[4. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE]

[5.1. Parks and Recreation Month]

[00:03:54]

WHEREAS PARK AND RECREATION PROGRAMMING AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES SUCH AS OUT OF SCHOOL TIME PROGRAMMING, YOUTH SPORTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION ARE CRITICAL TO CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND WHERE AS PARKS AND RECREATION INCREASING COMMUNITY'S ECONOMIC PROSPERITY THROUGH INCREASED PROPERTY VALUES, EXPANSION OF THE LOCAL TAX BASE, INCREASE TOURISM, THE ATTRACTION RETENTION OF BUSINESSES AND CRIME REDUCTION.

AND WHEREAS PARK AND RECREATION ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITY AND WHEREAS OUR PARKS AND NATURAL RECREATION AREAS ENSURE THE ECOLOGICAL BEAUTY OF OUR COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE A PLACE FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS TO CONNECT WITH NATURE AND RECREATIONAL DOORS.

AND WHEREAS THE USE HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES HAS DESIGNATED JULY OF PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH.

AND WHERE IS THE CITY OF HUTTO RECOGNIZES THE BENEFITS FROM PARK AND RECREATION RESOURCES. NOW THEREFORE WE THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE CITY OF HUTTO DUBAI PROCLAIM JULY AS PARKS AND

[00:05:01]

SAY. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR, THIS IS WHERE THE COMMUNITY GROWS AND WERE HERE TO CELEBRATE THE PARKS AND RECREATION AND BRING TOGETHER THE ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND FOSTERING THE GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.

OUR PARKS AND RECREATION OFFERS CAMPS, LEAGUES, CLASSES, THE PARKS TEAM HAS 300 ACRES, FIVE RESTAURANTS, FOUR PLAYGROUPS, SPLASH PAD, MAINTAINING DOWNTOWN AND INSPECTING 8 MILES OF TRAIL, TONIGHT WE HAVE MEMBERS OF THE PARKS BOARD HERE SOME OF OUR SUMMER CAMP STAFF AND SOME OF OUR SUMMER CAMPERS TO HELP US CELEBRATE. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.

THERE YOU ARE, PARKS CHAIRMAN. >> THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. WHEN I MOVED TO TEXAS IN 1990, MY SECOND JOB IN TEXAS WAS WITH THE ARTS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND WE WERE RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THERE WAS A GUY NAMED PHIL BREWER AND HE TOLD ME AT THAT TIME THERE ARE THREE THINGS THAT COME TO A CITY, NUMBER ONE IS SCHOOL SYSTEM. I THINK WE GOT THAT.

NUMBER TWO IS FIRST RESPONDERS, CHIEF, WE GOT THAT? WE GOT THAT. THE THIRD IS A GOOD PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM. WE ARE STRIVING TO BE THE BEST IN THIS AREA, ARE WE THERE YET, NO WE ARE NOT.

WE DECIDED 20 ACRES OF PARKLAND JUST NORTH OF BLOOMBERG LOOP ON EDGE SMIT. WERE IN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING A COMPLETE REDO OF FRITZ PARK AND WE ARE REVAMPING AFTER COVE IT ALL OF OUR RECREATIONAL PARENTS NEED TO KNOW IF THEY'RE MOVING TO THE STAND WORKING FOR COMPANY THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING FOR THEIR KIDS TO DO EXCEPT FOR RUNNING THE STREETS AND GET IN TROUBLE. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, EVERYONE. >> NEXT WE HAVE HUTTO CITIZENS

[5.2. Hutto Citizens University Recognition]

UNIVERSITY RECOGNITION. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL MY NAME IS KATE MORIARTY AND THE ANALYST HERE IN THE CITY. I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE IN BEING TASKED WITH BRINGING BACK HUTTO CITIZENS UNIVERSITY AFTER A BRIEF HIATUS FROM THE PANDEMIC.

IN OUR RETURN OF THE PROGRAM, WE WERE ABLE TO PROGRAM NINE DIFFERENT CLASSES THAT COMBINED SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, ALL OF THAT ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

THIS WAS REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR STAFF TO BE ABLE TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES TO THE PUBLIC AND BE ABLE TO PUT FACES TO NAMES AND ASK QUESTIONS THAT THEY HAVE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT WE ALSO HAD TO FIELD TRIPS THAT WE TOOK OUR ATTENDEES ON, ONE BEING THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT WHICH IS NOT SUPER ATTRACTIVE. BUT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD AT LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR THEM. OUR SECOND ONE WAS THE HUTTO SILOS FARMERS MARKET SO THEY CAN KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD A FARMERS MARKET AND ENCOURAGE THAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. MOVING FORWARD WE DO INTEND TO HAVE A SOPHOMORE LEVEL HC YOU SO WE WILL BE MORE IN-DEPTH AND IT WILL INVOLVE MORE DEVELOPED CURRICULUM.

A LOT OF CITIES DON'T DO THIS. THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT HUTTO WOULD BE PRETTY UNIQUE AND AS FAR AS HER REGION OF DOING.

ADDITIONALLY WE WILL BE ESTABLISHING AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION JUST TO ENCOMPASS THAT FEELING OF COMMUNITY EVEN MORE. WITH THAT BEING SAID, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT ANY OF YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE

PROGRAM. >> I AM SO HAPPY IT IS BACK,

THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. >> I HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE PROGRAM. A COUPLE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN THIS CLASS AND HAVE RAVED ABOUT IT.

GREAT WORK, CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING THROUGH YOUR FIRST CLASS BACK AFTER COVID AND LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE CLASSES TO

COME ALSO MARK. >> AND GLADYS BACK IN IF WE GO

[00:10:04]

>> I HAVE A QUESTION, WHAT WAS THE TIMEFRAME, WHEN DID YOU START AND HOW OFTEN DID YOU ALL MEET AND THAT'S IT.

TOUCH HIM BRIEFLY THE STUFF THAT YOU DID IN THE TIMEFRAME OF HOW

QUICK IT WAS. >> IT WAS A NINE WEEK PROGRAM.

WE STARTED MAY 2, JUNE 22 WAS HER LAST OFFICIAL CLASS, MAY BE OFF A WEEK. WE MET IN THE EVENINGS FROM 6 - 8:00 P.M. BUT THERE WERE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND SO MUCH CURIOSITY THAT I THINK ONLY ONE TIME DID WE ACTUALLY FINISH AT 8:00 O'CLOCK, MOST OF THEM WENT UNTIL 830 MAYBE EVEN OUT OVER THAT SO THAT JUST SPEAKS TO THE CURIOSITY THAT THE PUBLIC HAS IN OUR STAFF ARE REALLY WHIRLING TO STAY IN ENGAGE IN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. THIS IS REALLY GREAT THINGS.

THAT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO BE THE DURATION OF THE PROGRAM

MOVING FORWARD. >> ARE YOU HOPING TO DO THIS, A YEAR, WHAT YOU TRYING TO DO WITH THE LEVEL OF INTEREST IN THE PROGRAM EXPANDED INTO MULTIPLE TIMES A YEAR WERE JUST DEPENDING

ON INTEREST? >> IT WOULD DEFINITELY DEPEND ON THE LEVEL OF INTEREST BUT WERE PLANNING TO DO IT TWICE A YEAR IN OUR HCU SOPHOMORE LEVEL PROBABLY ONCE A YEAR JUST DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH INTEREST CONTINUES AFTER THE INITIAL LEVEL. FOR THE NEXT YEAR WERE PLANNING ON DOING REGULAR LEVEL AND THEN A SOPHOMORE LEVEL AS WELL.

>> THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.

I'M EXCITED TO SEE OTHER GRADUATES.

>> I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

I KNOW FROM THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO GIVE ANGELA ALL THE VACANCIES WE'VE HAD AVAILABLE AND SHARE WITH THE HCV GROUP AND IF THEY WERE NOT SHARED BY THE MEETING IF WE COULD GET BACK TO THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION AND CONTINUALLY EVERY TIME THERE'S A VACANCY WE SEND IT OUT TO THAT GROUP BECAUSE LIBERTY SHOWN EVIDENCE AND A WILLINGNESS AND COMMITMENT TO SERVE THE CITY. WE WANT THEM TO GET A PRIORITY FAST TRACK OF ANY OPENINGS OF THE CITY.

WE CAN WORK WITH THE CITY SECRETARY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN,

THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> BEFORE YOU GO, KATE IS VERY HUMBLE AND SHE DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB PULLING THIS OFF.

SHE WAS GIVEN VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF BUMPERS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY SO SHE HAD A LOT OF ROOM TO VEER OFF INTO THE DITCH AND SHE DIDN'T SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB, CAN WE GIVE HER A QUICK ROUND OF APPLAUSE. THANK YOU FOR HER.

I AM LEANING OVER HERE EVER SINCE WILDLY.

AS WE RECOGNIZE THE GRADUATES, ANOTHER IDEA THAT KATE HAD WAS TO COMMISSION A SPECIAL HUTTO CITIZENS UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE COIN FOR ANY OF THE GRADUATES. ON ONE SIDE IS THE CITY HALL AND YOU COULD SEE THE HIPPOPOTAMUS, CLASS OF 23 AND ON THE OTHER SIDE HUTTO CITIZENS UNIVERSITY IN COLORS, WE WILL GIVE THIS TO EACH OF THE GRADUATES AS THEY COME.

GET THEIR CERTIFICATES. >> GASSER, THANK YOU WELL.

I WILL GO AHEAD AND CALL UP OUR ATTENDEES, IF YOU COULD COME TO THE FRONT WE WILL RECOGNIZE YOU, ANGEL BRANDO, CHERYL STEWART, DON HERNANDEZ, HALEY SALINAS, KYLE PARKINSON, LAUREN BRINK, MICHAEL GRAY, PARENTS WINS IN YOU LONDA.

>> YOU ALL EVEN HAVE SHIRTS, THAT IS CUTE.

I LOVE IT. CAN WE GIVE THEM A ROUND OF

[00:15:02]

APPLAUSE. >> NEXT WE HAVE CITY MANAGER

[6. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS]

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS GET RECOGNIZED.

WE THINK OF THE CITY COUNCIL AS THE CITY COUNCIL.

EVERY TIME IT CHANGES IT IS A NEW CITY COUNCIL.

TONIGHT WE AVENUE COUNCIL WITH THE SEATING OF COUNCIL MEMBER DANA WOLCOTT SHE WAS SWORN INTO OFFICE ON JUNE 20 WE WANT TO WELCOME HER TO THE DAIS AND THANK YOU FOR HER WILLINGNESS TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY. WE DID DID A LITTLE DIGGING IN OUR RECORDS AND WE HAVE CONFIRMED YOU WILL BE THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMAN TO HAVE SERVED ON THE CITY COUNCIL IN THE CITY OF HUTTO. NEXT I GOT A BRAG ABOUT THE FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. BASICALLY I'M GETTING MY VOICE BACK BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE THERE I APPRECIATE THAT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WORRY YOU MISS ME TO GETTING TO INTRODUCE THE BIG ACT, THAT WAS A GOOD TIME.

IT TOOK A LOT OF PEOPLE A LOT OF EFFORT IN ORDER TO PUT THAT EVENT TOGETHER AND IT REALLY WAS AMAZING, YOU DON'T GET TO SEE IT UNTIL YOU'RE STANDING UP ON THE STAGE AND LOOKING AT THE AUDIENCE. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THEIR FAMILIES ENJOYING THE NIGHT, EVEN ENJOYING THE CITY SWAG WHICH IS DIFFICULT TO ENJOY CITY SWAG BUT THERE WAS FINDING WAYS TO KNOCK AROUND BEACH BALLS THEY WERE HAVING A GREAT TIME. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OUR VOLUNTEERS THAT WERE THERE AND PEOPLE WHO WERE VOLUNTEERING FROM OUTSIDE OF THE CITY EMPLOYEES STAFF BUT OF THE EMPLOYEE DEPARTMENTS, OF COURSE WE HAD THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, PARKS AND, COMMUNITY OUTREACH OF THE COMMUNICATION TEAM AND THOSE FOLKS REALLY PUT IN THE REAL HOURS MAKING SURE JULY 4 EVENT WENT OFF WITH A BANG.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE DIRECTORS OF CHAOS, THAT WAS A BIG FIRST EVENT THERE IS SOME LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AFTER EVERY EVENT BUT I WAS PRETTY IMPRESSED WITH HOW SMOOTH EVERYTHING WORKED, THE SECURITY SYSTEMS THAT WERE IN PLACE OF THE VARIOUS DIFFERENT CHECKPOINTS, CHECKING PEOPLE'S BAGS, EVERYTHING MOVES SMOOTHLY UNTIL IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE AND WE KNOW THIS COULD BE A CHOKEPOINT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO WE HAD VENDORS AND ENTERTAINERS, FOLKS PERFORMING ON STAGE, IT WAS A GREAT EVENT ALL THE WAY AROUND BUT NONE OF THAT WOULD'VE MATTERED IF THE COMMUNITY WOULD NOT OF SHOWED UP.

THANK YOU WHO CAME OUT AND MADE A HUGE SUCCESS.

THE NEXT ANNOUNCEMENT BUILDING THE FUTURE VIDEO.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU BEEN CATCHING THESE VIDEOS BUT THEY'RE PRETTY IMPRESSIVE AND THEY THINK THEY'RE PRETTY KNEE I MIGHT HAVE TO TELL THEM TO PLAY IN COUNCIL MEETINGS.

THE LATEST EPISODE OF THE VIDEO DROPPED THIS WEEK, THIS EPISODE IS EPISODE FOUR AND A HIGHLIGHTS HOW HUTTO IS WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS TO EXPAND ALTERNATE CORRIDOR AND ENHANCE REGIONAL MOBILITY. THAT IS POSTED ON THE CITY FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE PAGES AND THERE IS MORE INFORMATION TIED TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PAGE ON THE CITY WEBSITE.

LOTS OF WAYS TO GET INFORMED ON THAT.

NEXT WE NEED TO TALK WATER CONSERVATION REAL QUICK.

WE DID DECLARE STAGE ONE DROUGHT CONSERVATION THIS LAST MONTH IN JUNE. JULY IS TYPICALLY ONE OF THE HOTTEST MONTHS ON RECORD, SOMETIMES AUGUST BEATS IT BUT GENERALLY JULY IS WHEN WE START TO SEE THE SPIKES AND WATER USAGE AS PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DESPERATELY KEEP THEIR LAWNS FROM GETTING TOASTY. WITH THAT SAID, RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN STAGE I WHICH IS OPTIONAL SO IT'S BASICALLY VOLUNTARY WATERING RESTRICTIONS SO YOU START TO GET USED TO THE WAY THE WATER RESTRICTIONS WORK WHEN THEY BECOME MANDATORY.

THOSE RESTRICTIONS ARE OUTDOOR WATERING BY AUTOMATED SPRINKLERS

[00:20:01]

OR AFTER 8:00 P.M. SO BASICALLY NOT DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY.

WE ARE APPROACHING THE TRIGGER TO MOVE TO STAGE TWO HOWEVER, I EXPECT IF WE CONTINUE ON THE SAME TRAJECTORY WILL PROBABLY HIT THE STAGE TO TRIGGER WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

WHATEVER THAT HAPPENS THE VOLUNTARY RESTRICTIONS THEN BECOME MANDATORY AND THOSE IN TURN BECOME ENFORCED BY THE HUTTO POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.

BE AWARE AND BE RESPONSIBLE AND DO YOUR BEST TO BE VIGILANT AND CONSERVE AND TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO VISIT OUR WEBSITE/WATER TO GET ALL THE DETAILS THERE IS MAPS TO DETERMINE WHO YOUR WATER PROVIDER IS BECAUSE THESE ARE IN EFFECT FOR HUTTO WATER CUSTOMERS THERE OTHER FOLKS HAVE DIFFERENT SCHEDULES.

YOU NEED TO BE EDUCATED ON WHAT THOSE ARE TWO.

AS WE DO EVERY MONTH ON THE FIRST MEETING WE CELEBRATE PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION AND NEW HIRES FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE TWO PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION THAT WE HAVE ON OUR STAFF. THE FIRST ONE IS ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF DUANE JONES. ARE YOU BACK THERE CHIEF? , HE SKIPPED OUT. LET ME SHARE WITH YOU WHAT CHIEF JONES WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE. CHIEF JONES GRADUATED FROM THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMAND OFFICER PROGRAM WITH THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEF ASSOCIATION, THAT MAY NOT SOUND TOO INCREDIBLY IMPRESSIVE HE IS A 46 POLICE OFFICER IN THE STATE EVER TO GRADUATE FROM THE PROGRAM. NOT THAT THEY GRADUATED 46 THIS YEAR, 46 TOTAL AND HE IS A 461 THERE'S BEEN A FEW AFTER HIM.

ATTENDEES WITH A HIGH LEVEL TRAINING FOR SKILLS IN LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL DYNAMICS IN DEVELOPING THE HEART OF A LEADER, THIS IS A STRATEGIC AUDIT THAT PLACES CHIEF JONES AND THEN ELITE CLASS OF OFFICERS IN OUR STATE.

WE GIVE HIM A LITTLE BIT OF RECOGNITION IF THAT'S ALRIGHT.

YOU CAN PASS THAT LOVE TO HIM I HOPE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THE GRADUATE-LEVEL AND BILL ESTATE FROM RICE UNIVERSITY. CHENEY HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK ON THE REGULAR DUTIES AS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THIS REINFORCES CHENEY'S COMMITMENT TO THE HUTTO OPERATIONS.

, NEW HIRES, ONE FULL-TIME NEW HIRE INTO TEMPS AND AN INTERN WORKING TO RECOGNIZE THOSE FOLKS, THE FIRST ONE I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE IS ADRIANA MARTINEZ SENIOR MANAGEMENT ASSISTANT AND PUBLIC WORKS. ADRIANA SERVED THREE YEARS IN THE U.S. ARMY AND HAS FIVE YEARS OF CLERICAL AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND SHE PRODS HERSELF ON BEING RELIABLE, DETAILED ORIENTED AND GREAT COMMUNICATION SKILLS, SHE RECENTLY MOVED TO HUTTO AND EXCITED NOT ONLY TO LIVE HERE BUT SERVE OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL, SERVING THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS SHE'S EFFECTIVELY THE ADMINISTRATIVE ARM OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SUPPORTS RICK CORONADO IN ADMINISTRATIVE ROLE.

THE NEXT TWO ARE TEMP POSITIONS AND NEITHER OF THEM ARE ABLE TO BE HERE BUT WE WANT TO INTRODUCE THEM ALL THE SAME.

THE ANDREA DAVIS' ADMINISTRATIVE TEMP AND FINANCE ENT MATTHEWS' ADMINISTRATIVE TEMP AND FINANCE. THE ANDREA IS ATTENDING BRENTWOOD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IN AUSTIN SHE'S PLANNING ATTENDING WICHITA TO PURSUE A DEGREE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND AVID BOWLER IN HOPES TO COMPETE PROFESSIONALLY AND THE BOWLERS ASSOCIATION. HE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND RECEIVED THE ADMINISTRATIVE CERTIFICATE FROM EVEREST INSTITUTE SHE BRINGS 10 YEARS OF SPRINGS FROM THE CITY OF HUTTO AND SERVED AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER AND ORGANIZE DEAN AND THEN WE HAVE AN INTERN, BRANDON I SAW HIM EARLIER, COME ON UP, BRANDON OXFORD INTERNING IN THE IT DEPARTMENT, BRANDON IS A SENIOR AT CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PURSUING A DEGREE

[00:25:05]

[7. PUBLIC COMMENT]

FIRST WE HAVE DONNA FOWLER. MY NAME IS DONNA FOWLER I LIVE DOWN ON LIVE OAK STREET AND I'M A MEMBER OF HUTTO LUTHERAN CHURCH IN A BID ON THE PROPERTY COMMITTEE THERE FOR OVER 25 YEARS. I WANTED TO TALK OF THE DEBATE ABOUT FRITZ PARK DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT WHICH IS GREATLY NEEDED AND APPRECIATED. SO MANY PEOPLE USE THE PARK AND IS SUCH AN AWESOME PARK BUT THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE GOING TO COME VERY CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE OF HUTTO LUTHERAN CHURCH.

AND WE ALREADY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE PUBLIC DRIVING ON THE CHURCH GROUNDS TO GET DOWN TO THE PAVILION AREA.

EVEN THOUGH THE CITY HAS PROVIDED SIGNS THAT SAY NO PUBLIC THOROUGHFARE. WE'VE ALREADY MET WITH JEFF WHITE ONCE AND HE'S GOING TO BE VERY ENGAGED IN HELPING US WORK OUT BOUNDARY ISSUES SO THERE WON'T BE TRAFFIC THROUGH OUR PRIVATE PROPERTY. WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO WORK WITH HIM AND I THINK THE CITIES GOOD TO BE A GOOD PARTNER FOR US AND HE ASSURES US HE WANTS TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IN THE SHREDS OR THE DESIGN OF THE PARK THAT GETS ADDRESSED AS FAR AS A BOUNDARY.

WE DON'T WANT ANY HARD FEELINGS EITHER WAY.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> NEXT WE HAVE DEBBIE HOLLAND. >> THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WELCOME COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON AND COUNCIL MEMBER WOLCOTT.

AS SHE IS BEING PASSED OUT TO YOU.

DON'T READ IT WHILE I'M TALKING BUT YOU MAY WANT TO REFER BACK TO IT. I JUST WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TREES. THE OLD TOWN DISTRICT OF HUTTO IS VERY BLESSED TO HAVE MANY BEAUTIFUL AND VERY OLD TREES INCLUDING LIVE OAK, BURRELL, RADO, ALONG WITH WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED UNDERSTORY TREES. WHAT THESE TREES PROVIDE OLD TOWN IS NOT TO SHADE BUT COOLER TEMPERATURES WHICH RIGHT NOW IN THE HEATWAVE TO ENTER TEXAS SIX EXPERIENCING VERY IMPORTANT.

WE ALSO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF RELATIVELY LIGHT DENSITY, A VERY LARGE STRUCTURE WHICH HOLD IN HEAT, I'M TALKING ABOUT BIG BUILDINGS. THE SHEET THAT WAS PASSED OUT TO YOU WHICH LOOKS LIKE THIS. CAME FROM A HANDBOOK CALLED GROWING TEXAS. COMMUNITY HANDBOOK AND I'M GOING TO QUOTE A LITTLE BIT FROM THE SHEET.

IN 1986 PFLUGERVILLE OUR NEIGHBOR HAD ONLY ONE PARK AND TRAIL EXTENDING TWO CITY BLOCKS USING GRANT FUNDS THE CITY INITIATED THE TRAIL SYSTEM ALONG THE CREEK AND PARKLAND WAS DEDICATED ALONG OTHER TRICKS IN MANY CONNECTIONS ARE IN DEVELOPMENT. HUTTO IS A BIT BEHIND AND JUST IN THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF PARKS AND TRAILS, AND 2000 A SOLID TREE CITY U.S. STATUS, HUTTO HAS THE STATUS AND I DON'T

[00:30:02]

THEY HIRED A FORRESTER, WE DON'T HAVE A FORRESTER OR ARBORIST ON STAFF. EERS AND BEGAN INCREASING THE URBAN FOREST AND REVISE THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS, THE CITY FORMED A TREE BOARD OF CITIZENS WHICH I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND, PUBLIC TREE CARE ORGANIZE AND REVISE THE TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE. ISN'T THAT SOMETHING THAT PFLUGERVILLE HAVE DONE. HOW IS EXPERIENCING THAT HAS SEEN AND CONTINUES TO SEE. WE NEED TO LOOK AT PFLUGERVILLE, TAYLORVILLE AND ROUND ROCK DEVELOPERS AND BUSINESSES ARE STEADILY LOOKING OUTSIDE OF AUSTIN FOR THE INDUSTRY AND COMMERCIAL WE KNOW THAT WE WANT TO BE COMPETITIVE AND WE WANT TO SEE QUALITY AND WHAT THEY BRING BECAUSE THEY COME, THEY BUILD AND THEY LEAVE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM URBAN HEAT ISLAND. I THINK HUTTO WOULD BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE AN URBAN HEAT ISLAND AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE AREAS IN OUR CODES AND DEVELOPMENT ESPECIALLY FOR THE NUMBER OF TREES AND THE SIZE OF THE TREES ON OUR 40-FOOT LOT. WE'RE GOING TO MESS UP SIDEWALKS, DRIVEWAYS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOMES.

THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ADDRESSING THAT NOW BECAUSE THE CITIZENS ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE THAT LATER ON.

>> NEXT WE HAVE DJ MCPHERSON. >> GOOD EVENING, THANKS FOR THE TIME I'M DJ MCPHERSON AND I LIVE ON THE LAKESIDE ESTATES AREA.

AT THE OUTSET I WOULD LIKE TO SAY YES, SIR PARKS AND RECREATION IS DOING A BANG UP JOB PROVIDING PROGRAMS -- CREATION ACTIVITIES ESPECIALLY FOR THE KIDS HERE.

THEY ARE TO BE COMMENDED FOR THAT.

I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT TREES AND WHAT IT'S LIKE AS AN ADULT GOING TO THE HUTTO PARKS. I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT HUTTO WAS NAMED A TREE CITY FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW.

WHEN I GO TO THE HUTTO PARKS IT SEEMS TO ME THAT URBAN FORESTRY WHICH IS A VERY FOCUS ON BEING A TREE CITY IS NOT MUCH OF A PRIORITY IN OUR PARKS. LAST FALL 70 PLUS TREES WERE PLANTED AT CREEKSIDE PARK ALONG WITH THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW IRRIGATION SYSTEM. I WENT THERE YESTERDAY ONLY TO SEE THAT THE RED OAKS IN THE CEDAR ELMS WERE WILTING AND DYING AND SOIL THAT WAS SO DRY IT WAS CRACKED AND THERE IS AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM RIPENS AT THE TREES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM BUT THE TREES THAT WERE PLANTED THERE ARE NOT BEING VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. HUTTO LAKE PARK WHICH IS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND I BEEN GOING TO FOR YEARS.

IN THE NINE YEARS I'VE BEEN GOING THERE I'VE NOT SEEN ANY MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE EDITION OF TREES, LANDSCAPING OR ESPECIALLY NATIVE HABITAT RESTORATION OR BUTTERFLY GARDEN.

WHEN YOU WALK THE PARK YOU ARE WALKING ON FLAT LAND WHERE THE WEEDS HAVE BEEN MOWED AND YOU GET TO A LAKE WHICH IS NICE BUT THERE'S A LOT OF DEBRIS AND OTHER STUFF THAT IS HIDING THE LAKE AND A LOT OF THE PLACES. IT IS NOT A WELL-MAINTAINED LAKE. I DON'T FIND IT VERY PLEASANT TO GO TO HUTTO LAKE PARK AND IT HASN'T CHANGED IN NINE YEARS.

I RETIRED 10 YEARS AGO AS A PARK NATURALIST IN AN ENVIRONMENTAL OUTREACH CORRELATED WITH BROWARD COUNTY FLORIDA.

I SERVED HERE BRIEFLY ON THE PARK BOARDS BUT I BECAME FRUSTRATED WITH TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR MORE TREES, NATURAL HABITAT, WILDFLOWERS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO BEAUTIFY OUR PARKS AND MAKE THEM MORE PLEASANT FOR ADULTS AS WELL AS THE KIDS. AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE I MAINLY WALK. THAT'S WHY PARKS ARE BECOMING IMPORTANT TO ME. FOR YOUR REFERENCE PLEASE SEE THE HANDOUT THERE WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING THE CANOPY FOR HUTTO I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE FROM TEXAS A&M THAT THERE'S ONLY A

[00:35:03]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM.

>> ON THE CREEKSIDE CAN WE GET AN UPDATE THROUGH E-MAIL NEXT WEEK IN TERMS OF WHAT IS OR ISN'T GOING TO.

>> ABSOLUTELY I ASKED STAFF TO RESPOND TO THAT.

>> NEXT WE HAVE CHERYL STEWART. >> CHERYL STEWART.

I WAS A PARTICIPANT AND HAD A CITIZEN UNIVERSITY AND I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW IS EXCEPTIONALLY ORGANIZED AND KATE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB AND WE KNOW THAT SHE IS A REAL DAY JOB IN ADDITION TO PREPARING FOR HUTTO CITIZEN UNIVERSITY BUT YOU CAN TELL SHE WAS VERY COMMITTED AND AM APPRECIATIVE FOR WHAT SHE DID. IN ADDITION DEPRECIATION DECAY I APPRECIATE EVERY DEPARTMENT FOR THE COMMITMENT TO THE RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY CREATED PRESENTATIONS FOR US.

IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS THERE WAS A LOT OF PRIDE IN THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE IN THE CITY. THERE WAS A WILLINGNESS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND STAY LATE SO WE LEFT WITH A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY SPECIFICALLY DO SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS WERE EASIER TO ANSWER THAN OTHERS AND SOME WERE FEELING A LITTLE BIT UNCOMFORTABLE ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS BUT EVERYONE HEARD US OUT AND WHAT WAS MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE AND HELPED US UNDERSTAND, HELP THE CITY TO UNDERSTAND OUR PERSPECTIVE AS CITIZENS ON WHAT THEY DO DAY IN AND DAY OUT. WE ARE CONFIDENT IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE CITY AND WHAT THE NEEDS ARE AND WHAT THE WANTS ARE FROM THE CITY DEPARTMENT WHICH WILL HELP US AS CITIZENS BUT HOPEFULLY MEMBERS OF VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO MY FELLOW GRADUATES I AM FOR YOU TO APPLY IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO ALREADY. I HOPE THE CITY CONTINUES TO SUPPORT EDUCATING THEIR CITIZENS THROUGH HUTTO CITIZEN UNIVERSITY BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> NO OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[8.1. Monthly Capital Improvement Projects Update Presentation (Matt Rector)]

UPDATE PRESENTATION. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL, FOR THE RECTOR CITY ENGINEER.

FIRST MEETING OF THE MONTH, HERE WE GO.

AS USUAL, WE'RE GOING TO JUMP TO THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE ANY KIND OF UPDATES THAT I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION.

ALL THE PROJECTS ARE STILL INCLUDED IN THIS PRESENTATION BUT IF THERE WAS NOTHING WORTH NOTING THEN THEY STAYED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE DIVISIONS AND ONLY THE UPDATE ONES WILL BE OPENLY DISCUSSED ON THE SHOW SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

THE FIRST ONE IS A CR 137 FM 16 I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.

