[VIII) Items Pulled from Consent Agenda]

AGENDA ITEM SEVEN. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE SPEED LIMIT ON I-35 FRONTAGE ROAD IN THE CITY LIMITS OF KYLE. CUSTOMER. TOBIAS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. BARBARA. I LOOKED AT THE MAP THAT'S SHOWING FROM THE EXISTING ROAD. THIS IS I GUESS THIS IS THE SERVICE ROAD. SO IS THERE GOING TO BE IS THERE ANY OTHER. CHANGES THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO MAKE ALONG THERE, OR IS IT JUST WITHIN THIS AREA. BECAUSE I SEE THAT THEY DID A STUDY THAT FOUND

[00:55:03]

THAT 85 PERCENTILE SPEED WAS 58MPH IN THAT AREA, WHICH I SERIOUSLY DOUBT. IT'S MORE LIKE 78 MILES AN HOUR. THE WAY THAT PEOPLE DRIVE AROUND HERE. I'M JUST WONDERING TO KNOW IF THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY OTHER CHANGES THAT YOU THINK, SIR, THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY NEED VERSUS ON THE NEXT, NEXT COMING MONTHS, WITHIN THE YEAR? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

LEON BARBARA, CITY ENGINEER, COUNCIL MEMBER. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD FOR THE TXDOT WAS, HOW OFTEN DO YOU RUN THESE STUDIES? AND TYPICALLY THEY DON'T RUN THESE VERY OFTEN UNLESS WE ASK THEM FOR SPECIAL SITUATION. MAYBE SOMETHING'S BEEN BUILT THERE THAT'S ADDING A LOT OF TRAFFIC TO THAT ROADWAY. SO ON ANY OF THESE STATE ROADS, WE CAN REQUEST THAT THEY DO STUDIES ON THOSE ROADS. I WAS NOTIFIED THEY HAD DONE THIS STUDY. THE PERSON I TALKED TO WANTED TO REFRESH AND CLARIFY THE SPEED LIMITS ALONG THE SOUTHBOUND FRONTAGE ROAD AND THE NORTHBOUND FRONTAGE ROAD. HE WENT ALL THE WAY FROM YARRINGTON TO HILLSIDE TERRACE. SO PART OF THE STUDY WAS IMBUED AND PART OF THE STUDY WAS IN KYLE. THIS SECTION OF ROADWAY HERE IS RIGHT THERE BETWEEN 1626. AND IF YOU GO ABOUT 11 OR 1200 FEET NORTH OF BEEBE, THAT SECTION, ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS, IS POSTED AT 45 MILES AN HOUR. I DID LOOK THROUGH THERE. THERE IS ONE SIGN THAT SAYS 45 MILES AN HOUR, WHICH REALLY SURPRISED ME BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THAT THAT PARTICULAR SECTION OF ROADWAY, I WAS THINKING MORE LIKE 60, NOT 78, BUT BUT I KNOW THEY DO FLY THROUGH THERE. SO RIGHT NOW THE NORTHBOUND FRONTAGE ROAD WILL BE 55 ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CITY.

I DON'T EXPECT THEY'LL BE DOING ANY MORE STUDIES ON THAT IN A GOOD WHILE, UNLESS SOMETHING DRASTIC CHANGES THERE. OKAY. NOW JUST JUST FOR YOU TO NOTE THE SOUTHBOUND IS 55 UP TO MARKETPLACE AVENUE FROM MARKETPLACE AVENUE SOUTHBOUND TO THE CITY LIMITS. IT'S 50 MILES AN HOUR. IF COUNCIL REMEMBERS THE MOBILITY COMMITTEE THAT WE HAD A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, THEY HAD A CHOICE TO MAKE OF WHETHER TO KEEP IT AT 55 OR 50. THEY CHOSE TO KEEP IT AT 50. SO TXDOT HAS AGREED TO KEEP THAT AT 50. SO THAT'S NONE OF THE OTHER SPEED LIMITS WERE CHANGED EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE THAT'S THERE BETWEEN 1626 AND JUST NORTH OF BEEBE ROAD. OKAY. YEAH. BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN PEOPLE MAKE THAT THIS IS THE SOUTHBOUND RIGHT, OR IS IT NORTHBOUND? NORTHBOUND? NORTHBOUND, YEAH. WHEN THE PEOPLE CROSS THE BRIDGE AND THEY START HEADING TOWARDS THE HIGHWAY, THEY'RE ALREADY GOING IN EXCESS OF 70 MILES AN HOUR, AND THEN IT JUST HITS RIGHT THERE. SO I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY OTHER SPOTS ALONG OUR CITY LIMITS THAT WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO GO AHEAD AND CHANGE THAT. WE COULD GO AHEAD AND DO IT WITHIN THE, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO. BUT I MEAN, IF WE GOT TO INCREASE IT BECAUSE OF THE SPEED AND IT'S A LOT OF IT'S BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC FLOW. SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM SEVEN SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER TOBIA, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MCKINNEY THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? YEAH. JUST A REMINDER, ANYTIME THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT MOVING SPEEDS, SPEED STUDY HAS TO BE DONE. IF IT'S A TEXTILE ROAD THEN WE NEED TEX-DOT INVOLVED.

SO THAT WAY WE KNOW THAT WE THE CITIZENS KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT JUST CHANGING SPEED LIMITS.

THERE'S A PROCESS THAT HAPPENS IN ORDER TO DO THAT. SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT FORWARD.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. NEXT UP, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH WEAVER AND TIDWELL LLP IN THE AMOUNT OF $58,650, TO CONDUCT A RISK ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S CRITICAL ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESSES. COUNCILMAN ZUNIGA, YOU PULLED THE ITEM. YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. YES, ROSIE, GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH IT. BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. SURE. ROSIE, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. THIS ITEM ALLOWS US TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH WEAVER AND TIDWELL TO CONDUCT A RISK ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS OF OUR ORGANIZATION. SO THE CITY OF KYLE IS REQUESTING THAT WEAVER WILL WORK WITH US TO PERFORM A RISK BASED ASSESSMENT. THIS ASSESSMENT WILL FOCUS ON IDENTIFYING, ANALYZING, AND EVALUATING THE CITY'S EXPOSURE TO INHERENT RISK IN OUR KEY OPERATIONAL AND BUSINESS PROCESSES. WE WILL ACCORDINGLY RECEIVE RECOMMENDATIONS TO ADDRESS AND MITIGATE THOSE RISKS. THE GOAL OF THIS STUDY IS TO ENHANCE OUR RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND ENSURE RESILIENCE OF OUR OPERATIONS. WE WILL HELP TO THIS. THIS STUDY WILL HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THE CITY OF KYLE STRUCTURE, FUNCTIONS AND ACTIVITIES TO IDENTIFY RISKS. THEY WILL IDENTIFY AND RANK HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES BY PROCESS, AREA AND GROUPS, AND PROVIDE RISK MAPS OR RISK MAPS AND RANKINGS TO ASSESS PROBABILITY AND IMPACT AND CONCLUDING WITH RECOMMENDING MITIGATION STEPS AND DELIVERING A FINAL REPORT WITH MANAGEMENT FEEDBACK. SO IT'S FUNDAMENTALLY BRINGING IN A CONSULTANT THAT

[01:00:03]

WILL HELP US TO ANALYZE OUR OPERATIONS AND IDENTIFY AREAS THAT WE WANT TO LOOK AT INTERNALLY TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE MITIGATING RISK THAT COMES WITH THOSE OPERATIONS. JUST TO ADD A FEW MORE WORDS ON THAT, IT'S REALLY THE FOUNDATION FOR CREATING WHAT WE WOULD CALL AN INTERNAL AUDIT PROGRAM HERE. AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS TO LOOK AT ALL OF OUR PROCESSES AND OPERATIONS ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION, AND THEN WE WILL RANK THOSE BASED ON THE RISKS THAT ARE PRESENT IN THOSE OPERATIONS. AND THEN WE'LL LOOK AT BRINGING IN INDIVIDUAL AUDITS AND PROCESS REVIEWS ON EACH ONE OF THOSE TO IMPROVE THEM. SO THINGS THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT IS CASH HANDLING, OVERTIME CONTROLS, PAYROLL PROCESSING, AP VENDOR SETUP, THINGS LIKE THAT THAT GO ALL THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION AND TRYING TO PRIORITIZE AND THEN AND THEN MAKE SURE WE DEVELOP IMPROVEMENTS FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE. SO IT'S NECESSARY FOR BUDGET AUDITS. IT'S AN INTERNAL AUDIT COMPONENT. SO IT ALLOWS US TO MAKE SURE WE STRENGTHEN ALL OF OUR PROCESSES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION. BUT IN A IN A MANAGED WAY. SO WHY DO WE NEED AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT TO COME AND REVIEW THAT? WHY CAN'T LIKE WE TAKE THAT IN-HOUSE AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO DEPARTMENTS OF WHAT'S A RISKY ENDEAVOR, WHAT IS NOT A RISKY ENDEAVOR. YEAH. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO IS WE CERTAINLY DO THAT ALREADY, BUT WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE IS A FORMAL, FORMALLY DEVELOPED PROGRAM THAT THAT CAN ALLOW.

YOU. NO GO AHEAD. SORRY. WE WANT TO HAVE A FORMAL PROGRAM THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL THEN WORK IN CONCERT WITH OUR AUDIT FIRM SO THAT THEY'LL UNDERSTAND THE PRIORITIZATION THAT WE HAVE FOR THE INTERNAL AUDIT PROGRAM. BRIAN, IS THIS FOR THE ADMIN SIDE OF THE BUILDING? THIS ISN'T FOR. KP, IT'S FOR IT'S FOR ALL PROCESSES THAT WE HAVE IN ANY PART OF THE ORGANIZATION. SO ANY KIND OF PROCESS THAT GOES THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION OKAY.

WOULD THAT INCLUDE COMPUTER. RIGHT. IT WILL LOOK AT ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS AS WELL. ANY KIND OF IT RELATED PROCESSES, CONTROL POINTS THAT WE HAVE. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE LOOKED AT FROM AN EXTERNAL AUDIT WHEN WE BRING THOSE IN, BUT IN A LIMITED WAY, THEY LOOK AT IT UP UNTIL A LEVEL OF WHAT THEY CALL MATERIALITY. THIS ALLOWS US TO DO A DEEPER DIVE AND LOOK AT THAT IN MORE, MORE DETAIL. SO WHEN THEY EXCUSE ME, GO AHEAD. SO WHEN THEY'RE LOOKING AT THOSE, THEY'RE LOOKING AT WHAT OUR CURRENT PROCESSES ARE AND EVALUATING WHETHER THOSE ARE ADEQUATE. RIGHT. AND SAYING WHAT MIGHT BE IMPROVED AND HOW TO IMPROVE IT. RIGHT. SO THIS WOULD BE TO HELP US IDENTIFY WHICH OF THOSE PROCESSES ARE THE HAVE THE HIGHEST RISK AND THE AREAS THAT WE THINK HAVE THE MOST POTENTIAL FOR IMPROVEMENT. AND THEN TO PUT TOGETHER A PLAN FOR THOSE THAT WE WOULD ADDRESS. YES, MA'AM. SO NO INTERNAL. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE, ONLY THE EXTERNAL PART, WHICH I'M AWARE THAT WE DO IT FOR THE BUDGET SEASON. THERE'S ALWAYS YOU'RE REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE AN EXTERNAL FINANCIAL AUDIT, WHICH WE DO, AND WE GET A CLEAN OPINION ON THAT. BUT THIS IS TO TAKE THAT ADDITIONAL STEP TO DO EVEN MORE WORK ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL SIDE OF OUR OPERATIONS. OKAY. YEAH, THAT THAT WOULD I LIKE THAT YOU PROVIDED MORE EXAMPLES BECAUSE I JUST WAS NOT UNDERSTANDING ENOUGH OF IT SLIDES AND ALMOST SAID THERE'S NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION TO DECIDE ON THIS AT ALL. SO THANK YOU. GLAD I COULD HELP. MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM EIGHT SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER ZUNIGA, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM, THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM EIGHT. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE, AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. MOVING ALONG. NEXT UP, AGENDA ITEM 12. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO PURCHASE PROPERTY LOCATED ADJACENT TO 110 WESTERN COVE, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $100,000. MR. LOPEZ, JUST TAKE IT FROM THE TOP. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL DAVID LOPEZ, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION. ALL RIGHT.

