, UM, CLEANUP EVENTS. OK, UM. WELL I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST WE BUMP INTO 25 LIKE 23. 5 IS JUST AN ODD NUMBER. AND MAYBE THERE'S A REASON BEHIND IT. BUT LIKE, IS THERE SOME SORT OF COST THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT COST $500. UH, SO WITH THAT I WELL, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY, UH ANYTHING ELSE TO SHARE. ANY ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? NO OK WITH THAT, UH, MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO UH, DIRECT STAFF TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM WITH AMENDMENTS AND THAT AMENDMENT B THAT WE INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR THE 2425 FISCAL YEAR TO $25,000. SECOND OUR MOTION BY K HEER SECONDED BY THE MAYOR PRO TEM THAT WE INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR THIS PROGRAM TO 25,000 EVEN AS THEIR DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION. ALL IN FAVOR. SAY AYE. ALL POST ALL MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0 TO INCREASE THE BUDGET STILL GOT TO MAKE THE MOTION ON OPTION ONE. OR OPTION TWO. THAT I DO SOMETHING WRONG. WE DIDN'T DO SOMETHING WRONG. WE'VE AMENDED BUT WE STILL HAVEN'T APPROVED.

SO OPTION ONE IS PROPOSED. WHAT WE JUST APPROVED? YES, CORRECT. OK UH, MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM AS NEWLY PROPOSED SECOND. OUR MOTION BY COUNCILOR HEISER SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER ZUNIGA THAT WE DIRECT STAFF TO PROCEED WITH OPTION NUMBER ONE AS AMENDED TO $25,000. IS THERE DISCUSSION THE MOTION. SO DO WE HAVE MORE AMENDING THE BUDGET INSTEAD OF 15 TO 25? FOR THE WHOLE YEAR FROM 23 5 23,500 UP $1500 TO 25,000. THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET SO THAT A BUDGET THAT SHE'LL PUT INTO THE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. AND THEN MAY I HAVE WE EVER IMPLEMENTED THIS BEFORE? NO CORRECT. IT'S NOT. IT'S BEEN NEW PROGRAM, OK? I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE SAYING LET'S GO AHEAD AND THROW THE DOLLAR OUT THERE. BUT WE HAVE, BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROGRAM'S GONNA WORK. UH, IF I COULD, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL THAT IT IT'S SIMPLY A STARTING POINT FOR US AS A NEW PROGRAM, AND WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS EVALUATE THE OVERALL EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAM AND THE FUNDING AND THEN IF WE NEED MORE FUNDING TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THE GOALS OR LESS, WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU AND TALK ABOUT THAT AT A LATER TIME, BUT THESE ARE SOME DOLLARS THAT WE HAD IDENTIFIED IN THE CURRENT BUDGET TO GET US STARTED WITH IT . AND THEN AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE CAN CERTAINLY MODIFY THAT AS WE GO AS NEEDED, BUT IT'S I THINK WE JUST SAID IT'S A NEW PROGRAM, SO WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH IS NEEDED HONESTLY. OK, SO HOW MANY REQUESTS HAVE WE EVER GOTTEN? I'M JUST CURIOUS. TO DO THIS IN THE PAST. WE WE'VE HAD SOME INTEREST, BUT I THINK SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A PROGRAM ESTABLISHED LIKE IT DIDN'T IT JUST DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE. UH WITH WITH TRACTION, SO, I, I THINK WE'RE HOPING WITH THIS PROGRAM, REALLY IDENTIFYING AND GETTING PARTNERS AND THEN REALLY KIND OF HAVING A FULL A FULL PROGRAM TO OFFER I'VE TYPICALLY SEEN IT IN CITIES THIS SIZE THAT YOU KNOW, SOMEWHERE IN THAT 25 TO $40,000 RANGE HAS BEEN MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS THAT COME IN. UM IT COULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE HERE A LITTLE BIT LESS, BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOME FOLKS THAT NEED A LITTLE ASSISTANCE TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE. THEY JUST DON'T SIMPLY HAVE THE RESOURCES.

THEY WANT TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AND THIS IS A PROGRAM BASED ON ELIGIBLE CRITERIA THAT WE WOULD HAVE A WAY TO CONNECT THEM. HOPEFULLY THERE'S SOME OTHER NONPROFITS AND OTHER RESOURCES THAT WOULD CONNECT THEM WITH AS WELL. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANNA HELP TRYING TO HELP PUT A LITTLE BIT OF PRECISION TO THAT. SO ONCE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED WHO QUALIFIES FOR THE PROGRAM? IS THIS GOING TO COME BACK TO US? WE CAN. WE CAN BRING THE CRITERIA FOR

[01:30:02]

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PROGRAM TO YOU IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT, BUT I THINK OTHERWISE, WE WOULDN'T BRING EACH INDIVIDUAL CASE FOR APPROVAL BEFORE COUNCIL NOW. THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS HAVE YOU ADOPT THE PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND THEN ONCE THE GUIDELINES ARE ESTABLISHED IN THE PROGRAM RUNS, AND THEN PERIODICALLY WE CAN COME BACK AND BRING YOU UPDATES OF HOW EFFECTIVE IT IS, IF WE NEED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT. HEY. IF THIS WE TRY THIS AND IT DOESN'T WORK, AND IT'S NOT ACTUALLY BENEFITING THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY, THEN WE DON'T DO IT ANYMORE. WELL I'M NOT TRYING TO FIGHT. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T GET YOU BECAUSE THEN I'M I'M WITH YOU AND I HAVE YOU KNOW, I LIKE MY GRASS VERY SHORT. AND MAYBE MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR DOESN'T AND WHAT I DON'T WANT IS MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR TO, UH, ABUSE THE PROGRAM. AND BECAUSE, UM, IT IT IS A POSSIBILITY. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M I'M MAKING SURE THAT ORGANIZED ESTABLISHES, AND THERE ARE WELL, THAT'S THE CRITERIA THE CRITERIA WOULD YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A DEMONSTRATED NEED OF WHY YOU CANNOT HAVE UPKEEP ON YOUR HOME. YOU HAVE SOME FINANCIAL DEMONSTRATIVE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY A DISABILITY, SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S BEYOND. I JUST DON'T WANT TO MOW MY GRASS AND I WANT THE CITY TO DO IT. THAT'S YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE TO DO THAT THROUGH CODE, THEN THERE'S A LIEN PROCESS AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE DO. UM THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THAT. WE WOULD DEFINE WHEN YOU REALLY YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR PROPERTY UP, BUT FOR VARIOUS REASONS YOU CAN'T FOR JUST MIGHT ADD ONE MORE THING. AND THAT'S I. I SEE EXACTLY WHERE SHE'S COMING AT, BECAUSE AGAIN IF YOU'VE GOT NEIGHBORS THAT ARE NOT UPKEEPING THEIR YARD. AND THEY JUST GOT A LOT OF STUFF IN THERE, AND THEY LIVE IN AN HO, A AND OK, IT'S LIKE, WELL, I CAN'T KEEP MY HOUSE UP TO DATE. I'M GETTING CODE ENFORCEMENT, KNOCKING ON MY DOOR ALONG WITH THE HOAS KNOCKING ON MY DOOR.

ALONG WITH THE COMPANIES THEY USE. THEN AGAIN, WHO QUALIFIES IF THEY SAY OK, WELL, ALL I GOTTA DO IS PUT AN APPLICATION IN AND THEY'LL COME CLEAN IT UP ONCE A YEAR OR I QUALIFY. BUT I, I GUESS IT'S JUST AGAIN A BRAND NEW PROGRAM. YOU'RE TRYING TO GET ALL OF THE NUTS AND BOLTS TO IT. AND THEN CROSSING THE TS AND THEN BUT LOOKING AT IT FROM ALL DIFFERENT ANGLES, BECAUSE SOME MAY SAY THAT I COULD REALLY USE THIS HELP. AND I THINK THE FEAR THAT MISS PARSLEY IS HAVING. AND I THINK I MAYBE UNDERSTAND HER IS THAT SHE HAS A FEELING THAT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE JUST GONNA LET THEIR YARDS GO. WHATEVER AND YOU KNOW NOTHING'S GONNA HAPPEN. THEY COULD JUST HAVE THE CITY.

THE TAXPAYERS END UP CLEANING UP THEIR YARD. BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE WITH MR HEER SAYING IS THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT NEED THE HELP. THEY HAVE RUN DOWN HOMES THEY HAVE HAVE, YOU KNOW, LIKE, SAY AFTER A STORM FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, AFTER A STORM THAT WE HAD WITH THE ICE STORM IN THE LAST YEAR, WHEN WE HAD ALL THOSE BRANCHES FALL DOWN, YOU KNOW THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT SAID I. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO HIRE A CHAINSAW PERSON TO COME OUT AND CUT DOWN THE BRANCHES. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT CAN QUALIFY FOR? THAT? IS THIS KIND OF A PROGRAM THAT CAN LIGHT UP IN THAT. I THINK MAYBE IT COULD. I WILL SAY EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS USUALLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT CRITERIA ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. SO THIS WOULD BE, UM, REALLY KIND OF A PROGRAM SET UP TO HELP PEOPLE. I'VE SEEN IT. WHEN I WAS IN GEORGETOWN. WE DID IT THERE. WE LINKED UP WITH THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT DID SOMETHING , IT REALLY WASN'T ABUSED.

HONESTLY UM PEOPLE? SADLY I. I THINK CODE ENFORCEMENT IS USUALLY KIND OF THE FIRST IDENTIFIER OF WHAT SOME OF THESE ARE AND THEN THEY'RE JUST THINGS GOT OUT OF THE OUT OF HAND AND OUT OF THEIR CONTROL TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN AN UPKEEP. SO UM, WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME ASSISTANCE WITH LEAKING THEM UP WITH ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE A HAND, SO THIS IS ALSO NOT ONLY TO PROVIDE FOR THE HOME, BUT FOR THE ACTUAL NEIGHBORHOODS THEMSELVES. LET'S SAY IF THEY GOT HIGH GRASS OR JUST AREAS, I, I WILL SAY I. I DON'T THINK WE WERE LOOKING AT DOING THIS TO, UM, PROPERTY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM TO MAINTAIN HO, A OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES. THIS WAS TRULY KIND OF FOR INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNER UM, A BASIS FOR THOSE IN NEED THAT ARE HAVING A HARD TIME WITH WITH, YOU KNOW, SLIGHT HOME REPAIRS OR OR SOMETHING ELSE, SO NO, IT WAS NOT SET UP A LARGER HOAY. THE ALL RIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? I WAS IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE. ALL POST. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRY 7 TO 0. THANK YOU, MELISSA. ALL RIGHT. WE ARE BABY STEPS. LET'S DO A SEVEN MINUTE BREAK BEFORE WE GET INTO THE CONSENT AND REGULAR SO I'M GONNA TRY TO GAVEL BACK IN AT 10 TAIL, SO PLEASE TRY WILDLIFE. ALL RIGHT. IT'S 850.

