[00:10:07]

ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE I TAKE THE GO? MIKE OKAY, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE BETWEEN SCHOOL AND EVERY OTHER EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY YOU HAVE IN SCHOOL AND BEING A PART OF THIS PROCESS, IT'S GREAT. AND YOU DO HAVE A VOICE. REMEMBER THAT WE DO LISTEN, AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST EXAMPLES OF THAT IS THE PARK DOWNTOWN. KYLE, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT INCLUSIVE PARK, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT KAYAK BROUGHT TO US. AND WE TOOK THAT TO HEART AND WE IMPLEMENTED THAT NOT ONLY IN THAT PARK, BUT OUR PARKS ACROSS THE CITY. WE'RE NOW IMPLEMENTING INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUNDS, AND THAT'S THANKS TO THE HARD WORK OF THE KAYAK GROUP BEFORE YOU. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO REALLY PUSH YOURSELF TO THE LIMIT AND GET GET SOMETHING, SOME GREAT IDEAS TOGETHER AND BRING THEM OUT TO US. YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PEERS ARE LOOKING FOR. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. SO PLEASE GIVE US IDEAS.

WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF GUYS UP HERE. WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOOD FOR US SOMETIMES WHEN IT COMES TO YOUNG PEOPLE. SO PLEASE SHARE YOUR IDEAS AND GET EXCITED ABOUT IT.

THANK YOU. TOBIAS. SENIORS 25. YEAH. HEY, I JUST WANTED TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU.

AND I HOPE YOU GUYS REALLY ENJOYED AND LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE CITY AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COMES ALONG WITH IT. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE WITH YOUR QUEST TO BE INVOLVED, HAVE A VOICE, AND BECOME PART OF YOUR COMMUNITY. AND I HOPE WITH THIS GROUP AND THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR PRO TEM HEIZER, FOR BRINGING THIS BACK. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST. AND LIKE I SAID, CONGRATULATIONS AND CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO BRING BRING IDEAS TO YOUR COMMUNITY MOVING FORWARD.

ALL RIGHT, SO I FORGOT TO MENTION, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS RECOGNIZING THE KIDS WHO ARE GRADUATING. SO FROM LAST YEAR WE HAVE GABRIEL. AND JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO ALL GO OUT IN THE LOBBY AND KICK ALL THOSE OLD PEOPLE OUT OF THE LOBBY, AND IT'S GOING TO BE YOUR TIME OUT THERE IN A MINUTE HERE. SO GABRIEL, WHO I BELIEVE IS HERE, THANK YOU. FROM LAST YEAR'S CLASS, EMMA, ANTHONY, MIRABEL AND ALEXIA, THANK YOU GUYS ALL VERY MUCH AND CONGRATULATIONS. AND WE WOULD LOVE TO GO OR TO COME UP AND TAKE A PICTURE HERE AND THEN PIVOT OUT TO THERE IF THAT'S COOL WITH EVERYBODY. ALL RIGHT. COME ON UP. ALL RIGHT.

[00:15:06]

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEARING WITH US. I KNOW WE GOT A LOT OF BUSINESS TO GET TO, BUT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A TEN MINUTE BREAK. WE'RE GOING TO START THE NEXT ITEMS AT 735 ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER. WE ALMOST HIT IT. WE ALMOST DID IT.

EXACTLY. SO AT THE TIME IS 737. WE'LL CALL THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER. NEXT UP IS CITIZEN

[II) Citizen Comment Period with City Council]

AND AT THE LAST MEETING, WE HAD A FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER WHO KNEW THOSE RULES VERY WELL AND VOTED ON THEM MULTIPLE TIMES, SPEAKS AT NEARLY EVERY COUNCIL MEETING, AND HAS NOW FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

SHE CHOSE TO TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO NOT ALLOW HERSELF TO BE CALLED, TO ORDER, TO ENGAGE IN PERSONAL ATTACKS, AND IN PARTICULAR, TO REFERENCE PERSONNEL MATTERS THAT I HAVE A DUTY TO PREVENT. AND SO AS A RESULT, I TRIED TO GET HER TO STOP. I USED THE GAVEL. THE GAVEL WAS NOT PERSUASIVE, AND EVENTUALLY WE HAD TO HAVE CALL FOR A BREAK AND HAVE AN OFFICER ESCORT HER OUT. FIRST TIME IN SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS THAT THAT'S EVER HAPPENED. I HATED EVERY SECOND OF IT. WHICH IS WHY, LIKE I SAID, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I PURSUE, BUT BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE, I REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I HAD ANY

[00:20:02]

I ENJOY THEM, THE COUNCIL ENJOYS THEM VERY MUCH. THERE IS GREAT LATITUDE WHEN YOU COME AND SPEAK. YOU CAN SPEAK ABOUT ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. YOU CAN ALSO SPEAK ABOUT ITEMS THAT ARE JUST OF GENERAL IMPORTANCE TO THE CITY. SO LONG AS YOU DON'T ENGAGE IN PERSONAL ATTACKS AND OR TALK ABOUT PERSONNEL MATTERS, OR BE OPENLY RACIST OR VILE. SO I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU ALL OF THOSE THINGS. IF THERE'S A SITUATION THAT COMES IN THE FUTURE WHERE SOMEONE WISHES TO OPENLY VIOLATE THE RULES OF COUNCIL THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED AND REFUSES TO BE CALLED TO ORDER, THAT PROCEEDING WILL GO EXACTLY ABOUT THAT WAY. AGAIN, THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER OPTION IF THEY REFUSE TO COMPLY. SO WITH ALL THAT SAID, YOU SHOULD FEEL VERY FREE AND VERY WILLING TO COME AND SPEAK ON MATTERS. UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE GOING TO PROTECT YOU FROM A CROWD MOB MENTALITY, AND SO LONG AS THAT YOU STAY OUTSIDE OF THOSE PARTICULAR CATEGORIES, YOU ARE OPEN TO SPEAK YOUR MIND AND YOU KNOW WHETHER THAT'S IN SUPPORT OF SOMETHING THE CITY IS DOING OR IN CRITICISM OF SOMETHING THAT THE CITY IS DOING. WE HAVE FOLKS WHO COME AND SPEAK CRITICALLY, YOU KNOW, ON VARIOUS ITEMS, PROBABLY AT EVERY SINGLE MEETING. THEY ARE ALWAYS GIVEN THEIR FULL THREE MINUTES. WE ALWAYS LISTEN ATTENTIVELY. WE ALWAYS HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. SO I HOPE THAT WE CAN FOLLOW THOSE RULES. BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL ASK IF SOMEONE DOES NOT, I WILL ASK THEM TO BE CALLED TO ORDER. IF THEY REFUSE, I WILL INSTRUCT THEM TO TAKE THEIR SEAT. IF THEY REFUSE, I WILL CALL FOR A RECESS. THE COUNCIL WILL STEP UP AND MOVE OUT, AND THE OFFICERS WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO RESTORE ORDER. SO THOSE ARE THE THOSE ARE THE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. THAT'S THE POLICY THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED AND THAT'S HOW WE WILL HANDLE IT MOVING FORWARD. SO WITH THAT, I HAVE A FEW FOLKS WHO HAVE REGISTERED TO SPEAK. FIRST UP IS TRACY.

SHE'LL.

MAYOR, MAYOR, PRO TEM COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS TRACY SHIEL AND I AM A RESIDENT OF KYLE AND HE WAS NOT REFERRING TO ME JUST. AS YOU CAN SEE, I DID TAKE THE TEAM KYLE ACADEMY AND ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY. AS SOMEBODY WHO TOOK A PREVIOUS VERSION OF THIS CLASS BACK IN 2016, THIS COURSE NOW WAS VERY ENLIGHTENING. AS YOU KNOW, MOST OF YOU KNOW, I'M PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH THE WAY OUR CITY WORKS. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, SOME CHANGES IN THE LAST, YOU KNOW, TEN YEARS OR SO, YOU KNOW, TO OTHER CITY MANAGERS, POPULATION GROWTH OF, YOU KNOW, 20 TO 30,000, YOU KNOW, SO BUT I DID WANT TO COMMEND OUR CURRENT CITY MANAGER, BRIAN, AND HIS STAFF, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGERS, AMBER AND JESSE, AND ALL OF THE. WONDERFUL HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE CITY. THEY HAVE REALLY STRIVED TO MAKE THIS CITY A EFFICIENT AND STREAMLINED ADMINISTRATION FOR OUR CITIZENS. YOU KNOW, INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, WITH THE NEW KYLE 311 PROGRAM. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY KUDOS TO EVERYBODY AND OUR STAFF. THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. AND ONE OTHER TAKEAWAY FROM THE CLASS ITSELF WAS IT APPEARED THAT EVERYBODY ACTUALLY EVERY TALK, YOU KNOW, SPEAKER, EVERYBODY WHO WAS THERE TRULY ENJOYS WORKING FOR THE CITY OF KYLE. AND THAT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO SAY FOR A LOT OF COMPANIES, BUT IT JUST SEEMED THAT THAT IS TRULY THE MORALE HERE AT THE CITY OF KYLE. SO I'M EXTREMELY, YOU KNOW, GLAD TO SEE AND HAPPY TO SEE THAT. AND LASTLY, I WOULD NOT BE I WOULD BE REMISS EXCUSE ME IF I DIDN'T MENTION ANOTHER CLASS TO THE RESIDENTS OF KYLE AND THAT IS THE CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY, WHICH IS STARTS HERE IN LATE SUMMER, EARLY FALL, WHERE YOU LEARN VERY SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, FROM ANIMAL CONTROL, DISPATCH, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, VICTIM SERVICES, ALL OF IT, AND GET TO DO A RIDE

[00:25:07]

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS CYNTHIA BOULDING AND I'M THE SECRETARY OF THE BOARD FOR THE KYLE AREA SENIOR ZONE. I WAS ABSOLUTELY DUMBFOUNDED AS I WATCHED THE MAY 27TH COUNCIL MEETING REGARDING THE PLANS FOR THE PROPERTY ON DACY LANE. I WATCHED YOU, MR. MAYOR, IN JUST FIVE MINUTES AND TWO HOURS OF CAREFUL COLLABORATION AND COMPROMISE BY THE CAS BOARD. THE ARCHITECT DAVID LOPEZ, KYLE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY COUNCIL ALL TO COME UP WITH A FLOOR PLAN THAT PROVIDES FOR THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. ONE AMAZING BALLROOM, WHICH WILL ACCOMMODATE 300 PEOPLE, AND RETRACTABLE PARTITIONS PROVIDING SIX SPACES ACCOMMODATING 50 PEOPLE EACH TO ARBITRARILY WIPE OUT PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON PLANS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING OUR NEEDS IS BAFFLING AND FRUSTRATING. YOUR LAST MINUTE CHANGE OF THE INTERIOR DESIGN PLANS SIMPLY WAS NOT NECESSARY, AND WOULD BE DAMAGING AND DEVASTATING TO OUR PROGRAM NEEDS. YOU HAVEN'T MET WITH US TO UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE DO, AND THE POSSIBILITIES THAT CAN BE OPENED UP TO US WITH THESE FLEXIBLE SPACES. YOU MENTIONED PORTABLE DIVIDERS. THERE IS MINIMAL STORAGE IN THE PLAN AS IT IS. WHERE WOULD WE STORE SUCH DIVIDERS, WHICH BY THE WAY, WOULD HAVE NO SOUND BARRIER THERE? THE MERE MENTION OF PORTABLE DIVIDERS ACKNOWLEDGES SOME LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING ON YOUR PART THAT THE SPACE NEEDS TO HAVE THE OPTION OF BEING DIVIDED, WHICH IS WHY WE ALL AGREED ON THE MAX FLEX PLAN.