IT'S NOT RED OR GREEN IT IS YELLOW IT'S KIND OF FYI SUBTEXT.IS WORKING TO THE PROCESS TO REVIEW OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY PUT A ROUNDABOUT AT THE INTERSECTION SO IT'S KIND OF IN THEIR COURT AND WE ARE WAITING FOR THEM AND WE HAD A MEETING TODAY. THERE IS A NEW LIAISON AND TXDOT THAT BROUGHT ON THE FEDERAL STUFF THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT SO THERE'S A WHOLE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW TO GET THEM TO AGREE SO OUR CONSULTANT IS WORKING ON GETTING THEM ALL THE INFORMATION NOW AND WE HAD MULTIPLE MEETINGS WITH THEM. WE WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IS IN PROCESS BUT WERE WORKING THROUGH THE HOOPS THERE.

NEXT IS THE LATE SIDE SIDEWALK AND WE DID RECEIVE BIDS AND YOU SEE THE RECOMMENDATION FOR CONTRACT ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.

THAT'LL BE WHAT'S UP NEXT, YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A LOT OF GREEN SO WERE MOVING AHEAD OF WHAT WE PROJECTED.

ONCE WE AWARD THE CONTRACT WILL GET THINGS ROLLING AND GET THAT AFTER CONSTRUCTION. ONE THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT, YOU SEE HERE ON THE BUDGET SL SLIDE, THE BUDGET REMAINED WE HAD $873,192 LEFT IN THE BUDGET. THERE ARE TWO ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT. THEY WILL NOT EAT UP THIS ENTIRE AMOUNT BUT JUST FOR CLARITY IN THE 23 CIP BUDGET WE HAD

[00:40:01]

WHEN WE STARTED LAYING OUT HOW WE WANTED TO APPROACH THE PROJECT WE WERE VERY CLEAR WITH THE CONSULTANT THAT WE WANTED TO STICK WITHIN THE BUDGET. THIS HAD TO INCLUDE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. WHEN WE SUBTRACTED OUT THE DESIGN PORTION WE SAID HERE'S HER BALLPARK ON WHERE WE WANT TO BE FOR CONSTRUCTION. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO EAT UP THE VAST MAJORITY OF 975,000 AS YOU WILL SEE TONIGHT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSTRUCTION BIDS CAME IN BELOW WHAT WE WERE ESTIMATING WHICH IS A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE.

THERE WILL BE SOME LEFT OVER. I BELIEVE, I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER THAT I BELIEVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $600,000 WHICH WERE RECOMMENDING TONIGHT AND WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE DESIGN CONTRACT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO PUBLIC OUTREACH AND MAKE SURE WERE TALKING TO THE RESIDENCE AND LETTING THEM KNOW BEFORE IT'S HAPPENING. IT WON'T EAT UP THE ENTIRE $873,000 BUT THAT'S WHY THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME LEFT OVER.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT SO YOU GUYS ARE ALL TRACKING THAT WE ARE UNDER BUDGET WILL HAVE A LITTLE LEFT OVER AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TO DO ANOTHER PROJECT NECESSARILY BUT THAT'S HOW WERE

PROGRESSING FORWARD ON THAT ONE. >> CR 132 OVERPASS.

THERE IS GREEN AND YELLOW ON THIS ONE YOU CAN SEE WERE PROGRESSING AND MOVING FORWARD. ALL THE FIELDWORK IS HAPPENING WE HAVE PEOPLE DOING GEOTECH AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND GETTING SURVEYED ON THE GROUND. WE HAD A MEETING WITH GARVER.

I THINK IT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO TO LOOK AT SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES.

ORIGINALLY THIS WAS PRESENTED THAT WERE DOING A JOB HANDLE.

I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO TELL THEM DON'T PUT US IN A BOX.

IF THAT'S THE BEST ANSWER, FIND SYLVIA BUT IF IT'S NOT THE BEST ANSWER GIVE US WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BEST ANSWER IS.

BECAUSE OF THAT THEY WENT AND EVALUATED A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT THEY HAD DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND ALL THE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES. SO WE MET WITH THEM TWO WEEKS AGO AND WE CHOSE OUR TOP THREE PICKS.

AND WE SAID THIS ONE IS NUMBER ONE, THIS IS NUMBER TWO AND NOW WE ARE HAVING THEM REFINE THOSE AND AGAIN, TO SEE WHAT THAT REALLY LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO DRAW LINES ON A PIECE OF PAPER BUT WHEN YOU TAKEN THE 3D ELEMENTS AND ALL THE OTHER INTRICACIES OF THE PROJECT WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST OPTION FOR US. WE ACTUALLY SHARE THEIR PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES WITH TXDOT TODAY SO THERE IN THE LOOP AND WHAT WERE WANTING TO DO OVER 79 ON THE RAILROAD.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH THE ALTERNATIVE THAT WE LIKE THE MOST AS STAFF TXDOT STAFF ALSO LIKE THE MOST SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE ALIGNMENT THERE. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS. THE NEXT ONE IS LIVE OAK AND A LOT OF GREEN ON THIS ONE. THE SURVEY IS COMPLETE, UTILITY CORONATION PROGRESS. ONCE WE GET ALL THE UTILITY COORDINATION GOING THE NEXT IS THE PLAN REVISION.

YOU CAN SEE BECAUSE REMOVING THIS ALONG FASTER THE SCHEDULE HAS ACTUALLY SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT TO THE LEFT BY ONE QUARTER SO I'M DOING EVERYTHING I CAN TO PUSH THIS ALONG BUT I WANTED TO SHARE WE ARE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE ON THIS ONE.

ED SMIT, THIS ONE WAS AWARDED BACK IN MARCH OR APRIL AND WE GOT A STAFF REPORT, STAFF REVIEWED THE DRAFT REPORT THAT WAS PROVIDED UNDER PROVIDED BY COVERED AND WE PROVIDED COMMENTS AND THEY ADDRESSED ALL HER COMMENTS AND WE SHOULD HAVE A FINAL REPORT WITH THE RECOMMENDATION BY THE END OF THIS MONTH. CR 199.

THIS ONLY DID A GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME BASE ISSUES IS NOT DO A QUICK LITTLE OVERLAY AND MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY. WE THOUGHT THERE WAS SOME BASE ISSUES THAT WE DID A GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS IN THE DRAFT REPORT BACK LAST WEEK. WE ARE REVIEWING THAT RIGHT NOW AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A HIGH-LEVEL SUMMARY AKIN TO THE DRAFT REPORT, DATED SOME BORING AND CORINE ON THE STRETCH AND

[00:45:07]

SOME OF THE BORINGS THEY FOUND WE HAVE LESS THAN AN INCH OF ASPHALT ON THE PARTICULAR LOCATION.

IN SOME OF THE AREAS WE HAVE 2 INCHES.

SOME OF THE AREAS WE HAVE LESS THAN 5 INCHES OF BASE MATERIAL IN SOME AREAS WE HAVE SIX THAT MAY NOT MEAN A WHOLE LOT BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE GEOTECHNICAL TOOL THERE RECOMMENDING TO AN HALF INCHES OF ASPHALT AND AT LEAST 16 INCHS OF BASE MATERIAL. IN ORDER TO MAKE THE ROAD SURVIVED THE TRAFFIC THAT WERE PUTTING ON IT.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS AN UPDATE, WE ARE WORKING ON THAT ONE WERE JUST DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE WE PUT A

PROJECT TOGETHER. >> HOW OLD IS THAT ROW? DO YOU KNOW? IT'S OKAY IF YOU DON'T KNOW.

I'M JUST CURIOUS. >> I CANNOT BEGIN TO GUESS.

>> HOW LONG IT SURVIVED AT THE COMMISSION.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE LAST TIME PAVEMENT WAS PUT DOWN ON THE ROAD BUT I'M ASSUMING PROBABLY NOT DONE BY THE CITY.

>> ARE WE GOING TO REACH OUT WITH THE COUNTY AND SEE A MUCH COST PARTICIPATION FOR REQUIRES A FULL REBUILD AS A COUNTY ROAD.

>> WE CAN DO THAT, YES. WE CAN ASK THE QUESTION.

>> YOU TRYING TO BE NICE RIGHT NOW.

>> THE OTHER PROBLEM IS JUST PLAYING DEVILS ADVOCATE, THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SAY SINCE WE HAVE A PROJECT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE PROJECT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT WE THE ANNEXED THE ROAD SO NOW IT'S HER PROBLEM.

>> I FIGURE THAT WAS THE CASE. >> THE NEXT PROJECT IS ACTUALLY ONLY ON HERE BECAUSE WERE ADDING IT TO THE CIP.

NOT THAT NOTHING HAS HAPPENED BUT THE IN RE FARMS INTERSECTION IS WHAT WERE CALLING IT NOW. IN THE PAST IS BEEN CALLED IN RE FARMS ARCHWAY AND IT'S BEEN CALLED INNOVATION INTERSECTION OF IMPROVEMENT IT'S BEEN CALLED THE CANOPENER PROJECT IT'S BEEN CALLED A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROJECT NAMES.

TRY TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT I GAVE IT A TITLE AND WE ADDED IT TO THE CIP AND THERE IS AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT AND CONSENT TO UPDATE THE DESIGN CONTRACT BECAUSE WE HIRED A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND WHAT WE'VE GIVEN THEM THE DIRECTION TO MAKE ENGINEERING IMPROVEMENTS SO THERE ADDING THAT TO THE CONTRACT BUT I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION THIS IS A FULL-FLEDGED CIP PROJECT. ELEVATED STORAGE TANKS THIS IS AWARDED IN THE FEBRUARY TIMEFRAME AND WE REVIEWED THE FINAL REPORT AND THEY'VE COME UP WITH SEVERAL SITE SELECTIONS.

WHICH ONE WHETHER THE COTTONWOOD OR THE LUMBER LOOP THAT WILL GET HASHED OUT IN THE CIP PROJECT IN THE UPCOMING CYCLE.

HE JUST DIDN'T WANT THIS TO FALL COMPLETELY OFF THE RADAR.

CAN YOU GO BACK ON THAT ONE? THE LOCATION FOR THIS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE IDENTIFY THE AREA AND THE AMOUNT OF LAND BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S IN LAND EARLY ON SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T SELL IT AND HAVE TO GO BY SOMETHING ELSE OR SOMETHING.

I KNOW WORKING TO PUSH OFF WHEN WE WILL BUILD IT BUT I WOULD LIKE AS SOME POINT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WHEN WE WENT WITH TXDOT OPTION 10 WERE OPTION NINE IN THE OVERPASS PROJECT.

WE NEED A DECISION OF WHERE WE CAN PUT IT WE WE'RE GOING TO BUILD AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT SO WE CAN FEED THAT BACK TO THE EDC BOARD. ONCE WE GET THE FINAL REPORT WE REVIEWED AND GIVEN THEM FEEDBACK ARE SUPPOSED TO GIVE US A FINAL MEMORANDUM. WE WILL PRESENT THAT TO THE CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE EACH OF THOSE YOU CAN SEE CARL STERN, COTTONWOOD AND LIMERICK IN THE UPPER RIGHT.

WE HAD THEM GO LOOK AT ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS IN ALL THE LAND OWNERSHIPS THAT WE KNOW WHO'S THERE IS THE LEAST LIKELY TO WORK WITH THE CITY AND WHO'S THE MOST LIKELY TO WORK WITH THE CITY AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS. WE LOOKED ALL OF THAT IN PUBLIC WORKS IN DEVELOPING SERVICES SO WE ALL MET WITH THE CONSULTANT AND ALL THE ISSUES THAT WE COULD SEE COMING BASED ON DIFFERENT

[00:50:02]

IN THE CARL STERN LOCATION IF THAT'S WHAT WE CHOOSE TO DO FIRST. THERE'S VERY FEW OPTIONS AS FAR AS CITY-OWNED LAND. MAYBE THE ONE ON THE LUMBER SIDE WE HAD THEM INCLUDE THE LIEN OWNED BY THE CITY AND COTTONWOOD THERE IS NO LAND OWNED BY THE CITY EITHER.

THOSE TWO ON THE SOUTH WILL REQUIRE NEGOTIATION AND LAND ACQUISITION. SOUTH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT REBATE STUDY, SAY THAT THREE TIMES FAST.

WE KEEP TELLING YOU IT IS COMING BUT WE GOT A DRAFT PERMIT FROM TCA KEO. WE'VE REVIEWED IT AND SENT COMMENTS TO TC Q TODAY. SO WE SHOULD HAVE THE FINAL DRAFT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, NOT THE FINAL DRAFT BUT THE FINAL PERMIT. THERE WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF MINOR TWEAKS THAT THEY WANTED US TO MAKE, PART OF IT IS BECAUSE THE PAA THEY WERE PUTTING IN, PEARSALL TO PUMPS USING TO TREAT THE WATER, THEY WANTED EXTRA TESTING AND THAT KIND OF STUFF IN THEIR. THEY WERE RIDING INTO OUR PERMIT AND WE SENT IT BACK TO THEM. I SAY BY THE END OF THE MONTH BUT REALLY PROBABLY IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.

MEGA SITE WASTEWATER LINES. GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS.

WE FINALLY HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS OF ENTRY.

SO WE CAN ACTUALLY GO OUT THERE AND DO THE SURVEYS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

PLUS THE GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS BECAUSE IT TOOK THE RIGHT OF ENTRY EVERYTHING SLID TO THE RIGHT AND YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE TIMELINES, BIDDING IS A LATER CONSTRUCTION STRICTER QUARTER

LATER. >> ARE THESE THE LINES THAT WASTEWATER FOLLOW EAST-WEST SPINE ROAD?

>> NO, THESE ARE ON COUNTY ROAD 132.

SO THE LINES YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WERE ADDED TO THE SPINE PROJECT AND THESE WERE A SEPARATE PROJECT THAT WAS EARLY DONE BACK IN LATE 2022 WHEN WE STARTED THIS ONE.

IT WAS BASICALLY A LIFT STATION ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE BASICALLY AND GET US A 132, 33, 49 THAT'S GOING TO CATCH THE MEGA SITE FLOWS IN PUBLIC TO THE WEST AND THEN A GRAVITY LINE ONCE YOU GET HALFWAY DOWN 132 THE CANARIES THE FLOW IN THE CENTRAL PLANT.

ONCE WE DO THE SOUTHEAST LOOP WASTEWATER INTERCEPTOR IS GOING TO FOLLOW THE LOOP THAT THE COUNTY IS DOING THE LIFT STATION WOULD COME OFF-LINE AND EVERYTHING WOULD FLOW THROUGH

THE NEW DOWN TO THE SOUTH PLANT. >> THANK YOU SPEAKING OF SOUTHEAST LOOP, HERE WE GO. WE HAVE THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT. WE PROVIDED COMMENTS AND CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THAT CONSULTANT.

THE NEXT THING IS TO FINALIZE THE REPORT AND GIVE US THE ULTIMATE ROUTE STUDY AND MOVE ON WITH THE 30% DESIGN.

30% DESIGN IS SUPPOSED TO BE TWO WEST JUST BEFORE THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR. THAT IS ALL THE PROJECTS FOR

UPDATES. >> MATT, DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES ON THE 137-1616 ROUNDABOUT? IS THAT PROJECT STILL GOING ON?

>> MY BAD. >> THAT'S A ONE TEXTILE IS STILL REVIEWING 1616 IS THE ROAD AND THE ORIGINAL RESPONSE WE DON'T THINK WE WANT AROUND ABOUT SO WE HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM AND THEY SAID LET US TALK TO AUSTIN BASICALLY TO THE DISTRICT SO THEY WENT BACK TO AUSTIN AND SAID WE NEED MORE INFORMATION AND GARVER SENT THEM THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

>> I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK THROUGH SOME OF THE ONES I DID NOT PRESENT BECAUSE YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS POPPING UP IN THEIR AND I KNOW THAT EXCITES EVERYBODY SEEING A BIG DIRT PILE SOMEWHERE, A TRENCH CUT IN THE

[00:55:05]

FOR THIS EVENING. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM

COUNCIL? >> I DO HAVE A COUPLE.

T4 SPEAKING TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS QUESTION.

TEXTILE WAS NOT INITIALLY IN FAVOR OF THE ROUNDABOUT?

>> CORRECT. >> I VOTED FOR THAT BUT IN THE FEEDBACK I'M GETTING FROM THE PUBLIC IF OUR STAFF FEELS LIKE THAT'S THE BEST ROUTE THEY ARE NOT TRUSTING US AS THE CITY THERE WERE ACTUALLY DOING THE RIGHT THING BY PUTTING THE ROUNDABOUT IN THERE. PRIMARILY THE FEEDBACK IS BECAUSE WE DID SUCH A POOR JOB WITH THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO PIVOT AND EDUCATE PEOPLE AND WHY THIS TIME IT'LL BE BETTER AND DIFFERENT.

WE HAVE NEW STAFF AND THE PUBLIC THINKS IT'S A BAD IDEA AND TEXTILE IS ON THE FENCING GIVE US MORE INFORMATION, MAYBE IT'S A BAD IDEA BUT I THROW THAT OUT THERE ON THE T4.

>> WHITEST TEXTILE THINK IT'S ABOUT IDEA?

>> THEY ARE SCARED OF THE UNKNOWN.

>> THAT IS PART OF IT. THEY ARE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT PUTTING ROUNDABOUTS ON OUR ROADS AND WHAT THEY TOLD US TODAY THAT BECAUSE ROUNDABOUTS ARE BECOMING MORE PREVALENT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY THAT IS KIND OF EVERYBODY'S GO TO ALTERNATIVE NOW. BEFORE THEY OKAY IS PUTTING THE ROUNDABOUT ON THE ROAD JUST BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING, THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S THE BEST ALTERNATIVE

FOR THEIR NETWORK. >> WAS HER SUGGESTION JUST

LIGHTS? >> THE ALTERNATIVE WAS YES NOT TO PUT IN JUST A SIGNAL WHICH IS ALREADY THERE BUT TO WIDEN 137, WIDENED 1616 AND PUT IN MULTIPLE LANES, MULTIPLE TURN LANES INTO

VERY BIG ROBUST TRAFFIC SIGNAL. >> WHICH WOULD COST MORE.

>> THE BIG SIGNAL. NOT TO MENTION WE WOULD HAVE TO ACQUIRE MORE RIGHT AWAY ANYHOW PEOPLE BUILDING OVER THERE SO NOW ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW TO ADJUST THEIR PLANS.

>> SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. >> THAT WAS THERE SUGGESTED PUTTING THE BIGGER SIGNAL WITH MULTIPLE TURN LANES AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF AND I PUSHED BACK THAT'S GOING TO COST THE CITY EXTRA MONEY IS TEXT NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THAT AND THEY SAID WE

DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY. >> I THINK THEY NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THEY STUDY, WE PROVIDED IT AND IF THEY DID NOT APPROVE IT TELLS YOU THERE OKAY IS JUST AN OVERSIGHT.

THAT IS MORE THAN FINE WHEN I HAVE BOARDS COME TO ME I ASKED FOR MORE DATA AND NOT DOES NOT MEAN THE ANSWER IS NO I JUST WANT YOUR DATA. THAT'S ALL THAT'S HAPPENED HERE.

>> THANK YOU, SIR, T5 ON THE SIDEWALKS.

THANK YOU THAT THERE ON TIME AND ON BUDGET, YOU DON'T HEAR THAT TOO OFTEN SO IT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED WHEN THE PROJECT IS GOING SMOOTH. T6 THANK YOU FOR THE OUTSIDE APPROACH THEY SEEM TO GO WITH WHATEVER IS DONE IN REALITY MAY NOT BE THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE WERE THE MOST FORWARD THINKING

AND THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. >> I MADE A NOTE.

T13 IN SOME SPOTS AND I WANT TO COMMUNICATE TO PEOPLE WE BUILT THE ROAD, SOMEONE MANY YEARS AGO BUILT IT ON A THAT WE WOULD NOT

USE AS A BASE AT THIS POINT. >> 214 HE SHARED THE FEEDBACK FROM HIM REFORMS ON THE PROJECT. DO YOU RECEIVE THAT AT ALL?

>> I'M NOT SURE. >> THE AND REFORMS.

>> THE CAN OPENER. >> IN GENERAL THEY LIKE THE IDEA BUT THE PEOPLE ARE VERY COST-CONSCIOUS.

WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE BECAUSE THIS COULD TAKE YEARS TO DO AND THEY FEEL LIKE THERE IS MORE IMPORTANT PROJECTS IN THE CITY THAT SHOULD TAKE UP MONEY. I WILL SEND YOU AN E-MAIL THAT WAS FORWARDED BUT THE PRESIDENT IS ON AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A STOP SIGN, A COUPLE OF INTERSECTIONS THAT I FORGOT WHAT ELSE WAS IN THERE. BUT SHORT-TERM SEE IF THAT FIXES THE ISSUE IN MOST OF THEIR MINDS BEFORE THE CITY SPENDS MILLIONS, I THINK THAT THEY THINK IT NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED AND READY SINCE WE EARLY STARTED ON THE PATH AND IN THE REALM OF THINGS THEY DON'T SEE AHEAD OF ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS IN THE CITY THAT THEY

[01:00:02]

SHOULD BE BUMPED UP. >> I WILL FORWARD THAT TO YOU TOMORROW W12 WE DID THAT WITH THE TANK.

>> WHICH PROJECT IS ACM INVOLVED IN?

>> ACM THAT IS A WATER THING? >> ACM IS WITH THC.

>> YOU MIGHT CHECK WITH THEM AND NOT RETURNING CALLS THAT THEY OWE MONEY TO AN INVENTOR TOOK LEGAL ACTION AND SHUT THE VENDOR DOWN IF THEY DON'T GET LEGAL ACTION.

THEY CALLED ME AND SAID CAN THEY DO SOMETHING AND WE SAID WERE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE PROJECTS TONIGHT.

THE LAST ONE WW SEVEN THE WASTEWATER LINE RIGHTS OF ISSUE.

WILL IT MAKE SENSE AND FUTURE IF WE HAVE AN ISSUE MOST OF US GOING TO HER OWN PROPERTY. I KNOW YOU STILL HAVE, NOT THE RESTAGE BUT YOU HAVE TO CALL THE SURVEYOR BACK OUT.

IF THE VAST MAJORITY IS RUNNING FOR PROPERTY WHEN IT MAKES SENSE IN THE FUTURE TO SURVEY WHAT WE CAN AND START THE ENGINEERING ON THAT KNOWING THAT THE LAST LEG. THINKING OF WAYS OUTSIDE OF THE BOX TO NOT SLOW THE PROJECT D DOWN.

BUT THEY HAVE TO COME BACK AGAIN.

>> PRE-MOBILIZED AND THAT WOULD COST MONEY BUT A MONTH OR QUARTER DELAY IS PROBABLY GOING TO COST MORE THAN WHATEVER THE

SURVEYOR RE-MOBILIZING. >> JUST SO YOU GUYS ARE CLEAR I DID HAVE THEM GO AHEAD ON THE EAST SIDE WITH THE LIFT STATION IS. 60% DESIGNED THAT 30 DONE.

THE PROBLEM ON THE WEST SIDE WHICH IS THE DOWNHILL SIDE WHERE WE'RE TYING INTO EVERYTHING WE CANNOT GET IN THERE THE SURVEY THAT. WE REDESIGN WASTEWATER FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERMINOLOGY THAT STAFF ROLES DOWNHILL AND YOU NEED TO START ON THE LOW SIDE AND KNOW WHAT YOUR TIME POINT IS SEE YOU CAN TIE EVERYTHING UP. THAT'S ON THE EAST SIDE WITH THE PLANS FOR THE 60%. WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO THAT BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO AWARD AND PUSH THE LIFT STATION THROUGH TO 100%. THE LEFT SIDE WILL STILL HOLD US UP. I GET YOUR POINT I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO PUSH WHERE WE COULD.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATES AND KEEPING ON EVERYBODY.

I WAS HEARING FROM THE CFO YOU DON'T JUST WALK IN TO SPEND MONEY OR WALK IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT DONE FASTER, SPEND LESS AND GET STUFF DONE.

>> ALTHOUGH SHE DOES KEEP TELLING ME I NEED TO SPEND MORE

AND MORE AND MORE. >> WHAT?

>> THANKS. >> ONE QUESTION WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT OPTION NINE FOR THE COUNTY ROAD OVERPASS.

IS NOT VERY SIMILAR IF YOU TRY TO GET A VISUALIZATION OF WHAT SOMETHING EXISTS TODAY LIKE O'CONNOR EXIT OFF OF 45 TODAY.

>> I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE. >> I THINK IT MIGHT BE.

>> ANYTHING ELSE? >> MAYOR WE DO GET GOLD INTO A FINAL DECISION AND WILL BE PRESENTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO PULL UP OTHER SAMPLES THAT MIGHT BE SIMILAR, AT LEAST ENOUGH 3D WAS SOMETHING THERE FAMILIAR WITH.

THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL THEY MET THE REQUIREMENTS ABOUT THE CREATION OF THIS.

THAT WAS ONE THING STAFF WAS WORKING WITH THEM ON THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS THERE. IN THE RESOLUTION REQUIRES YOU TO MAKE FINDINGS THAT THE PID, LET ME PULL UP THE RESOLUTION.

ONCE WE ENTER INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AND CREATE THE PID THERE IS A THREE YEAR TIME COMMITMENT THAT THEY START CONSTRUCTION AND IF THEY DON'T THEN UNDER STATE LAW THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE THE ONES THAT DISSOLVE THE PID NOT THE CITY.

THE REASON WHY WE PUT THE DOES ALLUSION PETITION IN ESCROW AND HOLD IT WITH THE CITY SECRETARY. IF THEY DON'T MEET THE PID COMMITMENT TO START CONSTRUCTION THEN WE WILL BRING THAT TO COUNCIL TO DISSOLVE THE PID AND TAKE IT OUT OF ESCROW AND HAVE THEM CONSIDER WHETHER THEY WANT TO DISSOLVE THE PID.

WE WILL OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:17 P.M. IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK?

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS MY NAME IS JIM SO BONUS WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES I LEAD A TEAM OF THE PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO THE CITY. TWO ITEMS 9.4, 9.5 RELATE TO THE ISSUANCE OF HUTTO PID 315 IMPROVEMENT AREA THE BONDS WERE MARKETED FOR THE IMPROVEMENT AREA, THEY ARE ON THE AGENDA TO BE ISSUED AND APPROVED ON 9.5 AND 9.4 IS A FINAL ASSESSMENT PLAN THAT MATCHES THE ACTUAL BOND PRICING.

THERE HAS BEEN AN INITIAL DRAFT PRESENTED IN THIS IS THE ASSESSMENT LEVEL THAT SUPPORTS THE RECEIVER BONDS.

THIS PRESENTATION I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU SUMMARIZES THE BOND PRICING AND WILL INDICATE THE SUMMARY OF THE ASSESSMENT LEVEL THAT IS PUT IN PLACE. LET ME START BY SAYING THIS IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL BOND PRICING, THE MARKET HAS MOVED AGAINST US AND MEALS HAVE BEEN INCREASING OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR AND THE SUMMER IN THE FED DID NOT MOVE INTEREST RATES THIS MONTH BUT INDICATED IT WAS A PAUSE IN THE CONSENSUS OF THE WALL STREET ECONOMIST THAT RATES WILL CONTINUE TO GO UP IN THE SAME TIME SIGNIFICANT WITHDRAWALS FROM HIGH-YIELD FUNDS.

THAT BEING SAID FMS UNDERWRITER HAD THE BONDS TODAY AND VERY SUCCESSFUL MARKETING THEY HAD ORDERS FROM FULL BOND ISSUE FROM THE THREE BIGGEST HIGH-YIELD BOND PURCHASERS IN THE COUNTRY, GOLDMAN SACHS HIGH-YIELD AND FRANKLIN TEMPLETON.

WHEN WE DISCUSSED IT WITH THEM WHY WERE THEY INTERESTED IN WHY WERE THEY PRICED APPROPRIATELY. THEY SAID FMS HAS BROUGHT REPRESENTATIVES TO VISIT HUTTO THEY TRACK TO GO VERY CLOSELY AND PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED BONDS IN THE VERY PLEASED WITH THE DIRECTION STRATEGICALLY AND FINANCIALLY THE COUNCIL AND STAFF OF DONE AND THEY'RE VERY BULLISH ON THE COMMUNITY.

A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT MORE INFORMATION SOME BONDS AND PRICING THE TABLE THAT YOU SEE WE HAVE THE BID TO UNDERWRITE THESE WERE SOLD IN THREE TERM BONDS RANGING IN PRICE FROM 4.5 TO 5.625%. BONDS AND TERM BONDS WILL HAVE AN MATERIALIZATION IN THE YIELD CURVE INCREASES FROM RATES INCREASE OVER TIME AND IS A 35 YEAR BONDS AND WHAT THEY DID

[01:20:02]

THIS TABLE THREE PREVIOUS TRANSACTIONS THAT WE'VE DONE HERE IN HUTTO AND FOR TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS AREA TO SEE THE NAMES OF THE PROJECTS IN THE COMMUNITIES OF THE BONDS IN THE REAL KEY THING IS A SECOND COLUMN TO THE RIGHT IN THE SECOND COLUMN TO THE RIGHT SAYS WHAT WAS THE SPREAD FROM THE MMD INDEX FROM THE TIME THOSE BONDS WERE ISSUED AND THE PRICE THE BONDS ARE SOLD OUT. OUR BOND HAS A 35 YEAR MATURITY IN THE END OF TODAY'S DATE THE MMD INDEX FOR 35 YEARS AAA RATED BOND WITH 3.45%. AND THE PRICE FOR THE BOND WAS 5.65% AND IT CAME TO A SPREAD OF 211.

AND HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO THE PRICES WE SOLD PREVIOUSLY, PICK THREE BOND ISSUES OUT AND THEY RANGE FROM 200 BASIS POINTS, 2% TO 300 BASIS POINTS. YOU COULD SEE ITS FAR LOWER THAN THE SIGNIFICANT OTHER BONDS NOT AS WELL AS COTTONWOOD CREEK AND WHEN WE DID THAT TRANSACTION WERE TALKING ABOUT SEPTEMBER OF 21 AND THE WAY I REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 21 WAS A GOOD TIME RATES AT ALL TIME LOW, THE ECONOMY IS DOING WELL WE HIT JANUARY LIFE CHANGE IN RATES OF CONTINUE TO GO UP AND ISSUED IN THE PROJECT ITSELF. THERE MAY NOT BE A PERFECT TIME IF THERE'S A GOOD TIME AND THEY CAUGHT THAT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RATE THAT THEY SOLD THAT THE MMD AT THAT TIME WAS 1.68 SO THEY SOLD 200 BASIS POINT.