I'M GONNA CALL THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER FINISH CHEWING YOUR FOOD. ALL RIGHT. UH, WE'RE GONNA

[8) Agenda Order per Rules of Council Sec. B1.]

[01:35:04]

BRING UP AGENDA ORDER. I'VE GOT A REQUEST TO BRING UP THE BGE ITEM. UM UH TO THE TOP, SO YOUR NAME ANYONE WHO HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT. I HEAR THERE'S A 3 A.M. FLIGHT WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE GONNA, UH, BRING UP. I'M SORRY. NOT 18 AGENDA ITEM. 25 CONSIDER APPROVAL OF TASK ORDER NUMBER FIVE, THE BGE INC IN THE AMOUNT OF 437,008 100 AND $47.30 FOR THE PREPARATION OF FINAL DESIGNS FOR THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. ACCESS ROAD, MR BARBER.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL LEON VVA CITY ENGINEER. A LITTLE BIT OF THE BACKGROUND. THIS IS A SECONDARY ENTRANCE, UH TO THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE NECESSARY DURING THE EXPANSION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PLANT. ACTUALLY WAS MY IDEA WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THAT, UH, FIRST EXPANSION. I DIDN'T WANT THE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AND THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BUILD IT THE FIRST PHASE OF THE EXPANSION. SO I, UM, WORKED WITH ONE OF THE ACQUISITION FIRMS AND WE ACQUIRED A 50. FT UH, PIECE OF PROPERTY, UH, FROM TWO DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNERS. THAT WAS A CHALLENGE IN ITSELF. BUT WE GOT IT DONE. AND THAT WAS REALLY JUST FOR A TEMPORARY, UM, DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE FOR CONSTRUCTION. ONLY. THAT'S THE THAT WAS THE INITIAL PLAN. UH IT WAS, UH, IT WAS UTILIZED BY THE CONSTRUCTION CREWS. AND THEY, UH DID, UH, LEAVE IT IN A PRETTY GOOD MESS, BUT IT TODAY IT'S STILL USED BY TRUCKS AND TRAILERS, HAULING ALL TRASH AND SLUDGE. AS YOU CAN TELL. IT'S NOT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. UH, UN SURFACED AND IT'S NARROW. OUR TRAFFIC IS REQUIRED TO USE THE ACCESS ROAD TO ENTER THE PLANT.

UH, JUST TO LET YOU GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE HISTORY. WE INITIALLY THOUGHT ABOUT, UH PAVING THIS ROAD WHEN WE ACTUALLY STARTED THE PROJECT FOR THE F THAT SECOND THAT FIRST PHASE OF EXPANSION, AND THE COST WAS ROUGHLY A LITTLE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS. AND AS WE MOVED THROUGH THE PROJECT TO TRY TO GET IT BUILT AND LOOKED AT THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT THE COST KEPT GOING UP AND UP ON THE TREATMENT PLANT. INITIALLY 11 TO 12 MILLION IS WHAT WE THOUGHT AND AS TIME WENT ON, WE WERE UP AROUND 30 MILLION WE DID HAVE AN ENGINEER COME IN AT ABOUT 90% PLANS AND LOOKED AT DID A VALUE ENGINEERING TO SEE WHAT COULD WE CUT? WHAT COULD WE REDUCE IT SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO, UH, SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON THAT PLANT EXPANSION. SO ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WENT WAS THE ROAD. OF COURSE. AT THAT POINT, WE SAID, OK, WE'LL LET THE CONTRACTOR FIGURE THAT OUT. THEY'LL DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE THAT TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT ROAD. THE PLAN TODAY IS TO RECONSTRUCT THE ACCESS ROAD TO ACCOMMODATE TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC . UH, WE'RE GONNA BUILD IT TO ABOUT A 20 HOUR 20 YEAR SERVICE LIFE WE'RE GONNA USE TEXT DOT'S, UH, STANDARD PAVEMENT DESIGN. UH, WE'RE EXPECTING THE COST TO BE ABOUT $4 MILLION. IT'S ABOUT 25 2600 FT OF ROAD. UH, THIS IS JUST PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS. AND AS WE GET INTO THE DETAIL OF THE DESIGN, WE'LL GET YOU A BETTER NUMBER. HOPEFULLY LOWER. AH, THE DESIGN COSTS. THIS IS FULL DESIGN. THIS IS EVERYTHING, INCLUDING BID FACE SERVICES, TYPICALLY AS YOU'LL KNOW THAT I DO A PRELIMINARY ENGINE REPORT. IN THIS CASE, WE'RE TAKING IT ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE PROJECT, SO WE KNOW THE SCOPE. IT'S VERY CLEAR WHAT WE NEED TO DO OUT THERE. SO THIS WILL INCLUDE ALL THE SERVICES THAT WE NEED FROM THE ENGINEER. AND YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS. ONE IS TO IMPROVE THE TASK ORDER, UH, TO BGE IN THE AMOUNT SPECIFIED THERE OR TO DO NOT APPROVE THE TASK ORDER. AND UH, OPTION ONE IS WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE OPTION ONE.

SECOND MOTION BY MAYOR SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM AND WE APPROVE OPTION ONCE THE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION REAL QUICK. I JUST WANT TO SAY, UM, THE LAST TIME WE WERE AT THE LAURA LEE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER, HARRIS AND I WERE AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT. WE SAW THE NEED FOR THIS ROAD, SO IT'S REALLY DIRE THAT WE, UH, CONSTRUCT THIS, UM WE ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH SOME OF THE MUD. WE HAD THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE THROUGH SOME OF THE AREAS SO IT WAS FUN. I'M NOT GONNA LIE, BUT DEFINITELY DON'T WANT OUR EQUIPMENT GOING THROUGH THAT EVERY DAY. SO I, I I'M GLAD THAT YOU DID YOUR DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS, LEON. I JUST WANNA COMMEND YOU ON ON HAVING THE ON THIS, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. HOLDS AND FAVORITES A. I AYE. ALL POST.

[VII) Items Pulled from Consent Agenda]

[01:40:01]

NINE. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN IL A WITH FOR INSTALLATION OF A SIDEWALK, A VETERANS DRIVE AND CENTER, UH, SILVERADO COUNCIL FOR PARSLEY. OK, SO THIS IS JUST A COMMENT. WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH THE PRESENTATION I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE THE PRICE OF THE MATERIALS FOR SIDEWALKS. HOW CAN WE? HOW CAN WE WORK TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? LIKE EVERYWHERE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DESIGN SIDEWALKS THAT ARE JUST $2000 FOR A SMALL SPACE. UH, LEON BARBER CITY ENGINEER COUNCIL. HE'S JUST TOO CHEAP. WELL THE THING IS THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE LABOR FOR THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO PROVIDE. THERE'S LABOR COSTS.

THERE'S EQUIPMENT COSTS, UH, THAT THAT'S INVOLVED, BUT IT'S NOT BEING CHARGED TO THIS PROJECT. THE ONLY THING WE'RE GOING TO BE PAYING FOR IS THE MATERIALS AND THE, UH FOR THE CONCRETE AND THE STEEL. THAT'S WHAT SO IF YOU TAKE 240 FT, AND IT'S ABOUT 15 YARDS OF CONCRETE $100 A YARD THAT'S I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $1700 FROM PUBLIC WORKS. I JUST ROUNDED IT UP TO 2000. OK BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO DO THE DESIGN. THE DESIGN IS ROUGHLY 20,000. WE ALSO HAVE TO PREPARE MEETS AND BOUNDS AND A SURVEY THAT WE HAVE TO GIVE TO THE COUNTY FOR THE FOR THEM TO APPROVE OUR REQUEST. BUT YEAH, IT'S PRETTY LOW PRICE. BUT THAT'S THE COST OF MATERIALS ONLY. OK I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT WE COULD IMPLEMENT TO HAVE A SIDEWALK PROGRAM. I THINK THAT COUNCIL MEMBER SUNA HAS TALKED ABOUT IT, UM, SEEING THE PRICE OF THE SIDEWALKS OR JUST THE MATERIALS. I UNDERSTAND. UM IT WAS REALLY SHOCKING. SO I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE A COMMENT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS READING. SO WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NINE. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER PARSLEY SECONDED BY COUNCILOR HARRIS TO APPROVE AN ITEM NUMBER NINE. SO DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION. VERY SAY I AYE OLD POST OR A MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. NEXT UP, JEN ITEM 11 CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT WITH K FREE AND ASSOCIATES IN THE AMOUNT OF 100 AND 8 $78,700 FOR 30% DESIGN AT FOUR OAKS SUBDIVISION AND SLEDGE STREET COVERT IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS MR BARBER AS WELL MISS. YOU PULLED IT OK, AND SO FOR THIS ONE, AND I KNOW THAT I SENT LEON AN EMAIL ALREADY ABOUT IT. I KNOW THAT WE ARE USING K FREE BECAUSE THEY PREVIOUSLY HAD A PRO FOR THIS IMPROVEMENTS, BUT LIKE THEY ARE OVERWORKED. I WISH THAT THEY COULD MOVE A LITTLE BIT FASTER WITH OUR ROAD BOND. AND I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE K FRASE A LITTLE BIT LESS OF WHAT WE'RE GIVING CURRENTLY TO SEE IF WE CAN ALLOW FOR OTHER ENGINEERING FIRMS TO DO SOME WORK WITH THE CITY. I KNOW THEY ARE A PART OF THE POOL OF ENGINEERS THAT WE'RE USING, BUT SINCE THEY HAVE GOTTEN A ROAD BOND, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAYBE GETTING THEM A LITTLE BIT PULLED BACK FOR EVERYTHING ELSE. COUNCIL MEMBER THE BACK IN 21.

