TO ITEM EIGHT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN MOVE ITEM 14 UP AND OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION. NO OBJECTIONS?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK WHAT THE REASON IT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR AND IF THERE'S ANY INFORMATION LEGAL FEELS WE NEED TO HEAR BEFORE WE DISCUSS IT?

>> THE MEMO SETS OUT THE STATUS OF THAT RECHARGE CONTRACT SUCH AS THE STATUS UPDATE AND WHERE WE ARE LEGALLY. THE BRIEFING AND THE ATTORNEY IS HERE . IT JUST TALKS ABOUT THE STATUS OF WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE LITIGATION AND THE RESERVATION AGREEMENT AND ALSO WHAT GEORGETOWN HAS DONE .

>> IS THERE ANY CONFIDENTIAL WE NEED TO KEEP OR ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER WE WANT TO?

>> MY RECOMMENDATION IS RICK CAN PROVIDE MORE OF AN UPDATE ON THE RECHARGE BUT I THINK IT IS WORTHY OF INITIAL CONVERSATION ON THE WATER RESERVATION AGREEMENT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

I WILL DEFER TO YOU ALL AND YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

>> WHAT I WANT TO DO IS SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS --

>> THERE MAY BE AN OBJECTION SO I'M ASKING QUESTIONS.

>> TO DISCUSS ITEM WE HAVE TO BRING IT UP.

>> I OBJECT TO YOUR MOTION. >> SECOND.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A VOTE. FIRST TO BRING THE ITEM UP TO DISCUSS NONLEGAL THINGS I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE IT UP.

>> I DON'T OBJECT TO MOVING IT UP.

>> YOU JUST OBJECTED? >> I AM CHECKED TO PULLING IT

OUT OF EXEC. >> I SHOULD CLARIFY TO MOVE IT

UP TO DISCUSS IT. SURE. >> THE MOTION IS TO ITEM 14 TO UP AND DISCUSS AN OPEN SESSION. MADE BY MAYOR SNYDER AND

SECONDED . >> THE REASON I OBJECT IS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DON'T KNOW YET AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT INFORMATION YOU WILL SHARE WITH US. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THERE IS NOTHING PREVENTING US FROM SPEAKING ABOUT THIS AFTER WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH OUR ATTORNEYS IN THE PUBLIC AND TALKING ABOUT IT IN THE PUBLIC JUST LIKE WE ARE BEING PROPOSED TO DO NOW . FOR ME THE DIFFERENCE IS I NEED TO HEAR WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO ADVISE AND TELL US SO WE KNOW WHAT WE CAN SAFELY TALK ABOUT IN PUBLIC AND WHAT WE CAN'T. THAT IS THE BASIS FOR MY OBJECTION TO PULLING UP NOW BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T FIRST DISCUSSED WITH OUR ATTORNEYS TO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT AND WHAT WE CAN'T. THAT IS THE BASIS OF MY OBJECTION. IT'S NOT TO HIDE IT FROM THE PUBLIC. IT'S NOT TO TRY TO GO IN THE BACK AND TALK ABOUT THINGS WE SHOULDN'T BE. IT IS NOT TRYING TO BE NONTRANSPARENT TO CITIZENS. WHAT IT'S ABOUT IS GETTING ADVICE FROM MY LEGAL FIRST SO I CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE AND CONCERNS AND THEN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER WE WANT TO IN PUBLIC THAT WE CAN.

>> OKAY. SO WE CAN STAY WITHIN COUNCIL PROTOCOLS THE PERSON MAKING A MOTION TALKS FIRST THAT WAY BEFORE YOU OBJECT YOU AT LEAST KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO HERE. ALL AND TRY TO DO IS WE HAVE MEMOS THAT WERE SENT TO US THAT IN MY MIND DO NOT INCLUDE LEGAL INFORMATION. THEY INCLUDE THINGS LIKE WHEN WE RUN OUT OF WATER, WHAT OUR CURRENT CAPACITY IS, THINGS I THINK ARE PERTINENT TO AN ITEM THAT HAPPENED TO BE COMING UP THAT IS DISCUSSING A DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD INCLUDE USES OF WATER AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR LEGAL HERE'S HOW WE WILL DO CERTAIN THINGS BECAUSE WE MAY OR MAY NOT BE GETTING SUED OR COULD BE GETTING SUED OR WE ARE GOING TO. IT'S MORE OF A DISCUSSION IN PUBLIC TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHERE WE ARE AT WITH OUR WATER SUPPLY, BUT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, WHAT THE PIPES CAN HOLD, WHEN WE ANTICIPATE NOT HAVING MORE EXTRA WATER SUPPLY AND I THINK THAT IS THE PROBLEM WE KEEP NOT SPEAKING TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT AND THAT IS

[00:45:04]

THE PART I THINK NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT PUBLICLY BEFORE WE START LISTENING TO DEVELOPERS ABOUT NEEDING MORE WATER.

THAT'S WHY I MAKE THE MOTION. IT'S NOT THAT WE HAVE NEVER MET , I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR STRATEGY IS BUT THAT IS A LEGAL STRATEGY, HOW MUCH WATER WE HAVE UNLESS SOMEONE TELLS ME OTHERWISE IS NOT A LEGAL ISSUE. THAT IS JUST A MATHEMATICAL THING. THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT APPEAR. WE CAN DISCUSS BEFORE WE

TALK TO DEVELOPERS. >> MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WHEN I LOOK AT THE RECHARGE PART OF THE MEMO I DON'T SEE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE AGREEMENTS ON TARGET TO DELIVER WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DELIVER ON CERTAIN DATES. I DON'T SEE ANY LEGAL UNLESS SOMEONE HAS A LEGAL QUESTION ABOUT THAT, I DON'T SEE THAT IT IS LEGAL ADVICE UNLESS YOU HAVE A LEGAL QUESTION ON THE RECHARGE . I BELIEVE IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

>> IS LEGAL PREPARED TO GIVE A PRESENTATION BASED ON THE INFORMATION IN THE LEGAL MEMO? SO THE RESIDENTS ARE AWARE OF

THE INFORMATION IN THAT MEMO? >> IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE

RECHARGE MEMO? >> I WOULD SAY THE RECHARGE ITEM IS WORTHY OF AN UPDATE AND CAN BE DONE NOW . THE COURT UPDATE I WOULD ECHO COUNCILMEMBER GORDON ONE OF THE THINGS MY STRATEGY IS TO MAKE SURE HUTTO'S INTEREST ARE BEST REPRESENTED AND ANYTHING RIGHT NOW OUT HERE IS GOING TO WAIVE ANY PRIVILEGE AND THAT IS JUST SO VITAL THAT I'M ABLE TO APPRISE YOU ALL FIRST ON THE MATTER. WE CAN COME OUT AND TALK ABOUT IT AND RELAY SOME OF THAT INFORMATION. I'M HAPPY TO UPDATE ON THE RECHARGE ISSUE NOW. IT'S A LITTLE LESS SENSITIVE BECAUSE THINGS ARE ON TARGET. THEY GO TOGETHER SO THE THOUGHT WAS BOTH IN EXECUTIVE SESSION BUT I'M HAPPY TO GIVE A BRIEF UPDATE ON THE RECHARGE ISSUE . RICK CAN COME UP AND GIVE MORE FACTUAL OF A.I.D.S.

>> IS IT DIFFICULT TO DECIPHER BETWEEN THE RECHARGE DISCUSSION

VERSUS EPIC CORD ? >> I DON'T THINK IT'S DIFFICULT. THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS.

>> THEY WANT TO BLEND INTO EACH OTHER?

>> RIGHT. THEY OVERLAP IN THE SENSE OF THE OVERALL WATER STRATEGY FOR HUTTO'S FUTURE BUT IN TERMS OF THEY ARE DISCRETE ITEMS AT THIS MOMENT THAT HAVE DIFFERENT PRESSING QUESTIONS OR ANSWERS. I THINK I CAN KEEP THEM SEPARATE FOR THAT PURPOSE BUT THEY ALL RELATE TO THE OVERALL WATER STRATEGY FOR THE NEXT 10,

20, 30 YEARS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO POSSIBLY SPLIT THE VOTE RELEVANT TO RECHARGE ONE VOTE AND EPCOR THE

OTHER VOTE . >> CAN I MAKE A STATEMENT FIRST?

>> YOU CAN'T BECAUSE I TOOK THIS AS A MOTION.

>> ARE YOU OKAY SPLITTING IT? WE WILL REVISE THE MOTION TO SPLIT

IT . >> YES, THANK YOU.

>> CLARIFICATION QUESTION. WHEN YOU SAY SPLIT THE VOTE THAT MEANS YOU'RE TAKING THE VOTE AND SPLITTING IT INTO TWO SEPARATE VOTES BUT WHEN I JUST HEARD WAS YOUR AGREEING TO JUST AMEND YOUR MOTION TO ONLY PULL OUT PORTION A 14.2.

>> JUST ABOUT TO BRING THE RECHARGE ITEM UP. I APOLOGIZE.

YOU HAD A STATEMENT? >> YES. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF SAYING LET'S PULL OUT THE RECHARGE AND KEEP THE OTHER SO YOU CAN THEN TALK ABOUT EVEN THOUGH WE AREN'T TAKING ACTION ON 9.2 TONIGHT MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE AS EVERYONE COUNCIL KNOWS THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT DATES BETWEEN THOSE TWO. BUT IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT , WHETHER YOU HAVE ONE FOR CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE OVERALL WATER SOLUTION BEFORE YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ON 9.2 SO I DON'T SEE HOW TALKING ABOUT ONE HALF TO THE MEETING YOU DON'T HAVE THE WHOLE PICTURE ALSO IS SHORTSIGHTED IS WHAT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO STAY. THEN WE CAN DISCUSS IT. WE ARE NOT TAKING ACTION ON 9.2 TONIGHT, IT'S A PRESENTATION SO THERE'S NO PROBLEM. WE CAN MAKE COMMENTS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT WATER, OBVIOUSLY IN THE PUBLIC NOW KNOWS THERE IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO DISCUSS LEGAL STRATEGIES ABOUT PART OF OUR HOLISTIC WATER PLAN . ALL OF THAT HAS TO BE UNDERSTOOD BEFORE YOU CAN MAKE

[00:50:05]

RECOMMENDATIONS ON 9.2 AND WE AREN'T DISCUSSING THE SECOND HALF OF 14.2 PRIOR TO THAT DISCUSSION, SO EITHER PART

DOESN'T NEED TO HAPPEN NOW. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE

MOTION? >> YEAH. THE COUNCIL RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM YESTERDAY SAYING ITEM 19.2 WAS REQUESTED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE MEETING. ARE WE STILL DISCUSSING IT? I THOUGHT IT WAS BEING REMOVED. IS THAT NOT ? 9.2.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. I BELIEVE THE EMAIL SAID THE PROPOSED DEVELOPER ASKED TO RESCHEDULE TO THE 27TH. THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE A REASON, THEY JUST ASK TO MOVE IT TO THE NEXT MEETING.