THERE'S NO WORRY OF SITE BEING INTERRUPTED BY A STACK OF PARTITIONS, AS THERE WILL BE SCREENS STRATEGICALLY PLACED SO THAT ALL CAN SEE. THE SPEAKER, MR. ZUNIGA, TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ALSO CONFUSED BY THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF DESIGN. I DO REMEMBER YOU ASKED MR. ZUNIGA IF PARTITIONS COULD BE ADDED LATER. WE ALL KNOW THAT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE AND DISRUPTIVE, SO WHY NOT JUST DO IT IN THE BEGINNING? THANK YOU, MR. ZUNIGA, FOR ASSURING ME THAT YOU WOULD BRING THIS ISSUE BACK TO THE AGENDA. MRS. HARRIS, WHERE DO YOU TRULY STAND ON THIS? YOU HAVE TOLD ME FROM DAY ONE, AS WE DISCUSSED THE PROGRESS OF DICEY LANE. DON'T WORRY. THE SENIORS ARE

[00:30:06]

MR. RIZZO, YOU HAVE EXPRESSED THE NEED FOR MEETING ROOMS, WHICH IS ABSOLUTE JUSTIFICATION FOR KEEPING THE PROPOSAL. PROPOSAL FOR SIX FLEXIBLE SPACES. WE NEED THOSE PARTITIONS. IT'S THE RIGHT DESIGN FOR THE BEST USE OF THE PROPERTY. IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THOSE ARE THE CITIZEN COMMENTS FORMS THAT I HAVE. HAS ANYONE ELSE SUBMITTED A FORM TO THE CITY SECRETARY? DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE JENNIFER. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. WITH NO. IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER, I WILL CLOSE CITIZEN COMMENTS. CITIZEN COMMENTS IS NOW CLOSED. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS THE AGENDA ORDER. IS DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY DESIRE TO MOVE

[III) Agenda Order]

[4) Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding the updated design for the all-wheels skate park at Gregg-Clarke Park.]

THANK YOU WILL. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE TO PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE WITH OUR PROGRESS. SINCE WE GOT ENGAGED WITH THE PROJECT, THAT PROJECT BEING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ALL WHEELS PARK AT GREG CLARK PARK. AS WILL NOTED, MY NAME IS BILL GURNEY. I'M A REPRESENTATIVE OF NEW LINE SKATE PARKS. THE DESIGN TEAM WITH ME TONIGHT IS MY COLLEAGUE JAMIE CURTIS FROM SKATE PARKS. HE'S A REPRESENTATIVE. WELL, HE'S AN OWNER OF SKATE PARKS, AND HE'S PART OF THE BUILD TEAM FOR THE PROJECT. SO WE'RE VERY WE'RE STILL EARLY IN OUR DESIGN PROCESS. WE WILL BE BACK IN JULY TO GIVE ANOTHER UPDATE, BUT WE'RE EXCITED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON EVERYTHING THAT'S TRANSPIRED IN THE PLUS OR MINUS THREE MONTHS SINCE WE GOT REENGAGED WITH THE PROJECT. SO I HAVE 13 SLIDES TO SHARE WITH YOU. I WILL MOVE THROUGH, I WILL BE BRIEF. I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S TIME AVAILABLE AT THE END FOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS. BUT AGAIN, JUST AN UPDATE ON OUR PROGRESS TO DATE. SO IT'S VERY TYPICAL WHEN WE BEGIN A BRAND NEW SKATE PARK OR ALL WHEELS PARK FACILITY, WE HAVE A VERY WELL DEVELOPED PROCESS. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DO IS A REGIONAL ANALYSIS OF SKATE PARKS AND ALL WHEEL PARKS THAT ALREADY EXIST IN THE REGIONAL NETWORK. SO WHAT WE SEE IS GREG CLARK PARK AND KYLE, TEXAS, AT THE EPICENTER OF THE STUDY, AND WE START TO LOOK AT WHAT SKATE PARKS ARE. ALL WHEEL PARKS CURRENTLY EXIST WITHIN A TEN MILE, 20 MILE, AND 30 MILE RADIUS OF THIS SITE. SKATE PARKS COME IN ALL DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES. THERE'S NO RULE BOOK FOR THE DESIGN METHODOLOGY. ULTIMATELY, OUR GOAL HERE IS TO UNDERSTAND THE REGIONAL NETWORK OF PARKS, AND WE DON'T WANT TO REPLICATE THE EXPERIENCES OF THESE EXISTING PARKS, BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO COMPLEMENT THE EXPERIENCES OF THESE EXISTING PARKS. UNDERSTANDING THAT COUNCIL HAS INVESTED A SIGNIFICANT BUDGET FOR THE PROJECT, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A FAIRLY GRANDIOSE VISION FOR THE GREG PARK ALL WHEEL FACILITY. SO WE TOOK OUR REGIONAL ANALYSIS AND WE EXPANDED IT MORE BROADLY TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE ALL WHEEL FACILITIES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST IN THE SKATE OF IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND THEN PARTICULARLY THE LARGER ONES, THE DESTINATION LEVEL FACILITIES. SO WHAT WE SEE THROUGH THIS STUDY IS HOUSTON HAS ITS ONE REAL BIG PARK UP NORTH AROUND DALLAS FORT WORTH. THERE'S A CLUSTER OF DESTINATION WORTHY FACILITIES. AND THEN AS WE GET SOUTH INTO CENTRAL TEXAS, IN AROUND AUSTIN AND SOUTH, THERE'S ALSO A CLUSTER OF A HANDFUL OF DESTINATION LEVEL FACILITIES. AND WE WANTED TO

[00:35:04]

UNDERSTANDING THE SITE CONTEXT IS A REALLY KEY PART OF OUR PROCESS AS WELL. IN THIS SLIDE, WE SEE IN THE GREEN AREA SHADED IN GREEN, THE ENTIRETY OF GREG CLARK PARK. WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHERE GREG CLARK PARK SITS. YOU KNOW, CONTEXTUALLY IN THE CITY RELATIVE TO SOME OF THE MAJOR ARTERY ROADS. THE RESIDENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE, THE EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE. SO WHAT WE SEE IS THE GREEN ZONE IS THE ENTIRETY OF GREG CLARK PARK. THE ORANGE ZONE IS THE PROJECT SITE THAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN TO WORK WITH. AND WE SEE HOW IT IS, YOU KNOW, A VERY HIGHLY VISIBLE LOCATION THAT'S INTEGRATED WITH ALL KINDS OF OTHER ATTRACTIVE ACTIVE AMENITIES IN THE PARK.

AND AGAIN, OUR EFFORT IS TO COMPLEMENT THAT AND ENHANCE THAT. THIS SLIDE IS OF A SOMEWHAT TECHNICAL NATURE. SO IF YOU'LL BEAR WITH ME FOR A MOMENT, A BIG PART OF WHAT OUR TEAM HAS BEEN UP TO THROUGH THE MONTH OF MARCH AND APRIL WAS ENHANCING OUR BASE DATA COLLECTION. SINCE WE GOT REENGAGED WITH THE PROJECT, WE DID AN ADDITIONAL TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY EXTENDING TO THE NORTH PART OF THE SITE, WHICH WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY PART OF THE STUDY AREA. WE DID ADDITIONAL GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION, SO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SUBSURFACE PROFILE SOILS PROFILE IS LOOKING LIKE. WE ALSO DID A UTILITIES ANALYSIS. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE EXISTING ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE GRADING DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE CAN ALSO SEE HIGHLIGHTED ON THIS DIAGRAM IS THERE IS SOME FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT UTILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE RUNNING THROUGH THE PROJECT SITE. THE TWO STRIPES THE BLUE STRIPES IN THIS DIAGRAM THE NORTH SOUTH ONE IS A WATER SERVICE LINE. AND THE EAST WEST RUNNING ONE IS A WASTEWATER SERVICE LINE. SO WE'VE DONE A STUDY THAT HAVE LOCATED THOSE UTILITIES, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO OBSERVE EASEMENTS ON EITHER SIDE. THAT LEAVES US WITH OUR AREA IN ORANGE AND OUR ORANGE.

THE AREA IN ORANGE BECOMES OUR CONSTRAINT FREE DEVELOPMENT SITE. SO ARMED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BUDGET, THE SITE OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS, FEEDBACK FROM OUR USER GROUPS, WE'RE THEN ABLE TO START SKETCHING. AND THIS IS WHERE THE OUR WORK GETS REALLY, REALLY FUN. AT ANY GIVEN POINT, WE'LL STAND UP AND SHOW PRELIMINARY SKETCHES TO OUR, OUR STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING COUNCIL AT A 2D STAGE. WE'LL BE BACK IN JULY TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER UPDATE AND SHOW YOU A MORE REFINED CONCEPT DESIGN, INCLUDING SOME VERY COMPELLING THREE DIMENSIONAL RENDERINGS. BUT THAT PROCESS STARTS VERY EARLY AND VERY LOOSE. SO COMPARED TO WHAT WE SHOW ON THE SCREEN BEHIND THE SCENES, WE'RE DOING AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF SKETCHING AND SORT OF CREATIVE EXPLORATION. BUT FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRESENTATION AND COUNCIL'S KNOWLEDGE, WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT TAKING OUR PROJECT AREA, RECOGNIZING THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE BELOW GROUND UTILITIES, AND THEN REALLY TAKING THE DESIGN AND SEPARATING IT INTO FOUR MAJOR ZONES, THREE ACTIVE ZONES, INCLUDING THE ZONE IN YELLOW, WHICH WE'RE SEEING AS

[00:40:02]

WHAT MAKES A GREAT ALL WHEEL FACILITY? IT IS CERTAINLY THE ACTIVE TERRAIN, BUT COMPLEMENTING THE ACTIVE TERRAIN WILL BE THE MENU OF AMENITY ITEMS. SO THESE ARE VISION BOARDS. WE HAVEN'T LANDED ON ANY OF THESE IDEAS SPECIFICALLY. WE CONTINUE TO DO A FAIR AMOUNT OF EXPLORATION, BUT WE ARE MOST DEFINITELY LOOKING AT INCLUDING A SIGNIFICANT SHADE ELEMENT IN THE DESIGN. WE ARE ALSO WANTING TO ENSURE THAT THE PARK WILL BE LIT. WE ARE ALSO WANTING TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS A SIGNAGE ELEMENT. THERE'S BEEN TALK WITH STAFF ABOUT CREATING SOME DONOR RECOGNITION OPPORTUNITIES, AND THEN WE ALSO KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT PLACES TO SIT, ESPECIALLY FOR PARENTS AND SPECTATORS, EVEN THE ACTIVE USERS, IS KEY. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT INTRODUCING SITE FURNISHINGS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. FORMAL SITE FURNISHINGS THAT YOU WOULD PURCHASE AND INSTALL. BUT THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE DESIGN, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE MORE INFORMAL SEATING, BECAUSE WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT SEATING IS IN HIGH DEMAND AND WILL REALLY COMPLEMENT THE PARK. FINALLY, WE HAVE A SLIDE DEDICATED TO SCHEDULE. WE FIGURED COUNCIL WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A SCHEDULE UPDATE. AS I NOTED A COUPLE OF TIMES, WE ARE SORT OF EARLY IN OUR DESIGN PROCESS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DESIGN TEAM. I'LL SORT OF SHARE THE SCHEDULE AS IT PERTAINS TO THE DESIGN PART OF THE PROJECT. MARCH AND APRIL IS LARGELY DATA COLLECTION. MAY AND JUNE IS OUR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN WORK. WE'LL BE BACK IN JULY TO PRESENT A REFINED CONCEPT DESIGN, JULY THROUGH OCTOBER OF TECHNICAL DESIGN AND THE CREATION OF CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS, LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN FOR SPA. THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM TO INITIATE CONSTRUCTION, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT BREAKING GROUND BEFORE THE END OF 2025. WOW, THAT'S VERY GOOD. VERY EXCITING. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS FOR THE PRESENTER OR QUESTIONS? COUNSELOR RIZZO YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION AND FOR GOING BACK AND GETTING MORE COMMUNITY INPUT. LOOK, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS, OF THIS PARK, THE SIZE OF THE SKATE PARK AND ALL THE PROGRAMING AROUND IT. BUT THE ALL WHEELS IS SOMETHING THAT CAME TO US VIA EMAIL. FOR SOMEONE THAT WAS LOOKING FOR AN ALL INCLUSIVE, ALL WHEELS PARK, AND TO TAKE THAT INFORMATION FOR

[00:45:03]

TAKE YOUR TIME. DO A REALLY GOOD JOB ON THIS ONE. LET'S LET'S GIVE THE RESIDENTS OF KYLE SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN HARRIS. COUPLE OF THINGS I WISH THIS HAS BEEN AVAILABLE. WHEN I WAS TAKING MY GRANDKIDS TO BUDA AND SAN MARCOS. AND, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE NOT ANYWHERE IN THIS CLASS. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE MATERIALS THAT CAN BE USED FOR THE SKATE PARK THAT ARE HEAT, DON'T HOLD HEAT AS MUCH THAT ARE COOLER MATERIALS. INTERESTING QUESTION. I MEAN, WE WILL BE USING PRIMARILY CONCRETE AS THE MAIN SURFACE. WE HAVE LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE DIFFERENT ESTHETICS. SO IT WON'T BE JUST A SIMPLE PLAIN GRAY CONCRETE. WE CAN INTRODUCE ELEMENTS OF INTEGRAL COLOR AND DO DIFFERENT FEATURES IN THE PARK WITH WITH DIFFERENT INTEGRAL COLOR. THE RAMP ELEMENTS, THE LEDGE ELEMENTS, ETC. TO CREATE SOME VISUAL INTEREST. AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THE PLAIN WHITE CONCRETE IS VERY REFLECTIVE OF THE SUN, BUT THE DARKER COLORS WOULD BE LESS SO.