THEY DID A PRELIMINARY ENGINE REPORT. IT WAS A VERY DETAILED PRELIMINARY REPORT. I THEM TO LOOK AT THAT BASIN, UH, IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA ALL THE WAY UP TO WHICH INCLUDES THAT BASIN ACTUALLY STARTS AROUND HOMETOWN, KYLE AND, UH, BUT IT GOES THROUGH SCOTT STREET, SLEDGE STREET AND EVENTUALLY IT HITS THE RAILROAD TRACKS, AND THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE A KIND OF A BOTTLENECK. SO I ASKED THEM TO DO A COMPLETE STUDY OF THAT AREA USING THE ALICE 14 REQUIREMENTS, AND SO I GOT A COMPLETE STUDY OF THAT. THEY ALSO ANALYZED THE FOUR OAKS SUBDIVISION. THEY ALSO ANALYZED THE CHANNEL THAT GOES TO THAT AREA. THEY ALSO ANALYZE THE CULVERT THAT WE NEED TO UPGRADE ON SCOTT STREET. SO THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF THE HOMEWORK ALREADY TO MAKE THIS PROJECT GO FASTER THAT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A DIFFERENT, UH, DESIGN TEAM THAT'S WORKING ON THIS. THEY'RE NOT WORKING ON THE ROAD BONDS OR IT'S A DIFFERENT TEAM. THAT'S OUT OF THE SAN ANTONIO. I BELIEVE. OK IS THERE ANY AND JUST BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE USED EVEN WHEN THERE THERE'S A DIFFERENT DESIGN TEAM. WE HAVE USED KRE SO MUCH THAT MAYBE THERE IS A CHANCE THAT WE CAN ADD SOME OTHER FIRMS TO THE ENGINEERING POOL. WE DO HAVE A ROTATION. THIS IS NOT THE ITEM, BUT I JUST WANNA I WAS WONDERING WHY I WERE USING KREE AGAIN. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAYBE ANOTHER FIRM TO GET THE CHANCE SINCE THEY HAVE GOTTEN THE BOND THE WE DO HAVE A ROTATION LIST, AND WE DO HAVE SIX OTHER FIRMS THAT ARE LISTED ON THERE. BUT TYPICALLY WHENEVER I LOOK AT IT, WHO'S GONNA GET ONE OF OUR PROJECTS? I LOOK TO SEE IF THEY'VE DONE WORK IN THE AREA OR IF THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA. WE HAVE A SIGNED PROJECTS TO OTHER ENGINEERS OFF ROTATION LIST BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE THERE. THEY'VE GOT WORK. THEY GOT ALL THE INFORMATION. THE REFERENCE POINTS THEIR SURVEYS. THEY'VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED TO CONTINUE THE PROJECT AND GIVE HER A BETTER PRICE AND GIVE US A FASTER PROJECT. OK? THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO APPROVE ITEM 11. MOTION BY COUNCILOR PARTIALLY SECONDED BY THE MAYOR, PRO 10 THAT WE APPROVE IN ITEM 11, SO DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION. I WAS A VERY SAY A ALL POST. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. NEXT UP IS J A 17 CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION VACATING AND DEDICATING. AND, UH , UNNAMED PUBLIC 20 FT ALLEY AND FOR, UH, BLOCK 43 OF THE ORIGINAL TOWN OF KYLE BETWEEN, UH, NORTH GROSS STREET AND NORTH MYERS STREET. UH, WAIVING FEES RELATED TO THE PLATS, UH, AND FOR INCORPORATING ABANDONED RIGHTS AWAY INTO ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS PARCELS. UM MISS MC THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. UM MELISSA MCCALLUM, UH, CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER. I CAN GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION OR IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I

[01:45:01]

CAN ANSWER THOSE. GO AHEAD. I PULL SO JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT, UM I JUST WANT TO GIVE OUR COUNCIL A SENSE OF HISTORY. SO IN MY YEARS ON THE COUNCIL, ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE NOTICED THAT IN OUR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN, THERE WAS A LOT OF PAPERWORK THAT WAS MISSED BACK IN THE DAY, UH, FROM PLANTING TO EVERYTHING ELSE WE'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH SEVERAL RESIDENTS THAT HAVE HAD PLANNING ISSUES. A LOT OF STUFF BACK IN THE DAY WAS DONE ON A AND THAT KIND OF IS TOUGH, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS DONE BACK THEN. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? UH, DIDN'T HAVE THE STAFF TO FOLLOW UP ON A LOT OF THE PAPERWORK. UH, THIS IS WHEN THE CITY WAS STILL DEVELOPING, AND THERE WAS LAND THAT WAS GIVEN TO FAMILY MEMBERS LATER ON, SO THERE WAS A LOT OF ISSUES THAT HAPPENED. HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THAT. WHERE UH, A LANDOWNER WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO THE CITY. THERE'S SOME OLD PAPERWORK THAT UH UH, WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S REALLY GOOD RESEARCHER THAT THAT LIVES IN OUR CITY FOUND SOME PAPERWORK STATING THAT THIS FAMILY UH, WAS GIVEN THE ALLEYWAY BACK AND THEY WERE ABLE TO BUILD THEIR HOMES, SO THEY BUILT A HOME BACK WAY BACK. UH, WHEN KYLE WAS DEVELOPING THE HOUSE NOW AND COACHES IN THAT ALLEYWAY, UH, NOW WITH THE NEW PROPERTY OWNERS ARE TRYING TO REBUILD THAT HOME. UH, MAKE MAKE A GOOD IMPROVEMENT TO THAT AREA AND BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE PROPER PAPER WORK FILED, UH, THE THERE WAS A PRE EXISTING HOME THERE. THIS IS AN ALLEYWAY THAT WE DON'T NEED AS A CITY AND, UH, MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE ALLOW THIS FAMILY WHO'S ALREADY DONE A LOT OF DESIGN WORK IS READY TO BUILD AND IMPROVE THIS AREA OF OUR CITY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AS, UM, YOU KNOW THAT WE LOOK AT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT IMPROVEMENTS. THIS IS A REALLY GOOD IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS A FAMILY IS GONNA BE HERE FOR GENERATIONS. I BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY'RE THEY'VE BEEN HERE ALREADY GENERATIONS AND I THINK IT'S A WORTHWHILE REASON FOR US TO, UH, YOU KNOW, GO WITH THE ORIGINAL, UM UH, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? GIVE OF THE CITY OF THIS ALLEYWAY AND FOLLOW THROUGH . BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I'M GONNA ASK IS THAT WE APPROVE. UH I WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? UH, GENDER ITEM ONE OPTION ONE FOR AGENDA ITEM 17. AND WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE SECONDED BY COUNCILOR TO APPROVE OPTION ONE REGARDING ITEM NUMBER 17 SCHEDULE MOTION. COUNCILLOR TOBIAS THESE ARE A LOT OF, UH ISSUES THAT WE'RE GOING TO POSSIBLY CONTINUE TO SEE. AS OUR CITY GROWS, THERE'S A LOT OF JIGSAW PUZZLES. WITH OUR CITY, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY THE DOWNTOWN AREA. UH YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WERE DONE BY HANDSHAKE. THERE ARE ALSO THINGS WERE A LOT OF THESE PROPERTIES WERE PASSED DOWN FROM FAMILY TO FAMILY. SO COUSIN HAD THIS PART OF THE FIELD. GRANDMA HAD THE BACK END OF THE HOUSE AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF. SO UH, I THINK THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF OUR OUR LEGAL AND OUR DOCUMENTATION KIND OF GETS A LITTLE ARRAY ON. SO I THINK BY SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT LIKE I SAID, THIS MAY NOT BE THE LAST. WE'LL PROBABLY GET A LOT MORE.

BUT I THINK WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, AND WELL MAYOR PRO TEAM IS TRYING TO DO IS MAKE SURE WE NOW MAKE IT OFFICIAL MAKE IT ALL LEGAL, SO THAT WAY IN TIME IF THE FAMILY DOES MOVE YEARS FROM NOW, OR PASSES ON TO ANOTHER GENERATION IN THEIR FAMILY, THEY HAVE THE PROPER PAPERWORK WHEN IT COMES TO PROPERTY TAXES, CITY TAXES AND SO FORTH, AND SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF LIKE REBUILDING FROM THERE. SO WITH THAT, I SUPPORT THAT AS WELL. THANK YOU. YEAH I MEAN, I SUPPORT IT AS WELL. BUT I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ON WHAT'S GOING ON, UM, ON THE ADJACENT BLOCKS THAT ARE NEXT TO IT. ARE THOSE ALLEYS ALSO OWNED BY CITY. OR IS. WILL THIS CAUSE A DISCONNECT IN THAT? NOW THIS IS RETURN TO THE HOMEOWNERS, BUT THE ONES NEXT TO IT. WE STILL HAVE THE ALLEYS OR BECAUSE I WANT IT TO ALL BE UNIFORM. UM II. I WILL SAY WE JUST LOOKED AT THIS BLOCK 43 SO JUST ZOOMED IN ON THIS RIGHT NOW THAT THAT IS, UH, SOMETHING THAT STAFF CAN LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE ALLEYS IN OTHER BLOCKS , WHETHER OR NOT THOSE ARE USEFUL ALLEYS, UM, IN ALL SITUATIONS, BUT I THIS CASE IS REALLY JUST FOR THIS BLOCK 43 AT THIS POINT IN TIME, RIGHT? I MEAN, I DON'T SEE THE CITY BUILDING A ROAD THROUGH THERE, UM, ON THIS BLOCK AND THE BLOCK NEXT TO IT, SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE THEM. ALL KIND OF LOOK THE SAME IN BLOCKS AND NOT WE STILL HAVE THIS ALL NOT NOT TAKING CARE OF ON THE BLOCK NEXT TO IT AND DOWN THE ROAD. WE END UP USING BUILDING A ROAD IN THERE, AND NOW YOU HAVE ROAD AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE ROAD. YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT GONNA BUILD A ROAD THROUGH SOMEBODY'S HOUSE. THERE'S A HOUSE RIGHT THERE IN THAT ALLEY. YOU'RE NOT GONNA GO ALL THROUGH. I THINK THE POINT'S WELL TAKEN. WE NEED TO LOOK AT PROBABLY ALL OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? YES SIR. I. I AND I, UH THERE'S NO INTENTION TO BUILD ROADS THROUGH HERE. BUT I, I THINK WE NEED TO DO A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT THE DOWNTOWN AREA TO SEE. ARE THERE OTHER EXAMPLES WHERE THE PAPERWORK IS. BEEN FILED CORRECTLY, AND THESE REALLY NEED TO BE ABANDONED. WHAT'S PRECIPITATED THIS IS THE GENTLEMAN THAT CAME HERE THIS EVENING. HE WAS TRYING TO BUILD, UH, GET A BUILDING PERMIT TO

