>> WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NEW APPLICATIONS. WE DID NOT MEET THE PAST TWO WEEKS. THE CITY STAFF IS STILL WORKING THROUGH THE LIST OF THOSE WHOSE TERMS EXPIRE IN JUNE, AND WE SHOULD GET A REPORT. WHEN WOULD YOU THINK THE REPORT WILL COME BACK? IN ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO. THEN WE WILL KNOW WHO IS INTERESTED IN REAPPLYING AND STAYING ON VERSUS WHO IS NOT,

[9.1. Consideration and possible action on Ordinance No. O-2024-031 amending Chapter 1, Article 1.07 (Parades) of the Code of Ordinances (First Reading) (Councilmember Dan Thornton)]

SO WE WILL HAVE A COMPLETE LIST OF THE VACANCIES SO WE CAN GET

IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC. >> ALL RIGHT. ITEM 9.1, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ORDINANCE NUMBER O-2024-031 AMENDING CHAPTER 1 ARTICLE 1.07 , PARADES, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES. I BELIEVE THIS WAS TALKED ABOUT THE LAST MEETING, AND THESE HAVE THE REQUESTED CHANGES BY STAFF.

>> MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER CLARK, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER THORNTON. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION?

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF ARE PUTTING IN THE

WORK AND MAKING SOME UPDATES. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO STAFF ARE COLLABORATING WITH ALL ENTITIES AND GETTING THIS BROUGHT BACK WITH THESE NECESSARY CHANGES. THANK YOU ESPECIALLY TO CHIEF JONES AND CHIEF YARBOROUGH FOR PROVIDING YOUR SUPPORT AS WELL.

>> PLEASE CALL THE VOTE. >> BEFORE YOU CALL THE VOTE I WANTED TO POINT SOMETHING OUT. SO ORDINANCES NOW DO NOT NEED TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER. YOU CAN PROVIDE FOR PUBLICATION. TYPICALLY IS THERE -- IF THERE IS A FINE OR PENALTY, YOU COULD PUBLISH THE CAPTION, OR THE COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT ANY ORDINANCE AT THE CITY PASSES TO JUST POST ON THE WEBSITE . SO IN YOUR MOTION IF YOU WANT TO ADD TO POST THIS ORDINANCE ON THE WEBSITE, THE CHARTER COMMITTEE THOUGHT THAT POSTING ON THE WEBSITE WOULD GET MORE ATTENTION TO WHAT THE COUNCIL ACTION WAS , RATHER THAN POSTING A CAPTION IN THE

NEWSPAPER. >> I WOULD BE OKAY WITH THAT.

ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT RIGHT NOW? I THINK YOU SAID YEAH.

OKAY. WE COULDN'T HEAR YOU, BUT WE SAW.

>> SO PROCEDURAL, DO WE NEED TO DO THAT ON EVERY ORDINANCE NOW?

>> I CAN BRING BACK AN ORDINANCE FOR YOUR HUTTO CODE ORDINANCES SAYING THAT ORDINANCES SHALL BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE, OR IF YOU WANT ME TO ADD THAT , OR PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER IF -- IF , IF, IF DIRECTED BY COUNSEL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO GIVE YOU THE OPTION. THIS WAY YOU CAN CHANGE IT EASIER THAN CHANGING THE CHARTER.

>> A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM, AN ORDINANCE DISCUSSING HOW WE

PUBLISH ORDINANCES. >> CORRECT.

>> THAT'S GOVERNMENT. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEAR VOTE.

>> IS FROZEN. MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON?

>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER THOMPSON .

>> AYE. >> COUNCILMEMBER KOLAR .

>> AYE . >> MAYOR SNYDER .

>> AYE. >> COUNCILMEMBER CLARK , ARE

YOU THERE? >> THE MOTION PASSES 5-0 --

>> SIX . >> 6-0 , YES, BUT 7:30, BECAUSE COUNCILMEMBER CLARK IS NOT AT THE MEETING PICKETS ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE NOT DOING WELL. WHEN HE COMES BACK IS GOING TO

BE A NIGHTMARE. >> I'M HERE. I'M HERE. I'M

HERE. I'M HERE. >> WAIT A MINUTE. YOUR PICTURE HAS TO BE -- I'M PRETTY SURE BY STATE LAW WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE YOU , AND WE CAN'T JUST HAVE A PICTURE OF YOU. WE HAVE TO SEE YOU, AND IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO BE SEEN -- YOU ARE NOT ON VIDEO, SIR. IT IS A FROZEN PICTURE.

