[7.1. Presentation and discussion on Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Updates (Patricia Davis)]

PROJECT, CIP UPDATES. >> GOOD EVENING.

FOR THE RECORD, PATRICIA DAVIS, INTERIM CITY ENGINEER, CITY OF HUTTO. IT'S BEEN A WHILE -- SINCE I'VE SEEN YOU ALSO HELLO, FIRST OF ALL.

I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST ALSO THIS IS THE FIRST UPDATE SINCE FEBRUARY AND I WANT TO SPECIFICALLY DO SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOUS TO THE CITY TEAMS THAT HAVE HELPED PUT THIS TOGETHER. KATE MORIARTY PROVIDED A LOT OF SUPPORT. THE ENGINEERING TEAM, TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. OUR CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION TEAMS HAVE SUPPORTED OUR RIGHT-OF-WAY TEAM.

UTILITY COORDINATION, RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITIONS, HER LEGAL TEAM AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. SO AS I PRESENT AND GO THROUGH, YOU ALL RECEIVE SOME EDITS TO THE POWER POINT AND I WILL WALK THROUGH THOSE. I WILL POINT OUT EACH PROJECT AS IT IS IN A PLANNING STAGE, A DESIGN PHASE AND CONSTRUCTION AND AT THE END OF THE POWER POINT PRESENTATION, THIS IS A FIRST, AND IT WILL BE CONTINUAL, WE ARE PROVIDING AND AT RISK UPDATE OF PROJECTS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND YOU ALL ARE RECEIVING BIWEEKLY REPORTING ON THOSE PROJECTS.

FOR THE T4, 1660 SOUTH THAT U.S. 79, WE ARE IN COORDINATION AND

[00:05:13]

THIS IS A LONG-AWAITED PROJECT. FOR THE COUNTY ROAD 137, OUR PRIOR UPDATE, THIS PROJECT WE DID COMMUNICATE THAT WE PROCEEDED IN ADVANCE OF APPROVALS.

WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN THAT THEY DID GRANT THAT APPROVAL AND AUTHORITY. THE PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. ALL OF THE RIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE AT THE TIME WHEN I DID THE LAST UPDATE THERE WAS STILL ONE PENDING PARCEL RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION THAT IS CLEAR.

AGAIN, THAT'S THE NEW ITEM. WE ARE STILL PENDING SOME UTILITY RELOCATIONS AND CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION.

WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED COORDINATION WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE ARE ANTICIPATING TO MEET WITH THEM TO GIVE THEM AN UPDATE OF THE PROJECT THAT WILL IMPACT THE SCHOOL IN OCTOBER AND THAT MEETING WILL BE SOMETIME BEFORE SCHOOL IS OUT.

>> PATRICIA, ON THAT, SO IT'S APRIL -- I MEAN I GUESS MEETING -- HOW CAN WE MEET WITH THE SCHOOL AHEAD OF TIME -- MET WITH SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVES. LAST TIME THEY WERE -- THEY DID NOT REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT US BUT WOULD WE NOT WANT TO MEET

BEFORE? >> WE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BEFORE WE EVEN AWARDED THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND WE DISCUSSED IN PACKS AND CIRCULATION, STAGING AND SEQUENCING OF THE PROJECT, IMPACTS ALONG COUNTY ROAD 137 WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEN WE DID SHARE WITH THEM THAT WE WOULD DO A ROLLOUT PLAN THAT PROVIDE INFORMATION FOR THEM TO DO FLYERS AND HANDOUTS TO THE SCHOOL AND THE COMMUNITY AND WE ARE COORDINATING COMMUNICATION AS WELL.

AND SO WE ARE JUST GOING TO MEET WITH THEM ONE MORE TIME BEFORE SCHOOL IS OUT TO INFORM THEM WHAT THE OCTOBER TIME FRAME WOULD BE AND THEN DURING THE SUMMER, IF ANYTHING COMES UP, OUR COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR IS ALREADY IN COMMUNICATION WITH

THEIR COMMUNICATIONS PERSON. >> THAT WAS PREBID?

>> THAT WAS PREBID. >> MAYOR PRO TEM, THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF ANYTHING, RIGHT? SO THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE TO WHERE YOU GUYS TELL US ONE THING, THEY GET TOLD ANOTHER.

AS YOU GUYS ARE COMMUNICATING, AND I'M IMAGINING YOU GUYS HAVE A MEETING, YOU FINISH UP WITH AN EMAIL, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, JUST TO RECAP. CAN YOU COPY, LIKE, MYSELF AND THE MAYOR PRO TEM ON IT SO WE CAN THEN SHARE THAT WITH THEIR BOARD? THAT WAY, I IMAGINE IT WILL BE EXTREMELY DISRUPTIVE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

WE CAN SAY WE'VE SEEN THE MESSAGES, WE'VE GIVEN YOU THE INFORMATION. IF YOU GUYS AREN'T ACTING ON THAT, WE CAN'T. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE BIGGEST THING, IS SOMEHOW THERE'S A COMMUNICATION GAP.

WE SIT IN MEETINGS ALL THE TIME BEING TOLD WE ARE NOT COMMUNICATING BUT IF YOU COULD DO THAT FOR US THEN WE CAN ENSURE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT IS GOING TO BE DISRUPTIVE, WE CAN SHOW EVERYBODY, THE PUBLIC AND THE STUDENTS PARENTS THAT WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. >> I SPOKE AT THE LONG-RANGE PLANNING FACILITY, TUESDAY AND THURSDAY LAST WEEK.

THE ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL WAS AT THE TABLE, SHE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. SHE'S THE PRINCIPAL OF THE

SCHOOL. >> SO I KNOW THE PRIOR CITY ENGINEER, WE'VE BEEN CONTINUING, THERE ARE MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH

THE ISD. >> I'M NOT TRYING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT CITY IS NOT DOING OR WHATEVER, I'M JUST SAYING THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND PEOPLE, THE PRINCIPAL OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS OF LAST WEEK DID NOT KNOW ABOUT 137.

WHERE THE INTERSECTION. >> I WILL BE HONEST, I DON'T THINK IT'S YOU. SOMEWHERE IT'S GETTING DROPPED BUT US GETTING INVOLVED, WE CAN PUSH IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND

[00:10:02]

>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU.

THIS PROJECT HAS TWO COMPONENTS. IT HAS A SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS NORTH OF 79 AND THEN WE HAVE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT THE INTER INTERSECTION.

THE SIDEWALK PROJECT WE DISCUSSED LATER, IT IS 90% COMPLETE. THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE, THE PROJECT, THE CONTRACTOR IS A MONTH AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. AND SO WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SIDEWALK, WE ARE ANTICIPATING AGAIN TALKING ABOUT THAT LATER, IT'S A SLIDE, THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE, THE CONTRACTOR IS JUST COMPLETING EVERYTHING, THE CLOSEOUT DOCUMENTS AND THEN WE ARE ANTICIPATING TO COME BACK WITH CLOSE OUT ON THAT PROJECT AND WE ARE GOING TO USE TWO APPROACHES SINCE THERE'S TWO GENERAL CONTRACTORS ON THIS PROJECT. WE WILL HAVE THE FIRST INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT CLOSED OUT WITH THAT GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND THEN THAT'S SO THAT WE CAN GET THE WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE STARTED ON THAT INTERSECTION AND THEN THE SIDEWALK WILL FOLLOW

ONCE IT'S COMPLETED. >> JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE INTERSECTION IS A MONTH AHEAD OF SCHEDULE BUT THE SIDEWALK IS A

MONTH BEHIND OR SO? >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> OKAY. >> INNOVATION AT LIMMER.

THIS PROJECT, WE COMPLETED THE FLASH MODE FOR THIS PROJECT MARCH 31ST. WE CAME BACK A WEEK LATER ON THE 7TH OF APRIL AND THE PROJECT IS FULLY ACTIVATED WITH BOTH LIMMER AND INNOVATION RED YELLOW-GREEN.

WE ARE JUST PENDING PUNCH LIST AND CLOSE OUT AND THEN WE WILL COME BACK WITH ACCEPTANCE OF THIS PROJECT.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXCITED TO SEE THAT.

>> WE ARE EXCITED SPEAK I -- >> YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY EXCITED NOT TO BE FOLLOWING UP ON IT EVERY WEEK.

>> WE ARE GRATEFUL. FOR EXCHANGE BOULEVARD, THIS PROJECT, WE CAME TO YOU IN JANUARY WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL FOR THE DESIGN AND THIS PROJECT IS ONE THAT WE ARE ANTICIPATING BIDDING THIS QUARTER. THE PLANS ARE 100% COMPLETE.

THEY HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY TEAM FOR REVIEW AND COM COMMENT. RESPONSES.

CURRENTLY THE RESPONSE TIME IS ANTICIPATED AS WE ARE PENDING APPROVAL OF THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

WE DO STILL HAVE ACQUISITION FOR ONE REMAINING PARCEL OR HAVE WE -- WE HAVE ACQUIRED ONE PARCEL, WE HAVE FOUR PARCELS WE STILL NEED TO NEGOTIATE. WE HAVE UTILITY RELOCATION AND THEN WE CAN GO TO BIDDING. NOW, THE RIGHT-OF-WAY COORDINATOR, SHE HAS COMMUNICATED THAT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, IF WE CAN GET THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUIRED AND THE UTILITY RELOCATIONS AT A TIME THAT WE COULD BID EARLY IN THIS QUARTER, WE WILL DO THAT AND BY THE TIME THE RELOCATIONS ARE CLEARED, THEN WHEN WE AWARD THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, THEN THE CONTRACTOR CAN IMMEDIATELY ST START.

BUT WE ARE STILL TRYING TO ALIGN ALL OF THOSE ITEMS TOGETHER.

MAIN HIPPO AND FM 1660. FOR THIS PROJECT, YOU ALL HAVE AN UPDATE. SO THE ISD DID RECEIVE APPROVAL BY THE TEAM FOR THEM TO INSTALL A SIGNAL INSTEAD OF A ROUNDABOUT. THE TIA WE DID RECEIVE IN COORDINATION. THE CITY, WE WILL ENTERTAIN AND LOCAL AGREEMENT FOR THEM SO THAT THE CITY TEAM WILL HAVE -- SHARE RIGHTS TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS BEFORE THEY GET THOSE PLANS FOR CONSTRUCTION.

[00:15:01]

>> CAN WE GO BACK TO THE LAST PROJECT? HAVE WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE HFD IN TERMS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE INTERSECTION SOUTH OF THEIR STATION.

>> THE FIRE...I'M NOT SURE. >> THIS IS THE ROUNDABOUT,

RIGHT? >> THE ROUNDABOUT AT THE

INTERSECTION. >> THAT IS RIGHT SOUTH OF THEM AND I THINK THAT OUGHT TO BE SOMETHING AGAIN, THAT WILL BLOW UP BECAUSE I'VE HAD -- I'VE BEEN CHEWED OUT MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT BUT THAT'S ANOTHER ONE. IF YOU GUYS CAN COORDINATE WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, ENSURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE GETTING READY TO DO AND THEN IF YOU CAN COPY THE WHOLE COUNCIL IN ON THAT AND MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL ON SO THAT THE FIRST CALL THAT GOES OUT, AT LEAST -- I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GUYS FEEL BUT

I DON'T WANT TO GET CHEWED OUT. >> I THINK THAT WOULD BE

IMPORTANT. >> AND MAKE SURE, LIKE, I MEAN I'M IMAGINING THE ROUNDABOUT IS BIG ENOUGH TO HAVE A FIRE TRUCK

CIRCUMVENTED BUT -- >> SO WE DID HAVE THEM TO THE TURNING TEMPLATE FOR A FIRE TRUCK.

>> AT LEAST IF THEY GOT SOME INPUT SO THAT THEY FEEL INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS. RIGHT NOW TO GO HEADS UP DID YOU KNOW WE ARE PUTTING A ROUNDABOUT IN? AT LEAST A LITTLE KID CAUGHT OFF GUARD AND THEN WE GET TORE

UP OVER THAT ONE. >> OKAY.

[INDISTINCT] >> COUNTY ROAD 163.

THE PROJECT IS ACTUALLY 90% COMPLETE.

NOT 60. THAT IS AN UPDATE.

THE CONSULTANT IS PENDING TO COMPLETE THE DESIGN IN SUMMER OF 26. FOR COUNTY ROAD 163, THIS BUDGET YEAR, THE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING IS NOT AVAILABLE SO THE GOAL IS JUST TO COMPLETE THE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND ESTIMATE.

THE HOLD THAT WAS REPORTED IN JANUARY FOR THIS PROJECT WAS -- THIS PROJECT IS PENDING A SUPPLEMENTAL.

THERE ARE VARIOUS COMPONENTS THAT THE CITY TEAM AND THE CONSULTANT ARE STILL NEGOTIATING IN TERMS OF WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AND WHATNOT ON THIS PROJECT.

THERE IS REDESIGN, RECONSTRUCTION, SURVEY, DETENTION POND DESIGN, SOME ADDED APPRAISALS POSSIBLY AND TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATION INSPECTIONS.

SO AS WE ARE NEGOTIATING WITH THE CONSULTANT, WE WILL ANTICIPATE A SUPPLEMENTAL ON THIS PROJECT.

>> PATRICIA, THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE HAD PUBLIC COMMENT LAST MEETING -- HE THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT ROAD BUT THIS IS THE ROAD, HE GOES TO THE CEMETERY.

SO THE RED LINE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT DOES REACH ALL THE WAY TO THE CEMETERY, IS THAT IN THE DESIGN TO REDO THAT?

>> THAT WAS THE INITIAL -- WHEN THE CIP WAS FIRST PROPOSED IN 24, AND THE LIMITS WERE REFINED AND WE WILL UPDATE THE MAP.

IT WILL NOT GO TO THE CEMETERY. >> WHY WAS IT CHANGED?

>> THE LIMITS OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND ADDITIONAL COORDINATION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED WITH THC AND THE

-- >> BECAUSE IT GOES ONTO PRIVATE LAND OR WHAT WAS THE REASON IT WAS REMOVED?

>> IT DOES GO ON PRIVATE LAND BUT IT WAS JUST DECIDED TO TERMINATE PRIOR TO THAT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT CONNECTING INTO ANY

OTHER ROAD. >> OKAY.

>> SO FOR COUNTY ROAD 199, FOR THIS PROJECT YOU ALL APPROVED A SUPPLEMENTAL FOR THIS PROJECT IN JANUARY.

90% COMPLETE. THE CONSULTANT TEAM, THEY ARE COORDINATING WITH TEXT DATA AND UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD ON THE COORDINATION AT THE INTERSECTION WITH COUNTY ROAD 199 AND 79.

THAT IS MOVING FORWARD. THEY ARE ANTICIPATING WHILE THEY ARE COMPLETING THE 100% PS AND E, IS TO COMPLETE THAT AND THEN CONTINUE WITH THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS AND THE UTILITY

[00:20:01]

PROJECT. >> PATRICIA, ON THAT, IF WE START CONSTRUCTION OF THE 1660 SOUTH AND 79 IN Q1 OF 27, AND WE START THIS ONE THE SAME TIME, HOW WILL THAT NEIGHBORHOOD -- WILL IT JUST BE A BIG CONSTRUCTION OR HOW DO WE ANTICIPATE THOSE PEOPLE GETTING OUT? TO BE ABLE TO, LIKE, LEAVE THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS?

>> WE WILL HAVE TO DO COORDINATION ON THE TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS FOR BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS.

>> BECAUSE MATT HAD A PLAN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE FIVE PEOPLE BECAUSE IT WOULD GO DOWN TO ONE LANE SO THE QUESTION I HAD THEN ARE THEY GOING TO DO THAT 24 HOURS A DAY? HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO GET BACK TO US.

>> AND HE HASN'T, RIGHT? [LAUGHTER]

>> I THINK HE STUCK IT WITH YOU. BUT PART OF ME THINKS THAT IF COORDINATION WITH TXDOT COULD BE HAD FOR THE TEMPORARY SIGNALS AT 132 AND 79, THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH -- WE HAVE NINE MONTHS AND POTENTIALLY THAT MIGHT BE A BIG WAY.

BECAUSE I REMEMBER SEEING HERE THAT THEY ARE RACING UP TO 1660 SOUTH AND PUTTING RETAINING WALLS AND I'M THINKING HOW DO YOU DO ALL OF THAT AND HAVE ONE OF OUR BUSIEST INTERSECTIONS OPERATE? IT'S ALREADY BACKED UP.

TO ME THAT WILL MAKE MORE PEOPLE GO TO 132.

IF WE GET IT SIGNALIZED MAYBE WHEN THEY GO THERE IT WILL BE -- IT WOULD BE SAFE. I DON'T KNOW IF TXDOT WAS LOOKING AT DOING TRAILER SIGNALS OR WHAT BUT I KNOW THERE WAS

TALK OF A TEMPORARY -- >> THE SIGNAL FURTHER EAST?

>> AT 132 AND 79. SOMETIMES THEY PUT ALMOST LIKE GAS POWERED TRAILER SIGNALS ON, IF THEY ARE LOOKING AT DOING

THAT, IF THEY WERE -- >> OKAY, WE WILL TRY TO COORDINATE THAT. AGAIN, THIS ONE IS JUST IN DESIGN AND WE ARE ANTICIPATING TO COMPLETE THE DESIGN THIS FISCAL YEAR. ALLIANCE BOULEVARD.

THIS PROJECT, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE ON THE SLIDE.

WE ANTICIPATE AGAIN THERE'S NOT CONSTRUCTION FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE TBD.

AND THE PROJECT IS ACTUALLY 95% COMPLETE.

AND WITH THE ALLIANCE PROJECT, THE DESIGN, AS THE CONSULTANT GOT INTO DESIGN ON THIS PROJECT, THERE IS MORE -- THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE 79 ONTO ALLIANCE, IN ADDITION TXDOT APPROVED FOR ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS TO INSTALL A LEFT TURN LANE EASTBOUND ONTO ALLIANCE.

THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL RIGHT TURN LANE FROM 79 WESTBOUND ONTO ALLIANCE THAT ADDED MORE TRAFFIC THAT WAS NOT ANTICIPATED WHEN WE SCOPED THE PROJECT. THAT TXDOT APPROVED DEVELOPER WAS NOT KNOWN, THEY DID NOT COORDINATE WITH US.

SO THERE'S A LOT MORE TRAFFIC TO HANDLE IN ADDITION WITH THE ADDED LANES. THE CROSS-SECTION AS YOU COME OFF OF 79 WOULD HAVE TO BE WIDENED A LITTLE BIT.

TO CARRY THAT TRAFFIC FURTHER NORTH, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD SOME DECELERATION LANES TO THE DRIVEWAYS NORTHBOUND ON ALLIANCE. SO AS A CITY TEAM, WE ARE STILL COORDINATING WITH THE CONSULTANT ON THE ADDITIONAL ADDED COMPONENTS FOR THIS PROJECT AND WE WILL COME BACK WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL ON THIS ONE. INNOVATION BOULEVARD.

AGAIN, WE PLACED THIS PROJECT ON HOLD DUE TO STAFFING SHIFTS AT THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY. SH130 PROJECT.

MAKE SURE I'M STAYING ON TRACK. THE PROJECT IS STILL IN PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING, PRELIMINARY SCHEMATICS WITH THE CENTRAL TEXAS TOLL SYSTEM, TXDOT, AND THE GEORGETOWN AREA OFFICE THAT WE ARE COORDINATING WITH ON THE DESIGN.

THE CONSULTANT IS PENDING A SUBMITTAL TO TXDOT TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK ON THE PROPOSED ALIGNMENT AND IF THERE ARE ANY EXPECTATIONS OR WE DISCUSSED WHEN WE WERE SCOPING THIS

[00:25:04]

FEEDBACK JUST YET. >> TXDOT DETERMINES THE CENTRAL

GOAL AUTHORITY. >> IT WILL BE A COMBINATION OF THE TWO. GENERALLY WHAT TXDOT DOES IS THEY HOST AN ALL-HANDS-ON-DECK MEETING AND ALL OF THEIR PARTIES, INCLUDING THE CTT S, THEY JOIN IN ON A COMMENT REVIEW MEETING WITH THE CONSULTANT AND WE USUALLY PARTICIPATE AND RECEIVE THE FEEDBACK. SO FOR COUNTY ROAD 132, THERE WERE SOME ADJUSTMENTS ON THIS SLIDE.

SO THIS PROJECT, AGAIN, IT WILL NOT BE MOVING FORWARD FOR CONSTRUCTION. WE WILL JUST COMPLETE DESIGN THIS FISCAL YEAR. THE PROJECT IS 90% COMPLETE.

WE HAVE OBTAINED TWO PARCELS OUT OF FOUR.

WE STILL NEED TO NEGOTIATE TWO LAND PARCELS AND COMPLETE THE DESIGNED BY THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.

>> IS THIS BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH STAFF TO DO ALL THE PROJECTS OR WHAT'S THE REASON THIS ONE WAS --

>> COUNTY ROAD 132, THERE WERE NO CONSTRUCTION DOLLARS FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR AS WELL. WE HAD ANTICIPATED WHEN WE CAME TO YOU ALL FOR THE AWARD OF THE DESIGN CONTRACT, BUT THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH FUNDING. IT WILL BE ON THIS YEAR'S FIVE YEAR CIP. LIMMER LOOP HAS TWO SEGMENTS.

I WILL PRESENT THE FIRST THAT IS BY THE JMT CONSULTANT AND THE SECOND SEGMENT WILL BE THE NEXT SLIDE, WSB.

FOR LIMMER LOOP, THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT HAD TWO DELIVERABLE COMPONENTS AND THIS SLIDE WILL HAVE ADJUSTMENTS.

THE PROJECT IS 90% COMPLETE ON THE FIRST COMPONENT THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS PROJECT WAS TO DEVELOP A SCHEMATIC LAYOUT FOR THIS PROJECT WITH A FOOTPRINT OF A SIX LANE ARTERIAL ROADWAY.

THAT WAS THE FIRST COMPONENT. AND THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO PURCHASE OR SET THE FOOTPRINT FOR THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND START RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS SO THAT WE COULD COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION AT A LATER DATE BUT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WOULD ALREADY BE CLEARED AND UTILITY COORDINATION.

THE SECOND COMPONENT THAT WAS A PART OF THIS SCOPE OF THE PROJECT WAS FOR JMT TO PROVIDE AN INTERIM IMPROVEMENT CONSTRUCTION -- FOR THE PROJECT AND THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS ALONG LIMMER LOOP.

THIS AND THE NEXT PROJECT, THE CONSULTANT CAME AND WE PRESENTED -- GOD BLESS YOU. THE CONSULTANT CAME AND PRESENTED THE SCHEMATIC IN OCTOBER OF 25.

DURING THAT PRESENTATION, CITY COUNCIL HAD TWO COMPONENTS.

A POLICY THAT ROUNDABOUTS WOULD BE A POLICY AND WE WOULD PERFORM AN ANALYSIS ON PROJECTS AS WELL AS THE CONSULTANT HAD TO GO BACK AND UPDATE ACCORDINGLY. THE ICE ANALYSIS HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED. THAT IS A INCREASED SCOPE COMPONENT THAT HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED IN THE NEGOTIATION.

THAT WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD, WE ARE ANTICIPATING, MAY AND THE CONSULTANT IS PROVIDING THE SCOPE AND WILL COME BACK WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL AND A SCHEDULE CHANGE ON THE DELIVERABLE.

WITH THIS PROJECT, ALSO IT HAS RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS FOR THE SIX LANE PUT -- FOOTPRINT. IF THE ICE ANALYSIS COMES BACK, SOME OF THOSE SEGMENTS THEY CAN NARROW DOWN TO FOUR-LANE TO MITIGATE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS OR INCOORDINATION OF THE DEVELOPMENTS WE ALREADY HAVE APPROVED PLANS, CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS OR PRELIMINARY PLANS ON, THEN WE WILL COORDINATE ACCORDINGLY AND MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.

>> YOU SAID THERE'S A ROUN ROUNDABOUT?

>> NO, COUNCIL HAS REQUESTED THAT WE ANALYSE ROUNDABOUTS AT THE INTERSECTIONS TO SEE IF THAT IS A VIABLE OPTION INSTEAD OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND SO THAT ICE ANALYSIS IS AN INTERSECTION

[00:30:03]

THEN THEY WILL GIVE US THEIR RECOMMENDATION.

AND SO FOR THAT FIRST COMPONENT, WHICH WAS 90% COMPLETE, THEY WILL MAKE THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE SKY MADDICK, SET THE FOOTPRINT AND THEN WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE COORDINATION FOR THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS ON THE PROJECT.

>> IF I REMEMBER, ONE OF THE REASONS OF POSSIBLY GOING ROUNDABOUTS IS BECAUSE WE WOULD MAYBE GET AWAY WITH FOUR LANES

INSTEAD OF SIX. >> THAT'S A POSSIBILITY.

>> THAT WAS A POSSIBILITY. OKAY.

[INDISTINCT] THAT TOO.

[LAUGHTER] >> SO T848 THIS IS A SECOND SEGMENT ALONG LIMMER WEST OF THE INNOVATION INTERSECTION.

