ALL RIGHT. NEXT, WE HAVE SOME PROCLAMATIONS. FIRST ONE IS NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH. ARE THERE INDIVIDUALS HERE TO

          PROCLAMATION. THIS IS A PROCLAMATION DECLARING SEPTEMBER, 2022 AS SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH IN THE CITY OF HUTTO, TEXAS. WHEREAS SEPTEMBER IS KNOWN AS NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH, IT IS INTENDED TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS SURROUNDING RESOURCES AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY. WHEREAS, ACCORDING TO THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, 45,979 PEOPLE DIED OF SUICIDE IN 2020. WITH 1.2 MILLION ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

          AND WHEREAS THE CITY OF HUTTO IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER COMMUNITY IN THE COUNTRY, BUT CHOOSES TO PUBLICLY STATE AND PLACE ITS FULL SUPPORT BEHIND LOCAL EDUCATORS, MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, ATHLETIC COACHES, GROUP LEADERS, PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS, PARENTS, AND OTHERS WHO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

          [00:05:01]
HELPING SOMEONE REALIZE THEY'RE APPRECIATED AND SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER. WHEREAS THE NUMBER 988 IS AN ESTABLISHED HOTLINE FOR TALK OR TEXT AND EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO SAVE THIS NUMBER AND USE IT WHEN YOU, A FRIEND, OR A LOVED ONE IS EXPERIENCING A CRISIS SO THAT LIVES CAN BE SAVED. 
          AND WHEREAS ORGANIZATIONS, LIKE THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS AND NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION LIFELINE 1800-273-TALK TO SHED LIGHT ON THIS TOPIC. 
          WHEREAS, EVERY MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THROUGHOUT LIFE'S STRUGGLES, WE ALL NEED THAT OCCASIONAL REMINDER THAT WE ARE ALL SILENTLY FIGHTING OUR OWN BATTLES. I MIKE SNYDER, THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF HUTTO, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM IT SUICIDE AWARENESS MONTH, RAISE AWARENESS AND ENCOURAGE THOSE IN CRISIS TO SEEK HELP. PROCLAIM THIS 15TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2022. 
          >> THANK YOU. AND THE DOCTOR IS HERE TO SPEAK, TOO. COME ON UP. 
          I HAVE WITH US JOHN HAYNES, WHO IS PART OF THE SANDBOX AT MADELEINE'S PLACE. DR. ESTRADA FROM HUTTO ISD AND LET YOU SPEAK SOME ON THIS. OKAY. 
          >> YOU COVERED A LOT. THANK YOU, MIKE. 
          AND THANK YOU, ALL, FOR INVITING ME HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC TONIGHT. IT'S ONE THAT, AS MIKE REFERENCED, IS OFTENTIMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TALK ABOUT. 
          IT COMES WITH HEAVINESS FOR THE OBVIOUS REASONS. 
          AND IN MY LIFE, IT'S DEEPLY PERSONAL BECAUSE IN 2012, I LOST MY 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO A VERY UNEXPECTED SUICIDE. 
          AND IN -- YOU KNOW, AS A PARENT YOU ARE, LIKE, WHAT DID I MISS HERE? WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT, AND WHAT I'VE LEARNED SINCE THEN, IS THAT ALL OF -- NOBODY'S CASE IS EXACTLY THE SAME. NOBODY'S EXPERIENCING THE SAME THINGS. SO, SUICIDE CAN SORT OF REAR ITS UGLY HEAD SOMETIMES IN UNEXPECTED WAYS. 
          AND IN THE AFTERMATH OF THAT, THE CONFUSION OF THAT, THE GRIEF OF THAT, MY WIFE, RACHEL AND I, AND AMAZING FRIENDS, SOME OF WHO ARE IN THE ROOM TONIGHT, LAUNCHED THE SANDBOX AT MADELEINE'S PLACE. WE'RE LOCATED HERE IN HUTTO AND BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE JANUARY OF 2014. 
          AND OUR MISSION IS REALLY PRETTY SIMPLE. 
          IT'S TO HELP TEENS NAVIGATE ADOLESCENCE WITH A HEALTHY SENSE OF WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING. 
          WE HAVE A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS, ONE OF WHICH IS TEEN SUICIDE AWARENESS. SO, WE REALLY TRY TO IMPRESS UPON THE TEENS THAT THEIR ROLE, SHOULD THIS CROSS THEIR PATH, IS NOT TO TRY TO HANDLE IT ON THEIR OWN, BUT GET A RESPONSIBLE ADULT INVOLVED. OUR MOTTO AT THE SANDBOX IS BE HONEST, BE KIND AND SPEAK UP. THOSE WORDS CAN ADDRESS A WHOLE HOST OF ISSUES TEENS HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN A VERY STRESSFUL WORLD, YOU KNOW, DRIVEN BY TECHNOLOGY AND ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH, YOU KNOW, GROWING UP. 
          SO, WE THINK, YOU KNOW, HONESTY AND THE RELATIONSHIPS, KINDNESS, AND HOW THEY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY IN SOCIAL MEDIA AND SPEAKING UP FOR EACH OTHER. 
          SO, IF A FRIEND IS IN A POSITION THEY CAN'T, THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO SO. AND I CAN SHARE WITH YOU THAT, IN OUR CASE, THAT WE'VE HAD TWO INSTANCES WHERE SOMEBODY DID COME TO US, AND A TEEN WAS IN CRISIS MODE, AND WE WERE ABLE TO HELP CREATE A DEFLECTION POINT AND GET THEM BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK. SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S ON OUR WEBSITE. WE OPENLY TALK ABOUT THIS. 
          YOU KNOW, WE IF WE HAD TO CLOSE OUR DOORS TOMORROW FOR ANY REASON, EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE DONE TO THIS POINT HAS BEEN MORE THAN WORTH IT. AS MIKE SAID, TEEN SUICIDE IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH BETWEEN THE AGES OF 10 AND 24 AND THIS DOESN'T EVEN ADDRESS WHAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR VETERANS, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND PEOPLE IN THOSE HIGH-STRESS ENVIRONMENTS. 
          IT IS AN EPIDEMIC. ALL I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH TONIGHT IS, AND MIKE AGAIN REFERENCED IT IN THE PROCLAMATION THERE, IS THAT IT'S OKAY TO MAKE AN INQUIRY. 
          WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID OF THIS. WE SHOULDN'T HIDE BECAUSE IT 
          [00:10:03]
FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE OR IT'S HEAVY. 
          IT IS HEAVY BUT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE TOO IMPORTANT. 
          AND, AS MIKE SAID, THAT 988 NUMBER, SUPER EASY TO REMEMBER. 
          IT'S NATIONWIDE NOW. I THINK IT WENT LIVE IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. IT'S IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. 
          SO, IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF IN A SITUATION AND YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, WHAT ADVICE TO GIVE, WHO TO CALL, 988 WILL AT LEAST GET SOMEBODY ON THE PHONE TO PROVIDE SOME RESOURCES AND GET YOU POINTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, CALL ME AND I'LL COME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          >> MAYOR SNYDER, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PRESENT HERE TONIGHT. 
          I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH THIS PROCLAMATION MEANS AND JUST STANDING TOGETHER WITH YOU TO PROMOTE THE SUICIDE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE MR. OWENS, ONE OF OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES. BECAUSE AS A TEAM OF EIGHT, TAKING CHILDREN IS OUR CORE BUSINESS, THIS IS WHAT WE DO. 
          AND MORE THAN JUST SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO EACH AND EVERY DAY. 
          WE HAVE 9650 STUDENTS, WE HAVE 1450 EMPLOYEES, EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE, INCLUDING OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES, IS REQUIRED TO TRAIN ANNUALLY ON SUICIDE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION. 
          THE BOARD HAS MADE A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN PROVIDING -- INCREASING THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS IN OUR SCHOOLS. 
          BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, INCREASING THE NUMBER OF LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO MAKE IT OKAY TO SAY SOMETHING WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSION ARE TRAINED TO OFFER SERVICES TO FAMILIES IN A VERTICAL PATTERN. 
          BECAUSE IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH A CHILD IN THE HIGH SCHOOL, CHANCES ARE THERE ARE SOME THINGS GOING ON WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILD AND THE ELEMENTARY CHILD. 
          BY THE SAME TOKEN, THERE ARE SYMPTOMS AND  SIGNS IN THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE FAMILY DYNAMICS WE CAN IMPACT AND AFFECT AND CREATING LONG HEAV-LASTING CHAN I STAND HERE BEFORE YOU TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOUR SCHOOLS, YOUR PROFESSIONALS, YOUR PEOPLE WATCHING OUT FOR THE KIDS, WE ARE ALWAYS ON THE ALERT. AND THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST TRAGIC THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN IN ANY COMMUNITY IN THE SCHOOLS, AND WE STRIVE EACH AND EVERY DAY TO LOOK FOR THOSE SIGNS IN CHILDREN, NOT JUST IN OUR CHILDREN. 
          COVID HAD REALLY HAD AN IMPACT ON THE TEACHING PROFESSION, ON EDUCATORS. THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ON OUR STAFF. 
          AND OUR BOARD HAS APPROVED THAT INVESTMENT, ALONG WITH PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR OUR CHILDREN, WE ALSO PROVIDE THEM FOR EACH AND EVERY EMPLOYEE IN THE DISTRICT. 
          WE HAVE COUNSELORS THAT LITERALLY COME TO THE CAMPUSES, TO THE OFFICES AND PROVIDE COUNSELING AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT ON SITE. AND, FOR FAMILIES AND EVEN FOR EMPLOYEES WHO CANNOT AFFORD SERVICES BEYOND WHAT WE PROVIDE IN THE DISTRICT, WE FIND RESOURCES BECAUSE WE NEVER WANT ECONOMICS OR THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES TO BE AN IMPEDIMENT TO BE ABLE TO GET WHAT OUR FAMILIES AND WHAT OUR STAFF NEEDS. SO, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THIS AWARENESS AND PREVENTION. 
          MUCH FOR BEING HERE. WE HAVEN'T OFFICIALLY MET, BUT IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU. I'VE BEEN TALKING TO YOU ON THE PHONE. MAYOR SNYDER, THANKS FOR COLLABORATING WITH ME ON THIS. IT'S A TRULY HEARTFELT PASSION OF MINE. UM, AND I WANT TO THANK STAFF AND THE ATTORNEYS FOR ALLOWING ME TO DRAFT THE PROCLAMATION AND PUT ALL THAT INTO WORDS, ALL THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY TO EVERYONE AND THE CITY WANTS TO SAY TO EVERYONE. 
          I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS TOPIC BECAUSE I'M A SURVIVOR. ONCE WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER, IN OUR SCHOOLS IN THE SAY  -- THE '80S, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SUPPORT WE HAVE NOW. SECOND AS AN ADULT. 
          FORTUNATELY, BOTH ATTEMPTS ARE UNSUCCESSFUL AND GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE. HE HAS A PURPOSE FOR EVERY SOUL THAT WALKS THIS EARTH AND NO ONE IS EVER ALONE. 
          I'M ALSO A SURVIVOR OF DOMESTIC, EMOTIONAL ABUSE, WHICH IS WHAT 
          [00:15:05]
LED TO MY SECOND SUICIDE ATTEMPT. 
          EVEN IF YOU FIND THE COURAGE TO LEAVE AN UNHEALTHY SITUATION, IT DOESN'T STOP THE DESIRE TO CONTROL OR DEAL WITH YOUR LIFE. 
          THE LEGAL SYSTEM IS ALSO A TOOL THAT CAN BE USED. 
          TODAY I STAND STRONG IN KNOWING THAT I HAVE SURROUNDED MYSELF WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE, THE RIGHT RESOURCES, AND THE RIGHT PROFESSIONALS, AND I WILL CONTINUE TO TELL MY STORY. 
          I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERPRET W -- TRANSPARENT WITH MY STORY. I'M MORE THAN WILLING TO TALK TO YOU. REMEMBER, THERE'S NO SHAME IN TELLING YOUR STORY. IT MAY OFFER HOPE IT TAKES TO SAVE ONE LIFE. IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY. 
          IT IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS TO ASK FOR HELP. 
          AND AS EMPTY AS THAT FEELS IN THAT MOMENT, GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOU. THANK YOU. 
          [5.2. National Hunger Action Month (Mayor Mike Snyder)]
          >> NEXT, DONNA. >> WE'VE GOT SOME IMPORTANT THINGS IN SEPTEMBER. NEXT WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING HUNGRY ACTION MONTH. WHEREAS ACCORDING TO FEEDING AMERICA, THE PANDEMIC HAS MOST IMPACTED FAMILIES THAT WERE ALREADY FACING HUNGRY OR ONE PAYCHECK AWAY FROM FACING HUNGRY AND WHEREAS HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN ARE MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE FOOD INSECURITY AND MANY OF THOSE HOUSEHOLDS DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL NUTRITION TRAMS, LIKE THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND VISIT THEIR LOCAL FOOD BANKS AND OTHER FOOD PROGRAMS FOR EXTRA SUPPORT. 
          WHEREAS, NATIONAL HUNGRY ACTION MONTH IS A I, MIKE SNYDER, MAYOR OF HUTTO TEXAS, BY VIRTUE IN THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN US DO HEREBY PROACCUMULATION SEPTEMBER 2022 AS HUNGRY MONTH AND TAKE ACTION AGAINST HUNGRY IN THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER BY FUND OR FOOD DONATION VOLUNTEERING OR ADVOCACY. 
          WITH ME WE HAVE DONNA JONES, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE HUTTO 
          RESOURCE CENTER. >> THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TODAY. AS MIKE SAID, SEPTEMBER IS A VERY IMPORTANT MONTH. IT'S SUICIDE PREVENTION AND AWARENESS, THAT'S A REALLY BIG -- YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF GOES ALONGSIDE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. I IMAGINE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF SUICIDES COMMITTED, ADULT SUICIDE, UM, BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. SO, THAT KIND OF GOES -- A GREAT SEGUE INTO HUNGRY ACTION AWARENESS MONTH AND WHY THE FOOD PANTRY EXISTS IN HUTTO. 
          SO, FOOD INSECURITIES, MOST PEOPLE THINK FOOD INSECURITY MEANS I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO PUT FOOD ON MY TABLE. 
          THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. FOOD INSECURITY MEANS -- IT COULD ALSO MEAN, I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PUT HEALTHY FOOD ON MY TABLE. THAT MEANS THAT INSTEAD OF BUYING NUTRITIONAL MEALS THAT SUSTAIN OUR CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE DAY, UM, WE ARE FEEDING THEM RAMEN NOODLES. 
          THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, BUT TO HAVE THAT EVERY DAY AS YOUR FOOD, AS YOUR SOURCE OF NUTRITION, THAT IS NOT HEALTHY. 
          MACARONI AND CHEESE, UM, CORN DOGS, HOT DOGS, THOSE ARE NOT NUTRITIONAL THINGS. THEY'RE CHEAP, THEY'RE EASY TO -- THEY'RE EASY TO PUT ON THE TABLE, BUT THAT -- WHEN WE'RE MAKING CHOICES FOR OUR CHILDREN LIKE THAT, WE'RE NOT GIVING THEM THE BEST NUTRITION. WE'RE MAKING CHOICES LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PAYING A LIGHT BILL OR PUTTING NUTRITIONAL FOOD ON THE TABLE. 
          AND THAT IS A CHOICE THAT NO PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE FOR THEIR CHILDREN OR FOR OURSELVES. AT THE FOOD PANTRY, WE PROVIDE FOOD DISTRIBUTION THE FIRST SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH. 
          [00:20:03]
WE DISTRIBUTE BETWEEN 100 AND 125 HOUSEHOLDS A WEEK -- OR AT EACH DISTRIBUTION. THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT 500 MOUTHS THAT WE'RE FEEDING. STATISTICS SAY ONE IN SEVEN ADULTS SUFFER FROM FOOD -- ARE FOOD INSECURE ARE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED IN SOME WAY BY FOOD INSECURITY. 
          I KIND OF DID A SURVEY AROUND THE ROOM AND COUNTED 50 PEOPLE. 
          THOSE STATISTICS TELL US THERE'S SEVEN PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW WHO IS HAVING TO DECIDE, DO I PAY MY ELECTRIC BILL OR PUT NUTRITIOUS FOOD ON THE TABLE? THAT'S A REALITY. 
          OUR NEIGHBOR NEXT TO US COULD BE SUFFERING AND COULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD. DR. ESTRADA, I KNOW YOU SEE THIS IN THE SCHOOL. AT ONE TIME, I WORKED -- BACK IN MY 20S, I WORKED AS A LUNCH LADY FOR A SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THEY TOLD US IF YOU HAVE A CHILD THAT COMES UP AND WANTS MORE FOOD, YOU GIVE THEM MORE FOOD BECAUSE THAT COULD BE THE ONLY FOOD THAT THEY GET. 
          AND I REMEMBER THAT WHEN WE HAVE FAMILIES THAT COME THROUGH OUR FOOD PANTRY BECAUSE IT'S A REALITY. 
          IT'S THE REALITY OF WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE GLOBAL INFLATION. WHO'S BEEN TO THE GROCERY STORE LATELY? THE PRICES ARE GOING UP. 
          THAT MEANS THAT OUR FAMILIES THAT ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING ARE STRUGGLING EVEN MORE. SO, IT IS UPON US, THOSE THAT CAN HELP, TO ACTION. SEPTEMBER IS HUNGRY ACTION AWARENESS MONTH. I'M IMPLORING YOU TO PLEASE TAKE ACTION. IF YOU CAN MAKE A DONATION TO THE HUTTO RESOURCE CENTER FOOT PANTRY, I ASK THAT YOU DO IT. 
          $5 WILL PROVIDE 20 MEALS TO SOMEONE THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH CENTRAL TEXAS FOOD BANK. IT'S SO EASY TO DONATE TO THE HUTTO RESOURCE CENTER. YOU CAN TEXT HIPPO LOVE TO 707070, THAT'S HIPPO LOVE TO 707070. 
          IF OVER HOUSEHOLD IN HUTTO DONATED $5, WE COULD FUND THE FOOD PANTRY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. AS A COMMUNITY, WE CAN DO THIS. 
          I KNOW WE CAN DO IT BECAUSE WE SAW IT DURING THE PANDEMIC. 
          OUR NUMBERS ARE STAYING AT PANDEMIC LEVEL. 
          THE NUMBERS THAT WE WERE SEEING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC, WE'RE STILL SEEING THOSE NUMBERS. 
          AND WITH INFLATION CONTINUING TO RISE, I SEE THOSE NUMBERS INCREASING. THIS YEAR ALONE WE'VE SERVED 70 NEW HOUSEHOLDS. I'M JUST GOING TO TALK -- I KNOW THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO TALK ABOUT. 
          OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, WE HAVE ALREADY -- TODAY IS THE 15TH OF SEPTEMBER. WE HAVE ALREADY DISTRIBUTED $4,000 IN JUST UTILITY ASSISTANCE. 
          AND LAST MONTH, WE TALLIED ALL OF OUR REQUESTS AND RECEIVED ALMOST $20,000 FOR ASSISTANCE. UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE NOT AT THAT LEVEL WHERE WE CAN ASSIST THAT WAY, BUT ONE DAY WE WILL BE. 
          ONE DAY WE WILL HAVE A BIG FACILITY AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO HELP A LOT MORE. SO, THANK YOU ALL. 
          PLEASE DONATE TO THE HUTTO RESOURCE CENTER, WHETHER IT BE WITH YOUR TIME, YOUR TALENTS OR YOUR TREASURES. 
          WE HAVE SEVERAL SPOTS YOU CAN DONATE FOOD TO IN THE COMMUNITY, JUST A FEW YWCA, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AUTOMOTIVE OR IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A MONETARY DONATION, YOU CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE OR TEXT HIPPO LOVE TO 707070. 
          THANK YOU.

          AWESOME. >> ALL RIGHT. 
          THAT BRINGS US TO CITY MANAGER COMMENTS. 
          >> THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL. 
          FOR THE RECORD, JAMES ERPP. FIRST, I WANT TO REITERATE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS BEGUN ITS 6:00 P.M. WORKSHOPS BEFORE COUNCIL MEETINGS. THOSE ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. 
          IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SPECIFIC TOPIC WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THIS EVENING'S TOPIC WAS WATER, WATER PLANNING AND WATER MODELING. 
          I'M SURE THAT'S EXCITING. I'M SURE YOU WANTED TO LEARN ABOUT THAT, BUT THEY'RE VERY IMPORTANT TOPICS TO THE COMMUNITY, SO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR THOSE WORKSHOPS. 
          DURING WORKSHOPS, IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND FOR THERE TO BE CONVERSATION, TO ASK QUESTIONS. 
          THERE'S NO VOTES. THEN, WE ARE WORKING TO GET THE ROOM UP THERE CAMERAED AND WIRED IN PERMANENTLY SO WE CAN STREAM THOSE LIVE. RIGHT NOW WE'RE HAVING TO RECORD THEM AND POST THEM THE FOLLOWING DAY. 
          THIS COMING WEEK, I THINK IT IS. LET'S SEE HERE. 
          THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE IS HOLDING THE REGIONAL MEETING IN TAYLOR FOR THE CITY LEADERS FROM REGION 10, WHICH INCLUDES THE CITY OF HUTTO. THESE ARE EXCELLENT 
          [00:30:03]
OPPORTUNITIES TO CONTINUE THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. 
          THERE ARE SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT ARE PLANNING TO ATTEND AND REPRESENT THE CITY OF HUTTO NEXT WEEK. 
          YOUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER IS TEXAS WORKFORCE COMMISSIONER. 
          THAT SHOULD BE REALLY AMAZING. YOU ALREADY KNOW ABOUT NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD, IT WILL BE TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4TH. IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE HUTTO POLICE DEPARTMENT TO STOP BY YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD BLOCK PARTY GO TO THE HPD FACEBOOK PAGE AND SIGN UP BEFORE SEPTEMBER 26TH. 
          THAT GIVES THEM ENOUGH TIME TO PLAN THEIR ROUTE THAT THEY CAN MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO GET EVERYWHERE THEY NEED TO BE. 
          SPEAKING OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE HUTTO POLICE LAUNCHED A MAJOR NEW PROGRAM THIS WEEK AS A PART OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS MONTH. IT'S CALLED "THE COMMUNITY SAFE, S-A-F-E PROJECT WHICH STANDS FOR STRATEGIC ACTIONS FOR EVERYONE. 
          IT OFFERS TRAINING, PLANNING, EVALUATION AND SUPPORT FOR FACILITIES ALL ACROSS HUTTO, SUCH AS CHURCHES, DAVYCARES AND BUSINESSES. IF YOUR FACILITY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE SERVICES, REACH OUT TO THE HUTTO POLICE DEPARTMENT. QUICK REMINDER:  EVERY FRIDAY IS HIPPO NATION FRIDAY. WHERE THAT BURNT ORANGE AND SHOW YOUR PRIDE. TOMORROW 9/16 IS A HOME GAME AT MEMORIAL STADIUM AGAINST JUDSON. I'D VERY MUCH LIKE TO STEPPED MY THANKS TO DR. THOMAS FOR ALLOWING ME TO DO THE COIN TOSS AT LAST WEEK'S FOOTBALL GAME. ALTHOUGH, OUR GOOD BOYS LOST THAT COIN TOSS AND WE KNOW HOW THE FOOTBALL GAME TURNED OUT, I DID ENJOY THAT EXPERIENCE AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY AND I WILL EXTEND THE INVITATION TO THE MAYOR TO DO THE SAME THING. MAYBE HE'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER LUCK. THEN ONE MORE THING, BECAUSE THE CITY'S PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US, PARTICULARLY AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW AS A COMMUNITY, AND TO SHARE THAT PRIDE. 
          SO, I'VE DIRECTED STAFF, STARTING TOMORROW, ASSUMING EVERYTHING GOES WELL, SO, IF IT DOESN'T, BLAME THE WEATHER, BUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS KIND ENOUGH TO DONATE SOME HIPPO NATION FLAGS AND WE INTEND TO DRAPE THE FLAGS ACROSS THE FRONT OF CITY HALL ON HOME GAMES. SO, YOU'LL SEE THE FLAGS HANGING FROM THE BANISTER THERE OUTSIDE OF CITY HALL. 
          THE LAST CALENDAR UPDATES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO KEEP ON YOUR LIST IS SEPTEMBER IS LIBRARY CARD SIGNUP MONTH. 
          SO, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND EVERYBODY TO GET OUT THE LIBRARY. THE LIBRARY HAS GREAT PROGRAMS. THEY STARTED ADULT GAME DAY. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY IF IT'S ADULT GAMES, OR ADULT GAME DAY, BUT I THINK IT IS ADULT GAME DAY AND THE ADULT BOOK CLUB MEETING TO MEET WITH OTHER FOLKS WHO SHARE YOUR INTERESTS AND TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, YOUR PASSIONS. 
          THE WINTER HOLIDAYS ARE AROUND THE CORNER. 
          THIS TUESDAY IS HEY, HUTTO NEWSLETTER. 
          YOU SHOULD SEE INFO ON THE HUTTO EVENTS. 
          WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE FOLKS DECORATE THEIR HOUSES FOR HALLOWEEN, ENTER THE CONTEST AND HAVE SOME JUDGES RUN AROUND. 
          HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE SOME DRAGGING RIGHTS WITH YARD SIGNS AND TROPHIES THAT YOU CAN MAINTAIN THROUGH NEXT YEAR TO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT YOU WERE THE BEST HALLOWEEN DECORATOR. LASTLY, SPEAKING OF HEY HUTTO, IT'S ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO STAY INFORMED WITH THE CITY, I FEEL LIKE I'M READING AN INFOMERCIAL AT THIS POINT. 
          SIGN UP AND READ IT. IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET INFORMATION FROM THE CITY. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THAT IS THE

          THAT WILL BE REALLY KEY AS WE, AS A CITY, CONTINUE TO GROW TO THE NORTHEAST AND THE SOUTHEAST AND THE EXPANSION ON THE EASTSIDE WITH THE MEGA SITE. HOW THAT PLAYS OUT IN THE FUTURE WILL BE KEY TO THE GROWTH OF THE CITY.