>> WE GOT THAT EMAIL IN FROM THEM TO BUMP TO THE NEXT ONE

AFTER WE HAD ALREADY PUBLISHED. >> WE GOT THAT YESTERDAY.

>> FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE BIGGEST PART OF THE REASON FOR PULLING IT UP NOW AND TALKING IS SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT BEFORE 9.2 . IF 9.2 ISN'T DISCUSSED IS THERE A NEED TO PULL IT UP NOW? I HAVE NO OBJECTION AND I WILL VOTE IN FAVOR OF HOLDING OUT AND TALKING ABOUT IT NOW THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO. THE WHOLE

REASON FOR DOING IT -- >> THIS IS YOUR SPECIAL COUNCIL HERE ON AN HOURLY BASIS , MR. FRIEDMAN.

>> THEY WILL HAVE TO STICK AROUND FOR THE SECOND PART UNLESS WE DO THE SECOND PART FIRST.

>> THE REQUEST IS TO MOVE IT UP SO WE ARE MORE EFFICIENT USE OF

YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS. >> GOING BACK TO WHAT WAS SAID,

WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT? >> MY PREFERENCE WOULD JUST DO BOTH IN EXECUTIVE SESSION, INTRODUCE MYSELF, TELL YOU WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING, EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. I DON'T THINK THERE'S A PROBLEM COMING BACK OUT AND GIVING A SHORT SUMMARY OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT ON EITHER ISSUE . MOST LIKELY THE RECHARGE ISSUE. THAT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION. IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO HEAR THE RECHARGE UPDATE NOW, THAT'S FINE TOO. THERE'S NOT MUCH TO IT. REALLY IT'S A THUMBS-UP. IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO HEAR FROM ME FIRST . I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU GUYS LIKE.

>> WELCOME TO HUTTO. WE HAVE A CIP DEAL TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT ALMOST HALF OF WHICH INCLUDE WATER AND WASTEWATER AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK NOT JUST ITEM 9.2, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALL BE ON THE SAME PAGE BECAUSE NORMALLY WE WILL FIGHT ABOUT FACTS AND I ALWAYS TELL THE CITY MANAGER IF WE CAN JUST AGREE ON THE FACTS WE FIGHT A WHOLE LOT LESS. WHEN DO WE DO IT, WHEN IS THE PROJECT HAPPENING, WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE ON EVERYTHING. ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU GUYS ARE SAYING THERE'S NOTHING LEGAL IN THE MEMO HERE WE ARE STILL DEBATING TO GO BACK . I DON'T THINK LEGALLY WE CAN GO BACK AND TALK ABOUT A MEMO THAT HAS NOTHING LEGALLY IN IT UNLESS WE HAVE A LEGAL QUESTION. THAT'S WHY, FOR ME , I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU TALK ABOUT CIP PROJECTS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PROBLEM

AFTER THE PROJECTS. >> THE RECHARGE ISSUE IS STILL PREMISED ON A CONTRACT THAT HAS TWO AMENDMENTS, ONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN EXECUTED SINCE THE LAST MEETING . I WOULDN'T SAY THERE ISN'T A LEGAL ISSUE. I'M JUST SAYING THERE IS NOTHING CONTENTIOUS ABOUT IT OR IS WORTHY OF DELIBERATION . I'M JUST HAPPY. I DON'T FEEL STRONGLY ENOUGH TO ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO HEAR IT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION FIRST BECAUSE IT IS SOMEWHAT BENIGN BUT IT IS A LEGAL ISSUE.

>> SO WE ARE IN SOME RESPECTS WAITING ATTORNEY PRIVILEGE ON

THIS? >> 100%. IT'S FINE.

>> BASED ON THIS AND THE FACT THERE ISN'T .2 IF WE WANT TO SAVE MONEY LET'S GO INTO EXECUTIVE FOR THIS ONE ITEM NOW OR WE LET HIM STAY ON RETAINER UNTIL WE GET TO EXECUTIVE LATER.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? >> I NEED TO CLARIFY ACCEPTED

THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. >> PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.

>> ON THIS ITEM I DON'T KNOW THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS NEXT IS TO

[00:55:05]

EITHER MAKE A MOTION TO RELEASE THIS INFORMATION SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT'S ON IT OR IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S ON

THE MEMO. >> I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE VOTE

WAS SET TO DO . OKAY. YEAH. >> I WOULD LIKE A LEGAL

PRESENTATION ON THIS . >> I MAKE A MOTION TO RELEASE

THIS DOCUMENT TO THE PUBLIC. >> SECOND BECAUSE I WANT TO DISCUSS THAT. THE MOTION IS TO RELEASE THE RECHARGE TO THE

PUBLIC. ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT? >> YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH US

RELEASING THE FULL MEMO? >> I PERSONALLY DON'T. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM MY CLIENT WHICH IS THE CITY STAFF.

>> I THINK WE ARE THE CLIENT. >> MY CLIENT CONTACT HAS BEEN CITY STAFF. NO. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM. I JUST HAVE RESERVATIONS BECAUSE IT'S ATYPICAL.

>> WELCOME TO HUTTO. >> RELEASING THE MEMO TYPICALLY IF THE VOTE PASSES YOU WOULD JUST REMOVE THE CONFIDENTIAL PRIVILEGE ATTORNEY-CLIENT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THEY WAIVED ANY ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE TO THIS. THE WAY I LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE LAID OUT IT'S PRETTY MUCH FACTUAL INFORMATION BASED ON ACTIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND ARE ANTICIPATED TO

HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. >> I'M NOT TRYING TO GET YOU IN A GOT YOU. I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT FACTS , THAT WAY WE CAN DISPUTE

THEM LESS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO ARGUE AGAINST RELEASING IT NOT FOR THE FACT OF CONTENT BUT FOR THE FACT OF HAVING THE HUTTO RESIDENCE HAVE TO SEEK OUT THE INFORMATION TO FIND IT, WHETHER IT'S LIKELY TOMORROW PUBLISHED , EVERYBODY KNOWS IS ALWAYS FAST ACTION CAN YOU THINK ABOUT IT AND FORGET THE NEXT DAY. I THINK WE NEED A LEGAL PRESENTATION SO THE RESIDENCE OF HUTTO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON, THINGS NEED TO BE SAID, THE 5 TO 10 FACTS LAID OUT IN THE PRESENTATION NEED TO BE SAID AND SET ON RECORD AND THAT WILL BE A VERBAL RECORD.

PEOPLE IN THE ROOM HEAR IT, THEY KNOW IT, THEY CAN WATCH IT BACK.

IF THEY WANT TO SEE GET OUT I SUPPOSE THEY COULD. I THINK IT IS WISE TO HAVE A LEGAL PRESENTATION ON THIS AND NOT HAVE JUST A DOCUMENT RELEASED. WHAT WILL BE SAID HERE TONIGHT WILL BE PUBLIC RECORD , SO THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE AT MOVING

FORWARD. >>, ADVOCATING FOR NOT HAVING LEGAL PRESENTATION THAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING DON'T RELEASE A DOCUMENT BECAUSE IT'S EASIER FOR THE PUBLIC TO GO BACK

INSTEAD OF SEARCHING? >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS. I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT A GOT YOU MOMENT, I WANT A PRESENTATION.

YES. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S ALL FACTUAL. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ON HERE THAT THE PUBLIC COULDN'T SEE. WE ALREADY HAVE MR. FRIEDMAN'S NAME ON HERE. I THINK WE ARE COVERED THERE. THERE'S -- I THINK IT SAID BUT THERE'S NOTHING ON THIS DOCUMENT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REDACTED IS THAT CORRECT?

>> NO, IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. IT'S A PUBLIC DOCUMENT ONCE

IT'S RELEASED. >> HE'S ASKING IF WE RELEASED

TO THE PUBLIC. >> I THINK IT'S PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL . THAT WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED.

>> THAT WOULD NOT BE APPLICABLE. RIGHT.

>> THINGS CHANGE, FACTS CHANGE, WE WILL DEAL WITH THAT IF IT HAPPENS. THAT WOULD BE ONE DOWNSIDE . IF THE NEXT UPDATE WE GET FROM RECHARGE IS INCONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAD LAST TIME IT COULD CAUSE CONFUSION. WE WILL HANDLE THAT

IF IT HAPPENED. >> I TALKED TO THE CITY MANAGER

IF HE HAD ANY CONCERNS. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION TO RELEASE THE MEMO? PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.

>> MOTION PASSES 6-1. ALL RIGHT. IF YOU CAN GIVE US I GUESS YOUR PRESENTATION THAT YOU WOULD'VE GIVEN US BACK THERE.

>> I CAN DO THAT. RICK HAS SOME PHOTOGRAPHS I DISTRIBUTED LATER TODAY. HE CAN SPEAK TO SOME OF THE MORE INFRASTRUCTURE THINGS.

