I'M THRILLED AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME COUNCILMEMBERS.
KIND OF WHAT MAYOR SNYDER IS SAYING. A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS RIDE MOTORCYCLES FOR DAILY TRANSPORTATION. I AM AN MC SO WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE IN THE FACT IS WE WRITE BUT WE ALSO RESPOND. WHEN THIS ONE BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION WE JUMPED ON IT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE WE ALSO SEE THE SIDE OF WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T MAKE IT HOME. I ENCOURAGE YOU AND IN OUR OPENING PRAYER IF YOU HAVE HIGH SCHOOLERS WERE NEW DRIVERS ENCOURAGE THEM TO BE AWARE. TAKE THE STEPS TO NOT BE DISTRACTED AND PUT THEIR PHONES DOWN BECAUSE WE ARE FATHERS, MOTHERS, SISTERS AND BROTHERS WE'RE TRYING TO GET HOME TO KIDS. IT'S NOT JUST A JOYRIDE.

[6. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS]
>> THANK YOU. FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME BRIAN THOMPSON TO THE COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON WAS SWORN IN TO OFFICE THIS WEEK AFTER BEING ELECTED BY HUTTO VOTERS ON THE CITY COUNCIL. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO WELCOME BACK MAYOR PRO TEM PETER GORDON. HE WAS REELECTED THE PLACE FOR. MAY 30 THROUGH JUNE 6 AND THE RUNOFF ELECTION IS THE DAY SATURDAY, JUNE 10. IT WAS.
SUPPORT WHILE ALSO ALLOWING MEMBERS OF LAW-ENFORCEMENT, SURVIVORS AND CITIZENS TO PAY HOMAGE TO THOSE THAT PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE OF DUTY. WE HAD AT LEAST ONE OFFICER HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK POLICE
OFFICERS FOR PROTECTING AND SERVING THE COMMUNITY. >> I ALREADY GOT THE BIG PAT ON THE BACK FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS GUYS. MY COMMENT FOR PARDONING AFTER THE PROCLAMATION THAT NEXT WEEK IS NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK SO IN ADDITION TO TAKING A MOMENT TO REFLECT BACK ON THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT THEY DO FOR THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND WHAT THE DIRECTOR WAS SAYING IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THEY MAINTAIN AND PROTECT AND CARE
[00:15:03]
FOR AND WHAT THE MAYOR WAS ALLUDING TO IS IF THAT WATER LINE BREAKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT OR IF THE CONTRACTOR BORES INTO THE WATER LINE AT 3:00 ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON THOSE GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE OYED TO STAY THERE UNTIL THE REPAIR GETS FIXED.THERE'S BEEN AT LEAST TWO TIMES WHERE THE WATER LINE BREAKS OF SIGNIFICANT MAGNITUDE THAT EDUCATORS FIND THAT GONE THROUGH THE NEXT DAY. CREWS WORK FROM 24 TO 30 HOURS IN ORDER TO REPAIR THOSE. ALSO THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM AND THE ROADS AND THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THE RED LIGHTS GO OUT WITH ANY NUMBER OF THINGS THE PUBLIC WORKS DONE TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY RUNNING SMOOTHLY. WE JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE ELSE THAT THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BECAUSE PART OF PUBLIC WORKS RESPONSIBILITY IS HELPING TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY CLEAN. AS WE FOCUS MORE AND MORE ON THE WATER QUALITY AND THE THINGS IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE TRASH AND ILLEGAL DUMPING IN THESE TYPES OF THINGS IS GOING TO BE A FOCUS ON OUR CREEKS.
THERE'S A NUMBER OF VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADOPTING SEGMENTS OF ROADS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. WITH NEXT WEEK SOCIAL MEDIA WITH VARIOUS THINGS YOU CAN DO
TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. >> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SPECIAL EVENTS THAT ARE COMING UP WORTH NOTE. THE FIRST ONE IS A SUNSET BLOCK PARTY ? WHICH IS NEXT FRIDAY EVENING MAY 26 OUT HERE AT THE TOWN GREEN. IT'S THE VERY FIRST MAJOR EVENT THAT WILL BE HELD AT THE CO-OP THINGS TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL. WE DO WANT TO INVITE THE PUBLIC TO COME OUT AND ENJOY THE SPLASH PAD WITH LIVE MUSIC ON THE CO-OP STAGE. THERE WILL BE GAMES AND RELAXING. BRING CHAIRS OR COOLERS JUST DON'T BRING GLASS BECAUSE IT'S ARTIFICIAL TURF AND WE DON'T WANT BROKEN GLASS TO BE LEFT BEHIND TO CUT LITTLE FEET.
WHILE WE ARE THERE BECAUSE IT'S MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND THERE WILL ALSO BE A REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY FROM THE AMERICAN LEGION HONORING THOSE THAT WERE KILLED IN ACTION SERVING OUR COUNTRY.
IN HONOR AND REMEMBRANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY FACILITIES WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, MAY 29.
TOP NOTCH WILL HOLD SUCH OFFICIAL OPENING PARTY THEY BEEN DOING REALLY WELL ENOUGH AND OPEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT THIS IS THEIR OFFICIAL COMING-OUT PARTY IF YOU WILL TO THE COMMUNITY. THEY WILL KICK OFF THEIR GRAND OPENING PARTY AT 5:00 P.M.. AN HOUR BEFORE IT REALLY STARTS TO GET CHRISTOPHE. THEY ARE PARTNERING WITH THE CITY TO COORDINATE THAT. THEN ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 31 SO BE AN EVENT THAT MARKS A NEW DAY FOR THE CITY OF HUTTO. WE'VE SCHEDULED THE BROWN BREAKING CEREMONY FOR THE FIRST GROUNDBREAKING PROJECT ON THE FIRST OF MANY MORE TO COME. I THINK THAT'S TRULY WORTH CLAPPING FOR. THIS IS A GROUNDBREAKING PERIOD WILL BE IN DOWNTOWN HUTTO AT 1660 NORTH IN US 79. IT WILL BE RIGHT ACROSS FROM WHERE THE FARMERS MARKET AND THAT STUFF GOES ON. THE FESTIVITIES RUN FROM 4:30 P.M. TO 6:40 P.M. AND OVERLAPS WITH THE FARMERS MARKET AT THE SAME TIME. THE CEREMONY ITSELF WOULD START AT 5:30 P.M. SHARP. IT'S NOT TO BE AN ORDINARY GROUNDBREAKING.
IN ADDITION TO THE TRADITIONAL PROGRAM PEOPLE STANDING WITH SHOVELS AND THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR FAMILIES AND FOR THE COMMUNITY TO CELEBRATE WITH BOUNCE HOUSES, LIVE MUSIC AND THE FARMERS MARKET WILL BE GOING ON AS I SAID.
THERE WILL ALSO BE OLD PRIZES AND FREE ICE CREAM FOR ANYBODY THAT COMES OUT.
BACK ON THE CLOCK. FREE ICE CREAM DOING THAT IT. WE NEED ICE CREAM.
WHEN OTHER COMMUNITIES WAITED TOO LONG FOR THESE PROJECTS WE REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL STOP
[7. PUBLIC COMMENT]
BY THE KICKOFF CELEBRATION IN DOWNTOWN ON MAY 31 BEFBETWEEN 4 P.M. AND 6:40 P.M.. THATCONCLUDES MY COMMENTS. >> THAT BRINGS US TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES.HEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS OF THE LIGHT
[00:20:03]
WILL GO FROM GREEN TO YELLOW AND THEN AT THE END OF THREE MINUTES IT WILL GO TO READ.WE HAVE IT TJIMMY PIERCE. >> JIMMY PIERCE I LIVE AT 103 E. LIVE OAK.
I GOT TO LOOK AT THE PLANS FOR THE 1660 S. AND 137 INTERSECTION.
I AM PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE IDEA OF THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. SEVERAL STUDIES INDICATE THAT MAJOR ACCIDENTS GO DOWN AT ROUNDABOUTS BUT NOBODY EVER REALLY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT A MINOR ACCIDENT GOING UP.
THEY GO UP TO THE POINT THAT ACCIDENTS OVERALL GO UP BY AS MUCH AS 12 TO 15% IN A COUPLE DIFFERENT STUDIES. IN PARTICULAR WITH PARTICULARLY PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS WENT UP.
BICYCLE ACCIDENTS GO UP. WITH THE ROAD NEEDING TO BE WIDENED WITH APARTMENTS WE PUT A SUBDIVISION RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA.
I'M IN LIVE OAK'S STREET. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT ON THE WAY OVER HERE TODAY.
I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ON EAST STREET GOING NORTH AND SOUTH STILL DO NOT SLOW DOWN. IN OLD TOWN WE NEED STOP SIGNS AND NEED MORE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS. THE MAJORITY OF LIVE OAK'S SHOW IS NOT ONE SPEED LIMIT SIGN FACING WESTBOUND TRAFFIC. ON THAT ROAD. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE OLDTOWN SAFETY WHERE WE DON'T NEED BIKE LANES WE DON'T NEED ROUNDABOUTS WE NEED STOP SIGNS AND WE NEED SPEED LIMIT SIGNS. MAYBE EVEN SPEED BUMPS. IN ORDER TO GIVE BIKE LANES ONE IS ON OF TRAFFIC TO JUSTIFY THEM YOUR SPEED LIMITS ARE ALREADY AT 30 MILES AN HOUR.
BICYCLES GO 15 TO 20 MPH. THERE'S REALLY NO NEED FOR BIKE LANES AND OLDTOWN.
WE DO NEED PARKING AND SIDEWALKS. WE DO NEED STORM SEWERS.
>> THANK YOU SARAH THAT BRINGS US THE PUBLIC HEARINGS. 8.1 IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR
[8.1. Public Hearing for Creation of a Tax Abatement Reinvestment Zone for property located at 3399 CR 132 Hutto, Texas, a tract of land within the area known as the Megasite as allowed by Chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code (Legal)]
CREATION OF A TAX ABATEMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3399 COUNTY ROAD 132 IN HUTTO TEXAS. TRACT OF LAND WITHIN THE AREA KNOWN AS A MECCA SITE AS ALLOWED BYCHAPTER 312 OF THE TEXAS TAX >> THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IS JUST A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CREATION OF THE TAX ABATEMENT ZONE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE ACTION TO CREATE THE TAX ABATEMENT ZONE IS ON FOR ACTION TONIGHT. IT IS ONLY A PUBLIC HEARING IS MEANT BY SERVICE. IT IS ONLY THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR TONIGHT.
HOWEVER TO YOUR POINT WHEN YOU GET TO THE NEXT PUBLIC HEARING THE NEXT THREE ITEMS ARE
RELATED. AND THE TWO ACTION ITEMS. >> WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT SEVEN 20 4:00 P.M.. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON BEHALF OF OF THIS PARTICULAR TAX ABATEMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE FOR THE MEGA SITE? SEEING THE E ONE WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:24 PM. WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 8.2.
[8.2. Conduct a public hearing on Ordinance No. O-2023-023 Approving the Annexation of the Alta Ed SchmidtTract, 77.881 Acres, more or less of Land and to Establish the Base Zoning as MF (Multi-Family) located on Ed Schmidt Blvd east of Emory Crossing. (First Reading) (Ashley Bailey)]
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE NUMBER ZERO ? 2023 ? ZERO 23 APPROVING THE ANNEXATION OF THE ALTAR AND SCHMIDT TRACK 77.881 ACRES, MORE OR LESS OF LAND AND TO ESTABLISH THE BASE ZONING AS MF MULTIFAMILY LOCATED AT ED SMITH BOULEVARD EAST OF EMORY CROSSING. WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING T 7:24 PM.[00:25:03]
IS ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING THE ONE WHO WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:25 PM. THIS IS JUST A PUBLIC HEARING YOU WILL SPEAK ON UNTIL LATER[8.3. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2023-082, approving the municipal services agreement for the proposed annexation of the Alta Ed Schmidt tract, 77.881 Acres, more or less of land located along Ed Schmidt Blvd west of Emory Crossing. (Ashley Bailey)]
CRACKED? >> NEXT ITEM. WE HAVE 8.3.
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION OF RESOLUTION ARE ? 2023 ? 082 APPROVING THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF THE ALTA ED SCHMIDT TRACK 77.881 ACRES, MORE OR LESS OF LAND LOCATED ALONG ED SMITH BOULEVARD WEST OF EMORY SSING.
>> GOOD EVENING MAYORR AND COUNCIL AND ASHLEY. THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU IS A RESOLUTION THAT YOU ARE USED TO SEEING. WE DO HAVE TO A MUNICIPAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH EVERY ANNEXATION. THAT IS WHAT IS ATTACHED TO THIS HIS RESOLUTION. THIS IS FOR THE UPCOMING 8.4 ITEM FOR THE ANNEXATION OF THE TRACT. YOU MAY ALSO RECALL THAT THIS WAS POSTPONED AT THE LAST
COUNCIL MEETING. >> ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL? >> ONE OF THEM UNDER THE FISCAL NOTES AND IT MAY BE AN OVERSIGHT IF NOT I WOULD LIKE TO GET INTO IT.
IT SAYS AFTER ANNEXATION THE CITY WILL COLLECT WASTEWATER AND TRAFFIC BUT NOTHING AGAINST
THE OTHER FEES. >> WE MOSTLY JUST FOCUSED ON THAT BUT YOU ARE CORRECT.
>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO WEAVING. >> THERE IS NOT.
>> IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR THIS. I KNOW THAT WHOLE TRACT OF PROPERTY IS LIKE HUNDRED AND 1 ACRES BUT I GUESS THE MULTIFAMILY UNITS ARE GOING TO BE ON THE 77.8 IS THAT CORRECT? SO THE OTHER PORTION OF IT IS BECAUSE IT'S ZONED COMMERCIAL IT IS THE PORTION THAT KIND OF BACKED UP TO IT IS WHAT IT IS. THERE WILL BE DEVELOPMENT ON
THAT. >> ONLY IF IT'S EASIEST. THE TRACK IN BLUE IS WHAT WE
ARE ANNEXING TONIGHT. >> QUESTION ON THE MSA NOTE COUNT.
I'M SURE IT MEANS NOTHING BUT WHEN WE GET THE SECTION FOR PAGE 98 OF THE PACKET I WAS LOOKING AT. WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY UNDER THE WATER SERVICE AND EXISTING SERVICES. AS FOR THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED. THE WATER SYSTEM IS LIMITED TO IN GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE FOR NEWLY ANNEXED PARCELS WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED. IT IS APPROPRIATE WITH EXTENDED SERVICES REMAINING FEASIBLE WITH OTHER RESIDENT FACTORS AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
TWO THINGS THERE. ONE TO ME IT'S CLEARLY IN THE MIDDLE OF JONAH'S TERRITORY.
IT'S EASIER TO SAY WATER WILL BE PROVIDED AS AVAILABLE. WHEN YOU GO TO THE SC ARE IT SEEMS THAT THEY KEEP ASKING THE CITY TO LOOKING FOR WASTEWATER. IT DOESN'T APPEAR THE NEW ONE HAS ASKED OR TOLD THEM THAT THE WATER NEEDS TO COME FROM SOMEONE ELSE NOT US.
WHAT I FIND IS IN SOME OF OUR DEVELOPMENT WE GET THESE ISSUES COME UP AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET A WE CALL BACK AS A CITY AND WE SAID WE WILL NEVER GIVE IT.
THEY WILL NOT GET IT AND SAID TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL BE THE PERFECT TIME TO WORK EITHER IN MANVILLE, JONAH OR THE CITY OF HUTTO IT ENDS THERE INSTEAD OF THIS OPEN ENDED.
I WAS LOOKING FOR A REQUEST FOR WATER AND I COULDN'T FIND IT. >> WE CAN CERTAINLY BE MORE CLEAR IN THE FUTURE AND CALL OUT TO DO THE CAVEAT FOR SOME REASON THAT THEY CANNOT BE SERVED THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE REST OF FIGURING OUT HOW WE WOULD SERVE THEM.
>> IN THESE REQUESTS IT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE ASKING I THINK IT WAS KIMBERLY HORN IN THE REQUEST. THEY WERE SAYING IT WAS A HALF OF LUE AND A MULTIFAMILY WHERE THEY COME BACK AND SAY IT'S THE POINT FOR EACH. NEED 6 MILLION
[00:30:39]
GALLONS A DAY OF SERVICE. WE ARE OVERSTATING WHAT WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING AND SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN IT AND I DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO STOP THIS BUT AS A CITY I DON'T WANT US ALSO IN 20 YEARS TO SPEND HUNDRED AND $80 MILLION AND WE FIND OUT THAT WE OVERESTIMATED EVERYTHING WE REALLY DIDN'T NEED SIX WE NEEDED FOR MAYBE BUT THAT'S OKAY WE WILL USE IT LATER. I WOULD RATHER JUST HAVE GOOD ESTIMATIONS WITH KIND OF WHATGENERAL ACCEPTED PRACTICES ARE ACROSS THE AREA. >> IF YOU'RE SUBSEQUENT TO THIS ITEM I CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO YOU AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE CITY MANAGER EXPLAINING HOW THAT OCCURS. I CAN GIVE YOU THE BASIS BEHIND
THE ESTIMATION. >> ALSO TO POINT OUT WE ARE GOING FROM TWO TO GO TO SIX WHETHER YOU HAD THIS ON THE PROPERTY DOES NOT SAY THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DESIGN FOR A SIX.
>> YOU SAY THAT AND I GO BY DATA. >> I DO TO.
>> IF YOU OVERESTIMATE EVERYTHING WE DO IN THE CITY MAYBE WE'RE SAYING WE NEED A 6 MILLION GALLON FASTER THAN WHAT WE DO. MAYBE WE DON'T NEED SIX BECAUSE
YOU ARE 40% OVER AND ESTIMATION. >> EVEN IF YOU TAKE THAT IS TRULY WENT THROUGH THE NUMBERS BEFORE WE WILL NOT ARGUE TONIGHT OBVIOUSLY BUT WE LOOKED AT A 4 MILLION GALLON WITH INCREMENTAL COSTS FROM 4 TO 6 WITCHES A 33% INCREASE OR 50% OVERSIGHT FROM WHERE WE ARE AT 224 GOING TO FIX BUT THE INCREMENTAL COST GOING FROM 4 TO 6 IS NOT 40% OVERESTIMATE. TO THROW OUT THAT YOU SOMEHOW THINK THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME
CONVOLUTION I TAKE OFFENSE THAT. >> LAST QUESTION I'M NOT TRYING TO OFFEND YOU ON THE SPOT WHEN WE TELL SOMEONE THAT YOU NEED 120 LUE IS BASED ON WHAT IDEAS ARE OVERINFLATED WITH CALCULATION THAN DO WE NOT THEN SAY NOW YOU ALWAYS IMPACT FEE FEES ON THE OVERESTIMATE? IS THAT NOT HOW IT WORKS FOR SHORT.
>> FOR THE CONCEPT THEY WOULD NEED 120 IF THEY COME OFF OF THAT OR THEY LOSE IF YOU SEE
UNITS. >> THEY HAVE EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE ON HERE.
IT'S THE FINAL PLAN TO MOVE TOMORROW. >> AND THE PERCENTAGES BETWEEN WHAT POINT IT INCREASES THAT WE INTEND TO HAVE IT TO HAPPEN AND IF WE ARE IN FACT OVERESTIMATING THESE THEN WHEN THEY GET INTO CONSTRUCTION AND THE RIGHT TO PULL WITH THE FIRST THING THEY DO? THEY COME TO US AND SAY YOUR IMPACT FEES ARE TOO HIGH CAN USE TAX DOLLARS TO HELP OFFSET RINGS? WE JUST NEED TO BE MORE ACCURATE WITH OUR ESTIMATION AND NOT PASSING MONEY OUT JUST TO GET BUSINESS HERE.
IT'S EITHER THE COST IS TOO HIGH OR WE ARE CALCULATING TOO MUCH OR IT IS A COMBINATION.
I JUST THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT TICKETS WE HAVE A HOTEL RIGHT NOW THAT HAS TO DO ONE HOTEL WITH 98 ROOMS AND IT'S LIKE $50,000 AND WASTEWATER FEES.
>> MY GUESSES COMING IN HERE AND WANTING TO AMEND THE BID BUILDING CODES WERE CHANGED SOME THINGS TO SAVE MONEY WITH AN EFFORT TO MAKE UP FOR THIS SO I THINK IT'S A BIGGER ISSUE.
I'M JUST TRYING TO BE ACCURATE IN WHAT WE ARE DOING. >> I DON'T MIND GOING FOR THE NUMBER I'M JUST SAYING WE DON'T NEED TO BE AT 6 KN IN THIS CHARACTERIZATION.
[00:35:07]
>> UNTIL HE ARRIVED AT .8 INSTEAD OF .5 I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
>> ALSO I GUESS BACK TO THE MAP. WE ARE ON PAGE 78 OF OUR PACKET. IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IT MENTIONS A 77 WHICH IS A MULTIFAMILY WHICH IS THE 020931 PIECE IN THE BLUE. THEN IT BRINGS OUT THEIR .5 ACRES AND THEN 8.36 ACRES WHICH ARE TWO DIFFERENT. IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WE
HAVE IT HIGHLIGHTED AS DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. >> WHAT OCCURRED WHEN THIS ACTUALLY WAS PROVIDED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT I BELIEVE IT WAS BACK IN 2019 OR 2020.
THEY PROVIDED THE LAND-USE AND WE HAVE SINCE BEEN TOLD BY THE LEGAL TEAM THAT THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AT THE TIME. THERE WERE PROVISIONS GIVEN THAT WE SHOULD NOT OF BEEN GIVING IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THIS ANNEXATION TAKES AND A PORTION OF THAT. WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE SHOULD NOT PUT THAT IN THE AGREEMENT ALTOGETHER. HOWEVER WE DID MAKES SPACE FOR THE NEWEST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED IN DECEMBER SO WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE MULTI FAMILY AND EVENTUALLY WILL SEE
COMMERCIAL COMING WITH THAT AS WELL. >> ALSO GOING BACK TO THE .8.
IT'S THREE PEOPLE AND THAT THE STANDARD IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS.
.8 WOULD BE 2.8 PEOPLE. IF THE AVERAGE IS NOT A ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT BUT A TWO BEDROOM FOR THE ACTION AND THEY ALSO HAVE THREE OR FOUR BEDROOMS IF YOU AVERAGE ACROSS THOSE UNITS THAT'S WHERE .8 WOULD COME FROM BECAUSE IT WOULD JUST BE A.5.
>> ALSO BEAUTIFUL BREAKDOWN. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OR ANY ACTION OF ANY SORT?
HEARING ON WE WILL MOVE ON. >> I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE THE ANNEXATION VIA RESOLUTION 2023 ? 82. APPROVING THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT.
>>. >> I WAS SECOND. >> ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? HEARING THEM PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.
[8.4. Consideration and possible action on Ordinance No. O-2023-023 Approving the Annexation of the Alta Ed SchmidtTract, 77.881 Acres, more or less of Land and to Establish the Base Zoning as MF (Multi-Family) located on Ed Schmidt Blvd east of Emory Crossing. (First Reading) (Ashley Bailey)]
NEXT WE HAVE ITEM A.4. CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 2023 ? ZERO 23. APPROVING THE ANNEXATION OF THE ALTAR D SMITH TRACK 77.81 ACRES MORE OR LESS OF LAND AND TO ESTABLISH THE BASE OWNING AS MF MULTIFAMILY LOCATED ON EDSCHMIDT BOULEVARD EAST OF EMORY SING. >> IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT. IT IS LOCATED JUST A LONG EDGE MEADOW COUNTY ROAD 118.
FOR THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT. THE DISTRICT IS A SETTING FOR DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING FITS IN PERFECTLY INTO THE DENSITY RANGE THAT WE HAVE A SET FORWARD IN THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN SO THEY ARE IN ALLIANCE WITH THAT WHICH IS GREAT FOR THE UTC BECAUSE WE LIKE TO ZONE AND COMPLIANCE WITH HER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
[00:40:01]
UPON ANNEXATION. WITHOUT THE APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED AND WE HELD A PUBLIC NOTICE. NO YOU'RE ASKING FOR ORDINANCE APPROVAL.>> QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL? >> IF THIS WERE TO FAIL WHAT WOULD BE THE RESULT?
>> I'M GOING TO NEED ROOF ACCESS. >> THEY WERE PROBABLY APPLY AGAIN. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR AT LEAST
SIX MONTHS TO GET THIS. >> THIS IS NORTH OF 119 NORTH OF LIMA.
>> CORRECT. LIMERICK IS HERE AND THIS IS THE EMORY DEVELOPMENT.
THE BLUE IS THE AREA THAT WE WOULD BE ANNEXING AND THIS IS THE ASH WITH DEVELOPMENT THAT'S UP IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER AND THEN OVER HERE IS THAT CTC AT EMORY DEVELOPMENT.