SO BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THIS PROJECT IS JUST SOME SITE INFORMATION, PROJECT HISTORY, LAND OFFER AND OPTIONS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION SITE INFORMATION. THIS IS LOCATED IN THE SILVERADO HOA COMMUNITY. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THE SPRING BRANCH CONNECTOR FOR THE VIBE TRAIL. TOTAL ACRES FOR THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION IS 7.3 ACRES. ABOUT HALF OF THE PROPERTY IS IN THE FLOODPLAIN.

HALF IS OUTSIDE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS, AGAIN IS FOR VIBE TRAIL CONNECTION PIECE PROJECT.

HISTORY. IN SPRING OF 2019, THE CITY WAS AWARDED A GRANT FROM TPWD TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT AS A TRAILS GRANT FOR $200,000 FOR CONSTRUCTION OR HARD COSTS FOR THIS PROJECT. IN

[01:05:06]

DECEMBER OF 2021, WE HAVE SCHAUMBURG AND POLK. THE DESIGN CONSULTING FIRM HAD COMPLETED 90% OVERALL DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT, WHICH MEANS IT INCLUDES SURVEYS, TOPOGRAPHICAL TREES AND THEN ALL THE ENGINEERING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SITE. GRADING DRAINAGE PLANS. IN WINTER 2023, THE DESIGN WAS COMPLETED FOR THE PROJECT. IT'S ALMOST TWO MILES FOR THIS CONNECTION PIECE AND A LITTLE BIT OF LAND. HISTORY. IN EARLY 2024, SILVERADO HOA EXPRESSED SOME INTEREST IN SELLING THE PROPERTY, AND THERE WAS A DESIRE TO REMOVE SOME DEED RESTRICTIONS ON THE PROPERTY. IN JANUARY 2025, THE HOA BOARD VOTED TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO THE CITY.

SO WE WANTED TO ALSO TALK ABOUT THE WALK RATE IMPACTS FOR ACQUIRING THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND HAS A TEN MINUTE WALK METRIC THAT MEASURES HOW CLOSE RESIDENTS OF A COMMUNITY LIVE CLOSE TO A PARK. SO IF YOU'RE WITHIN A TEN MINUTE WALK, YOU'RE WITHIN ABOUT HALF A MILE. IN ACQUIRING THIS PROPERTY, WE JUST WANTED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT IT INCREASED THE CITY OF KYLE'S OVERALL WALK FROM 73.2% TO 75.4%. AND ON THE LAND OFFER, THE PURCHASE OFFER WAS $100,000. AGAIN, SEVEN ACRES, HALF IN THE FLOODPLAIN, HALF OUT. THE TRAIL DESIGN ACCOMMODATES FOR DRAINAGE PATTERNS. THAT MEANS IT'S NO ADVERSE IMPACT. IT'S NEUTRAL OR SLIGHTLY IMPROVED. THE COST PER ACRE WAS A LITTLE OVER ALMOST $14,000 ON THE DETAILS. THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER, CENTEX HOME, IS GOING TO REMOVE DEED RESTRICTIONS FOR THIS PROPERTY.

SO I GUESS DEED RESTRICTIONS WAS FOR STRICT HOA USAGE, AND THIS WOULD MAKE THE TRAIL ACCESSIBLE TO ALL BY REMOVING THOSE RESTRICTIONS. SO THE OPTIONS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING ARE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS OR TO DENY THE RESOLUTION, AND I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENGINEERING ON THIS PROPERTY. I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD VIBE TRAIL, BUT I REALLY AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENGINEERING. THIS PROPERTY DOES FLOOD SERIOUSLY AND EVEN INTO THE BACKYARDS OF SOME OF THE RESIDENTS. THE FLOW IS SUCH THAT KIDS HAVE HAD TO BE RESCUED FROM THE MUD AND THE WATER. I WOULD LIKE. I DON'T HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO US PURCHASING THE PROPERTY, BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING DONE SO THAT THE RESIDENTS CAN BE AS ASSURED AS POSSIBLE THAT WE ARE IMPROVING THE FLOOD ISSUES RATHER THAN MAKING THEM WORSE. THANK YOU, DOCTOR HARRIS. AND WE CAN LOOK AT WHAT'S WITHIN LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION. AND IF THERE ARE CONCERNS THAT ARE BEYOND LIMITS OF CONSTRUCTION AS WE APPROACH THE 100% PLAN SET AND BRING THAT BACK TO YOU ALL FOR CONSIDERATION, WE CAN ALSO BRING A SUGGESTED SURVEY AND DESIGN IMPACT FOR THE ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING NEEDED. I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. I'VE VISITED THAT PROPERTY. IT'S BEEN ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF OUT THERE, WALKING AND TALKING TO THE RESIDENTS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT GETS A HEAVY RAIN, AND IT'S A VERY STRANGE PIECE OF PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, WITH THE BIG BERM THAT OUR UTILITIES EASEMENT IS IN A FLOOD, A FLOOD ZONE OR FLOW BY THE FENCES THAT COMES FROM BROOKS CROSSING AND THEN THE CREEK THAT FLOODS DRAMATICALLY. I SAW THE VIDEOS OF THAT. IT IS DRAMATIC WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY. OTHER THAN THAT, IT TENDS TO BE A DRY CREEK. IT'S EPHEMERAL. SO I THINK HAVING SOME ADDITIONAL LOOKS AT THAT AND BEING VERY CAREFUL ABOUT WHERE, WHERE ARE WE REALLY GOING TO PUT THE VIBE TRAIL? THAT WAS A BIG QUESTION. WELL, WE'VE GOT SOME LANDS HERE. WE'VE GOT THE BERM HERE, WE'VE GOT SOME LAND HERE. BUT NONE OF IT LOOKED QUITE, QUITE RIGHT FOR THE TRAIL. SO I THINK SOME ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING WOULD BE GREAT. BUT I DON'T HAVE OBJECTIONS TO THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, COUNCILMEMBER ZUNIGA, DOCTOR HARRIS, YOU SAID IT'S A DRY CREEK. IS THAT IS IT A DRY CREEK OR. YES. SO THERE'S IT'S EPHEMERAL, WHICH MEANS WHEN IT RAINS, IT TURNS INTO ONLY COLLECTS WATER FOR PERIODS OF TIME. YEAH. IT'S FINE TO MOVE THROUGH BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MY QUESTION WAS. HOW WOULD SOMEBODY WALK A TRAIL THROUGH, I GUESS THE WATER, IF IT'S IF IT'S DEEP, I GUESS IT WOULD BE ON THE TRAIL WOULD BE ON THE SIDE OF THE CREEK, NOT OVER IT, BUT BUT I GUESS THERE'S A STRIP DOWN AT THE BOTTOM. YOU'RE PROPOSING ALL OF THAT TO BE THE TRAIL AREA DOWN? YES. IF THERE WERE ANY, LET'S SAY, THE SHEETING OF WATER THAT CAUSED SILTATION, IT'S

[01:10:03]

STANDARD PRACTICE FOR PARKS AND RECREATION TO REMOVE ANY SILT THAT MIGHT COLLECT ON THE TRAIL, JUST FOR SAFETY. AND WE WOULD MARK IT IF THE TRAIL IS UNSAFE OR IF THERE'S WATER OVER IT.

MARK OR CLOSE. YES, MA'AM. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS, MOTIONS THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. ITEM NUMBER 12. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 12. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION, COUNCILMAN RIZZO? YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT SAFETY ON THE TRAIL AND THE RESIDENTS THAT THEY HAD A CONCERN ABOUT, MAYBE PEOPLE ON THE TRAIL. I THINK THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, BAD HAPPENING OR PEOPLE THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT ON THE TRAIL COMING THROUGH THERE. BUT ACTUALLY, I JUST WANTED TO PUT PEOPLE'S MINDS AT EASE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE A TRAIL THAT'S LIT AND YOU HAVE A TRAIL THAT IS TRAFFIC, IT THERE'S LESS CRIME ON THOSE TRAILS. AND THE REASON WHY IS THE MAJORITY OF OUR CRIME THAT WE'RE GETTING IN OUR WOODED SPACES ARE PLACES THAT PEOPLE DON'T REALLY GO. IF YOU GO TO THE BACK OF WATERLEAF, AND IF YOU GO TO THE AREAS THAT DON'T HAVE A TRAIL, YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE MESSING WITH THE TREES OR CUTTING STUFF. THEY'RE STARTING FIRES. THERE'S ALL KINDS OF HAZARDS THAT ARE HAPPENING. YOU SEE LITTER, YOU SEE DRINKING A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING IN THOSE AREAS. IF YOU COME UP BEHIND SAINT ANTHONY'S, A WOODED AREA THERE, SAME THING IS HAPPENING THERE. WE'VE HAD TO GET SOME YOUNG PEOPLE OUT OF THERE BECAUSE OF BAD THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON THERE AS WELL. IT'S WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THAT VISIBILITY OR PEOPLE GOING BY THERE THAT YOU CREATE AN ELEMENT WHERE YOU KNOW SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN. THIS PLACE BEING VERY SHELTERED AND CLOSED, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ALWAYS A GOOD THING BECAUSE THAT DOES INSTITUTE CRIME AND BAD THINGS GOING ON IN THERE. SO HAVING A TRAIL THROUGH THERE, IT WOULD JUST BE A PLUS. THE OTHER THING I THINK ABOUT THE CONNECTIVITY THROUGH THERE TO WALLACE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND SEEING THE KIDS, I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE IMPROVEMENTS ON 150 FOR THE KIDS THAT PASS BY, BUT THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT IN ITSELF TO ALLOW KIDS AND MAYBE EVEN CUT DOWN TRAFFIC WHERE KIDS COULD WALK OVER TO WALLACE AND MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE. SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT MY THOUGHTS THERE. I THINK THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT, AND I THINK THAT WILL PAN OUT TO BE TRUE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU. I WAS REMINDED, EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T NOTICES. FIRST READING AGENDA ITEM SEVEN ON THE SPEED LIMIT WAS A FIRST READING THAT'S ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD. ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT ITEM BEING FINALLY PASSED? ALL RIGHT.

SEEING NONE, THAT ITEM IS FINALLY PASSED. NOW WE'LL GO TO AGENDA ITEM 13. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO TASK ORDER NUMBER SIX TO MAYOR CONSTRUCTION, INC FOR AN ADDITIONAL DESIGN AND COORDINATION FOR THE ROAD WEST PROJECT OF THE 2022 ROAD BOND PROGRAM IN THE AMOUNT OF $90,313.20, FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $1.728596 MILLION FOR TASK ORDER NUMBER SIX. MR. ZUNIGA, THIS YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. THANK YOU. ROSIE, I THINK IT'S PRETTY SHORT. YOU CAN JUST GO THROUGH IT. SURE. THIS IS ONE OF OUR 2022 ROAD BOND PROJECTS, AS APPROVED IN NOVEMBER OF 2022, THIS PROJECT WILL REALIGN THE SHARP CURVES OF BEEBE ROAD BETWEEN I-35 AND EAST OF REPUBLIC DRIVE. DESIGN IS FOR AN ADDITIONAL 882FT OF 16 INCH WATER LINE, INCLUDING CONNECTIONS TO EXISTING AND PROPOSED WATER LINES. THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL COUNCIL ACTION FOR THIS ITEM, THE PRE BOND PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING COMBINED EAST AND WEST PACKAGE WAS IN MAY 2022. SCHEMATIC DESIGN WAS APPROVED IN MARCH OF 2023.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES AND THE CULTURAL RESOURCES SURVEY WERE CONSIDERED. IN NOVEMBER OF 2023.