[01:50:03]

BUILD HIS HOME. WE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS LAND HERE AND SO WE WANTED TO GET IT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE WE KNEW IT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. THERE MAY BE OTHER BLOCKS AS WELL, THAT NEED TO HAVE THIS DONE AS WELL. WE JUST NEED TO SPEND SOME MORE TIME LOOKING AT THOSE BUT POINTS WELL TAKEN. WE JUST WE'RE NOT READY TO COME FORWARD AND BRING ALL OF THOSE OTHER BLOCKS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T RESEARCHED THOSE, AND THAT'S THAT. JUST TO ADD TO MY POINT AGAIN. WE HAVE THE SAME SITUATION IN MESA WOOD. WHERE THERE'S A LOT THAT'S BEHIND HOUSES IN A CITY OWNED. SO THEN THAT GOES BACK TO YOUR PREVIOUS AGENDA. I MA, WHERE YOU KNOW? IS IT CITY THAT'S GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UPKEEP OF THAT AREA WITH THE GRASS OR THE TREES AND SO FORTH. AND SAME THING WITH THE DOWNTOWN AREA. THERE'S MORE HOMES. I'M SURE THAT THERE'S PROBABLY LITTLE PARCELS THAT THE CITY OWNS. AND IN SOME THAT ANOTHER FAMILY OWNS OR BUSINESS AND SO FORTH. AND THEN THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE SOME YARDS THAT ARE CUT AND THEN IN THE BACK, IT'S OVERGROWN FIELDS OR OVERGROWN GRASS. BUT THEN AGAIN, IT'S THEN BECOMES THE CITY'S PROBLEM, YOU KNOW, AND THEN BUT THEN AGAIN, HOW DO WE GET BACK THERE? BECAUSE YOU HAVE FENCES AND THEN YOU GOT PRIVATE PROPERTY. YOU CAN'T ENTER THAT SO MORE TO COME. ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION. LIKE ON THE MOTION TO APPROVE THIS AGENDA ITEM. I'LL SECOND IT I ALREADY DO. I'M GONNA CALL FOR THE VOTE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. SAY A. I POST ALL RIGHT MOTION CARRY 7 TO 0. WE STILL WANT TO VOTE ON 19, STEPHANIE OR STEPHANIE. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA BRING UP TONIGHT AND 19 1ST AND FINAL READING. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL. THE CITY OF CAL, TEXAS, APPROVING 2024 ANNUAL UPDATE TO THE SAP. FOR LIMESTONE CREEK. GET UP OR GOOD. EVEN UH, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER STEPHANIE LIVE WITH NORTON ROSE FULBRIGHT. UH, WE WERE BEFORE YOU ALL AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING WHERE YOU APPROVED THE OFFERING DOCUMENT FOR THE BONDS RELATED TO LIMESTONE CREEK. AND IF YOU RECALL AT THAT TIME I HAD MENTIONED THAT THESE BONDS ARE PHASE ONE B OF THE INITIAL SERIES OF BONDS THAT WE ISSUED LAST YEAR. SO WE WERE NOT LEVYING NEW ASSESSMENTS TO SUPPORT THIS BOND ISSUANCE. WE WERE GOING TO USE ASSESSMENTS THAT WERE ALREADY IN PLACE, SO WE JUST PULLED THIS AGENDA. BECAUSE WE REALIZED LATE THIS AFTERNOON THAT WE HAD AN ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR AND THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AND THAT WE WERE COLLECTING THE ANNUAL COLLECTION COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ASSESSMENTS TWO TIMES AND SO THAT AND THE AND THE, UH, ANNUAL COLLECTION COSTS IN THE SAP HAS BEEN UPDATED. A NEW SS A P HAS BEEN PROVIDED, UM TO THE CITY SECRETARY. SO THAT'S WHAT CITY RECORDS BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO EVERYONE'S ATTENTION TO LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT WAS IN BACKUP DID HAVE THAT ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR, BUT IT'S BEEN FIXED. UM AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE. SO THE MOTION YOU WANT IS JUST TO APPROVE, ACKNOWLEDGING THE ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR HAS BEEN RESOLVED. YEAH, THE AND TO BE CLEAR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR IS SOMETHING THAT WAS BUILT INTO THE DOCUMENT. WHEN WE PRICED THE BONDS TODAY, IT WAS NOT AN ERA THAT HAS BEEN CARRIED OVER BECAUSE THIS WAS A SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN THAT'S BEEN PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY COUNCIL. SO THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT AROSE TODAY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRICING OF THE BONDS. WE CAUGHT IT. IT'S BEEN FIXED. WE JUST NEED TO APPROVE. UH THE ANNUAL UPDATE TO THE SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AS IT'S BEEN CORRECTED, RIGHT? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 19 THE OF A SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR LIMESTONE CREEK WITH THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED AND UPDATED BY NORTON ROSE, FULBRIGHT. SECOND MOTION BY MAYOR SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS THAT WE APPROVED IN THAT 19 AS DISCUSSED. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL IN FAVOR. SAY AYE AYE. ALL OPPOSED. OUR MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP OUT OF 20 CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION RELATING TO ESTABLISHING OF THE CITY'S INTENT TO REIMBURSE ITSELF FOR LAWFUL EXPENDITURES OF FUND RELATED TO, UH, VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS IN IN T, NUMBER TWO UM, MR ZUNIGA. DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON SO I'M GOING TO APPROVE THIS, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION OR TWO. AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN ANSWER THEM.

UM SO THE QUESTION IS, HOW ARE WE GONNA KNOW? BASICALLY FOR PROTECTION THAT, UM, WHEN WE WHEN WE REACHED THE BORROWING CAPACITY OF THIS TOURIST, TOO. SO WE'RE GOING TO 30 MILLION NOW. SO HOW WILL THE TAXPAYER BE PROTECTED THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A GOOD AMOUNT OF CAPTURED TAX VALUE IN THAT TERMS, TOO. SO LIKE WHAT? WHAT? WHAT IS WHAT PROTECTS US FROM? OVERSPENDING IN THERE. SURE SO A COUPLE COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS, UM, FOR ALL THE PROJECT COSTS AND

[01:55:05]

THINGS THAT ARE SPENDED ON PROJECT COSTS RELATED TO THE TOURIST. THOSE PROJECT COSTS ARE APPROVED BY BOTH THE TOURIST BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL. AND SO WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS A REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION, AND THAT SIMPLY MEMORIALIZES THE CITY'S INTENT TO REIMBURSE THEMSELVES FOR PROJECT COSTS WITH BOND PROCEEDS AS THOSE BONDS WERE ISSUED, SO LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING, UH THERE WAS A TOURIST BOARD MEETING PRIOR TO COUNCIL. UH THE BOARD AND COUNCIL GAVE CITY STAFF THE GO AHEAD TO START WITH SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN WORK FOR SOME OF THE ROADS AND ROUNDABOUTS IN TO SO WE'RE PUTTING THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT IN PLACE SO THAT THE CITY CAN START USING CITY FUNDS TO GET THE PROJECT MOVING FORWARD. WHEN THE CITY IS READY FOR CONSTRUCTION. WE CAN ISSUE BONDS AND THEN FROM THOSE BOND PROCEEDS, THESE PRELIMINARY DESIGN COSTS CAN BE REIMBURSED TO THE CITY. LIKE I GET ALL THAT WE APPROVED IT, BUT GETTING REIMBURSED, GETTING THEIR CAPTURED VALUE TO, UH, TO REPAY THE 30 MILLION THAT WE'RE GONNA BOND HOW DO HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH CAPTURED TAX VALUE IN THERE? THAT WE DON'T BORROW MORE THAN WHAT WE CAN CAPTURE IN THOSE 30 YEARS. SO THE CITY'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR SAMCO CAPITAL MARKETS PREPARES TOURIST PROJECTIONS. I MEAN, SOME OF THIS IS PROJECTIONS BECAUSE YOU'RE PROJECTING FUTURE VALUES, BUT I THINK AS THOSE PROJECTIONS COME ONLINE, THEY'RE DONE IN A CONSERVATIVE MANNER TO ENSURE THAT SO THE FIRST TIME WE WENT THROUGH THAT WE WERE GONNA PROPOSE A CERTAIN AMOUNT, AND I REMEMBER HOW WE HAD A FINANCIAL STRUCTURE. BUT NOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO 30 MILLION I DIDN'T SEE THE FINANCIAL STRUCTURE PRESENTED. UM AND WHEN I READ THROUGH OUR BUDGET THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF WHAT WE THOUGHT THE EXPECTED CAPTURED VALUE WAS GOING TO BE LAST YEAR. WE'RE ALREADY IN A SHORTAGE. SO IF I CAN TRY TO AN ANSWER THE QUESTION AND STEPHANIE MAY AMPLIFY SOME OF THIS, UM SO WE HAVE A FINANCIAL PERFORMER SHOWS ALL OF OUR DEBT COSTS AND THOSE DEBT COSTS BEING PAID OUT OF THIS TOURIST DISTRICT. THIS ACTION FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT. UH, RESOLUTION ALLOWS US TO TAKE ANY OF THOSE COSTS THAT ARE GONNA BE RELATED TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND THEN ULTIMATELY ISSUE BONDS TO PAY FOR THOSE COSTS. DOESN'T LOCK IN EXACTLY WHAT THE BOND ISSUE IS GOING TO BE. IT JUST ALLOWS THESE COSTS TO BE RETAINED FOR THE CAPITAL PROJECT IF NEEDED. I BELIEVE IT'S 18 MONTHS, SO ALLOWS US TO GET STARTED ON THAT, AND THEN ULTIMATELY ALLOWS US TO FINANCE FINANCE IT WITH THE BONDS AT SOME POINT, RATHER THAN JUST BEING A CASH EXPENSE. SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS, BUT THAT ALL OF THOSE THAT OBLIGATIONS AND THE FINANCIALS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED BY OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS I KNOW STEPHANIE'S LOOKED AT IT. MARK MCCLOY WITH OUR TEAM HAS LOOKED AT AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE SUFFICIENT CASH FLOWS TO PAY FOR THOSE BONDS. THIS ACTION IS REALLY JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU PRESERVE THE ABILITY TO ISSUE BONDS FOR THESE COSTS. AND I'M JUST TRYING TO BE CAREFUL ON I. I GET THAT WE'RE 30 MILLION. WE'VE GOT A 30 YEAR TO THAT SOUNDS MANAGEABLE. THAT SOUNDS REASONABLE. BUT IF WE GET TO 6070 I WANNA SAY WHEN, WHEN DO WE HAVE A CAP? UM, THAT CAPTURED VALUE IS NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO REPAY THE INITIAL THE BOND DEBT IN THERE. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THERE TO BE A SHORTAGE. TO COVER OTHER DEBT SERVICES. UM I MEAN, I. I THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT, AS EACH OF THESE PROJECTS COME ONLINE. SO AGAIN. THE RESOLUTION TONIGHT IS TO PRESERVE THE CITY'S ABILITY TO REIMBURSE THEMSELVES AS BOND PROCEEDS, UM, ARE ISSUED FOR ELIGIBLE PROJECT COSTS BUT RELATED TO THOSE PROJECT COSTS, YOU'LL HAVE STAFF COME UP WHETHER IT'S YOU KNOW, PLANNING DEPARTMENT OR ENGINEERING TO BRING THE CONTRACTS THAT ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THESE PROJECTS. AND SO SUBSEQUENT APPROVALS FOR EACH OF THESE PROJECTS ARE CONTEMPLATED AS THEY BEGIN TO COME ONLINE. UM YEAH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE THE, UH I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, I'M GONNA APPROVE THIS TO REIMBURSE OURSELVES. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH. THAT WE'VE BONDED AND THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ENOUGH TIME DURATION TO CAPTURE ALL OF THAT. THAT THAT THAT I THINK WE UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOUR POINT IS, BUT WE'LL SHOW YOU THOSE FINANCIAL PERFORMERS.