>> OKAY. LET ME RECONNECT, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT I AM ON

[00:25:02]

VIDEO. >> FOR THE RECORD, I REALLY, REALLY , REALLY DISLIKE WHATEVER THIS IS CALLED .

>> SO ARE WE GOING TO DO 6-0 ON THIS ONE?

>> CAN YOU SEE ME? >> NO.

>> NOT LIVE. >> IYO EXIT.

>> WHEN WE -- WHEN YOU COME BACK ON, WE WILL COLLECT YOU

[11.2. Consideration and possible action relating to TPDES Wastewater Permit Applications in the City of Hutto Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (Legal)]

BACK IN ON THE MEETING. 6-0 FOR ITEM 9.1. ITEM 11.2, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RELATING TO TPDES WASTEWATER PERMIT APPLICATIONS IN THE CITY OF HUTTO EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. THIS IS OUR STANDING AGENDA

ITEM, RIGHT? >> CORRECT.

>> THE CITY MANAGER AND I MET WITH THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK ON MONDAY, HAD A VERY GOOD MEETING. THEY ARE WORKING. IT IS VERY COLLABORATIVE. WE ARE WORKING ON WAYS TO RESOLVE SOME OF OUR ISSUES ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF HUTTO . I DON'T KNOW JAMES , IS THERE ANY OTHER , THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP,

RIGHT? >> UNLESS HE WANTED ME TO GIVE

MORE DETAIL THAN THAT? >> I'M JUST TRYING TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WE ARE ACTIVELY MEETING NOT JUST WITH DEVELOPERS, BUT ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP WITH THE SITUATION SO THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT WE ARE JUST BLOWING OFF. AND 7:33 , COUNCILMEMBER CLARK BACK IN THE MEETING.

>> AND THEN THERE IS ANOTHER MEETING SCHEDULED FOR THE PRAIRIE CROSSING T CQ APPLICATION .

>> PRAIRIE CROSSING, WHERE IS THAT WHEN AT?

>> IT IS -- WHERE IS THE PRAIRIE CROSSING? IS THAT A NEW

ONE? >> I DON'T RECOGNIZE THE NAME.

>> NOT LOOK LIKE THAT WHEN HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE UPDATED MAP YET, UNLESS IT IS ONE OF THESE THAT I DON'T RECOGNIZE.

>> THERE IS IN A ONE CALLED PRAIRIE CROSSING?

>> ANYWAY, RAGA TEAM AND IS THE DEVELOPER AND HE IS MEETING WITH OUR JOE FREELAND, OUR OUTSIDE COUNSEL THAT IS HELPING THE CITY . THEY HAVE A MEETING SCHEDULED AT THE END OF THE

MONTH ON THAT ONE. >> SO IT IS DOWN ON THE

SOUTHERN SIDE -- >> SOUTHEAST. WHAT IS IT CALLED

AGAIN? PRAIRIE -- >> CROSSING.

>> WE ARE CALLING AT THE PRAIRIE CROSSING'S GROUP. THAT

MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT -- >> SO FOR THE RECORD, MATT RECTOR, CITY ENGINEER. PRAIRIE CROSSING IS ACTUALLY A MUD THAT IS FARTHER TO THE EAST , SO COUNTY ROAD, SORRY, FM 3349, WE KNOW ABOUT CLO WHICH IS ON YOUR MAP. FURTHER TO THE EAST, CLOSER TO THE SAMSUNG PLANT, THERE IS ANOTHER MUTT OUT THERE CALLED PRAIRIE CROSSING , AND WE HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM TO TALK ABOUT HOW ALL OF THAT SERVICE IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN

THE SOUTH, SOUTHERN PORTION. >> IT IS EARLY TO WHERE THEY HAVEN'T STARTING APPLYING . THEY WANT MORE INFORMATION FOR

WHAT WE HAVE FOR SERVICES. >> I BELIEVE THEY HAD APPLIED, BUT THEY HAD APPLIED BASED ON THEM SERVING CIELO , WHICH WE ARE TALKING TO THEM RIGHT NOW, SO WE ARE GOING TO MEET AS A GROUP TO TALK THROUGH WHO IS DOING WHAT AND WHERE IT'S

GOING TO GO. >> IT APPEARS TO BE BASED OFF OF THE DOCUMENT THAT IS HERE IN MY POSSESSION THAT THERE WAS AN ORDER GRANTING THE PETITION FOR THE CREATION OF PRAIRIE CREEK CROSSING UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER TWO DATED NOVEMBER 22, 2021 , SO THAT MEANS THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR MOTTO ESTABLISHED , BUT NOW THEY ARE TALKING TO US ABOUT IF THAT WOULD BE AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM. WITH THAT THE ALTO --

APPROPRIATE? >> THE CLO GROUP WHICH IS TO THE WEST OF THEM, EAST OF US , JUST TO THE EAST OF 3349 , WAS TALKING TO THAT MUD, MUD NUMBER TWO ABOUT THEM PUTTING A PACKAGE PLANT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A VERY LARGE PLANT TO SERVE NOT ONLY THE PRAIRIE CROSSING, BUT THE CIELO GROUP AS WELL . BASICALLY THEY WERE TRYING TO FORM THEIR OWN LITTLE

[00:30:04]

WASTEWATER CONGLOMERATE SOUTH OF TAYLOR .

>> OKAY. >> IT IS FM 973 , DOES THAT

SOUND FAMILIAR? >> THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE. YEAH.

>> OKAY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM

[11.3. Consideration and possible action on the recommendation for the update to the Wastewater Utility CIP projects to accelerate the Avery Lake Interceptor (WW13 and WW23) (Matt Rector)]

COUNSEL ON 11.2? ALL RIGHT. 11.3 , CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE UPDATE TO THE WASTEWATER UTILITY CIP PROJECTS TO ACCELERATE THE AVERY LAKE INTERCEPTOR , WW13 AND WW23. THIS ITEM WAS BROUGHT ON THE AGENDA BASED ON A MEETING THAT WE HAD WITH LANDOWNERS ON THE WEST SIDE OF 130 , AND I WILL LET YOU TELL US WHY THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE AN IMPORTANT THING FOR US.

>> AGAIN , MATT RECTOR, CITY ENGINEER. THIS ITEM, AS THE MAYOR INDICATED , PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO ARE PART OF THE MASTER PLAN. IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE 2022 WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE WASTEWATER MAP REALLY QUICK? OR THE PACKAGE PLANT? SO IT IS KIND OF HARD TO SEE UP THERE, BUT IF YOU SEE NUMBER SIX, THAT IS THE PEARL ESTATES DEVELOPMENT , AND SO, THEY HAVE APPLIED FOR A PACKAGE PLANT , AND WE WERE LIMITARY TALKING TO THEM LAST YEAR ABOUT POSSIBLY GETTING SERVICE FROM THE CITY, SO WE WORKED WITH THEIR TEAM AS WELL AS ANOTHER TEAM TO COME UP WITH KIND OF A PLAN , AND WE EVEN INCLUDED A BUNCH OF THE OTHER LANDOWNERS THAT WERE IN BETWEEN TO SEE HOW WE COULD MAKE THAT I'LL HAPPEN.