ALIGNMENT WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL IN JANUARY OF 2024, PSA IN MARCH OF 2024. THE RETAINING WALL DESIGN WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2024 FOR AMERICAN STRUCTURE POINT. THEY'VE BEEN CONTRACTED FOR EACH TASK ORDER FOR BUNTON CREEK ROAD. MARCH 7TH OF 2024. COUNCIL APPROVED TASK ORDER NUMBER SIX AND SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2024 COUNCIL APPROVED AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO TASK ORDER NUMBER SIX. TOTAL DESIGN COSTS EXCLUDING AMENDMENT TWO TO TASK ORDER SIX IS $1,638,283.03, INCLUDING AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO TASK ORDER NUMBER SIX IS. $1,728,596.23. AND WE HAVE LOTS OF STAFF HERE THAT CAN ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE. SO I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS THE AMENDMENT TO THIS TASK ORDER. IS IT ESSENTIALLY TO INSTALL THIS 800FT OF A 16 INCH WATER LINE? IS THAT THAT'S ALL WE'RE GETTING? THAT IS CORRECT.

THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING. SO WAS THE WATER LINE NOT PLANNED PREVIOUSLY? I MEAN, WHY IS THIS

[01:15:03]

AN AMENDMENT? BECAUSE I'M THINKING IF WE'RE DOING SO MUCH UTILITY. COORDINATE, OUR COORDINATION. LIKE WHY? WHY ARE WE LOOKING AT AN AMENDMENT LIKE, WHY WASN'T THIS LOOKED AT IN THE INITIAL SCHEMATICS? I MEAN, DOES IT HAVE TO DO I'M GOING TO NEED SOME HELP FROM SOME OF OUR WATER AND TECHNICAL STAFF. BUT I THINK THIS WAS THE THERE'S A LOT OF ACTIVITY FOR DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS THE CARAWAY TRACK THAT'S IN THAT AREA. IT'S ALSO GOT A LARGE MULTIFAMILY PROJECT THERE. SO SOME OF THIS IS MAKING SURE WE HAVE THE RIGHT INFRASTRUCTURE TO SERVE ALL THE USES THAT ARE GOING TO BE THERE AND MIGHT NEED MR. MURPHY OR MR. KLATT OR TREMBLE OR ANY OF THOSE FOLKS TO HELP ME WITH SOME OF THE TECHNICAL DETAILS ON THAT. BUT THAT'S THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE. IT'S A LARGE CORRIDOR THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF NEW USES. AND KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE PLANNING OF THIS ROAD, THE CARAWAY TRACK HADN'T SOLD YET.

SO WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE USE WAS GOING TO BE. SO WHEN WE WENT TO DESIGN, BEFORE WE STARTED DESIGN, JUST BEFORE THE BOND AND THEN AFTER THE BOND, WE LATER ON FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CARAWAY TRACK. SO A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT YOU SEE NOW COMING IN IS NOT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T PLAN FOR IT, WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW TO PLAN FOR IT. I MEAN, I REMEMBER WE HAD THE DISCUSSION ABOUT NEWQUEST, AND I THINK WE NEEDED TO HAVE A BIGGER SIZED WATER LINE. IS THIS IS THIS THAT RELATIONSHIP IN THERE? THERE'S ANOTHER PROJECT RELATED TO THAT AS WELL. BUT THIS THE NEW QUEST PROJECT WAS APPROVED BY MY MEMORY IS CORRECT AT THE END OF 2023. AND SO MR. RIZZO IS CORRECT. THAT WAS NOT A PROJECT THAT WAS CONTEMPLATED AT THE TIME THAT THE ORIGINAL ROAD BOND PROJECT WENT FORWARD. BUT THIS IS JUST PART OF THE WORK WE'RE DOING TO LOOP THE SYSTEM, MAKE SURE WE HAVE GOOD WATER PRESSURE AND ALL THE LINES THAT ARE NEEDED. THERE'S ANOTHER PROJECT ALSO FOR NEW QUEST, I THINK IT'S CALLED THE DAISY LINE PROJECT, AND MR. MURPHY MIGHT HAVE TO HELP ME WITH THAT, BUT THAT'S THERE'S MANY WATER LINE PROJECTS. SO I GUESS, LIKE, WHY WOULD STRUCTURE POINT BE USING COBB FINDLAY? LIKE, WHY AREN'T WE DIRECTLY JUST USING A DIRECT CONTRACTOR IN THIS PROJECT? WELL, THIS IS FOR THE DESIGN, CORRECT? OKAY. RIGHT. SO YEAH.

SO I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE'S TWO, TWO, THERE'S A SUBCONTRACTOR THAT'S TAKING THE MAJORITY OF THIS DRAW. YEAH. SO GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL. MIKE TRIMBLE DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION. SO COB FINDLAY ON THIS PROJECT. AND WE'VE USED THEM ON ON SEVERAL PROJECTS IN THIS PROGRAM HAVE UTILITIES COORDINATION AND WATER EXPERTISE. AND SO THEY'RE USED IN THAT CAPACITY. SO ON THIS PROJECT THEY'RE BEING USED IN THAT CAPACITY TO DO THAT WORK.

SO TYPICALLY ON PROJECTS LIKE THIS YOU'LL HAVE SUBCONSULTANTS THAT WILL HAVE SPECIFIC EXPERTISE, WHETHER IT'S UTILITY COORDINATION, WHETHER IT'S A RIGHT OF WAY, ANY OTHER TYPES OF EXPERTISE. SO FINDLAY IN THIS CASE IS BEING USED FOR THAT EXPERTISE. OKAY. AND I GUESS MY OTHER QUESTION FOR YOU, BRIAN, IS NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE RECLAIMED WATER. I NOTICED THAT IN THE BACK UP HERE, RECLAIMED LINES ARE BEING REMOVED FROM THE FROM THE INITIAL DESIGNS. IS THAT A PROJECT THAT IS BEING DE-EMPHASIZED? I CAN'T TELL YOU.

I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE. I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS ON THE RECLAIMED LINES HERE. I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY RECLAMATION LINES BEING REMOVED FROM THIS, BUT I'LL FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND SEE IF THERE'S. BUT I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY OF THAT. SOME OF THE COST IS TO REMOVE, RECLAIMED OR NOT TO INSTALL THE RECLAIMED LINES. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE RECLAIMED LINES THERE, BUT IT'S SAYING THAT THERE'S WORK BEING DONE TO REMOVE THEM FROM THE WELL. THIS IS A BRAND NEW ROAD, RIGHT? WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WHAT I READ THERE, BUT IT SAID IT MENTIONS THE RECLAIMED LINES. WHERE IN THE BACKUP HERE. I'M SORRY. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO. SO I GUESS WE CAN JUST GET BACK TO THAT IF YOU COULD. YEAH. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. I'M NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING. YEAH, I'LL FOLLOW UP ON THAT, BUT I'M NOT AWARE OF ITS REMOVAL. WHAT I WOULD WHAT I WAS READING, IT SAID REMOVAL OF RECLAIMED LINES FROM, FROM THE INITIAL DESIGN. ANYTHING RECLAIMED WATER LINES FROM THE PROJECT. IF WE NEED TO MOVE SOMETHING OR RELOCATE SOMETHING. I MEAN, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, TYPICAL COURSE OF BUSINESS IN PROJECTS LIKE THIS, BUT I'LL CHECK ON THAT AND MAKE SURE. OKAY. AND I GUESS THE OTHER THING IS, SORRY, IT'S MORE THAN ONE QUESTION. THERE'S A LOT OF CHANGES TO UTILITIES THAT IT SEEMS LIKE WE END UP HAVING TO GO BACK AND REDESIGN. RE REDRAW. IS THAT A CONTINUING THEME THAT WE WILL BE SEEING ON THESE ROADS? IT SAYS PC REDRAWS. IS THAT PART OF THE CONTRACT. ISN'T THAT PART OF THE 60% OF THE OF THE REDRAWS ARE PC UTILITIES OR UTILITIES THAT WE DIDN'T WORK

[01:20:02]

OUT. YEAH. SO IN THE COORDINATION YOU KNOW YOU'LL GET AS BUILTS, YOU KNOW ALIGNMENTS OF THE UTILITIES. AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND BASICALLY TRUE THAT UP. AS YOU GET FURTHER INTO DESIGN. RIGHT. SO YOU'LL HAVE A CERTAIN ALIGNMENT. LET'S SAY YOU HAD 30%. YOU HAVE A CERTAIN ALIGNMENT, BUT YOU DO ADDITIONAL WORK AND THEN YOU COORDINATE WITH THOSE UTILITIES, WHETHER IT'S WATER UTILITIES, ELECTRIC UTILITIES, AND THEN YOU GET BETTER INFORMATION. AND THAT MAY BE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT OFF. AND SO YOU MIGHT NEED TO REVISE THE ALIGNMENT. AND THERE MIGHT BE SOME REDRAWS INCLUDED. TYPICALLY IT SHOULDN'T BE EXTENSIVE. IT'S JUST MORE OF A TRUING UP PROCESS. THAT'S KIND OF HOW DESIGN WORKS AS YOU GO FROM SCHEMATIC ALL THE WAY TO 100%. BUT TYPICALLY YOU HAVE THAT WORKED OUT, PARTICULARLY AS YOU'RE GETTING INTO 90%. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS AS I'M COMING IN THAT I'M WORKING WITH OUR GSE TO DO IS TO STANDARDIZE OUR COORDINATION PROCESSES WITH OUR UTILITIES. AND SO WE ARE WORKING TO MINIMIZE THOSE. OKAY. YEAH. BECAUSE, I MEAN, I KNOW THAT THERE'S REALLY NOTHING OUT THERE YET. SO IT SEEMS LIKE WE COULD JUST LAY THE PIPE. BUT I GUESS MOST OF THE COST IS IN THE, THE DESIGNS OF THE, THE WATER LINES OUT THERE. YEAH. AND YOU GOT TO GET THE DESIGNS RIGHT AND THEN YOU CAN GO OUT AND DO THE WORK. AND SO YEAH IT'S A THERE'S A COST TO IT. YEAH. FOR SURE. IF I MAY ADD, MR. MAYOR THOSE WERE MY QUESTIONS. YEAH. I GUESS WHAT WE MAY ADD IS THIS IS AREA THAT ESPECIALLY EAST OF KYLE THAT WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THAT HAS NO INFRASTRUCTURE. RIGHT. NO WATER LINES, NO POWER LINES, NOTHING. IT'S JUST ALL FARMLAND BACK THEN. SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INSTALLING WATER LINES AT THE LAST SAY NOT AT THE LAST MINUTE BECAUSE WE'RE THERE'S DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO EVENTUALLY START COMING IN HERE. SO WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO LAY DOWN. I ALWAYS USE THE TERM WATER HOSES HERE, WATER HOSES THERE. AND IT'S GOING TO CHANGE THE SCOPE OF THE DESIGN BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT KIND OF ROADBLOCK YOU MIGHT RUN ACROSS.