THIS IS DESIGNED BY WSB AND WSB DID THE SAME THING, THEY CAME TO CITY COUNCIL IN OCTOBER. THEY DID A JOINT PRESENTATION WITH JMT. THE SIX LANE FOOTPRINT SCHEMATIC WAS A FIRST COMPONENT AND THE DELIVERABLE OF PS AND E IS THE SECOND COMPONENT. THIS ONE ALSO HAS THE ICE ANALYSIS PENDING NEGOTIATIONS OF A SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT.

WE WILL COME BACK WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL.

THIS PROJECT WILL HAVE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS AND UTILITY COORDINATION AS WELL. CARL STERN AND CHRIS KELLEY.

WE HAVE RECEIVED THE HUTTO TIA AND COORDINATED THE DIET -- DESIGN CONSULTANT HAS THAT INFORMATION.

THE 30% AND 60% DESIGNS, THEY WILL SUBMIT BOTH OF THOSE AT THE SAME TIME. THE 60% IS STILL ON TRACK TO BE DELIVERED AND THE PROJECT IS MOVING FORWARD.

WE ARE COORDINATING WITH IST ON THE PROJECT AS WELL.

THE LIVE OAK INTERSECTION PROJECT, IT HAS ON HOLD HERE.

THIS PROJECT IS STILL PENDING THE AGREEMENT AND PATH FORWARD FOR THE DEVELOPER OR CONSULTANT THAT WOULD MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD. MOVING TO OUR WATER PROJECTS.

I'M GOING TO SAY YAY TO THIS PROJECT.

FINALLY WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.

AND WITH SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT, WE WERE ABLE TO BRING ON OUR NEW WATER SOURCE. WE DO HAVE OUR NEW WATER SOURCE AND I WILL HAVE A SLIDE ON -- RELATED TO THAT WITH THE WATER STUDY. SO THE CONTRACTOR IS STILL WORKING ON THE PUNCH LIST ITEMS TO DO THE FINAL COMPLETION WHICH IS THE COMMISSIONING AND START-UP AND ALL OF THE TESTING OF THE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS TO MAKE SURE AND DO THE PUNCH LIST, RECEIVED CLOSEOUT DOCUMENTS AND WE WILL COME FORWARD WITH EXCEPTIONS ON THIS PROJECT.

>> IF IT IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE, WHY DOES IT SHOW Q3 AS THE DATE? INSTEAD OF CUTE TWO?

>> THE Q3 FOR THE LARGE CAP CAPACITY, IT HAD MULTIPLE WATER TRANSMISSION MAINS AND STORAGE TANKS ON THIS ONE.

THE TIME FRAME BETWEEN SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION WHEN THE CITY HAS THE ABILITY TO USE AND OPERATE THE FACILITY, THIS ONE HAD A 90 DAY FINAL COMPLETION IN ORDER THAT THEY CAN GET ALL OF THE MANUALS AND ALL OF THOSE COMPONENTS TOGETHER FOR THIS PROJECT. SO THERE'S A 90 DAY INSTEAD OF A

30 DAY. >> OKAY.

>> THIS IS COMPLETION IN 25. >> SHOULD SAY 26.

>> I SHOULD HAVE PUT TWO ITEMS ON THERE BECAUSE YES, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED IN CALENDAR YEAR 25 BUT IT'S CALENDAR YEAR 26 QUARTER THREE. WE WILL MAKE THAT UPDATE.

>> SO IT IS A YEAR BEHIND. >> YES.

SO -- WELL WE STILL HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CONTRACTOR

[00:35:04]

COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT. >> DARE I ASK, IF THIS IS A YEAR BEHIND, ARE THEY IN DEFAULT ON THEIR TIMELINE? HAVE WE GIVEN THEM NOTICE AND ALL THOSE PARTICULAR THINGS TO

WHERE THEY ARE -- >> THEY HAVE BEEN ISSUED NOTICE AND THEY HAVE -- SO THIS PROJECT HAS HAD MULTIPLE COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION OF OTHER CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT THE DAYS THAT HAVE CONFLICTED OR INTERFERED WITH COMPONENTS ON THIS ONE, THE CHANGE ORDER HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD.

SO ONCE WE HAVE THAT CHANGE ORDER, THEN WE CAN DETERMINE WHAT NUMBER OF DAYS THAT THIS PROJECT WAS OUT OF.

THE COMPLETION DATE, SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE.

>> YOU GUYS HAVE GIVEN NOTICE THAT THEY ARE IN DEFAULT OF THEIR CONTRACT? I IMAGINE A YEAR AGO?

>> THE NOTICE WAS GIVEN IN 2025, YES.

>> OKAY. ACTUALLY THERE WERE MULTIPLE

LETTERS. >> SO WE ARE NOT USING THAT GUY

AGAIN. >> FOR THAT PROJECT, WE DID MULTIPLE LETTERS FOR THAT SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND WE ALSO PROVIDED NOTICE WHEN WE NEEDED TO BRING OUR NEW WATER SOURCE ONLINE. AND I THINK THAT GAVE THEM THE PUSH THEY NEEDED TO COMPLETE. 1660 -- FM 1660.

THIS PROJECT IS A DEVELOPER COMPONENT AND I DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE FROM THE CONTRACTOR ON A TIME FRAME WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO BE COMPLETE. SO JUST COORDINATING WITH THEM.

IT'S THEIR SCHEDULING. SO FOR THE ELEVATED STORAGE T TANK, THIS HAS TWO COMPONENTS. THIS PROJECT HAS AN ELEVATED STORAGE TANK AS WELL AS A WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN FOR THE PROJECT. THIS ONE HAS AN UPDATE ON THE SLIDES. THE TWO COMPONENTS, THE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK IS THE COMPONENT THAT WILL BE BID FIRST.

IT DOES HAVE A LONGER SCHEDULE FOR THE PROJECT TO KEEP -- BE COMPLETED DURING CONSTRUCTION AND THE WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN IS NECESSARY, WHICH IS THE SECOND COMPONENT, TO DELIVER THE WATER FOR THE TANK. IT WILL BE BID AS A SECOND COMPONENT. SO BOTH PROJECTS, THE 100% PLANS ARE COMPLETE FOR THE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK.

THE PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. WE HAVE UNTIL APRIL 27TH TO PROVIDE THE COMMENTS TO GET THE PERMIT SET.

AS WELL, THIS PROJECT, ONCE WE HAVE RECEIVED THOSE COMMENTS AND ALL THINGS ARE CLEAR, THEN WE ANTICIPATE PUTTING THIS PROJECT OUT FOR BID THIS QUARTER. ON THE WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN, WE HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED COMMENTS BACK TO THE CONSULTANT.

THEY ARE WORKING ON MAKING UPDATES TO THOSE COMMENTS AND THAT PROJECT WOULD BE BID EARLY IN THIS QUARTER, WHICH IS QUARTER TWO. OR IN QUARTER THREE, IS WHAT WE

ARE TARGETING. >> CAN YOU BACKUP?

>> I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE --

>> COMPLETION YEAR 26... [INDISTINCT]

>> I BELIEVE, SO WE HAD A COLLABORATION OF PEOPLE WORKING ON THIS. I BELIEVE THAT IS THE DESIGN OF THE PLANS. THAT COULD BE THAT -- SO THAT'S THE DESIGN PLANS TO BE COMPLETE WITH THEM.

>> TWO MONTHS. >> WELL IN TERMS OF THE BIDDING.

SO THE BIDDING NEEDS TO START -- YOU SEE THE ELEVATED TANK, THE BIDDING NEEDS TO START THIS QUARTER, CALENDAR YEAR 26 QUARTER TWO. BULLET THREE AT THE BOTTOM, ANTICIPATED. IN THE WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN SHOULD BE BID IN CALENDAR YEAR 26 QUARTER THREE.

[00:40:08]

>> 26, RIGHT, NOT 27? >> THE COMPLETION OF THE CONSTRUCTION IS TO BE COMPLETE CALENDAR YEAR 27 QUARTER THREE.

AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN, CALENDAR YEAR 26, ORDER FOUR. SO THE FISCAL YEAR IS OCTOBER TO SEPTEMBER BUT WHEN WE ARE REPORTING ON THE CAPITAL PROJECTS, WE USE THE CALENDAR YEAR, JANUARY TO DECEMBER.

[INDISTINCT] AT THIS BOTTOM PORTION, THE CONSTRUCTION IS THE COMPLETION DATES TIMELINES.

IT SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION BUT.

WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP IT ALL EVEN AS WELL.

>> I THINK THE CONFUSING PART IS -- DATES, NOT THE FULL PROJECT COMPLETE.

>> CORRECT. >> I THINK IF YOU COULD MAYBE JUST CLARIFY THAT, LIKE, WHAT COMPLETION DATE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, IS THAT THE PROJECT COMPLETION, IS THAT THE STAGE COMPLETION. I THINK THAT WOULD HELP US BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING AT THESE DATES WONDERING WHAT THEY MEAN.

>> YEAH, SO YOU SEE SOME OF THE PREVIOUS SLIDES, IT SHOULD SAY CONSTRUCTION START, CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION ON THEM.

WE WILL MAKE THAT UPDATE. SO THIS IRON TESTING PROJECT, THIS ONE IS A COMBINATION OF A STUDY AND ACTION PLAN.

SO THE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM, THEY HAVE ALREADY INITIATED AND COMPLETED THE SAMPLING. AND THE DISTRIBUTION LOCATIONS.

WHEN WE BROUGHT ON THE NEW WATER SOURCE, AGAIN, THIS IS AN UPDATE THAT IS ON YOUR SLIDE, WHEN WE BROUGHT ON THE WATER SOURCE, NEW WATER SOURCE, WE DID TESTING AGAIN.

AS WELL WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE THE TESTING AND DO THOSE LEVELS.

WE DO BEFORE AND AFTER SO WE HAVE RESULTS FOR BEFORE THE NEW WATER SOURCE WAS BROUGHT ON BOARD AND THE AFTER AND THEN WE ARE ALSO TARGETING THAT THERE WILL BE IN A VALUATION OF THE SYSTEM AND THE OPERATION THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM IS TARGETING JUNE OF 26 TO COMPLETE THAT STUDY.

>> HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN ANYTHING ON THIS TESTING, LIKE, STILL SOME PEOPLE SAY MY HOUSE ALWAYS HAS RUNNING WATER BUT THEN SOME LIVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND DON'T EVER GET IT.

SO WE FIGURED OUT WHY I NEVER SEEM TO GET IT BUT A NEIGHBOR DOES. IS IT REALLY BROWN LIKE THE ONE ON THE RIGHT OR DISCOLORED AND MAYBE I HAVE POOR TASTE AND I KNOW MY EYES ARE BAD. [INDISTINCT] NO. WE HAVE A WATER SOFTENER.

>> I DON'T THINK I'VE INTRODUCED MYSELF.

[INDISTINCT] [LAUGHTER] FIRST BOUGHT ISSUES LIKE THAT, WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE IT REPORTED SO WE CAN GO AND SPECIFICALLY INVESTIGATE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT TESTING EVERY ADD ADDRESS, WE ARE TESTING LEGS OF LINES AND THAT SORT OF STUFF. I WILL SAY THAT I DO THINK THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL AWARENESS ABOUT HIGH -- HOW IRON WORKS IN THE WATER. HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I MEAN. I PULL OUT A WATER FILTER AND IT'S BROWN. IN MY MIND AS A CONSUMER, THAT MEANS BROWN WATER HAS BEEN FLOWING THROUGH MY FILTER, MY FILTER HAS BEEN PUTTING GROUNDWATER OUT.

BUT IN REALITY, PERFECTLY CLEAR WATER COULD HAVE BEEN FLOWING THROUGH THE FILTER AND THE FILTER DROPPED THE IRON AND THE IRON SITS THERE FOR A FEW DAYS AND IT OXIDIZES AND TURNS BROWN.

SO IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE A VERY BROWN WATER FILTER AND NOT EVEN HAVE BROWN WATER FLOWING.

THAT'S VERY POSSIBLE. THE SECOND THING THAT'S VERY POSSIBLE IS IF YOU HAVE A BIG HOT WATER HEATER AND THE WATER IS SITTING IN THE HOT WATER HEATER AND YOU ARE NOT USING A LOT OF HOT WATER, MAYBE YOU ARE OUT AND ABOUT DOING OTHER THINGS, YOU DON'T RUN HOT WATER WITH YOUR LAUNDRY AND YOU DRAW OFF A HOT BATH, THE WATER HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE TANK.

AFTER THAT IRON SITS THERE FOR A FEW DAYS IT STARTS TO OXIDIZE AND THEREFORE IT TURNS BROWN. SO TURN ON YOUR BATHTUB AND HAVE BROWN WATER EVEN THOUGH THE WATER FLOWING IN IS CLEAR.

[00:45:01]

THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE SEDIMENTATION THAT'S STIRRED UP WHEN THAT HAPPENS. SO THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SAY IF YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE YOUR WATER IS CLEAR, YOUR NEIGHBORS IS NOT. IT COULD BE OTHER CONTRIBUTE AND FACTORS THAT ARE CAUSING THAT IRON TO MANIFEST.

THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY FIX IT IS TO TAKE THE IRON MANGANESE OUT OF THE WATER BEFORE IT GETS INTO THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

BUT THAT'S A COUPLE THINGS THAT COULD EXPLAIN THAT.

>> YOU WANT PEOPLE TO PUT THIS ON KING SOLVE IT.

>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE A HEAT MAP SO THERE'S A WAY TO SAY MY NEIGHBOR HAS IT BUT I NEVER

HAVE? >> SEEMS TO BE A GOOD SOLUTION

FOR DOING REPORTS. >> THAT'S AN INTERESTING CONCEPT BECAUSE IF THERE'S -- I DON'T KNOW HOW THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM WILL COMMUNICATE TO PEOPLE THAT YOU JUST DON'T USE YOUR WATER AND OFTEN THAT'S WHY IT'S BROWN. [LAUGHTER] THAT'S HOW IT'S GOING TO COME ACROSS.

SO THEN IF YOU DO HAVE A HEAT MAP, IT MAY HELP TO SAY FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY CAN SAY WHY IS IT THIS ONE STREET IS CONSTANTLY GETTING CALLS. IT CAN'T ALL BE THAT THEY WEREN'T USING THEIR WATER FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

OR IF YOU HAVE ONE PERSON IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, MAYBE IT IS, LIKE, EDUCATION THERE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, I'VE ONLY HAD BROWN WATER ONCE IN LIKE NINE YEARS BUT I SWEAR, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. WHEN THE NEW PUMP CAME ONLINE, THAT WAS LIKE A CITYWIDE -- AT LEAST IN THE HUTTO CCN, ISSUE.

THAT STIRRED UP EVERYTHING. I DON'T KNOW HOW HARD IT IS --

>> IT REQUIRES THEM TO REPORT. THE GUYS BEHIND THE TEAM CAN TAKE THAT DATA AND CREATE A HEAT MAP.

>> I KNOW THERE ARE SOME THINGS, WE WERE AT A MEETING AND IT WAS WITH WASTEWATER AND OUT OF THE BLUE THERE'S A COMPLAINT ABOUT A WASTEWATER ISSUE IN DOWNTOWN AND I'M LIKE I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD THAT BEFORE. I SAID JAMES, DID YOU TURN THAT IN? THEY JUST LOOK AT YOU.

I'M LIKE HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF THERE'S AN ISSUE UNLESS YOU EITHER CALL, EMAIL OR HUTTO SOLVER BECAUSE OTHERWISE, FLUSHING YOUR TOILET AND SEEING HOW IT GOES, WE HAVE NO WAY OF GROWING. I THINK THERE'S SOME KIND OF COMMUNICATION, ALSO MAYBE AWAY FOR A HEAT MAP.

>> ANY COOL VIDEOS FOR HUTTO -- [LAUGHTER]

>> LIKE THE SHEA CAMERA DOWN THE LINE.

>> FLUSHER HOT WATER HEATER. THE SEDIMENTATION WILL SETTLE IN YOUR HOT WATER HEATER. GET THE SLUDGE OUT.

>> NOW WE ARE MOVING TO WASTEWATER WITH THE SLUDGE.

[LAUGHTER] OKAY, SO THIS WASTEWATER 01 PROJECT IS FIVE PROJECTS IN ONE. SO THE GLENWOOD STATION HAS ALSO -- YOU HAVE THE LIFT STATION, YOU HAVE THE INTERCEPTOR WASTEWATER LINE AND YOU HAVE TWO WASTEWATER...ADDITIONAL LIFT STATIONS. TO THIS PROJECT.

SO THE GLENWOOD LIFT STATION AND INTERCEPTOR, WE DO HAVE -- I WILL PRESENT MORE ON THAT PROJECT LATER.

THAT PROJECT IS BEHIND SCHEDULE. THE CENTRAL LIFT STATION, WHICH IS A CENTRAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT LIFT STATION, THAT PROJECT IS STILL ON TARGET. THE SOUTH LIFT STATION PROJECT CONSTRUCTION ALSO IS ON TARGET. OR STILL TRACKING FOR THE COMPLETION IN CALENDAR YEAR 26 QUARTER THREE.

THE SOUTH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT, THIS PROJECT IS IN CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS THE ONE WHERE WE HAVE A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK. THE PROJECT IS STILL ON TARGET FOR DELIVERY OF THE PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

[00:50:01]

IT IS STILL ON TARGET TO DELIVER BY CALENDAR YEAR 26 ORDER FOUR AND THE CONTRACTOR IS STILL PROGRESSING.

THE BRUSHY CREEK WASTEWATER INTERCEPTOR PHASE FOUR, THIS PROJECT IS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT AND EDC COLLABORATIVE, THE PROJECT UPDATE ON THIS ONE AT THE TIME OF THE UPDATE, THIS ONE SHOULD -- THIS UPDATE, THE PROJECT CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN AWARDED. THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IS WITH EDC, THE CONTRACT IS BETWEEN EDC AND THE CONTRACTOR.

THE PROJECT CONSTRUCTION HAS STARTED.

THERE ARE 16 TOTAL RIGHT-OF-WAY PARCELS ON THIS PROJECT.

NINE LAND PARCELS ARE STILL IN NEGOTIATIONS.

THE PROJECT HAS AN INTERMEDIATE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AS WELL AS A SUBSTANTIAL AND A FINAL COMPLETION.

WE ARE STILL PROGRESSING AND MOVING FORWARD WITH THE LAND PARCELS AND THE ACQUISITIONS. THE CONTRACTOR IS ABLE TO PROGRESS ON WORK AROUND THE NINE PARCELS.

AND SO DULY NOTED ON THIS PROJECT, ADDING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, WE DID ACQUIRE SEVEN OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY PARCELS. AVERY LAKE INTERCEPTOR PHASE O ONE. THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE.

THE CITY HAS PROVIDED REVIEW RESPONSES TO THE CONSULTANT.

THE DESIGN REVISION UPDATES, THE CONSULTANTS ARE WORKING ON THOSE REVISIONS. THEY WILL RESUBMIT AND THEN WE WILL MOVE TO ROUND TWO OF CITY RESPONSES AS WELL AS COORDINATE AND COLLABORATE, WE WILL COORDINATE THE DESIGN CONSULTANT IS COMPLETING THE PLANS SPECIFICATION ESTIMATE AND THEY WILL HAND THAT PROJECT OVER THE PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO AND THE CITY TEAM WILL TAKE THAT AND WE WILL BID THAT PROJECT OUT.

BY THE CITY STAFF. AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE WILL BE LED BY THE CITY TEAM. IRONWOOD WASTEWATER LINE.

THIS PROJECT IS A COST PARTICIPATION AND THE PROJECT IS IN CONSTRUCTION. THE CENTRAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT BYPASS. PROJECT.

WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR APPROVAL AND THE BYPASS DESIGN IS 60% COMPLETE. PENDING THE RESULTS FROM THE TCE CUTE, WE CAN DETERMINE WHAT THE FINAL DESIGN, THIS PROJECT ALSO WE HAVE RECEIVED WORD THIS WEEK THAT THE TAXES HISTORIC COMMISSION HAS REQUIRED THEM TO DO ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIVE STUDIES SO WE ARE ANTICIPATING THAT THE CONSULTANT WILL NEED A SUPPLEMENTAL FOR THE INCREASED SCOPE OF WORK ON THAT.

>> CONSULTANTS DON'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT US.

>> THEY WILL NOT. [LAUGHTER] THEY HAVE TO GET PAID FOR THEIR TIME.

>> A CMR FOR CONSULTING SERVICES.

>> THAT'S AN IDEA. SO THE AVERY LAKE PHASE TWO IS THE SAME AS AVERY LAKE PHASE ONE.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY MOVE THESE TWO SLIDES TOGETHER BUT I THINK WE WERE GOING BY NUMBERS. THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE.

WE HAVE PROVIDED REVIEWS RESPONSE COMMENTS.

THE CONSULTANT IS WORKING ON THE REVISIONS TO RESUBMIT AND THEN WE WILL WORK ON ROUND TWO OF THE RESPONSE COMMENTS AND THEN AGAIN WE WILL COORDINATE A BID SCHEDULE, THE CITY TEAM WILL TAKE US OVER AND BID THIS PROJECT.

>> ARE THEY BUILDING IT AND WE ARE PAYING THEM BACK?

>> FOR THE AVERY? >> WHO IS INSTALLING ALL OF

THAT? >> THE CITY TEAM WILL TAKE LEAD

FOR CONSTRUCTION. >> THE HANDLE THE DESIGN?

[00:55:03]

>> THE HANDLE THE DESIGN. FOR THE COUNTY ROAD 132 AND U.S.

79, THE PROJECT IS ABOUT 90% COMPLETE WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND THEIR PROGRESSION WITH THIS PROJECT AND WE ARE COLLABORATING WITH THE DEVELOPER ON THIS ONE. NOW WE ARE MOVING TO THE PARKS PROJECTS. THE FRITZ PARKS IMPROVEMENTS.

FOR THIS PROJECT, CONSTRUCTION IS ABOUT 90% COMPLETE.

WE CAME TO YOU ALL WITH A REQUEST FOR A CHANGE ORDER FOR THE LAST TWO REMAINING COMPONENTS OF THIS.

WE HAVE HAD SOME WEATHER IMPACTS ON THIS PROJECT SO WE ARE AGAIN ANTICIPATING WE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK WITH A CHANGE ORDER WITH DAYS POTENTIALLY. IT RAINED LAST WEEKEND.

SOME OF THE CONCRETE WORK THAT THEY HAD ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETE HAS NOT COME TO FRUITION SO THOSE LAST TWO COMPONENTS FOR DELIVERY AND THEY ARE STILL PROGRESSING AND WORKING ON THAT FOR THIS PROJECT.

>> STILL ON PACE FOR THE DATE WE COME -- COMMUNICATED OUT? LIKE A CELEBRATION DATE OR SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT?

>> I'M NOT AWARE THAT WE PUT OUT A CELEBRATION DATE JUST YET.

>> I DON'T THINK SO. >> I THOUGHT THERE WAS A --

>> THINKING MAY SIXTH, OPEN BY MAY SIXTH.

>> THE PUBLIC COMMUNICATION THAT WE PUT OUT IS JUST THE MONTH OF MAY FOR FRITZ PARK. WE DID NOT PUT OUT A SPECIFIC DATE. MAY SIXTH WAS A DATE THAT WAS FLOATED AROUND I BELIEVE AND WAS APPROVED.

>> THAT WAS THE CHANGE ORDER I THINK FOR THE TIME THAT HAD BEEN DELAYED, 60 DAYS, WHICH PUT IT TO MAY SIXTH.

THE SKATE PARK IS GOING TO BE THE FINAL COMPONENT.

THAT'S TRACKING TO BE DONE THE THIRD WEEK OF MAY, AFTER MAY SIXTH, THE SKATE PARK. I SEE YOU RESEARCHING.

>> I WAS JUST LOOKING. DON'T CATCH ONTO THINGS VERY QUICKLY. I WILL DOUBLE CHECK.

>> MARCH 27TH. GET READY FOR SUMMER.

IT'S PARK. HOMESTRETCH.

SET MAY SIXTH, 2026 AS THE COMPLETION DATE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS BUILT TO HIGH STANDARDS.

ALL MEMBERS, BCC, SENT FROM ABBY.

>> SOUNDS LIKE MAY 6 IS A DATE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO BUT -- [LAUGHTER]

YOU'VE GOT FOUR WEEKS. >> THAT'S THE EMAIL I REMEMBER

READING. >> LIKE HOOPS, SORRY.

CAN APPROVE WORKING BEYOND 6:00 IN THE AFTERNOON.

>> THE EMAIL THAT WAS SENT TO COUNCIL WAS BEFORE INTERNAL DELIBERATION TO NOT PUT A DATE CERTAIN TO THE PUBLIC.

SO THE CHANGE WAS WE TOOK THE SIX OFF THAT MESSAGING THAT

COUNCILMEMBER GORDON IS READING. >> LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT DDC, TO ME YOU GUYS HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO BEFORE YOU TELL US BECAUSE ONCE YOU TELL THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WE ARE KIND OF LIKE MAY 6 IS THE DATE.