IT WAS OWNED TWO MEETINGS AGO. >> MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT WE ARE JUST NOW DOING A STUDY ON
THE AD 'S NET CORE DOOR. >> WE KEEP PACKING THESE THINGS ON SMIT BUT NOBODY'S GETTING ANYTHING DONE IN TERMS OF HEY, HOW ARE WE GOING TO TAKE IN THESE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE LIVING HERE? HOW DO WE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE RETAIL AND EVERYTHING ELSE? WE KEEP AUTHORIZING AND I KNOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COLLECTING IMPACT FEES AND SOMETIMES WE GET THEM SOMETIMES WE DON'T. WHAT I'M HOPING IS IF THIS PASSES SOMEHOW WE'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD PLAN BECAUSE I FEEL THAT SMIT IS GOING TO BE WIDENED AT SOME POINT BECAUSE IT BACKS UP TO LOWES NOW. IF IT BACKS UP ANY FURTHER WE ARE CUTTING OFF AN ENTIRE AREA. WHATEVER WE DO HERE WILL NEED TO FOCUS ON INFRASTRUCTURE.
>> WHEN THE STUDIES DONE IT'S PROBABLY THREE YEARS AWAY IF EVERYTHING WENT RIGHT HAVING A
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TO HAVE IT OPEN. >> THIS MIGHT BE AN
INTERSECTION THAT YOU WILL BEGINNING SOMETIME IN JULY. >> HAD ONE QUESTION FOR YOU BECAUSE THIS IS CURRENTLY HERE. IF YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BRING IT INTO THE CITY THEY COULD GO FORWARD AND BUILD IT ON THE COUNTY AND WHAT THAT MEAN FOR THE PUBLIC?
>> PRACTICAL AND SEPTIC. TOO MANY APARTMENT COMPLEX HAVE THIS.
IT WOULD CUT DOWN THE DENSITY BECAUSE IT HAS A SEPTIC FIELD. >> AM TRYING TO THINK OF THE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES HERE. BECAUSE THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND ANNEXATION THAT IT WAS THE CLIENT IT DEFERS TO THE EJ. IT IS POTENTIALLY CONNECTED BUT
I REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS AN AREA AREA. >> TO MY KNOWLEDGE WILLIAMSON
COUNTY DOES NOT REQUIRE TIAS. >> I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY SAY IT'S
SOMETHING ELSE YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT. >> IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER AS FAR AS KIND OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THEY ARE WITH WIDENING THE ROAD AT SOME
POINT. IS THERE ANY TALK? >> ABSOLUTELY IS.
THIS IS THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY ROADWAY BUT WITH THE ANNEXATION I BELIEVE THEY ARE STILL IN CONTROL OF THAT. FOR THAT I KNOW THAT THIS IS A CONVERSATION TOPIC BECAUSE IT'S ONLY TWO LANES THEY BELIEVE THOSE PLANS ARE IN THE PROCESS IS NOT EVEN A DESIGN.
>> I IMAGINE IT'S NOT A GREAT LOOK FOR THEM TO CREATE SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT TRAFFIC COMING IN AND OUT OF THERE. I HAVE TO IMAGINE THERE WOULD
[00:45:06]
BE SOME SORT OF CONVERSATION THAT COULD BE HAD AS FAR AS PARTNERING WITH US AND APPROACHING WILLIAMSON COUNTY ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE.IT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FOR US JUST TO BE SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO.
>> ABSOLUTELY I KNOW THAT WE ARE AND CALLS VERY FREQUENTLY TO LOOK OVER WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE ROADWAYS. WE WILL BE GETTING A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS WITH THE UPCOMING PLANS ONCE WE HAVE PLAN. SOME OF THE TIME IT IS WE ARE PAYING EVENTUALLY AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU WOULD SEE HERE IS BECAUSE WE ARE CREATING A FOUR INTERSECTION AT SOME POINT BAND OF BEING A SIGNAL AT THAT LOCATION AS WELL.
>> IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BROUGHT UP. I THINK ALSO TONIGHT IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE INTERSECTION. THERE'S THE ISSUE THAT DEVELOPMENT IS BRINGING ALONG WITH IT BECAUSE WE WERE COLLECTING TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES AND NOW WE ARE. IF WE JUST GO SPEND IT ON WHATEVER COMES TO MIND WE DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR THE INTERSECTION. I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE IN A WAY THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ACTION TO MODIFY THAT IN THE FUTURE.
WHERE WE SOMEHOW SET THIS MONEY ASIDE AND SAY CAN ONLY BE USED ALONG WITH 19 BETWEEN WEIMER AND CHANDLER. IF WE GO OUTSIDE OF THAT COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO VOTE AUTHORIZED TO SPEND THE MONEY ON SOMETHING ELSE. WE HAVE THIS PILE OF MONEY COMING IN AND THAT'S UNENCUMBERED WERE SURE THEY SHOULD BE TO SOME EXTENT.
IT WILL BE TWO YEARS BEFORE THEY GET THIS THING BUILT. AND THEN WE ARE REIMBURSING TO
PREVENT THE SECTION BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY CAME IN. >> WERE SO FAR BEHIND RIGHT NOW THAT GOING FROM BEING 10 YEARS BEHIND THE FIVE YEARS BEHIND IS AN IMPROVEMENT IN GETTING TO WHERE WE ARE JUST ABOUT CAUGHT UP I DON'T THINK WE'RE READY TO TAKE THAT LEAP
TODAY. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION FOR OR ACTION TO BE HAD?
>> MOTION TO APPROVE A .4 AS PRESENTED. >> SECOND.
>> MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER AND SECONDED BY CLARK APPROVING ORDINANCE NUMBER THERE IS 2023 AS ? 23. FOR THE DISCUSSION ON THE HEARING ON PLEASE CALL THE E.
[9.1. Receive a presentation regarding the status of the various projects at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant (S WWTP) (Matt Rector and Ian Toohey, Garver Project Engineer)]
RECEIVER PRESENTATION REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE VARIOUS PROJECTS AT THE SOUTHWASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. .
THIS IS AS INDICATED TO KIND OF GIVE YOU GUYS. I COME HERE EVERY MONTH TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE CIP BUT IF THIS IS GH-LEVEL. THIS PRESENTATION IS TO LOOK OVER COME IN TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN DOING AND WHAT THE STATUS IS AND WHAT THE PATH LOOKS LIKE GOING FORWARD. OUT WITH THE EXTRA GIVE YOU HIS
PRESENTATION. >> WITH THE PROGRESS IS BEING MADE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THERE'S BEEN A LOT GOING ON SINCE JANUARY. YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON AN EMERGENCY DISINFECTION PROJECT AT THE PLANT.
WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THE PLANTS RATE AND AMENDING THE PERMIT.
[00:50:02]
YOU HAVE BEEN GOING THE PROCUREMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.AS WELL AS PRELIMINARY DESIGN TO 30% FOR PLANT EXPANSION. THE WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN IN DECEMBER 2022 IDENTIFIED THREE MAIN PRIORITIES OF THE SOUTHWEST PLOTTER PRIUS PLANT THE FIRST WAS TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM AND PERMIT VIOLATION. IT'S PART OF THE MASTER PLAN AND THE SYSTEM WAS STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH THE FLOW AND NOT CLOSE TO THE LINE ON BEING ABLE TO DEACTIVATE E. COLI BEFORE IT REACHED THE DISCHARGE.
THAT WAS A REALLY HIGH PRIORITY. THE SECOND ONE IS TO REITERATE THE PERMANENT PEEKING FACTOR TO MAXIMIZE THE EXTENDED PLANT. I WILL GO INTO MORE DETAIL ON THE MATH THERE BUT REALLY AS HE MENTIONED MAKING THE MOST OF THE EXISTING PLANTS WE CAN BRIDGE THE GAP AND HAVE THE PLAN ONLINE. OF COURSE EXPANDING THE PLANT TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE NEW DEVELOPMENT. I'M IN A TALK FIRST ABOUT THE EMERGENCY PROJECT. THE MICROWAVE SYSTEM AT THE PLANT IS CURRENTLY ABLE TO KEEP PACE WITH THE FLOW. THIS IS THE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS INSTALLED AT THE TIME TO MATCH THE SYSTEM. AT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS ON THE WAY OUT AT THE TIME IT WAS INSTALLED AND AS OF TODAY IT'S ONE OF TWO REMAINING INSTALLATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES THAT USES TECHNOLOGY. THAT MEANS THAT SUPPLY CHAINS AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT ARE VERY CHALLENGING. THE PARTICULAR ISSUE WITH THIS IS THAT THERE ARE UV LAMPS AND THAT THE POWER UNITS THAT SUPPLY POWER TO THOSE LAMPS ARE ESSENTIALLY JUST UV LIGHT WITHIN THE WASTEWATER STREAM THAT KILLS THE BACTERIA. THOSE LAMPS BURN OUT VERY QUICKLY DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND A CONTRACT OPERATOR HAS REPLACED THOSE BULBS VERY FREQUENTLY TO ABOUT 60 PER YEAR. LEADTIMES ARE LONGER AND LONGER SO THE FEAR IS WITH THE SUPPLY CHAIN IT'S JUST BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE NEW BALANCE OF POWER SUPPLY UNITS TO THE SYSTEMS AND AT THAT POINT WE FACE THE RISK OF A PERMANENT VIOLATION.
>> A RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE SYSTEM IS NEEDED TO PREVENT THAT VIOLATION.
WE LOOKED AT AS A FIRST ALTERNATIVE A PAD MOUNTED TEMPORARY UV SYSTEMS OF THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A FABRICATED SYSTEM THAT CAN BRING IN ON THE TRACK ON A PREPARED PATH.
EVENTUALLY THE COUPLE'S TOLD US THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED AND BUILD THIS THING.
WE WOULD HAVE TO POUR CONCRETE FOR THIS ALTERNATIVE WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE TRYING BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY SAY TEMPORARY ALTERNATIVE. IT'S AN ABOVEGROUND STRUCTURE THE PART OF THE PLAN EXPANSION TO DESIGN A NEW UV SYSTEM AND A MORE PERMANENT ONE.
THIS WOULD BE A SUNKEN ASSET THAT THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING TO DO.
>> IT'S JUST NOT THE TIME AND IMPLEMENTATION THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR.T'S GONNA TAKE 18 MONTHS TO GET ON SITE AND AT THAT POINT WE ARE ALREADY RUNNING THE RISK A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR OUT. ONE THING FOR THE ALTERNATIVE THAT WE IDENTIFIED IS TO USE PARASITIC ASSET AS A CHEMICAL. IF THE CHEMICAL DISINFECTANT FOR WASTEWATER APPLICATIONS.
CLIENT IS COMMONLY USED AS A DISINFECTANT. PARASITIC ASSET IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO COORDINATE AND THEN IT KILLS THE BUMPS. THE PULL THE CHLORINE BACK OUT OF THE WATER BEFORE IT HITS THE STREAM BECAUSE IT CAN KILL FISH AND HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT. YOU CAN BUY IN BULK SOLUTIONS. CHLORINE IS A GAS WITH NATURAL
[00:55:07]
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE SEE HAVE TO BUY EITHER PRESSURIZED LIQUID OR GAS QUANTITY.YOU CAN ALSO USE BLEACH AS AN ALTERNATIVE. THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BE EASILY REUSED SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHEMICAL TOTES AND SMALL CHEMICAL FEED PUMPS. THERE ARE SIMPLER OPTIONS WITH NO CONCRETE FOR THIS OPTION SO IT'S MUCH QUICKER ON FLOTATION TIME. THE COST IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER CLOSER TO $200,000. IT'S A LOW-COST RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE OPTION TO ADD RESILIENCY. YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE RIGHT COMPARED TO THE INSULATION ON THE LEFT. THESE TWO SYSTEMS ACCOMPLISH THE SAME IN THE END GOAL HAS CAPITAL COSTS WHICH ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER. THE REASON WHY PAA IS IT USED EVERYWHERE IS BECAUSE THAT OPERATIONAL COST THAT YOU SEE ON THE SECOND LINE IS HIGHER.
A PERMANENT LIFETIME INSTALLATION DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
YOU SEE TOTAL SAVINGS OVER THIS ESTIMATE OVER THE INSTALLATION OF THE SYSTEM OF ABOUT 1 AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS. THAT MADE THAT VERY CLEAR. THE OTHER BIG ADVANTAGE IS THAT THE RIVER AUTHORITY OF THE CONTRACT OPERATOR IS ACTUALLY ABLE TO INSTALL THIS EQUIPMENT THEMSELVES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIRE CONTRACTORS.
THE EQUIPMENT IS SIMPLE ENOUGH THAT WE CAN PROCURE IT AND INSTALL IT AS A MAINTENANCE ITEM AND THAT'S A LOT QUICKER. IT'S A PRETTY AMAZING TURNAROUND.
I PUT THAT UP TO THE FACT THAT WE REACHED OUT TO DC Q AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY PROACTIVE IN OUR
DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM. >> THIS IS THE GOVERNING REGULATION FOR WASTEWATER PROCESS AND THEY WILL BE USING OUR FULL-SCALE DATA TO BE A DRAFT REGULATION BECAME PRESIDENT PERMISSION TO USE THIS TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY ARE ALREADY PLANNING STATEWIDE.
WE EXPECT THIS TO BE UP AND RUNNING BY THIS FALL WHICH IS A GREAT TIMELINE.
MOVING ON TO THE DMENTS. DUE TO CONSTRUCTION TIMELINES THE EXISTING SEQUENCING BATCH REACTOR PROCESS AT THE PLAN NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED OUT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
THE EXISTING WASTEWATER PLANT HAS A DEFAULT FACTOR OF 4.0. ANYTIME YOU BUILD A BRAND-NEW PLANT THERE'S NOTHING THERE AND YOU HAVE THE WASTEWATER PLANT IN THE FIELD.OU DON'T HAVE FLOW DATA FOR WITH THE FLOW RATES OR PEEKING FACTORS ARE THAT GO TO THAT FACILITY BECAUSE IT'S BRAND-NEW. WITH THE FIVE YEARS OF DATA FROM ON THE PLANT WAS BUILT UNTIL 2010 AND TWO WE CAN GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING THE DATA AND IDENTIFYING WHAT THE REAL PEAKS ARE THAT ARRIVE AT THAT FACILITY AND FOUND THAT THE HYDRAULIC PEAKS ARE CLOSER TO 3.2. BY MAKING THAT CHANGE SIMPLY LOOKING AT 3.2 INSTEAD OF A PLAN FOR IT GIVES THE AVERAGE DAILY FLOW CAPACITY UP TO TWO AND HALF MGD WHICH IS A 25% INCREASE. THE TWO AND HALF INCREASE FOR THAT HALF INCREASE HELPS TO MANAGE FLOWS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS WHILE WE WORK ON THE PLANT. ESTABLISHING A DATA BACKED LITTLE OR PEEKING FACTOR MEAN SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS. ESTABLISHING A 3.2 FACTOR DOESN'T JUST MEAN THAT THE CURRENT PLANT AT THE LAST LONGER. IT MEANS THAT WHEN WE ARE DESIGNING A NEW PLANT FOR SIX WE DON'T HAVE TO BUILD OR MULTIPLY BY FOUR AND BUILD AN ACTUAL 24 PLANT. YOU CAN TRIM THAT BACK AND CONSERVE SOME OF THAT CAPACITY
[01:00:02]
BECAUSE WE ARE DESIGNING AROUND THE LOWER FACTOR. THAT'S DIRECT SAVINGS TO THE CITY AND THE COST OF THIS PROJECT THAT ARRIVES. TAKING THIS INFORMATION WE DEVELOPED A PERMANENT APPLICATION FOR THIS THAT INCLUDED IN PEEKING FACTOR.WE RESTRUCTURED THE PHASING OF THE PLANT FOR THE MASTER PLAN TO GO FROM 2 TO 6, 6 TO 12 AND 12 TO 15 AND A HALF. WE HAD AT THAT AS A CHEMICAL DISINFECTANT OF THE TUNA MGD.
AS YOU CAN SEE THE TABLE REPRESENT THE SCHEDULE REVIEW TIME WITH THE REVIEW TIME THAT WE'VE SEEN. IT ONLY TOOK ANOTHER 10 DAYS AND THIS IS A DIFFERENT 10 DAYS FROM THE ONE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. WE'VE BEEN WITH THE WRITERS A LITTLE LONGER THAN WE EXPECTED. WE GOT WORD THIS WEEK THAT THEY WILL ISSUE THE DRAFT PERMIT FOR REVIEW VERY SOON. THEY PROCURE AND THE MARKET VOLATILITY IS STILL A REALITY FOR CENTRAL TEXAS CAPITAL PROJECTS. I DON'T TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH GROWTH IS OCCURRING IN THIS AREA ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR INDUSTRIAL GROWTH TO YOUR NEIGHBOR IN THE EAST. WE ARE STILL SEEING A LOT OF VOLATILITY AND PRICING IN THE MARKET FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. A LOT OF COMPETITIONS FOR LABOR AND A LOT OF DEMAND WITH OTHER PROJECTS AS WELL AS INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS IN THE AREA.
ALWAYS SEEN OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS ARE THE METHODS THAT LEAD TO BIG SURPRISES.
IN A TRADITIONAL DESIGN FORMAT YOU'RE DOING THE ENGINEERING IN A BUBBLE THAT IS AND PUT OUT TO BID AND THAT'S THE POINT AT WHICH A CONTRACTOR GETS ENGAGED AND GIVES YOU FEEDBACK WITH OTHER PROJECT IS ESTIMATED. IT GOES FORWARD INTO THE DESIGN PROCESS INSERTS TO GET THEIR FEEDBACK AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DESIGN EARLIER IN THE PROCESS SO THAT REALLY TO FREEZE THE SURPRISE ON THAT DAY UNLOCKS AND A LOT OF CERTAINTY AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROJECT.
WHEN YOU DO GO TO DESIGN WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK OUT.
WE CAN MAKE THAT SELECTION OF THE CONTRACTOR ON THE QUALIFICATIONS BASIS WHICH IS UNIQUE TO THIS PROCESS. WE CAN TRANSFER SOME OF THE RISK THROUGH THAT COST ASSURANCE THAT WE HAVE A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE SO ESSENTIALLY THAT CONTRACT WILL SAY BASED ON THIS DESIGN PROGRESSION THIS IS HOW MUCH THE PROJECT IS GOING TO COST.
WHEN YOU GET INTO CONSTRUCTION THE CHANGE OCCURS IN THEY BEAR SOME OF THE RISK TO MANAGE THE CHANGE WITH THE ACCOUNTABILITY. THEY HELP US TO DEFINE THE UNKNOWNS.
MOST IMPORTANTLY I THINK THE C MARK IS ABLE TO HELP TIMING AND STRATEGY BEHIND THE BIDDING PHASE. IT'S ACTUALLY OVERSEEING THE BIDDING PROCESS AS A CONTRACTOR SO THAT'S A REALLY UNIQUE ADVANTAGE. THIS IS A SUBJECT OF A COUNCIL WORKSHOP THAT WE GAVE BACK IN JANUARY. THE SEA MAR IS UNDER A SEPARATE CONTRACT WITH THE OWNER PARALLEL TO THE ENGINEER THEY'RE NOT WORKING FOR THE ENGINEERING OR VICE VERSA. THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE CONTRACTS.
[01:05:15]
WE HAD A WORK SESSION IN 2023 WE DETAIL THE TWO-STEP CAMERA PROCESS FOR THIS PROJECT.STEP ONE IS AN RFQ WHICH IS THE QUALIFICATIONS BASE AND IS OPEN TO CORRESPONDENCE.
THE CROSS PROPOSAL IS REALLY ABOUT APPROACH WITH SCHEDULE OPTIMIZATION.
THEY PROVIDE THEIR PRICING WITH INTERVIEWS IN THE FINAL SELECTION.
IT'S A PROCUREMENT PROCESS OF THE ORANGE BOX IS THE BIDDING POINT ESSENTIALLY.
THAT'S ONLY SEARCHES SEE THE PACKAGES DEVELOPMENT BEYOND THAT WE HAVE TO START THE SUBMITTAL REVIEW PROCESS WITH LIFETIME BEFORE RETURNING. DOWN HERE IS THE SAME PROCESS UNDER THE SEA MAR FORMAT. YOU CAN SEE AT SEVERAL POINTS DURING THE DESIGN WE ARE DEVELOPING A BENCHMARK WITH GMP'S. WE ARE ABLE TO DO SOME EARLIER PROCUREMENTS WITH THE TIMELINES AND OTHER DIFFICULTIES TO ACQUIRE ITEMS LIKE TRANSFORMERS AND SWITCH CARRIES TO RELEASE THOSE PACKAGES EARLY. THAT REALLY HELPS US GET A HEAD START ON GETTING THAT. AT THIS POINT WHERE PRINTS TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT YEAR.
WE ARE SEEING AN PARTICIPATION IN THE SELECTION PROCESS. >> WE HAD A LOT OF CONTRACTOR SHOW UP TO THAT. IF YOU LOOKED AROUND THE REGION CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATION IS THAT OF LOW. THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT PROJECTS AND WHERE THE PROJECTS THAT GET ONE AND NO BIDS. WE DEVELOPED A SHORT LIST AND ISSUED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS WITH THOSE FIRMS ON MAY 9. THAT IS A MENTION FOCUSES ON THE APPROACH TO MEET THOSE CONTROLLED. IT'S OPEN RIGHT NOW SO JUST TODAY WE HAD THE PRE-RESPONSE MEETING FOR THAT PROCESS. THE PROJECT DELIVERY TEAM THAT WE COLLABORATED CLOSELY WITH AND THE CITY'S ATTORNEYS TEAM. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT TO DEVELOP A CUSTOMIZED CONTRACT. IT PROTECTS THE CITY'S INTEREST AS WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH
THE ATTORNEYS TEAM. >> FOR THE RECORD CRYSTAL KENZIE HAS JOINED US.
>> TALKING NO ABOUT THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN EFFORT. OUR DESIGN TEAM HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESSFUL DESIGNS.E KICK THIS OFF ON JANUARY 19.
WE'VE COMPLETED THE FIELD INVESTIGATIONS IN FEBRUARY. WE HAVE THE EVALUATION REPORT ON MARCH 22. OUR DESIGN PACKAGES HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON A ROLLING BASIS TO HELP WITH STAFF TIME ON THE REVIEW. WE CONDUCTED OUR WORKSHOP
[01:10:05]
YESTERDAY AND THE DESIGN CENTER AS WE ARE ON TRACK FOR AN ON-TIME DELIVERY OF THE WORK PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN REPORT AS WELL AS A DESIGN SHEET SET AT 30%. WE WILL DELIVER A QUALITY DESIGN ON A TIGHT SCHEDULE.THIS PROJECT IS ABOUT GETTING INTO THE HEAD OF THIS CAR TOGETHER AND EVERYBODY GETS A LITTLE GREASE ON THEM BUT WE HAVE TO GET THIS THING DONE AND WE HAVE TO GET IT DONE WELL.
WE'VE BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH CITY STAFF. THEY COME ON BOARD AND CONTRIBUTE A LOT. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONSTANT COORDINATION WITH THE OTHER CONSULTANTS THAT ARE WORKING ON THE SITE AND AS YOU KNOW THERE IS A CONSULTANTS THAT ARE DESIGNING THE GRAVITY LINES THAT COME ONTO THE SITE BOTH AS CAPITAL PROJECTS AS WELL AS DEVELOPER PROJECTS. AS WELL AS THE DCS PROJECT TO BUILD THE LIFT STATEMENT ON THE SITE. WE ARE ON BIWEEKLY CALLS WITH MATT, HIS TEAM.
THE REALITY IS WE ARE PROBABLY ON CALLS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK WITH MATT AND RICK MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS PROGRESSING. ANOTHER ENTITY THAT WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH HIS AUTHORITY.S THE CONTRACT OPERATORS WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAD SOME INPUT AND FEEDBACK ON HOW THE PLANT WAS BEING DESIGNED SO THAT AS THE FUTURE OPERATORS THEY WILL BE TAKING THAT OVER INTO THE FUTURE. THIS IS THE LATEST I PLAN THEY CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT WAY PRETTIER PICTURES THAT WE WILL SHOW YOU IN A MINUTE.
DESIGNING THE THREE ADVANCES EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY. WE DO OUR DESIGN WITH THE BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING. ESSENTIALLY INSTEAD OF DRAWING A 2-D SET EVERYONE LOOKS AT IT TO REVIEW IT YOU HAVE ELECTRICAL GUYS OVER HERE THAT STUFF.
WE MADE A DECISION OF DOING MODELING A 3-D ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE THEN ANYONE CAN ENTER THAT SPACE COLLABORATIVELY AND SEE IMMEDIATELY WHERE CONFLICTS MIGHT BE OCCURRING.
YOU CAN REALLY EASE COORDINATION BETWEEN THOSE DIFFERENT TEAMS AND ONE OF THE REALLY BIG IT MANAGES AS YOU SEE IT GROWS AND DEVELOPS. YOU GET A REAL-LIFE IDEA OF WHAT THINGS LOOK LIKE. IT'S THESE IMMERSIVE DESIGN REVIEW WORKSHOPS.