[01:00:02]

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE AGREEMENT WITH RECHARGE HAS HAD A SECOND AMENDMENT EXECUTED YOU GUYS HAVE DISCUSSED IN THE PAST AND WHAT THAT SECOND AMENDMENT WAS WAS A NOTIFICATION THAT THE RECHARGE HAD SECURED ITS FINANCING FOR THE PROJECT AND THAT THE DELIVERY DATE UNDER THE CONTRACT WOULD BE FOR I THINK FEBRUARY 9TH, 2026 AND IT IS STILL ON TARGET FOR DELIVERY OF THAT WATER. THAT WATER WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE SHILOH PUMP STATION WHERE THERE IS ALREADY AN EXISTING PIPELINE THAT DISTRIBUTES THE HLT WATER , THAT PIPELINE FROM SHILOH OUT INTO THE SYSTEM IS A 6 MILLION GALLON PIPELINE. THE RECHARGE CONTRACT IS FOR DELIVERY OF 4 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY. THEY WILL DELIVER THAT WATER WITH THEIR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE SHILOH PUMP FROM THE SHILOH PUMP STATION INTO THE SYSTEM WE WILL TAKE FOUR OF THAT 6 MILLION GALLON CAPACITY WHICH WILL LEAVE 2 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY CAPACITY GOING FORWARD FOR FUTURE WATER SUPPLY FROM OTHER SOURCES BEYOND RECHARGE. WE WILL TALK SOME ABOUT THAT LATER. THE ONLY OUTSTANDING ISSUE IS ON IRON TREATMENT. THE CONTRACT WITH RECHARGE OBLIGATES RECHARGE TO TREAT THE RAW WATER FOR ALL CONSTITUENTS TO COMPLY WITH TCE Q LIMITS INCLUDING IRON AND THEY WILL DO THAT UNDER THEIR CONTRACT. THE 4 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY THAT GET DELIVERED TO SHILOH WILL BE TREATED. THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSIONS OF HOW WE CAN INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF THE IRON TREATMENT FACILITIES BEING BUILT FOR THE 4 MILLION GALLONS SO THAT HUTTO CAN ALSO TREAT SOME OF ITS EXISTING WATER SUPPLY OR ADDITIONAL WATER SOURCES OF WATER SUPPLY FOR IRON AT THIS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT RECHARGE IS DOING. THAT IS WHAT'S NOT IN THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT. THAT IS WHAT RICK AND I AND OTHERS ARE WORKING ON FIGURING OUT IF THERE IS A WAY TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THE IRON TREATMENT ONLY OF RECHARGE SO WE CAN HAVE ADDITIONAL WATER GO TO MEET , BUT THAT REQUIRES FIGURING OUT THE DESIGN FOR THAT AND FIGURING OUT WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THAT, HOW MUCH IT WILL COST AND DOING IT IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T DISRUPT THE DELIVERY OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR MGD TO THAT SYSTEM THAT RECHARGE IS ALREADY CONTRACTED TO DO. THAT IS SORT OF THE LINGERING ISSUE. IN TERMS OF DELIVERING THE FOUR MGD FULLY TREATED READY FOR HUTTO USE BY 2026 THE EASEMENTS FOR THAT PIPELINE FOR THEM TO GET IT TO SHILOH HAVE BEEN SECURED AND CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION ON THAT HAS STARTED. I THINK I SAW 300 FEET PER DAY BUT I WILL TAKE THAT. THAT IS PROBABLY AS FAR AS I SHOULD GO ON INFRASTRUCTURE. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO RICK TO TALK MORE ABOUT THAT THAT IS THE UPDATE. IT'S ON TARGET. THE ONLY ISSUE IS ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET FURTHER IRON TREATMENT FOR ADDITIONAL WATER, NOT THE FOUR MGD ALL SET.

>> PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. THE DETAILS YOU ARE TRYING TO ASK IS WHETHER OR NOT -- SO, WE HAVE DONE THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN, THEN WE DID PRELIMINARY DESIGNS, WE ARE PUTTING THE FACILITIES THERE ON THE EXISTING SHILOH PUMP STATION RESERVOIR. THEY ALL FIT IN A LINE WITH THE FACILITIES THERE AND THE AREA OR LAND WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO CONSTRUCT. WHAT WE ARE FIGURING OUT THE

[01:05:01]

DETAILS IS ON THE COST ESTIMATING OF WHAT THIS IS. IT WILL BE A FULL FOUR MGD FACILITY PLUS WHAT ADAM MENTIONED IS THE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY IF WE CHOSE TO USE THE CITY OF HUTTO WATER TO COMPLEMENT THE RECHARGE WATER THEN WE WOULD HAVE A TOTAL CAPACITY OF ABOUT 6 MILLION IN CAPACITY. THAT'S BEING LAID OUT. IT'S JUST NOT FINAL DESIGN AND COSTING IN THE PROCESS RIGHT

NOW. >> THANK YOU.

>> TO CLARIFY, THE TOTAL CAPACITY IS 6 MILLION GALLONS A

DAY? >> ROUGHLY WE HAVE EXISTING CAPACITY WE CURRENTLY DO IN THE SUMMER SOMEWHERE SHY OF 4.

>> I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PHYSICAL CAPACITY.

>> ABOUT 6 MILLION, YES. >> RIGHT NOW WE USE BETWEEN

THREE AND 4 GENERALLY? >> CORRECT.

>> NOT DAILY. >> WHEN WE SAY WE ARE GETTING 4 MILLION GALLONS A DAY FROM RECHARGE WE CAN'T GO ABOVE SIX? WITH OUR CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE?

>> IT WILL BE THE LIMITING FACTOR.

>> IT'S NOT 4+3 1/2. IT IS SIX. THAT IS THE CAP UNLESS WE WERE TO BUILD CAPACITY FROM SHILOH TO THE CITY?

>> THAT IS CORRECT. ONCE WE BUILD MORE OF A CAPACITY --

>> I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR WE ARE GETTING A SOURCE BUT WE ARE NOT ADDING 4 MILLION GALLONS A DAY TO THE CURRENT CITY SYSTEM BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DO THAT WITH OUR

PIPELINE. >> THE FACTOR IS THE PIPELINE.

>> THANK YOU. >> THAT LITERALLY IS THE REASON I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT FREQUENTLY WHAT I HEAR THE THOUGHT IS WE HAVE MORE WATER COMING WHICH IS PARTLY TRUE BUT IT'S NOT AS MUCH WHEN WE SAY WE HAVE FOR MILLIONS COME AND SOME PEOPLE TAKE THAT AS THAT'S DOUBLE WHAT WE HAVE SO WE WILL BE GOOD AND UP UNTIL RECENTLY WE DIDN'T SAY WAS 6 MILLION, WE SAID WHATEVER THE PIPELINE WAS 4 1/2 BEFORE WE TESTED IT AND ALL THAT SO I THINK THAT IS THE KEY WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS I READ THE MEMO . WE HAVE 4 ADDITIONAL COMING, WE ARE USING FOR , IT DOESN'T MATTER, YOU STILL GET TO SIX. I THOUGHT THE LETTER WAS A LITTLE ODD WHEN IT SAID WE ARE LEAVING 2 MILLION FOR FUTURE WATER DELIVERY . TECHNICALLY THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE, BUT THE FACTOR IS UNLESS YOU USE TANKERS OR DROP 38 MILE PIPELINE THERE MAY BE 2 MILLION GALLONS FOR FUTURE DELIVERY BUT NO WAY TO

GET IT HERE. GO AHEAD. >> I WAS SAYING THERE WAS ONE OTHER PART YOU'RE FORGETTING. SORRY.

>> GO AHEAD, TELL ME WHAT I FORGOT SO I CAN FINISH TALKING.

>> THE 4 MILLION GALLON IS ONLY THE PEAK. IF ONCE WE HAVE THIS WATER YOU COULD RUN IT SIX ALL THE TIME AND BUILD STORAGE TANKS AND WE ARE BUILDING MORE STORAGE TANKS WHICH DOES INCREASE YOUR WATER CAPACITY IN THE ACTUAL CITY FOR THE PIPELINE ONCE YOU'RE PAST THE SHILOH NUMBERS. ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FROM THE DIRECTOR IS WHAT DOES THAT PUT OUR GALLONS PER DAY NORMAL FLOW RATE, NOT JUST THE PEAK WHEN YOU FAIL BUT NOW YOU HAVE FULLY ABLE TO FILL ALL THE STORAGE TANKS DURING THE NONPEAK TIMES. THAT IS FOR YOUR EXTRA CAPACITY REALLY COMES INTO PLAY.

>> THANK YOU. THE REASON I WAS WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THAT PART RIGHT IS BECAUSE THE VERY LAST SENTENCE IS THIS WATER IS INTENDED TO MEET OUR DEMAND 320 28 AND FOR ME THAT IS KIND OF LIKE THE DOOMSDAY CLOCK TO WHERE IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH STORAGE CAPACITY WE HAVE. AT SOME POINT THE CITY WILL USE MORE THAN 6 MILLION GALLONS A DAY. IF YOU CAN ONLY PUMP 6 MILLION GALLONS A DAY IN YOUR CAPACITY THAT GOES TO 6 MILLION GALLONS A DAY AND YOU ARE PUMPING 24 HOURS A DAY IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH STORAGE TANKS YOU HAVE BECAUSE IF YOU'RE USING 6 MILLION GALLONS A DAY YOU CAN'T STORE CAPACITY BECAUSE YOU USE EVERYTHING ESSENTIALLY. AM I WRONG?

>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. ONE IS THE AVERAGE CAPACITY AND ALSO THE PEAK CAPACITY . TO COUNCILMEMBER CLARK'S POINT IS THAT THE PEAK CAPACITY IS TYPICALLY MITIGATED THROUGH STORAGE AND STORAGE DELIVERY TO DO THAT OFF A PEAK, TO FILL THOSE AND THAT KIND OF MINIMIZES THE PEAK FLOW RATE .

ON AVERAGE , WE HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS IN WHICH WE HAVE

[01:10:05]

EXTENDED OUR PEAK OR EXTENDED OR MINIMIZED OUR PEAK THROUGH CONSERVATION EFFORTS. THAT IS A TOOL WE CONTINUE TO USE AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE THROUGHOUT MOVING FORWARD. THE POINT OF 2, THAT IS SIX. WE HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL WATER RESOURCES WITH TAYLOR AND MANVILLE, SO THAT ADDS TO THAT TOTAL CAPACITY . WE WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE WHAT THE AVERAGE IS. WE HAVE NOT MET THE TARGETS ON WHAT HAS BEEN PROJECTED OUT IN THE WATER MASTER PLAN, SO OUR PEAK DEMAND HAS COME DOWN FROM HAS BEEN LAID OUT IN THE MASTER PLAN. EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE SUGGESTED TARGET TIMES , IT'S KIND OF SURFACING THAT WE ARE BEHIND THOSE TARGETS MEANING THAT WE HAVEN'T ACHIEVED THEM YET BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T PLAN FOR AND WHAT YOU MENTIONED ABOUT 2028 IS FROM WHAT WE SEE NOW THERE WILL BE AT LEAST THAT INFORMATION WILL HAVE TO BE UPDATED ANNUALLY SO THAT INFORMATION RIGHT NOW IF I WERE TO SAY 2028 TODAY I MAY SAY 2029 TOMORROW BECAUSE I HAVE MORE DATA TO SUPPORT THAT. IN OUR CURRENT INFORMATION WE HAVE THAT IS STARTING TO EXTEND OUT DURING THE RANGE OF 2028 THROUGH 2030 THAT WE HAVE TO BE CONSIDERING OTHER ALTERNATIVES IN WHICH WE HAVE OTHER ALTERNATIVE CONTRACTS

TO DEAL WITH. >> YOU JUST SAID WE ARE NOT ON TRACK , WE ARE NOT HITTING THAT TARGET POINT FOR THE 2028. DO YOU HAVE A HYPOTHESIS OR ESTIMATION ON HOW FAR BACK WE ARE TRENDING ON THAT , EVEN WITH LUE WE ALREADY ADDED?

