Dec 02, 2025 City Council Regular Meeting

[4) Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff feedback on the draft Housing Assessment being conducted by HousingWorks of Austin for the City of Kyle.]

UP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR RECEIVER REPORT. WHOLE DISCUSSION PROVIDES STAFF FEEDBACK ON THE DRAFT HOUSING ASSESSMENT BEING CONDUCTED BY HOUSING WORKS OF AUSTIN FOR THE CITY OF KYLE. MISS TRUELOVE, GOOD EVENING. ROSIE TRUELOVE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT. WE'RE HERE TODAY TO HAVE A MOMENT TO CHECK IN ON THE WORK THAT IS BEING CONDUCTED AROUND THE HOUSING ASSESSMENT FOR THE CITY OF KYLE. BACK IN MARCH OF 2025, WE APPROVED THE CONTRACT WITH HOUSING WORKS OF AUSTIN, OF AUSTIN TO DO THIS HOUSING ASSESSMENT. THIS IS GOING TO BUILD OFF PREVIOUS DATA THAT HAD BEEN COMPILED BY HOUSING WORKS AND WILL HELP US TO ANALYZE CURRENT HOUSING NEEDS THAT WILL HELP TO INVENTORY AND INFORM AND AID US IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING STRATEGIES, AND HELP US REALLY TO AVOID THE PATCHWORK APPROACH OF HOUSING DIVERSITY. THIS IS AT THIS POINT WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW, REALLY A CHECK IN WITH THE COUNCIL. WE HAVE DONE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DATA CRUNCHING. HOUSING WORKS IS GOING TO SHARE SOME OF THAT DATA WITH YOU FOR SOME OF OUR PRELIMINARY FINDINGS THAT WE HAVE, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE CONTINUING OUR DATA ANALYSIS WHILE WE MOVE INTO MORE OF A QUALITATIVE SPACE WHERE WE'LL HAVE SOME FOCUS GROUPS, WE'LL HAVE SOME INTERVIEWS WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS, WITH STAFF MEETINGS WITH BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. AND SO BEFORE WE REALLY START THAT MORE PUBLIC FACING PHASE OF THIS WORK, WE WANTED TO COME AND JUST HAVE A MOMENT TO SHARE SOME OF OUR PRELIMINARY INFORMATION WITH YOU. WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO AVEZAAT. HE'S WITH HOUSING WORKS OF AUSTIN, AND HE'S GOING TO PRESENT THE PRELIMINARY INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE, AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. AS MISS TRUELOVE MENTIONED, HOUSING WORKS HAD BEEN ENGAGED WITH THE CITY OF KYLE TO REALLY LOOK AT HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT. AND WE'RE SORT OF IN THE MIDWAY POINT. SO IT'S FELT LIKE A REALLY GREAT

[00:50:04]

POINT TO TOUCH BASE WITH YOU ALL AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME THINGS. AGAIN, MY NAME IS AVEZAAT. I SERVE AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HOUSING WORKS AUSTIN. JUST TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, KICK OFF. WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT THINGS, JUST GOING OVER SOME PRELIMINARY DATA AND FINDINGS AND TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT NEXT STEPS IN THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT. AND THEN MY HOPE WOULD BE THAT WE CAN, IF YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS THAT CAN INFORM THE REST OF THE WORK AS WE MOVE FORWARD. SO IN TERMS OF DELIVERABLES, OUR HOPE WITH THIS IS REALLY TO HAVE A REPORT WITH SOME RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON WHAT WE HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY AND FROM COUNCIL AND STAFF, THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF COURSE, AND A PRESENTATION SET OF PRESENTATION SLIDES. WE WILL BE PRESENTING THIS TO, OF COURSE, COUNCIL, BUT ALSO OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AS NECESSARY, BUT ALSO LEAVE A PACKET WITH STAFF IF THAT INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE FURTHER SHARED. OUR TIMELINE REALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT IT. WE STARTED IN MID-SUMMER AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH ESSENTIALLY SPRING, WHERE, AS MR. MENTIONED, WE'RE WRAPPING UP THAT FIRST STAGE OF SCOPING OUT WHAT THE PROJECT LOOKED LIKE, TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE QUANTITATIVE SIDE, AND THEN WE'LL BE MOVING INTO MORE OF THE QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT AND REALLY ENGAGING WITH THE COMMUNITY ON SOME QUESTIONS AROUND HOUSING NEEDS, THE STUDY GOALS I WON'T GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAILS, BUT REALLY THE FIRST PIECE IS, AGAIN, THAT QUANTITATIVE PIECE LOOKING AT SOME QUALITATIVE DATA AND ENGAGING WITH THE COMMUNITY, ASSESSING SOME OF THE EXISTING HOUSING SUPPORT PROGRAMS, HOW TO LEVERAGE THOSE FURTHER AND THEN PROVIDING RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND AS I MENTIONED, IN TERMS OF THE STATUS, WE'RE THE QUANTITATIVE SIDE IS NEARING COMPLETION. SO THIS IS A POINT FOR US TO GET FEEDBACK FROM YOU ALL, SEE IF THERE'S ANY GAPS THAT NEED TO BE FILLED, WORK WITH STAFF TO FILL THOSE AND THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH REALLY LOOKING AT HOW DO WE ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY ON THIS JUST VERY QUICKLY ABOUT HOUSING WORKS? WE ARE A LOCAL NONPROFIT THAT IS FOCUSED ON EXPANDING AFFORDABLE AND ATTAINABLE HOUSING IN CENTRAL TEXAS THROUGH RESEARCH, EDUCATION, INITIATIVES, AND ADVOCACY. I'LL START OFF BY JUST GOING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT JUST SOME HOUSING METRICS AT A GLANCE, AND I SHOULD PREFACE THIS BY SAYING I'M GOING TO BE GOING OVER A BUNCH OF DATA, HAPPY TO SLOW DOWN OR ANSWER QUESTIONS AS NECESSARY, AND I WON'T BE GOING OVER ALL OF IT, BECAUSE HOPEFULLY SOME OF IT SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT YOU CAN GO OVER. I WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE'S TIME. THE CRITICAL THING TO THINK ABOUT HERE IS LOOKING AT THAT BOTTOM LEFT BOX FOR THE COST OF LIVING, GENERALLY SPEAKING, RIGHT NOW, FOR A MEDIAN FAMILY IN THE CITY OF KYLE, THE MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME IS AROUND A LITTLE OVER $100,000. SO SIX FIGURES AND THE AVERAGE RENT PER MONTH IS LOOKING AT OVER 1200 AROUND $1,250. SIMILARLY, FOR MEDIAN HOME PRICE, WE'RE LOOKING AT AROUND $328,000, $100,000 IN A LITTLE OVER THAT MIDDLE PIECE. YOU'LL SEE IN TERMS OF THE BREAKUP BETWEEN RENTERS AND OWNERS, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A ONE THIRD TO TWO THIRDS SPLIT. SO THERE'S NEARLY ONE THIRD RENTERS IN THE CITY OF KYLE TO THIRD HOMEOWNERS AMONG ALL HOUSEHOLDS. I'LL AGAIN, I WON'T GO OVER EVERYTHING. I'LL MOVE TO THE SUBSIDIZED HOUSING. WE'LL BE ABLE TO DIG INTO IT A LITTLE DEEPER. SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT ESSENTIALLY, CURRENTLY, THE CITY OF KYLE HAS AROUND 1200 EXISTING SUBSIDIZED UNITS IN SUBSIDIZED. I TRULY MEAN THESE HAVE REQUIRED SOME KIND OF SUBSIDY THAT HAS GONE INTO THEM. THAT REALLY MEANS THAT THERE'S A LEGAL PROTECTION ON WHO CAN BE SERVED BY IT. AND THEN THERE'S AROUND A LITTLE OVER 300 UNITS THAT ARE IN THE PLAN PHASE. THEY'RE NOT OPEN YET. THE LAST THING ON THIS SLIDE THAT I JUST WANT TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO IS THAT TOP RIGHT CORNER LOOKING AT WORKERS. WE'LL DIG INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF PERCENTAGES, BUT YOU'LL SEE AROUND 1200 WORKERS LIVE AND WORK IN KYLE. NEARLY 7200 WORK IN KYLE, BUT LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY. AND THEN, OF COURSE, A MAJORITY OF RESIDENTS NEARING 24,000 LIVE IN THE CITY OF KYLE WOULD WORK OUTSIDE OF THE CITY ITSELF. IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT WHERE DO HOUSEHOLDS LAND, IN TERMS OF HAVING VULNERABILITY, IN TERMS OF HAVING ACCESS TO HOUSING? THE SORT OF STANDARD WAY OF LOOKING AT THAT IS WHAT IS CALLED COST BURDEN. SO COST BURDEN IS ESSENTIALLY ANY HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE SPENDING MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR INCOME ON HOUSING RELATED COSTS ARE CONSIDERED COST BURDEN. AND HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE SPENDING MORE THAN 50% OF THEIR INCOME ON HOUSING RELATED COSTS ARE CONSIDERED EXTREMELY COST BURDEN. THE NOTION ESSENTIALLY IS, AND THIS IS A FEDERAL GUIDELINE THAT HONESTLY GOES BACK NEARLY A CENTURY, WE WANT HOUSEHOLDS TO NOT BE SPENDING AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF THEIR HOUSING IN THEIR HOUSEHOLD COST ON HOUSING RELATED EXPENSES, BECAUSE THEN THAT ESSENTIALLY MEANS THAT THEY WILL BE IMPACTING EDUCATION, HEALTH ACCESS, ELDER CARE, SENIOR CARE, CHILD CARE, AND SO ON. ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR A FAMILY IN A HOUSEHOLD TO THRIVE.

AGAIN. I'LL FOCUS NEARLY ON THE CITY OF KYLE PORTION OF THIS. YOU'LL SEE THAT WITH COST BURDEN, OWNERS WHO HAVE A MORTGAGE CURRENTLY ACTIVE, AROUND 25% OF THOSE ARE COST BURDEN, I.E. THEY'RE PAYING MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR INCOME TOWARDS HOUSING, AND THEN

[00:55:03]

AROUND 7% OF THOSE ARE REALLY PAYING MORE THAN 50% TOWARDS HOUSING. SIMILARLY, FOR OWNERS THAT DO NOT HAVE A CURRENT MORTGAGE, EITHER MORTGAGE HAS BEEN PAID OFF, OR THEY MIGHT HAVE BOUGHT IT IN A CASH SETTLEMENT OR OTHER MEANS. ESSENTIALLY, WITHIN THOSE THERE'S A MUCH LOWER NUMBER, 11% ARE COST BURDENED, AND THEN ANOTHER 3% ARE. WITHIN THAT, 3% ARE EXTREMELY COST BURDEN. YOU'LL NOTICE, OF COURSE, THAT RENTERS ARE HIGHLY COST BURDEN.