UNFORTUNATELY , WHEN THE PRICE TAG CAME IN, THE DEVELOPER WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT THAT BILL , AND BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE IT IN OUR CIP , WE WERE NOT ABLE TO FOOT THE BILL EITHER. SO THE DEVELOPER WENT TO FIND ALTERNATIVE METHODOLOGIES. LAST WEEK ON MONDAY , THERE WE GO, THERE WAS A CONVERSATION ABOUT POTENTIALLY EXPEDITING THESE TWO PROJECTS , TO ADD THESE TO OUR CURRENT CIP , ADD THESE TO THE CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED BOND AMOUNTS THAT THE COUNCIL HAS ALREADY AUTHORIZED US TO GO ISSUE , TO CONSTRUCT THESE WASTEWATER LINES THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY SERVE NOT ONLY THE PEARL ESTATES , BUT IT WOULD ALSO SERVE THE LAND BETWEEN PEARL ESTATES AND 79. IT WOULD SERVE THE ISD PROPERTY THAT IS OUT THE PEARL ESTATES , THE AVERY PROPERTIES THAT ARE SOUTH OF THE ISD PROPERTIES, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 79. WHEN YOU CROSS UNDER 79 AND THAT IS WHEN YOU GET TO WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS THE TEX-MEX SITE OR THE AUTO INDUSTRIAL SITE, SO IT WOULD SERVE THEM, AND THEN IT WOULD CROSS UNDER 130 AND CONNECT INTO OUR EXISTING SYSTEM. SO IT IS KIND OF A LENGTHY RUN. THERE ARE A LOT OF CROSSINGS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CROSS 179 AND 130. IT IS NOT CHEAP. IT IS NOT EASY. YOU ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SCS RESERVOIR THERE, AND I HAVE ALREADY BEEN CONTACTED BY THE TEAM, WATER CONTROL INDICATING THAT THEY WANT TO WORK WITH US ON THIS, BECAUSE BASICALLY THEY HAVE BLANKET EASEMENTS ALL THROUGH THAT RESERVOIR AREA , AND WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE IN THE LOOP EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, BASICALLY THAT'S WHAT THEY CONTACTED ME TODAY AND SAID. ALL THAT SAID, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN , THESE PROJECTS PENCIL OUT TO BE AROUND $18 MILLION IN THE COSTS THAT WERE PRESENTED IN 2022. WE HAVE LOOKED AT CAN WE FIT THAT INTO THE CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED AMOUNT , AND OF COURSE THE ANSWER IS YES. WE JUST HAVE TO SHIFT OTHER THINGS AROUND. WE SENT OUT A MEMO EARLIER TO COUNSEL EARLIER THIS WEEK BASICALLY OUTLINING OUR RECOMMENDATION, SO WHAT WE THINK WE CAN DO IS WE CAN DELAY THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CENTRAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION PHASE ONE, GO AHEAD AND GET THAT ASSIGNED, BUT DELAY THE CONSTRUCTION. THAT FREES UP SOME OF THE MONEY WE WOULD NEED, BUT NOT ENOUGH. SO THEN WE WENT TO THE DEVELOPER AND ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THE DESIGN AND THE CONSTRUCTION , AND PAY THEIR PRO RATA SHARE OF THE PROJECT, AND THEN THE CITY JUST PAY THE REST OF THEIR PRO RATA SHARE IN THE NUMBERS ROUGHLY WRECKED OUT TO AROUND , I THINK THEIR PRO RATA SHARE IS ROUGHLY

[00:35:06]

19% AND OURS WOULD BE AROUND 81% OF THE COST, SO THEN THAT REDUCES THE AMOUNT THAT THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO PAY, AND IT DEFINITELY REDUCES THE AMOUNT THAT WE WERE ORIGINALLY ASKING THE DEVELOPER TO PAY. THE DEVELOPER INDICATED THAT THAT WITH SOME OTHER THINGS THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTION . UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TO GET US WHERE WE WANT TO BE . SO, THE NEXT THING WE LOOKED AT, WE WENT BACK TO THAT ORIGINAL LIST THAT YOU GUYS

>> PRO RATA SHARE AGAIN. I THINK THE DECISION FOR US NEEDS TO BE INITIALLY TO ADD THIS TO THE CIP. IF THE ANSWER IS NO, PEARL ESTATES, WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PACKAGE PLANT AND THERE IS NOTHING WE ARE GOING TO DO TO STOP IT. IF WE DO GIVE IT TO CIP THAT GIVES US TIME TO FIGURE OUT OTHER WAYS TO FUND THIS. TO ME THE IMPORTANT VOTE TONIGHT. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO TELL THE DEVELOPERS, THE VERTICAL LINE OR THE PACKAGE

PLANT, IS THAT SAFE TO SAY. >> THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I WILL ADD IN MR. MAYOR IS THAT PEARL ESTATES IS ALSO MEETING WITH THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY, I DON'T THINK THERE IS A CONVERSATION, BUT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY COULD BE LOOKING TO ROUND ROCK FOR THIS

QUESTIONS OR ACTIONS FROM COUNSEL?