>> I CAN'T SPEAK TO HOW THE LUE'S IMPACT THIS BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THE DAILY INFORMATION IS AND SHARE THAT RADICALLY AND PROVIDE THAT TO COUNCIL . I HAVE IN THE PAST AND DONE THAT. THAT IS KIND OF HOW I COME TO YOU TO KIND OF HELP SHAPE ON WHEN TO INITIATE CONSERVATION STAGE OR TO RESCIND THE CONVERSATION STAGE AS WELL. THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE

FOR US TO KIND OF SHARE AS WELL. >> HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU THAT WE ARE NOT HITTING THOSE TARGETS CURRENTLY?

>> PART OF IT HAS BEEN HOW SUCCESSFUL THE COMMUNITY HAS RESPONDED TO CONSERVATION EFFORTS . THAT I DO APPLAUD THE COMMUNITY HAS DONE SO . WE HAVE OTHER TOOLS WE ARE BRINGING FORWARD THAT ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO SEE THEIR WATER USAGE THAT CAN MANAGE AND CONTROL THAT. THAT INFORMATION IS GOING TO BE VERY CRITICAL TO TARGET THE INDUSTRIES, TO HELP THEM CONSERVE WATER RESOURCE NEEDS . IT'S A VERY POSITIVE TO SEE THE RESPONSE FROM THE COMMUNITY . AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAVE TO CONTINUE EFFORTS ON LEAK DETECTION AND MAKING SURE WATER LOSS IS KEPT DOWN AND KIND OF DOING THE GOOD STEWARD THINGS TO MAKE SURE OUR WATER RESOURCES ARE EXTENDED FURTHER INTO THE

FUTURE. >> THERE IS PRECAUTIONS, BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE TRENDING BELOW WHAT THAT RANGE IS WHERE 2028 COMES, IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG ONE.

>> THAT CAN SUPPORT THAT INFORMATION AS WELL. FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN AND KIND OF MONITORED, WE ARE STILL BELOW SOME OF THOSE TARGETS THAT WERE IN THE MASTER PLAN BECAUSE THERE WERE MORE AGGRESSIVE PROJECTIONS THAN WHAT WE ARE SEEING.

>> CAN WE GET A BREAKDOWN OF THAT?

>> YEAH. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE, I ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO THE CITY ENGINEER ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I DID GO THROUGH THE WATER MASTER PLAN TO REVIEW THINGS AND THAT WAS DONE BACK IN 2022. THEIR PROJECTIONS WERE BY 2027 WE WOULD BE AT 16,000 LUE'S . RIGHT NOW, IN 2025, WE ARE AT 10,000 LUE'S. SO, MATT DID SOME MATH AND WE HAVE BEEN GROWING AT 13.5% INSTEAD OF THE PROJECTED 18.8%. WE ACTUALLY HAVE NOT BEEN GROWING AS PROJECTED IN THE WATER MASTER PLAN, SO THAT IS KIND OF PUTTING THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE THERE. I GUESS MY

[01:15:06]

QUESTION IS OUR WATER SITUATION, THAT IS TRACKED BY TCU Q STANDARDS AND THERE'S MARKERS AS TO WHERE WE ARE, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT ON CAPACITY AND WHAT POINT DO WE AS A CITY MAKE THE DECISION TO LAY A LINE EITHER ON TOP OF SIDEWAYS TO GET MORE

CAPACITY FROM SHILOH? >> IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION, SORRY, WHAT ARE SOME TRIGGERS THAT WE USE TO INCREASE

CAPACITY OF A LINE ? >> TO JUSTIFY EITHER EXPANDING THE WATER LINE OR DELAYING ANOTHER LINE NEARBY TO GET MORE

WATER TO THE CITY. >> I THINK IT'S DEPENDENT ON A COUPLE THINGS. ONE IS HOW WE WANT TO FUTURE PLAN FOR INFRASTRUCTURE. THE OTHER DOESN'T NECESSARILY TIGHT IN TWO TCEQ BUT SOME OF IT HAS TO DO WITH OIL PRODUCTION AND WE ARE INVESTING INTO OIL PRODUCTION . THAT'S WHERE ONE OF OUR LIMITING FACTORS IS. WE ARE INCREASING OIL PRODUCTION AS WE SPEAK WITH RINGING IN A NEW WATER SOURCE TO TIE INTO OUR EXISTING SHILOH . WE ARE INCREASING OUR CAPACITY IN DELIVERY AS WELL AS OUR STORAGE SO WE ARE FOCUSING ON ALL THOSE AREAS . AS A GUIDANCE FROM TOM -- SOME OF THE METRICS WE ARE DOING THAT CURRENTLY. IT'S A MATTER OF HOW AGGRESSIVE BECAUSE PROJECTIONS ARE WHAT THEY ARE. SOMETIMES YOU USE PAST INFORMATION TO KIND OF PREDICT SOME OF THE FUTURE, BUT IT VARIES. THERE'S A LOT OF ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT PLAY INTO THIS. I THINK WE ARE HITTING ALL THOSE MARKS . IT'S MORE ABOUT TIMING. EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TIMING AND FUNDING AND HOW WE WANT TO INVEST IN SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

>> CAN YOU SPEAK MORE TO HOW WE INCREASE CAPACITY BY BRINGING THESE FOR EXTRA MGD ONLINE AS TO HELP RELIEVE OUR CURRENT WATER SITUATION? CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT OR TALK HIGH-LEVEL ON THAT SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE RESTING OF THE WELLS IN ORDER TO INCREASE

CAPACITY? >> SO, WE HAVE THE WATER SYSTEM FOR SOME TIME . THERE'S NOT BEEN A LOT OF REHAB WITH THOSE WELLS . IT'S PROBABLY BEEN AT LEAST FIVE YEARS SINCE THE LAST TIME AND YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE ON THEM INCLUDING THE PUMPS, THE MOTORS THEMSELVES AND ALL THE SCREENS .

WITH THEM OPERATING AT SUCH A HIGH CAPACITY ALL THE TIME IT DOESN'T ALLOW US TO DO SOME MAINTENANCE OR OFF-LINE SO THAT WILL GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT WHETHER REHAB IS NECESSARY FOR ANY OF THOSE ASSETS OR EXCHANGE OF MOTORS , THINGS OF THOSE , THINGS THAT USUALLY HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVE EXCESS PUMPING CAPACITY TYPICALLY WOULD HAPPEN IN A UTILITY WITH RECHARGE COMING ONLINE IT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO AND BE A LITTLE MORE RESILIENT AND HAVING TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE BOTH THOSE SYSTEMS AT THE SAME TIME.

WHEN I SAY IDLE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO ROTATE THROUGH THEM. YOU DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING GOING ALL THE TIME 100 MILES PER HOUR. YOU DO GET TO REST THEM, EVALUATE THEM AND BRING THEM ONLINE, DO THEIR MAINTENANCE, PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE IF POSSIBLE AND THEN ROTATE THEM THROUGH CYCLING. THAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY WE WILL

HAVE WE DON'T HAVE TODAY. >> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL?

>> SO, THE MAYOR BROUGHT UP A QUESTION OR POINT ABOUT WHAT IS THE USE OF BRINGING ON MORE CAPACITY IF WE ONLY HAVE ONE PIPELINE TO RUN IT THROUGH AND THE PIPELINE HAS A SPECIFIC LIMIT, RIGHT? SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT BRINGING ON MORE WELLS, TALK ABOUT BRINGING MORE SUPPLIERS, TALK ABOUT ALL THE WATER BUT IF WE CAN'T GET IT IT IS THE POINT? HOW ARE YOU

ADDRESSING THAT? >> WE HAVE A WATER RESERVATION AGREEMENT ALSO SO THAT IS PART OF THE STRATEGY TO BRING ON MORE WATER WITH A SEPARATE PIPELINE AND SEPARATE CONNECTION TO THE SYSTEM. THAT IS IN PLAY RIGHT NOW. I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHY

[01:20:03]

YOU WILL HAVE THAT DISCUSSION OFF-LINE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

THOSE ARE SOME STRATEGIES INCLUDING EXISTING WATER RESOURCES OR EXISTING CONTRACTS WE HAVE . CONSERVATION IS STILL PART OF THAT . YOU CAN'T JUST ESCAPE THAT BECAUSE ANY PIPELINE CAN HAVE WATER LOSS SO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING THE PIPELINE FROM SHILOH. SO, IT IS A MATTER OF YOU WILL HAVE TO BRING IN MORE WATER THROUGH A SEPARATE PIPELINE TO CONNECT TO

OUR SYSTEM. >> THAT IS PART OF THE PLAN TO HAVE NOT ONLY MORE WATER SUPPLY BUT ALSO MORE PIPES AND MORE DISTRIBUTION TO GET IT TO US SO WE CAN TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF

THE CAPACITY? >> WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON DISTRIBUTION PROJECTS , TRANSMISSION PROJECTS, THOSE ARE CRITICAL TO MOVE WATER AROUND THE CITY. THEY ARE IN

CONSTRUCTION. >> WHAT PART DO THE ADDITIONAL WATER TOWERS PLAY? I KNOW WE ARE BRINGING BACK ONLINE THE ONE DOWNTOWN, WE ARE BRINGING THAT BACK ONLINE, WE HAVE PLANS TO BUILD ADDITIONAL WATER TOWERS, WE ARE EXPANDING SOME EXISTING ONES WOULD SUPPLY. HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO THAT? DOES THAT ALLOW US TO PUMP WATER FROM THE WELLS TO GET IT WHERE WE NEED IT TO

USE IT? >> THEY MAKE IT LOCAL. THEY MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR NOT ONLY STORAGE, BUT PRESSURE SO THEY KIND OF EXTEND YOUR PEAK TIME AS WELL AS ANY EMERGENCIES YOU MAY HAVE TO FACE FOR LOCAL STORAGE. SO, THEY ARE A CRITICAL PORTION OF YOUR ASSETS IN YOUR WATER STORAGE AND PRESSURE MANAGEMENT.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? WE WILL TRY TO FINISH UP . I WILL SAY THE OVERALL CONCERN IS WHEN WE TALK 2028 OR 2029 MOVING WATER, WE'RE ONLY TALKING THREE, 4, FIVE YEARS AWAY. WE WILL GET TO THE OTHER DEAL THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL PIPELINE WATER SUPPLY, BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO KNOW OBVIOUSLY WE PROJECT 2028 THE PIPELINE IS AT CAPACITY. THAT COULD CHANGE TO 2027 BECAUSE WE DID SOME MAJOR PROJECT , WE COULD HAVE A FALLOUT AND GO TO 2029 OR 2030. WHAT I'M TRYING TO CONCEPTUALIZE OR VERBALIZE AND UNDERSTAND IS WE DON'T HAVE AN INFINITE SUPPLY OF WATER.