THEN YOU GUYS SAY WELL ACTUALLY IT WILL BE THE MONTH OF MAY, WE MAY HAVE BEEN PREMATURE BUT -- OBVIOUSLY WE ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO DATES AT THIS POINT. I HAD PLANS FOR THE SEVENTH.

I WAS TRYING TO RUN A PAVILION THERE BUT THAT EXPLAINS WHY IT'S

NOT RENTABLE. >> MY 2-YEAR-OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IS EXPECTING MAY SIXTH. [LAUGHTER]

>> THE ONLY THING IS THE SKATE PARK?

>> THE SKATE PARK WILL BE DELAYED.

>> THAT'S YOUR GUYS' CALL. WE DID HAVE A WEDDING ONE TIME THAT HAPPENED AT A CLOSED PARK. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR THAT TRO

TROUBLE. >> ARE WE SAYING WE WANT OPENING

PORTION EARLY? >> IF POSSIBLE.

[01:00:01]

>> WE WILL GO BACK AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR TO SEE IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.

>> DON'T WANT TO PUT HIS LIFE IN DANGER JUST A -- PUBLIC SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT. A SKATE PARK OFF TO THE SIDE AND A WHOLE PARK TO BE OPENED UP. WE NEED THIS WIN.

>> FOR THIS PROJECT, FOR POINT OF CLARIFICATION, IS THERE AN ANTICIPATED...RIBBON-CUTTING OR ANYTHING WE NEED TO ANTICIPATE?

>> YOU GUYS DECIDE ON A DATE WHEN IT'S GOING TO OPEN, WE WILL

BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. >> OKAY.

>> WE KID BUT IS NOT LIKE YOU GOT ONE PROJECT.

>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> THREE, 400 MILLION IN PROJECT GOING, ANOTHER HALF A MILLION IN PROJECTS BEING DESIGNED.

I THINK WE DON'T MAKE A LITTLE LIGHT OF IT, WE WILL STRESS OURSELVES OUT BUT I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING A VERY GOOD JOB.

EITHER HALF THE CITY WILL BE TORN UP OR IN PLANS TO BE TORN UP AND THAT'S JUST OUR SIDE, NOT EVEN COUNTING THE PRIVATE SECTOR THAT'S GOING THROUGH AND BUILDING EVERYTHING.

SO. >> THE TRAIL LIGHTING PHASE TWO PROJECT, THIS PROJECT, WE HAVE ORDERED THE MATERIALS BUT THE PERMIT FROM THE UPPER BRUSHY CREEK WATER DISTRICT, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT PERMIT SO WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD FOR INSTALLING THOSE LIGHTS BUT AS SOON AS WE RECEIVED THAT ■PERMI, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE INSTALLATIONS.

ON THE VETERANS MEMORIAL, WE HAVE COMPLETED THE PUNCH LIST, WE HAVE REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY FOR THE FUNDING. WE ARE JUST PENDING THE NEGOTIATIONS TO CLOSE OUT THE PROJECT.

AND BRING IT FOR ACCEPTANCE. FOR THE YMCA, I BELIEVE THIS IS AN UPDATE. ON THIS PROJECT, WE HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OR FUNDING TO THE YMCA FOR THIS PROJECT. THE PICKLEBALL COURTS.

UPDATE FOR THIS PROJECT. IT IS 90% COMPLETE.

THERE IS STILL A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO THE PARKING AS WELL AS SOME GRADING ON THE SITE FOR THE PROJECT.

BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS PERSONS USING THE PICKLEBALL COURTS ALREADY. THERE IS STILL A LITTLE WORK ON IT SO IT'S NOT -- THERE IS STILL SOME WORK.

WE HAVE NOT GENERATED THE PUNCH LIST AND OBTAINED AND CALLED THIS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE JUST YET.

>> WHAT IS NOT FENCED IN? >> THE CONSTRUCTION AREA.

SO IT WASN'T FENCED IN SO IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT'S FINISHED BUT

-- >> THERE IS A FENCE AROUND THE

COURTS THEMSELVES. >> NOT THE CONSTRUCTION FENCING.

>> CORRECT. >> I GUESS THAT'S ON THE CONTRACTOR, IF SOMETHING GETS TORE UP, YOU GUYS COME IN AND

INSPECT. >> IT IS STILL THEIR RESPONSIBILITY UNTIL WE -- SO FURTHER RESTROOM PROJECT, THIS PROJECT IS BEHIND. IT'S DELAYED.

BUT THEY ARE 90% COMPLETE. THEY ARE WORKING ON FINAL -- THE WALK-THROUGH COMPONENTS OF THIS PROJECT.

AND TO REACH SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION, IT IS NOT SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE JUST YET AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE THE PUNCH LIST, CLOSEOUT DOCUMENTS AND COME BACK FOR ACCEPTANCE BUT

WE ARE NOT THERE YET. >> WILL THIS BE DONE IN TIME FOR

THE FOURTH OF JULY? >> I HOPE SO.

>> DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU MEAN BY DONE.

>> POTENTIALLY COMPLETE. >> IF WE ACCEPT IT THE WAY THAT IT IS, CURRENTLY NOT BUILT TO CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS, THEN YES. IF WE MAKE THE CONTRACTOR TARADALE DOWN AND PUT IT BACK IN AND REBUILD IT.

[INDISTINCT] >> IT'S THAT FAR OFF? [INDISTINCT] SO TWO WEEKS AGO WE DID WALK THE PROJECT SITE AND THE INTERIOR WALLS TO THE RESTROOM FACILITY,

[01:05:05]

CORRECTED. >> SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE TEARING IT DOWN. DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FIX A LEANING

WALL. >> THE CONTRACTOR, WE HAD A DISCUSSION WITH THE CONTRACTOR TODAY ACTUALLY.

THE CONTRACTOR HAS PROPOSED A SOLUTION.

THAT HAS BEEN EVALUATED AND OUR DESIGN CONSULTANT WILL PROVIDE

FEEDBACK NEXT WEEK. >> I SHOULD HAVE ASKED, ALL THE NEW PROJECTS PUTTING OUT, PUTTING THE NEW SIGNS OUT, LIKE THIS IS A CONTRACTOR, THE DATE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DONE.

LIKE 137 HAS NEW SIGNAGE REQUIREMENTS, RIGHT?

>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO. LIKE EIGHT CIP SIGN?

>> SO THE PUBLIC CAN COME THROUGH AND INSTEAD OF CALLING US THEY CAN CALL US AND THE CONTRACTOR AND SAY HEY, YOU ARE SIX MONTHS BEHIND OR YOUR BATHROOM IS LEANING, THINGS LIKE THAT. [LAUGHTER] IT JUST IS AMAZING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS.

IT'S GOOD YOU ARE CATCHING IT THOUGH.

>> SO THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, THE CIP SIGN HAS NOT BEEN INCORPORATED ON ANY PROJECT JUST YET.

>> I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED.

I DON'T KNOW WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING IT UP BUT.

>> WE WOULD NEED TO INCORPORATE -- DEVELOP A -- DESIGN DETAIL FOR THE SPECIFICATIONS OF IT AND A SPECIFICATION TO GIVE THE

DIMENSIONS AND INSTALLATION. >> I WILL FIND IT TONIGHT AND

SEND IT TO YOU GUYS. >> OKAY.

SO WE WILL DO IT ON THE PROJECTS WE HAVE.

SO DISK GOLF, THIS PROJECT WAS PLACED ON HOLD AGAIN DUE TO STAFFING CHANGES IN JANUARY. HUTTO LAKE PARK TRAIL.

AS A PART OF THE FISCAL YEAR BUDGET, THIS PROJECT WAS NOTED THAT UNTIL WE HAVE FUNDING AVAILABLE OR IDENTIFIED A FUNDING SOURCE, THIS PROJECT WOULD BE ON HOLD.

THE HUTTO LAKE PARK PLAYGROUND PROJECT.

SO THIS PROJECT, WE ARE WAITING TO AWARD THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT. WE HAVE EVALUATED BIDS AND THE RECOMMENDATION FOR CONSTRUCTION AWARD IS FORTHCOMING AND THEN OUR STANDARD PROCESS IS TO HAVE A PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING WITHIN ONE WEEK OF THAT AWARD AND THEN CONSTRUCTION WILL START, NOTICE TO PROCEED WILL BE ISSUED AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION WILL PROCEED UP TO SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.

AND WE WILL HAVE UPDATES IN THE BIWEEKLY EMAILS.

AND THE BIMONTHLY -- >> QUESTION ON THE TRAIL BEFORE WE MOVE ON. IS THE TRAIL JUST SOUTH -- AT 79 ON THE SO SIDE OF 79 AND FOR ITS PART, HAS THAT OPENED UP YET? LAST TIME I SAW MAYBE A MONTH OR SO, IT WAS STILL CLOSED.

>> THE ONE -- >> 199 THAT GOES UNDER.

>> WE JUST ANNOUNCED THAT TODAY. >> IT DID OPEN TODAY, GREAT,

THANK YOU. >> FOR THE FACILITIES PROJECT UPDATE, WE ONLY HAVE THE ONE PROJECT TO REPORT ON, THE POLICE JUSTICE CENTER. WE HAVE COMPLETED THE PLANNING AND THE SITE PLANNING REPORT. WE CAME TO COUNCIL AND YOU ALL THANK YOU AWARDED A DESIGN CONTRACT TO PB K.

THEY ARE WORKING THROUGH THE PRELIMINARY SITE LAYOUT, COORDINATING WITH THE POLICE AND COURT AND THEY ARE REALLY MOVING PROGRESSING AHEAD. A SITE HAS BEEN DETERMINED, THE EDC HAS SELECTED A SITE. CAN I SAY THE PARCEL SINCE THEY

SELECTED IT? >> YES.

>> IT'S PARCEL 15 FOR THE EDC SITE SELECTION AND THEN WITH THE SITE SELECTION, JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT FOR THE PROJECT, AT THE TIME OF THE AWARD OF THE DESIGN CONTRACT, THE ROADWAY COMPONENTS AND THE SIT SITE...LAND-USE HAD NOT BEEN

[01:10:02]

INSTEAD OF AGRICULTURE WE HAVE TO REZONE IT TO THE APPROPRIATE SITE. FOR THAT PARCEL.

SO THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING AS WELL.

FOR DRAINAGE PROJECTS, WE HAVE THE LEGENDS OF HUTTO PROJECT AND AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING ON APRIL SECOND, THERE WAS DISCUSSION AND WE ARE IN CONSTRUCTION AND THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR HAS COLLABORATED WITH CITY TEAM AND WE ARE COORDINATING LETTER DISTRIBUTION TO ALL THE PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG THE CHANNEL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ON THEIR PARCEL FOR FENCING THAT WILL BE REMOVED, TEMPORARY FENCE WILL BE INSTALLED AND THEN A PERMANENT FENCE WILL BE INCORPORATED, REPLACED.

SO WE STILL NEED TO COME BACK AND HAVE THAT APPROVAL BEFORE THE CONTRACTOR CAN GO START THAT WORK.

SO HOPING AND ANTICIPATING FOR PROPERTY OWNERS TO PROVIDE ACCESS LETTERS BACK AND OF THIS MONTH, HOPEFULLY NO LATER THAN MAY TO MAY. SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE WITH

CONSTRUCTION. >> ON THAT, THE MAIN REASON WE ARE DOING THAT IS BECAUSE I THINK WE HEARD 90-99% OF THE FENCES ARE ON OUR SIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE.

THEY ARE IN THE EASEMENT, RIGHT? SO WHEN THE NEW FENCES ARE UP, WILL THEY BE PUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LINE THIS TIME?

>> THAT IS THE HOPE. >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT PUTTING THE FENCES BACK WHERE THEY WERE, BUT WHERE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. IS THAT RIGHT?

>> YES. >> SO THE HOMEOWNERS, THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE HOMEOWNERS UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR FENCE MAYBE IN A FEW INCHES FURTHER THAN WHAT YOU ARE

USED TO OR EXPECTING. >> YEAH, SO THAT IS DETAILED IN THE LETTER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT IT'S OUTSIDE.

>> I AGREE WITH THAT. 4 FEET IN.

I MEAN THAT'S GOING TO BE A SHOCK TO SOME PEOPLE.

>> IT ALSO MAY AFFECT THEIR IRRIGATION, THE RIGHT OF WAY, THE EASEMENT THAT IS BACK THERE. THEY MAY HAVE BUILT A SHED OR

SOMETHING. >> IN THE EASEMENT.

>> I'VE ALREADY HEARD -- >> MAYBE IN THE EASEMENT WHEN IT WAS THERE ALL ALONG AND THE OWNER DID NOT KNOW THAT.

>> I'VE EVEN HEARD FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS -- YOU CAN'T MOVE THE FENCE TWO OR 3 FEET AND KEEP EVERYTHING ATTACHED TO THE

GROUND. >> YES, WE DON'T HAVE THE DIMENSIONS OF EACH PARCEL LOT, HOW FAR INTO THE LOT WE ARE AGAIN JUST ADVISING THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WE WILL NEED TO GO INTO THEIR LOTS. SO WE ARE COORDINATING AGAIN ON EACH LOT BEFORE THEY REMOVE THE FENCING.

THEY ARE GOING TO SET WHAT THE TEMPORARY FENCING LOCATION WILL BE BECAUSE THAT TEMPORARY LOCATION WILL BE WHAT THE PERMANENT WILL BE. SO WE WILL HAVE TO DO IT PARCEL BY PARCEL. WILLIAMSON COUNTY HAS COMPLETED SEGMENT ONE OF THE SOUTHEAST LOOP, EAST WILCO HIGHWAY.

THE SEGMENT TWO IS CURRENTLY IN CONSTRUCTION.

AND THEY ARE COORDINATING THAT. >> DO THEY HAVE A ETA OF COMPLETION? PROBABLY HAVE.

I MEAN. >> IT'S IN THE EARLY STAGES.

WE WILL PROVIDE THAT IN THE NEXT UPDATE.

>> I THINK ONCE A MONTH, THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURTS, THERE COUNTY ENGINEER IS A PRETTY BROAD-BASED PRESENTATION THAT GOES BY PRECINCT HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT LATELY THOUGH.

[7.2. Presentation and discussion of at-risk Capital Improvement Projects (Patricia Davis)]

>> THE LAST PART OF THE PRESENTATION IS THE REQUESTED PROJECTS THAT YOU ALL REQUESTED FOR THE AT RISK.

[01:15:04]

THE PROJECT CONTRACT HAD A SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE OF FEBRUARY FIRST. TO DATE, THE CITY TEAM, WE HAVE MET WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND THE DESIGN CONSULTANT.

WE HAVE COLLABORATED ALL THE CITY TEAM AND THE CONTRACTOR AND WE HAVE COME TO A CONSENSUS AGREEMENT THAT THE CONTRACTOR IS ANTICIPATING THAT THEY CAN COMPLETE THE PROJECT IN MAY AND COMPLETE -- YES, MAY. COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

THEY'VE ONLY GOT TWO SEGMENTS OF SIDEWALK TO COMPLETE.

ONE NEAR THE A+ FEDERAL CREDIT UNION.

THE SECOND COMPONENT IS NEAR THE CHURCH.

AND THE PROJECT WILL REQUIRE INCOORDINATION THERE ARE SOME COMPONENTS FOR DESIGN REVISIONS AND QUANTITIES THAT WE NEED TO BRING A CHANGE ORDER THAT WILL HAVE TWO COMPONENTS TO IT.

ONE WILL BE AN INCREASE OF BAYS AND THE SECOND WILL BE INCREASE IN COST DUE TO THE INCREASED QUANTITIES ON THE PROJECT.

>> TECHNICALLY WE MOVED INTO ITEM 7.2.

SEPARATE ITEM ON THE AGENDA. >> THAT'S WHY I WAS SUPPOSED TO PAUSE. THANK YOU.

[LAUGHTER] I PAUSED BUT I DID NOT WAIT.

>> SHE'S LIKE I JUST HAVE TO CHEW THROUGH 100 PROJECTS.

[LAUGHTER] 7.2, PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION ABOUT RISK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

>> THERE WAS A TABLE PROVIDED, AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET.

JUST AS YOU SAID, SIDEWALK WORKING UP TO A+, CONCERNS ABOUT THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT AND POTENTIALLY WALKING AWAY DUE TO FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS. STAFF IS SETTING A MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR ASAP TO CLARIFY. POTENTIAL CHANGE ORDER.

[INDISTINCT] HAS THERE BEEN AN UPDATE SINCE APRIL TENTH? [INDISTINCT]

>> YES, WE DID HAVE THAT MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR. AND SO I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS CHANGES THAT OCCURRED AND THE CHANGE ORDERS HAD NOT BEEN SUBMITTED OR BROUGHT FORWARD ON THE PROJECT AND SO IN MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, THAT CLARIFICATION OF WE AS A CITY TEAM IN OUR PROCESS, AND WE COMMUNICATE, CHANGE ORDERS MUST BE BROUGHT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

SO WE DO NOT ARBITRARILY SAY WE ARE GOING TO APPROVE THESE DAYS OR APPROVE CONTRACT CHANGES FOR COST.

AGAIN, THOSE COST CHANGES, IF THEY ARE IN THE CITY MANAGER'S AUTHORITY, THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AUTHORITY OR CITY ENGINEER, WE TRY TO WORK THROUGH THOSE ADMINISTRATIVELY IN CHANGE ORDERS. BUT THE CHANGING OF THE SCHEDULE FOR DAYS, THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR HAD NOT SUBMITTED THAT AND SO WHEN WE HAD THE MEETING WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, THEY UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE SUBMITTED THE ACTUAL CHANGE ORDER DOCUMENTATION AND PAPERWORK IN ORDER TO MOVE THAT FORWARD, INSTEAD OF JUST PRESUMING THAT WE WILL ADD THAT CHANGE ORDER ON THE BACK END AT THE END OF THE PROJECT.

>> THE LANGUAGE THAT SCARES ME HERE IS THEY ARE POTENTIALLY WALKING AWAY. HAS THAT BEEN MITIGATED AND THEY

ARE NOT THREATENING TO WALK? >> THAT IS CORRECT.

WHEN WE ISSUED -- WHEN THE CONTRACT --

>> APPROVE CHANGE ORDERS. [INDISTINCT]

>> WHEN WE ISSUED TO THEM NOTICE OF NONCOMPLETION ON FEBRUARY SIXTH THE GOES THE CONTRACT WAS SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION FEBRUARY FIRST, THE CONTRACTOR -- WELL WE HAD A MEETING FEBRUARY 19TH WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND AGAIN, THE LETTER INFORMS THE CONTRACTOR, THE CONTRACT PER THE CONDITIONS, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AND BY NOT MEETING OR OBTAINING SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION, THERE ARE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES THAT CAN BE ASSESSED.

AND IF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE ASSESSED, BEGINNING FEBRUARY SECOND, IT WILL CONTINUE AT THIS RATE AND YOU COULD BE LIABLE TO PAY THESE. AND SO THE INTERPRETATION WAS

[01:20:01]

ABLE TO CLARIFY THAT. >> THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY ON STAFF OR ANYTHING BUT MAYBE DEPOSED TO CITY MANAGER, IF THEY THOUGHT THEY MIGHT BE WALKING AWAY.

WHAT IF THEY DO? EVEN THOUGH IT'S A REMOTE CH CHANCE. I'M NOT ASKING FOR THE ANSWER NOW BUT DO WE HAVE MITIGATION PLANS OR A PLAN B IF THEY DECIDE TO WALK OUT? WHAT CAN WE DO?

>> IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES, THE PERFORMANCE BOND HAS THOSE CONDITIONS THAT WITH A SURETY, OF A CONTRACTOR DOES NOT MEET THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE CONTRACT, YOU CONTACT THE SURETY AND GO THROUGH A PROCESS.

THE SURETY CAN GIVE YOU THE OPTION OF EITHER YOU CAN FIND YOUR -- FIND YOUR CONTRACTOR, THEY REACH AGREEMENT, OR YOU USE ONE OF THEIR GENERAL CONTRACTORS --

>> THE INTERSECTION ISSUE. >> YES.

IT'S A LONG PROCESS BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO GET THE COST

ESTIMATES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. >> THERE WALK AWAY THE

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES DON'T STOP. >> THAT IS CORRECT.

WE WOULD GO INTO -- IT WOULD GO INTO LITIGATION AND BOTH PARTIES -- IT WOULD BE A LONG DRAWN-OUT PROCESS IF THEY WERE TO LEAVE

THE JOB SITE. >> I THINK YOU PROBABLY DRIVE-BY THERE ALMOST EVERY DAY. THEY DID NOT START PUTTING WORKERS ON THAT SITE UNTIL LIKE FEBRUARY.

BEFORE THAT IT WOULD BE THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE WORKING AND IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE OLD PICTURE WERE YOU HAVE, LIKE, TWO PEOPLE LEANING ON A SHOVEL, ONE PERSON WATCHING.

IT WAS LIKE THAT. YOU WOULD DRIVE UP AND SEE THAT AND THAT'S WHAT -- I STARTED SAYING THERE'S NO WAY THEY WILL HIT THIS DATE BECAUSE ONLY WHEN YOU HIT THE DATE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S CRUISE EVERYWHERE, PARKING EVERYWHERE, RIPPING UP EVERYTHING, NOW WE'VE GOT A CONSTRUCTION SITE.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY STARTED DOING THEIR JOB IT SEEMS LIKE AFTER THEY WERE NOTICE OF HEY, YOU ARE BEHIND.

I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE BID ON PROJECTS AND THEN SIT AROUND.

I GUESS THEY WERE NOT TAKING IT SERIOUSLY.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE YOU SPEED TEN MEN -- 10 MILES OVER THE LIMIT ALL THE TIME AND THEN WE START CRACKING DOWN.

I'M GOING TO ASK ABOUT THAT, HOW DID YOU EXPECT TO GET THE PROJECT DONE IN 90 DAYS WITH THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE WORKING.

GONE BY FIVE, NOT EVEN STARTING UNTIL TEN, NOT EVEN WORKING EIGHT HOUR DAYS. I'M LIKE THIS IS A HUGE PROJECT.

>> NO OVERTIME ALLOWED. >> YOU WIN ZONE, YOU LOSE SOME.

>> THERE WAS COMMUNICATION WHEN WE MET WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR THAT THERE WERE SOME ITEMS THAT THEY BELIEVED, LIKE, THE SURVEY WAS A BIG ITEM THAT -- A COMPONENT THAT WAS A HUGE DELAY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT, TO INITIATE THEIR WORK.

SO THAT GOT RESOLVED BUT THAT DID DELAY THEM A LITTLE.

SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUES QUESTIONS?

>> YES, I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING CHANGE ORDERS.

WHAT IS TRIGGERING THE CHANGE ORDERS MONETARILY?

>> SO THERE ARE SIX MAJOR ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT AND THE REQUEST FOR INFORMATION, THERE WERE FOUR THAT WERE PROVIDED, HAD DESIGN CHANGES AND SOME RECONSTRUCTION COST AND THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR ESTIMATED AND GAVE US JUST A DOLLAR AMOUNT AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE A FULL PACKAGE FOR WHAT THOSE CHANGES WERE ATTRIBUTED TO AND WE ALREADY HAVE A BID ITEM IN THE CONTRACT AND AGAIN, THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR SUBMITTED A CHANGE AND UNIT PRICING THAT WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE CONTRACT SO WE HAD TO DISCUSS AND KIND OF COME TO RESOLUTION THAT IN A BID CONTRACT, WE CAN ONLY TAKE THE UNIT BID PRICE AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS BID AND YOU INCREASE QUANTITIES.

THAT QUANTITY IS APPLIED PER THAT UNIT PRICE.

AND SO WE DID ASK FOR THE COST ESTIMATE.

IF THEY BELIEVE THAT THEIR COST WAS HIGHER, THEY NEEDED TO PROVIDE MORE SUBSTANTIAL INFORMATION.

>> IS THIS GOING TO EXCEED THE BUDGET?

>> YES. WHEN YOU SAY BUDGET, MEANING THE

[01:25:03]

THESE ARE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS. >> WHAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR THIS

ENTIRE PROJECT? >> NOW THAT YOU ARE ASKING ME, I DID NOT BRING THAT WITH ME. I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK

AT MY PAPERWORK. >> WHILE YOU ARE DOING THAT, THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY ARE BUILDING TO PLANS AND SPECS, THEN WHY THE CHANGE ORDERS?

>> THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT AMOUNT WAS FOR 529,000.

THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE DESIGN, BUT THAT'S THE CONSTRUCTION

CONTRACT. >> IT GOES BACK TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT UPSTAIRS. THEY ARE DOING A SEALED BID.

THEY ARE INTERPRETING THE THINGS AND WAIT A MINUTE, I THOUGHT IT

WAS THIS AND NOT THAT. >> SO THE RFI'S, THERE WERE SOME DESIGN CHANGES THAT HAD TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CONSULTANT FOR SOME OF THOSE QUANTITY CHANGES AND SO THOSE WERE AGREED THAT WE NEED TO PROCESS A CHANGE ORDER. IT'S JUST THEY HAD NOT SUBMITTED

A CHANGE ORDER. >> AND THAT WAS NOT CAUGHT UP FRONT, THAT WAS CAUGHT AFTER THE FACT?