OKAY. AS THEY'RE DIGGING THROUGH AND THEY'RE DOING THE DESIGN, YOU MIGHT FIND A SMALL LITTLE SPRING THAT WE MIGHT NEED TO LOOK INTO. OR THERE'S A ALLEYWAY OR A RIGHT OF WAY AND IT'S GOING TO CHANGE. IT'S GOING TO MOVE IT MORE TO THE LEFT, MORE TO THE RIGHT. IT'S THE SAME DEBATE WE'RE HAVING OVER HERE ON STAGECOACH WITH THIS TREE. YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T YOU JUST MOVE IT THIS WAY VERSUS THAT WAY? YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY COULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS BIG PROBLEM 40 YEARS AGO. SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE'VE WE'RE GOING TO RUN ACROSS AS WE ARE STARTING TO DEVELOP OUR CITY, ESPECIALLY EAST OF KYLE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE. SO WE MIGHT RUN INTO THESE, I WOULD SAY CHANGE ORDERS OR REALIGNMENTS OR READJUSTMENTS AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. AS WE'RE DEVELOPING OUT IN THESE AREAS, WE'RE NEEDING TO BRING THE INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS WATER, GAS LINES, POSSIBLY ELECTRICAL LINES, AND A LOT OF IT'S GOING TO BE BURIED UNDERNEATH. WE'RE GOING TO RUN INTO SOME OF THOSE ISSUES WHERE YOU HAVE OLD PIPE THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO GO AROUND. SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND. I GUESS THAT'S HOW I'M LOOKING AT THIS. WHENEVER I SEE A LOT OF THESE CHANGES, ESPECIALLY EAST OF KYLE, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING YET. BUT I'M SURE THERE'S A BIG REASON WHY THE ENGINEERING HAS TO CHANGE IS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO ALIGN IT WITH DIFFERENT THINGS. PC HAS GOT TO BE INVOLVED. R WAS GOING TO BE INVOLVED AND YOU KNOW, COUNTY AND SO FORTH. SO I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT. NO, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. COUNCIL MEMBER AS YOU MOVE THROUGH DESIGN, YOU'RE DOING ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS. YOU'RE COORDINATING WITH UTILITIES AND YOU MIGHT FIND NEW FEATURES. ONE THING THAT'S VERY COMMON IN CENTRAL TEXAS IS FINDING KARST FEATURES. WE HAVE A LOT OF LIMESTONE. YOU FIND THOSE LITTLE CAVERNOUS FEATURES UNDERGROUND. YOU'VE GOT TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT. YOU'VE GOT TO ADJUST YOUR DESIGN FOR THAT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF FEATURES, TOPOGRAPHY AS YOU GET MORE GEOMETRIC, ALL THAT INFORMATION. YEAH. YOU MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ALONG THE WAY. SO YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S JUST A PART OF GETTING THESE PROJECTS DONE. THANK YOU. KASPAR HAUSER. YEAH. COUNCIL MEMBER ZUNIGA I JUST DID A CONTROL F SEARCH FOR WATER IN ALL THREE BACKUP DOCS. I DON'T SEE A SINGLE REFERENCE TO ANYTHING REGARDING RECLAIMED WATER. AND MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 13 SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER HEIZER, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER RESO TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 13. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? NO, I TOTALLY GET WHAT Y'ALL ARE SAYING. I JUST WAS I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS THERE AND WE FORGOT TO WE NEEDED TO HAVE A WATER LINE THERE SOMEHOW. SO WE'RE DOING IT MUCH LATER. SO WITH DIFFERENT COSTS. BUT THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL

RIGHT. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 16. THIS IS FIRST AND FINAL READING. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KYLE, TEXAS, ACCEPTING AND APPROVING A SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AND ASSESSMENT ROLLS FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE OF THE SIX CREEKS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, MAKING A FINDING OF SPECIAL BENEFIT TO THE PROPERTY

[01:25:03]

IN IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE OF THE DISTRICT. LEVYING ASSESSMENTS AGAINST THE PROPERTY WITHIN IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE, AND ESTABLISHING A LIEN ON SUCH PROPERTY. ETC. MISS LIBBY.

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

BECAUSE OF THAT VALUE TO LEAN REQUIREMENT, ONLY A PORTION OF IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER THREE BONDS WERE ISSUED IN 2021. WE'RE BACK HERE TODAY TO ISSUE THE REMAINDER OF THE BONDS BECAUSE ADDITIONAL VALUE, I.E. HOME CONSTRUCTION, HAS OCCURRED SINCE THAT TIME TO WHERE THE VALUE TO LEAN WITHIN THE DISTRICT SUPPORTS THE ISSUANCE OF THE REMAINDER BONDS FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA THREE. THOSE BONDS WERE PRICED TODAY BY FMS BONDS, AND THE REQUEST FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER THREE BONDS BEFORE COUNCIL TONIGHT IS GOING TO BE $5,771,000. THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE OF BACKGROUND. IN 2023, ASSESSMENTS WERE LEVIED AND BONDS WERE ISSUED FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FOUR. AND THOSE BONDS CLOSED IN FEBRUARY OF 2023. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE BOUNDARIES ITSELF. THE PID IN TOTAL IS 858 ACRES. IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER THREE IS 111.67 ACRES, AND IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE IS 15.92 ACRES. THIS IS JUST A LOT OF THE BACKGROUND THAT I WALK THROUGH WITH YOU ALL. NO NEED TO RESTATE IT, BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MAY HAVE EITHER ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT LEVY OR THE BOND ISSUANCE PROCESS, OR WE CAN MOVE TO PUBLIC HEARING. ALL RIGHT. THIS ITEM DOES HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS I'M GOING TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS? A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT LEVYING THE FEES. HAS THIS PROJECTS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME NOW? HAS THE AMOUNT OF THE LEVIES PER PROPERTY OR DISTRICT CHANGED ANY. SO THE AMOUNTS THAT ARE LEVIED BY IMPROVEMENT AREA ARE DETERMINED BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF PROJECTS, THE AUTHORIZED IMPROVEMENTS THAT GO INTO THAT IMPROVEMENT AREA. AND SO WE WERE BEFORE COUNCIL LAST MEETING, I APPEARED VIRTUALLY MARK MCCLAIN WITH SAMCO CAPITAL MARKETS DID THE PRESENTATION FOR BOTH THE PRELIMINARY SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN AND THE PRELIMINARY LIMITED OFFERING MEMORANDUM FOR THESE BONDS. AND SO FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE, THOSE COSTS WERE DETERMINED AT THAT PRIOR MEETING. THE BONDS FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE AND CORRESPONDING ASSESSMENT LEVY IS $4,183,000. AND SO THAT'S THE AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS THAT WILL BE LEVIED AND AVAILABLE TO REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER FOR THE PORTION OF PROJECTS FOR A PORTION OF THE PUBLIC PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING INTO THIS ONE SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENT AREA. BUT AS THE PID DEVELOPS, WE'RE LEVYING ASSESSMENTS ON EACH PHASE OR EACH IMPROVEMENT AREA AS IT COMES ONLINE. SO IMPROVEMENT AREAS ONE THROUGH FOUR THAT ASSESSMENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN LEVIED ON. WE DON'T GO BACK AND RE LEVY TO CAPTURE ADDITIONAL COSTS. IT'S JUST FOR NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AS THE PROJECT BUILDS OUT. SO THE ANSWER IF I'M HEARING THAT RIGHT

[01:30:07]

IS THAT YES, AS WE GO INTO NEW DEVELOPMENT AREAS WITHIN THAT PID THAT WE REEVALUATE THOSE COSTS AND THE ASSESSMENT FEES COULD INCREASE. SO IT'S NOT SO MUCH A REEVALUATION. YEAH, IT'S NOT SO MUCH A REEVALUATION OF COSTS, BUT AN INITIAL VALUATION OF COSTS BECAUSE EACH AREA IS LOOKED AT INDEPENDENTLY. YEAH. BUT SO WE DIDN'T AUTHORIZE AN ASSESSMENT FEE FOR THE WHOLE SIX CREEKS AREA. WE JUST DO IT AREA BY AREA AND AS DIFFERENT AREAS COME ON, THOSE COSTS MAY BE MORE POTENTIALLY THAN THE FIRST AREA. NUMBER ONE, POTENTIALLY THE COST COULD BE MORE. BUT THE IT'S NOT APPLES TO APPLES BECAUSE THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE NOT THE SAME. RIGHT. RIGHT. I'M JUST YEAH I'M JUST SAYING THAT WASN'T SET WHEN SIXTH CREEK STARTED. ITS EACH PARCEL IS UPDATED FOR THAT. SO THERE IS AND I DON'T HAVE I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT AMOUNT WITH ME RIGHT NOW. BUT WHEN PIDS ARE CREATED, A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS IS SPECIFIED AT THE TIME OF CREATION. AS YOU LEVY THROUGH EACH IMPROVEMENT AREA. IT'S ALMOST LIKE VOTED AUTHORIZATION. SO YOU HAVE A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS THAT CAN BE LEVIED OVER THE DISTRICT. AND THEN AS EACH IMPROVEMENT AREA COMES ONLINE, THAT AMOUNT IS DEDUCTED. AND SO THERE IS A CEILING OR A CAP ON THE OVERALL AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS THAT CAN BE LEVIED IN ANY ONE DISTRICT. SO IT IS SAID AT THE BEGINNING A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT IS SET AT THE BEGINNING. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE DETERMINED AS EACH AREA COMES ONLINE, BUT UP TO THE MAXIMUM THAT'S SET AT THE BEGINNING, RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHAT, 15 YEARS OR TEN YEARS FOR THAT AREA. AND WHEN THEY DRAW IT, WHEN THEY DRAW THAT PROJECT OUT FOR SO LONG, DOES THAT CREATE FINANCIAL ISSUES? WHEN YOU GET TOWARD THE END OF THE PID? WELL, I'M NOT SURE THAT IT NECESSARILY CREATES FINANCIAL ISSUES. I THINK IN SOME WAYS IT MAY LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPER REIMBURSEMENT SO THAT THERE'S MORE DEVELOPER MONEY THAT GOES INTO THE PROJECT BECAUSE THERE'S LESS AVAILABLE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS OR REVENUES FROM THE PIT BOX. SO THE DEVELOPER WOULD BE AT RISK FOR THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT HELPS A WHOLE LOT. I APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS MOTIONS TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 16 AS WRITTEN. SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER TOBIAS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HEIZER THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM 16.

IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. NEXT UP IS AN ITEM THAT WAS ALREADY PRESENTED ON THIS AGENDA. ITEM 17. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE CITY OF KYLE, TEXAS. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE BOND SERIES 2025 SIX CREEKS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER THREE BE PROJECT AND APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING RELATED DOCUMENTS. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS ITEM? SO NOTHING TO ADD. JUST A REMINDER THAT THESE BONDS, AS PRICED TODAY, WERE PRICED AT $5,771,000, SO THAT THAT'S THE AMOUNT OF THE AUTHORIZATION THAT WE'RE REQUESTING IN THE ORDINANCE. OKAY, BRIAN, CAN WE BRING UP THE 17, 18, 19 TOGETHER SINCE WE'VE PRESENTED OR DO WE HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR EITHER ONE OF THEM? THAT YOU'D LIKE TO READ ALL OF THEM AND THEN JUST CONSIDER THEM ALL AT ONCE? WELL, NOT 19, BUT IT WOULD BE 18 BE THE NEXT ONE. 18, 17, 18 WELL, WE JUST DID 16, 16 ALREADY APPROVED. COULD DO 18 AND 19. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING JUST TO READ IT? 17 AND 18. YEAH. DID YOU PRESENT ON 18. I DID PRESENT ON 18. AND I CAN JUST REMIND COUNCIL FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE FOR THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THOSE BONDS IS $4,183,000. IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, I'LL BRING 18 UP AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. AGENDA ITEM 18, FIRST AND FINAL READING. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE CITY OF KYLE, TEXAS. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE BONDS SERIES 2025 SIX CREEKS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER FIVE PROJECT AND APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING RELATED AGREEMENTS SO WE CAN MAKE A MOTION ON 17 AND 18. MAYOR PRO TEM. SECOND, DO WE ALREADY HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE FOR 17? I WANT TO DO IT ON 17. YEAH. LET'S GO. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 17 AND 18 AS WRITTEN. OKAY. SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN. MAYOR PRO TEM WISER.

ALL RIGHT. SORRY I MESSED IT UP. AGENDA ITEMS 17 AND 18 HAS BEEN MOTIONED IN A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER RESO, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM HEIZER, THAT WE APPROVE 17 AND 18. IS THERE DISCUSSION

[01:35:02]

ON THAT MOTION? COUNCILMEMBER ZUNIGA YEAH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION, BRIAN, SINCE I MEAN, THE PADS ARE THESE THESE KEEP INCREASING IN DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT BIDS THAT ARE OUT HERE. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA LIKE ON THE SINCE THEY'RE, THEY'RE THEY'RE IN THE ETJ AREN'T THEY.