THERE'S LIMITATIONS TO HOW MUCH YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET HERE WITH ALL THE AGREEMENTS WE CURRENTLY HAVE AND AT SOME POINT IF THIS OTHER MATTER WE WILL TALK ABOUT LATER DOESN'T HAPPEN WE ARE GOING TO END UP RUNNING OUT OF WATER . WHEN I HEAR YOU SAY CONSERVE I START THINKING OF STAGE TWO, STAGE THREE, STAGE FOUR AS PART OF THE CONSERVATION, AM I CORRECT?

>> ANY CONSERVATION LEVEL , EVEN VOLUNTARY IS A CONSERVATION

STAGE. >> WHAT I DON'T WANT IS WE SOMETIMES GROW , BUILD, THIS IS GREAT AND THE WHOLE TIME I'M UP HERE THINKING HOW MUCH WATER DO WE HAVE LEFT BECAUSE WE ARE MAKING DECISIONS TODAY ASSUMING WE ARE GETTING ANOTHER PIPELINE WITH ANOTHER LOAD OF WATER COMING AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WILL TURN OUT, WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT'S FINALIZED. WE HAVE LITIGATION GOING FOR FIVE YEARS SO IF YOU TELL ME SOMETHING WILL COME, ADDITIONAL WATER, WE MIGHT HAVE THAT IF ADAM SAYS LATER ON 45 YEARS THIS WILL BE RESOLVED, THEN THAT PUTS US RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME WE RUN OUT AND THAT TIME THEY START DOING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY , CONSTRUCTING AND THAT IS 2 TO 3 YEARS AWAY. WE DON'T HAVE THIS HUGE RUNWAY THAT WE CAN JUST KEEP DOING THINGS. I THINK WE NEED TO BE A LITTLE MORE CHOOSY AND WHAT WE DO BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM WITH MAKING SURE WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE ON STAGE FOUR AND FIVE WATER HERE AND POTENTIALLY THREE OR FOUR YEARS AND THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF DOING THIS. EVERYBODY WANTS TO CONFLATE THE ISSUE WITH BILTMORE STORAGE TANKS AND ALL THIS WHICH PROLONGS IT TO SOME POINT BUT AT SOME POINT IF WE DON'T GET ADDITIONAL WATER SUPPLY LIKE AN ADDITIONAL PIPELINE THIS CITY WILL RUN OUT OF WATER AM I RIGHT IN SAYING THAT? WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL MECHANISM TO GET

WATER. >> I BELIEVE THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE PLAN TO HAVE ADDITIONAL WATER POINTS OF ENTRY. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS GETTING THOSE ADDITIONAL POINTS OF ENTRY INCLUDING ALL THE OTHER STRATEGIES I MENTIONED WHETHER IT IS CONSERVATION, WATER LOSS CONTROLS , WATER BE USED, ALL OF THAT IS AN INTEGRATIVE PLAN THAT HELPS ANY

[01:25:03]

CITY CONTINUE TO HAVE AN EXTENDED THEIR RESOURCES.

THAT'S ALSO BEEN THE PLAN TO GET ADDITIONAL PIPELINE WITH THE AUGMENT, THE ONES WE HAVE, INCREASE OUR PRODUCTION CAPACITY, SO THOSE ARE STILL IN PLAY AND THAT IS THE STRATEGY WE CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS. THE ONLY THING I WOULD DIFFER ON IS THAT WASN'T ALWAYS THE PLAN WHEN I GET A PEER. WHEN I FIRST GOT APPEAR WE TOLD THE PUBLIC WE HAD TOO MUCH WATER AND WE WERE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR A HIGH WATER USER. NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT 2019 BUT WE WERE PROMOTING TRYING TO GET A HIGH WATER USER AND THOSE OF US THAT READ THE REPORT DIDN'T KNOW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT YOU CAN TELL THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH WATER YOU CAN PUMP THROUGH PIPELINE SO IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY WELLS YOU GET. YOU'VE ONLY GOT ONE PIPELINE. JAMES AND I TALKED ABOUT THE COST OF RUNNING A 38 MILE PIPELINE AND I'M SURE IT WOULD RAISE WATER BILLS UP. WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS WHEN I GO TO VOTE FOR THINGS AND MY VOTING FOR THINGS THAT MAKE US BETTER AS A CITY AND OVER THE COST OF LIVING OR IF I'M DOING THINGS IT WILL MAKE US IN FIVE YEARS YOU GUYS COME BACK AND GO GOOD NEWS WE FOUND A WATER SUPPLY, THE BAD NEWS IS IT'S GOING TO COST $80 A MONTH OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO IMPLEMENT WHATEVER THE PROCESS IS? PUTTING ALL THIS OUT HERE. IT'S NOT A GOT YOU. IT'S TO HAVE SOME SORT OF NUMBER SO WE CAN START VISUALIZING AND THINKING THAT EVERY PROJECT WE APPROVE BRINGS THAT DAY CLOSER AND EVERY PROJECT WE DENY PUSHES IT AWAY ALL WHILE WE TRY TO FIGURE OUT A SECOND OR THIRD SOURCE OF WATER BECAUSE AT SOME POINT IN TIME I DON'T WANT TO BE THE PERSON SITTING UP HERE GOING YOU CAN'T WATER AT ALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT STAGE FIVE IS BUT WE HAVE BEEN STAGE FOUR, I DON'T WANT TO GET TO THAT POINT IN THREE YEARS BECAUSE TWO YEARS AGO WE WERE PUSHING DEVELOPMENT AND WE HAD TONS OF APARTMENTS COMING. I WANT TO MODERATE THINGS A LITTLE BIT TO WHERE YOU HAVE ENOUGH LEEWAY TO MAKE DECISIONS AND WE CAN FUND IT PROPERLY AS OPPOSED WITH A GUN TO HER HEAD THINKING WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE TODAY IS THREE YEARS , YOU DO ANOTHER REPORT AND COULD BEFORE, IT COULD BE TO . IT COULD BE ONE IN A COUPLE YEARS AND BEFORE YOU GOT HERE , WE HAD AN ENGINEER STAND IN FRONT OF US AND GO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, IF YOU DON'T APPROVE THE STEEL THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO PLACE TO FLUSH THE TOILET BECAUSE PFLUGERVILLE IS DONE DOING BUSINESS WITH US. SO WHAT DO WE DO? HE SAID I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE WAITED TOO LONG. ALL AND TRY TO DO IS MAKE SURE WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM TO DO WHAT YOU PROFESSIONALS KNOW HOW TO DO BECAUSE IF WE KEEP MAKING BIG PROJECTS AT SOME POINT YOU'RE GOING TO RUN OUT WAYS TO DO IT . THAT'S ALL THIS

IS ABOUT. >> TIER POINT, I SEE ADAM LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO SPEAK SO I WON'T BELABOR THIS. HE SAID

I'M HAPPY TO LET YOU TALK. >> SO, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC , I WANTED TO ADD THIS IN. I THINK THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE ASKED TO HAVE PRODUCED FOR YOU SO YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THIS THE SAME WAY. IF I'M LOOKING AT LAST YEAR'S USAGE DURING THE DROUGHT, DURING THE SUMMERTIME WHICH IS USUALLY THE HOTTEST OF THE YEAR WHEN WE ARE IN THE RESTRICTIONS , THE HIGHEST PRODUCTION WE HAD DURING THE SUMMER TIME WAS INSET TIMBER WHERE THIS WELL FIELD PRODUCED AT 2.56 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY.

IT'S NOT PRODUCING AT 4 RIGHT NOW. WE ARE EFFECTIVELY GOING FROM 4 TO 6 WHICH IS WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. THE 2.56 WAS THE HIGHEST PRODUCTION IN SOME NUMBER . THEN WE GET TO OCTOBER WHERE WE START TO LACKS OFF BECAUSE OF IT NOT BEING SO HOT AND IT ACTUALLY WENT UP SLIGHTLY TO 2.64 MGD AS THE HIGHEST . THE AVERAGE FOR THAT MONTH WAS 2.3 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY. YES, WATER IS A FINITE RESOURCE. AT SOME POINT IN TIME WE HAVE REACHED THE LAST CONNECTION OF WHO TO CONNECT AND EVERYONE CAN HAVE THE WATER THEY NEED AND WE HAVE THE WATER IN THE STORAGE WE NEED AND ALL THAT STUFF. THAT IS TRUE. THE THING I WOULD SAY IS WE ARE NOT PRODUCING RIGHT UP AGAINST WHERE WHEN WE ADD THAT IS WHY I'M THINKING THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY IS PROBABLY NOT JUST A THREE YEAR SUPPLY, IT'S PROBABLY GREATER THAN THAT. IT

[01:30:04]

IS IMPORTANT. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS CRITICAL LIKE WE HAVE TO GO OUT AND STOP EVERYTHING NOW . I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AT YET. WE WILL GET THE DATA OUT AND TRY TO FIGURE A WAY TO PUT IT FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND . IF YOU THINK ABOUT WE ARE GOING FROM 2.6 PEAK PRODUCTION AT THAT WILL CITE TO A POSSIBILITY OF SIX THAT MEANS WE CAN BASICALLY DOUBLE WHAT WE DO TODAY AND WE WOULD THAT BUYS US TIME TO SOLVE THE ISSUES YOU ARE DEFINITELY BRINGING UP.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY YOU HIT THE THREE THINGS ON THE HEAD.

SUPPLY, DEMAND AND CAPACITY FOR TRANSPORTATION. I WOULD SAY BASED ON THESE NUMBERS AND THE FACT THE RECHARGE IS IN FULL SWING , GETTING THE 4 MGD AND PROACTIVELY HAVE EPCOR RESERVING WATER AND WE HAVE A WRINKLE WITH THAT I WOULD SAY THERE'S SOME PRETTY GOOD FORETHOUGHT PLANNING HERE WHICH WE ARE UNFORTUNATELY GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH EPCOR, BUT I THINK TO GET TO YOUR THREE POINTS, WHICH IS THE CRUX OF ALL OF THIS, WE WILL BE BACK YOU'RE PROBABLY ON THE 27TH TO TALK MORE ABOUT EPCOR AND TAKE ACTION. I HATE TO ASK BUT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO PRESENT SOME OF THESE NUMBERS. IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS A REPORT DONE BACK IN 2022 AS SORT OF A MASTER WATER PLAN, SO I'M PRETTY FRESH TO YOU GUYS. I'M JUST GETTING ON BOARD HERE. MAYBE THERE IS INFORMATION IN THERE THAT ANSWERS A QUESTION ABOUT THIS 2028 YEAR. MAYBE IT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT CAN BE DONE BY THE 27TH, BUT --

>> I'M NOT LOOKING FOR UPDATES. WE ARE COGNIZANT THERE IS A DEADLINE AT SOME POINT BECAUSE IF EPCOR DOESN'T GO THROUGH IN A YEAR AT SOME POINT WE WILL TALK MAYBE ABOUT A THIRD OPTION.