CONCRETE WILL BE OUR PRIMARY BUILDING MATERIAL. IT WILL BE BROKEN UP WITH GREEN SPACES AND SHADE OPPORTUNITIES. OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN ZUNIGA, YOU TOUCHED ON MY QUESTION THERE. IT WOULD BE. I'M CURIOUS TO SEE HOW THE SHADE IS GOING TO WORK WITH THE WITH THE PARK. SO, ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT, LIKE, SHADING WHERE PEOPLE ARE SITTING OR SHADING OVER SOME OF THE SKATE AREAS? LIKE, HOW DOES THAT WORK? WELL, THERE ARE TARGET FOOTPRINT. IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN WE'RE GOING TO SAY 30 TO 35,000FT■!S. IT WOULD BE VERY COSTLY TO SHADE THAT ENTIRE AREA. SO IN RESPONSE TO THAT, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING IS CREATING VERY INTENTIONALLY SPECIFIC AREA OF THE PLAN. WE'RE CALLING IT THE SOCIAL SPACE OR THE HUB. THAT WOULD BE THAT'S WHERE THE SHADE OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE, AND IT MIGHT NOT BE SHADE DIRECTLY OVER THE ACTIVE TERRAIN OR FOOTPRINT, BUT IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY CLOSELY ASSOCIATED. SO THAT ANYBODY SITTING IN THAT SOCIAL HUB UNDER THE SHADE HAS A GOOD VISUAL ACCESSIBILITY OF ALL THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITY AREAS IN THE ALL WHEEL PARK. AND YOU TOUCHED ON SOMETHING. AND, COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS, I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT WITH TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY AND THE PAINT COLOR SCHEMES OUT THERE, THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG DIFFERENCE. ON THE REFLECTIVE HEAT COMING OFF OF THE CONCRETE.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY BIG. BUT EVEN WITH TREES OF ADEQUATE SIZE, PUTTING THEM IN STRATEGIC AREAS THAT WILL SHADE EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT AS WELL.

SO KEEPING ALL THOSE CONCEPTS IN MIND WOULD BE GREAT. DO YOU DO YOU WORRY THAT TREES, WHEN THEY SHED GET IN THE WAY OF SKATEBOARDS AND THOSE WHEELS? I DON'T THINK YOU PUT THEM THAT CLOSE. YEAH, NOT THAT CLOSE. JUST TALLER SHADE STRUCTURE FURTHER AND TALLER. YEAH.

BECAUSE COUNCILMAN HARRIS. I BET I IMAGINE, AND I HAVE NO EXPERTISE IN THE DESIGN OF SKATE PARKS, BUT I IMAGINE THAT YOU CANNOT SHADE THE SKATE AREAS TOO MUCH BECAUSE THEN YOU END UP WITH SHADE AND SUN AND VISION PROBLEMS BETWEEN THE TWO. THAT IS TRUE. YOU'LL WANT A UNIFORM EXPERIENCE OF LIGHTING AND SORT OF ESTHETIC AS YOU MOVE THROUGH THE PARK, BUT AT THE SAME TIME RECOGNIZING HOW VITAL SHADE ELEMENTS ARE SO THEY MIGHT NOT BE DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVE TERRAIN, BUT IT WILL BE IN A IN A PLACE THAT'S LIKE VERY IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT. YEAH, I NOTICED IT, ESPECIALLY IN THE SAN MARCOS PARK, THAT SOMETIMES WHEN IT WAS REALLY, REALLY SUNNY, IT WAS REALLY HARD FOR THE KIDS TO ACTUALLY SEE THE DROPS. YES, BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS REFLECTING LIGHT. YES. AND THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN DO TO CONTROL THAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, CREATING SPECIFIC SHADE ZONES IS GOING TO BE ONE, ONE TREATMENT THAT WE USE. OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR TOBIAS. I JUST LOOK AT THE SHADE ASPECT OF IS DURING A REST PERIOD. SO YOU KNOW YOU'VE

[00:50:06]

AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT SPECIFIC TYPE OF SEATING. I KNOW THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROCK SEATING AND THEN METAL, AND THEN THE COATED TYPE OF ALUMINUM ON THERE. I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO YOU'LL GIVE US DIFFERENT FEEDBACK ON WHAT WOULD BE BEST FOR SPECIFIC TYPES OF TEMPERATURES. THAT COULD GET UP TO OVER 100 AND SO FORTH. ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL BE WORKING CLOSELY WITH STAFF TO IN THE SELECTION OF THE SITE FURNISHING PIECES. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'RE LOOKING FOR WE REALLY WANT TO EXPLORE A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES TO PUT A LOT OF SEATING OPPORTUNITIES AND A VARIETY OF SEATING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE DESIGN. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE.

[5) Receive a report regarding the installation of GFiber (Google Fiber) in the City of Kyle.]

WE'VE LONG OFFERED A ONE GIGABIT, SYMMETRICAL SERVICE, AND FOR QUITE A WHILE, A TWO GIGABIT INTERNET SERVICE FOR RESIDENTS. WE NOW OFFER FIVE AND EIGHT GIG SERVICE, WHICH IS REALLY, REALLY FAST. ONE THING OF NOTE, AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I THINK OUR CUSTOMERS AND OUR COMMUNITIES APPRECIATE US BACK WHEN WE LAUNCHED IN 2012 WITH OUR ONE GIGABIT SYMMETRICAL SERVICE, WHICH EVERYBODY THOUGHT WAS CRAZY, THERE'S NO WAY ANYBODY NEEDS THAT MUCH SPEED NOW. EVERYBODY OFFERS IT ALMOST. IT'S BEEN THE SAME PRICE FOR 12 SINCE 2012, SO OVER TEN YEARS WE'VE NEVER CHANGED THAT PRICE AND HAVE NO INTENT TO DO SO. OUR PRICING AGAIN IS TRANSPARENT.

THAT INCLUDES NO CONTRACTS, NO OTHER HIDDEN FEES AND ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT. IT'S ALL LOADED UP INTO THAT ONE SIMPLE PRICE. WE NOW OFFER BUSINESS PRODUCTS AS WELL, WHICH ARE A GREAT VALUE FOR OUR SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED BUSINESSES IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. OFFERING A ONE GIGABIT

[00:55:01]

MAYBE THEY TRY TO GET ON A TECHNICALITY. THOSE THOSE KIND OF THINGS. WE HAD A LOT OF THAT.

YEAH. THAT'S UNFORTUNATE. SO DIRECTIONAL DRILLING WE WILL BE MINIMIZING THIS TECHNIQUE ARIEL IS A IS A TRADITIONAL DEPLOYMENT METHOD ATTACHING TO EXISTING POLES. THAT'S NOT PERMITTED ACTUALLY IN THE CITY OF KYLE RIGHT OF WAY. SO WE DON'T OBVIOUSLY DON'T PLAN TO DO ANY OF THAT. THE PRIMARY METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION WILL BE MICRO TRENCHING. AND THAT IS A NARROW, SHALLOW TRENCH THAT WILL BE CUT IN BETWEEN THE STREET AND THE CURB. YOU SEE A PICTURE OF ONE

[01:00:03]

ALL OF THESE MATERIALS WILL HAVE OUR CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE HOTLINE ON IT, AND THAT'S A DEDICATED PHONE NUMBER THAT G FIBER MAINTAINS. IT'S ANSWERED BY HUMAN BEINGS 24 HOURS A DAY, WHERE THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF INQUIRIES AND QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS CAN BE ADDRESSED. ALSO, AS WE START TO GET CLOSE TO WORK ON A PARTICULAR STREET, FOLKS WILL START TO SEE UTILITY LOCATE MARKINGS. SO THAT'S SPRAY PAINT, WHERE WE'RE IDENTIFYING WHERE OUR RUNNING LINE IS GOING TO BE, WHERE OUR VAULTS ARE GOING TO BE, WHERE OTHER UNDERGROUND UTILITIES MAY BE PRESENT. AND OFTEN YOU'LL SEE THOSE LITTLE FLAGS, THOSE LITTLE DOOHICKEYS, THEY STICK IN THE GRASS TO MARK THINGS. WE ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO LEAVE THOSE THERE UNTIL WE'RE OUT OF THE AREA, SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE SEEN ABOUT 48 HOURS BEFORE WE'RE ABOUT TO START CONSTRUCTION.

THEY'LL START YOU'LL START TO SEE TEMPORARY NO PARKING SIGNS ON THE STREET. IS THERE A WAY YOU COULD DO LIKE DOOR HANGERS THERE IN THE AREA, THE STREETS YOU'RE WORKING ON. SO THE RESIDENTS WILL BE THERE? YES. SO YEAH, WE WILL. DOOR HANGERS. AND THERE'S ACTUALLY THAT'S WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE ON THE SCREEN THERE. OKAY. THEY'RE BOTH IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. AND THEY ALSO INCLUDE A QR CODE THAT CAN TAKE YOU TO A WEBSITE WITH OTHER QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THERE.

GREAT. I DIDN'T SEE THOSE. SORRY ABOUT THAT. NO WORRIES. SO AGAIN WE HAVE OUR CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE HOTLINE THAT'S LISTED THERE. AND IT'S ON ALL THOSE MATERIALS. WE HAVE ONLINE RESOURCES FOR FOLKS WHERE THEY CAN OPEN UP A TICKET. IF THERE'S AN ISSUE THAT THEY SEE THAT HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED OR THEY THINK THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM, THERE'S A TICKET THAT'S OPENED UP, THERE'S A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT ENSURES THAT ALL OF THOSE TICKETS ARE RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER. YOU KNOW, IT'S CONSTRUCTION, SO THINGS HAPPEN. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S RESOURCES THERE. ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS PEOPLE LIKE TO COMMUNICATE. IF IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, THEY CAN GO ONLINE AND DO IT. THEY CAN CALL IF THEY'RE COMFORTABLE DOING THAT. AND THEN GETTING TO THE MAYOR'S COMMENT, AND, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THROUGH THIS PROCESS, ALL QUESTIONS AND ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED. BUT IF FOR SOME REASON THEY'RE NOT ADDRESSED TO THE SATISFACTION, WE DO HAVE LOCAL TEAM MEMBERS HERE ON THE GROUND THAT WILL SERVE AS ESCALATION POINTS. BOTH OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS THAT ARE OUT IN THE FIELD, ALL THE CITY STAFF AND THE COUNCIL WILL HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER THAT THAT THEY CAN CALL OR TEXT ME ANYTIME IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT BEING ADDRESSED. AND SO THAT'S OUR COMMITMENT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCED IN SOME OF THE PREVIOUS FIBER DEPLOYMENTS IN THE CITY ARE NOT EXPERIENCED WITH OUR DEPLOYMENT, AGAIN, BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS TO DELIGHT AND SURPRISE FOLKS, AND FOLKS CAN IF THEY'RE INTERESTED ABOUT WHEN SERVICE WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WHEN THEY CAN SIGN UP FOR SERVICE. THEY CAN ALSO GO TO OUR WEBSITE, FIVERR.COM, AND SIGN IN WITH THEIR THEIR EXCUSE ME, THEIR PHYSICAL ADDRESS, AND THEY WILL GET NOTIFIED WHEN SERVICE BECOMES AVAILABLE. BUT JUST BECAUSE IT'S A QUESTION THAT ALWAYS COMES UP ONCE WE GET STARTED, WE'RE LIKELY TO START IN THE SOUTHEAST PART OF KYLE WHERE OUR OUR CENTRAL FACILITY IS LOCATED, OUR LITTLE FIBER HUT THERE ON A ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY. AND WE'LL START WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE JUST AROUND THAT AREA. AND WE WILL START TO MOVE NORTH FROM THERE. INITIALLY WE WERE THINKING WE WOULD MOVE JUST NORTH FROM THERE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AND THEN WHEN WE WERE DONE THERE, GO TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. BUT WE HAVE KIND OF CHANGED OUR PLANS AND OUR INTENT IS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST UP THE HIGHWAY, BUT ALSO GO AHEAD AND START WEST AND START MOVING NORTH FROM THERE AS WELL. AT THE SAME TIME, ASSUMING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FULLY ALIGNED WITH

[01:05:04]

[01:10:02]

EXCUSE ME. OUR RUNNING LINES THAT ARE THERE AT THE SEAM WHERE THE CURB AND GUTTER MEETS THE STREET. SO THAT'S, THAT'S THERE AS IT RUNS IN FRONT OF THE HOUSES. SO IN A NORMAL SITUATION ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, EVERY OTHER HOME AT THE PROPERTY LINE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE A SERVICE SERVICE LINE THAT GOES PERPENDICULAR UNDER THE CURB AND IN THE AREA WE CALL THE BEAUTY STRIP, WHICH IS IN BETWEEN THE CURB AND THE SIDEWALK, WE WILL LOCATE WHAT WE CALL A DROP VAULT, WHICH IS IT'S ABOUT YAY BIG. IT LOOKS LIKE A WATER METER BOX OR A SPRINKLER BOX. IT'S NOT VERY, VERY LARGE. IT'S ABOUT YAY BIG. IT'S ALL UNDERGROUND. AND THAT IS THE AREA WHERE IF ONE OF THOSE RESIDENTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE WISHES TO SIGN UP FOR THE SERVICE, THAT'S WHERE THEY WOULD MAKE THE CONNECTION TO THE NETWORK. NOW, EVERY NOW AND AGAIN ALONG THE NETWORK WHERE WE HAVE KIND OF A JUNCTION POINT OR NEED TO LOCATE SOME EQUIPMENT, WE WILL HAVE A LARGER VAULT AND THOSE RANGE IN SIZE FROM ABOUT THREE BY FOUR TO I THINK FIVE BY SEVEN. SO THEY CAN GET FAIRLY FAIRLY BIG. THOSE ARE NOT ON EVERY BLOCK THERE AT CERTAIN POINTS IN THE NETWORK.