>> IT WAS CAUGHT AFTER-THE-FACT BECAUSE WE RELOCATED A SEGMENT OF SIDEWALK IN THE FIELD THAT WAS NOT PER THE PLANS.

>> OKAY. SO THAT'S ON US.

>> AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MAKE CHANGES, LIKE THEY GET OUT AND EXPECTED SOMETHING AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE, OR IN THE CASE OF THE LOOP, THE UNDERGROUND UTILITY WAS IN THE WAY WHEN THEY EXCAVATED.

SO IT'S USUALLY THINGS LIKE T THAT.

IN VERY RARE INSTANCES IS THAT THE DESIGN DOES NOT WORK IN THIS PARTICULAR SEGMENT. MAYBE GROUNDWATER IS TOO HIGH.

IT'S USUALLY THOSE THINGS. USUALLY CONFLICTS.

IT'S VERY SELDOM HEY, THIS STRETCH OF SIDEWALK HERE, YEAH, WE CAN'T BUILD IT THAT WAY, WE NEED TO -- IT'S NOT USUALLY THAT. IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE OF SOME CONFLICT WITH A UTILITY OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT WAS NOT KNOWN AND THE DESIGN HAD TO CHANGE AND THAT MEANS CHANGE OF QUANTITIES AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES SHE'S TALKING ABOUT, BUT THE RAMP IN FRONT OF A PLUS FEDERAL CREDIT UNION NEEDS TO HAVE SOME MODIFICATION. WE WERE GOING TO BUILD AROUND IT AND CAUSE A LOT OF DISTRESS TO A+ BY TEARING UP A LOT OF THEIR ESTABLISHED PLANTS, LANDSCAPING, TREES, THAT SORT OF STUFF, IRRIGATION. WE HAVE NOW CHANGED THE DESIGN AFTER-THE-FACT TO FIX THE RAMP THAT EXISTS TO WORK, BUT THAT ALSO CHANGES THE QUANTITIES, REQUIRES A DIFFERENT CURB, A DIFFERENT THING TO HAPPEN, THEN WE HAVE TO GET ADDITIONAL EASEMENT. BUT THAT HAPPENED AFTER-THE-FACT BECAUSE A+ BASICALLY SAID WE WOULD PREFER THIS OTHER THING RATHER THAN YOU TEARING UP ALL OF OUR STUFF THIS OTHER WAY.

IF THAT MAKES SENSE. WE ARE ADJUSTING AFTER-THE-FACT AND THAT'S THE SORT OF STUFF THAT GENERALLY CAUSES CHANGES IN

QUANTITY. >> THAT'S BECAUSE A+'S LANDSCAPE

WAS NOT ON THE PROPERTY,. >> THE LANDSCAPING IS IN THE EASEMENT. I DON'T THINK IT'S IN THE RIGHT OF THE EASEMENT. THAT SAID, IT WAS THE

IRRIGATION. >> WHAT EASEMENT? DON'T SIDEWALKS USUALLY GO ON RIGHT-OF-WAY, NOT EASEMENT?

>> MOST OF THE TIME BUT YOU CAN HAVE PUBLIC ASSETS AS PART OF THE EASEMENT. THAT IS ALLOWED.

>> I GOT A CALL AND THEY SAID ALL OF THOSE LANDSCAPING WE JUST PUT IN, YOU GUYS JUST CAME IN AND TORE IT ALL OUT AND PUT A SIDEWALK THERE WHICH MADE ME THINK HOW ARE WE DESIGNING THE SIDEWALK AT THE SAME TIME THEY ARE DESIGNING A PROJECT AND THEN NOW THEY HAVE NO LANDSCAPE? DOES THAT MEAN WE THEN ARE GOING TO TELL THEM THEY HAVE TO CARVE OUT PART OF THEIR PARKING LOT TO PUT LANDSCAPING AND? IT'S LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT.

I GET IT, YOU ARE MATCHING UP A WHOLE BUNCH OF PLANS ALL AT ONCE AND YOU MAY HAVE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE REVIEWING IT, TWO DIFFERENT ENGINEERS, DIFFERENT COMPANIES.

I'VE SEEN SOME PRETTY CRAZY STUFF.

I GUESS THAT'S PART OF GROWING. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE

[01:30:01]

>> WE ARE ALL SET. >> ON THAT ONE, YES.

ONE MORE. AND THEN I WILL BE DONE.

SO FOR THE GLENWOOD PROJECT. WE ARE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE -- I BELIEVE IT'S THE LIFT STATION AND INTERCEPTOR PROJECT.

SO THIS PROJECT HAD MULTIPLE COMPONENTS.

IT HAD A TEMPORARY LIFT STATION, A JUNCTION BOX.

IT HAD A LIFT STATION AND MODIFICATIONS TO THAT LIFT STATION AND THEN THE INTERCEPTOR.

AND SO THE CONTRACTOR, IN THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT WE ANTICIPATED THAT THIS PROJECT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED APRIL OF 2025, WHICH WE ARE 365 DAYS COME END OF APRIL.

AND THEY REVISED PER MULTIPLE CHANGE ORDERS ON THIS CONTRACT WAS JUNE OF 2025 AND WE SENT A NOTICE OF NONCOMPLETION JANUARY OF 2026. AND THAT WAS AFTER, SO OUR DESIGN CONSULTANT DURING THE MONTHLY CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS MEETINGS WOULD PROVIDE UPDATES AND THE CONTRACTOR HAS COMMUNICATED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THEY HAVE A PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER TO RECONCILE SOME DAYS THAT THEY HAVE LOST.

THIS GLENWOOD LIFT STATION AND THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THIS SERIES ARE ALL IN COORDINATION WITHIN THE VICINITY OF OTHER MULTIPLE UTILITY PROJECTS AND THEY HAVE HAD CONFLICTS AND SO THEY STILL NEED TO SUBMIT A CHANGE ORDER.

THEY ARE GOING TO PROPOSE 15 DAYS AND ADDITIONAL EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH VARYING COMPONENTS.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT YET BUT TO THE TUNE OF $196,000.

AGAIN, THE PROJECT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DELAYED AND PASSED THE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE AND WE ARE ANTICIPATING THAT THE CONTRACTOR HAS PROPOSED THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT IN MAY AS A SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.

TO CLEAR OUT ANY OUTSTANDING ITEMS AND ALLOW A CHANGE ORDER.

BUT AT THIS DATE AND TIME, THEM A SECOND AGENDA, IF WE HAVE THE CHANGE ORDER AND CAN GET THE INFORMATION TO THE LEGAL TEAM FOR REVIEW ON THE SCHEDULE, THEN WE COULD COME AS EARLY AS MAY SECOND FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER FOR THE CONTRACT AND ANTICIPATE THAT THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE COMPLETE WITH THE PROJECT, SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AND THEN HAVE THE DAYS FOR FINAL COMPLETION JUST TO DO WRAP-UP AND FINAL CLOSEOUT, PUNCH LIST, WALK-THROUGH, AND THEN WE CAN DO ACCEPTANCE.

>> WHEN IS THE CHANGE ORDER DO? >> I HAVE NOT SEEN THE CHANGE ORDER JUST YET BUT THIS IS WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED BY THE

CONTRACTOR. >> THAT SAME TABLE, I KNOW THIS IS DATED APRIL TENTH. IT SAYS CONTRACTOR HAS DONE THE CAMERA TESTING, YET TO SHARE WITH THE CITY.

SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE COME MAY.

CHANGE ORDER IS STILL OUTSTANDING FROM CONTRACTOR.

>> YES. AS A WASTEWATER LINE, THEY DO HAVE TO CAMERA THE LINES AND AS A PART OF OUR REVIEW, OUR CONSTRUCTION INSPECTORS REVIEW THE FULL LINE FOR THE WASTEWATER TO ENSURE THAT IT'S ALL CLEAR AND ALL THE TESTING IS CLEAR.

BUT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT VIDEO.

>> I UNDERSTAND THE OUTSTANDING THINGS IT'S JUST THAT WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THEM FOR THAT AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY -- THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU SOME HINT AS TO WHEN THAT MIGHT COME IN?

>> NO. >> 365 DAYS BEHIND, THEY WANT A

[01:35:03]

ALL RIGHT. >> JUST AS A REMINDER, SO IN THE NOTICE OF NONCOMPLETION, WE DID, AS THE OTHER PROJECTS, AS WE NOTIFIED THEM THAT PER THE CONTRACT, AND THE CONDITIONS, THEY WERE TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AND AGAIN THERE'S MULTIPLE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATES AND WE DID NOTIFY THEM OF THOSE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. SO OUR DESIGN CONSULTANT EVERY SINGLE MEETING REVIEWS AND DISCUSSES WITH THEM WHAT THE POTENTIAL FEES COULD BE FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

AND SO AS A PART OF THAT, WE WILL SIT DOWN WITH THE CONTRACTOR AGAIN AND DISCUSS THAT AND AS PART OF THE CLOSEOUTS, THAT LIQUIDATED DAMAGES WOULD COME AGAINST THEIR

RETAINAGE AMOUNT. >> WHAT'S RETAINAGE, 10%?

>> 5%. >> GETTING 5% BACK.

I CAN'T IMAGINE A YEAR BEHIND. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES WOULD BE LESS THAN THEIR 5% BUT I GUESS WE WILL SEE IT WHEN IT COMES.

>> 365 TIMES 500. >> IT'S PROBABLY JUST A COINCIDENCE. ALL RIGHT.

THAT WAS THE LAST ONE? >> THAT WAS THE LAST ONE.

>> THANK YOU FOR A VERY THOROUGH -- ON THE CHARTS, IN THE CHART THERE ARE SIX OTHER AT RISK. HAVE THOSE BEEN RESOLVED?

>> THE FORMAT IS WE PROVIDE THE ENTIRE LIST AND THEN COUNCIL

ASKS FOR ONE OR TWO. >> UNDERSTOOD, MY MISTAKE.

>> WE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS. >> NO, JUST -- THANK YOU.

>> ONE MORE SLIDE? [LAUGHTER]

>> I'M RETIRED, I DON'T GO TO BED UNTIL TWO.

BUT YOU ALL HAVE TO GET TO BED. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, PATRICIA. ON THE FOURTH ITEM OF THE NIGHT,

[7.3. Presentation and discussion of the March 2026 financial report. (Alberta Barrett)]

>> I THINK MINE WILL BE SHORTER. GOOD EVENING, ALBERTA BARRETT, FINANCE DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD. THE NEXT ONE, OKAY.

I WAS GOING TO START PANICKING FOR A MINUTE.

OKAY, SO TO START WITH THE GENERAL -- AS OF MARCH 30TH, OUR EXPENDITURE ACTUALS WERE ABOUT 14.7 MILLION, THE FIRST BAR UP THERE. YOU CAN SEE THE EXPENDITURES ARE ALMOST 1.7 MILLION LESS THAN WHAT WE HAD BUDGETED, THE SECOND BAR. SO WE ARE DOING WELL THERE.

REVENUES, THE THIRD BAR, WE ACTUALLY HAVE ABOUT 23.8 MILLION COLLECTED, WHICH IS ALMOST 1 MILLION MORE THAN WHAT WE HAD

BUDGETED AT THIS POINT. >> 1 MILLION UP.

>> 1.7 LESS ON EXPENDITURES. >> GOOD JOB.

>> AT THIS POINT. WE ARE JUST MADE YEAR, WE STILL

HAVE ANOTHER SIX MONTHS. >> I KNOW, PRESSURE TO KEEP IT

UP. >> NO PRESSURE HERE.

OKAY, SO. >> MORE SNACKS, THAT'S ALL I'M

ASKING. >> TAKING OUR GENERAL FUND REVENUES, SHOWING WHAT THE FUNDING SOURCES ARE FROM.

YOU CAN SEE THE BIG PORTION THERE IS YOUR TAXES, TOO SMALL FOR ME TO READ, 64%. THE NEXT BIG ONE OF COURSE IS YOUR SALES TAX. SO HERE IS YOUR SALES TAX GRAPH AND HISTORICALLY, FOR THE LAST PROBABLY 2-3 YEARS, AT THIS POINT IN TIME THROUGH MARCH WE SHOULD BE SITTING AT ABOUT 47 OR 48% OF WHAT WE HAD BUDGETED. RIGHT NOW WE ARE SITTING AT 44%.

SO ON THE APRIL SECOND BUDGET AMENDMENT, WE REDUCED OUR REVENUES AND AMENDED THOSE DOWN BY ABOUT 374,000.

SO THAT WILL SHOW UP IN YOUR APRIL FINANCIALS AND WE WILL

RECORD THAT AMENDMENT. >> NOT THAT YOU ARE AN ECONOMIST BUT WE'VE BEEN RUNNING UNDER -- NOW WE ARE STARTING TO RUN -- IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE RUNNING UNDER WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR.

YOU THINK SOME OF THAT IS JUST CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS,

[01:40:05]

A PRETTY BIG DROP. >> FEBRUARY IS THE ONE THAT COLLECTS ALL OF YOUR REPORTING -- OR BUSINESSES, WHETHER THEY REPORT ON A MONTHLY, QUARTERLY OR ANNUAL BASIS, WE GET THOSE IN FEBRUARY. FEBRUARY WAS LOWER THAN THE PRIOR YEAR. BUT IT WASN'T NECESSARILY LOWER WHEN YOU LOOK AT JANUARY OR DECEMBER, EVEN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. SO FEBRUARY IT'S REALLY THE ONE THAT KNOCKED THIS DOWN LOWER THAN WHAT WE REALLY SHOULD BE AT THIS POINT. SO I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AS FAR AS WHAT IS CAUSING THAT BUT THAT'S THE TREND WE ARE

SEEING. >> IT LOOKS LIKE IT SLIGHTLY ABOVE LAST YEAR. ALTHOUGH PROBABLY -- I GUESS WE ARE ABOVE LAST YEAR, RUNNING BELOW BUDGET.

NOT CRAZY BELOW BUT. >> RIGHT.

SO THAT'S WHY WE AMENDED IT BY THAT 374,000.

>> SORRY, ASSISTANT FINANCE DIRECTOR.

ACTUALLY YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR, THERE WAS A MAJOR PIECE OF MACHINERY THAT WAS SOLD ABOUT A YEAR AGO. SO IT WAS LIKE ALMOST A $600,000 SPIKE IN ONE MONTH. SO THAT'S WHY THIS MONTH'S COMPARED TO LAST YEAR LOOKS A BIT LOWER.

>> SAVED ME THERE. >> THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN APRIL. WHEN YOU SEE HUGE SWINGS LIKE THAT, IT USUALLY TELLS ME SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT. >> OKAY SO SAME HERE, TAKING YOUR EXPENDITURES AND WHERE THOSE ARE GOING AND BEING ALLOCATED TO. YOU CAN SEE YOUR BIG ONE IS HER POLICE DEPARTMENT AT ABOUT 39%. THEN YOU HIT YOUR PUBLIC WORKS AT 13%, COMMUNICATIONS 1.8 -- ANOTHER 12%.

THOSE ARE YOUR THREE MAJOR ONES FROM ALL THE DEPARTMENTAL EXPENDITURES. WE INCLUDED THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION IN THIS GRAPH.

SO LOOKING AT YOUR FIRST REVENUE LINE ITEM OF SALES TAX, WE ALL RIGHT ABOUT 1.8 MILLION WHICH IS RIGHT AT 50% OF THE 3.6 THAT WE HAVE BUDGETED, SO THAT'S ON TRACK.

INTEREST, YOUR NEXT LINE, WE ARE ACTUALLY AT ABOUT 73%, SO THAT'S TRACKING A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN WHAT WE HAD BUDGETED.

YOUR OTHER REVENUE, IT'S GOT THE WRONG LETTER THERE, THAT IS RELATED TO LAND SALES AND THOSE ARE A LITTLE SLOWER THAN WHAT WE HAVE MAYBE OVERALL BUT WE STILL HAVE ANOTHER SIX MONTHS SO WE WILL SEE SOME CHANGE THERE. AND THEN THE MISCELLANEOUS FINANCE IS THE REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE CITY FOR THE PROJECTS THAT WE ARE DOING JOINTLY. SO YOU SEE THE EXACT SAME NUMBER DOWN BELOW AND EXPENDITURES UNDER CAPITAL OUTLAY.

SO THE CITY WILL BE TRANSFERRING THE MONEY TO EDC, IT'S RECORDED AS REVENUE, AND THEN AS WE DO THE PAYOUTS FOR THOSE PROJECTS, IT WILL BE RECORDED AS A CAPITAL OUTLAY IN THE EDC BUDGET.

NEXT IS UTILITY FUND. SO FOR HERE, TOTAL REVENUES FOR THE UTILITY FUND FOR THE WHOLE YEAR IS A LITTLE OVER 40 MILLION. WE ARE AT 42% AT THIS POINT.

16, ALMOST 17 MILLION. YOU WILL SEE THE MAJORITY OF YOUR REVENUES IN THE UTILITY FUND HIT AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR WHEN THE SUMMER MONTHS, SO STARTING JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THE MAJORITY OF YOUR REVENUES COME IN FOR THE UTILITY FUND.

LOOKING AT THE LAST TWO BARS, THE BUDGET FOR EXPENDITURES IS A LITTLE OVER 41 MILLION AND MADE YEAR, WE ARE AT ALMOST 15 MILLION, 36% OF THE BUDGET. SO TRACKING A LITTLE BIT LOWER

THERE. >> REVENUE SPIKE IN THE

SUMMERTIME. >> PROBABLY SPIKES AT THE SAME

TIME, CORRELATION. >> WE HAVE.

[INDISTINCT] REALLY IS JUST A MATTER OF IF

THERE'S ADDITIONAL THINGS. >> SO YOUR BIG ONE THAT YOU WILL HAVE LATER THIS YEAR ON THE EXPENDITURES THAT SHOW HERE IS YOUR OTHER FINANCING SOURCES AND USES WHICH -- I THOUGHT I SKIPPED ONE, MAYBE I DID. ANYWAY, SO YOUR OTHER FUNDING SOURCES AND USES WILL BE YOUR PREP -- PRINCIPAL INTEREST PAYMENTS. WE'VE DONE HALF OF THEM.

YOU HAVE DONE YOUR INTEREST PAYMENTS.

IN AUGUST YOU WILL PICK UP THE PRINCIPAL AND OTHER INTEREST PEACE. THAT WILL MAKE YOUR EXPENDITURES SPIKE UP. FOR THE END OF THE YEAR.

[01:45:01]

JUST A GRAPH OF OUR TOTAL CASH. YOU CAN SEE YOUR BIG ONE THERE, THE GRAY, IS YOUR TOTAL RESTRICTED CO NGOS, ISSUE WAS -- ISSUANCES. THAT SITTING AT ABOUT 134 MILLION. 2 MILLION LESS THAN IT WAS LAST MONTH AND THAT'S JUST DUE TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT EXPENDITURES THAT ARE PAID IN THAT MONTH.

THEN YOUR NEXT BIG ONE IS THE ORANGE WHICH IS YOUR TOTAL RESTRICTED WHICH IS ALL OF YOUR OTHER RESTRICTED FUNDS, WHETHER IT BE IMPACT FEES, TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FUND, COMMUNITY BENEFIT FEE, PARK IMPROVEMENTS.

OKAY. THAT'S MY PRESENTATION.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> IT WAS A SHORTER.

>> I'M SORRY? IT WAS SHORT, YES.

OKAY, THANK YOU. >> NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 7.4,

[7.4. Presentation and discussion on the annual review of all active incentive agreements of the City of Hutto and the Hutto Economic Development Corporation. (Cheney Gamboa)]

>> GOOD EVENING, CHENEY GAMBOA, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. I'M GOING TO PASS THE MIC OVER TO CHRISTINA BISHOP, OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, SHE'S A LITTLE MORE INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN THE ACTUAL PAYMENT OF THESE INCENTIVES SO I'M SURE SHE WILL BE A BETTER PERSON TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS AND I CAN PULL UP THE AGREEMENTS IF YOU

HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE. >> SHE HAS TO DO THE HARD WORK.

[LAUGHTER] >> I THOUGHT I ONLY HAD 10 MINUTES TO PRESENT SO THIS IS KIND OF A RELIEF BECAUSE I WAS STRUGGLING TO GET IT ALL DONE IN 10 MINUTES BUT I WILL STILL BE QUICK. SO FIRST WE ARE GOING TO GO OVER THE AGREEMENTS THAT ARE EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE CITY.

THE FIRST OF THESE IS WITH TAX DEVELOPMENT AND HEB.

STRUCTURED AS A 60% SALES TAX REIMBURSEMENT WITH THE SALES TAXES THAN ARE GENERATED IN THAT DEVELOPMENT AREA, THE STAR RANCH AREA. SO TO DATE WE HAVE PAID $4.3 MILLION, WE HAVE AN ESTIMATED $4.5 MILLION REMAINING. THE ONLY OUTSTANDING DELIVERABLE ON THE DEVELOPERS END IS TO GIVE US THE FINAL COST FOR PHASE FIVE WHICH IS THE FINAL PHASE OF THE AGREEMENT.

THE OTHER THING TO NOTE IS HEB IS COMPLETELY PAID OFF IN THIS AGREEMENT, NOW THE ONLY PAYMENTS ARE GOING TO TAC.

THEY ARE PAID MONTHLY. SO THE NEXT AGREEMENT IS WITH PARADIGM. SO THIS IS STRUCTURED AS A 60% PROPERTY TAX REIMBURSEMENT ON THE INCREMENTAL INCREASE OF ASSESSED VALUE FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT.

THIS WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL IN 2025 FOR AN AMENDMENT. WE HAVE PAID $117,000 TO THEM TO DATE. THEY HAVE RECENTLY SUBMITTED FOR TAX YEARS 24 AND 25 AND WE ARE WORKING ON PROCESSING THIS AGREEMENT OR THIS REIMBURSEMENT RIGHT NOW.

THAT PAYMENT SHOULD BE OUT WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO.

THE NEXT AGREEMENT IS WITH LONGHORN REAL ESTATE VENTURES AND AEND. 50% REIMBURSEMENT OVER TEN YEARS. PAYMENTS TO DATE ARE OVER $9 $9,000. NOTHING HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THIS AGREEMENT IN AT LEAST THE LAST TWO OR THREE YEARS, THIS ONE HAS BEEN LAYING DORMANT UNTIL WE GET SOME DELIVERABLES.

>> IS THAT THE ONE -- THE GUY IN UTAH.

>> JR S, YEAH. THIS ONE HAS BEEN KIND OF QUIET.

>> SO ARE THEY NOT MEETING THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN?

>> I HAVE NO IDEA. ONE THING I HAVE FOUND IS THAT SOMETIMES SOME OF THESE COMPANIES HAVE TURNOVER AND THEY JUST DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S REALLY AN AGREEMENT.

I'VE HAD PEOPLE REACH OUT TO ME IN A PAST AND BE LIKE I THINK WE HAVE AN INCENTIVE AGREEMENT, CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION, HAVE WE SUBMITTED FOR THIS? SO WE HAVE TALKED THAT MAYBE THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO KIND OF BRIDGE SOME GAPS WITH SOME OF THESE BUSINESS OWNERS. AND I THINK -- OKAY, THAT'S HOW YOU GO BACK. OKAY.

[LAUGHTER] OKAY SO THE NEXT AGREEMENT IS WITH BRYCOMM AND THAT EXACT THING HAPPENED WITH THEM IN THE PAST, THEY REACHED OUT LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS AGREEMENT. THIS IS A 45% PROPERTY TAX REIMBURSEMENT. WE HAVE PAID THEM ABOUT $30,000 AND WE ARE ACTUALLY IN COMMUNICATION WITH THEM RIGHT NOW. THEY HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED -- HAVEN'T BEEN REIMBURSED SINCE 2023 AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH US RIGHT NOW TO GET CAUGHT UP ON THEIR DELIVERABLES.

THEIR PROOF OF FTE AN ANNUAL PROPERTY TAX RECEIPT, ORDERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE NEXT AGREEMENT IS WITH

[01:50:02]

YOU MAY REMEMBER FROM A PREVIOUS PRESENTATION THAT LAST TIME THEY SUBMITTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT THEY DID NOT MEET THEIR FTE COUNT SO THIS AGREEMENT IS ACTUALLY BEING REWORKED RIGHT NOW AND SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT IN

MAY. >> I WAS THINKING WE'D ALREADY PASSED THAT, DIDN'T WE? IS THAT WHEN WE DETERMINED IT

WAS NOT ADC? >> THE ONLY THING THAT THEY HAD TO DO WITH THE CO-OP SALES TAXES IS THAT AGREEMENT.

>> I THINK I RECUSED MYSELF WHEN THIS WAS PASSED ORIGINALLY AND IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, THE ISSUE IS AFTER COVID THEIR SALES SHOT UP AND SO THEIR SALES WERE WAY OVER WHAT THEY PROJECTED BUT BECAUSE MOST OF IT IS DONE THROUGH DRIVE-THROUGH, THEIR

EMPLOYEE ACCOUNT IS LOWER. >> YES, THAT'S ACCURATE.