WE ARE FAMOUS IN THE CITY FOR KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL SOMEONE FORCES US TO DO SOMETHING AND IN MY OPINION ARE GOING TO BE GOOD STEWARDS IN THE CITY AND IT WILL GROW SUSTAINABLY. YOU AT LEAST KNOW THERE IS A FLOATING DEADLINE SOMEWHERE OUT HERE AND AS YOU GIVE US UPDATES AND IT'S GOING GREAT WE DON'T WORRY IF IT STARTS GOING BAD. MAYBE STAFF IS LOOKING AT ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE BECAUSE OTHER CITIES LIKE TORCH TOWN ALREADY WORKED ON PLAN C AND IMPLEMENTED PLAN C. WE ARE GOING FASTER, BUT IT'S ALL FOR ME THIS EXERCISE IS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS AWARE THE DEVELOPERS COME UP AND THEY ARE CRYING ABOUT WE NEED MORE WATER. WHETHER IT BE 2028 OR 2029 JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE WATER THE PEOPLE I TALKED TO DON'T WANT STAGE FOR. THEY DON'T WANT STAGE ONE. THEY WANT WATER WHEN THEY WANT IT. THEY DON'T WANT US TO TELL THEM THEY CAN'T DO THINGS BECAUSE THE CITY WANTS TO CITE EVERYBODY BUT IF YOU'RE IN A STAGE FOR ALL SUMMER LONG HOW DO WE ENFORCE TO MAKE SURE HOAS HAVE GREEN GRASS BECAUSE WE MADE THE WATER SITUATION. THAT'S ALL THIS IS. WE TEND TO DRAG THIS OUT. THE MEMO IS A BIG START FOR US. WE ACKNOWLEDGE WE HAVE SOME ACTUAL STUFF. THAT'S ALL I REALLY WANTED. I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION BY EVERYBODY. IT IS 8:30. WE ARE READY UNLESS YOU GUYS NEED MORE TIME TO TALK.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE ITEM 14.2 B TO KEEP IT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND RECESS INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

>> SECOND ON THAT. >> THAT MOTION DIES.

>> YOU GET YOUR PAYCHECK TONIGHT.

THE THREE APPLICANTS WE DO HAVE WE ARE GOING TO INTERVIEW. I'VE ALREADY SENT AN EMAIL SO HOPEFULLY YOU GOT THAT.

I KNOW ONE OF YOU DID. YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO APPLY. ANYBODY INTERESTED IN SERVING ON A BOARD COMMISSION, PLEASE PUT YOUR APPLICATION IN. GO TO HUTTO TX.GOV , CLICK ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND CLICK APPLY. IT IS VERY EASY TO FIND THAT.

>> COULD YOU SHARE WHICH APPLICATIONS AND WHICH ONES YOU DON'T HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR IT ALL?

YOUR HEAD? YEAH. OKAY. >> I WANT TO ADD I BELIEVE THERE'S ALSO ONE FOR MEGA SITE , INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NUMBER THREE JUST TO CLARIFY. THERE IS AN OPENING THERE AS

WELL. >> I WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR THE

UPDATE. >> THAT'S FINE. THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE OPENINGS AND YOU HAVE TIME TO APPLY AN INTERVIEW.

>> THERE IS NO UPDATE FROM THE LEGISLATIVE SUBCOMMITTEE.

>> ALL RIGHT. IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION, NOT THAT I WANT TO MAKE STAFF LATE, BUT IF WE COULD HOLD OFF ON 9.1 AND MOVED TO 9.2 THE PUBLIC HEARING CONSENT SO MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE WAITING CAN LEAVE UNLESS THEY WANT TO SEE US THROUGH THE CIP. ANY

>> HELLO. THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL. ALBERTA BARRETT . I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND FOR THIS ITEM IS THE FINAL TRANSACTION NUMBERS FOR THE ISSUANCE. JIM IS HERE

WITH HILL TOP TO ADDRESS THOSE. >> I WILL PUT PUBLIC HEARING FIRST. OPEN TO PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:30 P.M. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO COME UP AND SPEAK REGARDING THE PRAIRIE WENT PUBLIC DISTRICT AREA NUMBER ONE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE BOND SERIES 2025? I CAN'T MAKE THAT ANY SHORTER. SEEING NO ONE FROM THE PUBLIC, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:39 P.M.

WELCOME. >> GOOD EVENING. TONIGHT BEFORE YOU, YOU HAVE THE ORDINANCE TO ISSUE THE PRAIRIE WIND PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT AREA ONE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE BOND SERIES 2025. FOR BACKGROUND , PRAIRIE WIND IS A 253 ACRE DEVELOPMENT , APPROXIMATELY 1093 HOMES THAT HAVE A BUILDOUT JUST UNDER HALF $1 BILLION. THIS BOND ISSUE IS FOR IMPROVEMENT AREA ONE WHICH WOULD BE 280 HOMES RANGING FROM THE BUILD OFF OF 365 TO 460,000 AVERAGING SLIGHTLY OVER 400,000.

THE CITIES CURRENT TAX RATE WILL GENERATE JUST UNDER $500,000 PER YEAR FOR THE CITY. ALSO , UPON FINAL PLAT WILL BE PAYING PER

[01:40:10]

HOME FEE OF $3500 FOR ABOUT $980,000. THIS WAS MARKETED TODAY AND I'M PLEASED TO SAY WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL MARKETING.

I WAS HERE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO TO TELL YOU WE HAD THE MOST EFFICIENT PRICE BOND SOLD AT 150 BASIS POINTS. THIS CAME AT 149 BASIS POINTS. THERE WERE 20,490,000 ORDERS FOR ABOUT 10,810,000 BONDS . WE ALSO HAD SEVEN OF THE WALL STREET INVESTMENT FUNDS PUT ORDERS IN . BLACKROCK, FIRST EAGLE INVESTMENTS . IT WAS REALLY WELL PRICE. IF YOU TURN TO PAGE THREE OF THE HANDOUT YOU WILL SEE THESE ARE THE RECENT TRANSACTIONS THAT WE COMPARED IT TO INCLUDING THE COTTONWOOD TRANSACTION THAT WAS DONE RECENTLY AND THEY DID A GOOD JOB. WE STARTED THIS PROCESS IN REAL EARNEST LAST WEEK. WE HAD PRELIMINARY NUMBERS GOING IN FROM FRIDAY TO THE WEEKEND AND THE MARKET TREE WAS OFF YESTERDAY ABOUT 3 TO 4 BASIS POINTS. THE INVESTMENTS HELD THEIR BONDS AT 149 BASIS SPREAD HERE. AN EFFICIENT TRANSACTION. ON PAGE FOUR THIS IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE. AS THESE BONDS BECOME PRICED BETTER AND THEY OUTPERFORM OUR INITIAL EXPECTATIONS ONE OF THE BENEFITS IS THE DEVELOPER. IN HERE, ON PAGE FOUR, I SHOW A COMPARISON OF WHAT WE DID FROM THE PRELIMINARY MEMORANDUM AND THE PRELIMINARY SERVICE ASSESSMENT PLAN . OVERALL, THE SPREAD CAME DOWN 30 BASIS POINTS IN THE INTEREST RATE ITSELF CAME DOWN ABOUT 60 BASIS POINTS. THE NET RESULT WAS THAT WHEN THE TRANSACTION ALLOWED A HIGHER AMOUNT BY ABOUT 687,000 WHICH ALLOWED THE PROJECT FUND TO GENERATE ABOUT 625,000 MORE THAN INITIALLY ANTICIPATED, BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS THE PAYMENT DIDN'T GO FOR THE HOMEOWNERS . IT ACTUALLY WENT DOWN $10 FROM THE INITIAL ANTICIPATED 2004 53 TO $2443 . IN SUMMARY, THIS WAS A REALLY WELL PRICED TRANSACTION. PAGE FIVE, THIS HAS A MODERATE OVERALL LEVEL COMPARED TO SOME PROJECTS WE WORK WITH. THIS SHOWS YOU THE AVERAGE ASSESSMENT PER LOT AND ANNUAL PAYMENTS THAT THE HOMEOWNERS WILL BE MAKING. IT IS ALL CONSISTENT AND COMPLYING WITH THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT .

PAGE SEVEN KIND OF SHOWS THE HISTORY WE HAD. THIS IS A LONG PERCOLATING PROJECT OF THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WE STARTED IN 2021 AND THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF STEPS TAKEN PLACE TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. TODAY YOU HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE COULD IMPROVE THE ASSESSMENT AND TO ISSUE THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT BONDS . HE IS HERE. IF YOU PREFER HE WILL SUBMIT IT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL AND WE ANTICIPATE FUNDING ON MARCH 27TH. AS INDICATED, THE $480,000 WILL BE PAID WITH A WEEK PRIOR TO THE FIRST CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY WITH THAT. IN SUMMARY, I HAVE TO SAY THESE ARE GETTING MORE EFFICIENT . YOUR STAFF DID A WONDERFUL JOB GETTING THIS . THE PROFESSIONALS INVOLVED FROM THE FINANCE TEAM DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB AND AS A RESULT IT WAS A EFFICIENT TRANSACTION. ONCE YOU HAVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY AND DEVELOPERS TRY TO DO IT AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE IT A SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS PROVIDED IN

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. >> QUESTIONS OR ACTION FROM

COUNCIL? >> WHAT IS THE ACTION YOU NEED

FROM US? >> THE COUNCIL WOULD CONSIDER TO IMPROVE THE ISSUE IN THE EVERYONE REVENUE BONDS.