THOSE ARE TYPICALLY LOCATED NEAR THE CORNERS OF A OF A PARTICULAR STREET. AND WE IF THERE'S A HOME ON THE CORNER, WE TRY TO LOCATE THAT IN THE SIDE YARD AND NOT IN THE FRONT, SO THAT IT'S NOT DISRUPTING THE VIEW OF THE FACADE. THEY ARE NECESSARY FOR US TO ACCESS THE NETWORK, SOMETIMES TO DO MAINTENANCE, WHATEVER, BUT WE MINIMIZE THEM AND WE TRY TO PUT THEM OUT OF THE WAY, AND THEY'RE ALL LOCATED WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY, AND THEY ALL ARE UNDERGROUND. SO IS THERE A LOW CHANCE THAT IF YOU DON'T WANT IT, YOU MAY NOT HAVE A NEED FOR A BOX IN YOUR YARD? WE DO INSTALL THE DROP VAULTS AT EVERY OTHER RESIDENCE. WE NEED TO DO THAT BECAUSE WE CAN'T.

YEAH, WE CAN'T SERVE ONE OF THE HOUSES. WE DON'T HAVE THE OTHER ONE THERE. EVEN IF ONE RESIDENT WANTS IT, WE KEEP IT ALL IN THE RIGHT OF WAY IN THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY. NOW, ON THOSE LARGER VAULTS, WE WILL WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER. SO SOME FOLKS HAVE FANCY LANDSCAPING IN THAT AREA WHERE WE WOULD RATHER PUT THE VAULT. AND SO WE'LL WORK WITH THAT BECAUSE WE GOT TO RESTORE EVERYTHING. WE'LL OFTEN PROACTIVELY KNOCK ON THE DOOR SAYING, WE DON'T WANT TO MESS UP THIS BEAUTIFUL DECORATIVE LANDSCAPE BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE TO PAY TO PUT IT BACK. SO LET'S TRY TO FIGURE OUT A GOOD PLACE TO PUT IT SO THAT IT'S NOT DISTURBING THAT THAT INVESTMENT.

YEAH. AND SO MY I WOULD JUST LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT Y'ALL WORK WITH THE HOMEOWNERS WHO ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF BOXES IN THEIR YARD SO THAT THEY JUST DON'T END UP WITH, YOU KNOW, MANY MORE. AND THESE BOXES ARE BECAUSE IF THEY'RE ALREADY. YEAH, BUT THERE'S SOME YARDS ALREADY WITH VERY LARGE BOXES. BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TOP TOP BOXES. THEY ARE THEY ARE LEVEL. THEY'RE LEVEL. BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL BELOW THE GROUND. YEAH. THE ONES WHO ALREADY HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, IMPACTED THE MOST I HEAR YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE YOU GUYS GET STARTED. SO THANK YOU FOR COMING FOR THE FOR THE CONTINUAL COMMUNICATION. I'VE SEEN JOHN MICHAEL A LOT AROUND THE REGION TOO, SO I KNOW HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE, WHICH IS A BIG PART OF THE DRAW HERE, NOT JUST YOU AS A PERSON, BUT AS AN ENTITY AND ORGANIZATION, THE INVESTMENT AND YOUR REPUTATION, I KNOW, MATTERS A LOT TO YOU, AND THEREFORE I KNOW GOOGLE FIBER G FIBER IS GOING TO IS GOING TO DO RIGHT BY US. I'M EXTREMELY CONFIDENT IN THAT ACTUALLY. SO I'M I'M QUITE CERTAIN THAT LOTS OF FOLKS ARE VERY ANXIOUS TO GET TO GET STARTED. SO I JUST CAN'T WAIT. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU COMING TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR ME IN

[V) Consent Agenda]

[01:15:06]

[VI) Items Pulled from Consent Agenda]

AND SO AS LONG AS THEY'RE MAINTAINED AND KEPT IN OPERATION, THEN THEY'LL THEY'LL OPERATE FINE DURING THE STORMS. SOUNDS GOOD. JUST MAKING SURE WE WERE BUILDING TO THE I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO GET THEM ALL INSTALLED AND THEN THEY DON'T WORK WHEN YOU NEED THEM.

EXACTLY. YEAH. NO, I LIVED THROUGH THAT SNOWPOCALYPSE, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS.

SO THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. MAKES ME FEEL BETTER, COUNCILMAN. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ON THESE GENERATORS, THERE WILL BE FUEL BASED, CORRECT? SORRY. YES, THEY WILL BE DIESEL FUEL. AND THEN FOR THIS AMENDMENT TWO WITH THE CITY HALL WOULD BE NATURAL GAS. NATURAL GAS ON THAT. AND HOW OFTEN WOULD THEY BE TESTED. SO THE WE'LL HAVE AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCHES. THAT WAY THE OPERATORS WON'T NEED TO BE PRESENT TO, TO MANUALLY GO OUT TO THE SITE AND SWITCH IT IN EMERGENCY MODE. THOSE AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCHES WILL ROUTINELY RUN THEM EVERY WEEK UNDER NO LOAD. OKAY. AND THEN THERE'LL BE MAINTENANCE PLANS FOR THE OPERATIONS TO COME IN WITH LOAD BANKS OR OPERATE THEM UNDER LOAD OR WITH LOAD QUARTERLY OR QUARTERLY OR MONTHLY. BECAUSE THE ONES THAT I MAY EXPERIENCE WITH AT MY, MY FACILITY THAT I WORK AT, THEY DO MONTHLY TESTING ON THOSE GENERATORS. AND SO THAT WAY WHEN IT'S HOT, OR ESPECIALLY A LOT WHEN WE START GETTING INTO OCTOBER, NOVEMBER WITH THE COLDER WEATHER, THEY RUN THEM QUITE FREQUENTLY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE UP AND RUNNING ON THAT END. YEAH, THEY'LL BE RUN UNDER NO LOAD EVERY WEEK, AND THAT'S TO MAKE SURE ALL THE FLUIDS ARE RUNNING PROPERLY.

THAT WAY, WHENEVER YOU START IT UP, IT ACTUALLY STARTS AS OPPOSED TO IT'S SITTING IN UNUSED FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT STARTS AND IT WON'T START. KIND OF LIKE A LAWNMOWER. YEAH. YEAH, EXACTLY. EACH GENERATOR MANUFACTURER HAS DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE MODELS. AND SO IT COULD BE QUARTERLY. IT COULD BE ANNUALLY. IT DEPENDS ON THE MANUFACTURER THAT'S AWARDED.

OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE. BUT IF ANYTHING ELSE, IF THERE'S I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER TOBIAS. SECOND BY COUNCILMAN RIZZO TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 11. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY I, I, I.

THANK YOU ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 14 SECOND READING.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE REDISTRICTING OF THE CITY'S SINGLE MEMBER CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS. WITH THE ADOPTION OF PLAN B, AND ESTABLISHING NEW DISTRICT BOUNDARY LINES FOR CITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL PLACES TWO, FOUR AND SIX. BASED ON THE 2020 CENSUS, CITY COUNCIL VOTED 6 TO 1 TO APPROVE ON FIRST READING FIVE 2725 THIS IS MISS ALCORN READS ITEM. BUT COUNCILMAN RIZZO. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO JUST VOICE

[01:20:01]

[01:25:02]

SO WILL THERE BE WORK WITH, I GUESS, THE SHOULDERS TO AS YOU DSL? I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S A DSL LANE. I THINK THEY I THINK THEY DO HAVE THEY DO HAVE THEIR TXDOT PERMIT THOUGH. OKAY. SO YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S BEING APPROVED IN THE RIGHT PROCESS STEPS HERE.

RIGHT. ARE YOU GOOD? I'M GOOD. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 15. MOTION MADE BY MYSELF, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER TOBIAS. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? NO. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO.

[16) Consider approval of a resolution by the City Council of the City of Kyle, Texas authorizing and approving publication of Notice of Intention to Issue Certificates of Obligation; Complying with the Requirements Contained in Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12; and Providing an Effective Date.]

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KYLE, TEXAS. AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING PUBLICATION OF NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, COMPLYING WITH THE REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RULE 15, C TWO DASH 12, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. PRESENTING IS STEPHANIE LABBÉ. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS STEPHANIE LEEB WITH NORTON ROSE FULBRIGHT, OUR FIRM SERVICE'S BOND COUNSEL TO THE CITY. WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU ALL TONIGHT IS JUST A NOTICE OF INTENT THAT WOULD BE PUBLISHED IN A NEWSPAPER OF GENERAL CIRCULATION AND THE CITY TO LET RESIDENTS KNOW THAT THE CITY INTENDS TO ISSUE SOME CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS. SO JUST BY WAY OF BACKGROUND, BACK AT CITY COUNCIL MEMBER APRIL 1ST, 2025, CITY APPROVED A LONG TERM FINANCING PLAN FOR CURRENTLY APPROVED BUT AN ISSUED GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, WHICH ARE ROAD BONDS AND SOME PARK BONDS AND ALSO SOME CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS. WE WERE BEFORE YOU ALL LAST WEEK FOR CITY COUNCIL PRESENTATION ABOUT POTENTIAL CHANGES TO THE PLAN OF FINANCE, WITH SOME LEGISLATION THAT WE WERE TRACKING, BUT THAT LEGISLATION ULTIMATELY DID NOT PASS OR COME TO FRUITION. SO THERE WAS NO NEED FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ANY ALTERATIONS TO THAT PRIOR PLAN. SO FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR OR THE UPCOMING CO ISSUANCE, IT'S PROPOSED THAT THE CITY WOULD ISSUE APPROXIMATELY 79 MILLION OF $50,000 OF CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED WITH THOSE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS INCLUDE WATER UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, WASTEWATER UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.

SOME ROUNDABOUTS WITHIN TOURIST NUMBER TWO, AND ALSO LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS, PARK IMPROVEMENTS, AND THEN OTHER CITY WIDE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE UTILITY SYSTEM. WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, AND ALSO THE TOURIST TWO IMPROVEMENTS. THOSE PORTIONS OF THE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATIONS ARE INTENDED TO BE SELF-SUPPORTING. AND SO THAT MEANS THAT THOSE CERTIFICATES WOULD BE PAID FROM REVENUES OTHER THAN AD VALOREM TAXES. AND SO FOR THE WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITY SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS, THAT WOULD BE WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM REVENUES. AND THEN FOR THE TOURIST, TWO IMPROVEMENTS, THOSE WOULD BE TOURIST TWO REVENUES. SO SORRY, THIS PLAN JUST KIND OF WALKS YOU THROUGH THE OUTLINE THAT I JUST PROVIDED ABOUT THE CERTIFICATES THAT ARE INTENDED TO BE SUPPORTED BY VALOREM TAXES AND THOSE THAT WOULD BE SUPPORTED BY OTHER REVENUES OF THE CITY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MISS LEVY.