BETTER PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY. 
          AND, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THE MOBILITY OF OUR CARS AND OUR TRAFFIC AS WE EXPAND. WE LOOKED AT SOME DRAFTS FOR THE DOWNTOWN PLAN OF PROPOSED PROJECTS. 
          THEY WERE SHOWN TO COUNCIL IN A WORK SESSION LAST MONTH. 
          IT'S KIND OF THOSE SAME PROJECTS ON VACANT PIECES OF PROPERTY THAT WOULD HELP REVITALIZE. THEY GOT A LOT OF INPUT FROM THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER COMMITTEE MEETING LATER THIS MONTH. THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WORKING ON A DRAFT, GET SOME PUBLIC FEEDBACK IN THE OCTOBER/NOVEMBER TIME FRAME AND THE PLAN IS TO BRING IT TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL IN DECEMBER. 
          THAT'S STILL ON TRACK AND SEVERAL MORE MEETINGS TO COME. 
          >> THE OTHER I THINK WAS THE ISD LONG-TERM FACILITY PLANNING COMMITTEE MET LAST WEEK. THAT MEETING WAS FOCUSED LARGELY ON REVIEWING DEMOGRAPHICS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND PROJECTIONS WHERE WE WILL BE OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS. 
          FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT KNOW, THE THIRD MIDDLE SCHOOLS FOR HUTTO IS BEING PLANNED NEXT TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT'S THERE. 
          THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT PLANS TO EXPAND THE 9TH GRADE CENTER TO THE SECOND HIGH SCHOOL AND PLANS TO ADD MORE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AS WE REACH CAPACITY, KIND OF THE LONG-TERM PROJECTION IS THAT SEVEN ELEMENTARIES, TWO MIDDLE SCHOOLS, ONE HIGH SCHOOL. 
          WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT EXPANDING TO, YOU KNOW, EIGHT ELEMENTARIES, THEY DON'T HAVE THAT ONE PLANNED, BUT THREE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, TWO HIGH SCHOOLS. 
          20 YEARS FROM NOW, THOSE NUMBERS DOUBLE, AND THEY EXPECT HUTTO TO HAVE FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS, SIX MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND 16 ELEMENTARIES, POTENTIALLY. SO, THAT IS A HUGE CHANGE IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS. IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF PLANNING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. THERE'S ALSO -- THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE TARGETS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE TARGETING IS FOR THOSE HIGH SCHOOLS TO BE 5A HIGH SCHOOLS. 
          THAT SOMETHING PEOPLE MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW. 
          THEY DISCUSSED WHAT THEY FEEL ARE THE SWEET SPOTS FOR THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOLS, MIDDLE SCHOOLS, AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN OVER TIME AS WE GET OUT TO ALL THIS GROWTH. NEXT UP FOR THAT COMMITTEE IS A TOUR OF EXISTING FACILITIES THIS COMING WEEKEND AND THEN THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE MEETINGS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT WILL START GETTING INTO HOW WE GO FROM LOOKING AT WHERE WE ARE TODAY, LOOKING AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF WHERE WE WILL BE IN A FEW YEARS AND HOW WE GET THERE, WHAT KIND OF PLANS NEED TO BE PUT IN PLACE TO ADD FACILITIES TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. I'LL KEEP REPORTING AS WE HAVE 
          MORE MEETINGS. >> THANK YOU, SIR. 
          ANY OTHER COMMENTS? >> I'VE GOT ONE, MAYOR. 
          I GUESS WE'LL STICK TO THE ISD UPDATES. 
          I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT THE CITY OF HUTTO HAS A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION WE FORMED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND THE ISD ALSO HAS A SIMILAR TASK FORCE THEY HAVE DEVELOPED. I SERVE ON THAT TASK FORCE. 
          WE MET THIS PAST WEEK. WE MET ACTUALLY LAST NIGHT AND WENT OVER SOME OF OUR GUIDING FRAMEWORK AS IT RELATES TO THE TASK FORCE AND SOME OF THE MEASURES OF HOW WE'RE PROGRESSING AND HOW WE CAN MEASURE PROGRESS WITH THAT. 
          THE TWO THINGS I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT HERE IS WE ARE RECRUITING ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF THAT TASK FORCE. 
          SO, THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY AND TO BE ABLE TO START TAKING PART IN THE DIVERSITY TASK FORCE THAT THE ISD IS DOING, IN ADDITION TO THE ONES THAT THE CITY IS DOING. 
          AND SO, WE CAN GET MORE INFORMATION OUT ON THAT. 
          THERE IS A FALL FORUM OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 28TH, 6:30 TO 7:45. IT WILL BE HELD AT THE 9TH GRADE CENTER. SEPTEMBER 28TH, 6:30 TO 7:45. 
          WE ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO COME OUT AND SEE THE GREAT WORK THAT THE ISD IS DOING AS WELL IN RELATION TO DIVERSITY AND 
          INCLUSION. >> SINCE IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE KIND OF DOING SOME LIAISON REPORT STUFF, I WENT TO THE MEETING DOWNTOWN. WE ADOPTED THE BUDGET FOR THE GOVERNMENT. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF IT THAT THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW. 
          ONE IS THE BIG KICKOFF FOR A TWO-YEAR PROJECT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF 911 SERVICE FOR THE SURROUNDING AREA. 
          BASICALLY, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE PROCUREMENT AND DECIDING WHAT THE SERVICE WILL BE AND THEN BUYING IT AND THEN ROLLING IT OUT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. AND THE ABILITIES WILL BE IN THE FUTURE, ONCE THAT SYSTEM IS OUT THERE, THAT RESIDENTS WOULD BE 
          [00:40:01]
ABLE TO DIAL 911 BUT TRANSMIT PHOTOS, VIDEO AND LIVE BROADBAND DATA TO THE PROFESSIONAL SO THEY CAN STILL SEE WHAT IS GOING ON, ON SITE, REALTIME. YOU CAN STILL DO THE TRADITIONAL CALL WITH 911 BUT YOU CAN SEND TEXT MESSAGES. 
          THAT WILL BE A DRAMATIC CHANGE. THAT WILL BE COMING IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. THE OTHER BIG PART IS THEY DO THE AREA AGENCY ON AGING OF THE CAPITOL AREA. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF SERVICES AND A LOT OF COMEBACK FROM COVID. 
          UNDER THE NEW BUDGET CYCLE, THEY'VE RE BROUGHT BACK OUT MEDICATION SCREENINGS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE 60 OR OLDER. 
          IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN ONE MEDICATION CALL THE NUMBER TO REQUEST A SCREENING. THEY'LL GO THROUGH ALL YOUR MEDICATIONS TO SAY IF YOU'RE ON THE WRONG KIND. 
          EVENT ORGANIZERS, IF THEY'RE DOING AN EVENT CAN EMAIL MELISSA. THE OTHER FEATURE IS ANYONE WHO IS 60 AND OLDER CAN GET BENEFIT COUNSELING FOR ALL YOUR MEDICARE BENEFITS. THEY HAVE CARE COORDINATION FOR ANYONE WHO IS HOSPITALIZED OR SUFFERED A MAJOR CRISIS TO HELP YOU REMAIN INDEPENDENT AND MAKE FUTURE PLANS. 
          THEN FOR ANYONE IN HUTTO THAT MAYBE IS TAKING CARE OF SOMEONE OVER THE AGE OF 60, THEY ALSO HAVE CAREGIVER SUPPORT PROGRAMS THAT YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR, WHICH WILL GIVE RESPITE FROM TAKING CARE OF THAT PERSON WHO NEEDS MORE SUPPORT. 
          THOSE ARE THE BIG THINGS THAT CAME OUT FROM THAT. 
          THERE'S ALSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARM IS THE OTHER THIRD PART THAT THEY DO. I GOT THE INFORMATION. 
          I GAVE THAT TO THE CITY MANAGER AND OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN MAYBE TOUCH POINTS AT THE GOVERNMENTAL LEVEL IN THE FUTURE TO HELP IN OUR RAPIDLY GROWING ENVIRONMENT AS COUNCIL MEMBER THORNTON JUST SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WATER, ROADS, MAYBE ALL THOSE THINGS SO MAYBE WE CAN GET STATE DOLLARS TO HELP OFFSET SOME OF THAT. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THIS. I'LL PASS IT BACK. 
          >> THANK YOU, SIR. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? 
          >> I HAVE ONE. IT WILL BE QUICK. 
          I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE CITY OF KYLE. 
          THEY HAD AN OPENING OF THE MEMORIAL PARK ON 9/11, SO THIS PAST SUNDAY. MYSELF, AND OTHERS WERE IN ATTENDANCE. OF COURSE, ALONG WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND OTHER STAFF MEMBERS. SO, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THEM FOR THE INVITATION. FOR ME AS A COUNCILMEMBER, I THINK IT WAS VERY EYE-OPENING. I KNOW AS OF LATE, UP UNTIL THIS POINT, WE'VE BEEN PLAYING A LOT OF CATCH-UP, BUT AS WE DO ALL THESE PLANNING THINGS THAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT, IT'S ABOUT HAVING THAT VISION. SO MANY TIMES IN HUTTO, WELL, WHY DID WE DO IT THAT WAY? WE DIDN'T THINK THAT ONE THROUGH. I REALLY THINK THAT'S OUR THING THAT WE REALLY, REALLY NEED TO GET BACK TO, TRYING TO HAVE THAT VISION. FOR INSTANCE, THIS PARK TOOK ABOUT EIGHT YEARS TO SEE FROM BEGINNING TO END, TO ACTUAL FRUITION, SO THAT DOES REQUIRE A LOT OF WORKING TOGETHER, COLLABORATION THAT WOULD OUTLI MOST OF US THAT SERVE UP HERE ON COUNCIL. SO, JUST THAT VISION AND THAT LOVE AND WANT TO SEE THINGS THROUGH AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S WHAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD HERE IN HUTTO SO IT KIND OF GAVE ME, UM, A SENSE OF HOPE OF WHAT HUTTO CAN BE. 
          WE WENT AROUND AND SAW SOME REALLY AMAZING PARKS. 
          IT EXCITED ME OF WHAT WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY IN THE FUTURE VISION. SO, I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THEM AND THE INSISTING FOR THAT. -- THE CITY MANAGER FOR T THAT. 
          THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. WE WILL GO ON TO CITY COUNCIL 
          LEISON REPORTS. >> I HAVE ONE FOR PARKS JUST 
          KIND OF LEADING FROM THAT. >> THE PARKS ADVISORY BOARD MET LAST NIGHT, ACTUALLY, AND DISCUSSION ON THE VETERANS MEMORIAL CONTINUED. AND, ACTUALLY, COUNTY COMMISSIONER OFFICE THEY'VE INCREASED THE AMOUNT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DONATING FROM $50,000 TO $100,000, SO THAT'S AMAZING. SO, THEY'RE GOING TO DONATE THAT TO THE CITY FOR A VETERANS MEMORIAL. 
          THE CITY AND THE PARKS BOARD, THEY'RE KIND OF ON A TIGHT TIMELINE TO GET LOCATION, GENERAL DESIGN AND SOME NUMBERS TO THE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE SO THE FUNDS CAN BE ALLOCATED AND RELEASED TO THE CITY. SO, JUST KIND OF TO THE PUBLIC OR ANYBODY WHO KNOWS ANYONE, IF YOU'RE A VETERAN, IF YOU KNOW A VETERAN LIVING IN HUTTO, CONTACT JEFF, OUR PARKS DIRECTOR. 
          [00:45:04]
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ANY INPUT INTO THIS MEMORIAL, WE NEED THAT VISION FOR THIS MEMORIAL SO THAT WE CAN UTILIZE THAT MONEY WELL. 
          SO DEFINITELY CONTACT JEFF OR ANYBODY ON THE PARKS ADVISORY BOARD FOR ANY KIND OF INPUT. IF YOU'RE A RESIDENT AS WELL AND YOU WANT A SAY-SO, REACH OUT AND IF YOU'RE A VETERAN GET INVOLVED. THE PARKS BOARD HAS ALSO BEEN WORKING WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD ON UPDATING REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPERS ON DONATING PARKLAND. 
          SO, WE'LL LIKELY SEE SOME OF THOSE CHANGES HERE IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL PROBABLY AT THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS GOING ON, BUT IT'S GREAT SEEING THEM COLLABORATING TO MAKE SURE, LIKE, THE LANGUAGE IS SOLID ON WHAT THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR DONATING LAND FOR DEVELOPMENT. ALSO, JEFF HAD SOME NUMBERS, LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS, ABOUT THE RATIOS OF RESIDENTS TO PARK ACREAGE. THE CITY HAS PARK SPACE ONLY FOR ABOUT 50% OF OUR CURRENT RESIDENTS. 
          SO, WE ARE BEHIND ON PARK SPACE FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND, OF COURSE, WE'RE GROWING. SO, WE DEFINITELY NEED TO PLAY SOME CATCH-UP WITH PARK SPACE. THEN, ALSO, THE COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT ARE COMING UP, IT'S ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29TH. 
          THERE'S ALSO THE HALLOWEEN HOUSE DECORATING CONTEST. 
          $5 TO ENTER. YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN THE CITY LIMITS, SO DEFINITELY PARTICIPATE IN THAT. 
          THAT'S IT FOR PARKS. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> POINT OF INFORMATION. IS IT CITY LIMITS ONLY? 
          >> CITY MANAGER. 78634. 
          >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. ANYBODY IN 78634 AND $5. 
          >> PLANNING AND ZONING MET ON SEPTEMBER 6TH. 
          OUR CIP PROJECTS WENT IN FRONT OF THEM. 
          AS WE START TO ROLL EVERYTHING OUT, GET BACK ON TRACK, HAVE OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING IN PLACE, UM, THERE WAS SOME VALUABLE INSIGHT THAT CAME FROM PLANNING AND ZONING AND GETTING THEM INVOLVED PRIOR TO THE LIST COMING TO US. I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE. GREAT CONVERSATION, GREAT INFORMATION. I THANK THEM FOR THEIR DEDICATION. THEY WERE THERE A LONG TIME. 
          I DIDN'T MAKE IT THAT WHOLE TIME. 
          THANK YOU. GOT A QUICK EDC UPDATE. 
          WE HAD A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROJECT V, WHICH INVOLVED PROVIDING INCENTIVES, WHICH CURRENTLY INCLUDE A CORPORATE PAID INCENTIVE OF $5 MILLION TO BE PAID OVER A 10-YEAR PERIOD OF CONTINUED OPERATION OF A LARGE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT VENUE, OFFERING A VARIETY OF FAMILY-FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS. MANY ASK WHAT IS THAT? IT'S NOT TO BE DISCLOSED YET, BUT IT'S ABOUT A 35,000-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING MIXED USE, WITH SEVERAL UNITS OUT OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. THIS CONVERSATION STARTED IN NOVEMBER WITH OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE ALREADY SEEN SOME PROGRESS BY GOING TO ICSC. 
          OUTSIDE OF THAT, WE MET IN EXECUTIVE SESSION ON PROJECT HEIGHTENED, PROJECT SKYBOX, PROJECT E, PROJECT V AND HOPEFULLY THOSE MOVE FORWARD AND WE WILL GIVE MORE DETAILS. 
          THAT'S ALL THERE IS. ALL RIGHT. 
          ARE THERE ANY FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS? 
          [8. PUBLIC COMMENT]
ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT. SO, WITH PUBLIC COMMENT, AS I CALL YOUR NAME, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. 
          THE LIGHT WILL START AT GREEN. WHEN THERE'S 30 SECONDS LEFT, IT WILL GO TO YELLOW. AS TIME EXPIRES, IT WILL GO TO RED. FIRST UP WE HAVE STEPHANIE WELT. 
          >> I'VE NEVER DONE THIS SO BARE WITH ME. 
          >> YOU'RE OKAY. >> I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY OPINION ON THE NO NEW REVENUE. I DEFINITELY THINK WE SHOULD BE STICKING WITH THAT. I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE 
          [00:50:03]
CITY OF HUTTO PILLARS, AND MAINTAINING FINANCIAL STABILITY, GROWING RESPONSIBLY AND SUSTAINABLY, CREATING THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF LIFE DOESN'T COME WITH INCREASING TAX. 
          SO, A LOT OF PEOPLE IN HUTTO ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING WITH THE TAX INCREASES THAT WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXPERIENCING, BE IT YOUR RENTER OR A HOMEOWNER, IT ALL TRICKLES DOWN. 
          EVEN AS DONNA WAS SAYING EARLIER, THE PRICES AT THE GROCERY STORE ARE GOING UP, MORE PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING FOOD INSECURITY. INCREASING TAXES THAT WILL INCREASE EVERY CONSTITUENT OF HUTTO IS NOT A GOOD IDEA, IN MY OPINION. AND INFLATION CONTINUES TO GROW. 
          YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST NOT IN A POSITION WHERE MOST FAMILIES CAN KEEP LIVING HERE IF IT CONTINUES TO GO IN THAT WAY. 
          SO, THAT'S ALL I REALLY HAVE FOR YOU. 
          IT'S NOTHING TOO CRAZY, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT YOUR FAMILIES AND THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE CITY THAT WANT TO STAY IN THIS LOVELY CITY ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING TO CONTINUE TO LIVE HERE BASED ON EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN GOING ON. 
          SO, INCREASING THAT BURDEN ISN'T GOING TO HELP. 
          SO, THAT'S ALL I GOT FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> NEXT WE HAVE SAMANTHA TROND AND YOU'RE GIVING YOUR TIME TO 
          JACKIE? >> YES. 
          >> OKAY. SORRY. 
          I TAKE NOTES ON EVERYTHING. ALL RIGHT. 
          NEXT WE HAVE JACKIE. >> SORRY. 
          THAT'S MY DAUGHTER, BY THE WAY. SHE JUST BOUGHT A HOUSE IN HUTTO. SHE'S GIVING ME TIME. 
          IMPORTANT NIGHT TONIGHT, GUYS. BIG VOTE, IMPORTANT VOTE. 
          SO, I'VE WRITTEN ALL OF YOU IN REGARDS TO THE RECENT CONSIDERATION BY COUNCIL TO ADOPT A TAX RATE HIGHER THAN THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE. I WILL VOICE OPINIONS. 
          I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT MOST OF YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED TO THE VOTERS AND CHANGED YOUR VOTE TO REFLECT THE WISHES OF THE RESIDENTS. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE IS THE MIDDLE GROUND AND THAT YOU CAN STILL ACCOMPLISH THE BIG THREE ROAD PROJECTS THAT THE CITY NEEDS WITHOUT PUTTING AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON THIS COMMUNITY? THE NUMBER OF HOME SALES IN THIS AREA IS SLOWING DOWN. WHY IS IT SO BAD TO BE CONSERVATIVE, FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE AND LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS WHEN THE ECONOMY IS MOST CERTAINLY HEADED INTO A RECESSION. DO WE NEED TO TAKE ON UNNECESSARY DEBT TO FUND PROJECTS THAT AREN'T GOING TO BE COMPLETED EVEN THIS YEAR? PROJECTS THAT AREN'T EVEN GOING TO BE STARTED UNTIL LATE NEXT YEAR? DO WE NEED TO BE PAYING THE DEBT SERVICE CHARGES WHILE THOSE PROJECTS SIT IDLE? CAN ANY OF YOU GIVE ME A GOOD REASON WHY WE NEED TO HAVE A TAX-AND-SPEND MEN -- MENTALITY? THE FAITH OF THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, TOO. 
          RESTORE OUR FAITH IN THE COUNCIL, REPAIR OUR TRUST IN THE CITY. TO MANAGE THESE PROJECTS CORRECTLY AND RESPONSIBLY. I HOPE ONE OF YOU WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS AT TONIGHT'S MEETING. 
          COUNCILMAN GORDON, THANK YOU FOR RETURNING MY EMAIL. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE AND WE'RE ON COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SIDES, I DO APPRECIATE YOUR TAKING THE TIME TO RESPOND. YOU SAY THAT WE HAVE 14 ROAD PROTS THAT  -- PROJECTS THAT WE NEED FUNDING FOR. 
          WE DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET. THERE IS NO REASON TO APPROVE THESE PROJECTS. THERE'S NO REASON TO APPROVE NEW FUNDING FOR NEW PROJECTS WHEN WE HAVE NOT EVEN COMPLETED THE PROJECTS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE BEEN GIVEN FUNDS FOR. 
          LET'S GET THAT DONE BEFORE WE GO ON TO MORE AND BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS. THAT IS FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. 
          I AM ARGUING -- I'M SORRY. ARGUING. 
          I'M URGING YOU ALL TO LISTEN TO CONSTITUENTS. 
          AT LEAST MAKE A HEALTHY START ON THE BIG THREE BEFORE MOVING ON THE OTHER PROJECTS. LET US CLEAN OUR PLATES FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST, REBUILD AND REPAIR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COUNCIL AND IS IT RESIDENTS AND PUT THAT CHAPTER IN OUR HISTORY TO BED. MOST EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS ME. 
          I COME TO THE MEETINGS TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS, BUT THE MAIN REASON THAT I COME TO THE MEETINGS AND I DO THIS MORE OFTEN THAN USUAL IS BECAUSE OF AWARENESS. 
          [00:55:03]
THREE YEARS AGO, AS EVERYBODY IS AWARE, 48 EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF HUTTO WERE LAID OFF. WE WERE LIED TO. 
          WE WERE TOLD BECAUSE OF COVID WE WERE LOSING OUR JOBS WHEN, IN FACT, IT WAS IRRESPONSIBLE FINANCIAL DECISIONS MADE FROM CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT LED TO THIS DECISION. 
          SO, I NO LONG WILL SIT BACK AND NOT BE AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CITY. AND I'M HERE TO TRY TO HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON TO PAY MORE ATTENTION, TO FOLLOW ALONG, TO LISTEN, TO HAVE YOUR EYES AND TO VOICE YOUR CONCERNS. THAT WILL CHANGE HUTTO IN MOVING IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          I'M SORRY. ARE YOU OKAY TALKING DURING -- 
          >> I PREFER THAT. >> ALL OF YOU ARE REPRESENTATIVES OF THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY, THE ONES THAT VOTED FOR YOU AND THE ONES THAT VOTED AGAINST YOU. 
          AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE ONES THAT DID NOT VOTE AT ALL. 
          90% OF THIS PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY DID NOT VOTE FOR ANY OF YOU, AT LEAST THAT'S MANY UNDERSTANDING. 
          I CAN'T OVEREMPHASIZE THIS POINT. 
          EACH MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL, EVERY ONE OF YOU, REPRESENTS EVERY CITIZEN OF THIS COMMUNITY, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH DID NOT VOTE FOR YOU. THE MAJORITY OF THESE HUTTO CITIZENS DO NOT WANT NEW TAXES, PERIOD. 
          THE HUTTO CITIZENS CANNOT AFFORD NEW TAXES. 
          HOW MANY FOLKS ARE SUFFERING FROM A REDUCTION IN THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE IN HUTTO ALL SIGNIFICANTLY ATTRIBUTED TO OVERTAXATION? IN THIS CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE, RECESSION, RECOVER FROM A ONCE IN A CENTURY PANDEMIC AND CONFLICTS ACROSS THE GLOBE, THIS IS NOT THE MOMENT, THIS IS NOT THE TIME, THIS IS NOT THE YEAR TO INCREASE TAXES ON THE CITIZENS OF HUTTO AND, YES, I KNOW THE CITY OF HUTTO CAN ONLY AFFECT THE CITY OF HUTTO'S PART IN THE EQUATION OF THE OVERALL NEW TAXATION. SO, I EXPECT THE HUTTO CITY COUNCIL TO CONTINUE THEIR COMMUNICATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS WITH HISD TO HELP REDUCE THE CITIZENS OF HUTTO'S BURDEN THROUGH THE HID TAXATIONS, WHICH ARE OUT OF CONTROL. 
          I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE ENTIRE HUTTO CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR CRYSTAL, AMY. I OWE YOU IN ENTHUSIASTIC AND SINCERE THANKS TO YOU WELL. THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY OR ABOUT CONFORMITY. INSTEAD IT'S ABOUT THIS YEAR THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE PAST ELECTION AND CONFORMITY, EXCUSE ME, THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE UPCOMING ELECTION, ANYTHING OF THE PRIOR ELECTION, THIS IS THIS MOMENT, THIS TIME, THIS YEAR, NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS. I'M NOT ENCOURAGING ANY HUTTO SHORTSIGHTED PLANNING GOING LONGER TERM PLANNING. 
          THE NEW COMPETENCY PLAN WILL BE PRESENTED TO COUNSEL IN DECEMBER IS MY UNDERSTANDING. SO PLEASE HEED THE WORDS OF THE CITIZENS OF HUTTO AND CONTINUE TO BECOME MORE OF A STEWARD THAT YOU TOOK AN OATH TO UPHOLD. THANK YOU. 
          I'M JIM MORSE. >> NEXT WE HAVE JAMES WEAVER. 
          >> GOOD EVENING COUNSEL MY NAME IS JAMES WEAVER AND OUTSPOKEN DUE TO PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETINGS ABOUT WHY WE NEED TO STICK WITH THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE. I HAVE EXPRESSED VALID REASONS WHY THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO OUR CITY AND OUR CITIZENS. 
          THIS WEEK WE HAD SEVERAL ITEMS COME TO LIGHT THAT FURTHER SUPPORT WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONVEY. 
          I'M GOING TO QUOTE OUR FED CHAIRMAN POWELL, I QUOTED THEM LAST WEEK AND I WILL STATE WHAT HE SAID, HE'S NOT GOING TO HAVE AN EASY LANDING BECAUSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN THE FEDS GOING TO TIGHTEN DOWN. HIS WORDS, NOT MINE. 
          THIS PAST MONDAY, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AGAIN USE 
          [01:00:06]
STATEMENTS FROM THE CHAIRMAN WHERE HE INDICATED THAT NEXT WEEK THE DISCOUNT RATE WILL PROBABLY BE INCREASED BY 75 BASIS POINTS. THAT'S THREE QUARTERS OF 8%. 
          THREE RATE INCREASES IN A TWO-MONTH PERIOD. 
          THAT'S BAD NEWS FOR BUSINESS COMMUNITY AS WELL AS CONSUMERS IN CITIES LIKE OURS. GOING TO MAKE THE RATE HIGHER FOR BUYING, HIGHER TO FLOAT THE BONDS AND INCREASE COST FOR BUILDERS AS WELL. I WILL SAY THAT A MAJOR MEGA SIZE BUSINESS PLAYER LIKE AMAZON, WALMART AND OTHERS HAVE SOME OF THE BEST ECONOMIST ON BOARD THAT ARE FULLY BRIEFED ON CURRENT TRENDS. MUCH MORE THAN THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY ARE HUTTO. BE AWARE WHEN THE BID CONGLOMERATES MAKE AGER MOVES IN THE MOST RECENT TRENDS, YOU BETTER LISTEN. THE MOST RECENT TRENDS, YO THESE GUYS DO NOT MAKE THOSE MOVES UNLESS THE ECONOMIC SUPPORT THEIR DECISIONS. AS OF THE 14TH, YESTERDAY SEPTEMBER CNBC CALL THAT AMAZON IS CLOSING CONSTRUCTION WAREHOUSES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AFTER THE PANDEMIC EXPANSION HAS RESULTED IN TOO MUCH SPACE. 
          EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN LAID OFF AT SOME FACILITIES, THEY HAVE CLOSED OR CANCELED 40 PLUS LOCATIONS AND DELAYED OPENING 25 OTHER SITES. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 THE AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN PROVIDED IN ARTICLE THIS FULLY SUPPORTS MY POSITION THAT THE TAX INCREASES FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES BASED ON INCREASE IN VALUATION ARE OVER $1000 IN TAX INCREASE PER UNIT, NON- HOMEOWNER UNIT. THESE ARE HOUSES, NOT APARTMENTS. ACOUNCILMAN PERSON KENZIE INDICATED THEY WOULD GO UP 20 A MONTH ON APARTMENTS. 
          RIDDLE ME THAT. WE HAVE MANY MORE PEOPLE THAT RENT HOMES, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE IN HUTTO THEN RENT APARTMENTS. SO THOSE INCREASED RATES PASSED DOWN BY THE RENTERS, BY THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY WILL BE VERY LARGE BURDEN FOR THE RENTERS TO HANDLE. 
          I COULD GO ONE FOR A LONG TIME ABOUT THE RATES ABOVE THE NNR BUT I WILL STOP NOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOOD TO DO ANY GOOD. 
          SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TRIED, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          >> THANKS SIR. >> NEXT WE HAVE RUDY PEREZ. 
          >> RUDY, HELLO CITY COUNCILMAN, CITY MANAGER. 
          COUNSEL STOP TICKING AROUND TO DO WITH THE CITIZENS WANT A PERSONAL VENDETTA IS AGAINST US ARE HURTING PEOPLE THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPRESENT. LIKE I TOLD YOU YOU TEAR UP THEIR BELONGINGS TO THE PEOPLE. SOME OF YOU ALL NEED TO GET YOUR PERSONAL STUFF IN ORDER AND WORK TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. 
          LIKE I SAID THE CITIZENS ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU AND MANY OF YOU KNOW THE MAJORITY IS BACK IN HUTTO DESERVES BETTER. 
          LIKE I SAID WE GONE THROUGH A LOT AND WE WANT THE BEST FOR HUTTO AND THAT WE LIVE IN A TOWN. 
          THANK YOU. >> NEXT WE HAVE IDA WEAVER. 
          >> THINK YOU ALL FOR COMING. GOOD EVENING I AM I TO WEAVER, A LOT OF YOU KNOW BE BY NOW, I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS HERE, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE BOYS, WHAT I AM DRAWING OUT OF IT. HUTTO HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL, WE ALL KNOW THAT. THEY'VE GONE THROUGH COVID, WHETHER IN NOW INFLATION. THE BEST IS YET TO COME, STAY THE COURSE, TIGHTEN YOUR BELTS, KEEP TAXES LOW, CURB SPENDING, BUILD RESERVES, PAY OFF DEBT, CONTINUE TO LIQUIDATE NONPRODUCING ASSETS. WE ARE A TIGHTLY WOUND SPRING, THE ENGINE HERE IS WELL UNDERSTAND POTENTIAL ENERGY. 
          WE HAVE IT, A LOT OF IT. DON'T WASTE IT. 
          DON'T WASTE CONTROL ON POOR PLANNING AND RECKLESS SPENDING 
          [01:05:05]
BECAUSE YOU WANT THIS AND YOU WANT THAT. 
          THE CITIZENS HERE DON'T AGREE WITH YOU. 
          WE WANT YOU TO GO STAY WITH THE BASICS. 
          IF WE DO THEN WE WILL POSITIONED TO REAP THE REWARDS OF A BRIGHT FUTURE, VOTE FOR THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. IF ANYONE OF YOU DOES NOT VOTE FOR THE NEW REVENUE, NO NEW REVENUE RATE, WE WILL REMEMBER. 
          THANK YOU. >> NEXT WE HAVE BOBBY VASQUEZ. 
          I ALWAYS MESS UP, AM I SAYING THAT RIGHT? 
          >> YES OR. >> GOOD EVENING I AM BOBBY VASQUEZ AMERICAN LEGION POST OF HUTTO. 
          ON SEPTEMBER 1 THE CITY COUNCIL TO SUPPORT COUNCIL MEMBERS CLARK, KINSEY AND SUTTON TO REJECT THE AGENCY FUNDING GRANT APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY POST 302. 
          WE UNDERSTAND THIS OUTCOME CANNOT BE CHANGED, COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY STATED SHE HOPES WE APPLY AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, HOWEVER, SO WE ARE BETTER PREPARED TO APPLY IN THE FUTURE WILL SENSE AS FOR CLARIFICATION ON A MANNER WHICH FUNDING IS DELIVERED TO GRANT RECIPIENTS. OUR FIRST REQUEST WAS MADE SEPTEMBER 9, TO DATE I HAVE MULTIPLE REQUESTS, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK, KINSEY OR SUTTON. 
          IN REJECTING HER APPLICATION, COUNCIL MEMBERS CLARK, KINSEY AND SUTTON NOTED, QUOTE UNQUOTE THIS IS A REIMBURSEMENT SCHEDULE EVERY QUARTER, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? GIVEN THAT NOWHERE IN HER APPLICATION DID WE STATE WE WERE SEEKING QUARTERLY REIMBURSEMENTS, THEY CAN ONLY BE INFERRED AT THE OAS AS A WORD IS ALL RECIPIENTS ON A QUARTERLY BASIS FOR REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES. WE WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WERE AWARDED ON A LUMP-SUM BASIS NOT BASED ON QUARTERLY REIMBURSEMENTS. IF THIS IS THE INTENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL WE BELIEVE IT WOULD'VE BEEN BENEFICIAL FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE INCLUDED THIS INFORMATION WITHIN THE APPLICATION DESCRIPTION. RATHER THAN HEARING ABOUT IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE MOMENT OF OUR REJECTION. 
          WE DID UNDERSTAND THAT IF AWARDED WE WOULD'VE HAD TO PROVIDE QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE REPORTS WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN POSSIBLE OF THE INITIAL PURCHASE OF THE ONGOING PROJECT WHICH SERVES OUR COMMUNITY VETERANS, MILITARY FAMILIES AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. IN ADDITION COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY STATED OUR DUFFEL BAG PROGRAM WAS A ONE-TIME EVENT, SHE MISREAD HER APPLICATION AS WE STATED THIS WAS AN ONGOING INITIATIVE, SHE ALSO STATED THAT WE WERE ASKING FOR A HANDOUT. 
          IN ADDITION TO SERVING HUTTO'S MILITARY FAMILIES WE LISTEN WITH AN APPLICATION, THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE SUPPORT OUR DUFFEL BAG INITIATIVE INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE SOUND BOSS AT MADISON PLACE, HUTTO ISD, WOMEN'S SHELTERS AND SENIOR LIVING CENTERS. IN OUR REQUEST WERE SEEKING ASSISTANCE WITH ASSISTANT PROGRAM JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER NONPROFITS AND WE DID NOT SEE IT AS ASKING FOR A HANDOUT. 
          LIKEWISE REJECTING HER APPLICATION COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK STATED WE SHOULD SIMPLY RENT THE TRUCK FREE OF CHARGE, HE OR ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER KNOWS OF A BUSINESS THAT WILL PROVIDE FREE UNLIMITED ACCESS TO A BOX TRUCK, WE WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO KNOW WHO. ONCE AGAIN WE REQUEST, THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME, CLARIFICATION ON A MANNER WHICH FUNDING IS EXACTLY DELIVERED TO AWAY F GRANT RECIPIENTS. 
          THE COURTESY OF A RESPONSE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. 
          THANK YOU. >> A POINT OF INFORMATION WAS THERE REQUEST SENT TO STAFF TO HELP ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS AS IT IS STAFF THAT ACCEPTS APPLICATION? 
          >> I WAS GOING TO ASK TO I DID E-MAIL THE CITY MANAGER. 
          >> I DO APOLOGIZE. >> I PROVIDED A REQUEST AND FURTHER DIRECTED THEM IF IT WAS NOT PART OF THE REIMBURSEMENT SCHEDULE THAT WE HAVE THAT TO THE APPLICATION GOING FORWARD. 
          >> YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES, THE QUARTERLY REIMBURSEMENT, WHAT IS 
          A PROCESS, DO YOU KNOW. >> MAYOR, COUNCIL, FOR THE RECORD THE QUARTERLY REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN A MATTER OF PRACTICE. I WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY POLICIES ESTABLISHED THE SAYS IT HAS TO BE AS SUCH. 
          HE SEEMS PRETTY EVIDENT TO REASON IT'S TIED QUARTERLY 
          [01:10:04]
BECAUSE THERE IS QUARTERLY REPORT FROM THE RECIPIENT OF THE REWARD AS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION AND MAKING SURE THAT THE MONEY IS BEING USED WITH THEIR SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR. 
          IT WOULD ALSO SEEMED LIKE A MATTER PRACTICE IT WAS DONE SO FOLKS WOULDN'T GET THEIR MONEY AND FRONT AND NOT DELIVER BECAUSE ONCE A HAPPENS IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET THE DOLLARS BACK. THERE IS NOT A POLICY THAT I CAN FIND THAT STATES THAT IT HAS TO BE QUARTERLY. 
          IT SEEMS TO BE THE WAY THAT HAS BEEN HANDLED VIA PRACTICE. 
          >> I KNOW IN THE PROCESS [INAUDIBLE] I KNEW CAPT RED PERSONALLY AND I WAS REALLY TORN BECAUSE WERE FACED WITH MAKING THESE DECISIONS BASED ON THE INFORMATION IN FRONT OF US AND I KNOW THAT WE ASKED STAFF TO GO BACK AND SEE HOW WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE VAN THAT WAS BOUGHT FOR THE SANDBOX AND HE CAME BACK AND IT WAS ALSO QUARTERLY HOW THAT WORKED OUT. 
          I DO APOLOGIZE MR. VAZQUEZ FOR NOT REPLYING TO YOUR E-MAIL. 
          WE JUST INSTITUTED THIS PROCESS BECAUSE WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE PREVIOUS YEARS OAF AND LACK OF INFORMATION AND NOT HAVING MORE WHEREVER FINE-TUNING IT, I APOLOGIZE I WOULD'VE HAVE BEEN IN THAT MEETING, IF THERE'S EXTRA FUNDS DEPENDING ON WHAT TAX RATE WE SEND OUT THAT WE COULD FUND SOMETHING AND THAT WAS MY RECOMMENDATION IN THE MEETING AND I DON'T KNOW THAT WE WILL HAVE EXTRA FUNDING BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE WITHIN THE 10%. 
          I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE THREE OF US ARE VERY TORN AND IT WAS A HARD DECISION TO MAKE. 
          IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE TOOK LIGHTLY. 
          WE DO WANT TO HELP. >> AND THEY DO POINT OF ORDER? 
          >> LET HER FINISH PLEASE. >> I'M GOOD. 
          >> NEXT WE HAVE MIKE FELLER. >> MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF.