THIS IS TRUE ACROSS NOT ONLY JUST THE REGION, AS YOU CAN SEE, BUT ACROSS THE NATION. 55% OF RENTERS CURRENTLY IN THE CITY OF KYLE ARE WOULD BE PAYING MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR INCOME ON HOUSING RELATED COSTS. AND THEN NEARLY ONE THIRD OF RENTERS ARE PAYING MORE THAN 50%, WHICH AGAIN, ARE TIED TO SORT OF INDICATORS OF VULNERABILITY AS COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO DO I ADD UP THOSE NUMBERS? TO COME UP TO THE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT 87% OF RENTERS ARE COST BURDEN? NO, SIR. SO THAT 30%, 32% IS NESTED WITHIN THE WITHIN THE 55%. SO 32% ARE PAYING MORE THAN 50 AND THEN 32 AND THEN ANOTHER 23 ARE INCLUDED. ARE ALL PAYING MORE THAN 30%? THANK YOU. FOR JUST DIGGING INTO SOME THINGS JUST TO SORT OF STANDARDIZE SOME INFORMATION. AGAIN, THERE'S A LOT ON THIS SLIDE, BUT THE MAIN POINT IS KYLE IS NESTLED WITHIN THE AUSTIN ROUND ROCK AND SAN MARCOS, WHAT'S CALLED THE METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA, OR MSA AS DEFINED BY THE CENSUS BUREAU. AND THESE ARE ALSO BY THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET. THOSE ARE SORT OF WHAT'S FOLLOWED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS A GUIDELINE. AND YOU'LL SEE THAT FOR MOST OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS, BUT INCLUDING SEVERAL STATE PROGRAMS, MOST OF THE QUALIFICATIONS ARE BASED ON THE INCOME LEVELS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTIRE REGION. AND THIS IS TRUE FOR EVERY COUNTY CITY, JURISDICTION WITHIN THE REGION THAT MIGHT BE UTILIZING THAT FUNDING. AND THIS INCLUDES LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS, SECTION EIGHT FUNDING FUNDS FROM THE HOME PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, WHICH IS A BLOCK GRANT, PUBLIC HOUSING, AND SO ON. MOST OF THOSE WOULD BE FALLING WITHIN THIS AND IN OUR REGION. OF COURSE, THIS INCLUDES WILLIAMSON, TRAVIS, HAYS, BASTROP AND CALDWELL, WHICH AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IS A PRETTY LARGE GEOGRAPHIC AREA. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WHAT OMB FOLLOWS THIS SLIDE AGAIN, A LOT GOING ON HERE. I'LL FOCUS ON THAT. MAYBE BAND OFF THE TOP LOOKING AT THE MEDIAN INCOME, LOOKING AT HOW WE COMPARE TO THE HUD MSA. SO THESE ARE THE GUIDELINES PROVIDED BY THE HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. AND THEN WE HAVE LOCAL DATA FOR KYLE HAYS COUNTY AND AUSTIN. HE'S IN AUSTIN ARE JUST HONESTLY FOR LOOKING AT COMPARISON. BUT YOU'LL SEE VERY QUICKLY THAT ESSENTIALLY THE MEDIAN INCOME IN KYLE IS NEARLY $33,000 LESS THAN WHAT THE WHAT WOULD BE FOR THE REGION FOR THAT FIVE COUNTY MSA AS DEFINED BY HUD. AND SIMILARLY, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CALCULATIONS BEFORE BELOW THAT LOOKING AT AGAIN, THESE ARE HUD DEFINITIONS OF WHAT IS EXTREMELY LOW INCOME, WHICH IS BELOW 30% SLIGHTLY.

YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE NOTE AT THE BOTTOM. IT'S A LITTLE MORE CAVEATED RECENTLY, BUT IT'S AROUND 30%, 50%, WHICH IS VERY LOW INCOME. AND THEN 80% IS CONSIDERED LOW INCOME AND BELOW BY HUD STANDARDS. YES. I THINK JUST TO CLARIFY, THE 100,000 MEDIAN INCOME THAT'S FOR HOMEOWNERS. CORRECT. THIS WOULD BE FOR ALL FAMILY. SO ANY FAMILY HOUSEHOLD. THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY. THIS WOULD BE AMALGAMATED FOR BOTH OWNERS AND RENTERS, BUT FOR FAMILY ONLY IN GENERAL, RENTERS HAVE LOWER MFI OWNERS HAVE HIGHER MFI FAMILIES HAVE HIGHER MFI HOUSEHOLDS HAVE LOWER. MFI HOUSEHOLDS AS DEFINED BY CENSUS, ARE ESSENTIALLY UNRELATED PEOPLE OR SINGLE PEOPLE LIVING TOGETHER, BUT THE STANDARD IS MFI FOR FEDERAL. THAT'S WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME FOR ALL HOUSEHOLDS COMBINED.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. BECAUSE I THINK JUST SO THAT WAY IT'S CLEAR TO ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING OR WATCHING, I DON'T KNOW HOW FOR PEOPLE, BUT I THINK WE DID GET THE CURRENT ESTIMATE FOR MEDIAN RENTER INCOME BECAUSE I ASKED IS ACTUALLY $58,068. THAT IS CORRECT. COUNCIL MEMBER FOR RENTERS, IT'S 58,000. FOR OWNERS, IT'S HIGHER. AND AGAIN, EVEN IF YOU JUST LOOK AT HOUSEHOLDS SO UNRELATED, PEOPLE LIVING TOGETHER OR SINGLE PEOPLE, THIS NUMBER WOULD BE LOWER AS WELL. AND OUR REPORT WILL HAVE THAT LEVEL OF GRANULARITY TO BE ABLE TO COMPARE THAT. I THINK JUST THE MAIN THING I'LL FOCUS ON HERE IS LOOKING AT IT. YOU CAN SEE, LET'S LOOK AT THE BAND OF 60% AND 80%. SO IF YOU LOOK AT IT THE AGAIN, THINK OF IT THIS WAY THAT THAT HUD MSA COLUMN IS WHAT CALCULATIONS FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS IS BASED ON. THAT IS A FEDERAL REQUIREMENT. AND THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT. ESSENTIALLY, IF A FAMILY SHOWS UP, WANTS TO BE CERTIFIED FOR

[01:00:01]

AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT, THEY WILL BE ASSESSED AGAINST THOSE NUMBERS. BUT WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS IN THE CITY OF KYLE, THOSE ARE PRETTY DISTINCT. SO IN A HOUSEHOLD THAT IS AT 80%, MFI FOR THE CITY OF KYLE WOULD STILL BE ELIGIBLE SHORT OF A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS WITHIN THAT 60% INCOME LIMIT BAND WITHIN THE HUD MSA. AND THAT 60% IS GENERALLY WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PER FEDERAL GUIDELINES. FOR THE NEXT SLIDE.

AGAIN, THE RENT LIMITS COMPARISON SIMILAR TO THE MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME, THERE'S A RENT LIMITS THAT ARE PART OF THE HOME PROGRAM. AND THIS IS THE HOME PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, WHICH IS A BLOCK GRANT. FAIR MARKET RENTS, WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECTION EIGHT VOUCHER PROGRAM. SO HOW MUCH A HOUSEHOLD CAN GO UP TO BE ELIGIBLE TO UTILIZE A VOUCHER. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE MARKET RENTS BAND AT THE TOP. I REALLY WANT TO CAUTION JUST TWO THINGS THAT REALLY YOU'LL SEE THAT FOR THE EFFICIENCY IN THE ONE BEDROOM, THIS SAMPLE SIZE, BREAKING IT DOWN BY UNIT IS SMALL ENOUGH THAT IT'S A LITTLE MORE FUZZY THERE. FROM A DATA PERSPECTIVE, THE TWO BEDROOM IS A BETTER COMPARISON. WHAT YOU CAN REALLY SEE IS THAT THE FAIR MARKET RENT IS VERY MUCH ALIGNED WITH WHAT THE MARKET RENT CURRENTLY IN THE CITY OF KYLE IS. THAT'S 60% RENT LIMIT. THAT WOULD BE PER. AGAIN, THOSE FEDERAL GUIDELINES WOULD BE HIGHER THAN WHAT THE MARKET RENT CURRENTLY IS ESTIMATED FOR THE CITY OF KYLE ITSELF. SO AGAIN, JUST WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS, THAT MISMATCH BETWEEN WHAT THE FEDERAL REQUIREMENT IS LOCAL REQUIREMENT IS CONTINUES. AND I DO WANT TO JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQUE TO THE CITY OF KYLE. THIS IS SOMETHING FACEBOOK AND OUR REGION AND REGIONS THROUGHOUT THE NATION, AND FOLKS ARE REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A STANDARDIZED WAY OF, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT LEGIBILITY AND RENT LIMITS NATIONWIDE, BUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME, BE MORE RESPONSIVE TO WHAT THE LOCAL MARKET CONDITIONS ARE. BUT IT'S A CHALLENGE AND REMAINS. AND AGAIN, MOST OF THIS IS GUIDED THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AGAIN, I WON'T GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL OF THIS EXCEPT TO SAY IN THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'LL BE GOING OVER THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS THAT EXIST IN THE CITY OF KYLE. THEY COME FROM FOUR PROGRAMS PUBLIC HOUSING, WHICH IS WHAT THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES OR AGENCIES ARE CREATING. FAS, THE RURAL RENTAL HOUSING, WHICH IS SECTION 515 PROGRAM BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. IT'S PARTICULARLY FOR RURAL RENTAL HOUSING, THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT, WHICH IS, OF COURSE, A FEDERAL PROGRAM THAT IS ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE THROUGH THE QUALIFIED ALLOCATION PLAN. AND THEN SECTION EIGHT HOUSING, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, REALLY WHAT IS CALLED THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER HCV PROGRAM. AND IT'S BASED MORE ON THE MOBILITY OF TENANTS. JUST AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS, THE NUMBERS DON'T SHIFT FROM WHERE WE WERE. OVERALL, MORE THAN 1500 UNITS ARE AFFORDABLE IN THE CITY OF KYLE. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS, THE COUNCIL DISTRICT AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WENT INTO CREATING THEM. SO THE KIND OF PROGRAM TYPE OPAL POINT IS THE NEWEST ONE COMING IN WITH A KYLE HOUSING AUTHORITY PARTNERSHIP. AND I DO WANT TO ALSO MENTION ONE THING HERE, WHICH IS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE OF EXISTING UNITS. IF THERE'S OTHER CONVERSATIONS WHERE AN AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED, THEN THAT WOULD NOT BE CAPTURED IN THIS DATA. THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT HAS ENTERED INTO AN ACTUAL AGREEMENT AND WOULD BE CONSIDERED FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE. WITH THAT 315 FROM CITY POINT WITHIN THE PIPELINE AND THE OTHER ONES, WHICH INCLUDES THOSE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY, LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROJECTS AND OTHERS, THE WORTH JUST QUICKLY MENTIONING BOTH THE 9% AND 4% TAX CREDITS ARE ADMINISTERED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS. THE WAY THAT HAPPENS IS LARGER PROCESS, BUT IN GENERAL, THE 9% ARE THE MORE COMPETITIVE PROJECTS. THERE'S ONLY THREE WITHIN OUR REGION. I FORGET THE REGION NUMBER, BUT ESSENTIALLY CITY OF AUSTIN, GEORGETOWN, ALL THE WAY, ALL OF US FALL WITHIN THAT REGION WHERE YOU GET ALLOCATION FOR THREE PROJECTS PER YEAR BASED ON POPULATION GUIDELINES, AND THEN THE 4% IS THE NONCOMPETITIVE TAX CREDIT. IT GIVES LESSER SUBSIDY TO THE DEVELOPER. AND SO IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENTS, BUT THE MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE AND OTHER THINGS ARE STRONG ENOUGH WITH THAT AS WELL.

AGAIN, JUST TO GIVE YOU A GLANCE AT GEOGRAPHICALLY WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, MOST OF THIS HOUSING THAT IS AFFORDABLE IS ALONG THAT 35 CORRIDOR LINKED TO SORT OF MAJOR MOBILITY CHANNEL. THE LAST DATA SLIDES, AND I PROMISE I WILL MOVE INTO MY PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AFTER.

THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE CALL THE WHO NEEDS HOUSING THAT'S AFFORDABLE. THIS IS REALLY TO GIVE AN IDEA OF WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOLKS IN A CERTAIN INCOME BRACKET OR CERTAIN PERCENT MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME, WHICH IS REALLY NOT INTUITIVE AT ALL. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF AFFORDABILITY? SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT HOUSEHOLDS AND AGAIN,

[01:05:01]

I'LL FOCUS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS CHART WHERE THE EXTREMELY LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE 30% OF MFI OR LEARNING EARNING LESS THAN A LITTLE OVER $40,000, AND THEN VERY LOW INCOME, WHO ARE BELOW 60%, ESSENTIALLY BELOW $80,000. AND COLLECTIVELY, THERE'S ESSENTIALLY NEARLY 7500 HOUSEHOLDS IN THE CITY OF KYLE THAT FALL WITHIN THAT. ON THE EXTREME LEFT SIDE, REALLY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SENIORS, PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES LARGELY ON FIXED INCOME. THIS IS HOW TRADITIONALLY FOLKS WERE. BUT INCREASINGLY, AGAIN, THROUGHOUT OUR REGION, WE'RE SEEING CHILDCARE WORKERS, CAREGIVERS AND OTHERS FALL WITHIN THIS CATEGORY AS WELL.