SO THE NEXT AGREEMENT IS KVAL. THIS WAS BROUGHT BACK IN 2025 FOR AN AMENDMENT. WHEN THEY SUBMITTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT PREVIOUSLY THEY HAD FAILED TO MEET A CONSTRUCTION MILESTONE. THEY DID NOT HAVE THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY COMPLETED IN TIME.

WE BROUGHT THAT AGREEMENT BACK. THEY HAVE SINCE SUBMITTED FOR THEIR 23 AND 24 PROPERTY TAX REIMBURSEMENTS.

AND WE HAVE REIMBURSEMENT -- REIMBURSED THEM $120,756 TO DATE. THAT WAS LAST PAID IN NOVEMBER SO THAT ONE IS MOVING ALONG PRETTY NICELY AT THIS POINT -- 12756 -- THE NEXT ONE IS TIGHT AND WESTERN INDUSTRIES, THIS WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2020. THE STRUCTURE WAS A 20% PROPERTY TAX REIMBURSEMENT OVER TEN YEARS.

NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY TO GET REIMBURSED ON UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SO THE NEXT AGREEMENT IS SKYBOX, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ON THE OTHER AGREEMENTS.

THIS IS TRULY AN ABATEMENT. THIS IS A 50% ABATEMENT OF TAXABLE VALUE FOR FURNITURE'S, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT.

THIS ONE DOES NOT RUN THROUGH THE CITY, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ADMINISTRATIVELY, THIS IS JUST BETWEEN THEM AND THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT. SO THIS JUST DIRECTLY AFFECTS

THEIR PROPERTY TAX BILL. >> I REMEMBER WHEN WE INITIALLY WERE CONSIDERING DOING SKYBOX, THERE WAS A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CITY HIGHER SOME KIND OF AN AUDITOR THAT GOES INTO VERIFY THAT WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING IS ACCURATE.

BECAUSE IT IS SO VARIABLE AND IT'S MOSTLY, YOU KNOW, EQUIPMENT INSIDE THE BUILDING, NOT THE BUILDING ITSELF.

HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THAT, IS THAT SOMETHING WE ARE

CONSIDERING? >> THAT IS NOT THINK THAT HAS

BEEN DISCUSSED WITHIN FINANCE. >> WE WERE THINKING THE COST OF HIRING A PERSON PER YEAR WAS LESS THAN WHAT THE OOPS NUMBER

WOULD BE. >> WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO ACTS IN THE WEIGHT OF AN INTERNAL AUDITOR FOR A SO THAT COULD BE A

PROJECT SHE IS TASKED WITH. >> THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC AND WE HAVEN'T. [INDISTINCT] IT SO IT HAS NOT BEEN A PRIORITY BUT THIS WILL BE THE FIRST YEAR THAT THE EQUIPMENT WILL HAVE BEEN SOLD AND BE TAXED.

SO THIS WOULD BE LIKELY THE FIRST TIME WE WOULD DO IT, COMING UP IN THE END OF THIS YEAR.

>> I DO REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT WAS SAID.

ALMOST GOING TO SAY MISDIRECTION BECAUSE IT CAME UP AND WAS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO CHEAT US. IF YOU HAVE 8 BILLION, WHY WOULD YOU LOSE 500 MILLION. MESSED UP, WE HAD TURNOVER.

SO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ON PACE TO HAVE A PERSON GO IN THERE, ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE ANOTHER AGREEMENT WITH SKYBOX. WE CAN MAKE SURE THERE'S NO MISUNDERSTANDING, THAT WE DO ANTICIPATE HOWEVER THAT'S DONE, BASED ON ELECTRICITY DRAW OR WHATEVER THEY DO.

>> I THINK TO START WE NEED TO TALK TO THE COUNTY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES TRACKING IT, RIGHT, AND THEY HAVE MORE MONEY AT

STAKE THAN WE DO. >> THAT'S A GOOD POINT, TOO.

>> THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BE HAPPY. >> UP TO THIS POINT THERE'S ONLY BEEN CONCRETE SO THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS WILL

TRIGGER AND COME TO BE NEEDED. >> BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LIKE I HEAR SOUND, IT'S RUNNING, AND THEN I TALK TO THEM AND THEY SAID WE ARE NOT OPERATING YET, IS JUST CONSTRUCTION SOUND

[01:55:01]

>> THE NEXT AGREEMENT WE HAVE IS PROJECT WELCOME MAT.

THIS IS 100% OF HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES PAID TO THE CITY WILL BE REFUNDED TO THEM FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $50,074.

THE TERM IS TEN YEARS. THIS WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2025 SO NOTHING HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT ON THIS YET.

THE NEXT AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY IS CERCO DEVELOPMENTS, ALSO KNOWN AS SPROUTS, IT STARTS 84 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE INCENTIVE PERIOD.

THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SEPARATE AGREEMENT WITH THE EDC IN WHICH THE FIRST FEW YEARS THEY WILL BE RECEIVING RENT PAYMENTS, AFTER THAT IS OVER THAN THIS PIECE OF THE AGREEMENT KICKS IN AND WHICH THEY WILL GET THEIR 50% OF SALES TAXES. THE CITY WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENTS. AND AGAIN, NOTHING HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THAT, THAT IS STILL A WHILE OUT.

AND THEN I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FINAL CITY ONLY INCENTIVE AGREEMENT, SO THIS IS THE STORY AND POUR YOU MAN BOOKSHOP.

THIS WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2025. 50% OF SALES TAXES ALLOCATED TO THE CITY, INCLUDING MIXED BEVERAGE, WILL BE REFUNDED TO THEM OVER THREE YEARS NOT TO EXCEED $31,600.

AND TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN REQUESTED.

SO THE NEXT SECTION IS GOING TO BE THE HEDC -- EDC EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENTS. THE FIRST ONE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2021, OVIVO. MOST OF THE AGREEMENTS ARE SORT OF STRUCTURED AS JUST GRANT PAYMENTS.

SO THIS ONE IS GRANT PAYMENTS, 280,000 DOLLARS.

THEY HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED -- I'M SORRY, RANSOM OF $75,000.

THIS EXPIRES IN 2033. THEY HAVE NOT SUBMITTED FOR A GRAND PAYMENT IN A FEW YEARS. THIS ONE HAS ALSO FALLEN KIND OF DORMANT. THE NEXT ONE IS AEND.

THEY HAVE RECEIVED GRANT PAYMENTS OF $150,000.

THEY HAVE $25,000 REMAINING. IT EXPIRES IN 2028 BUT THEY HAVE NOT SUBMITTED AGAIN IN A FEW YEARS.

THE NEXT ONE IS K-TONIC, PAYMENTS TO DATE ARE $120,000.

THE REMAINING $10,000 IS A BIT INTERESTING.

THIS LAST $10,000, THEY WILL NOT BE GRANTED THAT UNLESS THEY GIVE PROOF OF HUTTO RESIDENTS BEING AN FTE AND EVEN THEN THE MONEY IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING TO THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE LIVING IN HUTTO DIRECTLY, NOT JUST RECOUPED BY THE COMPANY.

THE NEXT ONE IS HUH TO HOSPITALITY.

$330,000 GRANT. HOW THIS ONE FUNCTIONED IS THEE DC PAID THE CITY FOR SOME OF THEIR PERMITS OR YEAH, THEIR PERMITS. THIS IS IN DEFAULT BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY BY AUGUST OF 2025 AND I BELIEVE THAT'S WITH THE LEGAL TEAM.

THE NEXT ONE IS HAPPY PANINI. THIS WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2024.

ONE TIME GRANT PAYMENT OF $30,000 SO THEY HAVE NO PAYMENTS REMAINING BUT THE AGREEMENT IS OVER FIVE YEARS IS THROUGH 2029 THEY HAVE TO MAINTAIN FTE REQUIREMENTS AND OPERATIONS FOR THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT. THEN WE HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT HERE. SPROUTS.

THE OTHER HALF OF THE AGREEMENT I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER.

SO FOLLOWING THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR SPROUT THIS ARE ENTITLED TO $875,000 IN GRANT PAYMENTS GIVEN THAT THEY ISSUE THE CEO AND MEET VARIOUS MILESTONES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN PAID FOR THAT AND THAT'S STILL A LITTLE WHILE OUT.

THEN FINALLY THERE'S A FEW AGREEMENTS WITH THIS, THAT CITY IN HEDC ARE COMBINED INTO ONE AGREEMENT.

THE FIRST ONE IS J.R. S. NOT WILL SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THAT. THAT'S THE AGREEMENT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. THEY HAVE BEEN IN DEFAULT AND THEY STOPPED OPERATIONS IN THE CITY AND LEFT SO THAT WAS WITH A JOINT LAWSUIT WITH WILLIAMSON COUNTY.

NEXT IS ALSO KNOWN AS HOOKY. THIS ONE PROJECT-V.

THEY HAD A PERFORMANCE GRANT WITH THE EDC.

$4,000,000 PERFORMANCE GRANT. THEN THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SALES

[02:00:06]

TO DATE PAID $700 THOUSAND IN GRANT PAYMENTS AND $447234 SALES TAXES AND THE NEXT PAYMENT IS DUE IN THE NEXT COMING MONTH OR.

SO ONE THING TO NOTE ON THIS ONE IS THAT THEY DID NOT MEET THEIR SALES MILESTONES OR REVENUE MILESTONE AND THEIR LAST REIMBU REIMBURSEMENT, WHEN THAT OCCURS THEIR SALES TAX REIMBURSEMENT IS REDUCED BY THAT PERCENTAGE THAT

THEY FELL SHORT. >> ARE THEY NOT ALSO BEHIND ON THE PETCO? WASN'T THERE A DEADLINE FOR

PETCO TO BE OPENED? >> I BELIEVE SO.

DO YOU HAVE ANY INSIGHT? >> I THINK THE ONLY CONSTRUCTION MILESTONES RELATED TO ACADEMY AND CHEWYS FOR THE SQUARE FEET BUT I BELIEVE THOSE FOR CONSTRUCTION MILESTONES.

YEAH THAT WOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THE NEXT GRANT PAYMENT WAS CALCULATED AND MADE PAYABLE TO THEM C.

THE FINAL ONE. WITH THE CITY AND THE EDC THE HUH TO WINE BARE, HUTTO WINE BAR.

THEY RECEIVED THEIR PAYMENT LAST MONTH.

THREE YEARS OF SALES TAX INCENTIVE, BOTH COME FROM CITY AND THE EDC. THEY'VE BEEN PAID $5300 IN SALES TAX SO FAR AND ARE ELIGIBLE FOR $17 THOUSAND SO THERE'S A POTENTIAL WE PAY OUT ANOTHER $11 $11628. SO THAT WRAPS IT FOR THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENTS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE'VE GIVEN A BRIEF OVERVIEW SO JUST HAD A FACE VALUE OF $1 MILLION.1 MILLION. THE CURRENT VALUE IS OVER $41,000,000 AND PUTTING INCREMENT AT OVER 40.

>> DO WE KEEP TRACK OF WHAT WAS PROJECTED AND WHAT'S ACTUAL? IS THIS RUNNING HEAD OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE FOR AN INCREMENTAL

VALUE INCREASE? >> YOU KNOW REALLY GOOD QUESTION. I HAVE NOT COMPARED THIS TO THE, THAT WOULD BE IN THE FINANCE PLAN AND I HAVE NOT LOOKED.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT POTENTIALLY USING THIS TO BUILD OUT LIVE OAK SINCE IT WOULD BENEFIT THE TOURISTS BUT IF IT'S FALLING BEHIND ON THE EVALUATION THAT MAY AFFECT IT'S ABILITY TO PAY THE CURRENT BOND BUT AHEAD IT WOULD POTENTIALLY GIVE IT MORE

MONEY, BUT THEN ALRIGHT. >> REALLY GOOD POINT.

THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK AT GOING INTO THIS BUDGET YEAR.

THE NEXT ONE IS THE HIGHWAY 79 MIX USE.

THAT VALUE IS $458 AND THAT PUTS IT AT INCREMENT OF $22 MILLION.

AND THEN FINALLY, WE HAVE THE TOURIST THREE MEGA SITE AND THAT WAS $1 MILLION..6 MILLION AND THIS WAS THE 2025 TAX YEAR.

$111548 WITH AN INCREMENT OF ALMOST $1 MILLION 10,000.

WE DID SEE THE 2026 PRELIMINARY VALUES AND THAT'S ALREADY

DOUBLED IN THIS NEXT TAX YEAR. >> $1 MILLION 10 MILLION?

>> YEAH >> SO I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE DRAMATICALLY HIGHER BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO FULL BUILDINGS UP AND A THIRD ONE IN CONSTRUCTION. SO I GUESS AND THEN ALSO MAYOR PRO TEM'S POINT. WE HAVE TO REACH OUT TO THE COUNTRY AND MAKE SURE, HEY, DID YOU REALIZE THERE IS 800

[02:05:04]

>> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY EASY TO GET CONFUSED EVEN IN MY HEAD AND I'VE BEEN IN THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

THOSE VALUES WERE THE VALUE OF WHAT WAS ON THE GROUND IN DECEMBER 21ST OF 2024 THAT GOT ASSESSED IN 2025 SO WHAT IS THERE TODAY, WILL NOT HIT UNTIL DECEMBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR AND

THE ASSESSMENT IN 27. >> BUT SHE'S SAYING THESE NUMBERS ARE DECEMBER 31ST OF 2024 AND SHE'S SAYING DECEMBER 31ST, 2025 WHICH WOULD BE THE BUILDINGS ARE ALMOST DONE AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN EVALUATION OF A BILLION IT WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE IF THE COUNTY IS PAYING ATTENTION THERE WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE VALUE FROM DECEMBER 31ST OF 2024 TO 2025 BECAUSE IT DOUBLED $200 MILLION AND THOSE BUILDINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WORTH MORE SO WE EITHER NEED AN AUDITOR OR THE COUNTY IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION OR WE'RE WAY EVER DONE

>> AS FAR AS I KNOW THE EQUIPMENT HAS MOSTLY STARTED TO BE INSTALLED LIKE THIS YEAR. LIKE THE BULK OF IT.

THAT DOESN'T NOT MEAN THERE WAS NOT SOMETHING PREVIOUS TO

DECEMBER. >> BUT THE REAL PROPERTY IS JUST A BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS, RIGHT?

>> THE REAL, YES, THE REAL PROPERTY.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CLOSE TO A BILLION AND WE SAID WE'LL PUT THAT AND THEN THE BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY WHICH IS I ASSUME IS THE EQUIPMENT, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BIG CHUNK OF MONEY SO I GUESS, I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT OUR PRESENTATION BUT I MAY BE OFF.

MAYBE IT WASN'T A BILLION. >> IF MEMORY SERVED $175 BILLIONEST MAKES PER BUILDING AND HAD ONE COMPLETED.

LIKE THEY WERE POPPING UP I WANT TO SAY.

>> IN 24? >> YOU STILL HAVE FOUR, FIVE,

SIX YET TO COME. >> OKAY.

OKAY. >> THAT ACTUALLY WRAPS UP THE PRESENTATION. I THREW A LOT OUT AT YOU ALL.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MYSELF?

>> SORRY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL UP THE N Q2 EDPA. SO THE SPACE IS IDENTIFIED AS SIMILAR TO A PETCO IN THE WHEREAS IS, BUT IN THE TABLE WITH THE TIMELINE AND THE ASSOCIATED MILESTONE AND POTENTIAL INCENTIVE IT'S LISTED OUT IT WOULD BE THE THIRD YEAR FOLLOWING THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT.

THEY WOULD COMPLETE 8,000 SQUARE FEET OF IMPROVEMENT, SO IT DOESN'T SAY IT HAS TO BE THAT SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENT BUT 8,000 SQUARE FEET SO THAT MULTI-TENANT BUILDING COULD QUALIFY BUT WE

NEED TO CONFIRM. >> WITH WHEN IS THAT THREE YEAR

DATE? >> THEY HAVE THEIR SO WELL ACADEMY GOT IT IN LIKE MARCH OF 2024?

>> THEY GOT THE, WELL THEY WAITED FOUR MONTHS AND THAT ALLOWED THEM TO STAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CHEWYS.

WE FIXED THAT FUTURE AGREEMENTS. >> SO THREE YEARS IS UP?

>> YES. I WOULD WANT TO CHECK THE TIMING AND COMPLETION ON THAT MULTI-TENANT BUILDING.

>> NOT OFFICIALLY BUT CLOSE IT TO.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. I COULDN'T KEEP A MENTAL NOTE BUT SEEMS LIKE SOME OF THESE HAVE NOT MET INCENTIVES OR THEY ARE DUE MONEY AND HAVE NOT ASKED FOR IT AND THERE'S DELIVERABLES.

JUST A GENERAL QUESTION. DO WE MONITOR THAT? WE HAVE A DOZEN INCENTIVE PROGRAMS AND THREE ARE NOT PERFORMING AND THE OTHER ONES ARE GRAY.

HOW DO WE, I'M SURE MONITOR THAT BUT HOW DO WE KNOW HOW THESE ARE DOING GOOD. WANT TO MODIFY THIS GOING IN THE

FUTURE? >> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.

CHRISTINA CAN SPEAK TO HOW FINANCE IS TRACKING THOSE.

ONE THING WE'RE LOOK AT FOR TRACK KPI IS LOOKING AT THE INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE. ANOTHER THING WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING AND WE'RE STILL GETTING LEGAL OPINION ON THIS BUT IN FUTURE AGREEMENTS WE'RE GOING TO PUT AN ABANDONMENT CLAUSE SO IF YOU DON'T SUBMIT YOUR STUFF FOR MAYBE TWO PERIODS IN A ROW, WE'RE DONE. LIKE IT'S AN AUTOMATIC TERMINATION BECAUSE IF THE MONEY WAS THAT IMPORTANT TO YOUR COMPANY, I THINK, YOU'RE COMING FORWARD ASKING FOR INCENTIVE THEN YOU SHOULD ABIDE BY THE RULES TO GET THE FUND, SO IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT, THEN WE SHOULDN'T BE CHASEING YOU TO GIVE YOU MONEY. SO WE'LL LOOK AT PUTTING IN AN

[02:10:05]

ABANDONMENT CLASS. >> JUST SAY THERE'S A TWO-YEAR, MAYBE AFTER ONE YEAR THEY GO, WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS INCENTIVE. CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS OR MAYBE WE CAN'T, YOU KNOW? HAVING THAT COLLABORATION AND TRANSPARENCY AND OPENNESS WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT IS, HAVE THAT, BUT SOMEHOW YOU SAID THE PERFORMANCE INDICATOR.

HOWEVER THAT IS I THINK IT WOULD BE A WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR.

>> THINK WE'LL SPLIT THOSE UP. THE SALES TAX PERFORMANCE VERSUS THE PROPERTY TAX SO WE'RE TRACKING.

WE CAN TRACK THE PERFORMANCE ON EACH CATEGORY BECAUSE ONE IS USUALLY INDUSTRY WHICH IS THE PROPERTY TAX ONES AND THEN THE

RETAILS AND THE SALES TAX. >> I LIKE THAT A BEEN DON MEANT THING BECAUSE IF WE AS A COUNCIL CHOOSE TO KEEP RUNNING LEAN AND KEEP PEOPLE'S TAXES LOWS WE CAN'T FUND FTE TO CHASE PEOPLE DOWN. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOESN'T CHASE YOU DOWN AND SAY WE OWE YOU TEN GRAND.

SEND IN YOUR PAPERWORK SO TO ME THE SAME THING SHOULD BE LIKE, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND WE WERE GENEROUS TO GIVE YOU THE POTENTIAL FOR INCENTIVE BUT AT SOME POINT WE CAN'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH, I WANT TO SAY STAR RANCH WAS A LITTLE BEHIND THERE FOR A WHILE AND YOU START TALKING MILLIONS AND WE HAVE TO BUDGET THAT AND SET THAT MONEY TO THE SIDE AND JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, THERE'S AN EXPIRATION AT SOME POINT, SO THAT WAY WE CAN GO BUILD A PARK OR SOMETHING AND SAY THANK YOU TO THIS DEVELOPER. THEY FUNDED THEY LIKED IT OR

NOT. >> THAT'S RIGHT.

THOSE FUNDS COULD BE REALLOCATED SOONER.

>> PUT THEM IN ANOTHER BUCKET AND WE CAN USE THEM.

>> AWESOME. >> ANYTHING ELSE?

>> THANK YOU. >> NOPE.

>> THANK YOU GUYS. >> THANK YOU.

THIS WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL THING TODAY.

THERE WAS A COUPLE OF POSTPONEMENTS.

THE ORIGINAL PRICING WAS TO TAKE PLACE EARLY IN THE CONFLICT AND INTEREST RATES SPIKED AND HAVE SETTLED DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND THESE BONDS TOOK PLACE. THIS WAS A SMALLER 3.3 MILLION.

IT BENEFITTED BY BEING TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER TRANSACTION, YOU'LL SEE THAT LIKE THE OTHER TRANSACTION GOLDMAN SACHS BEING THE LEAD PURCHASER, THEY HAVE BOUGHT MANY OF THESE ISSUED BY THE CITY AND TOOK THIS TRANSACTION DOWN TOO.

THIS TRANSACTION WAS PRICED AT 139 BASIS POINTS.

THIS WEEK WE PRICED THREE OTHERS BESIDES THE HUTTO TRANSACTIONS AND THEY WERE FROM 139 AND UP. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE EDGE OF WHERE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AND ARE PRICING AND THIS IS A REFLECTION OF THE CITY. SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT AND AGAIN EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY IN THE PROCESS.

NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 91 CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON R2026084 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE TAX UNDER GENERAL SERVICE WITH HOLBROOKE ASPHALT IN THE AMOUNT AS LISTED FOR PURCHASE AND INSULATION OF HIGH DENSITY MINERAL BOND SEAL TREATMENT FOR ASPHALT PAVEMENT.

>> THANK YOU MAYOR. DO HASN'T AVENUE PROBLEM WITH THE CONTRACT AND THE PAVING. MY QUESTION IS THAT THIS IS FOR MUSTANG CREEK AND I KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING IN JULY THROUGH AUGUST 6, BUT HAS ISD TRANSPORTATION BEEN ALERTED TO ANYTHING? I KNOW THERE MAY BE SUMMER SCHOOL BUSSES BUT DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR WHEN WE DO THIS REPAVING, DOWNTOWN IS PROBABLY NOT A BIG DEAL BUT DEFINITELY OLD TOWN AND LIVE OAK AND THAT AREA, I THINK PHASE ONE, IS ISD BEING NOTIFIED OF THESE ROAD CLOSURES? AND PAVING SO THAT THEY HAVE TO

CHANGE THEIR BUS ROUTE? >> RICK.

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. AS PART OF THE PROCESS THIS WOULD BE THE FOURTH ROUND OF LAYING DOWN THIS PROJECT AS SEALANT. SO EACH PLANNING PERIOD, AFTER THE MAPS ARE DEVELOPED THEY ARE SENT TO NOT ONLY THE ISD BUT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT INCLUDING FIRE, P.D., SO WE HAVE KIND OF A NOTIFICATION PROCESS THAT ALLOWS THEM TO EITHER ADJUST SOME OF THEIR SCHEDULED. TYPICALLY THIS WOULD BE THE SUMMER SCHOOL SCHEDULE FOR BUS ROUTE, SO IF THERE IS CLOSURES THEY'LL HAVE TO ADJUST SOME OF THE ROUTES DURING THAT TIMEFRAME

BUT THAT'S BEEN PART OF THE NORM >> LOCATIONS ARE SHARED AND I'M ASSUMING INCLUDING THE SCHEDULE FOR IMPLEMENTATION.

>> AS WE GET CLOSER THEY ARE LOCKING IN TIMEFRAME, SO THEY ARE TENTATIVE RIGHT NOW, BUT ONCE WE LOCK IN THE ACTUAL SCHEDULE WE'LL SHARE THAT WITH ISD AND WE ALSO SHARE THAT WITH SOME OF THE TRASH PICK UP SO YOU'LL HAVE TRASH PICK UP AND NOTIFICATION FOR DELIVERIES, SO FORTH SO IT IS A LARGELY

COORDINATED EFFORT. >> I WAS CURIOUS.

>> THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP WHETHER IT'S DURING SCHOOL HOURS OR DURING THE SUMMER SCHOOL HOURS, THIS IS STILL A CONCERN.

>> I HAVE NO OTHER ISSUE WITH. >> OTHER QUESTION IS CAN WE IN OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR ADD AN EXHIBIT.

I FORGET WHAT YOU CALL IT. YOU HAVE LIKE ADD ONES OR ENHANCEMENTS? CAN WE ADD AN EXHIBIT TO WHAT ROADS YOU PLAN ON US ON AND WE DON'T KNOW THE COST EXACTLY BUT YOU'LL HAVE AN ESTIMATE BUT AS PART OF OUR BUDGET WE CAN SAY AT SOME POINT THIS YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO COME OUT AND DO YOUR

[02:30:04]

>> OKAY. AS FAR AS BUDGET PROCESS?

>> WHEN WE PASS THE BUDGET WE CAN SAY, WE KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO COME BACK ABOUT THIS TIME AND DO THE WORK IN MAY, JUNE OR JULY WHEN WE PASS THE BUDGET IN OCTOBER EVERYONE KNOWS, MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS THE ONE GETTING PICKED THIS YEAR AND WE'RE GETTING THROUGH BECAUSE I FIGURE YOU KIND OF NOWHERE YOU ARE GOING NEXT WITH OUR STUDY. JUST US INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET.