          >> MAYOR SNYDER. >> AYE. 
          >> MOTION PASSES 7 - 0. NEXT WE HAVE 9.2 ON SOLUTION ARE DASHED 22-069. THE AMENDMENT OF THE BYLAWS OF 
          THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL FOR THE 
          DEVELOPMENT OF CORPORATION. >> JUST SO THE PUBLIC KIND OF UNDERSTANDS WHAT WERE DISCUSSING IN THE BYLAWS CAN YOU GIVE A QUICK SUMMARY OF WHAT THE CHANGES ARE GOING TO BE. 
          >> SURE. FOR PURPOSES OF THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING, WHAT WE HAD WAS SOME BYLAWS THAT HAD NOT BEEN PERFORMED CONSISTENT WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CODE AS WELL AS THE NONPROFIT CORPORATIONS ACT, WHAT WE DID WE 
          [01:15:02]
WENT THROUGH TYPE B ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BYLAWS AND THE TYPE A LAWS TO BE CONSISTENT AS WELL AS [INAUDIBLE] COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK WAS PULLED OVER SINCE HE WAS ELECTED COUNCIL. 
          IN THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT WERE ANTICIPATED WITH THE BOARD'S DECISION WOULD BE APPROPRIATE SO THAT INFORMATION IN THOSE ISSUES TO THE COUNCIL AT THE SAME TIME. THE ONLY MATERIAL CHANGE TO THAT PORTION ALSO WHY WE PREVIOUSLY MADE A CHANGE OR PROVE A CHANGE WE RE-CREATED THAT, WHICH IS THE REQUIREMENT CONFIDENTIALITY WITH MILLION AND POTENTIALLY MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR PROGRAM, WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS PRIOR BOARD MEMBERS THAT MAY HAVE DISCUSSED THINGS OUT OF ORDER, WHEN THAT HAPPENS IN WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TALKED ABOUT. 
          IN ORDER TO ENSURE THERE IS A GREATER LEVEL OF STABILITY FOR ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY PUT ADDITIONAL WITH REGARD TO THE RELEASE AND AN ELECTION FROM THE BOARD RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL IN THE EVENT OF CONFIDENTIAL 
          INFORMATION. >> SO HAS MS. CLARK VOTED ON 
          THIS TIME. >> YES, AS A HOLDOVER BECAUSE ONCE THE POSITION WAS IN CONFLICT, WE DID NOT HAVE A NEW PERSON TAKE THAT PLACE SO HE HAS CONTINUED TO SERVE IN THAT ROLE BY COUNSEL OR HIS LINES CON CONTINUE. 
          >> I'M TRYING TO THINK I WANT TO INTO THIS QUESTION. 
          IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT, LAST SUMMER IT WAS PRESENTED [INAUDIBLE] WE DO NOT HAVE A COUNCIL MEMBER ON THEIR AS A TEMPORARY FIX AN HOUR LOOKING INTO COUNCIL MEMBERS TO THE EDC BOARD. IT CONCERNS ME A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THERE COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON DEALS AND MAYBE CAMPAIGNING FOR YOUR SEE, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PERSONALLY ONLY ONE COUNCIL MEMBER SERVING. THERE IS A COUNCIL MEMBER PRESENT REPRESENTING THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE BOARD BUT WE DON'T HAVE AN OVERFLOW OF IMPLEMENTS FROM CITY COUNCIL ON THE BOARD AS WELL SINCE YOU OPERATE SEPARATELY. 
          THAT WAS SOMETHING I WANTED TO BRING OUT THAT I THINK MAYBE WE HAVE TERM LIMITS ON WHEN THE COUNCIL MEMBERS SITS ON THE ADC. 
          IN MY OPINION IT CAN BECOME A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. 
          >> THE FOUR-YEAR TERM FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEMBERS AS SET BY STATUTE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO MODIFY THAT TERM YOU WOULD HAVE TO ENTER ANY MODIFICATION WOULD NOT BE PRINTED BY STATUTE. THE SELECTION, ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION SERVE AT YOUR WILL ELECT FULLY THEY CAN BE REMOVED AND REPLACED ANYTIME THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WISHES TO DO SO, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. 
          IF THERE IS A CHANGE OUT ANNUALLY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVEN IF THERE IS A TWO-YEAR TERM, THEN IT WOULD BE IN THE DISCRETION OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE THAT CHANGE. 
          REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE BYLAWS SAY. 
          BECAUSE YOUR STATUTORY AUTHORITY IS TO POINT AND REMOVE AT WILL WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE A REASON. SO ADOPTING WILL PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE TWO OCCUR IN WITH THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY VOTED 
          [01:20:05]
FOR THE JULY BASIS, THE POLICY DECISION, BUT IS VERY PROBABLE OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS THAT THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION MAY HAVE AVAILABLE TO IT WILL EXCEED THE BUDGET OF THE CITY. IF THERE WAS THAT MUCH MONEY BEEN INVOLVED, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TO IMPROVE EVERY BUDGET THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DOES IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE YOUR LEVEL OF CITY COUNCIL INVOLVEMENT IN THE EXPENDITURE DECISIONS MADE ON THE MONEY. 
          THAT WAS A PRINCIPAL ISSUE THAT WAS DISCUSSED BY THE BOARD THIS IS A POLICY ISSUE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL AND THERE IS JUST A LEGAL ISSUE AND HOW THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BOARD HAS REQUESTED FOR THE 
          BYLAWS. >> WITH THE REQUEST FOR THE SECOND COUNCIL MEMBER, IS THAT BECAUSE THERE IS CONCERN THAT WE CAN FIND SOMEONE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WOULD WANT TO SERVE ON THE BOARD OR IS IT MORE CONVENIENT TO ADD ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER SINCE MR. CLARK WAS EARLY SERVING ON THE BOARD. 
          >> WITHOUT HAVING TO SPECULATE AS TO WHY EACH INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER VOTED THE WAY THAT THEY DID, ALL I CAN SAY IS WHAT WAS SPOKEN AND WHAT WAS DISCUSSED IN THE SHAKING OF HANDS IN THE APPROVAL. AND THERE IT APPEARED THIS WAS AN ISSUE FROM A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE PAST TO HAVE ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER INVOLVED WOULD BE A CONSERVATIVE METHOD TO ENSURE THAT THOSE TAX DOLLARS AND I GUESS PROCEEDS FROM SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2011 WHEN WE STARTED THE MEGA SITE THAT THERE'S A GREATER LEVEL OF COUNSEL CONTROL OVER THE TYPES OF PROJECTS. 
          OBVIOUSLY TO MEMBERS DOES NOT CREATE A QUORUM OR NOR DOES IT APPROVE THE PROJECT, THEY STILL WOULD NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF CONTROL AUTHORITY AT THE BOARD. IN THE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE LARGE PROJECTS, THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHEN THEY HAVE BEHIND-THE-SCENES EXECUTIVE SESSIONS SO YOU ARE UP TO CODE. AS WE ALL KNOW G TO COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL AGREE OR DISAGREE. IT GIVES THAT GREATER ACCESS TO THE COUNCIL. THAT WAS THE REASON THAT I UNDERSTOOD THE BOARD VOTED THE WAY THEY DID. 
          >> THERE IS ONE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO STIPULATE ON THAT LIGHT CAME UP TO THE OTHER THING THE BOARD CHAIRMAN THAT NO COUNCIL MEMBER CAN SERVE IN THE CORPORATION HAVE ANY SIGNATURE AUTHORITY WHICH MEANS YOU CAN SIGN CHECKS, YOU CANNOT APPROVE TRAVEL, NONE OF THAT STUFF ALL OF THAT WILL STAY CITIZEN CONTROLLED 100%. THAT WAS THE OTHER, BEING MINDFUL OF THINGS IN THE PAST OR WHATEVER, THAT WAS THE OTHER THING THERE IS NO LEADERSHIP ON THE EDC FROM A COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          >> THEY ARE ONLY ELIGIBLE TO BE A DIRECTOR, NOT AN OFFICER. 
          AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SIGNATURE AUTHORITY. 
          THE OPERATION WILL BE THROUGH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE CHAIR AND TREASURERS, THE OFFICERS RATHER THAN THE COUNCIL 
          MEMBERS. >> THAT WAS ACTUALLY IN THERE ALREADY SO WE INCLUDED IN BUILT IT UP MORE BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL COUNCIL MEMBER BEING ON THE. 
          >> I HAVE A QUESTION AS WELL, SPEAKING TO THE LACK OF INTEREST LAST YEAR SOMETIME OR PREVIOUS YEAR END HALF OF GETTING MEMBERS ON THE BOARD. ACCORDING TO STATE STATUTE THE BOARD SHALL CONSIST OF AT LEAST FIVE, WE ARE AT SEVEN SO MAYBE THE EDC SUGGEST OR STAY AT THE LIMIT OF FIVE THAT THE STATE IS 
          PUT INTO. >> THAT IS NOT CORRECT, CHAPTER 505 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE PROVIDES OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. IT HAS SOME BACKWARDS LANGUAGE 
          AS TO HOW MANY CAN SERVE. >> OF COURSE IT SAYS AT LEAST FIVE BUT DUE TO THE LACK OF INFORMATION, WHAT I LOOKED UP LAST NIGHT IT SAID IN THE CODE AT LEAST FIVE, OF COURSE YOU CAN ATTEND IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT OF COURSE THE LACK OF INTEREST IN ACTIVITY AND HAD A IF WE HAD THE INTEREST TO GET IT TO AT LEAST 
          [01:25:17]
FIVE WHAT WE HAVE FOUND WITH THE SUCCESS THE BOARD IS HAD, THERE'S A NUMBER OF IN A VARIETY OF PROFESSIONALS IN REAL ESTATE, FINANCES, BANKING AND THAT COMBINATION OF GROUP HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN BEING ABLE TO EVALUATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPER PROJECTS WHICH CAN BECOME VERY COMPLEX ESPECIALLY IN THE LARGER DOLLAR NUMBERS INFORMATION PERSONALLY I BEEN DOING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WORK SINCE 2001 AND I'VE NOT SEEN A BOARD LESS THAN SEVEN. IT MAY BE JUST KIND OF THE WAY THAT IT'S BEEN DONE FOR 20 YEARS AT LEAST THROUGHOUT TEXAS AND ALSO SINCE IT MIRRORS YOUR BOARD, CENTRUM SEVEN COUNCIL MEMBERS PREVIOUSLY, AT LEAST IN THE CITY OF HUTTO, THERE WAS DIFFERENT METHODS OF WHICH PEOPLE SELECTED, EACH COUNCIL MEMBER HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO NOMINATE A PERSON OF THEIR CHOICE FOR THEIR PERSON TO BE ON THE BOARD. 
          THAT IS NOT HOW YOU'RE DOING IT NOW BUT THOSE ARE ALL OF THE REASONS THAT I BELIEVE IT IS BEEN SEVEN AND I WAS ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL AS FIRST 2011 AND IS BEEN SETTLED 
          FOR THOSE 11 YEARS. >> GEORGE, WOULDN'T BE IN THE ARTICLE OF INCORPORATION THAT IT IS SEVEN THERE AND THEN THE 
          BYLAWS? >> YES ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION ARE CONTROLLED THE COUNCIL BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO AMEND THE ARTICLES AND THEN AMEND THE BYLAWS. 
          >> THEY HAVE TWO GOVERNING DOCUMENTS. 
          >> I WILL SAY SIX FOR A WHILE I DID GET APPOINTED AND I BELIEVE 3.6 HE NEVER APPOINTED IN THE SHOT CLOCK RAN OUT WHEN THE MAYOR WAS ABLE TO APPOINT, I BELIEVE IT ENDED UP BEING HIMSELF. WHEN I CAME ON HIS PLACE FIVE I APPOINTED COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK READ THERE WERE SEVERAL MONTHS WHERE IT WAS NOT SEVEN MEMBERS JUST FOR MY RECOLLECTION. 
          MAYBE THAT IS A NUMBER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SOMEONE APPEAR CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT THERE HAS DEFINITELY BEEN PERIODS WHEN THERE HAS NOT BEEN SEVEN PEOPLE SERVING. 
          >> SURE AS VACANCIES OCCUR ON ALL OF YOUR BOARDS AND EVEN ON THE COUNCIL, THAT'S WHERE THOSE CHANGES ARE MADE. 
          >> I THINK THAT'S MAYBE WHAT HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOMETIMES IS THOSE PERIODS WHERE YOU DO MAYBE HAVE FIVE OR SIX AND I THINK WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO SAY, OPENING UP TO THE PUBLIC TO SEE IF THERE MAY BE IS INTEREST FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO COME ABOARD SO IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A COUNCIL MEMBER, IS THAT 
          ACCURATE? >> YEAH. 
          >> IF THERE WAS INTEREST IN CHANGING THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO ADD MORE SEASON BOARD MEMBERS OR SO FORTH THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT AG AGENDA ITEM. 
          >> NO, I THINK WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IF WE AGREE TO APPROVE ALL THOSE CHANGES OR IF WE SAY NO WERE GOING TO KEEP IT AT THE ONE AND WE CAN DECIDE WHETHER IT WOULD BE THE MAYOR COUNCIL CL CLARK, AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE'S GETTING OUT IF WE KEEP IT AT ONE COUNCIL MEMBER HOW IT'S WRITTEN WORK TO OPEN IT UP TO TWO AS WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING FOR YOUR AMENDMENT I 
          THINK IS WHAT YOUR SAYING. >> YEAH WHAT THE BOARD VOTED 
          FOR. >> I HAVE AN OPINION ON IT BUT I'M KIND OF INTERESTED, I HEARD A LITTLE BIT FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK. SINCE YOU TWO ARE ON EDC I KNOW THE MAYOR HAD SOME CONFLICTING THINGS OVER THE YEARS ON HIS POSITION ON EDC AND COUNCIL MEMBERS JUST IF YOU CAN ELABORATE ON THAT WHETHER YOU'RE IN SUPPORT OF THE TWO OR ONE OR 
          THOUGHT PROCESS ON THAT. >> SURE, MY PERSONAL OPINION, THERE SHOULD BE THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THE AED C, I AM ONE OF SEVEN BOATS. WHEN I DID RUN FIRST FOR OFFICE THREE YEARS AGO, AT THE TIME THAT A COUNCIL MEMBER THAT RESIGNED INTO POSITION FOR THE EDC, THAT WAS UNDER THE WATCH OF WHAT I FELT WAS CORRUPT BODY OF COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          AT THAT POINT I TOOK A PRETTY STRONG STANCE THAT WOULD NOTHING GETTING DONE AT THAT POINT TIME, NOTHING WAS GETTING DONE IN THE CITY THEY WERE TAKING TAX MONEY AND SPENDING IT ON TRIPS AND 
          [01:30:05]
SALARIES. SO I DID SUPPORT TAKING ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS OFF, I WAS A MINORITY ON THE CITY COUNCIL AND THEN PROBABLY I WOULD SAY AROUND MID 2020 I WOULD CALL A REVAMP OF THE D.C., WE STARTED PULLING PEOPLE OFF ONE BY ONE EACH TIME YOU PULL A PERSON OFF IT'S A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE IT IS ALL PERSONAL AND PETTY. BUT WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO AT THAT POINT, MY OPINION, WE HAD SEVEN PEOPLE ON THEIR THAT WERE GOOD PEOPLE THAT LACK THE EXPERIENCE LEVEL NEEDED TO HANDLE SOME OF THE MULTI-BILLION HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR DEALS WE ARE LOOKING FOR. WHAT WE SOLELY DID, AS PEOPLE CAME UP, WE WERE LOOKING AND SOUGHT OUT CERTAIN PEOPLE, SOMEONE WITH A BANKING EXPERIENCE, WE HAD A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE EXPERIENCE. WE HAD A PERSON WHO WAS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER AND IT SERVED ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND SPOKE DIFFERENTLY WHICH IS. 
          ONE OF THEM WHICH WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL RIGHT NOW, KOREAN. 
          WE WENT THERE AND STARTED PUTTING PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE, TRYING TO BUILD A BOARD THAT CAN PROVIDE IN SOME OF OUR OPINIONS OF THE CITY OF HUTTO WITH A LEVEL OF EXPERTISE AND USES TAX DOLLARS VERY EFFECTIVELY. TO WHAT GEORGE SAID, NOW IS HAPPEN, COMING UP VERY SOON THE EDC WILL VERY LIKELY HAVE A BIGGER BUDGET AND MORE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AT THEIR DISPOSAL LIKE THE CITY OF HUTTO DOES. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT THE CITY CAN DO THAT THE CITY CAN. WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH A BIDDING PROCESS TO SELECT SOMEONE TO ENGINEER A BILLION-DOLLAR ROW, THE EDC CAN JUST PICK SOMEBODY, THERE IS NO BIDDING PROCESS. 
          WHEN I BROUGHT THIS UP A THE COUNCIL THE CITY MANAGER TO HAVE SOME INPUT FROM THE CITY COUNCIL, SOME GATEWAY TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT THESE ARE THINGS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL IS DOING IN BRIDGE THAT GAP. A LOT OF THE BIG ENTER BIGGER CITIES HAVE 2 - 3 COUNCIL MEMBERS, ROUND ROCK IN GEORGETOWN, SOME VERY SUCCESSFUL CITIES HAVE A STATUE LIMIT OF COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THE EDC. I'M NOT ONE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL ON GREAT IDEAS. IF I SEE SOME CITIES OPERATING VERY EFFECTIVELY IN DOING A VERY GOOD JOB, I START TALKING TO THE MAYORS, WOULD YOU GUYS DO. WE HAVE CITY COUNCIL THAT SITS ON THERE TO BE ON THE BRIDGE AND MAKE DECISIONS AND GET THINGS GOING QUICKER. THAT'S WHAT LED IT THERE WAS A CONFUSION THERE IS NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE APPLYING. 
          I THINK EVERY BOARD HAS EXTRA PEOPLE THAT HAVE APPLIED IN PEOPLE THEY DIDN'T. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THERE WAS AN OPENING IN A MONTH AND A HALF INSANE I THINK WE OUGHT TO PUT COUNCIL MEMBER ON THEIR. AS EVERYBODY KNOWS I GET IMPATIENT. IF HER EQUITY DO THAT WILL RUN THE RISK OF ME NOMINATING MYSELF AND GOING THROUGH THAT. 
          THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I THINK IN MY MEMORY LED TO IT. 
          BUT I WOULD SUPPORT THREE PEOPLE, THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THERE BECAUSE THE EC DID APPROVE AN ECONOMIC DEAL WHERE THEY SAID THEY'D PUT 20 MILLION-DOLLAR ROAD. 
          I THINK IT'S GREAT, WE HAVE A LOT OF STUFF COMING BUT WITHOUT BRINGS A LEVEL OF ACTION THE ADCS GOING TO HAVE TO DO THAT THE CITY COUNCIL -- WHY THIS IS HIS RESPONSIBILITY. 
          HAVING CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THAT, WHOEVER THEY MAY BE IS BENEFICIAL. THE MAYOR PRO TEM IS FREQUENTLY AT OUR MEETINGS. COUNCIL MEMBER SZABO FROM TIME TO TIME. IT'S ALWAYS OPEN SOMETIMES WE SOLICIT YOUR INPUT, WE DON'T SIT IN THE CORNER AND KEEP QUIET. 
          >> HE USUALLY SIT IN THE CORNER AND KEEP QUIET. 
          >> IT IS ALWAYS OPEN. >> TAKE YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHT, I APPRECIATE THAT. WE WILL TAKE A FULL LOOK AT IT IF YOU WILL AND AS THE CITY CONTINUES TO GROW IN THE BUDGET 
          OF THE EDC CONTINUES TO GROW. >> IF YOU MAY I WANT TO CORRECT, THE MAYOR DID BRING UP THAT WHEN WE STARTED DEALING WITH PROJECTS THAT WERE GOING TO BE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT, THAT WAS BEFORE COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK PUT IN HIS BID FOR A POSITION OF THE 
          [01:35:08]
COUNCIL. THE IDEA OF HAVING MORE PEOPLE ON COUNCIL OCCUR BEFORE THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER COME ON. IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE MONEY. 
          >> YOU ALL KNOW HOW I GET ABOUT MONEY. 
          >> WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE SEVEN MEMBERS, I THINK ABOUT BOTH THE EXAMPLES YOU BROUGHT UP WERE WEAKNESSES IN OUR NOMINATING PROCEDURE. EITHER YOU HAVE ONE PERSON UNWILLING TO APPOINT SOMEBODY OR AN OPEN SEAT WHERE THERE'S NOBODY ABLE TO APPOINT SOMEBODY. THE SYSTEM WE HAVE NOW WE HAVE THREE PEOPLE AND WHEN THERE ARE NO OPEN SEATS WE CAN GO AND LOOK. WE'VE HAD OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS WERE INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS DID NOT APPOINT ANYONE. IF YOU LOOK THERE WERE MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS AND USE ALL THOSE CASES AND I SPOKE TO THEM AND THEY HAD NOT BEEN CONTRACTED YET. 
          I THINK OUR CURRENT SYSTEM IS BETTER AND WE HAVE A BALANCED WHERE IT ROTATES YEAR-TO-YEAR. IT'S NOT THE SAME TWO PEOPLE EVERY YEAR, IT'LL BOUNCE BACK BACK-AND-FORTH YEAR-TO-YEAR. 
          SO I THINK THE PROBLEM HAS LARGELY BEEN SOLVED. 
          >> I AGREE. I WAS JUST IN THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SEVEN PEOPLE, THAT WAS KIND OF THE POINT I WAS GETTING. 
          >> I WAS ON THE BOARD FOR SEVEN YEARS AND THERE WAS OPENING, THAT'S ONE OF THE BOARDS IS USUALLY NOT THAT HARD TO FIND PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE ON IT BECAUSE YOU'RE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT DEALS I HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON THE CITY IN THE FUTURE. 
          ANOTHER THING I WAS VERY MUCH AGAINST COUNCIL MEMBERS AND I THINK FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THAT WAS VERY MUCH A REACTION TO THE PAST AND NOT WANTING THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST TO BE REPEATED AND AS YOU REMIND US QUITE OFTEN WE ALSO NEED TO LOOK TO THE FUTURE AND YOU WRITE THINGS FOR THE FUTURE. 
          WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY, BACK THEN THE EC WAS TALKING ABOUT CLOSE TO $1 MILLION IN BUDGET. NOW IT'S CLOSER TO 2 MILLION-IS THE SALES TAX BUDGET, IF YOU LOOK AT THE LANDHOLDINGS OF THE DEALS THAT ARE GOING ON IT'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE TO A MUCH LARGER AMOUNT. THAT IS AN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT ULTIMATELY THE COUNCIL HAS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. 
          I DON'T WANT TO CITY COUNCIL TO GOING AND RUN THE EDC [INAUDIBLE]. I THINK WE DO NEED TO HAVE BETTER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US [INAUDIBLE]. 
          I THINK COUNCIL MEMBERS TO BE ENCOURAGE MAKE SOME SENSE. 
          >> I BELIEVE THE EDC WAS VOLUNTEER [INAUDIBLE] 
          >> NOT TO GET OFF ON THE ISSUE. BRINGS PHENOMENAL ABILITY AS WE ALL SAW THE LAST MEETING HIS AFFINITY FOR NUMBERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THERE BEING TWO. I DO LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER SUTTON'S IDEA OF MAYBE HAVING EVERY OTHER YEAR, HE ROTATES, MAYBE NOT EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER WANTS TO BE ON ABOUT MAYBE SOME SORT OF STATUTE OF NUMBER OF YEARS. 
          BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD TO HAVE TWO OR THREE AT THAT POINT BECAUSE THEN IS NOT NECESSARILY ONE, WITH THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBER COMES UP, THEY HAVE SO MUCH TO GAIN AND TO CATCH UP ON. IF YOU REALLY HAVE A SOLID OTHER ONE OR TWO THAT THEY CAN KIND OF ROTATE IN, THAT I THINK WE KIND OF MAKE THE MOST SENSE. JUST MY POINT OF VIEW. 
          >> BECAUSE OF ALL THE OTHER CHANGES THAT ARE HERE, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT YOU ADOPT THESE AS THEY ARE. 
          IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT STAGGERED TERMS FOR INSTANCE. 
          THERE MAY BE OTHER WAYS THAT WE CAN MODIFY THE TERM SO THAT THERE STAGGERED IN A WAY THAT YOU HAVE A COUNCIL MEMBER ON FOR TWO YEARS, THEN THE NEXT ONE COMES ON ONE YEAR AT THAT POINT. 
          SO WITHOUT ONE GOES OFF ANOTHER ONE COMES IN. 
          THAT WAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE A SHIFT BUT YOU'RE NOT LOSING THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE THAT IS COMING THROUGH. 
          >> I WOULD SAY IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO THAT ROUTE YOU HAVE TO GO TO THREE AND IT WOULD NOT BE THROUGH THE ELECTED TIME PERIOD. 
          THE LAST THING YOU WOULD WANT IS SOMEONE TO NOT GET REELECTED IN THERE ON THE EDC, THERE IS A WHOLE ISSUE, A CHANGEOVER ON VOTING SO THERE IS A WHOLE OTHER HOST OF ISSUES WHEN YOU START TRYING TO SAY THIS PERSON NEEDS TO ROTATE OUT. 
          IT'S A VERY COMPLEX THING AND WERE NOT GOING TO SOLVE IT TONIGHT READ I WOULD SAY WE SHOULD ADOPT THIS AS IT IS AND 
          [01:40:04]
PROBABLY NEED TO HAVE A WORK SESSION TO TALK ABOUT IT. 
          I WILL SAY THE OTHER PART ALL THE OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS IF SOMETHING COMES UP, YOU TALK ABOUT THIS ONE ITEM AND VOTE ON IT, IT'S GONE WERE TALKING ABOUT DEALS THAT ARE MULTIYEAR AS WELL. IT'S NOT EVEN -- IT'S ALMOST HOLISTICALLY THE ETCS A GOOD BOARD RUNNING FOR MULTIPLE YEARS OF THE SAME BOARD ALLOWS YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE THIS DEAL AND THIS IS WHY WE APPROVE THIS ONE AND WE KNOW WERE GOING TO BUILD THIS ROAD OR WHATEVER. BUT I WOULD SAY AYE WOULD ENCOURAGE WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE TIME WERE WE LOOK AT A JOINT SESSION LIKE EVERY OTHER MONTH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT OR A MEETING WHERE THE COUNCIL THE EDC IS TOGETHER. 
          >> I KNOW WE MENTIONED DOING A WORKSHOP WITH EDC IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR BUDGET TALKS. TONIGHT WERE GOING TO IN THAT SO TONIGHT WE PICKUP AND ACTUALLY DO THAT IN THE INFORMATION BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT WORKSHOP EVENT. 
          WITH SOME OF THESE CHANGES THEY ARE UNFAMILIAR UNCHARTED WATER TO ME. SO I NEEDED MORE INFORMATION AND THE ROLE THAT THEY PLAY AND HOW THAT ALIGNS WITH THE CITY. 
          I APPRECIATED THAT WORKSHOP PRIOR TO SEEING THESE CHANGES. 
          >> WORKING FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT, ANYTIME THERE IS AN ECONOMIC ISSUE THAT I MAY BE OF HELP TO YOU, PLEASE CALL ME AND I'LL BE MORE HAPPY TO EXPLAIN. I WANT TO WRITE WHAT TIME IT IS ON-SITE HOW TO [INAUDIBLE]. THIS IS SOMETHING TO HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE DONE WITH CERTAIN STRATEGY IN MIND THAT SOMEONE WHO IS NOT IN THE POSITION OF THE STRATEGY MAY NOT SEE THE DEAL IN DISCUSSIONS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AT BOARD MEETINGS I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THE BOARD WOULD ENCOURAGE THEY WOULD REALLY LOVE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS. 
          >> I WILL SAY WITH THE MEMBERS [INAUDIBLE] WILL. 
          >> IS PRESENTED WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? HEARING ON, PLEASE CALL THE R ROLL.