THEY PARTICIPATE IN THE VIRTUAL-REALITY REVIEW WORKSHOP ALONG WITH THREE OPERATORS FROM DRA. THESE ARE WASTEWATER PLANT OPERATORS THAT HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO NAVIGATE THE FACILITY. >> IS A VIDEO OF A 3-D RENDERING FLYOVER OF THE PROPOSED PLANT LAYOUT. YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING SPR STRUCTURE AT THE CENTER OF THE PLANT. IT WORKS THERE TO THE LEFT.
LARGE STRUCTURE ON THE LEFT IS THE NEW HEADWORKS WHICH WAS AN IMPORTANT CITY DIRECTIVE TO BUILD THAT TO FULL BUILDOUT. FOR THE EQUIPMENT AS WE GO YOU CAN SEE NEW VOTER CONTROL TOWERS THERE TO REALLY ENHANCING THIS PLANT AND WITH THE DEVELOPMENT SOON BEING APPROACHING ON EITHER SIDE. IT'S AN INCREASE STRENGTH FROM A MORE CONCENTRATED WASTE STREAM THAT WE DISSIPATE OVER TIME. WE HAVE SECONDARY CLARIFIERS IN THE STRUCTURE THAT INCLUDES THE NEW UV SYSTEM THAT IS GOING TO IMPROVE THE PLANT.
[01:15:05]
>> PROJECT FUNDING WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT NOW. THE 30% DESIGN PHASE TYPICALLY REPRESENTS THE CONCEPT OF THE PLANT AT PEAK RESILIENCY. EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO SEE IN THE PLANT WE INCLUDED AT THIS PHASE. AS WE SAY THERE WE GET IT ON THE TABLE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COST OF THOSE DECISIONS ARE.
AS YOU PROGRESS WORKED TO CONTROL THAT BUDGET. REALLY WE ARE SETTING THE BAR AT 30% FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT AT THE PLANT AND THEN THE BALANCE OF THE DESIGN PROGRESSION IS LOOKING AT THOSE COSTS AND FINDING AREAS WE CAN OPTIMIZE EFFICIENCIES.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE AND I SEA MAR PROCESS BECAUSE THIS IS THE POINT IN WHICH WE GET THEM
ON BOARD TO HELP WITH DESIGN PROGRESSION. >> SEVERAL ADDITIONS HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE DECEMBER 2022. PLEXUS WAS BASED ON A STUDY FOR WASTEWATER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FLOW. AS PART OF THE DESIGN EFFORT AND SO THE PRIMARY CLARIFIERS ARE SOMETHING THAT NEED TO BE HEADED IN THE FUTURE PHASE. WE ADDED A RECLAIMED WATER FACILITY TO THIS PLANT THAT WAS ON THE MASTER PLAN. THAT WAS A PRIORITY IDENTIFIED BY STAFF TO BASICALLY SET THE PLANT UP FOR TYPE I REUSE AS A RECLAIMED WATER RESOURCE THAT THE CITY CAN USE WHICH IS ONE THING THAT CREATES A REVENUE STREAM AS PART OF THAT EFFORT.
IT PROVIDES DUAL ELECTRICALS FEED TO THE SITE. >> A SEPARATE SUBSTATION TO BUILD THE LINE TO THE SITE TO PROVIDE TRUE REDUNDANCY FOR SPECIFIC OUTAGE.
WITH THE STUDIES THAT WE HAVE CONDUCTED AS PART OF THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN WE ARE SEEING THAT THE SOILED CONDITIONS OUT THERE THE SITE REALLY HAD THE DEEP FOUNDATIONS THAT GO DOWN TO BEDROCK SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY SETTLING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT FOR THESE
LARGE STRUCTURES THAT WE ARE CONDUCTING. >> GOING BACK OVER SOME OF THESE COST DRIVERS THE PRIMARY CLARIFIERS ALLOW OUR 18.6 MILLION AGAIN WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT IS IDENTIFIED FOR INCLUSION AT A LATER PHASE WHICH IS A COST THAT WE'RE PULLING UP TO THE PRESENT. COST ABOUT $2.2 MILLION WHICH INCLUDES GROUND STORAGE IN A PUMPING FACILITY. THAT CONSIDERS THE PLANT FOR A LOT OF FUTURE USES BOTH ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE. DUAL ELECTRICAL FEET ALONE COST $12 MILLION.
THE CLASS GIVEN TO US BY ENCORE ESSENTIALLY IS TO CHECK THE CITY HAS THE RIGHT TO BRING IN.
I WILL SAY THAT ONE OF THE WAYS WE ARE APPROACHING THAT IS LOOKING AT ON-SITE GENERATORS WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH A REQUIREMENT FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.
IN THIS COST THAT ALREADY INCLUDES EMERGENCY GENERATORS SO HAVING THAT ELECTRICAL FEET IS REALLY ADDING THE BELT AND SUSPENDERS. THE COST THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY REEVALUATING AND STICKING WITH THE PRIMARY FEED. THE OTHER THING THAT WE ARE SEEING IS THAT IT'S A CLASSIC ASSUMPTION OF A CONTRACT OVERHEAD PROFIT.
IT'S AROUND 18%. THE TAXES ON TO THE UNIT COST AND ANDERSON WITH THE ACTUAL BID PRICE WILL BE. JUST LOOKING OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS THE WAY CONTRACTORS ARE BIDDING PROJECTS THEY'RE JUST NOT HUNGRY RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE ABLE TO BID AT A MUCH HIGHER OVERHEAD RATE. IT'S A SELLERS MARKET IF YOU WILL IN TERMS OF WHETHER YOU ARE A CONTRACTOR. OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE YOU A REALISTIC IDEA OF COST AND SO
[01:20:09]
WE'VE BROUGHT THAT NUMBER UP TO 25% JUST TO REFLECT ON WHAT WE SEE AS CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS. WE CAN MOVE THIS OUTSIDE AND PUTTING AWNING OVER THEM.TO REEVALUATE THE NEED AS A BACKUP TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONCRETE STRUCTURE THAT MIGHT BE AN OPTION FOR GETTING RID OF SOME OF THOSE DEEP PEERS.
AND THEN I SEE MY SUPPORTED EDUCATION CONSTRUCTION PHASE AND LABOR STREAMLINE FOR COST CONTROL. YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT THE SAME LABOR POOL THAT SAMSUNG IS USING TO BUILD THAT PLANT IS THE SAME AND THEY WILL BE MEETING TO BUILD THE PLANT HERE. THERE IS LESS COMPETITION FOR FIXED LABOR IN THIS MARKET.
WE ARE SEEING FOLKS BRING IN LABOR FROM OTHER CITIES TO THE HOUSTON AND DALLAS AREA SPECIFICALLY TO OFFSET THAT AND IT COMES WITH THINGS LIKE PER DIEM COSTS AND HOTEL STAYS.
IT ALLOWS FOR A SIGNIFICANT COST ESCALATION WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL PROVE TO BE CONSERVATIVE.
THIS IS THE POINT AT WHICH WE WANT TO BE CONSERVATIVE WITH THE COST.
IN ORDER TO MEET THE FUNDING REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS PROJECT WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY FOR PROJECT FINANCING.
THE PROJECT WAS INITIALLY SLATED TO BE COVERED WITH DIRECT BOND FUNDING.
THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS FOR FINANCING MARGIN STRUCTURE PROJECTS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. WE TRY TO LOWER THE OVERALL DEBT SERVICE COST OF THE PROJECT. THE TITLE 16 PROGRAM THAT OFFERS GRANTS UP TO $30 MILLION FOR THE PROJECTS. THE FACT THAT WE ARE PURSUING A TYPE ONE WE USE PERMIT AS PART OF THIS PROJECT AND EVENTUALLY SETTING IT UP TO BE A PROVIDING PLANT THAT GENERATES REVENUE FOR THE CITY CLASSIFIES THIS AS A PROJECT THAT QUALIFIES THE CITY IS GRANT FUNDING.
THAT'S WHAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE JOBS ACT WITH MONEY COMING DOWN THIS YEAR.
THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY AVAILABLE FOR THESE GRANTS. THE FINANCIAL MODEL SHOWS SAVINGS OF $57.6 MILLION IN TOTAL DEBT SERVICE AS WE PURSUE THIS.
THAT'S BASED ON THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE RATES FOR BONDS AS WELL AS EPA LOANS.
FIRST PURSUING A COST ESCALATION WAS REQUIREMENTS LIKE DAVIS-BACON AND BY AMERICA. SEVERAL OF THOSE OPTIONS HAVE VARIANCES THAT WE CAN PURSUE AS WELL AS THE LAW IS BELOW THE STANDARD OF WHAT THE CONTRACTORS PAYING THEIR EMPLOYERS IN ORDER TO RETAIN THOSE SO THAT'S NOT REALLY A COST ESCALATION.
THESE AGENCIES HAVE A VERY HEAVY POCKET AND ARE LOOKING TO LOAN THESE FUNDS TO THE MUNICIPALITIES. WE THINK IT'S A VERY FEASIBLE FUNDING OPTION FOR YOU.
IN LOOKING AT NEXT STEPS THE FINAL DESIGN PHASE WILL FOCUS ON DELIVERY MILESTONES AND REDUCING PROJECT COST. WE REALIZE THAT THIS IS A BIG NUMBER AND WE HAVE A LOT OF BELLS AND WHISTLES IN THE PLANT RIGHT NOW. WE KNOW EVERYTHING COST NOW AND HAVING TO FIND EFFICIENCY. WE ARE SUBMITTING THE FINAL 30% PACKAGE ON MAY 31.
WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE DIRECTLY INTO THE FINAL DESIGN ON THE PLANT.
IT INCLUDES THE DESIGN PROGRESSION AND IT'S THE WORK PACKAGE THAT HELPS GET AHEAD OF
[01:25:03]
THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE. FILLING OUT AND ADMINISTERING THE FUNDING APPLICATIONS.AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTION WITH STUFFING AND OBSERVATION. THIS IP ON THE AGENDA GOES THROUGH FINAL COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT. THAT IS THE END OF MY
PRESENTATION OF AN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. >> QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL?
>> TWO OF THEM. ONE WITH THE NUMBER GOING UP SAVING $40 MILLION WITH NOT HAVING TO GO TO THE 24 MGD PEAK FLOW. BUT THEN WE HAVE $69 MILLION INCREASE BECAUSE OF THESE OTHER THINGS AND POSSIBLY NOT TO DO MANY OF THEM.
WHEN YOU SAY 69 IS THAT ASSUMING THAT'S NOT WHAT THE COST EXHALATION IS?
>> THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY LOOKING AT THE CURRENT WITH NEW ITEMS INCLUDED.
AND THEN DEDUCTING THE 20% SAVINGS FROM THE REDUCTION. EVEN IF WE BROUGHT THOSE ITEMS IN WE SEWED ABOUT THE SIZE THOSE FOR THE FACTOR WHICH MADE THEM LARGER.
>> ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS FOR THE REDUNDANT AND ELECTRIC.
WE CLEARLY HAVE THESE REDUNDANCIES. I WOULD ARGUE THAT THE GENERATOR ARGUE WOULD BE BETTER BECAUSE THE ISSUE HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTION COMING TO THE FACILITY VERSUS HAVING THE ABILITY TO GENERATE POWER LOCALLY ON THE ACTUAL SITE WHICH IS A SECONDARY ISSUE. I'M CURIOUS IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ADD IN FOR FUTURE PHASE FROM THE SECONDARY ENCORE. WE ARE ADDING A SECONDARY FEE TO THE GRID WHERE THE SWITCH GEARS ARE TO POWER THE PLANT. WITH A SINGLE FEED GENERATOR THERE IS FULL POWER REDUNDANCY AT THE PLANT IS DESIGNED. THIS KIND OF THING WE HAVE A SORT OF AN EXTRA ITEM THAT COULD BE DEALT BACK TO SAVE COST. TOGETHER WITH THE QUESTION THERE'S A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU HAVE TWO FEEDS. YOU HAVE A SEPARATE TRANSFORMER LOCAL SWITCHGEAR AND THEN REDUNDANT POWER FEEDS TO THE VARIOUS DISTRIBUTION STATIONS AT THE PLANT. THERE'S LITTLE COST BEYOND RUNNING A SECOND HOLE LINE OUT TO THE PLANT AND HAVING A SECOND SERVICE. THERE IS A REDUNDANCY THAT YOU ADD IN. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE THE ACTUAL BID FROM ONCOR ABOUT 10 MILLION BUT WE ARE SAYING THAT THE TOTAL SAVINGS WOULD BE AROUND 12 BECAUSE HE WOULD BE
STRIPPING OUT SOME OF THOSE ON-SITE REDUNDANCIES AS WELL. >> WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN HAVE THOSE ON-SITE REDUNDANCIES BUT DOES NOT DO THE 10 MILLION?
>> WE CAN SORT OF LEAVE IT. WE WOULDN'T WANT TO BUY THE TRANSFORMER AND HAVE IT UNUSED THAT WE CAN KIND OF LEAVE THE SYSTEM AVAILABLE TO BE PARALLELED IN THE FUTURE AND I
THINK THAT'S MORE OF THE SPACE AND CONSIDERATION. >> DID YOU LOOK AT THE TWO POINT MILLION TO THAT IS WAS AVAILABLE GRANTS WHICH I THINK WOULD BE GOOD?
>> ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF CLASSIFICATIONS OR CATEGORIES. EVEN DUAL PLUMBING ON SOME RESTROOM FACILITIES REUSE THAT WATER TO FLUSH THE REALLY OPENS IT UP TO A LOT OF POINTS OF
[01:30:07]
VIEWS. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC USES THAT ARE IDENTIFIED YET.NE OF THE FIRST STEPS THAT WE TAKE ON THIS IS PART OF THE CONTRACT THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU FOR CONSIDERATION IS THAT WE ARE DOING A VERY QUICK TURNAROUND ON THE FEASIBILITY STUDY. IT IS THAT IT DEFINES A VERY CONCEPTUAL POINT OF VIEW IN DEVELOPING A COST ESTIMATE FOR THOSE WHICH SETS YOU UP FOR THAT I DON'T HAVE AN EXAMPLE. IF THE MATTER FOR YOU THEY CAN BRING IN FROM THAT.IT'S GENERALLY SOMEWHAT OF A DISCOUNT OFF OF YOUR PORTABLE WATER RATES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER IF I MAY REMEMBER WHO ASKED. WHAT ARE THINGS WE CAN DO AS A COMMUNITY WILL HAVE PROCLAMATION PROJECT WAS AVAILABLE: LOCATOR TRANSMISSION LINES ON A MAJOR SEWER PROJECT IS HOW DO YOU DISTRIBUTE WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO?
>> BASICALLY CREATE A NEW WATER DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR NONPORTABLE USES.
THE BIGGEST ONE IS IN CENTRAL TEXAS WHICH IS CURRENTLY THE LOCATION SO YOU CAN EASILY GET THAT WATER AVAILABLE TO BE USED FOR IRRIGATION. YOU CAN ALSO TYPE THAT WATER.
>> WOULD BASICALLY PUMP THE WATER INTO THE CREEK AND LET IT RUN DOWN FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO WITHDRAW. THOSE ARE TWO THINGS RIGHT AWAY THAT YOU COULD EITHER HAVE NONPORTABLE USES AND HAVE A COUPLE TYPE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WHICH IS NONPORTABLE IRRIGATION OR NONPORTABLE WATER USES. IRRIGATION IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONE.
OR YOU CAN ESSENTIALLY SET THIS UP TO WHERE YOU HAVE A WATER TREATMENT ADD-ON AT SOME POINT
AND THEN TURNED HIS BACK ON TO POTABLE WATER TO BE USED. >> WE ACTUALLY WANT AT A FUEL STATION SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THIS ALREADY IN PLACE. THE CONCEPT THAT COMES FROM THE CONTRACTORS WITH NONPORTABLE WATERS AND KEEPING THE SITE DUST FREE.
REESTABLISHING VEGETATION. WE'RE USING THE WATER AND RESELLING IT.
WE THE STATION IN THERE SO THEY CAN COME AND PURCHASE IT FROM US.
THEY LOAD THEIR TRUCK AND DO WHATEVER THEY NEED. >> I GUESS THE DISINFECTION SYSTEM IF I'M SAYING THAT RATE. HOW MANY OTHER WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS IN TEXAS USE THIS TECHNOLOGY? ARE WE THE FIRST PILOT PROGRAM OF THE SORTS THEM AND ALSO DOES THIS DISINFECTION SYSTEM USE ANYWHERE ELSE THROUGHOUT THE US? I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE GET AWAY FROM THE UV SYSTEM WHERE WE ARE FORCED OUT OF THE
TECHNOLOGY. >> IS A LOWER OPERATIONAL COSTS OF FROM A LIFE PERSPECTIVE IT'S STILL THE WAY TO GO. THIS ACID IS A PARACHUTE DROP
[01:35:04]
IN FOR THREE YEARS. IT'S VERY LOW CAPITAL INTENSITIES.SINCE HER LIFECYCLE IS ONLY THREE YEARS THAT MONEY IS OUT IN THAT WAY.
>> TWO POINT IT'S A VERY WELL PROVEN TECHNOLOGY. AT THE STATE LEVEL ADOPTION FROM A REGULATORY STANDPOINT. THERE ARE FIVE DIFFERENT FACILITIES WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT ARE INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES. WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THOSE FACILITIES IT'S MOVING FORWARD WITH THE ADOPTION.
IT'S BASED ON THE SAFETY RECORD AND HOW EASY IT IS TO IMPLEMENT AND MANAGE.
AND SO TO THAT END IF THE GOVERNING GUIDELINES FOR REGULATORY STANDPOINTS FOR WHAT TREATMENT PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES ARE ALLOWED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
TC Q IS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF ADDING PA TO CHAPTER 217. THE DRAFT PROCESS IN THE PUBLIC, PROCESS WITH THE FINAL REVIEW. THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT BIG PROCESS AND SELL WE CAME IN. THEY GOT THE WHEELS TURNING WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION TO GO THROUGH THAT ADOPTION PROCESS. IT WAS A DAY THAT WE SUBMITTED FOR A WEEK BEFORE WE SUBMITTED THE TESTING PROGRAM TO RELEASE HIS DRAFT REGULATIONS.
DRAFT REGULATIONS ARE PUBLIC AND IN FACT TOOK THOSE REGULATIONS AND INCORPORATED THEM INTO OUR TESTING PROTOCOL. THEN SUBMITTED THAT THE TC Q AND THEY WERE VERY INTERESTED IN THAT. WITH HAVING A VERY HEAVILY FOCUSED STARTUP.
. AT FULL SKILL TO GET THE PROCESS UP AND RUNNING AND ONLINE. THE FULL SKILL PART IS VERY IMPORTANT.
IT WASTES THE FLOW BACK IF IT'S TECHNOLOGY. WITH THIS WHEN THEY'RE ALLOWING US TO GO DIRECTLY TO FULL-SCALE AND THAT'S A BIG DEAL BECAUSE IT CUTS ON A 90 DAY WINDOW OF THE SIDESTREAM WASTING'S YOU CAN GO DIRECTLY TO THE FULL PLAN.
THAT ONE DEMONSTRATES THE CONFIDENCE WITH THE TECHNOLOGY. >> THEY SET IT UP FOR US.
IT'S CHEMICAL TOTES AND FEEDBACK YOU GET AT WALMART. THEIR OFF-THE-SHELF ITEMS.
>> THEY CAN HOOK IT UP AND PASS IT INTO THEIR SYSTEM AND GET IT UP AND RUNNING WITH VERY LITTLE TIME. THE DATA IS OUT ON THE STREET RIGHT NOW.
I THINK IT CLOSES ON WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK AND BRA IS MANAGING THE BED THROUGH AN ESTABLISHED LINE ITEM THAT COVERS THE COST FOR THIS ITEM. THAT LINE ITEM WAS ABOUT $300,000. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PROJECT IDENTIFIED.
THEY CAME IN AND THAT WAS ANOTHER DECISION POINT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SQUEEZE $2 MILLION
OF CAPITAL TO 300,000 SO THAT WAS A GOOD OPTION. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION FROM
COUNSEL? >> I HAVE A QUESTION I JOINED LATE SO I APOLOGIZE.
[01:40:09]
HE DOES MAYBE ALREADY WENT OVER THIS. IT'S NOT A QUESTION FOR JANE.DO WE HAVE ANY ART FOR FUNDING BACK UP THAT SHOULD BE USED HERE?
>> COUNCILMEMBER THE CITY I BELIEVE HAS ROUGHLY $2 MILLION OF FUNDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY SLATED TO BE USED FOR ANOTHER WATER PROJECT. THE FUNDS FROM THE COUNTY THAT THEY HAVE PUT ON THE TABLE FOR THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER LINE DOWN 33 AND 49 SHOW IT'S THAT
[9.2. Receive presentation regarding Emory Crossing PID for purpose of working toward the issuance of $9.7M in PID bonds for Phase II. (Anne LaMere, Rick Rosenberg, Development Planning & Financing Group and Michael Slack, Taylor Morrison)]
OPTION SO I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS AVAILABLE TO BE A■PPLIED TOTHIS. >> IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THEY ARE OFFERING SINCE WE ARE
ESSENTIALLY GUINEA PIG FOR THE PILOT PROGRAM? >> LOTS OF GOODWILL AT TC Q
AND WE WILL TAKE THAT. >> UNFORTUNATELY NO ON THE FINANCIAL FRONT.
>> IT WAS EVERYTHING I HAD. >> THAT BRINGS US UP TO ITEM 9.2.
RECEIVE PRESENTATION REGARDING EMERY CROSSING THE PID FOR THE PURPOSE OF WORKING TOWARDS THE ISSUANCE OF A $9.7 MILLION AND PID BONDS FOR PHASE 2. > FOR THE RECORD AND THE INTERIM FINANCE DIRECTOR THIS EVENING WE HAVE WITH US A FEW INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL PRESENT THE EMERY CROSSING PID BONDS UPDATE AND SUMMARY. THAT IS MICHAEL'S SLOT WHO IS WITH TAYLOR MORRISON. ALSO RICK ROSENBERG WHO IS WITH DP FG.
ALSO TONIGHT WE HAVE WITH US BART FOWLER WHO IS THE CITY BOND COUNSEL.
WE WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR TAYLOR MORRISON. WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE PROJECT TONIGHT. YOU MENTIONED EARLIER WITH EMERY CROSSING.
I KNOW YOU ARE AWARE OF THAT AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THE HOTEL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT WAS CREATED UNDER THIS. AS WE WORK TOWARDS THE PROCESS OF BONDS INTO THE NEXT IMPROVEMENT AREA. A COUPLE YEARS AGO WE SOLD THE BONDS FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER ONE WHICH MADE UP THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE 1 AND TWO. THOSE ARE COMPLETE ON THE GROUND NOW AND HAVE BEEN FOR YOUR HALF OR TWO YEARS ROUGHLY. IT'S A HOLD ON THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND ITS 1341 TOTAL ODDS. THOSE ARE 60 FOOT LOTS AND THOSE ARE FRONT LOTS WITH THE RESPECTIVE LOT COUNTS THERE. WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT TO SELL SOME OF THOSE TO ANOTHER FOLDER SO IT'S PROJECTED SALES PRICE. THOSE OF THE CURRENT CELL PRICES ON OUR PROJECT BELOW. THIS IS WHAT MAKES UP THE ENTIRE 1341 MONTHS.
IT'S A DEVELOPMENT PHASE IS WHICH MAKES UP FOR PID IMPROVEMENT AREAS.
DOES A NINTH PHASE WHICH IS THE AMENITY CENTER AND THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW.
WE'RE DEVELOPING FROM WEST TO EAST. THE TWO PHASES ON THE GROUND MAKES UP THE NUMBER ONE AREA ON THE PET WHICH IS THAT WESTERN AREA AND NORTHWESTERN OF THEIR WITH PHASES ONE AND TWO. THOSE TWO PHASES BILLED JUST BEYOND THAT FIRST ROUND ABOUT TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA. THE IMPROVEMENT AREA NUMBER TWO THAT WE ARE PRESENTING THIS
[01:45:07]
EVENING AND TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HIS RELIGIOUS RIGHT THERE SOUTH AND EAST ADJACENT TO THAT ROUNDABOUT CONTINUING EAST AGAIN WITH PHASES THREE AND FOUR.THAT CONTINUES WITH PHASE FOR OUT TO 1661 THE COMMISSION WE NEED.
>> JUST THE SUMMARY FOR IMPROVEMENT TO WITH PHASES THREE AND FOUR.
THERE'S 4-1-1 LOTS. WITH THOSE LOT COUNTS THERE IT'S THE SAME MIX.
ON THE FINANCIAL SIDE OF HIGH-LEVEL WITH THE PID EVALUATION IS FOR THE LOT
VALUE. >> IS HARD TO TELL YOU HERE AT THAT'S REALLY MAKE A PHASES THREE AND FOUR. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE PROUD OF THE COMMUNITY AS THE BENEFITS BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ON THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND WHAT THEY'VE ALLOWED. WE HAVE HIGHER DESIGN STANDARDS.