>> WHAT'S HELPFUL RIGHT NOW IS WE'RE DRIVING ALL THE STREETS THAT HELP US TO DETERMINE WHICH STREETS, ESPECIALLY IN THE PRESERVATION SIDE WHICH ONES ARE CANDIDATES BECAUSE, SOME TAKE MORE WORK AS FAR AS CURB WORK OR CRACKED CEILING OR JUST PREP WORK IN ADVANCE SO THAT WILL HELP US DETERMINE WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS ARE AVAILABLE FOR NEXT YEAR.

NUMBER 260202 AND 26010401. >> THANK YOU MAYOR.

I WANT TO APPLAUD THE STAFF AND I.T. DEPARTMENT AND ALL THOSE BEHIND IN PUTTING TOGETHER THIS UPGRADE AND SECURITY SYSTEM IN THIS DAY OF AGE, SECURITY IS PARAMOUNT ESPECIALLY WITH SOME OF THE LARGER CITIES AND BIG CITIES HAVE A BUDGET TO TAKE CARE OF A LOT OF THESE SECURITY ISSUES AND THESE SMALLER CITIES UNDER 150,000 PEOPLE I WANT TO APPLAUD THE CITY STAFF WORKING FORWARD. I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT SOME OF THESE SECURITY SYSTEMS SO THIS IS A BIG STEP FORWARD AND SAY IT HAS EXPANDABLE, THIS REPLACEMENT SYSTEM WE HAVE, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING THIS WILL BE ROLLED OUT AT OTHER FACILITYAS WE SEED THE NEEDS COMING UP BY I WANT TO APPLAUD THE STAFF FOR BEING SECURITY FORWARD LOOKING AT THIS AND GETTING A GOOD PRODUCT AND IMPLEMENTING IT SO THANK YOU.

>> THIS WORTH $111 THOUSAND? >> I SAW A COMMENT ABOUT THE COMPLIANCE. ARE WE REPLACING CAMERAS OR IS THIS JUST REPLACING THE SERVERS AND ALL THAT?

>> OF COURSE. THE RECORD.

DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

THIS DOES REPLACE 28 CAMERAS THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING AND OUTSIDE, AS WELL. IT ALSO PROVIDED VISITOR CHECK-IN SYSTEM AND CONTROL SYSTEM, IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO LOCK ALL THE EXTERNAL DOORS IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY AND BRINGS ALL OF THAT TOGETHER AND AS NEW BUILDINGS COME ONLINE THEY'LL BE FITTED WITH CAMERAS THAT WILL BE ANALYZED THROUGH THE SAME SYSTEM. SO MY PERSONAL OPINION I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS PROBABLY A PRETTY FAIR PRICE AND I WILL SAY, JAMES, THIS IS A PREMIER TOP OF THE LINE, MY PERSONAL FAVORITE SYSTEM, SO I HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS AND I KNOW WHAT IT'S CAPABLE OF AND WILL DO EVERYTHING THAT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WILL NEEDS A FAR AS THE INTEGRATION AND STUFF, SO I'M OKAY WITH IT AND I LIKE IT.

I THINK IT COULD BE A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE SO I'M NOT GOING TO BALK AT THE PRICE BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH THEY CAN COST.

SOLID WASTE REGIONED IN THE AREA SOUTH TO HERE.

WE'RE A FAMILY OWNED OPERATION. WE OWN A LARGE SCALE RECYCLING FACILITY AND COMPOST ORGANIC MATERIAL AND A VARIETY OF OTHER BUSINESS FACETS. WE'RE AN EMERGING LEADER IN THE SUSTAINABILITY AND CONSULTING INDUSTRY AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE A LOT TO OFFER A TOWN LIKE HUTTO. AS YOU GROW AND AS YOUR CITIZENS START TO BECOME MORE AWARE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR WASTE AFTER IT'S TAKEN AWAY. WE HAVE A UNIQUE STORY ABOUT HOW WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT WAYS TO KEEP IT FROM BEING BURIED FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS NOW. IT WAS ENCOURAGING TO SEE THIS ITEM WAS ON THE AGENDA. WE'RE JUST INTERESTED IN THROWING OUR HAT IN THE RINK IF YOU DO DECIDE TO DO AN RFP AND WANT TO SAY HELLO AND BE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE

ANY. >> THANK YOU.

QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? NEXT WE HAVE TANYA CLAUSE?

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL AND THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU. I DID PROVIDE A COPY OF MY WORDS THIS EVENING. WE'LL START WITH OUR MISSION.

WE'RE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE WASTE DISPOSAL. SAFETY IS VALUED AT AC REDI.

WORDS OF WISDOM THAT WERE IN STILLED WITH US BY OUR FATHER WHO STARTED THE COMPANY IN 1992 WAS DO GOOD WORK AND TREAT PEOPLE RIGHT AND THINGS WILL MOVE FORWARD. WE'RE 100 PERCENT FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED. WE HAVE REMAINED 100 PERCENT FAMILY OPERATED. OUR OPERATIONS INCLUDE CONTRIBUTION FROM FIRST UP TO THE FOURTH GENERATION NOW.

WE'RE TRYING TO GO TO WORK AND BE HEARD AND PARTICIPATE.

THEY ARE STILL ON THE YOUNG SIDE BUT THEY DO ATTEND ALL THE LOCAL EVENTS AND HELP US. CORPORATE STRUCTURE.

FANNIE CLAUSE IS OUR PRESIDENT. THAT'S MY MOM.

MYSELF, TIME CORPORATE SECRETARY AND WE HAVE A CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER A NEW POSITION AND THAT MASS THROUGH MERCHANT AND CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER WHO IS CHARLES MARCUS, AND IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, WE LOVE TO PARTIES NIGHT YOUR CITY.

FROM CLEAN-UPS TO EVENTS. WE OFTEN TIMES WHEN WE PARTICIPATE IN YOUR EVENTS WE BRING OUR EMPLOYEES OVER TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP YOUR CITY CLEAN. ANOTHER FUN FACT ABOUT US IS WE LIKE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WE TAKE PRIDE TO OFFERING OUR BETTER TO CAREER PATH. WE EMPLOYEE 26 VETERANS AND THEIR COMBINED YEAR OF SERVICE IS 278 YEARS.

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE I'M TRYING TO SPREAD AND I KNOW TDS WILL RELATE TO THIS MESSAGE. EVERY OPPORTUNITY WE GET WE'RE TRYING TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE ABOUT BATTERIES.

THOSE FIRES ARE ON THE RISE AND WE HAD ONE HERE IN HUTTO AND

[02:40:02]

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF EQUIPMENT FACILITIES AND ACTUALLY LIVES AND THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES TO RECYCLE THOSE BATTERIES. OUR CURRENT SERVICE INCLUDE RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS FOR RECYCLE AND WASTE.

YOU CAN USE A 65 OR 95 GALLON CART.

THERE'S FOUR COMBINATION OF SERVICE.

WE PICK UP THREE ADDITIONAL CUBIC YARDS.

IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICES AT THE CURB.

WE HAVE A NO-FAULT RETURN SO THERE IS NO-FAULT IN RETURN.

WE HAVE AN ON CALL OPTION WHERE IF SOMEONE NEEDS SOMETHING OFF SCHEDULE WE'LL LINE THAT UP. OUR SERVICE IS UP TO SIX DAYS A WEEK AND RECYCLE SALVATION UP TO SIX DAYS A WEEK TWO YARDS TO 8 YARDS. WE ALSO PROVIDE 15 ROLL-OURSELVES AND A CITY CLEAN UP ONCE A YEAR.

YOUR CITY CLEAN UP IS PROBABLY ONE OF OUR PRIDE AND JOYS.

YOU COLLECT MORE PRODUCT OFFSET THAN YOU PUT IN THE LANDFILL.

YOU HAVE DONE A REMARKABLE JOB ON YOUR CITY CLEAN UP.

THERE'S A LOT OF RECYCLING WITH THE METAL, PAPER SHREDDING AND YOU'VE DONE A REMARKABLE JOB AND WE WORK VERY CLOSE WITH YOU.

WE'VE CONSISTENTLY REMAINED COMPETITIVE IN OUR RATES TO YOU.

PROVIDE OPTIONS AND ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR YARD TRIMMINGS BECAUSE YOU DO SO WELL AT CLEAN UP AND THAT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THERE AT THE CURBSIDE OR GIVE THE CITIZENS AN OFFER OF WHAT THEY CAN DO.

WE CAN EXPLORE ADDITIONAL OFFERS WITH CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION.

WE'RE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT PRODUCTS THAT MIGHT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION.

WE CAN EDUCATE ON RECYCLING. RIGHT NOW WE'RE MOVING TO DIGITAL DATA WITH ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND OUR CREWS GETTING THEIR ROUTES AND BEING ABLE TO, I GUESS THEY ENHANCED THAT COMMUNICATION SO WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION BACK TO YOU.

WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR CREW MEMBERS ASSISTING LOCAL EVENTS.

WE HAVE SEVERAL THAT SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE AND HELP US.

RAIN OR SHINE WE CONTINUE TO WORK.

ANOTHER FUN FACT IS WE'RE A WOMEN OWNED BUSINESS AND APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE YOUR SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICE. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> ALRIGHT.

MATT, TALK TO US? FOUR OPTIONS?

>> MAYOR AND COUNCIL. ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER I'M HERE TO DO SOME TRASH-TALKING. JOKEING A HID, JOKING.

THE CORRECT TERM IS SOLID WASTE SERVICE.

NICE ONE. CAN I GET TO THE SLIDESHOW?

>> SO THE CITY OF HUTTO'S AGREEMENT WITH A CDI WAS 7 YEARS FROM FAIR RARE 2026 TO 23. WE'RE ALLOWED THREE TWO-YEAR EXTENSIONS AND THE FIRST WAS FEBRUARY 23 TO 25 AND WE'RE IN THE SECOND. 25-27 AND THE THIRD WOULD BE FEBRUARY 27-29 SO YOU MIGHT ASK, WHY WE'RE HERE SO EARLY AND YOU'LL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH. THE CITY DOES RECEIVE A FRANCHISE FEE THAT'S 10% OF THE GROSS RECEIPTS ABOUT ABOUT 100,000 A YEAR. THE CURRENT SERVICE LEVELS THEY TALKED ABOUT A ONE TIME A WEEK PICK UP.

95 OR 65 GALLON FOR GARBAGE AND 95 OR 65 GALLON RECYCLING CART.

THEY DO SMALL APPLIANCE AND BULK WASTE AND NO LIMITS ON A MOVE OUT OR MOVE IN OR AFTER HOLIDAY. CITY SERVICES FOR NO CHARGE THE 15-ROLL OFF CONTAINER AS WE NEED THEM.

SUPPORT UP TO 10 CITY SPONSORED EVENTS AND CONTRIBUTE A DOLLAR PER ACTIVE ACCOUNT WHICH ARE UTILITY BILLING SO WE HAVE 13370 TO KEEP HUTTO BEAUTIFUL AND THEY BILL AND COLLECT FOR THE COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS. HOW ARE RATES CHANGED? THEY HAVE TO REQUEST IT TO THE CITY BY AUGUST FIRST FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR AND ADOPTED BY COUNCIL ORDINANCE AND THEY BASE IT ON 80 PERCENT OF THE CIP AND THEN 20% THE DIESEL FUEL PRICE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY. THE CURRENT RESIDENTIAL MONTHLY

[02:45:04]

OTHER RATES, $150 CLEAN OUT AND SERVICE CALL IS $8 AND 75 CENTS.

HOW ABOUT SATISFACTION LEVELS? WE DO A COMMUNITY IS SURVEY AND THE LAST WAS FEBRUARY 26. THIS WAS TRACKING THE RESULTS FOR VERY SATISFIED OR SATISFIED ON THE DIFFERENT COLLECTIONS.

I HAVE THERE THE THREE NUMBERS FROM 2022-2024 AND THEN TO 2026.

SO YOU CAN SEE A SLIGHT DECLINE IN THEM.

I'M NOT SURE WHY. I THINK PART OF IT IS HAVING MORE RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY BUT THERE COULD BE OTHERS, AS WELL. THAT SURVEY IS SCIENTIFICALLY VALID AND MAILED OR E-MAILED TO ABOUT 400 INDIVIDUALS.

WHAT WOULD BE SOME OPPORTUNITIES IF WE DID A NEW AGREEMENT WITH A CDI. IT MIGHT BE A THIRD CART FOR GRASS OR YARD WASTE. BRUSH PICK-UP.

MORE CITY-WIDE CLEAN-UPS. HOUSEHOLD WASTE DROP OFF AND

TREE DONATIONS. >> PEOPLE TO DONATE TREES TO

THROW AWAY? >> LIKE CHRISTMAS TREES.

>> NOT THEM PLANTING TREES FOR US?

>> WE COULD DO THAT AS WELL. YEAH.

SO WHAT OPTIONS DO WE HAVE? AGAIN IT'S FEBRUARY 27 THAT IT WOULD BE UP. WE COULD DO A TWO-YEAR EXTENSION. IN THIS WOULD BE THE LAST ONE WE COULD DO AND THAT WOULD BE AS-IS WHAT THE CONTRACT STATES AND MODIFY THIS AS EXISTING AGREEMENT IF THEY AGREE AND I WOULD GUESS IT WOULD TAKE TWO MONTHS TO GET THAT DONE. COULD BE MORE OR LESS DEPENDING HOW NEGOTIATIONS GO.

WE COULD GO AND DO A NEW BID. HERE I PUT 6-10 MONTHS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DEVELOP THE RFP AND REVIEW IT AND YOU HAVE TO APPROVE IT. IF IT'S SOMEONE NEW THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE TRUCKS AVAILABLE AND ALL THE EQUIPMENT THEY NEED SO YOU WANT A BIG LEAD TIME IF YOU SWITCH COMPANIES THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING SO FAR IN ADVANCE IF YOU WANT TO GO THE RFP ROUTE.

WE COULD GO MONTH-TO-MONTH. THE LAST TIME I CAME FORWARD TO YOU WAS A LITTLE FURTHER AHEAD. WE HADLESS TIME TO DO THE RFP SO YOU ELECTED NOT TO DO IT BUT I WANTED TO SHARE ALL OPTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL AT THIS TIME. SO THOSE ARE YOUR FOUR MAIN OPTIONS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DECIDE TONIGHT. IT WOULD BE A GREAT IF YOU DID KIND OF WHICH ROUTE YOU WERE GOING TO GO OR GIVE OTHER DIRECTION TO STAFF TO EXPLORE ANY OF THESE OPTIONS AND WE CAN COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN. THAT'S MY PRESENTATION.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AS YOU SAW THEY ARE

HERE AS WELL. >> QUESTIONS?

>> YES. SO GOING BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT SHOWED THAT THIRD BIN FOR YARD WASTE? WOULD THERE BE A RATE INCREASE DUE TO THAT?

>> THAT'S NEGOTIABLE. WE COULD TRY TO GET IT FOR NOTHING. I'M SURE THERE WOULD BE SOME SMALL COST BUT YEAH WE CAN TRY WITHOUT AN INCREASE BUT I DON'T SEE HOW THEY DO A SERVICE WITHOUT CHARGE FOR IT.

>> THEY ARE ALREADY MAKING TWO TRIPS.

ONE FOR RECYCLE AND ONE FOR WASTE.

I CAN SEE THE CART FOR THE GRASS AND YARD WASTE, THAT'S A THIRD TRIP OUT. SO IF THAT WERE AN OPTION I WOULD ASSUME THERE COULD BE A RATE INCREASE THAT WILL IMPACT

HOUSEHOLDS. >> IT COULD BE THAT OR WELL HERE'S A SEPARATE COST IF YOU WANT TO, LIKE PEOPLE SIGN UP FOR

RECYCLE ORGING OR NOT >> WHY THE THIRD CART NEEDD? MAYBE I'M BREAKING THE RULE BUT I PUT MY GRASS RIGHT IN THE

TRASH. >> I DID THAT ON CAMERA, JUST SO

YOU KNOW. >> I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS IS TO DIVERT THAT TO NOT GOING INTO THE LANDFILL THAT IT CAN DECOMPOSE AND NOT GO INTO THE LANDFILL.

>> DO WE KNOW FOR A LANDFILL THAT HAPPENS?

>> WHAT HAPPENS? >> LIKE YOU PAY TO PICK UP RECYCLE AND I'VE READ STORIES IT GOT DUMPED WITH THE REGULAR TRASH. DO WE ALL KNOW IT'S GOING TO

[02:50:02]

SEPARATE PLACES? >> THEY CAN TELL YOU WHAT'S HAPPENING BETWEEN RECYCLING AND TRASH.

I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION. >> WE'LL SAY IT IS.

I JUST WONDERED IF YOU GUYS KNEW.

I WOULD SAY IT'S ASKING FOR FRIEND.

OR ANOTHER CITIZEN. >> ANOTHER HYPOTHETICAL.

ON THIS THE FOUR OPTIONS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND A NEED FOR MONTH-TO-MONTH? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BENEFIT OF

THAT IS. >> YEAH.

I THINK THAT'S A CARRY-OVER FROM THE LAST TIME I PRESENTED WHEN WE HAD WAY LESS TIME, AND IF WE WENT DOWN ONE OF THOSE OTHER OPTIONS AND WE JUST DIDN'T GET TO FINALIZING THE RFP OR REVISING THE AGREEMENT THAT MONTH TO MONTH THAT'S AVAILABLE IF WE DON'T MEET THE DEADLINE FOR ANY OTHER OPTIONS.

>> I WOULDN'T DO IT. WE'RE GOOD UNTIL FEBRUARY 27TH.

>> THANK YOU >> IF WE HAVE AN OPTION FOR AN EXTENSION ANOTHER ONE, THAT GETS US TO 2028 I THINK YOU SAID?

>> 2029 >> THEN WHAT'S DRIVING THE REQUEST TO SUPPOSE WHETHER I DO THAT NOW UNTIL WAITING UNTIL THE

MIDDLE OF THE 27-TO 29? >> THE MAIN REASON IS IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO GO THE RFP ROUTE THAT WOULD TAKE US MONTHS.

WE'D HAVE TO DEVELOP IT, ANALYZE IT.

IF IT'S A COMPLETELY NEW COMPANY WE NEED TO ENSURE THEY HAVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT. AND IT'S NOT AN EXTENSION BUT A NEW AGREEMENT WITH THEM. YOU WANT TO ENSURE THEY HAVE EVERYTHING NEEDED TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE.

>> IT HAS TO BE DONE, HOW FAR IN ADVANCE?

>> WE COULD DO IT THIS EARLY IF WE WANTED TO.

YOU CAN WAIT BUT THESE THINGS TAKE TIME AND YOU WANT THEM TO BE PREPARED SO WHEN IT COMES TO FEBRUARY 27 THEY ARE READY TO

GO. >> RFP HAS TO BE DONE NO MATTER

WHAT AFTER THE THIRD EXTENSION? >> AFTER THE THIRD EXTENSION, I THINK THERE IS AWAY THAT YOU CAN STAY WITH THE SAME COMPANY BUT

YEAH. >> GOT IT.

THANK YOU. >> WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR, HE KIND OF HIT ON IT. THEY CAME UP AND SAID WE HAVE TO DO AN EXTENSION AND IT WAS LIKE YOU BASICALLY GOT THREE MONTH, SO IT WAS, YOU ALMOST HAVE TO DO THE EXTENSION OR WE GO MONTH-TO-MONTH BUT IF WE DO AN RFP IT'S 6-9 MONTH, SO WE JUST ASK, HEY, CAN YOU COME BACK WITH ENOUGH TIME WE CAN MAKE A

DECISION WITHOUT FEELING FORCED? >> LAST TIME IT WAS YOU KNOW THREE MONTHS BEFORE FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR OUT'S ALMOST A YEAR

AHEAD OF TIME >> MATT, WITH THAT THIRD OPTION THAT THIRD BIN OPTION WAS THAT AN OPTION LAST YEAR WHEN THIS

WAS PRESENTED OR IS THIS NEW? >> LAST YEAR IT WAS SIMILAR BUT SINCE THE COUNCIL ADOPTED THE TWO-YEAR WE DIDN'T MAKE CHANGES BUT THESE IDEAS WERE BROUGHT UP THE LAST TIME WE PRESENTED.

ONLY THE NEW THINGS WOULD BE DONE IF WE REVISED THE

AGREEMENT. >> AND WAS THAT OPTION BROUGHT

UP BY COUNCIL LAST TIME? >> YEAH IT WAS PART OF MY STAFF PRESENTATION BUT IF WE DO A NEW AGREEMENT THESE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES WE CAN CONSIDER BUT COUNCIL OPTED TO EXTEND THE

CURRENT AGREEMENT TWO YEARS. >> THIS MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR YA'LL BUT WITH THAT THIRD OPTION FOR YARD WASTE AND SUCH, WHERE DOES THAT GO. WHAT DO YOU USE IT FOR? OKAY. SO THE CITY THAT I CAME FROM IN CALIFORNIA, WE HAD THREE BINS AT THAT TIME.

RECYCLE, YARD WASTE AND LANDFILL.

ME PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT THE THIRD OPTION FOR THE GRASS AND YARD WASTE IS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY GOOD ONE, SO I'M NOT AGAINST IT.

THE ONLY RESERVATION I HAVE IS THE RATE INCREASE AND WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS AS PAINLESS AS POSSIBLE FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

THAT'S ALL. >> THIS IS ONLY IF THEY OPT IN, RIGHT? IF I DON'T WANT A YARD BIN I SAY, NO THANK YOU. JUST LIKE WITH RECYCLING.

[02:55:05]

IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE FORCING IT ON EVERYBODY.

>> WE COULD MAKE IT OPTIONAL OR NOT BUT YOU'D PROBABLY HAVE PUSH BACK. I KNOW A GUY THAT JUST PUTS HIS TRASH IN A BAG, SORRY, WELL ACTUALLY PUTS HIS GRASS INTO A BAG. I DON'T THROW ENOUGH TRASH AWAY TO FAIL WHOLE CAN AND I HAVE NEIGHBOR THAT USE PAPER BAG BUT IT'S ALL GOING INTO THE TRASH TOO SO IT'S ALL GOING INTO THE SAME PLACE AND I, WHEN YOU DUMP THAT MUCH TRASH THE PAPER BAG THE PLASTIC IT'S ALL THE SAME. I'M GOING TO GET SCHOOLED HERE

ON SOCIAL MEDIA. >> I FORGOT ABOUT THE CAMERA TH THING.

SO WHY YOU SAY IT'S OPTIONAL? THE CHALLENGE IS IF WE DID SOMETHING LIKE THIS IT HAS TO BE COST EFFECTIVE FOR THEM, AS WELL? DO WE HAVE AN IDEA, ARE THE CITIZENS LOOKING FOR A THIRD OPTION? IF WE SAY YES AND TWO PEOPLE DO IT, THEY'VE GOT TO COME OUT FOR

TWO PEOPLE. >> I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE INTERESTED IN IT AND PROBABLY DEPENDING ON THE COST.

ONE DIRECTION YOU COULD GIVE IS, EXPLORE THESE OPTIONS AND LET US KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE AND THAT COULD BE ANOTHER OPTION IF WE WANT TO AMEND THE AGREEMENT FOR THAT TYPE OF THING.

>> I THINK THE OTHER THING, AT LEAST FOR ME, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE RIGHT IF WE SEE THE SATISFACTION DROPPING YEAR OF YEAR, THAT'S KIND OF INTERESTING TO SEE THAT AND YOU KNOW IF THAT IT WAS REASON WE'RE DOING THE RFP THAT MAKES SENSE.

LET'S PROBABLY DO IT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION WHY IT'S DROPPING. I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BECAUSE THEY TAKE ALL MY STUFF NO MATTER WHAT I

DO. >> HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING.

>> PEOPLE ARE JUST LESS HAPPY. IT'S VERY EASY TO GET PEOPLE WOUND UP. I KNOW MY TRASH USED TO GET PICKED UP AT 8 A.M. AND NOW IT'S AT 4:00 P.M. AND I'M SURE THAT IS MAKING SOMEONE FURIOUS THAT THE SERVICE HAS GONE DOWNHILL WHEN IT'S PICKED UP AT A DIFFERENT DATE.

>> OR WE'LL HAVE AN ICE STORM. YOU DIDN'T PICK UP MY TRASH AND

I'M THINKING - HEY. >> IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY SOMEWHERE IT SAYS HAVE IT OUT BY 6:00 A.M. SO THEY SHOW UP AT 4

AM OR 5 AM THAT'S A PROBLEM. >> I'M TALKING 4:00 P.M. OR 5:00 P.M. IN THE AFTERNOON. WE SEE AT THE STAFF LEVEL.

THAT'S GREAT THEY CAN VOICE THEIR OPINION BUT I KNOW FROM A COMPLAINT, VERY FEW TIMES SOMEONE SAYS IT DIDN'T GET PICKED UP. I TEXTED TANYA.