ONE THING THAT WORKS IN OUR ADVANTAGE THAT WAS A 30 YEAR MATURITY AND 35 YEAR MATURITY, ONE TREND THAT YOU SEE AS MATURITIES GO LONGER AND LONGER THAT RATE GOES UP.

THIS TRANSACTION ON THE VERY BEST DEAL THAT WE SOLD AT THE VERY BEST TIME THAT WAS FIVE YEARS SHORTER 11 BASIS POINTS WHY DON'T YOU LOOK AT THE DEALS THAT WERE SOLD HIGH-PROFILE SOLD IN TEXAS AND YOU CAN SEE DRIPPING SPRINGS, KYLE MANOR ARE TRANSACTION IS VERY FAVORABLY TO THEM AND THOSE WERE 30 YEAR MATURITIES, NOT 35 AND THAT TRANSACTION WAS PRICED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. TODAY WHEN WE ENTERED THE MARKET TO GIVE YOU A FEEL IT WAS AN INTERESTING MORNING.

AND CALL ME WHEN I WAS HAVING BREAKFAST WITH MY CHILDREN AND CAUGHT ME AND SHE SAID WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND WE HAD BEEN CONTACTED THERE WAS A NUMBER OF OPTIMISTIC BETTER-THAN-EXPECTED ECONOMIC NEWS WHICH METHOD EXPECTED THE MARKETED TRADE-OFF IMMEDIATELY. WITH AND DIRECTION WE CONTACTED THE UNDERWRITER AND ASKED THEM TO GO TO THEIR MARKET AT 8:00 O'CLOCK EARLY IN THE MORNING AND THEY PLEADED THE MARKET BY NINE AND WE HAD A BIT TO OFFER AT 930 AND WE MOVED UP THE PRICING TO GIVE YOU A FEEL. WE LIVE AND DIE BY LITERAL NUMBERS. THE TOTAL MOVEMENT WAS FIVE BASIS POINTS FROM THE MORNING TO THE AFTERNOON.

WE CAUGHT AT THE BEGINNING. IN SUMMARY TALKING TO THE UNDERWRITER AND GETTING INPUT THE FUNDS ARE VERY BULLISH VERY POSITIVE ABOUT THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT YOU PUT IN PLACE FOR THE FINANCIAL DIRECTION AND THEY LIKE THIS PROJECT AND IT'S BEEN A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT AND THEY WERE INTERESTED IN PHASE I AND PHASE II AND WHEN THE BONDS PRICED I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A FLAVOR WE CAN. OTHER DEALS THAT ARE BEING DONE BOTH HERE IN TEXAS IN THE UNITED STATES ONE SET OF BEEN DONE

[01:25:02]

WHAT DID IT MEAN FOR THEM LOWER BOND YIELD MEANS THEY HAVE A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE AND THEY PARTICIPATED.

THEY APPROVED AND GAVE A VERBAL COMMITMENT TO US TO PRESENT THIS. SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE CITY FOR THIS PROJECT? PEOPLE, THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO KNOW WHY THE CITY IS INVOLVED IN A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT THE PHASE TWO LOAN HAS 411 HOMES THAT ARE ESTIMATED HUNDRED VALUE OF 178 MILLION IN OUR CURRENT AD VALOREM TAX RATE IS ABOUT $750,000 ANNUALLY FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE GOAL IS TO PRODUCE AD VALOREM AND QUALITY HOUSING AND ULTIMATELY PEOPLE WILL BE INVOLVED AND DO SALES TAX.

IT'S A POSITIVE PROJECT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

THIS IS THE SOURCE AND USE OF THE PROJECT.

AGAIN $9,783,000 OF BONDS WERE SOLD THERE WAS AN UNDERWRITERS DISCOUNT INVOLVED FOR SELLING THE BONDS GENERATING BOND PROCEEDS OF 9.4 MILLION AFTER PAIN THE DEBT SERVICE RESERVE COST ISSUANCE AND ADMINISTRATION OF 8,145,000 IN A PROJECT FUND.

THE TOTAL ELIGIBLE PUBLIC ASSETS TOTALED 12,161,000 ABOUT 4 MILLION OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE PAID BY DEVELOPERS NOT ALL THE COST OF THE PUBLIC ELIGIBLE IMPROVEMENTS IN TWO THIRDS BEING PAID AND WILL BE ASSESSED ONE THIRD PAID BY THE DEVELOPER THE 35 YEAR TRANSACTION WILL HAVE A TOTAL PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST OF 22.4 MILLION AND AVERAGE OF ABOUT 640,000 IF ITEM FOUR, 9.49.5 ARE APPROVED THE BOND EXECUTED THE BOND COUNCIL WILL SUBMIT THEM TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT TAKING PLACE ON A FAST TRACK FOR JULY 27 CLOSING.

VERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT FROM PRICING IN WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO THE HOMEOWNERS. THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE ASSESSMENT PLAN THAT YOU WOULD HAVE FOR 9.4 THIS SHOWS TAX EQUIVALENT BASIS OF THE ASSESSMENT AND 40.9 CENTS, THE TARGET WAS TO COME IN AT 41 CENTS BASED ON THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND YOU WILL SEE THE ANNUAL FIXED ASSESSMENT WILL BE ADDED TO THE AD VALOREM TAX BASED ON THE CURRENT TAX RATE THE PEOPLE HAVE AND WILL PAY ON ANNUAL BASIS GOING FORWARD AND ULTIMATELY THE TOTAL OVERLAPPING BASED ON CURRENT TAX RATES IS ABOUT $2.75 PRETTY COMPETITIVE RATE FROM CENTRAL TEXAS AREA.

THE KEY NUMBERS ARE FROM THE ASSESSMENT PLAN IN THE SECOND LINE FROM THE BOTTOM THOSE ARE THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ASSESSMENTS W PLACED ON EACH HOMEOWNER AND WILL BE PAID AS PART OF THE PID ASSESSMENT PROCESS.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S HARD FOR ME TO READ I APOLOGIZE OF THE SMALL. THIS IS THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST IN RETRACING ALONG WITH ESTIMATED ASSESSMENT LEVY AND THAT TAKES PLACE YOU CAN SEE ON THE FAR RIGHT WERE PARTICIPATING COMBINED BASIS SLIGHTLY UNDER THE 41-CENT TARGET LIST THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT APPROVES THE LINE THAT I PUT IN THERE IS ONE THING I WOULD POINT OUT IS ALSO IMPORTANT I DID NOT DO THE RESEARCH AND I APOLOGIZE AN EIGHT YEAR THE MARKET TO FLUCTUATE IN RIGHT NOW AND RIGHT NOW WERE WORKING WITH A NUMBER OF MY CLIENTS YOU HAVE SOLD BONDS YEARS AGO AND THE TIME THEY REACH THEIR CALL DATE THE MARKET IN INTEREST RATES ARE APPROPRIATE WE CAN REFUND THOSE IN THE NATURE OF THIS PROJECT IN MY EXPECTATION WHEN IT'S FULLY BUILT OUT AND I'LL USE THE EXAMPLE I'M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW IT IS PHASE TWO OF HER PROJECT 237 HOMES AND ASSESSMENTS WERE PUT IN PLACE SEVEN YEARS AGO IN THE PROCESS OF REFUNDING THAT WE WENT FROM BARE DIRT THAT WILL SELL HOMES TO A PROJECT THAT IS COMPLETELY BUILT OUT WITH 100% ASSESSMENTS AND COLLECTIONS PROVE WE APPLIED AND RECEIVED INVESTMENT GRADE RATING AND WERE APPLYING FOR AA BOND INSURANCE IN RESULTS ARE BASED ON THE PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES AND THEY ARE REDUCED FOR THE HOMEOWNERS BY ABOUT 23%.

[01:30:06]

>> YOUR SAYING IT SHOULD BE HALF BECAUSE WE MADE IT SO EASY FOR

YOU. >> IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

>> JIM. >> BEFORE CLARK SPEAKS WE ASKED ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC TO COME UP WITH A COMMENT.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY DOES. >> WE STARTED TWO.

IS ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WANTS TO COME UP.

>> TO BE CLOSE TO PUBLIC HEA HEARING.

>> NOW OR WHEN WERE DONE. >> I WOULD CLOSE IT NOW.

THESE ARE PRESENTATIONS. >> I WOULD CLOSE A PUBLIC

HEARING AT 8:31 P.M. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD, PLEASURE TO SERVE THE CITY AS BOND COUNCIL, JIM WENT OVER THE SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION FOR TODAY'S PRICING THE TWO ACTION ITEMS ARE AN ORDINANCE TO LEVY THE ASSESSMENT ON NUMBER TWO CROSSING. AND AS YOU SAW FROM THE PREVIOUS SLIDE IS $731,000 ANNUALLY EXPECTED FOR AN ANNUAL INSTALLMENT FOR THE TOTAL LEVY ON THE ENTIRE IMPROVEMENT AREA THAT WILL BE SPLIT BETWEEN THE HOMEOWNERS WHEN THEY GET THEM FOR STRUCTURE IN PLACE AND SELL THE LOTS I BELIEVE IT WAS ANTICIPATED TO BE 230 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND ATTACH CONDOS AND TOWNHOMES IN THERE AS WELL THE MIX BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE THAT SET UP BECAUSE DEVELOPERS ARE GETTING THAT DONE AND THEIR EMPLOYEES, THE ASSESSMENT LEVY IS SOMETHING THAT YOU DID FOR NUMBER ONE IN THE SAME ACTION FOR IMPROVING AREA NUMBER TWO A LOT GOES IN PLACE.

IF YOU LIKE WE CAN GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT THE BOND ORDINANCE OF 9.5 TAKE ACTION ON 9.4 THIS WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO

DO SO. >> QUESTIONS WERE ACTION FROM

[01:35:06]

>> THANK YOU BART. >> I HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION EARLY KNOW THE ANSWER BUT FOR GENERAL KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE WE ARE APPROVING THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS RIGHT NOW.

CAN YOU TELL US HIGH LEVEL HOW PID BONDS OF HAVE ANY IMPACT ON

THE CITY'S BOND RATING. >> BOND RATING IS SECURED ENTIRELY BY THE ASSESSMENTS THAT WERE LOVING THERE IS NO GENERAL OBLIGATION OF THE CITY TO REPAY THE BONDS SECURED BY THE ASSESSMENTS. IF THE ASSESSMENTS ARE PAID THE BONDHOLDERS GET PAID AND THEY KNOW THAT THEY DON'T GET PAID THEN THEY HAVE NO OTHER LEGAL RIGHT FOR THE CITY.

AS IT RELATES TO THE BOND RATING THAT IS SOMETHING THAT MAY CHANGE OVER TIME I WILL TURN YOU OVER TO HIM SO YOU CAN EXPLAIN

THE AND THE RATE USE. >> TICKET FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

>> THIS IS AN AREA THAT WE EXPLORED FROM THE ORIGINATION OF THE ISSUANCE AND ONGOING BASIS, THE ISSUANCE OF WELL CONSTRUCTED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BONDS HAS NO IMPACT ON THE CITY'S BOND RATING, ACCESS TO CAPITAL.

IN FACT THEY HAVE LOOKED AT. VON ISSUANCE BY OTHER COMMUNITIES AND INDICATED ITS CREATIVE WAY TO FUND ADDITIONAL AMENITIES AND TO GENERATE THE DEVELOPMENT WHICH DO NOT HAVE A BURDEN. IN SUMMARY, THE BOND RATING AGENCY RECOGNIZE THAT THE STRUCTURE THAT WE PROPOSE WHICH IS THE BEST PRACTICE STRUCTURE HAS NO FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS OR LIABILITY TO THE CITY AND FACILITATES QUALITY DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT ANY CITY FUNDING INVOLVED IN THE RECOGNIZES AS POSITIVE THE TEXAS CITIES ARE GROWING.

>> IS AN ONGOING PROCESS THAT WE'VE DONE AND GOING TO RATING PROCESS AND THEY RECOGNIZE THAT THOSE ARE ESSENTIAL IN SOME WAYS TO HELP GROW A CITY IN AN IMPORTANT THING FOR STRUCTURED SAFELY WITH ANY RISKS I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OR ACTION?

>> THIS WILL NOT COME BACK TO US EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS FIRST

READING. >> YOU TO BE THE FIRST READING IN THE STATUTE SAYS IT CAN BE DONE ON ONE READING ONLY AND IT'S A MATTER OF PROCEDURE TO WAIVE THE SECOND READING THERE

IS NO HARM. >> WE CANNOT WAIVE THE BOND ORDINANCE UNDER THE CHARTER REQUIREMENT AND TYPICALLY WE PUT ON THE CONSENT ON THE NEXT AGENDA WITH THE STATEMENT WE DO THIS BECAUSE THE CHARTER SETS THESE ORDINANCES OF TWO READINGS BUT IT'S A MATTER OF EFFECTIVENESS IT IS EFFECTIVE ON

THE FIRST READING. >> THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THE.

[10.1. Consideration and possible action regarding possible appointments, re-appointments and/or removals to City Boards]

[01:40:07]

>> THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM 10 .1 CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE APPOINTMENTS IN REAPPOINTMENTS AND/OR REMOVALS TO CITY BOARDS COMMISSION, TASK FORCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPER CORPORATION, LOCAL GOVERNMENT CORPORATION AND TAX REINVESTMENT ZONE WORK, CITY COUNCIL LIAISON AND AREA GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENTS.

>> THANK YOU MAYOR. THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE MET LAST NIGHT WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING CHAIR BECAUSE WE HAD TWO VACANCIES AND A REAPPOINTMENT ACCEPTANCE.

AFTER INTERVIEWING THE TWO CANDIDATES AND CONSIDERING WE WANT TO PUT FORWARD THE THREE NAMES FOR PLACE ONE JERICHO LAWYER AS A REAPPOINTMENT. FOR PLACE FOR REGULAR PUT CHERYL STEWART AND THAT IS A FULL THREE-YEAR TERM AND A RESIGNATION FOR PLACE SIX SO WE ARE GOING TO FINISH OUT THE

APPOINTMENT WITH 20 WORDS. >> WHAT PLACE NUMBER WAS THAT?

>> I'LL TAKE A MOTION. >> MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER

COURT, DO WE HAVE A SECOND. >> SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER

KOLAR - >> QUESTION UNDER PROCESS WE TALKED ABOUT APPLICATIONS THAT WE WOULD ALL GET TO SEE THE APPLICATION. IS THERE PLACE TO GO SEE ALL OF THESE? HOW DO WE KNOW THE 10 COMING,

DID THREE COMMON. >> THE PROCESS ANGELA SENT THEM OUT TO THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE AND I SET A DATE AND ASK THE CHAIR TO ATTEND AND I AM BY ALL THE PEOPLE THAT APPLIED TO SEE IF THEY CAN ATTEND AND WE EITHER DO IT AT CITY HALL OR THIS TIME WE DID A VIRTUALLY ON THE WEBEX SO EVERYONE CAN MEET AND DO IT.

THAT IS A PROCESS AND I GIVE THE VACANCIES IN EXCEL SHEET TO ANGELA FOR ANY VACANCIES IN THE PUBLISHED OUT TO THE CITY THEN I HAD THE CITY SECRETARY ONCE WE DECIDED THOSE WITH THE PEOPLE WE ARE GET A PUT FORWARD ASK ANGELA TO SEND IT OUT TO THE COUNCIL AS DAN HAD ASKED PREVIOUSLY. THAT'S KIND OF THE PROCESS.

>> WE GOT THE APPLICATION. WE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH DDC TWO VERY IMPORTANT BOARDS IN MY MIND THE MOST IMPORTANT, THE EDC AND THE PNC. A LOOK AROUND AT OTHER CITIES IN AC/DC BOARDS ARE MADE UP OF PEOPLE IN THAT PARTICULAR FIELD OF WORK AND I SEE PNC ON THE BOARDS THAT ARE IN THAT FIELD OF WORK SINCE I MISSED THE E-MAIL FOR EACH OF THESE PEOPLE CAN YOU TELL US WHAT QUALIFICATIONS AND WHAT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THE COUNCIL SAYS WE DON'T WANT TO GO AGAINST WHAT THE BOARDS SAY SO WERE RELYING ON A BOARD TO MAKE A PROFESSIONAL DECISION AND I WILL MAKE SURE WERE PUTTING SOMEONE WAS SOME SORT OF EXPLAINS POTENTIALLY BUT IF YOU COULD TELL US AN OPTICAL PERSON BY PERSON.

WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE ARE THESE PEOPLE BRING INTO REPORT.

>> ONE PERSON IS BEEN A BOARD MEMBER FOR THREE YEARS AND THEY'VE TAKEN THE TRAINING AND WORKED WITH ASHLEY TO UNDERSTAND AND TO LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS DOING WITH ORDINANCES, THE EDC AND INVOLVE CITIZEN. AND WE HAVE ANOTHER MEMBER AS A PREVIOUS MEMBER OF PLANNING AND ZONING WITH A REAL ESTATE LICENSE AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT SIDE OF THE BUSINESS AND WE HAVE A NEW PERSON THAT WANTS TO GET INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY AND EVERYBODY HAS TO START SOMEWHERE AND ONE THING THAT WE HAVE THERE'S TRAININGS AND WHEN I WAS PUT ON PNC AT THE TIME THERE WAS A TEXAS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STATEWIDE THAT HAPPENS AND THEY HAVE A NEW TRAINING CLASS FOR PNC MEMBERS TO GET TRAINED AND THEY ALSO RECOMMEND COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN ATTEND THAT. I WENT TO THE ONE IN WACO AND THEY SUSPENDED IT DURING COVID SO WHEN THEY BRING UP ANOTHER ONE THAT IS CLOSE TO THE HUTTO AREA WHERE SOMEONE CAN DRIVE UP AND PARTICIPATE THAT SOMETHING ANY BOARD MEMBER THAT IS NEW SHOULD GO TO THAT AND COUNSELED PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING AT

THINGS WILL GET ELECTED. >> AND HUTTO CITIZENS.

>> ON A PREVIOUS BOARD AND SHOWN COMMITMENT TO HUTTO AND THE

PASSION TO DRIVE US FORWARD. >> I GUESS MY CONCERN NOT THE

[01:45:05]

BOARD THAT I DON'T DISAGREE. >> WE HAD A DEVELOPER THAT RESIGNED AN ARCHITECT THEY CAN PARTICIPATE ANYMORE AND THEY DON'T HAVE AN APPLICANT WITH THE FUTURES RIGHT NOW, DO WE NOT HAVE A BOARD OR DO WE FILL IT WITH BOARD.

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE ASKING. I'M KIND OF IN FAVOR IF WE CAN HAVE THESE PEOPLE SERVE ON THE TWO IMPORTANT BOARDS.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRAINING HAS TO BE THERE INTO REQUIREMENT AND SOMETHING THAT IS AGREED-UPON OR DURING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO COMMIT TO COMPLETING AND POTENTIALLY STOOL AND SHOWING CREDENTIALS YOU COMPLETED THE CERTIFICATION TO BE ON THE BOARD OR COMMISSION.

>> THESE ARE THE APARTMENTS FOR THE SPORT OF THIS COMMISSION SO WE CAN SEE IF THEY MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO AN

APPLICATION. >> I'M LOOKING FOR WHAT EFFORT DID THE CITY COUNCIL PUT OUT AS A BODY? LOOKING FOR PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW THAT HAVE SKILLS.

IT'S ONE THING TO SAY TO MY NEIGHBOR ARE WE DOING ANYTHING TUESDAY NIGHT AT 7:00 O'CLOCK. WE HAVE SOMETHING TO GO THROUGH SOME TRAINING WHAT ARE WE AS A COUNCIL DOING TO BETTER HUTTO ARE WE GOING OUT AND ASKING HONOR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS OR NETWORK OF PEOPLE. IS THERE ANY ARCHITECT AFTER HER ENGINEERS. I SEE A LOT WE SIT BACK AND WE SAY WE HAVE TWO APPLICANTS. I THINK THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE AND I'M NOT DENYING THAT THEY'RE NOT GOOD OR HAVE SOME TRAINING BUT AT SOME POINT GEORGETOWN IN THE PROCESS IS NOT THAT YOUR GOOD WHEN YOUR SKILLS AND WHAT TRAINING AND WHAT TRAINING WILL YOU GO TO IF YOU THREE OPENINGS AND IF WE HAVE TO FILL ALL THREE TONIGHT CAN WE FILL TO TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A QUORUM.

>> IN THE WORKING SESSION AND COUNCIL MEMBER THORTON SUGGESTED THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE WORD OF THE REQUIREMENTS WE ASKED FOR IN THE INTERVIEWS AND WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT WE ASKED IN ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE POSED WE ASKED THEM BUT WE HIGHLIGHT TWO OR THREE THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKING SURE WE GET THE RIGHT CANDIDATES ON THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONS.

I TOTALLY SEE YOUR POINT. YES WE HAVE APPLICANTS, THAT'S GREAT AND WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO APPLY AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE APPLYING AND IF THERE IS GAPS WE HELP THEM TO GET THE TRAINING THAT THEY NEED TO RENOMINATE AT A LATER DATE TO SERVE ON THE BOARD AND COMMISSION.

>> I DID NOT SEE ANY MESSAGING FROM ANYBODY SAYING AND I'M OUT THERE PUTTING PEOPLE IN I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE APPLIED IF THE REAPPLIED OR SIX APPLIED THERE'S A LOT OF THE SAME NAMES BUT EVERY TEAM GETS UPGRADED AT SOME POINT AND WE HAVE 50000 PEOPLE IN THE SAME NAMES COMING BACK AROUND.

YOU LOOK AT AND SAME MISTAKES ARE MADE AND SAY WERE NOT MAKING THAT MISTAKE AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IT'S A LOOKING BACK IN TIME.

>> YOU WANT SUBJECT AREA SPECIALIST.

>> THAT AND NEW PEOPLE THIS 45000 PEOPLE IN HUTTO WHAT ARE WE FAILING TO DO, THE SAME PEOPLE IF YOU LOOK AT HER BOARD AND COMMISSION ARE MADE UP OF THE SAME 30 PEOPLE ROUGHLY.

>> WAS THE 80 - 20 RULE. >> WE HAVE 10% PEOPLE COMING UP TO VOTE FOR THE CITY AND THEN PEOPLE TO COME OUT AND SERVE ON THE BOARD THAT IS THE LAST NUMBER IN THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION ARE UNDER 35 WITH YOUNG CHILDREN SO YOUR POOL HAS SHRUNK VERY SMALL AND I AGREE THAT'S WHY VAST, APPLY I WANT TO HAVE RESUMES ON THE BENCH AND THE MOMENT WE HAVE THE NEXT THING REACH OUT TO SOMEBODY. AT SOME POINT YOU BEEN SERVING REALLY WELL MAYBE WANT TO STEP UP BECAUSE WE HAVE ARCHITECT OR

[01:50:01]

TIME BUT AS PEOPLE ARE SERVING. >> I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO BETTER ON THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE.

I THANK YOU BRING SOME GOOD POINTS.

I THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES TO DO BETTER AND HAVE SIMILAR MEANS. I THINK THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN TAKE AWAY AND MEET AS A NOMINATING COMMITTEE AND MAKE SURE THE PROCESS AND PROCEDURES ARE BUTTONED UP.

>> THE LAST THING I WOULD SAY ON THIS IF YOU GET AB ON PNC AND ELECT THESE PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE TRAINING THAT THEY ASKED THE QUESTIONS AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO CHALLENGE THE DEVELOPERS THAT COME UP IN CHALLENGE STAFF.

SOME OF THESE THINGS WHEN WE HAD A PNC PERSON ALMOST INVESTIGATED BECAUSE ARE ASKING TOO MUCH QUESTIONS.

THEY SAID HOME DEPOT, IT WAS HOPED DEEPER AND IF YOU PASS WITH RESTRICTIONS FOR HOPED DEPOT YOU LET HOME DEPOT GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING BECAUSE RESTRICTIONS ARE AGAINST HOPE DEPOT AND YOU HAVE TAPPED PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO ASK QUESTIONS. ANYWAY.

>> I ALSO THINK WITH HUTTO CITIZENS UNIVERSITY VASCULAR BE A GREAT POOL TO POOL FROM IF WE LOOK AT WHAT CLASSES SHE HAS IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME OF THE LEARNING AND TRAINING INTO THE HUTTO UNIVERSITY OR SHE TALKING ABOUT DOING A SOPHOMORE CLASS CAN WE BRANCH OFF INTO MORE TRAINING FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN GOING TO THE SECOND STEP BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME OF THE IN-HOUSE TRAINING AND SOME OF THE AREA EXPERTS WHO ARE COACHING THEM THROUGH THAT AND IF A VOLUNTEER THAT TIME THEN THAT COMMITMENT IS ALREADY THERE.

>> DEFINITELY. >> ONE THING THAT WE CAN DO IN THE FUTURE, WHEN I WAS ON THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE I WENT AND READ EVERY ORDINANCE AND EVERY BOARDING COMMISSION, THERE IS ONLY ONE BOARD THAT SPECIFIES THE DESIRED SKILL SET AND ASSESS TORQUE PRESERVATION. NONE OF THE OTHERS DO.

IF WE WANT TO ADD THAT AND WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE ORDINANCES AND START ADDING A DESIRE OF QUALIFICATION.

>> THIS SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER ITEM FOR A WORK SESSION AND A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO ASSESS OUT.

>> IN THE SPECIFIC CASE OF PNC WE TALKED ABOUT PEOPLE DOING THE CBA AS A STARTING POINT. I THINK WE SHOULD TRY TO ENCOURAGE CBA MEMBERS TO GET THE FULL PNC TRAINING SO THE MORE PREPARED. TWO OF THE PEOPLE THAT CAME AND BROUGHT THEM FROM CBA SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE IT ON BUT DEPENDING ON HOW THE SUPREMES WILL NEED TO MAKE A CBA ADJUSTMENT.

>> MY ONLY CONCERN HOW MANY TIMES A DAY MEET LAST YEAR?

>> PROBABLY NONE. >> IF THEY DID THAT AND GET

TRAINING. >> THERE IS TRAINING, WE WENT THROUGH ONLINE TRAINING SO YOU SIT THERE 30 MINUTES DID YOU GET A WHOLE LOT OUT OF THAT TO BE HONEST AND KEEP IN MIND THE DECISION THAT THE EEC IN THE PNC MAKE OUR LIFE ALTERING FOR THE CITY OF HUTTO YOU CANNOT GO BACK AND REZONE PROPERTY IN A DIFFERENT WAY BECAUSE WE MADE A MISTAKE WE SHOULD NOT OF DONE THAT. I DON'T MIND WHO'S ON THEIR AS LONG AS THE COUNCIL IS WILLING TO CHALLENGE THE ORDINANCE AND SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATION BUT WERE GOING A DIFFERENT ROUTE. IF WE AS A COUNCIL STAY WITH THE LIBRARY BOARD SAID WE SHOULD DO IT I'M GOING TO DO IT THEY WERE NOT BEING CRITICAL THINKERS AND I TAKE TO THE CITY MANAGER'S INPUT AND I SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERIENCE BUT I WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR I AGREE OREN GOING TO CHANGE IT THIS IS PUSHING ON THE COUNCIL TO BE IF WE GET IN.

>> I'M WILLING TO PUT THE MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH THIS TYPE OF THING. I THINK THE LIAISON COMING UP MAYBE I'M JUMPING THE GUN BUT I THINK WE SHOULD SET THE TONE AND SET THE EXAMPLE AND WE SHOULD TAKE THE TRAINING SET WERE ASKING THE MEMBERS TO VOLUNTEER TO TAKE.

I KNOW I'M NOT THROWING ANY SHADE TO ANY COUNCIL MEMBER.

I KNOW DNI CAME APPEAR LAST YEAR AND ASKED FOR TRAINING AND THAT NEVER HAPPENED. I JUST THINK WE NEED TO PUT OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTH IS EVER SITTING HERE SAYING WE NEED MEMBERS TO BE TRAINED UP ON THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONS THEN WE NEED TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND DO THE TRAININGS AS WELL.

I'M WILLING IS AN EDC MEMBER TO TAKE THE TRAININGS.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AND WHATEVER LIAISON SERVES ON THE PNC WE SHOULD PROBABLY SCHEDULE SOME SORT OF TRAINING WITH THE NEW MEMBERS IN THE NEW LIAISONS.

>> MOTION PASSES 7 - 0. ANY OTHER ITEMS ON THIS?

>> NO, SIR. >> THE PEOPLE ON THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE AND THE REST OF COUNCIL CAN START WORKING TO HAVE THE BACKUP AND THE BENCH FOR, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE NOT ONLY TRAINED BUT ALSO QUALIFIED ON WHATEVER BOARD, LIBRARY YOU DON'T WANT A PERSON THAT DOESN'T LIKE PARKS SERVING ON THE PARKS BOARD BUT IF YOU'RE TRYING TO FILL A WHOLE, THAT CAN HAPPEN.

>> IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT THE ENTIRE COUNCIL TO LOOK AT, WOULD YOU LIKE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE ON WHAT WE THINK FOR EACH BOARD SHOULD BE.

>> I THINK THE COUNCIL SHOULD TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES, JUST LIKE YOU GO TO A RESTAURANT AND WHAT IS SO GREAT IN HUTTO YOU SHOULD COME AND OPEN UP A BUSINESS.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO BE TALKING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD BARBECUE YOU ARE A SECTION SUCH, HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SERVING ON THE BOARD OF COMMISSION AND GETTING THEM TO APPLY BECAUSE I THINK THE APPLICATIONS ARE GOOD FOR TWO YEARS.

>> YES. >> I KNOW THEY HAVE AN

EXPIRATION. >> THEY CAN APPLY IF THEY DON'T HAVE AN EXPIRATION THAT SCARY BECAUSE WERE PROBABLY NOT GOING

BACK TO LOOKING AT PEOPLE. >> THAT'S A LOOK AT THE COUNCIL.

>> AS YOUR MEETING PEOPLE YOU'RE NEW TO HUTTO, WHAT YOU DO.

IF YOU HAVE A TECH COUNCIL, FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN TECHNOLOGY I WOULD NOT BE THE PERSON THAT YOU WOULD WANT

TECHNOLOGY. >> I THINK THE ISSUE THAT I'M RUNNING INTO WHENEVER I'M TALKING ABOUT BOARDS AND COMMISSION, PEOPLE WILL BE LIKE WHAT DO THEY DO.

>> IT'S LIKE HERE'S WHAT THEY DO AND THIS IS WHAT THEY DO.

THIS IS WHAT THEY DO AND YOU BE GOOD FOR THIS BECAUSE YOU DO ASK. WE DON'T HAVE ANY SORT OF ROLES OR RESPONSIBILITIES, WHAT IS THERE GOING TO BE ACHIEVED.

>> THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS AND WHAT ARE WE ASKING FOR APPLICATION IS NOT EASY TO GO THROUGH THOUGHT PROCESS WHEN YOU COMPLETE THE APPLICATION.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEND TIME TO APPLY FOR ABORTIVE COMMISSION WHEN I KNOW I WON'T MEET THE QUALIFICATION.

THE FIRST STEP WHAT WE REQUESTED THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE QUALIFIED FOR, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR IN EACH BOARD, I WOULD DO A GUIDE SHE, THIS IS WHAT THE BOARD DOES SO WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT HERE'S A BOOKLET OF ALL OF OUR BOARDING COMMISSIONS AND HERE'S WHAT THEY DO, DO YOU THINK YOU FIND ANY EXPERTISE IN THERE? I'M BIG INTO MARKETING, EVEN VIDEOS AND VIDEO CLIPS ON THE WEBSITE IN A MEETING WITH PNC THIS IS WHAT PNC TALKS ABOUT THIS IS WHAT WE LOOK AT SO THEY'RE NOT THINKING I CAN'T DO THAT OR THEY ARE THINKING THAT'S WHAT I DO IN MY DAY JOB I DON'T MIND GOING AND HELPING OUT. IT'S KIND OF WHEN YOU ASK SOMEONE TO MENTOR AND IDAHO QUALIFICATIONS.

SIMPLIFY IT FOR THEM SO THE LETTERS DON'T THROW THEM OFF.

[02:00:10]

>> MAYOR. >> REQUIREMENT YOU HAVE TO, WITH THE EXPECTATION IF YOU WANT US TO FOLLOW EXPECTATION WE HAVE TO

SEE WHAT THEY ARE. >> MAYOR, JUMPING THE GUN POTENTIALLY BUT 10.2 TALKING ABOUT LIAISON I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO SAY OUR NEXT MEETING OR WITHIN THE MONTH THE LIAISON GETS WITH THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD THAT YOU ARE LIAISON IN OVER AND YOU CREATE THE DATA SHEET, THE FACT SHEET THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WILCOTT IS TALKING ABOUT AND YOU UNDERSTAND WITH ABORTIVE COMMISSION DOES SO THAT WAY YOU CAN HAVE AN EDUCATED CONVERSATION WHEN YOU HAVE THESE TYPES OF INTERVIEWS RIGHT NOW I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THE CURRENT NOMINATING COMMITTEE OR PAST NOMINATING.

THE INTERVIEW PROCESS IS A LITTLE BROKEN AND THAT WOULD ADMIXTURE TO WHAT WERE ASKING TO DEDICATE THEIR TIMES TO SERVE

THE CITY FOR. >> HOW ABOUT A WORK SESSION WHERE WE DETERMINE AS THE COUNCIL OVERLOOKING FOR THE

BOARDING COMMISSION. >> THAT WAY WE CAN USE THE INFORMATION AND PASS IT DOWN TO THE CHAIRMAN AND WORK ON APPLICATIONS. EB CITY MANAGER I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SCHEDULES FOR WORK SESSIONS.

>> HE SAID THEY HAVE A LOT OF SATURDAY STILL OPEN.

>> I SAID EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.

>> THE STARTING POINT IS ORDINANCE.

IF YOU GO BACK AND READ THEM HAS A LIST OF EACH ONE OF THEM.

IF YOU ARE CURIOUS IF SOMEBODY SAYS WHAT DOES PMC DO YOU GO TO THE ORDINANCE AND YOU CAN READ OFF EXACTLY WHAT PNC DOES.

>> WHO WANTS TO READ A WHOLE ORDINANCE.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING YOU AS A NOMINATING COMMITTEE CAN DO THAT. YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GO AND GIVE THEM THAT. THAT'S WHAT I USED TO DO WHEN I WAS SETTING UP E-MAILS SOMEONE WOULD APPLY AND I WOULD GIVE THEM A SYNOPSIS OF WHAT WAS FROM THE ORDINANCE AND HERE'S WHAT IT

IS SO THEY WERE PREPARED. >> TO UPDATE THE ELECTRONIC APPLICATION FORM WHEN THEY PICK WHAT THEY DO ONE APPLICATION FOR ONE PARTICULAR BOARD AND THEY CLICK IT IT PUTS THE EXPANSION OF THE FORM FOR THE BOARD SO THEY HAVE AN APPLICATION.

>> SOME OF US HAVE FOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, SOME HAVE FOUR WEEKS OF EXPERIENCE, WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A SYSTEM WHERE WERE NOT RELYING ON FOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE BUT YET HOW DO WE GET IT TO WHERE YOU START ANY COUNCIL MEETING AND WHAT IS IN ORDINANCE AND WHAT IS THE RESOLUTION AND HOW TO MAKE THE MOTION AND I GOTTA READ ALL THE ORDINANCES IN THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE AND HATTAWAY DO ALL THAT WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO REVIEW EVERYTHING AND MAKE SURE THE EXPECTATION ARE WHAT WE WANTED TO BE. SOME OF THE ORDINANCES ARE WRITTEN IN THE '90S. THERE FIGURE OUT WHAT THE APPLICATION NEEDS TO BE BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO IS NOT READILY JUMPING UP AND DOWN TO GO VOLUNTEER HOW DO WE MAKE IT TO WHERE THEY CAN LOOK AT IT AND SAY I'M NOT QUALIFIED FOR THAT AND QUALIFIED FOR THIS IF I TAKE TRAINING I COULD BE QUALIFIED FOR THIS. I THINK IT'S A PROCESS WE CAN

WORK ON. >> I LIKE YOUR IDEA OF THE WORK SESSION I THINK THAT'S NEEDED. IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL HAVE AN OPENING ON ONE OF THE MEETINGS IN AUGUST I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE IF IT'S A FIRST OR SECOND MEETING BUT ONE OF THOSE TWO

WILL BE AN OPENING. >> MAYBE WE CAN PASS AT THE ORDINANCE. IT MAY TAKE A COUPLE OF MEETINGS

PRIOR TO. >> GIVE ME A LIST OF THE THINGS SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE CIRCULATED AND THAT WAY I HAVE ANGELO PACKAGE IT AND PUT IT INTO THE COUNCIL FOLDER ON TEAMS AND YOU WOULD HAVE IT THERE ON YOUR FINGERTIPS.

[10.2. Appointment of City Council Liaisons to Boards and Commissions (Councilmember Randal Clark)]

>> GREAT DISCUSSION THERE. NOTHING ELSE ITEM 10 .2, APPOINTMENT OF CITY COUNCIL LIAISON TO BOARDING COMMISSION.

>> I DIDN'T SPECIFICALLY ASK TO BE PUT ON FOR THIS TIME BUT I KNOW IT'S A FIRST TIME THE MEETING OF THE FULL BOARD AND I BELIEVE WE NEED TO APPOINT OUR COUNCIL LIAISON FOR CHARTERS IF IT WERE THE FIRST TIME OF A FULL MEETING.

>> THERE'S NO CHARTER REQUIREMENT OF THE COUNCIL.

>> I KNOW SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS DISCUSS MAYBE WE PUSH THIS OFF LATER AFTER THE WORK SESSION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSION TO SAY.

I DO WANT TO SAY FOR NOW WE ARE SHORT WE HAVE NO COUNCIL LIAISONS EVEN IF IT'S A TEMPORARY DNI BECAUSE WE HAD A VACANCY IN COUNCIL MEMBER WILCOTT YOU'RE ON HERE NOW.

>> THERE'S NO COUNCIL LIAISON FOR PNC TEMPORARILY FOR WANTED

[02:05:09]

CAN SWITCH OUT LATER. >> WHO'S INTERESTED IN DNI? I'M THE ONLY COUNCIL MEMBER THAT TOOK THE TRAINING SO I TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY AND I WOULD LIKE TO ELEVATE THEIR STATUS WHETHER IT'S ME OR COUNCIL MEMBER WILCOTT.

>> WITH THE ONLINE MESSAGE BOARD IN THE ABILITY FOR ANY COUNCIL MEMBER TO GO TO ANY BOARD OR COMMISSION MEETING, I REALLY CHALLENGE THE IDEA THAT WE NEEDED COUNCIL LIAISON.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH PNC YOU CAN JUST SHOW UP IN A COUNCIL MEMBER THAT SHOWS UP CAN SHARE THE INFORMATION ON THE PNC BOARD AND I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN A BIG FAN OF THE LIAISON THEY WORKED ON SOME BOARD OF COMMISSIONS AND OTHERS THEY HAVE IT BUT I REALLY CHALLENGE THAT WAS SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE IMPLEMENTED DO WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE THIS AND SHOULD WE NOT BE SPENDING OUR TIME.

IF YOU'RE VALUING THE CHAIRMAN AND THE PROCESSES AND YOU HAVE STAFF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONS THEN REALLY WE OUGHT TO BE GETTING INFORMATION FROM STAFF.

>> THAT WAS NEVER THE PURPOSE OF THE LIAISON.

>> WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE. >> THE PURPOSE WAS FOR US AS INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS TO DEEP DIVE INTO LEARNING UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT PROCESS WITHIN THE CITY AND WHEN I WAS FIRST ELECTED I WENT TO PNC SO I REALLY LEARNED A WHOLE PNC PROCESS SO I COULD UNDERSTAND IT WELL AND I CAN BE A RESOURCE TO THEM NOT THAT I'M DIRECTING THEM I WOULD NEVER ONCE EVER SPOKE UP AND PNC MEETING SO I WASN'T DIRECTING THE CHAIRMAN I REALLY MET WITH THE CHAIRMAN BUT IT WAS TO BE RESOURCE AND FOR INSTANCE WHEN I WOULD ATTEND THE PNC MEETINGS AND NOTICED THERE WAS A VACANCY SOMEBODY WAS IN ATTENDING THAT WAS AN INDICATION THAT I NEEDED TO BRING THAT TO THE COUNCIL THAT WE MAY NEED TO APPOINT SOMEBODY NEW OR SOMEBODY STRUGGLING OR ATTENDING THAT'S WHAT I DO IN HPC WE HAVE A MEMBER THAT HASN'T SHOWED UP FOR THREE MEETINGS IN A ROW SO NOW THAT IS ON MY RADAR TO POSSIBLY NOTE WE NEED TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER APPOINTEE.

ALSO BECAUSE I'M ON HPC I'M ACTIVELY IN THE COMMUNITY LOOKING FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD FIT THAT AND INVITING THEM TO APPLY. I'VE GOTTEN TWO APPLICATIONS THROUGH THE PROCESS WHERE I INVITED DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY TO APPLY FOR HPC AND ONE WAS APPOINTED.

THAT KIND OF THING IT'S NOT JUST TO BRING BACK INFORMATION TO THE REST OF THE COUNCIL. ANYONE CAN ATTEND BUT IS TO GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT A CERTAIN PROCESS AND IF YOU REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL INTENTION FOR EVERY YEAR WE ROTATE AND I COULD LEARN ALL ABOUT PNC AND HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING AND MAYBE I ROTATE TO LIBRARY BOARD OF THE PORT UNDER PARKS BOARD AND GET A GOOD FEEL FOR WHAT THAT IS.

I FELT THAT WOULD MAKE US MORE WELL-ROUNDED COUNCIL MEMBERS BECAUSE WE COULD REALLY UNDERSTAND.

>> WITH THAT TIE US TO ONE I WOULD BE THE ONE TO SHOW UP I'M NOSY LIKE THAT. IF WE WERE A LIAISON WITH THAT

TIE US TO ONE? >> I SHOW UP AT PNC OR WATCH THEM AT HOME OR EDC THERE'S NOTHING THAT STOPS YOU FROM GOING IT'S ONE PERSON IS ASSIGNED TO IT.

>> BE IN A CHAIR AND COMING FROM THE DNI AND COMMITTEE COUNCIL I APPRECIATED THE COUNCIL MEMBER HAVING A LIAISON IN THE RESOURCE WAS A GOOD RESOURCE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO RESOURCE AND UTILIZE IN THE FEEDBACK THAT THEY GAVE ON THE PROCESSING PROCEDURES THAT COUNCIL GOES THROUGH AND ALL THE THINGS THAT COUNCIL THINKS ABOUT AND WEIGHING OUT THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE BOARDING COMMISSION I APPRECIATED IT IN THE FOLKS ON OUR BOARD APPRECIATED AS WELL. I SEE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM BUT I THINK THERE IS VALUE IN HAVING THE LIAISONS.

>> AGAIN YOU GIVEN ME TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WHAT THE LIAISON IS FOR MAYOR PRO TEM IS SAYING THE POINT OF THE LIAISON.

>> I'M SAYING THAT'S WHAT MY LIAISON DID.

>> I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S WHAT THE DOING.

>> HE SAYING THE BIGGEST POINT IS TO LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS AND LEARN ABOUT THE BOARD WHICH ANY OF US CAN GO TO AND TO BE

RESOURCE. >> WE HAVE RESOURCE AND I SAID

THAT TO. >> CAN WE TAKE THAT TO OUR WORK SESSION TO AND IRON THAT OUT? CAN WE TABLE 10.2?

>> TODAY THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL SINCE WE STARTED THE PROCESS,

[02:10:02]

>> COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK WASN'T, ONLY THREE OF US WERE ON THEIR AND I DON'T KNOW THINGS ALWAYS TEND TO MOVE SOMETIMES THAN WHAT WE ORIGINALLY PLANNED THEN WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW.

>> A LITTLE GUIDEBOOK ON THE LIAISON.

IT'S ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AND STREAMLINED SO WHEN COUNCIL CHANGES WE HAVE A TEMPLATE TO FALL BACK ON.

>> 'S AND IN THE PROTOCOL. WE CAN LOOK AT IT.

I THINK IT WASN'T THERE. >> YEAR LIKE THE BOOK OF EVERYTHING. 10.2.

>> THERE IS A LOT OF PROCESS. >> PETER HAS EVERYTHING GET HIS HEAD. NO I DID NOT SEE THAT.

>> , PROCESS ORIENTED PERSON. >> COUNCIL MEMBER WILCOTT DID

YOU MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE? >> I MOTION TO TABLE 10.2 APPOINTMENT OF CITY COUNCIL LIAISON TO BOARDS AND

COMMISSIONS. >> SECOND.

>> MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WILCOTT SECOND BY THOMPSON TABLING. 10.2 UNTIL SUCH POINT WE HAVE OUR WORK SESSION ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, IS THAT FINE

>> 70 MEXICO, CONSIDERATION ON DIRECTING STAFF TO UPDATE THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO REQUIRE AN ANNUAL LOAD TO TAKE PLACE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR ABORTIVE COMMISSION IN UPDATING THE CREATION RESOLUTION FOR TASKFORCES.

>> I PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA. I THOUGHT THIS WAS ALREADY A COMMONPLACE BUT APPARENTLY IT IS NOT.

HAVING BOARD AND COMMISSION VOTE ON THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR, SOMEBODY THAT WAS ON DNI. IT CAME UP ON A YEAR THAT I HAD BEEN THE CHAIR AND WE JUST KEPT ROLLING.

AND I HAD TO ASK CITY STAFF DO WE HAVE A VOTE FOR A NEW CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR OR DO I KEEP GOING.

I LOVE THE DNI BUT I WOULD BE WILLING TO LET SOMEBODY ELSE TRY TO BE A CHAIR AND THERE WAS REALLY NO PROCESS OR PROCEDURE FOR THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE OR MAKE THE MOTION TONIGHT BUT I WANT TO HEAR FROM COUNCIL, THEIR THOUGHTS ON ADDING THIS INTO THE REQUIREMENT ASKED THAT THERE IS A VOTE EVERY YEAR FOR A CHAIR IA VICE CHAIR.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER GORDON, IS THIS CURRENTLY ALREADY IN PLACE?

>> NO, WE DON'T. >> MY ONLY THOUGHT DO WE MOVE IT WILL BE DO THE WORK SESSION AND, WHEN ALL OF THESE ARE TIED TO THE SAME THING. ALL OF THEM, WHO'S ON THE BOARD, WHEN THERE ON THE BOARD, HOW LONGER ON THE BOARD.

>> WE MIGHT AS WELL ADD THAT PART TWO IT.

>> THAT'S WHY I THINK IT SHOULD BE THERE.

>> WHAT IS THE CURRENT POLICY, DID YOU NAME YOURSELF CHAIR.

>> WHEN WE ESTABLISH THE DNI I VOLUNTEERED TO BE CHAIR AND ANOTHER PERSON TO BE VOLUNTEERED AND WE TOOK A VOTE RIGHT THERE SO I HAD BEEN CHAIR SINCE 2020 WHEN IT WAS CREATED.

I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF CHAIRS AND VICE CHAIRS THAT ARE OPERATING UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT WHENEVER I DECIDE TO LEAVE ABORTIVE COMMISSION THEY WILL BLOW ON A NEW CHAIR AND THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT HAPPENED ON THE DNI COMMISSION.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY HARM SAYING YOU VOTE EVERY YEAR ON A

NEW CHAIR. >> IT COULD BE THE SAME PERSON

YEAR AFTER YEAR. >> IT STILL BE THE SAME PERSON BUT AT LEAST YOUR VOTING. WE CAN TABLE IT I JUST DON'T

REALLY SEE THE NEED TO TABLE. >> POSTPONE I APOLOGIZE.

>> ONLY THING I WAS CURIOUS IT CAN PROBABLY BE NOT THE EDC BECAUSE THEN THEIR OWN BYLAWS SO WITH US ALL OF THEIR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS EXCEPT THE EDC THAT WOULD BE FINE.

>> ONLY REASON I AGREE WITH THE POSTPONEMENT IF WE'RE GOING TO

[02:15:01]

WERE GETTING READY TO DIRECT STAFF WITH THE UPDATE OF ORDINANCE SOLO BRING US ORDINANCE AND WE WOULD VOTE ON THEM ONLY TO ME IN AUGUST TO GO BACK OVER THE ORDINANCES TO POTENTIALLY MAKE CHANGES INFO ON CHANGES AGAIN.

>> THEY COULD BRING BACK A RECOMMENDED CHANGE TO THE WORK SESSION. THIS CAN BE DONE.

>> I AGREE WITH THAT MAYOR. >> IT ALL GOES BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT TIGHTENING THE PROCESS UP A LITTLE BIT.

>> WITHOUT ADDING MORE PROCESSES.

>> CLEAR AND CONCISE. >> SINCE WE HAVE A BOARDING COMMISSION AND ON JUNE 30 THE MAYBE THE MONTH OF JULY TO GET TOGETHER AND MEET PEOPLE SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE VOTES BE IN AUGUST FOR THE ABORTIVE COMMISSION SO THEY GET ONE

MEETING AFTER. >> EVEN THEN YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SUMMER QUARTERLY AND SUMMER AS NEEDED SO THERE IS A VARIANCE THERE. IT NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS IT TO WORK FOR EVERYBODY.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL, JEFF WHITE DIRECTOR PARKS AND RECREATION.

UPTAKE INTO A QUICK PRESENTATION AND WILL TURN IT OVER FOR MORE DETAIL. A QUICK TIMELINE ON THIS.

IN DECEMBER OF 2022 THE PARK ADVISORY BOARD REVIEWED THE MASTER PLAN CONCEPT AT THEIR MEETING.

THEY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE MASTER PLAN CONCEPT.

IN JANUARY OF 2023 THE PLAN WAS PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN THE BUDGET PROCESS IN APRIL IT RANKED AS THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY FOR THE PARTS AND BACK DEPARTMENT AND IN MAY IT RANKED AS NUMBER TWO OVERALL DEBT SERVICE PROJECT AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP. THIS TASK ORDER WILL INCLUDE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION SPECIFIC STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK SUCH AS HUTTO LUTHERAN CHURCH.

SITE PROJECT PLANNING AND SOLAR STRUCTURE ENGINEER MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL PLUMBING AND TREE RESERVATION PLANS.

>> IS BROKEN UP INTO TWO PHASES, PHASE ONE DELIVERABLES WILL INCLUDE CITY APPROVAL DESIGN ADVICE AND UPDATED COST ESTIMATES, PRESENTATION OF MEETING AS REQUIRED BY THE CITY AND CITY APPROVAL TO A PHASE BUDGET, THE SITE ONE PACKAGE WILL BE COMPLETE BY DECEDECEMBE, 2023.

PHASE TWO DELIVERABLES WILL BE FULL DESIGN CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND BIDDING SUPPORT AND THAT WILL BE DONE BY MAY 3, 2024. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE SHANE HOWARD AND DALE CLARK FROM BURDETTE THAT WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH A PRESENTATION OF THE PARK REDESIGN.

>> THANK YOU JEFF, THANK YOU MAYOR COUNCIL.

A LITTLE BIT OF CLARIFICATION ON THE SITE DRAWINGS FOR DECEMBER.

WHEN WE MET RECENTLY WITH JAMES AND JEFF.

ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND NEEDS THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING GET INTO CONSTRUCTION BY DECEMBER IT IS A LARGE PROJECT.

WE WILL HAVE EARLY SITE PACKAGES THAT WILL BE READY.

WE DON'T WANT TO LEAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT ALL OF THIS WILL BE READY TO BREAK GROUND. YOU WILL HAVE THINGS THAT WE CAN PRIORITIZE TO BREAK GROUND IN DECEMBER WHILE WE FINISH UP THE REST OF THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION.

>> WITH THE FUTURES WOULD STAY OPEN AND THE REST OF IT.

>> SOME OF THE PHASING ONCE WE BREAK GROUND THAT'S ONE OF THE

[02:20:03]

SHUTDOWN WOULD HAVE TO OCCUR. >> JUST TO RECALL I KNOW SOME OF YOU WERE NOT ON THE COUNCIL YET. THIS IS OVERALL MASTER PLAN THAT THE PARKS BOARD APPROVED AND WE PRESENTED IN JANUARY.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE CENTER OF THE DRAWING YOU WILL SEE THE WIGGLY BLUE LINE THAT REPRESENTS A 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN EVERYTHING TO THE RIGHT/EAST IS 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN, EVERYTHING TO THE LEFT IS OUTSIDE OF THE 100 YEAR. THIS IS ESSENTIAL FOR THINGS SUCH AS THE RESTROOM AND IT FOR ANY REASON OTHER ENCLOSED STRUCTURES WERE REQUESTED THAT NEEDED TO BE BUILT FROM THE WEST SIDE OF THE LINE. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS A DOT ISN'T

IT? >> HERE YOU SEE THE UPDATED RESTROOM THAT IS PROPOSED FOR THE SPARK.

WE HAD TO PUT IT HERE PREFERENTIALLY WE WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO BE OVER HERE AND I THINK A LOT OF YOU EXPRESSED THE SAME CONCERN, THIS IS ABOUT AS CLOSE AS WE CAN GET TO THE LINE WITHOUT PUTTING IN THE 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN.

THAT IS A CONSIDERATION THAT WE BRING INTO PLAY.

SOME OF THE MAJOR FEATURES AND WILL TRY TO BE CONCISE I KNOW THIS IS A LONG MEETING AND YOU HAVE OTHER AGENDA ITEMS.

>> THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME. LET ME ASK HAS THIS BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL ALREADY SO THIS MASTER PLAN IS WHAT WERE

GOING WITH? >> IT IS NOT BEEN APPROVED.

>> I DO NOT SEE A POOL. THERE IS MINE AND YOU GO AHEAD

AND I'LL STOP WHENEVER. >> FOR YOUR NOTIFICATION COUNCIL MEMBER, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE DIRECTED LAST FALL TO DO WAS TO MAKE FRITZ THE FLAGSHIP PARK FOR THE CITY OF HUTTO.

TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE AND USABLE AVENUES A WEEK, 365 DAYS A YEAR AND FOR ALL AGE GROUPS TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.

FOR NOT JUST TO BE A SMALL PLAYGROUND OR SOMETHING WHERE ONE COMMUNITY EVENT COULD TAKE PLACE.

JAMES DIRECTED US TO MAKE THIS A ROBUST PARK THAT HAD REAL USAGE AND A DESTINATION PARK FOR THE CITY AS A FLAGSHIP AND ALSO A DESTINATION PARK WITHIN THE AREA AS A WHOLE.

WITH THAT SAID THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN THE PARK AND THERE WERE CERTAIN PROGRAM NEEDS THAT THE GRANT THAT YOU HAVE WITH TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE REQUIRES US TO BUILD. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE DID WAS LOOK AT EXPANDED PARKING AND YOU WILL SEE THAT TO THE EAST. GETTING AND GETTING TREEPLANTING INTO THIS WAS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AS WELL.

CLOSE TO 300 NEW TREES AND WERE TALKING 45-GALLON LARGER TREES

GOING IN AND ONE OF THE THINGS. >> MS. HOLLAND.

>> MS. HOLLAND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, NOT ONLY WILL WE BRING YOU CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION FOR YOUR PLANTINGS THERE WILL BE UPKEEP AND MAINTENANCE DIRECTIVES THAT GO WITH THIS TO PROVIDE THIRD-PARTY LATER ON FOR KEEPING THOSE AND MAINTAIN FOR THEM TO GROW BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES YOU'LL SEE PLANTINGS GOING AND THEY'RE NOT MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND THEY'RE NOT ET CETERA. THAT OF THE INCLUDED IN WHAT WE

DO. >> SENT SHE MENTIONED THERE IS AN URBAN FOREST OR THAT IS HERE THAT WILL GIVE ADVICE FOR THE PLAN AND A WETLAND SCIENTIST AND THEN YOU HAVE GOT.

>> ALL THE INDIVIDUALS ARE ON OUR STAFF.

>> THEN YOU HAVE A PLANNER FORRESTER.

I WANT TO MENTION THAT. YOU KNOW MY LADY.

THAT IS GOOD STUFF. >> COMING INTO THE PARK THE MAIN ENTRANCE INTO THE PARK, THE PRIMARY PROMENADE THE PROJECT MANAGER ON THIS WILL SHOW YOU THE RENDERINGS AND WANTED TO ADD SOME CONTEXT AND THE MAIN THAT TERMINATES AT THE EXISTING PAVILION THAT YOU HAVE A RENOVATED NEW RESTROOM HAS JUST IMPROVED. WE ARE PROPOSING A SPLASH PAD AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT THE GRANT REQUIRED AS WELL.

[02:25:01]

SIDE. >> WITH THAT HAVE LIGHTS ON IT.

WE JUST GOT THROUGH THE WHOLE ORDEAL WITH SOME STUDENTS WANTING TO GET LIGHTS ADDED TO A BASKETBALL COURT, WITHOUT HAVE

LIGHTS ON IT. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> COUNCILMAN THOMPSON THEY HAVE LIGHTS ON THEM RIGHT NOW.

>> THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY? >> 'S THEY MIGHT MODIFY BASED ON THE STRUCTURE THAT GOES OVER THE TOP.

BUT IT WOULD BE LIT. ALL THE TRAILS THAT YOU SEE THROUGH HERE, BOLLARD LIGHTING INCORPORATING DARK SKIES, ALL OF THE BEST PRACTICES WOULD BE IN THIS AS WELL AS WELL AS THE SAFETY LIGHTING. I THINK WE DISCUSSED THAT IN JANUARY DURING A PRESENTATION AS WELL.

WE ARE PROPOSING A LARGE LAKE AND POND SYSTEM THAT WOULD HAVE FOUND TO MAKE SURE IT CIRCULATES IS TAKING PLACE AND IT DOESN'T

BECOME A STAGNANT POOL. >> WOULD BE STOCKED WITH FISH

QUESTIONING. >> THAT WILL BE A DISCUSSION IN A POLICY QUESTION MORE THAN A LESS THAN A DESIGN.

>> I WOULD LIKE FISH. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING AND I BELIEVE WITH THE PARK BOARD WE WILL BE SLOPING THIS IN SUCH A WAY WHERE POSSIBLE AND FENCING OFF THE DECORATIVE FENCING WITH CERTAIN AREAS FOR SAFETY AND YOU DON'T WANT A CLIFF GOING INTO THE WATER WHERE YOU GO FROM THE EDGE AND SUDDENLY 4 FEET OF WATER.

OUR CIVIL ENGINEER WORKING WITH DELL AND THE TEAM WILL BE FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE SAFETY IS INCLUDED WITH THAT.

IN ADDITION TO THE PARKING AREA WE HAVE A COUPLE OF SPOTS HERE WERE THERE IS DISCUSSION ABOUT A DOG PARK THAT COULD FIT IN, A PUMP TRACK THOSE ARE COMPLETELY OPTIONAL THINGS THAT CAN BE DECIDED THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS.

QUITE FRANKLY CAN BE DECIDED LATER BECAUSE THEY COME FAIRLY WILL TALK USAGE AND DON'T TAKE AS LONG TO DESIGN DON'T HAVE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DESIGN COMPONENTS TO THEM.

ON THE WEST SIDE TO PLAYGROUNDS, AND FOR THE OLDER KIDS AS WELL WITH LOTS OF TREE COVER, THE TRAIL SYSTEM THAT CIRCULATES AROUND INCLUDING QUIET AREAS BOTH FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GET OUT AND WALK AND SIT IN A QUIET SPOT WITH A COUPLE PLANTED AREAS AS WELL BUT ALSO AUTISTIC CHILDREN GIVING THEM OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS THE PLAYGROUNDS BUT BEING ABLE TO GET TO QUIET SPACE TO GET SOME DOWNTIME BUT NOT HAVE TO BE SEGREGATED FROM EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON. THERE IS A WAY TO DO GOOD INCLUSIVE DESIGN THAT ACCOMMODATES DIFFERENT NEEDS FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT IT HAVING TO BE SO SEPARATED THAT YOU'RE NOT ENGAGED AT ALL. I'M GOING TO ASK DALE TO COME UP. WE PUT SOME OF THIS INTO 3D AND DO SOME RENDERINGS FOR YOU WHAT I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK OF IS THIS. EACH OF THESE THINGS THESE ARE THE MAJOR ELEMENTS THEIR SPECIFIC PLACEMENT, THE TRAIL PATHWAY, ET CETERA THAT GIVES FINALIZED AND SOMATIC DESIGN.

THERE ARE SPECIFIC REQUESTS THAT YOU HAVE FOR ADJUSTMENTS AND NUMBERS OF TREES AND SHAPES AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN WORK OUT AND SOMATIC DESIGN IT DOESN'T NEED TO GO THROUGH A WHOLE ROUND OF MASTER PLANNING THAT IS ADDITIONAL MONEY IN TIME THAT DOESN'T BENEFIT.

THURSDAY MADDOCK WE HAVE MULTIPLE REVIEW PROCESSES.

IF ONE NEEDS TO BE AN UPDATED PLAN TO THE CITY COUNCIL WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN VERY, VERY EASILY.