JUST A LOT OF DIFFERENT AESTHETICALLY EDITIONS ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT WE TYPICALLY ARE ABLE TO DO. WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER 28 ACRES OF PARKLAND WITH POCKET PARKS IN THE FUTURE PHASE. BEYONC? AMENITY CENTER IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW AND SHOULD BE OPEN AND A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WE FINALLY GOT THE WINDOWS IN THIS WEEK.
IN THE PFA THERE WAS A PROVISION THAT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETE PRIOR TO BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE 4. WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO FINISH IT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMPLETION OF PHASE 3 WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. WE ARE LOOKING TO PAVE IN THE END OF JUNE OR EARLY JULY. THE LAST PHASE PROBABLY WILL START IN EARLY Q2 OF NEXT YEAR.
WE ARE WELL AWARE AND HAVE THE ACQUIREMENT OF THE PFA FOR THAT.
THE EXISTING POP IS WHAT RUNS FROM THE INJURY ALONG THE BOULEVARD.
IT'S ALMOST 3900 FEET OF THAT. THE PROPOSED PATH IS WHAT CONTINUES FROM THAT POINT.
IT CONTINUES EAST OUT TO 1660 WHICH IS BUILT OUT AT EMERY CROSSING BOULEVARD.
LASTLY THERE IS AN EXISTING TRAIL THAT RUNS ALONG THE CREEK AT 3700 FEET.T'S 2 MILES OF TRAILS THAT ARE EXISTING. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE NOT PIT ELIGIBLE IMPROVEMENTS BUT ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY AS THE COAT NEIGHBORHOOD COLLECTOR ROADS WITH 1500 MILLION WITH OFF-SITE UTILITIES THAT WERE BUILT AND FIT FOR PHASE. AND THEN LASTLY THIS PFA WAS APPROVED AND CONTEMPLATING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THERE WAS A $2 MILLION COMMITTEE BENEFIT FEE. THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH $500,000 PAID AT THE FIRST BOND
ISSUANCE. >> THERE ARE RENDERINGS OF THE CENTER COMING ONLINE SOON WITH THE POOL AND SPLASH PAD AND TWO SEPARATE OUTDOOR PAVILIONS AND TO PLAY SCAPES.
IMAGINE NOT ONLY THE AMENITY BUT THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. WE HAVE SOMEONE OUT THERE FULL-TIME WHEN THAT IS OPEN. A COUPLE OF THE RENDERINGS FROM OTHER DIRECTIONS, KIND OF GOING BACK TO THE TRAIL SYSTEM TO SHOW IT'S HARD TO SEE. AT THE BLUE LINE THAT RUNS ACROSS EMERY CROSSING BOULEVARD IS AN EXISTING 10. THE TOWN RED LINE IS EXISTING TRAIL AS WELL. WE IMPROVE THE AREA ONE IN TWO PHASES THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY

ACTIVELY BUILDING AND THEN IT'S GOING VERY WELL. THESE ARE THE NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE PRODUCED SO FAR. WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER 200 SALES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND JUST UNDER 200 CLOTHINGS. IT'S A 60 FOOT LATCH WITH ONLY FOUR OF THEM TOTAL.WE REALLY HAVEN'T STARTED THE PROGRAM JUST YET. WE ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT TO SELL 40 OF THOSE TOWNHOMES WITH WEEKLY HOMES. THOSE OF THE PROJECT THE PRICES
THEY ARE OFF TO THE SIDE AS WELL. >> IS OF THE AVERAGE CELL
PRICES TODAY I APOLOGIZE. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'M RICK ROSENBERG THE PRINCIPAL WITH DP FG. I'M PLEASED TO BE BACK IN FRONT OF YOU ON THIS PROJECT. AS MICHAEL DESCRIBED AS A TOTAL 1341 LOTS.
IT IS ESTIMATED THAT UPON BUILDOUT IT WILL BE OVER $578 MILLION OF ASSESSED VALUE.
THE PRIOR PHASE OF THE PARENT AND THE CURRENT PHASE ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE AN EQUIVALENT TAX RATE OF THE ANNUAL PAYMENT EQUAL TO $.41 FOR PROPERTY TAX RATE.
THAT PUTS US AT A TOTAL EFFECTIVE TAX RATE CURRENTLY AT $2.76.
UNDER THE FINANCING AGREEMENT THE PFA WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN APPROVAL OF UP TO $3.05.
WE'RE KEEPING IT AS MARKETABLE AS POSSIBLE AND KEEPING THAT RATE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OVERALL RISK DECREASING. IN TERMS OF TAX BENEFITS UPON BUILDOUT IT IS EXPECTED THAT UNDER THE CURRENT TAX RATE THE CITY OF HUTTO WILL GENERATE $2.4 MILLION PER YEAR.
ABOUT 30% OF THAT IS APPLICABLE TO PROVING THE AREAS THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING TONIGHT.
OVERALL ALMOST $13.6 MILLION OF TAX REVENUES ARE UPON FULFILLED BACK.
THE TWO DOLLARS AND 76 TO PUTS EMERY CROSSING VERY COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES IN TOWN.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOVE CROSS CREEK AND SIENA. WE HAD NO PUSHBACK.
THE BUILDERS HAD NO PUSHBACK FROM BUYERS IN TERMS OF PID BEING AN OBSTACLE TO THE SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT. THERE ARE ABOUT $34 MILLION OF CAUTION REMAINING THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE ELIGIBLE. IN THIS PROJECT WE ARE ONLY INCLUDED THE PID WHICH ARE THE PHASES OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THINGS THAT BENEFIT THE ENTIRE PROJECT ARE BEING FUNDED DIRECTLY BY TAYLOR MORRISON OUTSIDE OF THE PET SUCH AS COLLECTOR ROADS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. WE ARE DOING JUST PHASE BY PHASE FUNDING AND SIMPLER APPROACHES FOR FINANCIAL STANDPOINT. IN THIS CASE IS OVER $13.4 MILLION OF PID ELIGIBLE COSTS. AS YOU SEE WE'RE FINDING ABOUT 8 MILLION OF THAT THROUGH THE BOND ISSUE. A SIGNIFICANT EQUITY CONTRIBUTION ABOVE AND BEYOND
THE PIT. >> THIS REPRESENTS A GRANT AGREEMENT.
THESE NUMBERS ARE ACTUALLY PREPARED BY HILLTOP. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING SPECIFICS. THE SIX OF THE TOTAL BURDEN HOMEOWNER WILL HAVE WITHIN EACH LOT TYPE. WE ARE ESTIMATING AND I PUT $7 MILLION ON ISSUE IS SUBJECT TO INCREASE OR DECREASE FOR HILLTOP ANALYSIS. WE'RE USING A 5.61% AVERAGE INTEREST RATE FOR THE BOND. THIS WILL NOT ABOUT $8.1 MILLION OF FUNDS TO BE
[01:55:03]
REIMBURSED TO TAYLOR MORRISON FOR THEIR COST. THERE WILL BE A $5.3 MILLION DEVELOPER COST ABOVE AND BEYOND THE PIT. WE EXPECT TO $9.7 MILLION BOND ISSUANCE OVER 35 YEAR TERM FOR $22 MILLION TOTAL PAYMENTS OVER THE LIFE OF THE PIT.ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD WANT TO DISCUSS WITH THE COUNCIL IS TO GET INPUT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO QUESTIONS OR IF THERE IS ARE QUESTIONS WE CAN ANSWER THEM.
WE ARE WORKING UNDER PRELIMINARY SCHEDULES TO COME BACK TO YOU NEXT MONTH FOR DETAILED BOND DOCUMENTS TO GO FORWARD. THE APPRAISALS UNDERWAY AND WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE THAT TOMORROW OR MONDAY. THE DRAFT APPRAISAL.
THE UPDATE OF THE SURFACE ASSESSMENT PLAN HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED ON THE PRELIMINARY OFFER MEMORANDUM HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED TODAY. WE ARE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS OF THE BOND DOCUMENTS. IF THIS IS A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD PROCESS WHEN YOU GET TO THE SECOND PHASE. WE HAVE THE DOCUMENTS VERY EASILY.
WITH THAT WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
>> JUST ONE QUESTION. ARE THOSE BONDS COLORABLE? CAN YOU REFINANCE THE RATES?
>> ARE TYPICALLY IS A LOCKOUT. AND BART FOWLER CAN DESCRIBE IN MORE DETAIL.
IT'S WITHIN A WRITER FEELS IS BEST FOR PRICING. AT SOME POINT IT WILL GET REFINANCED OUT OF THE LOWER INTEREST RATE AND WILL GET BENEFITED TO THE HOMEOWNERS NOT THE DEVELOPER. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE RESPONSE RATED AND LOWER THE
INTEREST RATE. >> OF 13 MILLION ELIGIBLE PET COSTS FOR YOUR ONLY ASKING FOR $8 MILLION. IS THAT TO KEEP THE TAX RATE LOWER?
>> YOU WANT TO KEEP EQUIVALENT TO PHASE 1. WE ALSO DIDN'T WANT TO GO ABOVE THAT TOTAL RATE.
>> ONLY THING I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HIS MONTHLY PAYMENT PER PERSON ASSUMING THEY DIDN'T PUT
IN FOR 70,000 BASE LOT. >> THE REALITY IS THE HOMEOWNERS LOOK AT THE TOTAL ON ITS OWN. I THINK WE DISCUSSED WITH COUNSEL BEFORE AND I'M HAPPY TO DO SO AGAIN. THE COSTS THAT THE PIT ALLOWS THE FILTER TO SELL WITH THE HOME AND A LOWER PRICE. THE HOMEOWNERS GET SAVINGS AND BEING PART OF THE PIT.
IF THERE WAS NO PID THE $492,000 HOME PRICES CLOSER TO $592,000.
>> IS BECAUSE A LOT PRICE GOES UP. >> THE DEVELOPER STILL HAS TO GET THE COST PAID IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. IT'S A 35 YOUR TIME.
IN THIS CASE AND AN UPFRONT PAYMENT. >> EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THE HOUSE PAYMENT IS A HOUSE PAYMENT. IT'S A FREE MARKET OF SUMMONSES 4000 IS TOO HIGH FOR ME EITHER BY $500,000 HOME IN THE DISTRICT OR THEY WILL BUY 400 OR 350. AND SO FOR ME IT'S ALWAYS SEEN AS BENEFITS TO THE CITY.
THE COMMERCIAL PEOPLE COME IN AND THEY WANT US TO GIVE THEM MONEY.
THEN WHEN YOU GUYS COME THEY TELL YOU YOU PAY FOR EVERYTHING AND THEN WHEN YOU GO TO REFINANCE OR FINANCE IT THIS WAY THERE IS ALSO THIS COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT WE WILL TACK ON ON TOP OF YOUR WASTEWATER FEES AND SO IF YOU DON'T SELL ANY HOMES THAT YOU PAY THE FEE. IF YOU SELL IT COMPLETELY OUT THAT HOWEVER IN A FREE MARKET
[02:00:05]
PICK THE HOMES THEY PICKED FROM. >> YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
HIS IS NOT WHAT I WOULD DEFINE AS INCENTIVE. AS HOMEOWNERS LOOK AT THE TOTAL PAYMENTS THEY CAN GO ELSEWHERE BUT PROBABLY WON'T GET THE SAME AMENITIES.
EVERY HOMEOWNER HAS ITS OWN OBJECTIVES. ASKED MISTER ROSENBERG TO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS COMING OFF AS THAT. IS THAT $2 MILLION RESTRICTED
TO JUST THE PIT DISTRICT? >> IT IS GENERATED BY THE PROJECT AND IS PLANNED TO BE PAID FOR EQUAL INSTALLMENTS OF $500,000. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND.
>> I THINK WHAT SHE'S ASKING RICK IS TO THE DOLLARS HAVE TO BE USED?
>> THEY WILL BE USED AS THE CITY SEES FIT. THEY ARE NOT THE DOLLARS
ACTUALLY DEVELOPER FOR SUPPER DOLLARS. >> ENABLERS HAVE A MIXTURE OF TOWNHOMES AND DETACHED CONDOS. THERE'S AN AGE AWAY BUT YOU GUYS HAVE A CONDO REGIME ON TOP
OF THAT? >> YES WE DO. IT'S PLOTTED AS A CONDO REGIME
WITH THE MASTER ASSOCIATION AND A CONDO ASSOCIATION. >> I THINK I'M GETTING TO COUNCIL OVER CLARKS POINT. IF I'M BUYING ONE OF THOSE CONDOS YOU HAVE A LOT MORE FEES AND ASSESSMENTS TACKED ON WHICH I UNDERSTAND WE ARE KEEPING THINGS IN A REASONABLE WAY.
ONE IS YOU GUYS PULL THAT PERCENTAGE? >> THE INTEREST RATE WILL BE PRAISED BY THE MARKET AND THESE NUMBERS WILL BE ADJUSTED AT THAT POINT.
WE ARE EXPECTING SOME PRICING ON BOMBS TOMORROW WITH MORE RECENT TRANSACTIONS IN THE 5.2% RANGE. WE ALWAYS TRY TO GO CONSERVATIVELY AND BEAT THAT
NUMBER TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER. >> AND THE OPEN SPACE IS NOT
VIABLE LAND AREAS IN THE FLOODPLAIN? >> IS A LITTLE OVER 22 ACRES OF THE FLOODPLAIN AND I THINK IN THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT IS CONTEMPLATED THAT WE NEED THAT TO THE CITY. WE HAVE NOT YET. THE BALANCE OF THAT IS AT LEAST TWO POCKET PARKS WITH THE MINIMUM ACREAGE. THE MAJORITY OF IT IS A LONG
BACK CREEK BUT THEN THERE IS A BALANCE OF THE POCKET MARKS. >> I NOTICED OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS ALSO HAD THE POOL AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER. IS THAT TRULY A COMMUNITY
BENEFIT OR IS THAT FOR THOSE THAT CAME TO THE AGE AWAY? >> THAT IS A PRIVATE
AMENITIES. >> I WAS A RELIGION ANTICIPATING IT FOR AN OPTION TO BUILD A REC CENTER. IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO AND SO THEN WE CONVERTED THAT TO A
PRIVATE AMENITIES SITE. >> I DEFINITELY WOULD AGREE THAT YOUR SLIDESHOW SHOWS COMMUNITY BENEFITS ON TWO SEPARATE SLIDES WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL POOL.
I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE. >> MY OTHER QUESTION FOR YOU AS FAR AS PLANS FOR PHASE 3 AND FOUR. HOW ARE YOU PLANNING ON GETTING THE TRAFFIC TRACKS TO PHASE 3 AND FOUR? ARE YOU GOING TO GO TO PHASE 1 AND TWO ARE YOU GOING TO USE
EMERY CROSSING BOULEVARD 1616 MOVING EAST TO WEST? >> IT DOESN'T EXTEND UNTIL PHASE 4 IS COMPLETE. IT'S WITH FACE FOR ONE IT MAKES THE CONNECTION.
AT THAT POINT TRAFFIC GOES FROM EITHER DIRECTION BUT CURRENTLY IT'S EMERY BOULEVARD WEST TO
[02:05:11]
EAST. YOU GUYS HAVE ANY PLANS TO POTENTIALLY DO SOME SORT OF CONSTRUCTION ROUTES ONLY OR SOME SORT OF HAVING A SECOND EMERGENCY EXIT TO GET THAT DONE SOONER THAN LATER SO THAT CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS AREN'T CONTINUING TO GO THROUGH THENEIGHBORHOOD. >> WE WANT TO GET THEM A BACK WAY AS SOON AS WE CAN.
IT'S JUST THE WAY THAT THE PROJECT LAYS OUT UTILITIES AND THE WAY THAT IT'S GOING FROM WEST TO EAST. UNTIL WE MAKE THAT CONNECTION WE DON'T HAVE AN ALL WEATHER ACCESS ROAD UNTIL THAT'S MADE. IT'S DEPENDING ON THE MARKET OF COURSE.
IT USUALLY IS THE MOST VIABLE ROUTE. WE TRY TO BRING IT FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION SO THAT HOMES ARE BEING BUILT FOR THAT VERY REASON.
JUST FOR CLARIFICATION THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FEE IS INTENDED FOR TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS AREA. DIDN'T SPECIFY WHERE. IT'S JUST IN THIS GENERAL AREA SO THAT TELLS YOU THAT THAT FEE CAN BE USED TO HELP RELIEVE SOME OF THAT TRAFFIC.
>> ON THAT NOTE WE DISCUSSED THAT AS THE COUNCIL AND WE APPROVE THE FEE SO I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT WHEN YOU HAVE A TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE IT IS RESTRICTED ON THE ROADS BUT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FEE YOU CAN USE IT ANYWHERE. WE'VE COLLECTED HALF $1 MILLION OF THIS SO FAR. IT IS NOT BEEN FOR TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION.
I LIKE FOR THE CITY MANAGER FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO COME UP WITH SOME PLAN FOR HOW TO
[10.1. Consideration and possible action regarding possible appointments, re-appointments and/or removals to City Boards, Commissions, Task Forces, Economic Development Corporations, Local Government Corporations and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Boards, City Council Liaisons, and Area Government appointments]
EARMARK THESE FUNDS SO THAT THEY GET USED FOR THAT PURPOSE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE NEXT HALF-MILLION TO DISAPPEAR INTO DIFFERENT PROJECTS IN THE CITY INSTEAD OF THE CENTER SECTION AND THE NEXT MORNING ON TOP OF THAT AS THE OTHER PHASES, SURE THAT MILLION HALF SO CLOSE TOWARDS THE CENTER SECTION.> I AGREE WITH THE COUNCILMEMBER.BELIEVE THAT'S ONE OF THE DETAILS IN THE BUDGET FOR SO MANY YEARS THAT THEY COME HAVE
WHATEVER LINE ITEM TO THE SEARS ACTION. >> WE DO THAT AS PART OF THE
BUDGET PROCESS THIS YEAR. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION THE CROSSING PIT?
>> I KNOW I'M ON ZOOM ZONE DIFFICULT TO BEAR. WHENEVER WE DID SOUTHGATE WE REQUIRED THAT THAT SECOND CONSTRUCTION ROAD BE PUT IN SO THAT THERE IS A CONTINUAL TRAFFIC GOING TO CITIZENS AREA AND I'M ALSO A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED THAT THERE IS NO SHORTCUTTING THROUGH HUTTO PARK TO GET OVER TO 1660 IS THE ROUTE.
I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING FOR COUNSEL TO ASK TO BE PUT IN SOONER THAN LATER.
I KNOW WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE AS A COUNCIL. >> THIS IS JUST ABOUT THE BOND THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S REALLY THE TIME FOR THAT. DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT COMING UP BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT. I'M ALSO NOT SURE THAT WE WERE NOT THERE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC
ON 1660 AT THIS TIME EITHER. >> WE ARE STARTING TO KIND OF MIGRATE OFF THE TOPIC.
JUST PID BONDS. DO I WANT THEM TO HAVE A 35 YEAR WITH THE RATE PROJECTION? THOSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN ADDRESSED WITH THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT AT THIS POINT. WE SHOULD'VE MADE THE DECISION FUN.
>> NOT THAT WE DIDN'T. LITERALLY SAID. >> I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO BE
FORGOTTEN. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL REGARDING THE PID BOND
ISSUANCE? >> THANK YOU GUYS.WE WILL WANT ITEM 10 ONE.
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING APPOINTMENTS, REAPPOINTMENTS OR REMOVALS FROM CITY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, TASKFORCES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT CORPORATIONS AND TACKETT TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE BOARDS, CITY
COUNCIL LIAISONS IN AREA GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENT. >> ON THIS ITEM BRIAN IS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ON THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE. IT'S CURRENTLY THE OTHER FIVE
[02:10:04]
THEY GET TO GET THROUGH THE ELECTIONS WE ON THEIR. BUT I'LL ASK ANGELA TO DO IS REACH OUT TO EACH CHAIR AND ASK IF THEIR EXPIRING SEATS WILL BE REAPPLIED.ALSO FROM THE CHAIR WE WANT TO KNOW THEM TO GIVE AN EMAIL BACK TO ANGELA IF THERE'S ANY
[13.1. Consideration and possible action on Ordinance No. O-2023-015 amending the Budget for the Fiscal Year of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 for mid-year budget amendment (First Reading) (Anne LaMere)]
CONCERNS ABOUT THEM BEING REAPPOINTED. IN ADDITION ONCE WE HAVE THAT I WANT TO TAKE THE OPENING LIST OF INSPIRING TERMS AND EXPIRE ON JUNE 30 AND BRING IT WITH UNIVERSITY. WE CAN GET OTHER APPLICATIONS OF PEOPLE TO GO.MY PLAN WOULD BE TO MEET ON JUNE 14 FOR THE INTERVIEWS ON JUNE 15 TO THEN APPOINT THEM TO THE EFFECTIVE CHAIN ON JULY 1 SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY GAPS IN THE COVERAGE.
IN ADDITION WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN OPENING ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING LIAISON.
MY THOUGHT ON THAT UNLESS COUNSEL CAN THINK OTHERWISE IS WE NORMALLY DO REAPPOINTMENTS ON THE JOB FOR JULY'S WE WANT TO WAIT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF WHOEVER TAKES PLACE CAN DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT AND VICE VERSA. THAT WAS MY THOUGHT ON THAT.
NO ACTION TONIGHT. >> LET'S DO THIS. SINCE WE HAVE, REAPPOINTMENTS OR REMOVALS, YOU CAN EMAIL EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF SHE
READ AS FAST AS HE TALKED. >> IS COMMUTE ON YOUR OWN SO IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS TIMING I WOULD SUGGEST YOU MEET AND WE USE THIS ITEM FOR APPOINTMENTS, REAPPOINTMENTS AND REMOVALS.
YOU GUYS WANT TO COME BACK WITH SOMETHING? ARE THERE ANY APPOINTMENTS,
APPOINTMENTS OR APPROVALS? >> REMOVING MYSELF FROM THE INCLUSION COMMISSION.
>> YOU CAN EITHER RESIGN A LETTER WAS SENT TO CITY DESIGNATION.
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING ACTIVE OR NOT. >> ANY OTHER?
>> WILL MOVE ON.F THERE'S NO COUNSEL IS A SHORT EXECUTIVE BECAUSE WE HAVE A FULL CROWD OF PEOPLE ITEMS I WOULD LIKE TO JUST 13.1. DURING THE MOVIE 1 TO 13.1.

>> TO GET THROUGH US A CURVEBALL. >> YOU LET.
>> YOU KNOW I LIKE TO DO THAT. >> I KNOW. >> AND BECAUSE I LEFT AND WAIT
TILL 1:00 IN THE MORNING? LET'S DO IT NOW. >> WILL THANK YOU.YOU.
>> IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THE SIGN-UP-UP. >> I ALWAYS HAVE A QUESTION
QUITE THE RECORD IN THE MIRROR IN TERMSIRROR IN TERMS. >> MY QUESTION IS CAN WE START TO REALLYI KNOW THERE'S TALK ABOUT THE T THE BOND WHEN ASKING HOW MUCH OF A PAIN IT IS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS QUARTERLY SO T I'M HAVING TO REMEMBER STUFF WE DID IN SEPTEMBER AND I CAN REMEMBER LAST WEEK OF WEEK OF TIMBER. COUPLE OF COMMENTS.E GOT THE EMAIL AND I WAS ASKED FOR AN UPDATE ON THE FUND. I HAVE AN 2 MILLION FROM ARPA I WILL RESERVE THAT FOR THIS OTHER TOPIC COMING OUT. I THINK TO BRING UP THE OLD
STUFF. >> WE HAVE TO HEAR THIS ON THE PART IMPROVEMENT FUND.
ORIGINALLY WE WERE TOLD IT WAS $90,000 FOR TREE. I WAS ASSUMING THAT WAS IMMIGRATION IRRIGATION FOR THE TREES. WHEN I DOLLARS FOR TREASON 40,000 (60,000 FOR ANOTHER. . THE EXPECTATION OF THE BUTT KICKING MORE TO THE BUDGET WHEN THINGS GO A LITTLE BIT OVER THAT HAPPENS.
THE ISSUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH A $60,000 IT'S NOT EVEN BUDGET BUT IT'S SPENT AND WE COME BACK LATER AND FIX IT REMINDS ME OF THE THING I HEARD WERE SOMEONE SAID GO AHEAD AND DO IT AND
[02:15:06]
I'LL JUST GET AN IF WE RUN GOVERNMENT THAT WAY IT SCARES ME.I RATHER SOMEONE COME UP AND SAY YOU HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM COUNSEL AND I'LL LET YOU HAVE IT. I KNOW WE'VE CHANGE THINGS. A GENERAL MOVE.
IT'S CAN BE INTERESTING FOR A BUDGET CONVERSATION WE HAVE SO MUCH MONEY AND INTEREST RATES HAVE CHANGED. WE HAVE BUDGETED FOR THE PUBLIC'S SAKE HUNDRED AND 8000 OF INTEREST. WE NOW REVISE THAT ALMOST $5.8 MILLION.