JUST THE KEY PRELIMINARY FINDINGS. MOST OF THIS I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO YOU. I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, FROM A COST OF LIVING PERSPECTIVE, WHEN YOU REALLY LOOK AT IT IN ABSOLUTE TERMS, YES, THE RENT AND OWNERSHIP RATES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER COMPARED TO THE CENTRAL CITY. WITHIN THIS FIVE COUNTY REGION, IT IS LOWER FOR JOBS HOUSING BALANCE. AGAIN, 70 NEARLY 75% OF KYLE RESIDENTS WORK OUTSIDE THE CITY. THEY LIVE WITHIN THE CITY. COST BURDEN. I WON'T GO OVER IT BECAUSE I HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT FOR THE MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME IN RENTS. THIS, I THINK, JUST IS HIGHLIGHTS THAT THE LITTLE COMPLEXITY THAT WE HAVE AGAIN, NOT UNIQUE TO KYLE, BUT THROUGHOUT THE NATION. HOW DO WE GUIDE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, ELIGIBILITY AND RENTS? IT SORT OF VARIES BASED ON LOOKING AT THE HUD STANDARDS VERSUS LOCAL DATA. AFFORDABLE UNITS AGAIN MENTIONED NEARLY 8% OF ALL HOUSING UNITS IN THE CITY OF KYLE FALL WITHIN THIS CATEGORY. THOSE 1500 UNITS. AND OF COURSE, AS MENTIONED, 40% OF HOUSEHOLDS EARN LESS THAN 60% MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME. WHO WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT. AND THEN JUST HOUSING NEEDS A LOT OF CRITICAL WORKERS, AND FOLKS IN THE CITY OF KYLE WOULD FALL WITHIN THAT. JUST IN TERMS OF NEXT STEPS, WE'RE LOOKING AT INTERVIEWS AND GROUP PRESENTATIONS, WHICH OF COURSE WILL BE IN FRONT OF YOU ALL COMING BACK TO YOU ALL AS WELL, BUT ALSO CITY STAFF. WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE HOUSING AUTHORITY, VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HOMELESSNESS COALITION AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, PARTICULARLY. I WOULD, YOU KNOW, AS WE WRAP UP, IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY PARTICULAR STAKEHOLDERS THAT YOU THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY VALUABLE FOR US TO TALK TO, PLEASE LET US KNOW OR YOUR STAFF WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE FOLLOW UP WITH THEM. AND THEN WE WILL BE DOING THREE COMMUNITY MEETINGS IN THE SPRING AS WELL. TWO WOULD BE IN-PERSON OPEN MEETINGS AND THEN ONE VIRTUAL MEETING. I'LL END THERE AND JUST SAY, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR FEEDBACK.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I KNOW WE'VE KIND OF BEEN TALKING ALONG THE WAY. COUNCILMEMBER ZAPATA WELL I HAVE A LOT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEONE WHO HAS QUICK QUESTIONS. OKAY. SO I THINK JUST AS A PREFACE, LIKE I WAS AN ANTI-DISPLACEMENT PROJECT MANAGER. SO LIKE THAT'S ALL I DID WAS HELP DEVELOP AND BUILD AND IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS TO KEEP PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE WHERE IT IS THAT THEY LIVE.

SO THAT'S JUST THE LENS THAT I'M LOOKING AT THIS FROM. SO I THINK WITH THAT IN MIND, I THINK ONE THING THAT I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD DO OR BE INCLUDED IN THE ASSESSMENT IS A SORT OF LIKE VISUAL, EITHER LIKE HEAT MAP OR TABULAR BREAKDOWN OF WHERE SEVERE COST BURDEN IS GEOGRAPHICALLY LOCATED IN THE CITY. AND IF WE COULD DIVIDE THAT BY INCOME LEVEL TOO, BECAUSE I THINK ONE THING THAT I KNOW IS THAT IN THE COST BURDEN, THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY BROKEN DOWN BY INCOME LEVEL. SO I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT SEPARATELY. SO IF THAT'S POSSIBLE, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AND THEN I THINK THE OTHER PART OF IT IS I KNOW THAT A LOT OF THIS IS FOCUSED, AT LEAST SO FAR IT SEEMS, ON LIKE THE ASSESSMENT OF LIKE SUBSIDIZED HOUSING. AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION AROUND LIKE UNSUBSIDIZED, BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE ALSO CAPTURE OUR NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS WELL. AND THE DIFFERENT VULNERABLE HOUSING TYPES. SO IF POSSIBLE, I KNOW THAT I HAD ASKED IF WE COULD UPDATE THE ASSESSMENT TO INCLUDE AN INVENTORY OF RENTAL HOUSING BY AGE, LOCATION, UNIT TYPE AND TO IDENTIFY NOAA. BUT I THINK THAT'S OUT OF SCOPE. SO TO HELP BRING IT BACK INTO SCOPE, I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD JUST INCLUDE A NARRATIVE SECTION THAT IDENTIFIES, LIKE OUR MOST NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND JUST DESCRIBE WHY THESE TYPOLOGIES ARE VULNERABLE TO DISPLACEMENT PRESSURE. IF IF WE COULD HAVE THAT, THE SORRY, LIKE I SAID, I GOT A LOT. THE OTHER PART THAT

[01:10:07]

I WAS WONDERING IS I KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT THIS ASSESSMENT IS NOT DEVELOPING A DISPLACEMENT RISK MODEL, BUT I THINK IT COULD HELP LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO SO. SO I WAS WONDERING IF AS KIND OF A LONG SIDE OF THAT NARRATIVE WORK, IF WE COULD ALSO INCLUDE A SECTION THAT EXPLAINS THE MAJOR DISPLACEMENT INDICATORS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO KYLE IN SPECIFIC. AND AS WE DO THOSE QUALITATIVE INTERVIEWS, IF WE COULD APPLY THOSE INDICATORS TO THE QUALITATIVE INTERVIEWS THAT WE RECEIVE. AND LET'S SEE HERE, THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I ASKED WAS CAN WE OVERLAY MAJOR ROAD BOND CORRIDORS, INFRASTRUCTURE EXPANSIONS AND PLAN DEVELOPMENT WITH INCOME AND RENTER DATA TO ASSESS DISPLACEMENT PRESSURE? AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS THAT THE CITY CAN PROVIDE GIS OR MAPPING DATA FOR ROAD BOND PROJECTS, INFRASTRUCTURE EXPANSIONS AND MAJOR PLAN DEVELOPMENTS. SO IF WE COULD HAVE THAT SUPPLIED TO HOUSING WORKS SO THAT WE CAN JUST BETTER ASSESS DISPLACEMENT PRESSURE, AND THEN ALSO, IF POSSIBLE. GETTING SOME SORT OF HIGH LEVEL DISPLACEMENT PRESSURE LENS APPLIED TO LIKE HOW WE DEVELOP THIS FRAMEWORK, I THINK IS GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT. SORRY. LIKE I SAID, I HAD A LIST AND THEN I ASKED, DO WE HAVE MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY DATA SUCH AS LIKE LOT TRENDS OR OWNERSHIP CHANGES INCLUDED? I DON'T THINK THAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS. BUT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, JUST AS LIKE JUST THE BASELINE IS, CAN WE JUST TRY AND FIGURE OUT LIKE THE LIST OF OUR MANUFACTURED HOUSING AND LIKE APPROXIMATE LOT COUNTS, JUST SO THAT WAY WE CAN TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, BECAUSE I THINK MANUFACTURED HOUSING IS LIKE ALWAYS THE NUMBER ONE AT RISK FOR DISPLACEMENT. I KNOW THAT WE OR THAT I AM ASKING IF WE CAN OVERLAY THE LIKE, ROAD BOND PROJECTS, INFRASTRUCTURE EXPANSION PROJECTS. BUT AND THIS ONE I'M A LITTLE MORE UNCERTAIN IF IF WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT. BUT IF WE CAN INTEGRATE LIKE MOBILITY DATA, LIKE OUR SIDEWALK GAPS INCLUDED IN THAT AND DIFFERENT WALKABILITY MEASURES, LIGHTING CONCERNS INTO LIKE THE DIFFERENT ANALYSIS THAT WE'RE DOING. I THINK THAT THAT ONE I'M NOT SURE IF WE CAN DO, BUT IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. AND I THINK, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE HAVING A NARRATIVE SECTION THAT JUST TALKS ABOUT HOW WALKABILITY AND TRANSPORTATION BURDEN AFFECTS HOUSING AND AFFECTS DISPLACEMENT PRESSURES, I THINK IS GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT. AND I THINK THE OTHER PART IS.

IN THIS PART, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS HOUSING WORKS OR IF THIS IS CITY STUFF, BUT IF HOUSING WORKS AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES COULD WORK TOGETHER TO ADD A HIGH LEVEL QUALITATIVE DISCUSSION OF HOUSING IMPLICATIONS BY PROJECT HORIZON WITH OUR CIP PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING PLANNED OUT, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT SCOPE, BUT IF WE'RE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT PROJECT TIMELINES AND FIGURE OUT HOW THAT'S GOING TO, YOU KNOW, PROJECT INTO THE FUTURE, HOW THIS AFFECTS HOUSING, THEN I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO SO. LET'S SEE. AND THEN I THINK LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IF WE COULD OUTLINE CLEARLY WHICH DATA SETS THE CITY NEEDS TO COLLECT TO SUPPORT A FUTURE KYLE SPECIFIC AFFORDABILITY INDEX. JUST SO THAT WAY THAT'S THERE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO POTENTIALLY LOOK AT TO BUILD ONE LATER. BUT THAT'S ALL I GOT. I APPRECIATE THAT. COUNCIL MEMBER. ALL OF THESE ARE GREAT POINTS AND I WON'T RESPOND TO ALL OF THEM. I KNOW WE HAD SHARED SOME INFORMATION WITH YOUR STAFF AS WELL. IN GENERAL, I'LL JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'LL DEFER TO OUR CITY STAFF AND WORK WITH THEM TO SEE WHAT IS IT THAT WE CAN PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTARY DATA WHERE IT MAKES SENSE IF IT CAN BE FITTED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT, IF THE SCOPE NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. I REFER, OF COURSE, TO STAFF IN THE CITY. THE ONE THING I'LL MENTION FROM THIS IS FOR THE DISPLACEMENT RISK. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A COMPLEX INDICATOR, SO WE WOULDN'T WANT

[01:15:04]

TO SIMPLIFY IT. BUT PERHAPS WHAT I'M HEARING FROM YOU IS WE CAN HAVE MORE DATA AVAILABLE ON VULNERABILITY INDICATORS. SO THINGS SUCH AS HONESTLY FOLKS WHO SPEAK IN SECOND LANGUAGE THAT'S OFTEN USED, AND OF COURSE RACE AND ETHNICITY AND DIFFERENT LIKE EVICTION FILING DATA AS WELL, LIKE BEING INCORPORATED INTO THAT. SO YEAH, I THINK JUST THE VULNERABILITY INDICATORS BECAUSE I THINK THAT'LL HELP US AS COUNCIL INCORPORATE THAT FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE INTO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, OUR MOBILITY PLAN AND WHATNOT AS WE MOVE FORWARD. SO WE'LL DEFINITELY EXPLORE ALL OF THOSE POSSIBILITIES WITH THE CITY STAFF. AND WHAT WE CAN ALSO THINK ABOUT IS IF THERE'S WAYS FOR US TO SHARE DATA WITH YOUR STAFF IN A WAY THAT IT CAN BE MAPPED LATER. SO, YOU KNOW, WITH THE ONGOING AS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CIP OR INFRASTRUCTURE OR OTHER PROJECTS, WE CAN PROVIDE DATA IN A WAY THAT STAFF CAN UTILIZE IT LATER AS WELL. THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO. WE DON'T JUST WANT TO CREATE DATA AND WALK AWAY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S PACKAGED IN A WAY YOUR STAFF CAN UTILIZE.