>> YOU CAN JUST APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2025- 011 AS

[12.1. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2025-064 regarding updates to the Hutto Public Library Policies & Procedures Manual. (Kristin Phillips) ]

>> MOTION PASSES 7-0. NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 12.1, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER R-2025-064 REGARDING UPDATES TO THE HUTTO PUBLIC LIBRARY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL. GOT YOU OUT HERE BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

>> THAT EVENING. I NAME IS KRISTIN PHILLIPS, LIBRARY DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD. I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE AFTER DISCUSSING WITH THE LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD FOR A FEW OF OUR SESSIONS AND VOTING ON IT IN OUR LAST SESSION, FAIRBURY 10TH, THERE WERE A FEW THINGS WE THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE UPDATED WITHIN OUR POLICY. THAT INCLUDES OFFERING FREE LIBRARY CARDS TO MORE GROUPS BECAUSE CURRENTLY WE JUST OFFER TO THE CITY OF HUTTO EMPLOYEES REGARDLESS OF THEIR RESIDENCY AND AFTER MEETING WITH ISD'S AND MEETING , WE WANTED TO INCLUDE AND I WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT , SOME OF THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WE THINK COULD BENEFIT NOT JUST FROM OUR PHYSICAL BUT ONLINE SERVICES.

ALSO BECAUSE WE HAVE NEW LEADERSHIP, CHANGING THE MANAGER WORD TO DIRECTOR AND THEN LASTLY THE AGE FOR THE CARD TO ADJUST IT TO REFLECT THE SAME POLICY WE HAVE FOR HUTTO PUBLIC LIBRARY CARD WHICH IS AGE 16. DO I HAVE THE THING? OH. I DIDN'T KNOW I

[01:50:08]

HAD THE POWER. I DO WANT TO SAY UP FRONT THERE IS NO COST FOR ANY RECOMMENDED CHANGES. IT WAS VOTED ON BY HER LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD. WE HAVE A MEMBER HERE AND THE LAST TIME THAT THIS WAS REVISED WAS SEPTEMBER 2023, SO IT'S BEEN A WHILE. AS I WAS TALKING ABOUT GROUPS , WE WANT TO REMOVE BARRIERS. WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO OUR RESOURCES AND WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE OF COURSE OUR CITY OF HUTTO EMPLOYEES WE GIVE FREE CARDS TO REGARDLESS OF THEIR RESIDENCY. IN FACT WE ARE STARTING TO USE THE ORIENTATION FOR NEW HIRES SO THEY CAN BE WELCOMED INTO USE THE LIBRARY CARD RIGHT AWAY AND TOUR THE LIBRARY. WE WANTED TO OPEN IT UP AFTER TALKING WITH HUTTO ISD, WE WANTED TO GIVE OUR HUTTO ISD EMPLOYEES ACCESS TO OUR ONLINE RESOURCES. IT SUPPORTS THEIR LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM. THEY CAN USE IT AS THEIR PLANNING FOR DIFFERENT CURRICULUM UNITS AND THEN ALSO OUR KIDDOS CAN USE IT WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN SCHOOL. FOR EXAMPLE, OVER THE SUMMER OR SPRING BREAK OR OVER THE WEEKENDS. WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO OFFER ALL CURRENT HUTTO ISD EMPLOYEES A FREE LIBRARY CARD REGARDLESS OF THEIR RESIDENCY. ALSO, WE WOULD LIKE TO OFFER CURRENT FACULTY AND STUDENTS FREE CARDS AS WELL . RECENTLY JUST THIS MONTH WE REPRESENTED HUTTO PUBLIC LIBRARY AT THE RESOURCE FAIRS THAT WERE OUT AT EWCHEC , ONE WAS FOR TEMPLE COLLEGE. WHAT WE HEARD FROM A LOT OF THE STUDENTS THERE, THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE HAD AVAILABLE WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE. IT WAS NICE TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO THEM AND SHOW THEM WHAT WE HAD. IT WOULD BE NICER TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THEM A FREE LIBRARY CARD TO ACCESS THOSE RESOURCES. I DO WANT TO SAY, I DIDN'T PUT IN THE SLIDE BUT I DO WANT TO SAY OUR CURRENT COST IS ACTUALLY QUITE LOW. THERE ARE OTHER CITIES AROUND US UPWARDS OF $100 A YEAR FOR A LIBRARY CARD. CURRENTLY , HUTTO PUBLIC LIBRARY IS AT $10 FOR TWO YEARS ESSENTIALLY FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE OF THE HUTTO ISD LIMITS. IT'S NOT A HUGE COST , BUT WE DO BELIEVE WE CAN HAVE MORE PEOPLE USING OUR SERVICES AND ESPECIALLY OUR ONLINE SERVICES IF WE OPEN IT UP TO THESE GROUPS OF PEOPLE. AGAIN, NOT JUST TERMINOLOGY FOR LIBRARY MANAGER TO DIRECTOR WHICH WAS EFFECTIVE JULY 2024, BUT IT SAYS ANNUAL A LOT. I KNOW YOU PROBABLY SEEN THAT WHEN YOU REVIEWED THE POLICY MANUAL, WE ARE NOT DOING IT ANNUAL ANYMORE, THE TERM IS ACTUALLY TWO YEARS SO I WANTED TO UPDATE THE LANGUAGE YOU HAD TO DO WITH THAT SO IT REFLECTED THE CURRENT TERM. LASTLY, OUR TECH SHARE CARDS. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT A

TECH SHARE CARD IS? >> NOT UNTIL TONIGHT.

>> I SAY IT'S LIKE A FAST PASS. IT IS A STATEWIDE PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS OUR LIBRARY PATRONS TO BORROW MATERIALS FROM OTHER PARTICIPATING LIBRARIES ACROSS TEXAS. WHEN WE DO THE ANNUAL ACCREDITATION PROCESS AND WE GET THAT ACCREDITATION EVERY OTHER LIBRARY IN TEXAS THAT ALSO RECEIVES THAT ACCREDITATION CAN DO BUSINESS WITH THEM THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. IT EXPANDS ACCESS TO RESOURCES BEYOND WHAT ANY SINGLE LIBRARY CAN PROVIDE , BENEFITING STUDENTS, RESEARCHERS AND LIFELONG LEARNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS TO GIVE AN IDEA. A LIBRARY CARD HOLDER IN GOOD STANDING WITH US MEANS THEY'VE HAD A HUTTO PUBLIC LIBRARY CARD FOR TWO MONTHS, THEY CAN REQUEST A TECH SHARE CARD FROM OUR LIBRARY. THIS ALLOWS THEM TO CHECK OUT MATERIALS IN PERSON FROM OTHER PUBLIC ACADEMIC AND SPECIAL LIBRARIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. IF I LIBRARY DOESN'T HAVE A SPECIFIC BOOK OR JOURNAL OR MAGAZINE OR RESOURCE OF SOME KIND A PATRON CAN FIND IT ELSEWHERE. THE TEXTURE PROGRAM SAVES TAXPAYER MONEY BY ENCOURAGING RESOURCE SHARING AMONG LIBRARIES RATHER THAN DUPLICATING OUR COLLECTIONS. IT STRENGTHENS EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS AND HELPS CREATE A MORE CONNECTED LIBRARY NETWORK ACROSS TEXAS. IN SHORT, THE TECH SHARE CARD PROVIDES OUR COMMUNITY WITH GREATER ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST TO OUR BUDGET. ONE OF THE THINGS WE LIKE TO DO IS SHARE. WE HAVE THE I LL, INTERLIBRARY LOAN PROCESS AND WE SHARE WITH LIBRARIES ALL OVER TEXAS. IN FACT, SO FAR IN FISCAL YEAR 25 WE HAVE ORDERED 100 TO RESOURCES FOR OUR

[01:55:06]

COMMUNITY HERE AND WE'VE ALSO WENT OUT ABOUT 20 RESOURCES.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT IS BETTER THAN PURCHASING THOSE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES SO EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN COPY. THIS WAY WE SHARE. THE REASON FOR THE 16 IS IN OUR HUTTO PUBLIC LIBRARY POLICY AND PROCEDURE MANUAL ONE OF THE MANY WAYS YOU CAN GET A LIBRARY CARD SHOWING A DRIVERS LICENSE WHICH IS WHY THEY HAVE THE AGE AT 16 BECAUSE A VALID DRIVERS LICENSE, IF THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF PERSONAL CHECK , A WATER UTILITY BILL, PROOF OF RESIDENCY , A POSTMARK MAIL, PAY STUBS, THINGS LIKE THAT. WE KNOW IT AGE 16 -- I HAVE A 16-YEAR-OLD HOME , THEY ARE DRIVING, GETTING JOBS, PAYING TAXES. SO, WE HAVE THAT AVAILABLE. I WANTED THE TECH SHARE CARD TO REFLECT THAT SAME AGE WE HAVE FOR OUR LIBRARY CARDS SO THERE WASN'T ANY SORT OF DISCREPANCY THERE. IN ADDITION WHAT BROUGHT MY ATTENTION TO THAT WAS WE HAD A STUDENT, THAT HAS BEEN USING OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR A LONG TIME AND HE IS 16. HE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO USE OTHER SPECIAL LIBRARIES THAT WERE SPECIFIC TO HIS STUDIES. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH THOSE TEXSHARE CARDS IF THEY MEET THAT

CRITERIA. YEAH. THAT WAS IT. >> I HAD A QUESTION REGARDING THE TEXSHARE. IN OUR CITY, WE HAVE NO LATE FEES AND WE HAVE BROADCAST THAT. I ONLY QUESTION IS IF SOMEONE REQUESTS A TEXSHARE LENDING AND THEY DON'T RETURN IT , WHAT HAPPENS ON THOSE ? WE ARE WILLING TO DO THAT WITH OUR CITY, BUT THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD IS , IS THERE A FEE IF IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO BACK TO ROUND ROCK AND IT'S NOT RETURNED DO THEY GET CHARGED A FEE THAT WAY? ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THAT BOOK AND WE HAVE NO RAY -- WAY TO RE-COMPENSATE BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUR LIBRARY? I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT PROTECTION WE HAD ON TEXSHARE NOT HOW WE DO STUFF IN THE CITY.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. THE ANSWER TO THAT IS MOST OF THE TIME BECAUSE YES WE HAVE LOTS OF RULES. BUT WE TALK TO EACH OTHER. I'VE HAD SITUATIONS WHERE I'VE HAD A PATRON WHO SAID I CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE LIBRARY , BUT I CAN MAKE IT NEXT WEEK AND THAT WILL BE LATE. THEN CALLING THAT LIBRARY AND SAYING IT'S COMING BACK BUT IS COMING BACK NEXT WEEK CAN WE RENEW IT AND EXTEND IT? I'VE NEVER BEEN TOLD NO. THAT'S NOT TO SAY I WOULDN'T EVER BE TOLD NO, BUT TYPICALLY WE WANT THE RESOURCES ENHANCE OF PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DO NO GOOD TO US ON THE SHELVES GATHERING DUST. A LOT OF TIMES WE FIX IT BY CALLING AND MAKING THAT SIMPLE REQUEST. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. I CAN'T THINK OF A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE BUT I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOMEONE WHO USED THE I LL PROCESS WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE TEXSHARE CARD BUT IT'S THE SAME THOUGHT PROCESS. THEY DIDN'T RETURN THE BOOK AND THEN THEY WERE CHARGED TO REPLACE THE BOOK. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. WE ARE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF WANTING TO CHARGE THE PUBLIC. THAT'S WHY WE GOT RID OF FINES.