IT'S UP TO 10 REVIEWS THOMAS MADDOCK DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT WHEN WERE GETTING IN HEAVILY INTO ENGINEERING AND FOR DURING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS IN THE COST ESTIMATE IN EACH OF THE THREE PIECES AS WELL SO THERE ARE MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES WITH

DESIGN WISE. >> ONE OF THE PIECES OF FEEDBACK THAT I SAW FROM THE COMMUNITY THE IMAGERY IS A LITTLE PHALLIC AND ON THE OVERHEAD VIEWS. THERE'S PROBABLY A MILLION WAYS TO CORRECT THAT VERY EASILY AND CHANGE THE SHAPES.

ONCE IT'S ON GOOGLE MAPS PEOPLE WILL POINT THAT OUT.

>> WE RESPECT THAT. >> ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO

[02:30:03]

BREAK THAT. >> IS VERY EASY TO BE DONE.

>> I'M WAY FAR AWAY. >> ANGELA DO YOU NEED TO DO T

THAT. >> SHE'S LIKE ME WERE LOOKING AT THE PICTURE TO SEE WHERE THEY SOUGHT.

I DON'T SEE IT. >> THAT SOME OF THE MOST

FASCINATING FEEDBACK. >> I HEARD IT FROM MULTIPLE

PEOPLE. >> IT DIDN'T CROSS MY MIND AND

ONCE THEY SAY IT. >> DAN IS TRYING TO KEEP YOUR

REPUTATION CLEAN. >> I WOULD PRESENT HIM.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER THORTON. >> WILL.

>> WHERE'S WALDO. >> IF ANYBODY NEEDS THE WORD OF

THE DAY PHALLIC. >> I DON'T SEE IT.

>> THERE WE GO. >> AT THE OTHER DIRECTION AND GO

BACKWARDS. >> WE WANT TO DO THREE-DIMENSIONAL OVERVIEWS OF WHAT IT IS.

I THINK THINGS CAN CHANGE SO DON'T GET HUNG UP ON COLORS OR BENCHES, GOD MAKES A LOT OF TREES WE WILL FIND WHAT WORKS MY MAIN GOAL TO MAKE SURE WHAT'S GOING TO LIVE.

HERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW OF PERHAPS A SMALL STAGE AREA.

AGAIN ON A SYNTHETIC LAWN SO YOU CAN SEE SHADE COVERINGS IN THE BACK OF THE PICTURE THAT WOULD CAST A SHADOW.

I'M SURE YOU BEEN OUT THERE TO CONCERTS AND THAT TYPE OF THING.

AND TO GET UNDER THE SHADE OF THE PAVILIONS WERE TRYING TO EMPHASIZE THAT WITH NEW SHADE COVERS.

THIS WILL BE A RECTANGULAR GREEN LAWN THAT KIDS CAN RUN OVER WITH SYNTHETIC TURF, YOU CAN RUN UP AND DOWN AND OPPORTUNITY LIKE BOCCE BALL AND JANE GOT IN THAT TYPE OF THING MORE FAMILY ORIENTED TO THE CENTER OF THE COURT.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SPLASH PAD THAT WILL BE SHADED.

TRY TO GET AS MUCH SHADE AS WE CAN BUT THE SPLASH PAD WE WOULD TRY TO GET THE WATER AND MAKE IT GO INTO THE LAKE.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO WASTE THE WATER WE WILL USE IT TO WATER THE PLANTS AND TREES AND KEEP THEM ALIVE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR WATER AGAIN. HERE IS THE PLAYGROUNDS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON TO SIZES THE 5 - 12 AND 2 - 5 WE SEPARATE THE SO THEY CAN PLACE SAFELY AND ALL WILL BE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.

THIS IS A PLAZA DROP OFF. WE WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE PLAN BOFA LONG VIEW OF THE LAKE AND OTHER ACTIVITIES AROUND IT.

AS WE ENTER INTO THE PARK THERE IS A LOT OF PLACES FOR BENCHES, SHADE FOR TREES AND YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAINLINE THE WATERPARK ACCESS WOULD BE A MAJOR FEATURE. ADDITIONAL PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE WE CROSS OVER THE LAKE TO GET BACK INTO THE PAVILION INTO THE BASKETBALL COURTS INTO THE SHOW LAWN.

A SMALL AREA BEHIND THE PAVILION WE WANT TO CREATE SPACES THAT EVERY BUNCHES AND WE ALSO WANT SPACES WHERE I SIT AND PONDER AND READ A BOOK AND I DON'T HAVE TO BE WATCHING ALL THE KIDS AND HEARING THEM SCREAM AND GET AWAY AND ENJOY NATURE ITSELF.

HERE IS THE ESSENTIAL COURT AGAIN WE CAN DO CAFÉ LIGHTS, BOCCE BALL, PLENTY OF SEATING. DO YOU WANT TO JUMP INTO BUDGETS

AT ALL? >> HAVE A QUESTION ON THE RENDERING. THE BIG OPEN SPACE.

IS THERE ANY IDEA PUTTING IN COVERED PICNIC TABLES.

THAT IS A BIG OPEN SPACE. >> LET'S GO BACK TO THE PLAN VIEW THAT MIGHT HELP. IT IS.

A LOT. SOME OF THIS IS DRIVEN BY BUDGET CONSTRAINTS. WE CAN CREATE MORE SHADE OPPORTUNITY. FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU SEE A.

IN THE CORNER THIS IS A COVERED SHADE AREA WITH A SMALL PAVILION AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE FOOD COURT AREA AND OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH FOOD TRUCKS AND THIS WOULD BE ONE THAT WE ENVISION HAVING A LOT OF SHADE WITH PICNIC TABLES AND THINGS

[02:35:01]

THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS MAKE A FEW TRADE-OFFS HERE THERE WITH CERTAIN THINGS AND WHERE TO KEEP THE BUDGET. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WILL DO THROUGH SOMATIC IS LOOK AT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO YOU HAVE SOME ADD ALTERNATES IF FOR SOME REASON HEARING MATT TALK ABOUT A PROJECT COMING IN UNDER BUDGET THAT'S THE FIRST WE HEARD CONSTRUCTION BUDGETS COMMON IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

IF WE GET LUCKY ONE OF THE THINGS WE TRY TO DO IS PUT IN AD ALTERNATES THAT NUMBER ONE INCENTIVIZE CONTRACTORS TO TRY TO COMPETE AND YOU CAN OCCASIONALLY GET SOME STUFF OR IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SOME TRADE-OFFS AT LEAST TWO EARLY HAVE THE PRICE AND YOU CAN MAKE THE CHOICE AT THE TIME.

>> OKAY. I'M JUST THINKING WITH THE TWO LITTLE PROGRAMS ON THE LEFT S SIDE.

IF A MOTHER IS HAVING HER KIDS PLAY AT THE PARK OVER THERE YOU KNOCKING TO WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE PAVILION TO SIT THERE IN THE SHADE OR HAVE LUNCH. YOU WANT SOMETHING CLOSE.

SO I FEEL WE MISSED IF I DIDN'T ASK FOR MORE PICNIC TABLES.

>> IS A TREES MATURE AS WELL THEY WILL BE NATIVE TO THE AREA.

BUT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO BE SHADE TREES BUT THERE WILL BE A GROWTH PERIOD OF TIME SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE WHILE.

WE MAY HAVE TO DO MORE ARTIFICIAL SHADE OPPORTUNITIES EARLY ON THEN WHAT IS ANTICIPATED.

>> COOL. >> OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?

>> IS YOUR PRESENTATION DONE CUSTOMER I THOUGHT YOU WERE

GETTING INTO -- >> I THOUGHT THERE WAS MORE BUT

THEN HE STOPPED. >> I APOLOGIZE FOR THE SMALL FONT. THE RIGHT COLUMN I THINK IT'S EASIER ON YOUR MONITORS. THE BUDGET THAT WE PUT TOGETHER LAST FALL THAT THIS CURRENT MASTER PLAN MATCHES TO I WANT TO SAY TO 10 TOTAL PROJECT COST NOT JUST CONSTRUCTION COST.

IT IS INCLUSIVE OF EVERYTHING. 10.8 MILLION OF WHICH WE'VE GOT ESCALATION WHEN WE DID THIS IT WAS FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR END ESCALATION COSTS WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT THIS SHOWS BUT THIS IS A HIGH LEVEL CONCEPT AT THIS STAGE, SCHEMATIC DESIGN IS WHERE WE WILL START TO GET THE STONE DOWN AND WILL HAVE A PROFESSIONAL COST ESTIMATOR ON HER TEAM AS WELL THAT WILL PROVIDE THE THREE COST ESTIMATES THROUGHOUT AND WE WILL MAKE SOME CHOICES EVEN BEFORE WE GET TO THE INTO SCHEMATIC DESIGN TO KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR VALUE ENGINEERING AND WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO BRING WITH HER CHOICES TO MAKE.

OR IF WE HAVE TO GO WITH THE PHASE TO LOOK AT THIS AS WELL.

THIS IS WHERE WE WOULD MAKE THE CHOICES TO POTENTIALLY PHASE A PROJECT IF IT ENDS UP COMING IN IF IT ENDS UP BEING MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO AFFORD AT THAT POINT.

>> I DON'T THINK YOU MENTIONED WERE THE ORIGINAL BUDGET CONSTRAINTS CAME FROM, YOU MIGHT WANT TO SHARE THAT.

>> THE ORIGINAL BUDGET CONSTRAINTS CAME FROM STAFF BASED ON THE MODEL THAT THEY WERE LOOKING TO ACHIEVE FOR THE SPARK IN A FINANCE PERSPECTIVE WITHIN THE OVERALL PARK CIP AND THE OTHER PARKS TO FIT WITH T THIS.

>> THE END? >> THAT'S ALL FOLKS.

>> I DON'T WANT TO OPEN IT UP FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION.

>> THAT DOES CONCLUDE. I APOLOGIZE.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE MORE QUESTIONS.

>> THERE MAY BE MORE. >> THANK YOU.

QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL OR DISCUSSION?

>> IS THE FIRST OF THE AUTHORIZATION OF THE RENDERING IS WHAT WE WANT AS THE FIRST UP GOING BACK TO UPDATE TO THE RENDERING. WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP TO GET

SOME STEAM ON THE PROJECT. >> WHAT ARE THE PHASES LOOK LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD BREAK IT DOWN INTO PHASES DO WE HAVE THAT

[02:40:01]

LISTED. >> THOSE ARE IN THE TASK OF THE DESIGN PHASES AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS IN THE TASK

ORDER THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. >> WHERE DO WE START.

>> THE FIRST TO BE SOMATIC DESIGN WHERE WE TAKE THE MASTER PLAN AND WE PUT REAL DEFINITION OF A SURVEY DONE AT THE

PROPERTY. >> WE HAVE TO AGREE ON THE

MASTER-PLANNED. >> NOT NECESSARILY.

THIS IS ENOUGH TO GET US INTO SOMATIC DESIGN.

>> OKAY. >> YOU'RE NOT SAYING ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND ALL THOSE THINGS AND NOTHING ELSE AND WE DON'T WHAT TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS.

WHAT WE WOULD DO IS FOLLOW YOUR DIRECTION, STAFF DIRECTION DURING SCHEMATIC DESIGN OF HERE DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO TO DIRECT US TO MAKE THE TWEAKS. DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE TWEAKS, DO YOU WANT PARK BOARD TO SEE THE TWEAKS.

>> WHEN YOU MENTIONED CONSTRUCTION STARTING IN DECEMBER BUT WHAT PART OF THAT, WHAT WOULD YOU THIS IS A REQUEST MADE BY STAFF TO TRY TO GET SOME THINGS MOVING ALONG TO GET GROUND BROKEN. WHAT WE COULD REALISTICALLY GET READY FOR SUCH MOVEMENT WOULD BE THE EARLY SITE WORK THAT WOULD BE DIGGING UP THE LAKE PONS AND POTENTIALLY THE EXPANDED PARKING AS WELL AND WE WOULD NOT WANT TO MESS WITH YOUR EXISTING PARK INITIALLY BUT THE EXPANDED PARKING AREA WOULD PROBABLY BE AN EARLY OPPORTUNITY ON THE SITE PACKAGE ALONG WITH THE POND AND SOME OF THE THINGS ON THE SIDE ON THE OVERALL PROJECT.

>> THE COVER ON THE BASKETBALL COURT.

>> POTENTIALLY STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING TO PLAY ON THAT AND IT DEPENDS ON HOW FAST WE WOULD TURN THAT AROUND THE CIVIL WOULD BE AN EASIER THING TO TURN AROUND WITH THE ONE CAVEAT IF WE RUN INTO DEPENDING ON HOW WE DO THE POND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PERMITTING WITH TC Q AND PERMITTING WITH THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO CONTEMPLATE. IT DEPENDS ON THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE POND AND WHEN WE GET THE SURVEY DONE IN THE GEOTECHNICAL DONE WE WILL HAVE MORE TOPO AND WILL KNOW WHAT CAPACITY TO GET OUT OF THE POND AND WHAT THE SHAPE CAN BE AND

WHAT IT SHOULD BE AS WELL. >> I WANT TO ADDRESS MS. FOWLER'S CONCERN ABOUT THE LUTHERAN CHURCH AND THE THREE PROPERTIES OF BACKUP, ONCE CONSTRUCTION STARTS HOW ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO QUARTER OFF THE AREA TO WHERE IT'S NOT IMPEDING

ON THE HOUSES OR THE CHARGE. >> DURING THE DESIGN PHASE WE'VE BEEN CONSCIOUS OF THE CHURCH IN THE SLIVER GOING ON FIVE YEARS AND THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN AWARE OF SO WILL MAKE SURE TO DESIGN AROUND THAT AND WORKING WITH JESS AND THE CHURCH THERE IS WAYS WE CAN ADDRESS THAT IN DESIGN.

THERE IS A MILLION DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED AND DURING CONSTRUCTION WITH THE SPECIFICATION AND THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS IT WILL BE PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT OF WHAT THEY HAVE TO CORDON OFF WITH THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY HAS TO CORDON OFF AND THAT CAN BE SPECIFICALLY HIGHLIGHTED THAT THEY CAN'T BLOCK IT AND THEY NEED TO COORDINATE OFF ET CETERA ET CETERA.

IN SCHEMATIC DESIGN WILL DEAL WITH HOW WE WANT THIS TO FUNCTION ACTORS CONSTRUCTED IN DESIGN ACCORDINGLY AND WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS THAT THOSE SPECIFICALLY DIRECT THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY TO NOT USE THAT AS AN ENTRY UNLESS THEY HAVE DIRECT PERMISSION AND THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO DRAW OFF THE BY SAFETY AND THE USE OF RESOURCE CENTER AND THE USE OF CITIZENS WITH FOOD THAT GO TO THE FOOD PANTRY, THAT'S GOING TO BE IN AND OUT. IS THERE CURRENTLY A FENCE OR

ANYTHING, IT'S WIDE OPEN. >> THERE IS NO PERIMETER THERE IS SIGNAGE ON THEIR PROPERTY SEVERAL SIGNS THAT SAY NO PARK ACCESS. SO WE'VE DONE THAT IN A SEPARATE INTEREST COMING OFF OF CREEKSIDE THEY CAN ENTER INTO BUT THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE OFF OF LIVE OAK.

>> WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST WITH OTHER CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT THE SIGNS DON'T REALLY MEAN NOTHING AREA WHO WOULD ENFORCE

THAT? >> MY OFFICE IS RIGHT THERE IN THE CHURCH AND I HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP.

>> IF I HAVE TO ALL STAND OUT THERE.

>> WE WILL USE THE FENCING AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL NOT ONLY FOR THE CHURCH BUT OTHER NEIGHBORS WE HAVE TO CONSIDER AS WELL ALONG THE WHOLE PARK WE HAVE TO FENCE THE WHOLE PARK ALL THE WAY DOWN

[02:45:01]

TO CREEKSIDE DRIVE. >> DON'T BE MESSING WITH THE LORD'S CHURCH, DON'T BE DOING NOTHING.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING THE LONG-TERM SOLUTION.

THEY WILL GET A LOT MORE BUSINESS AND A LOT MORE FOLKS.

A LONG-TERM SOLUTION TO GET THEM TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.

>> AS FAR AS? >> THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT. RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM UNLESS IT'S A LARGE COMMUNITY EVENT.

DURING THE PERMITTING PROCESS THEY'RE INSTRUCTED NOT TO USE AS AN ENTRANCE AND NOT PERMISSIBLE AND WE DO OUR PART TO COMMUNICATE THAT IS NOT A WAY IN.

>> OKAY GOOD. THE IDEA TO KEEP THE STUFF AROUND THE PROPERTIES IS MORE QUIET ZONE OF THE PARK SO WERE NOT INVITING PEOPLE TO GO UP THERE AND REFLECTING THOSE

NOISES INTO THEIR BACKYARDS. >> THAT'S A GOOD POINT I DID SEE HOW THOSE OF THE QUIET AREAS. THANK YOU FOR THE GET ABOUT T

THEM. >> TO ANSWER YOUR FULL QUESTION ABOUT WHAT ARE THE PHASES AND WE WENT ELSEWHERE.

THE DESIGN PROCESS OF SOMATIC DESIGN WHERE WE TWEAK THINGS LIKE THIS AND WE HAVE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THE END OF SOMATIC DESIGN YOU HAVE THE FULL SET MASTER PLAN IN THE SURVEY, GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING AND ALL THAT TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE WILL BE OTHER ASSESSMENTS ON THE SITE AS WELL.

THEN WE GOING TO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT WHERE WE HAVE A DEFINED BUDGET, THE PROGRAM IS DEFINED AND WE DIG INTO THE ENGINEERING SPECIFICALLY IN THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS IN THE MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING AND WE MOVE INTO CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. DURING DESIGN DEVELOPMENT WE DO ANOTHER COST ESTIMATE BY THE WAY SO WERE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REFINE THAT AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE WHERE WE GET THE DRAWINGS FOR CONSTRUCTION IN THE SPECIFICATION ALL DONE AND FOR EACH OF THOSE AND WITH STAFF AND WHOMEVER ELSE STAFF INSTRUCTS US TO MEET WITH ESPECIALLY DURING SOMATIC SUCH AS YOURSELF IN THE PARKS BOARD. THERE IS 10 REVIEWS OF DRAWINGS AND DELIVERABLES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DESIGN PROCESS.

IN ADDITION TO THE BACK-AND-FORTH WITH STAFF AND WE ALSO MEET WITH POLICE, FIRE AND ALL YOUR PERMIT REVIEW REQUIREMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS AND EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO REVIEW AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE TURN IS CORRECT AND ACCESS FOR POLICE AND FIRE AND WE MEET WITH THE IT DEPARTMENT AS WELL AND WERE MAKING SURE WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AFTER ET CETERA ET CETERA READ AFTER CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS YOU GO OUT TO BID FOR CONTRACTORS AND WERE STILL AROUND WERE CALL CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION AND WAS BEING BUILT IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE DRAWING IN YOUSENDIT CONTRACTOR TO ACTUALLY BID AND OBSERVATION REPORTS AS OUR SUB CONSULTING ENGINEERS OF THEIR PARTICULAR COMPONENTS IN ET CETERA FOR THE PAGE CONTRACTORS AND A RECOMMENDATION FOR PAYMENT AND ALL OF THAT. DOES THAT HELP A LITTLE BIT.

>> THAT'S PERFECT. >> WAS A TOTAL TIMELINE.

>> WE WILL HAVE FULL CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS READY FOR BED AND OUT THE DOOR NO LATER THAN MAY 3 OF NEXT YEAR THAT COULD BE SOONER DEPENDING ON REVIEW PERIODS.

WE TIME BUDGET FOR EACH DRAWING SET REVIEW THERE IS 10 OF THOSE AND 20 OF THOSE WEEKS RIGHT THERE.

THERE IS OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRUNCATING THAT DOWN AND BRIDGING THAT QUITE A BIT. WE HAVE GOOD COMMUNICATION WITH STAFF THAT ARE FAMILIAR WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE DOING AND IMPROVING A LOT OF THE SYSTEMS ALREADY AND PROCESSES.

THAT IS BECOMING A LITTLE BIT EASIER ALSO.

I THINK I SHOULD GO FAIRLY SMOOTHLY.

>> HOW LONG IS THE QUICKEST THOSE DOCUMENTS COULD BE

APPROVED. >> BASICALLY A CONTRACTOR TO BREAK GROUND ON. WHAT WE WILL DO AND WHAT WERE OPERATING ON FOR RIGHT NOW IS EARLY ASSUMPTION THAT YOU WILL WANT AN EARLY SITE DESIGN PACKAGE TO BE AVAILABLE BY DECEMBER SO THOSE COULD BE BREAK GROUND.

THAT WOULD BE ISSUED UNDER A SEPARATE CONTRACT OR YOU WENT AHEAD AND HIRED A CONTRACTOR FOR THE FULL THING AND ISSUE TASK

[02:50:02]

>> OKAY, I GET THAT. MY BIG THOUGHT I WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS BUT I WANT I O SEE MORE THAT WILL SAVE MONEY AND TIME IN LONG ITEMS WITH SPLASH PAD PUMPS AND HAVING THAT SEE MARK IF YOU'RE WANTING TO GET IT DONE TO GET TO A FINAL DESIGN TO GET TO THE PROCESS IF THEY HAVE BEEN SOLVED FROM THE

BEGINNING. >> THEY WILL BE THERE FROM THE BEGINNING AND ALLOW THEM THE TASK FORCE READY TO START ON

THAT. >> THE BENEFIT WITH THE CMA ARE IS A NECESSITY AND THEY WILL BREAK IT UP INTO MULTIPLE PACKAGES WITH EARLY SITE WORK AND EVERYTHING ELSE FOLLOWS IN MAY SO YOU CAN HAVE IT UNDER ONE GENERAL CONTRACTOR IN THAT WAY YOU CAN IMPROVE IT IN A TASK ORDER AND YOU GET THE PACKAGE DONE AND YOU HAVE A CONTRACTOR FOR YOUR SECOND PIECE AS WELL AND THEY DO GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AND THEY ARE THE ONES TAKING ON THE RISK FOR THAT BUT THERE PROVIDING THE COST ESTIMATING AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTIBILITY REVIEWS AND ADVICE IT COULD BE A GOOD PROCESS AND IT COULD BE DONE SOONER WHILE WE HAVE MULTIPLE PACKAGES.

>> WHEN STAFF COMES TO YOU IF WE GO TO THE BOW OF MULTIPLE PACKAGES WE WILL 100% APPLAUD THAT YOU LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH WHOMEVER YOU SELECTED AND PARTICIPATE IN SELECT AS WELL.

IF YOU GET RFQ'S BACK IN FOR THOSE.

>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF NOTES. FIRST TALKING ABOUT PARKS ITEMS ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR. AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS A DISCUSSION. I DIDN'T GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE ITEM WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BUILD A PARK, WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BUILD A POOL, A SENIOR CENTER, REC CENTER, THAT TYPE OF THING AND ALL WE FOCUSED ON IS THE FLAGSHIP PART IS WHAT STAFF IS DIRECTED VIEW TO DO. I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK BUT I DO WONDER FORGET TO SPEND 10 MILLION FROM A PRIORITY STANDPOINT WHAT DOES THE PUBLIC WANT.

WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IN STAFF IS NOT PRESENTED WITH THE PUBLIC FIELD BASED IN THE SURVEY AND WHAT DID THEY FEEL LIKE ABOUT PARKS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE MARKED HERE. THE TOP THREE ITEMS WERE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON MAJOR ROAD AND HIGHWAYS.

FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON CITY STREETS. MAINTENANCE OF CITY STREETS.

WATER UTILITY SERVICES. IN PARKS TRAILS OF FACILITIES CAME IN AT 20%. THE OTHER ONES WERE 59, 46.

ONE THING THE SURVEY DID NOT INCLUDE ALL BY CHOICE OR AN ACCIDENT ALL THE OTHER ITEMS ON A BOND PACKAGE OF $50 MILLION BOND PACKAGE. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE SPARK, OTHER PARKS, POOL, REC CENTER, SENIOR CENTER AND THE FIRST THING THAT WE ARE DOING I FEEL A BEING PUSHED TO MAKE A DECISION ON $110 MILLION EXPENDITURE AND WE HAVE AS A PUBLIC WHAT YOU WANT US TO SPEND 10 MILLION ON MORE ON ROADS? AT SOME POINT WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF MONEY AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND ASK OUR CONSTITUENTS WE NEED YOU TO APPROVED MORE MONEY FOR MORE ROADS AND PARKS OR WHATEVER.

THEY PUT IN HERE THAT THE PARKS TRAILS AND RECREATION FACILITIES AND 49% OF PEOPLE WERE SATISFIED OR VERY SATISFIED.

29% WERE NEUTRAL AND 23% WERE DISSATISFIED OR VERY DISSATISFIED. AND OUT OF QUESTION 27 THERE WAS NO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING THE OUTDOOR SPLASH PAD THIS APPEARS TO BE WHAT SOME PEOPLE WANTED WITH THE POOL AND THE REC CENTER IN THE SENIOR CENTER WASN'T IN THERE.

>> THE DOG PARK WAS ON THEIR. >> I LOOK AT THIS A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF NIGHT THING WE OUGHT TO BE LOOKING IN TERMS OF WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO BUILD A POOL IN HUTTO? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO BUILD THE SENIOR CENTER, RECREATION CENTER AND WITH THAT INFORMATION.

THIS TYPE OF EFFORT FOR THE PARK IS GREAT AND THAT WE CAN TRULY MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT ROUTE WE WANT TO GO AND HAVE THE PUBLIC COME UP AND SAY AYE WOULD RATHER HAVE A FRITZ SPARK OVER A POOL WHIRLPOOL OVER A SENIOR CENTER RECREATION CENTER.

ONE OPTION, OPTION A FOR BIG TICKET ITEMS.

[02:55:02]

I FORGOT WHAT THE WORDING WAS BUT IS JUST A START OF THE PROCESS AND WHAT THE ITEM FOR $1.2 MILLION AND WE GO DOWN THIS ROAD TWO THIRDS OF THE PUBLIC SAY AYE WISH YOU WOULD'VE BUILT THE SENIOR CENTER OR REC CENTER OR A POOL FIRST, PARKS ARE OKAY WE WANT A POOL FIRST, WERE AT 1.2 MILLION INTO.

WITH THAT WHATEVER WE DECIDE TO DO I'M NOT KEEN ON BOCCE BALL BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED OF PARKS IN GENERAL IS UPKEEP. IT LOOKS GREAT THE DAY YOU OPEN BUT THIS LOOKS LIKE 20 - 30 -YEAR-OLDS SO BOCCE BALL WILL NOT BE GOOD WITH EIGHT AND NINE -YEAR-OLDS SO YOU CAN COME BACK ON A SATURDAY MORNING AND THE WHOLE THING IS MESSED UP.

>> THE LAWN AREA IS JUST AN AREA.

>> MY KIDS LOVE BOCCE BALL. JUST SAYING.

MY 8-YEAR-OLD LOVES BOCCE BALL I DON'T THINK THAT'S ACCURATE.

IT'S SUBJECTIVE. >> SOME OF THESE THINGS THE

MAINTENANCE. >> I GET THAT.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COURT TAKES TO KEEP IT UP.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT ALL THESE THINGS IT LOOKS GREAT TO UNDER $50000 A YEAR FOR THE WHOLE PARK, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW THAT IN NO ONE'S TOLD US WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP THIS UP WE'VE JUST BEEN TOLD WHAT IT IS TO BUILD AND JEFF MAY COME APPEARANCE I NEED A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR TO KEEP IT LIKE IT IS IN YOUR LIKE I WOULD NOT OF DONE THIS IF IT'S A MILLION.

IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. I DO UNDERSTAND THE SPLASH PAD WATER CYCLING DOWN INTO SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO IRRIGATE THE GRASS BECAUSE I WOULD HOPE THE SPLASH PAD HAS A CHEMICAL BASIS AND IT. MAYBE THAT'S WHY WE NEED ARBORIST ON SITE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER TODAY. >> I CAN ANSWER THAT.

>> TYPICALLY STAFF IN SOME DEPARTMENTS OFF THE HIP GIVES AN ANSWER AND HAVE TO GO RESEARCH AND FIND OUT.

WHAT I LIKE TO STUDY IF YOU SAY WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE WATER AND WE'RE GOING TO PUMP IT IN NEAR GET EVERYTHING, IS THERE A PLAN TO DO THAT, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AND WHAT IS THE COST OF TREATING THE ADDITIONAL WATER THAT COMES IN.

AGAIN WE MAKE QUICK DECISIONS BUT WERE NOT MAKING LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE AND WE JUST HEARD ABOUT CREEKSIDE THAT WAS $100,000 IN IRRIGATION DRIED UP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED

THERE. >> ALL THOSE TREES ARE DEAD.

>> WHAT DID THE PROPOSITION SAY SPECIFICALLY.

>> THE PROPOSITION IS PRETTY VAGUE SO THEY CAN PRETTY MUCH

FIT. >> IT DID NOT SAY SPECIFICALLY IS SAID AND GIVE THE BROAD STATEMENT OF PARKS.

>> DIDN'T SAY RENOVATION? >> IT DIDN'T SAY RENOVATION.

>> I CAN PULL IT UP. >> COUNCIL MEMBER GORDON.

>> WAS IT $50 MILLION PARK AND RECREATION BOND.

>> IT WAS BROAD LANGUAGE ON THE BALLOT IT'S GOTTA BE BROAD.

IF IT'S SPECIFIC YOU HAVE TO USE IT FOR THAT.

YOU WANTED TO BE BROAD. >> IT DID SAY ON THE BALLOT BUT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING OUT.

>> PROPOSITION C IS CONSTRUCTING AND IMPROVING AND RENOVATING AND DEVELOPING AND EQUIPPING LAND BUILDINGS AND SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR PARKS AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES INCLUDING RENOVATION AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND EXTENSION OF ROADWAY, TRAIL, PARKING OR DRAINAGE AT OR INTEGRATED INTO PARKS IN THE PURCHASE OF ANY NECESSARY RIGHT-OF-WAY AND RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER COST THE PROPOSITION AUTHORIZES THE CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT FOR A RECREATION CENTER AND ATHLETIC FIELDS. IT WAS 50 MILLION PARK AND RECREATION AND ALL FACILITY PROPOSITION C IN 2018.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >> ANOTHER THING I BROUGHT UP IN A COUPLE OF US ON THE COUNCIL HAD AN IDEA NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE SPARK BUT IN GENERAL WE HAVEN'T BROUGHT UP ANYTHING ABOUT SPONSORSHIPS SO THERE ARE OTHER PARKS THAT A LOT OF THE COST IS NOT BORNE BY THE TAXPAYER ACCORDING TO THE SURVEY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE PAYING A LOT IN TAXES IS BORNE BY BUSINESSES FOR WHATEVER REASON FIND IN THE HEART TO DONATE SUMS OF MONEY SO

[03:00:09]

WE HAVE EXPLORED THAT. >> USE OF THE TAXPAYERS FEEL LIKE THEY'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY.