>> SO WITH THAT I THE , IS THERE -- I KNOW DAY JUST RECENTLY ACQUIRED THAT LAND. DO THEY HAVE ANY KIND OF ETA ON WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD THAT SCHOOL? JUST LIKE

TIMEFRAME? >> I DON'T HAVE A TIMEFRAME. I WAS THERE THIRD HIGH SCHOOL. I DON'T KNOW.

>> COUNCILMEMBER KOLAR, FOR THE RECORD, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DID NOT CONVEY TO US THEIR INTENTION OF WHEN THEY WOULD BE TARGETING A BOND ELECTION, BUT IT WOULD REQUIRE A BOND ELECTION TO BUILD THE FACILITIES OF THE VOTERS, AND WHAT THEY EXPLAINED WAS IS THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS IMMUNE FROM PAYING IMPACT FEES, BUT THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY IMMUNE FROM PAYING THEIR PRO RATA SHARE OF THE COST OF INFRASTRUCTURE. SO IF THIS DOES GO FORWARD , THEY WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THEIR PRO RATA SHARE OF THE COST OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO INCLUDE WHEN THEY GO TO BOND IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO REIMBURSE US. AS FAR AS TIME GOES, WE DO NOT KNOW A TIMELINE ON ANY OF THE PROPERTIES THAT WE WOULD BE CARRYING, AT THE CITY, THE TAXPAYERS OF THIS COMMUNITY, WOULD BE PAYING THE CARRYING COSTS FOR, BUT THE BENEFIT IS THAT THIS WOULD ALLOW SEWER SERVICE TO THAT AREA, AND THEN REMOVE THE POTENTIAL OF A PACKAGE PLANT. THE ONE COMPONENT ABOUT THE ROUND ROCK POSSIBILITY IS THAT WHEN WE MET WITH THE CITY, IT IS NOT AS SIMPLE TO SERVE THIS SITE AS IT WAS TO SERVE 705 FOR ROUND ROCK. THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY, IT IS NOT LIKE THE LINE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR PROPERTY AND EVERYTHING IS FINE. THERE IS QUITE A BIT MORE TO IT FOR THIS PROPERTY TO BE CONSIDERED FROM THE ROUND ROCK SIDE. EVEN IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN , IF WE INTEND TO SERVE ON THE WEST SIDE OF 130, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT.

>> YEAH, I GUESS FOR ME, OF COURSE, I AM FOR INVESTING, YOU KNOW, IN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU KNOW, THE CITY, THAT PART,

[00:40:02]

THAT AREA OF HUTTO IS GOING TO DEVELOP , YOU KNOW, IN THE FUTURE, IN WHATEVER TIMEFRAME. SO I AM IN FAVOR OF THAT. I GUESS, I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS WITH THE PEARL ESTATES, YOU KNOW, JUST WITH THE PACKAGE PLANT. IF THIS HELPS SOLVE IT, YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS WITH, YOU KNOW, DE-ANNEXING FROM THE E TJ AS WELL. BUT I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR, LIKE , I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE ITEMS BE PUT INTO THE CIP LIST, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, IT WAS IN A MASTER PLAN, WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN . WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HANDLE THIS EVENTUALLY . NOT QUITE SURE THE TIMEFRAME. WE CAN, I DO SEE SOME, I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FUNDING MECHANISMS , BECAUSE I WAS JUST TRYING TO FOLLOW I GUESS WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO AUTHORIZE MOTHER 350, BECAUSE WE KIND OF, FOR THE WATER AND WASTEWATER WE'VE DONE, SO IT IS GOING TO BE IN TWO DIFFERENT PACKAGES, LIKE 278 MILLION, AND THEN IN 26 IS GOING TO BE $72 MILLION, SO IT'S ACTUALLY IN THE FUTURE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T MUDDY THE WATERS WITH THE FUNDING WHENEVER WE DO GET TO THAT POINT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT TONIGHT, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE VERY CLEAR ON THE FUNDING MECHANISM, AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO APPROACH THIS.