OKAY, THAT WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER. MAYOR PRO TEM.

YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THIS UPDATE. THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY GOOD INFORMATION IN HERE. AND YOU KNOW, AS I LOOK AT THE TIMELINE, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE AROUND FIVE MONTHS UNTIL COMPLETION. AS OF RIGHT NOW, WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT GIVES US FIVE MONTHS POTENTIALLY TO BE MAKING DECISIONS ON HOUSING PROJECTS. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH WHEN THIS CAME FORWARD INITIALLY WAS TO GET A GOOD SENSE OF WHERE THE GAPS WERE IN OUR HOUSING INVENTORY. SO NOW THAT YOU HAVE HAD JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER, YOU'VE HAD AROUND SIX MONTHS TO TO KIND OF WORK THROUGH THIS. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE US AS WE, YOU KNOW, EMBARK IN THIS GROUP, EMBARKS ON THAT NEXT FOUR MONTHS OF POTENTIALLY HAVING TO MAKE DECISIONS AROUND HOUSING PROJECTS? GOSH, THAT'S A TOUGH QUESTION BECAUSE I WOULD BE A VERY POOR RESEARCHER IF I WENT AHEAD AND MADE MY CONCLUSIONS BEFORE MY RESEARCH.

BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I THINK PARTICULARLY FROM THE QUANTITATIVE DATA, I THINK THE MOST SPECIFIC THING IS, AS PROJECTS ARE COMING IN, IT REALLY SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT BE CRITICAL FOR THE CITY OF KYLE TO BE THINKING ABOUT HOW TO TARGET OR ASK FOR LOWER MFI LEVEL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS, BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE MORE ALIGNED WITH LOCAL REQUIREMENTS.

THAT'S ONE THAT I CAN THINK OF. THE OTHER ONE, I THINK IN TERMS OF LOCATION, THERE ACTUALLY SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY GOOD DISPERSION OF UNITS, WHICH IS VERY EXCITING, MAKING SURE THAT THAT SORT OF CONTINUES. AND THEN OF COURSE, LINKING IT WITH THOSE MOBILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS LIKE I35, BUT OTHERS AS WELL. AND THEN THE LAST ONE I'LL JUST SAY IS, I KNOW THIS IS VERY PRELIMINARY. AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A LITTLE MORE DEEP DIVE INTO THIS. I KNOW THAT THE CITY OF KYLE HAS LAUNCHED A HOUSING REPAIR PROGRAM, AND I THINK THERE'S SOME DEGREE OF SUCCESS WITHIN THAT BASED ON PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS. SO PROGRAMS LIKE THAT, HOW TO SORT OF SUPPORT RESIDENTS. AND OF COURSE, THERE'S REAL COST IMPLICATIONS FOR ALL OF THAT. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT WOULD BE MY HOPE THAT THERE CAN BE A MIX OF HAVING ACTUAL UNITS ON THE GROUND, BUT HAVING SOME PROGRAMMATIC ELEMENTS TO SUPPORT RESIDENTS AS WELL. OKAY, COUNCILOR HARRIS. ONE OF THE THINGS I'D LIKE FOR US TO ALSO BE ABLE TO CONSIDER IT AS WE GO FORWARD IS THE RENTAL VACANCY RATE, IF THAT IS POSSIBLE TO INCLUDE IN THE REPORT, THAT WOULD BE VERY, VERY HELPFUL. AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT REALLY CONCERNS ME IS DESIGNATING SENIOR HOUSING. IT ISN'T JUST LOW INCOME, BUT I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOME BREAKOUT ON WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR SENIOR HOUSING. YES, COUNCILMEMBER, DO BOTH THOSE THINGS FOR THE VACANCY RATE. WE CAN LOOK AT THAT. IT MIGHT BE DIVIDED UP BY CLASS OF PROPERTIES AND SORT OF MIGHT BE MORE EXPANSIVE. AND THEN CERTAINLY THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE ALREADY INCLUDING IN THE DATA FOR THOSE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS. AGAIN, THAT IS A VERY CONDENSED CHART, BUT IT WILL HAVE THE TYPE OF PROJECT IT IS. SO WE HAVE SENIOR MULTIFAMILY FOR FAMILY ORIENTED SENIOR OR SINGLE OCCUPANCY. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. I THINK ONE OF OUR HIGHEST RISK ARE OUR LOW INCOME SENIORS LIVING IN HOMES THAT ARE INADEQUATE AND NEEDING TO GO INTO AN APARTMENT OR A SENIOR LIVING COMPLEX. SO I'D APPRECIATE THAT. AND WE DO NOT.

I'M GOING TO TRY TO REMEMBER THIS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I WANT TO SAY 7.5%. NEARLY PERCENT OF KYLE RESIDENTS ARE ABOVE 65, AND CERTAINLY THE HOME REPAIR PROGRAMS AND OTHERS FIT WITHIN THAT. AND EVEN THOUGH WE'RE LAUNCHING THE QUALITATIVE PIECE NOW, WE DID DO A TOUCH BASE DURING CITYFEST. SO WE WERE THERE ASKING QUESTIONS IN SENIOR HOUSING ACTUALLY CAME UP AS A CONVERSATION. OKAY, ANYONE ELSE? COUNCILMEMBER MEDINA SO JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON ONE OF YOUR SLIDES. YOU DID GIVE AN INVENTORY OF INCOME RESTRICTED AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND IT LOOKS LIKE CURRENTLY A TOTAL EXISTING OF 197 ARE THOSE

[01:20:04]

AVAILABLE UNITS OR ARE PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN THE UNITS? PEOPLE WOULD BE LIVING WITHIN THOSE UNITS. THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME DEGREE OF NATURAL VACANCY, BUT LARGELY THOSE SHOULD BE OCCUPIED UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING UNUSUAL THAT I WOULD NOT KNOW OF AT THIS MOMENT. AND WE HAVE THAT NUMBER. BUT DO YOU HAVE LIKE A TOTAL NUMBER OF AVAILABLE HOMES ON THE MARKET IN GENERAL? SO COMPARED TO THAT NUMBER, THAT WASN'T NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT WAS IN THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT. BUT WE CAN AGAIN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH YOUR CITY STAFF. OKAY. AND THEN I KNOW YOUR NUMBERS RIGHT NOW ARE BASED ON 2023. DO YOU ANTICIPATE THERE'S MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE IN THE NUMBER BETWEEN 2023 AND NOW? GOSH, THAT'S A BETWEEN. SO THAT IS A TOUGH QUESTION FOR ME TO ANSWER. I WOULD SAY SADLY I'M GOING TO SAY PROBABLY YES. WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS THE MARKET. SO THE MARKET DATA IS ALL AS CURRENT AS POSSIBLE. THE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COMES FROM THE CENSUS BUREAU, WITH 2023 BEING THE LATEST NOW, RIGHTFULLY SO, SINCE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION IS A LITTLE MORE STABLE, NOT AS VOLATILE AS MARKET DATA. SO IT SHOULD REMAIN. BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE SEEN JUST THE CENTRAL TEXAS REGION IN THE NATION AS A WHOLE HAS SEEN SUCH A DIFFERENCE IN SHIFTING DEMOGRAPHICS AND HOUSING MARKET CONDITIONS IN THAT POST 2023 PERIOD COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC EFFECTS. SO THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, BUT LARGELY FOR THE MARKET DATA, WE'RE LOOKING AT CURRENT DATA BECAUSE WE WANT TO CAPTURE THAT. IT'S THAT DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION THAT THE CENSUS ONLY HAS AVAILABLE FROM 2023. AND WHERE DO YOU GET LIKE THE MEDIAN INCOME FROM FOR FAMILIES? THAT'S FROM THE CENSUS BUREAU. OKAY. IT'S FROM THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY ESSENTIALLY. OKAY. ANYONE ELSE? COUNCILMEMBER ZAPATA MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO ASK SOMEBODY, COUNCILMEMBER TIBBETTS OKAY. YEAH, I'LL JUST BE REAL QUICK. YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT WHEN IT COMES TO THE CENSUS, BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO CML A COUPLE YEARS AGO THAT THE COVID REALLY THREW OFF A LOT OF NUMBERS FOR A LOT OF CITIES EVERYWHERE. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, I, I LIKE WHEN YOU HAD YOUR, YOUR SLIDE THAT SAID, THE KEY FINDINGS WHERE YOU HAD THE COST OF LIVING AND THEN YOU ALSO HAD YOUR JOBS, HOUSING BALANCE, 4% OF WORKERS LIVING. KYLE, 22% LIVE OUTSIDE, AND 74% OF KYLE RESIDENTS WORK OUTSIDE THE CITY. AND THEN YOU GOT THE COST BURDEN ITSELF, WHERE THERE'S A LOT MORE RENTERS WITHIN THE CITY OF KYLE. BUT I THINK IN DUE TIME WHEN WE DO THE CENSUS AGAIN, AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS GETTING READY FOR THAT. WE MIGHT HAVE SOME BETTER NUMBERS AND THAT MIGHT ALSO HELP OUT WITH WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER ZAPATA WAS TALKING ABOUT. WHEN WE STARTED GETTING NUMBERS AS FAR AS THE EQUITY EQUALITY OF IT ALL, AS FAR AS THE DISPLACEMENTS AND SO FORTH. SO I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY, REALLY HELP IN THE LONG RUN ON THAT END. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER. I THINK THOSE ARE ALL REALLY IMPORTANT POINTS. COUNCILMEMBER ZAPATA, AS WE MOVE INTO THE QUALITATIVE PORTION OF THE ASSESSMENT, CAN WE DO BILINGUAL OUTREACH? I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE ENGAGE WITH THOSE WHO SPEAK SPANISH HERE AND KIND OF GET THEIR NARRATIVES WORKED IN TO TO HOUSING HERE. AND THEN IF WE COULD ALSO AND I'M NOT SURE HOW THE REST OF COUNCIL FEELS ABOUT THIS, BUT IT WAS JUST AN IDEA THAT I HAD AT 3 A.M. LAST NIGHT. SO BEAR THAT IN MIND. BUT ON THE MAP THAT WE HAVE, WHERE IT LISTS OUT, WHERE THE DIFFERENT INCOME RESTRICTED AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS LOCATED, LIKE IS THERE A WAY THAT, LIKE EACH ONE OF US COULD HOST SOMETHING THERE TO LIKE, GET SOME OF THAT QUALITATIVE FEEDBACK, LIKE, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK INTO PARTNERING WITH? HOUSING WORKS FOR, LIKE MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT AND ACTUALLY GETTING LIKE THEIR FEEDBACK I THINK WOULD BE GREAT. SO YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S ALSO LIKE A JUST IDEA THAT I HAD, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT LIKE THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO PURSUE. BUT JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE, JUST TO SEE HOW EVERYONE ELSE WOULD FEEL ABOUT THAT. ANY FEEDBACK ON THAT CUSTOMER? HARRIS I'VE GOT ANOTHER QUESTION. OH, I'LL SAY, COUNCILMEMBER, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE TALK ABOUT THAT AND DISCUSS THAT WITH YOUR STAFF. OKAY. AND I'LL SAY, I'M HONORED TO SAY THAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT THESE SLIDES SO LATE AT NIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOU DIGGING THROUGH THE DATA. NO, I LOVE THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WORK. I'M DOWN TO DO THAT THOUGH. IF IF I'M HERE. HAVING KNOWING THAT WE'VE GOT HOUSING IS DIFFERENT FROM IT ACTUALLY BEING AVAILABLE, CAN WE GET A FEEL FOR HOW MUCH? FOR INSTANCE, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY SECTION EIGHT AVAILABLE. ANY VOUCHERS FOR SECTION EIGHT AVAILABLE IN THE CITY OF KYLE?

[01:25:03]

I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A GOOD FEEL FOR THAT AS WELL. THAT'S HELPFUL. COUNCILMEMBER.

WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT. AND YOU'RE I DON'T KNOW, THE NUMBERS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

WE'LL BE WORKING WITH FOR TO GET SOME OF THAT INFORMATION AS WELL LIKELY. HONESTLY, WE KNOW THAT THE WAITLIST FOR ALMOST ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE REALLY LONG. CURRENTLY, THE MARKET SEEMS TO BE GOOD ENOUGH THAT SOME THERE'S A LITTLE MORE VACANCY THAN USUAL IN SOME OF THESE AFFORDABLE COMPLEXES THROUGHOUT THE REGION. BUT LARGELY, HONESTLY, IT'S A VERY TIGHT. USUALLY WE ONLY HAVE 1 TO 2% VACANCY IN MOST OF THESE PROJECTS, AND THERE'S SOME LIMITATION TO HOW MANY PROJECTS CAN BE FUNDED IN THE REGION, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. AS I SAID, THERE'S THREE WITHIN THE REGION AND IT'S VERY COMPETITIVE BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT SO MANY DIFFERENT CITIES AND JURISDICTIONS. OKAY, A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, I LOOKED AT ALL THE BUILDINGS THAT WERE OFFERED WERE QUOTE UNQUOTE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND THEY HAD THE LOWEST VACANCY RATES OF ANY MULTIFAMILY COMPLEX IN THE CITY. YEAH, THAT'S GENERALLY TRUE. I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS FROM THE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, GENERALLY SPEAKING, SORT OF THAT NOAA PROPERTIES ARE NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

CLASS B, CLASS C USUALLY HAVE A VACANCY RATE OF AROUND 3%. FOR THE CLASS A, IT'S USUALLY 5 TO 8%. AND THEN FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING GENERALLY HOVERS AROUND 1%. AND AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST REGIONAL NUMBERS, NOT SPECIFIC FOR THE CITY OF KYLE, RIGHT? ANYONE ELSE? JUST ONE LAST QUESTION AND YOU'LL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME. I'VE ONLY BEEN DOING THIS FOR LESS THAN A MONTH. UP HERE WAS WASN'T THE LAST CENSUS IN 2020 THOUGH, NOT 2023. THAT IS CORRECT. SO THE THE CENSUS IS DECENNIAL. IT HAPPENS EVERY DECADE. SO THE LAST ONE WAS 2020 DURING THE PANDEMIC. AND THEN EVERY YEAR THE CENSUS BUREAU DOES WHAT IS CALLED THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY. IT'S A SAMPLE SURVEY OF CERTAIN RESIDENTS. AND THAT'S WHERE THE DEEP DIG DOWN INFORMATION ON DEMOGRAPHICS, HOUSING NEEDS, ETC. IS ALL NOW NESTED. SO THAT'S THE DATA THAT WE USE. AND THE ONE YEAR, THREE YEAR, FIVE YEAR. AGAIN, THE SLIGHTLY WONKY BEAR WITH ME IS JUST THE NUMBER OF YEARS THAT ARE PART OF THE SAMPLE. SO IN GENERAL THE FIVE YEAR IS BETTER BECAUSE IT'S A LARGER SAMPLE. BUT TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER'S POINT, IN GENERAL, WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF THE COVID IMPACTS ON THE 2020 CENSUS, WHICH FORMS THE BASIS OF THAT SURVEY DATA, IT WAS A LITTLE SKEWED. WE'RE UNSURE OF HOW THAT IS. IT'S SOMETHING, AGAIN, THE ENTIRE NATION IS SORT OF STRUGGLING WITH. OF COURSE, THE CENSUS BUREAU PROVIDES DATA AND WE TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS. BUT THE CENSUS BUREAU ITSELF HAS BEEN CLEAR THAT IT'S A LITTLE MORE FUZZY. AND THAT'S WHY WHEN WE GO TO SMALLER GEOGRAPHIES OR SMALLER SAMPLE SIZES, THE DATA BECOMES MUCH, MUCH LESS RELIABLE. OKAY. GOT IT. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? YEAH. I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE THING IS, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK AROUND THE ROOM ANYWHERE. BUT I HEAR, YOU KNOW, SCOFFS AT THE TONE OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING AROUND DISPLACEMENT AND TRYING TO HELP PROTECT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE. AND THAT'S A WIDE CRITICISM THAT WE GET, IS THAT WE ARE SPENDING SO MUCH TIME PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE AND NOT NECESSARILY PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE. AND HERE WE HAVE A CONVERSATION AROUND HOW WE CAN HELP PEOPLE WHO CURRENTLY LIVE HERE, AND WE DON'T CHOOSE WHO THEY ARE. WE ARE HERE TO HELP EVERYBODY, AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, I CAN SAY CONFIDENTLY THAT THAT THIS GROUP IS HERE TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT HELP EVERYBODY, NOT JUST SOME PEOPLE. SO, YOU KNOW, NEXT TIME THERE WANTS TO BE CRITICISM OF US FOR NOT TRYING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND TRYING TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD TO BETTER PROTECT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE AT A AT A HIGH GROWTH PERIOD. I WANT TO REMEMBER THIS MOMENT. YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. YOU'VE DEVELOPED A HIGH. ACUMEN ON AFFORDABILITY IN THE REGION. YOU'VE YOU'RE A PART OF. HEY, FOLKS, CAN WE CAN WE PLEASE.

WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A MEETING HERE. SIR. SIR, WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A MEETING. THANK YOU. I WANTED TO ASK YOUR OPINION ON OUR AFFORDABILITY SITUATION IN THE CITY OF KYLE. I KNOW YOU'VE YOU HAVE. YOU'VE PAID ATTENTION. YOU HAVE PAID ATTENTION THROUGHOUT THE REGION AND ALL THE DIFFERENT SUBURBAN, SIR. YOU HAVE YOU'VE PAID ATTENTION THROUGHOUT THE REGION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AS IT RELATES TO AFFORDABILITY. IN EVERY CITY IN THE SUBURBAN AREA HAS THEIR OWN ISSUES. HOW DO YOU SEE THE CITY OF KYLE AS IT RELATES TO AFFORDABILITY WITHIN THE REGION? LIKE I'M ASKING FOR YOUR PERSONAL TAKE ON IT, LIKE FROM YOUR KNOWLEDGE. AND THEN ALSO,

[01:30:02]

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR US AS WE KEEP GOING THROUGH THIS, LIKE HOW WE COULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE JUST FROM YOUR BACKGROUND? THANK YOU, MAYOR, FOR THOSE COMMENTS. AND I'LL START BY SAYING IT'S KYLE SORT OF IS VERY MUCH WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THE MEDIAN OR AVERAGE.

IT'S SORT OF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK. LIKE THE REGION, AFFORDABILITY HAS BECOME AN INCREASING CHALLENGE AND I SHOULDN'T SAY LIKE THE REGION. IT IS TRULY THROUGHOUT THE NATION. WE HAVE SEEN AFFORDABILITY ISSUES RISE AND SO IT IS VERY MUCH WITHIN THAT.

HOUSING COSTS ARE MAPPING WITH THAT SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER, OF COURSE, COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES IN OUR REGION. BUT STILL THERE IS SOME COST BURDEN WE'RE SEEING THAT FOCUS ON, PARTICULARLY AMONG RENTERS, WHERE THERE IS MORE OF A NEED AND MORE OF A PINCH. AND I'LL JUST BE VERY HONEST, SOME OF THAT IS, OF COURSE, ASSOCIATED WITH HOUSING COSTS, WHICH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE, SEPARATE FROM THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION IS JUST WAGE GROWTH AND INCOME GROWTH. AND PART OF IT IS THAT CHALLENGE HAS BEEN EXACERBATED, FRANKLY, SINCE THE 2008 RECESSION, AGAIN NATIONWIDE, BUT IN OUR REGION AS WELL. SO THAT'S ADDED TO THE CHALLENGE.

THE OTHER THING I'LL JUST SAY IS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IS, UNLIKE SOME OTHER CITIES WITHIN THE REGION, KYLE IS MORE OF A, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, MORE OF A COMPLETE CITY. IT HAS FULL COMMERCIAL CENTERS. THERE'S A VITALITY. IT'S MORE OF A HISTORIC CITY. IT'S NOT JUST WHAT WOULD BE CALLED A BEDROOM COMMUNITY, WHICH IS REALLY JUST A PLACE FOR FOLKS TO HAVE HOUSING AND HOUSING ONLY LARGELY IN A SUBURBAN TRACT STYLE. IT'S MUCH MORE MIX OF POPULATION, WHICH ADDS A DEGREE OF COMPLEXITY, DIVERSITY AND BEAUTY IN THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU HAVE HERE. BUT IT ALSO, OF COURSE, EXACERBATES SOME OF THOSE CHALLENGES THAT EXIST WITH THE HOUSING AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A MORE DIVERSE GROUP OF FOLKS WHO ARE TRYING TO SERVE. AND THEN FROM AN ADVICE PERSPECTIVE, I'LL JUST SAY IT REALLY HAS BEEN EXCITING TO SEE THE WORK THAT YOU ALL ARE DOING IN PARTNERING WITH THE HOUSING AUTHORITY, LOOKING AT THE HOME REPAIR, HONESTLY, I THINK UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE COUNCIL AND OF COURSE THE STAFF, I THINK YOU'VE ALL MADE GREAT STRIDES AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN CONTINUE MAKING THAT. BUT PART OF THESE CHALLENGES REALLY ARE THAT WE'RE FACING ARE NOT ONLY JUST LOCAL, THEY TRULY ARE AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL. AND THAT'S JUST A CHALLENGE THAT I THINK, AGAIN, COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE NATION ARE STRUGGLING WITH. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU THINK THAT WE'RE MISSING IN TERMS OF HOW WE'RE APPROACHING THIS NEXT SEASON, WHERE WE'RE IT'S CLEAR, YOU KNOW, WITH MAYOR PRO TEM ITEM THAT HE HELPED KICK THIS OFF. BUT AS WELL AS JUST THE COUNCIL IN GENERAL, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO SEE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE HERE.

AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL. BUT DO YOU THINK THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE COULD BE DOING IN THE COMING MONTHS THAT WE'RE NOT CURRENTLY DOING TO HELP SET US ON A BETTER PATH FOR AFFORDABILITY? ONE THING, AND I DON'T WANT TO PROMISE BIG HERE ON THE RECORD, BUT I'LL JUST SAY HEARING WHAT THE MAYOR PRO TEM WAS SAYING, WE MIGHT WORK WITH STAFF TO HAVE SOME VERY PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH ARE AGAIN, INTERNAL, LOOKING AT IF THOSE ARE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE GUIDED AS THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED. THE IDEA HONESTLY, WOULD BE THAT HOPEFULLY, REALLY IT'S ABOUT MATCHING THOSE MFI LEVELS, LOOKING AT WHERE THE REAL NEED IS. AND THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO START HAVING A HOUSING ASSESSMENT TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE NEED IS AND MATCHING IT.