LIKE DO THEY HAVE TO COME TO US FOR ANY LOSE AS THEY KEEP BUILDING OUT. I MEAN IS THAT IMPACTING THIS IN ANY WAY? I THINK THAT WAS ALREADY AGREED TO IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS APPROVED 2015, SOMEWHERE IN THAT TIME FRAME. IT'S BEEN MANY YEARS AGO. SO IT'S NOT WE DON'T HAVE TO ISSUE ANY NEW YOU KNOW, MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE ALREADY HAVE THOSE COMMITMENTS AND WE'RE HONORING THOSE COMMITMENTS WITH THESE AGREEMENTS. OKAY. THAT THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO ASK, THAT THEY WEREN'T JUST DEVELOPING MORE AND MORE AND NOT COMING TO US FOR ANY MORE WATER. NO, SIR. NO. THOSE ARE ALREADY BEEN AGREED TO IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS. OKAY. THAT SAID, I THINK IT IS PROBABLY WORTH NOTING TO COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS'S QUESTION THAT I DO THINK THEY'RE GOING TO HIT THEIR CEILING OF TOTAL ALLOTTED ASSESSMENTS THAT THEY CAN LEVY AGAINST BEFORE THEY REACH THE END. AND SO THERE MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A RENEGOTIATION AT THAT POINT FOR THE JUST NOT FOR THE PED. FOR THE PED. YES, SIR. SO THERE MAY BE AN ASK IN THE FUTURE, WHICH I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO, BUT THAT'S FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE, NOT THE NOT THE LOSE. IF THEY NEED MORE OF. RIGHT, RIGHT. I THINK WHAT THE MAYOR IS REFERRING TO IS THE OVERALL AMOUNT OF THE PED. THERE WAS A SPECIFIC AMOUNT THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AND THEY MAY BE GETTING CLOSE OVER TIME TO REACHING THAT. ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS

[19) Consider approval of an agreement with Freese & Nichols, Inc. to provide consulting services to rewrite the City of Kyle’s development code in the amount of $499,903.]

AGENDA ITEM 19. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH TERESA NICHOLS, INC. TO PROVIDE CONSULTING SERVICES TO REWRITE THE CITY OF COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT CODE IN THE AMOUNT OF $499,903.

RFP. RFP. THAT'S WHAT YOU GET. I'LL GIVE YOU A GUESS AS TO WHAT THE BUDGETED AMOUNT FOR THAT WAS. ROSIE TRUELOVE, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES I'M NOT GOING TO TOUCH THAT ONE WITH A TEN FOOT POLE, BUT I WILL TALK ABOUT WHY WE'RE HERE. ON JANUARY 16TH, COUNCIL APPROVED THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CITY OF KYLE. THE PLAN IS THE FOUNDATION FOR HOW DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR. OUR EXISTING DEVELOPMENT CODE, ADOPTED IN 2003, AS AMENDED, IS OUTDATED AND DOESN'T REFLECT THE DESIGN AND FISCALLY BASED FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIRES A FULL REWRITE TO BETTER FULFILL THE COMP PLAN AND AVOID THE PATCHWORK AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE. SO WE ISSUED AN RFQ FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. IT WAS ADVERTISED IN JUNE OF 2024 THROUGH JULY 29TH OF 2024. WE RECEIVED TWO RESPONSES. CITY STAFF EVALUATION PANEL WAS CONVENED TO REVIEW THE PROPOSALS, AND ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2024, CITY COUNCIL AWARDED THE RFQ TO FRISCO AND NICHOLS.

FREESTON NICHOLS HAS A ROBUST TEAM. THE PRINCIPAL IN CHARGE IS CHANCE SPARKS. HE IS HERE WITH US TODAY. SHOULD WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM AND WE APPRECIATE HIM COMING. THE DEVELOPMENT, THE THIS WILL HELP US FOR DEVELOPING A DEVELOPMENT CODE AND ENGINEERING MANUAL, UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AND AN ENGINEERING CRITERIA CRITERIA MANUAL. WE WILL BE USING CODE DIAGNOSTICS TO OPERATIONALIZE OUR RECENT 2030 COMP PLAN ISSUE STATEMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADDRESSING IT, VARYING DETAIL BASED ON IMPACT TO CODE, ORGANIZATION AND CONTENT. THIS WILL BE INFORMED BY CITY STAFF, OFFICIALS, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CODE USERS, AND IT WILL FACILITATE CONSENSUS BUILDING AND ACCOUNTABILITY AT THE BEGINNING AND THE CONCLUSION OF THE EFFORT. OUR CODE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE USER FRIENDLY. WE'LL HAVE A BETTER CHAPTER HEADERS AND SECTION HEADERS AND CROSS REFERENCING. IT'LL BE DEFENSIBLE. IT'LL FACILITATE THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, AND IT WILL PROVIDE INNOVATION SOLUTIONS, INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS AND APPROACHES. THE CODE REWRITE TIMELINE I'M SORRY. THE DELIVERABLES INCLUDE LOOKING AT THE CODE REWRITE AND ENGINEERING CRITERIA, MANUAL DRAINAGE, ENVIRONMENTAL UTILITIES, TRANSPORTATION AND PAVEMENT. OUR TIMELINE RIGHT NOW IS 18 MONTHS. LOOKING AT THE EXISTING DIAGNOSTIC OF CURRENT REGULATIONS, ANALYSIS AND DRAFTS, FULL DISCUSSION DRAFTS, PUBLIC DRAFTS AND THEN FINAL DRAFTS. ADOPTION AND PUBLICATIONS. THE SPECIFIC UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE CHAPTERS THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT ARE LISTED HERE. CHAPTERS 41, 53, 54, 50, 32, 29, 17, 47, AND 38, INCLUDING OUR DESIGN, OUR KYLE DESIGN GUIDELINES. THE CONTRACT YOU HAVE IS READY FOR EXECUTION. AND SO IF YOU THE OPTIONS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU ARE

[01:40:01]

TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT AS PRESENTED AND NEGOTIATED BY STAFF, AND THE AMOUNT OF $499,903, OR DENY THE APPROVAL OF THE EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. ROSIE, CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH? AND I MEAN, LIKE DESIGN PHILOSOPHIES, NOT NECESSARILY THIS DAY, THIS PUBLIC HEARING, I REALLY MEAN MORE LIKE, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO EXTRACT OUT THE BEST, BEST USES, BEST PRACTICES FOR SUCH A COMPREHENSIVE REWRITE, NUMBER ONE, IN SUCH A WAY THAT WHEN IT COMES BACK TO US, THAT COUNCIL FEELS LIKE THAT IT'S MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT. AND THEN AND THEN ALSO JUST SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME A LITTLE BIT OF CONTROL ALONG ALONG THE WAY. ABSOLUTELY. I'M GOING TO INVITE EITHER MR. LET'S HEAR FROM CHANCE. YEAH. HE WANTS TO COME UP HERE. SURE, SURE.

CHANCE. PARKS, FREESE AND NICHOLS, SAN MARCOS, TEXAS. I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION IS BASICALLY, HOW DO YOU GET TO A PRODUCT THAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH? YEAH, WE'VE DONE WE'VE DONE, LIKE, COMPREHENSIVE PLANS AND VARIOUS BIG REWRITES IN THE PAST. AND IT'S A RISK FOR THE MONEY WE'RE INVESTING FOR US TO GO REALLY FAR DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN FIND OUT THAT, OH, YOU'RE WANTING TO DO ALL THESE THINGS THAT WE'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT OR THAT MIGHT DRAW CRITICISM FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND THEN WE MIGHT FIND OURSELVES BACK TO SQUARE ONE. SURE. THAT'S WHERE I TEND TO EMPHASIZE THE FIRST STEP OF THE PROCESS. THAT'S THAT DIAGNOSTIC REPORT. BECAUSE WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT'S SETTING THE FRAMEWORK FOR HOW WE'RE GOING TO DRAFT CODE, BECAUSE WRITING DEVELOPMENT CODES IS A COMPLICATED PROCESS. IT'S TIME CONSUMING, AND IT'S SOMETHING WE ONLY LIKE TO WRITE ONCE. SO WE RELY ON THAT DIAGNOSTIC REPORT TO SET THE DIRECTION FOR. HERE'S THE PATH WE'RE GOING TO TAKE. HERE'S KEY DECISION POINTS.

TYPES OF ZONING YOU WANT TO DEPLOY. KEY DESIGN FACTORS YOU WANT TO BRING INTO IT. AND YOU RELY A LOT ON DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH YOUR CODES AS WELL AS PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, ENGAGEMENT WITH YOU AS CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR, YOUR COMMISSIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT, TO GET A GOOD HANDLE ON WHAT ARE THOSE ISSUES, HOW DO YOU WANT TO APPROACH IT? BECAUSE FOR ANY ISSUE YOU ENCOUNTER AS A CITY AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, THERE'S PROBABLY A GOOD DOZEN WAYS TO APPROACH IT. SO WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY WHAT'S THE BEST FIT. SO WHEN WE DO THAT DIAGNOSTIC REPORT WE GO THROUGH, WE IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, A SUMMARY OF IT, RECOMMENDATION, RECOMMENDED APPROACH AND ACTION THAT ACTUALLY COMES TO YOU AS AS THE CITY COUNCIL FOR DIRECTION TO SAY YES, PROCEED ON THIS PATH. WE ALSO BUILD IN CHECK INS, THINGS LIKE THAT. THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IN A CODE REWRITE IS DROP A LARGE DOCUMENT AT THE END OF IT AND SAY, GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR READING. WE LIKE TO HAVE CHECK INS ALONG THE WAY, SO THAT WAY IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT'S COMING UP, WE CAN QUICKLY ADJUST AND REALIGN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STAYING ON THAT PATH THAT YOU WANT US TO BE ON. ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHANCE, COUNCILOR HARRIS? THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT I DIDN'T SEE NECESSARILY STATED IN THE PRESENTATION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. WOULD YOU BE LOOKING AT ONE? IS LIGHTING ORDINANCES, ANOTHER IS THE POSSIBILITY OF INCLUDING LEED CERTIFICATION AND WATER CONSERVATION IN OUR CODES.

I DIDN'T SEE EITHER ONE OF THOSE ADDRESSED OTHER THAN LANDSCAPING, AND I THINK THAT GIVEN OUR CIRCUMSTANCES IN ENERGY AND WATER, THAT THOSE ARE IMPORTANT ISSUES. I'LL AND LIGHTING ARE ALL IMPORTANT ISSUES FOR THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY THAT NEED TO GO IN CODE. SURE. AND THOSE ARE ALL ITEMS WE ARE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING. WE ONLY GO TO A CERTAIN LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY IN PRESENTATIONS AND CONTRACT ITSELF. BUT I LIVE HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS, TOO. I'M ACUTELY AWARE OF THE WATER SITUATION AND OUR PENCHANT FOR ELECTRICITY NOT ALWAYS WORKING SO WELL. THE SO THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING.