SOMEONE NEEDS A NEW TRASH CAN IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO TEXT TONYA THAN HUNT DOWN THE NUMBER AND SHE GETS IT DONE BUT WE'RE TALKING ONE TEXT EVERY TWO OR THREE MONTH BUT I'M SURE PEOPLE ARE JUST MAD, BUT I DON'T HAVE, I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH RFP. I FORGOT YOUR NAME, SIR.

BRAXTON. I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE CURRENT SERVICE. I DON'T THINK IT'S A COMPLICATED THING.

JUST BUILT ON SERVICE AND COMMUNITY, BUT IN SAYING ALL OF THAT, ME PERSONALLY, I HIT THE WHOLE THING LIKE, IF A CONTRACTOR CAN DO GREAT HUNDRED GRAND THIS YEAR, WHAT CAN HE DO IT NEXT YEAR FOR AND WE'RE HAMMERING ON STAFF TO DO MORE WITH LESS. I DO THINK AT SOME POINT WHETHER THIS YEAR OR AT THE END OF THE THIRD OPTION I THINK AT SOME POINT WE DO NEED TO JUST SAY, WHAT KIND OF VALUE ARE WE PROVIDING PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THEM, YOU MAY COME UP AND FOUR OTHER PEOPLE MAY COME UP WITH TWICE THE RATE.

HOLY COW THAT IS A GREAT RATE AND THAT COULD BACKFIRE.

THEY COULD SAY WE NEED MORE MONEY BECAUSE INFLATION GOT US.

SO I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE PERSONALLY WITH ONE MORE TWO-YEAR EXTENSION AND THEN TO DOING IT BUT AT SOME POINT AFTER SEVEN OR NINE OR 11 YEARS WE DO NEED TO JUST BID IT OUT OR I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE SETTING THE BEST EXAMPLE.

WE JUST HAD A WHOLE MEETING ON BIDDING BUT I DON'T EXPECT MUCH

TO CHANGE IN DOING THAT. >> YEAH.

I AGREE WITH SOME OF WHAT THE MAYOR SAYS.

[03:00:01]

WE DID THE 23-25 AND THEN THE 25-27.

SO AT SOME POINT IN TIME I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT THINGS, BUT IT'S A BIG BAR THAT'S BEEN CREATED AND I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 2007, 2008 TIMEFRAME. THIS COMPANY IS PART OF THIS COMMUNITY SO IF THERE IS AN RFP AND THAT PROPOSAL, I MEAN LIKE I SAID THERE IS A HIGH BAR FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM THE EXTRA BINS. THE CITY-WIDE CLEAN-UPS.

IF THERE IS AN RFP. THESE OUTSIDE CONTRACTS.

ARE THEY, ARE THEY UNDERSTANDING THAT?

>> BUT ALL THAT CAN BE IN THE AGREEMENT.

WHETHER TDS OR AC REDI IT CAN BE IN THE AGREEMENT?

>> RIGHT. SO IT'S JUST NOT NUMBER OF BIN AND NUMBER OF PICK-UPS AND NUMBER OF SERVICES, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INTANGIBLES BUT THEY ARE WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT A COLLECTION SERVICE DOES. MAYBE ANYWHERE IN THE STATE OR THE COUNTRY. AS LONG AS THEY UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU CAN SIT THERE AND SAY WHATEVER QUALITY METRICS WE HAVE OUT OF 100. THESE NOT JUST COST BUT IT'S 75.

IT'S ALREADY THE METRIC SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

GOING WITH THE 95 AND NOT THE 75.

>> MAYOR, COUNCIL, JUST I FEEL LIKE I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SAY SOMETHING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IF WE EXTEND IT, IF YA'LL ELECT TO EXTEND IT, THIS IS THE LAST EXTENSION AND WE WILL GO OUT TO

BID IN 28. >> MATT SAID, KIND OF ELUDED TO, YOU COULD DO SOMETHING WITH THE CONTRACT THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING WE DO EXTEND IT I THINK IN MY MIND, WE NEED TO.

>> I THINK THIS THE LAST ALLOWED EXTENSION.

WE CAN MODIFY IT AND THAT'S TRUE.

>> BUT THIS THE LAST EXTENSION. >> MODIFYING WOULD BE LIKE ADDING THE THIRD CART OR MORE TIME

>> REALLY THE ASK HERE IS - >> NOW OR 28?

>> GOT IT. >> BUT ARE WE SAYING WE CHOOSE THE TWO-YEAR EXTENSION THAT WE CAN'T MODIFY IT TO SAY HEY, WE WANT TO EXTEND TWO YEARS BUT LOOK AT HOW MUCH IT WILL COST

WITH THE BIN? >> YOU CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT.

IT'S JUST THEY HAVE TO AGREE TO THE TERMS THAT WE CHANGE IN THE

CONTRACT. >> I MEAN, IF I'M THEM I'M NOT DOING FOR IT TWO YEARS. BECAUSE NOTHING IS GUARANTEED

AFTER TWO YEARS. >> THEY WILL DO IT BUT COST RECOVER IN THE TWO-YEAR PERIOD. WHICH MEANS SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES LIKE A NEW TRUCK, THEY ARE COME BACK TO YOU AND PROCESS BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO DO.

>> THAT MAKES SENSE, YEAH, YEAH. >> EVEN IF WE MODIFY FOR THE TWO-YEAR THAT DOESN'T MAKE A BRAND NEW CONTRACT.

WE STILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH NEW CONTRACT AFTER THAT.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> WE JUST EXTENDED.

>> YOU MODIFIED THE TERMS AND THE TIME HAS RUN IT'S COURSE.

>> ALRIGHT. YEAH I'M KIND OF LEANING TOWARDS ALSO EXTENDING IT FOR COUPLE OF YEARS.

I'VE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICE AND WORKED WITH THEM BOTH WHEN I WAS WITH BEAUTIFUL AND OTHER CLEAN-UPS THEY'VE BEEN MORE THAN WILLING TO COME OUT AND SUPPORT SO THAT'S BEEN GREAT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, IF WE DID CHOOSE TO DO A TWO-YEAR EXTENSION AT THE END OF IT, YEAH, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO DO A CART AND WHAT WOULD WE LOOK AT? I'M SUSPECTING THE LOWER CITIZEN SATISFACTION SURVEYS WERE AROUND YARD WASTE BECAUSE THERE IS NO OPTION FOR THAT AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY ARE NOT HAPPY, THEY WISH THEY HAD A CART.

IT COULD BE THAT. IT COULD BE BECAUSE WHAT I SEE ON MY NEIGHBORHOOD FACEBOOK PAGE IS THEY DIDN'T PICK UP ALL MY BRANCH BUT YOU DIDN'T BUNDLE THEM AND THERE'S RULES ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO TAKE THEM BECAUSE WHEN I BUNDLE MINE THEY ARE GONE AND THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM.

WE CALLED THEM ONCE. WE DID A LOT OF LEAF RAKING AND

[03:05:01]

I WATCHED THEM. ARE THEY REALLY GOING TO TAKE THEM ALL AND THEY TOOK EVERYONE OF THEM.

I DIDN'T PUT THEM IN THE GREEN CART THOUGH.

THEY WERE SEPARATE. >> RIGHT IN THE TRASH CAN.

>> MAKE A MOTION? MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE TWO-YEAR EXTENSION BY ORDINANCE WITH THE AGREEMENT REMAINING

SUBSTANTIALLY AS IS. >> SECOND

>> JUST TO CLARIFY WE'D BRING THAT EXTENSION BACK? IT'S NOT ON HERE FOR ACTION TONIGHT BUT WE WOULD BRING THAT

BACK TO COUNCIL? >> ACTION.

>> I THINK WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS, HERE'S WHAT I THINK.

WE'RE GOING TO DIRECT. THIS IS OUR WISHES, AND THAT WHY BUT THEN ALSO YOU GUYS KNOW TO HAVE IT READY FOR US.

>> BASICALLY WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING AND THEY'LL COME

BACK IN TWO-YEARS TO DO THE RFP. >> JIM, SO DIRECT STAFF NEEDS TO

BE DIRECTED? >> YOU HAVE OPTIONS FOR THE SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING CONTRACT INCLUDING ISSUES RFP AND NEGOTIATION WITH CURRENT OR OTHER FUTURE SERVICE ARRANGEMENT, SO I CAN'T MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT?

>> NO. YOU ARE DOING THE OTHER FUTURE SERVICE AND YOUR MOTION IS DIRECTING STAFF TO BRING BACK A TWO-YEAR EXTENSION. SO THEY DON'T DO RFP WORK RIGHT

NOW. >> GOT THAT I'LL RESTATE IT.

>> IT WAS A MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO BRING BACK A 2-YEAR EXTENSION ORDINANCE FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL.

>> TWO-YEAR EXTENSION BY ORDINANCE.

>> WHAT? >> BY ORDINANCE?

>> WHO WAS THE SECOND ON THAT? >> THANK YOU.

>> I'VE BEEN SCHOOLED. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. PLEASE CALL THE VOTE (

>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER PORTERFIELD?

>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER SNYDER?

>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER GORDON?

>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER KING?

>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER MORRIS?

>> AYE. >> COUNCIL MEMBER THORNTON?

>> AYE. .

>> MOTION PASSES 7-0. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANKS BOTH OF YOU.

[10.1. Consideration and possible action on modifications to the City of Hutto Strategic Plan. (David Amsler)]

>> NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 10.1. MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON MODIFICATIONS FOR THE CITY OF HUTTO STRATEGIC PLAN TO INCLUDE

KPI'S, RIGHT? >> YES.

>> LET'S SEE. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL DAVID. I WAS MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT TONIGHT SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS TO OUR CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH WAS SET FOR 2024-2027 TO GREATER ENHANCE ACCOUNTABILITY, KPI'S, AS WELL AS CLEAR DIRECTION TO PRETTY MUCH ANYONE WHO READS IT, WHERE THE CITY IS GOING FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE SO REMOVING SOME OF THE AMBIGUITY.

YOU'LL NOTICE THE FIRST TWO PAGES THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE PLAN. PLEASE SAME JUST MAYBE DESIGNED SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. WHEN WE MOVE HERE, AND IF WE CAN ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT ON THE PLANNED SECTION.

WE DID UPDATE THE GRAPHS HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE UPDATED COMMUNITY SURVEY DATA SO THIS IS FROM 2026 AND THE PREVIOUS PLAN IT WAS 2024 AND THEN WE ALSO UPDATED OUR POPULATION METRICS, AS WELL AS DEMOGRAPHICS. THIS PORTION RIGHT HERE.

I AM GOING TO READ OUT LOUD SO BEAR WITH ME BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC AND ANYONE WHO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH THIS PRESENTATION. THE CITY OF HUTTO IS CONTINUED IT'S MULTI-YEAR EVOLUTION OF STRATEGIC PLANNING BUILDING ON PRIOR WORK TO DELIVER A MORE FOCUSED AND ACTIONABLE FRAMEWORK. COMMUNITY INPUT AS THE COMMUNITY SURVEY REMAINS CENTRAL TO THE PROCESS AND CONTINUES TO SHAPE OUR PRIORITIES AS REFLECTED IN RECENT RESULTS RESIDENTS

[03:10:03]

THESE KPI'S WILL INFORM LEADERSHIP ON WHERE TO FOCUS, RESOURCES, ADJUST OPERATIONS AND PRIORITIZE FUTURE INVESTMENTS.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT THIS FRAMEWORK ESTABLISHED A CLEAR LINE OF ACCOUNTABILITY BY CONNECTING COMMUNITY PRIORITIES TO STRATEGIC INITIATIVE AND THOSE INITIATIVES TO MEASURABLE KPIS.

THE CITY CAN IDENTIFY GAPS AND COMMUNICATE RESULTS IN A WAY THAT'S MEANINGFUL TO BOTH COUNCIL AND RESIDENTS.

THIS ENSURES THAT DECISIONS OF DATA INFORMED EXPECTATIONS ARE CLEAR AND THE ORGANIZATION IS ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PUBLIC IT SERVES. THE STRATEGIC PLAN BECOMES A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT GUIDE WHERE'S WE GO NEXT AND HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS ALONG THE WAY. SO THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND I WANTED TO READ THAT ONE FOR THE PUBLIC BUT ALSO YOU AS COUNCIL SO WHEN WE GET TO THE MEET OF THE PLAN IF THERE ARE SECTIONS YOU BELIEVE NEED TO BE MORE DEFINED OR THERE ARE AREAS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU BELIEVE SHOULD BE TO MATCH THAT VISION THERE.

OKAY NOW WE CAN ZOOM OUT AGAIN. WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS A FEW TIMES. SO AS PART OF THE MARCH 7TH STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION CITY COUNCIL WERE ABLE TO DEVELOP MISSION AND VISION STATEMENTS THAT CITY COUNCIL BELIEVES HOW HUTTO NEEDS TO FOCUS SO OUR MISSION STATEMENT IS THE CITY EXISTS TO PROVIDE CORP. SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH REASONABLE STEWARDSHIP OF RESOURCES.

OUR VISION STATEMENT IS MORE OF A ASPIRATIONAL GOAL AND YOUR MISSION STATEMENT IS WHAT YOU DO DAY TO DAY OR WHY YOU EXIST AS AN ORGANIZATION AND OUR MISSION STATEMENT IS TO BUILD A BUSINESS FRIENDLY CITY THAT DELIVERS EFFICIENT SERVICES AND PROMOTES GROWTH AND ENHANCES THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND CURRENTLY OUR CORE VALUES REMAIN THE SAME FROM THE PREVIOUS ITERATION THAT ARE CONSISTENCY, MUTUAL RESPECT, FORWARD THINKING, SERVANT LEADERSHIP AND INTEGRITY.

THIS SECTION AGAIN REMAINS LARGELY UNCHANGED FROM PREVIOUS VERSION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE COUNCIL PHOTO BEING UPDATED.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'LL ZOOM INTO PILLAR ONE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OKAY. SO THIS IS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE CHANGES LIE SO OUR FIRST PILLAR HAS SHIFTED TO GROWTH AND INFRASTRUCTURE ALIGNMENT. THIS IS ALSO IN PILLAR ONE VERY INTENTIONALLY BECAUSE THIS IS CURRENTLY THE HIGHEST PRIORITY OF THE CITY. SO WHAT THIS PILLAR MEANS IS TO ALIGN GROWTH WITH INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY TO TO PRESERVE COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE AND QUALITY AND SOME INITIATIVES HERE YOU WILL NOTICE THERE ARE INITIATIVE AND BULLET POINTS AND MAJOR OVERARCHING PROGRAMS. SO THIS MILESTONE OVERSIGHT AND THEN INSIDE OF THERE YOU WILL SEE SPECIFIC TASKS THAT MAKE IT CLEAR TO STAFF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE SAY THAT, SO ESTABLISH DEFINED PROJECT MILESTONES FOR ALL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FROM DESIGN TO COMPLETION.

IMPLEMENT CENTRALIZED PROJECT TRACKING TO MONITOR TIMELINESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND TO SUSTAIN THE ROAD MAINTENANCE PROGRAM THROUGH 2.1 MILLION INVESTMENT INCREASING WILL LIFE-SPAN OF CURRENT ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE ITEM TONIGHT IS PART OF THAT ROAD MAINTENANCE PROGRAM ON CONSENT FROM PUBLIC WORKS. NEXT IS DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE COORDINATION, IMPROVED COORDINATION BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS AND INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY PLANNING AND ENSURE MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS AND SUPPORT LONG-TERM GROWTH PATTERNS AND MOBILITY NEEDS AND TO ENSURE WATER SUSTAINABILITY AND GROWTH AND LONG-TERM SUPPLY SO REALLY IN A SENSE THAT MAJOR INITIATIVE IS TO ENSURE WHEN WE GROW AS A

[03:15:01]

TO ENSURE WHEN WE BRING THAT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OR THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT IS THERE TO MAKE SENSE NOT THAT HEY, THIS IS A REALLY COOL IDEA. IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT TO HAVE THIS RESTAURANT. THEN IF WE SCROLL TO THE RIGHT WE'LL STICK WITH PILLAR ONE HERE.

FOR PILLAR ONE THESE ARE KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS THAT WE RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL. DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN SAY THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE OR THAT, THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE BUT THESE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND MILESTONE TIME LYME LINES FROM AWARD TO COMPLETION.

CAPACITY TO RELATIVE GROWTH AND DEMAND IN KEY AREAS.

INFRASTRUCTURE REQUEST RESOLUTION TIME.

HOW TO SOLVE SOMETHING WHERE WE CAN PULL NUMBERS TO SAY HOW LONG IT TOOK. RESIDENT SATISFACTION SCORES WITH ROADS AND TRAFFIC AND UTILITIES THROUGH THE COMMUNITY SURVEY AND THEN PERCENT OF HUTTO ROADS RATED GOOD OR EXCELLENT THROUGH THE PSI SCORE. I'M GOING TO PAUSE HERE.

ARE THERE THINGS IN PILLAR ONE THAT THIS BODY BELIEVES NEEDS TO CHANGE OR SOMETHING THAT IS MISSING?

>> YOU ARE ASKING? >> WHAT IS THE PCI SCORE?

>> PUBLIC WORKS CAN EXPLAIN IT BETTER.

>> PAVEMENT INITIATIVE INDEX. >> HOW SMOOTH THE ROADS ARE.

>> IT WAS SOMETHING BASED ON WHAT I THOUGHT BECAUSE WHAT I THINK AND WHAT SOMEONE ELSE THINKS MIGHT BE TWO DIFFERENT

THINGS >> I GUESS YOU ARE ASKING IF WE'RE OKAY WITH PILLAR ONE AND WE TELL YOU GOOD TO GO ON THESE?

>> YES, SIR. >> MY ONLY CONCERN IS, LIKE PERCENT OF CIP COMMUNITY MILESTONE TIME-LINES FROM AWARD TO COMPLETION. WHAT PERCENTAGE? YOU WOMEN COME BACK AND YOU DID 10% OF YOUR PROJECT AND YOU SAID YEAH WE DID A GOOD JOB BECAUSE WE HIT A PERCENT AND WE'RE LIKE RESOLUTION TIME? HOW DO YOU MEASURE IF WE DON'T

KNOW WHAT THE GOAL IS THERE? >> SO THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO HAVE ALL OF THE DATA BEING REPORTED ON AND ALSO, PART OF THE PUBLIC DASHBOARD THAT WE'RE BUILDING SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN SEE WHAT THESE NUMBERS ARE FREEZE INDICATOR AND THE COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER NEED TO DECIDE WHAT ARE THE METRICS THAT WE

SHOULD BE HITTING. >> IF WE SAY WE LIKE IT WE HAVE TO WORK OUT AND WE HAVE TWEAKING.

SO I WANTED TO START OFF FIRST WITH.

THIS AXE EXACTLY AS IT IS BECAUSE YOU HIT YOUR KPI'S AND FOR LIKE WE TALKED. I DON'T THINK WE WANT YOU TO FAIL ON ALL OF THEM BUT IF THEY ARE ALL EASILY MET WE PROBABLY FAIL TO PEOPLE BUT IF WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE STRETCHING, I'M GOOD WITH THOSE BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN COME UP WITH, ASSUMING WE LIKE THIS. YOU CAN COME BACK WITH DATA AND SAY 40 PERCENT. OUR ROADS ARE RATED GOOD OR EXCELLENT AND YOU SAY HEY, WE KEEP 2.8 MILLION OF KP TOY BE 50% KNOWING THAT RICK IS GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET AN EXTRA PERCENT OR TWO BECAUSE OF WHATEVER. I'M ON BOARD WITH ALL OF THAT.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT INCENTIVES. IS THIS A PLACE THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO DO WHATEVER KPI'S OR INDEXES TO SHOW HOW IT'S DOING OR OUR INCENTIVE PROGRAM OR IS THAT INCORPORATED IN THAT?

>> FOR EDC SPECIFIC KPI I RECOMMEND THE ONE YOU REFER TO, SPECIFICALLY THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENTS TO BE SPECIFICALLY ONE BUT I SAW TONIGHT IF WE WANTED TO INCORPORATE THAT AS WELL HERE, THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE BUT MY ORIGINAL INTENTION WAS

FOR IT TO LIVE IN EDC. >> THAT'S FINE.

>> ALRIGHT. ANY CHANGES IN PILLAR ONE?

>> YES, SIR. >> THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION.

>> WE'RE 25% OF THE WAY DONE. >> ALRIGHT.

FOUR PILLARS. >> NEXT WE HAVE REASONABLE

[03:20:04]

INITIATIVES HERE. 2A.

LONG-TERM FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING.

NUMBER ONE, DEVELOP A MULTI-YEAR FINANCIAL FORECAST THAT A LINES OPERATING COSTS, CAPITAL INVESTMENTS AND REVENUE PROJECTIONS. INTEGRATE FINANCIAL FORECASTING INTO ANNUAL BUDGETING DEVELOPMENT AND INCREASE TRANSPARENCY WITH LONG-TERM FINANCIAL IMPACT OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS INCLUDING ASSOCIATED REOCCURRING COSTS.

TO BE REVENUE DIVERSIFICATION AND STEWARDSHIP SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES THAT INCREASE THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE TAX BASE SO THAT'S BACK TO A RATIO OF WHAT OUR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUE IS COMPARED TO OUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUE. ALIGN INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT POLICIES TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN BUSINESS INVESTMENT AND FINALLY MAINTAIN OR REDUCE UTILITY RATES OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS BY IDENTIFYING OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES AND MANAGING COSTS AND ALIGNING CAPITAL INVESTMENTS WITH LONG-TERM AFFORDABILITY.

FINALLY, FOR TWO FINANCIAL STABILITY AND RESERVES, MAINTAIN STRONG FINANCIAL HEALTH THROUGH PRUDENT BUDGET AND ON-GOING MONITORING OF EXPENDITURE AND SUSTAIN MINIMUM OF OPERATING PRESERVE FOR LONG-TERM STABILITY AND RESILIENCE.

WE'RE AT 25% RIGHT NOW. MIGHT EVEN BE HIGHER.

AND THEN IF WE'LL SCROLL OVER AGAIN TO PILLAR TWO, KPI'S.

HERE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TAX SHARES AN A PERCENT OF THE TOTAL TAX BASE GENERAL FUND ANNUAL CHANGE IN UTILITY RATES.

WATER AND WASTEWATER AND THEN OPERATING COSTS PER CAPITA YEAR OVER YEAR TREND. THAT LAST ONE IS MEANT TO MEASURE. ARE WE ACTUALLY REDUCING THE TAX BURDEN ON OUR RESIDENTS YEAR OVER YEAR?

>> AT SOME POINT, ONE CITY MANAGER FOR 10,000 PEOPLE COSTS MORE PER CAPITA FOR 80,000. YOU GET TO A CERTAIN POINT YOU PROBABLY NEED NEW ASSISTANT MANAGER.

GOING TO THE LEFT YOU KIND OF HIT ON.

25%. WE JUST MADE A HURDLE THAT WE CROSS BUT I WOULD NOT, TO ME I WOULD NOT PUT THE PERCENT THERE.

KPI. HERE I WOULD ALMOST PUT LIKE SUSTAINED, I DON'T KNOW. SOMETHING I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE SOMETHING ABOUT RESERVES THERE.

HOWEVER YOU WORD THAT BUT THEN I THINK WE NEED A LOT MORE KPI'S BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL THE INITIATIVE AND FOUR KPI'S AND I'M JUST A TOUGH GUY BUT THERE ARE MORE GENERIC IN NATURE AND SOMETHING WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT FOR BIT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET IN THE NO NEW REVENUE STUFF BUT I DO LIKE WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND I KIND OF LOOK AT WHAT THE GOVERNOR IS LOOKING AT BECAUSE I HAVE A SENSE SOMETHING WILL PASS NEXT YEAR AND SO MAYBE IT'S MORE LIKE TRYING TO GROW WHAT IT IS LIKE, TRYING TO GROW OPERATING EXPENSES NO MORE THAN THE RATE OF INFLATION.

THEY ARE ALREADY PUSHING IT, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND TO ME THE SOONER WE START TO OPERATE LIKE WE THINK THEY WANT US TO AND WE CAN EITHER SAY WE'RE MISSING A KPI AND HAVE TO CUT SERVICES OR HEY, WE'VE ALREADY, SO I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE. I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE AWAY, I DON'T KNOW. I'D ALMOST PUT SOMETHING IN THERE ABOUT DEBT MANAGEMENT AND WE OWE ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS THAT TAKES ME BACK A BIT WHEN I SAY THAT AND MAYBE OUR DEBT RATIO HAS A PERCENTAGE OF PER CAPITA BECAUSE A BILLION AGAIN IS A LOT FOR 40,000 BUT NOT MUCH FOR 200,000 BUT MAYBE WE HAVE SOME GOAL ON WHAT OUR DEBT RAY SHE PER CAPITA IS.

[03:25:06]

>> OKAY. >> AM I OFF-BASE ON SOME OF

THOSE? >> I LIKE THAT RATIO.

>> AGAIN, YOU GUYS GET THE DATA SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN THE GOAL BUT I DO KNOW, WASN'T THE LAW LIKE THEY WANTED YOU TO HAVE LIKE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF YOUR DEBT TO WHERE IF THEY PASSED IT THE LAST SESSION WE WOULD BE LIKE TWO YEARS BEFORE WE COULD ACTUALLY BORROW AGAIN?