YOU KNOW, OUR INTENTION IS ALWAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SUFFICIENT CASH FLOWS FOR THE BONDS, AND THAT'S PART OF THE FINANCIAL TEAM THAT WE HAVE IS TO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS BEFORE WE ISSUE IT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE SUFFICIENT. WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT FUNDING TO DO ALL OF THESE. THAT'S ALL I WAS LOOKING FOR, OK? THANK YOU. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE

[02:00:07]

AGENDA ITEM 22ND FOR A MOTION BY COUNCILOR ZUNIGA SECONDED BY COUNCILOR HEISER. WE APPROVE A GT THEIR DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION. ALSO FAIR TO SAY I AYE, ALL POST OUR MOTION CARRIES 7 TO

[21) Consider approval of a resolution amending the City of Kyle policy on appointments for city boards, committees and commissions.]

0. THANK YOU, STEPHANIE. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS JENNA ADAM 21 CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY OF KYLE POLICY ON APPOINTMENTS FOR CITY BOARDS, COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS. MR ALEXANDER. LESS COMPLICATED IN BONDS. OH, NO, IT'S NOT NOT. THIS ITEM IS THIS.

THIS IS THE 10TH TIME IN THE LAST 40 YEARS THAT THIS ITEM HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD. IT'S WAY MORE THAN BONDS INTRODUCTION. GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL JESS HAZAN, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.

DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME HERE. BUT I CAN START. THIS IS A RESOLUTION, UH, UPDATING OUR POLICY FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. THERE'S A LOT AS THE MAYOR WAS JUST SAYING TO EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS FIRST GLANCE OVERVIEW. I'M GONNA RUN THROUGH EACH ONE PRETTY QUICKLY AND THEN WE CAN GO BACK AND DISCUSS ANY OF THESE BUCKETS THAT WE'RE UPDATING FOR THE POLICY AS MUCH AS YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO SO REALLY QUICK. THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF THE 14 BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. THIS IS ACTUALLY FROM JULY OF 2023 ASSIST MANAGER AMBER SCHMITZ. INSTEAD OF REALLY IN DEPTH, GREAT JOB OF GOING THROUGH ALL OF OUR BOARDS, AND SO I JUST TOOK EVERYTHING THAT SHE SHE WORKED ON THROUGHOUT THAT TIME AND PUT IT TOGETHER IN A IN A CHART HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE LIAISON THE SIZE. I FIGURED IF WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT ANY SPECIFIC BOARD, WE COULD COME BACK AND UTILIZE THIS CHART. I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THROUGHOUT ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WE HAVE OVER 100 VOLUNTEERS. THAT WORK THAT VOLUNTEER ON THESE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT DO REALLY IMPORTANT GREAT WORK THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ACROSS ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT EXPERTISE TO COUNCIL. SO WE HAVE QUITE A FEW MEMBERS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE UPDATE TO THE POLICY WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT. I'M GONNA GO QUICKLY THROUGH HERE AND LIKE I SAID, WE CAN GO BACK AND TALK ABOUT ANY OF THESE IN DETAIL.

BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOUR MAIN BUCKETS THAT WE'RE UPDATING THE POLICY WITH OR THAT STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND UPDATING THE POLICY WITH THE FIRST ONE IS FIRST AND FOREMOST TO CENTRALIZE ALL OF OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS INTO THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE. WE HAVE CURRENTLY A DECENTRALIZED PROCESS WHERE THE LIAISONS AND THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS ARE RUNNING EACH BOARD AND WE'VE HAD , FRANKLY SOME ISSUES ACROSS THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. WITH UNIFORMITY WITH PAPERWORK WITH TRAINING, AND SO WE'D LIKE TO CENTRALIZE ALL OF THAT INTO THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE AND UTILIZE SOME SOFTWARE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THROUGH OUR AGENDA SUITE TO STREAMLINE A LOT OF THOSE FUNCTIONS, SOME OF WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT JUST NOW, SO THAT THE COMMUNICATION GOING OUT TO ALL THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS SO THAT THE PAPERWORK THAT'S BEING FILED SO THAT THE TRAINING THAT WE HAVE FOR THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS IS ALL UNIFORM AND THE SAME, AND THE AGENDAS THAT ARE GOING OUT FOR ALL OF THOSE ARE ALSO UNIFORM. THE SECOND BUCKET THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. AS FAR AS AN UPDATE TO THE POLICY IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS. SO CURRENTLY ALL OF OUR APPLICATIONS GO THROUGH OUR HR DEPARTMENT AND WITHOUT GETTING INTO A TON OF DETAIL. WE'RE ESSENTIALLY ASKING THESE VOLUNTEERS TO GO THROUGH A FULL JOB DESCRIPTION. UH, JOB APPLICATION AND IT NOT ONLY IS IT PRETTY TEDIOUS AND ARDUOUS ON OUR HR STAFF, WE'VE ACTUALLY HEARD FROM SEVERAL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS THAT WANTED TO APPLY THAT THE WHOLE PROCESS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH AS FAR AS GOING THROUGH THOSE JOB APPLICATIONS AND STUFF SO WE'D LIKE TO DO IS UTILIZE THAT SUITE AND THAT CENTRALIZATION INSIDE OF THE C SECRETARY'S OFFICE TO SIMPLIFY THE APPLICATIONS, SO IT'S A IT'S A MUCH EACH APPLICATION WILL BE TAILORED TOWARD THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, BUT IT WOULD BE A MUCH SIMPLER AND EASIER APPLICATION FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS TO FILL OUT ON TOP OF THAT, THAT WOULD GIVE US THE ABILITY TO KEEP APPLICATIONS OPEN YEAR ROUND. SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE HEARD FROM VOLUNTEERS IS IT'S VERY HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND WIN THE SEATS ACTUALLY OPEN UP, SO YOU'D HAVE TO BE PAYING REALLY CLOSE ATTENTION TO A BOARD IF SOMEONE FELL OFF AND THE SEAT OPENED UP. THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO A SIMPLE APPLICATION THAT IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED AT ANY TIME DURING THE YEAR, THEY CAN GO IN AND APPLY. AND THEN THOSE THOSE WILL STAY WITH THEIR PROFILE UNDER THE BOARDS THAT THEY APPLY FOR, AND ANY TIME A SEAT OPENS UP. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE NEXT ITEM ANYTIME THE SEAT OPENS UP, THOSE APPLICATIONS WILL BE PUT TOGETHER AND PRESENTED TO A COMMITTEE SO THAT EVERYONE THAT IS APPLIED UP UNTIL THAT POINT WILL BE LOOKED AT AND CONSIDERED FOR APPOINTMENT. SO THE THIRD BUCKET IS PROBABLY THE ONE. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE MOST TONIGHT AND IT'S THE INTERVIEW PROCESS AND WE CAN COME BACK IN AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS. THERE'S QUITE A BIT HERE, BUT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR MULTIPLE REASONS IS TO DO AWAY WITH THE CURRENT INTERVIEW PROCESS THAT WE HAVE AND TO PUT AND TO INSTEAD PUT IN 32 MEMBER COMMITTEES OF COUNCIL SO YOU WOULD HAVE AN BECAUSE WE DON'T WANNA HAVE FOUR PEOPLE SITTING ON THAT COMMITTEE. THESE SHOULD BE THREE COMMITTEES WITH TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS ON EACH ONE, AND THE MAYOR WOULD BE A FLOATING MEMBER SO HE COULD SIT ON ANY OF THESE THREE COMMITTEES AND THESE COMMITTEES WOULD ROTATE STAFF WOULD FACILITATE THE COMMITTEE'S STAFF WOULD ALSO FACILITATE THE APPLICATIONS AND GETTING THEM ALL TOGETHER FOR ANY OPENINGS

[02:05:01]

