CARRIES 7 TO 0. NEXT UP IS CITIZEN COMMENTS. PERIOD. AT THIS TIME, WE ASK ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK ON ANY ITEM TO PLEASE DO SO. WE ASK THAT YOU LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES AND THAT YOU DIRECT THOSE COMMENTS TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WE ALSO ASK THAT YOU FILL OUT A CITIZEN COMMENTS FORM AND SUBMIT THAT TO EITHER MYSELF OR THE CITY SECRETARY. I HAVE SEVERAL FOLKS REGISTERED TO SPEAK. FIRST UP IS HILLARY BURRIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. THIS DIDN'T SOUND LIKE IT. OKAY, THERE WE GO. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF. MY NAME IS HILLARY BURRIS, AND I'M A CONCERNED AND ENGAGED MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU TONIGHT REGARDING THE SITE PLAN BEING PRESENTED FOR PHASE TWO OF THE PROPOSED CAL ANIMAL SHELTER. AS A RESIDENT OF KYLE AND A LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER WHO DEEPLY VALUES BOTH RESPONSIBLE ANIMAL WELFARE AND THOUGHTFUL CIVIC PLANNING, I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS I HOPE THE COUNCIL AND STAFF WILL ADDRESS AS THIS PROJECT MOVES FORWARD. FIRST, ARE THERE CURRENTLY ALLOCATED FUNDS NOT ONLY FOR THE LAND AND CONSTRUCTION, BUT ALSO FOR DESIGN, STAFFING AND IMPORTANTLY, ONGOING PROGRAMING? I NOTICED THAT PROGRAMING WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL EXPENSE OUTLINE WITHIN THE PROPOSAL BEING PRESENTED THIS EVENING. WITHOUT DESIGNATED FUNDING, I WORRY ABOUT THE SHELTER'S LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ITS SERVICES. CAN THE COMMUNITY BE PROVIDED WITH CLARITY ON WHAT KINDS OF PROGRAMS ARE BEING PLANNED? SPECIFICALLY, WILL THERE BE RESOURCES DEDICATED TO KEEPING FAMILIES AND PETS TOGETHER, SUCH AS PET RETENTION, SUPPORT FOR RESIDENTS FACING TEMPORARY HARDSHIPS? ADDITIONALLY, WILL MOBILE SPAY AND NEUTER SERVICES BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE SHELTER'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS? FINALLY, I'D LIKE TO ASK WHETHER THE CITY PLANS TO ACCEPT ANIMAL INTAKES FROM ALL OF HAYS COUNTY, INCLUDING AREAS OUTSIDE OF KYLE CITY LIMITS. AS THE POPULATION CONTINUES TO GROW ACROSS OUR REGION, THAT QUESTION BECOMES INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT IN SHAPING THE SHELTER'S CAPACITY AND MISSION. TO CONCLUDE MY COMMENT, I'D LIKE TO ALSO PROVIDE A GENERAL UPDATE ON THE SHELTER OF SAN MARCUS WEEKLY STATISTICS FOR THE PERIOD OF JUNE 9TH THROUGH JUNE 15TH. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 206 CATS IN THE SHELTER, 77 CATS AND FOSTER, 22 CATS THAT WERE ADOPTED FOR DOGS. THERE ARE 157 DOGS IN THE SHELTER, 27 DOGS IN FOSTER, AND 19 DOGS THAT WERE ADOPTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT UP IS VALERIE. DIO. VALERIE DIO AND MY UNCLE HOWARD. WE'RE GOING TO COMBINE OUR TOGETHER BECAUSE I NEED TO HELP HIM. SO WE'RE TWO PEOPLE, BUT HE'S SPEAKING ON HIS BEHALF, AND I'M HELPING HIM AS WELL. OKAY. OKAY. MY NAME IS HOWARD GREEN. I LIVE ON 2041 CYPRESS ROAD. EVER SINCE 1985, DECEMBER THE 16TH. THEY TRIED TO PUT IN AN INDOOR MAIN THROUGH THERE ACROSS MY YARD. I NEVER 
          [00:05:02]
WAS AGAINST IT, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THEY NEVER DID GET IT STRAIGHT ABOUT THE SIZE AND THE WIDTH OF THE SURVEY. THE ENGINEER PUT THE WRONG SURVEY IN AND THEY DIDN'T CORRECT IT. 
          WE'VE BEEN WAITING ON HIM TO COME AND CHANGE IT OUT TO GET IT RIGHT, SO WE CAN GO FARTHER WITH THE MAIN. AND THAT WAS AGAINST IT JUST NEVER WAS CLEARED OF MY DEEDS AND MY TITLE, MY PROPERTY. 
          SO I'M GOING TO HELP MY UNCLE. HE HAS RIGHT NOW HE'S LEGALLY BLIND WITH GLAUCOMA AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT THREATS FROM THE DOMAIN. HE'S BEEN IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM HAVING A BELL'S PALSY ATTACK, AND IT'S HARD FOR HIM TO SPEAK, SO I'M GONNA HAVE HIM SIT DOWN. IS THAT OKAY? YES. 
          HOWARD, GO BACK RIGHT THERE. AND I GOT INVOLVED BECAUSE BASICALLY, THE TEAM OF THE ACQUISITION TEAM HAD THEIR PERSON, MARIA BELTRAN, CALLING PEOPLE, HARASSING THEM. I THOUGHT SHE CANNOT BE A BROKER. SHE'S DOING THIS KIND OF WORK. I FOUND OUT MY AUNT WAS DYING IN HOSPICE, AND SHE CALLED ME TO COME HELP HOWARD BECAUSE SHE WAS FEELING HE WAS GOING TO LOSE HIS PROPERTY. SO I PROMISED TO HELP HIM. SO I GOT INVOLVED. AND WHAT I'VE SEEN IS JUST NOTHING BUT INCONSISTENCIES, LACK OF DISCLOSURE, A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT'S NOT GIVEN TO THE RESIDENTS BEING TREATED DIFFERENTLY. I WOULD SAY OUT OF ALL OF THE 6 OR 7 PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THIS, THIS SITUATION ARE MORE THAN THAT. HOWARD IS THE ONLY ONE THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO A MOTION TO CONDEMN HIS PROPERTY TO MOVE FORWARD. A LOT OF THINGS WERE DONE INCORRECTLY. I ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR THEM TO BE IGNORED. SO I'M GOING TO BRIEFLY TRY TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM. 
          MY INITIAL SITE WAS BECAUSE THAT PROPERTY IS TIED TO EZEKIEL NANCE. YOU HAVE A NANCE PROPERTY HAPPENING UP THERE BY BLANCO. AND THAT IS DESCENDANT SLAVE SETTLEMENT PROPERTY. I SAID IS THERE A CHANCE THAT THIS IS HISTORICAL BECAUSE EZEKIEL HAD BROUGHT 39 SLAVES HERE. MY GRANDMOTHER EZEKIEL NANCE IS MY GRANDFATHER'S FATHER. HE'S MY GREAT GRANDFATHER. ALL THE DOCUMENTS YOU SEE ON THAT DEED, IT SHOWS NANCE DANCE, DANCE. WHY ARE THOSE KIDS NAMED AFTER THE NANCE'S? CARRIE NANCE EDWARD EDWARD NANCE THOMAS JUNIOR'S NANCE CEOLA NANCE WAS MY GRANDMOTHER. SO THAT'S ALL THIS TIES. IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO DEEP INTO HISTORY WHO OWNS PROPERTY LOOK ALL THE WAY INTO IT. SO I ASKED ABOUT THAT. NOTHING CAME BACK. IT MIGHT BE SOME KIND OF GUIDELINES THAT ALLOWS IT TO BE CERTAIN TAX TAX CREDITS OR SOMETHING THAT KEEPS IT HISTORICAL. ALL THE DIFFERENT EZEKIEL NANCE PROPERTIES OR HAS A MONIKER NOW THEY'RE HISTORICAL. HE WAS AN AMAZING MAN. I READ ABOUT HIM. HE WAS JUST INCREDIBLE WHAT HE WENT THROUGH AS BEING AN ORPHAN CHILD LOST HIS MOTHER TWO YEARS OLD. WHAT HE ACCOMPLISHED HERE IN HAYS AND BLANCO IS INCREDIBLE. BUT IN THIS PROCESS, WE'VE SEEN THAT. HOWARD, I SAID FROM THE BEGINNING, MY UNCLE CANNOT SEE. HE CANNOT DRIVE. PLEASE SEND EVERYTHING CERTIFIED TO HIM AND HIS TO HIS HOUSE. ONLY IF HE CAME TO HIM WAS ALL THE DIFFERENT OFFERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT IT ALSO WAS A WRONG SURVEY. WE SAID FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, THERE'S A SHORTAGE ON THE SURVEY. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS. I HAVE EMAILS TO VERIFY THAT. IT WAS ONLY UNTIL LAST WEEK THAT I CONTACTED THE ENGINEERING COMPANY, AND I WENT ON GOOGLE EARTH TO MEASURE IT. IT WAS INCORRECT. SO IF I GET THREE MORE MINUTES BECAUSE I'M THE SECOND PERSON OF HIM, YES, PLEASE. SO I CAN FINISH AND IT SHOULD BE THREE. SO MR. GRAHAM PARKER SAID YES. I CONFIRMED THAT HE SENT THAT INFORMATION TO THE CITY OF KYLE, AND NO ONE CONFIRMED TO HOWARD'S ATTORNEY THAT THE SURVEYS INCORRECT. WE NEED TO CORRECT THAT. WE NEED TO STOP THIS MOTION UNTIL ALL THAT'S CORRECT, SO YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD FAITH OFFER FOR HIM THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE THROUGH THE COMPLEXITIES OF ALL THESE DIFFERENT KIND OF THINGS. HOWARD'S ATTORNEY HAS STEPPED DOWN, SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING SOMEONE ELSE. BUT I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF VIOLATIONS WERE WERE WERE NOT HANDLED CORRECTLY. SO I DO HOPE SOMEBODY ON THE COUNCIL REACH OUT TO ME TO GET MORE INFORMATION. TEXAS PROPERTY CODE FOR YOU TO MAKE A BONAFIDE OFFER BASED ON MARKET VALUE, TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS, ACCURATE VALUATION AND TRANSPARENCY AND CONDEMNATION PROCESSES. AMERICAN DISABILITY CODE TO PROVIDE ACCOMMODATION FOR SOMEONE WITH DISABILITIES. HE CANNOT READ THESE PAPERS. HE HAS NO WAY OF GETTING DOWN HERE SINCE HIS FIRST TIME COMING DOWN HERE TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HIS PROPERTY. HE'S NEVER ONCE SAID, I DON'T WANT MY PROPERTY TAKEN. HE JUST SAID, WHY CAN'T YOU GO ACROSS THE STREET? THERE'S NO HOUSES THERE, THERE'S NO POWER LINES. AND, WELL, THIS IS BETTER FOR US RIGHT HERE. WE LIKE THIS ONE. 
          AND HE ASKED ALSO IN A MEETING, WHAT ABOUT THE CONTAMINATION OF THE WATER? WHAT ABOUT THE WATER TABLE, THE BLUE WATER, THE BLUE HOLE, THE CYPRESS RIVER, THE BLANCO RIVER, THE SPRING CREEK RIVER RUNS THROUGH HERE? WELL, I NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY. I GO ONLINE AND THERE'S A UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AND UNIVERSITY OF SAN MARCOS. SOUTHWEST TEXAS STATE DID A SURVEY. BLANCO RIVER BLANCO PEOPLE FOUGHT THIS BECAUSE THEY WANTED CLEAN WATER ACT. THEY GOT SUPPORT FOR IT AND THEY SAW SOME CONTAMINATION. IT'S POSSIBILITY FOR THIS WATER WITH THE WATER WASTE. WHAT THEY DID WAS RESEARCH HOW TO CLEAN THE WATER UP AND USE IT. SO PLEASE LOOK INTO THAT. TWO OTHER THING IS THAT WE HAVE PROPERTY HERE IN KYLE. WE HAVE PROPERTY OVER ON SLEDGE STREET, AND THE CITY TOOK THE LIBERTY TO PARK FIVE HEAVY, HEAVY EQUIPMENT PIECES. THEY'RE PUTTING IN SOME ROADS MAYBE FOR OPAL OR WHATEVER. SO I CALL THEM TO TAKE THE PROPERTY OFF, CREATE A LEASE. YOU'RE ON MY PROPERTY. IT'S NOT FOR FREE. YOU'RE HAVING A DOMAIN ON OUR PROPERTY, BUT YOU'RE NOT PAYING FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING. IT'S ILLEGAL. AND SO I HAVE THE VIOLATIONS FOR THAT THAT I PRESENTED TO THE YOUNG LADY. MY UNCLE IS 74 YEARS OLD, AND HE APPLIED FOR HOMESTEAD. HE WAS DENIED HIS HOMESTEAD BECAUSE HIS DRIVING LICENSE HE'S HAD WAS VALID AND STILL ACTIVE. DIDN'T MATCH HIS ADDRESS. BUT THE CITY HAS 
          [00:10:05]
CHANGED THE STREET THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. WHERE HE LIVES AT FARM ROAD, SOMETHING STAGECOACH AND NOW IT'S CYPRESS. SO HE WAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED AS A RESIDENT IN KYLE PAYING FOR OVER 40 YEAR TAXES. WHY CAN YOU NOT FIND HIM? SO I FEEL LIKE THE CITY SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS. GO BACK AND GIVE HIM RETRO MONEY FOR THE TAXES THAT HE'S BEEN DENIED, AND ALSO INVESTIGATE THE TRESPASSING ON OUR PROPERTIES AND MAKE THE MAKE MAKE IT RIGHT, HOWEVER, HAS DONE EVERYTHING HE CAN. WE'VE GOTTEN WE'VE BEEN TOLD THE WHOLE TIME EVERYONE IS SETTLED EXCEPT YOU. EVERYONE IS SETTLED EXCEPT YOU. YOU'RE OFFERING DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, WHICH MY COUSINS ARE NEXT DOOR. THEY'VE BEEN OFFERED. WHEN YOU PUT THE THIRD LINE IN, YOU'LL HAVE ACCESS TO CITY WATER. THEY'RE ON SEPTIC AND EVERYONE'S BEEN TOLD DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WASN'T OFFERED TO HOWARD. YOU HAVE TO TREAT EVERYBODY FAIRLY AND THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE WITH THE CITY. 
          WE'VE BEEN TOLD A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS WE ASKED FOR AND THEY SAID, WELL, NO, WE DON'T KNOW THAT QUESTION. AND IT'S JUST A SHAME THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED LIKE THAT HERE IN KYLE, TEXAS, OVER THEIR PROPERTY. THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING, BUT YOU GUYS ARE NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS BETTY CONLEY. GOOD EVENING I'M BETTY CONLEY I LIVE IN 87 EAGLE CREEK. I'M HERE IN KYLE, TEXAS. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE KYLE AREA SENIOR ZONE. I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVESTMENT AND SUPPORT WITH THE BUILDING THAT'S LOCATED ON 1500 DAISY LANE. IT REMAINS IT REMAINS A TOP PRIORITY WITH YOU ALL FOR THE SENIORS, DISABLED ADULTS AND THE COMMUNITY OF KYL. WORKING WITH THE EXPERTISE OF THE ARCHITECT, THE KYLE CITY PARKS AND REC AND OTHERS, WE WERE ABLE TO FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MEGA FLEX PLAN OPTION. I'M HOPEFUL NOW THAT THROUGH CONVERSATIONS THAT WE CAN AGREE THAT THE PLAN IS A WIN WIN FOR EVERYONE. AS IT IS, IT SUPPORTS BOTH NEEDS FOR THE SENIORS, THE DISABLED, THE COMMUNITY WITH SIX ROOMS FOR SENIOR PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY ACCESS FOR ROOMS WITH LARGER ROOMS FOR SPECIAL EVENTS. WHEN ROOMS ARE TOTALLY DIVIDED. WE ALSO HAVE SENT A LETTER FROM THE SENIORS TO REQUEST THE BUILDING BE NAMED THE ADELE HURST ACTIVITY CENTER. AFTER TAKING TIME TO TALK TO HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WE REALIZED THAT SHE WAS NOT ONLY THE FOUNDER OF CAS, BUT WAS ALSO INVOLVED HEAVILY WITH COMMUNITY ACTION AND SERVED AS THE BOARD OF THE FRIENDS OF THE KYLE LIBRARY. THEREFORE, WE REQUEST THAT THE NEW BUILDING BE NAMED THE ADELE HURST COMMUNITY CENTER. SO IT'S FOR EVERYBODY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP IS SANDY GONZALEZ. HELLO. GOOD EVENING. I'M GLAD TO SEE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 24. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE PLACE OR TIME TO ASK, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF YOU COULD MOVE THAT CLOSER TO THE BEGINNING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THIS COMPANY, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN MOVING THESE TYPES OF TREES AND RELOCATING THEM. AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW OR WHAT THEIR PLAN IS. I ALSO HOPE THAT EVERYONE HERE WILL LISTEN TO WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE GOING TO SAY ABOUT THEIR PROPOSAL AS FAR AS MOVING. SO SOIL PREPARATION, AFTER CARE, PRE CARE, PRETREATMENT OR YOU KNOW, WHATEVER NEEDS TO HAPPEN. APPROPRIATE WATERING SCHEDULE ONCE IT IS MOVED AND FERTILIZING, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IT TAKES TO HELP ESTABLISH THE SURVIVABILITY OF THAT TREE BECAUSE THE CITY IS PUTTING A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT I RECOGNIZE THAT. AND ALSO REALLY MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHEN ARE THE WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO MOVE THE TREE? BECAUSE TEXAS SUMMER IS REALLY THE WORST TIME TO MOVE IT. THE TREE IS NOT DORMANT, IT'S STILL GROWING, BUT REALLY THE BEST TIME TO MOVE ANY BIG PLANT OR REALLY ANY PLANT, BUT ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE WHEN IT'S DORMANT. AND SO THAT WOULD BE FOR US LATE FALL, EARLY SPRING. WE DON'T EXPERIENCE GROUND FREEZING HERE, SO THAT WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. BUT MOVING IT IN JULY OR AUGUST I THINK WOULD BE A PROBLEM. I'VE DONE IT BEFORE WITH A SMALL TREE AND IT REQUIRED SO MUCH CARE BECAUSE OF THE TOUGH WEATHER THAT WE EXPERIENCE HERE. I THINK THAT'S THAT'S IT. SO YES, IF YOU CAN MOVE IT JUST BUT IF YOU DON'T, I UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU. I'LL STILL HEAR. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS KATE JOHNSON. I AM HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF A REMARKABLE AND IRREPLACEABLE PIECE OF OUR COMMUNITY'S HISTORY. THE BEARING OAK, LOCATED DIRECTLY IN THE 
          [00:15:06]
PATH OF THE PROPOSED REALIGNMENT OF OLD NORTH OLD STAGECOACH ROAD. THIS IS NOT SIMPLY A TREE. 
          IT IS A LIVING LANDMARK, RECORDED AS AS EARLY AS 1871, THAT PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN EARLY LAND SURVEYS, HELPING TO DEFINE THE BOUNDARIES OF PROPERTIES IN WHAT WOULD LATER BECOME THE CITY OF KYLE. THE BEARING OAK STANDS TODAY IN THE FRONT YARD OF ALTON FRANCHI, WHOSE FAMILY HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO MARK THE TREE WITH A YELLOW RIBBON, A QUIET BUT POWERFUL SYMBOL OF ITS IMPORTANCE. JUST 65FT TO THE WEST OF THIS OAK SITS A STONE MOUND PLACED THERE IN 1871 AS A SURVEYOR'S MARKER. ALONG WITH THE TREE, IT FORMED A CRITICAL REFERENCE POINT IN EARLY LAND SURVEYS. USE. LONG BEFORE GPS OR MODERN MAPPING SYSTEMS, THESE LANDMARKS WERE RECORDED IN METES AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTIONS. THE DETAILED LEGAL LANGUAGE USED IN DEEDS TO DEFINE PROPERTY BOUNDARIES. IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN AN OLD DEED, YOU MIGHT NOTICE PHRASING LIKE BEGINNING AT THE BEARING OAK, 65FT EAST OF THE STONE MOUND. THESE WEREN'T JUST DESCRIPTIVE TOUCHES. THEY WERE LEGALLY BINDING MARKERS USED TO SETTLE PROPERTY BOUNDARIES, AVOID DISPUTES, AND ENSURE LAND OWNERSHIP WAS CLEARLY DEFINED. IN THIS WAY. THE BEARING OAK IS MORE THAN A NATURAL FEATURE. IT IS PART OF THE LEGAL DNA OF THIS COMMUNITY. THIS TREE HAS STOOD WITNESS TO OVER 150 YEARS OF GROWTH AND CHANGE. ONCE 18IN IN CIRCUMFERENCE, IT IS NOW GROWN TO 23IN. THAT STEADY GROWTH MIRRORS OUR CITY'S STORY ROOTED, RESILIENT AND EXPANDING. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR I SUPPORT KYLE'S NEED FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT. BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT PROGRESS AND PRESERVATION CAN AND SHOULD COEXIST. OTHER CITIES HAVE FOUND CREATIVE WAYS TO INCORPORATE HERITAGE TREES INTO MODERN DESIGNS. A SMALL ADJUSTMENT TO THE ROAD ALIGNMENT COULD ALLOW THIS TREE TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT WHAT IT'S DONE FOR GENERATIONS CONNECT US TO THE LAND AND TO ONE ANOTHER. TO CUT DOWN THIS OAK WOULD BE A WOULD BE TO ERASE A DIRECT LINK TO THE ORIGINS OF OUR COMMUNITY. A CHAPTER OF KYLE'S HISTORY THAT STILL STANDING, ALIVE AND GROWING. LET US BE THE GENERATION THAT CHOOSES TO HONOR THAT PAST, NOT CLEAR IT AWAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THOSE ARE ALL THE FORMS THAT I HAVE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER FORMS SUBMITTED? I MUST HAVE WENT OVER YOU. I'M SORRY I GOT HIM OUT OF THERE, MR. CHAIR. SO. CYNTHIA BOULDING. I'M SORRY. I SOMEHOW WENT RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF IT. 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. THANK YOU FOR INVESTING IN THE SENIORS OF KYLE BY PURCHASING THE BEAUTIFUL FACILITY ON DAISY LANE TONIGHT. I ASK EACH ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE MEGA MAX FLEX FLOOR PLAN, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST DESIGN FOR THE CITY OF KYLE AND ITS SENIOR CITIZENS. IT PROVIDES THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. ONE AMAZING BALLROOM, WHICH ACCOMMODATES UP TO 300 PEOPLE AND TRACTABLE PARTITIONS, PROVIDING SIX SPACES ACCOMMODATING 50 PEOPLE EACH. 
          JUST THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES. MEETINGS, SMALL GROUP ACTIVITIES, COLLABORATIONS AND LUNCHES ALL HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE GRAND BALLROOM DESIGNED FOR AMAZING EVENTS, NOT ONLY TO BRING THE CITIZENS OF KYLE TOGETHER, BUT ALSO TO DRAW PEOPLE INTO OUR COMMUNITY. WITH ITS PREMIER LOCATION, IT WILL BE QUITE LITERALLY A BEACON ON A HILL, BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED WITH THE STATE OF THE ART SOUND SYSTEMS AND LIGHTING, SO THAT ALL CAN SEE AND HEAR HOW EXCITING! WITH THESE FLEXIBLE SPACES, WE WILL BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT EVEN MORE PROGRAMING THAT HAS BEEN ON HOLD FOR YEARS DUE TO LACK OF BREAKOUT SPACE FOR CONCURRENT PROGRAMS, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO INVOLVE EVEN MORE OF OUR WONDERFUL COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN HEALTHY, WORTHWHILE ACTIVITIES IS VITALLY IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US. AND 
          [00:20:05]
FINALLY, I WANT TO ADVOCATE FOR THE NAMING OF THE BUILDING AT 1500 DAISY LANE AS THE ADELE HIRST COMMUNITY CENTER. YOUR VOTE TONIGHT FOR THE MEGA MAX FLEX IS A VOTE FOR ALL OF US. WE ARE COUNTING ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. 
          I ALSO HAVE STEPHANIE MCDONALD. GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY COMMENTING ON THE ETHICS COMMISSION, THANKING YOU FOR EACH DECIDING TO ALLOW THE ETHICS COMMITTEE, COMMISSION TO HEAR ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND DECIDE THEIR VALIDITY. I APPRECIATE IT, I THINK IT WAS A GOOD DECISION AND I APPRECIATE IT. FOR ANYBODY THAT DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SITUATION. YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT IT IN THE HAYS FREE PRESS. JUNE THE 4TH CITY COUNCIL APPROVES LEGAL SUFFICIENCY CLAUSE, REQUIRES PRESENTATION TO THE ETHICS COMMISSION. IT ALSO MENTIONS THE COUNCIL ILLEGALLY REMOVING A CITIZEN FROM PUBLIC COMMENTS, WHICH I THINK IS VERY SAD. AND I HOPE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. WE'VE SEEN OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS VIOLATED HERE. TIME AND TIME AGAIN. WE'VE BEEN TOLD NO CLAPPING, COUNCIL CLAPS AND ALLOWS OTHERS TO CLAP AND WE'D LIKE TO SEE THAT STOP. IT'S A SERIOUS VIOLATION. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION IF THE COMMISSION RECEIVED THAT. YET ON THIS ETHICS QUESTION, IF YOU COULD MAKE IT PUBLIC. THE FOUR COMPLAINTS THAT THE ECO DISMISSED WITHOUT AUTHORITY NEED TO BE GIVEN TO THE COMMISSION TO REVIEW AND DECIDE THEIR MERITS. 
          AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO ASK THE COUNCIL ABOUT THE DECISION YOU MADE RECENTLY TO HAVE SARAH KERR BE THE ALTERNATE ECO. KRISTINA D'AMOURS WAS TO BE THE PRIMARY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THAT CHANGE HASN'T BEEN MADE YE, AND TO PLEASE CHANGE IT ASAP AND ASK HER TO KRISTINA TO REVIEW THE TEN PAGES OF RULES FOR ETHICS HEARINGS AND GIVE HER OPINION ON THOSE. THANK YOU. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE SENIOR OR COMMUNITY CENTER. I HAD ASKED YOU TO CONSIDER THE VALUABLE INPUT THAT BETTY CONNELLY AND CINDY BOLDING AND OTHERS AT CASS HAVE GIVEN YOU REGARDING THE FUTURE CENTER. THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE AND KNOW WHAT WORKS BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY. I WOULD ASK YOU TO PLEASE VALUE OUR SENIORS. I'VE RECENTLY SPOKEN WITH COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS AND DAVID LOPEZ ABOUT AN IDEA FOR A WATER AEROBICS INSTRUCTOR FOR OUR SENIORS. THEY LOST THEIR INSTRUCTOR AND OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ONE FOR TWO YEARS IN A ROW. IT'S TRAGIC AS THIS CLASS IS BENEFICIAL FOR ELDERLY, AND IN ORDER TO HAVE A VIBRANT COMMUNITY OF SENIORS, THEY MUST STAY ACTIVE. I KNOW THIS MY OWN MOM IS ALMOST 97. SHE'S STILL EXERCISING AND VERY ACTIVE. AND IT'S JUST IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. 
          AND ONE DAY, EACH OF US, EACH OF YOU AND, AND I WILL REALIZE IT IN A VERY REAL WAY. ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT ALL THE ROUNDABOUTS PLANNED FOR THE CITY. I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT TONIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY COST TO THE CITY FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS VERSUS LIGHTS, I'D LIKE TO KNOW THE COST OF BEAUTIFYING ALL ROUNDABOUTS. 
          THAT WOULD INCLUDE LIGHTING, IRRIGATION, ART, INSTALLATION, LANDSCAPING, ETC. THESE ALL OF THESE HAVE TO BE MAINTAINED AND THE COST WILL BE ONGOING. AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A ROUNDABOUTS FIRST POLICY AMENDED. INSTEAD OF SAYING THAT YOU CAN PUT, YOU WILL PUT ONE FIRST ANYWHERE YOU CAN ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY. THINK IT SHOULD SAY WHERE OTHER THINGS THAT WILL INDICATE WHETHER IT MAKES SENSE TO PUT IT IN THAT SPOT. I KNOW OF SOME RIGHT NOW THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT CHANGED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. 
          JENNIFER, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER FORMS? ALL RIGHT. DID I MISS ANYONE WHO SUBMITTED A FORM? YEAH. IT'S OKAY IF YOU IF YOU JUST BE SURE AND FILL OUT A FORM, YOU CAN COME UP AND SPEAK AND YOU NEED TO STATE YOUR NAME IF THAT'S OKAY. HI. GOOD EVENING. I'M LAUREN FOY. I AM REPRESENTING POWELL'S PET VENTILATOR OF CENTRAL TEXAS. WE ARE THE LOCAL NONPROFIT, FREE SPAY AND NEUTER NEUTER LOCAL ANIMAL HOSPITAL. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT THE COMMENDABLE PRESENTATION THAT'S ABOUT TO PRESENT FROM KYLE OF DOING THIS BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING NEW COMMUNITY SHELTER. I KNOW THAT THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT THERE MAY NOT BE SERVICES PROVIDED OR COMMUNITY ANIMAL HEALTH. IF YOU NOTICE WHEN YOU SEE THIS PRESENTATION, THERE IS A WING THAT IS JUST FOR COMMUNITY ANIMALS. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING A PART OF THIS PROJECT AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES TO THE CITIZENS OF KYLE IN HAYS COUNTY. I KNOW THAT I WAS PART OF THE VERY BEGINNING PLANNING OF THIS ANIMAL SHELTER, AND IT WAS VERY STRATEGIC IN THE SENSE OF MAKING SURE THAT AS IT WAS BEING DEVELOPED, THAT CRITICAL, ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS ARE IMPLEMENTED INTO THIS PROCEDURE. SO YOU WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU SEE 
          [00:25:04]
THIS, THAT THAT WAS PUT IN WITH CARE, THAT IT'S NOT JUST A SHELTER, THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE RESOURCES TO MAKE SURE THAT ANIMALS ARE REUNITED WITH THEIR PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPORTED, THAT THEY GET TO STAY. IT'S NOT A TRADITIONAL SHELTER. THAT'S NOT WHAT KYLE'S TRYING TO DO TODAY. 
          AND I JUST WANTED TO BE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU GUYS IN THIS COMMUNITY. EXCUSE ME. AMAZING ACTION OF DEVELOPING THIS BEAUTIFUL NEW PROJECT AND SAYING THAT POWELL SUPPORTS IT. AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO BE A PART OF ALL THE NEW THINGS THAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE DOING IN THE FUTURE.

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE. RECEIVER REPORT. HOLD DISCUSSION. PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE FINAL STRATEGY FOR ESTHETIC DESIGN ELEMENTS REGARDING LANDSCAPING, SIGNAGE AND ART FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS WITHIN CITY ROADWAYS. MISS MCCALLUM. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MELISSA MCCALLUM CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO KIND OF HAVE THIS PRESENTATION THIS EVENING TO BE KIND OF A CULMINATION OF OUR PRE-PLANNING EFFORTS OF REALLY KIND OF THESE ROUNDABOUTS WITH REALLY LOOKING AT KIND OF OUR FINAL DESIGNS FOR WHAT'S GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LANDSCAPING AND THEN ARTWORK WITH FUTURE ARTWORK TO COME BACK, BUT THEN ALSO THE SIGNAGE. AND WE REALLY TASKED A COLEMAN AND ASSOCIATES TO USE OUR KYLE ADOPTED. NATIVE PLANTS, SPECIES AND ALL OF THIS WITH OUR SUPPORT FROM OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT AND JOHN DAVIS, OUR CONSERVATION MANAGER. SO REALLY, THESE ROUNDABOUTS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN LONG TERM THAT WILL MEET OUR CLIMATE NEEDS HERE IN KYLE. SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MARISSA TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT WHERE WE'RE AT AND THEN OFFER YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE ANY FEEDBACK. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK AGAIN TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR LATEST ITERATION OF DESIGNS FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF KYLE. SO OUR INTERNAL AGENDA FOR MY PRESENTATION TODAY IS TO REVIEW THE PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDERWAY TO PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF THE SIGNAGE CONCEPTS THAT WE PRESENTED AT THE LAST MEETING, AS WELL AS THEIR PROPOSED LOCATIONS. BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED, A UPDATE ON THE PLANTING TYPOLOGIES FOR THE LANDSCAPE, ROUNDABOUTS, THE ROUNDABOUTS AND SIGNAGE ROUNDABOUTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND THEN PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON PUBLIC ART REQUIREMENTS AND A DRAFT LOCATION OF ART THEMES, WHICH WAS ALSO DISCUSSED AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, WHICH WE RECEIVED SOME FEEDBACK ON, AS WELL AS SOME FINAL STEPS OF WHEN YOU'LL GET TO SEE MELISSA AND I BACK HERE AGAIN. SO AN UPDATE ON THE PROJECTS UNDERWAY, THESE THAT ARE CIRCLED HERE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY HAVE DRAWN. THEY HAVE ACTIVE DRAWINGS THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR CIVIL ENGINEERING PARTNERS ON. THEY ARE IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THE PSA PROCESS. SO WE PARTICIPATE IN THE 60%, 90% AND 100% PSA PACKAGES AS WELL AS ANY ASI ARCHITECT SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS THAT NEED TO COME OUT AFTER THE 100% PLANS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. AND SO WE'VE GOT THESE SEVERAL THAT ARE UNDERWAY. AND EACH OF THEM AS NOTED HERE ARE THE VARIETY OF ROUNDABOUT TYPOLOGIES THAT WE HAVE. THE SIGNAGE, LANDSCAPE AND ART. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT PROJECTS UNDERWAY? OKAY OKAY. SO NEXT WE WANT TO MOVE INTO THE SIGNAGE CONCEPT SUMMARY. AND SO WE HAVE A SLIDE HERE THAT SHOWS ALL THE WONDERFUL KYLE SIGNS THAT YOU HAVE EXISTING. AND WE MAPPED THOSE OUT HERE ON THIS MAP AS WELL. AND SO THESE WERE THE THREE CONCEPTS THAT WE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM Y'ALL ON THAT WE WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. WE HAVE THE KIND OF TRADITIONAL KYLE LOGO SIGN AS CONCEPT ONE. WE HAVE THE VERY PATRIOTIC KYLE SIGN AS CONCEPT TWO AND THEN CONCEPT THREE, WHICH ANNE COLEMAN WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT, WAS SORT OF THE PEELED OFF LETTERS THAT HAD THE RENDERING THAT WE THE MOVABLE RENDERING THAT WE DID AND WENT OVER WITH YOU ALL. SO THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED WAS TO LOCATE, I'M GOING TO START AT THE VERY TOP OF THE MAP AND KIND OF MOVE MY WAY DOWN. SO TO PROVIDE CONCEPT TWO INTO THE TWO SIGNAGE LOCATIONS ON KOHLERS CROSSING, MOSTLY BECAUSE THOSE RELATED TO THE HEROES MEMORIAL PARK THE BEST AND SINCE THAT IS LOCATED IN THAT AREA, THOSE CORRESPONDED WELL. MOVING A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTHWEST, WE'VE GOT IN ROUNDABOUT NUMBER 13, PUTTING IN CONCEPT ONE ROUND, CONCEPT ONE SIGNAGE, AND THEN ON THE EAST SIDE ALONG BUNTON CREEK ROAD, INCORPORATING CONCEPT NUMBER THREE. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? COMMENTS. CONCERNS. ON THE 
          [00:40:03]
ROUNDABOUT NEAR WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? THE PARK CENTER? BRIAN, JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE REACHING OUT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND COMMUNICATING WITH THEM, OKAY. SO NOTED. THANK YOU. SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO PLANTING TYPOLOGIES NOW MELISSA GAVE A LITTLE INTRO TO THIS. AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT ON THE CITY OF KYLE APPROVED PLANT LIST. AND SO HERE'S A SLIDE SHOW THAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN PRESENTED THIS INFORMATION BEFORE ON THE NATIVE PLANT PALETTE PROCESS AND ALL OF ITS BENEFITS. AND SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT PLANT PALETTE? NO. AS LONG AS WE'RE FOLLOWING THE PROCESS, THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD JOB BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTING THE DIFFERENT SPECIES OF PLANTS THAT WE SHOULD BE USING IN OUR PLANNING. YOU KNOW, I WAS UNAWARE THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE CERTAIN PLANTS THAT HAVE EVEN BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, ECO FRIENDLY. THEY WERE PROBABLY FROM A DESERT AREA THAT WE COULD USE THEM HERE. BUT SEEING THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A DETRIMENT IN OUR, OUR AREA, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES TO WATER OR EVEN SPECIES WAS GREAT TO SEE. SO IT WAS A IT WAS A GREAT PLAN. SO I'M GLAD YOU ALL ARE FOLLOWING IT. PARKS DEPARTMENT DID A GREAT JOB OF PUTTING THAT TOGETHER, BY THE WAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE, AS I MENTIONED, THE THREE TYPES OF ROUNDABOUTS. WE HAVE ART ROUNDABOUTS, WE HAVE THE SIGNAGE ROUNDABOUTS AND WE HAVE THE LANDSCAPE ONLY ROUNDABOUTS. SO I'M GOING TO RUN THROUGH THESE KIND OF QUICKLY BECAUSE ALL OF THESE PLANTS ARE OFF OF THE APPROVED PLANT LIST. AND IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE DESIGNS THAT WERE PRESENTED AT THE LAST MEETING. WE'VE JUST KIND OF CHANGED OUT SOME OF THE SPECIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ALL ON THE LIST. AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR AS PART OF THESE IS GOOD SEASONAL COLOR, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE ITEMS THAT HAVE NOT ONLY SEASONAL COLOR, BUT SEASONAL INTERESTS, THAT WE HAVE GOOD FOUNDATIONAL PLANTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE THERE ALL THE TIME AS VARIOUS PLANTS EXPERIENCE DORMANCY AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO ALONG THE ART ROUNDABOUT, YOU CAN SEE THE ART PAD THAT IS LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE. SINCE ART. AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THESE DOCUMENTS, ART IS LARGELY TO BE DETERMINED. THERE WILL BE AN OFFICIAL PROCESS THAT COMES THROUGH THE CITY ON THAT. SO YOU CAN SEE THE ART PAD THERE IN THE MIDDLE. WE REVIEWED THIS WITH ALL OF YOU AT THE PRIOR COUNCIL MEETINGS, BUT THESE ARE ALL ALSO TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE APPROPRIATE VIEW CONSTRAINTS THAT WE HAVE WITH THE CIVIL ENGINEERS. SO MAKING SURE THAT THAT AREA BETWEEN THE OUTER RING OF THE CIRCLE IN TOWARDS THE CIRCLE FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT, WHICH IS DEPENDENT ON EACH ROUNDABOUT, THERE'S A LOT OF MATH CALCULATIONS THAT GO INTO THAT, THAT THOSE AREAS ARE LOWER THAN THREE FEET, BECAUSE THAT'S AN IMPORTANT VIEW TRIANGLE, SO THAT YOU CAN VIEW ONCOMING TRAFFIC THAT'S ENTERING THE ROUNDABOUT AS YOU ARE PROCEEDING THROUGH IT. AND SO IN THIS PARTICULAR PLAN, WE HAVE THE SORT OF BASE PLANTS THAT WILL GO IN EACH OF THE ART ROUNDABOUTS. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE IN THE NEXT SLIDE WE PROVIDE SEVERAL VARIATIONS OF PLANTS THAT WILL BE SUBBED IN TO THE AREAS THAT YOU DON'T SEE HIGHLIGHTED HERE, WHICH WILL PROVIDE THE ACCENT PLANTS AT THE VARIOUS LOCATIONS. 