I'VE ALSO WORKED HEAVILY IN LIGHTING ORDINANCES WITH MULTIPLE DARK SKY COMMUNITIES, THINGS LIKE THAT SPACE WE'RE VERY COMFORTABLE IN. YEAH, THANKS. OURS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. IT WAS UPDATED IN 2016, BUT THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT WERE LEFT OUT, SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME UPDATES ON THOSE. AND LEAD AND WATER CONSERVATION I DON'T BELIEVE ARE IN THERE ANYWHERE. SURE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBER. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE KICK OFF? SO WHEN IS THE NEXT TIME THAT WE HEAR FROM YOU PENDING CONTRACT EXECUTION, WE'LL HAVE A KICKOFF AT USUALLY WITHIN ABOUT 30 DAYS OF CONTRACT EXECUTION. I'LL BE WANTING TO WORK WITH YOUR STAFF HERE TO FIND OUT WHEN EXACTLY DO THEY WANT TO ENGAGE YOU AS THE COUNCIL ALONG THAT PATH? WE DO WANT TO TALK TO YOU ALL IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PHASE TO GET YOUR DIRECT FEEDBACK ON YOUR EXPERIENCES AS THE ELECTED OFFICIAL, WHERE THE BUCK STOPS ON SO MANY PLANNING AND ZONING RELATED MATTERS. SO THAT'S WHERE WE THAT'S WHERE WE SAY WE'RE ENGAGING THE COUNCIL AS A STAKEHOLDER. AND WE'LL HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU ALL ABOUT

[01:45:01]

THAT. I'D EXPECT THAT TO BE SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF ABOUT 60 DAYS OUT FROM NOW, GIVE OR TAKE. DO YOU HAVE ANY INTENTIONS OF ENGAGING WITH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AGAIN? MELISSA, CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT PROCESS? ABSOLUTELY. OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WILL BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF REALLY KIND OF LOOKING AT THIS CODE, BEING THAT THEY'RE THE BODY THAT REPORTS TO YOU ON ON CODE AMENDMENTS. I DO THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE ENGAGING OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. WE'RE LOOKING AT PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCES WITH THIS, WHICH WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD ENGAGE WITH THE PARKS BOARD AND ANY OTHER BOARDS THAT KIND OF HAVE THEIR TOES IN THE WATER OF CODE. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S REALLY A COMPREHENSIVE CODE REWRITE. SO IT TOUCHES A LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS. HONESTLY, WHETHER THEIR VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS OR OR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, BUT THEY'LL BE AT THE FOREFRONT FOR THAT. SO GEORGE CAME ON RIGHT ON TIME TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

I'VE REALLY KIND OF BEING THE FIRST, FIRST REVIEW OF STUFF THAT COMES BEFORE YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. I WAS I JUST THINK THAT THERE MIGHT BE YOU SEE, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY ITEMS WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND THE BREADTH OF, YOU KNOW, JUST RESPONSIBILITIES THAT WE HAVE. THIS THIS ITEM DESERVES MORE MERIT THAN WHAT WE CAN GIVE IT. IT DESERVES MORE ATTENTION THAN WHAT WE CAN GIVE IT FROM A REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING. SO I'M HOPING THAT YOU ALL CAN DO SOME WORKSHOPS, IN PARTICULAR WITH SOME OF THOSE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO HELP GET REALLY COMPREHENSIVE FEEDBACK FROM THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND THEY'RE KIND OF ENGAGED WITH OUR PROCESS AND FLOW TOO, SO THEY CAN BE VERY VALUABLE TO US. I THINK AS I WAS GOING TO ADD THIS COMMUNITY SURVEYS THAT WE'VE TAKEN, MAKING SURE THEY GET ALL THAT DOCUMENTATION. SO THAT WAY THEY CAN SEE WHAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE, YOU KNOW, PRIORITIZED IS IMPORTANT AS WELL. SO GETTING ALL THAT TO THEM WOULD BE IMPORTANT. OKAY. PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION MOTIONS. MAYOR I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 19 SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN RIZZO THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM 19. ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK. YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

[20) Consider approval of a resolution to award RFP 2024DD-10 and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract to hire The Goodman Corporation to conduct a review and make recommendations to improve the City of Kyle's rideshare program for an amount of $164,450.]

NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 20. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO AWARD RFP 2024 D TEN. AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE A CONTRACT TO HIRE THE GOODMAN CORPORATION TO CONDUCT A REVIEW AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE THE CITY OF CARLOS RIDESHARE PROGRAM FOR AN AMOUNT OF 164,450. MR. TRUELOVE. SO, AS BACKGROUND, THE UBER CAR 314 PROGRAM IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UBER RIDESHARE PLATFORM TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS TO ALL KYLE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. RIDERS CAN TAKE A TRIP TO ANYWHERE THAT BEGINS AND ENDS WITHIN KYLE CITY LIMITS FOR THE SMALL PRICE OF $3.14, THE UBER KYLE 314 PROGRAM WILL SUBSIDIZE RIDES FOR UP TO $10 PER RIDE. AFTER YOU PAY THE FIRST $3.14, THOUGH, RIDERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING OVER THE INITIAL 1314, THE $3 AND 14 PAYMENT AND THE $10 SUBSIDY.

RIDERS ARE ISSUED ONE MONTHLY VOUCHER THAT IS VALID FOR TEN ONE WAY TRIPS THROUGH THE CITY'S MOBILE APP, AND THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES ONE ROUND TRIP FROM KYLE TO THE AUSTIN VETERANS ADMINISTRATION ON ON METROPOLIS DRIVE FOR $3.14, AS WELL AS TWO ONE WAY TRIPS TO AND FROM AUSTIN-BERGSTROM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PER PERSON PER MONTH FOR 31.4% OF THE RIDE COST. THIS PROGRAM STARTED IN 2020 AS ONE OF THE FIRST FULL SERVICE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION PARTNERSHIPS. THE BUDGET FOR THE PROGRAM HAS INCREASED OVER THE YEARS AS THE RIDERSHIP HAS INCREASED AND THE CONTRACT WITH UBER TRANSIT WAS AMENDED TO EXTEND THE PARTNERSHIP THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025 BY COUNCIL. ON AUGUST 20TH OF 2024. WHAT WE ARE FINDING NOW IS THAT A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE PROGRAM IS NECESSARY. THE REVIEW WILL PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS TO ENHANCE THE EFFICIENCY, ACCESSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROGRAM WHILE ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS AND IMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERY FOR RESIDENTS.

SO, THE CITY CONDUCTED AN RFP AND DESIGNED A SCOPE THAT SHOWS DELIVERABLES OF A PROGRAM REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS. WE'RE ASKING THE CONSULTANT TO ASSESS OUR UBER KYLE 314 RIDESHARE PROGRAM AND SUGGEST IMPROVEMENTS FOR EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS TO LOOK AT OPERATIONAL ENHANCEMENTS, SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES TO ENHANCE PROGRAM FUNCTIONALITY AND OVERALL OPERATIONS, AND TO ASSESS OUR CONNECTIVITY TO REGIONAL MOBILITY. WE'RE LOOKING AT COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND MARKETING SUPPORT, EFFORTS TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PROGRAM. AND THERE'S AN ELEMENT OR CONSIDERATION OF FUTURE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT. AND WHILE THIS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SCOPE, THE CITY MAY ISSUE A FUTURE SOLICITATION BASED ON THE FINDINGS THAT WE MAY HAVE. THE PROJECT SCHEDULE FOR THIS IS ESTIMATED TO LAST 9 TO 12 MONTHS. PUBLIC OUTREACH WILL BE A HEAVY COMPONENT OF THIS PARTICULAR EFFORT, INCLUDING INCLUDING ANALYZING DIGITAL AND PRINT CAMPAIGN PERFORMANCE USING

[01:50:03]

METRICS LIKE WEBSITE VIEWS, SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT, NEWS COVERAGE AND POLLING RESULTS. TO REFINE STRATEGIES. WE PLAN TO LEVERAGE DIGITAL TOOLS, GRASSROOTS EFFORTS, AND COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS TO MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT AND CREATE DIGITAL AND PRINT MATERIALS THAT EFFECTIVELY CONVEY THE MESSAGES AND FOSTER SUPPORT AND PRESENT DATA IN VISUALLY ENGAGING FORMATS. THIS WILL BE HEAVY ON THE DATA AND ANALYTICS SIDE, LOOKING AT EXTENSIVE INDUSTRY EXPERTISE AND PARTNERSHIPS. THE SELECTED CONSULTANT HAS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH UBER, SPARE LABS, THE ROUTING COMPANY AND MARUTI WITH DIRECT BACK END SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND ENHANCED COLLABORATION. WE'LL HAVE ADVANCED TRANSIT ANALYTICS UTILIZING A POWER BI DRIVEN DASHBOARD TO TRACK KEY METRICS LIKE RIDERSHIP TRENDS, SPENDING WAIT TIMES, AND TRIP PATTERNS FOR DATA DRIVEN DECISION MAKING. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME REAL TIME MONITORING AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROGRAM, ALLOWING US TO CONTINUOUSLY ANALYZE TRANSIT DATA TO ENSURE BUDGET ADHERENCE AND IMPLEMENT PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN 24 HOURS. AND WE'LL ALSO INCLUDE THE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM REVIEW THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED AUDITING, BOOKING PROCESSES, TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS AND CALL CENTER OPERATIONS, WHILE RECOMMENDING AND SUPPORTING PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS. WE ISSUED AN RFP FOR THIS RIDESHARING PARTNERSHIP REVIEW ON OCTOBER 11TH OF 2024, AND IT CLOSED ON NOVEMBER 12TH OF 2024. PROPOSALS WERE SCORED ON EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS, PROGRAM EVALUATION AND OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS, PRICING, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND MARKETING TECHNOLOGY AND DATA ANALYTICS. AND WE DID CONDUCT INTERVIEWS.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILMEMBER RIZZO YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING US IMPROVE THIS PROGRAM. IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. IT DEFINITELY HAS BEEN AFFORDABLE FOR OUR CITY WHEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR AFFORDABILITY. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT REALLY CAME OUT OF KYLE. THE ORIGINAL TASK FORCE MEMBERS FOR THIS WAS RICK COACH DAPHNE TENORIO AND ALEX VILLALOBOS, ALONG WITH JERRY HENDRICKS. AND I THOUGHT THEY DID A GREAT JOB WHEN THEY BROUGHT THIS FORWARD TO THE CITY, MADE PRESENTATIONS. AND ONE OF THE BEAUTIES OF THIS IS THAT IT'S AFFORDABLE. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST AFFORDABLE THINGS A CITY COULD DO. AND IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT RUNS 24 OVER SEVEN AND WE SEE A LOT OF ENTITIES CREATE A TYPE OF BUS SYSTEM. AND THOSE RUN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 8 TO 4. GOD FORBID SOMEBODY GETS SICK ON THE WEEKEND OR IN THE EVENING BECAUSE YOU YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. OUR UBER PROGRAM AND MARUTI PROGRAM ALLOW PEOPLE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL DOCTORS ANYTIME AND IT COMES TO THEIR DOOR. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO TO A BUS STOP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT A LOT. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT BUS SERVICES, BUT BUS SERVICE OUTPRICED THE PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO SERVE. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. SO WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO BRING A BUS SERVICE INTO YOUR AREA, IT'S AN UNAFFORDABLE IF YOU GO. AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, GO TALK TO MAN OR GO TALK TO CEDAR PARK.

TALK TO OTHER ENTITIES THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO REVAMP WHAT THEY'RE DOING NOW. BECAUSE REALLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT DOLLARS AS WELL. YOU KNOW, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GIVES SO MANY DOLLARS FOR A DEAL, BUT THEY GIVE IT TO ZONES. AND RIGHT NOW THE CONTROLLING INTEREST IN ZONING IN OUR AREA IS CAPITAL METRO. SO THEY GET TO ALLOCATE THE DOLLARS WHERE THEY WANT. SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE CAN GO AND APPLY FOR FEDERAL DOLLARS BECAUSE THOSE ARE ALREADY ALLOCATED TO AN ENTITY. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT IT'S AFFORDABLE AND IT WORKS IN REAL TIME. AND IT HELPS PEOPLE AND IT GETS PEOPLE. BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE THIS PROGRAM EXPAND TO WHERE WE START THINKING ABOUT OUR SENIOR CENTER MOVING OUT TO ALLOW SENIORS TO THAT WHO LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME, GIVE THEM A BETTER PRICE AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR SENIORS, IT'S ABOUT BEING HOME AND IT'S FOR MENTAL HEALTH. IT'S ABOUT HEALTH IN GENERAL BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT OUR SENIORS JUST STUCK AT HOME. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY COME OUT, THEY INTERACT AND THEY HAVE PEOPLE AND THEY GET TO SHARE TIME WITH PEOPLE AS WELL. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO SEE US IMPROVE ON THIS PROGRAM. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY, I GUESS I GET REAL PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS PROGRAM STARTED IN KYLE. WE'RE THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS PROGRAM, AND NOW OTHER CITIES ARE TAKING A NOTICE AND IMPLEMENTING THIS PROGRAM. SO REALLY PROUD OF WHAT KYLE STARTED HERE AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT STARTED THIS. SO IT WAS PRETTY GREAT. AND WITH THAT, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.