YOU'RE ALL ARE, YOU ALL ARE ALREADY ON THAT PATHWAY. MAYBE WE CAN TRY TO SPEED THAT UP SO THAT THERE'S SOME INTERIM GUIDANCE. AND THEN THE LAST THING I'LL JUST ADD TO THAT ELEMENT IS ALSO JUST SAYING THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE SEEING AGAIN, ACROSS THE REGION IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE LOOKING AT HOUSING COSTS. WE DON'T PARTICULARLY HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DATA. WE CAN PULL IT FROM SOME OTHER SOURCES. BUT INCREASINGLY WE'RE TRYING TO SEE HOW DO WE MATCH TRANSPORTATION COSTS WITH HOUSING COSTS AS WELL. BECAUSE IF FOLKS ARE, YOU KNOW, WORKING OUTSIDE THE CITY, THEN THEIR TRANSPORTATION COSTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. SO BRINGING THAT JOBS, HOUSING BALANCE IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT HAS TO BE MANAGED AS WELL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I GOT ONE MORE FOR YOU. AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND WITH OUR HOUSING AUTHORITY, WITH A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT HAVE BEEN COMING IN TO TAKE PROPERTIES OFF THE TAX ROLLS, REALLY SORT OF OUTSIDE THE CITY'S CONTROL, OUTSIDE EVEN OF OUR HOUSING AUTHORITY'S CONTROL. THE, THE, THE 80%. AUSTIN AMI FIGURE THAT BASICALLY IS AT 100% OF KYLE'S INCOME IS IS IS KIND OF A THREAT TO AFFORDABILITY BECAUSE WHAT IT ALLOWS FOR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPERS TO DO IS TO TAKE PROPERTIES OFF TAX ROLLS, CHARGE MARKET RENT AND NOT AND NOT AND NOT HAVE TO PAY TAXES. AND ESSENTIALLY THEY POCKET THE MONEY. IT DOESN'T GO DIRECTLY TO REDUCING RENTS FOR ANYONE. DO YOU THINK THAT THERE IS A CHANCE IN THE COMING MONTHS, HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THIS NEXT YEAR OR SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET THE HUD TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE WAY THEY CALCULATE THEIR 80% AMI FIGURES FOR A LARGER REGION AND ALLOW FOR IT TO BE CITY BY CITY, BECAUSE KYLE IS NOT CEDAR PARK, KYLE IS NOT GEORGETOWN. I WOULD LOVE TO SAY YES. OH, LIKELY NO BECAUSE. BUT TO BE FAIR, THIS IS TRULY AN ONGOING CONVERSATION THROUGHOUT THE NATION. RESEARCHERS, ADVOCATES AROUND THE NATION ARE BEGINNING TO NOTICE ONE OF THE THINGS IT'S HARD BECAUSE OF JUST THE SIZE OF THE GEOGRAPHY AND THE DATA AVAILABILITY, BUT THERE'S ALSO JUST DIFFERENTIALS WITHIN COMMUNITIES AS WELL. RIGHT? SO

[01:35:03]

MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME IN ONE PART OF THE CITY IS DIFFERENT FROM ANOTHER. EVEN WITHIN THE CITY IT BECOMES VERY COMPLICATED VERY QUICKLY. I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, OF COURSE, I UNDERSTAND IS SETTING STANDARDS FOR THE ENTIRE NATION. THAT'S CHALLENGING. I UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT I WOULD SAY, I THINK, TO THAT IS REALLY THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE LEADERSHIP HERE IS REALLY THINKING ABOUT HOW TO GET THE MOST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK IN TERMS OF WHERE THERE IS A TAX ABATEMENT OR ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT MIGHT REQUIRE SUBSIDY OR TAX PROGRAM, THAT YOU ARE TRULY GETTING AFFORDABLE UNITS THAT SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. AND I THINK HOPEFULLY THIS DATA CAN HELP GUIDE THAT, BECAUSE I DO AGREE.

I THINK THAT IS A GREAT THING TO FOCUS ON, TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU ARE GETTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, IT REALLY SERVES THOSE IN NEED, PARTICULARLY IF IT HAS SOME KIND OF SUBSIDY OR TAX ABATEMENT OR OTHER RESOURCE ALLOCATED TO IT. OKAY. IF WE WERE TO WANT TO LOBBY SOMEONE TO, I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING TO TO TRY TO WORK ON, ON OUR BEHALF TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. WHERE WOULD WE START? THE LOW INCOME HOUSING, THE LOW INCOME HOUSING, THE NATIONAL LOW INCOME HOUSING COALITION. AND LIKE IT'S BASED OUT OF DC, THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON NEEDS FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING FOR YEARS. THIS HAS BEEN A BIG QUESTION FOR THEM THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PURSUING. I KNOW THEY GET FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE NATION, AND CERTAINLY I THINK THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HEARING MORE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S ON THE GROUND HERE THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND THEY'RE WORKING WITH CONGRESS TO ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH. I MEAN, THE PROBLEM IS, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEAL IN KYLE, HOW DO YOU DO IT? BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS TAX SUBSIDIZED HOUSING, ALL OF THE DEVELOPERS, EVERY MULTIFAMILY PROJECT THAT'S COME BEFORE ME IN THE LAST MULTIPLE YEARS, THEY WANT TO TAKE THE PROPERTY OFF THE TAX ROLLS AND NOT JUST CITY TAX ROLLS. BY THE WAY, THAT'S NO TAXES. AND THEN WHEN YOU GO AND ACTUALLY ANALYZE THE RATES THAT THEY CHARGE TO FOLKS, IT'S THE SAME AS THE NEIGHBOR ONE. JUST POCKETS ALL THE DIFFERENCE. OR MAYBE MAKES A 5% REDUCTION WHILE THEY'RE KEEPING THE 20% SAVINGS, WHICH IS JUST BRUTAL ON A YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T SURVIVE AS A COMMUNITY THAT WAY.

SO I'M WONDERING, LIKE IN THIS STUDY, CAN THERE BE AN ELEMENT OF IT THAT IS SOME KIND OF LIKE METHODOLOGY FOR HOW WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT IF WE'RE LIKE A, LIKE A POLICY LIKE THIS IS IF YOU'RE WANTING TO HAVE AFFORDABILITY AS A COMPONENT OF YOUR PROJECT, WHAT POLICY CAN WE PUT IN PLACE THAT SHOWS YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO AND THAT THAT WE THEN, AS A COUNCIL AND AS A CITY, HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THE DOLLARS THAT WE'RE CREDITING TO THE DEVELOPER WILL BE PASSED THROUGH TO THE END USER. IS THERE SOME PART OF THIS STUDY THAT WOULD TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, I SUPPOSE IS JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. ROSIE, COUNCIL MEMBER I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE DIRECTORS THAT I PROVIDED. SO LIKE BUILDING OUT A KYLE SPECIFIC ARMY, OR AT LEAST PUTTING TOGETHER AND PULLING WHICH DATA WOULD HELP CREATE. THAT IS WHAT ALLOWS US TO THEN DEVELOP THAT POLICY. SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THIS STUDY WILL GIVE US NUMBERS THAT WE COULD THEN POINT TO AS WE APPROACH AFFORDABLE? YES. YEAH. LIKE BUILDING THE FOUNDATION LIKE QUITE LITERALLY JUST TELLING US, HEY, THIS IS THE NUMBERS. AND THEN YOU MAKE THE DECISIONS FROM THEN ON OUT ON HOW TO BUILD THESE THINGS, TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING TO BE BEST WORKING FOR KYLE, BECAUSE I THINK PUSHING HUD TO DO SOMETHING IS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. WE AIN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT BOULDER UP THE HILL. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. BUT BY BY WORKING IN I THINK A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT LIKE GRANULAR LEVEL, LIKE DATA SETS THAT I AM ASKING FOR. I THINK THAT THEN ALLOWS US AS COUNCIL THEN TO USE THAT INFORMATION TO THEN BUILD UPON AND JUST REALLY USING THIS AS A FOUNDATION, REALLY, SO THAT THAT I MEAN, THAT QUESTION, THAT ISSUE THAT YOU, YOU BROUGHT UP MAYOR IS REALLY WHY WE STARTED DOWN THIS PATH IN THE FIRST PLACE, BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE GETTING ALL OF THESE ASKS FOR FOLKS TO, TO BUILD INCOME, INCOME RESTRICTED HOUSING BASED ON AUSTIN, HUD, MFI LEVELS THAT REALLY AREN'T MEANINGFUL IN KYLE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE STUDY OR THE METRICS TO BACK UP. WHEN WE PUSH BACK, WE CAN ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, FOR FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS, THEY'RE COMING TO US FOR RESOLUTIONS, RESOLUTIONS OF NO OBJECTION. WE CAN ALWAYS ASK FOR THINGS AS WE HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM, AND LOOK TO SEEK DEEPER LEVELS OF AFFORDABILITY. BUT THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY'RE BRINGING ARE THAT THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ARE THE FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS. AND SO IF THEY'RE GOING TO COME INTO DEEPER LEVELS OF AFFORDABILITY FOR US, THEN WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE MAKE THAT THAT BALANCE FOR THE, THE, THE PROJECT TO STILL MAKE AND TO PENCIL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TO CONTINUE. SO IT'S A BALANCE THAT WE HAVE TO IT'S A BALANCE THAT HAS TO HAPPEN. BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET INTO THESE, THESE, THESE TRUE 4% AND 9% LETECH IN ITS DEEP LEVELS OF AFFORDABILITY, THE MARGINS ARE NOT THAT BIG. SO IT'S IT'S ALL STUFF THAT WE

[01:40:05]

THAT WE WILL NEED TO LOOK AT. AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE DATA HERE WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE HOUSING ASSESSMENT, THAT WILL LEAD US INTO PRESENTING SOME STRATEGIES TO COUNCIL THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT, THAT WILL GUIDE THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ELEMENTS THAT WE BRING TO THE COUNCIL. SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE'RE APPROACHING THAT WE BRING THIS BACK TO YOU. HOUSING WORKS IS GOING TO PROVIDE THE STUDY. IT DOES. SO I'M GLAD. I'M REALLY GLAD TO HEAR THAT. THE OTHER ELEMENT I WANTED TO MENTION IS WHEN WE HAVE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS THAT ARE BEING CONSIDERED WITH DEALS THAT ARE COMING FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL, LIKE CITY POINT THAT WAS REFERENCED, WE ACTUALLY PUT IN THE STANDARDS AND THE METRICS INTO THAT AGREEMENT OF WHAT WHAT IS AFFORDABLE, RATHER THAN JUST HAVING A HUD STANDARD THAT'S OUT THERE. SO WE ACTUALLY NEGOTIATED FOR THE AFFORDABLE UNITS THAT WERE KIND OF TYING TO THESE NUMBERS THAT YOU SAID. SO AS THOSE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS COME FORWARD, WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO CHANGE AND PUT THOSE METRICS IN, AND WE'LL HAVE MORE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE THAT WHEN IT'S PART OF A LARGER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, LESS SO WHEN IT'S JUST A STANDALONE, LIKE WHEN THEY'RE JUST COMING TO US FOR JUST A RESOLUTION OF NO OBJECTION FOR A SINGLE, THAT'S WHEN THE MARGINS ARE. IT'S IT'S IT GETS INTERESTING ON THOSE. AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT ONLY LOOKING AT THIS IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT AND UTILIZING THIS FOR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT. LIKE I, I THINK THAT THAT'S A PART OF IT, BUT JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST LOOKING AT IT SIMPLY THROUGH THAT LENS, BUT ALSO ABOUT PRESERVATION OF LIKE WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AS WELL FOR OUR INDIVIDUALS. THAT'D BE GREAT. ABSOLUTELY. THAT'LL BE PART OF THE THE STRATEGY THAT WILL COME FORWARD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. GOOD DISCUSSION. ANYONE ELSE? I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING THIS INFORMATION TO US. YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF YOU ALL KNOW THAT I'VE KIND OF REALLY PUT MY HEART INTO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY. AND SO I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THIS DATA ALREADY, SO I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT.

ROSIE'S ALREADY BEEN WORN OUT WITH QUESTIONS OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS ABOUT IT. SO, YOU KNOW, THANK THANK YOU. IT REALLY DOES HELP US HAVING THIS. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER.

THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. IF THERE IS NO ONE ELSE, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON. THANK

[VI) Consent Agenda]

YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS THE CONSENT AGENDA. SO I HAVE FROM WHAT I REMEMBER IS ITEM FIVE PULLED BY MEDINA AND 11 AND 12 BY HARRIS. IS THAT RIGHT BY BOTH OF YOU TWO. IT IS FIVE FOR YOU. 16, NOT 12. NO. SO FIVE, 11 AND 16 ARE BEING PULLED. YES. ANY ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY ITEMS TO PULL? MOTIONS. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS SIX THROUGH TEN. SECOND. GO AHEAD, KEEP GOING. 12 THROUGH 15 AND 17 THROUGH 19.

YES, I'LL SECOND THAT. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM, SECONDED BY COUNCILOR HARRIS THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. ITEMS SIX THROUGH TEN, 12 THROUGH 15 AND 17 THROUGH 19.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT.