          SO THIS ONE WE HAVE A MIX OF LITTLE BLUESTEM, BLACKFOOT DAISY, FROGFRUIT, BIG MULEY, ZEXMENIA, AND RED YUCCA. AND THEN THOSE ARE PAIRED WITH SORT OF AS WE MOVE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER INTO THE ROUNDABOUT, THESE VERSIONS OF THE ACCENT PLANTS. SO THOSE BASE PLANTS WILL EITHER BE PAIRED WITH TEXAS PRICKLY PEAR AND SKELETON LEAF GOLDENEYE OR NOLINA AND ACANTHUS OR BUCKLEY'S YUCCA AND YELLOW BELLS. SO WITH ACROSS ALL OF THE ART ROUNDABOUTS, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME VARIETY TO EACH OF THEM AND NOT HAVE THEM BE ABSOLUTELY COOKIE CUTTER. SO THIS ALLOWS FOR US SOME VARIETY TO SORT OF SPREAD THESE ACCENT PLANTS ACROSS THE ROUNDABOUTS THROUGHOUT, ACROSS THE ART ROUNDABOUTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. WE ALSO HAVE OUR CONSISTENT HARDSCAPE ELEMENTS. THESE HAVE NOT CHANGED SINCE THE LAST PRESENTATION. HARDWOOD MULCH, THE STAMPED CONCRETE RIM AROUND THE EDGE TO ALLOW FOR A CERTAIN OVERFLOW OF TIRES THAT SOMETIMES OCCUR ON THE CENTRAL ROUNDABOUT AREA. THE 5/8 INCH GRANITE GRAVEL STEEL EDGING, SOME STEEL PLATE IN SOME OF THESE AREAS TO KIND OF GET A LITTLE HEIGHT IN THE ROUNDABOUTS. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, AS WE TALKED WITH VARIOUS TRAFFIC ENGINEERS, THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE ROUNDABOUTS IS CURRENTLY THAT IF YOU CAN GET SOME HEIGHT UP TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUNDABOUT, THAT ACTUALLY HELPS FOR THEM TO FUNCTION IN A MORE SAFE WAY BECAUSE YOU ARE FOCUSED DIRECTLY ON ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUT. I HAVE A QUESTION. YES. SO ON THE MULCH, I'D LIKE TO REQUEST THAT WE NOT USE DIED PRODUCTS AND THAT WE USE LOCAL MULCH SUCH AS CEDAR BARK MULCH, WHICH PREVENTS OR DISCOURAGES THE ANTS IN THE 
          [00:45:02]
ROUNDABOUT. YES, WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND USING A NATIVE HARDWOOD MULCH, A DOUBLE GRIND NATIVE HARDWOOD MULCH. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT COMMENT. AND WE'RE ALSO INCORPORATING THE USE OF LIMESTONE BLOCKS. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE CONCRETE PEDESTAL PIECE FOR THE ART. ANY QUESTIONS ON ART ROUNDABOUTS. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO LANDSCAPE ROUNDABOUTS. SO THESE ARE THE ROUNDABOUTS THAT ARE FILLED SOLELY WITH PLANTS. THERE WE HAVE THE LARGEST QUANTITY I THINK THERE ARE 13 LANDSCAPE ONLY ROUNDABOUTS AS PART OF THIS. AND THIS IS THE ONLY ROUNDABOUT TYPOLOGY THAT INCLUDES SHADE TREES. HARD TO DO WITH THE ART. WE DON'T WANT TO OBSCURE THAT. AND THEN WE FELT WITH THE SIGNAGE ROUNDABOUTS THAT HAVING THE SHADE TREES MIGHT END UP COMPETING WITH THE SIGNAGE. SO THE SIGNAGE ROUNDABOUTS HAVE SOME ORNAMENTAL TREES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM I BELIEVE. SO IN THE LANDSCAPE ROUNDABOUT, WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE SAME AGENDA AS THE ART ONE, WHERE WE'VE GOT A BASE GROUP OF PLANTS THAT WE'RE USING BIG MULEY, TEXAS PRICKLY PEAR, NOLINA, TURK'S CAP ZEXMENIA, THE BLUE SAGE AND RED YUCCA, AND THOSE ARE MIXED WITH THE ACCENT PLANTS THAT ARE SUBBED IN EITHER FROGFRUIT AND TWIST LEAF YUCCA, ZEXMENIA OR BUCKLEY'S YUCCA AND GREG'S MIST FLOWER AND GREEN YUCCA. SO THESE ARE ALL INCLUDED HERE. AND THEN WE HAVE A FOUR SHADE TREE VARIETIES THAT CAN BE USED IN THE ROUNDABOUTS, AND WE ARE PLANNING ON USING A SINGLE SPECIES IN EACH ROUNDABOUT SO THAT IT DOESN'T GET TOO BUSY. SO WE WILL EITHER HAVE GROUPS OF CEDAR ELMS, RED OAKS, LIVE OAKS, OR LACY OAKS. WITHIN THESE AREAS, WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE SAME HARDSCAPE MATERIALS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE. SO ANY QUESTIONS ON QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS ON LANDSCAPE. ALL RIGHT. OUR FINAL FRONTIER IS THE SIGNAGE ROUNDABOUTS. WE HAVE THE SAME PROCESS THAT WE'RE USING WITH THIS. WE'VE GOT OUR TEXAS PRICKLY PEAR SNAKE HERB YELLOW BELLS BIG MULEY ZEXMENIA AND FLAME ACANTHUS AS OUR BASE PLANTING PLAN. AND THEN OUR TWO VERSIONS FOR THIS ARE THE TWIST LEAF GREEN YUCCA AND BLACKFOOT DAISY, AND THE RED YUCCA AND FROGFRUIT FOR THESE AREAS, AND VERY SIMILAR BUT SOMEWHAT LIMITED HARDSCAPE PALETTE FOR THIS, JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T NECESSARILY NEED THE HEIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THESE ROUNDABOUTS, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SIGNAGE THAT IS LOCATED ON EACH CORNER AS WE ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT. ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS ON SIGNAGE, ROUNDABOUTS. ALL RIGHT. SO PUBLIC ART WE PRESENTED THIS AT PRIOR MEETINGS. THIS HAS BEEN WORKED. WE'VE WORKED ON THIS WITH THE ART AND CULTURE COMMISSION WITH THE CITY. AND WE HOPE THAT THE SCOPE AND THEME FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS WOULD BE TO CELEBRATE LOCAL FLORA AND FAUNA, TO HONOR LOCAL HISTORY, AND TO EMBRACE COMMUNITY GROWTH. WE TALKED ABOUT MATERIALITY, MAKING SURE THAT THESE ARE DURABLE NON-KINETIC. WE HAVE ALSO PROVIDED INFORMATION ON THE MAX WEIGHT THAT THE PAD, THE PRE-ENGINEERED PAD, CAN BE ACCOMMODATING, AS WELL AS THE SIZE OF THE ART, SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THE FOUNDATION AS PART OF THE ROUNDABOUT PROJECTS. BUT LIKE I SAID, PROCURE THE ART AT A LATER DATE THROUGH THE OFFICIAL CITY RFP PROCESS. AND THEN WE HAVE, IF LIGHTING IS DESIRED, IS DESIRED BY THE ARTIST, THAT WE WILL WORK TO PROVIDE A CONDUIT FOR ELECTRICAL AT EACH OF THE ROUNDABOUTS, WHICH WE HAVE ANYWAY, BECAUSE WE ARE INSTALLING IRRIGATION AT EACH OF THE ROUNDABOUTS, SO WE CAN WORK WITH THE ARTISTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE BEING MET. SO AS PART OF THE ART ROUNDABOUT LOCATIONS, WE HAVE FIVE LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE CITY HERE. AND THE LAST MEETING, WE WANTED TO JUST COME BACK AND VERIFY THAT WE HEARD YOUR COMMENTS CORRECTLY. SO WE'LL START AT AROUND ABOUT THREE, WHICH IS THE TOP LEFT DOT OFF OF COLORS INCORPORATING A VETERAN OR US HISTORY THEMED TO TIE IN WITH THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE SIGNAGE THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED, AS WELL AS HERO MEMORIAL PARK AT ROUNDABOUT NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS TO THE TOP RIGHT OF THE SCREEN ALONG WINDY HILL. ONE OF THE COMMENTS WE RECEIVED WAS TO HAVE ART, THE ART OF CELEBRATING LOCAL HISTORY TO MARK THE FARMING AND RANCHING NATURE AND CHARACTER OF THAT AREA OF KYLE. FOR ROUNDABOUT NUMBER NINE, WHICH IS JUST SOUTHWEST OF NUMBER FOUR, IT WAS A DECISION TO EMBRACE THE COMMUNITY, TO HAVE THE EMBRACE COMMUNITY GROWTH THEME FOR ROUNDABOUT NUMBER 12, WHICH IS ON THE FAR WEST SIDE OF THE PAGE HERE, GOING WITH THE FLORA AND FAUNA THEME. AND THE SAME FOR ROUNDABOUT NUMBER 18. SO WE JUST WANTED TO VERIFY THAT THIS ALIGNS WITH PRIOR COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM COUNCIL. YES. 
          [00:50:02]
THANK YOU FOR NUMBER FOUR. ALL RIGHT. GOING GROWING UP IN THIS AREA THERE WAS A LOT OF FARMING AND TRACTOR USAGE DURING THE SUMMERTIME WHERE A LOT OF THE FARMERS AND RANCHERS WOULD GET THEIR CROPS. AND I REMEMBER DRIVING OUR TRACTOR TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE OFF OF MATHIS STREET ROAD. AND SO I'M GLAD WE'RE KIND OF EMBRACING THAT, THAT TYPE OF HISTORY, CELEBRATING THAT HISTORY. THANK YOU. YEAH, WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO SEE THE RFP PROCESS GO THROUGH AND THE GREAT IDEAS THAT THE ARTISTS WILL HAVE FOR TO FILL, FILL THE SPACE IN THE CENTER OF THE ROUNDABOUTS. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE JUST WANTED TO SOLICIT I MEAN, THIS WAS SORT OF OUR RUNDOWN OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND FEEDBACK. I KIND OF AD LIBBED AND DID IT AS I WENT. SO I THINK WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THE PLANT TYPOLOGIES OR ACCENT FEATURES. ASIDE FROM THE NOTED MAKING SURE WE USE A NATIVE HARDWOOD CEDAR MULCH IN LIEU OF A DYED MULCH, WHICH IS EASILY ACCOMMODATED. I THINK OUR ART THEMES ARE ALIGNED, SIGNAGE THEMES MADE SENSE, AND JUST MAKING SURE WE'RE FOLLOWING THE PLANS THAT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT GAVE US. THE MAKING THE LIST. 
          YEP, ALL OF THESE PLANTS ARE OFF OF THE LIST. OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. AND SO NEXT STEPS. YEAH. SO REALLY NEXT STEPS ARE TO GET COLEMAN ASSOCIATES TO REALLY GO BACK AND MAKE SURE THAT KIND OF ALL THE LANDSCAPE OR HONESTLY ALL THE ROUNDABOUTS THAT ARE IN THE PROCESS, MAKE SURE THAT THEY INCORPORATE THESE PLANT TYPOLOGIES AND PLANT SPECIES IN THOSE. AND THEN WE'LL WORK TO START DOING SOME RFPS FOR THE ARTWORK THAT'S GOING INTO THIS REALLY KIND OF FINALIZE SOME OF THE SIGNAGE COSTS AND SIGNS AND GET THOSE THAT INFORMATION BACK AS, AS PART OF THAT. BUT REALLY HONESTLY, NEXT STEPS FOR YOU IS AS THE COUNCIL WOULD REALLY TO SEE THE INDIVIDUAL ART PIECES WHEN THOSE COME IN FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS. OKAY. SO ON THAT THE PROPOSALS WILL FIRST GO TO THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD. YES. I THINK THEY WOULD GO OUT FOR AN RFP. WE'LL WORK WITH WITH PARKS OVERSEES THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE KIND OF OUR DESIGN ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE, THE CONCRETE PAD THICKNESS AND WEIGHT AND ALL OF THAT TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE ART. OKAY. SO THE PARKS BOARD IS LOOKING AT THE LANDSCAPING, BUT THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD WILL LOOK AT THE SPECIFIC ART. SO IT'LL BE ALMOST LIKE TWO DIFFERENT TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS. YEAH, I ACTUALLY WE'RE DONE WITH THE PARKS BOARD FOR LANDSCAPING. 
          WE'RE HOPING THAT TRULY WILL JUST UPDATE THE PLANS THAT ARE GOING WITH THESE ROUNDABOUTS AND, AND GET THEM TO BE INCORPORATED WHEN THE ROADS ARE BUILT. BUT THE ARTWORK WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD. AND FOR AWARDING THE CONTRACTS ASSOCIATED THAT THAT WILL COME BACK TO COUNCIL. OKAY. AND BY THE TIME WE SEE THE RENDERINGS OF WHATEVER THE PROPOSALS MIGHT BE FOR THE ART STRUCTURE THAT WILL HAVE BY THAT TIME, THE NEXT TIME WE SEE IT AGAIN, IT WILL HAVE GONE THROUGH THE ARTS BOARD. THEY WILL HAVE SELECTED SOMEONE TO DESIGN IT. 
          AND THAT FIRM, THAT ARTIST WILL GIVE US RENDERINGS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS. OR WILL IT BE JUST ONE? AND THEN IF IT'S COMING FOR US, TO US, IT'LL JUST BE ONE OPTION PER ROUNDABOUT ART PIECE OR OR LIKE THE LAST TIME WE HAD MULTIPLE OPTIONS PRESENTED TO US, WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY LIKE EITHER OF THEM. WE WENT WITH ONE AND NOT THE OTHER. AND THERE WERE FIRMS WHO HAD MADE DIFFERENT BIDS. BUT ARE YOU SAYING THAT THIS WILL BE A DIFFERENT PROCESS WHERE IT WILL JUST GO THROUGH THE ARTS BOARD, AND THEN WE SORT OF JUST CONFIRM IT, OR ARE WE GOING TO HAVE OPTIONS? GREAT QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW IF ALL OF THAT HAD BEEN DECIDED EXACTLY YET, BUT WE DO WANT TO SET UP SOME OF THE PARAMETERS, GIVE THE ARTISTS THESE THEMES, UNDERSTAND KIND OF THE ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED THAT, AND THEN EVEN MORE SO REALLY THE TIMING OF WHEN THAT ARTWORK NEEDS TO COME ONLINE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALL COMING ON ONLINE AT THE SAME TIME. OKAY. SO THAT'S MY NEXT QUESTION IS FOR KIND OF FOR EVERYONE IS WHEN IS THE TIMING OF THIS IS THIS IS THE ART PIECE. I ASSUME THE LANDSCAPING AND THE SIGNAGE IS ALL PART OF THE CIP OF THE PROJECT, SO THAT IT'S BEING FUNDED OUT OF THAT CIP. YES. RIGHT. YEAH. SO THE IDEA IS TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER THE ROUNDABOUTS AT THE TIME THAT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD IS BEING DONE WITH THE ROAD BOND PROJECTS, THE ARTWORK ITSELF MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER. AND I THINK GOING BACK TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THAT PROCESS, WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS THAT WE GO THROUGH THE COMPETITIVE PROCESS AND RFP, THE ARTS AND CULTURAL BOARD WOULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO YOU OF WHICH OF AN ARTIST OR OF A PIECE OR A PIECE? YES. YES, THEY WOULD GET A SUBMISSION FROM EACH. HERE'S WHAT THEY THINK THEY WOULD LOOK LIKE, WHAT THEY WOULD, WHERE THEY WOULD PUT THEM AND WHY THEY SIGNIFY, YOU KNOW, THE THEME THAT'S BEING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROMOTE AND THEN LET YOU SEE THOSE AND WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATION, OF COURSE, THE COUNCIL THEN COULD DECIDE TO MAKE A DIFFERENT SELECTION OUT OF THOSE. THAT'S WHAT I'D RECOMMEND AND HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST. BUT MAYBE IT'S MORE OF A QUESTION TO COUNCIL THAN WOULD 
          [00:55:05]
YOU. DO YOU WANT TO BE MORE INVOLVED IN THE EARLIER I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE ARTS BOARD IS GOING TO BE INVOLVED. ART IS SUBJECTIVE. WE GOT A TASTE OF IT'S DIFFERENT TO EVERYONE. I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, KEYWORDS THAT WE JUST GAVE AS FAR AS THE THEMES. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF GRAY AREA AND WHAT THAT MIGHT BE. AND COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS. YEAH. WELL I THINK THAT WE APPOINT BOARD, I THINK I WOULD TRUST THEM TO DO THE PRELIMINARY EVALUATIONS. SO YOU'RE MORE ON THE SIDE OF DOING IT. WE ARE AT THE END AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO ACCEPT A NOMINATED PIECE. BUT IF WE DON'T LIKE IT, WE CAN WE CAN REQUEST SOMETHING ELSE. OKAY. AND I THINK TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, THAT'S WHY WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A LOOK OF IT EARLIER THAN, YOU KNOW, WE COULD SEE WHAT WAS BEING PROPOSED AS WELL. GO WITH THE ART BOARD'S RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT ALSO HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOME KIND OF A RESONANCE OF WHAT'S COMING FORWARD. RIGHT? WHAT IF THERE'S MISSING SOMETHING? AND LIKE YOU SAY, ART IS SUBJECTIVE. WE DON'T ALWAYS AGREE. WHAT'S GOING ON? I LOOK, HONESTLY, I'VE VISITED A COUPLE CITIES THAT HAD SOME ART BOARDS, AND THERE'S SOME PIECES THAT WERE THE ART BOARD HAD APPROVED, AND THE REST OF THE CITY WANTED TO BURN THEM DOWN. 
          SO IT'S KIND OF YEAH, THAT'S THE RISK. IT'S KIND OF A RISK. SO THAT'S I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO AVOID IS THE RISK. I'D LOVE TO SEE IT STILL GO WITH A LOT OF THE PARKS BOARD TO GO THROUGH THEIR PROCESS, BUT AT LEAST GET A HEADS UP. RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING. YEAH. I DON'T THINK EVEN THE COUNCIL WOULD AGREE ON ANY INDIVIDUAL PIECE. AND I REALLY THINK OUR ARTS BOARD IS ARTISTS, AND WE'VE BEEN REALLY CAREFUL TO TRY TO MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT THE VIEWPOINT OF AN ARTIST. I DON'T WANT TO GET THE ARTIST. I, I AM NOT I AM NOT GOING TO SAY, OH, I LIKE THAT ONE. I LIKE THAT ONE. OH, I DON'T LIKE THAT ONE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE ARTIST. 
          I SO I WOULD, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO RELY MAINLY ON THE, THE ARTS COUNCIL, WHICH WE GAVE THEM THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THAT. WELL, WE'VE GIVEN ENOUGH DIRECTION WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT, WHAT THE CITY WANTS TO GO FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE WHAT WE'RE THINKING. WE DON'T LIKE IT. WE CAN SEND IT BACK. YEAH, I THINK IT'S SOME BROAD THEMES. YOU KNOW, ART IS VERY SUBJECTIVE, AND IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO REALLY PINPOINT EXACTLY WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE AND, AND HOW IT WILL BE PERCEIVED. AND, AND SO I THINK LETTING THE ARTISTS DO THAT WORK AND BRINGING THAT TO YOU AND AS A BODY, YOU GET TO SEE THAT THE ARTS AND CULTURAL BOARD GETS TO SEE IT, AND THEN ULTIMATELY THE COUNCIL GETS TO SEE IT AND DECIDE IF THAT IS THE PIECE THAT YOU WANT TO PUT AT THAT LOCATION AND REFLECTS KIND OF THE THEME THAT YOU'RE GOING FOR. YOU CAN ALWAYS SAY NO, BECAUSE I FEEL GUILTY. YOU KNOW, THEY PUT IN ALL THAT WORK AND THEN THEY WE SAY NO. AND IT'S LIKE, WELL, YEAH, THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. BUT I GUESS IT'D BE THE HONEST WAY TO DO IT. SO YEAH. COUNCILMEMBER KINNEY. YEAH. WELL, I THINK IT'S CERTAINLY APPROPRIATE THAT THIS GOES THROUGH THE ARTS BOARD. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MULTIPLE OPTIONS, NOT JUST ONE PER. AND I THINK THAT WOULD GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE TO TALK ABOUT AND, AND KIND OF DECIDE AS A COUNCIL WHAT WE WANT. WHAT IF WHAT IF WE ASKED THE ARTS BOARD TO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, GIVE US LIKE A, NOT A THE BOARD ITSELF TO LIKE EXPOUND UPON THE THEMES LIKE FOR EXAMPLE THE RANCHING AND FARMING ONE. WHAT IF WE ASKED THEM TO LOOK INTO IT AND THEN GIVE US LIKE A FLESHED OUT, WE SEE IT LIKE THIS OR HONORING THIS PERSON, AND THEN THERE'S LIKE A PROMPT THAT WE AGREE WITH THAT. THAT PROMPT THEN GOES OUT TO, TO BID SO THAT IT'S NOT JUST SO WIDE, WIDE, WIDE OPEN. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE LAST SET OF ART THAT CAME TO US MADE ME THINK, LIKE IT'S TRULY INTERPRETIVE. AND THERE'S NOT EVEN JUST, THERE'S NO, LIKE, COALESCING BEHIND EVEN A THEME. LIKE THAT. SO, SO FOR THE FARMING AS AN EXAMPLE, FOR THE COW FARMING AND RANCHING HERITAGE, HERE ARE THREE POTENTIAL IDEAS THAT WE THINK MAY MAYBE MAKE SENSE FROM THAT COUNCIL. DO YOU AGREE WITH THOSE? NOT A PICTURE. WORDS LIKE DESCRIBED DESCRIBE. BECAUSE IF YOU CAN DESCRIBE IT AND THEN WE'RE LIKE, YES, WE UNDERSTAND THAT NOW ARTIST WHICH WE ARE NOT TRY TO FULFILL THAT VISION. IT MIGHT GET US CLOSER TO SOMETHING WE LIKE, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE KIND OF OUR IDEAS. WE KIND OF SAID THAT, OR WE DID SAY THAT. WELL, SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FARMING, IT MAY NOT JUST BE THAT THEY DESIGN SOMETHING. WE COULD FIND AN ARTIFACT. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, OLDER TRACTORS, OLDER MACHINERY THAT COULD BE REFURBISHED AND PLACED OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT'S ORIGINAL THAT LIKE THERE'S A PIECE THAT BELONGED TO SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING. AND FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT THERE THAT COULD BE JUST BE A LITTLE FOUNDATION OF A STRUCTURE. YEAH. LIKE, YOU KNOW, OLD FARM PIECE EARLY 1900S OR A PLOW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR JUST JUST TO RECOGNIZE THE AREA. 
          THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO EXACTLY THE AREA ITSELF. AND THIS IS UNIQUE, IT'S NOT SOME 
          [01:00:05]
ARTIST THAT CAME IN FROM WHEREVER AND, AND BUILT IT. THIS IS AN ACTUAL WAS AN ACTUAL WORKING PIECE ON THIS LAND IN THAT AREA. YEAH, I LIKE THAT. YEAH. LIKE THE ART NEEDS TO BE THAT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT'S CONNECTED TO OUR ACTUAL CORE HISTORY. YOU KNOW, A PIECE FROM HERE OR A, YOU KNOW, SOME KIND OF SYMBOL FROM, YOU KNOW, BRANDS FROM HERE. I KNOW THAT'S BEEN A LOT. WE'VE GOT THOSE ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WOULD BE GOOD, I THINK, TO GET SOME LIMITATION ON OR NOT EVEN LIMITATION DEFINITION OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET FROM THE BOARD. AND THEN I THINK THAT WOULD HELP US TO GIVE BECAUSE I THINK COUNCILOR HARRIS IS RIGHT. 
          I MEAN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE BOARD NEEDS TO BE THE ONE DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING, HAVING THE DETAILED CONVERSATIONS. WE NEED TO KEEP IT AT THAT 30,000 FOOT LEVEL. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IF WE DON'T SAY ANYTHING AND JUST WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO COME BACK AT THE VERY END AND WE HATE IT, THAT THAT IS GOING TO PUT EVERYONE IN A BAD SITUATION. SO IT HAS TO BE SORT OF LIKE A LITTLE BIT ITERATIVE ALONG THE WAY. PERHAPS WHAT WE CAN DO IS GO TO THE ARTS AND CULTURAL BOARD, HAVE THIS CONVERSATION, TRY TO FLESH OUT THE PROCESS A LITTLE BIT MORE, COME UP WITH SOME BETTER DESCRIPTIONS, AND THEN BRING THAT BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND MAKE SURE WE'RE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT AND GET THEIR FEEDBACK. WELL, ONE LAST QUESTION. SO THE LANDSCAPE, IT'S ALL BUDGETED FROM THE CIP WITH THE ART IN THESE ROUNDABOUTS BE BUDGETED FROM THAT CIP AS WELL, OR IS THAT A SEPARATE BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE $60,000 IN THE BUDGET FOR ART, BECAUSE THESE ARE SEPARATE CIP PROJECTS, AND I'M JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WITHIN OUR BOND PROGRAMS AND THE VARIOUS CIP SOURCES THAT WE'VE GOT IT FUNDED ALREADY RIGHT NOW, OR WAS AT LEAST SOME AMOUNT WE HAVE SOME FUNDING ALREADY FOR EACH OF THE ROUNDABOUTS AND THE ROAD BOND PROGRAM. AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE SET ASIDE $1 MILLION A YEAR FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ROUNDABOUTS, THE BEAUTIFICATION OF THOSE. SO SOME OF THAT WILL COULD GO FOR THE ARTWORK THAT WE HAVE, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE COST IS. I DON'T THINK WE KNOW YET WHAT SOME OF THOSE COST ELEMENTS ARE, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME FUNDING STREAMS FOR THOSE. IT COULD BE THAT YOU HAVE A FEW PAD SITES FOR THE ART THAT TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO ACTUALLY COMPLETE AND FUND AND BUILD THAT, BUILD THE SITES OUT, BUT WE DO HAVE FUNDING TO AT LEAST START THE ROUNDABOUTS. YOU MIGHT JUST HAVE A PAD SITE FOR THE ART UNTIL IT CAN BE FUNDED AND ACTUALLY COMMISSIONED. WE DO HAVE MONEY FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT. ANY ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT ROUNDABOUTS EARLY ON CITIZEN COMMENT. BUT YOU KNOW, ABOUT ROUNDABOUTS BEING A PRIORITY FOR US, THINGS LIKE THAT. CAN I JUST WANT TO THROW OUT SOME STATISTICS THAT WE GOT FROM THE CITY OF CARMEL, INDIAN, IN 1996, THE POPULATION OF CARMEL, INDIANA WAS 31,808 RESIDENTS. THEIR PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENTS AVERAGED 216 PER YEAR, AND IT WAS 68% OF THEIR ACCIDENTS WERE PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENTS. THEY IMPLEMENTED ROUNDABOUT FIRST PROGRAM AND NOW IN 2022, AT 102,496 RESIDENTS, THEY ONLY AVERAGE 161 PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENTS. THAT'S ONLY 15% FROM 68% TO 15%, AND THEY'VE MORE THAN DOUBLED IN SIZE. THE NUMBER OF PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENTS HAS REALLY DECLINED, SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE THOSE NUMBERS OUT AND SHOW WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT ROUNDABOUTS. IT'S NOT BECAUSE WE LOVE ROUNDABOUTS, IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE SAFER. I MEAN, THE STATISTICS ARE HERE. 
          THE CITY THAT'S IMPLEMENTED, ROUNDABOUTS AND WE'RE GOING BY NUMBERS, REAL DATA AND REAL NUMBERS. SO I JUST WANT TO THROW THAT OUT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE. ALL RIGHT. THANK 
          [6) Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff feedback on the design for the parking lots at Steeplechase and Waterleaf Parks.]
YOU ALL VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX RECEIVER REPORT HOLD DISCUSSION PROVIDES STAFF FEEDBACK ON THE DESIGN FOR PARKING LOTS AT STEEPLECHASE AND WATER LEAF PARKS. GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING YOU ALL SOME UPDATES ON WATERLOO PARK AND STEEPLECHASE PARKING RENOVATIONS, WHICH ARE VERY TRANSFORMATIONAL PROJECTS FOR OUR PARK SYSTEM THAT ARE GOING TO BE INCLUDING NOT ONLY LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, BUT WILL ALSO EFFECTIVELY DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF PARKING WE HAVE FEATURED AT THESE SITES. SO AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO WELCOME JERRY ROMERO OF HDR ENGINEERING TO TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THIS PROJECT. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO I'LL BE WALKING YOU THROUGH SUMMARY OF THE PARKING IMPROVEMENTS FOR WATER LEAF PARK AND STEEPLECHASE PARK. WE'RE GOING TO COVER FOR EACH PARK. WE'RE GOING TO COVER THEIR EXISTING CONDITION. WHAT THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE. SITE PLAN. WE'LL COVER THE SITE PLAN FOR THE PARKS, THE LANDSCAPING PLAN, AND THEN I'LL TOUCH ON THE LANDSCAPING PALETTE. ORNAMENTAL, ORNAMENTAL FENCING, EVE APPROACHES AND WE'LL COVER THE PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION COST. AND WHERE WE ARE WITHIN THE TIMELINE FOR BOTH THESE PARKS. SO WATER LEAF PARK 
          [01:05:13]
IN ITS CURRENT STATE, IT HAS THREE BASEBALL FIELDS, A PLAYGROUND AREA, PUBLIC RESTROOMS, A STORAGE AREA. IT'S A GRAVEL PARKING AREA SURROUNDED BY CONCRETE BOULDERS, AND IT HAS LIMITED PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY THROUGHOUT. NO AVAILABLE HANDICAP PARKING. THERE'S NO PARKING DELINEATION AND LIMITED VEHICLE CIRCULATION. THERE'S ONLY ONE DRIVEWAY TO ACCESS THIS AREA AND SERVES AS BOTH ENTRY AND EXIT, AND THE SURROUNDING TREES THAT ARE PLANTED ARE NOT NATIVE TO THE AREA, AND THERE'S A MINIMAL LIGHTING. FOR THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS OF WATER LEAF. WE'RE PROPOSING NEW ASPHALT PAVEMENT SURFACE WITH PARKING LOT STRIPING FOR ADA PARKING STALLS, 63 TOTAL PARKING STALLS FOR THE PARK, AND A NEW SEVEN FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK WITH RIBBON CURB, ORNAMENTAL METAL FENCING. AND ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAY ACCESS, AND NATIVE LANDSCAPING WITH IRRIGATION, WHICH FOLLOWS THE CITY OF KYLE'S APPROVED LIST OF TREE SPECIES AND NEW LIGHTING, AS WELL AS EV CHARGING STALLS. SO THIS IS A LAYOUT OF THE SITE. PLAN FOR WATER LEAF FOR THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS, AND YOU CAN SEE CLEAR DELINEATION OF THE PARKING SPACES. ADA SPACES ON BOTH. AT BOTH ENDS, WE HAVE THE EV CHARGING STALLS, THE NEW DRIVEWAY WHICH IS TO THE LEFT SIDE PROVIDING A CIRCULATION AROUND THE PARKING LOT WITH A POINT OF ENTRY AND A POINT OF EXIT AND IMPROVED ACCESSIBILITY AND ESTHETICS FOR THE FOR THE PARK, FOR THE LANDSCAPING PLAN, THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE TREES, NEW TREES THAT, LIKE I SAID, FOLLOWING THE APPROVED LIST OF TREE SPECIES FROM THE CITY OF KYLE. SO WE HAVE TREES AT THE FRONT, THREE TREES IN THE BACK AND THE ORNAMENTAL FENCING SURROUNDING THE AREA AS WELL. 