          OUR RATES WENT UP HIGHER, AS INDICATED PREVIOUSLY I EXPECTED US TO HAVE THOSE BEEN THROUGH WHAT OUR NATIONAL INDEX ARE. 
          THE RESULT OF THIS WE HAVE AN INTEREST COST OF 41 MILLION, 166,000 PER YEAR. A LEVEL DEBT SERVICE TRANSACTION PLAIN BUT SIMPLE TAX RATE FOR THIS AND ALL THE ITEMS THAT NEXT YEAR WILL BE 14.81 WHICH IS ACTUALLY A DECREASE [INAUDIBLE]. 
          THE GOOD NEWS IS OUR CREATIVITY 965,000, THIS IS PAID BY THE INVESTOR, NET PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE 4.6 MILLION WILL PAY THE COST OF ISSUANCE OF $25 BILLION INTO THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION FUND. PLUS SOME. 
          IT WAS A COMPETITIVE BID OF 20 FIGURE AMORTIZATION. 
          WE RECEIVED A BID THAT SHOWS YOU HOW EFFICIENT THE MARKET IS, THE TOTAL SPREAD OF SEVEN BASIS POINTS. 
          IN ONE BASIS POINTS DIFFERENT THAN THE BIDDING. 
          THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE TYPICAL SUSPECTS. 
          [01:50:02]
WE HAD FOUR SALES AREAS THIS WEEK. 
          THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT WE SEE THAT ARE THE DOMINANT BIDDERS AND BUYERS OF CITIES OF OUR QUALITY OF THE SIZE OF TEXAS. 
          THIS IS THE SOURCE AND USES OF THE FINAL NUMBERS AS I INDICATED 24.7. THEY ALSO WILL PAY A PREMIUM AT CLOSING. THE $25 MILLION IN THE BANK, THIS IS ACTUAL DEBT SERVICE. WHAT IS A BOND PREMIUM BEING, THE PAIN IS A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY 
          TO BUY 25 MILLION IN BONDS? >> THE POINT BEING THE 4.27% PREMIUM BID. IF WE WERE LOOKING AT A POWER BIDDING ONLY ONE TO RECEIVE [INAUDIBLE] AND MIGHT ONLY BEEN 4.21%, THEY PAY A SLIGHTLY MORE RATE TO ACTUALLY RECEIVE OUR BONDS. IT WAS ACTUALLY THE BIDDERS OPTIONS HOW THEY DID THIS. YES, THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO GIVE US 25 BASIS POINTS FOR CLOSING. 
          >> KIND OF LIKE BUYING A POINT, THEY'RE PAYING EXTRA TO GET A HIGHER RATE, HIGHER INTEREST RATE, THEY ARE PAYING UPFRONT. 
          SO THE EFFECT ON THAT WAS ALL MOST A QUARTER POINT? 
          >> THE EFFECT ON THAT MIGHT'VE BEEN 22 BASIS POINTS. 
          >> IF YOU WERE AT 3.93 IN JULY, 34 BASIS POINTS, BACKED OUT 22 BASIS POINTS, THAT'S TO SAY POSSIBLY ALL THE INTEREST RATES WENT UP OVER THE SUMMER IN THE FALL, THAT AFFECT -- 
          >> THAT'S A REALLY GOOD CATCH, WE BID DISCOUNT BONDS AND WE SHOW IN AUGUST, YOU'RE RIGHT, THEY INCREASE OUR INTEREST RATE IS EVEN LESS TO TAKE FROM THE 34 BASIS POINTS, SHOP 22 IS ABOUT 12 BASIS POINTS. IT'S EVEN LESS. 
          WE BID THESE BONDS WITH FLEXIBILITY WERE BIDDERS CAN ACTUALLY SELL BID PREMIUM OR CAN BID DISCOUNT. 
          THE GOAL IS TO GET US LOWEST TOTAL PRINCIPAL INTEREST ON A TRANSACTION. THE UNIQUE ASPECT AND RISING INTEREST RATES, THE HIGHER THE COUPON, THE MORE PROTECTED THEY ARE IN A MARKET. IF YOU TAKE TWO BONDS, ONE THAT HAD A 4.27%, 3% WAS SOLD AT A DISCOUNT. 
          THE AVERAGE MARKET IS LESS FOR THE PREMIUM HIGHER PRICE POINT OF THE BONDS. RIGHT NOW BRAD DISCOUNT MARKET AND WE ARE AT A DECLINING MARKET, PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO PAY A THOUSAND DOLLAR BOND FOR $400,095, IT'S GOT TO STAY NICE. 
          INVESTORS NO THAT WERE AN UPWARD MARKET IN THIS MARKET IS BIGGER. 
          SO WE WOULD LIKE TO BID A PRIMARY DISCOUNT, AND BEING A PREMIUM. THE STRUCTURE IS REALLY GOOD. 
          IF WE LEVEL THE STRUCTURE, THE REAL IMPORTANT PART IS WE WERE TRYING TO LOOK AT THE CITY INDICATED THAT HE DID NOT WANT TO GO [INAUDIBLE] AT A PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING. 
          $25 MILLION AND YOU WANT TO PAY NO MORE THAN 14.881 IS WHAT WILL BE LEVELED UNDER LEVY NEXT YEAR. THERE WERE ANY TRICKS OR SHENANIGANS. BASED ON YOUR EXISTING DEBT IN THE CONSERVATIVE ASSUMPTIONS. IF YOU DIDN'T ISSUE THAT AND WE GREW IT WOULD BE LESS GOING FORWARD. 
          I WANTED TO SEE THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE SCENARIO AND MATCHES. IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, ALL THE ISSUES HAVE TO BE A REVIEWED AND APPROVED. 
          IF YOU CONSIDER AND APPROVE IT AND EXECUTE THE DOCUMENTS, 15 WORKING DAYS FOR THEM TO REVIEW AND APPROVE I WENT INTO MORE DETAIL BECAUSE ANOTHER IMPORTANT TO THE CITY. 
          WE PUT THE OFFERING DOCUMENT TOGETHER, A LOT OF WORK, IT'S A 
          [01:55:29]
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THEM. IN AUGUST ON ONGOING BASIS, WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL. THAT IS MY FORMAL COMMENTS AND I 
          WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL? 
          >> HEARING ON, WILL ENTERTAIN THE MOTION. 
          >> DID YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT YOU SIGNED UP? 
          >> MIKE, I APOLOGIZE. THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME. 
          [INAUDIBLE] >> GOOD EVENING, THE REASON I WANTED TO SPEAK [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE HISTORY. IT SPELLS OUT TO BE ACCOMPLISHED, WE WERE TOLD AT THE TIME OF PROPOSING THE BOND ELECTION THAT THE FREIGHT PROJECT WOULD BE PART OF THAT. 
          AND IT WAS MADE EMINENTLY CLEAR IT WOULD BE A PRIORITY AND WE 
          SPENT A. >> WHEN WE ALREADY SPENT A QUARTER I PAIR. THIS TO TALK ABOUT THE BOND 
          [02:01:32]
RATINGS. THE CITY'S BOND RATING SPECIFICALLY. IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE LAST COUPLE YEARS HAVE BEEN ABOUT STABILIZING AND PUTTING US, WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBERS ALSO AND I THOUGHT THEY WOULD FIND THE BOND RATINGS DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. WHY DO YOU STRIVE FOR BOND RATINGS. PERIOD HAVE MULTIPLE PAGE BY STATION, HERE IS WHY BOND RATINGS ARE IMPORTANT. 
          TO CONTINUE THE COST ISSUE. I KNOW INVESTORS TAKE AN INDEPENDENT LOOK BUT AGAIN YOU COMPETE AGAINST OTHER ASSETS WHEN THEY MAKE THOSE INVESTMENTS AND THEY LOOK AT WHAT YOUR READINESS AND THAT READING IS THE INTEREST COST, THREE MAJOR RATING COMPANIES IN THE LONG RELATIONSHIP. 
          >> A FEW TIMES AND SAY WHICH READINGS WE SHOULD BE WORKING 
          WITH. >> WE DISCUSSED ADDING ANOTHER ONE BUT IN USING OUR EXPERIENCE TO S&P AND MOODY'S. 
          WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT IS LIKELY TO FALL THE INFORMATION ABIDE OR SELL BUT IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO THE LIKELIHOOD AA IS CONSIDERED HIGH CATEGORY AND WILL TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          THE CRITERIA THAT THEY USE, THESE ARE THE SAME CATEGORIES OF CRITERIA OF THE TAX REVENUE BOND, THE WATER SEWER BOND, TRAGIC FINANCE, WHAT IS THE ECONOMY, STRUCTURE IN THE COVENANTS IN THE DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS AND PRACTICES. 
          I WILL TELL YOU IN MY CAREER, I HAVE ALWAYS AS AN EXPENSE BELIEVED IT BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN EMPHASIZED IN THE PANDEMIC, ALL OF THIS THEY MANAGED IMPORTANT. THEY SAID AS COVID AND REVENUES WERE IMPACTED, THE BIGGEST DETERMINATION NEVER REALLY CHALLENGED WAS MANAGEMENT. PRAY CHALLENGES AND DECLINES IN REVENUES AND ADJUSTMENTS, THE ALSO FOCUS HEAVILY WITH EVERYONE IS FACING THE RISING COST AND POTENTIALLY IN DECLINING REVENUES. A SECONDLY ALONG THOSE LINES, THE ABILITY TO CONSERVATIVELY BUDGET AND CONSISTENTLY EXCEED THOSE BUDGETS ON POSITIVE IF WE HAVE GOOD MANAGEMENT WE BUDGET APPROPRIATELY WHICH RESULTS IN THE THIRD ITEM THAT WE BECAME CASH BALANCES. NEGATIVE OPERATIONAL COSTS THAT 
          [02:05:01]
DRAIN THE ACCOUNT. I'M PROUD TO SAY BY THE TIME THAT I CAME IN, THE FIRST THING I DID WITH THE CITY WAS WORK WITH THE STAFF AND COME UP WITH A PLAN IN GENERAL BENCHMARKS WITHIN TO THREE YEARS, GET BACK AND YOT DOWNGRADED. I'LL SHOW YOU A SIGNIFICANT COST OF BEING DOWNGRADED BY CAPITAL. PLEASE SAY THAT EARLIER THIS YEAR RATINGS WERE CONFIRMED AND WE WERE CONFIRMED THAT THIS RATING WAS MORE POSITIVE. IT IS BECAUSE MANAGEMENT HAS DEMONSTRATED EXCELLENT IN THEIR ABILITY AND NEW POLICIES AND PROCEDURES IN PLACE AND USED ELECTED OFFICIALS WITH INVOLVEMENT AND TRANSPARENCY IN YOUR BUDGETING WHAT YOU HAVE ACTUALLY DONE TO TAKE HARD STEPS. 
          WERE IN A BETTER FINANCIAL POSITION THAN EVER GOING FORWARD. IT CLEARLY INDICATES THE RATING THAT IS A MATTER OF TIME. HERBOLOGY ACTUALLY JUSTIFIES A HIGH RATING. ONE OF MY PET PEEVES, MORE CONSISTENCY BUT I EXPECT THAT WE WILL GO UP. 
          THE PAGE SHOWS THE RATINGS AND AA THE SECOND HIGHEST CATEGORY OF TEXAS IS RATED AA PLUS IN THE SAME GENERAL CATEGORY THAT WE ARE. THE HIGHEST RATING IS A AAA. 
          IN THE RATING CATEGORIES PLUS OR MINUS DETERMINE WHERE WE ARE IN THE RATING CATEGORY, AS I INDICATED, A DOUBLE A- INDICATIONS THAT IN DOING THE SAME THING THAT WE DO WILL LEAD US TO HIGHER RATINGS. I MEAN A FULL RATING PERSPECTIVE OF THE INVESTMENT-GRADE OF AAA AND BEING BELOW. 
          AGAIN PORTABLE HIGH-GRADE, IN FUNDS WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE FINANCIAL RESERVE OR TALK ABOUT INVESTING IT IS A MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT WAY TO SAY NOT INVESTMENT-GRADE, HIGH-YIELD MEANS YOU PAY HI SPECULATIVE GRADE ON THIS CHART. 
          YOU SEE THE NEXT GROUP, BIG PORTION WOULD BE A RATED OR BETTER SO IT'S A SMALLER GROUP AND THE REASON IT IS SMALLER IS BECAUSE A TRIPLE B RATING IN YOUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO LIQUIDATE AND LIQUIDATE AT A LOSS. 
          WE WILL SEE MOSTLY TRIPLE B AND THOSE STATIONS GO TO RETAIL INVESTORS. WHAT I CALL THE TRUE PREMIUM WOULD BE CONSIDERED HIGH-YIELD WHICH MEANS OUR AA RATING PUTS US THE SAME INVESTOR WITH SECURITIES. 
          WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT, IT DOESN'T, VERY GOOD ON THIS SLIDE COMES A BETTER ONLINE TO GIVE YOU A FEEL BETWEEN A RATED CREDIT THE AVERAGE YIELD ON SEPTEMBER WOULD BE 3.2 8%, THE AVERAGE YIELD, 20 BASIS POINTS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT, TOO TENSE. ON THIS SALE ALONE IF WE HAD BEEN TOO TENSE HIGHER. THAT WOULD BE MORE INTEREST. 
          LATER THIS YIELD TO FIND A 52 MILLION-DOLLAR ISSUE, 22 BASIS POINTS ON THE ISSUE OR IN TOTAL THE DIFFERENCE WHEN WE WERE DOUBLE A- ON NEGATIVE OUTLOOK, CORRECTIVE ACTION WE WERE DOWNGRADED TO THE A RATE AND LIKELY HAD LESS BIDDERS AND BASED ON MARKET, MINIMUM HAD MORE INTEREST EXPENSE THAT IS PROGRAM. RATING THE SOLE PURPOSE IS WHEN 
          [02:10:03]
YOU DO AXIS CAPITAL AND ABLE AT THE LOWEST COST. 
          WE WERE TRIPLE B RATED AS RECENTLY, THIS ISSUE WOULD'VE COST US ABOUT 6 MILLION IN THESE TWO ISSUES. 
          THIS IS A SUMMARY OF WHAT THE RATING REPORT WAS A DOUBLE A- ON BOTH THIS ISSUE IN THE UPCOMING TRANSACTION, THEY MENTIONED WERE THE EXPANDING ECONOMY ADJACENT, EXPECTATION OF STABLE PERFORMANCE, YOUR PRELIMINARY BUDGET FOR ALSO 2023, THE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES IN PLACE, A LOT OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO ENSURE WHAT HAPPENS. 
          IT WAS INDICATED AS A WEAK DEBT PROFILE. 
          I PUT THIS IN HERE, THIS WEEK I SOLD TO AAA ISSUERS FOR ALL THIS WORK WE DID, BOTH OF THEM HAVE WEAK DEBT PROFILE A LOT MORE REASONS THAN YOU DO. ONE IS BECAUSE IT'S A STAIRSTEP FUNCTION IN ITS NEW INTERSYSTEM. TO THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE ENTITIES THROUGHOUT IN OKLAHOMA IST BY SALES TAX VOTED SPECIFICALLY. WE WOULD HAVE HIGHER OVERLAPPING DEBT BECAUSE THEY WOULD COUNTER IST'S. 
          UNIQUELY IN OUR CITY, THIS IS HT AND OVER HALF OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND IS DONE FOR A REASON IS CHEAPER, ULTIMATELY LOWER COST TO THE RATEPAYERS. COMBINING A NUMBER OF FACTORS THEY WOULD DISCOURSE IN MY ENTIRE PORTFOLIO OF CLIENTS, 9% OF THEM WOULD BE IN A WORD TRIPLE B, THE ONLY ONES THAT DON'T ARE THE ONES WITH HIGH DEMOGRAPHIC HE SAID WORK INITIAL WEEK BECAUSE THAT STATISTICALLY BUT DOES IT AFFECT YOUR GENERAL RATING, YOU NEED TO FIND GROWING AND PROVIDE THESE AMENITIES. 
          ON THE OUTLOOK, I THINK THAT THE READING UPGRADE WAS THE IMPORTANT THING TO ME. IT REALLY TALKS ABOUT IS CONTINUING OUR CURRENT TRAJECTORY, ANNUAL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, STRONG TREND OF RESERVES, FORMALIZING LONG-TERM PLANS AND FUTURE DEBT. I'M CONFIDENT WHEN I LOOK AT THAT THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING THAT I NOTICE IN THIS PLAN AND MY EXPECTATION WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME FOR SOME OF THE THINGS THAT TAKE PLACE IN OUR CURRENT STRATEGY AND OPTIMIZATION OF RESULTING IN MUCH HIGHER THAN THIS. 
          [02:15:02]
NOTHING THEY COULD DO OR DIFFERENT TO GET A HIGHER RATING. THE BIGGEST ISSUE THE INDICATED THERE WAS A DISCUSSION WHEN WE LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL CRITERIA IN THE CRITERIA SCORE MUCH HIGHER THAN INDIVIDUAL SCORING BUT THE RECENCY OF PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, AGAIN I WAS CONFIDENT. 
          THINKING THERE FOR LETTING ME GO TO THAT, THAT WAS BENEFICIAL. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? >> MY ONLY LAST QUESTION, IF WE EVER WANTED TO REFINANCE WHEN IS A CALLABLE TIME? 
          >> I WOULD SAY NINE YEARS, I THINK IS NINE YEARS, AGAIN, AS I INDICATED PREVIOUSLY WE SET UP NINE YEARS TO DO IT SHORTER AND IT WOULD COST US MONEY AND INTEREST RATES AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY NEED TO DO THAT AND RECENTLY WITH SOME OF OUR CLIENTS STANDARD ON THE SITE 25 YEAR ISSUE. 
          I'LL ALSO SAY WE TALK TO ANGIE ABOUT YOUR OVERALL CAPITAL STRUCTURE. IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ISSUES AND I THINK WE TAKE IT SERIOUS WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT YOU WANT TO PAY WITH A BIG PERCENTAGE OF THE DEBT THAT WE 
          CAN GET TO SOON. >> I DO HAVE A QUESTION THIS MIGHT BE FOR ANGIE BUT YOU SAID THE CITY IS A NEW MEMBER OF COUNSEL, THIS IS THE FOURTH MONTH, NEW BUDGET CYCLE HAVING TO GO TO THIS BUT YOU SAID THE DEBT STRUCTURE IS WELL STRUCTURED, WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN IN SIMPLE TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING OUR DEBT STRUCTURE? 
          >> UP AT THE LAST PRESENTATION UP, SHE CAN BEAR WITH ME. 
          >> EFFECT WITH THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION UP, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE FROM YOUR SCREEN, WHEN EMILEE INDICATING IF YOU LOOK AT:  D, G MOST OF ALL, MY WHAT I MENTIONED WE ISSUE-STRUCTURES WHEN I LOOK AT THE ISSUES IT WAS BACKLOADED. 
          THERE WAS A HUMP AND NOT. >> YOU FIX THE 400,000. 
          >> RIGHT NOW AFTER THIS ISSUE IS CLOSED NEXT YEAR YOU PAY A THOUSAND OR 580, WE ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO LEVEL. 
          WHAT THAT MEANS TO GROW OUR EXPECTATIONS YOU AND HUNTER RAISED INS, IF WE DON'T GROW IN VALUE IT WILL GO DOWN OR YOU HAVE MORE CAPACITY. WE TALKED TO ANGIE AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE DEBT STRUCTURE WHICH MEANS AS YOU GROW, YOU WILL HAVE CAPACITY AND WHAT I MEANT BY THAT, ANDRE WHO WAS HERE THE OTHER DAY, WHEN WE HAD ALL THESE NUMBERS, WHAT WE WANT TO STRESS TO YOU, OUR STRUCTURE NOW WITH THE DEBT STRUCTURE, TO BE HERE IS THE SENSITIVITY IN WHATEVER 
          [02:20:03]
RESPONSIBILITIES, I WOULD TELL YOU WE STAY WHERE WE ARE WHICH WE ARE GOING TO BE IN A SITUATION IT'LL BE POSITIVE. 
          THE LAST FEW YEARS WE GREW 30 OR 37. 
          >> WHAT HE IS ALLUDING TO, SEE HOW COLUMN G IS 1.6, 1.7. 
          WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, I DON'T KNOW WHICH BOND ISSUANCE BUT .6, 1.9, THEN THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE THAT WOULD COME IN AND SAY 1.7, IF YOU DID NOTHING IN FOUR YEARS, WE HAVE A 600,000-DOLLAR INCREASE IN DEBT SERVICE. IF NOT BORROWING ANY DEBT OR I INS, IS INCREASING EVERY YEAR BY A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND JUST FOR DOING EACH BUBBLE COMING UP. THIS YEAR I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE 
          THAT. >> THE MAYOR IS RIGHT, THE TIMEFRAME RATES ARE DOWN WE DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO REFUND IT. 
          AND DISCUSS IT WITH THE MAYOR AND SENIOR STAFF. 
          THE BUBBLE IN THE YEARS 23. >> 25 HE DIRECTED TO TAKE ALL THE SAVINGS, IF WE DID NOT GROW WE WOULD BE -- THIS ISSUE AND THAT ISSUE WE CANNOT GET RID OF ALL OF IT IN THIS ISSUE TAKES OUT OF CONSIDERATION. TO ME OVER TIME WILL HAVE A MUCH MORE DECLINING STRUCTURE AND OUTPACE OUR DEBT NEEDS. 
          BUT WERE IN A GOOD SPOT IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO BE WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN A POSITION AS A PERSON OR MIN MUNICIPALITY WHERE IT'S GOING TO RAISE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN COLUMN J, SIMILARLY MODERATE GROWTH, THE RATE WOULD BE ON THE EXISTING DEBT. THE REALITY IS THERE ARE PROJECTS AND I THANK YOU WILL HAVE CAPACITY AND WE WILL GROW MUCH HIGHER THAN 9% OF HER MULTIYEAR PLAN. 
          >> TAKE YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT. >> ANY QUESTION OR ACTION FOR

          ANOTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT, LAST TIME THERE SEEM TO BE IN THE BUDGET WE WERE DISCUSSING. 
          I WENT AHEAD AND HAD ANGIE WRITE A PHYSICAL COPY, THIS SLIGHTLY DID CHANGE AND DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONICALLY ON MONDAY AND ANGIE PREPARED HER SHEET TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE DIFFERENCES WERE IN THE FUTURE BUDGETS WILL BE LISTED AND THERE WILL BE NO CONFUSION GOING FORWARD. THIS ONE DOES HAVE SEPTEMBER 13 VERSION TWO ON THE COVER PAGE. THAT WAY YOU CAN HOPEFULLY KEEP THOSE THINGS SEPARATE. WITH THAT SAID THANK YOU ALL 
          VERY MUCH. >> CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR THE CITY. THIS IS INTERESTING ON THE FIRST PAGE, AND THE ORIGINAL VERSION, I THINK THE FIRST VERSION YOU HAD FINANCE POSITION, WE CLARIFIED THAT WITH THE BUDGET SO TOTAL GENERAL FUND BUDGET PROPOSED IS 27.9 MILLION DOWN OVER THE LAST FEW MEETINGS. THIS IS THE FINAL 27. 
          >> CAPITAL FUNDS 31.6 MILLION IN IT DOES REFLECT $25 MILLION COMING IN INTO THE CAPITAL PROJECTS. 
          TOTAL UTILITIES, 1 MILLION, ADC BUDGET RIGHT AT TWO. 
          LDC, THIS IS FOR NONE OF THESE HAVE CHANGED FROM THE SYSTEM FROM THE LAST THREE OR FOUR MEETINGS. 
          BASED ON THE OTHER FUNDS IS WHERE THE DEBT SERVICES. 
          IN $25 MILLION IN DEBT IN THE PAYMENTS THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. IT IS BASED ON THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE AND IT IS A BALANCE. 
          THE ONLY THING THAT YOU WILL SEE ON THE BOTTOM LINE IS A $2.9 MILLION OF ITEM THAT WAS CARRIED FORWARD. 
          I AM HAPPY TO SAY WITH THE CHANGE IN THE DEBT IN THE LOWERING OF THE INS RATE PUSHING A LITTLE BIT MORE IT INDICATED WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO TO M AND O. 
          WE ADDED THE BUDGET ANALYST IN THE CITY ENGINEER THAT WE TOOK OUT OF THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. 
          WE REMOVED THOSE ADDITIONAL AND CAME DOWN FROM THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE AND HAD AN ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. ALSO, ON PAGE 44 OF THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT FUND WE SEE THE TRANSPORTATION, IT IS 
          [02:30:01]
BEEN ADDED IN THERE AS REQUESTED BY THE MAYOR. 
          SO DO YOU HAVE INCLUDED? PAGE 44. 
          >> IT'S RIGHT HERE. >> IS NOT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, WE HAVE COLLECTED AT THIS $.1 MILLION. 
          ROUGHLY IN THE IMPACT FEES AND WE ARE PROJECTING -- 
          >> THE REASON WE ARE PUTTING THOSE IN THE UNRESERVED FUND BALANCE WOULD MEAN THEY ARE IN A SPECIAL FUND BECAUSE THEY ARE RESTRICTED, SAME WITH THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUNDS BECAUSE OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON THEM WITH THE GENERAL FUND AND THERE IS NO 
          CHANCE OF SPENDING. >> THE FUND BALANCE THAT WE HAVE NOT ALLOCATED CAN ONLY BE USED FOR THOSE PROJECTS SO WE SHOULD HOPEFULLY BE SEEN USED ON THE RESTRICTIONS. 
          >> RIGHT, BUT THEY HAVE DONE WITHOUT SETTING THE FEE WOULD HAVE A LIST OF PROJECTS, THE CITY MANAGER HAS BEEN PROVIDED THE INFORMATION SO STAFF WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT. 
          WE WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE WHERE THAT MONEY GOES. 
          THANK YOU. >> THERE'S A MILLION IN THE ACCOUNT NOW AND YOU ALL EXPECT TO BRING IN ANOTHER 1 MILLION? 
          >> WE HAVE A MILLION SITTING THERE RIGHT NOW. 
          >> MY QUESTION, THE PROPOSED WE WILL HAVE TWO OF THE END OF THE YEAR THAT MEANS YOU'RE ANTICIPATING WE WILL SOMETIME 
          OVER 23. >> NO WE WILL HAVE A MILLION AT 
          THE END OF THIS YEAR. >> RIGHT. 
          >> THE INDIAN UNRESERVED BALANCE ANTICIPATING THOSE ADDED 
          TOGETHER. >> THAT'S WHY I WAS CONFUSED ON 
          THE MAP, THANK YOU. >> IS ON WIDE. 
          IT IS VERY WISE TO BUDGET. THE LIST OF PROJECTS I VIEW AS COMING UP WHATEVER COUNSEL DOES THE STRATEGIC PLANNING AND THEY CAN DETERMINE WHAT THEY WANTED YOU A MID-YEAR BUDGET AMENDMENT TO WORK ON ENGINEERING OR POTENTIAL CONSTRUCTION THE COUNCIL HOUSE IN A STRATEGIC PLAN TO DETERMINE ITS 
          PRIORITIZING. >> THAT'S WHY SET A MILLION, NOT TO A 3 MILLION, BY THE TIME I GET TO THAT. 
          >> WHAT I LIKE TO SEE IN THE BUDGET I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, IN MY BOOK IS GOING TO COST A MILLION DOLLARS IN FUNDING SOURCES WE'RE GOING TO USE A HUNDRED THOUSAND AND WERE CANOE 6 MILLION FROM THIS OVER BORROWING OR UNDER BORROWING. 
          >> THAT'S EXACTLY HOW A FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT WOULD BE PREPARED AFTER THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS DONE. 
          WE HOPE TO LEAN INTO THAT. >> I KEEP SEEING THESE THINGS HAPPEN. RESERVE ESTIMATED 3.1 MILLION. 
          >> YOU'RE TAKING THE RESERVE ON TOP OF IT. 
          >> AUDIT. >> MINUS THE TOTAL FUND BALANCE, 
          TO SHOW YOU WHAT IS REQUIRED. >> SO YOU DON'T SUBTRACT OUT THE 20% AND WILL ROLL THE NEXT YEAR END SHOW YOU WHAT THE 20%. 
          [02:35:10]
          >> THE TOTAL OPERATING REVENUE. >> THE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. 
          >> YEAH, THE EXPENSES GROW IN THE RESERVE. 
          HE GETS ONLY KIND OF THING THAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT AND I GUESS MAYBE WE'LL LOOK AT AS WE GO RIGHT NOW KEEPING BASED ON THE BUDGET REQUIRED RESERVE OF 20% IN THE 0 LINE ANNA. 
          PREMIER QUESTION IS A COUNSEL NO NEW REVENUE RATE, MY ONLY QUESTION YOU THINK IS PRUDENT WE GET TO 25% AND REFERRED BALANCE. 
          IF THAT'S THE CASE, HOW DO WE GET THAT AT NO NEW REVENUE RATE. 
          >> I SHOW A SUPPORT 43% FUND RAISE BALANCE ON A PROPOSED BUDGET. WILL FINISH THE YEAR WITH 14.8 08 MILLION AS PROPOSED 4.8. I'M SORRY. 
          WE HAVE 14.8, WILL STILL HAVE ANOTHER 40% SO YOU CHANGE THE UNRESERVED BALANCE AND HE PROPOSED FOR 2023. 
          >> WE WILL NEED TO BRING THE POLICY, IT'S IN THE FISCAL BUDGET POLICY TO DO THAT. WE DO PLAN TO HAVE A DISCUSSION. 
          >> PERFECT, THANK YOU. >> THAT DISCUSSION NEEDS TO BE BROAD AND MORE ON THE 33%, ABOUT 25, 33% IS MORE THE THREE MONTH RANGE, I THINK WE NEED HIGHER THAN THAT. 
          I THINK NOW IS THE TIME, THIS IS THE YEAR THAT WERE GOING TO DO IT THAT WE SHOULD AND CAN DO IT BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH AN ACCESS AND THE BOTTOM LINE RIGHT NOW, WE CAN TAKE THAT ADVANTAGE IN GOING FORWARD WE COULD DO THE BALANCED-BUDGET BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THAT EXTRA BUILT-IN RIGHT NOW. 
          >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WHEN WE PUT MORE OF IT AWAY OUT OF THE 10 MILLION PROBABLY REALISTICALLY MAY BE A BECAUSE WE PUT ANOTHER 2 MILLION IN RESERVES. 
          >> RIGHT NOW WERE NOT BUDGETING TO SPEND THE CARRYOVER FROM THE 
          CURRENT YEAR, NOTHING ELSE. >> ANY AMENDMENTS TO THE BUDGET, AT THIS POINT WITHDRAWAL INTO THAT RESERVE, AS OF RIGHT NOW, NO. IF YOU REMEMBER LAST WEEK YOU CHOSE THE LEVEL OF THE SERVICE OPTION, RATE OPTION, THAT'S A 1.481 FOR THE DEBT THAT WAS JUST APPROVED. 
          AT THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE THAN THE IMINO PIECES THE 27388 SHOWN ON THE TOP ROW WITH THE 14 TOTAL IN THE 42918 OF REVENUE RATE. 
          THAT IS WHAT IS REFLECTED IN THE DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE. 
          ON PAGE 32 THE DRAINAGE OF A CAPITAL OUTLAY OF 3.2 OR 3.3 MILLION, WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT INCLUDE. 
          >> INCLUDES ALMOST $2 MILLION FOR THE STATE SIDEWALKS. 
          WE HAVE THE MILLION BUDGETED FOR PHASE TWO PLUS A CARRYOVER OF PHASE ONE WHICH IS KICKING OFF. A MAJORITY OF THAT IS LAKESIDE BOX, LET ME GET TO MY PAGE. WE HAVE 300,000, ALSO MILLION 
          DOLLARS FOR RECONSTRUCTION. >> THOSE WE TOOK OUT OF THE 
          BONDS. >> WE HAVE 300 FOR COUNTY ROAD 199 TO BE REPAVED AND THEN ALSO SMALL EQUIPMENT A TRAILER, A BRINE SPREADER AND ALSO THE TRUCK GATE FOR PEW NOVATION IN 
          EVERY AREA. >> IS DONE ON PAGE 23 IT'S ALL WRITTEN OUT. ANYBODY ELSE? 
          >> THAT NUMBER WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. 
          >> SO THIS IS A POLICY QUESTION, IF WE GO OUT AND I SAY IF WE DID WE SELL 25 MILLION IN BONDS, WHO WAS TO GO AHEAD AND SPEND THE 
          [02:40:02]
BOND MONEY AND SAVE THE OTHER MONEY AND USE THOSE BONDS UP THEN IT IS TO USE SOME BONDS, SOME GENERAL REVENUES AND DOES NOT MAKE SENSE WHAT I'M SAYING? IT SEEMS LIKE NOW, HE GOES BACK TO WHAT I SAID BEFORE, WE'RE USING DEBT IN IN SOME WAYS WERE USING GENERAL REVENUE. WHEN WE GET THEM WORKING TO BE USED GENERAL REVENUE AND HAVE DEBT ALLOCATED TO THE FOLLOWING YEAR. DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE, ONCE YOU SELL THE BONDS IT DOESN'T MATTER IT'S GOING TO THE POT OF MONEY, IT DOES NOT MATTER? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? 
          >> IT DOES MAYOR COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD JAMES CITY MANAGER. 
          I THINK WE SELL THE BONDS, THE PORTION THAT WE HAVE TO SET ASIDE STATUTORILY FOR THE 16 - 16 PROJECT THOSE THREE PROJECTS, THOSE DOLLARS UNFORTUNATELY ARE LOCKED UP INPUT TO DECIDE, THAT LEAVES THE NET REMAINING BOND PROCEEDS TO FUND THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAD LISTED IN THE ORDER. 
          BUT TO YOUR POINT, DO YOU GO AHEAD AND PAY SOME OF THAT FROM GENERAL FUND OR SPREAD THE BOND FUNDS FURTHER? REALLY AS LONG AS YOU DOING THE ROAD PROJECTS, IT DOESN'T AT THE END OF THE DAY REALLY MATTER. BUT IF YOU HAVE THE BOND PROCEEDS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL UTILIZE THOSE THAT RATHER THAN DRAWING INTO YOUR RESERVES. YOU GOING TO HAVE TO GET SPENT ON THE TRANSPORTATION REQUIRED LIST. 
          >> WHAT I'M THINKING THE BONDS HAVE TO BE USED FOR ROAD PROJECTS, AND GENERAL REVENUE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE USED FOR ROAD 
          PROJECTS. >> UNLESS IT'S A TRAFFIC IMPACT 
          FEE WHICH DOES. >> TO ME AND MAKES SENSE TO USE ALL THE MONEY THAT SPECIFICALLY FOR ROAD PROJECTS FIRST, LEAVE THE OTHER MONEY IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS LATER THIS YEAR END WE WANT TO DROP A MILLION DOLLARS ON A PARK, WE SPEND DOLLAR GENERAL REVENUE WE DON'T HAVE THE MILLION DOLLARS, WE HAVE EXTRA. YOU THINK THAT CAN BE CHANGED LATER ON IN A BUDGET AMENDMENT IF SOMEBODY WERE TO DECIDE TO DO THAT? I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE. THAT'S WHAT WE SAID BEFORE, WE SPENT ROADS AND DRAINAGE MONEY BUYING PARKLAND OR INVESTMENT PROPERTY OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. 
          >> IF IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND IT OR USING GENERAL FUND MONEY FOR A PROJECT THAT QUALIFIES FOR BOND MONEY YOU CAN REIMBURSE 
          HERSELF FROM THE BOND PROCEEDS. >> WE HAVE A REIMBURSEMENT 
          RESOLUTION IN PLACE. >> YOU CHOSE TO READ ONLY GOING TO COVER THE FIRST YEAR OF DESIGN, THE FIRST YEAR OF LIST OF ITEMS THAT IS MOSTLY DESIGN OF PROJECTS. 
          HALF OF THE 25 MILLION, A LITTLE OVER 12 AND A HALF, ALMOST 13 WILL BE PUT ASIDE FOR THE 16 - 16 PROJECTS. 
          SO HALF OF THE BOND IS GONE AND HAS TO BE PUT ASIDE IN SPENT ON 
          THE PROJECT. >> YOU TO BE SET ASIDE, WHEN WE SPEND MONEY ON THOSE PROJECTS IT'S GOING TO DRAWN DOWN THE 10 
          ODD MILLION FROM THOSE PROJECTS. >> WRITE THE 12 AND HALF, THE 13 MILLION. IT'S NOT LIKE WE BONDED TO USE A 
          PROJECTS. >> I STILL THINK IT'S MORE THAN WERE GOING TO USE ONCE I BACK OUT NO MONEY WERE SPENDING ON GENERAL REVENUE. WE HAVE 14.86, 610, CALL IT 50 MILLION PROJECTS, IF I BACK OUT OF MILLION 55 ON GENERAL FUND AND BACK OUT OF 200 THAT MEANS 12.6 MILLION TO HIT WHAT WE GOT BUDGETED AND WE'RE GOING TO COME IN PRETTY CLOSE TO THAT. 
          THAT DOESN'T EVEN TOUCH. >> THAT'S FOR 23 BUT 24 AND 25 THOSE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE WANTING NEED MORE MONEY 
          TO COMPLETE THE PROJECTS. >> OF ONLY WORRIED ABOUT 2023 BECAUSE I MIGHT NOT BE HERE IN 2044 ON TO SET THE MONEY ASIDE 
          [02:45:04]
AND FUND THE REST OF THE PROJECTS THIS YEAR AND WE STILL HAVE. WE HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY TO GET THERE ONE YEAR AND FIGURE OUT WHERE RAT ON ALL THE PROJECTS AND WHAT'S AHEAD OF SCHEDULE WAS BEHIND SCHEDULE AND LIKE I SAID YOU CAN HAVE A REALLY GOOD DISCUSSION ON WHERE WE ARE AT ON ENGINEERING 30 MILLION OR MAYBE BORROW 50 OR 10 BECAUSE THINGS 
          DID NOT WORK OUT. >> IN THE READING 53 AVAILABLE THAT'S BEFORE WE DRAWN ON THE 25 SO WERE ABOUT 28 LEFT IN THE BOND. THAT'S ALL WE HAVE LEFT TO DO. 
          WERE GOING BACK TO THE VOTERS IN TWO YEARS. 
          IN TWO YEARS WE SHOULD HAVE THAT ON ONE FROM 2019, THAT 7 MILLION 
          TIED UP. >> HAS TO BE SPENT ON ROADS. 
          >> I CAN'T TELL ON THE PARKS TO BE MOVED, THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE 45000, DID THAT COME OUT IN THE GENERAL REVENUE BEING SPENT AND WENT TO PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND? 
          >> NO, SIR, IT DID NOT. >> IS THAT SOMETHING WE ARE 
          STILL GOING TO DO? >> ABSOLUTELY. 
          >> ASKED THE CITY MANAGER OUT OF THE PARKS AND RACKS THERE'S 333,000 AND CAPITAL, 33, I ASKED HOW MUCH OF THAT MONEY CAN COME OUT OF PARK IMPROVEMENT FUNDS AND HAS 2.3 MILLION. 
          >> YOU CAN SEE THE LIST OF PROJECTS ON PAGE 25. 
          >> ABOUT 45000 TO MOVE OVER WHICH WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HAVE THAT MONEY GO TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND CITY COUNCIL THEN HAVE IT REPLACED WITH PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND BECAUSE THAT MONEY IS ONLY MEANT FOR PARK IMPROVEMENT AND THEN I HAVE THAT IDEA. I HAD, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF WHAT ELSE, I THINK THE NUMBERS CHANGE, PAGE 40 CAPITAL OUTLAY OF THE 2.5 MILLION. I DON'T THINK PAGE 40 IS PAGE 40 ANYMORE. YOU REMEMBER WHAT I WAS TALKING 
          ABOUT. >> THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND, WE JUST SLATED TO 2.5 HOLDING SPOT THAT IS WITH THE 
          25 MILLION-DOLLAR BOND IS NOW. >> WEBPAGES THAT ON? 
          >> 45. >> OKAY, THAT IS THERE. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT UTILITY IMPACT FEES. 
          THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I HAD OUTSTANDING WAS ON PAGE ONE. 
          I HAVE THIS ASSUMING THAT WE ADOPT THIS I HAVE THE THIRD YEAR WITH THE TAX RATE PROPS NOT THE SECOND. 
          >> WE CORRECTED THAT SIR IN THIS VERSION THAT YOU HAVE. 
          >> MINE STILL SAYS SECOND. >> IT SURE DOES. 
          WE MADE THAT CHANGE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. 
          WILL UPDATE IT BEFORE IT'S POSTED. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. >> MAYOR PRO TEM WOULD BE PROUD 
          OF ME FOR QUESTIONS. >> YOU DID. 
          >> I'M NOT WHEN YOU READ THEM BUT I'LL GIVE YOU THE SYNOPSIS BECAUSE THE TICKETS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY. 
          AS FOR A REVISION DATE ON THE FRONT PAGE, THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE. 
          I SAID I LOVE THE FIRST PAGE, QUOTE THIS BUDGET WILL RAISE THE SAME AMOUNT OF REVENUE. IF PASTOR TO BE A GREAT JOB COMMITTED TO STAFF, CITY COUNCIL IN THE PRESS RELEASE IN THE METRO AREA. I ASKED ABOUT THE DEBT BEING 114, 114 MILLION INSTEAD OF 73 AND YOU LET ME KNOW AT HER ACTION EARLIER AND MADE TO 114. WE TALKED ABOUT THE RATE, THE RATE HAS GONE FROM 51.51712 THE CRAZY YEAR IN 19 WHERE WE JUMPED AT 6-313-512-2020 WE DROP TO .6 IN 2020 WHEN WE DROP 2.536448. 
          I'D PROBABLY SAY THAT THE MOST OF ASSESSMENTS. 
          NUMBER FIVE I ASKED, I DON'T KNOW THAT WORD. 
          >> I THINK IT WAS AUTOCORRECT. >> I WAS ASKING ABOUT THE FTES, SHOULD WE INCLUDE THE ENHANCEMENTS TO THE FTE PAGE. 
          I HAD THE DRAINAGE 3.2 MILLION, HOW MUCH OF THAT WAS SLATED FOR 
          [02:50:02]
BOND FUNDS AND WAS A READING IT RIGHT 20 OUTREACH WENT UP 20 GRAND, USE X PLANE THAT'S FOR DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENTS. 
          A COUPLE OF OUTLAYS WITH YOUR GEISHA, THE WHOLE DEAL. 
          PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND AND 25 MILLION, 2.5 MILLION IN IMPACT FEES WE ARE STILL WORKING ON GETTING A GOOD PLAN ON HOW THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE FIGURED OUT LATER WHICH IS A NIGHTMARE TO GO BACK TO THAT I'M SURE. WHAT'S THAT? 
          >> ESPECIALLY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT SLOWS THE PROCESS MAKE SURE WE CAPTURE EVERYTHING. 
          >> CAPITAL OUTLAYS ON STREETS IN DRAINAGE AND SIDEWALKS I SUGGESTED FISCAL POLICY BECAUSE IT WAS ADDED AS AN ATTACHMENT TO THE POLICY. I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT CEOS BUT THAT'S NOT LEGAL SO WE DO HAVE TO HIT THAT ONE WAY IN THE LAST ONE WAS TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES AND YOU SAID YOU GUYS GOT A GOOD START ON IT BASICALLY. SO YEAH I THANK YOU INTO THAT PRETTY QUICK AT 8:00 O'CLOCK FRIDAY YOUR LEASE TOLD ME YOU WERE ON IT. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. 
          >> WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET YOU THE ANSWERS THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS WHEN CITIZENS ANSWERS 
          QUESTIONS. >> OR BACK TO THE IMPACT FEES AND UNDERSTAND WHAT WE APPROVE FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S LEFT. UP UNTIL A COUPLE MONTHS AGO A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW HOW MANY ELLIE USED WE APPROVED AND HOW MANY IMPACT FEES. THAT'S A POSSIBLE BUT IT STILL 
          HAS TO BE REQUEST. >> EVEN ON THE PROPERTY IMPACT SIDE WE HAVE AGREEMENTS WHERE WE ARE REIMBURSING PROPERTY TAX. 
          AND SALES TAX. EVEN FOR THE BUDGET ON OUR SIDE AND FINANCE, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND REVIEW THOSE AND TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT THE REIMBURSEMENT IS SO WE CAN REDUCE THE REVENUE SHOWN IN HERE BECAUSE ONE IS PRETTY 
          SIGNIFICANT. >> IN THE FUTURE CAN WE GET WHEN THOSE ARE GOING TO TERMINATE. ESPECIALLY JUST COMING ON THE COUNCIL, I DON'T KNOW ALL THESE AGREEMENTS WE HAVE IN PLACE. 
          I THINK HOME DEPOT AND LOWS, THOSE ARE NOW COMPLETED. 
          >> WITH THE CITY MANAGER THREE WEEKS AGO I ASKED HIM IF WE COULD GET STAR RANCH, THAT'S A BIG ONE, COBBLE CREEK IS A BIG ONE AND I THINK THEY'RE ALL BRILLIANT AGREEMENTS BECAUSE ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE WAS DONE BY THE DEVELOPER AND WE PAY THE DEVELOPER TO NOT WITH EXCEED THE AMOUNT. 
          WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE I THINK THE DEVELOPMENT IS PAYING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE TAXPAYERS ARE PAINTER INS. 
          I KNOW WE STARTED TRACKING IT BUT A FORGIVEN 1.5 MILLION A YEAR TO START PEOPLE BACK, IS NOT TO EXCEED 7 MILLION, AT WHAT POINT TO BE HIT 7 MILLION THAT COULD DRAMATICALLY CHANGE OUR FINANCES. BUT WERE WORKING ON PUTTING ALL 
          HIS AGREEMENTS TOGETHER. >> IT IS TRICKY THERE IS A DOLLAR AMOUNT ON SOME OF THEM SO WE HAVE TO ESTIMATE WHAT WE THINK THOSE REVENUES WILL BE SO IT WON'T BE EXACT ON SOME OF THAT BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON SALES TAX OR PROPERTY TAXES. 
          THOSE ARE A LITTLE TRICKY AND ONE OF THEM GETS IMPACT FEES, 
          PROPERTY TAXES. >> DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION, I KNOW WE STILL HAVE A CITIZEN THAT IS LOOKING 
          TO SPEAK. >> THAT DOES INCLUDE 
          REPRESENTATION. >> YOU GUYS NO OBJECTIONS? 
          , MIKE, I'LL GIVE YOU THE FOUR. >> AGAIN, GOOD EVENING. 
          I WILL BE BRIEF, THIS MORNING I DID BRING BY 100% PLANNED, 100% ENGINEER COPY OF THE LIVE LOOK STREET PROJECT AND DELIVERED IT TO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE HAD TORN UP STREETS FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS. 
          WE'VE HAD FOUR AND HALF YEARS TO WHERE WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT, TO KICK IT DOWN THE ROAD ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO IS REALLY NOT GOING TO BE VERY HELPFUL TO OLD TOWN IN ANY FORM OR FASHION. WE HAVE TO DO LIVE LOOK STREET FIRST, IT IS NO LONGER STREET ON THE NORTH SIDE. 
          IN FACT IT'S THE LONGEST STREET IN OUR TOWN. 
          WE ONLY HAVE TWO AND A HALF MILES, ACTUALLY LESS THAN BECAUSE SOME OF THESE HAVE BEEN REDONE SUCH AS BARLEY STREET AND PARTS OF EAST STREET. BUT WE'VE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY, I 
          [02:55:04]
DO APPLAUD YOU WELL ON WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO WITH REGARD TO INFO STRUCTURE. DURING DOWN TIMES SUCH AS THE 1980S THAT I WENT THROUGH, 2007 THAT MANY OF YOU ALL WENT THROUGH AND WHAT WERE GOING THROUGH NOW, IT IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR THE FUTURE. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER FOR TAKING THE TIME AND EFFORT TO WORK ON INFO STRUCTURE. 
          AND THAT STARTS OF COURSE TO ME WITH PUBLIC SAFETY FIRST AND THEN GOES TO YOUR WATER, YOUR WASTEWATER, YOUR STREETS, YOUR PARKS, EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS FOR QUALITY OF LIFE. 
          WE DON'T HAVE THAT QUALITY OF LIFE IN OLD TOWN. 
          FOR THE LAST THREE AND HALF YEARS, THE STREET I LIVE ON, IT'S A DANGEROUS STREET TO LIVE ON. 
          AND I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE, NOT JUST LIVE LOOK STREET BUT THE ENTIRETY OF OLD TOWN FOR THE SCARIEST AWARD OF HALLOWEEN TRADE WE DESERVE IT. YOU CAN TRIP AND FALL DOWN IN THE DITCHES, YOU CAN GET HURT. IT'S NOT A SAFE PLACE TO BE. 
          THERE IS A TOTAL LACK OF SIDEWALKS AND LIGHTING EXCEPT IN REMEDIATED STREET AREAS. THERE'S A SITUATION THERE WERE PUBLIC SAFETY DOES PLAY IN TILL LIVE LOOK. 
          WHAT I APPLAUD YOU FOR, AT LEAST DO SOME SORT OF OPINION AMONGST HERSELF AND DECIDE, DO WE WANT TO DO OLD TOWN AND MAKE IT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, AS IT SHOULD BE. 
          IT'S A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHAT PEOPLE COME TO HUTTO FOR THE FEEL BECAUSE THEY LOVE THIS TOWN. 
          I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU ALL, LOOK NOT JUST AT LIVE LOOK BUT LOOK AT THE ENTIRETY OF IT, SOUTH OF THE TRACKS, NORTH OF THE TRACKS AND CONNECTIVITY INTO ALL THE OTHER SUBDIVISIONS THAT DO HAVE CURB AND GUTTER AND DO HAVE SIDEWALKS AND MUCH NICER THAN WE CURRENTLY ARE AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS. 
          I'D BE HAPPY TO MEET WITH ANY OF YOU ALL INDIVIDUALLY AND GIVE YOU HISTORICAL TOURS. I OFFERED IT BEFORE TOO MANY AND JUST BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU WHAT I KNOW. 
          I'M NOT GOING TO BE HERE THAT MUCH LONGER, ALL LIVE IN HUTTO TILL I DIE BUT I MAY NOT BE AROUND THAT MUCH LONGER TO SHARE THE INFORMATION AND I LOVE FOR YOU ALL TO TAKE ME UP ON THAT TO 
          THE PERSON. >> AND I ASK YOU A QUESTION? 
          >> SURE. >> BEING A PREVIOUS MERE YOU CAN APPRECIATE HAVING SERVED APPEAR FOR EIGHT YEARS. 
          >> VERY MUCH SO, THE SAME TYPE OF DECISIONS THAT ARE JUST BIGGER NOW BECAUSE THE CITY IS BIGGER. 
          >> I HAVE A QUESTION, I TOTALLY AGREE THAT OLD TOWN HAS BEEN NEGLECTED, IN FACT IT ONLY TOOK FIVE YEARS. 
          I DON'T SEE WHERE AN IMPROVEMENT WAS EVER MADE TO OLD TOWN. 
          I IMAGINE THEY LOOK IDENTICAL TO WHEN THEY FIRST DID IT. 
          WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS, WE HAVE, I DON'T KNOW FOR STARTED YET WE HAVE A LASER MAPPING OF EVERY ROAD IN THE CITY THAT'S GOING  TO COME IN LIKE A, B, C, D, F, DON'T EVEN WALK ON, THE WHATEVER THE RATING IS. MY QUESTION, THIS IS WHERE I'M TOURING IF WE GET THE INFORMATION BACK HYPOTHETICALLY AND LET'S SAY HUTTO STREET COMES IN AT AN BUT LIVE LOOK COMES IN ADA D, WOULD YOU BE UPSET IF WE HIT THE WORST ROAD FIRST IN OLD 
          TOWN, WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> I WOULD NOT BE UPSET IF YOU STARTED WITH THE SHORTEST STREET IN OLD TOWN. 
          SHORT STREETS GONE, IT DID AWAY WE DID AWAY WITH OUR HISTORICAL 
          STREET. >> I DREW DOWN ANOTHER STREET I DID NOT KNOW IF IT WAS A DRIVEWAY SOMEBODY'S HOUSE THEN I SAW THE ROAD SIGN, THIS ONE HERE, I BRING THAT UP BECAUSE THAT IS A DECISION MAY IMPACT WITH PEOPLE APPEAR DO, WHEN WE GET THAT INFORMATION BACK WE MAY THINK THAT ROAD NEEDS TO GET REPAVED AND THEN WAIT A MINUTE THAT THE BE, I THOUGHT THAT ROAD WAS GETTING INTO DEEP, I REMEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER SUTTON, HER SON HAD ONE WHERE HE COULD DROP A 6-FOOT STICK AND IT GOES 
          [03:00:03]
STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE ROAD. I'M THINKING I'M NERVOUS OF THE DRIVING IS THAT ONE LITTLE BITTY HOLLOW SPOT OR IS THAT AN ENTIRE 
          CAVITY. >> I'VE SEEN SENIOR CITIZENS FALL IN THE DITCHES BEFORE. I'VE SEEN SENIOR CITIZENS MODEM I HATED MID I FOLLOWED IN THE DITCHES BEFORE. 
          THAT'S ONE REASON I'M SO CONCERNED ABOUT IT, I'VE KNOWN YOUNG PEOPLE WALKING THEIR PETS WALKING AROUND OLD TOWN. 
          WE HAVE A BUNCH OF DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THAT ARE IN NEED OF REMEDIATION. THE DITCH SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK. 
          NO ONE ELSE REALLY IN HUTTO HAS IT EXCEPT A FEW AREAS WITH THE BIG DITCH GOING THROUGH IN THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. 
          >> WOULD YOU BE OKAY IF WE GOT THE GRADES AND READJUSTED BASED 
          ON THE GRADES. >> AS LONG AS YOU DO THE ENTIRETY OF OLD TOWN THE 1911 INC. AREA. 
          I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE WHERE IT STARTS, THE EVALUATION DONE BY HEALD LEE AND ASSOCIATES SHOULD START AT LIVE LOOK BECAUSE IT'S A LONGEST ONE WITH THE PARK. AT ONE POINT HAD WE HAD A PERFECT GAME, IT WOULD'VE CONNECTED THERETO. 
          BUT WE DO HAVE LAND, WE HAVE A LOT OF LAND AND WE ARE LEE AND RICH AND HUTTO. THAT WILL BE SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE THAT CAN MAKE A LOT OF MONEY FOR YOU GUYS. 
          >> THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          >> ALL RIGHT ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE BUDGET OR THE 
          ACTION ITEMS FOR THE BUDGET? >> MAYER, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT ITEM 10 .2 RE: ORDINANCE OH-2022, APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF HUTTO FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2022 ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 WITH THE GRAMMATICAL CORRECTIONS 
          THAT YOU HAD MENTIONED. >> IS IT JUST THE ONE. 
          >> ALSO TO MOVE THAT ONE FUND. THE 45000. 
          >> THE STREETS AND DRAINAGE, TWO PARTS. 
          >> THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED WITH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THAT, THE TAX RATE HISTORY CHANGE WE WILL CALL IT, ANOTHER 45000 FROM THE CAPITAL OUTLAY OF PARKS, THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND. IS THAT CORRECT WHAT YOU ARE 
          SAYING. >> THE ONE OTHER FIX WAS THE 2 MILLION, 1 MILLION, THE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT FEE. 
          >> IN THE TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE, ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT ONE? 
          >> ALONG WITH THE 45000 YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE THAT BALANCE AND APPLY IT TO CITY COUNCIL ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? 
          >> LET ME SEE, THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED WITH THE TAX RATE HISTORY CHANGE MOVING THE 45000 FROM THE PARK CAPITAL OUTLAY TO THE PARKS IMPROVEMENT FUND AND MOVING THE 40000 GAIN TO THE CITY COUNCIL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LINE CHANGE IN THE TYPO 
          FOR THE TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE. >> YES. 
          >> WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO SAY THAT? 
          >> IS A CARRYOVER. >> CORRECT THE FUND BALANCE IN THE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT. A MATHEMATICAL AIR. 
          >> STAFF UNDERSTANDS, THAT'S THE IMPORTANT PART. 
          >> YES, WE DO. DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT? 
          >> YES. >> SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER 
          CLARK. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON A 
          BUDGET? >> I WANT TO LET MR. FOWLER KNOW 1.1 MILLION IS IN THE BUDGET FOR LIVE OAK'S, HOPEFULLY WHETHER IT'S 100% DESIGN, MAYBE A FEW LITTLE TWEAKS, THERE IS 1.1 MILLION AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE EXTRA ADDITIONAL REVENUE AS WELL. I KNOW EVERYBODY ELSE IS IN 
          [03:05:01]
SUPPORT OF LIVE OAK AND WANTING TO GET THAT DONE AND CORRECTED. 
          THE BIG ADVANTAGE WITH LIVE OAK, THERE IS A DISAGREEMENT IF IT'S 100% OR 80% ENGINEER. IS THE FURTHEST ALONG AS FAR AS BEING ENGINEERED FOR WHAT WE NEED TO DO. 
          THE CITY MANAGER MADE A GREAT SUGGESTION ON THE ELM STREET PARKING AND WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT THAT AND DO ALTERNATES AND SAY HERE'S WHAT OUR PLANS ARE, I SEE WHAT THE BIGGEST THING IS UNDERGROUND UTILITIES, THE WATER IN THE STORM DRAIN, GETTING THE ADDED AND MAKING SURE IT'S A VERY DRIVABLE 
          STREET, IT'S NOT RIGHT NOW. >> MAY RESPOND WITH ONE QUICK 
          COMMENT. >> WILL JUST LEAVE IT. 
          , THE ONLY OTHER THING I'D SAY I'D LIKE US TO SCHEDULE THE BUDGET WORKSHOP FOR JANUARY AND I WOULD LIKE US AS A COUNSEL TO REALLY DIG IN AND STAFF TAKEN IN TERMS OF A GIANT PLAN FOR IMPROVEMENTS LIKE NO ONE HAS SEEN BEFORE, WHERE WE CAN LITERALLY SAY YOUR SIDEWALK SIR IS GOING TO BE SCHEDULED IN 2025 BASED ON CURRENT BUDGETARY THINGS AND WE COME OUT OF JANUARY WITH A PLAN LIKE THAT, IT HELPS ME, DO WE SELL, WHAT IS THE TAX RATE GOING TO BE AND THEN I TELL PEOPLE, YOU'RE PAYING MORE BUT YOU'RE GETTING A WHOLE LOT, THIS BUDGET, WERE STILL MAKING PROGRESS, I'M REALLY HOPING WITH THE BUDGET ANALYST PERSON WE GO FROM A STEP UP TO ISSUES AND LADDER, WAY UP AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE WOW, TO HELP US WITH HER CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE WILL BE GOING BACK OVER THE NUMBERS AND HAVE AN EXPLANATION IN THE DISCO WINDOW I VOTE. 
          THAT'S WHAT AND HOPING THE ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE MADE WE HAVE TO DO THAT HAVE A BIG PLAN. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE 
          MOTION? >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ANGIE AND YOUR TEAM FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK, I KNOW NEXT YEAR WITH THEIR INPUT AS US GETTING TOGETHER AS A COUNSEL AND MOVING FORWARD WILL BE BETTER AND ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE. 
          THAT WAY WE CAN SERVE THE RESIDENTS OF HUTTO. 
          THANK YOU. >> CRUNCH TIME. 
          WE WILL START EARLIER IN THE BUDGETING PROCESS IN JANUARY SO 
          IT IS NOT COMPRESSED SCHEDULE. >> AND THINK THE URGENT PROJECTS OCCUR WITH THE DEBT AND ALSO CHANGE IN CITY MANAGEMENT, 70 DIFFERENT THINGS. I APOLOGIZE IT WASN'T UP TO THE STANDARDS THAT IT NEEDED TO BE. WE WILL KEEP WORKING ON IT.