JUST IN THE GENERAL FUND ALONE WE BRING INTEREST TO 1,000,005. EVERYTHING I HAVE FOR 13.1.
>> I APPRECIATE PERSONALLY I WOULD BE DOING THIS TWICE A YEAR.
I WOULD BE UP TO THAT AS LONG AS WE DO THE UPDATES RATHER THAN AT LEAST COMMUNICATING IT THAT'S WHERE MY. THE NATION OF KINDER WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT'S CHANGED.
IT IS HARD TO REMEMBER SIX MONTHS AGO WE DID. I REMEMBER.
KEEP IN FRONT OF US AND HAVING A FILE THAT WE CAN REFER VERY HELPFUL FOR ME.
>> IS SOMEONE COMING IN. I'D REALLY LIKE TO JUST BE ABLE TO SEE KIND OF FROM A VERY DETAILED ASPECT WITH THE BUDGET IS. WITH THE PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT HAS BEEN REVISED. IT WILL ASSOCIATE YOUR WORK ON THIS.
I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE FREQUENTLY. I CAN SEE IT BOTH WAYS.
AGAIN I THINK JUST PROVIDING THE DETAILS LEAVES LITTLE DOUBT AND SO WHETHER WE MOVE TO DOING IT MORE FREQUENTLY OR WE KEEP IT AS IS. I THINK THE LEVEL OF THE FOLDS DETAILS REALLY HELPS OUT. I APPRECIATE IT. ORDERLY AS WELL.
TO CONCLUDE EVERY SINGLE MONTH AND WAITING. I THINK THREE MONTHS IS A
BETTER BALANCE. >> I AGREE BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AND WE NEED TO GET FROM FINE INTERVIEW WITH THE COST OF WHAT OR HAVING TO DO BECAUSE THEY GO AND DO THIS QUARTERLY VERSUS SEMIANNUALLY THE PRACTICE IN THE INDUSTRY. IN OUR CITY IS NOT REALLY THE WAY TO MAKE IT EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE. HAVING THE MATERIAL AND HAVING A FOLDER WHERE WE HAVE EACH ONE AS THEY CAN APPROVES THAT SAME NEED.
ADDING BURDEN TO SEE YOU CAN HAVE A WARM AND FUZZY THREE MONTHS INSTEAD OF THE GENERAL ACCEPTED SIX MONTHS I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE NEED OF THAT.
IF IT'S ONLY A ONE DAY EFFORT THAT'S A DIFFERENT QUESTION. IF IT'S MORE INVOLVED WHICH I THINK IT IS AND IS A REASON SIX MONTHS INSTEAD OF MONTHLY OR JUST RUNNING A REPORT AUTO
GENERATED THAT GETS YOUR ATTENTION. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. I WILL SAY THAT PART OF WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS THAT THERE WERE SOME ITEMS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE BUDGET.
THERE WERE SOME ITEMS THE PRIOR FINANCE DIRECTOR SAID SHE WOULD DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR AN A BUDGET AMENDMENT WAS NOT DONE. WE ARE PRESENTING THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT HOWEVER I DO AGREE WITH YOU. I'M NOT A FAN OF THE BUDGET. THE REASON IS IF YOU DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT WHAT YOU DO IS RESET YOUR BUDGET TO WHICH HER ACTUALS ARE.
I FIND GREAT VALUE IN VARIANCE ANALYSIS. AS THE NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR COMING AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT WHEN I LOOK AT THE BUDGET AND I SEE A VARIANCE AND I CAN GO ANALYZE THAT SOMETIMES I FOUND OUT I MISSED SOMETHING THAT I FORGOT TO SEND OUT THE INVOICES FOR THE PAYMENTS OR I FORGOT TO SEND OUT SOME OF THE PAIRS SUPPLIER.
I NEED TO ACCRUE AN EXPENSE BY SETTING A BUDGET AMENDMENT YOUR COVERING UP ANY VARIANCES RESET
[02:20:03]
LEADERS OF THIS VARIANCE OUT THERE SO THAT YOU CAN I CAN LOOK AT SUBSEQUENT PERIODS AND SAY WHAT DO WE PROCESS OR WHAT DID WE THINK WAS GOING TO OCCUR IN THE PROCESS AND WHAT CHANGED DURING THE YEAR? THE POP OUT AND ABOUT THE BOND ISSUE.WE INCURRED ALONE FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
THOSE VARIANCES ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN GETTING MY BUDGET RIGHT.
I WOULD RATHER SPEND MY TIME ON THE VARIANCE ANALYSIS THAN TRYING TO DO THE BUDGET AMENDMENT AND READJUSTING THE BUDGET. TO ME THE BUDGET IS WHEN IT WAS WHEN IT WAS SET INITIALLY AT THE VALUE COMES IN LOOKING AT THE VARIANCES.
OPINION. >> I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID BUT I THINK OUR PROBLEM IS WE HAD A TERRIBLE BUDGET FOR PART OF IT FOR THE RECORD BUT WE HAD A TERRIBLE BUDGET OF.
JUST $1 MILLION HERE IN HALF 1 MILLION HERE. SOMEHOW EVEN IN THAT TERRIBLE BUDGET PEOPLE WENT OUT AND SPENT MONEY THAT WAS EVEN BUDGETED.
AND SO TO ME THE BUDGET AMENDMENT IS A MECHANISM TO MAKE ILLEGAL SPENDING LEGAL BECAUSE IF IT WASN'T BUDGETED TO BE SPENT AND WE DID IT ANYWAY SOME POINT IN TIME WE EITHER HAVE TO MAKE IT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SPEND MONEY THAT WASN'T ALLOWED TO BE SPENT. I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THINGS LIKE THAT.
OVER 4000 HERE OR HAVE A RUNNING TOTAL BUT TO ME WE ARE HAVING TO PUT IN ITEMS THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN BUDGET. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO STOP DOING. THINK THIS NEXT BUDGET WILL SOLVE A LOT OF THIS TO WHERE YOU LOOK AT EVERYBODY'S CONCERNS ADDRESSED
BECAUSE THERE WON'T BE A NEED FOR PUTTING AND SPENDING. >> TO DOING MORE OFTEN BUDGET
AMENDMENT SAID. >> WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS YOU GO AND SPEND SOMETHING THAT YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SPEND WASN'T IN THE BUDGET. THAT'S AMENDMENT PROCESS IS.
THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE THE WRONG PLACE WHERE THAT DOESN'T EVER GET SPENT.
MS. QUARTERLY IT'S NOT GOING TO FIX THAT. >> WHAT I HEARD THE MAYOR SAYS THAT HE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH A FINANCE TEAM.
POLICY FOR OUR FUTURE AS A CITY. >> ITS FISCAL POLICY THAT NEEDS TO BE ADHERED TO AND INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING LET'S SPEND IT IT'S NOT THE RIGHT FISCAL PROCESS THAT YOU FOLLOW BUDGET AND. WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES YOU LOOK AT WHAT GOT PAID TWICE OR WHAT YOU'RE MISSING.
MY CAR INSURANCE ONE OF DOUBLE WHEN I'M LIKE WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
WHAT'S GOING ON SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND I KIND OF REALLY POINTED OUT.
>> THAT TO MY POINT. >> THERE SHOULD BE A BUDGET AMENDMENT BECAUSE WE SHOULD
HAVE THAT. >> YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE PERFECT KNOWLEDGE.
>> YOU NEVER HAVE PERFECT KNOWLEDGE SO YOU SHOULD EXPECT VARIANCES AND IF YOU ARE SPENDING YOUR TIME DURING THE VARIANCE ANALYSIS NOT DOING THE BUDGET AMENDMENT YOUR TIME IS BETTER SPENT AND YOU GET BETTER DATA. I WOULD RATHER SPEND TIME DOING THE VARIANCE ANALYSIS AND GIVE YOU MORE DETAILED REPORTS AND MORE NOISE ON THE COURT AS TO
WHY VARIANCE OCCURRED AND LEAVE THE VARIANCE THEY ARE. >> TO THAT DO WE HAVE THE NECESSARY SOFTWARE ANALYSIS AND QUICKLY REQUEST THAT CAME THROUGH?
TO SYSTEM AND DO AN ANALYSIS? >> WE HAVE SOFTWARE THAT PROVIDES US THE DATA HOWEVER YOU ACTUALLY NEED A HUMAN BEING TO ANALYZE THAT DATA. TO DIG DEEP AND SEE IF A DOUBLE PAYMENT OCCURRED. DID A PAYMENT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO OCCUR NOT OCCUR? DO WE HAVE THAT STAFF WITHIN FINANCE KURZWEIL WILL BE ASKING THE CITY MANAGER DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. THE BUDGET AND THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER TODAY.
>> WE DO HAVE. >> I WILL JUST A QUICK YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN.
THE THING THAT HAPPENED REALLY EARLY IN THE BUDGET YEAR. IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT IT WAS SPENT AND IT WASN'T BUDGETED. WHAT I DO AS A MANAGER THOUGHT OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
[02:25:02]
RIGHT NOW. EXPENDITURE AGAINST REPORT THAT'S NOT APPROPRIATE OR CORRECT. THAT EXPENDITURE WAS FLY. IT WOULD NORMALLY BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD DEAL WITH IF IT WERE AN EXTRANEOUS EXPENDITURE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT ANNE IS REFERRING TO THAT HAD AN EMAIL BACKING UP THE FACT THAT THERE WAS INTENDED TO BE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO COVER THAT EXPENSE AND IT WASN'T DONE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE WE HAVEN'T HAD EVENTS OCCURRED.
TO YOUR POINT GETTING MORE DETAILED OFFER THAT WE ARE ROLLING OUT COUNSEL ON THE PUBLIC GET TO THAN A HALF OR SO IS SPECIFICALLY TO SAY THIS PARK PROJECT INCLUDES THIS.
I'VE BEEN SAYING ALONG THAT WE NEED TO GET BETTER AT TELLING OUR STORY AND THE VALUE OF WHAT WE ARE PREVENTABLE NUMBER. THERE'S A LIZARD THAT NUMBER. THAT IS THE BETTER BUT THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT AND BUILDING TOGETHER. AT THE END OF THE THE BUDGET DOCUMENT IS A MANAGEMENT GUIDANCE DOCUMENT AND IS MEANT TO HAVE VARIANCE JUST BECAUSE YOU CANNOT PERCEIVE THE FUTURE 100% ACCURATELY. THAT IS ALSO HOW WE HELP HOLD EVERYBODY ACCOUNTABLE. IF THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT VARIANCES WELL WHAT WAS IT? THERE'S A BUNCH OF ACCOUNTING OPTIONS THAT SHE CAN GIVE BUT IT COULD BE DO WE UNDERESTIMATE THE COST OF FUEL? DID WE FORGET THAT WE ARE GOING TO BUDGET FOR THAT JULY 4TH PARADE THAT WE WILL ROLL OUT FOREVER? THAT'S THE TYPE OF STUFF THAT THE VARIANCES TO HELP US WITH AND I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUDGET IN THE MENSWEAR I THINK IN AND THE STAFF HERE ONE BUT GENERALLY A BUDGET AND ADAMANTLY RESET EVERYTHING AND WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING HERNANDEZ NUMBERS TO BE WHICH RAISES AUDIENCES FOR WHAT WE ARE SAYING THAT NOW HAVE AND/OR NEED COUNSEL ACTION OR APPROVAL TO BE ADDED INTO A BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT THOSE BE REPORTED MORE REGULARLY. I THINK WE CAN TACKLE BOTH OF THOSE THINGS YOU NEED AND NOT HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE PHYSICAL MORE THAN JUST THE
MIDYEAR BUDGET. >> HERE'S WHAT I'M TRY TO GET ACROSS.
WHEN WE HAVE THE BUDGET AND I SEE NOTHING IN A RACE THAT FLAG UP AND STUFF TELLS ME.
>> IT'S GOOD TO WORRY ABOUT IT. THAT'S AN EASY ONE.
BUT IF WE JUST WANTED YOU VARIANCES IN SOME OF THOSE 90,000 AND BECAUSE IT WASN'T BUDGETED IN THE CHARTER IS CLEAR. AGAIN WHEN I SEE A DEPARTMENT
WITH CEREMONY BUDGET PUT A BIG STAR NOT BECAUSE. >> IS SORRY THAT WE COULD'VE USED ON SIDEWALKS FOR LATER MOVE THE MONEY AROUND WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO BRING THE BUDGET WITHOUT SAYING LOOK WE OVERBUDGET IT BACK TO MOVE THIS MONEY AROUND. YOU DO IT. OVER INFLATING YOUR BUDGET FOR COST. PROVING BUDGETS BECAUSE PEOPLE EVEN APPEAR CLOSE.
WE HAVE TWO BASIC JOBS. WE MANAGE CENTER AND WE WATCH THE PERSON IN THE CITY.
IN THE EXPENSES AND WATCHING HOW THE MONEY IS COMING IN AND IF WE DON'T WANT THEM AND WHAT WE SHOULD DO MANY TIMES WE CONSIDER PICKING UP A CHICKEN DOES GO HOME.
I THINK THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT IF THE MONEY GAS PRICES DOUBLE THAT FINE BUT IF YOU PUT KNOWING YOU ONLY SPEND 60 INVENTED A LETTER FROM STAFF TAXPAYERS ARE NOT OKAY WITH THAT. IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS OF NOT KNOWING WHERE THE MONEY IS AT
[02:30:06]
THE. ANDERSON IS VARIANCES I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE CAN SPEND 50 GRAND DOING SOMETHING. THEY WOKE UP AND HAD THE MONEY. MAYBE THE PUBLIC WANTED TOSPEND IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. >> TO YOUR POINT MISTER MAYOR I THINK WHAT HAS LAID OUT WITH THE DETAILS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. THOSE DETAILS.
WE PASS THOSE BUDGET NUMBERS LAST YEAR. BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, THE PLACE GAVE COST 40 1K BUT THESE PROJECTS THEY GAVE THE COMMUNITY PARK AS IT WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL PRIOR. ARBOR DAY WAS BROUGHT BEFORE US AS WELL FOR APPROVAL. WHAT IS HERE IS A CIRCLE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
IT WAS NOT PROVIDED IN THE BUDGET. >> LAST FISCAL YEAR IT WAS INSPECTED IN THE NEW BUDGET WE DON'T REPROVE THAT. HE HAS APPROVED IT LAST YEAR BUT IT STOPS YOU HAVE TO BE AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MAKING THAT MONEY AND I'M ASSUMING IT HAS
TO COME BACK AND SAY. >> THIS ALSO IS $2.9 MILLION OF DEVELOPER DOLLARS THAT WERE GIVEN TO THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND. IT'S HARD EXAMPLE BECAUSE IT'S NOT TAXPAYER DOLLARS. THIS IS DEVELOPER DOLLARS IN THAT ACCOUNT.
THOSE PROJECTS WERE PUT TO WORDS IMPROVEMENT WITH THOSE PROJECTS.
IT'S A DIFFERENT EXAMPLE BECAUSE IT'S NOT TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
I THINK THAT JUST SHOWS YOU WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IN THE UPCOMING BUDGET CYCLE AND WE
NEED TO SEE THOSE DETAILS AND THEY WERE APPROPRIATED. >> COUNCILMEMBER JUST A QUICK QUESTION. FORGIVE ME IF I'M WRONG JUST ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION.
AS A PART OF THE BOND APPROVED IN 2019? >> IT WAS NOT.
>> IT'S LIKE A LU OF DOING THIS OVER HERE I'LL WRITE YOU ANOTHER ONE.
>> INSTEAD OF GIVING PARKLAND THE DEVELOPERS WILL PAY TO NOT GET PARKLAND SO THEY WILL PAY
PER HOUSEHOLD. >> AND FOR THE TREES THING THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY JUST CAME UP WITH. IT'S AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT BECAUSE OF THEIR ENTRIES THERE IT JUST DIED SO THEY PAID $65,000 SO THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH IMPERVIOUS COVER ON THEIR SITE SO WE CAN PLANT THE TREES SOMEWHERE ELSE. WHAT GOT UP WAS IT WASN'T BUDGETED OR APPROVED AHEAD OF TIME. THEY SPEND THE MONEY DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT MINUTE THAT'S WHERE GOD HUNG UP IN THE WEEDS. I WOULD ARGUE THE RIGHT THING WAS DONE NOT IN THE RIGHT ORDER BUT WE DID BUILD TREES TO REPLACE SOMEWHERE AUSTIN CITY WHERE THE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREES BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO MAINTAIN THE TREE CANOPY.
THE PROCESS WASN'T FOLLOWED DIRECTLY. THAT'S WHERE THE SPECIMEN THAT
CAME FROM. >> IT WAS A FINANCE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEY REACHED OUT AND SAID WHAT HE THINK AND IT'S NOT HIM BUT IT'S A GARDEN DUE TO NOT GET THE MEMO LATER.
ULTIMATELY EVERY DOLLAR A MONTH THROUGH THIS. >> EACH OF THE PROJECTS WERE
APPROVED. >> THEY WEREN'T APPROVED IN THE BUDGET THEY WERE APPROVED
PREVIOUSLY BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR FUND. >> DOES IT ROLLOVER?
>> IT WOULD ONLY ROLLOVER IF IT GETS REAPPROPRIATED IN THE NEXT BUDGET SO YOU WHAT IS
[02:35:06]
SHOWN SAY $65,000 EXPENDITURE AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN BUDGETED BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE STAFF CAN'T JUST GO INTO PROJECTS. I DO. THEY DON'T HAVE A BUDGET BACKING. ON THE BUDGET THE MONEY MAY BE A. THE REVENUE BABIES ARE PRESIDENTS OF THE SPENDING PORTION OF THE PROJECT WASN'T AUTHORIZED.
THE STAFF CAN'T JUST GO THE WAY YOU HANDLE WOULD'VE BEEN THE WAY THAT I HANDLED THE OTHER ONES. WE HAVE THE FUTURE THAT WE DIDN'T PLAN FOR OR THIS IN THE COUNCIL TO DIRECT THE BUDGET AMENDMENT. TO COVER THE MONEY FOR THE

EXPENSE ASK. IT'S THIS PARTICULAR SCENARIO ASKED IN THE FINANCE DIRECTOR AT THE TIME I WILL GET A BUDGET LIMIT. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.WE WERE VERY CLEAR THAT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WHENEVER WE FIGHT IT.

>> ON THIS HAVE WE BEEN SENT THE ECHO PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT? COUNSEL HAS NOT RECEIVED THAT.
IT'S SIMILAR TO THE TERMS. WE ASK THAT YOU CLOSE US UNTIL EXECUTIVE SESSION.
>> ANY OBJECTIONS? >> HEARING ON WHO AFFORDED CONSIDERATION IN 2023 ? 109 PROVIDE IS INTENDED TO APPLY FOR GRANT FUNDS IN THE BEER REVIEW OF RECLAMATION AND A LETTER OF INTENT TO APPLY FOR WATER THE STRUCTURE FINANCE AND INNOVATION ACT LOANS TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES FOR WASTEWATER CIP PROJECTS. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. FOR THE RECORD I MET RECTOR THE CITY ENGINEER.
HE SAW THE PRESENTATION EARLIER ABOUT THE EFFORTS THAT HAVE GONE ON IN THE SOUTH WAS WATER TREATMENT PLAN. PART OF THAT INDICATES THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A PRETTY
[02:40:06]
EXPENSIVE PROJECT AND SO STAFF HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO HELP FUND THAT PROJECT RATHER THAN JUST DOING BOND FUNDS. WE'VE COME UP WITH THESE TWO OPTIONS. THERE IS AN APPLICATION PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH.THEY'RE TRYING TO GIVE MONEY TO PEOPLE THROUGH THIS LOAN PROGRAM.
THE OTHER ONE IS THE FEAR OF RECOMMENDATIONS. IT'S A WATER REUSE BECAUSE WE'RE ADDING THAT FUTURE INTO THE PLANT THAT ALLOWS US TO APPLY THE BEER RECLAMATION UP TO $30 MILLION IN GRANT FUNDS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESOLUTION IS TO PHYSICALLY GIVE STAFF THE
SUPPORT. >> QUESTION I HAVE WAS ABOUT LOWER COSTS.URRENTLY WE ARE 5-POINT FOR THE APPLICATION BOND. I'M CURIOUS WHERE THEY OFFER
THAT AS I KNOW IT'S DIFFERENT. >> DO YOU REMEMBER THE NUMBERS?
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT RATHER THAN HAVING TO GO OUT AND ISSUED THE DEBT THE LOAN PROGRAM ALLOWS A LETTER OF CREDIT OR YOU CAN DO DRAWDOWNS PERIODICALLY AND DEFER PAYMENT UNTIL THE PROJECTS COMPLETION. ON THE WAY FEE MODERATE IS COMPARABLE TO WHAT WE WOULD GET ON BONES. WE JUST ISSUED BONDS AND RECEIVED 4.2 FOR INTEREST ON THE LOANS. SINCE THEN THE FED HAS RAISED INTEREST RATES AGAIN. WE MIGHT GET 4.5 OR 4.6 ON A BOND OFFERING.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NOTE AND THE EPA IS TO ISSUE 100 MILLION IN BONDS.
IT ACTS AS A DRAWN SEE ONLY PAY INTEREST ON WHAT YOU DRAW DOWN. YOU WILL PAY MUCH LOWER
INTEREST THAN YOU WOULD FOR ISSUING BONDS. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR
ACTION? >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE 4.2 IS
PRESENTED. >> I'M SORRY I HAVE A QUESTION.
>> A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK AND SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER COLE
ARE. YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. >> HAVE A QUESTION.
[14.3. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2023-119 to amend the Development Agreement between the City of Hutto and WMV North Hutto, LLC for the development of the Lidell-Walker Tracts (Ashley Bailey)]
THE LANGUAGE SAYS SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. WHAT IS THAT TRIGGER? IT IS THING THE DATE OF THE LOAN IS 35 YEARS FROM SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND PAYMENT CAN BE DEFERRED FIVE YEARS AFTER THE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE? AND WITH THAT WE HAVE A ROLL CALL.
ZERO. >> THAT BRINGS THE SIZE ITEM 14.3.
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RESOLUTION 2023 ? 119 TO AMEND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF HUTTO AND TO BE ON THE NORTH HUTTO LLC FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT
WALKER TRACKS. >> DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR.
THE TITLE OF THIS IS A DEMENTED AGREEMENT FOR THE WALKER TRACKS.
YOU MAY RECALL THAT THIS WAS APPROVED ORIGINALLY A FEW YEARS AGO.
IT WAS AMENDED AND RESTATED IN 2022. WHAT WE'RE ADDING TONIGHT IS
[02:45:08]
THE FUTURE OF THE POLICY WAS TO SERVE AS THE OPEN SPACE AND FUTURE WITH A POSSIBLE DEDICATION TO THE CITY. IT ALSO CLARIFIES THE LINE EXPECTED WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS ONE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS. WE HAVE THE LAYOUT HERE.THIS IS EAST OF THE CENTER ON THE NEW ROADWAY. THERE'S GOING TO BE A LARGE ROAD THAT COMES IN FROM 1660 NORTH COUNTY ROAD 133 WITH THE MENTION OF THE MATERIAL IN THE MASTER PLAN. YOU CAN SEE HERE WITH THE CAN BENEFIT SUNRISES IS IN YOUR PACKET. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW BENEFITS ALLOWED WITH THIS CONTEMPLATE THE PIT. I CAN GO THROUGH THOSE INDIVIDUALLY IF YOU LOOK LIKE.
THE MAIN ONE REALLY IS A 24 INCH LINE THAT WE GOT. NOT ONLY CAN YOU SEE SOMEONE FROM THE LAYOUT THERE THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL OPEN SPACE LOT IT'S MULTI-FACE WITH A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO OCCUR BUT THE BIGGEST IS GOING TO BE THE 24 INCH LINE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY ALLOW FOR THE LIFT STATION TO COME OFF LINE WHEN IT'S FULLY COMPLETED.
THERE ARE OTHER DEVELOPERS THAT WILL COME IN FOR THIS IS THE FIRST STAGE OF THE LARGER LINE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN. THERE'S ONE AMENDMENT OF YOUR OFFERING IN THE AGREEMENT TO SHOW THAT NATURAL GAS CAN BE EXTENDED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IS AVAILABLE IN THE VICINITY OF THEIR NO OFF-SITE COST DEVELOPERS.