          FOR STEEPLECHASE PARK. IF WE CAN STOP ON THAT ONE REAL QUICK ON WATERLOO PARK, JUST MAKING SURE THE TREES ARE TALL ENOUGH WHERE WE GET A LOT OF SHADING. AND THE REASON WHY IS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU EVER GO TO PARKING LOTS AND I SEE IT A LOT IN SAN ANTONIO ZOO AND HOME DEPOT AND OTHER AREA PARKING LOTS YOU GO TO, PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING OVER THOSE TREE SHADES. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THOSE PARKING SPOTS. BUT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET ENOUGH PARKING SPOTS WITH ENOUGH TREES THAT THAT WILL KEEP THEM FROM HAVING TO FIGHT OVER SPOT. BUT, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY IT ALSO HELPS WITH THE PAVEMENT WE'VE GOT GOING ON. SO IT CREATES A HEAT ISLAND. HAVING THOSE TREES THERE WILL HELP MITIGATE THAT HEAT ISLAND OUT THERE IN THE AFTERNOONS, ESPECIALLY THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY. SO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING TREES THAT ARE TALL ENOUGH TO HELP MITIGATE THAT. PLEASE. YES. YEAH, YEAH. AND TO YOUR POINT, THE SPACING OF THE TREES IS ACCOUNTING FOR THE CANOPY AS WELL. AND ALSO BEING THAT THEY'RE NATIVE TO THE AREA, WE'RE REDUCING MAINTENANCE AS WELL. YEAH IT'S DEFINITELY IMPORTANT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. 
          SO ONTO STEEPLECHASE PARK AND ITS CURRENT CONDITION STEEPLECHASE PARK FEATURES TWO BASEBALL FIELDS A SOCCER FIELD, THREE PARKING AREAS, A DOG PARK, A PLAYGROUND AREA, PUBLIC RESTROOMS, TWO PARKING AREAS THAT ARE SURROUNDED BY WOODEN BOLLARDS, A IT DOES LACK PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY. THERE IS NO DELINEATED HANDICAP PARKING AND NO PARKING STALL DELINEATION AT ANY OF THESE AREAS, SO ALSO LIMITED VEHICLE CIRCULATION AND MINIMAL LIGHTING. FOR THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. I'M GOING TO COVER FOUR DIFFERENT AREAS FOR STEEPLECHASE PARK, AND SO I'LL REFER TO THOSE AS THE DOG PARK, THE MAIN AREA, KIM WAY, AND BASKETBALL COURTS. IN TOTAL FOR ALL THESE FOUR SPACES, WE'RE LOOKING AT 163 PARKING STALLS. 
          SO FOR THE DOG PARK, WE ARE PROPOSING A GRID PAVER SURFACE. ALSO PARKING LOT STRIPING, TWO ADA PARKING STALLS, 15 TOTAL PARKING STALLS, SIX FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK RIBBON CURB, NEW METAL ORNAMENTAL FENCING, NATIVE LANDSCAPING WITH IRRIGATION, NEW LIGHTING SIMILAR FOR THE OTHER THREE. RIGHT? THE SAME SAME COMPONENTS AND SO FOR THE MAIN AREA. TWO ADA PARKING STALLS, TEN TOTAL PARKING STALLS FOR EV CHARGING STALLS, SEVEN FOOT SIDEWALK, NEW RIBBON CURB, 
          [01:10:07]
ORNAMENTAL FENCING, LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING. KIMOI GRID PAVER SURFACE PARKING LOT STRIPING THREE ADA PARKING STALLS, 60 TOTAL PARKING STALLS. NEW SEVEN FOOT SIDEWALK DRIVEN CURB, ORNAMENTAL FENCING, LANDSCAPING WITH IRRIGATION LIGHTING AND BASKETBALL COURTS AREA. ALSO NEW GRID PAVER SURFACE PARKING LOT STRIPING FOR ADA PARKING STALLS 63 TOTAL PARKING STALLS, SEVEN FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK RIBBON CURB, ORNAMENTAL FENCING, LANDSCAPING WITH IRRIGATION AND NEW LIGHTING. SO THE ONLY AREA HERE WITH A ASPHALT SURFACE WOULD BE THE MAIN AREA AND I'LL COVER THAT, BUT IT'S AT THE INTERSECTION WITH KIM WAY, SO I'LL SHOW YOU GUYS THE LAYOUT FOR THAT. SO HERE IN THESE PICTURES YOU'LL SEE THE DUAL PORT CHARGING STATION WITH CHARGEPOINT, WHICH IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS AN OPTION. AND ALSO TO THE RIGHT THERE'S THE GRID PAVER SURFACE, WHICH ACTS AS A NATURAL GROUND SURFACE, ALLOWING WATER TO SEEP THROUGH. TO THE TOP IS THE PROPOSED LIGHTING MODEL FOR STEEPLECHASE AND WATERLEAF. SO THIS IS THE LAYOUT FOR THE DOCK PARK AREA AT STEEPLECHASE PARK. AS I MENTIONED, THE GRID PAVER SURFACE DELINEATED PARKING, DELINEATED ADA SPACES, IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY, CROSSWALK. SO IMPROVED SAFETY AT THE PARK AS WELL. LANDSCAPING FOR THE DOG PARK. JUST SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE OF THE SPACING OF THE TREES. AGAIN, ALL OF THE TREES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ARE GOING TO BE MEETING CANOPY AND REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS FOLLOWING THE CITY APPROVED LISTS OF TREE SPECIES. FOR THE MAIN AREA HERE AT CAMERON DRIVE. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE WITH ASPHALT SURFACE, AND IT DOES FEATURE FOR EV PARKING STATIONS, AS WELL AS ADA PARKING. IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY, NEW SIDEWALK AND GOING TOWARDS THE EAST. SORRY WEST. SORRY LANDSCAPE PLAN. SO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR THE MAIN AREA AGAIN TREE CANOPY. LIST OF TREE SPECIES WHICH I'LL COVER HERE. THE PALETTE IN JUST IN JUST A BIT. AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE OVER TO THE EAST FOR KIM WAY. SO KIM WAY IT'S IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION IS A GRAVEL SURFACE. IT LOOKS LIKE A RESIDENTS IN THE AREA PARKED THERE FOR SOME OF THE EVENTS. THIS IS FRONTING THE SOCCER FIELDS AT STEEPLECHASE. AND SO THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS HERE ARE DELINEATED. PARKING WITH ADA STRIPING, PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, SIDEWALK AND FENCE RUNNING ALONG THIS PARKING AREA, WHICH DOES IMPLEMENT OPENINGS, FENCE OPENINGS THROUGHOUT TO AVOID INTERRUPTING ACCESS TO PEDESTRIANS. SO HERE'S THE LANDSCAPING PLAN AGAIN. TREES MEETING SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS. 
          CANOPY REQUIREMENTS. AND THE BASKETBALL COURT AREA. ANOTHER GRID PAVER SURFACE. SIMILAR SCENARIO HERE. ADDITIONAL SIDEWALK. ADA PARKING. AND WE HAVE PROVIDED CONNECTIONS TO THE ADJACENT COMMUNITY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH NEW SIDEWALK THAT TIES IN TO THE EXISTING SIDEWALK THERE TO THE NORTH ON ON THE ON THE PAGE HERE, AS WELL AS AS A CROSSWALK TO PROVIDE CONNECTIVITY FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE PARKING LOT BACK TO THE EXISTING SIDEWALK. LANDSCAPING PLAN. JUST THE LAYOUT OF THE TREE SPACING THERE. THAT'S IT. AND THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE PALETTE. AGAIN, THIS IS COMING FROM THE CITY OF KYLE'S APPROVED LIST OF TREE SPECIES. CAN YOU GO BACK TO LANDSCAPING PLAN? WE DIDN'T GET THAT IN OUR BACKUP. I DIDN'T GET TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. 
          THIS ONE HERE? YEAH, THAT ONE RIGHT THERE. I DON'T HAVE THAT ONE. YEAH. AND WHAT YOU SEE AS 
          [01:15:02]
WELL IN GRAY IS ALSO GOING TO BE NEW SOD AROUND THOSE, THOSE TREES AS WELL OKAY. THAT'S GOOD. 
          YEAH I DON'T HAVE THAT IN MY BACKUP. SO THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. SO THE LANDSCAPING PALETTE THERE AND THEN FOR ORNAMENTAL FENCING AS I AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, IT'S A METAL BLACK FENCING. IT DOES PROVIDE IMPROVED ESTHETICS TO THE PARK. AND WE'LL WE'LL FEATURE OPENINGS THROUGHOUT TO ALLOW FOR PEDESTRIAN ACCESS IN DIFFERENT AREAS INCLUDING MULTIPLE OPENINGS ACROSS ALONG THE SOCCER FIELDS, BASKETBALL COURTS SO THAT WE DON'T INTERRUPT ACCESS. 
          SO FOR THE EV APPROACHES, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT. SO WE'RE EXPLORING DIFFERENT CHARGING OPTIONS, BUT NO DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. WE'RE EXPLORING OPTIONS SUCH AS CHARGEPOINT. IT'S A DUAL POINT, DUAL PORT CHARGING RESIDENTIAL STYLE CHARGERS, OR SIMPLY INSTALLING THE UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FUTURE DECISION BEING MADE. TO HELP WITH THIS, THE CITY OF KYLE WILL BRING IN A CONSULTANT TO ASSIST WITH DUE DILIGENCE, AND WE'LL ALSO BE WORKING WITH THE CITY OF KYLE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND INCORPORATING COMMUNITY FEEDBACK FOR A MORE BALANCED SOLUTION. AND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OPINION OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COST WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS A TOTAL FOR WATER LEAF AND STEEPLECHASE, ALSO INCLUDING CONTINGENCY COSTS. ONE THING TO NOTE HERE IS THE. SO WE HAVE LEARNED SOME NEW INFORMATION FROM THE ELECTRICAL PROVIDER REGARDING WATER LEAF. AND THERE IS FOR THE EV PARKING THERE WOULD BE AN ADDED COST THAT IS NOT SHOWN HERE. ABOUT $72,000 TO INSTALL A NEW PRIMARY UNDERGROUND LINE THAT WOULD PROVIDE POWER TO THE EV CHARGING STALLS THAT ARE PROPOSED IN WATER LEAF. FOR THE REST OF THESE CIVIL LANDSCAPE, ELECTRICAL EROSION CONTROL. 
          TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR EACH PARK. PROJECT TIMELINE. SO THIS IS OUR VIEW OF THE OF THE PROJECT. AND FOR BOTH PARKS THEY'RE RUNNING CONCURRENTLY. AND WHERE WE SIT TODAY IS GETTING CLOSE TO FINISHED WITH THE 100% DESIGN. AND WE'LL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH SUBMITTAL FOR A SIDEWALK PERMIT APPLICATION. SO GOING THROUGH THIS TIMELINE, WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND TO INTO BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION. SO OVERALL THE PROJECT WOULD BE ASSUMING WE CAN GET APPROVAL, CONSTRUCTION COULD BEGIN AS SOON AS DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR. WE ANTICIPATE A 4 TO 6 MONTH CONSTRUCTION PROCESS. AND GLAD TO TAKE ANY FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS? YEAH. RIGHT. TO YOUR LEFT I WAS GOING TO SAY COUNCIL MEMBER ZUNIGA. I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE SOME FEEDBACK. CUSTOMERS, DO YOU WANT TO GO FIRST? YEAH. I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION. I THINK I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER RIZZO HAVING SOME SHADE DENSITY AROUND THAT PARKING LOTS. IT'S BENEFICIAL FOR THE RESIDENTS AND FOR PARKING. OF COURSE, I DO WANT TO ASK BRIAN IF THIS IS POSSIBLY A PROJECT THAT COULD BE DONE IN-HOUSE, SINCE IT'S A MOSTLY PARKING LOT, COULD WE GET THAT AS AN OPTION JUST TO SEE, YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S SOMETHING STAFF COULD HANDLE OR, YOU KNOW, BID IT OUT? THAT'S IT. I'M SURE WE CAN CERTAINLY TAKE A LOOK AT HAVING AN IN-HOUSE CREW DO THE WORK. HOWEVER, IF WE WERE HAVE THE IN-HOUSE CREW DO THAT WORK, THEN THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER PROJECT, ANOTHER CITY PROJECT THAT WOULD NOT GET DONE. SO THERE WOULD BE AN OFFSET TO THAT. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE TECHNICAL DETAILS OF THE WORK I'D HAVE TO GET WITH THE DESIGN FIRM AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. WE CAN CERTAINLY EXPLORE THAT TO SEE KIND OF WHAT WOULD BE THE OFFSET FOR HAVING A CITY CREW TRY TO DO THAT TYPE OF WORK. I'M NOT SURE IF WE'VE GOT ALL THE RIGHT TECHNICAL DETAILS ON THAT. WE CAN LOOK AT IT. OKAY, BUT THERE WOULD BE AN OFFSET IF THEY DID THIS PROJECT. THERE'S SOME OTHER PROJECT THAT WOULD NOT BE DONE BY THE CREW. ALL RIGHT. 
          QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. COUNCILMEMBER MCKINNEY, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I DON'T THINK I 
          [01:20:04]
COULD POSSIBLY BE LESS EXCITED ABOUT EV CHARGING STATIONS. UNLESS YOU CAN CONVINCE ME THAT IT WILL BE A POSITIVE NET REVENUE FOR THE CITY. I JUST YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF POSITIVE THINGS FOR, YOU KNOW, THE OWNERSHIP OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES. I'M NOT GOING TO DEBATE THAT, BUT I DON'T SEE A REASON THAT OUR RESIDENTS SHOULD BE SUBSIDIZING THE FUEL FOR. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER. IT'S RELATIVELY LOW COST TO INCLUDE THIS INTO OUR SCOPE OF DESIGN AT THIS JUNCTURE. SO WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH AT LEAST DESIGNING IT IF IT'S AN OPTION. BUT I THINK THERE'S A SORT OF A LARGER SCOPE CITYWIDE LOOK INTO THIS DOING SOME DUE DILIGENCE. IT'S GOING TO BE LED BY OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND JUST WEIGHING THE PROS AND CONS AND SCENARIOS. WHAT'S WHAT'S SUITABLE FOR SOMETHING AT A FIVE NODE VERSUS SOMETHING MAYBE IN A DOWNTOWN AREA THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT TIERS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES. SOME MIGHT SERVICE PUBLIC, SOME COULD BE SESSION BASED CHARGING. AND WE'D ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD BE OUR PHILOSOPHY FOR EVEN THE INTERNAL ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING OPPORTUNITIES. SO WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH IT. BUT FOR DESIGN BECAUSE ECONOMIES OF SCALE. WE'RE SO GOOD ON THIS. YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT BE LIKE AN ADD ALTERNATE THAT WE CAN CONSIDER AT THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, WHICH WOULD ALSO COME BEFORE YOU AT A LATER DATE. 
          YEAH, THAT'S I THINK THAT WAS THE POINT I WAS GOING TO EMPHASIZE TO THE COUNCIL IS WE'LL HAVE THIS AS A BID ALTERNATE. SO YOU'LL SEE THE BASE BID AND THEN HERE'S THE COST. IF YOU ADD THE EV CHARGING STATIONS. SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT DELTA IS AND IF IT'S VALUABLE ENOUGH. I KNOW THERE'S DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT THE USE OF THOSE, BUT THAT WAY WE CAN AT LEAST BRING IT TO YOU AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S THAT NUMBER? WHAT'S THE REAL COST TO IT COULD BE EXPENSIVE OR PERHAPS NOT THAT NOT EVERYBODY AGREES WITH ME. I JUST YEAH, WELL, PUT THAT OUT THERE TO COUNTER ON YOURS IN THERE. YOU NEVER KNOW. YOU COULD HAVE SOMEBODY THAT SAYS, WELL, I NEED TO CHARGE MY CAR AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO THE PARK, AND THEY'LL USE THAT SLOT. THAT SLOT COULD BE USED FOR RESIDENT THAT REALLY WOULD NEED IT. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SIX CHARGING STATIONS. AND YOU GOT PEOPLE KNOW LIKE, HEY, I CAN GO TO THIS AREA OVER HERE, SIT THERE FOR AN HOUR AND CHARGE MY CAR OR TWO. YOU KNOW THAT THAT IS NOT BENEFICIAL FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO USE THE PARK, BECAUSE THAT'S TWO, 2 OR 3 SPOTS THAT COULD BE USED BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT IT'S THERE. SO AND LOOK, I DON'T ALWAYS AGREE WITH EVERYTHING, BUT, YOU KNOW, I CAN SEE THAT YOU MAKE A REALLY GOOD POINT. 
          WHAT I WOULD PROBABLY CONSIDER IS EXPLORING IT. BUT THE OTHER THING WOULD BE ALSO WORKSTATIONS. THERE'S CONTAINED SOLAR POWERED WORKSTATIONS THAT WE COULD PUT OUT THROUGH OUR TRAIL SYSTEM. THAT'S PART OF THE VIBE TRAIL THERE, WHERE PEOPLE COULD COME OUT AND OFFICE, HAVE WI-FI, BUT IT'S ALSO SOLAR POWERED, SO SELF-CONTAINED. YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THAT UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS, BUT YOU CAN CHARGE SMALL ELECTRIC VEHICLES LIKE GOLF CARTS, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE TRAIL THROUGH THERE. ANY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SCOOTERS, PEOPLE, LAPTOPS, A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. I MEAN, THESE ARE STATIONS THAT WILL BE SELF-CONTAINED, DON'T HAVE A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY PROBABLY MORE BENEFICIAL THAN HAVING THE EV CHARGING STATIONS THERE. THE OTHER THING IS THAT PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY WORK THERE. IF ANYTHING THAT COVID TAUGHT US IS THAT WE HAVE A NEED FOR OUTDOOR SPACE, ESPECIALLY AS PEOPLE ARE WORKING FROM HOME MORE OFTEN NOW TO HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO AND WORK UNDER THIS WORKSTATION AND BE ABLE TO CHARGE AND HAVE WI-FI WOULD BE PROBABLY GREAT FOR THEM. YOU KNOW, IT'D BE AN ASSET FOR OUR CITY, BUT SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE US TO EXPLORE AS A CITY. 
          ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS, COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT 
          [7) Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding a Phase 2 update of the comprehensive feasibility study for the City of Kyle Animal Care Center.]
UP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING A PHASE TWO UPDATE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE CITY OF KYLE ANIMAL CARE CENTER. MR. ELIZONDO, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. TONIGHT WE HAVE AN UPDATE FOR YOU ON THE FULL FEASIBILITY STUDY THAT WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF FOR THE ANIMAL CARE CENTER FOR THE CITY OF KYLE. FOR ANYONE WATCHING THAT MAY NOT KNOW, IN JANUARY, WE KICKED OFF THIS FULL FEASIBILITY STUDY WITH JACKSON AND RYAN, WHO IS HERE WITH US TONIGHT. IN APRIL, WE GAVE A PRESENTATION ON JUST THE PHASE ONE, WHICH WAS THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, COMMUNITY INPUT OPERATIONS AND DATA ANALYSIS, THE FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTS OF IT. 
          TODAY WE ARE BRINGING YOU PHASE TWO, WHICH IS THE FULL SITE EVALUATION AND THE OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY. I'LL HAVE A TIMELINE AT THE END, BUT ULTIMATELY PHASE THREE WILL BE THE WRAP UP. WE'LL COME BACK ONE MORE TIME WITH A FULL REPORT THAT INCLUDES ALL OF THESE, AS WELL AS REGULATORY AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS. AS WE TAKE THE STEPS TO MOVE FORWARD INTO GETTING A CONTRACT FOR FULL DESIGN. SO TODAY WITH US, WE HAVE JACKSON, RYAN, KIM HANSEN, WHO'S BEEN THEY'VE BEEN INCREDIBLE PARTNERS, HER AND HER FIRM IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR OWN BRIANNA GEDDES HERE IN CASE WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ACTUAL ANIMAL SERVICES THAT WE'RE DOING IN THE CITY. HER AND HER TEAM HAVE BEEN 
          [01:25:02]
INCREDIBLE IN WORKING WITH THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, BUT I'LL HAND IT OVER TO KIM FOR HER TO WALK THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AGAIN, AS YOU SAID, I'M KIM HANSON WITH JACKSON RYAN ARCHITECTS, AND WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE PHASE TWO OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE NEW ANIMAL CARE FACILITY FOR THE CITY OF KYLE. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH SITE EVALUATION, WHICH WAS THE FIRST PORTION OF THIS PHASE. WE LOOKED AT SIX DIFFERENT PROPOSED SITES ACROSS THE CITY OF KYLE, AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THEM WITH SEVERAL LISTED PARAMETERS TO CONSIDER THEIR APPROPRIATENESS FOR A NEW FACILITY. AND ONE OF THE MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS WE WERE LOOKING AT WAS WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS IN A FLOOD ZONE, OR HOW MUCH OF THE SITE WAS IN A FLOOD ZONE. THE STAKEHOLDERS, AS WELL AS COMMUNITY INPUT PERIOD, HAD TOLD US THAT CONNECTION TO WALKING TRAILS, ACCESS TO NATURE WAS ESSENTIAL FOR THIS NEW FACILITY. PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT. SO WE WERE LOOKING AT THAT. THE INITIAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT TOLD US THAT A 4 TO 6 ACRE SITE WAS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO FIT ALL OF THE NEEDS FOR THE FACILITY. ALSO, WE DETERMINED DURING THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT VISIBILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY WERE GOING TO BE ESSENTIAL SO THAT SERVICES WERE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO NEEDED THEM. AND THEN FINALLY, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THESE SITES, WE WERE ALSO QUESTIONING, MAKING SURE THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO BE COMPETING WITH ANY OTHER PLANNED PROGRAMS FOR THOSE SITES. SO AS WE EVALUATED THE SITES FOR THOSE PARAMETERS, WE CAME TO THE SITE TWO AS BEING THE SITE THAT MOST CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH ALL OF THOSE PARAMETERS. WE ALSO FOUND THAT DURING OUR PUBLIC INPUT PERIOD, MOST PEOPLE WERE LEANING TOWARDS THIS SITE AS WELL. SO WE FOUND SOME COMPATIBILITY WITH THAT. THE SITE ITSELF IS QUITE LARGE, SO WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT THE WHOLE OF IT. IT WOULD BE A PORTION OF IT. IT HAS EXCELLENT VISIBILITY AND ACCESS. THIS IS VISIBILITY THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE FROM BEBE AS WELL AS FROM DACY LANE. WE DON'T HAVE THE ISSUES WITH THE FLOODPLAIN IN THAT SITE. THE CITY ALREADY OWNS THE SITE, SO THAT'S A GOOD COST CONSIDERATION. AND ALSO IT ADDRESSED THE DESIRE TO CONNECT TO AMENITIES AND NATURE BY THE TRAIL ON THAT AND THAT LOCATION. 
          SO WE PROCEEDED TO LAY OUT A SITE PLAN THAT FIT ONTO THIS SITE. AND THIS IS A 7.3 ACRE PORTION OF THE SITE. AND THAT JOINS TO DACEY LANE AND SUNFLOWER CIRCLE. THIS IS A, AS I SAID, A PROPOSED SITE FOR THIS THAT THE BUILDING AREA ITSELF IS APPROXIMATELY 25,000FT■!S AND THAT'S CONDITIONED AREA. AND THEN WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT HERE WAS HOW WE COULD REALLY MAXIMIZE VISIBILITY ALONG DACEY LANE, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO REALLY SEE THE FACILITY, UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE COMING TO MAKE IT A VERY PUBLIC FACE, AND THEN UTILIZE SUNFLOWER CIRCLE TO PULL TRAFFIC OFF OF DACEY LANE AND HAVE THE ENTRANCES OFF OF SUNFLOWER CIRCLE SO THAT WE WEREN'T CREATING ADDITIONAL CONGESTION ALONG DACEY LANE. IF THERE WERE LARGER ADOPTION EVENTS OR VACCINATION EVENTS, FOR EXAMPLE. SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT ON THE SITE PLAN IS SEPARATING THE PUBLIC ACCESS FROM THE STAFF ACCESS SO THAT WE HAVE A VERY VISIBLE PUBLIC FRONT, BUT ALSO HAVE A STAFF ACCESS POINT THAT CAN BE SECURED AND ALLOWS A LOT OF BACK OF HOUSE FUNCTIONS TO OCCUR WITHOUT BEING PART OF THAT PUBLIC ACCESS. THIS IS A ZOOM IN TO THE ACTUAL BUILDING PLAN. WE HAVE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT A LOT OF STAKEHOLDER INPUT THAT WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING THROUGHOUT THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC INPUT THAT WE GOT DURING THAT PROCESS. AND WE'LL WALK THROUGH A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON CERTAIN COMPONENTS OF THE BUILDING. BUT JUST IN A GENERAL OVERVIEW AT THIS, THE SCALE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE, WE ARE ACCOUNTING FOR APPROXIMATELY 41 DOGS. THAT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR QUARANTINE OR MEDICAL ISOLATION AND 36 CATS. LET'S SEE. AND THIS NUMBER HAS SHIFTED AS WELL. 
          THROUGHOUT OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT. WE'VE HAD ACQUIRED SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM BOTH THE CITY OF KYLE, SAN MARCOS REGIONAL THAT ALLOWED US TO MODIFY THESE NUMBERS TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MEET BOTH CURRENT NEEDS PROGRAMING GOALS AS WELL AS FUTURE GROWTH. AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS REPRESENTING. CURRENTLY, I'M GOING TO ZOOM IN TO THE KIND OF PUBLIC ENTRY POINT, ANOTHER POINT THAT WE HAVE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WITH STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK AND COMMUNITY INPUT IS THE SEPARATION OF BOTH THE ADOPTION LOBBY AND THE INTAKE LOBBY. THE ADOPTION LOBBY PROVIDES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A JOYFUL, VERY WARM EXPERIENCE WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN COME AND DO SOMETHING THAT'S VERY EXCITING AND CELEBRATORY, AND THEN THE INTAKE LOBBY CAN SOMETIMES HAVE HARDER CONVERSATIONS FOR PUBLIC 
          [01:30:02]
SURRENDER, ETC. AND SO WE CAN HAVE A CALMER, MORE SOOTHING ENVIRONMENT AND THAT AND JUST PULL THOSE FUNCTIONS APART. SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOKED AT IN THE LAYOUT WAS SEPARATING THOSE TWO FUNCTIONS. AS WAS MENTIONED BEFORE, WE ARE ALSO VERY FOCUSED ON PROVIDING A MULTI-PURPOSE COMMUNITY SPACE THAT PROVIDES A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY FOR PROGRAMING GOALS. FOR THE CITY OF KYLE, THIS CAN BE PUBLIC FUNCTION, EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH AS WELL AS COLLABORATIONS WITH WITH PARTNERS TO BRING IN ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND AS YOU SEE IN YELLOW OVER HERE, THAT IS OUR PROPOSED SPACE FOR THE VETERINARY CLINIC, WHICH IS ANOTHER THIS WAS THE MOST TALKED ABOUT THING IN OUR COMMUNITY INPUT AND HAS BEEN AN ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR NEEDS. ASSESSMENT PROCESS IS PROVIDING EFFECTIVE VETERINARY CARE FOR THE ANIMALS IN THE CARE OF THE CITY OF KYLE. THIS ALLOWS US ALSO TO LOOK AT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT FOR BEING ABLE TO, TO TREAT AND CARE FOR MORE DIFFICULT CASES AS THE CITY GROWS AND MOVES FORWARD. AND THEN FINALLY, I JUST WANTED TO LOOK AT A ZOOMED IN SNAPSHOT FOR AN ADOPTION AREA. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS AN ADOPTION CORRIDOR THAT RUNS ALONGSIDE TWO DIFFERENT ADOPTION ROOMS, HOUSING FIVE FIVE DOGS APIECE. IT GIVES A LOT OF VISIBILITY AND SEPARATION FOR PEOPLE TO MOVE THROUGH THE SPACE, WITHOUT CREATING ADDITIONAL REACTIVITY AND STRESS. FOR THE DOGS, THESE ARE THESE ARE VERY SIZABLE HABITATS THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE LARGER BREEDS OF DOGS. ALL OF THESE SPACES WERE DESIGNED WITH THE BEST PRACTICES AND HIGHEST STANDARDS OF ANIMAL WELFARE IN MIND. THEY'RE ADJACENT TO PLAY YARDS. THEY HAVE ACCESS TO DAYLIGHT, TO FRESH AIR. AND SO THERE WAS A LOT OF CONSIDERATION PUT INTO THE ACTUAL ANIMAL HABITAT SPACES. AND SO IN LOOKING AT ALL OF THESE THINGS, I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE, THESE ARE ALL ELEMENTS THAT WE HAVE HAVE FOUND AS IMPORTANT TO STAKEHOLDERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGHOUT THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS. AND IN THIS SECOND PHASE OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT RECENTLY, WE'RE LOOKING AT OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY. AND THAT'S BEEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT, AGAIN, ALL OF THIS STAKEHOLDER AND COMMUNITY INPUT AS WELL. SO IN LOOKING AT OPERATIONAL COSTS, I WANTED TO START JUST BRIEFLY WITH THE REVENUE. WE'RE LOOKING AT APPROXIMATELY APPROXIMATE 127,000 ANNUAL OPERATIONAL REVENUE. AND AS WELL AS A ONE TIME FUNDRAISING CAPACITY FOR THE BUILDING, INCLUDING NAMING RIGHTS IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS OF THE FACILITY. THAT COULD BE 600,000 TO 1 MILLION FOR THAT ONE ONE TIME COST. AND THEN WE EVALUATED ANNUAL EXPENSES, INCLUDING STAFFING, EQUIPMENT AND ALL OF THE THINGS LISTED UP HERE, AND ALSO RECOVERED THE COSTS FOR THE SAN MARCOS AGREEMENT. AND YOU CAN SEE AN ANNUAL EXPENSE ESTIMATE AT THIS POINT OF 1.67 MILLION. AND THEN FINALLY, I WANTED TO LOOK AT CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATES. 
          JUST LOOKING AT AGAIN, THIS IS BASED OFF OF THE FINDINGS FROM THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT WE HAVE DETERMINED SO FAR, WHAT THE NEEDS AND WANTS AND DESIRES ARE FOR THE CITY OF KYLE TO PRODUCE A FACILITY THAT CAN ADDRESS THE CURRENT NEEDS AS WELL AS POPULATION GROWTH, PROGRAMMATIC DESIRES THAT WE HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY. THERE IS A LOT THAT'S PACKED INTO THIS, AND WE'VE PROVIDED RIGHT NOW SOME RANGES BASED OFF OF THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN THAT LOOK AT VARIABILITY FOR SITE WORK, WHICH WOULD BE SOLIDIFIED DURING A ACTUAL DESIGN PHASE, AND GEOTECHNICAL REPORTS, ETC. WE'RE LOOKING AT BUILDING CONSTRUCTION COSTS RANGING FROM 400 TO $500 A SQUARE FOOT. AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT APPROXIMATE SOFT COSTS OF ABOUT 30 TO 35%, WHICH WOULD ALSO INCLUDE A LOT OF THE VETERINARY EQUIPMENT, ANIMAL HOUSING EQUIPMENT. SO IT IS ALL INCLUSIVE OF WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR THIS FACILITY. AND AGAIN, THIS IS BASED OFF OF LARGE. THIS IS BASED OFF OF GROWTH FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT'S BASED OFF OF THE DESIRE TO PROVIDE A HIGH LEVEL OF CARE FOR THE ANIMALS AND BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE POPULATION GROWTH. 
          AND WE HAD ONE MORE IN THERE. YEAH. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE HERE. AND JUST AS A FINAL NEXT STEP, SLIDE HERE, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT OF A TIMELINE. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FIRST TWO PHASES THAT WE'VE WALKED THROUGH ARE THE LARGEST MOST INTENSIVE PHASES. THE NEXT ONE FOR REGULATORY AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS WILL BE COMING BACK WITH A FULL REPORT FINISHING UP THE FEASIBILITY STUDY IN JUNE OR AUGUST TO COUNCIL AND THEN AUGUST THROUGH SEPTEMBER. WE'LL BE LOOKING SORRY IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER, SORRY. AND THEN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER WE'LL BE LOOKING TO MOVE TOWARD GETTING TOGETHER A FINAL DESIGN CONTRACT AND BRINGING IT TO COUNCIL. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT FULL DESIGN BEING COMPLETE SOMETIME IN 2026 AND FULL CONSTRUCTION IN 2027. 
          [01:35:06]
THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PARTNERSHIPS, BOTH MUNICIPAL AND WITH THE COUNTY, AND ALL OF THOSE WILL BE NEGOTIATED AND BUILT TOGETHER AS WE GO INTO DESIGN. THAT WAY THAT WE DON'T GET BEHIND WITH ANY OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER WE'RE PARTNERING WITH AND HOWEVER WE'RE PARTNERING, IT'S FULLY RIGHT SIZED AS WE GO INTO BILL, THAT'S ALL WE HAVE. AND IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US, ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. ELIZONDO OR THE PRESENTER? JESSE, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALL TO ALL OF YOU, ALL THAT PUT THE WORK INTO THIS. YOU KNOW, WE WERE IN A CRUNCH WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE HAVING TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR OUR ADOPTION CENTER WHEN SAN MARCOS DECIDED TO GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE. SO WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. WE'RE GOING TO BUILD THIS IN REAL TIME. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. AND THAT'S WHAT THE CITY OF KYLE DOES. WE BUILD WE WHEN WE SEE THAT WE HAVE A NEED AND WE HAVE TO ADDRESS IT. I'M GLAD THAT WE HAVE A COUNCIL THAT SEES THAT. BUT A STAFF, AN AMAZING STAFF THAT CAN GET THAT DONE. I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HARD WORK. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. 
          ANYONE ELSE? YES. YEAH. GO AHEAD SIR. YEAH. THANK YOU. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO JESSE. BRIANNA ON THE PRESENTER. I FORGOT YOUR NAME. I'M FROM I'M WATCHING YOUR VIDEO, SO I. I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE THOUGHTFULNESS AND THE FACILITY USE. BEST USE THE RELOCATION OF THE LOBBY TO THE FRONT END AND THE BACK END TO ALLOW THOSE ACCESS POINTS. I THINK THOSE ARE GOING TO BE CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT TO FACILITATE REALLY STRONG ADOPTION CENTER, BECAUSE, I MEAN, AS OUR COUNCIL MEMBER HAS SAID, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS AND OUR CITY NEEDS AS WE GROW, AND IT'S A RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING BEST BY THE WELFARE OF OUR ANIMALS WHO NEED ADOPTION. SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, ANIMALS JUST EITHER GET ABANDONED OR THEY LOSE THEIR OWNER OR WHATEVER THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES ARE. AND SO WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A FACILITY WHERE PEOPLE HAVE A, A CHANCE TO, TO GO AND ADOPT, YOU KNOW, ANIMALS THAT MAY, MAY STILL BE ADOPTABLE IF THEY'RE NOT INJURED OR, OR, YOU KNOW, SICK. I KNOW YOU WE'RE TOUCHING ON A GOOD PRACTICE ADOPTION CENTER. AND WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN CAPACITY. SO WHAT WHAT ANALYSIS, I GUESS, HAVE WE DONE ON LENGTH OF STAY, I GUESS IS THE QUESTION THAT THAT I GET FROM MANY COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. 