>> ACCORDING TO THE SURVEY ONE OF THE CONCERNS AS OVERALL

TAXES. >> WHAT PART OF THE SURVEY IS

THAT? >> 2022 COMMUNITY SURVEY.

>> WHERE IN THAT DOES IT SAY THAT.

>> I WILL FIND IT. >> I THOUGHT WE GOT FROM STAFF THIS IS NOT ANTICIPATED FOR THE TAX RATE AT ALL?

>> IS NOT ANTICIPATED EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.

THAT'S A PROBLEM COUNCIL MEMBER THORTON AND I HAVE, STAFF KNOWS THEIR GRANITE 10% A YEAR. THEY KEEP IT THE SAME WILL HAPPEN STEER TAXES GO UP 10% A YEAR.

AND IF YOU DON'T SPEND A LARGE SUM OF MONEY YOUR TAX RATE DROPS IN THE BILL DROPS. FOR GOING TO SPEND 10 MILLION HOW DO WE PRIORITIZE THAT INFO TO SPEND 50 MILLION DO WE SPEND 10 MILLION IN THE SPARK AND BUILD ATHLETIC FIELDS AND SPEND 20 MILLION THERE AND GET DONE AND DO WHAT SOME PEOPLE CRITICIZE OTHER GROUPS ABOUT AND SAY WE DIDN'T HAVE MONEY FOR THE REST OF THE STUFF BUT YOU DID GET A FLAGSHIP PARK I'M NOT SAYING WE DON'T DESERVE NICE THINGS I'M JUST SAYING WE BETTER HAVE A BIGGER DISCUSSION ON OVERALL SOMEONE ASKED THE PUBLIC WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE AT A 50 MILLION.

>> THEY ARE READY DID THAT THEY DID THAT IN 2018 AND WE HAVE THE PARKS IN THE RENDERING RIGHT HERE.

WHAT IS A SENSE IN SAYING WE GOT THIS RIGHT HERE THE STREET AROUND TO GO DO SOMETHING ELSE. YOU GOT THIS RIGHT HERE YOU'RE

NOT GOING TO ACT ON IT. >> IF IT'S HELPFUL TO GET SOME OF THE CONCERNS YOU BRING UP, THEY ARE 100% VALID FROM A DESIGN PERSPECTIVE WE ARE CONSCIOUSLY ALWAYS LOOKING AT THAT AS FAR AS WHAT THE CITY DETERMINES AS PRIORITIES WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW WHATEVER DIRECTION WE ARE GIVEN.

>> THAT IS MY CONCERN THAT STAFF GAVE YOU THIS DIRECTION TO GET THE PROCESS STARTED NOT THE CITY COUNCIL.

>> THE PARK ADVISORY BOARD. >> , LET ME CLARIFY IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. WHAT I'M SAYING WE PASSED THE PROGRAM WITH THE PUBLIC AND WE SAID WE GOT 10 THINGS WE'RE GOING TO DO. IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS WERE LEGALLY ABLE TO SELL BONDS AND WE ALREADY USED 8 MILLION FOR STUFF WE COULDN'T SELL IT ON DOES THAT SOUND ABOUT RIGHT?

>> WEIRD HE DONATED A MILLION AND THAT SOMETHING WERE NOT CAN AFFORD. I BELIEVE WE HAVE 41 AND A HALF MILLION LEFT WERE DOWN TO 41 AND A HALF MILLION AND WE HAVEN'T DONE A SINGLE THING. ALL I'M SUGGESTING THAT WE NEVER PRIORITIZE AS A COUNCIL WE COULD GO TO THE PARK WHAT IF EVERYBODY SAYS WHY ARE YOU GUYS DOING THE PARK, WHY ARE YOU GUYS BUILDING A POOL EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT A WRECK CENTER, MEMBER THOMPSON WE ASKED IF WE COULD BUILD ALL THE STUFF WOULD YOU PASS A BOND BUT WHAT WE SAID WHAT PRIORITY DO YOU WANT.

>> YOU JUST. >> THOMPSON HAS A FLOOR.

>> YOU JUST READ A PROCLAMATION THAT TALKED ABOUT THE INCREASED PROPERTY VALUE EXPANSION OF THE LOCAL TAX PACE PROGRAM IN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES YOU JUST READ A PROCLAMATION THAT STATED THIS ABOUT A PARK AND YOU JUST PROCLAIMED THIS MONTH PARK AND RECREATION MONTH AND ON TOP OF THAT THE 2018 BOND HAT MENTIONS ALL THESE THINGS. IT DOESN'T MENTION FRITZ PARK.

LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER KOLAR SAID YOU HAVE TO MAKE ABROAD TO PUT IT ON THE BALLOT. THE CITIZENS HAVE VERY SPOKEN THEY'VE GIVEN YOU WHAT THEY WANT AND YOU PROCLAIMED IN THE CITY.

WE HAVE THE RENDERING I'M NOT SAYING WE JUMP IN HEADFIRST RIGHT NOW BUT I'M SAYING WE HAVE ALL THESE THINGS WORKING IN OUR FAVOR WIRE WE GOING TO PUSH HIS HALF EVEN LONGER SPEE.

>> I WOULD SAY IT'S NOT PUSHING IT OFF IT'S OTHER THINGS TO ADD TO THE CAP IF STAFF DID NOT PROVIDE THAT IN SIX MONTHS TO PROVIDE THAT WHO'S PUSHING THE IS AT THE COUNCIL THAT SAID WHAT DOES THE POOL COST. IF STAFF DOESN'T PROVIDE THAT I

WOULD SAY STAFF IS PRECEDED OFF. >> I NEVER ACCUSED YOU OF PUSHING IT OFF I DECIDE WHY ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS.

>> THE PUBLIC HAS TOLD ME SEVERAL TIMES YOU MAKE A POST

[03:05:01]

I WOULD ARGUE IF YOU PUT A PULLOUT BETWEEN THE THREE AND OUTDOOR POOL WOULD COME IN FIRST AND PROBABLY A WRECK CENTER, SENIOR CENTER WOULD BE SECOND AND FLAGSHIP PART THIRD.

>> OF AN OUTDOOR POOL WOULD COME FIRST WHY DID WE DO THAT LAST YEAR LIKE JUNE OR JULY WHENEVER WE HAD FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT CITIZENS. AND TALK ABOUT THEY WANT TO POOL

AND THEN WE PUSH IT OFF. >> WE ASKED STAFF AND WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE TO BUILD THE POOL.

HERE WE ARE WAITING INSTEAD WE HAVE A FLAGSHIP POOL, JEFF HAS TOLD ME AS LONG AS HE'S WORKING HERE WERE NOT CAN HAVE A POOL MADE FOR SOMEBODY ELSE AND MY RESPONSE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MANAGED BY SOMEBODY ELSE. WE CAN HAVE THE DISCUSSION AS A COUNCIL WHO WE WANT TO MANAGE A POOL AND WHERE WE WANTED AT TIME SUGGESTING FOR ME I'M NOT VOTING FOR ONE ITEM UNTIL THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN ASKED, WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT DONE.

THIS IS WHY I DON'T LIKE BROAD BOND MEASURES BECAUSE THEN

YOU'RE ABLE. >> THAT'S WHERE WE PART WAYS.

I VOTED IN 2018 FOR THAT BECAUSE THE PARKS.

I GUESS IT'S SUBJECTIVE OR WHAT DO YOU THINK OVER ANOTHER.

I VOTED BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE A PARK.

EVERY OTHER CITY AROUND US HAS A PARK.

WE HAVE THE BARE MINIMUM THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN SAID OVER AND OVER.

I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO SPEAK COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK, GO AHEAD.

>> CAN YOU GO BACK AT THE PRESENTATION WHERE WE ASKED THE CITIZENS RIGHT HERE ABOUT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP AND ABOUT THE PARKS AND SO THEY ASKED SPECIFICALLY.

IT WAS NUMBER ONE AND THEY WERE REFERRING TO THE FRITZ PARK, THEY'RE NOT REFERRING TO A SERIAL THING.

IN MY NOT MISTAKEN FROM THE SLIDE.

>> THIS WAS SPECIFICALLY FRITZ PARK.

>> MY POINT YOU SAY NOBODY IN THE COUNCIL OR THE CITY HAS SAID THAT THEY WANT THIS. THAT IS NOT TRUE, THEY WENT OUT AND WE SAID IN THE BUDGET WORKSHOP TO THE PUBLIC TWO DIFFERENT TIMES UNIT RANKED NUMBER ONE FOR THIS ONE AND NUMBER TWO THE CAPITAL TO SPEND THE CAPITAL FOR THIS DEBT FROM THE CITIZENS. THAT WASN'T FROM COUNCIL OR STAFF THAT CAME FROM CITIZENS. WHEN YOU SAY YOU HEAR FROM CITIZENS. WE UPDATED DONE BY THE CITY THAT SAID IT WAS DONE BY THE CITIZENS.

THAT WAS MY ONLY POINT FROM THE PRESENTATION.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER THERE IS ADDITIONAL CONTEXT THAT GOES BACK TO 2018 PRIOR TO THE BOND ISSUE AS WELL, WE WERE HIRED BY THE CITY TO DO MULTIPLE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EXERCISES AND ENGAGE WITH THE PARKS BOARD AT THE CURRENT GENERATION AFFECT POINT IN A WINTER 2019 AND THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT.

POOLS AND RECOGNIZE THE POPULATION IS GROWING SO FAST SOME OF THE DYNAMICS CAN CHANGE BUT WHAT WE WERE HEARING AT THAT POINT IN WHAT WE WERE TOLD BY THE COMMISSION PUT TOGETHER PRIOR TO THE BOND TO COME UP WITH PRIORITIES SO THOSE COULD BE PUT INTO THE BOND WAS THE PARK AND PARKS IN GENERAL WERE HUGE, TRAILS WAS ANOTHER ONE, THE RECREATION COMPONENT THERE WAS A LOT OF CONFLICT AT THAT POINT IF YOU REMEMBER BETWEEN WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH EXISTING LEGACY RECREATION PROGRAMMING INDOOR RECREATION AND WITH THE CITY COULD AND MAY NOT DO THAT WAS SEVERAL COUNCILS AGO AT THIS POINT BUT FOR CONTEXT, FRITZ PARK AND THE PARKS IN GENERAL WERE CERTAINLY A FOCUS ALONG WITH THE TRAILS ASPECT. OF WHAT WENT INTO THE 50 MILLION-DOLLAR BOND, OF COURSE SOME OTHER THINGS WHICH I THINK YOU'RE EXTREMELY FAMILIAR WITH THAT MONEY SHOULD NOT OF BEEN SPENT ON BUT WAS ALSO USED FOR THAT.

THAT WAS A SEPARATE TOPIC. TO ADD SOME CONTEXT THE PARKS AND TRAILS ASPECT WAS A HUGE PIECE OF IT, THE SPLASH PAD WAS A BIG HIT FOR THE KIDS AND THAT'S CONSISTED ACROSS EVERY COMMUNITY WE ARE IN. POOLS ARE ALWAYS POPULAR UNTIL THEY RECOGNIZE THEY GOTTA MAKE OTHER CHOICES UNLESS THE MONEY IS AVAILABLE TO DO THE DAILY IMPACT SORTS OF THINGS RATHER THAN THE SPLASH PAD WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT WITH KIDS AND PAR PARENTS. THEY WILL BE DEDICATED PEOPLE AND AB HARD-CORE USERS IN ONE'S THAT WILL BE ALLOWED FOR AND IT

[03:10:03]

SPEND YOUR MONEY. >> I APPRECIATE THAT I HEAR YOU SAYING. MR. MAYOR I AGREE WITH WHAT DOES THE PUBLIC WANT. I ALSO AGREE COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK. WE DID THE BUDGET SPEED DATING AND WE GOT ALL THE PRIORITIES. I JUST FEEL WHAT WE DON'T HAVE SEPARATE IN THE WANTS FROM THE NEEDS.

SEPARATING THE WANTS FROM THE NEEDS WE HAVE SO MANY NEEDS ARE WE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL ALL OF THEM ARE LOOKING TO STAND IN THE FACE BEFORE WE SELECT WHICH ONE WERE GOING TO GO TO.

WE HAVE SOME THINGS THAT WE WANT WE HAVE A SPLASH PAD AND A RENDERING OF A PARK IN SOMEBODY WILLING TO START THIS PROCESS AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WITH THE POOL.

IT I'M NOT WILLING TO KEEP WAITING ON SOMETHING THIS WAS APPROVED IN 2018 AND I THINK WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH DOING SOMETHING FOR THE CITIZENS. I KNOW WILL PROBABLY HAVE MORE DISCUSSION GOING ON THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION ARE DASHED 2023 E- 1 145 AUTHORIZING TASK ORDER NUMBER 11 WITH BURNETT CONSULTANT FOR FRITZ PARK FOR THE AMOUNT OF 1.2, DO I NEED TO SAY THE ENTIRE? 1,247,771 TO BE PAID FROM THE

PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND. >> I WILL SECOND AND HAVE A FEW

EXTRA COMMENTS. >> IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT

WILL YOU ADD AC MARK. >> I WILL MAKE THAT FRIENDLY

AMENDMENT TO ADD THAT AS WELL. >> A FEW THINGS, A FEW POINTS IN MARCH OR APRIL WE HAD A STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION AND EVERYONE WAS THERE MY THE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS BUT WE DID DECIDE BECAUSE IT WAS VERY INFORMAL AND NO DECISION-MAKING WAS GOING ON. IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK FREELY SO WE HAD TO FIGHT FOR THINGS IN DURING THE STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION WE DID NOT DECIDE BUT WE MADE A STRONG POINT THAT WE NEED TO LOVE ON OUR CURRENT PARKS BECAUSE WE NEED TO IMPROVE THEM AS WERE GROWING AND WE CAN'T TAKE ON EXTRA BURDEN AND WE NEED TO LOVE ON OUR CURRENT PARKS AND IMPROVE THEM AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT IN MAKING FRITZ FLAGSHIP. FROM WHAT I REMEMBER THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION OF THE POOL WHERE REC CENTER DURING THE STRATEGIC PLANNING, THAT WAS NOT ELEVATED SO WE CAN LET STAFF KNOW IT'S ON YOUR RADAR AND NEEDS TO BE IN THE BUDGET AND YOU NEED TO GIVE US SOMETHING SO WE DIDN'T BRING THAT TO THEM.

>> I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT BUT YOU KNOW WHY MERELY DIRECTED STAFF TO BRING BACK COST ESTIMATES FOR THIS FOR THIS

YEAR'S BUDGET FOR THE CIP. >> THAT WAS DONE THIS TIME LAST YEAR IN THE BUDGET PROCESS. THE YMCA CAME UP AND PRESENTED AND WE DECIDED TO HAVE STAFF THAT WAS BEFORE I WAS ON COUNCIL THAT WAS EARLY 2022. I THINK IT WAS A PRIOR PRIOR

BUDGET. >> IT WAS LAST YEAR.

>> WHATEVER IT WAS THAT'S WHY IT WAS BROUGHT UP AND WAITING FOR

PEOPLE TO DO THEIR JOBS. >> A FEW EXTRA POINTS.

IN $201,850,000,000 BOND WAS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS.

8.5 MILLION WAS SPENT, IT'S G GONE.

SAY WE SPENT 10 MILLION ON FRITZ PARK.

WE MAY NOT SPEND 10 MILLION BUT WE HAVE $30 MILLION REMAINING FOR A POOL REC CENTER AND BALLFIELDS, WHATEVER.

WE MAY WANT TO PUT AS HER NEXT PROJECT, ALL ABOUT THE POOL SO THEN WE HAVE $30 MILLION REMAINING AND AN APPROVED BOND SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND ASK THE VOTERS CAN WE GET MORE MONEY BECAUSE IT IS THERE AND WE CAN USE IT BECAUSE IN THE BOND LANGUAGE WE CAN USE IT FOR THESE THINGS.

ALSO IN REGARDS TO THE ITEM THE 1.2 MILLION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN. IT IS BEING PAID FROM THE PARKS IMPROVEMENT FUND ON A SOFTWARE GENERAL FUND.

THIS ACCOUNT HAS $3 MILLION IN IT SO TAKING A MILLION AND SOME CHANGE OUT OF IT IS STILL $2 MILLION, THIS ACCOUNT IS

[03:15:04]

ALSO WHAT DOES THE PUBLIC WANT. THERE ARE SURVEYS, THE COMMUNITY SURVEY WAS OUT IN THE VOTERS IN 2018 WANTED THESE THINGS.

WHAT DOES THE PUBLIC WANT. EACH OF US WERE ELECTED TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR THE PUBLIC. WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT DO COME TO US AND TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT TO ADVOCATE WHAT THEY WANT. WE CAN'T GO DOWN WE COULD TALK TO EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEY'RE GOING TO WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. BUT HERE THERE ARE SEVEN SEATS AND WE HAVE TO TAKE IT UP A NOTCH INSTEAD OF MICROMANAGING I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A RIGHTWARD BUT TAKING IT DOWN TO A MICROLEVEL ASKING 30 MILLION RESIDENTS, 30000 RESIDENTS OF HUTTO WHAT THEY WANT TAKING A POOL.

THAT IS INEFFICIENT. THERE ARE SEVEN SEATS.

WE ARE ELECTED TO MAKE DECISIONS AND I THINK IT'S ONE OF THOSE DECISIONS WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH INSTEAD OF GOING OUT AND ASKING PEOPLE. IT WAS DECIDED IN 2018, YEARS LATER IT IS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD.

THOSE IN THE POINSETTIA HAD. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME LOOKING AT THE PROJECTS AND WEIGHING THEM.

CITIZEN INPUT IS IMPORTANT IT'S IN A POOR PART OF THE PROCESS BUT ONE OF THE MATTERS THAT GOES TO AFFORDABILITY WHAT IS ONGOING COST. IMPROVING THIS PARKING SURE HAS INCREMENTAL COST TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT TO KEEP IT UP.

THE NEW BUILDER REC CENTER AND YOU NEED TO ADD TO THE BUDGET EACH YEAR THAT'S A BIG IMPACT IS NOT JUST THE BOND AND PACKETS AND IMPACT EVERY YEAR FROM THAT POINT FORWARD SO THAT TAKES MORE FORETHOUGHT AND MORE PLANNING UNIT NEEDS TO BE IN A BUDGET CYCLE. A POOL IS LESS THEN THE COMMUNITY CENTER BUT MORE THAN THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS.

THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS ARE EASIER TO SAY IF WERE READY TO GO WE CAN DO THOSE OTHER ONES WE NEED TO PLAN AND BE READY TO HAVE A LARGER MNL BUDGET TO SUPPORT THOSE WHICH AS WE GROW BECOMES

EASIER OVER TIME. >> IN ADDITION THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE FOR A POOL WILL EXCEED THE OTHER ONES SO THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO GET A BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MASTERS SWIM PROGRAM LIKE A NITRO OR A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ISD BECAUSE THE CLASS SIX HIGH SCHOOL AND PRACTICING TWO LANES AT THE Y.

WE DO HAVE A LOT OF POOLS AND A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS RIGHT NOW. THAT'S INDIVIDUAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN I'M A HUGE ADVOCATE OF POOLS BUT IT'S AN ONGOING DISCUSSION THAT I THINK HOPE WE GET OTHER TAXING AUTHORITIES IN A

THIRD-PARTY BUSINESS. >> AT THE SAME DISCUSSION WITH HOW WE GET A POOL AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

NOT JUST A TAXPAYER-FUNDED PROJECT.

>> COMPLETE THE AGREE. >> I WITH I FINISH MY COMMENTS.

I WOULD LIKE TO GET YOU GUYS GOING AND THEN I FINISH AND THEN

I COME BACK. >> LET THE RECORD SHOW IT'S YOUR

FAULT. >> I HAVE A NOTE ON DISC GOLF THE REASON I WROTE THAT I HAVE A FEW PEOPLE TO ASK ME ABOUT DISC GOLF. WE ARE PROVING A PLAN TO GO DESIGN THAT YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT ALL THE DECISIONS THAT WE SHOULD BE MAKING, NONE OF US HAD ANY INPUT ON THIS DESIGN WE GOT PRESENTED A PLAN AND NOBODY SAID YOU WANT VOCAL BALL, WHATEVER

BOCCE BALL, DISC GOLF. >> DIDN'T YOU SAY THE PLAN, WE COULD STILL UPDATE THIS PLAN THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE BRINGING B

BACK. >> DURING SCHEMATIC DESIGN WE CAN AND WE WILL COORDINATE WITH STAFF IF WE COME NEED TO DO A WORKSHOP THAT'S PROBABLY A REALLY GOOD SESSION TO DO SOME OF THAT IN DURING SOMATIC DESIGN.

>> IT'S NOT THIS PLAN? >> THE BONES OF IT BUT CERTAIN

SPECIFIC THINGS ABSOLUTELY. >> IF I COULD PLEASE LET ME FINISH FOR INSTANCE THE POOL, THE LAKE AREA, WHAT DOES THAT

[03:20:04]

IF THESE GUYS ARE WILLING TO DO WHAT YOU ASKED HIM TO DO THEY WILL DESIGN A WHOLE NEW THING AND IF YOU SAY AYE NEED A CHANGE ORDER FOR X AMOUNT OF MONEY WE DESIGNED THIS YEAR END HERE IN HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE DO A ROAD. I BRING THAT UP THERE WERE THE ONES THAT MAKE THE DECISIONS BUT WE HAVEN'T MADE ANY DECISIONS STAFF IS MADE THE DECISIONS IN OUR BEING ASKED TO ACCEPT IT WITH MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. IN A POOL AND A REC CENTER ASKED THEM WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE FLAGSHIP PARK, DO YOU WANT THE VETERANS MEMORIAL AND THE FLAGSHIP PARK, WE EVEN ASKED THAT QUESTION. THE LAST THING I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET WORKSHOP CAME FROM.

YOU WERE NOT THERE I WAS THERE FOR BOTH TIMES SO YOU WERE NOT THERE SO TO SAY THAT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT CAME UP STREET SWEEPER.

OUR DOWNTOWN COORDINATOR, RECREATION CORRELATOR'S, A STREET TEAM ECHOES OF THE STREET SWEEPER, A GIS ANALYST, POLICE.

THE PAY INCREASE, MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALIST, COMMUNITY POLICE OFFICER, ASSISTANT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CORRELATOR, TRAIL EXPANSION AND TRAIL EXPANSION BE, TRAIL LEADING AND WHAT I REMEMBER THAT CAME UP THE NUMBER ONE THING OVERALL WAS A MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALIST THAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE.

THE NUMBER ONE THEY CAME OUT OF THE ENTIRE BUDGET WAS MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALIST, DO YOU KNOW NUMBER TWO, IT WAS NOT PARKS IT WAS ADDITIONAL POLICE STAFFING, THE STICKERS AND THE COLOR COORDINATED THAT WAS NUMBER TWO IT WASN'T PARKS NO OFFENSE, POLICE. HE PAY INCREASE IF YOU LOOK AT THE COMMUNITY SURVEY. POLICE WANT ROADS AND SAFETY AND WHAT CAME UP IN THE BUDGET WORKSHOP THAT I SPEND ALL MY TIME BOTH SATURDAYS AT WAS NUMBER THREE CIP ENGINEER WAS NOT PARKS NUMBER FOUR AND ASSET AND THAT WAS NOT THE NARRATIVE THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE RANKED PARK PRIORITY BASED ON THE CITIZENS. NO ONE EVER SAID IT WAS OVERALL

ON THE WHOLE THING. >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

$10 MILLION. >> THOSE ARE NOT PARK BOND MO

MONEY. >> THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE, THAT'S HOW LOW DOWN THIS GOT. HE GOT DOWN THAT FAR IMPROVE PARK MAINTENANCE WAS PRETTY FAR DOWN THE LINE.

WE WILL SKIP ALL THE OTHER POSITIONS.

>> WE HAVE TO INVEST IN OUR ROADS AND STREETS AND AS A PUBLIC SAFETY BUT PARKS IS THERE IT IS OUR COMMUNITY.

>> I AM NOT SAYING DON'T DO PARKS.

WHAT I AM SAYING SOME PEOPLE SAY THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE BUDGET WORKSHOP IT IS NOT THE NUMBER ONE THING. HIRING COPS AND PAYING THEM APPROPRIATELY WAS NUMBER ONE. YOU CAN IMPROVE PARKS AND SPEND $10 MILLION SHOULDN'T YOU ASKED THE PEOPLE THAT YOU REPRESENT HOW DO YOU WANT US TO DO THE PARKS.

>> WE DID IN 2018. YOU CANNOT GO BACK FOR EVERY

GRANT. >> WHEN DO I GET MY TURN.

I'VE NOT SPOKEN YET. I'M TRYING TO BE PATIENT.

>> IF THEY DON'T GO TO FRITZ PARK NOW IF WE CAN IMPROVE IT.

>> I'M DONE TRYING I TRY TO STAY OFF SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE I WANT TO TALK APPEAR BUT I SAY THREE WORDS.

>> THAT IS MY DAD I DID INTERRUPT.

I LOVE SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET INTERRUPTED.

>> I'M DONE. >> YOU ASKED IF YOU COULD FI

FINISH. >> I AM THE MAYOR, YOUR TIME.

>> MY THOUGHTS WERE ON IT I LOVE AN IDEA OF A FLAGSHIP PARK AND HUTTO AND WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN 2001 THERE WERE NOT A LOT OF PARKS FRITZ PARK WAS ONE AND IT LOOKS THE SAME AS 2001.

DONE OF THE PARKS THAT WE HAVE ARE IMPRESSIVE IN HUTTO THEY ARE FIELDS AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE WITH A COUPLE BALLFIELDS THE THOUGHT OF HAVING A NICE PARK WHERE I WOULD WANT TO TAKE MY FAMILY TO BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A PARK LIKE GO HANG OUT AT THE

[03:25:05]

I LOOK AT HOW PEOPLE ARE REALLY GRAVITATING TO THE NEW PARK AREA AND THE CO-OP, THEY HAVE THE AMPHITHEATER AND THE ASTROTURF IN THE SPLASH PAD AND PEOPLE ARE LOVING IT IT'S ALWAYS PACKED EVERY TIME I DRIVE BY THERE PEOPLE PLAYING THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY SIMILAR AND PEOPLE GRAVITATE AND PEOPLE LOVE IT.

WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PARK SECTION OF THE PUBLIC SURVEY THAT WAS DONE A COUPLE OF NUMBERS THAT STOOD OUT TO ME 80% SAY HIGH QUALITY PARKS WERE IMPORTANT TO THEM AND WHAT STOOD OUT WAS HIGH QUALITY PARKS NOT JUST PARKS AND 39% FELT THAT THE EXISTING PARKS FOR MEETING THEIR NEEDS.

80% SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT IN 40% SAID THEIR MEETING MY NEEDS THAT WAS A BIG DISPARITY FOR ME. I AGREE WITH WHAT THE COUNCIL MEMBER KOLAR SAID WERE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY AND ULTIMATELY I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ASK THE PUBLIC THEIR OPINION BUT ULTIMATELY WE HAVEN'T HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION AND WE REPRESENT THOSE THAT ARE OUT THERE AND I THINK IF WE ASK EVERYBODY EVERYTHING WERE GETTING GET 10 DIFFERENT ANSWERS AND THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME AND ME IN A CONVOLUTED AND WE NEED TO MAKE THE FINAL DECISION. I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER THORTON OF THE OPTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT THIS IS PROBABLY THE LEAST AMOUNT OF ONGOING MAINTENANCE THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME. AND JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE INCLUDED THIS IS THE COST OF WHAT IS GOING TO BE BUT I REALLY LIKED WHAT THE MAYOR HAS TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST, IF THIS PASSES AND WE WANT TO GO FORWARD I THINK THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO GO TO A LOT OF COMPANIES TO GET SPONSORSHIPS TO SAY HOW MUCH OF THIS 9.8 SPONSORED AND HOW CAN WE DROP IT ON.

INTAKE OUTLETS BONDED. AND TO ME I LIKE IT I LOVE THE PLAN AND IT MEETS A LOT OF PEOPLE'S NEEDS.

I THINK IT'S WORTH MOVING FORWARD WITH.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING ON PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.

[11.2. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2023-155]

>> COUNCIL MEMBER WILCOTT. >> AYE.

>> MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON. >> AYE.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER KOLAR. >> AYE.

>> MAYOR SNYDER. >> DAY.

>> COUNCILMAN CLARK. >> AYE.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER THORTON. >> AYE.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON AYE. >> MOTION PASSES 6 - 1.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

>> ITEM 11 - 2, CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION ARE DASHED 2023-155 TO PRESERVE THE ABILITY TO REIMBURSE A PARK FUND FROM ANY SUBSEQUENT BOND ISSUANCE FOR THE RENOVATION OF SPRITZ PARK.

>> GETTING A MAYOR COUNCIL, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION. I WANTED TO FOLLOW TO THE MAYOR

ON THE SETTING. >> THIS IS INTERIM FINANCE DIRECTED TO THE RECORD AND WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW TO BART FOWLER THAT DRAFTED THE RESOLUTION. THANK YOU.

>> I AM BART FOWLER PLEASURE TO SERVE THE BOND COUNCIL, THIS RESOLUTION DOES PRESERVE THE ABILITY TO REIMBURSE A BOND ISSUANCE THAT YOU INCURRED NOW FOR THE PARKS, DOES NOT OBLIGATE YOU TO ISSUE DEBT IN THE FUTURE GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO PAY HERSELF BACK IF YOU DECIDE TO ISSUE THE BONDS AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, THERE IS A MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT OF $8 MILLION LISTED IN FOR FRITZ PARK THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT A SOFT COST IT WAS DESIGNED WORK IN SOME OF THE STUFF WAS TALKED ABOUT.

YOU DON'T NEED TO REIMBURSE FOR THOSE IN THE HARD COST DIRT WORK OF ANY KIND SOIL SAMPLES YOU NEED TO REIMBURSE RESOLUTION IN PLACE, OUT OF ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION IT GIVES YOU THE OPTION TO CHOOSE TO REIMBURSE FOR MOST FUTURE BOND ISSUE WOULD HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO DO SO MORE OF AN INSURANCE POLICY TO GIVE YOURSELF THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE DECISION IN THE FUTURE.