THAT'S ONE THAT WE WANT TO ADD IN THERE. WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT. IF POSSIBLE I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT WE SET A PUBLIC
HEARING FOR JUNE 15. >> THE ONE ISSUE WHEN WE COMPLICATED THE PIP POLICY WAS THAT THE FIBER LINES WOULD BE THERE EVEN IF THEY ARE CAPPED BECAUSE EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE FIBER EXTENDED TO THAT AREA. THIS IS JUST SOUTH OF THE ?. WE HAVE OTHER PROJECTS WHERE THERE WILL BE A FIBER BUT IT MAY NOT BE THERE AT THE TIME THEY START SO I DON'T WANT TO GET AN AMENDMENT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO IT AND THEN WE COME BACK AND HAVE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE
REST OF HUTTO. >> WHAT WOULD YOU PREFER? >> WE DO HAVE THE LEGAL TEAM
HERE. >> THAT THEY NEED TO RUN THE FIBER LINES THROUGH THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND NATURAL GAS TEST LINES. >> YOU WANT THEM TO RUN
NATURAL GAS LINES? >> THE PIPE IS NOT THAT FAR OFF FOR WHOEVER'S GOING TO HAVE
TO FACILITY. >> YOUR WANTING THEM TO RUN FIBER THROUGH THE WHOLE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND NATURAL GAS TO HOLD IT? >> AND THAT IS HUNG UP ON THE NATURAL GAS FIBER YES QUICK SO FIBER LINES THROUGH THEIR RELIGIOUSLY TO GET IN AND PUT
IT IN. >> IF THEY BUILD INTERNAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT SPECIALLY GET THERE BUT YOU. MAYBE THE AND NOT CONNECTED BUT IT WILL BE FIBER READY THAT'S
[02:50:06]
THE POINT OF THE TOPOGRAPHY IF THEY WANT TO GO FOR IT TO HAVE IT AT THE UTILITY JUST LIKE YOUHAVE TO RUN: LINES AFTER ON A FIBER LINE. >> AND I TURN OUR GYM TRY TO
UNDERSTAND. >> YOU WANT FIBER RUN THROUGH THERE AND IF IT'S NOT AVAILABLE IN THE AREA DUE TO WHATEVER I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE NEAREST LINE IS YOU SOLD THE FIBER SO
THAT WHEN THE FIBER COMES. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF
IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN. >> WERE YOU SAYING THIS FOR BECAUSE THIS IS BY THE
MEGA-SITE? >> THIS IS ABOUT THE MICRO SITE DESPITE THE NORTH GRADE CENTER. NORTH OF 79TH WHICH WE ARTY HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH ANOTHER
COMPANY RUNNING AREA. >> YOU TALK ABOUT THESE AGREEMENTS MAY HAVE BEEN SO I DON'T KNOW. YOU GUYS HAVE SOLAR PANELS ON THE HOUSE ONE DAY EVERYONE'S
GONNA WANT FULLER SUCH AS GOING TO DO. >> BUT THEN THEY CAN DO THAT
AND I'LL BE IN A PID. >> THAT WASN'T PART OF THAT AGREEMENT.
>> YOU WHERE YOU VOTED FOR TO SHOW ME THE RECORD. >> WHILE YOU DID.
>> IN THE AMENDMENT REQUIRING THE NATURAL GAS ON THE FIBER THAT'S PERMISSIVE RIGHT
QUESTION. >> YOU REQUIRED. IF IS AVAILABLE AT THE FIBER IS
NOT NEXT-DOOR TO COST THAT WE DON'T WANT TO RUN IT. >> IT'S AS IF IT WASN'T IN THE
AREA. >> OFF-SITE COST BECAUSE AS A LATE COST.
THE YEARS AGO THIS IS AN ACT OF PRELIMINARY PLAT.. THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THAT BUT
THEY WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE SMOKE WOULD BRING THE LINE. >> THAT MEANS SOME FESTIVALS ARE COMING ARE THEY EXCITED THAT THE 1800 FOUR OR DO THEY PREFER THAT WE BUILD HOUSES AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE STUFF AND BECAUSE LETTERS FOR SOMEONE TO COME BY AND SAY THAT YOU DID IT WRONG MAYOR, MAYBE WE CAN CONDENSE AND GO TO THAT UTILITY AND YOU ASK THEM OR GIVE. THE ISSUE THAT'S GIVING CAUSES THAT THERE IS NO UNDERSTANDING OF EXACTLY HOW FAR THEY ARE WILLING TO DO THAT SINCE SO HIM TO RUN THE CONDUIT AND AVAILABLE TODAY FOR THE CONDUIT AND NOW IN THAT WAY WITH A FIBER COMPANY DOES COME THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THAT DEVELOPERS CAN SPEAK ABOUT THEMSELVES.
THAT'S THE WAY TO TACKLE THIS IN THE PAST WHENEVER THERE WAS A FIBER ANYWHERE NEAR.
THERE WAS A NATURAL GAS ANYWHERE NEAR TO IT AND THE LINES COULD BE PULLED.
THE CITY IS THE CAPABILITY TO RUN DARK LINES IF YOU REALLY WANT TO.
THERE'S A LOT OF EXPENSE IN PUTTING IN DARK FIBER TOO. IF THERE IS A NOT A FIBER COMPANY THAT WANTS TO FILL THAT WHILE THERE DO IT THE FIBER CAN BE PULLED THROUGH IN THE
FUTURE. >> THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO OF HER STATION ABOUT THE FINANCING COST. WHAT YOU THINK IT WILL COST WHENEVER PEAK SOME PEOPLE MAY
NOT WANT IT. I DON'T REALLY. >> THAT'S ONLY IF THERE IS ENOUGH INTEREST IN WILLING TO GO. FOLKS THAT ARE GOING THROUGH
[02:55:04]
AND RUNNING FIBER THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS RIGHT NOW ARE DOING IT AT THEIR COST.THEY ARE RUNNING AT THEIR COST BECAUSE THEY HAVE CUSTOMERS TO BE ABLE TO PROCURE SERVICES.
>> THAT'S WHY DON'T THINK THEY DO AHEAD OF TIME. ONE OF THE FIRST HOMES I BOUGHT WAS MORE AND THEM COMING OUT FOR CABLE. THE COMMITTEE TIMES CONSTRUCTION BREAKS A FIBER LINE TO CITY HALL. STUCK IT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVERY TIME SOMEONE FORCE THE FOUNDATION IT GOT MONEY AND BACKED UP TO BREAK IT.
THE DEVELOPERS ENGINEERS HERE AND I BELIEVE HE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ON THIS ONE.
>> COULD WE ARE REPRESENTING THE INVENTORS. .
AS AN EXAMPLE WE PUT THESE IN FOR DRY UTILITIES WHETHER IT'S CABLE, INTERNET OR POWER.
UTILITIES COME AND BRING THOSE SO WE CAN SIMPLY ADD ANOTHER CONDUIT TO BUT MOST LIKELY A SCENARIO OF COMPANIES IN THE EA FROM CENTRIC FIBER CURRENTLY. ONCE HOMEBUILDERS ARE

CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2023 ? ONE TO AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF HUTTO TEXAS AND 325 ALLIANCE LTD.
AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.
THIS IS A REVISED MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT YOU SOMEONE EARLIER WITH THE ANNEXATION IT'S VERY VERY SIMILAR. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE HERE IS ON THOSE ORIGINALLY ANNEXED LAST MER THE AGREEMENT SAID THAT THE CITY WOULD NOT BE PROVIDING ANY NEW SERVICES WHAT WE ARE DOING NOTICEABLY COMING BACK AND ASKING WHERE THIS MUNICIPAL SERVICE PLAN TO THEN TIE BACK TO THE UTILITY COMMITMENT LETTER THAT WAS NEEDED FOR LAST AUGUST.
WITH THAT WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT BECAUSE THE CHANGES WILL BE APPROVED PRIOR
TO BEING ABLE TO SERVE THE PROPER AREA. >> MY ONLY QUESTION IS CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE MAP THAT YOU HAD BECAUSE THAT WASN'T IN OUR PACKET AND I TALKED TO JAMES
ABOUT THIS. >> IS AN EXISTING DEVELOPMENT HERE IS A STORAGE AREA CC THE
STORAGE AND OTHER TYPES. >> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.
>> WENT TO THE POINT WHERE THE YMCAS? >> IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY
[03:00:06]
ASHLEY THEY WERE UNDER SOME TIME CONSTRAINTS SO WE WERE IN THE USSIAN CESS OF FIGURING OUT THAT WE OVERCOMMITTED OUT THE OVER UTILITIES WE WORK WITH THEM 10 XM INTO THE CITY[15.1. Consideration and possible action relating to the Emory Farms Archway project (Matt Rector)]
WITHOUT GUARANTEEING ANY SERVICES. THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT THEY COULD GET. THEY GOT THAT BUT THE PROBLEM IS ONE DOCUMENT SAYS NO UTILITIES ARE PROVIDED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS WE KIND OF DID IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEVELOPING AREA AND THEY CAN HAVE WHETHER IT WAS BUT THIS IS JUST MARRYING THOSE TWO TOGETHER WHERE WE DON'T HAVE A CONFLICT.>> CORRECT THIS IS DEFINITELY GIVING MORE PREDICTABILITY WITHIN THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO OUT AND SAY YES I HAVE THE SERVICE AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BASED
ON THAT AUGUST 2022 LETTER. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR ACTION? >> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE
14.4 AS PRESENTED. >> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND APPROVING 14.4 AS PRESENTED. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? HEARING ON PLEASE CALL THE BOAT.
70. >> NEXT WE LIKE AND 50.1 CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE ACTION
RELATING TO THE EMORY FARMS ARE TO PROJECT. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'M DIRECTORS AND CITY ENGINEER.
THIS ONE WAS PRESENTED IN A WORK SESSION IN APRIL. >> IF YOU REMEMBER THERE WERE FOUR ORIGINAL OPTIONS PRESENTED AT THE TIME. END IN AN INTO THE WEEDS ON THESE. THE FIRST WAS JUST THE FULL SPAN ARCH.
THE SECOND ONE WAS KIND OF SQUEEZING DOWN THE LIENS AND PUTTING UP A SMALL ARCH.
THE THIRD ONE WAS JUST DOING THE LANDSCAPE TO DETER TRUCKS FROM TURNING DOWN THE ROAD.
THE FOURTH ONE WHICH IS BASICALLY GOING IN AND ENLARGING THAT ROUNDABOUT THAT'S THEIR TO ACTUALLY FACILITATE THE TRUCKS MAKING A U-TURN TO GET OUT OF THERE.
BUT THE WORK SESSION COUNCIL DIRECTED THEM TO CONSIDER SOME OTHER ALTERNATIVES.
THEY HAVE DONE THAT. WE PRESENT THOSE ALTERNATIVES TO YOU TONIGHT WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AND THEN THE GOAL IS TO LEAVE HERE TONIGHT WITH COUNSEL'S RECOMMENDATION ON WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE THAT THE CONSULTANT HAS COME UP WITH SO THEY CAN MOVE ON INTO THE
FINAL DESIGN. >> THE FIRST CONCERT THAT THEY CAME UP WITH BASED ON COUNSEL FEEDBACK IS CONCEPT ONE A. BASICALLY YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS LANDSCAPED MEDIANS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ALLIANCE SO SUMMARIZE EMORY ISLAND AND SUMMER ON CENTER BOULEVARD.
WE STILL HAVE THOSE ON THE EAST SIDE IN THE EMORY FARMS LANDSCAPED AREA.
WE ARE RELOCATING THE HAVE BOUGHT OF THE ROUNDABOUT WHICH WOULD BE REMOVED.
>> IT WOULD BE REMOVED AND PLACED INTO THE LANDSCAPED AREA THAT'S ON THE EAST SIDE.
[03:05:06]
THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO THIS ONE IS IT'S NOT PHYSICALLY FORCE TRUCKS TO TURN RIGHT SO THEY COULD STILL THEORETICALLY MAKE THAT LEFT AND GO DOWN HENRY FARMS AVENUE.OPTION 1B. >> YOU HAVE THE STRIPING THEY'RE COMING OUT OF THAT SO
THEY CAN STILL DRIVE ACROSS AND COMPLETELY IGNORE. >> I WAS LOOKING AT THE NORTH
GOING SOUTH. >> OPTION 1B IS VERY SIMILAR TO ONE AND THE DIFFERENCES THEY ARE ADDING IN THAT DECELERATION TURN LANE SO YOU BASICALLY HAVE WHEN YOU'RE WESTBOUND ON EMORY FARMS YOU HAVE TWO TURN LANES A LEFT TURN AND A RIGHT TURN LANE AND WHEN YOU ARE EASTBOUND ON SOME OF THE SAME THING. EVERYTHING ELSE IS BASICALLY THE SAME.
AGAIN JUST BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS PUTTING STRIPING THEY'RE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY TO PHYSICALLY FORCE TRUCKS TO TURN RIGHT ONTO SNYDER.
THE PRICE TAG ON THIS ONE IS CLOSE TO ONE A. OPTION TWO. IT WAS A LANDSCAPED AREA AND YOU CAN SEE IT IS NUMBER ONE. IT'S LIKE A RAISED TRAFFIC DIVERTER PUT INTO THE DRIVEWAY TO FORCE THOSE TRUCKS TO TURN RIGHT. EVERYTHING ELSE IS BASICALLY SAYING YOU HAVE LANDSCAPE MEETINGS ON EVERY FINE. IT'S A RELOCATED HIP ON SNYDER WITH THE COLUMN ON THE EMORY FARMS. PRICE TAG ON THIS ONE IS $314,000. FINALLY OPTION B IS VERY SIMILAR.
IT STILL FORCES TRUCKS TO GO WEST ON SNYDER RATHER THAN BE ABLE TO ALLOW THEM TO TURN EAST ON EMORY FARMS. IT STILL MEANS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING INTO THE DRIVEWAY SO THERE IS A CONCERN THAT WE WILL GET COMPLAINTS FROM THEM.
JUST AROUND $305,000 IS THE ESTIMATE. THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE COME UP WITH. THIS LAST ONE IS THE STAFF RECOMMENDED OPTION TO MOVE
FORWARD. >> I THOUGHT WHEN WE DISCUSSED THE OPEN MEETING BACK IN APRIL THAT WE LIKED THE HIPPO MORE ON THE EMORY FARMS SIDE. I LIKE HAVING THE HIPPO WORDS
PLACED IN THIS PICTURE. >> WE AGREE THAT THIS IS THE BEST JOB FROM THE BARNES
COINSURANCE. >> IS THAT IT WAS THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT THAT HAD TRUCKS GOING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SO THE DEVELOPMENT WITH DRIVEWAYS TO THE WEST OF HERE
ARE STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHOOT STRAIGHT THROUGH. >> ABOUT THE ISSUE IS TRUCKS COMING IN AND GOING THROUGH EMORY FARMS. TO GO THROUGH AND TAKE A RIGHT AND FOLLOW THE RED DEFINED SCOPE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN AND I FEEL LIKE NONE OF THESE ADDRESS UNLESS THAT ARCHWAY IS LOW-PROFILE ENOUGH. THEY CAN EITHER GO STRAIGHT OR COME UP AND NAVIGATE AROUND.
I'M NOT REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THEM BECAUSE A LOT OF THIS IS THEM AND THE PEOPLE IN THAT
[03:10:04]
DEVELOPMENT. THEY'RE THE ONES CAUSING ISSUE NEIGHBORHOOD.IF THE STAFF THOSE AREAS WOULD HAVE LESS COMPLAINTS WHERE WE SPENT $300,000.
I LIKE TO HAVE THEM PAY $300,000 BUT THAT'S NOT AS EASY.
>> MATHER CONCERNED IS HOW MANY REGULAR CARS ARE TURNING RIGHT FROM REFORMS INTO BARN SCOPE BECAUSE THERE'S NOT THAT MANY. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE GIVE MORE SPACE COMING FROM HENRY FARMS TO ALLOW A BIG TRUCK TO THINK THEY CAN MAKE THAT BECAUSE THEY SEE ITS WAITER THERE. IF YOU WENT BACK TO SOME OF THE EARLIER ONES WERE WE HAD A WIDER MEDIAN YES, THAT BUT STILL HAVE THE HIPPO THERE ON THAT SIDE.
>> THE TRUCK IS JUST GOING TO SWING INTO THAT LEFT TURN LANE TO MAKE A WHITE TURN TO SWING
RIGHT. >> IF YOU HAVE IT LIKE THIS WITH THE HAVE ON THAT SIDE THEN QUICKLY THE PICTURE HAS WHERE THAT IS JUST MOVE IT SO THAT IT'S FACING IT.
>> THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY CHANGE. >> I BELIEVE THAT ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY ADDED THAT IN YOU CAN SEE THE LEFT TURN IS ALSO THE THROUGH LANE.
IT'S BECAUSE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE LIVE OAK IS GOING TO CONNECT TO EMORY FARMS WHICH THEN CONNECTS BACK TO LIVE OAK OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT CONNECTS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY. BECAUSE THE THROUGH LANE FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO GO THROUGH.
>> I BELIEVE TWO PEOPLE AT EACH OTHER. >> IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD WORK. IT'S A VISUAL OF THE ROUNDABOUT WITH THOSE TWO CARS COLLIDING
TO EACH OTHER SO WE MAKE IT ONE LANE. >> WERE DEMOING THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE IS A PART OF THIS TEXT LOOKS LIKE A TRADITIONAL INTERSECTION BUT IT'S WEIRD GEOMETRY BECAUSE YOU BASICALLY HAVE THE ALLIANCE BOULEVARD FROM THE SOUTH COMING IN ON THE FAR RIGHT LIKE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE DRIVEWAY DOESN'T ALIGN WITH THAT'S NORMALLY WHAT'S KIND OF LIKE LIVE OAK IN FRONT OF CITY HALL TO ACROSS.
IN SOME WAY WHEN I LOOK AT THIS WHAT I SEE IN MY MIND IS THAT STRAIGHT/LEFT IN THE FUTURE TO BE A LEFT HAND TURN LANE. THE RETURN WILL BE THE STREET AND MAKE A RIGHT-HAND TURN WHENEVER YOU GO THROUGH THERE. THERE WILL PROBABLY BE THREE-WAY SIGNALS THERE.
>> YOU HAVE IMPATIENT PEOPLE THAT LIVE UP TO THAT RIGHT TURN ONLY AND TRY TO GO STRAIGHT OR MAKE A TURN TO CUT AND WITH THE TRAFFIC. YOU JUST HAVE ONE LANE AND YOU
AVOID THAT. >> I WOULD CUT OUT EASTBOUND SNYDER INTO BARN SCOPE.
I'D CUT OUT WEST EMORY FARMS RIGHT INTO FINES: MAKING A RIGHT NOW.
>> A TOPIC WE SHOULD DO THAT BECAUSE AS IN THE ACADEMY GOING TO BE THERE? YOU CAN EGRESS IS THERE BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE WEST AND I CAN'T REMEMBER IF THAT'S
TECHNOLOGY BOULEVARD ON THE. >> I THINK THAT THE LEFT LANES NEED TO BE TAKEN OUT NOW.
SORRY YOU DON'T DO A STRAIGHT LEFT BECAUSE OF WHAT COUNCILMEMBER CLARK IS TALKING ABOUT. BY DOING THAT YOU ARE ALREADY IN IS A DEDICATED RIGHT-HAND
[03:15:02]
TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT JOGGING OVER TO CHECK BACK OVER AGAIN. I WOULD SUGGEST WHAT COUNSEL LOOKS AT DOING IS EITHER ELIMINATING THE LEFT-HAND TURN MOVEMENT TODAY ENTIRELY AND HAVING STRAIGHT THROUGH TRAFFIC AND UNDERSTANDING THAT'S WHAT WE TRIED TO SET OUT TO DO FOR EMORY FARMS WE CANNOT ACCOMPLISH BECAUSE WE CANNOT BUILD A CANDLE FOR TRUCKS AS MUCH AS WE MIGHT LIKE TO BECAUSE THE LEADER TRUCKS AND FIRETRUCKS HAVE TO GET UNDERNEATH.THOSE ARE STANDARD HEIGHTS BY FEDERAL TRAFFIC LAW. THE BEST WE CAN DO IS MAKE IT TO WHERE IF THE TRUCKS ARE COMING OUT OF THAT DRIVEWAY HAVE TO GO RIGHT FOR THE MOST PART THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE TRUCKS TO MAKE THE TERMS OF.
>> THAT ONE IS NO LEFT-HAND TURN LANE OR THE NEXT ONE. IT JUST SWITCHES TO THE LEFT
TURN LANES ARE ON THE LEFT TURN LANES. >> AND YOU BACK TO THE PREVIOUS ONE AND MAKE A STRAIGHT LEFT JUST LIKE THAT AND AT SOME POINT IF THE
TRAFFIC IS SO CONGESTED YOU CAN GO BACK AND REBUILD. >> OF COURSEIF THESE NUMBERS
ARE RIGHT THAT'S MORE EXPENSIVE. >> IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE LANDSCAPING AT THE LIE. CLICK TO THE NEXT SLIDE THERE'S LESS LANDSCAPING OF THE ONLY
DIFFERENCE. >> IS ANY OF YOUR RENDERINGS GUEST ANY CREDENCE THE BIKE LANE SINCE THERE'S GOING TO BE ACADEMY, YMCA AND ANOTHER EXERCISE PLACE.
>> GENERALLY SPEAKING BECAUSE OF THE INDUSTRIAL TYPE OF TRAFFIC TODAY THE SIDEWALKS THAT ARE THERE ARE WIDER SO YOU WOULD GENERALLY BE MOVING THE BICYCLES OFF THE ROADWAY'S ON THE JOINT USE PATHS ANYWAY THAT WE CAN.T'S EFFECTIVELY A WATER SIDEWALK THAT CAN HANDLE
BICYCLIST AND PEDESTRIANS AT THE SAME TIME. >> IS AT SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN
LIKE THAT FOR ALLIANCE? AS A PART OF THIS PROJECT? >> IS A PART OF THIS PROJECT IS NO RECOLLECTION. IT'S REALLY ONLY THE ACTUAL INTERSECTION ITSELF.
>> SO WE'RE NOT REBUILDING THE ROAD HEADING TO THE SOUTH? >> THERE WAS ONE OPTION TO KEEP IT AND MAKE IT WIDER. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DELETING IT. >> I THINK THE POINT ABOUT SIDEWALKS WE GOT IT ON THE NORTH SIDE AND ON THE EASTERN PART OF THE SELF WITH FUTURE PLANNING. I'M GUESSING IF IT'S ON A RIDE THEIR BIKES TO ANY OF THE
AMENITIES THEY WILL BE OVER ON THE ALLIANCE. >> I DON'T DISAGREE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING BUILT ALONG THE LINE SO WE MIGHT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY.
>> IS THAT SOMETHING YOU GUYS CAN WORK ON? WE PUT THE HIPPO ON THE OTHER
[03:20:02]
SIDE. >> RETAKE OPTION 18. >> ACTUALLY LIKE WHAT YOU WANTED. NOT THAT YOU LIKE THE SOMETHING THAT YOU PROPOSE WHICH IS
SWITCHING. >> SWITCHING THE LEFT-HAND TURN LANES TO JUST BE STRAIGHT.
>> A WESTBOUND ON EMORY FARMS YOU HAVE A LEFT HAND TURN LANE THAT IS ALSO A STRAIGHT MOVEMENT. HE THEN YOU HAVE A RIGHT-HAND TURN ONLY LANE.
WHAT YOU COULD POTENTIALLY DO IF YOU GO THIS ROUTE IS RESTRICTED THAT TO HAVE A RIGHT-HAND ONLY LANE INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHERE IT STRAIGHT AND RIGHT AND THEN THE LEFT WOULD BE LEFT ONLY SO YOU'RE NOT DOING A WEIRD JOG INTO THAT OTHER LIEN AND THEN SLIDING BACK OVER TO GET INTO THE STRAIGHT LANE AGAIN THAT'S ONLY IF YOU WANT TO HAVE TO TURN
LANES TODAY. >> I SAY WE PUT IT IN AND CALL IT A DAY.
AS LONG AS IT'S FIRM FOR SIGNAL IS ASIAN. TEXT COUNCILMEMBER CLARK GETS
THE HIPPO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> DULY NOTED. >> THAT'S THE ONE YOU WANTED.
[15.2. Consideration and possible action regarding the recent public input for the CR 137 project (Matt Rector)]
>> IS THIS LISTED FOR ANY ACTION? >> THIS IS LISTED AS OTHER
BUSINESS AND WE ARE SEEKING DIRECTION. >> YOU CAN GIVE DIRECTION NOT TO PURSUE THAT AND COME BACK WITH A STRAIGHT AND LEFT TURN ONLY.
>> WE WILL NEED TO GO GET AN ENGINEERING COMPANY TO ACTUALLY DESIGN THE SINGLE CONSTRUCTION
DOCS. >> I LIKE THIS ONE BUT THE ONLY DIFFERENCES I WANTED IT
RATE STREAK AND LEFT ONLY. >> YOU JUST NEED DIRECTION TO DO THIS AND BRING BACK AN
ENGINEERING AGREEMENT TO HAVE DESIGN. >> ESL.
>> AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE 15.1 OPTION TO BE WITH THE AMENDMENT.
IS IT AMENDMENT PART IS THAT WITH THE DIRECTION TO COME BACK WITH THE PROPOSED RENDERINGS
THAT WERE SUGGESTED. >> SECOND ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION?
>> HEARING ON PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.
>> THE MOTION PASSES SEVEN AND ZERO. >> NEXT WE ABIDE IN 15.2.
CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE RECENT PUBLIC INPUT FOR THE CR 137
PROJECT. >> AS INDICATED THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO THE OPEN HOUSE AND PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD THAT WE HAD ON CR 137. AS YOU ARE AWARE WE ARE LOOKING AT DESIGN ITEMS TO DO WITH THE TRAFFIC ISSUES AND OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE HAPPENING ALONG THAT STRETCH OF ROAD. AND SO WHAT WE DID IS IN APRIL, APRIL 13 TO BE EXACTLY TO THE PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE. BEFORE WE DID IT WE PUT OUT THIS FLYER AND POSTED IT ON FACEBOOK AND ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. WE PUT IT IN HIGH-DOSE COMMUNITY IMPACT. WE DID THIS COMMUNITY OUTREACH TRYING TO GET PEOPLE IN AND
[03:25:07]
ONCE THEY CAME IN TO THE OPEN HOUSE THERE WAS A REOCCURRING SLIDESHOW THAT HAD A VOICEOVER PLAYING ON A LOOP. THIS PROPER DRAINAGE ON EACH SIDE AND WAITING WIDENING OF FL 16. WE DID PROVIDE TWO ALTERNATIVES TO THE PUBLIC.ONE OF THEM IS TO PUT A TRUE ROUNDABOUT AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE HISTORY WOULD INDICATE THAT WE OFTEN CONFUSE TRAFFIC CIRCLES WITH ROUNDABOUTS. TO PUT A TRUE ROUNDABOUT AT THE INTERSECTION OF COUNTY ROAD 137 AND FM 1660 THE OTHER OPTION IS TO DO A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
>> ROUNDABOUT DOES IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW MORE THAN THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL WOULD.
I WILL NOTE THAT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS ALTERNATIVE AND IT DOES IMPROVE THE SITUATION EXISTING FROM TODAY. IN ADDITION TO HAVING A PUBLIC MEETING WE HAD PEOPLE THAT PROVIDE COMMENTS THERE AND WE ALSO HAD A PERIOD AFTER THE PUBLIC MEETING WHERE THEY PROVIDE EMAILS FOR AN ONLINE SURVEY.
TOTAL WE GOT 40 RESPONSES FROM THE PUBLIC. SOME OF THOSE RESPONSES WERE NOT ABOUT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. THEY DIDN'T REALLY GET INTO ROUNDABOUT OR SIGNAL. ONLY 24 OF THOSE 48 RESPONSES THAT WE WERE ROUNDABOUT.
THE OTHER 24 TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE CONNECTIVITY TO THE PARK. THEY WANTED TO KNOW HOW WE WERE DOING WITH DRAINAGE IN THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHY WE'RE LETTING THE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
HOW WE WERE GOING TO DO WITH THE BROOKLYN CONNECTION TO THE COUNTY ROAD 137.
THERE ARE A LOT OF ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP AND I BELIEVE THOSE COMMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET. AS FAR AS THIS WHICH IS A ROUNDABOUT BIRCHES SIGNAL YOU CAN SEE OF THOSE 2415 OF THEM SAY THEY PREFER THE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION AND NONE OF THEM SAID THEY LIKE THE ROUNDABOUT IDEA. THE OVERALL THEME WAS EVERYBODY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE KIDS CROSSING 6060 OR 137 TO GET TO AND FROM THE SCHOOLS. THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT GROWTH AND ABOUT PEOPLE NOT KNOWING HOW TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUT. AND SO WITHOUT THE PURPOSE OF THIS ITEM IS AGAIN TO TRY TO KEEP SEEK COUNSEL DIRECTION SO I CAN GIVE THE DESIGN TEAM THE PATH FORWARD WHERE WE APPROACH 60% DESIGN. RIGHT NOW I HAVE THEM WAITING FOR THE DIRECTION ON A SIGNAL OR WITH THE ROUNDABOUT. THERE WAS A PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT CONCERNS OVER TRAFFIC SIGNAL. WITH THAT I WILL OPEN IT UP TO
COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND HOPEFULLY GET SOME DIRECTION. >> I THOUGHT YOU DID A HELL OF A JOB AS FAR AS MAKING SURE THE PUBLIC TO. I WAS THERE AND I APPRECIATED THE CITIZENS THAT CAME OUT AND OFFERED UP OPINION. I THOUGHT YOUR VIDEO IS GREAT
[03:30:03]
AND I THOUGHT THE PRESENTATION WAS GREAT. I THOUGHT THE FOLKS FROM TEXT.OR CARPER WERE GREAT. PERSONALLY FOR ME WHENEVER I LOOKED AT IT I WAS MORE IN FAVOR OF THE ROUNDABOUT. I'VE LIVED IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CITIES THAT HAVE HAD A ROUNDABOUT AND I THINK IT'S EASIER TO NAVIGATE. FROM LOOKING AT THE RESPONSES THAT WERE GIVEN AN UNDERSTANDING CI HESITATION FOR ME I'M JUST NOT SURE THAT WE HAVE THE CAPABILITIES OF ADDRESSING SOMEONE'S CONCERN OF A, I MAY NOT ADDRESS ROUNDABOUT ROUNDABOUT BUT OTHER FOLKS DON'T WHEN I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT TO EDUCATE FOLKS ON. MAYBE HAVING EDUCATION BEFORE PUTTING SOMETHING IN AND LOOKING AT THE RESPONSES I FEEL LIKE THE CITIZENS HAVE SPOKEN AND THEY WANT TO SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION AGAIN I MAY NOT AGREE WITH THAT BUT THAT'S KIND
OF WHERE I LAND ON IT. >> DO WE KNOW IF THOSE COMMENTS ARE FOR OR AGAINST?
PURCHASES FOR OREGON 31% AND I PREFER THE ROUND. >> PERSONALLY FOR THE ROUNDABOUT I'VE LIVED AND IS ANSWERING. BEAUTY OF THIS TRAFFIC TODAY INTO THE FORESEEABLE LONG-TERM IS GOING TO THE EAST AND SOUTH ON NORTH AND WEST THAT'S WHAT I THINK MAKES A ROUNDABOUT SUCCESSFUL. I SAY YOU'RE CRAZY WHEN HE THE STAFF. BECAUSE THAT'S A FOUR-WAY VERY CONGESTED AREA BUT BEING THAT YOU REALLY TRY TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE EAST BOUND TO THE SCHOOL AND GET THEM OUT TO IF YOU HAVE A SIGNAL OF. TO ME IT'S THE BEST IN PEOPLE'S HESITATION BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE GETS PUT IN. I CAN SEE THE ISSUES THERE SO PROBABLY A LACK OF EXECUTION AND OTHER THINGS. THIS HERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF AN END SURE THING.
I'M SURE TEXTILE IS WEIGHING IN ON THIS BECAUSE WE MESS WITH THAT ROAD.
>> WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH TEXTILE AND TOLD HIM THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT THE ROUNDABOUT AND THE SIGNAL. THEY HAVE HAD SOME TURNOVER AS WELL SO WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE I ONLY HAD LET THE ENGINEER KNOW BECAUSE HE LEFT TEXTILE IS ANOTHER ENGINEER THERE AND WE LET THEM KNOW GIVE TO SHOW THAT WE'VE ARTIE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS. THEY ANALYZE THE RESULTS AND FURTHER THE CONVERSATION.
ONE THING THAT I DID FAIL TO MENTION CONCERN BECAUSE THIS IS A QUESTION THAT ASHLEY ASKED ME WAS HOW DO YOU PROTECT KIDS AND THE PURPOSE OF THE ROUNDABOUT AND POTENTIAL CONFLICT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DIRECTED DISTANCE. WE ACTUALLY PUSHED IT FOR AND
TO ADD AN EXTRA FACTOR OF SAFETY WE INCLUDED. >> HELLO LAURA FREE LOW THE PROJECT MANAGER OVER AT CARVER. WITH THE PROJECT AND EITHER SECOND BUT WE WOULD BE FOR NORTH MIDDLE SCHOOL. WITH THE ROUNDABOUT WITH THE POST HOC SIGNALS SO THEY CAN ALSO BECAUSE PEDESTRIAN HIGH BREAD BEGINS. YOU GO UP AND PUSH A BUTTON AND
[03:35:07]
THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL FLASHING. WITH THE SCHOOLS THERE WOULD BE CROSSING GUARDS IN EITHER SCENARIO BUT THAT PRICE OTHER FACTORS SAFETY IS HERE AS WELL AS NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE ONE MOVEMENT BUT THE PEDESTRIAN IS LOOKING FOR BUT YOU ALSO HAVE THAT RAPID FLASHING AGAIN.>> THIS WHOLE MOVEMENT NOTION AND WHAT THEY TRY TO SAY CAN GO BACK TO THE MAPS THAT SHOW THE BIG INTERSECTION IS THE DIRECTION CAUSE THE CROSSWALK. YOU HAVE CARS THAT ARE COME ACROSS WORK. CARSICK AND RETURNING RIGHT INTO THE CROSSWALK ARE COMING INTO THE CROSSWALK. NOW YOU'RE ONLY CROSSING ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC OR ONE DIRECTION AT A TIME THERE'S ONLY ONE DIRECTION OF POTENTIAL CONFLICT AND THEN YOU GET TO THE MIDDLE OF RACE PROTECTED MEDIAN CALL THE PEDESTRIAN BREAK.
THEY ARE THEN PUT ACROSS THE OTHER DIRECTION TRAFFIC WHICH IS ONLY ABLE TO COME FROM ONE WAY. THE RIGHT-HAND TURN MOVEMENTS ARE HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLES ARE JUST GOING STRAIGHT. THEY DON'T HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF TURNING INTO THE CHILD.
NOW IT'S JUST AROUND THE ONE MOVEMENT BECAUSE IT'S ONE DIRECTION THAT YOU ARE CROSSING
OF POTENTIAL CARS INTERSECTING WITH THE CROSSWALK AT A TIME. >> THAT WAS PROBABLY MY BIGGEST CONCERN BECAUSE AND WHETHER THEY NEED TO BE CROSSING GUARDS THERE.
>> IS AN AREA THAT GOES ON AND YOU JUST CROSS THAT WAY. THERE'S ONLY ONE SIDEWALK.
IF WE CAN KEEP THAT OBVIOUS EXPANDING SIDEWALKS ON THE OTHER SIDE IT WOULD BE GREAT.
THEY KINDA KEEP THAT PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC TO ONE SIDE AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
>> MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT I'M NOT QUITE SURE THAT THIS SPACE IN THAT ANNOYING VISIONING IS OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE NEGATIVE FEELINGS FIXED CIRCLE IN OLD TOWN.
I ENVISION THE ROUNDABOUT BEING AS BIG AS THIS DAIS AND OBVIOUSLY TAKING IT AROUND.
. THERE ARE ISSUES THAT ARE PRESENT IN WE DESIGN WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND LAY IT DOWN OVER THE ACTUAL EXISTING INTERSECTION.
YOU CAN SEE THE FOOTPRINT OF WHAT IT TAKES AND IT INCLUDES THE DRAINAGE AND THE SIDEWALKS.
>> IT CREATES THE SLOWING DOWN. PUT ON YOUR HAVING TO YIELD AND CRUISE AROUND BUT YOU'RE STILL FLOWING. THAT'S THE POINT OF THE ROUNDABOUT. I WANTED TO BE BIG ENOUGH. I DON'T WANT SMALL.
I DON'T KNOW A PEACE MOLECULE TIME ONCE. >> THE APRON IS MEANT FOR THE LONGER VEHICLES TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE OVER IN ORDER TO CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE. THE LONG TRUCK TRAILERS JUST DRIVE OVER AND WRITE IT OUT.
THE MODERN ROUNDABOUTS HAVE AN APRON. >> IT'S LIKE 2 FEET.
[03:40:07]
>> JUST FOR THE RECORD WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. >> ACTUALLY HAVE THE PLANS IN
THE BACK. THE RADIUS IS 40 FEET. >> IT'S THE CENTER OF THE CIRCLE TO THE EDGE. THIS DOES HAVE A DESIGN FOR HIGHER SPEEDS BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF FLAIR OUT TO HELP SLOW DOWN BUT ALSO THE ACTUAL VEHICLES THAT GO THROUGH ARE WHAT WE CALL A WB 67. SO THE 67 IS THAT LINK IF THAT
GIVES YOU AN IDEA ON HOW BIG THEY CAN MOVE THROUGH. >> TO GO EAST OR WEST ON BOTH
LANES COULD GO THROUGH THEIR. >> ARE BIG THING IS FIXING TRAFFIC IN THE SCHOOL.
DEFINITELY DO THAT. >> TOOLING OF THE ROUNDABOUT? >> JUST ABOUT ENDING THE
TRANSITION. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. AT THIS HIGHER COST.
WE HAVE AN ESTIMATION BETWEEN THE TWO OPTIONS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE GRAND IDEAS OF WHAT WE CAN DO WITH FEDERAL AND A LOT OF TRAFFIC IN THE INTERSECTION BUT JUST WONDERING
IS THE COST DIFFERENCE? >> IT'S ABOUT A 10 TO 15% DECREASE.
>> IS ON THE FLIGHT HERE.> IT MAY BE TOO SMALL TO SEE. >> I APOLOGIZE.
IT LOOKED A LOT BIGGER ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR THE ROUNDABOUT IS 14.2 JUST UNDER 40.3 MILLION. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR THE
SIGNAL THIS DECEMBER 4 $.9 MILLION. >> IS MAINTENANCE OVERTIME
WHICH IS LESS. >> IN THE ROUNDABOUT YOU DON'T HAVE ELECTRONICS.
>> CAN WE MOVE IT TO SLIGHTLY SOUTH 137? >> IF WE OWNED IT IN 1660 IS
HERE IN THE SYSTEM TO ENSURE WE CAN DEPLOY THEM. >> WERE GETTING READY TO DROP 14 MILLION AT THAT INTERSECTION. DO YOU JUST LET US HAVE THE LEFTOVERS? LOOK THE OTHER WAY AND COME BY WITH THE TRUCK.
>> TO SOMEONE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THIS? >> IS THAT 14 MILLION INCLUDE
THE RIGHT-OF-WAY POSITION? >> YES. >> I BELIEVE IT DOES.
>> @INCLUDEDIN THIS PROJECT. >> JUST TO MAKE SURE WE DID INCLUDE A 20% CONTINGENCY.
WE DID NOT ASSUME AN EXACT DOLLAR AMOUNT. IT'S EVERYTHING THAT SUBMITTED AS OF NOW. DICKINSON AND ITEMS BUT IT'S FAIRLY MINIMAL IMPACTS OVERALL
[03:45:08]
ERALL BUT THEY WOULD BE THREE SEPARATE CORNERS WHICH WOULD HAVE THE CLIP.[15.3. Consideration and possible action of City of Hutto Library Sign (Rick Coronado)]
>> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ROUNDABOUT INTERSECTION
ALTERNATIVE. >> A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK.
>> I WILL SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? HEARING THEN PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.
ONE. NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 15. CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE
ACTION OF CITY OF HUTTO LIBRARY. >> GOOD EVENING I'M RECORD THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. TODAY WE E HAVE ITEM IN FRONT OF YOU FOR CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION OF INSTALLING A SIGN FOR LIBRARY SERVICES ON THE CITY OF SANTOS HALL.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS. >> THIS SHOULD GET ME THE RENDERING.
>> TO HAVE VISIBILITY NOT ONLY FOR THE DAY BUT ALSO NIGHT BUT FOR LIBRARY SERVICES WE HAVE AN OPTION IN FRONT OF YOU TO PLACE A FINISH ON THE SIGNAGE THAT WOULD ALSO BE LIT AT NIGHT SO IT WOULD ALSO HAVE TO INCLUDE AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TO BE INSTALLED.
. PART OF THE RENDERING HAS THE OPTION OF HAVING TO LIBRARY SIGNAGE AS AN TION BUT ALSO JUST HAVING THE LIBRARY AS THE WORDING AS WELL.
>> THE ONLY THING I WISH IS THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE RENDERING OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK
LIKE. >> I'M NOT SURE IT'S IN THE POWERPOINT.
IT WAS IN THE BACK OF MATERIAL. >> IF YOU COULD FILL UP THE AGENDA PACKET MAYBE YOU CAN
BROADCAST THAT. >> THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO OPTIONS IS THAT IT'S ABOUT THE ESTIMATES OF 15,002 INSTALLED. IF THE OPTION YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE. IT'S ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU HAVE AS WELL WHICH COULD ALSO BE
APPLIED. >> THE ONE QUESTION I HAD WAS ULTIMATELY WE MAY CHOOSE TO HEAR BUILD A SEPARATE LIBRARY AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. IF WE TAKE THE LETTERING OFF IS IT OBVIOUS THAT IT'S REPAIRABLE TO WHERE THE BUILDING WOULD LOOK OKAY? I JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT A SIGN OUT THERE TO BUILD A SEPARATE ITEM.
>> THROUGH THE TEAM MEETINGS UP. I'M SORRY DIDN'T MEAN TO OVER
TALK YOU. >> WE WOULD PROVIDE THE LEAST INTRUSIVE PENETRATION ON THAT BUILDING AND COULD REMOVE THE BOX. ESSENTIALLY YOU WILL HAVE AN
[03:50:01]
OUTLET BOX OR CIRCUIT BOX THAT PENETRATES THROUGH THE WALL AND THEN CONNECTS TO THE SIGNAGE.IF YOU REMOVE THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY MASK THAT AT A LATER TIME.
>> RICK WILLIS, IN THE PICTURE IT LOOKS HIDDEN. WILL THIS BE SOMETHING THAT THEY WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE ON THE ROADS TO DIRECT FOLKS BUT THAT'S THE LIBRARY AND ONCE THEY DRIVE THEY CAN SEE THE BIG SIGN? THERE'S A LIBRARY BUT AGAIN
IT'S KIND OF HIDDEN SO WILL THERE BE ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE? >> THIS CONSIDERATION IS JUST
FOR SIGNAGE ON THE BUILDING ITSELF. >> HE COULD SEE IT AS A RENDERING AND MAY NOT LOOK JUST LIKE THIS THAT THERE MAY BE PLACEMENTS.
WHEN YOU SAY HIDDEN CC THAT THE LETTERING IS NOT VISIBLE ENOUGH.
>> YOU CAN SEE FROM THE TOP IT'S DARKER. IF WE WERE TO MOVE IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE WINDOWS MAYBE IT COULD BE A LITTLE BIT WELL SEEN.
YOU PUT A LIBRARY ON A BUILDING AND IT'S NOT A VISIBLE. IN MY OPINION IT'S DIFFICULT TO
SEE. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT PROBLEM WE ARE SOLVING BECAUSE LAST TIME WE HEARD FROM THEM EVERYTHING WAS UP YEAR AFTER YEAR.
TO ME IT'S A WAY TO COMMUNICATE THINGS AND HAVE ACTIVITIES. ONCE YOU'VE MADE IT TO THIS BUILDING IF YOU'RE GOING TO THE LIBRARY YOU FOUND IT. IT WILL SAY HIGH-DOSE CITY HALL AND IT'S NOT THE SECOND FLOOR IT'S REALLY ON THE BOTTOM. PART OF ME IS WHERE WE TRY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOWS A BETTER WAY OF DOING IT. I JUST LOOKS WEIRD TO HAVE HAD
A LIBRARY ON HUNDRED FEET OVER IN CITY HALL. >> I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR ON THAT. IT BEING ON THE SECOND FLOOR IT ALLUDES TO THE FACT THAT IT MAY BE A TWO-STORY OR FIVE-STORY JUST VISUALLY. TO COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON POINTS OVERHANG OF THE ROOF DARKENING IT FORESHADOWS BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE ON.
THAT KIND OF BEING AN ISSUE AND ALSO MAINTENANCE OF WHEN WE GOING TO DO A SAVINGS TIMES ARE WHEN IT'S DARKER AT 5:00. OF COURSE IT WILL BE LIT UP. WHAT IS THE MAINTENANCE OF THAT? IS IT CAN BE ONE OF THE SIGNS THAT A FOLKS RATE IT WILL BE BROKEN AND YOU HAVE THREE I GUESS THE KIND OF IS THAT QUESTION ONCE THE LIGHTS GO OUT OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT KIND OF US TO GET THE WHOLE BACK LIGHTING TO JUST REITERATE WHAT THE MAYOR SAID JUST I FEEL LIKE WE CAN EVEN DO SOMETHING OFF THE SIDE OR JUST OTHER WAYS TO APPOINT PEOPLE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE LIBRARY AND ON THE SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE DOOR ON GROUND
SIGNAGE OR SOMETHING. >> THE HISTORY OF THIS IS THE LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD AS A
[03:55:02]
REQUEST. IT SIGNAGE SO THERE WAS SIGNAGE AT THE OLD LIBRARY ON WEST STREET. THE CITY HAS PUT A SIGN ON WEST STREET DIRECTING YOU TO TURN ON MY BOOK SO THERE IS SIGNAGE TO DIRECTLY FROM 79 ON TO LIVE OAK TO GET TO CITY HALL.THE REQUEST WAS THEY WANTED SOMETHING TO CLARIFY WHERE THE LIBRARY WAS INSTALLED.
PEOPLE THAT NEVER MADE IT. OUTSIDE OF THE OLD LIBRARY THAT HAD THE IDEA TO JUST MOVE IT AND THAT WAS PROBLEMATIC FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. TAKING APART AND MOVING AND SECONDED TO MEET THE CONFINES FOR THE COP DEVELOPMENT AND SO THE ANSWER THAT CAME BACK ON THAT WAS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT WOULD BE TO MAKE A SIGN THAT MATCHED THE EXISTING SIGN UP FRONT. THE STYLE AND EVERYTHING IS DESIGNED TO LOOK JUST LIKE THE HUTTO CITY HALL SIGN OUT. ANY MAINTENANCE ISSUE WILL BE THE SAME ON THE@ SECOND FLOOR
SHOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT. >> WHENEVER WE CALLED FOR THIS TO GET DONE THESE LETTERS ARE MORE CONTRASTING BECAUSE THEY ARE AGAIN THE BACKGROUND. THE LETTER DOES IF MEMORY SERVES RATE IT'S LIKE A PROJECT THE DARKER THE AND THE BACK LIGHTING THE FIRST DRAW AT NIGHTTIME SO JUST WANT THIS BILL TO SEE THE WING FOR THE LIBRARY OF THIS LIBRARY BY THEORY IS NO LONGER HERE SOLUTIONS TO WORK WITH WHENEVER WE TAKE THE LETTERING BACK DOWN. THAT'S EFFECTIVELY HOW WE ENDED UP IN THE NATION FROM THE LIBRARY BOARD AND BROUGHT BY COUNCIL DIRECTIVES TO US THAN THE SOLUTION.
IF WE DON'T LIKE THE COLOR THE CONTRAST WITH THE EXACT LOCATION OF THINGS CAN BE CERTAINLY RECTIFIED. IF YOU WANT TO GO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIRECTION WE NEED TO
KNOW THAT TO. >> WITH US COMING FROM THE LIBRARY BUT THEY JUST HAVE THIS ONE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THEY COME WITH MULTIPLE RECOMMENDATIONS?
>> THEY WANTED TO SIGN. THEY WOULD'VE BEEN HAPPY WITH FIELD SIGN.
WE WERE TOLD THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE AND THEY SAID THEY JUST WANTED A SIGN INDICATING
WHERE THE LIBRARY WAS. >> I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE HUNG UP ON EXACTLY WHAT THE
SIGNS. >> I THINK ONE THING IN MANY CASES OFF-TOPIC FOR THIS IS ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM. I THINK TO REMEDY SOMETHING LIKE IT'S REALLY HELPFUL OFF OF ORDER COMMANDS COME TO THE MEETING AND OFFER UP WHY THIS RECOMMENDATION SO THAT WAY IT
[15.4. Consideration and possible action on Roadway Asset Services (RAS) Pavement Assessment and Management Plan Final Report. (Rick Coronado)]
ELIMINATES THE DO THEY WANT THIS, DO THEY KNOW THEY CAN GET THAT AS AN OPTION? WILL LOOK AT THAT FOR THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO. THOUGHT PARTIALLY THE ROOM BUT THE CONCEPT WAS IF THEY COULD SEEKING GRADUATES CAN BLOCK THIS COMPLETELY.I DEFINITELY THINK IT WOULD NOT FAVOR BEING ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
YOU HAVE THAT ONE CENTRAL COLUMN DO WITH THE DRAIN SPOTS COMING DOWN.
INCREASING THE FRONT. LIBRARY IS IN A SOCIETY MAYBE THAT WOULD BE AN OPTION BUT I
WOULDN'T PUT ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. >> OR EVEN HOW IT'S CORNER TO GO ON THE SIDE AND YOU GO TOWARDS THE DOOR. SOMETHING FELT LIKE A HANG
DOWN. >> THING DONE WOULD BE BETTER BECAUSE ONCE THE TREES BLOOM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE LIBRARY YOU HAVE A SEAT ON THE CO-OP WITH THE CHANGE OF THE
[04:00:10]
TREES BLOSSOM. >> I THINK WE AT LEAST HAVE SOME INPUT AND GETTING IT.