          IF A DOG GOES INTO THE ADOPTION CENTER THAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND LET'S JUST SAY DOES NOT GET ADOPTED, WHAT WOULD BE THE, I GUESS, THE TIMELINE FOR AN ANIMAL IN AN ADOPTION CENTER THAT UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT GET ADOPTED? WELL, I HEAR MAYBE TWO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS HERE. AND THE FIRST ONE THAT I WANT TO ADDRESS IS THE LENGTH OF STAY. AND SO OUR CAPACITY CALCULATIONS ARE BASED ON AN AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY OF 14 DAYS. THAT'S GOING TO VARY DRAMATICALLY FOR HIGHLY, EASILY ADOPTABLE DOGS, PUPPIES, ETC. AND THEN SOME OF THE DOGS ARE GOING TO HAVE A LONGER LENGTH OF STAY. BUT THE GOAL FOR THE AVERAGE IS 14 DAYS. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THERE'S ANIMALS THAT ARE SICK AND INJURED THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CARE, AND THE GOAL FOR THE FACILITY IS TO DEVELOP THE PROGRAMS AND THE STAFF AND THE OPERATIONAL CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH A NUMBER OF THOSE ANIMALS TO GET THEM TO AN ADOPTABLE PHASE. AND ADDITIONALLY, THERE'S ELEMENTS LIKE QUARANTINE, WHERE WE HAVE COURT CASES AND OTHER PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME THAT WE WOULD ANTICIPATE HAVING SOME LONGER LENGTH OF STAY. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF FOCUS ON ON ON INCREASING LIVE OUTCOMES AND ENSURING THAT EVERY ADOPTABLE ANIMAL HAS IS FINDING A HOME. 
          THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES WITH PARTNERSHIPS AS WELL AS STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMING TO REDUCE LENGTH OF STAY, TO INCREASE VISIBILITY, INCREASED ADAPTABILITY. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL OF THOSE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. BUT THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A IS A 14 DAY LENGTH OF STAY. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. I THINK THE LOCATION IS A IT MAKES SENSE FROM THE PRACTICALITY FUNCTIONAL. HAVING THE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE, HAVING THE CONNECTIVITY OF OUR CITY. AND IT REALLY ADDRESSES WHERE A LOT OF THE AREAS ARE WHERE MANY ANIMALS ARE LOST OR ABANDONED. SO I COMMEND YOUR TEAM STAFF FOR LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, AREAS THAT WERE NOT IN THE FLOOD ZONE WITH PROPERTY ALREADY OWNED BY THE CITY. I THINK THAT THE LOCATION, THE AREA IS, IS GOING TO BE GOLDEN STANDARD FOR, FOR THIS ADOPTION CENTER. SO THOSE ARE MY 
          [01:40:03]
THOUGHTS. THANK YOU MAYOR I GOT ONE REAL QUICK. OKAY. IF WE COULD GO BACK TO THE SLIDE WHERE IT SHOWS THE INTAKE SALLYPORT FLEET AND UP ON TOP WHERE IT SAYS THE BARN. OH YEAH. SITE PLAN. OKAY. THE VERY TOP THERE. THAT'S AN THAT THAT THAT STREET RIGHT THERE WHERE THAT BARN IS BEING PROPOSED. YOU'VE GOT SIX RESIDENTIAL HOMES THAT ARE RIGHT IN FRONT. YOU MEAN ON THE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. OKAY. YEAH. THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE ADJACENT PROPERTY IS, IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE IMPORTANT. AND IF WE NEED TO, TO RELOCATE IN ORDER TO MOVE THAT FURTHER FROM RESIDENTIAL, FOR SURE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT BECAUSE THERE IS A RESIDENT THERE THAT I, THEY, THEY YES, THEY'RE, THEY'RE BUILDING A BRAND NEW HOUSE. OKAY. RIGHT THERE. OKAY. ON THAT ON THAT STREET. SO IT IS KIND OF A PRIVATE DRIVE. BUT THEY ARE SIX RESIDENTIAL HOUSES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. AND IT'S RIGHT THERE ON THE SITE HEARD. AND WE WOULD I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT THIS IS A PRELIMINARY CONCEPTUAL DESIGN. SO ALL OF THIS, ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS COULD BE MOVED FOR THOSE TYPES OF REASONS AND OTHERS. SO OBVIOUSLY THE BARN WOULD MEAN THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO INTAKE HORSES, CATTLE, GOATS, SHEEP, PIGS, THINGS LIKE THAT. RIGHT. 
          OKAY. THAT THAT'S WHAT THAT IS. I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU, IS THAT WHAT THAT IS? NO. USUALLY WHAT WE DO IS A CONTRACT WITH LOCAL RANCHERS. AND FOR ANYTHING LARGE ANIMAL, HORSES, CATTLE, STUFF LIKE THAT, WE'LL HAVE PARTNERSHIPS IN THE AREA. WE'RE GOING TO BUILD PARTNERSHIPS AND EVERYTHING WILL PAY. BUT THEY NEED TO PICK AN ANIMAL UP RIGHT THEN AND THERE. THAT'S WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO. WELL, THEY'LL THEY'LL HAVE CONTRACTS WITH LOCAL FARMERS AND RANCHERS WHERE THEY CAN TAKE IT STRAIGHT THERE IF THEY NEEDED TO TAKE IT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO SHELTER IT. SO IT NOW IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S IN DISTRESS, IT WILL PROBABLY GO THERE BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE A SICK ANIMAL TO A, TO A, YOU KNOW, A APPLY THEM WITH OTHER ANIMALS. RIGHT. SO IT'S IMPORTANT WHETHER IT COMES CATTLE, LIVESTOCK, THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT YOU KNOW, THE PARTNERSHIPS ARE GOING TO BE YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE WHATEVER WE PROGRAM WE PUT INTO THIS, IT'S GOING TO HAVE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BRING IN PARTNERSHIPS WHERE WE CAN GET A LOT OF THE PROGRAMING, GET THE ANIMALS OUT HOUSED. WE'LL LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, VOLUNTEER SERVICES. THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF OPTIONS ON THIS THAT WE CAN LOOK AT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT RUNS GREAT, BUT REALLY IT'S GOING TO BE PROGRAMING. PROGRAMING IS A BIG, BIG PART OF THIS BUILDING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT OVERCAPACITY IN IT. RIGHT. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PARTNERSHIPS I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT WHEN THEY HAVE TO TAKE AN ANIMAL RIGHT THEN AND THERE, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF RANCHERS AND FARMERS OUT THERE AS MUCH. I MEAN, THEY'RE OUT IN THE COUNTRY. CORRECT. AND THAT'S WHERE THEY WOULD. AND SO BUT BUT AS FAR AS THE INTAKE, THAT'D BE A GOOD QUESTION. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE ASKING BECAUSE IT SAYS YOU CAN SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM REALLY QUICKLY. GOOD. STATE STATUTE AND CITY ORDINANCE REQUIRES THAT HAYS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY WHEN IT COMES TO LIVESTOCK. IT'S MORE SO OFFICERS TEMPORARY. YEAH. THEY DON'T HAVE A STRAY OFFICERS, BUT THEY HAVE A CONTRACT WITH A PERSON WHO COMES OUT OKAY. WE MEET HIM ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS WITH SOME OF OUR CASES, SO THEY TAKE IMMEDIATE CUSTODY OF THEM IF WE CAN'T FIND OWNERS. OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. PROBLEM SOLVED. 
          ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I ASK A QUESTION. I'M SORRY. UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN'T TAKE COMMENTS FROM THE GALLERY. I DID WANT TO SAY THAT THAT I NOTICED THAT THE COMMISSIONERS, COMMISSIONERS COHEN AND INGALSBE ARE HERE. AND I KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE ANIMAL ISSUE IS NOT JUST A CITY OF COW PROBLEM. IT'S A REGIONAL PROBLEM. IT AFFECTS IT AFFECTS WIMBERLEY AND EVERYONE, INCLUDING SAN MARCOS. IN FACT, ALTHOUGH I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TRANSITION THIS PROBABLY A LITTLE EASIER THAN THE REST OF US. BUT JUST WITH THAT SAID, I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ONGOING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF PARTNERING ON A LARGER ANIMAL SHELTER. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THE CITY OF KYLE IS ALWAYS OPEN TO OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE EFFICIENCIES OF SCALE AND SOLVE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. AND SO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. I KNOW YOU TWO ARE TRYING TO THE COURT'S TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THIS AS WELL. AND SO I JUST I THINK THE CITY OF COLORADO STANDS READY TO WORK THROUGH ANY PROBLEMS THAT WE CAN SOLVE TOGETHER. SO ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO GO I'M GOING TO JUMP THE CONSENT AND GO TO THE MEET AND CONFER. AND THEN MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK. AND THEN WE'LL GET BACK TO THE ITEMS AT HAND. DOES THAT SOUND GOOD? IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO PULL OUT OF CONSENT? IS THERE ANYTHING? MAYBE YOU GOT A COUPLE. YOU GOT A COUPLE? YEAH. 
          [16) Consider approval of the 2025-2028 Meet and Confer Agreement between the City of Kyle and the Kyle Law Enforcement Association.]
ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP WE'RE GOING TO BRING UP AGENDA ITEM 16. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE 2025 TO 2028 MEET AND CONFER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF KYLE AND KYLE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION. MISS. BAGS HANGING IN THE BACK. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. MAYOR. MAYOR PRO TEM 
          [01:45:02]
COUNCIL, MY NAME IS JULIE BEGGS. I SERVE AS THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FOR THE CITY, LEADING THE HUMAN RESOURCES EFFORTS. I'M PLEASED TO BE HERE TONIGHT WITH MY FRIENDS. WAY IN THE BACK TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME NEWS REGARDING OUR NEGOTIATIONS ON MEET AND CONFER BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE KYLE. CLEAR. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY BEFORE WE BEGIN. KPD OFFICERS ARE COVERED UNDER TEXAS LOCAL MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT CODE. EXCUSE ME. 143 AND AS THAT, IT ALLOWS CITIES TO ENTER INTO, MEET AND CONFER AGREEMENTS WITH ASSOCIATIONS. IN 2008, OUR CITIZENS GAVE THE AUTHORITY THE CITY TO RECOGNIZE AN EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATION AND THE EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATION CHOSEN BY THE CITY'S POLICE OFFICERS IS THE KYLE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION. WE HAVE A CURRENT AGREEMENT WITH THEM THAT ENDS AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR. AGREEMENTS USUALLY ARE LASTING ABOUT THREE YEARS. WE GO THROUGH A MEET AND CONFER PROCESS SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A CONTRACT WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND THOSE USUALLY TYPICALLY ADDRESS THINGS LIKE NEGOTIATIONS, RECRUITMENT, HIRING, COMPENSATION, DISCIPLINE AND APPEALS. BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE TEAM. THIS WORK HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONGER THAN FOUR MONTHS, LED BY, ON THE CITY SIDE, JESSE ELIZONDO, DOCTOR CHIEF BARNETT, CYNTHIA GONZALEZ AND MYSELF. AND FROM THE KYLE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION. 
          WE'VE WORKED WITH SERGEANT MARK SPENCER, WHO IS THE PRESIDENT. IF YOU WOULD RAISE YOUR HAND, PLEASE, KEITH CONGDON, JASON DIBBLE AND DOGGO PATES. AND THEN WE'VE HAD SPECIAL LEADERSHIP AND THANKS FROM OUR CITY MANAGER, MR. BRIAN LANGLEY, OUR CITY ATTORNEY, MISS AMY ALCORN REED, AND OUR DIRECTOR OF CIVIL SERVICE, MISS ROSIE TRUELOVE. WE BEGAN AGAIN IN JANUARY WHEN KYLE INITIATED THEIR DESIRE TO START NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CITY. WE STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER WITH MEETINGS AND HAVE CONTINUED THOSE THROUGH MAY, WHEN CLEA TOOK THEIR FINAL VOTE ON THE PROPOSED CONTRACT. THAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY. WE'RE VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT 90% FAVOR RATING IS WHAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE CALEA, SO ALL PARTIES INVOLVED ARE VERY PLEASED WITH WHAT WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU TONIGHT. AS THE PROPOSED CONTRACT, I'D LIKE TO GO OVER A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS AND THEN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. OUR PROPOSED AGREEMENT THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS A THREE YEAR AGREEMENT. IT IS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR AND RUNS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH. WE DID ALLOW FOR A ONE YEAR CLAUSE THAT WE COULD EXTEND THE AGREEMENT OUT TO SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2029 IF NEEDED, AND WE HAVE KEY PRIORITIES TO INCLUDE THAT. WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT IN MORE DETAIL WITH YOU TONIGHT. THE FIRST IS COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION TESTING AND PROMOTION, RECRUITMENT AND AUGMENTING STAFF SICK VACATION AND HOLIDAY ACCRUALS AND DISCIPLINE. SO THE FIRST ITEM THAT CAME TO THE TABLE RIGHT AWAY WAS OUR COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION. THIS TIME LAST YEAR, WE DID TAKE A LOOK AND WE FOUND OUT THAT OUR KPD OFFICERS WERE NOT PAID IN THE PREMIUM LEVELS OF THE BENCHMARK CITIES AROUND US. THOSE ARE THE TEN CITIES IN OUR REGION THAT WE COMPARE TO ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT PRACTICES AND OPERATIONAL NEEDS. WE HAVE AGREED TO MAKE MARKET ADJUSTMENTS ANNUALLY SO THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO WATCH THAT PAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE COMPETITIVE. WE HAVE ALSO AGREED TO MAKE MARKET ADJUSTMENTS EFFECTIVE OF THE NEW FISCAL YEAR, WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET, TO BRING THEM TO THE TOP THREE POSITION OF OUR AREA FOR ALL RANKS OF OUR OFFICERS, AND ADDITIONALLY, NOT ONLY LOOKING AT COMPENSATION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE COMPETITIVE. 
          THERE IS A GUARANTEE OF 2% INCREASE IN PAY ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THE OFFICERS IN THIS CONTRACT. WE ALSO HAD TO ADDRESS THE FIELD TRAINING OFFICER COMPENSATION. RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT A HANDFUL OF OFFICERS ABOUT READY TO GO THROUGH THE FIELD TRAINING PROCESS, BUT WE'RE SEEING FEWER FIELD TRAINING OFFICERS VOLUNTEERING FOR THOSE ROLES. IT'S NOT BECOME AS DESIRABLE. IT'S A LOT OF WORK, AND IT IS ADDITIONAL WORK THAT THESE OFFICERS TAKE ON. SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING AND AGREEING TO INCREASING THE HOURLY RATE THAT THOSE OFFICERS GET TO A $6,060 SHIFT WHEN THEY DO COMPLETE AN FTO SHIFT WITH OFFICERS. THERE'S ALSO IN THE CURRENT CONTRACT, A PROVISION THAT ANY OFFICER WHO WANTS TO TAKE TIME OFF HAS TO DO THAT WITH A TWO WEEK NOTICE PRIOR TO TAKING THOSE DAYS OFF. IF NOT, THAT TIME IS NOT RECORDED AS PRODUCTIVE TIME ON THEIR PAY SHEET AND THAT AFFECTS THEIR OVERALL COMPENSATION. THIS CREATES A LOT OF A LOT OF HARDSHIPS, NOT ONLY FOR THE OFFICERS TO REMEMBER THAT AND SUBMIT THAT AND GET THE APPROVALS FROM SUPERVISORS WHO MAY BE BUSY ON OTHER CASES, BUT IT ALSO CREATES AN ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN ON THE PAYROLL TEAM. SO WE'VE BOTH AGREED TO REMOVE THAT TWO WEEK CLAUSE OUT OF THE CURRENT CONTRACT BEFORE YOU. AND SINCE ADOPTING THE CURRENT CONTRACT, WE'VE ADDED A SHIFT, A MIDDAY SHIFT THAT WAS NOT REFLECTED IN THE CURRENT CONTRACT THAT WE'RE UNDER. WE WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT IN THE NEW CONTRACT. SO YOU SEE THAT IN THE PROPOSAL THAT THERE IS A SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL, WHICH BEGINS AT 2 P.M, THE BUDGET COMPENSATION THAT I SPOKE OF WILL BE JUST OVER $1 MILLION. THAT GOES THAT SHOWS YOU RIGHT NOW THE MARKET ADJUSTMENTS THAT 
          [01:50:02]
ARE REQUIRED FOR EACH RANK OFFICER, CORPORAL, SERGEANT AND COMMANDER. AND THOSE VARY FROM 8.5% TO 20%, DEPENDING ON RANK AND DEPENDING ON THE BENCHMARK CITY THAT WE LOOKED AGAINST THAT IS FULLY IN. AND YOU WILL SEE THAT AGAIN IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET MOVING FORWARD FOR 2026. 
          THE OTHER ITEM THAT CAME UP WAS TESTING AND PROMOTIONS, BOTH SIDES SIGNIFICANTLY HAD SIGNIFICANT COMMENTS ABOUT OUR TESTING MATERIALS AND REALLY ARGUED THE POINT THAT WE SHOULD SEE MORE MATERIAL RELATED TO LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT. AS THESE OFFICERS PROMOTE. THEY NEED THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HOW TO LEAD OFFICERS. AND SO WE BOTH AGREED THAT WE WANTED TO TAKE A REVIEW OF WHAT WE SEE. AND IF WE WANT TO MAKE CHANGES THAT WILL COME TOGETHER WITH OUR CIVIL SERVICE DIRECTOR, OUR POLICE CHIEF AND KELLY TO AGREE ON THOSE TESTING MATERIALS, WE ALSO HAVE AGREED TO ALLOW THOSE WHO HAVE A TCOLE BASIC OR HIGHER TO BYPASS THE WRITTEN EXAM. 
          THEY'VE ALREADY DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCY THERE, AND SO WE AGREED TO ALLOW THEM TO BYPASS THAT EXAM AGAIN WHEN THEY APPLY FOR A POSITION. BUT THE FITNESS REQUIREMENTS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. AND ALTHOUGH WE DO ALLOW THIS PRACTICE NOW, WE ARE SILENT IN THE CURRENT CONTRACT ABOUT WHEN AN OFFICER CAN RETAKE A TEST IF THEY DON'T PASS IT. SO WE'VE ADDED LANGUAGE THAT CLEARLY SAYS THAT IF THEY DO NOT PASS, THEY MAY TAKE IT AT THE NEXT SCHEDULED PROMOTION CYCLE, WHICH AGAIN ARE A CIVIL SERVICE DIRECTOR INITIATES THROUGH THE COMMISSION AS WELL. AND ANOTHER FINAL PIECE THAT, AGAIN, WE HAVE LEARNED THROUGH TESTING OVER THE YEARS IN THIS CURRENT CONTRACT. 
          CURRENTLY, WE HAVE ASSESSORS COME IN AND ASSIST US WHEN WE'RE DOING PROMOTIONAL TESTING. SO CORPORALS AND SERGEANTS, COMMANDERS, WE ASK AREA COLLEAGUES THAT HAVE CITIES LIKE OURS TO COME IN AND DEMONSTRATE THEIR PROFESSIONALISM AND THEIR EXPERIENCE AT THEIR RANK. WHEN WE'RE ASSESSING OUR OFFICERS, HOWEVER, WE DO NOT ALLOW COUNTIES TO PARTICIPATE. SO LANGUAGE IS NOW INCLUDED THAT IF WE CAN ACCEPT ASSESSORS THAT ARE COMING FROM CITIES WITH AT LEAST 25,000 OR COUNTIES WITH A POPULATION OF 100,000, THIS WILL OPEN UP OUR OPPORTUNITIES TO DO OUR TESTING, TO ALLOW OTHER OFFICERS TO PARTICIPATE, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO COUNTIES. WE ALSO HAVE AGREED TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING PROMOTIONAL POINTS. SO AFTER YOU TAKE THE WRITTEN EXAM, YOU'RE ASSESSED WITH A SCORE ON THAT EXAM, AND ADDITIONAL SCORES MAY BE ALLOWED FOR THE FOLLOWING CIVIL CIVILIAN EDUCATION THAT INCLUDES AN ASSOCIATES ALL THE WAY TO A PHD. AND YOU CAN SEE THE POINTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT MILITARY EXPERIENCE. SO DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF MONTHS THAT YOU SERVED IN, THE MILITARY MAY ALSO ADD POINTS UP TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE. AND THEN YEARS OF SERVICE WITH THE CITY OF KYLE. SO ONE POINT PER YEAR WITH A MAXIMUM OF TEN YEARS WOULD ALL BE ADDED TO YOUR WRITTEN SCORE. AFTER YOU PASS THE WRITTEN SCORE, THE WRITTEN EXAM. EXCUSE ME, WE AGREED TO REMOVE ALL FORMER LANGUAGE ABOUT WEAPON QUALIFICATIONS, KPD FITNESS POLICY AND TCOLE TRAINING HOURS. AND WE ALSO AGREED THAT THE POLICE CHIEF SHALL NOW REQUEST THE NAMES OF ALL THE CANDIDATES WITH A PASSING SCORE TO THE CIVIL SERVICE DIRECTOR. RIGHT NOW, HE'S LIMITED TO DO THAT ONLY THREE PERSONS AT A TIME, AND IT CREATES BACK AND FORTH WHEN HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE ENTIRE LIST. WE ALSO TALKED A LOT ABOUT RECRUITMENT AND AUGMENTING STAFF. SO WE WANT WE WANT TO AGREE TO AND HAVE AGREED WITH THE NEGOTIATING NEGOTIATING TEAM TO REVISE THE LANGUAGE ON LATERAL ENTRY PROGRAMS. RIGHT NOW THAT'S LIMITED TO 180 DAYS. SO IF AN OFFICER LEAVES, THEIR AGENCY RETIRES, MOVES, THEY HAVE 180 DAYS BEFORE THEY CAN COME IN AS A LATERAL ENTRY THAT THAT, IN OUR OPINION, NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO 365 BECAUSE SOMETIMES THOSE DECISIONS TAKE LONGER THAN 180 DAYS TO MAKE. SO WE'VE AGREED TO THAT LANGUAGE, AND WE'VE ALSO AGREED THAT THE POLICE CHIEF MAY APPOINT PART TIME POLICE OFFICERS FOR LIMITED USE. THESE OFFICERS WOULD NOT SERVE MORE THAN 1000 HOURS PER YEAR, AND THEY WOULD NOT HAVE PROTECTION OF CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYMENT. THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A PHYSICAL A PHYSICAL FITNESS. WE ENVISION THESE THESE MIGHT BE OFFICERS WE WOULD USE TO HELP US WITH PARADES OR CEREMONIES AROUND TOWN THAT WOULD NOT TAKE OUR PATROL OFFICERS OFF THE STREETS. SICK VACATION AND HOLIDAY ACCRUAL AND USAGE. WE'VE AGREED TO ADDING THE WORDS A MINIMUM TO REFLECT THAT ALL SWORN RECEIVE A MINIMUM OF 120 HOURS OF SICK LEAVE PER YEAR. WE WANTED TO SOLIDIFY THAT IN THAT CONTRACT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S KIND OF VAGUE. IT DOESN'T SAY A MINIMUM. AND WE ALSO LEARNED THROUGH THIS PROCESS THAT OUR OFFICERS, WHETHER YOU'RE YEAR ONE OR YEAR 25, YOU'RE ACCRUING VACATION AT THE SAME RATE. SO THERE'S NO INCREASE TO YOUR RATE BASED ON YOUR TENURE. WE'VE LINED THIS UP TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE ACCRUAL RATE OF THE CITY OF KYLE EMPLOYEES. SO THE FIRST NINE YEARS THEY WILL CONTINUE TO GET THAT 120, AND THEN THEY WILL SEE A JUMP FOR THEIR TENURE AND SERVICE TO THE CITY OF KYLE FOR 160 HOURS PER YEAR, AND THEN OVER 16, UP TO 200 HOURS PER YEAR. THE OTHER ITEM WE LEARNED DURING THIS PROCESS IS THAT OUR POLICE OFFICERS ARE CAPPED, SO THEY ARE CURRENTLY CAPPED AT 400 HOURS. ACCRUAL OF VACATION AND HOLIDAY HOURS. WE HAVE AGREED TO INCREASE THAT BY 50% TO RAISE THAT TO 600 HOURS, SO THEY DON'T LOSE THE BENEFIT AFFORDED TO 
          [01:55:05]
THEM, AND THEN INCREASE THE VACATION BANK TO 600 HOURS OF ACCRUAL AS WELL. SO AGAIN, THEY DON'T LOSE HOURS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T ADD TO AN ACCRUAL BANK. FINALLY, WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MEET AND CONFER AS RELATED TO DISCIPLINE. AND I'M HAPPY TO PASS THE MIC TO CHIEF IF YOU WANT TO SINCE THIS IMPACTS YOU MOST DIRECTLY. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. JEFF BARNETT, CHIEF OF POLICE. FOR THE RECORD, I'D LIKE TO STATE ON THE ONSET THAT THIS HAS BEEN A REMARKABLE PROCESS TO WORK WITH BOTH SIDES OF THE MEET AND CONFER AGREEMENT. YOU'VE HAD CITY STAFF AND YOU'VE HAD POLICE OFFICERS THAT HAVE REPRESENTED THE CITY WITH THE BEST OF INTENTIONS. WE WANT TO RECRUIT AND HIRE AND RETAIN GOOD, WELL-QUALIFIED POLICE OFFICERS TO CONTINUE TO SERVE. AND BOTH SIDES HAVE SHOWN THAT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. THE ITEMS THAT I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO ABOUT VERY BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR THE CHIEF OF POLICE TO CONTINUE AND EXTEND INVESTIGATIONS FOR THINGS THAT ARE OF IMPORTANCE LONGER THAN THE TYPICAL 180 DAYS. CIVIL SERVICE LAW ALLOWS 180 DAYS FOR A POLICE CHIEF TO TAKE OFFICIAL ACTION AGAINST AN EMPLOYEE FOR A VIOLATION OF AN ALLEGED POLICY VIOLATION OR CRIMINAL ACT. IN MOST CASES, UNLESS WE GET THAT EXTENDED AND OUR MEETING CONFER IS GOING TO BE UPDATED, THAT ALLOWS THE CHIEF SOME ADDITIONAL TIME WITH BOTH THE OFFICERS AND OBVIOUSLY THE OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SUPPORT TO INVESTIGATE MATTERS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US TO MAINTAIN A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP, NOT ONLY WITH THE STAFF, BUT WITH THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. IF THERE ARE CRIMINAL ALLEGATIONS, WE'RE GOING TO EXTEND THAT UP TO ONE FULL YEAR, 365 DAYS. WE'VE GIVEN THE CHIEF THROUGHOUT THE EXTENSIONS THE ABILITY TO PAUSE INVESTIGATIONS IF AN EMPLOYEE BECOMES UNAVAILABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION OR REVIEW OF THEIR ACTIONS, PERHAPS THEY'RE ON MEDICAL LEAVE, THEY'RE ON ACTIVE MILITARY ASSIGNMENT, OR THEY'RE OUT ON LEAVE FOR WORKERS COMPENSATION DUE TO INJURY. WE CAN PAUSE INVESTIGATIONS THAT WAY. WE DON'T. THE TIMELINE DOES NOT EXPIRE, AND THEY'RE NOT UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE, SO THAT THE CHIEF CAN GET A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE ALLEGATIONS, THE INVESTIGATION, THE DETERMINATIONS, AND THEN TAKE THAT ACTION AND DO SO WITHIN OUR NEW MEET AND CONFER AGREEMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE POLICE CHIEF SHALL ABIDE BY THE NEW TIME LIMITS THAT WE SET IN 801. THAT'S REALLY THE EXEMPTIONS THAT I JUST TOLD YOU. AND THEN WE AGREED TO CLEAR UP A PARTICULAR SECTION THAT'S ALREADY REFERENCED IN POLICY AND OUR CIVIL SERVICE LAWS AND OUR CIVIL SERVICE RULES HERE SPECIFICALLY TO CALL. SO WE DELETED A PARTICULAR PARAGRAPH. NOTHING IN HERE. OR LET ME SAY IT DIFFERENTLY, EVERYTHING IN HERE ONLY ENHANCES THE CHIEF OF POLICE'S ABILITY TO INVESTIGATE AND CONCLUDE AN INVESTIGATION WITH NEW EXTENDED TIMELINES, AND I APPRECIATE THE OFFICERS GIVING THAT TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE, BECAUSE THEY ALSO WANT TO WORK WITH WELL QUALIFIED AND OFFICERS WHO DESERVE TO WORK HERE IN THE CITY OF KYLE. THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE ANTICIPATED NEXT STEPS. THE CONTRACT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THE CURRENT CONTRACT DOES EXPIRE AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR, AND THIS NEW CONTRACT WILL BE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST OF THIS YEAR. BEFORE YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT AS RECOMMENDED AS AS PUT BEFORE YOU, YOU COULD NOT APPROVE THE CONTRACT. STAFF DOES RECOMMEND TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT. IF YOU'VE GOT ANY QUESTIONS OF ME, WE'VE GOT REPRESENTATION FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, FROM KPD, FROM KALIA. SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE'VE NOT CLEARED UP, WE CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT FOR YOU NOW. ALL RIGHT. MR. SPENCER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS? MARK SPENCER? MARK SPENCER, PRESIDENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID EVERYTHING. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH THE CITY. IT'S BEEN A VERY COLLABORATIVE EFFORT ON BOTH SIDES, AND WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THIS IS GOING TO MOVE OUR DEPARTMENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SO ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COMMENTS. YEAH. CHIEF, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. JUST SOME CLARIFICATION. JUST HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS DOING AWAY WITH THE TWO WEEK CLAUSE. HOW MANY DAYS DO THE OFFICERS ACTUALLY HAVE TO GIVE TO GIVE TO TAKE SOME VACATION? I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT HAVING INCOMPLETE SHIFTS SO THE OFFICERS CAN CAN REQUEST A DAY OFF, EVEN UP TO THE DAY OF OR THE DAY BEFORE THE MATTER THAT'S BEFORE YOU IN THE MEETING, CONFER ADDRESSES, THEIR COMPENSATION AND HOW THAT TIME IS QUALIFIED AND COUNTED FOR WORK EFFORT. SO THERE'S CURRENTLY A VERY STRINGENT PROCESS FOR THEM TO REQUEST THAT TIME OFF AND THEN GET CREDIT FOR WORK SERVED. OKAY. THIS IS JUST CLEARING THAT UP. THEY CAN STILL ASK FOR TIME OFF. AND IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT STAFFING AND WE CAN ALLOW IT, THAT WILL ALLOW IT. THE DAY BEFORE SAME DAY, I WOULD HAVE TWO OFFICERS DECIDE TO TAKE OFF AT THE SAME TIME. AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT PROCESS WAS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AND THEN HAVING SHIFTS THAT ARE NOT, YOU KNOW, MANNED WOULD BE KIND OF SCARY. YES OR NO. THIS THIS ISN'T A DOESN'T REALLY ADDRESS THAT THAT'S ALREADY COVERED. AND THIS JUST ALLOWS THEM TO TAKE OFF WHEN THEY NEED TO TAKE OFF. AND I LIKE THIS 
          [02:00:04]
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES EMERGENCIES HAPPEN AT HOME. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE FORGET THAT THERE'S A PERSON IN THAT UNIFORM. SO MAKING SURE THEY CAN TAKE OFF AND TAKE CARE OF RESPONSIBILITIES THAT THEY NEED IS IMPORTANT. SO ABSOLUTELY. AND THIS JUST IS REALLY ABOUT HOW WE TRACK THAT TIME OFF REQUEST AND HOW THAT TIME IS COUNTED WHEN THEY'RE ACTUALLY AT WORK. AND IT'S TO THEIR BENEFIT. YES. YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS WAS IT. OH THE COUNTY ONE. SO WE'RE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALLOWING COUNTY OFFICERS TO COME AND APPLY DO THE CRITERIA FOR THE HOURS OF COLLEGE STILL APPLY TO THEM, OR ARE WE LOOKING AT TIME THAT THEY'VE BEEN ON THE JOB. SO THAT PARTICULAR ITEM ISN'T ISN'T SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO COMPARE. BUT I WOULD SAY THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT AGENCY THEY'RE COMING FROM, WHETHER IT'S ANOTHER AGENCY AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR EMPLOYMENT OR TALKING ABOUT FOR ASSESSOR FOR EMPLOYMENT FROM AN EMPLOYMENT STANDPOINT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT AGENCY THEY COME FROM, ALL THE STANDARDS WOULD BE THE SAME AND THE EDUCATION WOULD NOT BE ONE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO CONSIDER. BUT WE WOULD LOOK AT THEIR THEIR YEARS OF SERVICE, THEIR THEIR PLACEMENT IN THE ORGANIZATION. DID THEY HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT DUTIES AS PART OF THEIR ROLE? AND WE WOULD JUST TREAT THEM CONSISTENT WITH AGENCIES ACROSS THE STATE. OKAY. AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS THE PART TIME YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BRINGING IN. ARE THESE GOING TO BE SWORN OFFICERS FROM OTHER AGENCIES, AND IS THERE ANY VETTING GOING ON WITH THAT. SO THEY WOULD UNDERGO THE EXACT SAME BACKGROUND PROCESS IN EVERY STANDARD THAT WE WOULD HOLD TRUE FOR OUR OTHER OFFICERS IS WHAT WE WOULD WANT TO DO FOR THEM AS WELL. THEY WOULD BE CERTIFIED POLICE OFFICERS. THEY WOULD HAVE ARREST AUTHORITY AND POWER. WE ENVISION USING THEM JUST AS MISS BEGGS DESCRIBED, PERHAPS FOR OUR PARADES OR LARGER EVENTS, THE SPECIAL EVENTS THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. CERTAINLY THEY COULD AUGMENT BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS. THEY COULD AUGMENT OUR DETECTIVE DIVISION. BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT AS AN ADDED FORCE, THEY'RE NOT COVERED UNDER THE CIVIL SERVICE, SO THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY PART OF THE AGREEMENT IN THE COVERAGES THAT YOU'VE PROVIDED. IT'S JUST AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ASSOCIATION AND THE CITY THAT THOSE WOULD BE ALLOWED, AND AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY'RE NOT CIVIL SERVICE PROTECTED. SOUNDS GOOD. I APPRECIATE IT AND I'M GLAD THAT EVERYTHING WENT WELL. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR Y'ALL'S WORK AND WORKING WITH THE CITY, ALL THE STAFF THAT WAS A PART OF IT AS WELL. LOOKS LIKE Y'ALL. Y'ALL REALLY DID YOUR HOMEWORK AND WORKED GREAT TOGETHER. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING TO EACH OTHER. IT'S GREAT WHEN YOU CAN BRING SOMETHING LIKE THIS FORWARD AND EVERYBODY AGREES ON IT. THAT MEANS IT'S A GREAT CONTRACT. SO THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER TOBIAS. ALL RIGHT. HE KNEW I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING. AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR AGAIN ALL YOU DO. AND I REMEMBER DEALING WITH THIS KIND OF PROCESS MANY, MANY YEARS AGO. BUT I WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE INCREASES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT PROPOSING FOR THE OFFICERS HERE, AND THIS IS ALSO FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND. I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES YOU HEAR THE RHETORIC THAT ALL THE POLICE WANT IS JUST MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY AND SO FORTH ON THAT END. BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT IN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS. YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT. YOU'RE MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR COMMUNITY, OKAY? THE SAFER YOUR COMMUNITY THAT YOU HAVE BEGINS AGAIN WITH YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT. SO WHEN YOU HAVE A SAFE COMMUNITY, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FAMILIES THAT ARE GOING TO COME HERE. 