          WE HAD IT IN THEIR TO BE IN COMPLIANCE IN CASE I HAPPEN. 
          >> THE ONLY THING IS A RESOLUTION IN THE PACKET THAT DIDN'T HAVE THE NUMBERS IN IT, DO WE NEED TO TELL THEM WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE? WE ARE GOING TO RAISE PROPERTY

          >> SO WE JUST TAKE OUT THE WHEREAS PROVISION. 
          >> WE HAD THAT IN CASE BECAUSE THE FIRST VOTE ON THE TAX RATE WAS HIGHER THAN THE NO NEW REVENUE IN THE PROPOSED RATE WAS. TO BE IN COMPLIANCE STATE LAW REQUIRES THE RATIFICATION OF THE ADDITIONAL TAX REVENUE.

          ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY CHARGE $5 BECAUSE IT'S A FEE OR ATTACKS OR SOMETHING, WE SENT EVERYTHING FROM A BOOK REVENUE, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN LEGALLY CHARGE ANYBODY MONEY AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CHARGE CITY PEOPLE, MAYBE IF YOU LOOK AT THAT AND DO A FREE HALLOWEEN AND GET EVERYBODY INVOLVED. 
          >> THE PARTS OF THE ORDINANCE, THE WORDING IT'LL BE SET BY PROGRAM OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. 
          >> SOME PEOPLE CHARGE HALLOWEEN TAX, MY FEAR THAT LIBRARY WILL CHARGE FOR STORYTIME SO IT WOULD BE BEST MAYBE WE JUST HAVE CITY PROGRAMS AND DO IT FREE AND GET AS MANY PEOPLE HYPED AND INVOLVED, BUT THAT WAS A COMMENT IN A ROAD ON THE BACK, I DIDN'T 
          GET INTO THE BUDGET. >> I HAVE A SNEAKY SUSPICION THE $5 PROPOSED REVENUE PER YARD IS PROBABLY NOT REFLECTED IN THAT 
          BUDGET AS OF RIGHT NOW. >> DULY NOTED. 
          >> IT WON'T AFFECT UNDUE REVENUE. 
          >> WHATEVER EXPENDITURES WORK FOR THAT PROGRAM, FOR THE SIGNS AND AWARDS AND ANYTHING FOR THE JUDGES, I DON'T KNOW WHO IS JUDGING. WE WILL TAKE IT FROM CITY 
          COUNCIL'S BUDGET. >> ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE RESOLUTION? I'M SORRY ON THE BUDGET