COUNCILMAN TOBIAS. WELL, ROBERT, I JUST WONDERED IF YOU COULD TAKE A BREATH. YEAH. OKAY. THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS IF THIS CONTRACT GOES THROUGH, HOW LONG WILL THE CONTRACT LAST? IS IT A

[01:55:05]

YEAR CONTRACT? I WOULD SAY APPROXIMATELY WE'VE TALKED TO THE CONSULTANT AND WE THINK THAT THE WITH THIS INITIAL SCOPE OF WORK OF DOING THE PRELIMINARY, I MEAN THE ASSESSMENT OF AND THE PROGRAM EVALUATION WOULD BE AROUND A NINE MONTH, APPROXIMATELY NINE MONTH TO 12 MONTH PROJECT. OKAY. AND THE SECOND QUESTION IS HOW OFTEN WOULD THIS COMPANY GIVE US A BRIEFING ON THE DATA THAT THEY RECEIVED DURING THIS TIME? WERE THEY I MEAN, YOU SAID IT'S GOING TO BE A NINE MONTH. WOULD THERE BE SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD BRIEF US ON, LIKE EVERY TWO MONTHS OR THREE MONTHS TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT? BECAUSE I THINK WE EXPANDED ON THE CONTRACT FOR THEM. CORRECT. AND WE START GETTING INTO BUDGETING FOR THIS. WE'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE NUMBERS OF LIKE, I HOPE THEY COULD BE ABLE TO LOOK TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE REQUESTING TO ACTUALLY GO TO THE AIRPORT. AND YET AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE ALSO HEARING SOME RESIDENTS SAYING, IS THERE A WAY THAT YOU CAN EXPAND IT OUT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, LIKE SOUTH, LIKE FOR TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS THAT THAT LIVE IN THIS AREA? I KNOW THERE'S A TRANSIT BUS THAT COMES AND DROPS OFF STUDENTS, BUT I THINK WE ONLY HAVE A CERTAIN BARRIER WITHIN THE CITY OF KYLE. AND ALSO, WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO OTHER PROGRAMS THAT THEY COULD USE FOR RESIDENTS TO HAVE FOR STUDENTS? OKAY, BECAUSE ONE OF THE ONE OF THE RESIDENTS THAT I HAD SPOKE TO, THEY USE THIS PROGRAM AND THEY USE THE TEN VOUCHERS, BUT AFTER TEN VOUCHERS, THEY'VE GOT TO PAY THE FULL PRICE. THAT DIDN'T HELP THEM. WHEN THEY HAVE A STUDENT THAT STAYS AFTER SCHOOL FOR PRACTICE, THEY CAN ONLY USE IT TEN TIMES. AND THAT'S IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PARENTS WORK LATE. SO WILL THEY BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THAT, TO SEE HOW WE COULD BE ABLE TO EXPAND THAT KIND OF PROCESS THERE. SO I THINK THOSE ARE ALL GREAT EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY LOOK AT ENHANCING THE PROGRAM OR HEARING FROM OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT THEIR PRIORITIES ARE AND SEEING HOW THAT COULD BE SYNTHESIZED IN TO THE PROGRAM STRUCTURE. SO THAT WILL BE PART OF THE PROCESS LOOKING AT AT DIFFERENT ELEMENTS LIKE THAT, WE WILL PROVIDE AS WE WORK WITH THE GOODMAN GROUP, WE WILL DEVELOP THAT SCOPE AND THE TIMELINE, AND WE'LL HAVE SOME NATURAL POINTS WHERE IT WILL MAKE SENSE FOR THEM TO COME BACK AND BRIEF COUNCIL, AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT. AND YOU GUYS ARE OBVIOUSLY A VERY NATURAL STAKEHOLDER THAT WILL BE PART OF THAT PROCESS WHEN WE ENGAGE. SO I DON'T HAVE A SCHEDULE THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY, BECAUSE THIS IS AUTHORIZING US TO NEGOTIATE THAT CONTRACT.

IT'S AWARDING THE RFP TO THE GOODMAN CORPORATION AND THEN AUTHORIZING US TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE THAT CONTRACT. SO THAT WILL BE AN OUTCOME OF THE OF THE NEGOTIATED CONTRACT. OKAY.

SOUNDS GOOD. AND WITH THAT, MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 20. SECOND. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER TOBIAS, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER RIZZO THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 20. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS, QUICK QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. I WOULD I WOULD ASSUME THAT THEY WILL CONSIDER MULTIPLE MODES OF PROVIDING THIS SERVICE. I RAN A TRANSPORTATION SERVICE IN NORTHEAST TARRANT COUNTY FOR SEVEN CITIES, AND WE USE SMALL VANS, AND THAT INCLUDED THE SENIOR CENTER. SO THERE MAY BE SOME OPPORTUNITY TO DO SMALL VAN PICKUPS FOR SPECIALTY THINGS LIKE THE SENIOR CENTERS. AND THEN ALSO COORDINATION WITH OTHER CITIES. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT IF SOMEBODY HAS TO GO INTO SAN MARCOS FOR MEDICAL OR LEGAL PURPOSES. THE COURTS ARE THERE, AND A LOT OF THE PHYSICIANS ARE THERE. AND A HOSPITAL THAT MANY USE, A LOT OF THE SOCIAL SERVICES THAT OUR PEOPLE USE ARE IN SAN MARCOS WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE AN ABILITY FOR US TO COLLABORATE WITH THE OTHER CITIES IN OUR IN HAYS COUNTY, ESPECIALLY TO GET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ACTUALLY NEED TO GO, RATHER THAN JUST IN THE CITY LIMITS, ESPECIALLY SINCE A LOT OF THE OTHER CITIES ARE BEGINNING TO ADOPT THIS RIDESHARE. WHETHER IT'S UBER OR ANOTHER. I THINK THAT THAT THAT ASPECT OF HOW WE CAN CONNECT TO REGIONAL, OUR REGIONAL MOBILITY PARTNERS IS, IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WASN'T NECESSARILY ENVISIONED IN 2020 WHEN WE ADOPTED THE PROGRAM. AND SO IT'S A NATURAL WAY TO SEE HOW WE CAN BROADEN AND STRENGTHEN WHAT WE'RE DOING. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 21. IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO MOVING 24 UP TO BEFORE THE STAFF PRESENTATION? YEAH, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA. WE'LL MOVE 24 UP IF NO ONE HAS ANY OBJECTIONS. AGENDA ITEM 24. CONSIDER

[24) Consider authorizing a fireworks display by the Buda Brightside organization on February 7, 2025.]

AUTHORIZING A FIREWORKS DISPLAY BY THE BUDA BRIGHTSIDE ORGANIZATION ON FEBRUARY 7TH,

[02:00:04]

2025. COUNCILMEMBER KENNY, GO AHEAD. I WAS APPROACHED BY A RESIDENT, FORMER CEO AND DIRECTOR OF BRIGHTSIDE. IT'S A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH COGNITIVE DISABILITIES, AND EVERY YEAR THEY PUT ON A VALENTINE'S DAY DANCE. THEY WERE THEY WERE OFFERED BY A PROFESSIONAL FIREWORKS COMPANY. TO PUT ON A SMALL FIREWORKS DISPLAY AND LOOKING INTO WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN, WE HAVE TO HAVE A ONE TIME APPROVAL BY THIS COUNCIL. SO JUST BRINGING IT UP, IT IS NIGHT TO SHINE, I BELIEVE IS THE NAME OF IT. IT IS THIS FRIDAY FROM 6 TO 9. CHRISTINA, IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE END OF THE DANCE? YES. SO IT'LL BE A 3 TO 4 MINUTE DISPLAY IF THAT EVEN. AND ABOUT AT 830 BECAUSE WE'LL BE TIRED FROM BOOGIEING BY THEN. OKAY. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT I TALKED WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BEFORE I EVER BROUGHT IT TO STAFF, AND I WAS ASSURED THAT THERE ARE NO SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED, THAT THERE'S NOT A THERE'S NOT ANY CONCERN FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE.

COUNCIL MEMBER. OKAY. YOU'RE GOOD. HEY, MARK, I JUST WANT TO ASK WILL THE WHERE WILL THE FIREWORKS BE FIRED FROM? THE DANCE IS BEING HELD AT AT A CHURCH OVER OFF OF OFF OF BUTTON, KIND OF RIGHT BEHIND GEMSTONE PALACE. OKAY. AND NOT A NOT A HEAVILY DENSE RESIDENTIAL.

THERE'S SOME RESIDENTIAL IN THAT AREA, BUT NOT NOT A WHOLE, WHOLE LOT. HAVE YOU REACHED OUT TO CHIEF TAYLOR? JUST TO BE ON STANDBY TO HAVE SOMEONE AVAILABLE? I KNOW WHEN WE DO OUR FIREWORK SHOWS, WE HAVE TO HAVE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON STANDBY. HAVE WE REACHED OUT TO THEM? JUST TO CHIEF TAYLOR'S GREAT TO WORK WITH. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. AND IF WE COULD GET SOMEONE STANDING BY THERE THAT JUST SAFETY. I'M JUST WE'RE NOT. WE'RE STILL KIND OF IN A DROUGHT JUST TO HAVE THAT.

A LITTLE OVERSIGHT WOULD BE GREAT. AND I'M PRETTY SURE THEY WOULD WANT TO HELP OUT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S FOR A GREAT CAUSE. YEAH, I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. THAT WAS THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT, MY FIRST CONCERN. AND HE WAS MY FIRST CONTACT. GREAT. THAT'S AWESOME.

GREAT. THANKS FOR TAKING CARE OF THAT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IF I CAN TALK. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? NO. YEAH. SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. BUT FIREWORKS HAVE KIND OF BEEN ANNOYING TO SOME RESIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE LOUD NOISE THAT THEY MAKE. I KNOW THIS IS A SHORT PROGRAM, BUT IF WE DID SAY YES TO THIS, WHICH IT IS FOR A GREAT REASON, HOW WOULD WE SAY NO TO THE NEXT GROUP LIKE ANOTHER BOY SCOUT GROUP OR OTHER NONPROFIT THAT WANTS TO DO A DISPLAY AS WELL? SO I'M JUST HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A CONTEMPLATING THAT PART OF IT. I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD SAY ABOUT THAT. THAT WAS MY CONCERN AS WELL, FRANKLY, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE TO SAY TO SOME GROUPS, YES. AND THEN ANOTHER GROUP, NO. SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO MOVING FORWARD? ONCE WE SET THE PRECEDENT, PRECEDENT TO ALLOW FIREWORKS IN OUR CITY, WHICH, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A LOT OF UPSET RESIDENTS OVER NEW YEAR'S EVE THAT I HEARD FROM BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE BEING INSENSITIVE AND POPPING THEM OFF. AND THESE THINGS HAVE GOTTEN A LOT LOUDER. LET'S BE HONEST. THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT LIKE THEY WERE A FEW YEARS AGO. NOW. THEY'RE VERY LOUD AND THEY CREATE A LOT OF TRASH. NOT SAYING THAT I WOULD SAY NO, BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO FOR THE NEXT GROUP? I WAS GOING TO SAY, I THINK THAT'S A POLICY QUESTION THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER. SO I'M IN SUPPORT OF THIS AS WELL. BUT THE REALITY IS IT NUMBER ONE COULD AGGRAVATE SOME NEIGHBORS, BUT THEN PROBABLY MORE LIKELY IS IT WILL GIVE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THE SAME IDEA. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW. YOU KNOW, VFW WANTS TO DO A FIREWORKS OR VARIOUS OTHER GROUPS. WE'VE HAD WE'VE HAD PROPOSALS IN THE PAST FOR SIMILAR THINGS, BUT NEVER QUITE SO FORMAL AND WELL PUT TOGETHER AS THIS. PLUS THE EXTRA BENEFIT OF THE SPONSORSHIP I THINK MAKES THIS ONE UNIQUE. SO I WOULD JUST SAY WE SHOULD PROBABLY COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF THRESHOLD. IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS, IT NEEDS TO. IT NEEDS TO HAVE SOME LEVEL OF COMMUNITY IMPORTANCE OR SIGNIFICANCE AND BEAUTY.