          THEY WANT TO SHOP HERE, THEY WANT TO LIVE HERE. THEY WANT TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL HERE. 
          SO WE'RE MAKING THAT INVESTMENT IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. WITH THAT. SECOND OF ALL, YOU'RE MAKING AN INVESTMENT WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT ITSELF, WITH CHIEF BARNETT AND ALSO CHIEF HERNANDEZ BRINGING IN GOOD, TOP QUALITY OFFICERS THAT ARE EDUCATED, THAT ARE WELL TRAINED, THAT HAVE DEGREES AND THAT HAVE SPECIFIC TRAININGS IN DIFFERENT FIELDS. SO YOU'RE MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR DEPARTMENT ITSELF. AND LASTLY, MOST IMPORTANT, THE OFFICERS THEMSELVES, THEY ARE MAKING AN INVESTMENT FOR THEMSELVES. JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. GOD FORBID ONE OF OUR OFFICERS DON'T COME HOME ONE NIGHT. THEY HAVE MADE AN INVESTMENT IN THEIR FAMILY, IN THEIR FINANCES, TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR FAMILY IS TAKEN CARE OF FINANCIALLY AND THEY'RE TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE LONG RUN FOR THEIR FAMILY, THEIR WIVES, THEIR HUSBANDS AND THEIR CHILDREN. SO FROM AN OFFICER'S POINT OF VIEW, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT IN THOSE DIFFERENT EYES. SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THESE INCREASES, I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES YOU'LL HEAR SOME OF THE PUBLIC SAY AGAIN, THEY'RE GIVING THESE OFFICERS A RAISE. I LOOK AT IT A LOT DIFFERENT IN THAT YOU'RE MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN THOSE THREE ASPECTS THERE, MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR THE OFFICERS. SO THAT WAY THEY CAN BE ABLE TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT IF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED, THE FINANCES THAT THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE INVESTED, INCLUDING. AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT YOUR VACATION HOURS HAVE INCREASED BECAUSE IT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU GUYS GET YOUR MENTAL HEALTH DAYS. AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THOSE I VOTED THROUGH TO 
          [02:05:01]
WHERE YOU CAN BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THOSE THOSE SICK DAYS AND ALSO THOSE VACATION DAYS, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BRING YOU BACK AS A BETTER OFFICER WHEN YOU'RE REFRESHED MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY ON THAT END. SO THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? I ONLY HAVE A REALLY JUST ONE THING TO SAY. IT'S IT. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHERE WE STARTED, YOU KNOW, NINE, NINE YEARS AGO, THE EVOLUTION OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY OF KYLE, THERE'S BEEN A CONSISTENT EFFORT AND OBVIOUSLY BEYOND NINE YEARS. BUT TO TRY TO ELEVATE THE STATUS OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND WE'VE I THINK WE'VE JUST HAD THIS MENTALITY THAT THE COUNCIL AS A WHOLE HAS HAD A MENTALITY THAT IF WE WANT TO HAVE A GREAT, A SAFE CITY, WE NEED TO HAVE GREAT OFFICERS. IF WE WANT TO HAVE GREAT OFFICERS, THOSE OFFICERS NEED TO HAVE GREAT FACILITIES, GREAT PAY AND A GREAT CULTURE WITH GREAT RULES AND MEET AND CONFER THAT PROTECT THEM AS WELL AS THAT CULTURE. AND SO IT'S A STEADY GRIND. I KNOW THE MEET AND CONFER AGREEMENTS USED TO BE LIKE ROOT CANALS. YOU KNOW, THEY WERE THEY WERE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. BUT THE WE IT FEELS TO ME LIKE A LOT OF OUR OUR VISION, THE CITY'S VISION THAT ADMIN SIDE AS WELL AS PD SIDE ARE STARTING TO ALIGN BEHIND THIS IDEA OF WE WANT TO WE WANT TO BE IN THE TOP, TOP FACILITIES, TOP PAY, TOP CULTURE, BEST LEADERSHIP AND BEST OFFICERS ON THE GROUND. AND IT'S BEEN REALLY GREAT TO SEE HOW OVER THE YEARS THAT, THAT THAT HAS THAT'S REALLY TRANSPIRED. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT I SEE IN FRONT OF ME NOW, ALTHOUGH THE ONES FROM TEN YEARS AGO, WE A LOT OF SAME OFFICERS ARE STILL HERE, AND I'M SURE THEY WOULD AGREE THAT THE CULTURE HAS CONTINUED TO IMPROVE, THE PROFESSIONALISM HAS IMPROVED, THE PAY IS IMPROVED. YOU KNOW, I THINK PROBABLY YEARS BACK THE CITY WANTED TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THAT HIGHER LEVEL. IT WAS NEVER A MATTER OF DESIRE. IT WAS REALLY MORE OF A MATTER OF ABILITY. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE GROWTH IN THE CITY HAS PRODUCED IS ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION AND GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY. IT'S ALLOWED FOR US TO MAKE THESE REALLY IMPORTANT INVESTMENTS. 
          AND SO MY HOPE IS OVER THE YEARS THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE MENTALITY OF PEOPLE WANT, IF YOU'RE AN OFFICER, THOSE LATERAL TRANSFERS, THEY MATTER BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO COME HERE AND WE WANT TO OPEN UP THOSE DOORS AS WE EXPAND THE DEPARTMENT. SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO ACCOMPLISHING THAT. AND I'M REALLY PROUD. SO I'M PROUD TO VOTE FOR THIS ONE AS WELL. 
          WITH THAT, I WOULD MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY MAYOR, SECOND COUNCIL MEMBER TOBIAS, IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. CONGRATS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A NINE MINUTE BREAK AND RECONVENE. AND PRECISELY ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO GET GOING. THE TIME IS 927 I'M GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING BACK TO ORDER. NEXT UP WE'RE GOING TO DO 
          [VII) Consent Agenda]
THE CONSENT AGENDA. COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS IS REQUESTED TO PULL ITEMS 11 AND 13. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY ITEMS THEY WISH TO REMOVE? I WAS GOING TO PULL NINE. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS TEN, 14 AND 15 AND 12 AND 12. SORRY. YEAH. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN RESO, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MCKINNEY, THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEMS TEN, 12, 14 AND 15. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE, AYE. ALL OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 0, 7 TO 0. 
          [VIII) Items Pulled from Consent Agenda]
ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM EIGHT. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO ACCEPT AND EXECUTE A PERMANENT WASTEWATER LINE EASEMENT AND TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT FOR THE PLUM CREEK HOA FOR THE PLUM CREEK GOLF COURSE SEWER LINE PROJECT, CONTAINING A 0.045 ACRE PERMANENT WASTEWATER LINE EASEMENT, TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION AND STAGING EASEMENT. THIS ITEM HAS. MR. TRIMBLE AS A PRESENTER. MR. MCKINNEY, YOU HAVE FOUR. I DON'T NECESSARILY NEED THE FULL PRESENTATION. MY QUESTION FOR EIGHT AND NINE IS BASICALLY JUST TO CLARIFY WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY AFTER AFTER ACQUISITION. YEAH. SO THIS IS A DEDICATION OF THE EASEMENTS BOTH TEMPORARY EASEMENT AND THE PERMANENT EASEMENT FOR THE SEWER LINE. THE WASTEWATER LINE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT WILL BE OURS. THE LINE WILL BE OURS TO MAINTAIN THEIR DEDICATING THE EASEMENTS FOR US TO DO THAT. BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY ABOVE THE WATER LINE. THE I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS FOR A LOT OF THESE AREAS OVER THE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, THERE'S BEEN SOME SOME ARGUMENT, WHETHER IT'S HOA RESPONSIBILITY, WHETHER IT'S THE GOLF COURSE'S RESPONSIBILITY, WHETHER IT'S THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY. I WAS TRYING TO GET CLARIFICATION. LET ME VERIFY THAT, LOU. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU IF YOU HAVE MY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR MIGHT HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON THAT. I BELIEVE IT'S NOT OUR 
          [02:10:01]
RESPONSIBILITY. IT'S JUST REALLY JUST HAVING ACCESS FOR THE EASEMENT FOR THE FOR THE SEWER LINE. BUT. OKAY, MIKE. THANKS, MIKE. YEAH. MIKE MURPHY, DIRECTOR, WATER UTILITY. SO THE EASEMENTS ARE GOING TO BE OUTSIDE OF THE ACTUAL GOLF COURSE PROPER, LIKE THE FAIRWAYS AND THE ROUGH. SO WE WILL WHEN THE GOLF COURSE MAINTAINS OR HAS TO GO OVER THE ROUGH AREA THAT WE ALL HAVE VISITED MORE THAN OTHERS. YEAH. THEY'LL THEY'LL JUST TAKE CARE OF THAT TOO. BUT UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND AFTER CONSTRUCTION, WE'RE GOING TO RESEED EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL. AND THEN WE'LL LET THE GOLF COURSE MAINTAIN IT AFTER THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAD. WE'LL ALSO THEN BRING UP AGENDA ITEM NINE. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT AND EXECUTE A UTILITY EASEMENT, A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT FOR THE PLUM CREEK GOLF COURSE LIMITED FOR THE PLUM CREEK GOLF COURSE SEWER LINE PROJECT, CONTAINING 2.216 ACRE UTILITY EASEMENTS AND TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT. I MOVE TO APPROVE EIGHT AND NINE. OKAY. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MCKINNEY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN RIZZO THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEMS EIGHT AND NINE. DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 11. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A 2025 SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN. THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY MR. TRIMBLE. COUNCILMAN HARRIS, YOU PULLED TOGETHER FOR. YES. THANK YOU. I HAD SOME I HAVE SOME QUESTION ABOUT THE COST OF THE SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN. IT INDICATED A PER MILE COST OF, I THINK, $1 MILLION PER MILE PER MILE. THAT'S CORRECT. THE STAFF HAS SUGGESTED 800,000 A YEAR INTO THE BUDGET PER YEAR. THAT WON'T EVEN DO ONE MILE OF SIDEWALK. SO IS ARE THERE OTHER FUNDING SOURCES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT? SO YEAH. SO WITH THE FUNDING, LET ME EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ON HOW THAT WORKS. AND SO BASICALLY THEIR COST ESTIMATES JUST BASED ON HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO GET SIDEWALK WORK DONE, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT ANY DRAINAGE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, ANY OTHER WORK UTILITY WORK ASSOCIATED, THEY'RE ESTIMATING THAT ON AVERAGE IT'S ABOUT $1 MILLION OR $1 MILLION A MILE. BUT THAT BEING SAID, WITH THE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS THAT WE HAVE, SOME OF THOSE ARE VARYING IN SIZES AND COST. AND SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS TRANSLATE THOSE PROJECTS, THOSE PRIORITY PROJECTS THAT ARE IN YOUR LIST AND THOSE I HAVE THOSE UP HERE NOTED THOSE PROPERTIES. WE'RE GOING TO TRANSLATE THOSE TO PROJECTS AND WE'RE GOING TO GET ACTUAL COST ESTIMATES. SO WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS WE THINK JUST BASED ON HOW MUCH WHAT THE PRIORITY SEGMENTS ARE, AND TRANSLATING THOSE TO COST, IS THAT ABOUT 500,000 A YEAR WILL ALLOW US TO START WORKING ON THOSE PRIORITY SEGMENTS GOING FORWARD, AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHERE THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO GET OTHER WORK DONE. SOME OF THESE SEGMENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE AS SOME OF OUR WORK. I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN OUR PRESENTATION, BUT WE THINK ABOUT 500,000 A YEAR WILL ALLOW US TO START GETTING ON OUR WAY TO GET SOME OF THESE PRIORITY SEGMENTS DONE. SO IT WILL START US TO GET US ON THE WAY. THAT'S IT'S YEAH, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET ALL DONE IN ONE YEAR. IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO TAKE US. IT'S A MULTI-YEAR PROGRAM. THIS IS JUST THE ONGOING FUNDING THAT WE THINK WILL BE GOOD TO GET, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE SMALLER PARTY SEGMENTS DONE AND THEN MAYBE A COUPLE OF THE LARGER SEGMENTS DONE PER YEAR. AND HOW MANY MILES DID WE ESTIMATE THAT WE NEED TO DO? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I'M NOT SURE IT'S IN HERE, THE TOTAL MILEAGE, BUT I KNOW WE HAVE THE PRIORITY PROJECTS THAT ARE LOCATED HERE. 
          I CAN I CAN GET YOU THAT INFORMATION THOUGH. FOR THE TOTAL MILES. I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE THAT IN HERE. SO. I'LL FIND THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU THOUGH. OKAY. THAT WAS A QUESTION. SO I MOVE APPROVAL OF ITEM 11, SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILOR HARRIS, SECONDED BY COUNCILOR RESO. DO WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 11? IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. 
          ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 13. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION GRANTING CONSENT TO ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 22.296 ACRES OF LAND INTO THE EAST HAYS COUNTY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER TWO, THE MUD, AND AUTHORIZING A SPECIAL PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE MUD, EACH AS CONTEMPLATED BY THE CITY'S CONSENT AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT RELATED TO THE CREATION OF THE MUD. THIS IS MISS ALCORN, READS ITEM COUNCILOR HARRIS, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. IS THIS SIMILAR TO OUR AGREEMENT WITH SIX CREEKS? I DON'T THINK SO. THIS IS A MUD. SO WE AGREED AT THE TIME THAT WE DID OUR CONSENT AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. AND IT'S LIKE 2022 THAT THEY WOULD BE ANNEXING THIS ADDITIONAL PROPERTY IN. AND SO WE'RE NOW CONSENTING TO THEM DOING SO. IT'S CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY. IT'S KIND OF OUT IN THE ETJ. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY THIS IS PRAIRIE LAKES IS THE DEVELOPMENT. SO I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHERE THAT IS. MELISSA SAYS IT'S NORTHEAST. IT'S IN THE ETJ. IT'S IN THE ETJ. BUT IS IT IS IT CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY, TO OUR ABILITY TO ANNEX, NOT IMMEDIATELY. NO. OKAY. SO THAT 
          [02:15:09]
SORRY, THE ANNEXATION TERM IS A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING. THIS IS ANNEXING IT INTO BEING PART OF THE MUD OF THE MUD, THE MUD DISTRICT, NOT TO THE CITY, BECAUSE IT SAID THAT WE HAVE THE OPTION TO ANNEX IT. I ASSUMED THAT THAT WAS INTO THE CITY ANNEXATION. IT WOULD BE FOR THE FUTURE. SO MAYBE SOMETIME LONG INTO THE FUTURE THAT WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT ANNEXING THIS PROPERTY. BUT IF IT'S PART OF THE MUD, THERE'S SIGNIFICANT DEBT ASSOCIATED TO THE MUD THAT WE MAY NOT WANT TO TAKE ON. SO THE CONSENT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW US TO ANNEX THE PROPERTY UNTIL THE DEBT FROM THE MUDS, WHICH WOULD BE PROBABLY 30 YEARS, 30 YEARS, YES. UNLESS THEY PHASE IT, WHICH IT WOULD MAKE IT LONGER. RIGHT. AND IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS THAT IT DOES NOT NEED TO MEET ZONING REQUIREMENTS SO THEY CAN DO ANYTHING OUT THERE. AND WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THEM. SO IT'S GOT SOME REQUIREMENTS IN THERE. SO WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO GO UP. NO WE DO I THINK MELISSA PROBABLY KNOWS OFF THE TOP OF HER HEAD. YEAH. IT IS PRIMARILY A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION. IT'S CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS AND DEVELOPMENT. SO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DOES HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL KIND OF LAND USE AND LOT SIZES AND DIFFERENT RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH IT, BUT TECHNICALLY IT DOESN'T HAVE ZONING TO IT BECAUSE IT'S IN THE ETJ. SO WE DO HAVE SOME SAY ABOUT WHAT GOES THERE AND THE QUALITY OF THE HOUSING. AND YES, THEY ARE PULLING BUILDING PERMITS AS WELL, EVEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR HOMES IN THIS SUBDIVISION. OKAY. AND ARE WE LEGALLY BOUND TO APPROVE THIS? WE DID ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT IN APRIL OF 22, SO WE'RE LEGALLY BOUND TO CONTINUE THIS AGREEMENT. IF WE DID NOT AGREE TO THIS, WE WOULD TECHNICALLY BE IN VIOLATION OF THE CONSENT AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS. I'M TRYING TO I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD BACK IN 2022 ABOUT THIS. I DON'T THINK THAT WE DID IT WILLINGLY. I THINK THAT THERE WERE SOME THE REASON WHY IS THAT THEY WERE PLANNED ON GOING AROUND JUST TO THE LEGISLATURE AND CREATE THE MUD. THE LEGISLATURE HAD ALREADY MET AND SAID THAT THEY COULD, THAT ANYTIME A PROJECT LIKE THIS CAME FORWARD, AND WE SAW THAT PLAY OUT IN BUDA AS WELL, JUST LAST. WAS IT LAST YEAR THAT THEY CAN NOW CIRCUMVENT THE CITIES AND GO TO THE LEDGE, GO TO THE STATE AND STILL GET APPROVED. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHY WE WERE FORCED INTO IT. THEY WERE KIND OF FEEL LIKE THEY WERE GRANDFATHERED IN ON SOME OF THAT. THAT WAS SOME OF IT. BUT A LOT OF IT'S LOSING CONTROL. YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME OUR STATE LEGISLATURE MEETS, IT SEEMS LIKE CITIES GET LESS AND LESS CONTROL. AND THIS IS PART OF THAT CONSEQUENCE FROM THAT. 
          THANKS FOR THAT EXPLANATION ON THAT. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT US BEING REQUIRED TO PROVIDE UTILITIES OR OTHER ANY OTHER SERVICES. OF COURSE, THEY'VE GOT THE MUD, SO WE'RE NOT PROVIDING UTILITIES. RIGHT. AND YOU KNOW, I HAD A FEELING THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT I DON'T REALLY LIKE MUDS AT ALL. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'VE ALWAYS ADVOCATED AGAINST MUDS, BUT, YOU KNOW, AS, AS YOU KNOW, I STATED WE'RE JUST LOSING MORE AND MORE CONTROL. WELL, I WILL SAY THAT I THINK THAT AS A GENERAL RULE, THE CITY OF COWLES PROBABLY RESISTED MORE MUDS THAN, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE OTHER SUBDIVISIONS IN THE NEARBY AREA. A LOT OF THE SUBDIVISION, A LOT OF MUDS HAVE BEEN APPROVED IN NEARBY TOWNS. AND SO I DON'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS OF WHY WE AGREED TO IT. 
          I THINK IT HAD TO DO WITH THE LEDGE. I THINK IT HAD TO DO WITH SOMETHING ELSE. I'D BE CURIOUS TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO DO AT THE END OF THE DAY. SO I THINK, AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT HERE, WHEN WE DID AGREE TO MUDS, WE WOULD AGREE TO THEM WITH SOME SORT OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO GIVE US SOME, I DON'T THINK, CONFIDENCE. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER OPENLY CONSENTED OR AGREED TO THE FORMATION OF A MUD OR THE EXPANSION OF A MUD, BUT HERE IT IS. SO ANYWAY, ALL RIGHT. MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND MOTION. SECOND MOTION BY MAYOR, SECONDED BY COUNCILOR RIZZO THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM 13. FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION. THANK YOU FOR NOT MAKING ME MAKE THE MOTION. ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. 
          EXCUSE ME. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 24. CONSIDER 
          [24) Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with Environmental Design, Inc. for the relocation of the Live Oak tree on Old Stagecoach Road, including pre-treatment, tree relocation, and aftercare in the amount of $848,000, with a contingency of 10% at $84,800, for a total contract amount of $932,800.]
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN, INC. FOR THE RELOCATION OF THE LIVE OAK TREE ON OLD STAGECOACH ROAD, INCLUDING A PRETREATMENT TREE. RELOCATION AND AFTERCARE IN THE AMOUNT OF 848,000, WITH THE 
          [02:20:05]
CONTINGENCY OF 10% FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $932,800, MISS TRUELOVE. EXCUSE ME. OH, SORRY. NO, WE GO FIRST. I'M GLAD HE'S SO EAGER. YES, WE'LL MAKE IT WORK. SO, JUST AS SOME BACKGROUND, THE CITY IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON IMPROVEMENTS TO OLD STAGECOACH ROAD AS PART OF THE APPROVED ROAD BOND. WE HAVE A 51 INCH DIAMETER LIVE OAK, JUST SIX INCHES FROM THE EDGE OF THE PAVEMENT, AND DUE TO THE TREE'S PROXIMITY TO THE ROAD AND THE NEED TO IMPROVE THE ROAD, THE TREE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED OR RELOCATED. FEBRUARY OF THIS OF THIS YEAR, COUNCIL VOTED 6 TO 1 TO RELOCATE THE LIVE OAK ON OLD STAGECOACH ROAD AND DEVELOP A POCKET PARK FOR LONG TERM CONSERVATION AND ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS. WE DID PUT THE PROJECT OUT FOR BID ON MARCH 17TH. WE RECEIVED ONE BID FROM ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN INC. AND WE HAVE NEGOTIATED AND FINALIZED THE SCOPE WITH EDI FOR THE TREE LOCATION AND TRANSPORTATION, AND PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR MIKE TRIMBLE IS GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT SCOPE FOR YOU. YEAH. SO THE SCOPE INCLUDES PRETREATMENT PREPARATION, THE ENTIRE RELOCATION PROCESS FOR THE TREE. 
          SO IT'S ABOUT A 90 DAY PRETREATMENT PROCESS TO PREP THE TREE JUST TO BE READY TO MOVE. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE THERE'S A WHOLE RELOCATION PART OF THAT. AND THEN ALONG WITH THAT WILL BE ANY EXCAVATION ROCK EXCAVATION THAT ANY ROCK SONG THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO ACTUALLY EXTRACT THE TREE CAREFULLY AND THEN AND THEN RELOCATE IT. AND THEN OF COURSE, THERE'S AN AFTERCARE COMPONENT TO THAT. AND SO THERE IS A 24 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD THAT WILL OCCUR ONCE WE GET THE TREE ACTUALLY RELOCATED. FOR THE CITY'S PART, WE WILL ACTUALLY HANDLE ANY OF THE BACKFILLING. 
          AND SO WE NEED TO BASICALLY RESTORE THAT SITE WITH, WITH SOIL AND SOILS. AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, FOR TEMPORARY BASIS UNTIL WE GET THE ROAD BOND PROJECT DONE OR RESTORE THE ROAD ITSELF. AND SO CITY WILL BE PERFORMING THAT WORK, OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM WILL BE DOING THAT. 
          AND THEN WE'LL ALSO BE HANDLING TRAFFIC CONTROL AS WELL. JUST TO KIND OF LET YOU KNOW WHERE THE TREE IS AND WHERE IT'S GOING. SO THIS IS AN OLD STAGE COACH, AND IT'S ABOUT A QUARTER MILE UP FROM WHERE THE TREE IS LOCATED. NOW, THERE'S A COUPLE OF EASEMENTS THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THE SIX CREEKS DEVELOPERS ON DEDICATION OF THOSE EASEMENTS. AND THEN WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND THEIR CONSULTANT ON DESIGN OF THE PARKLET, THE POCKET PARK, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING SOME CONCEPTS. RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE THOSE TONIGHT, BUT THEY ARE WORKING ON THOSE AND DEVELOPING THOSE RIGHT NOW. AND WE'VE ALREADY HAD ONE ON SITE MEETING WITH THE DEVELOPER, TWO AT THAT SITE TO KIND OF TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND KIND OF GET BETTER INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S OCCURRING THERE AND WHERE THE TREE WOULD ACTUALLY BE RELOCATED, AND THEN WHAT THAT POTENTIAL LAYOUT COULD BE FOR THE PARKLET. THIS IS TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE DETOUR ROUTE. AGAIN, I MENTIONED THERE'S GOING TO BE SEVERAL WEEKS WHERE THEY'RE ACTUALLY RELOCATING THE TREE AND GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS. WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BASICALLY SHUT DOWN LANES ON OLD STAGECOACH. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A DETOUR ROUTE GOING THROUGH SIX CREEKS. I THINK THAT'S CYPRESS FOREST KIND OF GOING OVER TO SIXTH STREET BOULEVARD, BUT KIND OF GETTING AROUND THAT SITE WHERE WE'RE DOING THAT WORK. AND SO I KNOW WE DO HAVE THE CONTRACTOR HERE AS WELL TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WORK. BUT THAT'S KIND OF GENERALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE THE 9000 DAYS OF PREP WORK AND THEN THE RELOCATION TIME AND THEN THAT THAT POST AFTERCARE TIME FOR THE TREE AS WELL. SO BE DONE VERY, VERY CAREFULLY OVER SEVERAL MONTHS. AND SO WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO ROSIE, I THINK FOR THE ACTUAL PROCUREMENT INFORMATION. SO WE ISSUED AN RFP FOR RELOCATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES OF THE LIVE OAK ON OLD STAGECOACH, PUBLISHED ON MARCH 18TH, 2025. THE RESPONSE DUE DATE WAS EXTENDED TO APRIL 22ND, 2025 TO ENSURE THAT WE HAD OFFERS THAT WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND BE RESPONSIVE, AND WE DID RECEIVE ONE RESPONSIVE OFFER. ADDITIONAL COSTS AS AS MIKE DISCUSSED, IS THE ROAD RESTORATION OF APPROXIMATELY 130,000 WATER VALVE INSTALLATION BY KYLE WATER UTILITY IN THE AMOUNT OF 5000, AND THEN THE POCKET PARK DEVELOPMENT. WE'RE ESTIMATING BETWEEN 300 AND 600,000. THAT'S A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW. SO THE OPTIONS IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY ARE TO EITHER APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE THE CONTRACT WITH EDDIE FOR THE RELOCATION OF THE TREE IN THE AMOUNT OF 848,000, WITH A CONTINGENCY OF 10% OR 84,800, FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT OF 
          [02:25:04]
932,800. YOU APPROVE YOUR. YOUR OPTIONS ARE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION OR DENY THE RESOLUTION. STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL, AND WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM EDDIE HERE. 
          IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM OR FOR STAFF. ROSIE, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OR CONJECTURES AS TO WHY WE RECEIVED ONLY ONE BID? I DON'T, I WISH, I WISH I HAD MORE INFORMATION. WE DID EXTENSIVE OUTREACH. THERE AREN'T A LOT OF COMPANIES THAT DO THIS KIND OF WORK, AND WE DID AND WE DID REACH OUT TO ALL OF THEM. BUT THIS IS THE ONLY SOLICITATION RESPONSE THAT WE DID RECEIVE. DID ANY OF THEM GIVE YOU ANY INDICATION AS TO WHY? I MEAN, IF THAT'S WHAT THEY DO AND IT'S A HUGE CONTRACT, I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD ALL BID. WE DIDN'T GET ANY. I MEAN, HAPPY TO GO BACK AND DOUBLE DOWN ON THOSE EFFORTS TO TRY TO GET INFORMATION FROM THEM. BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON WHY THEY DIDN'T OR WHY THEY CHOSE NOT TO RESPOND. THE REASON I'M ASKING IS BECAUSE I JUST MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT THE OTHER COMPANIES MIGHT NOT HAVE BID BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID THAT THE TREE MIGHT DIE. WELL, I THINK THAT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY, BUT ONE OF THEM HAD ALREADY EVALUATED THE TREE AND SAID THAT IT WAS A GREAT A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR MOVING. I THINK THERE ARE ONLY THREE BIG TREE MOVERS THAT CAN DO THIS JOB IN OUR AREA, AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME TO MOVE THE TREE. AND IT'S A VERY BIG JOB. IT MAY BE THAT THEY SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME AVAILABLE AT THE TIME WE WANT TO MOVE THE TREE. HOW MUCH DID WE ESTIMATE THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST? I THINK WE WERE ORIGINALLY TALKING ABOUT 606 50 650,000. AND SO IT IS MORE THAN OUR ESTIMATE. CUSTOMER. TOBIAS. OKAY. WHEN IT COMES TO THIS IS FOR THE CONTRACTOR. SO THE MACHINE OR MACHINES THAT ARE GOING TO BE MOVING THIS TREE OR HOW YOU DO IT, YOU'VE ALREADY PROBABLY SEEN THE ROAD ITSELF ON STAGECOACH. 
          WHAT OBSTACLES DO YOU SEE BRINGING THAT LARGE CRANE IN. WILL THEY BE ANY FENCES OR ANY TYPE OF TREES THAT WOULD BE IN THE WAY? OR HOW WOULD THAT GO ABOUT? BECAUSE I HEAR THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO COME THROUGH DOWNTOWN KYLE. CORRECT. ON ON OR IS IT FLOWN IN I DON'T KNOW, THESE THINGS ARE HUGE. I'VE SEEN THEM ON THE VIDEOS. SO ONE OF THE METHODS WE USE, IT'S A METHOD WE USE IT'S CALLED ARBOR LIFT. AND WE USE AIRBAGS TO ROLL THE TREE. SO WE WON'T BE USING ANY CRANES IN THIS CASE OKAY. THE TREE WILL BE ABOUT 300 OVER 300 TONS, PROBABLY SOMEWHERE AROUND 650,000 POUNDS. WE CREATE A PIPE PLATFORM UNDER THESE TREES, A RAFT IF YOU WILL. SO WE'LL BE USING A DIRECTIONAL DRILLING MACHINE. ROCK BORING MACHINE. 
          ROCK SAWS. THE ROOT BALL WILL BE OVER 35FT IN DIAMETER. SO YOU KNOW, IT'S A 51 INCH TREE THAT'S OVER A 1 TO 10 RATIO OF TRUNK DIAMETER INCHES TO ROOT BALL DIAMETER INCHES. WE'LL USE WHAT'S CALLED AN SPMT, A SELF-PROPELLED MODULAR TRANSPORTER, A COUPLE OF THEM HOOKED UP IN DOUBLE LINES. THEY'LL HAVE ABOUT 90 TIRES ON EACH ONE OF THEM. MAYBE YOU'VE SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN THEY MOVED THE SPACE SHUTTLE OR OTHER LARGE VESSELS. SO WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE. I MOVED ONE IN DOWNTOWN AUSTIN SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND OTHER PLACES, AND I WAS DOWN AT SPACE X AND GOT TO SEE THEM MOVING A COUPLE OF THE ROCKETS. SO IT'S PRETTY INTENSE WHEN THIS COMES THROUGH, WILL THERE BE ANY OTHER TREES THAT WOULD NEED TO BE? SORRY I DIDN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. THE FENCES FOR THE SUBDIVISION WILL BE INTACT. THERE SHOULD BE NO DAMAGE THERE, NO INTRUSION THERE. THE ROAD OBVIOUSLY, WHERE WE'RE AT IS GOING TO BE AFFECTE, EFFECTIVELY DESTROYED. AND THEN THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TREES SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT TREE THAT WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED. I THINK THEY WERE PROBABLY PLANNED TO BE REMOVED DURING THE WIDENING OF THE ROAD ANYWAY, BECAUSE THEY'RE RIGHT NEXT TO IT, AND A COUPLE THAT ARE NORTH OF THE TREE THAT MAYBE HAVE TO BE SELECTIVELY PRUNED SO THAT WE CAN GET BY THOSE AND GET THE CANOPY OF THE TRANSPLANT TREE BY THEM. OKAY. SO HAVE YOU SURVEYED THE AREA WHERE THE TREE WOULD BE DUG INTO? BECAUSE ANOTHER CONCERN A RESIDENT REACHED OUT TO ME WAS, WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY HIT YOU GUYS OR THE CONTRACTOR? WHOEVER HITS A WATER LINE OR HITS A GAS LINE. WHAT PRECAUTIONARY STEPS 
          [02:30:08]
ARE BEING TAKEN TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON THAT END? BECAUSE, I MEAN, WE'RE RIGHT THERE BY A RESIDENT'S HOUSE. SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO BE DIGGING WAY DEEP IN JUST TO GET THIS MONSTER OF A TREE OUT. THE BIG FEAR WOULD BE HITTING A WATER LINE OR GAS LINE. SURE, SURE. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. I MEAN, THAT'S A KIND OF A FEAR OF OURS EVERY DAY AND MOVING TREES. SO WE'LL HAVE WE'LL COORDINATE WITH YOUR UTILITIES DEPARTMENT. OBVIOUSLY WE'LL CALL 811 LIKE WE ALWAYS DO. THE TREE IS GOING TO HAVE ABOUT A FOUR FOOT 4.5FT DEEP ROOT BALL ON ONE SIDE AND PROBABLY DEEPER ON ANOTHER SIDE. THERE'S A TOPOGRAPHY CHANGE THERE. IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE DRAIN WAY, SO THE TREE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY DEEPER ROOT BALL ON ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER. SO THE TREE WON'T HAVE A FLAT APPEARANCE AS WE PUT IT IN. 
          WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO RAISE IT UP A LITTLE BIT IN ITS FINAL SPOT AND THEN GRADE AROUND IT. SO WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T DIG DOWN MORE THAN 2 OR 3FT, BUT WE'LL CHECK ALL THAT OUT. I THINK I ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT EXISTING UTILITIES IN THAT AREA PREVIOUSLY ON A CALL THAT WE HAD AFTER THE BID, AND I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY CONFLICT AT THAT POINT. THERE MAY BE CONFLICT. I THINK IT'S JUST DRY UTILITY OR DRAIN THAT'S THERE CLOSE BY THE TREE THAT I THINK THE, YOU KNOW, THE SOIL THAT'S EXISTING IS SUITABLE TO MOVE WATER AROUND AND THAT WE CAN MAKE ANY KIND OF ARRANGEMENTS WE NEED TO, TO, TO HELP OUT THERE. BUT MOST OF THE UTILITIES ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD FROM WHERE THE TREE IS, THE WET UTILITIES. OKAY, I THINK. I THINK THE DIFFERENCE THAT THIS QUOTE IS GIVING US FROM WHAT WE HAD SEEN BEFORE, WAS THAT THIS IS USING THE SELF-PROPELLED VEHICLE AND THE OTHER ONE INCLUDED AN EXTRA 150,000, I THINK, FOR USING THE SELF-PROPELLED VEHICLE IF THEY NEEDED TO. I THINK THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE DIFFERENCE. 
          ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. CUSTOMER YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY, TELL ME YOU LIKE TREES. I LOVE TREES. 