          [10.3. Consideration and possible action on Ordinance No. O-2022-047 levying Ad Valorem taxes for the use and support of the municipal government for the City of Hutto for the Tax Year 2022. (Second Reading) (Angie Rios)]
          >> POSSIBLE ACTION ON 2022-047 LATVIAN AD VALOREM ON TAXES FOR THE USE IN SUPPORT OF AND SIMPLE GOVERNMENT FOR THE CITY OF HUTTO 
          OF THE TAX YOU 2022. >> I MAKE A MOTION TO SET THE TAX RATE AT 0.421980 WHICH IS THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE. 
          [03:15:03]
          >> SECOND. >> MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK. 
          SET THE TAX RATE AT 4.21980 WHICH IS A NO NEW REVENUE RATE 
          AND NO ADDITIONAL TAXES. >> I GUESS BY STATE LAW THAT'S 
          WHAT IT MEANS. >> ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? 
          >> I HAVE SOME NOTES AND THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY. 
          I KNOW WE'VE BEEN GOING OVER THIS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND MONTHS. I DON'T THINK ANYONE APPEAR AS ANY PERSONAL VENDETTA SO IF THAT'S THE MESSAGE THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN GETTING IT'S DEFINITELY NOT ACCURATE AT LEAST FROM MY END. IT'S ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING AND I LEARNED A LOT. THANK YOU GUYS. 
          NO ONE WITH A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION WHICH IS ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF HUTTO CITIZENS, NO ONE HAS RECEIVED A TAX HIKE. 
          NO MATTER WHAT WE ADOPTED. EVEN AT THE LAST MEETING WILL BE KIND OF SLICED IN HALF. ON AVERAGE IF WE HAD GONE WITH THE HIGHEST THAT WE COULD'VE TODAY, IT WOULD'VE BEEN ABOUT $130 DECREASE, ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF HUTTO CITIZENS WOULD'VE SEEN A HUNDRED $30 DECREASE WHICH EQUATES TO ABOUT $11 A MONTH WITH NO NEW REVENUE IT'S ABOUT $230 DECREASE WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A 90-DOLLAR A MONTH SAVINGS. 
          I WANTED TO BE VERY, VERY CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC THAT NO ONE APPEAR WAS RAISING, AT LEAST ON THIS VOTE TAXES ON ANYONE AT LEAST WITH THE EXEMPTION. I KNOW THERE ARE OUTLIERS INVENTORS AND I WANTED TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT THOSE STAFF TO HELP PREPARE THE BUDGET HAVING TO BE RENTERS, AT LEAST SOME OF THEM BECAUSE STAFF WAS TRYING TO ALIGN THE CITY'S POCKETS AND ACTUALLY COSTING PUTTING THE BUDGET TOGETHER MORE MONEY AND BETTER THAN ANYONE THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT. 
          I PERSONALLY WANT TO COMMENT ON SOME OF OUR PILLARS THAT KEEP BROUGHT UP AS HIGHEST QUALITY OF LIFE WE HAVE ABOUT HALF THE AMOUNT OF PARKLAND THAT WE SHOULD HAVE, WE ARE PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES, LATER ON IN THE BUDGET WE HAVE ABOUT 29000 MORE DOLLARS HOW TO OPEN UP IF WE END UP OPENING UP IN TRYING TO MITIGATE TRAFFIC AND CALMING TRAFFIC MEASURES. 
          THE LIST OF NEEDS IS IN LIST AT LEAST AT THIS POINT WHERE HUTTO IS. IF WE WANT TO INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO START PUTTING THOSE THINGS IN PROCESS, I HOPE WITH THE PERMITS, 2000 PERMITS FOR 2021 THAT IS ON THE TAX ROLL, HOPEFULLY WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE COMING AND THOSE WILL ALSO BE ADDED TO THE REVENUES AND AS FARMERS GROWING RESPONSIBLY, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO GO AROUND THE CITY AND DO IT SAFELY. THE NUMBERS OF TRAFFIC AND THE NUMBER OF RACKS HAS GROWN EXPONENTIALLY IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS SO THE GROWING RESPONSIBLY DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN THAT WERE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE NO NEW REVENUE, NO NEW REVENUE, NO NEW REVENUE. AND THAT ALSO GOES ALONG WITH FINANCIAL STABILITY, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT SHORTSIGHTED. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS ONE YEAR AND ONE YEAR'S BUDGET. HOWEVER, WE NEED TO BE PLANNING FOR HUTTO OF 2026. WE NEED TO BE PLANNING FOR HUTTO FOR 2025. THAT'S WHERE I AS A COUNCIL MEMBER DO NOT WANT TO BE SHORTSIGHTED SO WERE NOT PUTTING IN THANKS TO JUST TEAR THEM UP IN THREE MORE YEARS. 
          BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE A VISION OR THE INSIGHT, WE WANTED TO ESSENTIALLY 11-DOLLAR A MONTH SAVING AND ONE WAS A 19-DOLLAR A MONTH SAVINGS. A DIFFERENCE OF $8 TO THE POTENTIAL HAS TO BE. I JUST REALLY WANTED TO SAY THERE IS A LOT ON THE TABLE AND A LOT OF ROOM LEFT. 
          I KNOW THAT WE HOPEFULLY HAVE FOUND EXTRA DOLLARS IN EXTRA MONEY IN THE BUDGETING PROCESS. I JUST WANT THAT TO BE VERY CLEAR WITH NO ONE APPEAR IN UNDER THE NUMBERS PRESENTED WERE 
          [03:20:01]
GOING TO BE INCREASED FOR THE THREE QUARTERS OF THE POPULATION FOR THE HUTTO CITIZENS. I KNOW WE HAD OTHER SPEAKERS, AND PEOPLE REACH OUT TO ME THE SAY WE'VE GOT TO GET THESE PROJECTS GOING, WE GOTTA GET THESE PROJECTS GOING. 
          HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE THAT. BIG SHOES TO FILL FOR THE CITY MANAGER AND HOPEFULLY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR IT'LL BE A MUCH DIFFERENT CONVERSATION, LOOKING AT HER PILLARS REALLY THINKING ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS UNDERNEATH IT ALL AND FOR HUTTO OF 2035. 
          >> MY COMMENTS, I JUST WANTED TO EXPLAIN TO THE CITIZENS WHY SUPPORT THE NO NEW REVENUE. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO THINK I WAS NEVER GOING TO GET THERE. 
          I THINK A LOT OF IT WAS BECAUSE I VOTED ORIGINALLY TO SET THE MAX RATE OF 47 CENTS AND AGAIN, LAST WEEK WE SET IT AT 44 CENTS IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, MY INTENT OF THOSE TWO VOTES WAS TO ALLOW US THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE DISCUSSION BETWEEN COUNSEL AND BETWEEN STAFF AND BETWEEN THE CITIZENS. 
          I WANT TO BE ABLE TO COME APPEAR AND LISTEN TO MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE CITIZENS AND HAVE ALL MY OPTIONS OPEN SO I'M NOT MAKING A DECISION AND NOT BEING WILLING TO NEGOTIATE, NOT BE WILLING TO TALK AND NOT BE WILLING TO DO THESE THINGS. 
          I APPRECIATE THE MAYOR AND HIS WILLINGNESS TO TALK TO ME IN THE KIND OF WALK-THROUGH HIS ARGUMENTS WERE NO NEW REVENUE AND FOR HIM TO LISTEN TO WHY I WASN'T THERE AT THE TIME. 
          BUT NOW THAT I'VE SEEN A BUDGET THAT IS BASED ON NO NEW REVENUE, NOW THAT I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE POTENTIALLY VOTED ON LAST WEEK AND THIS IS ABOUT $700,000 WHICH I THINK IN THE OVERALL SCHEME OF THINGS IS NOT THAT MUCH BUT I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE CAN WORK ON HIS COUNSEL NEXT YEAR IS HAVING A WHY BEHIND THE WHAT. AND A LOT OF CITIZENS SAY TO ME I'M WILLING TO PAY MORE IF YOU CAN SHOW ME WHAT I'M GETTING FOR IT. ONE CITIZEN SAID WHAT'S THE EXTRA 2 - $4 A MONTH OR 100 - $200 A YEAR. 
          WHAT AM I GETTING FOR THAT YOU CAN SHOW ME WHAT I'M GETTING FOR THAT, THERE'S NO WAY. I GET THAT. 
          I THINK WE COULD DO A LOT BETTER JOB THIS NEXT YEAR OF EXPLAINING TO THE CITIZENS HERE'S WHAT WE FEEL WE NEED TO SET THE RATE AT AND HERE'S WHY, AND WHETHER THAT'S NO NEW REVENUE OR WHATEVER THAT IS. I'M WILLING TO TAKE THAT CHANCE THIS YEAR THAT NO NEW REVENUE WILL GET US WHAT WE NEED, WE DO HAVE EXCESS FUNDS IN THE GENERAL FUND IN MAY BE JAMES IS GOING TO KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK AND COME TO US IN EIGHT MONTHS AND SAY AYE HAVE A LOT MORE STUFF TO DO. 
          IF THAT HAPPENS WE CAN CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE COME TO IT. 
          WE WILL SEE IF IT REALLY HAPPENS. 
          I'M EXCITED WERE ABLE TO MAKE THIS WORK AND AM VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT BUDGET COME TO US TODAY BASED ON THE NO NEW REVENUE AND WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK AND MAKE IT HAPPEN AND GIVE YOU THE FEW EXTRA DOLLARS BACK TO THE CITIZENS SO THEY CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THESE TOUGH TIMES. THAT'S KIND OF THE WHY BEHIND MY VOTE TONIGHT AND WHERE I'M HEADED. 
          >> ALL SAY THAT THIS IS MY FOURTH BUDGET. 
          MY FIRST BUDGET I WAS NAÏVE, WE STARTED FIRST RATE NOT TO EXCEED AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS I BARELY KNEW WHAT THE SECOND, AND TO CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION AND ALL THE MOTIONS, WE SAID A NOT TO EXCEED RATE THAT WAS A 29% INCREASE. 
          IF YOU REMEMBER WE HAD SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON AND YOU CONFLICT YOUR FINGERS AND WE RAISE TAXES 20 #DISCUSSION WAS OVER. 
          FROM THAT POINT ON I REALIZED IN MY MIND WE SHOULD BE SETTING AT NO NEW REVENUE AND WORKING BACK FROM THEIR. 
          I'M JUST NEVER GOING TO VOTE NOT TO EXCEED FOR THE NEW REVENUE. 
          I ALWAYS THINK WE KEEP FORGETTING THESE BUDGETS EACH OF MY LAST TWO YEARS IN THE CITY WE ADOPTED NO NEW REVENUE OR BETTER THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW AND EACH YEAR WE'VE TAKEN IN OVER $2 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL TAX REVENUE. 
          >> WITHOUT TAKING ON ANY DEBT. >> RIGHT, WE TAKING ON THE MONEY, WE HAVE MORE MONEY THAN WE HAVE PROJECTS. 
          WE HAVE STAFF, IS NOT A FUNCTION OF MONEY OF NOT GETTING THINGS DONE, IT'S MANAGEMENT. IF JAMES PROVES TO BE THE PERSON THAT CAN GET PROJECTS DONE THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE FOR TWO YEARS. 
          THAT'S GREAT. WHEN YOU BUILD A BUDGET AT NO NEW REVENUE, I THINK ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS STAFF 
          [03:25:02]
TO BE EXTREMELY EXCITED. MOST CITIES AUTOMATICALLY RAISE THE RATE, THE MAX THE STATE WILL ALLOW THEM. 
          THEN THEY FILL THE BUDGET. , WE ALL HAVE WANTED WE ALL HAVE NEEDS. THEY FILL IT THAT WAY, THE PARTY COULD END IN A YEAR OR TWO. WHEN IT DOES AND THEY WILL HAVE SOME ROCKETING TO DO. WHEREAS WE STARTED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY THIS CITY STARTED WITH 29% THE HIGHEST TAX RATES AND BURDENS A HOMEOWNER CAN HAVE. 
          WE SLOWLY LOWERED THE BURDEN EACH YEAR. 
          MEANWHILE UNFORTUNATELY WE LAID OFF A THIRD OF THE STAFF, WE'VE BEEN PUTTING BACK POSITIONS ONE BY ONE. 
          IF A RECESSION HITS, THE WRONG CITY AT THE WRONG TIME. 
          HAVE MASSIVE LAYOFFS, MASSIVE CUT SERVICES AND HUTTO WILL BE POSITIONED IN A FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE WAY WHERE IT'LL BE LIKE WE MAY NOT DO THE SIDEWALKS THIS YEAR, WE KEEP IN ALL THE OTHER SERVICES. A LOT OF TIMES ON THE NEXT SIX MONTHS I HOPE TO NOT HAVE THIS FIGHT NEXT YOUR GOD WILLING I'M STILL HERE, IN THE YEAR AFTER THAT FIGHT TO THE NO NEW REVENUE UNTIL SUCH POINT WE CAN HAVE A REALLY GOOD DISCUSSION IN A REALLY GOOD REASON TO GO ABOUT HAVE THOSE HARD DISCUSSIONS ON PRIOR TO SATIATION AND WHAT PROJECTS YOU CAN AND CAN'T DO. 
          WHEN I HEAR IT'S GOOD TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE TO DO IT NEXT YEAR WE SHOULD JUST PULL UP TO HUNDRED $50000 IN KNOCKOUT EVERYTHING, VIRTUALLY YOU CAN EVERY CITY HAS A PROJECT CLOSE TO ITS NEEDS. 
          THAT'S THE HARD PART OF BEING AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, YOU HAVE TO LOOK SOMEONE IN THE EYES AND TELL THEM I'M SORRY WE CAN'T DO YOUR SIDEWALK, THIS BUDGET WERE PUTTING SIDEWALKS IN A MILLION AND A HALF INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S BEEN PROMISED FOR 10 YEARS. WE HAVE MONEY FOR DRAINAGE STITCHES IN ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD I DON'T KNOW WHY THOSE WERE GETTING DONE BUT WERE STARTING TO DO THAT. 
          NEXT YEAR ONE TIME COST IN THIS BUDGET FOR ALL THE STUDIES FOR WHATEVER REASON WE HAVEN'T DONE FOR 10 YEARS. 
          WE HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN MONEY THAT NEXT YEAR THESE ARE ONE-TIME ITEMS AND WILL DEBATE DO WE FINISH UP LAKESIDE, SIDEWALKS AROUND NEIGHBORHOODS, DO WE BUILD ON STREET PARKING UP TO MIKE FELLER'S DOOR, THERE'S A LOT OF CONVERSATION THAT WE GOTTA HAVE. I APPRECIATE YOU WELL AND IF ANYBODY EVER WONDERS HOW I GET TO A THING, JUST A MADE FAMILY HAS TO DO WITH THIS ALSO. I'M SPENDING MONEY AND OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY, I TAKE IT EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY AND I WANT TO PROVIDE THE MOST BUT ALSO KNOW WE HAVE A TON OF PEOPLE MOVING OUT OF THE CITY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT. 
          WHAT WERE DOING HERE ISN'T GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, YOU'RE RIGHT, 75% OF THE PEOPLE DON'T GET A TAX INCREASE IN 25% ARE ABOUT TO GET HIT WITH $200 JUST ON NO NEW REVENUE, NEXT YEAR I'M CONFIDENT IT'S GOING TO SWITCH. I'LL BE TELLING THE PUBLIC THAT THE NO NEW SHARE. THE HOMEOWNERS WITH A TAX INCREASE OF NO NEW REVENUE. IN NON- HOMESTEAD WILL SEE A DECREASE. THAT'S WHY IT WAS SO IMPORTANT FOR ME THE ISSUE BECAUSE NEXT YEAR I DON'T WANT US TO GO WE SHOULDN'T OF DONE THAT. I COULD BE WRONG AND IT COULD BE A TAX CUT NEXT YEAR. BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GOOD TO 
          BE THAT WAY. >> THE ONLY THING I WANTED TO SHARE, I DID SHOW A QUESTION TO WHERE I GOT MY DATA FROM ACROSS FROM THE DATA WHERE IT CAME FROM. 
          THIS NOW POSITION TITLE FOR THE CITY TAXES AS THE LOWEST TAXING RATE CITY IN ALL OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY ONE TO ADJUST FOR THE HOME VALUES I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW, WHERE ARE YOU AT THE BOTTOM, 4219, ROUND ROCK ONE TO LOOK AT THE HOME PRICES, THEY ARE AT 44 ALL OF THE SURROUNDING CITIES ARE AT 55 EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY BE LOWER, THEIR HOMES ARE 700, 800,000, WE HAVE VERY FEW HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE SHOULD BE APPLAUDED THAT WE GOT THERE. BUT ALSO, WE HAVE LARGE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS. 
          I AGREED WITH THE MAYOR AND THAT'S WHAT IT CAME DOWN FROM THE 44, WE NEED TO HAVE THAT STORY TO TELL SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUYING, I THINK THAT'S RESPONSIBLE. 
          AND WE ALSO DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THE PROPERTY TAX REFORM OVER THE NEXT YEAR, HOW DEEP, HOW LONG THE RECESSION WILL BE, WHATEVER WE DID FIND OUT BY TAKING LESS DEBT NOW, IT IS GOING TO COST MORE BUT IS GOING TO COST MORE LIKE 12 YEARS FROM NOW AND WILL BE A LARGER CITY AND WE CAN SHARE THAT BURDEN AND NOT HOPEFULLY HEAD INTO A DEEP RECESSION. 
          I THINK WE ALL CAME TOGETHER AND HAD DIFFERENT VIEWS AND WE FOUGHT HARD TO GET TO THIS POINT. 
          I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD SEE T THAT, WE NEVER VOTED FOR A RATE, 
          [03:30:02]
EVERYONE SAID YOU KEPT VOTING FOR THIS, NO WE CONTINUED THE DISCUSSION TO MAKE SURE WE COULD GET THERE. 
          I DO AGREE WITH THE MAYOR I THINK THAT SHOULD BE A GOAL BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT OTHER NEEDS AND HEAR FROM PEOPLE THAT WANT MORE PARKS AND WANT THE ROADS DONE, WE WILL FORWARD TRADITION, WE COVERED EVERYTHING THAT WE THINK THEY CAN GENERALLY BE DONE WITH THE DEBT SERVICE THAT WE TOOK ON THE MONEY WE HAVE COMING IN AND WE HAVE LARGER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMING IN WHICH I HAVE ALWAYS PUSH FOR, THAT WILL HELP SHIFT THE BURDEN FROM THE HOMEOWNERS WHICH WERE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN LARGE CORPORATIONS. THIS IS A HOLDING PATTERN UNTIL WE CAN GET TO THAT POINT FURTHER. 
          THAT'S THE LAST OF MY COMMENTS. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY WE ENDED APPEAR MY STARTING POINT FOR THE BUDGETING NO NEW REVENUE HAVE TO JUSTIFY WHY YOU HAVE TO INCREASE FROM THEIR. 
          THAT DOES MAKE SENSE AS A WAY TO DO IT. 
          YOU SHOULDN'T ASSUME YOU TO TAKE MORE MONEY, YOU SHOULDN'T ASSUME YOU CAN GIVE THE SAME AN ELECTION THAT THEY GAVE THIS YEAR END BUILD FROM THERE AND IF YOU NEED TO JUSTIFY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT THEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT CASE AND GET PEOPLE TO MOVE 
          OFF THAT NUMBER. >> THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT. 
          WHEN I LOOK AT THE BUDGET WE'VE GOT OVER $100 MILLION THIS YEAR. 
          IT'S A TRAUMATIC INCREASE FROM WHAT THE CITY HAS EVER SPENT IN THE YEAR, THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY AND IT SHOULD GIVE US ALL GREAT AND IS DELIVERING VALUE TO THE CITY ON EVER GETTING THINGS DONE AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE THAT FOCUS CONSTANTLY, THE ENTIRE TIME THAT WE ARE APPEAR IN PEOPLE AND THE PUBLIC TO COME AND SPEAK TO US WHETHER WE AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT AND I AGREE WITH SOME PEOPLE AND I DON'T AGREE WITH OTHERS, I APPRECIATE ALL OF THEM COMING AND LET US KNOW WHAT THEY FEEL ABOUT THOSE ISSUES AND WHAT THEIR CONCERNS WITH AND WHAT THEY SEE. 
          AND GLAD THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE COME OUT AND THEY JUST WANT TO OFFER A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT ON A STICKLER ON THE DETAILS, THE MOTION SPECIFIED THE OVERALL AMOUNT, AND UNDERSTOOD THE IMINO IN THE DEBT SERVICE AMOUNTS BUT THERE IN THE RESOLUTION. 
          I LIKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO STATE SPECIFICALLY THE IMINO RATE IS .2730 IN THE DEBT RATE IS 48.100 TO BE ADDED TO THAT ISSUE BE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. .273880, .148810, ARE YOU OKAY 
          WITH THAT COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK? >> I AM AS WELL.

          I THINK THE CITY MANAGER, TURNER, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AND ALL THESE THAT YOU SEE BACK HERE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE, IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO DO ALL OF THIS IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT HAS COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO EARN YOUR TRUST AND BUILD THE TRUST WITH THE REPORTING ESPECIALLY AS WE GO THROUGH WITH THE NEW DEBT AND WHATEVER INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED ON THAT WILL BE WORKING TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THAT.