BROADSIDE IS A FANTASTIC PARTNER AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU SAY NO DOWN THE ROAD, BUT IT IS A WARNING SHOT. YOU KNOW, A WARNING THAT, YOU KNOW, COUNCILMEMBER ZUNIGA IS BRINGING UP, THAT THERE COULD BE SITUATIONS WHERE COUNCIL MEMBERS GET LOBBIED FOR GOING OUTSIDE OF THE RULES TO ALLOW FOR FIREWORKS. SOMEBODY WANTS TO DO IT FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY, FOR EXAMPLE, OR JUST, YOU KNOW, THOSE KIND OF THINGS. COUNCIL MEMBERS? YEAH. I JUST WANT TO SAY, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ASKING. THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING. IF SOMEBODY

[02:05:02]

WANTS TO, A GROUP WANTS TO COME FORWARD, MAKE SURE THEY COME AND ASK, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A SOMEONE IN STAGECOACH CROSSING, POPPING FIREWORKS WHENEVER HE WANTS. JUST OUT OF THE BLUE WILL POP 3 OR 4 FIREWORKS OFF BIG ONES. AND HE'S NOT ASKING. I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S HARD TO CATCH PEOPLE DOING THIS BECAUSE THEY DO IT IN A TIME WHERE THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY DO IT AND THEY RUN RIGHT PRETTY MUCH WHAT IT'S GOING ON. BUT I THINK WHAT WE DO IS JUST MAKE SURE WE LOOK AT IT CASE BY CASE, SET SOME KIND OF POLICY GOING, MOVING FORWARD AND MAKING SURE WE'RE ALSO INFORMING THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA. SO THAT WAY THEY HAVE A HEADS UP SO WE CAN PUT THAT ON OUR CITY COMMUNICATION. IT'S IMPORTANT AS WELL, MAKING SURE EVERYBODY HAS A HEADS UP. SO THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR ME. BUT I THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS IF YOU'RE A GROUP, YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING. WE'LL GET SOME GUIDELINES BUT ASK. IT'S IMPORTANT. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS, I HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS ABOUT MULTIPLE GROUPS ASKING TO DO FIREWORKS DISPLAYS WITHIN THE CITY. I THINK THAT'S A BAD PRECEDENT TO SET. I THINK IT'S DANGEROUS.

IT'S A DANGER TO THE HOMES IN THE AREA. AS MUCH AS I'D LOVE TO SUPPORT ALL THE NONPROFITS THAT WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT, I THINK THAT IT SETS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. MAYOR, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT FIREWORKS ARE PROBABLY TOP FIVE LEAST FAVORITE THINGS FOR ME, AND THIS IS PROBABLY A ONE TIME DEAL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 24. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER. MAYOR PRO TEM, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER RESO THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 24.

IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? COUNCILOR TOBIAS? ONE LAST ONE LAST THOUGHT ON IT. IT IS IN MY AREA. AND I DID HAVE RESIDENTS REACH OUT. THEY ARE NERVOUS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE CONTACTED THE BUSINESSES NEARBY. CORRECT. ARE THEY GOOD WITH THIS? THIS DISPLAY GOING OFF NEAR THEIR BUSINESSES? IS THAT WHERE THE THIS LOCATION IS GOING TO BE AT? I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR THE RADIUS IS. YEAH. OF HOW FAR THAT THEY'VE BEEN CONTACTED. BUT I KNOW SEVERAL IN THE AREA HAVE BEEN CONTACTED. OKAY. AND THE FIRE CHIEF HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.

YES. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR APPROACHING US FOR THE PERMISSION BECAUSE AGAIN, IT'S ONE THING FOR PEOPLE TO GO OFF AND JUST DO IT ON THEIR OWN. BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS ACTUALLY BROUGHT FORWARD TO WHERE IT'S ACTUALLY PLANNED. AND, YOU KNOW, A STRATEGIC PLAN HAS BEEN PLACED. A COURSE WE WILL BE NOTIFYING POLICE ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, IF THEY SEE SOMETHING GO OFF ON THAT END. BUT I DO HAVE THE RESERVATIONS ON THAT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE ARTILLERY SHELLS THAT WILL GO OFF. THEY GOT TO LAND SOMEWHERE. SO BUT WITH THIS HERE, I UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM, I KNOW WHO THEIR ORGANIZATION IS AND IT DOES SET A PRECEDENCE. BUT THEN AGAIN, WE'LL TAKE IT CASE BY CASE MOVING FORWARD. AND THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO REVIEW IT AND SO FORTH. SO YEAH, I'D JUST LIKE TO GET CLARIFICATION FROM AMY. IF WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE IT A AN ILLEGAL EVENT IN THE CITY LIMITS, JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, THE ORDINANCE PROVIDES THAT UNPERMITTED FIREWORKS DISPLAYS ARE NOT ALLOWED. THERE IS A PROCESS BY WHICH DISPLAYS CAN BE PERMITTED, AND THIS IS A WAY TO DO IT. SO THAT'S A YES. ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT COMES TO MIND WAS FROM MANY YEARS AGO. THERE WAS A DEATH AT A SCHOOL, AND THEY WANTED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CEREMONY WHERE THEY RELEASE BALLOONS AND BALLOON RELEASING IS TECHNICALLY AN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. AND SO THEY MADE A REQUEST SIMILAR, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW IT ALL WORKED OUT. BUT WE ARE A BODY THAT CAN MAKE THOSE DECISIONS CASE BY CASE. AND MAYBE THIS IS A TIME WHERE WE GET TO SEE HOW IT WORKS AND SEE WHAT THE FEEDBACK IS, AND WHETHER IT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO AGAIN. SO HOPEFULLY BEAUTIES BRIGHTSIDE UNDERSTANDS THE YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO AND YOU KNOW TAKES EVERY PRECAUTION THAT THEY CAN TO DO IT IN A RESPECTFUL WAY. SO ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED I KNOW RELUCTANTLY BUT I THINK IT SETS A BAD PRECEDENT. MOTION

[21) Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the Board of Adjustment appointments, terms, and vacancies.]

CARRIES 6 TO 1. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 24. RECEIVER REPORT HOLD. DISCUSSION PROVIDES STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, TERMS AND VACANCIES. MISS MCCOLLUM. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS ITEM IS BEING BROUGHT BEFORE YOU IN REGARDS TO OUR BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. THEY'RE CURRENTLY. APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR AND CONFIRMED BY COUNCIL. OUR CURRENT BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT HAS BEEN APPOINTED SINCE 2016, 2021.

AND WE ACTUALLY HAD SOME ALTERNATES ADDED IN 2024. THANK YOU. AND WE'RE JUST LOOKING TO

[02:10:04]

SEE IF WE CAN ALIGN REALLY HOW OUR BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT IS APPOINTED WITH ALIGN WITH OUR OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS IN THAT PROCESS. SO YEAH, I'LL JUST JUMP ON ON THAT. I WASN'T EVEN REALLY AWARE. IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE'VE LOOKED AT THE PROCESS, BUT I WOULDN'T DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HAVING THAT PARTICULAR PROCESS DIFFERENTIATED FROM AS COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE BOARD'S POLICIES. AND I THINK WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS WORKING. SO I WOULD LIKE TO FOLD BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS INTO IT FOR VARIOUS REASONS. IT DIDN'T GET FOLDED IN. SO UNLESS SOMEBODY HAS A REASON TO KEEP IT AS IS, I'D LIKE TO I'D LIKE TO HAVE IT BE THE NOMINATE AND CONFIRM THROUGH THE COMMITTEE ROTATION THAT WE HAVE. WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE THAT VOTE. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO AMEND THE BOARD'S THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT APPOINTMENT TERMS AND VACANCIES POLICY TO ALIGN WITH THE OVERALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS POLICY.

SECOND MOTION BY THE MAYOR, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER RIZZO. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. ALL RIGHT. NEXT

[22) Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the strategy for aesthetic design elements for the roundabouts within City roadways.]

UP IS AGENDA ITEM 22. RECEIVE A REPORT. HOLD A DISCUSSION. PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE STRATEGY FOR ESTHETIC DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR ROUNDABOUTS WITHIN THE CITY.

ROADWAYS. MISS MCCULLOUGH. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M HOPING THE PRESENTATION WILL COME UP FOR THIS ONE. BUT ESSENTIALLY AN IS BACK WITH US FROM A COLEMAN AND ASSOCIATES.

THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE HELPING US WITH OUR ROUNDABOUTS. WE'RE REALLY GOING TO LINK THE ROUNDABOUTS AND DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR THAT. WITH THE ACCUMULATION AND COMING IN ON OUR ROADWAYS.

SO TONIGHT WE REALLY KIND OF WANTED TO FEATURE SOME IDEAS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS. LOOKING AT EACH ROUNDABOUT, REALLY KIND OF HAVING AN ELEMENT OF ART SIGNAGE AND OR LANDSCAPING WITH THAT AND KIND OF A PLAN TO SEE WHERE WE CAN GO FOR THAT. AND THANKS. SO THE PLAN WOULD REALLY BE WITH THIS FIRST PHASE OF ROUNDABOUTS THAT WE HAVE COMING ONLINE.

PERFECT. AND WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE IF THAT'LL WORK. GREAT. THANK YOU. SO REALLY WE HAVE A LOT OF ROUNDABOUTS COMING IN WITH A LOT OF ROAD BOND PROJECTS. SO WE'RE REALLY KIND OF BREAKING THEM DOWN INTO FOUR DIFFERENT PHASES AND GROUPING THEM WITH THE DESIGN AND BUILD OF THE PROJECT. SO REALLY ONE THROUGH 12 KIND OF COMING ALONG COLORS AND THEN EAST COLORS.

HOOKING UP WITH BEBE ARE KIND OF THE FIRST PHASE OF ROUNDABOUTS THAT ARE COMING ONLINE AND REALLY LOOKING AT FOCUSING POTENTIALLY ON PLANNING STRATEGIES WITH SOME LANDSCAPING, ART AND ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHICS, SIGNAGE AND BRANDING AND THEN EVOLVING KIND OF OUR KYLE BRAND WITH THAT, WITH THESE ROUNDABOUTS AND REALLY GOING BACK TO POTENTIALLY OUR ARTS AND CULTURAL BOARD TO RECEIVE SOME FEEDBACK ON IT, AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY THE PARKS BOARD, IF YOU SO ALIGN. THESE ARE SOME ROUNDABOUTS THAT THE COLEMAN GROUP HELPED PULL TOGETHER, KIND OF HIGHLIGHTING SOME PLANNING STRATEGIES THAT WE COULD INCORPORATE INTO THE ROUNDABOUTS FOR THIS. AND THEN WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, REALLY KIND OF LOOKING AT A STRONG PLANTING DESIGN, LOOKING AT USING SOME LOCAL STONE TO CREATE SOME VERTICAL CHANGE IN INTEREST. OF COURSE, LOOKING AT IMPORTANCE OF SEASONAL AND COLOR AND THEN INTRODUCING SOME DROUGHT TOLERANCE AND SOME POTENTIAL ROCKS AND DIFFERENT THINGS TO REDUCE IRRIGATION AND MAINTENANCE AS WELL. SO IF WE HAD A ROUNDABOUT THAT WAS REALLY LOOKING AT SOME OF THE ART AND ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHICS, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE SOME ELEMENTS THAT COULD BE INCORPORATED IN THOSE. AND AGAIN, EVERY ROUNDABOUT WOULD HAVE KIND OF ITS OWN THEME. NOT ALL ROUNDABOUTS WOULD HAVE THE SAME THEME. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LIKE THREE ART ON THE SAME ROADWAY, BUT YOU COULD INTERSPERSE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY AND THAT THIS WOULD GIVE US THE ABILITY TO LOOK WITH THE ARTS AND CULTURAL BOARD, CONNECT WITH LOCAL ARTISTS, HIGHLIGHT SPECIAL INTERESTS IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND HAVE SOME PERSONALITY REALLY WITHIN OUR ROUNDABOUTS. AND THEN SIGNAGE AND BRANDING IS ANOTHER ELEMENT THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT CREATING IN SOME OF THE ROUNDABOUTS AS WELL. THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THAT AND THEY CAN ADD THEIR OWN FOCAL POINT INTO THESE. AND WE DO HAVE SOME GREAT SIGNAGE ALREADY, BUT KIND OF TAKING OUR CURRENT SIGNAGE MAYBE TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND EVOLVING THAT, WHICH I THINK COLEMAN HAS HELPED WITH SOME OF