[01:30:03]

SO WHAT WE'RE REALLY VOTING ON JUST FOR TONIGHT IS JUST TO ISSUE THE NOTIFICATION TO THE RESIDENTS. BASICALLY, WE'RE LETTING THEM KNOW THIS IS BEING PROPOSED FOR FUTURE EXPENDITURES TOWARDS THE CITY. CORRECT. SO WE'RE JUST BASICALLY SAYING TONIGHT WE'RE JUST VOTING TO GET THAT OUT THERE. AND I KNOW IT'S A IT IS A VERY, VERY LARGE NUMBER. IT DOES MAKE ME NERVOUS SEEING IT AS THIS HIGH. BUT I'M LOOKING AT WHAT WE'RE SPENDING IT ON FOR THE CITY IN THE USAGE.

OKAY. YOU'VE GOT A WATER UTILITY SYSTEM, THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, AS OUR CITY CONTINUES TO GROW, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS AND GET SOME NEW INFRASTRUCTURE. IN NUMBER TWO, WE GOT WASTEWATER UTILITY SYSTEM. WE'VE GOT TO GET THOSE ROUNDABOUTS GOING. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ROUNDABOUTS FOR FOUR YEARS NOW AND HAVEN'T SEEN ONE REALLY SINCE. SO WE'VE GOT TO GET THAT GOING. THE LIGHTING AND THE MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS. OF COURSE WE'RE ALL ABOUT THE NATURE PARKS AND THE IMPROVEMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES THAT THAT STAFF HAS BROUGHT TO US BEFORE THEY DESPERATELY NEED. THEY'RE RUNNING OUT OF ROOM. AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THE ACTIVITY CENTER THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND THEN INCLUDING OUR TRANSPORTATION, OUR PUBLIC WORKS IMPROVEMENTS. SO I KNOW THIS IS A VERY LARGE NUMBER, AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE QUESTIONING WHY IT'S SO HIGH, BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU. WE'VE GOT TO START PLANNING FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS OF OUR CITY, AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO START GETTING THOSE CONVERSATIONS, THOSE HARD CONVERSATIONS, BUT ALSO IF WE CAN BE UPFRONT WITH OUR RESIDENTS IN THE PUBLIC, LET THEM KNOW THE LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE'RE NEEDING TO ISSUE THE DEBT ON IT IS FOR THE NECESSITIES OF THE CITY. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR, MAYOR. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? COUNCILOR ZUNIGA? YEAH, I THOUGHT THE LINE ITEMS INITIALLY HAD MORE MONEY FOR THE KENSINGTON PARK. AND THEN THE ANIMAL ADOPTION CENTER IS MISSING, TOO. WASN'T THAT SOMETHING WE WERE GOING TO STRETCH OUT AND CLOSE. SO THIS IS IN PROCESS. CAN TALK FURTHER ABOUT THIS AS WELL. BUT THIS IS THE FIRST PIECE FOR KENSINGTON. SO IN OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM IN FACT WHAT WE SHOWED ON THE 27TH, WE SHOWED THE ENTIRE PROJECT AND HOW IT WOULD BE SOLD OVER A SEVERAL YEAR PERIOD. THIS IS JUST THE FIRST TRANCHE OF THAT. AND THEN THE ANIMAL SERVICES BUILDING WOULD COME NEXT YEAR AS WELL. WELL, THANK STEPHANIE FOR KEEPING US UPDATED WITH THIS AND HAVING A PLAN B, I GUESS THIS WAS GOING TO GET US THERE IF THAT HAD PASSED AND WE HAVE WE HAVE HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS HERE, YOU KNOW, TO BENEFIT OUR CITY, TO GROW OUR CITY. SO I LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU TOOK THOSE STEPS AND LET US, LET US KNOW, LIKE WHAT WHAT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF THESE THE CHANGES THAT WOULD OCCUR. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT.

ANYONE ELSE GOING BACK TO THE PARKS ISSUE OR THE PARKS CONVERSATION. IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT TO WHERE WE WOULD HAVE TO WE COULD NEGOTIATE EVENTUALLY WITH THE LARGE AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE OR, OR JUST SAY THE AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE, IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD MAYBE LOOK AT, MAYBE DIVIDING SOME OF THAT. THOSE FUNDS, SEEING HOW MUCH YOU KNOW, THE SHELTER IS GOING TO BE THE PARK AS A WHOLE. YOU KNOW, I THINK WE JUST NEED TO LOOK AT IT MORE IN A WIDER LENS THAN BEING AT A SET NUMBER. SO FOR YOUR I THINK YOU'RE REFERRING TO LIKE KENSINGTON PARK. SO IT WAS TENTATIVELY THE BUDGET IS 17 MILLION. BUT IF THE COUNCIL CAME BACK AND SAID WE WANT TO PHASE IN SOME AMENITIES OR WE ONLY NEED 10 MILLION OR 12 MILLION OR 13 MILLION, WE CAN ABSOLUTELY LOOK AT THAT. AND SOME OF THESE DESIGN DOLLARS MIGHT NOT BE ALL NEEDED, AND THEY COULD BE PROGRAMED FOR THE STRETCH OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. YES, SIR. THAT'S STILL TO BE DETERMINED AS WE'RE WORKING WITH THE TASK FORCE AND THEN CERTAINLY THE CITY COUNCIL, EXACTLY WHAT AMENITIES ARE THERE AND THE COST. WE DON'T HAVE ALL THOSE IDENTIFIED JUST YET. AND

[01:35:03]

THERE'S MORE OF A HUNGER FOR THESE, AND WE'VE GOT THEM ALL TEED UP AND READY TO GO. IF WE'RE TRYING TO DO THESE PROJECTS. EVEN 12 MONTHS AGO, I THINK THE PRICE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE HIGHER, ACTUALLY, THAN THEY ARE NOW, BECAUSE THERE'S JUST MORE OF A COMPETITION FOR THE WORK. SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE IT MOVE FORWARD. BUT YOU KNOW, A LOT TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT. IT IS A LOT OF DEBT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. DO WE NEED ACTION ITEM ON THIS PLEASE. MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION BY MAYOR SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TOBIAS THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 16. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY I, I AYE, ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0.

[22) Consider approval of a contract with Global Payments d.b.a OpenEdge approving rates for processing fees associated with citywide credit card transactions for a period of 1 year with 5 one-year extension options.]

[01:50:04]

MUNICIPAL COURT CHARGES 1 TO $2.50. SERVICE CHARGE FOR CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS. THAT'S BELOW $100. THEY'LL CHARGE $1. IF IT'S ABOVE 100, THEN THEY CHARGE THE $2.50 CODE OR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CHARGES A 2% PROCESSING FEE FOR CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS, AND PARKS DOESN'T HAVE ANY KIND OF PASS THROUGH. THAT'S MORE TRANSACTIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING AT PARKS FACILITIES, AND WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THIS IN MORE DETAIL AS WE GO FORWARD TO PROPOSE SOMETHING FOR 2026 AND THE BUDGET TO LOOK AT MORE OF A FULL COST RECOVERY FOR THESE TRANSACTIONAL FEES, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING LOTS OF ALTERNATIVES FOR OTHER METHODS OF PAYMENT SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE TRANSACTION FEES. SO WE WANTED TO SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF A COMPARISON BETWEEN WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY BEING CHARGED AND WHAT WE HAVE NEGOTIATED AS NEW RATES FOR THESE FEES. SO PER TRANSACTION, WE PAY A RATE THAT VARIES FROM 2.76 TO 2.9%. AND WE'RE PROPOSING THAT TO NOW BE DROPPED DOWN TO 1.25% CONSISTENTLY ACROSS ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT MIGHT BE PROCESSING CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS. THE FEE THAT WE'RE BEING CHARGED, AGAIN PER TRANSACTION RANGES FROM $2.18 TO $2.35. THAT WILL NOW BE DROPPED DOWN TO $0.50. SO THESE ARE ALL CUMULATIVE AND PER TRANSACTION. THERE'S CURRENTLY A CHARGE FOR A SETTLEMENT RATE OF 0.83% TO 1.21%. THAT IS BEING PROPOSED TO DROP DOWN TO 0.02%. A SETTLEMENT FEE. PROPOSED. BY WHOM? PROPOSED? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING WITH THIS ITEM. WE HAVE NEGOTIATED THESE NEW RATES WITH GLOBAL PAYMENTS. SO THIS VOTE GOES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT COLUMN. IT'S NOT THIS IS NOT AN LIKE YOU'RE TAKING IT TO THEM AND THEN THEY'RE COMING BACK. NO THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS. ALL RIGHT. WELL I'M GLAD. THIS IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE. IT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE. YEAH. THE SETTLEMENT FEE GOES FROM $1.14 TO $2.60, DOWN TO $0.02 PER TRANSACTION. RISK ASSESSMENT IS 2.04% TO 2.5%. THAT'S GOING DOWN TO 0.02%. AND THEN THAT RISK ASSESSMENT FEE GOES FROM $2.18 TO 310, AND IT WILL GO DOWN TO $0.02 PER TRANSACTION. AND THEN THE AUTHORIZATION FEE THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING CHARGED AT $0.15 PER TRANSACTION WILL BE PROPOSED AT ZERO. SO I SHARE ALL THAT. SO YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN CHARGING ACROSS ALL FUNDS FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS. WHEN WE LOOK AT GENERAL FUND, AND THIS IS PULLED STRAIGHT FROM OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM, WHERE WE GATHER THROUGH THE COST CENTER OF THIS, AND THIS IS CREDIT CARD UTILIZATION FEES, PLUS SOME NOMINAL CHARGES FOR LIKE CHECK FOR CHECK FEES. BUT MOST OF THIS IS CREDIT CARD FEES. SO SEEING BACK IN 2021 WE'RE ABOUT 590,000. IN 2024 WE WERE A LITTLE OVER 2 MILLION. AND BASED ON OUR CURRENT YEAR ESTIMATE AND WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY WITH JUST STRAIGHT LINE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SPENT THIS MUCH CURRENT YEAR AND GET A PER MONTH ESTIMATE FOR THAT. WE WOULD WE WOULD ALLOCATE THAT OUT TO BE 2.6 MILLION. IF WE DON'T MAKE A CHANGE IN HOW WE ARE HANDLING THIS CONTRACT OR THESE, YOU'RE NOT PAYING. 2.6 IS WHAT WE'VE SPENT THROUGH MAY.

YOU'RE SAYING THAT'S WHAT YOU THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD SPEND THIS IS THROUGH MAY. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS SHOWS THE 2025 BUDGET FOR EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE A BUDGET TO CAPTURE THESE TRANSACTION FEES. AND THAT'S A BUDGETED AMOUNT OF 985,000 TO DATE FOR 3 OR 4, 30, 2025, WHICH IS WHEN WE COMPILED THESE NUMBERS, WE WERE AT 1.54 MILLION. AND IF WE EXTRAPOLATED THAT OUT TO THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WE WERE ESTIMATING 2.6 MILLION. AND THAT, OF COURSE, DOESN'T TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT SUMMER MONTHS ARE HIGHER. WATER MONTHS.

SUMMER MONTHS MIGHT BE WHEN MORE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ARE COMING ONLINE OR FEES ARE BEING PAID.

THIS IS JUST A STRAIGHT, STRAIGHT LINE PROJECTION. SO WITH THE ACTION TODAY, THIS WOULD GO INTO PLACE FOR TRANSACTIONS IN JUNE AND ON, AND WE ANTICIPATE AVOIDING $780,000

[01:55:02]

THIS IS ONE STATEMENT FOR ONE MONTH FOR CREDIT CARD OR CREDIT CARD MERCHANT STATEMENT FOR PEOPLE COMING IN PERSON FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL TO PAY THEIR UTILITY BILLS. OKAY, SO JUST PEOPLE PAYING UTILITY BILLS IN PERSON, THERE WERE 8694 TRANSACTIONS IN APRIL. THAT WAS A VALUE OF 1.384 MILLION. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PER TRANSACTION FEE THAT WE HAVE FOR UTILITY BILLING, IT'S $2.14. AGAIN, VARIES, BUT FOR UTILITY BILLING IN PERSON IT'S $2.14. SO THAT WAS $18,605. AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT ANOTHER 2.9%, WHICH IS AN ADDITIONAL 40,000. SO THOSE ARE THE RATE FEES AT 58,000. WE HAD SETTLEMENT FEES, SETTLEMENT FUNDING FEES OF $22,235, RISK ASSESSMENT FEES OF 48,000. SO THAT'S 129,000 IN FEES THAT GLOBAL PAYMENTS CONTROLS, THE INTERCHANGE FEES, THE VPN SECURITY CHARGES AND OTHER FEES ARE THE FEES THAT THEY PASS ON TO US THAT ARE ASSESSED BY THE MAJOR CREDIT CARD CARRIERS OR BANK FEES, SO THEY DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THOSE LESS, OR IF THEY NEGOTIATE A DIFFERENT RATES WITH WITH THOSE PARTICULAR ENTITIES. SO 1.384 MILLION AND OF THAT OR SORRY ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, WE PAID $173,000 IN FEES.