THAT OPEN UP AND THESE COMMITTEES WOULD ROTATE AND GET TOGETHER WHENEVER WE HAVE OPENINGS FOR DIFFERENT BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND LOOK AT THE APPLICATIONS. OBVIOUSLY STAFF WOULD BE THERE AS A RESOURCE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY HAVE. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. CHAIRS TO BE THERE ALSO AS A RESOURCE TO WEIGH IN, BUT ULTIMATELY IT WOULD BE COUNCIL WHO WHOSE APPOINTMENT IT IS TO LOOK AT THESE APPLICATIONS TO LOOK THROUGH ALL OF THEM AND THEN EVENTUALLY MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE WHOLE COUNCIL FOR APPOINTMENT. AND THEN THIRDLY, THE I MEAN, FOURTHLY, THE LAST BUCKET IS REALLY A JUST A FUN PROMOTIONAL AND RECOGNITION PROCESS BUCKET THAT WE FEEL HAS BEEN MISSING FROM OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AND THAT IS ONE TO HOLD SPECIFIC TRAINING FOR OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. SO, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IT'S IT LOOKS VERY EASY TO SIT UP ON THE DIET AND EITHER BE IN A MEETING OR RUN A MEETING. IT'S A LOT HARDER WHEN YOU ACTUALLY SIT UP THERE AND HA AND HAVE ALL KINDS OF THINGS GOING ON. SO WE'D LIKE TO HAVE SOME BOARD AND COMMISSION MEETING TRAININGS WHERE WE GET TOGETHER WITH OUR BOARDS AND TALK TO ABOUT ROBERT TROLLS OF ORDER AND THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN IN A MEETING, AND WE'D ALSO LIKE TO HAVE SEPARATELY A VERY SPECIFIC CHAIR TRAINING, AND MAYBE THE MAYOR CAN SHOW UP AND INTRODUCE HIMSELF AND GIVE SOME WORDS OF WISDOM OF HOW TO RUN A MEETING. BUT IT'S IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SIT UP THERE ON YOUR YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN YOU'VE BEEN APPOINTED. YOU START A MEETING PE CITIZENS SHOW UP TO SPEAK. THERE'S ITEMS ON THE AGENDA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN BOOM GO IT CAN BE. IT CAN BE VERY DAUNTING. SO WE'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE SOME OF OUR OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSION MEMBERS IN WITH SOME AND THEN, LASTLY, TO HAVE A END OF THE YEAR RECOGNITION DINNER FOR ALL OF OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND WHAT WE ENVISION OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS THAT WE COULD WE COULD, UH, STRUCTURE THIS IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT WHAT WE ENVISION IS A BOARDING A VERY INFORMAL FUN BOARDS AND COMMISSION DINNER WHERE WE INVITE ALL THE BOARDS AND COMMITTEES TO THIS DINNER WHERE WE PROVIDE DINNER FOR THEM COUNCILS THERE TO SIT WITH THEM TO MEET WITH THEM TO TALK WITH THEM. WE WOULD HAVE DOOR PRIZES.

WE WOULD HAVE CERTIFICATES AND MAYBE PLAQUES FOR OUR CHAIRS. WE WOULD ALSO HAVE RAT LIKE A RAFFLE THAT WE GIVE OUT. GIVEAWAYS AND STUFF AND THEN FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE EVENING, WHILE EVERYONE'S ENJOYING AND EATING THE STAFF LIAISONS IN A VERY INFORMAL AND FUN WAY WOULD GO UP AND GIVE PRESENTATIONS OF WHAT EACH BOARD DID THAT YEAR FOR LIKE WHAT THEY LOOKED AT, AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST A WAY OF RECOGNIZING THESE 100 PLUS VOLUNTEERS THAT WORK, UH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND HAVE AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNSEL AND WE DO REALLY APPRECIATE THEM . WE KNOW COUNCIL DOES, AND I THINK GETTING EVERYONE TOGETHER AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO CELEBRATE EVERYTHING THAT WAS DONE WOULD BE GREAT. SO THERE'S A RECAP OF EVERYTHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. OBVIOUSLY THE ASK IS TO APPROVE THE POLICY AS PRESENTED, OR IF WE HAVE ANY CHANGES TO THE POLICY STAFF IS COMPLETELY OPEN TO TWEAKING IT AND CHANGING IT TO WHATEVER COUNCIL THIS IS. THIS IS COUNSEL'S APPOINTMENT AND A POLICY OR TO DENY IT ALTOGETHER. CUSTOMER HARRIS, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE, UM, RECOMMEND TO CHANGES. UH, ONE IS ON THE TWO MEMBER COMMITTEES. I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT THAT BE, UH THREE MEMBER COMMITTEES IN THE THIRD MEMBER BEING THE CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR OF THE RELEVANT COMMITTEE. UM INSTEAD OF JUST THE TWO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS SO JUST TO BE CLEAR THAT IT WOULD BE A 33 MEMBER COMMITTEE BECAUSE THE MAYOR IS A FLOATING MEMBER ON THAT ON THAT, SO IT WOULD BE A YOU'RE SAYING A FOUR MEMBER COMMITTEE. WELL YOU SAY 32 MEMBER COMMITTEES, AND THAT WOULD BE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THE MAYOR'S FLOATING RIGHT RIGHT, WHICH HE WOULD BE A OFFICIAL MEMBER OF THREE MEMBERS . PLUS THE MAYOR, PLUS THE RIGHT THE CHAIRS NOW. I. I WOULD JUST I WOULD JUST I WOULD JUST SAY THIS TO COUNCIL AGAIN. IT'S COMPLETELY UP TO YOU GUYS. BUT ANYBODY THAT YOU PUT ON THOSE COMMITTEES AS A OFFICIAL COMMITTEE MEMBER IS GOING TO HAVE A VOTE IN IN WHAT GOES TO THE APPOINTMENTS. AND IF THAT'S IF THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE, I WE STAFF LOOKS AT THESE AT THESE BOARDS AND COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS AS COUNSEL APPOINTMENTS. THESE ARE THIS IS YOUR THIS IS YOUR POWER THAT YOU HAVE AS COUNSEL TO LOOK AT THESE BOARDS AND COMMITTEES AND MAKE APPOINTMENTS. SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT IF WE'RE PUTTING OTHER MEMBERS ON THIS THESE COMMITTEES. THEY ALSO NOW HAVE THAT POWER TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPOINTMENT. THEY HAVE THERE'S THREE VOTES.

THEY HAVE ONE OUT OF THREE. SO UM, I THINK THAT PUBLIC INPUT AND THE INPUT DIRECTLY VOTING OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR OR THE BOARD CHAIR, UH WOULD THEY REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT FOR, UM, TRANSPARENCY? I THINK WE COULD. I THINK WE COULD PHRASE THE POLICY IN THAT WAY. IF THAT'S THE WILL OF COUNSEL I, THERE WOULD MIGHT BE TIMES WHERE A COMMITTEE IS LOOKING AT MULTIPLE OPENINGS, SO THERE WOULD BE MULTIPLE CHAIRS, BUT WE COULD PHRASE IT TO WHERE WHATEVER.

WHATEVER WHATEVER BOARD IS BEING CONSIDERED THE CHAIR WOULD HAVE A YEAH, THE RELEVANT COMMITTEE? YEAH, WE COULD PHRASE IT THAT WAY. THE WAY IT USED TO BE. IT WORKED REALLY WELL. WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. BECAUSE FOR TOBIAS YOU MUST HAVE SAW THE MEETING THAT I HAD BACK IN 2021, BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID AT THE VERY END ABOUT GATHERING EVERYBODY TOGETHER. I REMEMBER BRINGING THAT LONG TIME AGO. ABOUT JUST HAVING A GROUP SETTING HAVE ALL THE PARTS AND

[02:10:02]

BOARDS AND EVERYBODY DO A PRESENTATION. BUT I REMEMBER IS LIKE, WELL, IT WOULD BE VERY HARD TO GET EVERYBODY ALL TOGETHER IN ONE ROOM AT ONE SATURDAY OR ONE EVENING. BUT I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA MOVING FORWARD AS WE'RE WE ARE EVOLVING THAT WE DO HAVE A NIGHT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR ALL OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO MEET THE COUNCIL AND ALSO MAYBE IF WE INVITE OTHER LEADERS INTO OR CITY PEOPLE AND THEY CAN BE ABLE TO MEET THEM AS WELL, BECAUSE AGAIN, THE PARK SPORT DOESN'T GET TO SEE EVERYBODY THE, UH, BOARDS IN IT, UH, ADJUSTERS AS WELL PROBABLY MEET WHAT ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR THE MOST, BUT THEY'RE STILL PART OF THE COMMITTEES. AND THEN I ALSO LIKE THE IDEA ABOUT THE TRAINING. BECAUSE I'VE I'VE ATTENDED SOME OF THE BOARDS, COMMITTEES TRAINING. UH, I THINK SOMETIMES THEY WHEN THEY ARE ON THE SPOTLIGHT THEY MAY NOT KNOW TO MAKE A MOTION OR HOW DO YOU MAKE A MOTION OR WILL YOU GO FROM THERE? SO I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY HELP ON THAT END. SO UM, SO COUNCIL MEMBER TO ME, IS I STILL I? I STILL HAVE THE FLOOR. UM AND THERE'S I HAD TWO ITEMS THAT I WANTED TO ADDRESS. SURE GO AHEAD. IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND IF I DO THAT, UM, THE SECOND ONE IS RELATED TO THE TRAINING AND UHS SO IT. WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED. THERE IS TRAINING ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND FUNCTION OF THE DEPARTMENT. THAT INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT AND, UH, AND TOURS LIKE IT. IF THEY'RE ON PARKS THAT THEY WOULD ACTUALLY GO SEE ALL OF THE PARKS, THE PROPOSED PARKS, THE CURRENT PARKS AND, NO . WHATEVER THAT DEPARTMENT IS WHAT THE PLANS ARE, WHAT THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST, UH, TO GET A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THAT. THAT IS, UM IN MY EXPERIENCE, NOT REALLY BEING DONE EFFECTIVELY. I. I THINK I THINK THAT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA. IF YOU'RE SAYING IF SOMEONE COMES ON TO THE PARK BOARD OR A NEW BOARD THAT THEY GET A TOUR OF THE PARKS AND A RUNDOWN OF THE BUDGET AND HOW THE DEPARTMENT WORKS, I. I THINK WE COULD ABSOLUTELY INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE TRAINING. THAT'S A GREAT SUGGESTION. OK WELL NOT TO INTERFERE, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE DONE WITH THE MAYOR. DID YOU CALL MY NAME? NO. GO AHEAD. WE CAN TO ME. IT'S FINE. YEAH THAT'S FINE. UM THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS GETTING AT. I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE DO HAVE A TRAINING AND WE DO, UH, BRING THEM TOGETHER, SO THAT WAY WE CAN KIND OF ALSO SEE WHAT THEIR GOALS ARE AS A GROUP IN GOING FORWARD SO WE CAN HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE PARKS. AND WE CAN JUST MEET THOSE INDIVIDUALS. COUNCILOR TOBIAS, I DID NOT WATCH THAT MEETING. BUT I IT'S IT IS A GOOD IDEA, AND I I'VE SEEN IT. YOU GONNA GIVE YOU THE PLAY BY PLAY AND SEE IT IN ACTION? I'VE SEEN IT IN ACTION AND IT IT REALLY IS VERY ENCOURAGING FOR ALL OF THE BOARDS TO SEE EACH OTHER TO MEET WITH COUNSEL TO BE AROUND COS IT'S A REALLY GOOD TIME AND FUN. IT'S A LOT OF FUN. THANK YOU. I YELL THE MAYOR. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I WOULD JUST I WOULD JUST SAY TO SO TO ADD TO THE PROPOSALS FROM COUNCIL MAYOR HARRIS THAT WE PUT A MEMBER OF THE CHAIR OF WHATEVER BORDER COMMISSION ON THERE ON THE SELECTION COMMITTEE ON PURPOSE SO THAT THEY COULD THAT PERSPECTIVE AND THAT THAT WAS IMPORTANT. THERE'S A COUNCIL PERSPECTIVE. WE HAD STAFF MEMBERS ON THERE, LIKE THE DEPARTMENT HEAD WOULD BE A THIRD MEMBER, AND THEN SOMEONE FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE WOULD BE A FOUR. SO IT WAS ALWAYS FOUR, BUT IT WAS DESIGNED TO GET DIFFERENT PEOPLE'S PERSPECTIVES IN THAT GROUP. AS YOU'RE DISCUSSING WHICH CANDIDATE TO RECOMMEND SO, I. I UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT IT'S ULTIMATELY THE COUNCIL WHO MAKES THIS DECISION. AND OF COURSE, THAT IS THE CASE. BUT WHAT WE WANT WITH OUR COMMITTEE WHO'S DOING THE INTERVIEWS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PERSPECTIVES THAT ARE BEING PULLED OUT OF THE CANDIDATE ARE VARIED ACROSS THE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES BECAUSE IT'S NOT US WHO DEAL WITH THE BOARD OF THE COMMISSION. IT'S UH , THE STAFF MEMBER AND IT'S THE CHAIR, SO THERE'S JUST A VARIETY OF INPUT, SO I PERSONALLY DON'T SEE THE NEED TO TAKE AWAY STAFF.