[5) Consider approval of a contract with Judge Andrew Cable for services as the City Municipal Court Judge through December 31, 2027.]

MOTION. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. OUR NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM FIVE. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT WITH JUDGE ANDREW CABLE FOR SERVICES AS THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST, 2027. THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY MR. CRUMLEY BUT IS PULLED BY MISS MEDINA. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YOU WANT HIM TO GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION? I DON'T NEED THE PRESENTATION. I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS I RECEIVED PERSONALLY PRIOR TO COMING HERE TONIGHT REGARDING THE CONTRACT ITSELF NOT HAVING A DOLLAR AMOUNT, BUT I DID SEE IN THE STAFF MEMO THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT INCREASING HIM FROM THREE $3,110 A MONTH TO $3,300.36 A MONTH FOR 2026. AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CORRECT INFORMATION SO WE COULD SHARE THAT WITH THE RESIDENTS THAT WERE LISTENING SINCE IT WASN'T ON THE CONTRACT, BUT IN THE STAFF MEMO, THEY MAY HAVE MISSED, YOU KNOW, THE CONTRACT WASN'T FINALIZED UNTIL RECENTLY.

SO WE DID ATTACH THE THE FINAL CONTRACT ONCE WE GOT IT SIGNED. I HAVE THAT AVAILABLE AND I CAN MAKE THAT AVAILABLE TO YOU ALL. BUT WE DID INCLUDE THE EXACT DOLLAR AMOUNT IN THE AGENDA MEMO. OKAY. SO THAT IS THE CORRECT AMOUNT OKAY. AND THEN WERE WE WORKING ON THE COST OF LIVING YEARLY POSSIBLE INCREASE AS WELL IN THE UPDATED CONTRACT? YES. THE LANGUAGE WILL WILL READ THE 2% OKAY. CONSISTENT WITH A COLA. THAT'S ALL I HAD JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS SOME THAT DIDN'T HAVE THAT UPDATED INFORMATION. SURE. MOTION I MAKE A MOTION TO PASS ITEM CONSENT. ITEM NUMBER FIVE. SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER MEDINA. SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER MCKINNEY THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE. IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE JUDGE CABLE. YEAH, WELL, MUNICIPAL COURT CONTINUES

[01:45:01]

TO BE ONE OF THE HIGHEST RATED AND REVIEWED PROGRAMS. IT'S CRAZY, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

AND IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH CABLE. I INTERACTED WITH HIM ONCE BACK IN 2014, AND HE WAS PRETTY STELLAR BACK THEN. SO. ALL RIGHT, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11.

[11) Consider approval of Task Order No. 9 with BGE Inc., for the design of the Kyle Community Center driveway in the amount of $103,213.75.]

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A TASK ORDER NUMBER NINE WITH PGE FOR THE DESIGN OF THE KYLE COMMUNITY CENTER DRIVEWAY AND THE AMOUNT OF $103,213.75. THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY MISS LIU AND IS BEING PULLED BY COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS. HARRIS, YOU WANTED TO GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. YOU JUST HAVE A QUESTION. WOULD YOU GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION QUICKLY SO THAT WE CAN SEE THE DESIGN? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO WE SO CITY OF KYLE CONSTRUCTING THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER DEDICATED FOR SENIOR USES AT 1500 DACY LANE. THE CURRENT DRIVEWAY SITUATION ONTO THAT FACILITY, THERE'S ONLY ONE DRIVEWAY THAT OFF OF DACY LANE THAT HAS LIMITED SIGHT DISTANCE AND IS CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS. SO WHEN THE NORTHBOUND VEHICLES WHEN THEY'RE TRAVELING THIS WAY, IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO SEE ANY VEHICLES EXITING THAT DRIVEWAY.

UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE A GOOGLE IMAGERY ATTACHED TO THIS, BUT I THINK WE SHARED THOSE IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATIONS. ALSO, ONGOING SPEEDING CONCERNS ON THE DACY LANE IS MAKING THIS ISSUE EVEN WORSE, AND CURRENTLY THERE'S NO OTHER DRIVEWAY OPTIONS FOR THIS FACILITY.

THEREFORE, WE WE CONTRACT WITH THE BIJ. TO LOOK AT ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAY DESIGN. SO THIS WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL I BELIEVE IN JUNE. THIS IS THIS IS FROM THE STAFF WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY AS AN INTERIM SOLUTION. CHANGING THAT EXISTING DRIVEWAY IS A RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT TO RESTRICT THE FULL ACCESS AND MAKE IT SLIGHTLY SAFER. AND ALSO HAVING ANOTHER DRIVEWAY ONTO DAISY LOOP, WHERE THAT RED DRIVEWAY IS TO ALLOW A DIFFERENT ACCESS, DIFFERENT FULL ACCESS TO THIS FACILITY. AND THEN THEY WILL PROVIDE ENGINEERING AND BID PHASE SERVICES. SO I DO WANT TO KIND OF BRIEFLY TALK THROUGH THIS. SO THEY WILL PROVIDE US INTERIM OPTIONS. AND FOR THE DRIVEWAY, THEY WILL ALSO PROVIDE US UP TO THREE CONFIGURATIONS FOR US TO CHOOSE FROM. THIS IS SCHEMATIC PHASE. THIS SCOPE ALSO INCLUDE NECESSARY SURVEYS, PRELIMINARY UTILITY COORDINATION IN THE AREA, DRAINAGE CONSIDERATION. SO IF I'M GOING BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE WHERE THE PROPOSED THE RED ONE WHERE THE PROPOSED DRIVEWAY IS, IT'S A PRETTY STEEP SLOPE GOING FROM THE FACILITY ONTO DAISY LOOP. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT TO NOT CREATE A STEEP, STEEP DROP FOR THAT DRIVEWAY, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER SAFETY CONCERN. SO THERE WILL BE CONSIDERATIONS OF POTENTIALLY RECONFIGURING THAT PARKING LOT TO MAKE THIS ALL WORK. AND THEN IT ALSO INCLUDES DRAINAGE CONCERN FOR THAT AREA, SIGNAGE, PAVEMENT MARKINGS, AND THEN BIT BID BID PHASE SERVICES, AS WELL AS COST ESTIMATIONS FOR 60%, 90% AND FINAL. SO THE DESIGN TIMELINE RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT SCHEMATIC EXHIBITS. THOSE ARE THE THREE OPTIONS THAT WILL PROVIDE US WITH THE CONFIGURATION. THAT'S MARCH 20TH 26. 90% DESIGN IS IN JUNE 2026. AND LOOKING AT FINAL DESIGN TO BE FINISHED JULY 2026. AND THEN THE OPTIONS TO APPROVE THE TASK ORDER WITH BGE FOR THIS WORK IN THE AMOUNT OF $103,213.75, AND OPTION TWO IS DO NOT APPROVE AND STAFF RECOMMEND APPROVE THE TASK ORDER. SO THIS INCLUDES THIS PARTICULAR TASK ORDER INCLUDES ALL OF THE ACCESS TO THE DAISY LOOP AND TO DAISY. YES. WHAT IS THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION ON DAISY? SO THE SPECIFIC BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE EXIT AND ENTRANCE WILL BE ON DAISY LANE ON DAISY LANE UNTIL THE DAISY LOOP IS FINISHED, WHICH WILL BE ANOTHER YEAR. YEAH. SO THE INTERIM SOLUTION RIGHT NOW STAFF IS RECOMMENDING RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT. BG WILL LOOK AT ADDITIONAL IF THERE'S ANY NEEDS FOR STRIPING OR SIGNAGE. THEY WILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION. MY CONCERN IS THAT RIGHT IN AND RIGHT OUT, WHEN YOU'RE EXITING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE EXITING AND HAVING

[01:50:06]

TO TURN RIGHT FROM THE DRIVEWAY, THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY, THERE'S NO PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO TURN AROUND. WHERE DO YOU GO? YOU'VE GOT TO GO. GOT TO GO, RIGHT. AT WHAT POINT DO DOES SOMEBODY THAT HAS TO TURN LEFT AT OUT OF THAT DRIVEWAY GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN AROUND AND GO THE DIRECTION THEY NEED TO GO? SO I DO THINK THE SOLUTION FOR THAT SITUATION CURRENTLY, YOU COULD TURN RIGHT ONTO DAISY LOOP AND COME OUT ON THE PICTURE END OF DAISY LOOP AS A FULL ACCESS CONFIGURATION FOR THE SENIORS TO DO. I'M WONDERING IF WE COULDN'T DO SOMETHING TEMPORARY AT THE DAISY. THE CURRENT ENTRANCE AND EXIT POINT, RATHER THAN RIGHT IN AND RIGHT OUT, SUCH AS A THREE WAY STOP. WE'VE ALREADY GOT A PROBLEM WITH THE TRAFFIC SPEEDING. THAT WOULD CERTAINLY SLOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN AND WOULD CERTAINLY ENHANCE THE SAFETY LEAVING THAT DRIVEWAY. YEAH, WE'RE HAPPY TO BRING IT BACK. ONCE WE RECEIVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, WE CAN DIRECT BG TO LOOK AT SOME ADDITIONAL OPTIONS TO GIVE US THAT WE CAN CHOOSE FROM. THAT WOULD BE GOOD. I REALLY DON'T THINK THE RIGHT RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT AT THAT AS IT IS, IS A GOOD SOLUTION FOR THE TEMPORARY. UNDERSTOOD. ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT? I AGREE, I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU'D HAVE TO BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT SPECIFIC AREA TO KNOW THAT YOU COULD TAKE A RIGHT AND THEN THE NEXT RIGHT, AND THEN LOOP BACK AROUND IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT AND TURN LEFT. AND OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, YOU YOU FOLLOW DAISY ALL THE WAY INTO BUDA BEFORE YOU CAN GET TO A POINT WHERE YOU AND YOU STILL HAVE ISSUES TURNING LEFT ON DAISY LANE BECAUSE OF THE SPEED OF THE TRAFFIC. OH, DAISY IS ONE OF OUR MOST DANGEROUS ROADS IN ALL OF KYLE. IT'S. I'D RATHER NOT ADD TO THAT PROBLEM. I AGREE WITH YOU 100 100%. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? IF I COULD JUST ADD RIGHT THERE ON THAT CORNER THERE. WHAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WHEN YOU EXIT OUT OF THAT FACILITY, IT'S AT AN ANGLE ON THE HILL. SO AND THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THE SPEED COMES IN WHEN PEOPLE ARE ACCELERATING UP THE HILL IS THAT'S WHERE THE PEOPLE WOULD BE COMING OUT OF, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT ARE GOING UP THE HILL TO COME DOWN ON DAISY. SO LIKE RIGHT AT THAT CURVE, RIGHT AT THE ENTRANCE OUT, IT ACTUALLY IS, IS MORE OF A TURN, NOT A STRAIGHT. SO THAT WOULD BE A CHALLENGE I DID I DROVE BY THERE AGAIN THE OTHER DAY AND I'M, I'M THINKING, YOU KNOW, JUST, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS. IF THERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO WHERE WE CAN GO FROM BEHIND THE BUILDING, WE CAN USE THAT ACCESS ROAD TO THE TO THE LUNG DOCTOR'S FACILITY, TO WHERE WE ADD ON TO THAT, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S WHERE I GO TO MY DOCTOR'S OFFICE FOR MY FOR MY APPOINTMENTS. IT'S KIND OF TRICKY JUST GETTING OUT OF THERE AT TIMES. SO ANYTHING WE CAN DO, MA'AM, TO TO REALLY LOOK AT DIFFERENT ANGLES. AND I AGREE WITH DOCTOR HARRIS, FOR SENIORS IT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT. AND IT COULD BE MAKE THEM VERY NERVOUS, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENINGS WHEN THEY HAVE EVENTS. SO ANYTHING WE CAN REALLY LOOK AT FROM ALL ANGLES OF THE PROPERTY ITSELF AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN BE ABLE TO DO IF WE WE GO THROUGH THIS APPROVAL, ABSOLUTELY. SOMETHING CONSIDERED TOO IS EVENTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE KYLE PARKWAY BEING EXTENDED THROUGH THERE AND MAYBE HAVING ACCESS, YOU KNOW, TO THE SOUTH ROUNDABOUT. YEAH. THAT WOULD THAT ALLOWS CONNECTION TO THAT ROAD WHEN EVENTUALLY GETS BUILT. LONG LONG TERM POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. THINGS TO CONSIDER.