>> WHEN WE ASK OUR LIAISON TO ME BACK AT THE LIBRARY. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE NOT EXACTLY KEEN ON HOW THIS IS AN AT SOME OTHER OPTIONS AND OTHER THINGS TO SHARE WITH THEM WITH
OUR CONCERNS. >> AND OTHER PLANNING TO MEET IN JUNE OF THEIR COUNSEL IN JULY. AND SO THIS COULD BE ADDED TO THAT PRESENTATION IN JULY THEY ARE ALREADY PLANNING TO HERE I WOULD SUGGEST WE GO THAT ROUTE AND ASKED THEM TO BE MORE WHATEVER WE DO AT
[04:26:03]
THAT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU ARE GOING TO DO IN A SHORT PERIOD[04:26:06]
OF TIME. SUSTAINABLE GROWTH OVER TIME.[04:26:08]
SO THERE WILL BE A BALANCE TO STRIKE BETWEEN THIS FRAMEWORK[04:26:12]
AND WHAT WE CAN ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT OVER A YEAR IN THE[04:26:17]
FIVE-YEAR PLAN. >> I HAD A QUESTION ON THE COUPLE SLIDES AFTER THIS ONE THAT SAID BUDGET REQUIREMENTS AND NEEDS AND THAT'S THE ONE WITH VERTICAL LINES.
>> IF I'M READING THIS GRAPH RIGHT IF WE DID IF OUR GOAL WAS TO KEEP THE PC FUNDING AS IT IS TODAY IF WE DID THIS GRAPH THE SAME WE WOULD NEED TO SPEND 1.05 MILLION PER YEAR AND THAT DOES COMPREHEND OR THAT DOES ASSUME THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO THE CIP PROJECTS WE HAVE ALREADY OUTLINED.
ASSUMING WE WOULD DO 137, 199 AND WE WILL DO LIVE OAK AND THOSE WILL BE PAID FOR THROUGH CIP.
WE WOULD STILL NEED TO SPEND 1 MILLION OR JUST OVER 1 MILLION TO MAINTAIN THE OTHER ROADS TO KEEP US AT THE SAME PCI.
>> THAT INCLUDES RECONSTRUCTING OTHER STREETS IN THAT CATEGORY.
IF WE WANT TO TAKE THE RECONSTRUCTION STREETS SO BASICALLY ANYTHING WITH A PCI BELOW 40 IS TYPICALLY WHAT WE SAY NEEDS NEW STRUCTURE AND YOU NEED TO REBUILD.
THOSE ARE WHAT YOU WANT TO CLASSIFY SE I -- CIP ONLY.
WE WON'T SPEND ANY MAINTENANCE BUDGET ON THAT LEVEL.
WE CAN TAKE THOSE ROADS OUT OF THIS ANALYSIS.
>> I GUESS THAT'S THE QUESTION I WAS ASKING.
>> SO IT DOESN'T INCLUDE LIVE OAK BECAUSE THAT THEY CIP.
>> SO WOULD BE LESS THAN THAT. IF WE TAKE THOSE OUT.
THOSE ARE THE HIGHEST DOLLAR AMOUNTS OF THE PROJECT.
AND IF YOU HANDLE THOSE WITH FUNDING THEN YOUR MAINTENANCE FUNDING WILL GO FURTHER IN THE PRESERVATION AND WE WILL HAVE MORE OF THAT SO WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT EVERYTHING AT 40 AND ABOVE THAT WE CAN TREAT THAT WE CAN PULL THAT OUT OF THE ANALYSIS AND RUN IT THROUGH THERE AND GET NEW NUMBERS FOR
YOU TO SEE. >> IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE TO PULL THOSE OUT OF THE ANALYSIS THEN.
>> INTO YOUR POINT, ON THE CONDITION, WHAT WITH THE OVERALL CONDITION BE WITHOUT THOSE CIP PROJECTS IN THERE.
THAT IS SIMPLY A RERUN OF THE AVERAGE.
ABOUT WHAT THOSE LOOK LIKE. SO YOU GOT A LOT OF NEW DEVELOPMENT. SO WHAT RICK AND STAFF HAVE TO LOOK AT NOW IS MORE PRESERVATION INSTEAD OF BEING REACTIVE. AND DON'T LET THOSE ROADS DETERIORATE WHERE YOU HAVE TO PUT IN AN OVERNIGHT AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS BECAUSE IT'S LIKE PAINTING YOUR HOUSE. THE UV RAYS AND THE WEATHER AND THE OXIDATION WILL BE ON THE ASPHALT AND MAKE IT BRITTLE AND WILL START CRACKING SOONER. BUT PUT A CEILING ON THERE AND IT'S LIKE PUTTING PAINT ON IT TAKES THE UV RAYS AND THE BEATING OF THE WEATHERING OF THE OXIDATION WHERE IT DOESN'T DETERIORATE THAT ALL MAKE SO MUCH.
THAT'S YOUR DOLLARS IS THE ASPHALT MIX COMING OUT OF A PLAN. THE SURFACE SEAL IS RELATIVELY CHEAP. IF YOU PUT A NEW SURFACE SEAL DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE YOU'RE PUTTING QUALITY BUT LET'S SAY FIVE YEARS, YOU CAN PROLONG THE LIFE OF THAT MIXTURE QUITE A BIT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT LETTING IT OXIDIZE AND IT AGES QUICKLY.
THAT IS THE MODE WITH THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT YOU HAVE GOT GOING AND THAT IS WHERE YOU NEED TO START SHIFTING OF GETTING THIS MAINTENANCE INTO THAT TO WHERE YOU ARE PROLONGING AND PROTECTING THOSE.
THAT'S ASSUMING THEY ARE DESIGNED AND BUILT PROPERLY TO
START WITH. >> SO MAYOR, I THINK TO YOUR
[04:30:02]
POINT, I WOULD SAY ANYTHING THAT IS BELOW A 40 THAT NEEDS RECONSTRUCTION THAT'S LOCATED IN OLD TOWN SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE CIP SCHEDULE. BUT NOT EVERYTHING THAT IS BELOW 40 BECAUSE MAYBE LIKE FRONT STREET IS BELOW 40 AND IT SHOULD JUST BE REBUILT -- WE ARE NOT GOING TO PUT CURB AND GUTTER IN A TWO-MILE STRETCH JUST BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE RECONSTRUCTED.WHERE IT'S A DRAM IMPROVEMENT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO NO LONGER HAVE THE DRAINAGE DISHES AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO AT THE VERY LEAST IF WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT I THINK I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE TARGET REMOVING THE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FROM THE OLD TOWN AREA AND INPUTTING THOSE OVER TO THE CIP COLUMN AND RECALCULATING HOW MUCH WE NEED AND THE DOLLARS FOR MAINTENANCE FOR THE REST OF THE ROADS INCLUDING ROADS THAT DO NEED TO BE RECONSTRUCTED DID BUT REALLY DON'T NEED TO BE TREATED WITH SIDEWALKS AND CURB AND GUTTER AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.>> WE KNOW THAT HAS TO BE REDONE.
>> IS IN AS IT'S DONE WE HAVE TO TEAR IT UP.
>> NO IT'S TORN UP RIGHT NOW AND THE STORM REALLY DID A NUMBER WITH THE EXPANSION STUFF.
AND MAYBE IT'S A MALE AND OVERLY AT THIS POINT BUT I WOULDN'T -- I DON'T KNOW. IT'S PROBABLY NOT A 40 BUT --
>> PRESERVATION MODE. >> THAT IS A PLACE WHERE YOU WOULD SPEND SOME MONEY IN LIKE MAINTENANCE DOLLARS TO GET IT REDONE FOR THAT INTERSECTION AFTER YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CUT FOR THE WATERLINE. THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD SPEND MAINTENANCE DOLLARS. WHERE I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE FOR THE CALCULATIONS , LOOKING AT THE MAINTENANCE DOLLARS WOULD BE THE EXACT EXAMPLE OF HUTTO STREET OR ANY STREET WHERE WE ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY GO MORE THAN LIKELY AND JUST TEAR THOSE ROADS UP AND THEN REBUILD THEM EXACTLY THE WAY THEY ARE. WE WILL BE UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE I THINK TO DELIVER OF IMPROVEMENT OF STORM DRAINS AND SIDEWALKS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET VERY FAR WITH $1 MILLION IF YOU ARE BUILDING A ROAD WITH STORM DRAINS AND SIDEWALKS.
>> YOU CAN REDO THAT AND SEND IT OUT TO US.
THAT WAY WE HAVE THIS. I REALLY THINK THE ACTION AND THE CONVERSATION FOR HOW MUCH NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN A COUPLE MONTHS. WE WILL ADD IN THESE PROJECTS ON THE CIP LONG-TERM WILL HAVE THE DATE AND SEE HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE DURING THE BUDGET. THEY ARE ASKING FOR 500 AND WE THINK WE CAN DO FOR 75 OR 450 BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO PUT MONEY IN SIDEWALKS AND THEN WE CAN HAVE THAT DEBATE THEN.
THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP US. >> THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS IF WE PUT THEM IN THE CIP FOR THE OLD TOWN IMPROVEMENTS LIKE THAT, AT SOME POINT WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK OUT FOR ROAD BONDS THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU WOULD NAME THOSE ROADS AS A SEPARATE ITEM AND EACH ONE IN OLD TOWN AND SEE WHICH ONE THE CITIZENS VOTE FOR TO DO. AND THEN WE WOULD ACTUALLY GO
DO IT. >> AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS AN AND QUESTION. WITH THE BUDGET CUT AND LIKE ROAD MAINTENANCE. CAN WE BUY EQUIPMENT AND HIRE PEOPLE I GUESS WHERE IS THE FLOW OF THINGS.
AND THIS IS MORE RELEVANT TO OUR BUDGET TALKS AND EVERYTHING. OF GETTING THAT IN DECIDING ON THAT NUMBER. AND WHAT EQUIPMENT PUBLIC WORKS NEEDS AND THE MANPOWER TOO. INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING TODAY 7000 WE WANT TO SPEND BUT IT WILL COST WITH EQUIPMENT AND EXTRA PEOPLE BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU LIKE THAT ALTOGETHER.
OR YOU SAY ONLY FOR MATERIAL ON THE ROADS.
AND JUST SEPARATE THAT OUT. >> IT ALL HAS TO GET ACCOUNTED FOR BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN AD ONE OR TWO PERSON TYPE OF THINK THAT THIS IS MULTIPLE CREWS AND YOU ARE TO CONTRACT A LOT OF THIS JUST BECAUSE IT IS MORE COST-EFFECTIVE THAN IT IS GOING AND BUYING A TON OF EXPENSIVE STREET EQUIPMENT.
YOU ARE GOING TO BRING IN CREWS THAT JUST BUILD ROADS FOR A LIVING AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. SO THAT IS EFFECTIVELY HOW YOU
[15.5. Consideration and possible action on appointing the Mayor Pro Tem pursuant to Hutto City Charter Section 3.05 (Legal)]
TACKLE THESE PROBLEMS BUT THERE'S A COMBINATION OF SOME MAINTENANCE YOU PERFORM YOURSELF AT SOME MAINTENANCE YOUOUTSOURCE. >> IT WILL ALL BE CONSIDERED AND WRAPPED INTO THE BUDGET DISCUSSIONS TO INCLUDE THIS PLAN AS PART OF THE BACK INTO THE BUDGETS.
[04:35:01]
WHETHER IT'S PERSONNEL, EQUIPMENT, CONTRACT SERVICES AND ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO IN- HOUSE WITH MATERIALS AND ALL THAT WILL BE WRAPPED INTO THE PROPOSAL FOR THE BUDGET.RICK, THANKS. >> ITEM 15 .5 CONSIDERATION PURSUANT TO HUTTO CITY CHARTER SECTION 3.05.
I REMEMBER A PROTOCOL IS RIGHT WE OPEN UP FIRST TWO NOMINATIONS SO START TO MAKE THIS EASY SINCE IT'S GETTING CLOSE TO
MIDNIGHT HERE. >> JUST OPEN IT UP FOR NOMINATIONS. ANYBODY HAVE A NOMINATION?
>> I WILL GET GOING. I NOMINATE MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON.
>> I WILL SECOND THAT. >> I WILL PUT COUNCIL MEMBER
KOHLER ON THAT. >> FOR NOMINATIONS YOU JUST NOMINATE AND ANYONE CAN NOMINATE ANYONE FOR THE NOMINATION PHASE. YOU DON'T NEED A SECOND.
BUT IF THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON THAT HAS BEEN NOMINATED THEN
YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION. >> I'D LIKE THE RECORD TO SHOW
THAT I SECONDED THOUGH. >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS? ALL RIGHT HEARING ON LET'S JUST MAKE THE MOTION TO APPOINT MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON. DO YOU
WANT TO SECOND THAT? >> FINE, I SECOND.
>> IRD SCRATCHED IT OUT. SECOND BIKE COUNSEL MEMBER THOMPSON. I WOULD JUST SAY I MADE THIS WHEN THINGS WERE GOING PRETTY GOOD.
FOR THE PAST YEAR. WORKING ON SOME THINGS WITH DOWNTOWN HUTTO AND I DON'T SEE REASON TO CHANGE. YOU DID A GOOD JOB AT THE MEETING. A LITTLE BIT OF A CIRCUS.
AND ACTUALLY RAN A MEETING. SO THAT WAS GOOD.
YEAH. >> I WILL JUST AGREE WITH YOU.
>> MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON RAN THE MEETING ON TUESDAY VERY WELL AND NICE AND SMOOTH. SO I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN HIM IF THE MAYOR WOULD TO BE ABSENT THAT HE COULD TAKE IT ON.
AND I ALSO FEEL LIKE THE TWO OF YOU BALANCE EACH OTHER WELL.
DIFFERENT DYNAMICS AND PERSONALITIES AND BRING DIFFERENT PERSON BACKED UP TO THE TABLE AND WHEN YOU ARE TALKING WITH OTHERS. SO THAT WORKS OUT GREAT.

I JUST PULLED THIS BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PROTEST OR SOMETHING SO I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW WE ARE
DISCUSSING IT SO FEEL FREE. >> WE ARE OPPOSING IT.
>> MAYOR, COUNCIL, WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CALLS AND EMAILS AND COMPLAINTS FROM CITIZENS THAT THIS IS A PROJECT UP AND NORTHWEST HUTTO WEST OF 130 NORTH OF THE LOOP PROPOSING TO PUT A PACKAGE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AS PART OF THEIR SUBDIVISION PROJECT AND IT WOULD IN THEORY THE DESIGN IS THAT IT WOULD DRAIN INTO THE STORM DRAIN DITCH ALONG THE LOOP THAT WOULD THEN CROSS UNDER AND FLOW UNTIL HE GETS TO THE CREEK. AND SO BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CITIZEN COMPLAINTS THE ICE-T ADOPTED A SIMILAR RESOLUTION OPPOSING THIS AND THE GOAL IS TO PUSH FOR A PUBLIC HEARING WITH TC CUTE TO TRY TO OPPOSE THIS AND GET IT TO STOP AND THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESOLUTION IS THE CITY TAKING AN OFFICIAL POSITION THAT WE OPPOSE THIS PACKAGE
PLANT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. >> DID WE NOT WORK OUT A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THESE PEOPLE TO WHERE SOMETHING WOULD TRIGGER THEM TO COME TO THE CITY AND OR AM I IN THE
WRONG DEVELOPMENT? >> I BELIEVE THERE WAS A CONVERSATION. THERE WAS A CONVERSATION I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS. THEY HAD COME TO THE CITY AND PROPOSED SOME AGREEMENT THAT APPARENTLY -- ACTUALLY CAN TELL YOU THE HISTORY BETTER THAN I CAN.
>> WE PASSED THAT AGREEMENT, RIGHT? OR IS THIS THE WRONG DEVELOPMENT?
>> NO, YOU ARE CORRECT. THIS WAS DONE IN LATE SUMMER OF 2021 AND WAS CALLED THE MANSIONS PROJECT.
THEY WERE ASKING TO NOT HAVE TO ANNEX AND THERE WERE OTHER THINGS IN THE AGREEMENT THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH OF A DEAL AND THEY WANTED US TO PARTICIPATE IN PART OF THE WASTEWATER LINE AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDING AT THAT TIME SO THE PAST AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DEVELOP IN THE COUNTY.
>> EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE HICK UP WITH THE WASTEWATER.
>> I THINK THEY WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WOULD GO TO SIENA BUT THEY WERE NOT UNWILLING TO LET THEM OUT OF OUR E TJ.
THAT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. THERE WAS SOMETHING ALONG THOSE
LINES. >> THESE ARE THE GUYS THAT TRIED TO GET THE BILL PASSED THROUGH THE HOUSE OR IS THAT
ANOTHER DEVELOPER? >> THAT WAS THE MUD OVER BY --
>> SOUTH WORK PAID >> THIS REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING COUNCILMAN CLARK SAID. THE PUBLIC -- WE DON'T ALWAYS VOTE FOR THESE BECAUSE HE THIS IS A GREAT IDEA AND LET'S BUILD 2000 MORE APARTMENTS. SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR THINGS BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T BRING THEM IN THE END UP WITH SITUATIONS LIKE THIS TO WHERE THEN THEY TRY TO GO AROUND US WHICH IS SOMETIMES EVEN MORE PROBLEMATIC THAN IF WE JUST MAKE I'M NOT SAYING WE DID ANYTHING WRONG BUT SO YOU GUYS WANT US TO APPROVE A VERY STERNLY WRITTEN LETTER AND WE ALL SIGN ON AND PUSH THE STATE TO TC CUTE TO HAVE A HEARING WHERE WE CAN JUST DO IT. LET HUTTO RAISE WITH THEM TO
>> YOU'RE SAYING IN ADDITION TO THE RESOLUTION?
[04:45:03]
>> NOTE THAT IS WHAT THE RESOLUTION IS.
FOR A LETTER. BUT I THINK WE OUGHT TO ALL SIGN . I DON'T KNOW WHO SIGNS. IF THE MAYOR SIGNS THAT SAY THINGS BUT I THINK IT SHOWS SOMETHING IF EVERY COUNCILMEMBER SIGNS ONTO IT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS USUALLY
DONE. >> WHAT'S IN THE PACKET IS WOULD HAVE YOU SIGNING AS THE MAYOR.
>> I THINK IT'S BETTER IF WE ALL ÃMAKE
>> YOU WANT TO ADD SIGNATORY LINES.
>> IT'S EASY TO ADD ADDITIONAL SIGNATURE LINES.
>> I'M SAYING YOU GUYS DONE THIS BEFORE SO DOES IT MEAN ANYTHING WHEN THE ENTIRE CITY COUNCIL PUTS PEN TO PAT PAPER
BUT A LETTER IS A P >> I THINK A LETTER IS A LETTER BUT CERTAINLY SEVEN COUNCILMEMBERS ALL SIGNING ON THE RESOLUTION AS IN FAVOR OF OPPOSING THIS HAS TO CARRY SOME MESSAGE BUT THE REAL WORK HAPPENS ONCE THEY POST FOR A NATURAL PUBLIC HEARING AND THAT'S WHEN WE NEED TO GET OUT AND GO AND BE PRESENT. AND WE DO HAVE LEGAL COUNSEL ON
THAT TOO. >> SO WHEN DID THIS, I GUESS -- WHEN DID THEY SUBMIT THE PERMIT OR APPLICATION OR WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO DO. WHAT WAS THE TIMEFRAME OR HOW LONG HAVE THEY HAD SUBMITTED AN UNDER REVIEW FOR HOW LONG. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH?
>> THE WAY THE PROCEDURE TYPICALLY WORKS OUT IS THEY SUBMIT THE PERMIT AND IT GOES THROUGH PRELIMINARY ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH OUR WASTEWATER PLANT WHERE WE GO THROUGH ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW.
ONCE THEY ARE DEEMED ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLETE THEN THEY PROCEED ON TO TECHNICAL REVIEW.
AND THEN THE TECHNICAL REVIEW PROCESS, THAT'S WHEN TC CUTE WILL START PUSHING THEM TO GET ALL THEIR NOTICES OUT AND IT WAS JUST BY REALLY CITIZENS PAYING ATTENTION THAT WE EVEN FOUND OUT ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE WORK THE CITY OF HUTTO ITSELF WAS LEFT OFF THE NOTICING LIST. SO IT WAS JUST THE PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE PACKAGE PLANT THAT WERE NOTICED SO ONE OF THOSE CITIZENS CONTACTED ACTUALLY.
AND THEN SHE STARTED TALKING TO ME AND WE STARTED TO TRY TO FIGURE THIS WHOLE THING OUT AND THEY SHARED WITH US THE NOTICE AND SAID IT WAS OUR LIBRARY WHICH IS ACTUALLY JUST OUTSIDE OF OUR LIBRARY WHERE I GUESS PEOPLE PUBLISH ALL OF OUR PUBLIC NOTICES OVER BY THE VENDING MACHINE SO I CAME DOWN AND FOUND THE PACKET. I GOT IT SCANNED AND SENT IT AROUND TO EVERYBODY SO EVERYBODY WAS IN THE LOOP OF WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE WE WERE ALL COMPLETELY BLINDSIDED.
BAKE SUCK IT INTO LIBRARY DRIVE IT OFF.
>> SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY HAVE BEEN GONE THROUGH TECHNICAL REVIEW AND TC Q HAS BASICALLY SAID THEY ARE TECHNICALLY COMPLETE BUT BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN SUCH A PUBLIC OUTCRY NOW TC Q HAS PUT NOTICES OUT SAYING THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING.
I DON'T REMEMBER RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WHAT DATE THAT PUBLIC HEARING IS SET FOR. BUT WE ARE CURRENTLY IN A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD NOW THAT WAS AN PREVIOUSLY GOING TO BE
INCLUDED. >> WE NEED TO SUBMIT PUBLIC COME ONLINE RIGHT NOW AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE AN OFFICIAL
>> WE GET THAT DATE OUT TO ALL OF US.
>> YES, SIR. >> SO TO CLARIFY, THIS PROPERTY IS IN THE HUTTO BUT NOT IN OUR SEWER CCN.
>> OUTSIDE OF IT BUT ACTUALLY NOT IN ANYBODY'S SEWER CCN.
SO WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEARBY TO SERVE THEM.
>> IT WOULD BE A LONG LINE TO GET THERE TO SERVE THEM.
THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS IT WAS AN ISSUE TWO YEARS AGO.
AND I THINK RIMROCK HAS A LINE YOUR BIKE BUT IT'S NOT IN THEIR E TJ AND NOT INTERESTED IN JUMPING IN.
>> SO ACTUALLY AND WE CAN SEND YOU THE WHOLE PERMIT PACKAGE IF YOU WANT TO READ IT. BUT THE ACTUALLY DID GO TO ROUND ROCK TO TRY TO GET INTO BASICALLY BECAUSE ROUND ROCK REACHED INTO PART OF SIENA THAT'S NOT DESPERATE THAT'S IN OUR E TJ. I GUESS WE ALL AGREED TO THAT.
SO THEY WERE LIKE CAN WE JUST PIGGYBACK ONTO THAT AND ROUND ROCK TOLD THEM NO. THEY STRAIGHT UP SAID NO WE DO NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.
AND SO YOU ARE CORRECT. THEY ARE IN OUR TJ NOBODY'S WASTEWATER CCN AND NO WASTEWATER FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA SO THEY ARE PROPOSING THIS PACKAGE PLAN.
>> THANK YOU. >> SAYS THAT DECREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF TC Q LIKE, RULING AGAINST THEIR PERMIT THEN
[04:50:02]
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IF THEY'RE LOOKING AT FACTUAL DATA, NOT NECESSARILY LIKE RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC COMMENT THAT IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT THEN THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE INCLUDED AND RIMROCK SAID NO AND HUTTO ALSO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO LIKE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT REACH AND TYPICALLY DONE WITH THE CCN.>> I CAN'T SPEAK FOR TC Q OBVIOUSLY.
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE DIDN'T TELL THEM THAT WE WOULDN'T SERVE THEM. WE JUST TOLD THEM THAT WE WERE NOT GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COST TO SERVE THEM.
AND SO MAYBE THEY TOOK THAT AS WE SAID NO AND SO I THINK WHEN TC Q LOOKS AT EVERYTHING THEY LOOK AT IT FROM AN MAGISTRATE OF AND IS EVERYTHING HERE THAT WE NEED TO REVIEW.
IS THERE ANYTHING TECHNICALLY WRONG WITH THIS THAT WOULD ENDANGER THE ENVIRONMENT OR ENDANGER PEOPLE'S LIVES.
SO THAT'S THE FIRST THING THEY LOOK AT.
AND THEN I CAN SPEAK TO SOME EXTENT.
TC Q WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE WAY THE PUBLIC REACTS TO THINGS BECAUSE I KNOW IN RECENT HISTORY THE CITY TRY TO EXPAND ITS WASTEWATER CCN, HUTTO DID. AND THERE WERE CITIZENS THAT CAME OUT IN OPPOSITION OF THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NOTHINGÃ MAKE WE WERE DOING EVERYTHING TECHNICALLY CORRECT AND THEY CAME OUT AND OPPOSE THAT AND SO THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THAT WASTEWATER CCN. SO TC Q DOES TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HOW MUCH IT WILL WAY. BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU.
>> BUT IT CAN'T HURT. >> ALL RIGHT.