BUT I SEE THE NEED TO ADD THE CHAIR TO THE EQUATION. BECAUSE THIS THIS THIS IS NOT A LIAISON TO THE DEPARTMENT OR TO THE BOARD. IT'S JUST FOR THE SELECTION PROCESS TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, AS OPPOSED TO JUST A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO CAN JUST HAVE THEIR ONE LIMITED THOUGHT. WE NORMALLY DO BETTER WHEN WE HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES MAY PUT IT. YEAH THE PROBLEM WITH THAT DOESN'T WORK, MAYOR AND THE REASON I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. SO WE HAD OUR CURRENTLY WE HAVE TWO STAFF MEMBERS AND A COUNCIL MEMBER THAT SIT ON THE BOARD. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THOSE STAFF MEMBERS DON'T AGREE WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBER, YOU HAVE AN ISSUE. THAT COUNCIL MEMBER IS GOING TO LASH OUT. AND THAT JUST HAPPENED AND, UH, THAT THAT WAS REALLY SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID RIGHT NOW. SO TRYING TO RECTIFY THAT IN THAT WAY THAT YOU'RE BRINGING FORWARD IS NOT GONNA BE THE BENEFIT FOR THE STAFF MEMBER. WE'RE PUTTING STAFF IN A PER, UH, PER, UH, MANNER. SO I'M THINKING WHAT, UH, COUNCILOR, HARRIS SAID. IT'S PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO GO BECAUSE I DID NOT PROPOSE THAT STAFF GO ON THIS COMMITTEE. I AGREE. I'M JUST THAT'S THE BACKGROUND BECAUSE IT WAS YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT IT WASN'T THE STAFF THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM FOR THIS CONVERSATION. SO YOUR SOLUTION IS, LET'S ADD MORE ELECTED

[02:15:04]

OFFICIALS TO THAT EQUATION. TRYING TO. I'M JUST SAYING ANY TIME ANY ANY TIME THAT YOU PUT STAFF IN IN THAT POSITION, IT'S GONNA BE TOUGH FOR THEM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF WHATEVER COMMISSION OR COMMITTEE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WAS ASSIGNED THAT POSITION BY THEIR PEERS. SO THAT BOARD IS SAYING THAT THAT PERSON IS SOMEONE THAT THEY THINK KNOWS THE PROCESS IS THE BEST OR MAYBE SERVED FOR LONGER HAS THAT INSIGHT. SO IF WE'RE GOING WITH THE TWO MEMBERS , PLUS A FLOATING MAYOR, THEN IF WE ADDED THE CHAIR, THERE WOULD STILL BE THE ABILITY OF THE COUNCIL +33 PEOPLE. TO HAVE THAT. POWER AND IT INVITES THEM IN THE CHAIR INTO THE DISCUSSION , AT LEAST IT JUST FOR MY UNDERSTANDING. IT WILL BE THE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF MEMBER AND THE CHAIR TO BE PRESENT. NO STAFF TO COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THE CHAIR TO COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THE CHAIR WOULD BE THE TEAM, THE VOTING OR THE LIKE . THE IN THE INTERVIEW PANEL, THE INTERVIEW PANEL THAT VOTES TO RECOMMEND TO THE CABLE IT WOULD BE 22 COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE MAYOR. HE FLOAT, HE CAN FLOAT TO ALL THREE. ALL THREE OF THEM AND THEN AND THEN THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD THAT'S BEING CONSIDERED, SO WE'RE TAKING STAFF COMPLETELY OUT. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING. I DO WANT I DO WANT TO ASSURE COUNSEL THAT STAFF CAN STILL WEIGH IN AND GIVE THEIR OPINION ON EVERYTHING THAT'S THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. THE BOARD STAFF IS STILL AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS, PUTTING TOGETHER THE APPLICATIONS GETTING THE MEETING TOGETHER. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE A VOTING PART IN THE WHAT'S GOING TO WHAT'S BEING RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL. I THINK THAT'S WHY ARE WE BEING ADDED THEN TO A SECOND? FORWARD IN COMMISSION THAT UPDATING THIS POLICY WILL STRIP AWAY THE OLD ONES SO THAT THERE WILL NO LONGER BE ASSIGNMENTS.

SO WHATEVER BOARD YOU WERE ASSIGNED TO GOES AWAY IF WE ADOPT THIS, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO COME UP WITH A NEW WORKSHOP DISCUSSION OR VOTING PERIOD WHERE EVERYBODY SELECTS OR YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A ROTATING, ROTATING IT, IT WOULD BE ROTATING ASSIGNMENT AND YOU MIGHT BE UP FOR P AND Z. YOU MIGHT BE UP FOR SOMETHING ELSE AND THE FAIR. IT KEEPS IT FAIR ALONG TO PROCESS THAT WAY. YOU'RE NOT JUST ON P AND Z. YOU'RE NOT JUST ON PARTS. THIS WAY. EVERYBODY GETS A TURN AT IT AND IT IT KEEPS THE PROCESS FAIR . BECAUSE IF YOU'RE YOU HAVE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT ARE STUCK ON ONE COMMITTEE, UH, THEY THEY COULD, YOU KNOW, INFLUENCE LIKE PNZ OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THIS WAY. IT'S FLOATING. IT'S ROTATING AND YOU'RE MOVING. THEN WHY DON'T I MEAN, THE CURRENT PROCESS OF US SITTING UP HERE IN OFFERING OUR TIME TO BE ON THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS OF WHICH WE HAVE INTERESTS. SEEMS TO WORK OUT AND IF IT BECAUSE WE'RE ALL GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY I AM INTERESTED IN THIS THING, IT'S ALSO IF YOU DON'T SAY ANYTHING, THEN THAT IS ON YOU BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT OUTSIDE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR INTERNAL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. SO WE HIGHLY APPOINTED TO THOSE WE HAD A SELECTION PROCESS AND WE HAD MY HAND HAVE YOU WE HAD A SELECTION PROCESS, AND EVERYBODY VOTED INTO WHAT? AND WHAT, UH, INTERVIEW PANEL. WE WANTED TO BE A PART OF. I THINK WE ALL AGREED ON THAT BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT INTERESTS. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS A NEED TO CHANGE THAT. BUT IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS ADDED TO THAT, THEN OF COURSE WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE. I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO BE REMOVED FROM THE PANELS THAT I AM A PART OF BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE MY PASSIONS ARE FOR THE ONE THING I DO WANNA ADD, AND THAT WAS BROUGHT UP BY ONE OF ONE OF THE MEMBERS FOR ONE OF THE BOARDS IS THAT THEY THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ASSESSMENT TO CONFLICT OF INTEREST BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME THAT WE SELECTED THAT WE HAD A PROPOSAL FOR SOMEBODY TO JOIN ONE OF THE BOARDS IF YOU HAVE PERSONAL ISSUES WITH ONE OF THE MEMBERS THEN AND YOU ARE A PART OF THAT VOTING PROCESS, AND I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD BE REMOVED, THOUGH. I DO THINK THAT ADDING THE EXTRA ELEMENTS AS OPPOSED TO JUST ONE MEMBER OF COUNCIL. IF THERE'S THREE OF US THAT ARE THERE, IT TAKES AWAY THAT CHANCE OF THAT PERSONAL CONFLICT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS LIKE IN THE PAST. IF THAT ONE PERSON WHO HAD THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE WANTED TO INFLUENCE A SPECIFIC OUTCOME, THEY REALLY HAD A LOT OF POWER TO DO THAT, OR THEY WOULD HAVE TO ASK CUSTOMER, RIZZO SAID.