WE COLLECTED $2.50 PER TRANSACTION. SO WE GENERATED $21,735 OF REVENUE TO OFFSET THAT 174,000. SO WE'RE BASICALLY PAYING WITH THE CURRENT AGREEMENT, ABOUT 12.5% OF EVERY OF FEES ON EVERY CHARGE. SO MY ONLY QUESTION ON ALL OF THIS IS, DO YOU THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE TO STAY WITH THE SAME VENDOR? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY WERE WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT. YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAKE THIS CHANGE. NOW OUR RECOMMENDATION IS 100% TO MAKE THIS CHANGE. AND THEN WE'RE CONTINUING TO ASSESS. AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT THAT SAME CREDIT CARD STATEMENT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF WE WERE LOOKING AT IT UNDER THE NEW FEE STRUCTURE WITH THE REVISED CONTRACT. AND AGAIN, THAT DROPS THE PER TRANSACTION FEE DOWN TO $0.50 AND THE RATE DOWN TO 1.25, THAT SETTLEMENT FUNDING FEE DOWN TO. 0.02. AND THE RISK ASSESSMENT FEE OF 0.02. SO THAT CHANGES IT FROM $129,000 IN FEES DOWN TO $22,000 IN FEES. SO AGAIN, THE FEES THAT WERE THE CHARGE THAT WE PASS ON TO OUR CUSTOMERS IS NOT OFFSETTING THAT COMPLETELY. SO WE WILL BE RECOMMENDING THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS THAT WE LOOK AT WHAT THAT OFFSET SHOULD BE, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE PLENTY OF ALTERNATIVES THAT DON'T INVOLVE PAYING WITH A CREDIT CARD. BUT WE DON'T THINK THAT I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THAT THE UTILITY ABSORB ALL OF THAT TRANSACTION COST FOR PEOPLE PAYING BY CREDIT CARD WHEN WE HAVE OTHER ALTERNATIVES. SO IF YOU LOOK AT OUR AVERAGE RATE, I'M SORRY, OUR AVERAGE UTILITY BILL RIGHT NOW $159.31 WHEN WE CALCULATED IT UNDER THE CURRENT CONTRACT, WE'RE PAYING $19.93 IN FEES ON TOP OF THAT, OR FOR THAT $159, IT'S ABOUT 12.5%. UNDER THE REVISED CONTRACT, IT'S $7.63 BECAUSE AGAIN, GLOBAL PAYMENTS PASSES THROUGH ALL OF THE OTHER FEES THAT THEY HAVE, THAT THEY GET CHARGED BY BANKS AND BY CREDIT CARD CARRIERS. BUT IT'S STILL A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE. IT'S INCREDIBLE. SO IF APPROVED TODAY, THIS WILL GO AS I SAID.

THIS WILL GO INTO EFFECT FOR JUNE TRANSACTIONS. WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT MAKING A RECOMMENDATION THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS TO AMEND THE FEE SCHEDULE TO REFLECT PASSING A PERCENTAGE OF THESE KIND OF TRANSACTIONS, YOU KNOW, A PERCENTAGE FEE FOR PROCESSING THEIR TRANSACTIONS BY CREDIT CARD, BUT THAT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY VERY EASILY IDENTIFIABLE WAYS TO MAKE THAT THROUGH AN ACH PAYMENT OR ECHECK OR OTHER ALTERNATIVES. SO WE WON'T ONLY ALLOW, WE WON'T BE FORCING PEOPLE TO PAY THESE CREDIT CARD FEES, BUT WE DO WANT TO SEE THAT WE'RE REDUCING THE BUDGET EXPENSE FOR THE AFFECTED DEPARTMENTS FOR THE CREDIT CARD

[02:00:04]

ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. TRUELOVE? COUNCILMEMBER TOBIAS. SO THE CURRENT PERCENTAGE IS 12.5. YES. PROPOSED IS 4.8. YES. WHAT'S THE CATCH. THERE IS NO CATCH.

THERE'S NONE THAT CAN BE SAID PUBLICLY PROBABLY. THAT'S RIGHT THERE SHOWS YOU THE COST OF CONVENIENCE. YOU KNOW WHEN EVERYBODY'S PAYING TAP CREDIT CARD AND ALL THAT STUFF. I MEAN, I KNOW CASH IS EVENTUALLY GOING AWAY IN CERTAIN AREAS. THAT'S A LOT OF FEES THAT WE'RE HAVING TO PAY OUT FOR THAT. YES, FOR THE CARDS TO BE USED. AND IF PEOPLE WANT TO CONTINUE TO USE THEIR CARDS FOR THAT CONVENIENCE OR IF THEY WANT TO GET THE MILES OR WHATEVER THE REWARDS ARE THEY HAVE, THEN I THINK THAT'S THEIR RIGHT TO DO. BUT THEY SHOULD PAY THE TRANSACTION THAT'S ASSOCIATED YOU USE. YEAH, EVERYTHING COUNTS TOWARDS YOUR TRAVEL AND EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS TO FORK OVER THE $2 EVERY TIME WE HAVE A TRANSACTION FOR THE COST OF CONVENIENCE. THAT'S NOT INCLUDING STAFF AND EVERYBODY ELSE THAT HAS TO PROCESS THE FEES AND SO FORTH, AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL FEES THAT COME ALONG WITH IT. I REALLY DON'T THINK THERE'S A CATCH. YEAH. JUST GOING FROM 12 TO 4, EIGHT. THAT'S LIKE, OKAY, THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING THERE. MAYBE IT'S JUST TO EARN THE BUSINESS OR TO KEEP US THERE. YEAH. MAYOR MITCHELL BRINGS UP A GOOD POINT ABOUT WELL, I JUST THINK IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO WATCH VERY CAREFULLY. THERE'S MILLIONS OF DOLLARS COMING THROUGH ALL OF THESE REVENUE STREAMS THAT WE HAVE, AND WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM VERY CAREFULLY. I WANT TO THANK ROSIE AND JOSHUA FOR REALLY DOING A DEEP DIVE INTO THIS AND FINDING A LOT OF SAVINGS, BUT SOME OF THE FEES THAT WE HAD WHEN THERE WERE A FIXED DOLLAR AMOUNT, $2.50, THAT WAS ESTABLISHED SOME TIME AGO. WELL, AS THE BILLS CONTINUE TO RISE IT AT ONE POINT, PERHAPS IT WAS COVERING A LARGE PORTION OF THE COST. BUT AS THE BILLS CONTINUE TO RISE, IT BECAME OUT OF WHACK. SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE IT AS A PERCENTAGE BASIS. SO YOU CAN ALWAYS TRY TO TRACK THAT AND THEN MONITOR THESE ON A MONTHLY, QUARTERLY, ANNUAL BASIS SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU PAYING, AND ARE YOU RECOVERING YOUR COSTS. AND THERE ARE TIMES WHERE YOU MAY SAY, WE WANT THE CONVENIENCE AND THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO PAY REMOTELY. WE'RE OKAY ABSORBING SOME COST ON THOSE, BUT CLEARLY WE THINK THIS IS TOO HIGH AND WE WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOU IMMEDIATELY SO WE COULD GET IN FRONT OF THIS RIGHT AWAY AND THEN LOOK AT OTHER SERVICE OPTIONS MOVING FORWARD, INCLUDING WHAT WE'RE USING WITH TYLER. AND IF FOR SOME REASON WE CHOOSE TO GO AWAY FROM THIS PARTICULAR AGREEMENT AND WE CHOOSE TO GO INTO THE TYLER PLATFORM, THAT IS NOT WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY USING, BUT THEY'RE THEIR OWN VERSION OF THIS. IT'S A NOMINAL GET OUT OF THIS CONTRACT, KIND OF FEEDS A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS. IT'S NOMINAL. YOU KNOW, I HEAR THE WORD CONVENIENCE. IT'S NOT ALWAYS A CONVENIENCE. IT'S YOU JUST DON'T MAKE IT IN TIME. RIGHT. SO THE CITY ONLY OPENS SO MANY HOURS A DAY. AND DO YOU TRUST CASH IN A BOX? NOT ALWAYS. SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE SOMETIMES IF YOU'RE WORKING INDIVIDUAL, IT'S YOUR ONLY OPTION, RIGHT? IT'S NOT A CONVENIENCE, IT'S AN OPTION. SO WE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE JUST DON'T THINK OF IT AS CONVENIENCE. IT'S PROBABLY THE ONLY OPTION. SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, WE GOT A LOT OF HARD WORKING FAMILIES THAT COMMUTE. WE'RE STILL A BIG COMMUTING CITY. SO IT'S TRYING TO BE I KNOW IF I'M ONLY WORKING IN AUSTIN ONCE A WEEK NOW, BUT WHEN I WAS WORKING THERE FIVE DAYS A WEEK, I WAS LEAVING AN HOUR AND A HALF EARLY TO GET THERE IN TIME. SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEN WHAT MY AND THEN LEAVING. IT'S ANOTHER HOUR OVER AN HOUR TO GET BACK. SO IT'S TOUGH. NO NOTED. I WOULD JUST I THINK THAT'S A GREAT POINT. AND I THINK ALSO IT'S KIND OF OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS. AND IF THEY'RE ABLE TO JUST PUT IT ON THEIR CREDIT CARD, IT HITS EVERY MONTH. THEY DON'T THINK ABOUT IT VERY MUCH. THE POINTS IF YOU HAVE A STRONG, YOU GET THE POINTS. AND IF YOU HAVE A STRONG PUSH TO GET THEM ENROLLED IN AN

[02:05:03]

[23) Consider approval of Task Order No. 13 with CP&Y, Inc. dba STV Infrastructure for the startup phase of the Aquifer Storage and Recovery project in an amount not to exceed of $1,136,901.]

[02:10:04]

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU OFTEN HEAR IS, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHY WOULD YOU STORE IT UNDERGROUND, BUILD A RESERVOIR. THE THING IS THAT THE AQUIFER IS HUGE. YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BUILD A COVERED STORAGE RESERVOIR. THAT'S THE SIZE, THE THOUSANDS OF ACRE FEET THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO STORE THIS WATER. IT'S UNDERGROUND, SO IT'S PROTECTED FROM CONTAMINATION VERSUS WHAT IT MIGHT BE IN A IN A SURFACE WATER RESERVOIR. SO AGAIN, IT'S RIGHT BELOW YOUR FEET. IT'S NOT HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY. SO IT'S CONVENIENT TO BOTH PUT IT INTO THE GROUND AND EXTRACT IT.

AGAIN. IT'S A GREAT FIT FOR YOUR CURRENT WATER RESOURCE PORTFOLIO. WE TALKED ABOUT THE MASTER PLAN. AND AS WE LOOKED AT YOUR GROWTH, IT'S AMAZING GROWTH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IT'S EXCITING. BUT YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF WATER THAT YOU'VE GOT TO PROVIDE FOR ALL THESE FOLKS. AS WE'VE STACKED UP ALL OF YOUR WATER RESOURCES, AGAIN, ABOUT TEN YEARS OUT, YOU HAVE NEED FOR SOME NEW STRATEGIES AND SOME NEW WATER RESOURCES. WE'RE THRILLED TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN BRINGING MORE WATER RESOURCES ON. I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE JUST SINCE WE STARTED

[02:15:02]

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE WHEN WE MET MY OWN PERSONAL BACKGROUND.