WE DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT. NINE TIMES OUT OF 10 , TO KIND OF FOR BOASTFULLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE CAN TALK TO THE LIBRARY'S FIRST 10 FIGURE SOMETHING OUT AND IF NOT THERE COULD BE A FINE THAT THE OTHER LIBRARY MIGHT CHARGE BUT NOT US.

>> THANK YOU. >> QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL OR

ACTION? >> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. ANY DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE AN AMENDMENT. I LIKE HOW IT ACTUALLY KIND OF GIVES A TIMELINE OF THE EDITS AS IT HAS EVOLVED OBVIOUSLY WE ARE NOT KEEPING THE OLD LANGUAGE IN BUT I'M SURE THAT CAN BE FOUND. BUT, JUST IN HOURS OF OPERATION, IT IS WORDY, I GET IT. SOMETIMES A LIBRARY IS CLOSED FOR HOLIDAYS AND YOU CAN'T REALLY PUT THAT SET IN STONE BECAUSE HOLIDAYS ARE ON DIFFERENT DAYS BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD OR ADD LANGUAGE OF THE ACTUAL LIBRARY HOURS THAT WE HAVE , MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, CLOSE ON SUNDAY. JUST UPDATING THAT TO THE APPROPRIATE TIME SO WE CAN GO BACK AND MAYBE IN TWO YEARS WHEN THIS IS REVISITED MAYBE WE HAVE DIFFERENT HOURS, MAYBE WE

[02:00:03]

HAVE EXPANDED HOURS SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SEE AS AN

EXPANSION . >> YES. I'VE ALSO READ THAT PARAGRAPH AND THOUGHT IT WAS VERBOSE .

>> I LOVE IT. YES. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT. I CAN DEFINITELY WORK ON MAKING THAT MORE CONCISE AND LISTING THE CURRENT HOURS WE HAVE. THIS IS JUST ME GUESSING I HAVE NO INFORMATION ON THIS THAT IN THE PAST THEY HAD HOPED TO HAVE MORE STAFF TO HAVE MORE HOURS SO THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT IN THERE.

I'M HAPPY TO GO BACK AND ADD THAT IN.

>> I WOULD ALSO LIKE IN THE SECTION THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE VERBOSE NESTS, WHY DON'T YOU PUT THE LINK TO THE WEBSITE OF OUR CITY GOVERNMENT PAGE THAT WILL SHOW TO THE LIBRARY PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE SO PEOPLE CAN JUST CLICK ON THAT IF THEY SEE THE MANUAL AND IT'S AN INTERACTIVE LINK, THEY PUT THE WEBSITE AND

SHOW THE CURRENT TIMES? >> WE DO HAVE THAT LINK ON OUR WEBSITE RIGHT NOW AS WELL AS ALL OF THE TIMES ON OUR FRONT PAGE

OF THE LIBRARY. >> RIGHT. I KNOW THAT. MY POINT IS IF YOU PUT THE LINK IN THE POLICY PROCEDURE MANUAL.

>> JUST A PROCEDURAL, THE COUNCILMEMBER HAD A MOTION WE NEED TO DISPOSE OF BEFORE WE HAVE MORE DISCUSSION OUTSIDE OF THAT MOTION IF WE COULD. DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE? YOU WANT TO

CHANGE THE HOURS? >> IF THERE'S A WAY TO MEET YOU I WOULD MUTE YOU FOR A MINUTE. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT

THE MOTION IS. >> MOTION TO ADD THE CURRENT HOURS TO THAT SECTION. THE HOURS OF OPERATION ON PAGE FIVE.

>> I ACCEPT THAT AS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.

>> I THOUGHT BRIAN SECONDED. >> YOU MADE THE MOTION.

>> YEAH, FOR THE ORIGINAL. >> THE MOTION BETWEEN GORDON AND THOMPSON IS TO ADOPT IT AS PRESENTED WITH THE CHANGE IN THE HOURS TO ADD ACTUAL HOURS. IS THAT CORRECT?

>> I WAS THINKING WE HAVE THE LINK IN THAT SAME AREA TO WHERE SOMEONE CAN CLICK TO SEE THE HOURS THROUGH THE WEBSITE?

>> AFTER THEY SEE THE HOURS ON THE PAGE YOU CAN CLICK THE LINK

AND GO TO THE HOURS? >> CORRECT. THAT WAS ALL I WAS ASKING.

>> WHO IS THE AUDIENCE FOR THIS ?

>> IT'S A WHOLE COMMUNITY. >> THIS WILL BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE SOMEWHERE, WHERE THE COMMUNITY CAN SEE IT. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT AN INTERNAL DOCUMENT. WHAT IS THE

POINT IF IT IS EXTERNAL? >> WHEN PEOPLE ASK US QUESTIONS, WE GET ASKED A LOT ABOUT DONATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, AND WE REFERENCE, SPECIFICALLY, THIS DOCUMENT. WE USE IT ALL THE TIME AND IT IS ACCESSIBLE ON THE WEBSITE.

>> MY SECOND QUESTION WAS, IF WE CHANGE THE HOURS IN THREE MONTHS, YOU HAVE TO BRING THIS BACK TO COUNCIL TO GET IT APPROVED? THAT WAS MY ONLY RESERVATION ABOUT ADDING THE HOURS IN. I GUESS IT COULD BE A CONSENT ITEM, AND HOPEFULLY, WOULD NOT BE TALKED TO DEATH, BUT I'M OKAY WITH LEAVING IT IN HERE AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT CREATE AN UNDUE BURDEN ON YOU, TO HAVE TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL EVERY TIME YOU MODIFY SOMETHING.

OKAY. >> IT IS ALREADY PAST MY

BEDTIME. >> THE MOTION IS, AS PRESENTED, ADD THE HOURS, WITH THE LINK TO THE HOURS.

>> GOT IT. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON ALL OF THIS. I THINK IT IS A REALLY GREAT IDEA, WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO HERE TO IMPROVE PEOPLE'S ACCESS TO MATERIALS. THANK YOU GUYS ON THE BOARD, TAKING THIS UP AND GOING THROUGH IT ALL. I APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK THIS GOES ALONG WITH WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING WITH THE LIBRARY, WHICH IS REDUCING FEES, REDUCING OBSTRUCTIONS, AND REASONS WHY YOU CAN'T USE IT. I THINK THIS IS REALLY GOOD STUFF.

>> THANK YOU. >> IS THAT IT?

>> COUNCILMEMBER CLARK, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD

LIKE TO ADD? >> NO, SIR.

>> PLEASE CALL THE VOTE. >> COUNCILMEMBER THORTON.

[02:05:07]

>> AYE. >> COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON.

>> AYE. >> COUNCILMEMBER GORDON.

>> AYE. >> COUNCILMEMBER CLARK.

>> AYE. >> COUNCILMEMBER PORTERFIELD.

>> AYE COULD >> THE MOTION PASSES, 7-0. NEXT, WE HAVE ITEM -- IF WE CAN SKIP 13.1, AND PUT THAT IN WITH 9.1,

I BELIEVE. >> WAIT, WHAT ARE WE DOING? WE

ARE SKIPPING? >> I'M TRYING TO GET EVERYONE CLEARED OUT BEFORE WE GET TO 9.1 AND 13.

>> THEY ARE TOGETHER AT THE END. >> DO YOU OBJECT?

>> YEAH. WHY DELAY? WE DID NOT HAVE OUR CONVERSATION EARLIER.

[13.2. Consideration and possible action on Resolution No. R-2025-061 accepting and acknowledging the dedication of parkland in a residential community known as Emory Crossing. (Mayor Mike Snyder) ]

>> ALL RIGHT, ITEM 13.2 IS NEXT, CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON R-2025-061, ACCEPTING AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE DEDICATION OF PARKLAND IN A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY KNOWN AS EMORY CROSSING. I BROUGHT THIS BACK, BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE WE HAD SOME MISUNDERSTANDING, OR SOMETHING, FROM THE LAST

MEETING. THEN, WE GOT AN EMAIL. >> DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION, I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE IN RELATION TO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM COULD

>> IS IT READY, OR NOT READY? >> ARE THE AMENITIES BUILT? YES.

>> IS THE BID READY TO BE ACCEPTED?

>> NO, AND I AM RECOMMENDING THAT WE DO NOT ACCEPT AT THIS

TIME. >> HAVE WE COMMUNICATED TO THE

DEVELOPER? >> THE SITE VISIT THIS AFTERNOON, I DID ONE EARLIER THIS WEEK, AND WE DOCUMENTED SEVERAL THINGS THAT WERE OUTSTANDING AND NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED, AND I WENT BACK TODAY, JUST TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY PROGRESS MADE, AND IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE THERE WAS A LOT OF PROGRESS BEING MADE AT THAT TIME.

>> OKAY, SO THIS WILL COME BACK FROM YOU WELL, ONCE WE HAVE

ACCEPTED -- >> TALLEY IS HERE REPRESENTING THE BUILDER. SHE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THE OTHER SIDE. I THINK WHAT WE HAD BEEN NEGOTIATING WAS THAT IF WE ACCEPTED IT, IT WOULD BE PENDING THESE OUTSTANDING ITEMS. IT WAS THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE MAINTENANCE BOND, WHICH I BELIEVE THEY WERE PUTTING TOGETHER. I DON'T KNOW IF WE

RECEIVED IT. >> I DON'T THINK WE RECEIVED IT

YET. >> I KNOW SHE WAS WORKING ON IT.

THERE WAS THE INSPECTION THAT WAS DONE, AND IDENTIFIED BROKEN PANELS IN THE SIDEWALK, THAT THE BUILDER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPAIRING, AND ALSO, JUST GENERAL CLEANLINESS AND SUCH, THAT WAS IDENTIFIED. UP UNTIL THIS ITEM , IF COUNCIL WANTS TO ACCEPT IT, WE WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT IT BE ACCEPTED WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT THOSE OUTSTANDING ITEMS BE COMPLETED, WHICH THEY HAVE SHOWN THEY ARE INTENT TO DO, AND MAYOR, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL UP TALLY, SHE CAN TELL YOU FROM HER SIDE WHAT SHE BELIEVES HER CLIENT IS AT IN THAT PROCESS.