SPAR WITH STAFF SO THANK YOU. PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THAT I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THERE'S A HUGE NEED TO SOLVE WITH THIS, BUT IT'S FINE WITH ME. IF YOU WANNA TRY IT DIFFERENT, AT LEAST AT LEAST THIS IS ALL ABOUT TRYING TO DELIVER A BETTER PRODUCT AND NOT ABOUT GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, WHICH IS WHAT IT WAS BACK IN THAT FATEFUL DAY. WELL, I'M JUST MOVING. TOBIAS AND I WILL NOT MENTION I. I DON'T I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH JUST THE FLOATING NATURE OF WHERE WE SERVE. BECAUSE I AM NOT I DON'T HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARILY TO BE ON THE TRAIN DEPOT BOARD.

WELL SO, I, I THINK YOU I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. WHY DON'T WE DO A HYBRID VERSION? YOU GOT IT ALL

[02:20:05]

BROUGHT UP. EVERYBODY CAN PICK WHICH BOARD THEY THEY THEIR NUMBER ONE CHOICE IS AND GIVE YOUR ONE AND YOUR TWO AND EVERYBODY'S ONE CHOICES. EVEN IF TWO PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME WINE.

IF TWO PEOPLE WANT PNZ OR TWO PEOPLE WANT ECONOMIC, THEN THEY'LL GO AND THEN AND THEN WE'LL WE CAN JUST SORT OF SPLIT IT OUT FROM THERE, AS OPPOSED TO THE ROTATION, WHICH I'M ALSO OK WITH THE IS LIE. WE DON'T NECESSARILY WANT PEOPLE INTERVIEWING BOARDS TALKING ABOUT IMPROVING THE PRODUCT. THE PRODUCT THE OUTCOME OF THESE IN THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THESE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAN YOU WE SHOULD HAVE PEOPLE IN THE POSITIONS. THE SELECTION POSITIONS. WHO NUMBER ONE ARE INTERESTED IN IT. AND TO HAVE EXPERTISE TO BACK UP THAT INTEREST OTHERWISE. I THINK RESULTS GOT A DIFFERENT TAKE. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE? OBVIOUSLY SO CALM DOWN. HANG ON! HANG ON! CALM DOWN, CALLING. HERE. ALL RIGHT, SO HERE'S WHAT ONE OF THE THINGS WILL HAPPEN. CALM DOWN I'M GOOD WITH THAT WITH THE OTHER BOARDS COMMISSIONS, BUT TMZ IS, UH, COMMISSION THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND VERY INFLUENTIAL. THAT ONE NEEDS TO BE ROTATED. I'M GOOD WITH EVERYTHING ELSE BEING ASSIGNED OPINIONS. HE NEEDS TO BE ROTATED. THAT WAY. NO ONE USES IT POLITICALLY. NOBODY USES IT AS A TOOL, SO WE NEVER HAVE SEEN P NZ USED IN REALLY BAD WAYS IN MY TIME ON THE DIESS BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT CAN BECOME POLITICAL. IT CAN COME BACK AND BACKFIRE US. BUT THAT ONE NEEDS TO BE ROTATING. NO MATTER WHAT.

AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET BEHIND THE REST OF IT. INTERESTING POINT WELL, DEFINITELY. PNC HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BOARD THAT GETS ALL THE ATTENTION ALL THE SPLIT VOTES ALL THE PUSHBACK COMES TO P AND Z. THEY THEY'RE THE ONES SO YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT WRONG ON THAT.

I'M JUST WE CAN WE CAN ROTATE. LEAVE THAT OUT. LET EVERYBODY ELSE PICK. WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE WRONG CHOICE HERE. BUT IF IT'S ROTATION ARE YOU PLANNING ON JUST INFORMING US OF WHAT OUR FIRST INTERVIEW PANELS ARE GOING TO BE? BECAUSE YES, SO WE COULD. THERE'S NO PROBLEM WITH HAVING CERTAIN BOARDS THAT ROTATE AND CERTAIN ONES THAT ARE CHOSEN. WE CAN COME UP WITH A MATRIX OF HOW YOU KNOW YOUR TOP YOUR TOP THREE AND WHO SITS ON THEIR YOU KNOW THEIR TOP ONE AND THEIR TOP THREE OR TOP FOUR HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE. I WOULD I WOULD REQUEST THAT WHEN I BRING THAT FORWARD FOR THAT NEXT MEETING THAT WE LET SEAT AND NO, JUST SO THAT WHEN GETS ON THEIR 3RD AND 4TH, BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE GOT THERE, 1ST AND 2ND, IT CAN GET A LITTLE BIT. IT CAN GET A LITTLE BIT COMPLICATED, BUT WE CAN DO IT. WE CAN WORK IT OUT. WE CAN ALSO HAVE PNC AS ROTATING AND EVERYONE EVERYTHING ELSE IS SET BECAUSE OF PEOPLE'S PREFERENCES, NO PROBLEM. AND THEN THE WAY THAT THAT WOULD WORK IS THE MINUTE THAT THAT CHAIR OPENS UP.

WHOEVER'S ROTATING WHOEVER'S ON THE ROTATION FOR P AND Z. WE WOULD SET THAT MEETING WITH THOSE WITH THOSE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE CHAIR. AND THEN IF YOU'RE CHOSEN BOARD OPENED UP.

WE WOULD JUST SET THE MEETING WITH YOU AND WHOEVER YOU'RE SITTING ON THE COMMITTEE WITH THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PLAN. IT WOULDN'T BE COMPLICATED FROM A FROM AN ADMINISTRATOR SO FAR THAT I THINK WE CAN ALL GO GO ALONG WITH IS ADDING THE CHAIR TO COUNCILOR HARRIS SUGGESTION.

ALSO THE DEPARTMENT LEVEL TRAINING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE WHICH IS TRUE BECAUSE WE USED TO INTERVIEW PEOPLE FOR PARKS AND REC. IN THE QUESTION WE WOULD ASK IS, CAN YOU NAME THE PARKS OF THE CITY OF KYLE? AND IT WOULD BE LIKE ONE OUT OF FOUR PEOPLE COULD NAME ABOUT 20% OF OUR PARKS. JUST THERE'S A LACK OF AND IT'S FINE. IT'S JUST THE TRAINING IS HELPFUL SO THAT PEOPLE CAN REALLY ACTUALLY GET ON BOARDED. SO I LIKE THAT. PROPOSAL AS WELL, SO WE COULD WE COULD AGREE TO THAT INTO YOUR PROPOSAL. AND THEN HAVE YOU TAKE OUR FEEDBACK MAYBE COME UP WITH A PLAN TO PRESENT TO US FOR SPECIFICALLY WHAT THIS IS GONNA BE BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON THIS. I DON'T REALLY CARE. BUT WE NEED. WE NEED SOMETHING WE CAN ALL BUILD UP CAN GET YOU ALL FEEDBACK FIRST, AND THEN WE CAN PUT SOMETHING BETTER. EMAIL GIVE US YOUR TOP THREE PREFERENCES THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WHATEVER THE DEPARTMENT'S EVERYONE CARES ABOUT WHICH ONES THAT YOU DON'T DON'T SAY THAT LOUD BUT THE ONES THAT YOU KNOW, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT AS MUCH AND THEN LESS INTERESTED. I FEEL LIKE I WAS GOOD ABOUT THREE SENTENCES AGO PRIORITIES PRIORITIES TO, SO IS IT OKAY IF WE ADOPT THE PROPOSAL PROPOSALS GOT THE RANDOM. HE'S GONNA BRING BACK AND FIX ON THAT . ALL RIGHT? UM WHERE ARE YOUR OPTIONS DO YOU HAVE, LIKE 123 AND FOUR FIT IF YOU ADOPT THE PROPOSAL WITH THE RECOMMENDED CHANGES, WE CAN FIX EVERYTHING.

AND THEN JUST TO BRING BACK THE MATRIX MAGIC PILL THAT'S GOING TO SOLVE ALL THAT ALL RIGHT? TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 21 AND ADD, AND WITH THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE WOULD ADD THE COMMITTEE TO BE A THREE MEMBER COMMITTEE TO COUNCIL MEMBERS, PLUS THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD IN THE MIDDLE AND THE MAYORS OF FLOATING AS WELL AS THE DEPARTMENT LEVEL TRAINING

[02:25:03]

FOR EACH OF THESE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT MEMBERS ARE BEING ON BOARDED.

MINE WAS CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR, BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE CHURCH POSITION. THAT'S TRUE. CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR. AND THE DEPARTMENT LEVEL TRAINING. THAT'S EMOTIONS.

THEIR SECOND, JUST A CORRECTION BECAUSE YOU SAID THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS SO TO COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE MAYORS OF FLOATING PLUS PLUS THE CHAIR OF THAT BOARD, THAT'S THAT'S THE INTERPRETER OR VICE CHAIR. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE A SECOND ON THAT WONDERFUL MOTION? SECOND MOTION BY THE MAYOR, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TIM THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 21 AS PROPOSED WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS. NUMBER ONE THAT THERE WOULD BE A DEPARTMENT LEVEL TRAINING PROVIDED TO NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS SO THAT THEY CAN BE ON BOARDED FULLY AND NUMBER TWO THAT THE SELECTION COMMITTEE WOULD BE COMPRISED OF TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS OF MAYOR WHO FLOATS AND A CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR OF THE BOARD IN QUESTION. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? YES MA'AM. JUST REAL QUICK. I JUST WANT TO SAY HEY, JESSE, THANKS FOR THE APPLICATION PROCESS. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PHONE CALLS I'VE GOTTEN ABOUT HOW TEDIOUS THAT WAS. THEY WERE HAVING TO DO A COMPLETE JOB RESUME TO APPLY FOR A VOLUNTEER POSITION, BREAKING, SIMPLIFYING THAT AND LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE VOLUNTEERS, NOT EMPLOYEES WHERE THEY NEED REFERENCES AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WAS GOING ON WITH THAT. DEFINITELY IS GOING TO MAKE AN IMPROVEMENT, I THINK ON PEOPLE VOLUNTEERING, MAKING IT SIMPLER TO REMEMBER THAT THEY'RE VOLUNTEERS. THANK YOU NEED FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL THE FAVORITES AI POST, ALRIGHT, MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. OUR NEXT

[22) Consider approval of a resolution for an interlocal agreement by and between the City of San Marcos and the City of Kyle for a water sharing agreement. ]