          GOOD. THAT'S AWESOME. BECAUSE THAT MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE IN MOVING THIS TREE AND THAT'S IMPORTANT. THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO SAY IS THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE REQUEST TO MOVE THE TREE. APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW YOU ALL ARE BUSY. IF THERE'S ONLY THREE OF YOU ON THE AREA, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW BUSY YOU ARE. BUT THE OTHER THING IS JUST KEEPING IN MIND THAT WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO DISRUPT AS LITTLE AS WE CAN AS THE RESIDENTS LIVES THERE, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A DISRUPTION NO MATTER WHAT, BUT THE BEST WE CAN DO TO MITIGATE THAT IS AMAZING, WILL BE GREAT. THE OTHER THING IS, I'M GLAD THAT WE GOT A PARK COMING IN HERE AS WELL. PUTTING A PARK IN THAT AREA WILL DEFINITELY ENHANCE AND GIVE US EVEN MORE REASON TO BRING THIS TREE INTO THAT AREA AND DESIGN IT FOR THE RESIDENTS. BRIAN, I THINK WE GOT SOME DOLLARS FROM SIX CREEKS FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT AREA. COULD WE USE THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE REALLY STRAPPED ON OUR ROAD BOND DOLLARS. COULD WE USE THOSE DOLLARS AT SIX CREEKS GAVE US WHEN THEY WERE DEVELOPING TO PAY FOR THIS? THAT'S CORRECT. WE DID RECEIVE ABOUT $1.2 MILLION FROM THE SIX CREEKS DEVELOPMENT. IT CAN BE USED FOR STAGECOACH ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. SO THOSE ARE DOLLARS THAT CAN BE DEDICATED TO TREE MOVEMENT AS WELL AS THE PARKLET THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. 
          YES, SIR. OKAY, COOL. COUNCILOR HARRIS, I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS A COUPLE OF MISS GONZALEZ'S QUESTIONS. SHE HAD WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE WATERING OF THE TREE. AND I KNOW THAT THE DESIGN THAT WE HAVE FROM OUR DEPARTMENT, OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT, WAS EXCELLENT WITH CIRCULAR WATERING AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE TREE, NOT RIGHT UP AGAINST THE BASE, QUITE A FEW DRIP IRRIGATION THAT WILL BE AUTOMATED ON AN AUTOMATIC TIMER, IF THAT'S CORRECT. DAVID. THE DESIGN WAS REALLY, REALLY GOOD. AND WE IT'S A LIVE OAK. IT HAS TO BE MOVED IN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. WE CAN MOVE THE LIVE OAK BETWEEN JULY AND JANUARY, BASICALLY FEBRUARY MAYBE. IS THAT CORRECT? WELL, WE MOVE WE MOVE THE TREES YEAR ROUND HONESTLY. AND IF WE HAVE THIS PRETREATMENT PERIOD THAT IS TREATING THEM FOR OAK WILT, ACTUALLY IT'S MORE OF A PREP ON THE TREE TO PRE SHOCK IT IF YOU WILL, A SORT OF A HARSH TERM. BUT TO GET THE TREE TO START TO SELF-REGULATE BASED ON A MORE LIMITED ROOT SYSTEM. SO WE'LL COME IN AND A PRETREATMENT PHASE AND DO ROOT PRUNING. SO IT'S PRETTY LOW IMPACT IN THIS CASE. WE CAN'T DO IT IN THE ROAD. BUT WE CAN DO IT WHERE THERE'S YOU 
          [02:35:02]
KNOW IMPERVIOUS COVER. OBVIOUSLY WE'LL DO FERTILIZATION SOME AIR SPADING POLYPHOSPHATE DRENCHES AND ALL THESE OTHER NERDY ARBORIST TASKS THAT WILL BOLSTER THE HEALTH OF THE TREE BEFORE WE ACTUALLY COME IN, FULLY EXCAVATE THE TREE AND GET IT READY FOR MOVE. SO WATERING, PRE WATERING AND THAT SORT OF THING. I THINK MRS. GONZALEZ QUESTIONED EARLIER WE'LL DO A LOT OF THAT AND ALL THROUGHOUT THAT 90 DAY PERIOD BEFORE WE ACTUALLY REMOBILIZE TO DO, YOU KNOW, THE MAJOR IMPACT WORK WELL IN A LIVE OAK IS DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A DORMANT PHASE DURING THE WINTER, DOES IT? WELL, THEY DO SLOW DOWN, BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT THE LARGER TREES HAVE THE ABILITY TO KIND OF SELF REGULATE. THEY'LL SHUT OFF STOMATA, WHICH ARE UNDERNEATH THE LEAF SURFACE, AND STOP TRANSPIRING WHEN THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE REACHES A CERTAIN POINT. I MEAN, THESE TREES ARE REALLY TOUGH. THEY'VE LEARNED HOW TO SURVIVE THROUGH MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THROUGH 100, AND 50, 200 YEARS. SO THEY'RE RESILIENT AS WELL. AND OUR OUR JOB IS TO TAKE ENOUGH ROOT MASS, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE THIS THING DOES WELL. AND YOUR REPUTATION DEPENDS ON HOW WELL THE TREES LIVE AFTER YOU'RE GONE. SO WE KNOW THAT YOU WILL TAKE UTMOST CARE. IT'S A HUGE TREE OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. SO IT REALLY MATTERS TO THE COMMUNITY. WE'RE GOING TO JUST ASK ONE MORE QUESTION TO THE CITY ONCE THIS IF THIS TREE GOES THROUGH AND IT GETS PLANTED, IT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND WATERED AND SO FORTH. WHAT IS THE TIMELINE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY WATER THIS TREE? AND HOW MANY GALLONS OF CITY WATER WILL WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE TO KEEP THIS TREE ALIVE IN THE LONG RUN? I MEAN THIS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN THERE, CORRECT? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DRILL AND BRING IN A WATER LINE. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT WATER, CONSERVING WATER AND ALL THIS. THIS IS GOING TO BE A HUGE TASK FOR THIS TREE TO SURVIVE WITH, WITH THE LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER. HOW MUCH WATER DO YOU THINK WE WOULD PROBABLY NEED ON A DAILY BASIS TO KEEP THIS THING ALIVE? YEAH, WE'LL NEED TO PROVIDE IRRIGATION CONNECTION FOR THE AFTERCARE, BUT YOU MAY WANT TO SPEAK TO THE ACTUAL AFTERCARE PROCESS AND KIND OF WHAT'S REQUIRED FOR IRRIGATION. ALL OF THAT. WE CAN GET YOU AN ESTIMATE OF THE GALLONAGE AS WELL. WE CAN GET THAT TO MIKE. AND BUT THE AFTERCARE IS MONTHLY VISITS BY CERTIFIED ARBORIST PROBABLY GOING TO BE MORE THAN THAT. THAT'S GENERALLY WHAT WE DO. ANNUAL FERTILIZATION, ANNUAL MULCHING. IT'S A SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM. WE USE DRIP TUBING THAT GOES BEYOND THE ROOT BALL, THE TREE, TO ENCOURAGE MORE ROOT GROWTH OUT INTO THE AREA. THE DRIP TUBING IS VERY EFFICIENT, YOU KNOW, SO WE'RE NOT SPRAYING INTO THE AIR. IT'S UNDERNEATH THE MULCH. WE CAN CHECK THAT THOROUGHLY AS WELL. THERE'S DEADWOOD PRUNING, INSECT TREATMENTS, BORER PREVENTION, BORING INSECT PREVENTION. SO WILL ALL THIS BE WITH THE COST OF THIS TOTAL AMOUNT OR IS THIS DOES THIS FULL AMOUNT OF 936 32,000 WILL BE EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE WATER, THE IRRIGATION, THE AFTERCARE AND SO FORTH. SO THE WATER COST? I'M NOT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT PART OF IT. BUT AS FAR AS EVERYTHING ELSE COMBINED PACKAGE YOU KNOW, PRE DOING IT AND THEN AFTERWARDS IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO RUN US CLOSE TO 1.904 THOUSAND, 40,000. YES. COUNCILMEMBER. THAT'S CORRECT. AND THAT INCLUDES THAT THAT PREP WORK THAT INCLUDES THE RELOCATION AND ALL THAT AFTERCARE SERVICES THAT THE CONTRACTOR MENTIONED. OKAY. 
          SO AFTER THE CONTRACT WORKS OUT, RUNS OUT IN THE AFTER CARE IS OVER, WHO'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT AFTER THAT? THAT WILL THAT WILL BE US. OKAY. SO YEAH, SOMETIMES THESE THINGS THAT'S THAT'S A PERFECT WINDOW OF TIME FOR SOMETHING TO GET DROPPED. MANY, MANY MONTHS GO BY. NOBODY'S PAYING ATTENTION. WE'VE LONG FORGOT ABOUT THIS. THE CONTRACT WORKS OUT ONE MONTH. YOU JUST STOP COMING. STAFF ISN'T PAYING ATTENTION. MAYBE IT DOESN'T KNOW THAT. AND SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO ENSURE THAT THIS HUGE INVESTMENT INTO KEEPING THIS TREE ALIVE IS MAINTAINED BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS CONTRACT? IT'S REALLY JUST A ON THE RECORD. WE NEED TO. 
          YEAH, I THINK FOR THE STAFF, IT WILL BE A POINT OF EMPHASIS FOR US. WE HAVE A LARGE INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE MAKING IN RELOCATING THE TREE. WE'LL HAVE THE PARK LET FEATURE THAT WE'RE ALSO MAINTAINING AS WELL AT THAT LOCATION. SO ALL THAT MAINTENANCE WILL BE DONE BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, AND WE'LL PUT THAT ON OUR SCHEDULE AND MAKE SURE IT GETS DONE. IT NEEDS TO GET DONE. IT HAS TO GET DONE. I THINK IT'S PROBABLY WORTH BUILDING SOME KIND OF REDUNDANCY IN THE REMINDER SET, BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IN YOUR USUAL, YOU KNOW, PROCESS. I'D BE 
          [02:40:01]
HAPPY TO BE THAT REDUNDANCY. YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE A REOCCURRING EVERY MONTH COST. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A REOCCURRING COST EVERY SINGLE DAY AND EVERY MONTH BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE JUST CAN'T SHUT OFF THE VALVE AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONTHS OR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS. I MEAN, THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REOCCURRING. I WILL SAY THAT WE HAVE A MULTI DEPARTMENTAL PROJECT TEAM WORKING ON THIS. AND SO AS WE'RE TRYING TO GET ALL THIS TOGETHER AS FAR AS THE POCKET PARK, THE RELOCATION, WE WILL DEFINITELY TAKE THAT INTO INTO ACCOUNT AND START LOOKING AT THAT TRANSITION PLAN AND THAT MAINTENANCE PLAN GOING FORWARD. 
          AND WE CAN START WORKING ON THAT NOW. ALL RIGHT. MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. MOTION BY THE MAYOR SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? YEAH. JUST REAL QUICK, DAVID, WHO'S ON YOUR WHO ON YOUR TEAM IS GOING TO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS TREE. SO WE HAVE JOHN DAVIS, WHO IS A BIOLOGIST ON STAFF. WE ALSO HAVE A STAFF HORTICULTURIST. WE DON'T HAVE AN ARBORIST BY TRADE, BUT THOSE TWO COULD PASS AN ARBORIST EXAM FOR ONE. BUT WITH SENSITIVE TREES OF THIS MAGNITUDE, THIS IS EVALUATED CASE BY CASE. AND THE CONDITION AT THE END OF THIS CONTRACT WOULD, YOU KNOW, WOULD ASSESS THE TREE. IT'S NOT ATYPICAL FOR US TO CONSIDER EXTENDING A CONTRACT. SOMETIMES THEY'RE THEY'RE RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS. WE HAD A TREE FOR ANOTHER AGENCY WE WORKED FOR. IT WAS VERY LARGE CALIPER THAT REQUIRED SOME EXTRA CARE AND MAINTENANCE. AND SO WE ENLISTED THE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT OF A TREE CARE COMPANY TO COME AND PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES LIKE AIR SPADING DEEP ROOT FERTILIZATION PROGRAMS. THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS. WE EVEN WON AN AWARD FOR THIS TREE CARE PROGRAM WITHIN THIS DOWNTOWN AREA. BUT YEAH, THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS WE CAN DO. WE'VE NOW GOT STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES IN PARKS AND RECREATION. WE HAVE OUR CARTEGRAPH WORK ORDER SYSTEM TO ENSURE THAT THINGS DON'T DROP OFF ONCE THEY GO INTO OUR SYSTEM OF IMPLEMENTATION. THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR. THANKS, DAVID. AND IT'S GREAT TO HEAR THAT YOU'VE GOT EXPERIENCE IN THIS. SO THAT MEANS THIS PROCESS IS GOING TO GO WELL. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. NAY. 
          [27) Consider approval of a resolution to determine the final design layout of the facility located at 1500 Dacy Lane.  ]
ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 2. NEXT UP AGENDA ITEM 27. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO DETERMINE THE FINAL DESIGN LAYOUT OF THE FACILITY, LOCATED AT 1500 DACY MR. LOPEZ. GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU, MAYOR. QUICK OVERVIEW. WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER SOME FLOORPLAN CONCEPTS THAT YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY SEEN JUST BY WAY OF REMINDER. AND THEN WE'VE GOT AN UPDATE ON THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR THE 1500 AC FACILITY. I'VE GOT SOME SUPPORTING CAST HERE FROM OUR TRANSPORTATION DIVISION, AND THEN WE WILL GET DIRECTION FROM YOU ALL. THERE'S A FEW NEW CONCEPTS AND ITERATIONS THAT HAVE HAVE DEVELOPED SINCE LAST MEETING THAT WE WANTED TO BRING BEFORE YOU FOR CONSIDERATION. SO THE BACKGROUND THAT I SPOKE TO IN MID-MARCH, WE BROUGHT WHAT WE CALLED THE MAX FLEX CONCEPT TO COUNCIL, WHICH WAS DERIVED FROM STAKEHOLDER INPUT, PUBLIC INPUT, AND IT ACCOMMODATED ABOUT 130 PEOPLE IN THIS PLAN. BUT IT WAS SPLIT BETWEEN TWO MAIN SPACES THAT COULD BE WITH RETRACTABLE WALLS. COUNCIL AT THAT TIME ASKED FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY, POSSIBLY TO MAKE THIS A, YOU KNOW, ONE MASSIVE BALLROOM THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE UP TO CLOSE TO 300 OR ANYWHERE FROM TWO 52, 50 TO 300 PEOPLE. SO WE TOOK THAT FEEDBACK AND WE CAME UP WITH A MEGA MAX FLEX OPTION. OUR PRIMARY STAKEHOLDER THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, NAMELY CASS, ALSO SUPPORTED THIS CONCEPT. SO THIS WOULD PROVIDE UP TO SIX MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS OR ONE GRAND BALLROOM THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE NOT ONLY THE EVENTS FOR CASS, BUT ANY AFTER HOURS MEETING NEEDS OR ANY OTHER EXTRACURRICULAR NEEDS, PARK AND RECREATION NEEDS IF NEEDED. WE BROUGHT THIS CONCEPT TO COUNCIL ON MAY 27TH, AND THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK AND REQUESTS TO MAYBE REALLY OPEN UP THE. I THINK THE CONCERN WAS WITH THE PARTITION STACKS CREATING VISIBILITY ISSUES. SO WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU RIGHT NOW WAS TAKING COUNCIL FEEDBACK, REMOVING SOME OF THOSE STACKS. AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ON IN THE UPPER SECTION WHICH WOULD BE LIKE THIS LARGER BALLROOM AREA, THERE'S A, THERE'S A HARD RED LINE AND THERE'S A BLACK SQUIGGLY LINE OVERLAID. WE JUST NEED SOME FEEDBACK. IF COUNCIL WANTED THAT TO BE OPEN INTO THE HALLWAY, OR IF THAT NEEDED TO BE A SOLID WALL, THERE COULD BE SOME ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO DESIGN IN THAT REGARD, BUT THAT WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY ONE LARGE, YOU KNOW, BALLROOM THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE AROUND 150 PEOPLE AT FULL CAPACITY AND THEN THREE MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS FOR A COMBINED FOUR ROOM TOTAL. THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK FROM ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER THAT WANTED TO LOOK AT THE OPTION OF MAYBE OFFERING FIVE ROOMS WITH FOUR MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS, THE THREE ORIGINAL ON THE BOTTOM AND 
          [02:45:06]
THEN AND THE TOP SECTION. THERE WOULD BE ONE TO THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE WE WOULD ADJUST THE STACKS, AND THAT WOULD ALSO HAVE THE RETRACTABLE WALLS, AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE ONE LARGER BALLROOM FIXED AREA IN AS YOU AS YOU ENTER THE FACILITY, POST LOUNGE. I WILL TAKE SOME FEEDBACK SHORTLY, BUT QUICKLY. I WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT OUR TRANSPORTATION TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING ON, AND SO THIS WAS A RELATIVELY LOW IMPACT. BUT, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF COST AND BUT HIGHLY EFFECTIVE. AND SO WHAT YOU SEE SORT OF IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER, YOU SEE A RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT ONLY INTO THE FACILITY, THE ORIGINAL DRIVE AND THEN A RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT AT DACY LOOP. THIS WOULD REQUIRE THE NEED FOR A FULL ACCESS DRIVE APRON, SORT OF TO THE SOUTH OF THE FACILITY. AND ALSO THERE WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE FULL ACCESS. AND THEN WE'RE DAISY LOOP AND DAISY LANE MEET FURTHER TO THE EAST. THAT WOULD ALSO BE FULL ACCESS. SO THERE WOULD NEED TO BE SIGNAGE INCORPORATED BEFORE WE MOVE TO THE OPTIONS FOR THE BUILDING. I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU ALL HAD ANY FEEDBACK ON THIS TRANSPORTATION UPDATE. I LIKE. I KIND OF LIKE THAT THERE, BECAUSE THE BIG CONCERN THAT, WELL, EVERYBODY'S WAS THE HILL TRYING TO LEAVE OUT FROM THE HILL, YOU KNOW, TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT. BUT IF YOU DO THIS FULL ACCESS DOWN TO WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO DOWN DAISY LOOP ON THE WAY IN, IF YOU'VE DRIVEN OUT TO DAISY LANE LATELY, IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS SINCE WE PUT THOSE TRAFFIC LIGHTS UP, TRAFFIC HAS SLOWED DOWN TREMENDOUSLY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY GOT TO STOP STOPLIGHT COMING UP. SO AS PEOPLE ROUND OUT ON PARKWAY COME DOWN, THEY DO SEE THE LIGHTS. THAT AND AS YOU HAVE THAT CURVE I BELIEVE THAT COULD ALSO IS THAT WHERE THE ROUND POSSIBLE ROUNDABOUT IS LOOKING AT RIGHT THERE AS WELL. YEAH. SO THE ROUNDABOUT IS GOING TO BE TO THE LEFT OF THIS ON THIS PICTURE. YOU'LL BE COMING OUT OF THE ROUNDABOUT AND THEN DRIVE THAT CURVE AND THEN PASS THOSE TWO DRIVEWAYS. SO WHEN WE TOOK, WHEN WE TOOK A LOOK AT KIND OF ALONG DAISY LANE, THOSE TWO DRIVEWAYS FOR PEOPLE DRIVING ON DAISY GOING WEST, I'M SORRY I'M DIRECTIONALLY CHALLENGED. SO IF I GOT IT WRONG I'M SORRY GOING THAT WAY. IT'S VERY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THOSE TWO DRIVEWAYS DUE TO THE CURVATURE OF THE ROAD AND THE SLOPE LONGITUDINAL SLOPE OF THE ROAD. SO WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING POTENTIALLY HAVING SOME WARNING SIGNS OVER AT THAT CURVE TO SAY CURVE BLOCK VIEW FOR THE VEHICLES TRAVELING ALONG DAISY LANE. WHAT COULD REALLY HELP? PROBABLY 80% OF THE VISIBILITY IS TO GET ALL THAT MOWED DOWN, LIKE I'VE BEEN ASKING OR TRYING TO GET THE HOSPITAL TO DO. IF WE CAN GET ALL THAT MOWED DOWN AND KEEP IT AT A VERY LOW RATE, AND GET SOME OF THAT OLD BRUSH AND THAT MESQUITE TREE OUT, YOU'D HAVE A CLEAR VISIBILITY AS PEOPLE ARE COMING DOWN THE HILL, AND IF YOU GO DOWN THAT DAISY LOOP, YOU COULD BE ABLE TO SEE ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING THROUGH. BUT SINCE IT'S SO HIGH AND YOU'VE GOT SO MUCH SHRUBBERY AND BRUSH THERE, IT'S REALLY HARD TO SEE. THAT'S A GOOD CONCEPT TO HAVE AN EXTRA SPACE LEADING OUT. BUT THAT WHOLE TRIANGLE THERE, IT JUST HAS TO BE CLEARED OUT TO WHERE YOU CAN BE ABLE TO SEE IT. AND WE JUST HEARD THAT IN THE ROUNDABOUTS WHERE WE SAID, KEEP IT AT THREE FEET, RIGHT. SO YOU COULD SEE THE VISIBILITY. I MEAN, AGAIN, DRIVE OUT THERE. I RECOMMEND PEOPLE GOING OUT THERE. MISS CONNIE KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. RIGHT. SO YOU KNOW, YOU'RE COMING AROUND THAT HILL. SO IMAGINE GOING DAISY LOOP HAVING THAT THAT STREET TO WHERE YOU CAN EXIT OUT. WOULD IT BE A LOT NICER TO BE ABLE TO HAVE IT AT VISIBILITY TO WHERE IT'S LOW, AND YOU COULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE CARS COMING DOWN? YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION, COUNCILOR HARRIS. ON DAISY LOOP. DO WE OWN THAT PROPERTY THAT WE WOULD BE EXTENDING THE DRIVEWAY TO. DO YOU WANT TO SO WOULD HAVE AN ENTRANCE OFF DAISY LOOP. RIGHT. THAT RED. YEAH I BELIEVE SO. I THINK THAT ENTIRE PARCEL WE'RE ACQUIRING SO THAT DRIVEWAY WOULD BE OKAY. THAT HELPS. I KNOW THERE ARE QUESTIONS FROM TRANSPORTATION. WE WILL CONTINUE. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD DAVID. THAT'S YOU. EVERYBODY WAS INVOLVED WITH THIS. THAT'S THAT'S A BIG PLUS FOR GETTING OUT OF THAT BUILDING. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WORK AND FOR HAVING THAT VISION. THANK YOU ALL. OKAY. SO OPTIONS FOR YOUR 
          [02:50:03]
CONSIDERATION WOULD BE THE MEGAMAX FLEX OPTION. AND THAT'S ON THE ON THE LEFT SIDE. THAT'S THE ONE THAT MAXIMIZED THE RETRACTABLE WALLS BUT INCLUDED THE PARTITION STACKS. THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS BEFORE ABOUT VISIBILITY. AND WE MENTIONED BEFORE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TVS. 
          IT WOULD SERVE SOME AUXILIARY CAPACITY TO ENSURE THAT SPEAKERS WOULD BE VISIBLE. AND HAVING THE RIGHT ACOUSTICS IN THE BUILDING IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT, BUT SOMETHING THAT IS EASILY ACCOMPLISHED. AND THEN ADDITIONAL OPTION TWO WOULD BE THAT ADDITIONAL COUNCIL FEEDBACK. WE JUST NEED CLARITY ON IF IT WOULD BE THAT SOLID WALL IN THE UPPER PORTION ON THAT LOWER SOLID WALL ON THE UPPER PORTION, OR IT WOULD, WOULD IT BE JUST WIDE OPEN AND JUST FEEDING INTO THE HALLWAY. AND THEN THE ALTERNATIVE CONCEPT, WHICH ISN'T SHOWN HERE, BUT I'LL JUST GO BACK TO IT, FIVE ROOMS INSTEAD OF 4 OR 6 WITH NO WALL, WITH NO WALL. 
          THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, I'LL TAKE ANY FEEDBACK DIRECTION. SO I THINK THAT LAYOUT RIGHT THERE ON THE LEFT IS PROBABLY WHAT EVERYBODY WAS AGREEING TO. PRETTY MUCH. IT'S OPEN AND I DON'T LIKE SOLID WALLS THAT WERE THAT WOULD DEFINE THE HALLWAY. THAT WOULD BE HORRIBLE BECAUSE THEN IT WOULD LIMIT WHAT WE COULD DO IN THAT SPACE. I DO LIKE THIS CONCEPT WHERE WE CAN GO TO SIX ROOMS AND BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. BUT EVEN BEFORE VOTING ON THIS, I WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR THEIR DUE DILIGENCE ON FINDING A NEW HOME FOR OUR SENIOR CENTER. MAYOR, I WANT TO THANK YOU BECAUSE I KNOW YOU MADE THIS A PRIORITY AND YOU'VE WANTED TO ADDRESS THIS. IT'S SOMETHING THE CONVERSATIONS YOU AND I HAD EARLY ON BEFORE WE EVEN DID THIS. I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER TOBIAS FOR FINDING THE BUILDING AND ALLOWING US TO BRING THE SENIORS INTO ANOTHER BUILDING IN REAL TIME, BECAUSE THEY OUTGREW THE BUILDING THEY'RE IN RIGHT NOW. AND NOW, TO HAVE A BUILDING THAT WE CAN DO MULTIPLE PROGRAMING AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS SOMETHING THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE HAPPEN IN REAL TIME. BUT I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY HERE ON THIS DAIS FOR MOVING THIS PROJECT FORWARD AND WANTING IT DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ADDRESS OUR NEEDS, AND THIS IS A NEED THAT WE'RE DOING, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OUR RESIDENTS BEING ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS BUILDING, SEEING A LOT OF OUR NONPROFITS AND, YOU KNOW, CLUBS AROUND THE AREA THAT WANTED LOOKING FOR SPACE TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS AS WELL. SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL FOR OUR CITY. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT ASSET TO US AS A COMMUNITY. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY. THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH US AS WELL. ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILOR HARRIS, THE LAST OPTION, THAT ONE, THE SENIORS ARE WANTING AS MANY MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS AS POSSIBLE. I DO UNDERSTAND THE MAYOR'S MOTION ON MAKING THE TAKING OUT THE WALLS AND THE PANELS TO MAKE THAT A MUCH LARGER USABLE SPACE. HOWEVER, WE COULD DO THE SAME BY AND BUT GET ANOTHER BREAKOUT ROOM SO WE WOULD HAVE FIVE INSTEAD OF SIX IF WE MOVED. SEE WHERE IT SAYS MOVE. IF WE MOVE THAT PANEL OVER TO THE FAR WALL, WHICH WOULD BE BY THE KITCHEN, KEEP THE ONE THAT IS ON THE WINDOW SIDE, THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO CLOSE THAT IN AND MAKE THAT AN EXTRA ROOM, AND THEN YOU'D HAVE THAT MULTI-PURPOSE AREA WOULD BE BASICALLY THOSE FIRST TWO ROOMS. SO I THINK THAT'S A NICE WAY OF GETTING THE MAXIMUM USAGE OUT OF IT WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE AMBIANCE FOR THAT LARGER ROOM, BECAUSE WE CAN MAKE THAT LARGER ROOM REALLY PRETTY, REALLY INVITING AND EXCITING. I THINK IT'S THE WALL. I DON'T THINK WE REALLY NEED THE HALLWAY THERE. IT'S KIND OF HALLWAYS ARE WASTED SPACE IN GENERAL. UNLESS YOU'RE IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING, YOU MAY THEN YOU MAY WANT ONE. BUT SO THAT THAT WAS THE CONCEPT THAT I WAS THINKING MIGHT WORK REALLY, REALLY WELL FOR ACTUALLY GETTING THIS MAXIMUM SPACE. I JUST HAVE A DIFFERENT COMMENT. NOT HAS TO DO WITH FLOOR SPACE, BUT THE RESTROOMS THEMSELVES. IF WE COULD MAKE SURE THAT THE EITHER THE ONE BY THE KITCHEN OR THE ONES UP FRONT, OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE ADA COMPLIANT, BUT WE GOT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE 18 BY 18 BECAUSE OF THE MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIRS THAT NEED TO GO IN THERE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING IN THERE THAT THAT HAVE THOSE, INCLUDING SCOOTERS, 
          [02:55:02]
INCLUDING WALKERS, TO WHERE WE REALLY PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THOSE RESTROOMS FOR THOSE SENIORS THAT NEED THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS, ESPECIALLY TO HAVE A LEAST LIKE A FAMILY STYLE BATHROOM CHANGING TABLE, WHATEVER, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE INFANTS THAT WILL PROBABLY COME IN, BUT ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SIZE OF THE SPACE ITSELF, THE DOORS THAT OPEN WIDE, IS ACCOMMODATING FOR MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIRS AND WALKERS AS WELL. SO ON. JUST ON ADA, THERE'S ALREADY A SET STANDARD, AND THAT'S WHAT THE CITY WILL BE BUILDING FOR THEIR THEIR. THEY TAKE ALL THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. AND THE REASON WHY I KNOW THAT IS BECAUSE I'VE BUILT A COUPLE OF THESE IN MY LIFETIME. BUT NO, THEY THEY HAVE THE RIGHT SIZED DOORWAYS. THEY HAVE THE SPACES. SO THIS IS THERE'S A STANDARD ALREADY THAT CITY HAS TO BUILD TO AND THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD THERE IS THERE'S NO YOU CAN'T TAKE SHORTCUTS ON IT. WELL NO, NOT ONLY THAT BUT THERE ARE PLACES WHERE, YES, YOU HAVE THE TOILETS THEMSELVES THAT ARE THAT. BUT YOU, WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET IN THE DOORWAYS, THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE. YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE THE DOORWAYS. IT'S GOING TO BE THE OPENING. EVERYTHING WILL BE SET TO THAT STANDARD. YEAH. JUST MAKING SURE WE'RE FOLLOWING THAT PROCESS. THANK YOU ALL. YOU'RE YOU'RE BOTH CORRECT THOUGH. EVERYTHING WILL BE ADA COMPLIANT. WE DID GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WITH THE RESTROOM BY THE KITCHEN. THAT WOULD BE A WHAT WE CALL A CARETAKER ROOM. THAT WOULD INCLUDE AN ADULT CHANGING TABLE AND AMPLE ROOM FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAD REQUESTED. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. 
          ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. YEAH, I THINK ON ON THE LAYOUTS. I'M NOT REAL CRAZY ABOUT THIS LAYOUT RIGHT HERE BECAUSE IT'S GOT TO FIX THE WALL. I REALLY THINK THAT OUR MAXIMA'S OPENING WOULD BE THAT OTHER SLIDE RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE ALL THESE WALLS RETRACT AND THAT OPENS EVERYTHING UP. AS DOCTOR SAID, NO HALLWAY BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE HALLWAY EITHER. AND THIS WILL TAKE US AWAY FROM THE HALLWAY WHEN WE CLOSE UP THE RETRACTABLE WALLS. AND I JUST KIND OF LIKE THIS CONCEPT A LOT BETTER BECAUSE IT GIVES US SIX CLASSROOMS. ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER RIZZO. INITIALLY IT WAS IT WAS NICE HAVING THE, YOU KNOW, THE CONCEPT OF TRYING TO TAKE SOME OF THOSE DIVIDERS OUT FOR THE VISIBILITY. BUT YEAH, IN RETROSPECT, I THINK GIVING UP THE ADDITIONAL MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS, IT DOESN'T OUTWEIGH IT. COUNCILOR ZUNIGA. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR, YOU KNOW, REALLY THINKING IT THROUGH STAFF OR KAZ AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAD THE RIGHT INTENTIONS WITH THE FLOOR PLAN TO TRY TO MAXIMIZE ITS USES AND FUNCTIONALITY. AND I JUST HAVE TO AGREE WITH LAURA LEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS. I THINK THAT SHE SHE'S KIND OF SPOKEN WITH KAZ A BIT MORE AND, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE CLASSROOMS WERE WERE VERY IMPORTANT AND STILL HAVING A VERY LARGE BANQUET ROOM THAT WE CAN REALLY CREATE WITHOUT A HALLWAY MIGHT, MIGHT BE BETTER SO THAT I'D BE LEANING TO THAT. ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS? COMMENTS I DON'T I DON'T CARE PERSONALLY WHICH WHICH WAY THAT IT GOES, BUT I DO HAVE SOME COMMENTS. NUMBER ONE IS THAT THE MY EXPERIENCE OF THE STRONGEST ADVOCATE FOR SENIOR ACTIVITIES IN MY ENTIRE NINE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE ON THIS COUNCIL IS DOCTOR HARRIS. 
          DOCTOR HARRIS HAS BEEN RELENTLESS IN HER PURSUIT TO BRING ABOUT. I THINK THAT THE IDEA OF SAYING THAT IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO MOVE A WALL BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT CONCEPTS FOR THE CITY, IS BETRAYING THE SENIORS, I THINK THAT'S VERY INAPPROPRIATE. THAT BEING SAID, I'M OPEN TO EITHER CONCEPT. SO IT'S JUST UP TO YOU GUYS. Y'ALL CAN TAKE A VOTE. 
          OKAY. I'D LIKE TO MAKE MOTION. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL CONCEPT SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS. SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER ZUNIGA THAT WE APPROVE THE ALTERNATIVE CONCEPT. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? YEAH. 
          THIS COUNCIL HAS THAT WALL SO IT LIMITS THE WALL. YEAH, IT IS THE ORANGE LINE. NO. YEAH. THAT WAS WE SAID THAT WAS AN ERROR. IT WOULD NOT HAVE THE WALL OKAY. SO HOW DOES THIS GIVE US MORE. 
          GIVES YOU ANOTHER BREAKOUT ROOM. BECAUSE IF THAT. SO THIS IS WHERE IT SAYS KEEP AND MOVE. SO THAT BECOMES SIX ROOMS. IT'S FIVE ROOMS. AND THE OTHER ONE GIVES US SIX. WELL IT'S THREE ON ONE SIDE, TWO ON THE OTHER. AND THE ONE THAT'S THE SAME SIZE WHERE IT SAYS KEEP AND MOVE AND MULTI-PURPOSE. THIS STAYS AS A BIG ROOM BUT NO WALL. YEAH, BUT THE OTHER CONCEPT KEEPS US THE 
          [03:00:01]
SAME WITH MORE SPACE. AND I DON'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THIS ONE. WELL, THIS ONE GIVES US ONE ONLY FIVE ROOMS FIVE, SIX, SIX. AND THE OTHER ONE GIVES US SIX AND GIVES US MORE OPEN SPACE. 
          BUT IT MOVES ALL OF THE PANELS OFF WHERE YOU HAVE A REALLY NICE BALLROOM AREA. I THINK THE MAYOR'S COMMENT WHEN HE ORIGINALLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO SUGGESTED TAKING OUT ALL OF THE PANELS WAS AND THE WALL WAS THAT WE GET A LARGER ROOM, MORE USABLE SPACE. AND I THINK THAT THAT HAS MERIT. SO THIS IS SO THE TOP ONE'S GOING TO TAKE OUT PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TOP. 
          CORRECT. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. PLEASE. SO DAVID, THIS TOP ONE I GUESS IT'S THROWING ME OFF BECAUSE YOU'RE TAKING OUT THE ACCORDIONS AND YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE ONE ROOM. SO WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH FOUR ROOMS IN THIS CONCEPT PLUS THE BIG LARGE ROOM, CORRECT? YEAH. FOR A TOTAL OF FIVE. SO THE ORANGE LINE SHOULDN'T BE THERE BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT. THAT WOULD REPRESENT A HARD LINE. YEAH, THAT WAS A HARD LINE. THAT'S WHY IT WAS IT WAS TELLING ME THERE WAS ANOTHER HALLWAY. IT WOULD GO AWAY. IT WOULD JUST BE OPEN. AND SO YOU REALLY WITH THE REALLY WHAT YOU'RE TAKING OUT IS BOY, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT THERE? IT'S ONLY FOUR ROOMS. NO, FIVE. 