>> I LIKE THE PLAN. I THINK IT IS A SMART WAY TO SEE IF WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WAY WE HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY TELLING OUR CITIZENS AND THOSE IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS THAT WE ARE NOT IN FAVOR A PACKAGE LANCE. IF WE HAVE A WAY TO BE ABLE TO AVOID ONE OF THOSE AND PUT IT INTO OUR PLANS AND SHOVEL SOME THINGS AROUND, AND CARRY THE COST FOR A LITTLE BIT , I THINK THAT IS WORTH THE COST. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE CLEAR WITH THE CITIZENS WHAT WE ARE DOING AND WHY WE ARE DOING IT, AND I THINK WE CAN DO THAT. I REALLY APPRECIATE KIND OF THE BEING CREATIVE AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE DO THIS AND HOW DO WE ADDRESS AT LEAST ONE OF THE PACKAGE PLANS, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY SAYING WE DON'T WANT THEM, BUT THAT IF WE GO AND WE SAY WELL, WE ARE GOING TO BUILD IT ANYWAYS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GOING TO WORK WITH YOU, I THINK THIS IS, I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS.

>> SO I THINK, IF I COULD, WE NEED TO BE ASKING QUESTIONS AND MAKE A MOTION AND THEN DISCUSS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR ACTIONS FROM COUNSEL? ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM

12.1. >> WELL I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. A MOTION TO -- LET'S SEE WHAT THE ACTION ITEM IS.

CALLED ON ONE SECOND. >> I THINK IT'S JUST TO ADD

WW13 AND WW23 -- >> TO UPDATE THE CIP PROJECT TO ADD THE AVERY LAKE INTERCEPTOR , YEAH? OKAY, SO MOTION TO APPROVE 11.3 TO UPDATE THE WASTEWATER UTILITY CIP PROJECTS TO ACCELERATE THE AVERY LAKE INTERCEPTOR , WASTEWATER 13 AND

WASTEWATER 23 PROJECTS. >> DO WE HAVE A SECOND?

>> SECOND. >> SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON. DISCUSSION. COUNCILMEMBER THORNTON.

>> AVOIDING A PACKAGE PLANT IS A BIG DEAL. IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT. WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. NO PROBLEM THERE. ADDING IT TO THE CIP IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. FIGURING OUT WHERE IT FITS AND HOW TO PAY FOR IT. THE ONLY ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS, ESPECIALLY ON THE WATER SIDE, WE ARE ASKING, WELL, THIS IS A WASTEWATER PROJECT, BUT WE ARE ASKING OUR CURRENT RESIDENCE TO FUND A LOT OF FUTURE PROJECTS, AND ARE WATER CUSTOMERS , THEY ARE GETTING SOME BENEFITS WITH WATER PRESSURE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN I BELIEVE WITH THIS, RIGHT? WITH SOME OF THE PROJECTS? IS THAT TRUE ARNO? NOT WITH THIS PROJECT. THE OTHER WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS WILL IMPROVE WATER PRESSURE. THAT IS ONE COMPLAINT, BUT THAT NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT FROM HER WATER CUSTOMERS I BELIEVE HAS TO BE THAT THE SCHOOL COLORS ARE COMING OUT OF THEIR FAUCETS. WE DON'T WANT RUST COLORED WATER, AND THAT IS A BIG DEAL TO FIX THAT . THAT IS A QUALITY-OF-LIFE ISSUE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND THAT WAS THE ONE THING THAT IN ALL THIS MONEY THAT CURRENT RESIDENCE WERE GETTING THAT I THINK WAS GOING TO HELP THE CURRENT RESIDENCE , VERSUS PAYING FOR, YOU KNOW, AN EXPANDED SYSTEM TO FUND GROWTH. AND SO I THINK WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHATEVER WE CAN TO TO MAKE THAT PROJECT STILL HAPPEN AS QUICKLY AS IT CAN.

>> I AGREE WITH THAT. FOR ME THIS IS ADDING IT TO THE LIST .