WHILE THE TIME I WORKED AT SAWS, I DO HAVE A CLASS A WATER OPERATOR'S LICENSE AND I OPERATED THE ASR SYSTEM FROM THE INCEPTION FOR ABOUT THE FIRST EIGHT YEARS. SO I UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WORKS ON THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN THE REAL WORLD INTERACTING WITH YOUR WATER SYSTEM. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND WE WANT YOU TO BE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE HEADED. AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT A SOUND, A SOUND TECHNICAL SOLUTION. THE FIRST PHASE OF THIS IS STARTING REALLY WITH THE PAPER ANALYSIS, IF YOU WILL. WE KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE WELLS THAT ARE DRILLED IN THE AREA. THERE'S MODELS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED. I UNDERSTAND SOME BASIC WATER QUALITY AND WE WANT TO START WITH THAT. DO AN INITIAL NUMERICAL EVALUATION AND THEN GET DOWN TO A AQUIFER THAT WE BELIEVE IS THE MOST VIABLE. WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE PERMIT COORDINATION PERMITTING ON THESE CAN TAKE A LOT OF TIME. THERE'S A LOT OF DEMONSTRATION SOMETIMES THAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED AND IT CAN REALLY DRIVE THE SCHEDULE. SO ONE OF OUR MAJOR TASKS IS TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THAT, WHAT THE TIME FRAME IS, WHAT ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS ARE TO GET TO THE END. AND THEN ULTIMATELY THE FIRST PHASE OF THE FIELD WORK. AND THAT'S DRILLING A COUPLE OF CORES AND SOME MONITORING WELLS. SO WE UNDERSTAND LOCALLY WHAT THE GEOLOGY LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT THAT WATER QUALITY LOOKS LIKE AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO INTERFACE WITH YOU. THE NEXT STEP THERE'S SOME VARIABILITY IN IT. SO WE WORK WITH STAFF ON THIS. THE NEXT STEP IS A FUTURE TASK. ONCE WE DO THESE STEPS WE'RE GOING TO KNOW HAVE A VERY GOOD IDEA ABOUT WHAT WE'LL NEED TO SPECIFY AND DESIGN FOR THE FOR THE FIRST PHASE, IF YOU WILL, OF THE ASR SYSTEM AND THE FIRST. WELL, SO AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH. A VERY EXCITED TO BEGIN THE PROJECT.

TURN IT BACK OVER TO MIKE. OKAY. THANK YOU PHIL. AND SO RIGHT BEFORE THIS MEETING GOPAL HANDED ME A LITTLE NOTE THAT SAID THAT SENATE BILL NUMBER SEVEN, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT WATER BILL THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS PROPOSED, $1.75 BILLION IS SITTING ON HIS DESK RIGHT NOW, AND ONE OF THE KEY PROJECTS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE FUNDING OUT OF THAT $1.75 BILLION IS AQUIFER

[02:20:01]

YES. SO THERE'S A LOT OF IT I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND. AND I'M TRYING TO KIND OF WRAP MYSELF AROUND IT. SO THIS JUST REMOVES WATER THAT WE ALREADY HAVE HERE IN STORAGE DURING COLD WEATHER.

[02:25:07]

SO, I MEAN, COULDN'T YOU THEN, IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO USE MORE IN SOME MONTHS OF THE SUMMER, I GUESS IT DOESN'T. WATER DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. I GUESS WHERE YOU WHERE YOU CAN BUY LESS OF IT IN MONTHS BECAUSE IT'S ALL ON A PER. THAT WAS THE FIRST THING WE EXPLORED WHEN I GOT HERE IS, HEY, GBRA, CAN I GET 1 MILLION IN JANUARY AND GET 7 OR 8,000,000IN JULY? AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY AND THE LINES TO GET THAT FLOW OF WATER TO US, THAT WOULD BE ONE WAY TO DO IT. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY CAN'T DO THAT. SO THIS IS THE COST EFFECTIVE WAY FOR US TO DO IT. IT DOES SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA SINCE YOU'RE ALREADY PAYING FOR IT, YOU ALREADY HAVE IT. YOU MAY NOT BE USING ALL OF IT THAT DAY, SO PUT SOME ASIDE AND BRING IT BACK UP WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE PRESSURED AT A DIFFERENT POINT IN THE IN THE YEAR. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. AND WE'RE HOPING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 2030 AND 2034 WE'LL BE ABLE TO START WITHDRAWING UPWARDS OF 2 MILLION GALLONS A DAY. SO THIS IS THIS IS NO LITTLE FEAT. THIS IS THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR THE CITY. AND THIS THING WILL THIS THING WILL GO ON, YOU KNOW, FROM NOW ON.

WHICH JUST TO PUT THAT IN CONTEXT, YOU KNOW, THE WATER THAT WE'RE GETTING THIS MONTH IS GOING TO BE 1.7 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY. SO IT'S EQUIVALENT TO IT'S LARGER THAN WHAT WE'RE GETTING RIGHT NOW WITH OUR. SO IT IS SIGNIFICANT, AS MIKE SAYS, A LITTLE MORE THEORETICAL.

THERE'S ALSO A SIDE BENEFIT. AND THEN WE'LL KIND OF CLOSE THIS OUT. BUT THERE'S ALSO A SIDE BENEFIT WHILE WE'RE DRILLING THESE TEST WELLS, IF WE FIND SOMETHING THAT IS VALUABLE TO THE CITY, WE MAY HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER WELL ABLE TO PRODUCE MORE WATER. SO WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT ALSO ■AS A SIDE BENEFIT TO THIS PROJECT. SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW WITH ANY EXTRA WATER THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE A DAY THAT YOU DIDN'T USE MUCH OF IT? WE'RE GOING TO BE USING PRETTY MUCH ALL WE CAN TAKE, RIGHT? SO THERE IS THERE IS NO EXTRA GETTING RIGHT INTO THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER. I MEAN, WE'RE HERE AND WE HAD OUR WATER TEAM MEETING JUST YESTERDAY WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. AND SO WATER WATER CONSUMPTION IS GOING

[02:30:03]

WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 2, SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILOR, SECONDED BY COUNCILOR HARRIS THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM 23. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? THANK YOU FOR THE FOR THE ANSWERS. I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS LATER. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED.

[24) Consider approval of Work Authorization No. 2 to K Friese + Associates, LLC in an amount of $3,842,536.08 for program management services for the 2022 Road Bond Program for a new total contract amount of $9,797,223.19.]

AND SO WE'RE HERE TO CONSIDER WORK AUTHORIZATION TO FOR K FREEZE. AND THIS WOULD ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE THEIR WORK ON THE 22 BOND PROGRAM. AND SO JUST A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS. WE ARE RIGHT NOW KIND OF IN THE IN THE LARGEST EFFORT TO GET A LOT OF OUR PROJECTS OVER TO BID AND CONSTRUCTION. SO YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS SLIDE, YOU SEE OUR GOAL THIS YEAR. AND WE'RE HEADED THIS WAY ON SEVERAL PROJECTS, IS TO GET TO 100% DESIGN AND THEN START TO GET PROJECTS OUT TO BID. AND SO THE BEST STRATEGY WE HAVE FOR CONTAINING COSTS AND GETTING THE BEST VALUE OUT OF THESE PROJECTS IS TO GET OUT TO THE BID TO BID AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AND I WILL TELL YOU, JUST LOOKING AT OUR RECENT BIDS FOR THE PROJECT, WE CONTINUE TO BE IN A VERY FAVORABLE BIDDING ENVIRONMENT. AND SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE ANTICIPATE BRINGING THAT BID FOR AWARD BACK TO YOU ON JUNE 17TH. ALSO, WE ANTICIPATE OPENING MARKETPLACE AND HAVING THAT RIBBON CUTTING IN LATE JULY AND ALSO HAVING THE GROUNDBREAKING FOR COLORS AND BE IN IN JUNE IN JULY AS WELL. AND THEN AS I MENTIONED, BY THE TIME WE ARE WRAPPING UP 2025, WE WILL HAVE ALL OF OUR NON NON TXDOT PROJECTS, ANYTHING THAT'S OFF SYSTEM, WHICH IS THE BULK OF OUR PROGRAM, WILL BE REACHING 100% DESIGN, AND THEN WE'LL BE GETTING A LOT OF THOSE PROJECTS OUT TO BID. SO BY THE TIME WE HIT THE BEGINNING OF 2026, THAT'S OUR YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION.

AS I MENTIONED TO YOU PREVIOUSLY IN ONE OF MY EARLIER BRIEFINGS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE BULK OF THIS PROGRAM, ABOUT $185 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS OUT TO CONSTRUCTION. SO A LOT OF WORK HAPPENING. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE SEQUENCING OF THOSE PROJECTS, BUT THIS REALLY IS THE BIG PUSH. AND THAT REALLY IS THE BASIS FOR THIS WORK AUTHORIZATION. THE LAST WORK AUTHORIZATION IS EXPIRING FOR K FREEZE. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL WELL POSITIONED TO, TO MAKE THIS BIG PUSH TO GET ALL THESE PROJECTS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE AND GET ALL THESE PROJECTS OUT TO BID. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO RICK KLATT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF THE WORK AUTHORIZATION. THANKS, MIKE.

MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, PLEASED TO BE HERE TO PRESENT OUR WORK AUTHORIZATION NUMBER TWO, CONTINUATION OF THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT. SO A LITTLE BIT OF UPDATE HERE. JUST FROM A PROGRAM MANAGEMENT APPROACH. I THINK THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE TO GIVE YOU ALL AN UPDATE, WE TALKED ABOUT THESE CHANGES THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTING. AND THIS IS JUST A QUICK SUMMARY OF SOME OF THOSE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED. FOR INSTANCE, WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THE, I GUESS, THE ROAD BOND EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM. IT'S CONSISTS OF MIKE TRIMBLE, LOSANG MYSELF AND HARPER MINOR. WE GET TOGETHER ON A WEEKLY BASIS TO DISCUSS ALL THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS AND, AND WHATNOT ON THE PROJECT. SO THE OTHER THING IS WE'VE CITY HAS CONTRACTED WITH THE ESTES GROUP TO ASSIST WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF THE ON SYSTEM TXDOT PROJECTS.

WE'VE ALSO REVIEWED THE SCOPE OF WORK SERVICES TO IDENTIFY THE NECESSARY SERVICES TO SUCCESSFULLY DELIVER THE PROGRAM. UNDER THIS WORK AUTHORIZATION. TWO AND THEN PUBLIC OUTREACH, WE'VE STREAMLINED THE REPORTING STRUCTURE SUCH THAT THE COMMUNICATION TEAM REPORTS DIRECTLY TO THE CITY. JUST KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE OF THE FEE OF THE 3 MILLION, $3.8 MILLION, ABOUT $820,000 OF THAT IS FOR THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT DIRECTLY.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT, GOING THROUGH SOME OF THESE OTHER COSTS, PSA OVERSIGHT IS ABOUT 731,000, CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT 126,000. YOU KNOW, THAT NUMBER IS GOING TO GO UP SIGNIFICANTLY

[02:35:07]

AND THEN WE'RE WE'RE PROVIDING THAT ON A MONTHLY BASIS, THE INVOICES TO THE CITY. SO A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WORK JUST FOR, FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON THOSE KIND OF THE NEXT SLIDE HERE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, TAKES YOU THROUGH KIND OF WHERE WE ARE FROM A SPENDING PATTERN. YOU CAN SEE TO THE LEFT OF THE OF THE TAN AREA IS WHERE WE'VE BEEN. YOU KNOW, THAT TAN AREA KIND OF REPRESENTS WORK AUTHORIZATION TO SO FROM A FROM AN OVERALL GSE BUDGET AND SPENDING CURVE. WE'RE RIGHT IN THE BULK. WE'RE AT IN THAT SWEET SPOT WHERE WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS ONGOING. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT FINISHING UP DESIGN, AS I MENTIONED, RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION UTILITY COORDINATION AND THEN GETTING THESE THESE PROJECTS OUT TO CONSTRUCTION. SO ONCE WE'VE PRETTY MUCH GOTTEN TO THE END OF THIS 2025, THEN WE'LL SEE A SUBSTANTIAL DROP OFF FROM THERE ONCE WE GET JUST PURELY INTO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE. AND WE DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING OVERLAPPING AT ONCE. SO. A LITTLE QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE TEAM. AS YOU ALL KNOW, CFA'S THE LEAD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT, AND THEN LOCKNER IS PROVIDING PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES SUPPORT, FRONTLINE ADVISORY GROUP TERRACON ENVIRONMENTAL AND GEOTECHNICAL REVIEW GAP STRATEGIES IS HELPING OUT WITH THE COMMUNICATION OUTREACH EVENTS. AMERICAN STRUCTURE POINT IS THERE FOR KIND OF A ROUNDABOUT AND COMPLETE STREETS. VIEW EXPERT. ATKINS IS THE ONE HEADING UP THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION PROCESS AND OVERSIGHT AND THEN UTILITY COORDINATION SUPPORT. AND THEN ROBERT KISTNER IS PROVIDING CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING. SO FOR INSTANCE, ON THE MARKETPLACE PROJECT, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE DOING THE MATERIALS TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE. AND THEN HICKS AND COMPANY IS A FIRM WE BROUGHT IN HERE RECENTLY TO DO THE TREE STUDY. SO. SO JUST KIND OF A QUICK LITTLE KIND OF UPDATE ON GC SERVICES. SO PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED WORK AUTHORIZATIONS TOTALED A LITTLE OVER 5.9 MILLION. WORK AUTHORIZATION TWO IS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 3.8. AND THEN A TOTAL WORK AUTHORIZATION TO DATE WOULD EQUAL 9,000,797 $223.19. SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO MIKE. SO AS RICK WAS MENTIONING, WE PUT A LOT OF THINGS IN PLACE TO TRY TO HAVE BETTER MANAGEMENT OF THIS PROGRAM, MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A GOOD ACCELERATED DELIVERY AND WE'RE SET UP FOR SUCCESS. AND SO I'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THESE BRIEFLY, BUT I'LL MENTION A FEW OF THEM. AGAIN, WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANY ACCELERATION OPPORTUNITIES RIGHT NOW ON PROJECTS. AND SO WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN HOLDING COST CONTAINMENT AND ACCELERATION WORKSHOPS ON EVERY PROJECT WITH OUR DESIGN TEAMS AND WITH OUR GSE TEAMS THAT ARE WORKING ON THOSE PROJECTS TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY OPPORTUNITIES TO REVISIT ANY DECISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE DECISIONS ARE AND IF NOT, IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THOSE, AND THEN ALSO THEN, YOU KNOW, BE BETTER POSITIONED TO DELIVER PROJECTS. AND I WILL SAY WE'VE ALREADY FOUND SOME OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES IN SOME OF THESE WORKSHOPS. FOR EXAMPLE, FOR ONE OF THE WORKSHOPS, WE HAD A CERTAIN EASEMENT THAT WAS A CERTAIN SIZE. AND AFTER WE LOOKED AT IT AGAIN, WE REALIZED WE DIDN'T REALLY NEED THAT MUCH SPACE. AND SO WE WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT A MUCH SMALLER EASEMENT THAT NEEDED. AND SO THAT'S GOING TO SAVE US TIME ON GETTING THAT EASEMENT AND