>> THAT WAS SOMETHING THEY WERE PROPOSING IS THAT YOUR TOTAL COULDN'T EXCEED CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF YOUR OPERATING.

>> MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOO ADDED IN NOT BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE AN ISSUE OR WE DO HAVE AN ISSUE BUT IF WE START TRACKING IT DOWN SINCE THEY ARE ALREADY THINKING THAT, WE CAN SIT BACK AND GO, LIKE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OPERATES THAT WAY SO IF THEY CAN'T BE ABOVE 40 CENTS OR WHATEVER IT IS I THINK THE LEGISLATURE TENDS TO DO THE EASY BUTTON AND WE'RE ALREADY DOING SO IT ADD IN MUNICIPAL AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY THINK

THEY'VE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. >> UNDERSTOOD.

>> MY ONLY COMMENT IS SO THE SENTENCE UNDER PILLAR TWO.

MAIN NAN LONG-TERM FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY.

SO MAYBE THIS IS A LITTLE NITPICKY BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE UNNECESSARY TAX OR RATE INCREASES.

IF THEY ARE UNNECESSARY YOU SHOULD NOT DO THEM.

YOU SHOULD NOT MINIMIZE THEM YOU SHOULD ELIMINATE THEM.

HAVING BOTH WORDS IS ALMOST SENDING A CONFLICTING MESSAGE IN

MY OPINION. >> FAIR.

>> I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT. I WAS NOT AN ENGLISH MAJOR BUT IF YOU ARE MINIMIZING YOUR TAX YOU ARE ALMOST MINIMIZING

UNNECESSARY ONES. >> WE'RE JUST KEEPING IT AT MINIMUM. I'M LIKE NO.

>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING THAT OUT.

I THINK WHEN I WAS WRITING THIS I WAS PROBABLY A LITTLE OVERLY CAUTIOUS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO EVER WRITE SOMETHING LIKE THIS

THAT SAYS NO TAX RATES. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING IF YOU GET RID OF UNNECESSARY AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO MINIMIZE TAX RATE INCREASES, I'M NOT GOING TO BE HERE NAINA MONTH BUT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY A FUTURE COUNCIL MAY SAY LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LIKE RAISE THE TAX RATE. THERE IT IS A REASON WHY AND WE CAN JUSTIFY IT, RIGHT? BUT I WOULD NEVER GO TO CITIZENS AND SAY I WANT TO RAISE YOUR TAX RATE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING DO WITH THAT MONEY, I'M JUST GOING TO RAISE IT.

THAT WOULD BE AN UNNECESSARY TAX TO ME.

>> DON'T FALL OUT OF YOUR CHAIR BUT WHAT DID I TELL YOU TODAY? I WAS THINKING STARTING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT NOT HAVING

NEW REVENUE FOR VARIOUS REASONS. >> OKAY

>> YEAH. >> OKAY.

I CAN REWORD THAT TO WHERE IT MAKES MORE SENSE.

>> ON THE RIGHT SIDE, DAVID? THE THIRD BULLET, ANNUAL CHANGE IN UTILITY RATES. WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHT ON THAT ONE?

>> COULD GO DOWN. COULD GO DOWN.

SO I UNDERSTAND THIS COUNCIL HAS PASSED A RESOLUTION TO DO EVERYTHING OR DIRECTING STAFF TO DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO ENSURE THE RATE DOES NOT INCREASE.

TO ME THIS IS A MEASUREMENT TO WHERE MAYBE IT ACTUALLY GOES DOWN WHICH WOULD BE A POSITIVE, OBVIOUSLY, IF WE WERE TO SEAT TARGET FOR THIS, NO CHANGE WHATSOEVER WOULD BE THE TARGET THAT WE NEED TO MEET AND THEN IF WE WERE OVER OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S A HUGE CONVERSATION BUT IT COULD ALSO GO DOWN.

>> WHEN I SAW THAT, IT COULD BE INTERPRETED IN DIFFERENT WAYS

DEPENDING ON WHO'S READING IT. >> HE'S GOING TO PUT THE NUMBERS IN ONCE WE GET THE DATA WE'LL HAVE TO PUT IN THERE LIKE NO MORE THAN 2% INCREASE OR TARGETING A ONE PERCENT INCREASE OR 0. SO WE MAY COME AROUND AND SAY YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT BUT WE WANT A ONE PERCENT DROP WHICH IS NOT THAT MUCH TO PEOPLE BUT IT WOULD BE

DIFFERENT THAN RAISING. >> RIGHT.

>> PILLAR THREE? >> HIGH PERFORMING CITY SERVICE.

[03:30:01]

THE FIRST INITIATIVE IS PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY. ESTABLISH STANDARDIZED KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR AS LINED STRATEGIC PRIORITIES BEING THOSE. IMPLEMENT ROUTINE CITY COUNCIL REPORTS AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW PROCESSES TRACK PROGRESS AND OUTCOMES AND PUBLISH PERFORMANCE DATA AND PROGRESS UPDATES TO ENHANCE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

THIS WAS THE DASHBOARD I DISCUSSED.

THE TARGET GOAL IS END OF CALENDAR YEAR 26.

NOT FISCAL YEAR. NEXT IS SERVICE DELIVERY AND ACCESS. HIGH DEMAND SERVICES AND STREAMLINE INTERNAL PROCESSES IMPROVE SERVICE QUALITY AND RESPONSE TIMES. EXPAND DIGITAL SERVICE OPTIONS AND IMPROVE ACCESSIBILITY FOR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES AND ENHANCE COMMUNICATION AND DELIVERY OF COMMUNITY CENTERED SERVICE INCLUDING PARKS, LIBRARY AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS. AND THEN WORKFORCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY.

TRACT AND OBTAIN HIGH PERFORMING EMPLOYEES FOR CONSISTENT SERVICE DELIVERY AND THEN TO ENSURE LEADERSHIP ACCOUNTABILITY AND CLEAR EXPECTATIONS ACROSS DEPARTMENTS AND THEN WE'LL GO TO THE KPI'S AGAIN. PERCENT OF SERVICE REQUEST COMPLETED IN 72 HOURS SO THAT'S HUTTO.

PERCENT OF DEPARTMENTS MEETING ESTABLISH PERFORMANCE TARGETS.

WE DO HAVE A LIST OF INTERNAL KPI'S ALREADY THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR ABOUT THE LAST SIX MONTHS REFERRING TO THAT SPECIFICALLY. THEN SERVICE REQUEST PER ONE THOUSAND RESIDENTS SO HOW MANY ARE WE GETTING EACH MONTH, YEAR, PER THOUSAND RESIDENTS? AND THEN PERCENT OF DEPARTMENTS COMPLETING AN ANNUAL SERVICE LEVEL AND STAFFING REVIEW DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. THIS ONE IS WONKY.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT REALLY A K PI BUT IT'S TRYING TO REFER TO WHEN WE AS DEPARTMENT HEADS DO A BUDGET, PART OF THAT BUDGET PROCESS SHOULD INCLUDE A REVIEW OF THE SERVICES WE HAVE CURRENTLY AND HOW THAT SERVICE IS PERFORMING.

RIGHT NOW IT READS AS JUST GETTING DEPARTMENTS TO DO IT SO I WOULD NEED TO GO TO THE DRAWING BOARD A LITTLE MORE ON EXACTLY WHAT THAT ONE NEEDS TO READ.

>> RIGHT NOW THE WAY IT READS SOUNDS LIKE SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS ARE NOT GOING TO DO IT AND I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE THE DEPARTMENTS ARE BECAUSE OTHERWISE, WE CAN DO IT UP HERE IN THE BUDGET SESSION AND THEY CAN DO IT AND I THINK YOU GUYS DAVID GREAT JOB THIS PAST YEAR. WE DON'T NEED CITY ISSUED CELLPHONES WE WANT TO CHANGE IT UP.

WE DON'T NEEDS A MANY TAKE HOME CARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT SO I WOULD SAY TO TAKE OUT THE PERCENT AND MAKE IT HOW YOU HAVE TO WORK TOWARDS THE DEPARTMENTS DOING THAT.

>> IS THIS THE ANONYMOUS ONE BEING DONE?

>> THAT'S THE GALLOP SURVEY. THIS IS OUTSIDE, SO GALLOP SURVEYS DO HELP OUR BUDGET PROCESS, AS WELL AND THAT'S KIND OF THE EMPLOYEES SPEAKING UP TO THE ORGANIZATION ON WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE, BUT THIS WOULD BE LOOKING AT WHAT ALL OF OUR SERVICE ARE, WE JUST IMPLEMENTED THE CHAT BOTH.

WE SHOULD LOOK HOW OFTEN THAT IS ACTUALLY USED THROUGH DASHBOARD, SO IF WE HAVE TEN PEOPLE USING IT AND THE SOFTWARE COSTS $10,000, WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T CONTINUE USING THAT SOFTWARE SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ATTEMPTING TO REFER TO.

>> OKAY. >> DID I DO THAT?

DID YOU? >> I DIDN'T TOUCH IT.

>> I WAS TRYING TO MOVE OVER. THANK YOU.

[03:35:03]

I THINK I'M GOING TOO FAR. >> AM I MOVING ON TO PILLAR

FOUR? >> YEAH, I THINK SO.

>> PILLAR FOUR. THIS USED TO READ, QUALITY OF LIFE. QUALITY OF LIFE IS IN OUR VISION STATEMENT SO IT IS NOT REMOVED FROM THE STRATEGIC PLAN, QUALITY OF LIFE IS STILL IMPORTANT TO THIS COUNCIL AND THE CITY OF HUTTO BUT FOR STRATEGIC PRIORITY QUALITY OF LIFE IS A LITTLE GENERIC AND PUT IN STRATEGIC PLAN AS A CATCH-ALL.

HEY, EVERYTHING WE HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT, THROW IT IN QUALITY OF LIFE. SO WE'RE TAKING A TARGETED APPROACH OF SAYING THAT ANOTHER ONE OF OUR PRIORITIES IS COMMUNITY TRUST SO STRENGTHEN PUBLIC TRUST THROUGH RELIABLE PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICE AND TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION AND RESPONSIVE ENGAGEMENT. THE FIRST INITIATIVE IS EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND PUBLIC SAFETY.

MAINTAIN LEVELS OF HIGH PUBLIC SAFETY.

ENSURE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY CAPABILITIES, INVEST IN PUBLIC SAFETY INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY GROWTH. THEN WE MOVE INTO TRANSPARENCY AND COMMUNITY COMMUNICATION. REGARDING CITY SERVICES AND PROJECTS AND PRIORITIES, DELIVER ROUTINE UPDATE ON MAJOR INITIATIVE AND CAPITAL PROJECTS AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND INCREASED PUBLIC INFORMATION FOR INFORMED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND RESIDENT ENGAGEMENT AND FEEDBACK.

CONDUCT REGULAR COMMUNITY SURVEYS AND INCORPORATE INTO IMPROVEMENTS. SPAN OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS ENGAGEMENT AND TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION AND THEN FINALLY USE REAL TIME RESIDENT FEEDBACK TO INFORM OPERATIONAL AND POLICY DECISIONS THAT LAST ONE IS BECOMING NOW FOR THE CITY OF HUTTO. WE HAVE A STRATEGY SESSION WITH THE VENDOR ACTUALLY TOMORROW, BUT WE ARE SLOWLY IMPLEMENTING A SOFTWARE WHICH IN THEORY, WITH ENOUGH MANPOWER AND HOURS WE COULD HAVE THAT IMPLEMENTED IN EVERY SERVICE DELIVERY POINT IN THE CITY TO WHERE IF A RESIDENT IS EXPERIENCING SOMETHING THAT'S FRUSTRATING THEM IT'S AWAY FOR THEM TO EXPRESS THAT.

WHETHER IT'S GOING ON A SITE OR PAYING A UTILITY BILL AND THOSE COMPLAINTS GO DIRECTLY TO MYSELF AND THEN AREAS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY IT, FOR US TO TWEAK AND MAKE OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT MAYBE WE ARE NOT SEEING. HOW THIS CURRENTLY WORKS IN THE CITY OF HUTTO IS THOSE TYPES OF COMPLAINTS TEND TO BUILD UP MAYBE 100 PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THAT THING AND OUT OF THOSE HUNDRED PEOPLE MAYBE THERE'S TWO OR THREE INDIVIDUALS THAT KNOW IF I REACH OUT TO THE CITY MANAGER THIS WILL GET CHANGED, OR IF I REACH OUT TO COUNCIL MEMBER MORRIS THEY'LL ADDRESS THIS AND THEN WE'LL ABOUT IT BUT THAT INDIVIDUAL THAT REACHED OUT, THERE WERE TONS OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. POTENTIALLY.

AND THEN IF WE'LL SCROLL TO THE CURRENT KPI'S HERE.

WE HAVE POLICE RESPONSE TIMES ON PRIORITY CALLS.

THEY HAVE DIFFERENT PRIORITIES AND RESPONSE TIMES.

PRIORITY ONE CALLS REQUIRE QUICKER RESPONSE TIMES, CRIME RATE FOR ONE THOUSAND RESIDENTS. PERCENT OF MAJOR CITY PROJECTS WITH UPDATES PROVIDED MONTHLY OR AT KEY MILESTONES AND THEN RESIDENT SATISFACTION WITH CITY SERVICES AND COMMUNITY SURVEY.

SO IN THE COMMUNITY IS SURVEY WE HAVE TONS OF QUESTIONS FOR CITY SERVICE, SO THIS COULD BE UP TO 20 DIFFERENT QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE MEASURING EACH TIME WE TAKE THAT SURVEY.

>> THE THIRD BULLET. IT IS A PERCENT OF MAJOR CITY PROJECTS SO YOU CAN DO 30 PERCENT OF THE PROJECTS YOU DEEM MAJOR SO HOW DO WE GRADE YOU ON THAT? TO ME IT, IF YOU ARE GOING TO UP DATE A PERCENT OF THE CIP PROJECTS THAT ARE UPDATED, BECAUSE I THINK TO EVERYONE EVERY PROJECT IS MAJOR TO THAT PERSON AND THE WATER LINE IS NOT MAJOR TO ME IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BUT IT IS TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

>> WOULDN'T THAT BE COVERED ON THE CIP STUFF?

>> NO I'M SAYING THEY ARE GOING TO COMMUNICATE YOU DO, WELL WHO

[03:40:06]

IT SERVICE NOT PROPAGANDA NOW. IT'S LIKE I HEAR YOU AND WE'RE SCREWING SOUP WE'RE TRYING TO FIX IT TO MEET US HONEST AND DIRECT VERSES MOST OF THESE TRYING TO TELL YOU, YOU ARE WRONG AND IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD.

BUT SOMETHING IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A LOT GOING ON FOR TRANSPARENCY AND COMMUNICATION BUT ONLY ONE ITEM AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO PROVIDE UPDATES ON CIP PROJECTS.

>> CAN I ADD ON TO THAT? ONE OF THE THINGS - USED TO HAVE QUARTERLY HOA NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS.

THERE WAS A LIAISON CITY MEMBER THAT SPONSORED THAT.

MAINLY FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS BUT IT WAS OPEN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT KIND OF A TWO-WAY STREET. I THINK THAT WORKED WELL IN THE HO A AND NEIGHBORHOODS AND I THINK BRING THAT BACK AND SPONSOR IT BUT ALSO OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT MAY BE COMING UP HAVING THESE QUARTERLY SESSIONS WHERE WE ALMOST HAVE SOMETHING MAYBE YOU KNOW TWO OR THREE TIMES A QUARTER, DIFFERENT ASPECTS. ONE IS NEIGHBORHOOD.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER THINGS. THE OTHER THING SIP, CIP.

HOW CAN WE IMPLEMENT DASHBOARDS. I'M NOT TRYING TO DEFINE THEM BUT I LIKE THE DASHBOARD AND THE LISTENING OF THINGS, WE DO IN THE CRITICAL PROJECTS ON THE CIP.

WHATEVER THOSE DASHBOARDS LOOK LIKE, THAT'S DIGITAL WHERE THE OTHER ONE THE QUARTERLY MEETINGS WHERE YOU ARE ALIVE PERSON TOWN HALL TYPE OF THING SO THAT ATTEMPTS TO MEET THE TRANSFERRING COMMUNICATION AND RESIDENT ENGAGEMENT FEEDBACK, SO SOMEHOW QUARTERLY MEETINGS ALONG WITH DIGITAL DASHBOARDS TO GIVE

YOU A SNAPSHOT OF THINGS. >> I LIKE THE QUARTERLY MEETING LIKE A QUARTERLY HOA MEETING. I DON'T KNOW IF I'D DO IT MONTHLY BUT LIKE ONE A QUARTER. INVITE THEM ALL HERE AND AT LEAST YOU GUYS CAN GIVE UPDATE AND HAVE A TOPIC EVERY QUARTER.

>> JUST HAVE ONE AND LET THAT BODY DECIDE.

>> WE REALLY DON'T DO THAT. >> NOT AT ALL.

>> I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY NEIGHBORHOODS WE HAVE.

>> LAST TIME WITH US WITH MAYOR HOLLAND.

>> YOU KNOW THERE IS A POWER BREAKFAST EVERY MONTH.

IT IS JUST COCONFUSING. >> USED TO BE SOMETHING ELSE.

>> I THINK THE CHAMBER PUTS IT ON BUT IT'S RAN BY CHIEF BUT I THINK THE CHAMBER PUTS IT ON. THE CHAMBER SENDS OUT THE INVITES BUT A QUARTERLY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT? WHETHER, MAYBE IT IS A VIDEO BUT THEN YOU HAVE ALL THE DEPARTMENTS COMING UP AND GIVING UPDATES TO ALL THE CITIZENS.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GO TO A POWER BREAKFAST BUT THEY MAY WATCH IT. YOU GUYS ARE ALREADY DOING UPDATES NOW. I THOUGHT I SAW A POST ABOUT YOU GUYS GOING TO DO REGULAR UPDATES ON PROJECT?

>> YES, SIR. ROAD PROJECTS WE HAVE COMMITTED TO PUTTING OUT AN UPDATE MONTHLY.

>> IT WOULD BE COOL FIT'S QUARTERLY OR BI MONTHLY BUT DOING IT THAT WAY WHERE YOU KNOW THE PARKS, EVERYONE CAN GIVE AN UPDATE ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY.

>> I THINK WHAT I'M HEARING FROM COMMUNITY TRUST IS THAT OPEN COMMUNICATION AND RESPONSE TO THE CITIZENS ON WHAT'S HAPPENING AND BASICALLY WHAT ARE THEY GETTING? WHAT'S THE BANG FOR THE BUCK. I THINK THAT'S THE COMMUNITY TRUST TELLING THEM WHAT'S HAPPENING, RIGHT? TALKING TO THEM C. OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE CONCERNS.

>> ALLOW THEM TO GET UPSET AT US BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY ARE UPSET.

[03:45:06]

HAPPY. >> I WOULD RATHER FACE-TO-FACE SO WE CAN REALLY SIT AT THE TABLE AND DISCUSS IT.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AN ACTUAL SPECIAL MEETING BUT JUST AN OPEN FORUM WHERE WE HAVE TWO-WAY CONVERSATIONS.

>> THE TWO-WAY ONE IS TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT.

I DO THINK FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE THAT'S AN AREA THAT MAYBE WE DON'T GET ENOUGH OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST HAVE A

CONVERSATION. >> AND THE FORMALNESS OF THIS.

>> CORRECT. JUST MORE INFORMAL OPPORTUNITIES, COFFEE WITH THE CITY MANAGE ANOTHER COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR OR COUNCIL. THINGS THAT PEOPLE FEEL ARE LOWER STAKE ITEMS TO WHERE THEY CAN JUST COME AND TALK.

>> THAT IS A GREAT ONE. >> THEY LOVE THAT.

>> I JUST DON'T THINK PEOPLE COME OUT TO THOSE.

>> I'VE BEEN TO A COUPLE OF COFFEE WITH A COP.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT. EVERYONE I'VE BEEN TO IT'S ALL THE OFFICERS, VERY FEW COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL ATTEND THOSE

THINGS. >> I THINK WHAT IT IS, IT'S LIKE MY WIFE ASKS ME, YOU GIVE OUT YOUR PHONE NUMBER? I SAY YOU GIVE OUT YOUR BUSINESS CARD AND HARDLY ANYBODY EVER DOES IT BUT THEY REMEMBER YOU GAVE IT OUT.

WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN WE LOOK BACK AND DO THESE THINGS IF I DO NEED TO TALK TO THE CHIEF I KNOW WHERE TO FIND HIM.

NOBODY GOES BECAUSE YOU CAN ALWAYS GO.

IF YOU LIVE IN ST. LOUIS, HOW MANY PEOPLE NEVER SAW THE ARCH BECAUSE YOU COULD SEE IT ANYTIME OF THE DAY AND THAT'S THE THING.

THE MORE WE ENGAGE THE PUBLIC, WE JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO FEEL BAD THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT COMING.

IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE FEEL THEY CAN COME LATER.

>> WHEN WE HAD THE HOA QUARTERLY MEETINGS THAT WAS WELL RECEIVED AND ATTENDED AND IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND IT WASN'T A COUNCIL MEETING. NOT SAYING THE COUNCIL SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO GO TO THAT BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR CHARTER OR ANYTHING BUT HAVING, YOU KNOW, ADDING A MEETING EVERY OTHER MONTH THAT'S A QUARTERLY MEETING SO WE'RE ADDING ONE OR TWO PER QUARTER EXTRA FOR THIS AND HAVING THAT WHERE WE HAVE A ROOM FULL OF 10 TO 50 PEOPLE ON AVERAGE.

WE HAD 20 TO 25 IN THE HOA QUARTERLY MEETINGS AND COUNCIL WAS THERE. IT WAS ANOINT COUNCIL MEETING.

IT WAS US SITTING THERE. I LIKE COFFEE WITH A COP BUT THERE WILL NOT BE A HUGE ATTENDANCE BUT IF WE HAVE A QUARTERLY MEETING AND ESTABLISH MO MOMENT. IF WE HAVE THE PARKS MEETING ONCE A MONTH AND THAT DOESN'T GET MUCH ATTENDANCE BUT AGAIN IT IS A FORMAL MEETING. PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED REALLY TO SPEAK EXCEPT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND FOLLOWING THE FORMAT OF THE PAST WE WERE JUST HEY, BRINGING UP THINGS.

IMPLEMENTING NEW SIDEWALK PLANS OR PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY PLAN THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ALSO HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT HEY, WHAT ARE YOUR CONCERNS? WE HAVE FLYING DEBRIS FROM THIS CONSTRUCTION SITE HERE AND IT'S IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S ONE THING TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT BUT TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND TALKING ABOUT IT MEANS SOMETHING TO RESIDENTS TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A VOICE AND SHARE THEIR VOICE AND THEN SOMEONE FROM YOU KNOW SOMEONE FROM THE COUNCIL ACTUALLY LISTEN TO IT.

NOT SAYING THEY DON'T ANYWAY BUT YOU KNOW.

>> KPI? >> KPI FOR MY BELL.

>> WE HAVE TWO OF THEM. >> I KNOW.

>> WOW. >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER KPI'S OR CHANGES FOR PILLAR FOUR? YOU WANT TO GET US START FOR

ANOTHER HALF HOUR? >> NO.

>> I WANT TO ADD PILLAR FIVE. >> I THINK WE'RE GOOD ON FOUR.

>> ALRIGHT. THEN IF WE'LL ZOOM OUT AGAIN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO THIS PAGE REALLY IS DESIGNED

[03:50:03]

IN THE MILESTONE SECTION. IT ALSO UPDATED THE COMMUNITY SURVEY RESULTS THERE TO 2026. THEN I'M GOING TO REPEAT THE SAME THING FOR THIS SECTION. AS WELL AS THIS SECTION AND THEN FINALLY FOR PILLAR FOUR. THAT IS ALL OF THE PLAN.

>> I DON'T THINK WE NEED ACTION ON THIS, RIGHT?

>> SO TO ME I THINK YOU HEARD IT, BRING IT BACK AND WE HAVE IT'S A CONSENT AGENDA AND BASED ON IT, WHEN YOU GUYS HAVE ISSUE

WITH THAT? >> NO.

>> OKAY. MOTION?

>> I CAN WORK WITH CITY MANAGER, JUST THE AREA THAT I'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN IS WHAT ARE THE TARGETS, RIGHT? DIRECTION IF COUNCIL WANTS TO DIRECT CITY MANAGER TO SET THOSE TARGETS OR RECOMMEND THOSE TARGETS OR CITY MANAGER DOESN'T NEED OR IF IT NEEDS TO BE CITY COUNCIL, THAT WOULD BE THE ONE

AREA. >> I THINK WE HAVEN'T BEEN USING MESSAGE BOARD LATELY SO THAT WOULD BE A GOOD TO THROW OUT THERE. THREE YEAR TREND, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE THINKING. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

>> GO THROUGH THAT AND THEN BRING IT BACK ON CONSENT.

>> MAYBE DO IT BY PILLAR INSTEAD OF ALL AT ONCE.