AND IN DIFFERENT PROJECTS PRIOR ACTUALLY COUNCIL TAKEN.

>> QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? >> THIS IS A NO-BRAINER.

I MOVED TO APPROVE 11.2 AS PRESENTED.

>> SECOND. >> THANK YOU FOR DOING THE.

[03:30:02]

>> MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON, SECOND BY THOMPSON.

>> ON THIS ONE IT IS A NOT A TAND.

IF I UNDERSTAND THIS RIGHT. WE HAVE A PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND WHICH IS FUNDED BY DEVELOPERS WHO PAY MONEY FOR PARKING PERMITS. IN OUR GOING TO PARK IMPROVEMENTS AND WE WANT THE ABILITY TO SELL BONDS IN THE FUTURE AND REIMBURSE A PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND AND WHY WILL WE

DO THAT FOR PARK IMPROVEMENT. >> THAT HIS BUSINESS POLICY DECISION FOR THE BUSINESS TO MAKE AS FAR AS WHAT SOURCE TO MAKE THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS NOW AND PARK EXPENDITURES NOW THAT SOMETHING I WAS NOT AWARE OF UNTIL YOU MENTIONED THAT.

IF YOU HAVE THAT SET ASIDE INTO WATER REIMBURSE FOR THE FUTURE

THAT IS COMPLETE DEFINE AS WELL. >> SOMEONE IS COMING UP WITH

THIS IDEA. >> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

>> I MAY UNDERSTAND THIS WRONG BUT LET'S SAY FOR INSTANCE WE USE THE 1.2 MILLION OUT OF THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND WHICH WERE PLANNING ON DOING AND WE HAVE THE RESOLUTION IN PLACE THAT ALLOWS US TO REIMBURSE HERSELF AND DOWN THE ROAD THERE'S A DIFFERENT PART THAT WE WANTED TO HAVE A BIGGER POOL OF MONEY IN THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND THAT WE COULD USE IT THAT WE COULD NOT USE BOND MONEY FOR AND WE COULD USE THIS INSTEAD.

WITH FRITZ PARK WE'RE GOING TO BE AUTHORIZING BOND MONEY SO WE COULD USE IT HERE AND DECIDE IF THERE IS ANOTHER PARK THAT WE WANT TO USE PART FUNDING FOR THE MOVE REIMBURSE AND USE IT THERE WHERE WE CAN IT USE BOND MONEY ON THE OTHER ONE.

>> THANK YOU, COUNSEL WHAT THIS ALLOWS YOU TO DO IS TO DEFER A DECISION INTO THE FUTURE IF YOU WANT TO USE BOND MONEY OR PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND MONEY. THERE IS NO OBLIGATION FOR YOU TO REIMBURSE THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND IF WHEN YOU GET TO THE POINT OF CONSTRUCTION AND ISSUANCE OF THE BOND AND YOU DECIDE YOU DON'T WANT TO REIMBURSE THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND YOU CAN MAKE THE DECISION OF THAT POINT TIME IN THE FUTURE. THIS PROTECTS YOUR

DECISION-MAKING ABILITY. >> FTSE YOU HAVE 5 MILLION A PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND BUT EVERY BOND WE JUST READ THE BONDS THEY GO TO ANY PARK IMPROVEMENT THAT YOU WANT OUT THERE, IT IS BROAD-BASED WHY WOULD YOU SPEND MONEY THAT IS WANTED TO PRESENT EARMARKED AND THEY REIMBURSE THAT FUND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD REIMBURSE WHEN YOU GO TO SELL BONDS YOU'RE RAISING PEOPLE'S TAXES AND THE TAXES GO TO REPLENISH A FUND THAT WAS PROVIDED BY DEVELOPERS, WHY WOULD YOU NOT TO SPEND THE MONEY IN THE FUND AND SELL BONDS FOR WHAT YOU NEED LEFT OVER.

>> I THINK IT'S GOOD POLICY POSITION, HERE'S WHY BECAUSE IT'S SO BROAD YOU TALK TO THE FUTURE IF WE EVER WENT OUT YOU WOULD PREFER THAT WE DO VERY SPECIFIC BOND ISSUANCE.

LET'S SAY, THIS IS A GOOD POLICY POSITION THAT WE PUT IN PLACE, SAY WE HAVE A BOND THAT SAID FOR FRITZ PARK IN A COMMUNITY CENTER IS WHAT THE BOND WAS ISSUED FOR, WE COULD GET STARTED YOU PAY A DEBT SERVICE SO WE PRE-PHASE OUT OF THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND IN THIS PROJECT THAT WE HAVE A NAMED PROJECT THAT THE CITIZENS HAD ALREADY AGREED TO PAY FOR IN A BOND SO WE OR DO THE STUFF AND WHEN WERE ACTUALLY READY TO DO CONSTRUCTION YOU PAY THE NOTE WHERE YOU PAY INTEREST THEN WE REIMBURSE THE FUND BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO SAY WERE GOING TO UPGRADE COTTONWOOD CREEK OR LAKESIDE PARK AND DO IMPROVEMENT FROM THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND BUT WE WANTED TO GET AHEAD IN THE GAME.

RIGHT NOW IF WE DECIDE WE WANT TO DO THE LAKESIDE IMPROVEMENT THAT WE HAD A CITIZEN TALK ABOUT TONIGHT WE WOULD SAY WE COULD DO THAT FOR $1 MILLION BUT WE WANT TO DO THE FRITZ IMPROVEMENT PARK SO WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE 1 MILLION NOW BUT WE ISSUE THE BOND TO DO THE CONSTRUCTION THEM WILL HAVE $1 MILLION TO GO IMMEDIATELY TO DO RIVERSIDE PARK.

>> YOU VILLAGER REIMBURSING WITH MONEY OR PAYING INTEREST ON? IF IT'S A 10 MILLION-DOLLAR PROJECT AND YOU SPEND 5 MILLION OUT OF THE PARKS IMPROVEMENT FUND AND YOU GO OUT AND YOU SAY WE WANT TO REIMBURSE THAT LET'S SELL 10 MILLION IN BONDS YEAH 5 MILLION AND YOU WERE NOT PAYING INTEREST ON INSTEAD OF SPENDING THAT YOU SPEND IT TEMPORARILY SO 10 MILLION BONDS TO REIMBURSE YOUR PAYING INTEREST ON WHY IN THE WORLD

WOULD YOU EVER BORROW MONEY. >> AT SOME POINT THERE IS AN ISSUANCE COST WHEN YOU ISSUE BONDS YOU WANT TO TAKE TRANCHE

DOWN. >> MR. MAYOR IN YOUR EXAMPLE YOU WERE THINKING THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND WILL CONTINUE

TO GROW. >> I'M HOPING IT GOES AWAY.

IT COMES IN AND WE SPEND EACH YEAR.

[03:35:03]

>> WHEN WE PRESENT THE BUDGET YOU WILL FIND THERE ARE PROJECTS THAT WILL PRESENT TO YOU. ONE OF THOSE COUNCIL IS SEEN THE VETERANS MEMORIAL. USUALLY YOU USE YOUR PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR THE SMALLER PROJECTS BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO GET A BOND ISSUE ON. IF HER USING THE MONEY FOR SMALLER PROJECTS THEN YOU MIGHT WANT TO REIMBURSE THE FUND.

I DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL THAT TELLS ME WHAT THE BURNOUT IS ON THE FUND AT THIS POINT TIME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW COUNCIL'S WISHES. IF IT HAD A LOW AMOUNT IN IT LET'S SAY INSTEAD OF 5000 IN YOUR EXAMPLE MAY BE IT ONLY HAD 100,000 OR 200,000. YOU MIGHT WANT TO REIMBURSE THE FUND AND PUT $1200 IN THERE FROM THIS EXPENSE OR OTHER EXPENSES THAT WERE INCURRED PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS.

THE COUNCIL MAY WANT TO DO THAT AND THEN THEY WOULD FUND THE ENTIRE FRITZ PARK PROJECT USING THE BOND MONEY I DON'T KNOW WHAT COUNCIL WILL WANT TO DO AT THE POINT OF BOND ISSUANCE.

I WOULD LIKE TO PRESERVE COUNCIL'S ABILITY TO MAKE THE DECISION AT THAT POINT IN TIME. THAT'S WHAT THE RESOLUTION DOES.

>> IT LEAVES ALL YOUR OPTIONS OPEN VERSUS HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE A DECISION LATER INTO SAY IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IT TOTALLY DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO TAKE OUT A BOND SPECIFICALLY TO PAY HERSELF BACK TO PAY INTEREST ON MONEY THAT MAKES NO SENSE WHY WOULD WE DO THAT IN THIS DOES NOT SAY WE HAVE TO DO THAT.

IT JUST SAYS IF WE MAKE SENSE. >> IF WE WANT TO DO THAT WE CAN

DO THAT. >> IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD NEVER DO THIS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULD EVER DO THAT.

WERE NOT SAY WE HAVE TO DO IT BUT IT GIVES US AN OPTION LATER

TO DO SOMETHING WE ALL AGREE. >> I ABSOLUTELY AGREE IF I'M ON COUNCIL AT THAT POINT YOU CAN HELP ME AND I WILL NOT VOTE TO REIMBURSE THE PARKS IMPROVEMENT FUND, HOLD ME TO MY WORD.

IN THE FUTURE WHATEVER HAPPENS THE CITY COUNCIL CAN DO IT BUT I

WILL BE VOTING NO IN THE FUTURE. >> WHY NOT VOTE NO NOW TO

PROTECT THE CITY. >> LET ME ASK YOU THIS QUESTION, IS THERE A PROJECT YOU CAN CONCEIVE OF THAT YOU CAN USE THE PARK IMPROVEMENT MONEY THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO OR CANNOT USE

BOND MONEY. >> AND YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION.

>> SHOW ME A PROJECT WHERE YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE PARK IMPROVEMENT MONEY FOR BUT YOU WOULD NOT USE BOND MONEY.

>> THE VETERANS MEMORIAL PRO PROJECT.

>> I WOULD ASK THAT QUESTION IN TERMS OF A LARGE VALUE IF IT'S 200,000 OR 300,000 ORGAN AT $2 MILLION LEFT IN THE ACCOUNT.

>> IF YOU HAD A MILLION AND A HALF DOLLAR PROJECT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU ISSUE A 30 YEAR BOND FOR THAT OR A 20 YEAR BOND FOR THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU PAY OUT OF THE PARK

IMPROVEMENT FUND. >> HERE'S THE EXAMPLE I WOULD GIVE, SAY IN OCTOBER AND THE BUDGET CYCLE WE FIGURED OUT THE

VETERANS PARK PLAN. >> I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT BUT THE BUDGET CYCLE, WE ARE IN IT RIGHT NOW.

>> WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY WE HAVE $3 MILLION IN THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND, HYPOTHETICALLY SAY THE VETERANS PROJECT IS $3 MILLION AND WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THE FRITZ PARK AND THE VETERANS IN THIS FISCAL YEAR BUT WE DON'T WANT TO DECIDE WHERE TO PUT 1.2 MILLION ON FRITZ PARK TO GET US STARTED BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO ISSUE THE FULL BOND DEBT.

THE DEBT UNDER VETERANS THANK ONLY $1 MILLION FOR DESIGN AND BOTH WILL COME LATER ON. WHAT WE WOULD DECIDE IS ISSUING THE FULL BOND ISSUANCE TO PAY FOR FRITZ PARK IN REIMBURSE THE 1.2 MILLION THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO FINISH THE MEMORIAL PARK.

THERE IS OF EXAMPLE THAT WE WOULD'VE DONE IN THE NEXT BUDGET YEAR IN MY EXAMPLE. IT SHIFTED WHEN YOU PAID AND YOU SAVE THE INTEREST ON THE SIX MONTHS.

>> WERE HAPPY TO SELL BONDS AND SPEND MONEY AND EVENTUALLY A 40 MILLION-DOLLAR BRIDGE AND SOME OTHER THINGS.

WHATEVER IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME IF IT DOES TO THE

MAJORITY THEN SO BE IT. >> I DID NOT KNOW ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT THE PROCESS AND WHERE YOUR PULLING MONEY FROM.

I WAS JUST MENTIONING TO ANNA ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS APART MONEY FROM YOUR FUND IN USING THIS. YOUR CONCERN IS VALID IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. TRYING TO RESTRICT PARK MONEY

[03:40:01]

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN AND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. AT THE SAME TIME THIS IS AN INSURANCE POLICY FOR SOMETHING THAT MAY BE UNEXPECTED THAT OCCURS THAT GIVES ABILITY TO REIMBURSE AS A GENERAL FUND OR THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR A SITUATION.

>> YOU ARTICULATED BETTER. I WOULD SAY THIS PEOPLE DON'T ASK FOR THINGS THEY ARE ALREADY TWO STEPS AHEAD AND WE GET COUNCIL TO AGREE ON THIS AND NEXT YEAR THIS.

I'M LOOKING HERE SAYING THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS IS EVER HAPPENING FOR YEARS. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS, WHAT IS THE REASON. WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT ANY YEAR OR TWO IF I'M AROUND AND WILL FIND OUT THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED THE PAST TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE AGAIN LIKE YOU SAID IT IS LIKE THE EDC WANTS TO BUILD A ROAD THE CITY IS ISSUING BONDS AND WILL REIMBURSE THEM REIMBURSE THE FUND AND ALL THAT MAKES SENSE. AGAIN IF THE REST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNCIL ARE OKAY I DON'T SEE A NEED.

I DO UNDERSTAND THE REASONING BUT TIME WILL TELL AND WE WILL FIND OUT WHY WE ARE DOING. ALRIGHT.

NEXT ITEM 12.5 CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION ARE JOSH 2023-148 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN ATHLETIC ABILITY DISAGREEMENT WITH THE HUTTO YOUTH BASEBALL ASSOCIATION.

HERE'S MY QUESTION FOR THE CITY MANAGER.

I LIKE A LOT OF THE CHANGES IT SEEMS LIKE WERE NOT RUNNING A BASEBALL LEAGUE RELATING PROFESSIONALS TO IT.

BUT NUMBER FIVE THE ASSOCIATION TO MAKE A PRESENTATION ANNUALLY TO THE CITY PARKS ADVISORY BOARD INCLUDING AT A MINIMUM DETAILED FINANCIAL REPORTS AND GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE ASSOCIATION.

CAN WE SAY IS THERE REASON TO PRESENT THE FINANCES TO THE PARK BOARD OR AN ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT.

>> CAN BE ADMINISTRATIVE OR IS THERE CERTAIN REASON.

>> WE TRY TO ADVISORY BOARD. >> FROM THE FINANCIAL REPORT.

>> IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE PARKS BOARD.

>> DOES THE CITY NEED TO SEE THAT?

>> ONLY IF YOU WANT US TO HAVE A WAY TO CHECK AGAINST THE FEES THAT THEY WERE PAYING. IT SEEMS A HAVE THIS CONVERSATION EARLIER WE DID NOT WANT TO BE AUDITING ALL THEIR STUFF ALL THE TIME. IF THEY ARE GOING TO SAY HAD THIS MANY IN CITY YOUTH, THIS MANY OUT OF CITY YOUTH, THEY PAID THE FEES. GENERALLY YOU WOULD HAVE A FINANCIAL STATEMENT SAYING THIS IS THE NUMBER OF FEES IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND HERE'S WHERE WERE CUTTING THE CHECK FROM INSTEAD OF THE CHECK SHOWING UP IN YOU NOT KNOWING WHETHER THOSE THINGS ARE POLICY OR NOT.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO AUDIT IT, WE CAN THAT IS STILL IN THERE BUT THE AUDIT REQUIREMENTS AND THAT STUFF IS GONE.

YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO HAVE EXCEPTIONALLY DETAILED FINANCIAL REPORTS BUT I COULD EASILY SEE IF YOU GET A CHECK FOR 1200 BUCKS IN THE SENSES FROM THESE THINGS THEN THE QUESTION I WOULD EXPECT TO GET HOW DO WE KNOW THOSE WERE THE THINGS. I WOULD WANT AT LEAST SOMETHING TO CROSS REFERENCE BEFORE THE MOUTH WORKS.

IF THEY SAY THESE ARE THE FINANCIALS.

I WILL TRUST THEM THROUGH THE FINANCIALS UNLESS I HAVE A REASON NOT TO OR WE NEED THE REASON TO GO AUDIT.

THAT IS BASICALLY THE ONLY REASON.

>> I WAS JUST WONDERING. HOW MUCH MONEY ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE HOW HARD PEOPLE ARE WORKED. WE DON'T EVEN GET OUR OWN AUDIT DONE ON TIME. IF WE GET A BE AUDITING OTHER PEOPLE, TO ME I DON'T HOW MUCH MONEY WERE TALKING.

FOR DOCKET $85000 THE MY EAR IS PERKING UP FOR DOCKET 8500 AND THEY SAY 100 PEOPLE SIGNED UP INWARD I THINK IS 120.

A SECOND ALLY AND PUT A HUNDRED ON PAPER AND CHALK IT UP TO CONCESSION STANDS. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE AUDITING COST THE TAXPAYER SO MUCH MONEY I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM OUT THERE DIGGING THROUGH FINANCIALS

TRYING TO FIND $50. >> THAT'S NOT THE INTENT UNLESS WE FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S WRONG WHICH IS A DIFFERENT THING.

>> , 20 ARE THESE GUYS PAINT IS $8000.

>> HE WOULD FIND AND TO SPEND MORE MONEY TRYING TO FIND A.

>> ALL WE REALLY CARE ABOUT THEY GIVE US A REPORT EFFECTIVELY

SAYING. >> 100 RESIDENTS, 15.

>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT BASIC FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

>> NINE ASKED. REQUEST TO SELL ITEMS ON CITY PROPERTY MUST BE PREAPPROVED BY PARKS AND.

ALL OF THAT THAT GOT SOLD YESTERDAY OR TUESDAY.

[03:50:01]

ALL THIS PREAPPROVED IS AN INSTANCE WHERE THEY WANT TO SELL SOMETHING LET'S SAY THEY WANT A SOLID TEACHER IN THE CITY IS SAY NO WHY WOULD THE CITY SAY NO TO THAT.

WE DON'T DO THAT TO THE YMCA OR MADELEINE SANDBOX.

I HAVE THAT IN THERE AND PLAN NOT APPROVED BUT I HOPE I CAN GET THIS TAKEN OUT. THE LAST ONE IS 11 A.

>> THEY CAN DO A CATCHALL APPROVAL.

>> IS A REASON WE WANT TO APPROVE.

>> GENERALLY IS LIKE THE ARGUMENT WITH THE BONDS YOU KEEP IT IN THERE BECAUSE THE THING YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT BUT I'LL LET JEFF SPEAK IF HE IS ANYTHING SPECIFIC.

>> THE WAY THE SEASON OPERATES ANOTHER SCHOOL EVENT BECAUSE THEY SHARE HISD PARKING LOT IT'S MORE INFORMATIONAL EVERYTHING TO TAKE UP SPACE OR CONFLICT IN EVENT AT THE SCHOOL BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE SCHOOL HAS AN EVENT WERE NEVER AT THE PARK AND WOULD HAVE AN EASTER EGG HUNT AND ARE HAVING A TOURNAMENT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE ENOUGH SPACE AVAILABLE FOR AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN WE DON'T WANT FIVE FOOD TRUCKS COMING AND TAKING UP 20

SPACES. >> I'M TALKING ABOUT REQUEST ASSAULT ITEMS AND VENDORS IN YOUR TALKING ABOUT -- RIGHT NOW THE WAY I READ THIS REQUEST ASSAULT ITEMS ARE VENDOR SELL ITEMS ON CITY PROPERTY MUST BE PREAPPROVED IN WRITING BY THE PARKS AND BACK THAT TELLS ME THEY CANNOT SELL A SNOWCONE UNTIL YOU APPROVE IT, IS THAT RIGHT.

>> VACANCY CONCESSIONS. >> REQUEST ASSAULT ITEMS OR VENDOR SELL ITEMS CYNICALLY CAN REQUEST TO SELL CONCESSIONS WE DON'T NEED AN INVENTORY LIST OF RING POPS ANOTHER THINGS LIKE

THAT. >> THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SAYS THIS IS ITEMS AND NEVER GOING TO LET THEM HAVE THE CONCESSION STAND IN THERE PAID A DEPOSIT HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP WHY ARE WE.

>> WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE F FOR, THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE FACILITY. IF THEY DECIDE THEY WANT TO DO A POP-UP CRAFT EVENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SOMETHING COMPLETELY OUT OF THE REALM OF WHAT YOU WOULD THINK OF FOR YOUTH BASEBALL THAT MAY BE COMPLETELY OKAY BUT WE WANT THEM TO SAY IS IT OKAY IF WE DO THE POP-UP CRAFT EVENT MAYBE THE ANSWER IS NO IT'S NOT BECAUSE EXACT SAME TIME THE SCHOOL WHO SHARES THE AREA IS DOING THE AFTERSCHOOL OF THAT OR WHATEVER ELSE AND YOU CAN'T CORRELATE THE TWO. IT'S NOT REALLY MET.

>> ISN'T THAT WITH WIN WHEN THEN HAVE FUNCTIONS.

>> IS A PROTECTION FOR THEM TO. WHAT HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY THEY WILL HAVE VENDORS COME UP AND TRY TO SELL ITEMS TO THE PRESENT SURVEY. AND LAST YEAR AND SEVERAL TIMES THEY CAME UP AND TRIED TO PUSH A PARTICULAR ITEM OR PRODUCT, THEY COULD USE AS AN EXAMPLE SAY WE DON'T ALLOW THE CENTER PARKS.

>> THEY COULD SAY THAT WITHOUT THAT.

>> THEY COULD THEY COULD DEFAULT BACK TO OUR ORDINANCE BUT WE

DON'T DO THAT. >> THEY COULD SAY HEY BUD YOU NEED TO LEAVE YOU CANNOT SELL T-SHIRTS DURING OUR TOURNAMENT AND IF THE PEOPLE ARE LIKE I AM SELLING YOU CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT THEN YOU'RE TELLING ME BECAUSE THERE'S A SENTENCING ORDINANCE OR AN AGREEMENT THEN THEY WILL SAY THE CITY SAYS WE CAN'T ALLOW YOU TO SELL UNLESS THEY APPROVE IT AND THEY SAID SINCE YOU SAID THE CITY I'LL PACK UP AND LEAVE.

>> I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, IT DOES HELP IS LIKE AN OPPOSING TEAM COMING UP AND THEY'RE TRYING TO SET UP AN SOLID BUNCH OF STUFF YOU LIKE NO, YOU WERE NOT APPROVED OF THE VENDOR THROUGH PARKS AND RECORD THE CITY SO YOU CANNOT JUST PULL APPEAR OR THE ICE CREAM CARDS WILL SHOW UP WITH AN ICE CREAM CART AND WANT TO SELL ICE CREAM. MY KID IS ALL OVER ALL SPORTS, IT'S HAPPENED AT PSYCHO FALSE SAFE OR SOMETHING CRAZY COMES UP

[03:55:02]

OUT OF THE BACK YOUR CAR. >> WHY ARE WE DOING IT TO THESE GUYS AND NOT THE OTHER PROFITS TO OPERATE.

LIKE THE YMCA HYD ESSAY THE OPERATOR NONPROFIT.

IN FACT I WOULD SAY THE Y HAS A HARDER DEAL WE CAN KICK THEM OUT

WITH A 30 DAY NOTICE. >> THEY'RE NOT ON CITY PARKLAND

ON CITY-OWNED PROPERTY. >> IS NOT THE SAME THING AS THE

PARK. >> PARK AND REC IS SPECIFIC TO

PARKLAND FOR SOLICITATION. >> KIND OF DIFFERENT.

>> A CITY IS CITY. >> LET ME TRY TO TAKE A STAB AT ENTERING THAT PARTICULAR QUESTION.

HERE'S HOW I WOULD RATIONALIZE IT.

ONE THE YMCA IS IN AN ENCLOSED BUILDING THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAT AN OPEN PARK. TWO, THE PARK IS PUBLIC PARKLAND WHICH PEOPLE CAN COME ALL THEY WANT AND NOBODY CAN RESTRICTED BECAUSE IT'S A PUBLIC PARK. THE YMCA CLOSED THE DOORS LOCKED IT, IT'S CONTROLLED ACCESS. IT WOULD BE IF SOMEBODY SET UP IN THE YMCA PARKING LOT TO SELL, THAT WOULD BE MUCH MORE SIMILAR BUT THAT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THEY CAN KICK THEM OFF.

>> IS NOT PRIVATE PROPERTY IT CITY.

>> PARKING IS CITY PROPERTY? >> WE DON'T REQUIRE DETAIL INITIAL REPORT OR TO CHECK OFF BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING.

AS FAR AS I KNOW IN THE AGREEMENT THAT WE PASSED THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO AS LONG AS THEY DON'T KILL SOMEBODY AND WE STAY OUT OF IT. BUT THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE TO COME UP AND WE ARE IN THEIR BUSINESS AND WE SHOULD NOT BE IN. IT MAKES A LOT OF MONEY AND WE HAVE TREES THAT NEED WATERING, WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED, IN MY OPINION WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO BE DOING IN THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T NEED TO BE DOING IS TELLING 70 HOW TO RUN A BASEBALL LEAGUE WHICH IS A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

DURING THAT AUTHOR. WE DON'T HAVE TO ARGUE ALL NI

NIGHT. >> I DON'T WANT MY KID AND SOMEBODY PULLING UP WITH A BOX OF CANDY TRYING TO SELL STUFF TO

HER KIDS IT'S FOR PROTECTION. >> THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PEOPLE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO CALL POLICE BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO SELL YOUR KIDS FUND DIPS THAT WERE NOT REQUIRED?

>> NEVERMIND. I WANT TO PROTECT HER BABIES.

MY HUSBAND WAS ON SEVERAL OF THE BOARDS OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND HE WOULD BE THE ONE THAT WOULD KICK THEM OUT.

BUT IT'S NICE WHEN YOU CAN SAY THIS IS NOT ALLOWED ON THE PARK GROUND SO PLEASE TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

>> JUST, WE NEED YOU AT THESE EVENTS KICKING PEOPLE OUT, SHOW

YOUR MUSCLES A LITTLE BIT. >> IT'S A SECOND READING BUT THE ASSOCIATION WILL SUBMIT WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER EACH SEASON ENDS COPIES OF DETAILED FINANCIAL REPORT.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE DID THAT THE SECOND PART IS GOOD NONRESIDENT.

IF THEY SHOW US MORE PEOPLE THAN THEY COULD COME UP AND SAY WE NEED MORE BALLFIELDS HERE NOT FILLING UP THE BALLFIELDS BUT TO COOK A PASSWORD TO BE IN THE QUICKBOOKS TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE AUDIT TEAM COMING IN CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THE REPORT SHOULD INCLUDE WITH INCOME AND EXPENSES, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE AND I WANT YOU TO TELL US SENSE WE SAY WERE KEEPING THE FIELDS UP I WANT THEM TO REPORT TO COUNCIL IN YOUR PARKS TODAY GOOD JOB OR HORRIBLE JOB AND I HAD A KID BREAK HIS LAKE BECAUSE OF THE PRACTICE WHITE IN THE FIELD I WOULD LIKE THE STATUS OF THE FIELDS IN THE PARTICIPATION AND WHAT WE AS A CITY CAN DO BETTER FOR THE FIELDS BECAUSE I WANT THEM TAKING THE BURDEN OFF THE CITY AND TELLING US YOU NEED MORE BALLFIELDS AND YOU NEED TO WATER MORE AND YOU TALK TOO MUCH WORTH CAUSING CANCER I DON'T KNOW ALL THESE THINGS.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS I WANT. >> IS ON SECOND TASK FORCE.

>> LET'S GET A SUB TASK FORCE YOU REPORT TO US.

>> I SEE THOSE THREE THINGS I THINK THE AGREEMENT IS VASTLY BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD BEFORE. BEFORE WAS AN INTRUSION.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HYD ESSAY EXPAND AND EXPANDED EXPAND AND I DON'T WANT THE CITY LONG-TERM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S DOING SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL LEAGUES I WANT ON NONPROFIT DOING THAT IN EMPOWERING THEM. IT'S A BIG STEP AND I KNOW THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT IMPROVED AND I CAN'T REGISTER UNLESS IT'S DONE.

>> AS PART OF THE PROCESS. >> THE CONTRACT EXPIRES AT THE

END OF THIS MONTH. >> I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WAITED UNTIL LAST MINUTE WE HAD THIS TALK IN SEPTEMBER AND WE SAID I

THINK SEPTEMBER. >> DECEMBER IN THE CONTRACT EXPIRES AUGUST 1 SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK.

>> WE WANTED TO MAKE CHANGES AND WE ONLY HAD TIME WE HAVE TO TAKE IT LIKE IT IS WHAT I WOULD HOPE OF FORGETTING MAKE CHANGES YOU

[04:00:06]

FEBRUARY. >> THAT'S THE FIRST I'VE HEARD THE ASPECT AND CERTAINLY THAT IS FINE AND I THINK WE BELIEVE ALL THE DIRECTION ON THE CHANGES WERE CAPTURED AT THE LAST MEETING SO THERE WAS NOT A NEED FOR US TO WORRY ABOUT ADDITIONAL CHANGES ONCE WE BROUGHT IT BACK SO WERE BRINGING IT BACK THE WAY

IT MAKES SENSE. >> CITED KIDS TO PLAY BALL IN AUGUST WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE AN AGREEMENT PAST AUGUST 1.

>> THE SEASON DOESN'T START UNTIL SEPTEMBER.

>> WINDOWS PRACTICE START. >> THE SEPTEMBER FIELDS

>> THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE HEARD OF THAT IF IT WAS AN ISSUE WE CAN BUMP IT UP AND IF YOU HAVE THOSE ISSUES NATURE TO COMMUNICATE BECAUSE WERE HAPPY TO HELP GET THESE THINGS THROUGH. NO REASON NOT TO.

>> DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY HEARTBURN AS IS WRITTEN TODAY?

>> ARE YOU GOOD WITH HOW IT'S WRITTEN TODAY.

>> CAN YOU SPEAK? WE HAVE PEOPLE ONLINE AND THEY

CANNOT HEAR. >> NAME, ADDRESS AND BLOOD TYPE.

>> TOG CORPORATE AND THE PRESIDENT OF HYD ESSAY.

WE'VE BEEN OPERATING EVEN THE MORE STRICTER CONTRACT FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS NOW. WE ARE OKAY WITH IT.