[00:45:05]

I AM STILL EXPECTING STAFF TO COME BACK AT SOME POINT NEXT YEAR AND TELL US THEY NEED MORE FUNDING ANYWAY, BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY THE RATE INCREASE NEEDS TO BE HIGHER, SO I THINK THERE ARE SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING UP THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO, SO I THINK THERE IS GOING TO BE A BIGGER DISCUSSION LATER IN THE YEAR ON HOW WE ARE GOING TO FIND SOME OF THESE. I AGREE WITH YOU, THE PUBLIC , I SEE THE PICTURES ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WHAT MOTHER LOOKS LIKE -- AND WE SAY IT'S OKAY TO DRINK, BUT , PEOPLE JUST BUY BOTTLED WATER BEFORE THEY TESTED. SO I THINK WE DO NEED TO KEEP A FOCUS ON THAT, BUT STILL ADD THIS TO THE CIP. ALL RIGHT. NOTHING ELSE,

PLEASE CALL THE VOTE. >>

[12. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS]

>> MOTION PASSES 7-0. NEXT WE HAVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THE COUNCIL WISHES TO PULL ? I WOULD LIKE TO PULL ITEM 12.1 AND 12.5. SORRY, JUST 12.1. IF THERE IS NONE OTHER ITEMS TO PULL , THEN I WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A

MOTION -- >> I WAS CALLING MATT BACK UP

[12.1. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2024-109 authorizing the City Manager to execute a change order with Joe Bland Construction for $341,328.45 for improvements to FM 1660 (Matt Rector)]

>> MOTION PASSES 7-0. RESOLUTION NUMBER R-2024-109 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CHANGE ORDER WITH JOE PLAN CONSTRUCTION FOR $300,041 328 45 . I'M GETTING CONFUSED ON ALL OF THE THINGS AT THIS INTERSECTION. IF YOU CAN KIND OF GO BACK TO REFRESH MY MEMORY, BECAUSE EVERY TIME I SEE A CHANGE ORDER THE FIRST THING I THINK IS PEOPLE ARE LOW BIDDING US , WE ACCEPT THEM, AND THEN THEY COME BACK AND PUT IN THE REAL COST . I KNOW THIS IS NOT QUITE THAT. THIS IS A COMPLICATED DEAL , BUT IN LOOKING FOR A REFRESH.

>> SURE .12 .1 IS RELATED TO 12.5 ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. SO, BACK IN, I DON'T REMEMBER THE TIMELINE, LAST YEAR SOMETIME , WE REVISED THE AGREEMENT WITH DURANGO FARMS. PART OF THAT REVISED AGREEMENT WAS THAT WE WOULD AGREE TO ALLOW THEM TO PUT FUNDS INTO AN ESCROW ACCOUNT TO PAY FOR THIS CHANGE ORDER SO WE COULD ADD IMPROVEMENTS FURTHER TO THE SOUTH ALONG 1660 TWO PROVIDE A TURN LANE AND DRIVEWAY INTO THEIR PROPERTY THAT IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF 1660. THEY'VE ALREADY GOT , THEY HAVE HIRED AN ENGINEER. THEY'VE ALREADY GOT THE DESIGN. THEY'VE SENT IT TO OUR CONTRACTOR, JOE BLAND, AND JOE BLAND PROVIDED THEN THE MISSED NUMBER TO DO THE CHANGE ORDER. THEY ARE PUTTING THE MONEY INTO ESCROW , AND THEN JOE BLAND WILL DO THE EXTRA WORK, AND IN THE CITY IS USING THAT MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS CHANGE ORDER.

>> THIS IS A NORTHBOUND RIGHT INTO THEIR PROPERTY.

>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> ALL RIGHT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS. I JUST WANTED TO, AGAIN, THESE PARTNERS AND THINGS, WE HAVE SWITCHED AND CHANGED SO MUCH THAT I WANTED

TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD . >> AND THIS IS THEIR MONEY.

THEY ARE PAYING IT AND NOT US.

>> THAT IS WHAT 12.5 ON THE AGENDA WAS, THE ESCROW AGREEMENT. THEY HAVE TO DEPOSIT THAT MONEY INTO ESCROW SO WE HAVE IT AVAILABLE WHEN WE NEED TO PAY JOE BLAND.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE R-2024-109 AS

PRESENTED. >> SECOND.

>> MOTION BY 16 AND SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM GORDON. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? HEARING NONE , PLEASE CALL THE