          NO, BECAUSE IT'S ONLY GOT ONE ACCORDION. SO THIS THE TOP ROOM TURNS INTO ONE BIG ROOM AND THEN YOU GOT THE THREE BOTTOM ONES. IT'S ONLY FOUR ROOMS. NO, SEE WHERE IT SAYS KEEP. SO WE KEEP THAT ACCORDION THAT COMES FROM. IT'LL FOLD OUT FROM WHERE THE WINDOWS ARE TOWARD. THERE'S A. A POST THERE THAT IT WOULD BE ATTACHED TO WHEN IT FOLDS OUT AND WHERE THE, WHERE IT SAYS MOVE. THAT ACCORDION WOULD MOVE TO THE WALL BY THE KITCHEN. SO IT'S NOT DOES NOT IMPAIR THE VISION OF THE ROOM. WAS THERE TWO ACCORDION WALLS RIGHT THERE WHERE IT SAYS, KEEP ON THE TOP SIDE? WELL, ONE COMES, THAT ACCORDION COMES DOWN FROM THE WINDOW TO THIS OTHER ACCORDION. 
          THEY MEET THERE AT THE CORNER TO MAKE THAT ROOM, BUT IT'S THERE IN ONE OUT, SO IT TELLS ME THERE'S TWO THERE. YEAH. WHY IS THERE TWO? IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING, BUT IT WOULD BE THE ACCORDION WOULD MOVE WHERE IT SAYS KEEP WOULD MOVE TOWARDS THE HALL. SO YOU'RE JUST MOVING IT. 
          YOU'RE NOT. IT'S NOT TWO ACCORDIONS THERE. WELL THERE WERE YEAH. BECAUSE ONE THE X IS CONFUSING. YEAH. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN. YEAH. YOU COULD HAVE JUST DONE AWAY WITH THAT ONE AND JUST MOVED IT OVER. PROBABLY ON THE DRAWING. YEAH. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S THROWING ME OFF RIGHT THERE BECAUSE IT'S LIKE MOVING IT OVER TO THE, TO THE. YEAH. IT'S JUST IT'S USING THE EXISTING DRAWING SHOWING, TRYING TO SHOW A CHANGE. YEAH. AND FOR ME IT'S GETTING THE SIX SPACES IS PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT. THE REASON WHY IS WE HAVE A LOT OF GROUPS COMING OUT AND ASKING FOR SPACES AND HAVING CARS THERE DURING THE DAY, THE GROUPS IN THE EVENING. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH MEETING SPACE FOR EVERYBODY THAT IS ASKING FOR MEETING SPACE, BECAUSE COUNCILOR TOBIAS CAN TELL YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS CONSTANTLY ASKING US FOR MEETING SPACE AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE IT. SEEING THE RETRACTABLE WALLS GO BACK GIVES US THAT OPTION TO HAVE THE SIX ROOMS AND HAVE THAT OPEN MEETING SPACE. I. WE HAVE A MOTION. MOTION HAS BEEN CALLED NON-DEBATABLE. WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE. OKAY. MCKINNEY. NO. HEISER. NO. 
          HARRIS. YES. MITCHELL. YES. RIZZO. NAY. NAY. NAY. OKAY. ZUNIGA. YES. TOBIAS. NAY. NO. 
          MOTION FAILS. 3 TO 4. NEW MOTION. YEAH. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONCEPT WITH THE SIX BREAKOUT ROOMS. AND. NO, MAKING SURE WE HAVE NO FIXED WALLS THAT WILL TURN INTO A HALLWAY. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMAN RIZZO, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER TOBIAS THAT WE APPROVED THE MEGA MAX FLEX CONCEPT. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. ALL RIGHT. NEXT 
          [28) Consider approval of a resolution naming the facility located at 1500 Dacy Lane the Adell Hurst Activity Center.
Parks and Recreation Board recommended denial (5-0).]
UP IS AGENDA ITEM 28. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION NAMING THE FACILITY LOCATED AT 1500 DAISY LANE, THE ADELE HURST ACTIVITY CENTER PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD RECOMMENDED DENIAL 5 TO 0 ITEM PRESENTER MR. LOPEZ. THANK YOU MAYOR. SO A QUICK OVERVIEW WE RECEIVED. 
          [03:05:06]
WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER AN APPLICATION SUMMARY THAT WE RECEIVED. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE SOME BACKGROUND ON THE DALEHURST. THIS ITEM WAS BROUGHT BEFORE PARKS BOARD. SO WE'RE GOING TO SHARE SOME OF THEIR FEEDBACK ON THE ITEM POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS. AND THEN WE'LL TAKE YOUR DIRECTION AND FEEDBACK. SO WITH THE APPLICATION SUMMARY WE RECEIVED IT FROM THE CAS PRESIDENT ON MAY 13TH OF THIS YEAR. THE REQUEST WAS TO NAME THE CITY OWNED FACILITY LOCATED AT 1500 AC LANE, THE ADELE HURST ACTIVITY CENTER. THE APPLICATION ALSO INCLUDED 53 SIGNATURES OF SUPPORT. BY OUR CURRENT POLICY. THESE REQUESTS GO TO THE CITY MANAGER AND IT'S BROUGHT TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION. THE SOME BACKGROUND ON ADELE HER SHE WAS A COMMUNITY ACTIVIST IN KYLE WHO ADVOCATED FOR SENIORS. SHE BELIEVED THAT SENIORS HAVE A GATHERING NEED A GATHERING SPACE TO MEET THEIR NEEDS. THIS WAS OBSERVED THROUGH SEVERAL LETTERS THAT WERE SENT TO A FORMER PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR. ADELE HELPED TO ESTABLISH A KYLE AREA SENIOR ZONE IN 2006, AND SHE PASSED AWAY IN 2018. PARKS BOARD RECOMMENDED NOT APPROVING THE NAMING OF THE ACTIVITY CENTER, THE ADELE HURST ACTIVITY CENTER. THERE WERE CONCERNS OVER AN ACRONYM ALSO THAT ADELE HURST ALREADY HAS A BALLROOM NAMED AFTER HER AT THE REC CENTER. THEY ALSO EXPRESSED DESIRE TO GET INPUT FROM ADELE, HER FAMILY, AND NOT KNOWING HOW THEY WOULD FEEL FOR THIS NAMING, AND THEY ASKED IF ADELE HURST'S NAME COULD BE CONSIDERED, ALONG WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SENIOR POPULATION IN KYLE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SINCE THE PARKS BOARD MEETING WOULD WAS THAT WE FOLLOWED UP WITH THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION SUBMITTER, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO THE NAMING OF ADELE HURST COMMUNITY CENTER, WHICH WOULD MAKE IT MORE INCLUSIVE AND COMMUNITY CENTRIC, AND ALSO MITIGATE THE CONCERN OVER THE ACRONYM. ADELE HURST FAMILY WAS ALSO CONTACTED TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HYPOTHETICALLY SUPPORT A NAMING, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE HONORED. SO POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS IF NAMING WERE APPROVED, PARKS AND RECREATION WOULD WORK WITH OUR ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANT FOR BUILDING SIGNAGE AND ANY OTHER ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED FOR THE BUILDING. AND SO OPTION ONE WOULD BE APPROVED. THE NAMING AS PRESENTED. OPTION TWO APPROVE NAMING WITH CHANGES AND OPTION THREE WOULD BE TO DENY NAMING AT THIS TIME. AT THIS TIME I'LL TAKE ANY THOUGHTS. DO YOU CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE FIVE ZERO VOTE OF DENIAL MOTION BY THE PARKS BOARD? YEAH. SO THE PARKS BOARD, I THINK THERE WAS SOME CONCERN OVER THE ACRONYM. THEY THOUGHT WITH AHAC, THEY SAID IT BEING A LONG NAME, THERE WOULD BE AN ACRONYM. SO THERE WAS CONCERN THERE ALSO THAT THERE WAS ALREADY A BALLROOM NAMED FOR ADELE HURST. AND THEY WANTED TO MAYBE OPEN IT UP FOR OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE. SO YOU'RE SAYING SO WE DID TAKE A VOTE TO HONOR ADELE HURST LIKE A MONTH OR TWO AGO WITH REGARDS TO THIS FACILITY. I THOUGHT WITH THE PARKS BOARD, WE DID THE RECOMMENDATION BODY AND SO WE WANTED TO HAVE THAT FEEDBACK. I THOUGHT COUNCIL TOOK A VOTE ON THAT AS WELL. WE DID AS WELL. WE DID AS WELL. AND SO FOR THE CREW, THAT WAS FOR THE. BUT THEN BUT THEN WE MOVED IT TO THE WE RECOMMENDED TO MOVE IT TO THIS FACILITY TO NAME, YOU KNOW TO, TO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A NAME TO COMMEMORATE HER WITH A PLAQUE, I BELIEVE IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE. WE JUST TOOK THAT. WE JUST TOOK THIS VOTE. YEAH. IT WAS THE THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT HAD BEEN VOTED ON, I THINK IN MAYBE 2022 FOR THE ADELE, FOR THE NAMING. AND SO THE DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL AT THAT TIME WAS TO, TO PUT UP SOMETHING AT THE REC CENTER TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE NAMING. AND THEN THERE WAS SOME FEEDBACK GIVEN AT THAT TIME, MAYBE TO CONSIDER SOMETHING AT THE NEW FACILITY AS WELL. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, MAYOR, THERE IS A ROOM NAMED THAT HAS HER NAME ON IT CORRECTLY RIGHT NOW. AND WHEN THIS BUILDING IS FINALLY COMPLETED, BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOT THE KEYS TO THE BUILDING AND STARTED SWEEPING UP THE DIRT ONCE THAT ONCE IT ALL GOT BUILT OUT THAT WE WERE GOING TO DEDICATE A ROOM TO THIS PERSON. ON THAT END, I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE LEANING. WE'RE LEANING TOWARDS, WE'RE WE'RE LEANING TOWARDS. LET I KNOW YOU. I, WE HEAR YOU TRUST ME, WE HEAR YOU. BUT WE'RE, WE'RE WE'RE UP HERE IN THE DISCUSSION ON THIS END. OKAY. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT I'M RECALLING THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT IN THAT MEETING. I THINK WE HAD TALKED ABOUT MAYBE TRANSFERRING THE NAME OVER TO THE INSIDE OF THAT BUILDING IS WHAT I REMEMBER IN THE CONVERSATION. BUT I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER I KNOW THE SENIORS HAVE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, NAMING THE BUILDING WAS WE HAVEN'T AS A SUGGESTED. YEAH, WE JUST HAVEN'T DONE IT AS A DAIS. 
          SO ON THAT END. YEAH. SO, SO IF YOU STEP BEFORE YOU USED TO HAVE THIS FLOOR OKAY. SO RIGHT NOW. 
          [03:10:04]
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE AN ANONYMOUS FIVE ZERO OF NOT NAMING THE HURST ACTIVITY CENTER. I LIKE I SAID, IT SEEMS TO ME I GOT CAUGHT OFF GUARD RIGHT OFF THE BAT ON THIS. WE AGAIN, WE'RE STILL FIGHTING OVER THE CONCEPT DESIGNS THAT WE'RE ALREADY PUTTING A NAME AND A FLAG AND EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT WHO WHAT'S THE NAME GOING TO BE? I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE FIRST CONCEPT DONE FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE. BUT IF WE ARE TO LOOK AT NAMING A FACILITY MOVING FORWARD, I THINK LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION HERE IN A MINUTE ABOUT THESE ROADS THAT WE'RE RENAMING. WE WENT THROUGH A WHOLE COMMUNITY PROCESS. CORRECT. I THINK WE SHOULD STICK TO WHEN IT COMES TO NAMING BUILDINGS, OR IF WE'RE GOING TO GO THIS ROUTE IS TO LOOK AT OUR POLICY PROCEDURE AS FAR AS OUR NAMING OF THE BUILDINGS, I FEEL A COMMUNITY OUTREACH LATER ON, ONCE WE FINALLY GET THIS BUILT AND DONE, COULD BE A SUGGESTION, BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, IF I WAS TO HAVE A CHOICE, JUST KEEP IT LIKE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE A KYLE PUBLIC LIBRARY, WE HAVE A KYLE COMMUNITY CENTER. VERY BASIC FOR RIGHT NOW. AND IF WE DECIDE LATER ON TO WHERE WE WANT TO RENAME IT AFTER AN INDIVIDUAL, THEN WE TAKE THAT PROCESS THERE. 
          BUT YOU ALREADY HAVE ALREADY. RIGHT OFF THE BAT, IT WENT TO THE PARKS AND THEY VOTED FIVE ZERO NOT TO GO THAT ROUTE. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S JUST SAYING RIGHT THERE. LET'S JUST PUT A PAUSE ON NAMING BUILDINGS RIGHT NOW AND LET'S GET A LOT OF THIS PROCESS DONE AS FAR AS GETTING THE CONCEPT AND THE BUILDING GOING. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, LET'S REVIEW OUR NAME POLICY OR FOR OUR BUILDINGS. MAYBE WE CAN LOOK AT THAT LATER ON, BRIAN, TO SEE IF WE'RE FOLLOWING THE RIGHT STEPS TO GET THE NAMES CORRECTLY ON BUILDINGS, BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE. OKAY. BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A NEW PARKS AND REC BUILDING. YOU KNOW, WE MAY NEED WE MAY WANT TO CONSIDER RENAMING THAT ONE DAY. BUT LET'S JUST FOLLOW THAT PROCESS IN MY IN ON THAT. ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS. YEAH, I'M GLAD THAT KAZ'S REAL PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS THERE. YOU KNOW, ABOUT NAMING THE BUILDING. 
          BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OUR HISTORY HAS SHOWN US ON THIS IS THAT WHEN WE MAKE THAT DECISION, WE GET IN TROUBLE. I MEAN, WE'VE SEEN THAT WITH ROADS, WE'VE SEEN IT WITH OTHER THINGS AS WELL. 
          WE'VE GOT A HISTORY OF WE DECIDE ON THE NAME. WE'RE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE. I REALLY THINK THAT THE, THE RESIDENTS, THE CITY, THE, THE TAXPAYERS OF KYLE ARE PAYING FOR THIS BUILDING. THEY SHOULD HAVE THE SAY SO. AND WE, YOU KNOW, BRINGING UP A LIST OF NAMES JUST LIKE WE'RE DOING WITH THIS ROAD. LOOK, HONESTLY, WE'VE GOT A ROAD THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING UP, AND I'D LOVE TO NAME IT AFTER SOMEBODY THAT I SEE AS A ROLE MODEL IN THIS CITY. BUT I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT TO THE PROCESS BECAUSE I KNOW THE PROCESS IS THE WAY IT DOES. I'M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND SAY, I WANT THIS NAME ON THIS ROAD, BECAUSE I THINK THE PERSON THAT I'M MORE THINKING THE ROAD SHOULD BE NAMED AFTER SHOULD, YOU KNOW, JUST GET IT, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A PROCESS. I KNOW THERE'S TAXPAYERS THAT ARE PAYING FOR THAT ROAD. SO OUR RESIDENTS ARE PAYING FOR IT. AND AS MUCH AS IT PAINS ME NOT TO GET MY WAY, I'M GOING TO LET THE PROCESS HAPPEN. AND WHATEVER THE ROAD GETS NAMED, I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO, YOU KNOW, HONOR IT. RIGHT? AND THAT'S WHAT IT IS. I MEAN, THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE AS A COUNCIL JUST SHOULDN'T BE DOING. WE SHOULDN'T BE NAMING BUILDINGS AND ROADS. IF WE'VE SHOWN HISTORY HAS SHOWN US EVERY TIME WE DO THAT, WE GET IN TROUBLE. SO WE'VE LEARNED THAT WE ALLOW THE CITIZENS TO NAME THINGS. AND THAT'S REALLY HOW I THINK WE SHOULD DO IT, BECAUSE I THINK IF WE START NAMING THINGS, WE'LL GET IN TROUBLE. MAY I MAKE A MOTION? OKAY. NO. GO AHEAD. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DENY NAMING THE FACILITY TO 1500 DALEHURST ACTIVITY CENTER. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCILOR TOBIAS, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM THAT WE DENY AGENDA ITEM 28. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? YEAH. JUST BECAUSE WE'RE DENIED THIS DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE NOT GOING TO NAME IT. THIS WHAT WE'RE SAYING. WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW A PROCESS. WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO SUBMIT NAMES AND SEE WHERE WE GO. AND THIS COULD BE THE NAME OF THE BUILDING. I MEAN, WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT COUNCIL IS NOT GOING TO MAKE THE JUDGMENT OF NAMING THIS BUILDING. WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW IT TO GO TO THE CITIZENS, ALLOW THE CITIZENS TO NAME THE BUILDING. AND LIKE WE'VE WE'VE LEARNED IN THE PAST, THAT'S THE BEST ROUTE TO FOLLOW. SO WITH THAT, CAN WE AMEND THE. 
          YES, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO TO STATE THAT THEN. SO, MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO GO AND AMEND MY MOTION TO DENY NAMING THE NEW CENTER ADELE HURST. HOWEVER, TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE PROCESS OF AT A 
          [03:15:05]
LATER TIME TO DO A COMMUNITY OUTREACH FOR THE NAMING OF THIS CENTER, OR IS THAT AMENABLE TO THE SECOND? ALL RIGHT. SO THE MOTION IS TO DENY, BUT TO CREATE A PROCESS FOR NAMING IT THAT'S PUBLIC AT A LATER DATE, AT A LATER DATE, AFTER THE REVIEWING, BEFORE THE RIBBON CUTTING, AFTER OR BEFORE THE RIBBON CUTTING, I WOULD SAY, LET'S GET THE BUILDING BUILT FIRST. I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR A SIGN TWICE. YEAH. SO I WAS GOING TO SAY I DON'T PAY FOR SIGNS. FIRST. I'D LIKE TO DO IT BEFOREHAND. I'D LIKE TO START THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW AND START GETTING THAT WAY. 
          THAT WAY AS WE'RE, WE'RE WE'RE GETTING THROUGH THE COST. WHEN WE FINALLY PUT AT A LATER TIME BEFORE THE RIBBON CUTTING PROCESS. OKAY. BUT JUST A SECOND AGO, YOU SAID YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER. I MEAN, THAT WAS YOUR POINT, BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO NAME IT BEFORE THE RIBBON CUTTING, WHICH IS IN THEORY, IN SIX MONTHS, I MEAN, THAT'S A THAT'S AN IMMEDIATE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH. OKAY. SO YOU ARE SAYING YOU YOU DON'T WANT IT TO BE THE COMMUNITY CENTER OR THE OR WHAT? I FORGET WHAT. YEAH. IT WAS JUST YOU DO IT WAS JUST A BASIC GENERIC NAME. IF WE GO THAT ROUTE BECAUSE I KNOW IT DOESN'T HAVE RIGHT NOW, WE'RE CALLING IT THAT. I COULD MAKE THE MOTION TO NAME IT, TO COME UP WITH THE NAME KYLE COMMUNITY CENTER AT A LATER TIME. IF WE DECIDE TO NAME IT LATER, WE CAN TAKE THAT VOTE LATER ON. BUT I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE THE OFFICIAL NAME. THE WAY I HEAR THE MOTION, EVEN THOUGH YOU SAID AT A LATER DATE, BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH, THE. I'M OKAY WITH THAT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE JUST NOT NAME IT. OKAY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE JUST NOT NAME IT. RIGHT. SO I'LL JUST STICK TO MY ORIGINAL MOTION TO WERE TO DENY THE NAMING OF THE BUILDING AT THIS TIME. AMENABLE TO THE SECOND. ALL RIGHT. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE, AYE. ALL OPPOSED? NAY. MOTION CARRIES 6 TO 1. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS GOING TO BE 
          [17) Consider approval of a resolution adopting the Hays County Safety Action Plan and authorizing staff to develop and submit an application for the Safe Streets for All Grant Program in an estimated amount of $600,000 with a 20% match for the Kyle Safety Pilot Program.]
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 17. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A HAYS COUNTY SAFETY ACTION PLAN AND AUTHORIZING STAFF TO DEVELOP AND SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR THE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL GRANT PROGRAM AND AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF $600,000 WITH 20% MATCH FOR THE SAFETY PILOT PROGRAM. MR. TRIMBLE, THANK YOU. MIKE TRIMBLE, DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION, PUBLIC WORKS. WHAT WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD THIS EVENING IS PRIMARILY A REQUEST TO APPLY FOR A SAFE STREETS FOR ALL GRANT. WE WANT TO LOOK AT DOING A SAFETY ACTION PLAN FOR THE CITY OF IMPROVING TRAFFIC SAFETY HERE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. BUT AS PART OF THAT, AND WHAT MAKES US BETTER POSITION TO APPLY FOR THAT IS HAVING AN ADOPTED SAFETY ACTION PLAN ALREADY, AND HAYS COUNTY IS FINISHING UP THEIR PLAN. AND SO WE'RE BRINGING BOTH OF THOSE FOR CONSIDERATION, BOTH FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE HAYS COUNTY SAFETY ACTION PLAN TO BETTER POSITION US TO APPLY FOR THAT SAFE STREETS FOR ALL GRANT. AND ALSO, I WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE OUR NEW ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS, ROWLEY KOSARAJU. AND SHE'S GOING TO START TO WALK YOU THROUGH BOTH OF THESE ITEMS. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A CONSULTANT THAT WILL ALSO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE HAYS COUNTY SAFETY ACTION PLAN ITSELF. PROBABLY. HI. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. RAVALICO SERRANO, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING WITH THE DPW. SO I'M JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH THE SLIDES AS QUICKLY AS I POSSIBLY CAN WITHOUT SKIPPING ANY DETAILS. SO JUST TO GIVE YOU CONTEXT ON THE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL PROGRAM, IT IS AN INITIATIVE THAT CAME OUT OF THE IIJA OR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT, AND IT'S A PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2022. SO THIS IS NOW ITS FOURTH YEAR. AND THE PROGRAM FUNDS PLANS AT A REGIONAL, LOCAL AND TRIBAL LEVEL TO ALLOW FOR INITIATIVES THAT PREVENT ROADWAY FATALITIES AND SERIOUS INJURIES. AGAIN, A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, THIS PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED SUPPORTS THE US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S NATIONAL ROADWAY SAFETY STRATEGY. TRY SAYING THAT REALLY FAST AND ITS GOAL OF ZERO ROADWAY FATALITIES USING A SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH. 
          YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HEAR SAFE SYSTEM AND SAFE STREETS FOR ALL QUITE A BIT. SO JUST HEADS UP. 
          AND THE USDOT RECENTLY ISSUED A CALL FOR PROJECTS FOR THE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL, OR FOR A GRANT PROGRAM, WITH THE APPLICATIONS BEING DUE BY THE END OF JUNE. SO THAT CALL FOR PROJECTS IS FOR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. AGAIN, AS MIKE JUST BRIEFLY MENTIONED, CAMPO IS FINALIZING A REGIONAL SAFETY ACTION PLAN AND A HAYS COUNTY SAFETY ACTION PLAN THAT ADDRESSES THE SS FOUR GOALS AND PRIORITIZES THE HIGH INJURY NETWORKS AND CORRIDORS FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS. SO OUR 
          [03:20:02]
INTENT WITH APPLYING FOR THIS GRANT IS TO GET US SOMETHING THAT'S MORE TAILORED TO KYLE AND OUR STREETS, AND WHAT OUR RESIDENTS NEED IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC SAFETY. AND WE ARE CURRENTLY RECOMMENDING AN APPLICATION FOR THIS GRANT PROGRAM TO FUND THE KYLE SAFETY ACTION PLAN AND A SAFETY PILOT PROGRAM. SO THE GRANT APPLICATION WOULD COVER BOTH AREAS. NOW, AGAIN, TO KIND OF ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT AND LOOK AT IT IN A LARGER SCALE. THIS VISION THAT WE'RE COMING FORTH WITH IS VERY MUCH ALIGNED WITH TXDOT STATEWIDE VISION ZERO GOAL, WHICH IS TO ELIMINATE ALL TRAFFIC FATALITIES BY 2050. IT ALSO SUPPORTS THE MISSION OF THE NEWLY FORMED TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION DIVISION WITHIN THE TPW DEPARTMENT, AND IT REINFORCES THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO PROACTIVE AND SAFETY FIRST PLANNING. IN ADDITION, IT DEMONSTRATES THE CITY'S LEADERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY IN PROTECTING ALL ROAD USERS. IT BUILDS ON MOMENTUM OF PEER CITIES SUCH AS SAN ANTONIO, NEW BRAUNFELS, AUSTIN, LAREDO, AND SEVERAL OTHERS WITHIN TEXAS AND BEYOND THAT HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED VISION ZERO GOALS AND SAFETY ACTION PLANS. THIS ALSO SUPPLEMENTS THE REGIONAL SAFETY, VISION AND PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME ARE COMING OUT OF THE CAMPOS REGIONAL SAFETY ACTION PLAN. BUT WITH THE LIKE I SAID, A ZOOMED IN FOCUS ON CITY MAINTAINED ROADWAYS. THIS ALSO ENSURES THAT ALL ROADWAY PROJECTS, WHETHER THEY'RE CITY LED THROUGH OUR BOND PROGRAM OR DEVELOPER DRIVEN OR REVIEWED THROUGH THE SAFETY FOCUSED LENS THAT PRIORITIZES HUMAN LIVES OVER LEVEL OF SERVICE. AND THEN WITH THAT, I AM GOING TO PASS IT ON TO THE CONSULTANT THAT IS WORKING ON THE CAMPO SAFETY ACTION PLAN AND THE HAYS COUNTY SAFETY ACTION PLAN. I BELIEVE MATT AND HIS TEAM ARE REMOTE TONIGHT, SO THERE MAY BE A SLIGHT PAUSE WHILE WE TRANSITION. OH, OR NOT, GO AHEAD. HI. GOOD AFTERNOON. CAN YOU HEAR ME? THIS IS ALEX COLEMAN, CAMBRIDGE SYSTEMATICS, PRESENTING ON BEHALF OF THE PROJECT TEAM FROM THE HAYS COUNTY SAFETY ACTION PLAN. YEAH, WE CAN HEAR YOU. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO LIKE THANK YOU, EVERYONE, FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE PLAN TONIGHT. I'D LIKE TO WALK THROUGH JUST A BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT THE HAYS COUNTY SAFETY ACTION PLAN, WHICH IS A PORTION OF THE CAMPO REGIONAL SAFETY ACTION PLAN. AND WE CERTAINLY APPLAUD THE INTEREST FROM THE CITY OF KYLE TO TAKE THE EFFORT TO ADVANCE THEIR SAFETY ANALYSIS FURTHER. I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, THE ROAD SAFETY CHALLENGE. I MEAN, OVERALL ACROSS HAYS COUNTY, THERE ARE OVER 16,000 CRASHES BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS FIVE YEARS FROM 2019 TO 2023. AND YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS INCLUDED AN INCREASE OF FATAL AND SEVERE INJURY CRASHES IN PARTICULAR OVER THAT PERIOD. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A PERIOD OF DYNAMIC CHANGE BOTH PRE AND POST COVID. BUT, YOU KNOW, STILL SEEING SAFETY BEING A CONTINUOUS CHALLENGE. I'D JUST LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST CRASHES IN AGGREGATE, BUT REALLY WHAT ARE SOME OF THE TOP EMPHASIS AREAS THAT AFFECT CITY KYLE AND HAYS COUNTY AS A WHOLE. 
          WHETHER IT'S DARK CONDITIONS, ROADWAY DEPARTURE, ISSUES RELATED TO SPEED, FOCUSING AT INTERSECTION, AND DIFFERENT ROAD USERS AND BEHAVIORS. THESE CHALLENGES HELP SHAPE SOME OF THE STRATEGIES THAT WE REALLY BEGIN TO FOCUS ON AND TURN OUR ATTENTION TOWARDS. AS WAS MENTIONED, THE HAYS COUNTY SAFETY ACTION PLAN DOES REFLECT THE TEXAS ROAD TO ZERO GOAL TO REDUCE FATAL CRASHES IN HALF BY 2035, BUT THIS PLAN ALSO TAKES THAT A STEP FURTHER TO ALSO REFLECT SERIOUS INJURIES AS WELL, WITH AN AMBITIOUS GOAL OF REDUCING THOSE IN HALF BY 2035 AND ELIMINATING THEM BY 2050. THIS PLAN WAS DONE SO THE HAYS COUNTY TASK FORCE, MADE UP INCLUDING MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL, HAYS COUNTY, TEXAS AT AUSTIN DISTRICT, HAYS AREA OFFICE, THE OTHER CITIES, AND TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY. AS PART OF THE OVERALL BROADER CAMPO REGIONAL SAFETY PLAN EFFORT. AND THIS IS JUST SOME OF THE PROJECT MEMBERS THAT WE HAD DEVELOPED 
          [03:25:05]
THE PLAN. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF STEPS IN THE PROCESS. SO REALLY, WE WANTED TO BUILD UPON PREVIOUS WORK AND ANALYSIS THAT WAS DONE. LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, CURRENT SAFETY CRASH ISSUES AND TRENDS, WORK ON DEVELOPING POLICY AND PROCESS RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE REALLY SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TOWARDS HAYS COUNTY AND MEMBER CITIES, AS WELL AS CONDUCTING OUTREACH TO HEAR FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY IN HAYS COUNTY AND THE OTHER MEMBER COUNTIES AS WELL. AS WAS MENTIONED, THIS PLAN IS TO HELP LEVERAGE FUNDING THROUGH THE SAFE STREETS AND ROADS PROGRAM, BUT WE THINK IT'S STILL A GREAT BROADER FRAMEWORK TO REALLY CENTER SAFETY IN THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS AND IS REALLY GOING TO BE AN INVALUABLE BUILDING BLOCK IN DEVELOPING A BROADER REGIONAL SAFETY STRATEGY AS WELL. THIS PLAN HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER THE PAST YEAR. THIS IS AN OVERALL ROADMAP RIGHT NOW. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE AT THE COUNTY SAFETY ACTION PLAN PROCESS. THE HAYS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT LAST WEEK ENDORSED THE PLAN, AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO FULLY INCORPORATE IT INTO THEIR UPCOMING TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN. AND LATER THIS YEAR, THIS THIS PLAN WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE CAPITAL REGIONAL SAFETY ACT AS WELL. SO REALLY, IT IS TRULY A BOTTOM UP APPROACH TO RECOGNIZING SAFETY NEEDS. AND, YOU KNOW, PUTTING THEM INTO A BROADER REGIONAL SAFETY STRATEGY. THIS PLAN COULDN'T HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITHOUT THE ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OF THE TASK FORCE REALLY MEETING OVER FOUR TIMES AND AS WELL AS SOME ONGOING ENGAGEMENT AS WELL. YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAD THROUGHOUT THE REGION AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISING, REALLY, CONCERNS ABOUT SPEED, DEVELOPMENT OF SEPARATED FACILITIES FOR BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS, AND ISSUES WITH INTERSECTIONS AS WELL. I THINK THAT REALLY SHOULDN'T BE TOO MUCH OF A SURPRISE WITH THE DEVELOPING NETWORK IN THE CITY OF HAYS COUNTY, AND THIS PLAN REALLY LOOKS AT PRIORITIZING THOSE LOCATIONS WHERE IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE BEST EFFECTIVE. SO I'LL WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. REALLY, WE'VE LOOKED AT CRASH ANALYSIS TWO WAYS. A HIGH INJURY NETWORK THAT WAS BOTH. IT WAS BASED ON THE HISTORY OF CRASHES AND THEN ALSO A SAFE SYSTEM NETWORK THAT WAS BASED ON SYSTEMIC RISK. SO LOCATIONS WHERE SIMILAR CRASHES HAVE OCCURRED. SO WE CAN BOTH BE REACTIVE TO LOCATIONS WHERE CRASHES HAVE OCCURRED AND THEN ALSO PROACTIVE. SO BRINGING BOTH COMPLEMENTARY APPROACHES TOGETHER AND LOOKING AT STRATEGIES AND COUNTERMEASURES THAT ARE EFFECTIVE IN BOTH SITUATIONS. WE DEVELOPED BOTH LOOKED AT BOTH INTERSECTIONS AND SEGMENTS. AND YOU KNOW, THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK. IT REALLY IS A HIGH ENERGY NETWORK BECAUSE IT HIGHLIGHTS A SPECIFIC SUBSET OF THE OF THE ROADS IN THE COUNTY, EXCLUDING I-35, WHERE NEARLY HALF OF ALL FATAL AND SEVERE INJURY CRASHES OCCURRED. SO AND THAT'S JUST A 5% OF INTERSECTIONS IN THE COUNTY. JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THOSE HERE. SO ABOUT 60 INTERSECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AND WITHIN KYLE. SOME OF THESE PRIME LOCATIONS AND HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS COMING UP. AND IN REGARDS TO SEGMENTS, YOU KNOW, ABOUT 5% OF THE ROADWAY, YOU KNOW, CORRIDORS IN THE COUNTY RESULTED IN 36% OF ALL FATAL AND SEVERE INJURY CRASHES AS WELL. SO IT'S REALLY. NOTES THAT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A LARGE 
          [03:30:01]
POTENTIAL FOR CRASH REDUCTION JUST BY, YOU KNOW, REALLY FOCUSING ON THESE LOCATIONS. SO A NUMBER OF SEGMENTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY ARE REALLY. YOU KNOW, WANT TO TIP MY HAT TOWARDS AS PART OF THE HAYS COUNTY TRANSPORTATION BOND, THE CITY OF KYLE AND TXDOT, A NUMBER OF THESE LOCATIONS WERE ALREADY UNDER DEVELOPMENT, SO THERE REALLY WEREN'T THAT MUCH NEED OF RECOMMENDATIONS IN SOME LOCATIONS. BUT, YOU KNOW, THROUGH OUR PLANNING PROCESS, WE WANT TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE NEXT OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. SO IN TOTAL, WE LOOKED AT 30 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS AND 37 INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS. COUNTY WIDE. KIND OF REALLY AS A SUBSET OF THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK. AND THEN WITHIN THE CITY OF KYLE, REALLY ABOUT FOUR PROJECTS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS ITSELF WITH ABOUT THREE OTHERS OUTSIDE. IN THE ETJ AS PART OF THE COUNTY AND TECH STOCKS. SO THESE. ARE OVERALL JUST A NUMBER OF THESE LOCATIONS. SOME OF THE COUNTERMEASURES WERE REALLY INTENDED TO REDUCE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE'VE HAD LANE DEPARTURES, TURN CONFLICTS, AND AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE LIGHTING AND SIGNAGE TO REDUCE THE RISK OF OTHER CRASHES OCCURRING AND PROVIDE A BIT MORE AWARENESS ON THE ROADWAY. AND A NUMBER OF THE 37 LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND THEN WITHIN THE CITY. KYLE ITSELF. A NUMBER OF LOCATIONS WHERE CITY FACILITIES INTERSECT WITH ON SYSTEM ROADWAYS. SOME OF THESE MAY REQUIRE LARGER SCALE INTERSECTION RECONFIGURATIONS. BRING SOME MEDIANS, PROVIDING ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS AND SOME UPGRADES TO SIGNALS AS WELL. AND JUST KIND OF SOME OF SOME ILLUSTRATIVE FIGURES OF WHAT SOME OF THESE MAY INCLUDE. SO IN REGARDS TO LIGHTING ACCESS MANAGEMENT SIGNAGE. LOOKING AT PROVIDING ADDITIONAL TIMING AND SOME OF THE SIGNALS. AS WELL AS ENHANCING CROSSINGS IN PARTICULAR FOR PEDESTRIANS. THE NEXT STEPS ARE THE PLAN. AS I MENTIONED, HAYS COUNTY WILL BE INCORPORATING THIS PROJECT. LET'S DO A MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN. AND AS WELL AS THIS ENABLES JURISDICTIONS WITHIN THE COUNTY TO PURSUE SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL FUNDING THROUGH US. DOT. AND AS MENTIONED, THIS WILL BE FOR PLANNING AND DEMONSTRATION GRANT. AND JUST SOME OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AS WELL. 
          THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS IS ALSO LOOKING FOR SOME CAPITAL PROJECTS. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PRESENTER? MOTIONS COUNCILOR HARRIS. I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND. SO IS THE COUNTY APPLYING FOR THE GRANT OR IS KYLE APPLYING OR APPLYING JOINTLY? I MEAN IT'S DUE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. CORRECT. SO WE, THE CITY OF KYLE, ARE APPLYING FOR THE GRANT. THE COUNTY HAS ALREADY SECURED THE GRANT IN A PRIOR YEAR, AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THEIR PLAN PROCESS CURRENTLY. SO WE ARE COMING TODAY WITH A REQUEST TO SORRY, I DON'T KNOW. 
          MY CLICKER 600,000 600,000 IS THE GRANT APPLICATION REQUEST. AND WE DO A 20% MATCH ON THAT. 
          YES. YEAH. SO THAT WOULD BE $120,000 COST TO THE CITY. AND THAT IS A FEDERAL REQUIREMENT. 
          SO IT WOULD BE ANY OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS THAT WE JUST SAW LISTED OR WE ARE ALL OF THEM OR SO THAT THE MORE THE SUPPLEMENTAL PLANNING EFFORTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THAT WOULD HELP US KIND OF NARROW DOWN HOW TO PRIORITIZE THEM. AND IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL ONES THAT ARE NOT ON TXDOT SYSTEM THAT WE COULD FOCUS ON FIRST, BECAUSE MULTI-AGENCY PROJECTS TEND TO TAKE A BIT LONGER TO MATERIALIZE BECAUSE OF THE COORDINATION, BUT ALSO ANOTHER 
          [03:35:04]
CRITICAL ELEMENT THAT WOULD COME OUT OF THIS GRANT APPLICATION, ONCE APPROVED, IS THE ABILITY FOR US TO DO QUICK BUILD PROJECTS OR PILOT PROJECTS. SO IF THERE ARE CERTAIN ELEMENTS THAT INTERSECTIONS ARE ON ROADWAYS THAT WE WANT TO TRY OUT, THE GRANT APPROVAL WOULD ALLOW US THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO THAT. SO WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO WAIT FOR LIKE A FULL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT TYPE PROJECT. WE COULD GO IN WITH OUR CREWS POTENTIALLY TO DO A LOT OF THESE QUICK BUILD OR PILOT PROJECTS, OR HIRE A CONSULTANT ON A TASK ORDER BASIS, POTENTIALLY. ARE THESE GRANTS STILL AVAILABLE, AS FAR AS WE ARE TOLD, FUNDED? YES. SO THE USDOT WEBSITE, THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION, AND I'M SURE IT'S ON OTHER OTHER PEOPLE'S MINDS AS WELL. SO THE US DOT WEB PAGE FOR THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS SPECIFIC GRANT TYPE FOR THIS YEAR. SO YES, FOR SHORT ANSWER. OH YEAH. 
          YEAH. AND I JUST JUST TO ADD TO THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, AS YOU MAY RECALL, WE HAD BROUGHT A STAFF AUGMENTATION CONTRACT TO YOU FOR KIMLEY-HORN, AND THEY'VE BEEN ACTUALLY HELPING US AND ADVISING US ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS APPLICATION. AND AGAIN, THE FUNDING IS AVAILABLE AND THEY'VE BEEN ADVISING US ON HOW TO BEST POSITION OURSELVES TO, TO APPLY SUCCESSFULLY FOR THIS GRANT AS WELL. THAT'S ALSO PART OF WHY WE'RE BRINGING THIS TO YOU. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE WE, THE CHIEF, BROUGHT OUR ACCIDENT ANALYSIS TO US SOME TIME AGO. 
          SEEMS TO ME THAT IN KYLE, THE MAJORITY OF OUR SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WERE EITHER ON 35 OR THE 35 ACCESS ROADS. AND THEN AT 1626 AND COLERIDGE CROSSING. I HAVE SPECIAL, YOU KNOW, GRAY HAIR, LIMITED FIELD OF VISION, PUPILS THAT DON'T REACT TO LIGHT EXACTLY LIKE THEY USED TO. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION AS WE LOOK AT THESE INTERSECTIONS FOR OUR SENIOR CITIZENS. IT ISN'T ALWAYS THAT WE NEED MORE LIGHT. SOMETIMES WE NEED LESS BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY IMPAIRING THE VISION. ONCE YOU COME INTO AND OUT OF THAT INTERSECTION, ESPECIALLY AT 1626, IT'S EXTREMELY CONFUSING FOR THE OLDER PERSON. SO JUST WOULD LIKE SOME CONSIDERATION ON THAT. ABSOLUTELY. AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES HERE. 
          BY LOOKING AT A KYLE SAFETY ACTION PLAN VERSUS THE REGIONAL. AND THE COUNTY IS YOU KNOW AGAIN THOSE ARE DIFFERENT LENSES RIGHT. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE LARGER LENSES. AND THIS GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK SPECIFICALLY FOR KYLE. LOOK AT WHAT SPECIFIC PRIORITIES WE WOULD HAVE. OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD GO THROUGH A PROCESS ALSO GETTING A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS WELL TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THOSE PRIORITIES ARE FOR KYLE. AND THEN AGAIN, MAKE THIS PLAN UNIQUELY FOR KYLE. AND THEN WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE TO NOT JUST OUR MAJOR ROADWAYS, OUR MAJOR ARTERIALS, ALSO LOOKING AT OUR CONNECTIONS TO 35. BUT WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE AS WELL. SO I'M HOPING WE CAN ENCAPSULATE ALL OF THAT INTO THIS SAFETY ACTION PLAN FOR KYLE. THANK YOU. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE OPTION ONE FOR AGENDA ITEM 17. MOTION MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TOBIAS, THAT WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 17.

IS AGENDA ITEM 25. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH WARWICK'S DESIGN INCORPORATED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PLAYGROUND AT WATERLEAF PARK IN AN AMOUNT OF $637,271, PLUS A $31,863.55 CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY, FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $669,134.55 THROUGH THE BOB BOARD COOPERATIVE PURCHASING PROGRAM. MISS TRUELOVE, GOOD EVENING. JUST A LITTLE HISTORY ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. IN EARLY 2025, STAFF ASSESSED THE PLAYGROUND AT WATERLEAF PARK AND DETERMINE THE NEED FOR REPLACEMENT. IN MARCH, WE ENGAGED WITH WORK DESIGN TO DEVELOP AN ASSESSMENT AND PROVIDE TWO PLAYGROUND CONCEPTS. 
          WE TOOK THOSE PLAYGROUND CONCEPTS TO THE PUBLIC TO GATHER INPUT AND ALLOWED FOLKS TO SELECT THEIR FAVORITE CONCEPT. ON MAY 29TH, STAFF PRESENTED THE COMMUNITY SELECTION TO THE PARK BOARD, AND THE PARK BOARD UNANIMOUSLY, UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THAT COUNCIL CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE NATURE PARK CONCEPT, WHICH IS CONCEPT TWO. THE CURRENT EXISTING PLAYGROUND CONDITION HAS EXCEEDED ITS NATURAL LIFE CYCLE AT 20 PLUS YEARS OLD, THE 
          [03:50:03]
THERE ARE POOR PLAYGROUND ESTHETICS, NOT ENOUGH PLAY VALUE AND DOES NOT FEATURE VERY MANY INCLUSIVE COMPONENTS. SOME SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE CHALLENGES INCLUDE A PLASTIC ENTRANCE RAMP WITH NO ADA ACCESS, AND THERE'S A SLIDE OUT OF COMMISSION WITH COSTS OF 15 PLUS 15,000 PLUS FOR A REPLACEMENT, WITH SOME ADDITIONAL IMAGES OF THE CURRENT PLAYGROUND CONDITIONS. BOTH CONCEPTS THAT WE CONSIDERED OPTION ONE AND OPTION TWO HAD INCLUSIVE AMENITIES SYNTHETIC GRASS AND POOR IN PLACE SURFACING. BOTH USED EXISTING SHADE AND HAD ADDITION OF NEW SHADE. BOTH HAD COMMUNICATION BOARDS AND ZIP LINES, AND IMPROVEMENT OF ACCESSIBILITY AND MOBILITY THROUGHOUT THE PERIMETER. BOTH CONCEPTS PROVIDED DIFFERENT ESTHETICS. THE FIRST WAS MORE OF A TRADITIONAL PLAYGROUND ESTHETIC, AND THE SECOND WAS MORE OF A NATURE ESTHETIC. THE SURVEY RESULTS. WE HAD A TOTAL OF 305 RESPONSES BETWEEN MAY 5TH AND MAY 20TH. 23 RESPONDENTS, OR 23% OF THE RESPONDENTS, REQUIRED SPECIAL ASSISTANCE EITHER SENSORY, PHYSICAL, COGNITIVE, AUDITORY OR OTHER. OPTION TWO RECEIVED 58% OF THE VOTES, WHILE OPTION ONE RECEIVED 42%, AND THE NATURE CONCEPT WAS WELL RECEIVED AND PRAISED BY THE COMMUNITY. THIS NATURE CONCEPT INCLUDES IMPROVED ACCESSIBLE SURFACING, ENHANCED AND NEW SHADE INSTALLATIONS, NEW NATURE THEMED PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, AND THE ADDITION OF A PERIMETER SIDEWALK SEATING AND SHADE AROUND THE PLAYGROUND. COSTS. FOR THESE IMPROVEMENTS 614,000 WITH A 5% CONTINGENCY AND SOME ADDITIONAL RENDERINGS OF CONCEPT TWO. SO THE TIMELINE THAT WE HAVE SHOWS US HERE IN JUNE WITH THE COUNCIL FOR CONTRACT CONSIDERATION FOR CONSTRUCTION, LEAD TIME FOR EQUIPMENT BEING 6 TO 8 WEEKS AND CONSTRUCTION GRAND REOPENING IN THE AUGUST TO SEPTEMBER TIME FRAME. WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT FOR OPTION TWO WITH WALLICHS, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. ROSIE. THE ONLY QUESTION IS HOW DOES THIS 600,000 RELATE TO THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD EARLIER ABOUT THE OVERALL BUDGET FOR WATERLY, FOR THE PARKING LOT AND VARIOUS THINGS. SO THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THAT. MR. OR PART OF THAT AMOUNT, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION. IT'S ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THAT PROPOSED VISION, THAT FIVE YEAR CIP PLAN, IN THE FIVE YEAR CIP PLAN THAT WE JUST SAW. YES. IF YOU RECALL, THERE WAS A TOTAL OF $3 MILLION THAT WERE GOING TO BE FORECASTED FOR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. 
          THIS PROJECT IS INCLUDED IN THAT 3 MILLION FOR WATERLEAF OR JUST IN GENERAL WITH THIS PLAYGROUND FOR THE WATERLEAF PLAYGROUND. OKAY. I'M SORRY IT'S GETTING LATE. I'M TRYING TO. I'M JUST TRYING TO BE CLEAR. SO EARLIER WE LOOKED AT THE WATER LEAF AND STEEPLECHASE PARK BUDGETS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THOSE FACILITIES. WAS THIS PROJECT FOR PARKING? PARKING LOTS? THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. SO THIS IS IN ADDITION, I THINK IT WAS LIKE $1 MILLION OR 600,000 OR 900,000 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, JUST FOR WATER LEAF. BUT THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL AN ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT, CORRECT? CORRECT. OKAY. THAT'S JUST WHAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WAS CLEAR. AND ALL THOSE HAVE BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR. AND WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO COUNCIL OR A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND MOTION BY MAYOR, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER RIZZO THAT WE APPROVE. ITEM 25, DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION. YES. I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR TAKING THE SURVEY. AND IT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PARK. I'M GLAD TO SEE THE SHADE STRUCTURE IS IMPORTANT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? NOPE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. 
          [26) Consider approval of a construction contract with Capital Excavation Co. for the Kohlers/Bebee Road (West) project in the amount of $35,312,171.11, which includes a contingency of $3,531,217.11, for a total contract amount not to exceed $38,843,388.22, based on RFP 2022RB_01.]
NEXT UP, AGENDA ITEM 26. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A CONSTRUCTION. AND IT'S NOT LAST. BUT YOU GET IT. THE LAST DOLLARS I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SPEND. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH CAPITAL EXCAVATION FOR THE COLAS ROAD WEST PROJECT. IN THE AMOUNT OF $35,312,171.11, WHICH INCLUDES A CONTINGENCY OF $3,531,217.11 FOR THE TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $38,843,388.22, BASED ON RFP. 2022 RB UNDERSCORE ONE. HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO. THIS IS OUR SECOND ROAD BOND PROJECT THAT WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING FORWARD. 
          AS WE KNOW, IN NOVEMBER OF 2022, CITY OF KYLE VOTERS APPROVED PROPOSITION A, A ROAD BOND FOR EIGHT TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS ACROSS KYLE TOTALING 10.3 MILES OF NEW LOCATION RECONSTRUCTION AND WIDENING PROJECTS TO IMPROVE OUR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK. THE PROJECT BUILDS KOHLERS CROSSING FROM NORTHBOUND I-35 FRONTAGE ROAD TO SEATON PARKWAY AND BEEBE ROAD, FROM THE NORTHBOUND I-35 FRONTAGE ROAD TO SUNLIGHT BOULEVARD. IN JANUARY OF 2024, COLAS TO BEBE WEST PROJECTS WERE APPROVED BY COUNCIL APRIL 21ST. WE ISSUED THE RFP IN MAY 22ND, RECEIVED PROPOSALS FOR THE 
          [03:55:07]
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, CONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED FOR KOHLERS CROSSING AND BEBE WEST. THIS PROJECT WILL SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE, INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES AND ROADWAY REALIGNMENT TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS. AS WE SAID, THE NORTHBOUND I-35 FRONTAGE ROAD TO SEATON PARKWAY, APPROXIMATELY 1.11 MILES. IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE ROADWAY DRAINAGE AND PEDESTRIAN UPGRADES, INCLUDING CURB AND GUTTER, STORM SEWERS AND SIDEWALKS, INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITY ENHANCEMENTS, STRUCTURES, RETAINING WALLS, WATER AND WASTEWATER LINES, AND THEN MOBILITY AND SAFETY FEATURES. ROADWAY ILLUMINATION, TRAFFIC SIGNS, TRAIL AND NEW RIGHT TURN LANE ON I-35 FRONTAGE ROAD FOR THE WORK ON BEEBE ROAD. 
          AGAIN. ROADWAY DRAINAGE AND PEDESTRIAN UPGRADES. CURBS AND GUTTERS, STORM SEWERS AND SIDEWALKS. TRAIL AND SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDING ROADWAY ILLUMINATION. VIBE TRAIL, RECTANGULAR RAPID FLASHING BEACONS, AND KEY TRAFFIC ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDING A RIGHT TURN LANE FROM I-35 FRONTAGE ROAD, A NEW ROUNDABOUT AT BEEBE ROAD, KOHLER CROSSING, AND SEATON PARKWAY. MILESTONES ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORK. THE BEEBE ROAD WEST AND KOHLERS CROSSING WILL BE THE SECOND AND THIRD PROJECTS OF THE 2022 ROAD BOND TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION. 
          STAFF IS WORKING WITH THE GENERAL ENGINEERING CONSULTANT TO PLAN A GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY NEAR THE START OF CONSTRUCTION. FOR THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, WE RECEIVED SIX SUBMITTALS IN RESPONSE TO OUR RFP. THE PROPOSALS THAT WERE EVALUATED CAME FROM JOE BLAND, CONSTRUCTION CHASCO CONSTRUCTORS, CAPITAL EXCAVATION, CASH CONSTRUCTION, JORDAN FOSTER CONSTRUCTION, AND DENUCCI CONSTRUCTORS. WE EVALUATED THE PROPOSALS BASED ON CONTRACT PRICE, THEIR EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS, AND THEIR PROPOSED SCHEDULE AND CAPITAL EXCAVATION IS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. RECOMMENDATION ON THIS. EXCUSE ME. THEY DEMONSTRATED A STRONG REALISTIC SCHEDULE. ESTIMATED START DATE OF JULY 17TH, 2025 WITH COMPLETION ON JULY 1ST, 2027. THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH KYLE PROJECTS AND LOCAL EXPECTATIONS. 
          THEIR PROPOSAL CLEARLY ADDRESSED ALL OF OUR CITY PRIORITIES, AND THE PROPOSED STAFF, INCLUDING THE PROJECT MANAGER, HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE WORKING EXPERIENCE HERE WITHIN KYLE, AND THEY PRESENTED A SOLID, THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO PROJECT DELIVERY. WE HAVE OUR EVALUATION OVERVIEW. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE BID AMOUNTS AS THEY WERE SUBMITTED, NOTING THAT THIS WAS A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, NOT A LOW BID. SO WE DID EVALUATE THEM BASED ON THE ESTABLISHED EVALUATION CRITERIA. 
          AND CAPITAL EXCAVATION WAS THE HIGHEST RANKED PROPOSAL OF THE SIX THAT WE RECEIVED. SO CAPITAL EXCAVATION, THEIR TOTAL COST IS $38,843,388.22. OUR ORIGINAL ESTIMATE ON THIS WAS $46,745,950. SO WE ARE SAVING WITH THIS. WE THIS THIS THIS PROJECT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 17% BELOW OUR ORIGINAL ESTIMATE, OR A SAVINGS OF A LITTLE LESS THAN $8 MILLION. SO OUR RECOMMENDATION AGAIN, ROSIE, I'M SORRY I WASN'T LISTENING. YEAH. DO YOU MEAN TO SAY IT LOUDER? YEAH. THAT'S ALMOST AN $8 MILLION SAVINGS IN IN ONE PROJECT. AND THE CHANGE ORDERS COME IN. WE'RE NOT TOUCHING THAT. LET THEM KNOW THAT. NO, WE HAVE IT. WE HAVE A CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY TO COVER THE UNKNOWNS THAT WILL HAPPEN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. THE 3 MILLION. BUT WHEN THEY START SEEING THE SAVINGS, LET THEM KNOW THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE TOUCHED. OUR CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY IS ALREADY FACTORED INTO OUR 17% SAVINGS OF ALMOST $8 MILLION. CAN I SAY THAT AGAIN? $8 MILLION OF SAVINGS. AWESOME. OKAY, WE WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE CONTRACT WITH CAPITAL EXCAVATION. ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS TRUELOVE, MR. TOBIAS? OKAY. IN THAT AREA, I KNOW WE GOT THE SAVINGS COMING, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF LIGHT POLES ON BEEBE, RIGHT WHERE THE CARAWAY TRACK IS. SO ARE THEY LOOKING AT BRINGING SOME OF THOSE POLES DOWN? IS THAT PART OF THE PLAN? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THERE YOU GO. THERE THERE'S I MEAN. YEAH, THE WHOLE PLAN OF IT ALL. 
          AND YOU GOT FOUR LANES GOING UP TO KOHLERS, CORRECT? YEAH. THAT'S INCLUDED IN THESE PROJECTS IS TO UNDERGROUND UTILITIES ALONG THOSE ROADWAYS. AND WE ARE COORDINATING WITH THE CARAWAY TRACK DEVELOPER AS WELL TO GET SOME OF THAT WORK DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH PECK. YEAH. 
          OKAY. WELL YEAH. WE DON'T WANT TO GET THEM OFF THE HOOK. THEY'RE PART OF THIS DEAL TOO. 
          WE'VE WORKED REALLY LONG AND HARD FOR THAT. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING AS WELL. WE'RE COORDINATING CLOSELY WITH THEM. GOOD. THANK YOU. I DO THINK IT'S WORTH UNDERSCORING JUST THAT THE WHEN WE SET THIS BOND PROGRAM UP THAT WE DESIGNED AND ESTIMATED COST THAT INCLUDED COMPLETE STREETS, INCLUDING BURYING THE LINES. AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE 
          [04:00:05]
MOMENTS WHERE I'M REALLY GLAD THAT WE MADE THAT DECISION. SIDEWALKS, YOU KNOW, THE FULL THE FULL TREATMENT SO THAT WHEN THESE ROADS ARE COMPLETED, THEY'RE THEY'RE DESIGNED FOR THE LONG THE LONG HAUL. AND SO THIS IS JUST, JUST JUST THIS ROAD NUMBER TWO OUT OF HOW MANY. 
          EIGHT, EIGHT MORE. AND THIS IS A MAJOR THIS IS A MAJOR ROAD ON THAT BOND. TO SEE IT GOING UP AND GOING SEEING IT CONNECT EAST SIDE WITH THE WEST SIDE AND SEEING THE CONNECTIVITY THERE FOR THE AMENITIES IS GOING TO BE REALLY AMAZING. IT'S A IT'S A GREAT WIN FOR US TO GET THIS TO THAT LEVEL. SO WE DRIVE IT EVERY DAY ON 1626. SO NOW THE RESIDENTS CAN NOW UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADD SOMETHING TO COLORS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THAT BACKUP ALL THE WAY FROM LIKE WE'RE TARGET AND KOHL'S AND H-E-B YOU KNOW IT BACKS UP. AND THEN WITH MARKETPLACE OPENING UP SOON THEN IT'S GOING TO OPEN UP COLORS. AND THEN WE CAN CROSS OVER TO THE EAST SIDE. YEAH IT'S A HUGE NEW EXIT FOR FOLKS THAT GET BACKED UP ON KYLE PARKWAY FOR SURE TO I-35. AND THEN WHEN IT GOES UNDER AND WHEN YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEN CREEK ROAD COMING UP FROM THAT AREA, IT'LL NOW BRING THEM OVER A LOT QUICKER AS WELL. SO IT'S A WIN FOR BOTH SIDES OF I-35. COUNCILMAN HARRIS, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS IS CONSTRUCTION. THE DESIGN HAS BEEN DONE AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE STARTING IN JULY. IS THAT WHAT IT WAS? THAT'S RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S REMARKABLE. I DID NOTICE THAT THE THAT IN THE BIDS CAPITAL EXCAVATION WAS NOT THE LOWEST BIDDER. NORMALLY WE DO SEALED BID LOWS. AND SO IT'S A TESTAMENT TO CAPITAL EXCAVATIONS, YOU KNOW MOXIE IN THE REGION. BUT ALSO I JUST WANT TO SAY FROM AN EXPECTATION STANDPOINT THAT I FULLY EXPECT THE PROJECT TO GO OFF WITHOUT A HITCH AND ALL SCHEDULES TO BE MET. AND, YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE ALL THOSE THINGS TO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PAY FOR THE PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION FIRM TO DO THE JOB THE RIGHT WAY AND TO BE JUST ABOVE AND BEYOND A GOOD, GOOD VENDOR FOR US. I MEAN, IT'S NOT A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY EITHER. SO DO HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR THIS FIRM. DEFINITELY WANT TO BE FELT LIKE WE'RE A HIGH PRIORITY WHITE GLOVE TREATMENT, PERFECT, PERFECT PROJECT DELIVERY AND EXECUTION. I'D LIKE TO GO AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 26. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER RIZZO. WE APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 26. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? HAPPY TO VOTE ON THIS. YEAH, I'M HAPPY TO MAKE THE MOTION ON IT TOO. YEAH. THANK YOU. GOT ME. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? YEAH. YOU USED A LOT OF BUZZWORDS. YOU SET THE EXPECTATIONS REALLY HIGH. YEAH. GOT IT. NO COMMENT. ALL RIGHT. 
          ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 
          [29) Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction regarding street renaming for South Goforth Road to consider and approve the biography language and proposed options of 1) Paula Alvarez Parkway, 2) Chevo Pastrano Senior Parkway or 3) Becky Selbera Parkway.]
0. ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP. LAST ITEM. AGENDA ITEM 29. RECEIVER REPORT. HOLD DISCUSSION FOR STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING STREET RENAMING OF SOUTH GOFORTH ROAD TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE BIOGRAPHY, LANGUAGE AND POSED OPTIONS OF PAUL ALVAREZ PARKWAY TREVOR PASTRANO SENIOR PARKWAY OR BECKY SILVERA PARKWAY. MISS MCCOLLUM. DO YOU MEAN MAYOR AND COUNCIL? THE FOLLOWING ITEM IS KIND OF THE CONTINUATION OF OUR ORIGINAL DISCUSSION FOR THE RENAMING OF GO FORTH ROAD. IF YOU REMEMBER, BACK IN MARCH, WE COUNCIL SELECTED A THREE NAMES TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE ROAD RENAMING. WE WENT AHEAD AND FINALIZED SOME OF THOSE NAMES. I HAVE SOME PROPOSED FIRST NAME, LAST NAME AND PARKWAY FOR CONSIDERATION ON THESE ROAD RENAMINGS. AND THEN I HAVE SOME BIOS FOR CONSIDERATION THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE PACKET AS WELL. AND AGAIN, LUCKILY THERE'S NO EXISTING ADDRESSES ON THIS PORTION OF SOUTH GOFORTH, SO IT'LL TRULY BE A ROAD RENAMING. 
          WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE A COUPLE STREET STREET SIGNS. BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO DIFFICULT IN THAT REGARDS. PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION BROUGHT THIS TO YOU IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. WE KIND OF RAN THAT CONTEST FOR IT. AND THOSE WERE THE THREE NAMES SELECTED. AGAIN, OUR ROAD RENAMING CRITERIA REALLY KIND OF OUTLINES THAT. NEW STREET NAMES OR SHOULD BE ADOPTED BY A RESOLUTION. SO WITH THAT, AFTER CONSIDERATION AND DIRECTION, WE WOULD COME BACK WITH WITH TRULY A RESOLUTION FOR RENAMING 901 ADDRESSING DID RECOMMEND THAT THE ENDING OF THE STREET NAME BE ONE OF THESE FIVE. I PROPOSED PARKWAY FOR THESE ROAD RENAMING AND AGAIN LOOKING AT PAULA PARKWAY, PASTRANO SENIOR PARKWAY AND BECKY SILVERA PARKWAY. OKAY. SO THE INTENTION IS TO SEND OUT A SURVEY TO ANYONE TO VOTE. OR ARE YOU TRYING TO? IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU. SO I THINK IF YOU 
          [04:05:06]
WOULD LIKE TO SELECT ONE OF THESE THREE AND THEN WE CAN COME BACK AND DO A RESOLUTION, OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, ATTACHING THESE BIOS WITH IT, WE CAN DO THAT AS, AS WELL. SO REALLY YOU HAVE QUITE A FEW OPTIONS TO CONSIDER. WELL, I THINK THE, THE GOAL AND PLAN WAS TO PUT OUT A SURVEY TO THE COMMUNITY, LET THE SURVEY GIVE THEIR FEEDBACK. AND THEN MY INTENTION IS TO FOLLOW WHATEVER THE COMMUNITY SAYS ON THIS ONE. BUT IS THAT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS THINKING IS GOING TO HAPPEN? IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO GO OUT. I THINK THAT'S PERFECT. I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON THE BIO FOR PAULA ALVAREZ. IT WAS REALLY SHORT, DIDN'T REALLY HIGHLIGHT A LOT OF WHAT SHE DID. I REACHED OUT TO HER SON FOR THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE OF WHAT PAULA MEANT TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND I WAS GOING TO WRITE THIS UP, BUT HE WROTE UP A REALLY COOL TESTAMENT. I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HER SON, GARY ALVAREZ. MICHAEL AND I BOTH WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HIM. REALLY GREAT INDIVIDUAL. BUT HERE'S WHAT HE WROTE OUT WAS HE SAYS, PAULA ALVAREZ, THERE'S SO MUCH I COULD SAY ABOUT MY MOTHER AND HER SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT IF I HAD TO DESCRIBE HER IN JUST A FEW WORDS, IT WOULD BE DEVOTED SELFLESSNESS AND TIRELESS. FROM THE TIME I WAS YOUNG, I SAW HER DEEP COMMITMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF KYLE FIRSTHAND. SHE DIDN'T JUST TALK ABOUT SERVICE, SHE LIVED IT. SHE WOULD TAKE ME ALONG TO CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, AND I'D WATCH HER WALK DOOR TO DOOR, NOT BECAUSE SHE WAS CAMPAIGNING, BUT BECAUSE SHE GENUINELY CARED ABOUT LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE, ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THEIR CONCERNS AND EARNING THEIR TRUST. MY MOTHER NEVER WAVERED FROM AN ELECTION CYCLE TO GET INVOLVED. SHE BELIEVED COMMUNITY SERVICE WAS A FULL TIME CALLING, AND SHE TOOK THE ROLE SERIOUSLY. SHE WORKED UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, SERVING THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATIONS OF BILL CLEMENTS, MARK WHITE AND ANN RICHARDS. IN HER ROLE AS LIAISON, SHE HANDLED PUBLIC COMPLAINTS AND POLITICAL CONCERNS, ALWAYS STRIVING TO BE A VOICE FOR THOSE WHO NEEDED HELP THE MOST. SHE FOUNDED THE FIRST CALL CENTER FOR THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, AN INITIATIVE THAT CONTINUES TO SERVE TEXANS TO THIS DAY GOVERNOR ANN RICHARDS. SHE AND WITH HER, SHE BROKE BARRIERS AND BECOMING THE FIRST HISPANIC WOMAN TO SERVE AS DIRECTOR OF TEXAS CRIME STOPPERS, ALL WHILE STILL GIVING HER TIME TO KYLE. AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. SHE WAS A THREE. 
          SHE'S A THIRD GENERATION RESIDENT OF KYLE. IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT ON THERE, AND SHE HAD A LOT OF EARLY, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? DOLLARS WE GOT FOR OUR POLICE, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. SHE WAS A BIG ADVOCATE FOR THAT, HELPED SECURE FUNDING FOR THOSE PROJECTS. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED. AND HE FINISHES OFF, I DON'T I DON'T SAY THESE THINGS LIGHTLY. 
          I'VE LIVED THROUGH IT. I'VE SEEN EARLY MORNINGS AND THE LATE NIGHTS, THE MEETINGS, THE PHONE CALLS AND THE HARD CONVERSATIONS. THROUGH IT ALL, HER UNWAVERING DETERMINATION TO MAKE KYLE A BETTER PLACE. SHE HAS BEEN MY ROLE MODEL AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, AND SHE'S PROVED THAT WHAT ONE PERSON, MAN OR WOMAN CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AND WITH THAT, JUST WANT TO SAY, I JUST WANT TO ADD MORE TO HER BIO. YOU CAN GO BACK OFF THE MINUTES OFF THIS, BUT LOOK, THEY'RE ALL GREAT CANDIDATES. HONESTLY. YOU KNOW, THEY ALL SERVED OUR COMMUNITY AND I'M GREAT. THE ONLY REASON I'M REALLY ADVOCATING IS BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST MET PAULA, I WAS A YOUNG BOY, AND I KNOW THE WORK THAT SHE'S PUT INTO THE CITY AND HOW MUCH SHE CARES ABOUT IT. AND BEING THE THIRD GENERATION RESIDENT OF KYLE, I GUESS MY CONCERN IS JUST THAT, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR HER WHILE SHE'S STILL HERE BECAUSE SHE'S GETTING UP IN AGE AND SHE'S GETTING SOME STUFF, BUT I'M GOOD WITH PUTTING IT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE BIO IS MORE COMPLETE, BUT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. I WILL SAY YOU'RE YOU'RE RIGHT, ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE ARE I MEAN, THERE'S A REASON WHY YOU'VE SELECTED THEM TO BE CONSIDERED. WE TRY TO KEEP THE BIOS ABOUT THE SAME LENGTH. SO THAT'S PARTLY WHY YOU KIND OF SOME MIGHT SEEM, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT SHORT AND NOT HIGHLIGHTING MAYBE THEIR ENTIRE KIND OF CAREERS AND STUFF. BUT SO YES, I'M WE'RE OPEN TO ADDING ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO THE INDIVIDUAL BIOS. THIS IS PAULA ALVAREZ AS THE PROPOSED BIO FOR CHAVO PASTRANO SENIOR AT ALL. APOLOGIES. I KIND OF FELT THAT SHE WAS A THIRD GENERATION RESIDENT OF KYLE. IT DID HIGHLIGHT THAT ON SOME AREA SO THEY COULD GET THE MISUNDERSTANDING THAT SOMEBODY WAS BORN HERE AND PAULA WASN'T. SO. AND THEN WHEN WE I KNOW THE MAYOR HAD ASKED ME FOR SOME OF HER HIGHLIGHTS SHE HAD DONE IN HER CAREER AND SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS SHE DID, SO THAT, I MEAN, SOMETIMES WE JUST DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THEY SERVED WAY BEFORE WE WERE HERE. YEAH. ARE YOU IS EVERYONE OKAY WITH ADDING THAT SHE'S A THIRD GENERATION RESIDENT OF KYLE TO THE BIO. TO WHO AGAIN? MISS ALVAREZ TO MISS ALVAREZ. YES, SIR. IS THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THE BIOS AS THEY'RE WRITTEN? NO, SIR. NOT ON MY END. I KNOW. I REACHED OUT TO THE I KNOW TO THE THREE FAMILIES AND, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION 
          [04:10:01]
THAT WE GATHERED THAT THAT COULD NOT BE INCLUDED JUST FOR THE SAKE OF, OF, YOU KNOW, KEEPING EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, RELATIVELY EVEN LIKE LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, YOU KNOW, I REALLY WISH WE COULD PUT EVERYTHING OUT THERE. LIKE THERE'S SO MUCH THAT, YOU KNOW, I ALMOST FEEL LIKE I'VE DONE A DISSERVICE TO, TO THE, THE, THE ALVAREZ AND THE PASTRANO FAMILY BY NOT HAVING EVERYTHING INCLUDED. BUT I DON'T KNOW BECKY ENOUGH TO GET THE INFORMATION. WELL, BUT SEE, THAT'S THE CHALLENGE. WHO WHO PERSONALLY KNOWS ONE PERSON OR THE OTHER. I DON'T KNOW THE OTHER TWO, BUT I PERSONALLY KNOW BECKY AND SO BUT I THINK THAT THE PRODUCTION OF THESE PARTICULAR BIOS KEEP IT, KEEP IT FAIRLY EVEN. AND I HOPE THAT ALL THREE FOLKS AND THEIR FAMILIES FEEL EXTREMELY HONORED, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. WE'RE TRYING TO RECOGNIZE ALL OF THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS IN IN DIFFERENT WAYS. AND I GUESS I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF GETTING TO KNOW ALL THREE INDIVIDUALS. I STILL WORK WITH MR. PASTRANO THROUGH THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS. SO WE'RE STILL WORKING TOGETHER. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A TOUGH, TOUGH DECISION. BUT I'M GLAD IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS AND WE'LL LET THE RESIDENTS DECIDE. AND I'M GOOD WITH THAT. DO YOU NEED SPECIFIC ACTION FROM US JUST ON THE CHANGE OF YEAH, I WAS GOING TO ADD THAT TO A MOTION, BUT I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THAT'S IT. AND THEN JUST MAYBE TELL ME HOW LONG YOU WANT IT TO BE OUT FOR CONSIDERATION. OH, I WHATEVER I WOULD SAY, JUST WHATEVER PROCESS YOU ALL WANT TO GO THROUGH TO BE THOROUGH. AND WHEN YOU'RE READY TO BRING IT BACK, THEN BRING IT BACK. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SAY.