SO YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK IT OVER AND YOU READ IT IN YOUR

ORGANIZATION IS FINE. >> WE HAVE FINANCIALS AVAILABLE AS NEEDED OR WHEN NEEDED AND WE PROVIDE THE ENROLLMENT NUMBERS FOR HUTTO RESIDENTS AS WELL AS NON- HAD A RESONANCE AND THAT'S PART OF OUR FEES AND INVOICE PROVIDED BACK TO US AS WELL AS

THE LIGHT FEES. >> WHAT WERE YOUR NUMBERS LAST

SEASON? >> I WANT TO SEE 290.

>> IT'S RIGHT AROUND 311 SOMETHING LIKE THAT, 311

PARTICIPANTS. >> THERE IS A LOT OF KIDS OUT

THERE. >> WE ARE HOPING FOR MORE BUT AS YOU PUT IT TO HAVE MORE WE NEED MORE FIELD SPACE.

BUT WERE OKAY WE CAN GO WITH THE CONTRACT CHANCES AND WE CAN OPEN REGISTRATION ON SATURDAY. WERE BEHIND ON OPENING THE OPENING SATURDAY IS FINE AND WE GET USED TO THE FIELD SEPT SEPTEMBER 1 BUT REGISTRATION HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THAT THAT ALLOWS THREE WEEKS OF PRACTICE BEFORE WE START GAMES.

>> WE PASS THIS IF I MAKE A MOTION AND SAY DON'T WANT YOUR FINANCIAL REPORT AND I DON'T WANT YOUR DETAILED FINANCIAL REPORT AND I FORGOT NINE AS I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PROVE DOES THAT BOTHER YOU OR LITTLE BIT OF HELP.

>> THAT HELPS. OUR CONCESSION LIST HAS BEEN THE

SAME. >> WHEN YOU DO YOUR BASKET RAFFLES I DON'T WANT YOU TO TRACK DOWN THAT YOU CAN GET A HOLD OF ANYBODY WE WERE TRYING TO RAFFLE WITH BASKETS AND I NEED SOMEBODY TO PROVE AND I UNDERSTAND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE

OTHER ISSUES THAT COME UP. >> IF WE WANT OTHER VENDORS WE HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH JEFF.

WE HAVE OTHER VENDORS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE COME OUT FOR OPENING DAY WE APPROACH JEFF ASKING HIM ABOUT IT AND HE GETS

THE APPROVALS. >> I DON'T THINK IT'S THEM SELLING THINGS I THINK IT'S A QUESTION OF OTHER VENDORS.

>> YOU WOULD LIKE THE PROTECTION TO STILL BE THERE IS WHAT IT

SOUNDS LIKE. >> WE DON'T NECESSARILY WANT IT.

IT'S IN THE CONTRACT RIGHT NOW WE UP RIGHT IN THE CONTRACT IN

[04:05:02]

IF IT NEEDS TO GET PAST RIGHT NOW SO WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE REGISTRATION AS IT IS WE CAN DO THAT.

AND WE ARE OKAY WITH THAT. IF YOU WANT TO AMEND IT WHEN WE GET TO JANUARY FOR THE NEXT CYCLE THAT'S EVEN BETTER.

>> MAYBE I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN IT DEPENDS ON THE VOTES BUT I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO PASS OUR E- 2023-148 TAKING OUT THE REFERENCE OF ANY FINANCIAL REPORTS IN NUMBER FIVE THE DETAILED FINANCIAL REPORTS TO AN 11:00 A.M. REMOVING 9F WHICH IS IN REGARDS TO TELL THE CITY WITH HER SELLING.

>> I WILL SECOND THE MOTION I THROUGHOUT THE FIRST PITCH.

>> I'M JUST JOKING. >> ALL SECOND THE MOTION.

>> BEFORE YOU VOTE ON THAT THE QUESTION.

WILL THEY BE ABLE TO START REGISTRATION SATURDAY BECAUSE IN YOUR REQUIRED LEGAL TO MAKE THE EDITS IT VERSUS THE AGREEMENT IS SIGNED TODAY OR IS THAT GOING TO CREATE A PROBLEM.

>> @OUR VOTE ENDS ON JULY 31 AND WE SHOULD BE FINE.

>> TO MAKE THOSE AMENDMENTS. >> HAVE YOU HAD ANY ISSUES WITH VENDORS THAT ARE BEEN CRAZY FOR HYD ESSAY?

>> NOT JUST VENDORS THAT COMES OUT TO THEM.

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHERE THEY REPEATEDLY SHOW WHAT AND SOLICIT VENDORS AND PARENTS AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THEY WERE SELLING FOR SOMETHING VERY SPECIFIC OR VAGUE.

>> TO SEE WHAT I'M SAYING. >> HAVING THIS GONE DOES NOT PREVENT THEM FROM TELLING TO BE LOST.

>> WE HAVE A SOLICITATION ORDINANCE.

BECAUSE THIS IS GONE DOES NOT MEAN THOSE PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO

BE THERE. >> SOLICITATION ORDINANCE STILL

APPLIES. >> TELL ME.

>> WHAT I WAS GOING TO ADD TO THE APPROVED VENDORS.

THERE WAS AN ISSUE THAT WE HAVE A NEW PROCESS THAT WERE BRINGING IN AS FAR AS IMPROVING VENDORS THEY MUST SHOW PERMITS AND ALL LICENSES AVAILABLE TO BE USED IN THE HUTTO WILLIAMSON COUNTY CITY LIMITS OF THE COUNTY LIMITS IN THE CITY LIMITS.

INTERNING TO A CONTRACT BETWEEN HYD ESSAY AND THE VENDOR BEFORE THEY'RE ABLE TO COME ON OUR PROPERTY THAT WE DON'T SHOW UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND START SELLING WHATEVER THEY WANT AND SAY AYE NEED VENDORS. I WANT TO ADD WE HAVE THE PROCESS THAT WE ARE IMPLEMENTING.

>> YOU BRING UP A GREAT POINT. WHAT I'M HOPING AND YOU GUYS WILL FIND ALL WORRY ABOUT THE LITTLEST THING BECAUSE I'M TAKING THREE STEPS AHEAD. I WANT HYD ESSAY TO HAVE A THOUSAND KIDS. HAVE A CONCEPT IN MY HEAD WERE THOSE OUT OF CITY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO COME IN AND THEY'RE BEATING DOWN THE DOOR SAYING HOW DO I GET A SPOT TO PLAY IN YOUR LEAGUE. AS THAT'S GROWING WE SHOULD HAVE HER TIME CONSUMED TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS CAN RUN EVERYTHING RIGHT. WE GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE WORRY ABOUT THAT I HAVE NOT MET ONE OF YOU ALL THAT'S NOT WILLING TO DO WHATEVER WE ASK. IF THE CITY MANAGER SAYS THIS IS NOT WORKING RIGHT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE SOME THINGS I'M CONFIDENT YOU'LL CHANGE IT BEFORE IT COMES APPEAR WERE LIABLE TO BLOW IT UP AND GO WITH SOMEBODY ELSE. YOU SEE NOT HAPPEN BEFORE.

WE DO HAVE QUITE A FEW OUT OF TOWN PLAYERS THAT ARE WANTING TO COME IN. WERE HEARING ABOUT MORE FOR THE FALL SEASON THAT WANT TO COME JOIN.

I DO WANT TO ADD THE CITY CREW HAS DONE A GREAT JOB ON MAINTAINING THE FIELDS AND HAVING THEM READY FOR US FOR NOT JUST GAME DAYS BUT DURING THE WEEK FOR PRACTICES.

>> OKAY. GO AHEAD.

>> ONE WE HAVE A CITY ORDINANCE ASSESS THE CONTRACTS ARE ON CALENDAR YEARS. WE HAD MENTIONED WHEN THIS LASS CAME UP WE SHOULD LOOK AT THAT. DO YOU HAVE ANY DESIRE FOR THAT TO CHANGE OUTSIDE AND HAVE DIFFERENT TERMS ON THE CALENDAR

YEAR. >> AUGUST TO JULY?

>> I KNOW FISCAL YEAR IS DIFFERENT FROM THE CALENDAR

YEAR. >> FISCAL YEAR STARTED FOR US THIS MONTH. DOESN'T MATTER EITHER WAY.

FOR US AS LONG AS WE HAVE A CONTRACT AND CAN PARTICIPATE AND

[04:10:03]

START PLANNING AND COMPLAIN. >> A LITTLE BIT MORE OF ADVANCE WHEN YOU WANT TO OPEN REGISTRATION.

>> EVENING JANUARY. I THINK I WAS AT THE LAST MEETING IN JANUARY. THE SAME TIME FRITZ PARK IMPROVEMENTS WERE DONE AND THAT WAS BEHIND AND WE NORMALLY SHOULD START ON DECEMBER AT LEAST.

>> THE OTHER QUESTION THEY USED TO HAVE A SHED AT THE MAJOR FIELDS AND WAS ABLE TO HANDLE SOME OF THE FOOD PREP.

ON ITS OWN LINE IN THE FIELDS AND RUNNING THE BASES OUT.

GIVE A NEED FOR A SHADOW OR STORAGE PROBLEMS I KNOW THAT WAS AN ISSUE. ANOTHER SHED WAS TAKEN AWAY.

>> THERE IS NO STORAGE OTHER THAN THE CONCESSION STAND AND OF COURSE THE CONCESSION STAND YOU TO WANT TO PUT CHALK AND THAT KIND OF STUFF IN THERE. AS AN AGREEMENT THE CITY MAINTAINS THE FIELDS OF DOING MAINTENANCE ON THE FIELDS.

WE DON'T HAVE A NEED TO HAVE THE CHALKER IN THAT KIND OF STUFF AT

THIS TIME. >> IF YOU HAD A SHED CHALKING THE FIELDS, CAN WE ADOPT THAT AGAIN.

YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO STORE THE CHALK IN THE CHALKER'S.

>> YOU CHALKER SITTING IN A STORAGE UNIT? OR IN YOUR GARAGE PROBABLY ONE OF THE OTHER.

>> ONE IS IN THE BARN AND THE COUPLE ARE IN THE STORAGE.

>> IS THE REASON WHY YOU WANT YOUR STAFF TO CHALK THE FIELDS LIKE THESE GUYS AND THE REASON I'M ASKING YOU NOT JUST IS ULTIMATELY YOUR EMPLOYEES WORKING.

I USUALLY DON'T DO OVERTIME FOR STUFF LIKE THAT.

THE SHORT ANSWER IT ENDS UP BEING A MATTER THAT WE HAVE A LEVEL OF QUALITY. IF WE WANT THEM TO GIVE IT A GO GIVE IT AN INSPECTION TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS CARED FOR I'M FINE WITH THAT BUT THE ALTERNATIVE OF HAVING OUR FOLKS DOING IT THERE ALSO INSPECTING AND DOING OTHER THINGS BEING AWARE AND BEING IN THE SPACE AND THE VALUE AND WE CAN LET THEM MAKE THE FIELDS AND TAKE CARE OF THE DIRT AND PUT OUT THE PAINT AND EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO DO AND THAT'S GOING TO INSPECT EVERY SO OFTEN WE CAN DO THAT TO I DON'T KNOW IF IT SAVES ME A WHOLE LOT TO NOT HAVE US DOING IT PER SE BUT IT'S CERTAINLY ANOTHER TASK IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET RE-CHOCKED FAIRLY REGULARLY BECAUSE A FEW OF THE TOURNAMENTS GOING ON AND MULTIPLE GAMES GOING ON THE CHALK LINES TO GET MESSED UP AT LEAST THEY DID WHEN

I PLAYED. >> IF THE CHALK LINE GETS MESSED UP IS THAT A DISAGREEMENT YOU HAVE TO CALL SOMEBODY,

RE-CHALKING THEY. >> CORRECT.

>> NORMALLY IT IS AHEAD OF TIME PUTTING THEM NO WE WANT SOMEBODY TO COME OUT DURING THE TOURNAMENT AT 2:00 O'CLOCK TO REMARK THE FIELDS AND THEN A $25 PER FILL I BELIEVE.

>> TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS PER PERSON TO COME OUT AND MARK THE

FIELD. >> I'M HAPPY TO LET YOU MARK THE FIELD THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO BUT DON'T AGREE TO DO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT. I'LL NOT SEND MY GUYS OUT THERE TO DO IT IF YOU SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO DO AND I'M TAKING IT

OUT OF THE AGREEMENT. >> IS A LITTLE PREMATURE BECAUSE THEY NEED A PLACE TO STORE THE STUFF OUT THERE, THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM. I THINK FOR THE CURRENT CONTRACT TO DECEMBER PROBABLY LEAVE IT AS IS, THAT'S ANOTHER THING TO LOOK AT THIS AS A WAY TO ALLOW ACCESS TO STORAGE.

>> HERE'S WHAT I SAY. HOW ABOUT THIS.

IF YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN CHALK THE FIELD YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL US TO COME CHALK IT.

>> WE HAVE TO LET THEM STORE STUFF.

>> WHAT I'M SAYING THE CONTRACT SAYS WE CHALK BUT IF THEY ARE ABLE TO GET THERE STORAGE IN THE CHALK STUFF THERE AND THEN THEY CHALK THEY DON'T HAVE TO CALL US TO COME CHALK.

IT WORKS BOTH WAYS. >> WERE IN THE AGREEMENT IS ESSAY THAT THEY COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN.

>> NOWHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TO PUT A SHED.

[04:15:01]

>> MAYBE NEXT YEAR YOU CAN DECIDE ZIKA PUT A 5-DOLLAR SHUT UP SO THEY DO HAVE TO PAY $25 AN HOUR.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT AGREEMENT.

>> I HEAR YOU PART OF THE ISSUE IS THE GRANULARITY OF ALL OF THIS GETTING DOWN INTO. DO WE WANT TO CHALK THE FIELDS OR NOT. IF WE DON'T THEN WE'LL FIGURE OUT A PATH TO LET THEM CHALK THEM.

>> I JUST WANT TO USE THE BALLFIELDS TO THEIR USE AS LONG AS THEY DON'T RUN UP THE OUTFIELD AND TARIFF THE INFIELD THEM WERE DONE. I DON'T WHAT THE CITY BECAUSE THAT WOULD INVOLVED IN QUESTIONING WHY DID YOU CHALK, WHEN DID YOU TALK, WHAT KIND OF CHALK DID YOU USE.

A ONE ABOUT THEM DO THEIR THING AND TO ME THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR NOW I WANT TO LOOK IN JANUARY I DON'T WANT US BUILDING A SHED SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO CHALK OR THEY CAN START

CHALKING. >> WHAT I WAS TRYING TO IMPLY, IT IS OUR PARK, WE CAN AGREE TO LET A SHED.

WE NEED TO HAVE DOLLARS. >> DOES THIS AFFECT THE WRECKED

LEAGUES AT ALL THE COED LEAGUES? >> PART OF THE AGREEMENT THEY HAVE A FIELD CERTAIN DAY SO IT DOES NOT IMPACT.

>> WHAT ARE THE CERTAIN DAYS YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING AT.

>> THEY HAVE ACCESS TO TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT FIELDS, WHAT IS MAKER AND THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THAT 60S A WEEK THURSDAY IS ONLY DAY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE IT THAT'S THE DAY THE CITY RENTED OUT FOR PRIVATE USE IN THE BASIC FIELD MAINTENANCE THAT WE DO OUT THERE, HOLMSTROM IS MONDAY THEY HAVE ACCESS, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AND THEY'LL HAVE ACCESS ON THURSDAY, SUNDAY, TUESDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY THEY HAVE ACCESS TO PLAY THEIR LEAGUES AND

GAMES FOR. >> WE ALREADY HAD A MOTION.

ARE YOU GUYS DONE? PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.

>> TO APPOINT. >> WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO

SWITCH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY? >> THE FIELD MAINTENANCE CHALKING IN THAT KIND OF STUFF THAT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO KNOW AHEAD OF TIME NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE CHALKING THAT IS FAIRLY SIMPLE BUT IF WE BECOME REQUIRED TO START DRAGGING THE FIELDS THAT KIND OF STUFF THAN WE WOULD HAVE TO GET A MACHINE TO DO THAT. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING

DIFFERENT. >> WILL KEEP IT LIKE THIS BUT AT SOME POINT YOU WILL WANT TO TAKE ON MORE AND BE BIGGER THAN I THANK YOU GUYS SHOULD BE EMPOWERED AND WE CAN TAKE THIS STUFF ON YOUR 5O1C3 YOUR HERE TO LESSEN THE BURDEN OF GOVERNMENT ON US AND THE MORE THAT YOU EMPOWERED TO DO THE LESS WE HAVE TO PAY TO DO WHICH HELPS YOU AS CITIZENS AND WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANT TO DO SHORT OF MOVING A FIELD OR SOMETHING MAYBE WE

SHOULD WORK TO LET YOU DO THAT. >> OF THE BILL GETS MESSED UP WE CAN'T USE IT WE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF AS MUCH AS YOU ALL DO.

I ONLY PULLED THIS BECAUSE THE PRICE GO UP?

>> YES BUT WHEN WE WENT OUT ORIGINALLY WE DID NOT BID THE WATER AND WASTEWATER PIECE. SO IT WAS AMENDED BASICALLY TO TAKE THAT COST INTO ACCOUNT IN FINANCE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. WE HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO

MANAGE THAT PROCESS. >> THE EC HAS THE DIFFERENCE FOR THE WATER, WASTEWATER AND DRAINAGE.

>> THE EDC DOES NOT HAVE A DIFFERENCE AND THIS WILL BE DISCUSSED DURING THE 24 BUDGET THE CIP PLAN.

BUT THAT IS MONEY THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH.

IF YOU ASKED ME TODAY WHAT MY RECOMMENDATION MIGHT BE, THERE ARE FUNDS IN THE UTILITY FUND THAT COULD BE USED FOR THAT WERE POSSIBILITY OF ISSUANCE OF A BOND OR OTHER THINGS THAT CAN BEGIN BUT CURRENTLY THERE ARE FUNDS AVAILABLE.

>> WE BONDED 12 AND A HALF MILLION SO IT IS THE DIFFERENCE.

>> WE BONDED 12 AND A HALF-MILLION GENERAL OBLIGATION FUNDS SO THAT WAS TAX DOLLARS. BECAUSE THE OTHER ITEM THE OTHER COST, THE 6 MILLION IS RELATED TO WASTEWATER AND ATTENTION AND IF WE WERE TO ISSUE BONDS THEY WOULD NOT BE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS SUPPORTED BY TAXES. THEY WILL BE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION SUPPORTED BY USER FEES.

WE COME FROM YOUR UTILITY FUND. >> THAT IS WHERE IT SEEMS LIKE ON TWO DIFFERENT SIDES THAT'S WHERE I DON'T AGREE WITH THE WASTEWATER BECAUSE THE ROAD IS THERE TO BENEFIT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY. TO ME THAT BENEFITS 450 ACRES, THE WASTEWATER THAT IS ALL COMING THROUGH THEIR TO THE REST OF HUTTO SUPPLYING MORE WATER THAT IS NOT EXCLUSIVELY TO JUST

THAT AREA. >> I DON'T THINK SO, THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS ON THE SPINE ROAD WATER WASTEWATER.

THE ONES YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT OUR 132 WITH SOUTH PARK THAT WE SAW EARLIER IN THE CIP REPORT. $8 MILLION.

>> FOR THE INTERNAL PIPELINE. IS THAT ACCURATE?

>> YES IT IS THE INTERNAL LINE DOWN THE SPINE ROAD.

WE HAD THE CONVERSATION WERE GIVEN DIRECTION OF WATER WASTEWATER AND ATTENTION TO THE PROJECT.

ONCE WE BUILD THE ROAD THEN YOU HAVE THE ISSUE OF HOW DO WE GET WASTEWATER OUT OF THE PROJECT. WE ONLY HAVE IT DOWN ON THE FAR SOUTH IT'S ANOTHER UTILITY ITEM THAT GOT ADDED TO THE PROJECT.

>> $6 MILLION FOR 1500 LINEAR FEET OF WATER AND WASTEWATER

LINES. >> IS ALSO THE DETENTION.

>> ALSO THE DETENTION. >> FIGURE PAY TO GO TO THE

DETENTION. >> THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE SAID BUT UNTIL YOU HAVE AGREEMENTS IN ALL OF THAT.

>> ALSO PLANNING AND ZONING ASSETS TO ADD ANOTHER 10% AS

CONTINGENCY AGAINST THE PROJECT. >> WHAT THE ESTIMATED COST OF

THE DETENTION FUND IS. >> I SEE THE PICTURE THAT HAS THE ROAD, WHERE IS THE DETENTION POND?

>> I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DEFER TO THE CITY ENGINEER, I AM SO

SORRY. >> COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK IS RIGHT THERE IS A CONCEPT WE WILL SPEND OUR HARD EARNED MONEY AND GET REIMBURSED BY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT BUT A LOT OF CITIES SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THEY SPEND A LOT OF MONEY AND THEN THE DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE RECESSION AND THEY'RE STUCK PAYING FOR IT. I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING WHERE THE DETENTION POND WAS AND WHERE THEY PUT TOWARDS THAT.

I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION WITH THE

[04:25:01]

IT'S GOOD TO BE CLOSER TO 33 33 - 49.

>> HOW BIG IS IT? >> I WANT TO SAY THE FIRST PASS

IT WAS 40 ACRES. >> 40 ACRE-FEET BUT I KNOW ALSO TITAN HAS CONTACTED US WITHIN THE PAST WEEK OR SO ASKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THEM BEING IN THE RETENTION POND AND THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL ANALYSIS.

>> HOW BIG IS A 40 ACRE-FEET IS ADDED 10-FOOT DEEP DEPENDS UPON

SPREAD OVER HAVE ANY ACRES? >> IT IS SIMPLE MATH.

>> I'M NOT GOOD AT MATH. >> 40 ACRE-FEET IF HE USED

10 FEET DEEP WOULD BE FOR ACRES. >> WHAT IS THE COST TO DIG IN

FOR ACRES 10 FEET DEEP? >> IT MAY NOT DRAIN THAT THE OTHER PROBLEM YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY DO THAT.

>> WERE BEING ASKED TO REFUND MONEY I'M THINKING YOU GUYS

REALLY HAVE THIS BEDDED OUT? >> WERE GOING OFF OF ENGINEERING

THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED. >> PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING ESTIMATES. CONTINGENCIES BUILT-IN IN THE TOP OF THE CONTINGENCIES WILL BE BROUGHT THIS TO THE FIRST ITERATION FOR PLANNING AND ZONING FOR THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE 2024 CIP PROGRAM. THEY WANTED US TO ADD AN EXTRA 10% ON TOP OF THAT TO COVER ANY INFLATION.

>> HOW MUCH ARE YOU GUYS THINK OF THE DETENTION POND IS GOING

TO RUN. >> I APOLOGIZE I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS READILY AVAILABLE I'LL HAVE TO DIG THROUGH THE PROBABLE

CAUSE. >> FROM A LEGAL QUESTION IF TWO OR THREE PEOPLE HEAVILY AND UNDER CONTRACT, I DON'T REMEMBER THERE IS ONE AGREEMENT BUT THE OTHER ONE HAS IT.

IS THERE WAY. >> THEY ARE GIVING UP THEIR LAND TO DO DETENTION ON THEIR OWN PLACE OR THEY GET PAID TO USE THE OTHER BECAUSE THE LAND IS MORE VALUABLE FOR WHAT THEY PAY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND DO A DETENTION FEE.

>> AT ANOTHER WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE ON THE BOOK WHICH IS WHAT THE MAYOR IS GETTING A. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S AN ORDINANCE FOR CAPITAL COST RECOVERY CAPITAL COST PARTICIPATION OR REGIONAL DETENTION THAT WE CAN EASILY CREATE THAT AND THAT WILL GIVE THE OUTLET FOR THE FOCUS WHO'S ALREADY UNDER CONTRACT WITH THAT LANGUAGE IN THERE TO GIVE THEM THE OPTION TO DETAIN ON-SITE THEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DETENTION POND.

>> THAT IS SCARY BECAUSE COUNCIL MEMBER CLARK SAYS IT'S CHEAPER TO DO IT THIS WAY WE DON'T HOW MUCH IS GOING TO COST AND WE KNOW THE LAND IS $3 A SQUARE FOOT ON THEIR AREA.

IF WE COME OUT AND CRUNCH IT BECAUSE CITIES DON'T DO THINGS CHEAP. IF YOU CAN GET IN HERE IT'S GOING TO COST YOU X AMOUNT OF HOWEVER, MUCH WE CALCULATE PER GALLON OF WATER AND THEY GO WAIT A MINUTE AND $3 A FOOT I BROUGHT THIS LIEN AND I'M GETTING DUDE APPEAR I GOT A LOW SPOT IN I'M GOING TO GRADE OUT AND MOVE IT OUT.

>> IF WE ADOPT AN ORDINANCE WE CAN FORCE THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT ZONE. YOU ASK AND WHAT I'M TRYING TO RESPOND TO THE ONE WHO HAD UNDER CONTRACT TO NEW MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT IN YOUR SALES CONTRACT.

IT'S THE FORCING SECURITY TO PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU'RE BEING FORCED TO DO SOMETHING THAT THE CITY DOESN'T KNOW HOW MUCH IS GOING TO COST, WHOSE GET ASSIGNED THE PROPERTY KNOWING WERE GOING TO FORCE THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN SOMETHING AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO THESE GUYS CAN GET A ROAD DESIGN BUILT IN HUTTO AND I'VE GOT A TIMELINE FOR SAMPSON AND I GOT AGO AND WERE GETTING INTO DEVELOPING BUSINESS AND WE CAN BUILD ROADS AS IT IS IN OUR CITY AND IT'S MAKING ME NERVOUS WERE TAKEN ON ADDITIONAL THINGS WERE MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE PAYING DETENTION ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY AND WHERE IT GOES FROM THERE IT DRAIN SOMEWHERE AND I DON'T HOW THAT WORKS.

I'M JUST THROWING CAUTION AFTER THAT THE SPINE ROAD WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BUILT AT THIS POINT TIME AND THAT GOT US IN

[04:30:03]

I GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THE REASON WE END UP WITH THE REGIONAL DETENTION SOLUTION THE WAY I RECALL THE NARRATIVE FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT IS THAT WE WERE BEING APPROACHED TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT WE DON'T WANT TO DETAIN ON OUR SIDE BECAUSE WE WANT OUR PROPERTY TO BE DEVELOPABLE OR IN THE CASE WERE THAT WASN'T THE CASE IT WAS I'M NOT PAYING YOU FOR THE LAND THAT I HAVE TO BUILD A DETENTION ON SO YOU'RE GOING TO CALCULATE OUT THE DETENTION FROM THE DEVELOPABLE ACREAGE AND I'M GOING TO PAY FOR THE NET DEVELOPABLE ACREAGE ANOTHER AREA

FOR DETENTION. >> OR THE FIRST PART BUT NEVER THE SECOND PART. MY GUESS NO ONE WATCHING SAYS HATTAWAY DETAIN MY WATER THEY PROBABLY ALWAYS SAY CAN I SHEET FLOW LISTEN TO BRUSHY CREEK BECAUSE THEY COME UP WITH AN

EXCUSE. >> NOBODY WALKS INTO CITY HALL AND SAYS CAN YOU GUYS TAKE IT ON, I JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE. IF YOU CAN ABOUT YOUR JOB THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET DESIGN THE AND ON TIME AND IN BUDGET, FINE, JUST KNOW IN MY MIND IF YOU ALL AS STAFF TELL HER SHE CAN GET THIS DONE AND DEVELOPER SIGNED UP SAYING GREAT WERE DONE AND YOU COME BACK ANY YEAR END SAINT WERE BEHIND IN DEFAULT OF CONTRACT I MAKE A MOTION AND WE KEEP MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES OVER AND OVER WHICH IS TAKEN ON RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY BUSINESS TAKING ON. INJURE DEVELOPERS IF I WAS DEVELOPING 200 ACRES I WOULD EASILY SAY CAN THE CITY PLEASE DO THIS FOR ME IN WRITING AND CONTRACTED NO DECISION I DON'T WANT TO COME AFTER YOU. I KEEP TAKING ON RESPONSIBILITY AND THE PUBLIC WANTS US TO BUILD LIMBER IN 1660, 1679 THEY DON'T WANT US FOCUS ON DETENTION PONDS AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF.

>> WE WON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH RIGHT AWAY OR ANYTHING BECAUSE THE LAND OF THE EDC. I JUST WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK CLEAR ON THAT NO GRAY AREA IN THE LITTLE PIECE OF LAND.

PERFECT. IT SAYS IN THE GENERAL SUMMARY EDC HIRES CONTRACTOR FOR THE ROAD AND THE EDC PAID FOR THE CONTRACTOR THE STUDIO REIMBURSED THE EEC FOR CONSTRUCTION SO WILL

THE EDC THEN REIMBURSE THE CITY? >> IT IS NOT PLANNED FOR THAT

NOW TO BE A CITY STREET. >> WERE GETTING TAKEN THE 12 TO REQUIRE SIX MORE IN THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE.

>> WE CAN PAY THAT BACK. >> THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS THAT PLAY IN HERE YOU HAVE YOUR JOINT MEETING COMING UP WITH THE EDC WHERE YOU CAN TALK TO SOME OF THESE ISSUES WHERE YOU ARE INVESTING IN THE LAND IS GOING UP IN VALUE BUT THE EDC OWNS THE LAND SO THERE'S THAT CONVERSATION AND THE DETERS IN THE PARTICULAR AREA IN THE 312 AND THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT MOVING COMPONENTS WHERE YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS BUT RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS I KNOW THE CITY ISSUED THE DEBT IN THE CITY IS BUILDING THE ROAD NOW THEY'RE BUILDING THE WATER IN THE WASTEWATER IN THE DETENTION.

I BELIEVE THIS WAS NOT STAFF SAYING LET'S GO DO THIS THING.

I BELIEVE WE WERE ASKED TO DO THIS.

>> THE AGREEMENT OR THE DETENTION.

>> THE WATER IN THE WASTEWATER. >> THE DETENTION THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN A STAFF PUSH. I'LL TELL YOU WE ARE CRAZY FOR TAKING A SIGN. I KEEP BEING TOLD IT'S THE BEST THING TO TAKE I HAVE BEEN TOLD HOW MUCH AND IF IT GOES OVER BUDGET. MY UNDERSTANDING COUNCIL MEMBER KOLAR, RIGHT NOW WERE RECOVERING THE COST BUT THERE CERTAINLY IS A BENEFIT TO THE VALUE OF THE LIEN IN THAT VALUE GOES TO THE EDC TO SPLIT THAT STUFF AND PAY FOR WITH WHATEVER YOU WANT TO

[04:35:08]