SHORT TERM. WE JUST NEED TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF THAT PARKING LOT WHERE THEY CAN TURN RIGHT OR LEFT SAFELY. SO WHAT DO Y'ALL WANT TO DO? I THINK THE THE STOP SIGNS ARE A VIABLE SOLUTION RIGHT THERE. I THINK IT'S IT'S THE CHEAPEST AND BEST THAT I CAN CONSIDER RIGHT NOW.

WELL, I THINK WHAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND IS TO WORK WITH OUR ENGINEERING FIRM TO LOOK AT THAT OPTION AND BRING SOME OPTIONS BACK ABOUT HOW WE CAN DO THAT, TO MAKE SURE WE CAN DO THAT SAFELY. IT'S CERTAINLY AN OPTION THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED. AS A SOLUTION BEFORE THE CENTER OPENS. SURE. YEAH. MIKE TRIMBLE, WE'LL WE'LL CONTINUE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. YOU KNOW, WHAT I DON'T WANT TO DO IS CREATE ANOTHER ISSUE WITH WHATEVER SOLUTION WE PUT IN PLACE. I

[01:55:03]

MEAN, STOP SIGNS. I THINK WE DEFINITELY WANT WE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT I'D BE CONCERNED ABOUT AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THE SPEED AND SAFETY ISSUES WE'RE ALREADY HAVING OUT THERE, I'D WANT TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT AND MODEL THAT OUT TO SEE HOW THAT'S GOING TO LOOK. BUT I'LL WORK WITH OUR OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING TEAM TO LOOK AT OPTIONS. I'M SURE WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME INTERIM SOLUTIONS TO TO MAINTAIN THE ACCESS, BUT ALSO MAYBE IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF IT, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S THE MAIN ISSUE RIGHT NOW IS BEING ABLE TO TAKE THOSE SAFE LEFT TURNS OUT OF THE FACILITY. SO WE'LL JUST TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT ON THE INTERIM AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. THANK YOU. TOO MANY OF US. I THINK FROM DAY ONE, ESPECIALLY COUNCILMEMBER TOBIAS, HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS AS IS A CONCERN. SO WE AT THE VERY LEAST HAVE TO EXHAUST EVERY SINGLE OPTION REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE FINAL DECISION IS. YOU KNOW, AGREE.

WE'LL PRIORITIZE THAT ALONG WITH MOVING THIS PROJECT FORWARD. THANK YOU. SO, MAYOR, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE VOTING ON IS THE FUNDING FOR THE DESIGN PHASE. OKAY. RIGHT.

CORRECT. OKAY. CORRECT. MOTIONS. MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 11. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY COUNCILOR HARRIS, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER MCKINNEY THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM 11. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 7

[16) Consider approval of a resolution to assign city council districts to serve as representatives on the Board on Aging appointment panel.]

TO 0. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 16. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO ASSIGN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS TO SERVE AS REPRESENTATIVES ON THE BOARD OF AGING APPOINTMENT PANEL. THIS ITEM IS PRESENTED BY MISS KIRKLAND AND WAS PULLED BY COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS.

COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS YES, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CONSIDERATION. I WOULD LIKE TO THE WAY THIS WAS WRITTEN WOULD NOT PUT ME ON THIS PANEL. AND GIVEN THAT THIS PARTICULAR BOARD ON AGING WAS MY INITIATIVE, WELL, NOT NECESSARILY MY BOARD, BUT IT WAS MY INITIATIVE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE ON THIS PANEL THAT REVIEWS THE BOARD APPLICANTS. SO WHY WHY ARE YOU NOT ABLE TO BE ON IT BASED ON THE FORMAT? WELL, IT THE IN THE BACKUP DOCUMENTS, IT SHOWS THAT IT WOULD BE DISTRICT TWO. I THINK IT WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO THAT PROPOSED RESOLUTION IS FOR DISTRICT ONE AND DISTRICT THREE. AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE DID THAT BECAUSE THOSE WERE THE NEXT TWO TO BE ASSIGNED TO A PANEL. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHO WAS IN THE SEATS AS OPPOSED TO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE INTERVIEW PANEL. YES. OH, OKAY. WELL, I HAVE INTERVIEWS, BUT YES, THE APPOINTMENT PANELS. YES. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT? INTERVIEWS? WE DON'T HAVE INTERVIEWS. APPOINTMENTS. YEAH. THEY'RE NOT DOING INTERVIEWS.

THAT IT'S THE APPOINTMENT PANEL. THEY DO TAKE LOOK AT THE APPLICATIONS OKAY. YOU DON'T DO INTERVIEWS. RIGHT. AND THE REASON WHY WE WERE RECOMMENDING WE'RE RECOMMENDING IT ONE MORE TIME. JUST TRY TO. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WE'RE RECOMMENDING TO ASSIGN DISTRICTS TO THESE PANELS. BECAUSE THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS I MEAN, COUNCIL MEMBER MCKINNEY WASN'T EVEN ON THE DAIS AT THAT TIME. AND SO WE WE'RE RECOMMENDING TO MOVE TO APPOINT DISTRICTS SO THAT AS NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS TAKE THEIR SEATS, WE DON'T NEED TO REVISIT WHO'S GOING TO SERVE ON THESE PANELS. SO IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS POLICY? YEAH. WELL, IT'S IT'S A PORTION OF THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS APPOINTMENT POLICY. OKAY. YEAH. SO WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR IS A, AN AMENDMENT TO THE POLICY OR AN AMENDMENT JUST OR JUST A DIRECTION WITH OPTIONS. SO WE HAD RECOMMENDED 1 IN 3 BECAUSE THEY WERE THE NEXT ONES ON THE ROTATION LIST, WHICH IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN USING BECAUSE WHEN WE LAST SET APPOINTMENT PANELS, BOARD ON AGING WASN'T A BOARD YET. RIGHT? OKAY. SO HOW ABOUT CAN WE JUST DO VOLUNTEERS AND JUST PICK TWO FROM THE DICE WE HAVE. SO IT'S IT'S ONE AND THREE, TWO AND FOUR, FIVE AND SIX. RIGHT.

THOSE ARE THE GROUPS. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING. ONE OF THOSE GROUPS NOT JUST ANY RANDOM. SO TO KEEP THE POLICY GOING AND INTACT. YEAH. OKAY. WELL AND I'D BE HAPPY TO TRADE OFF ONE OF THE ONES THAT I'VE GOT. YEAH. SO THAT WAS OPTION TWO WAS TO, TO APPOINT DISTRICTS TWO AND FOUR TO THE BOARD ON AGING. YEAH. IT'S KIND OF A SITUATION WHERE THE POLICY WHICH NORMALLY WORKS IS KIND OF GETTING INTO IN THE WAY OF, YOU KNOW, WHERE WHERE WE'RE AT. SO I'M, I'M OKAY WITH WHATEVER Y'ALL WANT TO DO. BUT I DO THINK COUNCILMAN HARRIS HAS GOT A PRETTY SOLID VISION FOR WHAT THIS BOARD IS SINCE SHE PROPOSED IT. SO I THINK SHE SHOULD BE ON THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT SHE'S OFFERING IN ORDER. OH MY GOSH. YEAH. WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP? KNOWLEDGE IS ALL KNOWLEDGE. SO DO YOU HAVE AN OBJECTION TO.

AND THE TRADE OFF WILL BE. THAT MEANS THE NEXT WILL GO TO ONE AND THREE, WHATEVER THE NEXT GROUP IS MAYBE HOPEFULLY THE WE'RE GOING TO BRING FORWARD AN ITEM AFTER THE FINAL ELECTION

[02:00:05]

IS CONSIDERED SO THAT WE CAN ASSIGN DISTRICTS, RATHER THAN SITTING COUNCIL MEMBERS TO EACH OF THESE PANELS, BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD I THINK TRAIN DEPOT BOARD WASN'T ACTIVE AT THE TIME THAT WE SET THESE APPOINTMENT PANELS AS WELL. AND SO FOR GOSH, I REMEMBER THAT, YES, ACTIVE WE'VE BEEN JUST ROTATING THROUGH. OKAY. WELL, AND THEN WE'VE LOST A COUPLE BECAUSE THEY'VE GONE TO PARTNERSHIPS. SO THE COMMUNITY GARDEN COMMITTEE AND THE TRAILS ARE JUST GOING TO REVISIT IT AND THEN TRY TO APPOINT DISTRICTS INSTEAD COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO YOU'RE GOING TO BRING BACK AN UPDATE TO THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE LAST SEATS TO BE SEATED. IS THERE IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO ALLOWING FOR I MEAN, WE HAVE TO. YOU'RE TELLING US WE HAVE TO DO ONE AND 3 OR 2 AND FOUR. WE'RE WANTING TO GO AHEAD AND FILL THE VACANCY THAT'S ON BOARD ON AGING. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO SET A PANEL TO SELECT THE FINAL MEMBER OF BOARD ON AGING. OKAY. DO ANY OF I HAVE TO AGREE WITH BECAUSE I CAN'T IMAGINE YOU KIND OF REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS BEFORE ON THIS, BUT I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.

GO AHEAD. TOBIAS. IT'S KIND OF LIKE I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SECRETARY SAYING, BECAUSE WHEN WE DID THIS BEFORE, IT WAS ALWAYS A MATTER OF LIKE, WELL, I WANT TO BE PART OF THE PARKS BECAUSE I LOVE THE PARKS. WELL, I LOVE BOOKS, SO I WANT TO BE PART OF THAT. THEN ONE COUNCIL MEMBER FELT LEFT OUT FOR THE OTHER, AND THEN IT'S LIKE, WELL, I WANT TO BE PART OF THAT TOO.

BUT YOU CAN ONLY DO ONE OR THE OTHER. SO THAT'S WHY IT GOES BACK TO, WELL, THE ONLY THING THAT WAS LEFT FOR ZUNIGA AT THE TIME WAS TO BE THE TRAIN DEPOT. AND HE'S LIKE, WELL, I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO BE PART OF THAT. SO I CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO SET A SPECIFIC TYPE OF POLICY. BUT I ALSO SEE THE OPEN BOOK WHERE DOCTOR HARRIS, THIS WAS HER INITIATIVE FROM THE BEGINNING. SO, I MEAN, TO ME, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH OPTION TWO OF HAVING DISTRICT TWO AND FOUR, BUT IF THEY WANT TO WAIT FOR ALL THE ELECTIONS TO BE DONE AND WAIT FOR NEW CAST MEMBERS, IN A SENSE OR NEW, WHOEVER'S GOING TO BE THEN THEN THEN I, I CAN I CAN STAND BY ON THAT. I THINK IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO THE TWO LADIES TO MY RIGHT, BECAUSE MAYOR PRO TEM IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, ON THE BALLOT. AND WE HAVE TWO BRAND NEW ELECTED OFFICIALS HERE AND ONE ONE POLICY HAS ONE OF YOU, ONE ONE OPTION HAS THE OTHER. DO EITHER OF YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR STRONG DESIRE OR INCLINATION TO BE ON THIS PARTICULAR PANEL OR OFF OR OFF? I CAN GO EITHER WAY. LAURA LEE HAS VAST KNOWLEDGE ON THE PANEL. SO IF THE VOTE IS FOR TWO AND FOUR TO PICK IT UP, I'M HAPPY TO OBLIGE. ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? ALL RIGHT. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR OPTION TWO. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY MAYOR. SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER MCKINNEY. WE APPROVE OPTION TWO FOR ITEM 16. IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL OPPOSED I. ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES 7 TO 0. YOU'RE A SHREWD NEGOTIATOR, MAYOR PRO TEM. WELL DONE. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS AGENDA ITEM 20.