          >> GO AHEAD. >> MAYOR COUNCIL, THE CITY MANAGER, THE AGENDA ITEM DID HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THIS TIME AND I'LL DO A HIGH-LEVEL SUMMARY. 
          FIRST OF ALL IN JULY OF 2020 DURANGO FARMS HAD A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS DONE IT WAS PREPARED BY KINLEY HORNING SURE SHIELDS THE TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS WHICH LOOKS AT TRAFFIC AFFECTED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE WERE NO REQUIRED CHANGES OR RECOMMENDATION FOR TRAFFIC MITIGATION TO MAIN STREET OR EAST STREET. DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC, TRAVELING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS IT WAS BEING BUILT, THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED ON JULY 1, 2021 A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER TO PUT UP CONCRETE SAFETY BARRIERS AT MAIN STREET IN EAST STREET TO STOP TRAFFIC INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE WAS THE OPTION IN THE AGREEMENT TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE BARRIERS OF THE CITIES ACTION. WE DID MEET TWICE ON THIS AGENDA ITEM ON JUNE 2 ON THE AUGUST 4 COUNCIL MEETING, COUNCIL DIRECTED TO BRING BACK SAFETY AND CALMLY RECOMMEND BEFORE A TRAFFIC STUDY. OUR RECOMMENDED TRAFFIC SAFETY AND CALMLY MEASURES BEFORE TRAFFIC STUDY ARE BEFORE STREETLIGHTS THESE WILL BE ADDING STREETLIGHTS AT MAIN STREET IN EAST STREET TO THE SUBDIVISION AND WERE IN PROCESS OF GETTING THAT DONE THAT COST IS ABOUT $21000 FOR BOTH. 
          THE SECOND WOULD BE TRAFFIC CIRCLES, THIS WOULD BE AT THE INTERSECTION OF MAIN STREET IN LIBERTY IN HUTTO STREET, THE COST FOR THE TRAFFIC IS 4000 PER INTERSECTION IF DONE IN-HOUSE PLUS COST OF ANY HEAVY MACHINE RENTALS. 
          THE THIRD PART OF THIS PHASE I PLAN WOULD BE A TRAFFIC STUDY ITSELF AND STAFF WILL PREVENT THOSE FINDINGS TO COUNSEL 30 DAYS AFTER THE TRAFFIC HAS BEEN OPEN. 
          WE DO HAVE AN ALTERNATE PHASE I RECOMMENDATION A LOW COST RECOMMENDATION AND THAT IS BASICALLY SWITCHING THE STOP SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTION OF MAIN STREET LIBERTY STREET AND EAST STREET IN HUTTO STREET. WITH THIS SCENARIO THE GATES COULD BE OPENED IMMEDIATELY. OUR PHASE TWO RECOMMENDATION WILL BE BASED ON THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND STAFF WILL COME BACK TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ANY FUTURE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS OR SPEED LIMIT MODIFICATIONS. THOSE WOULD BE ANY OF THOSE I 
          [03:40:04]
MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY OR ALSO MIDBLOCK SPEED TABLES OR ARRAYS PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK THAT WOULD BE MAIN STREET BETWEEN LIBERTY AND DURANGO DOWNS AND EAST STREET BETWEEN LIBERTY AND DURING GO DOWNS. WE DID NOTE IN THE AGENDA ITEM THAT THERE IS NO FUNCTIONAL REASON TO ADD THOSE WITHOUT SIDEWALKS BUT IT COULD BE DONE. THEY COST ESTIMATE IS ABOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS PER CROSSWALK. THE LAST ONE WILL BE INTERSECTION SPEED TABLE RAISED ROADWAY AREA, THIS A BE RAISING THE ENTIRE INTERSECTION OF MAIN STREET IN LIBERTY. 
          EXCUSE ME EAST STREET IN LIBERTY. 
          THOSE WILL COST ABOUT 8000 PER INTERSECTION. 
          LASTLY THE COUNCIL HAD TALKED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AT FM 1560, WE DID CONFIRM THE INTERSECTION WOULD NOT BE FULLY CLOSED IT WOULD JUST HAVE ISOLATED LANE CLOSURES AS THE IMPROVEMENT ARE MADE TO THE INTERSECTION CONSTRUCTION WISE. 
          HOWEVER, WE ARE CONTINUING TO EXPLORE OPTIONS WITH THE DEVELOPER FOR AN ALTERNATE CONSTRUCTION INTERN IF IT IS NECESSARY. I WOULD ADD THAT IN THE AGENDA PACKET, THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES THE SPEED TABLE ARRAYS PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK. 
          THE RACE INTERSECTION AND TRAFFIC CIRCLES AS WELL. 
          COUNSEL THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. 
          I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE MEMBER OF THE 
          PUBLIC. >> THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD -- MR. CHAIR YOU WANT TO SPEAK OR DO YOU WANT TO HEAR US 
          DELIBERATE. >> WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE LIGHTING POLES, THAT SEEMS INDEPENDENT. 
          >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE PUT INTO THIS, I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF TURNING THE STOP SIGNS IF YOU'RE PULLING AND DOING ON THE STREETS. 
          IT'S ALREADY CONFUSING ENOUGH WHEN THERE'S NO STOP ON EAST AND NO STOP ON MAIN STREET. I FEEL LIKE THE FOCUS HAS BEEN CLOSER TO DURANGO AND I THINK IT NEEDS TO GO FURTHER SOUTH ON EIGHTH STREET AS WELL. I'M A FAN OF THE TABLES FOR NOW. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC IN OLD TOWN AND IF WE DECIDE THAT'S ABROAD WE WANT TO GO TO OPEN THOSE, I WOULD ALMOST RECOMMEND ANOTHER ONE AT LIVE OAK OR PECAN. 
          I DON'T WHAT UP WITH THE MONEY INTO DOING SOMETHING ON LIVE OAK IF WERE GOING TO WORK ON THE STREET. 
          IT'S ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS IF WE WERE TO MOVE UP EAST AND LIBERTY AND MAYBE DO A TABLE AT METCALF IS WHAT I'M THINKING. 
          I THINK IT'S GOOD TO TAKE MORE TO SLOW DOWN THE TRAFFIC COMING OUT OF DOWNTOWN AND PROVIDE SAFETY. 
          IT'S A VERY BIG WALKING NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          BUT ANYWAY, THAT IS JUST WHAT I THINK. 
          >> COUNCIL MEMBER, FOR CLARITY, YOU ARE SUGGESTING THAT THE TARGETED INTERSECTION ON EAST STREET IMPROVEMENT BE MOVED FROM 
          HUTTO STREET TO METCALF? >> I THINK THERE SHOULD BE TWO TABLES ON EAST STREET TO SLOW IT DOWN INTERMITTENTLY, THAT'S JUST 
          MY RECOMMENDATION. >> THE ONE IN MAINE AND LIBERTY IS GOOD. I'M FINE WITH THE ONE EAST IN HUTTO STREET BUT IF YOU PUT A SECOND ONE IN ON PECAN, IT WOULD MAKE US DO IT AT LIVE OAK, AND REDOING THE ROADS TO JUST IMPROVE THAT MONEY. WOULD IT MAKE SENSE TO PUT THE MONEY INTO DOING THE SPEED TABLE THERE ON LIVE OAK AND EAST? 
          >> FOR ME IS $10000. >> IF YOU BUILD THE TABLE IN TO 
          THE LIVE OAK PROJECT. >> THESE WILL BE DONE BEFORE WE 
          OPEN THE ROADS. >> NO. 
          >> WAS A QUESTION. >> I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS OPENING UNTIL SAFETY MEASURES WERE IN PLACE. 
          >> THAT THE INTENT TO BUILD THE TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES AND 
          OPEN THE GATES. >> I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS SON. IF YOU SPEND A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO MAKE LIVE OAK MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY FOR A PERIOD OF THE YEAR IT IS $1000. THAT'S ASSUMING THAT THEY MOVED THE GAS LINE AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S GOTTA BE DONE OUT OF LIVE 
          [03:45:03]
OAK ALL THAT HAPPENS ON TIME AND THEN WE HAVE PLANS DONE. 
          IMPORTUNING SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY TO LONG-TERM. IF I COULD SEE IF WE PUT ONE IN AT LEAST IN LIBERTY OR EAST IN HUTTO, MAINE AND LIBERTY WHEREVER IT'S DECIDED THAT YOU PUT THAT IN, I THANK YOU PUT IT IN AN OPEN THINGS UP AND THEN YOU SEE WE START HAVING COMPLAINTS AND YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD MORE. 
          >> OF A CLARIFICATION QUESTION. THE PEDESTRIANS ARE NOT AT THE STREETS, THEIR HALFWAY BETWEEN THE STREETS. 
          >> I WAS GOING TO CLARIFY THAT, THE THOUSAND DOLLAR OPTION THAT IS ARRAYS PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK, GENERALLY SPEAKING MIDBLOCK. 
          THE ONES THAT RAISE THE ENTIRE INTERSECTION, THOSE ARE $8000 
          OPTION. >> IS LIKE THE ONES THAT WE 
          HAVE. >> EXACTLY FROM BOULEVARD UP. 
          FIRST YOU HAD THE FOUR-WAY STOP THAT'S NOT A FOUR-WAY STOP TODAY. THAT IS ARRAYS TABLE FOR THE INTERSECTION AND THE NEXT WHEN YOU HIT IS ARRAYS PEDESTRIAN CROSSING WHICH IS USUALLY WHAT YOU DO TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. 
          THEY CAN BE USED IN CONCERT OR IN COMBINATION ANYWAY THAT THE CITY SEES FIT. I THINK IT'S WISE TO LOOK AT THE DESIGN INCLUDING LIVE OAK FOR SURE. 
          IF THE COUNCIL EVEN WANTS TO SPEND THE $8000 TO DO THE INTERSECTION TODAY KNOWING WHEN WE RECONSTRUCTION WERE GOING TO TEAR IT OUT AND IT MAY BE PAPERS, MAY BE A NUMBER OF THINGS IN THE FUTURE. THAT'S PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE, IF YOU WANT TO BACKUP AND LOOK FOR A SAFE PLACE FOR PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. THERE IS A LACK OF SIDEWALKS SO PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS ARE DIFFICULT TO UTILIZE UNLESS YOU HAVE A PLAN TO RUN THE SIDEWALKS THERE. 
          I WOULD PERSONALLY RECOMMEND IF WERE GOING TO DO ANY TYPE OF RAISE TABLES THAT THEY EFFECTIVELY BE THE INTERSECTION TABLES UNLESS THERE IS A SIDEWALK COMPONENT THAT IS ALLOWING PEDESTRIANS TO CROSS THEIR. 
          >> THAT'S WHY I WAS AGAINST PUTTING IN THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS BECAUSE THERE IS NO CYCLES. 
          IT WOULD BE CONNECTING NOTHING TO NOTHING AND YOU WOULD BE THINKING THERE'S NOTHING ON YOUR SIDE. 
          >> THEY WALK ON THE ROAD, PLAN COMMUNITY. 
          >> THAT DID NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME. 
          THE OPTION I PREFER IS A TRAFFIC CIRCLES, I THINK THOSE WOULD SLOW DOWN TRAFFIC MORE THAN THE TABLES BECAUSE THEY ARE, YOU'RE GOING -- IT'S IN THE ROADS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO AROUND IT AND THAT'S REALLY GOING TO SLOW YOU DOWN MORE THAN I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FLY OVER THE TRAFFIC TABLES IF THEY WANT IN THEIR LAST MONEY, THEREFORE THOUSAND AND 70000 SO YOU COULD DO TWICE AS MANY INTERSECTIONS AND ADD ADDITIONAL INTERSECTIONS AND PUT TRAFFIC CIRCLES AND. 
          >> THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULD DO THIS IN 10 CALENDAR DAYS. 
          MY ONE QUESTION WAS CAN WE DO TRAFFIC CIRCLES ONCE THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES ARE AND WE COULD OPEN THE ROADS. 
          >> THE ONLY THING WAS WE AGREED ON A COUNCIL ONCE THERE IS TRAFFIC MITIGATION EFFORTS TO SLOW THINGS DOWN AND KEEP THOSE ROADS SAFE, THEN WE CAN OPEN THEM. 
          >> THAT THE RECOMMENDATION. >> YOU CAN DO IS SPEED TABLE MIDBLOCK FOR A THOUSAND, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO AN INTER INTERSECTION, YOU CAN DO IT NORTH OF AN INTERSECTION, SOUTH. 
          MY OTHER QUESTION ON THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES, THE ONLY REASON, OBVIOUSLY IF YOU DO IT LIKE THIS IS IN THE CENTER OF AN INTERSECTION. THE ONE IN AND REFORMS I'VE NEVER SEEN A TRAFFIC CIRCLE BUILT SO FAR OFF THE INTERSECTION, YOU GO STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. 
          IF YOU DID THIS, THE INTERSECTION YOU HIT A 
          4000-POUND CONCRETE HIPPO. >> I WANT TO SAY WHEN SOMEBODY DROVE TO THE ONE OUT HERE NOT TOO LONG AGO WEEK OR SO. 
          WE HAD AN 18-YEAR-OLD DRIVE OVER THAT, AS IS TRAFFIC CIRCLE BIG ENOUGH TO PUT 4000 POUNDS OF CONCRETE TO THE MIDDLE OF WHERE THE PERSON DOES THAT AGAIN OR WILL IT BE THE GUYS CAN COME 
          BACK OUT IN A WEEK. >> IT WOULD BE COOL TO HAVE A 
          HIPPO IN THE CENTER. >> I RECALL -- I RECALL WAYNE SAYING THAT THE INTERIOR CIRCLE, NOT THE OUTER DIAMETER BUT THE INTERIOR CIRCLE IS 8 FEET. YOU HAVE 8 FEET DIAMETER IN THE CENTER CIRCLE TO BE ABLE TO PUT A MONUMENT, TO YOGI BEAR IF YOU 
          [03:50:04]
WANT, JUST KNOW THAT WILL SLOW DOWN DRUNK DRIVERS AS WELL. 
          >> THAT'S ALL I SUGGESTED WE DO A TRAFFIC CIRCLE IT'S GOTTA BE SMALLER HIPPO I THINK WE HAVE THE MOLD FOR THE ONE THAT'S OUT FRONT. PUT A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY IMPORTED INTO HER, VIRTUALLY I DON'T LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO PUT SOMETHING OF THE PEOPLE WILL DRIVE OVER. 
          >> I'M IN FAVOR OF THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE JUST BECAUSE THERE IS CONTINUITY TO IT IT CONNECTS THE NEIGHBORHOODS, THE DURANGO AND OLDTOWN IN TRAFFIC WILL FLOW EASILY, THAT'S WHY I'M IN FAVOR OF IT. I LIKE THE TABLES AS WELL THE REALLY NICE LIKE THE ONES OUT THERE, HOWEVER, DUE TO THE LACK OF SIDEWALKS IN THE AREA IT KIND OF DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. 
          MAYBE IN THE FUTURE WHEN OLDTOWN GETS RENOVATED IN A WHOLE FACELIFT IN THE DRAINAGE STREETS, SIDEWALKS, EVERYTHING, I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER, THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE, 
          NOT ROUNDABOUT. >> THANK YOU IT WOULD BE A GREAT 
          TOUCH. >> HAVING LARGE HIPPOS WOULD BE MORE DISTINCTIVE AND CREATE SOMETHING UNIQUE WHEN PEOPLE COME THROUGH. WHO KNOWS MAYBE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD COULD ADOPT THAT HIPPO AND PAINTED AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD OR IF IT'S A HISTORICAL E AREA FOR THAT PARTICULAR PART OF HUTTO. 
          IN ITALIAN WITH A 20 - 40 PLAN OF THE HIPPO WAY OF LIFE. 
          I'M ALL ABOUT ANYTIME WE CAN MAKE POINTS BETWEEN OUR ADOPTED 
          CITY MASCOT. >> WE HAVE STRAW HATS WE COULD 
          THROW ONE. >> WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF FARM IMPLEMENTS. YOU CAN PUT A MASSIVE TRACTOR 
          PIECE. >> ALL START WITH THE THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE, I DIDN'T LIKE CHANGING THE STOP SIGNS. 
          THE ONE LIBERTY IS COMPLETELY COUNTER TO WHERE THE TRAFFIC IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE GOING. WILL BE TICKETED TO THE STREET THAT HAS NO TRAFFIC AND BLOCKING THE STREET THAT HAS 99% OF THE TRAFFIC THERE. THE ONE HUTTO STREET, THAT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE MORE BALANCED AND MAKE MY CUT THROUGH TO 
          16 - 16 FASTER. >> I THINK IS REALLY CLEAR THERE 
          IS GREAT IDEAS. >> IS GOTTA FINISH. 
          >> I'M KINDA BETWEEN LIKING THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES IN THE RACE INTERSECTIONS, ONE OF THOSE IS THE RIGHT ANSWER, I'M NOT REALLY OPPOSED TO EITHER, I THINK WHATEVER WE DO HERE IS ALMOST AN EXPERIMENT BECAUSE I THINK WERE KIND OF SETTING A PRECEDENT AND IF ORGANIST START RECONSTRUCTING ROADS AND OLDTOWN, WHATEVER WE DO IF WE LIKE IT REALLY DO IT ALL THROUGH OLDTOWN AND IF WE DON'T LIKE IT WILL GET TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT WE START REBUILDING LIVE OAK OR WHATEVER WE REBUILD. 
          BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO END UP DOING SOMETHING THROUGH A LOT OF INTERSECTIONS AND OLDTOWN NOT EVERY SINGLE ONE BUT THROUGH A LOT OF THEM TO HELP CONTROL THE TRAFFIC WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THE 
          ROOFS. >> AGOOD POINT. 
          >> I WANT TO START UP BY SAYING THESE ARE GOOD IDEAS BUT THEY DON'T REALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM NOW. 
          ALSO, I DON'T WANT TO BE CONSIDERED A GUINEA PIG. 
          OUR COMMUNITY IS NEW BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE A GUINEA PIG, LET'S TRY THIS, LET'S TRY THAT. I REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHY I THINK THE LOW ALTERNATIVE COST BY ADDING THE STOP SIGN, GETTING ACTUALLY OPEN IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO. 
          TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ABOUT ME, I ADVOCATE FOR SMART AND FACTUAL SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS EVERYDAY AND DIGITAL APPLICATIONS. I MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND COST AND EFFORT OF THE BUSINESS. 
          ONE THING THAT I'M NOTICING THAT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS, HUTTO IS SOLVING THIS PROBLEM BY USING EMOTIONAL ASSUMPTIONS RATHER THAN FACT. WHEN WE SEE ASSUMPTION BUILDING IN YOU ASK, IT TYPICALLY MEANS IT HAS TO BE REDONE. 
          YOU DON'T KNOW FACTUALLY WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. 
          OUR SITUATION HERE IS NO DIFFERENT, WE ARE ASSUMING IT'S GOING TO BE A DECLINE IN ROAD QUALITY, WE ARE ASSUMING THERE IS GOING TO BE HEAVY TRAFFIC, SPEEDING, CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC, THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE ARE ASSUMING. 
          HOWEVER, WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO OCCUR OR NOT. BECAUSE WE ARE PREVENTED FROM LOOKING AT THE FACTS WHICH IS ACTUALLY OPENING THE GATES. 
          THEY ARE STILL CLOSED, WE DON'T KNOW. 
          TO THOSE WHO WERE KIND OF, ASSUMING A DECLINE IN ROAD QUALITY, HEAVY TRAFFIC AND SPEEDING WERE ALREADY USING DOWNTOWN STREETS, I HATE TO ADMIT THAT TO YOU, WERE NOT 
          [03:55:02]
OPENING THE STREET TO 130, WE ARE ASKING FOR ABOUT 30, 25 HOMES OF INDIVIDUALS. WITH WORKING PROFESSIONALS AND FAMILIES WERE KNOCKING TO GO BLAZING THROUGH DOWNTOWN. 
          VC INDUSTRY QUALITY WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE FOR THE STREET QUALITY. 
          I JUST WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW, I'VE HAD PEOPLE ALMOST SMASHED INTO THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I'M TRYING TO TURN LEFT ON 1660 BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE COMING TOWARDS ME AT 55 MILES PER HOUR, 55 RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE NOT PAYING ATTENTION, IT IS VERY SCARY I PROMISE YOU THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT THERE SOON BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE CONSTRUCTION DONE YET. 
          I JUST ALSO WANT TO ADMIT IF THIS IS SUCH A PROBLEM, WHY ARE WE NOT BILLING OUR NEW STREETS, WIRE THE SPEED BUMPS NOT READY, THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS THAT WERE HAPPENING PRIOR TO OUR NEW COMMUNITY BEING BUILT, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE PENALIZED FOR LACK OF CLEANING AND A LACK OF ACTION. 
          THE OTHER THING I WANT TO MENTION IS CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC, IT'S VERY SIMPLE, PUT UP WITH NO CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC ON THE EAST AND MAIN STREETS OF 79 AND CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC TO 1660, IF THEY DON'T READ IT WE CAN RECOMMEND THEM BUT I PROMISE YOU THEY HAVE RESPECT FOR OUR COMMUNITY, THEY HAVE BEEN DOING ALREADY, THEY HAVE RESPECT FOR HUTTO, WE JUST HAVE TO TELL T THEM. THE OTHER THING I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE LOW COST ALTERNATIVE IS THE MOST VIABLE PRODUCT FOR EVERYBODY LIVES ON TRADEWINDS. 
          WE OPENED IT UP IMMEDIATELY WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM AND THAT WE CAN VALIDATE A SOLUTION IF IT'S TRAFFIC CIRCLES, WHATEVER WAREHOUSED EVIDENCE IN ITS FACT IT WERE NOT SPENDING RESOURCES AND MONEY ALL THE. I JUST WANT TO GET ONE LAST EXAMPLE, I KNOW A LOT OF TIME AND I ALSO WAITED UNTIL 11:00 P.M. THINK OF IT LIKE YOU PREVENTED YOUR CHILDREN FROM PLAYING OUTSIDE, YOU ASSUME THEY'RE GOING TO GET HURT SO YOU DON'T LET THEM PLAY. 
          THEN HOW WILL YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET HURT OR NOT UNLESS YOU LET THEM PLAY. IT'S KIND OF A SILLY ODD PAR PARADOX. WE LEARN BY DOING AND THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR THIS EVENING, WE TAKE ACTION AND STOP FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY DIVIDING OF OLD AND NEW HOW HUTTO. AMANDA ADVOCATE FOR THE CITY AND I LOVE THE CITY. I PURCHASED A HOME HERE FOR THAT. I JUST WANT THERE TO BE SMART CHOICES HERE AND THE ABILITY TO USE THE STREET TO GET HOME. 
          THANKS. >> YOU SHOULD'VE SPOKE FIRST, 
          THAT WAS REALLY GOOD. >> WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN? 
          >> CARA. >> I APOLOGIZE IF I WOULD'VE KNOWN YOU WERE HERE FOR THIS I WOULD'VE MADE A MOTION TO MOVE THIS UP. I AM SORRY. 
          >> I WANTED TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE'S TWO OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE HERE AND THEY AND VIRTUALLY HAD TO LEAVE THEIR FAMILIES. I DON'T, I JUST HANG OUT BUT IT'S DEFINITELY BEEN A PROBLEM FOR US AND WE'RE NOT TRYING TO SPEED THROUGH DOWNTOWN LIKE SOME PEOPLE MENTIONED. 
          WERE FAMILIES TO WE JUST WANT TO GET HOME I'VE GONE DOWN THE STREET TO GO BY 20 MILES AN H HOUR, NOT EVEN I USUALLY GO 15 YOU CANNOT GO FAST ON THOSE WORDS ANYWAYS. 
          >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> I'LL BE HONEST I DO THINK THE EXAMPLE IS A PRETTY GOOD EXAMPLE. IT DOES MAKE ME WONDER, BEFORE I WOULD NOT OF BEEN IN FAVOR OF THE COMMON MAJORS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING SO I DO THINK STAFF IS PUT AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF EFFORT INTO THIS WHEREAS NOT KNOCKING THE EFFORT BEFORE BUT I DID NOT SEE IT. NOW I SEE A PLAN OR IDEAS POTENTIALLY IF WE OPENED IT UP WITH NOTHING AND YOU COME BACK A WEEK LATER AND IS WHAT WE THOUGHT OF. 
          WE HAVE A PLAN WE CAN MOST MAKE A MOTION TODAY THAT YOU CAN OPEN IT UP, BARRING SOME ISSUES, HERE'S THE ROUTE WE WANT THE CITY TO GO AND WE VERY ALLOCATED IT. 
          WHEREAS BEFORE, IF WE OPENED UP WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COME BACK AROUND. 
          I DO THINK THERE'S A POSSIBILITY YOU COULD OPEN IT UP AND IN THE INSTANCE THAT WE HAVE, WE START HAVING ISSUES, CITY COUNCIL, PUBLIC COMMENT CAN SAY WE APPROVED YOU TO DO IS TRAFFIC CIRCLE WERE SPEED TABLE OR WHATEVER, I WITNESSED SOMETHING AND IF YOU DON'T GET THE HINT WE CAN USUALLY HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM AND HAVE THEM OUT THERE WITH THE MEETING. 
          I JUST THROW THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE I KNOW IT DOES MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A SENSE, A LOT OF SINCE THAT WE WERE THINKING MAYBE WE ARE DOING THIS EMOTIONALLY. 
          I DO STILL THINK THERE WILL BE TRAFFIC THAT COMES TO THEIR. 
          BUT I DO THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO SEE THE PROBLEM ALMOST AS A TEST KNOWING ONE INTERSECTION IS A TRAFFIC CIRCLE ONCE THE SPEED TABLE AND FIND OUT WHICH WORKS THE BEST. 
          THE SPEED TABLES ARE WAY TO GO IN THE ROUNDABOUT AND THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE IS COMPLICATED THE WHOLE CONVERSATION. 
          [04:00:06]
          >> AT THE GET IS AWESOME. I'M ACTUALLY ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS I LIVE ON EAST STREET IN HUTTO STREET. 
          I THINK ABOUT YOU GUYS ALL THE TIME. 
          THIS REALLY, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. 
          THE REASON THEY ARE CLOSED IS CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC WAS GOING THROUGH OUR STREETS. I HAVE PICTURES AND EVERYTHING AND IF THE PEOPLE WERE HERE THEY WOULD TELL YOU THEIR STORY TOO. 
          THEY LIVE ON THE CORNER OF MAIN STREET, THE PURPLE HOUSES THERE'S. IT DOES MAKE SENSE IF WE CAN GET SOME OF THIS MITIGATION IN THEIR QUICKLY. 
          MY CONCERN FOR THE RESIDENCE IN DURANGO. 
          AS SUCH AS YOU GUYS HAVING ACCESS, IS EVERYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO BYPASS THAT WILL HAVE ACCESS THROUGH YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL. THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY I WAS LOOKING AT IT, HOW CAN WE SLOW THEM DOWN TO GET THEIR ATTENTION AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO GO OUT AT MAKER TO GET TO ALIGHT TO EXIT DURANGO. THAT IS JUST WHAT'S GOING TO 
          HAPPEN. >> JAMES, WHERE WOULD THIS MONEY COME FROM, HOW ARE WE PAYING FOR THIS? 
          >> EFFECTIVELY YOU JUST ADOPTED A NEW BUDGET, CONGRATULATIONS COUNSEL WHAT WE WILL BE IN FROM THE STREET BUDGET AND THEN IF WE END UP NEEDING FROM THE RESERVES OR SOMETHING ELSE LATER ON IN THE YEAR, THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE COULD POTENTIALLY BUT THEN THAT WOULD AFFECT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT GETS CARRIED OVER. 
          EITHER WAY, IT'LL COME FROM THE BUDGETED DOLLARS, WE DO BUDGET FOR REGULAR ROAD MAINTENANCE AND THIS IS NOT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WERE TALKING ABOUT. 
          THIS WOULD EASILY I WANTED TO OPEN TRY TO TURN IN THERE IS MORE TRAFFIC THAN WE CAN AVOID THE GOING THAT WAY WERE THERE GOING TO COME OUT AND GO THROUGH A TON IN A TREATMENT QUESTION DID THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, IT SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD'VE BEEN DONE IN THE CITY VACUUM WHEN YOU ASKED FOR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT 
          AGENCY ON THAT ONE. >> IT WASN'T THE POLICE RECOMMENDATION, THE LOW COST ONE WE WERE JUST GIVING AS STAFF AND POLICE ENFORCE WHATEVER WAY THE COUNCIL GOES. 
          JUST TO CLARIFY ITS PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING WE ARE THE ONES THAT WOULD MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. GENERALLY SPEAKING I HAVE SEEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE CHIEF GET PULLED IN WHATEVER CITIZENS ARE REQUESTING A POTENTIAL CHANGE, WHATEVER THE LEGISLATIVE BODY IS REQUESTING THE CHANGE, THE PROFESSIONALS THAT DETERMINE WHERE THE SIGNS GO IN WHICH OPTION TO USE OR PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING. IT WAS PUBLIC WORKS THAT CAME UP WITH THE FIRST PROPOSAL OF BEING ABLE TO SWITCH THE DIRECTION OF THE TWO SIGNS THAT'S FUNDAMENTALLY TO GOVERNMENT TO STOP TO A FOUR-WAY STOP REQUIRES A TRAFFIC STUDY WHICH IS WHAT THE CITIZEN IS SPEAKING ABOUT. IF YOU OPEN UP THE GATES, YOU MEASURE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC, WHERE THEY ARE GOING, WHICH ONES ARE TURNING RIGHT AND WHAT THE SPEED IS THERE TRAVELING AND ALL THAT TYPE OF STUFF. THEN USUALLY THE PROCESS YOU COME BACK WITH RECOMMENDATIONS. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THE COUNCIL DID ASK STAFF TO COME UP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS AHEAD OF ANY TYPE OF DATA GATHERING SO THE WAY I INTERPRETED YOU ALL COULD HAVE A LEVEL OF COMFORT KNOWING THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENT A QUICKLY SHOULD THEY NEED BE OR WE COULD IMPLEMENT THEM PRIOR TO OPENING THE GATES, EITHER WAY. 
          >> EVEN MORE SO THE POLICE WAITING AND I WOULD BE CONCERNED WITH WAITING IN IN THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES AND SMALL STREETS AND 
          BEING ABLE TO MAKE LEFT TURN. >> TRAFFIC CIRCLES BY CODE HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN TURN RADIUS. THE FIRE CODE PLAYS A BIG PART 
          [04:05:06]
INTO THE DATA WING CALCULATED THE MINIMUM INTERIOR WIDTH COULD 
          BE 8 FEET. >> I BELIEVE THAT THEY USE -- 
          >> WE COULD HAVE USED YOU HERE LAST MONTH. 
          >> THE QUESTION DO WE GO WITH SWITCHING THE SIGNS TOMORROW AND OPEN THE GATES TOMORROW OR 10 CALENDAR DAYS AND DO THE TRAFFIC 
          [INAUDIBLE] >> IF I CAN I WOULD LIKE TO DO THE 10 CALENDAR DAYS, IT'S A WEEK AND A HALF AND I LIVE IN THE BACK OF A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD BEING BUILT INTO IT, THE CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS DO NOT STOP FINES, WE HEARD COUNTLESS PEOPLE COME UP, FOR ME THIS IS NOT AN EMOTIONAL DECISION, THIS WAS A PROMISE WE ALL HAD MADE AS A COUNSEL TO HAVE THESE NIPPED IN THE BUD BEFORE WE OPEN THE FLOODGATES. 
          MTBF SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS A REALLY AWESOME POTENTIAL HERE TO REALLY MAKE THESE TRAFFIC CIRCLES BE ALMOST LIKE A BEAUTIFICATION EFFORT OR A HIP AWAY AND WE CAN RALLY AROUND AND IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE REALLY PROUD OF. 
          TO ME IT'S MUCH MORE OF A BEAUTIFICATION, I THINK IT CAN REALLY BE A ANOTHER FOCAL POINT OF DOWNTOWN THAT COULD BRING SOME. I FEEL LIKE 10 DAYS IN THE TREE AND SCHEME OF THINGS, MAYBE IT'S 11 DAYS, MAYBE IT'S NINE BUT UNDER TWO WEEKS TO HAVE BOTH RINGO OPEN AND ASKED TO HAVE KEPT HER PROMISE AND HOPEFULLY HAVE THESE AS WELL, I THINK THAT'S NOT A NEW DOOR BEEN AMOUNT OF TIME. 
          FOR ME AND FOR PUTTING THE LIGHTS IN THE TWO TRAFFIC 
          CIRCLES IN THE STUDIES. >> THE SPEED TABLES ARE THREE DAYS, EVEN FASTER. I KINDA LIKE THE SPEED TABLES EVEN BETTER THAN TRAFFIC CIRCLES. 
          >> I THINK THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES WILL ENCOURAGE INSTRUCTION 
          TRUCKS NOT TO DRIVE DOWN TO. >> THEN YOU LOSE A BEAUTIFICATION. I THINK WE CAN REALLY CAPTURE 
          SOMETHING REALLY NEAT THERE. >> IS TEMPORARY. 
          >> WE DID NOT BUDGET FOR BEAUTIFICATION IN THE MIDDLE. 
          THAT IS NOT THE PROPOSAL. >> THERE REALLY COULD BE SOME GOOD VISION, SPEED TABLES. AT THE SAME TIME. 
          >> YOU DO HAVE THE DURANGO COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT YOU COULD 
          USE TOWARDS THIS PROJECT. >> $2 MILLION. 
          >> IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE. >> LET ME SEE IF I CAN ADD SOME FOCUS TO WHAT WERE DOING. I MAKE A MOTION TO INSTALL THREE TRAFFIC CIRCLES, ONE AT MAINE IN LIBERTY STREET, ONE EAST AND HUDDLE STREET AND ONE EAST AND LIVE OAK STREET. 
          AND HAVE THOSE INSTALLED WITHIN THE SEPTEMBER AND UPON INSTALLATION OPEN UP BOTH STREETS. 
          >> SECOND THAT. >> PETE ARE YOU WANTING TO 
          INCLUDE. >> TO DO IT SEPARATELY, BUT TO 
          INCLUDE THE LIGHTING. >> I ASSUME THE LIGHTING IS 
          GOING TO WORK THE MATTER WHAT. >> I THINK WE HAVE TO INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECOMMENDED PHASES. 
          >> IF YOU'RE USING IT FOR DURANGO BEAUTIFICATION I WANT TO INCLUDE THAT WE GET SOME KIND OF HIPPO STATUARY. 
          >> I JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT THE TWO WEEK TIME LIMIT AND ADD HIPPO BECAUSE THAT MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME. 
          >> THAT'S NOT GOING TO REQUIRE THEM TO BE OPEN BUT AS PART OF THE ADOPTION WERE GOING TO SPEND THE MONEY. 
          >> IF I HEARD IT RIGHT, THE MOTION IS THREE TRAFFIC CIRCLES EASTON HUDDLE IN EASTON LIVE OAK. 
          >> APP. >> MADE BY GORDON, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SUTTON AND YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE ADDING HIPPOS IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM. 
          >> YES BUT THAT'S NOT A GATE FOR OPENING THE DURANGO. 
          >> CAN WE AMEND THAT TO ASK STAFF TO BRING BACK A PROPOSAL TO ASK HIPPO, I DON'T JUST ONE APPROVE HIPPOS. 
          >> I WOULD SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO IT BUT. 
          >> THE OTHER ONE WAS TO ADD THE LIGHTING. 
          >> A FRIENDLY MOMENT, BRING BACK HIPPO COST AND ADD LIGHTING. 
          >> ADD LIGHTING NOW AND BRING BACK A PROPOSAL FOR HIPPO. 
          >> I DID HAVE A TIMEFRAME, IS IN THE MONTH ENOUGH TIMEFRAME. 
          [04:10:03]
          >> YOU SAID 10 CALENDAR DAYS, I KNOW I ADDED 13. 
          >> AND I ASK ROBIN, WHAT DID YOU SAY THE REASONING BEHIND DOING A 
          LIVE OAK ONE. >> BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER STOPPING, NO OTHER MITIGATION TO SLOW PEOPLE DOWN AFTER THEY LEAVE DOWNTOWN SO PUTTING IN ANOTHER ONE EITHER AT METCALF OR LIVE OAK BUT I'M FINE WITH LIVE OAK IN DOING IT THERE, IT MAKES 
          SENSE. >> I THOUGHT LIVE OAK. 
          >> DON'T DOESN'T LIVE OAK OR TO HAVE A STOP SIGN? 
          >> NOT GOING NORTH OR SOUTH THERE IS NO STOP SIGN. 
          THE ONLY GO EAST AND WEST. >> ARE YOU DOING THE DIGGING AND 
          YOU HAVE IT DONE IN 10 DAYS? >> WILL WORK AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. WITH ANY CONSTRUCTION THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF TIME BEFOREHAND AND WEATHER PERMITTING BUT WILL WORK AS FAST AS POSSIBLE BY GETTING THEM INSTALLED. 
          >> IN CASE THE LIGHT POLES ARE NOT AVAILABLE I DON'T WANT THAT GATE OPENING DURANGO, I WANTED TO BE PUT IN. 
          THEY CAN ORDER AND SAY IT'S GOING TO TAKE THREE MONTHS 
          BEFORE HE COULD GET PUT IN. >> UNDERSTAND. 
          >> THIS IS KEEPING THE GATES LOCKED UNTIL THE INSTALLED. 
          >> JUST THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES. >> MAIN AND LIBERTY. 
          >> INTO ALL THREE? OR DO YOU WANT TO ALLOW. 
          >> IF YOU GET THE ONE MAIN OPEN AND THE ONE EAST STREET. 
          >> NOT THAT BOTH INTERSECTIONS UNTIL ALL THREE ARE DONE. 
          >> COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYOR PRO TEM, YES, THAT IS THE THINGS THE STAFF DO, ONCE WE HAVE THAT GATE YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL, WE HEAR YOU, GET THE CIRCLES IN, OPEN UP THE GATES AND THEN WE WILL BE MEASURING DATA AS WELL WITH THE PUBLIC BENEFIT AND WERE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE MEASURING DATA TO SEE IF WE COULD DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. 
          >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >> IS NOT DOING MUCH DIGGING. 
          >> ANY QUESTIONS ON EMOTION? HEARING ON PLEASE CALL THE BOOK. 
          >> COUNCIL MEMBER KINSEY. >> AYE. 
          >> COUNCIL MEMBER KOHLER. >> NÉE. 
          >> COUNCIL MEMBER THORTON. >> AYE. 
          >> MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON. >> AYE.