[02:40:02]

COUNCILMEMBER. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY GREAT JOB, MIKE. I CAN SEE THE TIMELINES CHANGING. I CAN SEE THE PROJECTS GOING TO THE SCHEDULE THAT WE IMAGINED THE CITY WHEN WE FIRST PASSED OUR ROAD BONDS. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THIS, TO SEE MARKETPLACE WHERE IT'S AT WITH GUTTERS AND BASE DOWN, GETTING CLOSE TO OIL, THAT'S REALLY EXCITING. BUT REALLY TO SEE ALL THESE OTHER PROJECTS GETTING SO CLOSE IS AMAZING. I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY, EVERYONE THAT'S BEEN INVOLVED. THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING, THE EXTRA TIME DOING THE WORKSHOPS.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS TRULY SHOWING OFF. HARPER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AS WELL. I THINK IT'S REALLY AMAZING TO SEE THE SPEED OF THIS NOW GOING FORWARD AND WHERE THE SAVINGS ARE COMING UP AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE OPTION 24 FOR OPTION ONE.

SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM. DO WE APPROVE OPTION ONE, AGENDA ITEM 24. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION, COUNCILOR ZUNIGA YEAH, JUST TWO QUICK QUESTIONS AND THANKS AGAIN. MIKE. I DO SEE THE URGENCY NOW. THE SAVINGS ARE GREAT TO HEAR. YOU KNOW, A WHILE BACK, WE WERE WE KNEW THAT THE BEBE BUNTON AND LEHMAN WERE GOING TO BE SLOW BECAUSE OF SO MANY RIGHT OF WAYS AND EASEMENTS. BUT I HEAR MORE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THEM AND THAT WE'RE GETTING, GETTING, GETTING THEM OUT THERE. I DO WANT TO ASK IS THE K FREEZE AND ASSOCIATES THIS THE LAST SERVICE WITH THEM THAT'S BEING AUTHORIZED HERE? I, I DON'T KNOW I DON'T BELIEVE SO. THIS IS GOING TO BE A WORK AUTHORIZATION THAT WILL JUST CARRY US THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR. THIS IS JUST TO CARRY US THROUGH THE BIG PUSH THROUGH THE END OF 2025. SO I ANTICIPATE COMING BACK WITH ANOTHER WORK AUTHORIZATION. BUT AGAIN, I ANTICIPATE THAT WILL CONSIDER THE FACT THAT WE'RE MOVING PAST DESIGN FOR A LOT OF OUR PROJECTS. AND AS RICK WAS MENTIONING, INTO CONSTRUCTION PHASE. SO WE SHOWED I'LL JUST BACK UP A LITTLE BIT. WE SHOWED THIS SLIDE RIGHT. THIS IS SO THIS IS OUR OUR MONTHLY SPEND BASICALLY. AND SO YOU CAN SEE AS WE STARTED RAMPING UP ON THE PROGRAM AS WE GOT THOSE EARLIER MONTHS, YOU KNOW, IN 23 AND 24. THEN YOU SEE US START TO RAMP UP AS WE'RE GETTING INTO 24. AND THEN WE'RE RIGHT THERE KIND OF AT THE AT THE TOP OF THE HILL, SO TO SPEAK. AS FAR AS OUR MONTHLY SPEND RIGHT NOW WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT FOLKS THAT ARE WORKING ON THE PROJECTS, ALL THE UTILITIES, ALL THE RIGHT OF WAY, ALL THE DESIGN WORK THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, WE'RE AT A BURN RATE OF ABOUT 500,000, I BELIEVE, PER MONTH, BUT THAT WILL SLOW DOWN ONCE WE GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS. SO MY APPROACH TO RECOMMEND TO YOU WAS, LET'S GET THROUGH THIS BIG PUSH AND THEN LET'S SEE WHAT TYPE OF RESOURCES WE NEED GOING FORWARD. I WANT TO BE, YOU KNOW, JUDICIOUS WITH WITH OUR SPENDING ON THIS AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THAT REVIEW ONCE WE GET PAST THIS BIG PUSH. AND SO THAT'S WHAT I'LL BRING BACK IS GOING TO BE THAT WORK AUTHORIZATION, CONSIDERING WE'RE GETTING PAST A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS AND GETTING INTO CONSTRUCTION PHASE. YEAH. SO I GUESS, BRIAN, I GUESS WHEN WE BROUGHT THIS IN HOUSE, IT WAS TO GET FASTER ON THE PROJECTS. AND I HAD THOUGHT AT THAT TIME THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE GOING TO SEVER WITH K FREEZE, BUT WE STILL HAVE THEM. WE'RE PHASING DOWN TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR. YEAH. WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES IN-HOUSE TO DO ALL THIS WORK. BRINGING IN MIKE HAS BEEN A BIG PART OF OUR APPROACH ON THIS. TO HAVE A HANDS ON MANAGEMENT ON THIS ON A DAILY BASIS, HAVING RICK COME ON TO THE TEAM, HE TRANSITIONED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I'VE ACTUALLY FORGOTTEN THE DATE NOW AS I'M THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT WE'VE ALSO HAVE LOU ON OUR TEAM AS WELL, WHO'S HEADING UP CAPITAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT, ALL OF US WORKING IN CONCERT TO GET PROJECTS MOVING IN. SPEED. SPEED IS WHAT SAVES US MONEY EVERY MONTH AS A HALF, A PERCENT TO A PERCENT THAT WE'RE ADDING TO THE COST IF WE'RE NOT DELIVERING THAT PROJECT. SO WE'VE WE'VE CERTAINLY CHANGED QUITE A FEW THINGS IN THE CONTRACT, AND WE'VE MADE LOTS OF MEANINGFUL CHANGES TO THE TEAM TO TRY TO MANAGE THE PROJECTS DIFFERENTLY. BUT WE DO NEED THAT HELP TO GET US OVER. THE GOAL LINE IS IN

[02:45:03]

YEAH, I'LL MAKE THIS QUICK. THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY. AND I'LL JUST SHARE REALLY QUICKLY. I THINK IT WAS LIKE A YEAR AGO. I MEAN, MICHAEL AND I HAVE A PERFECT LINE DOWN THE DAIS AT EACH OTHER, AND I VIVIDLY REMEMBER MULTIPLE TIMES LOOKING AT TIMELINES WHERE SOME OF THE ROADS, MOSTLY IN HIS DISTRICT, WERE OVER A YEAR TO A YEAR AND A HALF BEHIND AND MAYBE EVEN LONGER INTO 2027. AND SEEING THIS AND THE GETTING EVERYTHING BACK ON TRACK. AND NOW WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND WE'RE LIKE, THE LOOKS OF ASTONISHMENT ARE THAT WE'RE ALMOST ON SCHEDULE AT THIS POINT. IT'S VERY EXCITING AND IT'S BETTER FOR THE UNVEILING OF ALL THESE ROADS AND MARKETPLACE COMING PRETTY SOON. SO THANK YOU GUYS. AND THAT'S CREDIT TO THE TEAM YOU ESTABLISHED AND WHAT THE MAYOR WAS SAYING EARLIER ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PUTTING THE RIGHT TEAM TOGETHER AND WHAT THE SAVINGS ARE AND WHAT THE BENEFITS ARE FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT'S REALLY AMAZING AND IT'S IMPACTFUL AND YOU'RE SEEING IT IN REAL LIFE. SO PLAY OUT. SO YEAH. SO IF I COULD JUST KIND OF COUNTER THAT WHEN WE FIRST A LOT OF Y'ALL WEREN'T HERE WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BRINGING THIS ROAD BOND. AND I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE MAKING THE VOTE ON SPECIFIC ROADS WE WANTED TO DO. AND I REMEMBER WHEN MAYOR RECOMMENDED WE DO A MARKETPLACE AVENUE, I WAS KIND OF A LITTLE HAD A LITTLE ANIMOSITY BECAUSE, AGAIN, I'M TRYING TO PUSH FOR THE MAJORITY OF EAST OF KYLE TO GET ALL OF THOSE ROADS DONE. BUT NOW WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT, WE'RE AT A RIBBON CUTTING. IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, WE SEE THE AMOUNT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING THROUGH. IT'S ALMOST DONE THAT I CAN ACTUALLY SAY, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A GOOD MOVE BECAUSE THAT NEEDED TO BE THERE TO GET THE CROSS TRAFFIC FROM COLORS ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. BACK TO WHERE ALL THAT H-E-B IS AND TO BEAR'S POINT OR MAYOR PRO TEM POINT.

YES, WE WERE I WAS GETTING VERY, VERY FRUSTRATED, VERY NERVOUS. WE HAD PEOPLE IN THE RESIDENTS IN MY AREA SAYING, YOU GUYS PROMISED US NEW ROADS. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG? I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS. AND BRIAN'S BEEN TO A MEETING WITH ME WITH THE HOA OVER THERE, AND THEY'RE QUESTIONING LEFT AND RIGHT. HOW WIDE IS BUNTING GOING TO BE? WE HAD NO IDEA WHEN WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO START EVEN DISCUSSING IT. SO SEEING THESE MOVE FORWARD IN YOUR TEAM, IT'S EXCITING, I THINK TO ME, WHEN I SEE THAT THAT'S CALLED HALF TIME, WE'RE IN HALF TIME RIGHT NOW OF THE BIG GAME, AND THEN WE'RE ABOUT READY TO START HITTING CONSTRUCTION. AND THAT'S WHERE IT'S ALL GOING TO BE ON. THE ENTIRE CITY IS GOING TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, WHICH IS GOING TO BE VERY EXCITING. SO AGAIN, WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE ALSO REVISITING SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE EASEMENTS AND SAYING, HEY, WE DON'T REALLY NEED TO GO THAT FAR IN. WE CAN CUT COSTS ON THIS AND MAYBE SAVE US 1 MILLION OR 200,000 AND SO FORTH, STILL $200,000 OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU GUYS ARE FINDING IS STILL A SAVINGS. SO I APPRECIATE ALL WHAT YOU'RE DOING. AND I REFLECT EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY'S HERE. WE'RE VERY WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW AT THE PEAK TO WHERE WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT GETTING GETTING UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL Y'ALL. ALL RIGHT.

ANYTHING ELSE? COUNCIL MEMBER MCKINNEY, YOU'VE BEEN TALKING A LOT THIS MEETING, BUT DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS. MY EXPECTATION IS IT'S GOING TO MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY. WE'VE HAD ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW OF TALK ABOUT IT. I'M READY TO COMPETE ABOUT IT. SO GREAT JOB GUYS. LOVE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU SEE IN THE WORLD. ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 T
